Chen Sheng walked to no one's place, tilted his head slightly, and an old man suddenly appeared beside him.

"Your Excellency?" Chen Sheng was surprised.

The old man rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Don't coax me, you probably guessed that I was going to see you, right?"

Chen Sheng rolled up his sleeves and did not speak.

"If you don't deny it, you admit it!" the old man smiled lightly, stretched out his hand and pointed in front of him, the vast landscape slowly disappeared, and pieces of jasper slabs appeared.

"What is this?" Chen Sheng was puzzled, he could see a lot of extraordinaryness from the stone slab, Baoguang was introverted, and had its own atmosphere.

The envoy smiled, waved his sleeves and took away the stone road, and said, "Have you ever heard of the road to the heart?"

Seeing the curiosity that Chen Sheng tried his best to hide, the old man smiled bitterly and explained: "It is a treasure in the secret realm, which can help the monk ask himself, there are always things that are difficult to let go of on the path of cultivation, you should always know this, right? Originally, I shouldn't have given you monks from the outside world, but now I want to give you a chance." ”

Chen Sheng raised his eyebrows, "Because of my identity?"

The old man nodded and said with a smile: "Yes and no, if there is only one Dao pioneer, he is not qualified to do so." ”

As he spoke, the old man glanced at Chen Sheng and found that his face was calm and there was no wave in the ancient well.

The ushersman smiled, "Don't think the old man is a good person?"

Chen Sheng didn't hide it, nodded and said: "I always feel that my predecessors have a plan, and it is the most tiring to suffer without merit." ”

The old man pondered for a moment, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was chewy.

After a while, the old man came back to his senses and laughed at himself: "So the old man's thoughts still hurt you?"

Chen Sheng shook his head, "No, if the seniors can mention a few conditions after the word "but", the juniors will be very useful." ”

The old man laughed, and at this moment he felt that this young man was really qualified to walk on the stone road that pointed directly to the Dao, rather than relying on the shadow of adults and his own selfishness.

Thinking of this old man, he breathed a sigh of relief, and the guilt that was originally used to knock on the heart path was subdued a lot.

Quietly pinching off a few insignificant sums, the old man handed the prepared scroll to Chen Sheng.

Unfolded it, Chen Sheng is face was full of wry smiles, there are not many conditions on it, just three.

Chen Sheng's headache at the moment is that the chief steward of the Sun Peak, who is now more and more competent, may feel that this is a loss-making transaction.

Seeing through the young man's mind, the old man grinned and said, "I'm thinking about the thoughts of those teenagers, I'm afraid there will be objections?"

Chen Sheng nodded and spoke worriedly.

The old man with a smile in his eyes laughed after hearing this, patted Chen Sheng's shoulder to pack the ticket, the chief steward not only did not have any complaints, but even beat his chest, hating that the conditions were not ruthless enough.

"Really?" Chen Sheng's face was full of suspicion.

The old man nodded heavily, "Tong Su is not a bully!"

Chen Sheng smiled casually: "Okay, if you say this, I have done this business even if it is a loss." ”

The old man with a solemn face raised his palm slightly, and the next moment he appeared with Chen Sheng in a claustrophobic deep valley.

To some extent, this ordinary looking old man is the master of this secret realm, a god-like existence.

It's just that because of the rules, he can't directly intervene in some things, and his behavior with Chen Sheng at this moment can be called fake public and private.

But no one saw him.

The old man opened his mouth and smiled, but no sound came out.

Chen Sheng squinted ahead, and on the most conspicuous stone slab, there was a much illusory jasper slab suspended, one by one, extending to the height of the sky.

This is the way to knock on the heart. The old man was extremely satisfied with Chen Sheng's performance, only those who were truly firm in their hearts could see the cornerstone underneath, and then how much they could see was purely because of this person's level of cultivation.

Chen Sheng nodded suddenly, walked over step by step, and after stepping on the stone slab, the scenery in front of him suddenly changed.

In a quiet mountain village, on an ancient tree at the head of the village, a five- or six-year-old child lies on a branch, his limbs swaying in the wind.

There are four small bowls underneath, and with water, all the blood that falls is caught and dissolved.

"This is?" Chen Sheng frowned slightly, feeling that this scene was somewhat familiar.

The child's wrists and ankles were cut, blood was running low, and he was muttering in his mouth.

Chen Sheng leaned over to listen, and his heart was shocked.

What the kid is calling out is, Master!

The child's facial features gradually coincided with a teenager, and finally a scene appeared in Chen Sheng's heart.

The boy sat on the top of the hill with his sword in hand, and beside him lay a huge stone in which the mist was thick.

Chen Sheng saw that the young man's wrists were scarred all over the place, his eyes were deep, and there was an old man standing in front of him, with a white gourd hanging from his waist.

"Xiao Yu, drink?" The old man was disrespectful, first took a sip of the wine in the pot, and then handed it to the young man, with a hippie smile.

The young man didn't bother to raise his head, and slapped the old man's palm casually, sparing the words like gold: "Don't drink!"

The old man was dismissed, and he was not ashamed, but he just gathered his clothes, and for no reason felt that the strong wind was blowing, and sat beside the young man.

"Xiao Luoyu, are you still blaming the master, thinking that I went late?" The old man's eyes were gloomy, rubbing a bead hanging from his sleeve.

The young man Chen Luoyu smiled rarely, and said, "It's good that the master can come." ”

The old man wiped his face, felt warm in his heart, and reached out to rub the little apprentice's head, even if it made the little guy wrinkle his face, he didn't care.

"Alas~ Now this Tibetan Moon Mountain is really deserted. The old man sighed suddenly, and immediately noticed that his disciple's expression was gloomy.

Hurriedly slapped his mouth, the old man put his arms around the young man and began to pour wine.

However, after a while, the starry night was silent, and the old man picked up the young man who was rarely asleep and went down the stone steps.

The corners of Chen Sheng's mouth trembled, and for the first time, he saw the old man's face clearly, which was no different from the master in his memory.

Two lines of hot tears fell from his cheeks, and the old man stopped on the stone steps an inch in front of Chen Sheng, his eyes puzzled.

The old man stared at it for a long time without seeing anything abnormal, and then he threw up his sleeves and left, muttering in his mouth: "Is it too much regression?"

Laughing at himself, the old man walked slowly.

Chen Sheng stood behind him, his eyes flickering and swimming, and then he stepped to follow.

In the quiet water valley, the guide made his body stand straight, staring at the young man who closed his eyes and walked up the stone steps but walked exceptionally smoothly, Yingying smiled.

...............

"Liu Jindan, have you detected anything abnormal?" The black-robed young man approached and stared at a piece of bronze ancient jade in Liu Jindan's hand.

There is a beam of light needles swinging on the jade, rotating around uncertainly, and the speed is not hurried or slow.

Liu Jindan was sweating profusely, put away the ancient jade and stood up straight, his whole body as if he had been fished out of water.

"The surname Liu, hurry up!" Yin Shi kicked over, and quietly pulled out a shining stone from the wall in his hand.

Liu Jindan grinned, "A good news and a bad news, which one to listen to first?"

The black-robed young man was stunned and said, "First come the bad news." ”

"The bad news is that we're stuck here, and we don't have a chance to escape for seventeen or eighteen days. ”

Yin Shi was stunned, what kind of good news is this?

Seeing his expression, Liu Jindan smiled and said, "The good news is that there is no fifth-order leader in this gold-swallowing rat's nest, only three fourth-order gold-swallowing rats. ”

The black-robed boy let out a sigh of relief, so at least as long as he was cautious, it was enough for the two of them to join forces to save their lives in the lair.

"So?" Yin Shi's eyes lit up, and he looked at Liu Jindan with a wicked smile on his face.

Liu Jindan smiled, shook his feet, and began to collect all kinds of gems in his eyes.

"Liu Jindan, your uncle!" Yin Shi scolded, and his hand movements were not much faster than Liu Jindan, and he was not picky at all.

Everything that caught his eye was in his pocket, and soon the black-robed young man was filled with a few Qiankun bags, and his heart took off his robe.

Liu Jindan laughed when he saw it, took out a jasper ring and threw it over, and the lion opened his mouth: "I'm nine for you, and I don't pick one with low quality, depending on the color." ”

Yin Shi had a dark face, and finally figured it out a little, smiled, and moved faster than before.

"What's crazy about this kid?" Liu Jindan was stunned, his eyes flashed, and he suddenly scolded: "The underworld of the dog's day, return my gift ring!"

"Don't think!" the black-robed young man sneered and ran over.

It doesn't matter who you are!

The two teenagers chased after each other, not noticing that there were a few pairs of small eyes behind them.

The guide made his expression move slightly, unfolded a water mirror with his hand, looked at the two teenagers inside, and then looked at the two huge rat heads not far away.

"It's a lucky thing, but I don't know if I can catch this luck. ”

With nothing to do left and right, the old man folded his arms and began to watch quietly.

As for such a trivial matter as saving the two of them or how to do it, the old man neither cared nor could he do it.

Chen Sheng's footsteps moved slightly, and his vision changed again.

"Thirteen, come, it's time to eat. A woman with a vague face waved her hand in a gentle voice.

The young man who was playing with children of the same age suddenly turned around, revealing a face exactly the same as Chen Sheng, and shouted softly at the woman: "Mother!"

A man came to the end of the village, carrying a bamboo stick in his hand, and waved at the children who refused to disperse.

Seven or eight children scattered in a hurry, and the bolder ones made a grimace at the man.

Chen Sheng chuckled and stepped to keep up with his childhood "self", this memory did not exist in the mind of the dead Chen Shisan, it was unknown to him.

The man dispersed the children and did not go far, but slowly walked to Chen Sheng's side, nodded in greeting, and then drifted away.

Chen Sheng's heart was slightly adjusted, he wrote down the man's breath and whereabouts, and decided to visit him in the future.

The man walked through a small door, and in a moment the smoke curled up.

When the people on both sides saw the man dressed as a farmer, they all smiled, and some of the bold women even threw flattering glances at him.

Most of the women in the village fell in love with him, it was a secret in the village, and even occasionally, some women who had not left the cabinet would go to the door, stuff a pink letter into it, and then leave with a red face.

At this time, the man in the village who saw this scene looked at the shy posture of the girl he liked, and occasionally became jealous.

But when facing that man, his face was full of humility and his demeanor was polite.

The man would bow slightly, slap the man's wrist with his fingers, and say a few words of comfort.

The behavior of the villagers has long been a common practice, as has been the case for thousands of years.
