Villain: I really didn't want Master to be pregnant!

______________________

Decades passed.

Chu Xiu was gray-haired, hunchbacked, with a cane, and was too old to walk anymore.

Many of his servants had died of old age.

Those who did not die of old age were rewarded with money by him and sent back to their hometowns for the elderly.

He guarded the hospital alone.

Work at sunrise, rest at sunset, one person, one lamp, one tea and one bamboo chair.

The annual Lantern Festival is here.

He sat in front of the door, and the blood-red sunset slanted to the west, pulling his hunched figure to a very, very long.

He held the bamboo strips, squinted his eyes, and carefully weaved the lanterns.

Soon, the skeleton of the lantern was prepared.

Take out the white paper, paste the lantern, then pick up the brush, dip a little ink, and draw flowers, birds, fish and bamboo.

After the ink dried, he lit the lantern and hung it in front of the door.

Looking at the lantern, a smile from the heart appeared on the old face, and a ray of brilliance flowed in a pair of cloudy old eyes.

: "This is life, this is the way."

He shook his head, closed the door and went to rest.

The next day, early in the morning.

A luxury convoy is slowly approaching.

Stop at the entrance of the hospital.

The curtain of the most luxurious carriage in the middle of the fleet was drawn.

An old lady with white hair and gorgeous clothes was helped out of the car.

Turning her head to look at the familiar houses, wooden bridges, streams, and bamboo forests around her, the old woman had tears in her eyes.

She trembled towards the hospital.

Knock lightly on the door.

dong dong dong-

After a while, the door opened, and an old, wrinkled, age-spotted face came into view,

Vaguely, she could see a familiar outline from this face.

Two lines of tears rolled down her cheeks, and the old woman trembled, "Teacher, I'm back!"

Chu Xiu showed a kind smile on his face, just like back then, "Come back, come in!"

The old woman nodded and followed Chu Xiu into the house.

Looking at the familiar furnishings in the house, the old lady felt complicated.

: "Teacher, shortly after I got married, I went to Xianyang, the capital of the country, with my husband's family. I haven't been able to come back to see you. I feel really uneasy!"

Chu Xiu waved her hand and led her to sit down at the wooden table.

He got a glass of water for him, and then said: "What's so good about my old bones, as long as you live well."

The old woman held a steaming glass of water and looked at the old man in front of her with tears in her eyes.

: "Teacher, have you been alone all these years?"

Chu Xiu nodded and smiled, "I'm used to being alone, how about you, how are you doing?"

"Well—" the old lady nodded, "I will live a life of prosperity and wealth, and my children and grandchildren will live forever."

The two were chatting, chatting about their parents, without the slightest estrangement, just like back then.

The sun star is tilted westward.

Dusk hour.

The old lady was about to leave, and before she left, she invited Chu Xiu to go to the county town to retire.

Chu Xiu declined.

Watch the convoy away.

He resumed his life alone again.

Spring goes to autumn, one morning three years later.

A speeding carriage broke the silence.

: "Old man, is the old man there?"

The driver jumped out of the carriage and galloped into the hospital.

:"What's wrong?"

An old voice came from the side.

The young man turned his head to the side, and saw an old man with a bent back and a face full of ravines, carrying a medicine basket, walking from the river.

He hurriedly stepped forward, crying anxiously: "Old man, I am the third grandson of Qin Miao, my grandma is dying, and I want to see you for the last time before she dies."

There was a layer of waves in Chu Xiu's cloudy old eyes.

Nodding his head, he didn't say much. The medical clinic that hadn't closed for decades closed its doors for the first time today.

The young man helped him into the carriage.

With a low voice, "drive—"

The carriage galloped away.

Dusk hour.

The carriage arrived at the county seat, a luxurious manor.

Knowing that Chu Xiu was coming, the owner of the manor came out to greet him in person.

It was a middle-aged man in his forties, with a refined and dignified temperament.

His name is Yang Chong, Qin Miao's eldest son, and he holds an important position in Xianyang, the capital of the country.

Even after decades passed, Chu Xiu, the prime minister of the left, was still well-known in Xianyang and well-known to everyone. His mother was a student of this, so their family could have a smooth road to official career.

: "Old man..."

Yang Chong bowed respectfully, and personally supported Chu Xiu into the inner hall of the manor.

Through the corridors, rockery, and gurgling water.

Came to Qin Miao's small courtyard.

Chu Xiu saw Qin Miao again.

She was lying on the bed, dying, her brows were full of lifelessness, her life was not long.

Chu Xiu sat beside her, held her withered hand, and remained silent.

Qin Miao opened her eyes, looked at him, and forced a smile on her face, "I wanted to take care of the teacher's retirement, but in the end I have to trouble you."

The direct descendants of the Yang family gathered around, seeing this scene, many of them secretly wiped their tears.

"I'm used to it by myself, wherever I go, where I'm buried!" Chu Xiu smiled kindly, the wrinkles on his face trembling.

Qin Miao also showed a smile on his face, and a line of tears flowed down his cheeks, "Teacher, I have regrets in my heart."

"You said—" Chu Xiu patted her withered hand.

"Miao Miao wants to eat again, the chicken leg rice made by the teacher himself." Qin Miao said weakly.

There was a touch of sadness in Chu Xiu's cloudy old eyes, and he nodded, "Okay, the teacher will do it for you."

: "Well, trouble teacher!"

Qin Miao slowly closed his eyes, with a smile on his face, the last trace of life was lost.

:"mother--"

Yang Chong rushed to the bedside, crying loudly.

There was a burst of crying in the room.

Chu Xiu stood up and gave the space to the descendants of the Yang family.

Came to the yard alone, looked up at the starry sky.

After a long silence, he summoned the servants of the Yang family, set up a boiler in the yard, and started to stew chicken.

Sitting in front of the fire, adding firewood little by little, murmured to himself, "A mortal's life can be as long as a hundred years or as short as a few decades. Along the way, both worry-free A carefree childhood, but also passionate youth, from the busy middle age to the leisurely and quiet old age, and finally returned to a handful of loess."

Exactly at this moment.

Boom————

Over Hongfeng County, there was a loud noise.

Someone screamed.

: "The monster clan, the monster clan invaded..."

Above the sky, a group of monsters with different looks, led by a great sage tiger monster, rushed into Hongfeng County covering the sky and covering the sun. The number was at least over a thousand, and their evil spirit was soaring.

: "Kill kill kill—"

: "Brothers, sacrifice blood to the whole city, refine blood pills—"

The monsters laughed wildly.

There were screams in the city.

In the Yang family manor, fear is spreading.

Yang Chong ran to Chu Xiu's side, and said anxiously: "Don't stew the chicken, old man, the monster clan is here, you follow me to the underground safe house to escape."

Chu Xiu didn't seem to see the sky, the demon clan that came overwhelmingly, added a piece of firewood to the fire without haste.

: "Don't worry, the stew will be ready soon!"

: "Oh, what time is it, you still stew chicken~" Yang Chong was sweating profusely, his face was full of anxiety.

Chu Xiu lifted the lid of the pot, picked up a pair of chopsticks, poked it, and the chicken was stewed in the pot with a soft and fragrant smell.

: "Well, well——"

The corner of his mouth curled up, he picked up the bowl, filled the rice with distinct grains, unscrewed a chicken leg, put it on the white rice, and poured some chicken soup into the rice.

Standing up, he handed the bowl to Yang Chong, "Send it to your mother's spirit."

Yang Chong took it, "Master, we..."

He didn't finish his sentence.

He opened his mouth wide in shock...

The rest of the Yang family also looked at Chu Xiu in shock.

I saw his originally hunched back, but I don't know when it became straight.

With his back to everyone, he raised his hands in the air.

:"this--"

The Yang family was stunned.

: "Is this old man a big monk?"

Chu Xiu walked towards Gao Tian step by step, and came to the group of monsters.

The leader of the Great Sage Tiger Demon looked at him viciously, "Who are you, old man!!"

Chu Xiu's cloudy old eyes became as deep as an abyss at this time, he scanned the surroundings, and opened his mouth to spit out: "Bro—"

The sound was like thunder, shaking nine heavens and ten earths, and the bodies of the demon clans who invaded Hongfeng County all froze.

In the next moment, one by one turned into nothingness.

The tiger demon headed by the tiger opened its eyes wide, stared at Chu Xiu in horror, and said in a trembling voice: "Holy king, you are a holy king, how could it be..."

As soon as the words fell, the body turned into nothingness like other monster races.

The mortals in Hongfeng City, seeing this scene, stared blankly at the sky, prostrated themselves on the ground, and called out immortals.

The Yang family who knew Chu Xiu looked at the old man in the sky in disbelief, as if struck by lightning.

Yang Chong lowered his head and glanced at the steaming chicken rice in his hand, his lips trembling, "Mother, what kind of existence do you worship as your teacher?"

After eliminating all the demon clans, Chu Xiu stood tall in the nine heavens, bathed in starlight, and slowly closed his eyes.

A kind of enlightenment rushed to my heart, and the last edge of my heart was erased, and it finally became round and natural.

"The monks in the world seek the Tao all their lives, but they don't know that the Tao is always under the feet of all living beings."

"Hey, after nearly a hundred years of seeking the Tao, I finally understand."

"When a monk enters the Tao, he enters the mortal world first."

"If you refine your mind like this, you can also return to oneness."

"It's been a long time since I sent a ball for love. My family members send one... for free, don't want it for nothing!"
