"Yun Lan."
Yun Lan was awakened by a powerful voice. Through the bright clouds in the sky, she saw a beam of light shining down from the depths of the clouds.
Behind that light, there seems to be a beautiful and desirable world.
Looking down, a winding staircase emerged from the clouds, going down the mountain from far to near... Finally, Yun Lan saw her shoes.
I don't know when, she actually came to such a road to the sky.
This is... the legendary road to immortality?
In the world of cultivation, far in the east of Taizhou, there is a legendary road that connects the world of cultivation and the world of immortality, called the Road to Immortality.
At the end of the Immortal Road is the Immortal Platform, which is the only way for monks to go to the Immortal Realm after successfully overcoming the tribulation. Occasionally, people from the Immortal Realm will come down to earth through the Immortal Road to promote talents with outstanding qualifications.
Yun Lan had only seen the image of the Immortal Road in the Image Stone, but she had never been to Taizhou.
Why did she suddenly appear here?
"When you embark on this path to immortality, you will no longer have anything to do with the world of cultivation. Only by cutting off the mundane world can you achieve the supreme path."
The voice seemed to hear the doubts in her heart and opened her mouth to explain.
At this time, Yun Lan noticed a few scorching eyes on her back. She turned around and saw her master, junior brothers, and junior sisters standing not far away, with indifferent expressions, looking at her with unfamiliar eyes. .
No, that's not the case!
She doesn’t want to cut off the mundane world!
She doesn't want to sever ties with her master, junior brothers and junior sisters!
Yun Lan wanted to walk over and greet them as familiarly as usual, but her feet seemed to be stuck to the stone stairs, unable to move.
how so?
How is this going?
"Master?"
Ming Xuzi looked away from Yun Lan, as if the person calling him was not his great disciple, but a stranger.
Yun Lan looked at her junior brothers and sisters again.
"Ming Zhao?"
"Mingye?"
"Li Luo?"
It's a pity that every time she calls out a name, there will be an additional layer of barrier between them, until the familiar face is hidden in the thick fog and disappears.
Yun Lan obviously wanted to get closer to them, but they were getting further and further away from her.
The majestic voice appeared again: "These are your past obsessions. If you want to ascend to immortality, you must cut off these obsessions with your own hands, otherwise you will not be able to complete this road to immortality."
It was obviously an extremely majestic voice, but Yun Lan felt it was very harsh in her ears. She was filled with discomfort and wanted to pull the owner of the voice down from the clouds.
My head started to hurt again.
Strange, why did she say it again?
"Cut them off. They are just your inner demons and obsessions, not your real master, junior brothers and sisters."
That majestic voice seemed to turn into a devil's whisper, making Yun Lan unable to help but want to follow his instructions.
But Yun Lan was only affected for a moment, and soon woke up and said firmly: "I don't!"
"Can you leave these common thoughts behind and make all the hard work and pain you have experienced over the years become null and void? These shadows are just your inner demons. You only need to get rid of your inner demons to become an immortal. the road."
Becoming an immortal is the lifelong pursuit of all monks in the world of cultivation.
What a very tempting two words. As long as these few phantoms are cut off, she can achieve the supreme road.
This is a good thing that no one can ask for!
But this time, she still made the same choice as before: "No!"
The surrounding space shattered instantly, and Yun Lan was pulled from the sky by an inexplicable force and fell into a sea of fire.
In other words, he fell into a village that was engulfed in flames, and the dark night sky was illuminated by the blazing flames.
Yun Lan was like a passerby, watching with cold eyes the small flames jumping between the houses, until a thin black figure ran into her arms and brought her into reality.
When he opened the little one in his arms, he turned out to be a little boy covered in dirt and blood.
Soon, villagers in the village came up with hoes and sickles and looked at the child in Yun Lan's arms in horror: "You... stay away from him quickly, he is an evil ghost who comes to seek life! Anyone who comes close to him will be killed. dead!"
Yun Lan was a little unaccustomed to the dirt and blood on her body. She wanted to use the cleaning technique, but she found that her spiritual power had disappeared, and now she had completely become an ordinary person.
The little boy looked up at Yun Lan and said, "Kill me."
Those eyes were so dark that even though the surrounding flames made the night sky as bright as day, there was no bright reflection in his eyes.
"I would rather die in your hands than die in their hands."
"Death?" Yun Lan looked at the villagers over there carrying various weapons, and then at the little boy in her arms. "Your life has just begun. No matter what happened in the past, you can start over once you leave here."
After saying that, she took the boy's hand and turned around and ran towards the mountain, where she would be safe.
There were only a few people in the village, and it was impossible for them to find them.
However, when the scene changed, the completely crazy villagers ignored their ancestors' instructions and began to set fire to the mountain.
Yun Lan and the little boy hid in a cave, choking on the black smoke floating from the mountain and coughing constantly.
There was no water on the mountain, and there was no other way down the mountain. She could only hope to clear the surrounding vegetation so that the fire would not burn their area.
The child was dying. He had been seriously injured before and could not hold on for long now.
"Kill me." He lay on the ground and said calmly, "Kill me and you can leave from here."
Yun Lan's throat also became hot from strenuous exercise and smoke. Her lips moved and she only uttered two words: "I don't."
The child smiled. His face had been so blackened by the fire that his appearance could not be seen at all. Yun Lan focused all her attention on his dark eyes.
The child waved at him, motioning for her to come over and listen to him.
Yun Lan rested her ear next to his, feeling the other person's breath blowing from her temples, and the whole world was getting farther and farther away from her.
When she opened her eyes again, she was lying on the ground, and she saw a huge green tree crown.
The leaves rustled, and there seemed to be fire beating around the ears. The mouth was extremely bitter, with the taste of elixir remaining.
"Fellow Daoist Yun Lan, are you awake?"
It's Lan Hong.
Oh, yes, she has neither become an immortal nor a mortal. She should be in a secret realm now, and others are looking for the young man from the Five Elements Sect.
