As expected, Mr. Qi finally returned. It's a long time coming, but it's better than never seeing each other again.

Meng Ran happily went to visit, but found that Mr. Qi's face was not very good-looking, as if he was seriously ill.

Meng Ran asked worriedly, "Sir, are you okay?" Your face is not very good-looking, are you sick? Do you want to find a doctor to take a look?"

Meng Ran's series of questions made Mr. Qi laugh, and Mr. Qi shook his head: "Isn't there an old saying, if you are not a good look, you are a good doctor, why should I go to the doctor to see a doctor, isn't it riding a donkey to find a donkey?"

Meng Ran scratched his head: "Then sir, take a look at yourself, see where you are uncomfortable, and take care of it." ”

Mr. Qi touched Meng Ran's head and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's just that I've been on the road for too long, and I'm a little tired, just take a break." ”

Meng Ran also listened to it.

In the next few days, Meng Ran accompanied Mr. Qi every day, talked with him to relieve his boredom, and read some idle books with him.

Although the days have passed, Mr. Qi's face has not been very good.

One evening, after dinner, Mr. Qi took a walk in the courtyard, and Meng Ran followed quietly.

"Ran'er, what do you want to do in the future?"

Faced with Mr. Qi's sudden question, Meng Ran was a little overwhelmed, and then fell into deep thought.

Mr. Qi didn't urge, just looked at his disciple with a smile and looked very satisfied.

"Sir, I haven't figured it out yet, and I don't know what I want to do in the future. But I think I will love to read and travel the world in the future. ”

"Hahaha, you kid, you have a good idea. It's just that the world is not very peaceful now, how can you ensure your safety?"

Meng Ran tilted his head: "Then... By the way, I heard my father say that you are a disciple of the Taoist Sect, you can teach me Taoism, so that I don't have to be afraid of those bad people. ”

Mr. Qi frowned: "What did your father tell you about me?"

"I didn't say anything, I just said that you are a disciple of the Dao Sect, and the Dao art is unpredictable, so I don't have to worry about your safety. ”

Mr. Qi asked rhetorically, "Oh, are you worried about my safety?"

Meng Ran scratched his head: "After my father said that you are very powerful, I will not be worried." After all, you are so powerful, no one can hurt you. ”

Mr. Qi touched Meng Ran's head and said, "This Divine Continent has a population of tens of thousands, who dares to say that he is invincible in the world? ”

"Sir is not old at all. I also had a dream before, in which Mr. took me on a tour of mountains, rivers and lakes. ”

Mr. Qi stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Then do you want to learn those Taoist techniques?"

"Of course. Meng Ran danced and said, "Once I learn it, I can do what I want to do." ”

Mr. Qi restrained his smile: "Ran'er, do you know that nothing in this world is free, and no one can do what they like to do as they like. ”

"And what if I'm invincible?"

Mr. Qi was amused by this childish words: "If you are invincible in the world, there is still a general trend in the world pressing you." Even if you don't care, there's still a pressure on you above your head. ”

"The general trend of the world?" Meng Ran looked puzzled.

Mr. Qi sighed: "To put it simply, although this world is the world of the common people, it is the Liang royal family that is now in charge. Although the people of the world are not living very well, it has not reached the level of poor living. At this time, even if you are invincible in the world, you can't slaughter the Liang clan completely! If you do that, you are a murderer, a demon, and the enemy of the whole world. The history books of later generations will also include you in the biography of the people, and you will be infamous through the ages. That's the trend. ”

"Even if you don't care about your name before and after your death, you don't mind this infamy through the ages, but there is a cause and effect in the dark, you kill people for no reason is the cause, full of anger, and luck regression is the result, there will eventually be thunder coming, and then you must die. ”

When Meng Ran heard this, he said that he was about to faint: "Sir, it turns out that you can't do whatever you want after being invincible in the world." ”

Mr. Qi said solemnly: "Ran'er, no matter whether the force is strong or not, you must be kind, even if the world treats you with malice, you must treat you gently." We must not engage in murderous intentions or evil thoughts. ”

"And what if someone else wants to kill me?"

"Whoever kills, man will always kill him. Zi said, repay virtue with virtue, and repay grievances with straightforwardness. ”

"The disciple understood. ”

Although Meng Ran didn't understand it very well, he still firmly remembered what Mr. said.

After a while, Meng Ran snapped his fingers and asked Mr. Qi, "Sir, you are so powerful, how many can you rank?"

Mr. Qi smiled bitterly: "I, I have been learning the Tao for decades, but I am only a personal immortal realm, and I am not a master." ”

Meng Ran looked curious: "What is a human immortal?"

Mr. Qi smiled, and then said solemnly: "Human immortals are a kind of realm. On the Shenzhou Continent, there are a total of two realms. The human realm is the nine realms of mortals, each realm is divided into the early stage, the middle stage, the late stage and the Great Perfection, nine is the most, and the fairy realm is the three realms of heavenly immortals, earth immortals, and human immortals, each realm has nine heavens, and the nine heavens are the most. ”

"How many heavens are gentlemen and immortals?"

"It's just six heavens. ”

"So who is the number one in the world now?"

"The one who holds the head of the bull in the world is, of course, the Taoist sect in charge. ”

"Then is he the Heavenly Immortal Nine Heavens?"

"It's not. It is rumored that the sect is already the Nine Heavens of the Earth Immortals, and if you go further, you will be a Heavenly Immortal, but you can enter the Heavenly Immortal Realm, and they are all talents, and there are very few. ”

"Then there is no Heavenly Immortal Realm now?"

"Probably not. In the past, Hongjun Dao Ancestor ruled that the Heavenly Immortal Realm must ascend to the Immortal Realm, and he must not stay in the Divine Continent, unless someone can curb his cultivation and lock himself firmly in the Earth Immortal Nine Heavenly Realm. ”

Meng Ran suddenly realized: "That means that the Daoist Sect is invincible today?"

Mr. Qi looked up at the moon: "That's not likely." As for the reason, if you cultivate in the future, you will understand. ”

Meng Ran sighed: "Then who is more powerful now?"

"In addition to the Taoist sect, it belongs to the sword sect master Huangfu Xuan, and then it is the first seat of the Taoist Discipline Division, the abbot of the Great Buddha Temple, and the commander of the Imperial City Division. The rest, not worth mentioning. ”

Meng Ran was a little excited, he finally came into contact with the unknown world outside.

Mr. Qi interrupted his fantasy: "Ran'er, the outside world is not as beautiful as you imagined, it is a cruel and indifferent world. As a teacher, I only hope that you can be as happy and happy as you are now without troubles, and I hope that you will walk out of half your life and return as a teenager. ”.

Meng Ran seems to understand whether he understands or not.

After that, Mr. Qi reopened the class, and Meng Ran followed suit.

The days go by.

I thought that life would continue to be so dull, but it was broken by a sudden incident.

During the one-day teaching, Mr. Qi suddenly fainted, which scared Meng Ran into tears, and then a little girl called Mrs. Meng, and Mrs. Meng immediately sent someone to find the best doctor in the county, and even Meng Hao, who was busy with official business in the yamen, was also called back.

With a burst of heavy and powerful footsteps, it was the housekeeper Fu Bo who invited Dr. Li from Renshoutang in this county.

Dr. Li took the pulse, rolled Mr. Qi's eyelids again, probed his breath, and said, "Who is this from the Meng Mansion?"

Meng Hao hurriedly replied: "Brother Qi is my friend and Mr. Enlightenment of the dog. ”

Doctor Li shook his head and sighed: "Master Meng, let's prepare for this gentleman." ”

"What?" Meng Hao was taken aback: "A few days ago, Brother Qi was fine, but his face was a little bad, why do you have to prepare for the future? Could it be that you made a mistake in diagnosis?"

Doctor Li's face darkened, and he was about to get angry, so he took a deep breath and said, "Master Meng, the old man has been a doctor for thirty years, and he has never misdiagnosed, please trust the old man's judgment." ”

The slightly cold tone from Dr. Li's mouth woke up Meng Hao, and Meng Hao hurriedly apologized: "Doctor Li, it's me who doesn't choose what to say, forgive me, I hope Dr. Li understands." Brother Qi has been friends with me for many years, and the relationship is so deep that I am too emotional, forgive me. ”

Dr. Li shook his head: "It's okay. That's all I have to say, I just hope that Lord Meng will mourn. ”

Meng Hao hurriedly said, "Do you want to grab some medicine and give it to Brother Qi?" He may just be unconscious. ”

"Just look at him like that, his eyes are sloppy, his pulse is weak, and although he is still alive, he is not far from death. Dr. Li said that there is no cure: "His body has been severely injured, and there is no damage on the surface, but the meridians and internal organs have been exhausted, and it is not easy to live in one breath." Even if I prescribe medicine to him, it will only be a waste of medicinal materials. ”

Meng Hao was still stunned, and before he could speak, someone spoke.

Meng Ran burst into tears: "Doctor Li, since Mr. is not dead yet, you can prescribe some medicine for him." ”

"Whatever, it doesn't matter if you eat it or not. ”

In the end, Dr. Li couldn't resist Meng Ran and wrote a prescription to Mr. Qi.

After the medicine was caught, Meng Ran ran to the kitchen and urged the servants to start decocting the medicine.

At the door of the kitchen, on the smoking stove, there was a pot of decoction of medicines, and the boiling water drove the herbs to tumble in the pot, and bursts of bitterness spread in the air.

Meng Ran watched as the servant put aside the foam in the medicine pot, poured out a large bowl of black medicinal juice, and brought it to Mr. Qi's house on a plate.

The servant fed Mr. Qi medicine, and the bitterness filled the air, souring Meng Ran's eyes, and tears flowed endlessly.

At night, Meng Hao's father and son didn't dare to sleep soundly, and took turns to stay in front of the bed, afraid that Mr. Qi would wake up and have any needs.

The next morning, Mr. Qi slowly woke up with a heavy ** sound.

"Sir, you have finally woken up, and you thought you would never wake up again. Meng Ran cried a little aggrieved.

Mr. Qi tried to open his mouth: "Ahem, silly boy, how could a teacher die so easily." ”

"But when you fainted, Dr. Li from Renshoutang said that you had no medical treatment. ”

"Hehe, what are you afraid of? Sir, I've lived for so long, how can I still be afraid of death. ”

"Sir, I'm afraid. I'm afraid I'll never see you again. As soon as the words came, there was a burst of crying, and the sadness in the belly turned into a fountain of tears.

Mr. Qi stretched out his hand with difficulty and gently stroked Meng Ran's hair: "Silly boy, who is not dead?"

"As long as you can face your life calmly when you die, that's enough. ”

Meng Ran didn't understand, and he didn't want to understand, he just hoped that the people and things he cared about would never be separated from him.
