Ordinary observers in fast time travel

Chapter 769 The Road Home

In a blink of an eye, three days passed.

In Yuezhou City, hundreds of miles away from Wanbao City, in a dim alley, two life forms of indistinguishable shape were nestling in a corner.

"Little girl, where are you going?" In the darkness, a living being made a sound, and it turned out to be a human.

"I want to go home." The voice was hoarse, like a boy's.

"Go home?" There was a sense of stiffness in the voice, as if the word "go home" was unfamiliar.

"Yeah." Her only wish now is to see her parents again before she dies, as well as her younger brother whom she has never met. He should be six years old this year.

"Little girl... you are still young after all." With the advice of an elder to a younger generation, "Do you know that if you want to go far in the path of cultivation, you must cut off your family ties as soon as possible?"

"..."

After a while, the childish and hoarse voice sounded again, "I don't think so." Although the books said that kinship was a major obstacle to cultivation, "Since you are a cultivator, as long as you build your foundation, you will have a lifespan of 200 years. Even if a mortal takes longevity pills, his lifespan is only 100 years. How can it be considered an obstacle?"

She never agreed with this.

Blood ties are the hardest to sever. Even if they have to be severed, caring for one's parents until their old age is probably the best way to sever the ties.

"Hmph! The path of cultivating immortals is to fight for life against heaven, and time is the most precious resource. Only a hundred years? Hmph! Don't you think a hundred years is too short?" The old Taoist's voice was full of disdain.

"You know that for those who cannot build a foundation, a hundred years is their entire life. If they are unable to build a foundation just because of this useless blood relationship, how do you think they will feel?"

Li Shijia frowned. She disagreed. "Senior, your idea is too radical. Since it is impossible to build a foundation, why do you still force it?"

"Besides, isn't being obsessed with cultivating immortality also a form of obsession? Those cultivators who blame their relatives for not being able to build a foundation have probably already been controlled by obsession."

"Hmph! Wrong logic!" The old Taoist snorted coldly, but his heart was in turmoil and his breathing was heavy.

Li Shijia shook her head. This was how seniors were. They would get angry when they couldn't argue with her. She had gotten used to it in the past few days. "Senior, my injury is almost healed. I plan to take the spaceship back to the East Region tomorrow."

The answer she got was heavy breathing. Li Shijia looked over and saw the old Taoist's flushed face vaguely visible in the dim light. "Senior, are you okay?"

The old Taoist priest jumped out of the alley and disappeared around the corner in a blink of an eye. Li Shijia was startled. She shouted loudly, "Senior!" and gritted her teeth and chased after him.

After all, he was an old senior who escaped with her and had taken good care of her in the past few days. If something happened to him, she would feel uneasy.

The old Taoist priest ran very fast and his back could no longer be seen. However, Li Shijia's eyes had mutated and she could see the energy of each person, so she could naturally tell where the old Taoist priest was.

After chasing breathlessly for a long time, they finally stopped at a barren mountain outside the city. The old Taoist priest sat on a rock. There was no grass or tree within a hundred meters, and the desolate place was eerie.

It was already evening, and the afterglow of the setting sun stretched the old Taoist priest's shadow very long, casting it on the uneven ground like a twisted monster.

Li Shijia couldn't help but shudder as she watched. She tried to focus her gaze on the ferocious-looking old Taoist priest. "Senior, are you okay?"

"Senior, are you okay?"

The old Taoist closed his eyes and gritted his teeth, "Get out!" Of course Li Shijia would not get out. She saw that two energies were entangled and colliding in the old Taoist's body. With every collision, cracks would appear in his meridians, and the old Taoist's complexion would also change.

This is very similar to the situation described in the books as being possessed by a demon.

Moreover, the old Taoist priest may have gone astray because of her words! Li Shijia felt guilty and anxious. If the old Taoist priest went astray because of her, wouldn't she owe him a cause and effect?

How to do?
Li Shijia looked around, trying to find a solution. Suddenly, she saw a stone with weak energy on the ground. "Got it!"

She quickly picked up a few stones and began to set up a formation around the old Taoist priest, first a protective formation, and then a mind-clearing formation!

Although she didn't know much about formations, she was more than capable of setting up two simple formations. After setting up the two formations, only a quarter of an hour had passed.

At this time, the red and black energy in the old Taoist's body has taken over!

"Senior, you must hold on and never let the inner demon succeed. We have finally escaped from the dungeon of that old thief Wangshu!" Li Shijia shouted while selecting stones with abundant spiritual energy. She planned to carve the Heart Purification Talisman directly on the stone!
Carving symbols on spirit stones is an extremely dangerous thing. If you are not careful, it may cause the energy structure inside the spirit stone to be unstable, thus causing an explosion.

Li Shijia had never thought about this before, but now that she has mutated eyes, she can do it!

Li Shijia is full of confidence!
He took out a small dagger, stared closely at the direction of the energy in the stone, carefully carved a stroke, and shouted to the old Taoist priest.

At this moment, Li Shijia was multitasking to the extreme!
The old Taoist's situation was getting worse and worse. The two extremely basic formations had no way to do anything to him. During an outburst of his inner demon, the two formations exploded at the same time.

"Bang!" Li Shijia's heart shrank suddenly. At the same time, she tilted her body to the right and completed the last stroke of the talisman in her hand. The next second, the stone talisman in her hand glowed. Without thinking, she threw the stone talisman at the ferocious old Taoist priest.

"Snapped!"

The stone hit the old Taoist priest's forehead. Li Shijia thought to himself, "Oh no!" He subconsciously covered his eyes...Huh? "Can this happen?"

Li Shijia opened his eyes wide, as if he was seeing something strange.

It turned out that the stone talisman was firmly attached to the old Taoist's forehead, with no intention of falling down. At this time, the old Taoist actually calmed down.

The most amazing thing was that the violent red and black energy in the old Taoist priest’s body gradually calmed down and slowly turned into white.

"This... When did the talisman I drew have this effect!" Li Shijia looked at his hands, then touched his eyes. The next second, he felt sleepy. "Bang~" he fell to the ground, unconscious.

The little ball on her head started to get anxious again, "Xiao Jia, Xiao Jia!"

"Host sister, what should we do? Xiaojia seems to have used too much soul power." Yes, the reason why Li Shijia was able to create talismans that could be called spiritual treasures was that she used her soul power unknowingly.

However, Li Shijia is now only supported by Shijia's two soul threads. Soul threads cannot generate soul power on their own and will be gone once used up!

Shi Jia drank her tea calmly, "Why are you so nervous? You won't die." Her soul thread is not cabbage. It is enough to support the people in this world for a hundred years.

Besides, she had absorbed a lot of her spiritual essence before, so it would not be so easy to consume it.

"Really?"

"Do not worry!"
