The disaster of the world begins with Dongfang Bubai

Chapter 83 The Worldly Affairs Are Over
Three years later.

A man wearing a black robe and a bamboo hat, whose face could not be seen, was walking on a deserted mountain path.

When he reached the middle of the mountain, he looked up and saw a handsome face. It was Xi Mingzhang.

"After three years of traveling around the world, I finally realized the source of the spiritual changes in the world." Xi Mingzhang looked at a mountain in the distance that seemed to be suspended in the air, and couldn't help but curl his lips and thought to himself:

"The aura of the divine world has changed dramatically. The divine tree has grown ten thousand feet tall, and its roots are like clouds hanging from the sky, which has greatly enhanced the spiritual power of the human world."

"The area closest to the roots of the sacred tree gathered soil and rocks from the surrounding area, and gradually expanded to form a strange mountain that seemed to be suspended in the air. Later, it was named Shu Mountain."

Two years later.

The ground near Shu Mountain has a special aura and an extremely strong spiritual power, which was discovered by some alchemists.

Gradually, Shu Mountain also became a legendary fairy mountain, and people began to build houses here to practice. Each person's practice method was different, and it all depended on self-realization.

There is an elegant bamboo building on a steep peak of Mount Shu. Not far from this place, a stern young man and a beautiful woman are walking side by side on the mountain path, followed by more than a hundred black-armored soldiers.

"Zisheng, do you think Xi Mingzhang is on this mountain?"

"The spiritual power here is growing day by day. It is a great place to practice away from the mundane world. If you were to ask where in the world he is most likely to be, it would be here."

"We have visited all the alchemists who have built their huts in the mountains. This secluded place is the only one left. It depends on whether God will fulfill your wish and let you get what you want."

"Hahaha, it seems that you are not as calm as you appear. You and I have been married for three years and have a son and a daughter. I want to find him only because I feel that my husband and I owe him a thank you."

"Nian Nian, if you say that, you really don't understand Xi Mingzhang as well as I do. To him, gratitude or not is not important at all."

"He is the kind of person who does everything according to his own heart, without distinguishing right from wrong, and without caring about who it is."

“Moreover, he is a person who seeks the truth with all his heart, like a bird without feet, who never looks back but keeps moving forward.”

As the two walked and talked, a light laugh suddenly came:
"Haha, I said, why are you here if you don't want to enjoy worldly wealth?"

Upon hearing this, the group couldn't help but look over and saw a handsome Taoist priest in a light yellow Taoist robe on the bamboo building.

A moment later, on the bamboo building.

Xi Mingzhang and Huo Wushang and his wife sat and stood opposite each other.

"You've come all this way, you guys don't really just want to say thank you, do you?"

Cheng Shaoshang spoke first:
"It was only after I got married to Zisheng that I learned many things from him. I thought that if it weren't for your help, the three futures you told me about back then would have happened before my eyes."

"Plus, ever since my parents came back home, I thought life would be much better, but I didn't expect it to become even more uncomfortable. Fortunately, Zisheng asked His Majesty to arrange a marriage for me not long after, so I was able to escape from the sea of ​​suffering early."

Xi Mingzhang smiled faintly:
"Although it may be a bit disappointing, I still want to say that I did this just to go with the flow, and I also gained some things that you don't know about, so there is no need to thank me."

Cheng Shaoshang did not comment, silently put the package beside him on the table in front of him, and then slowly opened it, and saw a bag of maltose. She opened a bag, handed it to her with both hands, and said with a smile:
"Shao Shang has loved all kinds of food since he was young. Although he was often driven away by his second aunt to a farm in the countryside to suffer from hunger and confinement, his personality has not changed. This maltose is especially unforgettable to me."

"In the past, people could only look forward to eating maltose during the New Year, but nowadays, it is available in abundance."

She paused and continued:

"Shao Shang is not good at studying, nor is he good at martial arts, but he is very good at other skills. For example, I can brew wine, and I can brew the strongest and purest wine in the capital. "I can build water wheels, which are more flexible and simpler than ordinary water wheels. I can also build kilns and burn tiles. The tiles I burn are as strong and durable as those in the palace, but they can save half the manpower and material resources. "

"And these maltose are all made by Shao Shang himself."

After hearing this, Xi Mingzhang's smile faded. He took the maltose and placed it on the table, then picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, chewing it slowly.

After a while, he spoke calmly:
"The maltose is good, but unfortunately it still tastes a little different from the maltose I remember."

"Memories are the most precious thing. Shao Shang certainly doesn't dare to hope that the maltose he makes can be compared with them."

"Your temper has changed a lot since you became a mother." Xi Mingzhang changed the subject and ordered her to leave:
"I guess you guys don't have anything to do, so I'll beg your pardon for not entertaining you."

When the two heard this, they stood up and bowed at the same time. Huo Wushang said again:
"After today's farewell, we may never meet again. I want to express my sincere gratitude and please take care of yourself, Brother Xi."

Cheng Shaoshang also said:
"Shao Shang also hopes that Brother Xi can stay away from the world for a long time, so that he can get rid of all the knots in his heart and become an immortal."

Xi Mingzhang stood up and said calmly:

“The sun in the sky is always the setting sun and the rising sun. When it goes down the mountain, extinguishing the desolate sunset, it is the time when it climbs up the mountain top, burning on the other side, spreading the blazing morning light.”

"You guys are too biased towards me and think too highly of me. Go back."

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure became vague and disappeared like a bubble.

Although Huo Wushang and Cheng Shaoshang did not quite understand some of the words, they could understand their meaning. It should mean that the affairs of the world are over and they will surely make progress on the road to immortality and achieve some success.

Thinking of this, they said no more and turned around and went downstairs.

Ten days later.

Xi Mingzhang was meditating on a cushion on the terrace of the bamboo building. As he looked around, a layer of white light curtain appeared out of thin air around the bamboo building. It was a formation he had set up here by applying what he had learned from the world of A Chinese Ghost Story.

This formation was exactly the one he had created to seal the Youquan in the underworld, and its name was the Xuanxin Qiankun Formation.

Immediately, Xi Mingzhang said:

"Over the past five years, the spiritual power of the human world has gradually prospered, and cultivation has also gradually improved."

A fire crow, about 20 to 30 feet long and extremely handsome, appeared above the bamboo building. It was surrounded by scorching flames and was so powerful that it was like facing a raging sea of ​​fire, making people afraid to approach it.

Xi Mingzhang raised his eyes, looked at the Fire Crow, and shook his head:
"The blood power in my body is not from some mythical beast or alien species. I continue to refine the divinity of my blood, but what I get is still a fire crow."

"My luck is the same as before."

"The cessation of the divine way is indeed not without reason. Although the path is very clear, if the bloodline is not good, then everything is empty talk."

He smiled inexplicably and said lightly:

"You may as well use the method of refining qi to become an immortal, to replenish the divinity of your blood. Now that most of the qi points in your body have been filled, you still need to practice breathing in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It's time to travel through the heavens."

As a heavy and majestic ancient bell sounded in Xi Mingzhang's mind, his heart and soul were immersed in the world beyond his reach.
