"Do you know where he is now?"
It was obvious that he heard the meaning of Zhao Guizhen's words, and Pei Wende's face suddenly changed, revealing a look of surprise.
Because he never expected that his impulsive behavior would have such unexpected gains.
"This guy……"
Zhao Guizhen did not immediately answer Pei Wende's question. He also blinked in surprise, as if he had seen something incredible.
"You actually let him sneak into the Taoist sect?"
Hearing the sound of the string and knowing its elegant meaning, and hearing Zhao Guizhen's words, Pei Wende immediately knew that his guess was indeed correct, and Xuan Jue's reincarnation had indeed become a Taoist disciple.
"Where is he now?"
However, in the face of Pei Wende's question, Zhao Guizhen, who withdrew his gaze, just smiled faintly.
"Of course I know where Xuan Jue is."
"However, it's not that simple if you want to know his whereabouts."
Zhao Guizhen, who did not hide his attitude at all, looked at Pei Wende with a smile on his face, as if he was looking at his incompetent and disobedient junior.
Since he was relieved of the burden of being a national teacher, Zhao Guizhen's mentality seems to have returned to that of his youth.
Traveling around the world freely and freely...
At that time, Zhao Guizhen was definitely the most "willful" existence in the world.
There were no gods, Buddhas, demons, evil dragons, etc. that Zhao Guizhen did not dare to offend.
If Zen Master Lingyou hadn't forced his way into Zhongnan Mountain, which almost cut off the incense of Fulu Dao, Zhao Guizhen would not have been ordered to rush back to Chang'an in the face of danger.
Nowadays, Zen Master Lingyou has retired to seclusion, and most of the powerful men of the older generation are also dead.
It was rare for Zhao Guizhen to meet a "strong" junior like Pei Wende, so naturally he would not let him go so easily.
"Your senior brother ran away immediately when he discovered Linglong's existence."
"Although he is not as good as your senior brother, he is indeed a better candidate."
Instinctively, he realized something was wrong, because Pei Wende suddenly discovered that the development of things seemed to be different from what he imagined.
Pei Wende originally thought that Zhao Guizhen was angry because of his reckless behavior.
But now it seems that this old guy has been waiting for someone to discover the existence of the "Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart".
"What do you want to do?"
Taking half a step back again, when Pei Wende asked this question, he was already ready to run away like Hui Ji.
After experiencing the Chang'an incident, Pei Wende actually no longer had much hostility towards Zhao Guizhen.
Or to be more precise, Zhao Guizhen has never shown any hostility towards senior brothers Pei Wende and Hui Ji. Instead, he is more like their elders.
Even in the final battle between Huiji and Zhao Guizhen, the conflict of ideas was far greater than the personal grudges.
So under these premise, the current feeling of Zhao Guizhen to Pei Wende is actually somewhat similar to that of his master, Zen Master Lingyou.
At the same time, Pei Wende finally understood why his senior brother chose to run away without hesitation after realizing Linglong's true nature.
Because for this kind of elders who have no malicious intent but are full of bad taste, as the juniors, hiding away is always the first option.
"As you think, Linglong is indeed my backup."
"I once thought that in order to help the Tang Dynasty return to its peak a hundred years ago, the power of Qin Tianshu was indispensable."
Sighing slightly, Zhao Guizhen's tone at this moment was full of regret.
"It's a pity that God's calculations are not as good as those of humans. I didn't have the ability to completely reproduce Qin Tian's book, and the waves of the times killed me on the beach."
"Now that I am no longer the Imperial Master of the Tang Dynasty, this 'Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart' naturally has no use."
"I originally wanted to give it to your senior brother for safekeeping..."
"However, he has already cultivated the 'Leakless Golden Body' and possesses more omniscient power than the 'Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart', so he doesn't look down on my little gadget at all."
When he said this, Zhao Guizhen's voice paused briefly.
"If we leave this 'Seven Orifices Exquisite Heart' alone, this uncontrolled power will be a disaster after all."
"But if you want me to destroy this 'Seven Orifices Exquisite Heart' with my own hands, I can't do it."
The Qiqiao Linglong Heart is Linglong's heart, and Linglong is the shadow cultivated by Zhao Guizhen himself, an existence equivalent to his offspring.
Although Zhao Guizhen was free and easy by nature, he was not so free and easy that he could kill his own child with his own hands.
Faced with the dilemma of choice, Pei Wende's sudden appearance allowed him to see a third possibility.
"If you are willing to take care of the child Linglong for me, I will tell you the specific whereabouts of Xuan Jue."
It has to be said that the condition proposed by Zhao Guizhen not only shocked Pei Wende, but also Xiao Qing stared at him in stunned silence.
Use "taking care of Linglong" in exchange for "Xuan Jue's whereabouts".
This seems like a burden, but in fact it is a gift from Zhao Guizhen.
After all, Linglong is not a real child, but Zhao Guizhen's shadow, a shadow spirit with "Seven Orifices and Exquisite Heart".
To put it bluntly, if the "Seven Orifices Exquisite Heart" is really as magical as Qin Tianshu and Luo Jie Tong, it is not certain who will take care of whom!
"Is this true?"
Thinking of this, even Pei Wende couldn't help but feel excited.
Carrying a "universal search engine" with him, Pei Wende felt that even if he didn't master the art of all leaks in the future, there wouldn't be many things that could be hidden from him in the world.
On the contrary, herding one sheep is also herding, and herding two sheep is also herding.
With Xiaoqing as a precedent, what would happen if we raise another Linglong?
The only thing that Pei Wende is not sure about is how long the "care" in Zhao Guizhen's words means.
ten years? century? Or take care of him until he dies?
With the special characteristics of the Linglong Immortality Seed, Pei Wende had no doubt whether it could survive him to death.
"a man of his words!"
Without a moment's hesitation, Zhao Guizhen said in a heroic tone that was completely inconsistent with his Taoist priest temperament.
"I, Zhao Guizhen, have never broken my promise so far."
At this point, Pei Wende, who already knew Zhao Guizhen's life, had no doubts.
If it weren't for keeping his promise, the young Zhao Guizhen would not have given up everything and risked the world to return to Chang'an and single-handedly assist Tang Wuzong in ascending to power.
Even in the later period when Emperor Wuzong of the Tang Dynasty was bewitched by demons and no longer believed Zhao Guizhen's advice, and insisted on seeking a way to immortality, Zhao Guizhen never broke his promise.
Pei Wende's last remaining doubt was one thing: is there really such a good thing in this world?
He and Zhao Guizhen had only met twice, and they were still hostile at the beginning. Why did the other party trust him so much?
[There must be something fishy in this. 】
