In the deep mountains, Bai Jiangli bypassed countless dangerous roads and walked slowly.

After several more traps, she slid into a cave.

In front of the cave door, she hesitantly stretched out her slender hand.

After some psychological struggle, she decided to press the button on the door, and the stone door burst open.

In front of her was an old man sitting on a futon with his back to her.

Bai Jiangli walked over lightly and knelt on another futon.

The old man slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were endlessly cloudy, and he sighed softly: "What are you here for?"

Bai Jiangli said softly: "I want to go out of the mountain." ”

The old man seemed a little surprised, and his tone was faintly puzzled: "Out of the mountain?"

"Hmm. ”

"Why?" asked the old man casually.

"I'm about to break through the demon eradication period, and I need to experience all kinds of life and kill the demons in my heart. ”

The old man bowed slightly: "Heart demon, is it ......?"

Bai Jiangli revealed a trace of her own spiritual pressure, obviously to the level of the late stage of Jindan! Since she saw the soul shadow of her parents that day, she seemed to have gained some kind of relief, and her cultivation naturally broke through.

"Okay, in a few days, you will go out of the mountain. After a moment, the old man answered.

Bai Jiangli stood up, turned his head and left.

"Wait!" the old man called out suddenly.

"What else do you command?" Bai Jiangli turned around and bowed.

"You ......," the old man pondered for a while, "that Lin Zize, isn't it time to go out to practice?"

Bai Jiang was expressionless: "It should be so." ”

The old man said, "Kill him and avenge the Iwaji." ”

"Huh?" Bai Jiangli subconsciously expressed doubt.

"Why? you don't want to?" the old man snorted, "Didn't you say you had to kill him?" ”

"But......" Bai Jiang turned his eyes away and found an excuse for himself, "Monk Jindan has already led the Dao into his body and has been recognized by the Heavenly Dao, if I kill him at this time, I am afraid that I will get the backlash of the Heavenly Dao, and the process of removing the demons in my heart will be more difficult." ”

The old man was silent for a moment, then answered, he took out a mask from his bosom and threw it at Bai Jiangli.

Bai Jiang reflexively dodged, but as soon as she took half a step, she saw clearly that it was a mask flying in, so she stopped and stretched out her hand to take it.

"This ......" Bai Jiangli will never mistake this magic weapon that has been by his side for more than ten years.

The old man's voice was much calmer: "I have repaired your broken mask in the ruins. If you can't hide your natural charm in the human world, it is extremely dangerous. ”

Bai Jiangli's gaze was a little complicated, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he still spit out two words as thin as mosquitoes and flies: "Thank you." ”

The old man seemed to be surprised by these two words, and after being stunned for a moment, he burst out laughing: "You and my ancestors and grandchildren, why do you need to say thank you? Li'er, when you go out, you must pay attention to safety, you are already me...... The only loved one left. ”

Bai Jiangli tightened her grip on the mask, the green tendons on the back of her white hand were revealed, she tried to contain her complicated emotions, and stiffened her voice: "Yes." ”

Feeling that Bai Jiangli had left, the old man sighed heavily: "Come out, the old man has something to explain to you." ”

In the dark, an elegant-looking man walked slowly: "I don't know what the adults command?"

If Bai Jiangli hadn't retreated, she would definitely recognize this person in front of her! But I'm afraid she would never have guessed that this person would actually have a connection with her grandfather!

The old man hesitated for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Li'er, does she already know the truth about what happened sixteen years ago?"

Zheng Boyang saluted respectfully: "Yes, I have already told Miss indirectly according to the meaning of the adult." ”

"Okay......" The old man breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't notice that his body was still tense strangely, "No wonder this time, she is so estranged from me, and even a 'grandfather' is stingy to call ......"

"That's it, the old man is not a person who doesn't dare to admit his mistakes, Yan'er was killed by the old man after all......" Speaking of this, his mood fluctuated violently, and he coughed several times in a row, "However, the person who uses the old man will definitely pay the price!"

Zheng Boyang was silent, waiting for the old man to calm down.

After a while, the old man said again: "Over the years, you have been helping the old man train and deploy in the dark, and you have worked hard." ”

Zheng Boyang said: "Don't dare, don't dare." These are all things that are within the scope of subordinates, and if there is no cultivation by adults, there will be no subordinates today. ”

The old man nodded, as if he was extremely satisfied with Zheng Boyang's reply: "Li'er is now out of the mountain to practice, and send a few capable people to protect her." ”

Zheng Boyang hurriedly said yes.

"You stand down, the old man is going to retreat, and break through the bottleneck in the late stage of the Great Dao in one fell swoop. ”

Zheng Boyang said yes again, but he stopped as soon as he took a step back, as if he was hesitating about something.

The old man frowned: "What else is the matter?"

Zheng Boyang pondered for a moment: "This matter ...... It's about the young lady, and the subordinates don't know whether to say it or not. ”

"Oh, has something to do with Li'er?" the old man's frowning eyebrows loosened, "but it doesn't hurt. ”

Zheng Boyang held his breath and said, "During this operation at the outer gate, my subordinates found that Miss ...... I seem to have a little bit of a good impression of that Lin Zize......"

"What?" the old man's eyebrows furrowed, "are you serious?"

Zheng Boyang nodded heavily: "That's true." ”

The old man was silent for a moment, then chuckled: "Is that so...... No wonder she used such a lame reason......"

"What do you mean by ......"

The old man sneered: "If it weren't for Lin Zize, the old man would have relied on her." But...... Disciple of Daoqing...... Hehe, you send someone, do it cleanly. ”

"Yes!"

......

Lin Zize sent the two junior brothers away.

As for Ling'er, it was naturally handed over to Zhang Zifang for him to take care of.

After all, Ling'er is Zhang Zifang's spiritual pet, and he has no reason to occupy it.

However, after listening to Zhang Zifang's suggestion, he suddenly felt that the first stop of the experience seemed to be a good way to go to the mortal world......

What is the exorcism of demons?

So what is a demon in the heart?

At the stage of defending the Tao, the monk needs to understand what the "Tao" is.

However, in the process of defending the Dao, the monk will continue to waver or even question the path of defending his "Dao", which will greatly affect the Dao heart, and if the Dao heart is broken, the cultivation will be in vain.

And those thoughts and actions that shake one's Dao heart are collectively called "inner demons."

Therefore, on the road of exploring the "Tao", there is such a stage - the period of exterminating demons.

At this stage, the monk can understand and deepen his own "Tao" by seeing and hearing the various states of life, so as to have a deeper resonance with his "Tao".

Only by constantly consolidating one's own "Dao" can one move to the top of the cultivation realm and the final "Dao"!

Therefore, after some thought, Lin Zize decided to go to the mortal world to take a look first......
