Chapter 221: Justified and Relying on Luck
"That is the legend of the fall of the immortals."
Xiao Changheng told the story slowly.
In ancient times, gods lived in the world with mortals.
Mortals pay tribute to the gods, provide them with food, clothing and daily necessities, and the gods keep the area peaceful.
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.
While those conflicts may only be a matter of victory or defeat for the immortals, the mortals involved are often instantly wiped out, with 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:
"Can mortals become immortals? When did this legend 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 before the world."
"Later, rumors began to circulate 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 nonstop just now suddenly fell silent.
After a long while, he spoke again but threw back a question:
"Last time you said my qualifications were not suitable, what was the reason?"
Yun Qingqing was stunned for a moment before she realized what he was referring to.
The last time she came back from Yunwu Mountain, she hinted to him that the gap between cultivators and ordinary people was as huge as a chasm, 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. Even if he forced himself into it, he wouldn't get far. It would be 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:
"Actually, 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've 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 softly:
"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 a burning gaze was falling on her.
She pinched her fingers, stood up and coughed lightly:
"That's pretty much all I need to know. Thank you so much for today. I'll be back to give you acupuncture tonight. I'm leaving now."
She turned and walked away, not noticing that her steps were a bit faster than usual.
"Yun Qingqing." A gentle male voice sounded lightly.
She paused without looking back.
"How about another deal?" Xiao Changheng asked.
"What?" She turned to look at the screen.
The man didn't answer immediately.
"...Please let me think about it."
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 originally planned to rest in her own courtyard for a day.
But after leaving 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 said to Mu Hongling in a baby voice:
"I want to see Father Xi~! Sister, can you please help me inform him?"
Mu Hongling was almost melted by this kid.
But who did Wawa say he was 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 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.
Slurp~
She swallowed.
At this moment, Qingjue almost got furious and quickly retreated.
"Pavilion Master! Come and see what this thing is! When did something this horrible be allowed 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 of the instrument, had keen perception and could still sense it by intuition.
But Tongtong also has Taotie bloodline!
Taotie eats everything, and his favorite is 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 rob him?
Can't scare him to death!
When the little kid heard the laughter, he immediately looked up, his eyes lit up, and he jumped and waved at her:
"Father Xi~! Hurry up and save Liangqin! Liangqin has been captured by the bad guys!"
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:
"Home!"
She thought about it and started to get angry again:
"Bad Yin broke into my house and took Liang Qin away!"
"Ah? Then how did you find your way?" Mu Hongling thought to herself that the nearby streets were all lined with shops, and the nearest house was several streets away.
This kid actually found this place by himself?
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, he would definitely come to her.
Yun Qingqing took Tongtong's hand:
"Let's go find your mother."
She also instructed 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 before, this time he directly sent the betrothal gifts.
Dozens of boxes of betrothal gifts filled the yard.
The matchmaking was unsuccessful because there was no rule of directly giving betrothal gifts.
Coupled with the bizarre remarks made by the matchmaker and the Xu family's housekeeper, it seemed as if 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 be meaningless.
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.
However, Tongtong didn't seem anxious or afraid when she came to find her. 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 worried!"
