Chapter Seventy-Four: Growing Old
"Dad! Mother fainted again!" Lin Nian, who had grown into a young man, found Lin Cheng with red eyes, and said anxiously to Lin Cheng, who was working.
Lin Cheng's heart was shocked, his eyes were full of pain, and he sighed helplessly, another three years have passed, Zhang Xuelan has fewer and fewer longevity, and due to the trauma of her soul, she faints more and more times.
Lin Cheng couldn't do anything, he rummaged through all the information in the entire Immortal Cultivation Realm, and still didn't find any useful information, but he could only watch Zhang Xuelan get older and weaker, even if he kept using the life energy of heaven and earth to keep her vigorous and prolonged life, but he still couldn't stop Zhang Xuelan's situation from deteriorating.
Back in the room, Zhang Mingde and his wife were already taking care of Zhang Xuelan, and at this moment they were frowning, after fainting so many times, the smile of the second elder gradually decreased, and they seemed to have sensed that something was wrong with Zhang Xuelan.
Lin Cheng sighed silently, his heart tingled, he gently picked up Zhang Xuelan and walked out of the city silently.
Zhang Ming stopped Lin Nian and didn't let him follow. The second elder sighed, they had a lot of guesses about Zhang Xuelan's situation, but Lin Cheng and Zhang Xuelan never told them, let alone Lin Nian.
Lin Nian has grown up, and now that his cultivation has reached the early stage of the innate realm, he is already a very smart person, plus his current cultivation, he vaguely knows that his mother's illness is not just a disease. It's just that even his father can't do anything, so he can only be in a hurry.
Coming to a remote mountain col, Lin Cheng gently put down Zhang Xuelan, the reason why he came here instead of going to the small hillside they were familiar with was because it had not yet recovered.
With the input of life energy from heaven and earth, Zhang Xuelan gradually recovered, her pretty face was still delicate, and everything was still like a girl.
It's just that the eyes that opened were a little cloudy, which deeply stabbed Lin Cheng's heart.
"Brother Lin, my time is running out, can I? Zhang Xuelan said blindfolded.
Lin Chengqiang smiled: "I'm here." You'll be fine. It's just a deep pain in her eyes, but she can't hide it from Zhang Xuelan.
Zhang Xuelan gently leaned into Lin Cheng's arms and murmured, "Brother Lin, you don't need to comfort me, I know what I do." Actually, I've been happy since I met you, even in the days of waiting. Especially in the past few years, I am very happy, with you, Nian'er has grown up. I'm happy and I'm satisfied. ”
After a pause, Zhang Xuelan raised her head and said sadly: "The only thing I can't let go of now is that I haven't seen Nian'er start a family yet, I don't know if I can wait until that day." ”
Lin Cheng raised his head, pressed back the pain in his eyes, and chuckled: "That kid is much more powerful than I was back then, I heard that many girls in the village are thinking of her, you will definitely be able to see him start a family." You will also see a full house of children and grandchildren. ”
Zhang Xuelan suddenly smiled coquettishly: "Nian'er is not as thick-skinned as you were back then, he still blushes when he sees other girls, how can he be like you back then...... ...... year"
Zhang Xuelan blushed suddenly and buried her head in Lin Cheng's arms. Revealing the shyness of a girl, she couldn't speak.
Thinking of the events of the year, Lin Cheng chuckled lightly and looked at the shy person in his arms. It seems to have returned to the beginning, and the sad mood seems to be much better at the moment.
Lin Cheng chuckled and said, "I'm afraid that kid is as high-minded as Lao Tzu and I were back then, I don't know when Lu Dao will find the one he likes." ”
Lin Cheng turned the exaggerated Xue Lan. Hearing this, Zhang Xuelan giggled, her eyes were full of sweetness.
Looking at the smiling beloved wife, Lin Cheng felt that his heart was bleeding, and no one wanted to bring up the sad topic at the moment, as if he had deliberately forgotten it.
Zhang Xuelan smiled for a while and said: "It's just Nian'er, he has grown up, and his mind has begun to yearn for the outside, although he doesn't say it, but I can see it." I really don't know if this is good or bad. ”
Lin Chengdao: "I shouldn't have taught him martial arts in the first place." ”
Zhang Xuelan said: "It's not your fault, he was always bullied when he was a child, I know how to do it, and I hurt him." Fortunately, this child has a good nature and does not bully the weak. It's just that the world outside ......"
This may be the contradiction between parents all over the world, thinking that their children can go out of the world and get ahead, but they are worried that their children will suffer outside and worry about them.
Thinking of his son, Lin Cheng said with some pride: "With Nian'er's current ability, this world is enough for him to go out of the world, if he chooses to go out of the world, I will also support him, men always need some life experience." It's just that I don't want him to get involved in the immortal cultivation realm, there, I don't want him to go. ”
Zhang Xuelan sighed: "I hope he can stay here safely." ”
Lin Cheng also sighed: "The child has grown up, let him do it, everything has the will of heaven, and we can't stop it." ”......
In the middle of the night, the white moonlight sprinkled the entire world, covering the world world with a layer of pure beauty.
Everyone was already asleep, and Lin Cheng stood quietly in the courtyard, a pot of wine in his hand kept pouring into his mouth.
The beautiful night did not dissolve Lin Cheng's thick sorrow, his eyes looked at the distant void, his eyes flickered, and he seemed to be doing something difficult to decide.
"Dad!" With a soft call, Lin Nian quietly walked to Lin Cheng's side and shouted softly.
Lin Cheng put down the wine jug and said softly, "Nian'er, why don't you sleep." “
Lin Nian was silent for a while and said, "Dad, I can't sleep!
Lin Cheng glanced at Lin Nian fixedly, and sighed faintly in his heart: "It's okay, you don't have to think about it." “
Lin Nian suddenly said heavily: "Dad, you are not so simple as a martial arts practitioner, are you?"
Lin Cheng glanced at Lin Nian in surprise, and didn't understand why he had just said something about his mother's mother, why he suddenly asked this again.
Lin Cheng smiled: "Is this important?"
Lin Nian said: "As my realm has reached the innate realm, I have discovered a lot of unusual things, and I always feel that you don't belong to the people of this world, and I can't see through my father's cultivation." Moreover, your miraculous means of saving your mother, the changes in our family, this is not an ordinary person's means, at least I can't imagine it, it means that you are not an ordinary person. “
Lin Cheng's eyes showed kindness and said, "No matter what kind of person my father is, I am your father, and that's enough." “
Lin Nian laughed and said, "You are my father, I am very proud!It's just that you really don't plan to tell me, father?"
Lin Cheng suddenly looked distant, looked up at the moon in the void, and said in a deep voice: "There are some things, you don't know how good the Dao is, the more you know the Dao." It's not good for you. Teaching you martial arts has exceeded my original intention, I only hope that you can live an ordinary life, peace is blessing. It's just now...... Maybe it's providence. "Since my father doesn't want to say it, I think my father is also for my good, so I won't be reluctant!" Lin Nian frowned and continued: "But I want to know what the situation is with Lu Dao Niang, I once overheard my grandparents talk about it, saying that my mother had a difficult birth at that time, and it was like this after giving birth to me." I want to know the way. Mother, she didn't become like this because of me. With that, his eyes were full of sadness and guilt.
Lin Cheng touched his son's head and sighed, "It's not your fault, child. You are the person I and your mother love the most, if you want to blame it, you can blame your father for not being able to come back in time. “
Lin Nian said heavily: "Dad, is my mother very serious?" Recently, the frequency of my mother's fainting has become more and more frequent, and I can feel that my mother's body is not as good as it seems on the surface. Father. I'm grown up, don't hide it from me anymore, okay?"
Lin Cheng sighed heavily, the child grew up. Zhilu Dao couldn't hide it from him anymore, and was silent for a long time and said: "Your mother's foundation is damaged, her soul is damaged, and something bad happened when she was pregnant with you. Now that I don't have much life, I have been replenishing her vitality, but it is useless......"
Lin Nian cried out bitterly: "What? Niang Shouyuan is not much? This is impossible." It's impossible! It's all because of children!"
Looking at Lin Nian, who blamed himself, Lin Cheng felt pain in his heart, and said: "Nian'er, my father and mother didn't complain about you, for you, everything is worth it." Therefore, you have to live well and don't live up to your mother's hard work. “
Lin Nian's eyes were hazy with tears, and she said sadly: "The child understands, but, father, is there no way?"
Lin Cheng raised his head, looked at the endless void of the distant Tianchi Mountain, and said faintly: "Maybe there will be a way, Dad will definitely find a way." “
Lin Nian suddenly raised his head, and said with a firm look in his eyes: "Dad, I want to go out of the road, I want to find a way to save my mother." “
Lin Cheng's heart moved, his eyes were worried and full of pride at the same time, the child finally grew up, and he was worried to stop it, but seeing his firm eyes, just like himself back then, although he knew that he would not find a way, but Lin Cheng didn't want to hit his heart, so he said: "You have this heart, Dad is very happy, when your mother wakes up, I'll tell her!" "Xie Lu Xie Dad!" Lin Nian's eyes were calm and unfluctuating, and Lin Cheng was relieved to see it.
The next day, after Zhang Xuelan's reluctant consent, Lin Nian, who had grown up, finally decided to go out of the city, and this small mountain village still couldn't trap him after all.
Lin Nian walked quickly, without procrastination, carrying a heavenly knife given to him by Lin Cheng, the long knife given to him by Lin Cheng's master Zhou Hong back then, can be regarded as being passed on.
Lin Nian left, leaving only a firm figure for his parents.
Erxing Qianli's mother was worried, although she knew that Lin Cheng's methods would not hurt Lin Nian, Zhang Xuelan was still very worried, and she cried for a long time before she calmed down.
Child, when you come back, I wonder if Lu Daoniang will be able to see you again?
Looking at the child's figure, Zhang Xuelan refused to leave for a long time.
On the third day after Lin Nian left, Zhang Xuelan fainted again, Lin Cheng's heart was broken, his face was haggard, and Lin Cheng seemed to be aging with him.
After replenishing her vitality, Zhang Xuelan woke up again.
It's just that the once beautiful eyes are now a dull twilight color, and the soul has become weaker and weaker, like an oil lamp in the wind, which will be extinguished at any time. Over the years, he has tried endless methods, but it still doesn't work.
Lin Cheng sighed, God can't give him a calm and ordinary life and life after all, everything can't be escaped after all, Lin Cheng showed a determined look in his eyes.
Zhang Xuelan opened her twilight eyes, and said calmly: "Brother Lin, can you take me around? Go to the place where you walked, I want to see! I don't want to stay at home anymore." “
Lin Cheng felt a pain in her heart, she understood what she meant, she didn't want to stay at home, parting with her family, she didn't want to add pain to the two old people and children.
Lin Cheng nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go with you, even if it's a wasteland, I'll accompany you!"
Zhang Xuelan smiled and leaned gently into her warm arms.
As long as you are willing to accompany me, you will be old for a moment! (To be continued......)
