After Lingqing and Lu Dongbin returned home, their parents were stunned when they heard that Lu Dongbin was going to give up his fame and become an immortal.
How come these two of them want to become immortals?
However, seeing how serious Lu Dongbin was, his parents thought he was frustrated in the imperial examination and wanted to escape.
Anyway, he already has a fourth son who is cultivating immortality. As the twin brother, it is not incomprehensible that he also embarks on the path of cultivation.
Besides, the road to immortality is difficult and difficult, and when he can't bear it anymore, he will just take the exam to gain fame.
It wouldn't hurt to give him a two-year break.
So there was no more obstruction.
"Since both of you brothers have to practice cultivation, I hope you can support each other in the future. After all, you are brothers for life." Lu Rang looked at Lu Dongbin and Ling Qing and told them.
"Yes, brothers are of the same mind, and their sharpness can break through metal." The two of them bowed.
Then Lu Dongbin began to experience strange things one after another.
First, the whole family suddenly died suddenly. Lu Dongbin saw through the world and realized that life and death are impermanent, so he bought a coffin to contain his family.
Unexpectedly, his family suddenly came back to life, and he realized that this was the first trial given to him by Han Zhongli.
Later, on a whim, he took the items to sell on the street and negotiated a price. However, the other party suddenly regretted accepting the goods and was only willing to pay half of the price.
Lu Dongbin didn't care, simply gave the things to the other party for free without taking any money, and left with a peaceful face.
He passed the trials one after another.
But on Lingqing's side, there was no movement.
He wasn't in a hurry, he just concentrated on practicing and at the same time used the Immortal Killing Sword to kill the love demon from time to time.
This love demon is as continuous as water and like a snare. It is constantly being cut down and confused.
If you are not careful, you will get entangled with it.
But fortunately, when the Zhu Xian Sword was first refined into a sword embryo, he used the crystal silk spider talisman as a sacrifice, so that the murderous aura in it was as silky and pure as crystal.
No matter how the love demon changes, he cannot escape the seal of the Immortal Killing Sword.
Moreover, the Killing Immortal Sword is very sharp with murderous intent. No matter how difficult it is to cut off the love-devil's love thread, it can cut it off with just one cut.
It's just that the Zhuxian Sword Qi is himself, and this love demon is also himself.
While the roots of the love demon are still intact, the thread of love is broken and renewed, cut and resurrected, but the Immortal Killing Sword cannot completely kill it after all.
A pair of autumn eyes flashed before Ling Qing's eyes, and the love thread that had just been severed was reborn again.
"It's also a dream, it's also an illusion, it's both fake and real?" he murmured.
"When it's true, it's also false. When it's true, it's false. When it's true, it's false." The eyes in front of him suddenly became clear, and a young woman appeared in front of him.
"The evil thought in your heart, if you regard it as true, then it is true. When it exists, it exists.
It is better to give up these things and have no worries, and you will see clearly that this truth is actually false, and what is there is nothing. "
"Xiugu?" Lingqing looked at her and blurted out.
"I am not Xiu Gu, but He Xiangu." He Xiangu looked at him and said with a smile: "Dreams are fake after all, and you cannot have false thoughts."
"I also understand, but I didn't expect that this situation would involve disaster.
Now I can't help myself. "Ling Qing's eyes cleared up and he nodded.
He knew that he was not in love with He Xiangu in front of him, nor was he in love with He Xiugu in his dream.
But Lu Daoqing in the dream has feelings for He Xiugu in the dream.
But now this love has actually triggered the emotional calamity in him, and he has turned him into a love demon.
So much so that even if he really had a vigorous love affair with He Xiangu like Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian, he still wouldn't be able to survive this calamity.
Because the root cause is not in the two people,
But on "Lu Daoqing" and "He Xiugu".
"It's the best if you understand." Seeing him like this, He Xiangu breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
There is no love in her heart, there is only the great love in the world.
But she still felt sorry for causing Ling Qing to fall into a love crisis because of them.
I originally thought that if it was directly stated that it was just a trial, it was not real.
This will make Ling Qing, who is caught in a love crisis, feel that he has been deceived and become paranoid.
Unexpectedly, he understood the truth so well and could see the fate clearly.
This made her secretly feel that this love disaster was not that difficult.
Among the Eight Immortals, Lu Dongbin's calamity is love, and he has to survive the calamity of love for thousands of years.
Because Lingqing is connected to his Qi, he is affected by it and also suffers from emotional calamity.
But He Xiangu's fate lies in her delusion.
Those who are delusional are chaotic, crazy and reckless.
Chaotic, absurd, easily deceived, and also arrogant.
It is precisely because He Xiangu has great love and at the same time has delusions in her heart.
Sometimes, you can't help but act a little arrogantly. After you have determined the truth, you have to suffer a loss before you can temporarily see yourself clearly.
If you cannot conquer your delusional mind, you will naturally face many difficulties in the future.
At this time, due to Ling Qing's firm mind, she somewhat misjudged the power of love calamity.
Therefore, she was ready to help Lingqing survive this love crisis.
“After all, it was us who caused your disaster.
Is there anything I can do to help you? Just ask. He Xiangu looked at Ling Qing and said.
"The Xuannv sword technique taught by my master is powerful in killing demons.
How about I help you kill the love demon? "
He Xiangu’s master is Empress Jiutian Xuannv.
Not all what she said in the dream were lies. When she was a child, she received the guidance of Empress Xuannv, ate mica powder, became light and healthy, and ran as fast as flying.
Later, her friend Fei Changfang was persecuted by the green bull spirit and pangolin spirit.
Not only did she risk her life to save her friend, but she also saved his life out of gratitude for the pangolin demon's kindness.
Since then, he has been guided back to his throne by the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady, becoming the fifth of the Eight Immortals to return to his throne.
He also gave her a Xuannv sword and a Xuannv sword technique.
"No need, this love demon is the inner demon, and I can't get rid of it unless I cut off the love thread with my own sword of wisdom.
If you come here, not only will you not be able to help, but you may also get into trouble together. "Ling Qing shook his head and refused.
"You can conquer the calamity of love, how can I fall into it?" He Xiangu said in disbelief: "What's the harm in trying?"
After that, let Lingqing release the love demon and kill it for her.
"Since you insist on trying, let me show you so that you can learn from it in the future.
I know the horror of inner demons. "Ling Qing couldn't be bothered by her, so he had to stretch out his finger and tap her forehead.
Suddenly, He Xiangu felt that the scenery in front of her changed, and she came to a peach blossom forest.
There is a figure standing alone among the fallen flowers.
"This is my love demon." Ling Qing came to her side and said.
"As long as you kill it, you can survive this love crisis?" He Xiangu asked.
Ling Qing nodded, shook his head and said: "Beheading him can save you from the disaster, but it is not that easy to kill him.
This cannot be accomplished by magical powers. "
"I'll meet him first." He Xiangu stretched out her hand, and a sword appeared in her hand. It was the Xuannv Sword given by Xuannv of the Nine Heavens.
"Look at the sword, demon!" She threw the sword, and Xuannv's sword turned into a sword light and slashed at the love demon.
Feeling the Qi behind him, Qing Mo turned around suddenly, with dissatisfaction in his eyes.
However, the moment he saw He Xiangu, he suddenly turned into tenderness and allowed Xuannv's sword to pierce his heart.
The love demon's mouth was bleeding, and his eyes were filled with tenderness as he watched He Xiangu slowly fall to the ground.
This scene made Ling Qing shake his head.
Not only because He Xiangu's move was useless, but also because she didn't expect that her love demon would look like this.
Like an infatuated licking dog.
You have to cut it out yourself, otherwise if you fall into love tribulation, it will become like this.
Even if he survived the disaster, he was still determined to commit suicide and rebuild.
As he expected, the Love Demon fell to the ground and turned into a pink mist, petals flying in the air, and another figure appeared from it.
It is the love demon.
"I don't believe it, my Xuannv Sword can't kill the devil like you?" He Xiangu was unwilling to accept it, and she raised the Xuannv Sword again to kill the love demon.
The love demon died by the sword again, without fighting back and willingly.
He Xiangu chopped it off again and again, again and again.
In the end, she gradually couldn't bear it when she looked at the love demon with a smile on his face and who was willing to die in her hands.
The thought of drawing the sword slowly began to hesitate.
When she slashed out the Xuannv Sword again, the sword light deflected and failed to kill the love demon.
However, the love demon held Xuannv's sword and stabbed his heart with his backhand, watching her fall gently.
He Xiangu was stunned for a moment and watched blankly as the love demon manifested again, but she still didn't take action.
Uh-huh!
A sword filled with pure murderous intent flew out and killed the love demon.
And the mist transformed by the love demon was firmly nailed to a peach tree, making it impossible for it to escape.
The mist manifested the sorrowful expression of the love demon, looking at He Xiangu.
He Xiangu couldn't bear it and subconsciously wanted to let it go.
Suddenly a voice sounded from her ears, "How? Without the sword of wisdom that can cut off love and thoughts, even such a killing sword cannot cut off the thread of love."
She turned around and saw him looking blankly at the struggling love demon.
The faces were exactly the same, but one was indifferent and the other was sad, which made her feel a little confused.
'This seems to be the same person! '
The two faces merged into each other in her mind, and suddenly turned into a big hand blocking her eyes.
That was the hand she saw after "death" in Huang Liang's dream.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Another questioning voice woke her up. He Xiangu came back to her senses and saw Ling Qing waving his hand in front of her eyes.
"It's okay, I didn't expect this love demon to be so difficult to kill." He Xiangu said with a forced smile.
"Surviving tribulations means practicing cultivation. If you want to become an immortal, you must ultimately cultivate with devotion and accumulate merit.
And if you want to save your inner demons, you also need to find out the root cause and then resolve it. "
Ling Qing explained to her: "Whether it's a love disaster or an inner demon, the most important thing is to avoid getting involved too much.
Now that I have refined the love calamity into a love demon, all I have to do is find the right opportunity to refine it.
You don’t have to worry or feel guilty.
Even without you, this disaster will still come.
On the contrary, I want to thank you for allowing me to see this disaster in advance. "
"Well, if you need my help in any way, just ask." He Xiangu dismissed the distracting thoughts in her mind and said with a smile: "I believe you can quickly kill the love demon and survive the love disaster.
In this way, the Eight Immortals gather together to resolve this evil disaster in the world. "
"Can you tell me what this demonic calamity is?" Ling Qing asked with a thought in his heart.
To be honest, although he knew about the Eight Immortals becoming immortals and the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, he really didn't know what other evil catastrophes there were.
