At this moment, I saw a withered old man slowly walking out of the depths of the cave. His hair is as white as snow, his face is covered with the vicissitudes of time, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes are like deep lakes, storing endless stories and experiences. His back was slightly bent, and he held a thick wooden cane in his right hand to help him steady his pace.

A striking animal skin cloak hung crumpled on his body, like a warm piece of equipment in the cold of winter, and like a symbol of some kind of status. His presence made the whole scene instantly quiet, and everyone stopped what they were doing and turned to the old man, their faces showing deep respect.

Some people who were keen to help others were ready to step forward to help the old man, but he raised his hand to stop him. His eyes showed stubbornness and self-reliance, and he was unwilling to accept help from others even if he was old and frail, which made the people around him admire him even more.

Finally, the high priest stared at Ye Ning, although his voice was old, but the speed of his speech was surprisingly fast, he opened his mouth and said, "You are Ye Ning, come with me, let's talk alone."

The High Priest's voice was powerful and firm, and that deep tone made one involuntarily believe his words. When Ye Ning saw him, he was even more convinced in his heart that this old man in front of him was definitely a high priest with extremely high wisdom.

Ye Ning followed the high priest to a clearing not far from the crowd. The environment is extraordinarily tranquil, like a small garden carved out by nature, making it feel peaceful and soothing. The trees in green hats used the open-air sky as their canopy, and the breeze rustled through the treetops, as if nature was playing a beautiful piece of music on its own.

The old man found a smooth rock to sit on, while Ye Ning stood respectfully beside him, waiting for his invitation. He knows that everyone in this land has their own rules and etiquette, and he doesn't want to offend anyone easily.

It is remarkable that despite the fact that the high priest was the leader of the tribe, those natives did not follow him here. They seemed to have absolute trust and respect for the High Priest, not only obeying his orders, but even giving enough trust to the unknown Ye Ning, making sure that Ye Ning, an outsider, would not harm the High Priest. They stayed quietly and continued to do their thing as if nothing had happened.

The high priest sat on the stone, looked at Ye Ning, and said slowly, "Ye Ning, although I don't know what kind of abilities you have, I can tell you that in my prophecy, if a shocking catastrophe really happens, at that time, you will be the only one alive in the whole world. That's why I guess you're the only possible person to solve the world's problems."

Ye Ning listened, but suddenly asked another question, "Are you so sure of the correctness of your prophecy? Are your prophecies really reliable?"

Ye Ning had already believed these words. Obviously, this question was asked by Star Soul to be asked by Ye Ning. And it just so happened that Ye Ning hadn't shown any of his strength since he came to the Western Continent, and Star Soul wanted to use this to see if this high priest was worth in-depth cooperation.

For a long time, the Star Soul just thought that the High Priest had two brushes, and the Star Soul didn't know what the specific ability was. Because the high priest had no longer had the life to prophesy.

And the reason why Star Soul suddenly did this today was that he suddenly found that the power he gave to Ye Ning had subtly changed Ye Ning's body, especially prolonging Ye Ning's lifespan. The Star Soul is also a whim, if the reliability of the High Priest can be determined, the Star Soul can renew his life to help him predict the right time to do it, when to cut down the tree.

And after communicating with Ye Ning, Ye Ning also agreed with the idea of the Star Soul, if the High Priest was really capable, letting him survive would definitely be the best thing for this Blue Star.

The High Priest smiled and continued, "Last time, with incomparable precision, I mastered all the causal entanglements of your collection of medicinal herbs, and personally sent the Burning Sun Thing in the mountains. These herbs have helped you avoid the bloody plague and make you reborn."

"And today, our encounter is like a drama I predetermined, and I have sent the believer through the vast sea of people to bring you here. This process has consumed the hourglass of my life for nearly 300 years, and although it is heavy, I have paid for it. After all, it's about saving the world

The plan of redemption. In the face of such feelings, I ask you, do you still have any doubts and distrust that you can't bear?"

Ye Ning was deeply shocked. He understood that the wise old Taoist priest did not really need to convince him by showing his prophetic abilities in a life-consuming way, he only needed to give some examples. At the same time, there is no need for solemn words about saving the world that are always on the lips. But he did this undoubtedly to remind and make his determination and sincerity felt by the potential Star Souls who were eavesdropping on their conversations.

And at this time, the high priest seemed to be able to hear Ye Ning's deep question, and he spoke, "That's right, my words are not just for you, I may even have a pair of hidden eyes trying to peek through our conversation. The person whose identity I can't identify, these words are also for that person."

"You're like that owl, you're on a mission that I can't understand, and you all have a big guy behind you. His status is extremely noble, my skills are not calculated at all, and my Taoism is still too shallow."

"Daoxing?" Ye Ning repeated the word.

At this moment, Ye Ning seemed to have fallen into a passage from another dimension. His auditory space was struck by a surprising noun, "Tao Xing", a word he had only encountered in the drama and in the complicated pages of the screen. He couldn't believe that this ancient and worldly word could come from the mouth of an indigenous man who was so poorly dressed.

His eyes fell on the face of the indigenous high priest, an elder who had survived the vicissitudes of time, but still smiled. His eyes are full of the calmness and firmness of the stormy process, and at the same time, there is a bit of cynical agility. He easily waved the words that confused Ye Ning, just like playing with a treasure, which was unpredictable.

The High Priest chuckled, and that laughter was like a breeze in the valley, blowing through Ye Ning's heart lake, leaving a gentle ripple. "What's this, I still have a Taoist certificate. At my age, you can call me an old Taoist priest now."

Although these words were as plain as water, they brought Ye Ning a shock. The High Priest smiled, and then said, "We still have a lot of time, and the Archon you want to save is still relatively safe. Let me tell you my story first."

"More than a century ago, I stepped into this world. I was born in the mountains of Zhenjiang, far away on the western continent, where the largest Taoist temple is hidden, and the view is like the snow of the Buddha country, quiet and elegant. I grew up in that mysterious and unique world, where people came with all kinds of wishes, pious hearts, and incense full of prayers to seek the blessings of Taoist temples."

They longed for their love to be picturesque, their studies to rise day by day, their careers to rise step by step, and all their good expectations were pinned on the rising cigarettes. However, the old Taoist priests always end the topic with the phrase, 'Lao Jun will bless you, which means that as long as the believer is sincere, it is possible to fulfill his wishes, but they don't care whether they have really been blessed or not."

"I've been skeptical of this kind of thing since I was a child, and I always felt that it was more like a legitimate act to make money, and the world was always full of countless unknown darkness and lies. All good expectations eventually boiled down to a wanton lie and perfunctory, and after that, the Taoist priests could sit back and enjoy it. Therefore, I don't have much trust and admiration for this industry and this way of life." The High Priest really began to explain his past experience.

"However, in this Taoist temple full of flickering colors, I reluctantly grew up gradually. I was in a Taoist temple, and every day I could see them immersed in practice and tempering: meditating, reciting scriptures, practicing martial arts, refining and blending pills, and praying for blessings. Their lives seem to be full of rituals and mysteries, but I always thought that these were just superficial appearances, just illusory illusions created by them."

"In my eyes, the trajectory of life has been determined by heaven, subtle and unchangeable, so what is the purpose of their life? Can they really change the rules of nature? During the days when I often went down the mountain quietly, I often heard from the villagers about these things. Their understanding made me feel closer to my understanding of life, so, from a young age

When I grew up, I always had neither trust nor understanding of the behavior of the Taoist priests."

"In the outside urban world, there is a magical existence called 'weather forecasting. I always feel that it is more practical than us Taoist priests relying on the ancient method of predicting the weather, after all, most of the time, the results of the tests are the same on both sides, and the predictions of the weather forecasts are so accurate that it is like holding the pulse of the weather."

"However, when I found out that there were occasional cases of inaccuracy, it was our Taoist temple that turned out to be surprisingly accurate. This made me wonder if the Taoist temple, which I had never understood, really possessed mysterious powers that I had never understood. Perhaps, the rules of this world are not as simple as I expected, and perhaps there are deeper and more mysterious forces hidden in the corners that I have not yet understood."
