Chapter 293 Where's Dad?
After listening to the conversation between Zhou Mei and Zhou Yaoyang, mother and son, Li Zhi felt extremely complicated.
Walking on the street, Li Zhi looked like a distraught middle-aged man who had just lost his wife and children, and his back was filled with infinite melancholy.
Was it right or wrong to board the Nine Dragons Coffin and leave the earth?
If he could stay and accompany the mother and two children, would this situation not have happened?
Is it really impossible to have the best of both worlds?
He left a letter explaining the reason.
And tell them that I will be back in twenty or thirty years.
At the same time, he left behind such a generous inheritance, enough for the three of them, mother and son, to live a wealthy life.
As long as we wait for him to come back, the whole family will be able to enjoy the happiness of eternal life together.
Aren’t you willing to wait for just twenty or thirty years?
Or, in their eyes, the temptation of immortality is far less important than the things that accompanied them here?
Li Zhi could sense that Li Jizu, now Zhou Yaoyang, hated him to the core, and that hatred was irreconcilable and had taken root deeply in his heart.
Although Zhou Mei seemed to still have some feelings for him, Li Zhi was not sure whether it was an illusion or not.
But Li Zhi knew that it was definitely not the same feeling as it was back then.
Li Zhi walked on the street for more than two hours in a decadent manner, like a failed father. Many people pointed at him along the way.
With his current level of Taoism, even if he was just an incarnation, the emotional fluctuations emanating from his body could infect a large number of mortals.
Therefore, Li Zhi was hated like a plague god along the way.
As I was walking, I passed by a hospital unconsciously.
The whistle of the ambulance woke Li Zhi from his decadent state.
Li Zhi suddenly remembered what Zhou Mei said to Zhou Yaoyang.
"Xian'er seems to have had an accident?"
Li Zhi was shocked and ran directly out of the city.
The speed was so fast that it even caused a gust of wind.
"Are you rushing to attend a funeral? Why are you running so fast?" The strong wind caused chaos and many people cursed at him.
After running out of the city, in a sparsely populated area, Li Zhi turned into a stream of light, soared into the sky, and flew towards his hometown.
"Xian'er, nothing must happen to you." Li Zhi muttered to himself.
At the same time, he also felt resentful towards Zhou Mei and Zhou Yaoyang.
He treated his own sister so viciously, cursing her to death.
Is this something a brother could do?
Moreover, as a mother, when she heard that her daughter was in trouble, she was not panicked. She was still thinking about celebrating her grandson's birthday and preparing gifts for her daughter-in-law. Is this the attitude a mother should have?
Moreover, Li Zhi learned from the memories of Yaoyang Group’s senior executives that Li Dapeng retired from the company five years ago, which was also the second year that Zhou Yaoyang joined the company.
Li Dapeng was ostracized and had no choice but to hand over the power in his hands to Zhou Yaoyang. He seemed to have many complaints about Zhou Mei and her son. After retirement, he did not continue to live in the city, and now has returned to his hometown.
If he were in Beidou, the short distance of a few hundred kilometers could be crossed in a few breaths with his Taoism.
But when we are on Earth, the flying speed is greatly reduced.
After leaving the city, Li Zhi flew for almost half an hour before returning to his hometown.
After more than 20 years, Dali Village has not changed much compared to what it was back then.
Although various infrastructures have been upgraded, the roads leading to the village have also been hardened and renovated.
But because it is not close to the city, the general outline of the village has not changed.
The development of the city has not affected the village. Except for the renovation of each household's house, the layout is no different from twenty years ago.
Li Zhi's courtyard is the same courtyard that he presided over the renovation of.
The house is still the same as it was back then.
More than 20 years ago, its home was almost the most beautiful in the village, but now it has become very ordinary.
However, Uncle Li Zhong’s house next door is now built more beautifully than his.
Li Zhi was not in the mood to appreciate the changes in the village, and he returned home in a flash.
But when he arrived at the door of his house, he didn't dare to face the people inside.
After hiding his figure, he walked into the yard.
Then he saw a skinny woman with a gloomy aura, lying in the yard basking in the sun with a weak breath.
Li Zhi recognized at a glance that the girl with sparse hair, skinny as a stick, and the fire of life almost extinguished was his daughter.
Although Li Xian'er is not yet thirty years old, her face is weathered and she seems to have experienced countless storms. She may die at any time.
Li Zhi's heart suddenly tightened.
The incarnation, who originally could not shed blood or tears, now had tears formed from his essence escaping from his eyes.
Li Zhi couldn't believe that the daughter of a billionaire had become like this.
In an instant, his complex emotions towards Zhou Mei and Zhou Yaoyang turned into anger.
Next to Li Xianer, there was an old lady and a middle-aged woman talking to her.
"Xian'er, do you have anything to say to grandma?" The old lady in the yard pulled the girl's hand on the recliner and asked with tears in her eyes.
The old lady was Li Zhong’s wife, who passed away five years ago. The middle-aged woman was Li Dapeng’s daughter-in-law.
"Xian'er, your uncle Dapeng has gone to the city to find your mother and your brother. They will come back to see you soon." The middle-aged woman also said, holding the girl's other hand.
"Aunt, you...you tell Uncle Dapeng not to waste time. I know I don't have much time left." There was a look of relief in the girl's eyes, as if she had accepted death calmly.
"Xian'er, don't say such discouraging words. Your disease can definitely be cured. If the doctor can't help, let's go find those immortals. I heard that the current Emperor Ye Fan is your former neighbor and a good friend of your father. I'll ask your Uncle Dapeng to ask him, he will definitely be able to cure your disease." The middle-aged woman seemed reluctant to see the girl wither away, her expression was a little complicated, and finally she gritted her teeth and said.
"Uncle Ye is back?" Li Xian'er, whose eyes had lost their luster, seemed to have grasped the hope of life again, and even a glimmer of expectation flashed in her eyes.
Perhaps she was too weak. After a slight fluctuation in her mind, she seemed to have exhausted her last bit of strength, and the light in her eyes quickly dimmed.
"Xian'er, take a rest first. Grandma will make you some ginseng soup." The old lady quickly changed the subject and reached out to pull the hem of the middle-aged woman's clothes behind the chair.
Then the middle-aged woman seemed to realize that she had let something slip, and immediately said to Li Xian'er: "Xian'er, don't think too much. The most important thing now is to have a good rest. Auntie will go to the kitchen to make ginseng soup for you."
After the old lady covered Li Xianer with a thick blanket, she pulled the middle-aged woman into the kitchen.
"How could you say that to Xian'er? The doctor said that Xian'er's emotions cannot fluctuate, otherwise she will easily die from excessive excitement." The old lady scolded her daughter-in-law after entering the kitchen. "Mom, you have also seen Xian'er's condition. If you don't give her a little hope, I'm afraid she won't be able to hold on for a few days." The middle-aged woman said.
"But, you will directly take Xian'er's life by doing this." The old lady said helplessly.
"It's all the fault of that bitch Zhou Mei, and that ungrateful bastard Li Jizu. He thought he had grown up and become powerful enough to change his name to Zhou Yaoyang. I think it was that woman Zhou Mei who was behind all this, and also..."
The middle-aged woman seemed to blame Zhou Mei and Zhou Yaoyang for all of Li Xianer's predicament.
The old lady said, "You should say less. Every family has its own problems. Li Zhi really let down the three of them. He left without saying a word. If Zhou Mei hadn't had a conscience and didn't remarry, your uncle Daqiang's family line would have been cut off. In fact, Zhou Mei and Yaoyang were quite good to Xian'er. If Xian'er hadn't been so stubborn and insisted on practicing, looking for things that would help her practice, things wouldn't have ended up like this."
"Xian'er is also pitiful. She has such an unreliable father like Li Zhi. The child went to find him in order to cultivate and become an immortal. She searched for opportunities in ancient tombs everywhere. Not only did she get herself covered in scars, but she also broke her leg. Now she is almost losing her life." said the middle-aged woman.
After hearing their discussion, Li Zhi's legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead. Although he was the incarnation of essence and energy, at this moment he seemed as heavy as Mount Tai. He moved into the yard step by step.
Looking at Li Xianer lying on the chair with her eyes closed and tears faintly falling from the corners of her eyes.
Li Zhi faintly heard her mumbling in a very subtle voice: "Dad, where have you been? Xian'er really misses you."
Li Zhi felt his heart was twitching.
Then he took out the bottle of the spring of life and carefully brought the water to her lips.
"Xian'er, open your mouth and drink some water. Your illness will be cured after drinking the water." Li Zhi whispered in Li Xian'er's ear.
Li Xianer was so tired that she had no strength to open her eyes. She subconsciously opened her mouth and drank the water from the fountain of life.
After drinking just half a litre, she couldn't drink any more.
Then Li Xianer fell into a deep sleep.
A surge of life energy burst out from her body, and the life fire that had begun to flicker quickly regained its vigor.
But before she could recover, Li Zhi discovered that an extremely pure death energy in her body began to grow rapidly, constantly eroding her vitality.
It seemed that the vitality just replenished was just a drop in the bucket.
Fortunately, the magical spring water saved her from the risk of death at any time.
The pure death energy had already corroded her body, leaving it full of holes. Even with the fountain of life, she would not be able to fully recover.
Judging from how long the death energy had existed, it must have been lurking in her body for several years.
It seemed to have broken out recently, making her completely ill.
Li Zhi also discovered that Li Xianer had actually opened up the Sea of Bitterness and even cultivated to the Divine Bridge realm.
However, the Wheel Sea Secret Realm is now occupied by death energy, and the Wheel of Life is even blocked by death energy.
If there wasn't a weak but vibrant life force protecting her life wheel, she probably wouldn't have lived to this day.
Li Zhi sensed that it was the fluctuation of vitality cultivated through the "Innate Longevity Exercise".
Seeing this, Li Zhi immediately spread out his spiritual thoughts and scanned every place in the house.
Then he found a pure room for cultivation in the secret room.
In the purification room, various ancient instruments are placed, making it look like an ancient instrument museum.
They all seem to be burial objects excavated from the tombs of ancient monks.
There is also a furnace for elixir in the clean room.
There was some monster blood emitting a faint glow inside the furnace.
Li Zhi recognized that it was the Wanyu Furnace he left at home. Li Xian'er was able to cultivate to the Shenqiao realm by using the Wanyu Furnace and bathing in the essence and blood of all spirits for the purpose of cultivation.
After temporarily using the magic spring water to stabilize Li Xianer's life fire, he had to find a way to get rid of the death energy in her body.
The purity of that deathly energy made Li Zhi quite troubled.
If his real body was here, there might not be any problem in getting rid of the death energy.
But he is just an incarnation now and has no ability to completely remove the death energy from her.
In addition to the deathly aura, Li Xian'er also has a yin aura that has almost merged with her, which is even more troublesome.
That is the negative energy that comes from walking underground and dealing with ancient tombs for many years.
Duan De has that kind of yin energy.
Li Zhi had no way to deal with the negative energy that even Duan De couldn't completely resolve.
Unless he becomes a supreme-level strongman and can use the power of the emperor to emit pure yang immortal energy and dissolve the yin energy, otherwise the yin energy will always accompany Li Xianer.
Moreover, Li Xian'er had scars all over her body, which seemed to be left from fighting with wild beasts or monsters.
At the same time, her lame leg was also tainted with some destructive aura of laws.
It was obviously a scar left by a monk during a battle.
However, these external injuries are easy to solve for Li Zhi.
Now, that deadly energy is the most deadly thing.
She must have dug up the ancient saint's tomb to have been possessed by that level of death energy.
It was the unique advantage of the Xiantian Changsheng Gong in terms of vitality that allowed her to live for two more years.
If Li Zhi didn't come back, she might not live for more than three days.
Once that original vitality is completely extinguished, that will be the day of her demise.
Moreover, Li Zhi didn't dare let her take too much of the holy spring water, as that would help the growth of the dead energy in her body.
"Mom, mom, come and see, I'm afraid Xian'er is dying."
Just as Li Zhi entered the secret room to think of a solution, Dapeng's wife's worried voice came from the yard.
The old lady, who was almost eighty years old, immediately trotted out from the kitchen. She saw that Li Xian'er looked much better than before, and even her breathing had become stronger.
The old lady's face changed drastically, and she quickly said to the middle-aged woman, "This is a last gasp. Call Dapeng quickly and ask him to bring Zhou Mei and Ji Zu back. I'm afraid Xian'er won't live for more than a few hours."
The middle-aged woman quickly took out her cell phone and called Li Dapeng: "Dapeng, Xian'er has regained consciousness. Hurry and bring Zhou Mei and Ji Zu back."
Li Dapeng on the other end of the phone said calmly, "Call Dr. Xu and ask him to come over immediately. Make sure to keep Xian'er alive. I'll go find Zhou Mei and Ji Zu right away."
Modification completed.
