Yuan Shuyu looked over and showed a surprised expression.

He really didn't notice that there was a man sitting cross-legged under the tree.

The man was dressed in black, and his face was full of wrinkles, which looked like the bark of a tree, so that no one who saw him would notice him.

And above this person's head, there is a tree full of fireflies, which adds a mysterious temperament to this person.

Although this person's face is wrinkled and looks droopy and old, his eyes are like a baby, pure, translucent, black and white, which makes people feel a little weird.

Seeing this person, Qi Ziqing breathed a sigh of relief: It's just the Mahayana period, and it can't hurt his master. Moreover, looking at the peaceful appearance of this old man, it does not look like there is any bad intention.

Yuan Shuyu smiled slightly, "Yes, I'm here." Old man, you brought me here with those two fireflies, right?"

Yuan Shuyu looked at the old man, and a feeling of closeness suddenly rose in his heart.

It's like meeting a long-lost blood relative, just like meeting an old friend you haven't seen for many years.

Yuan Shuyu was shocked in his heart, not knowing whether this feeling came from the old man's way of doing it, or the throbbing contained in the depths of his blood.

The old man seemed to see through Yuan Shuyu's thoughts, "My name is Baqing, and my body contains the bloodline of the five-clawed golden dragon, the bloodline of the great witch of the Wu clan, and the bloodline of Qingluan......

Listening to the old man's words, Yuan Shuyu and Qi Ziqing were stunned.

These three bloodlines, any kind of bloodline, are very powerful, and if a person can contain one of them, he must be a genius among geniuses, and his cultivation is very fast.

And this old man actually contains three kinds of blood.

The bloodline of the Wu clan is okay, after all, the Wu clan and humans intermarry a lot.

And the bloodline of Qingluan, the bloodline of the five-clawed golden dragon is relatively rare.

The fact that this bully can have both bloodlines at the same time can only show that his parents are very well-born creatures.

And Yuan Shuyu also understood that there should be no way for this bully to do it, it was the five-clawed golden dragon bloodline contained in his body, which made him feel cordial.

The bully stood up.

Suddenly, a number of fireflies lingered around him like children who had found their relatives, emitting a little light around him.

Seeing the old man smiling, walking from the small river with a dark background, surrounded by a little bright firefly, Yuan Shuyu was stunned again.

The old man had a kind face and a warm smile, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a beautiful picture.

"I've lived in this country for sixty years. Sixty years ago, I lived in a valley in the Kunlun Mountains of Huaxia Kingdom. Although I miss my hometown very much, there are no more people and things I care about there. So, I'm living here very well. ”

Yuan Shuyu nodded. Even in ancient times, Kunlun Mountain was also a gathering place for many sects and many immortal cultivators.

Kunlun Mountain stretches for thousands of kilometers, and it is indeed a place with abundant spiritual energy that is suitable for cultivation.

As he spoke, the old man pointed to a valley on the other side of the river, "That valley is where I live." I have hardly set foot in the valley in 60 years, and today is the first time I have walked this far to meet my friends. ”

What the old man has not yet said is that because of the peculiarity of the old man, because the old man has treated many people, that valley is called the Sacred Valley by the locals.

And the old man is also called the holy elder by everyone.

In people's minds, it is a living fairy-like existence.

Yuan Shuyu smiled slightly, "How do you know that I have arrived." ”

The old man smiled, "I just happened to know the art of hexagrams, and I used hexagrams to speculate, and a little friend who was very close to me came here." I also know the secret art of the witch clan, and I can observe the world through animals and insects. So, I 'see' you coming. ”

"'Seeing' you to go to the night market, I used the secret method of the Wu clan through two fireflies to guide you to come. It really took a lot of my energy. ”

Yuan Shuyu nodded, "I'm also glad to meet you here." ”

Ba Qing said, "You are a pure-blooded five-clawed golden dragon, and your bloodline is still very noble. I observe your luck, although you have only been born for a few months, you have killed many people, not to mention, and some people have also died because of you. Well, it's still a bit bad to say. ”

Yuan Shuyu frowned. The people he killed were all the people who deserved to be killed, and the people who died because of him were also the ones who deserved to die.

Doing these things, he is determined and has no regrets.

Yuan Shuyu's expression naturally did not hide his thoughts and emotions.

Ba Qing smiled, "I know, you probably don't like to hear that. But I still have to say. As the pride of the sky, it is nothing to kill a few people. However, killing too many people is still not good after all. ”

"You have good strength, and you have a powerful ghost servant by your side. No matter what the situation, there is no danger. So, whether you can kill or don't kill. ”

Yuan Shuyu thought about Baqing's words and nodded, "Okay, I remember your words." But I've always been the one who deserves to be killed. None of those who died at my hands were innocent. ”

Ba Qing smiled again, "Look at these fireflies, they are only ten days, twenty days of splendor, and the life of a lifetime is only a few months." You say, should they exist? What is the purpose of their existence?"

As he spoke, Yuan Shuyu saw a picture unfolding in front of his eyes.

A firefly, which emerges from its egg, becomes a larva, becomes a chrysalis, becomes an adult--- becomes a true firefly.

The process is short and exciting.

When I saw the fireflies become adults, flying among the grass and trees, looking for their mates, the gorgeous time is only a few days, ten days, twenty days, or even less than thirty days.

Yuan Shuyu didn't know what was wrong, and shed two lines of sentimental tears.

In the eyes of humans, the life of a firefly is short, and even somewhat pathetic.

Their brilliant bloom is like fireworks, beautiful, shocking, but very short-lived.

They are in such a hurry that they complete the life process of a living being, and they die and are buried.

In the eyes of the five-clawed golden dragon, are humans with short lives different?

And in the eyes of those immortals, the same is true of the five-clawed golden dragon, right?

Yuan Shuyu suddenly felt a little confused.

Since the rebirth of the possessed dragon, he has never felt lost.

From the beginning, I thought about making my family live well, improving my strength, and so that others could no longer bully me.

When he met Qi Xuangui, he wanted to avenge the Qi family.

Later, he wanted to integrate greater forces and let his family have more power.

I feel that my life is also fulfilling and meaningful.

However, in the eyes of this old man, everything he has done is actually like these fireflies in his eyes.

Small, ephemeral, meaningless......

Suddenly, a wave of irritability rose in Yuan Shuyu's heart, and he remembered the three most essential questions in philosophy: Who am I, where do I come from, and where am I going?
