Wei Shiqi's piercing eyes fell on Lan Zhenren's face. She tensed up, her eyelashes trembled, and she had a slight burning illusion. Who would have thought that the "escape slave from the lower realm" in Li Jingyun's mouth has become a person second only to the true immortal. , easily poked a hole in the sky of Da Yingzhou. In front of him, she had no secrets to speak of. As long as he thought about it, she could take everything away. At this moment, Lan Zhenren felt deeply sad.
The past flashed through his mind, and Wei Shiqi still remembered the scene when he first met Master Lan. The peach blossoms were in full swing and the fallen flowers were in full bloom. The Taoist Master came following the shadow bead, reflected beautifully in the mountain stream, and the beauty of his appearance was still there. Above the two daughters Qin and Yu back then. Now she was standing in front of him, taking everything and taking it all, thinking about life and death. Time changes everything, and the fate of life is nothing more than this.
Wei Shiqi stretched out his index finger and pointed at the center of her eyebrows. Master Lan's breathing stopped momentarily, his eyes suddenly rose and fell, and his body suddenly separated, revealing three clones, all of which had the cultivation level of the Holy Realm. The first two were indistinguishable, and the third The breath is slightly weak.
Lan Zhenren practiced the Taoist "soul-killing technique". His soul was first divided into three, and then divided into a smaller half from the third, becoming the fourth clone. In the battle of Huangbei City, he was destroyed by the Jade Sword Mantis, and his soul was lost. If you have more, you can still maintain clarity and avoid being confused and losing consciousness.
Wei Shiqi withdrew his fingers, his soul eyes flashed under his right arm, and the remnant soul of Baopuzi appeared. The light wheel behind his head rotated, and a nine-story and eight-sided Kunwu Golden Pagoda flew out. The door opened, and the golden light swept away. , put the two clones of Master Lan into the tower, leaving only the third one.
Master Lan trembled all over, with a look of confusion in his eyes, as if he was lost. Wei Shiqi glanced at Master Mei. The two of them were connected mentally, and there was no need to put into words. Master Mei flicked his sleeves, his aura was rising steadily, and the golden threads emerged one by one under the snowy skin, looping and connecting, forming restrictions one by one. In an instant, the sky suddenly changed. Mei Zhenren used all his strength to activate the mighty power of heaven and earth. His jade palm suddenly pressed between Lan Zhenren's chest and abdomen, and the restraint entered her body like flowing clouds and flowing water.
Master Xian Sheng's body and soul are one, which is easy to destroy but difficult to peel off. Fortunately, Master Youlan cooperated and Master Mei took action. Wei Shiqi pinched a magic formula, grabbed it gently, and took out a residual soul in the clone.
He didn't look at it for a second, and went straight into his body. He immediately activated his spirit-eating technique and picked out a soul from Master Tianlan, a soul from Master Yangshen, a soul from Tianyao Bifang, and a soul from Chao Yuansan. Slowly refining the remaining soul that nourished Master Lan. Strengthening the soul does not happen overnight. Master Mei put the clone of his junior sister into the cliff monument and walked side by side with Wei Shiqi. They looked at the scenery of the Dongtian Mountains and chatted casually, just talking about Taoist anecdotes and laughing.
No one mentioned how his path would go, how her path would go, and how their path would go. This man and woman seem to be separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, the farthest distance in the world, but they also seem to be close to each other, with their ears and temples rubbing together, and there is no barrier between their hearts.
Hundreds of miles away in the mountains, Qin Zhen and Ruan Jing were sitting under a stream tree, listening to the sound of gurgling water, relatively speechless. Ruan Jing finally lost her temper and muttered: "Do you think he and Master Na Mei have anything to do with each other?"
Qin Zhen laughed and said softly: "So what if it is, what if it is not?"
Ruan Jing was very curious, "You have been with him the longest, don't you care at all?"
She guessed that Qin Zhen would smile indifferently and say, it doesn't matter if she cares or not, but she didn't wait for the rhetorical question. Qin Zhen turned her head and looked at her, paused, and said, "Do you still remember Yu Yao?"
Ruan Jing was slightly stunned. One sentence and one name suddenly brought back countless distant memories, including Flowing Stone Peak, Wuya Temple, the Demon Suppression Tower, and the lonely ghosts under the tower. She sighed: "Why don't you remember? She is very tall and has outstanding appearance, but she is too tough."
Qin Zhen said: "When I was in the Immortal Capital, I was his junior sister, and he was my senior brother Wei. Although I have been with him for the longest time, he may not be the most caring person. During the chaos in Chixia Valley, he She and Yu Yao were trapped in the heart of the mountain, spending time together day and night, and for two or three years, they had nothing to say...not talk about..." Her voice gradually lowered, and her eyes were clear and without any impurities.
"How did you know?"
"Yu Yao mentioned it once during a chat. Although she looks tough, she has no scheming and is a very pure person. This is what Senior Brother Wei said in private."
"Well, what then?" Ruan Jing's heart was pounding, as if the curtains were being lifted, and an astonishing secret was about to be revealed.
Qin Zhen looked at her caring little face and laughed, "You won't think of what Yu Yao said to me. Of course, those words were not said by her, she was just paraphrasing them. Those words... were said by Senior Brother Wei. of."
"What did he say?"
"He never told me about some of his innermost thoughts. He only told Yu Yao." Qin Zhen hesitated for a moment. Yu Yao didn't hide it from her, and she wouldn't hide it from Ruan Jing. "He said, no one in this world Will be kind to others for no reason, and all the efforts, whether intentional or unintentional, are expected to be rewarded. This kind of reward is sometimes immediate income, sometimes long-term benefits, and sometimes inner satisfaction. No one is exempt from this vulgarity. None To be courteous is to be either a traitor or a thief. Instead of trusting a hypocrite who doesn’t mean what he says and hides in the ghost world, it’s better to make a deal plainly.”
Yu Yao remembered every word, every word was correct, and so did Qin Zhen. When I was young, I was ignorant and ignorant. After so many years, when I think back on it, I always feel a little uncomfortable.
Ruan Jing shook her head subconsciously, "It may not always be like this. There is always some sacrifice without asking for anything in return, between husband and wife... between mother and child..." She hesitated, not so sure.
"Yes, that's what Yu Yao retorted at the time. He said that when parents pay for their children, they actually hope that their bloodline will continue. When a husband pays for his wife, he hopes that she will give birth to children for him. There is also a hidden instinct and nature behind it. Purpose, the fundamental relationship between people, is nothing more than the word 'interest'."
Ruan Jing smiled bitterly and said: "It turns out that's what he thought. It turns out...it's just a transaction..."
"I guess he has never really liked someone. If you are good to him, he will be good to you, but for him, this is just a 'deal'. He will not live up to it or abandon it, but he He has never been emotionally invested. He would find the body of a real elephant to enshrine his soul for me, and he would break into the inchworm world for you and bring you back to me, but he has never been emotionally invested."
Ruan Jing was touched. She remembered the story he told in the Demon Suppressing Tower. The story about the third son of Li Jing, the commander-in-chief of Chentangguan, said that he had disembowelled his intestines, cut off the flesh and bones, and killed his father to vent his anger, saying, "You don't If you betray me, I will not betray you. If you betray me, I will abandon you like a piece of shit, without thinking about it or caring about it." She suddenly felt tired and felt cold in her heart. She didn't understand why Qin Zhen wanted to point this out to her - yes Do you have a grudge and want to find someone to talk to?
Qin Zhen turned her gaze to the lush mountain forest, smiled, and said: "But even if it is a transaction, what does it matter? I like him, and I am willing to invest in my feelings. I don't care if there are other people around him, or not. I don’t care whether that person is a real elephant, whether he will become a true immortal, or whether I can fly to heaven with him... I only know that as long as I don’t let him down, he won’t let me down.”
Ruan Jing was silent for a long time. Qin Zhen's face was very different from what she remembered. The face of the real Elephant Li Jingyun made her feel extremely strange.
