The vastness dissipated, and an ancient road appeared in front of Li Pichen.

The gray mist floated here, Li Pichen looked around, illusory stones, vague rotten wood, this is a certain earthly world among the dust.

The ancient road is crooked, and the stone platform is also mottled, which seems to have a history of tens of thousands of years.

And here, obviously, is on top of a mountain.

Li Bichen stepped on this path, there was a moist breath in the air, all the way, the scenery was almost the same, and after walking about a long incense column, at the edge of the road, Li Bichen saw a gray and desolate bone.

This skeleton emitted a strange aura, as if it was out of place with this world, Li Bichen looked at it carefully, but this skeleton did not appear any miracles, there were no expected illusory sounds, and there was no sudden movement of jumping up and starting, this desolate skeleton just sat on the side of the road, with withered yellow grass and moss-covered stones scattered around him.

Li Pichen stopped here and looked at the desolate bones.

"The Great?"

In the deepest part of the imperial tomb, there is a pair of imperial bones silently watching everything.

Barren mountains and fog, the edge of the ancient road.

Er is the emperor?

"It's me. ”

Unexpectedly, the skeleton actually replied.

However, it did not move, still leaning against the rocks.

"You.... Is it really the one?"

Li Bichen felt a little incredible, he was just holding a casual mentality, but he didn't expect the other party to really respond.

"If I don't come, how can you see through the vanity of the dust?"

The skeleton sounded: "You didn't expect to meet me like this, there is no unexpected miracle, and there is nothing special that crushes the heavens...... That's because I'm just a skeleton. ”

"I have lost the Fa, leaving only the Dao, and for me who has lost the Fa, all I have left behind is some reminders for my juniors. ”

The bones opened their mouths, as if they were telling some ancient secrets.

Li Bichen was puzzled, so he sat down on the ancient road: "You have lost the Fa?"

"Yes. ”

The skeleton responded: "I once thought very highly of myself, entered the land of nothing, and finally died in it. ”

The words were short, Li Bichen also knew about this matter, Tiangang Ancestor had already said this, so Li Bichen said: "Later, the emperor of the people will carry you out?"

"Yes, I am willing to exchange half a lifetime qi for him, let him take me out of the land of nothing, he is special, the body stepped into the land of nothingness without falling, I sat in the wilderness, lost the other Dharma, left only the Tao, my soul and the true spirit separated, so there is no way to act. ”

"There is no name of mine in the three mountains of the Netherworld, so the captain will not come to collect me, so there is no need to say more, otherwise it will be impossible to finish talking for a long time. ”

Li Bichen spoke: "Are you still the true spirit of the past?"

The skeleton responded, "Yes, it's just that there is no soul." ”

"You sit down here, you shouldn't be here to discuss the story of the past with me, come on, I will tell you what the trial you are going to undertake, and the same is true for everyone else, in fact, this skeleton is not my real body, my real body is still in the Imperial Tomb. ”

"Sometimes, although there is no soul, but the true spirit is not bound, I come to see you with a thought, and I also want to meet other Taishang. ”

Bone words, Li Bichen seemed to think of something, so he asked: "You are also Taishang?"

"I am a saint, before the emperor of men, and his method of the saints is obtained from me. ”

The tone was steady, but the voice fell, like a thunderclap.

Li Bichen was stunned and said quickly: "You just said that you lost the Fa because it was given to the Human Emperor?"

"No, what I'm losing is another Dharma, the Supreme Dharma.... There is a reason why the saints were transferred to the emperor, but again, it is extremely long, so I will not say it. ”

The bones didn't care about Li Bichen's state, and said straightly: "You go this time, outside this mountain, as soon as you enter the world, what you have to face is the 'malice' of the whole world." ”

"Your ambition is to let everyone in the world save themselves, everyone is like a dragon, you can't lose, you can't move forward, you can't be afraid, but in this world, what you want to play is a person who makes the whole world fear. ”

"Wherever you go, there will be people who want to kill you, some of these malices are innate, some are acquired, but among these people, there are still good people, and when evil and good collide, you have to face a problem. ”

"Which one do you choose?"

The skeleton's voice was calm: "Every earthly trial is different, but they also have to face the choice between 'one person' and 'the world', which may be love, or desire, or good, or evil. ”

"This is the vanity of all the dust, good and evil, if you see through it, don't dwell on it, you can naturally get out of it, everyone's answer is different, if you think it's right to kill everyone in the world, then this is okay. ”

"This is the case in this world, representing evil, this is not to say how cruel sentient beings are, this kind of evil is the evil that comes from the deepest part of the human heart, which cannot be resolved, and many people have been driven crazy in the past. ”

"One more point. ”

Li Bichen and the skeleton looked at each other and waited quietly.

"Every time you kill an evil person, your mana will rise a little, every time you save a good person, your mana will fall a little, if everyone in the world is good, then you will become a mortal, if everyone in the world is evil, then you will become an invincible master in the world. ”

"You are a great immortal who guards the realm of scarcity, and you are a sage who borrows the qi of heaven and humanity, but at this time, it is better to look on life than to step directly into the vast world. ”

"The invincible will not be invincible forever, good and evil are divided, there is a great road, and the river is under the avenue, moving retrograde. ”

After the emperor bone finished speaking, he stopped speaking, and at that moment, there seemed to be some kind of power in the darkness that disappeared, and Li Bichen understood that it had left.

.........

The fog was misty, and the Taoist wearing the yin and yang robe had disappeared, and the desolate emperor bones were hidden in the ancient road outside the mountain, and finally disappeared.

The ancient road is smoky, and there is a shadow hovering ahead.

A ruined village appeared, Li Bichen raised his head, and a cry of fear came from inside.

Li Bichen walked into the village, the houses were all broken tiles, and his eyes shifted to see an old man leaning on the door of a small temple, looking down the mountain with cloudy eyes.

The stone path led to the bottom of the mountain.

Li Bichen looked around.

"Uncle, what kind of place is this?"

Li Bichen wanted to ask about this earthly past, but the old man glanced at Li Bichen and said, "People from outside the mountain?"

"It should be......"

The old man had a yellow face and thin muscles, ragged clothes, and a broken bowl with a notch beside him.

"This is the old mountain, you can only enter but not exit, if you come from outside the mountain, then you can't go out again. ”
