Chapter 165: The Secret of the Old Monk

The old monk understood Li Guang's thoughts and smiled, "If you have any questions, you can ask me directly!"

This was exactly what Li Guang wanted to say, and he asked about the major events that happened in the Li family back then. There were many details in these events that Li Guang's father had told him. The old monk, however, spoke and laughed confidently, answering fluently and explaining everything clearly.

Li Guang still doubted because he was the Minister of Finance of the Republic of China. The monk in front of him looked very similar to his great grandfather. If he approached him for an undisclosed purpose, it would not be difficult for him to specifically collect information about the Li family. Li Guang also asked his great grandfather about several scandals in his family during his time, including the history of murder, adultery, and looting. This is a secret that outsiders cannot know, even family members and non core individuals do not know.

The old monk still answered seamlessly, even with some omissions from Li Guang. He provided more detailed and specific time, location, and characters.

Li Guang completely dispelled all doubts and immediately knelt down on the ground, kowtowing, "Li Guang kowtowed to his great grandfather!"

The old monk smiled and said, "Do you believe me now?" But he didn't lift him up like he did just now.

Li Guang suddenly lifted his head and stared at the old and short monk, saying, "I take on the responsibility of bringing glory to my family. If you can give me another twenty years full of vitality, I am confident that I will become the President of the Republic of China and make our family the number one wealthy family in China. In order to bring glory to our ancestors and enable our descendants to live a noble life, please help me!"

The old monk nodded with a smile and said, "I have always seen your achievements over the years. I am very happy to have a great grandson like you. For so many years, you have been the only one in the Li family to come here to see me, so I will help you prolong your life. Get up!"

Li Guang quickly got up from the ground, his heart filled with warmth and excitement, and he secretly congratulated himself for coming here today. He never believed in immortality before, believing it to be a myth. Just seeing his great grandfather standing in front of him with his own eyes this time, isn't this immortality?

Li Guang learned from the family secret book that his great grandfather's name was Li Daoyuan, who was born during the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty. He doesn't like doing business and refuses to become an official. He spent his life idle and without any achievements. He wanders around all day and goes home to get it when he runs out of money.

At the age of seventy, Li Daoyuan returned home and claimed that he had been away for many years and had received a pill that could bring him back to life as long as he took it. Immediately, disregarding the opposition of his family, he swallowed the pill in front of everyone on his birthday. That night, he bled from mouth and nose, and died from poisoning.

This is the story of the ancestors recorded in the Li family genealogy, and the tragic story of Li Daoyuan is intended to serve as a warning for future generations. So the descendants of the Li family no longer pursue immortality. However, Li Guang did not expect that in the blink of an eye, his great grandfather's negative textbook would become a bright future.
