In the clear blue sky with no clouds, a hungry goshawk is patrolling his territory.

Soon, it has its sights on a favorite prey.

In the past, it would not easily provoke this kind of prey, because this kind of prey is too smart, but this time it is different, it seems to be easy to catch.

Because the prey was climbing up the cliff with its thin limbs, it was already thirty feet high from the ground, and it looked very difficult.

As long as it pecks the prey off the cliff, wouldn't it be possible to enjoy delicious food without going hungry for several days?

While thinking about it, it swooped down and headed straight for the prey.

"Go away!"

Shen Qin held the cliff with one hand and drew the sword from his waist with the other hand, trying to drive away the troublesome goshawk.

But he was lying on the stone wall, and his behavior was restricted. The goshawk was unwilling to give up the food it had obtained, and kept attacking him with its talons and sharp beak.

Soon, Shen Qin's foot slipped while driving, and his whole body was hanging in mid-air, with only one hand still holding on to the stone wall.

Seeing that victory was in sight, the goshawk rushed directly to Shen Qin's hand and pecked it hard.

"what!"

Shen Qin shouted, and as soon as his hand loosened, he fell from the high stone wall.

He fell freely in the air, falling faster and faster, and was about to hit the ground and be shattered to pieces. At this time, an invisible force caught him.

His body hung in the air for a moment before slowly landing on the ground.

At this time, the goshawk also swooped towards him at a very fast speed, but was pushed away by an invisible force and fell to the ground.

"Blah blah..."

Cui Xuzi knocked on the meditation bowl twice and spoke softly to the goshawk who got up in embarrassment.

"You must be hungry. There is a nest of rats in my cave. They are chattering incessantly and disturbing people's cultivation. They don't listen to my advice. You go and drive them away to get some food. As for this person, you can't eat him. "

The goshawk seemed to understand, and obediently got into the cave to catch the mouse.

Then Cui Xuzi walked up to Shen Qin and smiled.

"Sir, you are back again. Yes, you climbed higher this time than last time."

Shen Qin climbed up, covering the hand that had been pecked with blood by the goshawk, and a slight smile appeared on the corners of his lips.

"Thank you, Taoist Priest, for your encouragement."

In fact, Shen Qin was thinking angrily:

You will make sarcastic remarks next to me.

The cliff was steep and high, and he had fallen down countless times. If Cui Xuzi hadn't caught on, he would have been reduced to a pulp.

Of course he knew that since Cui Xuzi could bring him here, there must be a way to help him get out of trouble.

But Cui Xuzi didn't mention a word, so it was probably useless to plead.

Cuixuzi stroked his silver beard and said with a smile.

"It seems that the young master is quite complaining about Pindao. Pindao is giving the young master a chance and also giving himself a chance."

Give Shen Qin a chance to save his life, and also give himself a chance to achieve success.

Shen Qin smiled lightly.

"Perhaps the Taoist priest is right. Everything in the world is impermanent. It starts from nothingness and ends from nothingness. Human destiny is reincarnated by cause and effect. Life and death alternate in an endless cycle. There is nothing to cling to. But Shen is just an ordinary person. As long as he lives For one day, we cannot sit idly by and ignore the catastrophe that is about to happen!”

In fact, Shen Qin had always been hesitant before learning that this catastrophe was coming.

What he fears is not that his soul will be scattered, but that he will be trapped in the bones after death and cannot be reincarnated, slowly forgetting who he is.

Three nights ago, he used the crystals in the cave to almost repair his body, and then walked out of the cave to express his gratitude to Cui Xuzi.

At this time, Shen Qin saw Cui Xuzi looking up at the stars.

A compass made of photons was spinning in the man's palm, shining with golden light.

Shen Qin didn't mean to disturb him, but he was thinking in his heart, could the Taoist Priest be observing the sky?

Cui Xuzi said:

"Yes."

Cui Xuzi's cultivation did not allow him to lie, and he knew everything about Shen Qin.

Shen Qin saluted and said,

"Can the Taoist Master help Shen figure out whether the plague can be controlled, whether Tangzhou can be safe, and..."

He lowered his eyes slightly and said a little lonely.

"If I never show up again, what will be the fate of the people I care about?"

Cui Xuzi sighed softly and said.

"The celestial phenomena show that not only Tangzhou, but even Jiuzhou will usher in an unprecedented disaster. Civil war will break out and the plague will spread. Then the dynasty with serious internal strife will be invaded by neighboring countries. Many people will not be able to escape this disaster. The baptism of strength, including the people you care about..."

Shen Qin made a decision immediately,

"Taoist Master, I want to go back."

Cui Xuzi said.

"Even if you go back, you still can't change the way of heaven with your mortal body."

Shen Qin gritted his teeth and said unwillingly.

"Always try!"

So Shen Qin began to climb the cliff, trying to leave from here.

He had been climbing for three days. When climbing during the day and night, his fingers were worn out. He would sit and meditate to repair them until they no longer hurt. Then he continued climbing. At least this time he was better than last time. He climbed halfway up the mountain before falling off.

He tore off the cloth strips of his clothes and bandaged the wound on the back of his hand where the eagle had pecked him. Then he took off the white cloth wrapped around his fingers, revealing his worn fingertips.

At this moment, the eagle just emerged from the cave with a dead mouse in its mouth. It placed the mouse in front of Shen Qin, then flapped its wings, as if to say:

"Brother, I'm sorry, I didn't know you were a friend of the Immortal. I'll give you this to make up for it."

Shen Qin couldn't laugh or cry, "Thank you, I won't eat it."

After that, he stood up and planned to go back to the cave to continue treating his injuries. At this time, Cui Xuzi's vicissitudes of voice came from behind.

"The master follows the path of Bodhisattvas, while the poor man follows the path of heaven."

When Shen Qin turned around, he saw Cui Xuzi pointing his hand at the sky and saying.

"The way of heaven is the trajectory of all things, just like this cliff. As long as you have not escaped from reincarnation, you cannot escape his sanctions. Just like floods will come unexpectedly, earthquakes will suddenly erupt, and the fate of mortals is in front of the way of heaven. It’s like a drop in the ocean, no matter how much you fight, it won’t help.”

"so what?"

Shen Qin replied decisively.

"If cultivating immortality means cultivating indifference, then Shen would rather be a soul trapped on withered bones. Even if his soul is doomed to fly away, at least his heart has been warmed!"

Along with his words, the goshawk spread its wings and flew onto Shen Qin's shoulders, adding a majestic air to his slender body. At this time, the light in his red eyes seemed to be able to melt glaciers. Like a flame, hot and strong.

Cuixuzi was speechless, and after a moment, he sighed.

"To save others, you must first save yourself. Why do you have to be so brave, sir?"

Shen Qin raised his eyes and looked towards the sky, with a hint of tragedy and determination in his tone:

"Even if I am a moth flying into a flame, I will go against fate just to have no regrets in my heart."
