Shang Lixing said: "You continue to look down."

"Yeah." Xie Liuchen nodded, and continued to look at the memories of the past through Shang Li Xing.

Although Fu Changning was not noticed by Nan Xing, there was an unspeakable concern in his heart from then on. He buried this matter in his heart, and after a long time, it gradually became a heart disease. increasingly distorted in desire.Two years later, he went to Beijing to rush for the exam, but because of a worry in his heart, he could no longer concentrate on reading the sage books, and it was not surprising that he failed the exam.

Fu Changning also felt that there was no hope for fame and fame, and he had no face to go home. Because he couldn't afford to live in the expensive inns in the capital, he had to leave the capital and found a Taoist temple in the outskirts of the city to stay overnight.But he didn't expect that the Taoist priests who received incense and offerings in the Taoist temple were all charlatans. They not only blackmailed him for what little money he had left, but also forced him to draw a signature, detain him in the Taoist temple, and enslave him Washing his feet with water and carrying a basin of feces, Fu Changning went out early and returned late every day. From a weak and poor scholar to a handyman doing rough work, his heart was really miserable.But he has no ability to make a living at all. Apart from doing some heavy work in the Taoist temple to make a living, he can't find a better way to make a living. Therefore, although he has a lot of grievances, he dare not leave the Taoist temple without authorization.

I couldn't sleep all night, got up and came to the front yard, saw the incense and candles, and suddenly recalled the adventure two years ago in my memory. , and happened to be reduced to a Taoist temple to spend the night and dissipate all the entanglements. Isn’t this the arrangement of the heavens? Ask me, who has a bleak future, to visit the fairy trails, and then I will be on the fairy road, and I will not be angry with such mortals anymore?" So I packed my luggage and took advantage of the night At night, I slipped out of the dog hole in the backyard and left without saying goodbye.

Since he wholeheartedly wanted to pursue the art of immortality, he would not let common things get in his way, and he didn't even take any money when he left.From then on, I slept in barren mountains and old forests, and traveled all over thousands of rivers and mountains, just looking for immortals and asking questions.But the fairy trails are misty, how could he, an ordinary mortal, visit them?In the past few years, not only did they get nothing, but they also suffered from many injuries because they only ate wild vegetables and fruits and lacked meat.

Three years later, he returned to his hometown sick and learned that all the elders in his family had passed away during the few years he traveled abroad.He wept bitterly, and burned his old house in Zhoujia Village to the ground that night. Relying on the meager family property accumulated by the elders in the family, he went to the towns near Zhoujia Village to buy a family business, mainly buying and selling characters. Bury the unwilling thoughts in your heart deeply.

Because of his thoughts, he wanted to escape from the world of mortals, but because of his mediocre aptitude, he had no way to seek immortality, so he fell into the world of mortals again.

Half a year later, he couldn't support his expenses in the city with his income from buying and selling letters, so he had to move back to Zhoujia Village under the pretext of recovering from illness.

When returning home, I happened to meet a few strange-looking outsiders at the gate of the village. They were all wearing black robes and were acting furtively. They were discussing who to lure out.

Those people noticed his coming, captured him, and asked sternly: "Tell me, is the Beast King in the village?"

"Beast King? Are you referring to that ugly uncle?" At this time, Fu Changning was so depressed that he suddenly saw a few figures who looked like heavenly soldiers and generals. He was frightened at first, but soon realized that the person who came was also an extraordinary person. Xi said: "Everyone, I can help you lure him out!"

Those people were speechless for a while, not knowing what he meant, Fu Changning said again: "My request is very simple, as long as you can help me achieve my wish and help me practice the law of longevity."

Those men in black robes didn't believe him: "If you want to practice the method of longevity, why don't you go to that beast king?"

Fu Changning was embarrassed and remained silent.This was originally a heart disease of his, he knew in his heart that he was delusional, and with such a secret thought, he was inferior in mentality, and dared not show it in front of the virtuous pharmacist and beast king.But everyone in front of them has plans, and the relationship between them is equal and worthy of cooperation.

He hit the iron again while it was hot: "I know that it is easy for you to kill me, and it is not difficult even to slaughter all the villagers, but once the beast king finds out and resists, it will not be worth the loss. Besides, there is a pharmacist with a mysterious origin living in the village. Come on, you may not have a chance of winning."

He is a man of study, so he can speak eloquently, and when he stated his interests, he immediately hit the hearts of those people. After discussing for a while, the men in black robes let him go and agreed to cooperate with him.

Under the instructions of the men in black robes, Fu Changning walked into the village, came to the foot of the mountain, and led the beast king out.

The beast king lived a leisurely life in Zhoujia Village for several years, waiting for the arrival of the demon envoy all the time.He has long noticed that the village is full of murderous intent, and his mentality is naturally like a war.Seeing Fu Changning coming to him, he quickly realized that the scholar in front of him had betrayed him, and approached him step by step with his palm, wanting to eliminate future troubles.

Fu Changning saw that he had a fierce look on his face, pressed him step by step, and said: "The group of people cast a spell on me, if you kill me, the group of people will rush in quickly and kill the pharmacist and the man he brought. Children, and the whole village!"

The Beast King paused for a moment, put down his palm, and said, "I'll say goodbye to them."

Fu Changning didn't dare to stop him, and followed him to Nan Xing's room.The inside and outside of the house was filled with a strong smell of medicine. Fu Changning himself had drunk the medicine for several years, and was very tired of the smell, so he didn't follow in.

The beast king knocked on the door, and soon a handsome little boy came to open the door and welcome him into the house.Fu Changning stood guard in front of the door, and after hearing a few sporadic words in the room such as "I have done something that I am sorry to your master and apprentice", the Beastmaster walked out of the room and said to him, "Let's go."

The Beast King followed him out of the village. Seeing the Beast King coming out, the men in black robes guarding outside the village tied him up, forced him to kneel down, and said sharply, "You are good at hiding. You have been hiding in the realm of the human race for so many years. Can you get rid of our clan?!"

The Beastmaster said indifferently: "The years in Huanggu seem like a lifetime away. I didn't know what it's like to be a human until I lived in Nanling for a few years. I won't help you kill any more. I'd rather die than be driven by you. "

The men in black sneered, kicked him a few more times, and asked, "Tell me, is the child following the pharmacist your successor?"

The Beastmaster kneeling on the ground bowed his head in silence.

The man in black asked again: "Are you acquiescing?"

The beast king was silent for a moment, then Fang said: "Let them go, I am willing to kill myself, the premise is to save their master and apprentice lives."

Seeing this, Xie Liuchen thought to himself: "This beast king is also weird. You say he is affectionate and righteous, but he leads all the disasters to me. You say he has deep plans, but he is willing to protect me and Master Nan Xing." Suicide. Sigh, people’s hearts are really complicated.”

He thought again: "Master Nan Xing should know that the Beastmaster is going to die, but he doesn't fight or get angry. He probably knows that he is going to die soon."

The beast king was taken to the seaside before his death. His last wish was to let him take a last look at his hometown.

He knelt on the shore, glanced at the calm sea, bit his tongue and killed himself.

The tall body fell to the ground and gradually became cold.Fu Changning kicked the hard corpse on the ground, and the corner of his mouth curled up in a small arc: "He's dead now? Can you fulfill what you promised me?"

When the men in black heard this, they laughed hoarsely: "Hahaha, ignorant and greedy mortals are also qualified to negotiate terms with us? Do you want to live forever? Yes, we will fulfill you!"

"Throw him into the sea to feed the sea beasts!"

"Hahahaha!"

Fu Changning was startled and angry, and was about to run away, but as a mere mortal, how could he outrun this group of demons?He felt the back of his clothes tighten, and then the sky shook, and he was thrown into the sea by a force.

When it fell into the sea, the sea water poured into both ears, and a mocking and disdainful laughter could still be faintly heard in my ears.

Soon, countless sea beasts smelled the familiar smell of meat and swam towards them quickly. Fu Changning rolled back and forth in the sea, seeing that he was about to be swallowed by a huge sea beast, feeling desperate.Just at this time, there was an earthquake in Hokuriku, and the valley collapsed. The earth-shattering shock spread to the sea of ​​[-] miles.The sea beast suddenly heard the whistling sound of the demon dragon, and no longer cared about swallowing the food, it waved its tail fin and scattered away.

He lost all five senses, his consciousness was drowsy, and he let the violently turbulent sea water roll his body powerlessly. After an unknowingly long time, he felt as if he had landed on a piece of land.

As a result of God's will, Fu Changning not only survived the catastrophe, but was also washed to a vast land by the sea.
