It's just Yue Qiluo's immortality. Is it really immortality?
Or maybe it would be more appropriate to call her a ghost that occupies someone else's body.
Even if she is not a ghost, she will not be a human, but a kind of alien that is neither human nor ghost.
This is not the immortality pursued by Taoism, nor is it the immortality pursued by Zhang Heng. This is just a kind of lingering on.
The reason why Yue Qiluo practiced cultivation was because she was almost at the end of her life and had no choice, just like the Maoshan old man who was greedy for the world of mortals and made himself a living zombie.
As for Zhang Heng, he is a hopeful person. As long as he has a breath, he does not want to be like Yue Qiluo or the zombie elder.
"Master, if you ask me in fifty years, I will probably be willing to do anything for longevity."
"But now, I'm only in my twenties, and I haven't suffered any setbacks. Even if you give me the longevity technique, I don't think I need to practice it immediately, right?"
Zhang Heng's tone was faint.
"Yes, you are still young."
Yue Qiluo looked straight at Zhang Heng, with a smile on her lips: "It's good to be young."
Finished.
Yue Qiluo's eyes became hollow, and he said in a blank voice, as if he was talking to himself: "Apprentice, I'm hungry."
"Master, walk two streets ahead and there is a restaurant called Zhengyangchun."
"I ate it last night. Their roast duck was very good. How about we go and try it?"
Speaking of this, Zhang Heng added: "In Zhengyang Spring, we pay attention to eating two ducks. The duck meat is dipped in flour sauce and rolled into pancakes. The duck rack can also be used to make soup. The soup is lined with wolfberry and jujube, which is the most nourishing.
.”
"Disciple, you are not good."
Yue Qiluo's empty eyes suddenly regained some vitality.
"Master, where are these words?"
Zhang Heng looked doubtful.
"Ask yourself."
Yue Qiluo tilted her head and looked at him: "Are you thinking, I have been sealed for hundreds of years and I just got out of trouble recently. How much strength do I have left?"
"Disciples don't dare."
Zhang Heng immediately shook his head.
Yue Qiluo chuckled and raised her fingers to signal him to come closer.
When Zhang Heng came closer, she exhaled like a blue: "I won't save one out of ten, but killing you is enough. Do you want to try, my good disciple?"
"I hold an umbrella for Master."
Zhang Heng held up his oil umbrella and responded with action.
Yue Qiluo was very satisfied with this.
The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, revealing a proud, contemptuous, and condescending smile.
"Master, are your clothes waterproof?"
Walk out of the station and into the rain.
Zhang Heng discovered that Yue Qiluo's red cloak was made of an unknown material. The rain falling on it was like falling on a lotus leaf, and it was completely untenable.
On the contrary, he stood in the rain like a fool, and soon he was soaked in the rain.
"how?"
Yue Qiluo didn't say yes or no, but asked him pitifully: "Don't you want to hold an umbrella for me?"
Zhang Heng felt a chill.
"how come."
Zhang Heng is a good actor, and he forced a smile on his face: "It is my honor to serve Master."
Yue Qiluo looked at him quietly.
Zhang Heng held up an umbrella and laughed at himself: "You have a big head and a big head, so you don't have to worry about rain. Master has an umbrella, and I have a big head."
"hehe..."
Yue Qiluo chuckled lightly.
But soon, she straightened her face again and said calmly: "Lead the way, I'm hungry."
After a while.
Zhengyangchun Restaurant.
"Bring over whatever delicious food you have."
Zhang Heng took out a few coins and threw them on the table: "And get one of your ducks too."
"Just take a look."
The waiter swept the money into the tray and shouted to the back kitchen.
After the waiter left, Yue Qiluo looked at the empty restaurant and asked Zhang Heng casually: "You just have a few oceans, are you rich?"
Zhang Heng answered truthfully: "My disciple is the patriarch of the Zhang family in Yangjiang. He is known locally as a millionaire. He comes and goes in droves, with countless carriages and horses. More than ten thousand people rely on me for food every day. I am considered to be rich."
"Then why do you practice Taoism?"
Yue Qiluo didn't understand very much: "Based on your conditions, you should get whatever you want. Why go through that hardship?"
"It's a choice."
Zhang Heng became rarely serious: "I found that money in this world is so easy to make. As long as I want, I can make money continuously, one million, ten million, one hundred million, it doesn't matter."
"I was very confused for a while. I thought having money would be a very happy thing, but I found that my heart was very empty. I didn't even know what I should do. What was the meaning of life? Is the meaning of my life just to make money?
Earn more money?"
Zhang Heng's tone paused slightly: "So I went to Shilipo, met my master Xu Zhenren, followed him, and worshiped in the lineage of Maoshan Jingshen."
"Maoshan's countless Taoist scriptures and vast Taoist secrets have greatly enriched me."
"I found that this is what I should pursue. I am not willing to be just a rich ordinary person. I want to see another world, a world that is difficult for ordinary people to touch."
After saying that, Zhang Heng asked Yue Qiluo curiously: "I ask for peace of mind and longevity. You are already immortal, what do you want?"
Yue Qiluo fell into memories.
After a long time, he said: "I grew up in a Taoist temple. In my first life, I was confused and wanted to be the best in the world."
"But I discovered that a real dragon cannot be raised in shallow water, and Qingyun Temple cannot compare with the famous sects. As a person from Qingyun Temple, I cannot be number one no matter what. I have accomplished nothing in the first fifty years."
"In the next thirty years, I will no longer pursue fame, but only want to live forever."
"In order to live forever, I will not hesitate to violate the sect's rules and become friends with those in the evil way."
"When I was eighty years old, I became successful in my practice and created my own ghost immortality technique. I realized that even though the world is big, everyone can have it."
"Unexpectedly, my practice of absorbing people's souls was exposed, and the Qingyun Guanju sect came out, vowing to suppress me."
"But I don't hate them, not at all."
"Like you said, it's a choice."
"I chose an evil path. Unlike many complacent devils, I knew from the beginning that it was wrong to absorb people's souls and practice martial arts. I also knew what I was doing. But I didn't want to die. I was afraid of death.
I’m very scared, what can I do if I make a mistake?”
"Later, as I expected, I failed and was sealed for a hundred years."
Yue Qiluo's tone was indifferent, and then she said: "As for what I want, now that I have broken through the catastrophe and turned into a butterfly, what I want most is to have a romantic relationship. I have everything, but I have never tasted the taste of love."
Saying that, Yue Qiluo's eyes became confused again: "Who do I love, who loves me, and what is love?"
Speaking of this, Yue Qiluo asked Zhang Heng: "Do you know?"
