At the same time, at the Lingxiao Peak of Tianmen Mountain, Zhao Yi pinched the communication jade slip in his hand and looked at the person in front of him in disbelief.

In front of him was a male cultivator in a Confucian robe, his fair skin was as tender as a baby, and a few crow's feet at the corners of his eyes and a full head of gray hair showed his actual age. Standing in the air without the slightest breath leaking out, he was almost like a mortal compared to the panting Wen Su behind him.

But this is just in the eyes of ordinary people, and in Zhao Yi's eyes, the other party is indeed so powerful, and it can even be said to be terrifying.

The invisible aura passed through his body, and bursts of mysterious rhythms spread invisibly from him. It was as if he had integrated into the whole heaven and earth, and to the surrounding heaven and earth, he was like a part of them, and he did not need to do anything deliberately, just a thought, and the power of heaven and earth, which regarded him as one of his own, would be at his disposal, and let him do whatever he wanted.

He is Lu Tai.

"It's really you!" Zhao Yi's muttering sounded a little desolate.

Lu Tai smiled slightly, waved his hand to signal Wen Su behind him to take care of himself, and then smiled like an old friend and nodded lightly.

"Why?"

The communication jade in his hand was reduced to crumbs, and Zhao Yi's fingertips were almost like digging into the flesh of his palm.

Under the three ancestors of Taixu, Lu Tai has always been one of the reassuring pills of Taixu Palace, and his strength is enviable, but also deeply makes people feel a sense of peace of mind.

But now, this power belongs to others, he is no longer the Dinghai Divine Needle guarding the Taixu Palace, but has become a sharp blade in the hands of Dayan.

Zhao Yi couldn't figure out why Lu Tai would take refuge in Dayan anyway. Whether it is cultivation resources or art teaching, he thinks that the Taixu Palace has not treated the other party badly at all, but why, why did the other party make such a choice?

For fame and fortune?

In order to be promoted to the knighthood?

For the glory of the world?

In order to control the sky?

None of this is clearly possible.

For ordinary people, it may be, but if he has cultivated to the realm of Lu Tai, these things should be just a passing thing for him. The only yearning in their hearts should be the Dao, the dedication to the Heavenly Dao, and the desire for the immortal world, and these Taixu Palaces can satisfy him, and even several other super forces can do it, but Da Yan cannot.

So, why is that?

"There's not much to say. Lu Tai said softly, "Are you going to challenge me, or are you going to leave now?" for the sake of the past, I can pretend that I have never seen you, and let you go." ”

"Nothing to say? hehe, hahahahaha!"

Zhao Yi laughed coldly: "Lu Tai, you actually told me that there is nothing to say? If I remember correctly, your ancestors have always been from Tianmen Mountain, and among them, Lu Hong Ancestor is an old acquaintance with the Ancestor of Stubborn Mountain. Later, when the three attacks on the Heavenly Gate, Lu Hong's ancestor was ambushed and killed by Dayan, and your Lu family was taken advantage of the opportunity to wash the door with blood. The ancestor of the stubborn mountain cherishes the old feelings, and this time he made an exception to accept you as an orphan under the door, although it is not the identity of a disciple, but the teaching and solving doubts are the same as the disciples in person, and they are all taught. Before the retreat, you swore in front of us that as long as you were still there, the gate of the Taixu Palace would be guarded by you, and you would never let the Ancestor of the Stubborn Mountain worry. But now how many years have passed, and it is only more than a thousand years old, and your oath has actually eaten itself! Lu Tai, I, Zhao Yi, want to do it for you, do you still have a conscience?!"

"Conscience......?"

Looking at Zhao Yi with pity, Lu Tai shook his head helplessly, and laughed softly: "Okay, after all I have known each other for so many years, I will go back later, there are some things that are convenient for you to explain clearly, so that you and Taixu Palace can lose clearly." In fact, my ancestor was not a person from Tianmen Mountain, but a silver-armored commander of Dayan. Five thousand years ago, the then Emperor Yanyun failed to attack Tianmen Mountain, and before retreating, he had to grant the emperor's order to order my ancestors to stay incognito in Tianmen Mountain as the eyeliner of Dayan, codenamed Hidden Thorn. For many years after that, the thorn of my Lu family has not been able to nail into the inside of the Taixu Palace, coupled with the existence of Motang, the ancestors can only live cautiously. I thought it would take many, many years to break into the Taixu Palace, but who knew that the yin and yang were wrong, and thousands of years ago, Lu Hong, the then head of the family, accidentally met the Stubborn Mountain Ancestor, one of the three ancestors of Taixu, which gave my Lu family's hand finally a chance to pierce the skin and touch the inside of the Taixu Palace. ”

"In that case, why was Lu Hong ambushed and killed, and your Lu family was also ...... Could it be?!" Zhao Yi looked at Lu Tai in shock, and the blood on his face receded.

Lu Tai cast an appreciative look, nodded and smiled: "No wonder a mere Celestial Character Rank will be taken by the Hundred Tribulation Dao people, Zhao Yi, you are really smart." That's right, it was a play, it was arranged in advance. Lu Hong Ancestor made a big gamble at the cost of his own and the Lu family's demise, betting that the Ancestor of the Naughty Mountain would not sit idly by and let me, an orphan, fend for himself. Old Ancestor Dazhi, he won the bet, and the Old Ancestor of the Naughty Mountain really accepted me to get started, although it is a pity that it is only foster and not a personal disciple, but this is enough. The core of the Taixu Palace, the hidden thorn forged by our Lu family's life, has finally penetrated in. ”

"You're crazy! Lu Hong is crazy, you're crazy, you're all crazy!" Zhao Yi shook his head and muttered.

That's right, Lu Hong is a madman, using his own life and his family's life to get a chance to break into the top of the Taixu Palace, this person can no longer be said to be scheming or ruthless, he is simply a madman.

Lu Tai is also a madman, but the people who died were his family and friends, I heard that when he first came, he didn't eat water and rice for a whole month, and the whole person was like a walking corpse. If these are all deliberately pretended, then Lu Tai is simply a madman among madmen, a madman who is so cold-blooded that even the tragic death of his relatives cannot move him in the slightest.

How hard does this person's heart have to be so that the Dao heart can cultivate all the way to the current state without hindrance.

Is he still human?

"No, it's not that I'm crazy, it's just that you're too naïve. ”

Nodding Zhao Yi, Lu Tai said in the same tone that he had solved his doubts in the past: "The reason why you are so angry is because your heart is longing for the Taixu Palace, and the glory of the Taixu Palace restores everything in your heart." And my Lu family has always been heart-to-heart for Dayan, and the glory of Dayan is also healed for us, you and I are actually the same, but each is its own master. The difference in position makes me a crazy person in your eyes, but if you think about it from my point of view, why don't you think about it in my eyes?"

Zhao Yi's face was bloodshot, and he wanted to refute it angrily, but a voice came from a distance to replace him first.

"You're wrong. ”

Two figures, a man and a woman, floated up, not vigilant, but stood there as usual discussing the Dao Fa, and the male cultivator shook his head in denial with a serious face.

"Hehe, Tan Xiu, Xiaoying, you're here. Familiar with the greeting, Lu Tai did not have the slightest sense of being an enemy on his face.

The two bowed slightly, and the woman named Xiao Ying said softly: "Lu Tai, today, Xiao Ying's title is no longer appropriate, it is better to call me Bu Ying in the future, so as not to make people suspicious." ”

"Whatever you want. ”

Lu Tai smiled and nodded, and then asked Tan Xiu: "You said I was wrong, what do you mean?"

Tan Xiu Zhengse: "Lu Tai, I felt that your Dao was paranoid earlier, and now it seems that this is the case, your Dao heart seems to be round, but in fact there are still dead knots. That's right, the positions are different, and it's true that each is the master, and whoever you hurt no matter what you do is forgivable. But there is one thing you said is not right, in order to enter the Taixu and your Lu family, he did not hesitate to satisfy the bargaining chips of his life, and I will never allow this kind of thing. Presumably, the Elder Ancestor of the Stubborn Mountain has told you this before, you are a person from the Taixu Palace, and you are also a monk, but before that, you should be yourself first, you should be a person, not a tool. ”

Lu Tai disagreed: "Everyone understands what you say, but you have to admit that these are just empty words." How can I be? My Lu family has been the hidden thorn of Dayan since my ancestors, and it has been passed down to my generation. Even if I want to be myself, I still have the entrustment of the ancestors above my head, and the palm of the Dayan Dynasty on top of me. Even if you put that aside, no one can really be themselves. There are still heavens above our heads, and immortals, and many other things that we may not understand now, each of us is actually being fiddled with in or without knowing, we have never really been able to be ourselves, even for a moment, Brother Tan thinks so?"

"You're wrong again. ”

Tan Xiu shook his head: "Lu Tai, I said that you are paranoid, and it is precisely because of this. Indeed, as you said, each of us is indeed being affected by various visible and invisible forces, but that is only a pull, not a fiddle, there is never more than one way, and the right to choose has always been in the hands of each person. You say that the way of heaven is invincible, that immortals and immortals cannot be bullied, and that the emperor's order cannot be violated, but why don't you want to think about who you are? You are a monk! Think about it, what are we practicing for? Is it to conform to the way of heaven, to obey the immortal underworld, and to forge imperial power with blood? No, the reason why we practice is to get rid of this kind of shackles, to become immortals, and to truly gain great freedom!"

Seeing that Lu Tai was thoughtful, Tan Xiu straightened his chest and said loudly: "As the so-called 'Heavenly Dao is hidden in the sky, retrograde cutting down the cave Zhenqiong', my generation's cultivation is between obedience and disobedience. Mortals, either because of their qualifications or for other reasons, only know how to obey. However, we monks are not, obedient but not blind, and have the heart of rebellion, which is why there is a rise of great power from generation to generation, and the true meaning of the Heavenly Dao is constantly being revealed. The way of heaven and the imperial power, which is more important? You have cultivated so far that you even dare to go against the way of heaven, why can't you break the personnel and blindly kneel down to the imperial power in accordance with the order of the heavens?"

Lu Tai's heart moved, and he immediately smiled dumbly: "In this case, this truth can also be placed on you." You say that I obey the mandate of heaven and submit to the imperial power, but why don't you succumb to the shackles of the Taixu Palace? You say that I only know how to obey Dayan, then on the other hand, why do you want to turn your heart to Taixu, leave Taixu Palace and join me Dayan, or be an idle cloud and wild crane without worry, wouldn't it be better?"

Seeing that Tan Xiu frowned and wanted to say again, Lu Tai raised his hand and stopped: "That's it, it's useless to say, you won't turn your back on Taixu, and I won't reverse Dayan, in the end, it's still that sentence, each is its own master." ”

Stretching out his hand to hold Tan Xiu, who was going to persuade again, Bu Ying said solemnly: "Since this is the case, then you can tie your hands and arrest it." It may be possible to fight alone, but with me and Brother Tan joining forces, you will never be able to leave!"

"Hehe, what if you add the old man?"

Behind Lu Tai, an old man with white hair appeared out of thin air and stood with a smile.

Tan Xiu Buying's pupils shrank at the same time, and the latter asked in a condensed voice, "Dare to ask which of the five elders you are?"

"Guess what?" asked Tu Lao with a smile.

After a while, Tan Xiu said slowly: "Among the five elders of Dayan, You Lao Xiu is the weakest, plus the previous formation of the body was destroyed and only the remaining Dao fetus escaped, you can't be him." There are only two people left who have cultivated like you, you are either Wen Lao or Tu Lao!"

"Hehe, old man Turan, I have seen two Taoist friends. ”

Smiling and arching his hand, Tu Lao said hello to the two.
