MTL - I Am The Only One Who Doesn’t Know I Am The Master-Chapter 41 Borrow another 500 years from the sky

The corner of the old man's mouth twitched slightly.

Even though he has no love for life, he can't help but be a little confused when he hears this young man's "greetings" at this time. Is the secular folk customs already so unsophisticated?

Originally, he thought that if this young man was here to comfort him, he could give this young man a chance...

Alas, the world is so sad...

Just wait to die.

The old man continued to face ashes, his eyes were empty, and he pretended not to hear.

Lin Zhishui squatted beside the old man, observing the old man's reaction without revealing a trace.

Before, he had met such people who had lost hope in life, so he understood that for such desperate people, ordinary chicken soup for the soul was useless. They couldn't listen and didn't want to listen. will react.

This old man can be seen from the photos, the kind of bookishness and elegance, obviously a person with experience.

Ordinary rhetoric is probably meaningless.

Must be surprisingly successful.

"I know you heard that."

Lin Zhishui squatted beside him, keenly observed the muscle changes at the corners of the old man's mouth, and said, "Maybe you have suffered some setbacks, but I don't care, don't think about it, I didn't plan to persuade you to live a good life."

The old man forcibly controlled the twitching of the corners of his mouth, resisting the urge to slap this mortal flying away with a slap, and continued to lie still.

"It can be seen that you are half-in-the-earth, and you are not far from the deadline. There is nothing wrong with your way of dying."

Lin Zhishui habitually did not speak human words: "After all, life in this world has both life and death, whether it is a hard life, a carefree life, or a life like you, there is no escape from death in the end. "

The old man rolled his eyes slightly, glanced at Lin Zhishui, then slowly turned around and lay on his side, leaving him with the back of his head, and said in a hoarse and low voice, "Then let me die in peace."

"You want to die peacefully? So, you still care about your experience before you die."

Lin Zhishui struck while the iron was hot: "However, what difference does it make if you are quiet before you die? Once you die, no matter what dreams you once had, no matter how brilliant you were, everything will become meaningless to you. , after death, nothing is left."

The old man's heart didn't fluctuate, he just thought to himself, this kid wants to win by surprise? There must be a 'but' next.

"But... people die eventually. Is the purpose of your coming to this world just to wait for death?"

Lin Zhishui tried his best to use the philosophy he had learned from messy places over the years, racking his brains to figure out how to say it more reasonable.

"After death, everything is meaningless, only for you, but for others?

"Even the seemingly eternal sun will go out one day, but before it goes out, it will nourish all things on the earth, and you? Do you have family? If not, do you have friends?

"Your life is about to come to an end, everything you do has no meaning to you after death, and the only meaning... is that you give other people more meaning to live, and their memories will also be yours. The only meaning left in this world."

Speaking of which, even Lin Zhishui felt that what he said was too philosophical.

He paused, then smiled and asked, "Now, you should understand, right?"

After a few seconds, the old man said in a low voice: "Since everything is nothing after death, what's the point of this world remembering me?"

"…"

Lin Zhishui's mouth twitched slightly.

This stinky, tough old man!

You are so good at the bar, why don't you go to the construction site to raise the bar?

He said as calmly as possible: "People come to this world alone, and they have to leave alone. Don't you want to leave something behind? Don't you have any unfulfilled wishes?"

The old man said without looking back, "I want to stay in this world forever, and I want to borrow another five hundred years from heaven, is that okay?"

"…"

Lin Zhishui was speechless.

He suddenly understood.

It turned out that the old man didn't want to die, but thought too much, and borrowed another five hundred years from the sky?

Why don't you want the fireworks world to be peaceful and happy?

Lin Zhishui took a deep breath and calmed down. After thinking about it, he took out a small peach from his satchel, put it behind the old man, and said with a smile, "I think you are thinking about eating peaches, so give it to me. You peach, you have to eat first and then talk about it."

He secretly muttered in his heart, this old man is already old, he should not know what the idea of ​​peach is, right?

The old man was still lying with his back to Lin Zhishui, he didn't speak, he just sighed to himself, it seems that the worldly folk customs are still very good, and I met a kind young man...

It's a pity that he can't live to this day, and even less than half an hour, he will usher in the deadline...

It is better to roll in the dust and soil, sleep alone, and do not need to face the entanglement of pain and say goodbye...

"Even if I'm going to die, I can't be a starving ghost, right? I can only do so much, maybe... This can also make my life more meaningful."

After saying the last sentence of chicken soup, Lin Zhishui stood up, glanced at the old man again, and said softly, "Goodbye."

He didn't say goodbye, because he could send a message to Yan Shuishui right away, asking her and her teacher to come and pick up the old man, saying goodbye or something would be too unlucky.

The footsteps gradually faded away.

After Lin Zhishui left, the beggar-like old man sat up, looked at the back of the young man leaving, sighed, and bent his fingers lightly, when he was about to send a mana, he was suddenly stunned and slowly lowered his head Look to the ground.

"Huh? This is..."

He looked at the bluish oil-skinned peach on the ground. Beneath the seemingly ordinary appearance, he could sense a trace of incomparable fairy spirit.

The most important thing is that he once saw its appearance in the "Book of the Great Thousand" handed down from the heavens.

"How...this...this is...Little Pan Tao?"

The old man stretched out his trembling old palm, as if he was touching a fragile foam, and as if holding up a disillusioned dream, he slowly picked up this little peach, and suddenly felt the gentle and incomparably pure in it. Fairy.

The appearance is exactly the same as the legendary small pan peach that ripens once in three thousand years, and it contains such a gentle and pure fairy energy... If it is not a small pan peach, what else could it be?

He looked at the little peach in front of him with trembling all over, and for a while, he couldn't help but burst into tears, blurring his eyes.

The legendary little peach is enough to extend his life for another five hundred years!

When his deadline was approaching, how could he not get excited and get out of control when he even got such a treasure from the fairy family?

Like a ray of light in the boundless darkness!

"Who is that young man who is so holy, to actually give me such an immortal item?"

In a trance, he remembered what the young man said before—

'I think you're thinking about peaches, so I'll give you a peach before you're full. ’

The old man couldn't help but be shocked.

When this seemingly mortal young man asked him his wish at the time, he just lied that he wanted to borrow another five hundred years from the sky, but this young man actually gave him a legendary little peach?

It was a dreamy and unreal experience, almost like a fairy tale!

He suddenly stood up and looked in the direction where the young man was leaving, but his spiritual sense couldn't sense the slightest trace.

"Could it be... an expert from the Xian family?"

The old man murmured, looked at the little peach in his hand with blurry eyes, and said softly, "Senior, when my death is approaching, give me a new life... I wish Chenghuo unforgettable!"

Immediately, Zhu Chenghuo opened his mouth with tears in his mouth and slowly swallowed the little peach into his mouth, absorbing the lively gentle fairy energy in it.

This steady stream of immortal energy is like the rain that nourishes the earth, and it is like the spring that revives dead trees, constantly restoring his dead body that is approaching the limit, leaving him with less than half an hour of lifespan, and it begins to grow rapidly.

Even the loss of life essence caused by the use of the forbidden technique that year is constantly recovering at this time!

Feeling this new state, he couldn't help but feel more and more grateful to that mysterious senior from the Xian family.

Because this not only gave him five hundred years of life~www.novelbuddy.com~, but also gave him a chance to break through five levels!

If it weren't for the damage caused by the forbidden technique, with his talent, he would have already broken through the five barriers and become one of the peerless experts in the world today.

And now, these five hundred years of life essence have given him enough time!

A fairy fruit actually made him reborn from the cocoon!

No wonder that senior knew he was waiting to die, but finally said 'goodbye' to him, so it was!

At this moment, the joy of the new life made Zhu Chenghuo recall all the truths that the mysterious Xianjia senior said before.

At this time, after pondering the details, he only felt that the other party's understanding of life was so profound, and he saw the meaning of life so thoroughly.

He suddenly remembered the last sentence the senior said before he left—

‘Maybe…it would also make my life more meaningful. ’

For a time, as if he had been empowered, Zhu Chenghuo seemed to understand the meaning of the other party's actions, and he couldn't help feeling ashamed that he only cared about his own selfishness.

Yes... After death, of course there is nothing, and it seems meaningless.

However, isn't it just like his joy at this time to let the living people feel the meaning and hope of survival?

As expected of a master from the Xian family... This is probably the true meaning of life that the senior has realized in his long life...

Zhu Chenghuo finally understood.

The gap between you and that senior is not only the difference in realm and life, but also the difference in thinking!

"The high mountains are safe, and I just bow to Qingfen..."

He slowly closed his eyes and said silently in his heart: "I wish Chenghuo, when the seniors are the beacon, move forward."
