She looked at him seriously, as if it were a thousand years. She suddenly smiled. The fire burned from beneath her feet and rose in the wind.

She chuckled in the fire, as if she was singing something, but she couldn't make a sound, and gradually dissipated into ashes.

Xiao Nan's whole body trembled slightly, and he tried hard to sniff his nasal cavity, reluctant to give up the fragrance in the wind, the familiar breath.

Hey, how I wish time could go back to yesterday and stay in the past.

I don't see the past life, I don't cultivate the next life, I only hope for the present day.

"It must be a special formation that makes me struggle so much. He woke up from his slump and looked up at the bronze statue that was getting closer.

"For a moment, I really wanted to stay in the formation, and I never wanted to wake up. ”

He stood up and walked towards the statue. The eyebrows of the bronze statue are already faintly recognizable, and it looks at the world compassionately, wanting to say nothing, as if it is torturing sentient beings.

After walking for a while, a bamboo courtyard was revealed in the valley.

The fences outside the courtyard are intertwined, and the bamboo walls and green eaves in the courtyard are intertwined.

Curiously, he pushed open the door and walked into the main hall. I saw the incense burner rising in the hall, the remaining smoke curling, and a portrait hanging on the front.

In the painting is a middle-aged Taoist priest with a kind face, holding a sword and looking into the distance.

"Anan, it's time to eat!"

A plainly dressed woman walked into the room with a bowl of soup and silver tea cakes, with a gentle smile on her face.

"Mother...... " Xiao Nan subconsciously sat down at the table and muttered.

"Silly boy, what's the fuss!, this is your bowl and chopsticks, hurry on!" Lan Xi knocked his little head, put the small bowl on the table, and handed the chopsticks.

"Mother, I want to eat silver tea cakes. Xiao Nan blinked twice and grinned.

"Wait a minute, my mother will see if it's hot. Lan Xi slapped his outstretched little hand, and took a piece of silver tea cake himself, but he was scalded.

She hurriedly took turns to catch it with her two hands, exhaled like an orchid, and blew gently, hoping to cool it faster.

"Mother, Anan is not afraid of heat. Xiao Nan reached out and took it from her hand, stuffed it into her small mouth and bit down on a big piece.

"Yes......" Lan Xi was suddenly stunned, stunned, "Anan has grown up...... Anan, my mother knows her own situation, the oil is exhausted, even if there is a ghost spirit grass to continue her life, how long can it last. ”

Xiao Nan's action of biting the silver tea cake froze and was silent.

"Anan, if your mother is gone, you have to live well, you know?" Lan Xi stroked his little head, his eyes and tone were full of tenderness.

Xiao Nan looked into the distance attentively, unaware that the silver tea cake in his mouth had been bitten for a long time.

"Anan, if one day...... The mother is gone, so I will bury the mother in the Banyan Valley. Lan Xi looked at the sky from afar and said quietly.

His whole body trembled slightly, and for a long time, he shook his head imperceptibly.

"After many years, life and death are at a loss. Ten years of dreams, a hundred years of love...... The world is long, but it is independent and vast. The frost and snow are bleak, and the dreams are cold. ”

Lan Xi looked up and sighed softly, his eyes showing sadness.

The bamboo courtyard gradually dissipated into ashes in her voice, followed by the bamboo house, which slowly returned to nothingness, and finally ...... It's herself.

"Mother...... " Xiao Nan muttered, and the silver tea cake in his mouth dissipated silently. When he came back to his senses, he was already in tears.

The fiery red sky reflected the earth, and the crimson rocks clotted like blood.

He became silent, step by step, carefully and earnestly, as if there were ups and downs under every foot.

The statue is getting closer.

A thin figure stood in front of him, above a high post, his clothes fluttering in the wind. globe

Xiao Nan, who looked like a child, approached, like a boy who went up the mountain to learn the Tao, humble and pious.

"What are you looking for?" asked the young man under the sky, his voice confused and persistent.

Confused in not knowing where the road is, what to seek, clinging to where the Tao is, what the answer is.

"yes...... What the hell am I looking for?" Xiao Nan asked repeatedly, his eyes confused.

Once upon a time, I was just an ordinary young man in the new century, like most people, who couldn't afford to rent a house, buy a car, get married, have a baby, want to live, couldn't afford to pay for pension and medical care, wanted to die, and couldn't get together for cremation and funeral.

Later, he also made bold statements.

If you can't set foot in the practice, taste the ability to fly to the sky and the earth, watch the magnificent scenery, break through the hustle and bustle of the world, the extreme of the end of the world, swing the world and the earth are uneven in the road, and cut the ancient demon beast in the sword......

Riding the wind and the seas, at ease, just like the vulgar people, muddy and nightmarish, dying in the twilight of life, and wasting reincarnation...... What do I Xiao Nansheng mean?

Once upon a time, I made a grand wish—

"I hope that one day, I can stand on the top of the world and let the whole world look up to me. Because, only I, who am invincible in the world, can truly protect my relatives. ”

What am I looking for?

I'm just living! I'm just trying to live wonderfully! I'm just trying to live a real and warm life!

Only I am like this, and I live up to this life!

Ask the heart, ask the question, ask the practice.

Truth-seeking, right-seeking, and immortal path.

Is this the only way to live?

The young man in front of him was trembling, trembling, and suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed: "Chaowen Dao, it is okay to die at night! Chaowen Dao, it is okay to die at night......

Pieces of his body shattered, and the breeze blew through and disappeared.

The sky was as red as the tide receded, and the bubbling sound of magma "gurgling" and "gurgling" could be heard in the distance.

Xiao Nan raised his head in a daze, and the tall bronze statue stood in front of him, as if he was looking into the distance, meditating, and as if he was looking at himself with his eyes, pointing directly at his soul.

"Poof!"

A cry of pain woke up the pensive Xiao Nan.

He followed the prestige, and saw the lightly veiled Fairy Ji standing not far behind him, a mouthful of blood spurting out, his eyes were blank, and he fell to the ground.

He looked around again, and the others were gone, and there was no sign of the red gold galleon.

He groaned, walked up to Fairy Ji, probed her nose and the whites of her eyes, and found that she had passed out with serious injuries.

"Since there is fate, I will save you once. Xiao Nan is not a cold-blooded and ruthless person after all, so he took out a grain of grass and fed it to her.

"This fire feather ruins are so weird, with my ability alone, if I want to go out, I'm afraid it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky. One more person is also one more strength. ”

He helped Fairy Ji lean against the bronze statue, so that he had time to carefully observe the surrounding environment.

Huge bronze statues stand on the island, with a sea of lava in the distance. The island is small, and behind the statue is a mountain path that leads to the peak in the center of the island.

The peaks of the island are connected to the roofs of the underground caves, and I don't know where they lead, so I am afraid that you can only know if you walk up the mountain path.

"Hmm...... Ahem, ahem!" Fairy Ji woke up slowly, "Where is this......?" Have you walked out of the Ancient Array of Conscience?"

She rubbed her head in confusion, only to feel that her whole body was as uncomfortable as if she had broken bones, and there was still blood spilling from the corners of her mouth.

"What is the Questioning Heart Ancient Array?" Xiao Nan had already turned into the appearance of the second worm, and asked with a frown.
