When Mo Jiangnan opened his eyes, he saw a clear sky, but his mood was not as clear as this sky. His head was groggy and his whole body felt weak, and he kept resisting the hope of closing the heavy eyelids again.

When he got up from the grass and came back to his senses, his exhaustion was driven away by astonishment.

Of course, anyone who wakes up to find themselves in a strange place will be surprised, and it still seems to be a barren place.

Where is this? Why did I pass out here? A chill rose from the bottom of Mo Jiangnan's heart.

Where is it, what is it exactly?

Mo Jiangnan looked around nervously, but the grass and woods were so unfamiliar to him that he didn't even feel a trace of familiarity.

He had to leave here immediately, Mo Jiangnan instinctively felt that something bad would happen here.

"Stop."

Just as Mo Jiangnan had an idea, a voice "stabbed" straight into his head. Mo Jiangnan, who had just experienced the strange incident, was taken aback, fortunately it was a clear sky at this time, otherwise he would probably be scared and fainted like this.

"Who?"

Mo Jiangnan looked vigilantly, but found a phantom behind him, and his body froze at that time!

"Don't panic, I'm not a ghost." The voice was a little old and a little helpless, "I can't even do it, I don't want to slack off in my cultivation for a hundred years, but in the end, it's such an end." ”

"Who the hell are you? Where is this again? Mo Jiangnan hurriedly took a few steps back.

The phantom gradually became obvious, condensed into the image of a person, and the appearance gradually became clear, looking like an old man. This strange scene made Mo Jiangnan look stupid, he stared at this ethereal old man, and felt as if he had seen it somewhere.

The old man was also looking at Mo Jiangnan, and after looking at it for a long time, Mo Jiangnan didn't dare to move, but he was hairy. After half a day of scrutiny, the old man shook his head in disappointment, revealing a sad look.

"I'm too old, and my qualifications are so poor." The shadow old man muttered to himself.

"Say me?" Mo Jiangnan was a little curious, and his fear was diluted a lot.

"You're twenty-five years old, aren't you?" The shadow old man asked.

"28 is almost 29." Mo Jiangnan thought to himself that he didn't take much care of himself, so he wouldn't look so tender, right?

"Hey!" The shadow old man sighed, "If I accept you as an apprentice, I'm afraid it will be difficult to marry within a hundred years, let alone ascend to the Dao, if I don't have no choice, I am really unwilling." ”

"Yudan? Soaring? Mo Jiangnan was stupid for a while, and then he came to his senses: "Wait, you said you would take me as an apprentice?" ”

The shadow old man turned his eyes to look at Mo Jiangnan again: "Is there anyone else here?" Providence is so, and this is your creation. Well, maybe you'll have some adventures in the future, yes, the world is unpredictable, the world is unpredictable......"

"Wait, you just said to accept me as an apprentice?" Mo Jiangnan quit, he is a craft inherited from his ancestors, there is no other apprenticeship, the rules handed down do not allow this, of course you can learn something, but to be honest and upright to apprentice is a big rebellion.

"Why aren't you happy?" The shadow old man saw Mo Jiangnan's thoughts, and his expression became gloomy, "How many people can't look forward to this kind of thing, you don't want to?" Do you know what Xiuzhen means? Do you know what it feels like to jump out of the Three Realms and not be in the Five Elements? ”

Mo Jiangnan could only say that he didn't know, because he really didn't know, and he didn't understand what it meant. But when it comes to the issue of principle, he still won't back down, that is, he resolutely refuses to apprentice, let alone in such a strange situation.

"Hmph, then I can tell you that after learning my exercises, you will have the ability to ascend to heaven and earth, above mortals, with invincible mana, free from the shackles of the laws of heaven and earth and at ease, and have a long life."

"I'm sorry, but it's fascinating, but I still can't apprentice."

A person and a shadow stared at each other, and suddenly the shadow old man noticed that something was wrong.

"Oh, so they cast a spell on you." The shadow old man seemed to frown slightly, "Although there is only a trace of divine consciousness left, this is not difficult for me. ”

The shadow old man met Mo Jiangnan's eyes as he spoke, and Mo Jiangnan suddenly felt that his gaze was deeply sunken, and he couldn't take a single step away, not even close his eyes. The surrounding scenery began to blur, and the light slowly dimmed.

I don't know how long it took, Mo Jiangnan's mind thundered and returned to clarity, but he was still stunned on the spot and didn't move, he felt that something suddenly remembered in his mind, it was the fight scene just now!

"You, Daojue?" Mo Jiangnan had already relived that memory in his mind.

"Remembered?" Dao Jue's voice was a little weak, "Hmph! If it weren't for those thieves who set up a big array in advance, the people of their entire family would not be able to help the old man, in the final analysis, the old man would have been the boss, otherwise he would not have ended up like this. ”

Dao Jue sighed and then continued: "What you see now is only a wisp of divine consciousness, and it is about to dissipate, it doesn't matter if a person dies, I can still be reincarnated and recultivated, but now I am even dissipating my divine consciousness, and I will never exist in the future." Think about my penance for more than a hundred years ruined in one fell swoop, this is the most heart-wrenching, how many cold and summer, how many days and nights, when others enjoy the joys, sorrows and sorrows of the world, but I linger in the ethereal, a hundred years of fingers in the ashes, others have lived a complete life, I don't. ”

Dao Jue raised his gaze to look at the sky, and Mo Jiangnan could even feel the infinite desolation from that gaze.

"Excuse me, what is Divine Consciousness?" Mo Jiangnan asked cautiously.

"Want to know? The book I gave you is an introductory exercise, and you will understand it after reading it, young man, just pity my old bones, and let me have a successor to follow the path of cultivation for me. ”

After hearing these words, Mo Jiangnan really sympathized with this old man, but the ancestral precepts could not be violated.

"Old man, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that I have a family handicraft, and my father's legacy is not to worship outsiders as teachers, although this seems too pedantic, but I still plan to abide by the ancestral teachings. Besides, I also listened to what you said later, according to my understanding, if life is like this, blindly practicing and ignoring the world, it is not much different from dying, practicing for a hundred years, it is okay to become a success, if you do not meet your expectations, it is a waste of a hundred years, then this life has no meaning. ”

Dao Jue smiled, Mo Jiangnan found that he also had such a gentle smile for the first time since he saw Dao Jue.

"People are about to die, and their words are good, the ancients did not deceive me, and I will not force you to do anything. Until now, I have figured it out, it is completely my crime to have today, and I have done a lot of murder and overselling in order to cultivate the truth, and it can be regarded as a demon, thinking about it, it is really sinful, I can't complain about others, I can't complain about others...... Hahahaha......"

Dao Jue suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, his voice was full of excitement and excitement: "I didn't expect that I would be able to break through my inner demons at the moment when my divine consciousness was about to dissipate, although it was a little late, but I can also congratulate, congratulate." ”

Mo Jiangnan saw that Dao would never force himself to be an apprentice, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, old man." ”

Dao Jue stopped laughing, and with a wave of his hand lightly, Mo Jiangnan had two more things in his hand.

"This is my practice and a storage bracelet, I'm afraid that other things have been snatched by those kids, you can practice according to this method, or find the right person to pass on the exercises to him, this is my last request, I don't know if I can agree?"

Mo Jiangnan thought about it as nothing, so he agreed.

Dao Jue added: "You can see this exercise, and you can also use the things in the bracelet, but unless you help me find a successor, I can't let others see this exercise, can you do it?" ”

Mo Jiangnan thought to himself that you are asking me, but I only helped at your request, and this request seems to be what I owe you. However, seeing that the knife was in a desperate and pitiful situation, Mo Jiangnan also agreed.

Dao Jue smiled again, and after laughing, he looked at Mo Jiangnan deeply, and suddenly said lightly: "The cultivation of true exercises and magic weapons are things that many people dream of, but you can refuse such a big temptation, I don't believe that there are truly desireless people, all living beings have hope and persistence." I think you must have your persistence, the persistence that you are willing to give everything for, persevere, and one day you will definitely achieve something, although I am not a great person, but please believe me. ”

Mo Jiangnan looked at the still translucent phantom, surprised that he was not scared away by this strange scene.

"It's just a pity that I can't see it." Dao Jue sighed with deep regret, the originally translucent body glowed with fluorescence, and gradually brightened, "My divine consciousness is about to dissipate, and from now on there will be no longer my existence in this heaven and earth universe, although I can see through it, but regret is still inevitable, unwilling, unwilling, unwilling...... By the way, what's your name? ”

"Mo Jiangnan."

"Well, Mo Jiangnan, this is the last thing I know." Dao Jue's expression became relaxed again, "If I can meet you today, I have a fate with you, but this fate is shorter, remember what you helped me do, I'm leaving." ”

At this time, Mo Jiangnan saw that the fluorescence on Dao Jue's body was divided into thousands of strands, and dispersed in all directions.

"The world is a fairy,

The years consume the thoughts of the young,

In a moment's time,

All laws are the way.

Hahahaha......"

In the deafening long laughter of Dao Jue, his body turned into tens of millions of fluorescent fluorescents and dissipated, which made Mo Jiangnan stunned again.

"Is he considered enlightened?"

Looking up at the sky, Mo Jiangnan muttered to himself.
