Myths and Dharma, starting from Erlang Shen

Chapter 453 Whispering, also coming
When Wei Yuanbo heard Qiao Qingyin's question, he was stunned. He had imagined many times the reaction of the second Qiao after seeing him. He had imagined worry, shock, sadness, but he never expected it to be this reaction.

"Speaking of which, Dad, are you considered dead now? Should I wear mourning for you?"

Qiao Qingyin asked as she looked at Wei Yuanbo, whose body was transparent.

This question is very serious.

On the way, she asked Ji Ren, now the body of Weiyuan Bo has been buried in the ancestral land of the Qiao family.

If the soul was not here, according to the current status of the three of them and the status of Earl Weiyuan, he should have been buried with great ceremony, and the Emperor of Qi would have come to pay his respects in person.

Is this going to be a funeral?
"roll."

Wei Yuanbo's face immediately turned as black as the bottom of a pot, and he scolded angrily.

I shouldn't have used the small trumpet in the first place.

"Tell the truth. As the saying goes, humans and ghosts have different paths. Dad, if you are with my mother in your current state, will it cause any harm to her?" Qiao Qingyin was scolded, but she didn't care and asked curiously.

The book says that humans and ghosts have different paths. If ordinary mortals get too close to ghosts, their yang energy will be sucked away and their lifespan will be shortened.

"No, my uncle's ghost is not an ordinary ghost. It won't be a problem for him to be with my aunt in the past." Ji Ren explained on the side.

If he doesn't speak up, Qiao Qingyin will probably have to kneel in the ancestral hall again tonight.

"Is that so?" Qiao Qingyin nodded.

"If not, what do you want to do? Give your father a grand funeral?" Wei Yuanbo looked at Qiao Qingyin and said.

He wanted to restrain himself, after all, they were his relatives.

And I am about to embark on the path to immortality. I don’t know how many years it will be before we meet again.

But looking at Qiao Qingyin like this, I can’t control myself.

They are obviously biological children, so how come she has a personality that is almost completely opposite to Qingyu's?
"No way?" Qiao Qingyin immediately defended herself guiltily, Am I not just curious?

Dad is dead but not completely dead.

He had never dared to imagine such a situation before.

"Well, the children have finally come back. They will embark on the path to immortality in the future. We don't know how many years they will be separated from us. Why are you scaring them now?" Mrs. Qiao interceded for Qiao Qingyin.

Only then did Weiyuan Bo let Qiao Qingyin go.

Qiao Qingyin immediately showed a sly smile on her face, and she hugged Mrs. Qiao's arm affectionately and said, "Mother still loves me."

"You are a piece of flesh and blood that fell from my body. How can I not love you? But you all have grown up, and you are all going to take off and leave me. Qingyu went to Jiangnan before, and I couldn't see her once a year. I finally waited for Qingyu to come back, thinking that Qingyu and Ren'er would get married, so that I would have children and grandchildren to take care of me. But at this moment, the immortal road appears, and I don't know how many years you will be gone." Mrs. Qiao said to her two daughters.

"Mom, my daughter is unfilial."

Qiao Qingyu and Qiao Qingyin looked sad, and one of them hugged Mrs. Qiao's arm and said.

"Don't worry, aunt. I'm still here. And Qingyu and Qingyin are doing this for your own good. If the two of them achieve something, not only will it be a great honor for you, but it will also bring you good luck." Ji Ren said from the side.

"I gave birth to them because I just wanted them to live a smooth and peaceful life, and I didn't ask for their protection. You said you were the same, you just let them go like this. You know how dangerous the immortal road is, and you are not allowed to go up yet." Mrs. Qiao said, looking at Ji Ren with a reproachful look on her face.

"I want to, too. But in the great world competition, Qingyu and Qingyin are slow now, really slow. They should not be trapped in the mortal world, they have a bigger and broader stage. I believe they can win. If there is really an accident, then they can go to the underworld." Ji Ren said.

"Nonsense, how can you just go to the underworld if you want to?" Mrs. Qiao was relieved when she heard Ji Ren's words. She glanced at Ji Ren with a look of reproach, then looked at her two daughters and said, "Look, you don't want such a destination, but insist on going to the heavenly road, which is full of dangers and life and death is unpredictable."

"Mom, Ji Ren is my sister's fiancé, not mine." Qiao Qingyin listened to Ji Ren's words. Although she was moved in her heart, she made excuses.

"Really don't want it? Then I won't give you any." After listening to Qiao Qingyin's words, before Mrs. Qiao could speak, Qiao Qingyu looked at Qiao Qingyin and said.

"Sister, you bully me too!" When talking about her lifelong event, Qiao Qingyin's face flushed, and her earlobes as crystal white as jade were all red.

"Otherwise, why is she your sister?" Qiao Qingyu said with a smile.

Qiao Qingyin was even more shy and her face turned red.

Although he had known this for a long time, when he saw this scene, Wei Yuanbo, who had just disliked Qiao Qingyin, felt a little sad. Both cabbages were about to be eaten, even though they were rotten in his own pot.

"Mom doesn't have any abilities, and your dad hasn't achieved anything either. When you were young, I always hoped that you could achieve something, stand out, and become successful. But now, I think you are too successful, and I don't know if mom can wait for you to come back." Mrs. Qiao looked at her two daughters worriedly.

As a mother, she really didn't want her two daughters to go on the life-threatening journey to immortality.

I just want them to be safe.

And with Ji Ren around, they can obtain the secrets and stay safe even if they don’t have to ascend to immortality.

Furthermore, the road to immortality is long, and she has been constantly complimenting Master Huanglong these days, and has learned a lot about the inside story of the road to immortality.

The shortest period may be three to five years, the longest may be ten to twenty years.

If something unexpected happens, it may take longer.

Her cultivation level is not high, and her lifespan is no different from that of an ordinary mortal. If something unexpected happens, she doesn't know if she can wait for them to come back.

"That's possible. I've asked Uncle Huanglong, and he's already prepared a secret of immortality and some supplementary elixirs for my aunt. It may not necessarily help her become an immortal, but living for two to three hundred years shouldn't be a problem." Ji Ren said.

Just like the monk Jinchi in Guanyin Temple in Journey to the West, although he was just a mortal, he could live to be three hundred years old because of taking drugs.

"Can it be so long?" Mrs. Qiao asked in surprise.

"Sure. Don't worry, auntie. Qingyu and Qingyin will definitely come back. When the time comes, Qingyu and the others will practice together to win a godhood for you. By then, let alone a hundred years, even a thousand or ten thousand years will be no problem." Ji Ren said.

If it were an ordinary time, Ji Ren would not dare to say such a big thing. After all, cultivating immortals requires talent, and there is a limit to prolonging life. But now it is time to confer gods, and that is different.

Being on the Conferred God List is a nightmare for the immortals of the Chan and Jie sects, but it is a blessing for ordinary people. Living for thousands or tens of thousands of years is no problem.

As long as a mortal has sufficient status, he can be included in the List of Gods even if he has no special abilities.

For example, Concubine Yang, one of King Zhou's three concubines, made no contribution at all in the entire Conferred Gods. The only thing she did was to secretly let King Zhou's two sons run away and then hanged herself.

In the end, he was still on the list of gods.

There are also people like Fei Zhong and You Hun who have no ability and can only spread slander, but they can also be included in the list of gods.

After all, whether one can be included in the list of gods depends on one's relationships and status during his lifetime.

If Ji Ren and the two Qiaos were strong enough, it would be a foregone conclusion that Madam Qiao would be deified after her death.

"Is it possible?" Mrs. Qiao asked in surprise.

“Okay.” Ji Ren said.

If one person attains enlightenment, all his chickens and dogs can also ascend to heaven.

"If I have a son like Ren'er, I will have no regrets in this life." Mrs. Qiao exclaimed happily when she heard this.

Qiao Qingyu/Qiao Qingyin: ???

Us?
Didn't we agree that we are the flesh that fell off your body?
Weiyuan Bo's expression was also subtle. Shouldn't this be his line?
Ji Ren chuckled and said nothing.

In the next few days, Ji Ren concentrated on practicing martial arts with Qiao Qingyu and Qiao Qingyin.

When the celestial phenomena became more and more intense and the path to immortality was about to be opened, Qiao Qingyu and Qiao Qingyin put aside their cultivation and stayed with their parents. They didn't know how long it would take them to come back, so they cherished these last moments together.

But for some reason, Ji Ren always felt that Qiao Qingyu and Qiao Qingyin seemed to be planning something recently, but he had no evidence.

Until one night, Ji Ren, who was practicing, sensed Qiao Qingyin's breath, and felt a little strange in his heart. If there was something to say, why couldn't she say it during the day? Why did she have to come to him so late at night?

Ji Ren opened his eyes and looked through, and saw Qiao Qingyin walking into the courtyard in a lake green dress. A thin belt outlined her slender waist that was too thin to be held in one hand. She had an ethereal aura, like a pure and flawless blue lotus.

What is even more noticeable is that Qiao Qingyin has a light makeup on her face.

Qiao Qingyin doesn't like to wear makeup because it takes away time for martial arts practice.

But tonight, she put on makeup specially, and her already beautiful face became even more beautiful.

Ji Ren was stunned for a moment.

The door opened gently and Qiao Qingyin walked in directly. She never knocked when entering Ji Ren's room.

After entering the room, before Ji Ren could speak, Qiao Qingyin closed the door again.

There were only two of them in the narrow room.

Ji Ren's eyes suddenly widened. It was dark, late at night, and they were alone...

Not sure if it was an illusion, but Ji Ren felt a faint fragrance lingering in the room, body odor?

Or did Qiao Qingyin take a shower when she came?

Ji Ren didn’t know, nor was he sure what Qiao Qingyin’s purpose was, but none of this mattered.

Now, unless the sky falls, what he believes is the truth.

The next moment, Ji Ren got out of bed, hugged Qiao Qingyin's slender waist, and lowered his head to take in Qiao Qingyin's fragrance.

Qiao Qingyin's body stiffened slightly, then became limp, and she responded somewhat awkwardly.

These days, she has thought a lot and has a deeper understanding of the dangers of the immortal road.

Although she believed in her luck, if something unexpected happened, she might not be able to come back.

But she had to go.

This is her only chance to catch up with or even surpass Ji Ren.

She has always been a person who never admits defeat, and with such an opportunity in front of her, there is no reason for her to give up.

But what if something happens?
That would be a complete loss, with everything lost.

So, here she comes.

At least no regrets.

To be honest, she was a little bit at a loss as to where to start at first. After all, it would be embarrassing for her to take the initiative in such matters, right?
I was thinking about giving him some medicine, but it seemed a bit outrageous to give him medicine for no reason.

But I didn’t expect that Ji Ren would take the initiative and get straight to the point.

In a daze, she felt like she was falling into the clouds, forgetting herself.

It seems more comfortable than I imagined.

Just when he was absorbed in the moment, Ji Ren suddenly stopped. Qiao Qingyin opened her eyes shyly, with a hint of curiosity. Why did he stop?
"Qingyu is coming this way." Ji Ren said to Qiao Qingyin.

Qiao Qingyin's eyes suddenly widened and she woke up. She looked around and found no place to hide. Finally, she rushed into Ji Ren's bed and hid carefully.

Ji Ren was stunned for a moment, then his eyes brightened up again when he looked at Qiao Qingyu outside.
