The era of ancient powers has come to an end, and the past as long as a world away only survives in mythology.
Emperor Qing is the god of Sichun who lives in the east, one of the five emperors above the common people, and now he has disappeared, and he does not know where his soul returns.
In the novels that Xie Yao has read, most of the protagonists have obtained various extraordinary inheritances through various channels, and then soared into the sky and went straight to Qingyun. But it was very unsettling when it happened to him. It would be fine if it was an ordinary senior or expert, but this Emperor Qing is too famous, too big to be true. What's more, this Song Liyou who claimed to have lived for hundreds of years also made him feel unreliable, and he didn't know if one of the ten sentences was true.
Right now Yun Qing is in charge, even though she clearly does not believe in Song Liyou, she can only let him talk nonsense. Both of them knew that no matter how slim and ridiculous the fate was, no matter how it looked like a trap, they had to have the consciousness to gamble their lives.
Because chance is something that misses this time, I am afraid that it will be difficult to meet again in this life, and I will have nothing to do until the end of my life.
Xie Yao was preoccupied, and he rode a donkey to a more secluded place in the mountains, but before he knew it, he had already fallen behind the others.
This place is a deep mountain and an old forest far away from the official road. The dim light seems to have shrouded this place since ancient times, leading the lost people to places that no one knows.

"Aman." Yun Qing listened carefully to the footsteps for a while, and there were only three people left, so she called Aman softly.
Aman felt Yun Qing on his shoulder pinch his earlobe, stopped immediately, and carefully raised her fingers to reassure her.
"Where is Daoyuan?" Yun Qing asked after careful identification, and naturally there was only one person to ask.
"Heh, that kid is a burden in the first place, so it's good to get lost." Song Liyou raised his eyebrows, and approached Yun Qing with malicious intentions, "There are countless inheritances in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, why do you have to go into this muddy water?"
"Where is Daoyuan?" Yun Qing asked persistently.
"Forget about him, little girl, tell me, do you know anything about Li Gong?" Song Liyou took another step closer, with his hands behind his back, looking confident.
"How to say?" Yun Qing suddenly laughed and asked him with great interest.
"Everyone who cultivates Tao knows that the birth of this ancient relic is mostly false. Even if it is true, it is the back-hand plan left by the ancestors tens of thousands of years ago, and no one will be able to take advantage of this." Song Liyou Analyzing, "But you followed me all the time, regardless of whether my words were true or not, so I guess you probably have the exact news about Li Gong?"
Yun Qing shook her head: "I didn't know what Li Palace is until I met you."
Song Liyou obviously didn't believe it. It took him hundreds of years to figure out a little clue about the parting palace. thing.
"I also have some ancient books and historical materials on hand. If you tell what you know, we can exchange them, and the chances of winning will be better." Song Liyou continued to seduce. In his opinion, Yun Qing probably took advantage of the inheritance of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, and he is a mortal, but this strange man is quite strange, so he should be more cautious. Yun Qingnian was young and didn't know the world, as long as she was under control, that big man would be easy to deal with.
"I don't know what you don't know." Yun Qing still had that innocent and flat tone.
Song Liyou has cultivated the truth for many years, and he vaguely heard a hint of mystery from this seemingly refusal sentence, but this understanding was quickly overwhelmed by the greed in his heart: "Little girl, you are toasting and not eating and punishing you!" liquor!"
"Do you want to die?" Yun Qing tilted her head and asked, her immature smile made people chill in vain.
"Don't you want to know where the oil bottle surnamed Xie is?" Song Liyou's face froze, his current state could not stop Aman's strange force. Fortunately, he still has a backup.
"Although I have been trapped in the seal and my original body has been destroyed, I have been in Taoism for many years. It is very easy to use some tricks around here quietly." Song Liyou thought that the other party had a handle in his hands, and suddenly he gained a lot of confidence. .
"So what?" Yun Qing's expression hardly changed, "He is not as important to me as you think."
"Don't be so stubborn! You have noticed that I have just compared the astrology and led you into the divine way. That kid is just a mortal, and he will never keep his nature. He will definitely get lost in this divine way. You quickly hand over the person from the palace. News, I can still save his life, otherwise... In another half a stick of incense time, the kid will not even have any bones left!" Song Liyou spoke forcefully, but he was already a little uncertain in his heart. After all, Shiwan Dashan's ability to turn his face and deny people is better than anyone else.
"Oh." Yun Qing nodded with a faint smile, and then said to Amon, "Let's continue walking."
"You!" Song Liyou's expression changed, "You are so vicious at such a young age!"
"If he can't even walk through the Li Gong Shinto that was abandoned ten thousand years ago, he must not have a long way to seek immortality in the future. Even if I help him this time, can I still guard him for a lifetime?" Yun Qing didn't turn her head back. , laughing loudly, "This kind of mediocrity, it doesn't matter if he is dead."
She remembered that when they met for the first time, Amang knocked down the wall of Xie Yao's house, and released this noble son who was full of thoughts of seeking immortality but was trapped in the deep courtyard. What did Xie Yao say back then...
"I'm not afraid!" Shang's young face shone with a radiance of determination that countless ascetics never had.
Break through the world of mortals and seek immortality. All of this requires a lot of courage and willpower.
Yun Qing doesn't know how to count the qualifications of a cultivator, but in terms of character, he is the best she has ever seen. Even better than Zhu Wuxia.
For Xie Yao, the confusion of the divine way this time is not guaranteed to be a great opportunity.
Thinking of this, Yun Qing didn't care about Song Liyou who was jumping in anger behind her, but just sat on Aman's shoulder and moved forward step by step. The two figures gradually disappeared into the dark forest.

Xie Yao stood there for a moment after realizing that he was lost.
Surrounded by towering giant trees covering the sky, the forest is extremely dark, and one can only barely know the way by following the patches of light cast by the sun.
I don't know what kind of animal's cry came from far and near, and there were poisonous snakes on the brightly colored mushrooms under the tree. The branches hanging from the tree brushed against his shoulders from time to time, this kind of cold touch was somewhat unreal.
Xie Yao shuddered, it was early autumn, and the autumn tiger had not yet passed under the mountain, but it was already very cold in the mountain. He didn't have much clothes on him, and Amon carried the rest. He originally wanted to wait where he was, to see if Yun Qing would find that he was lost, and then come back to look for it, but the coldness of this place made him a little uneasy.
In his eyes, Yun Qing has always been mysterious and powerful, and it seems that nothing can stop her so far. And he has been studying for so many years, thinking that he is full of knowledge and omnipotent, but he can't do anything when he goes out. I can't stand on my shoulders, I can't lift my hands, I'm scared to death when encountering difficulties, and I can get lost even on the road.
Xie Yao lowered his head in frustration, raised it again, and called Yun Qing several times around. The answer to him was nothing but the harsh mountain wind.
"This son...?"
A soft voice came from behind him.
Xie Yao looked back, and there was a woman in white clothes with a familiar face standing among the deep woods.
"Zhu... Fairy Wuxia!!?" Xie Yao exclaimed.
The woman in white was startled, then smiled and said, "So it's you, young master... I didn't recognize it just now."
Xie Yao was about to step forward when he suddenly felt a palpitation in his heart. He stopped and clasped his fists in a salute: "Fairy Wuxia, I haven't seen you for many years, and you haven't changed at all."
"That's right..." The woman in white smiled softly, "After we parted many years ago, the young master is still as handsome as ever, which makes people heartbroken."
Xie Yao stared blankly at the smile of the man in the dream, only felt his legs go weak, and his heart trembled: "You... Fairy, are you... ?!"
"It's been so many years, Mr. Xie, do you know how much the little girl misses you?" The woman in white stretched out her hand slightly to Xie Yao, "Young master, would you like to go to the fairyland with me and live a happy life?"
"I, I am willing..." Xie Yao was speechless, he stumbled over those vines, and ran all the way to the man.
The woman in white smiled secretly, and was about to intersect his hands, but Xie Yao stopped suddenly.
"No Time, No Time Fairy..." Xie Yao blushed and struggled for a long time before saying anything.
The woman in white took a breath, calmed down, and continued to smile gently: "What's the matter?"
"Fairy... I, I would like to stay and fly with you... but I am a mortal after all." Xie Yao's mood gradually calmed down, with an indescribable sense of emptiness.
"As long as it's Xie Lang, I don't mind..."
"But I don't mind!" Xie Yao hurriedly interrupted her, and he was stunned for a moment after he finished speaking, because he didn't expect that he would be so disrespectful to the fairy in the dream, "I don't want to delay your immortal journey, nor A life of mediocrity."
"I... want to become a fairy!" Xie Yao looked at the woman in white firmly.
The woman in white's eyes instantly changed from soft and charming to cold, and she glanced at him inexplicably, and her figure gradually faded away in the air.
"Is this... Could it be an illusion caused by my longing?" Xie Yao stared blankly at this scene, unable to turn his head around.
"That's right... How could Fairy Wuxia fall in love with a mortal like me?" Xie Yao smiled wryly, bowed his head silently, and suddenly found something shining where the woman in white was standing just now.
"This is... Yu Ruyi?"
A palm-sized jade ruyi slantedly inserted into the soft soil, the warm light reminded him of the eyes of the woman in white just now.
Xie Yao put Yu Ruyi into his arms, with a slight smile on his face: "I'm not willing to be a mortal."
He stood up, looked at the terrifying and deep forest, took a deep breath, and walked in without hesitation.
