Life.

There is nothing more unbearable than loneliness.

Especially the loneliness that is so long that there is no end in sight.

Three thousand years ago, Jiang Han felt so.

His first master, the moment before the rise of the sun, stroked the top of his head on the top of Taihua Mountain, and sighed slightly:

"Jiang Han, your roots are not worse than others, your talent is still extraordinary, you have been practicing for five thousand years as a teacher, and you don't understand why you have been in the Qi refining period for three thousand years? ”

After speaking, his first master, the head of the Taihua Sect, one of the nine sects of the Immortal Dao, rose to become an immortal and went to the upper realm.

Jiang Han was also very helpless.

He waved at his master, tears rolling in his eyes, imagining that one day he could soar like his master.

However, it is a very happy thing to be able to see his master soar into an immortal.

Of course, there are too many unhappy things.

He personally sent off his friends one by one.

Witness their lives and watch them die of old age.

And he is still like an eighteen-year-old boy, and he has not changed at all.

Time flies, and now he has been refining qi for 9,000 years, and more than 6,000 years have passed since the first master ascended to immortality.

He was still in the Qi Refining Period, but he had only reached the Nine Thousand Nine Hundred and Ninety-Nine Layer of Qi Refining.

According to what the first master said, what about the thousands of layers of Qi refining?

Qi refining, foundation building, knotting, primordial infant, transforming gods, out of the body, refining void, merging, Mahayana, and crossing the tribulation.

Ten realms, refining qi is the realm of cultivation entry.

Others have built a foundation after refining qi at the tenth level, and he ......

He couldn't figure out if there was something wrong with his body?

For this reason, he specialized in the art of pill medicine and became a master of pills, testing his body thousands of times, but still did not detect any problems with his body.

He has also tried many methods of self-destruction, but all of them have failed.

He was desperate and had to go with the flow to fend for himself, but he lived younger and younger.

For more than 9,000 years, he has witnessed the rise and fall of the Taihua Sect, and has witnessed and participated in the ups and downs of this world.

After experiencing too many joys, sorrows, joys and sorrows, he has become dull or numb, and his heart has become rock-solid.

He has forgotten his specific age, and he has also become the oldest "senior brother" of the Taihua Sect

He became a story of the Taihua Sect, a story that few people knew.

Or "jokes"

The current head of Taihua Sect once sighed in Taihua Temple: "This Jiang Han is afraid that he is a disaster star, it is recorded in the roster that he has been in the field for more than 9,200 years, witnessed the rise of five generations of masters, and also survived the death of five generations of masters, and now Taihua Sect is also declining, I am afraid that it is caused by his disaster star, if it is not for his qualifications that are older than me, I really want to expel him from Taihua Sect as a master of the sect, how can there be a person who has practiced for more than 9,000 years, and has been in the realm of refining qi? If this is spread out, I am afraid that my Taihua Sect will become a laughing stock of immortals." ”

These words reached Jiang Han's ears through the relationship, and Jiang Han only smiled bitterly.

For the rest, there is no more language.

In this way, he lived in the outer gate of the Taihua Sect day after day.

Every morning, he holds a fishing rod made of green bamboo, digs two earthworms in the loose soil as bait, puts a rocking chair on the edge of the Linghu Lake, lies on the rocking chair and throws the bait fishing line to the Linghu Lake, and he closes his eyes and starts a leisurely life for the day.

When the disciples who passed by or came to Linghu to fish saw it, they would sneer and smile, peek at Jiang Han's eyes, then whisper a few words, and finally leave in a hurry.

If Jiang Han woke up, these disciples would put on a respectful face and sing: Senior Brother.

Jiang Han would leave here at dusk, carrying an empty bucket for fish, and slowly returned to his residence.

"Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine layers, only one layer is missing, after breaking through, will I be able to enter the foundation building realm?"

Walking on the way back to his residence, carrying an empty bucket and carrying a fishing rod, Jiang Han asked himself in his heart.

In fact, he himself has no bottom in his heart.

And it's not sure when this layer will break through.

Thinking of the dog he once raised, he flew into a dog immortal and went to the upper realm six thousand years ago, Jiang Han missed it very much.

If it hadn't ascended, it must have been following him by now, its tail wagging from side to side, its mouth open and its tongue sticking out as if talking to him.

It was a wild dog cub he picked up in the mountains, and after raising it for 3,000 years, he turned into a dog fairy and ascended, and it was also his longest-time friend.

That's right, it's a friend, because Jiang Han didn't think of it as a dog.

Back to his residence, he lived in a group courtyard at the outer gate of the Taihua Sect.

In a courtyard, there are ten to twenty low bungalows, one for each disciple.

The courtyard where Jiang Han lives is a ten-person room, and as soon as he enters the empty courtyard, he sees the smile in the clear and aura eyes of "Mu Zhi'er".

Her smile is very sweet and beautiful, at least Jiang Han, who has read countless people, thinks so, seeing her smile will remind him of someone.

The girl who gave him so much joy and happiness 5,000 years ago.

"Hello brother. ”

Mu Zhi'er's voice was so beautiful and familiar that Jiang Han saw her smile and heard her voice, and he had the illusion of a lover beside him in a trance.

"Sister Zhi'er is good. ”

Jiang Han came back to his senses, smiled faintly, and looked away from her.

Mu Zhi'er has only been in this courtyard for more than a month, and she is a new outer disciple who has been promoted from the assessment of the miscellaneous battalion.

Jiang Han remembered the day she moved in, after seeing herself, she jumped up and screamed with joy, and finally gave herself a hug.

Indeed, as the elder brother of the outer sect, Jiang Han's reputation in the Taihua Sect is really too thunderous.

Although this reputation is a bit like that......

Perhaps Mu Zhi'er was excited that she was promoted to the outer gate, and she was able to live under the eaves of the same courtyard with the legendary "senior brother" of the outer gate.

"How many fish did the senior brother catch?"

Mu Zhi'er stepped forward and saw Jiang Hanti's empty bucket, and laughed out loud, "I'm still thinking about adding some food, hehe." ”

Jiang Han smiled faintly, "If you want to eat, I won't release a few of them tomorrow, and I'll bring them back for you to eat." ”

"Okay, senior brother is the best. ”

Mu Zhi'er smiled like a flower road.

In a house in the distance, a pair of eyes fell on Jiang Han with a cold and jealous gaze through the narrow window.

"Phew, old waste, I really think I'm a big brother. ”

Jin Hua took a sip and retracted his gaze, and shouted viciously in his room, "Tomorrow I will participate in the inner door assessment and become an inner door disciple, before leaving this broken place, I must taste the taste of that little slut." ”
