"Senior brother, how do you think Master and the others are doing now?"
"I don't know."
"Senior brother, tell me another story! I can't sleep."
"there is none left."
"Senior brother, you're so boring!"
"Yes, a little."
"Senior brother, do you think there really are gods in this world?"
"Maybe!"
"Senior brother, if there is a god, I think your god must be like Master."
"It's not good to be a god." After saying this, an eerie silence fell.
"Senior brother...you didn't actually become a god, did you?" Wang Xi muttered to himself. "Senior brother doesn't have any memories of what happened before he came up the mountain. That god who came from the sky, although he doesn't know what happened before, seems to only remember one thing."
The little girl continued jokingly, not taking it seriously: "Senior brother, what do you think it's like to be a god?"
“Once you become a god, you can never go back to being human.” He didn’t know why he had this thought, as if he had really been a god before, and that memory of choosing to escape was not a good thing for him.
But why is the god who has already gone far away acting crazy, while he can barely be considered a normal person?
The one who claimed to be a god was determined to die at the hands of his master.
When he first met his master, all he could think about was how to kill him.
Does God also have factions?
Just as Master said, if that person is a god, he must be a god who is ostracized.
"How did you know that, senior brother? I've often thought you were very knowledgeable."
Wang Xi narrowed her eyes. She cared a lot about anything related to Wen Jingge. Liang Si had been Wen Jingge's disciple for three years before her, so she should know more inside information than she did!
"I don't know." Liang Si closed her eyes, not wanting to dwell on the topic any longer.
"Senior brother!" Just as he was about to fall asleep, Wang Xi shook his arm to wake him up. "Have you noticed that the ground is moving?"
At first, Liang Si thought it was quicksand, but soon he realized something was wrong.
It's not the sand that's changing, but the entire area that's changing in a rapid and incomprehensible way, like the Black Mountain Demon's City That Never Sleeps, transforming from overgrown weeds into lush greenery.
This desert is just like that.
What was an endless desert by day turned into a spectacle of sparks at night, revealing plains, mountains, and even bustling city-states.
Torches were still stuck on the city gate battlements, as if guiding blind people through the night.
They were quite far apart, but they could still vaguely see crowds of people on the city gate and hear singing drifting over, as if a grand banquet was being held in the city.
“Senior brother…” Wang Xi’s face was almost scrunched up in a grotesque expression. “I remember this is the way back to Qianyan, but Qianyan doesn’t have this city. Why would it suddenly appear here?”
The atmosphere was heavy, adding a touch of mystery to the vast night.
Liang Si grasped her hand and hurriedly tidied up the luggage on the ground. "No matter what, we can't afford to cause any more trouble."
Even that god could fall for it here, let alone these two greenhorns who haven't even finished their training. He wanted to play it safe, so he grabbed Wang Xi's hand and tried to leave.
"How strange! There shouldn't be a city like this here." Wang Xi wondered as she walked, but suddenly noticed that the person beside her had stopped moving. She looked in the direction Liang Si was looking.
Ahead lay a valley, filled with crumbling walls, as if no one had lived there for a long time.
"Senior brother, we..."
Before her lay an unknown valley, and behind her lay a dazzling city that never sleeps. Wang Xi didn't know where to go. At this moment, the only person she could rely on was Liang Si.
"I don't believe it!" Liang Si led him to the left, but as they walked, a wide river appeared there.
The riverbank is lush and green, a beautiful place where the barren desert is no longer present. It is teeming with wild animals and spirits, unlike any other place in the human world.
"Shall we go to the right?" Wang Xi asked tentatively.
As they walked back, a towering mountain range rose to their right. From where they had been standing, they hadn't even noticed the mountain. The mountain range was rugged and winding, rarely visited by humans, and occasionally echoed with the cries of monkeys.
"Senior brother, they wouldn't force us to choose a path, would they?"
Liang Si remained silent.
He didn't know the specifics of what it meant, nor did he want to get involved. "May I ask, who is this senior? Why are you using illusions to deceive us, my fellow disciples?"
The scene before him was real, but it was so real that it seemed unreal. That is why he asked, “Please show yourself, senior. My senior brother is just passing by. If there is any misunderstanding, I can clear it up in person.”
The night is silent, and only when all is quiet can people soothe their weary souls.
Nighttime is also dangerous; wild beasts lurk in the forest, and a moment's carelessness can cost you your life.
Nighttime is especially unsettling, like right now.
"Senior, please allow me a moment."
Only his own echo reverberated through the mountains in response, "Junior Sister, which one do you choose?"
"Can we choose none of them? Should we just wait here? How can we get out of a place where even that god is trapped?"
Liang Si had no choice but to think for a moment, "Let's go wait over in the valley!"
Compared to other places, the view over the valley is much clearer, and it looks desolate and not like a place inhabited by people. As for the other three places, Liang Si doesn't know if he can protect Wang Xi if they encounter danger.
"good."
Unbeknownst to them, their master was also looking at a valley at that very moment.
"Amitabha……"
“Excellent, excellent,” Wen Jingge automatically chimed in. “Is there something you’d like to say?”
The Buddha of Sorrow and Joy smiled and asked, "What does Master Wen think?"
"What does the monk think?"
"The Buddha said..."
"Don't try to be sarcastic, or I'll shoot you to death."
Although he didn't know how he would die from being shot to death, the monk, unlike those ordinary people, was afraid.
Although they have lost their cultivation, sword cultivators' swords are not entirely dependent on profound energy to be used. Ordinary people also practice swordsmanship. Ordinary swords are less sharp than sword cultivators' swords, and there are quite a few who rely on their skills to become wandering knights.
"The monk does not know."
"I don't know what you're babbling about." Wen Jingge glared at him. "Can you even bring back the Demon Clan's Holy Son?"
"Yes, I can."
"Huh?" Wen Jingge looked at the monk in surprise. "You can also do ventriloquism?"
There was no one else here. Lu Wei had gone to chase after the Holy Son. It was just her two disciples and the Sorrowful and Joyful Buddha, who was an outsider.
But the voice wasn't from any of them; it belonged to a stranger.
"Who goes there?" The Buddha of Compassion and Joy asked, fiddling with the prayer beads in his hands. "Who is here?"
"The Wen clan members have met the ancestor."
"Huh?" Wen Jingge was completely baffled: Who is the Ancestor? She's not a vampire!
"Master, the sound is coming from the valley." Ling Yi's eyes lit up.
In the valley depicted in the painting, a group of people dressed in black robes had appeared out of nowhere. The leader removed his hat, and his appearance bore a striking resemblance to Wen Jingge.
"Please come with me, ancestor."
