Before telling Venerable Shenmu, Chen Xuan had guessed whether Venerable Shenmu would be frightened if he knew what he was like, but at this time, Venerable Shenmu was really frightened.
Moreover, Chen Xuan could feel the fright of Lord Shenmu directly.
"you......"
Venerable Shenmu looked at Chen Xuan in disbelief, his face full of disbelief.
In the previous few times, Chen Xuan had been saying that before long, his cultivation strength would surpass that of Lord Shenmu. At that time, Lord Shenmu just thought that Chen Xuan was showing off himself.
How fast his cultivation strength has grown.
Lord Shenmu never thought in his dreams that Chen Xuan would be such a reason.
Looking at the person in front of him, Venerable Shenmu was shocked.
Chen Xuan looked at Venerable Shenmu, pursed his lips and said: "Over the years, I have often asked about your physical condition. Although you said you are fine every time, I want you to let me feel you.
Even if my physical condition is different, you would always reject me.
Seeing your weight loss, as a friend, I really can't stand by and watch. Over the years, I have also given you so many elixir treatments, but they have no effect at all.
So, I listen to what you said, why not go and feel your physical condition myself."
As he spoke, Chen Xuan rubbed his tea cup with his fingers, then looked at Venerable Shenmu and said, "You know, in this world, people with high cultivation levels can sense people with lower levels of cultivation than themselves.
It depends on your physical condition, no matter what your condition is."
Chen Xuan has been plotting this for a long time.
It just means that while Chen Xuan is doing the task, he can also complete the thing that Chen Xuan wants.
Looking at Lord Shenmu silently, Chen Xuan and Lord Shenmu looked at each other at this time. It seemed that the only sound in the whole world could be heard was the sound of wind and falling leaves outside.
Venerable Shenmu also looked at Chen Xuan in disbelief. When he looked at Chen Xuan, he actually said in his heart.
I was touched and scared at the same time.
For so many years, Venerable Shenmu has actually been prepared for his own death.
It's just that Chen Xuan's appearance made Venerable Shenmu feel that he still wanted to live for a while longer.
After looking at Chen Xuan for a long time, Venerable Shenmu made a lot of mental preparations for himself, and then Venerable Shenmu finally calmed down his heart completely.
"I......"
From beginning to end, Venerable Shenmu only said two words in front of Chen Xuan.
You and I.
The two words "you and me" constitute the friendship between the two of them.
Chen Xuan looked at Lord Shenmu, and then said: "You can tell me what's going on. It doesn't matter if you don't. The next time I come here, I will definitely know what your physical condition is like.
of."
In fact, when he heard Chen Xuan say this, Venerable Shenmu already had the answer in his heart.
If you think about it, it is true that he and Chen Xuan have known each other for ten thousand years.
After such a long time, Venerable Shenmu could tell Chen Xuan this secret about himself.
Looking at Chen Xuan, Venerable Shenmu suddenly smiled bitterly.
"You kid..."
As he spoke, Venerable Shenmu lowered his head to hide the sadness in his eyes.
Based on the situation at that time, Chen Xuan had already guessed in his heart that this was a big problem, but Chen Xuan felt that he could solve it no matter what the situation was.
"You tell me now, or do you wait until I find out later? You don't have to feel pressure. No matter when I find out, I will do my best to help you.
But if you really don’t have any problems, then of course I’ll be happy with it.”
After hearing Chen Xuan's words, Venerable Shenmu sobbed.
Chen Xuan frowned slightly when he heard the voice.
He didn't know whether Venerable Shenmu was moved at this time, or because the matter was really serious, so before speaking, Venerable Shenmu was afraid.
What Chen Xuan didn't know was that these two points actually existed in Venerable Shenmu's heart.
Venerable Shenmu was deeply moved by Chen Xuan, but in fact, Venerable Shenmu himself had completely digested this matter.
Even if Venerable Shenmu is about to leave this world at this time, Venerable Shenmu will not feel any discomfort.
But Chen Xuan seems to be different.
When Venerable Shenmu communicated with Chen Xuan before, Chen Xuan also revealed that he didn't have many friends.
The last friend just left Chen Xuan and went to another world and met the Lord Shenmu. Although Chen Xuan didn't say it, the Lord Shenmu himself could actually feel it.
At this time, Chen Xuan probably already regarded Chen Xuan as his best friend.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been communicating with Venerable Shenmu frequently for such a long time, and I wouldn’t have talked to Venerable Shenmu about everything.
But it was because of this appearance that Venerable Shenmu felt really uncomfortable in his heart when he told Chen Xuan the truth.
After telling Chen Xuan this matter, Venerable Shenmu felt that Chen Xuan might not be able to accept it.
Looking at Chen Xuan, after a long while, Venerable Shenmu nodded to him.
Even if he couldn't accept it, Venerable Shenmu had no choice but to tell Chen Xuan about this matter at this time.
There is no other option for Shenmu Zun.
Before, Chen Xuan could be concealed, but now Chen Xuan's cultivation strength will soon surpass that of Venerable Shenmu. After surpassing Venerable Shenmu, Chen Xuan will be able to know Venerable Shenmu's physical condition.
If I had known a little earlier, I might have digested it earlier.
Nodding to Chen Xuan, Venerable Shenmu said: "Since I can no longer hide it from you, I am not satisfied. I don't have to wait until you come to see it in person next time. I will tell you everything right now.
"
After hearing what Venerable Shenmu said, Chen Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.
But then he brought it up again.
He was relieved because Venerable Shenmu finally relented after so many years, but he was relieved because Chen Xuan could foresee this matter in his heart and it might be a really serious problem.
Watching Master Shenmu Chen Xuan concentrate his attention.
"Actually, when I was born, my health was very poor and I was born weak. The doctor judged that I would not live to be more than one year old.
My biological parents were just ordinary farmers, and their cultivation strength was almost non-existent. There was no difference between existence and non-existence. The two of them could not support me, so they abandoned me in the sacred forest.
Originally, I seemed to be about to die at that time, but it was the sacred forest that saved me. The forest gave me strength and allowed me to live in this world.
In fact, if you are careful, you may be able to find that my skin at this time looks like the texture of a tree?"
Hearing this, Chen Xuan frowned. Chen Xuan seemed to have noticed this before, but after Chen Xuan discovered it, he really didn't make any association with it.
I thought it was the wrinkles caused by Venerable Shenmu's poor health.
At this time, after Lord Shenmu said it himself, Chen Xuan looked at Lord Shenmu's skin again. It really looked like the texture of a tree.
"What's going on?" Chen Xuan asked.
"This is because the strength in my body, as well as my longevity and other things, are all given by the forest, but at this time, the sacred forest has not given me strength for a long time."
After hearing what Venerable Shenmu said, Chen Xuan was actually a little hard to understand.
Looking at Venerable Shenmu, Chen Xuandao said: "Is there any relationship between the two?"
"have."
Venerable Shenmu nodded slowly.
"The power of the forest is the power of the trees. These powers are in me. After a long time, I assimilated. At this time, I am more like a tree, turning into a human tree."
As he spoke, Venerable Shenmu smiled lightly, and then said: "But, in the end, I am just a human being, so if I were to sit down naturally, my bones would be the same as those of ordinary people."
"Then what if it's not natural sitting?" Chen Xuan remembered the place where Lord Shenmu led him to because he had planted five hundred trees.
At that time, Venerable Shenmu stretched out his hand into the forest. After just extending it for a moment, Venerable Shenmu's hand became blank.
"If I hadn't been born naturally, I might have become a seed, and then I would have taken root in the forest where I died."
While saying this, Venerable Shenmu kept staring at Chen Xuan.
"If I become a seed, then I will no longer have a soul and I will not be reincarnated."
Hearing this, Chen Xuan frowned. He seemed to be able to understand something vaguely.
But Chen Xuan actually understood it too well.
If Venerable Shenmu is not sitting down naturally, and he is sitting down naturally, what is the difference between the two?
Chen Xuan heard what Venerable Shenmu said, and then asked: "What is the connection between the two, and what is the difference?"
Venerable Shenmu understood Chen Xuan's doubts, so he replied: "As a natural sitting person, I am still my human being, so I can still have a soul and walk around in this world.
If it wasn't natural sitting, then I would definitely use the power of the forest before I die.
When the time comes, because of this forest, we will definitely no longer be able to have our own self."
After Venerable Shenmu explained it, Chen Xuancai really understood this.
It is understandable, after all, the survival of Lord Shenmu is inseparable from the Shenmu Forest.
Chen Xuan can understand this, and Chen Xuan can also understand the relationship between them.
"Then why is your body getting thinner and thinner? You just said that the sacred forest has not given you strength for a long, long time. What is the reason for this? Will you die without this strength?"
When he heard Chen Xuan's words, even though Venerable Shenmu had already been mentally prepared, the moment Chen Xuan said it, Venerable Shenmu still felt a pain in his heart.
"I am able to live in this world only by relying on the power of the sacred forest. Once the sacred forest stops giving me power, my body will gradually return to its previous state and at the same time assimilate like a tree.
If it were to sit naturally, there would be a skeleton of me left in this world; if it had not been to sit naturally, then I would only be left as a seed."
"The sacred forest has actually given me a lot of power. I don't know the reason, but I know in my heart that it's okay if it doesn't give it to me. Because of this power, I have lived for tens of thousands of years longer.
,I am already very grateful.”
In fact, Venerable Shenmu didn't seem to have said anything up to this point, but Chen Xuan already seemed to know everything.
"Is this the reason for your health?"
Venerable Shenmu nodded when he heard this, then smiled bitterly and said: "It's really just because of this."
Chen Xuan looked at Lord Shenmu, and then pursed his lips. Chen Xuan didn't know what to say for a moment.
In this world, birth, aging, illness and death are actually very common things. Chen Xuan has seen many, many people die in front of his eyes.
There are strangers, familiar people, and close friends.
Originally, Chen Xuan actually felt that he had taken life and death lightly.
At least for himself, he felt that he had taken life and death lightly.
But for others, Chen Xuan still felt that he could not accept the death of others.
This other person actually has a fixed person.
Not everyone would die, but Chen Xuan would not let go.
Only those who treat Chen Xuan sincerely will Chen Xuan be reluctant to let go.
At that time, Chen Xuan looked at Venerable Shenmu and knew that this was something that could not be interfered with, but he felt very, very sad in his heart.
"The sacred forest will no longer give you power, but I will give you power in the future.
Isn't it just strength? I have more of it."
When he said this, Chen Xuan looked determined.
To be honest, when Chen Xuan said this, Lord Shenmu was once again shocked by Chen Xuan.
He looked at Chen Xuan in a daze for a while, and then after a short while, tears began to flow from Venerable Shenmu's eyes.
Chen Xuan looked at Venerable Shenmu, and at this time he was sure that Venerable Shenmu was moved.
However, at that time, Chen Xuan still really believed that he could give Venerable Shenmu the power to keep Venerable Shenmu alive.
"Don't be too moved. You're old enough. If you are really moved, just stay with me more in the future."
Hearing Chen Xuan's words of companionship, Venerable Shenmu shed more tears.
At this time, Chen Xuan thought that Venerable Shenmu was still moved.
Smiling and waving his hands, he said, "Old man, stop crying."
"useless."
Chen Xuan still had a smile on his face.
Originally, Chen Xuan really thought that Venerable Shenmu was hopeless.
At that time, Chen Xuan had already thought that no matter what price he paid, he would keep Lord Shenmu.
But when he heard the words of Venerable Shenmu, Chen Xuan suddenly felt that he might be able to keep Venerable Shenmu.
But at this time, I heard Venerable Shenmu speak again.
Chen Xuan actually didn't hear the first sentence clearly.
Because Chen Xuan was happy and Venerable Shenmu was sad, one of them could not hear clearly and the other could not explain clearly.
This resulted in Chen Xuan not hearing what Venerable Shenmu said in time.
"What did you say?" Chen Xuan asked Venerable Shenmu. At this time, Chen Xuan still had a smile on his face.
"I said, it's useless."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan asked: "What's useless?"
Venerable Shenmu's face gradually raised, and his wrinkled face was now covered with tears.
Chen Xuan himself didn't know if this was an illusion. When he saw the Venerable Shenmu like this, Chen Xuan suddenly felt that the Venerable Shenmu seemed to be aging again.
This discovery really shocked Chen Xuan.
At that time, the smile on Chen Xuan's face gradually solidified.
Because Chen Xuan really knew what Venerable Shenmu was talking about.
It's just that Chen Xuan was really shocked by the extreme sadness on Venerable Shenmu's face.
"Except for the power given to me by the sacred forest, I cannot survive with any other power."
After struggling for a long time, Venerable Shenmu finally said this.
What was the situation at that time? When Lord Shenmu heard that Chen Xuan wanted to give him strength just so that Lord Shenmu could stay with him alive, he couldn't hold on anymore.
He knew the final outcome, and he knew that Chen Xuan would still have to exist alone in this world in the end. Therefore, looking at Chen Xuan who was still dreaming about being able to save himself, Venerable Shenmu's heart was really
Feeling extremely uncomfortable.
Venerable Shenmu felt that this was too cruel, not only cruel to Chen Xuan, but also cruel to Venerable Shenmu himself.
Obviously these are two lonely people and their friendship is so, but why should they be treated like this?
Venerable Shenmu didn't understand very much.
For so many days, every time Lord Shenmu felt that his face had changed, he never complained about Shenmu Forest, because Lord Shenmu knew in his heart that Shenmu Forest itself could not save him.
But the Shenmu Forest saved him, and even the Lord Shenmu could not finish his lifelong love.
If there is no sacred forest, then who is the sacred tree?
Lord Shenmu has always maintained a grateful heart towards the Shenmu Forest. He has never complained that the Shenmu Forest suddenly stopped giving him power.
But when he saw Chen Xuan, when he knew what Chen Xuan was thinking, Lord Shenmu complained about Shenmu Forest for the first time.
Why give him life and let him experience such suffering?
But after thinking about it carefully, maybe this is the fate between them.
Not only the fate of Venerable Shenmu, but also the fate of Chen Xuan.
Perhaps kings are destined to be lonely, and Chen Xuan can only be alone on the road to becoming king.
"What do you mean? Why?" Chen Xuan looked at Venerable Shenmu. The smile on his face really solidified. His joy was still there, but at this time, Venerable Shenmu had completely beaten him.
Hit rock bottom.
Venerable Shenmu looked at Chen Xuan and felt that he was filled with endless sadness.
He thought in his heart, maybe this is fate, this is the fate that the two of them must experience.
He accompanied Chen Xuan for a period of time, allowing Chen Xuan to gradually grow on the road to becoming king. When Chen Xuan grew to a certain stage, the person who accompanied him would leave.
The last person who stayed, the king who stayed, was Chen Xuan.
