"Please, please let my wife go."
Finally, looking at the begging scholar, the immortal made an agreement with him. It takes one hundred thousand merits and the lifelong immortal power of a mortal immortal to lift the seal of Leifeng Pagoda.
One good deed per day is one merit, and one hundred thousand merit may not be collected even if it takes hundreds of years. What's more, just having these 100,000 merits is not enough, it also requires the lifelong immortal power of a mortal immortal. The so-called true immortal, if the immortal power is lost, he will no longer be an immortal. Even if they don't kill all the monsters, no true immortal would be willing to spend their entire life to save a monster.
Immortal Lord's move was nothing more than to make the scholar retreat when he saw the difficulties and give up the idea of letting Bai Suzhen out. Due to the pressure of the demon clan, he could not kill Bai Suzhen, but she could not escape the death penalty, so he had no intention of letting her out of Leifeng Pagoda. After decades of life, it is simply impossible to collect one hundred thousand merits, not to mention that it requires a true immortal to give up his lifelong immortal power.
Whether it is the immortals in the immortal world or the emperors in the demon world, they all understand the meaning of the immortal king. The scholar naturally knows that with his longevity, it is impossible to collect these 100,000 merits. But unexpectedly, the scholar agreed with a smile.
At this moment, there was a strange light in his eyes. Although the Immortal Lord was unwilling, it was inconvenient to violate his promise, so he set a seal in Leifeng Pagoda. One day a few years later, if you have one hundred thousand merits and the power of a true immortal, you can break the seal and save Bai Suzhen from Leifeng Pagoda.
At this time, the Demon King glanced at the Immortal Lord. He hesitated to speak, and finally turned what he wanted to say into a sigh. Others may not understand some things, so how could he not know the profound meaning of the Immortal Lord. But he didn't expect that the dignified Lord of the Immortal Realm would be such a despicable villain.
The Immortal Lord looked at Xu Xian with deep meaning and smiled. No one could tell what was hidden under this smile. The so-called good and evil of fairies and demons are actually not so static.
The turmoil ended, and many masters of the immortal and demon worlds left one after another. They don't think highly of the scholar. Maybe he really loves Bai Suzhen at this moment, but a hundred thousand merits are really difficult for him as a mortal.
Before Ao Hongchen left, he glanced at Leifeng Pagoda reluctantly. The so-called falling flowers are intentional, but the flowing water is ruthless. In the end, he could only keep this love deep in his heart. He patted the scholar's shoulder, nodded with a smile, waved his hand, then rose into the sky and disappeared into the wind.
Snake King and Xiao Qing looked at the Leifeng Pagoda not far away with helpless expressions on their faces. In her anger, Bai Suzhen caused a huge wave and killed hundreds of thousands of lives. Now she is lucky to be alive. It would be hard for them to ask the Demon King to rescue Bai Suzhen by force. If this triggers a war between the immortal and demon worlds, causing the demon clan's vitality to be severely damaged, then they will be the sinners of the demon clan.
They have a hatred for scholars. If not a scholar, how could Bai Suzhen rebel against the demon clan? If not a scholar, how could Bai Suzhen be suppressed at the bottom of Leifeng Pagoda.
But when the scholar prayed to the Immortal Lord with all his heart, they all saw it. Although they are not ready to accept the scholar, they can't hate him anymore. Not long after, they also left, leaving the scholar kneeling alone in front of Leifeng Pagoda.
The scholar took one last affectionate look at Leifeng Pagoda, then stood up and walked away. He also made up his mind that no matter what the price, he would rescue Bai Suzhen. He must do one good deed every day, collect these 100,000 merits, and use these 100,000 merits to atone for the sins of his beloved woman.
The scholar left, as if he had disappeared from the world. No one knows where he went, no one knows what happened to him. Maybe the so-called gathering of 100,000 merits is just a joke. After all, even if a scholar can have an eternal life, how can he have the perseverance to do one good deed every day for hundreds of years?
Day after day, year after year, more than a thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye. The legend of Bai Suzhen in West Lake has been passed down. It is said that under the Leifeng Pagoda, there was a great monster who was suppressed by immortals thousands of years ago. As for the scholar, there has been no news and has been forgotten by people. At this time, he may have turned into a bowl of loess.
The story ends here. As time goes by, perhaps everyone has forgotten the scholar's original vow. And that scholar may have turned into dry bones in the grave long ago, and no one knows where he is buried.
The story ends here. After Xu Xian finished speaking, he looked at the sky with a hint of reminiscence in his eyes.
"The legend of Leifeng Pagoda and the White Snake has been passed down for thousands of years. I have also heard about it. I wonder why Senior Xu told this story?" Yun Mengchen looked at Xu Xian with a trace of doubt in his eyes.
"Because, I am that scholar. In fact, I have never forgotten my original oath." Xu Xian sighed slightly. "And now, more than a thousand years have passed, and I have finally collected these 100,000 merits, and my wife can finally get out of trouble."
"My wife waited for me for a thousand years, and now I have waited for her for a thousand years. As the saying goes, everything has its destiny. It's really wonderful." There was a trace of tenderness on Xu Xian's face.
"A good deed every day will last a thousand years. It turns out that there is a person with such great perseverance in the world." Yun Mengchen was filled with emotions in his heart. He never thought that Xu Xian was the legendary scholar, and that there was such an infatuated person in the world. .
You know, in today's world of mortals, how much of the so-called love can last forever. The people who promised to stay forever in this life ended up being separated. Even if the two get along day and night, if there is a dispute, it will end sadly.
What's more, Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen have not seen each other for more than a thousand years, but their love has not diminished by half due to the passage of time. Xu Xian persisted for more than a thousand years for this love.
"My wife has been trapped for a thousand years because of me. Compared with her dark years at the bottom of the tower, my efforts for more than a thousand years are nothing."
"Senior Xu has advanced cultivation, and he must be a half-step true immortal, and he is only one step away from being a true immortal. But the so-called half-step true immortal is not an immortal, he is still a human race. The human race has a limited lifespan, even if the senior How can you have a thousand years of life to collect these 100,000 merits if you have advanced cultivation?"
Yun Mengchen also asked the doubts in his heart at this time. You must know that he and Leng Yuxuan are called sword immortals and sword gods, and they are the pinnacle existences in the human world. Even though their strength can compete with immortals, they are still not immortals because they have not cultivated immortal power.
If you are not an immortal, you will not have such a long lifespan. At most, you will only live a few years longer than ordinary mortals. Xu Xian's cultivation was advanced, but Yun Mengchen could tell at a glance that Xu Xian was not an immortal at this time. Because the key to becoming an immortal is immortal power, but at this time, Xu Xian did not have any immortal power in his body. Even though it was only one step away, Shouyuan was still no different from a mortal.
