"Hmm, I'm not dead?infirmary?" Zuo Xingguo woke up and the first thing he did was to check his physical condition, he vaguely remembered that he was lying next to the nine red trees in the ancient cave before he fell unconscious, but now he was lying in the inexplicable infirmary, and his body seemed to be much better, at least the "lifeline" behind him seemed to suddenly disappear in a flash, which made him feel a lot clearer.

"Xiaoyou, are you better?" A low voice that seemed to come out of the throat of the speaker with all his strength really startled Zuo Xingguo, who had just woken up.

Looking for prestige, Zuo Xingguo saw a lifeless old man behind a ventilator, his face was as old as the skin of a dead tree, his back was stiff, but his cloudy eyes shone with an amazing look, as if there was a divine sun hidden inside.

"Much better!" After Zuo Xingguo looked at the old man, he couldn't help but subconsciously nodded in response, he just saw a kind of divine majesty in the old man's eyes, and even a hint of elusiveness.

"Old man, are you ......?" Zuo Xingguo questioned in his heart, he knew that this place was not something that ordinary people could easily enter and exit, and those who could usually come here were one or two so-called "acquaintances".

"At the end of the old and decayed road, see you well!" the old man slowly said his name, but his tone was still very low, as if he was saying it with the last breath of his life.

After Zuo Xingguo heard the old man say his Dao name, Dusk seemed to think of something, and he spoke out in surprise and asked, "Old man, are you a master sent from above?"

The old man just wanted to speak, but he felt a blockage in his chest, "cough cough ......" The old man opened his mouth but coughed violently, and his rickety body curled up together, his white hair and beard were scattered, and he looked like he was aging dozens of years in an instant.

After coughing violently for a while, the old man seemed to be able to be blown away by a gust of wind and weakened his thin body, curled up into a ball after coughing, and after feeling a little better, the old man slowly got up, and there was still a little unwiped blood foam at the corner of his mouth.

"Old man, do you want me to show you?" Zuo Xingguo said and walked over, because he had followed an old Chinese medicine doctor when he was young, and whenever there were many patients and the master was too busy to take his hand, he would always help see some common diseases and catch medicines, so he learned some fur, which would have the meaning of showing the old man.

"It's okay, I'm getting older, Xiaoyou's kindness is appreciated!" the old man bowed slightly, as if he was affirming Zuo Xingguo's kindness.

"Little friend, have you ever been in contact with strange things like spirit corpses?"

The old man coughed, and then asked Zuo Xingguo, who was full of concern in front of him, with curiosity.

"Hmm?...... No!" Zuo Xingguo felt very puzzled, and he didn't know why the old man would ask such a strange question.

"Oh?" the old man didn't say much, just let out a curious interjection.

After being silent for a long time, the old man suddenly seemed to remember something, and said to Zuo Xingguo inexplicably: "Little friend, you don't have any weird behaviors on weekdays, right?"

"No!" Zuo Xingguo said in a negative voice, as if he also understood the meaning of the old man's inquiry at this time.

The two were silent for a while, and just as Zuo Xingguo was about to ask the old man some questions about him, the door was pushed open from the outside, and the two who came in were the team leader and the deputy group.

When he gestured to the old man with a slight bow, a trace of doubt flashed in the eyes of the team leader and the deputy group at the same time, but they quickly covered up the past.

Walking up to Zuo Xingguo, the team leader asked, "How do you feel?" As soon as he opened his mouth, he hurriedly asked with concern, obviously very concerned about Zuo Xingguo's physical condition.

"I'm in good health, and I care about it!" said Zuo Xingguo's hippie smile and began to become unorthodox.

"Stinky boy!" the team leader patted Zuo Xingguo on the shoulder, scolded happily, and nodded to the deputy group next to him.

After asking Zuo Xingguo, the team leader and the deputy group looked respectful, and after holding hands with the old man and making a Taoist greeting form, they began to talk with the old man seriously and respectfully.

"Master, is the situation okay?" the team leader turned his head to glance at Zuo Xingguo, his concern overflowing, and asked cautiously.

"Hmm...... At present, Xiaoyou's situation should be fine, but everything in the future is not so easy to say!"

The old man looked worried, and after thinking about it again, he still told the situation truthfully, and after speaking, he glanced at Zuo Xingguo with his spare eyes.

"Master, what do you say?" the group leader fell into deep thought after hearing this, and the deputy group on the side asked anxiously, the worry in his eyes could be seen at a glance.

The old man did not rush to answer, but instead looked at Zuo Xingguo behind the two of them, his eyes were kind, and he nodded while looking at it.

Zuo Xingguo, who was standing, was full of questions, and he was still wondering what the old man was going to do? Just now he said that his illness was serious, but now that he was looking at him like this, could it be that his condition was strange, or something else?

Anyway, Zuo Xingguo's heart was confused by the old man's scrutiny, and a slight sense of weirdness suddenly arose in his heart, as if something big was going to happen to him.

Sure enough, after the old man looked at it, the words that came out of his mouth really shocked Zuo Xingguo, and the team leader and deputy team on the side widened their eyes in surprise, and they could almost stuff an egg in their mouths.

"I want to accept Xiaoyou as an apprentice, I don't know if Xiaoyou is willing?"

"Let me become a monk?" Zuo Xingguo didn't even think about this question, and countless questions emerged in his heart for a while, why did the old man take a fancy to him and let him become a monk?

Although he had already guessed in his heart that he would be surprised, Zuo Xingguo was still stunned by the old man's words, and subconsciously glanced at the team leader and deputy group on the side, and stood there at a loss.

"Little friend, are you willing to worship the old man and practice the way?"

It seemed that the old man thought that what he said was not clear enough, so he raised his voice, looked at Zuo Xingguo with kind eyebrows and asked again.

"This ...... Forehead ...... "Zuo Xingguo is in a dilemma, the old man in front of him should be a master who rescued himself, and he is still sent from above, will his refusal have any impact on the organization, and besides, people are obviously raising their identity and giving themselves face, and he speculates that it should be related to his own strange disease, how should this be?"

Looking at Zuo Xingguo's dilemma, the old man seemed to understand a little, laughed, stroked his beard with his hand, like a bitter chrysanthemum blooming, full of smiles, and said: "Don't be embarrassed, little friend, the cultivation is the most careful, if there is a trace of concern buried in the place of entering the Tao, then the consequences in the future are unimaginable!"

Zuo Xingguo heard the old man's words, and his heart was even more unsound, and it happened that at this time, the team leader on the side interjected and said: "Young people do things, sometimes they don't have to look left and right, they are afraid of wolves and tigers, and if they want to do it, they will do it bravely, as long as it does not harm the society and the people!"

After a pause, the team leader thought of something again, and added: "You don't have to worry about everything here! Take care of yourself is the best explanation for the organization!"

After the team leader finished speaking, Zuo Xingguo glanced at him gratefully, he was no longer worried about what he was most worried about, but now there was one last wish left, thinking of this, he looked at the deputy group intentionally or unintentionally.

The deputy group seemed to be aware, when Zuo Xingguo looked in the direction where the deputy group was standing, the deputy group also happened to meet Zuo Xingguo's gaze, the two looked at each other, the deputy group nodded slightly, and glanced inadvertently in a direction in the distance, and then whispered to the team leader for a moment, as if discussing something, and finally nodded affirmatively, Zuo Xingguo nodded again and again after looking at it, and was grateful in his heart.

All the things in his heart have been settled, Zuo Xingguo bowed heavily to the old man, very respectful, and said: "I am willing to worship the master at the end of the Tao as a teacher, enter the Tao and cultivate myself, and please accept the disciple's worship!"

"Oooo

Kneeling down and kowtowing three times, when Zuo Xingguo got up, there was faint blood on his forehead, and the master bowed his head slightly in satisfaction.

"From now on, when you enter my door, then there should be a Tao number, and the master's generation belongs to the last generation, which is to take the meaning of the way of the end of the world, as for you, ......"

Frowning and thinking for a long time, Dao Mo waved his sleeves, as if he had made a lot of determination, and said boldly: "That's it, there is no depth in the Tao, all living beings and all things are reincarnated, and they should all start from the beginning, and you will start from the beginning of the Tao!"

"Thank you Master for the number!" Zuo Xingguo was very grateful, and bowed deeply to the end of the master's path.

"From now on, you and I will travel through the mountains and rivers and visit the old sites of the ancient sites, just to trace the footprints of the Tao and feel the power of the Tao, are you willing?"

"Yes!"

"Embark on the path of cultivation, and then you can see the scenery that mortals can't see, appreciate the excitement that ordinary people can't appreciate, and bear the pressure that ordinary people can't bear, are you willing?"

"Yes!"

"The path of cultivation is extremely difficult, and the future is not very bright, and it still requires a hundred or even a thousand times the hard work of the cultivators to get the benefits of a grain of rice, are you willing?"

"Yes!"

……

Quietly walked out of the cave, as if he had just come to the ancient cave, Zuo Xingguo was still cautious when he left, not taking away a trace of fetters, before leaving, the team leader and the deputy group only smiled slightly, and Zuo Xingguo felt much better.

Yanshun a small path in the mountains, out of a few miles of choice, Zuo Xingguo stood on a mountain rock, looking at the ancient cave in the distance where he had lived for about five years, his heart couldn't help but ripple a trace of reluctance, the ripples became bigger and bigger, and his whole heart couldn't help but tremble.

"Five years! Goodbye Gudong, goodbye brothers!"

Before leaving, Zuo Xingguo left a note in front of his friend's fat and thin head, and he didn't have time to tell him, remembering all kinds of interesting things between the three of them in the past, and the ripples in his heart were even more magnificent.

This place has become his second home, and at this moment, he is about to leave for the other side, and he can't help but respond to an old saying: the emotions of people who leave home are extraordinarily rich!

"Let's go, maybe you'll have a chance to come back in the future!" Master Dao Mo glanced faintly in the direction of the ancient cave, and said thoughtfully.

In the ancient cave, in the coffin between the nine red trees, a pitch-black beam of light suddenly flashed on the surface of the coffin and disappeared into the coffin.
