The heart, suddenly tightened again.
The words of the Immortal Tian Shou surprised and shocked me greatly!
Will you not kill me?
However, in the next second, his gaze turned to my parents.
"Exorcising ghosts, and what did you summon? It's intriguing, very intriguing."
"However, the most interesting thing is not you all."
Slowly standing up, after that, Immortal Tian Shou sat back down on the ground and meticulously dug through the stone.
I suddenly understood; he was looking for the two segments of finger bone.
In other words, he was looking for Gao Tian Shao!
I tried to chant a spell, but my mouth couldn't move. The only thing I could move was my thoughts.
After a long time, Immortal Tian Shou lifted his head in vain, his gaze falling upon me. He suddenly smiled and began to search through my clothes.
Soon, all my things on my body were taken out.
The artifacts equipped by He Youtian for me, Lao Gong's night pot, mask, Taoist robe, the 'Mystical Jade Tablet of One':
Even the two letters given to me by Lao Qin were found by Immortal Tian Shou.
"The soul and spirit are exhausted, and the thing that serves as one's body has turned into fine powder?"
The expression on Immortal Tian Shou's face turned a bit unpleasant.
"Even as an immortal, why leave not a trace of your lingering spirit? How can you be called a high cultivator?"
The tone of this statement clearly carries some provocation and challenge.
I was confused and puzzled.
Is it true, Master Gao Tian, that you have completely exhausted this strand of soul, and your object of possession has disappeared?
I cannot affirm it.
Because the last time he disappeared, he returned to my father.
After that, Immortal Tian Shou did not stop his actions and went to search my parents, but still found nothing.
The time passed slowly, and his every move was even more excruciating.
"Okay, scattering is good. It's better for me to not worry about such a figure in the mountains, preventing me from sleeping and eating peacefully."
"Hmm?"
originally playing with the 'Mystical Jade Tablet of One' given by Chжy, he looked down at the ground and sat cross-legged, picking up the two letters and starting to read them.
The more he read, the brighter Immortal Tian Shou's eyes grew, and he kept nodding his head.
"Summoning the Yin Spirit to control the plague ghosts, summoning the Yang Spirit to alter the will of heaven—what a cunning plan, truly a cunning plan!"
"However, why are you a Taoist?"
Immortal Tian Shou was lost in thought.
"Jin Yang's plague ghost originated from you. No wonder several elders mysteriously disappeared and the plague ghost has never been found..."
"No wonder, Sun Zhuo often encountered obstacles in Jinyang. It seems that Miao San has known all these secrets. He must also be planning to take advantage of the plague ghost."
There are many information gaps that Tian Shou Dao Guan is not aware of.
Old Qin's letters revealed many things that allowed Immortal Tian Shou to make inferences and confirm his guesses.
"Ro Xian Sheng, Ro Xian Sheng. If you are taking the path shown on these two pieces of paper, you would be more suitable for Tianshou Dao Guan than Sun Zhuo. This is the land tailor-made for you."
"You're about to go astray, and your master wants you to control ghosts, but you've learned lightning arts instead."
"However, this makes me even more interested in you."
"Where is your 'crossing-the-underworld life'?" Immortal Tian Shou muttered.
Suddenly, there was a soft ring.
The sound was extremely unpleasant to the ears, as if there were bugs inside chewing.
In a moment, I regained my mobility and stumbled back two steps.
I stared fixedly at Immortal Tian Shou, the sense of fatigue only becoming more overwhelming.
My parents, holding each other, seemed even more powerless.
"Hahaha, you two, what are your names?"
Immortal Tian Shou was very polite and asked my parents with a faint smile.
"Luo Muyao."
"Gu Qing."
My parents could only respond in a low voice.
"Both of you will live at my Tian Shou Tao Guan for a while, is that alright?"
"Hmm, now that you two have arrived on the mountain, those dignified-looking Taoists haven't come, so it seems they've really left."
Immortal Tian Shou continued to speak in a faintly smiling manner.
"This..." My mother was stunned.
"It's not possible! Absolutely not..." Old Gong screamed.
Chaxie suddenly bent over, grabbed Old Gong's head with both hands, and pulled him up from the ground with such force that Old Gong's head was almost torn in two.
She held Old Gong's head in both hands and forcefully inhaled.
Old Gong's pupils dilated, and his fear intensified!
But then, his head suddenly shrank, and he was tightly bound by a human skin, disappearing in an instant.
A faint white glow emanated from the night pot, and the surface script became deeper.
"Hmm?" Immortal Tian Shou's eyes brightened again, he picked up the night pot bag, looked at it for a while, nodded and said: "This ghost has some meaning. This is Buddhist scriptures?"
Putting down the night pot bag again, Immortal Tian Shou's gaze fell on my parents, and his smile became even more serene.
I opened my mouth in a low voice and said: "Let them go, they pose no threat to you. I'll stay in Xian Dong Mountain, you can kill or..."
"To kill or to torture? Ro Xian Sheng, you seem to have a bias against me."
"Have I ever said that I want to kill you or torture you?"
"Then let the two of you settle this, then."
"Hahaha, my Xian Dong Mountain, although somewhat dilapidated these two times, its foundation remains intact. The water of Tian Gong Spring can ensure that all the Taoists at my Tian Shou Dao Guan are free from the infestation of San Shou Chong, meaning there is no limit!"
"Among the many Taoist temples, Juqu Mountain, Yunjin Mountain, Sigu Mountain, with Gu Qiang City at the forefront, there are countless others. How many immortals have died at the San Shou Chong checkpoint?"
"Even the previous Immortal Tian Shou, why was he so crazy? It was because I hit on his sore spot."
"This immortal is still willing to take Ro Xian Sheng as a disciple."
"Compare and contrast. In the four guiding mountains, Ro Xian Sheng has become a target for everyone. He has clearly established great merit for the mountain gate, and has contributed greatly to the so-called Yin-Yang world, the so-called prestigious factions, and has hurt me and eliminated the potential threat that could overturn the four guiding mountains."
"The result is that because of you two, Ro Xian Sheng's merit has become a waste."
"If he hadn't run away that day, he would have been imprisoned for life or would have died somewhere."
"What do you think of this?"
Immortal Tian Shou spread his hands, his smile grew even more rich and hearty, and he was more confident than ever.
"People should not do things for themselves, for if they do, heaven and earth will destroy them. My Tian Shou Tao Guan first cultivates oneself, then cultivates the world. Do you think that our Taoist temple is evil? Then there are also people in our temple who heal the world."
"Weapons like swords are just tools, water can either sail a boat or capsize it!"
"What does 'evil' mean?"
"Letting Ro Xian Sheng become my disciple, if in the future he saves thousands of people in a land of suffering, won't those thousands be grateful to him?"
"If one's heart is evil, one's actions will be evil. Tianshou, simply means living as long as heaven!"
"You respect someone who deserves respect, you can respect him as well! Even because of you, others may show more respect to him. It's not about you carrying Tian Gong Spring water, with your parents, to go to someone and kneel and apologize. I guess you were about to do that?"
"Your parents have raised you, given you flesh and blood, and given you a life. Without them, there is no you. Is this how you repay them?"
"Even if you go a step further, what wrong has Ro Xian Sheng done? Why do you have to ask for people's forgiveness?"
"To put it all together, it's because your fists aren't hard enough, and your words aren't strong enough. If you are strong and firm, who would dare to move a single hair or question you? Even if you are the owner of Tian Shou Dao Guan, wouldn't they treat you with great respect?"
"Ro Xian Sheng, do you think this makes sense?"
Immortal Tian Shou has his hands on his back and is staring intently.
