Chapter 539 Carve our names on the mountains and rivers
"This should be it. It's a good place."

Zhang Chengdao stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the beautiful scenery of lush greenery below, and said to his wife and children.

"My lady, look at the lake below. That's your place."

Li Qingshu took a look and saw the calm lake surface sparkling in the sun, like a mirror, and nodded: "Yes, this is it.

It’s beautiful.”

Becoming an immortal is not an easy thing. First of all, the personnel requirements are extremely high, and not everyone can become an immortal.

The most important point is whether the Heavenly Court recognizes it, as well as leaving the body and letting the soul ascend. If it were not for Taoism's emphasis on cultivating both body and soul, it would focus on this worldly life.

How could he possibly survive the ascension ceremony?
Even so, the old Taoist priest also explained that the golden light must be higher than three inches.

Li Qingshu looked at the time. There was still some time before the Ascension Ceremony, so the family simply lay down on a sunny hillside.

With his hands behind his head, he looked at the shadows above his head, watching them still raise their heads and stare into the darkness around them, motionless.

This place is close to the border, and the darkness outside the Heavenly Palace is particularly dazzling, reminding everyone that they are not at peace now, but are on the brink of the end of the world.

As the breeze blew, the lush wild grass bent down and swayed with the wind, creating green waves on the hillside.

The sun was shining brightly, and seemingly because of the darkness around it, this precious sun was particularly brilliant.

The couple looked at Zhang Xiao with some worry. He had been silent, as if he was in deathly silence.

Ever since he told the truth about ascending to heaven, Zhang Xiao has been like this. Even Zhang Xiao doesn’t know what he is doing.

I was in a daze, as if there was a huge hole in my heart, and I felt like I was floating.

"Xiaoxiao——"

Zhang Xiao instinctively looked over in the direction of the voice and saw Zhang Chengdao pointing a hand at the sky.

Those illusory human figures are like mountains, standing silently.

"Those are the ancestors of our sect. Over the past thousands of years, countless ancestors have been willing to give up everything, return to heaven, and erase their spiritual wisdom.

It is because of them that we have the sky we have today and the vast heavenly palace.

Now mom and dad are just following the examples of their predecessors, following in their footsteps, and continuing along their path.

Just like what mom and dad said before
Since someone is destined to sacrifice for this, it is natural that the sacrifice could be us, or you."

Zhang Xiao's eyes flickered twice. He knew that what his father and mother said were right, but is it enough for the principles of the world to be right?
The reason why people are human beings, rather than cold machines, is because of their passionate and burning emotions.

"Based on what I know about your grandfather, I'm afraid that..."

Li Qingshu said in a low voice, but just when she was halfway through her words, there was a sudden shaking in the sky like the collapse of the sky.

The three people were shocked and looked up at the sky, and saw a figure flickering in the sky. The originally solid light curtain had cracked into fine cracks without knowing when.

[Heaven] can’t hold on any longer!

Zhang Xiao's eyes finally showed some spirit, a sparkling light flashed across them, and he had opened his Dharma eyes just like his parents.

"Dad, Mom, how long can Heaven last?"

In Fa's eyes, the faces of those figures were still calm, but the degree of solidity had weakened a lot. On the huge light curtain, the cracks were spreading and deepening with every second.

Zhang Chengdao and Li Qingshu's faces changed. Even though the Taoist sect had decided to sacrifice most of its strength, if the Heavenly Court couldn't hold on first, then everything would be in vain.

"I'm afraid that the Heavenly Court can't hold on any longer. There's no time left."

The crowd gathered in front of the station has become a mess. Or maybe it's not just the station, everyone in China has noticed the changes in the sky.

Despair began to spread once again, and this emotion seemed to hook the darkness outside. They were ready to move, and hit the light curtain again and again, causing the light curtain, which was already overwhelmed, to emit a louder shattering sound than before.

Xu Laogen held Gou Wa tightly. His wife no longer had the fierceness she had before. She just held her husband's sleeve anxiously, not daring to relax at all.

The people around were either crying and screaming madly, running around aimlessly, or frantically attacking everything in front of them to vent their fear.

More people were staring blankly at the sky, not caring about anything happening around them.

The soldiers who maintained order tried their best. The rigorous training and iron-like discipline and spirit allowed them to suppress the fear in their hearts.

But their shouts had no effect at all. They could only hold hands and circle those who wanted to run away.

Xu Laogen looked around helplessly. He was now the backbone of Gou Wa and his wife, but who was his backbone?
His eyes moved back and forth, then slowly stopped and focused on the military camp in the distance.

They are the Republic's sharpest sword, the strongest shield, and the Great Wall of flesh and blood standing in front of everyone.

Can you save us again?

Two-Bar Three looked anxiously at the light curtain that was getting closer and closer, and the soldiers who were constantly retreating. He had never felt so aggrieved before.

The light curtain's shrinking speed was beyond imagination. It was originally estimated to take more than 10 hours, but only two hours had passed and it was less than two kilometers away from the train station.

But there are still a large number of people at the station.

How to do?
He took off his military cap and held it tightly. It would be better for him to charge even if there was an enemy than to watch his slow death.

"Is there really no solution?"

Zhengwei asked in a low voice, and Two Bars Three knew who he was asking.

He was a young Taoist priest who looked to be in his twenties and was said to be from some Taoist sect.

They have a deep understanding of the darkness outside and the light curtain.

I don’t know what Taoism is, but my superiors said that I can be a consultant and I can ask if I don’t understand anything. I’m very welcome to do so.

So now when I encounter a problem, the natural thing is to ask a professional.

The young Taoist priest swallowed nervously and shook his head, with a hint of weakness and pain in his eyes:
"There is no other way. If you want to stabilize the Heaven Palace - oh, this wall of light, the only way is to complete the Heaven Palace.

The Heavenly Master has made his decision, and my master and brother are willing to die, but I'm afraid it's too late."

The young Taoist priest may not have experienced anything too big yet, as the world was much better before.

In the past, it could be said that the country was peaceful and the people were prosperous.

He choked up and said, "Master and the others have clearly decided to die. But why? Why?"

Zhengwei stared at him sharply and asked in a low voice:

"What do you mean? Is there a way to strengthen and maintain this light wall?"

The young Taoist nodded and said, "Yes, but it's too late. There is not enough time. The Ascension Ceremony will take at least another hour."

"Then how can we delay this time?"

Zhengwei asked.

"I, I don't know," the little Taoist priest stammered.

Two-bar three suddenly said in a deep voice: "Change your thinking, destroy the enemy's manpower, one gains while the other loses, the same, now the light wall is broken, I guess it's because the pressure outside is too great.

If we reduce the pressure, can we delay time indirectly?"

The young Taoist priest looked at them in confusion. This was true, but
"So. What is that thing out there? Is there any way we can attack it?"

Two Bars and Three clenched his fists tightly and stared at the little Taoist priest, paying close attention to every word he said.

The young Taoist priest was startled. Fight back?

How could they fight back? Even the Dao Sect had never thought of fighting back.
But he still desperately thought about what his master told him before he set out: "We call the things outside the world kalpas.
I don’t know the specific cause, but my master said that it was the condensation of the dark side of human heart.

Guns and the like are useless to them, and even Taoist magic is hard to use."

Two-Bar Three's eyes dimmed, and he looked helplessly at his fighters. They were all excellent guys.

They gritted their teeth and held their guns tightly. Perhaps they were just as unwilling as I was?
But Zhengwei did not give up, but asked softly: "But you said there is a way to repair the light wall, what method do you use?"

The young Taoist lowered his head and said with a slight tremor: "Die voluntarily and use your soul to repair the heaven."

"Soul?" Zhengwei muttered to himself: "It means turning into a ghost? Just turning into a ghost?
Can ordinary people also become ghosts? "

"It wasn't possible before. But Master said that the world seems to have changed drastically, and the power of Taoism has become much stronger. Maybe ordinary people can do it now."

Zhengwei remained silent. He looked back at the dense crowd behind him. They were sitting on the ground, looking at the crack in the sky in despair and helplessness, as if waiting for death to come.

Then he let out a long breath and suddenly smiled softly: "Seek truth from facts, practice is the truth. You will know if it works if you try it."

Two Bars Three suddenly reacted, and he stood up abruptly:
"Old Zhao, you can't--No!"

Zhengwei pushed his hand away and slowly walked to the front under the gaze of the soldiers.

Then he took out his service pistol, put it to his temple, and resolutely pulled the trigger.

'Boom! '

When crisp gunshots rang out, all the soldiers were stunned. They stared blankly at Zhengwei falling limply to the ground.

He turned back and looked at the two-bar three whose body was shaking violently.

The young Taoist priest was also stunned. He never expected that the soldier would shoot without hesitation just because he said something.

Just for an experiment?
Amidst everyone's bewildered gaze, a blurry figure suddenly appeared on Zhengwei's body.

He lowered his head and looked at himself. Even though he couldn't see his face clearly, his smile was so bright.

He waved his hand as if with infinite attachment, then turned around and rushed out of the light curtain, like a stone thrown into the sea.

It created tiny ripples, but no matter how tiny they were, they still created ripples.

Big tears suddenly welled up in Two-Bar Three's eyes, and he wiped his face with his sleeve.

He struggled to get up from the ground and shouted heartbreakingly:

"Comrades, come after me!"

This was a scene the young Taoist had never seen before. The gunshot was like a signal. He watched the two-bar three rush to Zhengwei's body, picked up the gun, and pulled the trigger at himself.

The sound of gunfire was more frequent than the firecrackers during the New Year. One by one, the soldiers turned their guns and pointed them at him. The little Taoist even found many soldiers younger than himself crying.

But there was no hesitation in their fingers pulling the trigger.

One, two, three. Countless figures gathered together, like a torrent, rushing towards the wall of light in an unrivaled manner.

This time, it’s not just a stone, it’s a shocking stone!

The originally bustling camp was now dead silent. The little Taoist's mind went blank. He watched the last young soldier put on headphones and tremblingly reported the situation via the radio.

Then he silently walked to the middle of his comrades, picked up the red flag, turned around and smiled at himself, and pulled the trigger.

The young Taoist priest didn't know what kind of emotions were surging in his heart. He looked around the entire camp and suddenly picked up the gun on the ground with trembling hands.

Aim it clumsily at yourself.

Xu Laogen was already stunned. The dense gunfire drowned out all the cries. The crowd watched as the soldiers not far away aimed at them and pulled the trigger one after another.

I watched as one blurry figure after another stood up and rushed out of the light curtain.

It seems like something is growing in my heart.

"Don't shoot"

Someone whispered.

"Don't shoot"

The voice gradually became louder and trembling.

"Kid, don't shoot, we'll die if we die"

The sobbing in the crowd sounded again, and they shouted loudly, but the gunfire never stopped.

The surge in my heart grew stronger and stronger, as if it was roaring and raging and about to burst out.

Xu Laogen opened his mouth and hugged Gou Wa tightly, watching all the soldiers fall to the ground.

Looking at the young figure who died while holding on to the flag and did not fall down.

He finally couldn't bear it anymore, and the things in his heart finally broke through everything and rushed out.

Xu Laogen felt his body was very hot, it was the blood rushing up. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something.

But in the end, only a hoarse roar filled with anger spread throughout the sky.

"what!!!"

The woman looked at Xu Laogen stuffing the baby into her hands, stared with red eyes, and rushed out without looking back.

Behind him, there are many people standing shoulder to shoulder with him.

That radio call was like a ripple. The gunfire on the border never stopped, and figures plunged into the endless darkness.

The darkness that covered the sky and the sun seemed to be afraid and was actually diluted a little.

The cracking stopped.

Zhang Xiao looked at everything above his head in shock. The Taoist communication talisman had already told them what had happened.

"Xiaoxiao, do you see that? These brave people are the real backbone, they are like the cornerstone.

We are just standing on the platform they built with their shoulders and backs, so we look taller."

Zhang Xiao listened silently. Li Qingshu touched his head and said softly:
"Xiaoxiao, mom and dad are leaving soon, you must take good care of yourself.
Live a good life, grow up well, and don’t be too sad. When you miss your dad and mom, just look up.

Mom and Dad are right there."

As she spoke, she burst into tears:

"Dad and Mom will definitely be watching you in the sky. If there are two stars twinkling towards you in the night sky, it means we miss you.
Xiaoxiao, live on."

Zhang Xiao bit his lip and nodded desperately.

Zhang Chengdao patted his shoulder, turned around and left silently.

A grand and solemn voice was faintly heard in the sky.

The time is almost up.

Zhang Xiao looked at Zhang Chengdao and Li Qingshu standing on the top of a mountain not far away, snuggling together.

There seemed to be light flashing on their bodies.

"Disciple Zhang Chengdao!"

"Disciple Li Qingshu!"

Zhang Xiao knelt down, trying hard to hold back tears, and watched them look up at the sky.

"I wish to be the mountain god of this place!"

"I wish to be the water god of this place!"

Their voices paused for a moment, and their eyes looked at Zhang Xiao with infinite tenderness and attachment.

"Forever in China!"

"Forever in China!"

The golden light on their bodies was shining with incomparable intensity, and a pillar of light that penetrated the sky and the earth was like a giant pillar supporting the heaven and earth.

At the same time, countless such beams of light shot up into the sky across the land of China.

As if to hold up the sky.

The bodies of Zhang Chengdao and Li Qingshu began to slowly disappear.

Zhang Xiao finally burst into tears, shouting at the top of his lungs: "Farewell, Taoist Ningjing and Taoist Chengxuan, to your immortality!"
