Chapter 95: The Price of Pride

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 "Your Excellency came to visit late at night, are you here to joke with Shi?" Shi Long's face became more and more impatient. He is also a famous figure after all, the number one master in Yangzhou, so he has no face.

"Tell me, why are you here?"

"Haha! It seems that Taoist Master Shilong really doesn't know anything." Su Fan was not angry when he heard this, but said with a smile: "But Taoist Master Shilong is very interested in these ancient characters."

Su Fan suddenly pointed at the lone copy on Shi Long's table and the pair of silk books not far away, which immediately made Shi Long's expression change.

"Have you been discovered, haven't you?" Shi Long quickly calmed down and pretended not to understand.

"It's just arty. If you have nothing to do, please be kind. Shi needs to rest."

Shi Long disliked Su Fan, this mysterious visitor, even more.

"Taoist Master Shilong doesn't need to put it away, nor does he need to hide the secret of longevity"

"What?"

When Su Fan mentioned the Secret of Immortality, Shi Long was like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and his fur suddenly became furious.

The look in Su Fan's eyes was also full of sternness.

"What? Is Taoist Master Shilong planning to kill people and silence them?"

Su Fan's joking tone irritated Shi Long and made his eyes look fierce.

"Haha! It seems that I am right, but Taoist Master Shilong, I advise you to be cautious, and even if you want to kill me, it will be useless, because the news that the secret of longevity is with you is no longer a secret?"

Su Fan's words made Shi Long's face change wildly.

"Impossible!" Panting heavily, Shi Long stared at Su Fan fiercely.

"If it was really leaked, why hasn't anyone come here yet?"

Ten years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, a list of the wonders of heaven and earth was published in the world, and the Secret of Immortality ranked second. During that time, Shi Long was still very anxious, worried that others would know that he had the Secret of Immortality.

He knew very well that once his secret was revealed, even if he handed over the Secret of Immortality, he might not be able to save his life.

Although he did not go there personally, he understood the battle in Luoyang, a grand master-level battle. Moreover, in the past two years, the world was in turmoil. Many sects, whether in the north or the south, fought for a secret book.

Many of the masters died.

During that time, he really couldn't even sleep well.

It turned out to be uneventful and a false alarm.

"Haha! Naive, I didn't come to you because it's not worth it, or I don't care at all."

"Taoist Master Shilong, although you are from the Taoist sect, you are not a direct descendant of the Taoist sect. Otherwise, you wouldn't understand."

Su Fan laughed narrowly.

"understand what?"

"Haha! Regarding the secret of the Secret of Immortality, you have been in possession of it for more than ten years, but you have not been able to understand even a single bit. You have wasted more than ten years in vain. Have you not woken up yet?"

To be honest, Shi Long's talent was definitely below the first-class level, but he had already surpassed the first-class level in his early years.

But it is a pity that it has been wasted for decades.

"The secret of the Secret of Immortality, what secret?" Shi Long heard this, with a look of longing on his face.

In the past ten years, the secret of longevity has even become his obsession, and he has become obsessed with it.

"Haha! Taoist Master Shilong, you are still obsessed with it." Su Fan suddenly shouted, his voice roaring like thunder, which shocked Shilong.

The drums in the evening and the bells in the morning suddenly woke up Shilong.

"You have been studying this longevity secret for more than ten years. Not only have you not made any breakthroughs, but you have wasted more than ten years. You even almost went crazy just now and you still don't understand."

"No one has mastered this martial art since Guang Chengzi. No matter it is the sage of the Taoist sect or the Holy Emperor of the Demonic Sect, there is no exception. Those who practice it forcibly go crazy and die. You have also tried to practice it these years.

, as a result, I am now covered in injuries.”

Su Fan saw at a glance that Shi Long had internal injuries, which were caused by obsession and must have been forced to practice.

In the original work, he was easily beaten to death by Yu Wenhuaji.

Although Yu Wenhua's strength is good, he can barely reach the super first-class level at most. Shilong is also an innate first-class master who has been famous for a long time. Even if he loses to the super first class, he will not be beaten by Yu Wenhuaji.

Obviously he himself was injured.

"This Immortality Technique is a trap. Everyone in the big forces knows it, but they all ignore it because they know that this technique cannot be practiced at all. Forcibly practicing it will only make them go crazy."

"People from the Taoist sect must know, but they didn't tell you. It seems that you are really not their direct disciple."

"Obviously they gave up on you, and you haven't been able to get over it for so many years. Why is it strange that they don't give up?"

"But the Taoist sect is really aloof. If I had warned you earlier and asked you to come out earlier, you might have given up on practicing and you would not have the strength you have now."

"It's no wonder that their strength has declined so quickly in recent years. It's just that their standards are too high. Otherwise, how could Ning Daoqi be attracted by Buddhism?"

Su Fan couldn't help but sneered.

Whether the Taoist sect has strength or not, of course it does, but for thousands of years, the top brass of the Taoist sect have been too arrogant.

From the pre-Qin Dynasty to the present, Taoism has always been considered one of the prominent schools. Even if Dong Zhongshu deposed all schools of thought and only respected Confucianism, Taoism still has great influence.

So they are used to being aloof.

Ning Daoqi's background must be bad, otherwise, how could he have borrowed Cihang Jingzhai's Cihang Sword Code at the end.

The heritage of the Taoist sect is so rich. Over the past thousands of years, it has possessed countless profound inheritances. If Ning Daoqi was a direct descendant of the Taoist sect, he would definitely not be in the Cihang Sword Code.

In fact, according to Su Fan's guess, Ning Daoqi should also have complaints against the Taoist sect. After all, he himself is indeed a Taoist sect.

But maybe because he is not a direct descendant or true successor of the Taoist sect, he has been excluded, so he is currently in a state of separation from the Taoist sect.

This contains his own thoughts and Taoist arrogance.

If Daomen can put down his body, it is absolutely possible that Ning Daoqi will hug Daomen immediately.

After all, no one wants to be laughed at as a "two-and-a-half-year-old boy" all day long, right?

In Su Fan's last life, the Huashan Sect was considered to be a Taoist sect, or rather a peripheral part of the Taoist sect. However, in fact, he knew very well that the Huashan Sect was nothing at all in the eyes of many high-level Taoist sects.

Even the Wudang Sect has a hard time getting into the eyes of those high-level Taoists.

Therefore, although Su Fan didn't want to hate Taoism as much as Buddhism, it was absolutely impossible to say how happy he was.

Of course, this is also true. In his last life, he had wanted to seek Taoist scriptures but could not find anything to do with it.

In the last life, he was at the peak of the day after tomorrow and could not break through, so he thought about looking for the Taoist scriptures to learn from them, but he couldn't even meet several Taoist sects.

Let him return disappointed.

This is also the reason why he ridiculed Taoism for being arrogant.
