Chapter 167 Another Wear and Tear
Bona was pushed in a wheelchair on the land outside Xumi City. Recently, he felt that his time was coming to an end. He originally wanted to die quietly, but when people get old, they are no longer in control. In the end, he could only follow the nursing doctor's advice and have someone accompany him for a walk every day.
In a trance, Bona seemed to see a figure walking towards him. Bona knew that he didn't have much time left, so he smiled and stretched out his hand to the figure, then followed her.
"Lord Tree King!" This was Bona's last voice.
…
As Ren Lian Lingyi was walking down the port of Xumi City, his eyebrows twitched. A feeling of sadness instantly surged into his heart. Ren Lian Lingyi covered his forehead and realized that another old friend of his was gone.
Sure enough, not long after, Ren Lian Lingyi heard that the previous great sage, "the far-sighted wisdom" Bona, left the world with a smile while taking a walk.
"I still haven't made it." Ren Lian Lingyi sighed and submitted his credentials to the Ministry of Religion.
"Please accept my condolences, 'the wisdom that has long since disappeared.'" The current sage of the Life Theory School said with a heavy face, "The teacher's passing is a loss to the entire Xumi. However, I think it is also because he was too outstanding, so His Majesty the Great Compassion Tree King does not want his wisdom, which is as bright as the sun, to be trapped in an old and rotten body."
"Let's go, let's go see that guy Bona."
When Ren Lian Lingyi and others arrived, Bona had already been invited into the coffin. The ones busy were Bona's grandson in his fifties, the current Grand Disciplinary Officer, and his great-grandson in his twenties.
I nodded to this stern disciplinary officer as a greeting.
Ren Lian Lingyi didn't know what kind of mood he was in after attending Bona's funeral. He only knew that time had passed in a flash.
It was not until Bona's final verdict was made and the current great sage from the Court of the Decrees came out to read out Bona's life's achievements that Ren Lian Lingyi came to his senses.
"Alas~ It's time to go. Another wear and tear."
As he spoke, Ren Lian Lingyi restrained his presence, then turned into a sky full of thunder and disappeared in front of everyone. Most people didn't even notice his departure.
…
"I thought I could see him for the last time, but I didn't expect to feel his departure as soon as I stepped onto the land of Xumi."
"Don't be too sad." Lei Dianying touched Ren Lian Lingyi.
"I'm not too sad. What I'm thinking about now is how to make good use of Jersey." Ren Lian Lingyi said.
"Although Jersey's talent in ordinary scientific research is unremarkable, his research on concealment and presence is very in-depth, so I plan to let him participate in the study of the technology of hiding things with Guan Wenming." Ren Lian Lingyi said, "This is in line with his major, and I think if this is done, the breakthrough in research will be much faster."
Lei Dianying patted Lian Lingyi's shoulder and said, "Then I'll leave it to you."
Ren Lian Lingyi found Jersey in the Guardian Forest, where he was discussing hidden techniques with the Last Ninja.
"Jersey, your father..."
As soon as Ren Lian Lingyi opened his mouth, Jersey was already half-kneeling on the ground crying like a baby. The last ninja master bowed to Ren Lian Lingyi and then took his leave.
It took a while for Jersey to come back to his senses and quickly cleaned himself up: "I'm sorry, Master Renlian, I made a fool of myself."
"Uh~ It's nothing. I can somewhat understand your sadness." Ren Lian Lingyi said.
"I would like to ask if you would like to participate in a research study."
"A study in hiding things."
"I am willing to participate in the research." Jersey said self-deprecatingly, "Although my research is just a minor topic in the evaluation of the Ministry of Justice, their fear has made me realize that my research is not as worthless as they say. At least my son has used this technology very well."
"That's good, that's the kind of spirit you should have, Jersey." Ren Lian Lingyi nodded with satisfaction as he looked at Jersey who had recovered. In fact, Jersey just had a momentary burst of sadness.
He had anticipated his father's death just like Ren Lian Lingyi. After all, humans are not monsters and death is inevitable in the long river of time, it's just a matter of sooner or later.
After obtaining the consent of the final ninja, Ren Lian Lingyi brought them to a cave located in the final ninja.
This is the research site for Heguan hiding technology , and finally handed over to the Society Bugyo for maintenance.
Since this technology has certain taboo attributes, Ren Lian Lingyi will add memory locks to everyone who enters here, including Ren Lian Lingyi himself, to prevent the outflow of taboo knowledge here.
Stored here are the original rubbings of the hidden knowledge of Heguan, the version translated by Kanriya, the version translated by Inazuma himself, and of course the version interpreted by the survivors of Heguan.
However, even with so many versions, the results are pitifully few . After all, everyone's research talent in concealment and hiding is only at the level of ordinary people, which is really not that good.
The previous invisibility barrier was also contaminated by the light of Ren Lian Lingyi's previous life, and this barrier had to be used in conjunction with the Mist Concealment Technique, which was very troublesome.
Jersey is worthy of being a professionally trained Xumi scholar. Although he has not done much in-depth research on ancient characters, he has still deciphered a lot of written information of the Heguan ancient civilization.
As for why Ren Lian Lingyi appeared here, he was providing computing services to the people here. These computing services could not be handed over to [Resurrection], so Ren Lian Lingyi had to do it himself. It was not strange for him to come here and act as a human computer.
With the help of Ren Lian Lingyi, on the first day of entering the laboratory, Jersey analyzed a small technique for hiding things from the rubbings of the original text of Heguan.
It can make something that originally existed become non-existent. Of course, this technology does not involve the technology of creating things out of thin air. It just hides the other party temporarily. Otherwise, it would not be called a small technology by Ren Lian Lingyi.
Ren Lian Lingyi's role here is to help them quickly complete the technology verification.
However, Ren Lian Lingyi cannot come here often. He basically comes once a week. The rest of the time, Ren Lian Lingyi has to complete daily work, extra work, and some other research, and of course the most important research on the soul.
The research direction of the Heguan civilization on the soul is too peculiar. Even Ren Lian Lingyi felt that he benefited a lot after the research.
"Everything is progressing steadily, which is great." Ren Lian Lingyi sighed as he stood on the castle tower.
"Lord Blade, I have just adopted a new son and would like to invite you to come and watch the ceremony." Ying said to Tengu.
"Oh~ I wonder which family this talent is from." Ren Lian Lingyi asked after receiving the invitation.
"He is the son of a commoner. I saw that he has extraordinary talent, so I planned to adopt him as my son." Tengu said.
