Chapter 221: Justified and Relying on Luck
"That is the legend of the fall of the immortals."
Xiao Changheng told the story slowly and leisurely.
In ancient times, gods lived in the world together with mortals.
Mortals pay tribute to the gods and provide them with food, clothing and daily necessities, while the gods keep the area safe.
However, there were many immortals in that era, and not all of them were kind and compassionate, so conflicts would arise from time to time.
And those conflicts may just be a matter of victory or defeat for the immortals, but the mortals involved are often reduced to ashes in an instant, with all their lives devastated.
But even so, the records still describe the ancient times as very fascinating.
Because at that time, mortals could also become immortals.
Yun Qingqing's heart skipped a beat:
"Mortals can become immortals? Since when did such legends disappear?"
"It is the fall of the immortals." Xiao Changheng replied.
"But in all the legends, there are only a few records about the fall of the immortals. The cause and time are unknown. There is only one result: from a certain point in time, the surviving immortals gradually disappeared from the world and no longer appeared in front of the world."
"Later, there were rumors that the immortals had quietly passed away one by one, and the path for mortals to ascend to immortality was completely blocked."
Yun Qingqing concentrated on thinking for a while, and suddenly asked:
"How do you know these legends so well?"
Someone who was talking incessantly just now suddenly fell silent.
After a long while, he spoke again and threw back a question:
"Last time you said that my qualifications were not suitable, what was the reason?"
Yun Qingqing was stunned for a moment before she realized what he was referring to.
When she came back from Yunwu Mountain last time, she hinted to him that the gap between people who practice cultivation and ordinary people is as huge as a chasm in the sky, implying that the two of them were not suitable.
It turned out that this person actually had plans to practice cultivation, so she simply told him the truth.
She really couldn't see the roots for cultivation in him, and even if he forced his way in, he wouldn't get far, so it was better not to hold out hope from the beginning.
Yun Qingqing recalled what happened that day and did not answer for a while.
Behind the screen, Xiao Changheng spoke softly to himself:
"In fact, I already understood what you said that day, but I just didn't want to admit it in my heart."
"I know you wouldn't lie about something like this, but... I can't accept it."
"I have been reading ancient books these days, hoping to find some hope, but when I read those ancient legends, I got an inexplicable feeling."
"My intuition tells me that those things are very important to me, and I must remember them firmly...even if I don't know why."
He paused for a moment, then suddenly chuckled:
"Today I seem to finally understand why these things are important."
"Why?" Yun Qingqing was confused and asked subconsciously.
"Because you need it."
The man's low voice was accompanied by the sound of water. He seemed to have adjusted himself to a comfortable position. His voice became lazy and casual, not as serious and dignified as usual when facing her.
Yun Qingqing's heart skipped a beat and she turned to look over.
Through the screen, she could only see the blurry figure opposite her, but she always felt that there was a burning gaze falling on her.
She pinched her fingers, stood up and coughed lightly:
"I have almost learned everything I want to know. Thank you very much for today. I will come back to give you acupuncture in the evening. I am leaving now."
She turned and walked away, not noticing that her steps were a little faster than usual.
"Yun Qingqing." A gentle male voice sounded lightly.
She paused and didn't look back.
"How about another deal?" Xiao Changheng said.
"What?" She turned to look at the screen.
The man didn't answer right away.
"...Please let me think about it again."
Yun Qingqing: ...
After leaving the room and taking several steps, she seemed to hear a low sigh behind her.
…
…
After a big battle last night, Yun Qingqing had planned to rest in her own courtyard for a day.
But after coming out from Xiao Changheng's place, she thought about it and changed her mind and went to Tianming Pavilion.
Not long after she sat down, she frowned, stood up, pushed the door and walked out.
Standing on the second floor corridor and looking down, I saw a little kid standing at the door and speaking to Mu Hongling in a baby voice:
"I want to see Father Xi~! Sister, can you help me inform him?"
Mu Hongling was almost melted by this baby.
But who is Wawa looking for?
Before she could ask, Qingjue rushed over like a gust of wind, looking at Tongtong with shining eyes.
I don’t know why, but I really want to rub this doll!
Qingjue just felt his hands itching, and he looked up and wanted to pinch her chubby little face.
But when his hand was halfway raised, it froze again.
Tongtong was looking up at him, her big round eyes shining brightly.
Slurp~
She swallowed.
Just at this moment, Qingjue almost got furious and quickly retreated.
"Pavilion Master! Come and see what this thing is! When did such a horrible thing come into our Tianming Pavilion?"
Yun Qingqing burst out laughing.
Qingjue wanted to rub Tongtong because of her Qilin bloodline. Although her luck was hidden by the spiritual Buddha beads, Qingjue, who was a spirit instrument, had a keen sense of perception and could still detect it by intuition.
But Tongtong also has Taotie bloodline!
Taotie eats everything, and his favorite are natural treasures that are rich in spiritual energy. Qingjue's original body is ancient jade that can be transformed into spirit, so it is naturally considered a natural treasure.
Taotie is an ancient ferocious beast. Its pressure in front of a young man like Qingjue is no joke. Do you still want to rub him?
You can't scare him to death!
When the little bean heard the laughter, he immediately looked up, his eyes lit up, and he jumped and waved at her:
"Father Xi~! Hurry up and save Liang Qin! Liang Qin has been captured by the bad guy!"
Yun Qingqing raised her eyebrows and immediately went downstairs.
When she went downstairs, Mu Hongling was curiously asking Tongtong:
"Did you come here alone? Where are you from?"
Tongtong tilted her little head:
"At home!"
She thought about it and started to get angry again:
"Bad guy broke into my house and took Liangqin away!"
"Ah? Then how do you find your way around?" Mu Hongling thought to herself that there were shops on the nearby streets, and the nearest house was several streets away.
This kid actually found himself here on his own?
Tongtong put her hands on her waist and said confidently:
"It depends on luck!"
Mu Hongling: ...
Yun Qingqing burst out laughing again.
Nothing wrong.
This little thing doesn't have enough to eat, but it has incredible luck.
Even if she walked around with her eyes closed, as long as she was thinking about finding her master, she would definitely be able to walk to her.
Yun Qingqing took Tongtong's hand:
"Let's go and find your mother."
She also asked Mu Hongling to go to the Six Gates to inform Yan Haochu, and then took Tongtong away from Tianming Pavilion.
The two went straight to Xu's house.
The one who kidnapped Su Anrong was none other than Mr. Xu, who was furious because his marriage proposal failed.
Today, the Xu family sent another matchmaker to propose marriage, but unlike in the past, this time he directly sent the betrothal gifts.
Dozens of boxes of betrothal gifts filled the yard.
This matchmaking was not successful, as there is no rule of directly giving a betrothal gift.
Coupled with the strange remarks made by the matchmaker and the Xu family's housekeeper, it seemed that Su Anrong had no choice but to marry someone with the surname Xu, otherwise she was not worthy of being a woman and her life would have no meaning.
Su Anrong was so angry that she wanted to beat the man out.
As a result, the Xu family did something even more bizarre. He directly ordered the servants who were carrying the betrothal gifts to kidnap Su Anrong.
Yun Qingqing was not surprised at all. She had already figured out that with Xu's style of doing things, it would be strange if he didn't cause trouble.
On the other hand, when Tongtong came to find her, she didn't seem anxious or afraid. Instead, she looked like she was going to watch a good show and was very excited.
Yun Qingqing rubbed her little head:
"Why, aren't you worried about your mother?"
Tongtong raised her little face:
"Father Xi is here, they should be the ones who are worried!"
