Beauty helps me achieve immortality

Chapter 189 Welcome to Shouyun Mountain

The warm sun covers the earth.

In a residential building south of Chaoyang Middle School, Haigang District.

Si He, wearing thin pajamas and a pair of exquisite cartoon cotton slippers, knocked on Zhao Qing's door.

She frowned and pouted, "Can we not go to school?"

Zhao Qing: ...

This is already the seventh day in the illusion.

He didn't actually take Si He to elementary school, but started directly from high school... The past knowledge was easy to understand.

"Don't you want to understand this world clearly?"

Zhao Qing stared at the angry girl in front of him and said thoughtfully, "Learning is the most effective way to understand the world."

I won't let you live in the same room with me!

Go and recite the text!

Little Sihe!

Si He was silent for a moment, her delicate body slightly tilted to the side, and she passed by Zhao Qing and went into his room, turning on the computer.

A pair of fair little hands gently rested on the keyboard.

The girl whispered, "Why are your memories only of going to school and playing games?"

The soul illusion is evolved based on the memories of the two people. Things that Zhao Qing has not experienced... cannot be fully presented.

He couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I am a kid from the village."

"Besides going to school and playing games... playing with glass balls, climbing trees, poking frogs, taking pictures, do you want to try it?"

Si He gently twisted the swivel chair, raised her pretty face and whispered: "Can we go to Egypt, or Mount Tai... Mount Laoshan in the East China Sea is also fine."

Zhao Qing shook his head slightly.

"I've never been to Mount Tai, let alone abroad."

He hesitated for a moment and continued.

"I always used my student ID to get discounted tickets on the high-speed rail, and I only took a plane once with a tour group...Anything you want to know is actually in the history books."

Si He shook his head helplessly.

He tapped the keyboard lightly, then casually picked up the spicy strips on the side and said, "Go to the refrigerator and get me a can of Coke!"

……

Zhao Qing'an sat on the bed motionless.

The girl was lying on the computer desk, and hadn't opened the package of snacks yet, but just one look at it made her mouth water.

She held the mouse in her other hand, opened a two-dimensional game, and prepared to draw cards.

Light words echoed in the room.

"Go!"

"Then come and draw cards with me!"

"..."

Si He looked back gently and combed the white hair by his ears.

"I'll kiss you for a minute later."

Zhao Qing nodded silently and walked towards the refrigerator in the living room.

He wondered, "Why is time getting shorter and shorter?"

The girl curled her lips slightly.

"A lot!"

"Teacher Lin talked to me during the break..."

Zhao Qing: ...

"Because of the hair?"

Si He shook his head slightly, his bright eyes revealing disdain: "Because I live with a classmate."

"Isn't it your memory that's playing tricks on you? What a mess in your head!"

……

In the endless mountains.

Zhao Qing lay at the end of a steep cliff, looking up at the blue sky and white clouds.

Some rough pottery jars rolled over beside them, and turbid wine flowed out.

A snow-white figure stood at one side and spoke softly.

"That vaguely visible mountain range is Ganshan. Within it lies a deep pool called Ganyuan."

"On the other side is Bogu Mountain. There is a deity on the mountain named Li Shi who protects the people of Jing."

Si He leaned over and picked up the pottery jar, then sat down next to Zhao Qing.

He whispered, "I'll take you to Zhaoyao Mountain."

Zhaoyao Mountain?

Zhao Qing stood up and prepared to embark on his journey again.

It's just an illusion, just follow Daddy...

The woman gently grasped Zhao Qing's hand, pulled him up, and chuckled, "There's a strange beast on Zhaoyao Mountain that looks like an ape, called the ape."

"It can know the past, but cannot predict the future."

"If you can eat its brain, you can fly between mountains..."

Zhao Qing couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Is it so cruel?

Eating monkey brains will get you jailed.

He held Si He's hand tightly and nodded, "I want to go and see."

The two walked side by side, walking in the air.

For a moment, Zhao Qing only felt that the mountains and rivers before him were endless and magnificent.

Si He's white hair fluttered beside his ear and brushed against his face, making him feel distracted.

Zhao Qing asked in a low voice, "Am I... considered one of your subjects now?"

My people?

The woman's dark eyebrows trembled slightly and her white head shook slightly.

"You are a thinker, and I am a thinker."

The Thinking Man and the Thinking Woman...

The cold voice in my ears gradually became blurred, and the surrounding scenery began to become distorted.

This time of mind fusion is coming to an end...

Zhao Qing felt something and glanced sideways at the woman beside him.

Si He smiled and shook his head.

"If there's a next time, I'll take you to Zhaoyao Mountain."

She slowly released Zhao Qing's hand.

In an instant, the man's body lost the divine power that supported it and fell rapidly to the ground.

The wind whistles in my ears.

Zhao Qing took a deep breath and tried to look at the white-haired figure... until he could no longer see anything, he slowly closed his eyes.

But suddenly I felt... that I was no longer falling!

A soft and smooth touch came, as if a auspicious beast walking on the top of the clouds was supporting it.

……

The whistling sound of the wind in my ears gradually faded away, and the scene before me turned into the familiar night sky.

Seventeen bright stars dotted the sky, and the starlight reflected the moonlight, flowing quietly.

The feeling in my arms is still there... the rustling of fallen leaves.

【Sihe】

[Bond: Intimacy]

[Bond Bonus: Five Days]

[Lifespan: 3,220 years and 5 days]

Zhao Qing looked through the virtual panel at the trembling narrow eyes of the little beast in his arms...

Feeling that his own functions and blood had declined, he couldn't help but sigh slightly.

He withdrew his hand from the horn of Cheng Huang.

Another panel flashed before my eyes.

【Sihe】

Intimacy

[Mind Fusion Bonus: 300 Days]

[Gained lifespan: 310 days]

Lifespan: 3,191 years, 315 days

A thoughtful look flashed in Zhao Qing's eyes.

Twenty-nine years are really missing... Can this be considered dual cultivation?

"Walk with me a little longer...they can't see you."

In my mind, I heard the familiar laughter of a young girl.

The little fox in his arms opened its narrow eyes, looking lively and alert.

Would you like to walk with me again?

it is good……

Zhao Qing glanced at the bluestone courtyard gate, then hugged the little animal in his arms tightly and took a step out.

The nights in Shouyun Mountain are often lonely.

Only during the beast tide a few years ago could we see some monks...

now.

A young man in the foundation-building stage slowly walked across the fallen leaves on the mountain, with a snow-capped figure lying quietly in his arms.

The little fox lay quietly in his arms, no longer sending out any thoughts.

Zhao Qing looked towards the south side of Shouyun Mountain...

At the foot of the mountain on the other side is Dingzi Mohao Courtyard.

Towering ancient trees stand here, and the dead leaves are picked by the wind and moon and sent far away.

The man's thoughts also drifted away.

……

Laying the foundation...becoming a god.

Zhao Qing couldn't help but smile bitterly. Those who were at the foundation-building stage were human, while those who were at the spirit-transforming stage... were gods.

But he is not the god of transformation.

After seeing Si He's memories, he began to understand a little bit.

Perhaps... the realm of immortality is not too important to Cheng Huang. She herself is a god born and raised by nature, and a auspicious beast with a gift of longevity.

The immortality pursued by immortal monks is nothing to her.

Although we cannot live forever, it is enough to see the ocean turn into mulberry fields.

Think about this.

Zhao Qing was a little surprised...he didn't envy her at all.

I don’t know if it’s because our thoughts are in sync.

Zhao Qing only felt that—

For Si He, longevity may be the cruelest curse in the world.

All the familiar people have turned into dry bones.

The things I thought about drifted away like smoke...

I am just a passing visitor in her life.

Sensing Zhao Qing's thoughts, the little fox gently raised its neck, its narrow eyes full of disgust.

A faint thought reached the man's ear: "Painful literature?"

Zhao Qing: ...

He whispered, "Can you change back?"

Si He looked around and talked about something else.

A slightly hesitant thought came out: "The fusion of thoughts cost thirty years of lifespan. Do you... regret it?"

……

For a moment, Zhao Qing fell silent.

It took thirty years to realize the absurdity of a moment...

The three thousand years of life given by Si He can only be realized a hundred times.

He nodded slightly and replied, "Of course I regret it."

"I regret it so much!"

"I'll come back to see you in a few years..."

At this moment, Zhao Qing only felt that his arms became lighter in an instant, and the scene in front of him blurred for a moment.

He returned to the bluestone courtyard.

Si He had already transformed into a human form. She was wearing the dark gauze dress she had brought with her. She spat softly, "Then don't hug me... If you do, you'll lose your lifespan."

After experiencing the fusion of minds, Zhao Qing has become indifferent to Xiao Sihe's temper.

He spread his hands and nodded, "Then I won't hug you."

"Ah!"

The girl sneered and said no more.

He then took out a skinned lamb and gently pointed his slender finger in front of Zhao Qing, and a ball of rising flames appeared out of thin air.

But there is no spiritual energy here.

This wasn't the fire control technique Zhao Qing was familiar with...

He pondered for a moment, then used his spiritual power to take the lamb from Si He's hand and transformed himself into a chef.

The girl asked aloud, "Did you bring cumin?"

In response to this, Zhao Qing simply shook his head.

"There's only peppercorns and salt here, but it actually tastes pretty good. Shuyue's roasted ones are much more fragrant than mine."

Oh……

Si He nodded slightly, then sat quietly in front of the fire and waited.

Zhao Qing stared at the flames rising in front of him.

It seemed as if I saw another snow-white beast figure among them...

"anyway……"

"Have you ever tasted the yellow wine and live animals used in sacrifices by Siyou's people?"

He looked at Si He and asked him a soul-searching question.

Little did they know that this statement had already violated a taboo, just like standing in front of the statue of the City God and asking: Do you eat the offerings?

Hearing this, memories flashed across the girl's bright eyes.

She nodded gently: "I try it occasionally. Some of the little beasts are actually quite delicious."
