Chapter 156: The Third Dream
If you have not crossed the tribulation, you can face the middle stage of the Yin and Yang Realm head-on without defeat, and if you enter the Qingming Realm, you will naturally be several times stronger. However, I don't know how long it will take to survive this catastrophe, and if you are unlucky, you may fail to cross the catastrophe directly and die and be reincarnated.
Another wave of sleepiness struck, and He Yi couldn't resist this strange exhaustion at all, so he fell asleep again in a daze.
After all, this time he was awake for less than one-fifth of the time when he was asleep, so it was obviously not normal to be so sleepy.
Seeing that he was sleeping again, Lori was a little worried while secretly enjoying that she had a double meal to enjoy. It is difficult to guess about the catastrophe, although it seems that there is no crisis on He Yi now, but no one knows what will happen in the future.
After sitting quietly on the edge of the bed for a while, Lori touched Xiao Yi's head and ordered, "Don't let others come." Then he left the hut and left the Snow Valley.
Beyond the valley is a world of ice and snow.
The seven floating mountains and islands have formed the core of one of the few powerful immortal gates in the snowy region. Qingxue Valley is in the south of "Wendao Mountain", which was originally the residence of Bingxue'er, the little apprentice of the Holy Lord Wuchen's son, but since it was snatched away by Lori, the people near the valley have moved away one by one.
There are three single-storey temples next to each other thousands of steps to the south of Qingxue Valley, which is the place where "Elder Si Jian" usually preaches. Liya Island is where the main hall of the Hanging Mountain is located.
After staying for dozens of days, Lori has long been familiar with the Hanging Mountain, but she never walks those winding ice and snow paths, but flies up directly, flying straight towards the place she wants to go. The elegant thing of enjoying the scenery is not for her, she can only do what she wants to do!
What did Lori do when she left Qingxue Valley, He Yi naturally didn't know, he was asleep, and he entered the dream again.
Falling asleep repeatedly, this was a special experience that he had never seen since he cultivated immortals, and the people and things he saw in the first two dreams were also unusual, not at all like a simple sleep dream. The mystery will probably be understood by him soon.
The third dream began in a daze. As if floating in the starry sky of the universe, and as if floating and sinking in the vast ocean, it took a long, long time for He Yi's consciousness to gradually become clear.
The place I dreamed of this time was a misty river, and there were islands of all sizes, the small one could only accommodate a thatched house, and the big one had no less than a hundred and ten miles of passage.
This scene seems familiar, He Yi slowly fell towards a small island, and at this time, a two-leaf flat boat riding the breeze and mist was also slowly sailing towards this side.
The two-leaf boat is carrying people. The one on the left is a middle-aged Taoist priest dressed in a crane, with a short beard under his chin and his hair tied in a regular bun. He stood in front of the boat with his hands in his hands, his eyes closed and silent. The other is a woman, wearing an aqua-green Luo skirt covering the boat, and two autumn-like eyes reveal an intellectual light. She sat on the boat, looking at the middle-aged Taoist priest with a slight sideways face, thoughtful.
He Yi landed on the island, and the moment he was down-to-earth, he felt as if something had changed in his body, although it was not abrupt, but it was obvious to feel it. He knew it was a dream, so he didn't care, just looked at the two boats that were slowly approaching, and thought about the few people he almost had forgotten.
The great river and thousand islands here were wrapped in fog like a dream, although it was a dream, but he knew that this place was not unfamiliar to him, and he had stayed there for a while before.
This is the most powerful and mysterious sect of immortal cultivation in the northern part of the Ten Thousand Immortal Continent in the Mountain and Sea Realm - Lingxu. And this river is the Illusion Dream Immortal River in the Spiritual Void, the place where the beginner disciples practice.
The two people who floated down the river seemed to have good cultivation, and the woman He Yi didn't know him, but he had some impressions of the appearance of the middle-aged Taoist priest.
The boat was about to approach the island, and the woman spoke: "Senior Brother Chen, we should go, otherwise if we let the head of the family wait for us in turn, I am afraid that people will gossip." ”
The middle-aged Taoist still had his eyes closed, letting the breeze blow through his hair and the corners of his clothes, and his face was unwavering. After a long while, it wasn't until the boat came to a stop when it touched the island that he spoke, "Senior Sister Xu, do you know why I'm here today?"
The two got off the boat and came to the island, and He Yi stood less than two feet in front of them, and they didn't notice it at all.
The woman lifted her long skirt slightly, looked at her senior brother with a little admiration in her eyes, and nodded: "Because this place is where the senior brother first glimpsed the avenue of cultivating immortals." ”
Her answer was not speculation, but affirmative. However, the middle-aged Taoist priest smiled and shook his head, his steps drifted forward like the wind, passing He Yi to the island, and said at the same time: "You only know one thing, but you don't know the other. Although I built the foundation on Lu Island, I don't have much nostalgia for this place, and I came here today just to thank my old friend. ”
"Old man?" the woman sighed lightly and asked, "Could it be Fan Yu who guided Senior Brother on the path of cultivating immortals?"
The middle-aged Taoist priest still had an indifferent expression, shook his head slightly, and replied: "Fan Yu is just a small person, I think he has done something." Now that I have succeeded in cultivating and have the head of the sect to look down on my position as an elder of law enforcement, my cultivation for more than 200 years has not been in vain. It's just that although it's been a long time, I still can't let go of one incident back then. ”
The two of them slowly walked towards the depths of Lu Island, where there was a large wooden house and a medicine flat, where several white-clothed disciples were meditating with their eyes closed. A leading young man saw that the two wanted to greet them, but he couldn't even stand up under the wave of "Senior Brother Chen".
After looking at the wooden house and the descendants over there for a while through the shade of the trees, "Senior Brother Chen" continued: "Not many people know about this matter, and now we are the only ones who are still alive, and Senior Brother Kong Xiu and me. Senior Sister Xu, do you remember the sword I borrowed from you when we first met? It was exchanged for a purple rhombic flower that I picked back from Wanye Mountain. For the sake of that flower, I and several junior brothers and sisters narrowly escaped life, and although we finally succeeded, we also left a knot in my heart that made me feel very guilty. ”
Senior Sister Xu, who was traveling with her, obviously didn't know about this past, and when she saw her brother talking about it, she immediately asked, "What kind of knot?
The Taoist laughed, turned around and walked in another direction, looked at the waves on the immortal river, and replied, "Yes, I can't let it go." At that time, Senior Brother He Yi threw the purple linghua to me, but he fell off the cliff. Before I left that day, I said I would protect him, but in the end, he was helping me. With that purple linghua flower, I not only got the flying sword and spirit jade, but also got a marrow cleansing pill, which made my cultivation easier. But the guilt of Senior Brother He has always been entangled in my heart, and it has never faded away. Although I heard Lu Shaokang say later that Senior Brother He did not die at the bottom of the cliff, but successfully built the foundation, I have never seen him since then, and the knot in my heart naturally cannot be untied. ”
This remark made that Senior Sister Xu a little surprised when she heard it, because she didn't know that Senior Brother Chen, who had always been very close to her, had such a past. But the same words are heard in the ears of another person, but it is a different taste.
He Yi suddenly couldn't judge whether he was in a dream or reality now. The middle-aged Taoist priest in front of him was Chen Cheng, who had helped him many times on Lu Island and spoke for him. The middle-aged Chen Cheng has less youthful vigor and sunshine than in the past, and has more mature and stable attitude that has experienced ups and downs. However, it seems that in his eyes, the things of that year are still fresh, and more than two hundred years have not sealed the past.
Looking back on the past, He Yi was a little in a trance. He remembered the "three destinies" that Liu Shangxuan had told him.
Those three lives are about the future he will come into contact with if he is rescued by different people after falling off a cliff. One of them is the path that Qian Yao is taking to save him, the other is the road that Liu Shangxuan personally took to send him on the road of cultivating immortals, and the other is the ordinary road of letting a certain spiritual elder save him.
Listening to Chen Cheng's words at this time, He Yi couldn't help but think of the fourth possibility, that is, what would have happened if he had been rescued by Chen Cheng under the siege of the blood crow group.
Assuming the direction of a fate, it is useless to come up with flowers. He Yi knew that it was useless to think too much, but he still couldn't help but think about it, thinking about what he would be like now without Qianyao's guidance.
If his hand was a little longer that day and he was rescued by Chen Cheng, then maybe the blood crows would have caused him to be seriously injured, and finally he would be sent back to Xianhe miserably to be cured by the seniors of the Jindan period. After his injury was healed, he still had to return to the boring cultivation, meditating and watering the garden on his small island every day, going to Lu Island every three days to listen to classes, and every six months a batch of medicinal materials was ripe, so that he could exchange for some cultivation resources.
Maybe Chen Cheng, who got the Ziling Flower, will give him a little treasure, and Lin Yanzhi will leave him some good things when he leaves soon. He will use those things to speed up his cultivation, build a foundation smoothly when the herbs are ripe in a few months, and then sell the medicinal materials to others, and go to Kunxing Island to officially worship the Spirit Void, waiting for the seniors to choose his own disciples.
His talent is very poor, and he probably doesn't have the chance to be selected by the three generations of disciples, and even if he is selected by the four generations of disciples, most of them will be picked back to be called by the furnace boy. Maybe he would be unwilling to be a Dantong like this, so he refused Jindan Zhenren's invitation to accept apprentices, and instead found a place with few people to cultivate alone, just like back then. According to the habit of selection, that place will undoubtedly be Shepan Mountain again, and then he will meet Li Mu again. But without the magic weapon of the firewood knife, he should not have broken the flying sword to anger Li Mu, but it was possible that he would have multiple friends and become the eighth snake of the Snake Pan Mountain from now on.
The limitation of talent doomed him to not be able to cultivate quickly, so after staying up for a period of time and reaching the late stage of foundation building, he was likely to leave Lingxu with Li Mu, Yu Xiu'er, and Gao Yong to go out to practice. In the future, maybe they will die together at the hands of the Beihai Chaos group of demons, or it may be like the facts that have happened, Gao Yong sacrificed himself to stop the big demons, and they fled back to Lingxu.
These are just speculations, but it is certain that if he did not take the path of penance, he would not have gone to Beihai alone, let alone meet Yun Xuan and Chang Le. If he cultivates the Purple Mansion, he may have to work harder than now, but the results that can be harvested for more than two hundred years may not exceed the Yuan Infant Stage at all.
Although penance is hard, it is only at the beginning. For him, what he has experienced now is the best outcome of his fate after all.
