I don't know that there is a village in the mountains, built on the mountain, although there are only a few dozen households, but it is a village after all. Since the mountain is an ignorant mountain, the village is naturally called a no-knowing village.

This village is like its name, because the remoteness is basically unknown to outsiders, and even in the town to which it belongs, few people know about this village deep in the mountains.

But on this day, an uninvited guest came to the village. It was noon, the villagers were preparing to eat at noon, and an old man on crutches slowly walked at the entrance of the village, the old man's body exuded a foul smell, and his body trembled, but a pair of eyes did not muddy the people who walked into the wood, as if they could see through people's hearts.

Every time the old man passed by a house, he would knock on the courtyard door, then stare at the woman of the owner's house a few times, then slowly shake his head, say "excuse me", and then turn around and walk to the next house.

The people of the village were attracted by this eccentric old man, and there were not many people in the village for many years, and even if they came, they were also rent-collecting officials, or daughters-in-law who had come back to visit relatives and married into the town. It was the first time the villagers had seen such a strange old man.

So the children of the village, who did not care about eating, ran over to see this strange old man, who had a naughty child, and threw stones from a distance. The villagers did not drive away the old man out of curiosity, not to mention that they did not think that such an old man could bring any danger to the village.

The old man was not annoyed, but looked at the women in the village one by one, as if they were looking for someone. Although the movement was slow, the old man did not stop for a moment, and the village was not big, and slowly, the old man walked to the last house in the village.

The host family has long known about the existence of the old man, so the man of the main family said to the old man with a smile, "Uncle, I have two women, my mother and my daughter-in-law, the person you are looking for is not with me."

The old man sighed and said, "Thank you, it's true, I don't have to, excuse me." Then he turned around and was about to leave. The old woman in the family said to the man, "Erzhu, this big brother has been gone for so long, you can call him in, drink some water, eat some food, and rest." It can also be regarded as accumulating virtue for the child in your daughter-in-law's womb. ”

The young man named Erzhu scratched his head, said embarrassedly, "Mother, don't you say that I think so too" and then got up and went out to support the old man.

The old man had been gone for a long time, and he was too old, and he was hungry and thirsty, so he hesitated for a moment and accepted this kindness, and was mixed into the house by Erzhu, the old man was so old that he could barely hold the bowl when he drank water.

The old man sighed again and said to himself, "It seems that the end is near, but unfortunately I haven't found this last chance." ”

Erzhu's mother glanced at the old man in surprise and said, "Big brother, a person's lifespan is determined by heaven, how can you know it yourself? You are too tired to walk, after a while, after eating, I will ask Erzhu to make a mattress for you, you will be fine after resting for a while." ”

Erzhu also smiled honestly and said, "Yes, uncle, no outsiders come to our village all year round, and it is easy to meet one today, you have to let me entertain you." Erzhu's daughter-in-law also echoed him.

The old man shook his head and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but I have to go." With that, he slowly got up and picked up his crutches.

The old man stood up and hesitated for a while, took off a string of beads from his wrist and rubbed it a few times, then handed it to Erzhu, "I don't need this thing either, you and I are destined, so I will give it to your unborn child, maybe he can use it." Without giving Erzhu a chance to refuse, he walked out of the courtyard.

; Erzhu came to his senses and wanted to chase out of the yard and return the beads to the old man. But they found that there was no old man outside, and several naughty children in the village ran back to their homes in horror shouting "haunted". Erzhu held the beads in his hand, and he stood there without knowing what to do.

Hurry home to discuss with the family, the old lady is a knowledgeable person, and said to the couple, "That old man should be an old fairy, my grandson is destined to have a fairy, it's a good thing!"

Li Erzhu listened to what the old lady said, couldn't help but frown, took his wife's hand and said, "Then I'll hurry up and get some game for you to eat, but I can't wait for the child that the gods fancy to be slow." The daughter-in-law of the Li family glared at Li Erzhu with disgust, and also stroked her belly happily, as if she saw her own child. Laughter and laughter came from the courtyard of the Li family again.

"Wudao, you still haven't found her in this life, according to the rules, you should give up" An emotionless voice came from the void.

An old man in the void gradually appeared, this old man was the old man who was looking for someone in the unknown village just now, the old man's eyes were closed, and his face was full of bitterness.

The voice continued, "You exchanged the immortal body for a wisp of her remnant soul to step into reincarnation, and exchanged the immortal position for the mortal body of the seventeenth mortal body, but you still haven't found her, this is the will of heaven, you should also give up all this and step into reincarnation with me." ”

As soon as the words fell, the old man gradually turned into nothingness, and a young man in a Taoist robe appeared above the old man, and this man was the Wudao who had gone through the seventeenth mortal world mentioned in the voice.

"If I am still me after stepping into reincarnation, Linglong will no longer be Linglong" Wudao stretched out his hand to look at the gradually condensed body, as if he had made up his mind, "In that case, then why should I still be me." Void, I still want to make the last deal with you before reincarnation"

The ethereal voice came again, "All your things have been traded to the void, and according to the rules, you are not qualified to trade"

"And the last one," Wudao smiled and pointed to himself, "I can still take out my soul." ”

The voice was a little surprised this time, "Do you know that once you make a trade with your soul, after the transaction is completed, you will disappear and never exist in the world again?" But even so, this does not make you still remember Linglong after reincarnation, and reincarnation will annihilate everything about you. Nor can it be changed. ”

"Since this is the case, then let me leave a trace of the obsession of cultivating immortals in this life. With the beads she gave me, there may be a slight possibility of recalling her. Wudao clenched his fists.

"Even if you're no longer you, even if you forget her?"

"Even if I'm no longer me!

"Now that you have made up your mind, I will say no more. It's just that after remembering this life, you are gone. The voice in the void was full of sorrow.

Wudao bowed to the front, and in an instant, Wudao and the voice called the void seemed to have never come, and the void became empty again......
