The Legend of the Great Saint: Start from the Sign-in at Mount Tai

Chapter 532 Shall we take a walk together?

"Did you already have a health problem?"

Lu Zhou's words silenced the King.

She lowered her head slightly and remained silent for a long time.

Two years ago, when Lu Zhou encountered the Human King injured, he simply used the divine energy of the starlight to help her heal.

During this period, he did not touch the King's body, nor did he examine the King's physical condition in detail.

After all, they weren't familiar with each other back then and didn't have much of a relationship.

Even if Lu Zhou meant well and wanted to help the King heal his injuries.

However, it would be going too far to directly touch the King's body because of this.

But this time is different.

After these two chance encounters, plus that transaction.

Lu Zhou and the King of Men can now be considered ordinary friends who both acknowledge each other.

Due to the difference between men and women, Lu Zhou treated the Human King's injuries this time, although he still did not personally touch the Human King's body.

However, during the process of Lu Zhou healing the Human King, the holy power within Lu Zhou's body also circulated within the Human King's body.

From this, it can be seen that the King of Men must have a very good impression of Lu Zhou.

Otherwise, the Human King would not have allowed Lu Zhou's holy power to flow into her body.

However, this situation wouldn't allow Lu Zhou to fully investigate the King's physical condition.

However, this was enough for Lu Zhou to vaguely sense that the Human King's origin was problematic and severely incomplete.

Based on Lu Zhou's experience, he knew very well that such injuries could not possibly have been caused by a major battle in a short period of time.

It is highly likely that it has been entangled with the King of Men for a very, very long time.

Lu Zhou stared at the Human King, who remained silent for a long time, seemingly unwilling to discuss the matter.

Then, Lu Zhou smiled nonchalantly.

"I was a bit too hasty!"

"I was just asking casually; I didn't mean to pry into your secret thoughts!"

"Just pretend I didn't ask!"

Lu Zhou also realized that his casual question, if asked by someone who was not particularly close to him, could indeed be suspected of probing into their secrets.

Unexpectedly, right after he said that, the King shook his head slightly and then spoke calmly.

"Actually, there's nothing I can't tell you!"

"My Human King Body did indeed have problems a long time ago!"

"When I was five years old, a hostile evil cultivator infiltrated the sect and severely injured me with a very vicious curse. I was on the verge of death at one point, but fortunately, the ancestor intervened and saved me."

Then, Yu Xin briefly recounted to Lu Zhou the great calamity she had suffered in her childhood.

She spoke very simply and in a calm tone, as if she were talking about something that had nothing to do with her.

Lu Zhou's expression faltered slightly.

He never imagined that the King of Men would have such an experience.

"So, you are actually a weakened version of the Human King's Body?"

Yu Xin nodded.

"You can also say that!"

This moved Lu Zhou deeply.

The reason is simple: even a weakened version of the Human King's Body was able to unleash the power of a young supreme being on the ancient human path.

It's hard to imagine how powerful Ruo Yuxin must be if her Human King Body didn't have any problems.
Lu Zhou realized that he had been underestimating the Human King Body all along.

This instantly sparked Lu Zhou's greater interest in the Human King Body.

As he was thinking about these things, Lu Zhou heard Yu Xin laughing and saying something to him again.

"I also want to thank you for passing on the secret of the character 'Zhe' to me two years ago. As the Ancestor predicted, the secret of the character 'Zhe' can indeed solve the great problem of my Human King Body to a certain extent!"

"I can live longer now."

In the dim starry sky, she smiled so brightly that Lu Zhou's eyes lit up for a moment.

Only then did Lu Zhou finally understand why Yu Xin had thanked him so many times two years ago.

Unfortunately, the secret of the word "Zhe" could not completely remove the curse that entangled the essence of Yu Xin, the human king.

An elixir of immortality.
After a moment's thought, Lu Zhou spoke to Yu Xin.

"As far as I know, the elixir of immortality is extremely rare in the world, and cannot be forced upon those who are not destined to find it!"

"I do know the whereabouts of an immortal herb, but with your abilities, I'm afraid you simply cannot obtain it from the forbidden area."

The immortal medicine that Lu Zhou was referring to was clearly the Xuanwu Immortal Medicine from the Beidou Immortal Mountain.

In fact, he already possesses quite a few elixirs of immortality.

Many years ago, he even picked several ripe immortal medicinal fruits and sealed them away with divine energy.

However, these immortal elixirs were one of the preparations Lu Zhou made to deal with the turmoil in the dark.

Unless absolutely necessary, Lu Zhou would never easily give away the immortal elixir he possessed.

Furthermore, although he currently has a good impression of Yu Xin, their relationship can only be considered as that of ordinary friends at the moment.

If the object were changed to Ye Fan, Pang Bo, or Lu Zhou's Daoist partners...
Without hesitation, Lu Zhou would take out an immortal medicine to prolong their lives and completely resolve their major ailment.

But if this person is a human king, even Lu Zhou, who is usually quite generous, wouldn't be this generous at this moment.

"I knew all along that the elixir of immortality was hard to come by!"

"I'm not deliberately searching for miracle drugs anymore!"

Who in this world can escape death?

"no!"

Even the greatest emperors will one day fall and die!

"I'm no exception!"

"I'll just leave a little earlier than everyone else in the same situation!"

"If this life is lived to the fullest and in its most vibrant form, then even if life is but a fleeting moment, then it has not been a wasted journey in this world!"

"If one spends one's days in mediocrity and inaction, even if one lives for a thousand years, it will all be a wasted life!"

"I'm actually quite content with things as they are now."

When Lu Zhou mentioned that he knew about the elixir of immortality, Yu Xin remained calm.

It seems she has truly become indifferent to her own life and death.

All she wanted was to live a vibrant and fulfilling life for the rest of her days.

She wanted quality of life, not quantity.

Lu Zhou could tell that what she said was not against her conscience.

This made Lu Zhou think more highly of her.

Even in the universe, few living beings can comprehend life and death, or possess the mindset and realm of Yu Xin.

Those supreme rulers of the forbidden zones who instigated the dark upheavals are the most negative representatives.

Not long after, Yu Xin said goodbye to Lu Zhou once again.

She was ready to hit the road again.

Although she had a detached view of life and death, she cherished the last moments of her remaining life.

There are still some places along this road that she wants to visit and see!

She still has some things she wants to do.

Lu Zhou nodded, watching her step into a domain gate and disappear from his sight.

But in the next instant, Lu Zhou concealed his tracks and chased after the Human King.

These encounters sparked his newfound interest in this woman, who wasn't featured prominently in the original story.

This made Lu Zhou want to know her better.

Therefore, for a period of time afterward, Lu Zhou became a stalker!

He followed closely behind the King of Men, silently watching him.

With his cultivation level and abilities, even someone as powerful as the Human King did not notice that Lu Zhou was following her and secretly watching her.

Time seems to fly by; in the blink of an eye, two years have passed.

Over the past two years, Lu Zhou has witnessed many facets of the King of Men.

I've seen her engage in a bloody battle with the enemy in the starry sky.

This side of the king is sharp, indifferent, and majestic.

She was like an unparalleled female war goddess, like an empress, with the power to sweep across the six directions and eight wastelands, killing so many that the sun and moon lost their light, which moved people deeply.

Her achievements on the Golden Road made her even more famous on the ancient road.

Today, along some ancient routes of foreign tribes, the reputation of human kings has begun to spread.

This is one aspect of the Human King's armed forces.

This is also the most direct impression she has left on all cultivators in the outside world.

Few people know that this was not the true human king.

In the past two years, Lu Zhou also saw the Human King stay on a spiritually desolate planet in the end of the Dharma era for half a year.

I don't know if she just suddenly had a whim.

She once worked as a private tutor in a small town on that planet, providing free education to dozens of children.

She taught the children what benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness meant, and taught them to respect the elderly and care for the young, to be humble and courteous, and to honor their parents and teachers!
She is instilling a correct worldview in a group of young children who have no access to books.

She also opened a pharmacy in that small town. She provided free medical consultations and medicine to the town's residents, passing merchants and travelers, and even injured animals that happened to wander into her vicinity!

When famine occurred, the king would distribute porridge and grain at her pharmacy.
At this moment, in Lu Zhou's eyes, the Human King had no murderous aura whatsoever. Her entire body radiated a sacred brilliance that enlightened all beings and bestowed blessings upon all living beings.

She is kind and approachable, and has lost her former aloofness, now exuding a worldly charm.

Lu Zhou saw that someone had set up a longevity tablet for the King at home and burned incense and prayed for the King every day.

They regarded the King as a celestial maiden descended from the heavens to save the world from suffering!
On this day, a sudden rainstorm hit the rather dilapidated town, and the streets were instantly deserted.

The Queen also closed her pharmacy, brewed a pot of flower tea that she had personally made, and lay back on a bamboo chair, gently rocking, looking very lazy and content.

Outside the bamboo window, rain patters on banana leaves and lotus flowers bloom, while inside the bamboo house, the aroma of tea mingles with the rising steam.

Wang Yu held the cup, took a sip of the steaming flower tea with her red lips, and her eyes were bright, like the stars in the night sky, shining brightly.

A sense of satisfaction flowed across her face.

The drizzling rain continued, falling like broken threads from the clouds, making the small town misty and beautiful, like a painting.

In that instant, the King of Men felt an indescribable sense of ease and comfort.

She has loved rainy days since she was a child, especially enjoying a cup of floral tea on a rainy day.

Listening to the sound of rain and smelling the fragrance of floral tea always made her feel very relaxed and comfortable.

I wonder if this is related to her being found by her master in a flowerbed after the rain.

In short, whenever this scene occurs, she feels happy and content.

This sudden rain not only washed away the dust and made the ancient town with its winding river and bluestone walls feel much fresher, but it also brought peace to many people's hearts.

After the rain, the warm sun shone brightly, and a rainbow appeared in the sky above the town, making many children in the town point at the rainbow and jump around with laughter.

'Boom dong dong'

Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

Someone knocked on the door of the pharmacy. It was the town mayor and his wife.

The elderly couple, both dressed in festive attire, came to search for the King.

The king smiled and asked them what they wanted.
The mayor's wife smiled like a flower and said to the king.

"My daughter is getting married tomorrow. You must do me the honor of coming to my house for a celebratory drink!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the town mayor followed with a broad smile and a cheerful laugh.

"My wife and I are nearly fifty years old when we finally have a daughter, and we worry about her the most every day!"

"Now she has finally found her perfect match, a home, and a loving and devoted husband. Her life is finally complete, and we, the old couple, can finally rest easy."

The old town mayor's words startled Yu Xin slightly.

Is a life only complete with a good partner?

This time, it was the mayor's wife who spoke.

She naturally smiled and said it.

"For us women, a life with a good husband is a complete life!"

"why?"

It was the King of Men who was asking why.

What does "良人" refer to?
She understands the King.

But she doesn't believe that being a woman means you have to find a husband to make your life complete.

She feels that she is living a good and fulfilling life on her own!

The King's persistent questioning left the town elders speechless for a moment.

Because they don't seem to understand why a woman's life is only considered complete after she finds a good man.

All they knew was that this saying had existed since ancient times.

The elderly couple, speechless, looked at each other. After a short while, the mayor's wife, relying on her own feelings, spoke hesitantly.

"It must be because after finding a good partner, in addition to the love and care of your parents, there will be another person who will always care about you, love you, and keep you in their heart!"

"Yes, yes, that makes sense."

She seemed to have sorted out her thoughts, and then spoke more and more fluently, with more and more reasons coming out of her mouth.

"And there's more."

"Because only after finding a good man can we grow from a young girl into a real woman!"

"Only then will we have our own children and become mothers!"

"Being a daughter, being a wife, and being a mother—these are the three most important stages and three identities in a woman's life!"

"Only a woman who has experienced all three stages and three identities can be said to have lived a complete and fulfilling life."

"Some processes and joys, and the various senses of accomplishment and satisfaction that a woman experiences as a wife and mother, can only be truly understood by the woman herself."

The mayor's wife said a lot, leaving the listeners feeling dizzy and somewhat confused.

But there was one thing the King understood.

That is to say, a good husband is not indispensable to a woman.

It's fine whether it's there or not!
But it would be better for a woman to have had such a good man in her life.

Because some happiness and感动 can only be brought to you by your own beloved partner and children.

Let's summarize.

That is, a woman who has never found a good husband, her life cannot be said to be incomplete, but it is certainly not as complete as that of a woman who has found a good husband.

For some reason, Lu Zhou's image suddenly popped into the King's mind at that moment.

Perhaps it's because she knows very few men.

And among these, even fewer were those that she found appealing.

To date, she has spent the vast majority of her life on spiritual practice.

Among the male peers she knew, the one she had the most interaction with and the one who gave her the best impression was actually Lu Zhou, whom she had only encountered three times in the starry sky.

Renwang accepted the invitation from the mayor and his wife.

She attended the mayor's daughter's wedding and even drank a toast from the newlyweds.

That day, the King of Men saw a very beautiful bride.

In fact, the mayor's daughter could only be described as pretty, with a delicate and refined appearance, but she was by no means particularly beautiful.

Far inferior to the King of Men!

But at that moment, the King of Men felt in a daze that the mayor's daughter was much more beautiful than her!
She could hear people laughing and joking in her ear.

"Look at the bride and groom, how happy and joyful they are today! They're sure to have a big, healthy baby boy next year!"

The King's Whisper!

"Are you happy?"

She doesn't understand what happiness is!
The next day, she heard it from the children in her school.

"I feel so happy when I can eat candy!"

"Ya Ya feels very happy when she has new clothes to wear!"

There was also a chubby little boy who said that.

"I feel very happy when my dad doesn't beat me and when I have meat to eat every day!"

There was also a little guy who always had two snotty noses hanging from his nose.

"I feel very happy when Ya Ya is willing to play with me."

Yu Xi thought she should know what happiness is now.

It turns out that being content is happiness!

Two weeks later, the Human King left the town and the planet!
Just as she came quietly half a year ago, she is now leaving quietly as well.

Although she has left, even hundreds of years later, people in this town still remember her.

After she left, a temple was built in the town specifically for her.

Her longevity tablet is enshrined in the temple.

Whenever a child starts school, the town's teachers would lead the children to worship the tablet of the King of Men.

And almost every household in the town has been worshipping the King of Humanity's longevity tablet for generations.

During festivals, they would always worship the King of Men.

Those families with slightly better means would burn incense for the King every day.

This has become a tradition in this small town.

The King of Men stayed in that small town for only half a year.

But during those six months, far too many people in the town had received favors from the King.

From the town mayor to some elderly people in their seventies.

From newborn babies to beggars in small towns.

They had all received favors from the king to varying degrees.

Whether it's the kindness of enlightening a child, the kindness of providing a meal, or the kindness of saving a life with medicine.
This small town bears the trace of the King of Men's presence.

She shone brightly here!
To Wang's surprise, only two years later, she encountered Lu Zhou again in the starry sky.

As the saying goes, things shouldn't happen more than three times!
Yu Xin counted, and including the three chance encounters in the previous years, this was the fourth time she had run into Lu Zhou while wandering aimlessly in the starry sky.

When she ran into Lu Zhou again, she found herself pleasantly surprised.

This surprise made her feel a little flustered for the first time.

"Want to take a walk together?"

Lu Zhou's words left her even more at a loss!
