Beauty helps me achieve immortality

Chapter 228 Even if the stars cannot stay forever

"There's a strange beast on Zhaoyao Mountain that looks like an ape and is called the ape."

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

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

"The ape is good at walking, but also loves to drink. I will wait for you at the top of the mountain."

Zhao Qing held a pottery jar in his hand and stopped to stare at the woman's figure gradually moving away.

……

In the deep mountains and dense forests, there are unknown vines everywhere. You can pick up jade of very good quality after walking three or five steps. Countless caves are blocked by the mysterious valley trees that are so big that several people can hardly hug them.

As you walk slowly through, you can feel a unique sense of tranquility and relaxation. Looking around, it seems that there are thousands of swords hanging upside down above your head, as if they will fall down at any time.

"Boom."

"Boom."

"Boom."

There was a faint sound of water drops falling into a clear pond. Turning around and looking back, all I could see were strange rocks and unusual sights emitting a green light in the darkness, showing the wonders of time.

Zhao Qing finally stopped in a valley surrounded by peaks on three sides, intending to lure and hunt gibbones here and experience the magic of the Hanguang Sword.

The pottery jar fell over, and the turbid wine exuded a strange fragrance and flowed into the deep cracks of the stone.

Gusts of sea breeze blew, carrying the rich aroma of wine into the endless mountains... Zhao Qing leaned against the cave, tilted his head back to drink the turbid wine, and quietly waited for his prey to appear.

From time to time, he stared at the messy jade in front of him that was emitting a faint light, and vaguely felt the sword of light that he had just put down.

It feels like nothing when touched, and cannot be recognized by observation. Only by feeling its existence with the heart can one move it without leaving a trace and strike without a sign.

I don’t know how long it took, the sky gradually darkened, a fishy smell appeared in the sea breeze, and a faint whimpering sound echoed in the depths of the cave.

Zhao Qing leaned on the branches of the Migu tree, and a faint light flashed in his sword-like eyes.

He saw it clearly: a furry little animal leaped down from the cliff at a rapid speed. Its body was as fast as the wind and lightning. If he was not careful, he would lose its trace.

Aboriginal!

This is a small animal with gray and white hair. It is only one foot tall when crawling. It uses its four limbs to move forward, but it can walk on cliffs as if they were flat ground and move as fast as flying.

In just a moment, the gray-white beast shadow leaped past Zhao Qing not far away. When he looked closely, only a vague afterimage was left.

"squeak!"

A miserable scream echoed throughout the forest, and the blood of the little beast flew dozens of feet into the sky.

At some point, the Han Guang Sword had already cut it down!

The little monkey had a very short neck with a dark red bloodstain on it. It curled up its body and fell from between the vines without a sound.

The night in Zhaoyao Mountain is extremely silent, with only the sobbing sea breeze as the sound.

After a long time, a figure in linen clothes slowly approached, picked up the little monkey on the ground, and turned to walk towards the top of the mountain.

Beside him, the entwined vines were still swaying gently, and drops of blood seeped down the thorns and sank deep into the earth.

……

Beneath the towering old tree, a blazing fire started up. The flames illuminated the woman's face, making her look even more charming.

"No more peeling."

She casually tossed the abacus into the flames, then turned to look at Zhao Qing and chuckled, "I've been to Zhaoyao Mountain more than once and have seen schools of abacus swimming in the sea. It was quite interesting."

"It's a pity that it's only a memory evolution, otherwise you could experience the wonders of this beast's understanding of time."

Zhao Qing silently looked at the woman in front of him. Even though they had been traveling together for several days, he still felt a little unfamiliar with her.

After thinking for a long time, he gradually realized that perhaps he had intruded into her memory and was not used to the scenery here.

Or perhaps it was the ethereal and otherworldly aura about her that made him feel a little ashamed of himself.

Facing Si He's eyes, which were as cold as a pond, Zhao Qing smiled and said, "It knows the past so well, and it can even speak human language?"

The woman shook her head slightly. "It's hard to describe. Only when you actually touch this beast will you feel it."

"But the past cannot be undone, so I can only treat it as a curiosity for fun."

Zhao Qing deeply agreed: "Indeed, it would be truly amazing if we could know the future."

Si He's beautiful eyes fluttered as she turned to look towards the deep West Sea and sighed softly, "The future... is unknowable."

The woman leaned sideways on Zhao Qing's legs and looked up at the starry sky.

There was a hint of melancholy in her words, which made Zhao Qing look down. It turned out that gods also worry.

"Look at the stars between the mountains and the sea. Are they brighter than those on Shouyun Mountain?"

The raging fire burned the man's face, and he raised his head to look at the starry sky...

At the end of the vast and endless night, the dust floating in the sky emits a faint light.

The Milky Way, like a silk thread, fell into the deep sea.

The indistinct stars outlined one star map after another, which were swallowed and torn apart by the raging waves.

Night, swaying in the water.

It's a reflection.

The delicate body in my arms is as warm as jade.

The firelight distorted my vision.

The bright moon sank into it.

Clouds and smoke rise from the mountaintops...

Contains light of birth and death.

Like a dream.

"It is brighter than Shouyun Mountain." Zhao Qing finally said.

Si He closed her beautiful eyes, frowned slightly, and whispered softly, "Where are the stars of Shenzhou?"

"It should be brighter too."

The woman smiled and said, "The leaves of the maze valley on Zhaoyao Mountain can help travelers find their way back home."

Zhao Qing also smiled: "I don't want to go back home anymore. I'm fine in Songshan."

"But I want to."

The atmosphere was a little tense for a moment.

Si He chuckled and pressed the man's hand on her forehead, her beautiful eyes becoming more lively.

Zhao Qing stopped talking and quietly looked at the...god in his arms.

After all, her roots are not in Shouyun Mountain.

For no apparent reason, Zhao Qing felt a sense of loss.

There were faint whispers in my ears.

“Even if the stars cannot stay forever, the mountains and seas never change.”

"What I seek are the mountains, the sea, the divine fire before me... the heaven and earth here."

"but……"

The woman's beautiful eyes trembled slightly, and she raised her head to look at Zhao Qing. A smile made her holy face look a little dusty: "I'm back."

"Is this an illusion?"

Zhao Qing smiled and said, "No."

"We're on Swagger Mountain."

The smile on Si He's face grew wider, and as her beautiful eyes closed, it turned into a faint sigh.

"Zhao Qing... According to Shanhai, you are my Lang."

"You should bring me back more often."

Huge waves surged in from the West Sea, crashing against the cliffs and making a deafening roar.

"Lang."

Zhao Qing lowered his head and stared at the woman, repeating softly.

"Okay, I'll bring you back often."

"Humph!"

Si He chuckled. This high priest, who was full of divinity, seemed to have also been tainted with a bit of playfulness.

"You don't have that much lifespan to waste."

She adjusted her posture, nestling comfortably in the man's arms, and said softly, "When I first arrived at Shouyuan Mountain, I was a little confused..."

"Why do you call your man your husband?"

If not husband, what to call him?

Zhao Qing smiled without saying a word, gently stroking the white hair in his arms, listening to Si He tell her story.

The woman laughed and said, "A husband is a man of ten feet!"

"There is a country of men in the mountains and seas, and a country of women to the north and south of Wuxiang, so close yet so far away that they cannot be seen."

"There are only men in the Husband Country, and they are all extremely tall, standing at least ten feet tall. Even newborn babies are three feet tall, which is unusual."

Zhao Qing nodded slowly.

So that's how it is... A man who is ten feet tall must be at least three meters tall.

The next moment, he wondered, "How can a country with only men give birth to a baby?"

Hearing this, Si He's beautiful eyes fluttered gently: "What do you think?"

Zhao Qing immediately fell silent.

He turned and said, "Lang..."

"You asked me to take a few wolves back to Shouyun Mountain. Did you miss me too much?"

Si He rolled her eyes and said, "You are quite self-indulgent."

She said slowly: "We are the same people. To Xiaoyi, we are aliens."

“Maybe there are many tourists in that world, but I only met you.”

The woman's delicate hands gently grasped the strong arms.

"Even if you are only at the Foundation Establishment stage now."

"But I can afford to wait. I have plenty of time and plenty of life..."

"What's the point of having a high level of cultivation?"

The Tai'a god seemed to be slowly blending with the smiling girl, and there was a hint of mischief in his beautiful eyes, and they were less cold.

"Well...anyway, his cultivation level isn't as high as mine."

Zhao Qing: ...

The meat in the firelight shone with oil, and a strange aroma was blown away by the sea breeze.

The woman waved her slender hand lightly, splitting it in two, and directly grasped one of the hind legs and slowly gnawed on it.

After taking a bite, she handed over the leg in her hand: "I can only taste it. It is somewhat similar to venison."

There was a hint of oil on Si He's red lips, which reflected a little light under the moonlight.

Zhao Qing took the beast's leg and gently wiped the greasy smell from the woman's face with his other hand... Her fragrant and snowy skin felt cold to the touch.

The woman's beautiful eyes were like a deep, cold pool, quietly sizing up the man in front of her.

"Do you feel uncomfortable if I ask you to call me Master?"

what! ?

Zhao Qing looked at the serious face in front of him and his brain froze instantly.

Before he could speak, the woman leaned forward slightly and asked, "If I didn't have the immortal cultivation, would you still come to Shouyun Mountain to see me every year?"

A thoughtful look flashed across her brows. She sensed Zhao Qing's thoughts and couldn't help but smile.

"If I regain my freedom and want to return to the mountains and seas, you will lose your protection."

"If I leave, will you miss me?"

The woman in front of him had lost her divinity, and her beautiful eyes were filled with ripples of affection.

"Zhao Qing." Si He said softly.

Zhao Qing nodded slightly: "I'm listening."

Si He said quietly, "Your whole family lives under the protection of the Bloody Robe. If one day Qingying and I turn against each other, what will you do?"

Hearing this, Zhao Qing was speechless for a moment.

He thought carefully for a moment and said slowly, "At least my aunt Shuyue and Qinghuan should have a safe place to stay. If you don't have to worry about anything, I'll take them with you."

The woman raised her eyebrows slightly, raised her hand to gnaw on the animal leg in her hand, and the smell of oil stained her white hair.

She said vaguely: "What if there are any worries?"

The woman under the moon has messy white hair, stained with oil, which makes her look a bit charming.

"If you have any concerns, I can return your spirit to you."

Zhao Qing was silent for a long time.

He whispered, "I... don't know Qingying, why should I help her?"

There was a hint of weirdness in Si He's eyes, and it seemed that for a moment they turned into vertical pupils.

She looked towards Xihai and chuckled softly, "The fusion of minds is the ultimate way of dual cultivation..."

"However, the master is very happy today."

She waved her sleeves lightly, fanning the flames even brighter, and instantly filled the entire mountaintop.

"walk into."

Without hesitation, Zhao Qing stepped into Si He's divine fire in an instant.

A strong arm came up and pushed him to the ground.

Beneath him were scorching rocks, the greasy smell left by the aborigines, and charred, fragile grass ashes.

There was a blazing fire of the Shinto sect before his eyes, but he did not feel too much burning sensation, and it was even slightly warm, but the dry feeling in his nostrils was the same as usual.

He stared with wide eyes as he watched the sackcloth on his body turn into ashes and disappear.

The woman in front of him took a step forward, and her cloud-like robe and sleeves swayed in the night wind into the West Sea.

Only the delicate and graceful body beneath the messy white hair remained, appearing faintly in the envelopment of the divine fire.

Si He leaned over gently, and lifted Zhao Qing's chin with her slender hand. A hint of teasing flashed in her charming eyes: "Even if it's a wolf, it's just a little wolf."

Zhao Qing's heart trembled as he looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar figure in front of him, which appeared before him without reservation, and... the two of them were in the rising divine fire.

He reached out to wipe the greasy smell from the firelight, but the woman raised her hand to block it.

Her beautiful eyes were full of teasing.

"I am a god, but also... a demon."

Si He suddenly leaned over, pressed Zhao Qing to the ground and kissed him deeply, and spoke through his mind: "I am a demon..."

"If your spirit falls into the hands of a demonic beast, it will only perish."

The enchanting vertical pupils slowly closed, and the woman raised her head high.

The gods fell into the dust, stained with oil and grass ashes.

The dark ocean reflects the wildfire, and the white hair dances wildly in it.
