Chapter 674: The winner will be decided
In the past, Zhao Qing invited Li Changxiao to go to the Great Heaven Realm with her to help her find the Dao Fruit.
Now, after many twists and turns, the two returned to the Lingtian Dynasty. It was a trick of life. They went out to sea with untold hardships to search, but in the end, the Dao Fruit was right beside them, right in front of them.
Zhao Qing regained his Dao fruit and returned to his body. Everything was over, and it was time to say goodbye.
The two walked side by side at a very slow pace. Unfortunately, due to the frequent wars, not only were there few pedestrians in the wilderness, but even the roadside scenery was always devastated and lifeless.
Sometimes the road is interdependent, just walking side by side, even if you don't talk, you will be satisfied. After Zhao Qing returned the Qingping Sword to Li Changxiao, she suddenly stopped, but Li Changxiao was still moving forward slowly.
The two of them walked further and further away. Li Changxiao didn't even turn his head and waved goodbye, until he completely disappeared.
Zhao Qing watched quietly, watching him go away.
……
As usual, Si Nian planned to look for Li Changxiao after waking up in the morning. Just like the previous days, they talked about some trivial old things. Although it was plain, he felt very peaceful.
But it was raining heavily today. She stood at the window and sighed softly, thinking that if she went to look for him in the rain, it would inevitably burden him.
Si Nian was afraid of disrupting this balance, so she waited until the dark clouds in the sky had dispersed and there would be no more storms before she ran out of the city. The smell of rain could cover up the stench of blood, and after she left the city, she soon arrived at the bank of the Java River.
But she didn't see the boat anymore, and her heart was suddenly empty. Even though she knew that the other party would leave, she felt very uncomfortable because he didn't even say hello. She walked along the bank of the Java River in a daze.
After walking for several miles, there was still no sign of him. Si Nian thought to himself, "He said he didn't blame me, but he must still be blaming me, otherwise why would he leave without even saying hello? It's all my own fault, but I'm so sad."
After walking for an unknown amount of time, a voice came from behind: "Disciple, stop chasing, don't get caught up in your mind." Si Nian turned around and saw her master standing quietly behind her, looking at her. Si Nian vaguely felt that her master seemed different, but she couldn't tell why. When she saw her master, she immediately wanted to cry, tears rolling down her cheeks, and she said, "But if I don't chase, I'll be so sad."
Zhao Qing walked over and held her in his arms. Si Nian was stunned. The master had never made such an intimate move with her. Zhao Qing said softly: "Some people can't be caught up. Don't think too much, don't ask too much, don't think too much, he will come back to see you."
Si Nian pondered the meaning of the words. Zhao Qing looked into the distance and sighed, wondering what he was thinking.
……
The era of seeking change has come to an end, but Li Changxiao still uses "Seeking Change" as the title of his reign.
In the 543rd year of Seeking Change, Li Changxiao traveled northward and came to the border of Lingtian Dynasty, commonly known as the Northern Desert, where the Divine Calculator had killed Zhao Qing.
In the North Desert, there was a small wine shop where three or five people were chatting about Ling Tian's current situation. Scarred Eyes drank three or two glasses of wine and got drunk. He slapped his hand on the table and said, "I finally understand everything. That damn incense god is a liar, a fraud!"
As soon as the voice fell, a strong man continued: "Indeed, the River Mother is so respected, who would have thought that she is a cold and selfish monk?"
A young man who had just started out asked, "Everyone, what does 'monk' mean? Can't people like us who practice asceticism also be considered 'monks'? How is it associated with the words cold and selfish?"
Scarface explained to everyone the great changes that had taken place in Lingtian in recent years. It turned out that after the great dispute over incense that year, the two incense gods had torn their faces apart and completely exposed each other's shortcomings.
The nature of the incense god was thus revealed. Subsequently, due to the turbulent times of the human race, the activities of the "monks" had to be frequent, and the group of "monks" gradually became known to the public.
The people's respect for the immortal god was actually decreasing, but their fear was increasing. Because people's hearts were unpredictable, and some bad things were always blamed on the "monk". Over time, the people went from respecting the "monk" as they respected the gods to fearing the "monk" as they feared the tiger.
On this basis, the extremely evil sect was reaping rewards everywhere, and this situation gradually took shape.
The Lingtian Dynasty has worshipped the River Mother for more than 500 years and has always revered her, believing her to be extremely effective. But in recent years, the rumor that the River Mother Temple "will not save a city" has gradually spread, and Longcheng is outraged. In addition, the two major dynasties of "Litian" and "Chitian" have intentionally fanned the flames behind the scenes.
As a result, the popularity of the Hemu incense dropped sharply. Countless golden statues were forcibly dismantled and replaced with broken gold for circulation. Ling Tian said: "The incense has been burning for hundreds of years, but it is not worth the gold to seduce people."
Scarface explained, and everyone said that he was knowledgeable and had seen a lot of things. Although these were all widely circulated major events, Ling Tian's information flow was very slow. If he hadn't made some name for himself in the martial arts world, he really wouldn't have known so clearly.
The young man asked, "Brother Scar, if the River Mother doesn't save one city, she will lose 80% of her temple. Isn't that too much of a price to pay?" The strong man said, "Of course it's a big price, but she is a god with boundless magical powers. She doesn't need our concern."
Inside the tavern, everyone was talking about everything from the River Mother Goddess to the current Lingtian civil strife. This civil strife had lasted for several years, and it was finally time to decide the winner.
Scar Eyes said: "Or that prince and princess are equally matched for hundreds of years, and are also immortal masters. They plan to gamble their luck and fight one last battle in the Northern Desert."
The young man asked, "Why are there so many immortals?" The strong man said, "I heard that the times have changed suddenly, causing the immortals to be unable to practice. Otherwise, you, me, him, him, and he could all become immortals."
When he mentioned the three "he", the strong man stretched out his finger and pointed at everyone in the tavern one by one. When he pointed at the last person, the strong man was obviously stunned. He had been drinking in the tavern for half an hour, but he didn't remember when a swordsman was lying on the table.
He looked carefully and saw that the swordsman was really handsome, dressed in white, and sleeping soundly. At this moment, he seemed to be awakened by the noise, slowly opened his eyes, yawned, stretched lazily, and pushed the door and left the tavern.
The waiter chased after him, asking for money for the wine, and said anxiously: "Sir, wine..." As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he looked down and saw a few copper coins already lying in his palm.
As for when he got it and when the customer gave it to him, he couldn't remember at all.
Seeing this horrifying scene, everyone in the tavern stood up, looked at each other, and broke out in cold sweat.
