In the mountain behind the Dao Palace, a cave was opened from the inside, and an old man with a withered description staggered out, and said in a dry and low voice: "Who are you waiting for?

Shouzheng stepped forward and saluted: "The current palace master of the Dao Palace is upright, and he has seen Elder Tianming. ”

Tianming's cloudy eyes looked back and forth at Shouzheng, and said slowly: "It turned out that the palace master was in front of him, but the old man was rude, I don't know what the palace master woke up the old man from the death pass, for what?"

Shouzheng sighed and said: "The younger disciples are not filial, there are Tongde disciples of the Tongzi generation, who were originally elders and were responsible for maintaining the formation path, but they were incompetent at first, so that most of the formations were corrupted, and they almost destroyed the foundation of the Dao Palace for ten thousand years. ”

Later, he was deposed as an elder by this seat in accordance with the rules of the Dao Palace, but he had a dispute with the disciples of the Dao Palace, killed two disciples out of personal anger, and broke a palace protection formation from the inside, and rebelled from the Dao Palace. ”

"The palace protection formation is a very important matter, so I implore Elder Tianming to go out of the customs and repair the broken formation according to the formation map, so as to protect the safety of the Dao Palace and disturb the elders, and please forgive Elder Tianming. ”

When Tianming heard this, he couldn't see the expression on his dry cheeks, and said in a deep voice: "I didn't expect that there would be a traitor in my Dao Palace, just to repair the formation, the old man is already powerless, why don't the old man hand over the palace protection formation to the palace master, and the palace master chooses another virtuous man to repair it?"

Shouzheng nodded when he heard this: "But, then bother Elder Tianming to hand over the formation map, and this seat will find another way." ”

Tianming turned around and returned to the cave like a machine, then brought out a box more than three feet high, and handed it to Shouzheng with both hands.

After Shouzheng took it, Tianming's voice was still hoarse: "If there is nothing else, the old man will continue to retreat." ”

Hearing this, a trace of unbearability flashed on Shouzheng's face and said, "If the Great Dao is unpredictable, why don't the elders stop being nostalgic for the prosperity of the world?"

Tianming shook his head and said: "Seeking the Tao is the most gorgeous prosperity in my life, the palace master doesn't need to persuade more, if the old man doesn't get out of the customs after twenty years, the palace master can find someone to break the cave and collect the body for the old man." ”

When Shouzheng and several Dao Palace elders behind him heard this, their faces were full of desolation, and then they watched Tianming enter the cave, and the stone gate slowly fell.

......

In the morning, Shouzheng personally led people to bring the palace protection array to Lin Ze's courtyard, and saluted Lin Ze with a fist, and said with a smile: "Poor Dao is here to trouble the sages again, and please don't be strange to the sages." ”

Lin Ze...... I'm really afraid of seeing it, so don't come.

But the sharp-eyed Lin Ze had already seen the box, guessed something a little, and said with a smile on his face: "The palace master said this too much, in the Lower Hakka Dao Palace, the palace master will take care of it, if you don't make any effort, you will be embarrassed to live." I don't know why the palace master is here today?"

Shouzheng coughed lightly and said: "The day before yesterday, the sages reminded the poor Dao, but there are other formations to be repaired, the poor Dao was excited for a while, but he forgot that the Dao Palace and the Great Array of the Palace Protector had not been overhauled, and he only remembered this matter after going back, so today the Poor Dao came and specially asked the sages to help inspect and repair the Great Array of the Palace Protector. ”

Lin Ze's eyes were bright, and his heart was excited, but he kept an indifferent smile on his face and said: "Since I have promised to repair the formation for the Dao Palace, and I have repaired so many, one more, it is nothing, the palace master will send the formation map, and after the next study, I will go to check and repair it." ”

Shouzheng smiled brightly, and instructed the disciples behind him, "Carry the formation diagram to the sage's room." ”

Then he bowed deeply to Lin Ze and said: "Poor Dao has thanked the sages here, and Poor Dao has promised the sages to go to the treasure house of the Dao Palace and choose any three treasures.

Lin Ze couldn't help but say with joy on his face: "It's easy to say, it's not too late to repair this last formation in the next place, if the palace master has nothing else to do, he will go to study the formation map first." ”

Shouzheng hurriedly said: "The sages are at their own convenience, and the poor road will retire first." ”

Lin Ze closed the door tightly, walked quickly to the box containing the palace protection array diagram, and communicated with Xiao Jin: "Quickly scan this array diagram." ”

After Xiao Jin heard the prompt sound of successful scanning, Lin Ze breathed a long sigh of relief, and finally got things done, otherwise he could only choose to spend the rest of his life in the Dao Palace.

Unless Emperor Qin returns to heaven, Lin Ze doesn't have the slightest confidence to withstand Emperor Qin's anger, please, even Lu Chunqiu, Wei Ying, and Gongsun Qi have all fallen into the sand, just [31 31xs.] His little arms and legs, he doesn't need Emperor Qin's move, and he can easily kill himself by sending a strong six-rank martial artist.

And in that case, Lin Ze would have to take a great risk and ask Xuan Ming to take out Shao Si Ming, otherwise he would not be able to "survive" in the Dao Palace safely.

Thinking of this, Lin Ze had to thank Tongde, if it weren't for him, he probably wouldn't have been able to get the palace protection array so smoothly.

It's just that do you want to go back to Chang'an?

Theoretically, he got the formation map and completed Emperor Qin's task on schedule, and after returning to Chang'an, Emperor Qin would most likely keep his promise and forgive himself for the sins implicated by Xu Fu.

But Emperor Qin was purging a large number of grandmasters for some reason, and it was a question of whether he would be affected after he went back.

Taking a step back, he has solved many problems for the Dao Palace, and the elders of the Dao Palace have the grace of guidance, if he wants to stay in the Dao Palace, the Dao Palace will definitely welcome it to the extreme, and even if he can get the best preferential treatment, it is not impossible to directly obtain the position of elder.

It's just that in this way, the situation of his own business in Daqin is really wasted.

Lin Ze pondered for a long time, patted his head and said, "Didn't I learn Han Fei's knowledge of the Destiny of Heaven? Why don't you calculate a hexagram for yourself and see if it's better to go back to Chang'an or stay in the Dao Palace?"

Just do what he said, Lin Ze sat cross-legged, gathered his mind, and slowly entered the state of knowing the destiny of heaven.

Ten breaths later, Lin Ze was the first to see the picture of the Dao Palace in his mind, only to see the same self meditating and cultivating, and suddenly a loud shout sounded, "Shaft, dare to harm me", and after speaking, a big hand slapped himself who was meditating and cultivating into a pulp.

Lin Ze couldn't help but be frightened, that shout was Jiang Chengzi's voice, if he stayed in the Dao Palace, would he die at the hands of Jiang Chengzi?

Then the picture changed, and then changed to the picture of Chang'an City, riding a horse by himself, following Hu Hai, and heading southwest.

This picture lasted for a long time, until Lin Ze couldn't bear to retreat from the state of knowing the destiny of heaven, and he still saw this picture.

As soon as he withdrew from the state of knowing the destiny of heaven, Lin Ze suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood, only to see that he wiped the corners of his mouth without caring at all, it was just a little price to pay for peeping at the mandate of heaven, compared to the benefits brought by peeping at the mandate of heaven, it was really nothing.

The result of the fortune calculation can be said to be clear at a glance, if you stay in the Dao Palace, you will die, and if you return to Chang'an, you will survive, and it is self-evident how Lin Ze will choose.

However, before leaving, how to better squeeze some resources from the Dao Palace was the only thing Lin Ze had to think about.

After all, in the past eight months, the more than three hundred earth treasures that Lin Ze had obtained from the Dao Palace had already been consumed by him, and after that, the resources needed for martial arts cultivation would only be more, and Lin Ze had to reserve more.

However, in the past eight months, Lin Ze's martial arts progress has also been very rapid, and he has condensed the six main veins, and his combat power has increased greatly.
