The little girl did not speak, but grimaced at her brother, and ran into the house in two or three steps.

Qin Tian quietly watched the joys, sorrows and sorrows of this family in the air, watched the two children play and laugh, watched the two children shake their heads and read together, watched the elder brother practice martial arts in the courtyard, and watched the younger sister embroider in the house.

But the child, after all, is still a little playful, and my sister didn't sit in the house for long, so she ran out to play again.

Seeing this, her mother chased after her, grabbing her sister's ear and babbling, but she didn't really hit the child.

"Meow meow."

Xiao Huang screamed twice.

Qin Tian glanced down at Xiao Huang: "Then you go and deliver the letter." ”

Xiao Huang took the blood-stained envelope in his mouth and fell from the air.

"Meow meow."

Two cat meows attract the attention of two women, one older and one young.

"Where's the tanuki?" The mother muttered quietly, but she couldn't take her eyes off it.

Xiao Huang's coat is bright and shiny, which makes people happy at first sight.

"Kitten, kitten." My sister happily stepped forward and wanted to stroke Xiao Huang.

Xiao Huang didn't resist, just squatted quietly in place, waiting for her sister to come over.

"Mother, look, this kitten still has something in its mouth?"

"What?" Mother leaned in.

Xiao Huang put the envelope on the ground very obediently and pushed the envelope with his paws.

"What is this?" My sister was curious: "This kitten is so well-behaved." ”

Looking at the bloody envelope, a bad premonition rose in the woman's heart.

"My wife is like a kiss, and the words are like faces......"

Opening the envelope and looking at the contents of the letterhead, tears crossed the corners of the woman's eyes.

"Mother, mother, why are you crying?"

The younger sister tugged at the corner of her mother's clothes, with a trace of sadness and a little fear in her eyes.

"No, it's okay, my mother is fine, my mother is, it's just ......"

The woman looked at Xiao Huang: "Where did this letter come from?" He's alive, he's alive, isn't he? ”

She didn't know if she was crazy, but she saw pity on a cat's face.

Xiao Huang sighed, shook his head gently, flicked his tail, and barked twice.

For some reason, the woman felt as if she understood the kitten's meaning.

If she told others, she was afraid that others would think she was crazy, but in the dark, she seemed to hear the tanuki answering her questions.

"Is he really not coming back? Are you sure? ”

The woman wiped her tears and was incoherent for a while, as if she did not want to believe this fact, knew what to say, and hugged her daughter and began to cry.

The news of the defeat of her husband's army at the front had already come back, and although there was no news of him, she insisted that he was still alive.

But the blood-stained letter shattered her illusions.

How she wished that everything in front of her was just a nightmare she had, wishing that she would wake up with her husband right in front of her.

The real touch of the envelope in her hand made her unable to convince herself that it was just a dream.

"I must have missed your father so much that I had a dream that a cat had sent back some of your father's letters before he died."

"Yes, it must be a dream, it must be!" The woman's expression was a little dazed: "It's good to go back and sleep, just sleep, it's fine." ”

Xiao Huang sighed, and there was a gurgling sound from her body.

An inexplicable spiritual fluctuation emanated, enveloping the woman.

This is a spell that Xiao Huang figured out by himself after he woke up.

It's more of a natural ability than a spell.

Felines occasionally purr when they feel pain as a way to comfort themselves, or their companions.

Huang turned this talent into a spell that could be used to heal others.

And his greatest role is to stabilize the mental state of others.

Qin Tian had tried Xiao Huang's ability, and it was really very useful.

The healing effect of this talent on physical injuries is not particularly obvious, at least it cannot be compared with Qin Tian's methods.

But if you go mad in the process of cultivation, or if your mood is unstable, it is still very beneficial to be brought to this by Xiao Huang.

Under the influence of Xiao Huang's mental fluctuations, the woman's mood gradually stabilized.

Maybe when you wake up, it's really much better.

"Sleep, sleep, wake up and forget all the pain."

Xiao Huang stared at the two women, one big and one small, and walked into the courtyard in despair.

The little girl was obviously frightened by her mother and Xiao Huang, so Xiao Huang took care of the little girl with her.

Standing in the clouds, Qin Tian beckoned, and Xiao Huang flew back.

On the way back, Qin Tian sent the last letter to many people.

He has seen too many joys and sorrows, but he can still empathize, and the joys, sorrows, and sorrows of mortals can still leave a little ripple in his heart.

Sometimes he would show up in person to hand over the book to their family, but more often than not, it was Xiao Huang who came forward.

Those who received the letter could only see a Taoist with a cat disappearing into the sky from a distance.

Mortals can't tell whether Qin Tian is real or not, but it can be a letter to the family, but it can't be faked.

It's just that the envelopes sent out by Qin Tian this time are not many, and the scope of influence is not large, so the myths and legends about this time are only circulating in a small area.

……

When he returned to the small courtyard he had rented before, it had been nearly two years since Qin Tian left.

This small courtyard has not been cleaned for a long time, and it is already full of dust.

Qin Tian naturally wouldn't be like a mortal and clean the room by himself.

With a flick of his fingers, the entire courtyard suddenly took on a new look, and even the mattress that had been very worn out became soft and comfortable again.

Qin Tian stretched out his hand and pointed, and a recliner composed of tree branches grew on the ground.

Lying down, enjoying the winter afternoon sun, Qin Tian slowly closed his eyes.

He didn't need sleep for a long time, and many times he would meditate instead of sleep and spend long nights.

But that doesn't mean he can't fall asleep again.

It has been more than a year since he left Chang'an City, and he has gained a lot in the past year.

Cultivation is not too forgetful, let alone watching everything that happens in the world with a cold eye.

Closing his eyes, Qin Tian didn't intend to digest all the gains he had gained for more than a year, at this time he didn't want to think about anything, he didn't want to do anything.

He just wanted to close his eyes and get a good night's sleep, so as to soothe his mental exhaustion.

In a trance, Qin Tian actually felt that he had a dream.

In his dream, he actually saw that the originally ruthless Heavenly Dao gradually had its own seven emotions and six desires under the influence of all things in the world.

The emotions of countless animals and plants after their death affected the Heavenly Dao, giving the Heavenly Dao a trace of its own consciousness.

And when humans began to appear in this world, this process was accelerated.

Human rational thinking accelerates the catalytic Heavenly Dao to have its own consciousness, and in the same way, the seven emotions and six desires of human beings are also influencing the Heavenly Dao, giving him his own preferences.

However, the Heavenly Dao does not interfere with the trajectory of all things in the world, let alone show special attention to a certain individual.

Heavenly Dao loves all people, all living beings, but he is also absolutely ruthless.

Because he loves every creature equally, even if it is just an ant or a seaweed, it is a completely equal existence in his mind.

Loving everyone, in fact, to a certain extent, can also be seen as each of them, every creature does not love.

For all living beings are completely equal with Him.

But the moment Qin Tian appeared, there was a slight change in this situation.

Here in the Heavenly Dao, the status of Qin Tian, a special individual, seemed to be a little different.

And when Qin Tian became more and more conspicuous in the eyes of Heavenly Dao, Heavenly Dao sent a wisp of his own breath to Qin Tian's side.

He wanted to get more from Qin Tian, and Heavenly Dao felt that Qin Tian could make up for the missing part of himself!

But in fact, the way of heaven lacks nothing, he is perfect, and it is the truth of the operation of everything in this world.

What the Heavenly Dao desires is actually to elevate oneself to one's own level and realize one's own leap.

He didn't know what his desire meant to Qin Tian.

If Qin Tian really agreed to Heavenly Dao's request, I was afraid that he would instantly merge with Heavenly Dao and truly live forever.

But...... Is that still Qin Tian?

What happens when the memories and emotions of all living beings flood into a person's mind for hundreds of millions of years?

Assimilation.

Qin Tian's only fate in the end was to be assimilated by the Heavenly Dao.

Even if this is not the original intention of Heavenly Dao, even if Heavenly Dao is even willing to hand over his own initiative.

But with such a large volume of Heavenly Dao, it no longer makes sense whether he surrenders the initiative or not.

The moment Qin Tian agreed to merge with the Heavenly Dao, it was the moment when he died.

It seems that he has gained eternal life, but in fact he has become a puppet of the Heavenly Dao, or a part of the insignificant doppelganger of the Heavenly Dao.

Qin Tian was not willing to gamble on the tiny possibility that he still retained his consciousness, at least he knew that he couldn't do that now.

Even if he really wants to fit the Heavenly Dao, I am afraid that Qin Tian must at least have the strength comparable to that of the Hongjun Ancestor in the legend of his previous life.

Before that, Qin Tian would definitely not consider this possibility.

When he opened his eyes, Qin Tian actually found that there were two tears in the corners of his eyes that were slowly left.

It was Heavenly Dao's tears, and it was Heavenly Dao who was feeling sorry for Qin Tian's refusal.

But Heavenly Dao would not interfere with Qin Tian's choice, he would wait, waiting for the day when Qin Tian made his choice.

No matter how Qin Tian chooses, after he dies, he will naturally still integrate into the Heavenly Dao.

In the eyes of Heavenly Dao, there is actually no concept of time.

The life of a mortal is only a short hundred years, and in the hundreds of millions of years since the Heavenly Dao was conscious, a hundred years is just a flick of a finger.

Even if it is thousands of years, it is still only a blink of an eye for the Heavenly Dao.

He could wait, wait until the day when Qin Tian made his choice.

Or is it...... Wait until Qin Tianshou dies.

When he opened his eyes, Qin Tian found that he didn't know when there was an extra layer of fallen leaves around him.

Pinching his fingers, spring went to winter and came again, and it seemed that he had only slept for one night, but in fact he slept for a whole year.

"Meow meow."

Xiao Huang shouted happily twice on the side, as if he was happy for Qin Tian's sobriety.

Qin Tian stood up and touched Xiao Huang's head with a smile: "Thank you for protecting the Fa for me this year, it's really hard for you!" ”

Xiao Huang raised his head in enjoyment, squinted his eyes, and made a snoring sound in his throat.

He licked Qin Tian's palm.

"If you haven't eaten for a year, you're hungry, aren't you?"

A wisp of pure aura appeared in Qin Tian's hand.

"Taste this?"

The aura was like jerky, swallowed by Xiao Huang three times and five divided by two.

It's just an aura, but it makes Xiao Huang burp.

Looking at her eyes, it seemed that she still wanted to, but Qin Tian scratched Xiao Huang's chin with a smile.

"It's okay, you can't eat too much at once, otherwise you'll get it."

Qin Tian stood up and looked up at the sky.

This year's sleep is actually the process of his communication with the Heavenly Dao.

During this year, Qin Tian saw the formation process of the Heavenly Dao and understood what the Heavenly Dao thought.

The way of heaven is not an ethereal thing, it exists around everyone, and loves every creature equally.

In the same way, he does not target any living creature or species, nor does he interfere with their evolutionary process.

However, because human wisdom and rationality are indeed the highest species in this world, Heavenly Dao still has a slight preference for human beings.

In order to complete himself, or to allow himself to leap to a higher level, Heavenly Dao was very eager to be able to merge with Qin Tian.

For this reason, Tiandao did not hesitate to show everything he had to Qin Tian, and even took the initiative to hand over some of his authority.

Now, Qin Tian could mobilize part of the Heavenly Dao's authority to a limited extent.

But if anything, it's really useless.

Heavenly Dao sounds very majestic, but he will not interfere with the trajectory of everything in this world, nor will he allow anyone to interfere.

To put it simply, Qin Tian, as a creature in this world, can rely on his own ability to solve anything, but he must not rely on the Heavenly Dao to deal with other creatures or make any impact.

And the only use of Heavenly Dao's authority was to allow Qin Tian to know the past of anything in this world.

To put it simply, the Heavenly Dao is equivalent to a database that can only be accessed and cannot be modified, and this database records all the information of the current world.

Qin Tian was able to look up the trajectory of any person, even every atom in a stone—provided that Qin Tian's brain could withstand such a huge amount of information!

But we can only look at the past, and we can't predict the future, because the Heavenly Dao can't do this.

"Useful, but not entirely useful." Qin Tian smiled helplessly.

After this dream of Nanke, Qin Tian also put his mind at ease, and his resistance to the way of heaven also dissipated invisibly.

Qin Tian had no way to deal with this kind of Heavenly Dao that had no ego at all, and in order to merge with Qin Tian, he was even willing to take the initiative to hand over all his Heavenly Dao.

To put it mildly, Qin Tian even felt that the Heavenly Dao was a little ...... Lick.

The crux of the matter was that merging with the Heavenly Dao was not only a disadvantage but a disadvantage for Qin Tian, and there was no benefit.

How could he agree to such a request, no wonder Heavenly Dao asked for fusion with such a humble attitude, after all, there was a request for people!
