I Am Immortal

  Chapter 222 The Choice of Yuanshi Datianzun

  Under the plum blossom tree, the middle-aged man who went back and forth looked at the young Taoist who was thinking, and frowned slightly.

  Why, is it him again?

  But it was a bit of spiritual light left on the [Qi], which was touched for the second time.

In the end, he came out and found that the one who touched the inheritance of the twelve holy truths was actually a disciple of the Taishang lineage. He glanced at the scroll of jade slips placed by the young Taoist on the side, and saw His twelve seals had been broken, and he narrowed his eyes slightly.

  Yuanshi Tianzun has always been fair.

Although this person is a disciple of the Supreme Master and cannot enter his gate wall, but this "Yuan Ancestor Qi" was obtained by this person himself after going through disasters, so he did not smash it directly before, but chose to smash it into pieces. The seal, but because of the fifty-fifty avenue and the forty-nine in the sky, the character of escaping and gaining one left a glimmer of life.

  But I never thought that this person would actually find this escaped one.

   so savvy...

pity.

   It's a pity.

  Looking up, he saw that Houtuhuangdi over there only seemed to be smiling, and although he didn't speak, a voice rang in his ears.

   "Great Heavenly Lord Yuqing, why did you go and come back?"

   Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun raised his eyes.

In an instant, the surrounding qi was stirred up, and the rules changed. The world in front of the young Taoist changed silently. It was no longer the town under Helian Mountain, and Qi Wuhuo couldn't perceive the process at all. , Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun never left, appeared in front of the Emperor Houtu, and said calmly: "Houtu."

  Hou Tuhuangdi only looked at the ripples around the young Taoist.

   "Vatican Qi Miluo, the ultimate is supreme."

   "Open up the sky, transform the heavens."

   "What a Yu Luo Xiaotai, what a Jade Illusion Realm."

   "Is this another trial?"

   "Yuqing, as expected, she is still so domineering. She never asks other people if they are willing."

   Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun said lightly: "Yes."

   Understatement, and rightfully so.

Houtu Huangdi could not refute it, nor could he refute it. He just looked at the Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun in front of him with a half-smile and a little spirituality. Such an existence, this spirituality is not much different from the main body except for strength and means. Regardless of his knowledge or mood, he said: "So, why test him?"

   "There's always a reason, right?"

  Yu Qing Yuanshi Tianzun did not answer.

  Hou Tuhuangdi only smiled and said: "However, Yuqing, what is your so-called trial?"

"This child's temperament is firm enough, his Dao heart is clear, and he can take the initiative to go through the catastrophe, and he was chosen by the Supreme Being himself. His toughness of mind can be used to test the **** and wealth of ordinary cultivators, and it must not stop him. footsteps; if it is blocked by supernatural powers, its comprehension is extremely high, as you have seen."

   "How do you want to test?"

  Yu said calmly: "You will know it when you see it."

  After looking at the Yuxu environment with only a smile, Hou Tuhuangdi's expression was slightly concentrated, and when he looked at Yuqing again, there was a slight anger and shock in his eyes: "Yuqing! You—"

  The young Taoist didn't know what happened.

He was just in a daze, the plum blossom tree was blown by the wind, and the petals fell, the young man subconsciously stretched out his hand to hold the plum blossom, and then suddenly the plum blossom disappeared in his palm, as if it didn't exist. The young man blinked, not knowing what happened.

  Plum tree?

   "We Jinzhou, do you have plum blossoms?"

The young man was puzzled. He raised his head and saw that the sun was warm and bright. When the wind was blowing, he could feel the smell of the land and the fragrance of the grass and trees. A familiar laughter came from behind, which interrupted the young man's thoughts. A female voice said with a smile, "Wuhuo, what are you doing standing there?"

The boy turned around and saw a round-faced woman standing there with bright black eyes and a smile, wearing clothes with her cuffs rolled up, her hair was just tied with a chopstick as a hairpin, and on one side was a The young man subconsciously said to the gentle-looking man, "Father, mother..."

   "I just saw a plum tree."

   "What are you talking about? How can there be plum blossoms here?"

   "The climate here in Jinzhou is not suitable for the growth of plum blossoms."

"Come here quickly, it's time to eat..." The young man turned around and looked at his father habitually eating standing with the bowl and chopsticks, while his mother was busy cooking chicken for him, and said with a smile: "Eat more Some, you will go to school today, you have to listen carefully to the teacher's lecture."

  Qi Shijing took two mouthfuls of rice, and said in a habitually slow tone, "Mr. is a famous Confucian in the country, with an excellent reputation."

   "Today's sages are unwilling to enter the court as officials after several conscripts, and only travel around to give lectures. Now that you are here in Jinzhou, you should seize the opportunity to learn more from your husband, and then serve your family and country."

"Um."

   "Can you memorize the articles I taught you before?"

   "After dinner later, recite it for me."

   "Can't you let the child finish eating first?! Are you the only one capable?"

   "I, I'm not..."

   "What are you, shut up!"

   "Come on, eat more for Wuhuo, don't listen to your father, he is just a poor and corrupt scholar with many rules."

"you-"

The young man watched his parents talking and eating. His mother sewed a bag for him, stuffed books, paper and pens into it, and carried it on his body. The young man walked to the gate of the yard, turned around, and looked at his mother. He was sewing something, while his father was tending to the pots of hanging baskets he had planted, earnestly pruning them.

  He stood at the door, seemingly aware of something wrong in a trance.

   But it doesn't seem to be any different.

  In the real world, Houtu Huangdi only looked at Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun:

   "...Jade Illusion Realm is no different from reality. Are you going to trap him here to death?"

   Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun said: "It's just a trial."

   "Based on his realm, there is a certain chance to find out the reality of the illusion, and then come out."

   "However, there is only one chance."

  Hou Tuhuang only looked at the young man.

  In any illusion, you only need to cut off the points, but she saw this time the Jade Illusion.

  The eyes of the formation are the parents of the young man.

  If you want to break the formation, you need to kill it with a sword.

  But Yuxu dislikes those who kill their parents to break the formation.

Moreover, this is the method of the Taoist ancestor. Qi Wuhuo's parents were mortals and never practiced [I]. Compared with the rest of the [I], the [I] of the first life is not prominent and not special. After reincarnation, everything is over.

In this illusory realm of jade, it is the Taoist ancestor who branded the world itself with his supreme supernatural powers, and everything that belongs to Qi Wuhuo's parents is gathered here again, that is to say, this illusory realm is false, but it is also true. For his parents, it is more "true" than the soul after reincarnation.

  Open up the sky, transform into the heavens.

   This is another world.

   If you don't cut, you won't break the formation.

   Cutting it can break through the small formation, but enter the large formation.

   It will directly shatter your Dao heart.

  If you seek it with intention, you will fall into obsession, do not realize it, and make big mistakes.

Houtu Huangdi only hoped for a moment that the young Taoist would break through the formation, realizing that it was an illusion; but he didn't want him to break the formation, so he immediately looked at Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun, and saw that his expression was indifferent and detached. Strictness is the best of the three cleanliness and the four defenses, and the so-called trial will naturally have a price, and it is a huge price.

She watched all this happen in silence, but the young man just smiled and waved to his parents, then stepped out of here, greeted every familiar person in his hometown, and followed the extremely vivid road in his memory Walking to the school, and then entering the school, a young man stood on the stage and said that his name was Su Shengyuan.

   smiled again: "There is another gentleman who teaches everyone Mingjing, Mingde, and medical skills."

A thin young man walked in, eyes clear and quiet, Qi Wuhuo's eyes widened, watching him introduce himself, but his mind was blank, for some reason there was a kind of reunion-like joy and sadness, just like when he saw his parents, Going home today, there is a guest at home, but it is a middle-aged man with a sword on his back, with an immortal demeanor.

   calls himself Tantai Xuan.

  After seeing the young man, he was very happy, and said that he had roots, and that he should enter the Taoist practice.

   also showed some skills of controlling the sword, dispelling the doubts of Qi Wuhuo's parents.

After the young man thought for a whole night, he chose to refuse. Empress Dowager Empress looked complicated and sighed in her heart. If she embarked on the road of cultivation in this dream, she could also break through the formation, or at least increase the chances of breaking through the formation. Possibility, the Empress Dowager only said: "If you enter the Taoist gate, can you break the illusion?"

  Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun said lightly: "It can be increased by 30%."

Houtu Huangdi could only watch with regretful eyes, watching the young Taoist sink into the softest part of his heart, sinking deeper and deeper into the real world constructed, Bewitched spiritually, he finally entered a situation from which he could not extricate himself.

  She can't make a shot, and she won't.

  It's just regret and sigh in the eyes.

  Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun is still like a statue, with a calm and indifferent expression, like a ruthless god, overlooking everything.

After Qi Wuhuo refused, he read with the two gentlemen every day. He seemed to be very talented. He quickly showed his intelligence in reading and became the most appreciated disciple in the whole school. Everyone thought he was You should go to study, to become a high official, pass the township examination, and county examination one by one, and finally go to a bigger city to study.

   "Eat well outside, don't be frugal, you don't need your money at home, you have to eat well, and buy some good fabrics, you can't send them home, my mother will sew clothes for you, the ones outside are too expensive."

   "Women, the clothes sewn in the tailor shop outside are better."

"Wuhuo, don't listen to your mother, don't worry about us, it's better to be humble outside than at home, and don't make grudges with others. With this money, you can eat what you want, buy what you want, and buy fashionable clothes Clothes, swords, jade pendants, going on study tours with classmates, and visiting celebrities from all over the world are all things to do, and they cannot be saved."

  Qi Shijing patted Qi Wuhuo on the shoulder and said, "Go..."

Qi Wuhuo carried his luggage and walked farther and farther under the setting sun. If there were no accidents, he would go to the big city. He would go farther and farther and rarely go home. There was gloom, Zhu Qixia sat there wiping her tears, Qi Shijing cooked the meal, and said: "Okay, don't cry."

   "It's a good thing for a child to be capable. Why are you crying?"

   "Yes, but, Wuhuo is so big, it has never been so far away from us..."

   "In the future, we will rarely see him in the future."

   "He rarely sees us again, maybe, maybe only a few times in his life."

   "When I think of this, I don't know why, but I really want to cry..."

Qi Shijing's expression was gloomy. For some reason, his wife's words made him feel a pinching pain in his heart. An old-fashioned and serious wife almost shed tears. Looking at the sunset outside like blood, his eyes suddenly widened. First subconsciously stood up and took a few steps forward, then stopped and said angrily:

   "Wuhuo! You, what are you doing back?"

  The young man put down his luggage, looked at his parents, and said softly, "My son feels that he is not ready yet."

   "If I go to the city this year, I may only lose, so I came back and plan to study for a few more years."

  Qi Shijing wanted to reprimand him, but he couldn't say it for some reason.

  Zhu Qixia laughed while wiping her tears, knocked her husband away, and said:

   "Come back, yes, be steady, be steady."

   "Come on, is Wuhuo hungry? What do you want to eat, mother will make it for you."

   "Don't eat what your dad made, only he can eat what he made."

The young man returned home, and this preparation took a full thirty-five years. When he was a classmate, some students who were not as good as him also became Jinshi and became officials. Qi Wuhuo, who is full of literary talents, just sighed with the reserve of a winner, saying that it is too young, but it may not be good when he is young, and he regrets it.

  Qi Wuhuo didn't care either.

Thirty-five years have passed, and he is now in his fifties. His parents are old, with gray hair all over his head. Wei died, in his seventies, he lived a long life for more than fifty years, and he has always been here, with his parents.

   also became a lecturer.

  Accompany my husband to give lectures, and go up the mountain to collect herbs with him.

   Later, more than 20 years later, I heard that a classmate who had been an official before was involved in a big case and was dismissed.

  Later I heard that the emperor was also dead.

Later, Qi Wuhuo's hair was already gray, and his parents fell ill. People in this village came and went, stubble after stubble. When they passed by, they would call Qi Wuhuo old man and praise him filial piety.

  On a rare fine day, Qi Shijing and his wife were basking in the sun, and Qi Wuhuo held his parents' hands.

I heard them say that they had had nightmares for a long time. They dreamed that there was a big fire in Jinzhou. Both my husband and wife died in that fire. They said that they saw their son who was less than ten years old standing there in a daze. , Thinking of the suffering his son will suffer in the future, he couldn't help crying, and then Qi Shijing would talk about women and other people while his own eyes turned red.

  Qi Wuhuo always has to comfort his parents: "I'm here, it's just a dream."

   "Yeah, dream..."

"Dream…"

  The two elders murmured, Zhu Qixia was a little unclear, and said:

   "It's just that, just because of the two of us, it will hurt you for the rest of your life."

   "You could have been an official, a high official..."

   "How could it be implicated?"

"Won't."

  Qi Wuhuo had a gentle voice. His parents were sleepy. He held their hands and heard them say that he was going to sleep. After that, Qi Shijing and Zhu Qixia slowly closed their eyes and breathed softly.

   Qi Shijing and Zhu Qixia passed away on the same day.

  Qi Wuhuo took good care of him and was free from illness and pain.

  Longevity and longevity, safe and sound every year.

  Qi Wuhuo sold the house and buried his parents together. Everyone praised him for his filial piety. Finally, the mason asked him what to engrave on the tombstone.

His back is arched and bent, his face is full of wrinkles, and his palms also have age spots. He stretched out his hand to touch the stone tablet, his palm trembling, but he remembered that when he was young, he stood at the door, under the warmth of the sun, watching Parents look young.

   "...Time flies, so much has passed in the blink of an eye."

  The stonemason looked at the old man in the village respectfully.

  The old man smiled and murmured: "Father Qi Shijing, mother Zhu Qixia's tomb."

   "Son, Qi Wuhuo..."

  His finger fell on the stone tablet, as if he was looking at the past and the future, and then the emperor looked at the old man with regrets in his eyes, the old man dropped his finger and murmured: "Tai Shang Xuan Wei."

"stand."

  The empress's pupils shrank slightly.

   It seemed to be an illusion, but it seemed real. She saw the corners of Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun next to him slightly raised his lips.

As the words fell, there was a loud bang, and the energy from the surroundings suddenly gathered, and the aura of the eighty-year-old man changed rapidly, so the old man's back became straight again, and he became young again, his white hair turned black, only his temples were white , turned into a young man, and then finally returned to a young man, such a change, the mason was horrified.

The young Taoist walked back home again. He bent down, picked up some stones and dead branches, and piled them up. He returned to his original appearance, but he did not practice Taoism and had no mana here. But relying on these stones, the dead branches changed Stacked, the world actually had layers of ripples, and then under the crude altar of the young Taoist, it was broken layer by layer.

  At the foot of Helian Mountain, the plum tree swayed when the wind blew, so the petals spread in the sky, and the young Taoist closed his eyes.

  But there were tears streaming down his face, which couldn't be stopped.

Houtuhuangdi only saw a faint change in him, and then looked at the Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun next to him, and realized that one of the biggest difficulties that the young Taoist would have encountered, was broken and annihilated in the process , the biggest regret in my heart was made up.

  Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun, domineering and indifferent, will arrange various harsh trials for younger generations regardless of the opposition of others.

But the opposite of the trial is opportunity. As long as you can pass the trial of Tianzun, you will find that Yuanshi Tianzun sees farther than others. The weakest and most lacking link, so Yuanshi Tianzun's personal disciples, but those who can go out of the mountain, have no shortcomings at all.

   Yuanshi Tianzun got up with a flick of his sleeves, and left calmly.

   Just said: "It's a pity."

   "After all, he can't be my disciple."

Hou Tuhuang only said: "Yuqing..." But the Yuanshi Tianzun had disappeared, and when Qi Wuhuo opened his eyes, he had already temporarily forgotten what he had just experienced, but he didn't know why he was crying, and he didn't know why, A certain empty part of my heart seemed to be no longer so uncomfortable, and there was a feeling of joy.

  As usual, the young man withdrew his "Qi" and went to visit Mr. Su the next day.

Mr. Su seemed to be tired for a long time, as in the past, he would still entertain the young Taoist with warmth and warmth, but it was different from the past, he would no longer mention lectures and court affairs in front of him, he would only talk about his experiences in the world, Tell me about what you've seen while traveling.

  It seems to be the same as before, but there is a great loneliness and regret.

  Although they are trying their best to restrain themselves, they still exist.

   "Mr. Su..."

Qi Wuhuo felt the loss and regret in his heart, and knew that such regret and loss were the proof that Su Shengyuan was still eager to change this era. He himself was a 'disruptive party' who would never be reused. He could only hope Disciples can gain knowledge and change this era, but now this sustenance has disappeared, so it is a loss.

The young Taoist was thoughtful, but when he returned home, he was taken aback. He saw that the courtyard next to him that had been empty for a long time was opened, and it seemed that someone was living inside. The young man, with a face like a crown jade and eyes like a flying phoenix, has a majestic majesty of his own.

   Nodded to Qi Wuhuo and said lightly: "I'm here, living here for several months."

   "Little friend, please."

  Qi Wuhuo is a person who knows how to be courteous, and he cupped his hands and said politely: "Under Qi Wuhuo, neighbors should help each other."

   "I don't know what to call Mister."

  The middle-aged man said flatly: "My servant, [Qing Yu]."
