Sinking into a state of enlightenment, forgetting oneself, forgetting time, everything around is unnoticeable, and it seems that there is only nothingness between heaven and earth.

Time seems stretched, yet it also seems like just a short moment.

Ji Qingzhou suddenly came back to his senses from his trance and immediately came out of that mysterious state.

She felt the surge of her own spiritual power, but she did not rush to open her eyes, but slowly calmed down.

Whether it is breaking through the bottleneck and naturally reaching the spiritual power of the Golden Elixir Great Perfection, or the trance-like mood that has not yet recovered from the enlightenment.

After just a moment, Ji Qingzhou returned to her normal state and opened her eyes.

The moment she opened her eyes, she saw a flash.

Ji Qingzhou looked carefully and saw four people and five spiritual beasts around her.

Strangely, when she first opened her eyes, she inexplicably felt that there were many people standing around her.

Is it an illusion?

While Ji Qingzhou was thinking, several monks who were sitting cross-legged around her, as well as the spirit beasts who were practicing in various postures, also came back to their senses from enlightenment.

After they recovered, they all thanked her.

If it weren't for Ji Qingzhou, they wouldn't have been able to benefit from this and attain enlightenment.

In such a short period of time, what they learned is equivalent to at least ten years of research.

No matter whether they were humans or spiritual beasts, they all looked at Ji Qingzhou as if he were a rare treasure, wishing they could take him home and worship him.

"The blessing is over."

At this time, Taoist Maorong coughed lightly, and calmly lifted his messy hair that had just been messed up when he hurriedly ran back to his original position from Ji Qingzhou's side. He said, "In the remaining time, you can go to the celebration freely to celebrate the birthday and bless Xuanwu God."

The birthday celebration ceremony at Tianshang Peak is relatively old and solemn, but over at the big square, there are many more activities, such as lighting lanterns, burning incense, and making offerings...

The young disciples are all expressing their love and respect for Xuanwu in their own ways.

Ji Qingzhou said some words of thanks and blessings to the statue of Xuanwu through the group video. He listened to the laughter of the monsters and the awkward but happy voices of the Xuanwu sisters. He said goodbye to Maorong Taoist and the others and left the temple.

In the square outside the temple, many people who came to celebrate the birthday either dispersed after the ceremony or stayed on the top of the mountain to enjoy the scenery.

Ji Qingzhou saw Ji Qiuyu standing on the edge of the cliff with her long black hair fluttering in the wind.

A long colorful snake was wrapped around his arm, with the snake's head resting on his shoulder. Although it was silent, Ji Qingzhou could feel the snake's silent companionship and comfort.

Ji Qiuyu suddenly turned around, noticed Ji Qingzhou's gaze, and looked into her eyes.

Ji Qingzhou did not dodge, she stepped forward and said, "The blessing is over, thank you."

If Ji Qiuyu had not given up this spot, she would not have been able to receive the blessing and easily overcome the bottleneck.

Ji Qiuyu nodded and looked into the distance again.

He was much quieter than usual.

Rather, he is very quiet unless he interacts with others.

Ji Qingzhou followed his gaze and heard the voice of the Teng Snake beside his ear: "Ah Xuan and I came from there."

Hearing this, Ji Qingzhou immediately understood that that was the direction leading to the demon world.

“I dream a lot.”

Ji Qiuyu's voice sounded from beside Ji Qingzhou, as if he was talking to her, or as if he was talking to himself, "I always dream of an endless sea, standing on the beach with someone, I can see the monsters circling in the sky, and I can also feel the unpredictable existence in the deep sea."

Ji Qingzhou listened to him silently without interrupting.

"I'm curious about who that person is."

Ji Qiuyu's voice became softer. "So I spent many years trying to see the other person's appearance clearly in my dreams."

"Then, my vision turned blood red."

"That man is dead."

Ji Qiuyu looked confused: "I used my tail to roll up the pool of blood that person left and moved away from the beach."

Ji Qingzhou was startled: "Tail?"

The long snake on Ji Qiuyu's arm moved slightly, making a hissing sound.

He said, "In my dream, I was a snake."

“Perhaps, that was my past life.”

Ji Qiuyu thought for a moment and then said, "In my previous life, I was a snake, so in this life, I was born to understand snake language and was recognized by snakes as their king. I like snakes more than humans."

Ji Qingzhou raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this: "So, your opinion of me has not changed until now."

Ji Qiuyu paused, he looked at Ji Qingzhou with deep eyes.

"Yes."

He admitted it straightforwardly.

"I cannot agree with your point of view."

Just as Ji Qingzhou was about to say something, the voice of the Teng Snake sounded in his ears.

"Snake."

Tengshe's tone was filled with nostalgia, "That little snake collected the body of its master in the same way back then."

"Collect the corpse?"

Ji Qingzhou was stunned.

She suddenly thought of a legend she had heard not long ago.

Could it be...

"Yes."

The snake replied: "The monk who came to Canghai to find me sacrificed himself with blood and spread her voice throughout the Canghai. That's why I woke up from the Canghai, came ashore to meet her, and heard her request."

"After she died, her body melted on the beach due to the blood sacrifice. She had a little snake, which was her spiritual pet. After she died, the little snake used its tail to circle the blood-stained sand and put it into the urn. It carried the blood-stained sand all the way and took me from the demon world to the Million Deep Mountains."

As the snake was talking, it suddenly felt something was wrong. "Oh, so the dream of the human next to you is really similar to that of the little snake back then."

Ji Qingzhou was stunned, she looked at Ji Qiuyu.

Ji Qiuyu was puzzled: "What's wrong with you?" His eyes were so strange.

"If people have a past life..."

Ji Qingzhou murmured: "Maybe you really are a snake?"

Ji Qiuyu heard the hidden meaning in her words and immediately asked, "What did you say?"

Ji Qingzhou said: "The spiritual pet brought by the cultivator who invited Xuanwu out of the sea was a snake."

Ji Qiuyu was stunned.

"What are you talking about?"

Suddenly, the voice of Maorong Taoist sounded.

As soon as he and a group of elders walked out of the Xuanwu Temple, they saw his disciple and Ji Qingzhou standing on the edge of the cliff and talking.

Ji Qiuyu's expression was unusual.

Taoist Maorong felt a little uneasy.

Ji Qiuyu came back to his senses and said casually, "Nothing."

Just as Maorong Taoist was about to ask again, the elder beside him stopped him and glared at him: "Why are you, an old man, asking about something between young people?"

No eyesight at all!

Then, Taoist Maorong was pulled away by a group of elders who had good insight.

Ji Qiuyu stared at Ji Qingzhou and suddenly asked, "What you just said... is it true?"

"Ah."

Ji Qingzhou said this because he could see that Ji Qiuyu had been troubled by dreams in recent years.

If you are trapped in it for a long time, you will probably develop mental demons.

It’s better to give him an answer and let him find what he wants on his own.

"It's true."

Ji Qingzhou said: "But this doesn't mean that you were really that snake in your previous life."

After all, there is nothing new under the sun, and the scene in Ji Qiuyu's dream might have happened in other places.

Ji Qingzhou just provided an idea.

Ji Qiuyu understood, he said "hmm" and stopped talking.

Seeing that he was lost in thought, Ji Qingzhou did not disturb him and turned to go down the mountain.

When he returned to his residence, Ji Qingzhou saw a gorgeously dressed and graceful woman sitting side by side with Liu Furuo, chatting animatedly.

——It was the woman who was talking unilaterally.

Liu Furuo, who is usually talkative, now looks depressed and keeps silent.

Even like wanting to escape.
