The village chief was silent. He should have thought a long time ago that when he first saw Tianxie Sword Spirit and Ye Lingfeng, he should have thought that the two of them were definitely not ordinary people.
Just imagine, what kind of ordinary people can travel across mountains and rivers to get here?
Not to mention that it is thousands of miles away from the nearest city. Even the beasts in this mountain are not something an old man can handle, let alone a patient.
The mountains are so remote and the journey is so long that it is impossible for ordinary people to get there.
"Tell me, what happened? Why did I suddenly die when I saw that your time had not yet come."
Tianxie Sword Spirit's eyes flickered and he couldn't help but ask in confusion.
"I don't know. I just encountered a kind of fruit when I was out a few days ago. Seeing that the fruit was bright red and full of fragrance, I couldn't help but pick one and ate it. I didn't feel anything strange at the time, but after I got home, , I just had an abnormal headache, as if I was going to be torn apart, I couldn’t get through it, and it became like this after that.”
The village chief did not hide anything and told what happened.
He has already received confirmation that the person in front of him who looks similar to his age must not be an ordinary cultivator, and presumably he is also an average person. Maybe he can be restored to his yang.
After all, although he is not afraid of death, he doesn't want to die yet.
"You may have eaten some kind of spiritual fruit by mistake. The spiritual power in that spiritual fruit is huge, and it is obviously not something that your mortal body can bear. I am still wondering why you suddenly died when you clearly had ten years to live. ?”
Tianxie Sword Spirit suddenly realized what he said and immediately sent out his spiritual consciousness. As expected, he found a tree with red fruits not far from the village.
It's just that he thought it was something, but he was disappointed. This fruit is called the Red Spirit Fruit, and it is only effective for low-level monks in the Qi Condensation Stage. For him, it is better to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth directly.
But even so, it is not something that a mortal can take. It can be said that the reason why the village chief died was due to this calamity.
"Then I dare to ask Brother Xie, can I still live? I don't want to die, and I can't bear to leave my wife." Upon hearing this, the village chief immediately knelt down in the air.
Hearing this, Tianxie Sword Spirit shook his head and said: "Life and death are destiny, which is the cycle of heaven and the eternal law. Do you think that immortal cultivators can do whatever they want?"
"What? Can't immortal cultivators become immortals? It is said that immortals are immortal. Can't you help me?"
The village chief was stunned when he heard this. He remembered that when he was young, he had traveled all over the country and had seen the world.
He also felt that the magical power of the immortal cultivator was extremely miraculous. Now that he heard that he could not be reborn, a sense of resentment instantly rose from him.
"Are you angry? Are you resentful? Do you think this is useful? Your resentment may still have some power for ordinary people, but in front of me, it is not enough to see. You'd better be reincarnated honestly, don't let it go after you die. People scolded.”
Tianxie Sword Spirit was stunned when he saw this, obviously he did not expect that the village chief's desire to survive was so strong.
But so what? What can be changed?
The cycle of life and death is the cycle of heaven and earth. It is an eternal law. Even his master cannot change his destiny against heaven, let alone him?
He couldn't help the village chief, nor would he. If he was a monk, he could help find a suitable body to seize. In that case, after all, it was a matter between the monks.
A monk, whether he practices Taoism, immortality or spirituality, is an act that defies heaven, but it doesn't matter.
But if he helps a mortal, and it is a mortal who is already dead, it will be equivalent to destroying the balance of the world, and he will be punished by God.
This heavenly punishment is not a catastrophe. It will be over with a few thunders. It will affect your luck, both yourself and those close to you. For paying such a price, he can't be that great. .
"Since you refuse to help me, since this is fate, then please don't stop me. I want to take my wife with me, and I can't bear to leave her."
The village chief heard this and thought about it for a while. He also knew that his resentment would not have any impact on the Tianxie Sword Spirit.
But he really couldn't let go of his wife. They had been dependent on each other for decades. Now that he was leaving, how could he let go?
"I'm afraid I can't promise you this. You are already dead, why can't you let her live well? Are you so selfish?"
Tianxie Sword Spirit shook his head. This was not the first time he saw such a selfish person, but this was the first time he wanted to drag his wife to die with him.
"Why, you are an immortal cultivator. Don't think that I don't know. Immortal cultivators are not allowed to meddle in matters between ordinary people." Upon hearing this, the village chief knew that he was no match for the Tianxie Sword Spirit and immediately followed the rules of the immortal cultivator. Speak up.
"Hey, I didn't expect you know a lot, but do you think this broken rule can restrain me? Finally, I tell you, don't force me to take action, otherwise you will be driven out of your mind and you won't even have a chance to be reincarnated."
Tianxie Sword Spirit was stunned when he heard this, and obviously did not expect that the village chief actually knew this.
If his cultivation level is low, he may be wary of this rule, but the rule is made for the weak, and he is not a weak person. For him, this rule is just a lie.
Originally, Ye Lingfeng had already made him suffocate, but now that a little mortal dared to threaten him, he was simply being treated as a soft persimmon.
But think about it, in the past few days, he has restrained his aura and is even more reclusive. He usually has a kind face, so it is inevitable that he will be looked down upon.
"You?" The village chief was anxious, but what could he do?
Facing the powerful immortal cultivator, he was just an ordinary ghost, no match for the Tianxie Sword Spirit.
"How about this? Seeing as you didn't do anything bad during your lifetime, I can promise you something, which can be regarded as repaying your kindness for taking me in."
When Tianxie Sword Spirit saw this, he was not an unreasonable person and immediately came up with a solution.
"Can you let me say a few words to my wife?" The village chief was overjoyed when he heard this. He also knew that it was impossible for Tianxie Sword Spirit to help him survive, so he immediately chose a compromise method.
"Okay, I can promise you." When Tianxie Sword Spirit heard this, this request was not too much.
He immediately waved his hand and summoned the old woman's soul with a burst of spiritual power.
"Old woman, old woman..." the village chief shouted upon seeing this.
The old woman looked at her wife in confusion, and then at the Tianxie Sword Spirit, obviously not understanding what was going on.
"Old man, am I dreaming?" the old woman asked doubtfully.
"That's right. If you have anything to say, just say it quickly. It's close to noon now, when the power of the sun between heaven and earth is at its strongest. I can't guarantee that you will end up in a state of despair."
When Tianxie Sword Spirit saw this, he immediately explained.
This is not to say that he is not strong enough to protect even the souls of mortals.
Note that this is a mortal who has no spiritual power, and does not have the spiritual power of a monk to be powerful.
Even with his cover, it would be difficult to block the power of the sun.
"So that's it, old man, are you okay?" When the old woman heard this, although she didn't fully understand it, she got a general idea.
"I'm not good, I'm very bad. It's very cold down there. Old lady, would you like to come with me?" the village chief said immediately.
"I do." The old woman said it without thinking.
In just one sentence, without the slightest hesitation, he left everything behind and headed towards death.
"What?"
The old woman's answer really surprised Tianxie Sword Spirit. What kind of situation is this? How could there be such a stupid person in the world?
"That's great, old lady, I knew you couldn't let me go. Thank you for staying with me when I was alive, and you are still willing to stay with me now that you are dead. My old man's life has been worth it." The village chief was overjoyed when he heard this. He couldn't help but glance at Tianxie Sword Spirit with pride.
"Thank you, brother. Thank you for your help. You are a good person. We will pray for you."
No matter what, Tianxie Sword Spirit helped him in the end, this was undeniable.
"Old woman, come, let's kowtow together to thank our brothers." After saying that, the village chief pulled the old woman and knelt down to the Tianxie Sword Spirit.
"This, this, this? How did it become like this? Is it God's will?" When Tianxie Sword Spirit saw this, he couldn't believe what he saw. This almost overturned his understanding of the avenue.
They all say that God's will cannot be violated and cannot be done against nature, but the behavior of the old couple in front of them is no longer an act against nature, it is already a matter of mutual consent between you and me.
"You just left like this? Where is your son? Did you ignore it?" Tianxie Sword Spirit asked unwillingly.
"Thank you for reminding me, brother. He is already married and has his own home. As an old woman, I will be a drag on them. This is good."
"Yes, brother Xie, you won't stop me now, but I still hope you can help me again."
The old couple said one after another, Tianxie Sword Spirit was speechless for a moment, this was not his original intention!
Originally, he thought about asking the village chief to reincarnate and stop entangled with the living, but who could have imagined that this would be the result.
"It's up to you now." In desperation, Tianxie Sword Spirit agreed.
"Thank you so much, brother. Please tell Shi Song for me and ask him to protect the villagers. We are leaving. There is no need to worry."
After saying that, the old couple kowtowed to Tianxie Sword Spirit again to express their gratitude.
Then they supported each other and floated away into the distance, and soon left the sight of Tianxie Sword Spirit.
"It's a mess, it's a mess, it's such a mess." Tianxie Sword Spirit was extremely speechless and immediately shouted: "Shi Song, come here."
"Uncle Xie, what's going on? Is my father gone?" Shi Song didn't go far. After hearing the cry of Tianxie Sword Spirit, he immediately ran over.
"He's gone. Not only your father is gone, but your mother is also gone. I'm sorry that I couldn't keep them. However, this is their own choice. Please respect them and express your condolences."
Tianxie Sword Spirit took a deep breath, with a complicated look on his face.
This was the first time he apologized to a mortal, and he was really unhappy.
Although he couldn't be blamed for this, he felt very guilty when he saw the child Shi Song looking at him expectantly. He hated that there was no gap in the ground, otherwise he would have to get in, which would be really embarrassing.
