Chapter 73 People who are neither alive nor dead
After entering the Traceless Tower, they turned countless corners and crossed several lakes. Finally, the three of them and the cat stopped in front of a small courtyard.
Bai Wei pushed open the courtyard door, and a chill came to him. Sheng Fei glanced around.
The courtyard is not very big. There is only a small pond in the courtyard, with a small pavilion above the pond. The green moss is dark and the water is green.
Beside the pool, there was an old man sitting upright, as quiet as a dead tree, with his fluffy beard hanging all over the ground, piercing deeply into the ground like roots.
Facing his slightly cloudy eyes, Sheng Wei couldn't help but feel dumb, and more thoughts emerged in his mind.
She recognized who this old man was, and his iconic long beard was really eye-catching.
How should we call him? Is he a living legend in the Sky Realm, the Lord of the Holy Land, or the Master of the Human Race?
Well, we have to add another one who is rumored to be the number one magic stick leader in the Tianxiao world.
He went out to practice and pay homage to the tower master, read the treasure book and ask for a divination. Faced with extremely annoying players, this old man who had lived for a long time had never been impatient, so Sheng Wei had a very good impression of him.
While she was sizing up the old man in front of her, the legendary old man who was said to be omniscient in the world of heaven was also sizing up the little girl in front of her.
After Yan put down Sheng Wei, he followed Bai Wei out of the small courtyard step by step. After the courtyard door was completely closed, he couldn't help but look back.
The old man had a kind face and a gentle smile. After the two people outside the door walked away, he winked at Sheng Fei, and his withered face suddenly became a little amused.
"My dear friend, you are really good at it."
Sheng Fei also blinked and laughed: "Old Man Taoli."
This old man was really very old, so old that the world was about to forget his name, but Sheng Fei remembered it, especially clearly, as clearly as he remembered Liu Lanyun, and he had never forgotten it.
The sky has lasted for ten thousand years, the human race has lasted for ten thousand years, and the traceless tower has only had one tower master from beginning to end.
Different from the Goddess of Luoshui who disappeared without a trace ten thousand years ago and the Taoist Master Xuan Shuang who completely perished after incarnating in a hundred thousand snowfields, this kind and kind old man who cultivated talents during his lifetime chose a completely different path.
He is the Lord of the Cave Heaven, the soul of the Traceless Tower, and the person who shoulders the countless burdens entrusted to him by the ancestors of the human race.
Old Man Taoli reached for the teapot on one side, first filled the small cup in front of Sheng Xi, and then slowly poured a full cup for himself.
He felt that no child would refuse sweet things. In fact, he liked them very much.
"Try it and see."
After listening to the old man's words, Sheng Fei picked up the tea cup, lowered his head and closed his eyes slightly.
It wasn't the sweet smell in the hot steam of the tea soup that made her uncomfortable, but it was the fear that once she looked at the old man's hands that were like dead wood, her tears would fall again.
The tea soup was really sweet. The cup was filled with flower and fruit tea that she could not recognize. It had a fragrant aroma. It also added a lot of sugar and unknown nectar, and ripples were undulating on the honey-colored water.
"Hey, kid, don't cry." Old Man Tao Li hurriedly put down his teacup and was about to move closer, but stopped quickly.
There was a hint of confusion in his words: "Did my appearance scare you?"
"No, there is no such thing." Sheng Fei raised his hand and wiped the corners of his eyes. Big tears still rolled down uncontrollably, and a sense of sadness and sadness surged into his heart uncontrollably.
She hated this feeling so much.
"I just feel so hurt and it looks so painful."
Different from the physical pain caused by illness, recalling the Scarlet Flame Princess in Bai Mu's fantasy world, she felt as if a thousand pounds of hot boulder had fallen on her heart.
Baimu Illusion is just a projection of Baimu Town. It should have completely collapsed after losing some parts, but it survived with the support of Crimson Flame Ji's heaven-reaching cultivation and huge vitality.
Seeing the old man in front of him who was probably in a similar situation, Sheng Fei realized that Chiyanji might not be completely dead. Even because the consumption of Baimu Illusion was far less than that of Wutong Tower, her condition was much better than that of Old Man Taoli.
, and still maintains the alluring appearance she had during her lifetime.
If you are not alive, you will suffer more sins than if you are alive.
It's not death, it's more painful than death.
"It seems that you have met Chiyan Ji." Old Man Taoli sighed and said, "You are far smarter than I thought."
In fact, due to his withered and decaying body over the years, he has rarely appeared in front of people.
"Is it worth it?" Sheng Fei didn't understand and began to guess in his mind.
The Mahayana monks in the Tianxiao Realm only have a lifespan of more than 3,600 years. She is not clear about the division of realm and lifespan after entering the Immortal Realm.
I don’t know how many immortal gates the proud men of heaven have opened thousands of years ago, and what kind of situation they have reached?
Old Man Taoli did not answer in a hurry. He raised his hand to refill the empty tea cup in front of Sheng Fei with spiritual tea, and then said slowly: "Before meeting you, we thought Luoshui had failed."
"fail?"
"Yes, failed."
"The Heaven Realm should have been destroyed in ten thousand years."
The old man said the most ridiculous words in the calmest voice, which shocked Sheng Fei and covered his mouth in surprise.
"The record that the world has seen..."
Before she finished speaking, she immediately realized that it was too easy to modify and hide something about the responsibilities and authority of the Traceless Tower!
The truth came unexpectedly. Sheng Fei took a big sip of tea, and his brain was sobered by the sweet and greasy taste.
"Of course it's all false. The crisis of destruction has not been resolved yet."
"Among us, only Luo Shui has the qualification to go to the Wugou Heaven. She went to the God-given Tree and made a wish for the Tianxiao Realm to survive."
The grief on Old Tao Li's face was obvious, and his beard trembled violently with the sound of breathing.
Sheng Fei didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only say dryly: "What about the price? What is the price of a wish?"
"Being driven by the gods of the Immaculate Sky for thousands of years."
Old Man Taoli took a deep look at her and gradually emphasized his tone: "That is the price Luoshui paid, the price paid for the existence of Tianxiao Realm for another ten thousand years."
"But we have all been deceived by the cunning gods."
One day in the Immaculate Sky is ten thousand years in the Heavenly Realm!
They were waiting for a silent agreement underground, but they only blinked at Luoshui in the sky.
No one can deny Luo Shui's power. After all, she is a human being who can be favored by the gods. She is as smart as she, and she realized something was wrong before the night of the Wugou Sky fell.
"She relied on the guidance of the eyes of the God-bearing daughter to directly fight her way out of the Wugou Heaven?" Sheng Fei stirred up an uproar in his heart and put down his tea cup.
She was afraid that she would hear something more surprising, so she dropped the cup that was already worth a lot of money.
Frugality is a good virtue.
"That's right." Old Man Taoli pressed his trembling beard and his tone returned to calm.
"Two years ago, Chi Huo arrived with Bai Mu Ling, and we just learned that Luoshui had escaped Wugou Sky's pursuit, crossed the sea of stars, and returned to the Sky Realm."
But when they rushed over, it was...
The old man let out a long sigh and did not want to think about it anymore.
"She told us and brought hope."
