90,000 Years of Longevity

Chapter 162: Moonlight

Deep in the alley, it was very quiet. 

A faint scent was floating in the air.

Occasionally, there were a few cries of birds.

It was definitely not easy to have such a place in a bustling and busy city.

In front of the door of a courtyard, Lin Zihao's body paused slightly.

But he still reacted quickly.

"Meet Mr. Hua!" First, he bowed deeply and greeted Mr. Hua in a very polite voice.

Then he whispered commands to the bodyguards around, "You can go now, stand further, and don't affect the people here. When I'm leaving, I will naturally call you again."

"Yes."

The bodyguards glanced at Mr. Hua's back, then looked at Ye Bei deeply, and replied in unison. Then they quickly walked towards the exit of the alley with the cart.

...

Inside the courtyard.

"Mr. Hua."

After Lin Zihao walked in, he respectfully shouted at Mr. Hua again.

Mr. Hua did not look back or reply to him, he just returned to the pad, sat up cross-legged, and continued to pound the medicine.

Lin Zihao didn't feel embarrassed when he saw this.

Instead, he turned to look at Ye Bei, his voice was as polite as ever, "Mister, we meet again." It was just that there were many doubts in those eyes, and he seemed very surprised at Ye Bei's identity.

Mr. Hua who had just sat down looked slightly at this.

"Have you guys met each other before?" Mr. Hua asked casually.

Ye Bei said nothing.

Lin Zihao quickly replied, "When I came here just now, I met him on the road. I saw that this mister is extraordinary." After he said this, he looked at Ye Bei again and couldn't help asking, "Mister has the demeanor of a transcendent being, so you are by no means an ordinary person, I don't know where does mister hail from?"

Ye Bei remained silent.

His indifferent eyes were still on the herb field in the courtyard, watching various herbs dancing gently in the breeze as if he hadn't heard Lin Zihao's words at all.

A cold light flashed in Lin Zihao's eyes, but he quickly returned to normal. He turned sideways and actively looked at the old man sitting on the pad, "My family's elders asked this junior to come here this time to ask for medicine. He said that in the whole world, only Mr. Hua can treat this junior's illness. My family's elders also said that after this time, we will never disturb your elderly again."

"I know." Mr. Hua's hands on the medicine had already stopped and he took a breath slightly.

Then he drew a piece of paper from under the bedding.

After that, he skillfully poured the powder in the medicine jar into a paper bag, and handed it forward, and said with a soft but strong voice, "Here is the medicine. Go back and boil it and serve it. You will recover within a week."

After Lin Zihao listened, his weak eyes suddenly lit up.

He originally thought he would encounter some trouble when he came here.

He thought Mr. Hua would reject him. Unexpectedly, it would be so easy.

"Mr. Hua..."

Lin Zihao stepped forward to receive the paper bag and wanted to say something.

But Mr. Hua directly interrupted him, "Go back and tell Elder Lin, don't come here in the future. Besides, I will send you a word, there is a sky outside the sky!"

"Thank you, Mr. Hua! I..." Lin Zihao's eyes changed slightly and he wanted to explain something.

The old man sitting on the pads didn't give him any chance at all. He waved his hand and said again, "Take the medicine, leave now!"

The sound was not loud but with an unspeakable momentum.

Even if Lin Zihao still had a lot to say, all of them had to be swallowed back at this moment.

"Yes, Mr. Hua." Lin Zihao bent down slightly, not daring to speak anymore. Then he retreated respectfully toward the gate of the courtyard, but his eyes still fell on Ye Bei from time to time.

Squeak

When he retreated to the door, the wooden door opened automatically with a creak.

Soon, Lin Zihao's figure disappeared completely.

...

Inside the courtyard, it was still very quiet.

Ye Bei looked away from the herb field and looked at the buildings here.

There were houses on all sides.

Although there were some traces of history, the decoration looked quite new, and it was obvious that there were often traces of mortals living here.

The last time Ye Bei came here, it was still in a period of war.

On the walls of the courtyard, he could even see many bullet marks as well as many people who had taken refuge. At that time, the herb field was even more ruined.

"Over the years, have you redecorated this place?" After staying quiet for quite a while, Ye Bei asked Mr. Hua softly.

The sun had set west; the sky was getting darker...

The remaining sunlight was reflecting the mist and scattering in this courtyard. It looked very hazy.

Mr. Hua moved the paving position to the side of the herb field on the left, then crossed his legs and moved back to the bottom.

"You don't ask me why did I save him?" Mr. Hua asked Ye Bei a question instead of answering.

Ye Bei did not return him an answer. He was not interested in answering this question.

Upon seeing this, Mr. Hua took the initiative to speak again, "Being alive, there will be cause and effect. Even if I know that the Lin Family will not end well, but my own cause and effect must be still solved..."

"Doctors can cure diseases, but not people's hearts!" Ye Bei gave his remark calmly.

Mr. Hua was silent.

He was also thinking...

He felt that over the years, the boy in front of him had become more and more unfathomable.

"Then, what do you plan to do in the future?" Mr. Hua asked.

Ye Bei clasped his hand together, "Treat as knowing everything, and also treat as not knowing anything, and continue to look for that answer until I can leave this world and surpass my own heart."

"You are rarely confused." Mr. Hua nodded, and he understood what Ye Bei said.

Only after these words fell, the courtyard became extremely quiet again.

Ji, ji...

The sparrow that flew away quietly flew back, pecking insects in the medicine field, and squeaking happily.

Click!

In the alley outside the courtyard, there were occasional footsteps of passers-by.

In the courtyard, the wind blew from time to time.

Mr. Hua sat on the pad and looked up at the night sky slightly.

He soft but gray hair was moving slightly in the gentle wind.

A lot of white medicine powder stuck to those dry hands.

Although he had a unique temperament, he looked like an old man who had lived for decades.

Harmony, calm and wise.

As if he could see through people at a glance.

But if one looked at him carefully, he would find that he was very mysterious.

As for Ye Bei...

He was standing in this courtyard with his hands held down, his eyes were deep, no expression changes could be seen on his face. The mist was floating in the medicine field, and his long hair was flying, making him more and more like an immortal who was far away from mortals.

It was all dark.

In the sky, a moon hung high...

In the past, the moonlight was generally bright and clear, and it looked very soft and calm.

But today, this moonlight was a bit scarlet, revealing a bit of strange feeling.

"Sigh!" On the ground, Mr. Hua looked at the moonlight and sighed softly.

Ye Bei, who was standing with his hand held down slowly narrowed his deep eyes after hearing the sigh.

Whoosh, whoosh...

In the next moment, those scarlet rays of light turned into countless sharp swords, made a whistling sound, and flew towards a faraway place. The whole world was shrouded in a terrible chill suddenly.
