Asking about longevity

Your mother worked too hard and used her spiritual power to activate the stove fire for a long time. Her heart and lungs were damaged by the fire. She was coughing, weak and had difficulty breathing.

Mr. Feng explained his condition to Mo Hua and continued:

When I first brought it here, I was almost out of breath. I made some elixirs and it temporarily relieved me. You don't have to worry about it for a short time, but you need to take good care of yourself in the future. You can no longer use your spiritual power to activate the stove fire. The kitchen helper in the dining room You can't do any more errands, otherwise your heart and lungs will be broken sooner or later, and you won't be able to survive.

Mo Hua was frightened after hearing this, and couldn't help but bowed deeply again, saying: Grandpa Feng's kindness, Mo Hua will keep it in mind!

Mr. Feng helped Mo Hua up, smiled slightly, and said: It is the duty of the alchemist to save lives and heal the wounded, so there is no need to talk about kindness. Although you are a young child, you are still very serious in your speech. When you repay the favor, I may give it to you soon. He was buried.”

Mo Hua breathed a sigh of relief at this time and said with a smile: Grandpa Feng Dan is kind-hearted and will definitely live for another few hundred years!

Mr. Feng laughed out loud, You kid, you've been able to talk since you were a child.

My mother helps cook in the dining room for only four hours every day. She was fine before. Why is her heart and lungs suddenly damaged so badly? Mo Hua couldn't help but ask.

Mr. Feng said: I asked the cook in the dining room. Starting from this year, your mother's cooking time has been extended from four hours to six hours a day. As time goes by, the spiritual power is more likely to be exhausted. Coupled with overwork, she will naturally become tired. It’s more serious.”

Isn't the fire-preventing hairpin useless?

Are you talking about the hairpin your mother wore? Mr. Feng stroked his beard, nodded and explained:

That hairpin is naturally useful, but the fire-preventing hairpin is just an ordinary spiritual weapon. It is not a high-quality weapon, and its effectiveness is limited. But it's good to have this hairpin, otherwise your mother's condition will only be more serious, even if she is cured , there will also be residual problems with the heart and lungs.”

Mo Hua was a little lucky, but also worried. Then when he asked about the cost of the diagnosis, Mr. Feng said: The stewards from Shicai Shanlou came here, and they were very sorry about your mother's matter, so they will pay for all the elixirs. You There’s no need to worry.”

Mr. Feng quietly blinked at Mo Hua and whispered: If they have this intention, I won't be polite. Of course they use good medicinal materials to make elixirs. I will definitely cure your mother.

Mo Hua felt relieved and solemnly thanked Mr. Feng again, and then asked in a low voice: Can I go see my mother?

Mr. Feng nodded, Go ahead. Your mother just lay down after taking the elixir. Remember to keep your voice down.

The wing of Xinglin Hall was opened up and several beds were placed for patients to rest. Although they were simple and simple, they were clean and tidy and smelled of faint smoke.

When Mo Hua saw Liu Ruhua, Liu Ruhua was lying on a bed inside, sleeping quietly, breathing very lightly, and his face was pale and a little haggard.

Mo Hua moved a small stool and sat quietly aside, looking at Liu Ruhua's face.

Mo Hua remembered that when he was born, his mother was still young, gentle and beautiful, and had a beautiful smile.

Ten years have passed before I knew it.

For monks with relatively long lifespans, ten years is actually nothing. Some monks' appearance will not even change at all in ten years.

But Mo Hua's mother has become a little haggard, and there are even a few gray hairs on her temples.

I thought about myself growing up slowly, and my parents slowly getting older without knowing it. When I suddenly realized that they were no longer the same as they remembered.

Mo Hua felt sad and his eyes were a little hazy.

Liu Ruhua didn't know how long she slept. When she woke up, she found Mo Hua lying next to her with red eyes. She felt comforted and a little distressed in her heart.

Liu Ruhua touched Mo Hua's head, Why are you here? Shouldn't you be practicing in the sect?

Mo Hua looked at her silently. Liu Ruhua was a little embarrassed and said, Mom is fine, you don't need to worry.

Mr. Feng said that you have to help cook in the dining room for six hours every day.

Six hours is nothing. Look at the uncles and aunts in your neighborhood. The errands they do are sometimes more difficult. Your father goes out to hunt monsters, and sometimes he doesn't even sleep for days and nights. Everyone is like this...

Mo Hua shook his head, Mother, you are not in good health, how can you be the same? Is it because the family lacks spiritual stones?

Liu Ruhua sighed slightly and said: There is no shortage of spirit stones at home, but aren't you going to learn the exercises soon? The middle-level and lower-level exercises should cost more than two hundred spirit stones. I want to save more. Some, I’ll let you choose a better one when the time comes.”

Mo Hua was slightly startled, I didn't even say anything about the exercises, mother, how do you know?

Liu Ruhua touched Mo Hua's head again, Silly boy, how could mother not know? You didn't tell me because you are sensible, but it's impossible for your parents not to have plans for you. Your parents are only monks in the Qi refining period, so you can't I want to give you the best, but within my ability, I still want to give you something better.”

Mo Hua's nose was a little sore, then he took out a storage bag and said:

Mom, I can earn it myself. I have already earned one hundred and eighty spiritual stones!

Liu Ruhua was surprised this time. She opened her mouth slightly and said after a while:

How do you earn so much...

Mo Hua was in a better mood, I'm helping people draw formations.

Is it still the Youyuanzhai on North Street?

yes.

Mo Hua said, then froze again, Mom, how do you know this?

Liu Ruhua smiled softly and said, Your father told me that when he saw you taking out so many spiritual stones that day, he suspected that someone was cheating you and had evil intentions, so he followed you to that business and asked the manager a few words. Then I found out that you were not deceived, but the manager was deceived by you. As a mother, I don’t even know when you had a brother...

Mo Hua opened his mouth wide. He felt that he had concealed everything, but in the end he concealed nothing. He didn't even know when his father followed him to the formation pavilion...

Liu Ruhua touched Mo Hua's face and said happily: When I was young, I saw you were small and thin, so I was worried that you would be bullied and worried that you would not be able to make a living in the future. I didn't expect that you are so young now. I can earn so many spiritual stones, so I feel relieved.

But you have to save these spirit stones for yourself. Don't think it's a lot now. When you reach a higher level in the future, or marry a Taoist companion or have children, you will spend a lot of spirit stones. Save them now. So as not to be stretched thin when the time comes.”

Mo Hua shook his head and said: Mom, I will definitely earn more spiritual stones in the future. You don't have to worry about this. The most important thing for you now is to take good care of your body. Don't worry about other things.

Liu Ruhua looked at Mo Hua gently and wanted to say something, but couldn't help coughing. Mo Hua stopped letting her talk and told her to have a good rest.

Thank you fellow Taoist Natsume Hiroshi for the reward~
