The small airship headed all the way to the northern part of Zhongzhou. There was plenty of time left and right. Traveling in your own airship was more comfortable and safer.

Gu Shouye quickly told everything he knew about the situation. Headmaster Lu didn't elaborate on the situation with the young ancestor during the summons, so he probably knew that he knew the inside story.

Ancestor Canglan, a great master of void refining from Wangxian Sect who has lived for nearly 6,000 years.

Obviously, he has been obsessed with cultivation and has never cared about love affairs. He has never been a concubine, not to mention a concubine.

But fifty-five years ago, he suddenly went crazy for some unknown reason. Not only did he marry a mortal girl, but he also willingly claimed his cultivation level and part of his memory, and lived an ordinary life with that mortal girl in the small town of Jianghuai like a real mortal. .

This time, Gu Shouye and Jiang Tang went to Jianghuai to pick up the person who was the ancestor of Cang Lan.

Precisely because of Patriarch Canglan's status in the sect, not many people in the sect know about this matter. Even if some people don't understand and disagree with his approach, no one will talk too much about it.

The longer time goes by, the more this matter is forgotten intentionally or unintentionally. Uncle Grandmaster doesn't know how normal it is.

"His wife has expired?"

Jiang Tang calculated the time to pick her up. Even if Canglan Patriarch's wife was only fifteen or sixteen years old when she got married, she would still be at least seventy after fifty-five years.

In the mortal world of this world, seventy is definitely an advanced age, and the end of life is considered normal.

"I don't know. I heard that the one who agreed with the sect back then was for fifty-five years. After that, he not only sealed his own cultivation, but also sealed his memories related to the monks."

Gu Shouye explained: "So someone from the sect must come to pick him up and help him break the seal in time."

"..."

When Jiang Tang heard this, he was silent for a moment and said, "Is he stupid?"

Gu Shouye heard people say that Patriarch Canglan was stupid more than once, and he nodded in agreement: "Indeed, when I first heard that he had made such a decision, many powerful people in the sect said to his face that he was stupid, and It is said that his rebellion came so late, because he went from one extreme of ruthlessness to the other extreme of love and infatuation, and he wasted so many years of practice in vain."

Jiang Tang looked at Gu Shouye and retorted directly: "What I mean is that he went to the mortal world to marry a wife and have children, and he spent his whole life with his wife. Why did he have to seal his cultivation power and even his memory to be sealed and tampered with?"

Gu Shouye: "Monks cannot interfere too much in the affairs of the mortal world. This is also to avoid unnecessary karma, so they proclaim their cultivation and part of their memories and integrate into the mortal world as a pure mortal."

Jiang Tang: "He has gone to the mortal world to marry a wife and have children. What cause and effect could be greater and unnecessary than this? Entering the mortal world with a mortal body does not mean that he is really a mortal. The mortal world has changed so much in the past few decades. He Where does he have such confidence that he will be able to live peacefully until his wife dies? How can he have such confidence that he can protect his wife and children for decades? If there is any accident, he will die if he dies, but If his wife and children were implicated because of his incompetence, wouldn’t it be a tragic injustice?”

She is obviously capable, but she still wants to engage in such useless tricks. Cang Lan is either too conceited, or she simply doesn't care about his wife and children that much.

In the final analysis, no matter how to avoid it, since Canglan got married to that mortal woman, he has been contaminated by the greatest cause and effect as a monk, and even changed his wife's original fate.

Under such circumstances, it is even more important to work hard to make amends and find ways to make your wife prosperous, worry-free, happy, and have no regrets in her life.

To seal away his cultivation power, seal away his memory, cut off his greatest advantage, and become the most ordinary man in the world again, it is doomed that the chance of him and his lover growing old happily is very low.

So, does he really love her?

Isn't it purely to use someone to overcome love or comprehend the seven emotions and six desires?

"..."

Gu Shouye fell silent for a moment, speechless.

It seems that no one among them has thought about this. After all, although there are not many practices like Canglan's, they are not unique. Everyone seems to do this.

Perhaps because of the huge difference in status, no one has ever thought about anything from the perspective of a mortal couple.

"Are you sure that Cang Lan didn't do this to use others to overcome love tribulations or gain insights into the seven emotions and six desires?"

Jiang Tang asked again: "Are you sure that he really really likes this girl and wants to spend his whole life with her?"

Gu Shouye:......

What is he sure about? He is not sure about anything.

The more he listened to Uncle Grandmaster's words, the more Gu Shouye felt that things were really not that simple. Did Patriarch Canglan really have another purpose?

The so-called love and love is just a cover?

If it wasn't a pretense, if it was really just out of love, then what Cang Lan did seemed quite stupid.

"Maybe... the wife he married in the mortal world just wanted to live an ordinary life?"

Gu Shouye felt that what he said had no confidence, so he turned around and said: "Perhaps Senior Canglan has outstanding abilities. Even if he has no memory of cultivation, even if he is only a mortal, he has enough ability to protect his wife and children and accompany them throughout their lives. Happy and contented?"

"Then tell me, what is ordinary life?"

Jiang Tang directly gave the answer: "At least in my opinion, if these basic requirements are met, such as being wealthy, stable, having a loving husband and filial piety, and being free from illness and disaster, it can be considered an ordinary life. Otherwise, it can only be said to be a struggle to survive." After Lan changed his memory and became an ordinary person, he was alone with a stunningly beautiful woman. If he no longer has money, power or power, who do you think will be the first to be unlucky?"

"How do you know that his mortal wife is beautiful?"

Gu Shouye tried to retort: ​​"Perhaps Senior Canglan has arranged for him a reliable and powerful identity in the mortal world in advance?"

"She is extremely beautiful. How can a high-level power who has lived for five or six thousand years fall in love with an ordinary-looking mortal girl?"

Jiang Tang didn't even have to think about it: "Also, if we really arranged a reliable and powerful identity in advance, do you think it's been fifty-five years and we still need to go to Jianghuai Town to pick him up?"

In the fifty-five years, the sect will definitely not ignore Cang Lan, and will not interfere too much, but if Cang Lan's life is involved, it will definitely intervene.

This also means that the Wangxian Sect must have mastered their basic information. Lu Guiwu directly asked them to come to Jianghuai Town to pick up the person instead of moving to a new place, which naturally means that the person is now in Jianghuai.

After fifty-five years of hard work, it started in the small town of Jianghuai and ended in the small town of Jianghuai. If you think about it, you know that the life of Jiang Huai, a mortal, is not very promising.

Ninety-nine percent of people live in poverty or even misery, and there is only a small possibility of becoming wealthy and returning home.

Gu Shouye felt panicked for no reason, and the more he listened, the more he felt that Senior Canglan's move might be really embarrassing.

For a moment, he wished he could take the teleportation array and rush to Jiang Huai as soon as possible.

However, his little uncle was not in a hurry at all, so Gu Shouye could only wait patiently. …

More than half a month later, the two arrived at the small town of Jianghuai.

Long before they entered the mortal gathering area, they abandoned their flying boats and spent some money to buy two horses on their way.

Canglan's original pseudonym was Li Canglan. It was almost impossible to find anyone with the same name, so after a little inquiry, they were sure that the person they were looking for was indeed here and had been living here forever.

There are quite a few people who know Li Canglan. After all, there are only a handful of elderly people in their seventies in such a small town.

"Who are you from Old Man Li? I have never heard of any relatives in his family in all these years."

"Yes, Old Man Li lost his wife in his early years and his son in middle age. He never married again, and his life was very poor. You can see that the conditions are good. If he is really a relative, take him over and provide for him and take care of him. .”

"Old Man Li is a very nice person. He has been working as a teacher in a small town to support himself over the years. Later, when he got older, he could no longer teach. Many people in our town remembered his kindness and often helped to take care of him. But After all, my ability is limited and I can’t help much.”

……

Gu Shouye was immediately stunned by the neighbor who "lost his wife in his early years and his son in his middle age". After a moment, he quickly inquired about the specific situation and was extremely speechless when he learned the details.

It turned out that the ancestor Canglan, whose pseudonym was Li Canglan, had not prepared any reliable and powerful identity for himself in advance. Just fifty-five years ago, he suddenly took his newly married wife with him, on the pretext of an accident when he went to stay with his relatives. From then on he settled in Jianghuai Town.

No one knows their specific origins. They only know that Li Canglan has a small fortune, is good at literature and martial arts, and that his wife is extremely beautiful, and the relationship between the couple is extremely good.

Some people had secretly speculated that they might have extraordinary backgrounds and eloped for love. Others felt that this couple was too outstanding and did not look like they could be willing to live an ordinary life. Sooner or later they would have to break up.

However, the couple still took root safely in the small town of Jianghuai. Li Canglan directly opened a private school in the town, specializing in teaching children in the town to read and read.

His wife gave birth to a boy safely a year later, and the family of three lived quite happily.

It would be great if it could continue like this, but things are unpredictable. When the child was three years old, Li Canglan got into trouble for saving people.

The daughter of a high official who was rescued by him fell in love with Li Canglan at a glance and insisted on marrying Li Canglan.

Li Canglan had a wife and children, so they naturally refused, but they didn't want the other party to insist on taking her away. In less than three months, Li Canglan's wife was forced to death, and her three-year-old child was almost killed as well.

After being killed, the daughter of a high official was almost killed by Li Canglan, so he gave up his thoughts and fled back to the capital overnight.

Li Canglan lost his beloved wife, his family was ruined, and he went crazy overnight.

Fortunately, he still had the bond of his young son, so he gradually returned to normal, but otherwise his whole personality changed.

He disfigured his face with his own hands, and while guarding his wife's grave, he raised his children. Although he was taciturn, as the children grew up, his whole person slowly regained some vitality.

Unexpectedly, when the only child was sixteen years old, he fell ill again and became weaker and weaker day by day.

Li Canglan spent all his family wealth and tried his best to cure the child. It took three years, but the white-haired man finally sent the black-haired man away.

His wife and children were both dead, leaving Li Canglan alone. People in the town originally thought that he might not be able to survive, but they didn't want to leave the town directly after he buried his son beside his wife's grave.

This journey lasted five full years.

Five years later, Li Canglan returned to Jiang Huai and the home where he once lived with his wife and children. Since then, he has never left Jiang Huai again.

He did not remarry, nor did he adopt other children to continue his family life. He just kept guarding the graves of his wife and children, and grew old day by day in the small town of Jianghuai.

No one knows where Li Canglan went or what he did in those five years of absence, but Li Canglan, who returned to Jianghuai, has been living like an ascetic, unchanged for decades.

"Mom, this is so pitiful."

Gu Shouye didn't know whether it was Li Canglan who was more pitiful or his wife who was more pitiful. Anyway, thinking of what his uncle had said, he secretly vowed that he and his disciples would never do such a stupid thing in the future.

If both the left and the right miss Fan, and the left and right disturb Fan, then you must have enough means to protect yourself, otherwise this so-called love will directly become a murderous knife, which will cause great harm to others!

"It's indeed pitiful, but only for his wife and children."

Jiang Tang didn't sympathize with Li Canglan at all.

It would be fine if he was really just an ordinary mortal man, but he was not. One wrong decision brought disaster to this girl's life.

If you really like her so much, even if you are afraid that she will not be able to adapt to Wangxian Sect, you can still place your wife in Wangxian City and still be able to accompany her wholeheartedly throughout her life.

If your identity as a monk is exposed, you can't live a good life?

What kind of fallacy is this?

It's okay to take ten thousand steps back and hide your identity and live in the mortal world, but what do you do by sealing your cultivation and even your memory?

As long as you don't use magic randomly to disrupt the order of the world, you can make your wife and children live a better, smoother, more stable life within your ability. Isn't it good?

So what is the cause and effect of this concern?

Li Canglan's son's condition sounded a bit like it was caused by a defect in his spiritual roots. If his memory had not been sealed, his son would not have to die at all.

As for his wife, her death was even more unjust. After a little calculation, she knew that the other person's fate was not supposed to be like this.

Canglan really played the good cards in his hand to pieces and harmed others and himself.

The two arrived at the dilapidated courtyard where Li Canglan lived, and soon saw the old and decayed Li Canglan.

"Senior Canglan, it's time to return to the sect!"

Gu Shouye raised his hand and saluted the lifeless old man. At the same time, a faint light flew from his hand into the middle of the old man's eyebrows.

After a while, the old man's originally confused expression quickly changed.

Hesitation, shock, pain, grief and anger, regret...

The seal was lifted, all the missing memories returned, and all kinds of emotions were mixed together. Canglan returned to her original young and heroic appearance from an old age, and she almost fell to the ground.

"Excuse me, please wait. I want to pay homage to their mother and son for the last time."

Cang Lan calmed down, and after saying these words, she walked straight out of the courtyard.

"is it necessary?"

However, Jiang Tang suddenly stopped him: "Since I had the intention of taking advantage from the beginning, why should I be pretentious now? If they knew about it, they would probably not want to see you again."
