Chapter 29: Powerlessness
When the old man lying on the bed saw Chen Xuan, he wanted to struggle to turn over and get up, and salute him, after all, in this world, monks are immortals in the eyes of ordinary people.
Seeing this, Chen Xuan hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, and he said calmly
"The old man doesn't have to be polite, you're not in good health, so let's lie down!"
The old man nodded lightly and lay back again, he sighed and said slowly
"This little immortal master, I am already old, and now I am riddled with diseases, I guess I don't have much time to live! And the only thing I can't let go of is Kong Ling's girl, this child's parents went early, and I am the only relative! Now I..."
Before he finished speaking, the old man lying on the bed suddenly coughed, and Kong Ling, who was on the side, hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, gently knocked him on the back, and shouted worriedly at the same time
"Grandpa..."
The old man stretched out his wrinkled palm, swung it slightly, and sighed when the cough eased a little
"I'm fine.... Can you agree to the old man's request?"
Where would Chen Xuan not know what the old man would say next, after all, he was already facing the end of the oil and the lamp, and his longevity was running out, so it was very likely that he would explain the future.
Hearing this, he nodded lightly and said
"Old man! As long as I can do it, I will promise you! You don't have to be in a hurry!
The old man nodded slightly, as if Chen Xuan's answer made him very satisfied, and a smile actually squeezed out of his face that was already full of wrinkles, and said
"Then thank you Little Immortal Master! Honestly, I am already a half-cut person, but Kong Ling, this child is still young, I want to ask the little Immortal Master to take care of her in the future!
"Old man, do you mean that you want Sister Kong Ling to enter the Immortal Gate?"
Chen Xuan touched his chin and thought about it, and responded lightly.
Hearing this, the old man waved his hand, he shook his head slightly, and said softly
"No, I mean please let the little fairy master take care of her in the future! Let her stay with you, as long as you can give her a bite to eat and raise her! You can use her as a maid, but..."
Speaking of this, the old man raised his head and looked at Kong Ling, who was crying quietly on the side, he touched Kong Ling's head with his wrinkled hand, and smiled slightly
"If she has a fairy fate, after entering the fairy gate, it would be good to be able to become a fairy!"
Hearing this, Chen Xuan didn't say anything, just nodded, agreed, and responded to make him feel at ease.
Walking out of the room, Chen Xuan sat back on the bench that Kong Ling had moved before, his brows furrowed slightly, as if he was struggling with something.
On the other side, in the room, the old man was explaining to Kong Ling and followed Chen Xuan to be obedient and obedient, if there is an immortal fate, if you can enter the immortal gate, you must be polite, don't make trouble for him, etc.
Kong Ling, the little girl, was also obedient, nodded seriously in agreement, and kept wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes with her hands.
"What's the matter, stinky boy, what are you struggling with?"
Just as Chen Xuan was thinking, the sound of a small killing came from his mind.
Of course, Xiao Kill was in Chen Xuan's storage bag, and the so-called voice was just information, after all, he didn't have a mouth, he could only use his divine sense to communicate with Chen Xuan in the form of information.
"What else can you worry about, why don't you ask for some reason! Xiao Kill, you said that if this little girl follows me, what should I do?"
Chen Xuan was a little undecided, after all, he was only a fifteen-year-old boy, and the first time he went down the mountain to complete the task, he encountered such a thing, and he was almost a little entangled with anyone.
After about a few breaths, the information of the small kill came to Chen Xuan's mind again
"What else can I do, you have promised others, you must be responsible for it to the end! Besides, I don't think this little girl looks bad, as long as she dresses up, she must be not much worse than those female cultivators in the sect!"
"Eh, I said, what's the matter with your little murder? When will you look at girls with a sword?"
After all, Chen Xuan is a normal boy, and he is in adolescence at this age, so he still knows a little bit about these things.
In this way, one person and one sword chatted with their divine sense in the room without saying a word, and the atmosphere became less heavy.
After a few minutes, I saw Kong Ling strolling out of the room, she carefully closed the door, came to Chen Xuan, pursed her lips, and said softly
"That's... Please take out the medicine you have collected!"
Hearing this, Chen Xuan remembered that the medicine he picked with this little girl this afternoon was still in his storage bag, and he saw that he pinched it casually, and a back basket full of various medicines appeared in his hand, and he handed the back basket to Kong Ling.
Kong Ling took the basket, thanked him slightly, and then walked into the kitchen, I don't know what he was tinkering with, about ten minutes later, there was a smell of medicine in the kitchen.
Chen Xuan knew that this was a little girl decocting medicine for her grandfather, although he didn't know what disease her grandfather had, but he could sense that this old man's longevity was running out, and even if he was cured of his illness, he wouldn't live for a few days.
didn't think much about it, although Chen Xuan was a monk, he was powerless to return to heaven at present, after all, there was no such thing as curing diseases in the spells he learned.
When he came to the kitchen, he saw that the little girl was busy adding firewood to the stove, and at the same time there was a crockpot for decoction on the stove.
Chen Xuan stood aside and didn't speak, just quietly looked at the little girl decoction, he shook his head, and finally sighed and said to Xiao Kill
"Xiao Kill, do you think there is any way to cure her grandfather's illness?"
Although Chen Xuan knew that even if he was cured, the old man would not live long, but he looked at the little girl's determined look, his heart softened, and he still wanted to help her.
"Boy, your heart is too soft! I'm really worried about where you can go in this immortal road!"
"Okay, you just say if there is a way!"
Chen Xuan also knew that he was really soft-hearted, this was something that had nothing to do with him, but he couldn't stand it, so he decided to help, so that the tasks he had to do had been left behind by him.
After about a few breaths, Xiao Kill sent him a message again
"There is a way! It's just that you haven't practiced the wood attribute exercises, so you need to find a monk who cultivates the wood attribute exercises, and let him use the essence of the plant and refine it into an elixir, which can cure all kinds of diseases!"
Hearing this, Chen Xuan shook his head helplessly, doesn't saying this mean that he didn't say it?
Unable to think of any way, he had no choice but to return to the house, take out a futon from the storage bag, sit cross-legged on the spot, close his eyes, and begin to meditate to recover his spiritual power.
He knew that he couldn't help with this matter, and instead of continuing to struggle, it was better to recover his strength first, and don't forget that his mission was not yet complete.
