Chapter 99: Parting
Through the light gate, the three of them came to a primeval forest full of primeval forests, and animals and birds that they had never seen before, and there was a large river in the dense forest that meandered and undulated, and the qi of heaven and earth here was very rich, even stronger than the outside world.
Mu Sheng took the two of them to fly in the air and came to a high mountain, through the clouds and mist in the mountains, one after another continuous stone palaces appeared in front of him, but the architectural style of the palace did not match the present at all, and it was a product of ancient times.
Mu Sheng took the two of them to land on the square in the middle of the palace group, and explained to the two: "Old Chen, Sister Rong, this is the Tianque Divine Palace, one of the ancient treasure worlds, and it is the place where the Qingluan Emperor cultivated his soul back then. ”
Chen Tianji shook his head and said: "I understand your good intentions, I can't stay here, although I can communicate with the qi of heaven and earth here, and it will not degenerate into a spirit devouring beast, but the monk loses his physical body and wants to go to the next level with a spirit body, which is tantamount to an idiot's dream." ”
Mu Sheng said helplessly: "Then what should I do?" Lao Chen, do you still want to re-enter reincarnation? If you can cultivate in the next life, you don't know how many lifetimes you will be able to enter the Tao and practice again, Lao Chen, you should think about it again. ”
Chen Tianji shook his head and smiled bitterly, and sighed: "When I was sucked into this ancient treasure world, I knew that I had no chance to comprehend the way of heaven, and then you look at the image of my current spirit body, my beard and hair are all white, I was about to end my life back then, and I had no chance to go to the next level, and I didn't expect to fall into this ancient treasure world forever and not be able to live forever, I just want to leave this ghost place and reincarnate again, as for whether there is a chance to comprehend the way of heaven, that is a matter that God knows, I would rather be just a woodcutter in the next life than live here for eternity... …”
Mu Sheng turned his head to look at Li Rong and wanted her to persuade Lao Chen.
Li Rong stepped forward and said: "Husband, I am really happy to meet you here, sometimes I am also very conflicted in my heart, I hope that you will become a machine spirit to save us from the sea of suffering, and sometimes I don't want you to succeed, you and I will stay here for 10,000 years, even if you will never be able to live ......."
Mu Sheng heard that Li Rong's tone was wrong, he turned her body and looked into her eyes, and asked, "Are you going to leave too?" I can't bear to let you go......"
Li Rong stroked Mu Sheng's face and said with a smile: "Idiot, fate is scattered and gathered, it is impermanent, why do you need to be so persistent?" Lao Chen and I have been in this ghost place for 10,000 years, and we are already physically and mentally exhausted, not that I don't want to stay by your side, but I have a weak heart, and I would rather be a person for a day than a ghost for 10,000 years. ”
"If you stay in this purgatory for 10,000 years like us, you will understand me, if you are truly good for me, let it go! Maybe that's the end of our relationship, and as long as you can remember me, I'll be satisfied......"
Mu Sheng looked at the firm eyes of the two of them, and he didn't expect that the day of success would be the time to say goodbye to the two of them.
Mu Sheng was helpless and sighed: "Okay! Since the two of you have made up their minds, I can't force it. ”
Mu Sheng looked at Chen Tianji, and then at Li Rong, he was full of emotion in his heart for a while, he understood in his heart, and he also knew that what they said was from the bottom of his heart, and he couldn't force them to stay, although he could do it, but if he really did that, it would not only incur their resentment, but the affection between them that had been established with great difficulty would also disappear.
At this time, the joy in Mu Sheng's heart that he was about to get rid of the sea of suffering was also washed away a lot by this parting feeling.
Li Rong stepped forward and said, "Husband, without further ado, let's inform the people in the village of the good news, right?" ”
Mu Sheng was reluctant to look at Li Rong's delicate face, so he had to bow his head and say, "Okay!" Good! We're going to the village to inform everyone. ”
Back in the village, the three great powers gathered everyone together, and Chen Tianji sent Pei Chen to wake up the villagers who were dormant in the cave.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Mu Sheng publicly informed everyone of the good news.
After everyone heard the news, there was a strange silence, and then some monks couldn't believe it, seeing the three ancestors in the village nodding and confirming the news again and again, many people sat down on the ground and cried bitterly, some people cried more than once, some people laughed wildly, some people desperately attacked the stone wall with their bare hands, and some people ran around the square like crazy, and the whole village was like a madhouse at this moment......
Mu Sheng saw everyone's performance, and he also understood why Li Rong and Chen Tianji didn't want to enter reincarnation and didn't want to live here for even a day.
For a while, he had some tears in his eyes, and when everyone in the village had vented enough, Mu Sheng waved his hand and conjured up a bunch of letters of willingness that floated into the hands of everyone in the village, and instructed:
"Everyone, be quiet, please take a closer look at the letter of will in your hand......"
Now when everyone sees Mu Sheng, it is really like looking at the savior, there is gratitude in their eyes, and there is disbelief, and Mu Sheng is a little embarrassed.
"This is a letter of will, among you who are willing to stay, just stay in the Tianque Divine Palace to live, where to communicate the qi of heaven and earth, don't worry about becoming a spirit devouring beast, if you don't want to, continue to reincarnate, I won't stop you, you think about it."
After a stick of incense, Mu Sheng received a letter of willingness from everyone in the village, not surprisingly, only ten people were willing to stay temporarily, and the vast majority of the rest basically had to leave, and the people who stayed were also trapped here for a short time, and it was difficult to let go of their personal feelings.
Mu Sheng casually flipped through the petition, determined the timetable for leaving according to everyone's opinions, and left here after three months.
Mu Sheng came to Li Rong's residence as always, knocked on the door, and saw Li Rong treating him gently as always.
Mu Sheng rushed forward to hug her body, hugged her tightly, and even strangled her a little out of breath.
At this time, Li Rong was also moved: "Husband, ......"
They knew that this was the last time for the two of them, Mu Sheng didn't say a word, just picked up Li Rong's soft body and went to the inner room......
Three months later, Mu Sheng came to the entrance of the village and waved his hand to summon a light gate, which is the passage to the real world, everyone saw the light gate appear, and they were a little excited for a while, and they were also a little sad in their hearts.
At this time, a man in the crowd came to Mu Sheng with a woman's hand, he was Pei Chen, Yuan Ang's former follower, and Mu Sheng's classmate, the woman next to him, Mu Sheng guessed that it might be the little junior sister in his mouth!
Pei Chen pulled the woman to salute and said, "Meet the senior brother, my sister and I are leaving, if we have a fate in the next life, I hope to be able to participate in the cultivation of the Jade True Sect." ”
When Mu Sheng heard this, he sighed with emotion: "I hope so, thank you Brother Pei for your help in the past few years, go all the way!" ”
Pei Chen nodded and glanced at his junior sister, the two passed through the light gate together, seeing this situation, Mu Sheng also sighed in his heart, although the relationship between men and women here is very chaotic, but in the end, the most unforgettable thing in Pei Chen's heart is his little junior sister.
After saying goodbye to several monks and friends in the village, Lao Chen came to Mu Sheng and said, "Brother Mu, it seems that we are going to say goodbye to each other." ”
Mu Sheng looked at Chen Tianji, who had a white beard in front of him, and remembered all the things he had gotten along with in the past, and the fighting friendship of fighting side by side, and couldn't help but moisten his eyes a little.
Mu Sheng held his hand tightly and said, "Old Chen, I hope we will meet again in the next life, and we will have a good drink with him." ”
Lao Chen laughed and said, "Definitely!" If I can still remember you in the next life, I will definitely go to the appointment, and I must prepare good wine, good meat and beautiful women for the old man. ”
Mu Sheng smiled: "That's a certainty, you must manage enough." ”
Mu Sheng knew that Lao Chen's words were just a joke.
Lao Chen suddenly took out a jade slip from his arms with a solemn face and handed it to him, and instructed: "Mu Jun, before leaving, I will ask you one thing, send this jade slip to my apprentice A Shan of Xuanyuan Sect, she is my closed disciple, and she is the best talent among all the disciples, more than 400 years, it is no accident that she should also cultivate to the realm of the four phases, if she is not alive, she will hand over this jade slip to the head of the sect, it can be regarded as my last little thought about the sect." ”
Mu Sheng nodded with a heavy heart: "Lao Chen, don't worry, I will definitely fulfill your last wish." ”
With that, Chen Tianji turned around and took two steps, and then walked through the light gate without looking back......
Mu Sheng looked at Li Rong, and saw that she was explaining something to the disciples of the corpse puppet sect who came with her, and Qiu Hao, the acrobat who inspired him, was also among them, Chunmei also accompanied Li Rong with tears in her eyes, and after explaining, Li Rong accompanied the disciples to the direction of Guangmen, and saw that the disciples were gone, so she turned around and walked towards Mu Sheng.
Li Rong had obviously cried, her beautiful eyes seemed to be a little swollen, Mu Sheng took her hand and kept looking at her face as if she wanted to engrave her appearance in his heart forever.
Li Rong said in a sad tone: "Those disciples under my sect, it was because of me that I fell into such a desperate situation, I am so sorry for them, my personal maids Chunmei and Qiu Hao are willing to stay and help me pass on the inheritance of the corpse puppet gate, and please take care of them in the future." ”
Mu Sheng was full of promises, at this moment he looked at Li Rong's eyes steadily, holding her hand tightly and refusing to let go, after a while, he slowly let go of her hand, he understood that it was time to let go.
Li Rong slowly turned around and walked in the direction of the light gate.
At this moment, Mu Sheng's heart was full of reluctance, he rushed forward and hugged Li Rong's waist tightly, and said, "Sister Rong, I won't forget your ......"
When Li Rong heard this, her body trembled, she turned around and looked at him affectionately and said, "...... Husband, you and I have different paths, and your family and wife in reality are still waiting for you, so you should let go. ”
Mu Sheng took her hand a little childishly and said, "I just won't let you go?" ”
Li Rong's expression was also a little shaken at the moment, thinking of the time she spent together in just a few years, although it was short, this seemed to be the happiest moment when she came to this ghost place.
