time flies.
Eight years have passed since Li Aotian became Nantian's disciple.
He is eighteen years old.
At the age of eighteen, the birthday girl was already at the age where a man could marry a woman. At this age, Li Aotian happened to have his eye on a girl in her twenties and eighties.
The girl’s name is Yan Xinxin.
She is the most beautiful woman in the city.
No.
It’s not just the capital city where Li Aotian is located.
Even if you look at the entire Zhou Dynasty, no one can compare with Yan Xinxin's beauty.
The most beautiful woman deserves the best talent.
So Li Aotian and Yan Xinxin came together naturally.
…
Today is the wedding day of Li Aotian and Yan Xinxin.
The Li family is a royal family.
Li Mingqi, the head of the Li family, is the eldest brother of Li Tang, the current emperor of Zhou Dynasty.
With the prestige of the Li family in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and with Li Aotian's unparalleled talent and fame, almost all the monks in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty came to the wedding.
The capital of the Great Zhou Kingdom, Li Mansion.
In Li Aotian's room.
My head hurts.
In a daze, Chengshuo opened his eyes again.
The next second, a flood of memories flooded into his mind - these memories were all the bits and pieces that Li Aotian had experienced in the past month.
Don't know why.
In the past eight years, Chengshuo would wake up in Li Aotian's sea of consciousness almost every once in a while.
Then accept everything Li Aotian has experienced during this period and share memories with him.
It's like, Chengsheng is really Li Aotian.
It is another personality of Li Aotian.
"Husband,"
in the room.
Seeing the thoughtful look in Li Aotian's eyes, Yan Xinxin, who was wearing a long red dress, said angrily: "Were you affected by the living personality again just now?"
As couples get along for a long time, they will become less and less concerned about their own image.
Yan Xinxin, who is the most beautiful person in the Zhou Dynasty, is no exception.
After she entered the room, she lay down directly on Li Aotian's big bed, pressing the red dress that took her a long time to put on into wrinkles.
She crossed her legs and said carelessly: "I said, on such an important day, you must not let Cheng come out."
"This is out of my control."
Li Aotian put Yan Xinxin's legs in his arms, smiled fondly and said: "After all, the appearance of the surviving Taoist friends is beyond my control."
"But then again." Li Aotian turned around and said: "Whether it's Cheng Sheng or Li Aotian, it's actually me, so is it necessary to separate the two of us?"
"Of course it's necessary."
Yan Xinxin said with a hint of disgust in her tone: "Your adult personality is too old. When you get along with him, it feels like you are facing my father."
"Moreover, he only knows about cultivation all day long, and his personality is very cold, as if nothing around him can interest him."
"It's not that he's not good."
"But" Yan Xinxin thought for a moment and said, "In short, it's just not as good as you!"
"Ah,"
Li Aotian shook his head with a smile and said: "But I can be where I am today, and I can have the cultivation I am now, all because of my surviving Taoist friends."
"Without the diligence and hard work of a living personality, I would have just relied on my cynical personality. Not to mention breaking through to the Golden Core stage at the age of eighteen, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to break through to the Foundation Building stage."
"I don't care." Yan Xinxin curled her lips and said, "Anyway, I am marrying you, not your living personality."
"Okay, okay." Li Aotian did not retort: "You can marry whoever you want, so I will ask fellow Taoist Chengshuo later to make sure he doesn't show up at the critical moment. Is that okay?"
Somehow.
When Li Aotian's personality appeared, he always liked to remain silent. At this moment, he suddenly replied out of nowhere: "Okay, I promise not to show up during the wedding."
"What's the sound?" Li Aotian couldn't help but trembled when he heard a voice ringing in his ears.
He looked around, trying to find the 'living Taoist friend' whom he had never met before, but who was extremely familiar with each other.
But except for him and Yan Xinxin, there was no one else in the room.
"Aotian, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that Li Aotian was acting a little abnormal, Yan Xinxin asked with concern.
"I just seemed to hear the voice of the surviving Taoist friend." Li Aotian said uncertainly: "But it's possible, it's just an illusion."
"Let's not talk about this anymore." In order not to look too abnormal, Li Aotian changed the subject and said: "It's getting late, let's go out quickly, I guess we will have to worship later."
Monks are different from ordinary people.
Most of them are not bound by common etiquette and do not take it seriously.
For example, most monks would not abide by rules such as 'Newcomers cannot be alone together before worshiping'.
That's why Li Aotian and Yan Xinxin were alone at this time.
After the two of them had a fight in the room, they went to the lobby of the house talking and laughing.
It is said to be a lobby, but it is actually a palace.
The Li family is extremely powerful and wealthy, and the palace on their residence is so big that it can accommodate nearly 10,000 monks at once.
From Li Aotian's perspective, as soon as Chengshuo arrived at the main hall of the Li Mansion, he felt waves of incense lingering and colorful mist.
This is the real place of the immortal family, and the scene of its prosperous times is completely different from the Daliang Kingdom where it lives.
Looking around, there are phoenix-tailed phoenixes flying mistyly on the main hall, and there are golden flowers and jade biscuits floating and falling.
The guests sat on a multicolored gold table and used a thousand-flower jasper basin.
On the table are dragon liver and phoenix marrow, bear paws and orangutan lips, delicacies and exotic fruits.
All the guests who can come here for the banquet know etiquette.
Although the dishes have been served, the guests are not in a hurry to use their chopsticks. Instead, they watch the two newcomers Li Aotian and Yan Xinxin pay their respects.
The process of getting married in the Zhou Kingdom is very similar to that of the Liang Kingdom and the ancient times on earth.
In the main hall.
Just as Li Aotian and Yan Xinxin were worshiping, they suddenly saw a boy outside the hall shouting: "Old man Nantian is here!"
Following the source of the sound, all the guests looked outside the hall.
As the hosts, Li Aotian's parents, Li Mingqi and Ning Zijun, inadvertently frowned.
After all, it is extremely rude to ask the servants to interrupt the newlyweds by shouting.
But considering that old man Nantian may not know about it, he may not know that Li Aotian is getting married to Yan Xinxin.
In addition, Old Man Nantian was Li Aotian's mentor, so Li Mingqi and Ning Zijun didn't say much.
Among them, Li Mingqi stood up from the main seat, greeted the old man Nantian with a smile and said: "The head of the Li family, Li Mingqi, has met senior Nantian!"
He wondered: "Senior Nan Tian has been in seclusion, why did he suddenly come to the banquet without saying hello in advance so that I could be prepared."
"Ah,"
What surprised Li Mingqi was that the old man Nantian who came to the banquet suddenly changed his previous enthusiastic attitude.
He only chuckled at Li Mingqi's greeting, then patted the storage bag on his waist and took out an hourglass magic weapon.
This hourglass magic weapon is very common in the Zhou Dynasty and is used by monks to tell time.
Old Nan Tian stared at the hourglass in his hand and said meaningfully: "Count the time, after noon today, Aotian will be officially eighteen years old."
"What?" Li Mingqi was stunned when he heard this, subconsciously feeling that Old Nan Tian was a little weird.
But he saw old man Nan Tian thinking to himself: "Eighteen years ago, I calculated that your Li family would give birth to a Qilin son, and he would be born with the body of a demon."
"A monk with a demonic body can draw power from indescribable creatures without using any skills or treasures."
"Not only that."
"The Qilin son born to your Li family also has a talent for cultivation that is unmatched by ordinary people, as well as an understanding that is unique among all people."
The Qilinzi mentioned by the old man Nantian refers to Li Aotian.
Everyone knows that Nascent Soul's old monster Nan Tian is very good at calculations, so he was able to calculate Li Aotian's fate. The monks present did not find it strange.
Everyone said nothing, just waiting for Old Man Nantian to continue.
But I heard the latter continue: "But these are not enough, so I personally came to the Li family and suggested that the head of the Li family, Li Mingqi, name this Qilin son 'Aotian'. "
"In this way, this child will have the destiny of the 'Supreme Supreme' after having the body of a demon, extremely high cultivation talent and understanding."
"I have spent a lot of money to calculate it." At this point, Nantian old man showed a hint of fanaticism in his eyes and said: "Those who have the destiny of 'Supreme Supreme' are destined to break through the bottleneck of the Nascent Soul stage and reach unprecedented levels. A higher realm that a monk has ever reached!"
"And only people with such a destiny are qualified to be the body of my old man Nantian!"
"Body?!" Li Mingqi was shocked when he heard this.
"Master," Li Aotian subconsciously distanced himself from the old man Nantian.
In fact, it’s not just people from the Li family.
After hearing old man Nan Tian say the word 'body', the guests in the Li Mansion hall all showed shocked expressions.
The whole place was in an uproar.
Li Mingqi looked even more wary and said: "Senior Nantian, what do you mean by what you just said? It seems that this is not the right time to make such a joke, right?"
"I don't have time to joke with you."
The old man Nantian said with a serious face: "Throughout the ages, it has been known to all that monks practice on their own, breathing in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth every day, first practicing Qi, then building the foundation, and then forming elixirs to transform into infants, regardless of their talents and understanding. No matter how high it is, you will only be able to break through to the Nascent Soul stage in your lifetime."
"The Nascent Soul stage is the end of the path of cultivation."
"But the lifespan of a Yuanying Stage monk cannot last more than a thousand years."
Old Nantian continued: "So, in order to break through to a higher realm and live longer, I thought of a way to absorb the power of indescribable creatures."
"Absorbing the power of indescribable creatures?" Li Mingqi said in shock: "But it has only been a few hundred years since the discovery of indescribable creatures in the world of cultivation."
"Whether this creature can help monks break through to a higher realm, or whether it can make people fall into madness, there is no conclusion yet."
"Senior Nantian, if you come into contact with this existence rashly, aren't you afraid that you will become crazy and murderous, and that you will be infamous until you die?"
"I don't care!" Old Nantian's tone suddenly rose: "After I die, I won't care about the flood!"
"I just want to live now, I just want to break through to a higher realm, and then live longer. I don't care about anything else!"
In the main hall.
As the old man Nantian said, he suddenly smiled meaningfully at Li Aotian.
Even as a bystander, Chengsheng felt full of malice from this smile.
Old Nan Tian said to Li Aotian: "Aotian, do you know why I had to wait until you were eighteen before taking action instead of taking your body from the beginning?"
Li Aotian didn't speak, but kept a certain distance from the old man Nan Tian, focusing on him with a look of caution.
Although he is a genius among the younger generation, even though he has a golden elixir level cultivation.
But when facing old man Nantian, an old monster in the Nascent Soul stage, the Golden Core stage seemed a bit inadequate.
compare to.
Old man Nantian behaved calmly and calmly.
He asked himself and answered: "The reason why I kept you until the age of eighteen is just because most of the methods of seizing a body in the spiritual world are imperfect."
"The imperfect method of seizing the body will not only affect the talent of your body, but will also leave a lot of sequelae after I successfully seize the body."
"The perfect way to seize a body"
Old Man Nantian said: "The perfect method of seizing a body requires the active cooperation of the person being taken away and the willingness to give up the body."
"That's why I kept you until you were eighteen."
"Now you have a lover, parents, and friends. These have become your bonds in the world."
In the main hall.
After hearing these words, some guests immediately realized that something was wrong and immediately fled out of the hall without hesitation.
But he saw old man Nan Tian reaching out and shining a golden light on the back of the fleeing monk.
The latter was pierced through the heart by golden light and died suddenly on the spot.
After this scene, no one in the Li family hall dared to escape again
Old Nantian looked around.
He was very satisfied with the performance of the monks, so he continued: "And it is precisely because of these bonds that when you, Aotian, were taken away from you, you would take the initiative to surrender in order to protect the people around you. In this way, I You can get an almost perfect body.”
"Ao Tian."
Old Nan Tian said to Li Aotian in an extremely kind and kind tone: "You should do what I said, not resist, and surrender on your own initiative, right?"
"You probably don't want to see the monks in this hall and the people around you die tragically one by one, right?"
Old Nantian stepped forward in a flash.
Before Li Aotian could react, he reached out and patted Li Aotian's shoulder: "Aotian, if you don't want everyone around you to be killed, then kneel down. This will also make it easier for me to use the blood sacrifice method to seize your body. Hurry up. Let’s make a decision, I don’t want to wait too long.”
have to say.
Nantian, the Nascent Soul monster who has lived for nearly a thousand years, is indeed very good at grasping people's hearts.
He used family affection and love to easily hold Li Aotian in the palm of his hand
After being threatened by Old Man Nantian, Li Aotian glanced at Yan Xinxin and his parents beside him, and then said helplessly: "I am willing to cooperate with you, but how can you guarantee that after you seize the body, you will let Xinxin go and return it?" Where are my parents?"
"Aotian!" Seeing that Li Aotian was about to sacrifice himself, Yan Xinxin subconsciously wanted to stop him.
But before she could say anything, she was stopped by Li Aotian with a wave of his hand.
at the same time.
The old man Nantian raised his right hand and swore: "I swear by my Taoist heart that after I successfully seize the body, I will never take the initiative to take action against the Li family members or Yan Xinxin, otherwise I will suffer the backlash from my Taoist heart and die."
"How is it?" After saying that, he stretched out his right hand towards Li Aotian and said: "I have sworn like this, you should be satisfied, right?"
"Okay." Li Aotian closed his eyes and resigned, "Just do it!"
"Hey," Old Nantian looked happy and pressed his right hand towards Li Aotian's spiritual cover.
'Snapped'!
However, the moment Old Nan Tian pressed down his hand, Li Aotian's expression suddenly changed and he stood up from the ground.
His whole temperament gradually became deep and crazy, and he said to himself: "I'm sorry, fellow Taoist Aotian, I promised you not to show up at your wedding."
"But now it seems I have to break my promise."
