Chapter 954 Want to live!

The mountain road is rugged and overgrown with weeds.

The sharp thorns cut the skin on Tianyun's hands and feet, and blood flowed out of his flesh, but he never stopped.

At this moment, Tianyun kept muttering to himself, his eyes were red as if they were bloodshot, and he was carrying Yang Qingqing's already cold body on his back, with the only thought in his mind being to save Yang Qingqing.

After searching hard in the mountains, Tianyun climbed over several ridges in a panic and finally saw a small dusty temple beside a ravine.

This mountain temple is not big, and because it is located in a remote place, few people come here to worship, so it is covered with dead leaves and dense spider webs.

Apparently, the mountain god had not paid attention to this temple for a long time, allowing the tiny creatures in the mountain to live in it and absorb the remaining fairy spirit.

An inexplicable and distant memory emerged in Tianyun's mind: to kowtow to such a dusty temple, one needs to knock on the temple door three times, perform the nine-kowtow ceremony, and kneel outside the temple for an hour and three quarters of an hour while holding a long incense stick.

This is "worshiping the gods", which means letting the gods' will favor this temple again.

But Tianyun didn't care about that. He carried Yang Qingqing on his back, pushed the door several times, and when he found that he couldn't open it, he kicked the door of the temple open and rushed in.

"Mountain God! Red Leaf Mountain God!"

"Lord Mountain God, please show up and answer my call!"

Tianyun carefully put Yang Qingqing's body down and let her lean against the pillar, while he knelt on the dusty old cushion in the temple.

He called out the name of the mountain god with an anxious look on his face, his body shaking with suppressed emotions.

But no matter how hard he shouted, and even picked up a broken tile, cut his palm, and called on the mountain god with a blood sacrifice, he still got no response.

This temple has long lost the attention of the gods. Unless it is "worshipped" again and the gods in the mountains are made aware of it, there are still people worshipping and kneeling in this temple.

Or perhaps the mountain god heard it but was unwilling to respond.

No matter how remote the mountains and ridges are, as long as there are still people living there, there are many people willing to worship the mountain gods, but the gods cannot respond to everyone's prayers.

For immortals and gods, whether to choose to help mortals depends entirely on the illusory law of fate. To put it simply, it depends on whether they like the other person.

Tianyun simply kicked open the door and entered the temple to pray. Such a rough behavior would naturally make it difficult to get a response from the mountain god, not to mention that the temple had been abandoned.

Even though Tianyun tried to call out forcefully using the blood sacrifice method in his mind, the temple was deserted and the mountain god was unhappy, so he didn't get any response at all.

Strength, the strength has not been restored, otherwise I would be able to force him out!

There was an unwilling voice in his head screaming, Tianyun wished he could recover his original strength, although he didn't know how strong that strength was, but it was definitely enough to attract the attention of the mountain god here! He could even forcibly take back Yang Qingqing's soul from the other party!

If he had great power, he would be able to save the suffering and end this endless cycle of disasters!

Tianyun's mood was extremely complicated. Looking at the dusty interior of the temple, he was silent for a moment, and his excitement calmed down a little.

He took a long breath, looked deeply at the statue enshrined in the temple, carried Yang Qingqing on his back, and walked out again.

Even if this temple is abandoned, there are other temples. He will not give up!

"You can't kick the door, you can't offend, otherwise it will be more difficult to get a response..."

"I need to be quick. A mortal's soul cannot be away from the body for too long. If it is regarded as a wandering soul, it will not be able to come back... I need to be quick, but I must not lose my sense of proportion..."

Tianyun muttered to himself, and suddenly slapped himself hard to wake up his confused brain. He forced himself to suppress the negative emotions in his heart, and walked away into the mountains without looking back.

He crossed the mountains, leaving hideous bloodstains along the way. Even though his head was dizzy, he always tried to identify the direction and insisted on walking towards a road that Yang Qingqing had once mentioned.

That is the road that local people often take to go up and down the mountain, so there must be a temple with incense burning in it.

His shoes were worn out and his clothes were torn. Tianyun seemed to have turned back into the broken man he was, struggling forward in the mountains.

Having cut his palm before, and being scratched by thorns along the way, a large amount of blood was lost, causing Tianyun to see black and gradually feel weak in his body.

But he didn't dare to fall down now. He wanted to live, at least until the moment he rescued Yang Qingqing!

"No, don't lose your memory, don't start over..."

"God, please don't let me fall... I don't want to be that blank sheet of paper again. Miss Yang is innocent. Let me save her. You can punish me in any way you want!!"

As his vitality faded, it was as if a chain was gradually closing Tianyun's brain. He found that his body began to shake, as if he was about to fall down at any time.

Once he closed his eyes, perhaps when he woke up again, he would become a person with no memories again, forgetting the urgent matter at the moment... Then Yang Qingqing would be really dead!

Tianyun didn’t know whether he had encountered such a moment in his countless past lives.

When he came out of the black factory, he just wanted to die quietly and didn't want to stay in the world any longer.

But at this moment, he wanted to live, live!

Those resentful and regretful voices disappeared, and Tianyun only had one thought left in his mind: stay alive, find the mountain god, and save Yang Qingqing!

With only one belief in mind, Tianyun seemed to have stimulated the potential of his body. He ran out of the mountain with the already cold Yang Qingqing on his back and successfully came to the mountain road where people occasionally went.

"Temple! Where is the temple?"

His body was covered with scratches of varying sizes, as if he was covered in blood, but Yang Qingqing's body behind him was safe and sound, and was being carefully protected by him.

Tianyun shouted to a woodcutter on the mountain road, his eyes were red and his expression was almost crazy.

The woodcutter was startled and pointed at the mountain: "There is a temple on the top of the mountain!"

After saying this, Chai Fu hurried down the mountain and ran away, fearing that he might meet some evil person.

Tianyun was in a daze and had no time to say thank you. He carried Yang Qingqing on his back and hurried along the mountain path to the top of the mountain.

After passing through several forests, this section of the smooth uphill road seemed particularly difficult.

His body became increasingly heavy, and heavy gasps came from his throat. Tianyun's eyes went dark, and he felt as if his feet were tied with chains and he couldn't move.

To use the words of Li Yuan's hometown, this is because the adrenaline released by the body has subsided and the body is about to reach its limit.

However, Tianyun still did not dare to give up. He had a premonition that if he dared to relax a little, he would fall to the ground immediately, and wake up from the dust in an unknown period of time...

"Mountain God... Mountain God... Soul..."

Tianyun muttered unconsciously, his throat was hoarse as if it was on fire, and he could no longer breathe air through his nose, but he did not stop.

The mountain road was crooked and the figures were staggering. This road leading to Tianyun's "atonement" was extremely long, as if it spanned a century.

I don’t know how long I walked, but in a daze, Tianyun saw a pavilion beside the mountain road.

In the pavilion, there was an old man in a brocade robe with kind eyes, white hair and beard, drinking tea alone with a faint smile on his face.

Somehow, Tianyun paused and, as if possessed by a ghost, walked towards the pavilion.

"Who are you, and why are you heading up this mountain?"

The old man did not stand up. He smiled and poured a cup of tea into the empty cup. The fragrance filled the air, and the whole pavilion seemed to be filled with a misty air.

Tianyun put Yang Qingqing down stupidly, leaned against the stone table in the middle of the pavilion, looked at the cup of clear tea with white smoke coming out, and instinctively reached out to take it.

"Hey~~Don't move, don't move. You are not qualified to drink my tea."

"This tea is for this kind-hearted female doctor."

The old man shook his head and smiled, then suddenly stretched out his hand to brush away Tianyun's movements.
