Chapter 121 Funeral
"Long live the Human King. His last order was for us to count the casualties. For those who died in battle, their families will be compensated with 10,000 Mora. If they have descendants, they can join the Thousand Rock Army unconditionally."
Chongliang said while crying. A man in his thirties was crying like a child at this moment. Zhu Yuncheng still cared about their Qianyan Army until his death. How could he not cry?
In a temporarily requisitioned courtyard in Shimen, the fairies and demons met Zhu Yuncheng.
The latter was lying on the bed, his hair was gray, his face was full of wrinkles and age spots, his eyes were closed, and his breathing was almost imperceptible.
"Yuncheng!" Liu Yun was immediately panicked when he saw Zhu Yuncheng's appearance. How could this happen? He was fine just now and just spit out a few mouthfuls of blood. How come his eldest disciple became like this in an instant?
"Senior Brother!" Gan Yu called softly, walked carefully to Zhu Yuncheng, and reached out to hold Zhu Yuncheng's hand.
It feels dry, like a piece of tree bark.
"Brother." Gan Yu cried, "Wake up, Brother."
Gui Zhong stepped forward and placed one hand on Zhu Yuncheng's body, trying to inject her demonic power into him to prolong his life, but she was soon surprised to find that there was a force in Zhu Yuncheng's body that repelled the demonic power.
"It's useless, Guizhong. I have tried to inject immortal power before, but Yun Cheng's body instinctively rejects it. If it is forced into the body, it may cause his body to collapse." Liu Yun sighed, tears welling up in her eyes.
Gui finally bit her lip lightly, turned around and looked at the Emperor expectantly.
The Emperor stepped forward in silence and placed a hand on Zhu Yuncheng. After a moment, he spoke: "Marcosius, Guizhong, I entrust you to get some herbs to make a medicinal soup."
Hearing this, Liu Yun's eyes lit up, and Gan Yu said, "Emperor, my senior brother, why did he become like this?"
"Xiao Yun's body is not injured at all. The reason he became like this is that his life span has come to an end." The Emperor shook his head gently, "Even if my medicine soup can prolong his life, I'm afraid he only has one month left to live."
Gan Yu's face turned pale: "Emperor, is there really no other way?"
The Emperor shook his head: "Birth, aging, sickness and death are destiny. Besides, Yun Cheng's body repels the power of the devil and immortal power. I have no way to stop him."
Gan Yu sobbed quietly, and suddenly Liu Yun put his hand on her shoulder: "Don't cry, Yun Cheng will wake up later and see you crying."
Ganyu looked up at Liuyun, who had a calm expression, and felt the hand on her shoulder trembling constantly. It seemed that Liuyun was also holding on.
Soon, Gui Zhong and Marcosius brought the boiled medicine soup over. Liu Yun quickly took it, pried open Zhu Yuncheng's teeth, and fed it to him bit by bit.
After drinking the medicine for a while, Zhu Yuncheng began to hear snoring sounds in his throat, as if something was blocking it.
"Help Xiaoyun up!" The Emperor spoke, and Ganyu quickly helped Zhu Yuncheng up, gently patting his skinny body with her hands.
"Cough cough cough!" Zhu Yuncheng coughed a few times, then opened his eyelids, revealing lifeless eyes.
"Emperor, cough cough cough..." Before he could say a few words, Zhu Yuncheng couldn't stop coughing again.
"Okay, Yuncheng, stop talking and have a good rest. You have fought too hard in this battle." Liu Yun let Zhu Yuncheng lie down again and said with concern.
Zhu Yuncheng coughed a few more times, and his face turned visibly red: "Emperor, Master, thank you for your trouble."
"You'd better take care of your health." Gui Zhong said softly.
Zhu Yuncheng shook his head: "Master Guizhong, I know that my current physical condition cannot be healed well."
Hearing this, Ganyu was about to cry again, but she forced her head up and tried to hold back the tears.
The other immortals also had sad looks on their faces. It had been one hundred and eighteen years since Yun Cheng became a disciple of Liuyun. To them, this was just a blink of an eye. However, in this blink of an eye, Yun Cheng became the Human King, promoted currency, conducted foreign trade, reclaimed fertile land, established the Qianyan Army, and made Guili more prosperous. The Qianyan Army he established played a key role in this battle.
He was so shining, just like the sun, but he was only a human being after all and could not live long.
Zhu Yuncheng's face did not show much fear of death. He looked at the Emperor again: "Emperor, I did not expect the seven demon gods to unite this time. Although the Emperor has killed one of the demon gods, the hatred has been formed. I think they will continue to attack Guili in the future, so..."
The Emperor looked at Zhu Yuncheng's expectant eyes, and knew what he was expecting, so he said directly: "Xiao Yun, I understand."
He stood straight, looking around at the immortals, demons and gods present, his voice lingering in the room for a long time: "In this world, many demons and gods have risen up. Although I have no intention of competing for supremacy, I know the suffering of the people. I only wish to cleanse the four directions and protect a corner of the world. This is the contract I have made with you, Guili, and Xiaoyun."
The immortals bowed their heads and saluted: "Follow the Emperor's order!"
There was a flash of excitement in Zhu Yuncheng's eyes, and then his face quickly turned pale.
The emperor lowered his eyes, unwilling to look at Zhu Yuncheng's aged face: "Let Xiaoyun have a good rest, we will go back to Tianheng Mountain to discuss."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Other immortals, demons and gods also left.
Just as Ganyu was about to leave, Zhu Yuncheng suddenly whispered: "Ganyu, Ganyu..."
Gan Yu, who was about to leave, stopped. At Liu Yun's nod, she stayed and sat gently beside Zhu Yuncheng.
After the immortals and demons left, Zhu Yuncheng opened his eyes again, and the grayness on his face disappeared: "Ganyu, send me back to the Human King's Palace, and then call Huahua over."
Gan Yu was stunned: "Brother, you should have a good rest now."
"I don't have time." Zhu Yuncheng said calmly, "Hurry up and arrange things, and then we can go and gamble on that glimmer of hope."
"Bet, a glimmer of hope?" Gan Yu's eyes widened, "Brother, are you......"
"The chances are slim." Zhu Yuncheng said softly, "Ganyu, send me back to the Human King's Palace."
Ganyu nodded and transformed into her original form outside the courtyard.
Zhu Yuncheng looked at the Qilin that looked like a meat ball and didn't know what to say for a moment.
After Ganyu placed Zhu Yuncheng on her soft back, she flew towards Guili City.
The so-called glimmer of hope is that the Taixu Yin-Yang Record breaks through to the third stage and transforms.
However, Zhu Yuncheng has been trying to break through the second stage for nearly a hundred years and has not been able to achieve transformation. The probability of breaking through to the third stage is not so much slim as impossible.
After returning to the Human King's Palace, Ganyu immediately called Huahua over.
Hua Hua looked at the skinny Zhu Yuncheng, and for some reason, she felt very uncomfortable. The human being who bullied her and forced her to submit in the past was now about to die.
"What's the matter? Now that you see I'm about to die, do you want to run away?" Zhu Yuncheng asked calmly. His words sounded joking at first, but his tone was extremely cold.
Hua Hua shook her head repeatedly: "No, I won't leave. Anyway, I'm used to living in Guili. Besides, I can steal Mora from those who violate the laws of Guili. I'm not afraid of being discovered."
Zhu Yuncheng looked at Hua Hua quietly, and the latter only felt his scalp tingling. It seemed that as Zhu Yuncheng got older, the pressure from him became stronger and stronger.
"This is the best. When I'm gone, my junior sister Ganyu will be your leader. You must report everything to her before making any decisions. Do you understand?"
Huahua nodded: "I understand."
