midnight.
Dark clouds covered the moon, and a cool breeze blew over me.
The mountain road was difficult to navigate, and the two of them stumbled along the way.
When I got home, it was already moonlight above the treetops. An owl with glowing green eyes disappeared, and the next moment it appeared on the scarecrow in the field.
Dayang Mountain, which covered the moon in the distance, was like a guard in the middle of the night. Behind it was a cool silver light, and several wolf howls could be heard from time to time.
Sun Yuan looked at the cold room, using the faint moonlight, and whispered awkwardly: "Where are you going to live?"
Dong Qingqiu said without hesitation: "Leave now."
Only dark clouds were floating in the calm sky, but Sun Yuan was stunned as if she had been struck by lightning. She did not expect that he left so hastily.
"There are wolves in the mountains, can you wait until dawn to leave?" Sun Yuan said with pleading and concern.
Dong Qingqiu smiled slightly, stood on tiptoe and tried to be eye-level with her. He reached out and touched Sun Yuan's head that was wet by the mountains and rivers. He said helplessly: "Anyway, you will die. I can't hurt you anymore."
Before Sun Yuan could speak, Dong Qingqiu turned around and left quickly.
After walking dozens of steps, he suddenly looked back. Sun Yuan was still standing in front of the house, staring at herself. When I left for the first time, I didn’t look back. I wonder how long that silly girl stood in the snow? Looking back now, she was still standing there. Maybe she stood there for a long time that day and didn't even wait for him to look back at her.
Dong Qingqiu turned around, waved his hand, and said in a voice that the two of them could hear: "When I become the Ten Dao Immortal, I will take you to see all the scenery in the world. Whether you like it or not, I will definitely take you there."
Dong Qingqiu showed a big smile, but it was so tight that he could no longer open it, because he was afraid that Sun Yuan would not see him.
Sun Yuan stood at the door, waved to Dong Qingqiu, and promised with joy: "Okay! I'll wait for you, you will definitely become the most powerful Taoist Immortal."
When Dong Qingqiu saw the response, he turned around and left, turning his back to Sun Yuan and waving again, as if saying his final farewell.
"Let's go, stop looking."
Every time people say goodbye, they don’t know when they will meet again. Maybe the next meeting will be a separation of life and death.
Dong Qingqiu ran wildly, falling to the ground several times, then got up and continued running until he reached the woods during the day.
"Fairy sister!"
There was only an empty echo in the woods.
"Fairy sister!"
I shouted several times but still no response.
"Fairy Liu."
…
"Empress Liu?"
Somewhere, a pair of eyes opened slightly, but there was still no response.
Dong Qingqiu clasped his hands at the corners of his mouth and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Mother Liu, Empress Liu, Liu Caiqi."
I shouted three different names in succession, but still no response.
Dong Qingqiu took a deep breath and shouted again: "I know you can hear me, but are you going to die and refuse to save me? A woman's life is about to fall into the mud, but you refuse to save her. This is What do you call a great road?"
"Is this the female Taoist companion of your Dao? It turns out it's not more than this!" Dong Qingqiu finished speaking in one breath, closed his eyes, and waited quietly for what?
Somewhere, those eyes disappeared. A breeze blew past Dong Qingqiu, carrying a hint of pear blossom fragrance.
Without waiting for the fleeting fragrance to disappear, Dong Qingqiu hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowed devoutly, and placed his palms flat against his ears.
"This junior did not get a response from the fairy, so he chose to offend the fairy out of helplessness. I hope the fairy will forgive me!" Dong Qingqiu closed his eyes tightly and said in a pious tone.
A breeze blew up around Dong Qingqiu, making bursts of wind chimes. He felt like he was floating in the air, flying proudly above the sky, wandering in the universe, and looking back at the long river of time.
Dong Qingqiu still closed his eyes tightly and refused to see what was happening in the outside world. Even if he finally fell into the river, he still refused to open his eyes.
Feeling that there was no change in the surroundings, Dong Qingqiu knelt down in the river and said calmly: "I want to make a deal with the fairy."
It took a long time before the echo echoed: "Since we are making a deal, why don't you open your eyes?"
Dong Qingqiu answered frankly: "Don't tell the sky, don't know the earth, hide it from all things, keep it out of sight, deceive yourself and others! I don't know the buyer, I am not the seller, whether the thing is done or not, it is a one-shot deal."
The next moment, I appeared in front of me, with the wisp of breeze retracted in my hand, and said shamelessly: "You want to hide it from the sky?"
Dong Qingqiu laughed, no longer as timid as before, but said to himself: "How many proud men in ancient and modern times died young? What is the reason for this? Isn't it because of the amazing opportunities and incredible blessings? ? In order to prevent its rule from being threatened by these proud men, Heaven often takes fatal chances and secretly strangles those proud men in the cradle? It is said that if the fairy wants to unite the avenues and save the woman, she must become a thousand No one has become a Ten Dao Immortal in millions of years. Although I only know that a fairy must become a Ten Dao Immortal in order to have the unity of the Dao and a bargaining chip with heaven, but I don’t know what is the opportunity for a fairy to become a Ten Dao Immortal? Why not give up the so-called Immortal first? Opportunity, find another way to reach the tenth path first, and then seek opportunities to go to the next level to reach the eleventh path of immortality? With just a small transaction, I can help the fairy, killing three birds with one stone."
Liu Caiqi held her chin, her expression a little solemn, and finally burst into laughter.
"What qualifications do you have to make a deal with me? Why should I care about her life or death? There are so many women in the Taoist world, do you still need me to rescue them one by one? Then I won't die of exhaustion? It's better to let them fend for themselves. Anyway, they are a group of unteachable fools who are originally at the bottom and don’t want to make progress. Can I really save them? As for how to become the ten immortals, or even the eleventh path of immortality, you don’t have to worry about it. On the contrary, it’s you , he is obviously just an ordinary mortal who can no longer be ordinary, why he knows so much is worth thinking about."
Dong Qingqiu smiled calmly, he had already thought about this problem. This was his first big gamble when he came back. If he didn't have any courage, how could he become the eleventh immortal above the ten? The Tao of Immortality.
In fact, Liu Caiqi is right. We are already at the bottom. If we don't risk our lives, what will we gain? Take a tiny bit of luck? Or the mercy of others? dream! Only by relying on oneself and risking one's life every time can one go further and further and realize one's own path to immortality - the eleventh immortal.
"To be honest with what the fairy said, there are all kinds of wonders in the world. Some people can practice a thousand miles a day, some people can reach enlightenment and soar in one day, and some people can know the past and present... and I am one of them. I know the past and the present to know the future."
Dong Qingqiu clenched his fists that touched the water tightly, waiting for Liu Caiqi's answer.
Liu Caiqi smiled and asked: "You mean immortality? What's so good about the eleven paths of immortality?"
"Since the eleven paths to immortality are so good, then why does one of the Three Pure Immortal Emperors only stop at the ten paths of living beings? One stops at the eleven paths of immortality? The last one can reach the twelve infinite paths. Do I know?"
"Is it because the Immortal Emperor of the Ten Paths has poor talent and cannot improve further? Or does he feel guilty in his heart? Is the Immortal Emperor of Immortality really just greedy for a false reputation in the Taoist world? He only lives for one person? Does the Immortal Emperor of Selflessness have other reasons for giving up the Tao of Immortality? What’s the picture?”
Dong Qingqiu was speechless, but still couldn't give up.
"When Fairy Liu said so much, did you want to express that she is inferior to others? Or what, I don't know. I only know that when I first arrived here, Fairy Liu used her magical power to cut off the connection between this place and the heaven and earth. The connection between them. If Fairy Liu says that she has no intention, I really don’t believe it.”
"Although I don't know the purpose of my immortality, I know that Liu Xianzi's immortality is to seek peace for everyone for my own personal gain."
"As for the ability of the Ten Immortals to go back against the current, I don't like it, and I don't like the ability of the Twelve Immortals to go back to the future even more. I only like the Eleven Immortality Paths, without any reason."
"Nowadays, heaven has been overthrown, many opportunities and avenues are scattered in the world, and many priesthoods are vacant. Those idiot Taoist immortals only know the petty profits in front of them, and they do not hesitate to fight for opportunities, take other people's avenues, and obtain The priesthood fills the vacancy. What a bunch of short-sighted guys, it’s hard not to make people laugh, it’s ridiculous, it’s really ridiculous!”
"Fairies are also for the priesthood, and the Lord of Heaven is not a fool. He can still distinguish between an opponent and a friend. Of course, I didn't mean to say fairies. Fairies are for all women in the Taoist world, and I am only for myself. Compared with fairies, I feel ashamed."
"Thousands of years have passed, but in the blink of an eye, after all, it is just a handful of dust. In the end, the soul disappears in the long river of time, and all the efforts are in vain. Isn't it a pity to give up eleven paths for the priesthood? In the end, wearing the mask of God, suppress Or for the purpose of annihilating those who are determined, Fairy, I don’t need to say more, right?”
"And I will be the one who has encountered tremendous changes throughout the ages and walked out of the long river of time. Although the road is difficult, I will die without regrets."
"What does your dream have to do with me? What benefit does it bring to me to talk so much?" Liu Caiqi said displeased.
"Fairies are smart people. In fact, they have already understood the meaning of the words. Why pretend to be confused because they understand?"
Seeing the other party, he still said nothing, and the young man in the water just smiled slightly.
In order to show his sincerity, Dong Qingqiu finally reluctantly said, "Fairy Liu, I have a way to become one of the ten immortals."
Liu Caiqi's eyes moved slightly, she put a finger as white as green onion to her mouth, and smiled softly: "Why should I trust a child? A guy who knows the past, present and future who can't cancel his contract?"
The sound of water flowing was loud. Dong Qingqiu stood up and almost fell. Step by step, relying on his senses, he came to Liu Caiqi and looked at her. He sneered and said, "Does the fairy know about the purple energy yin and yang gourd?"
"This way!"
Dong Qingqiu frowned in embarrassment and turned to the left. He still didn't hear any answer. He could only explain himself: "There are four kinds of innate Tao source Qi in the Tao world. They belong to the Qi required at different stages, and becoming a Ten Dao Immortal requires Only by being guided by the Heavenly Void Qi can one be lucky enough to become a Ten Dao Immortal and look down on the sky."
"It is said that the Taoist ancestors traveled to the Taoist world, picked a gourd from the roadside, stored water to quench their thirst, and refined the Heavenly Void Qi into water to quench their thirst. Later, the Taoist ancestors left this gourd behind when he left, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise and became a rare existence. magic weapon."
"The Purple Qi Yin-Yang Gourd can absorb all the Heavenly Deficiency Qi in the Tao Realm, and then through its accumulated refining over time, you can become one of the Ten Dao Immortals. It's just that one benefit comes from a hundred harms, but as long as it benefits yourself."
Liu Caiqi nodded as if she suddenly understood, and said: "I am indeed tempted, but why should I believe you?"
"Just because it will benefit you without any harm. If you rely on this method to become a Ten Dao Immortal, then no one in the Dao world will become a Ten Dao Immortal. In this way, your negotiation with the Lord of Heaven will be more favorable." Dong Qingqiu said confidently.
After Liu Caiqi thought for a moment, she asked, "How do you want to make a deal?"
"Give me the ghost bones and help me break the contract with you." Dong Qingqiu said with confidence, the lion said.
"I can lend you that bone. As for the contract... I can escape the monk, but I can't escape the temple." Liu Caiqi said coldly, not at all like a person making deals.
"If it doesn't work, forget it." Liu Caiqi said, her feet making frequent sounds, as if she was about to leave.
Dong Qingqiu had no choice but to accept it.
When leaving, Liu Caiqi kindly reminded: "After three days, remember to die."
Dong Qingqiu opened his eyes, stared at the moon with a corner exposed, and said coldly: "We will never see each other again in three days."
Looking at the bones in his hand, Dong Qingqiu pondered for a long time. He didn't understand why he would take such a big risk, just for a woman he had met several times?
Dong Qingqiu shook his head slightly, smiled slightly, took one last look at the direction he came from, and walked towards the mountains without looking back.
A ghost knocks on the door in the middle of the night.
There was a person walking slowly on the way we came here. I couldn't see his appearance clearly, I could only feel his eyeballs.
Dong Qingqiu's eyelids twitched and he looked at the exploded tomb in front of him indifferently. Without any emotion, he just added a handful of dirt and continued walking towards the mountains.
There is an open mountainside to the north of Xiaoyang Mountain that is extremely flat. This stunning mountain village was built on it, with bright lights, adding a touch of color to the lonely mountain.
There is a huge thing like a bull's head hanging at the entrance of the village, which is extremely scary.
There isn't a big tree around, so you can clearly see what's nearby at a glance.
The two bandits who were keeping watch at night clenched the spears in their hands and looked at the slowly approaching figure with vigilance.
Under the illumination of the moonlight, the shadow was stretched very long, and the man could not come over even if he stood where he was. The two bandits silently took a breath, and the strength in their hands unconsciously increased a bit.
Since the moon was behind the man, the two could not see his face clearly. We can only let one person hold him back while another person rushes to report the news.
"Go and notify the Third Master, I'll be here to guard you." The bandit looked at the brother who was going to notify him, and felt a little more confident in his heart. He shouted to the guy whose face he couldn't see, "That bitch? Even if you are blind, you can't even see where this place is. Even if the Lord of Hell comes, you won't be able to see it."
Two breaths of a figure not far away suddenly appeared in front of him, but he couldn't see his upper body, and he suddenly fell to the ground in fear.
Xiao Luoluo, who was paralyzed on the ground and unable to stand up, opened his eyes in horror but could no longer close them.
Dong Qingqiu threw the head back in his hand, kicked the corpse in front of him, jumped lightly onto the huge skull at the entrance of the village, and said coldly and ruthlessly: "The King of Hell is coming at midnight, and the time is up. "
The young people who were watching the night inside hurried to the entrance of Dazhaizi. Dong Qingqiu shouted excitedly: "I will send you to see the King of Hell first."
Dong Qingqiu jumped up high, looking like an owl hunting mice in the field under the moonlight. He swooped down like an arrow from a string and made a big hole in the center of the crowd.
Many people exploded instantly, and the blood mist danced under the moonlight. Dong Qingqiu's whole body was blood red, half human and half ghost, spinning at a very fast speed. The people who surrounded him felt that their lower bodies were unconscious, and then their whole face was covered with blood.
No one dared to take a step forward anymore. They could only feel that they were still alive by holding the big knife tightly in their hands.
At their feet were brothers who had been cut off from the waist. Some of the survivors were howling miserably, and some were hugging their private parts, dragging their bloody intestines with their bellies exposed. They climbed up with difficulty on the ground and slowly approached themselves, with a long body behind them. His intestines fell to the ground, twisting and crawling on the ground like dozens of long worms.
"Ghost! It's a ghost. Run!"
There was a sound of panic, and the remaining five or six people dropped the swords in their hands and ran away. Suddenly they felt that their feet were not in control and they fell to the ground.
A burst of severe pain came from both legs, and one person huddled together in pain, screaming and hugging the leg that had lost both feet, and screamed incessantly.
Dong Qingqiu looked like a ghost under the moonlight. He shuttled back and forth in the blink of an eye, only to be left with a big man holding his legs bleeding and wailing continuously.
At this moment, the big man could clearly see his face. He was a kid crawling out of hell, covered in blood, with a big mouth on his scarlet cheeks, laughing at himself, and looking at the slowly raised sword.
Dozens of black shadows rolled down the slope in the moonlight.
Dong Qingqiu stepped on the head of the frightened big man who was shaking violently, raised the knife in his hand, looked at the big man's protruding eyeballs and torn corners of his mouth, and smiled.
He kicked the head away from his feet and immediately caught up with the rolling head in front of him.
