Chapter 1017: Touching the Mysterious Realm
"Elder Taishang."
Meng Bo bowed respectfully.
"Meng Bo, you go down."
An old, but calm, voice came from the attic.
"Yes."
Meng Bo didn't dare to ask more, so he glanced at Lin Mu and said in a low voice, "You can go in by yourself." ”
Then he slowly retreated.
Outside the bamboo gate, Lin Mu was even more puzzled, only to feel that this matter was strange everywhere.
"Little friend won't come in?"
At this time, the old voice in the bamboo building said with a smile.
Lin Mu didn't hesitate to hear this, and walked towards the bamboo building.
He had already sensed that there was a majestic and endless aura in the bamboo building, and this aura was even stronger than the previous Li Tianqiao.
If you want to deal with such a person, there is no need to go through such a big effort, not to mention that he has not found any malicious intent on the other party now.
The facilities in the bamboo building are very simple, a low table, two futons.
As soon as Lin Mu entered the attic, he had a strange feeling, as if he had entered another world.
Then, his gaze froze on the other side.
An old man, sitting on a futon opposite.
With gray hair, wrinkled skin like pine bark, and cloudy eyes, this is an old man who seems to be dying at any moment.
This old man is undoubtedly the Taishang Elder of the True Building, the old man of the Earth Yuan Master.
"Sit."
A childlike smile appeared on the face of the old man.
Lin Mu showed respect on his face and sat down opposite him.
No matter who the old man was in the past, at least at this moment, the other party showed a kind of sincerity and kindness.
"What do you call a little friend?"
Waiting for Lin Mu to sit down, the old man said with a smile.
"Niu Youlin."
Lin Mu Road.
Unexpectedly, the old man blinked his eyes when he heard this, and shook his head slyly: "You can't fool me, you don't call Niu Youlin, but Lin Mu." ”
Lin Mu was taken aback: "Senior, why do you know?" ”
The old man Guizhen flipped his wrist, and a purple jade carving suddenly appeared in his hand.
Seeing this jade carving, Lin Mu's heart was even more shocked, because this jade carving was the jade carving of his mother Shen Beiwen.
"You must have your mother's jade carving on you too, right?"
The old man said, "I sensed you through this jade carving, and when you first entered Yangling City, I already knew about it, so I asked Meng Bo to pick you up." ”
"Why can't I sense you?"
Lin Mu took out the jade carving of his mother that he treasured, and then he sensed that there was a mysterious connection with the jade carving in the old man's hand.
"Because your realm is not enough."
The old man smiled and said, "I have cultivated the realm a long time ago, and the world around my body is my own, and this jade carving of mine is beside me, which is equivalent to another world, and you naturally can't sense it." ”
"Senior, I see."
Lin Mu was stunned, and then said seriously to the old man, "It's just that in your hands, why is there a statue of my mother, have you seen my mother?" ”
"You don't need to call me senior, my surname is Sun, my name is listed, if you don't think I rely on the old and sell the old, you can call me Sun Lao."
The old man was very kind.
"Elder Sun."
Lin Mu naturally would not refuse.
This true old man made him think of Xing Lao, and he felt a little cordial in his heart.
"Yes, good boy."
The old man held his beard, and then said, "Actually, I was exhausted eighteen years ago, but I met your mother, and with her help, I was able to survive until now. ”
Eighteen years ago!
Lin Mu's heart tightened, he was born not long after that year, and it was also that year that the envoy of the Cadre came and forced his mother Shen Beiwen away.
"It's just that at that time, your mother herself was also in a catastrophe and couldn't help too much, so she left in a hurry."
The old man recalled, "But before she left, she left this jade carving, and explained that this is a piece of jade, and the mother jade is on her son Lin Mu." Now that the mother jade is on you, then who are you not Shen Yatou's son. ”
"It's a pity that I don't have the same means as my mother."
Lin Mu glanced at the old man and knew that the other party had little longevity left, but it was a pity that Shen Beiwen could extend the other party's life for eighteen years, but he didn't have this means.
Perhaps, giving ginseng fruit to the other party will have a certain effect of prolonging life, but in Lin Mu's heart, ginseng fruit is not only a fruit, but also a wise and living partner, no different from people.
He can't kill one person in order to save another.
And there was nothing else he could do.
"Origin and extinction, nothing needs to be forced."
The old man looked calm, "I have lived for more than 3,000 years, and I have seen the prosperity of the world, the ebb and flow of the tide, and I have no emotions that I am unwilling to regret." If you insist on saying that there is something that you can't let go, then there is only the True Building. ”
"What's more, I should have died eighteen years ago, it was your mother who allowed me to prolong my life for eighteen years, and I was able to make more arrangements, even if after I died, although the Guizhen Building would fall, at least it could continue."
"The younger generations are weak, and if they don't have the protection of the True Building today, I'm afraid they will all be in trouble, and they will be even more powerless to help the True Building."
Lin Mu said helplessly.
The road of martial arts is like flowing water.
The Spirit Martial Star is a pond, the Sin Star Domain is a lake, and this Martial God Continent is the sea.
He is a big fish in ponds and lakes, but in the sea, he is a small fish that can't make many waves.
"You don't have to help anything, I see you today, one is to meet the son of the old man, and the other is the kindness of Shen Yatou back then, I can't repay her, I can only implement it on you."
The old man laughed.
"The mother of the family must act out of her own heart, not to ask for something in return, the kindness of the old grandson, the younger generation understands it."
Lin Mu naturally wouldn't do that kind of retribution, not to mention that the favor was not given by him, but by his mother Shen Beiwen.
As a child, if you only want not to fall into the prestige of your parents, how can you squander the grace of your parents.
"Child, don't be so serious, take it easy, smile more, how beautiful the world is."
The old man said mischievously.
The corners of Lin Mu's mouth twitched, many times, the old man is like a child, this sentence is really true.
"The path of martial arts, you have to rely on yourself, so I won't give you much help, let alone pull out the seedlings to help you grow, and improve your cultivation."
The old man continued to smile and said, "What I can give you is some insights and experiences on the martial arts path, whether you can gain something or not, you have to rely on your own understanding." ”
"Child, do you know where the word 'return to truth' came from in my Dao number?"
"Please advise Elder Sun."
Lin Mu arched his hand, and thought in his heart that you didn't ask knowingly, I just came to the Martial God Continent, and it was the first time I came to Yangling City, how would I know how your Dao number came from.
"The return to truth comes from a stone tablet."
The old man said, "Originally, I was just an ordinary man who couldn't practice, until I was eighty years old, and I picked up an ancient stone tablet by chance, and the word 'return to the truth' was engraved on the stone tablet. ”
"I saw that this stele was good, so I took it home, but I didn't expect that my body became healthier and stronger, and I also had the ability to practice."
