Chapter 82: The Knife Edge

"Coming?"

In the center of the courtyard, there is a statue of incense, but the incense is not strong, so the sandalwood fragrance in the courtyard is not heavy, the new moon and a Tsing Yi Taoist sit opposite each other, holding a white child, and do not look back, and greet Cao An, the white deer demon is nesting in the corner of the wall, leisurely enjoying the coolness before the dark night on the top of the mountain.

"It's coming!"

The Taoist is a middle-aged man, he perfectly fits all Cao An's impressions of the Taoist at this age, his face is clear, his eyes are different, the cyan robe is a little whitish after washing, and the buttons are meticulous.

got up, with a gentle smile on his face, and said to Cao An.

"Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable!"

Cao An's face was straight, and he returned the salute respectfully.

"Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable!"

The Taoist priest's smile did not change, and with a long sleeve, he motioned for Cao An to sit down.

Xinyue looked at him curiously, and then looked at the Taoist chief next to him, "Even I have been with him for a while, and I know that he is half a Taoist, how do you Chiyangzi know?" ”

"Poor Dao is just from the recitation of the words of the Great Protector of the Crescent Moon to Cao Daoyou."

"This is another great protector I taught, named Chiyangzi, this sword view is his, and the one-handed knife dragging technique is superb, and there are few opponents in the same realm."

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be!"

"We met by chance outside the clouds, and when we learned that you hadn't come out of the secret realm yet, we came here first, and there was no movement for ten days in a row, and I thought there was something wrong with your dog's perception." The crescent moon throws the chess pieces.

"No, no, it's too torturous to play chess with you Chiyangzi, I'd rather go outside to find a martial artist in the same realm to fight, and I don't want to play chess with you."

Chiyangzi didn't care, waved his sleeves, collected the chess pieces, and called the boy to put the tea on the table.

"My fellow Daoist seems to have something to ask, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

Cao An smiled awkwardly, he usually doesn't have too many mood fluctuations, but the city government can't be said to be deep, and it is reasonable to be easily detected by others.

"I'm just thinking, you are the Taoist Leader, and you are the Great Protector of the Divine Sect ......" Speaking of this, Cao An didn't know how to speak for a while, when it comes to the issue of faith, you can't say that others don't respect faith.

Chiyangzi heard what Cao An meant, and smiled, "In the Divine Sect, for the martial artists of our realm, it is somewhat more lenient, such as in faith. ”

Xinyue covered her mouth and chuckled, "I didn't expect you to ask about this, what is this, are those family gate lords worshipping really completely loyal to their family?" Are those sect disciples really dedicated to the interests of the sect? Impossible, Cao An, in the final analysis, the Divine Sect is actually just a sect force. ”

"The difference is only that the existence form and nature of the Divine Cult make us need some different methods and rules, I do not deny that there are indeed many fanatical believers within the Divine Cult, but within the Divine Cult, there are also many overhauls like Chiyangzi, and the Divine Cult has a mutually beneficial relationship with them, and it has nothing to do with faith."

Cao An laughed at himself, this truth is actually very simple, but he didn't expect it subconsciously.

"That's the reason, Poor Dao and the Crescent Moon Protector communicated for a few days, which also mentioned a lot of things about Cao Daoyou, that sentence: God loves all living beings, but does not favor all living beings, which is very much in line with my wishes, but unfortunately, you already have a teacher, otherwise Poor Dao will accept apprentices on behalf of the teacher even if he leaves his old face today."

Crescent Moon held her chin in one hand, "Is he good?" ”

"If it's anything else, the poor Dao doesn't dare to talk nonsense, but if it comes to enlightenment, as far as I can see, Cao Daoyou should be a rare piece of jade."

"I'm ashamed, Cao didn't read a few classics, didn't participate in the Taoism for a few days, and he didn't deserve such praise from the Taoist chief."

Chiyangzi is serious. "If you are in the rivers and lakes, talking about your achievements, I Chiyangzi will say two good words, and the sedan chair will carry people, then forget it, but today is in my view, only say this enlightenment and talk about the Tao, then there is absolutely no flattery and exaggeration in it, the Tao is enlightened but not cultivated, and some are not enlightened, even if they read more classics, it is meaningless."

"No matter how long those people have been practicing, they are still the same as if they have never heard the scriptures and have not met a teacher. Can't wake up, avoid the sun, willful and wanton, keep thinking, don't return, immerse yourself in the outer edge, disturb the body and mind. In terms of pure awareness, it is not as good as an ignorant and unknown child. ”

Xiaodao Tong poked his head out to look at the courtyard, but at this time he was startled and shrank back.

Cao An smiled, "In terms of pure awareness, there are really few people in the world who can compare to ignorant and unknown children. ”

Chiyangzi was stunned for a moment, and then he was also happy, "It's too!" ”

"Originally, God gave Poor Dao a secret order, and the traces of the two of you are actually not difficult to find." A few people chatted well, Chiyangzi suddenly changed the topic, and there was a feeling of getting straight to the point, but as soon as he said this, Xinyue's originally relaxed demeanor disappeared, and the whole popularity tensed.

Chiyangzi glanced at it, but he was not angry, he got up and continued: "The Great Protector of the Divine Sect actually followed a man who brought destruction to the Divine Sect, and that man single-handedly destroyed the Divine Sect's hundreds of years of hard work. The secret order is to ask the poor Dao to bring you back the Crescent Moon Protector. ”

"As for Cao Daoyou, if you can take it alive, it is naturally the best, if you can't, it doesn't matter if you die."

"What made the Daoist change his mind?" Cao An asked curiously, he knew that since Chiyangzi had already laid out the carriage and horses and said it straight to the point, it proved that things had taken a turn for the worse, or that he himself did not want to carry out the so-called secret order.

"That secret order appeared before the conflict between you and the Pan family, that is, when you first entered Qingzhou, probably Poor Dao is the only person they can mobilize, the closest to Qingzhou, and the strength is quite passable, Poor Dao was also curious at that time, we don't communicate much with each other about the New Moon Protector, but we know a little about it."

"What kind of person will a man who can make the Crescent Moon Protector willingly follow half of the dynasty?"

Chiyangzi paused, "After the first battle in Qingzhou, Poor Dao once again received a secret order from the Divine Sect, but this time, instead of killing Cao Daoyou, he asked to be friendly with you, if possible, it is best to lead you into the Divine Sect." ”

Xinyue breathed a long sigh of relief, her face still not very good-looking, "So you didn't enter the realm of the clouds at all, and you were waiting for us there?" ”

"Why not? The mission and the trip to the secret realm are not conflicting, it is also a coincidence, the poor road and the crescent moon protector came out of the secret realm almost at the same time, and Cao Daoyou was separated by a full ten days, and with a little operation, there is now a strategy for both worlds, these days, after an exchange with the crescent moon protector, it has made the poor road feel a lot more at ease. ”

Cao An vaguely guessed something, but still asked: "What can you rest assured of?" ”

"The relationship between the two of you!"
