65 Chapter 65
People who practice Taoism pay attention to self-cultivation and self-improvement, and they meditate and concentrate their minds every day. They are most afraid of being impulsive and disrupting their practice.
In other words, although they will fight if they are dissatisfied, they generally will not get too emotional.
Unless you can't help it.
"This guy is unworthy of being a human being! He is so cruel and ruthless that he deserves to be killed by everyone!"
"Newborn! Newborn! Is this something a human could do?"
"Such behavior is truly despised by all! We immortals are ashamed to associate with them! They are simply evil and heretical!"
"You're insulting the devil, huh? We...are not. The devilish sharks always kill quickly and generally don't do such immoral things!"
There were even some hot-tempered monks who were so angry that their blood vessels were about to burst, and they sat in their seats and kept swearing.
"I was wondering why this Black Mountain Old Demon was so extreme, but now it seems understandable!"
"Damn it! Damn it! I will never stand against that guy who killed his wife to prove his faith!"
"The Tianyan Sect is truly perverted. They are willing to do such a sinister thing just to cultivate immortality. It's really..."
Feeling the indignation of the audience around him, Qi Ling shrank back in his seat trembling. You know, he was just a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage and he really couldn't bear the anger of so many people.
But we are truly wronged! We in the Wuqing Dao are most averse to romance. We don't even have wives. How can we kill our wives to prove our Dao?
However, in the current situation, he did not dare to reveal his identity and explain himself. He could only try to reduce his presence. He made up his mind to rush out and report to the sect as soon as the film was finished.
On the screen, Nie Xiaoqian was also deeply shocked by this tragic past. By the time she came to her senses, she was already in tears.
"Xiao Qian... don't trust... men..." The Black Mountain Old Demon's faint warning floated gently in the misty space of memories: "Especially... men who practice the ruthless way..."
The lesson of blood and tears of the Black Mountain Old Demon kept echoing in Nie Xiaoqian's mind. One moment, the man whose face could not be seen pierced Ling'er's shoulder with a sword, and the next moment, she was pierced through the heart by a sword, and on the other end of the sword was Ning Caichen's expressionless face.
For the first time she wavered.
In reality, Nie Xiaoqian's pale skin began to be stained with strands of black resentment, her sharp nails grew uncontrollably, and she became extremely aggressive.
"Ah——!" She couldn't help but let out a shrill scream, and attacked everyone in the room without distinguishing between friend or foe.
"Not good! She's been contaminated by the Black Mountain Old Demon's vengeance and is about to turn into a fierce ghost!" Yan Chixia immediately drew his sword: "We must hurry before she completely transforms..."
"No! No!" Ning Caichen desperately blocked Nie Xiaoqian's way. "Don't hurt her. I will wake her up!"
But Nie Xiaoqian had long been possessed by a demon and turned a deaf ear to anyone's calls. Instead of regaining her senses, she attacked Ning Caichen, who was closest to her.
Yan Chixia wanted to take action, and Ning Caichen had to protect Nie Xiaoqian while avoiding her attacks. Aruo wanted to help but didn't know where to start, and several people were in chaos in the dilapidated dungeon.
Suddenly, Nie Xiaoqian's attack happened to scrape off the main beam that was about to fall, and a corner of the dungeon collapsed. Seeing that Nie Xiaoqian, who had lost her mind, was about to be hit, Ning Caichen ignored the sharp nails waving at him and rushed forward to meet the attack: "Be careful!"
Nie Xiaoqian, whose mind was in a daze, was awakened by a strong smell of blood. She found herself lying in a small space. The beams and rubble above her head fell down, forming a stable triangular area here.
The frail Ning Caichen supported the triangular area. He was bearing the heavy weight of falling bricks and stones from behind, while Nie Xiaoqian's sharp nails dug into his heart. Blood gushed out in large streams, staining his white clothes red.
"Xiao Qian, are you... okay?" The man let out a sound of extreme pain.
It was obvious that I was the one who wanted to harm him all along, but this fool still rushed forward recklessly again and again.
What am I worried about?
The resentment in Nie Xiaoqian was finally suppressed.
Outside the screen, the audience who had watched this ill-fated couple's journey could no longer hold back their tears.
"Is Ning Caichen going to die? Don't..."
"Wow... Ning Caichen is obviously such a loving and good man..." This was the voice of a female cultivator who was choked with emotion.
"Alas, fate plays tricks on me..."
"No! I won't accept this outcome! Quickly give Ning Caichen a rejuvenation pill! I think he can still be saved!"
The two people on the screen expressed their true feelings to each other. Ning Caichen's last words before the separation of life and death earned the audience's tears. Nie Xiaoqian refused to give up her dying lover. He carried Ning Caichen on his back and smashed the broken wood and stones with his bare hands, until his hands were covered in blood. With the sad background music, several female cultivators even couldn't help crying.
After an unknown amount of time, Nie Xiaoqian finally met Yan Chixia and Aruo who were digging the rubble from top to bottom.
The rejuvenation pill on Yan Chixia saved their lives. At this time, the other female ghosts had already given up their obsessions and went to the underworld or escaped from the ancient temple during the chaos. The entire Lanruo Temple was about to collapse because it had lost the support of the Black Mountain Old Demon. In order to allow the others to escape safely, Aruo took the initiative to stay:
"I'm the only one who knows how to maintain this barrier. Although my abilities aren't as great as yours, I can still hold it together for a while. Take this opportunity to escape."
Yan Chixia turned and looked at her: "What are you going to do?"
Aren't you never going to get out?
Aruo then smiled. This was the first time she truly smiled, and her tone was one of relief. "I have fulfilled my wish to rescue all the sisters from this endless nightmare. After helping you this time, I will also go to be reborn. We will meet again if we are destined to."
The ethereal figure of the female ghost disappeared on the spot. Before the few people had time to look for her, a wooden door suddenly appeared out of thin air in the ancient temple that was about to fall apart.
"Get out of here, remember to keep going forward, don't look back."
Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian looked at each other, held hands, opened the wooden door, and ran out with all their might. However, Yan Chixia, who was the best in skill, fell behind, and his steps became heavier as he walked, until he stopped completely.
"Why don't you leave? Can't the little Taoist priest bear to leave me?" The woman's voice was still teasing, as if it was right next to his ear, just like the countless times Aruo had teased him along the way.
"I promised to help you out, and I haven't fulfilled my promise yet." Yan Chixia's face still had no expression, but the hand holding the hilt of the sword gradually tightened.
"Oh, I thought it was nothing! It's okay, I forgive you." Aruo's voice was flat and emotionless: "Anyway, you men never keep your word."
"But Ning Caichen did it. Since I promised you, I should keep my promise." The sound of the barrier behind him collapsing and tearing was like a tsunami, but Yan Chixia's feet seemed to have taken root and remained motionless: "If I try my best, it might be possible..."
It is not impossible to save Aruo in the collapsed barrier, but the more likely ending is that they will both die here together and be shattered into pieces along with the collapsed barrier.
This time, the female voice behind him fell silent for a moment. Yan Chixia suddenly felt someone push him hard from behind, and then he drifted forward involuntarily. His limbs felt weak, as if he had been under some kind of spell. In the last second of his unconsciousness, he could vaguely hear Aruo's choked voice:
"I'm just a ghost who doesn't even understand what love is. Taoist priest, remember to use the deep love you learned on a more deserving match next time."
What is love...?
Ning Caichen held Nie Xiaoqian's hand and ran forward desperately. Finally, an exit with bright sunshine appeared in front of the road.
The monks who had been crying since Ling'er: ...
Woo woo woo, sadness comes in waves, Aruo, please don’t die!
"How could this be... Aruo saved everyone but didn't get out herself..."
"All the tears of the year have been shed today..."
"I think Yan Chixia actually likes A'ruo a little bit. If A'ruo goes out, there's a possibility that they could be together..."
"I think so too. I've always felt that they are a perfect match!"
"Yan Chixia has already learned what love is from Ning Caichen, but unfortunately... Alas!"
"What's going on? Why is the ending of this story so tragic..."
"Look at the bright side. At least Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian have escaped. At least they can finally be together!"
This sentence finally cheered up the audience who were so tortured.
Yes! Although Ling'er and Aruo were in a miserable state, Nie Xiaoqian finally escaped. She can finally be together with her beloved Ning Caichen!
Thinking of this, the female cultivators who were still feeling sad wiped away their tears silently, and the male cultivators who were in heavy hearts finally cheered up. All the audiences, including Qi Ling, focused their attention on the big screen, watching the lovers expressing their love on the shore of the sparkling lake with some relief and blessings.
Ah, this scene is really beautiful. This story should end here, right?
Just as they were thinking this, something strange happened on the screen. An old Taoist priest with white hair and glaring eyes, who was so angry that he was blowing his beard, fell from the sky and interrupted the heartfelt talk between Nie Xiaoqian and Ning Caichen with his thunderous momentum. He kidnapped Ning Caichen with a tough attitude that did not allow any discussion, leaving Nie Xiaoqian alone on the ground crying and chasing after him.
"Wuwuwu, Caichen! Please, please give him back to me! Wuwuwu, wuwuwuwuwu..."
Nie Xiaoqian had a heartbroken expression on her face. She ran desperately after the old Taoist priest who was flying into the sky. However, how could a weak female ghost like her catch up with the speed of the immortal cultivator?
In the end, Nie Xiaoqian fell to the ground and cried bitterly, and the sunny lakeside was filled with her sad cries. In such a sad and lonely atmosphere, the movie Nie Xiaoqian finally played the lingering ending song.
To the audience who are hoping for a perfect ending: ...
"Who is that old Taoist priest fucking? He's a thousand times, ten thousand times more abominable than the Black Mountain Demon!"
"Looks a little familiar..."
"Isn't this the person in the poster? Elder Xu Hengzi of the Tianyan Sect, Ning Caichen's master!"
"Didn't they say Ning Caichen cultivates the Way of Mercy? Perhaps his master doesn't approve of him and Nie Xiaoqian being together..."
"They're a handsome young couple, and it's his turn as an old man to object? Is he crazy?"
"Damn Tianyan Sect! Return Ning Caichen to Nie Xiaoqian quickly!"
As the lights in the theater came on again, curses were heard from the audience.
【Author’s words】
Audience: I’m so angry. What’s going on with this frustrated feeling?
Ning Shu: I know you guys were shocked by the ending, but I can’t do anything about it. If you want to blame someone, just blame Xu Hengzi [dog head]
In fact, such shocking endings have happened many times. The most famous one is that when Conan Doyle wrote Sherlock Holmes to death, the British people rose up in anger and people actually sent knives to smash windows. Later, the author had no choice but to write a second part to resurrect Holmes [laughing and crying]. It can be seen that the anger of readers is really unbearable for ordinary people. I light a candle for Elder Xu Hengzi (sad face)...
