If this question had been asked to Lu Ming, Lu Ming would have replied, "Of course, live forward and live openly. Ghosts come to kill ghosts, and gods come to kill gods."

If the question was about Lie Yankong, he would probably answer, "Is there a unique answer to this matter of living? Since there is no unique answer, then to me, this matter of living is a choice that can be changed at any time.

.I can live a very humiliating and burdensome life, and I can also live a very flamboyant and indulgent life.”

As for Shui Linglong, a woman who hates evil and has a cold temperament, her answer is, "I just want to cultivate the Tao with all my heart, and I will live how the Tao looks in front of me."

Hundreds of people watch, thousands of people have thousands of faces. There is never a definite answer on how to live.

The four people had different thoughts. When Li Yu asked the question, none of them answered. At this moment, a voice came from outside the door and said, "Looking forward and looking back will only make you hesitate. Since the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge, why not live?"

No regrets."

All four people looked at the door and saw a middle-aged Taoist man walking out.

The Taoist is dressed in white cloth and has a slender face. His skin is warm and delicate, as if his face is a pink color. When you look at the smile on his face from a distance, you feel like you are bathed in the spring breeze. His eyes are shining, as if he is hiding infinite light and heat.

Her hair was combed into a Taoist bun and tied with a Xiaoyao scarf. Everywhere she moved, she felt free and free. There was an air of immortality everywhere, making people forget about vulgarity. A red sandalwood-colored gourd hung around her waist, and it was carved.

There are some complicated but natural patterns, and there are no other decorations. They only give people a sense of simplicity in appearance, revealing the rich atmosphere of the long river of time.

Among the four, only Li Yu knew about the Taoist's existence, so he was not surprised at all. He only looked at the Taoist with curiosity, then stood up and saluted the Taoist, "Thank you, Immortal, for taking care of me before."

Lu Ming and the others were even more surprised when they saw Li Yu's behavior. Could it be that the Taoist had seen him before?

Since the Taoist can arrive first before others arrive, his cultivation must be good. Lie Yankong stepped forward and bowed respectfully, "I am a disciple of Huoyang Sect, Lie Yankong." He turned around and introduced to the other two people,

After saying that, he then asked, "I wonder who the senior is?"

The Taoist smiled and said, "I am a wandering Taoist priest and I have no sect."

Lu Ming then asked, "Senior, have you seen us before?"

The Taoist did not hide anything, saying, "I have seen you, but you have not seen me. From the moment you entered this village, your actions have fallen into my eyes."

Shui Linglong said anxiously, "That being the case, why doesn't Senior help us eliminate that mountain god?"

The Taoist still smiled and said, "If I hadn't helped you, do you think you could have escaped?"

Li Yu hurriedly said, "Brother Lu, when we were in Hongquan Mountain, it was the immortal who told me that my jade pendant could help you break through the illusion."

Everyone's questions were finally solved. They had questions before, why Li Yu knew how to break the illusion! It turned out that someone actually came to help.

Shui Linglong looked ashamed and apologized, "I was the one who was abrupt. Thank you, senior, for saving your life."

But she still didn't give up and continued to ask, "Senior's cultivation level must be higher than mine, why don't you want to take action to solve the crisis here?"

The Taoist chuckled this time and asked, "Why should I take action to solve the crisis here?"

Shui Linglong said, "We as Taoists must take it as our own duty to eliminate demons, defend the Tao, and help the world. If there is any injustice, we should take care of it if we can. If we can't, we should also find a way to inform the Xuntianjian and let the Master Jianshi send it."

People handle it.”

Although he didn't say why, he said inside and outside that since the other person is a Taoist and has this ability, it should be like this, and it should be like this. Otherwise, what qualifications do he have to cultivate Taoism?

The Taoist didn't mind, and continued to ask, "So, what does that have to do with me?"

These words made Lu Ming's expression change, and even Lie Yankong, the best at dealing with people, showed displeasure on his face.

According to the Taoist's thinking, whether he is alive or dead here has nothing to do with him. Everything seems to depend on his mood. If he is in a good mood, he will intervene. If he is in a bad mood, he will turn a blind eye and turn a deaf ear.

But if this is cultivation, what’s the point?

This is completely inconsistent with the concepts they have received since they began to practice Taoism. Shui Linglong's words are their original intention of practicing Taoism and one of the goals they strive for.

But in the eyes of Taoists, it looks like it's none of my business.

The Taoist continued, "Is this place my hometown? No. Is there anyone related to me in this place? No. Is there anything I want in this place? Not even."

"Even so, what reason do I have to intervene in the future direction of this place?"

Lu Ming said in a deep voice, "Is this the way that seniors have cultivated?"

The Taoist replied simply and neatly, "You can think so."

Hearing the Taoist's frank admission, Lu Ming stopped pestering him. After bowing and saluting, he said coldly, "We understand that what happened just now was our fault."

The Taoist didn't take it seriously either. Lu Ming continued to say to Li Yu, "I don't know where your future will be, but if you believe in me, I can find a way to help you solve the problem of your inability to practice."

Finally, he added, "In case I can't solve it, I will help you arrange your life so that you can live according to the idea you and your grandma had before."

Li Yu shook his head and continued, "Without my grandma, there is no other meaning for me to live. Brother Lu, thank you for your kindness, but everyone has his own ambitions and his own destiny. Before I was three years old, my life was in the hands of others."

In my hands, after I was three years old, I finally had the power to make my own decisions, and you won’t interfere with me, right?”

Li Yu's words were categorical and seemed to be a request, but they also revealed his own firm will.

Shui Linglong and Lie Yankong no longer planned to take him back to their sect. After hearing Lu Ming's promise, they also wanted to persuade Li Yu not to be so stubborn. With Dajian Qingshan as his backer, his future life would be better.

Live a comfortable and smooth life.

Just as they were about to speak, the Taoist said from the side, "I don't care what you want to do, but I will watch this kid finish what he wants to do."

Lu Ming's expression changed and he asked, "Senior, what does this mean?"

The Taoist said, "It's not interesting, I just don't want him to die with any regrets."

Lu Ming continued to ask, "Listen to what the senior said just now, it seems that you are saying that you will not interfere with people and things that have nothing to do with you. But what do you mean by what you just said? You want to stop me from leading the way.

Is he leaving?"

These words were obviously suspicious of questioning, and already had an atmosphere of tension.

Shui Linglong and Lie Yankong were both secretly frightened by him and didn't understand why Lu Ming had to go against the Taoist.

What if the Taoist is moody and kills them when he is unhappy? Based on their current strength alone, not to mention the seemingly inscrutable Taoist in front of them, the phantom demons and mountain demons coming out of Hongquan Mountain can defeat them.

Tired of running for their lives.

The Taoist didn't mind at all, and said with a teasing smile, "Young people, please don't be so impulsive. If you are so restless over a trivial matter, have you forgotten what Jian Jiuxiao taught you?"

The Taoist's words had the power to calm people's hearts. When everyone listened to them and entered their hearts, their originally ups and downs calmed down.

Everyone was shocked. A person who could achieve such power with just a few words must have entered Taoism. Maybe his true strength is as high as the peak.

What surprised everyone even more was that the other party could say the name Jian Jiuxiao in such a normal tone. Could it be that his true identity was something comparable to him?

Who is Jian Jiuxiao?

Although Shui Linglong and Lie Yankong knew that Lu Ming came from Dajian Qingshan, they didn't know who his master was. There was an unwritten rule in Dajian Qingshan. Before the sword was polished, they were not allowed to tell others who they were apprenticed to, so

, when the disciples of Dajian Qingshan are walking outside, others know that they are disciples of Dajian Qingshan. However, if the other party does not tell them, they will have no idea who the master is and what kind of sword they practice.

There are seven sword immortals on the bright surface of the Great Sword Qingshan. Those who can be called sword immortals are the practitioners who have entered the Tao, that is, the great practitioners who have entered the eleventh realm.

However, Shui Linglong and Lie Yankong knew that Jian Jiuxiao was not among them, so Jian Jiuxiao was a sword immortal born in Dajian Qingshan.

The swordsman born in this world is either of extremely high seniority or extremely powerful, but either possibility shows that the Taoist is stronger or not weaker than him.

When Lu Ming heard the Taoist announce his inheritance, his face turned dark and he said in a deep voice, "What does the Taoist mean by announcing my inheritance?"

The Taoist shook his head and sighed, "Today's young people are still too impulsive. Compared with each other, I still prefer that little guy."

He thought for a moment and said with a smile, "Well, even if I want you to listen to my wishes, I might as well form a good relationship with you."

The Taoist said to Shui Linglong, "The method you practice is not difficult if you want to enter the Tao. I believe that your master has his own method to teach you. I will not comment on this. But after entering the Tao, how should you move forward? I just

I’ll give you a saying, the water of the Yellow River comes from the sky.”

To others it sounds like there is no trace to be found, but here in Shui Linglong it is like a sudden flash of inspiration, like the sound of thunder, and it suddenly becomes clear.

She suppressed the excitement in her heart, hurriedly gave a big gift to the Taoist, and said sincerely, "Thank you, senior, for your teachings. Shui Linglong is deeply grateful. If I ever become a Taoist, I will definitely repay the favor of my senior for his guidance today."

Indeed, for the three of them, it is not difficult to enter the Tao. What is difficult is how to continue walking after entering the Tao. Even if there are people in the master who are stronger than the Tao, different people have different paths.

There are only a few differences, and sometimes these differences are as small as a thousand miles away. Therefore, they can only explore on their own as to how to go. But now that someone is willing to guide them to go further, isn't it a great kindness?

When the Taoist said these words, he did not avoid the other people, so Lie Yankong was extremely envious after knowing that Shui Linglong had received the advice.

Just as he was looking at the other person with hot eyes, the Taoist said to Lie Yankong, "The Tao you cultivate is incomparable. It is not difficult for you to enter the Tao. Whether you can go on, there are only four words, live towards death."

"

Lie Yankong was also shocked after hearing this. The way he cultivated was the way of heavenly fire with the three-legged golden crow. Except for him and his master, no one else in his sect knew that he could use the fire of his sect to transform into a creature with a trace of the three-legged golden crow.

The spirit of the Golden Crow originally had a rough idea of ​​how to go after entering the Tao, but no one had ever done this. He did not dare to try, for fear of death and the Tao would disappear, but now the Taoist pointed out this path.

He can still walk. Maybe as long as he can continue walking, he can become the first person in the history of Huoyang Sect.

Lie Yankong also bowed respectfully to the Taoist and sincerely thanked him.

Lu Ming knew that he would be next. Before the Taoist could speak, he spoke first, "Taoist Master, there is no need to give me advice. The path I am cultivating will go forward unstoppably. No one can stop me, and nothing can stop me. I understand your good intentions."

After saying that, he glanced at Li Yu beside him and continued, "As for him, I must take him away. I will not watch him die."

The Taoist was not angry and said with a smile, "I didn't intend to give you any advice, but are you sure that what you are going to give him is what he wants?"

Lu Mingdao said, "He is still young, and I do it for his own good. Only by living can we have a future and realize our unfinished regrets."

The Taoist sighed, "But you forget that when you make a choice, for him, what he wants has already become a regret!"

Lu Ming was silent. He had indeed forgotten this. He had always believed that living could make up for regrets, but if there was a chance to avoid regrets, why should he place his hope on the illusory future?

He stood there blankly. Li Yu couldn't bear him to do this, so he held his hand. Lu Ming looked down at him. After thinking for a while, he slowly squatted down, looked at him levelly, and asked, "Tell me
