Chapter 40: New Grave Added on the Old Tomb, Left Emperor Moves
As he spoke, Chen Changsheng was about to help Li Jinshui change his clothes.
However, Li Jinshui used the little strength he had left to push Chen Changsheng’s hand away.
“Good for you, you stinky brat. Even though I’m about to d*e, I am still here, aren’t I?”
“I haven’t seen you in ages, can’t you let me at least talk to you?”
Hearing Li Jinshui’s words, Chen Changsheng rolled his eyes dramatically.
“Third Senior Brother, we’ve reached this point; don’t tell me you still have unfulfilled desires.”
“You know me; I am the kind of person who hates trouble. Collecting corpses and conducting funerals is just fine.”
“But fulfilling a last wish is not my forte.”
Facing Chen Changsheng’s remarks, Li Jinshui suddenly seemed to regain a bit of spirit, as if a light had turned back on.
“You’re full of cr*p! Do you think I can’t let go?”
“Things I couldn’t finish in life will not trouble anyone after I’m gone.”
“I just wanted to praise you before I d*e; is that so wrong?”
As soon as he said this, a smile appeared on Chen Changsheng’s face.
“Of course, it’s fine! I rarely hear praise from you, Third Senior Brother!”
“Praising you is just encouragement, but don’t get too proud.”
The two resumed their conversation as before, but the smiles didn’t last long, and they fell silent once again.
After a while, Li Jinshui struggled to touch the gravestone of the Yuanshen Shangren.
As he stroked the words on the gravestone, a drop of light brown bl**d tear fell from his single eye.
“A lifetime of being, a season of grass and wood, no matter how you commanded the winds and clouds in life, you can’t escape these few planks in the end.”
“What techniques, what divine instruments, they are all just past clouds and mist.”
“When your master made a coffin from thunderstruck wood, I thought you were childish.”
“But now I realize, within Shangqing View, you were the clearest of all.”
After he finished speaking, Li Jinshui’s mouth began to tremble.
After a long time, he regained his composure and once again wore a smile.
“I’ve said my sentimental words, let me see what kind of coffin you’ve prepared for me.”
Facing Li Jinshui’s “urging,” Chen Changsheng took out an exquisite coffin from the space.
“Senior Brother, I’ve prepared a fine coffin made of golden silk nanmu wood for you!”
“Golden silk nanmu wood can keep the body from decay for a thousand years. Feel it.”
As he spoke, Chen Changsheng helped Li Jinshui to the front of the coffin.
Touching the wood grain, Li Jinshui nodded in satisfaction.
“Very good, I won’t regret taking care of you.”
“Have you prepared a coffin for our ancestor?”
“Yes, I’ve prepared it.”
“A coffin made of thunderstruck peach wood, engraved with all the formations I’ve learned, ensuring our ancestor won’t rise from the dead.”
“At that time, I will bury our ancestor together with you, so you can slowly discuss the past with him.”
“Hahaha!”
Hearing Chen Changsheng’s response, Li Jinshui burst into hearty laughter.
“Still, little junior brother, your thoughtfulness is commendable!”
After that, Li Jinshui straightened his body and smoothed out the wrinkles in his clothes, then he froze in this position forever.
Looking at Li Jinshui, who had completely lost his vitality, Chen Changsheng calmly dealt with his affairs.
After everything was done, Chen Changsheng buried the coffin in the grave that Li Jinshui had dug and erected a tombstone for him.
The inscription on the tombstone still read “Undertaker” in three characters.
Looking at the gravestone he had erected with his own hands, Chen Changsheng quietly took out a jar of wine.
“Senior Brother, this is the Baihua wine I brewed according to ancient methods.”
“When we were in the Limitless Secret Realm, I pulled Yuanshan and didn’t let him fight with others.”
“According to custom, I surely will be reprimanded by my master again.”
“In order to avoid punishment, I brewed this Baihua wine, and I prepared a portion for my master, hoping he will be merciful.”
“A part of the wine is also to bribe you, so that you can speak for me!”
“Who would have thought that after coming out of the Limitless Secret Realm, things happened one after another, and you are only now able to drink this jar of Baihua wine.”
“However, this is not a bad thing. Seventy years of sedimentation has enhanced the taste of the Baihua wine. You and my master will surely love it.”
With that, Chen Changsheng poured the Baihua wine in front of the graves of Third Senior Brother and Yuanshen Shangren.
Once the Baihua wine was poured out, Chen Changsheng said,
“Two people sharing a jar is indeed a little stingy, but I only have ten jars in total, and I still want to drink the rest, so please make do with it.”
“After all, you can’t jump up from down there to hit me.”
After speaking, Chen Changsheng turned and left the dilapidated Shangqing View.
However, at this moment, Chen Changsheng turned his back to the nine tombs and waved his hand.
“Master and Senior Brothers, I still need to bring our ancestor to see you. I’ll be leaving first!”
Chen Changsheng’s tone showed no sadness, as if in his heart, this was just a brief farewell with old friends.
……
The war horn of Xuanwu Kingdom quickly sounded.
Although Night Moon Nation had already swallowed the Great Qian Dynasty, during this period, the foundations of both nations had significantly depleted.
Now, faced with the immensely powerful Xuanwu Kingdom, Night Moon Nation could only retreat steadily.
No reasons, no extra words.
Left Emperor did not heed any negotiations from Night Moon Nation and directly swept everything aside with his overwhelming strength.
In just a month, Left Emperor had reduced Night Moon Nation to fragments.
At the same time, the sites of two Bronze Ancient Palaces were completely surrounded by Left Emperor.
“Father, the Limitless Secret Realm is already under our control; now we only need to deal with the forbidden ground occupied by the Yuanshan Real Person.”
“Additionally, people from Heavenly Buddha Temple wish to see you, Father.”
Zuo Xinghe reported the situation to Left Emperor.
Upon hearing this, Left Emperor said lightly, “Surround the forbidden ground of Night Moon Nation but do not attack; let those people from Heavenly Buddha Temple wait.”
“We need to finish what we started, and since this matter arose because of Chen Changsheng, it will naturally be concluded by him.”
As he spoke, Left Emperor paused for a moment and then looked into the distance.
“It’s quite a coincidence; just when I mentioned him, he has arrived.”
A light point appeared at the edge of the sky, gradually enlarging before landing on the deck.
“Your Majesty, forgive me. Changsheng has been dealing with some personal affairs and arrived late.”
Seeing Chen Changsheng bowing, Left Emperor’s mouth curved up slightly.
“Not late at all; you’ve come just in time.”
“I have trapped your ancestor in the forbidden ground, waiting for you to send him off.”
“I have to say, your ancestor does possess some skills; it took me two moves to defeat his clone.”
“Also, your old acquaintances seem to know you’ve arrived.”
“So, do you plan to send off your ancestor first or see your old acquaintances first?”
Faced with the choice given by Left Emperor, Chen Changsheng grinned and said,
“Of course, I’ll see my old acquaintances first. Although my ancestor isn’t much in your eyes, I am not his match. What if he counterattacks at the last moment? I can’t handle that.”
“So I think it’s best if we split our forces.”
“Hahaha!”
Hearing Chen Changsheng’s words, Left Emperor pointed at him and laughed.
“I truly admire your cautiousness in doing things.”
“Fine, I’ll allow you some leeway with your ancestor, so you may reminisce.”
With that, Left Emperor instantly appeared above the forbidden ground, raising his right fist and swinging it down with force.
“Boom!”
A massive fist imprint appeared on the ground, shattering mountains and rivers within a hundred miles into dust.
Chen Changsheng: !!!
Is it really this powerful?
