NFBE Chapter 200 Fu Yue's Past
Chapter 200 Fu Yue's Past
Once the gourd was opened, Fu Yue poured herself several large gulps of strong liquor.
The spicy liquor stimulated his senses and made his mind less clear.
On the way to Yumen Valley, no one recognized him, no one blocked his path, and people even avoided him.
No one would associate this seemingly madman with the aloof Venerable Fuyue, even though he used telepathy when he took Lu Xihan as his disciple.
No one has ever seen his true face. No, it should be said that this is his current face. Those who know him or have heard of him all think that he is as upright and respectable as the other venerable ones in the sect.
Who would have thought that such a disheveled, smelly, and half-dead person would be the Venerable Fuyue?
"Ah……"
Fu Yue walked with a limp, occasionally taking a sip of wine.
This is the strongest liquor in the world, brewed from the Sunburn Berry, which can only be found in that one place.
That place is also a place that Fu Yue cannot and dares not set foot in again.
"Cough cough cough cough!!!"
Fu Yue choked a little from drinking too much alcohol. The spiciness of the alcohol brought tears to his eyes, made them bloodshot, and turned them a terrifying red.
……
……
"Brother, brother? What are you daydreaming about?"
A round head appeared in front of him, and Fu Hua's face still looked very young. He reached out and waved his hand in front of Fu Hua's face several times with some concern.
"It's nothing, I just got some powder from the Wind Chaser Butterfly in my eyes."
"Phew, that's good. I thought you were going to go blind. I can't take care of a blind person."
Fu Yue gave her a hard knock on the head.
Fu Hua immediately cried out in pain, clutching his head: "Ouch! Brother, what are you doing?!"
"Stop talking nonsense. What nonsense about being blind? It's just a Wind Chaser Butterfly. Your brother is easy to catch."
Fu Yue raised her other hand, and floating in her palm was the Wind Chaser Butterfly trapped by the air mass.
Fu Hua stared at the Wind Chaser Butterfly in his hand, which was the same size as an ordinary butterfly, with surprise and curiosity: "Wow, brother, you're amazing, you caught it already?"
"That's right, don't look at who I am."
Fu Yue is also someone who can't resist praise; after only a couple of sentences, she was already wagging her tail in the air.
Fu Hua muttered under her breath, "Tch, it's because he got something in his eyes..."
Fu Yue looked over with a gloomy expression: "What?"
Fu Hua was so startled that she immediately stood up straight: "It's nothing! Now that we've caught the Wind Chasing Butterfly, let's go back quickly, so Grandma Luo won't wait any longer."
Watching Fu Hua skip away into the distance, Fu Yue shook her head helplessly, carefully put away the Wind Chasing Butterfly, and chased after her.
"Take it easy, Grandma Luo isn't in a rush."
Fu Hua turned around and saw Fu Yue, who was far behind, waving: "Silly brother, hurry up, or we'll miss the village chief's dinner."
"Tch, brat, all you want is to eat at the village chief's house. Grandma Luo's place is just an excuse."
Seeing Fu Hua hurrying ahead, Fu Yue was about to catch up when her vision suddenly became blurry. She had to stop and blink several times, but it was no use.
"Brother..."
Fu Hua turned around, intending to tease Fu Yue a few more times, but found it strange to see him still standing there.
She walked back to his side and tugged at his sleeve with some concern: "Brother, what's wrong?"
Sensing the unease of the person beside her, Fu Yue forced a smile and comforted him, "It's nothing, it's just that brother might... really be blinded by the butterfly powder."
Upon hearing this, Fu Hua panicked immediately: "Brother, don't scare me! You're a bad guy! Brother, don't scare me!"
Fu Hua became increasingly flustered, and his speech became incoherent.
Fu Yue anxiously comforted her, "It's okay, Ahua, don't cry. I'm really fine. It's just that I got some butterfly powder in my eyes. I'll be fine in a little while."
"Brother, sob sob sob, brother, can you still see? Oh right, Grandma Luo, let's go find Grandma Luo quickly, she must have a way."
Fu Hua immediately wiped away her snot and tears, and pulled Fu Yue along as they ran towards Hexi Village.
"Hey, hey, slow down, slow down! You brat, I'm still blind!!!"
"Don't slow down, don't slow down! If you're any later, you really won't be able to see it anymore, you big idiot!"
Fu Hua grabbed him and ran all the way, feeling that only she could save this big idiot.
Fortunately, Hexi Village wasn't too far from where they caught the Wind Chaser Butterfly, and they returned in the time it takes for two incense sticks to burn. However, at that moment, Fu Yue felt that the most important thing wasn't that he had gone blind, but rather that he had been dragged along by this brat and had fallen several times, resulting in bruises and swelling on his face.
"Grandma Luo, Grandma Luo! Waaaaah! Quick, my brother has gone blind! Please help me heal him!"
"Hey, little darling, slow down! What's the matter that you're in such a hurry?"
While the old lady was collecting herbs in the courtyard, she saw the precocious Fu Hua pulling Fu Yue, who had a bruised and swollen face, running towards her.
"Grandma Luo, quick! My brother has been blinded by the pollen of the Wind Chasing Butterfly! Save him!"
Upon seeing an acquaintance, Fu Hua burst into tears, but managed to explain the whole story in fits and starts.
After hearing this, Luo Miaohua couldn't sit still any longer and hurriedly led Fuyue over to sit down: "Didn't I say you weren't allowed to catch the Wind Chasing Butterflies? Why did you go secretly again?"
With tears streaming down her face, Fu Hua said, "We...we just don't want Grandma to work too hard. The villagers need medicine, and the Wind Chaser Butterfly needs to be used frequently."
"That shouldn't be you two little devils going. Grandma knows you mean well, but these Wind-Chasing Butterflies are highly poisonous. One wrong move and..."
"Sigh, there's no use saying more. Your external injury is easy to treat, but it's your eye..."
"Brother, brother, have you really gone blind? Waaaaaah~"
Fu Hua cried even louder.
"Don't worry, Nizi, his eyes can still be saved, but that thing is very hard to find..."
"No matter how difficult it is, I will find my brother. Grandma, please tell me."
Luo Miaohua sighed deeply and then told him about it.
"The classic texts of medicine record a kind of spiritual herb called the Soul-Returning Grass, which grows in places full of poisonous afflictions. It is accompanied by a creature called the Jade Powder Butterfly, which can restore sight to the blind."
"The Resurrection Grass is hard to find, and the Jade Powder Butterfly is even rarer... I'm old and can't walk very far anymore. Nizi, do you really want to go looking for these things? That will be an extremely difficult road."
"Also, as I've always told you, the outside world is dangerous; you can easily lose your life if you're not careful."
……
"That big idiot is all I have left, I have to go!"
……
Grandma Luo took them both in. Grandma Luo is a very kind person, but unfortunately she is too old and doesn't have many years left to live.
She knew this herself, so after finding them, she kept teaching them skills.
Most of the residents in Hexi Village are ordinary people, but life is much harder for them. The people living there are either disabled or sick.
Grandma Luo was indeed very kind, often giving medicine to villagers to treat their illnesses. However, she was ultimately just an ordinary person who had one foot in the door of cultivation. A tattered medicine manual that had been lost from the immortal sect had been with her for most of her life, and the things she could teach the two of them were very limited.
In the fifth year of Fu Hua's search for the Resurrection Grass, Luo Miaohua passed away. Fu Hua then took a break, taking care of his brother and the few families in the village.
Five years of traveling around the world broadened Fu Hua's horizons considerably, and he told Fu Yue, that big idiot, everything he had learned, bit by bit, and also taught him what he had gained.
The number of people in the village is decreasing, but the appearances of the two of them seem to be slowly freezing.
They are ultimately different from ordinary people.
Until the last person in the village died, they no longer needed to stay there and began a life of wandering.
In the path of cultivation, they ultimately entered it later than others, wasting their good talent and spiritual roots.
In her twentieth year of wandering the mainland, Fu Hua finally found something that could cure Fu Yue's eyes. At that time, it seemed that the innocence and liveliness that she had abandoned in those years were slowly returning.
But... she lost her innocence and liveliness once again because of him, lost forever.
……
Despite the burning pain in her throat, Fu Yue still forced down the mouthful of Lieyang wine to numb her clear mind and the excruciating pain.
"why why……"
Those things are already within reach...
