The immortal black snake just wants to live simply

Although the immortal who can turn all things into things with ink would draw three meals a day for himself every day, it may be because his ideological level cannot reach the level of the immortal. Even if the food tastes exactly the same as normal food, It can even fill your stomach...

But the girl always felt terrified.

The two immortals will go to a famous local restaurant and order all the signature dishes.

The girl is a very observant child, and she can detect the close relationship between the immortal named Xi and the immortal named Zhu Jiuyin.

Most women will taste each dish first, and then concentrate on eating the dishes they find delicious.

Men, on the other hand, are not picky at all and have a great appetite, and will eat up all the leftover food left by women and girls.

Whenever they go to a restaurant, the girl has an illusion.

It was as if she had found a [home] again.

……

"Speaking of which, little one, we haven't asked you what your name is yet."

"...Don't want to use your own name? Well, after all, the past of being abandoned is really uncomfortable."

"Well, let me give you a name. How about I call you Feng Aotian?"

"Li? Come on, Xi, your name is too monotonous. One word is so boring... Let me state in advance that I have no intention of making a mockery of your family."

"Really~"

"Hey, little one, do you listen to me or her?"

"Feng Aotian! Powerful and domineering, catchy... uh, don't you like it?"

"What a tasteless little guy..."

……

Soon, as the years passed, the figure standing next to the woman studying ink grew up day by day, and the follower carrying the package behind the man grew up day by day.

Li changed from a child, to a girl, and then to an adult.

She is becoming more and more mature, both physically and mentally.

But time has not left any trace on the bodies of men and women.

The woman's beautiful appearance is still unparalleled, while the man's chin still has a fake beard of unknown meaning.

Although Li felt that anyone could tell that the man was a young man who was pretending to be mature... No, the man seemed really old.

Sure enough, the thoughts of immortals are beyond the reach of ordinary people.

……

But Li gradually felt that he was incompatible with the two immortals.

Does the immortal who can ink regenerate ink really need a book boy who studies ink?

Does the immortal who can move mountains and seas really need a follower to carry things?

Can a mortal... really stay with an immortal forever?

So one night, Li revealed his true feelings to the two of them.

She wants to leave.

The man did not agree.

He reprimanded Li for being ungrateful, showed Li the suffering of all living beings, and told her that today's life is something that many people can only dream of.

Not afraid of natural disasters, not afraid of bandits, not worried about food and clothing... You can even get guidance from immortals and witness the scenery that ordinary people can't see in their lifetime.

If you can please the two of them, immortality is not an unreachable thing.

It doesn't matter if he can't bear the flesh and blood of the demon. Black Snake can extract Li's soul, will, emotions, and memories completely, and then give them to Zai Xi's painting, becoming a real person in the painting.

Even though Xi's picture scroll will also wear out with the passage of time, it is much better than the frail body of a mortal.

Black Snake, who had not yet met the Witch King at this time, actually looked down upon mortals.

Of course He knows the power of mortals united, but the power of mortals united is never the power of one mortal.

They cheered for the strength of the collective, but few could understand that without the collective, these mortals were nothing in the eyes of the behemoth.

Even the old heavenly masters of Great Yan, in the eyes of the black snake, are just the dying struggle of some lives that are on the verge of exhaustion and shining back.

Black snakes don't want to provoke them, just like people don't want to provoke mad dogs, but it doesn't mean that black snakes are afraid of them.

What about using the Source Stone to extend your life?After all, it is just to slightly extend his life for a moment.

At this time, in the eyes of Black Snake, Li was just a little pet that he and Xi had raised together.

Pets are not qualified to leave their owners' side.

……

Being rejected for the first time, Li was a little disappointed, but actually he didn't have much negative emotions.

Because she does know the horror of the outside world, and she also understands that following the two immortals is a life that many people in this land can only dream of.

There was no trace of resentment against men in her heart, because she felt that men were doing it for her own good.

And the woman said nothing.

Maybe... the woman doesn't want Li, who is regarded as a half-disciple, to leave her.

……

But time passed again, and Li's feeling of being out of place became more and more serious.

She has gradually understood that a man never takes her seriously, he always only has that woman in his eyes.

Although the woman wanted to teach him how to draw, Li also knew that she would never be able to reach the heights of an immortal in her lifetime.

Even after so many years, she still couldn't get used to the cold life of the immortals and the extremely long concept of time, so she asked again if she could leave.

This time, the man stopped talking and just looked at the woman.

The woman did not refuse, she just made a bet with the little guy who was brought up by herself and the man.

"If you can see through my picture, you can leave."

Hearing this, the man smiled.

In his opinion, Li obviously couldn't see through the woman's picture.

Then the woman definitely doesn't want Li to leave.

……

So, Li entered the picture scroll.

She learned farming skills from working with farmers in a farmland.

She learned the skills of speaking and selling by watching the vendors coming and going in the streets and alleys.

From the unknown martial arts school, she worshiped the master of the martial arts school as her teacher, and learned the lifelong skills that can protect herself.

She learned so much that she almost lost herself.

But okay.

she came out.

The decades in the painting are just a moment in the outside world.

This bet...she won.

Even if Li knew it, it was because the woman had already chosen to admit defeat from the very beginning.

……

"...That gentleman is really considerate."

After listening to Li's story, even though he understood that the person in front of him was not him, but just a souvenir left by the owner of the scroll, Saga still couldn't help but sigh.

She could naturally tell that the so-called bet made by the woman in this story was just a fear that the girl who had been away from the world for too long would forget how to survive in this world.

Immortals can of course not care about mundane rules, but mortals can't.

Saga hesitated for a while, and finally couldn't help but ask:

"Then the man next to sir..."

Saga was very curious about the other immortal mentioned in Li's mouth.

Because in Li's story, although the immortal was crazy and liked to talk nonsense, in Saga's view, he cared about Li no less than the other immortal who taught him calligraphy and painting.

He made fire to cook, read and write, and told some interesting stories... So for such an immortal who cared about Li, didn't he have any parting gifts after Li left?

In response, Li smiled bitterly.

She shook her head slowly and said no more.

Seeing this, Saga realized that Li's conversation was over, so he also closed his mouth.

She vaguely felt that the man and woman described by the other party seemed a bit familiar... Oh, that's right!

The host grandpa seemed to have told her about them.

……

The abbot at that time was a little younger than Saga now. He was just a novice monk. It was the time when the military governor was visiting the south, and official channels were blocked, so he had to go boating across the river.

Walking into the river, thousands of sails are racing, but you can see a lone boat in the distance, going down the river, as if it does not belong to this vibrant scene.

The little novice monk was curious and followed him.

That Ye Guzhou was neither in a hurry nor in a hurry.The young novice only glanced at the two people on the lone boat from across the boat. It was like looking at the zenith before climbing a mountain, surrounded by clouds and mist.For a moment, he was panicked and almost fell into the water. He breathed and breathed, but was rescued by invisible force.

The woman was gorgeous and silent, while the man was dressed casually and quite talkative.

They took the young novice all the way down the river until they got off the boat at Veshandu and walked towards Huiqi Mountain.

In order to repay the kindness of saving his life, the young novice made firewood and cooked meals for the two of them, carried their bags, chopped thorns, and wore stars and moons all the way.

Women and men never seem to need sleep, but every night when the young novice goes to sleep, he dreams of a past event he has never seen before.After waking up, I forgot about it again, as if it was there or not.

After repeating this process several times, the young novice fell into deep thought, but when he remembered that he had heard many stories about strange people in Great Yan in the past, he felt that during his trip to Great Yan, he might have met the legendary immortal.

"Immortals seem to be no different from mortals."

If it weren't for the aura that the two exuded, the little novice who could communicate with the man normally felt that in addition to sleep and dietary needs, there was also the terrifying power of the two, but it seemed that the difference in thinking was not as big as imagined.

Among mortals, there are some who can lift a thousand pounds and call the wind and rain, while there are also people who have mediocre qualifications and can only do some simple physical work.

There are heavenly masters who know the secrets of prolonging life span, and there are also patients who are suffering from serious diseases and are as fragile as a thin piece of paper.

But no matter how great the difference in strength, wealth, and power, they are still mortals.

So what is the difference between immortals and mortals?

Until one day, the three of them came to a place with beautiful mountains and rivers. The woman felt something and stopped to look at it for several hours.

The man closed his eyes and meditated, which also lasted several hours.

The young novice asked the woman what she was doing, and she said she was drawing a picture of the end of a clumsy mountain.

But the little novice monk didn't see any piece of paper or ink pen in the woman's hand.

The young novice asked the man what he was doing. He said he was feeling the boundary between dead things and living things.

But the little novice felt nothing except that the scenery in front of him was very beautiful.

The little novice monk couldn't help but take a nap. When he suddenly woke up, he found that he was still in the boat on the Kutan River.There is no such thing as the Waishan Ferry, nor are there those two man and woman who look like Yuanyang Immortals.

Only an extra picture scroll appeared in front of my eyes, and a set of Buddhist scriptures appeared in my mind.

……

"Xi, I don't understand why you let her leave. It's impossible for her to get out of the picture you created with all your heart."

"...But she came out."

"Come on, Xi, how much talent and will do you expect from this poor little bastard we picked up at random? Stop making excuses... You let her go on purpose."

"..."

"But why, you obviously like her very much? Didn't you tell me that you wanted to take her as your apprentice? Why did you let her go?"

"...You are overthinking. Although I am a little concerned about her talent in painting, I am not to the point where I want to force her to stay with me."
