He wanted her to save Xu Xian ten years later?
Bai Suzhen used one thousand and seven hundred years to cultivate to her current realm, and Ao Gan actually said that in these ten years, her strength could increase by twofold. This was simply unbelievable. She was pursuing the cultivation method of the dragon race, but she did not expect it to have such a miraculous effect.
In reality, she did not know what effect this thing would have, and the Candle Dragon was only a legend.
Ao Li tugged at Ao Gan's sleeve and said, "No way, grandfather, wouldn't we not be able to see Xu Xian?"
Ao Gan patted Ao Li's head and said, "What's the rush, ten years is very short.
That brat can live for a thousand or eight hundred years without a problem. "
Bai Suzhen was stunned. That's right, Ao Gan might have calculated the current situation, but he misjudged the meaning of ten years to Xu Xian and her.
If it was in the past, she would be the same as Ao Gan, feeling that ten years was very short, so short that it was just meditating once, or letting the mountain flowers bloom ten times, letting the mountain fruits ripen ten times.
But at this moment, she could understand what these ten years carried, how much laughter and tears, how much happiness and bitterness.
He could no longer casually say that it was only ten years.
Ten years with you and ten years without you, it would not be the same.
Bai Suzhen took a step forward and said, "Lord Ao Gan!" The words were at the tip of her mouth, but she could not continue. The young Ao Li still needed his care!
Ao Li's dream could only be realized through his hands, so she could not say such a request.
She could only say, "I will leave Ao Li to you, Bai Suzhen will take her leave now." She bowed and turned to leave.
Ao Li was stunned and said, "Big Sister Bai." She still did not understand what had happened.
Bai Suzhen looked back and smiled, "Goodbye, Ao Li." Then she turned to look at the horizon and took a deep breath.
Ao Gan frowned and said, "You still want to go now?"
Bai Suzhen bit her lips and said, "Can't Lord Ao Gan divine it?" As soon as the words came out, she felt that she sounded like a resentful woman.
In reality, what she gained was indeed more than what she paid.
But some things could not be lost, even if she used what she already had as an exchange.
Ao Gan frowned and said, "Whether it is the River Diagram or the Book of Luo, or what I just gave you, any one of them cannot be exchanged for a hundred years by others."
Ao Gan said, "So, Bai Suzhen does not dare to blame Lord Ao Suzhen." So Su Suzhen does not dare to blame Ao Gan. "So, I thank Ao Ao Ao Ao Gan for your kindness."
Ao Gan said, "Then why don't you make a smarter decision? If you go now, you'll only be walking into a trap, and it won't help the situation."
No matter what, I have to go with him.
Oh, right, we are about to get married. I hope I can invite Ao Gan, Lord Ao Xian. "Then, she flew away. Her long sleeves fluttered in the air. Like a fairy, she disappeared into the horizon.
Ao Li called out to Bai Suzhen, then said to Bai Suzhen, "Grandpa, you should go and save Xu Xian now, ten years is really a long time!"
The river wind blew. Ao Gan looked at Ao Li with a deep gaze. Ten years, the last ten years!
This is the greatest support I can give you.
Maybe it is time for you to know.
After listening to Ao Gan's narration, Ao Li felt like she was punched in the chest. She took a step back and widened her eyes in shock, "Impossible, how can grandpa die?" She had already lost her father and mother. Was she going to lose her grandpa as well?
Ao Gan caressed Ao Li's head and smiled, "Don't worry about it. Life and death cycle, it is very natural.
But, you have to make good use of these ten years. "
At this time, the morning sun rose. The red morning light spread over the surging river and was abnormally dazzling.
Immortality was probably an illusion that every living being had when they were young and vigorous.
They felt that the days would repeat like this, day after day, never stopping. Only when time passed would they understand that an illusion was just an illusion.
Ao Li grabbed Ao Gan's large hand and shouted, "No, it can't be. Grandpa won't die. Grandpa, say it, you won't die."
Tears welled up in her eyes and her voice gradually became softer. Unable to meet Ao Gan's gaze, she lowered her head and her small shoulders trembled. She wanted to suppress something and finally couldn't help but throw herself into Ao Gan's arms and cry bitterly.
Ao Gan reprimanded, "What are you crying for?
Did I teach you to cry? "He couldn't bear it in his heart.
Ao Li shook her head, but her tears couldn't stop falling. She finally understood why Grandpa sent her to West Lake, why he forced her to take Xu Xian as her master, and why she had to die.
After a long while, Ao Li's sobs gradually subsided. Ao Gan said, "From today onwards, you don't need to go anywhere else. Cultivate well in the river. In a few years, Grandpa will slowly transfer the Yangtze River's water vein to you. At that time, no matter who attacks, you will have the power to fight."
Ao Gan's current survival was mostly dependent on this river's water. If he transferred the water vein to Ao Li, it was no different from damaging his own lifespan.
However, Ao Li raised her head and shook it, saying, "No, Grandpa, I want to find Sister Bai, go find Xu Xian." Her beautiful eyes revealed a kind of determination through the hazy tears, reflecting the bright red morning glow.
Ao Gan frowned and said, "Because of Xu Xian?"
"Yes."
Ao Li shook her head and said, "When I went to West Lake, didn't Grandpa say that I should work hard alone?"
She placed her hand on her chest and said, "Grandpa, I did it. Not only did I rely on Sister Bai and Xu Xian, I also relied on myself.
I already have a lot of things now. I can't hide in the river anymore. I don't want to rely on Grandpa anymore. Grandpa, don't worry, I will walk my own path.
Regardless of success or failure, I just want to try. "At least she could use herself to replace him!
Ao Li raised her right hand and extended her little finger.
Ao Gan was stunned, but then he heard Ao Li say, "It's the way Xu Xian taught me to make an agreement. Let's make an agreement!
No matter what the result is, Grandpa must not come.
If Grandpa comes, it will be meaningless. "
Ao Gan suddenly burst into laughter, his laughter rolling and echoing on the river surface.
"Looks like I'm really old, actually always thinking of shortcuts. You're already a real dragon, I can be at ease without having to point fingers at you.
That old turtle provoked me time and time again, I've long wanted to teach him a lesson. It's just that I wanted to hold on for a few more years for you, so I let him go. Now is the perfect opportunity. "
Ao Li said anxiously, "Grandpa!
You can't, your body. "
Ao Gan pressed his hand on Ao Li's shoulder, "Use your own way to obtain the Yangtze River, and even the Yellow River!
Now Grandpa also has to walk his own path. "
How proud was he? How could he tolerate Fa Yuan's repeated provocations and not make a move. It was just for Ao Li.
He, Ao Gan, gave that piece of tortoise shell and the spirit pearl that was carved out from it to Xu Xian, planning to transfer it to Fa Yuan and let him recover all his mana. He didn't want to take advantage of him and fight him to the death when he was about to die.
Now that Ao Li had spoken these words, it caused him to feel extremely gratified. He already believed that even if he wasn't here, Ao Li would surely be able to realize her dreams in her own way.
Ao Gan looked to the southeast, took off his bamboo hat and woven rush raincoat, his body emitting a monstrous fighting spirit.
Now, he could finally put down his burdens and go all out.
The river surged, the lake was vast, the white waves crashing, the wind rising and the clouds scudding.
… …
Cold Mountain Temple. Fa Yuan sat quietly, his heart in turmoil.
He could already feel the fighting spirit coming from the north, the impending battle.
To be honest, even if he retrieved the tortoise shell, he didn't have much confidence in defeating Ao Gan.
But this battle had to be fought. This was also his pride.
A monk pushed open the door and entered, saying, "Abbot, there is a Benefactor Bai outside requesting an audience."
Fa Yuan frowned, "Benefactor Bai?
Have Jueyuan receive her. "
Then he remembered that Jueyuan was in confinement, so he said, "Have her wait in the side room. Have Jueyuan come see me." It wasn't that he couldn't understand his disciple's intentions.
Jueyuan came to the abbot's room and said, "Master, disciple is here."
Fa Yuan waved his hand, and a Seven Treasures Buddhist Staff flew out from the cabinet. There was a layer of golden misty light flowing on it, undulating like a living creature. The golden rings rang, light and sweet, but also faintly discernible, as if the morning bells and evening drums of the Cold Mountain Temple for thousands of years were contained in it.
The staff floated in front of Jueyuan.
"This Seven Treasures Buddhist Staff was bestowed by my master, the Buddha of the West. It doesn't have much use in battle, but it can calm the mind and ward off external demons. It is a first-class Buddhist treasure.
I will pass it to you now.
You have always been in charge of Cold Mountain Temple, inside and out. You are even more familiar with it than I am. From now on, you will be the abbot of Cold Mountain Temple. "
Jueyuan's expression changed. He fell to his knees and pressed his head against the stone floor. "Master, have you forgotten your ambition to travel the four seas?" This was something that Fa Yuan often talked about. He wanted to use this to move Fa Yuan.
Fa Yuan's gaze suddenly became misty, as if he was looking at the boundless ocean through the wall. A yearning expression appeared on his face, but he finally retracted his gaze, sighed and said, "Nine out of ten people don't live their lives as they wish. Even though we have great supernatural powers, we are not immune.
Moreover, who knows what kind of world is beyond the four seas?
Who knows, it might just be a piece of seawater. It might not be worth my attention.
Quickly receive the staff, I will announce you as the new abbot. "
Jueyuan closed his eyes, "Disciple does not dare. Master, please take back your order."
Fa Yuan knew that his disciple's temperament was as stubborn as his, so he didn't force him. He said, "Go and call Xu Xian to come out and meet with Bai Suzhen!
However, he is not allowed to leave Cold Mountain Temple for the time being. "He closed his eyes again.
Jueyuan knew that persuading him was useless, so he retreated. He first knelt to the He and He Immortals in the main hall. "You two are my master's good friends, please persuade him." The He and He Immortals, who were always cheerful and crazy, looked at each other and could only smile bitterly.
At their level of cultivation, their minds were firm and determined. They were immune to external demons. How could they be swayed by words?
Although Jueyuan knew it was useless, he couldn't help but sigh in disappointment.
At this time, who else could stop this meaningless battle?!
