Under the statue of the Taoist temple.

The white-haired young man stood in front of the throne of the Emperor Zhenwu with his hands in his hands.

One high and one low.

But his expression was extremely calm, and although he looked up, he was level.

Zhou You slowly turned his head, looked at the pair of young men and women who stepped into the temple, and said with a gentle smile: "Ning Yi, you really live up to my expectations, you have condensed the 'Great Dao River'." ”

The fine snow is closed, and the tip of the umbrella is gently pressed against the ground.

After the umbrella is collected, the rain spreads along the umbrella cloth and slides over the tip of the umbrella, and the ground is moist.

Ning Yi looked at the thin white-haired young man, his eyes were very complicated, there was excitement, relief, and emotion of reunion after a long absence.

Mr. Zhou You has the grace of teaching him.

On Luojia Mountain, he taught the forbidden techniques of the Ten Sacred Mountains and helped him open the door of the "Acquired Dao Fetus".

Ning Yi said softly: "A few days ago, I had already found Mr., but the reincarnation of cause and effect, life and death are fateful, and this young man's life should not be extinguished, so I didn't wake you up." ”

Zhou You nodded, "I have seen everything you said and done...... You're doing it right. Our monks, born between heaven and earth, do what they do is to fight with the heavens, for a year, a month, a day, an hour, a moment, all of them. This is true of the monks, and so it is with the layman, and although the boy is sick and weak, he should not be deprived of the right to live. ”

His eyes were a little guilty, and he muttered: "When I was 'silent' in the Lotus Dojo, when I was born and died, I realized a ray of inspiration, and my soul was thousands of miles away, and in a blur, I found the body of a dying person to be the 'immortal body', but I never thought that it was a transcendent act, but it was contaminated with thousands of red dust. ”

Zhou You raised his palm and looked at the intertwined lines in his palm.

The original palace master of Zixiao Palace, who was not stained with dust, had disappeared from this world.

Zhou Jingjing's body is entangled with karma...... Because he also has a younger sister.

Zhou You set his eyes on the sleeping little girl on the bed, and said softly: "This little guy named 'Zhou Yushui' is very good to me. ”

Ning Yi was stunned.

He noted...... The words that traveled just now.

Very good for me.

Is Mr. Zhou You's soul integrated into this body?

The white-haired young man smiled meaningfully and said in a low voice: "Actually, this young man's longevity is not over, and he should live for a few more years...... This Qingjian of yours protects the pulse of his heart, and in another week, he will be able to get out of bed. ”

Zhou Yushui survived for three years.

Just to see this scene.

It's a pity...... Her brother, because of this sudden accident, died in the Taoist temple.

Ning Yi thought in a trance, there may really be a long line of cause and effect in this world, because of that thief, Zhou Yushui got acquainted with himself and got the "life-continuing" Qingjian, which should have allowed Zhou Jingzhen to live a little longer, but because of stealing that cause, the unexpected result was extended.

Life and death are not up to anyone.

Zhou You suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Don't tell anyone about what I woke up, and don't let the Dao Sect know." ”

Ning Yi was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "Mr. doesn't want the Dao Sect to know?"

Zhou You nodded.

He stood under the sculpture of Emperor Zhenwu and thought for a long time.

"The appearance of the third method of immortality is not a good thing...... If I were still alive, then the Daoist sect would have another dispute. His expression was a little gloomy, and his words were also murderous, "It is possible that the Dao Sect will welcome me back to Zixiao Palace with 'Pulling Sins', but for me...... I will lose my freedom. ”

"The third method of longevity is enough to break the 'balance'. Ning Yi's eyes lit up and murmured, "No matter what."

Daozong, Lingshan, or Tiandu...... If you get this method, then there will be a qualitative change. ”

Zhou You was silent for a moment.

He said quietly: "There is no perfect 'longevity technique' in this world. The 'third method of immortality' that I am pursuing, in the final analysis, is nothing more than that, gambling on the magic of life and death to seal this technique, who else in this world can do it except me to travel around?

Ning Yi and the girl were silent for a while.

"I almost forgot about someone, Xu Zang should be able to do it. The corners of Zhou You's lips slightly hooked an arc, and the white-haired young man casually picked the fruit plate in front of the throne of Emperor Zhenwu, took a bite of the apple, and said with a vague smile: "That guy doesn't care about such a thing as life, throw everything away, and will also rush into the Tiandu Imperial City, and then give Emperor Taizong a sword." ”

The travel at this moment is already different from the palace master of Zixiao Palace in Ning Yi's cognition.

There are a lot more pyrotechnics.

It's also more like a flesh-and-blood person.

Ning Yi sighed, "You guessed it right. ”

He talked about what happened after the Lotus Dojo with Zhou You.

Half an hour later.

The white-haired young man who had finished nibbling on the apple looked at Ning Yi with a frown, and muttered, "Emperor Taizong is dead?" did Xu Zang really give him a sword?"

Ning Yi said helplessly: "Yes...... It almost worked. If you hadn't cut a gap in the fine snow in the first place. ”

Zhou You was silent for a long time.

"At that funeral, I had a hunch...... How could a guy like Xu Zang die so easily?" he said softly: "It's a pity, after all, it's fate. Is Xu Zang really dead? Will I ever see him again?"

Ning Yi didn't answer.

The white-haired young man shook his head, putting these distracting thoughts behind him, and said, "Ning Yi, before I 'Silence', I used to think about what would happen if the Immortal Law failed. ”

"If I fail, my travels will be nothing more than a puddle of ashes, and I will be destroyed, and my soul will return to the nine heavens. ”

"If you can't attain immortality in this life, then dying in the twilight of life is no different from being in chaos for a hundred years. ”

He smiled silently and said, "Maybe it's because of this mentality that I can succeed...... But I didn't think about what I would do if I succeeded. ”

He reclined on the stone platform, put on a quite comfortable and comfortable posture, the young man named "Zhou Jingyi", many habits in his bones are integrated into the blood, such as a little chirp when eating, always like to find a place to lean on...... The white-haired young man at this moment, even if he was really seen by the cultivators of the Dao Sect, would not believe that it was the Zixiao Palace Master who was high up and not close to the fireworks in the world.

"I'm traveling around, and I'm a Dao Sect who gambles on luck. ”

The young man spoke calmly and said, "In my last life, I was living for the Dao Sect, only seeking the Great Dao, but I forgot to pursue my own heart...... I don't know what kind of person I'm supposed to be. ”

Ning Yi asked softly, "What kind of person do you want to live?"

The white-haired boy shook his head, "I...... I don't know. ”

He looked at his palms again and muttered, "Perhaps, that's why I woke up again." I want to live again and find this answer. ”

Actually, he still resisted a little...... About the habits left by Zhou Jingzhen before his death.

But subconsciously, he did just that, without washing his hands, touching the dusty fruit and eating the food offered to the gods in the temple.

Even if that food is just a mortal fruit, it tastes very ordinary.

This is actually all in Zhou Jingzhen's mind

Thoughts, after he recovered from a serious illness, he wanted to run freely, wanted to embrace the outside air, and wanted to eat the fruit that was obviously very close to him, but he was never out of reach.

Want......

"I want to take Zhou Yushui and go outside for a walk. ”

Zhou You frowned, as if he was trying to follow the thoughts in his heart, but finally said such a sentence.

He looked at Ning Yi, "That young man is dead...... But he left me with many things, such as memories, such as habits, and ...... Affection. ”

The young man leaning at the feet of Emperor Zhenwu looked at the little girl on the bed, his voice was complicated, and said, "I don't know if these are good or bad...... But these are things that I have never experienced before. ”

In the Taoist Sect bathing and changing clothes, there are special linen robes to serve the Taoist.

The mortal fruit can't enter the main hall of Zixiao Palace at all.

Not to mention, where it comes into view, there is still dust, as a Taoist fetus that the Taoist sect does his best to worship, he has traveled all his life to be clothed and fed, and he has never had friends, relatives, even if it is Xu Zang, he is also a friend and an enemy.

No one has ever been truly good about traveling.

Travel...... He has never poured everything into anyone.

"The third method of longevity, after being reborn, I am no longer an 'innate Dao fetus'. He looked at Ning Yi, his voice was calm, and said, "This young man named 'Zhou Jingyi' has acceptable qualifications, but it has nothing to do with Dao Fetus......

Ning Yi was taken aback.

He thought of the lark again, quitting dust and "borrowing fire", and being able to grasp the powerful body of the Jizo Bodhisattva in a mundane manner, and turn around, in fact, it is the same.

Zhou Yu became a mortal body.

If you let Dao Sect know that Zhou You is just an ordinary person, will Sanqing Pavilion still treat him like before?

The white-haired boy said indifferently: "But what I have gained is more than what I have lost." The bottleneck of the Nirvana realm is gone, and I have a hunch that as long as I start practicing from the beginning, I will practice all the way to the top without encountering the slightest obstacle...... Until the last level. ”

Ning Yi took a deep breath and said, "Life and Death Dao Fruit?"

From the time he saw Mr. Zhou You again, Ning Yi was actually thinking about this question...... What exactly is the "Dao Fruit of Life and Death" mentioned by Master Xuyun, and what kind of conditions are needed to condense it? He is considered a person who has died once, so what about Xu Zang?

Resurrect in Tiandu City, and kill Taizong with a sword in a posture of total victory.

Is Xu Zang a person who condenses the "Dao Fruit of Life and Death"?

So...... What about Mr. Zhou You now?

"The Dao Fruit of Life and Death is too ethereal, and at that point, it is almost the same as immortality. ”

Zhou You said: "Although I have realized the third method of immortality, the big secret hidden between life and death...... Still a little far. I want to disappear from this world, digest the memories and emotions left by this body. ”

Ning Yi nodded quietly, still a little disappointed in his heart...... It is still far from the fruit of life and death, and it is still far from traveling.

He decided not to tell this senior about himself and the girl, and then make trouble.

The white-haired young man took a breath and said seriously: "Ning Yi, I want to see what kind of scenery the Great Sui World is......"

In the previous life, the body of the Taoist fetus could not see the depth of the rivers and lakes clearly.

In this life, it's different.

Not for the sake of seeking the truth.

Just for the sake of the heart.

Zhou You supported the stone platform with both hands, sat at the feet of Emperor Zhenwu, and gave his answer after thinking for a long time.

He said with a smile.

"If you are a mayfly, you will die in the twilight of life, and there will be no regrets. ”
