A light flashed in Xiaobai's eyes, and he shook his head and said, "That's my debt, what I owed in my last life." If you're wondering, I'll tell you another time, I don't want to talk about it now. ”

I saw that Xiaobai's expression was very serious, so I didn't force her, although I was very, very curious about it.

"Xiaobai, how did you recover your memory?"

Xiaobai said: "After leaving you that day, I wandered in Tianshou Mountain for a long time, and then I came to Taiyiguan, my memory was lost here, and there was always a sense of déjà vu when I returned here." I followed my feelings to find the tomb of Taiyi Zhenren, stayed in the tomb for several days, and slowly recalled all the previous events. ”

"It's that simple, huh?"

"It's that simple." Xiaobai nodded and continued, "After the memory was restored, when I came out of the tomb, I felt that you were also watching Taiyi, and you also knew what happened later. ”

Later, Xiaobai appeared in front of me and instructed me to open the tomb door and save everyone except me.

"Xiaobai, I have a question."

"Just ask."

"Yang Xun has been looking for the Divine Jade, you just said that I was also looking for the Divine Jade in the previous life, what I want to know is, what is the Divine Jade?" I asked suspiciously, "Why did Yang Xun say that if he found the Divine Jade, he could change his life against the sky?" ”

"Shenyu" Xiaobai pondered for a moment and said slowly, "I haven't seen that thing." But in your previous life, you once told me that the divine jade is a piece of jade. ”

I was speechless, rubbed the rope on my hand again with my hands, and asked as I grinded, "I know that the divine jade is a piece of jade, what kind of jade is that?" ”

Xiao Bai was silent for a moment, and a strange brilliance appeared on his face: "Divine jade is a piece of jade, the same thing that can make people immortal!" ”

I was shocked, but then I felt a little ridiculous, and shook my head: "Immortality only exists in myths and legends, and it is impossible for anyone to do this in real life. Otherwise, how could none of the emperors in ancient times, who held the supreme power in the world and owned all the resources in the world, survive to the present? ”

"I didn't believe it either." Xiaobai said, "As far as our ghosts are concerned, they can't survive forever in the world, and they will be lost after a long time. But the rumor that divine jade can make people live longer is true! ”

I still don't believe it.

Xiao Bai sighed lightly: "Chen Shen, do you know how long the Taiyiguan inheritance has been?" ”

"Is this it?" I groaned for a moment and said, "At least a hundred years." ”

Xiaobai shook his head and said slowly: "Taiyi Temple was built in the early years of the Song Dynasty, a thousand years ago. ”

I smacked my tongue, I didn't expect Taiyiguan to have such a long history, but no matter how long the sect is, it has been destroyed in the catastrophe decades ago. Thinking of this, and then thinking of the Yellow Gate, which is the same name, was also lost in the Cultural Revolution and became the dust of history, it is really sad and lamentable.

I sighed over there, but Xiaobai looked at me with a strange look: "Don't you think it's strange? ”

I asked blankly, "What's strange?" ”

Xiao Bai took a deep breath and slowly spit out two words: "Name." ”

"Name?" I wondered, "What's the name?" ”

"Taiyi." Xiaobai looked at me and said quietly, "Aren't you curious, why does Taiyi Zhenren use the name 'Taiyi'?" ”

"Taiyi" I pondered for a while, thinking of the previous conversation with Xiaobai, some impossible thought flashed in my heart, and I said in shock, "You mean Taiyi is a real person."

Because I was too shocked, I didn't even speak intermittently, Xiao Bai didn't blink, looked at me and said seriously: "Yes, Taiyiguan is created by Taiyi Zhenren, what do you think about this?" ”

I was shocked by the news that Xiaobai said, my brain was a little confused, and I said intermittently: "You mean that Taiyiguan was created by Taiyi Zhenren, and the establishment of Taiyiguan was far more than a thousand years ago, so Taiyi Zhenren also lived for thousands of years?" "I still can't believe it because I'm shocked," isn't that? ”

Xiaobai smiled and said, "This is a true fact, do you think I'm teasing you?" ”

Although I knew that with Xiaobai's quiet temperament, it was impossible to make such a joke with me, but I still didn't think it was acceptable. I originally thought that a Taoist priest in Tsing Yi named Taiyi Zhenren had lived for hundreds of years, which is already rare. Although Taoism has a legend of Bigu Yuhua, but after all, those are just legends, and one of the most famous Taoist priests in the world, Zhang Sanfeng and Zhang Zhenren, only lived for more than a hundred years.

Taiyi Zhenren has lived for thousands of years, is he an old monster?

"Yes...... Is it because of the divine jade? I muttered.

Xiaobai nodded.

I thought about it, a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, I looked at Xiaobai and said: "I still don't believe that anyone can live forever, even if what you say is true, Taiyi Zhenren has lived for thousands of years, but he is still dead!" So no one can live forever! ”

"Immortality is an unprovable proposition." Xiaobai said lightly, "But Taiyi's stinky Taoist priest has lived for thousands of years, but it's true, I didn't lie to you." ”

"How do you know? Do you have a thousand years on earth? ”

Xiaobai was silent.

I was shocked and said, "Xiaobai! Have you really been a ghost for that long? ”

Xiao Bai sighed and said softly: "It's been too long to be a ghost, I have forgotten how long it has been, it may be thousands of years, or it may only be a few hundred years." I...... I can't remember ......."

Now it was my turn to be silent.

"I told you before, a long, long time ago, I met that stinky Taoist priest, and he tried to seal me, but he let me run away. It must have been a long, long time ago, at least a few hundred years. Xiao Bai said slowly, "In the next few hundred years, I have met a few stinky Taoist priests, his Taoism is getting higher and higher, but his temper is getting more and more strange, I have been caught by him a few times, but he does not destroy me, and every time he lets me go with a smile." ”

"Probably...... Taiyi real person has a crush on you? ”

"Die!" Xiaobai glared, "I once asked the stinky Taoist priest why he always let me go, and he replied that he had lived too long and was too lonely, and I was also his old acquaintance, and every time I met him, it could evoke his memories of the past years, so he let me go." ”

"Looks like it's lived too long...... Something will go wrong with the brain. ”

Xiaobai ignored my interruption and continued: "At that time, I felt that the stinky Taoist priest seemed to never die, no matter how many years passed, he would always look the same, and he would not get old at all. I actually had doubts, and I also asked the stinky Taoist priest, but he smiled and said nothing about this question. Later, a few decades ago, when you were a tomb robber, I mentioned to you about the stinky Taoist priest, and you became interested and began to investigate the matter of Taiyiguan and the stinky Taoist priest. The fact that the stinky Taoist priest founded Taiyiguan and lived for a thousand years is the last thing you confirmed. And the secret that the stinky Taoist priest can live for a thousand years is not the secret method of Taoism, but because of the piece of jade he carries with him. ”

"Shenyu?" Listening to Xiaobai talk about himself in his previous life, I felt weird, frowned and said, "Where did you come from?" ”

Xiaobai said: "In the previous life, you were also a curious person, and you did a lot of things in order to explore the secrets of the divine jade, such as pretending to be a woman to seduce the stinky Taoist, oh, I forgot to say, you in the previous life were much better looking than now." ”

I had already broken the rope and my hands were free, so I couldn't help but touch my face and said with a wry smile: "There is no need to talk about these things, did that 'me' succeed in the end?" ”

"You did it." Xiao Bai smiled at me, "You have gained the trust of the stinky Taoist priest and become his closed disciple. ”

I was reaching out to check the connection of the stone gate, and see what mechanism could open the tomb door, when I heard this, I couldn't help but be stunned, turned to look at Xiaobai, and asked, "Closed door disciple?" In my last life, I was a person who was too one-minded? ”

"What do you think?" Xiaobai sneered, "Otherwise, you can know the true way to open the tomb door?" If it weren't for the stinky Taoist priest who trusted you and favored you, and told you the true opening method of the tomb door before entering the tomb, how could you enter the tomb of the stinky Taoist priest in the previous life? If you listen to the lies left by the stinky Taoist priest and open the tomb door with hard work, you are afraid that you will die without a whole body! ”

My heart moved and I asked, "What would happen if I tried to open the tomb door with my heart?" …… Will it die? ”

"Death is a must." Xiao Bai said sarcastically, "After the catastrophe of the Cultural Revolution, no one believed in the stinky Taoist priests - except for you, a closed little disciple." The method of his heart's work left behind is a trap to punish those who have tried to make an attempt on his tomb because of the Divine Jade. And these people, mainly his disciples! If someone really collects people's 'hard work' and paints it on the tomb door, the mechanism left by the stinky Taoist priest will cause the outer corridor to collapse in an instant, and bury the person who tried to enter the tomb alive! I don't know why, the stinky Taoist priest trusted you in the previous life very much, and he alone told you the truth of the 'painstaking method' and the correct way to open the tomb door, but how could he have thought that you were his disciple, in fact, there was no motive. The person who finally entered the tomb to steal the divine jade would be his most trusted little disciple. ”

"I was in the previous life, not the ...... I am now," I explained with a helpless wry smile, but there was a faint bitter taste in my mouth.

It can be inferred from the few words left on the copper plate by Taiyi Zhenren that he really never doubted the 'me' of the previous life, and he believed that someone was able to enter the tomb because of respect for him—because only kowtowing to his bronze statue could open the tomb door. It's just that......

I glanced back at the dark corridor, and at the end of the corridor, there was a sarcophagus made by Taiyi Zhenren for himself, and in that sarcophagus, there were his own remains, the puppets left behind to guard, and the little disciples who closed the door with bad intentions.

Although I think in my heart that the 'me' in the previous life has nothing to do with the current me, I don't know why, looking at the dark Yongdao and thinking of the trust that was betrayed in Taiyiguan decades ago, my mood is a little astringent.
