Li Nianfan bought two big carps from the fish owner, and then walked around Luoxian City with Daji, bought some daily necessities, and then left the city and set off on the way home.
On the way, Li Nianfan couldn't help but look up at the sky, revealing a worried look, "Little Daji, do you think there are really more thunder and lightning recently?"
Daji pondered for a moment and said, "It seems that there are indeed some changes, and it feels a little uneasy."
Li Nianfan's face became more worried. He couldn't help but think of when he was in Qingyun Valley, the sky also changed suddenly, and the thunder and lightning roared continuously, which was extremely terrifying.
And little Daji was also picked up by him because of the thunder and lightning.
It seems that there are indeed too many thunder and lightning in this world of cultivation.
Li Nianfan asked, "Do you think the lightning will strike our yard?"
Daji looked at Li Nianfan, then looked up at the sky, "I think... this should be impossible, right?"
"Don't be complacent. Mortals like us must be cautious when living in the world of immortal cultivation."
Li Nianfan shook his head, "We live in the mountains, and there are trees all around us. The possibility of becoming a target is still very high. I have to go back and think about it."
He frowned and began to think about countermeasures.
In fact, the method of dealing with lightning is very direct. The most effective one is naturally to use a lightning rod.
The key is the material used to make the lightning rod, which must be galvanized.
The process is not complicated. As long as more common metals are used and they are melted and integrated, it can still be made.
I still have a lighter at home, so I should be able to do it. No, I have to go back and buy some more metal props.
After planning everything, Li Nianfan couldn't help but speed up his pace. He had to hurry up to make the lightning rod. The sooner he finished, the sooner he could feel at ease.
Linxiandao Palace.
Qin Manyun and the four elders were all guarding outside a stone chamber, with worried looks on their faces.
"Wow!"
With a roar, the door of the stone chamber opened, and Yao Mengji walked out slowly from inside.
"Master!"
"Palace Master!"
Everyone's eyes lit up and they went to greet him.
However, when they saw Yao Mengji, they were all stunned, and the smiles on their faces were stiff.
Yao Mengji looked exhausted, with messy hair and sunken eyes, like an old man in his twilight years, weak and frail. He was no longer as energetic as before.
Qin Manyun's eyes immediately turned red, and she trembled and said, "Master, you..."
Yao Mengji waved his hand and said, "No need to say more, I'm afraid I don't have much time left."
"This, this..." Everyone was struck by lightning.
Zhou Dacheng frowned slightly and said quickly, "Old Yao, you can't say that! What are you doing? How can you say such a thing!"
Qin Manyun also said, "Yes, Master, haven't you passed the Dao Heart Interrogation?"
"Bad luck, bad luck!"
Yao Mengji shook his head with a wry smile, "The general situation in the world has changed. I had a feeling when I was going through the Dao Heart Interrogation that the power of my heavenly tribulation might be more than twice as strong as an ordinary heavenly tribulation! Double, how can I get through it?"
Everyone's pupils shrank slightly, and their hearts were all worried, "Double? How could this be?!"
They had no doubt that ordinary cultivators would have a sense of their own great crisis, and since Yao Mengji suddenly had the feeling during the Dao Heart Interrogation, it was probably correct.
"I was just wondering why God would do this!" Yao Mengji's eyes were filled with despair, and he cried out sadly, "I could have gotten through it, but this happened when I was about to pass the tribulation. I'm so miserable!"
Everyone opened their mouths, but didn't know where to start.
Double the power of the tribulation, just thinking about it makes people's scalps numb, how can they withstand it!
"Come on, come on. It's time and fate." Yao Mengji waved his hand and looked at Qin Manyun and said, "During the time I was in seclusion, how did you behave in front of the master? Did you not make the master angry?"
"How could we possibly make the master angry? But this time, too many things happened..."
Qin Manyun immediately suppressed her sadness and carefully recounted everything that happened during this period of time from beginning to end, just like telling a story.
At this time, Yao Mengji seemed to have become an ordinary old man, smiling, listening to the story, nodding or shaking his head from time to time.
When Qin Manyun finished telling the story, most of the day had passed.
Yao Mengji's expression also changed as Qin Manyun spoke. Sometimes he smiled and nodded with satisfaction, and sometimes he sighed slightly, filled with emotion.
When talking about the Liu family, his face darkened, "The Liu family actually dared to disrespect the master, they should be destroyed! It's a pity that I'm in seclusion, otherwise I would definitely take action myself!"
When he heard that the immortal had descended, he couldn't help but be shocked, "The world has really changed, my heavenly tribulation is probably related to this, I don't know what the future holds?"
When he heard that the master had given Qingyun Valley a painting, his eyes were full of envy, and he sighed, "This time Qingyun Valley has really gotten a big bargain, Gu Changqing must have laughed his face off."
Finally, he looked at Qin Manyun and praised, "Manyun, your progress during this period of time is very obvious, you can already understand most of the hints from the master, hahahaha, you are worthy of being my disciple."
"But... you don't understand some things deeply enough!"
Yao Mengji said to Qin Manyun, "Just as the master said, if you are poor, you should take care of yourself, and if you are rich, you should help the world. He is clearly reminding us! The implication is that as long as we do enough, he will not treat us unfairly! Just like Qingyun Valley, it is probably because they have made great contributions to guarding the entrance to the Demon Realm, and the master saw it and gave them the painting!"
Qin Manyun and others all showed a look of enlightenment, "Master is right! Disciple has learned a lot!"
"In this world, eating and drinking complement each other. Don't think that we can sit back and relax just because we have the support
of a master. We must work hard for the master! If we have the ability but still try to take care of ourselves, we will obviously be abandoned by the master!" Yao Mengji kept instructing everyone, as if he was making arrangements for his last wishes. "After I am gone, Linxian Dao Palace will rely on you. ! It happens that the world is undergoing a great change, so we should consider everything comprehensively! "
The four elders all showed sorrowful expressions on their faces, and said in unison: "Don't worry, Palace Master, we will do our best to ensure that the Linxiandao Palace will never be defeated!"
Qin Manyun looked at her master who had aged in an instant, bit her lip, and whispered: "Master, how about we ask for help from a master? He has great skills, so he must have a way."
"No, no!"
Yao Mengji shook his head without hesitation, "The master has helped us enough. Wouldn't it be disturbing the master's meditation if I do this? Even if the master is willing to help me, I am too embarrassed to accept it. If this makes the master dissatisfied, then I will be a sinner of Linxiandao Palace."
"You don't have to be sad. The life and death of monks like me cannot be decided by ourselves. But before I leave, I have to see the master for the last time and say goodbye in person!"
