The author of the book "The Book of the Dead"

Chapter 243 Traces of Descendants, Immortal Trails on Divine Mountains

"Traveler?"

Liang Yue couldn't help but wonder what purpose Changming might have in summoning this group of Earthlings.
Perhaps they have also realized the true nature of cultivation in this world. Since it is inconvenient for them to show themselves, they want the people of Earth to step forward and change this world.

"The idea is good, but there are too few people."

Liang Yue shook his head helplessly. He guessed that they hadn't expected so few people to come. If there had been three thousand Earthlings, in the competitive environment of Earth, perhaps a genius who would change the times or a backbone of reform would have emerged.

"Very well, let me lend you a hand."

Liang Yue sensed the water and fire eyes inside the Heaven-Turning Seal, as well as the pyramid not far away, and suddenly had some clues in his mind.

He seemed to know where Changming and the others were.

……

As the morning mist dissipates, the golden sun in the east evaporates the dew from the green leaves.

The group fled the jungle in a disheveled state, their hair and faces dirty, looking like refugees fleeing a disaster.

Two of the twenty-two were missing, and some people looked fearfully at Li Tuo at the front of the group.

Li Tuo was still in shock. Last night, his two companions sneaked into the cave where the girl lived with the intention of committing a crime.

During his fight with the two men, he accidentally killed them both.

After the incident, instead of gratitude, people became wary and distant, fearing that Li Tuo's murder would implicate them.

Apart from Fatty Heng, everyone else stayed with Liu Hui, the rich second-generation.

Liu Hui, no longer as arrogant as before, looked at Li Tuo with apprehension and said, "Classmate, if you run into the police on the way down the mountain, you must tell them the truth."

"You bastard, are you scared of taking responsibility now? Who was shouting so loudly before?"

Fatty Heng couldn't stand it anymore and started cursing.

Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to refute.

They were in the wrong in this matter, but since someone died, they were afraid to take responsibility.

If it's not a case of time travel, they might face legal consequences.

Li Tuo put his hand on Fatty Heng's shoulder, signaling that he didn't need to speak, then looked at everyone and said:
“I’m responsible for my own actions, but I hope the people involved can testify for me when the time comes.” Li Tuo looked at the girls and said again, “If I can kill two people, I can certainly kill a few more.”

"sure."

One group of people, two different thoughts.

Until a thatched hut appeared ahead.

The thatched house was surrounded by a fence, and the vegetables and fruits planted in the courtyard were lush and full.

"Someone!!"

"Great!"

The crowd rushed forward, and the courtyard gate was wide open. Sitting on a stone chair in the courtyard was a Taoist priest in white robes. The priest had fair skin and a handsome appearance.

Regardless of gender, everyone who saw this person for the first time felt that he was extraordinary.

"Come in," Liang Yue said gently, looking at everyone.

"Thank you, sir."

The crowd filed in, and some people immediately relaxed and plopped down on the ground.

"Sir, may I ask what era this is?" Seeing Liang Yue's ancient costume, everyone felt something was amiss.

"What era? The fifty-fifth year of Emperor Yuanhuang of the Jade Kingdom, what's wrong?" Liang Yue said casually.

"Jade Kingdom, the fifty-fifth year of Emperor Yuan..."

The crowd looked at each other, some feeling utterly hopeless, while others felt that a new era had arrived.

"You don't look like locals. Where are you from?"

Liang Yue brewed a pot of tea and, feigning ignorance, inquired about it.

"us……"

Li Tuo quickly interjected, saying, "We come from Peach Blossom Spring."

"Peach Blossom Spring?"

“That’s right. Peach Blossom Spring is isolated from the outside world and doesn’t concern itself with worldly affairs, so we don’t know what’s going on outside.” Li Tuo spoke in difficult classical Chinese.

"I see." Liang Yue smiled strangely and changed the subject, "Have you all eaten? Why don't you stay and have some simple food?"

"We haven't eaten yet, come on, everyone, let's get to work." Everyone picked fruit and washed vegetables, dividing the tasks and cooperating, seemingly forgetting the unpleasantness of the day.

Only occasionally do some girls think of their hometown and burst into tears.

The banquet began, and everyone enjoyed the food.

Hidden among the ingredients is the moonlight of the Jade Pool, cleansing the bodies and meridians of everyone.

For Liang Yue now, creating a few geniuses at will is not a difficult task.

Unexpectedly, Li Tuo had the bloodline of the Three-Eyed One, and there was another playboy named Liu Hui, who had the bloodline of the Giant Spirit God of Zhao Kuangyin.

"Not bad, worth nurturing."

However, this Liu Hui seems to have some ulterior motives and still needs to be tested further.

After the banquet, Liang Yue dismissed the guests, saying, "There are many tigers and leopards on the mountain, so you should all go down the mountain as soon as possible."

"There are two roads at the foot of the mountain. The left one leads to a mysterious immortal mountain and the supreme path to immortality."

"On the right, one returns to simplicity and seclusion in the mortal world."

Liang Yue pointed to the fork in the road ahead.

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a piercing howl echoed from the clouds in the sky.

When everyone looked up, they saw a strange three-headed bird flying overhead.

Wherever the strange bird went, it was accompanied by earth-shattering flames.

At this moment, everyone realized that this place was not an ordinary world.

For a moment, the crowd became somewhat chaotic.

Which of these two main roads leads to the right path?
"Sir, may I ask...?"

Just as some people were about to ask, Liang Yue shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.

Everyone felt lost and confused. Who doesn't dream of cultivating immortality? But when faced with the reality, they were like Lord Ye who loved dragons but was terrified of them.

The path of cultivating immortality is unrestrained, carefree, and extremely elegant, but it also carries the risk of being reduced to ashes at any moment.

They may not be able to overcome this danger.

At this moment, Liu Hui strode forward, full of confidence, embarking on the path of cultivation.

He had a smooth life since childhood, with nothing going wrong, and firmly believed that this time-travel journey was his own destiny.

The remaining seven whispered among themselves, seemingly having made a decision, and resolutely embarked on the path of cultivation.

“Sir, we’d better stop this,” said the only middle-aged couple among the group.

They don't want to struggle anymore; at this age, there's no point in striving any further.

"Goodbye."

Liang Yue gave the two of them a deep look and watched them leave.

In reality, there was no road at all. The road that Liu Hui and the others were heading towards was a teleportation array. They would be teleported to places like Xiniu Hezhou and Nanzhanbuzhou, where demons, immortals, and gods gathered.

These people have a solid foundation, so becoming a child prodigy shouldn't be a problem. The rest depends on their own abilities.

As for the other path in the mortal world, it's even simpler. Xuanling will provide them with a mansion, fertile land, and shops, so they can live a peaceful and stable life. After being cleansed by the moonlight, the couple might even be able to have a few children.

Liang Yue looked at the remaining nine people.

"what about you?"

These people seemed to trust Li Tuo, so they stayed by his side.

Li Tuo stepped forward and said, "We don't choose anything else; we wish to stay by your side, sir."

That's right, this is the path Li Tuo had in mind.

He intuitively felt that this person must be extraordinary, after all, it would be impossible for someone who cultivates in the deep mountains and forests to be without some skill.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Good, you all have great comprehension."

Liang Yue smiled slightly, and in an instant, the stars shifted and the world changed.

The crowd found themselves in a fairyland, with cranes soaring, dragons and phoenixes dancing, and the majestic golden palace shining brightly.

(A black mole suddenly appeared on my ear, and it became inflamed and grew larger. I'm planning to go to the hospital for a checkup, and I'm a little anxious.)
