The old monk was wearing a gray monk's robe and had a shiny bald head. He floated away.
Wang Xuan and Lao Chen's faces trembled slightly. They stared at his shiny back of the head again and again. Both of them were tense and didn't say anything.
"Xiao Wang, I went to deep space for you. How can you repay me?" Finally, Lao Chen couldn't hold it anymore and spoke first.
Wang Xuan patted himself again and again and said, "Lao Chen, be normal. You are so old and you gave me goose bumps."
"Tell me, am I protecting you from disaster?" Lao Chen stared at him, looking like he wanted an explanation.
Wang Xuan was indeed wrong about this, but he just said a few words casually that day. He didn't expect the female Taoist priest to really go to Lao Chen.
"Old Chen, you can't say that. A few days ago, Qingmu and I were discussing that we all agreed that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. You are one of the leaders of the organization. You finally really highlight your ability and responsibility. Qingmu also agrees."
Old Chen looked at him seriously and showed respect for himself. He really wanted to hit him!
Old Chen sighed again, looking into the distance in a trance, and finally said a little lonely, "You don't understand how deep this pool is. You can't imagine how terrifying the truth of the Yuhua in the pre-Qin period was. I really paid a great price this time."
Wang Xuan was surprised. He was also horrified last night and alert. He had other opinions on the Yuhua matter. Now Old Chen actually said this. It seems that he has already seen something?
Soon, Wang Xuan figured it out. The expedition organization cooperated with the country and was semi-official in nature. Naturally, they knew many secrets that ordinary people could not imagine, even the truth of history.
After all, who can thoroughly investigate everything more deeply than the country? Documents and secret books of past dynasties must have recorded and left something.
"That period of time was really vicissitudes and heavy. It was not only history, but also a brilliant poem that moved the world and shook the stars and moon." Old Chen's words were heavy, and even his sighs seemed bleak and a little powerless.
"The appearance of the female Taoist priest is a very bad omen. Her return means... forget it, I can't say it." Old Chen rubbed his temples, looking very tired, and said: "You are still young, you don't know how serious this matter is."
Wang Xuan looked at Old Chen's depressed look and felt a little uncomfortable. Old Chen was usually calm and composed, but now he was completely different, exhausted.
"Don't think this is a small matter. If you don't handle it well, it will cause a big mess. So, I took her to the deep space and visited some places, hoping to solve the problem. Unfortunately, I failed. I was still guided back by her involuntarily."
At this point, Lao Chen was a little sad. He patted Wang Xuan on the shoulder and said, "Xiao Wang, the future belongs to you young people. If... I am gone in a while, your generation must try their best to explore some secrets of the old art and find the right way that disappeared in the long river of history. Maybe it can also be called a shortcut!"
Wang Xuan was scared. Lao Chen was going to die. He was going to die soon? !
"Life is so ups and downs. No one knows how it will end!" Lao Chen sighed and looked at the horizon. In the morning glow, there was a layer of light golden luster on his body.
Wang Xuan didn't pay much attention before, but now he found that although Lao Chen was haggard, he was straight and had an indescribable temperament.
"Master, don't hold on any longer. It's fine if you can't get the female Taoist's immortal method, but Wang Xuan's strength may improve by leaps and bounds..."
Qingmu came and heard Lao Chen's sigh while he was still outside the courtyard gate, so he also persuaded Lao Chen through the courtyard wall not to be too stubborn, and strode in.
When he saw Wang Xuan, he wanted to cover his mouth, and at the same time, he wanted to disappear immediately, not daring to look at Lao Chen.
Oh my, Lao Chen is really holding back a big move! Wang Xuan was stunned.
He was speechless for a while. In his eyes, the light golden glow on Lao Chen's body instantly faded away, and all his upright figure and righteousness disappeared.
In fact, Wang Xuan didn't get into the play at all and didn't believe it very much. Now he saw it with his own eyes and caught him in the act, so it was his turn to beat Lao Chen.
"Lao Chen, you are really good." Wang Xuan sighed.
Old Chen didn't feel embarrassed at all. The so-called sadness and loneliness disappeared in an instant, and he regained his calmness and composure. He shook his head and sighed, saying: "This is the ups and downs of life, and the trajectory is changing at any time."
He looked at his apprentice and said: "Qingmu, you are so old, why are you still so impetuous, Xiao Wang is laughing at you, right?"
What can Qingmu say? It was only after Old Chen came back and had an in-depth exchange of views that he understood what Old Chen was planning.
Wang Xuan glanced at Old Chen and saw that he was so haggard, and he didn't sympathize with him at all. His old colleague was a ruthless person. In order to get the immortal method of the female Taoist priest, he held on for so many days and refused to find someone to take over. He was really desperate!
He leaned over and whispered, "Is there really a method of immortality?"
Qingmu couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Okay, Xiao Wang, be kind and don't provoke Lao Chen."
Wang Xuan glanced at him and said, "Qingmu, if I were you, I would turn around and leave. You really took over your master's job. I feel it will be your turn soon."
"Shut up!" Qingmu was scared and took a few steps back.
Then, he felt a palpitation and felt bad. His spiritual realm was under some kind of pressure and cold sweat broke out.
At the same time, Lao Chen let out a long breath and felt something in his heart. He said, "I feel that the fairy has left and no longer emits spiritual pressure to me."
It must be said that Lao Chen is really strong. He can sense whether the female Taoist priest has left during the day.
But he was also shocked and looked at Wang Xuan. This kid just opened his mouth and it worked? There seems to be a bridge between him and the female Taoist priest!
"Is this true... It's my turn?!" Qingmu wanted to cry, but unfortunately, the mouth that had been enlightened said it all, and it was told to him several days ago.
Wang Xuan also became serious. Do female Taoist priests not need to enter the dream? Do they have this method during the day? It really brings pressure.
Lao Chen now has a complicated expression, with relief and regret. He first felt relieved, and then sighed. He has persisted until now, and has been tossed around, but it is still in vain.
Wang Xuan said: "Lao Qing, you should go to Daxinganling as soon as possible. Don't learn from Lao Chen to toss around. I think you'd better take Jinchuan and Qian Lei with you. There is strength in numbers, and it's easier to share the burden."
Qingmu glared at him and wanted to say, didn't Jinchuan just intercept you once, and Qian Lei seemed to have asked you for a stone?
But he still agreed in his heart that he had to find someone to share the burden and go to Daxinganling together, otherwise he would probably not be able to handle it alone.
Old Chen said, "These days, I have been talking to that fairy respectfully and devoutly, and I have not slept all night for this. I think she is reasonable. Qingmu, you go."
What else can Qingmu say? He can't just scold his master. The old man has suffered in vain, and now he is flattering himself, and finally he wants his apprentice to inherit the "legacy".
Only Old Chen and Wang Xuan were left in the courtyard. The two looked at each other, and finally it was Old Chen who laughed first.
"Xiao Wang, tell me, you have quite a few secrets, even the female Taoist priest looks at you differently, but she finally left and is going back to the underground."
Old Chen regained his former calmness and composure. Although his words were still peaceful, there was an invisible pressure emanating from him.
Wang Xuan did not speak, calm and silent.
"Don't deny it. I know how strong you were when you just graduated. When you easily defeated two assassins who practiced iron sand palm that night, you happened to come back from Daxing'anling. At that time, I knew that you were shrouded in fog." Lao Chen spoke without any emotional fluctuations.
He added: "Your strength has increased very rapidly. This time you actually defeated Sun Chengkun and frightened Qingmu. Although he didn't say anything, he was a little confused about your growth rate and felt frightened. If this continues, even my eyelids will twitch wildly."
Obviously, Lao Chen can still keep calm now, which shows that his strength is extremely profound and he is a rare super master!
Wang Xuan sighed. He knew that this situation would happen sooner or later, because his strength was indeed increasing too fast. As long as the people around him were interested, they would notice it sooner or later.
Lao Chen obviously wanted to dig something out of him!
"Lao Chen, if I tell you that I really don't have the method of feathering immortality, do you believe it?" Wang Xuan said with a serious face.
"What's the mystery about you?" asked Lao Chen.
"There is a secret, but it is not universal. If I tell others, they can't do it. It will only cause more trouble." Wang Xuan sighed. He was also very calm and not afraid at all.
Lao Chen shook his head, patted his shoulder and said, "Don't think too much. I won't force you, but you might as well think more about whether to tell it. Don't rush to answer me now. I will ask you to go fishing tomorrow. We can talk then."
Then, he spoke again very vigilantly, saying, "Don't make trouble. Don't think too much. The female Taoist priest must have returned to the underground this time and will not come out again. After all, her body is there."
Wang Xuan didn't care at all, and was still laughing, saying, "Lao Chen, you think too much. Have a good sleep tonight. After all, you have been through so many days."
At this moment, Lao Chen's eyelids were twitching. Why did he have a bad premonition?
He quickly called Qingmu and asked him where he was? Could he be back nearby again?
Wang Xuan said, "What are you thinking? Am I that kind of person? The female Taoist priest has left. Can I still call her back? I'm afraid she will torment me."
Lao Chen nodded. That was the case. He also felt that Wang Xuan could not control the female Taoist priest.
Next, Wang Xuan and Lao Chen talked about Pufa Temple.
"Lao Chen, do you know the history of this temple? What major events have happened? Why do I feel that although this place is sacred and solemn, it lacks a bit of Buddhist spirit?"
Lao Chen shook his head and yawned, saying that he really didn't know. He was going to catch up on his sleep. Now he can finally have peace.
Not long after, Wang Xuan consulted an old monk in the temple, asking about the history of this ancient temple, any legends, and major events that have happened.
The old monk talked a lot, mentioning many almost mythical legends. In the past, there was a holy monk in Pufa Temple who had a profound Taoist fruit and eventually achieved the status of a bodhisattva!
Wang Xuan carefully screened and picked out valuable news, and finally he heard a historical event that shocked him.
Three hundred years ago, an earthquake occurred in the area of Pufa Temple, and the ancient temples and pagodas collapsed.
"That is to say, the so-called thousand-year-old temples, although the inheritance is so long, those buildings are actually no more than three hundred years old?"
The old monk sighed, a little sad, shook his head, and said: "These buildings are actually only a few decades old."
"What?" Wang Xuan was surprised.
"Decades ago, people from Xinxing excavated various relics under the old land, and they were also very concerned about ancient temples and Taoist temples. Some old people in the chaebols believed in Buddhism and Taoism, and were willing to spend a huge price to "please leave" an entire temple and a Taoist temple."
When Wang Xuan heard this, he suddenly realized what was going on.
