Chapter 53: Return to the Human World
Li Ye parted ways with everyone else. Everyone went to their respective Zhenhun Streets to take up their posts, while Li Ye returned to the human world.
There is a corresponding entrance to Zhenhun Street in the human world, and there is a passage entrance to Chang'an Street in Chang'an in the human world. The location is not fixed, and the spirit host can open it on his own.
In addition, the general chain can be connected to the corresponding Zhenhun Street. Zhenhun generals can connect to their own Zhenhun Street in the human world through the general chain.
There are also people with special spatial abilities, such as Genma, who can enter various places at will.
Li Ye can go to Chang'an Street first and then go to Chang'an through the space channel of Chang'an Street.
But Li Ye hadn't been to the human world for a long time, and he wanted to see it.
Li Ye returned to the human world through the space node at the border of the Dead Soul Island sea area.
But it appeared on a small island in the East China Sea on earth.
"I'm really speechless. How did we end up on such a small island?"
Li Ye was thinking about how to return to Chang'an.
This is the seaside. Although he doesn't know that this is the East China Sea, Chang'an is inland in the northwest, and no matter which sea it is, it is very far away.
And how to get to the coast from the island is also a problem. What if I display some supernatural power and get seen?
Just when Li Ye was in a dilemma, a yacht stopped in Li Ye's sight. A group of people in suits and ties got off the yacht. Although Li Ye did not know them, an inexplicable intuition told him that these people were looking for him and had no ill intentions.
Li Ye just stood there without moving. An old man with gray hair, wearing a Tang suit and looking energetic came up to Li Ye and asked in an excited voice: "But Master Li Ye?" His voice even trembled a little.
"My name is indeed Li Ye, but I don't know if I am your young master." Li Ye answered calmly and unhurriedly.
"Did the young master come out from the Island of Dead Souls?" he continued to ask in a slightly trembling voice.
"That's right, I just came back from the border of the Dead Soul Island. I was teleported here." Li Ye said seriously, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.
"That's right, it's definitely right. You must be the young master of our Chang'an Li family. Your father is Li Mu, the guard of Chang'an Street in the previous generation. Today, I am following the orders of our master Li He, your grandfather, to take you home." The old man spoke with excitement that could not be concealed.
"Okay, anyway, I just want to go back to Chang'an to see my grandfather." Li Ye agreed readily.
Along the way, the old man told Li Ye a lot of things.
He just asked Li Ye to call him Uncle Fu. He was the steward of the Li family and also a spirit host. He had followed Li Ye's grandfather Li He since he was a teenager.
The Li family is a thousand-year-old family with enormous influence in both the underworld and the human world. For generations, they have managed the northwest with Chang'an Street as the core.
……
Li Ye was sitting on the Li family's private plane, looking at the ever-changing scenery outside the window, feeling a little emotional. He had been in this world for more than ten years, and it had been three years since he awakened his memories of his past life. After many years, he was on a plane again.
The three years on the Island of Dead Souls really seemed like a lifetime ago!
After getting off the plane, Li Ye got into the car again.
The vehicle drove into a valley.
An ancient house is located at the foot of a verdant mountain, surrounded by lush old trees, as if guarding this mysterious building. The exterior of the ancient house is a typical Tang Dynasty style, with red walls, black tiles, and eaves, giving people a solemn and elegant feeling. A copper plaque is hung on the gate, engraved with the two big characters "Li Mansion", with vigorous strokes, exuding an ancient atmosphere.
Walking into the ancient house, you will see an exquisite stone screen wall with auspicious patterns and poems with profound meanings. Behind the screen wall is a deep courtyard, where various precious flowers and trees are planted, such as magnolia, crabapple, osmanthus, etc., which are fragrant all year round and refreshing. In the middle of the courtyard is an ancient pavilion with stone tables and stone benches for people to rest and enjoy the scenery. There are some bonsai and strange stones around the pavilion, with different shapes and interesting shapes.
The interior decoration of the ancient house is also very exquisite. The furniture and furnishings are all in the style of the Tang Dynasty, meticulously carved and magnificent. There are some ancient paintings and calligraphy works hanging on the walls, showing the owner's cultural heritage and artistic taste.
The whole ancient house gives people a feeling of tranquility, solemnity, elegance, long history and profound heritage, as if walking into a world where history and reality are intertwined. Here, people can feel the profound heritage of traditional culture and the wisdom and ingenuity of the ancients.
In the pavilion in the middle of the courtyard, there sat an old man with white hair and a youthful face, full of energy. He was wearing a simple and elegant Tang suit. His eyes were closed, but they were occasionally frowned, as if he was thinking about something.
Hearing the footsteps, the respected current head of the Li family and the Chang'an Street Soul-Suppressing General of the previous generation opened his eyes. His eyes were full of depth and wisdom, like the sky and the sea, sometimes cloudless and calm, and sometimes with thunder and lightning and raging waves. It seemed to be condensed with an indescribable infinite power that made people dare not look directly at him.
Seeing this old man, some of Li Ye's forgotten memories gradually came back to him. He had seen him when he was a child, and they were often together, but the awakened memories were much larger, which dispersed the few memories from his childhood and gradually sealed them away.
"Ye'er, my dear grandson, come here quickly and let grandpa take a good look at you." Li He's face was full of amiable smiles. At this moment, he was not the head of the Li family or the soul-suppressing general of Chang'an Street, but just an ordinary grandfather.
Li Ye was also infected by the emotions. He walked quickly towards the old man, then threw himself into the old man's arms, sobbing softly. In the past three years, his father died in front of him, and he grew up alone on the Island of Dead Souls for three years, accumulating a lot of grievances and sadness.
In front of his companions, due to his status as the boss, he is always calm and composed, always in control of everything, and never shows his vulnerable side in front of them.
The old man gently patted Li Ye's back with one hand and gently stroked Li Ye's head with the other hand, as if he was comforting a child.
"Cry, cry, if you've been wronged, just cry if you're sad. Men don't shed tears easily, they just haven't been too sad. But after you've cried, you have to continue to be strong and walk your own way."
"Of course the men of my Li family must stand tall and proud!"
Not long after, Li Ye calmed down and stood up in front of Li He.
"This time I asked the master to bring you a message. There is something important for you to tell me."
After that, he took out a general's chain from his waist, handed it to Li Ye, and said:
"This is the general's chain of Chang'an Street. Keep it well. It was originally on your father. After your father passed away, it came back to me. Now I give it to you. You must take on the responsibility of protecting Chang'an Street!"
"Our Li family has been passed down for thousands of years. We have a long history, profound heritage, deep roots, and huge power. In the entire northwest region, our Li family has the final say, especially near Chang'an Street. I know you will definitely need the Soul-Suppressing Generals of the Four Passes and Eight Towns, so I prepared them for you in advance."
"No matter what you want to do, your grandfather and I, as well as the entire Li family, will support you without hesitation."
"Grandpa, I am the Martial God Body!"
"Martial God Body, huh? What? You are Martial God Body?!" Li He looked shocked.
Then, he reacted and said, "That is to say, you possess both the strongest human martial spirit and martial god body! Haha, God bless the Li family, this destiny is in your hands, in my Li family! Haha..."
After laughing, he stared at Li Ye with burning eyes and said seriously: "So, what is your goal?"
Li Ye looked into those deep eyes and said solemnly and seriously: "I will overthrow the spirits, dominate the underworld, and become the supreme being!"
Li He took a deep breath and said, "Okay! Okay! Okay! My Li family will fully support your ambition to be the emperor!"
