I am immortal

After Mr. Lingmiao finished speaking, he saw that the young man's appearance had changed slightly, and felt the turbulence in his heart. Even though the old man had rich experience, he couldn't help but secretly sighed and said doom in his heart, and then raised one side The brass braided teapot, which was fashionable in the world a thousand years ago, poured Qi Wuhuo a cup of tea and said slowly:

"Don't be hasty, don't be difficult."

"Does the young man know how to behave?"

Qi Wuhuo replied quietly:

"If you are a common man, you should repay kindness and revenge if you have the kindness to live."

"Don't be afraid of the world's rebuke."

Lingmiao Gong asked gently: "Then what should the Taoist do?"

Qi Wuhuo said: "Draw the sword for the living beings."

"The demonic energy escapes, and resentment is difficult to quell. First, a disease spreads among the people of Zhongzhou, and then there are demonic obstacles that lead to demons and cause trouble to the whole place."

"It is time to quell diseases and epidemics, slay demons, and kill evildoers."

Lord Lingmiao sighed. The old mountain god looked gentle and compassionate as if he were an elder in the past. He sat in the position of his former teacher and asked the young man in front of him, just like he asked himself a thousand years ago, and said:

"Then what should the judge do?"

The young Taoist was quiet for a long time and then replied: "Follow the law and respect it."

"To be executed."

Mr. Lingmiao didn't say anything. When the tea became cold, he smiled and said quietly: "I have seen many young people like you, but in the end they are still not good enough. You must know that everything must be considered." , when you make a decision at the beginning, it won’t be difficult, both rationality and human feelings will remind you how to do it.”

"They will tell you what is right."

"You know what to do yourself."

“But it is one thing to know, but when the time comes, it is time to do it.”

"Can you really do it?"

"This is the second ordeal."

"So the reason why [killing relatives with great justice] is [great justice] is because it is difficult to do it. There is [hiding from each other] in the laws of the world. If a father conceals his son's sin, he will not be arrested and imprisoned because of it, because although the law Strict, but also considerate of human kindness.”

"And, in the end, whether you do it or not, the impact of this incident will continue to haunt you. When you dream back at midnight, you will think of the decision you made at this moment, and ask your heart, you are worthy of the world and your benefactor. , or to repay one's kindness at the expense of the world."

"You don't hesitate during the day, but every time you wake up quietly at night, these things will still surface."

"I will ask myself if I am ruthless, if I have done something wrong, once, twice, three times, one thing, two things, three things. These things will appear in a surge and eventually become entangled in my Taoist heart. Only then It is qualified to be called [tribulation] of Taoism. Some practitioners call the relationship between men and women a tribulation. How small is it."

"Taoists can know that the calamity of love is for all living beings and for oneself."

"It is the conflict between the great love for all living beings and the kindness of oneself."

"This is how it penetrates deeply into your bones, making you toss and turn, unable to let go, and unable to achieve both ends. This is why Taoism sighs and Buddhism closes its eyes, calling it the Five Difficulties and Eight Sufferings."

Ling Miao was fair: "You don't have to make such a choice. If the culprit is really responsible for this matter, then a higher-level existence from the Arctic Exorcist Academy may eventually be required to come forward. It cannot be saved by you alone, nor can it be killed by you alone. But since you are The envoy of Judge Wu Lei is in Zhongzhou again, so you should write an edict stating your verdict."

"And when the time comes, it will most likely be you who draws the sword."

When the young Taoist put down the tea cup, he realized that his Taoist mind remained as before, but his body was unconsciously tense and strained. When he put down the tea cup, he made a loud sound and movement. He cupped his hands slightly and said:

"Been taught a lesson."

"Where is Mr. Ao Liu?"

Duke Lingmiao hesitated for a moment and then replied: "He? He went to send a niece to the Demon Kingdom."

"There are three branches of the dragon clan, one of which is active in the demon world. Ao Liu's niece wants to travel to the demon clan."

"Old guy, go see her off."

The young Taoist finished his cup of tea, and then mentioned the little peacock who was still eating Laoshan Shenna, a snack that even the older generation of gods like to eat. He said goodbye and left. When he picked up the sword , the sword roared inside the sword box, but the young Taoist's expression was still calm.

However, Lord Lingmiao could see that the eyes of this Taoist disciple were like clouds in the sky. After all, his Taoist heart was shaken.

Don't shake your heart.

It cannot be called a calamity.

What can be easily overcome is not worthy of being called a disaster.

When Qi Wuhuo left, a mountain god on one side thought for a long time, and finally couldn't help but stepped forward, raised his hands and asked: "Lingmiao Gong, which one is right and which one is wrong, kill or save? I know Even if it is a matter of great righteousness, we cannot fail to repay the kindness of living."

The old mountain god replied: "Right? Wrong?"

"What nonsense are you talking about."

Duke Lingmiao sighed and said: "Under the great road, there is no right or wrong, only choices."

"It's not like you make a choice and everything is over."

"After one choice, there will be another choice. The road is like flowing water, and all living beings are like rocks. Falling into the water, they are impacted by the undercurrents going up and down, so everyone changes and gains something. Some people go down with the trend, and some are shattered. But no matter what, you can’t say this is wrong and that is right.”

"It's just a choice."

"Of course, after making a choice, you must bear the consequences."

"Choose one's path, accept its consequences, come and go with the sword, and keep my heart unchanged, this is the true path."

Lord Juyun Lingmiao stood up, sighed, and said: "Didn't you and I arrive here just because of conscious or unconscious choices, and we will inevitably continue to move forward? Is it really right or wrong to look back now?"

The mountain god pondered for a long time and then asked: "Then...this Taoist priest had previously cut off the incense of the Earth God."

"Why don't you bring this matter up and ask him for help with another sword strike?"

Lingmiao Gong shook his head and said: "He just came here and entrusted you and me to just keep an eye on the demonic energy. Now he is making a request. It smells of coercion. This is not good. Besides, he is absorbing the incense on his own. This This has caused my life span to collapse, and it is already a great thing to be able to extend my life by three months."

"Even if Judge Qi is unwilling to help, it is a matter of course."

"I can't complain."

The mountain god was obedient for a long time and then retreated, just out of curiosity.

If this is the case, then why did Lord Lingmiao seek this young Taoist so earnestly?

Could it be that there are other reasons?

When everyone left, Lingmiao Gong's official residence had become empty. After the mountain god got up and put on his armor, he raised a sword, and then asked: "You should have heard what I heard just now. Right, Ao Liu? How do you feel? "

What kind of person is Lingmiao Gong? When he knew about the emergence of evil spirits, epidemics, and miasmas, he had already concluded that there must be a problem with the precipitation of the Dragon King of the Jing River. After inviting Qi Wuhuo back, he already went to get the tea set. Send a message to Ao Liu and ask him to come over. Ao Liu is the master of thousands of miles of water. He has opened a water palace and is extremely powerful. He came here silently.

Lord Lingmiao saw the old Dragon King standing there quietly.

Seeing the old Dragon King's calm expression and majestic face, his pair of dark golden eyes were sharp at this moment. On one side of his cheek, there were still scars left by the backlash when it rained in Jinzhou a few years ago, which made him even more attractive. Ferociously, Lingmiao Gong and Ao Liu have known each other for thousands of years, and they know each other's methods. The knife in the old mountain god's palm whistled slightly, and he said slowly: "Ao Liu..."

"When did you know about your son's rain problem?"

The old Dragon King said: "Half a month ago, the rain dispersed the epidemic."

Duke Lingmiao suddenly said: "That's why it rains so often these days. It's because you are completely eliminating the remnants of the epidemic..."

The two were quiet for a long time, but Lingmiao Gong finally couldn't help it and said: "Although you are responsible for the responsibilities of the Dragon King of Jinghe River, it is your son who has caused the clouds and rain in the past few years. These things are well-documented and should be reported to the police." Penglaiji, they will know after just one investigation. Although you are guilty by then, it will only be due to [lack of supervision] and dereliction of duty."

"The punishment will be heavy, but at least you can save your life."

The old Dragon King looked at him, smiled, and asked, "Are you going to let a father watch his son die?"

Lingmiao Gong's voice paused.

This matter will lead to death.

Ao Liu might be killed because of his ineffective supervision and his arbitrary delegation of power without supervision, which would lead to great disaster.

The situation of 3,600 years has been broken, and the demonic energy has circulated in the world, and there must be great changes.

Or behead his son, because the person who did it was his son, and Ao Liu was deceived and failed to do his duty.

Ao Liu said: "It's because I didn't supervise well, and it's also because I never visited the friends my son made. I never thought that he would be deceived by others and have a chance to take chances. If the son doesn't teach him, it's the father's fault and he will be punished on his behalf." , it’s a matter of course, as for my son, maybe he will go to Suolongjing and survive.”

Lingmiao Gong looked at the hideous injury on his old friend's forehead with a complicated expression and sighed:

"Back then, if you hadn't forced yourself to go to Jinzhou to rain, and you were hit by that blazing evil spirit, which caused the blazing fire poison to linger in your internal organs, with your way of doing things, why would you have needed to hand over the position to you in such a hurry? How could such a thing happen if my son is in charge?"

"If you hadn't needed to retreat to get rid of the fire poison, you would have noticed when he was doing something."

Ao Liu didn't answer, just smiled and said: "What happened back then is in the past."

Ling Miao was fair: "The child survived the incident in Jinzhou, right?"

Ao Liu said: "Yes."

The dragon is an object that was recently born in the innate world. It is natural to have a photographic memory.

He still remembered that day when he was walking through Jinzhou and saw a young child lying there. When the rain started to fall, the child opened his eyes. They met again at a teahouse in Zhongzhou. He was holding a child in his arms. , lowered his head and saw the young Taoist walking through the world of mortals, so he realized that the wonders of this world are indescribable.

Lord Lingmiao hesitated for a moment and said, "That child...is now the Five Thunder Judge of the Arctic Exorcist Academy."

"you……"

Ao Liu smiled and replied:

"I'm waiting for him to kill me."

Mr. Lingmiao looked faintly sad.

He had countless things to say.

But in the end, he did not say it, but what a stupid thing Ao Liu was doing now, even giving up his life to save that hopeless fool. He had countless reasons to persuade Ao Liu, but standing with Ao Liu, he could Use the words father and son to explain clearly.

The old Dragon King picked up the wine, toasted his old friend, and said:

"Whether you are a human or a dragon, you will eventually die."

"The immortal officials in the heaven are busy all day long, and all they do is get the life-extending elixirs in the heaven; the Yin gods are running around, all they crave is the Yin virtues and longevity, in order to seek rebirth."

"But my death can let my son know what his responsibility is, and let him know that whatever he does, he has to pay a price, and this price includes me. The greater the power, the greater the implication, the greater the price." The bigger one, let him understand this through my death, and I can bring him back to the right path."

"If he was still stubborn at that time, he would be hopeless."

After finishing the first glass of wine, he poured the second glass of wine and said:

"You can give that child Wu Huo a sword to cut off cause and effect and grudges. I saved him, and he killed me for righteousness. Only in this way can he shape his Taoist heart, understand his path, and know his determination. If he kills me, My son, I don’t have such fluctuations in my mood anymore. If you kill me, you will know that his future is boundless."

"In this way, there can be an upright judge between heaven and earth, who can sweep away all evil with thunder."

He drank the second glass of wine, but drank half of the third glass of wine, and the remaining half only spilled on the floor.

"Third, use my flesh and blood to repay Zhongzhou with a grudge."

"There's no regrets anymore."

Three glasses of wine were finished.

The old Dragon King stood up: "Everyone wants to live, I want to die."

"With my life, I will save my son from going astray, mold the young man's Taoist heart, and give all living beings a rain of dragon's blood."

"Old friend, do you think it's okay to die like this?"

He smiled and said, "But you still have to give me seven days."

Ling Miao Justice: "What are you going to do?"

Ao Liu said: "Go and do something I have to do. As you said, just follow the original agreement and send my niece to a safe place, and then settle some things. I know you are worried about me with the knife." Run away, don't worry, I'm no match for you in this Lingmiao Mountain, if you take action, I will be captured, but I still hope you can trust me."

"Let me go now."

"I won't run away."

"After seven days, Ao Liu will come back naturally and die and be punished."

After a long time, the mountain spirit Miao Gong slowly put away his sword.

Dragon King Ao Liang laughed loudly, cupped his hands slightly, drank all the wine, and drank up the thousand years of grievances. He also said that "you are a Taoist friend, take care of me" and said goodbye here. He turned around and left. Lord Lingmiao couldn't help but take a step forward. He shouted like this and asked: "Ao Liu, seven years ago, you rescued people in Luoyu in Jinzhou, and suffered the bitter consequences now. Do you ever regret it?"

The Dragon King did not answer, but just laughed a few times and waved his sleeves and robes casually. His back was free and easy. Although his hair was gray and his face was ferocious, he still had the same demeanor that made Zhongzhou chess players fall in love with him back then.

Has turned into a divine dragon and left.
