Chapter 1131 God’s Will
Xiao Xixi asked Yue Gang about Xuanjizi.
Yue Gang sighed deeply, and his expression became more gloomy.
"Mr. Xuan is dying."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xixi and Chu Jian both changed their expressions.
Xiao Xixi hurriedly asked: "What happened to Master?"
Yue Gang opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but because his level of Dasheng Mandarin was very limited, he could only speak some simple Dasheng language and was unable to express the whole story completely and clearly.
Finally, he could only say with a sad face.
"Come with me, I'll take you to see Mr. Xuan."
The group came to the tallest bamboo building in the center of the village.
Yue Gang knocked on the door, and after getting permission, he gently pushed the door open and walked in.
Xiao Xixi and Chu Jian followed closely behind.
This house was originally where King Nanyue lived.
It was here that Xiao Xixi first met King Nanyue.
However, in just over two years, everything has changed.
The house is still the same house, but the person who originally lived here is no longer alive.
Before Xiao Xixi had time to feel sad, she saw Xuanjizi lying on the bed.
When she saw Xuanjizi's appearance clearly, she couldn't help but be stunned.
At this time, Xuanjizi not only had white hair and beard and a face full of wrinkles, but he was also so thin that he was just skin and bones. His cheeks and eye sockets were deeply sunken, and his limbs were skinny. He looked like a dried corpse, without any vitality that a living person should have.
If Xiao Xixi hadn't seen his chest still rising and falling slightly, she would have almost thought he was dead.
Xiao Xixi looked at Xuanjizi in disbelief and called out in a trembling voice.
"Master..."
Chu Jian's reaction was not much better than Xiao Xixi's.
He stood there in a daze, unable to believe that the dying old man in front of him was actually his free and easy master.
When Xuanjizi heard the voice, he turned his head and saw his two disciples standing not far away. He was slightly stunned, then showed a helpless expression, and his voice was low and weak.
"You guys are here after all."
Yue Gang knew that they had a lot to talk about between master and disciple, so he tactfully withdrew quietly.
Xiao Xixi rushed over, grabbed Xuanjizi's hand tightly, and asked with red eyes.
"Master, what's wrong with you? Why are you like this? What happened?"
Chu Jian also looked at his master with red eyes.
Xuanjizi looked at the two disciples in front of him and laughed softly.
"You look like two little rabbits with red eyes."
Chu Jian wiped his eyes, but ended up making them even redder, and tears began to fall uncontrollably.
He choked up and said, "It's already this hour, and you're still in the mood to joke?!"
Xuanjizi: "Don't cry, you are a boy, men don't shed tears easily, do you know that?"
Chu Jian: “Woo woo woo!”
Xuanjizi couldn't do anything about him, he could only sigh: "I don't know who you inherited this temper from, your parents obviously don't like to cry."
Xiao Xixi didn't let him change the subject and asked again.
"What happened? Why did you become like this?"
Xuanjizi: "I encountered some problems, some accidents, and it turned out like this."
Xiao Xixi glared at him with red eyes and shouted angrily, "Do you have to let me tell you the truth on the spot?!"
Xuanjizi took a breath and said, "Speak softly, you are almost making my ears deaf."
Xiao Xixi urged: "Tell the truth quickly, what is going on?"
Xuanjizi knew he couldn't hide it, so he had to tell the truth.
"I ran into an old friend and had some issues with him. We had a fight and I lost, and that's how it turned out."
Xiao Xixi asked: "What old friend?"
Before Xuanjizi could answer, Xiao Xixi had already reacted and blurted out the answer.
"Is it Kong Zen?!"
Xuanjizi did not answer, but just smiled bitterly.
This is equivalent to default.
Chu Jian wiped his tears and said bitterly: "Why is it that bastard again? Why isn't he dead yet?!"
Xuanjizi looked at him with a complicated expression, as if he had something to say to him, but in the end he said nothing.
Xiao Xixi still had some doubts: "I have fought with Kong Chan before. With Kong Chan's martial arts level, he might not even be able to beat me, so how could he possibly beat Master? Master, tell me the truth, did he use any despicable means on you?"
When Chu Jian heard this, he hated her even more.
"That guy is a shameless villain who can do anything despicable. He must have plotted against Master!"
Xuanjizi did not directly address Xixi's question, he just sighed softly.
“No matter how it happened, the feud between Kong Chan and I has been resolved.
When I die, you must bury me together with King Nanyue.
She and I cannot be together in life, but at least we can be buried in the same grave after death.
This can be regarded as a regret for us.”
Xiao Xixi held his skinny hand and retorted loudly: "Don't talk nonsense! I've told you your fortune and you can live a hundred years. You will definitely live for many more years!"
Xuanjizi reluctantly reminded: "When I changed the fate of King Nanyue, I already lost half of my lifespan."
Xiao Xixi: "Even so, you can still live to fifty. You are not even forty yet, so you can still live for at least another ten years!"
Xuanjizi: "Then calculate for me again and see how long I have left to live?"
Xiao Xixi looked at his wrinkled, skinny old face for a long time without moving.
She was very scared, afraid that she had calculated the worst outcome.
Xuanjizi sighed, "Based on my current appearance, anyone with eyes can see that I am going to die soon."
Xiao Xixi was unwilling to accept this reality.
She kept shaking her head: "No, no."
Chu Jian cried and said, "I'll go get my senior brother. He's such a great doctor, he'll definitely be able to cure Master!"
After saying that, he turned around quickly and ran out.
Xuanjizi wanted to call out to Chu Jian, but because he was using too much force, he couldn't hold back his breath. His throat was very itchy and he couldn't help coughing violently.
Cough cough cough!
Xiao Xixi quickly raised her hand to gently stroke his chest to help him calm down.
But it didn't work.
Xuanjizi coughed more and more violently, and finally he even coughed up blood.
Xiao Xixi was frightened and hurriedly used her sleeve to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, crying with tears streaming down her face.
"Master, please hold on a little longer. The senior brother will be here soon. You just need to hold on a little longer."
Xuanjizi's face was as pale as gold paper and his breath was weak.
He said weakly.
"During this period of time, I have been hoping that you would not come to Nanyue, but you still came. This is God's will."
Blood began to flow from the corner of his mouth, which had just been wiped clean.
Xiao Xixi helped him wipe the blood while crying and begging.
"Please stop talking. Save your energy. The senior brother will be here soon."
