I'm catching monsters in Liaozhai

Xu Lang stood up.

Stride forward.

He hasn't finished searching this area yet.

Half a day later.

Xu Lang stopped.

Frowning and looking ahead.

There is no road ahead...

There was only a gray area.

It is nothingness.

but,

This is not the point.

The point is…

Nothingness is not static, it moves.

Move forward.

It is eroding the ground under Xu Lang's feet bit by bit.

It doesn't erode very quickly.

Or rather, it's very slow.

But it really moves, touching places.

Whether it's snowflakes, soil, or rocks, they all slowly, slowly become nothingness...

Be part of it.

Xu Lang stretched out his hand.

Gently touching the edge of the gray nothingness.

It is a very special power.

It is the power of time.

Nothing can resist the erosion of time, which can turn everything in the world into decay.

Just a momentary touch.

Xu Lang felt signs of weathering on his fingertips.

He didn't dare to try again.

I'm afraid it will cause some kind of misfortune.

He looked solemn.

The place where he stood was the waist of the mountain range.

this means.

Such changes in this world are not recent events.

Before this.

I don’t know how much territory has been swallowed up by nothingness.

Just as Xu Lang was thinking.

Two figures were walking in the distance.

One old and one young.

old man.

Girl.

The old man was dressed like a scholar, with a thin temperament.

The girl is wearing a green shirt and a silk skirt. She looks pretty and a little cute.

When you see them.

Especially that girl.

Xu Lang was stunned.

I thought I was hallucinating.

Until the girl's voice reached his ears.

"Idiot, is it really you?"

That's right.

This is not an illusion.

"Idiot, I missed you so much!"

The girl didn't care about her reserve and rushed forward.

Waves of faint fragrance wafted into his nostrils.

"Tongtong, why are you here?"

"Six years ago, I went back to Shicheng with the old man, and I couldn't wait to see you. Recently, I don't know why, but the old man asked me to go out with him..."

Tong Tong spoke as she hugged Xu Lang, unwilling to separate.

Pu Songling couldn't bear to watch what happened next.

"Ahem...Tongtong, that's enough, are you going to pretend I don't exist?"

"Humph, I'll just pretend you don't exist. Who told you to lie to me? You could have helped me break the Painted Skin Demon curse from the beginning.

But you tricked me into following you to practice. It took me so many years to finally meet this idiot."

Tong Tong's face turned slightly red and she snorted.

Having said that, she still let go of the hand that was holding Xu Lang.

"If I hadn't said that, would you have been willing to follow me then?"

Pu Songling had been complained by Tong Tong many times over the years, and he had long been accustomed to it.

"I've met senior."

Xu Lang bowed to Pu Songling.

"Good boy, I haven't seen you for many years. You have already entered the fifth level of heaven. Not bad!" Pu Songling praised.

"Haha, idiot, you are only at the fifth level of heaven. I am a little better than you. I am now at the eighth level of heaven."

Tong Tong raised her little fist with a proud look on her face.

Ok?

Because he hadn't seen Tong Tong for many years and was too happy just now, Xu Lang didn't pay attention.

Take a look at this time.

Tong Tong has really reached the eighth level of heavenly realm.

Let's look at Pu Songling again...

As for his four masters, after they entered the fifth level of heaven, Xu Lang could still get a glimpse of them.

As for Pu Songling.

Can't see through.

Completely invisible.

now.

Only then did Xu Lang know.

Pu Songling is the real hidden boss.

"Xu Xiaoyou, I believe you have noticed it too, right?"

Pu Songling looked at the nothingness in front of him and said.

"Well. But, senior, what is going on? Why did this happen?" Xu Lang asked.

"The energy of this world is on the verge of exhaustion. In the near future, it will be destroyed and completely turned into nothingness." Pu Songling said.

Energy depletion?

It was the first time Xu Lang heard this word.

"Is this energy referring to the spiritual energy absorbed by us practitioners?"

“Many people think so, so many years ago, many strong people left this world.

On the one hand, it is to avoid continuing to absorb the energy of this world and causing greater disasters to this world.

On the other hand, it is to find a way to remedy this world."

"Since there is a way to leave this world, if it really reaches a point where it is irreparable, can we take everyone away from this world?"

"It's not that simple. If you want to leave this world, you must first tear the void apart.

Even if you have the ability to tear the void, it will be extremely difficult to cross the void.

If you are not careful, you will fall into the turbulence of the void.

In the turbulent void, it is already extremely difficult to survive, let alone bring a large number of people with you."

"Master, if that's the case, then we can only wait to die?" Tong Tong asked with a frown.

“Although this world is drying up, it will take at least a thousand years for it to truly perish, and we may not be able to live to that time.

Or maybe there will be a way out when the car reaches the mountain, and the boat will naturally go straight when it reaches the bridge. Maybe there will be a solution by then. "

Pu Songling smiled freely and unrestrainedly.

"Master, a good death is worse than a miserable life. I want to live longer."

Tong Tong said.

The two chatted and laughed, which helped to dispel the heavy and depressing atmosphere.

"Senior, you have traveled all over the world and have a wide range of knowledge. Do you know where in this world there is the ten thousand year old snow lotus?" Xu Lang asked.

The world was collapsing, and he couldn't care less.

What he wants to do most now is to save people.

"Ten thousand year old snow lotus?"

Pu Songling shook his head and said, "Do you know what this world we live in is called?"

Xu Lang shook his head.

Pu Songling said: "It is called a place with deficiencies. The rules of heaven and earth are missing, and the number nine is already the limit. Even if it is self-sealed, no living creature can survive for more than ten thousand years."

"In other words, it is impossible for there to be a ten-thousand-year-old snow lotus in this world?" Xu Lang's face turned pale.

"Yes."

Pu Songling nodded and asked, "You traveled all over the place, but are you looking for this ten thousand year old snow lotus to save people?"

Xu Lang nodded slightly.

"Where is the person? If it's convenient, let me see."

Pu Songling spoke.

Xu Lang placed the frozen Yan Yangru on the ground covered with animal skins in a daze.

Pu Songling reached out his hand across the ice and placed it on Yan Yangru's forehead.

Close your eyes.

A faint energy penetrated through the ice and entered the latter's forehead.

A good while.

Pu Songling then opened his eyes again.

"Her soul is severely damaged. If there is no way to save her, she will die within two years.

However, I do have a way to prolong her life. As for how long, we will have to try to find out."

After hearing Pu Songling's next words, Xu Lang, who seemed to have lost his soul, regained his luster in his eyes.

"Thank you, Senior. I'll leave it to you. What do you need me to do? Just tell me."

Xu Lang thanked him repeatedly.

Pu Songling waved his hand and said, "I don't need anything, just find me a quiet cave."

In a cave somewhere.

Xu Lang placed Yan Yangru on the flat ground covered with animal skins.

"Go out and guard outside. No one can disturb me without my order."

Pu Songling waved his hand.

Xu Lang and Tong Tong retreated.

Outside the cave.

The two sat on the ground.

Tong Tong looked at Xu Lang, who looked tired and anxious, and felt distressed. She took his hand and

He consoled her, "My master is very powerful. With his help, everything will be fine."
