Chapter 484 Snow’s Obsession
"..." Jiang Wen couldn't help but be a little stunned when he heard Xiu Qi's words. He didn't expect that his death would bring such great emotion to Xiu Qi, so much so that he had the idea of fighting heaven and earth for his life.
But this is easy to say, but how difficult it is to do. Human lifespan will eventually come to an end. Even a saint only lasts tens of thousands of years. Even for a man of extraordinary talent, living a hundred thousand years is considered a long life, and living longer would become a legend.
However, when thinking about Xiu Kai's future generations, Jiang Wen actually believed in his idea of competing with heaven for his fate. After all, being able to live for hundreds of thousands of years by devouring disciples, Xiu Qi, as the infinite ancestor, has indeed implemented his own philosophy.
The eight desolate and Liuhe self-respecting skills may be the miraculous skills created by Xiu Qi in pursuit of immortality.
"Life and death are natural cycles. Some people die, but they are still alive. Some people are alive, but they are already dead. When you are born in the world, you might as well look for the morality in your heart. Only in this way can you have the meaning of existence." Jiang Wen was silent for a moment before answering. He also picked up a bottle of wine and put it into his mouth.
"Even if you live the same life as heaven and coexist with the earth. If you have no thoughts in your heart, you are just like a mountain of rocks. Is this kind of life really what you want?" Jiang Wen asked again.
"For me, none of this is important. The important thing is to live." Xiu Qi lowered his eyebrows after listening to Jiang Wen's words. After a long time, he slowly opened his mouth and expressed his thoughts. "Thank you for the wine, and thank you for talking to me so much. If I could meet you earlier, I would probably change some of my obsessions. But for me now, living is my obsession."
Xiu Qi smiled and threw the wine bottle in his hand to Jiang Wen. He turned around and left, reaching out and waving at him.
"If you are free, you can come and sit in my house. I gained a lot from talking with you today."
As soon as the words fell, the person disappeared into the night.
After the exchange, Jiang Wen realized how terrifying Mingji's talent was. The skills he gave me can be understood after just one glance.
As Chunyang Zhenren Chifeng said, saints and other monks are two kinds of creatures. Only when you reach the realm of a saint can you understand what it means to be a saint and everything below you is like an ant.
The ceremony of worshiping gods lasted for ninety-nine and eighty-one days. The monks discussed Taoism and the Taoist palace taught them.
After getting up and leaving, only the moonlight was left on Shennong Mountain.
"Fortunately, he is just a genius from the Tai Cang Era. If he did this, I'm afraid he would make everyone in the Xianmen hundreds of families angry." Jiang Wen wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, feeling that talking to Ming Ji would hurt his self-esteem.
Among them, there are those who have experienced enlightenment and entered the realm of lighting lamps in one day, and there are ordinary people who have realized the principles of cultivating the Tao halfway. There are monsters and monsters that transform into humans, and there are monks who die in the morning after hearing the Tao.
There are really thirty million immortals in heaven, and only saints are like the gods.
Jiang Wen took the wine bottle, held it in his hand and looked at the place where Xiu Qi disappeared. After a long while, he sighed softly and put the wine bottle into his storage bag.
He was secretive and kept quiet, pretending to be an ordinary person listening to the sermons of Daogong Zhenren. I was even lucky enough to meet a saint, who transformed into a holy lotus and landed on the ground, speaking the truth and enlightening the world. The scene was filled with people, and all those who had cultivated their abilities came to listen to the sermon.
Only after meeting the saint in person did Jiang Wen realize that there was still a big gap between him and the saint. It's not just a difference in cultivation, but also a fundamental difference.
In those days, there were always mixed sounds of Taoism coming from Shennong Mountain. Everyone who passes by, regardless of age or sex, will stop and listen.
Ming Ji's cultivation speed is very fast, but in less than ten days, she has already entered the realm of refining essence and transforming qi. It was faster than him, the first-generation Qi Refining cultivator, to the point where Jiang Wen even wondered whether it was him or Mingji who was cheating.
"That's all, everyone has his own ambitions. He is no longer the boy he was before."
All the changes are really amazing. Even the well-informed Jiang Wen couldn't help but be attracted by the Dao Discussion Conference on Shennong Mountain.
Jiang Wen also gained a lot from listening to the saint's discussion for three days. He also met Mingji, who rarely showed a bright smile on her cold face after meeting him.
After saying goodbye, he went to Xue's mansion again.
Xue's mansion is much larger than before. Although it is still simple, the decoration is extremely exquisite. With hundreds of servants at her service, she doesn't need to worry about anything big or small in the house.
Jiang Wen also met the housekeeper of Xue Mansion, who was a young girl. After asking, he found out that this girl was actually over 800 years old. It's just that she is one of the immortals, so she can live for thousands of years. For this reason, the people in their tribe usually do not grow very mature. They are always like boys and girls, and they will grow old rapidly until the day before they die. Jiang Wen expressed envy for such talent. After all, what human being wouldn’t envy being able to maintain a youthful appearance throughout his life?
However, there are advantages and disadvantages. A thousand years of life also brings difficulties in reproduction. The Immortals clan has very few newborns, and a couple usually has at most two children in their lifetime. Although they can also intermarry with foreigners, their descendants do not have immortality.
Therefore, there are very few intermarriages between the Immortal clan and outsiders, and most of them are digested internally.
However, if the other party is a monk, the Immortal Clan will be accommodating. After all, monks have a long lifespan, and most of their descendants will inherit the gift of immortality.
After talking to Xue's housekeeper, Jiang Wen finally understood Xue's daily living habits.
Xue's life is very simple. Apart from her responsibilities, she likes to stay in the house and read. Her life was ordinary and uneventful.
Jiang Wen tried to ask the housekeeper: "Have you, Mr. Xue, ever had a sweetheart?"
After saying this, he was met with a questioning look from the butler: "How could Master Xue have a sweetheart? Who in Tai Cang is worthy of Master Xue? Don't speak of Master Xue in such a vulgar way, Master Xue won't care. This worldly kindness and love.”
"Does that mean it's gone?" Jiang Wen sighed a little in his heart after hearing what the butler said. It's like the elders feel a little uncomfortable when they hear that the younger generation is still unmarried in middle age.
"Is it possible that you have thoughts about Master Xue?" The housekeeper was wary.
"...Don't say goodbye..."
"It's normal to like him. Who in the world wouldn't like Master Xue? I just advise you to stop thinking about it. Master Xue won't like a vulgar person like you." The housekeeper interrupted Jiang Wen and said with disgust. .
Hearing what the housekeeper said, Jiang Wen couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. He really has no thoughts about Xue. After all, he is his apprentice. Who would attack his apprentice? It’s just that this butler’s mouth is too poisonous. How could he be a vulgar person? ! It's simply a slur.
Jiang Wen wanted to talk to the housekeeper when he saw Xue walking in from outside.
"Are you here?" Xue asked.
"Last time you invited me to have hot pot, so I came." Jiang Wen said with a smile.
"I speak and keep my word." Xue nodded and asked the butler to prepare the ingredients.
She and Jiang Wen sat opposite each other, and the two looked at each other quietly for a moment.
"After the God Sacrifice Ceremony, you have to face the King of Heaven." Xue said.
"When you meet the King of Heaven, remember the plan we told you."
"I know." Jiang Wen nodded helplessly. "There's no need to stress this anymore."
"This is very important, related to the future of Tianyuan City." Xue said seriously. "That's what he always wanted."
"..." Jiang Wen sighed secretly, not knowing what to say.
If possible, he would like to say to Xue: Don't pay too much attention to his words, you have your own way to go.
She shouldn't live under his influence, that's not what Jiang Wen wants to see.
