The viewer was very interested, "You haven't been practicing for a long time and your Tao practice is shallow. How can you talk about Tao? What Tao do you want to talk about?"
Chen Si lowered his head and thought for a moment.
The villagers said that the viewer loves talking to outsiders. He must quickly think of a topic that interests him. If he can make a conversation, there is still a chance of survival. If he says the wrong thing... it will be difficult to get out of here!
After a while, Chen Si made up his mind.
The topic that all immortal cultivators are interested in is immortality!
So, Chen Si said word by word: "I want to discuss the way to immortality!"
There was silence for a long time behind the curtain, and suddenly there was a burst of laughter. This laughter was a mixture of several sounds, and the echo in the cave was extremely unpleasant.
The other Taoist priests didn't understand why the temple master was laughing, but they were all ready to take down the intruder as soon as the temple master gave him an order.
Only Peng Qian still stood there dumbly.
Before she could wrap her mind around it, this seemingly harmless young man was actually a cultivator? He even stayed overnight at his own house, but he didn't even notice!
This guy hides so well!
A full four or five minutes passed before the laughter finally stopped.
The master of the temple said: "You are not very capable, but your tone is not small. Please tell me, what is the path to immortality?"
Chen Si solemnly replied: "Mortals who cultivate immortality are all aiming for immortality. But as the monk just said, life and death have their own cause and effect. The Tao is natural and follows the path. But why do mortals want to go against heaven?"
The master of the temple said: "It is human's instinct to avoid death, and it is the same for all things. If you are not a free person who has seen through the Tao and Dharma, how many people can avoid being greedy for life?"
Although he didn't say this, Chen Si looked disapproving.
I recalled the throbbing in my heart when I saw that giant eye in the depths of the ghost cave.
It seems that the awe of the existence underground is engraved in the genes. It seems that the body is involuntarily trying to get closer to Him, and the whole person is tempted by that fatal attraction.
He revealed a conjecture that had been hidden in his heart for a long time.
"Perhaps our desire for immortality is not an innate instinct, but just... we just want to become a kind of immortal existence that is completely different from human beings. Our ancestors were as early as the birth of I have witnessed that existence, and my supreme awe and yearning have been deeply ingrained into my genes and passed on to our descendants."
"Your statement is quite novel."
The viewer put aside the thought of contempt and felt something in his heart. He seemed to have remembered something and asked in a deep voice: "So, have you seen that existence?"
Chen Si knew what the temple master was asking. Only after seeing that kind of existence would he have such shocking thoughts.
"Yes, I once went deep into a cave and saw the ultimate of all living things there. I came to visit this time because I wanted to ask the visitor, what is that creature? Why do humans fall into this trap because of it? Crazy, why is He imprisoned underground?"
After a few more breaths of silence, the viewer let out a long sigh.
"I understand, you are from Nan Yunlian... You have been blessing the land and water for more than two hundred years. After all, I can't escape the cause and effect, and the karma still comes... It's time for me to leave. Are you looking for southern lotus flowers in the south?”
The other disciples were shocked after hearing this and hurriedly knelt down to dissuade him.
Xu Ming even kneeled forward, kowtowed three times, and said with tears streaming down his face: "No, Master, the Three Immortals Temple cannot do without you! As long as there are people to sacrifice, you don't have to worry about longevity. At worst, I will choose a few more people next month." Come here. Please think twice. If you really want to go to find the Southern Lotus, Master, you will never come back!"
The owner of the temple was also extremely hesitant and didn't say anything for a long time.
Chen Si still didn't understand what was happening, but he could feel the viewer's eyes staring at him intently. The current situation was definitely not good!
He looked around, secretly observing his retreat.
After a long time, the master spoke again, and his words were quite vague, "Logically speaking, I have lived for more than two hundred years, which is enough. I should not be greedy for longevity, but I really can't worry about you incompetent disciples." As well as the villagers watching outside... But now that the karma has appeared, there are some things that must be done, and there is nothing we can do."
All the Taoist priests lowered their heads one after another, feeling that the pillar supporting the sky had collapsed, and it felt like the sky was falling apart.
Only Xu Ming understood the meaning of these words. He narrowed his eyes and asked cautiously: "How dare you ask Master, if your karma will no longer appear in front of you, so you don't have to look for the southern lotus?"
The viewer remained silent.
The others all reacted, and a glimmer of light reignited in their eyes.
Xu Ming added: "My disciple has improved his divination skills these days. Yesterday, I accidentally calculated that the person who came to visit this time has no life and is about to die. It seems that he will not have much longevity. In my opinion, it is better to let them go. If a person encounters a misfortune outside, it is better to stay in the cave and die peacefully as a human being or animal and reenter the six realms of reincarnation. What do you think, Master?"
The master of the temple did not say much and answered the question: "Ming'er's divination skills have indeed made great progress."
Chen Si was the first to react, picked up Li Chen and ran away.
"Come on, these bull-nosed Taoist priests want to eat us!"
Li Chen cursed loudly after hearing this.
"Mom, I think they are all weird looking and they are not good people. Brother Chen, you have to protect me!"
As he spoke, he twisted his fat body and ran as fast as he could. His speed was actually three points faster than Chen Si.
Chen Si raised his eyebrows. This fat man had no other abilities, but he was really good at escaping. He had underestimated him.
The entrance to the cave back was blocked by Taoist priests, making it impossible to pass through.
"Go that way!"
Chen Si pointed to a small, dark hole.
He had already checked out the escape route during the previous discussion. The hole was just big enough for one person to pass through. There was a cool breeze coming from inside, and it should be connected to the outside world.
The fat man had no other thoughts in his mind. Now he trusted Chen Si unconditionally and jumped in.
Chen Si looked at the five numb human beings standing at the entrance of the cave, one of whom was Hao Yueyue.
He struggled for a moment, gritted his teeth, mentioned Hao Yueyue before leaving, and then quickly disappeared into the darkness.
Watching them flee, the Taoist priests remained calm and stood there without moving.
Xu Ming sneered and said: "This person is also unlucky and chose a dead end. It seems that we don't need to take action. In this case, it doesn't mean that we have changed the cause and effect."
After a moment of pause, he continued: "However, I still ask all my brothers and sisters to go and investigate. If you want to see the person alive and the corpse dead, you must not let him go back.
This cave is extremely complex, and the Three Immortals Temple only occupies a small part of it, so we'd better move separately.
Fortunately, that kid is not very good, so any of the brothers present can deal with him at will, so there is no need to worry about being hurt by him. "
After saying that, Xu Ming turned around and saluted his master, saying respectfully: "Master, do you think this arrangement is reasonable?"
The viewer just stretched out his arm and waved it, and said calmly: "You can do whatever you want. If he dies, this is his fate. This matter has nothing to do with me.
Things are not related to cause and effect, and the Tao is smooth. "
