Qing Miao'er has already seen through all this. She understands that if this kind of thing happens once, it will happen a second time and a third time. If she lives, maybe more people will die for her.
Immortality has always been just a dream, a mirror, a flower in the water, and behind it are countless mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
Even the former Dragon Emperor sacrificed the entire ethnic group, but only in exchange for three hundred years of survival. In the end, the ethnic group had nothing to sacrifice, and they were still faced with death.
"It was me who was wrong after all... I was confused for a moment and made this huge mistake."
Hou Qing's white and blood-red eyes were full of confusion, and he woke up.
However, his hair turned from black to white in an instant, and turned into a head of white hair like Qing Miao'er, full of the desolation of old age.
It turned out that my hair turned gray overnight, and it really does exist.
He gently picked up Qingmiao'er from the wheelchair, and her rickety body stood up again.
"Give me a few days, I will surrender, and I will make amends for the crimes I have committed."
Hou Qingbai's eyes never left Qing Miao'er for a moment. He hugged Qing Miao'er and slowly walked towards the inner courtyard.
"etc!"
Li Tian suddenly stopped him.
Hong Luo and Yun Zhi on the side also recovered from the sad atmosphere and looked at Li Tian in confusion, thinking that he would only be willing to see Hou Qing Bai Fufa with his own eyes.
"Don't worry, he will do what he says. Give him and his wife some final time together."
At this time Hongluo also tried to dissuade Li Tian.
But Li Tian didn't want to stop Hou Qingbai from leaving. He took out Qing Miao'er's charm, the seemingly ordinary jade bracelet, from his arms.
"Back to you!"
He threw the jade bracelet towards Hou Qingbai, and it stopped in mid-air when it flew to Hou Qingbai's side.
Hou Qingbai slowly turned his head, and when he saw the jade bracelet, he had a lot of thoughts in his heart. This was the token of love he gave to Qing Miao'er back then.
He couldn't help but choke and his voice became hoarse.
He looked at Li Tian with a hint of relief in his eyes.
"Thanks..."
Hou Qing left in vain, and his wife disappeared from everyone's eyes.
The willow tree next to the bridge lowered its branches, as if it was saying goodbye to the hostess.
Too many things happened tonight, more than what Li and Tian have experienced in their lives. What happened here will have a great impact on the future of both of them.
"He is a sinner, but at the same time, he is also a hero, not only to Lingyun City, but also to his wife."
Hongluo turned her head and looked at the two people and the dog beside her with a smile, and continued.
"I want to congratulate you for completing the first extraordinary task in the history of the academy. I never thought you would succeed. It turns out that I was wrong, especially for you, Li Tian."
For Hongluo, Li Tian and the others were just fledglings. For a task of this level, they were just sent to deal with Lingyun City's assignment. There was no chance of completing it, but unexpectedly, something unexpected happened.
wrong.
Facing Hong Luo's praise, Li Tian couldn't feel happy at all.
If he was asked to choose again, he would never do this damn task again, even if he was expelled from the academy.
He did not answer Hong Luo's words, but slowly walked to the side of the Bodhi tree that had fallen to the ground.
Among the numerous bones, Li Tian soon saw several familiar figures.
It's just that the corpse has long since dried up and has no human appearance.
Is this the same classmate he was chatting and laughing with two days ago?
The corpses were all dead with eyes closed, as if they were filled with deep reluctance before dying.
"I'm sorry, I couldn't save you."
Li Tian felt deeply guilty for their deaths.
At the age of fifteen or sixteen, they should have had the best years of their youth, but now they are buried in the soil and become the heroic souls of young people.
"I have killed my enemy. You can rest in peace. Soon, someone will come to take you home."
Li Tian sighed and stepped forward, reaching out and closing their eyes.
He saw a corpse with a little finger missing from his arm. He knew that this corpse belonged to Zhao Yinyu.
"Xiao Zhao, when you encounter danger in the next life, hide away. Don't do what you did in this life. You only know how to plunge in. If you die, there will be nothing left."
The last words the other party sent him before he died were still deeply imprinted in his mind.
The two met in the group. Zhao Yinyu was a talkative person in the group, complaining and gossiping almost all the time. He also had a young man's sense of justice in his heart, but now there is a gap between yin and yang.
The mountain of corpses in front of him and the strong earthy smell filling the air reminded Li Tian all the time of the cruelty of the world of cultivation.
Everyone on the ground seemed to have heard Li Tian's words. The ferocious look on the faces of everyone who was originally full of hatred slowly faded away, revealing a trace of tranquility.
"Brother."
At this time, Yun Zhi also slowly came behind Li Tian and put his hand on his shoulder.
This is Yun Zhi's way of bringing comfort to Li Tian.
"It's over here, let's go back to the college. They... I will arrange for their families to come and take them back for burial. The college will also give their families a pension, so you don't have to worry."
Hong Luo sighed softly and looked at everything in front of her. The death of a student would not be easy for any teacher in the academy to see.
But this is spiritual practice, and death is the foundation of spiritual practice.
Li Tian and the others have completed their mission, and they don't need to worry about anything that will happen next, including the bodies of their classmates and Hou Qingbai's follow-up. People from Lingyun City's law enforcement team will take over.
Not long after, everyone was already in the car going back to the academy. The car was still the same car, but the driver was changed. He was no longer the Mediterranean who had driven Li Tian twice. I wonder if it was because Hong Luo was in the car.
As a result, the other party does not dare to show up.
"If you have anything you want to ask, please ask as soon as you have time on the road. I'll have something to do when I get back to the academy."
Hong Luo lay lazily on the seat with a bored look on her face. At this moment, she no longer had her usual aloof look, as if she was showing a different version of herself in front of Li Tian and the others.
"Nothing to ask?"
Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, Hongluo narrowed her eyes and glanced at Li Tian and the others again.
At the same time, Yun Zhi also turned to look at Li Tian. Li Tian was quiet for a while, and those who didn't know thought he had fallen asleep.
"Why did you save us? But didn't save the others? You obviously have this ability, so they don't need to die."
Li Tian slowly opened his eyes. He was very grateful that Hong Luo had saved them, but this did not mean that Zhao Yinyu and the others could just forget about it.
Hong Luo knew he would ask this and had already thought about how to respond. Her expression no longer looked lazy and turned serious.
"First, I wasn't there when they died. I'm not a bodyguard! Second, even if I were here, I still wouldn't take action."
"This is not just a rule of the academy. If I take action, I will definitely alert the enemy. What about Hou Qingbai? Who will catch him?"
"They have taken on the task themselves, so they must be prepared to sacrifice at any time. This is not a joke, everything is the overall situation."
If it had been anyone else, Hong Luo would have been too lazy to explain, but Li Tian and the others had just completed their mission, and they still had to say what needed to be said. Even if they didn't understand, saying it or not saying it was another matter.
"Aren't you in the transcendent realm? Just arrest Hou Qingbai directly. If he doesn't admit it, then lock him up until he admits it. Beat him until he admits it. Wouldn't it be better than so many people dying?"
Also, why can't we just do something that can be suppressed with strength, and why should we look for some so-called evidence? If he didn't know so much, the current result would still be unknown.
"Alas~"
Hong Luo sighed softly, with some helplessness appearing on her face.
She looked at Li Tian intently and said slowly.
"Do you really think that Hou Qingbai is only as simple as he seems? Moving Mountain Realm, talk about only Moving Mountain Realm, do you think his strength is not like that of Moving Mountain Realm? If you really want to say that, his realm should be called Da Bi.
Mountain environment is the right place.”
As soon as Hong Luo's words came out, Li Tian's trio looked at each other with puzzled expressions. This was the first time they had heard of the term "Daqi Shanjing", including Yun Zhi, the young master of a large family.
They knew that Hou Qingbai was very strong, and could even fight back and forth with Hong Luo, who was in the transcendent realm, but in the end, he was suppressed by Hong Luo the whole time. But according to what Hong Luo said just now, it seemed that things were not as they seemed.
It's so simple.
"It's normal that you don't understand."
Hongluo had known that they would be called confused, so she shook her head and continued to explain.
"Our continent is divided into three parties. As you all know, there is no doubt that the strongest overlord is the group of cultivating beasts in Mao'er Mountain."
"Although the cultivating beasts only cultivate the body and not the mind, God is fair and has given them unparalleled talent and strength in physical cultivation. Their physical cultivation is also called the ultimate body."
"And we humans are basically not born with the materials to cultivate the ultimate body, so we can only take the path of balancing body and mind. This leads to the fact that humans at the same level are no match for cultivating beasts."
"Remember that bear that appeared in the back hill of the academy a few days ago? That bear had just entered the ranks of cultivating beasts, but it took someone who had been cultivating for several years to kill it. You should understand the innate differences between humans and cultivating beasts.
Is there a gap?"
"Hou Qingbai is one of the few special cases of physical cultivation among human beings. You can't regard him as a human being at all. He is just a human-shaped beast. Don't look at me beating him all night. That's just
He kept it in hand because he didn't want to completely fall out with me. If we were to fight to the death, I would most likely not be his opponent."
"You are also lucky. His nature is not bad. Everything he does is for his wife. If he is really carefree, how many people in Lingyun City can stop him?"
After listening to everything Hong Luo said, Yun Zhi frowned slightly, and then looked at Li Tian beside him.
"So that's the case, but fortunately he is not in the transcendent realm, otherwise no one would be able to contain him."
The two dogs on the side looked very proud at the moment, as if it was it that Hongluo praised just now. After all, it was also a cultivating beast.
Hongluo just shook her head.
"Twenty years ago during the Battle of the Two Cities, Hou Qingbai was already at the peak of the Mountain Moving Realm. At that time, I was still an old woman who had not broken through to the Transcendent Realm. In that war, he was shining and a hero of mankind. Twenty
Years have passed, I have reached the transcendent realm and regained my youth, but he is still stuck in the moving mountain realm. In this life, I am afraid that there is no hope of reaching the transcendent realm. After all, the ultimate body does not belong to human beings. If you want to break through, it will be more difficult than before.
It’s hard to reach the sky.”
As she spoke, Hong Luo looked at Yun Zhi who suddenly had a gentle smile on his face.
"Don't be stressed and practice hard. Your talent is unparalleled. It's only a matter of time before you surpass us. Of course, this is assuming there are no accidents. If you encounter a situation like today in the future, I hope you can think twice and don't
You made a reckless decision, I can save you this time, but next time, someone may not be able to show up in time to save you."
"The college values you very much and is even willing to make some concessions for you. I hope you won't let the college down."
Yun Zhi silently glanced at Li Tian again and nodded lightly.
"I know the principal, I will pay attention."
He also knew that because of his recklessness today, he almost killed Li Tian and Ergou. Next time, when he was not absolutely sure, he would not be as reckless as today.
Li Tian just closed his eyes silently. Too many things happened today and he was a little tired.
He had known that Hong Luo's rescue was entirely because of Yun Zhi. If Yun Zhi was not here today, she would probably watch him die.
But now he doesn't care anymore. The experience during this period has made him grow completely. Although the college sometimes does something wrong, one thing is right. When encountering danger, the only person you can rely on is yourself. If you have been
If you expect others to help you, then you deserve to die! This is the world of spiritual practice!
