Chapter 41: Life and Death
Chapter 41
Yu Linling's spirit has improved a lot. Over the years, Bai Jian has taken away her son, and she knows it very well. But she is worried that the demon clan in Xianzhou will chase her and cause trouble for her, so she pretends not to know.
Bai Qi was stunned for a while, and when he saw Yu Linling stop talking, he said, "Then... Mom, why did he sacrifice himself to save me?"
The father he mentioned was Bai Jian. After so many years of father-son family affection, he could not give up just by saying that he was not a biological child.
"He has considered you a biological son, so there is still a question. Some people talk about feelings, some people..." Yu Linling rolled up the scroll and handed it to Bai Qi and said, "Some people will only love themselves. This scroll was drawn by him and contains the essence of the Sword of Killing Immortals. I guess you will not become a sword cultivator in the future, but the sword energy stored here can be saved at critical moments."
Bai Qi did not disgust the origin of this scroll and put it away as he said.
"Qi'er, mom may not be able to do it anymore. You have to make your own plans for the future. If you have any questions, please speak up while I still understand." Yu Linling now does not have the majesty of the past, but just looks like an ordinary middle-aged woman.
"mother?"
"My golden elixir is broken, my body is eroded by the sword energy of the Killing Immortal, and even the gods cannot save it."
"I don't know..." Bai Qi's answer was a little confused. His intelligence was useless at the moment. His daily support was about to leave him, and there was only one person left in the world.
"I will understand sooner or later, but unfortunately, my own practice is fine, but I am not good at teaching you. Qier..."
Yu Linling wanted to say something encouraged, but saw Bai Qi crying silently.
"Why are you crying?" Yu Linling's tone became stern. Bai Qi remembered that this is how she educated Xiaoyu on weekdays.
"If you are sad, just cry." Bai Qi did not wipe his tears or choked.
"That's good, Qi'er, people are always going to die. Immortals cannot avoid it, let alone us."
At this time, Bai Qi was not in the mood to ask why the immortal died. He just said, "Mom... I am willing to listen to the teachings."
"Okay, I don't have much to teach you. I just tell you that in the world of Taoism, everything is based on immortality. If you cannot live forever, it will be useless to have great skills. Then the sword cultivator who deceived me, and his ability, the immortals in the late stage of Hedao are no match for him, but he is still dead. If I don't kill him, he will not be able to escape the disaster."
"Eternal Life..." Bai Qi felt like a thunder was blowing in his heart, and only a pale color was left in the world. These two words hit his heart heavily. If he could not live forever, no matter how great his ability was, it would be useless.
This is true for his parents, and that is true for Emperor Jin, Prince Yan, and Qin II.
"It's just that immortality is difficult, and I go against the sky. When I reach a certain stage, there will be a heavenly tribulation. Before this, there were various disasters, either outside or caused by themselves, and it was impossible to explain them. Therefore, Qi Refiners have to learn various Taoisms and resist them. Just like those Taoists just now, they are my disasters. I have been hiding in the Bai Mansion for more than ten years, but they are still found by them. If I don't go out and walk around, they will have no choice but to do anything to me."
"Mom, I was the one who harmed you!" Bai Qi was a little excited and coughed.
"No, the Duke of the Kingdom is going to advance to the Land Sword Immortal, so he is not a simple warrior, but he will also encounter disasters. If he dies, I will still not be able to escape. I will go out and plan for you, but the reason is that the Duke of the Kingdom's Mansion will not be able to save it. Qi'er, these things are called cause and effect in Buddhism, and Taoism is called disasters. They cannot be escaped..."
"What if I escape?"
"Then you will transcend the heaven and earth, live and die forever, and you can pass through it safely no matter how many chaos or how many disasters."
"Mom, if you die, will you..."
Bai Qi suddenly asked this question, and he heard Bai Jian say that after his death, his soul will never die, but he can go to the underworld to become a general. What about his mother?
"I am a heavenly demon. If I die, I will die. I will transform into the demonic energy. Even if I can be reincarnated, I will still be a monster with unenlightened intelligence."
"Can you leave any marks?" Bai Qi thought of some stories in the book and asked anxiously.
"Of course, it's just that it's marked, it's contaminated with disasters. At that time, I'm afraid that if you don't find me, I'll be killed." Yu Linling forced a smile and said, "Qi'er, do you think your mother doesn't want to live anymore? If you can live, no one will want to die. When the master was ascended, he didn't dare to take us sisters, just because he was afraid of this disaster. Without absolute power, you will never be able to resist fate."
Bai Qi had stopped crying and felt weak all over. He was just a Qi Refiner in the early stage of Qi transformation. In the area where Taoist art was suppressed, he could still rely on the reverse scale gun to be powerful. Even in Zhongzhou, there might be millions of Qi Refiner like him. He is not qualified to compete with his fate.
"Qi'er, my mother is not willing to die like this. If you can practice to the level of the Qing Emperor back then, you can naturally calculate where I am. So, you have to work hard."
"Is this possible?" Bai Qi's eyes showed a hint of excitement and doubt.
"I also heard that. The Qing Emperor is a demon immortal in Zhongzhou, but his reputation spreads to Jiuzhou and goes straight to the heaven. At that time, there were millions of great demons in the Qing Emperor Palace, and almost formed a world of its own. The Qing Emperor also built a self-destructed Generals and God-Slaying Platform. All his subordinates can immortalize their souls and will not enter the reincarnation of the underworld. I think he has this ability."
"Slaying the Generals and the Gods Platform? Mother, is this!"
Bai Qi quickly took out the demon spirit gourd and handed it to Yu Linling. Yu Linling swept his divine thoughts and said in disappointment: "You are just a phantom. If you want to restore the true face of the General's Seizure Platform, you need to become an immortal throne."
Seeing Bai Qi also disappointed, Yu Linling smiled and said, "Qi'er, you have the Qing Emperor's reverse scale spear, Qing Lei's true solution. As long as you don't die, you will sooner or later become an immortal throne. Even if you can't reach the height of Qing Emperor, it will be enough to rebuild the General-Slaying God Platform. At that time, it will not be difficult to summon my blinded soul with a drop of blood."
"Okay, mom, I will work hard to practice and achieve the immortal position..." Bai Qi also felt a little misty when he said this.
Although Qinglei Zhenjie is an unparalleled Taoist technique, if no one guides him, the road to cultivation is still difficult.
Yu Linling was keen and immediately said: "Qi'er, you are wrong to be obsessed with my life and death. If I have the opportunity, I can naturally do it again. If not, the day you achieve the immortal throne will completely disappear from heaven and earth. If you are eager to achieve success and destroy yourself, it will be of no benefit to me. My efforts over the years will also turn into flowing water."
"Then what should I do?"
Yu Linling sighed. He didn't expect that things would develop so quickly. Bai Qi's cultivation had just begun. If no one advised him, it would be thankful that he could make golden elixirs.
"Qi'er, after I die, my corpse, you will bring it to the source of Chujiang River. The cave of King Chujiang should be connected to the Styx River. At that time, you will save my corpse there. If you have a seal from King Chujiang, it should not be difficult to enter there. You don't have to worry about the rest. And don't accept the power of King Chujiang. In a hundred years, the Heavenly Court will send a new Heavenly Emperor inspector. If you are there, the cause and effect will be found."
"I don't know what we did now?" Bai Qi was surprised.
"The young master Yan was so greedy that he deceived the heavens. When he died, he was in the Qin King's Mausoleum. The Heavenly Court had no idea what happened. Su Mei of the Kunlun Sect had appeared. The Heavenly Court could not verify whether it was Su Mei's actions, nor could he enter Kunlun to testify. This was because she blocked the disaster for you, but she forced Xiaoyu away, and you didn't owe her anything."
Bai Qi thought about it, but Yu Linling didn't let him continue thinking, and said to Bai Qi: "It will be very difficult for you to practice without anyone to guide you. The reverse scale gun cannot be used, and it will inevitably die against powerful enemies. Therefore, you must not reveal any information related to the Qing Emperor. Don't worry about Xiaoyu's affairs for the time being. Su Mei, Kunlun, does not have the qualifications to take you away, otherwise she would have taken it away long ago. She was blind."
"Mom, I will find a sect to join in and practice patiently."
Seeing that Yu Linling had been talking for so long, Bai Qi finally figured it out and said happily, "That's it. Go to the south and find a bigger sect. No matter what master you are, as long as someone is willing to teach you."
"What about... what about dad?" Bai Qi was talking about Bai Jian. He didn't want to give up this nominal father.
"Bai Jian may not be able to survive. If he does not die, everyone in the Bai family will be beheaded. He can only fight to the death with Emperor Jin. Once he dies, Emperor Jin will say that Bai Jian was killed by Qi Refiners. No one in the Bai family can reach Bai Jian's height and will no longer have any threat to his throne."
"That dad said..."
"He didn't lie to you. The warrior has reached the level of a land sword immortal. His soul is immortal and stronger than a Qi Refiner. Under the underworld, the Hades have great courtesy for such souls and can be directly named as a ghost and god.
After thinking about it, Bai Qi decided to listen to his mother's words and send her body to the Styx. With his current strength, he could not help with anything, and it could only be considered a burden.
Seeing that Bai Qi quickly reversed his emotions, Yu Linling felt relieved. Bai Qi was born in a demon clan after all, and he had seen much less of a concern about life and death than the human race. If he had not been educated by humans for more than ten years, Bai Qi might even ask her directly how to deal with her affairs after her death, and would not have had so much hesitation.
The sky slowly darkened, and Yu Linling closed her eyes when the sun set. Before this, she kept telling Bai Qi about the Taoist world, but she didn't know much about Zhongzhou, and most of the things she said were about Xianzhou.
Bai Qi didn't ask any questions anymore, but just kept his mother's words in his heart word by word.
Yu Linling arranged her affairs and went peacefully. In the first half of her life, she was carefree and free, and in the second half, she was on the run, which was very hard. It was also a relief that her only son had a future.
