Chapter 690: Bloodline of the Old Place

Chapter 690: Bloodline of the Old Place

After leaving Qian Palace courtyard, Yu Lie flew straight towards the outside of Qianzhou Road City.

The second thing he had to do next was to bring Heishuizi back from the outside world and repair the relationship.

Now that Heishuizi has run away, on the one hand he is intentionally avoiding Yu Lie, and on the other hand he is also revisiting his old place, running to the remote area where he was exiled.

That place was also the place where Yu Lie embarked on the path of Taoism, Heishui Town!

When he was a Taoist boy, Yu Lie traveled between Heishui Town and Qianzhou Taoist City. He had to climb mountains and cross rivers and change dragon carriages several times. Now that he has reached the Jindan stage, he can travel without a trace and can reach a distance of tens of thousands of miles in a moment.

Among them, because Qianshui County is located between Heishui Town and Qianzhou Daocheng, Yu Lie happened to pass by the sky above Qianshui County.

He paused briefly above the county town before leaving.

Although this was the hometown where he was born and raised, in Qianshui County now, most of his old friends had died or left, and there was almost no one he knew. It was not worth it for him to go down and revisit the old place.

Soon, Yu Lie arrived at the location of Heishui Town.

The first thing that caught his eye was still the iconic Black Water Cliff shrouded in heavy fog.

The cliff is towering and falls beside the Blackwater River. It is lonely and cold. The surrounding environment doesn’t seem to have changed much from the last time Yu Lie came here.

Yu Lie stood on the clouds and looked down, occasionally seeing brave Taoist children.

They walked down from the Black Water Cliff at night, and either sat by the river to fish or wandered through the jungle filled with lizards to practice hunting.

The roars of beasts and screams would suddenly sound in the night, and no one knew who would start the attack first.

Yu Lie looked at this scene and felt as if time had gone back to the past.

The scene when he was struggling to survive on the Black Water Cliff was not much different from the scene when this group of Taoist children were in front of him.

Yu Lie watched for a long time, and suddenly a voice penetrated the clouds and appeared in his ears:

"Aren't you tired after staring at me for so long? Come down, little brat."

This voice is exactly Heishuizi's voice.

Yu Lie turned his head and saw Heishuizi's figure on a stone house on the Heishui Cliff.

As soon as he saw it, Yu Lie was dazed for a moment.

Because the Heishuizi in front of him had taken off his chaotic Taoist robe, and he was wearing a tattered, gray-starched Taoist boy's robe, squatting on the roof like a tramp, drinking from a wine gourd.

This was exactly the look that Yu Lie wore when he was hanging out with him in Heishui Town.

Yu Lie smiled, nodded at the other party, and with a flash of his body, he flew down from the clouds and stood beside Heishuizi.

Hei Shuizi squinted at the red-lit streets in the town and said without raising his head:

"Finally you came to see me, old man. I thought you would be done with me after I scolded you."

Yu Lie bowed respectfully and replied, "Master, you are joking. How could Yu Lie dare to do such a stupid thing? It's just that I had some miscellaneous things to do in the past two days, so I'm late."

"Hey, Master."

Hearing this, Heishuizi looked at Yu Lie with eyes that looked like drunk fish bubbles, burped, and said to himself: "The title of Master is nice and pleasant to hear. I like it."

He stood up shakily, stretched, and yawned, "I haven't been the abbot for many years.

Come on, you haven't been here for decades, let me take you for a walk."

Yu Lie did not refuse and nodded in agreement.

When he was about to leave, he had a sudden thought, and in order to avoid attracting too much attention on the street, he made a hand gesture and mist surrounded him, and the Taoist robe he had worn before was draped over him.

Yu Lie put on all the clothes and jumped on the spot, and surprisingly found that they still fit him well.

Hei Shuizi looked back at Yu Lie and muttered, "You are still so young, it really makes people jealous."

Then, the old and the young walked on the streets of Heishui Town, which were somewhat different from what they remembered, chatting casually.

"Look, this town is much more prosperous than it was back then. There were only a few teahouses and taverns back then. Now they are all connected together, full of lights and wine, making people feel itchy when they see them.

If it had been like this back then, the town’s nightlife would have been much richer, and a lot of tax money could have been collected.”

Yu Lie walked past a stone tower and said in surprise:

"Hey, the tower is still there. I remember it was your residence back then. How come it hasn't been demolished in all these years?"

Hei Shuizi was dissatisfied: "What are you talking about! Haven't you seen the layout of the town? Most of the old things have been preserved intact?"

“It can be seen that the later abbot is a thoughtful person and does not despise the traces of my past.” The old man sighed.

Yu Lie nodded upon hearing this.

He now understood why Heishuizi wanted him to accompany him for a walk.

The two of them walked in the seemingly real town, and they had a strange feeling that time was passing by, but the past was still there.

In particular, he discovered that buildings in the town, such as the government-run pharmacies and government-run meditation rooms, were still in use today and looked exactly the same as before. Although they were mottled, it was obvious that they were being repaired and maintained from time to time.

This scene vaguely reveals a sense of humanity in the town, a feeling of cherishing the past.

"It's funny to say that when I was here, I almost died."

Yu Lie smiled and said to Hei Shuizi:

“Now that I’m revisiting the old place, I feel a warm feeling.”

Hei Shuizi said:

"Who says it's not? This place is also where I was trapped. It wasted countless of my ambitions. I wanted to get drunk every time and drown myself in the Black Water River."

When Heishuizi got excited, he clapped his hands and laughed, "I didn't expect that I would not only build my foundation again, but also form a pill.

In the end, he got really lucky and obtained a second-grade golden elixir, hahahaha, not bad!"

A relaxed smile also appeared on Yu Lie's face, and even the sorrow and depression he had been feeling in recent days because of the Great Heavenly Venerable were instantly dissipated.

An old man and a young boy were walking on the street as if no one was around, pointing here and there, like they were crazy.

There were a few Taoist boys wandering around in the town at night. When they saw the two of them, although they didn't see any powerful aura from them, they saw that they were behaving crazy and looked poor, so they all stayed away from them and didn't bother them.

But suddenly, as Yu Lie was laughing, his heart was shocked strangely. He suddenly stopped and did not move for a long time.

This made Heishuizi next to him look at him in confusion.

At this moment, an inexplicable impulse struck Yu Lie's heart. This feeling was very strange, as if one of his close relatives was in the town.
