I am going to live forever in the world of mortals

Chapter 19 What is Liberation?

In the prayer pool...

The little tortoise wakes up leisurely, and sees a copper coin wrapped in red dust and fireworks in the pool. Before he can be happy, he sees the Hall of Mental Cultivation billowing in smoke and burning into the sky.

It stretched its neck and stared at a pair of small mung bean eyes, and was stunned in place, as if it had vaguely guessed something...

the other side.

The white crane flutters its wings and flies high, with an elegant posture...

And Ning Zizhen sat cross-legged on the back of the crane, casting spells to protect the two nephews who were still sleeping next to him, and did not rush to wake them up.

Suddenly, Zhang Xiuyuan frowned and opened his eyes. When he saw the surrounding blue sky, which seemed to be flying in the boundless sky, he was also surprised.

"Don't worry..."

Seeing that he woke up with a dignified expression, Ning Zizhen was a little surprised, and explained with a smile: "I am your aunt, and the white crane that sits down is a spirit beast I raised in the early years."

"Meet my aunt..."

Zhang Xiuyuan didn't have any doubts about waking up beside this aunt, because when the master found him in the morning, he saw the white crane landed in Taixu Temple through the little turtle, and guessed that the aunt must have arrived.

Now his mind is full of raging flames in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and he asked, "But I don't know where Master is now?"

"no need to worry."

Ning Zi really thought that he was still worrying about his own safety, so he smiled and comforted, "I rushed over after receiving your letter, and just happened to meet your master bringing us two brothers and sisters back to watch."

Her voice paused, then she sighed and said again: "You said that your master is controlled by evil thoughts, but in fact he just has some knots in his heart, now that his knots have been solved, he entrusts you two to my care. "

"Knot?"

Zhang Xiuyuan frowned when he heard the words, he could see Master's gesture of talking to himself, it was definitely not as simple as a knot in his heart!
Few people came to the Taixu Temple, and there was an extra copper coin in the prayer pool, most of which came from the master.

I and my junior sister were rescued by my aunt, and now the Hall of Mental Cultivation is on fire again, the person who set the fire is probably also the master, so what about the master?

In the wishing pool of Taixu Temple, the little turtle stretched its neck to find the trace of Master, but found nothing.

He wanted to manipulate the little turtle to refine the red dust and fireworks on the copper coin, to see the past of his master, and also to see what happened when he fell asleep.

But considering that his aunt who is a Qi refiner is beside him, he temporarily gave up this idea.

After all, after the little tortoise refines the mortal world, the feedback given by Shanhai Escroll is too abrupt. If my aunt sees it, I can't explain the reason.

Zhang Xiuyuan asked cautiously: "Auntie, I would like to take the liberty to ask, did Master act abnormally after unraveling his knot?"

"An abnormal move?"

Ning Zizhen heard the words and said with a slight frown: "Your master knows that he has made a mistake, his mood is lacking, and he has given up his kung fu on his own. Other than that, there is nothing unusual about it."

"San Gong!?"

Zhang Xiuyuan's breath was stagnant, and he asked, "And then?"

"Then?"

Ning Zi really didn't understand what this nephew meant, so he frowned slightly and said, "Then he asked me to take care of you two brothers and sisters, and said he wanted to rest, so he drove me away."

"..."

Zhang Xiuyuan frowned when he heard the words, thinking that the aunt did not know about the fire in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, which meant that the fire started after the aunt took him and the younger sister away.

He seemed to have thought of something, his heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly said: "Master, go back to the Taixu Temple!!"

"Want to go back and say goodbye to your master?"

Ning Zizhen looked at him and said with a half-smile: "Based on your master's current state, it is estimated that he will not see you."

"I'm afraid that Master will be overwhelmed!"

Zhang Xiuyuan hastily explained: "I have spent more than ten years with Master day and night, and I know his old man's nature very well. Master has become a demon in order to seek immortality. Now that he is doing his own kung fu, he may have the will to die!"

Ning Zizhen's complexion changed slightly when he heard the words, he quickly patted the white crane under him and called out: "Gu He, go back to Taixu Guan!"

The white crane has a spirit, understands people's intentions, circled in the air, turned around, then flapped its wings and flew towards Taixuguan.

Most of the doors, walls, pillars and beams of the Hall of Mental Cultivation are made of wood, and there are many ancient books and books in the quiet room. The fire burns extremely fast and is also extremely strong...

The little tortoise looked at the charred and collapsed beams, and had no choice but to hope that he was worrying too much.

When the white crane flew back to the sky above Taixu Temple, not to mention the quiet room, the Hall of Mental Cultivation had already been burned into a pile of ruins.

But when Ning Zizhen saw the billowing black smoke, his complexion couldn't help changing a bit, and before the white crane flew down, he jumped down, and the whisk in his hand swept past the continuous fire below.

The fire in the Hall of Mental Cultivation was extinguished in an instant...

She seemed to have noticed something, and rushed into the pile of ruins with a wave of dust, and all the charred and collapsed pillars and beams were swept aside.

When she saw a scorched corpse sitting cross-legged with a sword in front of her, she froze in place...

The white crane flew down.

Zhang Xiuyuan jumped down from the back of the crane and ran to Aunt Shi, when he saw the charred corpse, his heart trembled, and he also froze in place in astonishment.

"Master..."

There seemed to be a thousand words in his heart that he wanted to say, but his lips were still murmured, but he couldn't say a word.

Ning Zizhen looked at him, and asked at a loss: "Xiu Yuan, tell me, did I harm your master by coming here?"

"no……"

Zhang Xiuyuan shook his head, and said, "Master has fallen into a demon in order to seek immortality, and he has been fighting against the demonic thoughts in his heart for more than ten years. According to my disciples, my aunt came here this time, in fact, I saved my master."

"Then why did he..."

"For Master, this may be a relief."

"relief?"

"Master doesn't know how to face you, Shigu, and doesn't know how to look directly at your own heart. Isn't this a kind of relief?"

"..."

Zhang Xiuyuan walked up to the charred corpse and said with relief: "Master, don't worry too much. From what I know about Master, the old man must have been smiling before he left, and he was very happy."

"That's fine... that's fine..."

Ning Zizhen nodded in a daze, obviously sad in his heart, but couldn't shed a single tear, and didn't even know how to face the charred corpse.

Zhang Xiuyuan looked at the aunt who was at a loss, and said with a smile on his face: "Please ask my aunt to wake up Miaoshan, just say...just say... to see master for the last time."

"it is good…"

Hearing the words, Ning Zizhen seemed to have regained his senses, glanced at the charred corpse, nodded, and walked towards Baihe with a blank expression.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiuyuan brushed off his robe, straightened his clothes, knelt down in the dusty ruins, and kowtowed to the scorched corpse sitting cross-legged.

Soon...

Zhang Miaoshan, who was awakened, also ran over with red eyes, covered her mouth and looked at the charred corpse, as if she did not want to believe that her master had become like this after waking up.

"Don't cry!"

Zhang Xiuyuan frowned and stared at her, and said, "Come here and kowtow, and see Master off for the last time."

Zhang Miaoshan was pursed fiercely by his senior brother, but he didn't dare to disobey, he just nodded and went to kneel down in front of the charred corpse, and kowtowed like his senior brother.

Ning Zizhen stood aside in a daze, watching the two senior brothers and sisters salute the charred corpse with a dazed expression.

"Master..."

Zhang Xiuyuan stood up and looked at the aunt beside him, and asked: "Master often goes to the back mountain to sit quietly, and the disciple wants to bury the master's remains in the back mountain of Taixu Temple, what do you think, auntie?"

"A teacher for a day and a father for life..."

Ning Zizhen squeezed out a warm smile on his face, and said, "I haven't seen senior brother for 60 years, and you are the direct descendant of senior brother. This matter should be based on your opinion..."

"Then it will be buried in the back mountain..."
