The Mortal Immortal

Chapter 57 What is ruthlessness?

Shu Han was sitting by the window drinking, while Shangguan Ruolin was taking pills one by one.

However, after sipping the elixir all the time, she couldn't help but feel a bitter taste in her mouth. Shangguan Ruolin snatched Shu Han's wine flask, poured herself a large glass, and said: "I have never tasted mortal wine, so I will make an exception to taste it today. "

As he spoke, he held a large cup and drank it.

"Senior, you can't drink so much at one time..."

Shangguan Ruolin's face turned red as the spirit entered her mouth. She hurriedly fanned her mouth with her little hand and shouted: "Why is this stuff so spicy... But there is a hint of sweetness in the spiciness, and there is also the fragrance of the bamboo forest... Not bad, Very delicious!”

Shu Han:......

After saying that, Shangguan Ruolin took pills and drank strong wine. The more she ate and drank, the more she got drunk.

Shu Han laughed in his heart. It seemed that the senior's body had not only become smaller, but his mind had also been affected a little.

He couldn't believe that the girl in front of him was the all-powerful and cold Shangguan Ruolin.

After waiting for a while, the shopkeeper led a girl in Tsing Yi to the guest room.

The girl has a fair-looking appearance and is far from as charming as Shangguan Ruolin, but she can still be regarded as a beauty. When Qin Xue'er saw Shu Han, she saluted quickly: "Junior Qin Xue'er, I want to see my senior. What does senior want to see Xue'er for?"

"Miss Xue'er, don't be so reserved, sit down!"

Qin Xueer sat down and looked at Shu Han blankly.

Shu Han said, "Actually, I came here just to return something." After that, he put Lin Guangwen's storage bag on the table. When Qin Xueer saw the storage bag, her slender hands couldn't help but twitch. She said blankly: "This is Guangwen's storage bag... Senior, what happened to him..."

Seeing Qin Xueer's eager eyes, Shu Han really didn't know how to speak, but he still told Qin Xueer the truth.

Shu Han said at the end, sighing: "Brother Lin Guangwen is a good person, but he accidentally met a traitor. I think he should have been thinking about you before he died, otherwise this storage bag wouldn't be full of writing This letter is for you, so I came to look for you. It contains the spiritual stones he dug out from the bottom of the mine, and I also gave them to you. I hope his spirit can rest in peace in heaven."

Qin Xueer listened blankly to Shu Han's last words.

She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and said to herself: "Xue'er originally had four spiritual roots, and the road to cultivation was difficult. The reason why she was able to cultivate to the fifth level was all the help of Guangwen along the way. In her heart, I have long been willing to commit myself to him, and he doesn’t have to..." Then she stood up with a trembling body, knelt in front of Shu Han, and said in a trembling voice: "Senior can travel thousands of miles to bring his last news to this junior, it is a great kindness. ,Grateful."

Shu Han helped her up and persuaded her, "Girl, please take care of yourself."

Qin Xueer stood up and said, "I want to hold a funeral for Guangwen in two days. Is Senior available to attend?"

"must!"

Qin Xueer bowed respectfully again and left the inn alone.

Shangguan Ruolin took the medicine and said, "This girl didn't even shed a single tear. Most of her heart has already lost sight of Lin Guangwen. Why are you wasting your time attending the funeral? Hurry up and find a sect to join."

Shu Han saw Qin Xueer's lonely voice from the window and said: "Senior, you are wrong, tears don't mean anything. There is nothing greater than grief. She is already heartbroken. Hey, I hope she can live well." "

"My heart is broken because of a man. I think that girl is not a smart person either."

Shu Han originally planned to stay in this inn for a day or two, but early the next morning, he and Shangguan Ruolin stood on the street opposite, looking at the inn that had become ruins, with blank expressions on their faces.

Shangguan Ruolin held her head, frowned and said, "Boy, why do I have such a severe headache? Is there something wrong with your medicine! And I don't remember what I did last night at all."

Shu Han's eyes almost rolled out of his head.

Look at the way the innkeeper kneels in front of the ruins and howls. Does he have the nerve to say he doesn't know what he did?

Finally, Shu Han said helplessly: "Senior, you can't drink anymore."

With that said, Shu Han walked up to the shopkeeper and dropped a small bag of spiritual stones.

The next day, Shu Han and Shangguan Ruolin attended Lin Guangwen's funeral as scheduled.

At the funeral, Lin Guangwen's parents, who were in their seventies, almost cried until they fainted. They heard that Lin Guangwen was the only son of the Lin family. This scene made Shu Han couldn't help but think of his parents, and secretly sighed in his heart. If he had died in Longxuanmen back then, and his parents would have been heartbroken if they found out about it.

Qin Xueer, dressed in plain clothes, attended the funeral as the widow of the Lin family.

Her face was pale and she was in a daze. She came to Shu Han, handed over a drawing, and said: "The Lin family is very grateful to the elders for their great kindness, but the Lin family has nothing to repay. This is a formation pattern handed down from the younger generation's family. , no one could successfully refine it for several generations, so the junior thought it might be useful to the senior, so he gave it to the senior. "

Shu Han pinched the formation pattern diagram, glanced at it, and saw the words "Jue Yin Heart-breaking Formation".

Then he looked worriedly at Qin Xueer, who was in a daze, and advised: "Miss Xueer, there is no resurrection after death. Please bear with me and accept his wishes, and live a good life with his last wish."

Qin Xueer forced out a smile and bowed deeply to Shu Han.

After coming out of the Lin family, Shangguan Ruolin said in confusion: "Mortals are emotionally fragile, but if you have a child, you will have to live or die."

Shu Han said: "Senior's words are wrong. A mortal's life is short, ranging from seventy or eighty years at most to forty or fifty years at least. To conceive a child, it takes ten months to conceive, more than ten years to take care of it, more than ten years to worry about it, and wait for it to grow old. After that, I still need to be supported by my children for more than ten years. I have invested most of my life and love in this life, how can I not be heartbroken.

Shangguan Ruolin was silent for a long time after hearing this.

Finally, she said: "Listening to what you said, I finally understand why people say that immortals are ruthless."

Shu Han was surprised: "What's the explanation?"

Shangguan Ruolin asked, "Why do mortals raise offspring?"

Shu Han pondered for a while and replied: "The first is for family inheritance, the second is to express feelings, and the third is to provide for the elderly."

Shangguan Ruolin said: "First, the life span of monks can be extended as their cultivation level increases. For example, Yuanying monks can live for ten thousand years. One person can inherit hundreds of generations, so naturally they will not consider the so-called inheritance issue, they only I will consider how to increase my cultivation and extend my life.”

"Secondly, relying on emotions is a joke. For monks, strength and status are the only pursuits. Very few monks would waste their emotions on their heirs."

"Thirdly, monks do not have the problem of old age and death. Most mortals cannot take care of themselves when they are old. But this is not the case for monks. The older they get, the deeper their cultivation becomes."

"Therefore, monks have neither practical nor emotional needs for children. Moreover, like a great monk in the Nascent Soul stage, with a long life of ten thousand years, as long as he is willing, he can give birth to thousands of children. If a few die, there is no need to feel sad. What a shame! We high-ranking immortal cultivators are ruthless to our families, how can we be affectionate to others?"

Having said this, Shu Han clearly saw Shangguan Ruolin clenching her fists tightly, with a look of loneliness on her face.

"Senior, you..."
