Chapter 140 Luo Wei
◎Death◎
"Kill me! Quickly!"
Sweat covered the wrinkles on his face. Luo Wei grabbed Shi Hanqiao's hand, and runes appeared faintly on the back of his hand, which was like orange peel.
There were two broken wine jars beside her.
"What's going on?"
Shi Hanqiao came out of the secret realm and just returned to the valley, he found that the spiritual field was destroyed and there were traces of fighting in the mountain.
She hurried back to the cabin, but saw Luo Wei sitting cross-legged in a closed formation.
Obviously, the sealing formation could not alleviate the pain she was enduring. Her hair was disheveled, her face was pale, and her body was shaking uncontrollably.
"I can't control her anymore, hurry up!"
Luo Wei drew out Shi Hanqiao's sword, and her eager eyes suddenly turned into hatred, and she stabbed at her with the sword in her hand.
"What's that in your hand?"
Shi Hanqiao dodged her attack, grabbed the back of her hand, and stared at the runes on it.
——Symbiosis Talisman.
She asked hurriedly, "What's on you? I'll go get the ingredients!"
"Shi Hanqiao, I'll kill you!"
A huge hatred burst out from the old man's throat, but her tone was completely different from her usual one.
Luo Wei is about a thousand years old, but in the world of cultivation, there are countless people older than her.
Most of those people have transformed themselves into handsome appearances. Male cultivators pursue handsomeness, while female cultivators pursue beauty. In the end, they all maintain the appearance of ordinary people in their twenties.
Luo Wei is also fine.
But she didn't.
Practitioners can achieve longevity, but they cannot achieve immortality.
Luo Wei believes that life and death are determined by fate. She has her own firm faith in the Tao and follows the will of heaven without forcing anything.
She calmly accepted the traces of time that had been left on her body. They were traces of time's existence. From them, she could comprehend the meaning of man, nature, time and space. Her mentality had also changed from that of other cultivators.
In the chaotic Three Realms, she stays away from all forces and sympathizes with innocent ordinary people.
Without destroying cause and effect, Luo Wei tries her best to help the weak, even if the people she helps are just a drop in the bucket compared to all the suffering people.
Shi Hanqiao once said that she was just wasting her time, what was the point in saving those people, there were so many humans affected by the cultivators, it was impossible to save them all.
Luo Wei was not angry either. She seemed to always be patient and good-tempered.
The old man simply turned around and faced the young Shi Hanqiao, looking at her gently but firmly. "If you can save as many people as you can, at least the person you save and their family and friends won't despair."
"I know full well that I don't have the ability to save the world, and I also know that the suffering in this world is endless. But without violating cause and effect or disrupting the order of heaven and earth, I still want to do my best to help those who donated money."
When he was little, Han Qiao once said sarcastically, "Then you really have good intentions."
Luo Wei pretended not to hear the irony and thanked her with a smile.
Han Qiao followed along most of the time when she was little, but she never offered to help, nor did she ask for his help.
Luo Wei always believed that everyone is an independent individual, everyone's Tao heart is different, and her Tao may not be suitable for others.
She never forced Shi Hanqiao.
There is no such thing as hard coercion or soft coercion through moral kidnapping.
She just did her best to be herself and provided an environment and nutrients for Shi Hanqiao's growth.
The old man was not her elder, but a friend who had watched over her as she grew up.
Indeed, Han Qiao had ulterior motives when Luo Wei adopted him.
Initially the old man wanted to kill her as a child, but she couldn't do it.
When she was young, Shi Hanqiao knew nothing, she had done nothing, and she had been tortured since she was born.
She also knows that her birth was a mistake, but she still struggles to survive.
Luo Wei couldn't convince herself that the little girl struggling to survive was the demon who would destroy the world as predicted.
In the prophecy, the three realms are filled with a sea of fire, with humans, demons, and monsters crying for help. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is hell.
The dirty little girl in front of him opened her cold eyes, as if confirming the demon above the flames in the pre-pressure.
But Luo Wei couldn't ignore the confusion that flashed across her eyes. Even when she later said that she was pretending, the old man didn't feel bad about being deceived.
Luo Wei felt her "sincerity". When she expressed her calculations in a tone that normal people could not accept, the old man really felt her sincerity.
She was telling the truth, revealing her own precocity.
When a seven-year-old child speaks frankly about his plans and goals, and has successfully disguised himself and deceived adults before.
Normal people would only feel horrified and think that this child is an alien!
Children are all ignorant, some are naughty, and some are well-behaved. After all, this is the majority, and this is normal.
People have subconsciously categorized children into smart, stupid, well-behaved, and naughty ones.
These small classifications are harmless, but the more serious ones are: normal and abnormal.
Those who are abnormal are outliers.
Yet people believe in one sentence.
Those who are not of my race must have different hearts.
Anyone else who faced the seven-year-old Shi Hanqiao would believe that she was the demon predicted to destroy the three realms.
At this time, people would rather kill three thousand people by mistake than let one go.
But Luo Wei doesn't know that, she believes in following the laws of nature.
She is not one of those cultivators who only care about improving their strength and ignore other things. She has traveled to many places, seen many things and many people, and experienced great joys and sorrows, which eventually led to her becoming what she is today.
She was still shocked by the little girl's words, but she felt her honesty.
Luo Wei adopted her with the original intention of keeping her under his watch and preventing her from growing into the demon in the prophecy.
Later on, they became like family.
The old man was once worried that she would become possessed by evil spirits because of her childhood experiences, and this worry continued until Taoist Wubei was frightened to death by Shi Hanqiao.
From then on, her life remained the same as before, without any change.
On weekdays, they live in an isolated valley, planting large areas of spiritual plants and medicinal herbs, close to nature.
However, they both have their own lives. Luo Wei often goes out of the valley to practice medicine and save people, while Shi Hanqiao is keen on exploring various secret realms and collecting various magical weapons.
But Luo Wei still did not let his guard down.
However, it was not towards Shi Hanqiao, but towards the book that showed her the prophecy.
The book needs Shi Hanqiao's blood to open, proving that it is indeed her book.
Luo Wei could only see the first page, which was the life-changing talisman. Later, she compared it with Shi Hanqiao's handwriting and confirmed that it was her who drew it.
However, the blank space next to the life-changing talisman had words like 'Kill Shi Hanqiao' written on it.
Luo Wei was sure that the handwriting was her own, but she was even more certain that she had never written these words.
Her worry shifted from Shi Hanqiao to the incident itself, a very scary fact - someone wanted to use her to get rid of Shi Hanqiao.
This person must know her very well, as he could have used the insect to deliver the book to her in the Medical Valley and let her see the "prophecy".
That person knew that with her personality, she would never sit idly by after seeing the 'prophecy'.
Luo Wei couldn't find any clues and had no idea where to start, so he had to put the matter aside and live his life as usual.
That day, she came back from rescuing someone and received a message from the Blue Bird. Shi Hanqiao also came out of the secret realm and would be back in the evening.
The old man brought back two jars of good wine from the back mountain, intending to have a few drinks with his family in the evening.
When I returned to the cabin, I saw a young woman standing in the yard.
Luo Wei was doubtful, but still stepped forward to ask.
"Miss, did you get lost in the mountains?"
The old man's gentle pupils suddenly constricted, magnifying the woman's appearance after she turned around - her appearance when she was young.
The wine jar fell, bringing the surprised Luo Wei back to reality.
"You gave me this book?!"
"You disappoint me so much!"
Young Luo Wei's eyes were filled with resentment, as if a sharp sword was about to cut through the gentleness in the old man's eyes.
She accidentally fell into this world and specifically gave a hint to her 'self' here, asking him to kill Shi Hanqiao while she was still young.
Young Luo Wei used up all his spiritual power to make the insect pass the book to the old Luo Wei, and he himself fell into a deep sleep.
She thought that the old man Luo Wei could easily kill the devil, but she didn't expect that the old man Luo Wei actually adopted Shi Hanqiao!
"She will destroy this tribe of Gu doctors, she will kill Nan Gu! She will destroy the three realms! She will destroy humans, monsters, and demons, no one will be able to escape!"
"You have personally nurtured a demon! She will kill everyone and destroy the entire cultivation world!"
"She will kill Nangu!!! She will kill your parents!!! She will kill your children!!!"
Young Luo's eyes were red, a sign of being possessed.
The old man frowned, and she grasped the key point: "Nangu? Child?"
Nan Gu is from the Gu Doctor Clan, and is also her childhood sweetheart.
If it weren't for that incident, she wouldn't frown when she thought of him now.
The tribe wanted them to form a bond, and they had feelings for each other, but she wanted to see the outside world.
Later, the old man Luo Wei followed his heart and left the Gu doctor tribe to travel.
Before leaving, she tried to test Nangu, asking him if he would like to go with her, but he refused.
Nan Gu is one of the sons of the Gu Doctor Clan leader. If he leaves, his brothers will have a greater chance of taking over.
He chose to stay.
A young person's first love is always pure and passionate. The old woman Luo Wei is reluctant to let go, but she respects Nan Gu's choice.
She decided to travel the outside world alone.
But Nan Gu asked her to stay for him and form a bond with him.
In this way, he will gain the support of Luo Wei's parents and have a greater chance of becoming the patriarch.
At that moment, the young man in the eyes of the old man Luo Wei suddenly became mature and unfamiliar.
It was so strange that it frightened her.
An unprecedented intuition alerted her, and she gently and thoughtfully agreed to his request. Then she told her parents that she planned to leave early, and ran away with her bag on her back overnight.
Before leaving the territory of the Gu Doctor Clan, she met Nan Gu and his men who were looking for her. Hiding behind a giant tree, she heard his conversation with the military advisor.
Nan Gu was still hesitant: "Her parents also know that she wants to go out."
"So we have to send someone to capture her." The military advisor comforted him, "Don't worry, I've had the search team change into outside clothes and pretend that someone outside had kidnapped her."
"Think about it, without her parents' support, how would you compete with your other brothers?!"
Nan Gu's mother has no power, but the other wives of the clan leader have their own power behind them.
Seeing Nan Gu still hesitated, the military advisor said, "Let's lock her up for a few days. But she'll also understand how terrifying the outside world is under our protection. She'll naturally not want to travel outside in the future. Besides, her parents will definitely not allow her to leave by then."
"Just think about it, it's so dangerous for a girl like her to go out. There are so many cultivators out there, and their hearts are complicated. We are helping her."
Nan Gu: "But she is looking forward to going out."
The military advisor tried to say all the nice things he could, but when he saw that he still wouldn't listen, his tone turned cold.
"But once she's gone, your chance is gone."
Silence filled the air for a while before Nan Gu's voice was heard.
"You're right. People out there are really too complicated. Luo Wei is so innocent. What if she gets cheated?"
"We're helping her, aren't we?" he murmured.
The military advisor's eyes flashed with mockery, and he replied, "Of course."
"Then send someone to look for it."
Luo Wei felt extremely unfamiliar with Nan Gu's voice, just like the first time she heard it.
Later, she left the Gu Doctor Clan and traveled outside for several years, communicating with her family through a spirit bird.
She lived a comfortable life, met many people and made many friends along the way, and also experienced several relationships, some good, some sad.
Many people asked her if she could stay for them, but no one offered to go with her.
Fortunately, they did not force her to stay.
Although Luo Wei was able to protect herself at that time, she would still be emotionally hurt if someone forced her to stay.
She has met good people, bad people, happy things, sad things, too many to count.
She was born free and lives free.
On the road to freedom, she listened to the voices of people and nature and found her own heart of Tao.
It was on this road that she released the spell that bound her appearance and body, felt the passage of time on her body, and touched the most mysterious laws of time and space between heaven and earth.
Many things cannot be forced. She has no intention of exploring the mysteries of the laws and focuses on her original intention - practicing medicine and saving lives.
It was not until she saw her younger self that Luo Wei remembered the mystery of the laws of time and space that she had inadvertently sensed.
She understood that the young Luo Wei in front of her was 'her' from another world.
Parallel worlds should not intersect, but under special circumstances, they will intersect.
The old man, Luo Wei, looked at her with pity and said, "You stayed in the Gu Doctor Clan and were still with Nan Gu? You even had a child?!"
"Of course, Nan Gu is doing this for my own good. We have two lovely children!"
Speaking of family, the bloodshot in her eyes faded. She looked up and down at the old man Luo Wei, who had not transformed, and said, "I wanted to say this to you last time. How come you don't know how to dress yourself?"
"Nangu likes me the way I am now." She touched the corners of her wrinkled eyes, and suddenly thought of something, looking at her old face with disdain, "How can you win over that bitch Cangyue like this?"
The old man Luo Wei looked at the young-looking Luo Wei in disbelief. She was her, and she was not her.
Cangyue is a good friend of the old man Luo Wei, and the two still keep in touch.
The old man still remembered that Cang Yue had written in her last letter that she and her demon companion had decided to go to the Arctic Ocean to watch the sunrise and moonrise.
The old man looked at her and said, "Cang Yue is our friend!"
"No!" Young Luo Wei's eyes were filled with hatred. "Since the day she seduced Nan Gu, we've stopped being friends! The same goes for everyone else!"
According to the information revealed in the young Luo Wei's words, the old man could infer her life after staying in the Gu Doctor Clan, where she gradually lost her freedom and herself and became a vassal of Nan Gu.
"That Nangu betrayed you! Why didn't you leave him?!"
Not knowing the full picture, the old woman rarely advises others. She always believes that everyone has his or her own path, and if she cannot wake up, others can only help her temporarily but not forever.
But the young woman in front of him had the same appearance as she had in her early years, and was also 'herself' in another world.
Therefore, the old man Luo Wei went beyond the rules to remind her.
Although she knew that the young-looking Luo Wei might be about the same age as her, or perhaps even older.
Young Luo Wei roared as if his reverse scale was touched.
"Nangu didn't betray me! He loves me! I love him too! It was another woman who seduced him!"
"It's all Shi Hanqiao! In order to seize the Gu, she destroyed the Gu doctor clan, killed Nan Gu, killed everyone else, and destroyed the three realms!"
"The three realms are engulfed in flames, and no one is spared! They are all hers! How can she still ascend?"
Young Luo Wei grinned and said, "But she ruined my happiness, so she won't be able to be happy either!"
She took advantage of Shi Hanqiao's ascension, passed through the gate of time and space, and came to another world.
In that world, she secretly controlled the poisonous insects to attack the crumbling empire, and ultimately destroyed Shi Hanqiao's happiness.
She didn't care how many innocent people died in the process. She only knew that the evil Shi Hanqiao was not dead yet and had opened the door of time and space again.
Now she knew that there was no ascension in this world, only differences in time and space.
On her way to the past, she picked up the notebook dropped by Shi Hanqiao, but lost it with just one slow step and fell into the parallel time and space of the present.
Young Luo Wei immediately looked for Shi Hanqiao. Seeing his tragic past, she felt extremely happy.
She even felt sorry that Taoist Wubei didn't kill Shi Hanqiao!
She wanted to do it herself, but she couldn't contact the people in this world, so she could only float like a ghost, detached from this world.
So, she came up with a way to send the "prophecy" to her own self in this world, the old man Luo Wei, in a dream, and gave her a notebook to make her believe that Shi Hanqiao was a devil, the devil who would destroy the world.
Then, kill her!
"I never thought that you actually adopted her!"
Young Luo Wei loudly rebuked Old Luo Wei, "You are a sinner of the three realms!"
She glared at the old man hatefully, as if he was the source of all her misfortunes.
"You're paranoid."
The old man's eyes were filled with helplessness and pity, perhaps because the other person was himself from another world.
She knew that they were different individuals with different souls, and the old woman couldn't help but feel extra sympathy for the young Luo Wei in front of her.
"Shi Hanqiao is the one who has become possessed! I'm going to kill her! Then, in this world, I'll be with Nan Gu, give birth to two children early so he won't be seduced by other men, and enjoy the family happiness I should have!"
The old man sighed helplessly, and couldn't help feeling sad for the young Luo Wei.
"You are so kind, you should be willing to help me."
Young Luo Wei thought of a brilliant idea. If she occupied the body of the old man Luo Wei, wouldn't she be able to come into contact with this world?
Shi Hanqiao was not on guard against the old man, so she could easily find an opportunity to kill the devil, and then change her old and ugly appearance and turn back into her younger self.
The two men fought for hundreds of rounds, from inside the yard to outside the yard, and finally back inside the yard.
The young Luo Wei deliberately exposed a flaw and waited for the old man to attack. She deliberately went forward to meet him. Through the blood of the two people merged together, she forced her soul into the old man's body, and her body instantly disappeared.
Two souls were fighting in one body. The old man Luo Wei tried his best to draw a formation to suppress himself and wait for Shi Hanqiao to come back.
Waiting for her to come back and send her off for the last time.
"You are not Luo Wei! Who are you?!"
Shi Hanqiao recognized from the tone of voice that the soul in Luo Wei's body did not belong to her, and snatched the sword away.
"Kill me! Quick!"
Luo Wei's face was twisted and ferocious, and her tone was hurried but calm, which Shi Hanqiao was familiar with.
She was stunned for a moment, but the old man immediately held her wrist and stabbed the sword into his heart.
The blood slid down the sword onto Shi Hanqiao's hand, warm and sticky, making him feel sick.
She stood there in a daze, her mind blank.
"I hope that one day, there will be peace among the three realms."
"I hope you forget what happened today and be happy!"
Luo Wei had two wishes before he died.
Shi Hanqiao achieved the former, but the latter became his inner demon for a time.
It was not until she was with Luo Wusheng that she truly understood the feelings that Luo Wei had talked about before.
Luo Wei is to her as Luo Ningyou is to Luo Wusheng.
They are elders, friends, and people who give them love.
Shi Hanqiao stepped out of the dark vortex, and the crystal stones in the cave became as bright as daylight.
After the Hunyuan Bell was integrated, he looked at the transparent coffin in the center of the cave with a surprised tone.
"Eh?! Luo Wusheng?!"
"I said, it's not him."
Shi Hanqiao recognized that the person in the coffin was the one drawn on the last page of the book.
【Author’s words】
Good night, I'm late.
