Shuhua walked into the gate, all the way unimpeded, only to see the ruins, dead vines and weeds.

Suddenly, the shattered souls flying around her stopped.

They reluctantly touched her for a moment, then scattered, disappearing into the mountains.

A wooden pavilion suddenly appeared in front of it, and in the middle of the stone table, a broken lamp, a fat old man with gray hair sat there, drinking wine with a plate of crispy beans.

Shuhua carefully observed and confirmed that it was just a divine soul, but the breath was mild and clean, there was no evil qi and demonic energy, and the cultivation was not high, only Yuan Ying.

Overall, it's safer.

The fat old man beckoned to her with a smile: "Little Daoyou, meeting is fate, come and drink." ”

Shuhua walked over and greeted politely: "I'm looking for someone, I don't know if you've seen any strange people and things recently?" ”

The fat old man poured her wine, looking ashamed: "I'm really embarrassed, the family is ruined, there is no good wine and food, and I don't have a pair of chopsticks." If you are wronged, just eat it with your hands. ”

Shuhua didn't dare to drink or eat: "You're welcome, I'm not hungry." ”

The fat old man took a sip of wine, ate another crispy bean, squinted his eyes and said contentedly: "Don't be unkind, when you reach my age, you will know how rare it is to be able to drink a pot of wine and eat a plate of beans in peace." ”

Of course, Shuhua knew that it was a very happy thing to be able to eat and drink without distractions, but she really couldn't care about it at this time: "Have you seen any strange people and things recently?" ”

The fat old man looked at her with a smile: "Why is Xiaoyou in such a hurry?" If you want to ask someone to do something, you have to make them happy first. ”

Shuhua was stunned.

A voice rang in her head.

"Why is this kid in such a hurry? If you want to ask someone to do something, you have to make them happy first. ”

The voice was so familiar and intimate, it made her want to cry inexplicably.

This is a monster that is good at disguise and bewitchment, right?

Why did you give her this delusion?

Shuhua stared at the fat old man vigilantly, and the more he looked, the more he felt that the other party was unfathomable.

Maybe this kind of cultivation in the infancy stage also suppressed the deception, after all, she often did similar things.

The fat old man didn't notice her defenses at all, and continued: "For example, at this moment, if I want to find someone to talk to, you should chat with me first, and then ask me questions. ”

Let's talk about it first. Shuhua asked, "I don't know what you want to talk about?" ”

The fat old man sat on his lap and looked at her with his eyes open: "I have been here alone for many years, and I hardly speak, and I don't know what to talk about. ”

Since this is the case, Shuhua came according to his own heart: "So, are you from the Nanshan Daozun Mansion?" ”

"Of course! I was born, raised, married, and born here...... Don't look at this place so dilapidated, it was very lively in the early years. People come and go, flowers are brocade, and the fire is cooking. ”

The fat old man sighed: "It's a pity, since the fall of the master, the entire mansion tree has fallen and scattered, and everyone who should have left has left, and I am the only one left." ”

Shuhua heard the sentence "the master has fallen", guessing that he was a subordinate or servant of Nanshan Daozun, so he praised Nanshan Daozun a few words.

"I heard that this Taoist Venerable has a gentle and charitable temperament and cherishes his people very much, and I just came in, and many living beings and broken souls escorted me here. If it weren't for the good deeds of the government, they wouldn't do it. ”

When she said this, it was not a nonsense of conscience.

First, Nanshan Daozun has no bad reputation.

Second, the broken soul is the weakest, and in order to protect itself, it will seek good fortune and avoid evil.

The fat old man smiled from the bottom of his heart, and was slightly embarrassed.

"Dao Zun is indeed mild-tempered, and he doesn't have any bad intentions. It's a pity that I don't have enough ability to harm others and myself. ”

When Shuhua heard that there was a play, he hurriedly asked, "What do you say?" ”

The fat old man buried his head and drank several glasses of wine before he said in a deep voice, "I'll tell you a story." ”

"There are five paths in the mountain and sea realm, the South Mountain Road, Hokkaido, the Nakasendo Road, the Saisha Road, and the East Longitude Road.

If you come from outside, you probably know that Nanshan Dao is now the source of the aura of the entire mountain and sea realm, the granary of fish and rice.

But in the early years, it was not like this, Nanshan Dao came out with an ancestral master, who was very powerful, and he cultivated to the gods at a young age.

Xianting sent someone to pick him up, but he didn't go, saying that he wanted to be the first person in the Three Realms, and said that he would challenge the way of heaven and replace him with his body. ”

The fat old man stopped and asked Shuhua with a smile: "Do you say he is arrogant?" ”

"Arrogance! It's so arrogant! ”

Shuhua nodded in agreement, and while he was engaged, he quietly poked out the roots and walked slowly and cautiously through the ground to find the breath of the tenth corpse.

The fat old man continued: "It is this kind of arrogance that has brought unwarranted disasters to Nanshan Dao. Three hundred and sixty purple gold thunderstorms descended from the Heavenly Dao, splitting him to the point that there was no scum left.

He died cleanly, but Nanshan Road has been in drought since then, with two droughts in three years, and the people are not able to make a living, and those who can escape have fled. The rest cannot be escaped.

In this case, a person who is not very good in cultivation and ability has become a Nanshan Daozun because of his family inheritance.

After a few decades of hard work, I thought it would be like this. But that year, he suddenly had good luck! ”

The fat old man was very funny, and when he said this, he deliberately stopped and asked Shuhua: "Guess what, what kind of good luck did he have?" ”

Shuhua immediately said: "He entered the secret realm and got the inheritance left by the ancient power!" ”

The fat old man laughed "haha": "Guess again, guess again." ”

Shuhua guessed in turn: "That is, I got an extraordinary elixir, cut the bones and wash the marrow, and my cultivation rose greatly!" Otherwise, it is the favor and support of the big guys! Or, got a fortune? ”

"You girl, you're still young. There are many kinds of good luck in life, not only to be promoted to make a fortune and learn skills. ”

"For example, I made a rare confidant and friend; Another example is that I met a lover who can be entrusted for life and is in love; Another example is giving birth to a good child. ”

The fat old man stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Nanshan Daozun, I gave birth to a baby daughter!" ”

He gestured there with a pair of fat hands, his eyes full of pity and joy.

"This daughter has inherited all the strengths of her untalented parents, the bad thing is that she has not touched any of them, she is tall and fit, she looks good and is very smart, she is righteous and straightforward, she is a rare cultivation genius."

He asked Shuhua again: "Little friend, as far as you know, how many years does it take for a mortal fetus to cultivate to a true immortal?" ”

Shuhua saw the eagerness and expectation in his eyes, so he said tentatively: "Six hundred years? ”

Cultivating immortals not only requires talent and hard work, but also chance.

Many cultivators simply can't cultivate to a true immortal, and they stop at a certain stage very early.

She felt that six hundred years was almost there, and she was already a supreme genius.

"More than four hundred years." The fat old man stretched out four short and fat fingers, and was honored: "She cultivated to the god at the age of 100, to the tribulation at the age of 200, and to the true immortal at the age of more than 400." ”

"That's really good."

Shuhua had already determined that this was the legendary lady of Lingze, and she anxiously asked, "And then?" ”
