Rong City, Chengjiang County, Songluo Town. There was a small Taoist temple built against a mountain.
"Fate is playing tricks on us."
In the Taoist temple, an old man was lying on an armchair and looking at the mountains in the distance. His mood was indescribable.
From his attire, it could be seen that this old man was a Daoist priest. His hair was as white as snow and he was already old and frail.
In fact, the real old Taoist priest had long passed away. At this moment, under this old body was the soul of a young man from another world.
The young man had the same name as the old Taoist priest. They were both called Zhou Mu.
From a young man to an old man who was about to die, no one would be able to accept this fact.
Zhou Mu was no exception.
In the other world, although he had no worries, he had a healthy, young, and energetic body.
And now…However, he had become an old man who was weak, unable to move, needed to sit in a wheelchair, and was about to die.
Such a blow was like a thunderbolt to ordinary people.
However, after a period of depression, Zhou Mu understood that what was done was done. He was destined to be a social animal in the other world anyway. After working hard for a lifetime, wouldn't he have to reach this step in the end?
From another perspective, although he lost at the starting line, he pressed the acceleration button and caught up from behind. He stood at the end of the track of life and could be considered a winner in life.
"It's just that I added a little too much."
Zhou Mu sighed and looked at the data panel that had been activated after transmigrating.
Name: Zhou Mu
Age: 81
[Lifespan: 29 days]
[Cultivation Method: Eight Vajra Techniques (Beginner 91/100)]
It was this panel that allowed him to see his own data. When he first activated it, Zhou Mu was filled with joy. He thought that it was only a matter of time before he reached the peak of his life.
However, after Zhou Mu tried many times, he realized that this panel had no other use other than being able to see his own data.
As for the so-called cultivation technique, the Eight Vajra Techniques, it was only used by the predecessor to maintain his health. It was not a martial arts technique.
According to his understanding, this world was the same as his previous life. There was no supernatural power.
It could not change the fact that he was about to face death.
"It's getting late. It's time for lunch.”
Zhou Mu shook his head and put away the emotions in his heart. He slowly stood up from his chair and walked into the house.
Although he only had 30 days left to live, Zhou Mu, who had adjusted his mentality, still had to eat and drink. After all, he had already reached this stage. He couldn't possibly starve to death, right?
It had to be said that Zhou Mu's physical fitness was not bad, perhaps because of his predecessor's health. Even at the age of 80, he did not need to use crutches and could still support himself.
Most elderly people at this age would be unable to take care of themselves in wheelchairs and would suffer from various illnesses such as dementia.
Those who were slightly stronger were also using crutches. Their movements were slow. Other than going to the toilet, they could not do anything.
There were very few people who could take care of themselves like Zhou Mu.
Back in the house, Zhou Mu heated up the remaining half of the bowl of porridge from the morning. He also used the induction cooker to stir-fry a small vegetable. He dripped a few drops of oil and added a little salt. The cooking method was very light.
"Stir-fried vegetables, serve!"
The Taoist temple also had a clay stove like the one in the countryside, but chopping firewood to start a fire was too troublesome, and the old man did not have the strength to do so.
Even his predecessor had not used it for many years, let alone a young man like Zhou Mu who had transmigrated. Even if he could use it, he would not be bothered to use it.
...
After serving the porridge and vegetables on the table, Zhou Mu began to eat slowly.
Although he chewed slowly, Zhou Mu ate quite quickly. After all, he only needed to drink the porridge. He only ate half of the plate of stir-fried vegetables.
For the appetite of an old man, especially an old man who was about to die, eating so much was enough.
"My mouth has already faded. If it was in the past, sigh…"
Zhou Mu sighed helplessly. He was originally a person who would not be happy without spicy food. If there was nothing to his liking, he would rather eat Lao Gan Ma Bibimbap.
However, with his current body, it was not up to him.
If he continued to eat like before, he would probably be able to report to the King of Hell in less than three days.
As the saying went, it was better to live a lazy life than to die a good death. One day was one day. Even at this point, Zhou Mu was not willing to deliberately seek death.
Heaven never forsakes a way out.
After all, even something as ridiculous as transmigration and cheating had happened to him. He shouldn't have died so carelessly, right?
"Let's go for a walk."
After washing the dishes, Zhou Mu went to the outside of the Taoist temple for a walk to digest his food.
In the past, he did not have the habit of taking a walk after dinner.
However, his 80-year-old body had to take a walk after eating to digest. If he sat down without doing anything, he would feel uncomfortable.
After arriving at the foot of the mountain, Zhou Mu looked around. Although this Taoist temple was built on the mountain, it was not completely unrelated to the outside world.
On the contrary, after walking down the mountain road from the Taoist temple for a hundred to two hundred meters, there was a spacious cement road. Following this road, they would reach the town about two kilometers away.
The town, Songluo Town, had a complete infrastructure, including supermarkets, drugstores, small restaurants, primary schools, junior high schools, health centers, and various shops. Basically, it could meet the daily needs.
At the very least, there were express delivery outlets. He could buy anything he wanted online.
However, for an old man like Zhou Mu, two kilometers was a considerable amount of exercise.
Therefore, he only chose to stroll around the foot of the mountain before returning to the Taoist temple and lying on the armchair to bask in the sun.
"Hmm? This is…"
According to his usual practice, Zhou Mu would open the attribute panel from time to time to study it, wanting to see if there were any functions that he had not discovered.
What disappointed him was that no matter how he tried in the past, there was no change in the attribute panel.
But today, the attribute panel finally changed!
Name: Zhou Mu
Age: 81
[Lifespan: 29 days]
[Stamina: 3.1 (Strength, Endurance, Speed, Agility related.] [Note: 10 points for a normal person, no longer shown]
[Energy: 2.9 (related to primordial qi, thoughts, consciousness, and emotions.] [Note: 10 points for a normal person, no longer shown]
[Cultivation Method: Eight Vajra Techniques (Beginner 91/100)]
[Attribute Points: 0.1]
When he saw the changes in the attribute panel, Zhou Mu's hand trembled. He lost his grip and the thermos in his hand flew out. With a clang, the wolfberries and red dates in the thermos spilled all over the ground.
