Chapter 228: Losing a Loved One - The Flying Carriage
"Qing'er, my grandfather can take your elixir to stay alive, but how long can you save my grandfather?"
"Grandpa..." Yan Qing was stunned.
"Qing'er, there are several people in our Yan family who are cultivators of immortality. My grandfather is not ignorant."
Since the cultivators stepped into the innate world, they no longer have a destiny in the world, which means that after death, the soul will not live in the underworld like Pei Xing's wife did, but will disappear after death.
If a mortal takes an elixir of general effect, there is no problem if it just prolongs life or preserves one's appearance. However, if a person is already dying and uses an elixir to extend his life, it is equivalent to escaping the mortal's life and death. No matter how long he can live in the future, his soul will
They cannot enter the underworld again, and their souls will be scattered like the cultivators.
Yan Qing was silently stepping aside. His grandfather was right. He wanted to extend the lives of his mortal relatives only because of his inseparable feelings for his relatives. This was actually another kind of selfishness.
For cultivators, ascending to immortality is the beginning of another new life, which can also be said to be a more advanced life.
Similarly for mortals, the soul entering the underworld is also the beginning of another new life. She knew this through Pei Xing.
Therefore, instead of leaving your loved ones in the world for only a few years or more than a dozen years, and eventually leaving them in despair, it is better to let them start another life, and although they will never see each other again, they know that the other person is alive in another world.
Just now, everyone in the Yan family came to the old master's room. First, Yan Xi was waiting for his son and wife, then Yan Qingzheng, Yan Songzheng and other grandchildren.
Of course, the grandchildren who had children were also brought over for the old lady to see them.
Mrs. Yan was sitting in the hall with a sad face, surrounded by her four daughters-in-law.
The old couple had respected each other as guests all their lives, and the sudden collapse of Mrs. Yan made Mrs. Yan's spirit feel weak.
Yan Qing was walking out of the room and standing in the yard, feeling depressed.
She suddenly felt her own incompetence again, and felt even more the ruthlessness of heaven.
Just like when she could only watch Yan Shuangyu die, she was powerless.
Rong Che followed her worriedly and saw her quietly lowering her head and looking at the ground for a while, then suddenly raised her head to look at the sky.
"Rong Che, tell me... what's the use of cultivating immortality?" she murmured.
Rong Che didn't say anything, he just stretched out his hand and put it on her shoulder, silently comforting her.
"No wonder cultivators have to cut off their earthly ties, no wonder cultivators don't marry mortals..." Yan Qing was raising his head but couldn't stop the tears from falling.
She had just checked her grandfather's body in the house and found that he was completely exhausted, so she suggested that he take a life-prolonging elixir.
But was rejected.
"Qing'er, cultivators are the same as ordinary people. They all suffer from aging, illness and death. The only difference is the length of time." Rong Che couldn't bear to see his wife so hesitant and self-blame, so he spoke.
"I know..." Yan Qingzheng lowered his head again and said softly: "But I know I know, I still want to do something with my cultivation."
Rong Che sighed, Yan Qingzheng was stuck because he had too little experience.
When a mortal dies and enters the underworld, he or she goes to another world, which is fundamentally the same as the world of immortals for cultivators.
It's just that mortals usually die unwillingly, but cultivators are willing to ascend ascension.
Rong Che was not very good at persuading others. He had gone to the battlefield to supervise battles at a young age, and had also used his martial arts skills to force his way into the battlefield, so he was used to seeing life and death.
However, when a loved one passed away, any warm persuasion would be of no use, so he could only gently hold his wife's shoulders and comfort her silently.
Three days later, Mrs. Yan finally passed away.
Before his death, the emperor and the prince also came over to visit.
After taking care of the funeral of old master Yan, Yan Xi and Nalan Lianyue said they wanted to stay with their mother for a while, so they asked Yan Qingzheng and others to leave first.
Who knew that before they had finished packing their luggage, Mrs. Yan also left with them.
Yan Xi suddenly lost his parents and was very depressed.
After a year of going back and forth, Yan Qingzheng, Rong Che and others returned to the other courtyard.
Yan Xi and his wife stayed in the capital for the time being.
Naturally, Tong Yao had gone back a long time ago, and now she was living in another courtyard with peace of mind.
She still has not changed her original intention. She only hopes that the emperor will visit her occasionally and does not want to enter the palace as a concubine.
The mountain gate of Miaoer Mountain has been built, and a lot of open space has been reserved for expansion.
Duo Yue's letter from Fei Jian mentioned that the improvement of Tianyi Sect had achieved initial results, and asked Yan Qingzheng when the new sect would be officially established. If she couldn't come, she would send someone to congratulate her...
Yan Qingzheng wrote back and said that the name has not been decided yet, and it may not be established for a while.
After a few days, Rong Che saw that her mood was still not good, so he asked: "It's not that I haven't thought of a name. In fact, it's because you haven't been able to cheer up recently."
Yan Qing nodded sadly. Her grandparents passed away one after another. Even though a year had passed, she still had not gotten over the pain. Therefore, the matter about the sect could only be put on hold for the time being.
Rong Che just wanted to take her around to take a look and relax.
"But this big stall over here..." Yan Qing was just thinking about letting it go when he came back.
"Anyway, if there's anything urgent, we can play while walking. We won't delay anything when we come back in a year and a half."
"Uh..." Yan Qing was hesitant.
"Senior Jin Mang is here..." Rong Che said.
Yan Qing was a little moved, but then he said sheepishly: "Let's go to Xiaoyao, but leave Sister Jin Mang here, okay?"
"I think Senior Jin Mang needs to be a little busier."
Yan Qing just thought about it and realized that Rong Che had two intentions. One was to make Jin Mang busy and temporarily forget all the entanglements with Baili Xiyi. The other was to give Jin Mang an elder in the new sect in the future.
Due to her status, the more she participates in the construction of the new sect, the more beneficial it will be.
"Okay, let's go sightseeing!" Yan Qingzheng also cheered up.
After explaining to Jin Mang and others, the two set off.
"Qing'er, have you ever been to other countries?"
"I have left Fengrong before, but most of them are Xuanmen's territory. I have never been to other mortal countries."
"Then let's go take a look?"
"OK."
"The closest one is Chuya Country. Should we go there and have a look?"
"Chu Ya Country?" Yan Qing was thinking about it for a moment, then nodded and said, "Is that a subsidiary country of Feng Rong?"
"Um."
"good."
The two of them took a carriage and traveled all the way to Chuya Country.
However, the journey was far away and the scenery became increasingly monotonous, so the two of them were a little less interested. Yan Qing couldn't help but think about it. It would be faster to carry Rong Che with a flying sword, but he couldn't hold on for too long if he had to bear the weight of two people.
And although she can put the carriage into the Najie, living animals like horses cannot be put in. It is too troublesome to open the secret realm once and requires a lot of space.
But if you give up the carriage, it will be inconvenient after entering some towns.
Rong Che's cultivation level cannot be improved for a while. It would be great if the carriage could fly.
When she said this, Rong Che laughed and became a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, it was me who slowed down your pace."
"That's not what I meant..." Yan Qing was just thinking about it and was about to explain it properly, when suddenly an idea flashed across his face!
Although her weapon refining talent is not particularly good, she still understands some basics. The so-called flying sword is actually a formation carved on suitable materials, so that it has some power.
For example, the flying sword can carry people flying because it is engraved with the wind spirit formation, which can control the wind. If this is the case, then if the same formation is engraved on the carriage, will it be able to make the carriage fly into the sky?
She immediately stopped and found an inn to stay, and immediately began to experiment. She first carved the wind spirit array on a wooden board and embedded it with spiritual stones. Once activated, the wooden board would immediately levitate.
Yan Qing was encouraged and felt that this way was feasible.
Rong Che didn't know what she was thinking, but when Yan Qing said he wanted to stay, he naturally went to arrange everything.
At this time, they had reached the edge of the border between Fengrong and Chuya Kingdom. There was some chaos here. In order to allow Yan Qingzheng to study in peace and quiet, he spent money to hire a team of escorts because he had inquired about this.
The area is very uneven.
Qingzheng has also really immersed herself in research. She has been experimenting with how to combine the Wind Spirit Formation, the Solid Element Formation and other defensive formations without interfering with each other.
Rong Che saw that she had been frowning for a few days, so he asked. Hearing her confusion, he said, "Why don't you ask Elder Chi? He is the most accomplished in weapon refining. Combining your formations will definitely solve the problem."
It was a word that woke up the dreamer. Yan Qing clapped her hands: "That's right! I can't just ask for help!"
So he sent Elder Chi a letter of flying sword.
After the two of them flew swords and passed letters several times, Yan Qingzheng seemed to be sure.
In just ten days, the inn had already experienced several fights, but the courtyard where Rong Che rented was protected by bodyguards, so it was not disturbed much.
More than ten days later, Yan Qing came to Rong Che with a happy face and said that her flying carriage test was successful!
"Flying carriage?" Rong Che actually didn't know the specific content of Yan Qing's research, but only had a general idea. Now that she heard the name, she still didn't know who her research was for. She was very moved at the moment and hugged Yan Qing.
just.
"Qing'er, I'm really sorry for you!" In order to prevent him from flying into the sky and escaping to the earth, he spent so much time and energy to create a flying carriage!
"What's so difficult about this? It's not because I want to be lazy!" Yan Qing replied with a smile.
"Okay, take me to see it!"
"Um!"
Yan Qing was leading Rong Che to the backyard. There was a carriage parked in the yard, and it looked no different.
"Normally, the formation patterns carved on this carriage are invisible. They will only appear when spiritual power is injected into them." Yan Qingzheng always kept a low profile. The carriage wanted to travel in various cities, so he deliberately made such an ordinary pattern.
appearance.
"Husband, are you willing to be the first passenger in these two flying carriages?" Yan Qing asked with a smile.
"Of course I do!" Rong Che said happily, and then he got on the carriage happily. As soon as he entered, he realized that there was a cave inside, which was much bigger than it looked from the outside.
