After Qiandu.

Ji Qiu took Su Qixiu to visit the seven states and forty-nine counties of Daqian.

Taiyue Mountain is high and the rivers and seas are long. Seeing the prosperity of Qiandu, and seeing the various conditions in the world and the hardships of the people, undoubtedly made the girl who was once trapped between the high walls completely grow up.

During this long journey of thousands of miles, Ji Qiu used the remaining Yuanyang fruit as a medicine, and supplemented it with his own spiritual energy, and finally completely eliminated the Taiyin energy in Su Qixiu's body.

With Taiyin as a Taoist body, when Ji Qiu began to teach Su Qixiu how to practice, her progress did not disappoint her expectations.

I found a sense of energy one day and tried to attract the spiritual energy.

It only takes one month to enter the early stage of Qi refining in this place with thin spiritual energy, show its strength, and progress far beyond Ji Qiu's expectation.

Ji Qiu was naturally very pleased with this.

one year later.

On this day, it was the end of the year and there was heavy snow and frost.

Ji Qiu, who was temporarily staying at the foot of the Xuankong Temple, welcomed a special guest.

The hair he had grown over the year was tied up with a wooden hairpin by Ji Qiu. When others saw him, they could no longer recognize that he was a monk.

Feng Shen is handsome, as bright as a jade tree, and he is dressed in white clothes that are not stained by dust. Anyone who sees him has to praise him as a handsome young man, as gentle as jade.

Of course, the prerequisite is to get rid of his black and white, slightly mottled hair color.

However, at the age of seventeen or eighteen, his whole body exudes old age and vicissitudes of life. This contrast undoubtedly makes people suspicious.

At least Zhao, who was full of spiritual energy and full of energy since he came down the mountain from Tianshi Dao, really thought so.

Zhao Huanzhen was carrying a wooden sword on his back, looking at the man in white who was quietly sweeping the snow, his body full of energy, he paused and hesitated.

In his sense of spiritual energy, if you don't look at the face and the faint spiritual energy fluctuations around him, the man sweeping the snow in front of him is no different from those old people who are about to die at the age of seventy or eighty.

"Really like a little master?"

Zhao Huanzhen walked through the snow and walked closer. After confirming, he couldn't help but ask:

"In just over a year, how could the Qi around you...?"

Hearing the sound, Ji Qiu looked up and saw that Zhao Huanzhen in front of him was still the same as before.

Dressed in purple clothes, with a wooden sword on his back, his Taoism is natural, and his whole body exudes vitality.

It really makes people envious and jealous...

Putting aside the dark thoughts rising in his heart, Ji Qiu smiled slightly, shook his head, raised his finger and made a soft 'shhh' sound:

"Brother Zhao Dao, I haven't seen you for a long time. You are still as charming as before."

"Let's talk inside first."

After finishing speaking, Ji Qiu looked toward the room and spoke in a warm voice:

"Axiu, we have a guest."

Squeak...

In a small courtyard, the door of the main house is open.

The girl in red clothes stepped out of the threshold with a pair of bright brown eyes:

"Is it the master on the mountain?"

After saying that, the woman looked up and saw that she was neither enlightened nor Jingming, but a purple-robed Taoist who looked like an immortal and was only half as good as Ji Qiu in appearance.

"Who is this?"

Seeing an outsider arriving, the woman straightened her hair and spoke curiously.

"It's a close friend I met while traveling down the mountain."

"For a while, I traveled to three mountains and five mountains with Brother Zhao Dao, and paid homage to several world-famous martial arts sects. I was very unhappy for a while."

“When I think about it now, it’s almost the same as yesterday!”

Facing Zhao Huanzhen, Ji Qiu introduced him with a faint smile.

After the woman heard this, she said "oh, oh" twice, and then politely stepped out of the threshold, shoulder to shoulder with Ji Qiu, to welcome Zhao Huanzhen inside.

The two seemed extremely harmonious, and there was no awkwardness in their actions, as if they were meant to be.

The three of them entered the house. Su Qixiu closed the door to hide the wind, snow and cold outside, and then spoke skillfully:

"You guys talk first, I'll make tea."

After the woman finished speaking, she walked towards the inner room on one side.

After Su Qixiu's figure faded away, Zhao Huanzhen finally couldn't bear it anymore.

He first waved his hands to create a soundproofing trick, and then spoke at a rapid speed:

"What happened in the past year or so?"

"Xiao Dao, I still remember when you and I parted. Monk, your cultivation level was higher than mine, but now you look like you are about to die..."

"And that woman, you...are you returning to secular life to get married?"

Zhao Huanzhen went into seclusion in Tianshi Dao and did not care about worldly affairs. Once he got to Tianshi Mountain, he wanted to follow the promise he had made with Ji Qiu Dao and come to him to find immortal fate together.

But I didn't expect that when I saw him today, it turned out that the world has changed and the world has gone through great changes.

With this look, let alone seeking immortality, even if you want to live for a few more years, I'm afraid it's just a luxury...

Zhao Huanzhen frowned:

"Have you made any enemies with advanced cultivation?"

"If that's the case, please tell me your name and origin. I will be successful in my practice in the next year, and I will avenge you."

The purple-robed Taoist spoke solemnly.

He has now consolidated his Daoxing in the middle stage of Qi refining, and his strength is about the same as that of Ji Qiu back then.

As an enemy that even Ji Qiu cannot match, Zhao Huanzhen thinks that his current Taoist practice is not enough, but if he can practice for some more time, he will be confident that he can defeat all enemies!

Hearing Zhao Huanzhen's words, Ji Qiu felt a warm current in his heart.

After traveling together for several months, this Taoist could be regarded as one of the few true friends in his life.

It's gratifying to be able to achieve this.

As a result, Ji Qiu thanked Zhao Huanzhen for his kindness, waved his hand, and recounted everything he had encountered.

At the end, he sighed with emotion and said:

"Everything is fate, nothing is up to you."

"The journey to immortality in this world can only end here. If we really want to bring it up, how can we be willing to do so?"

There is great terror between life and death. Even if Ji Qiu knew that this life was over and that he still had his true body and had the opportunity to march forward and embark on the great road, he could not help but feel fear in his heart.

If reincarnation is real and the real body is just a dream, then what?

According to legend, a person with great enlightenment can discern life and death, but Ji Qiu thought that he was just a practitioner with some Taoism, and he could not see through all this.

This kind of fear keeps creeping into my heart as my lifespan goes by, even when my aura cannot last long.

Death is not terrible.

It takes only a few seconds for the head to fall off, so what's the difficulty?

But watching yourself age step by step, but being unable to do anything about it, and having to wait quietly for death to come, is the most uncomfortable thing.

Only now did Ji Qiu understand why Su Chilong was willing to give up everything and go all out to practice that magic skill when he was nearly a hundred years old.

After Zhou Gong was afraid of the rumors, Wang Mang was humble and did not usurp the throne.

How can there be any born giants and demons?

It's just a step-by-step approach to the abyss of eternal destruction.

Just when Ji Qiu was feeling melancholy.

Su Qixiu, however, held a tray and gently placed two cups of warm tea in front of herself and Zhao Huanzhen.

Looking at the hot tea with white steam and a dozen green leaves floating in front of him, Ji Qiu came back to his senses.
