Yama's Sorrow, Yama's Sorrow.
If Yama wanted someone to die at midnight, he could keep them alive until dawn.
Legend had it that a single pill of Yama's Sorrow could bring the dead back to life. It had the miraculous effect of reviving the dead.
Although Wu Hui also felt that this was an exaggeration, he was now like a drowning man desperately trying to grasp at the last straw. Therefore, he roughly explained the Wu family's current predicament at the dinner table.
There was nothing shameful about this. As long as Chen Xi could let Elder Wu live for two more years and hold on until Wu Ying successfully crossed the threshold, then the Wu family would be able to maintain their current status.
Once Chen Xi agreed, then this favor would really be a life-saving grace for the Wu family.
Wu Hui was very smart, so he didn't mention anything about remuneration from beginning to end. Instead, he kept pleading very sincerely, "Mr. Chen, please save my grandfather … The Wu family will always remember this great kindness in their hearts!"
It was the New Year, and the family could still encounter this kind of thing.
Chen Xi pondered for a moment, then frowned and asked, "How old is your grandfather today?"
"Eighty-four."
"He doesn't have any serious illness, right?"
"Only old illnesses like high blood pressure and gout. It's probably because he injured his roots on the battlefield. The old man's old, and his body can't take it anymore. Recently, his mental state has been getting worse and worse, and he doesn't even have the energy to get out of bed, so …"
Wu Hui didn't finish his words.
However, the meaning behind his words was very simple. Although the old man wasn't seriously ill, he was nearing the end of his life.
Death was an illness that couldn't be cured. After all, a person's life was limited.
When a person faced a natural death, they would always be aware of it beforehand.
Therefore, many old people would call their children home before they died, and let their children wash and change their clothes for them. After taking one last look at their children and grandchildren, they would close their eyes and pass away peacefully and naturally as if they were asleep.
They had never suffered the torture of illness before, and they would pass away peacefully in their sleep.
Therefore, to the people of Hua Xia, dying of old age was a blessing, a great blessing.
After all, Elder Wu was an old man who had walked through the war years. He had experienced ups and downs and enjoyed the prosperity of the world.
Now that he was nearing the end of his life, it should have been a joyous occasion.
Unfortunately, this was not the right time.
If the old man passed away at such a critical moment, it would undoubtedly be a huge blow to the Wu Family.
It was a nightmare!
Just a little more …
Once the old man passed away, how could Wu Ying advance further?
What Hua Xia did not lack the least was talent. There were plenty of competitors who had the same qualifications and abilities as Wu Ying, and some were even older than him.
As the saying goes, the tea cools down when the person is gone.
These things were top secret. The fact that Wu Hui was willing to reveal the Old Master's condition in front of everyone meant that he saw Chen Xi as his last hope.
Qin Yongwang and Wang Chunju glanced at each other before they started to eat. This was a very important matter, so the moment Wu Hui finished speaking, Qin Yongwang glanced at Wang Chunju and started to eat silently.
Qin Yongyan was dressed in white. Qin Ruoying didn't understand the situation, and Qin Xueqing was completely uninterested.
Everyone was waiting for Chen Xi's answer.
The only one who could laugh at such a time was obviously the little girl.
She picked up her chopsticks, clumsily picked up a piece of fatty meat, and handed it to Chen Xi. Then, she said seriously, "Papa! I'll treat you to it! "
The little girl didn't eat fatty meat because she felt that it was too stuffy, so she hated fatty meat very much.
She didn't eat it, but she could give it to Papa!
The little brat had learned how to be naughty.
Chen Xi turned to look at her, reached out and rubbed her head. Then, he opened his mouth and swallowed the fatty meat on her chopsticks.
After seeing Chen Xi swallow the fatty meat, the little girl clapped her hands and giggled, "Papa is so awesome!"
Her clear childish voice sounded in the private room, which was particularly ear-piercing.
Chen Xi glanced at Wu Hui thoughtfully, but saw that there was no change on his face, which made Chen Xi think more highly of him.
Therefore, he didn't beat around the bush. After motioning the little girl to be quiet, Chen Xi turned to look at Wu Hui and asked very calmly, "Mr. Wu, I don't know if you have heard of the saying, 'Life and death are predestined, and can't be changed …'"
Hearing this, Wu Hui's face changed greatly.
In a moment of excitement, he even accidentally knocked over the wine glass on the table.
Life and death are predestined, and can't be changed.
This sentence was said by Zhuge Liang when Wei Yan stepped on his life lamp. How could Wu Hui not know?
Zhuge Liang went out of Mount Qi six times and exhausted his efforts. Finally, he set up the Seven-Star Life-Extending Lamp in Wuzhang Plain in an attempt to change his fate. However, because Wei Yan accidentally knocked over his life lamp, all his efforts were wasted, and he died with regret.
The reason why Sima Yi had the last laugh was not because he was stronger than Zhuge Liang, but because he had lived for a long time. He dragged Zhuge Liang to death and exhausted three generations of the Wei Kingdom's monarchs.
All the enemies who could compete with him were dead. Naturally, the Sima family could achieve great things.
In terms of survival ability, Sima Yi was the best in the world.
Old Master Wu was not Sima Yi, but Zhuge Liang, so …
Wu Hui stood in place and couldn't help but clench his fists.
In the end, he was still a little unwilling, so he asked in a slightly trembling voice, "Mr. Chen, you really don't have a way? One year, grandpa only needs one year … "
Chen Xi shook his head slightly, then took out three Energy Pills from his bag and put them on the round table.
After slowly turning the Energy Pills in front of Wu Hui, Chen Xi said calmly, "This is the legendary Yama's Chou. In fact, you should know that the jianghu's rumors can't be trusted …"
"After all, this medicine is not the Life Fruit of the Grand Deity Zhen Yuan. It can cure diseases, but it can't change fate. You can take it back and let the old man try it. It should improve his mental state …"
"But I still say the same thing, life and death are predestined, and can't be changed …"
"Young Master Wu, I'm very sorry."
Wu Hui stared at the three pills in front of him in a daze.
This was the Yama's Chou he had been dreaming of, but Chen Xi's words completely extinguished the hope in his heart.
After spitting out a mouthful of turbid air, Wu Hui used a tissue to carefully wrap up the three pills. Then, he solemnly bowed to Chen Xi and said, "Thank you, Mr. Chen."
After that, he turned and left the room without even saying goodbye to Qin Yongwang.
Perhaps it was because they empathized with Wu Hui's feelings, so the atmosphere in the room became a little strange.
After Wu Hui left, Qin Ruoying looked at Chen Xi thoughtfully, then asked in a low voice, "You really don't have a way?"
Hearing that, Chen Xi smiled and shook his head, not answering her question.
Zhuge Liang wasn't the only one who knew how to use the Seven Star Life-prolonging Lamp. Zhuge Liang failed, but another person succeeded.
That person was Liu Bowen.
Zhuge Liang divided the world, Liu Bowen unified the country.
Liu Bowen was the number one strategist of the Great Ming Dynasty. He followed Zhu Yuanzhang to wipe out the warlords and expel the Tatars.
After many years of fighting, he realized that his life was coming to an end, so he used the Seven Star Life-prolonging Lamp to extend his life by twelve years. Only then was he able to help Zhu Yuanzhang unify the world and recover the Han people's country.
To put it bluntly, it wasn't that Chen Xi didn't have a way, but that he didn't want to.
There were too many implications, and it couldn't be explained in a few words.
The title of Yama's Chou was made by Ning Zhongguo, so today, it was up to him to personally destroy this title.
