"Immortality? You piece of trash, you think you can live forever? Even a scourge that lives for a thousand years has to be a big shot. You're just a single-celled mutant, do you really think you're a tadpole? You think having extra tails makes you a big bad wolf? The pile of dog shit you eat can't even describe your reason for existing in this world!"
Shan You suddenly spoke from behind, startling Luo Lin, and the others were also taken aback.
Dan You himself did not expect that he could actually swear from the very first word. He originally thought that he would just move his mouth without making a sound.
Before Li Yuchu could even react after he finished cursing, Bai Hao continued to educate Luo Lin.
“Although it is called immortality, it is not really immortality. Once the painting disappears, everything will vanish like smoke.” Bai Hao paused and added, “Immortality that depends on external objects is no different from being a walking corpse.”
Li Yuchu's composure was crumbling, but she could still barely maintain it.
Li Yuchu: "But if it does not disappear, it can live as long as heaven and earth. As long as the goal can be achieved, external objects or even the body itself are just means."
Shan You: "Like a lapdog trying to eat the moon, ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth. A mayfly, living only a day and dying at night, dares to dream of eternity. Even a tortoise wouldn't dare to think like that!"
Li Yuchu's smile froze for a moment, and her gaze towards Shan You turned somewhat cold and menacing.
Luo Lin silently gave this guy a thumbs up; he really had a sharp tongue!
Bai Hao: "What is the point of gaining so-called immortality in this tiny space? Do you really not regret building yourself a cage from which you can never escape?"
"What is the goal? A cage?" Li Yuchu paused for a moment, then suddenly laughed. "This is a cage, but isn't the human world also a cage? It's just a matter of size, what difference does it make? Immortality, invulnerability, and indestructibility! How many people dream of this?"
Li Yuchu turned and pointed towards the capital city: "Do you see those people in the city? People have been coming in here without ceasing. They seek immortality and want to live forever. This is their paradise! No one wants to leave, and I am the only master here, their savior!"
Shan You: "A bat with chicken feathers stuck in its body, what kind of bird are you? A savior, a toad trying to seduce a swan, you're ugly but dreaming! A tattered painting, making people feel like they're neither alive nor dead, and you still have the nerve to compare it to the real world? You're a frog in a well, deaf and blind, a dung beetle comparing itself to an elephant, wishful thinking!"
Bai Hao wanted to say something, but finding he had nothing to say, he didn't refrain from speaking further.
Li Yuchu could no longer maintain her facade and roared in a low voice, "Enough! Shut up!"
Shan You rolled her eyes at him: "Enough? Enough my ass! You think it's enough just because you say so? Do you think you can tell me what to do, whether I poop or fart? What I fart is meant to hit you! I'm too embarrassed to even use 'shit' to describe you. Shit can even breed maggots. What are you breeding? Your broken manhood?!"
Qin Nan looked at Shan You in shock, full of admiration. He was really good at cursing. Although he couldn't distinguish between friend and foe, he never repeated his insults. They were all the kind that hit right to the heart, completely disregarding the lives of others.
Li You sat quietly by the side, holding Jiang Jiang, enjoying the melon. She always found it incredibly satisfying to hear Shan You curse people!
Of course, this is on the premise that you are not the one being scolded!
Thinking back to the two weeks that Shan You scolded her, Li You felt a heart attack for a moment, but now she felt good seeing others being scolded!
Qiong Ruiheng shook his head helplessly; he didn't really want to understand the adult world.
Zhao Wan and Song Huiru couldn't help but glance at Shan You, and their restless resentment subsided considerably.
Li Yuchu's expression was visibly gloomy, and the last sentence seemed to have touched a taboo for him.
The dark night sky was suddenly swept away by dark clouds, obscuring the stars and moon, and darkness descended. Only the fire that had been lit in the cave by Luo Lin provided a faint light.
The once tranquil forest suddenly became eerie and terrifying. Qin Nan unconsciously grabbed Bai Hao's arm. She wasn't afraid, but it was just too cold.
Bai Hao raised his hand and made a hand seal, and the fire in the cave suddenly burned brightly, the intense heat dispelling the cold outside.
Seeing that Qin Nan was feeling better, Bai Hao flashed in front of Li Yuchu and threw a punch, but Li Yuchu's figure disappeared on the spot.
Li Yuchu: "A little Taoist who knows a bit of magic? You're really confident. This painting is my domain. With your skills, you're no match for me."
Suddenly, Li Yuchu appeared on the other side. He ignored Bai Hao and looked at Song Huiru. "My Ghost King, it's time to go back."
As she spoke, Li Yuchu took out a string of copper bells and gently shook them, the bells clinking together to produce a crisp sound.
Suddenly, Song Huiru, who had been quiet, had a splitting headache. Her resentment surged and black ghost patterns spread all over her body. She clutched her head and screamed in pain before losing consciousness. She lowered her hands, tilted her head, and listened to the sound of the copper bell. Then she moved and floated towards the source of the sound.
Luo Lin reached out and grabbed Song Huiru's wrist. His palm was icy cold, and the pain made him instinctively let go. Even though he held her wrist tightly, his hand couldn't help but tremble.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Wan floated in front of Song Huiru, reached out and pressed her shoulder to stop her from moving forward. As fellow ghosts, the resentment on Song Huiru's body had little effect on Zhao Wan.
On the other side, Bai Hao dutifully played the role of a Taoist priest, using talismans and spells one after another, while Li Yuchu seemed to have lost his original body, merging into the painting, and no attack was effective.
But Bai Hao never stopped attacking.
Li Yuchu: "Young Taoist, it's useless. Why be so persistent? Why not stay here and cultivate together? Isn't the goal to achieve immortality?"
The copper bell in Li Yuchu's hand rang incessantly as she faced Bai Hao's attacks with ease.
Bai Hao: "Slaying demons and exorcising evil spirits is the way of our generation. You imprison the souls of the dead, disrupt the boundary between Yin and Yang, and defy the heavens. You will surely be punished by the heavens! I will act on behalf of the heavens!"
Bai Hao's words were resounding, his Dao heart unwavering!
Tanuki Yu: "..."
Li You was stunned. Could Bai Hao really say something like that? Exorcising demons and upholding justice? Him?!
Dan You: "..."
Even though Shan You wasn't banned, he was speechless. This heartless mythical beast has no shame!
Luo Lin, standing nearby, completely believed it! No wonder Bai Hao was so powerful and knew magic; he was a Taoist!
Li Yuchu couldn't help but chuckle as she listened to Bai Hao's "bold words".
Li Yuchu: "You're young and impetuous, but unfortunately, you've come to the wrong place."
As soon as he finished speaking, the chains that had disappeared reappeared out of thin air, sweeping towards Bai Hao like a snake.
Bai Hao seemed slightly flustered as he dodged the chains.
Li Yu smiled contemptuously when she first saw this, feeling that Bai Hao was overestimating himself.
However, his smile froze the next moment. He suddenly returned to his original form and saw that a seven or eight-year-old boy had already pulled half of the jade pendant from his waist.
He hurriedly reached out to grab him, but the child was as agile as a monkey, and in the blink of an eye, he had already run far away, and suddenly turned back to make a face at him.
Qiong Ruiheng took the jade pendant back to Qin Nan's side and stuffed it into his hand.
Li Yuchu, who had been chasing after them, was stopped by Bai Hao.
The jade pendant landed in Qin Nan's hand, emitting a faint glow, with pale golden dust swirling around Qin Nan's fingertips.
This is his byproduct.
Qin Nan placed the jade pendant between her eyebrows and then put it back into her body.
Once again, long-forgotten memories flooded back like a tide.
