Afterlife
Chapter 111 Funeral
Li Wuxiang exhaled slowly like a living person, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
Because the last sentence Pan Muyun said was too "big" - it was a concept that sounded very just, very grand, and very arduous. He had been exposed to this concept in his previous life, and it did not feel inconsistent with him. .
What seems a little inconsistent is the condition for achieving this concept - Donghuang Taiyi, a real god and emperor. It seems a bit wrong to tie the well-being of all people in the world to one person, but considering that there really is a god in this world, this wrongness seems a bit irrefutable.
He realized that his current situation was somewhat similar to when he first came into this body, where two completely different perceptions collided, making it difficult to express for a moment.
Pan Muyun saw his expression and smiled: "Junior Brother Li, don't think too much, everything has to start from the small things. If someone thinks about rescuing Taiyi and the destiny of humanity every day, then there is nothing else he can do. . I think we have done a good job by cultivating ourselves in subtle ways and taking care of things when we encounter injustices. If we can do anything else, we will naturally do it. Okay, there are other things to do. Ask?"
His few words made Li Wuxiang feel a little more comfortable. So he said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Pan. It's gone for the time being."
Pan Muyun nodded to the other two people: "Then let's go?"
Helianji put away his burden, and Lu Renjia also got up. Pan Muyun cupped his fists and saluted Li Wuxiang and Lu Renjia: "We swordsmen gather less and are separated more often. It is not easy for the four of us to meet this time, but it is also very happy. Everyone, please take care of each other!"
Li Wuxiang and Lu Renjia returned the greeting, and after a while, he was the only one left in the forest.
The night was dark all around, and the mist was getting thicker, but he felt much relieved, as if he had seen a ray of light in the dark world.
As Zeng Jianqiu said, he had a unique life experience, and he also knew that in the days to come, he might not be able to agree with everything they agreed with like those swordsmen. But based on what he saw and heard tonight, his previous thoughts were correct - in this world, the thinking patterns of swordsmen were the closest to those of him, a visitor from another world.
Got a backer. Li Wuxiang thought for a while and couldn't help but smile. Then he put away his smile and went to Feiyun Temple.
…
The fire in the alchemy stove was still burning. Cheng Shengfei helped Cheng Peixin onto the couch and immediately went to look for pills in the cabinet next to the alchemy stove.
She endured the grief in her heart, but she didn't know what to say to Cheng Peixin at this time. When she was in front of the Martial Arts Temple, there was one truth that always supported her - everything I did was moral and there was nothing wrong. But when she saw the blood all over her master's body along the way and thought of the words "Youth and Longevity", she didn't know if she was wrong.
She felt her hands were trembling and she knocked over several bottles and jars. Before she could find the bottle of Fuyuan Baosheng Pill, she heard Cheng Peixin's voice behind her, weak and subtle, like a ray of wronged soul: " Are you looking for Fuyuan Baosheng Pill?”
Cheng Shengfei bit his lip and felt a cry in his voice: "Well, mother, where did you put it?"
After a while, Cheng Peixin's voice was heard again: "That elixir was given to me by Zhao Puppet. Fei'er, haven't you always wanted to know who your biological father is?"
Cheng Shengfei's body stiffened and he knelt in front of the cabinet: "Mom, you...please stop talking..."
Cheng Peixin sighed, slowly moved her body, propped herself up on the couch, and looked at her back reflected by the fire: "When I came back, I told you, do you think swordsmen are that easy to do? . Now you should know that being a swordsman is not that easy."
"Can you bear the pain in your body...what's in your heart? In this world, if you have to be a swordsman and have to distinguish between right and wrong, you should know what kind of life you are going to live in the future."
Cheng Shengfei called out "Mother" again, collapsed on the ground and curled up his shoulders.
Cheng Peixin smiled sadly and wiped the blood on her face again: "Do you think I said this on purpose to make you uncomfortable? Fei'er, I just wanted you to understand what you will encounter in the future. You...you must learn from it in the future. Ruthless. The swordsman looks ruthless, but he is actually the cruelest at heart. If you can't learn this, you will probably encounter even more uncomfortable things in the future. "
She slowly exhaled: "In the future, if the swordsmen want to kill Li Wuxiang, what will you do?"
Cheng Shengfei turned around suddenly: "They won't!"
Cheng Peixin stared at her for a while and waved. Cheng Shengfei immediately walked over, lay on her lap and buried his face, sobbing softly.
Cheng Peixin slowly stroked her hair: "Mom is like this because she is not cruel. But now that it is like this, I am convinced. Li Wuxiang is a swordsman material, so cruel... you go on, Don't offend him... If he can't die and has achieved success, you don't want to provoke him, stay away from him..."
"With a temperament like his, as long as he doesn't die, he will stand out wherever he goes... But if a person wants to stand out in this world, there will be piles of bones around him. It's the same in the Sword Sect. You don't want to be a pile of bones... you still have to work for Mom, think about it, if you live well, I can live well."
"Mom, I know, I know..."
"Take all the elixirs away and put them in my room... There is also Xuanguang Technique in my room. Whether you want to practice their sword sect's techniques or ours, you can take them with you. ...Li Wuxiang is here, give him half, and treat me as an apology to him. Come on, take out the bronze mirror and help me go to the backyard. I'll tell you how to revive Guo Jianming's soul. That mirror is called the Xuanguang Mirror. Give it to him too, he will definitely like it..."
…
When Li Wuxiang climbed over the wall and jumped into the atrium of Feiyun Temple, he saw Cheng Peixin already sitting at the stone table under the bamboo bushes.
She put on new clothes, and her face was clean. There were three small porcelain bottles and a bronze mirror in front of her. When she saw him, she let out a slight breath: "Fellow Daoist Li, I can't get up because I can't apologize to you. Don't you mind."
Li Wuxiang nodded and just stood: "Yes."
Cheng Peixin pushed the bronze mirror on the table with her hand, and thought for a while in silence: "I revived Guo Jianming's soul and fed him the elixir. Maybe there is hope...it's in the backyard. If you fight these things hard, you will definitely be saved. It’s also a lot of damage, I’ll pay it to you.”
"Can you tell me about Zhao Puppet?"
Li Wuxiang walked to the table, opened the porcelain bottle, looked at it, and gently tapped the bronze mirror with his fingertips: "I'm afraid you won't be happy after hearing this. Okay, I don't have much to say."
It only took him a short while to talk about the Xue family and Jin Shui again. After Cheng Peixin finished listening, she sat blankly for a moment and then said, "Where's the one in the mirror? Where's the one before he died?"
"Then there's nothing to say. He's still like that monster. He wants to kill me, take back his golden knot, and let him come back to the earth again. His last words before death seemed to be 'spare my life'? But he just said "Rao"
"He...he didn't..."
"I never mentioned you." Li Wuxi nodded to her and walked to the backyard, leaving her sitting there.
The second update is at 8am.
