Under One Person, the little witch only wants to collect elves

Chapter 263 Feng Tiansheng's soul returns to heaven and earth, Liu Yanyan rebels against the Liu family

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Yan Huan returned to the secret realm of Liangshan.

The scenery here is still desolate, far away from the hustle and bustle of the world. Everything seems to be normal in the secret realm, but it lacks people and is particularly quiet.

Feng Tiansheng was still wearing the worn sheepskin jacket. He sat in a corner of the courtyard, mashing garlic vigorously, preparing to eat it with the dog meat at hand.

He murmured to himself: "It's already the second year of Chinese New Year. I have to go back to my mother's house on behalf of the Yan family..."

At this time, the Liangshan Secret Realm was deserted and even the sound of firecrackers from outside could only be heard faintly, and there was a faint loneliness in the air.

Feng Tiansheng sighed helplessly, looked down at the mashed garlic and dog meat in his hands, and found it really boring.

He put down his bowl and chopsticks, slowly stood up, brushed the dust off his clothes, and decided to go out for a walk to relax.

As soon as he opened the gate, he saw two children sneaking away from the corner, obviously doing something naughty and didn't want to be discovered.

"You bastard!" Feng Tiansheng cursed with a smile and shook his head.

He put his hands behind his back and walked slowly towards the skull at the entrance of the mountain, intending to see the scenery outside and kill some boring time.

Just as he got out of the low wall, he suddenly saw a dazzling golden light flash across the sky.

The light streaked across the sky above the secret realm like a meteor, and in a flash, Yan Huan emerged from the light.

"Where are you going, Grandpa?"

Feng Tiansheng was delighted when he saw Yan Huan coming back. "It's really boring to think about it. Let's go out for a walk and get some fresh air."

He smiled and said, "What about you? Are you done with your work? Didn't you say you would come back immediately? You've wasted so much time, you must have run into trouble, right?"

Yan Huan shook his head and said lightly: "Yes, there are a lot of things, but they are not a big problem. They have been solved."

He paused, his eyes fell on Feng Tiansheng, his expression suddenly a little puzzled, "But you, Grandpa..."

Feng Tiansheng's complexion was more rosy than before, the thick yin energy that was wrapped around his body disappeared, and he seemed to be much more energetic, as if he had regained vitality.

"Grandpa, have you really figured it out?"

Feng Tiansheng nodded, his voice calm and relaxed, with a hint of relief in it, "I'm not afraid of worrying about things. It's good this way, when my body is buried in the earth, these things will be buried with it."

"The talent pool in Liangshan is dwindling, and those with ability have gone out to develop their careers. With the burden of life weighing on them, they probably won't even remember it."

"Alas, after all these years, torturing the evil spirits and torturing myself, I finally have to wait for the day when I can let go. Suddenly, I feel like nothing matters anymore."

Feng Tiansheng sighed and said with a smile: "Xiao Huan, my time is coming to an end."

Yan Huan listened to Feng Tiansheng's words without saying much, but said lightly: "Grandpa, I'm back. It's the second day of the Lunar New Year. Why don't we go back and finish lunch first?"

Feng Tiansheng nodded and smiled, patted Yan Huan on the shoulder, and the two returned to the low wall made of rubble. Ganshan was deserted and lonely, but the bustling atmosphere in the courtyard brought a bit of warmth.

There wasn’t much food on the table, and Yan Huan and Feng Tiansheng didn’t eat much either. They spent more time chatting.

The two did not mention the Jiashen Rebellion, nor did they mention the grudges and hatreds behind the past. Feng Tiansheng was like an ordinary elder, caring about the Yan family's recent situation and asking about Yan Huan's experiences and hardships over the years.

Yan Huan hid nothing and recounted every detail of what had happened over the years.

Especially regarding the collection process of the Five Elements Essence, the old man listened very carefully, nodded from time to time, with a gleam of satisfaction in his eyes.

Xiao Yunyi's dream has now been continued and realized in Yan Huan. To Feng Tiansheng, this is already a blessing enough.

The two talked from noon until the sun set, and the faint light of the setting sun shone through the mist of the Liangshan Secret Realm and fell into the yard.

As the setting sun sank behind the mountain, Feng Tiansheng's voice gradually became lower. It seemed that as time went by, his strength was slowly fading away.

The pot of tea on the table had already been finished. Feng Tiansheng was talking until his mouth was dry, but his passion was still surging in his heart.

"That's it. The knot in his heart was resolved before he died. He has no obsessions, and he didn't die with his eyes open. People who are over a hundred years old have lived enough. It's a happy funeral."

The afterglow of the sky sprinkled on Feng Tiansheng's body. His eyes gradually became cloudy, and his words became more sparse and weak. His hands gently rested on the table. He looked up at Yan Huan, and a hint of peaceful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The sunlight gradually dimmed, Feng Tiansheng slowly closed his eyes, his breathing became extremely light, as if he wanted to merge with the heaven and earth.

Yan Huan looked at him without much emotion on her face, but she reached out and gently straightened his collar.

Then, Yan Huan stood up, holding the Ten Thousand Souls Banner tightly in his hand. He raised the banner and shouted in a deep voice, "Go and clear the way for the old man's ghost!"

Ghosts from the Ten Thousand Souls Banner poured out like a tide, turning into pitch-black smoke that rolled and swirled in the air, as if dark clouds were covering the sky. Gradually, the black mist formed a curtain and rolled into a vortex that reached the sky, and the sky and the earth were suddenly filled with a chilly and eerie air.

Feng Tiansheng's soul rose slowly from his body and floated towards the sky under the guidance of the ghost in the banner. The soul turned into a faint light, passed through the end of the darkness, and gradually returned to the sky and earth.

Yan Huan stood quietly there, watching Feng Tiansheng's soul go away, until the last ray of light completely dissipated into the boundless night sky, and the ghost city "Deblomo" returned to silence again.

There was another grave in the valley of the mountain.

"The valley is low-lying and prone to water accumulation. I'm living in a sea view room with a large family! Master, if you said you didn't hold a grudge before, I wouldn't believe you."

Yan Huan slowly raised the center of the valley, changing the terrain so that the tombs would not be submerged.

After settling everything, Yan Huan returned to the small house surrounded by a low wall and sorted out his grandfather's belongings.

At this time, the words "Hit Deblomo's head, hit Deblomo's head..." were heard again outside the low wall.

After a while, a bloody chicken with its back beaten was hung on the wall.

After a long time, seeing no response from inside the courtyard wall, a little boy poked his head out and lay down on the edge of the stone wall.

"Where did that old man go?" The boy asked Yan Huan when he didn't see Feng Tiansheng.

"died."

"Ah... When did this happen?" The boy covered his mouth in extreme surprise and was so scared that he almost rolled off the low wall.

"I really cursed him to death. Mom will be very happy when she finds out, because he killed her grandmother..." The boy scratched his head, unable to describe the feeling in his heart.

He pointed to the chicken on the wall and said, "No one eats this chicken."

"Just take it back. You beat it to death anyway. You can clean the rotten meat on its back and make some chicken soup with it." Yan Huan replied.

The boy picked up the dead chicken hanging on the wall, pouted, and left in confusion.

Yan Huan watched the boy walk away, then snapped his fingers. All kinds of strange plants sealed the hut, with vines and thorns covering the ground.

After seeing the grandfather off, Yan Huan climbed to the highest point of the mountain. It was pitch black all around and he couldn't see anything clearly.

Whoosh!

A flash of red flame flashed across the mountain, and then faded into the night.

······
Liu's family in western Hunan, inside the lobby.

"Since you have too high expectations of me, you should give me the freedom I deserve. Am I not the only heir to the secret teachings of Xiangxi?"

"If that's the case, why do you have to stick to your old ways? You're so stubborn! Too stubborn!"

With tears in her eyes, Liu Yanyan shouted angrily at the old man sitting on the armchair, with a hint of crying in her voice.

The head of the Liu family rubbed his forehead helplessly, "The overall environment has changed. There are indeed some things that cannot be done. I have pushed you a little too hard these days. So just take a few days off."

Liu Yanyan threw her hands in anger, "Grandpa, you don't know what I want at all. I really don't know what the point of practicing these is now. What girl wants to deal with the dead every day!"

"Kung Fu is so difficult to practice, and even if you master it, it won't be very useful. Our Xiangxi Liu family has long been in decline, right?"

As soon as the words came out, they hit the pain point of the head of the Liu family.

"We are respecting the system and order."

"Then the inheritance deserves to be cut off..." After Liu Yanyan finished speaking, she immediately realized that she had said something wrong. Without waiting for any explanation, she slapped him in the face.

She was stunned for a moment, covering her painful and hot cheek, looking at her grandfather in disbelief, shook her head, turned around and ran out.

"Idiots! They are all a bunch of idiots! Everyone in this family is a bunch of hopeless idiots!"

"I don't want to live up to other people's expectations. I want to be myself and live out my own life!"

The head of the Liu family suddenly stood up and chased after her, but as soon as he left the mansion, Liu Yanyan disappeared.

"Don't do anything stupid, little girl. Your elder brother Quansheng went to Changbai Mountain to refine corpses, but he was eaten by ghosts and he couldn't even save his soul!"
