Ten years of being young, ten years of being old and weak.
The good times only last for fifty or sixty years.
But when you reach the realm of true immortals, you have a life span of ten thousand.
Although it is small compared to heaven and earth, for ordinary people, this is an unimaginable long time.
Just saying that.
After entering the True Immortal Realm, the difficulty of the immortal techniques that need to be learned is also rising sharply.
A retreat.
Three to five years is easy.
It would take even longer to cultivate a great magical power. Even if it lasts for hundreds of years, you may still achieve nothing.
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, eighty years passed by like the wind.
"No way?"
Since eighty years ago.
After the eldest lady entered the secret room with his painting, she never came out again.
Of course, this is not death inside.
One who eats water swims, one who eats grain becomes wise.
Those who eat wood are strong, those who eat grass are agile, and those who eat air are spiritual and live long.
As a monk in the true fairyland, he absorbs spiritual energy to replenish himself, and he will not die even if he doesn't eat.
Zhang Heng said no.
It means that the eldest lady should have no talent in the way of time.
Progress is very slow and I haven’t started yet.
It has been like this for eighty years, and if nothing else happens, it will probably be like this for another eighty or eight hundred years.
The way of time is obviously not suitable for the eldest lady. She does not have the talent and understanding in this area.
"The master leads you in, and the practice is up to each of you."
"The way of time is my way, but it is not yours after all."
Zhang Heng had nothing to do.
The understanding of Tao does not mean that you will be able to understand something if someone teaches you.
This is not a world where you get what you pay for.
What's more, when you reach the level of immortals and gods, time will gradually lose its meaning.
Low-level immortals are fine.
When you reach the Golden Immortal Realm, you will have eternal life.
If you spend time, you will definitely be able to understand a great way, and then there will be saints all over the world.
But in reality.
If you can reach the end of a road, you will be qualified to hit the holy throne.
From the beginning of heaven and earth to now.
Infinite time has passed, and only nine saints have emerged.
Among the three emperors of the human race, the three of them together hold the same holy throne.
It can be seen from this.
The understanding of Tao is really enlightenment.
If you are enlightened, you are enlightened; if you are not enlightened, you are not enlightened.
It makes no sense to give you ten thousand years, one hundred million years, or even one trillion years.
Not necessarily.
It may be that the Taoist heart is not strong, and the Taoist heart collapsed during the long search, and then you went crazy.
or.
It feels like the road ahead has been exhausted and I have lost my will to make progress.
Lie down completely and be a reclusive salted fish.
Don’t practice, don’t ask questions.
I feel hazy all day long, and I don't have much time to wake up.
Often an epoch begins once one sleeps.
Wait until countless kalpas.
As an old antique forgotten by history, he jumped out and said: "I am only eighteen years old, and one chaos is one year!"
Actually.
He is just a miserable man in self-exile, half dead and half alive.
Dong dong dong...
Just thinking about it.
There was a knock on the door outside.
Zhang Heng sensed the situation outside, and it was Liu Wu who came.
"What are you doing?"
Zhang Heng walked out of the door.
I saw Liu Wu wearing armor and carrying a silver gun, and he seemed to be going out.
"Zhang Heng, is your sister still in retreat?"
Liu Wu looked proud: "My brother-in-law went out to travel and discovered a new secret realm. There are many strange beasts in it. I am going to catch a few and bring them back to use as mounts. If your sister is here, she can go with me."
"My sister?"
Zhang Heng frowned slightly.
Liu Wu was so distracted. Looking at his eyes full of peach blossoms, no one could have guessed what he had in mind.
Sure enough, people change.
Once upon a time, Liu Wu always spoke in a flattering manner in front of him.
nowadays.
After becoming a true immortal monk, he became very proud and his words became tougher.
In the past few decades, Liu Wu has been very proud of his horse hoof disease, and the number of confidante around him is almost four figures.
There are even more brothers-in-law, so many that he can’t even recognize them all.
With regard to his urinary properties, he is not as good as Yun Lingzhi.
Yun Lingzhi dares to love, hate, think and do.
Even though there are all kinds of bad things, people don't bother and treat love as if they are.
to be honest.
If Yun Lingzhi pursued Zhang Yitong back then, Zhang Heng, his younger brother, might not have stopped him.
But Liu Wu.
He is a bit disgusting now.
"My sister is still in retreat."
Zhang Heng glanced at Liu Wu: "You have great ideas, but they are of no use."
"Well..."
Liu Wu's smile froze on his face.
Seeing his expression, and thinking of the good relationship in the past, Zhang Heng said again: "You don't look good, and you should be in bad luck recently. Young man, be careful."
Gu Hu
"doom?"
Liu Wu instantly thought of Hong Zu.
But the person he is now is no longer the person he was a few decades ago when he first entered the true fairyland.
He has made further progress in his practice over the years, and has had many wonderful encounters. He now has a flying fairy treasure in his hand.
That fairy treasure is useless in fighting for strength, but it is fast.
With all his strength, even the monks from the Earthly Immortal Realm could not catch up with him. In his heart, he did not think that he would be like Yun Lingzhi, who lost his life at the hands of Hong Zu in a daze.
"You can only be a thief for a thousand days, but you can't guard against a thief for a thousand days."
"Whether Hong Zu appears or doesn't appear, life will still be the same. I can't stay in the Immortal Sect and never go out for the rest of my life, right?"
Liu Wu was full of confidence: "I am no longer who I was before. Even if Yun Lingzhi comes back to life, he will never be my opponent. Hong Zu will die in my hands sooner or later."
Zhang Heng smiled.
Nothing more was said.
Liu Wu also noticed his coldness.
I had no choice but to leave with a few vague words.
Zhang Heng looked at his back, his heart full of disappointment: "The Duke of Zhou is afraid of the day of rumors, but Wang Mang is humble... and has not usurped the time."
January, February, March.
Another half year passed in a flash.
Zhang Heng was refining elixirs on this day.
An elder from the True Immortal Realm came outside the door and asked: "Zhang Heng, did Liu Wu come to you half a year ago and invite you to explore the secret realm?"
Zhang Heng welcomed the elder in: "I've been here, but you're not looking for me, you're looking for my sister. What's wrong?"
The elder sighed: "Liu Wu disappeared. He has not come back since he left the sect half a year ago. However, Liu Wu's soul lamp was on, so we didn't think much about it. We just assumed that he had gained something outside and it was not convenient to contact people.
, and as a result, today, his soul lamp suddenly went out, and he may have encountered an accident."
Zhang Heng was silent for a while: "Have you ever looked for that secret place?"
"I've looked for it. There are no powerful beasts at the level of true immortals among the strange beasts in that secret area. Liu Wu's disappearance should have nothing to do with them."
The elder added: "There is also a confidante of Liu Wu who disappeared along with her younger brother. Our investigation found that the origins of these two people are a mystery. They may not even be biological siblings. They are spies of others."
Zhang Heng said nothing.
He had actually expected all of this.
"A troubled time."
"The Immortal Sect is currently discussing to promote the three of you as Taoist disciples, with the rank of elders."
"Liu Wu's disappearance at this time is not a good sign."
Elder Wang sighed and left: "Just keep busy, I won't disturb you anymore."
the next day.
The Immortal Sect used the method of finding relatives through blood and began to search for Liu Wu all over the world.
I searched like this for three months.
Finally, a black coffin was salvaged from a swamp.
Open the coffin and take a look.
Liu Wu's whole body was petrified, and there was a hole between his eyebrows. He had been dead for a long time.
Blow and blow.
After bringing the coffin back, the entire fairy gate was hung in white, and even a white ribbon was tied in front of the mountain gate stone tablet with the word "Yaochi" written on it.
To commemorate the passing of this destined son.
"Liu Wu."
"Is everything okay for you?"
In a side hall of Xianmen.
It is decorated with plain clothes and there is a large black wooden coffin placed in the hall.
It's quiet at night.
The lights flickered.
Accompanied by a gust of breeze, several of the disciples guarding the spirit fell into a drowsy sleep.
Zhang Heng slowly entered the main hall, filled the lamp with lamp oil, and walked step by step to the coffin with the lid open.
"Before I left that day, I saw that your departure was unknown."
"Sure enough, when the weather is crazy, it will rain, and when people are crazy, there will be disaster. You are just as I thought."
Looking into the coffin.
Liu Wu's whole body was petrified, and his face still had a look of unwillingness and ferociousness.
Zhang Heng sighed and said: "But once you die, it will take away a piece of my heartache. You may not know that not only Hong Zu knows the method of transshipment, I also know it, and I am even more proficient than him."
"But because you and I got along well back then, I never had the heart to take action against you."
"Now that you are dead and your luck has been sucked away by Hong Zu, you have done me a big favor."
"You must know that you, Hong Zu, and Zhang Yitong, the three of you are connected in Qi and complement each other. The combination of Qi and luck is enough for one of you to advance to the realm of immortals. In the future, only one of you three is destined to survive."
"If you don't die, if Hong Zu dies and I have to choose, I will be in a difficult position."
Zhang Heng does not need luck.
That thing is of no use to him.
But the eldest lady is different.
Her own talent, understanding, and talent are not enough for her to achieve the status of an immortal through her own efforts.
Even if she simply relies on herself, she will be able to reach her limit as a true immortal, and it will be difficult for her to become an earthly immortal.
Follow the path of luck.
As a child of destiny, receiving the blessing of the fate of heaven and earth is the only way for her to be promoted to immortality.
He was still thinking about it before.
After Hongzu is defeated, what should be the next step?
Zhang Heng is not from this world and will leave sooner or later.
After he leaves, where will the two go? Will the two days fly into the sky?
This is obviously impossible.
Not long ago, Hong Zu also shed his blood for the Immortal Sect.
In the end, not for the sake of immortality, he even gave up the sect he cared about most.
One day, the two of them achieve the status of earthly immortals and are in a dilemma.
I will definitely think of the other party, and think of Hong Zu and the theory of luck in the past.
It is obvious what choice the two will make at that time.
At least in Zhang Heng's opinion, if a person is trapped in a realm for thousands of years, he will not be able to survive or progress.
Or give up.
Or crazy.
In Zhang Heng's view.
In terms of skill and talent, the eldest lady cannot beat Liu Wu.
One day, there is a high probability that the eldest lady will be defeated and become Liu Wu's nourishment.
So Liu Wu is destined to die.
The only difference is whose hand they die by.
It's him, Hong Zu, or the eldest lady.
"You may not know."
"Actually, I could have killed Hong Zu a long time ago."
"In the past few decades, Hong Zu has not appeared because I injured him."
"I won't kill him, firstly because I can't bear to part with him as a whetstone, and secondly because I haven't decided how to deal with you."
"You and I have known each other for many years. I have to make up my mind to kill you."
Speaking of which.
Zhang Heng patted Liu Wu's coffin and said earnestly: "Fortunately, you didn't make things difficult for me. You are indeed my good friend and can really share my burden. I forgive your disrespect."
