The author of the book "The Book of the Dead"

Chapter 115 Preparation for corpse transformation, thousand years of reincarnation.

Northland.

A carriage was heading south from the north.

Several knights dressed in civilian clothes were guarding the area, and the coachman was a young man with a short beard and a decent temperament.

This person is Li Hu, who has been away for six years and is known as the Black-Hearted Tiger in the Six Towns.

The sound of children playing could be heard faintly from the carriage.

"Quiet! If you don't quiet down, come down and walk." Li Hu scolded.

There was no sound in the carriage except for the children's complaining murmurs.

Looking at the way home, Li Hu recalled when he first came to the north six years ago.

Now, she follows the instructions of her master, has established a firm foothold in the six northern towns, and has three children.

Li Hu went back now, firstly to see his great-grandfather, and secondly, to let his master personally remove the blood from the children's bodies.

When the master is no longer around, he will use the elixir to treat diseases for future generations.

The carriage went farther and farther away, facing the setting sun in the distance, and gradually disappeared at the end of the skyline.

"drive!"

At this time, a light cavalry rushed to the south.

The road intersected with a horse-drawn carriage.

"General Mulan?"

"Li Hu?"

The person who came was Mulan.

Six years later, Hua Mulan is now a woman in her late thirties, and the murderous look in her face is less evident.

"Are you going to look for Lingbao?"

"That's right." Li Hu nodded.

"Okay, let's go together."

Hua Mulan followed beside the carriage.

I was still thinking about how to find this guy, and it turned out to be so easy to find.

"General Mulan, didn't you defeat the Rouran? Why don't you return to Luoyang?" Li Hu asked curiously.

Hua Mulan had made great achievements in the past six years and was promoted to General of the Western Expedition. In the past few months, she defeated the main force of the Rouran, making them dare not attack again.

Now that the army has returned, they should stay in Luoyang and enjoy their wealth and prosperity.

"No need. This is not my ambition." Hua Mulan originally went to the war on behalf of her father.

So she confronted the emperor and asked him to confer the title on her brother.

I have been alone since then.

"I have broken through to the Xiantian realm. Now I have only one wish left." Hua Mulan looked towards the south, "Defeat Lingbao!"

"Li Hu, do you know where that guy is?"

“I know.” Li Hu looked embarrassed. With just his innate talent, he wanted to defeat the master?
That's too far-fetched.

The three of them set out on their journey to Jiankang.

After all, Li Hu had the token, so no one made things difficult for him along the way, and he was even able to stay at the imperial post station.

Half a month later, the city of Jiankang appeared under the golden light of the setting sun.

The two entered the city and came to the tallest tower in the city.

"How could there be such a tall tower in the world!" Hua Mulan stared at the pagoda that shone for miles and was unable to come back to her senses for a long time.

Is this where Lingbao lives?
Under the tower, Li Hu met his great-grandfather.

"Great-grandfather!!"

"Hu'er?" Li Hongwen turned around suddenly, his expression as if he had misheard.

Li Hu was followed by three little kids.

Without asking, Li Hongwen recognized at a glance that this was a descendant of the Li family.

"That's great." Li Hongwen sighed.

The Li family lineage has finally grown and expanded.

"Do you want to see the master?" Li Hongwen looked at the two of them.

"That's right." Mulan nodded, feeling a little surprised.

This old man is also called Master Lingbao?

Li Hongwen went deep into the pagoda to report.

"come in."

Li Hongwen led the two into the pagoda.

The tower was dark, with candles hanging from the wooden pillars.

Footsteps echoed in the open space.

Hua Mulan was curious about what her old friend looked like. After not seeing him for six years, she thought he was still as elegant and graceful as ever, with nothing in his eyes.

Got up to the ninth floor.

There was bright light inside the tower. A man stood with his hands behind his back, his back to the crowd, gazing at the endless scenery of the Yangtze River.

"Master, I'm back!" Li Hu shouted.

"Well, just come back."

The man turned around slowly, and the sunlight revealed the face of a handsome middle-aged man.

There is a line between the eyebrows that continuously emits golden light.

Hua Mulan couldn't believe that Lingbao had become so old. What was going on with the magic on his forehead?

"Brother Lingbao, are you sick?"

"No."

"then who are you?"

A gleam of light shone from Liang Yue's brows, and his eyes looked up at the empty sky. "Call me Liang Yue, Liang Shanbo, or Lingbao Sword Immortal, anything is fine."

"No wonder they call you Grandmaster..."

Mulan's desire to challenge was almost extinguished, because it turned out that he was really a person from heaven.

She couldn't calm down for a long time, and everything seemed like a dream.

There are people in this world who have cultivated the methods of immortals. No matter how high your martial arts skills are, how can you defeat the immortals?

Meeting an immortal who taught her the Dharma should be a cause for celebration. But for some reason, Hua Mulan felt a little disappointed.

"Mulan, what are your plans next?"

Liang Yue looked at Hua Mulan.

He also realized that the woman, like himself, had a feeling of having nothing to do after everything was over.

"I don't know. I fought for twelve years and now I don't know what I am doing."

"Then stay." Liang Yue said.

With the world people.

"That's fine." Hua Mulan had nowhere else to go, so she just settled down there for a while.

"Grandmaster, where is my disciple's son?"

"Let them in."

Li Hu brought three children, and Liang Yue removed their bloodlines one by one.

……

The night is vast and the stars are brilliant.

Liang Yue held a banquet for the first time.

At the banquet, Bao Zhao, Liang Yan, Liang Xin, Hua Mulan, Li Hu, Li Hongwen, and several people who knew Liang Yue's identity gathered there.

"When life is good, you should enjoy it to the fullest. Don't let the golden cup face the moon empty! Drink it up!"

This time the person who toasted was Liang Yue.

The faces attending the meeting have changed again.

Hua Mulan smiled for the first time in a long time. Her twelve-year military career finally came to an end. The Yong'an Pagoda will forever guard the Yangtze River.

In the spring of the seventh year of Kaiping (516).

The first banquet in Yong'an Tower ended successfully.

Both the host and the guests were having a great time and were drunk.

There is no such thing as a banquet that lasts forever.

The next day.

Li Hu bid farewell to Li Hongwen and Liang Yue deeply.

"See you!!"

Li Hongwen's eyes were slightly red and he was about to cry. At the age of 93, he probably would never see Li Hu again in his life.

But this is a good thing, my children and grandchildren will have their own future.

"Alas, living long is not a good thing. Over the years, I have seen my old friends leave one by one."

"The same is true for my teacher." Liang Yue said with a wry smile.

He lived for eighty years in his previous life, sixty years of corpse transformation and body refinement, plus ten years in this life.

He is at least 150 years old.

The mentality of those who have lived for a long time has been tempered a lot.

Li Hongwen rubbed his dry face and said to Liang Yue, "Master, I will take my leave first. I still have important matters to attend to in the sect."

"it is good."

Bao Zhao was pulling his beard, thinking hard.

"What do you think?"

Liang Yue went over and asked.

"Can you complete the poem that Master wrote yesterday?"

Life is full of joy, so that the gold is empty for the moon.

"No, it was just an accidental discovery."

Liang Yue left with a smile.

As I entered the tower, I suddenly heard the sound of wind.

It turned out to be a woman coming from under the eaves.

The woman is tall and has fair skin.

Combing her hair by the window, and putting on flowers in front of the mirror.

This is the first time Mulan meets people in her daughter form.

The woman pounced forward and took the head.

Liang Yue's figure turned into illusion and appeared in another place.

It turned out that he had moved the bricks used by ghosts and immortals to guard the house from the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang.

"You are cheating! You are not allowed to use magic!!"

Hua Mulan said unconvinced.

In the following days, the two practiced martial arts from time to time.

Liang Yue looked older and older, but his alchemy skills were better than in his previous life, so only his hair had turned grey and he had a few more wrinkles around his eyes. He looked like a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties.

Jiankang City.

On Zhuque Street and at the entrance of Wuyi Alley, there are rows of golden and powdered buildings. The cries of peddlers can be heard from the market town, and the aroma of water shield soup can be smelled in the teahouses.

Liang Yue walked on the bustling street, with the veiled Mulan behind him.

"Are you feeling okay?"

Hua Mulan looked at Liang Yue, whose wrinkles were increasing, and asked worriedly.

"It's okay, it will be fine later."

Liang Yue doesn't care about the Tao.

Traveling in the prosperous capital, beauties are covered with veils.

It can be regarded as an experience of the splendor of the Southern Dynasties.

"There is a lot of work to be done, but it's a pity that we haven't reached a prosperous age yet." Liang Yue thought to himself.

starry night.

Liang Yue took out Dielianhua and played the Guangling San from that year.

The lingering charm of Jiangzuo and the elegance of famous scholars.

The former prosperity is gone, and the passionate Guangling San actually carries a hint of desolation.

Perhaps it was because of the aging of his body, Liang Yue felt a little sad at this moment.

Sometimes I look back in my dreams and realize that for a corpse-reincarnated immortal like me, death is not scary at all. It is just a matter of closing and opening your eyes. Living is the real torture.

There is no one who shares the same path with me, no companion on the journey.

Watching their relatives and friends die one by one.

Eternal memory constantly reminds us that the past cannot be retrieved, but memory exists forever.

Liang Yue was alone, playing the desolate guzheng. The pattern between his eyebrows emitted a faint golden light.

This is a magical method of the gods, but it is also a ferocious beast that devours life. Before you can enjoy your second life, everything seems to be coming to an end.

When will this thousand-year cycle end?

As soon as the music was played, the rooster crowed and the world became bright.

It's a new day.

Liang Yue climbed up a tall building and overlooked the entire Jiankang City.

I have been in this place for six years.

He watched helplessly as prosperity was restored again. The "Buddha Emperor" downstairs who took the bullet for him was also a man of great skill.

“It won’t bring disgrace to the Liang family.” Liang Yue thought to himself.

His eyes looked elsewhere, even to the far north.

A mansion not far away is the headquarters of the Youlong Sword Sect, where Li Hongwen teaches his disciples how to practice sword.

Wuyi Lane, grandson Liang Xin returned home and passed on martial arts to future generations.

The other noble families and powerful clans came into contact with their own concepts of great circulation, innateness, acquiredness, and the release of internal strength, and also studied their family martial arts.

The martial arts culture gradually spread from the south to the north.

In Huaishuo Town, a mixed Hu tribe named Erzhu Rong began to rise.

In Wuchuan Town, a general with a decent appearance, complete armor and a majestic demeanor is teaching his children to practice martial arts.

He is proficient in boxing, swordsmanship, and martial arts.

"My unique martial arts skills are inherited from Lord Lingbao. It is an upright martial arts method that requires wide opening and closing to defeat the enemy with force." Li Hu said as he demonstrated.

"Understand?"

The three sons said in unison.

After finishing the drill, Li Hu wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked around, and closed the door.

"Come, come, your father has a unique skill that he never teaches to others easily. Come closer and listen. There are two moves in total. The first move is the Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers, and the second move is the King of Hell Nodding."

In several houses in Luoyang, some people discovered the martial arts techniques left by their ancestors.

The study of martial arts is beginning to take shape.

Liang Yue closed the window and came to the lotus platform to absorb the light of the sun god.

The silk thread on the jade silkworm slowly winds around.

When one’s life span reaches one hundred years, that is when the third eye opens.

The reason why he revealed his magic in this life was mainly because he discovered the Heavenly Eye Technique and the Longevity Pill. With the two combined, he could force his way through this life. Naturally, there was no need to conceal it anymore, as it would pass quickly anyway.

The development of martial arts in this era is too poor, and the era of human immortals came too late, neither going up nor down.

It's time to prepare for reincarnation.
