After the two junior brothers said a few words, Nan Mingzi left first.
Since he is the headmaster of Taihua, he is busy with everything on weekdays and rarely has free time. Although he still wants to talk to Chen Cuo, he has many things at hand. In addition, Li Chunfeng and Li Xuan are among the group of people.
It seems that there is a reincarnated immortal hidden inside, so of course it cannot be left alone.
Of course, what he saw and heard in this Taoist temple really shocked and worried him, so before leaving, Nan Mingzi made an agreement with Chen Cuo to take time to discuss today's matters.
Ichiban.
"Senior brother's mind is tied down by mortal affairs, like a shackle." Looking at Nan Mingzi's retreating back, Chen Cuo was slightly silent, "But this matter is actually done on my behalf. After all, the sect's
Someone must take care of the matter. I still have to perfect my true form as soon as possible. By then, it can truly accommodate Dongtian Xinyue and even take the prototype of the path of derivation. Senior brother will have a new choice."
With this thought in mind, he also took his eyes away from the portrait, turned around and walked outside.
"The path to rise and fall begins with me, and is also limited by my realm. Even if I can break through the limitations of the fifth step through the bright moon in the sky, I cannot touch the boundary of a higher level after all. If the path is incomplete, it is a disability.
The choice between them is really difficult to decide..."

at the same time.
The world is outside, the sky is outside, and the moon is in the well in the mountain.
In the deep well water, the figure of a Taoist priest was reflected, dressed in purple ribbon fairy clothes, stepping on colorful auspicious clouds, and slowly appeared.
At this time, a voice came from the side——
"Fellow Taoist, you are not honest. You agreed that you would use this well to travel around the world in search of a resting place. Why did you secretly peek into the human world? If the World Honored One knew about it, he would definitely be punished.
."
Hearing this, the Taoist raised his head and scolded: "You old man, don't say anything. The poor Taoist who was deceived by you and the two of you said those words, and he almost said it into a constitution.
The inheritance has really declined, and now that I have a look at it, I can rest assured."
The voice chuckled and said: "Are you just going to see the successor to reassure yourself? I'm afraid you didn't deliberately send a message to the world, but you want to leave a few words before the thousand-year deadline, so as to anchor the long river and protect the sect's inheritance?"
"The inheritance of my lineage is fine, why do I need to worry about it?" The Taoist smiled while stroking his beard, and walked out of the well, "As for your lineage, I'm afraid it would have disappeared long ago."
The voice was silent for a moment, and then said: "Dependence arises and fate perishes, there is no need to force it."
The Taoist shook his head and said: "Although there is no need to force it, if the plans of those few days come true, I am afraid that in the end, there will be no more thoughts."
After finishing his words, he raised his head and looked towards the endless void.
.

There is a curl of green smoke and a light aroma.
Beside the simple desk, Chen Cuo picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and his expression changed slightly.
The breeze blew in from the window, bringing many virtual video clips into Chen Cuo's mind, allowing him to grasp the entire Taihua Cave.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and noticed a change.
Since the thought of the person who claimed to be the Patriarch of Taihua appeared in the painting, there have been a few more subtle changes in the entire cave.
The moon in Chen Cuo's heart is in the sky, illuminating the Taihua Cave Heaven. His thoughts and ideas can pervade and penetrate everywhere in the Cave Heaven. Theoretically, any disturbance can hardly escape his perception.
However, after all, it is not the world of the cave that he created by himself, but the rising moon the day after tomorrow. It is not completely under his control. It will take a long time to refine it before he can truly use his fingers like an arm. Therefore, at this moment, there is still something between him and the cave.
gap.
However, if there were any obvious changes in this cavernous universe, he would still be able to sense it immediately.
"What's going on?" On the table, the white and tender little pig raised its head and asked, "Your kid is in tune with the mind of the cave here. Could it be that he has noticed some change?"
Chen Cuo was brought back to his mind by these words, and he looked towards Xiaozhu with a dazed expression.
"Why are you looking at me like this? I haven't seen you for forty years, but you miss me?"
Chen Cuo smiled and said, "I heard that Brother Zhu has lived a very comfortable life in the past forty years."
"Who are you listening to?" Xiaozhu stiffened his neck, "I have been suffering day and night for the past forty years. How can I have a moment of peace? You don't know that all the little bastards in this cave don't know their importance.
Seniors like me don’t have much respect. If you see me in the future, remember to reprimand me!"
"But, as far as I know, a few days ago, you swallowed a piece of tribute sent from the North, and afterwards, under the banner of Chen, you shut out those who wanted to investigate the crime..."
"That thing is destined to me!" Xiaozhu immediately retorted.
But as soon as the words fell, a figure crawled out from behind, and then called out "chichichigugu".
Xiaozhu's expression suddenly changed, he lowered his head and said, "Nonsense, who said I'm greedy for the smell of incense? There are no traces of incense on that thing, it's clearly an object left by a practitioner from the previous dynasty!"
When Chen Cuo heard this, he sighed and said: "That thing is said to be a tribute, but it was not given to us at Taihua Mountain. It was given to his father by the Prince of the East Palace. It was sent to Taihua Mountain for identification.
Origin, secondly, I feel that it is safe to keep it here. After all, I, Taihuashan, am now considered a powerful person in the world of spiritual practice. I think I can protect a lotus tube, but I have more than enough. I never thought that I would be able to prevent it from happening in the future.
It’s hard to guard against thieves at night, but now the prince has sent someone to fetch them, but he doesn’t know how to deal with it..."
"I'm not a domestic pig from Taihua Mountain! Hmm!" Xiaozhu immediately retorted, "I'm here just to be a guest. If one day Taihua Mountain makes me feel bad, I'll leave immediately. Then, you can
Don't stop me!"
"Chi chi chi chi!"
"Nonsense!" Xiaozhu stared and stood up from the table, "Am I greedy for enjoyment? Believe it or not, I'm leaving right now!" As he said that, he was about to jump off the table, but glanced at Chen Cuo from the corner of his eye.
Chen Cuo smiled slightly, came to Xiaozhu and said: "Brother Zhu, wait a minute, I come to see you today. I am here to reminisce about the past, not to call for punishment. However, the matter of tribute from the North must be dealt with, otherwise the Tang court will pursue it.
, Taihua Mountain threw a pig out, and the Li family wanted to say that we were trying to shirk the blame and make fun of them."
"Humph! That's right!" Xiaozhu stopped, but then he began to ponder, "Why do I feel like your words are not good words?"
Chen Cuo did not go into details here, but instead said: "As the saying goes, the person who untied the bell must tie the bell. Chen knows that Brother Zhu, you are the most sensitive to these mysterious things. You can often detect things that ordinary people cannot, and you will not do it without reason.
There must be a reason for eating violently, right? You might as well tell me."
Xiaozhu hesitated for a moment, and then said: "If you want to talk about the reason, there is a reason. That thing is supposed to be an ordinary relic of the immortal family, but for some reason, when it entered your cave, gold liquid suddenly overflowed, and it was filled with pure liquid.
The breath of Yang Zhongzheng is more mellow and delicious than the incense that has been used for more than a hundred years. I happened to drink some wine at that time and couldn't control it for a moment..."
Chen Cuo shook his head and asked again: "Are you admitting to swallowing?"
Xiaozhu immediately shook his head: "I just drank some gold liquid. The reason why that thing broke has nothing to do with me. By the way..."
He suddenly remembered something and said again: "Didn't those who transported it say that there were cracks on it when they arrived? You can go to the Northland, find those who excavated it, and confront them!"
"Chen Mou has this intention!" Chen Cuo suddenly laughed and said: "The lottery tube came from a cave in Dingxiang County. Brother Zhu, please come with me!"
The little pig was stunned for a moment and then understood.
