Chapter 54: The Golden Tomb of Eternal Life

  Jian Yu Mei saw Master's letter, he performed a grand ceremony of bowing in front of the body of Chen Lao Xian Shifu.

  Then he started looking for wood everywhere, and found a lot of wood in the kitchen behind the house and in the mountain forest beside it. He piled up all the wood together.

  Then he carried Chen Laoxian's body onto the wood.

  Let the raging flames rise, Xiang Yu bowed down again. One day as a teacher is a lifetime as a father, let alone having Chen Laoxian's more than 200 years of cultivation in his own body.

  Jian Yu Mei thought to herself that she must go back and ask her master about Chen Lao Xian's past experiences in detail, and also take the opportunity to reminisce about him.

  After the flames went out, Jian Yu picked up the ashes of Chen Lao Xian and saw that there were many crystal-like objects in the ashes. He knew these were sarira, it seemed Chen Lao Xian was a Buddhist-Taoist practitioner.

  Jian Yu Mei found a small porcelain jar in the house and put the bone ash and crystal into it.

  Jian Yu Mei put the urn on the table, looking at it and recalling the old immortal's appearance and smile. He let out a sigh.

  At this time, the sky had already darkened, Jian Yu Mei found some rice in Lao Shen Xian's house, and he casually made some porridge in the kitchen behind. After drinking the porridge, he fell asleep on the bed in a daze.

  That night, Jian Yu Mei's mind kept flashing with many images, those images were very messy.

  It was in the distant ancient times, on the battlefield of gold and iron, that a man named Li Yuanhao led his countless soldiers to capture cities and territories. His gaze was so resolute, with just one wave of his hand, tens of thousands of people rushed into the realm of blood and fire, life and death, everything like a magnificent yet cruel painting. In an instant, on the battlefield, there were only remnants of sunset-like blood, the corpses of dead generals and soldiers scattered all over the field, those war horses still waiting for their masters. Li Yuanhao was standing there, speechless, his sword stuck in the ground, its blade stained with blood. At this moment, Li Yuanhao felt so lonely.

  Then the painting scroll switched again, and in a flash of an eye, it came to a very large palace. Although the palace was built on a yellow earth surrounded by a city wall, the scenery inside the palace seemed like Jiangnan, with small bridges and flowing water, pavilions and towers, there were palaces with big round tops, and also houses with flying eaves and carved beams. This is a foreign land, but it can still evoke memories of Jiangnan.

  Jian Yu Mei saw that inside, countless palace people were walking around, the palace girls were moving around inside, everything was so luxurious and wealthy, but Jian Yu Mei saw a person, a woman in magnificent attire, the woman was so beautiful yet she was also so sorrowful.

  Her eyes were so beautiful and melancholic, her figure was so light and elegant, she walked slowly, and in Jian Yu Mei's mind, he could only think of the lines from the Ode to the Goddess of Luo: "With every step, a faint mist arises; with every movement, a cloud is born."

  At this time, Jian Yu Mei saw that the king who was called Li Yuan Hua had returned. He lovingly supported the woman with infinite tenderness. The woman looked at him with an expression full of happiness.

  It was just a blink of an eye, and Li Yuanhao was about to set foot on the dusty road again. Only that woman was there to see him off.

  Jian Yu Mei saw the woman's eyes filled with reluctance at parting, and Li Yuan Hua's eyes were also full of tenderness. But that was only for a moment, soon Li Yuan Hua had a resolute expression again. He turned around, leading his iron army away, leaving the woman standing alone on high ground. At this moment, the wind blew, her skirt fluttering in the breeze, everything like a beautiful painting.

  But in the blink of an eye, the painting had shifted to that large house with flying eaves and carved beams. On that big bed, the girl was already dead, lying there. Her face was still so beautiful, her body still so enchanting, only she was quietly lying there, no longer smiling, no longer sorrowful, just closed eyes and long eyelashes.

  Jian Yu Mei looked at this scene, and suddenly he also shed tears.

  Jian Yu Mei only saw that person named Li Yuan Hua, also standing there with tears in his eyes, he didn't move at all, his whole body still wearing armor, a look of dust not yet settled.

  He stood there in a daze, unaware of how much time had passed.

  Jian Yu Mei only saw him giving orders, "Take the gold from the national treasury and build a magnificent tomb, let her rest inside."

  Then, Jian Yu Mei heard him giving orders there: "Put the elixir of immortality that Fang Shi just offered, which has the effect of reviving the dead, in front of Zi Er's coffin! Let her be reborn one day!"

  Jian Yu Mei muttered to herself: "The immortal elixir of eternal youth?"

  Jian Yu Mei clearly remembered herself muttering like this in her dream.

  In a very short time, a magnificent golden tomb was built. In this tomb, everything on the ceiling and floor was decorated with gold. On the golden platform in the middle, a golden coffin was placed. The beautiful woman named Zi'er was quietly sleeping inside, as if waiting for her beloved to come and wake her up, so they could ride horses together on the lush green grassland.

  Then everything was a dark piece, as if it had entered a deep millennium.

  Jian Yu Mei felt suffocated in her chest and let out a loud cry.

  Then he woke up in his dream.

  After waking up, the moonlight was like water, and he saw Chen Laoxian's ashes on the table.

  Jian Yu looked at all of this in a daze, he had some indescribable emotions.

  However, Jian Yu Mei soon felt something on her chest.

  He reached out and touched it, and it turned out to be a purple earring!

  Purple pendant? Xian Yu Mei's muttering in a low voice.

  At this moment, he also felt that his chest was completely wet. Jian Yu Mei touched it and found that the clothes on her chest were indeed wet. She touched it again and put it in her mouth to lick, the water was a bit salty, could it be tears?

  Jian Yu Mei was shocked, could it be that someone was crying on her chest?

  All this is too strange, unthinkable!

  Jian Yu Mei held the purple pendant and hastily got up, rushing out of the house. Under the bright moonlight, everything was so clear and clean, but where was that person?

  Jian Yu thought of his master's words, that it was a woman, but which woman would it be?

  Could it be that woman in the tomb, that sorrowful walking woman in the palace?

  Jian Yu Mei was somewhat perplexed at this moment.

  In this Zhongnan Mountain, Xian Yu Mei feels that countless lives are stirring, countless creatures are breathing, growing and dying, including trees, animals, humans, and some highly intelligent beings, all of which are active here, but who can she tell her own experiences to.

  Jian Yu was dazed and stood there in a trance until the sky gradually brightened.

  Jian Yu Mei returned to the old immortal's house, he finished drinking the porridge that he hadn't finished last night, then he gently said in front of the old immortal's ashes: "Master, let me take you to my other master's place, we will bury you behind our house, so we can see you anytime!"

  After finishing speaking, Jian Yu Mei took the small urn containing the old immortal's ashes and left the old immortal's hut, setting foot on the road back.

  At this moment, Jian Yu thought of that teleportation technique. He knew that both the teleportation technique and the direct thousand-mile movement required power, but the teleportation technique required relatively less power.

  "Then let's hide for a while!" Jian Yu Mei set her intention and directly targeted the house of her master.
