The Dao dies but I live on, the spiritual energy dries up but I remain evergreen

The world is vast and boundless.

There are eight domains in total, and under each domain, there are several or even dozens of continents.

This is just the area explored by humans.

In addition to these, there are also various races other than humans in Fuyao Tianxia, ​​as well as secret and dangerous places, star strongholds... and so on.

now.

Fuyao world, Baiyu, Jianzhou.

A man in a blue shirt.

Riding a tiger, moving quickly in a forest.

The man had delicate eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, and looked like a pale scholar, which formed a sharp contrast with the mysterious and mighty tiger under his crotch.

Let’s talk about that tiger.

It is also extremely extraordinary.

Its limbs are thick and strong, and its tiger eyes are shining with brilliance, as if it has a high IQ and has already understood human nature.

This man was riding a tiger and galloping through the woods. If he were seen by a mortal, he would surely scream in fright.

Just walk deeper into the woods.

The tiger stopped and dared not move forward no matter what.

The scholar got off the horse... no, it should be the tiger, and continued to go deeper, with more complaints coming out of his mouth.

While scolding the tiger for being strong on the outside but weak on the inside, he was also showing off his power in front of himself, and when faced with danger, he would run away first.

The tiger growled in response.

When the scholar heard this, he cursed even more fiercely, and finally attacked the tiger with its own body, saying that the tiger would never find its tigress in its lifetime.

After scolding the tiger, the scholar was still not satisfied, so he turned around and scolded the fortune teller who controlled everything behind the scenes.

He is just a person seeking fame and reputation, and he is nothing but a fortune teller. If he is a fortune teller, would he make such a stupid move? Who should I invite?

If his spiritual energy had not been exhausted, he would be happy to make this trip.

But now that his spiritual energy is exhausted, he dare not offend anyone.

As he was speaking, the scholar's eyes turned and he turned around to go back the same way.

Bang.

An old man, carrying firewood on his back, bumped into him.

Although the old man is old, his aura is so piercing that it hurts.

When the scholar saw the old man’s face clearly, he cried out in his heart that he was doomed.

Unexpectedly, the old man just asked him to wait there for a while, then walked into the depths of the woods carrying firewood.

faintly visible.

There is a small wooden house there.

The old man came out with three ancient long swords on his back, came to the scholar, and said lightly: "Let's go."

The scholar was stunned. The old man then said that he had heard what he had just said and that the fortune teller had come to see him several years ago.

Upon hearing this, the scholar immediately changed his tone and praised the man in white far away in the Northern Desert, saying that he was truly a man of great fortune.

"Senior Old Swordsman, with your help, this operation will be a sure success!" the scholar flattered.

The old swordsman said calmly: "I don't care about your grudges. I just take advantage of others, do things for them, and repay the favors I have received."

at the same time.

Someone walked out of the cemetery.

Someone is carrying a bloody compass.

Some people built temples in the desert.

A big net is slowly tightening.

……

……

I went to Taohua Mountain and painted on the mountain, which took up the whole day.

The Wang family troupe has gone far away.

The two were unwilling to give up the beautiful scenery along the way just to catch up with the Wang family opera troupe, so they simply let nature take its course.

This day.

Li Changxiao rented a very expensive boat.

He collapsed on the deck, looking at the green mountains on both sides, drinking and sleeping, enjoying himself very much.

In fact, Zhao Qing enjoys it more than Li Changxiao.

She has learned on her own which foods are delicious and which foods are best eaten with wine.

So he borrowed a few taels of silver, hired a few chefs of good reputation, prepared the ingredients and got on board.

Specially cooked snacks for the two of them.

This river is very long.

It took three days.

The day before reaching the destination, the food on the boat was almost exhausted.

Li Changxiao thought hard and was too lazy to go ashore to purchase things, so he led the cook and Zhao Qing, and several people lined up and sat on the left side of the boat.

Start fishing.

The bait is usually vegetable scraps, corn kernels, or minced beef.

These things were mixed together, and some flour was added, and stirred into a paste with water from the river, and then hung on the hook...

I can't say that it is guaranteed to be caught, but there are quite a few fish taking the bait.

of course.

Fished all day.

A lot of strange things were also caught, such as broken boots, rusty hairpins, rags... and so on.

Generally, once a fresh fish is caught, it will be handed over to the chef immediately.

The chef lit the fire and heated the pot, and with his superb cooking skills, the fish had already become a delicacy on the table before it could even react.

Had several fish feasts.

The two arrived at their destination: the famous Millennium Cave!

The cave was shining with colorful rays of light.

It opened Zhao Qing's eyes.

Although with her knowledge, she has seen many gorgeous scenes.

But this time, it has a different flavor.

Afterwards, as planned, we went to Dalei Temple.

It seemed to be a temple fair that day and it was very lively.

All the people burning incense in the temple were women. They queued for a long time and finally got to the front row. Suddenly, they learned from others that those who burned incense today were all praying for children.

Hesitate.

The two decided to come back another day.

So the next day, after burning incense, because Li Changxiao was generous and directly donated five taels of incense money, the abbot was so moved that he immediately held his hand and said that the donor had a connection with Buddha.

The abbot warmly invited the two to stay and have a vegetarian meal together. The dishes were simple, just ordinary bean sprouts and pumpkin.

But the chef’s cooking skills were impeccable and the food was delicious. Li Changxiao ate two bowls in a row.

Zhao Qing ate three bowls. Li Chang smiled and said she was a foodie. She curiously asked what a foodie was.

After that...

Zhao Qing followed the list strictly.

I went to pick a rock flower on the cliff.

Then I took a boat to wander in the lake, and rowed into the depths of the lotus...

While Zhao Qing was lingering on the beautiful scenery surrounded by lotus flowers, Li Changxiao was whispering an apology to the crushed lotus flowers, saying, "Brother Lotus, I'm sorry, I'll toast you a glass."

time flies.

Unconsciously.

A month has passed.

The sixth day of September.

This day.

A Hemu Temple was built far away in the northern desert.

The village set off firecrackers and every household burned incense and prayed for rain.

Simultaneously.

This day.

It is also the Sky Lantern Day in Zhoucheng.

There is such a legend in Zhoucheng.

If the lit sky lanterns can successfully launch into the sky on this day, it means that family members far away are safe and sound.

night.

Tens of thousands of sky lanterns slowly float into the deep sky.

The entire Zhou city is set off as if it were daytime.

The lights fill the world.

Hit Li Changxiao and Zhao Qing in the face.

The two of them just lay on the grass.

Clink glasses and drink from time to time.

Zhao Qing murmured, "How beautiful!" and raised the wine glass, hanging it in the air.

He noticed that no one had toasted with him for a long time.

There was also a faint snoring sound in my ears.

She smiled helplessly. Why does this person love to sleep so much?

She drank the drink in one gulp.

Expression peaceful.

Looking at the sky lanterns, they gradually rise up... go out... and fall down.

Finally, it returns to darkness.

"Forget the great road." She recalled the day when she raised her wine glass and shouted these four words.

I took out the list, ticked off a few items, and fulfilled another wish. The rest, I no longer had time to fulfill, could only become regrets.

She untied the wine gourd from her waist.

Place it next to Li Changxiao.

The slight drunkenness dissipated in an instant, and his expression gradually returned to being cool and firm.

It was as if he had transformed from Zhao Qing to Mu Qin.

Zhao Qing is her real name and her true self, but that cannot be said to be Mu Qin.

She is the most determined seeker.

Always.

"Forget it. I will face the rest alone."

She looked at Li Changxiao deeply. She didn't know when she had decided not to involve him anymore.

She can shrink the earth to an inch and take one step to cover 3,000 meters...

It disappeared in the blink of an eye.
