Keqing, it’s just cultivating immortality, is it that difficult?

Is existence reasonable since ancient times?

No.

Existence is just existence, whether it is reasonable or not depends on the current environment.

Since you cannot change the environment, then make sure the environment cannot change you.

She just needs to protect her happy growth and guide her to have positive values ​​within her ability. There is no need to do too many unimportant things, nor is there any need to destroy this innocence and dependence.

What is there to fear as long as you have the power to protect yourself?

"But I will leave, sooner or later."

she whispered.

"Then... then later..."

A small voice came out from my arms.

"A little later, stay with me a little longer."

Facing Wanxiao's cautious request, who secretly closed her eyes but quietly looked up, Keqing smiled.

"it is good."

She agreed.

"Hey……"

The sound of her giggling was quiet yet open and aboveboard. Keqing picked her up and shook her.

"Hmm, I've gained weight. I should train more."

"Keqing is training me personally!?"

"Ok!"

"Then I must train well."

In the yard on a warm sunny day, an adult and a child are talking softly and lovingly to each other, enjoying the warm sunshine of spring alone with willow catkins fluttering in the wind.

……

……

Although no one came to visit again, and after Meng's publicity, everyone knew that the other party did not like this, but under the current circumstances, Wan Xiao's situation still attracted everyone's attention.

Including Dayu.

As the rumors intensified, he also remembered his granddaughter and came to Wanxiao's courtyard.

Dayu is also a witch, but as a witch his strength is obviously average. He is more responsible for managing the Wu tribe and is a powerful tribal ruler.

He looked very young, only in his thirties, with just a few wrinkles on his face, a pale face and no beard, and he was wearing a long red robe.

Yet he was already over a hundred years old, nearly two hundred.

The lifespan of witches is also very long. Transformed by the power of heaven and earth, their lifespan is even longer than that of future monks.

For a wizard and a monk of the same strength, the wizard's life span is usually several times longer than the latter.

This is not only caused by the way of cultivation, but also by the environment.

After all, in this situation where the power of heaven and earth is everywhere, the witch at this time is equivalent to the monks thrown into the spiritual liquid in the future, and his lifespan will naturally be greatly extended.

Even the lifespan of ordinary mortals is greatly exceeded.

If it were not for this reason, even with their fertility, humans would not have been able to gain a foothold on the continent of Kyushu.

Longevity represents the continuation of experience and knowledge, and can pass on those immortal skills and past to the tribe and future generations.

In the chaotic times when ferocious beasts roamed everywhere and the world was in chaos, in that era without books and written language, lifespan replaced the important role of human historical records.

However, as the power of heaven and earth gradually decreased, the human lifespan also gradually decreased.

But even so, the average life expectancy of ordinary people today is around 140 to 150 years, if there are no natural disasters or man-made disasters.

Therefore, Da Wu is not old at this age. As a mortal he may be old, but as a wizard, he is still very young.

Looking at Wanxiao in front of him, he didn't say anything. The two looked at each other for a long time before Da Wu spoke.

"You're not like her..."

Da Wu was silent for a while. What he was referring to was naturally his rebellious daughter, Wan Wu, who was once the expectation of the Wu tribe and was expected to become a great witch.

Wanxiao looked at him without saying anything, but picked up the whetstone in her hand and continued sharpening the sword.

The sound of sharpening a knife could be heard.

Da Wu looked at her, then looked around.

Suddenly he found a place to sit down and talked to himself.

"My daughter Wan is different from you. She is lively but also very naughty. She always bullies others by relying on my favor. Every time, I have to clean up the mess she makes."

"She is a restless person. She doesn't study seriously, but she is very serious about playing. She always thinks of strange things to play tricks on people. But she has the strongest talent. It's really fate's trick."

Da Wu spoke slowly, but the only response she got was the sizzling sound of sharpening the knife. Wan Xiao also had to concentrate completely and not pay any attention to his expression or movements.

Jian Dayu looked over and she seemed to remember something.

"Oh……"

Keqing simply responded by saying that it was basic courtesy, so she continued sharpening her knife.

Wanxiao's whetstone and sword at this time are both made of special materials, and sharpening them requires a lot of strength and skill. This can exercise the body, so it is also Wanxiao's daily homework.

Da Wu was not surprised by her response because she knew what Wan Xiao was like.

When Wu brought her back, she ignored him, said nothing, had a dull look in her eyes, and looked like a fool.

So he didn't give her any special treatment at that time, and even if he wanted to, Wu wouldn't agree.

No, it should be said that as long as he insisted, there would be no disagreement. However, he did not insist, but treated it the same as everyone else.

Da Wu smiled.

"So you are very unlike her. They all say you are a fool, and I think you are, too. But now it seems that you are not stupid, it's just..."

"You're just not her."

Da Wu sighed.

"Wan has become a well-behaved girl since she became an adult, and her abilities have gradually improved. Who would have thought that someone like her would like such a smooth-talking man?"

There was some resentment in Da Wu's eyes.

"What kind of romance is this? It's just sending some flowers and changing some tricks every day to make her happy. She's just an ordinary witch. What's so good about it?"

Wanxiao suddenly raised her head.

"Are you jealous?"

She tilted her head in confusion.

"What!!"

Da Wu was a little stunned.

"You must be jealous because no one treats you like this. I heard that Da Wu always looks for someone he doesn't like to marry. You are Da Wu, so you don't have anyone you like, so you are jealous?"

Wanxiao says whatever she thinks.

"How could that be! How could I be jealous of Wan!"

Wanxiao looked at him steadily and said nothing.

"Oh, I thought you were jealous, so why are you holding her back?"

Da Wu looked a little unhappy.

"That's because she's disobedient. As my daughter, I've already chosen a suitable partner for her, but she's not satisfied!"

Da Wu said aggressively.

"So she left."

Wanxiao thought about it.

"You chose a partner for her in order to have many powerful bloodlines like mine. As a result, because of you, the most powerful bloodline was

left. "

"She was disobedient!! If she had been obedient."

"Then why didn't you listen to her?"

When Da Wu was refuting, Wan Xiao suddenly interrupted.

"What!? You asked me to listen to her! I'm her father!"

"But I heard that you also rebelled against your father in order to find someone you loved, and you didn't obey him at that time. Why can you disobey but she can't?"

Da Wu paused.

"Besides, Wu didn't force her to marry. It was just your self-righteousness that kept happening."

Even if Wanxiao didn't take the initiative to find out about the woman's loss, more news would have reached her ears, so she had a very clear understanding of the whole experience.

"It's really weird. You can disobey her, but she can't. No one asked you to do so, but you have to force her to do so?"

Wanxiao tilted her head.

"Keqing said that everyone belongs to themselves. Do you regard her as your appendage?"

"If that's the case, I hope I don't want to be your granddaughter, because I'm not your appendage, I belong to Keqing!"

As she spoke, Wan Xiao lowered her head and continued sharpening the knife.

These words were innocent and naive, but they directly dug into Da Wu's heart.

Jealousy? Maybe a little bit, regret, maybe a little bit too.

In fact, after so many years, his heart has become very complicated, but also indifferent. No matter how complicated the emotions are, they will become soft, powerless and without fluctuations after being immersed in time.

He had regretted it before and was angry at his daughter for being disobedient and bringing shame upon himself. Sometimes he even thought that he should not have been so tough at the time.

He had no intention of killing the witch, it was just all a mistake.

Sometimes he wanted to explain, but the person who could explain was no longer there.

It's hard to say whether he is still brooding over it or not. After all, this matter has been on his mind for a long time. Finally, he wants to find it out and see what happened to his daughter. As a result, he finds Wanxiao, a fool.

It's ridiculous that such a strong daughter gave birth to a fool. It was like a slap in the face, and I didn't know whether I was slapping myself or her.

Now it seems that the one being beaten is himself.

His eyes unconsciously fell on Wanxiao. He looked at her blankly, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a long time, Da Wu stood up.

“I may be wrong, but I don’t think I’m wrong.”

After saying this, he left.

Wanxiao just looked up at her, then lowered her head and continued sharpening the knife.

Since then, more and more people have been serving in the yard, and their treatment has visibly improved.

But this made no difference to Wanxiao. To her, as long as Keqing was by her side teaching her how to practice sword, she would be satisfied.

And so, as time passed, the annual festival began.

Chapter 450: One Sword (Fifth Update)

The grand sacrifice was approaching, and the entire Wu tribe became busy.

The so-called grand festival is both a kind of festival-like existence and a ceremony concerning the awakening of all Wuzi and Wunu.

Because this is related to the awakening of witch power and whether it can gain the favor of the gods, which is a crucial node.

Of course, being favored by the gods is a long-standing thing. Ever since the demise of the Divine Court and the disappearance of the gods, the gods have appeared less and less frequently, so people no longer expect these things, but instead focus more on the irrigation and baptism of the power of heaven and earth.

The so-called grand sacrifice requires the cooperation of all the witches. The witches emit their own marks and are guided by powerful witches to draw the power of heaven and earth for irrigation.

And this is called baptism.

Wu Nu and Wu Zi need to endure the baptism of the power of heaven and earth, while emitting their own marks to attract the attention of heaven and earth.
