This is what an immortal should be like

Chapter 39 Maybe Soon

On the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, the celebration in Yinxian Valley was much more grand than before, or perhaps it could be said that some appropriate festivals would always be used as an opportunity to have some fun.

Zhuang Lin even made some adjustments to the school curriculum. It was no longer on holidays and no longer taught all day long. Instead, classes would end after noon, giving the children more time to play.

All this is not only because life in Yinxian Valley is comfortable, but the more core factor is the foundation on which the valley society is established, that is, Liu Hongyu.

Everyone knows that Mr. Liu's condition is getting better and better, and many people even think that he is already well.

Liu Hongyu has expressed regret for his past actions more than once. Some people in the valley sometimes take the opportunity to talk to him, using amnesia as an excuse to ask him if he remembers or misses anything.

When Liu Hongyu mentioned this matter, although he acted in front of others, some of his emotions were genuine.

In short, in the eyes of outsiders, Young Master Liu is no longer the mentally ill patient who was full of unrealistic fantasies.

People also believe that the Delusion-Breaking Plan will not take five years. Optimistically speaking, maybe everyone will be able to go back next year, happily receive generous rewards, reunite with relatives and friends outside, and then live a life without worries about food and clothing!
But is everyone really happy?

Despite the consensus shared by everyone, some people also have mixed feelings.

Downstream of the water source, in the Fire Valley, Zhuang Lin and Liu Hongyu came here again today.

At this moment, the Qiao family and the corresponding apprentices are all in the blacksmith shop.

Old Master Qiao carried out a dark red wooden box from the house. He walked slowly but steadily, and finally carefully placed the wooden box on the large table outside.

"Boom"

When the wooden box fell, Zhuang Lin keenly noticed that the large table filled with various metal tools shook.

At this moment, everyone's attention was unconsciously attracted to the wooden box. The wooden box was thick yet slender, dark in color, and seemed to be covered with scales on the top and bottom. When the sunlight swept through it, it revealed a somewhat misplaced brightness, and its beauty was full of mystery!

"Mr. Liu may not have seen this before. I wonder if Mr. Zi'an can identify it?"

Old Master Qiao looked at Zhuang Lin with a smile, and the latter pondered for a moment before speaking.

"Sword box?"

"Not bad!"

Old Master Qiao smiled and nodded, then reached out and touched the sword case on the table.

"This was made by Master Banqiu Guzhong and me two years ago. It's made from the snake-patterned wood he treasures, with a mechanism inside and lacquer on the outside. It's meticulously crafted. I've known him for most of my life, and this is the toy we made together that year."

"Even though it's a toy, we treat it seriously. Over the years, I've used it to store some swords for fun, but I always take them out afterward. Firstly, the sword case is too heavy to carry, and secondly, although those swords are considered fine, they're always a little off. I've never been able to forge one that satisfies me."

Mr. Qiao spoke with emotion, then looked at Liu Hongyu.

"I never thought that this long-cherished wish would be fulfilled together with Master Liu. Now that the sword is complete, I am deeply relieved. If you don't mind, I will take the initiative and give this sword box to Master Liu as well."

As he spoke, Mr. Qiao looked at Liu Hongyu seriously.

"With Master Liu's strength, you should be able to move this sword case, right?"

Liu Hongyu's eyes had been shining for a long time. Not to mention him, even Zhuang Lin was a little moved when he stared at the sword box. It can only be said that this "big toy" is really beautiful!
Master Ban Qiu, Zhuang Lin secretly took note of it in his heart. As for the big toy in front of him, it already belonged to his disciple.

Sure enough, after hearing what Mr. Qiao said, Liu Hongyu, who had been unable to contain himself any longer, reached out and grabbed the leather strap on the sword case. He tried it first, then exerted a little strength and lifted the sword case steadily with one hand, even stretching his arm.

This scene startled Mr. Qiao, and some of the blacksmith disciples around him even let out a low cry.

All the craftsmen, young and old, knew very well how heavy this sword case was. Although they were strong enough, they could not lift it so easily.

This one-arm lift is of great value!

The leather strap on the sword case in Liu Hongyu's hand made a "creaking" sound, resisting the huge force of the sword case falling, but the strap itself was extremely tough and there was no danger of breaking, and Liu Hongyu's arm did not move at all.

"Master Liu is truly blessed with extraordinary strength! This sword case, this sword case must weigh sixty or seventy kilograms!"

Liu Hongyu's heart skipped a beat and he subconsciously looked at Zhuang Lin. He only felt that the sword case was a bit heavy, but he didn't expect it to weigh sixty or seventy kilograms. Wouldn't it be a mistake for him to be so relaxed?

However, when he saw that his master looked normal and had a smile on his face, Liu Hongyu felt relieved. It was only sixty or seventy kilograms, and many adults could move it.

"Uh, hahahaha, it's true that I was born strong. Hmm, my hands are a little sore now. This sword case is really heavy."

Liu Hongyu laughed, then put the sword case back on the table with both hands.

"Then how do I open it?" Liu Hongyu murmured as he stretched out his hand to stroke the surface of the sword box. When Mr. Qiao was about to speak out a reminder, Liu Hongyu seemed to notice something and tapped it lightly.

With a "click" sound, the top of the sword case popped open by itself, and the next moment a flash of black light immediately popped out from the sword case.

Liu Hongyu was quick-eyed and quick-handed. He grabbed the sword in the middle when it was one foot away, then turned around and raised the sword. The hem of his long gown turned into a flower at this moment.

so beautiful!
This was Liu Hongyu's first reaction when he saw the sword. In order to maintain the mystery and surprise, he had not been here for a long time during the sharpening and exterior decoration stages after the sword was completed.

The hilt and the scabbard are both black. The hilt is locked and the scabbard is covered with lacquer. The lacquer is as smooth as a mirror and can reflect people. Liu Hongyu was mesmerized by the sight!

"Pull it out and see!"

Zhuang Lin reminded him, and Liu Hongyu woke up as if from a dream, then gently pulled the sword out of the scabbard.

As the sword reflected the light from the outside world, a slight low vibration was heard, like the sound of a sharp sword.

"Om~~~"

Liu Hongyu could feel that it was not his own trembling due to excitement, but the sword itself that was shaking.

Although this was the first time he held the sword after it was forged, Liu Hongyu had a natural feeling of spiritual connection with the sword!

This is the treasure I forged together. The sword has spirit and can sense its master!
This is a true magical weapon for immortals!

Amid the clanging of swords, everyone around them, except Zhuang Lin and Liu Hongyu, felt goosebumps all over their bodies and their hairs stood on end.

Liu Hongyu just took a look, suppressed the urge to swing his sword immediately, and sheathed the sword.

"Good sword, good sword, hahahahaha, it's really a good sword, thank you Grandpa Qiao, thank you everyone!"

Seeing Liu Hongyu holding a sword and bowing to him and others repeatedly, Mr. Qiao felt very satisfied at this moment!

If it were in ancient times, with this sword, I might have become a famous swordsmith in later generations, and maybe even had my own legend. But today is not bad either!
The other craftsmen also shouted "Congratulations" at this moment, congratulating Mr. Liu for getting a good sword and congratulating their master for fulfilling his long-cherished wish.

Zhuang Lin was pleased watching from the side. Although he satisfied his disciple's desire this time, if you think about it from another perspective, he will be more experienced next time, and my big toy will definitely not be bad!

But suddenly, Liu Hongyu, who was originally very happy, stopped. He frowned slightly, touched his chest, and had an inexplicable feeling.

"Mr. Liu, what's wrong with you?" "Yes, weren't you very happy just now?"

"Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Everyone else looked concerned, but Liu Hongyu remained silent. After a long moment, he covered his chest with his hands and looked at Zhuang Lin.

"Master, I feel empty here, as if something has happened."

Zhuang Lin also frowned slightly. He hadn't felt anything at first, but Liu Hongyu's look made him feel something.
Zhou Xianglin hurried to Zhonghai Jinkang Private Hospital and saw Liu Lei and others in a corridor of the hospital.

It seemed that these people were in a low mood, which gave Zhou Xianglin a bad feeling, so he walked over quickly.

"Where's your CEO Liu? How's the situation? Why did you call me so late? Why couldn't you call me earlier? Even a few days earlier would be fine!"

Zhou Xianglin was a little excited. He walked up to Liu Lei and grabbed his collar. The latter looked a little weak.

"Director Zhou, this happened suddenly, and we dare not disobey General Liu's order."

Zhou Xianglin looked around angrily. The driver, nanny and others were all there, but there was not a single executive from the Liu Group, nor any so-called relatives.

"Hey, what's the situation now?"

As he spoke, Zhou Xianglin looked towards the operating room over there.

Liu Lei took a look and said.

"It's been almost ten hours now, but when Mr. Liu was still conscious, he said that if anything were to happen, he hoped Director Zhou would finish the show. But I think the young master is healthy enough. You know his condition better than I do, so regardless of whether the boss can make it this time, I hope the young master can leave the valley."

Zhou Xianglin opened his mouth, wanting to curse but couldn't, wanting to yell but couldn't, so in the end he could only sigh and give up.

In the emergency room just across the door, the lines of instruments had once again become a flat line. This time, the doctor tried everything but was unable to save the patient.

The chief physician said helplessly while asking the nurse to wipe the sweat off his face.

"Recorded time: October 381, 10 Yi Si Year, 11: PM. Patient Liu Shihao has been confirmed dead despite medical efforts!"
-
When the doctor came out of the emergency room and announced Liu Shihao's death, Zhou Xianglin, besides feeling the same sadness as everyone else, also knew clearly that even though Liu Shihao had said that he would ensure the stable operation of the plan,
But judging by the current situation, the end of the Delusion Breaking Plan is almost here.
