Chapter 144 Staying Away(1/2)
One hundred and ten years old, for those who live long lives, is just a journey that is neither long nor short.
However, most monks in the Qi Refining Stage will not live to this age.
When you reach the age of 100, you are considered to have reached the end of your life.
In fact, Li Erqing used the word "happy and sad" in his letter to describe Mu Xiuyun's death at the age of 110.
I didn't take it as bad news or bad news.
Lu Changan knew that under normal circumstances Mu Xiuyun would not live to be 110 years old.
It should be the longevity pill that Mu Bingyun brought back a few years ago, which kept it alive for a few more years.
Lu Changan opened Mu Bingyun's letter again, and there was a touch of sadness and reluctance between the lines.
Mu Bingyun's parents died in the war when she was young. As an orphan, she was adopted by Mu Xiuyun as the heir to the mantle.
Mu Xiuyun is considered a close relative in her heart.
"Uncle Lu, if master had left the family and pursued you, would the outcome have been different?"
In the letter, Mu Bingyun asked this.
Lu Changan silently put away the letter and did not tell her the cruel truth.
First, he had a tacit understanding with Mu Xiuyun in advance, so that they could get together easily, otherwise there would be no such time.
During his Qi refining period, he had weak means of protecting the Tao, so when he went out to build a foundation, he could only take care of himself.
Secondly, Mu Xiuyun was at the ninth level of Qi refining, and when she hit the foundation building stage, Lu Changan was only at the seventh level, lagging behind the cultivation progress of more than 20 years.
In the world of immortality, only high realms can help lower realms.
After building the foundation, Lu Changan thought of his old friendship and helped Mu Bingyun to help her build the foundation more smoothly.
By following the trend in this way, things will come naturally without affecting your own practice.
…
When Lu Changan arrived at Feiyue Lake, Mu Xiuyun's funeral had already ended.
According to Mu Xiuyun's instructions before her death, everything about the funeral should be kept simple.
Except for the Mu family, the monks from some surrounding forces either didn't know the news or didn't pay much attention to this matter.
His funeral was covered up by the news of Mu Congren's foundation construction, and he had little sense of existence.
"Brother."
"Grandpa Lu."
Li Erqing and Mu Congren were the first to greet them.
When Li Erqing celebrated his 100th birthday, his appearance changed little. He was no longer as tired as he was ten years ago. He looked more comfortable and lived a good life.
Mu Congren has an upper-middle-aged appearance, with a youthful appearance, and his temperament is calmer and more reserved than when we first met him.
He smiled, neither humble nor overbearing, and greeted his father together.
"Congren, if you are building a foundation at such an age, your achievements will definitely be better than your grandfather's."
Lu Changan praised.
Lu Changan didn't see much of Mu Congren.
But in Li Erqing's letters, he sometimes mentioned this grandson and was full of praise.
When he was young, Mu Congren was somewhat cynical and had an out-of-touch personality.
After he was established, the son calmed down and helped his grandfather manage the clan members and run the family business.
After reaching the seventh level of Qi refining, he took the initiative to go out for training.
His personal ability is undoubtedly beyond that of Li Erqing.
"Grandpa Lu praised me greatly. The younger generation has benefited from the blessings of their fathers by building the foundation. It is not as good as when you were helpless and went out to build the foundation alone..."
Mu Congren said modestly.
On the way to Yuexin Island.
Li Erqing tells the details of Mu Congren's foundation building.
After reaching the ninth level of Qi refining, Mu Congren stayed in the Liaoyuan Fairy City for nearly ten years, making connections and amassing a fortune.
Mu Congren himself also contributed a lot to the plan to build the foundation, which was relatively successful.
Finally, with the help of his parents, he purchased a low-quality foundation-building pill through the black market channels he dug.
…
Yuexin Island, mausoleum area.
In front of the tombstone, Mu Bingyun was wearing linen and mourning, her face looked slightly haggard, and she felt a little more lonely than before.
The plain white mourning clothes could not hide her pretty face and slender figure. Except for her colder temperament, she seemed to have reappeared as the gentle young lady she once was.
"Uncle Lu." Mu Bingyun stood up and bowed, her voice low and her eyes slightly red.
Lu Changan nodded, but did not say any comforting words such as condolences and resignation.
As a foundation-building monk with a lifespan of more than two hundred years, it is normal for relatives and friends around him to die one after another.
Lu Changan paid homage in front of Mu Xiuyun's grave and stayed for a long time.
The first woman with whom he was bound in this life has reached the end of her life.
He had never seen Mu Xiuyun's aging appearance, and what remained in his memory was that gentle and elegant young lady.
The impression is as good as the first time we met.
Mu Bingyun knelt down and burned the yellow paper, paying attention to Lu Changan's expression.
Lu Changan only looked a little depressed and did not show any emotions of grief, regret, or reluctance.
It is more of a kind of calmness and calmness that has passed through the years.
At this moment, Mu Bingyun felt a little uncomfortable.
In the mind of this youthful man, his master may not hold as much weight as he imagined.
Thinking rationally, she didn't find it strange.
Uncle Lu is now 110 years old, and he only had a private relationship with the eldest lady back then for a few years.
A few years of love between a man and a woman seems insignificant compared to the experience of a hundred and ten years old.
Many men and women have been in love for more than ten years, and it may only take them two years to find new love, and the old relationship will replace it and fade away quickly.
How did Mu Bingyun know that Lu Changan had experienced two more lives?
Especially in the second life, Lu Changan had many wives and concubines.
Not to mention wives and concubines, white-haired people gave away black-haired people, and their biological children and descendants were sent away batch after batch.
Fortunately, the memory of reincarnation in Jiuyin Monument is more like an immersive life movie.
Once you are separated, you will only gain more experience and knowledge, but the essence of your original intention will not change.
…
"Uncle Xiuyun, she has dedicated her whole life to the family. She has reached the second level of attainment in the talisman industry. Before she died, she left a complete and orderly talisman master inheritance to the family..."
Mu Congren accompanied him to worship and spoke highly of him.
Today, in the Feiyue Lake Mu family, talented talisman masters appear from time to time. Talisman related industries have become one of the important sources of income for the Mu family.
After Mu Bingyun established her foundation, she was successfully promoted to the second level Talisman Master and became the master of the Mu family's Talisman Arts achievements.
Due to the blessing of Fu Yi, her talent potential is even better, and her body is Miaohong. Mu Bingyun's status in the clan is slightly higher than that of Li Erqing, the founder of the Foundation.
Pay homage to Mu Xiuyun's grave.
Lu Changan stopped by Mu Yunfei's grave and took a look.
Mu Yunfei passed away a few years earlier than Mu Xiuyun, during the beast tide.
Since they were only Qi Refining monks, and due to the beast tide, the Mu family did not alert Lu Changan, the foundation-building monk.
"Mu Maode...Murenlong...Mu Xiuyun...Mu Yunfei..."
Lu Changan's mind flashed through the past figures of the Mu family.
Ninety years ago, when he first entered Feiyue Lake, the two generations of Mu family elders he met had all passed away.
…
That night, the senior management of the Mu family hosted a banquet in honor of Lu Changan.
Li Erqing, Mu Congren, and several senior officials from the Mu family's ninth level of Qi Refining accompanied him.
The previous head of the family, Mu Chengji, lived nearly a hundred years and resigned as head of the family before the beast wave.
The new head of the family, "Mu Jing", is Mu Xiuyun's great-nephew. Before he was forty years old, he was promoted by the Mu family's lineage to be the family manager.
"Brother, you might as well stay as a guest on Yuexin Island for a few days. After a while, Congren's foundation building ceremony will be held."
During the dinner, Li Erqing enthusiastically persuaded him to stay.
Lu Changan did not refuse. Since he had come all the way, there was no shortage of time.
In the evening, Lu Changan checked into the guest room on Yuexin Island.
Li Erqing came over and talked until late at night.
