"I don't know." Wen Jing stared blankly at the starry night sky.

"Changsun Liupin was Qingxuzi's favorite disciple, and inherited the Five Elements Return to Origin Sword Technique. After eight hundred years of cultivation in the lower spirit world, he finally entered the Refining Void period and went to the upper spirit world. The upper spirit world was a hundred times more brutal than the lower spirit world, and Changsun Liupin was unable to cope with it. He was outnumbered and weak, and was seriously injured in a melee and on the verge of death. At this time, he was rescued by an old friend and brought back to his side."

"Was the person who rescued him Qingxuzi?"

"That's right. At that time, Qingxuzi was accompanied by a giant python transformed into a human form, as well as several other fellow disciples. After not seeing each other for a thousand years, they were naturally overjoyed to meet again. Qingxuzi accepted Changsun Liupin as his disciple again, and sent him to one of the ten major Taoist sects in the upper spiritual world, and took good care of him. From then on, Changsun Liupin had protection and could finally concentrate on cultivation."

"Yeah." Wen Jing's eyes were a little moist, "The big turtle didn't have such good luck, I couldn't protect it."

"After seven or eight hundred years, Qingxuzi finally succeeded in overcoming the calamity and ascended to heaven. This was a great thing, but a few years later, a tragic thing happened."

"What tragedy?"

Jun Yanzhi pondered for a moment and said, "Let's not talk about what the tragedy was, but because of this tragedy, Qingxuzi offended the Emperor Ziwei, and his soul was banished to the secular world, never to return in his lifetime. The soul of the giant python dissipated and no one knew where it went. The eldest grandson Liupin was worried, not knowing where the giant python had gone. At this time, an old friend of Qingxuzi found him."

"What old friend?"

"This old friend was originally a... friend of Qingxuzi. At that time, he had already transcended the tribulation and cultivated to become a true immortal, and was called the Immortal Master Wangzun. You must know that there are different levels of true immortals. Wangzun practiced in seclusion all year round. When Qingxuzi got into trouble, he was still in the cave, but he noticed it immediately. He counted with his fingers and understood the general situation. He was anxious and had no one to discuss with, so he came to find Changsun Liupin."

"What happened next?"

"The Purple Star Emperor is one of the four guardian gods, and no one dares to offend him. Wang Zun and his eldest grandson Liu Pin were helpless and could only wait for the right time. More than a thousand years later, Qingxu Zi had reincarnated countless times in the secular world, but was controlled by the way of heaven and could not live past the age of fifteen in each life. At this time, the anger of the Purple Star Emperor gradually subsided, and the spiritual world was in a great calamity. It was a time when the cold and murderous aura was everywhere and the demons were in power. Wang Zun bravely asked the Purple Star Emperor to summon Qingxu Zi back to heaven."

Wen Jing was stunned: "What happened next?"

"The Emperor Ziwei said that it's okay to call Qingxu back to heaven, but after a thousand years of reincarnation, with the devil in power, the soul of the giant python in the lower spirit world might be waiting for an opportunity to be reborn. Let Qingxu kill the giant python, and then his soul will be scattered, and he can return to heaven."

Wen Jing's lips trembled slightly: "Brother, what you mean is..."

Jun Yanzhi's eyes were slightly moist: "Wang Zun was eager to summon Qingxu back, so he agreed, but it was difficult to let Qingxu kill the giant python. He thought about it for a long time, and finally set up a plan, but he needed the help of one person."

"What help?"

"Wang Zun is only a true immortal who has attained Taoism for hundreds of years. His cultivation is still shallow, so it is difficult for him to recall Qingxuzi from the secular world. However, he can send a person's soul into the secular world and guide the soul to bring Qingxuzi back. So, he found Changsun Liupin."

Wen Jing was slightly surprised: "Didn't Changsun Liupin want to commit suicide?"

"Yes. When Changsun Liupin heard that he could bring Qingxuzi back, he was overjoyed and committed suicide with a sword. He had already reached the tribulation period at that time, and thousands of years of cultivation were destroyed in an instant. It happened that Qingxuzi's deadline of fourteen years old had arrived, and Changsun Liupin was sent to the secular world by Wang Zun to bring him back."

"Then what? "

"The plan set by Wang Zun was to make Qingxuzi misunderstand the giant python and then kill him. Changsun Liupin was reluctant at first, but he could not stand the threat from Wang Zun and agreed to help him once. He knew that Qingxuzi would most likely not kill the giant python, so he asked Wang Zun to agree that if this plan failed, Qingxuzi and the giant python would be left to fend for themselves in the lower spirit world and would not continue to cause trouble. "

"So that's how it is. The voice when I died was..." "

After Zhangsun Liupin took Qingxuzi back, because he had an appointment with Wangzun and was worried that Qingxuzi was still young and couldn't cope with it, he transformed himself into a restriction in his mind, reminding him of the dangers around him at any time. However, neither he nor Wangzun expected that when he committed suicide, his spirit left the secular world, but his soul survived, wandering around with nowhere to go. At that time, a female turtle was laying eggs, and the soul attached itself to one of the eggs and was reincarnated from then on."

Wen Jing stared at him in a daze.

"The soul has no memory, consciousness, or wisdom. After the turtle was born, it was no different from other turtles and lived a confused life. Unexpectedly, more than ten years later, it met the reincarnated giant python, and stayed by his side and refused to leave. "

Wen Jing nodded slightly.

"This turtle originally belonged to Qingxuzi, so it was naturally closer to Qingxuzi. Later, Qingxuzi went up the mountain, and after they met, the turtle naturally left the giant python and stayed by Qingxuzi's side again. "Jun Yanzhi touched Wen Jing's head, "I guess, although the turtle has been ignorant and unconscious, it must have been happy in the past few years. "

Wen Jing's lips trembled slightly: "Senior brother, could it be that I really am..."

Jun Yanzhi interrupted him softly: "The secret cannot be revealed, you just listen to a story."

"Well." Wen Jing asked again, "Where is the soul of Changsun Liupin? He turned into a barrier to protect Qingxuzi, but later he said he had accomplished his mission and was ready to retire, and he disappeared. "

Jun Yanzhi pondered for a moment before saying, "When Changsun Liupin committed suicide, he was still in a physical body. Wang Zun found a physical body for him in the upper spirit world, waiting for Changsun Liupin's soul to join him."

Wen Jing's eyelashes trembled, "In other words, if the big turtle dies, its soul will go to the upper spirit world to join its original spirit and cultivate again?"

"Yes." Jun Yanzhi lowered his head.

"How do you know all this?"

Jun Yanzhi said softly, "Remember the jade slip in your storage bag? I don't know where you got it from. The big turtle brought it out to me, and then I knew it was given to me by Yousi. "

Wen Jing lowered his head and thought: "The jade slip was searched from Wen Renmu."

Where did Wen Renmu go? I haven't seen him for a long time.

Wen Jing sat up slowly, looked into the distance for a while, and suddenly sighed softly: "The big turtle is really dead, right? Go to meet his original soul?"

Jun Yanzhi took a deep breath: "Not bad..."

Wen Jing sat there in a daze for a while, and slowly lowered his head: "Will we meet it again?" "

... You practice well, and we will meet again one day after we go to the spirit world in the future."

Wen Jing lowered his head slightly: "Yeah."

Jun Yanzhi slowly pulled him up: "The body of the big turtle is in your room. The corpse is still warm. Let's go and bury it together, okay?"

Wen Jing said nothing, but he let Jun Yanzhi lead him forward.

Even though he knew that the soul of the big turtle was immortal and was waiting for him in another world, he was still reluctant to let it go. The room was missing the figure crawling around, and he always felt that something was missing. If he hadn't met it at the beginning, he naturally didn't know its goodness, nor did he know what he had missed, but now he has become accustomed to its existence and knows its goodness, and he can't bear it when he loses it.

The two of them landed silently on the open space in front of Wen Jing's door. The night wind was cold and blew the door shaking.

At this moment, the body of the big turtle was lying in the room.

Wen Jing's eyes were wet, and the sadness accumulated for a day finally surged up and drowned him layer by layer. He only felt at this moment that he would never see her again...

Jun Yanzhi stood quietly behind him.

Wen Jing sobbed for a long time, and finally wiped his eyes and said in a hoarse voice: "Brother, I'm ready, let's go in."

"Yes."

Wen Jing opened the door with a trembling hand, and the wind passed through the gap, cold.

The big turtle should be lying motionless on the bed...

Suddenly, something quickly crawled over under his feet and hit Wen Jing's legs.

Wen Jing's heart shuddered, and he picked up the basin-sized thing on his legs, shouting in disbelief: "What is this? Huh...? Not dead? Not dead..."

The big turtle twisted and rubbed excitedly.

"How is it possible? Is it mine?" Wen Jing turned the big turtle over and held it on its back, examining it carefully under the moonlight, and said in a daze, "Brother, it is really mine, look, there is my signature..."

Jun Yanzhi's expression froze, and he looked into the dark room: "It seems to be swimming?"

Wen Jing's expression also moved, and he hugged the big turtle tightly and calmed down. The big turtle could not react, and continued to twist in a daze.

The room was silent for a long time, and finally, a man's deep voice sounded: "After the soul leaves the turtle body, it goes to the spirit world to meet the original spirit? Nonsense."

Jun Yanzhi pursed his lips tightly.

Wen Jing was stunned: "What do you mean?"

"It is easy for the soul to come to the lower spiritual world from the upper spiritual world, but how is it possible to go upstream? After Changsun Liupin's soul left Qingxuzi, it had already hidden in the turtle body, but there are many restrictions in the lower spiritual world, and it has to go to the upper spiritual world to merge. If it died, the soul was broken, and the soul was reincarnated, how could you see it again?"

Wen Jing couldn't help but glance at Jun Yanzhi, and said softly: "Just now you..."

The man in the darkness said again: "He deceived you again and again, and you are still obsessed. If you had killed him with a sword, you could have ascended to the heaven with me long ago. Why did you have to suffer this training?"

Jun Yanzhi's eyelashes trembled slightly and lowered his head slightly.

Wen Jing said anxiously: "You Si, you took great pains to bring me back, this favor will never be forgotten! But you set up a trap that almost killed Jun Yanzhi, I will also... Who are you to me?"

The man did not speak for a long time.

Finally, his voice became hoarse, and he seemed to be a little embarrassed: "What kind of senior brother is he to you? I am your senior brother." "......?" "You were born in the upper spirit world, and you are the son of the master." You Si paused for a moment, and then said, "I just like to bully you since I was a child, and I have never been bad to you. I didn't expect that after you traveled in the lower spirit world for two hundred years, you brought back a snake and never got close to me again."
