Early autumn, by the river.
The old Taoist smiled and said, "Fellow Taoist, do you really think you don't recognize me?"
Xia Jijie thought about it for a long time and asked doubtfully: "Could it be fellow Taoist Lanshanzi? You and I have changed so much after twenty years of separation?"
The old Taoist was silent for a moment, then suddenly understood, and couldn't help laughing.
"Fellow Taoist, don't worry. Just follow me. Let's make an agreement first and say we won't take action today."
Xia Ji continued to talk casually: "Then you must be fellow Taoist Queshanzi..."
The old Taoist smiled and nodded: "Yes, the poor Taoist is Queshanzi, so I am acquainted with my fellow Taoist. Let's go."
Xia Ji knew there was no point in pretending. He already recognized the person in front of him. After all, he had fought to the death before, how could he not recognize him
Su Tian said that the first body can be molded into the second body. The ancestor of the Lu family did mold the second body, but actually changed his gender, from a slim and beautiful Taoist nun to an old Taoist priest with an immortal air.
Moreover, this old Taoist priest is most likely the Taoist ancestor enshrined in many ancestral halls today.
It is said that the Master helped the world and saved the people, quelled wars, compiled thousands of Dharma scrolls and a lot of knowledge, and educated the world.
Then this Dao Ancestor traveled all over the world, went to the North alone, and sat outside the Land of Fire Tribulation for fifty years. In this way, he protected a large number of Middle-earth elites, making the survival rate and breakthrough rate at that time unprecedentedly high.
Not only that, it has become a tradition for this strong man to sit on the periphery of the Fire Tribulation, and it is now passed down from generation to generation.
In addition, Daozu even held a sermon in the north. Now it has become a thing of the past. Everyone just thought that Daozu died in the disaster and ascended to the immortal world. Feeling his merits, they built an ancestral hall and worshiped him with incense. .
The Master wrote books to educate all peoples.
Taozu, on the other hand, went out in person, taught by words and deeds, and had disciples all over the world.
In this era when gods and Buddhas are just rumors, both Master and Taoist ancestors are like the gods of the new era and enjoy a lot of incense.
The two of them walked along the riverside together.
The once life-and-death enemies are now side by side.
In early autumn and September, the river is surging and flowing eastwards.
There are few people on the embankment, and since it is close to the official road, there is no need to worry about bandits coming out of the poor mountains and rivers.
The ancestor of the Lu family said: "The reason why I recognized fellow Taoists from the north and south is because they have wonderful auras about them."
Xia Ji was silent.
The ancestor of the Lu family continued: "Today, I will not ask why Taoist friends from the north and south are alive, nor what Taoist friends have done in these years, let alone Taoist friends' other secrets, and I will not even tell anyone that I have met Taoist friends, nor will I tell anyone that I have met Taoist friends. I won’t tell anyone that Taoist friend is alive… Today, I just came to return a favor and have something to worry about.”
Xia Ji listened quietly.
The ancestor of the Lu family said: "At the end of ancient times, the most powerful person was actually a great power named Taishang, and Pindao once went with this great power to the extremely distant outer star realm. Miao Miao is where Old Tao came from I brought her back, but she was not Miaomiao at that time."
The ancestor of the Lu family sighed softly, "Later, I sent her to the stage of reincarnation and sent her to the realm of heaven and humanity. It took her more than three thousand years to reincarnate from a white lotus. I told the head of the Lu family to conceal the secret and let her He claimed she was his daughter.
…
Taoist friends must really want to know what she is
…
She is the fruit.
And fellow Taoist should be the reason.
…
When I wanted to marry a fellow Taoist, the reasons I gave were all false. The real reason was that I vaguely felt the connection between her and the fellow Taoist, but I couldn't confirm it.
Later, when my Taoist friend was about to die, I was sure that he was not a Taoist friend, so I asked for Miaomiao back.
However, this fact slapped Lao Dao in the face and proved that Lao Dao was wrong.
Taoist friends are indeed the cause of Miaomiao, and Miaomiao is the effect of fellow Taoists.
Miaomiao has been waiting for Taoist friends in the depths of the universe for who knows how many years, and now they can finally meet each other, which is great. "
Xia Ji said: "Then what does the Miaomiao mentioned by my friend have to do with the Supreme Being?"
The ancestor of the Lu family stopped, looked at him and said slowly: "She was transformed from part of the Tao Fruit of the Supreme Being, and can also be said to be the Supreme Supreme Being's daughter."
He paused and continued: "But that's not entirely true, because Miaomiao has at least three wills hidden in her body, and one of them is Taishang."
"Where are the other two?"
"One is a fellow Taoist, and the other is a poor Taoist who can only vaguely notice it, but doesn't know clearly."
“…”
"Since there is a platform for reincarnation in the world, where can there be no matter of samadhi?"
"Although I don't know Miss Miaomiao, does Fellow Taoist mean to say that Miss Miaomiao and I had a marriage in my previous life?"
"No." The ancestor of the Lu family shook his head, "The old Taoist doesn't know how many lifetimes her marriage with her Taoist friend will last from this life, and he won't ask about it anymore, because the old Taoist owes his Majesty a favor, so Then he told his friend exactly what happened and helped his daughter find a Taoist friend, which is how he concluded the favor."
"etc… "
"Do you have anything else to do, fellow Taoist?"
Xia Ji hesitated for a moment and said softly: "Miaomiao is unable to practice and is getting weaker and weaker. She seems to be running out of life. Is there anything you can do, fellow Taoist?"
The ancestor of the Lu family thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "No."
"Why not?"
“She is the fruit, and the fruit is determined and cannot be changed.
One era and one marriage,
Even if she dies in this era, she is destined to meet Taoist friends, fall in love with Taoist friends, and grow old together with them in the next era. "
"But she's not her anymore."
"she is."
"No memory, still?"
"She won't change. Fellow Taoists will understand it when they see it, but the memory... the old Taoist doesn't know it either.
Maybe there is, maybe there is not, maybe it will be there only at a certain time.
This kind of mysterious and mysterious marriage, the Taoist Taoist has only seen and heard about this one for thousands of years. "
"What if I must save her?"
"it's useless."
"What if... I let her return to the Lu family?"
"Fellow Taoist, you don't understand what I mean." The ancestor of the Lu family said, "Perhaps you and I have been enemies in the past and will still be enemies in the future, but I am not lying to you at this time, because only when I tell you these things can I be regarded as a Taoist. It’s all over.”
Xia Ji asked in a deep voice: "Why can't it change?"
The ancestor of the Lu family was stunned for a moment and said: "Fellow Taoist really loves Miaomiao very much, Shan... The old Taoist has to say something, because fellow Taoist... is not Heaven."
Xia Ji knew what he meant by heaven.
The ancestor of the Lu family continued: "Today I am honest with my fellow Taoist, and I am not trying to trick you. I am just telling you clearly that the Supreme Being wants to be in heaven, but after joining the Tao, his soul is completely gone.
He had a premonition before joining the Tao, but it was already too late.
You are not Heaven, and no one can become Heaven. The highest place you can climb is Heaven’s dinner plate and become one of His delicacies.
That's all... Say goodbye today and just pretend that you and I have never met. "
After saying that, the ancestor of the Lu family waved his sleeves and left.
A voice came from behind Him.
"Is there nothing you can do?"
The old Taoist priest paused for a moment, but did not answer again. Instead, he gradually moved away until Xia Ji was alone on the entire embankment.
He looked at the rolling waves of the river, covered his hands, and the river stopped flowing.
Turning his hand, the river made waves tens of feet high.
The waves turned into showers and fell from the sky, causing exclamations in the distance.
Xia Ji let the waves wet his body.
What's the use
Even the most beloved woman cannot be protected.
What is the use of this magical power?
It was difficult for him to suspect that the ancestor of the Lu family had lied, and he would rather believe that what he told was a lie.
but…
He bought supplies, and the streets were full of people shouting "Qinghe Sect is recruiting people", "The Immortal from Yunfeng Sect will come down the mountain today", "I wonder if the Immortal will like my child", "Yong'er must perform well" and so on if…
This era is no longer his era.
This was an era when the sect gradually stood above the secular world.
And the ancestors, it seems, will not stop it, because this is destined to be the general trend.
…
…
Xia Ji returned to paradise.
The sky is just right and the light is shining in the courtyard.
Miaomiao was holding a little rabbit, lazily closing her eyes and basking in the sun on the rocking chair.
She strokes the little rabbit from time to time, and the little rabbit seems to like being stroked by her, which shows that she has a good way of doing it.
Suddenly, the rabbit's red eyes rolled up and its plump body twisted.
Miaomiao looked up at the man in front of the courtyard and smiled brightly: "You're back."
She spoke very calmly, just like in the past hundreds of years, she said "eat", "go to bed early", "let's go for a walk", "good morning", "good noon", "good evening" ,"Good night"…
Nothing special, just ordinary.
It's so ordinary that it can cut one's heart.
Xia Ji finally determined that she must be Guo, and only the power of Guo could shake his heart from the fundamental level, and tempt a person like him who should have seen through everything long ago and who is aloof from the world of mortals.
When Miaomiao saw her silent husband, she bent down and dropped the rabbit. The rabbit jumped and ran to the foot of the tree.
Miaomiao walked up to Xia Ji, took his hand, and gently grinded her teeth like a little rabbit, and then laughed in a sharp voice: "Why is my husband unhappy?"
Rabbit under the tree:! ! !
Then, he also made a screeching sound like a kitten.
Miao Miao then started making louder noises than the rabbit.
The rabbit immediately became frightened, but stared at Miaomiao curiously. After a while, it ran over with pout and looked up at Miaomiao.
Xia Ji looked at the woman in front of him.
Maybe he didn't meet her in the first place.
But after meeting her, they have been together for hundreds of years.
This should be the person I love the most.
Miaomiao stroked his face with both hands, then slapped his chin, "What's wrong, I rarely see you like this.
By the way, I read your later books and wrote a few more, you can check them out. "
"I won't watch anymore."
"Um?"
"I'll see you today."
"I have seen something good for hundreds of years." Miaomiao twisted her body and pretended to be shy.
With a thought in his mind, Xia Ji summoned the Great Dark Sky Halberd.
This halberd has already opened up its spiritual wisdom, and is now a serious magic weapon.
The black halberd fell.
Xia Ji stood up holding Miaomiao in his arms.
The black halberd floated into the air again, heading towards the sky, piercing through the endless wind and clouds, shattering the sunshine, and the vast expanse of blue waves, like many golden dragons dancing wildly in the water...
Xia Ji asked: "Is it beautiful?"
Miaomiao said with a bitter face: "I can't stand firmly~~~Oops~~Get down quickly, I'm afraid of heights."
Xia Ji:…
He landed on the ground, took out the many flying swords obtained by Fangzhang Shan, tied them into a sword raft, and then said: "This will make it stable."
Miaomiao made a sound and took a closer look.
Xia Ji understood that it was still crude, so he made a flying chariot by hand based on the flying sword.
Miaomiao carefully sat in. She knew that her husband was very capable.
Just after entering the chariot, she poked her face out, made a face, and waved her hand: "Master, come in together. Where are you taking me?"
Xia Ji had already tried every possible panacea, heavenly spirit and earthly treasure on Miaomiao, but to no avail.
His medical attainments are also very high now, but it is still useless.
I drew a hundred and a thousand talismans, but it was useless.
Therefore, he smiled and said: "I have read books for hundreds of years, but I don't want to read anymore. I will accompany you."
"No~~Okay~~" Miaomiao pushed him, "Don't drag down your practice."
Xia Ji smiled and said, "Do you really know my practice?"
"Anyway, it's just very powerful. I don't know how powerful it is specifically."
"Then let me let you know... Well, if you travel on the sea, what do you want to see?"
Miaomiao thought for a moment, raised her hand and said, "You can eat fish and shrimp as you like."
"good."
With a thought in Xia Ji's mind, the flying chariot took off, flew out of the triple reef of paradise, and flew to the blue sea.
He clapped his hands, and all the fish and shrimps emerged from the water and floated into the sky, surrounded by the flying chariot driven by a mysterious power.
"Wow~~"
The further the chariot flies, the more fish and shrimps float in the air.
more and more.
There are even various strange fish, including sharks.
Regardless of consumption, Xia Ji lifted more and more fish and shrimps from the bottom of the sea.
These confused fish and shrimps moved forward together with the flying chariot, forming a spectacular and epic scene.
Xia Ji said: "Whatever you want to eat, just point."
Lu Miaomiao sat in the flying chariot, looked out, pointed at the big lobster: "That one."
Xia Ji hooked his hand, and the big lobster full of confusion flew over, and soon turned into a lobster barbecue sprinkled with spices.
Lu Miaomiao ate it with relish and pointed at the black sea fish.
Black sea fish:! ! !
Xia Ji hooked his hand, and soon there was another grilled fish.
There are more and more fish and shrimps around the two people, covering dozens of miles in front and back.
And the number is still increasing, and even many uncommon deep-sea fish that cannot see the light have been caught.
Miaomiao said: "No, no, no, are you tired?"
Xia Ji said gently: "I'm not tired."
"Are you really not tired?"
"Not tired at all."
"Bragging! It's obviously very tiring!" Miao Miao held her chin, smiling, "But... I like this kind of husband the most."
Time and images, if frozen.
The freeze has finally passed.
With a snap of the fingers, an eternity of "year" passes by.
However, this year is already the end of the fire tribulation.
…
…
Black clouds covered the sun, the wind was blowing wildly, the grass was as long as knives, and heavy raindrops fell from the sky, hitting the man's clothes hard, and his face was like a thousand arrows, but he didn't realize it.
He could easily keep the rain off his clothes, and he could even call for wind and rain, and breathe out mist, but he was still soaked all over and endured the beating of the rain.
His face was expressionless, his black hair was blown up by the strong wind, and the rainwater was blown away drop by drop from the outline of his face.
He leaned forward slightly and ran his fingers over the profound tombstone on the tomb, as if caressing his lover's face.
Feng Chuixue, Xia Ji, Xu Lingling, Pang Yi, Chu Shiyun, and many other men and women looked at the man in the rain.
No one had ever seen him like this.
No one would have thought that he would have such a side.
In the eyes of the world, he is the Master, the Black Emperor, and the Shenwu King.
In the eyes of Feng Chuixue, Xu Lingling and Pang Yi, he was calm and calm, a teacher who could hold up with one hand even if the sky fell.
In the eyes of Pang Yi's descendants, this person is a myth among myths, a transcendent being, a supreme existence that breaks through the world of mortals.
However, it happened that such a person was caught in the rain.
Xia Ji stood there for seven days and seven nights. The juniors had gone back early, and Feng Chuixue and others were always with him.
At dawn on the seventh day, a hoarse voice came.
"Pang Yi, every Qingming Festival, remember to sweep the tomb and don't let anyone disturb this place."
"Yes, teacher!! Pang Yi will protect this place for the rest of his life."
"Chuixue, Lingling, Xia Ji, if you want to go back to China, then go back..."
"Teacher, you..."
Xia Ji grabbed a jar of wine from his arms and drank it empty.
I haven’t drank in hundreds of years…
He smiled with red eyes: "It's nothing, the time is almost up."
After saying this incomprehensible words, he grabbed the wine jar and stepped towards the sky. He stepped on the void and gradually disappeared from sight.
