Chapter 368 Li Mengyu
Chapter 368 Li Mengyu
Seeing that the atmosphere was somewhat tense, Li Lin hurriedly reminded a woman who was sewing clothes not far away:
"My lord, you are thirsty. Go and get some water."
"Oh~Oh!" The woman was stunned for a moment, then quickly came to her senses, turned around and walked towards the bamboo house.
The woman was not young, but perhaps because she lived in the Yuling Sect and was well nourished by the spiritual energy, she looked to be no more than twenty years old.
Seeing that everyone was still reserved, Changqing did not explain any more. Instead, he came to the front of the house and sat down on the steps in front of the door. Looking at the children who were still playing, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Sir, the floor is dirty. There is a chair here. You can sit here." Li Lin said as he moved a chair from a distance.
"No, Brother Li, I'll just drink some water and leave. I won't stay long. It's fine for me to sit like this~" Chang Qing declined.
Li Lin was even more surprised. He could always sense a sense of freedom and ease in Chang Qing's words. He was indeed somewhat different from those old-fashioned practitioners.
Seeing Chang Qing sitting on the ground without any image, unlike most of the sect's disciples, Li Lin felt a little more friendly towards him.
Li Lin put the chair aside and sat down on the steps next to Chang Qing. Looking at the children playing in the yard again, his previous nervousness in front of Chang Qing was relieved a lot.
"Young Master, I'm afraid you have just come to Yuling Sect not long ago?" Li Lin asked. He felt that Changqing did not have the cold and distant aura of a cultivator.
"Brother Li, you can just call me Changqing. I have been in Yuling for neither a long time nor a short time, but I am quite unfamiliar with the Yuling Sect. Otherwise, I would not have known that there is a village composed of registered disciples in the sect."
Changqing looked at the house built with bamboo and felt comfortable.
Chang Qing took the bowl handed to him by Li Lin’s wife and thanked her with a smile.
"In fact, we are already lucky. The sect pays us registered disciples a lot. Although they are all mundane things, they are just enough for us to settle down and live happily..."
Li Lin murmured, revealing a nostalgic look.
"Oh? It seems that Brother Li is a man with a story. Can you tell it to me?" Chang Qing looked at the man next to him and showed some interest.
Li Lin hesitated, sighed and said
"When we were young, who didn't want to be a god in the sky, flying through the sky and hiding in the ground, free and easy? At the beginning, we also came to Yuling Sect with the dream of becoming a god and seeking immortality. I stood out among tens of thousands of people and became a registered disciple. I think I was young and frivolous at that time~"
Li Lin couldn't help but sigh as he thought about his younger self.
Changqing nodded and looked at the formation formed by the star sand in the sky. Even in the daytime, it was still so dazzling.
Li Lin looked back on the past and continued:
“In the following years, even though the sect provided several pills of Chou Mu Dan, Li’s aptitude was dull and he could not sense the fluctuation of spiritual energy.
A few years later, I was disheartened and resigned myself to my fate. I took advantage of the annual travel opportunities provided by the sect and left the sect to return to the outside world. At that time, natural disasters were frequent. When I returned to the village, it had already been swept away by the flood, and my parents disappeared with it~"
"After building a cenotaph for my parents, I suddenly realized that even being a nominal disciple of a mortal is a million times more fortunate than the common people struggling to survive in this world. From then on, I returned to Yuling and settled down in Yuling Sect. More than a decade has passed, I have married and had children, and now I no longer hope for an immortal fate~"
Li Lin let out a long breath, looked at the women and children in the yard, and a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.
Chang Qing was a little dazed, and at some point he even thought that he was not as good as Li Lin.
“After all, how many people really caught a deer? They didn’t know they were dreaming of fish all day long~” Changqing sighed.
After a long while, Chang Qing finally raised his head and said, "Thinking about it this way, I am not as happy as you, Big Brother Li. I guess the mountain lacks some popularity."
"Sir, you are so embarrassed. How can one not envy the way of immortality? How many emperors in the mortal world would wish for immortality? Maybe when I die of old age, you will still be as young as this~"
Li Lin said with a smile, he felt that the person in front of him was a little different.
Chang Qing's heart moved, and his expression remained calm. He just smiled and didn't say anything. Instead, he waved his hand and called a few children who were playing to come over.
Each person was given a piece of yellow candy.
The candy was optimized by Changqing according to the recipe of Chou Miu Dan. It does not have the unique bitterness of Chou Miu Dan, is easier to eat, and people can't even feel that it is Chou Miu Dan.
When the children saw how approachable the immortal was, they were less afraid. They chewed their candies and looked at Changqing with their big watery eyes, full of curiosity.
"Brother Li, do you want to feel the spiritual energy?"
Chang Qing suddenly asked, looking at Li Lin, his eyes seeming to be seeking confirmation.
"Is it okay?" Li Lin's eyes lit up, dazzlingly bright.
Chang Qing looked at Li Lin, as if he saw another ambitious young man, but there was only curiosity in the young man's eyes, no longer any extravagant desires.
As if he had gotten the answer, Chang Qing smiled warmly and said, "Spiritual energy is worse than poison to mortals."
Chang Qing made a hand seal, and soon a wisp of white mist condensed at his fingertips.
"Brother Li, please catch it."
Li Lin could see nothing in his eyes, they were empty, but he still opened his hands.
Soon, Li Lin felt an intense burning sensation in the palm of his hand, and the pain was almost unbearable.
Fortunately, Changqing waved his hand in time, a breeze gradually rose, the burning sensation subsided, and Li Lin's back was already wet with sweat.
"Congratulations to Brother Li~" Chang Qing smiled slightly, drank the water in the bowl in one breath, put down the porcelain bowl, turned around and left without waiting for Li Lin to answer.
Li Lin came back to his senses and was confused as to why Chang Qing said that.
A child chewing candy beside him suddenly asked, "Dad, what was that white mist in your hand just now?"
There was a mysterious light in the eyes of the chubby kid.
Li Lin suddenly turned his head and looked at his child. He also saw the candy bulging between the child's cheeks. He suddenly understood what was going on. He looked in the direction where Chang Qing disappeared and was about to get up to chase Chang Qing.
But Changqing was no longer outside the door...
"Father of the child, the person has passed away a long time ago. Why are you so excited?" The woman also came out and asked curiously.
Li Lin opened his mouth several times, but was so excited that he could hardly speak. He was helped into the yard by the woman with his body trembling.
After sitting down for a long time, Li Lin called the child to his side, touched the child's head, smiled and said:
"Son, I didn't give you a name before. I just gave you a cheap name like a puppy, thinking that it would be easier to raise you. Didn't you always want a nice name?"
The chubby kid looked at his red-faced father, not knowing what was going on: "Dad, what name are you going to give me? You have to tell me in advance, if it's not nice, you have to reject it!"
"My father's surname is Li, so how about you call yourself Li Mengyu?" Li Lin said, looking at Gouwazi with expectation.
Gou Wa Zi thought for a while, nodded and said, "Li Mengyu, it sounds good, at least much better than Gou Wa Zi."
"From now on I will be called Li Mengyu." Li Mengyu shouted her name to people.
