Chapter 691: Someone Up There
When Li Ke opened his eyes, he saw a woman who was probably in her twenties, even skinny, with tears of relief and regret on her face. The woman just hugged him and then passed away.
Not long after, a man who looked very anxious rushed in and picked him up. If the people around him hadn't stopped him, he would have almost thrown him to the ground and crushed him to death.
Li Ke was confused throughout the whole process.
Because after he had gathered his previous talents, he no longer absorbed energy from the mother's body. He only absorbed enough energy for the minimum growth of his body. As a result, when he was born, he basically like a premature baby.
But seeing that these people were either rich or noble, why did my mother in this life still die of malnutrition?
Li Ke was very confused and even became a little autistic.
Then……
Just as he was at a loss and blaming himself, two figures, one in black and one in white, walked in, bowing to him as they came in.
"Well, Saint, we are just doing our routine, just our routine... Please don't be offended."
The two figures, one black and one white, the white one with a tall hat on, said "Make money as soon as you see it", while the black one said "Peace in the world". Not only did they walk in under Li Ke's stunned gaze, they also put the chains in their hands on the woman who had just died, and then the soul of the woman who had just passed away in grief was pulled out.
Li Ke: “…”
But Li Ke's shock did not stop the two men. They were completely businesslike and even seemed a bit friendly.
They waited until Wu's spirit regained consciousness before pulling the chain and explaining.
"Ms. Wu, the four extra years of your life that you gained to welcome the Saint have come to an end. It's time to go. The King of Hell has already made preparations."
After saying that, the two men took Wu and disappeared, leaving behind only the grieving man and Li Ke .
"So, my mother in this life should have died four years ago? Just because I was about to be born, she has four more years of life?"
Li Ke looked at the man who was crying while holding Wu's body, and when he looked at her with eyes full of hatred, she knew that her childhood was ruined.
Things were exactly as he thought, not only did his father in this life not want to pay attention to him, even his eight-year-old brother in this life did not treat him well.
No one had ever paid any attention to him since he was born, except when he had to pay respects to the current emperor during the annual festivals. Otherwise, they would not care about Li Ke at all.
And this neglect lasted for three years.
As for being bullied, he was not bullied at all, because after all, he was the son of a prince and it was impossible for him to be bullied by servants. Only his brother's attendants would sometimes secretly ridicule him, but they would be punished soon.
But Li Ke knew that it was all his brother's suggestion.
"This is really... frustrating."
Li Ke sighed helplessly. Ever since he was born and saw the Black and White Impermanence who were polite to him, he knew that there was a destiny in this world.
When his mother in this life was taken away, Black and White Impermanence made it very clear that it was in order to welcome his arrival that his mother in this life would have four more years of life.
And as soon as I was born, my soul would naturally return to the underworld.
"I don't know how it's going."
Sitting on the bed bored, Li Ke looked at the bright room and the wet nurse guarding him, feeling almost exploded with boredom.
It was very simple. After he was born, the mall system directly became a trading system using gold, silver and copper coins as currency. He could no longer exchange things with the energy of a meal.
But his current soul power was not enough to awaken the fox fairy sleeping in his soul, which really made him feel bored.
"I really hope there will be some fun."
Li Ke, who was muttering to himself, felt a large amount of auras quickly approaching him. Not long after, a large group of warriors in black armor broke into the yard, and then -
They took him into a small room and surrounded him in three layers.
In addition, he also saw his elder brother, whom he could hardly see. Like him, he was taken to this strange place and was kept under guard.
"What happened? Are you waiting to be beheaded?"
Li Ke complained speechlessly. He had never heard of any such person as King Zhong, so when he saw these soldiers controlling them, his first reaction was that he was going to be finished.
However, after Li Ke slept for a while out of boredom, he heard a piece of ridiculous news.
"What?! My father became the prince?"
Then, he finally knew who his grandfather was.
"What?! My grandfather is Li Longji?!"
After knowing all this, Li Ke covered his forehead speechlessly. He finally understood one thing completely.
I'm afraid there will be no possibility of reconciliation between me and my elder brother in this lifetime.
And the fact was just as he thought. Three days after the news was announced, he!
He was sent to Wudang Mountain, saying that he was going to become a monk to pray for his father.
“…”
Li Ke was speechless about his father's actions. This was just him. If it was any other child, he would definitely die after running such a long circle. However, he felt that this arrangement was quite good. As long as he became a monk, most of the troubles in this world would have nothing to do with him.
and……
He had inquired and found out that the person he wanted to become their disciple was called Lu Dongbin.
That’s right, it’s Lu Dongbin, one of the Eight Immortals!
Li Ke was very excited. He had been through so many worlds, but had basically never practiced orthodox cultivation. This was absolutely intolerable for a time traveler with such a golden finger!
But when he saw this Lu Dongbin——
“That… um.”
Lu Dongbin looked at the little kid who was led into the hall by the guards, and subconsciously wanted to refuse.
After all, he is the second son of the crown prince. Whether he accepts him as a disciple or not, he will get into trouble. But if he doesn't, their Wudang Mountain is not a real immortal cave. Even if he is besieged by the imperial army, he will die.
However, just when he wanted to casually accept this apprentice, give him two notebooks, and then worship him, the tortoise shell he had been playing with in his hand suddenly cracked for no reason, and an incredible hexagram appeared on the ground.
He took a look in shock, then looked at Li Ke who was also speechless, then looked at the hexagram again, and finally couldn't hold it in anymore and asked Li Ke.
"You have someone above you?"
The meaning of the hexagram is simple, even easy to understand.
'I am the Way of Heaven, and he is here to help.'
