“Zhu Zao! If you don’t stop, the five hundred years of the contract will be extended by another hundred years, and you will be put into the ghost bead and not reincarnated…”

A scolding sounded, and Zhu Zao was a little surprised. He was indignant but did not dare to disobey. As his soul dimmed, his figure dissipated and immediately turned into a wisp of green smoke and flew into the jade bottle.

“Hehe! I was afraid that you, an old man, would suffer, so I hurried over. Fortunately, no disaster occurred… Huh? Why are you so angry? Are you going to eat me? My consciousness is not free, and I am disobedient. Who can I blame…?”

Hua Chenzi stopped a few feet away, still with a look of hard work and great achievements. Seeing Lin Yi's gloomy face and the flying sword in his hand still flashing a dazzling cold light, she couldn't help but jump back and widened her eyes innocently.

Lin Yi looked at the unpredictable Hua Chenzi and had to stop, but sighed helplessly. Perhaps, the person who missed home and his parents in the dream at the Caixia Inn shouldn't have died so early...

After a moment of silence, Lin Yi's murderous intent gradually disappeared. He put away the flying sword, turned around and stepped into the clouds.

Hua Chenzi looked around, quietly stuck out his pink tongue, chased after the quiet back, and said: "Old man, don't be angry! Just now I was just curious about the remains of the deceased, who would have thought it would be so vulnerable! What on earth is that...?"

Lin Yi slowly moved forward without saying a word. What is it? He had already seen what the old man had hidden in his sleeves, but found nothing under the illusion pupils, so he paid attention. It was like a ball of condensed mist, which suddenly disappeared into thin air after a slight blow. Then a black light appeared as fast as lightning, as if a crack had been opened in the void, which was very strange. And that situation...

"Ah! That situation is very similar to the destruction of the Qiankun bag..." Hua Chenzi followed. She exclaimed, and then said: "According to the classics, there was a saying of Qiankun in the sleeve in ancient times. Sumeru mustard seeds can be easily made, and there is no need to refine the Qiankun bag specifically. But today, many immortal arts and magical powers have been lost. The dead person must have come from countless tens of thousands of years ago..."

Thinking that he had discovered something, Hua Chenzi kept showing off his knowledge.

Lin Yi was like a real old man, with a calm expression and steady steps. Qiankun in the sleeve is not bad, at least there is no need to worry about people taking away the treasures after death. Everything turned into dust, everything returned to nothingness!

The two people, one in front and one behind, walked farther and farther, and the surroundings were still foggy. As the coldness became more and more intense, the white mist faded, and the dark haze filled the air, as if dusk had fallen, making people feel confused.

Seeing this, Lin Yi became cautious. Three feet behind him, Hua Chenzi finally shut his mouth, still holding the jade bottle in his long sleeves, with a vigilant look.

Unknowingly, the two walked forward for another half an hour. The black haze had covered the sky and the earth, and in the thick night, one could not see one's hand in front of one's face. Suddenly, a gust of wind sobbed, and the bone-chilling coldness hit him.

Even with the cloud robe protecting his body, Lin Yi still shivered in the cold wind. In shock, he realized that his spiritual sense was no longer useful. He slowly stopped and looked around. Under his phantom pupils, there was only endless haze surging. Apart from that, nothing could be seen. And the ghost-like sound of the wind came and went, disturbing the mind from time to time, making people suddenly feel inexplicably tired.

In the boundless night, the road ends at the end of the world!

In a trance, Lin Yi actually breathed a sigh of relief. It was as if he had been running for too long and now he had found his destination; it was also as if he had traveled all the way and finally reached the other side of this journey!

At this moment, Lin Yi could not feel the coldness invading his body, and he just wanted to hold his breath and concentrate to listen to the call in the wind. Strong fatigue came over him, and he sat down cross-legged, his mouth slightly raised, and slowly closed his eyes...

... Figures passed by in front of him and gradually walked away. Among them was a young couple who seemed familiar. Was that his father and mother? The figures that went away one by one were so familiar, including the master, Mr. Su and Xueyun, Cui'er, Tianfu, Zhenyuanzi, Yuanqing, Yuanfeng, Xu Zixuan, Hongquan'er, Yeyu, Mr. Ruoshui, Dongyuer, and... and... after those relatives and friends, there was Qianhu, the first person he killed in his life, and... Zhengyuan, Xianfeng, Gongye Gan and his son...

... hundreds of figures that he knew and had killed came slowly and went away slowly. Whether relatives or enemies, they all looked peaceful. It seemed that the road under their feet had been predetermined, and they walked so easily that people wanted to follow them...

... The young couple was looking back, with a friendly smile on their faces, waving frequently... The master's silver beard was so eye-catching, and he suddenly lowered his head to look at his waist while walking, and then looked around and called. He seemed to be looking for the naughty little Taoist priest and the purple gold gourd...

Lin Yi, who was sitting in meditation with his eyes closed, smiled. His body suddenly trembled, and a virtual phantom left his body. He did not notice anything unusual, and just chased forward happily...

Dad, Mom! The child is here! Master, the gourd you want is here with me...

Lin Yi left as fast as the wind, and the relatives who were so close to him suddenly left one after another. He was a little surprised, but he was unwilling to stop...

After chasing for an unknown amount of time, the figures were still out of reach, so Lin Yi could not help but slow down. Looking back at the road he had come from, he felt even more lonely. He turned to the front again, his expression blank. The clouds and fog blocked the way, and there was no sign of people...

In a state of hesitation, Lin Yi was undecided. Should he chase his relatives or walk alone? At this moment, he felt a chill in his heart, and stood there for a long time... Maybe a year had passed, or maybe it was just a flash of thought, Lin Yi raised his eyebrows, gritted his teeth, and turned back. Suddenly, the clouds and fog in front of him dissipated, the mountains and fields were fresh, and the grass and trees were lush...

...This was a quiet valley, next to a wooden house, a woman was lighting a fire by the stove, and a child with a bun was helping to add firewood... After a while, the stove was filled with fragrance, and the child was about to put out the firewood. The woman smiled kindly and dissuaded him: Candlewood is used to illuminate things and will eventually burn out. Only by leaving a fire to continue can it burn forever...

The mother and son were busy and ignored the visitor. Seeing the child covering the stove fire with stove ash, Lin Yi turned and left. The dead are gone, and the living must still bear the responsibility of inheriting the immortality...

...On the slope of the valley, two people stood beside a newly built tomb. It was a middle-aged man with a sad face, and there was an old man with white hair...The old man said: People follow nature, live in time, and die in accordance with it. You and I are content with the laws of nature and common sense, obey the changes of heaven and earth, and do not have joy or anger in our hearts. The suffering of life and the relief of death, your father's death from illness is not a kind of relief...

Seeing the situation on the hillside, Lin Yi was thoughtful and continued to move forward along the valley, and the scenery changed...

...Under a big tree, an old man and a young man sat on the ground facing each other. The old man had silver hair and silver beard, and a vigorous look. When he raised his hands and feet, he had the demeanor of controlling the world, which made people dare not look down on him. However, his kind smile and soothing voice made people feel safe and tranquil as if they were bathed in the spring sunshine. The young man opposite had long hair draped over his shoulders, his eyebrows were tilted, and there was an unruly smile on the corner of his mouth. He was listening to the other party's teachings...

The old man said: The sky has the changes of the sun, moon, stars and solar terms, and the earth has territories. How can you and I seek eternity and avoid life and death... If you drive away external things and act recklessly during your lifetime, you will inevitably damage your Tao heart and step into danger. Only by following the heart of heaven above and the nature below can you achieve the way of longevity...

Hearing the old man talking so eloquently, Lin Yi shook his head gently and said to himself: What is longevity...

Hearing the voice, the old and the young turned their heads and looked calm, as if there were originally three people discussing Tao under the big tree. The old man smiled and said: You are here...

Lin Yi was slightly surprised, but nodded gently. The other party seemed to have known him for a long time, and said with a smile: The essence of the ultimate Tao, the ultimate Tao, do not see or hear, hold the spirit in tranquility, and will be righteous... It can be said that the heart of Tao is eternal; the eyes see nothing, the ears hear nothing, the heart knows nothing, the spirit will guard the form, and the form is immortal...

Lin Yi was silent in thought, but the young man had a little understanding, and said to the old man: Master, the essence of Tao is deep and distant, the ultimate of Tao is dark and silent, the eyes do not see or hear, the mind is peaceful, follow the right way, and you can cultivate immortality...

The old man smiled with relief, but said to Lin Yi: That's right! A cultivator should go up to the bright realm and reach the origin of Yang Qi; go down to the deep and distant place and reach the origin of Yin Qi. Heaven and earth have a master, Yin and Yang have a house, and adhering to the great way of unity and being in the realm of harmony between Yin and Yang can be called immortality! Besides, young man...

Is this pointing out to me? Lin Yi was startled, and he bowed as a courtesy, listening carefully. The old man continued: Ten thousand trickles become water, and immortality is not a one-day job, and it must be achieved through nine transformations. They are returning to simplicity, obeying the secular world, suddenly understanding, blending with things, being contented, understanding the spirit, blending into nature, forgetting life and death, and then you can cultivate to a mysterious state...

After hearing these words, Lin Yi had a hidden understanding in his heart, but he didn't understand the key points. He had to write down everything the other party said, waiting to slowly experience it in the future.

The old man smiled as usual, and said slowly: It's getting late, it's time to go back!

Lin Yi looked up at the sky, and it was still bright all around. But he didn't dare to disobey, and when he turned around, he still asked unwillingly: How to face life and death, what will happen if you are immortal?

The old man stroked his beard and pondered for a while, and said: Sit quietly with an empty mind, forget about both things and me. Sit and forget about life, sit and forget about death. Everyone dies, but I am the only one left...

Lin Yi had a flash of inspiration, but he felt lost. Everyone dies, but I am the only one left, this is the way to longevity...

The young man then chuckled and said: Rather than sitting and forgetting life and death, it is better to break through it in one day...

Lin Yi looked back, and there was no one under the big tree. Why didn't they feel strange when they met for the first time? The old man looked vaguely familiar, but the young man seemed...? In shock, he realized that the sky was dim! Suddenly he came to his senses, and his body suddenly floated up, and then he went away like a gust of wind...

In the clouds and mist of Jiuyuan's land of life and death, Lin Yi, who was sitting in meditation, suddenly opened his eyes. Between confusion and clarity, it seemed that there were valleys and stars flashing by, as if real and illusory, but there was no way to trace them! He looked down, and his body was covered with a layer of light frost.

How long has it been like this? If he didn't wake up in time, would he just sit there and forget about life, and sink into it forever, until he was reduced to ashes?

Lin Yi secretly circulated his spiritual power, and the frost immediately slid off. Without thinking too much, he hurriedly stood up and turned around, his expression startled...
