An imperceptible look of disdain flashed in the old Tao's eyes, but the smile on his face remained unchanged, and he said: "You all know the rules, this hit the fairy fate, then naturally he wants to go with me, and in the future, he can go home every year." ”

"Immortal Master, I understand, I understand, even if you take people away, for the sake of the baby's future, it's nothing if we can't see the doll for a short time. ”

The child's father said immediately.

Lao Dao didn't seem surprised by this answer, so he immediately nodded and said, "Don't worry, since your child is valued by me, then the future is naturally limitless." ”

After a few more words, the child remained on the high platform and was taken to the Land Temple by a young Taoist priest who looked to be a disciple of the old Taoist.

Although the child's father was a little reluctant, his expression was very excited and proud, as if his son had become an immortal.

It's just that Ye Bai's gaze at him is a little complicated.

Because he knew that maybe this kid would never be able to go back, and as for being an immortal, it was even more impossible.

It's just a pity that these ordinary people simply can't know this, and they will never know this.

As time passed slowly, about half an hour later, after all the candidate children had been tested, the old Taoist priest stood up with satisfaction and said, "This is the end of the apprenticeship ceremony, and I will come again in ten years." At that time, I hope you can come up with excellent juniors, this is not only a big thing for our sect, but also a big thing for you. ”

When many ordinary people who were watching heard this, they immediately moved their minds, those who did not get married thought about getting married, but those who were already married were estimating the days, thinking about when they would be able to give birth to a son who met the requirements of the old way.

After the meeting, the crowd dispersed one after another, and each returned home.

At this time, it was already late at night, the moon was shining in the sky, and the stars were twinkling, but Baicheng seemed to have completely entered the night, and the whole city was quiet, and everyone seemed to be asleep.

Behind the Land Temple, Ye Bai and Su Xue sneakily went around the back door, ready to find out who this old Taoist was and what his purpose was.

Maybe it was the first time to do this kind of thing, whether it was Ye Bai or Su Xue, they all seemed a little excited.

The two quietly sneaked into the Land Temple, hiding behind a pillar, but their eyes were looking at the situation inside.

At this moment, I saw that in the middle of the Land Temple, more than a dozen children were gathered together, perhaps because they couldn't see their parents, those who were a little younger had actually cried.

"Master, this time there are still not enough people. ”

Just as Ye Bai was about to look for the old Taoist master and apprentice, a voice suddenly sounded.

"There is no way, even if the number of people is not enough, this time, we can only take these people back, if the elders want to punish them, I will bear it alone. ”

Lao Dao's familiar voice also sounded.

The young Taoist priest was a little anxious and said, "Master, you also know the methods of those old monsters, if this is really the case, I am worried about your safety." ”

Lao Dao snorted coldly, lowered his voice and said, "Your master and I have done things for them for so many years, can I still hide one or two hole cards?"

The young Taoist priest was pleasantly surprised, "Master, you mean you have a way to deal with them?"

"Don't ask about this, it's not early, take people away. ”

Lao Dao didn't want to say much, and said lightly.

The young Taoist priest didn't dare to say more, he took out a stick of incense from his backpack, and then at this time, he threw out a piece of talisman paper out of thin air and lit this incense.

The strange thing is that after this incense is ignited, what burns out is actually red smoke!

When most of the children in their early teens inhaled the red smoke into their noses, their eyes gradually lost focus, and their demeanor became stiff and mechanical.

The young man shook the incense and walked ahead, and the children followed him all the way to the outside of the Land Temple.

Lao Dao followed behind, looking indifferent, as if he was used to this scene.

Behind the huge pillars, Ye Bai's expression was slightly angry, so far, although he still didn't know what these people wanted so many children for, but he was sure that this old way was definitely not for collecting apprentices!

"You go back first, and I'll go with you." ”

Ye Bai thought about it and prepared to follow.

Su Xue grabbed him and said with some concern: "I'll go with you." ”

"Good. ”

Ye Bai did not refuse, now Su Xue's cultivation has reached the eighth level of Ning Yuan, although there is still a gap compared with Yi, but it is no longer a burden, but it can bring him real help.

The two didn't say anything more, and after waiting for a while, they chased out.

Along the way, Ye Bai and Su Xue were separated by a distance and followed behind unhurriedly.

After the old man took his apprentice and the dozen or so children out of the city along the city gate, he walked towards the mountains and forests outside the white city.

About an hour or so later, Ye Bai and Su Xue had already gone deep into the dense forest, there was no road here at all, and there were no traces of man-made, but the old road seemed to have some sense, and it was actually very purposeful, and he kept walking towards the depths of the mountain range.

Fortunately, there were bushes in the dense forest, and the two were not worried about being discovered.

After walking for about an hour, the old man and his apprentice finally entered a valley with a dozen children.

Ye Bai and Su Xue stood on the mountain, staring at the old road, their position happened to be in the valley, and there were actually several wooden houses.

It's just that the two of them didn't feel the breath of a living person underneath.

Glancing at each other, Ye Bai and Su Xue didn't communicate anything, and walked towards the valley.

When they entered, they saw that Lao Dao had entered the middle of a wooden house with a child, and soon Lao Dao came out of it and walked towards a wooden house in the middle.

As for the young apprentice, he didn't come out, he should have been watching the children.

Ye Bai and Su Xue covered their breath, and the two of them were like thieves, and quietly arrived outside the ebony building in the middle.

At this moment, the sky was gradually getting brighter, and in the night light, the two of them hid behind the wooden house, but their ears happened to hear the sound of conversation coming from inside.

"Qian Laodao, how many people did you bring back this time?"

The hoarse wind broke through the wind, and an extremely ugly old man's voice came out of it.
