Chapter 106: Thoughts reach the sky, heroic souls return home
The sky is silent, and the immortals are invisible.
No one answered Li Yuan's question.
For Li Yuan, these dead souls were all Anyue’s brave soldiers and the mortals he protected.
It is my responsibility to help them.
But to other immortals and gods, these are just a group of dead souls with deep obsessions.
Even above the second heaven, there were many immortals and gods watching.
Fire fell from the sky, burning the incense sticks and merits, and it happened right in this area.
The immortals and gods were very curious and also found it very amusing.
This ignorant young god will eventually bring about his own death.
I'm just a mortal, why should I be moved?
It really is below the standard of immortals and gods.
Among the immortals who were leisurely eating melons, a neatly dressed man with long hair and beard stared at Li Yuan on the ground with his eyes slightly narrowed.
"Yamabu Jade Commander, isn't this the little god you want to report to the higher authorities?"
There were some rather leisurely immortals joking around.
The man called the Jade Envoy snorted coldly: "A naughty and unruly god who has been in office for more than a hundred years and has never written a record of merit and incense."
"I will strip this immortal god of his position after I write the Jade Order, even though he neglects his duties so much!"
The immortal god who was joking had a playful look on his face:
"Could it be that the Jade Order did not inform the Hundred Mountain Festival?"
Yu Lingshi's eyes flickered a few times and his expression was obviously a little unnatural.
"I will report it of course!"
"I think Lord Baishanji will not tolerate such a bad god ruining the reputation of the Heavenly Court."
The immortal let out a long "oh" and smiled meaningfully.
After the Conference of Ten Thousand Immortals, the Lord of Ten Thousand Mountains was furious. The Mountain Tribe conducted a thorough investigation, and other tribes in Heaven were also in a state of panic.
Many immortals and gods were implicated, but none of them went down to the mortal world to avenge Li Yuan because they were afraid of being discovered by the big boss.
Now that more than a hundred years have passed, the supervision of the great masters has been relaxed a lot.
Yu Ling sneered in his heart:
"Report to the higher-ups? The incident at the Ten Thousand Immortals Conference stripped me of my thousand-year salary! If I don't kill him quickly, I'm afraid there will be more trouble in the future!"
"Anyway, whether it's the Hundred Mountain Festival or the Thousand Mountain Lords, or the various departments in the Heavenly Court, big and small immortals and gods, who doesn't make money......"
"Write a new jade order as soon as possible and kill this guy. Maybe within a hundred years, I can make some money in Anshan again..."
Envoy Yuling still looked unhappy, as if he couldn't stand Li Yuan's "neglect of duty".
The other immortals and gods didn't say much.
Anyway, it can be regarded as safeguarding their interests.
Merits, incense, and blessings from heaven, who would complain about too much...
"Hey, is he... going to take these mortal ghosts back to Anshan?"
Suddenly, some gods were surprised.
Other immortals and gods also looked on.
"How dare a ninth-rank minor mountain god do this? Is he seeking death?"
There were immortals covered in golden light, laughing sarcastically.
They sat above the sky, looking like they were watching the fun.
Under the sky, above the earth.
Li Yuan took the lead, and behind him were a large number of souls of Anyue soldiers.
He was a little out of breath.
The invisible pressure of heaven had made Li Yuan breathless.
The golden light of merit on his body had been burned so dim that it seemed as if it would go out at the next moment.
It is still hundreds of miles away from Anshan.
Li Yuan's face turned pale, as if he was extremely weak. His steps became frivolous, and his body swayed a little.
He began to have trouble seeing things clearly, as if something extremely important had been stripped away.
But when Li Yuan looked back, seeing those pairs of eyes filled with tears and those illusory figures, he couldn't help but grit his teeth and persevere.
In a trance, Li Yuan staggered and almost fell forward.
A pair of translucent hands suddenly held him.
Li Yuan tilted his head and saw a soldier with a resolute face and blood-stained armor.
"Master Mountain God, please don't endure this alone."
"Let's go home together."
A slight smile appeared on the soldier's face.
A pair of hands began to push on Li Yuan's back and hold in front of him.
The soldiers behind, one after another, put their hands on the shoulders of the figure in front, as if they had built a long and solid fortress.
The fragile but inexhaustible power of the soul was condensing and gathering around Li Yuan, helping Li Yuan resist the burning of the invisible fire.
The soldiers' hands were very cold, like biting ice.
But there seemed to be a fire burning in Li Yuan's heart.
"Okay, let's go home together!"
A bright light shone in Li Yuan's eyes.
He began to actively burn incense sticks to do good deeds, and together with these 140,000 dead souls, resist the punishment of heaven!
Li Yuan was determined to take them home; the souls of the dead soldiers were unwilling to return to reincarnation and wanted to take one last look at their homeland!
"Go back, go back!"
“Go home…go home!”
The soldiers shouted, their voices shaking the sky and echoing in all directions.
Their long-cherished wishes cannot be heard on earth, but in some magical places, this pure and clear cry can definitely be heard!
At this moment, a unique force was formed between Li Yuan and the dead souls.
The emergence of this power made Tiandao hesitate.
The mountains and rivers retreated, the earth became flat, and even the invisible punishment from heaven disappeared.
The road under their feet became magical, illusory and mysterious.
It seems as if one is traveling through an unknown world; and it also seems as if every step is beyond the heaven and earth.
"what?"
Above the second heaven, there were immortals and gods who were in doubt and uncertainty.
"This...is this the power of the mind?!"
Many immortals and gods were horrified.
How could this power, feared by the Heavenly Dao and forbidden by the gods, appear in a small mountain god? !
"The power of the mortal mind is as turbid as mud, yet as clear as a spiritual spring..."
"The magical power that can shake the impartial Heavenly Dao and can make Heavenly Dao tainted with human emotions and reason should not, should not appear..."
"If the thoughts of ordinary people can directly reach the Supreme Heaven, where does that leave us, the immortal gods who rule the world?"
The immortal god with considerable experience muttered to himself.
The immortals and gods in the third heaven, the fourth heaven... and even the eighth heaven were alarmed.
They stood on the sky, looking over.
After understanding the situation.
Many immortals and gods felt a little uneasy.
But on the ground, Li Yuan felt a lot more relaxed, as if he was protected by a strange force.
Li Yuan looked back at the souls of the dead soldiers who were united as one. Seeing the determination in their eyes, he had some understanding in his heart.
He is protecting the mortals, so aren't the mortals protecting him?
The way of heaven and earth is one yin and one yang; the way of living beings is one good and one evil.
The way of heaven is balanced, and immortals and gods are eternal; but to be eternal, there should be no imbalance.
It can be the highest point in the world and the bottom of all things.
You can be aloof and above, or you can bend down and become the mud.
This is the way gods and immortals should act.
After realizing this, Li Yuan seemed to be able to control the power as if it were his own.
The army of dead souls quickly moved between heaven and earth.
In just a moment, An Yue arrived.
One hundred and fourteen thousand dead souls stood at the edge of Anyue, with tears in their eyes.
We are home, my country, my home, we are back!
In Anyue territory, red and white lanterns are everywhere.
Many people were holding lanterns and looking out in the fields and on the roadside.
The candles lit in the lanterns can help the dead souls find their way and their families.
The people only knew that the heroic spirits had returned, but they didn't know whether any of their relatives were among them, so every household lit a lantern.
No one wants that person who comes back won’t be able to find the person he wants to see.
No one wants this to be the last silent one.
But the people knew that there was nothing they could do about it.
An army of two hundred thousand men marched out, and those who returned included a full one hundred and fourteen thousand heroic souls!
Among them, who are the people who are worried about you?
The army of dead souls scattered, each looking for their relatives and friends to see them for the last time.
The obsession is deep, and he would risk his life to return, even if it is only for this brief moment.
Those soldiers are also ordinary people.
A husband, a father, a son...
The husband hugged his wife, his eyes full of love, and he shed tears and cried silently.
The father gazed at his children, kissed their foreheads and cheeks gently, his eyes full of reluctance.
The son knelt down in front of his parents with an apologetic look on his face, and smoothed the messy hair of his worried parents.
A child suddenly stretched out his hands and pointed forward, squeaky:
"Daddy, Daddy, hold me..."
The worried wife held a lantern and looked at the empty sky and earth.
Suddenly, she felt a gentle breeze caressing her cheek, as if it was the gentle kiss her husband gave her before he left.
In an instant, my heart was broken.
The wrinkled old man felt the wind blowing his hair, as if he understood something. His eyes were red and his body was shaking, but he didn't know where to look for a moment.
Li Yuan stood far away, looking at this heartbreaking scene in the world, his eyes couldn't help but become moist.
All the miserable things in the world are nothing but separation between life and death.
There is hope for separation in this world, but separation in death is like a sudden loss.
