Nine Realms Mortal Immortals

Xia Ji's worries came true, and Qingsong Kingdom launched another attack on Daxia with the support of Hanshui Kingdom.

Fang Chen, who had not been in court all year round and didn't care about anything, was called back again to lead his troops on an expedition in the year of destiny.

The first year, it failed miserably.

The next year, it failed miserably.

In the third year, it failed miserably.

Daxia's national power gradually emptied, and finally reached an agreement with Qingsong, paying tribute of a certain amount of gold and silver to Qingsong and Hanshui every year to cease war.

The prestige that Fang Chen built when he was young is no longer guaranteed when he is old. The number of impeachments received by Xia Ji can even be as high as one person.

Also in the year when the agreement was signed, Mr. Fang passed away, and Fang Canghai and his wife also died one after another.

It was dinner time in Fang Mansion. Fairy Jade was sitting next to Fang Chen, and his son, daughter-in-law, and grandson were also at the table.

This is the rule of Fang Mansion. The whole family must eat together, but Fang Canyou often disappears and is often not in the house.

"What happened to the injury on your face?"

Fang Chen glanced at his son. There was a bruise on the corner of his eye and the skin was broken.

His wife hesitated to speak, but was stopped by her. He said respectfully:

"Father, I accidentally hit him while walking."

"You are so old and you still walk so carelessly? You should watch the road more in the future."

Fang Chen smiled and gave Jade Fairy a piece of pork belly, "Madam, this fried meat is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It's really delicious."

After dinner, Fang Chen's son and daughter-in-law said goodbye and left.

Fairy Jade then glanced at Fang Chen and said worriedly:

"Husband, because of these few defeats, many people have poured dirty water on Fang's head. The injuries on my son's face are probably caused by others, not by himself."

"I know."

Fang Chen nodded.

"Then you're not worried?"

Fairy Jade was slightly startled.

"I'm worried shit."

Fang Chen thought to himself, then smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, it's okay. Everything is fine now, and there will be no need to fight in the future. Even the people of Daxia may have to live with their heads down."

Sure enough, in the following years, Qingsong became more and more excessive. Relying on the backing of Hanshui Kingdom, he repeatedly broke the agreement and wreaked havoc on the border of Daxia. He even opened the Qingsong Premium Pavilion in Daxia Kyoto.

The court could not withstand Fang Chen's impeachment and needed a way for the people to vent.

So the Fang Mansion suffered. First, Fang Chen's son was found an excuse to be removed from his official position and demoted to a commoner.

Then Fang Chen's various reputations he had gained when he was young were also stripped away one by one.

Fang Cangyue was also implicated and died of illness not long after. As soon as he left, Fang Cangyue, who had no heirs, also died of illness not long after.

More than ten or twenty years have passed, and the once-prominent Fang Mansion is now no different from ordinary people.

The son and daughter-in-law could no longer stay in Kyoto, so they took Fang Chen's grandson to other places to make a living and did not come back for many years.

Fang Chen and Yu Xianzi also moved to a private house early. They would go for a walk outside every morning, and then bring back some light breakfast for Yu Xianzi.

She is sick and the fried dough sticks are too greasy and cannot be eaten anymore.

"Old guy! Get out of the way and don't block my way!"

A sturdy Qingsong martial artist walked past Fang Chen. He suddenly felt that the old man in front of him looked disgusting, so he kicked him.

Fortunately, Fang Chen still retained some of his martial arts skills, but he did not avoid it. Instead, he took the kick forcefully and staggered far away.

The other party laughed and strode away.

Scenes like this are shown in Kyoto from time to time, and everyone is used to it and won't mind their own business.

Nowadays, anyone can be offended, except Qingsong's martial artist.

Fang Chen wandered back to the house, helped Yu Xianzi to feed her, and told her what he had seen on the street.

As the Jade Fairy ate, tears suddenly rolled down her cheeks: "Your Majesty, are you willing?"

She had called Fang Chen husband for decades, but now she called him by the original title. For a moment, time seemed to go back to when they were both young.

"There's nothing to be unwilling to do. Isn't that how life is? Different choices lead to different results. It's a cycle of cause and effect."

Fang Chen smiled and said: "Drink the porridge quickly. When you recover from your illness and gain some strength, husband, I will take you out to sea for the last time. This time we will go far away. When that unfilial son comes back, he will not be able to see you or me." The two of them just don't need to bother him."

Fairy Jade was startled, then drank the porridge obediently.

A few days later, Jade Fairy died of illness.

Fang Chen simply arranged her funeral. After finishing the work, he sat at the door and watched the people coming and going on the street.

Suddenly, an old guy slowly approached here. Seeing Fang Chen looking at him, the old guy also grinned. He only had two or three teeth left, which looked quite funny.

"Your Majesty, do you still remember Xu Ge, the hidden guard of Great Xia?"

"Xu Ge? You are so old. Sit here. What do you want from me?"

Fang Chen patted his side casually.

Xu Ge sat down tremblingly, and then rambled on about his experiences over the years. His path had not gone smoothly, and he was now alone.

"Your Majesty, have the Third Prince come to see you these past few years?"

"No."

"Oh... The third prince probably forgot about his friendship with the crown prince."

"Maybe."

"Is the prince really willing?"

"You have to accept your fate."

"Why don't we rebel?"

"Are you kidding? Have you seen that young man? He is a teenager and full of vitality and blood. Together, you and I can only support ten moves in his hands, maybe five."

"...Then...I'll take my leave."

Xu Ge left.

A few years later, some god burned down Fang Chen's house, and he, an old man who was almost a hundred years old, was reduced to the point where he had no house to live in.

Fang Chen could only find a piece of cloth and set up a fortune-telling stall on the street. He spoke one term after another, which would make ordinary people stunned, but they could still live on.

Not far from the street, there were several figures standing. They looked at Fang Chen and whispered to each other.

"This guy is a loser."

"He was so provoked that he didn't even react."

"Could he be aware of where he is?"

"impossible."

"Only the last resort."

Not long after, a figure suddenly appeared in front of the stall. It was an old Taoist priest with gray hair and a boyish face. He looked at Fang Chen with a smile:

"Fellow Taoist, I think you are quite enlightened. Are you willing to follow me and cultivate immortality?"

Fang Chen was stunned for a moment: "What are the benefits of cultivating immortality?"

The old Taoist priest said softly: "You can live forever, and you can do anything to control the wind and rain."

"Promise him, promise him!"

Several figures looked here slightly nervously.

As long as the other party agrees, this time it will be successful.

"I don't know what you call me, senior..."

Fang Chen looked a little solemn.

"Pindao Yunhe."

The old Taoist priest smiled.

Fang Chen sighed softly and waved his hand: "You and I are both magicians, why do you want to lie to this old man like me? I don't have much money on me. The title of Yunhe is so fresh and refined, but you look so wretched, You don’t deserve this honorable title.”

The old Taoist priest cursed him for being stupid, then waved his sleeves angrily and left.

"This man is hopeless."

"Well, there's no cure. It's a waste of my time waiting. Leave him alone."

"Let's find someone else."

"Um."

A few days later, Fang Chen suddenly noticed something and said to himself happily: "It's time to die."

He closed his eyes and suddenly lost his life.

When he opened his eyes again, he was already in the deserted courtyard.

Not only was Mr. Xun standing in front of him, but Master Yunhe, Mr. Fang, and Li Jingnian were also there.
