Chapter Seven, The Old Daoist

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

He has been in the field for decades, yet this is the first time he has seen an old Taoist in such a state of disarray. Indeed, given the old man's level of cultivation, it is astonishing that he is displaying such agitation; one can only imagine the turmoil within him.

No, apart from the one in Master Wu's room, this item is only found in the guest room

"The Little Yintan (Yinyun)" the two young Taoists replied in unison

After a moment, the courtyard gate opened by itself without any wind. Mingmei walked in, familiar with the place. The doors of the side rooms were all wide open. As he walked along, he found the way completely unobstructed.

The old Taoist opened his eyes, his gaze calm and tranquil, devoid of any fluctuations or ripples, as if there were no longer anything in this world that he needed to be concerned about

Television

Are these what you have done

How many people are there on the mountain

It was made by the master chef in the kitchen

What have you discovered

Within the mountain gate, the old Daoist's eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of severity: "Are you acting on your own accord?"

"You are absolutely right," the old Taoist coughed several times and once again assumed a solemn demeanor. Suddenly, a slight change appeared on his face as he said, "You can see clearly now; he is not a disciple of any other sect."

After wandering around the room, Xiao Wenbing's gaze suddenly fixed on an object. He looked at it in disbelief and uncertainly asked, "What is this?"

This person does not possess any magical abilities; even a simple levitation charm from a disciple frightened him to the point of losing his senses. He is undoubtedly a complete novice who has never encountered Taoist arts before

Feeling somewhat hungry, Xiao Wenbing casually picked up a piece that looked relatively appealing and tossed it into his mouth

Just by observing the environment here, which is vastly different from the outside world, one can tell that it is anything but ordinary. However, when he suddenly saw a high-tech modern product in a place filled with antiquity, an absurd feeling surged unexpectedly in his heart.

It is uncertain whether it is due to genuine hunger, but this piece of cake is indeed the most delicious food he has ever tasted

However, at this moment, his heart was still beating very fast; the excitement brought to him by that journey was indeed a bit overwhelming

Three Echoes Symbol

What is the name of your book?

The military child's cultivation has already reached the Golden Core stage; apart from us old fellows who refuse to leave, who else can contend with him

Ming Mei was taken aback, only to see the old Taoist also suddenly stop smiling, revealing a rare look of embarrassment.

"Good, good..." The old Daoist exclaimed repeatedly, saying: "You have done very well; you have already shown him the marvelous applications of Daoist arts. However, this is far from enough. I shall personally intervene to let him witness the essence of the Daoist teachings, so that he may develop a heart inclined towards the Dao. In this way, everything will fall into place, and he can be accepted as a disciple."

"Spiritual Root?" The old Daoist suddenly stood up, clearly taken aback by this news, to the point of being almost unable to contain himself

The disciple has already been brought into the mountain gate

The two young Taoist priests showed a look of difficulty, perhaps realizing the implications of the situation, and finally said: "There are a total of about thirty people."

Apart from the ancestral master, there are only five inner disciples, while the others are merely servants attending to the esteemed masters

Exactly

Mingmei raised her head, only to see the old Taoist priest's face filled with an excitement that was hard to contain

You are the one who has attained the level of Jiedan, and if even you can discover this, then what does that say about his spiritual roots...

Well, since the three-sound talisman has been activated, Jun'er must be in trouble. What about the messenger?

Ah... Xiao Wenbing was secretly astonished; there were only six masters here, yet more than twenty people were serving them. What kind of life were they living, to be so extravagant

Two young Taoist priests attentively brought over warm, damp towels, while also pouring tea and preparing delicate pastries

His spiritual roots are indeed the thickest I have ever seen in my life as a disciple. Therefore, in a moment of boldness, I took the liberty of bringing him into the mountain gate, overstepping my authority, and I ask my master to impose punishment.

Master, Ming Mei's expression changed suddenly, and he quickly knelt down, respectfully saying: "While conversing with that person, I unexpectedly discovered something."

Sir, please have some tea

Is it present in every room

Mingmei left the house and wandered east and west until he arrived at a courtyard. He knocked lightly on the door and then waited respectfully.

It turned out that in a moment of excessive excitement, he spoke without thinking and, for the first time in decades, actually cursed in front of his disciples

Exactly

And * the * book `` what. '' Although the old Taoist's voice was neither hurried nor slow, his disciple Mingmei, who had followed him for many years, was well aware that the old Taoist was already feeling angry

The two young Taoist priests also appeared quite surprised and cautiously said, "This is a television."

However, he was unaware that although Xiao Wenbing was greatly astonished by his miraculous abilities, he was not so frightened that he could not speak.

Xiao Wenbing nodded slightly, yet he was at a loss as to what to do. What had just happened had exceeded his understanding. Fortunately, he was not an ordinary person; otherwise, he would have been completely stunned by now

Indeed, I too have been thinking along these lines. However, the senior brother gave the messenger a three-sound talisman

Xiao Wenbing's expression was extremely peculiar. As he traveled along the way, he had already faintly guessed a few things; perhaps the legends about immortals in the world are true. The Taoist here gave him such a feeling, and it is very likely that he has arrived at an immortal's cave.

He did not dare to be negligent and immediately explained: "Master, I have discovered that this person possesses a spiritual root."

In the midst of rushing, due to the excessive speed, it was impossible to speak. Once I came to a stop, I suddenly entered a realm that was extraordinary, dreamlike, and reminiscent of a library. Naturally, it was easy to feel lost, but it was certainly not due to excessive fright.

Xiao Wenbing nodded silently, saying nothing, and stepped forward to turn on the television, watching it out of boredom. However, his heart was in turmoil; although his eyes were fixed on the screen, he was not truly seeing anything.

Master, the senior brother suddenly sent a secular person up the mountain to deliver a message, as it seems he is currently in trouble

Gazing at the house that exuded an air of ancient elegance, Xiao Wenbing felt a sense of wonder in his heart; this was undoubtedly a place unlike any he had ever seen

In the last room sat an old Taoist priest with hair and beard as white as snow. His two snow-white eyebrows resembled the thick brows of the God of Longevity, hanging down to his cheeks. It seemed that when he first shaved his face, he accidentally shaved off both his eyebrows and beard all at once. When he put them back on, they ended up in a different position, with the thick beard on his forehead, thus appearing quite prosperous

Ha ha... the old Taoist laughed heartily and said: "Punish you for nothing."

Oh ... ...

"What kind of people are they?" Xiao Wenbing naturally noticed their hesitation, but at this moment, he was completely unaware of the situation here. Gaining even a little more understanding would be beneficial, so he pretended not to see and continued to ask.
