I am at the highest level, living a life of eating and waiting to die in the fairy world of supernat

As he spoke, he looked at Gu Xinyue again and said, "And you too, mother. Why are your hands shaking? I'm not possessed by some old ghost. I am who I am, your son, the one you said was lazy and wanted to marry off."

After hearing Gu Jiu say this, Gu Xinyue finally relaxed and said, "Jiu, you really scared your mother and me. Your father and I kept saying every night, 'This amazing little Jiu, is he still little Jiu?' Now looking at you like this, it seems that you haven't changed much since the last time you came home."

Gu Jiu smiled and said, "Nothing has changed. Didn't I show you how to stick chopsticks into the table before?"

Gu Xinyue shook her head and said, "At that time, I thought you were at most the same level as Ningshuang, and you couldn't even compare to Xiaoxiao. Who knew you were a saint?"

When Gu Xinyue said the word "saint", her voice trembled a little.

At this time, Father Gu excitedly patted Gu Jiu's shoulder and said, "Son, I am really scared by what your mother said. Your mother asks you every night if you have been transformed by a monster or if your soul has been taken away by something. It's like a horror story, and it scares me so much that I can't sleep."

Soon, the three of them found a place to make tea and slowly started talking.

When Gu Jiu said that he was very capable at the age of five or six, and then told him how to rescue Xiaoxiao, Gu's father and Gu Xinyue were finally relieved.

It turns out that my son has always been very capable, he just kept a low profile before.

But they still couldn't understand how they could give birth to such a son.

In response to this, Gu Xinyue couldn't help but say: "Xiaojiu, do you think your father and I have the talent of cultivators? Otherwise, you, Xiaoxiao, and Ningshuang are so powerful."

Gu Jiu glanced at his mother and said simply, "Absolutely not."

Chapter 5 Inheritance

While the Gu family was preparing for the New Year, Gu Xiaoxiao and Lu Hongling were still getting closer to the tree.

Repeating the same thing for more than three months should have been boring, but because she knew how terrifying the person living there was, Gu Xiaoxiao always felt it was exciting.

But at Lu Hongling's request, they stayed fifty miles away from there, observing the situation with Lu Hongling's advanced telescope.

Lu Hongling's telescope is different from ordinary ones. It is made of a very strange crystal. It can see very far and is a rare treasure in the world.

But even when observing from fifty miles away, Lu Hongling remained cautious.

Every time she looked at the tree and the stone house under the tree, she would glance at them casually and not stay there for too long.

Because she really didn't know the man's strength, maybe the distance of fifty miles away was not absolutely safe.

After observing each other for a long time, she even knew Xi Yu's vague appearance.

Xi Yu, who occasionally appeared under the tree, looked no different from an ordinary middle-aged woman. Her hair hung down naturally, and she was dressed in simple blue clothes, like a hermit living in seclusion in the mountains.

But for some reason, every time her eyes passed by Xi Yu, Lu Hongling felt a sense of fear.

Even though the other person wasn't looking at her, she still felt uneasy, as if the person in the lens would penetrate through it.

This is also one of the reasons why she always just glances over it every time she observes it.

If Gu Jiu were to summarize this feeling, it would be as if a ghost could come through the telephone line and kill you.

Lu Hongling feels this way now. Even though they are so far away and the other party doesn’t notice her, it still makes her frightened.

You have to know that she is a master of the Mountain Moving Realm after all, and she would not be like this even when facing the pressure from a saint.

This only shows that to her, Xi Yu is really a very scary existence.

This fear was more like her instinct.

It’s like if a mouse saw a ferocious cat through this telescope, would it feel the same?

This feeling made Lu Hongling very uncomfortable, especially as her health was getting worse day by day.

On this day, Lu Hongling drew the scene she saw and handed it to Gu Xiaoxiao.

The picture is very simple, still the strange big tree, there is a house under the tree, and a woman is standing outside the house.

But whether it was psychological suggestion or some other reason, when Gu Xiaoxiao saw the woman in the painting, the hairs on her body stood up.

The woman in the picture looked ordinary, but Gu Xiaoxiao always felt that she was looking at her, and that cold and gloomy gaze seemed to be able to overflow through the paper.

Lu Hongling saw Gu Xiaoxiao's expression and said, "Xiaoxiao, don't worry too much. I brought out the fear on the paper."

"Why is this happening?" Gu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but ask.

Lu Hongling explained: "There's a saying in painting that 'conveying the spirit'. I felt fear when I looked at her, and my brushstrokes couldn't help but bring out that emotion."

Gu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but say: "Master, this man is so scary, let's go."

After discovering that even her own master was so scared, Gu Xiaoxiao's sense of security dropped sharply.

Lu Hongling, who always told Gu Xiaoxiao that her life was more important, showed no intention of leaving this time. She looked at the painting and said, "This is just my fear. Maybe it's all in my imagination and doesn't really exist."

As she spoke, she looked towards the tree again and said, "Xiaoxiao, I originally just wanted to take you for a walk this time, but I never thought that things would turn out so unpredictably."

When she said this, Lu Hongling's expression became much dimmer under the skylight.

She looked at Gu Xiaoxiao and said with some difficulty: "Your master thought he had at least ten years left to teach you many things, but recently he found that it was too late."

Gu Xiaoxiao said in fear, "Master, what do you mean?"

Lu Hongling sighed, and a few obvious wrinkles appeared on her face, which did not look old to begin with. She replied, "If I count the days, your master's remaining days are less than a hundred."

Hearing this, Gu Xiaoxiao sat down on the ground and said, "Master, are you kidding me?"

You know, Lu Hongling often likes to joke and scare her.

But this time, Gu Xiaoxiao didn't feel any joking atmosphere at all.

Lu Hongling's face looked very bad and her tone was a little heavy, as if she was making arrangements for her funeral.

At this time, Lu Hongling showed a gentle smile and said, "I was telling you about knowing your destiny a few days ago. I didn't expect that your destiny would come. It's a bit urgent and there's no way to avoid it."

Gu Xiaoxiao felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, her eyes red as she said, "This is too sudden. I can't accept it."

As she spoke, her tears fell like a lake breaking through a dam.

Lu Hongling touched Gu Xiaoxiao's head and comforted her, "It's really hard for you, my good child. I, your master, also feel a little regretful. I regret why I didn't come back more than ten years earlier. That way, I could have spent more time with you, my good child."

I don’t know if it’s because she’s too sad or for some other reason, but what Lu Hongling said is simply nonsense.

If she had come back more than ten years earlier, Gu Xiaoxiao would probably still be breastfeeding in Linshui Town, and there would be no chance for her to stay longer.

It didn't take long for Gu Xiaoxiao to wipe away her tears with her sleeves. She said seriously, "Master, I will definitely remember the skills you taught me and carry them forward."

Seeing Gu Xiaoxiao like this, Lu Hongling couldn't help but say, "What a good child. Everyone will die, even practitioners like you and me must face this problem.

I've lived for so many years, and I thought I'd made some money, even a small profit. I didn't expect that before I leave, I could teach a good kid like you something. I can even say I've made a lot of money, so I should be happy."

When she said she was happy, she really became happy.

This happiness was not fake. That optimistic spirit had long been rooted in her soul, as if it was innate.

Gu Xiaoxiao was infected by the other party and was not so sad anymore.

She even felt like she had something.

Maybe, this is inheritance.

Kung Fu can be passed down, skills can be passed down, but what is most worth inheriting about Lu Hongling is her spirit.

Fortunately, although Gu Xiaoxiao is young, she is a good successor.

At this time, Lu Hongling looked at the tree in the distance and said, "So, Xiaoxiao, your master is a little greedy and wants to make a big fortune before leaving."

Gu Xiaoxiao immediately understood what the other party meant and asked, "Master, do you want to go to that tree?"

Lu Hongling nodded and said, "We've been watching for so long, we've figured out some patterns. Xi Yu leaves on the ninth day of every month and returns on the full moon night."

Gu Xiaoxiao looked at her notes and found that today was already the 29th.

In other words, your family has already prepared for the New Year, right?

This is the nth New Year that I have spent away from home. How are my brother and family?

Thinking of this, Gu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but rub her nose and looked in the direction of the tree.

Chapter 6 Thief

Gu Xiaoxiao and Lu Hongling lived like savages for nearly three months.

In the past three months, they have not entered the village once, and have eaten and slept in the wild. Although such life is hard, Gu Xiaoxiao quickly adapted to it.

However, in the past few days, Gu Xiaoxiao was obviously a little uneasy. This was because Lu Hongling was preparing to go to the dangerous place ahead to find out the truth.

In Lu Hongling's words, ever since Xi Yu came to this Miao borderland, the entire Tang Kingdom has had almost no knowledge of her.

No one can tell how the other party came back to life and how he has lived for so many years.

The most important thing is, will she leave Miaojiang?

Miaojiang has suffered a terrible disaster because of Xi Yu's arrival. It can be said that the foundation of the Miaojiang sect has been destroyed. If Xi Yu leaves Miaojiang and enters the prosperous area of ​​Tang Kingdom, it is terrifying to think about it.

In everyone's eyes, Xi Yu is a mystery that has remained unsolved for hundreds of years, but Lu Hongling, who has never liked to act rashly, is ready to find out something, even if it's just a little bit, in the last moments of her life.

She was also very curious. She wanted to know what Xi Yu was and why she had lived under this strange tree for so many years...

They say "curiosity kills the cat." But now Lu Hongling, the cat, is not afraid of death because she doesn't have much time left.

On the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, the New Year celebrations had not yet ended in every household, and Xi Yu left the stone house again.

She leaves and comes back regularly every month, just like a woman's period.

Lu Hongling, who had witnessed all this from atop a large tree, was ready to go. While sorting out her tools, she said to Gu Xiaoxiao, "Xiaoxiao, wait for me in the banana grove forty miles away. If your master doesn't return in seven days, there's no need to wait any longer."

Then, return to the Sword Sect and learn more skills. Whether or not you become a world traveler is entirely up to you. Your Grandmaster isn't obsessed with this. Time is tight, and I haven't taught you much. If this inheritance is broken, then so be it. As the saying goes, only by living can you experience more and do more of what you want to do.

Xiaoxiao, don't waste your life."

After saying this, Lu Hongling stood up.

Gu Xiaoxiao's eyes were red, and she hugged Lu Hongling and said, "Master, Xiaoxiao can't bear to leave you."

Lu Hongling patted her head and comforted her, "Good child, you are still young. If you have people and things you like, you must work hard to fight for them. Your master lived for more than a hundred years and is very satisfied now, just because I do what I like."

Gu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but ask: "Your master, you have lived for so many years, is there a man you like?"

Facing Gu Xiaoxiao's question, Lu Hongling was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Of course, your grandmaster harmed many handsome men when he was young, which was a serious sin. The one I loved the most passed away forty years ago, so I don't have any regrets.

Xiaoxiao, all the major sects talk about cutting off the worldly desires, but your master thinks that's bullshit. Born as a human being, they can even abandon their own emotions. I don't even want to call them human beings.

After hearing Lu Hongling's words, Gu Xiaoxiao seemed to be lost in thought, and in this trance, Lu Hongling had already jumped down from the tree.

In Gu Xiaoxiao's sight, Lu Hongling, wearing a lotus leaf hat and a green dress, quickly disappeared in the greenery ahead.

It had just rained here, and the scene was full of lush greenery.

The dim sunlight projected onto the dewdrops on the green leaves, refracting a lot of light, just like Gu Xiaoxiao's somewhat sad and fragile mood at the moment.

But she quickly cheered herself up and prepared to leave.

During the time she has been following Lu Hongling, she has learned how to control her emotions.

Lu Hongling was moving through the rainforest, her figure very light and graceful.

She landed silently, leaving no footprints in the mud, like a ghost.

From beginning to end, she blended in with the surrounding greenery, and it would be difficult for anyone passing by her to notice her presence.

This concealment method is very clever. She learned it on a small island overseas called "Fusang".

It didn't take long for Lu Hongling to stop.

She swept aside a banana leaf and found that the gray stone house was only a few hundred steps away from her.

At such a close distance, even she, an experienced person, felt her heart beat faster.

Behind the stone house is the strange big tree.

Now that she was looking at it from a closer distance, Lu Hongling couldn't help but notice that the tree was much more twisted than when she saw it from a distance.

There weren't many textures on the huge upward-growing trunk, but where there were, they were very obvious.

From her perspective, the patterns made up of those textures looked like huge, desperate faces of drowning people. Just looking at them for a few seconds made people feel depressed.

At this time, Lu Hongling moved again, and was only about a hundred steps away from the stone house.

In front of the stone house is a barren lot. Surrounded by greenery, this lot is like a bald spot, very conspicuous.

Standing here, Lu Hongling can clearly see the structure and texture of the stone house.

The stone house was simple and plain, without any decoration, but it made Lu Hongling frown slightly.

Because the house looks too new.
