Chapter 38
Su Chengyue has clearly felt recently that Gu An has changed.
My former master was like a solitary moon in the sky, cold and aloof, with nothing in his eyes, and his heart was only focused on immortality.
But now, Gu An's brows were filled with the freshness of the world, and his expression became lively.
Especially when he was with the dragon, he didn't even notice the little intimate gestures that were revealed unintentionally.
In the pavilion, the warm sun shines obliquely and the tea smoke curls up.
Su Chengyue was hidden in the shadow of the corridor pillars, like a cold jade sculpture, quietly watching the two people chatting and laughing in the pavilion.
He knew the dragon all too well.
Master had spent too much energy on this evil beast. Before bringing it back to the mountain gate, Master often lingered in the human world just to see him from afar.
Every time he returned, he would be in a daze for quite some time, often standing alone on the top of a snowy mountain, muttering to himself in the void.
"Since Master is so concerned about it, why not keep it with you forever? Only by having the things you cherish in front of you can you feel at ease."
Gu An seemed to have listened to him at that time.
When the master came out of seclusion again, Su Chengyue took on the important task of guarding the dragon.
Oh……
That's ridiculous.
Su Chengyue felt a chill in her heart.
Gu An was obviously very concerned, but he pretended to be disgusted.
Master, oh Master, your acting is laughably poor. With such weakness and duplicity, how can you be worthy of the title of Immortal Lord? How can you be worthy of…
The corners of his mouth slowly curled up.
Be my, Su Chengyue's, master?!
"Gu An has practiced hard for thousands of years, and all he wants is immortality? I also want immortality! But what I want is far more than that! I want to live as long as the sky! I want all nine heavens to prostrate themselves at my feet!"
Su Chengyue's ambition roared silently in the darkness.
And the opportunity lies in that dragon.
Witness with your own eyes how just one drop of dragon blood instantly brought life back to the withered and dead mountain. Grass and trees grew wildly, and spiritual springs began to flow again...
Su Chengyue finally found the answer to her long-standing confusion.
A drop of blood has such a creative power.
What about two drops? Three drops?
Or a whole bottle?!
An indescribable ecstasy ran through his limbs like an electric current. Su Chengyue could hardly control the slight trembling of his lips. A twisted and greedy smile quietly crept up the corners of his mouth.
With this dragon blood, why worry about not achieving the great Dao?! Ascension in broad daylight, immortality, within easy reach!
Su Chengyue will never again be like his cowardly and incompetent parents who could only hide him in a closet, watching their home burned down and their loved ones slaughtered without even the slightest power to resist.
'No. '
A sudden voice suddenly pierced into his boiling sea of consciousness.
'You did not succeed.'
'You later died.'
"who?!!!!!!"
Su Chengyue turned around in shock, and was horrified to find that the surrounding scene faded away like ink, leaving only a dead and silent void.
A young man wearing a strange short shirt, but with a face exactly the same as his, was walking slowly out of this ink-black area, his eyes complicated and difficult to discern.
'finally found you. '
'I am Su He.'
…
Inside the pavilion, a piece of fine Xuelang rice paper was spread on the jade table.
Tang An held the wolf-hair brush, dipped it in thick ink, and solemnly wrote four powerful characters in the center of the paper:
Homecoming plan.
This is the third day since he came to this world of cultivating immortals.
According to Chi Ying, the speed of time flowing in the two worlds is very different. What passes for three days here may only be a blink of an eye there, so he is not in too much of a hurry.
In the past few days, under Chi Ying's guidance, Tang An has basically figured out the structure of Gu An's luxurious fairy palace, and even initially mastered the magical skills of flying with a sword and shrinking the distance into an inch, which he had only seen in dreams before.
"Tsk tsk, no wonder everyone has wanted to cultivate immortality and seek the truth throughout history." Tang An sighed, but the pen in his hand completely stopped after writing a lonely "1."
He casually put the pen behind his ear, picked up the peach blossom wine that he had taken from Gu An's private wine cellar, tilted his head back and gulped down half a pot.
"Refreshing!" He sighed with satisfaction as the alcohol started to rise.
Chi Ying, who was sitting opposite, held his chin with his hands, waiting eagerly for a brilliant plan for a long time, but in the end, this is what he got?
The corner of his mouth twitched: "..."
Is this really my strict and calm lawyer wife???
Tang An is a free and unrestrained person by nature. He has been bound by the rules of modern society for too long. Once he travels to this place where no one knows his identity and he is in a very high position, without the pressure of KPIs and case files, his nature naturally becomes like a wild horse that has broken free from its reins.
It stands to reason that an immortal's body is not easily drunk, but the peach blossom wine that Gu An secretly kept is a top-grade wine brewed specifically for immortals, and it has an extremely strong aftertaste.
Tang An had already drunk two pots of wine and was drunk.
He gestured to Chi Ying with drunken eyes: "Do you still... remember... remember... what I told you..."
Chi Ying sighed helplessly: “Well, you said that after I came through, Shen Qi also came into my body.”
Tang An nodded his heavy head, his cheeks flushed: "So...so...Gu An...must have gone too..."
Chi Ying quickly reached out and supported Tang An's head, which was about to hit the stone table. He said in a serious tone: "From what you said, Chen Qi is a simple fool. Maybe it's okay, but Gu An..."
His eyes were deep, filled with worry that was difficult to conceal.
"I'm worried about my parents..."
“Mom and Dad…”
These two words were like a basin of cold water, instantly sobering Tang An up from his drunken state. He pushed Chi Ying's hand away and staggered to his feet.
"With...with Master He and the others here, it should be fine..."
He tried to convince himself, but his voice trembled slightly.
Chi Ying quickly stood up and supported his shaking body: "But who can guarantee that everything will be safe? Gu An is definitely not a good person."
Tang An tightly grasped Chi Ying's sleeve. A mixture of drunkenness and worry made his eyes look a little straight, but he was extremely stubborn: "Gu An is not here... you, that method you mentioned... should we... try it?"
Chi Ying's body stiffened, his eyes instantly becoming extremely sharp as he stared at Tang An: "Are you sure?!"
That method is to commit suicide, an extreme way to try to free the soul from this body and return to the original body.
Previously, due to the powerful restrictions set by Gu An, any thought of self-harm on his part would be detected and suppressed, but the deeper reason was that he did not dare to gamble.
Chi Ying was afraid that if this body died but the soul could not return, then there would be no return and all hope of returning home would be completely cut off.
This world is too real, so real that he dare not risk his last hope.
"I can't guarantee the consequences." Chi Ying's voice was as heavy as iron.
Tang An was stung by the solemnity in his eyes and completely sobered up. He subconsciously patted Chi Ying's shoulder and said, "Actually, I'm scared too."
Chi Ying: "Then..."
Tang An spoke quickly and decisively: "Then let's think of another way! Safety comes first!"
Chi Ying: “…”
Tang An touched his nose guiltily, his eyes wandering: "Just like you said, what if I really die and don't come back? What about my parents? I don't want them to see me die before me..."
He said this, his voice lowering.
Chi Ying looked at his cowardly and self-righteous appearance, feeling both angry and amused. The heaviness in her heart seemed to be diluted a little: "I thought you were brave because of drinking."
Tang An glared at him and said, "Crawl."
He sat back on the white marble bench in a huff, picked up the pen again, and scribbled and drew on the "Go Home Plan" which only had the title and "1." written on it, with a bitter and resentful look.
Chi Ying understood his concerns, wasn't he the same?
He sat down next to Tang An again, and touched him lightly with his shoulder: "But before, I was alone in my thoughts, but now I have you here."
Tang An glanced at him sideways without saying anything. He simply raised his hand and used a brush to draw a large black cross on his handsome nose: "Shut up! Don't disturb me while I'm thinking about something."
His tone was fierce, but there was no anger in his eyes.
Chi Ying wasn't annoyed either. He leaned his head on Tang An's shoulder like a big dog that had found support: "Hmm."
Thousands of miles away, above the raging sea
In the void, Su Chengyue stood proudly and independently.
The pitch-black bone whip in his hand was like a poisonous dragon. Every time it was swung, it tore through the air and carved a bottomless ravine on the sea surface.
"Get out—"
“Get out of my body!!!!!!”
He roared loudly, like a trapped beast on the verge of death.
'I am you.'
'You are me.'
The cold voice was like a maggot on the tarsal bone, echoing in Su Chengyue's sea of consciousness.
As he resisted fiercely, a fishy and sweet taste suddenly rushed up his throat.
Su Chengyue groaned, and a streak of glaring blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
He covered his chest which was churning with pain, his eyes filled with confusion and doubt: "Who are you?!"
"I am you in the future."
"The future?" Su Chengyue sneered coldly, as if she had heard a huge joke. "This is ridiculous! How dare a mere inner demon illusion disturb my spiritual heart?!"
"Sizzle—"
The bone whip in his hand burst out with a dazzling black light, and a sharp whip shadow broke through the air, instantly splitting the dead tree on a distant rocky island into pieces, and smoke and dust filled the sky.
"As long as I, Su Chengyue, live, I will not allow demons like you to block my path to immortality!!"
He roared angrily, and his body rose from the ground, hovering in mid-air. He quickly formed seals with his hands, and spiritual power surged around his body. He tried to force himself into a state of meditation and drive away this strange inner demon.
At the moment when he was forcing his mind to concentrate, the strange consciousness lurking deep in his sea of consciousness was violently shaken out by the huge force.
Far away in another time and space, in a dim room.
"puff--"
Su He suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood, and his whole body was thrown to the ground by an invisible force like a broken sack.
He struggled to prop up his upper body, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, and cursed under his breath: "Fucking idiot."
He would never admit, even if beaten to death, that idiot with a brain like one stuck in a door could be his past life!
Today's forced intrusion into Su Chengyue's consciousness almost drained half of his life.
He raised his hand tremblingly, and a strand of dazzling silver-white hair was mixed in the black hair between his fingers.
Time is running out.
He stood up and staggered to the mirror.
The mirror reflected a pale and haggard face that showed the signs of time, and the white hair at the temples was shocking.
"I have three chances at most." He said hoarsely to himself in the mirror.
If he fails to change the past after three attempts, all that awaits him is death.
Su He pinched the corner of the table.
He spent a full ten years preparing for this plan to change his fate.
Over the past ten years, he has used up all his parents' inheritance to buy a hidden plot of land on the outskirts of the city and built a two-story house isolated from the world. He even used up his last connections to find the legendary figure in the world of metaphysics, to learn from him, and even ended up taking his mentor's life with his own hands in order to keep the secret.
During these ten years, he lived in purgatory with his hands stained with sin, but as long as he could embark on the bright road to eternal life, he was willing to make all these sacrifices.
Now, he has found the remains of Chi Ying and Tang An, the evil couple in their previous life.
If he could just change the past, Su He would be able to live forever and ever! ! !
