There was not a sound in the morgue, and the smell of formalin filled every inch of space. Time seemed to stand still, no longer flowing.
Huai Kebing lay on a bier, covered in a white shroud, from head to foot. He couldn't carry the wealth, the status, the vanity, the women, the house or the car that he had. At this point, he no longer owned anything.
What would a king who had everything in life take with him when he died?
In the end, all he got was a pit and a pile of dirt.
At that moment, the door of the morgue opened and a man and a woman came in through the door.
The woman wore a white Chinese Tang costume and held a bunch of white chrysanthemums. She was in her early fifties, but her figure and skin were so well maintained that she looked like a woman in her thirties, still retaining a graceful bearing. Her face remained expressionless, her eyes hollow.
This woman was Huai Kebing's mother, Tang
The next day Ning Tao saw Zhao Wushuang and Fan Huaying off to the airport. When they met, Ning Tao and Zhao Wushuang were a little embarrassed, but neither mentioned what happened last night. "Buddy, I'm going to America in a few days, and I may ask you to do me a favor. I talk to you in advance so that you can be prepared. You must not refuse me," Fan Huaying said to Ning Tao at the security checkpoint. Ning Tao, remembering something Zhao Wushuang said last night, asked, "Are you really going to organize a group?" "It's pretty much a certainty, but I can't say much at this point," Fan Huaying said. "Okay, you can call me if you need me, but I don't have a passport or visa. If someone needs to see a doctor, you have to get him here," Ning Tao uttered. Fan Huaying did him such a big favor, and as he asked for it, Ning Tao would definitely try his best. Fan Huaying laughed and said, "See a doctor, see a doctor, it
To the villagers of Sword Pavilion Village and their female chief Lu Nan, Xuan Tianzi was just a character in a legend. It was understandable for a small village to take a legend story as a gimmick in order to attract investment to develop tourism. However, for Ning Tao, that was not a legend, and Xuan Tianzi was not a fictional character. The proof of Xuan Tianzi's existence was in his medicine chest, and it was the Soil-seeking Inkstone that could detect where the spiritual soil was. But he could not tell Lu Nan and the villagers of Sword Pavilion Village about it. Lu Nan told Ning Tao about her village while walking. Ning Tao observed the Sword Pavilion Mountain. The mountain rose to a height of three to four kilometers, and the top of the mountain was always covered with clouds, so that its complete view could not be seen. It was much higher than the surrounding mountains, but not majestic, the middle part even a little thin, like a person's "slim wai
The ledger of bamboo slips said, "Yang Lu, born on the 13th day of the first lunar month in the seventh year in a cycle of sixty years, has been a good man for three lives, and owns 333 points of merits of good intention. His wife in this life is his lover who killed him in his previous life, and she will be punished for it in this life. They are destined to have a tragic ending of love. The pact for merit of good intention could save him while eliminating his merits." This was the first time Ning Tao had met someone with 333 points of merits of good intention, but what surprised him more was that Yang Lu had been a good man for three lives. When he treated his previous patients, the ledger of bamboo slips had never mentioned their previous life, let alone about being a good person for three years. The ledger of bamboo slips labeled Yang Lu as a good man for three lives, which indicated that people really had previous lives. "Who was I in the previous lif
The road up the mountain was a dirt road with a history of untold years. Perhaps because few people used it, the road was almost covered with weeds. Ning Tao carried the Soil-seeking Inkstone and climbed up the mountainside along the rugged path. Soon the path disappeared, and in front of it lay strange stones, like a stone forest. A dense primeval forest followed, rising up the steep mountain. Ning Tao looked up and found that the mountain was still covered with clouds and fog, causing the summit invisible. The Soil-seeking Inkstone still indicated the direction of the top of the mountain. Ning Tao really wanted to climb to the top, but after a moment's thought, he gave up. It might take him about a day to climb up, but he promised Lu Nan that he would have lunch with them. Now it was almost time to lunch. "Leave a blood lock here, and I'll come back in the evening. It would save a lot of time to go straight up from here," Nin
The seven-star lamp in the Sky Clinic was dim, and the good-evil tripod was wreathing with smoke. As soon as Yang Lu entered the clinic, the good-evil tripod put on a smile. "What is this place?" Yang Lu looked around, with a surprised look. Ning Tao replied, "This is Sky Clinic." Yang Lu walked toward the good-evil tripod, his legs trembling and might fall at any minute. He was in a haze with a dazed look in his eyes, as if he were sleepwalking. Ning Tao did not go to help him, nor did he introduce the Sky Clinic, but just looked at him quietly. He really admired Yang Lu. It was difficult for a person to be a good man all his life, but he had been a good man for three lives. Was it fair to him that the accumulated merits of being a benevolent person of three lives would be eliminated because of this illness? It was not fair at all, of course. However, neither Ning Tao nor Yang Lu had a
In the cave, a few steps from the entrance, stood a stone tablet inscribed with the warning, "The intruder will be killed." The light shone over the stone into the interior, where the crevices in the walls were so twisted that it was impossible to see what was like inside. Ning Tao had some worries. "Is there some kind of trap, or an array?" Xuan Tianzi was so powerful that even the old demon Yin Molan was afraid of him, and even said that he had become an immortal. If his cave had mechanism traps and arrays and something like that, it would be quite dangerous. But now that he was here, it was impossible for him to turn away just because of the warning. Ning Tao passed the stone tablet with his phone and walked carefully into the deep cave. His footsteps echoed in the silence of the cave as the lights moved. Some of the rocks were like ghosts or monsters lurking in the dark, ready to pounce and deliver a fatal blow to the intru
The Sky Clinic was quiet, the white good energy and the black evil energy curling around the good-evil tripod and the seven-star lamp with a fading light. Everything was the same as usual. Nothing had changed here after the cure of a benevolent man of three lives. And when Ning Tao came back, the face on the tripod didn't even open its eyes. Ning Tao opened the ledger of bamboo slips to check. The balance on the ledger was 1,133 points, and the good energy and the evil energy were more balanced. The good-evil tripod would release good and evil energy only when he came in. And when the patient came in, it would release smoke. Ning Tao did not feel any honor from this, but felt that the good-evil tripod always urged him to earn good-evil rent. Ning Tao put the ledger of bamboo slips back in the medicine chest, and then took the rotten broken tripod off the shelf to repair something. He now had two broken items, and he chose first to mend the U
Ning Tao came out of the stone forest, and fanned the Unbreakable Fan, and went to the Sword Pavilion Village at the foot of the mountain. On the way, he called Zou Yulin and asked about finding a construction company. Zou Yulin told him that this was done and that the construction company could start the work as soon as he signed the contract to buy the land. There was no denying that Zou Yulin was very efficient. In Ning Tao's opinion, this was actually an opportunity for Zou Yulin to atone for his sins. Ning Tao entered the village and walked directly to Lu Nan's house. "Chief Lu, are you at home?" Ning Tao stood in front of the yard and called. However, no one responded. Ning Tao woke up his eyes and nose to make them enter the state of looking and smelling. He did not see Lu Nan's or Yang Lu's innate aura, but he could smell Lu Nan and Yang Lu. It was not their residual odor, it was the smell that came straight out of thei
