Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Final Step.

"Old man, she's dead..."

Chen Tiansheng looked at the corpse in his arms that was gradually getting colder with a little dazed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

There was a slight disbelief in his eyes, but more of it was the pain in his chest, the tearing sensation.

Obviously, a moment ago, she was still talking to herself, and that was once a person like him.

However, all this is so unreal.

Is life really so fragile?

"Old man, she's dead!"

Even if she died, it never seemed to be a thing worthy of his attention to the old man beside her.

At this moment, he was smoking the bag of dry tobacco in his hand, swallowing clouds and spitting mist, and sometimes his eyes were looking at the sky.

There, there were two shapeless white clouds, and he didn't seem to have heard of Chen Tiansheng's words.

Regarding his performance, Chen Tiansheng was more angry in his heart, almost out of control anger.

"Old immortal, are you deaf?"

Chen Tiansheng roared at him.

The old man smoked slowly, and the white smoke like mist came out of his mouth.

After spitting out the last puff of cigarette, he seemed to be satisfied with putting away the tools in his hand, but his eyes were still looking at the two white clouds in the sky.

Seeing his attitude, Chen Tiansheng became even angrier in his heart.

"Old man, isn't her life worth the two white clouds in the sky?"

"I said, she's dead!"

In the end, Xu was annoyed by him, and the old man answered him, but his voice seemed very indifferent.

"I know. ”

He was more like cherishing words like gold, just squeezing those three words out between his teeth.

"So what, that's it?"

Chen Tiansheng looked at the old man with such an indifferent look on his face in disbelief.

That's the person who has lived with them for so long, but he has this look on his face, is he a cold-blooded animal?

The old man looked at Chen Tiansheng, who seemed to be about to go crazy, and suddenly, he raised his hand, and the thin palm slapped directly on the back of Chen Tiansheng's head.

For a moment, Chen Tiansheng only felt that he was directly hit by a mountain.

Caught off guard, his body was directly blasted into the ground.

Chen Tiansheng's body trembled suddenly, half of his face sank into the dirt, and only one eye was exposed on the ground, but there was a thick hatred in his black eyes, staring angrily at the old man's withered yellow face like a zombie.

The old man's gaze withdrew from the two white clouds in the sky, glanced at Chen Tiansheng, who had half of his head sunk into the dirt, and said indifferently.

"I don't have any strength, I can't hurt you, you don't have to look at me like this. ”

"That little girl dies when she dies, she is a person, she will die sooner or later, me too, you too, anyone in this world is. ”

After a spring rain, the ground was very wet, and the soil was soft and smelled like a spring.

Chen Tiansheng pulled out half of his body from the wet soil, but the resentment on his face still did not disappear, he just stared at the old man in front of him fiercely, as if he had to stare him alive to eliminate the hatred in his heart.

"Boy, are you afraid of death?"

The old man looked at Chen Tiansheng and suddenly asked, his eyes were full of mud and dirt, and he couldn't see the slightest brightness and touch, like an old man who was already dying, and he could leave at any time.

"Old immortal, aren't you afraid of death? ”

"Boy, in your words, what is life and what is death...?"

Chen Tiansheng's eyes flickered, and the tirade that had already been prepared to satirize the old man in his heart was held back by him.

He couldn't figure out how the old man would ask this question, and he never thought about how he would answer it.

He just, too, had doubts in his heart.

"Yes, what is life, what is death...?"

When the fetus comes out of the womb, it is birth,

The end of life, the end of life, is death.

But is life and death really so simple?

There was a hint of confusion in his eyes, if this is the case, then, what is he now?

He is here, he is here and now, is he alive or dead?

"To be born is to die, and to die is to live. ”

"No life is no death, and no death is no life. ”

"The extinction of the foreknowledge, the continuation of the afterknowledge, the cycle of life and death, death and death, the cycle does not stop, it is life and self-destruction, it is death that destroys itself, everything is impermanent, life is not born, death is not death..."

"All things in this world, if you look at them with both eyes, you will only see all the blinded scenes, my son, learn to use the eye of the heart as the furnace, the eye of heaven as the fire, and the eye of the Tao as the medicine, to see the life and death of this world, and you will be able to see what you see, and you will know what you know..."

A rare glimmer of brightness flashed in the old man's cloudy eyes, which was like a sharp sword in the dark night, breaking through the layers of dirt and falling into Chen Tiansheng's eyes.

He raised his big withered yellow hand covered with oil stains, as if a piece of wood with five fingers had fallen in front of Chen Tiansheng's eyes, and the long two fingers of the middle finger stretched out, and then gently landed on Chen Tiansheng's chest.

Boom...!

It was like a bell ringing in his head.

Chen Tiansheng's closed eyes slowly opened, and the essence that seemed to be clear and clear flashed in the depths of his eyes.

He looked at the blue in the sky, took a deep breath, looked down, and looked around again.

At this moment, he was on the first level of the trial steps, and in front of him was the one hundred and eighty steps, and at this moment his right foot was on the first step, and his left foot was still on the ground.

There has never been a trial of a hundred paces away, there has never been the existence of that balance point, there has never been that terrifying coercion, everything as if it had never happened.

Only, is that really the case?

He closed his eyes again, feeling the changes in his body.

Before coming here, his strength was only at the early stage of the sixth layer of the Spirit Realm, but at this moment, he had already reached the middle stage, and he clearly remembered that this was the cultivation that had been improved in the trial at that hundred paces distance.

And also... His spiritual powers.

He spread out the palm of his right hand, and the spiritual power appeared on his palm with the movement of his mind, and it was also burning silently like a black firework, but the color was so black that it was shiny, like a thick cloud of black ink, exuding a metallic substance.

This is... A qualitative change in spiritual power.

"Ten percent of the qualitative change of spiritual power. ”

A gleam flashed in Chen Tiansheng's eyes, but then there was a hint of doubt.

"It turns out that the distance of 100 steps is not an illusionary existence, but the balance point of the third place..."

"Could it be that the last five-step trial is the balance point of the third place... , and not the position of the ninety-ninth step that I feel...?"

He recalled in his mind the scenes that had happened before, and secretly analyzed them.

"And..."

Chen Tiansheng remembered the old man, and he had fallen into the fragment of the memory he had fallen into at the moment of imminent defeat.

He did feel that he had failed at that third equilibrium point in that moment.

But what puzzled him, even weird, was the memory he had with the old man.

Because in his mind, among countless memories, there has never been a single one like that, not even anything like it.

He never remembered that he had that kind of conversation, that kind of experience, with the old man.

And also... Who was the girl who died in his arms...?
