Such a plot made Zhao Ruolan at a loss, but when she saw the unconcealed excitement in the happy expression of the female Taoist chief after getting up, as if she had won the jackpot in the lottery, she knew that the female Taoist chief's actions just now were indeed from the heart.

It has been ten days since Zhao Ruolan went up the mountain, and these days, including the six old people who have just gone up the mountain, almost everyone has barely concealed it in front of her, so she has also seen all kinds of magical magic skills of these old immortals.

These days, Zhao Ruolan also has a general understanding of the identities of these old immortals, and the three people with the highest status are naturally the three old people who have lived here before she went up the mountain, Guanshanzi, Tianyangzi and the gossip monk Hu Lao Immortal.

And the female Taoist who is responsible for taking care of herself is called the old Taoist of Tianyangzi Shizu, which shows that the status of these three old people is extraordinary.

But even so, the female Taoist has never given such a big gift to her ancestor Tianyangzi, but Zhou Tianci can make the female Taoist be willing to treat her like this, which shows that her identity as a 'brother-in-law' can be seen.

Zhao Ruolan tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, so she couldn't sleep anyway, so she simply got up from the bed.

The wing room was divided into two rooms, the inner and the outer room, where she lived in the inner room and the female Taoist who took care of her lived in the outer room.

The lights were turned off in the bedroom, and in order to make it easier for her to live here, the wing room that originally had no curtains was also hung with simple thin cloth curtains.

Because the curtains are not thick, the light from the campfire in the small courtyard can still be reflected through the curtains into the dimly lit room.

With the faint light, Zhao Ruoxue put on her shoes and walked to the door that connected with the outhouse, and fumbled for the light switch cable, and with a slight pull, the dim room lit up.

This room is made of earth dragons, so it is extremely warm on this cold winter night.

Zhao Ruoxue got used to the poor vision from dim to bright for a while, and then found the newly sent long down jacket and put it on her body, pushed open the door of the outer room and walked out.

The earth dragon in the house is a little too hot today, and Zhao Ruolan wants to go outside to breathe, because the inner room does not have a separate door to the outside, and if you want to get out, you have to go out from the outer room.

Try to open the door as gently as possible so as not to disturb the rest of the female Taoist, but when Zhao Ruolan really pushed the door open, she found that although the lights were still on in the outer room, the female Taoist was not in the house.

looked in the direction of the door through the light, but saw the familiar back of the female Taoist chief standing against the door and standing outside the door of the wing room, so Zhao Ruolan didn't need to tiptoe, and walked towards the door with thick-soled cotton slippers.

The female Taoist priest was concentrating on studying the Yuan Qi Gong method given to her by Zhou Tian, so that she didn't notice that Zhao Ruoxue had come behind her, and when she heard the movement, she saw that Mr. Zhou's relative had already pushed open the door of the wing room and walked out.

"Ms. Zhao, you ......."

Without waiting for the female Taoist chief to finish speaking, Zhao Ruolan made a silent gesture to her, and then pointed to the people meditating in the small courtyard, reminding her not to disturb the cultivation of the old immortals.

"I can't sleep a little, just come out to breathe, you don't care about me, I'll walk by myself."

Zhao Ruolan said softly.

The female Taoist priest nodded slightly and stopped talking, but her eyes kept following Zhao Ruolan's footsteps, for fear that she wouldn't pay attention to bumping into something.

……

Zhou Tianci walked to the door of the small courtyard, regardless of the many old monks who were meditating and cultivating, his eyes only looked at the moonlit and starry sky, as if he wanted to find the difference between the magical night sky of another world and the night sky of the earth.

It wasn't until Zhao Ruolan's footsteps gradually approached him that Zhou Tianci slowly withdrew his gaze and turned his head to Zhao Ruolan and said, "Can't you sleep?" Did they quarrel with you? ”

Zhao Ruolan is the first time since the accident that she has been so close to Zhou Tianci, and her recent bizarre experience has made her know that this man who used to be her 'brother-in-law' is not very human, but a very mysterious and respected existence.

……

Zhao Ruolan paused slightly, she hadn't figured out how to face this magical 'brother-in-law', and she didn't even know why she walked towards him inexplicably.

"Can't sleep, and...... It has nothing to do with the old immortals, you ....... you ....... ”

Zhou Tianci turned his eyes, and then focused his gaze on the endless night sky, and said in a faint voice: "Your old injuries can be completely recovered in five days at most, have you thought about what to do in the future?" ”

Zhao Ruolan was silent for a long time before saying, "It's me who I'm sorry for the third sister and your ......." ”

"Needless to say, the past can't be changed, and the spirit of the ninth sister in the sky doesn't want to see you living in self-blame, let's think about the way forward, just think about the way forward, just live for the ninth sister, treat yourself well and don't let her rest in peace."

Zhou Tianci's tone was quiet and he couldn't hear his emotions.

Zhao Ruolan's eyes couldn't help but moisten when she thought of her old mother and little sister, and her voice was a little choked and whispered: "I... I... How do I atone for my sins...... If I hadn't brushed up that night, they wouldn't have ....... ”

"You are not guilty, you don't have to feel guilty, there is a lot of uncertainty in fate, no one wants such a tragedy to happen, the dead are gone, the living have to continue, this is not a person's problem, so you can put down your burden and start a new trajectory of life."

Zhou Tianci's tone of no sorrow or joy did not have any emotional components, mixed with it.

Zhao Ruolan knew that this man didn't care about the past as he said, otherwise he wouldn't have said it so calmly, but so what? As Zhou Tianci said, things have happened, time cannot be turned back, everything is irreversible, and she can only passively bear these consequences, it is better to forget the past and start again.

But how easy is that? Relatives died because of her willfulness, the old mother, the little sister, the husband, and the young son who was not yet a year old, they all lost their lives, how can such a tragic price be easily put down?

Zhou Tianci turned his head again to look at the silent Zhao Ruolan and said, "After you are all well in a few days, go to me to help first, it's always good to contact more people." ”

There was no need for her to answer, Zhou Tianci had already made a decision for her.

"You've always known that, right?"

Zhao Ruolan asked endlessly.

However, Zhou Tianci knew what she so-called knowing, and sighed lightly and said, "During this period of time, I think you have also seen all kinds of abnormal people like us, you should also notice that my identity is a little special, right?" ”

Zhou Tianci's gaze seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts, and he continued without waiting for Zhao Ruolan to speak: "Compared with these predecessors, some of my small skills may be more proficient, including some secrets of the soul of the gods, whether a person has mental problems, it is not difficult for me to judge, after all, the soul is not biased." ”

Zhao Ruolan lowered her head silently, and said with a mouth as thin as a gnat: "Thank you." ”

"No, everyone has their own choices and should be respected."

Zhao Ruolan raised her head and glanced at Zhou Tianci deeply and said, "I will do what you say, and I will live well." ”

"Yes, that's good."

As he spoke, Zhou Tianci took out a delicate crystal bottle from his pocket and handed it to Zhao Ruolan, and said softly: "This is the last trace of the little ingots in this world, keep it, just take it as a thought." ”

This crystal bottle is far less delicate than Zhao Jiumei's soul bottle that has been hanging around his neck, there is only a simple isolation vitality array on it to maintain the soul fragments inside from dissipating, this is still a collection vessel made when he inadvertently found that the soul fragments of the small ingots have not dissipated when he was handling the corpse.

Maybe it's the purity of the child's soul, or maybe it's some other unknown reason, since the soul fragments of the small ingots were collected with this vial, these pure soul fragments not only showed no signs of dispersion, but became more and more condensed and refined, although Zhou Tianci was curious about this, but he didn't think about the idea of doing research with this child's soul, since Zhao Ruolan now has the intention of starting over, then it is logical to return the last of her child's survival to this poor woman.

At this moment, Zhao Ruolan stood still as if she had been hit by five thunderbolts, and mechanically reached out to take over the small and transparent crystal bottle that was so delicate that it was incomparably exquisite, her hands trembled more and more, but the bottle was tightly held between her palms, so that her trembling white fingers were bruised.

"It's... This....is ...... Small........ ”

Zhou Tianci nodded slightly and said, "The soul fragment of the little ingots is also the only evidence that he has ever been here in this world. ”

The existence of the soul has always been one of the most controversial topics in human beings, and there have been various legends and myths for thousands of years, but no one has ever been able to prove its existence to this day.

But Zhao Ruolan knew that she, her 'brother-in-law', would never lie to herself on this issue, because there was no need at all.

"Is this true? Could it be ..... that there really is a soul after death? Is it really possible to have this life and the next? ”

The more Zhao Ruolan spoke, the more excited she became, and she was looking forward to Zhou Tianci giving her a positive answer.

It's a pity that Zhou Tianci's answer is destined to disappoint her.

"I don't know if reincarnation exists, but I don't think it exists."

"How is it possible, how can it be ......."

Zhao Ruolan muttered a little dejectedly.

Zhou Tianci said helplessly: "The soul is a special existence, although it can be temporarily separated from the body for a short period of time under extremely special circumstances, but even the soul of a cultivator like me will slowly dissipate between this heaven and earth, coming from nothingness, returning to nothingness, and completely disappearing without a trace." ”

After a pause, turning his gaze to the vast night sky, Zhou Tianci continued with emotion: "Reincarnation is just a good wish of the world, a kind of sustenance for the unknown and unpredictable rebirth after death, but although the wish is beautiful, it is only a wish after all.

If there really is eternal life in the world, then what will the world use to nurture new life?

Whether it is people or plants and trees, they all have the need to survive, and death and rebirth are part of the operation of this world, and the lack of any of them will cause unbearable damage to the world, so in my opinion, reincarnation should not exist, and it does not need to exist. ”

Zhao Ruolan clutched the crystal vial in her hand tightly, as if as long as she was a little relaxed, this treasure that contained her flesh and soul would quietly fly away.

Zhou Tianci's words made her feel extremely desperate, not because of the death of the little ingot, nor because of the old mother and little sister, but because of the despair of life itself.

Since we are born to face death, why does God want to make ourselves human, and let ourselves know how to think, and understand the emotions of attachment and reluctance.

……

Zhou Tianci rushed back to the city early in the morning, and instead of going home, he drove the car directly to the company.

Before the car was parked, I saw Zhao Ruoxue, who heard the sound at the door of the company, come out to greet him.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, Zhou Tianci kissed Zhao Ruoxue's forehead lightly, in exchange for a white eye that the beautiful young woman was actually happy but pretended to be coquettish.

"Is Ruolan okay?"

Zhou Tianci patted her on the buttocks, and then said, "It's good, I'll be almost recovered in two days, I'll take you back and take you to pick her up." ”

Zhao Ruoxue stopped talking for a while, but didn't answer.

Zhou Tianci knew what she was thinking and said: "I told her okay, when she goes down the mountain, let her come to work with you, wait for a long time, contact more people, it will help her to untie the knot, time is the medicine that heals everything." ”

"Yes!"

"Alright, don't stay here, it's cold, let's go in and talk."
