Chapter 948 Short Pain(1/2)
Fan Mao felt something was wrong. Just as he was about to crush the jade pendant in his sleeves, he found that his body had walked uncontrollably to the old futon.
The moment Fan Mao sat down, he knew that a monk who was at least at the top of the God Refining came to this house. His mind was turning rapidly. He thought that the other party was so cautious that he would definitely not take his life. He instead guessed that the person coming was either Qiu Yi or the old man with long-faced cultivation hidden.
Fan Mao was still worried about the thirty immortal jades he had hidden, and his eyes were blurred.
Behind Fan Mao, a middle-aged man with round face and thick eyebrows was controlling his body with his spiritual power. The man was Shi Wu who rushed over quickly after receiving the sound of the spiritual body of the heavenly tribulation.
Shi Wu, who was observing Fan Mao's memories, said in his heart: "The one who can guard the teleportation array here is indeed a human spirit."
Shi Wu held his breath and concentrated his mind, and began to erase the memories related to the spiritual cultivation of the Heavenly Tribulation in Fan Mao's mind. When he took out the storage bag that Fan Mao hid under the floor tiles in the house, he began to withdraw the spiritual power thread injected into Fan Mao's body in turn.
As the last spiritual thread located in Fan Mao's mind drew away, Shi Wu's figure disappeared in an instant.
Fan Mao, who woke up, looked worried and said, "Oh no, I messed up Manager Qiu's plan, he will definitely not increase my annual salary. He might have to find opportunities to mess with me."
Shi Wu, who had expanded his ears, confirmed that Fan Mao's memory was still in the video call with Qiu Yi. He went to a dark alley without any worries to change his shape back to his original old appearance. While changing his shape, he used the tiger tendon tones to contact the spirit body of the heavenly tribulation and said, "It's done. Where are you now?"
"Room 66, Room 3rd Floor Yuanbo Tower." The spirit body of heavenly tribulation replied.
Shi Wu said excitedly: "You wait for me, I'll come over immediately."
Shi Wu rose up in the air and flew quickly towards Yuanbo Tower.
The Tianjie Spirit sitting in the room placed two audio and video stones on the table next to it. It tidied up its thoughts, thinking about how to tell Shi Wu.
The door to the room was knocked quickly.
The spirit of heavenly tribulation stood up and opened it and saw Shi Wu with anticipation on his face.
Shi Wu noticed something wrong from the dazed spirit of the Heavenly Tribulation. He first took Lan'er on his shoulders into the room, then looked at the two audio-visual stones on the table and said, "What happened?"
The spirit of heavenly tribulation closed the door and allowed Shi Wu to use his spiritual power to create a barrier that isolates the outside world.
Shi Wu's heart was beating, and he hadn't felt this nervous feeling for a long time.
The spirit of heavenly tribulation signaled: "Sit first."
Shi Wu sat down a little hurriedly. He asked, "What happened to Fengyuan Sect?"
The spirit of the heavenly tribulation took a deep breath and said, "It's not the Fengyuan Sect's business, it's the mortal world."
"Mortal Realm? Haoran and the others?" Shi Wu clenched his fists.
The Spirit of Heavenly Tribulation nodded and said, "Yes. Xuan Haoran and his wife passed away one after another two years ago in winter."
Shi Wu was stunned as if he was struck by lightning. Even though he knew that it was probably their last time that year, he did not expect that he would hear the news of Xuan Haoran and his wife passing away so soon.
The memories of childhood could not stop popping up from Shi Wu's mind, making him feel so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe.
The Heavenly Tribulation Spirit Body and Lan'er both knew the friendship between Shi Wu and Xuan Haoran, so they did not speak out. Compared to the pale and powerless language, they wanted to give Shi Wu time to recover.
Shi Wu's eyes were red and moist, and tears kept sliding from the corners of his eyes. His face also lost the effect of changing shapes in extreme sadness, and gradually changed back to its original appearance.
After a long time, Shi Wu asked the Tianjie Spirit Body in a hoarse voice, "Who was there when Haoran and the others passed away?"
The spiritual body of the heavenly tribulation immediately replied: "Yin Yin rushed over after receiving the command signal from Xuan Kuo. Haoran was buried at that time. Yin Yin offered three incense sticks in front of his tomb. Yin Yin found Lin Jiaqiu behind him and saw that she was bedridden due to sadness. She used her spiritual power to penetrate Lin Jiaqiu's body and found that her heart veins were extremely disordered. Even though she used her spiritual power to stabilize Lin Jiaqiu's heart veins, Lin Jiaqiu would recur whenever she thought of Haoran's illness. So Yin Yin accompanied her for a while. According to Lin Jiaqiu, Haoran passed away with him in his sleep. They all guessed that Xuan Kuo went back to Xuanjia Village because of your help. Later, Lin Jiaqiu went with Haoran one night at the end of the same year."
After the spirit of heavenly tribulation was said, the room fell into a dead silence again.
As Shi Wu's natal spirit beast, Lan'er felt the sadness in Shi Wu's heart, and it also shed tears in sadness.
The spiritual body of the heavenly tribulation cannot help but think, since the deeper the relationship between people, the more painful it is when they are separated, why do people still have to establish such a deep friendship?
Shi Wu looked at the two audio and video stones on the table and said, "What's this?"
The Spirit of Heavenly Tribulation said: "The one on the left records all my encounters after I returned to Fengyuan Sect. The one on the right I specially placed it in the dark of the beam of the Fengyuan Pavilion to record the conversation between Liu Han and the others."
Shi Wu said to Lan'er on the Heavenly Tribulation Spirit and shoulders: "I want to stay alone for a while."
"You go." The spirit of heavenly tribulation and Lan'er said in unison.
Shi Wu took the two audio and video stones and quickly went out of the room of the Heavenly Tribulation Spirit without even using the method of changing shape.
Lan'er, standing on the table, said worriedly: "Brother Tianling, Haoran's death has a great blow to Shi Wu. Why don't you..."
The spiritual body of the heavenly tribulation stopped halfway when Lan'er said it, and then said: "Why not hide it from him? Actually, I had thought about it. But I finally denied this idea. The audio and video stone has recorded the news of Xuan Haoran and his wife's death. Instead of hiding it for a lot of effort, it is better to let Shi Wu accept it quickly. This is a hurdle he will go through sooner or later."
Lan'er lay on the table and thought to herself, "I want to be clear."
"It misses you very much, too." The spiritual body of the heavenly tribulation said.
Lan'er asked, "Did you send the gift to the top of Yiyue Peak?"
The Spirit of Heavenly Tribulation nodded and said, "Uncle Yuan personally opened the teleportation channel for me. I gave them those gifts with my original body. But compared to the gifts, Dabai hopes that you and Shi Wu can go back in person."
Lan'er said helplessly: "I think so. But the situation is too complicated now. Even if I want to go to the outer hidden world, I can only teleport through the space cracks like Shi Wu."
The spirit of the heavenly tribulation could not help but think of the 30,000 immortal jade consumed in this teleportation. It said with a distressing heart: "I don't need to go to the outer hidden world next time."
Perhaps influenced by Shi Wu, the master, Lan'er was also in a low mood. He said to the spirit body of the heavenly tribulation: "Brother Tianling, I feel very uncomfortable, I will adjust my breath first."
The spirit body of the heavenly tribulation nodded: "I will also go to comprehend the wisp of Hongmeng Qi. When Shi Wu recovers, I will tell him what the old immortal asked me to convey."
After saying that, the spirit of heavenly tribulation walked to the bed in the room and sat cross-legged. Shi Wu stayed in the room for nine days, until the servants in Yuanbolou knocked outside and woke up drunk. He asked through the door, "Who is it?"
The attendant of Yuanbolou said respectfully: "Guest, your room has expired at the 19th day of today. Are you still staying there?"
Shi Wu looked at the sky outside the window. It was already evening. He said to the attendant, "No need, I'll wait and check out."
The attendant of the Yuanbolou said, "Then you pack up your belongings and I will come over to clean the room in half a moment."
"I'm working." Shi Wu sealed the jar of mulberry wine left on the head of the bed and put it in the palm forest bag. He then used the tiger tendon Tongyin Pendant to contact the Tianjie Spirit Body Tao, "Tianling, we will meet outside the South City Gate."
When the heavenly tribulation spirit body, who was comprehending the wisp of Hongmeng Qi, heard Shi Wu's voice transmission, it immediately stood up and said, "Okay."
The spirit of heavenly tribulation said to Lan'er who was lying on the table: "Lan'er wake up, we're going to set off."
Lan'er stood up and said, "Shi Wu asked me to go out with you like this?"
"What about that?" the spirit of heavenly tribulation asked.
Lan'er said: "If this is the case, I will be recognized by the servants outside at once. Then he will wonder what your relationship is with Shi Wu."
The Tianjie Spirit Body frowned and said, "It seems that Shi Wu's condition is very wrong, otherwise he should have reminded me of these details."
Lan'er touched her chest and said, "He probably hasn't recovered yet. Let's take care of it ourselves. I'll hide it from your sleeve first."
"Okay!" The spirit of heavenly tribulation put Lan'er into the left long sleeve and took it out of the room.
At that time, Shi Wu had already returned the token of the city and was waiting on the Wutang River.
The afterglow of the sunset shines on the river surface of the breeze, causing the Wutang River to have a charming warm halo.
The spiritual body of the heavenly tribulation saw Shi Wu looking at the river below in a daze, and he didn't even notice it. It sighed secretly: "A man is just a human after all. As strong as Shi Wu, he will be influenced by emotions."
Lan'er saw the Shiwu in front of her from the sleeve of the Tianjie Spiritual Body, and it jumped up to Shiwu's shoulder.
Shi Wu retracted his thoughts and said, "You are here."
Lan'er couldn't help asking, "Are you better?"
Shi Wu nodded and said, "It's much better. Do you want to go into the original town? The third stronghold of the Northern Spiritual Federation is still very far away from here."
Lan'er didn't want to affect Shi Wu, so he agreed: "Then you should notify me directly with your heart sound if you have any questions."
"Yeah." Shi Wu said, then he took Yuanxiang out of the dark blue cloak. After turning on the spell, Lan'er jumped in directly.
The spirit of heavenly tribulation waited until Shiwu General Yuanxiang put it away before he spoke: "Xiao Lan'er is still too simple."
"It doesn't have to be affected by my emotions." Shi Wudao.
The spirit of heavenly tribulation looked at Shi Wu with a drunken face and said, "You have been drinking these days?"
"Yes." Shi Wu admitted.
The spirit body of the heavenly tribulation said, "Shi Wu, I have always had a question to ask you since I came back from the outer hidden world."
Shi Wu looked at the heavenly tribulation spirit and said, "You ask."
"If you were asked to choose again, would you still be willing to meet Haoran?" said the Spiritual Body of Heavenly Tribulation.
Shi Wu said without any hesitation: "I do."
"Even if you know you have to endure such pain?" the spirit of heavenly tribulation emphasized.
Shi Wu said firmly: "The final separation really makes me feel uncomfortable, but the memories between Haoran and me are enough to comfort the heartache caused by the separation."
"When Haoran left, he probably had the same idea as you." The Heavenly Tribulation Spirit Body said.
Shi Wu raised his head and looked away and said, "I have also been thinking about a question these days. What will happen in the end of my life? Is it the time to return to the clearest momentum or as confused as I was in my old age. Is it the appearance of vicissitudes and wrinkles when I grow old or the spirit of being in my prime when I was young? Can you see the past and say it, this will be like this for a lifetime? Or will it completely dissipate in the world, and at this point it is only retained in other people's memories."
The spiritual body of the heavenly tribulation was silent because it didn't know the answer. It looked at the sunset in the distance, and suddenly the words that Uncle Yuan asked it to bring to Shi Wu came out in his mind: "If you go, you will go, don't force it."
"If you go, you will go, don't force it?" Shi Wu repeated.
The spiritual body of the heavenly tribulation said: "This is what Uncle Yuan asked me to bring to you."
Shi Wu said, "Is he okay?"
"He and Dabai are all well on Yiyue Peak. Dabai seems not interested in those spiritual fruits. After searching, it opened the spiritual meal jade box, picked up the spiritual rice steamed buns inside and chewed them. Uncle Yuan still spoiled it as usual, and even personally poured a bowl of blue jade spiritual liquid for it." The spirit body of the heavenly tribulation said.
Shi Wu imagined the scene: "Lan'er must want to go back."
The Spirit of Heavenly Tribulation said: "It can only pass down from the space crack with you in the future."
