Ming Dynasty: A hundred-year-old immortal cultivator, Zhu Yuanzhang’s biological father

Chapter 19 Chongba, your father is here to find you!
Fifty years ago, he climbed out of the coffin, and the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain took him back for healing.

He didn't remember anything at that time, so the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain named him Zhang Changye.

The surname Zhang is the surname of the master of Longhu Mountain.

And the long night is because he crawled out of the dark night.

Zhang Changye would have become his new name.

But at that time, he had been holding on to the jade pendant with the word "zhu" and told Master Longhushan that the jade pendant was very important to him.

The Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain saw the word "Zhu" on the jade pendant, so he named it Zhu Changye.

"Just let it accompany you for me."

Zhu Changye placed the jade pendant with the word "Zhu" in the middle of the coffin. In an instant, golden aura surged out, as if the coffin was wrapped in gold, and the jade pendant passed through the thick rosewood of the coffin and landed firmly inside the coffin.

The moment the jade pendant penetrated, all the golden aura disappeared.

The jade pendant with the word "Zhu" is placed here, while he himself keeps the jade pendant with the word "Chen".

Zhu Changye glanced at the coffin one more time, then turned and walked outside.

At this time, a gust of wind blew, causing Zhu Changye to take a step back.

Zhu Changye's eyes flickered.

Looking back, his eyes were stunned for a moment.

Dimly, he seemed to see the wife who had worked hard all her life, dressed as a peasant girl, with the same face as when she got married, full of girlish spirit, looking at him with a smile.

He waved towards him and opened his lips slightly.

This scene seems to be back to the time before Jonghachi and the others were born, when he went out to farm day after day.

Before leaving home, his wife would stand at the door and say something to him.

"Shizhen, be careful on the road."

The messages he left when he was young overlapped with those he left when he was old. The young Zhu Changye and the current Zhu Changye also turned around in unison and said softly "Yeah".

He turned around and walked away again, only this time in a better mood.

All the credit is due to the deceased wife Chen Changle.

However, is this really the case?
There is no resurrection of the dead in this world, it is just a fantasy of the living.

Perhaps, Zhu Changye is still imagining that the former fool and the former wife are still... still by his side.

The past day and night interactions and the entrustment of death made the relationship between them deeper than anything else.

He seemed unwilling to admit the death of that person.

….….….….….….
After staying at Changle Tomb for an hour, Zhu Changye did not return to Yingtian Mansion after leaving.

After finally visiting his old place, he wanted to visit Zhujiacun while it was still early.

Zhujiacun.

The streets were a little deserted, but there were still some vendors selling goods.

Zhu Changye walked into the village.

Except for the location, everything here is different from what I remembered.

But it is more prosperous than before.

"Staff, please order some sesame cakes."

Zhu Changye came to the vendor and shouted.

"okay!"

The vendor smiled in response.

Make the sesame cakes and hand them to Zhu Changye.

Zhu Changye paid the money and asked with a smile: "Shopkeeper, I have a question, where is the Zhujiacun ancestral hall?"

He wanted to visit the Zhujiacun Ancestral Hall.

Because of his age, most of the people he once knew were lying in the ancestral hall.

"Zhujiacun?"

The hawker was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but said: "Sir, what is Zhujia Village? Are you in the wrong place? This is Qinjia Village."

Qinjia Village?
Zhu Changye was stunned.

Before he could react, an older man walked over and asked, "Are you a relative of the former Zhujiacun villagers?" Zhu Changye was silent for a while, then nodded.

Seeing this, the old man sighed and said: "The former villagers of Zhujia Village are all dead. They were all killed by Yuanting soldiers."

"Originally, this land was going to be abandoned, but I don't know why. It was very important to the imperial court. The imperial court even sent high-ranking officials to move some people here to live."

"This place has begun to prosper, but it has nothing to do with the Zhujia Village before. The people living here are now the Qin family."

"You are looking for the Zhu Family Ancestral Hall to worship your great-grandfather and the others, right? Damn, there's nothing we can do about it. Back then, Zhujia Village was killed by Yuanting soldiers, and no whole corpses were left. I heard... some were even killed. Yuanting soldiers have become solid food."

When Zhu Changye heard this, the joy in his brows about revisiting his old place dimmed again: "I see, thank you for clearing up the confusion."

The old man waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "It's nothing. I'm the only one who knows about this when I'm older. The young people in Qinjia Village don't know that there used to be a Zhujia Village here."

"Seeing as you are about the same age as me, old man, I will be buried soon. If you come too late, maybe no one will be able to answer your questions."

"By the way, how old are you this year...huh?!"

The old man was still talking, but found that there was no one where Zhu Changye was standing.

"What about others?"

The old man said suspiciously.

The vendor scratched his head: "I don't know, he was here just now."

"What a weird thing."
.
…….….….….….
Ying Tianfu.

Imperial City, Kunning Palace.

Queen Ma hasn't woken up yet, but Zhu Yuanzhang is accompanying her, sitting on a chair and falling asleep with his head on her quilt.

He fell asleep, but at this time he was sweating a little. His eyes moved from time to time and were closed tightly, as if he was having some nightmare.

"Huh? Where is this?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was slightly stunned.

A second ago, he was accompanying Queen Ma and seemed to be asleep. Why was he suddenly in a strange environment now?

The surroundings were dark and lightless, and there were wisps of smoke flashing beneath my feet.

"Who on earth is pretending to be a ghost again?"

"Come out, we are not afraid of you!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly.

And the next moment.

A bright light flickered not far away.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked over carefully and found someone approaching with a lantern.

"Who are you? Did you create this hellish place for us? Do you know that this is a capital crime?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily.

The person over there didn't speak, but as he walked in, his voice came intermittently.

"Chongba, Chongba, Chongba..."

These two words were the only words left in his mouth.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes narrowed, but he quickly became stunned because the voice sounded like a person, someone he had longed for.

When the man came close enough to see his face clearly, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't hold himself any longer.

"Mother, mother! It's you!!"

His eyes widened and he ran over.

The visitor held a lantern and said with a smile: "Chongba, I haven't seen you in a few years. You are already so big."

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were moist: "Mom... I miss you."

The visitor gently smoothed Zhu Yuanzhang's white hair: "Mom misses you too, and misses your father too."

"Your father has arrived at Yingtian Mansion, did you know?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned.

The visitor continued: "Your father looks so lonely and sad."

"Mom can't worry about him, and she can't go see him. Your dad is stupid and can't take care of himself. Remember to help mom take care of him."
