Chapter 159 This group of favors is inappropriate (end)

When Shen Zhi opened his eyes again, he saw Ye Qing beside him, "Your Majesty?"

Ye Qing nodded, not even questioning whether Shen Zhi had met Yin Nan, and asked directly: "What did he tell you?"

Shen Zhi's eyelashes trembled. It turned out that Ye Qing sent him to see Yin Nan.

Shen Zhi tilted his head slightly and looked forward. A loud thunderbolt fell from the sky, as if it was going to tear the whole world apart.

"He asked me to take on the thunder tribulation," Shen Zhi said softly, as if he was narrating a very simple matter.

Ye Qing was stunned for a moment, then he looked up and gazed deeply at the terrifying brightness at the edge of the sky.

Ye Qing thought of something, and under Shen Zhi's puzzled gaze, he peeled off the collar at the back of his neck.

The smooth, milky white neck is slender and delicate, with a small protruding neck bone supporting the fragile skin and flesh, making it look soft and graceful. Next to it is a bright and eye-catching birthmark.

Like the gorgeous peach petals, it looks as if it has been rubbed and bitten by human lips and teeth, with a light pink hue, and the edges are so thin and transparent that they look like cicada wings.

Ye Qing's eyes darkened, and he murmured, "It's Tao Rao."

Shen Zhi had never heard of Tao Rao, so he subconsciously touched the back of his neck, "Is there something?"

Ye Qing loosened his hand and looked at Shen Zhi's face. He was sure that Shen Zhi was the person his master was looking for.

Let Shen Zhi bear the thunder tribulation, rob the benefits that Heaven gives to the Son of Destiny, use the peach to connect his own life with Shen Zhi, so that Shen Zhi's soul will be safe after being tempered by the thunder tribulation.

What a careful calculation.

"I'll help you." Ye Qing is the Gu Diao rescued by Yin Nan. He pursued the Great Dao with Yin Nan. He was framed by Xuan Xiao, the founder of Jixiao Sect, and betrayed the sect. He was hunted down by the righteous people.

Xuan Xiao pretended to be kind and compassionate, forcing Yin Nan, whose soul was shattered, to use the Chongming Mirror to fall into another world. Although he regained the Chongming Mirror and got the chance to return to the Netherworld, Yin Nan's soul was shattered again when Xuan Xiao self-destructed, and he had to fall into silence.

Yin Nan used the last bit of his strength to send the Gu Diao back to Jiuyou, and he himself stayed in the other world.

If Ye Qing wants to find Yin Nan, he can only use the Chongming Mirror. However, in order to wake up Yin Nan and bring him back to Jiuyou, Ye Qing thought of the mortal that a small piece of Yin Nan's soul fell in love with in another world.

That is the little phoenix he adopted, now Shen Zhi.

Sure enough, Shen Zhi met Yin Nan.

But Shen Zhi did not bring Yin Nan back, and Ye Qing could not guess what Yin Nan was thinking. He always just followed Yin Nan's orders.

Shen Zhi pursed his lips. He didn't know what they were deceiving him about, but he wanted to save Hu Zang, so he agreed to Ye Qing's help.

Ye Qing mobilized all the magic power in his body, lingered in his chest, and slowly forced the magic energy out of his palm and hit Shen Zhi.

Shen Zhiteng leaped into the air, and with the help of Ye Qing, he arrived under Mo Li's thunder tribulation in a moment.

Hu Zang struggled to withstand the thunder tribulation. All the bones and muscles in his body were broken, and blood was oozing out from his pores. He looked even more terrifying than the ghosts in the abyss.

Hu Zang's vision was cloudy, and he could barely make out a figure in red flying towards him.

The closer they got, the clearer it became. Hu Zang, who was enduring the severe pain of the thunder tribulation, could not make any unnecessary expressions. When he really saw who it was, his expression inevitably showed fear and pleading, "Don't... come over."

Shen Zhi was unable to walk under the thunder, and his steps left golden bloodstains on the ground.

Hu Zang looked at Shen Zhi helplessly as he walked up to him and squatted down.

"Baby, can you please leave quickly?" Hu Zang spoke with difficulty. It seemed as if he was using up all his strength to say each word. The blood on his lips flowed freely and windingly.

Even so, Hu Zang still couldn't win Shen Zhi's heart.

Shen Zhi gritted his teeth, plucked out his tail feather, and placed a red feather on Hu Zang's forehead, "You are the one who should leave. If you continue, you will die."

Hu Zang resisted Shen Zhi's actions, but the tail feather still penetrated into Hu Zang's body.

"I'm not afraid," Hu Zang shouted hoarsely, he just wanted Shen Zhihuo to die.

Hu Zang had tears in his eyes, "You can't do this to me."

He had made all the preparations just to keep Shen Zhi alive. Shen Zhi could not deprive him of his efforts and let all his achievements go to waste.

Shen Zhidu didn't understand the depth of Hu Zang's feelings, and gave him a faint response in his heart, but he didn't know if it was love.

But Shen Zhi knew that he didn't want Hu Zang to die, and he didn't want Hu Zang to die for him.

"I'm afraid," Shen Zhi looked at Hu Zang's bloodshot eyes and said seriously, "I'm afraid you'll die."

Hu Zang listened to what Little Phoenix said and wanted to laugh but he couldn't bring himself to do so.

It turned out that he had left a little mark in Shen Zhi's heart, and a certain corner in Xiao Fenghuang's heart belonged to him.

But precisely because of this little point, Shen Zhi would not give Hu Zang the chance to die for him.

Hu Zang truly regretted it. He shouldn't have appeared beside Shen Zhi and begged for Little Phoenix's love. He shouldn't have appeared from the beginning.

The thunder tribulation continued. As Hu Zang prayed desperately, Shen Zhi resolutely pushed Hu Zang out and used his original phoenix body to endure this final thunder tribulation.

At the same time, Yin Nan in the pure white space had half of his body and bones shattered.

Yin Nan took out the painting from his arms and spread it on the ground. On it, all kinds of colorful flowers competed with each other for beauty, looking extremely vivid.

Yin Nan lay beside the painting, closed his eyes, and endured the pain in his head, murmuring like a lover's whisper: "Just bear with it a little longer, and it will be fine in the next reincarnation."

Shen Zhi was engulfed in the thunder tribulation, and Hu Zang, with bloodshot eyes, rushed into the thunder tribulation, but was knocked unconscious and taken away by Ye Qing who came rushing over.

You have already experienced the past, so why force it?

Shen Zhi has already been fully tempered by the thunder tribulation and has entered the next reincarnation. He only needs to cultivate his golden body. Why would he stay in this small world?

People who practice Taoism and have reached a certain level all know that the world they live in is just a branch of the myriad changes. When they become great masters, they will have the opportunity to go to the mortal world for three thousand years to gain experience.

No one will dwell on the past or dwell on the past, as this will only lead to failure.

Ye Qing didn’t know where Shen Zhi came from. Maybe he was a being from another world stronger than Jiuyou, but it didn’t matter.

When he saw the strength of Shen Zhi's soul, he could tell that this was a strong man, someone who was very likely to reach the great way. Such a person would not stick to a small world and give up the road to heaven.

Yin Nan couldn't keep him, and neither could Hu Zang.

Ye Qing took Hu Zang out of the Chongming Mirror, and the people outside the mirror were waiting for him.

However, they will not get the desired result. Shen Zhi suffers a thunder tribulation and even his body is gone as he disappears between heaven and earth.

"I'm going back to Mingyu Palace," Ye Qing said as he scanned the crowd, "Everyone, please do as you please."

Ye Qing brought Hu Zang back to Mingyu Palace, threw him to the witch doctor for treatment, and resumed his previous empty life.

Qi Chengjing and Mo Li seemed to have disappeared since that day, and there was no trace of them. Hu Zang was injured too seriously, and he was still unconscious after being treated by a witch doctor.

Everything seems normal, but something is changing secretly.

For example, Jixiaomen announced the death of Mo Li, and a strange man appeared in Jiuyou, collecting spirit stones everywhere in order to experiment with formations.

Ye Qing's heart was still filled with the fragrance of wine and the aroma of wind, except that he would occasionally look at the Chongming Mirror to wonder if his master was still alive.

Ye Qing guessed that Shen Zhi must have gone into reincarnation, but no one could tell him the answer.

Maybe someone can.

529 entered this small world a little late. Before it found Shen Zhi to transmit his lost memories to him, it felt that Shen Zhi's power was gradually disappearing in this world.

Jiuyou is the parallel dimension closest to Shen Zhiyuan's world.

In the original world, Shen Zhi was just a whetstone given by Heaven to the Son of Destiny. Although he practiced diligently, he would never be favored by Heaven, because he was just a tool to hone the Son of Destiny.

Likewise in this world, the love bestowed upon Mo Li by Heaven is no less than that given to Shen Zhi as the son of destiny in his original world. The tempering from thunder tribulations he received in this world will be of eternal benefit to Shen Zhi.

If one wants to overcome the tribulation and ascend to heaven, then he will have a chance thanks to the protection given by Heaven.

529 The reason why Shen Zhi was thrown into this world was that he could steal the thunder tribulation given to Mo Li by the Heaven and refine himself.

As a result, Shen Zhi did receive the thunder tribulation bestowed by heaven on the son of destiny, but he was missing. This made 529 panic, and it was forced to find the person it had met in its previous experience with Shen Zhi.

"Xiaohua?" Ye Qing asked the visitor tentatively.

529 swallowed his anger and accepted Ye Qing's address, "It's me."

Ye Qing was a little confused. Although the fantasy was that his first love was a chicken, he never thought that he would see him again after returning to Jiuyou. "Are you also a person who has experienced the world?"

If we must say an identity that Ye Qing can understand, 529 can be, "Do me a favor."

Ye Qing did not refuse.

Ye Qing sent people from Mingyu Palace to look for Qi Chengjing and Mo Li.

It didn't take too long to find out the news about Qi Chengjing, and it seemed that Mo Li had really fallen as Jixiaomen said.

“Is he also a person who has experienced many worlds?” Otherwise, it would be hard for Ye Qing to imagine that Mo Li would have such an extraordinary talent.

529 did not deny.

To be more precise, Mo Li and Shen Zhi came from the same world. Mo Li was the son of destiny favored by the Heaven in Shen Zhi's original world. Otherwise, it would be useless for Shen Zhi to take on Mo Li's thunder tribulation.

The Way of Heaven is always partial. It wants those it designates to obtain the path to heaven, and is extremely harsh on others. Those who are cut off from ascending to heaven have no choice but to resort to all sorts of means to seek the opportunity that the Way of Heaven grants to the Son of Destiny.

Shen Zhi was once such a person.

However, another son of destiny favored by the heaven in that world was willing to leave all opportunities to Shen Zhi. Even so, Shen Zhi still did not get the chance to ascend.

529 Without saying much, Ye Qing not only brought back Qi Chengjing, but also brought back an unexpected person.

"Qi Yingyan?" 529 was a little surprised.

Qi Yingyan didn't recognize this unfamiliar young man, so she looked over and asked, "Do you know me?"

I guess so. 529 nodded in response.

It was now eager to find Shen Zhi. It walked towards Qi Chengjing and said, "You have Shen Zhi's blood on you, right? Give it to me."

529 There is no other way now but to use Shen Zhi's blood to find his whereabouts.

Qi Chengjing frowned slightly, he indeed did.

In order to make things difficult for him, Little Phoenix had planted a happy bug in him, which contained Shen Zhi's blood.

Now Shen Zhi was submerged in the thunderstorm and nothing was left. Qi Chengjing couldn't give him 529, "I won't give it to you."

Qi Chengjing wants to use Shen Zhi's blood to attract the soul of Little Phoenix and revive him.

529 shook his head and advised: "He is not gone. You don't have to be influenced by Hu Zang and keep him. I need to know where he is."

Qi Chengjing raised his eyes. The deep scratch on his right eyelid made him look a little fierce. He asked in a strange tone, "Do you know that I am the soul of Hu Zang?"

529 did not deliberately hide the truth from Qi Chengjing. Instead, he told him more: "Not only that, you and Hu Zang are both fragments of another person's soul. Even the Demon Lord Yin Nan, who died early in Jiuyou, is also one of them."

Qi Chengjing couldn't express his feelings. As a fragment of a soul, he could not get all of Shen Zhi's love.

"Are you going to look for him?" Qi Chengjing asked 529.

529 understood what Qi Chengjing meant, "Yes, but you can't go to that place."

"Will I be able to see him again?" If he had to wait, Qi Chengjing could wait as long as he could see Shen Zhi again.

529Thinking of those men in the space, separated and living alone in the pure white space, there is no flow of time, only hopeless waiting.

"Yes," 529 gave Qi Chengjing the best answer.

529 After Qi Chengjing's permission, Shen Zhi's blood was extracted from Qi Chengjing's body and used to find out Shen Zhi's whereabouts.

"He actually went to the real world..." Although 529 didn't understand why Shen Zhi flowed into the small world without its help, it wanted to find Shen Zhi and hide the thunder tribulation tempering on Shen Zhi's body.

529 jumped through time and space and followed the direction Shen Zhi left and entered the small world.

Qi Chengjing looked at 529 who disappeared into thin air and fell into silence.

"Do you want to resurrect him? I can help you," a weak voice came from behind Qi Chengjing, sounding powerless and dying.

Qi Chengjing turned around and looked at Hu Zang who had come out of nowhere, "I'll wait for him to come back."

Hu Zang raised his pale lips and laughed for Qi Chengjing Tianzhen, "Are you willing to wait indefinitely? What if you never see him again?"

Qi Chengjing's eyebrows jumped heavily, thinking of Hu Zang's words that would cut open his liver and pierce his heart.

"Don't do unnecessary things. Don't you understand this principle?" Qi Chengjing replied to Hu Zang.

If Hu Zang had not acted on his own initiative, Shen Zhi would have already suffered the thunder tribulation and entered the next reincarnation. Why would he have to suffer two thunder tribulations before he could leave?

When Hu Zang thought of this, a tear silently fell from his eye and he smiled bitterly: "I was wrong."

He shouldn't have been selfish and tried to keep Shen Zhi.

————

Qi Chengjing has been living in Jiuyou. The seriously injured Hu Zang died after long-term treatment. Qi Chengjing was wondering when he would die. After all, he and Hu Zang were the same person. Would he die before waiting for Shen Zhi?

Before Hu Zang died, he handed him a box, which was given to him by Qi Yingyan. Qi Yingyan thought that Qi Chengjing wanted to resurrect Shen Zhi, and brought the happy bug with Shen Zhi's blood as her last token of gratitude as a mother.

But Qi Chengjing gave up on keeping Shen Zhi, and the Happy Bug was of no use.

However, it is somewhat useful.

At least it can allow Qi Chengjing to experiment with the formation.

Qi Chengjing became more and more proficient in formation, and could easily set up a geomantic formation to besiege an entire sect.

Qi Chengjing looked at the Happy Bug that was unable to move in the ground-binding array, and inexplicably thought that if the Little Phoenix had encountered this bug, would she not have escaped?

Qi Chengjing looked up at the sky being eaten by dusk silkworms, put away the formation, put the happy insects on the ground into the box, and slowly walked towards the wooden house behind the sycamore forest.

When you open the door, you'll see only a few simple pieces of furniture.

With Ye Qing's permission, Qi Chengjing brought Old Wutong from Mingyu Palace to this uninhabited place.

Qi Chengjing planted sycamore trees in the front of the open space, and planted various bamboos in the back for the phoenix to eat and produce bamboo rice.

Old Wutong was closest to Qi Chengjing's wooden house. Qi Chengjing took out tools from the house and walked towards Old Wutong. He made a swing for Shen Zhi and hung it on Old Wutong.

The weather has been bad recently, and Qi Chengjing is worried that the swing will be damaged, so he wants to repair it.

Qi Chengjing walked to the foot of the old sycamore tree, reached out and pulled the swing, which was quite sturdy.

Shen Zhi is only a little bit heavy, so the swing is considered sturdy.

But Qi Chengjing still took it down and re-woven it because he had nothing else to do.

Qi Chengjing sat at the base of the tree, his hands deftly tangling the swing rope. The old sycamore tree was too old and could not control the falling petals, which hit Qi Chengjing with a clatter.

The flowers were so light that they did not create even the slightest ripple when they fell on the body, so the graceful flowers fell all over Qi Chengjing's body.

The tip of Qi Chengjing's nose was filled with the sweet aroma of the phoenix tree. This scent surrounded Qi Chengjing, which seeped into his lungs and filled his stomach with the fragrance of flowers. It reminded him of the smell of Shen Zhi, which was exactly the same as the phoenix tree flowers.

Qi Chengjing felt a little dazed, as if Shen Zhi had come back, but he knew that this was impossible and it was something he could not even dream of.

Qi Chengjing stood up, hung the reinforced swing on the old Wutong tree, and prepared to leave.

"Qi Chengjing, when are you going to fulfill your promise? I heard that you left the Mingyu Palace and came here. Are you planning to run around here naked?"

An arrogant voice came from above Qi Chengjing's head.

Qi Chengjing looked up in disbelief. The beautiful Que'er was holding a flower in her hand and throwing it at Qi Chengjing again and again. Her beautiful eyes and eyebrows revealed her arrogance.

"Shen Zhi?" Qi Chengjing's voice was extremely dry and sharp.

There was a cunning flash in the little phoenix's eyes. She jumped towards Qi Chengjing deliberately, but she didn't hit anyone. Instead, she was locked tightly in Qi Chengjing's arms.

Qi Chengjing held the cute bird carefully, fearing that it was just his hallucination.

Little Phoenix poked Qi Chengjing's face impatiently and asked, "Are you not going to fulfill your promise?"

The soft and real touch in his arms almost made Qi Chengjing cry.

"No, I won't lie to you," Qi Chengjing looked deeply at the lively little phoenix in his arms, "I can turn around here naked now."

Shen Zhi curled his lips after hearing this, looked Qi Chengjing up and down, and said awkwardly: "Forget it, since you have waited for me for so long, I will let you go."

Qi Chengjing didn't know what words to use to describe his current mood. Holding his lost and recovered treasure, he felt as if he was in another world.

There were too many things in Qi Chengjing's eyes, and they were too heavy, so thick that it made Shen Zhi's tear glands sore.

There are such stupid people in the world. Little Phoenix has only seen one person in the pure white space, and now he has seen the second one.

Little Phoenix looked at Qi Chengjing's red eyes, slowly buried her face in Qi Chengjing's neck, and said in a muffled voice: "I can only accompany you for twenty years, do you think it's too short?"

Twenty years? Qi Chengjing pulled out the little phoenix with wet eyes, looked at the little phoenix's expression carefully, and shook his head seriously.

It turns out that waiting for the little phoenix has a price. This actually makes Qi Chengjing feel at ease, because it is only at this moment that he can truly experience the reality that the little phoenix has really returned.

Qi Chengjing hugged him tightly again, lowered his head and kissed the little phoenix's hair, and repeated softly: "No."

Just thank you for letting me wait for you.
