The Xuandi he saw in front of him was no longer human-like, with sunken eyes, wrinkled skin and many spots, like a mummy.
Chen Changsheng couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he saw him for the first time.
He was wondering what Xuan Di had experienced in these years, and why he had turned himself into such a human being and a ghost.
And where did the purple clothes come from?
Xuandi, who was sitting like a withered bone, suddenly stood up.
Wangyu rushed to the cave, and when he saw his master standing up, his eyes widened.
"Master, you..."
For so many years, Master has never stood up, but today...
Xuandi's pace was particularly slow, and he would startle every time he moved forward.
Upon seeing this, Wangyu quickly went up to help him.
With his support, Xuandi walked up to Chen Changsheng.
"First, first..."
Xuandi's voice was weak, and his sunken eyes stared closely at Mr. Qingshan in front of him.
"gentlemen……"
Chen Changsheng raised his hand and used a wisp of wind to stabilize Xuandi's figure.
Xuandi was startled and wanted to open his mouth to say something, but it seemed particularly difficult.
Wangyu beside him was extremely worried, but he was also curious about the background of the person in front of him, and why he made his master so excited despite his young age.
Chen Changsheng asked: "How is it down the mountain?"
Xuan Di struggled to speak, but Chen Changsheng stretched out his finger and touched the center of his eyebrows.
But in the blink of an eye, Xuandi felt that his thoughts were pulled out and he arrived in a mysterious place.
To his surprise, the physical pain also faded away at this moment.
Xuandi glanced down at himself, holding his hand and passing through.
There was horror in his eyes, but it quickly subsided.
Xuandi took a deep breath and said, "It's all good up and down the mountain."
After hearing this, Chen Changsheng said: "Chen thought you could say nothing good."
Xuandi smiled helplessly: "I did think so when I came down the mountain, but now I think it's pretty good."
But in the outside world, Wangyu stared blankly.
"Master?" "Master?"
Wangyu suddenly panicked when he realized that he couldn't wake up the master no matter what.
Then he went to push Mr. Qingshan in front of him.
But when he stretched out his hand, he felt a force blowing him away.
Wang Yu fell to the ground, his eyes filled with shock.
And in that void.
For the first time in so many years, Xuandi felt so relaxed and freed from physical hardship. This feeling of freedom could not help but make his eyes turn red.
Chen Changsheng said: "You seem to have experienced a lot of hardships over the years."
Xuandi said: "It's all your own fault."
"Why do you say that?" Chen Changsheng asked.
Xuandi breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Senior brother, he is obsessed with wealth and power and confuses the emperor. Junior brother respects the master's teachings and inheritance of Taoism, but I... am trapped in the way of immortality and cannot extricate myself."
"After going down the mountain, my senior brother and I parted ways. What we saw was the colorful world. After we really walked through it, we realized that this so-called world is just like the dead bones of beautiful women. I felt that the end was coming, and I was unwilling to accept it. I took steps to seek immortality. Dao Dao, first go to the ancient zombie tomb to obtain the blood of the corpse, and then use the blood method to pour it into yourself. Although you can extend your life, you have become like a human being and a ghost."
Chen Changsheng frowned after hearing this, "Gu Zhan..."
For so long, he has never seen ghosts, gods, demons, or real dragons in this world, but he has never seen Zombie, and has always treated it as if it does not exist.
Xuandi nodded and said: "It's just a fake immortality. After this method, I can no longer see the light. Corpse spots began to grow on my body. The air of death filled my body. As time went by, my thoughts began to be affected. I reacted to human blood." Out of greed."
"That's when I realized how wrong I was."
Chen Changsheng raised his head and said, "What happened next?"
"We have to make up for it..."
Xuandi murmured: "I searched thousands of miles to find an ascetic monk who could teach me how to calm my thoughts. Later, with the help of my senior brother, I got a martial arts and blood refining method from the Dajing Library, and then I used the corpse poison Suppress it temporarily."
"The Xuandi you see now is pretty good."
Chen Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief and said: "That day at Liuyun Temple, Chen thought that in the future, you two would be able to see the ultimate happiness in the world, and it would be great to die a happy death. He never thought about it, but it never came to his mind."
Xuandi said: "Mr. Chen, there are really too many unsatisfactory things in life. It is not easy to die a good death. As a person who lives forever, can you dare to say that you will definitely die a good death in the future?"
"I don't dare." Chen Changsheng said.
Xuandi smiled and said: "That's right, so it's something that even sir can't understand, let alone a nobody like me."
"I just regret that I understood it too late, took immortality too seriously, and took everything so naturally. If not, I would have walked away with a smile on my face and lived up to this life."
Chen Changsheng looked at him and asked, "If you had it to do over again, would you really have a happy ending?"
Xuan Di was slightly startled after hearing this, but after thinking for a moment, he sighed.
"Maybe not."
Chen Changsheng nodded and said: "The more you understand, the more unwilling you are. On the contrary, the more confused you are, the more happy you are with this life."
Xuan nodded and said, "What you said makes perfect sense."
He did not ask his husband about immortality.
Xuandi thought through these years of suffering. Now he is no longer obsessed with immortality. The only thing he wants is the young apprentice, and the second is to live a more dignified life.
Xuandi breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Unexpectedly, Xuandi will be able to see Mr. again when he is dying. It will give him a little more comfort before he dies."
Chen Changsheng murmured: "Really..."
Xuandi nodded and said: "Of course, sir, we are old friends. How can we not be happy to see old friends again?"
Chen Changsheng looked at him and shook his head, wanting to say something, but the words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't say anything.
If we talk about sympathy, there seems to be nothing to sympathize with.
As Xuan Di himself said, all of this is his own fault.
It’s all the path you choose.
Chen Changsheng asked: "Since you seek immortality, have you never thought of returning to Liuyunguan to find Chen in these years?"
Xuandi smiled and said: "If it's for immortality, Xuandi doesn't think he can see you. Since you can't see him, why go there?"
What he said was absolutely correct. Given Chen Changsheng's temperament, he would either not see it, or if he did see it, Xuandi would just return in vain.
"Did Xuandi say something wrong?" Xuandi asked.
Chen Changsheng shook his head and said, "No."
Xuandi is half like Xuantian, and half is like Xuanhuang, neither up nor down. It seems that this is why he became the most miserable person.
Xuandi smiled and said: "That's it. Besides, I'm no longer a mountain person, so why would I have the dignity to go back to the mountain?"
