There are many disasters on the road of cultivation. Even with the patient guidance of the best pioneers, a considerable number of people are still unable to overcome the disaster. At the least, they will stop and go astray, and even lead to the tragedy of destroying the alchemy.

Shen Shang, a Taoist son, was defeated in front of the collapse.

He is the eldest son of the Shen family. He has shouldered the great expectations of his parents since he was a child. His lifelong practice path has been designed to be well designed: he grew up patiently in the first ten years, learned knowledge about the Taoist dynasty, and knew the future path early. He entered Yangshen Peak at the age of 11 and returned to the Ancestor Peak at the age of 14. He condensed qi into a pill within a month, from the first level of inhalation to the seventh level, and followed every step. At the age of 20, he was ready to move towards the smoke-swallowing fruit, creating a miracle that was not big or small.

At this moment, the collapse came unexpectedly, and Shen Shang suddenly became disheartened and lost all confidence in the future. Shen Jun and Yang Baozhen watched the predicament of their eldest son. They had already provided all the help the parents of the aisle door. They were helpless at this time and could only hope that Shen Shang would survive the disaster as soon as possible.

This hope has lasted for more than eighty years.

"Can you understand this feeling?" Shen Shang pulled over the chair and changed his face again. It seemed that the person standing in front of him was not a disciple who had just condensed the elixir, but a Taoist priest who could answer questions and explain questions at any time and guide him. "You are walking on a road. This is your first time on the road, but you have a clear understanding of every fork, every turn, and every high mountain river in front. You walked and finally passed a hurdle. For ordinary people, this is a good thing to celebrate, but for you, this is just the first of countless hurdles. There are more behind, and there may be almost no one to walk. Then you think, what's the point of walking like this? What's the difference between stopping early and stopping late?"

Xiaoqiu couldn't understand it. What he felt ridiculous was that Shen Shang used "you" instead of "me" to tell his own problems. It seemed that this would reduce some sense of failure. So he said, "So what? I know that one day I will die, but I won't wait to die from now on. Taking one more step is one step. If possible, I still want to spread my legs and run forward all the way."

Shen Shang was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that the other party would really say something that made him feel moved. Then he smiled and shook his head, "You still don't understand, let's put it another way. For example, you and Qin Lingshuang."

"What's wrong with her and me?" Xiaoqiu didn't like others to mention Fangfang, and his tone became a little stiff.

"Don't be embarrassed, Qin Lingshuang is your wife, most of Pang Shan knows about it." Shen Shang waved his hand indifferently.

The bald man crawled along Xiaoqiu's back, revealing his two eyes from above his shoulders, revealing a ferocious expression like a beast. "Fangfang is Xiaoqiu's wife, not Qin Lingshuang."

Shen Shang didn't pay attention to baldness, "Have you ever thought about it? You can only choose one of the mortal fate and the Daoyuan. If you choose the mortal fate, you can only cultivate to the realm of swallowing smoke. If you want to go further, you must die; if you choose the mortal fate, you have to wait for dozens or even hundreds of years. And you have to make mortal fate each other before. Of course, mortal fate can be replaced by false love, but can you wait? When you pour love on another person, can you still think of Qin Lingshuang? Or can she still remember you? If you are a Taoist family like me, you will understand how illusory "fate" is. If you miss it, you will miss it. Times have changed. You will never find the feeling you are today. After understanding all this, can you still love Qin Lingshuang with peace of mind?"

No one has ever talked about the future of Xiaoqiu and Fangfang so bluntly. Xiaoqiu couldn't answer for a moment. Bald man put it in his ear and whispered: "Don't listen to the liar, let's care about Qin Lingshuang, Brother Xiaoqiu, you just need to marry Fangfang."

"Fangfang is Qin Lingshuang, just like your name is Tuzi, also known as Mu Songxuan." Xiaoqiu said.

"Oh." The bald man suddenly realized, "That's even simpler. Marry Fangfang when he was in the world, and marry Qin Lingshuang when he was in the world."

Shen Shang laughed loudly, his eyes still staring at Mu Xingqiu, knowing that his words hit the other party's thoughts. He is over 100 years old this year, and under his childish face is a worldly and sophisticated heart.

Xiaoqiu shrugged and sat on the edge of the bed with a bald man. He never told anyone about his plans for the future. This time he would make an example, "I like Fangfang, Fangfang likes me. If this feeling is so strong that we must be together, then we will make a relationship. If it is not that strong, then we will go our separate ways. As for the Taoist relationship in a longer time, of course, it will be said that at that time. A sheep fell on the cliff. I would like to eat it for roasting or stewing. There is nothing on the cliff. Why should I bother?"

Shen Shang was stunned again and sat on the chair and thought for a while, "We are two types of people, and they have nothing to do with their origins and status. We are two completely opposite types of people. I envy you very much. You may never encounter a collapse. Just like Zuo Liuying, you will never fall in love with anyone in nature. You don't even have to consider whether you are a mortal or a mortal."

"Zuo Liuying has a wife." Xiao Qiu reminded.

"Haha, the one named Huanyue? It seems that you don't know Zuo Liuying at all. He is a genius who has a root of the womb and started practicing before he was born. There are countless geniuses in various Taoist dynasties, but there are only a few geniuses. The thinking of such a person is completely different from that of you and me. His so-called wife is just a title, indicating that he is very interested in this fantasy woman, just like his interest in demon seeds and new magic, and is not at all similar to your feelings for Qin Lingshuang."

"We're talking about you, you haven't survived the collapse."

"It's all your fault for interrupting." Shen Shang pushed the blame to Mu Xingqiu, sat on the chair and fell into deep thought. "In short, I didn't want to practice since I was twenty years old. I don't understand what the meaning of practicing hard and prolonging my life? What is the meaning of life that needs to be spent on practice for more than half of my time? I have given up practicing and have to spend at least two or three hours in a day to think; kill demons and eliminate demons? Anyway, demons cannot be killed completely. How much impact can the few I kill less?"

Shen Shang let out a long breath, but the childlike face showed a negative expression that had experienced vicissitudes. "The most important thing is that I felt too tired. At first, I just wanted to sit down and rest for a while, but for more than 80 years, I haven't stood up, and the more I sit, the more comfortable I feel. Taoist priests with seven levels of breath can usually live for 130 or 40 years, and I can live for 20 or 30 years until I die. For Taoist priests, this is simply a matter of a moment, but I am not in a hurry at all, and I even feel that this is a kind of relief."

It is a bunch of such disciples. But they have not yet condensed the elixir and cannot get the title of "Cangjie", and they cannot be as detailed as Shen Shang said.

Xiaoqiu looked at Shen Shang and did not regard him as a senior in his 100s. This is a teenage Taoist priest. "The Taoist priest can maintain his appearance for a certain year. Why are you getting younger and younger?"

Shen Shang picked up the mirror on the table and looked at it for a while. The bald man behind Xiaoqiu made a series of threatening screams.

"I didn't mean it, it became smaller without realizing it. Maybe I regret Condensing Pills." Shen Shang held the mirror and couldn't let go of it. The bald man's screams became louder and louder. "When I think about it carefully, I miss the life before entering Yangshen Peak the most. The Taoist sects can see the animals hidden in the Taiyuan without opening their eyes. I like to play with them very much, even now. This is probably the only similar thing between me and Zuo Liuying."

The bald man suddenly jumped out, Xiaoqiu held a strand of hair tightly, and his head still jumped a few feet above his shoulders, and grinned and shouted loudly: "My! The mirror is mine. Don't move my mirror!"

Shin Shang stood up and reached the mirror in front of the bald man, "Stingy, it seems like I will steal your broken mirror."

The bald man opened his mouth and bit the frame. He whispered back behind Xiaoqiu, fixed the mirror with two other strands of hair, laughed at it, and no longer cared about the collapse.

"Look. I really hope that I can be like him, especially interested in something, and even be willing to fight for it. As long as I do this, maybe I can survive the collapse and continue to practice."

Shin Shang's tone was full of envy, "I said I like animals, but the spirit beast died. I just regret it. If it were Zuo Liuying, even if the Tan Yang fell on the fire by himself, he would not let you meat eaters go."

"Just a spirit beast, more important than Pangshan disciples?"

"You don't understand. The importance of disciples is related to their practice. Only when ordinary disciples reach the realm of Fongxia and Taoist disciples obtain the Swallowing Fruit, can they be considered important people. Before this, haha, there are less than 600 spiritual beasts in Pangshan, but there are one or two thousand disciples who are 'not important'. Which one do you think is important?"

Xiaoqiu still thinks that human beings are important, but he didn't argue, "Now you want to survive the disaster, what are you interested in? Demon seeds? Or should you avenge your father?"

"Responsibility." Shen Shang's face became so fast that even the seriousness seemed to be joking. "The Taoist family also has the concept of ordinary families. My father is there, and I can be a child. If he is taken away from the pill, I have to come forward as the eldest son."

"Shen Jun made a mistake. I don't have a demon seed. No one in Yelin Town does not have a demon seed. The same goes for you."

"This is not important. The key is that I care about my eldest son. This is something I have never seen in more than 80 years. Maybe I can survive the collapse, so I have to do something to you to admit defeat and to convince you to recognize the status of the Shin family."

"Just do it anytime, why bother to say this nonsense?" Xiao Qiu let go of the bald hair and became alert again.

"Because I have a good impression of you, really, I never think you have a demon species. You have courage, enthusiasm, and dare to take responsibility. These are all good qualities, so I have to remind you in advance. And you are too weak now. If you take revenge too easily, it will be much less helpful for surviving the disaster. You have to work hard, at least to the triple level of inhalation, so that you can be qualified to be my opponent."

Xiaoqiu snorted, the Shen family was very strange. Shen Shang looked normal, but now he has become the strangest one. "Has anyone ever said you are shameless? I would rather you come up and make a move instead of saying a lot of nonsense."

"Shameless? Haha, I like this title, which is a little better than incompetence and waste. Well, let me be a little more shameless."

The two of them took action at the same time, but Shen Shang was ready to cast the protective spell in advance, took Xiaoqiu's Mei Xin Fist and launched an attack at the same time.

Xiaoqiu, who was fully alert, could not escape. A white light that was rotating and flying penetrated his heart, pressing against the bald hairline, shattering the mirror he was admiring.

Shen Shang left with a laugh, "If you are not dead, practice quickly, I can't wait for too long!"
