Ancient Thunder Dragon Spell

The door was ajar, and on a familiar stone bench in the courtyard sat a familiar figure. However, that figure also became more and more hunched, as if it couldn't bear the weight of time.    

    

"You're back?" When Lei Yang slowly walked into the courtyard, the silent Lei Zhennan suddenly asked in a calm and benevolent tone. He did not turn around, as if he had already known that Lei Yang would return.    

    

"Yes Father, Yang'er has returned." Lei Yang replied softly, looking at Lei Zhennan's back, his eyes revealed a gentle light, but suddenly realized that because of the years that he had been gone for, he originally had too many things he wanted to say, but at this time, he did not know what to say, or where to start.    

    

Lei Yang walked over gently and sat down on a stone chair beside his father. After that, he quieted down, not knowing what else to say.    

    

The night in the courtyard was very quiet. Even from far away, one could still vaguely hear the clamor of noise coming from the Sun Moon Plaza, located in the center of the Lei Family Garden.    

    

After a long while, Lei Yang broke the silence in the courtyard, and said with a low voice: "Father, your child is useless. I was unable to find mother, and brought her back to your side."    

    

After Lei Zhennan heard this, he no longer blamed himself as he used to before and immediately answered Lei Yang's questions. Instead, his entire person seemed to be extremely calm, as if he had already seen through the world's origin for over ten years in this courtyard. It made him look incomparably calm in the face of everything.    

    

After hearing what was said, he turned around a long time ago, and said to Lei Yang with a calm gaze. "Child, everything in this world can't escape one's destiny, so you can't force yourself to do anything. Your mother has her destiny, so you don't have to blame yourself too much.    

    

Since you left, I haven't left this small courtyard for more than ten years. Because I miss you too much, mother and son, my whole person is immersed in the memories of the past, and for this reason, even my own life flame has become dim.    

    

I didn't fear death, but I knew that I couldn't die yet. Later, I came to understand that something had blinded my eyes and I couldn't see through it.    

    

In the end, I realized that I had always been self-restraint and self-torture. I had to learn to let go of everything in my heart in order to get me out of that predicament. Life will inevitably have all sorts of circumstances, when the self cannot change the facts, must learn to face and accept that reality.    

    

Just as the disappearance of your mother and your departure was an unchangeable fact for me, there were times when it was hard to accept, but you had to accept it, and then you had to try to make yourself calm. "    

    

Lei Zhennan slowly spoke a long string, but Lei Yang did not understand a few words. He only felt that his father's words contained some kind of mysterious meaning, but he did not understand. However, as long as his father could see through something and maintain his vigorous life force, it would be a great thing for him.    

    

"Yes, I understand!" Lei Yang nodded his head silently. Sometimes, when relatives lie to one another, the effect would be better, and there was no need to be too sincere.    

    

"Good, good, good! Yang'er, in a short ten years, not only have you broken through the Core Formation, you have also become an elder of the Floating Cloud Pavilion.    

    

I do not wish for you to shine for me, I only wish for you to live a good life, so no matter how far you go in the future, I only hope that you can protect yourself properly. Do you remember? " Lei Zhennan said again.    

    

"Dad, Yang'er will remember this!" Lei Yang nodded and replied. Lei Yang understood that even though his father Lei Zhennan did not say it directly, he was definitely able to guess that he had experienced all of the dangers and tribulations of the outside world.    

    

Even though the father and son pair had said so much, Lei Yang still felt that the conversation between them was really raw. It was as if due to the passage of time, that originally mellow and deep sense of kinship had also gradually become thinner and thinner.    

    

However, Lei Yang believed that his father could not be such a person. Perhaps it was because he had already comprehended some of the essentials, which was why he had become the current calm state he was in.    

    

This was because with such a peaceful state of mind, it would be more beneficial for him to maintain his exuberant vitality. Being able to exist for an eternity in this world was exactly what Lei Yang hoped for in his heart.    

    

The night passed in the blink of an eye. At daybreak, Lei Zhennan entered into a meditative state, and then, afraid that he would be disturbed, Lei Yang quietly left.    

    

Lei Yang walked all the way out of the Lei Family, until he reached the Wuyuan Town, but the entire way there seemed to be extremely quiet, because it was as if the entire Wuyuan Town had entered a state of hibernation after last night's party.    

    

However, this kind of wild celebration still lasted for three days and three nights. Therefore, Lei Yang frowned and muttered to himself: "Looks like I still have to find a secluded place to hide for a few days."    

    

As he spoke, he flashed on the spot and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.    

    

It was only four days later that Lei Yang finally returned to the Thunder Sect, and everything here had already returned to normal. However, the moment he finished washing up, he was surrounded by a large group of Thunder Sect disciples, whose eyes were filled with respect and respect, telling him about the things that had happened outside.    

    

Although Lei Tong and he did not have the title of master and disciple, they had a Master and disciple relationship since long ago. Lei Yang's arrival made Lei Tong extremely happy, and he welcomed him from afar.    

    

The Pill Dao was constructed in the west side of the Thunder Sect, surrounded by a few small hills, in the middle of which there was an open area.    

    

Many pill rooms for disciples were built on the surrounding hills. The areas were divided meticulously, but there were no buildings on the flat land in the center. There was only an ancient looking eight story tower that was entirely gray.    

    

"Pill Pavilion, did you move the Pill Pavilion over as well?" The moment he saw the tower, Lei Yang could not help but ask.    

    

"Haha, you must have been deceived! Let me tell you, this is not the real Pill Pavilion. Back then, even when the Sect Master personally acted, he was unable to move it over. In order to make the Pill Dao line prosper, in the end, they could only imitate the Pill Pavilion and build a new one here! " Lei Tong explained with a laugh.    

    

"Oh, I see!" Lei Yang nodded and replied after he understood.    

    

The two of them walked towards a grand palace at the peak of a small hill to the west. Lei Yang guessed that it should be Lei Tong's residence, but when they reached the entrance of the palace, a crazy one-armed old man suddenly rushed out.    

    

He rushed over and grabbed Lei Yang's arm, raising a finger to make a shushing motion with his mouth, then said softly, "Dan Shen! I saw him, don't say anything! He's here, he really is here! I saw him!"    

    

This old man was none other than Pill Pavilion Elder Lei Yunzi back then. Because of the incident where the patriarch cured the poison in his body back then, he was still in a daze and had gone insane.    

    

"Master, the Pill God came yesterday. He has already left today, so you don't have to be afraid of him!" Lei Tong said gently to Lei Yunzi as if he was coaxing a child.    

    

Lei Yunzi immediately threw away Lei Yang's arm and hugged Lei Tong: "Really? Has the Pill God really left? That damned fellow finally left. Hahahaha, this old man's world!"    

    

Lei Yunzi said incoherently, then started laughing loudly. After that, he jumped and ran away like a child, Lei Tong smiled and indicated for Lei Yang to enter the palace with his hand, but the depths of his eyes hid an unspeakable pain.    

    

Lei Yang had seen all of this, although Lei Yunzi was crazy, his clothes were neat and tidy, he was not sloppy at all, obviously Lei Tong had taken good care of him, for him to have such a disciple, could also be considered to be his good fortune, Lei Yang thought in his heart.    

    

When the two of them entered the great hall, they happily chatted without restraint. In front of Lei Tong, Lei Yang truly had no qualms at all, and told him everything he had experienced in the outside world with glee. When Lei Tong heard this, he repeatedly wondered what it meant for him, and lamented his inferiority, especially when he heard that Lei Yang had actually become friends with Qin Shi, who had transcended heavenly tribulation, the envy in his eyes was already indescribable.    

    

It was only until ten in the evening that Lei Tong finally sent Lei Yang off reluctantly. He stood at the entrance of the great hall and looked at Lei Yang's figure which was getting further and further away, and suddenly realized that this young man, who was once looked down upon by the entire family, had now grown to a height that was difficult even for him to reach.    

    

Before Lei Yang left, he had left behind the words that after he had dealt with important matters, he would personally refine a medicinal pellet which would clear his mind for Lei Yunzi. He hoped to be able to redeem the dignity of the once Pill Pavilion Elder, Lei Yunzi, and this made Lei Tong feel extremely warm in his heart.
