Miaohe looked at Lu Yunze's confused eyes, smiled proudly, raised his head, and looked up at the sky that was gradually being coated with a layer of golden light.

White clouds like fish scales floated in the sky, dyed into a gorgeous golden red by the rays of the sun, as if a bright and magnificent flame was beating.

"It's so beautiful." Miaohe said with a smile.

"Since I started practicing Taoism, I have been able to travel to heaven and sea easily, but when was the last time I saw such a beautiful scenery?"

"Ha... I don't even remember." Miao He laughed self-deprecatingly, and his eyes that had been slightly squinted now widened, as if they were trying to reflect the entire sky into his eyes.

Lu Yunze sat on the ruins, in front of Miaohe, and said calmly:

"The sunset happens every day, you just don't look at it."

Miaohe nodded, took a breath and said, "Yes, how long has it been? How long has it been since you looked up at the sunset and the starry sky? How long has it been since you got together with your old friends? How long has it been since you went home?"

"Fellow Taoist, I can't remember clearly. Since I started practicing Taoism, I should have a photographic memory, but I really can't remember clearly."

Miaohe stretched out his hand, picked up a handful of sand from under his feet, and watched it drip from his fingers.

"When I was young, I practiced Taoism for the sake of immortality and freedom. But when I really set foot on this road of immortality, I found no freedom. There were only countless entanglements of interests, intrigues, and struggles for power."

"In the blink of an eye, more than six hundred years passed by in a hurry. Looking back, I found that in this long life of more than six hundred years, there was not a single thing worth recalling."

"Eternal life? Immortal life!"

The corners of Miaohe's mouth raised slightly and he raised his head.

The golden sunlight illuminated his face extremely brightly, and even his flying hair and beard were covered with golden light.

"The world of cultivating immortals is full of entanglements for fame and fortune, and the jungle preys on the strong. All I can do is climb up by any means necessary."

"I thought this was my choice, but now that I think about it, I had no choice at all. The choice I thought was just a path that everyone was forced to take within this fixed framework and rules.

the way."

"I originally thought that being able to become a Nascent Soul monk would mean something. But in fact, it has been more than six hundred years in vain. I have never been happy for a day, and I have never had a moment of freedom."

"Practice, fight, fight for power, grab profits, there is no free moment. Is this what I want? Is this what I choose?"

"What's the point of living so long?"

"I should have stopped and thought carefully about what this life is all about. But fellow Taoist, I don't dare."

"I'm afraid that if I really stop myself, I will be surpassed, I will be stepped on again, and everything I own will disappear in an instant."

"I'm afraid that if I really think about it seriously, I will find that everything I have won by any means over the past six hundred years is just putting layer upon layer of shackles on myself, like a self-inflicted

Animals that tie themselves up."

"So I was really like an animal, just moving forward without thinking about why I was moving forward."

"I'm afraid, I'm afraid that all this really means nothing."

Miaohe talked non-stop, making his saliva fly.

Lu Yunze handed over a bottle of wine, and Miaohe took it without hesitation and drank it all in one gulp.

"It's so fun! It's really fun today! Hahaha..."

Miaohe held the empty wine bottle and looked up to the sky laughing unscrupulously.

"Do whatever you want! Feel free! It feels so good to let go of all worries! So happy!"

"Eternal life and a long life? A free world? I have already lived a free life! One day like this is better than ten six hundred years of spring and autumn!"

"This is what we call living! Hahaha..."

The laughter spread farther and farther through the ruins of Black Rock City, and gradually became deeper, until finally there was only a hollow echo left.

Lu Yunze looked at Miaohe's body in silence. His origin had long been exhausted.

When a person is about to die, his words are good. This is not accurate.

But some things really need to be seen clearly before death.

Lu Yunze just sat on the ruins, looking at Miaohe's body in a daze.

He originally thought this would make him feel better, but now, he only felt endless emptiness.

For Miaohe's sake, and for his own sake.

Whenever this happens, Lu Yunze will be extremely envious of Han Li.

He never seems to have any troubles in this area, and can keep his goals clear and move forward unswervingly.

But Lu Yunze couldn't do it.

There is no doubt that Lu Yunze is a smart person. The biggest problem with smart people is that they tend to think too much.

Trouble emerges from these many unnecessary thoughts, like a disease rooted in the human mind, blocking all people who try to step out of the prison of thinking.

I don’t know how long I thought about it, but the sun in the sky has sunk into the bottom of the sea, and the bright moon and stars gradually fill the sky, like another reflected ocean.

Lu Yunze took a deep breath, put one hand in front of his mouth, and blew a loud whistle.

Countless spider-like puppets as big as a face swarmed in from all directions, surrounding Lu Yunze.

These large spiders, which seemed to be made purely of machinery, raised two sharp front claws, each with a storage bag sandwiched between them.

As far as the eye can see, there are hundreds of them.

"It's a bit too much." Lu Yunze took a deep breath and waved towards the many puppets with one hand.

Suddenly, every spider spit out a white thread into the sky. These threads intertwined in the air and turned into a large white web.

The spiders threw the storage bags into the big web, and they turned into mechanical balls one after another, which were randomly put into the storage bags by Lu Yunze.

"Miaohe...Senior, thank you very much." Lu Yunze saluted Miaohe's body, then put away his storage bag and released a fireball with one hand, turning his body into ashes.

"Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. Immortality? Just a joke."

Lu Yunze grinned and jumped into another sea above his head.

The big net turned into a large net bag and was grabbed by Lu Yunze. Then a huge shadow flew out of Lu Yunze's spirit beast bag.

It was a giant beast that seemed to be made of steel, shaped like a buffalo, nearly ten feet long, with a steel stomach all over its body. At first glance, it looked like an indestructible steel fortress.

Lu Yunze landed on its back, put the net bag behind him, and reached out to pat the terrifying beast under him.

"Let's go back to Mist Island."

The green-armored beast wearing steel armor let out a low roar, stepped on the air with all four hooves, and auspicious clouds grew under its feet, dragging its huge body to roam under the sea of ​​stars.

Lu Yunze was lying on the back of the green-armored beast, with the vast sea of ​​stars in front of him and the sparkling waves beneath him.

The sound of wind, water, waves, and the low roar of beasts from far away from time to time...
