The Lone Walker

"Hahaha, congratulations to both of you. You have completed your merits and can become immortals. It is really cause for celebration..." Chen Fan said with a smile as he looked at the expressions of the grandfather and grandson.

At this moment, the grandfather and grandson looked at each other, they understood clearly that they had met an almighty powerful being. Otherwise, how could they both ascend to heaven in just the time it took to eat a meal? Moreover, this method of becoming immortal was simply unheard of.

"Excuse me, Immortal, what did we just eat?" After all, the old ginseng spirit was experienced. After realizing what was happening, he asked hurriedly.

Chen Fan did not answer. He waved his hand, and a dragon head and phoenix claws appeared above the Xuantian Cauldron. The old ginseng spirit was shocked when he saw this and said, "My lord, this... is this... a dragon and a phoenix?"

"Yes, this is the Dragon and Phoenix Soup. How is it? It tastes good, right? It's also thanks to your hair and beard, otherwise the taste would be much worse!" Chen Fan said with narrowed eyes, staring at the hair and beard that had just grown back on the old ginseng spirit.

Chen Fan's eyes scared the old ginseng spirit back half a step. He dared not speak anymore. As the golden light became stronger and stronger, the figures of the two people became gradually transparent.

"My lord, no matter what, this kindness is greater than heaven. I know that my magic power is low and I may not be able to help you in any way. As long as you need my hair, I will offer it to you with both hands!"

Seeing that his grandfather and grandson were about to leave, the old ginseng spirit once again cast a spell to cut off most of his newly grown hair and beard and threw it to Chen Fan, who took it.

When the two disappeared, he cast a spell to imprint a trace of his magic power on their brows, so that even if they reached heaven, they would live a more comfortable life.

……

Chen Fan was full at this moment, so he took out a small spaceship from his storage ring and placed it where it was.

He then opened the hatch and went in to rest. Although he could also cast spells to build or transform things on the spot, it was not as comfortable to use as ready-made things.

“Master, Master…” He didn’t know how long he slept until a shout woke Chen Fan up. He saw a man emitting a ghostly aura standing in front of Chen Fan and calling out in a low voice.

"Hmm?" Chen Fan looked at the person who came with sleepy eyes.

"Oh shit, Huang Quan?? When did you die?" Chen Fan asked in surprise when he saw the person coming.

The man's mouth twitched when he heard this, and he responded honestly: "Master, according to the saying in the world of the living, I have just been dead for a year..."

"Alas, I've told you everything. You are too soft-hearted. Don't act on impulse. Look, you're going to die." Chen Fan said helplessly.

Hearing this, the man sighed and said, "Master, what I am teaching you is that I was too soft-hearted and fell for the trick of the thousand-year-old purple bat spirit, which is why I am destined to die..."

"Well, you were born with the appearance of a ghost and your life span is short. I taught you Taoism just for the sake of convenience. Judging from your appearance, you should have found a good job in the underworld by now..." Chen Fan looked at the man and said sincerely.

"Yes, I have hated evil all my life and killed countless evil demons. King Yama remembered my merits, and with the unique mark of my master, I am now the judge of the underworld..." At this moment, the man seemed to remember the day when he first met Chen Fan, and said with some reminiscence.

……

Sixty years ago, Chen Fan passed by a place called Huangjia Village and saw villagers trying to burn a child of seven or eight years old. The child had different colored eyes, gray hair and a dark face. Faced with such a situation, he did not cry or make a fuss and let the villagers do what they wanted.

After some casual calculations, Chen Fan discovered that the other party actually had a master-disciple relationship with him. In addition, the other party's physique was different from that of ordinary people. If he practiced, he would definitely get twice the result with half the effort. So he felt a desire to love his talent, rescued him, accepted him as a disciple, and named him "Huang Quan".

After Chen Fan's careful training, Huang Quan had already reached the realm of the early stage of earthly immortal in just ten years. He could use all kinds of magic at will and became a glorious constable. So Huang Quan prepared to bid farewell to Chen Fan...

Seeing that Huang Quan had no magic weapon to protect himself, Chen Fan refined the official seal in his hand again. Since Chen Fan had the golden seal of Buddhism bestowed by the Buddha, he drew out the spiritual energy from it and infused it into Huang Quan's official seal.

In this way, this official seal, blessed by the true Dharma of Buddhism, has the power to subdue demons and monsters. Once it is stamped on the chest of a demon, no matter what kind of demon you are, you will be reduced to ashes...

This also made Huang Quan famous in the future, and all the demons and monsters were terrified when they saw him.

It is worth mentioning that when he met Huang Quan again thirty years ago, he happily told Chen Fan that he had accepted an apprentice and asked Chen Fan to help train him when he was free...

But unexpectedly, when they met again, Huang Quan was already dead. Fortunately, Chen Fan had calculated his fate in advance and found that he was born with a ghost appearance and was born to serve the underworld after death, just like Xu Shilin, the reincarnation of Wenquxing. Even if he died, it was just a new beginning, so Chen Fan did not interfere too much with his original life trajectory...

……

"Since you are dead, why are you looking for me?" Chen Fan asked at this time.

"Haha, to be honest with you, Master, I am fine. But my disciple, your useless grandson, needs your careful attention. I know that you have great powers. I believe that if I can give your grandson some pointers, it will be enough to benefit him for the rest of his life..."

Huang Quan said with a smile at this moment. It was at this moment that he felt how unfathomable Chen Fan was. Moreover, he was now the judge of the underworld, but he could not find Chen Fan's name in the Book of Life and Death.

According to King Yama, only a few powerful people can be free from the suffering of reincarnation. Among them are Guanyin Bodhisattva, Jade Emperor, Buddha Tathagata and other top figures of many forces. Only they can have this honor.

"Oh, well, it's better for you to die and put an end to everything. Leave the mess to me, your master, to clean up. The world is really going downhill..." Chen Fan laughed and scolded when he heard this.

"Who made you, Master, so powerful and immense..." Huang Quan said with a smile.

For a long time, neither of them spoke any more, there was only silence.

"Master, I won't be able to serve you anymore in the future. I hope you take care of yourself. I will never forget your kindness in teaching and saving my life..." At this moment, Huang Quan suddenly knelt down on the ground, kowtowed heavily to Chen Fan several times, and said.

“There’s no need to do that. Just don’t blame your master. After all, if you didn’t embark on the path of cultivation, you would have at least another 20 years of life left, and naturally you wouldn’t end up like this…” Chen Fan was also somewhat moved when he saw this.

"Master, what you said is nonsense. If it weren't for you, I would have died long ago. If it weren't for you, how could I have all these skills? If it weren't for you, even if my soul returned to the underworld, I could only be a ghost messenger at most. How could I be a judge..." Huang Quan said in a deep voice.
