Chapter 64: Burning Ants

"You and I separate, you go first. Xiao asked, and then let go of the arm that was holding Nalan Cicada's clothes, Xiao asked, standing on the head of the dark dragon, and fell down.

Nalan Chanyi spread out her transparent wings and slashed at the little insect with the sword in her hand. A sword slashed up, saw the appearance of the insect clearly, and also flew down.

"It was the burning ant in ancient times, and those who touched it died. Nalan Chanyi shouted at Xiao and plunged into the lake again.

Xiao Wendao also plunged into it, looking up at the burning ant, not entering the water. But they flew towards Helan Hanqing's group on the shore.

Seeing that the burning ant was about to run towards the crowd, Xiao asked in a hurry, and when he thought of it, there were immortals flying out of the sky.

Ninety-nine eighty-one, with the sword qi of the fire as the sword, fought against the burning ants.

"Into the lake. Xiao asked, and hurriedly shouted to the shore at the moment when he blocked the burning ants.

Nalan Hanqing and the others came back to their senses, and they also saw the tiny burning ants, and in an instant, they all entered the lake.

Fortunately, this lake is not small, and everyone swims in the lake for a while. Finally, I shook off the burning ant.

"You'd better leave the lake and go in the opposite direction. Xiao asked, glancing at the three nameless peaks in the distance again.

And the little fox Kongkong also looked at the three peaks, and he was also fascinated by it.

"Do you still want to go up these three peaks? Nalan Chanyi looked at Xiao and asked, and also glanced at the peak that towered into the clouds.

"This time, I'm going to rush to the top of the mountain in one go to see if there's something really big about it. Xiao asked, his eyes full of determination.

"That burning ant is a legendary spirit insect in ancient times. According to the records of the "Origin Dao Sutra", the cultivation of this burning ant is not different from the cultivation of the cultivator of the infant realm of the human race. The burning ant can swallow the fire of heaven and earth, and a grain of fire can destroy a city. Asked, it's better to be cautious. Even if you are a heretic who can cultivate the Fire of the Five Elements, your cultivation is still a long way off. Helan Baitu said about the horror of burning ants, and also wanted to persuade Xiao to ask.

"But there are still four days, and I am going to leave this Tongxuan Immortal Mansion, and I asked, you really don't have to take this risk. Even within the three clans, there will be no more than five people who can compete with this burning ant. The danger of burning ants can be worth 100,000 male soldiers. Bai Jingqu said, also persuading Xiao to ask.

"Even if this burning ant has the cultivation of a baby, it will not have the wisdom of its human race. Even if you can't fight, there will definitely be no problem with maneuvering. Xiao asked, saying what was in his mind, and glanced at the emptiness.

The empty sky still looked at the three nameless peaks, like the shadows of the three peaks reflected in the eyes of the red agate.

"Even if it's not for me, not for Grandpa Yi's entrustment, even if it's for it, this mountain still has to be climbed. Xiao asked, and everyone's eyes were also focused on the empty body.

Taking a step, Xiao asked, placing the empty space on his back.

Sit down and walk the talk. This is Xiao Wendao's style of acting, not dragging mud and water, nor struggling in his heart.

Stepping on the top of the Dark Dragon's head, he once again stood halfway up the mountain, and he didn't stop taking a step.

"Wait for me. ”

Xiao asked, you don't need to look back, you know. Nalan Cicada Yi still followed.

"Since you insist on going your own way, let me accompany you. Nalan Chanyi said, still walking a few steps faster than Xiao asked.

Ignore the wind and snow along the way, and ignore the more unknown corpses that go up.

When they stepped on the peak, Xiao Wendao and Nalan Chanyi didn't expect that there were living people on the top of this mountain.

A green pine, an old man.

The green pine grew out of the mountain.

The old man's body was not stained with a trace of wind and snow, and he was wearing this white robe, the left chest of the robe was embroidered with a sword pattern, and his head was full of silver hair, draped behind him.

A wooden sword lay beside the old man, who opened his eyes and looked at Xiao Wendao and Nalan Chanyi.

"Buzz", a shrill sound, rose behind Xiao Wendao again.

Nalan Chanyi couldn't help but ask next to Xiao, Xiao Wendao felt Nalan Chanyi's palpitations, and patted Nalan Chanyi's back with his right hand.

was originally a stiff body, and Nalan Cicada Yi also relaxed.

Xiao asked and glanced back, the burning ant was not one, but a swarm. There are more than a dozen of them, Xiao Wendao turned his head and stared at the old man again, Xiao Wendao knew that the burning ant did not attack the two of them, I am afraid that it was ordered by the old man.

A burning ant is the cultivation of Liying, and this group of burning ants, even with all the masters of the three clans, can compete.

And what about this old man. Could it be that his cultivation is already a saint, or is he not a person from this realm, and he is the same immortal as Li Dufan.

"Seniors. Xiao asked, bowing his hand, and opened his mouth first.

Be quiet. The wind is silent, the snow is silent, the green pines are silent, and the old man is silent.

The only sound left was the slight breathing of Xiao Dao and Nalan Cicada.

Empty lying on Xiao Wendao's shoulder, quiet like a sleeping baby, but his eyes were also staring at the old man.

Xiao asked and took a step forward, the snow under his feet "creaked", which was the loudest sound on the top of the mountain.

"You are a guest, please be seated. An ethereal voice appeared in Xiao Qian's ear.

But the old man's mouth was not open, and the voice did not look like an old man's voice.

At this time, Xiao Wendao strode forward and sat in front of the old man, who still had his eyes open, looked at Xiao and asked. Xiao asked and looked into the old man's eyes, the old man's eyes were transparent.

Through the eyes of the old man, he could see a chaotic world.

Xiao asked, knowing that this was an illusion, he fixed his mind and stopped looking into the old man's eyes.

A breeze hit his face, and Xiao Wendao's face was as cool as a knife on his face.

The breeze was like a blade, cold and piercing.

The old man's clothes fell with the wind.

"Ahh

Xiao asked, looking at the "body" exposed under the old man's shirt, although he didn't exclaim, he was still surprised in his heart.

Heart, only one heart.

That heart doesn't shake either, and it doesn't beat. The old man's clothes were stripped and there was no body, only a heart, under the skull. That heart, which looks transparent, looks like a person is sitting on it.

"You're the third person who came up. ”

Xiao asked, when he heard this, he understood that the voice was coming from that heart.

"What about the first two. ”

"Dead. ”

This answer is not surprising at all.

"You killed. ”

"It's not. ”

This answer is a bit strange.

"That's who killed it. ”

"It is the word of the heart. ”

In his heart, Xiao asked and chewed on these four words.

"Cultivation is the only heart. Do you only cultivate the way of the heart? ”

"Definitely. I'm cultivating the path of death. ”

"What is it, the way of death. ”

"With a dead heart, enter the Tao. ”

"Dead heart, how can you enter the Tao. ”

"I'm in. ”

Entering the Tao with a dead heart, Xiao asked It all sounded ridiculous. People live by their hearts. Dao, idealism dies.

"How long has it been. ”

"Nine thousand years. ”

Nine thousand years, with death as the way. This is also the most special Tao that Xiao Wendao has ever seen, and it is also the most absurd Tao.

"Who are you. ”

"I'm the North Underworld. ”

Beiming, Xiao asked Looking at this heart, he stretched out his right hand and said, "Can I touch you?" ”

"No, you can't. ”

"You're afraid. ”

"I'm afraid. ”

"Afraid of death?

"Afraid of death!"

Taking death as the way, seeking the way of immortality. Cultivators, who are not afraid of death.

"Afraid of death, have you ever died? ”

"No, I didn't. ”

"If you have never died, why be afraid. ”

Silence, the mountain on the top of the mountain is becoming quieter and quieter, and Xiao asked, covering up the sound of the wind and snow on the top of the mountain.

The green pine picked up a breeze again, and a leaf fell on the side of the heart. Almost, it fell on the heart.

"Knock"

The heart shook violently. It was as if that leaf was a peerless master who could kill him in one fell swoop.

"Why be afraid"

These two words sound like a sigh and a lovesickness.

"The most feared thing for mortals in the world is death. If you understand it thoroughly, you will die. I'm not afraid of death. ”

Another fallen leaf fell on the side of that heart.

"A leaf is only from spring to autumn, and I never know that there is winter. One leaf does not know the way of cultivation. Mortals, but why do they cultivate? ”

Man, with the head of the primate.

Mortals, but why do they cultivate?

Xiao asked Hearing this insight, his heart gradually sank.

When mortals cultivate the Tao, they seek the way of eternal life.

Live with heaven and earth.

And the Taoist ancestor said that heaven and earth cannot last long, and the situation is not human.

For mortals, the road to progress is always a dead end.

For the ascetic, one is divided into eternal life and nine into death.

Even this part of the road to eternal life is close to a tenth of death.

Since ancient times, no one has been able to cultivate the Tao and break the void. But no one wasted the way and gave up the way.

The Tao is the path of the cultivator, the only way to eternal life.

Even if there is no end in sight, the cultivator will move forward.

"The Tao is the only way of nature. The Tao is the only way to oneself. The Tao is only the way of one person. ”

"The way of one man. ”

The voice repeated these four words, the way of one man.

These four words seem to open the door of that person's heart. also opened the door of Xiao Wendao's heart, and after this epiphany, Xiao Wendao's back was covered with a layer of fine sweat.

"People, the way of cultivating chickens and dogs, are in vain. Human cultivation, the way of all things, is in vain for all things. People cultivate their own ways, win themselves, and defeat themselves. One thought is life, one thought is death. ”

For all things in heaven and earth, what is reluctant is life, and what cannot be asked is eternal life.

This sentence, listening to Xiao Wendao's ears, was stupid, stupid.

"The heavens are dead, the heavens are dead. This dead way can only be regarded as today, and it is thoroughly understood. ”

After saying this, Nalan Chanyi breathed a sigh of relief.

There was a buzzing sound, and the burning ant flew from behind Xiao Wendao and landed on the old man's head.

Xiao Wendao's heart couldn't help but rise, looking at the group of burning ants.

"What are you doing here? ”

Xiao asked, there was still a joy in his heart, and he finally ran to the topic.

"There was once a man named Mo Ye here. ”

"I don't remember. ”

"Then have you ever seen this purple gold seal? Xiao asked, taking out the pattern of the purple gold seal.

"It seems that you really have a relationship with him. ”

"With whom do you have a fate. ”

"You know where I am with an old man. ”

"Where. ”

"This is the mausoleum of my deceased man, and I am also his grave keeper. ”

"Grave keeper. ”

"The purple gold seal in your mouth is a tombstone for him. ”

This sentence shocked Xiao Wendao, and the purple gold seal that made the Demon Lord Nan Zhu and the Human Emperor Xia Yuanmo nervous was turned out to be a tombstone.

"Back then, someone came to look for that tombstone. ”

"You killed the man. ”

"As I said, those who have ever been to the top of this mountain have been killed by their own ways, and I have not done anything. ”

"Then don't you stop it? ”

"I burned away the love of the ages, and gave up a lifetime of uniqueness. How can you be reluctant to give up this stele. ”

Burn the eternal love, and give up a lifetime of uniqueness.

is unique, that is the number one person in the world.

"Then how do I find a tombstone? ”

"Lay down your life. ”

Xiao asked, listening to these two words, he was stupid.
