In the next two or three years, Shang Ke and Yan Lu both spent their time in the competition of refining things.
As more and more items are available for exchange, the cultivators have fewer and fewer points. They can only watch those good things being exchanged by others. channels for earning points.
Shang Ke thought about it and decided to follow the public opinion and reopen the exchange channel. In addition to the materials, everyone could also use various drawings and recipes to earn points, which would be exchanged every six months.
More and more cultivators poured into the Great Shadow Mountain, and the nearby towns gradually became prosperous and prosperous because of their arrival. Many major sects also began to send people to contact Shang Ke as a sign of friendship.
Shang Ke can openly trade with cultivators. Although some people with ulterior motives cannot be avoided, most of them dare not come to the door to ask for trouble. Because the defensive formation around the Great Shadow Mountain has been thickened by several layers, the number of high-level cultivators has also increased several times. If this trend continues to develop, Daying Mountain is likely to become a holy place for self-cultivation no less than other famous mountains and rivers.
However, things are changing.
Shang Ke's medicinal elixir has allowed many cultivators to break through the bottleneck and advance successively. The world of cultivators, which was once sluggish because of Yan Lu's killing, has ushered in a new turning point. Although only a few small waves have been stirred up at present, everyone has a sense of joy in seeing the sun.
This joy, until seven years later, finally reached its climax.
Someone is about to cross the robbery, and three people cross the robbery at the same time.
One of them was from a sect, and his original cultivation had already reached the distraction stage, but he had not been able to break through the bottleneck. A few years ago, I came to Anxian Tea House with the mentality of trying it out. I exchanged several rare materials for a Jiuxiao Yuanyang Pill, and it was successfully advanced two years later.
The other two were both loose cultivators, and they were the first cultivators to discover Anxian Chaliao, Ding Qiyu and Hua Cheng. The two had a close relationship with Anxian Chaliao, and under the influence of Shang Ke and Yan Lu, they soon became two-cultivator partners, and their cultivations reached thousands of miles. (It's really a "day" thousands of miles... )
The three happened to cross the tribulation on the same day.
Over the Great Shadow Mountain, the wind and clouds changed color, the black mist roared, and streaks of golden lightning appeared and disappeared in the clouds and mists.
All cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage retreated for 3,000 miles, and the cultivators who stayed behind were all masters.
Shang Ke originally didn't care too much about the appearance of the catastrophe. Although it happened in the Great Shadow Mountain, it was mainly aimed at transcending calamities. Others only had enough cultivation to watch the transcending process outside the robbery formation.
However, when the calamity was about to start, Shang Ke gradually realized that something was wrong.
The first was Yan Lu's reaction. I saw that the veins on his face were exposed, the divine power in his body was disordered, the killing energy was surging, and the strong winds quickly circled around the two of them, as if they were facing a great enemy.
The second is the location of Jieyun. The three tribulation clouds rushed towards the area where Yan Lu was located, as if being pulled by some kind of force, and gradually formed a new heavenly tribulation above his head.
At the same time as Shang Ke was astonished, two words suddenly appeared in his mind: "God's Scourge"!
He had speculated about all kinds of possibilities, but he did not expect that the scourge would come in this form. Use the power of heaven to punish the guilty. What's even more terrifying is that three tribulations appear at the same time. If he can't get over it, Yan Lu will definitely be lost.
"Little mushroom, get out of here!" Yan Lu's blood was churning, his eyes were red, and he reminded Shang Ke in an extremely depressed voice.
"Stop talking, prepare for the calamity!" Shang Ke took out a few spiritual pills from the storage ring and stuffed them into the mouths of himself and Yan Lu.
He has collected materials, refined medicine pills, and made friends with monks all these years for this day!
Immediately, Shang could use six high-grade spiritual tools to form a defensive formation, and then handed the quasi-immortal weapon that Yan Lu had refined back then to him.
Yan Lu refused: "I'm worried that I will lose control and fall into the slaughter barrier. I'm afraid I will hurt you with this weapon."
Shang Ke nodded in understanding, and held this quasi-immortal weapon in his hand.
At this moment, the calamity was launched, and dozens of snake-shaped lightning bolts broke through the air, forming a rain of electricity. Heaven and earth roared, rocks shook, and huge air waves swayed around. The cultivators who watched from a distance felt a palpitations, not to mention the four who were going through a calamity.
The second lightning and the third lightning followed, and the power became stronger each time.
The cultivators who were watching quickly discovered the anomaly. Why did most of the lightning strike the direction where the monk Yan Lu was located? They didn't want to rob at all! Will the robbery also shoot away? !
Boom! There was a loud bang, as if hitting the heart, making people tremble.
The mountains and rocks in the distance were cracked, and the grass and trees were flying.
Yan Lu was covered in blood, his eyes were sometimes clear and sometimes chaotic, and his breathing was extremely disordered.
You can still assist by the side, using spiritual tools and formations to resist the attack of the catastrophe. However, the power of the Three Tribulations at the same time far exceeded his expectations. But within a few breaths, he suffered a serious internal injury.
Yan Lu was more serious than him. He not only had to resist the scourge, but also restrain his inner demons. He was troubled both internally and externally, and was on the verge of collapse.
Seeing that the fifth and sixth waves of lightning were about to fall, Shang Ke was about to go all out when he suddenly felt the pressure around him dropped, and the lightning exploded in mid-air, weakening layer by layer.
Shang Ke was surprised, and only when his spiritual consciousness moved, did he understand what happened.
The cultivators who were cultivating in the vicinity of the Great Shadow Mountain successively opened their respective defensive formations, and united to resist the calamity for the two of them.
With their actions, more cultivators joined in, and the defenses were stacked to form a solid barrier. However, most of their cultivation bases have not yet reached the distraction stage, and it is extremely reluctant to fight against the robbery. Every time the defense is broken, one person will exit with serious injuries. When the Nine Heavens Tribulation was launched, no one dared to compete with Tianwei.
Everyone could only silently pray for Shang Ke and Yan Lu in their hearts.
Jiuzhong Tianwei slammed down, and the fierce cold light suddenly flashed, and everyone closed their eyes subconsciously.
Hearing a bang, the earth trembled, the wind was like a sickle, scraping across the skin, and there was a burst of stinging pain.
But for a moment, the tremors stopped and everything was calm. Everyone slowly opened their eyes, and the first thing they saw was a half-arc white light, looming and floating in the air.
Under the power of the catastrophe, it can still maintain operation. What kind of powerful defense is this? and…
"I don't know if it's my illusion, why do I think that the protective cover looks like a... mushroom?" A cultivator suddenly said.
"I don't think it was an illusion, it was indeed a mushroom." His companion confirmed his judgment.
As the fog dissipated, a huge mushroom clearly appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and the white light flickered, like a queen, standing proudly in the world, looking down at all beings.
Shang Ke sat weakly in the dirt pit, looked at the quasi-immortal weapon in his hand, and looked at Yan Lu who fainted beside him, speechless for a while.
This guy actually designed the defensive wall of the quasi-immortal weapon into a mushroom shape! It's not that he looks down on mushrooms, but the roundness and cuteness of mushrooms are completely inconsistent with the mighty and domineering style of quasi-immortal weapons, right
This mushroom control is really no cure.
Shang Ke put away the half-damaged quasi-immortal weapon, put Yan Lu on his back, and walked into the pre-built basement.
Yan Lu's condition is not very good, his cultivation has vanished, his injuries are heavy, and his breath is dying. But Shang Ke was happy in his heart, yes, seeing that his man only had half his life left, he was actually happy. Because the more serious Yan Lu's injury, the shorter the time for the end of the scourge, and the greater the chance of survival.
Shang Ke carefully helped Yan Lu clean up, then fed him the healing pill, then helped him to lie on the bed and accompany him to sleep together.
Before falling asleep, he was still pondering in his heart, and when the injury recovered a little, he would like to thank those monks who helped each other...
Because of the excessive wear and tear, Shang Ke was asleep for three days before waking up. But when he woke up, he found that Yan Lu was gone, and there was only a note left on the table with four words: I want to be quiet.
Quiet your hair! Who is Quiet! Are there any mushrooms? Isn't it just that the cultivation base has been destroyed? What to think!
Shang Ke tore the note to shreds. He didn't know yet that Yan Lu was not only destroyed by his cultivation, but could no longer cultivate. This is undoubtedly a huge blow to him who has always been arrogant. He can be ruthless, or he can abandon evil and follow good, and even dare to be the enemy of destiny, but he can't bear to become a useless waste, not only can't protect the little mushroom, but also becomes a burden to him.
Yan Lu dragged his tired body and walked slowly among the mountains and forests, his eyes were full of unwillingness and anger.
"Ah—Damn!" A punch hit the tree trunk, Yan Lu's face was ashen: MD, I'm so sick of it!
He retracted his hand stiffly, bowed his head in silence, and was lonely.
I don't know how long it took, Yan Lu suddenly raised his head, the loss on his face disappeared, replaced by blankness.
He looked around and felt that the environment was very unfamiliar, and he had no idea where he was.
"Little mushroom, little mushroom..." Yan Lu looked around for the familiar figure and kept calling his name.
At this moment, a white shadow jumped out of the bushes and danced at Yan Lu.
"Rabbit..." Yan Lu remembered, and Xiao Mushroom told him that if he got lost, he would open the bag hanging around his neck.
Yan Lu took out a piece of silk cloth from the bag, on which was written three good ideas.
He automatically filtered the first two, and as the third said, took out the communication symbol in the storage ring, crushed it, and then squatted in place and waited quietly.
Time passed very slowly, and every moment, Yan Lu's fear deepened, as if he was the only one left in the whole world.
Small mushrooms, small mushrooms, small mushrooms…
After an unknown amount of time, the rustling of leaves suddenly came from his ears, Yan Lu raised his head suddenly, and saw the familiar figure walking towards him.
He rushed over without hesitation and hugged the person tightly.
"Little deer?" Is it fine again? Shang Ke hugged him and gently comforted him.
After he calmed down, Shang Ke said, "Let's see if you still want to be quiet in the future!"
Yan Lu looked puzzled: "Who is Jingjing?"
Shang Ke: "That's a lazy guy who always appears when others are irritable, and who seems to be omnipotent but does nothing."
"Then I definitely don't think about it, I like the omnipotent little mushroom."
Shang Ke: "… "
When he got home in the evening, Shang Ke wiped Yan Lu's back while saying to him, "Xiaolu, no matter what you become, I will stay by your side."
Yan Lu's body froze, and then he only listened to him: "I have become a cripple, and I am afraid that I will not be able to cultivate in the future."
"so what?"
"Not being able to cultivate means that I have to experience the birth, aging, illness and death of mortals, and I have only a few decades of life left. How can I stay with you?"
"Yan Lu, even if this life can only be together for a few decades, we still have the next life. No matter how many times you reincarnate, I will find you. So, don't feel bad, don't give up, as long as the soul is immortal, our fate will be won't stop."
"But, in the next life, I won't remember you. Every day I spend with you is my most precious treasure."
"I'll help you remember, and then create new memories with you."
Yan Lu turned his head and stared at Shang Ke deeply, as if to carve him into his soul.
"Yan Lu, I suddenly had an idea. When we recover from our injuries, we will leave everything here and go outside to travel?"
"Well, listen to you."
A month later, Shang Ke widely distributed invitations and sincerely invited the monks from all over the world to exchange the remaining medicinal herbs and spiritual tools for several thousand silver taels and several low-grade materials for storage space. This price is almost indistinguishable from giving away. Everyone understood that he was expressing gratitude, so they did not refuse, thinking that there would still be opportunities for friendship in the future.
It wasn't until a few months later that everyone discovered that Shang Ke and Yan Lu had left Daying Mountain at some point, and their whereabouts became a mystery.
Not long after, in the town where the mortals gathered, two walking doctors appeared. They were very skilled in medicine. They treated the poor people free of charge, and I don't know how many people's lives were saved.
These two are Shang Ke and Yan Lu. They are home in the four seas, and they travel the world. While looking for ways to rehabilitate, they hang pots to help the world, and use medicine to cultivate virtue. There is no brocade clothing and jade food, and the wind and clouds are all-powerful, only the wind meal and the open air.
Yan Lu, who was high-spirited in the past, has faded his hostility and enjoys life peacefully. Until he grows old, Shang Ke is still as handsome as before, with the same demeanor.
"Little mushroom, I'm sorry." Yan Lu said suddenly while sitting on the boat, looking at the slowly moving mountains in the distance.
"Why are you apologizing?"
"The past life is the result of this life. If I didn't kill too many sins, how could I cause you and me to suffer together?"
"Do you feel bitter?" Shang Ke held the fishing rod in one hand and put the other on his bent knee, looking at him.
Yan Lu was stunned for a moment, recalled his experience in the past few decades, and then smiled: "Well, it's not bitter."
So, don't hurt the spring and mourn the autumn. Shang Ke rolled his eyes and turned his attention to the fish float.
After a while, I heard Yan Lu's old voice again: "Little Mushroom, remember your promise, we will meet in the next life, and..."
I love you.
The sound has now disappeared.
Shang Ke didn't look back, only two lines of tears slowly slipped down his cheeks.
Even though he knew there was still a chance for them to meet, he still couldn't help himself. This man has to experience his death painfully every life, this life is finally his turn...
After Yan Lu died, Shang Ke buried him under a cliff, and then destroyed his cultivation, turned him into a mushroom, and planted it on his grave. The little rabbit became their guardian spirit beast.
Thousands of years later, a new mushroom demon was born, and was taken into the bag by the cunning rabbit early, and an alternative love was achieved...
