The fairy father

"ASEAN Inspection Envoy Li Ping'an has met all seniors."

Li Ping'an bowed in greeting, and the six old golden immortals each nodded with a smile.

Xu Sheng came forward with Li Dazhi, Xiao Yue supported Mu Cilin and followed behind, and Wenrou, Wang Xinhui, Zi Sang and others also moved forward.

Only Qingsu didn't like the crowds and took the initiative to go to the corner of the Fountain of Youth.

With a veil on her face, she looked up at Qingluan in the sky, admiring its appearance and wondering about two questions.

The first question is why the bird hasn't come down yet.

The second question is more offensive...

Here, old man Tianli smiled gently at Mu Cilin and said seriously: "Ping An, let's not talk about anything else. You seemed to have made a breakthrough just now, and you said you can solve the dilemma between the Fountain of Youth and the Mu family?"

The old man looked up at the blue luan bird circling in the sky and said with a smile:

"In this way, this can be regarded as Queen Mother Xi's test for you. This is a rare opportunity, and Queen Mother Xi is very generous in her actions.

"Peace, don't be anxious, take your time."

"yes!"

Li Ping'an imitated the ASEAN immortal general and bowed his hands to the old man Tianli.

He said sternly: "Junior did not talk nonsense just now. There is a solution to the dilemma here."

"Oh? Peaceful, right?"

An old doctor from the Golden Fairyland stroked his beard and said with a smile:

"Since ancient times, Pindao has saved lives and healed the wounded in countless ways, but today I have to ask you.

"How do you break the connection between Mu Cilin's spiritual power, Mu Cilin's soul, and the Fountain of Youth itself?

"Even if you use the method of cutting souls or fusing souls, I'm afraid you will be counterattacked by the Fountain of Youth."

"What the senior said is absolutely true. This matter is really difficult to solve, and it's not up to me to solve it."

Li Ping'an cupped his hands and said:

"This junior also understood the principles of the Fountain of Youth by accident.

"Everyone should have seen just now that this junior has obtained a method of spiritual transformation. This method allows the junior's soul to undergo a transformation and obtain many benefits."

Several old men nodded.

Li Ping'an smiled and said: "The key lies in the method of spiritual transformation. We need to pull out the spiritual energy from Aunt Mu Cilin's body, let the junior perform the spiritual transformation technique, and then rely on the power of the Fountain of Youth itself to tangle the tangle of spiritual energy into a ball. Consciousness separates.”

Several old men each had their doubts.

"The power of the Fountain of Youth itself?"

"Your method of spiritual transformation is unheard of and unseen."

Old man Tianli deliberately raised his hand to Li Ping'an in front of the ASEAN golden immortals, and asked in a gentle voice:

"Ping'an, how did you realize the principles under the Fountain of Youth? Don't be autistic, tell everyone about it."

"Alas, junior, I obey."

Li Ping'an let out a long sigh, turned around and stared at the Fountain of Youth, and tried to speak as concisely and concisely as possible about his previous understanding:

“To live and die is the law of nature, to prolong life and avoid death is the way to go.

“But there is a price to pay for extending life and avoiding death, just like this Fountain of Youth, there is also a certain price to pay for the Fountain of Youth to be effective.

"This price is... the 3,600 seriously injured and dying human immortal soldiers who followed the daughter of Limu to this place to hide in the world.

"They reached this point, then sacrificed themselves, injecting all their vitality into the Fountain of Youth, and let the fountain of youth flow out with gurgling water. This spring water is their gift.

“The Fountain of Youth is not just a spring.

“The spring is water with roots, and the innate spiritual root of the Fountain of Youth in West Kunlun cannot be moved out.

"The Fountain of Youth here should have been forged by the ancient sages of the human race according to the 'Fountain of Youth Method' given to the human race by the Queen Mother of the West.

"Burn my remaining body to create a fountain of youth.

“Keep it alive for future generations to use.

"The 3,600 immortal soldiers and generals took off their armor here, stacked their armor into a hill, left their own marks on the stone tablet, and then threw themselves into the Fountain of Youth.

“That’s why it says [Burial of Bones] on that stone tablet.

“That’s why this fountain of youth comes from.”

Li Ping'an stopped talking, and everyone expressed emotion.

Li Pingan thought for a while and continued:

"Li Mu's daughter must not have started practicing yet, or she may be one of the 3,600 seriously injured and dying humans.

"But she must use the spring water to shed her body and be reborn.

"After all, this fountain of youth is just an imitation, not an innate spiritual root, so it has certain flaws, and this flaw will be filled by the daughter of Li Mu.

"Li Mu's daughter kept her promise and passed it down from generation to generation, guarding the fountain of youth here and leading the human race here to thrive. She gradually lost herself in the constant transformation of life and death. When the new spirit was born later, she no longer knew that the old body should be killed immediately. Mistakenly believe that the Fountain of Youth is for reproduction.

"Or maybe the daughter of Limu protects the Fountain of Youth because of this wrong use of the Fountain of Youth. I have estimated that with it, the population of millions or even tens of millions can be tripled in a short period of time.

"For mortals, the death of one of his children at forty is considered a normal life.

"This is the secret of the Fountain of Youth here."

After everyone listened, everyone expressed emotion.

Three thousand six hundred seriously wounded immortal soldiers sacrificed themselves to forge this fountain of youth;

The daughter of Limu has been guarding for 70,000 years, passing on the fire of hope.

Li Dazhi murmured beside him: "Why is the rise of our human race so tragic?"

Old Man Tianli sighed: "It's much more tragic than you imagine, but it's all in the past. If you work hard now, you'll be safe... just keep talking."

"yes."

Li Ping'an cupped his hands and said:

"When I understood why the Fountain of Youth was born, I discovered... that the spiritual power in Ning Ning's mother's body had no solution other than direct destruction.

“My junior sister is essentially the daughter of Li Mu who has transformed for sixteen hundred generations.

"But Ning Ning has lived her own life. She is the chivalrous woman who inspired the world with her sword, and she is the Caiyun Peak disciple who wants to follow the path of immortality. She should not be swallowed up by this spiritual power.

"Fortunately, as the disciple continued to realize the Tao, he got in touch with the spiritual thoughts contained in the Fountain of Youth, and finally found the way to understand it. Everything started because this Fountain of Youth was not the real Fountain of Youth, and everything should end with this Fountain of Youth.

"My method of spiritual transformation is derived from the Taoist principles of the Fountain of Youth. If this method is useless, then only the Queen Mother of the West's True Fountain of Youth can solve it."

He looked up into the sky, and the blue luan bird was still just circling.

Old Man Tianli thought carefully, and several doctors from the Golden Fairyland spoke to each other to discuss.

After a while, Old Man Tianli said: "If you are sure, just give it a try. Just try your best. I will bear the consequences for you."

"Thank you, senior."

Li Pingan said seriously:

"Ning Ning is my childhood sweetheart and junior sister, and Aunt Mu's wife will be my mother-in-law in the future. I will not dare to cast spells randomly."

Old Man Tianli glanced at his daughter and felt a little regretful in his heart.

It's a pity that this boy has a childhood sweetheart, his junior sister, the daughter of his dignified ASEAN deputy alliance, so he can't marry her as a side wife.

"You come and do it. If you need to prepare anything, just give us orders. If the eight golden immortals here are not enough for you, I will call a few more! ASEAN offers hundreds to thousands!"

Li Ping'an hurriedly said: "It doesn't have to be like this, my father and master can just help me."

After saying this, Li Ping'an cupped his hands and ran to his father to whisper a few words.

Li Dazhi nodded in agreement, turned around and walked towards Mu Cilin, while Li Ping'an jumped to the altar-like fountain of youth and whispered to his master.

Soon, Li Dazhi ordered Wang Xinhui to bring a dozen chairs, and he supported Mu Cilin and walked step by step towards the Fountain of Youth.

Wanyun Sect, on Caiyun Peak.

Mu Ningning felt a little uneasy, stopped practicing, opened the window and looked at the green bamboo forest.

She held a puppet in her hand, her delicate fingers slid slightly on the puppet's cheek, and she leaned against the window and sighed slightly.

Although the senior brother had just left the mountain gate not long ago, once he knew that he could not find that figure in the cave, he couldn't help but miss him a little in his heart.

'Hurry up and practice. You are about to go home. You can't be left too far behind by your senior brother. ’

…

"Master, father, put on your mask."

Li Pingan warned, and then slowly took his seat from the fountain of youth. Qingsu and Li Dazhi sat on the left and right behind Li Pingan.

Mu Cilin was lying quietly in the spring water at this moment, floating on the surface of the water supported by the immortal power.

After taking a little bit of the magic pill, she fell into a deep sleep.

Her facial skin, as smooth as a young woman's, formed a sharp contrast with the dry skin on her arms and back of her hands.

Eight golden immortals were seated not far away. Two true immortals, Wang Xinhui and Zi Sang, were responsible for maintaining order in the surrounding area, so that the mortal warriors who had gathered should not get too close to here.

Li Ping'an took a breath, flicked his fingers, and a drop of spring water floated over and was put into the palms of his hands.

Immediately afterwards, Li Ping'an made seals with both hands and used the method of spiritual transformation that he had just comprehended. This drop of spring water continued to decompose and reorganize, and wisps of mysterious Taoist charms escaped from Li Ping'an's body.

Li Ping'an shouted: "Master."

"Um."

Qing Su closed her eyes, raised her sword fingers to quickly form a seal, and pointed her slender fingers at Mu Cilin rather gently. As Li Ping'an had previously instructed, she wrapped Mu Cilin's soul with the power of immortal consciousness, and restored her soul. The soul slowly pulled up.

I saw a shadow slowly flying out of Mu Cilin's chest. It was more than three inches tall and stood in the air. It was the same appearance and figure as Mu Cilin.

But behind Mu Cilin's soul, a gray ribbon extended backwards.

At the end of the ribbon is a cloud of gray air, with hands and feet stretching out from the gray air, and more than 1,600 souls that are entangled and difficult to sort out are vaguely visible.

Although he had been mentally prepared before, seeing such a situation actually made Li Pingan's heart sink.

"Master, hold on to this group of spiritual energy behind you."

"Yeah, hold on."

Li Ping'an closed his eyes, and the spiritual spring in his palm was trembling rapidly. He raised his sword finger with his left hand, and the spiritual spring flew to the fingertips of his left hand. As he moved forward a little, the drop of spiritual spring water that he had transformed flew into Into that group of spiritual energy.

Sighs suddenly came from the aura.

Fortunately, it was just a sigh and not a cry.

In other words, this entangled soul has no resentment, just some regrets.

After a while, some breath fell off the air mass and transformed into a young woman dressed in white.

She lowered her head to look at Mu Cilin floating below, and couldn't help but feel sad, lowered her head and shed tears, and whispered: "Cilin, my mother is incompetent and cannot solve this dilemma."

As he spoke, the figure began to slowly disappear.

Li Ping'an suddenly said: "Father."

Li Dazhi nodded, and his immortal power flowed into the Fountain of Youth. According to the method Li Ping'an said, he quickly recited the Taoist Scripture of Saving People and shouted loudly:

"Congratulations to the martyrs of our clan!"

Two green dots slowly rose from the Fountain of Youth. The green dots rotated slightly, drawing away the shadows of a man and a woman wearing battle armor.

The phantom stepped forward to salute Mu Cilin's mother, supported her from left to right, and then walked slowly from east to west, towards the west mountain.

When he couldn't walk more than nine steps, the three phantoms turned into spiritual energy and dissipated at the same time.

Old Man Tianli raised his head and was speechless. Several golden immortals bowed their heads. There were two old women who were a little more sentimental. Although they had seen too much life and death, they couldn't help but have red eyes.

The first time I succeeded in spiritual interpretation, then I simply repeated the same thing.

Li Ping'an kept taking pictures of the spiritual spring water, constantly refining the spring water, and sending it into the entangled souls. In order from near to far in time, he kept picking off the souls that should not have been born.

Every time a woman in white falls;

Each time, a wisp of the remnant souls of two immortal soldiers and generals flew out of the water, supporting the woman in white on their way to dissipating between heaven and earth.

Through repeated spell casting, Li Ping'an gained a deeper understanding of the method of spiritual transformation, and his technique became smoother.

He began to take in a ball of spiritual spring water and refine it at the same time. Then he could separate hundreds of drops of spiritual spring water and merge them into the entangled spiritual energy one by one.

A woman in white passed away.

Before they leave, they always look back at the peach blossom forest.

Li Ping'an's complexion gradually became a little pale, and the 'vast' magic power in his body gradually dried up.

Li Ping'an had already expected this.

Li Dazhi put his palms behind Li Ping'an. Without using the magical power of father and son, the immortal power from the same origin and sect merged into Li Ping'an's body, and Li Ping'an's magic power was soon filled again.

However, mana can be replenished, but the power and spirit of the soul cannot be replenished in this way.

After ferrying away more than 600 women in white, Li Ping'an actually felt tired;

After ferrying away half of the women in white, Li Ping'an could no longer hold on, so he could only swallow the elixir, meditate for a while, and then continue to ferry.

Li Dazhi said distressedly: "Do you want to do it again tomorrow? You can hardly hold it anymore."

"I'm just mentally exhausted. I'll just go back and take a nap."

Li Pingan smiled and said:

"Dad, don't keep seniors waiting. It's safe to finish this matter first."

"Oh, it's up to you," Li Dazhi responded in a low voice.

Qing Su said: "You only come to refine the spiritual spring water, and I will guide the spiritual spring water."

"Okay," Li Pingan agreed.

This division of labor has greatly improved efficiency and Li Ping'an's burden has been greatly reduced.

Gradually, the entangled spiritual energy was only the size of a fist.

After Li Ping'an crossed the 1,623 souls, the water of Lingquan became as clear as glass.

The fist-sized piece of spiritual energy slowly expanded, like a waterfall of green silk hanging from the inside. The spiritual energy shrank, and a young woman wearing a white dress appeared inside, looking at Mu Cilin's soul in front of her with a smile.

Is this the daughter of Li Mu?

Old man Tianli and all the golden immortals stood up to pay their respects at the same time.

Li Ping'an was extremely sleepy at the moment. He reluctantly opened his eyes and looked forward, and suddenly heard a faint singing voice in his ears.

"The son's soup is on top of Wanqiu. There is love but no hope."

Li Pingan was in a trance, as if he saw a grassland, with groups of strange beasts strolling leisurely. There was a girl holding a green bamboo, humming this ballad, and driving away the strange beasts that looked like sheep.

The next moment, Li Pingan closed his eyes, slowly lay back, and was hugged by Qing Su.

In a daze, the girl seemed to be standing in front of him, looking at her with a smile.

‘Is it Ningning? ’

‘I should be Ningning, but Ningning is not me. ’

‘Then you are? ’

'Just think of me as Ning Ning, and from now on there will only be Ning Ning... Thank you very much. This pool of spiritual power will soon dissipate. As a thank you to you, I have kept it for a long time, but the result is... It's useless... Li Ping'an, right? You must treat my descendants well, or in other words, treat me well. ’

'okay. ’

Li Ping'an responded in his heart, and the characters 'zigzag' appeared on the head of the little Yuanshen.

Faintly, he heard another sigh.

‘It turns out we won. ’

All the immortals saw:

The woman in white fell next to the spiritual spring, held her hands in front of her belly, and bowed to the spiritual spring. A little green light flew out of the spiritual spring, and the green light turned into the shadow of a famous immortal soldier and general. Standing at the edge of the pool.

The woman in white smiled and said, "It's time to go home."

All the soldiers will clasp their fists and salute: "You can go back."

Then, the figure of the woman in white sank into the spiritual spring, and the soldiers sang in a deep voice. The song had the ambition of Sui Man Fu Xi, and the song had the brightness of Shennong Xuanyuan.

The soldiers will take nine steps to the west and disappear.

The water from the spiritual spring has disappeared, replaced by an orb, which falls on the top of Li Ping'an's head, scattering boundless spiritual energy. Qing Su and Li Dazhi each receive one or two percent.

The orb shrank rapidly, for a moment it was like a bright moon, for a moment it was like a wine bowl, for a moment it was like a dragon's eye, and finally it disappeared.

Wanyun Sect, on Caiyun Peak.

Mu Ningning, who was meditating, yawned, slowly lowered his head and fell asleep, and began to have a long, long dream.

Above the spiritual spring.

Mu Cilin slowly sat up, wisps of vitality escaping from her body. The wrinkles on the back of her hands and neck had disappeared, and her black hair slowly fell down, as if she were an ordinary woman in her twenties or seventies.

The Qingluan hovering in the sky gave a loud cry, folded its wings, shrank its body, and slowly fell downwards.

Sorry, need to take a day off.

After writing this chapter, I suddenly heard the news that my friend had passed away. I sat in front of the computer for a long time and couldn't write anything for some reason.

I am not involved in the author circle, and I am familiar with only eight or nine authors. July is one of the few author friends I have met offline.

Think about it again... Since the serialization of this book, I have spent time on coding every day, because I know the difficulty of creating this book, such as the double penetration of father and son, the reconstruction of gods, and the avoidance of repeating the plot of my famous work. Or something, so I left home early for seclusion and lived alone in Weihai. I didn’t go downstairs for several months and kept doing coding... Now, I suddenly want to go home. I want to go back to my wife and daughter, and I want to take them to spend more time with me. parents.

The ideal I had set up since my youth was to write the best stories so that more people would know that there had been such an author. However, I suddenly realized that it was indeed too selfish to pursue my ideals so obsessively and ignore my family.

Updates should resume tomorrow evening, and I will make up for any missing updates.

Everyone, please remember to stay up less late and do more physical examinations to take care of your health. For now, I’m going to book a flight.
