Shu Han was sitting by the window drinking, while Shangguan Ruolin was taking pills one by one.
However, after sipping the elixir all the time, she couldn't help but feel a bitter taste in her mouth. Shangguan Ruolin snatched Shu Han's wine flask, poured herself a large glass, and said: "I have never tasted mortal wine, so I will make an exception to taste it today.
"
As he spoke, he held a large cup and drank it.
"Senior, you can't drink so much at one time..."
As the spirit entered her mouth, Shangguan Ruolin's face turned red. She hurriedly fanned her mouth with her little hand and shouted: "Why is this stuff so spicy... But there is a hint of sweetness in the spiciness, and there is also the fragrance of the bamboo forest... Not bad,
It’s delicious!”
Shu Han:……
After that, Shangguan Ruolin took pills and drank strong wine at the same time. The more she ate and drank, the more she got drunk.
Shu Han laughed in his heart. It seemed that not only did his body become smaller, but his mind was also slightly affected.
He couldn't believe that the girl in front of him was the all-powerful and cold Shangguan Ruolin.
After waiting for a while, the shopkeeper led a girl in Tsing Yi to the guest room.
The girl has a graceful appearance and is far from as charming as Shangguan Ruolin, but she is still a beauty. When Qin Xueer saw Shu Han, she quickly saluted: "Junior Qin Xueer, see the senior, what does the senior have to do with Xueer?
"
"Miss Xue'er, don't be so formal, sit down!"
Qin Xueer sat down and looked at Shu Han with a blank expression.
Shu Han said: "Actually, I came here this time just to return something." After that, he put Lin Guangwen's storage bag on the table. When Qin Xueer saw the storage bag, her slender hands held back.
She couldn't help but twitch, and she said blankly: "This is Guangwen's storage bag... Senior, what happened to him..."
Seeing Qin Xueer's eager eyes, Shu Han really didn't know how to speak, but he still told Qin Xueer the truth.
Shu Han said at the end, sighing: "Brother Lin Guangwen is a good person, but he happened to meet a traitor. I think he was thinking about you before he died, otherwise this storage bag wouldn't be full of writing
This is a letter for you, so I came to look for you. It contains the spiritual stones he dug out from the bottom of the mine, and I also gave them to you. I hope his spirit can rest in peace in heaven."
Qin Xueer listened blankly to Shu Han's last words.
She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and said to herself: "Xue'er originally has four spiritual roots, and the road to cultivation is difficult. The reason why she can cultivate to the fifth level is all the help of Guangwen all the way."
I have long been willing to commit myself to him, and he doesn’t have to..." Then she stood up with a trembling body, knelt in front of Shu Han, and said in a trembling voice: "Senior can travel thousands of miles to bring his last news to this junior, it is a great kindness.
, I can’t thank you enough.”
Shu Han helped her up and persuaded her, "Girl, you can take care of yourself."
Qin Xueer stood up and said, "I want to hold a funeral for Guangwen in two days. Is Senior available to attend?"
"must!"
Qin Xueer bowed respectfully again and left the inn alone.
Shangguan Ruolin took the medicine and said: "This girl didn't shed a single tear. Most of her heart has already lost Lin Guangwen. Why are you wasting your time attending the funeral? Hurry up and find a sect to join."
Shu Han saw Qin Xueer's lonely voice from the window and said: "Senior, you are wrong, tears don't mean anything. There is nothing greater than grief. She is already heartbroken. Hey, I hope she can live well."
"
"My heart is broken because of a man. I think that girl is not a smart person either."
Shu Han originally planned to stay in this inn for a day or two, but early the next morning, he and Shangguan Ruolin stood on the street opposite, looking at the inn that had become ruins, with blank expressions on their faces.
Shangguan Ruolin held her head, frowned and said, "Boy, why do I have such a severe headache? Is there something wrong with your medicine? And I don't remember what I did last night at all."
Shu Han's eyes almost rolled out of his head.
Look at the innkeeper kneeling in front of the ruins and crying. Does he have the nerve to say he doesn't know what he did?
Finally, Shu Han said helplessly: "Senior, you can't drink anymore."
With that said, Shu Han walked up to the shopkeeper and dropped a small bag of spiritual stones.
The next day, Shu Han and Shangguan Ruolin attended Lin Guangwen's funeral as scheduled.
At the funeral, Lin Guangwen's parents, who were nearly seventy years old, almost fainted from crying. They heard that Lin Guangwen was the only son of the Lin family. This scene made Shu Han couldn't help but think of his parents and sighed in his heart. If he had died in Longxuanmen, the two elders would have known
, I’m afraid I’ll be heartbroken too.
Qin Xueer, dressed in plain clothes, attended the funeral as the widow of the Lin family.
Her face was pale and she was in a daze. She came to Shu Han, handed over a drawing, and said: "The Lin family is deeply grateful to the elders for their great kindness, but the Lin family has nothing to repay. This is a formation pattern handed down from the younger generation's family.
, no one has been able to successfully refine it for several generations, so the junior thought it might be useful to the senior, so he gave it to the senior."
Shu Han pinched the formation pattern diagram, glanced at it, and saw the words "Jue Yin Heart-breaking Formation".
Then he looked worriedly at Qin Xueer, who was in a daze, and advised: "Miss Xueer, there is no resurrection after death. Please bear with me and accept his wishes, and live a good life with his last wishes."
Qin Xueer forced out a smile and bowed deeply to Shu Han.
After coming out of the Lin family, Shangguan Ruolin said in confusion: "Mortals are emotionally fragile, but if a child dies, they will have to live or die."
Shu Han said: "Senior's words are wrong. A mortal's life is short, ranging from seventy or eighty years at most to forty or fifty years at least. To conceive a child, it takes ten months to conceive, more than ten years to take care of it, more than ten years to worry about it, and wait until you are old.
After that, I still need to be supported by my children for more than ten years. I have invested most of my life and love every time. How can I not be heartbroken when a white-haired person sends a black-haired person?"
Shangguan Ruolin was silent for a long time after hearing this.
Finally, she said: "Listening to what you said, I finally understand why people say that immortality is ruthless."
Shu Han was surprised: "What's the explanation?"
Shangguan Ruolin asked: "Why do mortals raise offspring?"
Shu Han pondered for a while and replied: "The first is for family inheritance, the second is to express feelings, and the third is to provide for one's retirement."
Shangguan Ruolin said: "First, the life span of monks can be extended as their cultivation level increases. For example, Yuanying monks can live for ten thousand years. One person can inherit it for hundreds of generations. Naturally, they will not consider the so-called inheritance issue. They only
I will consider how to increase my cultivation and extend my life."
"Secondly, relying on emotions is a joke. For monks, strength and status are the only pursuits. Very few monks would waste their emotions on their heirs."
"Thirdly, monks do not have the problem of caring for themselves until they die. Most mortals cannot take care of themselves when they are old. But this is not the case for monks. The older they get, the deeper their cultivation becomes."
"Therefore, monks have neither practical nor emotional needs for children. And like the great monks in the Nascent Soul stage, with a long life of ten thousand years, as long as they are willing, they can give birth to thousands of children. If a few die, there is no need to feel sad.
That’s right! We high-ranking immortal cultivators are ruthless to our families, how can we talk about being affectionate to others?”
Having said this, Shu Han clearly saw Shangguan Ruolin clenching her fists tightly, with a look of loneliness on her face.
