The sect is full of evildoers, but I am the eldest brother.

Gu Yi's intuition told him that Yuxian was not lying.

But the two highest levels of lies are nothing more than making the falsehood indistinguishable from the truth.

And...confusing truth with falsehood!

It is a fact that Yuxian will not live long, and it is also an indisputable fact that Junjun will die.

Maybe Junjun will thank Yuxian for this.

If it weren't for Yuxian, he would have been reincarnated as a stillborn baby. But Junjun didn't know that Yuxian's reason for helping him come back to life wasn't just out of kindness.

In other words, Junjun's entire life so far has almost been arranged by Yuxian. To put it more cruelly, Junjun's existence is just a way for Yuxian to break through!

But in reality, no one is sorry to anyone.

Yuxian allowed Junjun's life to continue in this life, and Yuxian also placed infinite hope on Junjun, but then a small accident happened?

But no matter what, if it weren't for the hope of "life" seen in Junjun, Yuxian would have been unable to resist the wear and tear of time and would have gradually withered ten thousand years ago.

It wouldn't have been delayed until now!

The friendship between the two can't be summed up simply by saying "it's God's will."

And as that little accident...

In fact, Gu Yi didn't feel much guilt in his heart.

After all, he didn't want this to happen.

Who made the old demon live for tens of thousands of years and yet be so timid that he dared not go against the will of heaven?

If only we could separate the two the moment the souls attached themselves to each other.

It’s still possible to mend the situation!

But the old goblin didn't...

At such a critical moment, he, a living immortal, actually chose to give in?

Gu Yi didn’t understand, and couldn’t understand.

But what puzzled him even more was...

This person is dead. Instead of returning to his hometown and reincarnating into a good life, he ran to someone else's body, occupied the magpie's nest, and continued to live?

Evil spirits have to eat away at other people's souls bit by bit.

He, on the other hand, directly replaced it and took control of the yang body again with the body of a ghost. Even the old goblin admitted that this was the first time he had encountered such a strange thing in his life of tens of thousands of years!

But it was also because of this strange incident that Yuxian mistakenly believed it was God's will. Until the end of Gu Junming's life, she did not dare to act rashly...

During the day, the two of them, one big and one small, lay on a straw cart heading to the next town. The bumpy journey might make them a little irritating, but the warm sunbathing made them feel relaxed.

"The air outside is still better~"

The little guy suddenly sighed.

"Who says it isn't?"

The big guy crossed his legs and held a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth.

His whole body exuded a sense of ease.

It was still early morning, and the flowers and plants on the roadside were stretching out, the dew on the leaves shining in the sun, reflecting tiny rainbow lights.

The gentle breeze blew, bringing with it the scent of earth, which was so fresh.

In the end, Gu Yi chose to take Junjun with him.

Otherwise, it would be a bit embarrassing to have occupied someone else's body for so many years.

And according to the little guy Junjun, during the years when Gu Yi was occupying the magpie's nest, the little guy was actually always there, but his soul was in a suppressed state.

It was as if all five senses were blocked and I couldn't perceive anything.

I spent my second life in a daze.

When he woke up again, he had come to the third life with an extremely short lifespan.

His body was inexplicably taken over by someone, his soul was inexplicably suppressed by someone, and he inexplicably came to the third life with a short lifespan. The previous moment he was still fantasizing about following the immortals on the immortal path, rising all the way to the top, and the next moment he opened his eyes, he was told that everything was over.

But I was completely confused and had no idea what was going on.

It's over before it even begins...

"From now on, you will be called 'Gu Junjun'."

"Why?! I'm older than you, so you should have my last name!"

At this moment, Gu Yizheng rested his hands behind his head, enjoying the warm sunbath.

He turned his head and spat out the dogtail grass in his mouth, then crossed his legs and said nonchalantly, "Anyway, the old demon said that once we're outside, you have to listen to me in everything."

"If you really don't agree, I'll send you back now before you get too far."

"Did I ever say I didn't accept it?"

Gu Junjun still spoke stubbornly.

"No~"

Gu Yi smiled gently, "It might be very difficult to travel long distances these days. You haven't been away from home for a long time, so you need to be mentally prepared!"

"It doesn't matter."

Gu Junjun looked into the distance at the sky where a few white clouds occasionally drifted by, and her mood calmed down: "I don't have much time left to live."

"It's better to die outside than to die in that dark cave."

"You seem quite open-minded."

Gu Yi asked curiously, "Have you been grounded for the past ten thousand years? How come Lanlan can go out to buy daily necessities, but you can only grind medicinal powder day after day?"

"You're still talking about it!"

Gu Junjun said angrily, "I originally had at least thirty years to travel outside, but someone's kindness wiped it all out!"

"Don't be like this, won't I be sad if you say that?"

"I'm sad, that's more like it! What are you sad about?"

Gu Junjun's eyes twitched twice, and he said irritably, "My soul power is weak, and I can't get too far away from Grandpa Yuxian's body. Otherwise, even if I do nothing, it will gradually dissipate."

"It's the same this time as well."

"But Grandpa Yuxian is almost unable to hold on any longer, so he simply shared some of his strength with me, allowing me to take a good look at the scenery outside in the little time left."

“Because there aren’t many left…”

Gu Yi asked: "How much is left exactly?"

"Five years, maybe."

Gu Junjun took a deep breath of fresh air. There was no trace of pessimism on his face, only a sense of relief as if he had seen through life: "Maybe a little more, maybe less."

"Who knows? I'll live one day at a time."

"Anyway, I've had enough of that kind of life!"

"What I'm going to say next might be a little unpleasant to the ear."

Gu Yi said calmly: "Do you want to listen?"

"Go ahead, nothing can disturb me now."

"Actually, your soul isn't weak, it's no different from a normal person. You can go wherever you want, and there's no such thing as dissipating. Even if it dissipates, it's the end of a natural death."

Gu Yi looked up at the sky and said in a normal tone, "But the old demon deliberately kept you by his side. Whenever your lifespan was about to run out, he would give you a little of his own energy."

"Without you, the old goblin might be able to live longer, but without you, even if the old goblin survives, it will only be a body without a heart."

"As for why he insisted on keeping you by his side, I guess he's afraid you might collude with someone outside, or do something that would affect the final outcome of your second life."

"If nothing unexpected happens, you won't necessarily become a 'Sword Lord,' but you'll most likely become a 'Sword Immortal,' 'Sword Emperor,' or even a 'Sword God.' And your second life's body... no, it should be said that this is our shared body. It was forged by the old demon using his own life spirit branch and other natural treasures. Half of the merits you gain will be fed back to him in this way."

"It's a gamble."

He smiled and said, "But in the end, because of my interference, all the merits I had accumulated were transferred away along with the karma before they could even be used."

"It really is like 'losing both the wife and the army'."

"Not only that, this old demon is actually very afraid of death. He returned my original body to my friend because he was afraid of being contaminated by a greater karma!"

"Hehe, immortals are nothing special. I killed one ten years ago."

After saying that, Gu Yi sighed again with a feeling: "Ten thousand years! If we count it based on a hundred years as a cycle, it would be a hundred reincarnations!"

"No matter how unlucky you are, you won't die in the womb every time you're born, right?"

Suddenly, I heard a slight sobbing sound coming from beside me.

Gu Yi lowered his head subconsciously.

I saw a small hand clutching his clothes. I don't know when, Gu Junjun had already burst into tears, but still said firmly: "You are not allowed to... Um, this is insulting Grandpa Yuxian..."

Perhaps Gu Junjun also knew that he was being used by Yuxian, but in the past ten thousand years, apart from Yuxian, he didn't know who else he could rely on.

A baby who died in the womb has never experienced the warmth of the world. He only knows that someone is truly kind to him, and that is enough.

Even if he was used, he was willing to do it.

"You little brats who haven't grown up yet..."

Gu Yi looked a little puzzled: "I have clothes on, why do I always like to wipe my tears and snot on others?"

"I want you to take care of..."

A sharp knife called truth almost caused Gu Junjun's Taoist faith to collapse.

But fortunately, all this will eventually end.

After seeing the scenery outside, you will be reincarnated and start again.

"I haven't finished speaking yet."

Gu Yi sighed and said, "Are you still willing to listen to the rest?"

Gu Junjun buried her head in Gu Yi's clothes on the side.

After a long time, the crying stopped, and then a weak voice came out: "Listen."

"The old demon knows he won't live long, so he plans to make one last effort."

"It just so happens that recently, a guy has appeared who impersonated the Sword Lord. I went south this time to find a friend to investigate and find out the origins of this imposter."

"The old witch must have calculated this, and she earnestly begged me to take you out. On the one hand, she wanted to take advantage of my guilt towards you and let you take back what originally belonged to you."

"Secondly, as long as you can retrieve these things and become the Sword Lord again, he can also use the unbreakable bond between you and him to revive and be reborn."

Gu Yi frowned, feeling disgusted with Yu Xian, a guy who only knew how to take advantage of others. He continued, "But I don't know what the old demon saw."

"Why are you so sure? I will definitely do whatever he wants."

"So, you mean, in the end, I was still being used..."

"Don't be so depressed, think on the bright side."

Gu Yi interrupted Gu Junjun's self-deprecating words. He grinned, revealing eight big white teeth, and said with a grin, "At least we got out!"

"No matter what this old demon saw, as long as we don't know and just follow our hearts to do what we want, then we won't be used!"

"Even if he finally gets what he wants, it only means..."

"He calculated it accurately, and we are not the ones being used by him!"

Gu Yi raised his hand and pressed it on Gu Junjun's head, shaking it for a while: "In other words, we are just doing what we want to do, and no one is forcing us to do anything. How can it be said that we are being used?"

"You're right!"

At that time, the sky was blue and the clouds were white. Little Gu was holding Big Gu in his arms, and he didn't say anything for a long time. However, the tears that were about to burst out were forced back, and a bright smile reappeared on his face.

"Yeah! That's it! Just like I thought!"

Seeing that Gu Junjun finally stopped picking at her, Gu Yi breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this was the only piece of clothing he had left, so please don't let it be ruined...

"I'm going to be frank with you. I won't abandon you and will try to listen to your advice. But if you get lost or like to act like a jerk..."

Gu Yi said with a straight face: "Whatever happens, I won't clean up your mess!"

"Don't worry, I'm not a child."

Gu Junjun waved her hand nonchalantly, "I know what to do!"

"you sure?"

"I am sure!"

Gu Yi pointed to a small flower swaying in the wind not far away and said expressionlessly, "See that little red flower? Bring it to Brother Gu and I'll give you a candy that will make you smarter if you eat it."

The two of them were on a straw cart at the moment, and the overall speed was neither fast nor slow. With Gu Junjun's short legs, it was more than enough for her to jump down and run up again in a short time.

But as soon as Gu Yi finished speaking, Gu Junjun showed a disgusted expression and said, "Are you okay? This kind of words can only be used to tease a three-year-old child!"

"So how old are you this year?"

"Seven years old."

"Oh!" Gu Yi showed an expression of sudden enlightenment, and immediately said: "Okay, go get the little red flower for my brother Gu, and I'll give you a candy as a reward."

"You're not mistaken, are you? I've already told you this, this kind of talk is barely enough to tease a three-year-old!"

"Two."

"This is not a matter of one or two!"

"Three."

Gu Junjun's eyes suddenly changed, and he turned around and was about to jump off the straw cart, but as soon as he jumped up, someone grabbed his collar and threw him back onto the soft straw pile.

"You! You don't keep your word, you scoundrel, you little dog!"

Gu Yi didn't reply immediately. He just reached into his clothes and took out a few candies, stuffing them into Gu Junjun's hands without even looking at them. "Eat less candy, be careful of tooth decay."

At the age when he should have been growing up, he was forced into a deep sleep. Even with the help of immortals, he still made no progress after thousands of years. In order to allow him to focus on his studies and always hold a pure heart towards the Tao, he killed any signs of growth the moment they first sprouted...

Old devil, there was really nothing wrong with the beating that Old Ye gave you!

If it weren't for the huge disparity in strength between the two sides, Grandpa Gu would have wanted to uproot you!
