Li Daozi returned to the room near the cliff to set up the formation, and I followed him to the room where he had painted talisman alchemy, only to see that the gap was foggy. The original scenery has turned into darkness, and it is obvious that he has used his ** force to isolate this place and block the perception of the heavens.

He took out a large number of things from the bag he was carrying, including cloth flags, order flags, manna bowls, town altar wood, magic rulers, law ropes, three clear bells, caviar, round chimes, green seals, and other objects.

Each of these items, he placed them in a mysterious way, so that people did not dare to move, and every time they were placed, his mouth was full of words, and his expression was extremely reverent.

I knew that what he was reciting was not the so-called gods of the heavens, but the mystical and pervasive force of nature, the will of the whole world itself.

He was so dedicated. I couldn't help but feel nervous. I licked my lips over and over again, looking forward to tomorrow, this old man was still by my side, as in the past, in the back mountain of the Maoshan Sect, looking at me silently, although I may not be able to see him, but knowing that he is still in this world, and still retains a trace of expectation for me, I am already at ease.

Arrange the instrument properly. The old man, who had been busy all day, finally showed a hint of tiredness on his face, and he ignored me, but came to the futon, sat cross-legged, and fell asleep in silence.

Li Daozi rested, but I didn't rest together. Instead, he walked out of the Immortal Cave Mansion, stood on the top of Wuguniang Mountain, looked at the vast night, and thought about what the master wanted to say before, what was he worried about, who in this world would keep staring at my uncle. Don't want him to live?

I sat outside the cave for a long time, the mountain wind blew the forest waves, the insects chirped almost nothing, the whole world was quiet, and I suddenly had an inexplicable emotion, feeling that this world may not be as complicated as we see.

It's actually very simple, each of us comes to this world just to simply survive, but it just makes a qiē complicated.

And at this moment, my only thought, even if I let my Uncle Li live forever.

If anyone wants to stop this, I will not hesitate to stand up.

Even if the other person stepped on my corpse, it might have succeeded.

I'm confident.

In the process of waiting full of anticipation and worry, time became extremely slow, but after the real pass, it was a blink of an eye, and soon on the night of the third day, I returned to the Immortal Cave Mansion after inspecting Wuguniang Mountain, and sat opposite Li Daozi, at this moment he had already shown the fatigue of an ordinary old man, the old man on his face was yellow, his eyes began to become cloudy, and he looked around blankly, and then looked at me.

He stared at me for a long time, then suddenly took a breath and said to me: "Zhicheng, do you know that in the more than 30 years since I met you, my heart has been in repeated torment? ”

I nodded earnestly and asked, "Is it because of the devil in me?" ”

Li Daozi stared into my eyes, and then said: "Yes, yes, in fact, the most rational way is not to feed you, save you repeatedly, and cultivate you, but to strangle you when you are born, which is the best explanation for this world, but I sometimes think that in this world, it may not be black and white, the reason why it is so colorful is because there is a thing, it is called' I hope that your humanity can defeat the demonic nature of the devil, and let an innocent life survive in this world and live this life peacefully. ”

I suddenly gave up on myself, gritted my teeth and said, "Maybe you are really wrong, if you had chosen to let me leave quietly, maybe it wouldn't have become what it is now......"

Li Daozi felt the sorrow in my feelings, shook his head and smiled: "No, this is not the best choice, I have been tormented repeatedly, but now, when I am dying, my heart tells me that I have not done anything wrong, child, you are a good child; Because of love, you may be able to become the guardian of this world order, and I, the change of times, it is better to stay in history for others to comment on - let's not dwell on this issue, Zhicheng, do you know who the devil in your heart is? ”

I shook my head, nodded again, and then said: "In my dream, it has a face like an ox, wings on its back, horns or dragon horns on its head, and eighty-one brothers under its command, and the only one who can correspond to it in the records of the Taoist scriptures and Buddhist scriptures of the past dynasties is the Demon Venerable Chi You......"

Li Daozi nodded, and replied affirmatively: "Yes, it is him, the Emperor Chiyou of the Venerable of Ten Thousand Demons, the Lord of War, and the King of Jiuli, the demon in your heart is one of its countless projections in the vast world. ”

His words confirmed the doubts I had always had in my heart, and when I heard this, I couldn't help but have a headache: "I see, so to speak, if I fall into the devil, I will be a demon who is extremely evil?" ”

Li Daozi shook his head and said, "It's not." In that wild and chaotic era, monsters were rampant, Bailing competed, Chiyou rose to the coastal borderland, conquered Jiuli, established the law, refined metals, opened the wisdom of the people, led the human race out of the land of Bailing, and established civilization, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a saint; However, history is always a little girl dressed up, who became a king and lost a villain, and was finally defeated by the Yellow Emperor, so the laws of this world were tampered with, and the so-called Heavenly Dao became a tool of the victor, it became a demon, and it was also full of hatred for a person in this world, but if you say how evil it is, it is not accurate - it is just an unwilling loser. ”

I understand that the so-called world hatred, the so-called eighteen tribulations, is just this heavenly way that has been transformed by the victor, and the punishment of a loser, but even so, in this era, if you let the hateful Chiyou projection return to the world, it is not a good thing after all.

Li Daozi hopes that I will use my great humanity to subdue the demon in my heart, and rely on this power to protect any order in our hearts in this world.

I understood a qiē, but I didn't know what my ultimate fate would be, and I didn't know whether the sacrifice made by Li Daozi and everyone else for me was worth it.

Li Daozi saw my expression, but smiled freely, and said to me: "You have the bottom in your heart, everything is good; As for now, let's finish things, if I die, there will be a thing in the world that has nothing to do with me, these days I keep recalling my life, and I feel that it is actually complete, and the only regret is that I can't see him again......"

I asked, "Who?" ”

Li Daozi shook his head, then got up and stood, came to the gap in the stone room, and said calmly: "It's just an old man, there was an agreement back then, but it may have forgotten it; Maybe it's not too early, so let's start. ”

As he spoke, he took out a complete set of gorgeous Taoist robes from his bag, put them on himself, and then stretched his hand forward, wiped it slightly, and took out twelve slender white candles from mid-air, placed them in the center of the circle, and after forming a circle, the fingers of his right hand snapped his fingers in the air, and those candles ignited in an instant, and the twelve small flames kept turning, full of raw breath, but I don't know if it was a psychological effect, I always felt that these flames seemed to be extinguished at any time, and I was worried.

Compared with my frightened heart, Li Daozi seemed much more open-minded, lying in a circle surrounded by candles, and said calmly: "Okay, everything has been explained, and I will go, either in life or in death, according to the will of God!" ”

This sentence seemed to be the last words of his life, he closed his eyes, and then immediately fell into a deep sleep.

In the flickering candle flames, I carefully looked at this living legend, and my heart was full of thoughts.

I didn't expect that the demon in my body was really the projection of Chi You's demon head, and I didn't expect that a Taoist priest who was nurtured and raised by Taoism would have such an evaluation of Chi You, and what I didn't expect was that at the most critical moment in his life, even my master Tao Jinhong was not able to accompany him, but he chose me.

As he said, the rest of his life was spent in apprehension and self-denial, but he chose to believe me in the end.

This old man, who is sleeping here at the moment, no longer has the same fairy wind bones as he did at the beginning, nor does he have the demeanor of the world's top masters, although he is wearing the most solemn Taoist robe, but it gives people the feeling that there is no difference from those old people seen in the countryside.

He's old, really old, no longer a legend, but just an ordinary old man.

I sat in the cave, staring silently at the twelve candles, and seeing the flames jumping, each flickering on the edge of life and death, made me extremely entangled and nervous.

I don't know how long it took, but the candle burned most of it, and suddenly, there was a burst of lightning and thunder in the gap, and then it swam towards it.

My heart jumped, and I suddenly got up, but I felt a disturbance in the calm Qi field, and the candle flame jumped uncertainly, so frightened that I hurriedly fixed my body, and then saw that the electric light continued to shine in the gap, but it was missing and did not break through.

At first, it was lightning, then the wind like a knife, and then the wind, frost, rain and snow, a thousand changes, but in the magic circle, there seemed to be a steady stream of power to support it, shielding the interference of the world.

After a long time, there was a calm around, and I saw that the candle seemed to be only a small section, and it was about to burn out, and my heart was just a little relaxed, but at this time, a cold voice sounded in the cave: "Li Daozi, do you want to live a few more years, have you ever asked my opinion?" ”
