However, since Master has given us the orders, Big Senior and I can only follow it.
Eldest Brother headed north, while I headed south. Eldest Brother could go straight to the Black Dragon River in the northeast, and I could go straight to Guangxi and other places.
Speaking of which, I feel like I'm touring the mountains and swimming in the water.
However, my master also instructed me that we are not allowed to take money with us on the journey. We have to use our own abilities to eat; only then can we be considered to be true cultivators.
The last time I saw eldest senior brother, he looked so shabby, no different from a beggar. He stank like a beggar and hadn't taken a bath for at least a month. When I thought of his pitiful look, my heart was in turmoil.
Eldest senior brother and I each have five hundred thousand yuan of Yang Tao's money, so we can't spend a single cent.
Master and I can secretly spend money, but this way, we can go on a sightseeing trip all the way. After one year, we can come back and find that our cultivation has not improved at all, so Master won't be happy. I think it's better to just head south.
On the day that Big Senior and I bid farewell to our masters and left each other, I suddenly received a call from a classmate of mine. When we were in university back then, a roommate of mine was called Liu Wenhao.
Ever since graduation, we separated and haven't contacted each other for a long time. Everyone has their own matters and never had the time to get together, especially after I became a Taoist and met with all sorts of problems, so I couldn't care less about these old classmates of mine.
Liu Wenhao suddenly called me, which surprised me a lot. After pressing the answer button, his somewhat sad and anxious voice came over the line.
"Tian Luo, come over here quickly. Our big bro Li Yadong is about to die!"
When we were in college, Li Yadong was the dorm head of our school. He was tall and strong, and he ate three bowls of rice in one go. He didn't look like he was going to get sick, but Liu Wenhao told me he was dying. How could I believe that?
At that moment, I replied, "Haozi, don't joke with me. Boss is in great health. Even if you want to lie to me, you can't just curse him like that, right?"
Hao Zi suddenly became anxious and immediately said, "Which bastard would lie to you? What I said was the truth. Boss is about to die, he's been unconscious for several days and hasn't been treated in the hospital. The doctor said that it's a never before seen disease, and the signs of life are already very weak.
Hearing Haozi's voice, which didn't sound like he was lying, I had about seventy to eighty percent of the letter. Then I asked, "What happened? How did boss suddenly turn into such a state?"
"Aiya, I can't explain it to you over the phone, so come over and take a look. I don't know the details, but my boss is about to die …" "You'll understand once you come and take a look …" Haozi hung up after saying so.
I put down the phone with an unsettled expression. The eldest senior brother asked, "Dao Ming, what happened?"
"A university classmate of mine seemed to have a strange illness and has been unconscious all this time. I don't know what kind of situation he encountered, but I need to go and take a look." I said anxiously.
The eldest's name was Li Yadong. When I was in college, he was the class monitor and the dorm head of our dorm room, and he was very loyal and took good care of us, especially when I was in school. His family wasn't very well and he invited me to dinner.
"Where is your classmate?" the Eldest Senior Brother asked.
"Seems to be in Zhejiang." I replied.
"That's great. You go south, and Zhejiang will be your first stop. This time there's a reason, you can go directly by car. Master doesn't say anything." The Eldest Senior Brother said again.
At this moment, eldest senior brother and I were already carrying our bags and were leaving the temple. We were about to separate and leave, but there was no need for us to go back and talk to Master about this matter, the so-called 'heart in the mortal world' is a type of cultivation. No matter what, as long as one has a dao heart, one can cultivate wherever they go.
As there was a reason for this, and it was very sudden, I hastily bid my eldest senior brother farewell before the two of us split up into different directions and went our separate ways.
This parting was a year later.
I really can't bear to part with this senior brother of mine.
I was rather worried about Li Yadong's affairs, so after parting with my senior brother, I immediately called a taxi to the train station and bought a ticket to a small town in Zhejiang Province.
I left in the morning, and by the time I arrived at the city where Li Yadong lived, it was already dark. By the time I caught a taxi to the district where Li Yadong lived, the night was already dark and the lights were shining.
When we arrived at the district, I asked Haozi to come down and pick me up. After waiting for a while, I found that not only Haozi had come, but also the other brothers from our dorm, including Lin Kai, Han Feng, and Ma Kui, had come down to pick me up.
It's been almost a year since we last met, but we didn't expect to meet under such circumstances.
Without bothering with pleasantries, I asked Li Yadong what had happened. Why did he suddenly fall down?
However, the few of them were also confused. The first one to know about their boss's accident was Haozi. Because he lived in this city, he had gathered everyone here together.
No one knew why he suddenly became like this, not even Haozi. If you want to know why, Li Yadong would have to wake up and tell us.
Doubtful, I followed them upstairs and saw that Li Yadong's parents were at home, looking worried, but also very enthusiastic about my arrival.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, the few of us arrived at the room where Li Yadong was sleeping. We discovered that Li Yadong was not the only person in the room, and there was an old man in his sixties standing there with a bowl in his hand. No one knew what was in the bowl, but he had a brush in his other hand and was drawing on Li Yadong's body.
