There was a storm outside the temple, and the inside of the temple gradually became quiet, but Alian was not sure when the temple would be eroded by the wind and rain outside again.
At this time, an uninvited guest entered the temple. Alian was there first, and then saw a gleam of light, which was the other person's eyes, which made the darkness of the temple dissipate a lot.
Alian recognized this uninvited guest. It was the black tiger under the Immortal Master's throne. It rarely left the Immortal Master's side. Why was it here now
Black Tiger's eyes were very bright now, as bright as stars, and he said to Alian: "The master has been very kind to you, and now is the time for you to repay him."
Alian suddenly understood why the statue did not respond, because the immortal master was in danger.
She was actually a little happy at this moment, because she could finally do something for the immortal master. No matter what the price, she was willing to pay, she said: "No matter what, as long as I can do it, I will do it."
Heihu said with unprecedented seriousness: "The master is in great danger. I can only think of one way to help him, and that is to light this lamp, because this is the thing that I can find the closest connection with the master at this time. , Master also said that practice is to light a lamp of heart, illuminate the way forward, and dispel confusion. Although this lamp is not the lamp of Master's heart, it is the condensed incense of Shinto that you believe in Master, and it should be effective. "
Alian said: "But I don't know how to light it."
Black Tiger said quietly: "Because it still needs a wick, and this wick is you."
Alian was shocked, but suddenly understood that the greatest sacrifice to the gods was not a blood sacrifice but a body sacrifice. This lamp was the medium between her and the immortal master.
But she didn't understand one thing, so she asked: "Then when the immortal master gave me this lamp in the beginning, it was destined to end like this. I am not afraid of death, but I am worried about my daughter. The immortal master should know that, he Why didn't you explain it to me clearly?"
Black Tiger said in a low voice: "That is the way out for you by the master. You have become his most loyal and devout believer, so it will be difficult for you to enter the reincarnation. Therefore, the physical body is something that you must abandon sooner or later. When you When you transform into a wick, you will also become the spirit of this treasure and live in the world in another form. Moreover, I also have a way to create another physical body for you, if you still want to experience the feeling of a human being."
Alian whispered: "Then what should I do now."
Black Tiger said: "Hold this lamp tightly."
Without any hesitation, Alian grasped the lamp tightly. After a while, she felt herself become blurred. It turned out that all this was not complicated. If there was no black tiger, sooner or later she would grasp the lamp.
Then there was light.
The oil in the lamp is her blood, and the wick is her body. This lamp is born from the divine way and gives the world eternal light. Similarly, Alian also 'saw' the image of the black tiger at this time, covered in blood, without a single piece of fur intact, and she also understood why its eyes were so bright, because it was burning its soul.
In fact, the black tiger's ability to survive to this day is due to its undying obsession at this time, even burning its own soul and dragging its remaining body to the temple. All this was done just to get Alian to light the lamp as soon as possible, because she was afraid that if it was too late, the master would never come back.
The black tiger is very lazy and afraid of death, but it is willing to dedicate everything to the master from the bottom of its heart, because only by following Shen Lian can it know so many things and can it truly see the world from a broader perspective.
It even hates why it didn't practice hard in the past, so that it is so injured now that it can't do more.
The lights of the temple dispersed the wind and rain outside the temple. Within the range of the lights, the chaotic ideas quickly became orderly. Many people of the Wuzu clan discovered this.
He began to approach the temple, while silently chanting the immortal master's Taoist name - Qingxuan in his heart.
Black Tiger leaned on the threshold of the temple, watching all this, looking at the increasingly intense light, calling in his heart: "Master, have you sensed it? Come back quickly."
It still remembers the collapse of Shen Lianrou~'s body before, and his sudden disappearance from the world, together with that unforgettable arrow.
Black Tiger naturally did not believe that the master would disappear from the world so easily, and it had followed Shen Lian for many years and knew that the master had once mentioned a theory, which was to turn life into a dream to avoid any harm.
But this will also cause him to fall into a dream state and be difficult to wake up, so outside power is needed to wake him up.
So when Shen Lian disappears completely, Black Tiger will have this association, whether the master has turned into a traceless dream.
Perhaps when Shen Lian told him this, he made the lotus-shaped Shinto lamp accidentally and deliberately, which made it possible to help Shen Lian today.
This lamp was supposed to save people, and it might also save Shen Lian in the end.
… …
Shen Lian traveled through a hazy time and reached an era that he could not imagine. The earth is full of unimaginably towering peaks. Some mountains are even bigger than Qingxuan Earth Star, and the vast plains are more difficult to cross than the stars.
There were too many powerful and terrifying auras in the sky and on the ground, which made him feel insignificant.
And he couldn't go anywhere, he could only stay in a mountain.
This mountain was the man's territory, and Shen Lian also knew who the man was. He was Dayi, the most invincible and powerful man after the Emperor.
It seemed that Dayi couldn't see him, and all the creatures in the mountain couldn't see Shen Lian. He seemed to have really become a passerby in the long river of time, silently watching everything in this mountain, but unable to devote himself to it.
Shen Lian saw with his own eyes that wild beasts in the fairyland were easily hunted by Dayi, and even these could not arouse Dayi's interest.
Dayi had no friends, but he had many tribesmen. He was very kind to his tribesmen. He never kept what he hunted for himself, but distributed it all to his tribesmen, but no tribesmen dared to get close to him.
Because he has a naturally aloof temperament and is isolated from the world.
This kind of temperament is not the elegance of the otherworldly immortal family, but is not tolerated by heaven and earth. Shen Lian can even see invisible chains transformed by laws, coiling around Dayi all the time.
If the immortal family were as tyrannical as Dayi, they would naturally restrain their aura and let heaven and man blend together. But Dayi did not do this. He is who he is, and there is nothing else except me. Therefore, the world cannot tolerate him, and he has never put him in the world. The world is in your eyes.
Compared with Dayi, King Xia's strength can be called fragile.
It's just that no matter how powerful a person is, once they get used to it, it's difficult to be touched. Besides, Shen Lian is now in a state of passerby.
He could see and hear, but he couldn't interfere.
This may really be just his dream, and he can only be a lonely awake person, but he cannot escape from the dream, or even understand that this dream has any meaning.
Only in the boundless loneliness can one clearly feel the silent flow of time, which seems to be endless.
