He came up to me and asked me with a smile, "Are you the left head of the right line?" ”

I bowed to him with my fists in motion, and asked very respectfully, "What do you call your seniors?" ”

"I'm just an idle crane on the North Mountain," the old man smiled kindly, "Call me whatever you want." Hehe, the soul sealing talisman of the left head is still a little worse than the head of Chai back then. ”

As he spoke, he glanced into my pocket.

But how did he know I had a soul talisman in my pocket? I did it deliberately, as long as I don't bless the mental power on the talisman, the spiritual rhyme will not emanate.

I asked him, "Do your seniors recognize my master?" ”

"I know him, but he doesn't know me," said the Taoist, "though he has never been masked, but I know more about him than he does." ”

After saying that, he beckoned behind me again: "Eagle, you've made enough trouble, it's time to come back." ”

As I spoke, I heard a fluttering sound behind me, and then a brown shadow passed over my head, and when it landed on Lao Dao's shoulder, I saw that it was a small eagle the size of a fist.

The old Taoist glanced at it and said, "Go ahead." The eaglet flapped its wings and flew away.

Then the Taoist asked me again, "You came here for a ghost fetus?" ”

The ghost fetus refers to Luo Youfang.

I nodded and said yes.

The Taoist smiled at me: "There are many people here, you can come with me." ”

When I left with the Taoist, I looked back at the entrance of the Cuiyun Cave, Liu Shangang, who was standing there before, had disappeared, I thought, Liu Shangang who appeared in front of us just now, was probably the little eagle that was conjured up, it seemed to be a monster with a high cultivation, but I didn't feel the demonic energy from it.

I was a little puzzled, and wanted to ask what the eagle was, but I was not familiar with the old man in front of me, and I was not sure whether to ask or not.

After he took us out of Cuiyun Cave, he walked all the way to the forest, obviously he had left the Shangqing Palace, but the surrounding was still fragrant mist, I couldn't see the road at all, but from time to time I saw some old trees growing in the sky, only to know that we were walking towards the deep forest.

This section of the road seems to be very long, when we arrived at the Shangqing Palace, it was obviously morning, but as we walked, the sun set, I didn't feel long, and I didn't feel tired, but the sun had indeed set.

The night passed, the sun rose in the east, rising and falling, I don't know how many days I walked, but I still didn't feel tired, if it wasn't for the change of the sun, in my perception, the time had only passed for more than ten minutes.

It wasn't until the incense mist dissipated and a wooden house rose from the ground that the old Taoist stopped and said, "It's here." ”

At this time, Li Renfeng suddenly exclaimed in the back: "Silent Taoist!" ”

The old Taoist and I turned our heads to look at Li Renfeng at the same time, and the Taoist smiled and said, "You have insight." ”

Li Renfeng pointed at the old Taoist and said to me with a shocked face: "The Taoist is silent, and if he speaks, the world will be chaotic." This is written in the ancient books of our Soul Village! ”

Is there such an ancient book in the Soul Village? How I don't remember.

The old Taoist sighed: "The world is in chaos? Who made this rumor? Haven't you heard that the son is silent and strange? It's not that I'm silent, it's a strange force, so I can't speak. ”

As he spoke, he turned his gaze to me again: "Does the left master believe that mortals can also live forever?" ”

I thought about it for a moment and said, "Can a person who can live forever still be considered a mortal?" ”

Lao Dao looked at me with a very surprised look: "Do you also think that kind of person is not a mortal?" If not mortal, what is he? ”

I shook my head, "I don't know, it's probably a different creature." ”

He asked me, "Listening to the tone of the left master, could it be that you have also seen immortal mortals?" ”

I said, "I haven't seen it, but there was a time when I was cursed by the evil god, and in the memory of the evil god, I saw an old man, and when he first appeared in the memory of the evil god, he looked like an old man in his sixties and seventies, but after a few years, he was much younger, and he looked like he was in his early fifties. ”

The old Taoist asked me, "Is the person you saw in the illusion similar to the person who asked you to come here?" ”

It was my turn to be amazed, and I looked at the old Taoist and nodded. He smiled, put his fingers together, and stretched out his arm towards the door: "I have a good tea here, let's talk while drinking." ”

I arched my hand at him and motioned for him to go first.

The old Taoist was stunned for a moment, and shook his head with a smile: "I have heard that Shouzheng is a free and natural hero, why is the left head so rigid?" ”

I also smiled: "Although there are few rules in our line, it is not completely unruly, you are a senior, and I still have to do some rules on the surface." ”

He sighed helplessly and opened the door and entered the house.

I followed him into the door and saw Liu Shangang sitting on a mahogany chair munching melon seeds.

"Why are you here?" Liu Shangang waved at me and asked me.

I stared at him for a moment and asked, "How did you get here?" ”

"This old man asked me to come and wait for you, I didn't want to follow him, but he slapped me and stunned me, and when I woke up, it was here." Liu Shangang said this, but there was an indifferent expression on his face.

was slapped unconscious, can he still have the heart to eat melon seeds here? This is not like Liu Shangang's character, nor does it conform to his usual behavior pattern.

I couldn't help frowning, this Liu Shangang in front of me can't be fake, right?

Probably seeing that my eyes became confused, Liu Shangang looked at my face and asked me very suspiciously: "Why do you look at me with such eyes?" ”

I was about to speak, when the old Taoist patted me on the shoulder and said, "Although seeing is not necessarily believing, what is in front of you is not necessarily imaginary. He is indeed your friend, and it took a lot of effort to invite him. ”

I don't know why, but when the old Taoist spoke, I felt that I should believe him.

Liu Shangang shouted on the side: "Please use this word inappropriately, it's obviously tied up." Hey, your melon seeds taste good, are there any? ”

Lao Dao took out a bamboo basket from under the table, stuffed it into Liu Shangang's arms, took out hot water and a tea tray, and brewed tea.

I usually drink some tea at home, every time I make tea, the hot water enters the teapot at least a few minutes before the tea leaves can be brewed, but Lao Dao just poured the hot water, the tea leaves will disperse, a few seconds of work all sink to the bottom, the soft tea fragrance suddenly filled the whole room.

This tea must taste very good, but I didn't have the heart to drink it, and when Lao Dao sat down, I immediately asked, "Have you seen Luo Youfang before?" ”

As I spoke, I secretly glanced at Li Renfeng, who kept staring at the old Taoist, looking like he was wandering, as if he didn't notice what I said.

Lao Dao picked up the teacup, took a sip, sighed "good tea", and then said to me: "I have had several encounters with Luo Youfang, hehe, this child is kind-hearted, but he is also a poor person on an evil road." ”

I then asked, "Where is he now?" ”

"The secret of heaven must not be revealed," Lao Dao said with a smile: "He is your fate, you have to find it yourself." Left master, do you think that if you are immortal, will you become a god or a demon? ”

I thought about it for a moment and said, "It's definitely going to be a demon." ”

Lao Dao put down the teacup and looked at me very seriously: "Why did you become a demon?" ”

I said, "If life is infinite, I think, I may have more desires, I always feel that I can get more, I will want more, life is infinite, desires are infinite, so I will definitely become a demon." ”

Lao Dao pondered for a moment, and then asked me, "If you are dedicated to seeking the Tao, will you also become a demon?" ”

Me: "My master said that this thing cannot be seen or touched, and it cannot be forced. I think that if I prolong my life infinitely with the purpose of seeking the Tao, and seek the Tao, it will probably become an obsession, and if the obsession is too deep, I will still become a demon. Hehe, in fact, until now, I don't know what the so-called 'Tao' is. ”

"Well, there is a way on the left," the old Taoist stroked the gray beard on his chin and said, "This is a good name, you don't need to seek the Tao, because the Tao is in you, but mortals are mortals after all, and there is a Tao but you don't know it." Haha, Li Zifu really beat me. ”

I heard his words in a fog, I don't know what he wants to express, and he mentioned my first ancestor, could it be that he is also an immortal person, and he knows the first ancestor?

However, I have a hunch that if I ask him if he is a Shizu, he will probably still reply to me with those words: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed." ”

At this time, the old Taoist said to me again: "If you say that you become a god, the poor Taoist will definitely drive you out." Do you know Xu Fu? ”

When he spoke, his thinking jumped so much that I almost didn't follow his train of thought, and after a long time I came back to my senses and asked him: "Xu Fu, is it the Xu Fu of the Qin Dynasty?" ”

Lao Dao nodded: "It's him, Yingzheng asked him to find immortals and ask for medicine, but he fled to the East China Sea with three thousand boys and girls, and the world thought that he failed to find medicine, so he took this opportunity to escape from the Central Plains." Hehe, Xu Fu did find the secret of immortality, but like you, he thought that mortals would become demons if they were immortal, so he secretly hid the prescription and stayed away from Yingzheng. ”

Liu Shangang exclaimed: "Is there really an elixir?" ”

Lao Dao probably didn't like to deal with him, and continued to say to me: "Back then, someone had this prescription. Speaking of which, this person still has some relationship with your Soul Village, and your Tiangang swordsmanship that keeps the right line was created by him. ”

I blurted out: "Zhou Lie? But he ...... Isn't it dead? ”

"He voluntarily gave up his immortality," Lao Dao said, "I can't guess this person's mind, he is not like a mortal, and I can't look at him with the eyes of a mortal." Although Zhou Lie was the only one who had taken the elixir, for thousands of years, there was one immortal besides him. ”

I asked tentatively, "Luo Zhongxing?" ”

"Clever man," said the old man with a smile, "it seems that you know more things now than I expected." ”

Although I had thought more than once that Luo Zhongxing might be immortal, I was still taken aback when Lao Dao said this.

This kind of thing of immortality, but it is against the principles of heaven, he said that Xu Fu found the secret of immortality, to be honest, I don't believe it, he said that Zhou Lie can live forever, but Zhou Lie is dead, there is no proof of death, and no one can prove that the old words are true. But Luo Zhongxing is very likely to be alive now, and the funeral religion has been active frequently in recent years, and many clues related to the funeral religion seem to prove that Luo Zhongxing is still alive.

I looked at the old man without saying a word, waiting for him to continue, but he drank his tea slowly and methodically, and did not speak for a long time.
