"It seems that I have said too much."
The old tree spirit said no more.
Li Yi, carrying a cloth bag, walked out of the cold water again, walking with steady steps on the blue star four thousand years later.
The tall buildings have long disappeared, and even the asphalt roads on the ground no longer exist, replaced by endless misty water villages.
The scenery is so beautiful, and many old friends have left for the west.
Li Yi is nostalgic. In fact, he still likes the small, dilapidated city in his memory, where there are busy traffic, vendors constantly coming and going, dense crowds, and the smell of rotten sewer water can be smelled from time to time.
But he also knows that the development of the times is inevitable, and he will not stop people from pursuing a better life.
The beauty of memory lies in the distance that cannot be returned.
After walking for hundreds of miles, we came to a small courtyard built on a spiritual vein.
Boom boom boom.
Li Yi knocked on the door symbolically, then pushed it open and a figure threw himself into his arms.
"Brother, my parents, they are going to die."
Li An's eyes were filled with tears. Without her saying anything, Li Yi could already feel the dead air emanating from the house.
He patted Li An's back and consoled him: "It's okay as long as you're here, brother."
"But they have already gone through the Five Decays of Age. The Taoist scriptures say that the Five Decays of Age is normal aging and is an incurable disease. Even if big brother can find an elixir to extend life, it can only extend their lifespan by a few hundred years at most."
"The Five Deteriorations of the Celestial Beings are very painful, so why not give my parents a quick death..."
Li Anxiao choked up while trying to persuade Li Yi, which made him laugh and cry. He asked, "You have already realized this, why are you still crying?"
"But...but I don't want to be without parents! Big brother, I don't want to be an orphan, wuwuwu..."
Li Anxiao cried even harder. Although she was well protected by her parents, she was not ignorant.
There are countless people with great supernatural powers, but only the Five Degenerations of Heaven and Man cannot be violated. Even if you have great abilities, you can't escape the cycle of life and death.
This is common sense in the world.
Li Anxiao also knew it, but knowing and being able to accept it are two different things.
"It's okay, it's okay." Li Yi paused, just patted the other person lightly to comfort him, and did not make any promises.
Just like when Li Lili came to him for help, even if she was his own sister, it was the same.
Because these are the lives of the parents, and the end should be decided by them, not anyone else.
However, Li Yi was certain that his parents had probably not lived long enough, and a big part of the reason was because of the little sister in his arms.
Li Yi is already independent, so his parents don't worry about him. But his younger sister is different, she still doesn't have the ability to be independent, so she can rely on him, but she still needs to worry about him.
The presence of family is the best elixir of life, but unfortunately Li Yi is the only one in the world who can make everyone in his family wish for immortality, and he is the only one who has the patience to raise his family step by step.
When I walked into the house, I saw two white-haired old men sitting on chairs in silence, as if they had been waiting for a long time.
"Mom, Dad, how do you feel?"
Li Yi sat down calmly. His mother sighed and shook her head. She reached out and hugged Li Anxiao, who was crying, with reluctance in her eyes.
His father was as calm as Li Yi, with more of the demeanor of a former head of the family.
He said, "Son, your mother and I probably don't have many years left to live. There are some things I want to tell you while I am still alive."
"I'll help you do that."
"You shouldn't be my worry. What I'm most worried about right now is Xiaoxiao. In your words, we are cultivators, but not cultivators in the traditional sense. We are cultivators who have never experienced intrigue and cruel fighting, and we are only able to practice Qi. Xiaoxiao is even more so. Can you take her in?"
"Xiaoxiao can live there, it's just an extra pair of chopsticks."
"The matter of the little god."
"I'll take care of it."
"If Xiaoxiao wants to get married in the future."
"You can only marry into the family."
Li Yi answered questions fluently and Li Xingguo was very satisfied. The tacit understanding between father and son was impeccable.
This is also why uncle Li Xinglong would doubt Li Yi, but he never doubted it. He knew his own son and there was no way he would make a mistake.
Li Xingguo exhaled slowly, his forced body hunched over, and his breath became even weaker.
"I feel relieved when you are here."
Li Yi turned his head to look at his mother and asked, "Mom, is there anything you need me to do?"
Mother Li shook her head, then she remembered something and held Li Yi's hands with both hands, her voice as gentle as she remembered when he was young.
"Mom just wants you to eat well, drink well, and be healthy. That's all. That's all."
"And Xiaoxiao, the same goes for you. Mom doesn't ask you to get married and have children. In fact, marriage may not be suitable for you. Just eat and drink well. After we leave, remember to listen to your brother no matter what. Your elder brother is like a father and you must not disobey him."
"mom……"
Li Anxiao started to cry again, and Li Yi discovered that his sister might be a ghost lover and was not as calm as he was.
A family of four was separated by life and death, and even Li Xingguo had tears in his eyes.
Li Yi blinked and said, "Mom and Dad, are you all done talking? Then it's my turn."
He opened the cloth bag and placed four longevity fruits on the table, introducing them one by one: "This one can extend your life by 1,000 years, this one can extend your life by 1,300 years, and the remaining two can extend your life by 2,000 years. Pick one and eat it, how long do you want to live?"
The scene was silent and the three heartbroken people looked confused.
Li Yi asked in confusion: "What? Don't you want to live?"
"...Turtle...son of a turtle!"
Li Xingguo's old face became more and more rosy, perhaps it was the effect of the longevity fruit. Just smelling it could slightly alleviate their five signs of decline.
