Although Nie Xiaolou is considered powerful among mortals, compared with before, he is like a fairy falling into the mortal world. And most importantly, she lost the possibility of moving forward. Without the way of heaven and spiritual energy, what's the use of killing more monks?
and……
Just after her spiritual energy was exhausted, she unexpectedly encountered a ghost.
Fortunately, she still has some strength. Although the way of heaven has disappeared and her spiritual energy is gone, her own soul is still there and she still has spiritual power in her body. She fought off the ghost, but she didn't kill it either.
This was nothing at first. Too many people died in this world due to the catastrophe, the Yin Qi had never been stronger, and she was not the only one to encounter ghosts. I must have beaten that ghost away, and that ghost will not dare to come again.
But she thought wrong.
Half a year later, the ghost came again and became stronger than last time, although she beat him away again. But then the ghost came again, and became stronger each time. She became so powerful that she was no longer a match for that ghost. The Huo family had to send someone to protect her.
During this period, the ghost was also beaten very badly by the Huo family monks. In her opinion, he was almost beaten to death several times and completely disappeared between heaven and earth. But in the end the ghost escaped.
Then he came again...
Some people in the Huo family also died, making it difficult for the Huo family to deal with the ghost. So, the Huo family started to publish the news and hired people to kill the ghost. The news spread wider and wider, and more and more people came, but the ghost was never really killed.
Nie Xiaolou put down the small scissors in his hand, looked at the flowers in the white jade vase, sighed softly, and looked at the heavy rain outside the attic window again. Whispered softly:
"Why does that ghost look so familiar? Have I seen him before?"
"It seems that the target of that ghost is me. Could it be the human-turned-ghost I once killed?"
"It shouldn't be a human-turned-ghost from the Huo family, but who is that?"
"Alas...why am I so miserable? I finally found a place where I can secretly improve my cultivation level, but my spiritual energy suddenly dried up..."
"Is this thief specifically against me?"
Footsteps sounded on the stairs. When she heard the familiar footsteps, Nie Xiaolou knew that Huo Yunwu was coming without turning around, so she didn't look back and still looked out the window at the heavy rain curtain. The always warm hands hugged her shoulders, and a gentle voice sounded from beside her:
"Xiaolou, don't worry, I'm gathering experts from all sides. That ghost won't be arrogant for long."
"I believe you!" Nie Xiaolou said softly, snuggling into Huo Yunwu's arms.
A fishing village in the East China Sea.
A girl about three years old was playing happily on the beach. When the waves receded, she chased her. Then she turned around and ran, and the waves chased her, making the beach resound with the girl's cheerful laughter.
There are many fishing boats anchored on the beach, and many people are repairing fishing nets there. The spiritual energy has been exhausted for twenty years, and people have become accustomed to life in the mortal world.
Fishing is a means of livelihood.
Not far from the giggling girl, there was a fishing boat. The husband was washing the deck, and the wife was repairing the fishing net. From time to time, she looked up at her daughter running wildly on the beach, with happiness and joy in her eyes.
The husband's name is Yu Wenxiu and his wife's name is Mu Qingsi. The daughter’s name is Yuwen Qingxiu.
When the spiritual energy was exhausted, they happened to be traveling here, so the two of them settled here. Later, the spiritual energy showed no signs of recovery, and their mentality gradually became that of a mortal. Eventually they got married and gave birth to a child. daughter.
Mu Qingsi is a peerless genius, but she has always been well protected. Ever since he entered the Qingyun Sect and was protected by the Qingyun Sect, and then entered the Tianmeng and was protected by Zhang Chen, he has a somewhat proud temperament. In fact, Yun Xiaoyao is also the same. Otherwise, when he learned that Mu Qingsi and Yu Wenxiu were in love, he would not have become furious and wanted to kill Yu Wenxiu. In his opinion, Mu Qingsi could fall in love with anyone, but how could she fall in love with a disciple of the Taiqing Sect, the enemy of the master?
So, he hurriedly went to find his master. It was also that time that I found Gu Shuo. He stayed with Gu Shuo for a long time and was taught harshly by Gu Shuo. He drove him to the outside of the pass to fight against the demon clan continuously, and also asked him to remember during the fight with the demon clan. Live the process of fighting, come back and tell him about it, and then harshly correct his mistakes. Moreover, Gu Shuo himself was very self-disciplined. Under this kind of words and deeds, Yun Xiaoyao's impetuosity and inner pride were rubbed away, making Yun Xiaoyao feel more at ease.
At that time, Yun Xiaoyao often thought, what could he be proud of when even a peerless genius like his master could hide his name and hide from his enemies?
Therefore, Yun Xiaoyao settled down little by little. This is not only the accumulation of cultivation, but also the precipitation of one's state of mind, and also the precipitation of one's behavior and thinking.
It was precisely this period of time spent with his master that made him mature. Moreover, after the way of heaven disappeared and the spiritual energy was exhausted, he did not become decadent or indulgent. Instead, he immediately thought about what his master would do now, and then realized how to refine the mind.
But Mu Qingsi didn't.
She was taken care of in Qingyun Sect and Tianmeng, so when she found out that she fell in love with Yu Wenxiu, she moved forward willfully. He and Yu Wenxiu left the Tianmeng, saying that they were going to find the master, but in their hearts they were afraid of seeing Gu Shuo. The two of them tacitly searched for Gushuo, but in fact they were traveling around Taixuan. And Yu Wenxiu took good care of her along the way. Therefore, she has been taken care of since she was a child.
Inwardly proud, even naive.
After her spiritual energy was exhausted, she suddenly became confused. She was not good at thinking and didn't know where to go. In my heart, I can only rely on Yu Wenxiu beside me.
Yu Wenxiu thought about it for a few days and decided to settle down in this fishing village.
The way of heaven has disappeared, the spiritual energy has dried up, and there is no direction for cultivation. He has also thought about returning to Taiqing Sect. But just walking back with two legs, this is the east.
Can you go back in your lifetime?
no choice!
I can only stay here. Moreover, it is good that Yu Wenxiu is a genius, but the basic characteristics of a genius are reflected in his qualifications, talent and understanding, but it does not mean that a genius's character must be persevering and his will must be strong. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many people who were originally talented people but ended up doing nothing. And Yu Wenxiu's character and ambition are somewhat unworthy of his title of genius, otherwise he would not have fallen in love with a woman wholeheartedly on the way to seek the road.
It doesn't mean that Tianjiao can't fall in love, nor does it mean that Tianjiao can't have a Taoist partner. But successful geniuses have one thing in common. Their first priority must be the pursuit of the Tao, and their pursuit of Taoists is the second most popular one. And the gap between second and first is not small. But Yu Wenxiu put her love for her Taoist companions first and her pursuit of the Taoist path second. And the distance between the two is quite large.
Therefore, when the spiritual energy was exhausted, he gave up searching for the avenue. In his opinion, the avenue was gone, so what was the point of searching?
So he discussed with Mu Qingsi and stayed here. Mu Qingsi is also a lover, otherwise she would not fall in love with a disciple of the Taiqing Sect, let alone avoid her master. At this time, he was still in the hesitation stage, so he agreed to Yu Wenxiu. The two of them had a good time at first. After all, they still had some resources in the storage ring. But as the years passed and the resources were about to be exhausted, the two people had to end their sweet life without having to work hard, got a fishing boat, and started fishing. Later, a daughter was born.
The two of them have forgotten that they were once cultivators of immortals and have completely integrated into the mortal world. I also got along well with the fishermen in the village.
night!
Yu Wenxiu stood by the bed and looked at Mu Qingsi standing by the bed, pressing her hands on her daughter's body. There was a slight tremor on the daughter's body, as if there were earthworms trembling under her skin. Mu Qingsi walked around her daughter's body with her hands and said proudly:
"Let me tell you, the shock energy that my master taught me is very powerful. This means that the spiritual energy is exhausted, otherwise I will teach the shock energy to Qingxiu, and Qingxiu will become a pure body before feeling the energy. , you can get twice the result with half the effort in practice.”
】
Yu Wenxiu sighed: "It's a pity that the spiritual energy is exhausted now."
Mu Qingsi's expression froze, but her hands did not stop. Half an hour later, she finally finished tempering her daughter and picked her up. With a gentle smile on his face:
"Xiao Qingxiu, let's go take a bath."
"The water is boiled. I'll put it in."
Yu Wenxiu hurriedly put the water in and tested the water temperature: "It's OK."
While bathing her daughter, Mu Qingsi continued the topic: "Brother Yuwen, even if the spiritual energy is exhausted now, I will temper Qingxiu's body. The younger she is, the better the effect of this shocking body tempering will be. The two of us will My daughter has very good qualifications and talents. In one year, Qingxiu will be able to become a pure body. Even if the world continues to be like this, she can always cultivate her body to the golden elixir realm. Then her daughter will not be bullied.
snort! "
She snorted coquettishly: "My daughter will definitely become a heroine."
"Yes, yes!" Yu Wenxiu's face showed the kindness of an old father.
After washing their daughter and coaxing her to sleep, the couple lay on the bed, with Mu Qingsi leaning on Yu Wenxiu's chest:
"We're going to sea again tomorrow."
"Yes!" Yu Wenxiu stroked Mu Qingsi's hair: "Wait for me at home."
"Well!" The two were silent for a while, and Mu Qingsi said softly: "Brother Yuwen, do you think this spiritual energy will never revive again?"
"I don't know." Yu Wenxiu's eyes were also a little dazed.
Mu Qingsi squirmed in the bed to make herself more comfortable, and murmured to herself: "I don't know what Master is doing now?
I...miss Master. "
It was just dawn.
The fishermen had already arrived at the seaside. Mu Qingsi took her daughter Yuwen Qingxiu and were busy on the boat with Yuwenxiu. When the first ray of sunlight reflected on the sea surface, causing a layer of golden fish scales to appear on the sea surface, Mu Qingsi Qingsi stood on the beach holding her daughter, waving goodbye to Yu Wenxiu on the boat.
Dozens of fishing boats began to leave the seaside and rowed toward the vast depths of the sea. The fishermen on the boats sang fishing songs, and the loud songs echoed on the sea. Women on the seaside were sending off their husbands, fathers, and brothers, with faces full of smiles. With worry.
"boom……"
The dozens of boats had not disappeared from their sight. They clearly saw the waves suddenly rise high, arching like mountains, and then crashed into the dozens of boats.
Then...
"hold head high……"
With a loud roar, a huge head poked out of the water, opened its mouth and swallowed a boat.
"Wow..."
A giant pillar-like tail, covered with dense scales, shining in the sun, was lifted up from the sea water, stood up, and crashed down with a roar, smashing more than a dozen fishing boats to pieces. The remaining fishing boats were rowing frantically towards the beach. The fishermen on the boats stretched their necks and shouted to the woman on the beach:
"Run! Run quickly!"
"boom……"
Water splashed everywhere, and a section of the thing's body was exposed. Mu Qingsi's heart felt like it was suddenly grabbed:
"Jiao!"
Before the spiritual energy was exhausted, Mu Qingsi would not be afraid of it, but now that the spiritual energy is exhausted and the divine channel method has been lost, when it comes to the body, the human race is really not that different from the demons, especially this kind of dragon.
There was a lot of crying on the coast. Some of the women just cried, some were paralyzed on the beach with fear, and some were running away in panic.
"Brother Yuwen..."
Mu Qingsi suddenly screamed, and the dragon rushed towards Yu Wenxiu's fishing boat.
With a "rumbling" sound, he bit the fishing boat into pieces in one bite. But the moment before his big mouth hit the fishing boat, he saw Yu Wenxiu kicking his feet on the deck. The deck was shattered, and Yu Wenxiu's body shot into the sky. rise. There are already bitten fishing boats under your feet.
"Qiang!"
A stream of light flowed out from between the eyebrows, and Yu Wenxiu caught it in his hand. It was a sword, and Yu Wenxiu dived towards the dragon in the air.
Mu Qingsi looked around, then hugged Yuwen Qingxiu and ran towards a woman who was running away in panic. After a few quick steps, she had already caught up with the woman:
"Sister-in-law Ling'er, please hold Qingxiu and run away. I'll kill the dragon!"
"Kill the dragon?" Ling'er's sister-in-law looked dumbfounded and instinctively took Yuwen Qingxiu's hand. Then she saw Mu Qingsi running towards the sea. A stream of light circled around her body. Mu Qingsi grabbed it in her hand. It was the blue sword. With a leap of body, he had already rushed to the surface of the sea, walking on the waves at an extremely fast speed.
"ah……"
Sister-in-law Ling'er screamed in surprise, not expecting that her neighbor turned out to be a monk. Then she turned around and staggered towards the fishing village. He shouted in confusion:
"Sister Qingsi, sister Qingsi can do it, she will definitely save the village and my husband, sister Qingsi, please..."
"hold head high……"
With an angry roar, his thick tail swept across the air and towards Yu Wenxiu.
Now that the spiritual energy is exhausted, Yu Wenxiu can no longer fly. Being able to walk on the waves like Mu Qingsi is the limit. At this time, he was in mid-air, and saw the dragon's tail sweeping over like a wall. The powerful force caused the sea surface to surge into the air, like a mountain of water. He twisted his body forcefully in mid-air, but because he could not completely avoid the tail that was coming towards him, he stabbed the dragon's tail with his long sword, and the strong wind blew his soaked clothes tightly against his body. .
