Chapter 311 Jinjiang
Taoist Priest Li never thought that he could survive.
A trip to the old Fengdu Hell also confirmed Taoist Li’s thoughts.
He aroused the will to live of all living things in the world, and in the most hopeless dead end, he forcibly carved out a way out, destroying the Ghost Path's ambition to control thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, and greatly reduced the range that the Ghost Path could control. In an instant, only the southwest land was left.
Because the old Fengdu, which carries the ghost path, has been avoiding the main road and living in the southwest, the ghost energy has already penetrated into the earth veins for thousands of years and has firmly grasped this land in its hands.
Even for Taoist Priest Li, it would be difficult to shake the Ghost Sect's control over the southwestern land for the time being.
However, what Taoist Li did was equivalent to cutting off the Ghost Path's path to success when it was about to succeed, making it instantly lose the qualification to compete with the Great Dao.
Therefore, Guidao's hatred for Taoist Priest Li even far exceeded his hatred for Li Chengyun.
The ghost judged that Taoist Li was deeply sinful and threw him into the lowest level of hell, intending to kill Taoist Li and Yan Shixun together.
But what Gui Dao didn't expect was——
The great way of heaven and earth, the ghosts and gods of Fengdu, and all living things.
They all stood behind Yan Shixun.
Apart from ghosts, no other beings are willing to support the ghost path.
No, even many ghosts who died unjustly and could not get revenge resented the ghost way and were willing to help Yan Shixun deal with the old Fengdu.
On the other side of the scale, the weight kept getting heavier.
Yan Shixun shoulders the expectations of the Great Dao and all living things, and turns their hope into strength. When the Ghost Dao has an absolute advantage, he unexpectedly fights back and destroys the old Fengdu.
Being able to witness that scene with his own eyes, Taoist Li felt that he had no regrets.
If I hear the truth in the morning, I can die in the evening.
What's more, it is about saving the road in a crisis.
He was already prepared for death, even for his soul to be torn apart and never to be reincarnated.
But why would Taoist Li be on guard against his favorite junior fellow apprentice?
The next moment after being pushed out of hell by Li Chengyun, after the initial shock, Taoist Li suddenly realized what Li Chengyun wanted to do.
However, he would rather his junior brother kill him than take his junior brother's chance of life!
Taoist Li's eyes were bloodshot, and he desperately reached out to Li Chengyun, wanting to return the chance of life to him.
Unfortunately, it's too late.
The wind was howling, souls were flying away quickly, and a hazy white fog covered everything.
After Taoist Li experienced a long period of weightlessness, he was suddenly shocked and felt as if he had returned to his own body.
The originally light soul was pulled by the body and became heavy, but the soul still trembled and was shivering a little due to the cold body.
Taoist Priest Li: ...What a weird experience this is! Even though I have been to the underworld and ascended to heaven and my soul has left my body to tour the earth, this kind of feeling is really the first time for me.
When he was still muttering in his heart that he should wear more clothes to keep warm, and the temperature of the corpse was too cold for his soul to bear, he heard a low sobbing coming from his ear.
Before Taoist Li could figure it out, he heard someone calling him.
"Uncle Master, Uncle Master! Why did you go?"
"Master Li has passed away, but we must inherit the Dao that Master Li upheld and continue what Master Li has not completed."
"Uncle Master, wuwuwu..."
Taoist Priest Li: …………
"Why are you crying? You're crying so loudly in front of me so early in the morning!"
Taoist Priest Li couldn't help but cursed angrily: "I can finish my own affairs by myself, and you want to inherit? Don't even think about it!"
Everyone: "Wow... Ugh."
Was there any sound just now?
Everyone stopped what they were doing in a daze, with half of the sadness still on their faces, and saw that Taoist Li, who had just passed away in the formation, had opened his eyes again.
Not only that, he looked full of energy, and even when he was scolding people, he was still full of energy, without any sign of the lifeless look he had just shown.
Everyone: …………
???
Even the Taoist priests of Haiyun Temple stood there in a daze, not knowing how to react for a long time.
Even exorcists, and even Haiyun Temple, one of the three largest temples in the country, have never heard of anyone coming back to life from the dead.
The boundary between life and death is absolute. Even if ghosts and gods can send back a person who has just died, that is before the body is cold and the life force is completely gone.
Moreover, this kind of thing only exists in old notebooks and no one has ever seen it with their own eyes.
What's more, in the situation of Taoist Priest Li...
The Taoist priest opened his mouth for a long time and couldn't close it, and he didn't even notice that saliva was flowing out.
Taoist Li, whose soul was frozen by the corpse and gave him a headache, was rubbing his temples to suppress his temper caused by crying, while he saw the demented look of his younger generation.
Taoist Li immediately raised his finger and pointed in disdain: "It's fine if you're just crying, but are you three years old this year? And you're drooling. Even Xingxing, that brat, doesn't drool."
"Why, you have a face full of wrinkles, and I need to prepare a bib for you?"
The Taoist priest who had been scolded suddenly came to his senses, quickly reached out to touch the corner of his mouth, and then blushed embarrassedly.
However, seeing that Taoist Li was full of energy and scolding people as fiercely and ruthlessly as usual, the Taoist priests also became happy.
Even the Taoist priest who was scolded was grinning foolishly.
As a result, Taoist Li glanced at him with disdain: "It's over, you are really stupid. When you go back, you can go back to school with Xingxing. I think you two are not much different in age, and each of you is more hopeless than the other."
The Taoist priest nodded happily: "Okay, okay, okay, whatever you say is fine, as long as you..."
Alive.
No matter how old the Taoist priests are or how much fame they have outside, for them, Taoist Priest Li has been in Haiyun Temple since they were little Taoist children stumbling behind others, and nothing has changed for decades.
To everyone, Taoist Master Li has become the symbol of Haiyun Temple.
With him around, all of them have a place to go back to and seek help. When they step into the gate of Haiyun Temple, they feel protected and at ease.
——That is the symbol of all Taoists.
Taoist Priest Li saw the expressions of the crowd and his expression eased a little. It was until his death that these younger disciples were really scared.
But what about his junior brother, without this life force...
Thinking of Li Chengyun, Taoist Li's eyes dimmed, and there was some sadness between his slightly furrowed brows.
But at the same time, he was also very clear that the chance of resurrection was not something that could be bargained for in the vegetable market.
Although he really wanted to return it to his junior brother, there was nothing he could do now that things had come to this.
Li Chengyun must have endured countless pains and saved countless lives to have such an opportunity. Only then did the avenue give Li Chengyun the power to choose.
There won't be a second time.
Taoist Priest Li sat in the formation for a while before looking up and sighing deeply, knowing that he might never see his junior fellow apprentice again.
In the old Fengdu, heaven and earth were merciful in giving them the opportunity to meet each other. After he missed the death of his junior brother, he had a chance to make up for it and see him for the last time.
Taoist Priest Li closed his eyes, hiding all his pain and brief vulnerability in front of the younger generation.
When he lifted his Taoist robe and stood up, he was once again the respected old Taoist priest with a firm look in his eyes, and nothing could overwhelm him.
Taoist Priest Li took a quick look and found that there were many more people here than when he died. In addition to Taoist Priest Ma, there were also the members of the program team who had disappeared before.
The most important thing is that the atmosphere in the deserted village has changed.
Although Yan Shixun destroyed the core of the old Fengdu, the decline and even extinction of the ghost way was an inevitable outcome, but the old Fengdu had been cultivated in the southwest for a thousand years after all, especially the Baizhi Lake in the most core area. It would take some time to completely get rid of the ghost way.
Taoist Priest Li was unable to calculate, so he could only wave his hand and call another Taoist priest over to ask for clarification.
When he heard that Taoist Priest Wang and the other Taoist Priest were left in another space and did not have time to come over through the formation, Taoist Priest Li frowned.
But before Master Li could say anything, a staff member of the program team saw that he seemed to want to pick up the two Taoist priests, and immediately interrupted him unhappily, saying: "Didn't the Taoist priest stay voluntarily? It would be a waste of time to go back and save him now, it would be better to send us away quickly."
As soon as these words were spoken, almost all the Taoist priests frowned with discomfort.
They can sacrifice their lives to protect lives, and they have no resentment about this, but only the happiness of martyrdom.
But this does not mean that others can point at them and say that they should die.
For some things, there is a huge difference between doing something voluntarily and being taken for granted.
Taoist Priest Ma thought the voice sounded familiar, and when he looked up, he immediately understood.
It was the staff member whose proposal was rejected before.
Maybe he was unhappy about being criticized by the Taoist priest, so he felt resentful.
Taoist Master Ma suddenly felt bored, so he just smiled and put it behind his mind, then continued to explain the situation to Taoist Master Li.
However, the assistant director, Bai Shuang and others all looked at the staff member openly or secretly with dissatisfaction in their eyes.
In the eyes of the variety show star, it was obvious that "Look, this is idiot".
The staff member still stiffened his neck, thinking that what he said was right. But the assistant director had secretly made a note of this person and decided to terminate the cooperation when he returned.
The assistant director was very clear about one thing, that is - he had to repay the favor of having his life saved.
In this business, anyone who is ungrateful is destined to go nowhere. He doesn't dare to employ such a person, as he might be stabbed in the back at any time. It is better to break up peacefully as soon as possible.
The staff member didn't know yet that his resentment would backfire on him.
But others have turned their attention elsewhere.
After learning that there was another Taoist priest beside Taoist priest Wang, Taoist Priest Li felt relieved and said calmly: "Since I am already a teacher, I naturally have to set an example for my disciple. He can save himself, and I don't need to do anything."
“Indeed…”
Taoist Priest Li seemed to sense something.
His heartbeat was slowly lengthening. His soul, which had just returned to his body, had not yet been connected, but it was floating upwards again, shoulder to shoulder with the clouds in the sky, with the vast land beneath his feet.
Taoist Master Li, who was very experienced in this regard, soon realized that this was another time he had gained enlightenment about the heaven and earth.
Only this time, what he saw was not the future.
But now.
——Lu Xingxing is burning in the flames.
The young man had blood in his mouth and his face was pale. He no longer had the high spirits and liveliness that Taoist Li was familiar with. All that was left was the bleakness and pain of dying.
The child was crying and trembling.
Taoist Priest Li was stunned and murmured in a low voice: "Stars..."
…
When Yan Shixun broke free from Ye Li's arms, it took him some time to get rid of the redness on his cheeks and ears.
But even so, his usually unruly and handsome face still had an uncontrollable smile on it, and there was a little blush at the corners of his eyes, which showed that he was in a good mood, perhaps he had just experienced something.
However, compared with Ye Li, Yan Shixun can be considered restrained.
Ye Li's face was still pale and bloodless, but when he looked at Yan Shixun, spring water streams rippled in his eyes, and his love could not be concealed.
Even the most obtuse stranger would understand that the person standing in front of him is the lover who is engraved in his soul.
Ye Li's gaze was too aggressive. As he swept down Yan Shixun's body inch by inch, it seemed as if he could see underneath through the black coat.
Yan Shixun naturally noticed the gaze with such a strong presence.
He turned his eyes and glanced at Ye Li, feeling his cheeks gradually losing temperature in the wind, and sneered, "What are you looking at? Why don't you come to work?"
Ye Li did not feel uncomfortable at all for being caught red-handed. Instead, he nodded to Yan Shixun and said with a smile, "Look at the beauty."
"I saw the most beautiful soul in the world, but what is even more fortunate is that he is the lover I already hold in my arms."
Ye Li rolled the syllables between his lips and teeth, and then slowly uttered: "Shi Xun."
His magnetic voice is low and smiling, as rich as mellow wine.
Yan Shixun was caught off guard by the call and suddenly felt his ears, which were hidden by his hair, becoming warm again.
Li Chengyun watched the two of them with a smile from a distance. After Yan Shixun calmed down a little, he walked over leisurely.
He knew his own Xiaoxun and how insensitive this child was to emotions. He had no taboos in other matters and could persevere in any difficult situation, but he was completely clueless when it came to emotions.
When Li Chengyun saw Yan Shixun's state in front of Ye Li, he understood in his heart that his little Xun really had feelings for the Lord of Fengdu.
It seems that the Lord of Fengdu has also done a lot of things... It's not easy.
Li Chengyun glanced at Ye Li with a smile. Ye Li also noticed it, turned sideways towards Li Chengyun and bowed slightly to greet him.
"It seems you have made a lot of efforts to make my Xiaoxun realize his feelings. Thank you for your hard work."
Li Chengyun stopped not far from Ye Li and said softly in a gentle voice, "Before I died, I was always worried that after I died, Xiaoxun would be lonely because he was not willing to accept others easily. He would have friends around him... Now, I can finally put my mind at ease."
Ye Li's tall figure paused, he lowered his head slightly, pursed his lips, and said: "It's not hard. Every minute and every second that I can pursue Shi Xun is a beautiful memory of mine, which makes me feel the happiness of the world from the bottom of my heart."
"It's just that you..."
Ye Li looked at Li Chengyun apologetically: "I can't save you."
Even ghosts and gods were helpless against Li Chengyun, who had been dead for many years and had voluntarily given up the chance to return to the human world.
Ye Li knew how important Li Chengyun was to Yan Shixun. Even though he would be unhappy and feel that Yan Shixun did not care about him, he would not let Li Chengyun leave.
But……
When Li Chengyun rescued Taoist Li, the outcome was already a foregone conclusion.
Heaven and earth will not allow a second miracle of resurrection from the dead.
Li Chengyun understood what Ye Li meant, but he just shook his head slowly and asked him softly: "Lord of Fengdu, do you think I care?"
"Now, the Great Dao has regained its power, and the world has returned to peace. The only person I care about is Xiao Xun."
Li Chengyun looked at Yan Shixun's back with deep concern and nostalgia in his eyes.
The child who was still young when he left has grown to the point where he is capable of supporting the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and is even better than him.
Li Chengyun smiled softly, his eyes gentle: "I hope he is well, I hope he can live a happy life, have someone to accompany him, so that he will never be lonely, and will not be alone and indifferent."
Upon hearing this, Ye Li was silent for a moment, then looked up at Yan Shixun.
Deep love in his eyes made him smile, and he solemnly promised Li Chengyun: "Please rest assured, I will make Shi Xun happy, until the world collapses and the universe is annihilated into dust."
"Love never ends."
"In the name of Yeli, Fengdu heaven and earth bear witness."
Li Chengyun blinked his eyes and laughed softly: "You should say this to Xiaoxun, not to me. Ghosts and gods know everything in the world, how come they can't even chase their lover and need me to teach them personally?"
"I know my Xiaoxun. He is very sensitive to other things. He can dig out a hundred or eighty secrets. The only difference is his feelings."
He shrugged. "If you don't tell him directly, he won't realize what you are talking about."
Ye Li smiled as if he was not surprised: "I have known this for a long time."
Li Chengyun raised his eyes to look at Ye Li, smiled and nodded slightly: "Then... my Xiaoxun will be handed over to you from now on."
"The Lord of Fengdu, Yeli."
Ye Li bowed slightly, his tone more solemn than when facing the avenue: "Thank you."
As for Yan Shixun, he had already jumped into the abyss, ready to check the condition of the remains of the giant beast.
But suddenly he sneezed and looked up as if he realized something.
Yan Shixun: “?”
