The road is long, take it and cherish it

May 5th, Saturday, cloudy.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Wang Mingwu was still sleeping when the arrival of a middle-aged man wearing a safety helmet woke him up.

As soon as the middle-aged man entered the ruined temple, he noticed the little boy in the corner, and he woke up Wang Mingwu roughly.

After waking up Wang Mingwu, he was driven out of the ruined temple without any explanation.

The confused Wang Mingwu still looked confused at this time.

After seeing the excavators and other equipment parked around him, he seemed to realize something. He hurried back to the temple and came to the middle-aged man.

He hesitated for a long time, and finally stammered: "Well, uncle, what do you want to do to this temple?"

The middle-aged man looked down at Wang Mingwu impatiently.

"Little beggar, don't mind your own business. You should go there. This piece of land has just been taken by our company. Now the company has planned it and decided to build an internet celebrity resort here."

When Wang Mingwu heard this, he hesitated and didn't know how to persuade him. He thought for a long time.

"But uncle, you can't demolish this temple, otherwise there will be a big disaster and many people will die."

The middle-aged man smiled disdainfully and looked at him mockingly.

"Do you still want to say there is something evil underneath? Don't get in the way here, and walk quickly."

In the end, Wang Mingwu was driven away.

He walked far away, but he couldn't help but look back in the direction of the ruined temple. He didn't know what to do to prevent what might happen next, but after thinking about it, he seemed to be unable to do anything.

Not long after, there was a loud sound of houses being knocked down from the ruined temple, and dust suddenly rose into the sky.

In the dust that filled the sky, somewhere invisible to ordinary people, a black light rose into the sky as the ruined temple collapsed.

Around the temple that Wang Mingwu couldn't see, black mist spread quickly. As soon as the dozen or so people in the construction team came into contact with the black mist, they turned into blood mist in a few breaths and were completely swallowed by the black mist. .

"So hungry! Not enough! Not enough at all! More is needed!"

The sky was covered with dark clouds for a moment, but within a moment, bursts of thunder reached Wang Mingwu's ears, vaguely mixed with strange and cold laughter.

Wang Mingwu looked up at the sky. The master of laughter had approached him since the first day he came to sleep in the ruined temple, saying that as long as he helped him break the seal, he would agree to whatever he wanted. Own.

But I just ignored him at that time. Unexpectedly, he was finally released.

At this time, a black shadow in the sky flew towards Wang Mingwu quickly, and the flowers, plants and trees along the way withered one after another.

Soon the black shadow appeared above Wang Mingwu's head, and the black shadow condensed into a dark figure. He wore a bamboo hat on his head, a dark Taoist uniform, and straw sandals on his feet. You could see behind him He was carrying a sword whose appearance was unclear.

The Taoist looked down at Wang Mingwu on the ground, and said hoarsely: "Boy, you can't believe that we will officially meet so soon. Even without your help, I am still free. This is all God's will, hahahaha .”

Wang Mingwu withdrew his gaze and whispered.

"Congratulations then, goodbye."

After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave.

When the Taoist saw this, his expression suddenly froze on his face.

"Boy, aren't you afraid of me?"

Wang Mingwu kept walking and just shook his head gently.

The Taoist followed, and he thought for a while before continuing.

"Old Taoist, I am not a stingy person. Although you have turned a deaf ear to my words during this period, I like to repay evil with kindness and accumulate virtue and do good deeds. Otherwise, I think you are not close to each other, so I would be reluctant to accept it. Have you become a disciple? How about that? Are you very touched? Then we, master and disciple, will conquer the world together and become masters, how about it?"

Wang Mingwu stopped and turned around to take a closer look at the Taoist in front of him.

"Thank you for your kindness. You have a strong smell of blood. I don't like you. Besides, I don't want to be a master."

The Taoist turned his head and smelled his shoulder in confusion.

"I eat them cleanly, but their flesh and blood is smelly and the taste is indeed a bit strong. But you are such an interesting prey. I like you more and more, little cutie."

After saying that, the Taoist turned into a black shadow again, let out a shrill scream, and dived towards Wang Mingwu.

Wang Mingwu stood quietly and motionless, watching the black shadows in the sky sweep towards him.

What he was thinking at that moment was, could this be his ending? Should I try to resist?

At this moment, a helpless but firm voice reached the ears of Wang Mingwu and the Taoist from far and near.

"Master, stop it."

Wang Mingwu looked curiously in the direction of the sound, even ignoring the dark figure that was about to rush in front of him.

The person who came was an old man with white hair and a childish face, wearing a blue Taoist robe. He fell from the sky like a god described in the book, carrying a breeze that made him feel extremely peaceful.

The person who came was Taoist Qingfeng, and his arrival was blocked between Heiwu and Wang Mingwu.

He raised his hand and opened a cyan light curtain to temporarily block the impact of the black mist.

Black Mist didn't bother too much. He condensed his human form again on the side. He looked down at the two people on the ground. He snorted coldly and said: "Looking at the aura on your body, you are the Celestial Master of this generation, right? Unexpectedly, You can actually guess my origin, so you want to stop me? Just you? "

Taoist Qingfeng raised his head and stared at the Taoist in black in mid-air.

"Master, your entanglement with the 36th Heavenly Master is still fresh in his memory. I sensed your aura today, so I rushed over to see you. There are some things that I would like to ask clearly for the 36th Heavenly Master in person. "

The black-clothed Taoist also became interested when he heard this. He didn't expect that after so many years, there would still be people bringing up old things again. Thinking of the past, there would still be a trace of nostalgia.

"Tell me, what do you want to ask for that treacherous guy? I haven't spoken to anyone in so many years. Maybe I'll tell you if I'm in a good mood. Anyway, all those people would have died long ago if I thought about it. Really? It’s lonely.”

Taoist Qingfeng looked at him firmly.

"The first thing: Why did you turn your back on the master in the first place? You joined the demonic path. You were the most promising candidate of that era to become the next generation of heavenly masters. The second thing: Where did you hide the master's treasure that you stole? The third thing: What do you want to do today? The last thing: I want to ask you, senior, do you regret it?"

Hearing this, the black-clothed Taoist said lightly: "Junior, I didn't expect that you have a lot of questions. I'm in a good mood today, so I can help you solve your doubts. However, people who know too many secrets will not live long. Please think about it. Are you ready? If you leave now, I can spare your life in consideration of my master's friendship."

Taoist Qingfeng didn't hesitate at all. He said firmly: "I would like to hear the details."

The Taoist in black smiled.

"Well, you are worthy of being a heavenly master. They are all a bunch of fools. What does it mean to be possessed? Hahaha, I only know that I have gained more powerful power. Look, except for me, you guys who claim to be upright in heaven, there are Which one can survive to this day? Don't fool me with your fairy tales. They are just for deceiving children. As for the scraps of metal I brought out, after so many years, I don't know they are there now. As for the Isn't it obvious what I want to do today? I need a body. I originally focused on the body of the young man in front of me. His natural aura that is incompatible with heaven and earth is very suitable for my current situation. However, To be honest, I only have a 5% chance of success in seizing him, but if I use your body to make the transition, it would be a very good choice. As for the last question, I have never regretted it, not at the beginning, not now or in the future!"

After saying that, the Taoist in black did not wait for Qingfeng to respond.

He turned into black mist again and swooped towards Qingfeng. A distorted face condensed at the forefront of the black mist. He opened his mouth wide and screamed shrilly, shattering the green curtain in front of Qingfeng in an instant.

Qingfeng was shaken by the force of the backlash and took several steps back. He reached out and took out a green lantern. He waved his hand gently, and the green lantern lit up. The bright firelight instantly dispersed the surrounding black fog, and in the Qingfeng A semicircular light curtain formed around Wang Mingwu and Wang Mingwu, protecting them.

Although the black mist was temporarily blocked from the light curtain, it kept rushing outside, trying to break the light curtain.

In fact, the light curtain was crumbling under the constant collision of black mist, flickering on and off, as if it would collapse at any time.

Qingfeng frowned. The light curtain was a layer of protection, but it was also a constraint. He was trapped in the light curtain.

He tried to activate the power of the dragon vein, but his idea was noticed in advance by the master who came from the same sect.

The reason why he said so many words just now was not to clarify Qingfeng's doubts. In fact, it was to delay time. During this period of time, he successfully blocked a few kilometers of space with his own black energy.

So much so that Qingfeng couldn't sense the power of dragon veins at all now.

After a while, the green lantern could not bear the invasion of the black fog, and the swaying light finally went out.

The next moment, black mist filled Qingfeng's body. He raised his hand to resist desperately, but as soon as he raised his hand, the scene in front of him changed. He saw his dead mother, with tears in her eyes. Qingfeng rushed over and hugged himself. Qingfeng's body froze, and for a moment he forgot what he should do next.

He saw his mother's kind face and her tireless teachings to him when she came back at night. In that turbulent and poverty-stricken era, her mother was once a girl from a wealthy family, and she fell in love with her father, who had nothing at the time.

But their love was severely blocked by her parents. In the end, she gave up everything and eloped with her father. His mother knew the importance of knowledge, so no matter how hard and tired she was, she hoped that her son could learn it. With more knowledge, life will be easier in the future.

Soon the scene changed, and he saw his mother being killed by a drunk man. The man strangled his mother to death with both hands, right in front of his young self.

At that time, he was hidden in the closet by his mother. He witnessed the whole process through the gap in the closet. His eyes were red, but he did not have the courage to make even a sound. The drunk man was his father. ····

It's obvious that they are usually very affectionate, and it's obvious that he should have a happy childhood.

The next moment, the scene in front of him changed. His biological father also fell in a pool of blood at this time, lying not far in front of his mother. His eyes were wide open, staring at the person not far away. The young Qingfeng was still trembling all over his body. He stretched out his hand unwillingly like an evil ghost to catch him. Xiao Qingfeng was so scared that he dropped a brick stained with blood in his hand.

Qingfeng couldn't help but look down at the blood on his hands.

His eyes were red, and he squatted on the ground covering his head in pain.

The surrounding scenes suddenly disappeared, leaving only the vast sea of ​​​​fire under the dark night sky. The monstrous fire swallowed up everything like a roaring evil ghost. The firelight illuminated Xiao Qingfeng's numb and pale face.

In the end, everything disappeared, and there was only boundless darkness left around him, completely covering him.

Qingfeng couldn't help but yell heartbreakingly: "I didn't kill him! I didn't! He deserved it! That's what he deserved! I was upholding justice! I was not wrong!"

The voice of the Taoist in black came from the side.

"Whether you admit it or not, you know in your heart that you can't lie to yourself. What's more, when your loved ones die in front of you, I guess you should be very happy. Then I will beat you and you when you are drunk. My mother was killed by your own hands. Isn't the taste of revenge delicious? Now you are a sacred heavenly master in the eyes of the world. You are great and noble. You are respected by thousands of people. You will also be remembered in history in the future. But if they know what you have done, what do you think they will do to you? Scorn, abuse, these are just appetizers. How about I help you kill them all? Then no one will know about you. It’s a secret, you are still that high and holy heavenly master.”

Gradually, Qingfeng's resistance became smaller and smaller, his hands began to droop weakly, and his eyes were still red.

But the corners of his mouth were rising slightly, and he was murmuring softly.

"Just kill everyone who is right. I am not wrong. I am not wrong. It is them who are wrong. They all deserve to die!"

The surrounding black mist gradually faded away, and the black-clothed Taoist had completely taken over Qingfeng's body. He looked at his palm with satisfaction.

"Well, this body is a little better than expected. It's just that I'm a little older and a little weak. Everything else seems to be fine. In seven days, this body will completely belong to me."

He turned around and looked greedily at the unconscious Wang Mingwu on the other side, and he couldn't help but smile.

"Your body is still more attractive, but don't worry, you will be mine before long, hahaha."

After saying that, Qingfeng walked over and picked up Wang Mingwu's collar, and left the place in the air.
