Chen Luo did not go in. He stood in mid-air, looking at the haggard old man lying on the sickbed in the yard. From his brows, he could vaguely see what he looked like when he was young.
The original scene came to his mind.
He Min, wearing training clothes, stood opposite him with one hand stretched forward. The morning sun shone on her face, her hair fluttering in the breeze, and she looked confident and outspoken.
"He Min, please teach me, Senior Brother!"
The voice of that heroic junior sister is still ringing in my ears. Chen Luo, who was new to martial arts, almost beat her to death with one punch. Now thinking back, it all seems to have happened yesterday. The scolding of Master Ma Quezi is still echoing in my ears.
Time is ruthless.
When they met again, he was already old, with black hair turning white, and time was like a knife. He Min now probably didn't remember him. The illness she had developed from practicing martial arts when she was young was now taking its toll on her. She didn't have much time left, and she was a little demented. She collapsed on the bed and couldn't take care of herself. She stared at the ceiling with her cloudy eyes, mumbling to herself.
"Grandma is talking about her immortal senior brother again."
"There is no such thing as an immortal senior brother. I think grandma is clearly senile and has dementia."
Two young men entered the room and saw He Min lying on the bed talking to herself, and couldn't help but sigh. These two young men are He Min's grandchildren.
The He family is now many times bigger than it was before. It is impossible for He Min, who has practiced martial arts, to marry someone else, so she chose to find a son-in-law. In the impression of these children and grandchildren, He Min has been strong all her life. It's a pity that she can't resist lifespan. People will eventually grow old.
"Hurry up and clean it up. If our father sees us at night, he will scold us for being unfilial."
"Really? Can't we just ask some servants to do this? Why do we have to do it ourselves? Will grandma still remember us now?" The two young men complained while cleaning the house. They were very dissatisfied with the tasks assigned to them by their father.
Chen Luo hid in mid-air, looking at the three people below.
He didn't fly down and appear in the room until the two young men cleaned up the room and left.
For Chen Luo, in the entire He family, only Junior Sister He has some relationship with him. There is no need to care about other people, and he doesn't want to know these people.
Chen Luo walked to the bedside, looked at He Min who was mumbling to herself, and listened quietly for a while.
"Brother, it would be great if you were an ordinary person."
"You don't even remember me, right? I didn't eat any of the elixirs you gave me. Why would an ordinary person like me eat these things?"
"If there is an afterlife, I will definitely beat you"
The demented He Min kept repeating these few sentences over and over again. These were the things she had been repeating all her life.
'The life span has come.'
Chen Luo stood beside the bed and suddenly felt something in his heart. The control of the heaven and earth energy by the Jindan cultivators was extraordinary. The changes in ordinary people were clear to him at a glance. If he wanted, he could even see the trajectory of a person's life. As long as there was no external interference, these people's lives would be exactly the same as he predicted, and there would be no changes.
A ray of spiritual light gathered at his fingertips. Chen Luo stretched out his hand and pointed at He Min's forehead.
He didn't want this old friend to die silently, so he used his spiritual power to extend He Min's life for three days. He borrowed these three days with the Borrowing Life Gu. He Min was just an ordinary person, and his bones could only bear so much life, and three days was the limit.
Borrowing Life Gu is not the Longevity Gu. If you don't have enough life, you can't keep it even if you borrow it.
The spiritual power entered her body, like a clear spring, quickly washing away the old man's aura around He Min. Her body and mind seemed to come alive again at this moment, and her demented brain became clear again. The wrinkles on her face retreated in an incredible way, and her shriveled and hunched body regained vitality.
The turbid eyes became clear, and even the dry and white hair turned black in an incredible way.
Reverse your lifespan and return to your peak.
When He Min woke up, the first thing he saw was Chen Luo.
"Brother?"
He Min was shocked and thought he was dreaming. More than 80 years had passed, but his brother was still the same as he remembered. There was no change at all. It seemed as if time had no effect on him.
This is the immortal, immortal and untainted by the dust of the world.
A trace of inferiority flashed through He Min's heart. Was he really qualified to call such a person his senior brother?
"Junior Sister He, long time no see."
Chen Luo smiled and reached out to press on He Min's head, instantly eliminating the alienation between the two. Seeing He Min again gave Chen Luo a feeling of returning to yesterday. The two seemed to have returned to the courtyard of Master Ma Quezi again, when they were practicing martial arts.
"Brother, am I dead?"
He Min looked around and found that it was her room. Her last memory stayed on the sickbed. In her opinion, only if she died would she become like this now and see her senior brother who had become a "god".
"No."
Chen Luo understood what He Min was thinking, so he briefly told her about her current situation.
Borrowing life to extend life
He Min was confused, but she understood the general situation. Her senior brother used the "immortal magic" to pull her back from the brink of death and gave her three days to "return to life".
"If there is anything unfinished, do it."
Chen Luo said that he borrowed three days of life for He Min so that she could leave without any regrets.
"I see. Thank you, brother."
He Min took a deep breath, and her eyes became firm again. She opened the door and walked out, revealing the demeanor of a master who had practiced martial arts for a lifetime.
He Min worked very hard, and it took her a lifetime to reach the level that Chen Luo had reached at that time.
It’s a pity that she has no spiritual roots and cannot enter the Tao.
"Someone come!"
He Min walked out of the yard, and the aura of a martial arts master spread, his voice as loud as a bell.
Several servants who had just finished cleaning the room heard the sound and looked over. The two young men who had walked away earlier also turned back.
"Patriarch?!"
"grandmother?!!"
The group of people were so frightened that their souls almost flew out of their bodies.
They couldn't understand how the patriarch who was dying just now suddenly became younger. Not only that, his strength also returned. The aura of a master was released undisguisedly, making it almost impossible for these people to breathe. One of them even slapped himself hard, suspecting that he was hallucinating.
"Notify all the tribesmen to return within two days. I have something to tell you."
He Min ignored their reactions and walked towards the main hall at a brisk pace. In addition to family matters, she also had to meet some people. Three days was very tight. It was not until she left that the people in the yard reacted. The two young men were so scared that they trembled. They only wondered if their grandmother had heard what they had said in the room before.
Chen Luo glanced at He Min's disappearing back and flew away from the He family.
Compared with the Junior Sister He in memory, the current He Min is more domineering. More than eighty years are enough to change a person. Everyone has different life experiences, and the personalities they develop in the end will also be different.
Time will change a person.
After leaving the He family, Chen Luo went to Chenjia Village again.
The ancestral home of the old Chen family was still the same as in memory. The old man who was lying in the doorway basking in the sun was no longer there, and the third uncle no longer sat at the entrance of the village. Chen Luo was suspended in the air, and his spiritual sense swept the entire Chenjia Village, but he did not see a single familiar face.
There are more elderly people in the village. They are repeating what the previous generation did. They are also basking in the sun at the doorstep and reminiscing about the past.
Chen Luo didn't know any of these people.
He flew down and walked into the ancestral hall. After Chen Luo became an immortal, it had a great impact on Chenjia Village. The biggest change was that this branch of their family moved out. His parents went to the capital to become officials, and his younger sister and brother no longer had to live the hard life that Chen Luo had experienced when he was a child.
The tribesmen who liked prosperity moved away with that branch, and only some old people and people like Uncle San stayed.
There are several more memorial tablets in the ancestral hall.
Chen Luo looked around and soon found several new memorial tablets in the bottom row. He found the old man and his third uncle on them.
Uncle San never waited for him after all.
Standing in front of the hall, Chen Luo paused for a long time, then took out a stick of bamboo incense, lit it, and respectfully offered it to them.
Looking at the spirit tablet above, Chen Luo seemed to recall the days when his third uncle taught him how to bury corpses, and the words of the past were still echoing in his ears.
"When Uncle San makes some money, I'll ask the matchmaker to find you a wife. She must have a big butt so she can bear children easily."
"Your father is too stingy. Don't learn from him. You will have no future!"
'The Chen family has only one son for three generations, how come there is such a loser as your father? All of us were picked up by the old man. That year there was a severe drought, and people died everywhere. We didn't even know who our parents were. It was the old man who picked us up and gave us names. From that day on, I was called Chen Dahe. The old man said that I was picked up by the river, and this name is easy to remember.'
'The world outside is not as beautiful as you think. Uncle San has something to say to you.'
'Only by living can there be a future.'
There is a special profession in the Yue State Tomb, the burial person.
Chen Luo didn't understand it before, but now he understands. Yue State is a country on a large tomb. The tomb qi has a profound impact on this country, and the most direct impact is the corpse qi.
If the dead are not buried using the 'corpse burial' method, they will mutate within three days.
The stories about zombies sucking blood and old corpses killing people that were spread in the mountain villages outside were not groundless, but true. Why did the status of the immortal cultivators in Yue Kingdom be so high? It was because only immortal masters could handle such things.
The higher you stand, the more truth you see.
"Who are you."
The old man who was dozing off at the door discovered Chen Luo in the ancestral hall. Chen Luo did not hide himself when burning incense.
If he came back and found his uncle still acting secretively, then all his efforts in cultivating as an immortal would have been in vain.
"The Chen family."
"Oh, you are the one from the city." The old man suddenly realized and thought he had guessed Chen Luo's identity.
"You know how to come back and take a look, which is better than many people. Young people who don't forget their roots have a future. You will definitely achieve more than me in the future."
Chen Luo did not explain, just greeted the old man and then turned and left.
He planned to visit his third uncle's grave.
Uncle San has been a burial man all his life, so who buried his own body?
After walking out of the ancestral hall, Chen Luo took a step forward, as if shrinking the distance into an inch, and reached the outside of the courtyard in one step. When he stepped again, he was already at the entrance of the village. When he took the third step, his figure completely disappeared.
The old man who was talking to Chen Luo at the door was stunned for a moment, then rubbed his eyes, and finally exclaimed.
"Oh my god! What a ghost." (End of this chapter)
