Ten years later. [Piaotia Literature www.piaotia.net No pop-up novel website] Yanjing.
Zhang Yunyang and He Ni were like ordinary people in the courtyard house of Yanjing, talking about interesting things about Zhang Shanhai's childhood.
"I remember that time, I was really scared. I have never seen a child fall asleep and not wake up." He Ni said.
"Me too. Our son is too smart, he is so young, and he keeps holding a book. People in Zhangjiashan say that our son is a Wenqu star descended to earth." Zhang Yunyang said.
Although Zhang Yunyang and He Ni are both monks, they are also the parents of a child. To them, Zhang Shanhai will always be just a son, not an immortal. They wait in this courtyard house every day, hoping to be the first to see them when Zhang Shanhai comes back.
"Ten years." He Ni couldn't help but say something that the two of them had tried to avoid in the past ten years.
"Grandpa, grandma, we are back." Zhang Anyi returned home with a beautiful girl. In ten years, Zhang Anyi has already been in his twenties. If it weren't for his parents never coming back, he would have turned the beautiful girl into a child's mother.
"An Yi, Tongtong, you are back!" He Ni came out to greet them.
Zhang Anyi smelled the aroma wafting from the kitchen and inhaled it with his nose. "It smells so good. It seems that grandpa has prepared delicious food for us again."
"It's the weekend. I knew you would come back, and your grandpa brought back a lot of delicious food." He Ni said.
"I'm going to help grandpa in the kitchen." Tongtong said.
He Ni held Tongtong back, "Tongtong. The dishes are almost ready. You sit with grandma for a while. Grandma wants to tell you something."
Tongtong glanced at the kitchen and sat next to He Ni.
He Ni stopped Zhang Anyi at the same time, "Anyi, come and sit down too. Grandma wants to tell you something."
"What's the matter? Grandma, are you so serious?" Zhang Anyi said.
He Ni said, "An Yi, your parents have been away for so many years, and you don't know when they will come back. The universe is so big, they are afraid they will have to travel around the entire universe. Although we can afford to wait, the Tongtong family can't I can¡¯t afford to wait. You and Tongtong have been waiting for so many years. It¡¯s no big deal if you keep delaying it. What your grandfather and I mean is to settle your matters. Anyway, your parents won¡¯t have any objections. Besides, , when they come back, they can hold a grandson directly, which will definitely be a big surprise."
"Grandma, don't worry, An Yi and I have a very good relationship. It doesn't matter whether we get married or not. I think it's better to wait for my uncle and aunt to come back. This way, I feel more at ease." Zhao Tongtong said.
"Tongtong is the most sensible. But we can't treat you badly. I think we should get married first. An Yi. What do you think?" He Ni asked.
"Of course I listen to my grandparents." Zhang Anyi said.
"Okay, let's follow our old Chinese custom and get things done before the Chinese New Year today. Even if your parents are not at home, your grandparents will make your wedding grander. What about your parents? I have always regretted not having a wedding that time. So when it comes time for you to get married, your grandparents really need to organize it well," He Ni said.
"Grandma, how did you hold the wedding when you and grandpa got married?" Zhang Anyi asked.
Zhao Tongtong is also very interested.
"At that time. How can we talk so much? Your grandfather didn't have much in the house at that time. The house was built after we got married. So on the day of the wedding, I bought some wedding candies, and then invited a few relatives and friends to have a meal. , go to the commune and get a red book, and you are considered married. People at that time came here like that. Unlike today, when young people get married, it is like making a movie." He Ni said.
"Grandma, how about we just do something simple? My parents haven't come back. You two old people, don't worry too much." Zhao Tongtong said.
"You silly girl, how old do you think your grandparents are?" Zhang Anyi said with a smile.
Zhao Tongtong couldn¡¯t help but smile. Zhang Yunyang and He Ni indeed looked young, even though they were already in their seventies. If they weren't dressed like middle-aged people, they would look like a newlywed couple. She looks much younger than Zhao Tongtong's parents.
After Zhao Tongtong and Zhang Anyi fell in love, the Zhao family entered the circle of the Zhang family and naturally received some benefits belonging to the Zhang family. It was only after establishing a relationship with Zhang Anyi that the Zhao family knew that there was a family of immortal cultivators like the Zhang family in this world. Although Zhao Tongtong's parents also started practicing at that time, they practiced relatively late. Although they had made some progress under the effect of the elixir provided by the Zhang family, they naturally could not compete with Zhang Yunyang.Compared with He Ni, Zhang Shanhai had put in a lot of effort to train Zhang Yunyang and He Ni.
On the twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month in 2022, the Zhang family held a grand wedding for the son of the Zhang family at the Yanjing Hotel. The Zhang family has always kept a low profile, and it is difficult for ordinary people to know of the existence of the Zhang family. However, many high-level officials in Yanjing and the world of immortality know the situation of the Zhang family very well. Some of the Zhang family's industries have unknowingly become the backbone of the country. So a seemingly ordinary wedding attracted a lot of attention. All the top officials of China came out to attend this grand wedding.
On the big day, Zhang Anyi was in a very happy mood, but he always looked around doubtfully. Zhao Tongtong knows what her lover is thinking. Although Zhang Anyi doesn't talk about his parents much on weekdays, in fact, he has always missed his parents deeply and most hopes that his parents can appear on his big day.
Zhao Tongtong hugged Zhang Anyi's arm tightly and pressed her pretty face against Zhang Anyi's arm.
"A piece of sandalwood is carved into a jade saddle. The newlyweds step forward and ensure safety at every step. The newlyweds go to the stage and stand facing the guests, salute and thank relatives and friends for coming! Men bow to each other, and women are blessed!"
The wedding went smoothly and soon it was time for the parents to appear. He Ni was about to get up and light the red candles on behalf of Li Kexin and Zhao Tongtong's mother. But when she got up, she still glanced at the door. She always hoped that her son and daughter-in-law would suddenly appear at this time to make the Zhang family's happy event even more joyful. The mother is worried when her son travels thousands of miles. Zhang Shanhai and Li Kexin have been away for ten years. Why don't you give He Ni a try?
He Ni turned her head and glanced at the door of the hall, and then turned back out of habit. But at that glance, she seemed to see a man and a woman walking in at the door. It seemsit seems to be Zhang Shanhai and He Ni. Could it be that I saw it wrong?
He Ni quickly turned around and looked over. The two people were Zhang Shanhai and He Ni. She saw it right. He Ni pulled Zhang Yunyang with her hand, "Yunyang, Yunyang, who do you think is here?"
"Old woman, it's your turn!" Zhang Yunyang said, looking in the direction of He Ni's finger, and then stopped mid-sentence.
Sensing the movement of his grandparents, Zhang Anyi, who had just focused all his attention on the bride, finally noticed the change in the atmosphere on the field. When he looked up, wasn't that the person he had been longing for day and night?
"Dad! Mom!" Zhang Anyi couldn't help shouting with joy, making everyone turn their eyes.
"Tongtong, come with me. Parents are back!" Zhang Anyi said.
Seeing the new situation, the officiant temporarily stopped the wedding. The emcee is a famous host invited from the TV station, so he certainly has good taste. Although he didn't know this house, it seemed like it was full of guests. Knowing that this family is not simple, it is natural to understand why Taili specially arranged for himself to be the host of this wedding.
Zhang Shanhai and Li Kexin came over. Li Kexin hugged her son tightly, "An Yi, I miss my mother so much! Do you know that in the past ten years, my mother has not missed you every day. It's a pity that I can't talk on the phone."
"Mom. I thought you and dad had forgotten my grandparents and me!" Zhang Anyi said.
"Silly boy, how could this happen? This girl is our daughter-in-law, right? My son has really good taste." Li Kexin was so happy when she saw Zhao Tongtong, she let go of Zhang Anyi and took Zhao Tongtong's hand.
"Mom." Zhao Tongtong called out shyly.
Zhang Shanhai patted Zhang Anyi on the shoulder. "grown up!"
"Have they all come back, crazy uncle?" Zhang Anyi said.
"They are all back. They will be here in a moment." Zhang Shanhai said.
Zhang Shanhai patted Li Kexin and said, "Kexin, don't hold on to Tongtong and let them hold the wedding!"
Li Kexin nodded.
After the hall became quiet for a while, the master of ceremonies hurriedly walked out and said, "Please invite the parents of both parties to come on stage, and the mothers of both parties will light the dragon and phoenix candles. The worship ceremony has officially begun!"
He Ni smiled and said, "Kexin, you came in time. It's your turn now. It's not appropriate for me, a grandmother, to go."
Li Kexin and Zhang Shanhai just sat down and then stood up again.
"According to our national tradition, heaven and earth are as big as heaven and earth. When a couple meets and falls in love in the vast sea of ??people, it must be said that it is a fate given by God. Please turn around and face the gods of heaven and earth. Kneel down! Kneel down, newlyweds. Kowtow once, kowtow again, and kowtow three times. Get up. Kowtow twice to the high hall, kowtow once to thank your parents for their kindness in giving birth, kowtow twice to thank your parents for their nurturing love, and kowtow three times to wish your parents longevity and health! Husband and wife bow to each other, bow once to share weal and woe, and second bow to love. A hundred years later, three times of prayer, more children and more blessings!" the master of ceremonies read loudly.
After returning home and waiting for Zhang Anyi¡¯s wedding to be over, a few days later, Zhang Shanhai and He Ni told their families one by one about their experiences in the past ten years.
The past ten years of space travel have been truly thrilling. On the Haiyun planet that day, they forced the four great masters of the Luoyun Empire to exert their best efforts, and Zhang Shanhai almost failed to survive. After the four people formed a formation, their strength actually surpassed Zhang Shanhai's. If Zhang Shanhai's fighting style was not very different from that of Haiyunxing's monks, Zhang Shanhai would be in big trouble this time. Of course, Zhang Shanhai still had to use a trick to escape, but he didn't use the secret space technique. This was one of the most fundamental reasons why Zhang Shanhai dared to challenge the difficult level.
In the end, Zhang Shanhai used his strongest attack and narrowly defeated the four masters of Luoyun. After Zhang Shanhai won, he let go of the four masters of Luoyun and quickly left Haiyun Planet to continue his interstellar travel.
The gap between Earth's technology and those advanced alien civilizations is really too big. In order to collect a complete set of scientific and technological information that can quickly improve Earth's technology, Zhang Shanhai needs to spend a long time everywhere he goes. In addition, we also collected some supplies. Zhang Shanhai's fleet slowly grew from a single spaceship at the beginning, and within ten years, it developed into a space caravan. The reason is that as Zhang Shanhai's cultivation level improves, the refining space becomes larger and larger, so he can exchange various materials among various interstellar civilizations. Eventually a caravan slowly formed. The required scientific and technological information can also be obtained through legal means.
When we finally arrived at the Daxia Empire, we found that this country was indeed more developed than it was hundreds of years ago. Xia Yiran, the original owner of the Dream spaceship, had long been forgotten by the Daxia Empire. However, Zhang Shanhai, who had Xia Yiran's memory, was still able to get familiar with the Daxia Empire, and without much effort, he obtained the entire Daxia Empire technology that Zhang Sanhai was most interested in.
Although the Great Xia Empire perfectly combines technology and immortality cultivation, the cultivation level of their monks can only be upgraded to the Dan Bao stage. The genetic technology of the Daxia Empire made the humans of the Daxia Empire practice extremely quickly, but it limited their development, and even the disadvantages of genetic technology continued to show up in future generations. Human science and technology has developed to such an extreme, but it is still unable to completely decipher all the secrets of nature. This made Zhang Shanhai feel a little emotional.
The universe is infinite, but human power is finite. Zhang Shanhai did not continue his cosmic journey, but after sorting everything out, he began to return.
What is the purpose of cultivating Taoism? Technology for what? The ultimate goal of both is to exhaust the secrets of nature. But just like this, there will never be an end to cultivation, there will never be any limit to technology, and humans will never be able to see the last veil of nature.
So what is the most important? Zhang Shanhai knew he had found the answer.
On the beautiful blue planet of the Milky Way, there is all meaning.
The streets are bustling with people, but everyone is pursuing their own meaning of existence.
"The road is unfavorable, so many people are playing on swings; they pretend to be hidden in a few words, and call them wise with a little effort. The clouds come and go, the fog is not steady, and they are hanging day and night; they only talk about coaxing others and coaxing themselves, who is willing to repent and seek the truth? .¡±
??In the Caiyun Mountains, loud singing has been hovering in the mountains for a long time.
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ªComplete the book¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
It¡¯s really shameful to go fishing and I have to make a decision. I know that many brothers see this because of the inertia in the front. I am really grateful to the brothers who have been silently supporting fishing along the way.
But when I write about fishing here, I really can¡¯t describe the feeling I had at the beginning. I really can't bear the pressure if I keep going. Writing something tasteless feels like defrauding everyone of their money. After all, there are paid chapters later.
"The Life of the Yin Master" left a huge regret.
After finishing this book, fishing needs to take a good rest for a while, and then the new ideas will take shape. But nothing has been finalized yet.
The new book must learn from the lessons of this book, and it will definitely be saved before it is published. "Master Yin's Life" suffers greatly from not being able to save manuscripts. As a result, some plots were not thought through clearly and were written just to rush the manuscript, which ultimately disrupted the entire story layout. And there is simply no way to remedy it.
See you in June, maybe June, if you still have expectations for fishing.
Thank you, thank you to the brothers and sisters who have supported fishing all the way! I am really ashamed of myself for not being able to satisfy my brothers and sisters. Thank you!
