One was the Emperor of Beiji Ziwei who came with a beautiful girl.

One is that the Jade Emperor came down to earth in person, bringing with him many treasures.

Good, good, good!

Good good good!!!

We agreed to take care of the internal affairs of our brothers, but you two are looking for external help, right?!

Jade Emperor! Northern Emperor! Gifts!

He even used the fucking seduce, money, and beauty trick, right?!

shameless!

You two have brought disgrace upon the Taoist sect. You are willing to do all these things just to establish a good relationship with my junior brother!

Don’t think that I don’t have anything!

Daoye, I also have foreign aid in my family...

Master Xuandu was furious. He sneered and looked around. Then his thoughts paused. The arrogant smile on his face froze. He looked at his own Taoist temple. Apart from the elixirs, it could be said that he was penniless. However, he had just given the "Taishang Dan Jue" to the little guy. Although these things could be given away, they were really -

Some of them are not presentable.

Then find someone who can go with you, who has a higher status and can be compared with the God.

There is even less.

Xuandu, the mother Nuwa, has passed away.

My uncle Fuxi.

Xuan Du personally added the last shovel of soil and compacted it.

Not to mention that he has become scum, even if he is still alive in the end, Xuandu will not recognize him - but after thinking about it at this moment, the only one who can suppress the Jade Emperor and the Northern Emperor is the teacher. Even if he is as powerful as the Northern Emperor, the Jade Emperor will have to show respect when he sees the teacher in the future.

However, the two uncles had not shown up yet, and nothing had happened, so the teacher had to step in personally.

Isn't it a huge loss of face? !

No, no—

Taiyi, Tianpeng, you two are truly too despicable!

boom!!!

As the great wizard's emotions fluctuated, the Six Ding Divine Fire under the Purple Gold Bagua Furnace shook violently, causing the medicinal properties of the elixir that they planned to refine today to become unstable. The faces of the several boys were frightened and turned pale. This thing is a top-notch divine fire. What if it explodes here?

"Grand Mage, Grand Mage!"

"The alchemy furnace! The alchemy furnace is going to explode!"

“It’s going to explode!”

"Noisy!"

Master Xuandu shouted loudly, and directly seized the purple gold Bagua furnace with his backhand. The flames and medicinal power inside were suppressed together. He suppressed it with unparalleled power and turned it into a pill. This time, Master Xuandu directly used his own great magic power to forcibly solidify the medicinal power. He glanced at the two suppressed little Taoists and said proudly:

"How could the furnace explode when I was refining the elixir?"

"nonsense!"

"Hmph... Since I can't find anyone, I'll have to add a few more gifts. You two, look at this Zifu Xuandu Temple. It's just right. Considering that Xuanwei has completely entered the door, the Purple Gold Bagua Furnace is mine, and he should have one too..." Master Xuandu muttered to himself, and casually wiped his eyes with two faint lights, and he saw the two teams of Beiji Ziwei Emperor and Taiyi from afar.

Humph, the gift that Beidi brought is big enough!

I never thought that the Jade Emperor is even more precious!

Humph, Tianpeng, Taiyi.

When it comes to gift-giving, you will never be able to beat me!

Master Xuandu left confidently and went directly into the Heavenly Palace. He hurried along the way, riding the clouds and mist, and controlling the strong wind. In just a moment, he had reached the gate of the First Palace. Looking forward, there was a gate to heaven. Inside, there was a high platform called Xuandian Terrace. Continuing forward, it was the Five Materials Palace. Next to the Five Materials Palace was the Tianyi Golden Pool.

In the Tianyi Golden Pond, the golden water flows unsteadily and is surrounded by clouds.

Looking up, I saw three big words.

[Tushita Palace]!

It was also the place where the great master Xuandu simply chose to stop working on the material a long time ago.

The immortal children and heavenly generals, seeing the great master Xuandu coming from afar, all changed their expressions, and immediately shook the objects on the table, causing them to fall down with a crash. They all turned inside, closed the door, and exclaimed, "Laojun, Laojun, the Taishang lineage is here again!"

"The Great Master is here again!"

The Taoist children inside closed the door and refused to open it. This great wizard was a direct disciple of Taishang. The Tushita Palace originally belonged to his teacher, but now the position of Laojun belonged to someone else. However, the new Laojun's alchemy skills were ordinary, which made the Tushita Palace feel a little weak when facing this great wizard.

Laojun has not yet paid off the alchemy fee owed to the great wizard some time ago.

Here it comes again!

"Oh, I really owe him a disciple from the Great Master lineage..."

The new Laojun smiled bitterly.

The wizard knocked on the door but got no response. He pounded on it but got no response either. So he got furious and lifted up his clothes and kicked the door!

Amid the clanging sound, the great wizard who was collecting debts rushed in all at once, and soon after, he could hear a series of voices: "Great wizard, great wizard, please give me a few thousand more years, a few thousand more years..."

"I will definitely return it to you."

"Betting? I won't bet with that old ox!"

"ah?!!"

"Laojun, Laojun!"

"Something terrible has happened, old man!"

"The great wizard took out a golden nose ring, rolled up his sleeves, and ran towards the Green Ox Ancestor!!!"

"What!!!"

"Ah, [Green Ox Ancestor] is resisting!"

"The Archmage is very unhappy."

"The great wizard grabbed the Green Ox Ancestor's mane, then used his nose ring to knock the Green Ox Ancestor down!"

"ah!!!!"

…

"Hmm...why do you feel that this is a bit strange?"

Above the clouds, the girl raised her head and looked at the sky. She felt that the clouds looked even better today. However, it could also be that she was in a good mood today, so she thought the clouds were cute. She was carrying her package, thinking happily about the paintings and various delicious snacks inside.

But he had no idea that he had caught two real gifts behind his back.

Lord Tianpeng is weird.

Taiyi didn't know.

Xuan Du's character would definitely make him watch quietly. With his level of cultivation, he must know about the gifts here.

Oh……

Xuan Du is unruly. He was raised by Haotian and Fuxi when he was young, and his personality is three parts as violent as Zhurong.

After all, Xuandu was created by the Queen Nuwa herself, with the water of Gonggong, the earth of Houtu and the fire of Zhurong combined into one. When he opened his eyes, the dragon and the phoenix sang together and Fuxi played the piano. All the innate gods were congratulating this innate person who was born through creation rather than from the transformation of heaven and earth.

He will never admit defeat.

Will come with a gift big enough!

However, he didn't know that this package was big, but it only looked big. The things inside might not even be as big as a pill. Xuandu was afraid that he would bleed heavily this time. Tianpeng Great True Lord couldn't help but smile, and his mood became much happier. He even had a better impression of Yunqin.

The girl asked, "What are you laughing at, Great Master Tianpeng?"

"Hmm? Nothing."

"It's just that I feel happy when I think someone is going to be in trouble."

Tian Peng Da Zhen Jun casually mentioned this matter, smiled and praised:

"However, Miss Yunqin's luck and fortune should be very good, right?"

The girl was puzzled, but just looked at the mountain gate getting closer and closer with anticipation.

No doubt, no doubt.

Where is Wuhuo? !

Where is it?

…

"Nature is the mandate of heaven, following nature is the way, and cultivating the way is teaching—"

"The Tao cannot be separated from us for even a moment."

In this rebuilt town, there is a school. Young children, both boys and girls, sit together in the yard. A teacher who looks about sixteen or seventeen years old, dressed in a plain blue Taoist robe, gently teaches these children how to read and write. The sound of reading aloud makes the town feel warm and lively, and people will slow down when passing by here.

The young Taoist took a look at the sky and said gently, "That's all you need to learn today. I'll tell my parents about it when I get back."

"Let them know what you learned today."

"good!"

Amidst the children's voices and the not-so-uniform words of "Thank you, Mr.", Qi Wuhuo stood up. He taught the children that in addition to the text, there was also a part that taught the basics of breathing exercises. These things would help their bodies grow better and would not bring great pressure to the family because of the strong appetite brought about by the first step of practice.

The children rushed to their relatives and elders. Those people were villagers who quickly returned after learning that Jinzhou had been restored, as well as outsiders who came here because of seeing an opportunity. After being separated for nearly ten years, they returned to their hometown and naturally there were still many things to do. Qi Wuhuo helped them teach the children. They had seen the outside world and knew the great benefit of reading and writing, so they were all grateful.

"Thank you, sir."

"This is the egg that was just laid today. Here, sir, take it and boil it in water when you get home to nourish your body!"

Someone stuffed the thing in his hand into Qi Wuhuo's hand without saying anything.

The young Taoist did not refuse too much, he just took out the money. Even if it was a purchase, those people could not argue with him, so they had to let it go. Then he bent his body slightly, carrying the child on his back, with a thick straw rope hanging around his neck, and many things tied under the rope. It was very hard and the burden was very heavy, but he still smiled and talked to the child, with light in his eyes. Listening to the child talking about the things and words he had learned today, he couldn't stop smiling.

When mother is happy, the child is happy too.

He suddenly remembered something and turned around to look at the house. He saw a young Taoist priest wearing a blue outer robe and a white inner robe standing quietly under a tree, holding a book in one hand and some vegetables and meat bought from these people in the other. He stood there quietly, and the sunlight fell on the well-textured slope and on the ends of the gentleman's hair.

It seems very close, as if I can see the gentleman every day.

It also seems very far away.

So far away that the gentleman might disappear in the blink of an eye.

The child waved at the gentleman with a bright smile.

The young gentleman smiled back.

So the child turned around contentedly.

Look!

It’s very close!

Qi Wuhuo smiled and nodded, picked up the vegetables, meat and eggs, and thought that since Mr. Di Ting was coming today, he wanted to cook some good dishes, so he went to the vegetable market on the way and bought some more vegetables and side dishes. He also bought the best wine in the town, which was a little turbid.

The young gentleman thanked him, turned around and walked through the town. On the roadside there were the sounds of people talking, hawking, and the slightly sharp tones of people bargaining. There were clouds, sunshine, and birdsong. The young Taoist's mind was at peace, and as he walked, his breathing was peaceful, and his in and out was like heaven and earth.

He did not go back immediately, but went to the clinic in the town.

The doctor was relieved to see Qi Wuhuo coming, and hurriedly said, "Mr. Qi, the person you brought yesterday was fine, but he was overjoyed and worried. When he saw that there were no names of his family members on the stone tablet, he was sad and angry, and was upset, so he fainted. I gave him several doses of calming medicine."

"I woke up today, but my energy is still blocked and I can't concentrate."

"Your medical skills are better than mine, so you should take a look."

"Well, thank you, Doctor Li."

Qi Wuhuo handed the dish in his hand to the doctor, then washed his hands and walked in quietly. In fact, there were many people in the clinic. They all came here after learning about the names engraved on the stone tablet, hoping to put a final end to the Jinzhou disaster a few years ago. Many of them had been hypnotizing themselves over the years, saying that their relatives were just missing.

They are still alive, still alive!

Now I am waiting for myself in another place.

I must live on so that we can meet again one day.

It was this obsession that supported them to survive in the past few years. But now, with the appearance of the stone tablet, which records the names of all the dead in the name of Fengdu, even though many people are ecstatic and know that they can finally meet their blood relatives, many people have lost their last obsession. Many of them have let go of their obsession and continued to live in their hometown.

But there are also those who are too sad.

Now the sounds of crying, laughing, and despair are all mixed here.

The doctors were a little timid. Although it was quiet here and there was no smell of blood, the depressing atmosphere was no less than that of life and death. It did not match the elegant temperament of the young Taoist priest. When Qi Wuhuo opened the door and walked in quietly, the doctor also wanted to go in to help, but he paused and could not enter.

Just looking at the dark and dim room, the young Taoist had a calm and peaceful expression, and seemed to have the power to calm people.

Qi Wuhuo saw the old man.

The latter was the old man who was about to kill himself when he found out the names of all his blood relatives when the old Lord of Heaven came to look for Qi Wuhuo. The young Taoist priest was sitting next to him. The old man's eyes were blank and he murmured, "...you are here."

"Um."

"Heh...why did you save me?"

"Why did you save us? Wouldn't it be better to just let us die?"

The old man's voice was vague. He smiled, but it seemed that it was only his body that was smiling. He said, "The old man Li in front, his daughter and his one-month-old grandson are dead. He only has one daughter, and he is too old to have children... His family has no descendants, so in his eyes, it's time for him to die."

"The one over there is only sixteen years old. His parents are dead, his childhood sweetheart is dead, and his sister is also dead."

"He relied on the fact that his relatives were still alive to hypnotize himself all the way here."

“Only to find out that they were all dead.”

"Why?"

"Why do we have to die? Why is human life like ice in a river, shattered in an instant? Why do we have to live, and they have to die? Why do the living have to suffer so much? Can they be reincarnated? Is there still reincarnation as described in legends?"

"But even if you can reincarnate, you still have to go through this kind of life and death, and lose your loved ones. It's extremely painful."

"Is there anything in the world more painful than this?"

"No one can escape, no one can leave. After death, there is a second time, a third time, and it will never end."

Qi Wuhuo made a calming seal and listened quietly.

The old man murmured hollowly, "Do you know how to get rid of this endless pain?"

"Mr. Qi..."

After a long time, Qi Wuhuo shook his head.

He doesn't know.

"I know. I know."

“All things are suffering, all things are sorrowful.”

The old man whispered: "Only——"

When the old man said this, his tone was calm, like falling dewdrops, but in an instant a mysterious aura had been generated and slowly dissipated, as if all things were born, as if spring rain fell on new buds, fresh and beautiful, and all things seemed to be far away from Qi Wuhuo, as if the world was divided and Qi Wuhuo could hardly move.

The "old man" raised his eyes, his expression gentle and calm, all natural.

A smile:

"【Eternal Life】."
