Chapter 135
If the old Taoist priest did not lie, then the Fountain of Youth is likely to be the original culprit that caused all this.
As the saying goes, a common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying a jade.
Even if the old Taoist priest is unwilling to use such a life-changing thing, there is no guarantee that others will not covet it.
Just like in the world of cultivating immortals, whenever an unowned magic weapon appears, countless people will rush to snatch it.
Even the lowest grade magic weapon is the dream of many immortal cultivators.
Especially in today's age of Dharma Ending, the lineage of weapon cultivators capable of forging magic weapons has almost been cut off.
Most of the existing magic weapons were left over from a thousand years ago, before the Age of Ending Dharma.
This has also resulted in a situation where there are more wolves and less meat.
Immortal cultivators who have the ability to possess magic weapons are all from large sects or powerful independent cultivators.
While cultivating immortality may seem illusory, it is actually a matter of countless people competing for the chance of immortality.
The word "struggle" is what we pay attention to!
You have no fight with the world and have no desires or demands, but that doesn’t mean that others won’t fight and steal what you have.
Whenever something like the Fountain of Youth appears in the world of immortality that defies fate and changes destiny, it will inevitably attract major forces to compete for it.
At that time, I am afraid that not only Xiaqing County, but also the entire Shengzhou in the Central Region and even the entire world of immortality will be uneasy because of this.
So Que'er can understand the old Taoist priest's attitude towards the Fountain of Youth.
When the old Taoist priest gave up his ascension, left his sect, and chose to live in a corner for the rest of his life, he had already given up on immortality.
No matter how magical the Fountain of Youth is, it is just useless to him.
Not to mention that such a destiny-changing thing will cause countless troubles.
Queer guessed that someone coveted the Fountain of Youth, which caused some bad things.
Que'er originally planned to wait for the old Taoist priest to tell her what exactly happened, but now it seems it's too late.
After Queer asked a question, the old Taoist priest was silent for a long time, but in the end he still did not tell the whole truth.
But he had no intention of taking the truth of the matter to his grave.
At the end of his life, the old Taoist priest pointed out a clear path for Queer.
"Little girl..."
"Taoist Master, I'm here!"
Que'er shouted loudly despite the pressure of the spiritual energy storm. This shout made the movement of the fairy power in her body even more chaotic.
A mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth unconsciously and scattered all over the floor. Que'er wiped the corner of his mouth with his sleeve indifferently.
Even though her body was close to its limit, all the meridians in her body were broken and her immortal power was reversed.
If she cannot be treated in time, she may become a disabled person in the future.
The old Taoist priest plans to blow up his Dantian and destroy everything here, including himself.
Que'er has more than she can afford, so she plans to listen to the old Taoist priest's last words.
"Mortals are small, and trying to achieve immortality by cultivating immortals is going against heaven. Therefore, when they ascend, Heaven will bring disaster. Although the Fountain of Youth can increase life span, trying to achieve immortality with the help of external objects is even worse in the eyes of Heaven.
This is intolerable. Such actions that go against heaven and change your destiny will have backlash, remember!"
"Taoist Priest, why..."
"Ahem...little girl, don't interrupt yet, listen to what the veteran has to say."
"Well..."
"The fountain of youth is an ominous thing."
As soon as these words came out, Queer was stunned.
Could it be said that besides helping people live forever, the Fountain of Youth also hides other mysteries?
The old Taoist priest didn't seem to intend to explain more, and he didn't have extra time to explain.
The old Taoist priest who is in the center of the spiritual energy storm has come to the end of his life. No matter his body or soul, there is no life left at all. He is still able to speak with the last breath left in his Dantian.
It is the newborn spiritual energy contained in the Dantian when a baby is born.
As long as this breath dissipates, he will also dissipate along with the spiritual energy storm, and even the fragments of his soul will not remain in the world.
This is the most tragic way for a cultivator to die.
Que'er's eyes were filled with tears, her lips were biting tightly, but in the end she didn't ask.
These are the old Taoist priest's last words, and she must listen carefully.
"As for the origin of the Fountain of Youth, the old Taoist priest has no time to explain to you. You just need to remember that everything in this world has a price. Some prices you can bear; and some prices you cannot bear.
.From the moment you get the Fountain of Youth, you must take responsibility for this period of cause and effect. The Fountain of Youth is the cause, and the choices you make are the consequences. You have to pay the price for the choices you make, so you must carefully
Make a choice. For example, you cannot let others drink the water from the Fountain of Youth because of a momentary softness of heart. Because this behavior itself is changing your destiny against heaven!"
The hoarse and deep voice of the old Taoist priest rang in Que'er's ears like a solemn bell. She opened her mouth blankly, and her mouth suddenly felt dry.
"Why..."
She originally wanted to ask the old Taoist priest why he knew what she was thinking, but she swallowed it back when the words reached her lips.
Because if the old Taoist priest hadn't told her, she might have let the old woman drink a drop of water from the Fountain of Youth without knowing it.
Although a drop of water from the Fountain of Youth can only increase your life span by ten years, this is already an act of changing your destiny.
By then, not only her, but even the old woman may have to bear the consequences.
How can the cause and effect of heaven be something that mortals can afford.
An old woman who could have spent her old age peacefully may suffer as a result.
This goes against Queer's original intention, she just wanted to repay the old woman's kindness.
Thinking of this, cold sweat broke out on Que'er's forehead. She had never thought that owning a treasure was a sin in itself, especially a treasure that could change one's destiny.
"Little girl, this is all the old man has to say. If..."
"What if...?"
"Alas..."
"Taoist Priest, please finish what you said! What on earth is going on!"
The old Taoist priest said half of what he said, which made Que'er very anxious.
The old Taoist priest obviously still has unfulfilled wishes. If he can't hear what he has to say, Que'er will probably feel restless and unable to sleep.
"Alas..." The old Taoist priest at the center of the storm sighed again, his figure gradually becoming ethereal, "Little girl, can I ask you a favor?"
"Taoist Master, tell me!"
This is the first time Que'er heard the old Taoist priest's condescending tone.
If it was a cause and effect, a transaction before, now it is a private request of the old Taoist priest.
"If...you meet Lin'er in the future, please tell her that Master has always missed her."
"Lin'er? Taoist Priest, you know where Linyu is, right? Where should I go to see her, and what does she look like? Taoist Priest..."
Before Queer finished speaking, with a loud bang, the spiritual energy storm gradually shrank and finally disappeared completely.
The old Taoist priest who was at the center of the spiritual storm left nothing behind except his last words.
In front of Que'er's eyes was ruins. The spiritual energy storm finally swept through the entire Peach Blossom Temple, and even the Peach Blossom Forest was destroyed.
She stood there sluggishly, not coming back to her senses for a long time.
