Starting from helping someone rob a wedding, he was forced to hide in the Sunset Sect
Chapter 350: Differences between Mortals and Immortals
North Yuanzhou, Coconut County.
Xu Yeyu came to a fruit shop. He looked at the owner and said, "Boss, give me ten coconuts!"
It was almost a year since he left Sunset Sect, and this was the first time he saw a place selling coconuts.
Xu Yeyu heard from Xia Xiaomo that coconut is a fruit that is difficult to buy.
He happened to hear someone in the neighboring county say that there were coconuts for sale, so he came to this county specifically to buy coconuts.
The boss smiled and said, "Wait a moment, young man. I'll get you ten fresh coconuts."
The boss looked at the magic sword on Xu Yeyu's waist and thought he was a disciple of the Sword Sect.
Coconut County is less than a hundred miles away from the Sword Sect, which has thousands of disciples.
Naturally, the boss had met many disciples of the Sword Sect.
The disciples of the Sword Sect are all upright and easy to talk to, and they will never bully ordinary people.
What the Sword Sect values is not the talent of its disciples, but their character and personality.
People with bad character naturally cannot become disciples of the Sword Sect.
The boss went into the storeroom.
After a while, the boss came out with a wooden box containing ten coconuts.
"Young man, these are the ten best coconuts in our store!" said the boss.
Xu Yeyu nodded with satisfaction.
These ten are all golden coconuts, which are more mature and tastier than green coconuts.
This is what Xia Xiaomo told him.
Xu Yeyu bought so many coconuts because he planned to eat coconuts and drink coconut chicken soup with Xiaomo after returning to Sunset Sect!
"Boss, I want all these coconuts. How much do I need to pay you?" Xu Yeyu asked.
This was his first time buying coconuts and he had no idea how coconuts were sold.
However, Xu Yeyu still has seventy taels of silver on him, so he doesn't have to worry about not being able to buy coconuts.
"Young man, just pay one or two taels of silver." said the boss.
Xu Yeyu took out a tael of silver from the bag and handed it to the boss, saying, "This is my first time buying coconuts, and I didn't expect it to be so cheap."
The boss took the silver and said, "Coconuts may cost several times more in other places, but coconuts are a specialty of this county, with a large output, so they are relatively cheap."
"Young man, are you a disciple of the Sword Sect?"
Xu Yeyu put ten coconuts into the storage ring and said, "I am not a disciple of the Sword Sect. Should I pay you more?"
"Young man, that's not what I meant."
The boss smiled and continued, "When the disciples of the Sword Sect come to this county to spend money, even if we don't charge them, they will still give us money. If we charge them less, they will be unhappy."
Xu Yeyu thought that Coconut County was under the protection of the Sword Sect, and that disciples of the Sword Sect would get discounts when they came to this county to spend money, just like disciples of the Sunset Sect would get discounts when they came to Youyuan Town to spend money.
"Recently, several people said they encountered the ghost of a woman at night. I thought you were sent by the Sword Sect to solve this matter." said the boss.
......
......
Xu Yeyu left the shop and came to a forest of tombstones outside the county town.
The ghost the boss was talking about is here.
Deep in the forest of tombstones, a woman stood next to a tombstone.
A man in white stood before her, holding a bouquet of fresh lilies.
The woman is a ghost and the man is a disciple of the Sword Sect.
A man placed flowers in front of a tombstone.
"I'm sorry, it took me a year to get out of a secret realm, and I didn't come to see you for the last time before you died." said the man.
The woman shook her head and said, "I don't blame you. Thank you for coming to worship me. I turned into a ghost just to see you, and now my wish has been fulfilled."
She smiled and continued, "Husband, I should go now."
The woman's figure gradually became blurred, transformed into white balls of light, and finally disappeared.
Xu Yeyu came to the man and said, "Daoyou, was that your wife just now?"
The man nodded and said, "She is my wife. The ghost that ordinary people in Coconut County are talking about is her."
Xu Yeyu didn't say anything else. Others were worshipping their wives and he couldn't disturb them.
He could tell that the woman just now was an ordinary person, not a monk.
There are some differences between monks' and mortals' ghosts.
"The life span of mortals is too short. Even if I use natural treasures to extend her life span, she can only live to seventy years old."
It was unclear whether the man was talking to himself or to Xu Yeyu.
"Before I enter the secret realm, I asked the government to help me take care of her. If she dies, please help me bury her properly."
"She often told me that my husband is a hero and shouldn't waste his time on a mortal like her. She hopes I can help more people."
"Every year I go back to the county town to spend a month with her. Whenever I go home, she smiles happily."
Xu Yeyu listened to the man silently without interrupting him.
"I was abducted by human traffickers when I was a child. My parents were stabbed to death by the traffickers in order to protect me."
"The traffickers took me to a remote village and were about to sell me when my wife showed up."
"She is a warrior. She easily dealt with the three human traffickers and saved me. After she learned that my parents were killed by human traffickers, she brought me to Coconut County."
The man smiled, but it was a little bitter.
"I asked her why she wanted to take me in, and she jokingly answered me that she was in her twenties and no one wanted her, so she wanted to keep a child husband."
"When I grew up, she took me to the Sword Sect. I passed the Sword Sect's trial tower and became a disciple of the Sword Sect."
"When I first came down the mountain and returned to the county town, she was surprised and asked me why I came back. I said I came back to marry you."
The man still clearly remembered that she almost rolled her eyes at that time.
"She told me that there is a difference between mortals and immortals. If I marry her, she will die and I will be alone."
"I don't care that she is a mortal. She saved my life."
"She said I was a hero, so isn't she also my hero?"
There is a difference between mortals and immortals. The lifespan of mortals is too short, and seventy years is very short for a cultivator.
A cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage can live to be over 150 years old, and the higher the realm of the cultivator, the longer the lifespan.
The man knelt in front of the tombstone and reached out his hand to gently stroke it.
He remembered the laughter and joy of the past.
The laughter and warmth in his memory were intertwined, leaving him with mixed feelings.
The man remembered what his wife said when he last saw her.
[I've heard you talk about inner demons. After I die, you can't cry, and you can't have inner demons because of me.]
[Otherwise I will become a ghost and haunt you, you must remember this.]
"Actually, I really hope you become a ghost and haunt me..."
A breeze blew gently through the forest of tombstones, and the breeze passed over the tombstones, causing the petals on them to sway gently.
The wind carried these words slowly away into the distance and dissipated into the vast sky.
