Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1601 Linjiangxian 22

Bai Jiusi and Hua Ruyue looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes. They really thought that Jiang Xinxin was some kind of immortal who had come down to earth to endure the tribulation, but they didn't expect that she was not undergoing the tribulation at all!

After a while, Hua Ruyue asked Bai Jiusi, "Is there any need to ask more?"

It is impossible to tell where the master is, and it is not about overcoming tribulations, so it can only be about cultivation.

But looking at what Jiang Xinxin did in Songhe County, the merit of relieving so many women of their illnesses is enough for her to ascend to heaven smoothly. Why does she still stay in the human world?

Hua Ruyue couldn't help but ask, "Yuan Xin, don't you want to ascend to the immortal realm and become an immortal?"

Jiang Xinxin stared at Hua Ruyue blankly, but her eyes were not focused on her. But for a moment, Hua Ruyue felt that she had been completely seen through.

After a long while, Jiang Xinxin finally seemed to react and replied with a smile: "No..."

"Don't be a god..."

“It’s too hard…”

Hua Ruoyue and Bai Jiusi were speechless. They couldn't believe that there were people who thought being an immortal was too hard and therefore chose not to ascend.

Bai Jiusi couldn't help but complain: "Then what is the purpose of her cultivation?"

"It can't be for a fight!"

Hua Ruyue treated Jiang Xinxin as a friend, so she forced herself to explain on her behalf, "But Yuan Xin has spread her knowledge like this, and has cured countless mortals of their suffering. You and I have witnessed her immeasurable merits. Whether she ascends to heaven or not is irrelevant."

Jiang Xinxin built a stilt house on the coast of the South China Sea. The lower floor is suspended in the air and people only live on the upper floors. There is nothing special about this house. It is just that the foundation is raised and exposed. The locals just come to see it for fun.

However, there were also young people who thought such small buildings were beautiful. When they were building their own houses, they couldn't help but come to ask for advice and brought some gifts. Jiang Xinxin accepted everyone and taught her everything she knew. She quickly integrated into the local people and reopened the clinic.

Small places have always lacked medicine. The local products are abundant but there are not many fields, so most people need to go up the mountain to gather or hunt to make up for the lack of food.

Whether it is going up the mountain to gather or hunting, it is a difficult task that requires certain experience and skills to complete. Even if young people have been taught these by their elders since childhood, they still cannot avoid injuries.

In fact, each family always has some secret recipes for stopping bleeding or healing injuries, as well as anthelmintic powders, but their secret recipes are no match for Jiang Xinxin's craftsmanship. Jiang Xinxin's best skill is stopping bleeding. With a packet of powder poured in, no matter how severe the bleeding is, it can be successfully stopped after two or three breaths.

So Jiang Xinxin easily established her foothold with her hemostatic prescription, and Bai Jiusi and Hua Ruyue also did their old business, finding ways to transport the South China Sea specialties out, so that everyone could make more money, and they were naturally very respected.

The two families settled down in this small town on the coast of the South China Sea, and twenty years passed in a hurry. Hua Ruyue woke up inexplicably one night and remembered that when they left, she vowed to help them guard Meng Chi in Qichiju.

Hua Ruyue felt Bai Jiusi's heartache, and after thinking for a while, she finally said, "Jiusi, I want to go back and see Meng Chi..."

Bai Jiusi immediately objected: "It's been twenty years since we left Songhe County. I don't know how many people still remember us. And Meng Chi probably has a grandson by now. There's really no need for us to meet again..."

For the first time, Hua Ruyue expressed her regret for rashly using magic to save Meng Chi. "Perhaps I should have been calmer back then. Maybe I could have thought of another way to save Meng Chi, instead of using the magic power only available to gods when I was clearly a mortal..."

Hua Ruyue brought up the matter on her own initiative, and Bai Jiusi wanted to say a few more words, but he couldn't bear to see her saddened. He could only carefully embrace her and soothe her, saying, "No matter what happens in the future, we should just pretend to be completely mortal. Besides, we shouldn't have used our magic power in the first place."

"But since you're thinking about Meng Chi, it's not a bad idea for us to go back and see him. But you have to remember that we can't show up in front of others."

Hua Ruyue got the support of Bai Jiusi and started packing her luggage early the next morning to prepare for a trip to Songhe County.

Hua Ruyue and Bai Jiusi's home was just across a hedge from Jiang Xinxin's. The noise of her noisy packing quickly reached Jiang Xinxin's ears, and she hurried over to inquire about the situation. "Are you going on a long trip? The noise you're making is a bit louder than usual."

Hua Ruyue hesitated for a moment and told Jiang Xinxin the truth: "Jiusi and I are planning to go back to Songhe County..."

Jiang Xinxin had been restless and eager to move, but she hadn't thought about moving with Hua Ruyue and Bai Jiusi, so she smiled and said, "I'm planning to go out to sea and take a look. Perhaps there's some paradise waiting for me to explore in the South China Sea."

Hua Ruyue carefully reflected on the situation in this mortal world. She had originally planned to bluntly say that there was nothing in the South China Sea that could be called a paradise. But just as she was about to say that, she realized that it would be inappropriate to say so. She could only chuckle and said, "Then you must be careful. If you haven't returned by the time we get back, Jiusi and I will look for you."

Jiang Xinxin declined the offer. "Forget it, I don't plan on going far. If I don't see any good places in ten days or half a month, I'll just wander around and come back."

The two families packed up their things and prepared to go on a long journey, which caused a lot of noise. People in the village came to their homes to show their concern, worried that they would not come back.

Jiang Xinxin didn't have much to say, but she carefully reminded the young people she had taught not to slack off and to do their work well during her absence.

Hua Ruyue and Bai Jiusi directly promised to come back soon, but the village chief said that since their appearance had not changed in twenty years, they were definitely not ordinary people, which made Hua Ruyue and Bai Jiusi think about moving again.

Meng Chi's grandson had grown up, but he still remembered Hua Ruyue. Hua Ruyue only showed up halfway, and he knew that it was the Madam and the Master who had returned. He didn't shout or scream along the way, but he chased them all the way across most of Songhe County.

Bai Jiusi pulled Hua Ruyue to avoid Meng Chi's pursuit and went straight out of the city. Hua Ruyue sat in the carriage speechless for a moment.

Bai Jiusi spoke directly, "You've seen that Meng Chi is living a good life. You suffered backlash in order to save him. Now it's not good to continue to contact him, otherwise I'm afraid Meng Chi's family will become our doom."

Hua Ruyue's attention was drawn to her, and she couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean by that?"

Bai Jiusi smiled and said, "I've been friends with Yuan Xin for a long time. Although I've heard a lot of crooked ideas from her, many of her statements do make sense."

"You first taught Meng Chi to paint using his five senses, and then used magic to save Meng Chi's life. Meng Chi still misses you. If we continue to think along these lines, and if we also save Meng Chi's children and grandchildren, then the karmic grievances between Meng Chi's descendants and you and me will only become more deeply entangled."
