The silver-white moonlight sprinkled on the Chongxu Ancient Temple, and there were the mournful cries of crickets everywhere. The fragrance of the night filled the air, weaving a soft net that enveloped the entire Taoist temple.

If someone looks outside the mountain gate, they will find that all they come into contact with is something covered with this soft net, not a single grass or tree, it is not as realistic as in the daytime, they all have a vague and empty color, each of which hides its delicate points, keeps its secrets, and makes people have a dreamlike feeling.

Liu Heng and Cheng Lili were tired, the excitement when they first entered the mountain could make them forget their fatigue for a while, but now the excitement gradually faded, and the soreness on the soles of their feet occupied their hearts with a feeling of exhaustion. Although they were curious about why the temple allowed them to stay overnight and provide dinner, they were not in the mood to think about it.

Yawned hastily and hastily ate dinner, each went back to his room, soaked his feet, and slept with his clothes.

Lu Qiushi has not woken up since he fainted on the steps of the door in the afternoon, and Liu Heng and the others were really startled.

An old Taoist priest in the Taoist temple who looked quite influential took his pulse for him, saying that he was just too tired and that there would be no problem with sleeping, so they were relieved.

Now Lu Qiushi is also lying in the wing room in the backyard of the Taoist temple, lying on the bed, snoring loudly, and soaking the mattress on the bed with saliva.

Zhang Panni's spirit is not bad, at this time she is sitting in a quiet room, in front of her stands an old Taoist priest with white hair and beard, he is wearing a cyan robe, his head is tied in a bun, a few strands of white hair hang down from his ears, and three strands of long beard are under him, looking like a fairy wind. This old Taoist is the Taoist priest who gave Lu Qiushi his pulse during the day.

At this time, the old Taoist priest frowned slightly, his eyes were closed, one hand was constantly pinching, and the expression on his face changed with the calculation.

Zhang Panny raised her head, looked at Lao Dao respectfully, and said nothing.

After a long time, the old Taoist priest stopped calculating, sighed lightly, shook his head, opened his eyes, looked at Zhang Panny lovingly, and said, "Nini, you have found a big trouble for your grandfather this time!" ”

This old Taoist priest is the contemporary head of the Zhang family, Zhang Yiwei, and the Taoist name Xiaoyaozi. Zhang Yiwei is seventy-two years old this year, with five sons and three daughters, Zhang Panni, you are the only daughter of his third son, and the only girl in the younger generation of the Zhang family.

Zhang Yiwei settled in Chongxu Ancient View 22 years ago, at that time the Chongxu Ancient View was still relatively dilapidated, the Zhang family donated a lot of money, plus donations from other aspects, and worked together to renovate, so that there was the prototype of today's Chongxu Ancient View.

Zhang Yiwei's status in Chongxu Guguan is quite high, and even the current host is only in his position under his humility.

During the Chinese New Year, Zhang Panny came to Chongxu Guguan and briefly told him about Lu Qiushi's strangeness, which aroused his interest, and he asked Zhang Panny to find a time to bring Lu Qiushi to the temple, so that he could observe it himself.

Today, he then gave Lu Qiushi the opportunity to take the pulse, he carefully probed the veins of Lu Qiushi's body, and then divined a hexagram through the unique hexagram of the Zhang family.

It is precisely for this reason that Lu Qiushi and others can stay in Guanli for free.

"Grandpa, what's going on, have you figured it out, what's going on with him?" Zhang Panny saw that her grandfather had finished calculating, and asked expectantly and nervously.

"Do you like this young man named Lu Qiushi?" After all, Xiaoyaozi is an old and sharp-eyed person, and soon discovered that her granddaughter was different from the Chinese New Year.

During the Chinese New Year, she mentioned Lu Qiushi basically because she was curious and puzzled, Lu Qiushi's identity background and his mana are indeed easy to make people in cultivation curious, but now?

Zhang Penny's expression was slightly strange: "No, I'm not, how can it be." ”

Xiaoyaozi couldn't understand, he sat opposite Zhang Panni, and said: "Nini, let me tell you, don't talk about his background first, just talk about his life, you can't get close to him!" ”

"Why?"

"His life is very hard, he specializes in his loved ones, especially his partner, and if the woman around him is not hard enough, it will be difficult for him to die well." Xiaoyaozi said with a serious face.

Penny Zhang nodded silently.

"Also, do you know where he came from?"

"Grandpa, I don't know. I was about to ask you, which family does his mana belong to, why can't I see through it, and I can't use his charms. ”

"Well, you don't have to think about this, you remember, just stay away from him." Xiaoyaozi's answer was very vague.

Zhang Penny grabbed Xiaoyaozi's sleeve and said coquettishly: "Grandpa, tell me, you also know that my curiosity has always been heavier, if you don't tell me, I will definitely observe him secretly." Tell me, Grandpa. ”

Xiaoyaozi had no choice but to compromise with Zhang Penny. He stroked his beard and said, "Penny, do you remember the origin of our family?" ”

"Where does our family come from? Of course I do! Ziyang real person Zhang Borui is the ancestor of our Zhang family, the originator of the Ziyang School of Taoism Southern Sect," Zhang Panni's face was full of red light, and every time she mentioned her ancestors, she felt extremely proud, "The ancestor died at the age of 100, and he also left the poem "Ode to Autopsy" before he ascended. ”

Xiaoyaozi stood up, walked to the window, and said, "Yes, 'The four great desires are scattered, the floating clouds are empty, one is wonderful, and the Dharma realm is accommodating. 'Nini, do you know what it really means?' ”

"What does it really mean?"

"Yes, the meaning of this poem of the ancestor is profound, and it is recorded in the clan that the ancestor experienced the 'change of escape from the world' when he was young, and the song "Ode to the Corpse" left by the legend when he ascended is a summary of the realization from the 'catastrophe of the world'."

Zhang Panny was puzzled and asked, "Grandpa, what is the 'catastrophe of escape'?" Why haven't you mentioned it before? ”

Xiaoyaozi turned his back to Zhang Panni, casually pushed open the window, looked up at the moon, and sighed: "It was a tragic battle, if it wasn't for that battle, which made the aura in the world wither, how could the current cultivation world be at this point." ”

"Grandpa, you haven't answered my question yet!"

"I thought it was just a legend, but knowing that I saw Lu Qiushi you brought today, I realized that the records in the clan were true." Xiaoyaozi didn't seem to hear Zhang Panny's words, immersed in his own associations, and muttered to himself.

Penny Zhang raised her voice and asked loudly, "Grandpa, you haven't told me what the 'Escape from the World' is!" ”

Xiaoyaozi turned around, looked at Zhang Panni and said, "This is an unpassed secret in the cultivation world, and our Zhang family can only know about the current patriarch and the heir of the patriarch. ”

"Okay, okay, if you don't say it, forget it, as if no one knows. You haven't answered my question yet, what is Lu Qiushi's situation, and who is he? Penny pouted and said unconcernedly.

"People? That Lu Qiushi is no longer a human being in the strict sense! ”
