Chapter 2014 A flash in the pan
Shui Ruoqing was a little confused and asked: "Brother, are you really not going to meet these people?"
Xuan Mu gave a bitter smile and said, "If Uncle Zhang hadn't been on his deathbed, I might not have come back to this place. I feel relieved to have you taking care of everything."
Xuan Mu had never had any doubts about Shui Ruoqing's ability. If Shui Ruoqing couldn't trust him, Xuanmu didn't know who else he could trust.
Xuan Mu came to Uncle Zhang's house, and Lin Fan temporarily put up a barrier here.
Yue Lingxiao whispered: "Lin Fan, what are you doing?"
Lin Fan smiled slightly and said: "This is the last time the two of them will see each other. It's better to give them more time. Uncle Zhang's spiritual power will temporarily recover by a few percent in this barrier."
"He will not look like an old man. Instead, he will look like what Xuan Mu remembered when he was young. But it is better not to let others see this scene."
Yue Lingxiao was very surprised and said: "Return to his old age? Could it be that the delicacies and fine wine and jade dew brought from that fairy mountain can also help him recover?"
Lin Fan did not hesitate at all, waved his hand and said: "This is impossible, those are just ordinary things, not as exaggerated as the monster said."
"He deliberately made it so mysterious so that others wouldn't underestimate it. There are a lot of these things. After you eat them, you will know what they taste like."
"Okay." Yue Lingxiao has always believed Lin Fan's words, and this time it is naturally the same.
After everyone ate some delicacies and drank the so-called nectar, they realized that the taste was not that good at all, not even as delicious as the ones made in ordinary inns.
The sword spirit frowned slightly and said: "Master, this doesn't taste good, and it doesn't look like nectar. That monster is deceiving you."
Lin Fan was not surprised at all and said: "No matter who goes to that fairy mountain, they will be affected by the spiritual veins there."
"This will lead to the mistaken belief that all this is a fairyland, and even these things become less like mundane things. In fact, everything is like a dream."
It sounds nice to say it this way, but in fact it is more like being in an illusion, which makes everyone have such an illusion.
Sword Spirit suddenly realized that this was the reason why the monster was worried about being disturbed by others.
At this time, Xuan Mu came to Uncle Zhang and said softly: "Uncle Zhang, I'm back, I'm Xuan Mu."
Hearing this familiar voice, Uncle Zhang slowly opened his eyes, and the appearance of the person in front of him slowly became clear.
"It's you, Xuanmu."
At this time, just as Lin Fan said, Uncle Zhang's appearance had become much younger, and his skill had temporarily recovered by several percent.
Uncle Zhang was very happy and said: "Xuan Mu, this must be your contribution. You are the Lord of the Demon City and the person who protects the ancient treasures. You have this ability."
Xuan Mu couldn't help but feel a little sad, but he didn't want to make Uncle Zhang sad, so he could only lie and said: "Yes, but all this is just a flash in the pan, Uncle Zhang, I'm sorry!"
Xuan Mu never intended to hide anything. He knew that after a stick of incense passed, Uncle Zhang's time had come. He thought that if Uncle Zhang hadn't tried his best, he wouldn't be in such a miserable state now.
Xuanmu once promised that Uncle Zhang would live out his old age in peace, but he passed away before his mission was completed. How could he fulfill his original promise?
This apology is Xuanmu's guilt and regret for the rest of his life. But even if he had to do it over again, Xuanmu would still make such a choice.
What he regretted most was not arranging everything about Uncle Zhang.
Uncle Zhang had a smile on his face, but tears flashed in his eyes as he said, "Xuanmu, I know it's very difficult for you to be in such a position."
"You are still so young, and you have encountered these things. You have always done a good job, and you have nothing to apologize to me for."
"I am also from the Demon City. If I can come back at this last time and see you like this, my wish for the rest of my life has been fulfilled and I will never have any regrets.
"You have been missing for so long, and I know that you are suffering everything silently. While I still have some spiritual power, I am willing to use it to help you complete your mission."
Xuan Mu was shocked and said: "Uncle Zhang, do you know everything?"
Uncle Zhang gave a bitter smile and said, "Yes, those words just now were just a test. You are still the same as before. You have always been responsible for everything."
"Now you can only wander outside the three realms. My spiritual power is low and I can't change everything. This is the only thing I can do."
After saying this, Uncle Zhang transferred all his spiritual power to Xuan Mu without any reservation. When all was done, Uncle Zhang returned to his old appearance, fell to the ground, and never opened his eyes again.
No more words were left.
Uncle Zhang has never had any regrets in doing these things. Why is this path not his choice?
Xuan Mu looked at Uncle Zhang in front of him and couldn't help but shed tears. He said, "Thank you very much, Uncle Zhang. I will definitely do my best to complete all this."
At the same time, the barrier disappeared, and Lin Fan and his party arrived at this place.
Yue Lingxiao looked very panicked and said, "How come it's so fast? Isn't there still time for one stick of incense?"
Xuan Mu choked up and said, "None of this has been hidden from Uncle Zhang. He knew about it, so he gave me all his spiritual power to complete my mission."
"It's just a pity that when we went to that fairy mountain, Uncle Zhang didn't have time to eat some of the things we brought back."
Shui Ruoqing shed tears and walked to Uncle Zhang's side and said: "Brother, please forgive me and accept the change. You see, Uncle Zhang left with a smile."
"Perhaps he came to this place just to see you for the last time. This is his last wish."
Xuan Mu didn't say anything more. He could only arrange Uncle Zhang's funeral arrangements as soon as possible before leaving the Blue Demon Realm again.
Things here were over, and those so-called rumors had not come true. Only then did Lin Fan and his party leave with peace of mind.
On the way, Yue Lingxiao frowned and asked, "Lin Fan, I still haven't figured it out. When did Uncle Zhang know Xuan Mu's true identity?"
"The time in the barrier was too short, and he had no time to judge. Unless Uncle Zhang knew from the beginning that you were not Xuan Mu at all, he would be waiting for the real Xuan Mu to appear."
Lin Fan had a deep look in his eyes and said with a smile: "For Uncle Zhang, Xuan Mu is the most important person, how could he not be able to tell the difference?"
"So-called white lies are ultimately just deceiving oneself and others, and are of no use at all."
As soon as these words came out, Yue Lingxiao suddenly realized that Uncle Zhang knew from the moment he met Lin Fan that this was not the real Xuan Mu.
It is really rare for a person who is about to run out of fuel to be so clear-headed at the last moment for the most important person.
In fact, the reason why Lin Fan said this was exactly what Uncle Zhang meant.
When Uncle Zhang saw Lin Fan appearing with Shui Ruoqing, he knew that this person was very trustworthy, but he didn't want to make others worry, so he deliberately asked Lin Fan to pretend.
