Chapter 2992
Xiao Hua thought about how he had visited the Cai Family before. Perhaps he had seen them before, so he didn't mind. However, when the two greeted Cai Haisong, he … suddenly realized!
Because the female cultivator called herself "Cai Mei," if he wasn't mistaken, she was the little girl who had brought him to the Cai Family at that time, "Mei 'er!"
Cai Haisong didn't care about this. After the two greeted each other, he ordered the door to the spirit tomb to open. Xiao Hua asked, "Are you that Mei 'er?"
"Big Brother Immortal …" Cai Mei was pleasantly surprised. She bowed again. "I didn't expect … that Big Brother would still remember Mei 'er!"
"Alas …" Xiao Hua sighed. He looked at the somewhat plump woman in front of him. If she hadn't cultivated to the third layer of Qi Refining, and if she hadn't been born into a cultivation family, she would've already become one of the most plump people in the secular world.
That childish, crisp voice, that little girl who had walked out from behind the stone sculpture in the distance, that thin and weak figure, and that pair of big, black eyes — they had all been eaten by dogs!
Although those big eyes still had some shadows of the past when he looked at them carefully, it was just that … those originally clear and pure eyes had now been polluted by the secular world. They were full of flattery and expectation, making Xiao Hua feel inexplicably disappointed.
"Your grandfather …" Although Xiao Hua knew the ending, he still couldn't help but want to ask the unworldly expert who wasn't an unworldly expert.
"Thank you, Big Brother Immortal, for still remembering Grandfather!"
Cai Mei's face was mournful. "Although Grandfather took Big Brother's elixir, his body was already empty. He passed away twenty years ago!"
"En, everyone has to die in this life. Your grandfather was able to do so much for Lu Yang, so he can already rest in peace!"
Xiao Hua nodded. Then, he saw that the male cultivator had already opened the black door and was about to leave. However, he still asked casually, "Mei 'er, are you doing well in the Cai Family?"
"Very well!"
Cai Mei was a bit hesitant. She timidly glanced at Cai Haisong and said, "But if Big Brother Immortal and the Family Head are old friends, can you let me change jobs with my husband?"
"Oh?" Xiao Hua was stunned, but he immediately smiled and said, "I will ask Senior Cai at this time!"
"Thank you, Big Brother Immortal!
This concubine will lead the way for Gege! ~ "Cai Mei smiled and hurriedly accompanied Xiao Hua into the tomb.
But Xiao Hua waved his hand and said, "No need. Mei-er, you and your husband wait outside the tomb!"
"Yes, this concubine understands!" Cai Mei was very clever. She lowered her head and stayed where she was.
Seeing Xiao Hua talking to Cai Mei, how could Cai Haisong ignore it?
He had already asked Cai Hesong and the others who were in charge of the manor's affairs.
After entering the tomb, Cai Haisong hurriedly told him about Cai Mei. After hearing Cai Haisong's detailed explanation, Xiao Hua couldn't help but shake his head and sigh. "There is immortal fate in this world, but not everyone who obtains immortal fate … Many can become immortals!
Humans were humans, and immortals were immortals. Why must they allow those who could not become immortals to become immortals?
This is the Cai Family's business. I have no right to interfere! "
It was no wonder that Xiao Hua sighed. That day, Xiao Hua gave Mei-er a few spiritual pills and entrusted her to the Cai Family. The Cai Family was also honest and didn't covet those spiritual pills. Moreover, they even took Mei-er into the Cai Family and changed her name to Cai Mei.
However, although Cai Mei was handsome, her cultivation aptitude was really limited. After dozens of years, she only cultivated to the third layer of Qi Refining!
This … wasn't the most important thing. The most important thing was that Cai Mei's character wasn't good. She was especially vain, or perhaps she didn't come from a good family. When she entered the Cai Family, she felt an indescribable inferiority from the bottom of her heart.
But what could a female cultivator do in front of these natural shortcomings?
Her blind grandfather couldn't help her at all. After Cai Mei became an adult, she used her beauty to exchange for a position in the Cai Family!
The reason why Cai Mei and her husband were sent to guard the tomb was because they were jealous of each other's affection. Originally, they were going to be expelled from the Cai Family, but this Cai Mei was also obedient. She hurriedly admitted her crime and chose to marry her current husband. This was the last chance to stay in the Cai Family.
This … was what Xiao Hua sighed about. Not every beautiful and cute little girl would grow up to be a pretty beauty. There was also a possibility that she would grow up to be a fat aunt!
And the possibility was very high!!
However, when everyone filed in and passed through the black door, they saw many neatly repaired small tombs. In front of each tomb, there were a few faint, extremely elegant Xiaohua flowers. Moreover, in front of each tomb, there was a willow branch as thick as a little finger placed on top of the tombs. Looking at the creases under the branches, it was obvious that they were recently broken.
"Good, Zongbao and Xiao Hua understand!"
Cai Haisong had just stepped into the tomb when he glanced at the tombs and explained, "Our Cai Family of Luyang is only a cultivation family. We are inferior to ordinary cultivation families. Even though there is a public memorial hall for the ancestors, not all of the deceased can be preserved.
Therefore, almost all of the deceased are buried in the ground, just like the people of the secular world. Perhaps there is a hint of … poverty! "
Xiao Hua knew that Li Zongbao wouldn't answer, so he continued, "Earth to earth, dust to dust. Ordinary people talk about being buried in peace. This is the principle. The Cai Family's actions are also normal!
It can't be considered as poverty!! "
After Cai Haisong finished his explanation, he looked at the tombs again. As far as his eyes could see, all of the tombs were as clean as before. He knew clearly that the Communication Talisman had just been sent out. It was impossible for Cai Mei and her husband to have made such preparations in advance. This could only mean that Cai Mei and her husband were usually very meticulous.
Cai Haisong sighed, "A pitiful person must have a detestable side. However, if a prodigal son returns to his old ways, I won't exchange him for a top-grade spirit stone!"
"Senior's words are extremely true!"
Xiao Hua nodded, "The Heavenly Dao is merciful. It will always leave a glimmer of hope in a desperate situation. As long as you have the heart, you will always be able to find a way to survive!"
"Yes …" Cai Haisong was startled. Xiao Hua's words were very grand. Moreover, he didn't dare to underestimate him. After all, this was the understanding of a Golden Core cultivator. However, if he was asked to think deeper, he couldn't.
Just as Cai Haisong was frowning in thought, everyone had already arrived at a slightly remote corner under Cai Hesong's lead. A small drum that was no different from the one they had seen before appeared before everyone's eyes.
"Alas, no matter how much power and wealth one had when they were alive, when it comes to birth, old age, sickness, and death, everything is just fleeting clouds!
Life can't be brought, death can't be taken away. If you can't build a tomb in the hearts of others, then you can only build a tomb in the wilderness.
In this vast world, I'm afraid that there is only a few feet of space that belongs to me! "
When Xiao Hua saw this small tomb, he immediately thought of Cai Zhuoxia's voice and smile from before, as well as the various experiences of the two people. He couldn't help but ponder in his heart.
Looking at Li Zongbao, he was also biting his lips. His body couldn't help but surge with mana. His Taoist robe fluttered in the wind, and even his clenched hands were trembling.
After thinking about it for decades, now that the mystery was about to be revealed, even someone as strong as Li Zongbao couldn't help but feel agitated in his heart.
"It's better … better to let Cai Quan do it ~" Cai Haisong looked at the clean tomb. The tombstone in front of the tomb was still engraved with the words "The Tomb of Beloved Daughter Zhuoxia". He couldn't help but feel a little sad. He knew that although he and the others were Foundation Establishment cultivators, if they wanted to take out Cai Zhuoxia's bluestone coffin intact, they had to let Cai Quan and the others, who were guarding the tomb, do it.
"No need, junior will try!"
Xiao Hua waved his hand, stopping Cai Hesong's transmission. Then, without waiting for Fairy Hong Xia and the others to ask more, he made a gesture and his whole body flashed with a yellow brilliance and disappeared into the ground!
"Five Elements Escape Technique?"
When Xiao Hua escaped from Cai Hongfeng's hands, he used the Earth Escape Talisman in front of Cai Haisong. How could Cai Haisong not be familiar with it? However, the Earth Escape Technique, which was a consummate skill for escaping before, was now nothing in the hands of Xiao Hua.
Just a thought flashed through Cai Haisong's mind, and he felt the ground under his feet suddenly shake. Then, he saw the small tomb quickly split open, like a flower blooming. All the soil was cut off from the tomb, and a bluestone coffin covered with dark green soil slowly rose from the ground!
When Xiao Hua's figure appeared from under the bluestone coffin, Cai Haisong couldn't help but groan, "This guy's strength … is too great!"
The bluestone coffin was not too heavy, but it couldn't be buried deep. Even if Cai Haisong used his mana, he wouldn't be able to take out the coffin so easily.
Xiao Hua flew to the side of the deep pit and carefully placed the bluestone coffin on the ground.
However, on this bluestone coffin, the yellow talisman stuck to it had long decayed, leaving only a trace of yellow paper stuck to the black soil. When Divine Thought swept over it, there was no fluctuation of mana.
Seeing this, Xiao Hua knew in his heart that if the coffin was Cai Zhuoxia's corpse, it must be white bones now.
Immediately, Xiao Hua looked at it again, stretched out his hand, grabbed the fist-sized nail on the coffin, and pulled it out easily. More than a foot long, eight fist-sized nails were easily pulled out by him. Just when he reached out to open the coffin, Li Zongbao's voice came, "Junior Brother Xiao, let me do it personally!"
"Okay!" Xiao Hua replied and immediately retracted his hand, standing at the side and looking at Li Zongbao.
Li Zongbao took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and seemed to be calming himself down. Then, he took two steps forward, bent down, and touched the bluestone coffin with both hands. The mana in his body surged slightly, and two muffled sounds were heard. It was the sound of the coffin hitting each other, and the bluestone coffin was opened a crack!
"Oh?"
The mountain peak blew past, and from the crack of the coffin, there was no stench. Xiao Hua's eyes lit up, and like everyone else, he was ecstatic!
"What … what is going on???"
However, when Li Zongbao opened the coffin lid and saw everything inside, he couldn't help but be surprised!
"Ah?"
Hearing Li Zongbao's shock, Fairy Hong Xia and the others also took a step forward and took a look. They couldn't help but exclaim in shock!
