Chapter 133: Great Friends
Zhen Yuanzi turned his head slightly and caught a glimpse of the weak true spirit of the Red Cloud Ancestor beside him, as if a gust of wind could blow it away.
Zhen Yuanzi's heart moved, and he turned to Luo Shu and said:
"My dear friend Luo Shu, please taste the ginseng fruit here first. I will take Hong Yun into the inner room to consolidate his true spirit to prevent it from dissipating."
Upon hearing this, Luo Shu bowed to Zhen Yuanzi and replied respectfully:
"Thank you, senior! Please do as you please, don't worry about me, just focus on healing Senior Hongyun. I will be waiting here."
At this moment, the corner of Hongyun Patriarch's mouth curled up a smile and said to Luo Shu:
"Eat more, my friend. When Zhen Yuanzi and I come out, we will talk to you in detail."
After saying this, Zhen Yuanzi brought the true spirit of Ancestor Hongyun into the inner room.
Luo Shu watched the two people's backs as they left, and couldn't help but feel deeply moved again.
He looked at the tightly closed stone door, feeling an inexplicable yearning and envy in his heart, and thought to himself:
"If I can have such a friend in this life, and talk about the mysteries of the world with him, my life will be enough!"
Luo Shu withdrew his gaze and turned to look at the wooden table beside him.
There were several crystal clear ginseng fruits on the table, exuding a faint fragrance.
Luo Shu slowly approached the wooden table, gently stretched out his hand, touched one of the ginseng fruits with his fingertips, and picked it up, carefully observing the appearance of the ginseng fruit.
Its skin was as smooth as jade, its color was warm, and its shape was extremely similar to that of a newborn baby. It seemed as if one could faintly see blood vessels and life veins under the skin.
Luo Shu couldn't help but mutter to himself:
"No wonder Tang Seng was so frightened when he saw the appearance of the ginseng fruit that he kept shirking his responsibilities. This ginseng fruit really looks like a newborn baby, lifelike and amazing."
As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Shu gently put the ginseng fruit into his mouth. His movements were so gentle, as if he was afraid of disturbing the "little baby".
He took a light bite, and suddenly, a sweet juice burst on the tip of his tongue and poured into his mouth like spring water. The taste was fresh and sweet, making people feel relaxed and happy.
As the juice slid down his throat, the essence contained in the ginseng fruit also sank into Luo Shu's body.
Although it has little effect on improving one's cultivation, eating it can make one's hearing and eyes clear.
Luo Shu closed his eyes and savored the wonderful feeling brought by the ginseng fruit.
In a moment, Luo Shu finished eating a ginseng fruit. Then, he picked up another ginseng fruit from the wooden table and put it into his mouth.
While chewing, Luo Shu couldn't help but sigh:
"This ginseng fruit, not to mention its miraculous effects, just the taste is unparalleled. It is sweet and delicious, with a refreshing fragrance and an endless aftertaste."
Afterwards, one, two, three... several ginseng fruits were swallowed into Luoshu's stomach.
"belch!!!"
A burp sound came from Luoshu's mouth. Luoshu touched his bulging belly and felt satisfied. Then he stopped taking the ginseng fruit.
Luo Shu looked at the remaining ginseng fruits on the wooden table and thought that his disciples on Yufu Mountain seemed to have not eaten them yet.
So, he waved his hand and put the remaining ginseng fruits into his pocket, preparing to let his disciples taste them after returning to Yufu Mountain.
After putting away the ginseng fruit on the wooden table, Luo Shu looked towards the stone gate for a moment. Then, he turned around and found a cushion to sit on.
"I don't know when the two seniors will come out of retreat. Since there is nothing to do at the moment, let's meditate for a while."
Luo Shu muttered to himself in a low voice, his voice revealing a sense of calmness and composure.
As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Shu closed his eyes, sat upright on the cushion, adjusted his breathing, and let his mind gradually calm down.
Gradually, he felt spiritual energy gathering from all directions and surrounding his body.
These spiritual powers were like a trickle of water, nourishing his body and mind and making him feel extremely comfortable and peaceful.
As time went by, Luoshu gradually entered the state of enlightenment.
In this way, Luo Shu meditated quietly on the cushion, immersed in the world of enlightenment.
……
A few days later.
"Click!!!"
A sound came from the inner room, waking up Luoshu who was in enlightenment.
Luo Shu suddenly opened his eyes, a gleam of brilliance flashed in his pupils, and he quickly adjusted his breathing, pulling his consciousness back to reality from the state of enlightenment.
He looked towards the inner room and saw a figure slowly walking out. It was Zhen Yuanzi.
Zhen Yuanzi's breath seemed a little disordered, as if he had just experienced a fierce battle.
After Zhen Yuanzi, Patriarch Hongyun also slowly floated out.
His aura was much steadier than before, and his figure became more solid, no longer as ethereal and invisible as before.
Seeing Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun Laozu appear, Luo Shu hurriedly stood up from the cushion and bowed respectfully to the two of them:
"Greetings to Senior Zhen Yuanzi and Senior Hong Yun!"
He continued:
“I feel that Senior Hongyun’s aura has become much stronger. It seems that the effect of closed-door training is very significant.”
Ancestor Hongyun smiled slightly and nodded, with a hint of joy in his voice:
"Thanks to Brother Zhenyuan's help, my injuries have been able to recover a little."
"Although I haven't fully recovered, I am much better now compared to my previous weak state where I could be blown away by the wind."
After a pause, Hong Yun looked at Zhen Yuanzi, his deep eyes full of gratitude, and continued:
"In order to stabilize my true spirit, Brother Zhenyuan used up all the spiritual roots and fruits he had collected for several epochs, and also consumed most of his own spiritual power."
The voice of Patriarch Hongyun gradually became low and choked with sobs.
Upon hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi stepped forward, gently patted Old Ancestor Hongyun on the shoulder, and said:
"Brother Hongyun, that's not right. You are my best friend. As long as you need me, I will help you even if I have to give up everything I have."
Zhen Yuanzi's voice was deep and powerful, and every word seemed to carry the sound of metal and stone, striking people's hearts.
Ancestor Hongyun felt the concern in Zhen Yuanzi's words, a trace of emotion flashed in his eyes, and he choked up and said:
"Brother Zhenyuan, I, Hongyun, will remember your kindness in my heart and will never forget it!"
Immediately, Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun Patriarch looked at each other with tears in their eyes. For a moment, the atmosphere around them slowly became a little different.
Luo Shu, who was standing aside, couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed when he saw the two seniors gazing at each other so affectionately.
In order to prevent the atmosphere from continuing to be immersed in this deep emotion and embarrassment, Luo Shu coughed lightly, walked forward, and broke the silence with a smile.
He first bowed respectfully to the two elders, then said loudly:
"It is a great blessing that Senior Hongyun has been able to return to the world and reappear in the prehistoric world. It is even more of a blessing that you have recovered from your injuries. I am very happy about it."
The gaze between Zhen Yuanzi and Old Ancestor Hong Yun was interrupted by Luo Shu's voice. They both turned their heads almost at the same time and looked at Luo Shu in unison.
Luo Shu was made even more embarrassed by this sudden scene, and his face felt a little hot.
Upon seeing this, Patriarch Hongyun raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a warm smile, his voice full of gratitude, and said with a smile:
"I am able to appear in the world this time thanks to my friend Luo Shu. If you hadn't obtained the Nine-Nine Soul Dispersion Gourd by chance and sent it to Wuzhuang Temple, I don't know when I would be able to return to the prehistoric world."
As soon as the Red Cloud Patriarch finished speaking, Zhen Yuanzi took over tacitly and said:
"Brother Hongyun is right. It's all thanks to little friend Luoshu. At first, I almost rejected you because of my friendship with the Chan Sect. Now that I think about it, I feel so ashamed. I apologize to you."
