Under One Person, Mountain and Sea Painting Demon

"Ha ha……"

But the next moment, the old man laughed and said something inexplicable:

"The starry sky is so rare, don't let it go to waste!"

then……

"Xiao Fangzi, you have grown up now and your methods have matured. I have nothing to worry about you anymore."

"Look at me now. I am already a weak and frail person with nothing. I should... have nothing to lose."

"The Sect Master said that I actually have great talent, but my character is not good enough. I am too cautious and timid, so I will never achieve anything great!"

"I didn't believe it at the time, but now it seems that he was right. I was indeed too timid."

"I was afraid of losing everything, afraid of going astray, afraid of a dim future, afraid of having no way out, and ended up being afraid of this and that, and in the end I lost everything."

"But now that things have come to this, I don't want to be afraid anymore. I want to be bold for once!"

"Now, my third level of Reverse Life is already equal to that of the Sect Master back then. The Sect Master was unable to advance further because of that bastard Wu Gensheng. As a disciple, it is my responsibility to make up for the Sect Master's regret!"

“Old man?!”

"From now on, I will go into seclusion! I want to challenge the third level! I want to witness the scenery that even the sect master couldn't witness. I want to slap those two bastards in the face. I want to prove that Wu Gensheng is wrong!"

Suddenly, the old man stood up, his eyes gleamed brightly, and as the white Qi rose, he directly activated the second level of the three levels of reverse life!

then……

He smiled and patted Youfang's shoulder, blocking what Youfang wanted to say.

"Xiao Fangzi, there's no need to say more. I've made up my mind. Now I'm only going to entrust you with one thing, and you must promise me."

"Over the years, I know you've always wanted to go out and see the world, otherwise, you wouldn't have changed your name to 'Youfang'..."

"I can also see that you are actually a free eagle. You shouldn't be trapped in a cage because of me. You have suffered a lot these years, having to take care of an old man like me."

"I am in seclusion this time, and it is hard to predict whether I will live or die. To be honest, I am not sure, but I know I have to do it!"

"As for the results, there are only two options. If I succeed, I won't have to worry about my health anymore. If you want to go out and take a look, go ahead."

"If you're willing, I can even take you out to explore, and take care of those two bastards. You can also see... what an immortal is."

"And if I fail, you will also be free. Then I will have to trouble you to bring my ashes back to Trinity Gate and kowtow three times for me!"

"I shouldn't have left in the first place. I'm a bastard, but I'm still a bastard. Now that I'm done..."

“I still want to return to my roots!”

After saying that, the old man suddenly laughed out loud towards the sky, then turned around and walked into the bedroom, sealing off the entire bedroom with Qi.

In Youfang's eyes, his back was more free and easy than ever before, and Youfang finally understood...

He really understood!

but……

"Old man, I'm not trying to persuade you, I just want to..."

"I wish you success."

Looking at the tightly closed door, Youfang muttered to himself, and then he also smiled.

He knew very well that once one cultivated the three levels of Reverse Life to the second level, any injury or illness could be repaired with Qi. Therefore, the old man's body was not sick, and the root of his illness came from his heart.

Now that the old man's worries have been cured, there is nothing to worry about.

As for success or failure...

Just leave it all to fate and have no regrets.

……

……

Most of the day passed.

It's night again.

Youfang just lay on the recliner, enjoying the cool breeze and waiting quietly.

He went to the bank in the afternoon and cashed all the checks. He only had to wait a few days for the money to be credited to his account.

Now, everything is ready, just waiting for the result from the old man...

He gently waved a palm-leaf fan, looking at the night scene outside the window, as if thinking about something.

"Fairy..."

"What is it like?"

He had never seen it and didn't know, but if the old man could really succeed, it would be worth looking forward to.

only……

"There are a lot of clouds in the night sky tonight..."

He looked at the night sky calmly, muttering to himself, with a flicker in his eyes.

Ha ha……

There are more than just a lot of them. Look at the dark clouds and flashing lightning. I'm afraid it's going to rain heavily!

"It's a pity that the old man was too impatient at the time, otherwise I would have painted a room full of auspicious signs for him first to ensure his success!"

As if sensing something, Youfang's eyelids suddenly moved.

"The old man's Qi..."

"It's getting weaker and weaker."

He sat up suddenly, turned his head to look in the direction of the bedroom, and his heart trembled.

And just then...

Rumble!

There was a sudden rumble of thunder, the sky turned gloomy, and the house became dim.

At the same time, as if affected by the thunder, the Qi in the bedroom began to fluctuate violently. The Qi, which was already getting weaker and weaker, was like a candle in the wind, and seemed about to go out.

"This thunder..."

"Ok?"

However, at this time, Youfang sensed something unusual. As a person who possessed the ability of "painting monsters", his perception of the world was stronger than that of ordinary people.

He could feel that there seemed to be some kind of connection between the thunder in the sky and the Qi in the bedroom?

He wasn't sure.

But that’s the feeling!

And then...

Whoosh!

After the rolling thunder, a loud thunder also came down. The dazzling lightning illuminated the sky, making Youfang squint his eyes.

And the next second, You Fang stood up suddenly, his eyes widened, revealing an incredible light in his eyes...

He clearly felt that at that moment, a force of lightning rushed into the bedroom opposite!

"Attracting the thunderbolt... Isn't this the method used by the Longhu Mountain Taoist sect?"

He subconsciously felt that something was wrong and wanted to break in to check.

Also at this time...

call!

The Qi in the bedroom suddenly disappeared, just like a burning candle being suddenly blown out.

You Fang was stunned where he was...

The mouth opened slightly.

moment……

Crash!

It was raining heavily outside. The raindrops hit the windowsill, bounced off, and fell on Youfang's body, giving him goose bumps.

Cold raindrops accompanied by cold wind continuously poured into the house. Youfang's body trembled unconsciously and his head slowly drooped.

pat!

pat!

After a while, water drops fell on the old wooden floor, making a slight sound, which was immediately drowned out by the sound of heavy rain outside.

I don’t know how long it has been...

"Ugh……"

Thousands of words converge into a sigh. Although he wants to be free and easy, when this day really comes, Youfang finally realizes that he is still young.

but……

Now that things have come to a conclusion, let's fulfill the agreement. This is what the old man wants most.

So, You Fang wiped his face vigorously, took out the urn that had been prepared long ago from the cabinet beside him, and then slowly...

Walk towards the bedroom.

Since the inside story of the death of Taoist Master Zuo of the Trinity Sect has been revealed, this chapter has been revised.

In addition, the old man’s description in this chapter is from an outsider’s perspective, and the disciples of the Trinity Sect must not know the inside story, so there is no problem.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 4: Bone-carrying Tour

2023-10-23

Seven days later.

early morning.

The sunlight shines through the window, illuminating the dim, dilapidated house.

Compared with before, there was not much change in the house, except for some more white cloth used to decorate the mourning hall.

In the middle of the living room, on the table where Huang Baishun had lain, a black-and-white portrait stood quietly on the urn. The old man in the photo had a smile on his face.

In front of the portrait was a spirit tablet, and in front of the tablet was an incense burner with incense sticks and two white candles, which were almost burning out.

besides……

There is also a basket of flowers in memory;

A lamp to illuminate the way;

A square of seven-treasure lotus water, pure and innocent;

A plate of fresh fruit as a tribute to the deceased;

A cup of fragrant tea, pure and natural;

A plate of steamed bread represents the storehouse of grains;

A book on the Trinity School, a family heirloom;

A precious orb, set in the urn;

The last thing was a shroud, placed in front of the table and neatly folded.

Incense, flowers, lamps, painted fruits, tea, snacks, and precious pearls.

These are the ten major offerings in the funeral hall, each with its own meaning.

at the same time……

Portraits are used to commemorate the deceased, tablets are used to mark the afterlife, three incense sticks represent heaven, earth and people, two candles represent yin and yang...

It can be seen that although the house is shabby and the mourning hall is simple, all the rules are fulfilled.
