In this era where immortals are respected, saints are emperors, and evil spirits are rampant, as a loose immortal, Tang Qing feels a lot of pressure. Ordinary practitioners only need to practice with peace of mind and comprehend calmly. You can welcome the coming of the Nine Heavens Immortal Tribulation, and you will become an immortal if you cross it, otherwise you will disappear. This is also the so-called success or benevolence.
If God gave Tang Qing another chance, after he failed to overcome the catastrophe, he would just drift away and turn into dust. He, who has always been my boss and second child, felt broken at one point.
Because you don't know when the Heavenly Tribulation that belongs to Sanxian will suddenly come, maybe when you hook up with a girl, maybe when you have sex, or when you calmly comprehend a skill, that damned Heavenly Tribulation will quietly The arrival without interest, and the Heavenly Tribulation belonging to the Sanxian, is many times more terrifying than the Nine Heavens Immortal Tribulation.
If that's the case, it won't make Tang Qing feel overwhelmed. What makes him crazy is that after going through the first calamity, the second calamity, the third calamity, the fourth calamity, the fifth calamity, the sixth calamity, The seventh level, the eighth level... You don't know how many catastrophes you have to go through before it ends. It's like a dark road with no end at all.
"The ninth level... When will I be the leader!"
Since ancient times, there have been quite a few people who have become loose immortals, but without exception, almost all of them died in the catastrophe. It has never been heard of anyone who can bring the road of no return to loose immortals to an end. Tang Qing has successfully passed through the ninth catastrophe. Before every time he crossed the catastrophe, he always had strong expectations, but after every time he passed the catastrophe, he returned with despair.
Expectation and despair, so repeated, Tang Qing has experienced it nine times.
"well!"
He sighed helplessly. Now, all he can have is helplessness. He shook his head and lifted a fairly bright spar in his hand. Before the end of the deep pit, there was another sigh, bowed his body, and changed his posture, with his back against the uneven mud wall, his feet staring hard at the opposite stone, using this to support the almost collapsed After resting for a while, he began to hold a rough stone in his hand and continue digging upwards.
Tang Qing still clearly remembered that his consciousness gradually disappeared after passing through the ninth catastrophe. When he woke up again, he found that he was buried underground, but this was expected, because the ninth catastrophe was really It is extremely terrifying. The cave he created with his whole life is like an ant in front of the ninth catastrophe. It is completely vulnerable. Just thinking about it, I still have lingering fears until now. I can go through it smoothly and wake up alive. To be honest, He himself felt a little surprised.
Since the Heavenly Tribulation belonging to the Sanxian is extremely terrifying, and it is perverted one by one, every time Tang Qing passes through smoothly, his physical body will be severely injured. This time it is even more serious. Lost, I don't know how to recover in the year of the monkey.
Tang Qing is not worried about losing his cultivation base. For an old fritter like him who has survived the Nine Tribulations, as long as he is given time, it is not difficult to recover his cultivation base. There is no interest in being strong or weak, so what's the use of being strong? In the end, don't you have to cross the catastrophe? What can I do if I pass through, I can't become a fairy, I have to prepare for the next time I cross the catastrophe.
Overcoming calamity, recovering, cultivating, overcoming calamity again, recovering again, cultivating again, overcoming calamity again, repeating this...
Enough is enough, Tang Qing really thinks enough is enough. Thinking about it carefully, since he set foot on the road of Sanxian, he has been practicing every day and trying to improve his cultivation every day, for fear of an accidental catastrophe. After living for such a long time, Tang Qing realized that he hadn't even enjoyed a good day. These years, he didn't live for himself at all, but for the goddamn catastrophe.
This time Tang Qing thought about it, whether the love of Heaven's Tribulation will come or not, if it comes, I will cross the Tribulation, but if I can't survive it, I don't want to go on like this again.
"Gululu..."
A strong sense of hunger and fatigue swept over every inch of Tang Qing's skin, so that his whole body was weak and his limbs were weak. After persisting for a while, he was already dizzy, and the underground air could not circulate. Coupled with the endless digging, Tang Qing's physical body has already been overdrawn, and if it wasn't for the body of the Nine-Level Loose Immortal, he might have died here. Just when he was at a loss, he suddenly noticed something strange, the soil above was obviously different from the one just now.
"Could it be..."
Tang Qing's heart skipped a beat, and regardless of the pain all over his body, he increased his efforts and started digging crazily. When he held the sharp stone and pierced through the last layer of soil mixture, a light that was not strong shone in, but pierced the ground. His eyes were sore, and he almost fell down.
He didn't dare to open his eyes immediately, but greedily breathed in the fresh air from the fist-sized hole above him. At this moment, Tang Qing felt as if he had come back from the dead, which was even more dripping than the brewing of the drinking fairy back then. Carefree, when the feeling was about the same, he dug the hole directly in one go, and climbed out with the last bit of strength.
"Damn suffering..."
This feeling of complete collapse made him feel dizzy, lying on the ground gasping for breath, and after a long while, he shook his head, stood up unsteadily, looked around and found himself standing in a barren ruins, looking into the distance. In the distance, there are gullies everywhere, deep pits everywhere, and rugged mountains everywhere. No matter whether it is a gully or a deep pit, as well as the mountains, they are all bare and barren.
"It seems that the ninth catastrophe is much more terrifying than I imagined. It not only destroyed Lao Tzu's cave, but also destroyed the land with a radius of a hundred miles."
Tang Qing shook his head, and dragged his frail body forward step by step. He didn't know how long he had walked. During this time, he found a strange thing. Every once in a while, a corpse was found, and some of them had been dead for many days. It became a pile of bones, and some died not long ago. There were obvious scars on these bones, and it seemed that they had been killed artificially.
I just don't know what happened here after Lao Tzu crossed the catastrophe, how could so many people die here
Since his clothes were blasted to pieces during the robbery, he was completely naked at the moment, so he could only take off some clothes from some corpses and wear them on his body. Although the smell was a bit unpleasant, he could only wear them casually Now, I picked up a yellow flag from the ground. On the yellow flag, there are two large characters of divine calculation, and on both sides are written, deriving formations, saving lives and healing wounds, curing miscellaneous diseases, learning treasures...
"I don't know who owns this thing, I know quite a lot."
Tang Qing wandered aimlessly with his yellow flag on like this, jumped over a ravine, crossed a mountain range, and finally saw a big living person.
To be more precise, it is a woman. This woman is wearing a strong dress and a ponytail. She does not wear half a smear of makeup on her face, but she is flawless and glamorous. She wears a bright red cloak behind her, showing her heroic appearance. In front of the woman was a carriage, but the horse was lying on the ground at the moment, with its head resting on the ground and its eyes half-opened and half-closed.
"Grandma is serving you delicious food and drink at home, but you are lazy for me! How unreasonable!"
The woman frowned and scolded the horse angrily, as if she noticed a guy walking towards this side, she turned around and looked at Tang Qing, and shouted, "Damn god stick, what are you looking at!"
Tang Qing originally wanted to meet a savior, but he found that this girl's mood is extremely unstable now, and her temper seems to be quite irritable. The body of Jie Sanxian is not in danger of life, after all, the physical body is still very weak, it is not suitable to do it, and he can see that this girl's cultivation is not weak.
We can't afford it, let's hide.
I never thought that just as I was about to leave, there was a stern voice behind me.
"Hey! God stick, stop for me!"
Tang Qing stopped immediately, otherwise what could he do if he lost his cultivation base? Turning around, pointing to himself, "Call me?"
"Didn't I tell you that I was talking to a ghost?" The woman gave Tang Qing a blank look, and said angrily, "Is there anyone else here besides you?"
"what's the matter?"
"Your banner says to save lives and heal the wounded, cure miscellaneous diseases, come and see if my horse has any illnesses." The woman in strong clothes looks very disgusted by Tang Qing, a charlatan, but now it seems that she can only suffer from sudden illness. The doctor said, "If you can make my horse stand up, I will give you three spirit stones."
This girl is not a fuel-efficient lamp at first glance, Tang Qing didn't want to provoke him, but he was really exhausted, his whole body was limp, he sat on the ground and didn't even want to move, he pondered for a moment, and said, "I'll help you treat it." Good horse, Lingshi will be free, but you have to agree to give me a ride."
"Yo!" The woman didn't seem to expect that this magic stick didn't want spirit stones, she laughed and said, "As long as you can cure my horse, it doesn't matter if I give you a ride."
Tang Qing stopped talking, and walked over to look at the horse carefully. He has gone through nine catastrophes and has extraordinary knowledge. He can tell at a glance that this horse is a top-notch horse. It is tall, red and black, and has long hair. If the guess is correct, it should be the Black Flame Horse. This kind of steed gallops, with its hair flying wildly like a flame burning.
"Your black flame horse is not sick."
Hearing this, the woman couldn't help being taken aback, surprise flashed in her eyes, "You can recognize this black flame horse? It has pretty good eyesight." Then she suddenly reacted and said, "Since it is not sick, why is it not sick all of a sudden? ran away?"
"Is this the first time it has traveled far?"
"Huh? I didn't expect that you, a magic stick, have some skills!" The woman was really surprised, "My horse has been kept in captivity since it was born, and this is the first time I have traveled far away with me."
"That's it, it's a little homesick."
"Homesick?" It was the first time the woman had heard that Ma'er was still homesick, and she asked with great interest, "Then what should I do?"
"It should be fine if I come to comfort him."
"Comfort? How to comfort?" The woman was very curious.
Tang Qing knelt down, stroked the horse's hair, and said, "Ma'er, I know you miss home."
"Haha! That's funny, are you just going to comfort it like this? It's just a horse, how could it understand what you say?" The woman laughed, but when she was laughing happily, she saw the horse lying on the ground move. After moving, the head also raised up, and a pair of bell-sized eyes looked at Tang Qing, as if meeting a confidant.
"this… "
The woman didn't hear Tang Qing speak again, but she saw Tang Qing's mouth moving, as if he was muttering something silently, and seemed to be communicating with the horse. When the woman was puzzled, a scene that she couldn't believe happened happened. The originally sluggish horse stood up immediately, full of energy, raised its head, grinned and roared, and when the horse neighed, it was deafening.
"You... what did you say to it, how can the horse understand you? Could it be that you..." The woman seemed to suddenly realize something, and blurted out, "Do you know the art of psychic beast control?"
"Let's understand a little bit, let's eat!" Tang Qing shook the yellow flag in his hand, "I don't have any real skills, do we dare to carry this yellow flag!"
The woman looked at Tang Qing again, and there was less contempt in her eyes, and more curiosity, because she knew that the art of psychic beast control was very complicated and rare. She had always wanted to learn it, but she had no chance. She was really surprised to meet a quack master who actually knew such weird things as psychic and beast control.
"The horse is completely healed. You said that you would give me a ride. You won't make a mistake, right?"
Responding from surprise, the woman shrugged nonchalantly when she heard Tang Qing say this, and said, "Since I, Shangguan Ling, promised you, how could I slip up and give you a ride as soon as I give you a ride, what's so great about it."
