At least for a few seconds, the surroundings were filled with deathly silence. Zhi'an knelt down on the angular bricks with a bang and shouted loudly.
"Ancestor! Disciple Zhi'an kowtows to you!"
Ancestor?
What the hell is this?
Hearing what Zhi'an meant, the man in the forest in front of him was by no means an ordinary person.
The man in the forest looked up at the moon outside the window and said, "We don't have much time. Let's keep the story short."
"You don't understand what I'm doing at all, and I don't blame you for making things like this."
As he spoke, the man in the forest pointed his finger at me: "But you have done something wrong, and you should not let outsiders interfere."
Everyone looked at me, and I immediately felt like a thousand arrows had pierced my heart.
Until now, I have contributed the most and I am also the most confused.
Now that the finger is pointed at me, I don’t know how to respond.
Zhi'an quickly stood up and said in a low voice: "Ancestor! All the mistakes you made are my fault!"
"You must never embarrass him."
The people in the forest suddenly burst into laughter: "I thought I would be able to live in this world for hundreds of years and still not bully a young person."
"I'm only telling you one thing, it's not me you should kneel to."
After saying that, he pointed his finger at Le'an: "Kneel him."
Zhi'an handed over his hands in confusion: "This disciple is stupid and really can't understand the mystery."
"He is the reincarnation of your master! Do you think you should kneel down?"
There was deathly silence again.
In just a few sentences, the amount of information was so huge that I thought my ears were filled with smoke.
"Let him go out. I have a few words to tell you."
Zhi'an and I looked at each other and strode out.
Standing at the door with the cold wind blowing, the more I thought about it, the more angry I became. After all the hard work, I became a sinner in the end?
In turn, I comforted myself, the matter has come to this, so what can I do?
I waited for two hours. The night wind made me stiff all over, and then the temple door slowly opened a gap.
Zhi'an stuck his head out and waved his hand towards me: "Come in."
When I went in and took a look, Zhi'an was the only one left in the room, and the people in the forest and Le'an seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.
I looked around and asked, "Where are they?"
"It's time for Grandmaster, Le'an is going to see him off on his last journey."
Zhi'an's tone was full of decadence, and he was absent-minded when he spoke to me.
After a long silence, Zhi'an broke the silence first: "Don't have any psychological burden, I don't blame you for this."
"In other words, it's no one's fault, it's just that I was destined to take this step."
"How to say?"
Zhi'an sat dejectedly among the rubble and said leisurely: "The reason why the founder didn't tell the truth was to protect Le'an. Le'an was deceived and only knew to do as he was told."
"As for me, I just lost my head because of Le'an's situation. And you just accompanied me to be stupid."
I don’t know if he was trying to excuse me, but it really made me feel better when he said that.
Zhi'an spoke again: "You have been busy for so long, you have the right to know the truth."
"No, no, no." I waved my hand quickly: "That's your master's business, I'm not qualified to listen to it."
"I said yes!" Zhi'an's mood suddenly became violent: "I am the leader! At least I still am!"
After that, Zhi'an slowly told the whole story, not caring whether I was listening or not.
He said that Baiyun Palace received heaven's grace and had a total of 1,200 years of luck. When the luck is exhausted, this Taoist temple will no longer exist.
So someone has to step up and figure it out.
This person is the Chongming I saw just now.
According to the clan, Chongming is the second head of Baiyun Palace. It was the founder of the mountain who entrusted him with this important task and asked him to find a way to stay in the world.
In fact, at that time, Chongming already had a semi-immortal body, and it was only a matter of time before he ascended.
But since the burden of pursuing his own affairs in his position falls on him, he cannot leave the job alone.
How to stay in the human world has become a particularly big problem.
If you practice Taoism diligently, you will soar in the sky. If you simply die, you will end up like ordinary people and become a handful of ashes after death.
It was also during the most anxious days that the old leader suddenly passed away, and Chongming officially took over as the preparatory leader.
When the two heads handed over, the old head handed over everything, including the bamboo slips buried in the woodshed.
The bamboo slips are originally the power of heaven and earth. They cannot be used unless absolutely necessary.
