In the back garden of the Protector's Mansion, Dao Wuming leaned under the rockery, holding a wine jug in his hand, and was drinking, suddenly, only to hear a footstep slowly approaching the rockery.

Hearing this, Dao Wuming frowned slightly, and said: "If you come, you will come, why don't you hurry up and get out, and drink two glasses with Lao Tzu!" ”

Then, Li Ling, who was dressed in black, slowly walked out from behind the rockery, bowed down and said, "Daozun ......"

Without waiting for Li Ling to continue speaking, Dao Wuming frowned, his phoenix eyes were threatening, and he said angrily: "Stinky boy, when did you become so restrained? One bite at a time, Lao Tzu's whole body is itchy and numb, I still think it's more comfortable to call me an old drunkard! ”

In the past, when they were in Tianji Dao, Li Ling and Dao Wuming were both well-known drunkards, and both of them called each other old drunkards and little drunkards, but now they see each other, but they are things and people.

Li Ling sighed and said, "Hey, Daozun, everything is in the past, and there are some things, once they have passed, they can't go back." ”

"Fart!" Dao Nameless said angrily: "In the eyes of Lao Tzu, you are still you, or the old drunkard who was greedy for alcohol, and I am still the old drunkard who is addicted to alcohol, we are a natural pair, what's the difference!" After that, Dao Wuming actually threw the wine jug in his hand to Li Ling on the other side.

Li Ling took the wine jug, looked at the wine jug in his hand, frowned slightly, and then threw the wine jug in his hand to Dao Wuming.

Dao Wuming caught the wine jug, then looked at Li Ling blankly, and said in a lost voice: "No, stinky boy, have you really quit drinking?" ”

Li Ling sighed helplessly and said, "Hey, since Xin'er was unconscious, I haven't touched wine again." ”

Hearing this, Dao Wuming shook his head helplessly, a tingling pain in his heart, and said in his heart: "Is this cold person in front of him still the Li Ling he knew before?" A person has changed so much, and what he can't accept the most is that Li Ling, who was addicted to alcohol before, actually quit drinking. What a harsh reality a person goes through to make such a big change. ”

Subsequently, Dao Wuming drank all the wine in the wine pot in his hand, sighed, and said: "Hey, it's okay to quit, drinking is not good for the body, and it's easy to make mistakes, so quit if you can." At that time, in order to force me to quit drinking, my brother did not hesitate to lock me in a secret room, but unfortunately I failed my brother's kindness......"

Hearing this, Li Ling suddenly snorted, and then said, "Oh yes, I originally planned to go to Tianji Dao after the matter is over." Now that Daozun is here, it's just right, and I can also hand over things to you with peace of mind. Then, Li Ling took out a jade pendant from his arms, the jade pendant was crystal clear, but the surface of the jade pendant was engraved with the word "Dao".

At first glance, seeing the jade pendant in Li Ling's hand, Dao Nameless's eyes showed a look of shock, and his eyes were even more fixed on the jade pendant in Li Ling's hand. This jade pendant is my senior brother's personal belongings, and it is also the token of the head of the Heavenly Machine Dao, where did you get it? ”

Li Ling saw Dao Wuming's anxious look, and then sighed and said, "Dao Zun, you have to mourn!" This jade pendant was handed over to me by the Wuji Dao Venerable himself......"

"Senior brother handed it over to you with his own hands? That senior brother, he ......" Dao Wuji asked anxiously.

Li Ling sighed helplessly and said, "Dao Wuji's predecessor is dead!" ”

"No, it's impossible...... Senior brother is invincible in the world, how can he die? How can you die? Impossible......" Dao Nameless is crazy Dao at this time.

Seeing this, Li Ling opened his mouth to persuade him: "Daozun Festival mourns, people live for a lifetime, and sooner or later they will die, not to mention that Dao Wuji's predecessor died for the woman he loved, and then he can be buried with the woman he likes, he should also smile Jiuquan." ”

Hearing this, Dao Wuming's face sank, and his mood stabilized a little, and then he asked, "Stinky boy, tell me quickly, how did the senior brother die!" ”

Seeing this, Li Ling could only tell Dao Wuming everything that happened in the deep valley.

After hearing this, Dao Wuming sighed leisurely and said: "Hey, the senior brother and the crazy woman were talented and beautiful, but it's a pity that the senior brother was concerned about the heavy responsibility of the family's revival, so he could only leave his feelings behind." Later, there was an incident in the senior brother's family, everything the senior brother had paid was in vain, and the senior brother was disheartened, and he actually came up with the idea of becoming a monk, and finally founded the Heavenly Machine Dao in Yunshan, leaving behind the old things. And the wish between the senior brother and Mu Hongsleeve will come to an end. ”

"Yes, although Dao Wuji's predecessors are monks, they still think about Mu City Lord in their hearts, if it weren't for this, Dao Wuji's predecessors would not be able to defeat Dugu Ming for Mu City Lord." Li Ling said.

"Yes, I didn't expect my senior brother to be a hero, but he was also trapped by love, so that in the end, life and death disappeared. Although the senior brother died in the hands of Dugu Ming, Dugu Ming is also dead, as the so-called death is empty, this hatred will end like this. Dao said helplessly.

Li Ling nodded and said, "Yes, when is the time for retribution, not to mention, Dugu Ming was also taken advantage of, the real careerist and conspirator is Hua Wuxi." Then, Li Ling handed the jade pendant in his hand to Dao Wuming, and said: "Daozun, this jade pendant is the inheritance of the Heavenly Machine Dao, and now I will hand it over to Daozun, and it will be returned to the original owner." ”

Dao Wuji looked at the jade pendant in Li Ling's hand, but he smiled faintly and said, "Stinky boy, you are very smart, don't you know the intention of Senior Brother's move?" ”

Li Ling looked at the jade pendant in his hand, but shook his head blankly.

Dao Wuming continued: "Ling boy, the jade pendant in your hand is just a dead thing, and it doesn't really matter whose hands the jade pendant is. And you have obtained the true inheritance of Senior Brother Wuji Xuanyi's divine skill, and you are the candidate for the head of the Heavenly Machine Dao designated by Senior Brother. Senior brother will give you the jade pendant, which is exactly what it means! ”

When Li Ling heard this, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he said helplessly: "Daozun, you know my affairs best. Back then, in the capital of the Great Qin Emperor, Xin'er ran out of blood in order to save me, and almost died, but now, I am already a demonic body, the demonic nature in my body is getting heavier and heavier, and the demonic energy is getting deeper and deeper, I am afraid that it will not be long before I will be unable to control myself and die of madness. With my current state, how can I still be the head of the Heavenly Machine Dao? ”

Dao Wuming shook his head slightly at this time, and said: "Ling boy, let me tell you, becoming a Buddha and becoming a demon, all in one thought, you enter the demon because of the heart knot, as long as your heart knot is opened, the demonic nature will naturally disappear, when the time comes, you abandon the demon and return to the Tao, maybe you can become a generation of Dao Zun who is famous in Kyushu!" ”

"Daozun, I don't dare to be delusional, now, I just want to go back and save my heart after dealing with the matter of Hua Wuxian!" Li Ling said.

"Saving people? Do you have a solution? Dao asked namelessly.

"There's a way!" Li Ling said: "At the beginning of the mysterious dungeon, I got the secret sword hidden in the palace, and the sword is attached to the peerless supernatural power of the Nine Swords Heavenly Book, as long as I can collect all the nine swords and cultivate the secret book in the sword, I should be able to save my heart." ”

"Should it be?" Dao Wuji continued: "So, you are not completely sure? Do you know the whereabouts of the Nine Swords now? ”

Li Ling said: "At the beginning of the battle in the deep valley, Dao Wuji's predecessors showed their might and scared away Dugu Ming and Yu Lingbo, but later, due to my carelessness, the eight divine swords left by Dugu Ming were indeed taken away by Lei Xingtian. ”

"Thunder Punishment Heaven?" Dao Nameless said: "Hey, since Lei Xingtian has obtained the Divine Sword, how can he be willing to hand it over?" What's more, Lei Xingtian holds eight divine swords in his hand, and once he cultivates the secret book in the sword, it will also become a disaster! ”

Li Ling nodded and said, "Yes, but now, we can't take care of so much, the situation on Hua Wuji's side is more serious, the lesser of two evils, and now we can only deal with Hua Wuji's matter first." By the way, Dao Zun, as far as I know, Tianji Dao has rarely walked around Kyushu in the past ten years, and this time I ...... down the mountain."

Dao Wuming smiled bitterly, and said helplessly: "Nonsense, do you think Lao Tzu is willing." There is no way, our Yunshan is located in Yongzhou, the middle region, which is the territory of Hua Wuji, if we don't make a move, I am afraid that after Hua Wuxian becomes bigger, it will attack our Tianji Dao. So, this time, after discussing it, we decided to give it a go. ”

Li Ling nodded and said, "Yes, with Hua Wuxi's current cultivation, it has indeed become the number one disaster in Kyushu." Shangguan Nan, Yue Gang and Dugu Ming of the Divine Dragon Gang died under the Heaven Devouring Demon Skill one after another, which is really worrying. Although the plan is thorough this time, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no mistakes, and when the time comes, we will try our best to ensure that the disciples of the Heavenly Machine Dao leave, this is what I promised to the Dao Wuji seniors. With that, Li Ling handed over the jade pendant in his hand, and then left slowly.

Dao Wuming took the jade pendant and said in his heart: "Senior brother, you really didn't see the wrong person, although Ling Xiaozi is now a demon, his heart has not changed, and there is still salvation!" Then, Dao Wuming looked at the jade pendant in his hand and said to himself: "Boy, this jade pendant of the head will be hung on your body sooner or later." ”

In another room, Xiao Wu, Xiao Liu and Ming Fei sat opposite the table, the three of them have been friends since childhood, and now they haven't seen each other for a long time, so they naturally have a lot to say. Ming Fei told Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu about his experience, and when they learned that Ming Fei's cultivation was exhausted, their faces showed a trace of solemnity.

"Young master, now, your cultivation is in ruins, and you should be more careful in everything. You don't have to participate in this operation, after all, robbing people in the palace is really dangerous......" Xiao Wudao.

"No!" Before Xiao Wu finished speaking, Ming Fei replied: "Now, the war is about to start, as the leader of the Shenlong Gang, and on behalf of my father, if I don't go, won't it cause people to be suspicious?" So, this operation, I must go! ”

When Xiao Liu heard this, he also nodded and said: "Five, what the young master said is very true, this action is extraordinary, if the young master doesn't go, others will be suspicious of us." Don't worry, when the time comes, I will follow the young master to protect you! ”

Xiao Wu thought for a moment, nodded slightly, and said, "Now, that's the only way." After all, on the side of the nine factions and eighty-one gates, if there was no young master in charge, those people would not go. ”

At this time, on the eve of the war, everyone involved in the operation had their own ideas, although everyone had the same goal, all to deal with Hua Wuxi, but their minds were different, and the purpose was not so simple. However, by now, Hua Wuxian has endangered all factions in Kyushu, so although everyone has their own thoughts, they still hope that this battle can be successful and rescue many hostages in one fell swoop.
