"Great Elder...... You already knew?"

The air seemed to condense for a moment, and Yu Ling's voice seemed to have a thousand weights.

Xu Shipu said very calmly: "When you reach the level of the peak of the Dao Path, you will understand that the one who can offset the obliteration of the Dao Rule is either a powerful Dao Rule of the same level, or a ...... From the source, it is above all the rules of the Dao, and its own immortality is immortal. Other than that, there are no other flukes and possibilities. ”

Yuling was silent.

"I can understand your concealment, after all, such a secret is the safest for one person to know. But judging from the current situation, Wanfa Lingzun should have guessed it. Xu Shipu said.

Yu Ling still didn't answer, he faintly felt that Wanfa Lingzun probably knew this secret from the beginning, but it was just ...... They have other plans.

But what about Xu Shipu? Could it be that he didn't care about this immortal artifact? Yu Ling didn't believe that he was so high-spirited.

Xu Shipu seemed to see through his doubts, and said lightly: "I promised your mother that I would protect you." Besides, I haven't gotten through the future path yet, so when I'm ready, I'll let you help me. ”

With an understatement of his robe, the locked spatial node was set right and returned to normal.

"In the future, for the sake of your safety, you should not leave Shangyuan Palace until you reach the peak of renegade. Xu Shipu said.

Yu Ling couldn't help frowning slightly, he always felt that Xu Shipu was hiding a lot of things, and the words of Wan Fa Lingzun before leaving always lingered in his mind.

It's going to change......

What does this mean, exactly?

Bringing him back to Tian Yuan Xing, I'm afraid it's not just to "protect" his safety, right?

Yu Ling surged with irrepressible irritability, he was now infinitely close to the truth he wanted, but the secret game of these big people was still an insurmountable distance from him.

He had a very bad premonition, it was a kind of depression that a storm was coming.

But Xu Shipu wanted to exclude him from the wind and rain.

Yuling took one last look at Tian Miaoling, and said, "Patriarch Tian, I'm afraid I'm going to leave for a while, and our cooperation is still valid, it's just ...... You need to be patient enough to wait. ”

"What do you mean?" asked Tian Miaoling.

But she didn't get a reply, because it was just a blink of an eye, and a ripple in space rippled, directly submerging the figures of Yuling and the others.

The ripples faded away, and the place was empty.

Tian Miaoling stood silently in the vast underground world, as if she had just woken up from a long nightmare.

She returned to the outside world in a bit of a dejected state, and as soon as she walked out of the mourning hall, a spirit servant appeared to her like a ghost.

Patriarch Tian stopped. The spirit servant said with a glance.

Tian Miaoling bypassed him without saying a word, trying to continue walking.

Patriarch Tian stopped. Like a robot, the Servant swayed and continued to stand in her way.

Tian Miaoling couldn't help but feel a little angry, and said coldly: "What's the matter, can't I still walk around my clan at will?"

"The Great Elder has instructed that in the past month, Patriarch Tian will not be allowed to step out of the Holy Land for half a step, and this is also for your safety, until our clan cleans up the chess pieces planted by the Dao Spirit Clan. The spirit servant said indifferently.

"After cleaning them up, is it my turn next?" Tian Miaoling said quietly.

"As long as Patriarch Tian is willing to cooperate with our clan, you are still the patriarch of the Evil Fang Clan, but Tutun has been taken away by us, if Patriarch Tian unfortunately encounters any mistakes, we can only reluctantly let him replace him. The spirit servant said.

"It's really worthy of the consistent style of the two spirit clans. Tian Miaoling gritted her teeth slightly and squeezed out a sarcastic smile.

"Please cooperate with Patriarch Tian. The servant was indifferent.

Tian Miaoling snorted coldly, turned her head and returned to the mourning hall, sitting cross-legged on the futon in front of the tablet.

She struggled to maintain the last shred of dignity, and her expression still seemed as calm as usual, but anger, unwillingness, and sorrow grew like weeds in her heart.

The evil clan she worked so hard to manage couldn't be saved after all. In front of the huge Yuan Spirit Clan, they were as ridiculous and small as fireflies.

At this moment, she suddenly understood what Yu Ling had just said.

Await...... Wait patiently.

The nails were sunk deep in the palm of her hand, Tian Miaoling took a deep breath, and gradually sank into a state of thoughtless concentration.

Whether it's a year or two, or a decade or a hundred years, as long as she's alive, she can afford to wait.

......

Returning to Tianyuan Star again, Yuling had a sense of trance that things were wrong.

For a long time after that, freedom was out of his mind, and he would survive alone on a hostile planet as a glamorous prisoner.

Whether it is Zu Xing, Western Alliance, Fire Refining Sect, or Jiuchen Gate, it has nothing to do with him, anyway, the Yuan Ling Clan will take over in an all-round way.

Isn't it a joy that he finally got the peace he had been asking for?

How many people squeezed their heads and wanted to breathe a breath of Tianyuan Xing's air, but he could stay here every day, and he couldn't even leave if he wanted to, this was probably a siege.

Xu Shipu took all his clones back, Yu Ling didn't think of sneaking one to hide, but in front of such a strong person, no matter how many clones there were, there was nowhere to hide, because the origin aura was completely consistent.

Under the protection of Bai Guang, Xu Shipu has no ability to erase him, but he can easily gain insight into Yu Ling's clone "network", after all, this kind of non-hostile behavior is not something that Bai Guang can prevent, to be precise, Yu Ling will not use Bai Guang to prevent it.

Even the clone of Taikoo Cave was notified to return to Shangyuan Palace immediately.

In fact, strictly speaking, Yu Ling's cultivation in Taigu Cave has been overtime, and it has been almost seven months, but since the matter of the selection of spirit girls has not ended, the whole clan has deliberately ignored him, and they are ready to wait until it is over to let Yu Ling vacate his place.

But now that Xue Qingling is missing, if there is no accident, the position of the spirit girl will fall on Yun Shengchan's head.

I only hope that Xu Shipu can quickly find Xue Qingling with his spirit......

Yuling walked in the dense mountains and forests, and was not in a hurry to return to Shangyuan Palace, but just let his thoughts empty endlessly.

He enjoyed this last freedom.

Walking aimlessly, there is no need to speculate on people's hearts, no need to think about future plans, and no need to weigh the gains and losses of interests, which is very much in line with his current identity as an idler.

Before he knew it, he had walked down the mountain, and in the distance he could see a small mountain village in front of him, and there was a clear river in front of the village.

Yuling walked to the river at the speed of a walk, and saw a few children squatting by the river laughing and laughing, floating on the pebbles, sometimes making frustrated or excited cries, and not far away some women chatting with their companions while scrubbing their clothes vigorously.

This is the life of most ordinary people in this world.

Ordinary, mediocre, but also fulfilling and happy.

Yu Ling passed by them, and no one could detect his presence.

He was surprised that Tianyuan Star actually had such an ordinary small village, but when he thought about it, he was relieved.

Even if many people live in the same city, it is still as if they live in two worlds, and the prosperity of the upper class and the poverty of the lower class are never connected.

Just like these ordinary villagers, they don't care who the owner of this star is, even if it changes again and again, as long as it hasn't collapsed, what's the point?

"People go, outside the green mountains, the small building leans alone and caresses the light strings; people go, the sunset is slanting, and the thin clouds are dyed in the nine heavens......"

Suddenly, a song came, and Yu Ling followed the prestige, only to see a small boat drifting down from a distance, and the old man at the bow of the boat was leisurely rowing a wooden oar, humming an unknown song.

The song is simple and peaceful, but it carries a strange power that makes the impetuosity of the world drift away in an instant, leaving behind an indescribable accessibility and tranquility.

The old man seemed to be out of tune with the world around him, but he seemed to be harmoniously integrated, a feeling that was extremely contradictory.

When the boat drifted closer, the old man had just finished singing the last sentence, and Yuling asked aloud, "Boatman, where are you going?"

"Go home. The old man laughed.

Yu Ling looked at the fish basket next to him, and there was only a skinny gray fish fluttering weakly in it.

"Doesn't it seem like you've gained much today?"

"There are so many fish in this river, catch less today, catch more tomorrow, and vice versa. People want to live, and fish have to live, all for the sake of livelihood. The old man said.

"Can that feed a family?"

"I'm the only one in this family, my wife died a few years ago, and I have a younger son, who thinks I'm too old to be promising, so I've already gone to the city. The old man said.

"Don't you feel sorry then?"

"Hey, my son is out of breath, I know what road to take in the future, what do I have to be sad about. As for my wife, I was very happy for her, and on the day she left, I sang to her for a day. She has gotten rid of this shell and gained great spiritual freedom, although she can no longer talk to me, but she just continues to accompany me in a different form, I can feel it. The old man laughed.

At this time, the children in the distance also noticed the two people who were talking, and threw the pebbles in their hands one after another.

"Crazy old man, get rid of him!"

"Get out! Get out!"

Facing the raindrop-like stones, the old man calmly dealt with it, and the smile on the corner of his lips did not change in the slightest: "Young man, when you reach my age, you will understand, this life will soon pass." The flesh is born in this world as small as dust, and will eventually decay, and only the free mind can transcend the limitations of existence and absence, and travel with all things, which is great freedom. ”

He paddled the wooden oar lightly and began to sing the next ballad: "People go, the water flows eastward, and a thousand sails are far away......

Yu Ling watched the boat go away in the gurgling water, and his heart was empty.

"Being in the Tao and the mind outside the Tao is the ...... of apostasy
