Master comes down the mountain, I don’t know martial arts, but I am an immortal

The waves caress the beach, singing a gentle song like a mother coaxing her child to sleep.

Li Muchen stood on the beach, watching the sunset, and thought of the mother he had never met.

The sun slowly sank into the horizon, as if being gently pressed by an invisible giant hand. Its light began to become soft and deep, dyeing the sky into a flowing oil painting. The colors gradually changed from golden yellow to violet, and then to deep blue.

Under this ever-changing light, the sea water around the island presents an indescribable color, as if countless gems are flashing underwater. Each drop of water reflects a different color, forming a spectrum that dances, as if it is a dialogue between the sea and the sky, whispering ancient secrets.

"Legend has it that this is where the stars fell." said Chen Wenxue, who was standing side by side with him.

"The stars will not fall, what will fall are the gods, including your wings." Li Muchen said.

Chen Wenxue looked back and said with a self-deprecating smile: "I'm still not used to going out with six wings."

Behind them, Lin Tianhao, Lilith, Joyce, Dominic, An Shibai, and Kamal stood at a distance and watched them, as if they were afraid that they would jump into the sea.

Further away is the majestic Cathedral Mountain, half-hidden in the void.

"No one is used to having six wings, but God needs to get used to it," said Li Muchen.

"I don't like being a god." Chen Wenxue shook his head. "Being a god requires carrying too much weight and flying. It's easier to be a human."

Li Muchen smiled and said, "One day, God will disappear from this world, and then you won't have to bear the burden anymore."

"Is it falling like the stars?" Chen Wenxue said as he looked at the Changgeng star that first appeared where the sun sets in the darkening sky.

"No, it's not falling, it's disappearing." Li Muchen's eyes seemed to penetrate the sky and the sea, looking into the depths of the distant universe, "The sky is dark, so we can see the stars. The people are suffering, so we need gods. If the world is bright and all beings are happy, there will be no need for starlight and miracles."

Chen Wenxue nodded slowly: "Yes, so I still need to be a god for a while, right? But, if there really comes a day when the world is bright, all beings are happy, and the starlight and miracles disappear, then where will the darkness and suffering go? You carry the burden all the way forward, and when the time comes, will it all be on you alone?"

"No." Li Muchen's voice was gentle and straightforward. "I am not Jesus, nor am I Ksitigarbha. I don't think that my suffering can bring happiness to all living beings. That is the thinking of gods, thinking of themselves as gods and saviors."

"Aren't you the savior?"

"I am not a savior, and this world does not need a savior. I am just one of the living beings, a tiny hair on the Great Dao. To be lost in the Dao is what we should do."

Chen Wenxue was silent, thinking about what Li Muchen said. The sea breeze blew up his slightly long hair, which had not been cut for a long time, and the faint afterglow of the setting sun shone on his face.

"I understand." Chen Wenxue raised his head and looked at the darkening sky. "I remember there was a passage engraved on the monument in the secret realm of the Parthenon: 'The sun sank into the sea, and the stars fell into the deep sky; dragons and snakes appeared on the earth; the sky and the earth turned upside down. God came from the human world and established a new order.' At that time, I thought that the god who came from the human world was you. Until just now, I still thought so. But now it seems that the god is not you."

At this moment, a meteor shower suddenly began to fall from the sky.

They dragged their long tails like celestial ribbons, weaving a magnificent sky curtain. They left fiery trails in the sky, interweaving into complex patterns like ancient runes.

"This is truly the place where the stars fell!" Chen Wenxue exclaimed.

"I have to go." Li Muchen said suddenly.

Chen Wenxue was stunned, and then a trace of disappointment appeared on his face.

"Are you leaving after all? Aren't you going to accompany me to find the mountain of light where there is no darkness? Without you, I'm afraid I won't be able to get there!"

Li Muchen did not answer, but just smiled with trust.

Then he took a step forward, stepped out of the beach, and stepped onto the dark and boundless sea. Suddenly, several phantoms appeared and went away in different directions.

Chen Wenxue knew that when Li Muchen met the fifth senior brother from Tiandu and learned that Xiang Wanqing was in trouble, he had already sent a clone to Ruoshui.

At this time, he created more clones, and it was obvious that there were more crisis situations in more places that needed him to deal with.

Chen Wenxue couldn't tell for a moment which one of the shadows running in different directions was the clone and which one was the real person.

"The stars fell, dragons and snakes rose from the ground, the heaven and earth changed, the war between the old gods and the new gods, the confrontation between the old order and the new order..." Chen Wenxue murmured, "Mu Chen, oh Muchen, if you are not the god who established the new order, who are you?"

……

Mu Nianfeng saw off the last guest and glanced at the mountains in the distance. The evening sky was covered with sunset glow, like brocade spread over the undulating mountains.

He turned around and saw the sign of his own shop with the words "Nianfeng Mountain Products" inscribed on it, emitting golden light under the setting sun.

In recent years, Linhuang Town has become more and more lively, and the business of the mountain goods store he runs is also getting better and better.

Not only his mountain goods store, but also the people in the whole Linhuang town are living a good life. Good business is secondary, the most important thing is peace and tranquility.

Mu Nianfeng couldn't help but think of Li Muchen.

Everything that Linhuang Town has today is thanks to Master Li.

If it weren't for Master Li, the Yinshan Sect would still be here bullying men and women and acting tyrannically.

If it weren't for Master Li, Mu Nianfeng would still be the outer hall master of the Yinshan Sect and continue to do unscrupulous things.

Now Baihua Valley has replaced Yinshan Sect and become the largest sect in the local area. Granny Xie has taken over the original Yinshan territory. It is said that Yinshan Sect was originally founded by Granny Xie's ancestor Xie Wuyang. However, Granny Xie no longer uses the name Yinshan Sect, but continues to recruit disciples and practice medicine to save lives in the name of Baihua Valley.

Baihua Valley was no longer limited to accepting female disciples. Mu Nianfeng could have joined. Baihua Valley even invited him to be a deacon on the mountain.

But Mu Nianfeng doesn't want to join a gang again. He prefers his current comfortable and happy life.

Perhaps this kind of day is what life should be like.

Mu Nianfeng walked into the store, turned on the computer, checked the accounts, and then prepared to close the door.

"Uncle Mu!"

A soft and pleasant voice was heard, like an oriole flying into the shop.

"Oh, it's Lantian!" Mu Nianfeng smiled at the pretty girl who came in from outside, "She changes every day, getting prettier and prettier! How come you, the little genius doctor of Baihua Valley, have time to come to my place?"

"Uncle Mu is making fun of me!" Lantian chuckled, "It's like this, I met a special patient today, his whole body stinks, and he needs aromatherapy. It just so happens that the spices in my Baihua Pharmacy are all used up, so I'm going to see if you have any better spices. I want good ones, ordinary ones are useless!"

"Oh, is that so? You came at the right time. Last month, a Malaysian merchant came. I traded the bark of the blackthorn tree for some ambergris. You can use it."

"Oh, that's great!" Lantian jumped for joy, "But ambergris is very expensive!"

Mu Nianfeng took out the box of ambergris from the cabinet and handed it to Lantian: "It doesn't matter if it's expensive or not. I just want to smell it. I'll give it to you. It can save your life!"

Mu Nianfeng suddenly stopped talking here, his head froze, and he stared blankly outside the door.

"Uncle Mu, what's wrong with you?"

Lantian turned around following Mu Nianfeng's gaze and was suddenly startled. The box of ambergris fell to the ground with a thud.

She looked out the door in shock, her eyes wide open and moist, and she murmured, "Master!"
