The sacred tree is about to pass, and the cannon fodder's wish countdown is coming

In Qingxu Sect, Lu Shi brought back a person, a corpse.

There were already people waiting on Xinglan Peak, including Ming Changxiu, a group of elders, and several disciples.

After seeing the two of them, a group of elders surrounded them and asked Xu Chenjue about his well-being, fearing that he might be hurt.

Only Ming Changxiu walked up to Lu Shi and stared blankly at the scabbed wound on her lip, "Senior Sister, your wound..."

"It's okay, just a minor injury."

Ming Changxiu remained silent.

Is this a question of whether the injury is minor or not?

The key point is whose injury is on the lip. The wound looks like someone bit him...

Ming Changxiu was a little frightened by the thoughts in his mind, and immediately shook his head slightly to get rid of this horrible idea.

He came because he was concerned about Xu Chenjue's safety, but he also came for Lu Ciyan.

He asked with a hint of accusation, "Why did Ci Yan suddenly kidnap Chen Jue?"

He glanced at Lu Ciyan, who was still buried in Lu Shi's arms, frowned and asked, "What's wrong with him?"

Fu Xu also hurried over, out of breath, "Xinglan Daojun, what happened to Lu Ciyan?"

"You have to believe him. He definitely didn't intend to kidnap Xu Chenjue. Maybe... maybe they were just joking!"

He couldn't stop nodding, as if he had found a reason to convince himself and others.

"It's normal for brothers to joke around."

"Why don't you find out the reason before punishing him?"

"Lu Ciyan, he is..." trying to get your attention.

"he died."

"W...what?" Fu Xu's panicked expression turned dull.

"He's dead." Lu Shi repeated softly.

"It was not his intention to kidnap Xu Chenjue. He was bewitched by the demons."

"He was a hero. The spirit of the new Demon Lord possessed him. To prevent the Demon Lord from descending into the world, he committed suicide."

Everyone present suddenly became still, and no one made a sound.

"I will bury it properly."

Lu Shi carried Lu Ciyan into the cabin, ignoring the group of people behind him.

She wiped the blood off Lu Ciyan's body and changed him into clean clothes.

At this moment, he looked the same as before except that his face was a little pale.

Lu Shi suddenly stopped moving and just sat by the bed, watching quietly.

"Host, do you regret it?"

"good."

"Uh..." The system voice in my mind suddenly stopped.

What kind of answer is this?

Lu Shi leaned over to tidy up Lu Ciyan's hair and spoke slowly, "In fact, if he doesn't die today, he might die tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

"The immortal who communicated with the original owner came to see me."

"After he knew that I wouldn't do anything to Lu Ciyan, he said he would come in person."

She paused slightly, her eyes closing slightly. "It's just that I thought he would die in some accident, but I didn't expect that I would be involved in it."

After hearing this, the system was a little puzzled. "Has something gone wrong in the Immortal Realm? Why are they so eager for this Immortal Master's soul to return?"

Lu Shi's expression was also a little strange. "It is said that it was the Immortal Venerable's own request."

"It seems like he's saying he doesn't want to stay in the human world for long."

The system was speechless. "Then he deserves it."

Lu Shi shrugged, indicating that he couldn't understand it either.

The original owner, Lu Ciyan, was like this at that time. He died in an accident within a month after surviving the life-and-death crisis.

This time it was slightly different, as he died several months later.

No wonder the immortal came down personally to urge us.

After this conversation, the sadness that arose in the system's heart suddenly disappeared.

"Host, let's bury him quickly. It's unlucky."

Lu Shi nodded and said, "Alright, let's go out and find him a good place with good feng shui."

Lu Shihe and the system carefully selected and finally chose a large open space in front of the cave entrance.

"Isn't this place too close to the cave? Looking up and seeing a tombstone is bad for the heart."

Lu Shi accepted the system's suggestion and moved the position outward a dozen inches.

"This is OK."

So the man and the crane began to dig a hole with a hum.

Halfway through digging, the system raised its claws and blew on the dirt above it. "Host, are we digging with our hands and feet because it's more sincere this way?"

Lu Shi paused and said slowly: "No."

The system looked at her curiously.

"It's because I forgot I could use my spiritual power."

After hearing this, the system died.

The remaining half of the pit was quickly dug using spiritual power.

Lu Shi took out the ice coffin from the storage bag and carefully placed Lu Ciyan inside.

She also packed up Lu Ciyan's things.

At this moment, she dragged out a small box from under Lu Ciyan's bed.

There was a thin layer of dust on the box, and it seemed that no one had touched it for some time, but the roundness and peeling paint around the box also showed that the box was quite old and had been cherished by its owner.

Lu Shi couldn't help but open it out of curiosity.

The things in the box were nothing special, just a bunch of small things, like handkerchiefs, brushes, inkstones, hairpins...

These things are all mixed up, the only thing they have in common is that Lu Shi has used them.

No wonder……

Lu Shi laughed secretly.

In the past, she would always lose things, such as a brush that she had used for several years suddenly disappeared, and she couldn't find it after searching for a long time. At this time, Lu Ciyan would buy her a new one.

It is euphemistically called: "If the old does not go, the new will not come."

Every time something was lost, Lu Ciyan would replace it in time.

Lu Shi thought that he had gotten into trouble and broke something, but seeing that he admitted his mistake well, he did not expose him.

I didn't expect that this guy collected them all for himself.

He is indeed a fool.

As Lu Shi thought about it, a smile appeared on his face.

She turned and picked up the handkerchief on top.

The handkerchief was well preserved, and the white fabric showed no sign of yellowing.

Lu Shi then remembered that this was the first day Lu Ciyan arrived at Xinglan Peak ten years ago. Because he was greedy, he ate too many spiritual fruits and killed two spiritual cranes.

When she was grilling meat for him, she handed him the jade token and asked him to acknowledge its ownership by dripping blood, but he honestly bit a big hole in it and blood kept oozing out.

She healed him herself and wiped the blood off his fingertips with a handkerchief.

It seemed like he forgot to take it with him, so he left it where it was.

It turned out that Lu Ciyan picked it up.

A heavy sigh sounded in this space.

Lu Shi closed the box and prepared to put it into the ice coffin.

When Lu Shi was carrying the box out, he met Xu Chenjue.

He seemed to have arrived a long time ago, but he was just standing outside the cabin and didn't come in.

"What's wrong?" Lu Shi asked.

Xu Chenjue didn't say anything, just shook his head slightly, his eyes falling on the box in her arms.

Lu Shi explained, "These are the relics I sorted out in your senior brother's room. I'll send them to him later."

As she walked forward, she said, "Come with us and see him off for the last time."

Xu Chenjue lowered his head and followed silently, his eyes red.

Lu Shi moved the ice coffin into the newly dug pit, placed the small box in the corner of the ice coffin, and closed the lid.

The mud slowly fell, covering the delicate face and finally the body.

The pit was filled, and Lu Shibian thought about erecting a monument for him.

But she suddenly had other ideas.

She took out a seed and planted it next to the hole.

"If the tombstone is not beautiful, plant a tree."

"If you have time, come and water the plants, just consider it as accompanying him."

Xu Chenjue nodded, immediately went to fetch a bucket of water, and slowly watered the plants.

"Master."

"Hmm?" Lu Shi looked up at him.

Xu Chenjue looked at the clouds in the sky from afar. The sun shone on his body but he didn't feel warm. "I think my senior brother is right."

"He fell in love with the Master, there's nothing wrong with that."

"There's nothing wrong with him bravely expressing his feelings."

"So, why did he die?"

He seemed unable to figure it out, his thoughts had reached a dead end, and a vague gloom appeared in his eyes.

"Or is it me who is wrong? If I hadn't sworn in as Master, would Master and I still be okay?"

His brows were knitted together, and his voice was full of self-doubt.

He doesn't seem to be in the right state.

It is a precursor to the emergence of inner demons.

Lu Shi's heart tightened.

Oh my, my ancestors.

It's incredible that you little brats are so thoughtful.

Each of her two disciples has a demon in her heart. Where can she keep her face as a master?

Lu Shi let out a long breath in his heart, walked forward and looked at the clouds with him.

To be honest!

"Don't worry about it. Your senior brother is destined to have this disaster."

"Now, he is considered complete."

"Is it complete?" Xu Chenjue repeated in confusion.

"Yes, although he is dead, he is not dead."

Lu Shi continued, "He is the mortal body of an immortal who came down to earth to experience tribulation. Now that the tribulation has passed, his soul has returned to its place. You should be happy for him."

"Maybe if you try hard, you might be able to see him again after ascending."

"When you have a senior brother who becomes an immortal, I wonder how envious those immortals will be of you if you tell them about it."

Xu Chenjue's eyes became brighter and brighter as Lu Shi spoke, "I will definitely practice hard and strive to see my brother soon!"

Hearing this, Lu Shi finally felt relieved, "That's good."

"Master, you have changed a lot." He was different from his usual cold and aloof appearance.

However, Xu Chenjue smiled and said, "I also like this kind of Master."

Such a master made him feel that they were truly a family.

Senior brother has a very good eye.

No wonder it was the Immortal Lord, he saw the best one at a glance.

I don't know if Master will rekindle their relationship with her after ascending...

No, he needs to speed up his cultivation.

Otherwise, by then they would have held their wedding in the fairyland, and I would still be daydreaming here!

It was the first time that Lu Shi felt that what he said had such a great effect. Xu Chenjue seemed to have taken stimulants and started practicing without stopping for a moment.

She nodded with satisfaction.

Children can be taught!

……

However, the day that he was thinking about in his mind was not as far away as Xu Chenjue thought.

……
