The starry sky is gone, the long river disappears, Guo Cheng sits back on the futon, the monk is not by his side and returns to his original position, and the surrounding scenery is not white, returning to the appearance of Guo Cheng when he first arrived.

"Do you remember the feeling you felt when you entered the river of time, and you were able to enter alone?" the monk asked.

Guo Cheng nodded, there were many questions to ask, but he was stopped by the monk.

For the understanding of the long river of time, Lao Tzu recorded it in several codexes, and went back to the original time to ask the current abbot for it. The curse on your body is very difficult, although Lao Tzu is not in the Venerable Realm, but with the power of time, it is no worse than the Venerable Realm, and the best proof is that you can call out the name of the Venerable Realm during the Tribulation Period. Even so, Lao Tzu could only suppress it slightly, and he couldn't do anything to come to the True Venerable Realm. ”

"After all, the Spirit Slayer Realm is the great enemy of the Heavens and Ten Thousand Realms, so it is easy not to reveal that you are under the curse of the Spirit Slaying Realm without being completely sure. I'm afraid that your existence will be wiped out along with the curse. The monk looked tired and waved his hand, the stone Buddha statue and the futon were on the power of time, which was to send Guo Cheng back to the time that belonged to him.

"Did you consume too much in order to come to me?" was fine before, and suddenly wanted to send himself back, Guo Chengyou was not stupid, and hurriedly asked.

"Don't care, Lao Tzu Shouyuan is less than half a month, and the future is arranged, just waiting for that moment to come. Breaking the gap of 2,000 years of time, it was just a few days in advance, and Lao Tzu had already seen it. The monk smiled and said, at this moment he did not have the slightest arrogance, and his face was full of peace.

"With your magical powers, isn't it easy to increase your longevity for a few years?" Guo Cheng asked urgently.

"Hahaha, what you kid can think of, Lao Tzu has already done it, it is the limit to live for more than a thousand years, Lao Tzu has lived long enough. The monk laughed.

"Please accept Guo Cheng's worship. Guo Cheng's eyes were complicated, and while he was still in this time period, he bowed to the monks with the etiquette of worshipping the teacher.

This trip seemed to be nothing, but it was actually a demonstration of the use of the power of time in front of Guo Cheng, which gave Guo Cheng's cultivation a direction. He also personally led Guo Cheng into the long river of time, so that he officially stepped into the Avenue of Time. In Guo Cheng's view, a monk is enough to be his mentor and is also qualified to accept this worship.

"Boy, the stone Buddha statue and futon have been sent to you, and the current abbot dares to stop him, so let him go to see the last page of the fourth abbot's record. ”

Guo Cheng's figure always maintained a bowing posture before leaving this time period, and he also heard the last shout from the monk.

Guo Cheng disappeared, only the futon and the stone Buddha statue remained, which was originally an item from this time period.

Looking at the empty futon above it, the monk smiled: "Lao Tzu just doesn't want to be a monk, and he has never taken a monk as a disciple in his life. ”

Stepping forward to sit on the futon, the monk shouted: "Come on, bring the abbot record belonging to Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu has not seen it yet, and he will leave a paragraph on it before he dies." ”

The abbot's record is to record the life of the abbot of Tongjie Temple from the eyes of others, just like the history books that record the emperor in ordinary times, under normal circumstances, the people who are recorded cannot touch it at all.

The monk waited on the futon for half an hour before a young monk came running with a thick book, and the monk of Tongjie Temple made a decision after some controversy.

The young monk was the fifth abbot of Tongjie Temple, who was personally elected by the monks, but at the moment he didn't look at him, took the book from the young monk's hand and turned directly to the last page, and picked up the pen and wrote in the blank space.

The young monk stood not far away and watched quietly, seeing that the monk's appearance was slowly changing from middle age to old age, and his cultivation was also decreasing.

When the monk finished writing the last word, he was already an old man full of wrinkles, and while putting down the pen in his hand, he grinned at the open space in front of him, and slowly closed his eyes, no longer having any life.

Before meeting Guo Cheng, the monk still had fifteen days to live. took Guo Cheng into the long river of time, and after he came back, there were only three days left in Shouyuan. At the time of writing, he poured the power of time into the stone Buddha statue and futon, and even the last three days of longevity disappeared.

The young monk watched the fourth abbot leave, and stood there for a long time, when he stepped forward and gently took the abbot's record that had not yet been closed and saw the undried text:

About 2,000 years later, a little white face named Guo Cheng will come to the temple, a man who is more handsome than a woman, and has the power of time. It is the only disciple that Lao Tzu received over time, and he has nothing to do with this temple, so he can't force himself to become a disciple of this temple. The stone Buddha statue and futon were gifts from Lao Tzu to his disciples, and they were given together with the codex left by Lao Tzu - the fourth abbot of Tongjie Temple.

The young monk closed the abbot's record and left the place with the dead old body.

After a short period of dizziness, Guo Cheng slowly opened his eyes, he was still sitting on the futon under the stone Buddha statue, and the ancestor of the Jiuxiao Sect and the current abbot of Tongjie Temple were looking at him not far away.

It felt like a dream, and Guo Cheng himself was not very sure if he had really returned to two thousand years ago, and had a conversation with a monk, and slowly got up and walked towards the two not far away.

"But what do you feel?" Old Ancestor asked, Guo Cheng's situation just now was like an epiphany, but there was a layer of invisible force blocking it, and Old Ancestor couldn't really see it.

Guo Cheng shook his head and didn't answer immediately, and asked the abbot: "Master, the fourth abbot of your temple is recorded, can there be some special content recorded on the last page?"

"Can the little benefactor be more specific?" the abbot's expression was calm, and his tone was quite calm.

"For example, this stone Buddha statue and futon. ”

The abbot looked at Guo Cheng carefully and asked again, "Can the little benefactor be famous?"

Guo Cheng hesitated for a moment and said truthfully: "Guo Cheng." ”

"It is indeed a little white face that looks more handsome than a woman, and even so, the stone Buddha statue and the futon and these codexes can be taken away directly by the little benefactor. The fourth abbot regarded the little benefactor as a disciple, and these were gifts from the master to the disciples, and one was kept by the temple. The abbot said after a long silence.

Guo Cheng had long been accustomed to the various titles brought by his appearance, and saluted the abbot with his fists.

"Little donor, although the fourth abbot left a message that you are his disciple and have nothing to do with this temple, I want to say a word here. In the future, if the temple encounters a disaster of annihilation, for the sake of the fourth abbot, the small donor can help the temple once within his ability. The abbot said.

"Definitely. Guo Cheng solemnly clenched his fists.

"One more thing, a little advice from me. The fourth abbot once said that he had gone back in time and seen the troubles of the previous abbots, and when the little benefactor had the same ability, he might as well go back to the day when the fourth abbot died to see him off. ”

Guo Cheng didn't speak this time, just nodded.

The two of them didn't stay long in Tongjie Temple, and the stone Buddha statue and futon couldn't be stored in the storage bag due to the power of a lot of time, and they were floated by the ancestor of the Jiuxiao Sect.

Seeing the two of them take off into the air, the abbot said to himself, "It's time to decide on the sixth abbot." ”

He is the fifth abbot of Tongjie Temple, the young monk who saw the fourth abbot pass away 2,000 years ago.

"What's the matter? How did you owe Tongjie Temple a favor to the Heavenly Realm, have you found a solution to the sequelae?"

"When I sat on the futon, my consciousness came to two thousand years ago, and I saw the fourth abbot..."Guo Cheng slowly said his previous experience, and he said it in detail, except for concealing the curse of the Spirit Slayer Realm.

"In this way, I really owe a lot of favors, and I will pay it back when I have the ability. After hearing this, the ancestor said a word and returned to the Nine Heavens Sect at full speed.

After Mao Rui took the task and left the sect, he used the Tengyun Step to fly in the air, and with each step, a cloud exploded under his feet. Looking from the ground, there is really a feeling of a fairy in the eyes of mortals.

This mission is quite far away, located in the northeast of the land of the earth, near the edge, starting from the land sect located in the southwest of the land of the earth, almost across the entire land of the earth.

The content of the mission is not very clear, saying that there is an underground force there, and it is suspected that a large number of evil cultivators have gathered, and the person who receives the task is required to investigate. The mission conditions are also lenient, allowing disciples to act within the limits of their abilities based on their own judgment.

The rewards are not low, there are spirit stones and contribution points, and they are listed as a special task on the first floor.

Mao Rui currently has no shortage of contribution points, and there are so many spirits that there is nowhere to spend, just because there are a large number of evil cultivators to kill.

What is an evil cultivator? It is a monk who has a relatively special way of cultivating, but because of the exercises or other reasons, his style of doing things is rather harmful in the eyes of others, so he has become a heresy.

It's not that he hates evil cultivators, he can't be eradicated when he sees it, and Mao Rui is not the hot-blooded young man who can't figure it out. In fact, Mao Rui is even more evil than evil cultivators in many things, such as refining blood guards with human corpses, and detaining souls to erase sanity, and other behaviors, which are evil cultivators in the eyes of the majority of monks.

However, if you don't hate ghosts or ghosts, you don't hate them, but it doesn't prevent Mao Rui from killing them, so who calls him lack merit? A person who does a lot of things that hurt heaven and reason like evil cultivators, killing is tantamount to eliminating harm, and he can accumulate a lot of merit, and his virtue will not be reduced because of indiscriminate killing.

It is the fastest and most secure way to accumulate merit that Mao Rui has discovered.

After flying for two hours, Mao Rui, who felt bored, changed his posture, no longer walked forward, changed to a dog planing position, and rowed the air forward.

Every time the palm of the hand is swiped, clouds will appear and explode, and the speed will not decrease at all. It is worthy of being the founder of Tengyun Step, and he has been able to change the way of moving forward at will. Not to mention dog planing, breaststroke is also fine.

"That senior who is secretly monitoring my every move, I know you're here, why don't you come out to meet?It's been nearly a month, how boring, let's talk and chat?" Mao Rui shouted in all directions.

After waiting for a while, Mao Rui was still the only one in the air, no one showed up and no sound came out.
