"Why are you doing that?" Ling Qi looked at the blurry figure and asked.

"I just hope you don't hate me." The figure gradually became clear, it was the gentle woman, and then the woman smiled slightly, and turned into a hideous-looking guy covered in blood. Then this guy looked at Ling Qi and suddenly stepped back.

"Tell me clearly......" Ling Qi chased after him, and then, he woke up from a dream. Ling Qi looked at his still young hands, and then saw the old Taoist priest sitting on the side smiling, and sighed.

"What exactly happened in your dream?" The old Taoist priest looked at the child who sighed, handed out a mouthful of water and asked.

Ling Qi picked up the small cup with difficulty, looked at the old Taoist priest sitting on the side and smiled, and sighed helplessly and said, "That's a guy I can't see clearly." Glancing at the old Taoist priest next to him, Ling Qi asked curiously, "Are all immortals neurotic, and they want to come out of one thing?" ”

The old Taoist priest was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then laughed, and replied with some emotion as he looked at the rising sun in the distance; "The purpose of cultivating immortals is to keep oneself from the constraints of mortal dust, and instead of laughing at immortals and being fickle, it is better to say that immortals are truly free."

"What about you, old Taoist, I remember you said that your cultivation is smooth, you shouldn't be an immortal." Ling Qi looked at the old guy with a little pale hair in front of him and asked cautiously.

The old Taoist priest still replied with a smile: "I am still one last step away, but I don't want to take that step." I have been practicing for more than 200 years, and I have sent away countless relatives and friends, and now I just want to guard this small Taoist temple and live an ordinary mortal life. ”

"I didn't even say that in the end." Ling Qi whispered on the side, the old Taoist priest didn't change his face when he heard it, he still looked like he was smiling, facing the rising sun in the small courtyard of the Taoist temple, and then he helped Ling Qi prepare some breakfast, and after watching Ling Qi finish eating, he happily picked up the bucket and went to the vegetable field in front of the Taoist temple to water it.

Looking at this Taoist priest who lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests, Ling Qi was actually a little envious. If you let yourself choose, you should really want such a small courtyard in that world to live alone, and then think of housing prices, savings, work...... The world is different, and the pursuit is different. Thinking of the regrets he came into contact with in this world, Ling Qi was a little emotional, but he didn't know if this old Taoist priest really saw through the red dust or ran away from the past?

The sun was shining, the old Taoist priest smiled and carried a rabbit into the small courtyard, skillfully bleeding and cutting, Ling Qi looked at this scene with some curiosity, and asked, "Don't you think it's inappropriate for immortals to do this?" ”

The old Taoist priest put down the rabbit in his hand, turned around and asked, "In your eyes, what kind of immortal is it?" ”

Ling Qi raised his head and thought for a moment, then said slowly: "It's probably a casual appearance that doesn't eat the fireworks of the world. ”

The old Taoist priest nodded, and then said with a smile: "The immortal you said is also my ideal immortal, but if you really see that immortal gate, you will think that I am right like this." ”

"But if you really want to hide from the world, you shouldn't raise me in a Taoist temple." Ling Qi is a little angry, why are the immortal cultivators here a little demonic, if I can cultivate in the future, I hope that I will never become like this.

"What I want to do is a good heart, seeing that you are such a good seedling in the mortal world like this, I can't bear it." The old Taoist priest suddenly thought of something, looked at the little baby in front of him and laughed, and only said softly for a long time: "It turns out that this is what the little baby meant, don't you want to cultivate?" ”

"What I want is to cultivate by myself, not to be forced to cultivate by you immortals. I can't think about it, I don't know why I cultivate immortals, old Taoist, you don't like this feeling! Ling Qi looked at the old Taoist priest in front of him with a serious face and replied solemnly.

"I don't like it, of course I won't like it. Cultivating immortals can't be free yet, that's really bitter! The old Taoist priest nodded in agreement, but looking at the sky in the distance, he suddenly said with a smile: "It seems that I don't need to be reminded by your little baby, my hidden dream should indeed wake up." ”

There was a knock on the door outside the Taoist temple, and then a woman's voice came: "My young lady will have her birthday next month, I hope my husband can promise her." ”

The old Taoist priest pushed open the door, and at the door was a petite maid with excellent appearance, looking at the old Taoist priest who opened the door, his eyes were calm, and he just bowed slightly. The old Taoist priest sighed, then looked at the scarf in the maid's hand and sighed again, then nodded and replied: "Tell your young lady, I recently got a son, so I won't bother." ”

The maid's face was a little surprised, and when she saw the child sitting on the table in the courtyard, she glanced at the old Taoist priest again, and her eyes were full of disbelief. The old Taoist priest said with a smile: "Please go back, the road is far away, and I won't send the old Tao." ”

The maid left, and the old Taoist priest looked at the sky again and sighed, and then prepared to go out to carve the formation. Ling Qi's eyes were full of gossip and curiosity, and he looked at the back of the old Taoist priest and asked, "Don't you feel guilty of conscience if you use me as an excuse?" ”

"That girl should have a better future, instead of dwelling on an old Taoist priest like me." The old Taoist priest turned around and replied slowly, but looking at the child who was still gossiping, he smiled and said, "Okay, there is nothing untold about my story, it's still early, so the old Taoist will just nag a few words." ”

Lao Dao looked at the sky, sat at the table and said: "At that time, I was still a stunned young man who had just walked out of the sect, and I rushed over when I heard the cry of the woman on the side of the road. I still stopped it, maybe it's because the person chasing and killing is too vicious, maybe it's because the wolf demon is really amazing, in short, the person who is chasing and killing is gone, but the wolf demon is there to thank you. ”

As if recalling the scene at that time, the old Taoist priest laughed twice and shook his head and continued: "The wolf demon took out a hairpin from his arms, it seems that he wanted to use it as a thank you gift, but the hairpin is too familiar to me, it is a gift that I lost in a bet with my little sister, I looked at the wolf demon for a long time, resisted the urge to draw my sword, and chose to ask about the situation." ”

"Old Taoist, you can still be so calm at that time, it's really amazing." Ling Qi listened to the description and thought to himself what a misunderstanding!

The wolf demon replied hesitantly, and I would rather have never asked myself when I heard that answer. The junior sister really died in her hands, and the wolf demon's face was full of tears, and she said vigorously I don't know, I really don't know......"

Ling Qi didn't know what to say, looked at the old Taoist priest in front of him, and finally sighed lightly. The old Taoist priest glanced at the little baby, smiled and said, "But I saved her after all, and I chose to let her go after being silent for a long time." Maybe it was she who was really hurt and she wished I could escort her back, and I was a little annoyed and left her there alone. When I went back again, I saw that her hand had broken through a human body, and I rescued her, and I knew in my heart that she didn't know that there were several of my fellow Terrans who had fallen, but I still yelled at her along the way, and after sending her back to the territory of the Demon Clan, I confessed to the sect. I thought I could get some relief through self-punishment, but I saw the somewhat excited eyes of the boss, I was not imprisoned, and even became the so-called demon hero. So I escaped, and the way people looked at me drove me crazy, and I ended up in the Demon Land. I did something to the wolf demon who came to see me, of course, but I was driven out by the demon clan. I'm a little happy, but I'm still not forgiven when I return to the Terrans. Later, I left the sect, figured it out a bit, and let go of some ......."

"Didn't you think that it was not you who was at fault, but the world?" Of course, Ling Qi knew that what was in the script was just a story after all, but looking at the old Taoist priest in front of him, he still had some regrets in his heart.

"Little baby, what I care about is not the eyes of the world......" The old Taoist priest stood up, looked at the sky in the distance and sighed, and then calmly said to the Taoist temple: "Since you are here, then come in!" ”

The door was pushed open, and a somewhat tall woman, even if she had seen the peak master's stunning appearance, Ling Qi sighed with emotion, she was indeed a rare woman in the world. The woman looked at the old Taoist priest in the small courtyard, then at the child sitting on the table, and said softly: "If it weren't for this child, would you plan to hide here for the rest of your life?" ”

"I don't know what the saint is doing here." The old Taoist priest regained his smile, and looked at the woman who stepped forward and wanted to touch Ling Qi and opened her mouth to block it.

The woman sighed, looked at the smiling old Taoist, and said with some annoyance, "Why don't you come?" ”

The old Taoist priest motioned for the woman to sit down, poured her a cup of tea before saying, "Why did the holy woman come to find me a bad old man? ”

"You are angry that my father cut off your immortal path back then." The woman who had calmed down after drinking tea was angry again because of the old Taoist's words, but the woman looked at the old Taoist priest who was still smiling, sighed and turned around and walked out.

Ling Qi looked at the strange two, and finally couldn't hold back and said, "Old Daoist, if you really refuse, you shouldn't be like this. Looking at the two people who looked at him, Ling Qi coughed and said slowly: "Old Taoist, you still don't understand women's hearts, the best way to make women die is to praise another man in front of women, such as me." ”

The woman was amused by Ling Qi's words, and leaned over and asked, "How can this make me die?" ”

Ling Qi looked at the amazing face, took a deep breath, and then said slowly: "I don't know if this holy woman will come here to repay the favor or because of ......"

The saint did not need to rush to answer, for both answers were wrong. After so many years, does the saint really still miss this old Taoist? ”

Ling Qi knew that this was just a sophistry, but what the two of them needed was the steps given by this sophistry, if this holy woman was not in vain, then ......

The woman was stunned for a moment, then took out a piece of paper from her arms, and said with a smile on her face: "Is this agreement still counted?" ”
