Chapter 145 Wooden Man
However, the big boss who was about to die of old age was in good health, so she should be happy. After all, her mother was not in the right in this matter.
But now that she heard that he was fine, Zhou Ling started to worry again. When the big guy woke up, would he feel ashamed of being beaten in public by a small cultivator with low cultivation level? Would he find a way to settle the score later?
Therefore, it is not advisable to stay here for long.
Chi Xiao knew that the two of them would not stay here for long. It was just that when they first met, Zhou Ling looked fine on the surface, but after a careful examination, he found out that she had suffered a serious loss of blood and essence. Although her injuries had recovered, she still needed to take good care of her blood and essence.
Zhou Ling has always been a person who only reports good news and not bad news. As she had suffered such severe loss of her own blood and essence, it can be imagined that she had suffered many injuries before she came.
She gave Zhou Li some recipes for nourishing the essence and blood of monks, to be used to nourish the body of Ling'er, the little girl.
Now they are still in the world of immortal cultivation, and many medicinal herbs that are only available in the world of immortal cultivation can be bought in the nearest market shops. But once this mother and daughter leave, they will have no place to live, and may even go to the mortal world, and then they will not be able to buy all the spiritual herbs they need.
She was still worried that the child was too young. If she weakened her body and was not taken good care of, the problem of insufficient essence and blood would become a problem for her future cultivation.
"Then at least, before you leave, go to the Bingyu Sect Market and buy all the spiritual medicines you need now." A long time ago, when she was still young, what annoyed her most was the elders in the sect reminding her what to do over and over again. She thought they were nagging and annoying.
But now, those elders who had never tire of giving her various instructions have all passed away, and she has finally become one of them.
It seems that he has endless worries about his own younger generation, and he never gets tired of reminding them about something over and over again.
"Yes, thank you, Grandpa. My mother is just like Grandpa. She is very concerned about nourishing my body. Since Grandpa reminded me to take good care of myself last time, my mother thought it is better to be prepared, so she prepared more spiritual medicines according to the prescription early on. They will last me for a long time."
Zhou Ling never felt that the elders' worries about the younger generation before leaving were a bother. She still remembered her master's reluctant look, his repeated instructions, and the things he stuffed into her hands when she left the sect...
Oh, I haven’t seen Master for a long time. I miss him a little.
She didn't tell him about the injury this time, but Patriarch Chi Xiao was here, so she knew about it, and she wasn't very tight-lipped. Although they agreed not to tell the master about it, but...
As for how loose-lipped Patriarch Chi Xiao is, her master mentioned it to her when they were gossiping. Her master suffered greatly from it, so there was no need for her to say more.
When the ancestor finishes dealing with the affairs of the Ice Domain Sect and returns to the sect, who knows, he might accidentally reveal the secret to the master one day.
Well, you'd better be prepared to be scolded.
……
The northern part of Yan is not that hot in midsummer. Some of the higher mountains still have ice and snow that have not melted. The green grass and snow-capped mountains overlap to create a magnificent scene.
It was a rare time when Zhou Ling and her mother were not in a hurry to travel. They just sat on the flying magic tool and slowly flew through the clouds, drinking tea and eating snacks, appreciating the beautiful scenery along the way, and occasionally chatting.
The originally small pink sofa was made much wider by Zhou Ling to increase comfort. The mother and daughter lay on it with their backs, feeling comfortable and soft.
It seemed that there was no more leisurely and carefree time than this, except that it was different from the life that the mother and daughter were enjoying at this moment. Sheng Yuan, who was still in the Bingyu Sect and finally woke up from his deep sleep, learned that the person he wanted to see most at this moment had left. He couldn't help but turned over, grabbed the corner of the quilt to cover his face, and groaned a few times in anxiety and anger.
No one feels familiar with another person for no reason. If this happens, they must have seen them before but may have forgotten.
Sheng Yuan thought he was not a forgetful person. He had been practicing Taoism for thousands of years and had met countless people, but he would never forget anyone he had met. More than a thousand years ago, he was traveling in the mortal world and bought a candied haws from an old woman's stall. As a result, just as he got the candied haws and had not had time to taste it, an old man passing by had a chicken cage in his hand move. A chicken bit open the bolt on the cage and flapped its wings to escape. As luck would have it, it flapped its wings and two chicken feathers fell off. They moved with the wind and all stuck to the candied haws in his hand!
A candied haws with bright sugar color and tempting red fruits was ruined just like that.
He has never been a person who likes to fuss over trivial matters, and usually doesn't care about such trivial matters.
But that day, he was in a very bad mood.
He immediately took out twenty copper coins and stuffed them into the old man's hand, grabbed the chicken that ruined his candied haws by the neck, and took it back home, preparing to stew it for dinner.
To this day, he can't remember how many years have passed, but whether it is the old woman selling candied haws or the old man carrying the chicken coop, he can still remember their faces if he thinks about it for a while.
With such an extraordinary memory, he will never forget anyone.
But what about that woman named Zhou Li?
During the time when he fell into a coma, he seemed to be wandering in his past memories. The scenes in his dreams seemed to be covered with a layer of gauze. He tried desperately to see them clearly, but he was unable to do so.
When I woke up, I felt empty inside, as if the most important thing was missing.
All these strange visions were related to the woman named Zhou Li. The first thing he did when he woke up was, of course, to see her again and ask her why she was so hostile to him, why she had such strong emotions towards him, why she rode on him and beat him, and even cried in front of him.
Can……
she left.
It’s hard to tell whether it’s regret or the guilt buried deeper in my heart.
So for a long time afterwards, Chi Xiao discovered that the Elder Sheng Yuan, who used to be taciturn in front of others, was no longer just taciturn, he... had completely become a block of wood!
He neither listened nor spoke when everyone was discussing something.
He did nothing while everyone was killing the monster.
Everyone else dispersed, but he stayed put!
This naive guy has lived in vain for so many years. It seems that he is relying on the Ice Domain Sect?
Sect Leader Ye was so worried that his head was bald. He was a little younger than Elder Sheng, but when they stood together, they looked like a pair of grandparents and grandchildren.
One looks young and childish, while the other looks so old that he is about to be buried.
However, the fact is that the young and naive one will be buried earlier than him in the near future.
A lifespan of five thousand years seems long, but it is easy to live; in the blink of an eye, it is over.
"Brother Sheng, if you encounter any difficulties, you can tell me."
It was not easy for Sect Leader Ye to directly chase away this powerful immortal cultivator who might die at any time, but it was necessary to ask him indirectly when he would leave.
