The old man was very happy.

…
Cultivation realm: Qi Refining, Foundation Building, Golden Pill, Yuanying, Transformation, Refining Void, Hedao, Mahayana, Crossing Tribulation (tentatively set as these realms)
Tianyuan Continent, Spirit Realm, Monster Mountain Range, a certain mountain peak, a shocking wail came.
"What?"
"It's all fake."
In front of a dilapidated hut, an old man and a young man were staring at each other. These two were our protagonist Ye Chen and his master, Old Man Ye.
"Master, what you just said was all fake, right?" Ye Chen said this with hope on his face, hoping to hear the answer he wanted from the old man.
At this time, the white-haired old man spoke: "Ye Chen, what your master said is true."
"At the beginning, because I was alone, I always wanted to talk to someone but didn't have one. In addition, you were born without parents. It was because I was kind and couldn't bear to see you suffer, so I brought you here to raise you."
"But I found that your talent was a mess. Not only did you not have any talent for cultivation, but you also had some unrealistic dreams all day long. I couldn't bear to break your fantasy."
"I can only let you live in a false world and entertain yourself. Alas, in order to make you happy, my conscience is so painful. "
Ye Chen heard these words and said angrily: "Then when you let me carry manure, chop wood, cook and wash clothes all day long, won't your conscience hurt?"
When Old Man Ye heard this, his expression froze, and he thought about it before saying: "It hurts! Every time I see you working so hard but not getting a little bit of return, my heart is extremely uncomfortable."
"I still feel unfair for you in my heart. How can there be such a stupid person in the world? How can there be a person with such poor talent? Besides, I didn't find the food ingredients."
Ye Chen felt even more angry when he heard these words. How could he say it out loud?
Why do I do those things?
It's because this old man told me that I do these things to improve my state of mind and sharpen my perseverance.
So since I could walk on my own, I took on these chores. Not only did I have to worry about the future, fearing that some powerful monster would come out and eat them, but I also had to worry about this life of hunger and fullness, fearing that I would never wake up again after lying down one day.
I thought that such days would come to an end as long as the old man officially started to teach me how to practice, and I survived with this perseverance.
As a result, when the old man's life was about to end, he suddenly told me this news. If this was the case, you should have told me earlier. If you had told me earlier, I would have gone down the mountain to become a businessman, and I wouldn't have lived so miserably.
Look at what kind of life he lived in the mountains. He ate wild vegetables and didn't see a meal of meat for a month, but this old man ate meat and drank wine.
How could he be so unlucky to meet such an unreliable old man? He thought he was the son of destiny and had an old man to protect him at the beginning.
As a result, I only found out now that this old man was not even at the first level of Qi Refining, and he relied on cheating to get to where he is now.
The more Ye Chen thought about it, the more desperate he became. He felt that his future was bleak, as if he saw the scene of being taken away by a monster that suddenly appeared after the old man left.
As he thought about it, he shuddered all over.
At this time, Old Man Ye said, "Ye Chen, I am really going to leave this time. I know I am sorry for you.
I have buried some silver under the bed of the thatched cottage over the years. If nothing goes wrong, that silver will be enough for you to spend the rest of your life.
After I am gone, you have to find a pretty wife, so that someone will take care of you.
Also, don't provoke people you can't afford to offend, and don't do anything impulsive when you get excited.
For those of us at the bottom, those cultivators look at us like ants.
Who cares about stepping on an ant to death?
So some things can be endured, don't be impulsive because this is how the world is, the strong prey on the weak.
Without strength, you are nothing, even worse than a pile of shit, at least those shits are
People won't step on it, you know that, right?
Oh, I'm really old, why do you talk more?" As he spoke, his voice gradually weakened and his eyes slowly closed.
Ye Chen couldn't hold back any more, tears welled up in his eyes: "Old man, you want to lie to me again, right?"
"You want to be like before, because you are angry with me, neither of you can put down your face, so you pretended to be dead and scared me."
"In fact, we all know that we have forgiven each other a long time ago, but we are just embarrassed to speak up."
"Old man, you must be angry with me because I didn't prepare barbecue for you, so you can only eat wild vegetables, right?"
"I'll go get the barbecue you made, Master, and send it over. After saying that, he wiped his tears and went to the hut. "
But he soon walked out in a daze, muttering to himself, "I should have thought of it earlier. How could he be so thin if he ate meat every day?"
It turned out that after Ye Chen went in, he found that there was no barbecue at all, but only wild vegetables, which were even worse than the wild vegetables he ate. Compared with the two wild vegetables, the ones he ate at least had a little oil, while the old man Ye ate wild vegetables soaked in plain water.
The reason why Ye Chen didn't find it was because this old man knew some simple magic, such as illusion.
Ye Chen knelt beside the old man Ye, stretched out his hand to tidy up the old man Ye's messy hair, and touched his wrinkled face, which was cold to the touch.
The tears in his eyes were like a flood that had been opened, and he couldn't stop it?
"Get up quickly, this joke is not funny at all. "
Although they often quarreled and sometimes fought together, like two children who never grew up, Old Man Ye did not cheat him during his growth, because he wanted him to be a good person and become a monk.
Unfortunately, he was a waste and failed the old man's good intentions. He was asked to do those things, probably to prevent him from starving to death in the future.
Now think about the old man calling me with a smile on his face: "Xiao Chen, since you are so diligent, I will give you some meat tonight."
And I quarreled with him: "What's the big deal, I'm already grown up."
"Yes, yes, our Xiao Chen has grown up too, this roast chicken is yours, and this is mine. ”
With the old man’s body, it’s hard to catch one, how could there be two?
If I had known earlier, why would I let the old man do these things?
I didn’t know before because I always thought that Old Man Ye was a cultivator, so I felt at ease doing those chores, and I also complained to the old man about this and that. I’m afraid the old man was in a bad mood at that time.
Now think about it, the old man asked me to do these things, probably because he was afraid that something would happen when I entered the Monster Mountain Range. After all, the monsters in the Monster Mountain Range are not a joke.
The old man was protecting me. Thinking of the stupid things I did before, I felt remorseful.
After a long time, Ye Chen finally spoke again.
“Master, why did you leave?”
“What should I do if you leave? "
"I..."
After an unknown amount of time, Ye Chen knelt in front of Old Man Ye's grave, burning paper and saying, "Old man, I used to be an orphan, without a father or a mother. I didn't achieve anything until I was in my 20s. I thought coming here would change things, but I didn't expect it to be even worse."
"I have lived with you for so long, although we often quarreled, but I experienced a different kind of family affection. Now that you are gone, I am alone again."
While Ye Chen was still talking, a crisp voice suddenly rang out.
"Ding, the role-playing system has found the host, do you want to bind?"
"Bind." Ye Cheng was very excited, and the sad and happy look on her face made her look a little scary.
"Ding, the binding is successful, and the role-playing system is at your service."
"Playing system: the host only needs to make up a persona, and other people have emotions such as likes, longings, and fears about this persona, then the persona will become real."
Ye Chen asked without thinking, "Can the system revive the dead? "
The system was silent for a while and said: "Yes."
Ye Chen was overjoyed and continued to ask: "Then how to do it?"
"Ding."
