Chi Ruhui and his Taoist companions had been treating each other like guests for more than ten years. When he woke up, he was sent to prison by his Taoist companions for no reason, and his blood was taken away from him. Only then did he realize that the past days were all fake.
Perhaps it wasn't entirely false. The Taoist couple rarely came to see him, and rarely spoke when they saw him. His eyes often showed pain, and his brows were slightly furrowed, showing deep affection and suffering. The old servant who came to deliver the meal often shook his head and sighed: Why are the two of you torturing each other like this?
Chi Ruhui, who was using stones to draw lines in the prison:?
Chi Ruhui: Are you sure it's not one-sided torture?
Chi Ruhui waited for a long time, and finally figured out the situation before he died. It turned out that the seal related to the demon god's remnant in his body was about to loosen. The purpose of taking his life was to allow thousands of people in Chuzhou to enjoy peace, to take the blood from his heart, and to help his senior brother and master, who had a deep love for Taoism, overcome the disaster.
For the sake of the righteousness of the world and the kindness of his master, the Taoist couple lurked beside him early and made friends with him, just to stab him to death with a sword today.
Chi Ruhui struggled for his life one last time: ... So have you found another solution?
The Taoist monk shook his head.
Then there is not only one way to go.
Chi Ruhui looked at the sword in his hand and raised his sword to kill himself.

After returning from rebirth a hundred years later, Chi Ruhui rushed to Chuzhou as soon as possible. It turned out to be a peaceful and beautiful scene of living and working in peace and contentment, and he was immediately satisfied.
After taking some time off, he went to the teahouse to listen to a book, and found that the sect of the former Taoist couple was not praised by thousands of people. There were also few people in the teahouse praising the former Taoist couple for killing their husbands for the people because of their profound righteousness. A hundred years ago, his senior brother and master were almost completely slaughtered by his former rival, Zuo Jingyou, the world's number one swordsman, and the sect is still in a state of decline.
Zuo Jingyou? Chi Ruhui wondered, when did he and his former Taoist companion develop such a big feud?
In the previous life, when I got married to my Taoist lover, he looked like he was about to die. I thought he was my love rival!
Seeing each other again later, the former laughter-loving rival's brows were full of evil spirits, and he no longer had the same arrogant look. Chi Ruhui watched him capture the fallen demon cultivator. He actually recognized the demon cultivator as a fellow disciple of the former Taoist monk. The man knelt on the ground, trembling, and said the name of the former Taoist monk: Qi He, Qi He couldn't help it at the beginning...
Before he finished speaking, the man's head was torn open and blood spattered on the spot. The remaining soul was crushed away by Zuo Jingyou. Chi Ruhui blinked and wiped away the blood spatter on the side of his face. He finally understood why no one spoke up for his former Taoist companion.
