Chapter 2681 Missing
"It's here, it's here!" Lan Caijie was as happy as a sixteen-year-old girl. She danced as she spoke, and even tears appeared on her face.
Of course, as a spirit, tears are made up of spiritual power and will not get clothes wet.
Chen Mo didn't say anything, but nodded with a smile and followed.
Lan Caijie didn't really need to say anything in his current situation. He just wanted to talk to someone. He hadn't been back to his hometown for more than a thousand years, so he was naturally excited and couldn't help but feel happy. This kind of emotion needed to be vented, so he talked and jumped.
"Mr. Chen, look there! That's the entrance of my hometown." Lan Caijie pointed to the entrance of a road and said with surprise.
But as he spoke, his surprise gradually turned into a dull tone: "It's a pity that he looks a little unrecognizable now."
After more than a thousand years, things will naturally change.
Lan Caijie didn't say anything else, but talked to Chen Mo, then left the Qingyu Sword, came to the ground, and walked forward along the road.
Chen Mo followed behind and released some talismans on Lan Caijie's body to protect her spirit from the cold wind. Under the cold wind at night, the spirit would lose its spiritual power faster. If Lan Caijie's spirit had been cultivating for a long time, or had absorbed spiritual power for a long time, the lost spiritual power would not have much impact.
However, Lan Caijie's spirit body had just been formed not long ago, and it had just escaped the level of annihilation and was able to condense into one. If the spiritual power dissipated for a long time, its spirit body would become unstable again.
Lan Caijie walked very slowly, looking at the surrounding environment while walking, and kept muttering: "Here, this place has become unrecognizable. And this side, I climbed this mountain when I was a child, but now it has changed a lot. Compared with the past, it has really changed a lot."
"Huh? This tree is still there? No way! In my memory, this tree is hundreds of years old. I used to play under this tree when I was a child! At that time, my sister and I played under the tree, and there were other people from the same village around us. It's still fresh in my memory when I think about it." Lan Caijie walked forward, walked around the tree, and looked at it.
However, perhaps because this tree is considered an ancient tree, it is surrounded by an iron fence to protect the ancient tree and prevent people from approaching.
But for Lan Caijie, the iron fence naturally could not stop her from approaching, so she just walked straight past. The iron fence could not prevent the spirit from entering at all.
He walked around the trunk and stroked it, and finally said to Chen Mo at a certain position on the tree: "Look, this is the text I carved when I was a child. Although it is not clear now, there are still traces."
Chen Mo looked at it intently, but was stunned. This is text, why does it feel like a knot on a tree? I can't see it at all!
I admire that even after a thousand years, I can still see the marks left behind.
He could only complain in his heart, but did not say it out loud. Instead, he nodded and said, "I never thought that the mark you left behind can still be seen now."
"Yes, yes! It's unimaginable." Lan Caijie said. She stroked the old tree with her hands, but her eyes were moist and she shed tears again.
She had never expected that she would become so sentimental and cry all the time. Could it be that after becoming a spirit, she could no longer control her tears?
If my sister were still alive and could look at the mark on this ancient tree with me, would she also feel incredible?
The two of them stood like this, one outside the fence, and the other inside the fence, stroking the ancient tree in silence, without saying a word.
At this moment, several people came over. One of them raised the flashlight in his hand and shone it over: "What are you doing? What are you looking at?"
This should be the security team, who were patrolling at night. They saw a figure in front of the ancient tree, so they immediately came forward to ask. The ancient tree is very valuable and has become a tourist attraction, so necessary protection is naturally necessary.
"I couldn't sleep at night, so I came here to see the scenery." Chen Mo turned around and said lightly.
Several people from the patrol team walked forward and found Chen Mo alone, with nothing in his hands, and just standing outside the iron fence, so they didn't say much. They also couldn't see Lan Caijie, who had already been protected by Chen Mo using talismans.
"Oh, that's good. It's getting late, go to bed early." The patrolman looked at the tree and said nothing, then turned and left. But there was still suspicion in his eyes. These people were a little scared. It was really scary for a grown man to talk to an old tree at night.
Chen Mo had no choice but to turn around and say to Lan Caijie, "Shall we continue to go inside?"
Lan Caijie shook her head and said, "No need. This is no longer my previous home. My home no longer exists and there's nothing to see inside. I want to take a look over there." She pointed to a small hill in the distance.
"Where?" Chen Mo was a little surprised.
"Yes, that's where my family's ancestral grave is. I want to go and see if it's still there."
"Okay, let's go!" Chen Mo said.
The two of them walked towards the hill again, one in front and one behind.
The hill didn't look far away, but it was actually quite far to walk to. It took me more than half an hour to finally get there.
Then walk along a path up the hill.
The two walked very slowly because Lan Caijie could no longer find the hill as she remembered it. The hill was still the same as it was a thousand years ago, but it was no longer the same as she remembered it was a thousand years ago.
When they reached the middle of the mountain, Lan Caijie came to a huge protruding rock. However, this place had been built into a small sightseeing pavilion, and there were no other graves or anything like that. Lan Caijie stood in front of the pavilion and looked for a while before saying, "The ancestral grave of my family was here in the past!"
Chen Mo looked at it, feeling sad. Sure enough, nothing can resist the invasion of time. Thousands of years ago, this area might have been full of graves, but now it has become a pavilion. Perhaps, after a few more years, this place may have a different scene.
"Alas! I didn't expect that everything is gone." Lan Caijie actually wanted to see her ancestral grave, thinking that maybe it was still there, so she wanted to see if there was a grave of her grandfather or mother. But unfortunately, everything had disappeared, without any trace of the original.
Lan Caijie walked forward, knelt down and kowtowed to the protruding rock, remembering her relatives. Even though the grave was gone, the big rock was still there, so she could just treat it as a tombstone.
After a long time, Lan Caijie turned around and said, "Mr. Chen, let's go back. This is no longer the hometown in my heart."
"Okay!" Chen Mo nodded and took out the Green Jade Sword. As the ban was released, Lan Caijie stood on the Green Jade Sword with him and flew back on the sword.
When we returned to the villa, it was already past three in the morning. There was nothing much to talk about tonight, so we naturally didn't need to sleep.
Chen Mo took out a jar of wine and some food, then invited Lan Caijie to sit on the balcony and chat.
Of course, he just wanted to talk to Lan Caijie and enlighten her. Everything that happened tonight might have made her a little depressed.
Lan Caijie was a spirit body and could not drink alcohol, but could drink spiritual liquid. So the spiritual wine that Chen Mo took out contained spiritual power, so naturally she could drink some. As for food, naturally only Chen Mo could eat it.
The two of them were on the second-floor balcony, looking at the night view and drinking wine. It was a peaceful scene, but they didn't know what to talk about.
Chen Mo wanted to comfort her, but unfortunately he didn't know how. Lan Caijie was still a little excited, so she didn't want to talk.
But because of Chen Mo's company, his mood gradually recovered.
"Thank you!" Lan Caijie said to Chen Mo.
Chen Mo laughed and said nothing.
"I want to go back." Lan Caijie said again.
Chen Mo took out the soul jar and let her in.
The spirit body has just been formed not long ago, so it is better for it to stay in the soul jar for a while so that the spirit body can be more condensed.
Chen Mo took the soul jar, looked at it, and finally sighed and put it into his Qiankun bag.
Lan Caijie is also a pitiful person, but compared to some ancient people, she is much luckier.
He drank the wine in one gulp, turned back to the basement, and began to meditate and practice. There was no way to do anything else tonight, and he could only practice Zhen Yuan.
Early in the morning, after finishing work, Chen Mo once again carried his medicine box and went to the sanatorium to treat the injured and sick.
There are still several people who have not received treatment, so I have to treat them today and issue medical instructions. After that, there will be nothing for me to do, as it will all be the job of the doctors in the nursing home.
Time passed quickly. The injuries of several people were caused by the invasion of alien energy. The treatment was quick and simple. Of course, this simplicity was only for him. If any other doctor came here, they would be overwhelmed!
There is no way. Once the alien energy invades the body, it is really difficult to draw it out.
Fortunately, it is not easy for alien energy to invade the body. At least the combat strength must be several levels higher to prevent the alien energy from invading.
It was already noon when Chen Mo finished treating the injured. After giving the doctor a few instructions, he was about to return with the medical kit when he received a call from Qi Yacheng.
On the phone, Qi Yacheng said that other things purchased by him had arrived, and a batch of large items such as the special vehicles he ordered had arrived, and some would be delivered tomorrow.
So, Chen Mo immediately drove back to the villa and saw Qi Yacheng and several workers moving goods.
The goods that had been moved to the basement had disappeared. Qi Yacheng was also a little surprised, but he didn't think about it anymore. He knew that his brother-in-law might be a little special and mysterious. So it was better not to pry into some things.
Seeing Chen Mo return, he immediately handed him the list of supplies he had purchased: "These are part of it, and another part will be brought over around 5 pm. When it is delivered, except for the large special goods on the list, all other goods will have been purchased."
Chen Mo looked at all the checked items on the list, scanned the packaging with his spiritual sense, nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, thank you for your hard work, brother-in-law."
"Haha, I should." Qi Yacheng did not say anything emotionally intelligent, but answered directly. Because the person in front of him was his brother-in-law, there was no need to be so alienated.
