Hou Ting settled down in Suimo City, openly showing his true colors.
In the last few years, there was no place for right and wrong in the Splendid Continent. Everyone seemed to have changed their temper overnight and became harmonious.
He began to live an ordinary life as an ordinary person, completely relaxing himself. This was also his unique way of self-adjustment during major events.
In the past few decades, starting from the jar space, there have been the Ten Thousand Monsters Conference, the Beimu Forest, and the Modao Volcano. He has been mentally tense and needs to relax. After the Splendid Heaven opens, he doesn't think he can still do it.
Have real time for yourself.
Moving forward with a Taoist tradition is still very stressful, because unlike personal practice, you don't have to participate in some things if you don't want to participate.
When they walk together on the street, their relationship is very strange in the eyes of mortals, just like elders and juniors, but the people in Suimo City are very knowledgeable. They are used to seeing all kinds of magic in the world of cultivation, and they have no idea about some very inexplicable things.
Very receptive.
The white lady doesn't matter, and the same goes for Hou Zi; in fact, any relationship that develops to the end is just an acquaintance, and just a period of companionship. Those people and things that you once couldn't let go of, time will make light of it for you.
If there are any regrets, the only regret White Snake has is that she did not give birth to a son and a half-daughter. However, this situation is too common in the world of cultivation, and the higher the level, the more so.
There is nothing sad about it. From the moment you step into spiritual practice, monks are different from ordinary people.
Sitting in her flower shop, the White Lady told him, "You have to promise me not to go to the underworld to see me, or even if you go, you won't meet me. I hope to have a new beginning, a new life... a family."
, parents and children, even if they only live a few decades."
She was really tired, having sent away so many relatives. If she could choose, she would rather others send her away than she would send others away.
Hou Ting still had nothing nice to say, "It's not certain that he will be reincarnated as an adult..."
The white lady rolled her eyes at him. After knowing each other for hundreds of years, she didn't completely see through this guy. Fortunately, she won't be worried anymore. People like him should live alone.
If this is the case, is immortality worth pursuing?
At night, the white lady fell asleep soundly, practiced and meditated for a lifetime, and finally returned to the body's instinct. This was the return of Tao and the return of human beings.
Hou Zi sat on the roof, feeling as calm as water.
Thinking back to the beginning of the two of them, he did not regard the White Snake as his life-long Taoist companion, but just an occasional romantic encounter.
There are too many reasons, including mismatch in cultivation potential, mismatch in status and status, and most importantly, lack of that feeling of falling in love at first sight and never being able to let go again.
Although he is an out-and-out spiritual practitioner, he still has longing for his other half, a very old-fashioned and simple kind.
Moreover, he also has the object of his longing, which is the Taoist Taoist from the Anhe Tao Kingdom; privately, he feels that he and the Taoist Taoist are a match made in heaven, and has made a lot of efforts for this.
However, Prince Xiang was interested and the goddess was ruthless. Taoist Yi was only focused on cultivation and was indifferent to matters between men and women. No matter how hard he tried... Of course, he actually didn't try hard. When he was sure that Taoist Yi had no intention of choosing
When a Taoist would rather live his whole life alone, he will naturally stop forcing himself.
This is his pride. Pride does not allow him to impose things on others, and it is also a sign of respect for others.
Then, he slowly accepted the reality that the White Snake was by his side, and acquiesced to be his Taoist companion. By this time, he had become indifferent to the love at first sight and longing for death in his youth. He finally understood that in this world,
If there is anything more difficult than spiritual practice, it must be the love between humans.
After he accepted it, he gradually got used to it, and then he gradually discovered that Taoist couples also need contact, and relationships can also be cultivated. For him, a dull partner may not be a good choice, at least when he doesn't know it.
Unconsciously, he slowly accepted this woman and no longer regarded her as just a dispensable companion for dual cultivation.
It was only now, when they were truly separated, that he realized that he would also feel distressed, even if he never showed it.
Time can change everything. It doesn't matter what your original intention is. What matters is your original intention after staying together for a long time.
He knew that Bai Niangzi was probably his only Taoist companion in this life, and there would never be another one. Without experience, he would never understand this.
He is not too sentimental. It is only a matter of time. Sooner or later, this day will fall on him. Those who leave only start a new life, and those who stay will suffer even more. If from this sense, death is not
Not an unacceptable thing.
When he understood this, the temptation of immortality was not so strong. If someone really became an immortal, he didn't know how they survived the long suffering of hundreds of thousands and millions of years.
A figure appeared next to him, and he didn't look back. No one else would come to this place at this time.
"Senior, I suddenly felt that practice is actually very boring. One of the most fundamental laws of this universe is cycles, all kinds of cycles; various living beings constantly change roles between life and death, starting new lives one after another, which is always an unknown one.
The journey is waiting for us. If you put it this way, in fact, the thing that goes against the laws of nature the most in the world of cultivation is the upper life, right?"
Gusou was silent for a long time, and then sighed quietly, "Tens of thousands of years ago, there was a Taoist who achieved the immortal fruit. The immortal quality he achieved was very high, so high that he was almost the top existence, but after he achieved the immortal fruit, he
In a word: this kind of immortality is very boring, it is better to have nothing."
"Then what?" Hou Ting asked curiously.
Gusou's yellow eyes seemed to be shining with light, "Then he gave up. Since the emergence of cultivation in the universe, he is the only person who has had immortality, but abandoned it. As you said, he
He believes that immortality deprives him of his natural right as a living being to choose life and death."
Hou Ting looked forward leisurely, "You can take it up and let it go. This senior is really unprecedented and unprecedented. I admire you. If it were me, I might not be able to make such a decisive choice."
Gusou leisurely said, "You don't need to belittle yourself. That senior may not be able to understand this truth at your current level; the world of cultivation is really getting more and more advanced, and even young cultivators can understand many profound principles.
, this was unimaginable before.”
Hou Ting smiled bitterly, "This may not be a good thing. No matter what realm you are in, you should think about the pros and cons of immortality even though you are at the golden elixir level. This is in itself a transgression."
Gu said meaningfully, "You are only partly right. The Splendid Continent is a magical place. Although the history of cultivation here is not long, because of this, the people here are more willing to accept novel ideas, just like you..."
