I will come to you
The sky was clear and hazy, and faintly visible high up, the girl in white stood quietly on a black tree trunk, her head slightly lowered, staring at them quietly, her eyes light and indifferent.
Layers of invisible barriers stood around him. Jiang Weiji paused, then chuckled and said, "I'm going to die. They've taken the elixir away."
Jiang Jingyuan heard him speak, his eyes moved slightly, and he said to Xu Qinglin in his mind: "Xu Qinglin, go help him."
Xu Qinglin, who had just recovered, responded: "......?"
Jiang Jingyuan looked at the scene at the bottom of the cliff and said, "Jiang Weiji can't die alone, otherwise Xu Xianlin will take the elixir and come to steal my blood seal."
Xu Qinglin was about to sigh, but then he suddenly thought of something. He restrained his expression and mood, calmly responded "Okay", and said: "Then think about the blood seal again." As the clouds and mist reached down, her figure appeared out of thin air at the bottom of the cliff.
Xu Xianlin immediately turned his gaze and stared at her coldly for a while. Suddenly, a sinister smile appeared on his face, and he said with a hint of gnashing teeth, "Xu Qinglin, it just so happens..."
Xu Qinglin took two steps back calmly.
"For the past three hundred years, I've wanted to beat you up but I've never found a place to find you. Now you just happened to show up right here!!!"
Xu Xianlin's figure flashed, he shouted softly, holding a beautiful long sword in his hand, and the whole person appeared in front of her in an instant.
The long sword stabbed straight towards her neck!
"Shit!" Xu Qinglin's pupils suddenly shrank, and he quickly dodged to the side. He thought to himself, "Hasn't Xu Xianlin always boasted of being noble and refined? Why is he just coming at me with his sword without even the slightest greeting?"
She hasn't fought in three hundred years!
Xu Qinglin was filled with grief.
The cold light was sharp, and there were bursts of sounds of breaking through the air. The beautiful long sword that looked very familiar kept humming. Each move was superb, and a brutal aura burst out, one after another.
Xu Qinglin didn't even have a chance to fight back for a while. He was almost completely trapped in the opponent's rhythm and could only dodge again and again.
She tried to distance herself again and again, but the exquisite sword in front of her didn't give her the chance at all. It kept whistling closer, forcing her to retreat again and again but not letting her escape.
"Bang!" Xu Qinglin retreated repeatedly, and his back slammed against the rock. However, the cold light was already approaching his eyes!
Xu Xianlin, dressed in white and blue, appeared ethereal, his eyes cold and sharp, and he slashed down with the long sword in his hand! "Bang! Crash!" The grass, trees, and rocks suddenly shattered to the ground, raising a large cloud of gray sand and white mist.
A wisp of grayish-white mist slipped out carefully and quickly.
The dusty clouds rose straight up, fleeing towards the girl in white, and dived behind Jiang Jingyuan, retreating into the killing range of the magic weapon.
Jiang Jingyuan was caught off guard and met Xu Xianlin's sharp gaze: "???"
Jiang Jingyuan's face was calm, and he forgot to react. Only his dark pupils shrank slightly. After a long while, he was suddenly shocked: "Xu Qinglin!!"
In the killing realm of magic weapons, Xu Qinglin's figure slowly dissipated into clouds and mist, and he did not answer with tears in his eyes.
Jiang Jingyuan didn't know whether to continue to be shocked or something else for a moment. He said in his mind with an incredulous tone: "Xu Qinglin, you, you, you, you are just like this..."
After a pause, she suddenly thought of Xu Qinglin's understanding and thoughtfulness just now, and silently swallowed back the words she had not finished.
Jiang Jingyuan was quiet for a moment, then said calmly to Xu Xianlin below: "We won't fight anymore."
At the bottom of the cliff, there was a loud bang, and thick white smoke suddenly exploded, then fell and dissipated. Jiang Weiji was smashed between the rocks, and suddenly lowered his head and spat out a mouthful of blood and flesh. The "Mountain Building" was dim and hovered low beside him.
Jiang Jingyuan looked down and happened to see Jiang Weiji looking up.
Both of them saw strong and consistent shock, contempt, disappointment, and disdain in each other's eyes——
How can you be so useless!
Asking you for help is a waste of my energy!
"Well, now we really have no chance of fighting..." Jiang Jingyuan retracted his gaze and said to Xu Qinglin, "Xu Qinglin, should we consider escaping back to Diqu City?"
Xu Qinglin, who was immersed in sorrow, suddenly felt relieved when he heard the words. He suddenly turned into a human form and looked at her.
"What Jiang Jingyuan means is..." Xu Qinglin thought blankly, "Are you still reluctant to give up the blood seal and want to give it another try..."
Instantly, helplessness, amusement, and sadness all surged into his heart, but in an instant, they transformed into a strong firmness and determination. Xu Qinglin opened his mouth slightly for a moment, then pursed his lips and smiled lightly, saying, "It doesn't matter, Jiang Jingyuan, it doesn't matter what happens."
Rare, genuine trust, understanding and support.
She has followed Jiang Jingyuan for so many years, walking the same path Jiang Jingyuan has walked, and seeing everything Jiang Jingyuan has seen. She is more familiar with and understands Jiang Jingyuan than his appearance.
Xu Qinglin sat upright in the magic weapon killing realm, looked up at the sky outside, and said softly:
"Jiang Jingyuan, I really want to promise you something, but I don't have the ability to do so. I really want to promise you that even if you are reincarnated again, I will find you, but I don't know if I will be able to find you when that time comes..."
Jiang Jingyuan was stunned for a moment, then he pursed his lips, lowered his eyes, and uttered a soft, muffled "hmm".
"People are actually too narrow-minded," Xu Qinglin said. "Even I myself would doubt whether I would still be myself in my previous life or the next."
Xu Qinglin said:
"Who will you be in your next life? Should I treat you in your next life with the same assurance and regard I gave to Jiang Jingyuan? Should I disturb your life in your next life?
"Principles and theories are just principles and theories, just like the unity of all things. Countless people understand, hear, and even clearly comprehend it. But how many people can truly live it from the heart? Maybe sometimes, but can they always do it?"
Jiang Jingyuan was silent, and his hand holding the blood seal loosened unconsciously, then tightened little by little.
She lowered her head, burying it lower and lower, while Xu Qinglin raised his head. No one noticed that their faces were showing the same rare expression.
All things are originally without desires or demands, but after they come into being, they learn and master the first thing without any instruction - fear.
Fear of the disappearance of the consciousness of "I".
"Xu Qinglin." Jiang Jingyuan's voice suddenly calmed down and became slightly dry as he said, "I will become an immortal."
Jiang Jingyuan said, "I will become an immortal. I will remember everything, no matter if it's in this life or the next. As long as I become an immortal, I will remember everything and I will come to find you."
This is a promise.
Xu Qinglin lowered his head and said, "Okay."
Jiang Jingyuan blinked, calming his chaotic thoughts. He looked up at the invisible barriers around him, then looked down again with serious concentration.
Since it's time to think about the next life, why should she run away in such a hurry?
It doesn't mean giving up completely, but even if you want to escape, you have to understand everything at the bottom of the cliff first, and then run or consider other things!
At the bottom of the cliff, above the large number of fallen figures, one figure after another was struggling to stand, their eyes sharp and alert to their surroundings.
The ancient altar was dilapidated and collapsed. Xu Xianlin walked up step by step, walked to the center of the altar, and stretched out his hand.
The bright red and purple round pill quietly floating in the air suddenly moved and flew straight into her open hands.
A gentle breeze blew, and her white and blue veil fluttered in the air.
The rustling of golden bells is melodious.
Xu Xianlin's expression was indifferent, even more so than ever before, a calmness that had settled. She brought the lustrous, reddish-purple round pill to her lips and swallowed it.
In an instant, everyone on and off the cliff fixed their eyes on her, not daring to blink.
Even Jiang Jingyuan couldn't help but hold his breath and concentrate, his heart skipping a beat and beating wildly in his ears.
Suddenly, the wind coming and going at the bottom of the cliff gathered towards Xu Xianlin at the center of the altar, circling high and low around her, blowing her black hair and robes, and her golden bells and gold jewelry shaking and colliding, making bursts of crisp sounds.
Xu Xianlin stood calmly in the wind.
In the next moment, the gold in her right eye became increasingly intense, and then the light ink in her left eye was also rapidly dyed with gold at a speed visible to the naked eye, becoming increasingly intense.
It was so intense that it couldn't get any stronger, and it actually turned into a deep black!
Xu Xianlin's expression suddenly changed.
Her face twisted in pain, she suddenly raised her hand to cover her heart, and opened her mouth to spit out a mouthful of blood.
Blood continued to flow out of her mouth, and her body gradually became tense and stiff.
Everyone was shocked, and the people from Beigui Shuangque suddenly rushed forward, supported her, and protected her, their faces full of panic.
The light in front of his eyes flickered, and bursts of sounds from all directions overlapped. Xu Xianlin could not distinguish them and did not have the strength to distinguish them. He just felt that his internal organs were burning in flames.
She leaned against the crowd, sweat dripping from her face. She instinctively trembled as she uttered a weak call:
"Master, mother...Master..."
High in the sky, a familiar sight is cast from thousands of miles away.
"Master's wife! Master's wife!"
Xu Xianlin could no longer conceal her excitement. Her eyes, burning with heat and as if about to burn, began to water. She endured the pain and called out repeatedly, "Master's wife, Master's wife..."
Her heart surged with excitement, and an invisible heat wave suddenly spread around her. Wow! In an instant, the person holding her was thrown back.
They fell to the ground and rolled around, screaming "It's so hot" and "It hurts", as if they were in a raging fire. The figures were like live fish out of water, struggling wildly on the chopping board.
"Bang!"
Losing the strength to support her, Xu Xianlin fell to the ground, trembling with tears. Her white and blue clothes were stained with dust.
Almost at the same time, the gaze from thousands of miles away disappeared.
“Master’s Wife!!!”
Xu Xianlin screamed and tried to get up to chase him, but then he suddenly fell to the ground and spit out blood.
The people outside the altar were stunned. Jiang Jingyuan and Xu Qinglin on the higher ground were also stunned. They had never expected that there would be such a sudden turn of events after she got the elixir.
"What is this?" Jiang Jingyuan asked subconsciously, "Xu Xianlin... has... an old illness?"
Xu Qinglin was stunned for a moment before he instinctively replied, "I don't know if she has any pre-existing illness, but... there might be something wrong with this pill."
"impossible!"
A hoarse scream suddenly sounded from the bottom of the cliff. Jiang Jingyuan was startled and almost thought that he had shouted out what was in his heart.
Jiang Weiji sat down among the grass, trees and rocks, covered in blood, staring at the scene in the center of the altar with wide eyes, his eyes full of disbelief and deep, imperceptible despair.
He couldn't stop shaking all over, muttering to himself: "Impossible, absolutely, impossible..."
Jiang Jingyuan also thought it was impossible.
This elixir was refined by Zhao Ningyu. Xu Xianlin must understand the importance of it. The things added can only maintain the refining and formation of the elixir. It is impossible to add any medicinal materials at will!
There’s something wrong with the pill… It can’t be that there’s something wrong with Zhao Ningyu’s strange body… ?
