Chapter 30: Keep going
I don't know how much time has passed since I closed my eyes, and when the monk is in a state of concentration, he doesn't feel the passage of time at all.
At this moment, Chen Xuan was woken up by a cry, he slowly opened his eyes, and saw Kong Ling, whose face was full of tears, crying in front of him, and at the same time anxiously calling in his mouth
"Immortal Master, Immortal Master..."
Chen Xuan, who opened his eyes, looked a little confused about the little girl crying so sadly, he put his hand on the little girl's shoulder, patted it gently, and comforted
"What's wrong, little sister, don't worry, speak slowly!"
"Immortal Master! , Grandpa he..."
Before she finished speaking, the little girl was crying again, and at this time, Chen Xuan probably knew what was going on, he was a Qi cultivator, and although the scope of divine consciousness was not as broad as that of a foundation building monk, it was still possible to just have a small room.
His divine sense detected that in the house where the little girl's grandfather was, the old man had no signs of life.
Discovering this, Chen Xuan hurriedly stood up, kept saying words to comfort the little girl, and at the same time came to the room with her.
In the room, the old man lay on the bed with his eyes closed, he had stopped breathing, and on the table at the head of the bed, there was a bowl of decoction.
Seeing this, Chen Xuan learned that the little girl must have decocted the medicine, and then sent it to the room to feed her grandfather, never thinking that the old man had passed away.
At this time, when she saw the silent old man on the bed, the little girl cried even more, and Chen Xuan, who was standing on the side, could only touch her head with his hand and whispered comfortingly.
In the blink of an eye, the next day, Chen Xuan and Kong Ling dug a soil pit on a hillside outside the village and buried her grandfather.
After the little girl kowtowed, the two returned to the village, and at this moment, the surrounding villagers gathered around, asking Chen Xuan's purpose for coming here, and asking if there was a demon beast or something.
In the eyes of these ordinary people, as long as the immortal master arrives in a certain village, something strange must happen, it may be a demon beast, or it may be a ghost as they say.
Regarding the inquiries of these villagers, Chen Xuan could only respond politely with a smile, saying that he was just passing by here, not because there were demon beasts or anything.
Hearing Chen Xuan's words, these villagers dispersed, and at the same time, they continued to discuss who should raise Grandpa Kong Ling after she died.
When she returned to the straw room with Kong Ling again, the little girl began to get busy, of course, mainly to pack up the things that were useful to her, and her grandfather had also told her before that she should follow the immortal master in the future, and she must listen to the immortal master.
Time flickered, and by noon, the little girl had basically finished cleaning up and was now busy cooking in the kitchen.
Chen Xuan, on the other hand, was meditating and cultivating in the house, and he had wasted more than a day here, so he discussed it with Kong Ling and set off after lunch.
I don't know how long it has been, maybe ten minutes, or maybe half an hour, Chen Xuan was awakened by Kong Ling's call.
He opened his eyes and saw Kong Lingzheng looking at him with a puzzled expression, as if he was very curious about his meditation and cultivation.
At this time, Kong Ling's face no longer had the sad expression of losing a loved one, but on the contrary, it was as calm as ever, and she called out to Chen Xuandao
"Immortal Master, the meal is ready! Let's eat together!"
Hearing this, Chen Xuan smiled at her, stood up, and the two came to a somewhat shabby table, at this time, there were two bowls of white porridge on the table, and several bowls were filled with wild vegetables.
Chen Xuan held chopsticks in his hand and stirred in the bowl, and found that the white porridge in the bowl had few rice grains, but when she saw that the little girl was drinking the porridge with relish, she also understood how difficult her life was before.
Without thinking much about it, Chen Xuan also ate slowly, although he still had some dry food stored in his storage bag, this white porridge was also the little girl's heart.
After the two finished eating, Chen Xuan put all the things that Kong Ling had packed into the storage bag, after all, he couldn't let a little girl carry so many things in his hands along the way.
Walking out of the door, they walked towards the outside of the village, and along the way, Kong Ling always followed behind Chen Xuan silently and did not speak.
Seeing this, the other villagers in the village all gathered around and asked Chen Xuan
"This little immortal master, where are you taking her?"
This was a somewhat older woman, and when she saw Kong Ling following Chen Xuan towards the outside of the village, she was the first to ask.
"This lady, Kong Ling's grandfather entrusted her to me on his deathbed! I promised her grandfather that if she had an immortal fate, he would take her into the immortal gate!"
Chen Xuan politely bowed slightly and responded
In response to Chen Xuan's response, the woman also nodded, she looked at Kong Ling, there was some reluctance in her eyes, but she only stepped forward to comfort Kong Ling for a few words, and left.
Seeing this, Chen Xuan didn't say anything, just smiled and said goodbye to these villagers, Kong Ling was no exception, just like that, the two walked towards the outside of the village.
Walking on the road, after walking for about two hours, Chen Xuan saw that Kong Ling was a little exhausted, so tired that he was panting, and he was already a little thin, and when he walked at this time, he felt like he would fall to the ground at any time.
He shook his head, feeling a little helpless about this, after all, he was only fifteen years old, and sometimes he might not be able to take care of himself, and now he had to take care of one more person.
Chen Xuan came to Kong Ling, took out a water bag from the storage bag, handed it to her, and said lightly
"Sister Kong Ling, let's take a rest first!"
Kong Ling took the water bag, and without saying a word, he poured a large mouthful of water first, then nodded and responded
"Okay, Immortal Master!"
Chen Xuan smiled, he seemed a little unaccustomed to Kong Ling always calling himself an immortal master, if a stranger called him that, forget it, he said
"My name is Chen Xuan, you don't have to always call me Immortal Master, if you can, you can call me Brother Sheng!"
Kong Ling blinked, she looked at Chen Xuan innocently, and said with some uncertainty
"Is that okay?"
Chen Xuan smiled slightly, nodded, and affirmed
"Absolutely!"
"Brother!"
As soon as the words fell, Kong Ling smiled and changed her voice directly, as if she was very happy to have such a brother.
The two of them found a big tree on the side of the road, rested under the tree for more than ten minutes, and saw that the sun was about to set.
Seeing this, Chen Xuan shook his head, it was impossible for them to spend the night in such a place, so he came to Kong Ling's side and said
"By the way, sister, I'll discuss something with you!"
Hearing this, Kong Ling turned his head and listened quietly with his big eyes.
Chen Xuan pursed his lips, scratched his head a little embarrassedly, and said
"It's that we need to find a place to stay at night, but now it's getting dark, and I guess we won't be able to get to a place where there are people at night, so I want to use a spell to fly over!"
Since Kong Ling was a girl, Chen Xuan was a little embarrassed to hold her and fly with her without the consent of the other party.
