Chapter 39 Death is a Gift
Fu Qingzhou stood still, his whole body stiff and unable to move.

He may have been a little scared, but fear was not the cause of his inability to move.

At this moment, he had a strange feeling... Long Dabei, who was slowly walking out of the stone gate, seemed to have some kind of energy attraction with him.

Long Dabei obviously had the same feeling, and his eyes were always fixed on Fu Qingzhou.

He stepped out of the stone gate... He was a very burly and tall man, with disheveled hair, a strong build, eagle eyes, and sword-like brows. There was an indescribable and very incongruous sense of compassion between his brows.

He was wearing severely moldy and tattered cloth, with a cape made of hay draped over his shoulders, yet he looked like a king walking out of a palace, wearing golden armor and a blood-red cloud on his shoulders... Although he looked to be in his sixties, he gave people the feeling of being in the prime of life.

"I know you."

Long Dabei looked directly into Fu Qingzhou's eyes, with a hint of curiosity and expectation in his eyes: "I know everything you did in Wandu Mountain."

Fu Qingzhou clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and shook his head vigorously to get rid of the feeling of "qi pulling" from his mind: "I couldn't stop them from letting you out... It's fate, it's up to you to kill or chop me up!"

"kill?"

Long Dabei looked at him deeply and shook his head slowly: "I won't kill you. You are very important to me..."

"Very, very important?" Fu Qingzhou was stunned.

"Ah."

Long Dabei nodded solemnly: "With great compassion in his heart and a sinister plot in his body... I, Long Dabei, am so lucky to meet such a perfect successor before I die..."

Fu Qingzhou's brain froze for a second, and then he felt an extremely absurd feeling.

"successor?"

He repeated the word: "You said I am, your, successor?"

A heart full of compassion, but a body full of evil intentions?
Is this the reason why his Qi is connected to mine?

Fu Qingzhou didn't dare to talk to the Smoker at this time, and the Smoker was also surprisingly quiet, probably because he was worried that the other party would see through him.

"We will discuss this later." Long Dabei said calmly, "I promised this person..."

He looked down at the body of Elder Ma, which was only half of its body, and said, "I promised this man that I would eliminate the suffering of the Miao people. You wait here for me and don't move. After I kill all the Miao people, I will come back to find you."

Fu Qingzhou's fingers turned cold as he heard this: "Your way of relieving the Miao people's suffering is to kill them all?!"

"Exactly."

Long Dabei explained earnestly and patiently: "People are born to die, and after going through all kinds of hardships, they will eventually end up in nothingness. This is the great sorrow and suffering in the world. There is only one solution, which is to end their lives and send them to a blissful state where there are no thoughts or desires."

Fu Qingzhou was furious: "What kind of heresy is this! When a person dies, everything is gone!"

"Yeah, nothing is left."

Long Dabei actually smiled softly: "Isn't this good?"

Fu Qingzhou understood...

This is a mental illness.

Long Dabei walked past Fu Qingzhou leisurely with his hands behind his back, and said calmly: "It's not surprising that you don't understand these things now. When I lead you to see the great sorrow and suffering in the world, you will understand my painstaking efforts."

He has actually started to call himself a master?
Only then was Fu Qingzhou finally able to move.

But he would not be so stupid as to attack Long Dabei, it was meaningless, he just sneered: "If it is really like what you said, the most important thing you should do is not to kill people, but to commit suicide!"

Unexpectedly, Long Dabei smiled and said, "That's right. I had intended to kill myself decades ago."

As he spoke, his expression became compassionate: "It's a pity that I think of the millions of people in this world who are struggling and entangled in this purgatory of swords, with all seven emotions and six desires, life and death, separation, fame, wealth, power, sex, love, hate, and hatred... How unfortunate are they?"

"Only I... I am the only one in this world who can free them and help them stay away from all this... Therefore, I cannot die. I will kill everyone in this world."

Long Dabei spoke very calmly, but Fu Qingzhou felt a chill from the top of his head to the soles of his feet.

"Alas, what a pity, thirty years."

Long Dabei walked out of the cave, sighing, "I have missed too much in the past thirty years, and I am getting closer and closer to death. I am no longer able to kill everyone in the world, so I can only look for a successor. God has mercy on me and let me meet you..."

His voice gradually faded away, and he had already left Youzhu Cave. Fu Qingzhou suddenly woke up from his dream, and turned around abruptly.

He knew that he had no ability to stop Long Dabei, and there was no point in chasing him. All he could do was to escape before he returned to capture him, and spread the news of "Long Dabei's birth."

As for Hua Xiaolan, Elder Yu and the others who were half dead outside the cave, would they be killed by Long Dabei...

Fu Qingzhou could only sigh.

Right now, he is powerless.

But at this moment, Long Dabei's slightly surprised voice suddenly came from outside the cave: "It's you?"

Then, a melodious and peaceful middle-aged male voice sounded: "It's too far, and it took too much time on the road...but we finally got there."

Immediately afterwards, there were loud thunder sounds outside the cave, one after another, as if the whole sky was about to explode.

Fu Qingzhou hurried to the cave entrance, but Long Dabi was nowhere to be found.

Following the sound, I looked up at the sky, but saw only two streaks of light in the night distorting the moonlight, like two meteors chasing and colliding with each other in the sky. Every time they touched, there would be thunder.

Fu Qingzhou had no time to take care of these things and hurried to where Kua Ye and the others were before - somehow, Kua Ye had fainted, Hua Xiaolan was still unconscious, but Elder Yu was awake.

At this time, she was leaning weakly against a big bamboo, looking up at the two shooting stars in the sky.

"Elder Yu..."

Fu Qingzhou walked over and sighed, "I'm sorry, I couldn't stop Elder Ma. Although he died, he still released Long Dabei."

"It doesn't matter..."

Elder Yu smiled helplessly: "It's us who failed to hold back Senior Brother and wait for you to come."

Fu Qingzhou looked up at the sky: "What is that?"

"Someone from the imperial court."

Elder Yu said calmly: "The leader of Mingjian Pavilion... second only to one person and above ten thousand people, the sword master is Ning Baimei."

Fu Qingzhou's pupils shrank.

He understood instantly: "In fact, you have already contacted the court, wanting them to help you deal with the traitor? But they didn't show up, and I sent them to the door, so you..."

"Yeah... ahem."

Elder Yu started to cough, and after coughing up several mouthfuls of blood, he continued, "Fortunately, he finally arrived. Ning Baimei is here, and the envoy of Mingjian Pavilion will soon arrive at Wandu Mountain..."

Fu Qingzhou breathed a sigh of relief: "So, everything is fine, right?"

As soon as he asked this question, an extremely terrifying loud noise came from above his head, which was more terrifying than the previous thunder!

After the collision, two muffled groans were heard in the sky, as if both of the two people who fought fiercely were injured.

"Ning Baimei... cough cough..."

Elder Yu said helplessly: "He and Long Dabei are probably just on par with each other... ahem..."

Fu Qingzhou's eyelids twitched slightly.

Under the current situation, Wandu Mountain should indeed be gradually becoming safer, but the same may not be true for me!
Judging from the previous conversation with Long Dabei, he is a complete lunatic. What's more important is that this lunatic wants to capture me as his successor!
He even used words like "God has mercy on me" and "How lucky I am"...

Fu Qingzhou didn't think that Long Dabi would let him go easily.

Elder Yu was also a shrewd man. He could tell at a glance that his expression was different. "Young man, you seem to be hesitant. Wait, why didn't Long Dabei kill you?"

"Alas." Fu Qingzhou smiled bitterly: "It's hard to explain this. Anyway, I have to hide first and don't let Long Dabei find me. If you are fine later, I will come back to find you to remove the curse, okay?"

"sure."

Elder Yu responded, then started coughing heavily again, coughing up a large amount of blood from his chest.

Seeing her like this, Fu Qingzhou felt a little hesitant to move. It was not until Elder Yu waved his hand and said "It's okay" that he sighed and left alone.
