Chapter 51: The Meaning of Living

Ah You saw Nalan Youzhu struggling in pain on the ground, gently rubbing his mother, and let out a crisp and immature cry.

And this Netherworld One-Horned Horse King, after hearing this, first glanced at the old woman, and then looked at Nalan Youzhu. After a while, it stomped its feet gently, the old woman's confinement disappeared, and Nalan Youzhu's pain disappeared instantly, as if nothing had happened.

The old woman picked up Nalan Youzhu, and then hugged her fists and said, "Thank you seniors for raising your noble hand." "It's not too old to become a predecessor in the world, but also a strong one, and besides, the age of this Netherworld One-Horned Pony King is probably above Nalan Jing.

Nalan Youzhu also clenched his fists and said: "We are at fault first, we shouldn't have taken Ah You away, please forgive me." ”

The Netherworld One-Horned Pony King let out a low roar, as if he was communicating something with Ah Yu. After a while, Ah You swayed and ran to Nalan Youzhu and rubbed the girl's face.

The Netherworld One-Horned Pony King's form shrank, and a golden mist swirled around her, and in the blink of an eye, she turned into a woman in a pale golden gown with long hair coiled behind her head with a pure white hosta. The woman's forehead had a white spiral stripe that shone faintly.

She saw that her child was so affectionate to Nalan Youzhu, and her eyes were full of tenderness when she looked at the girl, and she said, "Actually, her real name is Ah You." ”

Nalan Youzhu's eyes widened, and then he happily circled around Ayou, and kept shouting in his mouth: Ayou Ayou.

The woman looked at the two cheerful children and said, "Ah Yu wants to go with you." But I have two requests, if you can't do it, I'll take Ah You away. ”

Nalan Jing said: "Senior, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

"First, you must absolutely guarantee Ah You's safety. Second, you can't let Ah You sign a contract with anyone and become a contract demon. ”

Nalan Youzhu stopped, hugged his fists and said, "Don't worry, we can do it!" The old woman also nodded.

The woman looked at the old woman and the girl, and the white spiral stripes on her forehead glowed softly.

Nalan Youzhu felt as if there was a spring breeze blowing in his sea of consciousness, and a cool and comfortable feeling traveled all over his body. Then she felt as if her memories had been picked up, and countless images flashed through her mind.

Nalan Youzhu was curious about all this, because the number of Nether Unicorn foals was scarce, so the records of human sorcerers only had a rough idea of it, and she looked at Ah You standing next to her, her eyes full of yearning and expectation.

The woman transformed by the Nether Unicorn King withdrew her soul mist, and she looked at the girl and nodded.

Then Nalan Jing pulled Nalan Youzhu, followed by a human-height Netherworld unicorn horse, and left in the wind. During this period, Ah You looked back at his mother from time to time, and his smart eyes were full of reluctance. The woman stood in place and waved her hand to Nalan Youzhu, who was waving back, with a smile on her face.

She read the whole memory of Nalan Youzhu, those warm, tortuous, naughty, cute, and kind pictures are like the refreshing fragrance of flowers in spring, which makes people can't help but smell a few more sips.

After standing in place for a long time, the woman gradually turned into a beast, and her eyes were filled with indifference again. She looked up at the sun that had risen overhead, her eyes narrowed slightly, and her voice was cold: "This world is really chaotic. ”

Since the battle between Lu Banchuan, the Marquis of Jizo, and Xiao Beidou in the Ten Thousand Demon Forest, the news of the soul jade bead has somehow become known to everyone. The Marquis of Jizo did not compromise in the face of such interests and did not blame the reckless behavior of Xiao Beidou, the sword cultivator of the hidden world, so the Marquis of Jizo in the mouth of the world has changed from hiding the sword in his smile before and having no scruples in front of interests to a person who focuses on the overall situation and does not care about small things.

However, there are also some people who think that it is just Lu Banchuan's one-sided rhetoric, his nature is difficult to change, how can he give up such a jade bead in this prosperous world, I am afraid that he has already colluded with the demon world and concealed the transmission formation with great magical powers. So he began to criticize Lu Banchuankou, wanting the sword prince to open the human hall deliberations and send the human hall sorcerers to investigate.

For a time, there was no difference in the limelight, and there were countless people who came to the ground to experience or wanted to see the battle site of the Marquis of Jizo and Xiao Beidou. After all, Xiao Beidou was rumored to be a sword cultivator who rose proudly on the battlefield hundreds of years ago, and with the cultivation of the Six Spirits Realm, he could compete with the powerhouses of the Seven Spirits Realm.

Everyone in the world has a lot of discussions about the land, but the princes and high-level officials in various fields seem to have heard of it at all, even if it is related to the safety of the world, there has been no movement so far.

Until noon today, led by Han Shuixi, the prince of the sword, he convened the princes and the three divisions of various fields to conduct a discussion in the human hall.

In the process of deliberations, Chen Fengqing and Liu Yunxing told all about Yuzhu, and everyone began to accuse the two, and then discussed where Yuzhu was at the moment and where it belonged. The deliberations lasted for several hours, and at last only one sentence spreadβ€”

The jade bead soul mist is rich and majestic, and even the Seven Spirit Realm can go further. However, the location of the jade bead is unknown, and it is very likely to be taken away by the strong people of the water genus. There is no belonging to the jade bead, and everyone in the world finds it by fate.

For a while, the world exploded, and this is a treasure that can directly improve the cultivation realm, and there is no side effect at all. In this prosperous era, if you want to climb the mountain in a hundred years, you need to be one step ahead of others and climb that mountain first. The Seven Spirit Realms can all go further, so for many ordinary sorcerers, wouldn't it be like ascending to the sky, jumping straight to two realms or even three realms?

As a result, the world set off a wave of searching for jade beads, and various fields have lifted the border ban, so there are countless other fields of sorcerers in each field, among which the most sorcerers are the water palace located on the ethereal sea in the west of the world.

For the first time in hundreds of years, the world has been so lively, and the contact between various fields has never been before, and the flow of practitioners is like a torrent in the rainy season, rushing from here to there. As a result, the world has entered a new stage, a new era.

Liu Shanlin and Lu Moqing walked slowly in the Ten Thousand Demon Forest, they had already entered the depths of the Ten Thousand Demon Forest, and they could reach the border of the Demon Column three hundred miles further east.

Now the two of them are careful in every step, because the cultivators and monsters they meet here are generally above them. But in the depths of the Ten Thousand Demon Forest, the number of sorcerers and demons has gradually decreased, so when I got here, Liu Shanlin had not seen a single sorcerer and demon.

The two of them could only restrain their breath, and they didn't dare to spread out their thoughts at all, because when they found out about the movement, they were sure that they had already been stared at and didn't know it.

There was silence all around, except for the occasional birdsong echoing and hovering through the mountains and forests. The further in, the taller the trees became, and Liu Shanlin felt that those trees that were a few people thick must have survived for thousands of years.

It was noon, the sun was shining brightly and warmly, and the sun was shining on the ground through the branches and leaves. The coiled roots of countless giant trees were exposed to the air, and all kinds of exotic flowers and plants were everywhere. Countless large and small vines grew between the branches of the trees, hanging down, like beautiful green silk.

Liu Shanlin and Lu Moqing jumped between the branches, their steps were light, and they didn't make any sound. At the slightest movement, they stopped and took a detour. In the depths of this Ten Thousand Demon Forest, they couldn't help but not be so careful.

Just after Liu Shanlin and the others crossed a high mountain, they stood on the edge of a cliff, and their eyes suddenly opened up.

I saw a large plain at the bottom of the cliff. The plains are verdant, and the wind blows the grass, like the waves of the green sea. At the end of the plain is a peach forest, which has bloomed all over the place at this time, and the willow mountain forest here smells the fragrance of flowers.

Liu Shanlin put one hand on his knees, sat on the edge of the cliff, and blew the wind leisurely. Lu Moqing also came over and sat next to Liu Shanlin.

Liu Shanlin took some dried sweet potatoes and small dried fish from the hosta and threw them to Lu Moqing, which Liu Shanlin bought when he was in the border village between the fields and has been stored until now.

Liu Shanlin chewed a bite of dried fish and asked, "Do you have anything you particularly want to do?" ”

Lu Moqing replied: "I didn't have it before, but now I have." ”

"What is it?"

"Become stronger, I hope that in a hundred years, I can also compete for the opportunity to enter Cloud City to cultivate immortality."

Liu Shanlin dragged out his voice and said, "That's-"

Lu Moqing asked, "What about you?" ”

Liu Shanlin threw all the dried fish and sweet potatoes into his mouth and chewed them and said: "Immortality is more attractive to practitioners with higher cultivation realms. On the contrary, immortality has little meaning for those who live in the mundane world and struggle in misery. ”

Liu Shanlin looked at the large peach forest in the distance and continued: "I sometimes yearn for that kind of peaceful life, but living in a prosperous world, it seems that there is always something that is forced to happen. Many times I don't know if I'm being pushed by the world, or if there's something hidden in my heart that, when I look back, tells me that I should pursue something while I'm alive. ”

Lu Moqing's eyes were bright and said, "Isn't the meaning of human life here?" ”

Liu Shanlin said softly: "The meaning of life." ”

Lu Moqing snorted.

Liu Shanlin didn't speak, just sat quietly.

The meaning of life seems to have become blurred when Liu Shanlin's parents fell into the valley, and now he has grown up and spent more than 130 years. Standing on the top of the mountain, he saw the shape of existence in the sea of clouds, and then fell back to the bottom of the valley, and the outline of existence was hidden in the mist.

At this moment, Liu Shanlin can touch its hard or soft edges, but he is always wandering around, hesitating and wavering.

Maybe in the years to come, I will be able to make a firm choice.

Liu Shanlin stood up, jumped off the cliff with open hands.

Lu Moqing's eyes widened, how can he say that this cliff is also dozens of meters high, and the willow mountain forest, which has not reached the Five Spirits Realm, will not be able to resist the wind and jump down like this?

Then he immediately fell to the edge of the cliff and looked down.

I saw that a few vines grew around his body on the way down the willow forest, and then threw him to the vines below, and he quickly reached the ground.

Liu Shanlin's voice came from the ground: "You also jump." ”

Lu Moqing jumped when he heard this.
