Tao Yuanming heard that Zhong Shenxiu was willing to return the soul imprint to himself, and his heart was overjoyed: "What oath? I made an oath, are you really willing to imprint your soul to me?"

Zhong Shenxiu nodded: "Seriously, the oath is that you need to swear to heaven and earth with your Dao heart, and you will not murder me and Liu Ziji in any way or for any reason, if I or Liu Ziji die unaccidentally, you will have to break your Dao heart and lose your cultivation, can you agree to this oath?"

Tao Yuanming frowned, feeling that this oath was too harsh.

Don't think that you can go back on your vows casually, not to mention that the ancients attached great importance to promises, just say that people in cultivation, once they break their vows, the Dao heart is deficient, and the consequences are definitely very serious.

However, people had to bow their heads under the eaves, and at this time, there was a handle in Zhong Shenxiu's hand, and Tao Yuanming had to succumb.

Therefore, after hesitating for a while, Tao Yuanming still agreed, and obediently swore an oath with his Dao heart.

The next moment Tao Yuanming finished his oath, Zhong Shenxiu received a prompt that the third task was completed.

However, Zhong Shenxiu has not received the task reward for the time being, and it is not too late to get it when he goes out to the Peach Blossom Spring.

Tao Yuanming finished his oath and looked at Zhong Shenxiu.

Zhong Shenxiu smiled: "Don't worry, when we go out of this ancient tomb, I will return my soul to you, after all, I don't want to be trapped in this ancient tomb." ”

Zhong Shenxiu is also careful, in case this old Tao trapped the two in the ancient tomb, he did not break his oath, but also relieved his hatred, but he was not afraid, but Liu Ziji was not a tragedy, even if he did not die, but he was trapped in the ancient tomb for a lifetime, it was more uncomfortable than dying.

Zhong Shenxiu thought well, but Tao Yuanming didn't agree: "Daoist, I don't believe you, if you go out and don't imprint my soul to me, what should I do, I have no way to deal with you, it's better to fight you to the death now." ”

Saying that, Tao Yuanming was ready to be hit hard, and the wind was all over his body, and he would attack in the next moment.

Zhong Shenxiu sighed: "The layman thinks badly, how can I be a person who is untrustworthy." ”

Looking at Tao Yuanming's look of disbelief, Zhong Shenxiu had no choice but to say: "Okay, then let's do it, let Liu Jushi go out first, I will go out after he goes out and I will return my soul to you, what do you think?"

Liu Ziji was moved, and felt that Shenxiu Daoist was really a true cultivator with a high wind and bright festival.

Therefore, Liu Ziji didn't wait for Tao Yuanming to speak, so he spoke first: "Dao Chief, if you want to go together, how can I, Liu Ziji, be a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death." ”

, Uncle Liu, go quickly, don't make any extraneous branches.

Zhong Shenxiu hurriedly stepped forward and said to Liu Ziji: "The layman can rest assured that he will go out, and the poor road has his own way to escape from this place." ”

Liu Ziji looked at Zhong Shenxiu suspiciously: "Dao Chang really has a way, didn't lie to me?"

Zhong Shenxiu said: "Poor Dao, as a true descendant, naturally has supernatural powers to leave here, and the layman does not need to worry, just go out." ”

Liu Ziji saw that Zhong Shenxiu's expression was indifferent and firm, and it seemed that he really had magical powers and confidence, so he no longer insisted, and obediently used the method Zhong Shenxiu told him, walked around the big peach tree three times, and ran out.

During this period, Tao Yuanming just looked at him coldly, did not say a word, and did not stop it, obviously agreeing by default.

Seeing Liu Ziji's smooth escape from the Peach Blossom Spring, Tao Yuanming's expression was very complicated, knowing that he would no longer have Liu Ziji as a friend in the future.

However, everything is worth it in order to become an immortal and live forever.

Tao Yuanming, who looked complex and determined, looked at Zhong Shenxiu: "Daoist, you can return the soul to me." ”

Zhong Shenxiu had already completed his task at this time and could leave here at any time, so he was not in a hurry at all.

Zhong Shenxiu looked at Tao Yuanming with a smile: "Layman, don't worry, why don't we talk first?"

Tao Yuanming said impatiently: "What kind of conspiracy have you come up with?" ”

God is pitiful, this clock Shenxiu really doesn't have any other ideas, he just really wants to talk to Lao Tao.

After all, no matter what, Lao Tao is also the first real historical celebrity he has seen, or the kind of famous thief, who has the mind to gossip.

Zhong Shenxiu saw Tao Yuanming's impatience in his eyes, but he didn't pay attention to it at all, and asked in a good time: "Old Tao, it is said that you have a nickname called Mr. Wuliu, are there really five willow trees in front of your house, do these five willow trees have any special functions, such as fighting ghosts or something?"

Although Tao Yuanming wanted to kill Zhong Shenxiu and seize the two peachwood swords, he had an oath on his body and a soul imprint under him that was mastered by others, so he could only press his temperament and follow Zhong Shenxiu's rhythm.

However, Tao Yuanming was not angry: "There are no special functions." It's just an ordinary five willow trees. ”

"In this way, I thought that your five willow trees were the same as the two jujube trees in front of another powerful house, but they were two jujube trees that hundreds of millions of people couldn't understand. ”

Tao Yuanming suddenly felt that this Taoist priest was a little abnormal at this time, and he couldn't understand what he said at all.

Zhong Shenxiu continued to ask: "Lao Tao, if you don't bend your waist for five buckets of rice, are you really tired of officialdom, or do you think that five buckets of rice are too few and not worth groveling." If it were 50,000 stone rice, would you bend your waist?"

Tao Yuanming's face turned dark and did not answer Zhong Shenxiu.

Fortunately, Zhong Shenxiu didn't expect Tao Yuanming to answer, he just wanted to take the opportunity to ridicule Tao Yuanming.

In Zhong Shenxiu's view, people like Tao Yuanming resigned at a loss, otherwise they would be useless to the people and the country.

If you want to be a useful official for the country and the people, you must resist the turbidity current, keep your heart, neither be assimilated by the turbidity current, nor be knocked down by the turbidity current, and do what you can for the country and the people in a complex environment, this is a follower and a good official.

And like Tao Yuanming, it's better to be his poet, and it's better to be an official or something, so as not to harm others and himself, maybe it will affect his family in the end.

Zhong Shenxiu then asked a few more questions, such as returning to the house, and so on, so he satisfied his curiosity, and finally saw that Tao Yuanming's face was almost black to the bottom of the pot, and then he ended his gossip journey unsatisfactorily.

In the end, Zhong Shenxiu stretched out his hand and took out the six-star peachwood sword, looked at Tao Yuanming and smiled, and with a shake of his hand, a vague soul shook out of the sword, and Tao Yuanming hurriedly summoned this part of the soul back.

The soul entered the body, Tao Yuanming was completely relieved, and his eyes were not good at looking at Zhong Shenxiu.

Zhong Shenxiu withdrew the six-star peachwood sword, smiled at Tao Yuanming, and then waved his hand and said, "Old Tao, goodbye to you." ”

The next moment, Zhong Shenxiu turned into a white light and disappeared in front of Tao Yuanming's eyes, leaving Tao Yuanming stunned in the ancient tomb!
