He came to me and asked me with a smile: "Are you the left leader of the Shouzheng lineage?"

I gestured to him with fists and saluted him, and asked respectfully: "What do you call me senior?"

"I'm just an idle cloud and wild crane on Beim Mountain," the old man smiled kindly: "Whatever you want to call me, just call me. Haha, the Soul-Finding Talisman of the Left Master is still a bit worse than that of the former Chief Chai."

He glanced into my pocket as he spoke.

But how did he know that there was a soul sealing talisman in my pocket? I did it specifically. As long as I did not add the mind power to the talisman, the spiritual rhyme would not be emitted.

I asked him, "Do you recognize my master?"

"I recognize him, but he does not recognize me," said the Taoist. "Although I have never masked, I know more about him than he himself."

After saying that, he waved to me again: "Ying'er, you've had enough trouble, it's time to come back."

As I spoke, I heard a sound of flapping from behind me, and then a brown shadow passed over my head. When it landed on the old Taoist's shoulder, I could see clearly that it was a fist-sized eagle.

The old Taoist looked at it and said, "Go." The little eagle flapped its wings and flew towards the distance.

Then the Taoist asked me again: "You came here for a ulterior motive?"

Ghost ulterior motive refers to Luo Youfang.

I nodded and said yes.

The Taoist smiled at me: "There are so many people here, so you can follow me."

When I followed the Taoist to leave, I turned around and looked at the entrance of Cuiyun Cave. Liu Shangang, who had been standing there before, had disappeared. I think that Liu Shangang, who had just appeared in front of us, was probably transformed by the little eagle. It seemed to be a monster with a high cultivation level, but I did not feel the demonic energy from it.

I was a little confused and wanted to ask the Taoist what the eagle was, but I was not familiar with the old Taoist in front of me, and I was not sure whether I should ask.

After he took us out of Cuiyun Cave, he walked all the way into the forest. He had already left Shangqing Palace, but the surroundings were still filled with fragrance and mist. I couldn't see the road clearly. I just saw some old trees growing from time to time, and only then did I realize that we were heading towards the deep forest.

This section of the road seemed very long. It was obviously morning when we arrived at Shangqing Palace, but as we walked, the sun set. I didn’t feel tired after walking for long, but the sun had indeed set.

The night passed, the rising sun rose and set. I didn't know how many days I had walked, but I still didn't feel tired. If I hadn't seen the changes of the sun, in my perception, time had only passed for more than ten minutes.

Until the fragrance slight dissipated, a wooden house rising from the ground faintly appeared in the clouds and smoke. The old Taoist stopped and said to me: "It's here."

At this time, Li Renfeng suddenly exclaimed behind him: "Daoist Buyu!"

The old Taoist and I turned our heads to look at Li Renfeng at the same time. The Taoist and smiled and said, "You are knowledgeable."

Li Renfeng pointed at the old Taoist and said to me in a shocked look: "The Taoist doesn't speak, and if he says something, the world will be in chaos. This is written in the ancient books of our Jihun Village!"

Is there such an ancient book in Jihun Village? Why don’t I remember it?

The old Taoist sighed: "The world is in chaos? Who made this rumor? Have you never heard of it? Zi Wu said, "The strange power is in chaos? It's not that he doesn't speak, but that he is in chaos, so he can't speak."

As he said that, he turned his gaze to me again: "Does the left leader believe that mortals can live forever?"

I thought about it and said, "Can a person who can live forever be considered a mortal?"

The old Taoist looked at me with a surprised look: "You also think that such a person is not a mortal? If he is not a mortal, what would he be?"

I shook my head: "I don't know, I probably have become another creature."

He asked me, "Looking at the tone of the Left Master, have you ever seen the immortal mortals?"

I said, "I haven't seen it before, but I was cursed by the evil god for a while. In the memory of the evil god, I saw an old man. When he first appeared in the memory of the evil god, he looked like an old man in his sixties or seventies, but a few years later, he became much younger and looked like he was in his early fifties."

The old Taoist asked me: "Is the person you saw in the illusion very similar to the person who asked you to come here?"

It was my turn to be surprised. I looked at the old Taoist and nodded. He smiled, put his fingers together, and stretched out his arm towards the door: "I have the best tea, let's drink and chat."

I bowed to him and signaled him to leave first.

The old Taoist was stunned for a moment, and shook his head with a smile: "I heard that Shouzheng's lineage is a free and natural hero. Why is the left leader so rigid?"

I also smiled: "Although our lineage has few rules, it is not completely unruly. You are a senior, and I still have to do some of the rules on the surface."

He sighed helplessly and opened the door and entered the room.

I followed him into the door and saw Liu Shangang sitting on a peach wood chair and eating melon seeds.

"Why are you here?" Liu Shangang asked me as he waved to me.

I stared at him for a while and asked him, "Why did you come here?"

"This old man asked me to come and wait for you. I didn't want to follow him, but he slapped me out with a slap. When I woke up, I was here." Liu Shangang said such words, but his face looked indifferent.

He was slapped and captured by someone, how could he still have the heart to eat melon seeds here? This is not like Liu Shangang's personality, nor does it fit his usual behavioral patterns.

I couldn't help but frown. Isn't this Liu Shangang in front of me fake?

Perhaps seeing my eyes becoming confused, Liu Shangang looked at me on my face and asked me in confusion: "How do you look at me with this kind of eyes?"

I was about to speak when the old Taoist patted my shoulder and said to me: "Although seeing may not be true, the things in front of me may not be false. He is indeed your friend. I have worked so hard to invite him."

For some reason, when the old Taoist spoke, I felt that I should believe his words.

Liu Shangang shouted, "Please use this word is not appropriate, it is obviously tied up. Hey, your melon seeds taste good, is there any?"

The old Taoist took out a bamboo basket from under the table, stuffed it into Liu Shangang's arms, took out hot water and tea tray, and made tea.

I usually drink some tea at home occasionally. Every time I make tea, the hot water enters the teapot and it takes at least a few minutes to be soaked. But as soon as the old Taoist poured the hot water down, the tea dispersed. In a few seconds, it all sinks to the bottom, and the gentle tea fragrance immediately spread throughout the house.

The tea must taste very good, but I didn't have the time to drink it. When the old Taoist sat down, I immediately asked, "Have you seen Luo Youfang?"

While talking, I glanced at Li Renfeng secretly. He kept staring at the old Taoist, looking like he was wandering around, as if he didn't notice what I said.

The old Taoist picked up the teacup, took a sip, sighed "good tea", and then said to me: "Luo Youfang and I met several times. Haha, this child is kind-hearted, but he is walking on an evil road, and he is also a pitiful person."

I continued, “Where is he now?”

"The secrets of heaven cannot be revealed," said the old Taoist with a smile: "He is your fate, you have to find it yourself. Zuozhu, do you think if you live forever, will you become a god or a demon?"

I thought about it and said, "I will definitely become a demon."

The teacup that the old Taoist put down looked at me very seriously: "Why did you become a demon?"

I said, "If life is unlimited, I think I may have more desires. I always feel that I can get more, and the more I want, life is unlimited and desires are unlimited, so I will definitely become a demon."

The old Taoist pondered for a moment and asked me again: "If you only seek the Tao, will you become a demon?"

Me: "My master said that Tao is invisible and intangible, and cannot be forced. I think that if I infinitely extend my life with the purpose of seeking Tao, seeking Tao will probably become an obsession. If I have too deep obsession, I will still become a demon. Haha, in fact, at present, I don't know what the so-called "Tao" is."

"Well, Zuo Youdao," the old Taoist stroked the gray beard on his chin and said, "This is a good name. You don't need to seek Tao, because Tao is on you, but mortals are mortals after all, but Youdao doesn't know it. Haha, the Li Zi Mansion is indeed better than me."

I was confused when I heard his words. I wonder what he wanted to express. He also mentioned my first generation ancestor. Could it be that he is also a immortal person and knows the first generation ancestor?

But I have a premonition that if I ask him whether he recognizes the first generation, he will probably reply to my words: "The secret of heaven cannot be revealed."

At this time, the old Taoist said to me again: "If you say you become a god, I will definitely drive you out. Do you know Xu Fu?"

When he spoke, his mind jumped a lot. I almost didn't keep up with his ideas. After a long time, I came to my senses and asked him: "Xu Fu, is it the Xu Fu of Qin Dynasty?"

The old Taoist nodded: "It was him. When Ying Zheng asked him to seek immortals and ask for medicine, he fled to the East China Sea with three thousand boys and girls. People in the world thought that he failed to find medicine and took this opportunity to escape from the Central Plains. Haha, Xu Fu did find the secret of immortality, but he, like you, believed that mortals would definitely become demons in their immortality, so he secretly hid the prescription and stayed away from Ying Zheng."

Liu Shangang exclaimed: "Is there really an elixir of immortality?"

The old Taoist may not like to pay attention to him and continued to say to me: "Someone had obtained this prescription back then. Speaking of which, this person still has some connection with your soul-speaking village. The Tiangang sword technique of your guardian lineage was created by him."

I blurted out: "Zhou Lie? But isn't he... dead?"

"He voluntarily gave up immortality," said the old Taoist: "I can't guess what this person thinks. He is not like a mortal, and cannot be treated with the eyes of a mortal. Although Zhou Lie is the only one who takes elixirs, there is one immortal in addition to him for thousands of years."

I asked tentatively: "Luo Zhongxing?"

"Smart people," said the old Taoist with a smile, "It seems that you know more now than I expected."

Although I have thought more than once that Luo Zhongxing might be immortal, when the old Taoist said this, I was still surprised.

A thing like immortality is contrary to the ethics of nature. He said that Xu Fu found the secret of immortality. To be honest, I don’t believe it. He said that Zhou Lie can live forever, but Zhou Lie is dead and there is no evidence of death. No one can prove that the old Taoist words are true. But Luo Zhongxing is very likely to be alive now. The Burial Cult has been frequently active in recent years, and many clues related to the Burial Cult seem to prove that Luo Zhongxing is still alive.
