Backyard, tea table, several people.

The fragrance of tea lingers, and a breeze blows, carrying a few apricot petals into the small courtyard, falling on the tea table, falling into the teacup, and causing a circle of ripples.

On the other side of the kitchen, a small head stretched out, stared at the big eyes and asked, "Master, there are guests again?"

The old Taoist priest did not speak.

The little girl immediately jumped out, wiped her little hands on her body, and said with a smile, "I'll go pick him up." ”

However, before she could take a few steps, the little girl fainted and fell to the ground.

Ning Baifeng stood up, walked to the little girl, picked her up, and put her on the bed in the house.

When he came out, Gao Muhan's visit sounded outside the Taoist temple, saying that there was something to discuss.

The old Taoist priest was still silent, like a dead man.

Yuan Tai chuckled softly, stood up, and prepared to walk out.

Ning Baifeng stretched out his hand to stop him, "What do you want to do?!"

Yuan Tai smiled and said, "Didn't that kid surnamed Gao come to visit? I'll open the door for the master's house and greet him." ”

Ning Baifeng frowned, shook his head and said: "The old-timers will be stunned, they just don't want to let things show flaws, as soon as you go out, this is not to tell the other party that the old-timers are in poor health." ”

Just now, the little girl suddenly fainted and fell to the ground, and Ning Baifeng clearly felt a wave of fluctuations coming out of the old Taoist.

At that moment, he understood that it was a villain, and it was a very dangerous kind.

When he picked up the little girl and walked into the house, he thought of the words he had just talked about, the current situation of the old Taoist priest was the hand of Zhan Yi, the ancestor of the Dongwei Sect, and now that the people of the Dongwei Sect came to visit, there would definitely be no good thing.

It is very likely that the Dongwei Sect sent people to investigate the truth and truth.

Therefore, at this time, no one can come forward in place of the old Taoist, and the old Taoist can only solve it himself.

However, at this moment, the silence of the old Taoist priest is another wonderful response.

Yuantai is not a fool, Ning Baifeng mentioned it slightly, then thought about the joints, turned around and sat down, picked up the teacup, and exclaimed: "High!

After speaking, drinking tea is like drinking, and swallowing it together with the apricot petals in the cup.

Ning Baifeng also sat down, picked up the teacup and was about to drink tea, but stopped in mid-air, and suddenly asked, "Did the seniors count us to come today?"

Yuan Tai was stunned, his eyes narrowed slightly.

The old Taoist's voice came from his abdomen again, "How can you see it?"

When Ning Baifeng heard this, he smiled knowingly, and said slowly after drinking tea: "Just now, when I was helping the cicada make tea, I asked her how long you have been in this situation, and she told me that it has been almost a year, and she also said that today is the first time she has gone out to the lake to fetch water. ”

Speaking of this, he looked at the old Taoist priest and said with a smile: "The first time I went out to fetch water, I met us who crossed from the mirage, which is a coincidence, right?"

The old Taoist priest said calmly: "Heaven's will is determined, and there are countless coincidences in the world. ”

Ning Baifeng nodded, "That's right, but it's not suitable for seniors." Just because you are a Taoist, and the Taoist Qi practitioner, one of the best is to shake the divination, look at the palm and look at the appearance, the Taoist himself is called Tiansuan. What's more, your old man just mentioned that this Taoist temple has been inherited for thousands of years, and if you say that the predecessors don't know how to calculate the means for a few days, I don't believe it. ”

The old Taoist priest was silent.

Outside the Taoist temple, the voice of the request to visit sounded again, as if a very familiar old friend came to visit, I don't know if there is anyone in the house, so I have to shout earnestly.

In the courtyard, the old Taoist priest was silent for a long time, and sighed softly: "It is really thoughtful. ”

Ning Baifeng shook his head, "It's just that I'm thinking too much." ”

The old Taoist priest snorted lightly, "If you think more, you can live long and live well." If you are a simple-minded person, I will not let you enter the Taoist temple. ”

When Yuan Tai heard this, he suddenly asked, "Li Lao Niubi, what do you want to do?"

The old Taoist priest did not answer, but said to himself: "Although it is said that it is not considered oneself, but the poor Taoist life is not long, so it is natural to be responsible for the afterlife." And the only one who cares about it is the apprentice who is shocked, as a master, he can't raise him to ascend to the sky and ask, he can only find someone who can put his mind at ease to protect him, so I didn't hesitate to spend a lot of hard work to peek into the heavens, in exchange for today's meeting. ”

The shouting outside the audience was still the same, but at this time, several people in the courtyard did not pay attention, whether it was intentional or unintentional.

Just because of what the old Taoist priest said, the weight is really not light.

Previously, Ning Baifeng and Yuan Tai said that they could raise the cicada as an adult, although it also meant acceptance, but just like Ning Baifeng's practice, they could send the cicada to someone who could be entrusted and take care of it.

However, the old Taoist priest is looking for a protector for the cicada, which is different from taking care of it.

The old Taoist priest is the master of the cicada, and he is naturally the preacher, and even before the cicada's cultivation is successful, he is still its protector.

It can be seen that the weight of the apotheus is no less than that of the preacher.

Ning Baifeng was silent for a long time, and said softly: "Have you ever thought about it, the seniors think about it, most of the people who think a lot have bad thoughts, you and I meet for the first time, and I don't know what my character is, so I put on this important task, so I don't worry about the non-people I trust?"

There was another silence, and the old Taoist priest laughed.

"You think more, but I see more!"

The thin old Taoist priest's face did not move, but there was laughter, and this scene looked really weird.

Suddenly, a thunderclap sounded outside the Taoist temple.

......

......

Outside the Taoist temple.

Gao Muhan looked at this small Taoist temple, his face was gloomy and about to drip water.

He came here on the order of his ancestor, and his purpose was to see how the old Taoist priest Li Fangsheng was doing.

According to Shizu, the old Taoist priest has been injured for nearly a few years, and there are only two results, either the injury is healed or terminally ill, but no matter what the result, it must be confirmed.

But coming here to confirm this matter is a fatal task.

Dong Weizong has formed a mortal enmity with Qingxingguan, and at this time, there are two results, either safe and sound, or dead on the spot.

The brothers in the sect had discussed this matter before, and they had always believed that the chance of dying in Qingxingguan was as high as ninety percent.

So when he was assigned this errand, he almost couldn't help but turn around and run, even if he left the sect. But in the end, he still held back, just because the current ancestor started killing people if he didn't like it at all.

Rather than flee and not be killed, it is better to try your luck here.

But standing outside the watch and shouting for so long, there was no movement, which made Gao Muhan a little unsure of how to respond.

A few feet ahead

The gate of the Taoist temple is opened, and there is a stone incense burner that has long been devoid of incense on the stone slab in front of the door.

Gao Muhan's eyes flickered, and his face was hesitant.

The wind blows from the Dongyang Lake in the distance, stroking the falling apricot petals, forming a petal wind passing in front of the Taoist temple, leaving a fragrant fragrance all over the ground.

In the end, Gao Muhan still chose to find out.

After all, if you go back like this, you won't be able to make a difference at all.

He thought about it, took out a palm-sized bronze mirror from his arms, and with a shock of vitality in his hand, a layer of hazy golden light lit up on the bronze mirror, and then levitated, rotating around him.

When he took a few steps and was about to step on the stone slab on the ground, his footsteps suddenly stopped, and then he gritted his teeth and took out three obviously unusual rune papers from his arms, and stimulated them with a painful look on his face.

Of the three rune papers, one burned to form a small amount of green smoke, enveloping the body. A piece was as large as a cover, and it dissolved when it was wet, and the dark robe on his body instantly turned earthy yellow, resembling a talisman robe. The last one was the most bizarre, it turned into a streamer and revolved around him, and then gathered next to him, and another Gao Muhan appeared, but his facial features were extremely blurred.

After doing this, Gao Muhan slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Since he knew that it was dangerous to come here, he was naturally fully prepared. For this reason, he exchanged his small savings for these three talismans, just to save his life.

Glancing towards the door, he stepped on his right foot and stepped on the stone slab.

Wait and count, nothing out of the ordinary.

Gao Muhan breathed a sigh of relief again and stood on the stone slab with his feet.

After confirming that everything was fine, he did not rush inside, but shouted again to visit, and confirmed that there was still no answer, so he stepped inside.

Approaching the main gate, the wind blowing from the apricot grove was a little strong, and the petals that came from it were like rain, floating in front of him, just in the blink of his eyes covered by the petals.

The Taoist temple a few zhang away disappeared, and there was only a forest of apricot blossoms.

Gao Muhan was immediately startled.

The bronze mirror suspended around the body shone brightly.

However, apart from the disappearance of the Taoist temple, there has been no change at all.

Gao Muhan looked at it vigilantly for a moment, felt that it was no problem, and was about to go inside, but at the moment of stepping, the whole person was uncontrollable and unable to move at all.

At this moment, another gust of lake wind blew, and countless petals came with the wind and floated through the apricot forest.

However, Gao Muhan looked at the petals that were about to float, and his eyes were full of horror.

Flower petals flutter like rain.

The puff of green smoke attached to his body was shrouded in these countless petals, and it suddenly seemed to have been cut by countless sharp blades, and it dissipated in an instant.

One of the three talismans simply vanished.

However, the petals did not stop, and the petal wind that chopped up the green smoke talisman made a comeback again.

Gao Muhan's eyes froze.

He made a decision immediately, pinched the trick with both hands, and the bronze mirror around him shone brightly, and then it was like an umbrella cover, shrouding the top of everyone's heads.

Then his figure flashed, and instantly appeared outside the stone slab,

It was also at this time that the overwhelming petals covered the figure inside.

In an instant, a buzzing sound exploded in the place where the petals were shrouded.

Seeing this scene, Gao Muhan's face turned blue in an instant, and he didn't look back, and went directly into the depths of the apricot blossom forest.
