world.

Huajing City.

Since returning from the Great Sun Palace, Lord Linghua has been hiding the box on his body, but he always feels uneasy.

As if, he was afraid that others would notice.

Knowing that she possesses the elixir, taking it will make her young again.

She understood where her uneasiness came from. Even she, Lord Linghua, who often went to the so-called "Heavenly Palace" and could go to heaven and earth, felt that she could not suppress the desire and greed in her heart, let alone

Someone else.

Under night light.

When she was meditating alone and looking at the map of mountains and rivers, she couldn't help but take out the box.

By the candlelight, she looked repeatedly at the pills in the box.

"Elixir!"

Although this elixir is not as mysterious as the myth, after taking it, you can live forever.

Stay forever in the world.

But if you take it once, you can live one more life.

Life after life continues, as long as the elixir is always available, you will naturally live forever.

For her now, immortality may not have such a strong temptation, but the words "return to youth" are like a spell tightly wrapped around her head, echoing in her ears.

The younger and more beautiful you are, the more you fear losing your beauty.

The more people worship them as gods, the harder it is to give up these things.

gain, lose.

Pick it up and put it down.

Sometimes, the latter is more difficult and scary than the former.

Suddenly, there was a sound from behind, someone came in,

"Wizard!"

"who?"

Lord Linghua suddenly looked back and quickly put the box into his sleeve. Then he saw Wu who had been following him holding a lantern and opening the door, calling softly,

Wu didn't expect that his call would make Linghua Lord, who was always motionless in the past, make such a big movement, and he was stunned for a moment.

Until Lord Linghua asked him: "What's the matter?"

Only then did the witch come back to his senses: "Wizard, it's already dark and it's raining outside. You're still in the temple without any movement, so everyone urged me to come and ask."

Lord Linghua then stood up and said, "Let's go back!"

Walking on the stone slabs, everyone was guarding her. The witch and the witch beside her were holding umbrellas.

Lord Linghua said: "From now on, you cannot open the palace door without my permission."

Everyone bowed and said, "Yes!"

Seeing Lord Linghua be so cautious, Wu Xian on the side recalled what happened just now. Through the light, he seemed to see Lord Linghua put something into his sleeve.

Lord Linghua held the elixir in his arms, but felt that he was confused.

In the following days, Lord Linghua felt that he would always think of and care about some things that he had not paid much attention to before.

For example.

When Linghua Jun looked into the bronze mirror, she would occasionally mistake the shadows on her temples for aging wrinkles or spots.

A touch of luster on the head was mistaken for white hair.

With the medicine of immortality, I became even more afraid of immortality.

With such a celestial appearance, I am even more afraid of becoming ugly. Losing even a trace of it would be unbearable.

The more people there don't seem to make people feel at ease, but the more they feel like they are standing on a high mountain in a sea of ​​clouds, walking on thin ice, for fear of falling from the top.

Hesitant and hesitant, tossing and turning.

She hid the elixir tighter, feeling more and more that she might be able to use it soon, and the more she couldn't lose it.

As long as it is there, you can recover when you get old, and your youth can still be found again after the years have passed.

But the more this happened, the more she felt that the box of elixir was not safe no matter where it was hidden.

Carry it in your sleeve?

What should I do if it falls?

If you put it somewhere else, what should you do if someone steals it?

Everywhere Linghuajun walks through.

When I lowered my head and saw a loose stone slab, I couldn't help but think about it.

"Hiding here?"

He raised his head and saw the dark corner of the eaves, and couldn't help but think about it.

"Maybe it should be hidden here, so no one can find it, right?"

I think about it day and night, and I can't sleep peacefully.

Finally, Lord Linghua couldn't help it anymore, and suddenly and quietly walked out of the house late at night with a lamp in hand, and came to the pool behind Yunzhong Palace and the Imperial Master's Mansion.

The water in the pool leads to the Donghua River. The pool is full of lotus leaves, but they have withered at this moment, leaving only the knotted stems of the pool.

Lord Linghua held the talisman in his hand and waved the lantern, and saw something moving in the water. The light of the lantern reflected gold on the thing.

At first glance.

It's like the golden light gradually spreads along the water surface, and is carried away with the ripples.

After a while, the dragon poked its head out.

Lord Linghua stood on the shore, let the dragon open its mouth, and then placed the sealed box with the talisman in its mouth.

"Shout!"

The golden scales in the pool swallowed the box and sank into the water, never to be seen again.

Lord Linghua hid the elixir in the belly of the dragon, as if he felt that this would make him feel at ease, and he would no longer be confused and tossing about every day.

But after she returned, everything was still the same, nothing had changed.

"Will the elixir be eaten by the dragon?"

"Would the elixir go bad if it is placed in the dragon's belly?"

"Will there be ghosts, gods, or evil spirits on the ground coming to steal the elixir?"

From the moment she got the elixir, her heart was like the wrinkled pond water.

If the wind doesn't stop, she will never calm down,

Dainichi Shrine.

When the new moon was offering sacrifices to the gods of heaven and earth, Linghua Lord visited Dainichi Shrine and saw a feast being held in the shrine.

Ghosts, gods, demons, and dragons attend the banquet. From the vortex above the dome, you can also see the scenes around the gods and temples on the earth.

The Divine Lord on the bed of clouds accepted the worship of humans, gods, demons, ghosts and all living beings in the world, and then finally received her and heard Lord Linghua's worries.

"A pair of elixirs has made you confused."

"Too!"

"Who is not afraid of growing old, and who is not afraid of death?"

When Yun Zhongjun faced the immortality, his heart was also confused.

He let go of his confusion, but the confusion came to Lord Linghua, but it seemed that Lord Linghua was just like him.

Yun Zhongjun asked her: "How are you preparing?"

Lord Linghua said: "The fact that a single elixir of immortality makes me so worried shows that Lingzi still does not have the heart of immortality."

"Even if you gain immortality, I'm afraid you will inevitably become a demon in the end. Once you live forever, you will think about the second eternity."

"I think about it day by day and read about it every night. I don't know what it will be like."

Lord Linghua hesitated for a long time, and finally said,

"Since everyone will die in the end, they will still grow old!"

"It's better to live forever."

"Enter reincarnation and practice!"

"Or wait until I conquer this inner demon, and then come back and ask for the elixir of immortality."
