The boy followed Zhu Weiping, and that day, heavy snow fell like feathers in the sky in June.
Zhang Daoling watched Zhu Weiping take the boy away. He didn't stop him. He felt relieved, but he seemed to have lost something.
Since then, there has been no news from Zhu Weiping and the boy.
Until several years later, there was still heavy snowfall in the sky.
On this day, a man came to the Taoist Temple. He was so distraught that he rushed into the Taoist Temple.
"Master, Master..." A sad voice filled the Taoist temple.
Hearing a familiar voice, Zhang Daoling walked out of the room not long after and said, "Weiping, what's wrong with you?"
The man was clearly Zhu Weiping.
Seeing Zhang Daoling, Zhu Weiping knelt in the snow and said: "Master, Xiao Che, he is dead..."
Hearing this, Zhang Daoling's heart skipped a beat. After a moment, he spoke, "I knew this day would come, but this day came too quickly."
Zhu Weiping was startled when he heard Zhang Daoling's words. He pulled Zhang Daoling back and said hysterically: "Why why, Master, you knew earlier, why didn't you save him?"
Looking at the hysterical disciples, Zhang Daoling felt sad. He slowly said, "My master said that the law of heaven cannot be violated."
"The way of heaven, the way of heaven!" Zhu Weiping roared: "Is the way of heaven really so important? Master, with your ability, what can the way of heaven do to you? You refused to save Xiao Che, you killed him, you are the executioner !”
Zhang Daoling felt a twinge of bitterness in his heart, and he was also asking himself, "Is the way of heaven really that important?"
He clearly knew the fate of the child. With a few changes, he could give the child a good life, or at least allow the child to avenge his family.
He knew the child's past and why he came to worship him as his teacher.
The child was born into an ordinary family in a remote mountain village. His life was not rich but warm.
One day, bandits from the mountains broke into the mountain village and slaughtered the entire village. Only the child survived.
From then on, hatred filled the child's mind.
He heard that in a Taoist temple thousands of miles away, there was an immortal who could ascend to heaven and earth, and could control thunder.
Therefore, the child traveled across mountains and rivers for an unknown amount of time, wore out many shoes, and suffered many injuries. Finally, the child came to the Taoist Temple.
But he had calculated that he had no fate with this child, at least not in this life.
"I don't know whether the way of heaven is important, but the way of heaven concerns all living beings. As a teacher, I can't be so selfish." Zhang Daoling sighed.
"That's it." Zhu Weiping calmed down. He sat helplessly in the snow, letting the wind and snow drown him.
"Master, if I die, please bury me and Xiao Che together." Zhu Weiping spoke slowly, his eyes filled with despair.
After several years of getting along with him, he had already regarded the smart and filial child as his own son, because he had a similar experience to himself, but his fate was different.
Zhang Daoling was silent, looking at his beloved disciple, and silently made a decision in his heart.
When night came, Zhang Daoling came to the child's grave.
"My child, you and I are not destined to be together in this life, but in the next life, and the next life, and the next life... we will all be destined, and I will do everything in my power to compensate you." Zhang Daoling murmured.
Then, Zhang Daoling poured a beam of immortal power into the child's body, cutting off the cause and effect of this life and laying the foundation for the future.
"How...how could this happen?" Suddenly, Zhang Daoling exclaimed, feeling an irresistible force erasing the cause and effect he had planted.
"No!" Zhang Daoling frowned and used all his magical power to fight against this unstoppable force.
In the end, Zhang Daoling spurted blood from his mouth, finally planting cause and effect on the child.
But...it's very faint. If you don't deliberately look for him, you can't light up this cause and effect.
"In that case, I will wander around the world to find him." Zhang Daoling said to himself.
...
However, in every subsequent life, there were problems.
In the first life, when Zhang Daoling arrived, the child was already married and had children, and had a happy family.
In the second life, when Zhang Daoling arrived, the child was already very old and died soon after.
In the third life, when Zhang Daoling arrived, the child had already become a genius, leading the trend of the world.
In the fourth life, when Zhang Daoling arrived, the child had just been born, but he contracted a strange disease and died within a minute of his birth.
The fifth life...
The sixth life...
It wasn't until the ninth life that Zhang Daoling tried his best to capture the child's aura in reincarnation, so he made arrangements in advance.
That child is naturally Bai Che.
The strange thing is that his name in every life is Bai Che, and no one knows why.
The scene cuts, Zhang Daoling has taken Jin Ling towards the depths of the starry sky.
...
At this moment, Bai Che sat cross-legged under the peach tree and looked at Zhang Daoling's leaving figure. He always felt a sense of familiarity, as if he had seen him a long time ago. For some reason, an inexplicable tear fell from his eyes.
Unable to figure out the reason, Bai Che took out the flat peach, preparing to recover from his injuries and improve his strength.
Of course, the most important thing is that it will take less than a year to solve the longevity problem. It is scary to think about it. He does not want to die young.
"You still need to be prepared first." Bai Che murmured to himself, and with a thought, he took back the fifteen god-level puppets, leaving only one red-robed puppet guarding the peach tree, and invested several top-quality coins in advance. Lingshi, ordered the red-robed puppet to be on guard.
Bai Che also arranged a small phantom formation. He sat in the formation and was careful to sail the ten-thousand-year ship.
After all, there are countless dangers in the ruins, not to mention the presence of other human monks.
After doing all this, Bai Che took a bite of the peach pulp, and the rich and sweet juice immediately filled his mouth.
As the flat peach entered his stomach, strong medicinal power exploded. Bai Che continuously used his spiritual power to refine the medicinal power of the flat peach.
This was a magical medicine that was close to a fairy medicine, and he couldn't waste it.
The medicinal power of the flat peach was slowly refined, and every cell in Bai Che's body opened to absorb this extremely strong medicinal power.
Not long after, a warm current burst out from Bai Che's belly, and he felt itching inside his body. It was the damaged internal organs giving birth to new meat.
For a long time, Bai Che felt that the blood in his body was extremely majestic, and an extreme sense of comfort filled Bai Che's body, making him unable to help but cry out.
At the same time, he felt unprecedented energy. He could clearly feel that his life span was being replenished, and there was no longer a morbid feeling of dying struggle in his body.
His hair also changed from white to black, and he thought to himself that it was a pity, how beautiful it would be to have hair as white as snow.
Soon after, the wounds all over his body were healed, and his whole body was as smooth as jade.
"The next step is to recover and make breakthroughs in cultivation." After his injuries are healed and his lifespan is increased, the remaining medicinal power is to enhance his strength.
Bai Che continued to refine the power of the medicine, and the power of the medicine flowed towards Bai Che's limbs and bones like a flood, gradually turning into extremely pure spiritual power.
After about a stick of incense, Bai Che's cultivation returned to the "soul-casting stage".
"Now, let's work hard to break through the late soul-casting stage and enter the middle stage!" Bai Che whispered, with perseverance bursting out of his eyes.
Time passed slowly, and before I knew it, it had been three days.
Bai Che is still making breakthroughs. Three days ago, his cultivation reached the "late stage of soul casting", and the soul in his mind became more and more solid.
However, later, he was stunned. He wanted to reach the extreme state, but how to reach the extreme state during the "soul-casting period" was a question he had never thought about.
"Forging souls and casting souls means forging the soul. Can we continue to sharpen the soul to reach the extreme state of the 'soul-casting stage'?" Bai Che murmured to himself.
"But how should I hone my soul?" Bai Che frowned. He lacked the skills to hone his soul, so he thought hard.
"Perhaps..." Suddenly, a very scary thought flashed in Bai Che's mind, "If I use that medicinal plant, can it have the effect of sharpening the soul?"
Thinking of this, Bai Che took out a strange purple flower from the ring.
"The Divine Flower." Bai Che looked at this strange purple flower and murmured to himself.
As the name suggests, the so-called "God-Destroying Flower" is a flower that specializes in destroying the soul. Those who fall in love with this flower will have their souls shattered and become a walking zombie.
Of course, there were ruthless people who used it on me, and in the end they succeeded. Their souls were sharpened and they became a legend.
"The difficulty of the 'Extreme Realm' is as difficult as climbing to the sky. Since I have chosen this path, I cannot back down." Bai Che's heart crossed, and he crushed the "God of Oblivion" and drank it.
Then, he used his spiritual power to refine the medicinal power of the "God of Oblivion Flower", or to be precise, its toxicity.
"Puff..."
Bai Che vomited blood as soon as he refined the toxicity of the "Obsessed Flower". The toxicity was too strong.
Suddenly, a force hit Bai Che's soul. His soul seemed to explode, and indescribable pain formed in Bai Che's mind.
This pain is several times more painful than the "Extreme Bone Refining" pain.
Bai Che's orifices were bleeding, blue veins popped out, he was sweating profusely, his teeth were broken and blood spurted out from his mouth.
The medicinal power of flat peach is constantly repairing the broken soul, time and time again.
Bai Che's spirit was like being crushed by a stone mill, then glued together by the power of medicine, and then crushed again...
Repeatedly and repeatedly.
The severe pain almost made Bai Che faint, but he gritted his teeth and fought and persisted with strong perseverance. He knew that once he fainted, he would be considered a failure.
...
"Finally walked out of the passage, eh, is there such a beautiful scenery here?" came a voice.
"The bridge is indeed weird, especially the dark shadow that appeared at the end. If the five of us hadn't acted together, I think we would have died like those idiots." A man said.
"The hidden weapon in his hand is really hard to guard against." One person said with lingering fear.
"Grassland suddenly appeared here. Don't let down your guard. This ruins is very weird." A sinister man said.
"Giggle, of course we will be careful. Young master, little brother, you have to be more careful. If there is danger, my sister will protect you." A woman dressed in a coquettish way smiled.
