The old Taoist priest was dressed very down-to-earth, dressed in gray, occasionally saw one or two square patches, holding a broom in his hand, and was humming a little song to clean up the antique portrait.

The portrait is also of an old man, riding a bull out of the customs.

Zuo Qianfeng looked at the portrait for a long time, and waited for a long time.

The old Taoist priest has always ignored and concentrated on cleaning the candlestick.

In the end, I knew that I couldn't help it, and reminded me: "Master, Senior Brother Zuo has already brought it, you always squeak." ”

The old Taoist priest finally turned around.

He looked at himself, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he shook his head and said: "What kind of body have you cultivated and what kind of sex have you cultivated over the years? You have been eaten by dogs! Look at your senior brother Zuo, his face is not red and his heart is not beating and he sleeps with his eyes closed! If you can have half of him, I will be content." ”

As he spoke, he raised the broom in his hand and knocked on the left leaning peak.

Zuo Tianfeng opened his eyes and looked at the old Taoist priest with a little puzzlement.

"Broken through?" the old Taoist priest asked, walking outside.

The two hurried to follow.

"Yesterday's broken realm. The boy replied.

The old Taoist priest didn't pay attention to the latter, and just walked forward on his own.

As time passed, the scenery began to change. The gray square slabs on the ground were gone, replaced by a winding path.

The weeds on both sides are overgrown, the trees are green, and the temperature is also high and cold, and it seems that it has gone from cold to midsummer in an instant.

The old Taoist priest finally spoke, he said with a smile: "This is the old site of Baiyun Temple, when Baiyun Temple was like spring all year round, not restricted by the rules of heaven and earth, famous all over the world, although it is dilapidated, but in the end there is still some foundation, you see, that wide avenue with 3,600 steps?"

Leaning Zuo Feng and looking in the direction guided by the old Taoist priest, he really saw a wide avenue in front of him, which went straight up, forming an extremely high drop from here, as if a ladder came from the depths of the sky.

The two of them were shocked, and they complained to themselves: "Master, this place is the real Baiyun Temple, but why didn't you tell me earlier? ”

The old Taoist priest glanced at him, and his eyes widened: "Just you talk a lot of nonsense! Look at your senior brother Zuo, who looks like he is used to seeing big scenes." ”

I knew that when I looked at the young man on the side, I really found that the latter was not surprised.

Zuo Tianfeng was embarrassed, so he had to say: "The Daomen used to be the mountain gate with the prefix 'Zong', and there are still some ruins that can be called ghostly workmanship, especially the mysterious Dao Mountain, which is no worse than this, so I behave so calmly." ”

After listening to this explanation, I knew that I felt better.

He is different from Zuo Tianfeng, he was born and raised in this Taoist temple when he was a child, and now he has not been out of Luoyang City, and he knows nothing about the outside world, if he didn't take something for his master a few days ago, I'm afraid he is not even familiar with Luoyang City!

To put it bluntly, I just don't know anything.

That's why I made a little fuss.

"The sword mountain you said is indeed a thing created by heaven and earth, and it is better than the ladder in front of you, but in terms of the benefits to the cultivation of martial artists, the ladder to heaven is better. ”

The old Taoist priest took the lead in walking to the front with his hands behind his back.

Leaning to the left, self-knowledge naturally keeps up.

After a short time, we reached the bottom of the ladder.

When I raised my eyes and looked up, I suddenly found that there were white clouds floating in the distance, as if this stone step really reached the sky.

"How high are these 3,600 stone steps, and what's on them?"

Zuo Leanfeng looked at the old Taoist priest, waiting for his answer.

As if he hadn't heard, the old Taoist priest carefully touched the stone steps of the ladder to heaven, grabbed a handful of dust and put it under his nose, and sniffed it.

Then he blew on the self-knowledge on the side.

"Ahem!"

I knew that I hurriedly covered my mouth and nose, but it was too late, and the choked tears were about to flow out.

"Master, what are you doing old man?"

The old Taoist priest didn't pay attention to him, but just pinched the dust on the stone steps again and blew on the left-leaning peak.

The young man neither covered his nose nor held his breath, but calmly accepted it.

In his opinion, the old Taoist priest is not an ordinary person, since he has done different things, there must be something strange, or there is a reason for him.

The old Taoist priest looked at Zuo Leaning Peak and asked, "Why don't you hide?"

Self-knowledge also looked at the left leaning peak, his face full of doubts.

Zuo Tianfeng replied calmly: "The seniors must have your reasons for acting like this, and there is nothing bad for the juniors to suffer." ”

"Yes, the old Taoist priest looked appreciative, pointed to the young man and said: "But you think a little too much, the old Taoist is purely to look at you unpleasantly, and has no special meaning." ”

He began to ascend the steps.

Leaning left and knowing that they looked at each other, they shrugged helplessly.

Also began to climb the steps.

The steps are not high, and it is easy to step up, and it is not as difficult as expected.

"In that war of the human race and demon clan, there was a big demon who came out of here and pushed half of the world, even if the ancestor himself took action, he couldn't subdue it, or he couldn't do it, and finally had to close the Taoist temple in desperation. ”

But even so, after the Great War, the liquidation of the Baiyun Temple still did not hide, the master personally climbed it, broke the ladder to heaven, and the ancestor imprisoned himself in the Purple Sea Forest, and since then the Baiyun Temple has declined. ”

"Even now, it hasn't slowed down. ”

Zuo Tianfeng sighed, but he only sighed, in his opinion, everything rises and falls is normal, but he is very curious about the scene when the master climbed the mountain, and how did he interrupt this ladder to heaven?

The old Taoist priest continued to walk forward and muttered: "Saying that these have nothing to do with you, but in fact it is still more or less related, I know that as a disciple of Baiyunguan, I naturally want to carry the banner of revitalizing Baiyunguan, as for you, what about Zuo Leaning Peak, Lao Dao sees that he is destined for you, and wants to give you a promise of creation?"

Leaning Peak frowned.

"Are the seniors going to bet on the juniors?"

The old Taoist priest nodded.

"The first time Lao Dao met you was on the street of Luoyang City, and then in the alleys, watching you defeat Lin Xing'an, a disciple of the Sword Sect, and finally in Pingnan Wangfu, even in the face of so many strong people, you can still draw your sword without hesitation, to be honest, Lao Dao was shocked at the time, because Lao Dao saw a different life. ”

Of course, Lao Dao dares to bet on you is not only these points, the more important reason is that you have mastered several knife techniques, one is the "Two Life Knife", the other is "A Dagger Three Knives"! Among them, "A Dagger Three Knives" is known as the right of the five uniques, and all the weapons in the world are not in vain, and you can vaguely see its original style in your hands! This is the reason why Lao Dao is willing to help you. ”

I know that I am confused.

Left-leaning peaks are always frowning.

After a long time, he asked, "Let's talk about your conditions first." ”

The old Taoist priest replied very simply: "Be a self-aware protector!"

"Be his protector?" Zuo Tianfeng looked at himself, and he knew that he was confused.

"His strength is above me, I'm afraid I can't be it. On the contrary, he is not bad as my protector. ”

The young man was telling the truth, although he was very confident that he would go far on the road of martial arts, but he was also very sure that he would not go very fast, compared to knowing that he was 108,000 miles behind, okay?

The old Taoist priest laughed silently: "The protector is not a person, sometimes the heart is more important. ”

He looked at himself, with a hint of love in his old eyes: "He grew up watching Lao Dao since he was a child, and his character is very clear and a little stubborn! ”

"Because of this, he doesn't have a good relationship with a few senior brothers, and it's usually nothing, but in a few days, Lao Dao will go to Zihailin for a walk, and it is difficult to say what kind of situation he will encounter at that time, people's hearts are sinister, and Lao Dao is afraid that he will suffer!"

"As long as you promise to protect his Dao, Lao Dao will help you to combine the Buddha intent and sword intent in your body into one, regardless of each other, and the four realms can be broken at that time. ”

Zuo Leanfeng raised his eyebrows and did not say anything.

His hands clenched tightly, as the secrets he had hidden in the deepest depths had been dug up.

He never thought that Lao Dao's eyesight was so strong, and he could see the fire like a fire, but he hid it so well.

As a big murderer walking in the wasteland, when encountering this kind of scheming but powerful but unfathomable character, he will always retreat, if it is not necessary, he will not be provoked, even if it is to break the money and eliminate the disaster.

Of course, Zuo Leaning Peak had never experienced the feeling of breaking money and eliminating disasters before, because there could be no such person in the wasteland, but today he realized it.

It feels bad.

He had no doubt that the old Taoist priest who was still smiling at this moment and discussing with him would burst out and kill people the next moment, and he couldn't resist.

"It's a mutually beneficial thing, what do you think about it?"

Zuo Leanfeng wanted to say that he hadn't thought about it yet, but he actually nodded.

People have to bow their heads under the eaves.

If he sees the wrong person, he has to pay the corresponding price. Although this transaction is very fair, what if there is a next time? The next time it will not be a person like the old Taoist priest who does not want to tear his face.

Of course, it's possible that he was overthinking all this.

He looked at himself and knew that this guy was full of confusion, and he didn't seem to have turned around yet.

Having such a master is a blessing that he has cultivated for eight lifetimes, the young man thought to himself.

"Although this ladder is broken, most of the natural restoration has been improved over the years, you can climb to the top yourself, as long as you reach the top, you will break the realm. ”

After the old Taoist priest finished his instructions, he returned to the Taoist temple.

By the way, I called away the self-knowledge.

I know that I will turn back in three steps, "reluctantly", and I am afraid that something will happen to the teenager.

Zuo Leanfeng waved his hand at him, put his hands on his sleeves, and began to climb the ladder alone.

As the saying goes, one step to the sky, the boy wants to see it today.

He began to lift his feet and step on the steps, and every time he went up the steps, his expression became a little more solemn, especially after three hundred steps, his whole body began to feel uncomfortable, and he bent his waist and paced forward little by little.

Suddenly, he thought of the deal he had talked about with the old Taoist priest, and he always felt that he had suffered a big loss!

Old fox!" he scolded severely.
