Chapter 55: Life or Death
Dai Daojin did not go back to Wudang Mountain first, but went home first.
When I got home, I met my parents first and chatted for a while.
Take a short rest.
Then he left the house and walked to Wudang Mountain.
Although Wudang Mountain is quite close to home, Dai Daojin has not lived at home for a long time. He is still more accustomed to living in Wudang Mountain.
Not long after I went out, I was walking on the street when an old man and a young man came face to face.
Dai Daojin took a quick look and slowly slowed down his pace.
The old man and the young man opposite were none other than Fan He who had left the palace, Mr. Fan and his young followers.
The young man was beside the old man, supporting him and muttering something.
The old man also saw Dai Daojin at this time and slowly stopped.
The young man noticed it and asked later: "Sir, why did you stop? The inn we are staying in is still in front?"
The old man said softly: "You go back first, I have something to do."
The young man followed the old man's gaze and looked forward, only to see a young man wearing a blue robe standing there, also looking towards him.
The young man seemed to understand and nodded, "Sir, the young one will go back to the inn first. Please be careful."
The old man said nothing and nodded lightly.
The young man then walked forward. After passing by the young man, he looked back curiously and went straight to the inn.
Dai Daojin took two steps forward, saluted, and said with a smile: "Senior, why don't you find a place to sit down and have a chat?"
The old man also smiled and said, "Okay."
Afterwards, the two of them found a teahouse and asked for a private room.
Both parties took their seats.
The old man said with emotion: "I have heard for a long time that Master Chongxu of Wudang is a great figure in the world. When I saw him today, it turned out to be true."
Dai Daojin shook his head and said with a smile: "Senior, that's a ridiculous compliment."
"No, I think that after living so long, I have seen all kinds of people with outstanding talents, but Master Chongxu is the only one who can achieve innate talent at the age of thirty." The old man shook his head.
Dai Daojin didn't know what this old guy who suddenly appeared was an innate master, and he didn't know what he was looking for. He didn't say much, so he agreed a few times.
Have a brief conversation.
Dai Daojin asked: "Senior, I don't know who your surname is and what your sect is?"
"Our family, Fan He, comes from the imperial palace. I was informed by Commander Zhou that my little friend has entered the innate world, so I came here to meet you." The old man said casually.
After hearing this, Dai Daojin secretly thought that this was the case and he was not alarmed. It was normal for an innate master to come out of the palace.
He cupped his hands and said, "It turns out it's a senior from the palace. I'm disrespectful. When a senior comes here, he should be given a grand reception by Wudang Mountain. How about asking the senior to move up the mountain with the junior?"
The old man smiled, shook his head and said, "We are here just for you. We have seen you today, so why bother with those troubles."
"My little friend is young and has to enter the innate world. I am afraid that my future achievements will be limitless. I am afraid that Wudang will produce another figure like Zhang Xianren."
"Seniors are joking, juniors are so virtuous and capable that they dare to compare with Patriarch Sanfeng." Dai Daojin was modest.
"Senior, what's the matter with junior?"
The old man looked at Dai Daojin intently and said, "We are here just to see you and have a discussion."
Dai Daojin thought with his eyes, but he understood that the theory of Taoism was false. He was afraid that he was trying to see if he was a destabilizing factor for the Ming court. If so, he was afraid that he would be killed.
"The younger generation has just entered Xiantian. It is a great blessing to be able to discuss the truth with the elders."
The two looked at each other, but both smiled. They were both smart people.
Then the two began to communicate, from various moves to martial arts experience. As the communication deepened, Dai Daojin slowly realized that something was wrong. During the communication process, he was still hiding some things, but what was in front of him
This old guy even casually talked about the royal palace's unique secret skills and his own martial arts, with a look of ease on his face.
Finally, Dai Daojin also let go of his thoughts and recounted all his thoughts and achievements in martial arts. He had just entered Xiantian for the first time. He had been groping forward. No one could give him a reference. This time he was about to enter Xiantian Hou.
Many questions were asked one by one.
During the exchange, the old man answered Dai Daojin's questions one by one, which benefited Dai Daojin a lot, and Dai Daojin's occasional opinions also made the old man's eyes shine.
Before I knew it, it was daytime and night.
"Oh oh oh"
Hearing the crow of roosters, the two stopped talking and looked out the window.
Dai Daojin stood up and bowed deeply to the old man, "Thank you, ancestors, for your advice."
This thank you is sincere, and the receipt of the goods in one night is the result of several years of hard work by Dao Jin.
The old man smiled and accepted the gift calmly.
Dai Daojin straightened up, hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "Senior, I don't know..."
The old man waved his hand, "We know what you want to ask. We do this because of one person."
Dai Daojin was curious, "I wonder who he is?"
A trace of reminiscence flashed in the old man's eyes, "It's been a long time ago. When our family was still young, we were seriously injured and dying while working for the late emperor in the northwest. I was rescued by Zhang Xianren and gave me a few words of advice, so I am lucky to be alive today."
"
Dai Daojin was stunned when he heard this, and quickly waved his hand, "Zhang Xianren? Patriarch Zhang Sanfeng?"
The old man naturally understood why he was so surprised and nodded with a smile.
Dai Daojin said hurriedly: "I wonder how old senior is?"
The old man said: "If you are in your early 100s, you will only have a few years to live."
After hearing this, Dai Daojin thought to himself, it has been almost two hundred years since Zhu Chongba established the Ming Dynasty. Even if this old man was in his twenties when he was young, when he met Zhang Sanfeng, Zhang Sanfeng would have been over two hundred years old at that time.
He smacked his lips, a little shocked.
Dai Daojin said doubtfully: "Although this junior has just entered the innate world, he also knows that he can only live one year longer than ordinary people at most. This is still a condition of good health. If you often fight with others, your life will be shorter. Could it be that Patriarch Sanfeng has become an immortal?
Ancestor?" After saying that, he shook his head.
The old man shook his head, "We don't know what level Zhang Xianren is, but I'm afraid he is above the innate level."
After hearing this, Dai Daojin was silent and recalled secretly that he had read information in his previous life and said that during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, many emperors were looking for Zhang Sanfeng. Is it possible that Zhang Sloppy survived into the Qing Dynasty? Incredible.
Dai Daojin asked: "Senior, is Patriarch Sanfeng still alive?" After saying that, he realized that he had asked nonsense.
Sure enough, the old man shook his head and said, "We don't know either. We also looked for Zhang Xianren later, but we didn't find him."
"Xianren Zhang is kind to our family. This time he came out and landed on you, which can be regarded as a worry. Before coming, our family also used the power of the court to investigate you. Fortunately, little friend, although you are not loyal or righteous,
He is a reasonable person, otherwise our family would have to clean up the family for Zhang Xianren."
Dai Daojin listened, without comment, and said secretly: Although the old guy has been in the innate world for a long time, it is hard to say who will die in the fight between life and death. Your energy and blood are weak, and your body's potential has been exhausted.
On the surface, he said with an upright tone: "Juniors have always put loyalty first. They travel around the world and act chivalrously. It is also our responsibility to hoe the strong and help the weak."
After hearing this, the old man ignored him, stood up and said, "Okay, the matter is over, we will go back to the palace."
Dai Daojin persuaded him to stay, "Senior, if you don't go to Wudang Mountain, let your juniors fulfill their duties as landlords?"
The old man waved his hand and left.
