Comprehension against the sky, creating the Five Thunders in the real world
Chapter 710 Sensing something wrong
Seeing this, Lin Beichen hurried forward to support him. As soon as he touched the old man, he felt that his body was unusually stiff.
His heart sank, and Lin Beichen cautiously put his hand in front of the old man's nose, trying to feel if he was still breathing.
At this moment, the old man suddenly came to life and said weakly: "Thank you...thank you for sending me home so that I can die decently at home. What I am most worried about is the old lady, I hope you can..." Before he finished speaking, the old man died.
When Lin Beichen was fighting with the red-haired fox, the old lady hid aside, fearing that she would be affected.
After seeing Lin Beichen subdue the red-haired fox, she dared to come out and walked to the old man. Unexpectedly, this was the last time she heard the old man's voice.
"Old man, wake up! Don't leave me alone! Didn't we agree that I would go first? Why don't you keep your word?" The old lady shook the old man desperately, hoping to wake him up, but it was all in vain.
Lin Beichen felt guilty. If he had discovered the scent of the red fox on the old man earlier, he might have been able to avoid this tragedy. He lowered his head and said to the old lady with shame: "It's all my fault. I didn't discover the scent of the red fox on him in time. Otherwise, he wouldn't have..."
Although the old lady was heartbroken, she was also very reasonable: "It's come to this, it's not your fault. He was destined to have this disaster, and none of us can do anything about it."
As she spoke, she gently supported the old man's body, her eyes full of reluctance. From then on, no one quarreled with her anymore, and life seemed to have lost its color.
Although the old lady always dislikes the old man, they have a deep relationship and are inseparable over the years.
This kind of feeling cannot be measured by anything in the world.
"I must bury him properly." The old lady said softly.
Lin Beichen decided to help by preparing the coffin, buying a cemetery, etc.
"Let's lift him to the bed first. The floor is too cold. Although his body is gradually getting cold, I don't want him to lie on the cold floor in the short time that he is with me," said the old lady.
Lin Beichen followed the old lady's instructions and helped the old man to the bed.
At this moment, he unexpectedly discovered that the old man still had a breath of air.
This means that the old man’s life has not come to an end yet!
Lin Beichen couldn't help showing a happy expression on his face. The old lady noticed his expression and was a little unhappy. She was immersed in the pain of losing her husband. It would be fine if Lin Beichen was not sad, after all, the old man was just a passer-by to him. But Lin Beichen actually smiled in front of her!
"How come you are so happy?" the old lady said dissatisfiedly.
"You misunderstood. When I helped the old man up just now, I found that he still had a breath. This means that his life is not over yet and he can live for a long time." Lin Beichen explained. But the old lady didn't understand what he was saying.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
"This means that I can bring his remaining soul back to the Taoist temple for cultivation and thus save him." Lin Beichen said.
A gleam of light flashed in the old lady's eyes, but soon dimmed: "Are you sure this can save my husband? What if it doesn't, then wouldn't it be a waste of time?" She had never heard of such a thing.
"You have to believe me, you can't just bury him like this, right? We have to try to see if we can revive him," said Lin Beichen.
"Okay, let's give it a try." The old lady finally gave in.
Lin Beichen used his Taoist magic to collect the old man's soul. Before leaving, he specifically reminded the old lady: "Remember, don't let anyone else get close to him during this period. If others know about his death, then no matter how much I practice, I won't be able to save him."
Although the old lady didn't understand why Lin Beichen asked her to do this, she believed that Lin Beichen must have his reasons for doing so, so she agreed and promised to strictly abide by it.
Lin Beichen returned to the Taoist temple and was about to concentrate on his cultivation, but his disciples told him that an outsider wanted to see him.
Lin Beichen knew clearly that the soul of a person would soon dissipate after death. If he went to see outsiders, it would waste precious time to save the old man.
It would be a great pity if the old man missed the chance to be resurrected because of this, and the old lady would be extremely disappointed in him.
So he said to his disciple, "Tell him that I have no time these days and ask him to come back later. If he insists on seeing me, then don't come to our temple again."
The disciple wanted to plead for the outsider, but seeing Lin Beichen's firm attitude, he had no choice but to convey the original words to the outsider.
After hearing this, the outsider expressed his understanding and left.
Lin Beichen told everyone in the Taoist temple that he would concentrate on practicing in the next few days and that no one should disturb him unless it was something important, otherwise he would be punished according to the family rules.
The disciples all knew it well, because Lin Beichen once severely punished a disciple who made a mistake in public. The scene was shocking and the onlookers felt painful.
From then on, no one dared to make mistakes, and no one dared to disobey Lin Beichen, because everyone knew that although Lin Beichen was a good person, he could be really cruel when he got cruel.
After Lin Beichen gave these instructions, he began to concentrate on his practice. The system task arrived as scheduled, but he really couldn't spare the time to complete it.
Fortunately, the system was very user-friendly and cancelled the task. Coincidentally, the system was upgraded and Lin Beichen also completed his training, successfully saving the old man's life.
When the old lady saw the old man wake up, she danced with joy. She almost fell to the ground due to spraining her waist due to excitement because she hadn't moved for too long.
Fortunately, Lin Beichen came into the room in time to support her. The old lady was so grateful that she said she wanted to kneel down to Lin Beichen, because if it weren't for him, she would never see the old man alive again.
Lin Beichen quickly helped the old lady up and said, "Human life is at stake. I was able to do everything I could to save the old man, which also means that my ability has improved." But he also told the old lady that the old man only had ten years left. It turned out that the old man should have lived for more than ten years, but because of this incident, he could only live for another ten years. After hearing this, the old lady thought that this was already very good, and it was better than the old man dying.
After hearing what they said, the old man realized that he had died once, and it was all thanks to Lin Beichen that he came back to life. He was so grateful that he got up from the bed and bowed deeply to Lin Beichen. After Lin Beichen gave them a few instructions, he left.
In order to thank Lin Beichen, the old man and his wife offered incense at home and even sprinkled chicken blood at the door. Because Lin Beichen told them that although the old man was alive, he lacked yang energy and had too much yin energy, so they had to sprinkle chicken blood at the door to drive away the yin energy. So they did it.
The old man never believed in Taoism before, but this time Lin Beichen saved his life, which made him believe it without a doubt. He took out his life savings to add incense to the Taoist temple as a thank you. The old lady also supported him very much. They are so old, and they usually have enough money to buy food, unlike young people who have to buy all kinds of clothes. For them, the money they saved would be used to add incense to the Taoist temple every week.
However, recently, things have been missing from the Taoist temple for several days in a row. At first, they were small items, but later they became larger and larger. No one paid attention to this matter until one day when they needed something, they found that it was missing. After realizing this, they went to check other items to see if there was anything missing.
Upon checking, they found that so many things were missing from the Taoist temple. Everyone was shocked and quickly told Lin Beichen about it.
Lin Beichen also found it very strange. He knew the people in the Taoist temple, and they all had good character. Especially after seeing how he dealt with people who made mistakes, it was even more impossible for anyone to steal things.
So how did these things disappear?
Lin Beichen walked to the wall of the Taoist temple, wanting to see if there was a loophole that allowed people to enter and exit at will.
I didn't find the loophole, but I discovered that white hair had inexplicably grown on the wall.
You know, this wall is made of special material and will not grow moss, let alone white hair for no reason.
After some investigation, Lin Beichen was sure that someone was playing tricks.
It seems that someone is having a problem with the Taoist temple, and has been stealing things one after another these days just to attract their attention. Well, now Lin Beichen has noticed this. After thinking about it, Lin Beichen felt that the white hair growing on the wall was definitely not man-made, but must have been done by some kind of creature.
So he changed his thinking and thought that only a mountain elf could do this, so he was sure that it was the mountain elf who was causing trouble.
However, this mountain spirit appears and disappears erratically and its movements are erratic, so there is not much record of it in books. We only know that it is very flexible and has strong anti-detection capabilities.
Catching it is harder than climbing to the sky.
Throughout history, few people have been able to catch the mountain spirit. They always let the duck fly away when they are about to succeed.
This made Lin Beichen a little helpless, but he couldn't just leave the mountain spirit alone, otherwise it would become more and more arrogant, continue to steal things, and might even come to the Taoist temple to cause trouble openly in the future.
Therefore, he had to quickly think of a good way to capture the mountain spirit completely.
The little girl has spiritual veins and is gifted. After Lin Beichen accepted her as his apprentice, she has been practicing, and her skills have exceeded the level that she should have at her age. It can be said that she has made rapid progress.
Lin Beichen was just worrying about how to lure out the person behind the incident when the little girl passed by him.
Inspiration came all of a sudden.
He thought that he could use the little girl's spiritual vein to lure out the mountain spirit.
Because everyone is eager to get spiritual veins, and the mountain spirit is even more so. It loves spiritual veins like delicious food and can't let go. As long as it absorbs all the spiritual veins in the little girl's body, its power will be greatly improved, and its form may also change.
"Come here for a moment." Lin Beichen said to the little girl.
"What's wrong, Master?" The little girl blinked her big eyes and looked at Lin Beichen, not knowing why he called her over.
"You know what happened in the Taoist temple recently. Someone has been stealing things and even made the walls grow white hair. After my investigation, I found that it was a mountain spirit who was behind this."
"It moves very quickly, and it's not easy to catch it. So, I want your help."
"Ah? How can I help?" The little girl was confused. Lin Beichen and the others couldn't deal with the mountain elves, so why did they ask her for help? She was just a child.
"Because you have a lot of spiritual veins, and you don't seem to have any attack power. As long as you lure it out, it will definitely not be on guard, and then we can trap it and catch it."
The little girl thought about it and felt that this matter was a bit dangerous, but she was Lin Beichen's apprentice. If Lin Beichen had not taken her in when she fled from the famine, she would not be where she is now. I'm afraid she would have starved to death on the roadside.
So, she nodded to Lin Beichen and said, "Disciple is willing to do this."
Lin Beichen reached out and touched the little girl's head, feeling that she was very sensible, so sensible that it made him feel distressed. If she had not been born in a place where people were fleeing famine, she would definitely be happy now, and she could even act like a spoiled child in her parents' arms and be a little willful and capricious.
Lin Beichen calculated the time when the mountain spirit would appear, and brought the little girl here to wait.
He asked the little girl to stay in one place quietly and he hid himself.
When the mountain spirit came here, he felt the very strong aura of spiritual veins and his saliva could not stop flowing.
"This trip was well worth it. I actually found such a good spiritual vein, and it's so pure. If I can absorb it into my body, my power will increase greatly!"
The mountain spirit looked around and found that only the little girl was there, so he concluded that the spiritual vein was emanating from her.
So, without thinking, it rushed to the little girl and wanted to suck away her spiritual veins.
Lin Beichen knew the fish had taken the bait, so he rushed out from the dark and pushed the little girl away. He was injured because he wanted to protect her and didn't care about himself.
Although Lin Beichen was not seriously injured, he still attacked the mountain spirit immediately.
"Oh no! I've fallen into a trap!" the mountain spirit exclaimed.
Due to its slow reaction, the mountain spirit was hit by Lin Beichen. Knowing it was no match for him, it fled in panic.
Although Lin Beichen repelled the mountain spirit, he was not happy in his heart, because he originally wanted to capture it to prevent trouble in the future, but he didn't expect it to run away.
He couldn't help feeling a little unwilling.
"Where are you going?"
Just as Lin Beichen was about to take the little girl away, he found that she had walked into the forest and asked subconsciously.
"I'll go over there and take a look." the little girl replied.
Lin Beichen did not stop it. He knew that the mountain spirit was injured and would not come to cause trouble again in the short term, so he let the little girl go.
The little girl has been practicing these days and has hardly gone out, so this time she can just relax.
The little girl walked into the forest and found an old lady lying on the ground.
She called the old lady softly, trying to wake her up because the ground was too cold.
But after a long time, the old lady still didn't move.
The little girl slowly approached and reached out to wake the old lady up.
When her hand touched the old lady's body, she found that it was extremely cold and without a trace of temperature.
A thought suddenly flashed through her mind: only a dead person's body would be so cold.
Could it be that the old lady had passed away? The little girl's heart tightened, and she quickly put her hand under the old lady's nose to test whether she was still breathing.
As expected, the old lady was no longer breathing.
The little girl had lived in a place where people fled from famine since she was a child and had seen dead people when she was very young, so she did not show panic but remained calm.
She touched the old lady's body and found that it was still relatively soft and not completely stiff, which meant that the old lady had died not long ago.
So she returned to the gym and told Lin Beichen the truth. (End of this chapter)
