Chapter 809: A Big Hidden Danger
I can't see the old fairy's face, so I don't know his expression now. But I always felt a little uneasy in my heart, and although the old fairy's tone was kind, I felt that he had some conspiracy.
Chen Wen is now enveloped in ecstasy. I can't care about anything. Just kowtowed, and asked respectfully: "What is the immortal number of the old immortal?" ”
The old fairy smiled and said, "I am a good word for the world." ”
Chen Wen showed a look of admiration and complimented: "Judging from the old immortal's Dao number, your old man is a great savior who is compassionate and purifies all sentient beings." ”
The old immortal accepted Chen Wen's praise in its entirety, and then said to him: "From today on, you will be a Jishi. No matter what difficulties you encounter, what bad people you meet. Keep a kind heart and help the weak. ”
Chen Wen replied respectfully: "I will definitely bless the world and do more good deeds." will not insult the name of the old fairy "Jishi". ”
The old fairy said a little unhappily: "You are wrong, the name "Jishi", from now on, is not mine. It's yours. You get outside, remember. No matter who you meet or what happens, you must insist that you are a Jishi, otherwise, you will be discovered by the immortals of the upper realm and die immediately. ”
Chen Wen hurriedly replied: "Yes, yes, I am Jishi." I must have a good heart and live up to the expectations of the old immortals. ”
The old fairy happily replied, "The son can be taught." ”
He floated in mid-air and thought for a moment. Then he said to me, "You're from Huaicheng?" ”
I nodded: "That's right, I'm from Huaicheng." ”
The old fairy nodded: "The prosperous world produces mediocre officials, and the troubled times produce heroes." You're not bad, either. ”
I laughed dryly: "Is it a prosperous or troubled time now?" Am I a mediocrity or a hero? ”
The old immortal sighed: "Of course it's a troubled time now. You're a hero, too. ”
I muttered quietly, "Is it a troubled time now?" At least there are no natural disasters**, and everyone is okay. Am I a hero? My little bit of Taoism doesn't seem to be qualified. ”
I spoke in a very small voice, because it was meant to be spoken to myself, to myself. But the ears of the old fairy are very smart. He smiled and said, "When I say troubled times, I don't just mean the world. And the standard of a hero is not measured by force, otherwise, any reckless man can be a hero. ”
I smiled: "Then I thank the old fairy for the compliment." ”
The old fairy nodded and said to me, "You three come with me." I have something to say to you. ”
In fact, even if the old fairy doesn't invite us, we have to interrogate him, because we are so curious about his origins.
The old immortal turned around and walked towards the darkness, while Tianlu knelt on the ground again and sang loudly: "Congratulations to the old immortal." ”
We followed the old fairy into the darkness. He made a few cuts out of thin air on the wall. A door appeared above the wall. He pushed the door open and said, "Three, please come in." ”
This kind of spell is not an orthodox spell in the Dao Gate, and it can basically be classified in the side door and left way. But when the old fairy came out, it only made people feel magical.
We walked through the small door and found a stone chamber empty of nothing but a few futons.
The old fairy pointed to the futon and said, "You're welcome, please sit down." The old man usually stayed in this stone room, and he hadn't gone out for many years. ”
We all sat on the futon, looking at him for some reason, we had a lot to ask him, but we didn't know which one to ask first.
Fortunately, the old fairy was understanding, smiled at us, and said, "You must be curious about my identity, right?" ”
Xue Qian laughed dryly and said, "Yes, we are very curious. I don't know what kind of immortal the old immortal is. ”
The old immortal smiled and said, "What kind of immortal am I, as long as you take a look, you will understand immediately." ”
Speaking of this, the old immortal took off the black robe on his body.
When we saw the contents under the black robe, we were immediately stunned.
There is no body underneath the black robe. There was only a cloud of black smoke.
Formless and insubstantial, like smoke and fog.
My blood suddenly surged, and I shouted: "People in the underworld, we have been fooled." ”
I turned around and tried to run, but the door was gone. Behind us has become a stone wall.
My back was leaning against the stone wall, my eyes staring at the old fairy, and I couldn't stop panting.
The old fairy laughed: "You were praised as a hero just now, why did you turn around and run away when you saw me?" It's rare to see a hero as cowardly as you. ”
I breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I never recognized that I was a hero. I glared at him and said; What is the purpose of you deceiving us? ”
The old fairy shook his head slightly and said, "I don't have any purpose, I just want to get to know you." I know that several of them are the best people in the world, and if they are curious about my identity, they will definitely track it down, and when the time comes, I will inevitably reveal my secrets. ”
He let out a wry smile: "My current appearance, once it is seen through, it will be inconvenient, it is better to tell you the truth directly, and ask you to hide it on your behalf." ”
Listening to the words of the old fairy, it seems that not only did not intend to kill us, but instead had the intention of wooing us. So he asked, "What do you say?" What do you want us to do? ”
The smoke gradually gathered together, turning into the appearance of an old Taoist priest. He sat on the futon and said lightly, "What I want to do is to hope that the three of you don't mention me to anyone." I've been living in black robes, and no one has seen me for what I really am, except for the three of you. ”
The more I listened, the more wrong it became: "Aren't you from the underworld?" Why hide in this place? And let's hide your identity? ”
The old fairy smiled and said, "It is precisely because I have become a person from the underworld that I have to hide here, so I ask you to help me hide my identity." ”
It dawned on me: "You have betrayed the underworld? ”
The old fairy smiled: "It's not about betrayal. After I ate the elixir, I didn't go to Hades again. ”
Hearing this, my heart fluctuated for a while, and vaguely, I guessed the origin of the old fairy.
Immediately afterwards, he also confessed to us: "I used to be a Taoist priest, and the Taoist name is Jishi. Although this name is closer to Confucianism, it is also the wish of the first teacher, hoping that I will learn to help the needy. So when the people of Hades came to me, I immediately agreed. ”
My eyes widened, I looked at him and said, "The people of the underworld gave you a pill?" ”
The old fairy didn't show a surprised expression on his face, he probably guessed a long time ago, and most of the unilateral secrets had already been known.
He said lightly: "The people of the underworld have explained the pros and cons to me. After I eat the elixir, my body will become like this. But there are benefits, you can have boundless mana and control the cycle of good and evil. At the time, I thought, that's a really good thing. I can show my skills and benefit the people of the world. ”
I said, "yes, why are you hiding here again?" ”
The old immortal said: "After I practiced the elixir that day, I have already taken it. That's when I heard a message. It turns out that the underworld is not what I imagined, right and wrong are clearly distinguished, and evil is punished and good is promoted. Among them, there are countless ulterior deeds. Besides...... "Estimate the demon intestinal brother."
He paused, as if thinking of words. After a while, he said, "Besides, the underworld is not at peace. There is a hidden danger there, this hidden danger is like a monstrous flood, there is nowhere to vent, what the people of the underworld can do is to raise the embankment, block the river flood, and maintain the apparent peace. But the higher the dam, the greater the pressure. Sooner or later, one day, the levee will collapse, and the flood will rush down like thousands of horses. When the time comes, the entire underworld will not be able to compete with it at all, and it will inevitably be destroyed. And the people of the underworld are naturally not immune. ”
The old fairy smiled and said, "Since this is the case, why should I go to the underworld to find death. ”
I frowned and asked, "Is there a big hidden danger in the underworld?" What is this hidden danger? ”
The old fairy shook his head: "You'd better not know about this matter." Once you come into contact with it, you will never be able to get out of it, and when the time comes, there will be no place to die. ”
I was very worried and said, "But in a few days, we will go to the underworld, and we will go to find a few people......
The old immortal said, "The underworld is very big, and you may not be able to touch this great hidden danger. When you go to Hades, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, but be careful, and you will be safe. ”
I nodded. Suddenly, I felt that this old fairy had a good heart.
Xue Qian suddenly said: "If you eat the elixir, but you don't go to the underworld, won't those people arrest you?" ”
The old fairy laughed and said, "Of course they will arrest me." That's why I hid in this place. ”
