I am immortal

The scene he saw in front of him was something that even Qi Wuhuo, who had been thinking about the Antarctic Changsheng Emperor all the way, had never expected. He saw Yunqin and Houtu, saw the Arctic Ziwei Emperor who was cold and indifferent from beginning to end, and saw Zuo Fuxingjun and Tianpeng Daizhenjun who had fought against him during the battle at the head of the Fire Department.

The folding fan in the hand of Arctic Emperor Ziwei shook slightly.

His brows were cold and plain, and there didn't seem to be many ripples, but sitting there, he showed a demeanor that was completely impossible to ignore, as if the whole room was brightening. The Great True Lord Tianpeng looked at Qi Wuhuo, smiled and nodded.

Behind Empress Houtuhuang Dizhi are Yuanying Yuanjun, Yuanzhi Yuanjun, and Yuanhuang Yuanjun.

Although they are all at the True Lord level with the deepest foundation.

But the three Yuan Lords looked at the gentle Lord Tianpeng over there, but they were all extremely wary.

The most recognized God of War within and outside the Six Realms, an invincible and absolute strong man in an era when the Three Pure Ones and Four Imperial Gods did not appear. He was the guarantee for the North Pole Exorcist Academy to dare to judge the emperor. The God of Heaven, respected by the Heavenly Court, even though he was standing there easily , all give people an extremely oppressive force.

There seemed to be a calm atmosphere in this room.

When Qi Wuhuo walked in, the atmosphere suddenly dispersed. Yunqin smiled and waved. Qi Wuhuo glanced at Beidi and his entourage, returned the salute to the Great True Lord Tianpeng, and then walked slowly over. Qin smiled and said: "Wuhuo Wuhuo, what did you buy?"

Qi Wuhuo put down the things in his hands and responded in a gentle tone.

The Empress of Houtu Emperor smiled and said, "Wuhuo, Yunqin is here to find you."

"Her elders are accompanying her."

This was an explanation of the current situation to reassure Qi Wuhuo. Empress Houtu also knew that in the previous battle, the girl traveled between the demon world and the human world, defeated many demon heroes, and then completed the most critical task. In one step, many Thai characters and jade talismans were pasted on the mountains and rivers. She was not a pampered young lady.

So I was quite satisfied.

Even if he had some quarrel with Northern Emperor Ziwei, he had to admit that he was worthy of being a descendant of Northern Emperor with such fierce martial arts. It was really amazing. He immediately turned his eyes slightly and said: "Wuyu, and Let’s go see the ceremony.”

Qi Wuhuo met Beidi with the etiquette of a junior meeting an elder.

The Great True Monarch of Tianpeng was the True Legend of the Three Purities, and he also received the gift with a smile.

But Lord Zuo Fuxing avoided it and didn't accept it. He said with a smile:

"I'm just an attendant, but I can't bear your courtesy, hahaha..."

"Come on, come on, these are the gifts Yunqin brought."

The atmosphere gradually became much more relaxed and no longer so tense. There was laughter and chatting, just like a real chat between juniors. It just happened that the elders were also there. Qi Wuhuo mentioned the things he bought. They went to prepare today's lunch, while Yunqin chatted with Empress Houtu.

Qi Wuhuo washed the vegetables and placed them on the chopping board.

The kitchen knife in his hand was pressed against the vegetables. The sound of chatting was slightly muffled through a door. The kitchen knife was in Qi Wuhuo's palm, and he easily chopped open the bones. The sound of chopping vegetables was crisp and rhythmic, like As he played a small tune, Qi Wuhuo's mind gradually calmed down, but thoughts emerged one after another.

The Great Emperor Ziwei of the North Pole, the Great Emperor of the Antarctic Immortal, the Empress of the Queen of the Earth...

Royal.

Why is Arctic Emperor Ziwei here today?

An emperor like him cannot easily descend to earth, he must have his own purpose.

Yunqin is just here to resolve conflicts and atmosphere.

Who is His purpose?

The empress of the land emperor? Want to ease the conflict between the local officials and the heavenly officials?

Do you want to persuade the Queen of the Earth to return to heaven?

Or--

I? !

Qi Wuhuo paused and raised his eyes slightly. He heard a gentle knock on the door behind him. He raised his eyes slightly and saw that the kitchen door opened. Emperor Ziwei, who was wearing a black robe and had dull eyes, stood there. Behind Qi Wuhuo.

"The Qi Machine of Immortality."

"It seems that you recently encountered Antarctica."

Qi Wuhuo did not answer. Emperor Ziwei's expression was dull and he said calmly:

"I have been to this town before, and I still remember that the braised pork and tea were good. Now that I am coming down to earth, I would like to go check it out and buy some to go with the wine. Your Majesty Xuanwei, are you willing to go with us?"

Qi Wuhuo wanted to say no.

But he also knew that Arctic Emperor Ziwei had something to tell him.

After glancing at Houtu Emperor Dizhi Niangniang and Yunqin over there, the young Taoist exhaled slowly, made a clang with his backhand, pressed the kitchen knife firmly against the chopping board, wiped his hands, and said in a calm tone: "Please."

Northern Emperor Ziwei nodded lightly, stood up and walked out, followed closely by Qi Wuhuo.

When everyone in the hall saw the two of them coming out together, their expressions changed. The smile in the eyes of Queen Houtu Emperor's Empress paused slightly, her eyes passed over Yunqin in front of her, and landed on Arctic Ziwei. On the Great Emperor, Lord Sanyuan Yuan was shocked, Lord Zuo Fuxing was surprised.

The Empress of Houtu Emperor Dizhi said: "Wu Huo, where are you going?"

Qi Wuhuo said with a gentle voice: "There are still some guests coming today, and the food we bought is not enough. I will go outside to buy some more."

Yunqin's eyes lit up and he said, "Oh?! I haven't seen this town yet."

"me and you togather--"

The folding fan gently pressed on Yunqin's shoulder, and Arctic Ziwei Emperor said calmly: "No need."

The folding fan with a black jade bone was opened, and the eyes of Arctic Ziwei Emperor were as calm as water:

"Have you not finished listening to the story just now? I will go to Hou Tu Huang for this matter."

"I'll help you finish telling Yun Qin the story."

Queen Houtu's eyes narrowed slightly and she said calmly: "It's okay."

When Tianpeng Dazhenjun, Zuo Fuxingjun, Yuanying Yuanjun, etc. saw Hou Tuhuang's Empress, she gently rubbed Yunqin's hair with her palms, and the wooden door opened, and the two of them walked out, but one of them was wearing a robe, and he was very dignified. Graceful and plain, his momentum has already been established, and the other is just a young man wearing a blue robe. They don't seem to be harmonious with each other.

But their backs were straight, their gazes were calm, and they had different but similar perseverance.

The Great True Monarch of Canopy withdrew his gaze.

'I want to say something to my junior brother...'

‘So the purpose of bringing Yunqin is to make Houtu Emperor feel at ease? ’

The Great True Lord Tianpeng suddenly discovered something.

He lowered his eyes slightly and saw the girl who seemed to never have any worries standing there. Her clear and peaceful eyes looked at the backs of Beidi and Qi Wuhuo, and there seemed to be a trace of sadness and sorrow in them.

The Great True Lord Tianpeng was slightly startled.

! ! !

Did she see it?

But immediately a bright smile appeared on the girl's face, and then she hugged the arm of Queen Houtu beside her with both hands. Her eyes were as warm as before, but it seemed that the 'enlightenment' just at that moment was just Tianpeng Dazhen. Your delusion.

……………………

It was just after noon, and there were fewer people on the street, but it was already late autumn.

The sun is not as harsh as it is in summer, and the leaves on both sides have turned yellow. In such an ordinary and simple human town, the appearance of an extraordinary person like Arctic Ziwei will naturally attract people. One after another looked at him, but at this moment people ignored him and just greeted the young Taoist with respect.

Qi Wuhuo and Beidi walked forward without saying a word.

But Qi Wuhuo didn't expect it.

Arctic Ziwei Emperor actually walked to a tea stall and sat down casually. Obviously, what he said about a familiar tea stall and braised pork with wine was not a lie. He ordered two pots of tea and both Wuhuo also sat down, and Emperor Ziwei looked at the human world. There were even chess pieces and chessboards on the table in the teahouse, which were prepared for those idle old people.

This way they can play chess and drink tea at the same time, which can also be regarded as soliciting business.

The shopkeeper served tea, along with a plate of beans and a plate of chopped cold vegetables to go with the tea. He smiled and said, "Please wait a moment, sir. Our braised pork will be ready soon. I'll cut it for you two then." Just a moment, a moment, a moment."

Beidi took a sip of tea, picked up a black chess piece at random, and said:

"If you can play chess, make a move."

Qi Wuhuo did not refute. He mentioned the white chess piece, and the Arctic Ziwei Emperor said:

"When Anji Changsheng saw you, he must have told you his story?"

Qi Wuhuo said in a deep voice: "Yes."

Arctic Ziwei Emperor said: "What do you think?"

Qi Wuhuo closed his eyes. Beidi had already started playing chess. It took the young Taoist a while before he made the move and said, "His goal is to live forever and all things live forever. To do this, he must speed up reincarnation and spend thousands of reincarnations in exchange for one life." Immortality, Arctic Emperor Ziwei thinks, is immortality right or wrong?”

Beidi said calmly: "There is no right or wrong in living a long life, just as there is no right or wrong in living a short life."

"Nature is self-sufficient, and good and evil do not depend on length."

Qi Wuhuo suddenly asked: "Are those souls one?"

Arctic Ziwei Emperor raised his eyes and asked: "Do you think so?"

The young Taoist said: "No."

Arctic Ziwei Emperor said calmly: "I don't want to refute you."

"In my eyes, souls are one."

"However, each reincarnated individual is not the same."

"Each life, each life, is independent and unaffected. In other words, you and your previous life are the same soul, but not the same person."

Northern Emperor Ziwei raised his eyes. He was relaxing in the teahouse today. There was a picture of old cows plowing the fields hanging in the middle. The Northern Emperor pointed at the picture and said: "The soul is like a white paper; and the experiences of a lifetime are like pen and ink." Put it on a piece of white paper and outline the ups and downs, the things you have experienced, the people you have made, friends, and enemies. It is a story of ups and downs, and finally turns into a picture."

"This painting represents one person's life."

"Like this picture of an old cow plowing a field."

"And reincarnation is to reshape this white paper and still turn it into a blank paper, with the same soul."

"Everything I experienced in my second life, those things, those people, the joys and sorrows, are all other outlines."

"Perhaps it will turn into a map of Yama's destiny, or it may just be a thousand-mile grassland."

"The soul is one, just like a painting, but let me ask you, are these two paintings the same one?"

Qi Wuhuo thought about it and replied, "No."

Beidi Luozi wrote lightly: "This white paper is the soul, and the scroll is the human being."

"The soul is just a carrier and an individual person, not the same. Strictly speaking, the people I see and all sentient beings I see are all the things this soul has experienced and all the books it has read during this period of time. , all the coincidences, the subtle ups and downs of emotions in the heart, the individual that everything comes together to form is a person."

"But everything behind is lost, only the soul is left."

"It's just a soul, not a [person]."

"But this is just my own opinion."

Northern Emperor Ziwei raised his eyes and saw the young Taoist who was thinking. His eyes were calm and dull, deep and quiet, and he said: "The point is, the people's own thoughts."

"I feel that I am an individual born from all experiences, all acquaintances and separations, and the things I have experienced; or I am the most essential soul left behind after countless reincarnations, washing away the ink of each experience."

"If it's the former, use countless reincarnations to wash away these traces and experiences, so that the white paper will not be broken in the end."

"It's nothing less than an act of endless killing."

"But if the common people admit that all the things in the world, all their experiences, relatives and friends, their own likes and desires, are just words and ink washed away, a game, and the soul that carries these is their own words; then the road to immortality, It is erasing the meaningless detours and pointing straight to the true, extremely correct path.”

"how do you feel?"

"Zhenwu?"

Qi Wuzhuo pondered for a long time, and the words of Anji Changsheng and Arctic Ziwei came to his ears. The young Taoist held the chess pieces for a long time without making a move. After a long time, he said: "The poor Taoist Qi Wuzhuo thinks..."

"Those experiences, people you meet, and things you encounter are what [people] are."

"If you lose these, it will just be a blank conscious soul."

Arctic Ziwei Emperor raised his eyes: "What's the explanation?"

Qi Wuhuo replied: "There is a disease in the world. People who suffer from this disease will forget their past bit by bit... and eventually they will not remember their relatives, friends, their past and all their experiences. What you like and what you hate.”

"If according to the Antarctic Immortal Emperor, this state is also [his]."

"But from a [human] perspective, when a person gets such a disease and forgets everything, is he still [him]?"

The young Taoist Luo Zi answered himself:

"Of course it's him, because there are other people here, because his relatives and friends are still there."

"But what if even these are erased?"

"Without all interpersonal relationships, without my own past, without my own memories, without my own preferences, without my own desires, only the body and the soul are left as one, breathing in and out, immortality, can be Immortality? Is it [me] who is immortal in that way, or is it just a piece of meat that will never die?"

"Everything longs for immortality, it is [my] immortality, not [pieces of flesh], not [soul] immortality."

Arctic Ziwei Emperor raised his eyes and said:

"If you have personally seen the Antarctic Eternal Life, you still have this idea."

"You can now listen to my teachings."

"True martial spirit."

Qi Wuzhuo was silent and replied: "Qi Wuzhuo, a poor man."

Emperor Ziwei of the Arctic did not comment, he just held the tea cup like a wine cup and said calmly: "In the past countless eras, there was great chaos and gods and gods competing. Do you know where it originated?"

"It is the desire of the immortal."

Arctic Ziwei Emperor said lightly: "Immortality? In my opinion, immortality is poison."

"Eternal life without mind is just a poison in this world. After immortality, many human desires can be satisfied, but what follows are other desires, higher-level desires, and the desire to see more beautiful scenery. Longing to go to higher places, longing for food and wine—"

"In the beginning, just a glass of ordinary dark wine will be enough; later on, I want a good wine, and finally I want a good wine."

"The more experiences you have, the harder it is to satisfy your desires, until finally they turn into wine brewed with the blood of immortals, dragon liver and phoenix marrow as food, and seeing stunning beauties dancing, or if you think these reasons They are all too ordinary and inferior, just like ordinary people. So, what about these——"

"To prove the truth, demand the truth."

"Be the highest."

"To be superior to the Three Pure Ones and Four Imperial Guards."

"In order to pursue the great road, all things should be thrown away?"

"And, pray for immortality."

Arctic Ziwei Emperor stretched out his hand, palm upward, slightly folded, his fingers were white and slender, as if covering some chaotic existence, his tone was calm: "For these reasons, they took action, and finally subverted the era, or in other words , at least created boundless killing——"

"And the way to immortality will only make this unsatisfied desire more intense."

"Eternal life is a great desire. After immortality, one longs for immortality. After immortality, one longs for immortality."

"Fighting and killing, unless he can make all living beings reach immortality immediately, think about it, Qi Wuzhuo, when the number of immortals and gods in the whole world increases ten times and a hundred times, there are a hundred times Donghua, Yin Yao , follow the path of immortality, and have no scruples in pursuit of the Tao, what will happen?”

Arctic Ziwei Emperor's tone was indifferent, and he clasped his fingers together:

"All living things have their own order."

"Abandoning immortality, there are other valuable existences."

"Use your own will to distort and guide all things, so that all living things have only one obsession: immortality. For this purpose, there is nothing that cannot be thrown away and nothing that cannot be killed. Therefore, sons can kill their fathers, daughters can kill their mothers, and all living beings can be slaughtered, in order to seek for me. The Immortal; even such killings will not be noticed."

"Because in that world, experience is just a 'acting' in this life, and the soul is the most authentic thing."

"The so-called family affection, friendship, desire, and persistence are all nothing but worthless."

"Since it is just false and something that will eventually dissipate, and a person's life and death have nothing to do with the soul, then the son killing the father, the mother killing the child, and fighting each other, isn't it just a reincarnation? If you are reincarnated again, you will play this role identity and relationships in one lifetime.”

Arctic Ziwei Emperor said: "If this happens, the entire six realms will be in chaos and madness."

"Everything in the world has its own desires and needs."

"There is no good or evil in human nature. We only act according to our desires."

"If the desire is not curbed, it will expand more and more, eventually leading to chaos."

"Therefore, strict punishments and laws must be used to restrain the people."

"The more immortal people are, the more afraid of death they are. The longer they live, the more afraid they are; young people tend to be calm about death, while most old people are eager to live. Therefore, only the immortal people are the most frightened by death. The fear of death can wake them up and control their desires."

"If you don't kill, it's not enough to establish order."

"Without cutting, it is not enough to maintain the six realms."

"Only kill to protect life."

The Northern Emperor Ziwei spoke calmly. The clouds in the sky behind him were flowing, as if they were suppressed. The sky was thick and dull. The Northern Emperor's eyes were calm. I don't know when a waist card had fallen on the table, with layers of layers on it. The overlapping cloud pattern is right between Qi Wulu and Arctic Ziwei.

Behind the Arctic Emperor Ziwei, the clouds in the sky are thick, but they are dispersed in threads, revealing the appearance of the Arctic stars. The sleeves and robes of the Arctic Emperor Ziwei are rolled up, and his demeanor becomes more and more distant, like the arrival of a myth, with a peaceful voice. road:

"The Fourth Saint of the North Pole."

"Zhen Wu Ling Ying, are you willing to return to your position?"

The wind and clouds are surging, and everything is vast.

The young Taoist looked at the Arctic Emperor Ziwei in front of him and said:

"I dare to ask, who set the order that people follow?"

The Northern Emperor Ziwei looked at him. This emperor who respected the Jade Emperor and had single-handedly shouldered several catastrophes of killing and fighting spoke calmly, as if he was saying the most ordinary thing, and said lightly:

"I."
