Chapter 150 Wish and Cause
Song Jie shook his head with a smile and said, “It’s not that easy to find an immortal.
“However, I did learn some spells over the years.
“Although he is not an immortal now, he is still a cultivator of immortality.”
“Then the second brother can be regarded as half an immortal. No wonder the second brother still looks so young after so many years.
“Is this related to the spells my second brother learned?”
Song Yi looked at Song Jie’s young appearance with envy in his eyes.
Song Jie nodded and said, “Yes.”
At this moment, a young man’s voice came from outside the house.
“Dad, are there any guests at home today? I saw a carriage parked outside.”
Along with this voice, a young man in his early twenties walked in.
Judging from his appearance, he looks a bit like Song Yi when he was young.
Without asking, Song Jie knew that this young man should be Song Yi’s son.
Following the young man came in a woman also in her early twenties, and a little boy about three years old.
“Grandpa, grandpa, I’m back!”
As soon as the little boy entered the room, he immediately threw himself into Song Yi’s arms.
Song Yi stroked the back of the little boy’s head with a loving look on his face, and said with a smile: “Xiaohu is out today, are you having fun?”
“I’m so happy! Daddy took me to dig snails today, and we came back with a lot of snails.”
As the little boy spoke, he broke away from Song Yi’s arms, ran to the young man again, pointed at the bamboo basket in the young man’s hand, and said excitedly:
“Grandpa, look, there are a lot of snails here.”
“Grandpa saw it.”
Song Yi greeted the little boy over with a smile, then pointed at Song Jie and said: “Xiaohu, this is your uncle, please call me uncle.”
“Hello, uncle~” The little boy looked at Song Jie curiously.
Although he didn’t know what uncle meant, his grandfather asked him to call him that, so he called him that.
“Little Tiger is so good. Come, uncle will give you a small toy.”
Song Jie took out a rattle from his storage bag with a smile on his face, placed it in front of the little boy and waved it twice.
The little boy glanced at Song Yi first, and then took the rattle from Song Jie’s hand when he saw the other party nodded.
She said in a sweet voice, “Thank you, uncle~”
Song Jie nodded gently, trying his best to show a kind smile.
Before he came, he went to the sundry store and bought some small mundane gifts just to deal with this situation.
The young man standing next to him looked at Song Jie, who was similar in age to him and even looked similar.
He immediately remembered that Song Yi once told him that he had an uncle who left the village a long time ago and went to learn from an immortal.
Although his intuition told him that Song Jie was his father’s biological brother, that is, his uncle.
But looking at Song Jie’s young appearance, it was really difficult for him to associate him with his uncle.
Immediately, the young man looked at Song Yi with a hint of inquiry.
Seeing that his son still looked a little unbelievable, Song Yi immediately turned serious.
“See what your father is doing, why don’t you say hello to your uncle quickly.
“A person of this age is not as sensible as Xiaohu.”
After being scolded, the young man looked at Song Jie and bowed to Song Jie unnaturally.
“Hello, uncle.”
The young woman standing next to the young man also joined in the salute.
“Hello, uncle.”
Song Jie nodded with a smile, looked at the young man, and asked, “What’s your name?”
“Back to uncle, my father named me Song Renjie.”
“Song Renjie…a good name.”
With that said, Song Jie took out two small ordinary gifts from his storage bag and gave them to Song Renjie and Song Renjie’s wife respectively.
Song Renjie and his wife accepted the small gift from Song Jie without any hesitation.
“Thank you uncle.”
The two of them saluted Song Jie again.
Song Yi, who was on the side, kept watching this scene with a smile, and then joked: “Second brother, you are not being kind.
“How come my son and grandson both have gifts, but I don’t have any?”
“There are all of them. This time I came back and brought some delicious food.”
Song Jie laughed and took out one thing after another from the storage bag.
There are exquisite cloths, luxurious jewelry, and various supplements…
Things like ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, deer antlers…all are all kinds of worldly good things.
These things can be said to be of great value to ordinary people.
But to Song Jie, a well-known alchemist, they are just ordinary things.
Song Yi and his family just looked at Song Jie, conjuring one precious item after another out of thin air like a magic trick.
Song Yi straightened his eyes.
“Second brother, are these good things created by you using magic?”
Song Jie smiled slightly, shook his head and said: “Spells can’t produce these things, they were all bought before I came back.
“It’s just stored in a place where you can’t see it…”
Song Yi nodded in understanding.
While marveling at the magic of the spell, he asked: “Do these things cost a lot of money?
“Brother is just kidding you, you really bought so many things.
“What a waste of money…”
Song Jie smiled and said: “Fortunately, compared to the money I usually spend on cultivation, these mundane items don’t cost much.”
“Yes, second brother, you are now a cultivator of immortality, and you are different from us mortals.”
Song Yi couldn’t help but feel a little sad.
When Song Jie first came back, he was indeed very happy.
But now, Song Yi discovered that Song Jie was no longer in the same world as them.
He knew that when Song Jie came back this time, it wouldn’t be long before he left again.
Putting away a trace of emotion in his heart, Song Yi did not be polite to Song Jie and asked Song Renjie to collect all the gifts that Song Jie brought back.
Then he chatted with Song Jie about the changes in his hometown over the years.
Song Jie just listened quietly.
Not long after, the old man Song Liangmin came out of the kitchen.
The two mothers-in-law and daughter-in-law followed behind and brought out the hot meals.
Afterwards, the family sat around the table and enjoyed the long-lost reunion and delicious food.
Because Song Jie came back today, Song Liangmin specially killed two old hens and made a pot of hen soup for Song Jie.
Drinking the hen soup in the bowl, Song Jie felt the warmth of home for the first time after traveling to the world of immortality for so long.
After dinner, Song Liangmin took Song Jie and chatted for a long time.
He talked about some embarrassing things about Song Jie when he was a child, and also talked about what happened after Song Jie left the village.
Song Jie also told Song Liangmin about his experience in cultivating immortals over the years.
Song Jie felt there was no need to explain some things clearly to Song Liangmin.
For example, there is no need to tell the truth about the original owner’s unsatisfactory experience in Xinyuefang City, as that would only make Song Liangmin worried.
In this regard, Song Jie lied and claimed that he was studying at someone else’s school in the early years. Because he was not good at studying and had not yet graduated, he never came back.
Over the years, after completing his studies and graduating from school, he was allowed to go home to visit relatives.
In short, Song Jie explained why he didn’t go home in the early years and didn’t come back until now.
At the same time, he also made it clear that he was living a good life now, so Song Liangmin had nothing to worry about.
Song Liangmin didn’t understand much about what Song Jie said about cultivating immortals, but he heard the news he wanted to know, and that was enough.
When it was late at night, Song Liangmin ended his conversation with Song Jie and returned to his room to sleep.
Song Jie also returned to a room arranged for him by Song Yi.
Compared with the house he rented, the room in front of him seemed small and crude. It was similar to the environment he lived in when he first came to this world.
Song Jie didn’t have any requirements for the living environment.
Looking at Chen Siyao, who was already lying on the bed, sleeping soundly, and Jin Jiao, who was lying next to Chen Siyao, Song Jie couldn’t help but reveal a faint smile.
Because of the limited room, Song Yi could only spare one room for Song Jie.
So Song Jie and the three of them had to spend the night in one room.
After covering Chen Siyao with the quilt that she had kicked aside, Song Jie found an empty seat at the foot of the bed, sat cross-legged and meditated, and began tonight’s practice.
……
The next day, Song Jie, accompanied by Song Liangmin and Song Yi, went to the grave of the original owner’s mother to pay a solemn memorial ceremony.
After the ceremony, Song Jie stayed at home for another two days, using his spiritual power to secretly condition Song Liangmin’s body and remove some hidden diseases in Song Liangmin’s body.
In the past two days, news in the village spread quickly like the spring breeze.
The villagers heard that the second son of the old Song family received the true story from the immortal.
This time when they returned to their hometown to visit relatives, they all visited Song Liangmin’s house out of curiosity and admiration, wanting to find out.
When these villagers saw Song Jie with their own eyes, their faces all showed shock.
Song Jie’s young face had hardly changed much from the boy in their memory, which convinced them that the person in front of them was Song Jie, the second son of the old Song family.
There is no need for Song Jie to reveal any magic skills. The villagers have confirmed from his unchanged youthful appearance that Song Jie has indeed learned his true skills from the immortal.
In the past two days, when the villagers talked with Song Liangmin, their voices were full of flattery to the old Song family.
This made Song Liangmin feel very proud.
In the two days since Song Jie returned home, it can be said that the smile on Song Liangmin’s face almost never stopped.
Even when he went to bed at night, there was a smile on his lips.
It’s a pity that Song Jie can’t stay, and Song Liangmin also knows this in his heart.
Therefore, when Song Jie proposed to leave, Song Liangmin did not persuade Song Jie to stay.
He didn’t even dare to show too much reluctance.
In his heart, Song Jie’s future is more important.
Although Song Liangmin is not a cultivator of immortals, he has heard that immortals are not stained by the world and cannot be entangled by the emotions in the world.
Therefore, Song Liangmin just wiped his tears and waved goodbye to Song Jie.
Before he died, Song Liangmin knew that his Erya was still alive and living a good life, and Song Liangmin had no regrets.
After saying goodbye to Song Liangmin, Song Yi and others, Song Jie took Jin Jiao and Chen Siyao and drove the carriage slowly towards the outside of the village.
Before leaving, he also left behind some mundane money.
Although there is not much, it is enough for Song Liangmin to support himself in his old age.
In fact, with Song Jie’s current financial resources, he can completely leave a sum of ordinary money that is enough for three generations of the Song family to use for a lifetime.
But Song Jie feels that leaving too much money may not be a good thing.
So in the end, he left Song Liangmin a pension fund.
As for Song Yi’s pension issue, Song Jie should not worry about it.
……
When the carriage drove into a deserted place, Song Jie handed over the driving right of the carriage to Jin Jiao.
As for him, he got into the carriage and started refining the elixir.
After refining a batch of elixirs, Song Jie sat cross-legged in the carriage just like before, quietly running Changchun Gong, and began to restore the spiritual power he had just consumed.
Not long after entering the cultivation state, I fell into a trance.
Song Jie felt that he seemed to be pulled into a dream.
What appeared in front of him was a peach blossom forest full of peach blossoms.
Looking through the peach blossom forest, he could see a familiar figure standing deep in the peach blossom forest, waving to him.
Song Jie felt something in his heart and walked towards the figure without hesitation.
When he walked into the peach blossom forest and came to the figure.
Unsurprisingly, I saw another him.
“Are you the original owner?”
Song Jie looked at the man who looked the same as him and didn’t feel the slightest surprise.
“He is already dead, and I am the obsession he left behind before he died.”
The man who called himself Obsession smiled slightly at Song Jie.
Song Jie nodded and said, “Is his wish fulfilled?”
“Yes.” The obsessive man nodded and said, “I want to thank you in person on his behalf, so I pulled you into the dream. I hope you won’t be offended.”
Song Jie shook his head and said, “You don’t need to thank me, because after I took over his body, I took over his cause and effect. This is what I have to do.”
“No matter what, thank you.”
After the obsessive man bowed to Song Jie, he continued: “Before he died, his only thought was that he wanted to go home and see.
“You help him fulfill this wish, and you will be him from now on.”
Song Jie nodded with understanding and said: “If I hadn’t gone to his hometown, I would have helped him fulfill his wish.
“Then I can never truly have this body, right?”
“Yes.” The obsessive man nodded and said, “Just as you said, you were reborn in his body and just inherited his cause and effect.
“Only when you fulfill his wish can this cause and effect bear fruit.
“Only in this way can you truly become him.”
Song Jie continued to ask: “Now that I have become him, what about you? What will happen?”
“My mission has been completed. When you wake up, I will disappear…
“So, this is the first and last time I meet you.
“Perhaps you will still have obsessions in the future, but that is no longer me.”
The obsessive man had a calm look on his face, as if it was not him who was about to disappear.
Song Jie was silent for a while, then said: “Then what is your wish?”
The obsessive man smiled lightly and shook his head.
“You have fulfilled my wish for me.”
“Then is there anything else you want to say to me?”
The obsessed man took a deep look at Song Jie, nodded and said: “Be careful of ‘Xu Yuan’!”
