My spirit appeared on the road to exile, and I was treated as an ancestor.

Chapter 24 Is this the magic of immortality?
Seeing his grandson's barely concealed joy, Lu Qing frowned and said, "Tone it down, don't let outsiders notice anything unusual."

In particular, the official surnamed Du seemed to have noticed something and had been keeping an eye on the Lu family since yesterday.

Lu Xingyao immediately suppressed his smile, but his eyes were fixed curiously on the thing in his grandfather's hand. "Grandfather, what is this?"

Lu Qing was about to reply when he was surprised to find that the heat patch he had just put on his waist had actually started to heat up!

A continuous stream of warmth washed over him, his eyes widened, his mouth slightly agape, words stuck in his throat... My God! Amazing!
How could such a wondrous thing exist in this world... No, no! This is a gift from our ancestors; it is not something that exists in this world.

Gu Xingzhao stared curiously at Lu Qing's reaction. Was it... the hand warmer working?
Lu Xingyao was puzzled and waved his hand in front of his grandfather's eyes twice. "Grandfather?"

Lu Qing suppressed his excitement, tore off another sheet, and stuck it on his grandson's body under his bewildered gaze, without telling him what it was for.

Lu Xingyao was filled with questions: "???"

"Grandfather, what is this for?"

Lu Qing didn't explain, "You'll find out soon enough."

Lu Xingyao could only wait patiently, wondering why his grandfather was being so mysterious.

After a moment, a wave of heat swept over him, and his eyes widened in shock: "!!!"

He waved excitedly, pointing to his own body and then to the heat packs on the ground, his face flushed with excitement. "Grandfather! These things get warm! They're so cozy!"

This is amazing! Could this be magic?

Lu Qing smiled deeply, quite pleased with his grandson's reaction.

See? It wasn't that I was too shocked; it was just that the divine object bestowed by our ancestors was truly miraculous. Anyone would have the same reaction.

Lu Xingyao was extremely curious and wanted to study the thing on his body, but he was afraid that it would lose its power if he took it off. His heart was pounding with conflicting emotions, but in the end he couldn't bear to take it off. He even tightly covered his clothes, wanting to keep the magic on his body, afraid that the wind would blow it away.

“Grandfather, this thing bestowed by our ancestors is truly miraculous. I no longer feel cold.”

The key is that this stuff is also sticky, so it can stick firmly to clothes and won't fall off, which is really convenient and easy to use.

He stared intently at his grandfather, glancing out of the corner of his eye at the other members of the clan. They were all looking this way, curious but not wanting to be too obvious.

Looking at their reactions, Gu Xingzhao felt a sense of relief. He thought to himself that progress had its advantages; with these things, one could avoid the cold.

"Lu Qing, you can divide the things among yourselves. I've left a few small knives in the bamboo basket; keep them for self-defense."

"Remember not to put these heat patches directly on your skin, or you'll get burned. You must wear them over clothing. They only last for a maximum of four hours. Don't worry about using them sparingly; I'll bring you more when you run out."

Lu Qing's gratitude was beyond words; his heart was overflowing with respect and thanks to Gu Xingzhao: "This junior understands, and thanks the ancestor for sending so many things tonight." If he hadn't seen which direction the ancestor was facing, he would have even wanted to kneel down and kowtow to express his feelings.

“Since I have already addressed you as my ancestors, you don’t need to thank me.” Gu Xingzhao looked around and felt that there was nothing for him to worry about for the time being. He yawned and said, “It’s too late today, so I’ll be leaving now. I’ll come to see you again tomorrow. Just call me if you need anything.”

After Gu Xingzhao left, Lu Qing instructed his grandson to distribute the items to the clan members. There was no need to say anything more; more than half a month had passed, and everyone had seen and understood the situation after the thunder and lightning last time.

Lu Xingyao immediately lost all sleepiness, picked up more than a dozen heat patches, and happily went to deliver them to the other members of the clan, teaching them how to use them one by one.

Watching their expressions shift from curiosity and confusion to shock, Lu Xingyao felt incredibly smug.

Those who hadn't yet received their turn were anxious, but they couldn't move their feet for fear of being noticed by others. They could only wait patiently until Lu Xingyao arrived, staring intently at him, wondering what magical gift the old immortal had bestowed this time.

No matter what it is, it's definitely better than this light, thin, soft, and comfortable clothing!
When it was finally their turn, the items were pressed against their bodies, warming them. They all stared in astonishment, their mouths agape: "!!!"

My God! Is this something bestowed by the gods?!
It's so small, yet it warmed my whole body—it's amazing!

Is this some kind of magical magic?
Some people couldn't resist tearing it off and studying it repeatedly, finally concluding: This is magic!
The Lu family members were all warm and cozy, their expressions excited but they dared not show it too obviously, for fear of being discovered by the officials and other criminals. They carefully wrapped themselves in the thin blankets, secretly pleased with themselves.

Mrs. Song was so surprised that she couldn't speak and looked at her husband beside her.

Lu Zhou's hand was pressed against the heat patch on his body. Feeling the warmth in his palm, he was both surprised and delighted. At this moment, he finally believed in the fact that his ancestors had appeared to him.

For decades, he had never believed in ghosts or gods, nor had he ever worshipped any deities or ancestors. Therefore, he was now filled with fear: would his ancestors blame him for this?
Lu Yang gave all the hand warmers he received to his wife and daughter. He patted his chest to show that he was chubby and could withstand the cold, and that he only needed to wrap himself in a blanket. After all, the thermal underwear and pants given to him by the gods were really useful, the size was just right, and they were so comfortable to wear!

Xu, standing beside her, held her daughter tightly, tears welling in her eyes. If her parents, far away in the capital, knew that they had something to keep warm, they probably wouldn't be so worried about her. Thinking of her parents, she couldn't help but shed tears, which she then secretly wiped away, afraid of being noticed.

In the stillness of the night, the Lu family was filled with unease. The Liu family, whose house was next to the Lu family, noticed something amiss and began to speculate. They couldn't help but look around, wondering if a deity had descended to earth again to help the Lu family.

Lu Qing also sent a gift to Shunyu via Lu Xingyao. Shunyu looked at these things she had never seen before and recalled the rumors she had been hearing over the past two days, saying that the Lu family was blessed by a deity descending to earth.

She sat in the carriage, hugging herself, and thought of Caihe, her eyes reddening again... Caihe was so good, did she also go to heaven to become a goddess?
If gods exist, why do they stand by and watch evil people do evil, or even...?

Thinking of that person in the palace, both familiar and unfamiliar, Shunyu clenched her thin hands into fists, biting her lip until it bled and she tasted blood. Despite her grief and indignation, she still couldn't find an outlet, and tears dripped down her cheeks onto her knees.

My brother... how cruel you are.

...

At night, Gu Xingzhao finished showering and prepared to go to bed. Just as he lay down on the bed, system notifications began to ring out incessantly...

A new day begins, here are two updates for today!
(Puts down her bottom, props her face up with her paws, eyes sparkling with hearts, looking pitiful): Baby~ Did you catch up on today's update? Did you vote for me?
