Chapter 658: Met 1 person, very regretful
Mountains and rivers are like bubbles, and the world is like a mirage.
If you ask where love begins, there is no feeling and no end.
Liangshan was visible from afar, but Li Yuan's figure slowly stopped among the clouds.
He looked up at the sky silently, his eyes were deep and his calm expression seemed to be questioning the heavens, and also seemed to be strengthening his faith.
Li Yuan did not go directly to Liangshan, but first came to the capital of Liang State under Liangshan.
Lift up the broken walls and sweep away the dust on the ground.
Li Yuan hid his body invisibly, and the immortal light caressed him, healing the displaced and injured people. He walked on the streets that had been ravaged by demons, step by step, towards the location of the former Shen Mansion of Liang Kingdom.
Some spirit beasts are very intelligent and silently guard the corners of the streets to prevent the people from being targeted by demons.
When they sensed Li Yuan's arrival, they all bowed their heads to show their respect to the Anshan Mountain God.
Li Yuan also responded, healing some of their hidden injuries before continuing to move forward.
The Shen Mansion, which was once bustling, now looks very desolate.
No one sweeps the dead leaves in front of the door, and the red walls and green tiles are stained with blood.
After the demon attack, the people of the Shen Mansion had already moved out of the capital of Liang State and fled to Anshan.
When he saw the closed door of the Shen Mansion, Li Yuan took slight steps, and in a flash, he came from the street into the Shen Mansion.
The ancestral hall on the side of the Shen Mansion enshrines the spirit tablets of the ancestors. Perhaps because a disaster was approaching, the people in the Shen Mansion were in a hurry to flee and had no time to take the spirit tablets away, so they could only leave them in the ancestral hall.
On the latest batch of spirit tablets were the names of the Shen family's head and his wife.
These two passed away more than ten years ago. They died of illness in old age, which can barely be considered a natural death.
After the death of the head and his wife, the Shen family was taken over by a side branch as they had no male offspring. This happened to be the time when the family encountered troubled times and they never recovered and became one of the refugees among the vast number of people.
At the very edge of the ancestral hall, Li Yuan also saw Shen Xuanxi's name. Someone had secretly contributed it later. The material was a bit crude, as if a loyal servant had erected it when no one cared about it.
Li Yuan walked into the ancestral hall and picked up the tablet with Shen Xuanxi's name on it. As expected, he saw a line of beautiful small characters behind the tablet.
[The daughter of the Shen family, the slave sister of Xuanxi, A Ling Te Li. ]
The handwriting was a little sloppy, as if the writer was worried about something urgent, but insisted on finishing the task before leaving.
Li Yuan stroked the spirit tablet with a calm expression. He said nothing, but silently put it back to its original place, then turned and walked towards the lobby of the Shen Mansion.
The lobby was a bit messy, as if there had been a robbery. Things were scattered all over the floor, and many tables and chairs were broken and lying on the ground. The precious materials told of the former glory of this mansion.
Walking through the lobby, Li Yuan headed towards Shen Xuanxi's former residence.
Pushing open the wooden door of the wing, a rather simple room appeared in front of Li Yuan.
He paced slightly in the room, and when he turned his head, his spiritual sense inadvertently saw some words on the dressing table.
The handwriting was a little blurry, as if someone had carved it bit by bit with a wooden comb many years ago.
Li Yuan, who was originally calm, looked at the handwriting and took a deep breath, his brows half-wrinkled and his expression complicated.
【I met someone and liked him very much; I regretted not keeping him. 】
There was once a gentle mortal woman who, day after day, year after year, in this room, with a longing that could not be expressed to outsiders, carved these brief words that were enough to shake Li Yuandao's heart.
She knew that Li Yuan had made a false dream, but she could not forget the figure in the bamboo forest.
The companionship of the bamboo forest for several years was enough to make her remember it for a lifetime. Even after the disaster was over, she was still moved by it.
Shen Xuanxi knows her limits. She understands the difference between immortals and mortals, and will not block Li Yuan's way, nor will she dwell on this private affair. She just prays silently for Li Yuan, hoping that he will live forever.
Starlight and fireflies are like the difference between heaven and earth, untouchable, yet hard to miss.
Rubbing the words with his fingers, Li Yuan seemed to see a gentle and sad woman sitting alone in front of the dressing table, looking so lonely.
......
On Liangshan Mountain, refugees set up camp and spiritual beasts run around.
Since the chaotic times, many things have changed. People can only gather in the areas where the mountain and river gods live to avoid being targeted by the roaming demons and evil people.
However, no matter how big the main mountain of Liangshan is, it is difficult to accommodate thousands of people. Many innocent people who have suffered disasters can only hide at the foot of the mountain and beg for the favor of immortals and gods.
The spiritual beasts of Liangshan have been busy for a long time, and the mountain god of Liangshan has also been leading people to quell the rebellion everywhere, ensuring the safety of the mountain and trying his best to rescue the people living at the foot of the mountain.
Li Yuan climbed the mountain, and the fairy light shone on all living things in the mountain, soothing their pain and eliminating their illness.
The people could not see Li Yuan, but they knew that it was an immortal who took action. They burst into tears and kowtowed towards the mountain with pious expressions, full of awe and gratitude.
"My savior, immortal god, when will this chaotic world end..."
On the way up the mountain, an old man who had lost all his relatives and was nearing death seemed to have briefly broken through the boundary between life and death. His cloudy old eyes actually saw Li Yuan's figure, and he couldn't help but tremble with excitement and kneel down, with tears on his face.
Li Yuan bent down and silently helped the old man up, his eyes filled with compassion and helplessness.
"I'm sorry, I don't know..."
On the road ahead, there is endless suffering and the world is already a devastated scene. Those miserable cries and prayers make Li Yuan have the urge to immediately awaken the remains of the Human Emperor and sweep through the three realms.
But he knew that now was not the right time. Using his trump card too early would only make those behind the scenes hide deeper.
Including the summons from Xuanyuan Jun himself to return, Li Yuan can only use the means to reverse the desperate situation twice in total, and he must use them with caution.
When we reached the top of the mountain, a giant wild boar with scars all over its body came towards us with a respectful look on its face.
When Li Yuan was looking after the mountain for Liangshan Mountain God, it was this god who took care of the trivial matters in the mountain and kept in contact with Li Yuan.
"My Lord Mountain God of Anshan, my Lord Mountain God has gone out to subdue demons and has not returned yet..."
"The soul of that mortal woman, like the souls of other people, had long been called by the reincarnation. However, without the escort of the guide, she was afraid that she would not be able to reach the underworld safely. She wandered in the mountains, as if... in a daze, she went to the bamboo forest."
The wild boar is quite human-like and intelligent, and it deeply remembers the kindness that Li Yuan had shown it over the years.
Li Yuan nodded, looked at the scars on the wild boar, and took out a large number of spiritual medicines and fairy medicine leaves.
"You have all worked hard in this turbulent time. Take these medicines to treat your companions' injuries and save their lives, and also share some with the injured and sick people in the mountains..."
The wild boar bowed his head, accepted it respectfully, and left in a hurry.
There is not only Shen Xuanxi's soul wandering around Liangshan, but countless souls are wandering. Because there is no one to guide them, they instinctively stay beside their relatives or linger in the place where they are obsessed.
Thanks to the protection of the Liangshan Mountain God, they were not burned by the scorching sun or dispersed by the human energy.
But humans and ghosts have different paths. If the dead souls stay with their relatives and friends on earth, the negative energy will only make the living people weaker.
Li Yuan made hand gestures and called on all the dead souls nearby to gather at the top of the mountain. He would send them to the underworld for reincarnation.
