The old man in gray shirt begged for death so directly, which really shocked Ning Ruirui and Shi Chun.
"Grandpa, isn't it good to live? Why are you seeking death?"
Shi Chun looked at the condition of the old man in gray shirt. He didn't seem to be seriously ill or dying, which was a little strange.
Ning Ruirui had the same doubts as Shi Chun: "I see that the old gentleman is in good spirits and in good health, so why would he want to die?"
"Of course the cost of living is more painful than death."
The old man in gray shirt looked at Shi Chun lovingly and said with a smile: "If you are as full of life as you, little girl, who would be willing to die?"
Shi Chun said seriously: "Then if I give you some life, can the old man continue to live?"
"Haha, these are the most true and pure words in the world."
The old man in gray shirt shook his head and said, "I appreciate your kindness, but I will never do anything like seizing young people to continue my old life."
Ning Ruirui then asked: "What is the situation that makes the old gentleman insist on seeking death?"
“Mr.
The old man in gray shirt did not answer directly, but looked at Xia Tian, "The old man's question is too complicated. It may not be possible to finish it in three days and three nights. Besides, I don't want to waste precious time, so I just want to ask Mr. Xia for an accurate answer."
talk."
Xia Tian yawned lazily: "I can definitely see your situation at a glance.
It would be easy to let you die, but why should I do it?"
"That's right. No one will do anything that is not beneficial."
The old man in gray shirt nodded, agreeing with Xia Tian's words, and then put forward his own conditions: "Of course I won't let Mr.
It’s yours, sir.”
"Not interested in."
Xia Tian curled his lips and glared at the old man in gray shirt again: "And you, old man, actually want to trick me, so I'll give you a fight, right?"
Shi Chun's brain circuit was actually similar to Xia Tian's, and he immediately heard the implication: "Grandpa, there must be quite a problem with this Celestial Being Association of yours. If you want my brother-in-law to take over, it's best to be more honest.
There is no use in scheming."
"Miss Shi is right, it's an old habit that has fallen into disgrace."
The old man in gray shirt apologized directly, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I just know that Mr. Xia is not short of money, women, and has no hobbies... I really don't know what conditions can satisfy Mr. Xia."
"Grandpa, you are wrong."
Shi Chun said seriously: "My brother-in-law is not short of money or women, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't like money and beautiful women. As long as you give enough money and the beautiful women who come to your door are beautiful enough, he will still be moved.
"
Ning Ruirui deeply agreed with Shi Chun's words, but she was also slightly wary of the old man in gray clothes. There must be quite a problem with this so-called Celestial Society.
"Young girl, you are talking nonsense again."
Xia Tian glared at Shi Chun unhappily, "Do you really think I don't dare to hit you?"
"Brother-in-law, you must be reluctant to part with me."
Shi Chun said with a smile: "Besides, I seem to be right."
Xia Tian didn't even bother to refute, because Shi Chun was indeed right.
"As for money, our Celestial Being Association does have a lot of money. As long as Mr. Xia agrees to be the president, it will all belong to you."
The old man in gray shirt sighed, and said helplessly: "Of course, if we only have money, Mr. Xia might take action.
The old man then sent two pieces of news that Mr. Xia might be interested in, which is considered his sincerity."
"what news?"
Xia Tian asked casually.
The old man in gray shirt opened his mouth to say something, but suddenly choked and started coughing.
Ning Feiye, who was standing by the side, immediately took out a few black pills from his pocket, poured a glass of the same black water, and handed it over respectfully.
The old man in gray shirt took the water and pills, swallowed the pills first, and then the water.
"Old man, in fact, if you really want to die, just continue to take these pills, and you will be able to do it in a short time."
Xia Tian said lazily at this time.
“Mr.
After the old man in gray shirt also drank the black water, he pushed the cup away with a slightly painful expression on his face: "Taking this elixir regularly can reduce vitality and increase the death energy in the body.
It's a pity that these pills are becoming less and less available, and their effect on the elderly is getting less and less, so it is not realistic to rely on them to realize the wish of the elderly."
"This is strange."
Shi Chun was a little confused, "Grandpa, what you just meant was that you wanted to die because you lacked vitality, so why are you taking pills that can reduce vitality?"
"That's the contradiction."
The old man in gray shirt sighed deeply, "To make this question clear, we have to mention how the so-called [Celestial Being] was born."
"
"I have nothing to do anyway, so it doesn't hurt to listen."
Ning Ruirui is indeed very interested in [Heavenly Man], especially how Qian Minmin became what he is now.
"Presumably the three of you have heard of the so-called three secret realms."
The old man in gray shirt said slowly: "The emergence of [Heavenly Man] is related to these three secret realms."
Ning Ruirui narrowed her head slightly. She had already guessed that it must have something to do with that secret realm, but she had no idea what was going on.
"There are three major secret realms on the earth, namely Heavenly Palace, Guixu and Netherworld. They are all places full of spiritual energy, and there are countless treasures for cultivating immortals. It is said that they are all blessed places in the cave that have been passed down for nearly ten thousand years."
The old man in gray shirt told a story in a eloquent tone, "Of course, ordinary people don't know these so-called three secret realms. Only those who cultivate immortals and those who have chance know.
The old man is not a cultivator of immortality. It was precisely because of an opportunity more than five hundred years ago that he mistakenly entered the secret realm of the netherworld."
"Um?"
Shi Chun sounded a little confused and couldn't help but ask: "More than five hundred years ago, you were not an old grandfather, but an old lady and grandfather."
"It doesn't matter. When I entered the secret realm, I was already over sixty years old, and my age will no longer increase in the secret realm."
The old man in gray shirt chuckled twice and said to Shi Chun: "The old man was trapped in the secret realm of the netherworld for about three to four hundred years. Then an accident happened in the secret realm. The entire secret realm collapsed, and all the people in the secret realm collapsed.
All living things were shocked to death, including the elderly."
"and after?"
When Ning Ruirui heard this, she couldn't help but think of the secret realm of Guixu under the sea, which collapsed because of the self-destruction of the mysterious man in black.
Shi Chun then asked: "Yes, grandpa, how did you survive later?"
"When the secret realm collapses, the large amount of spiritual energy hidden in it will naturally scatter in all directions."
The old man in gray shirt continued, "I don't know whether it was luck or misfortune. Although the old man died, his body was still intact. After being washed and washed by a large amount of spiritual energy, he somehow came back to life.
Of course, I later begged a few people who survived like me."
Hearing this, Ning Ruirui couldn't help but ask: "You have become the so-called [celestial beings]?"
"good."
The old man in gray clothes nodded and said with some emotion: "Anyone who dies in the secret realm, has all the blood in his body drained, and then is washed by a huge amount of spiritual energy and comes back to life, is the so-called "celestial being"
].
These people have already died once and have no blood. If they want to survive, they must maintain the supply of spiritual energy, and because the spiritual energy has penetrated the body, they also have some abilities that are beyond ordinary people."
"Then isn't this good?"
Shi Chun thought for a while and said with envy: "You don't have to suffer the pain that others have to suffer, and you have power beyond ordinary people."
The old man in gray shirt opened his mouth to explain something, but he coughed violently again, and had no choice but to look at Ning Feiye beside him.
"The crux of the matter is aura."
At this time, Ning Feiye took the place of the old man in gray and continued, "First of all, if [Celestial beings] want to survive, they must be supported by spiritual energy. However, the spiritual energy on earth is known to be very thin and cannot satisfy our needs at all.
needs; secondly, if there is no spiritual energy to support us, we will not die, but become a mummy, possessing all human consciousness and feelings, but unable to move, we can only accumulate spiritual energy bit by bit, and wait quietly
The day of recovery; thirdly, [Celestial Being]’s demand for spiritual energy will increase day by day. This is almost impossible to change. At present, it can only be suppressed by the Shengsha Pill refined by the old president.
But in fact, every [celestial being] has a limit. When one day it reaches this limit, it will become an eternal mummy, or a sculpture that can only breathe."
"That's pretty miserable."
Shi Chun imagined that scene, and his body suddenly shuddered, "In other words, I would probably want to die."
The old man in gray shirt finally came to his senses at this time, and said to Xia Tian: "The old man is reaching his limit, and he only has half a year left at most.
I don’t want to end up like that, so I want to ask Mr. Xia for help, please grant me."
"Grandpa, actually I still have a doubt."
Shi Chun suddenly raised his hand.
The old man in gray shirt smiled and said: "Miss Shi, please tell me, I don't know how to raise my hand."
Shi Chun asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Since you know that my brother-in-law is the best doctor in the world, why don't you just ask him to help you lift that restriction? Why do you have to ask for death?"
The old man in gray shirt smiled calmly: "Because I have lived enough and I am tired of living."
Shi Chun, who was still in his youth, could not understand this reason, but he admired him very much when he saw the old man being so calm.
"I also said that I won't let Mr. Xia work in vain."
The old man in gray shirt looked at Xia Tian and said solemnly: "In addition to handing over the Heavenly Man Society to Mr. Xia unconditionally, I will also give you two more messages.
One is about the Little Fairy World, and the other is about the Eight Needles Against Heaven, I think Mr. Xia might be interested."
