After listening to my request, the Emperor of Heaven fell silent, fell into a deep silence,

"Can't you? Resurrecting those innocent people is not a difficult task for you. I looked at the white-clothed middle-aged man in front of me, exuding a majesty that was not angry but majestic on his body, and the white dragon robe danced gently with the wind, as if nine dragons were flying around his body.

Under the close gaze of my family, finally, the Emperor of Heaven spoke: "No. ”

"Why not?" After hearing the Emperor's answer, I was a little surprised. With such a small request, he turned me down.

The Emperor of Heaven stared at my puzzled gaze tightly, and said in a righteous and awe-inspiring voice: "How can a person be resurrected after death? The existence of Liu Qingqian and Huairou is already against the order of heaven and earth, you really want me to help you resurrect all the dead people, so the entire six realms must not be messed up? ”

"But they are all innocent, and they don't deserve to die......"

The Emperor of Heaven directly interrupted me and said; "They're dead, and dead is dead!"

"So, so you're not going to do me a favor?" In the face of the Heavenly Emperor who is high above, I don't have any fear, just like Xu Xun who dared to confront the Heavenly Emperor in front of the immortals more than a thousand years ago.

The Heavenly Emperor sneered. said: "Xu Xun, those innocent people who died, the order of heaven and earth in the next life will naturally arrange a good birth for them, what you have to do now is not this, but how to destroy the dragon, otherwise, more people will die because of the dragon." ”

"Resurrect the innocent people who died in this life, and I will suppress the dragon back into the demon world." I stared at the Emperor of Heaven tightly, without any hint of backing down.

The Emperor of Heaven is not a character to be messed with, he looked at me coldly and said, "Ye Cheng, that tanuki told you something yesterday, so that you dare to go against the way of heaven." Raising the dead? ”

Chen Feng on the side saw the tension of the situation, and hurriedly helped the Emperor of Heaven to play haha and said; "Ye Cheng, don't listen to the civet cat's nonsense, the tanuki is a demon, since ancient times, the demon's words can't be believed." said. Chen Feng walked to my side, stretched out his hand and pulled my sleeve, and said, "Ye Cheng, you quickly apologize to the Emperor of Heaven, the Emperor of Heaven will naturally give a good reincarnation to those who died because of you!" ”

"At least the demons are not all wrong, and the words of the immortals are not all right, I am not superstitious about the way of heaven, I only believe in the way in my heart, the right way." I ignored Chen Feng's kindness, but looked directly into the Heavenly Emperor's gaze and said impassionedly.

The Emperor of Heaven was silent, and after being silent for a long time, he said: "Okay, okay, Ye Cheng, you just follow your righteous path, and I will show you something before that......" Saying that, the Emperor of Heaven waved his hand lightly, and more than a dozen dams appeared in front of us, and the water level in the dam was rapidly rising, and below the dam were tens of millions of ordinary people.

The Heavenly Emperor looked at me with a sneer and said, "Ye Cheng, do you see it, if you continue to follow your path and don't subdue the Jiaolong with me, the dam will burst, and tens of millions of innocent civilians will die in the flood." ”

This time I was silent.

"Ye Cheng, think about it yourself, whether to become an immortal and completely benefit the people, or to sacrifice more people for the sake of those thousands of people who have died. Even if it's gambling, you should have a number in mind about which side of the bet is most appropriate. After a pause, the Heavenly Emperor continued, "Your soul and body have begun to reject, right? Even if you temporarily stabilize your soul with the incense of tranquility, in another seven days, your soul will completely fly out of your body. If you don't make a decision in the past seven days, even if you want to become an immortal, I won't be able to help. ”

I was stunned for a moment, it turns out that even if you become a Heavenly Master, there is a time limit for becoming an immortal. I'm running out of time, seven days, and a decision has to be made. Decisions that cost tens of thousands of lives.

"If you think about it, come to me in the Heavenly Emperor Palace in the west of Poyang Lake, and I will be able to let you return to the immortal position at any time!" After speaking, the Heavenly Emperor turned his head to look at Chen Feng and said, "Let's go." ”

Before Chen Feng left, he looked at me tightly and said, "Ye Cheng." Don't make the wrong choice again. With that, he followed behind the Emperor of Heaven and disappeared into the forest.

After the Heavenly Emperor and Chen Feng left, those living dead emerged from various locations in the forest, and they looked at me with blank expressions one by one.

I sat down on the floor, not knowing what to do.

I don't know how long it has been. Liu Qingqian and Xu Promise came to me from the stilted building. Liu Qingqian helped me up and said worriedly: "Ye Cheng, you are not in good health, you can't get wet, let's go back first." ”

"Go back...... Where to go? ”

yes, seven days. Where can we go back?

"Medicinal incense shop ......" Liu Qingqian and Xu made this answer in unison.

I was stunned for a moment, surprised that Liu Qingqian and Xu promised to give the same answer. But if you think about it carefully, Liu Qingqian and Xu Yu both met me in the medicine fragrance shop, and in our hearts, the medicine fragrance shop is already our home.

When a person doesn't know where to go, they always think of one place, and that is home.

After a day, the three of us returned to the medicine shop.

It seems that it has not been a few months since I left the medicine shop, but in just a few months, too many things have happened, and too many people have left me.

Yu Tong, Huairou, Chen Jinghao, Wu Yan, Su Xin, each name has a story behind it.

It's night.

I sat quietly in front of the counter of the medicinal incense shop, Liu Qingqian and Xu Yu went to the room to rest, from Wanshou Palace to Poyang Lake to the medicinal incense shop, the distance between these three places is not close, and the two of them are tired from following me all the way.

The lantern outside the door swayed gently in the wind and rain, and even when the rain hit the lantern, the candle was never extinguished.

Suddenly, the wind was getting stronger, and I was sitting at the counter dressed in black, and I looked up at the door. I saw an old woman walk in from outside the store.

I looked up at the old woman, and although it was raining heavily, she was not wet at all.

Today, the medicine incense shop opened for business on the first day, and someone came.

What makes me even more strange is that this old woman who entered the medicine shop after twelve o'clock is not a ghost but a human. I looked curiously at the old woman who walked in and asked, "Grandma." What herbs are you going to buy? ”

"Regret medicine." The old woman said.

After hearing the old woman's words, I was stunned for a moment and said, "Grandma, our medicine shop has no regrets about selling medicine. ”

"No......" After hearing my words, a trace of frustration flashed on the old grandmother's face, and she sat down at the door of the medicine shop, not leaving.

"Grandma, you go somewhere else and ask, maybe other stores have such a thing as regret medicine." I don't dare let this old woman stay in my shop for a long time, if a ghost comes in from behind, I can't afford to frighten her.

The old woman looked up at me, then let out a long sigh. said: "Young man, don't lie to me, where in this world is there any regret medicine for sale." ”

This old grandmother is really interesting, obviously she herself is going to buy regret medicine, and now the countdown is falling on me. So I walked up to my grandmother, sat down on the floor with her, and asked, "Grandma, why are you buying regret medicine?" "I became curious about my grandmother's past.

"I used to live in the countryside and raise dogs and chickens at home." The old woman said.

I looked at the old woman with a smile and thought what she said was very interesting, so I said, "It's good." ”

"I have a son who lives in the city and asks me to come to the city every day to live with her...... the grandmother added.

"How good is it that my son has filial piety?" I said.

The old grandmother also chimed in: "Yes, it's good to be in the city, but I'm used to living in the countryside, and I'm afraid that there will be no place to move around after entering the city, so I don't want to go into the city." ”

"There are squares in the city, there are parks. I usually have nothing to do, I can go for a walk in the park and listen to music, and life is also very nourishing. I said.

The old woman looked up at me and said, "That's what my son said......

Hearing the grandmother's words, I always felt that the grandmother was deliberately taking advantage of me, but the grandmother's expression was serious, and I couldn't say anything about her. I had to say, "Then did you go to the city?" ”

"Are you a fool?" The old woman looked at me like a fool.

This made me unhappy, and I said, "Grandma, why are you so good-looking?" ”

The old woman said, "Isn't this the city?" You still ask me if I'm in town? ”

I was so by the old lady that I suddenly lost my temper, and I didn't want to talk to this old woman anymore, so I said, "Grandma." You'd better go back, I don't regret selling medicine here. ”

The old woman stood up and said, "Hey, you people in the city are like this, ruthless and indifferent, without any human touch......

Seeing the back of the old grandmother's vicissitudes, I regretted calling her again. He asked, "Grandma, are you having a bad time in the city?" ”

"I didn't want to come to the city in the first place, I told my son, if I go into the city, what will happen to our dogs and chickens, who will take care of it?" The old grandmother said.

I also think that this grandmother has some tendons, her son is so filial, why do you care about those chickens and dogs?

It was just the words of the old grandmother that silenced me.

The grandmother said, "My son told me that chickens and dogs can be brought to the city to raise ......"

I remember a story called "One man attained the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascended to heaven." "That's all I have to say, if I don't understand my grandmother's intentions, I'll live in vain all these years.

I withdrew the smile on my face, looked at the uninvited master seriously, brought a chair for the old lady to sit down, and secretly began to check what the old woman came from.

But the old lady didn't sit down, but counted me down, and said, "You people in the city are all so hypocritical, not sincere at all. To help someone do something, you must first find out the details of others. ”

I was taken aback, and quickly withdrew all my breath and did not dare to investigate the old woman's Dixi Road again, but asked, "Grandma, are you uncomfortable in the city?" ”

When the old grandmother heard my words, she cried and cried, which was really an old tear, and said: "My beast son is really not a good thing, he has no conscience at all, and the beast son asked me to bring the dog and the chicken to the city, but after I brought all the chickens and dogs, he ate all the chickens and dogs that I had worked so hard to raise, and he didn't even vomit the bones......

Admiration, immense admiration.

Because I knew that the old grandmother's words were telling the story of the chicken dog ascending to heaven, and he opened and closed his mouth to say that the beast son was obviously scolding the emperor.

Of course, I don't think this old woman in front of me will be the mother of the Emperor, I don't know who she is, but I know that she should be here to hint at me something.

At this point, the old woman continued: "There are parks and squares in the city, but when I entered the city, I was forced to help him with housework, laundry and cooking, and there was no time to go out. ”

"Then grandma, you can go back to the countryside." I say.

The old grandmother said, "Go back to the countryside? The houses in the countryside have been sold by my brute son, and if I go back, everything will have to start all over again, and I have been tormented by my brute son from time to time, where can I still toss this old bone? ”

Everything has to start all over again, and the conversation can end here.
