Choose a day to soar

This smile made Xu Ying shudder.

The smile on Li Xiaoke's face was peaceful, free and easy, without the previous persistence and the hypocrisy hidden under the smile.

But the more this happened, the more terrifying Xu Ying felt.

Now Li Xiaoke only has a piece of human skin left, and he is no longer the Li Xiaoke he used to be.

he died.

The body was hollowed out.

His flesh and blood, his spirit, the six secret elixirs in his body, and the various caves were all cut off.

He became a virtual shell.

Li Xiaoke dispersed his sword energy, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and walked towards Xu Ying with a smile. He was just a piece of skin with no sweat, but he still wiped away the sweat diligently.

Xu Ying smiled in return.

Seeing that they were fighting without meeting each other, the woman was relieved and said with a smile, "I'll make you a pot of tea. You guys sit down first."

Xu Ying thanks you.

Li Xiaoke stretched out his hand and asked Xu Ying to sit down at the stone table outside the thatched cottage and watch the sunset in this hidden place.

The woman's hidden scene is an idyllic scenery, showing the beauty and leisure of daily life, as if the fighting and killing in the world have just faded away.

Time seems to stand still at this moment, so beautiful that it is unreal, so beautiful that it makes people cry.

Li Xiaoke looked at the woman's back and said quietly to Xu Ying: "Don't tell her."

Xu Ying's eyes flashed and he asked tentatively: "Don't tell her what?"

Li Xiaoke said: "Don't tell her that she is dead. She doesn't know that she is dead. She is obsessed with keeping her body and letting her live here. Many years ago, in my heart, she lived like this. Here. She is a woman without ambition. I don’t want her to get hurt, even if it’s just her obsession.”

Xu Ying looked at the woman's back.

The woman was just a skin, no body, no soul. Her obsession supported the skin and made her seem alive.

In fact, this was her obsession.

As long as no one points this out, her obsession will live here like a living person until the obsession dissipates as the years change.

"She is a haven of peace. I often come back here, talk to her, and live with her for a while, and it feels like I am back to the past. At that time, she and I were carefree."

Li Xiaoke calmed down for a rare moment and said with a smile, "I have always wanted to return to this kind of life without pursuing immortality or power."

He turned to look at Xu Ying, with a feeling of relief and freedom of letting go of everything, and said: "I used to feel that immortality was essential, and immortality became my obsession. But after returning to her, I felt that immortality was inevitable. It’s not that important anymore.”

Xu Ying was stunned. At this moment, Li Xiaoke seemed to have no idea that he was dead. He was like a hermit, talking about the life he longed for most.

"I looked at my heart and found that what I wanted most was not to see her forever. I found that what I wanted most was to be with her. Even if I couldn't live forever, even if I only lived for a few years."

Li Xiaoke smiled and said, "Is it because you taught me the way of heaven? I suddenly felt a great enlightenment."

Xu Ying was convinced that he did not know that he was dead.

What surprised Xu Ying the most was that what Li Xiaoke should retain the most was actually his obsession with immortality and revenge. For more than three thousand years, isn't immortality what Li Xiaoke has longed for most? Why is the obsession expressed after death not about immortality, but about the pastoral land in front of me?

He should be like Chen Mianzhu, the leader of the Southern Dian Kingdom, who never forgets immortality and revenge even after being eaten until only human skin is left. He even pretends to be an immortal and teaches harmful techniques so that he can seize his body easily. Even enslave gods, search for souls, and refine panacea!

Xu Ying felt that Li Xiaoke's evil should be even worse!

He can definitely do greater evil after his death!

Xu Ying was convinced that Li Xiaoke had done many evil things in the past three thousand years. He secretly taught many people the Nuo method with traps, harvested many Nuo immortals, and killed many people.

He was convinced that Li Xiaoke was addicted to cannibalism and would do whatever it took to preserve his own immortality. He even harbored evil intentions in teaching his disciples, so that he could take their bodies and change their bodies for his own convenience.

He was convinced that Li Xiaoke was a hypocrite. He would throw dirty water on Qing Yu when he failed to pursue her, and he still wanted to maintain his glorious and majestic side in front of others.

But why did Li Xiaoke not have this obsession after his death?

Xu Ying calmed down and asked, "How did your lady die?"

Li Xiaoke's face trembled like waves. It was obvious that his wife's death had become his obsession and he could not forget it.

He cut off his negative memories and stuffed them into the mirror to form another Li Xiaoke in the mirror, but he did not let go of this heart-wrenching memory.

Li Xiaoke recalled the past and said: "At that time, because Qi refining could not lead to immortality, the Nuo method became popular and gradually replaced the Qi refining practitioners."

Xu Ying knew about this period of history. When a Qi practitioner reached the ascension stage, he would have to face a catastrophe. Even if a strong person had a way to avoid the catastrophe, he would still have to hide in Tibet. Hearing the sound of thunder would make him tremble in fear.

Refining qi is no longer a beautiful thing, but instead makes you feel anxious and anxious all day long.

With the Nuo method, you can become a Nuo immortal after opening the ninth level of the cave. You can pioneer the immortal world in your body and live forever.

Nuo method is not as difficult as refining qi, and there are not so many realms. It is normal to replace the complicated qi refining.

"At that time, the dispute between Nuo method and Qi refining gradually took shape. Some Qi refining practitioners believed that Nuo method was unorthodox and polluted Qi refining. Some Nuo immortals believed that Qi refining practitioners suppressed new things, burned books to trap Nuo people, and persecuted Nuo people. Fairy."

Li Xiaoke's eyes were full of tenderness and he said, "At that time, there were often duels between the two, and there were many casualties. I was probably a good person at that time."

The acquaintance and love between young men and women is full of chance, especially when the qi-refining master Nuo Xian gradually becomes like a fire and water. Nuo Immortals were often found dead in hidden places. The Nuo Immortals suspected that the Qi Refiners were secretly killing the Qi Refiners and launched a counter-attack against the Qi Refiners.

The enmity between the two sides became deeper and deeper. As Li Xiaoke was an outstanding figure among the Qi practitioners at that time, naturally many Nuo immortals attacked him.

He was severely injured and was saved by the woman. They are talented and beautiful, and fall in love at first sight. The pursuit of Nuo Immortal continues. They support each other during their escape, but are misunderstood by both camps, but their relationship grows deeper day by day.

They had a very beautiful love and became husband and wife.

At that time, Li Xiaoke's psychology was not so distorted. At that time, he was an idealist. He tried to restore the magical powers lost in ancient times and tried to regain the glory of the Qi Refiner.

He discovered that the decline of Qi Refiners was actually related to the fault of Qi Refiners during the Shang and Zhou Dynasties.

He discovered the beauty of Nuo from his wife and felt that Nuo was not that unbearable. He even had the idea of ​​combining Nuo with Qi Refiners.

However, beauty is always short-lived. When he was happiest, his wife died and turned into human skin.

Li Xiaoke changed.

On the way to track down the murderer, he discovers more and more truths about Nuo cannibalism and the truth about burning books and entrapping Nuo. He explores more ancient history, and his discoveries become more and more shocking.

On the way to track down his enemy, he gradually discovered that he was getting older and gray hair was growing on his temples.

He suddenly developed a fear of death.

He began to be obsessed with the young and energetic body, and fell in love with Qingqi who always asked him for Taoist and magical powers. He tried to save his own aging and his own death.

Suddenly one day, he woke up when he pushed Qingqi, who had repeatedly rejected him, into a stone well to suppress it.

Others can eat people and live forever, why can't you?

Realization dawned on him and he laughed.

When Li Xiaoke said this, he looked at the woman coming with the tea, and a happy smile appeared on his face again, as happy as he was three thousand years ago.

Xu Ying raised his cup to drink tea.

Li Xiaoke also took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "I have been practicing your Thirteen Heavenly Sword Styles, but I have never been able to achieve it. It's like I suddenly had a enlightenment and a great enlightenment, without those obsessions. If I can live happily with my wife for the rest of my life, Is it that important whether you can live forever?”

Xu Ying smiled and said: "What you said is true, and it makes me feel relieved. You are always chasing me, which makes me worried."

Li Xiaoke laughed and said: "You can rest assured. From now on, you have one less enemy."

Xu Ying stood up and said, "In that case, I won't bother you anymore."

Li Xiaoke looked at the beautiful sunset and said with a smile: "You and I are enemies, so I won't send you off."

The woman smiled gently and said: "The enemy is also a guest, how can we not send him away? I will send him away."

Xu Ying followed the woman to the broken door. The woman smiled and begged in a low voice: "Don't tell him that I am dead. He has never known this. I want to stay with him like this."

Xu Ying's body trembled slightly and he turned back to look at her.

The woman turned back to look at Li Xiaoke at the stone table, her eyes full of tenderness, and said softly: "I have never seen him so peaceful. He always came and went in a hurry. I can't let him go."

Xu Ying nodded lightly.

He walked out of the broken door and turned around, only to see the woman walking towards Li Xiaoke. The two leaned against each other and looked at the sunset.

Xu Ying closed the broken door and sealed off this hidden place.

The young man was a little melancholy. He was not the Ying Ye who had experienced countless years. His memory only started from catching snakes in Jiangjia Tian. If Mr. Ying had experienced countless joys and sorrows, he would not be melancholy about Li Xiaoke and his wife.

"Li Xiaoke gradually lost his original wish on the way to revenge. From revenge, he became afraid of death. From tracking fishermen, he became a member of the fishermen."

Xu Ying walked along the Nai River downstream, silently thinking in his heart, "He gradually lived in the way he hated the most, and he enjoyed it, thinking that it was him pursuing his dream, but it was the years that had blinded his original intention.

"After his death, his body, soul, cave, and elixir were all taken away, leaving only a skin. He discovered that what he wanted was actually always by his side and had never been cherished."

However it was too late.

Now, only the remnants of the two of them are left in the hidden scene, wearing their skins, pretending to be alive, and keeping each other warm.

As for Li Xiaoke and his wife, they are deceased.

"Fengtoucao, you said that after Li Xiaoke took the elixir of immortality, will he be resurrected when he returns to the Five-Color Immortal Mountain?" Xu Ying thought for a while and asked about the purple elixir.

The purple fairy grass was hiding in his secret treasure of the spring. When it heard his voice, it swam out of the spring, got out of the Xiyi Realm, and stopped on his shoulder.

Its roots danced in the air, spelling out words.

"No. The position that carries the elixir of immortality is his physical soul and his spiritual consciousness, not his obsession and human skin."

Purple Ambrosia wrote, "If he wants to be resurrected, it will be the person who ate him who will be resurrected, not him."

Xu Ying nodded lightly.

Li Xiaoke probably really died. he thinks.

"I should tell Miss Qingyu about this so that she doesn't have to be obsessed with seeking revenge. I should tell Xue Ying'an about this so that he doesn't have to worry about it. They should both enjoy life and be bright and happy in their hearts."

A smile appeared on Xu Ying's face, like a big boy scorched by the sun, he jumped up and landed on the water of Nai River.

Two lotus leaves automatically grew under his feet, and the lotus leaves floated downstream with the current.

"It's time for me to return to Haojing."

He smiled and said, "Master Zhong, Qi Ye and Jin Ye, they must be anxious waiting for me. And Zhu Chanchan, they probably don't miss me, but they will definitely miss my baby. Damn, you will like them. .”

The purple elixir of immortality wrapped its roots around his neck and tried to strangle him.

Xu Ying didn't take it seriously and said: "They are all amiable, especially Master Jin. By the way, have I told you about Master Jin? It will definitely like you very much. You let it have a taste. When it gets older, it will eat you." A bite of preparedness.”

Upon hearing this, the purple fairy grass tied a knot around his neck and strangled him tightly.
