Master is too ambitious

It was late at night, and a crescent moon was hanging obliquely in the sky, as if it would fall at any moment.

Ji Qian and Su Feng came to the yard of Zhang Que'er's family quietly. A small banner appeared in Ji Qian's hand, which was the Banner of Acting Justice on Behalf of Heaven. He waved the banner gently, and a black aura dissipated. The surroundings became even quieter, and even the dog fell silent.

Using his spiritual sense to explore, he came to the west wing. The old lady was lying there, seemingly sleeping soundly. But just as Su Feng reached out to grab her, her eyes suddenly opened and she said, "Rebellious son!"

Su Feng's mind was disturbed and he fell into pain. Suddenly, his mind became clear and he immediately recovered. He asked in a stern voice, "You are not my mother, who are you?"

The old lady sat up at this moment, her eyes glowing red in the dark night, and said, "You are just in the Qi Induction Stage, and you want to get rid of me?"

Su Feng said, "You are indeed not my mother." After that, he flicked his finger, and dozens of white lights flashed and went towards the old lady.

The old lady was not in a hurry. She opened her mouth and sucked the white light away. She sneered and said, "That's all you can do."

A small banner lit up, and Ji Qian waved the "Tian Xing Dao Banner". Two streams of black and white energy emerged from the banner and rushed towards the old lady. The old lady was surprised and said, "You are in the Jindan stage!"

The black and white aura came in front of the old lady in a blink of an eye. Her eyes glowed red, and she pushed her hands forward. A stream of red true energy appeared in her palms and faced the black and white aura. However, this wisp of divine consciousness was ultimately of low cultivation, and was swallowed up by the black and white aura layer by layer. Suddenly, a red light flashed on the old lady's body, and a figure flew out of her body and escaped towards the door.

Ji Qian took out the Book of Life and Death, and the Book of Life and Death flipped through the pages. However, the figure paused for a moment, and then disappeared into the sky at a speed that Ji Qian could not catch up with.

In the distant underworld, someone opened his eyes, snorted and laughed, and said contemptuously: "I remember the golden elixir of the way of life and death."

Having lost that ray of spiritual consciousness, the old lady collapsed. Su Feng rushed forward to check on her, only to see that her breathing was weak and she would not live long.

Su Feng held her and called out anxiously, "Mother!"

The old lady's eyes could no longer be opened and her breathing was weak. She opened her mouth and tried to speak. Su Feng quickly fed her a resurrection pill. Ji Qian watched helplessly. Separation between life and death is the most heartbreaking thing.

".......sorry....."

The pill dissolved in the old lady's mouth. She struggled to utter three words, tears slowly sliding down the corners of her eyes.

Blame her for being too timid. After her husband's death, she was depressed all day and dared not face the reality. Blame her for being too naive. She believed the words of the strange man who suddenly appeared, which caused her body to be invaded, her son to be suppressed and move far away, and her daughter to mistake the thief for her mother.

The old lady held Su Feng's hand tightly, took two breaths, and then slowly loosened her hand.

“Mother?!” Su Feng called out, but the old lady could no longer respond to him. Her breathing gradually became weaker and weaker, and she gradually died. Su Feng cried out in grief, “Mother!!”

Su Feng hugged the old lady tightly, his shoulders trembling slightly, and he could no longer hold back his tears. Ji Qian sighed and could only pat him gently. The pain of losing a loved one could not be comforted by a few words from others. This was the only way to tell Su Feng that he was still here with him.

The sky gradually brightened.

"Disciple, it's time for us to leave." Ji Qian reminded as he looked at the sky which was gradually getting brighter.

Su Feng was stunned for a moment after hearing this. After a while, he took a deep breath, calmed down, slowly put the old lady down, covered her with a quilt, and then tidied her temples. He just looked at her for a while, and finally stood up and said, "Master, let's go."

Seeing that he was reluctant to leave, Ji Qian wrote a line with the pen of life and death in his hand, and then the two of them disappeared.

They watched from the sidelines as Zhang Que'er happily came to treat the old lady to porridge in the morning, saying that she had bought her mother's favorite snacks, only to find out that the old lady had passed away. She screamed in disbelief, and immediately stumbled to find Zhang Tiezhu, crying. The two cried in front of the bed for a long time before Zhang Tiezhu went out to inform relatives and friends, leaving Zhang Que'er sitting in front of the bed crying.

The first day was the wake, the second day was the resting day, and the third day was the burial. Zhang Que'er lost his appetite and became very thin because of the old lady's death. Su Feng watched in secret and sighed in his heart. It seemed that this divine thought was really good to Zhang Que'er, but he could not forgive it for that.

After the funeral procession had left, Su Feng showed up. He burned a lot of paper money in front of the grave, then knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Mother, I don't know if this is right for you, for me, and for my younger sister, but I did it anyway. I just hope you won't blame my younger sister for not protecting her." He watched the paper money slowly burn, was silent for a long time, and said, "I'm leaving now. I'll come to see you later."

Ji Qian was waiting for Su Feng in the distance. He had been watching the funeral these days. Looking at the spring scenery in the fields, he thought that if his mother had passed away, she might not be as calm as Su Feng at this moment. He suddenly smiled and thought, it's a good thing that I died first, and sighed slightly. Looking at it this way, he realized that he was really selfish.

Su Feng returned to Ji Qian, bowed and said, "Master, I have said goodbye to my mother."

Ji Qian looked at him and saw that although he looked sad, he was still in good spirits. He said, "If you have time in the future, come back and see us again."

Su Feng felt relieved after hearing what he said. He bowed and said, "Master, thank you for always being with me."

Ji Qian smiled and said, "I don't know how to comfort you. If accompanying you can make you feel a little better, this is the best I can do."

Su Feng was actually quite surprised to hear this. This didn't sound like what a master said to his disciple, but more like a conversation between good friends. He looked at Ji Qian in surprise, then bowed and said, "I am already very satisfied that Master can accompany me."

Ji Qian said, "Now that we have finished our business here, why not come with me to visit our old friend?"

Su Feng knew that Ji Qian had practiced in the human world, but that was more than 300 years ago. He actually had an old friend. He asked, "Does anyone practice in this human world?"

Ji Qian just smiled and said, "Let's go, you'll know when you get there."

After saying this, he rolled up his sleeves and disappeared into the spring scenery with a solemn breeze.
