C345 Comforting Meng Zong
C345 Comforting Meng Zong
As the Great Senior Brother had once been, ever since the last incident with the Immortal Dao Mountain and the self-detonation of her master, Elder Han Zhentie, he had received an enormous blow and had always been in seclusion in her cave abode. Lei Yang had sought him out multiple times and always refused him entry, causing him to seem like an invisible person that no one in the sect paid attention to, which made him ignored by everyone.
Back then, when Lei Yang entered the sect, he had a good impression of the Great Senior Brother, and their relationship was even better after that. Now that the Great Senior Brother had suffered such a blow, Lei Yang naturally had to think of a way to console him.
But in the past, Lei Yang did not know many things, so he could not open the Great Senior Brother's cave, and could not open the knot in the Great Senior Brother's heart. But now, he obtained this information from Qin Shi, he believed that it would definitely be effective this time around.
Now that he had not visited the cave for a long time, there were already many disciples starting to move in the area outside of the cave. However, when they saw Lei Yang from afar, they immediately scattered in disarray, obviously knowing that the misunderstanding had been resolved, but Lei Yang's notoriety had long since left the cave, so it was difficult for them to dispel the effect.
Facing all of this, Lei Yang could only shake his head and smile gently, and quickly arrived in front of Meng Zong's cave.
However, even after Lei Yang had knocked on the cave's door for half a day, he still did not receive any response from Meng Zong. However, Lei Yang was not surprised, because this was the result that he expected.
However, Lei Yang was very confident, the Great Senior Brother was inside, he was just not willing to see him, not willing to meet anyone. This time, he came prepared, and after a moment of silence, Lei Yang said loudly outside the cave, "Great Senior Brother Meng Zong, I know you are inside, and I know that you will definitely be able to hear my words. Open the cave door, I have good news to tell you!"
However, even after half a day, there was still no reaction from the big door of the cave, thus Lei Yang decided to make a huge decision.
He sighed, "Sigh, I originally thought that Great Elder would still have a chance, but now it seems that his disciple had fallen so easily. It seems like he won't even have a single chance left!"
"Forget it, I'm leaving!" After saying that, Lei Yang turned and walked away. At this time, he heard the door of the cave opening behind him, and even though there was no sound coming from the cave, Lei Yang was instantly overjoyed, and stepped into the cave.
The moment he stepped into the cave, Lei Yang's heart seemed to have been fiercely stabbed. The entire cave was already filled with dust, and spiderwebs hung on the ceiling and corners, it seemed as if no one had lived inside for a long time.
At this time, the Great Senior Brother, Meng Zong was sitting in the bedroom in the innermost room of the cave with her back facing the cave. It was very obvious that ever since Immortal Dao Mountain had returned and entered this cave, he had sat there without moving an inch. She sat there for an entire few months and one could imagine just how great of a blow it had been to him for him to leave.
"Great Senior Brother!" At this moment, as Lei Yang looked at the skinny Meng Zong's back, his voice choked with sobs. He raised his hands and released a gentle force, sending all the dust out of the cave and slowly walked towards Meng Zong. For a moment, his heart ached so much that he was unable to speak.
Then, Meng Zong turned around, stood up and bowed to Lei Yang: "Disciple greets Patrol Elder!" Perhaps it was because he had been sitting cross-legged for so long that he almost lost his balance and fell to the ground.
Only now did Lei Yang clearly see Meng Zong's face. His eyes were empty, as if he had lost his soul, and his entire person had become thinner by a few folds. It was obvious that he had not cultivated for the past few months.
Seeing that he was so weak that he almost fell to the ground, Su Yun immediately rushed up the mountain to support him. He took out a Spirit Boosting Pill and fed it to Su Yun, then said, "Great Senior Brother, you don't have to be like this. Although I have advanced to an elder, in my heart, you are still my great Senior Brother, my eternal great Senior Brother, come and sit down!"
Meng Zong looked at Lei Yang, and finally revealed a smile for the first time in months. Then, from the bottom of his heart, he said emotionally, "Thank you!"
After consuming the Spirit Boosting Pill, Meng Zong's entire spirit seemed to have recovered a lot. Only now did he ask: "You said just now that Master still has a chance, what do you mean, can you explain it more clearly?"
"Alright!" Lei Yang nodded and answered before describing what Qin Shi had said to him.
"What!?" You said that Master still has a strand of soul which was sealed inside of the Soul Suppressing Orb? " After Meng Zong heard of this news, it was like a pile of dried up firewood, which suddenly lit up. In that moment, a blazing fire ignited in his eyes, an indescribable excitement.
"Yes!" Lei Yang nodded.
"In that case, does that Nirvana Patriarch have a way to resurrect him?" Meng Zong's eyes flashed, and quickly replied.
"Mm, I'm afraid that won't do!" Lei Yang was afraid that it would affect Meng Zong again, so when he said those words, Meng Zong's gaze immediately dimmed, as if the passion that was just ignited had been mercilessly poured over him.
"Great Senior Brother, but it's not impossible. Qin Shi said that there's still a way, and even though the possibility of it happening is very slim, it's the hope of an elder!" Lei Yang hurriedly said.
"Oh, what is it?" Meng Zong anxiously asked.
"Qin Shi said that as long as one can reach the same realm as the Heaven and Earth Daoist, and refine the strongest Life Soul Pill in the heaven and earth, the Great Elder's soul would be reborn, and all of this can be easily resolved!" Lei answered honestly.
"Hahahaha Pill Immortal, how is that possible? Pill Refiner, Pill Emperor, Pill Emperor, each stage is level 9, and I'm only level 9 now. It's impossible for me to reach that level in my entire life, and since ancient times, how many more pill immortals can appear in this world? This is simply an unfeasible path!" After Meng Zong finished listening, he immediately laughed out loud, but Lei Yang could still hear the heartache and despair in his heart.
Lei Yang did not immediately go to console him. Instead, he waited for Meng Zong's train of thought to have a cushion before he patiently and meticulously said: "Great Senior Brother, I know that it is something that is practically impossible to accomplish. But, do you know, now we at least have hope!
"As long as there is hope, there is still hope, so we cannot fall into despair and give up. As long as we pull ourselves together and do not give up, there is still hope!"
"I hope so, but to us, that isn't hope at all?" Meng Zong was still unable to escape from the despair that she had previously felt.
In truth, even with Lei Yang's talent in the Pill Dao, he did not dare to think about this Life Soul Pill, because even a powerful being like Qin Shi, who had reached the Nirvana Rebirth Realm, was powerless to help. How far could they go?
However, what was different from Meng Zong was that there was a belief in Lei Yang's heart that ordinary people could not compare to. It was this belief that allowed him to progress from the trash of his clan to where he was now.
Even though it was only a dream that was too far away for Lei Yang to reach, he had to give Meng Zong hope at this moment. Compared to the Great Elder, letting Meng Zong completely walk out of that shadow seemed to be more urgent and important!
Therefore, he simply replied without thinking, "Great Senior Brother, I don't mind telling you this, I had secretly watched Qin Shi deduce fate for Elder Han before, and in the end, there was still a very long time to come after deducing the fate of the Elder Han.
Elder Han's fate is not over yet, could it be that you plan to give up just like that, Great Senior Brother? "
"I mean it!" Meng Zong was initially in despair yet again, but after hearing this, the passion in his eyes was ignited once again.
"Yes, it is absolutely true. However, the matter of fate belongs to the Destiny's will and cannot be revealed easily. Therefore, you should know about it yourself!" In order to get Meng Zong to pull himself together, Lei Yang did not even hesitate to lie to Meng Zong.
"Alright, I understand. That's right. I should pull myself together. I shouldn't give up like this.
Master, as long as there is still a sliver of hope that you can be resurrected, this disciple Meng Zong will make a vow. At this moment, Meng Zong's aura suddenly rose, the haze in his eyes suddenly disappeared, and it was as if he had regained his former wisdom and shrewdness.
Lei Yang felt the change in Meng Zong, and the stone in his heart finally dropped. He knew that he had completed this task, and at the same time, he was deeply moved by the deep feelings Meng Zong had for his master.
After the two of them chatted for a while more about the Elder Han, Lei Yang took the initiative to take his leave.
Meng Zong did not urge him to stay, but when Lei Yang walked to the entrance of the cave, he suddenly called out to Lei Yang, "Heh, I have some understanding of your situation, so I should call you Elder Lei in the future. But I prefer to call you Junior Lei, so I hope that we can become eternal disciples of the Senior Brother?"
Lei Yang paused, turned around and looked at Meng Zong's sincere eyes. He also nodded sincerely: "You will forever be my Great Senior Brother!" Then, he pointed at Meng Zong and heavily punched himself in the heart, indicating that their friendship would forever be contained within his heart.
Towards this kind of straightforward and sincere friend, Lei Yang would never be stingy with his friendship and kindness to sincerely treat them.
Lei Yang turned around and quickly disappeared into the night outside the cave. Only after Lei Yang's figure had disappeared for a long time did Meng Zong mutter to himself, and said in an extremely sincere tone, "Thank you, Junior Brother Lei!"
