Facing the horrific scene in front of me, I felt extremely complicated. Many immortal families here were burned to ashes, and the remaining ones who could run ran away. Of course, all the instigators were killed by Jinglian. For She has an instinctive urge to kill.
It is easy for a child to distinguish between good and bad, because they do not think about what experiences the other person has had, why they did it, whether it was forced, or whether it was voluntary.
I shook my head and flew toward the top of the lamp with my sword, while Jinglian stood on the lotus platform, numbly watching the remaining bonfire burn into nothing.
"Lord, I failed to rescue most of them." Jinglian said.
I reached out and touched her head and said, "Have you tried your best?"
"I tried my best." Jinglian nodded, but showed a hint of depression.
"There are still many things that we can't do even though we try our best, and there are also many things that we can't do even though we think of them. We don't need to blame ourselves too much." I sighed and glanced at a group of immortals below the Nine Tribulations who were flying away. There was no reason in her heart to show a trace of guilt towards Jinglian.
"Why does my lord have such an expression? Did Jinglian do something wrong?" Jinglian asked.
I shook my head and smiled bitterly, and said, "After they were rescued, they all ran away because the fire was too strong. But even when you were alone, you still went forward to save people. Do you feel lonely?"
"I'm not alone, Master. If you do your own thing, you will be yourself. If you do other people's things, you will become someone else." Jinglian said.
"Well, where the Tao lies, even though thousands of people are against it, I'm going there. My child, you've done a good job." I raised my head, facing the blazing fire in front of me, the light from the sky, and what seemed like the weight of Mount Tai. The darkness!
"I remember my lord." Jinglian said calmly.
Looking at Sora, there are no strangers here anymore, and those who come down from above are obviously either from the ninth level, or from the universe where they don't know where.
Soon, the heavy smoke cloud seemed to be suppressed by something, and a burst of arrogant flames like an inverted mushroom cloud crowded near me. This gas cloud, carrying the strong lamp energy, was pressing towards the sea surface. The flames met the gas cloud, With a bang, the water surface of the sea was blown wildly, as if a storm was about to form at any time.
Because my luck blocked my sight, I waved my hand without hesitation. With the strong wind, the luck was blown back in pieces. But what surprised me was that these red and black gas clouds actually reached the center of the clouds. At that moment, it started to blow away as if it had encountered something solid!
The clouds of air that blew away revealed the presence that blocked it.
This is actually a boundary wall like a fairy city. In the boundary wall, a ruined mud layer about the size of a football field appeared in front of me. I couldn't help but be shocked. Could this be the earth that fell from Jiuzhong?
Surprised, I quickly waved my hand and blew away the clouds. It was no accident. I don’t know where the land was peeled off. It showed an irregular shape of a cone. The mud wall was not even thick, so I had to look up to see it. What does the other end look like? After all, due to the gravity fall, the heavy part is the sharp cone, and the top should be the stripped land plane!
And having a boundary wall means that there is probably something in this place that protects this land, but what exactly brings it here after traveling such an uncountable distance? What is the reason that allows it to break through everything and come here?
I took a deep breath, and then watched helplessly as this piece of land with a boundary wall fell from the sky. It felt like I was suddenly hit hard, and it made me suffocate!
Is it a sense of unknown? then what?
There was no Nine-layer Immortal flying down, but instead a piece of land flew down. This was simply beyond my imagination. As the land fell, I finally saw its blurry face clearly when it penetrated the clouds!
"This... this... is impossible!" The moment I saw the ruins, my pupils suddenly shrank, and my eyes were stunned, but after just blinking, I suddenly rushed towards this land. past!
Bang!
With one blow, I didn't break through its boundary wall, which immediately shocked me!
"Qingcheng! Are you in there! Qingcheng!" I shouted loudly, because on the ground in front of me, in addition to beautiful gardens, there were also some vigorously growing and gorgeous flowers and plants, even though these flowers and plants had already been destroyed because no one took care of them. They started to grow like crazy, but there was no doubt that they were alive!
In addition to the lush flowers, plants and fruit trees that can grow near the water, there are also some that have withered for an unknown period of time. This is a sign that it has been neglected for a long time!
On the land, there are several buildings in the backyard of the Shenting Palace. Even though the edges of the buildings are dilapidated due to the stripping of the land, the middle of the land is intact!
When I fought with Xue Qingcheng, Xia Ruize and the others on this land, how could I not remember the buildings, flowers, plants, and courtyards here? This is the back courtyard of Shenting! This is where Xue Qingcheng lives! But now, I don’t know if it was due to the bonfire, but it actually fell down!
Whoops!
The wind was getting louder and louder, and my voice wanted to penetrate the boundary wall and reach this site, but I don't know if it was the reason of the boundary wall or something else, but nothing or anyone inside responded to me!
I immediately planned to draw my sword and break through the boundary wall to search inside. But at this moment, I don’t know if it was my boundary sound transmission that took effect or something. A girl about three or four years old, wearing purple clothes, unexpectedly appeared. He ran out of the ruined house and quickly looked in the direction of Sora and me!
Somehow, at this time, the tears that had accumulated in my eyes for a long time suddenly fell down, as if I couldn't control them at all.
"Qingcheng... Qingcheng... You're in there, are you in there, right? This is our child, isn't it..." I couldn't help but burst into tears and burst into tears for a while.
The purple dress the girl is wearing looks dirty and tattered, but it is definitely not unwashed. It is just covered with stains that cannot be washed away. The child is very clean and beautiful. I have never seen such a beautiful child. …
Her face is as fair as her mother's, and her eyes are very bright, like the brightest stars in the sky.
There is no need for anyone to explain or tell me, because just these few characteristics have proven that she is my and Xue Qingcheng's child.
I just don’t know why, but there are a few tufts of hair crookedly placed on her head, as if they were tied up by the child herself. It makes me heartbroken.
"Qingcheng! Qingcheng!" I hurriedly wanted to break through the boundary wall and get in touch with the child. However, this boundary wall showed terrifying defensive capabilities. If it were an ordinary boundary wall between humans and gods, I believe that with my strength, it would be invisible. Sword Qi can easily cut through it, but the boundary wall in front of me instantly shattered the Qi sword I stabbed through.
"Haha, is this kid originally called Qingcheng? Do you know this abandoned city? What was this place originally? Why is it drifting around here? It's really puzzling." A cold laugh suddenly came from the top of the boundary wall. come out.
"Who is it!?" My eyes froze, and I suddenly looked up at him!
A middle-aged Taoist wearing a gray Taoist robe, a golden feather crown on his head, and holding a long sword in one hand was standing quietly on the boundary wall looking at me, with a touch of curiosity and a strange light in his eyes.
My heart was shocked, because for a moment, I didn't notice his cultivation level. To be able to stand on the boundary wall and stare at me for so long without making a sound, his cultivation level is naturally unimaginable!
"Who am I? Didn't you know that you summoned me here?" The middle-aged Taoist had a cold look on his face, then he glanced around, and finally fixed his gaze on me: "It seems that this is half of the sacrifice. It was broken by you on the way, so I almost couldn't get out. And the drifting ruins I dragged along the way were actually related to you. This is really a big coincidence and fate. It can be said that 'the fate of everything in the world is determined. People are destined to live their lives, and you should be the one to bear it."
"What?" My expression changed, and when I saw him taking a step towards me, my eyes suddenly opened to the extreme.
"Punishment." The middle-aged Taoist said calmly.
