When the yellow-robed Taoist heard this, he was silent for a moment, and then asked softly, "Could it be ...... You don't know why the Lord chose you?"

Lin Qi didn't hide much, and said, "I have a vague guess, but I really don't know." ”

The yellow-robed Taoist showed a hint of abruptness, then shook his head and sighed, and when he was about to speak, he glanced at King Ning and the county lord of Pingle next to him, muttered a little, and said to Lin Qi: "This matter is quite related, maybe it shouldn't be known to the prince and the county lord, I don't know if you are willing to move outside the palace to talk about it?" If you think it's okay, you can confess to the prince and the county lord later." ”

Lin Qi glanced at King Ning and Lord Pingle, and then nodded, "Okay." ”

"Little brother, wait a minute. ”

The county lord of Pingle greeted, and saw a maidservant girl walking over with a lantern for night patrol and handing the lantern to Lin Qi.

Lin Qi smiled at the county lord of Pingle and signaled her to rest assured, so he walked out of the Mingxin Hall with the yellow-robed Taoist in his hand and came to the courtyard where magnolia flowers were in full bloom.

Now it is the beginning of spring, even if there are no bees and butterflies, and there are no green leaves, the pure and elegant magnolia flowers have bloomed in the cold wind of early spring, so that the quiet fragrance quietly fills the court.

Lin Qi took the yellow-robed Taoist and walked along the winding path of the courtyard to a white magnolia tree, inserted the night patrol lamp in his hand between the trunks, and then turned around and said, "Daoist, please speak." ”

The yellow-robed Taoist pondered for a while, and said: "Xiaodao before you show the token of the Lord, I didn't know that you were the person chosen by the Lord, and it was a pity that I said before that, it was a pity that you had such an excellent qualification that could not be found, with your qualifications, if you can enter the Immortal Dao, within a hundred years, it will become a climate, if the opportunity and merit arrive, the immortal path will be unlimited, but it is a pity ......"

Lin Qi didn't answer, just looked at him.

The yellow-robed Taoist sighed, and then shook his head and said: "It's a pity that the world today is no longer the world of the past, and the immortal path at this time is not the immortal path at that time. ”

"Why?" Lin Qi wondered.

"Have you ever heard of the end of the law?"

The yellow-robed Daoist didn't wait for Lin Qi to answer, so he sighed and said: "Heaven and earth are ignorant, all veins are exhausted, the spiritual energy is gradually empty, and the immortal Dao will die......"

When Lin Qi heard this, he suddenly realized.

"Since fifteen years ago, many spiritual veins in this world have begun to weaken, and the essence spiritual energy attracted by the five elements of the sun and the moon and the heavens and stars has become thinner and thinner. ”

There was a trace of deep helplessness and despair in the eyes of the yellow-robed Daoist, and he sighed: "Until now, in addition to those jade treasures hidden in the spiritual rhyme, I am afraid that only a few immortal veins in the blessed land of the immortal family can absorb the essence of spiritual energy." ”

Speaking of this, he showed a bitter smile and said, "But if I wait for the mountains and wilderness to cultivate, how can I be qualified to enter those immortal blessed lands? Moreover, in a few years, I am afraid that even the immortal blessed lands will decay and become dull, and at that time, it will be the real era of the end of the law." ”

Lin Qi was silent for a while, and then said softly: "If you lose your aura, you and other monks, will you become mortals?"

The yellow-robed Taoist looked gloomy, and he was silent for a long time before nodding lightly and said: "Yes, the qi eater is a god and longevity, if there is no spiritual energy nourishment, we and other cultivators, Shouyuan is not much higher than mortals, once we lose our mana, it is only stronger than mortals, what is the difference between mortals and mortals?"

"In this way, the Taoist Leader specially came to the palace to ask for 'Fire Linglong' on this trip, is it because he has taken a fancy to the trace of aura hidden in the jade?" Lin Qi asked.

"That's it, please also ask the little ancestor to learn clearly. The yellow-robed Taoist sighed again.

Lin Qi can also understand his mood.

For the cultivators who eat qi, the aura of heaven and earth is like oil in an oil lamp.

The depletion of the aura, in the modern terms of the previous life, is the lack of energy.

It's just that Lin Qi has never cultivated the Tao, he doesn't understand the joy of cultivation, and his previous life was also short-lived, so he doesn't know the freedom of immortality, so naturally he can't quite understand the mood of this yellow-robed Taoist.

From a monk who lives forever to a mortal......

This mood is probably like the emperor becoming a beggar overnight.

"But I don't know. ”

Lin Qi pondered for a moment and said, "Five years ago, I asked a person surnamed Immortal Chief, and the Immortal Chief said that this fire exquisite dragon only contains a trace of fire aura, and for you and other immortal masters, it is insignificant, isn't it...... Just such a trace of aura can make up for the mana of the Dao Chief?"

Hearing this, the yellow-robed Taoist slowly shook his head and said, "Naturally, it can't, it can only refine a trace of insignificant mana." ”

Lin Qi looked at him with some surprise, and wondered, "Why is that Dao Leader like this?"

The yellow-robed Taoist was silent for a long time, smiled bitterly, and said: "It's not a secret, since Xiaodao noticed that the aura of heaven and earth has become thinner, he has traveled all over the world over the years, trying to find another place of cultivation with abundant aura, but it has been fruitless. ”

He sighed gloomily and said: "Xiao Dao originally planned to go back to the house to take out those hidden treasure pills and other things, looking for a blessed land of the immortal family, maybe he could exchange this for a little place, but he didn't expect to encounter demons and evil on the road, although Xiao Dao escaped with his life, but his mana was exhausted, and he was helpless to even ban the spells of his own cave mansion." ”

Lin Qi was stunned, he couldn't even enter his own cave mansion, which was indeed a bit sad.

The yellow-robed Taoist shook his head helplessly and said: "Xiaodao was helpless, so he had to come to the capital to try his luck, and by chance I heard that there was a strange warm jade with a lot of spiritual charm in King Ning's mansion, and Xiaodao knew that it must contain a trace of fire aura, so he came to Suoyu." ”

Lin Qi nodded lightly, it turned out that this was the truth.

"Original...... It's a pity that my qualifications are wasted, it's really not ......at the right time," Lin Qi couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

When the yellow-robed Taoist heard this, he hesitated, but said, "This ...... In the opinion of the path, the monks you have met in the past, what they say is a pity...... I'm afraid it's more than that. ”

"Oh?"

Lin Qi looked at him, and by the dim light of the lantern and candle, he could see that the expression of this yellow-robed Taoist was quite complicated.

The yellow-robed Taoist sighed softly, and then asked, "Do you know what you are to the Viewer?"

Lin Qi didn't say anything to answer, but the speculations of the past few years have surfaced in his heart one by one, and now he is getting closer and closer to the most correct answer.

"I'm sure you've heard of the vision that happened on the cold mountain fifteen years ago, with constant thunder and torrential rain, and it lasted for seven days before resting...... That is the wonder of the Lord on the cold mountain, the catastrophe caused by the tribulation, and the Lord of the Lord in the seven days of the catastrophe, the Dao body is damaged, the Dao foundation collapses, only by taking away others, can you re-ascend the immortal road, and you ...... It is the new body chosen by the Lord. ”

After the yellow-robed Taoist finished saying this sentence with a little caution, he saw that under the white magnolia flowers, the handsome and extraordinary face of the prince opposite, in the dim candlelight, his face first stiffened, and then revealed a look of forethought and understanding, and a self-deprecating chuckle appeared on his lips.

He was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart: What a heaven-given son of immortal talent, no wonder he has such a good name, and his heart is really extraordinary.

Whoever hears that he is just a spare body used by a master to take away his life may not be able to calm down, because this is no longer just as simple as 'death', but the loss of self and being replaced by others.

And the young man in front of him, who was only fifteen years old, actually calmed down so quickly?

"I see...... And so it was. ”

The corners of Lin Qi's lips curled up slightly, and he whispered as if self-deprecating: "I should have thought of it a long time ago...... He saved my life, and promised me eighteen years of earthly riches...... The same dove occupies the magpie's nest, everything has karma, and the world should be like this. ”

He took a deep breath and said, "However, it seems that all cultivators in the world know about the things that the Lord wants to give up?"

The yellow-robed Taoist said: "When the Lord went through the Heavenly Tribulation, many monks went to observe the ceremony, and after the Tribulation, the Lord of the Buddha has informed the monks of the world that he is ready to go down the mountain to choose a suitable object for the seizure, and the person who holds his token is the person he chooses. ”

"Why wait, and tell the world?" Lin Qi looked puzzled.

"This ...... I don't know the trail. The yellow-robed Taoist shook his head and said.

Lin Qi suddenly remembered that on that snowy night fifteen years ago, the Guan Master had said that he still needed eighteen years to prepare, could it be ...... Is it just to prepare for the seizure?

Tell the world, why?

Lin Qi shook his head slightly, didn't think much about it, just said: "Thank you Dao Elder for solving my doubts, I will hand over Huo Linglong to you." ”

After speaking, he suddenly turned his head to look at the dim place not far away that was hidden by the shadow of the magnolia tree, and said, "Sister Pingle, have you heard enough? ”

As soon as his words fell, he saw that under the shadow of the magnolia tree, a tall and heroic beautiful woman slowly walked out, who was the lord of Pingle.

At this time, she lowered her head, clenched her fists, her knuckles were pinched white, she bit her lip desperately, and her shoulders trembled slightly.

Seeing this, the yellow-robed Taoist couldn't help but be slightly stunned, then shook his head and smiled bitterly, now that he has lost his mana, he can't even notice that he is being overheard by mortals in secret.

I saw the county lord of Pingle biting his lower lip, walking in front of Lin Qi step by step, slowly raising his pretty face without half a point of blood, stretching out his cold and somewhat rough calloused palm, clenching Lin Qi's hand, looking at Lin Qi with already reddened eyes, and said softly: "Little brother, don't worry, even if the gods want your life, my sister will definitely try her best to save you." ”
