"Master, Ah Xi understands." Zhou Xi's attitude of admitting his mistake was very sincere, so sincere that General Zhou couldn't bear to blame him anymore.
However, Zhou Yuanyuan is different. No matter how pitiful Zhou Xi looks, Zhou Yuanyuan will still say what needs to be said.
"Grandpa Xi, birth, old age, sickness and death are the normal state of life. The art of soul-changing is against the will of heaven. This kind of thing that goes against the laws of nature is not allowed by heaven. Most people who take over other people's bodies do not have a good end." Zhou Yuanyuan told Zhou Xi in detail what she had learned from Xiaoyu.
The Heavenly Dao has its own set of rules to constrain its subjects. When a cultivator seizes a body, they can only take a body whose spirit has just dissipated. If, like Ling Xiaotian, they seize the body of a living person, even if Zhou Yuanyuan and Wen Ziqing don't deal with him, when Ling Xiaotian advances, the Heavenly Dao's tribulation lightning will shatter him into ash.
"Those who swap souls always have a bad end?" Zhou Xi's face turned pale after hearing this.
Zhou Xi wanted to exchange his body with General Zhou, hoping that General Zhou could live on in his place. If the soul exchange would harm General Zhou, then what would be the point of exchanging it?
"Yes, Grandpa Xi, do you know what happened to the person who stole He Jingjing's body?" In order to prevent Zhou Xi from trusting people blindly in the future, Zhou Yuanyuan specifically highlighted Ling Xiaotian's end.
Zhou Xi didn't say anything, but the look in his eyes showed his curiosity about the matter.
"He's dead and turned into ashes." Zhou Yuanyuan said in a profound manner.
Zhou Xi's face was filled with shock, but he was more moved in his heart.
"He Jingjing" was fine before, but she died last night just because she "tricked" him? Zhou Xi really didn't believe that this was not the work of Zhou Yuanyuan.
"Grandpa Xi, my great-grandfather saved countless people from danger throughout his life. God has remembered his merits! If you ask him to change his body, all his merits will fly away." Zhou Yuanyuan began to fool Zhou Xi from a metaphysical perspective again.
Before Zhou Yuanyuan began practicing Taoism, she didn't believe in concepts like numerology and metaphysics. Afterward, she read more books on Hongqiao Bridge, and with Xiaoyu constantly nagging her, she now believed in them about 70% to 80%.
According to Xiaoyu, General Zhou, a man of great merit, was most likely an immortal who had descended to the mortal world to undergo trials and tribulations. The day General Zhou departed from this mortal world might be the day his merits were fulfilled and he returned to his immortal state.
Zhou Xi's soul-changing method extended General Zhou's life in this life, but it may have destroyed General Zhou's experience in this life.
Although Zhou Yuanyuan thought Xiaoyu's words were too "superstitious", she actually hoped that what Xiaoyu said was true. Her great-grandfather might become her golden thigh in the future. Hehehe... Zhou Yuanyuan was excited just thinking about it.
After Zhou Yuanyuan's deception, Zhou Xi finally felt relieved.
In Zhou Xi's heart, General Zhou has always been like an immortal.
Yes, what the young lady said should be true. Her master has been smarter than ordinary people since he was a child, and his life experiences have been more ups and downs than those of ordinary people.
The master must be an immortal who has descended to the earth. Otherwise, the servant boy beside him has started to practice Taoism. There is no reason why his master would not be as good as his servant boy.
"Hahaha... Xiaoguai, you can talk. The old man is an immortal who has descended to the earth? Then all the old friends around the old man are immortals!" General Zhou was also amused by Zhou Yuanyuan's imaginative remarks.
Even the saying of immortals going through tribulations has come out. Even if his little girl doesn't cultivate herself into an immortal, she will surely become a huge star if she becomes a screenwriter or something.
General Zhou didn't believe it, but General Zhou's die-hard fan Zhou Xi believed Zhou Yuanyuan's words completely.
After comforting Zhou Xi, Zhou Yuanyuan and Wen Ziqing helped General Zhou to sit in the rooftop garden.
Zhou Yuanyuan has been taking care of the rooftop garden of General Zhou's house for the past two years.
Zhou Yuanyuan has spiritual energy, so taking care of flowers and plants is extremely easy for her.
Every ten days or so, Zhou Yuanyuan waters the flowers and trees with water imbued with spiritual energy. This spiritual water, "made" by Zhou Yuanyuan herself, makes the flowers and trees flourish and bloom much longer.
It was late autumn, and in the rooftop garden of the Zhou family, roses were in bud and about to bloom, and golden chrysanthemums were in full bloom, exuding fragrance.
The air in the rooftop garden is also fresher than other places, which has a nourishing effect on General Zhou's body.
Starting from last month, General Zhou would take time out every day to sit for half an hour in the rooftop garden as requested by Zhou Yuanyuan.
After General Zhou sat down, Wen Ziqing went to prepare tea and snacks.
General Zhou liked tea, while Zhou Yuanyuan liked snacks. Wen Ziqing's own hobby was watching Zhou Yuanyuan eat.
"Ziqing is a really good kid." Looking at Wen Ziqing's back, General Zhou sighed.
"Not bad." Zhou Yuanyuan generously accepted General Zhou's praise.
"My dear! Your Ziqing's wedding will be held next week. What do you think?" After Wen Ziqing left, General Zhou suddenly asked Zhou Yuanyuan.
"Next week?" Zhou Yuanyuan was a little surprised. It wasn't that Zhou Yuanyuan didn't want to marry Wen Ziqing, but Zhou Yuanyuan remembered General Zhou saying that he would wait until she turned twenty before arranging a wedding for her and Wen Ziqing. Wasn't that still a year away?
"Xiaoguai, Grandpa Zeng's health can only last for half a month at most." General Zhou said with a wry smile.
Over the past few days, General Zhou had sensed the exact time of his death. It might sound a bit mysterious, but General Zhou could feel it clearly.
Therefore, General Zhou wanted to arrange the marriage of Zhou Yuanyuan and Zhou Jiasheng while he was still alive.
"Great-grandfather?" Zhou Yuanyuan was startled. Although Zhou Yuanyuan's words were very reasonable when she admonished Zhou Xi, when it came to her own turn, Zhou Yuanyuan's mind told her to accept the fact that General Zhou was about to leave this world, but she couldn't accept it emotionally.
"Xiaoguai, after Great-grandfather passes away, the Zhou family will be entrusted to you and Ziqing. People in our family don't seek wealth and honor, we only want a stable life. Xiaoguai, are you willing to protect this family on behalf of Great-grandfather?" General Zhou patted the back of Zhou Yuanyuan's hand and said kindly.
Zhou Yuanyuan knew that General Zhou was leaving his last words.
"Grandpa Zeng, I will." Zhou Yuanyuan nodded, her voice choked.
Even if General Zhou didn't say it, Zhou Yuanyuan would protect the Zhou family. These people in the Zhou family were not only General Zhou's relatives, but also her, Zhou Yuanyuan's relatives!
"Xiaoguai, you only need to protect them for fifty years. After fifty years, if there is no descendant in our family who can take over the responsibility of protecting the entire Zhou family, there will be nothing worth protecting in this family." General Zhou sighed and said.
