By the time Chu Wushuang and Chen Mo finished setting off the prayer lanterns, the dark blue haze had soaked into the night, and a white edge appeared around Leng Yue.
In the courtyard, there were several more old men with white hair and beards. Some had just arrived, while others had been here for several hours.
Coincidentally, everyone was not tired, or they were familiar with each other and exchanged a few words briefly, or some people stared blankly at the coffins placed in the courtyard, wondering if they also thought of their future fate.
Hearing the creak of the door being pushed open, the eyes of a group of old guys immediately fell on the two people who came in.
Chen Mo also didn't expect that the master's contacts would be so extensive. Being stared at by several people in the middle and late stages of foundation building, one can imagine the pressure on him and Chu Wushuang.
However, he also felt that these people all had a faint scent of medicine. They must have been exposed to elixirs for many years and had a close relationship with Sun Xing. Therefore, there was no malice in their eyes.
He and Chu Wushuang called their seniors hello and walked quickly into the room. However, when they passed by an old man, within a few breaths, the two of them looked back at the same time, feeling as if they had seen each other somewhere. generally.
"Huh? Little friend, stay here..."
Chen Mo frowned and asked tentatively, "Are you...the elder of the alchemy workshop of Zhaotian Sect of Chu State?"
The old man's eyes suddenly widened and he said eagerly: "It's you?!"
The person in front of him was the Zhaotian Sect elder who had given Chen Mo a letter of recommendation. Without him, Chen Mo would not have become a disciple of Sun Xingmen by chance.
"It's me, senior, why are you here too?" Chen Mo looked quite surprised and quickly stepped forward and held the old man's wrist.
"well...."
The old man of Zhaotian Sect also looked excited: "Okay! Fellow Daoist Sun really taught a good disciple. He can enter the foundation building stage in such a short period of time. I was not wrong about you back then!"
As he spoke, he patted Chen Mo on the shoulder: "You go to accompany your master first, and we will talk in your free time."
"Okay." Chen Mo responded. Now everyone knew that Sun Xing had actually accepted a foundation-building monk as his disciple. Listening to the conversation between the two, it seemed that this kid had only been building the foundation for a short time? "It's really strange." Everyone shook their heads and looked curious.
They immediately entered the room. Lin Yuling and Sun Xing were not the only ones here. There was also a beautiful woman in a plain white dress sitting by the window. She did not apply any makeup, but she had a naturally pretty face, even though she was slightly older. It was bigger enough to compare with Chu Wushuang.
The tears on the beautiful woman's face had not disappeared, and she and Lin Yuling sat face to face without speaking to each other.
Sun Xing in front of the bed was older than Chen Mo when he first met him. Now he was unwilling to even open his eyes. There was a thick purple-black aura on his face, as if his body was moving on its own. Burns the internal organs and turns them into needed nutrients.
Chen Mo bowed his hands and saluted the beautiful woman. After she nodded, he said to Lin Yuling: "Senior Lin, how are you?"
Lin Yuling shook his head.
Chen Mo pursed his lips. This was not good news. He turned around and said softly: "Wushuang."
"...Huh?" Chu Wushuang didn't want to agree. She always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't find the reason.
Chen Mo said: "Take your master to the side room to rest, and this senior, I will watch over here, there won't be any problems..."
"Chen Mo, I'm right here and I'm not going anywhere."
Lin Yuling interrupted before he finished speaking.
Chen Mo sighed and said: "I know that your cultivation is deep and you can endure it. It doesn't matter if you don't rest for a few months, but your body is not such a torment. Senior Lin, go and rest. You will be in charge of the overall situation in a few days." when."
As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Yuling stopped talking. Chen Mo gave Chu Wushuang a wink, and she quickly went to help Lin Yuling. Although she felt reluctant to leave, she still sighed and left the room with Chu Wushuang.
"Senior, please." Chen Mo said to the beautiful woman who still had charm.
He was very helpless in his heart. Why was this cultivator here, so he must have a higher level of cultivation than him. This senior screamed more frequently than he had ever said before.
Seeing that Chen Mo had given the eviction order, the beautiful woman could no longer hang around and left the house silently.
Afterwards, Chen Mo tidied up the room first, and then carefully wiped Sun Xing's cheek with a wet rag. Although he didn't know if it was useful, this was the only thing he could do as an apprentice.
...
After another two torturous days, Zhuo Qingyang, one of the two immortals of Xingyang, arrived belatedly. It was already sunset when he arrived at the small town with his apprentice Jia Jiao.
This can't be blamed on him, the distance varies. When he entered the courtyard, he almost collapsed and fainted. It was only Chen Mo and others who were busy for a while and persuaded him to wake up.
After Zhuo Qingyang woke up, he hurried into the room. Not long after, a sound of wailing and crying came from the window.
"...My condolences, Brother Chen."
Jia Jiao, who was traveling with him, naturally recognized Chen Mo. The two had worked together at the Tianding Chamber of Commerce, and he had also changed a lot over the years. In addition to his appearance becoming more mature, he lost a trace of liveliness in his bones, but gained a lot of calmness. .
"It's still holding up." Chen Mo said, "Are you still in the Tianding Chamber of Commerce all these years?"
"I've been gone for a long time. I was recently helping a certain sect to refine a batch of elixirs. It's very profitable. I guess I can try to build a foundation in a few years."
"That's okay..." Chen Mo nodded.
Jia Jiao saw Chu Wushuang next to him again: "Brother Chen, this girl is yours... um... aha... right?"
Jia Jiao moved her fingers back and forth, and Chu Wushuang felt unnatural when she pointed at her: "I'll go over there." She hurried away before Chen Mo could reply.
Chen Mo was speechless. He was most worried that Chu Wushuang thought he had instigated this. But thinking about it carefully, Jia Jiao didn't know about it, so he had no choice but to accept the matter aggrievedly.
Chen Mo said seriously: "Don't point fingers, she is my senior sister."
Jia Jiao screamed. He knew he was in trouble and was about to apologize to Chu Wushuang. Chen Mo stopped him again. Now, wouldn't there be three hundred taels of silver here in the past? Let's forget it.
"What's this called..."
Before Chen Mo could think more, the door to the courtyard was suddenly pushed open again. The eyes of Chen Mo and everyone suddenly gathered here, and a man walked in calmly.
This monk was about in his early thirties, with a white jade crown on his hair, regular features, and a dignified appearance. He was dressed in a black robe. Although he did not release any pressure, everyone felt a sense of nervous oppression!
"Overhaul of core formation... at least mid-term and above!!"
Chen Mo felt as if he was suffocated by this man as if he was facing Master Liu of the sect. He was very surprised. Although there were not as few monks in the Tianyun Continent as there were in the Tianyun Continent, there were only a few hundred people in total. , his master still knows such a person?
Is this person here to seek revenge, or is he simply meeting? Chen Mo didn't know it clearly, but he knew that he was the only one qualified to intercept him at this time.
"Senior, please stay!"
Chen Mo gritted his teeth and shouted loudly at the man's back:
"Master Sun Xing, I wonder what your senior's orders are when you come here?"
After hearing Chen Mo's words, the man stopped, looked back at him, and said calmly: "I mean no harm. Is your master in the room?"
"Yes." Chen Mo said matter-of-factly, and the latter stopped talking nonsense to him and turned around and entered the room.
.....
A group of old fellows who were building foundations, at least twenty or thirty of them, did not dare to say a word in front of this monk who was in the middle stage of pill formation. When he entered the room, they started talking in low voices. .
"...Who is this monk?"
"This person's aura has been condensed and solidified. Even if he is a pill-forming monk, he will not be an ordinary cultivator!"
"Daoyou Sun has a gentle temper and rarely gets grudges with others, so he should be fine..."
Chen Mo listened to what everyone was talking about. Although their attitude was very arrogant, the world of cultivation was like this. There was so much bullshit for a low cultivation level. He quickly called for Chu Wushuang and Jia Jiao to follow them to avoid any accidents.
These old guys who came to visit Sun Xing saw the situation and followed him. If they really came for revenge, as righteous people, they could at least offer some persuasion.
Chen Mo and the other three trotted all the way, but before they entered the main hall, they heard an excited shout. "...Benefactor?!" Chu Wushuang looked stunned, and Chen Mo seemed to understand something. He walked over and took a look. Lin Yuling knelt down directly to the mysterious man just now, and combined with what she said , obviously, this monk will also be Sun Xing's savior.
Chen Mo rushed behind him and immediately knelt down to the mysterious man on behalf of his master. His face was worthless in front of this group of people, not to mention that he couldn't let others think that his master had lost his etiquette.
"You two get up."
The mysterious man said calmly. He walked straight to the bed and felt the pulse of Sun Xing's wrist.
At this time, more than twenty eyes inside and outside the room were all watching him quietly without making any sound.
After a long time, the mysterious man sighed and said: "The oil is gone and the lamp is dry...The end is approaching, and there is nothing anyone can do."
"Senior, please think of a way!! I am willing to serve you for the rest of my life!" Zhuo Qingyang, who was standing beside him, suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to the mysterious man seven or eight times in a row. Lin Yuling just cried when he saw this. No words were spoken.
"Fellow Taoist, please get up." The mysterious man waved slightly, and suddenly blew out a breath from his wrist, prompting Zhuo Qingyang to stand up involuntarily: "God wants to take people's lives, and no one can do anything about it. Get up."
"But..." the mysterious man shook his head and said: "I also have a secret technique that can make him shine again, but the price is to accelerate his death. Who among you can be the master?"
After hearing this, Lin Yuling's expression froze for a few breaths, then turned around and asked: "Chen Mo, what do you think?"
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Chen Mo's mind was spinning. He knew very well that as long as he dared to answer directly, no matter what he said, it would be wrong.
No, that would be to reject the kindness of the seniors and let the master die in pain before his eyes.
If he did, it meant that he was tired and wanted his master to die as soon as possible, let alone say it out loud.
Chen Mo thought for a while and then said slowly: "Senior Lin, what I want to do is to bother you. If this continues, it will cost your life. Rather than letting the master leave in agony, it is better to let him finish what he wants to say." .”
"Besides, there are so many Master's friends outside who come to visit." Chen Mo glanced outside the room behind him and added.
"Young man Chen is thoughtful and considerate. I think it's okay." In the depressing atmosphere, Zhuo Qingyang spoke up at the right time and agreed with Chen Mo's point of view.
"Then please ask your benefactor to take action!"
Lin Yuling bowed her hands in thanks, and the mysterious man didn't say much. He raised his hand and summoned a bright yellow aura, which gathered at his fingertips and disappeared directly into Sun Xing's eyebrows.
After that, he pressed a dozen important acupuncture points on his upper body, and every time he took a shot, his strength was just right.
"Open!" the mysterious man shouted.
Seventeen blood holes the size of fingertips suddenly burst out in Sun Xing's chest, and a large stream of rotten black blood immediately spurted out from them.
Just then, a strange scene appeared.
The next breath, all the wounds were instantly blocked by the orange aura coming from nowhere.
"Hurry up, I've activated the vitality in his body. If you have anything to say, say it quickly."
As soon as the mysterious man finished speaking, Chen Mo was the closest and noticed that Sun Xing's face turned from black and purple to rosy. This should be due to the black blood in his body being drained.
"Master!!"
"Old Man Sun!!!"
Several people who were close to Sun Xing hurriedly stepped forward. Chen Mo held his shoulders, and the others held his arms. After a few breaths, Sun Xing actually opened his eyes for the first time, which made all the cultivators watching couldn't help but I felt a burst of surprise!
Sun Xing opened his eyes and saw the mysterious man first, saying vaguely: "Master Xu..." The voice seemed to be covered with a piece of cloth. Although it was not clear, he could still hear the voice.
Brother Xu Jiedan clapped his hand: "I'm fine, just tell them."
After saying that, he turned around and left, and the crowd automatically separated into a passage for the two of them to walk.
Seeing the mysterious man walk out of the room, a group of onlookers poured into the room. They sighed, sighed, and felt sad. The expressions on each person's face were different...
At this time, Sun Xing's spirit was much better. He did not speak, and just looked at everyone quietly. Her eyes seemed to have imprinted all the monks in her heart, and finally stopped at the short female cultivator. He stared at the beautiful middle-aged woman Chen Mo saw for a long time, and finally withdrew his gaze.
"Thank you...thank you everyone..."
Sun Xing's voice was hoarse, as if he had a lot of sand in his mouth: "Before I leave...and...it's worth it if you come and send...send...send..."
"Brother Sun! You...sigh!"
"Fellow Daoist Sun..."
"Brother..."
Many old guys covered their faces and cried, and the two female cultivators even burst into tears. Zhuo Qingyang also cried sadly: "You old ghost..."
"Don't cry...Old guys...I'll take the first step...to explore the way for you...We will do it again in the future..."
Speaking of which, Sun Xing suddenly coughed violently, causing everyone to rush forward to investigate. Naturally, Zhuo Qingyang could see that Sun Xing did not have much time left, so he quickly asked everyone to leave and wait in the courtyard. Soon only Chu Wushuang, Zhuo Qingyang, Lin Yuling and Chen Mo were left in the room.
"You guys go out first...Boy Chen and I have something to say..." Sun Xing said feebly, and several people did not dare to disobey and quickly left.
"Master! Please rest for a while first!" Chen Mo said, tears streaming down his face.
"No...I can't...finish it all at once..." Sun Xing struggled and sat upright. He spoke much more fluently: "Apprentice, I am not a good master. ...I haven't taught you the real way to make alchemy yet...I don't have time for my teacher...If you are still interested, go to your senior Lin and take away my teacher's jade slip... .That is...many years of alchemy experience as a teacher..."
Chen Mo held Sun Xing's hand tightly and said with tears: "Master, you will be my master all my life!"
"Wushuang...she is a good girl...I can tell that she still has some real feelings for you...it's not sweet to be so forceful, but I can't...can't force you..." Let her make the decision...If you...if you are worried...check it for her...The Taoist companion she chooses must be...cautious..."
"Master! I've remembered it all. Take a good rest!" Chen Mo said in fear, and quickly laid Sun Xing down and stabilized him.
Chen Mo didn't jump out of a rock. People are not just grass and trees, so how can they be ruthless? What's more, Sun Xing has been kind to him again.
"Go, call them over..." Sun Xing lay down and said weakly. Chen Mo immediately agreed. Before going out, Sun Xing suddenly got the strength from nowhere and shouted in a clear voice. One sentence: "Apprentice!"
Chen Mo suddenly looked back, and there was a trace of tears in Sun Xing's eyes.
"Let's go, let's go...let's go."
Sun Xing's voice became smaller and smaller, until it was too small to be detected.
