The place where Bai Zhi took Shen Yan was a tomb. The tombstone in front of the grave is engraved with the name of Changsheng.

It turned out that he fell asleep...... Is that what it means?

Shen Yan stood there a little sluggish, and suddenly covered his mouth and cried silently.

The scenes of the past are like watching the flowers in front of you, but the other protagonist in those pictures has been sleeping in the ground forever and ever.

Bai Zhi stood behind her, having gathered all his emotions and turned back to his usual state of being unwavering. However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that there is a deep sadness hidden in those smoky gray pupils.

Without waiting for Shen Yan to ask, he said first: "That day in the Emperor's Mausoleum, Cangming was originally left everywhere because Changsheng was a wisp of the soul of the goddess Cangyue, but in order to save me, Changsheng used the white quinoa sword to disperse the Yuan Shen clone/body that Cangming threw into the world. But the formation he left behind continued to operate, and I was ready to die there, but at the last moment, Changsheng gave up resistance and voluntarily returned to merge with the Cangyue Soul, in exchange for us being forcibly teleported out of the Emperor's Tomb. ”

Shen Yan's pupils constricted slightly, and he asked, "That's why I was picked up by the owner of the ninth floor outside the Unbounded Forest?"

"Yes. Changsheng and Huai Jin are already ....... , you, me, and Huaiyu are not in the same place after being teleported. I don't know where Huaiyu is now, but when I woke up, I was at the foot of Guguan Mountain. When Bai Zhi said this, he closed his eyes and his voice was a little low: "Back on Guguan Mountain, I found that the life lamp I made for Changsheng was extinguished. In this world, there will never be eternal life again...... The next appearance will only be the goddess Cangyue. ”

"That, the Xuanyue ...... I met"

"Xuanyue is an immortal half-soul, and they are not complete souls in the first place. When Changsheng has consciousness, Xuanyue will only sleep for a long time, and will not have her own consciousness. What you meet should be Cangyue, who has just successfully melted souls. Xu was influenced by the experience of Xuanyue and Changsheng, which is why you relayed such news to me. ”

Bai Zhi said this, and Shen Yan finally understood why she suddenly felt heartache when she left that dark place earlier.

After death, normal people enter reincarnation and rebirth, but immortality cannot be reincarnated. Even if she changed from Xuanyue to Immortal, it was just that they used secret methods to make her change her body again.

But after this time, there will be no more immortality in this world......

It was already dawn, and there was still snow on Guguan Mountain.

Gazing at the clothed mound that he had erected with his own hands, Bai Zhi looked sideways at Shen Yan after a long silence and said, "Whether it is Changsheng or Xuanyue, now they have all disappeared forever." Since you have received the Nirvana Heart Sutra, then I will take you as a disciple on her behalf. Miss Shen, I don't know if you are willing?"

Shen Yan was slightly stunned, and then replied, "I am willing." ”

In the immortal gate, the ritual of apprenticeship is also different from that of mortal dust, and it is only divided into three steps in the final analysis. The first step is to get the disciple to kneel three times and bow nine times to show his sincerity. The second step is to ask the disciple to hand over the eight characters of his birthday to the master, so that the lamp can be rushed in time to help him at a critical moment, and even if he really dies, the lamp will record the disciple's situation before his death in time so that the master can avenge him. The third step is for the master and the disciple to exchange the tokens that they always wear, so that others can understand that they are already masters and apprentices, and those who have friends will not look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha to take care of one or two.

Shen Yan didn't understand this, but Bai Zhi would teach her step by step.

Changsheng has passed away, and there is only one tomb to receive her three knees and nine knocks. The eight characters of birth and the tokens were all handed over to Bai Zhi, who received the apprentices on behalf of the disciples, and the latter returned to her with a Yingluo ring.

"This thing used to be Changsheng's favorite thing, and I originally used it to depict the formation and planned to make it into a magic weapon to return it to her. But I never thought of it....... I will give it to you today, and I hope you will keep it well. ”

When Bai Zhi spoke, his eyes still fell on the tombstone engraved with the name of immortality.

Shen Yan took the thing and replied again and again: "Don't worry, Master, I will take it well." ”

Returning to the only small courtyard on the top of Guguan Mountain, Shen Yan looked at the layout of the small courtyard with some curiosity. The flowers, plants, and tables and chairs here don't look like they can be made by a character like Bai Zhi, so the only possibility is what Changsheng did before his death. Obviously, there were traces of her everywhere, but Shen Yan suddenly felt lonely.

She thought that Bai Zhi should be in this mood as well, so she would rather believe that Changsheng was still living here than come back to break her thoughts.

A place where people live is always a little more angry than a place where people don't live there. As soon as Shen Yan stepped here, he already knew clearly that this small courtyard had been uninhabited for at least a year. If it weren't for the rash rush to Guguan Mountain this time, maybe Bai Zhi would still not choose to come back here.

None of them mentioned any of this. People sometimes deceive themselves in this way, and as long as they don't say it, some things seem to have happened yet.

Every part of the small courtyard was shrouded in formations, as always, it was kept clean and there was no dust. Therefore, there is no need to clean up too much. Bai Zhi just took her to familiarize herself with the layout of the small courtyard, and finally stopped in the hall, letting Shen Yan take out the Nirvana Heart Sutra and read it carefully.

"With your talent, it was not suitable for cultivation. However, since the Nirvana Heart Sutra has the name of Nirvana, it cannot be seen by common sense in the first place. It's best for you to practice it. Even so, your progress is much slower than normal. Now that you are facing the crisis of the demon clan, you will not have much time to cultivate slowly. ”

Every time Bai Zhi said a word, Shen Yan felt a little hot on his face. Although she knew that her talent was not good, Ling Yan's words also gave her some confidence. But now that I heard Bai Zhi say this, that bit of confidence was suddenly dispelled again.

Although Bai Zhi didn't look up, he seemed to see her frustration, and paused slightly: "But don't be disappointed. Take a day off today, and tomorrow I will give you an initiation, which will make your spiritual path smoother. ”

The Daigo empowerment is not to teach people to take shortcuts, but to open up the second line of Ren Du among martial artists, just to help people break their own imprisonment, so that the path of cultivation that would have taken many detours can avoid these unnecessary troubles. Generally speaking, the elders who have advanced cultivation give the initiation to the younger ones, and one person can only do it once.

After all, the way of cultivation still lies in the enlightenment of words, and if the character of the mind is not good, it will naturally not be able to become a great tool. Otherwise, how can there be only a few people who can be counted here?

For a realm like Bai Zhi, giving enlightenment to others is only a small thing. Shen Yan was still waiting with a little nervousness, and Bai Zhi behind him had already said in a calm voice: "Okay." Look inward and see if anything has changed. ”

"Is that all it take?" asked Shen Yan as he followed Bai Zhi's instructions and looked inwardly at his body.

When he did this for the first time, even if he knew that this was his body, Shen Yan was still startled. As the saying goes, once born and twice cooked, when I looked inward again, I had no scruples at all, and I only carefully checked the changes in my body.

Just like Bai Zhi said before, Shen Yan is not suitable for cultivation. Her spiritual base is chaotic, and her spiritual root is even more mottled and messy, even if she really steps into the path of cultivation, not to mention the difficulty of cultivation, at most she can only reach the realm of entry. But after Bai Zhi Daigo's empowerment, she found that the chaos of the spiritual base had disappeared, and the messy spiritual root had also been sorted out neatly, even if it was not the cultivation physique of a Tianzhong genius, it was almost the same as an ordinary cultivator.

"Thank you, Master, I can condense the aura. Shen Yan said this, and remembered that no matter what she did before, her aura was shallow and thin, and at first she thought that she was too stupid to do this, but then after carefully reading the Nirvana Heart Sutra, she realized that it was because her own spiritual base isolated the convergence of spiritual energy. Just as a funnel can't hold water, her body can't store aura.

Bai Zhi also relieved his heart when he heard this. He walked over and sat down next to him and said, "I have teleported a hundred years of cultivation with you, but with your current strength, you can't use it for your own use, so you set up a ban, and when you can have the ability to refine it, you will naturally break the ban." The Nirvana Heart Sutra is all-encompassing, and if you can understand one-tenth of it, it is considered good, and I will not teach you much about the extras, so you can only comprehend the things above the Heart Sutra. ”

Shen Yan hurriedly nodded to indicate that he knew. After being silent for a moment, she asked with some concern: "Master, what ......is the matter of the demon clan?"

"I have my own arrangements for this, you don't have to worry. ”

Since Bai Zhi said so, Shen Yan didn't ask anything else. With her current ability, I'm afraid that even if she worries, she won't be able to help.

Thinking like this, she also calmed down and indulged in cultivation.

Except for Bai Zhi in Guguan Mountain, there is only one living person, Shen Yan. Changing to her a long time ago, Shen Yan felt that she would definitely not be able to endure such a life, but now she can endure it to stay here. The daily routine is to cultivate, cook, and go to the tomb of immortality to talk about their experiences. Later, after learning Bigu, cooking was omitted. Occasionally, she would see Bai Zhi standing not far away, staring at the immortal clothed mound, but most of the time he would not come closer.

When the world enters the winter, the flying snow that occasionally stops on Guguan Mountain is gone, and it floats all day long, covering the world and the world. Shen Yan's cultivation has also improved greatly, but Bai Zhi often disappears at this time.

When he was not there, Shen Yan would sit in front of the courtyard gate in a daze after cultivating, looking at the flying snow, looking into the distance, and his mind was empty, and even he didn't know what he was thinking.

One day, Bai Zhi returned from nowhere, with a bit of murderous aura, called Shen Yan to his front and said, "The time should be almost up." I have to stay in Guguan Mountain to guard the 'door' and can't leave, you take my letter to the Buddha Immortal Trick Wall to find the wall Zun Shuoya there. Remember, the letter must be delivered to him personally. ”

As he spoke, a letter that had already been written appeared in his hand and was handed over to Shen Yan.

Although he wondered why he didn't use the communication treasure to send the message, Shen Yan didn't ask much when he saw his dark and solemn color, and nodded after taking the letter: "I know." ”

"Tomorrow morning, let's go. Don't let anyone know that you are sending a letter. After Bai Zhi finally confessed such a sentence, he disappeared again.

Shen Yan was full of doubts in the same place, but in the end he could only put away the letters, and went down the mountain early the next morning.
