Chapter 209 Thank you for the blessing of the immortal

Song Lu said: "An old man fainted, and I don't know whether I should help him."

"Hmm?" Luo Mingyue arrived above Tianliu Village.

Song Lu briefly introduced the old man's situation.

There is a cemetery in Tianliu Village. Villagers are buried here after their death. There is also a small house at the entrance of the cemetery, where an old man named Liu guards it.

The old man's life story was rather pitiful, he had a son and a daughter. His son was weak and had a serious illness, in order to treat his son, the old man spent all his savings, but unfortunately his son still died, and his son did not marry before his death, leaving no offspring.

After the daughter got married, she encountered a group of poisonous beasts on her way back to her parents' home one day, and all her remains were gone.

When the old man's wife heard the bad news, she was so exhausted that she died too.

The old man was very strong. He passed out only after he had completed the funeral for his daughter-in-law. When he woke up, he had forgotten that his family members had died and he even fabricated false memories in his mind.

In this memory, his children are still alive, but his daughter married far away and cannot come back. His son is in poor health, so his wife took him to live with a distant relative. They heard that there was a miraculous doctor in the city where the distant relative lived, who could cure any disease.

Therefore, the old man is happy every day.

The villagers didn’t have the heart to expose his fantasy, and even if they did, the old man wouldn’t believe it, because at first the neighbors would bring him food and comfort him, hoping that he would get out of his sadness as soon as possible, but the old man asked in surprise: “Sadness? Why should I be sad?”

He thought that others were lying to him and that no one in his family was dead.

The old man had no martial arts skills, so he couldn't go out to hunt poisonous beasts. He also had lost the support of his children, so the village chief took charge and found several jobs for the old man and let him choose.

In the end, the old man chose to guard the tomb.

His wife and son were buried in the cemetery with their names engraved on them. Those names were all written by the old man himself. However, the old man still did not believe the fact that his wife and children were dead. He firmly believed that it was just a coincidence that they had the same name.

As for his daughter, she had already been married and her body was nowhere to be found; she was not buried in the village.

Today, the old man was patrolling the cemetery as usual, but he saw the grave where his son was buried was burning with a faint green flame.

The old man yelled, "Monster!"

Then his eyes rolled back and he fainted.

Song Lu said: "Although it is summer now, the weather is relatively cool at night. He is an old man and it is easy for him to get sick if he lies on the ground..."

Luo Mingyue said: "Then why don't you just help him up?"

Song Lu looked at her blankly, motionless.

Luo Mingyue asked: "What's wrong?"

Song Lu said, "I... I don't like human graves. I'm more afraid of this. You see, after he fainted, he happened to be lying next to two graves. I don't want to touch the grave soil."

Luo Mingyue: "...So you called me over here just to get me to take action."

Song Lu bowed to her, "Please, Master, help me."

Luo Mingyue said: "You said that the old man fainted because he saw the green fire, why didn't I see it?" Song Lu said: "After the old man fainted, the flame disappeared."

Luo Mingyue thought that the green flames burning in the cemetery seemed to be a substance called phosphine. Luo Mingyue couldn't remember the specific principle, but it could be explained by science. She reached out and picked up the old man from the ground and said, "Songlu, see if there is anyone in this village who is still awake in the middle of the night. Let's arrange for the old man to stay at their home for one night. Otherwise, my hands are too big, so I can only stuff his body back into the room, but I can't put it on the bed."

"It's so late, everyone should be asleep. Besides, should we ask Doctor Guo to take a look at him?" Song Lu "patrolled" around the village. Every house was dark and there was no light.

Luo Mingyue said: "Yes, you are very thoughtful. He was frightened and fainted. He is old and his body is fragile..."

At this moment, Song Lu suddenly saw a glimpse of silver and exclaimed in surprise, "Someone is still awake!"

Luo Mingyue turned around and saw the Red-Eyed Prophet just walking out of the room. Her long silver hair was like moonlight silk, soft and beautiful, and her scarlet pupils were crystal clear and pure, yet deep and quiet, making it impossible to see through the emotions contained in those eyes.

Song Lu said: "That's great. I remember that the Silver-haired Prophet can heal diseases. I can ask him to check the old man's body..."

Luo Mingyue's hands were in the little human world, but her head was outside the cardboard box. She held the old man in one hand and came to the top of the yard of the Red-Eyed Prophet.

Immediately afterwards, Luo Mingyue’s head appeared in the sky.

The red-eyed prophet raised his head, a gentle smile appeared on his face, and he knelt down to Luo Mingyue, "Immortal."

"Hey?"

Luo Mingyue was stunned for a moment, "I've said it before, I don't like others kneeling to me..."

The Red Eyed Prophet said: "Praying to the immortal can extend my life. Kneeling down will have a better effect."

Hearing him say this, Luo Mingyue couldn't stop him, so she could only say: "...Okay, then extend your life a little longer. I hope you can live long and healthy."

After hearing this, the Red Eyed Prophet immediately kowtowed three times and said, "Thank you for the blessing, Immortal."

Luo Mingyue put the old man on the ground in front of him and said, "Thank you later. Let's go check on this old man first to see if he's okay."

The Red-eyed Prophet stood up and said helplessly, "When I kneel, there can't be anyone in front of me. The immortal should put this old man next to me, because others can't bear my kneeling."

Luo Mingyue said: "Okay, I will pay attention next time."

After a pause, she continued, "Then can I bear your kneeling?"

The Red-eyed Prophet said, "Of course you can. Immortals have infinite merits and virtues, and they are worthy of being worshipped by any living being in this world. Even if auspicious signs of heaven and earth such as dragons and phoenixes kneel down, the immortals can accept it calmly."

Luo Mingyue imagined Qingrui kneeling in front of her, and quickly shook her head to get rid of the image from her mind. She thought to herself: "Only these little people would think I'm a god. The Dragon and Phoenix tribes are naturally proud and will not surrender easily. Even if they sign a contract, they are partners, not master and servant..."

A silvery-white light shone from the red-eyed prophet's fingertips. The light poured into the old man's body and came out after a moment.

Song Lu asked: "How is it, is he okay?"

The Red-Eyed Prophet shook his head. "The situation is not good. It seems that part of his soul is missing. I can't explain it clearly. After all, I am only good at healing physical diseases, not summoning souls. I need to go to the place where he got into trouble and take a look."

Song Lu said, "He had an accident in the cemetery. At that time, there was a small green flame that frightened the old man... So, he lost his soul because he was too frightened?"
