Beyond the sky, the city of two realms.

The fairy sword came from the sky, and all those practicing swords in the city fell down, and all those holding weapons trembled.

The sword intent was permeated, and it locked onto a certain attic in the city with just one breath. Yu Hua lay on a huge piece of black ice among them, and Qing Cang sat cross-legged three steps away, with wisps of immortal Tao charm nourishing her.

The Fox Fairy was sitting on a chair drinking tea and casting his gaze at him.

The fairy sword turned into a stream of light and flew into the room, hanging quietly in mid-air.

Qingcang slowly opened his eyes and said leisurely: "It's been a scar for five years. If it's more than one, it's a broken bone. She's going to die."

Xianjian asked: "Why didn't you stop her?"

"Life is not about length, Pindao respects her wishes."

Qingcang's answer was cold, but it was in line with her style of conduct.

If she cared about length, she would not need to live a second life. Since this is true for herself, she should also be true to outsiders.

"I will convey it to Gu Wen."

The immortal sword did not continue to ask any more questions, and turned into a sword light again, breaking through the boundary and flying into the immortal land.

Whether Yu Hua is alive or dead, the sword doesn't matter. He is just confirming something for Gu Wen.

The room returned to calm.

The Fox Fairy, who was sitting on a chair in the corner, took a few sips of tea slowly, moistened his throat, and said, "You are really cruel, aren't you afraid of overstimulating yourself at once?"

"With my disciple's determination, he will not be defeated by this, and he may not be able to fool him."

There was a pride in Qingcang's words that was hard to understand for Fox Fairy. Perhaps she had never had any expectations for her descendants.

As an immortal, she has transcended the world and naturally has no expectations of the world.

"Besides, I originally planned to seal Yu Hua away for five hundred years, but now it's just a little longer. I can prevent her death at any time, but I can only stand by and watch my disciple's death."

Qing Cang stood up and came to Xuan Bing's bed. He stretched out his hand and tapped the center of his eyebrows. Yu Hua's eyelids trembled slightly and he slowly opened his eyes.

She looked a little weak and said: "Master, I don't want to go to the Netherworld."

"Be obedient." Qingcang stroked her forehead and said softly: "It only takes a thousand years, and this thousand years is just a night's sleep for you."

"A thousand years later, will he still be there?"

Yu Hua was weak with a few trembling sounds, as if she was showing some kind of huge fear. She grabbed Qing Cang's sleeve and held it tightly. The veins on her pale skin were visible.

"I was the one who led him on this path. With his talent, he can resound throughout the world without my help. I should repay the cause and effect. Master, please let me go back. I can kill all my cultivation and become a mortal."

, this way I can at least die with him."

"He wouldn't want you to do that."

Qingcang shook his head and said calmly and firmly: "If Gu Wen dies in the end, you should live even more."

"no the same."

"What's the difference?"

"."

Yu Hua slowly let go of his hand. A certain emotion that he had buried for some time had already taken root in his heart, but now it was stuck in his mouth and it was difficult to express even half of it.

She raised her head slightly and said with a pale smile: "It would be too cruel to let a peerless genius be a frog in the well for the rest of his life, but if a goddess like me is buried with him, at least it won't be so miserable."

"Perhaps I am a strong-willed person, and I cannot accept an era when a peerless genius like him does not exist."

Qingcang looked into her dark eyes and saw a hint of emotion deep in her eyes, but she still shook her head firmly and said: "My child, you can hate me."

The palm of her hand gently touched Yu Hua's Tianling Cap, and a wisp of power lowered her eyelids. Knowing that she was unable to resist, she said word by word: "If I wake up after a thousand years, I will still be buried."

"But Yu Hua doesn't hate the master. He can't share your worries and causes trouble for you. I'm sorry."

Yu Hua closed her eyes completely, and the surface of the black ice bed melted and swallowed her up, turning into an ice coffin.

The fairy sword looked on, turned into a stream of light and flew away without saying a word.

The Fox Fairy put down the tea cup and said: "A wise person in this world cannot escape the seven emotions and six desires. You just delayed her death. Even if your heart is dead, even if you are a saint, you can't save her."

Qing Cang asked back: "If I let her die, wouldn't it be another tragedy if my disciple comes out in the future?"

She won't be able to become a saint in a hundred years, and she won't be able to become a saint in a thousand years, but her disciples will definitely be able to become a saint.

Heaven is about to entrust this person with a great responsibility, but his determination must be hardened first.

——

The land of immortality.

The fairy sword cut through the sky like a meteor and fell into the bamboo forest courtyard.

Gu Wen was already waiting outside. He looked at the fairy sword hanging in the air and asked, "Senior Fairy Sword, is she okay?"

"She was dying. When I saw her, she only had one breath left."

Immortal Sword is as upright as ever, as if sword practitioners all have similar problems.

Such a calm announcement of death.

Suddenly there was a roar, and the sky and the earth suddenly became gloomy.

Gu Wen stood there with a stunned look on his face, opening and closing his mouth. He remained silent for a while, and the aura emanating from his body slowly converged.

He asked: "If you are still alive, you are not dead. Please explain to me the cause and effect one by one."

"No need to say."

The fairy sword shook slightly, and a sword light flew into Gu Wen's eyebrows, and everything he saw and heard reached his ears and eyes.

Not dead, not yet dying. The so-called "only one breath left" is just based on the length of life.

But to a certain extent, it has never changed, because after Yu Hua was completely resurrected from his master, he was like a candle in the wind without the power of the longevity pill and Qingcang.

It's just that the master used some method to cover the candle with a layer of gauze. Frequent visits to the Immortal Land caused the gauze to break and the candle to waver.

Gu Wen's thoughts quickly flashed through his mind and he stabilized his mind.

"That piece of black ice can seal life, but the Shouyuan disaster only caused slow death. Master must have other methods, otherwise Yu Hua's life would not have been sealed."

Seeing this, Xianjian praised: "Your character never needs any training or teaching."

There is great terror between life and death, not only for oneself, but also for relatives and friends. Being able to accept the death of those around you has solved half of the problem of life and death.

He once thought about taking Gu Wen as his disciple, but he had to give it up because of Qing Cang. However, as time went by, Xianjian found that he had no room to teach Gu Wen, but sometimes Gu Wen could inspire him.

It's a pity that even a real dragon is just a frog in the well without leaving the land of immortality.

"It's just that she may never be able to enter the Immortal Land again, and you may never see her again. If I'm not mistaken, that piece of black ice can seal one's life for thousands of years."

Xianjian's words were as sharp as he himself, he cut off all the modifying words straightforwardly and put the facts in front of Gu Wen.

"What will it have to do with you after a thousand years?"

"It's good that I'm not dead."

Gu Wen answered without hesitation, without a single ripple in his eyes.

Immortal Sword was silent and said: "Do your best and obey fate. If this is your fate, I will cut off Jianmu for you. After a while, I need to return to Zhejian Mountain to prepare for the fight with Jianmu."

"When the time comes, please cut off a section of the wood and burn it for me. I hope I still have a tomb by then."

Gu Wen made a joke, turned around and pushed open the courtyard door. Then he found that the wooden door was rotten and the right side was missing.

"It's time to fix it."

Gu Wen turned around and fled away. He had not stepped out of the small courtyard for decades, but today he casually walked out and went to a nearby town to buy a set of carpentry tools and a door.

He repaired the courtyard gate, then discovered that there were many weeds growing in the yard, and spent half a day weeding. Heirloom followed the same example, biting a grass with his teeth, and shaking his head crazily.

After the weeds in the courtyard disappeared, the ground was still full of mud, and the original bluestone slabs were lifted up by plant roots, making them look very messy.

Gu Wen arranged the stone slabs one by one and brought in well water to wash away the soil.

The yard had a brand new look, and such a dilapidated house looked particularly eye-catching.

Gu Wen had no choice but to go out again and go to a town a hundred miles away to buy materials. He was walking along the road carrying the wood, when a eunuch appeared out of nowhere, approached cautiously and asked:

"If you need anything, just tell me."

Gu Wen stopped and replied: "The roads in the town should be repaired."

Such a nonsensical reply stunned the eunuch, but Gu Wen ignored him and continued walking home.

Gu Wen repaired the house so that sunlight and rain could no longer enter. He sat on the chair and everything became quiet.

Then he saw the chair with one leg missing, the tea set broken by the cat, and the peeling wall covering.

Trivial matters from the past came flooding back, as if asking him to make up for things he should have done but failed to do over the years.

The fairy sword was unsheathed, and he sent a message to ask: "Maybe I should withdraw my previous praise. Are you okay?"

"Me? I'm fine."

Gu Wen picked up the dusty teacup and looked at the gap.
