The next day, countless travel lights shot out from Linxian Palace and arrived at the foot of the mountain.
Yao Mengji looked up and said, “You don't have to follow me. Since it's farewell, I'll go alone. ”
“Teacher, we will wait for you here.” Qin Manyun bit her tongue and said in a hopeful tone, “I think the expert is good. Maybe he's willing to save you if he sees you as sincere. ”
“Hopefully.” Yao Mengji smiled and walked up the mountain.
He did not say things that would hurt Qin Manyun. In fact he knew clearly how difficult it was to ask for expert help. It's almost impossible. The expert lives as an ordinary human being. Why would he make an exception for an insignificant person like him?
Furthermore, unless one was a godly figure, a natural tribulation like this was impossible to avoid!
Sha. sha…
Step by step, he stepped on the leaves as he climbed the mountain. Autumn leaves fell to the ground just as Yao Mengji's heart — dried up and was lonely.
He lowered his head with watery eyes. He did not expect to be able to climb the mountain in such a bad condition.
This is probably the last time he came here.
The steps are heavier than usual, like an elderly person. Each step came with deep and distant memories.
Usually the journey ends quickly. But today is very long. After some time, a familiar sight of a four-piece building finally appeared.
“Hopefully expert will save me.”
Although he knew it was impossible, Yao Mengji could not let go of the last hope in him. No one wants to die, especially him!
He walked forward, raised his hand, and knocked on the door.
Knock it! Knock it! Knock it!
Yao Mengji asked in a hoarse voice, “Can I know if Mr Li is home?”
“The door is open. Please login.” Li Nianfan's voice came out from within.
Click!
Yap Mengji opened the door and entered. He said politely to Li Nianfan, “Master Li, sorry to bother you today. ”
“That's you, Mr Yao! Haven't seen you in a long time. ”Master Li Nianfan looked up to see Yao Mengji. However, he frowned. After not seeing him for a while, how did this old man change so drastically?
In the past, even though he was old, his face still shone reddish with a nice vibe. He was a happy and glowing old man. Now, he looked more like an old man in his last stage.
Li Nianfan couldn't help but ask, “ Yao, you.. ”.
“Sigh, long story.” Yao Mengji sighed. “Maybe this is the last time I visited you.”
Li Nianfan's hand froze as he stared at Yao Mengji strangely. Seeing the change in his appearance, Li Nianfan instantly understood his point.
He wanted to say things to cheer her up but did not know where to start. It seems that his illness was caused by his cultivation. Normally, cultivators could sense their own death quite accurately.
Yao Mengji could either fight for his life or give up completely. Judging from his appearance, he seemed to have lost the will to fight, so the latter was more likely to happen.
Was he not okay before? Why so suddenly?
After a moment of silence, he said, “ Yao, don't be too upset. There might be a chance, who knows? ”
I'm hoping what you say will come true. Yao Mengji forced a smile and asked in a curious tone, “Master Li, what are you making? ”
Li Nianfan said casually, “I tried to make a lightning rod, just a small toy.”
“Lightning rod? Yao Mengji jerked. He asked doubtfully, “Can it protect someone from lightning?”
He stared blankly at the long metal rod in Li Nianfan's hand. Maybe the expert made a really cool treasure?
However, no matter how hard he looked, he did not feel the Spiritual Qi emanating from this item!
“I realized there was too much thunder and lightning lately, which is why I thought to make this.” Li Nianfan explained, “The tip of the lightning rod is pointed. When static electricity is induced, the end of the conductor will collect the most charge. Therefore, the air between the lightning rod and the cloud can easily become a conductor, forming a pathway between the two. Because the lightning rod is grounded, it can prevent the house from being struck by lightning. “
Yao Mengji looked confused. He really wanted to say, “Oh, so,” but his lips opened without a word coming out. Other than ‘preventing the house from being struck by lightning’, he did not understand a word Li Nianfan said.
‘The words of an expert are indeed deep and mysterious. They definitely contain some secrets that I don't want to understand. ‘
Li Nianfan laughed and put away the lightning rod. “ Yao, don't put it to heart, I'm talking nonsense. This is not worth mentioning, unlike your cultivation. “
“Please sit. Xiao Bai, pour some tea for Mr. Li. ”
Pa-la-pa-la…
Instantly, Xiao Bai walked over with a glass of tea. It says politely, “ Yao, please, have some tea. “
“Thank you.” Yao Mengji received the tea from Xiao Bai. In the past, he would have blushed in excitement for this opportunity, but now he remained calm and unperturbed. Opportunity is nothing in the face of death. This is probably the biggest revelation.
‘I am a man facing impending death. What right do I have to waste this nice glass of tea? ‘
Yao Mengji put down his glass and stood up. “Master Li, I'll miss the tea. The reason I came this time was to say goodbye. I have to go now. ”
“ Yao, how can you say such a thing? Go back to your seat. You should drink this tea! You should also stay to eat! ” Li Nianfan continued, “Whatever happens, your attitude is not right! Life is meant to be fun, so why think so much? You have to stay here! I won't let you just leave my house! ”
“This life is meant to be fun?” Yao Mengji's eyes twinkled. He regained energy after all.
He continued to mutter this sentence to himself. An expert is an expert. A casual statement from him could even reveal a philosophy of life. Being able to cultivate up to this stage was a real example!
Yao Mengji sat back in his chair. “What you say inspires. Thank you.”
Li Nianfan laughed. “That's the right attitude! At least you're alive now. As long as you are alive, everything is possible. ”
“You're right. I'll be shameless and stay to eat then! ” Yao Mengji said in a slightly positive tone.
Li Nianfan said, “Your taste is lucky today. Xiao Bai, prepare a dish for Master Yao. Let's make him fish head tofu soup! “
Yes, sire. Xiao Bai nodded.
Yao Mengji looked puzzled as he thought, ‘I'm a nobody. Why would experts treat me with such kindness?
‘He not only spent time entertaining me, but he also rewarded me with good food.
‘The claw was very good to me!’
