death paradise

() Looking at the Taoist priest who appeared suddenly, DU Chen wanted to laugh a little, mainly because the Taoist priest's attire was old or not, and it was completely patchwork.And he looked disheveled, with a lot of white beard, and now his eyes were fixed on the steamed bun in DU Chen's hand.

"I said fortune-telling."

"I am a Taoist priest." The old Taoist priest pointed to the yellowed white cloth in his hand, "Did you see the words on it? Being a half-immortal is not the same concept as a fortune teller. I am a Taoist priest with professional ethics."

"Then, a Taoist fortune-teller." Du Chen laughed dumbly, the old Taoist was quite serious, "You said just now that my seal is black, there are dark clouds above my head, and there is bloody disaster. I said you fortune-tellers, you can't be a little fresh prologue?"

"I don't say that, will you stop?"

You are welcome even if you are a half-immortal, and you admit it openly.

"Yes." Du Chen was also helpless, and met such a person.

"Brother Du Chen, he must be a liar, let's go back." Ye Xuan who was walking in front hurriedly turned back, she looked like a deceitful person who would do anything.

"Little girl, don't talk nonsense." Banxian was upset, "Let me ask you, are you living in the Mercy Temple recently?"

"Maybe you've seen us before and know where we live, so there's nothing strange about it." Ye Xuan still didn't believe it.

"Okay, little girl, if I don't show my hand today, I'll be underestimated by you." Suan Banxian directly passed DU Chen and Ye Xuan, stretched out his big withered hand, and walked towards Zijue and Ziwu.

"Old man, what are you doing?" Seeing that Zijue and Ziwu were walking and eating steamed buns, Ye Xuan hurriedly shouted without noticing Suanbanxian behind him.

"Wait, let me see what tricks he is going to play." Du Chen said so, his right hand has actually grabbed the handle of the m500. The gun passed.

But what happened next shocked Du Chen and Ye Xuan.

I saw the outstretched right hand of the sloppy old Taoist priest, passing directly behind Zijue, and Zijue didn't react at all, and was still eating steamed buns with Ziwu, talking about something with a smile.

"Little girl, how are you?"

Suan Banxian stroked his long beard under his chin, walked back and smiled at Ye Xuan.

"Why, what happened just now?" Ye Xuan was stunned, "Could it be that you are a ghost? No, isn't it true that ghosts can't come out during the day?"

"Bah, bah, you are the ghost. The old Taoist, I am living well, how can I be a ghost." The old Taoist greedily looked at the steamed bun in Ye Xuan's hand.

Seeing the appearance of the old Taoist priest, Ye Xuan became even more curious: "Then how did you put your hand into that little monk's body just now?"

"Give me a steamed bun first, and I'll tell you." Suan Banxian stretched out his fingers, "Also, although what I said to this little brother just now was a bit exaggerated, the bloody disaster is real. written all over his face."

Ye Xuan already believed it a little at this time, and quickly handed the other uneaten steamed bun to Suan Banxian.

"And yours." Even Banxian stretched out his hand to DU Chen.

DU Chen handed over a steamed bun: "Can we talk?"

After receiving the two steamed buns, the old Taoist said to the two young monks walking in front: "Aren't you going alone? Are you afraid that they will get lost?"

Zijue and Ziwu were still walking ahead, neither paying attention to what was going on behind them.

Thinking of what happened on the mountain just now, Du Chen said to Ye Xuan: "Go and stay with them first, I'll listen to what the Taoist said. Don't tell them what the Taoist did just now."

"Ah."

Ye Xuan actually wanted to hear it too, but she nodded and chased after Zijue and Ziwu.

Seeing the half-immortal who was eating steamed buns, Du Chen went to the store to buy a bottle of water and threw it over: "Okay, tell me the purpose of your visit."

"Wait...wait a moment." Suan Banxian unscrewed the bottle cap, gulped a few mouthfuls of water, and then swallowed all the steamed buns.It took a while to calm down, "Old Daoist, I haven't eaten so full for many days."

"Tell me why you came to me." DU Chen's voice turned cold, "I don't want to waste too much time."

After eating and drinking enough, the Banxian hiccupped, and then said slowly, "Young man, don't be too impatient. In fact, as I said before, you are indeed in a bloodbath."

"Tell me first, why your hand was able to pass through that little monk's body just now." This is what Du Chen cares more about.

"Then look at it now."

Suan Banxian stretched out his left hand and stretched towards DU Chen's body.

Although Du Chen knew that the old Taoist priest was demonstrating, he was always vigilant in his heart.But what makes DU Chen strange is that the hand that the old Taoist just reached into Zijue's body is now pressing on his chest like a normal person, and it is impossible to reach in.

"See it?" The old Taoist withdrew his shriveled left hand, "I won't tell you the reason. The plague of blood and light."

"Old man, what do you say?" Du Chen knew that there were many things he didn't understand in this world, so he became respectful to this old Taoist priest, "I still hope for advice."

"Hehe, children can be taught." The old Taoist was very satisfied with Du Chen's attitude, "If you go back, there will be a catastrophe tonight. But if you go to the place you just came back again, there may be unexpected gains, too. The key to unraveling this catastrophe. Maybe you and that little girl still have a chance."

"I don't know where the old man said to come back, but where is it?"

DU dust kept an eye on it and asked this question on purpose.

"Young man, you're wrong. I'm a half-immortal who never tells lies." Then, the half-immortal patted DU Chen's shoulder three times with his left hand, "The situation in the Temple of Mercy is not what you think. It's that simple. There is a woman in your place. Although she survived the catastrophe, it is not good for you to take her in. And the girl next to you should have died long ago. I don't know what method you used to change the day In exchange for her life, she actually saved her life, even the old Taoist sighed. But her life is not long after all. Whether to go to the place you came back or not depends on your thoughts."

Du Chen naturally understood that the woman the old Taoist said was Hei Zhi Chang Su Luo, as long as there is a copy with her participation, it will be promoted to Shura level.As for helping Ye Xuan survive, it was because he traveled back and changed Ye Xuan's fate, this is beyond the knowledge of the old man.

"old……"

Just as DU Chen was about to ask the half-immortal again, he found that the Taoist priest had disappeared, and there was no old Taoist priest on the streets on the left and right.The old Taoist priest who was standing in front of him had completely disappeared, as if he had never appeared before.

But Du Chen felt the three slaps on his shoulder, and quickly turned his head to look at his shoulder, only to find that there was a Taoist talisman and a note on it.

The runes on the Taoist talisman are very complicated. DU Chen is sure that some Taoist players he met in his previous life, no one can make this kind of runes.

Putting away the Dao talisman, Du Chen took a closer look at the note again: "Dust to dust, soil to dust. Dao rushes to use it, or it is not full, and the abyss is like the origin of all things. But you know, it's a disaster." Blessings depend on."

"Brother Duchen, where's the old Taoist priest?" Ye Xuan walked over with Zijue and Ziwu, just now she just turned her head, and when she turned around again, the old Taoist priest disappeared.

"gone."

DU dust didn't say much, but looked at the note in his hand.

"Did the old Taoist give it to you?" Ye Xuan naturally saw the note, "Ashes return to ashes, dust returns to dust, should it mean the same as bridge to bridge and road to road? It just has nothing to do with each other. The final disaster The basis of happiness is naturally that although it is a disaster, it can also lead to good things. But what is the meaning of this passage in the middle?"

Putting the note away, Du Chen took a look at Tianse: "The last sentence of misfortune and blessing comes from Lao Tzu, which is almost what you understand, but you misunderstood the first sentence."

"Wrong?" Ye Xuan didn't understand.

"Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, this sentence comes from the Bible." Du Chen explained, "the original words are ashes to ashes, dust to dust, so that the dead can be peaceful, and the living can be liberated again. Simply put, it is you What is is what it is, the cycle of life, where it comes from will go where it comes from, everything returns to the original."

"Back to the origin, what origin?" Ye Xuan couldn't understand.

"I don't know either, but it should be some kind of potential causal connection in this world. What we need to do now is to bring them back to their original origin." Du Chen sighed, and now he has no thoughts at all.

"What about the sentence in the middle?" Ye Xuan couldn't understand.

"Use Dao Chong, or not, Yuan Xi is like the origin of all things. This sentence comes from the Tao Te Ching, and it is troublesome to explain in detail." Du Chen thought for a while and said, "To make a metaphor, it is like a container. This The container is the Tao, but no matter how you fill it with water, it will never be filled, and it will eventually converge into an abyss. Because the Tao is humble, it can accommodate all rivers, become the ancestor of all things, and it is just like the void. Wait..."

As DU dust said, he remembered that the old Taoist had been telling him to go back again, which is the mountain where Zijue hid herbal medicine.

"Zi Jue, Zi Wu, it's only a few minutes to go back here, you two hurry back to the temple, my eldest sister and I have something to do." Du Chen gave Ye Xuan a look.

Although Ye Xuan didn't understand what Du Chen was going to do, she coaxed Zijue and Ziwu to go back.

"Come back to the mountain with me again. I'm afraid the third token is there. Maybe the things that solve all the mysteries are also there."

DU dust took a deep breath, starting from entering the yin world, this grotesque world made DU dust lost in it.But what the old Taoist said just now gave DU Chen a little clarity.
