Time flies, and the most fearful thing is that it passes quietly unintentionally.
In the blink of an eye, the two of them have been together for more than twenty days.
On this day, as usual, Li Gaoren took Yingling out for an outing. This was the mountains and fields around Zhenhun Village. Li Gaoren had walked through them too many times, and he had already picked some places.
"Miss Yingling, the weather is quite comfortable, why don't you go out for a walk." Li Gaoren stood on a rock platform and said softly while climbing up the mountain, looking into the distance.
"No matter how comfortable it is, how comfortable is it with you carrying me on my back?"
"Are you really not coming out?"
"I'll come out when you get to the top of the mountain."
"Then you will miss the scenery along the way. The mountain I brought you to today is called Jiaonuduo, but it is more than ten miles away from the village. Although it is not very high, the scenery is very beautiful."
"Jiaonuduo? Isn't it a mountain? Why is the name so strange?" A flash of light and shadow appeared next to Li Gaoren, and Yingling asked curiously.
Li Gaoren turned around, pointed towards the top of the mountain, and said slowly, "The origin of the name of Jiaonuduo Mountain has to be told a long time ago. I heard that a long time ago, in the Black Tiger Temple Village at the foot of Jiaonuduo Mountain, there lived a Sister Jiao, she is naturally beautiful and has a face like a peach blossom. Several towns and villages in the surrounding area know that there is such a beautiful woman in Black Tiger Temple. Sister Jiao is gentle and kind, not greedy for vanity, not obsessed with power and wealth. I don’t know how much she has given back. The silk fabrics of noble families also drove away many dandies."
"It's really strange that there are women like this in the world." Ying Ling blurted out.
Li Gaoren continued, "Sister Jiao is not without a sweetheart. She has actually been secretly in love with her for a long time, and she has always been thinking about Chun Yu who herds cattle in the village. Fortunately, she got her wish and married Chun Yu. In order to make Sister Jiao live a good life, the two After they got married, Chunyu no longer herded cattle. Instead, he studied poetry and books, hoping to gain fame. In the third year of their marriage, Chunyu went to Beijing to take the exam. Emperor Tian paid off his hard work, and Chunyu was named on the Golden List. The news came, Jiao Jiao My sister and the people in the village were all surprised and celebrated."
"Isn't this great? Women are interested and men are affectionate." Sakura Ling said with a smile.
Li Gaoren looked at the top of the mountain in a daze, and after a while, he murmured, "He is ruthless. He was named in the Spring Rain Gold List, but he is looking for a new love. He doesn't care about Sister Jiao's efforts over the years. The grief-stricken Sister Jiao couldn't bear the blow and finally jumped. Enter the Yanling River." After saying that, Li Gaoren turned sideways and pointed towards the long river at the foot of the mountain.
"What? Doesn't that make him a heartless person? This person is too useless." Ying Ling said directly.
Li Gaoren looked at Ying Ling's posture, and there was a trace of ripples in his eyes, but he quickly hid it.
"Later, some local villagers saw Sister Jiao turning into a golden phoenix in the Yanling River, flying on the top of the mountain behind the village, and reborn in Nirvana, so this mountain was called Jiaonu Duo by later generations." Li Gaoren explained.
"I see, now I understand." Sakura Ling nodded.
Li Gaoren stood there. After a while, he asked Yingling, "What do you understand?"
"I understand why this mountain is called Jiaonuduo."
"Any more?"
"Chun Yu is a heartless man."
"Then you know Sister Jiao's story and Chunyu's betrayal. How do you feel?"
"No."
Li Gaoren was stunned for a while, looking at the scenery of the two of them halfway up the mountain, speechless for a moment.
Sakura Ling stood in the wind and watched side by side with him.
On the top of the mountain, the cherry bells were running after the birds. Li Gaoren leaned down to explore the grass, picking up useful grass leaves into the bamboo basket behind him. From time to time, he watched the cherry bells running across the field with a bit of a smile.
For a long time, the two of them sat on the edge of the cliff on the top of the mountain, looking at the setting sun, the brilliant sunset, and the rolling clouds.
"I see that Dr. Li has a lot of work behind him today, but he has gained a lot."
Li Gaoren looked at the bamboo basket beside him, smiled, and said, "This will make Miss Yingling feel comfortable when she goes back to sleep later, right?"
Yingling chuckled, stood up, stretched, and then stretched out her hand to Li Gaoren, saying, "I can't let you carry me on your back all the time. The top of the mountain is not high enough. How about I take you up into the sky and see the sky?" look?"
Li Gaoren was puzzled. Before he could react, Ying Ling grabbed his hand tightly and jumped off the cliff.
Li Gaoren exclaimed, his heart lost its gravity and kept beating, but the coldness in his palms made him particularly awake. He looked back at the woman beside him, who also looked at her with a smile.
"Li Gaoren, don't be afraid. Although I can't feel the wind in the world, I am the wind of spring now."
On the way to fall off the cliff, there was a strong wind, and the cherry bell pulled Li Gaoren up with the wind, flying across the sky, towards the clouds in the sky, where it was bright and clear.
High in the sky, Li Gaoren's heart was beating wildly as he gazed at the vast mountains and rivers below and the passing clouds.
He had never seen such scenery before, so much so that he thought he was dreaming.
"Li Gaoren, you have walked so many mountain roads with me on your back, so I will show you this magnificent corner of the mountains and sea. How about it? Is it different?"
The laughter in the wind was the sound of cherry bells, wind chimes, gently touching his heart in his ears.
"Thank you, Miss Yingling." He said it so softly that even the wind didn't hear it.
Yingling looked back at Li Gaoren and smiled proudly, then turned her head and stood up. At that moment, her long black hair was flying, lingering between Li Gaoren's eyebrows, and her face never left.
Li Gaoren's vision was hazy, and he stared blankly at the woman in front of him. Then, he looked at the hands held tightly by the two of them. Li Gaoren suddenly tightened them tightly again, unwilling to let go even an inch.
After an unknown amount of time, the sun gradually set. After the two returned to the top of the mountain, they wanted to set off back down the mountain. Ying Ling found it troublesome, so luckily they flew in the direction of Zhenhun Village to prevent him from losing sight of the road in the dark.
Just when Ying Ling was on her way back, a red light suddenly flashed in the sky and headed straight in her direction.
"So you're here, so I've been looking for it for days." A person floated in front of Ying Ling, crossing his arms with his chest and laughing.
Ying Ling looked at the man in front of her and said, "It's you. I thought you ran away that day."
"The book really didn't lie to me. There is a mirror spirit in the soul-shaking mirror. I searched around here for a long time, and I found it." The man was very excited.
"Hey, even if you take me back, I can't help you. My spiritual power is weak now, so this mirror is of no use."
"Hmph, stop talking nonsense, just go back to the mirror and follow me. I have my own way."
Yingling knew that the person in front of her was in trouble, so she rushed down, put Li Gaoren on the ground, and said, "Li Gaoren, you are waiting for me, don't run around."
Li Gaoren was extremely nervous and refused to let go of Ying Ling's hand. The latter smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's not a big problem."
He let go of his hand in loneliness, but his eyes were full of worry as he looked at her, and there was also a trace of inexplicable annoyance.
In the ethereal gray sky, Li Gaoren could still see traces of light and shadow at first, but as time passed, he could no longer see any.
"Is this the difference between monks and mortals?" Li Gaoren had this thought for the first time.
I don't know how much time passed, until the moon hung high, stars were everywhere, and in the deserted land, only Li Gaoren still stood there, looking up.
A person stood next to him, looking at the starry sky inexplicably, and said faintly, "What are you looking at, looking at it for so long?" Li Gaoren jumped in surprise, looked to his side, his face suddenly became happy, and said, "Miss Yingling!"
"I asked you to stay here, why don't you stay here? Look how late it is."
Li Gaoren was happier than ever before. He subconsciously grabbed Ying Ling's shoulders and said deeply, "Are you okay?"
"It's okay. I've already dealt with that person. I just didn't expect that this person with a strange background could actually restrain me. This fight not only consumed my remaining spiritual power, but also caused him to hurt my mirror. My body is broken." Ying Ling said helplessly.
Li Gaoren was worried for a while and said anxiously, "Then you still say it's okay, but what are the consequences?"
Ying Ling said bluntly, "I took a look and it seems that I only have about ten days left to live. Anyway, it doesn't matter if it's earlier or later, the result will be the same."
Li Gaoren's body was shaken and he was stunned. He was frozen here and his thoughts were confused.
————
From that day on, Li Gaoren locked himself in his room all day long, rummaged through various ancient books, and borrowed various strange stories from other people in the village, trying to find a way to remedy Yingling.
Yingling looked at Li Gaoren with a confused look. She once asked him why he was so nervous and why he had to find a way to save himself.
Although I have followed many masters in the past, most of them used their own supernatural powers to achieve their goals time and time again. There are also some who feel sorry for themselves, but they are basically worried that the magic weapon will be damaged and affect their future performance.
An artifact, even if there is a spirit in it, is just an object. If it is broken, rusty, and useless, what is its use?
Li Gaoren didn't answer. He was almost crazy at that time, and he just kept mumbling, "No time... no time..."
time? I never seem to have a concept of time.
But in the end, Li Gaoren read all the books and couldn't find any introduction about how magical artifacts and spiritual objects could be repaired.
On this day, according to what Ying Ling said, she only had three days left.
Li Gaoren leaned against the wall in despair, restless and exhausted.
Yingling came to Li Gaoren's room as usual and saw that he was listless, but she didn't feel anything was wrong. She doesn't care about her own life and death, and naturally she doesn't understand other people's thoughts.
Seeing how persistent Li Gaoren was, Ying Ling remembered some rumors. She leaned down, patted Li Gaoren's face and said, "You want to save me?"
Li Gaoren looked at the innocence in the woman's eyes and said nothing.
"I'm telling you, I have a solution."
Hearing this, Li Gaoren immediately stood up and said, "Speak quickly, I will do it no matter what."
Ying Ling was inexplicably happy when she heard this and said with a smile, "If you want to save a being like me, you have to go to the Nine Nether Abyss. There are people there who can do it. I don't know the specific details. I've heard it said before."
"Nine Nether Abyss? Where is it?"
"How do I know? I've never been there, but judging from the name, it should be underground. Maybe it's very deep underground. The Western Mountains are vast and boundless. It's said that the Nine Nether Abyss is in the Demon Realm of the Northern Mountains. It's far away from here. went."
Li Gaoren refused and asked, "Miss Yingling, just tell me how to get there."
Ying Ling looked at the man in front of her. His eyes were bloodshot. She didn't understand why Li Gaoren did this.
"Someone told me a long time ago that if I find the Juzhang Abyss in the hinterland of the Western Mountain Meridian, it is said that it can lead to the Nine Underworlds, but I don't know if it is true."
"Miss Yingling, with the little spiritual power you have left now, I'm afraid you won't be able to survive my journey back and forth."
"Yes, you are a mortal, and you can't fly. You can't find it if you just walk all the way. And I estimate that you will disappear from this world in a few days, so even if you can find a way, you can't find a way." If it’s too late, you don’t have to embarrass yourself.”
"Although I haven't found a way to save you, I saw in the book that there is a way to keep you in the world in another form."
Ying Ling was puzzled and was about to ask him. Li Gaoren stood up and looked at the person in front of him. He smiled slightly and said, "This time, you will wait for me. Just wait for me in the locust forest leading to the sea outside the village. Where? You’re not allowed to go either.”
Ying Ling didn't think too much, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you."
The next day, Li Gaoren told the villagers of Zhenhun Village that he could not save the woman who fell from the sky. For her peace of mind, he suggested that everyone bury her in the locust forest.
The villagers didn't ask any questions, but felt a little sorry. Li Gaoren took care of everything and told the villagers that his medical skills were weak and he needed to go out to the mountains to learn better medical skills. He said goodbye to the villagers and set off north.
The night before leaving, Li Gaoren said to Yingling in the forest, "I promise you that I will cure you. If you want to stay here, you are not allowed to go anywhere. Just wait for me to come back. Do you understand?"
Sakuragi nodded with a smile on his face.
After that, Li Gaoren traveled far away, and there were thousands of miles of mountains and rivers under his feet.
During those years, no one knew where he came from or where he was going.
When I'm tired, I find a wild place to rest. When I'm hungry, I eat some dried fruits and cereals to satisfy my hunger. He rarely spoke along the way, and when he met strangers, he would ask about the direction of Juzhang Abyss, and his footsteps never stopped.
Some people are as gentle as jade, modest and indifferent, but the stubbornness and tenacity in their bones are comparable to diamond rocks.
Li Gaoren's feet were broken, his lips were chapped, his face was withered, as thin as a stick, and his face was covered with dust and frost.
The sun is scorching hot and I'm sweating profusely. It's freezing cold, with frost and snow flying.
Behind him is a trail of blood.
Have you ever persisted desperately for someone or something in your life? You are bruised and bruised, life is worse than death, but you still don’t want to give up?
It’s hard, tiring, painful, and painful.
"I met a fool on the road today. He asked me where the Juzhang Abyss was. I pointed out the road casually, and he actually believed it. How did I know about the Juzhang Abyss? I've never been there."
"You stinky beggar, this is Yongle Street. Don't you know that lowlifes like you are strictly prohibited from coming here? Get out of here right now."
"You are really pathetic. You don't even have anything valuable on you. I don't know what you are doing here. You are wasting my time. If I had known better, I would have thrown you into a ditch and drowned."
"Hey, are you crazy? Even if you can find the Juzhang Abyss, wouldn't you go in and die with your mortal body?"
Along the way, all kinds of words filled his ears, and he seemed not to hear them.
He was teased, ridiculed, humiliated and beaten, but he remained unmoved.
His heart was clear and his feet were unwavering. Even if it went round and round, he always walked on the path in his heart.
Calling him crazy or calling him a fool is just a show off from a human spectator, self-righteous and not worth mentioning.
The heavy rain poured down, and Li Gaoren suddenly stopped. He looked up at the sky for a long time, then smiled, feeling unprecedented joy and confidence.
He remembered the scene with Ying Ling Ting Yu. It turned out that just a little memory could make people's hearts shatter with bravery.
Ying Ling, who was lying in the light curtain, looked carefully at the world of white light in the mirror. Looking at Li Gaoren's smiling eyes looking at the sky, she also laughed.
It was a look through time and space, in each other's eyes. Yingling never knew the past few years when Li Gaoren went out, and she didn't know what he had experienced along the way. Now she looked at the time and space picture in the light mirror very seriously.
Now she has flesh and blood, a heartbeat, and feelings.
She was also very brave. Even when she saw the twists and turns of Li Gaoren's journey, Ying Ling always had a slight smile on her lips, and her eyes followed him.
But she couldn't control the tears in her eyes. I waved my hand and wiped it away, but the trickle still continued.
On the side, Mo Guyuan's eyes were moist and hazy.
In the picture, Li Gaoren was still walking on foot. He didn't know how long he had been walking, and he never thought about it.
After five years, he finally reached the Juzhang Abyss and stood above it.
He turned his head blankly and looked at the deserted and dusty fields behind him.
Not far away, there is a dry and cracked pond, and two doves are dying in the middle, using saliva to revive each other.
He walked over and poured the remaining water on the two birds into his mouth.
One of the black doves had psychic eyes and looked at the disheveled man in front of him with a human look.
The other white one just looked at his partner, his body heaved and panted for a few moments, and then he closed his eyes.
Li Gaoren's eyes were sad and he said hoarsely, "I'm sorry..."
"You want to go to Juzhang's Abyss?" the black Juzhujiu said in human language.
Li Gaoren turned his head and looked down, and after a while, he nodded slightly.
"There is a den of alien beasts at the bottom. It is bottomless and contains no treasures."
"Is there a place under the deep that goes to the center of the earth?"
The black dove bird was stunned for a moment, but still nodded.
Li Gaoren turned around and walked towards the abyss.
"Hey, do me a favor."
Li Gaoren frowned and looked back in confusion.
"I can no longer support my transformation into a human form. You help me and Bai Yu be buried together, and I will help you go to Juzhang's Abyss."
Li Gaoren stood in front of a raised mound and looked at an extremely gorgeous and bright feather coat in his hand, holding it tightly in his arms.
"The wings of a dove can travel thousands of miles in a day and are extremely fast. Wear them and see if you are lucky enough to find one. You didn't come here to die."
"Thank you."
"I should be the one to thank you. I met you at the last moment. Bai Yu and I can be together till death. I am very content."
"Actually, you can survive, right?"
"If she's not here, what difference does it make whether she's alive or not?"
Li Gaoren stood on the edge of the cliff again, wearing black wings and looking deeply into the vast darkness.
He stared into the abyss, and the abyss seemed to be staring back at him, but so what?
Leaning over and falling straight down, Li Gaoren didn't hesitate at all. The wind roared, and he smiled knowingly, as if he heard the sound of wind chimes in his ears many years ago.
She was by my side at that time, telling myself, don't be afraid, she is the wind in spring.
All kinds of strange beasts woke up and noticed the breath of the dove bird. There were ferocious beasts lurking in all directions.
Li Gaoren hid under his wings, letting everything around him turn upside down and covered in darkness.
Eternal darkness, endless.
There was an unruly and sinister laughter ringing in my ears, like a devil from hell, coveting and bewitching...
After a long time, a trace of fire flickered in Li Gaoren's eyes. He suddenly sat up and gasped for breath. His body was covered with white bones and blood stains.
Li Gaoren gritted his teeth, opened his eyes in pain, and saw a person in purple python robe, who was stunningly beautiful.
"Who are you?" Li Gaoren asked subconsciously.
The slender figure stood quietly in front of Li Gaoren, with a dark green light on his fingertips, swaying like a flame on his hand.
"The last time I came to the Nine Netherworld, it was a violet that transformed into a human form. You are the second one, and you are still a mortal. This world is so interesting, hahahahaha, the Nine Netherworld Forbidden Land? No one has set foot in it, you see. It seems like who are these people? They can be killed with just a thought, and they actually came to Jiuyou. It’s really interesting." The man chuckled, and then laughed inexplicably.
His feminine and evil face became more and more enchanting and hysterical.
Li Gaoren looked at the madness of the person in front of him and ignored it. He shouted to himself, "Help me save someone. I will give you whatever you want."
The laughter stopped suddenly. The man looked at it with interest and said with a smile, "What do you have?"
Li Gaoren was sluggish and at a loss. What did he have?
After a while, he shouted loudly, "I will make cows and horses for you. I will be your slave. I can give you everything I have, as long as I have it."
Dark green flames enveloped him, and the man leaned closer and said coldly, "I want your life."
Li Gaoren nodded desperately and said, "Okay."
The man found it more and more interesting. He had lived in the Netherworld for thousands of years, and in order to obtain the fire from the center of the earth, he was enduring the pain of eroding his bones and heart all the time, but to him, it was nothing.
He asked Li Gaoren what he wanted, and Li Gaoren told him everything about Yingling. After a while, he stood there, indifferent.
"A weapon spirit is not even a human being. How dare you risk your life like this?" He asked with a smile.
"Maybe she is a tool spirit to you cultivators, but to me, she is a being more precious than my life. Before I met her, I was just me. But when I met her, we were no longer the same person."
"Hahahaha, interesting, us? She doesn't think so. You have to know that she is just a spiritual energy in the soul-shaking mirror. The so-called spiritual intelligence only relies on the ability given to her by the supernatural power in the mirror. This is nothing, you are just wishful thinking. .”
Li Gaoren stared at the person in front of him tightly, not caring about his words.
Looking at his appearance for a long time, he laughed at himself inexplicably and said, "I'm really ridiculous too."
"Go back, the weapon spirit transcends the six realms, there's nothing I can do about it."
Li Gaoren didn't know where the courage came from, but he stretched out his hand and grabbed the python robe at the man's feet, unwilling to let go.
"Do you know that except for gods, no one in the entire mountain and sea can be my opponent, and no one can get close to me? Do you want to die?"
Li Gaoren roared angrily, holding on to his last breath of strength, and gasped, "Save her... please."
The man looked at the ants beneath him, slapped them away with his sleeve, and said without squinting, "I'll teach you a forbidden spell called the Blood Sacrifice Curse. Maybe there's a chance to bring her a glimmer of life."
Li Gaoren was overjoyed and kowtowed to the man to thank him.
"Practice the Blood Sacrifice Curse, and you will become a human being, a ghost, a ghost, restricted by heaven and earth, abandoned by the six paths, hopeless of reincarnation, and your soul will disappear when you die."
Li Gaoren ignored it and didn't take it to heart. Instead, he asked him, "Who are you?"
There was a desolate sound in the darkness of nothingness.
"Same unwillingness as you."
Those who are lonely never deserve love and warmth, because once they get both, they can never go back to the past.
