Chapter 138 Ma Gui's Name Qiu Yu looked at the window where Chen Huaian left, sat on the chair where Chen Huaian had sat before, and murmured, "I hope he can save you. I can feel that he is very strong." Suddenly, he found a note under a bottle of medicine on the table nearby. "When Ma Gui comes back, please give him this bottle of medicine. It will relieve his pain." Qiu Yu looked at the note, and then looked at the bottle of medicine. The small bottle that looked like a jade bottle stood there. Qiu Yu looked at it for a long time without saying a word. …… Chen Huaian was on his way back, thinking about how to save the Soul-Purifying Bird, but after thinking for a long time, he found that it was almost impossible. "Using life essence to save others, I guess very few people would do this." Chen Huaian said in his heart as he walked in the dark night and soon returned to Ma Gui's family's courtyard. Along the way, he was thinking about another question: why Ma Gui, the soul-purifying bird, would become Granny Rong's son. Chen Huaian returned to the house, puzzled.
"Forget it. Ma Gui's wish is to let Granny Rong live longer. I can still do that." In this way, Chen Huaian lived here for more than a month. During this period, Grandma Rong's vital signs became weaker and weaker. If Chen Huaian had not secretly treated her, she would have passed away half a month ago. "No, it doesn't look like this at all. Can't I fold it out?" Granny Rong talked to herself, and Chen Huaian listened quietly beside her. Ma Gui was not there, and Chen Huaian knew where he had gone, but it was no use. Chen Huaian estimated that Granny Rong would die in these three days. In the evening, Ma Gui came back, with his head down and a depressed look on his face. Seeing this, Chen Huaian patted his shoulder gently and said, "Grandma Rong may be gone in the next few days. You should stay at home and spend more time with her." When Ma Gui heard Chen Huaian's words, he raised his head with bloodshot eyes. "I……" Chen Huaian patted his shoulders twice again, said nothing, and walked away quietly. …… Two days later, Granny Rong passed away. In her arms was a lifelike paper bird. Her face was full of smiles, and she seemed to have left without any worries. Ma Gui cried bitterly while holding Grandma Rong's body. Chen Huaian spent money to buy a high-quality coffin for Grandma Rong and buried her. Ma Gui knelt in front of Granny Rong's grave, wearing mourning clothes, his eyes red. Chen Huaian walked up to him and said, "I want to know why a bird that is a soul-purifying bird would become Granny Rong's son." Ma Gui was very shocked. He didn't know when Chen Huaian knew about it, but it didn't matter now. His closest person was dead, and he had no ties in this world. Identity was no longer important to him. "Do you mind talking about it?" Chen Huaian asked. Ma Gui raised his head, looked up at the sky, and slowly closed his eyes... "That happened fifteen years ago. I was injured at the time, and by chance, I came to my mother's home." "They saved me, and I stayed in my mother's home." "My mother had another child at that time. His name was Ma Chengxiao." Chen Huaian listened to Ma Gui's words without saying anything. He knew that there must be a story behind this name change.
"They are very happy. Granny Rong loves origami. She likes to fold horses and Ma Chengxiao. They are always origami. They have good skills and the horses they fold are lifelike, as if they were alive." "Their family was very poor at the time. Their mother raised some chickens and ducks to make ends meet, but they lived a happy life and always had a happy smile on their faces." "Until one day, a few old ladies came to my mother's house as guests, pointing and commenting on the furniture in the house with disgust in their eyes." "In fact, they came here to show off their wealth, talking about all kinds of silks and satins, but they didn't mean it. Later, Ma Chengxiao gradually grew up, and this family also underwent some changes." "Ma Chengxiao comes back less and less often, and my mother smiles less and less. She still likes origami, but this time, she is alone." "But, Ma Chengxiao has grown up, and he doesn't like origami anymore..." One day, Ma Chengxiao happily ran back home and told his mother, "I heard there is a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum in the east. I will go pick it. Then we will have no worries about food and drink!" "Ma Chengxiao said to his mother happily, and then he left with a smile on his face, as if he was looking forward to a better life in the future." "Mother stretched out her hand, as if she wanted to call Ma Chengxiao back, but in the end she couldn't say it. She retracted her hand and looked at Ma Chengxiao with worried eyes as he left." "After Ma Chengxiao left, mother was looking forward to his return all the time, but one day, two days, three days... half a month, a month, he didn't come back. Mother missed him so much that she became sick. I couldn't bear to see her getting thinner and thinner, so I flew away." "I searched for a long time and finally found him in a ravine. He was dead, hacked to death by someone who wanted his money. However, his money was still firmly in his arms. "I pulled the banknotes out with my mouth, and they flew into the air. The banknotes filled the sky like ghost paper..." "Later, I communicated with all things and found out why those people didn't take Ma Chengxiao's money after they killed him. It was because of the big insect. The big insect scared them away, so they didn't take his money." "I thought of the 612 paper horses in my mother's box, and I possessed Ma Chengxiao. The 612 was June 12, which was Ma Chengxiao's birthday..." "Cough cough..." Ma Gui coughed up blood. "Are you OK?" "It's okay. My time is almost up. If it weren't for... ahem... mom, I wouldn't have been able to... hold on for so long." Upon seeing this, Chen Huaian supplied spiritual energy to Ma Gui, and his complexion immediately became a little better, but still extremely pale. Ma Gui looked at Chen Huaian, feeling his tremendous power, and was shocked, but also very happy. He knew why his mother had lived so long, and he also knew where the medicine that Qiu Yu suddenly gave him came from. "Thank you, Chen Huaian." "You're welcome. I just did what I wanted to do. I always do things according to my heart." "That's great." He said, looking up at the sky. At this moment, it was raining drop by drop from the sky. The raindrops fell on his face, and he couldn't tell whether they were tears or rain. "Let me continue." "Well, but I want to ask you a question first. Why did you leave Penglai? Was it because of the red fog?" Ma Gui smiled bitterly after hearing what Chen Huaian said, "Well, because the evil demon under Penglai Fairy Island released a red mist, I would die if I touched it. My injury was also caused at that time. It has been many years and has never healed." "Do you know who that evil demon is?" Chen Huaian asked. The man under Penglai Fairy Island was an extremely terrifying enemy, and he needed to know information about that man. "His name is Jue Jiuyou. He is very powerful. In the last era, he was an absolute demon." "I don't know if you will believe this, but he and I are from the same era, but I am far inferior to him, and my abilities are not in combat. I am a bird born for the heavens and the earth, and I am not bound by any rules. But I was entrusted by someone to stay there."
"Who entrusted you with this task?" Chen Huaian asked anxiously, with a rare look of anxiety on his face. "I can't tell you his name, but I can tell you that he is the one who sealed Jue Jiuyou. He is very powerful, but I don't know where he went. It's as if he disappeared suddenly." "He told me that one day, a man would set foot on Penglai. That man's name was Chen Huai'an." "What!?" Chen Huaian looked at Ma Gui in disbelief, but at this time, there was no need for Ma Gui to lie to him. Ma Gui smiled and said, "He still likes to solve riddles. I didn't expect to meet you here. It seems like he has figured out everything." "He said, please give him a mental method at that time, but I left Penglai and thought that this life was hopeless. I didn't expect that fate would bring us together here." As Ma Gui spoke, a spot of light flew out from between his eyebrows and landed on the center of Chen Huaian's eyebrows. Chen Huaian's face was filled with shock. He didn't know when he had ever been so shocked. Ma Gui ignored his shock and asked, "Can I continue now?" "Ah." "Later, I came back in place of Ma Chengxiao and changed my name to Ma Gui." "Mother asked me why I changed my name, and I said, I'm back and I want to stay with you forever. All the glory and wealth have nothing to do with me anymore." "Afterwards, I lived with my mother until I met you." "Cough cough..." "Don't say anything. I will treat you." Chen Huaian was about to start treatment, but his hand was grabbed by Ma Gui. "Chen, Brother Chen, no, no, I'm already dying, no... no, it's a waste of energy." "Please, please, bury Ma Chengxiao." "In this life, I am able to accompany my mother at this moment, and I can... I can meet you. I, I am already very satisfied." As he spoke, his hands dropped and the rain fell heavier and heavier. A burst of white light flowed out from Ma Gui's body, slowly descended, and turned into a blue bird. Next to it, there was a paper bird placed in a small wooden shed. It was the last thing in Granny Rong's arms, and that paper bird was exactly the same as the Soul-Purifying Bird. Its body was beside Grandma Rong's grave. The heavy rain was still falling. Chen Huaian's clothes had already been soaked, but he did not leave. "Have a nice journey..." Chen Huaian looked at Ma Chengxiao's body beside him and carried his body away. When Chen Huaian left, a beam of light flew out of his body and landed next to the Soul Purifying Bird. "Poor little fellow, you have helped me so much, please don't die. I still need you in that battle." …… Later, three more graves appeared here, three graves that no one cared about... (End of this chapter)
