A life of clearness

Chapter 666 Carrying
The light boat drifted in the sea of ​​suffering. In the endless darkness, the man in white kneeling on the bow was the only bright color in the world.

"It's going to rain." Ruan Tao lifted the curtain and walked out of the cabin. She opened a black umbrella and covered Yuan Cheng's head. It was a large black umbrella, more than enough to cover the two of them.

As Ruan Tao said, "raindrops" fell almost immediately. Not only would it rain when the cultivators fell from the sea of ​​suffering, but also when the sea of ​​suffering was in operation, water vapor would evaporate and condense into rain clouds. When it gathered to a certain amount, it would turn into water and return to the sea.

The big black umbrella in Ruan Tao's hand was a spiritual treasure that no one knew where it came from. It was extremely sturdy in the rain. The sticky black rain water flowed down the umbrella surface and formed strings of water that poured down on Ruan Tao and Yuan Cheng.

The black liquid should have submerged Yuan Cheng's snow-white clothes and devoured his body, but it seemed to have gained consciousness and struggled to escape, forming a strange vacuum zone around Yuan Cheng.

Even without Ruan Tao holding an umbrella for him, the black rain could not hurt him at all. This was why Yuan Cheng dared to walk out of the cabin alone, and he even had a vague premonition that he could travel freely in this sea of ​​suffering.

In that case, it’s time to find Yu Rong.

As if he had guessed what Yuan Cheng was thinking, Ruan Tao said, "Ku Hai is passing through Guixu Heaven now. If you want to meet up with her, this might not be a good time."

She lowered her eyes and looked at Yuan Cheng with a very gentle gaze.

"Guixu Heaven is different from Beitian. There are quite a few innate lives living here. Some of them have even created their own schools and have countless disciples. Stranded in the sea of ​​suffering, everyone from the lowest level to the highest level wants to hone themselves and even seize the most precious treasure. It was originally a pool of still water, but after it was stirred up, all the mud and sand came up. However, the competition among many schools is a good opportunity to fish in troubled waters. Your sweetheart has many opportunities. I think he is ambitious to show his skills now. I'm afraid he is not looking forward to your appearance."

"I know you are thinking about me, but..." Yuan Cheng stood up and looked up at Ruan Tao. She was really tall. Even though Yuan Cheng was tall and slender among men, he still had to look up at her. "This is such an unfamiliar place, and I am here in my physical body. I am really worried about her fighting alone. As for the opportunity, it depends on fate. If it is destined, it will happen. If it is not destined, I will not force it."

"Fate?" Ruan Tao repeated the word and smiled softly as if he found it very interesting. "If that's the case, come with me. I'll show you something." After saying that, he put away his umbrella, bent down and walked into the cabin.

Yuan Cheng's expression was slightly condensed. The identity of the gray-robed woman was strange, and he even guessed that she was from the East Sky Demon Clan, but for some reason, he didn't have much strong fear. And this was the most terrifying thing. He wanted to leave the ship, not only because of Rong Qing, but also because he wanted to stay away from Ruan Tao.

Yuan Cheng stared at the dark blue curtain. A simple curtain without any pattern or decoration separated the inside and outside of the boat, creating a small and secret world. When he lifted the curtain, he was probably like a person outside a well staring at the deep well mouth, staring at a secret that had been hidden in the darkness for a long time.

Is this right? Is this the secret to seeing the light?

Yuan Cheng recalled some fragmented memories from his childhood: he could not see light or darkness, and all he had was endless emptiness and loneliness. There was a man's gentle voice speaking to him, but the words had long been blurred to the point that not even a single word had disappeared. He only felt that he was extremely familiar with and attached to that man.

But he couldn't find that person, and he didn't even know if the other person really existed.

As he grew up, these seemingly illusory memories sank to the deepest part of his mind and he never told anyone about them.

Yuan Cheng did have some guesses about this. If he was the reincarnation of some powerful being, then the man in his memory might be a very important existence. He was still waiting for Yuan Cheng to come back.

Yuan Cheng didn't know how others would choose when faced with this situation, but he had a smooth life. Not only was he of noble status and gifted, he was also deeply blessed by Beitian. Why should he trace back to his past life and bear the consequences of that past life!

"Yuan Cheng, you don't dare to come in, right?" Ruan Tao's calm voice came from across the curtain, "Have you ever thought about why your master wanted us to meet?"

Lord Futu is in charge of this re-election. It would be a huge joke if the Dongtian Demon Clan was allowed to sneak in, unless this was the Lord's work.

Who dares to defy the will of the Buddha Lord? Who can defy it?

The dark blue curtain was opened and then closed.

"Look at her, does she look familiar to you?"

The drawer of the low cabinet was opened, revealing a pile of brocade and a skinny baby girl wrapped in silk.

Yuan Cheng frowned slightly: "Who is it?"

The first time he saw the baby girl, Yuan Cheng had an indescribable strange feeling. Even when he saw the baby girl lying in the drawer, his sunken and vague memories gradually surfaced, as if he had had a similar experience in his previous life.

"This child is the same kind as you." Ruan Tao raised her hand and gently touched the baby girl's face, but she separated immediately because she knew the great pain the baby girl was enduring.

"I happened to meet her when I was traveling. Her biological father treated her badly, so I killed that beast and snatched her away."

"It is not a natural alien species like innate life, but a product of humans and demons." Yuan Cheng lowered his eyes and then looked at Ruan Tao, "It is not tolerated by the demons, and is also hated by the human race."

This was not something the baby girl could choose, but something she was born to bear. "You are right. You should be familiar with the battle in the Cangxue Realm. Her mother is a cultivator from the Cangxue Realm."

If the disputes in other small realms in the North Sky were just minor fights, then the battle in the Cangxue Realm was the real prelude to the melee between the two great immortal realms of the North Sky and the East Sky. Two Dao Masters of the human race died alone. The Cangxue Realm, where the battle broke out, had long been shaken into nothingness by the aftermath of the battle between the great powers, and the space where it was originally located had now collapsed into a Jedi.

Once the war begins, no one can stop it easily. Many immortal masters and Taoist masters are eyeing this ownerless immortal tiger. Those below the Taoist master level are just ants who are involved in it and cannot help themselves. Unless, like the Buddha Master back then, he breaks through at an incredible speed and defeats many immortal masters to achieve the position of the master. The long-established immortal masters retreated one by one or even died, and the Dongchen Master was forced to retreat back to Dongtian.

"She was about to die, and her only wish was to see her mother." Ruan Tao sighed, "I couldn't bear to see her sad, so I sent her on her way."

Yuan Cheng thought, would her mother be willing to see her? Wouldn't she hate her when she saw her?
"The Cangxue Realm no longer exists, and all the original cultivators have died. Who is her mother?"

Not only did he survive, but he also lived this long, outlasting several Supremes. He must not be an unknown person.

"She is just a little monk who has reached the third stage of decline. We are not going to see her in person, but a fragment of her soul that was left in the secret realm by chance. Humph, if your master had not completely controlled Beitian, who would have known that she still had a fragment of her soul left in the world."

"Senior, the deceased may not want to care about worldly affairs anymore." Yuan Cheng was seriously trying to stop the demon princess who was domineering and had her way with what she said, but Ruan Tao just smiled.

"I want to fulfill this child's wish, even Chang Ming can't stop me. What's more," Ruan Tao's smile deepened, "Do you think you are stopping something that hasn't happened? I have already sent this child to Beitian. Yuan Cheng, we are on the way to Beitian, not now but... Beitian in the second era."

……

"Who is she?" Rong Qing unfolded the scroll in her hand. The woman's profile in the scroll was peaceful and tranquil.

"This joke is not funny at all." Tan Tai Yu Xiu tilted her head, "Or do you just not trust me?"

Tan Tai Yuxiu would rather believe that this was Rong Qing's test than believe that Rong Qing had really forgotten Zhong Xiu.

It's interesting that I dare to board her boat even though I don't believe her.

"Should I believe you?" Rong Qing asked back.

The person in front of him was wearing a soft and loose black brocade robe, with all the exposed skin wrapped in plain bandages. He wore a large hairpin feather hood on his head, with fine gauze and pearls hanging from the brim.

There is undisguised joy in those black and white eyes.

Rong Qing felt strange at first. She originally just wanted to listen to the thoughts of the monks on the battlefield, but she didn't expect to hear words coming from far away. A slightly hoarse female voice told Rong Qing to open the scroll and get on her boat if she wanted to know how to revive the woman in the painting.

The appearance of the woman in the painting made Rong Qing feel both strange and familiar. However, Rong Qing was unwilling to ride on the same boat with Ruan Tao again. Changing boats seemed to be an opportunity to break the deadlock.

"Of course I have to believe it. We are in the same boat. You told me that if I want to gain your trust quickly, I should just tell you about Zhong Xiu." Tan Tai Yu Xiu touched his chin. The bandage on his fingertips was slightly black and had broken edges.

"You said the method to revive Zhong Xiu..."

"That's fake." Tan Tai Yu Xiu interrupted Rong Qing bluntly, "I haven't found a way, and neither have you. I don't dare to run to Ruan Tao's ship to snatch you, so I have to resort to this desperate measure to make you come to me voluntarily."

Rong Qing said nothing, but quietly rolled up the scroll and put it into her sleeve.

"Oh, don't be sad," Tan Tai Yu Xiu leaned forward with one hand on her waist, "I didn't mean to mention Zhong Xiu. It's just that this is the first time you see me. But I have known you for a long, long time."

"How long is a long, long time?"

"It's really hard to calculate. It probably has to be counted from the fall of Taishang Wushi to the end of the world. Oh, by the way, you probably don't know my name yet. My surname is Tantai, and my family has the character 'Yu' in the first generation. My name is Yuxiu."

"Tan Tai Yu Xiu." Rong Qing murmured.

"It's down."
