Chapter 162: A mere mortal body

After finishing this matter with a mere mortal body, Cheng Yurong was so happy that she even ate half a bowl more of dinner.

  The next day, Cheng Shan got on the carriage and left the capital with a team of several hundred people.

  Under the pretext of returning to his hometown to worship his ancestors, he took away dozens of carts of supplies when he passed by Cheng Yurong's village.

  ...

  Shen Zhiqing began to worry about the cake shop business, because the business was much dull and he couldn't make much money.

  After all, after being open for a year, the cake shop only had five flavors of cakes, and the customers were tired of them.

  It's time to introduce new flavors to retain customers.

  Then he thought of the five flavors of toast he had eaten in the past two months, one was honey buns, and the second was croissants.

  The third type is pumpkin nut bread, the fourth type is bean paste bread, and the fifth type is white bread.

  After discussing with his mother, he decisively launched these five types of bread.

  The family can stay in Dai Viet for more than ten years at most. According to my sister's cultivation talent, it is very likely that they will leave here within ten years.

  Shen Zhiqing was busy promoting new products for several days and lost a few pounds due to exhaustion.

  Ruan Ruan, on the other hand, was busy practicing and fell into obsession, and didn't pay much attention to family matters.

  He didn't even remember that Chu Jingyi didn't come to play with him for half a month.

  "Sister, can you help Chu Jingyi?" After Shen Zhicheng returned to Prince Shen's Mansion from the academy, he found Ruan Ruan and asked her to talk.

  "???" She was stunned for a moment, put down the book "Spell Formula", and then remembered that there was Chu Jingyi in the world.

  "What's wrong with him? Did he get caught doing something bad?"

  "It's not him... Well, it's his grandfather who is sick. He is very sad and hasn't come to the academy for several days."

  Shen Zhicheng sighed. If he could have someone like Chu It's great that grandpa is such a good grandpa.

  Instead of having a bad grandpa who sets fire to them and still lives.

  "Sick? It doesn't matter. If you are sick, just go to the doctor." Ruan Ruan looked indifferent.

  Seeing his sister's cold expression, Shen Zhicheng was stunned.

  Before, she cared about her relatives and friends, giving elixirs and peace charms and so on. Why did she change so much after cultivating?

  "I looked it up, and several imperial doctors said there is no cure. As we get older, our bodies also age."

  "Whether it's humans, animals, or plants, they all have set programs, and no one can escape."

  Ruan Ruan The expression on his face was slightly indifferent, and his eyes were as calm as lake water.

  Shen Zhicheng frowned and asked,

  "Sister, Chu Jingyi is not bad to you, right? Can't you help him? He is only six years old, how pitiful it would be without his grandfather."

  "???" Now Ruan Ruan was stunned.

  "Fifth brother, it's not that I don't want to help. Grandpa Chu is dying, and his fate is like this. He is not sick or injured in an accident. If I save the injured and sick people, I will bring more blessings than bad luck.

  I can easily " Song took out the elixir to make Grandpa Chu live a few more years, but this is going against God and going against God's will...

  I will also interfere with other people's cause and effect. If I help his cause, I have to bear his consequences,"

  she said . After cultivating, she gradually understood the rules of the world of cultivation. Not many things can help her. Even if she saves a patient, she will suffer bad luck.

  Who knows if this patient is a good person or a bad person?

  Who knows whether this patient will do good things or harm innocent people in the future?

  If this person is a bad person, and she saves him, it means that she is sorry for the innocent souls who were killed by him.

  If this person harms innocent people in the future, then she will become his accomplice.

  "You have changed, how can you be so cold? Sister, you would not have been like this before."

  Shen Zhiyuan shook his head, his eyes red.

  "Fifth brother, no... I... I slowly realized these truths... Doing good deeds is indeed a beautiful thing that can accumulate virtue and be praised by everyone, but it also depends on the situation."

  Ruan Ruan She frowned, the way Fifth Brother looked at her and what he said made her sad.

  She also asked herself in her heart, was it right not to save Grandpa Chu?

  He was only in his early sixties, and he had children at an old age. When it came to grandchildren, he had been begging for several years before he could have his only grandson, Chu Jingyi.

  But before they have enjoyed a few years of family happiness, they have to be separated by heaven and earth.     It's a pity after all.

  Shen Zhiyu and Shen Zhiji heard the noise and walked into their sister's bedroom.

  After listening to a few words said by Shen Zhicheng and his sister, they roughly knew what was going on.

  "Xiaowu, let nature take its course. Don't seek perfection, just peace of mind.

  Everyone in this world has his own destiny. How many people in the world dare to fight against the sky and win?"

  Shen Zhiyu said some philosophy for the first time. In terms of taste.

  Especially in the past two years, when he was fighting with Shen Qingqing and Shen Shaocheng, he felt a clear sense of powerlessness.

  If it weren't for his strong will, he would have given up long ago.

  "..." Shen Zhicheng pursed his lips and said nothing more.

  Ruan Ruan bit her lip. She knew that Fifth Brother thought she was cold-blooded and would not help even if he had the ability.

  Besides, my grandfather is a good friend and not a stranger.

  The last time she changed the door plaque and held a banquet, she had already seen that Grandpa Chu's longevity was almost gone, but she felt that everyone had their own destiny, and she could not interfere too much.

  As for helping the Queen Mother before, that was because there were interests involved.

  Hey, hey, hey...

  I don't want to think about it anymore, the more I think about it, the more upset I get.

  Shen Zhiyu and Shen Zhijie took out their own peace charms and handed them to Shen Zhicheng.

  "Fifth brother, please give the Peace Talisman to Grandpa Chu and see if it works."

  "No need... I tried it a few days ago, but it didn't work." He shook his head weakly and lowered his eyes sadly.

  Maybe God

  's will is like this... How can a mere mortal body fight against the law of heaven?

  "Perhaps one peace talisman is not powerful enough? There are two of them, and the three of them will have some effect." Shen Zhijie put the two peace talismans into Shen Zhicheng's hands and pushed him out.

  "Go see Grandpa Chu quickly, don't delay."

  "Is it really useful?" Shen Zhicheng raised his head, his eyes shining.

  "Sincerity leads to spiritual success."

  "Okay!"

  ...

  After Shen Zhicheng left, Shen Zhiyu and Shen Zhiji took Ruan Ruan for a walk in the garden.

  In Kyoto in September, everything slowly turns from mature to withered.

  Along the way, the three of them didn't speak.

  Ruan Ruan walked to the swing and stopped. Shen Zhiyu immediately understood what she meant, picked her up, sat on the swing, and slowly rocked her.

  Shen Zhijie took a candied haws from the maid and gave it to Ruan Ruan.

  She hesitated for a moment, then took the candied haws.

  Since practicing Qi, her food intake has been reduced by two-thirds, and she can even stop eating.

  There are also many habits that are quietly changing.

  Looking back, she realized more and more that as long as she embarked on the path of cultivation, she might have to be separated from her loved ones and practice alone deep in the mountains.

  Only by staying away from the mortal world and without distractions can she go further and further on the road of cultivation.

  Otherwise...

  "Third brother, fourth brother, do you also think that I have changed... become cold-blooded... ruthless..." Ruan Ruan took a bite of hawthorn, and the sweet and sour taste instantly stimulated her taste buds.

  I haven't eaten it for a long time, and it's been two months since I last had candied haws.

  I used to eat two or three skewers every now and then, but now I no longer want to eat them.
