Seeking the Way of Immortality

Liu Chan turned her head and called out softly, "Uncle."

But she started crying again.

Wu Zheng stepped forward and hugged Liu Chan's petite body in his arms, whispering, "Child, this will be your home from now on."

"Uncle, mom is gone!"

"Your mom has gone to another world, where there is no disease, no pain, and no hunger or cold. Don't cry, be strong, your parents are watching you!"

"Really? Uncle." Liu Chan looked at Wu Zheng expectantly with her eyes wide open.

Wu Zheng's hand trembled, and a carved little black dog appeared in his hand: "What do you think!"

"Uncle, is it for me?"

"Of course! Xiaochan is so cute, who else can I give it to if not you!"

Suddenly getting the toy, Liu Chan woke up from her grief. After all, she was a child, and her attention was easily diverted. Wu Zheng smiled.

Liu Chan was so immersed in the new toy that she didn't notice how Wu Zheng took out the puppy wood carving just now. Of course, even if she noticed it, she wouldn't understand.

Instead, he brought a bucket of hot water into the house: "Xiaochan, take a bath first, I'll take you to dinner later."

"Oh."

"Do you need uncle's help?"

"No, uncle, I can wash myself, you go ahead!"

Wu Zheng heard this, closed the door, and walked out.

He thought, children from poor families are sensible, and young children can do everything, no one needs to worry about them at all.

After a while, Liu Chan finished taking a bath and was about to transport the water outside. Wu Zheng hurried forward and took the bucket: "You kid, these things will be left to uncle in the future, understand?"

"Yeah." Liu Chan nodded, and had already changed into the clothes Wu Zheng prepared for her, but the clothes were given by others, and they looked a lot bigger on Liu Chan.

Liu Chan didn't care at all.

Wu Zheng said: "After dinner, uncle will take you to buy a nice dress, okay?"

"Yeah, uncle, I want to go home to see my mother." Liu Chan said silently.

"Well, okay! That's only after you wear the right clothes, so that your mother will be happy in the other world." Wu Zheng said while touching Liu Chan's head.

"Really?" Liu Chan asked Wu Zheng naively with her head tilted.

"Of course it's true, can uncle still lie to you?"

"Yes."

"Okay! Let's go eat!"

"Uncle, did you raise this little turtle?"

"Of course! It's called Xiao Hei, and it will be your friend in the future!"

"And Heidan, you won't be lonely in the future!"

"Thank you uncle, you are so nice!"

"Well, eat, after eating, uncle will take you to buy things, and after buying things, uncle will accompany you home, okay?"

"Yes."

After saying that, she obediently served Wu Zheng the rice porridge, and the two of them started eating.

Of course, the little turtle and the little black dog were not left behind.

After breakfast, Wu Zheng held Liu Chan's little hand, and the two walked towards the busy market where clothes were sold.

Wu Zheng bought all the clothes Liu Chan liked. After all, Wu Zheng had no experience in taking care of children, let alone little girls. He could only buy whatever Liu Chan liked.

After the two of them bought clothes, Liu Chan couldn't wait to put on new clothes, and then Wu Zheng carried Liu Chan on his back and walked towards Liu Chan's home in Baishi Town.

Because he had walked there once, Wu Zheng knew the way to Baishi Town.

Wu Zheng's pace was not slow, and without others to accompany him, Wu Zheng could speed up his pace without restraint. Of course, this speed was only slightly faster than that of ordinary people. After all, there were still pedestrians on the road, and it would be a bit shocking if it was too fast!

In this way, in less than an hour, the two arrived at the grave of Liu Chan's mother.

This time Liu Chan didn't cry. No matter whether Wu Zheng's lie was true or not, in her young heart, she believed it was true.

"Mom, Brother Wu Zheng treats me very well, don't worry!"

"I will take good care of Brother Wu Zheng and won't let him worry."

"You and Dad must live well in the other world. I heard from Brother Wu Zheng that there is no suffering and no hunger there, just don't worry."

"Oh, that's right! Brother Wu Zheng also found two friends for me, a little turtle and a little black dog. The little turtle is called Xiao Hei and the little black dog is called Heidan. The names were given by Brother Wu Zheng."

"They are very cute."

"Brother Wu Zheng also bought me new clothes today. Look, do I look pretty in them?"

For a whole incense stick of time, Liu Chan kept mumbling her nagging, talking about Wu Zheng's goodness and what happened today. As early as on the way here, Liu Chan already knew Wu Zheng's name.

While Liu Chan was mumbling, some elders and villagers of Baishi Village also came to Liu Chan's side, listening to her nagging, no one made a sound, just listened silently.

Some people even wiped their tears secretly.

Wu Zheng said nothing, standing quietly behind Liu Chan, watching all this.

After Liu Chan finished speaking, she turned around, bowed deeply to the elders and villagers who came here, and then stood beside Wu Zheng obediently.

Wu Zheng sighed, picked up Liu Chan, and turned away.

That night, Wu Zheng took advantage of Liu Chan's sleep and came to Baishi Town alone.

‘Roar’

‘Roar’

The roar of the shocking beast continued to sound, and then fell into a calm.

However, since that night, no laborer in Baishi Town has died in the mountains, and every time they go up the mountain, they return with a full load.

However, for some unknown reason, all the strong laborers go up the mountain every time and stop at what they have, not hunting too much, just enough to eat.

As for what happened that night, no one knows.

Life returned to peace again.

What surprised Wu Zheng was that Liu Chan never played with other friends, and spent more time with Wu Zheng, or playing with the little black dog and the little turtle.

She got up early every day to help Wu Zheng cook.

Her body also returned to normal under Wu Zheng's conditioning during this period. She changed from the previous frailty, and her little face had blood color.

The whole person also became energetic.

Wu Zheng's business is getting better and better. Since Wu Zheng brought Liu Chan back, there has been a lot of business every day, and the neighbors are also very good to Liu Chan.

Wu Zheng's carvings became more and more realistic. In addition to being very realistic, they also had a touch of spirituality, which made them look real.

Whenever Wu Zheng read books, Liu Chan would pester him to teach her how to read and recognize characters. With her original skills, it was quite easy for her to learn. More importantly, under Wu Zheng's deliberate conditioning, her intelligence was much higher than that of her peers. She could not say that she had a photographic memory, but it was almost there!

Wu Zheng was surprised, but he taught her everything he knew.

During this period, Wu Zheng also learned more or less about Liu Chan's family situation. It turned out that Liu Chan's father was a scholar, but because of his poor family, he was not qualified to take the exam again, so he had to hunt in Baishi Town.

Liu Chan was weak and sick at that time. Her father often told her stories and occasionally taught her to read and write. Therefore, over the years, Liu Chan knew a lot of characters.

Although her handwriting was a little immature, it was still beautiful.

In a blink of an eye, three months passed quietly.

Wu Zheng has browsed through all the techniques, and the rosary left by Yin Hong has also been absorbed by Wu Zheng. At this moment, he has already known the relationship between the innate magical power and the innate true meaning.

In fact, the two can also be said to be the same thing, but there are obvious differences between the two. If they are said to exist independently, there is an inexplicable connection between the two.

At this time, Wu Zheng could not explain it, so he could only take it one step at a time!

Moreover, by absorbing the rosary left by Yin Hong, Wu Zheng's consciousness has been completely liquefied, and the purity of his consciousness has reached a level that even the peak great cultivators can hardly reach.

After learning this, Wu Zheng was relieved, and the practice of the technique will begin again, but before that, he has to solve the problem of Liu Chan.

After all, the constitution of the wind spirit root is extremely rare even in the world of cultivation. It is really a pity to leave a treasure mountain without using it.

However, all this still needs Liu Chan's consent, otherwise Wu Zheng will definitely not decide on Liu Chan's path.

Of course, before that, Wu Zheng still needs to consider how to explain to Liu Chan. After all, in this mortal city, the existence of immortals is very far away from them.

It is not certain whether they can accept it.

Even if they accept it, Wu Zheng still has to consider the issue of confidentiality. After all, he is already familiar with the environment here, and he doesn't want to switch back and forth.
