"Yiqing, I have calculated that my time is running out."

On this day, Jiang Yiqing, who had found an internship as a senior student and received his first month's salary, came to see his master, ready to tell him the good news, instead he heard this.

Jiang Yiqing glanced at the old man in front of him. The old man had a white goatee and was energetic. He couldn't help but show a little doubt on his face.

But the old man shouldn't be joking about such a thing, right?

Jiang Yiqing lowered his head, put down the rice and oil he bought, and muttered, "Didn't I tell you not to eat steamed buns and pickles all day? You will die young."

The master stroked his beard and smiled, "I am over 80 years old, and I am still short-lived?"

Jiang Yiqing glanced at him, "Many people live to be over 100 years old. You are a cultivator, but you only live this short. It's shameful."

"I am a cultivator, not an immortal." His master couldn't help but refute. Looking at Jiang Yiqing, he sighed, "I have raised you to adulthood, and I have nothing to worry about. But there is one thing that has always been a knot in my heart."

Jiang Yiqing rubbed his sore nose, "If you want to eat meat, I will buy it for you."

His master swallowed suspiciously when he heard this, and at the same time felt a little guilty, "Forget it, I will tell you about this in my dream later."

Jiang Yiqing glanced at the old man suspiciously, always feeling that the old man was weird. What did he not say in the past, but had to say in his dream?

However, thinking that the old man's time was running out, Jiang Yiqing was a little depressed. He didn't say anything and cheered up to cook for the old man.

Jiang Yiqing had no parents. Not long after he was born, he was picked up by an old man who was already over 60 years old. The old man was not an ordinary old man, but the 17th generation descendant of Daoism.

Later, the old man saw that Jiang Yiqing had good roots, so he accepted him as the 18th generation descendant.

Later, Jiang Yiqing often wondered if the old man was too poor and liked to live in the mountains, which led to him having no disciples in his 60s.

When he said this thought, the old man's beard stood up in anger, which made Jiang Yiqing more certain of his guess.

Today, his life improved, and it was rare for him to eat meat. After eating, the old man looked satisfied and wiped his mouth, "I am satisfied to eat the meat bought by my apprentice."

Jiang Yiqing had no appetite, "If you live a few more years, I will buy you better."

The old man smiled and said nothing. Matters of life and death, how could mortals control it?

Jiang Yiqing asked for leave and stayed in the mountains without going to work.

Looking at the old man who was still in good spirits every day, Jiang Yiqing even suspected that he was lying to him.

Until early in the morning, the old man did not wake up. Jiang Yiqing called him several times and even pulled out a few of the old man's most precious beards, but the old man did not jump up and hit him.

Jiang Yiqing silently handled the old man's funeral, and there was another small mound on the mountain.

That night, Jiang Yiqing did not leave and still lay in the small broken house on the mountain. He thought he would not be able to sleep, but he soon lost consciousness.

"Yiqing, Yiqing! Wake up, there is a fire!"

Jiang Yiqing opened his eyes suddenly and looked at the old man in front of him.

The old man's figure was a little transparent, more like a soul. Jiang Yiqing realized that this was in his dream.

Jiang Yiqing smiled and pretended to be disgusted, "Master, you always use this trick."

"Haha, it works." The old man touched his beard, looked at Jiang Yiqing who was a little guilty, and put his hands behind his back, "Hey, I won't bother with you about pulling my beard."

Jiang Yiqing didn't relax after hearing this, but looked at his master suspiciously.

The old man coughed lightly and floated back and forth, "That... doesn't Master have something to tell you?"

Jiang Yiqing felt that it was nothing good, but still crossed his arms and waited for the next step.

"Didn't Master tell you that our group will inherit the ancestor's legacy, but this inheritance also has a price." The old man's ghost face was full of guilt.

Jiang Yiqing felt something was wrong when he heard it, and he stopped doing it, "You didn't tell me at the beginning, don't expect me to do anything."

"Since you have accepted the inheritance, you have tacitly agreed." The old man touched his beard and coughed lightly, "In fact, it's not a big deal. At the beginning, our first generation of ancestors once vowed that one day they would make the ancestor have millions of followers. It's just that your Master's generation still failed to fulfill this promise."

The old man sighed and wanted to squeeze out a few tears, but they all turned into ghosts, and they just couldn't squeeze out, so he could only cover them up, "It's because your Master is useless."

Jiang Yiqing didn't buy it at all, and rubbed his mouth, "This is not simple, when I am sixty, I will also accept an apprentice, and after I die, I can just send him a dream, it's a small matter."

Old man: "..."

"I'm afraid this won't work." The old man hesitated, "The first generation ancestor vowed to do it within 500 years. Now... 498 years have passed, and there are only two years left."

Jiang Yiqing almost laughed out of anger, and lay down on the bed, saying, "The previous 17 generations didn't do it, and I can't do it either. It doesn't matter. At most, I will accompany you, Master. I will meet that cheating ancestor in an instant."

"If you can't do it, it's not that serious." The old man thought about it and comforted him, "The first ancestor is kind-hearted. If the descendants can't keep their promises, they will only be poor and destitute, and they will have no money left."

Jiang Yiqing, who had been eating steamed buns for more than ten years, "!!!"

He couldn't stand the word "poor" the most now!

The old man obviously didn't understand Jiang Yiqing's mind, and continued to say, "I have been protected by the ancestor. Although my physical body has perished, my spirit is still here. If you have any questions, I will teach you a formula. If you recite it once, I will appear in your dream."

Before Jiang Yiqing could react, a formula appeared in his mind, and he lost consciousness.

In the early morning, Jiang Yiqing sat up suddenly and patted his chest. What a terrible dream!
