Chapter 5: The Road to Heaven
Gu Changsheng tied the spring breeze in his hand behind his back and bowed in the direction of the stone tablet and the fairy mountain.
Immediately, he took one step forward and stood on the ladder in Tianji Pavilion that symbolized the way to heaven.
Gu Changsheng's surrounding environment changed instantly and he came outside a small wooden house next to a fairy temple.
This is where he lived since childhood.
The cabin is very new, and the snow in front of the door has still been swept clean.
A young boy who looked very young walked out of the wooden house with a broom and braved the cold wind towards the temple of gods not far away.
Gu Changsheng knew that it was his childhood self.
Is this a magical method?
If you climb a mountain road, you can go back a few years ago?
Gu Changsheng took steps to follow.
Only screams were heard coming from the Immortal Temple, and the young Gu Changsheng was looking into the Immortal Temple in horror.
Gu Changsheng moved his gaze to the Temple of the Immortals, and saw several masked men in the Temple of the Immortals using knives to slaughter a family who came to offer incense.
Even the children were not spared, and a family of five were all lying in a pool of blood.
"Boss, there is another one." A thin, masked man was the first to spot Gu Changsheng in his teenage years and rushed up instantly.
The young man who had not yet experienced the world had no time to react before he was caught by the thin man and taken to the temple.
The tall man who was the leader of the three masked men brutally cut open the belly of the woman in the family with a knife and took out a bloody pill.
"If you hand over the God-Gathering Pill properly, everything will be fine. I have to take action."
The young man spat it out with a vomiting sound.
The tall man wiped the blood on the elixir and looked at the vomiting child with a grin.
"Have you never seen blood?" The tall man put the wiped elixir into his arms, picked up the knife next to him, and scratched the young man's young face with the tip of the knife still stained with fresh blood.
The boy who smelled the strong smell of blood was about to vomit again. He frantically wiped the blood from his face, and tears suddenly flowed from his eyes.
"Hahaha." The tall man seemed to be in a good mood after receiving the elixir, and did not kill the poor child in front of him.
He asked the two people next to him to plunder the family's belongings, and then he knelt down and touched the young man's head kindly.
"Go, help me find a place to bury the bodies of those people."
The young man trembled suddenly and looked blankly at the corpses scattered in the pool of blood.
Before leaving, the tall man looked mockingly at the majestic clay statue behind him.
Fairy? How ridiculous!
The young man also raised his head and looked at the statue, but his expression no longer had any brilliance.
Gu Changsheng looked at all this indifferently, looking at the young man in front of him whose expression was gradually becoming dull, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.
In an instant, the scene in front of Gu Changsheng changed again.
This time we came to an alley, where several children in luxurious clothes were bullying a dirty little beggar.
They kicked over the little beggar who had worked so hard to pick up the food, and then punched and kicked him.
The little beggar didn't cry, he just bent over and huddled in the corner.
Even if there is blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, even if he is viciously insulted by them.
Seeing that the results they wanted could not be achieved, the luxuriously dressed children viciously kicked the little beggar.
The little beggar spat out a large mouthful of blood, and his curled up body became even more tense and trembling.
The child who bullied the little beggar asked for help and left, but the little beggar still held his knees tightly with his hands and huddled there.
After a while, heartbreaking cries came from the alley.
While wiping away his uncontrollable tears, the little beggar picked up the food that had been spilled on the floor and put it back into the rotten bowl with a hole in it, and ate it with big mouthfuls.
Tears, soil, and blood were mixed in the food, and the little beggar devoured it.
Gu Changsheng was speechless, but felt a little heartbroken.
Then came scene after scene, all of which were Gu Changsheng's memories of himself as a child.
Gu Changsheng has long been indifferent and abnormal. Even if it is those painful memories, Gu Changsheng has never chosen to escape.
He just watched everything happen in silence, as if the protagonist in those scenes was not himself.
...
On the top of the Immortal Mountain, sitting on a huge rock, was an old man with disheveled hair but an air of immortality.
Behind the old man stood a young man dressed in white as snow and holding a feather fan.
It was Song Ji and his master, the master of Tianji Pavilion, Shangqing, one of the ten supreme sects.
"Gu Changsheng, what a good name."
The old man from Shangqing was fishing on the top of the mountains with a slender fishing rod in his hand, and said calmly.
Song Ji nodded, but still looked at the foot of the mountain.
I saw the old man Shangqing suddenly lift the fishing rod, and a flash of light was caught in the palm of the hand by the old man Shangqing.
Song Ji turned around to look, and his pupils suddenly shrank.
That was the time when Lin Zhushui, the lord of Linzhou City, lived.
The old man Shangqing had a dull look on his face, and he firmly grasped the ball of light in his hand, trying to break free.
"If you give him a hundred years of life, you can teach him a lesson."
Heavenly secrets were flowing around the old man Shangqing, and a mighty force of heaven condensed and formed in the sky above him and pressed down violently.
If you change the life span of others at will, you will naturally be punished by heaven.
The feather fan in Song Ji's hand flew out instantly and floated above the head of the old man Shangqing, absorbing all the falling power of heaven.
"This Tiandao Fan still looks good. I'll look for an opportunity for my teacher later on to feed you this guy."
Song Ji was shocked and raised his hand to take back the Tiandao Fan.
"Oh, it looks like this little guy has a good heart and he's going to come out soon."
The old man Shangqing casually crushed the ball of light in his palm, and the ball of light representing a hundred years completely dissolved into the world.
"Go to the mountain gate to greet you, Ji'er." Old man Shangqing said with a smile.
Song Ji nodded, jumped off the boulder and left.
At this time, another slightly rickety figure appeared beside the old man Shangqing.
The old man in Shangqing didn't even look back, he was minding his own business and threw the fishing rod down into the world.
"The person you were waiting for is here."
...
At this time, in Linzhou City's palace, Lin Zhushui was sitting in his study, gasping for air. His originally still young appearance turned old and haggard in an instant.
who is it?
Lin Zhushui was horrified and looked ferocious, but he did not dare to say a word.
...
When Gu Changsheng opened his eyes again, he was already back on the ladder of the Fairy Mountain.
Unconsciously, Gu Changsheng was standing at the end of the ladder.
In front of him is a gate made entirely of snow-white jade. There is nothing except the jade gate.
At this time, the door suddenly opened, and a smiling Song Ji walked out, fanning his feather fan.
"Master called me to pick you up." Song Ji looked at Gu Changsheng, who had just come out of the painful memories, with curiosity in his heart.
I wonder what Gu Changsheng went through to be praised by his master.
Even if you have a good character, it is extremely rare.
Gu Changsheng also smiled and nodded in response.
Then he followed Song Ji into the white jade gate.
As soon as he stepped through the white jade gate, Gu Changsheng realized how little he knew.
Inside the white jade gate is the real Tianji Pavilion.
Gu Changsheng stood on the stairs leading to the main peak. Countless palaces and jade buildings stood on the tops of the mountains next to the main peak. Many disciples of Tianji Pavilion were walking between the peaks.
On top of the main peak stands a large hall that towers into the sky. On the main entrance of the hall hangs a gilt plaque with three large characters written on it.
