Chapter 1059: Becoming a Taoist Priest Again

Grandmaster Dai Zhen was sitting on the grass beside the forest, with a dozen disciples kneeling in front of him.

"Taoist priests can see further than ordinary people, which is a good thing and a bad thing. Seeing further can make preparations in advance and take a greater advantage when things happen, but it is also easy to lose confidence - since everything is doomed, Why resist, why hesitate? You believe in me, and I believe in the Patriarch. I thought that no one can change the future. The Patriarch will eventually destroy everything and create a new world among the ruins."

"I surrendered, without hesitation, even a little proud, because not all Taoist priests can be appreciated by the ancestors. I became an accomplice, violated my previous oath, slaughtered innocent mortals, and seized even more innocent babies. I wanted to use them Refining the Living Pill has killed many Taoist priests, and even the demon clan’s methods are not so cruel.”

One disciple couldn't help but said: "You are not alone..."

Dai Zhen smiled and shook his head, "I am not forced to do these things. The other two grandmasters and I do it voluntarily. This is the scary thing about 'vision'. We run towards the set goal, thinking that what is under our feet is The only way."

Dai Zhen put away his smile and his expression became gloomy, "What have we become? Where are the Taoist priests? Where is the Taoist fire? We are so 'far-sighted' that we don't distinguish between right and wrong, beauty and ugliness, even My awakening also depends on 'foresight'. Taoist priest Qin Lingshuang may never be the opponent of the ancestor, but her existence means that there are still accidents and coincidences in the world, which means that the ancestor does not cover the sky with one hand, and there are things happening that he cannot control. Therefore, even if there is only a slight chance that the Patriarch will fail, it means that I have led you to the wrong path before. This path is easier, but it is a big mistake. "

The disciples were silent. They had never seen a master who had submitted to the Rimang realm be so self-reproaching.

"That's it. When I chose to betray my ancestor, I still didn't hesitate. I became a villain." Dai Zhen was silent for a while. "I owe you an explanation. This is my explanation. I will not forgive myself." , and neither will the Patriarch. He will send people to punish me for my betrayal, and will also eliminate the weak possibility that has just appeared. Taoist Qin will not be able to escape... Hehe, I am making the old mistake again, always thinking that I can see the future.

Dai Zhen put his hands on the ground like an ordinary person and stood up slowly, "Leave and do what you want to do. Don't trust any high-level Taoist priests anymore. That is no longer an advantage, but a blind obedience. Have a good attitude toward this world." Have some hope, its future is not destined, and neither is your future. Leave Nanhailin immediately."

The disciples also stood up, but no one moved. The master's words made them uneasy. They didn't particularly understand, but they knew that once they left Nanhai Forest, they would be just like those homeless Taoist priests, pitiful and panic-stricken like bereft dogs. , he may die at the hands of casual cultivators or monsters at any time.

"Idiot, what are you doing here? Are you waiting to die?" Dai Zhen lost his temper and summoned the magic sword and the bronze seal. "I don't need your help, and you can't help me. Just go further, you are a coward." Hide, find a way to defeat the Patriarch if you're brave, join him if you're shameless, it's that simple, do you still want me to teach you?"

The disciples were scared and flew away one by one. Dai Zhen put away his angry face, still holding the sword and seal in his hand, chanting sutras in a low voice to calm himself down, and then changed to another sutra to inspire more. Mana and fighting spirit.

The founder's people didn't come, and a disciple flew back. Dai Zhen was furious. Just as he was about to say something, the disciple fell far away and gave him the Taoist gift, "I have made a choice and voluntarily stayed with him. Grandmaster fights the enemy side by side. If you say the future is not determined, then we may not die here. "

"Hey." Dai Zhen sneered, "Okay, you stay."

The disciple flew over, stood beside the master, and summoned his own magic weapon.

"How did Taoist priests face death in the past?" Dai Zhen asked.

"Huh?" The disciple didn't understand.

"I will soon forget all my former orthodoxy."

Dai Zhen lived hundreds of years longer than his disciple, and his realm was much higher. Of course, he would not forget the past. The disciple was stunned for a while, and replied: "The Taoist priests in the past...were ready to face death at any time." , From the moment the inner elixir was formed, the Taoist priest has made up his mind to be calm, not only to face death calmly, but also to face everything calmly. "

"Well, you said it very well. Even if the Taoist priests in the past did not have the heart of a Taoist priest, even if they were only in the realm of inhalation, they were more determined than the current Taoist priests of Fu Rimang. It was a beautiful era, and the Taoist priests who died at that time All very lucky.”

The disciple thought for a while, "Everyone was like this at that time, so it was easier to face it calmly. It is more difficult to do this now, but... it is more real. It is not affected by other Taoist priests. It is all your own choice."

Dai Zhen turned around and looked at his disciple in surprise, "It's a pity that you die here with me... No, why do I always say death? The future is the future. As long as it doesn't happen, there is a possibility of change. That's right, we won't If you die, you will fight all the way to the Patriarch and ask him...don't ask anything, just kill him."

A very long bolt of lightning flashed across the distant sky, but no thunder came.

"I can't wait. Which Taoist priest will the Patriarch send to punish me as a traitor? It should be a Grand Master." Dai Zhen sent out seven rays of light one after another and went to fight from a distance, "What's your name?"

"Yang Jiu, correct Jiu."

"Strange name, a descendant of the Taoist Yang family?"

"No, I am from Dongjie country."

"How many years have you been a disciple of Wandi Mountain?"

"One hundred and forty-eight years." Yang Jiu's spells could not be sent too far, so he cast a ban next to the Grandmaster. After a while, he became bolder and asked, "Will Taoist Qin not join the battle?"

"She has her own ideas." Dai Zhen felt that he should not be perfunctory at this time, and added, "Taoist Qin is treating those Yuanyings. When she feels it is necessary, she will come out to join the battle, but not to save us, but for us to buy time for her."

The power of these bans is not strong. Dai Zhen did not stop Yang Jiu, and also summoned a large number of magic tools to strengthen his bans.

Lightning flashed one after another in the distance, getting closer and closer. Dai Zhen sneered, "The ancestor is really open to all, even the giant monster has been won over."

"Giant monster?"

"That's not lightning, it's a giant monster called Qianzu Wang, it's said to be a centipede monster. I fought with him three hundred years ago. He hasn't appeared for many years. I thought he was dead, but it turned out that he was hiding to practice. Alas, my opponent is not even a master."

Yang Jiu nodded. It was not common to learn about the past from the master. "It's just right. Killing demons and eliminating monsters. No matter whether this battle is a win or a loss, we are all fulfilling our duties as Taoist priests."

Dai Zhen glanced at Yang Jiu again, "Boy, you are more suitable to be a master than me."

Yang Jiu blushed, "Grandmaster, please forgive me, I just said it casually."

"Don't take it as a casual remark, because you are right." Dai Zhen said seriously, waving the magic sword in his hand, and shot out seven balls of light again.

Qianzu Wang had killed within ten miles, and Yang Jiu stopped talking.

It was a giant centipede covered in red light. The red light in front and behind was nearly a thousand feet long, and the centipede itself was also hundreds of feet long. Its densely packed arms and legs moved like oars, and a demon army stood on its back.

"King Qianzu, have you been boiled? How did you become like this?"

The giant centipede stopped in the air, opened its mouth and swallowed seven balls of light, and said in a low and vague voice: "Master Dai Zhen of Hongshan, long time no see, there are many things you can't imagine."

"Nothing unexpected, you have comprehended a certain evil magic, which can gather the power of all monsters into one, the master took a fancy to you and helped you perfect the evil magic, you worked for him, and heard that Dai was going to be punished, so you volunteered, maybe that's it?"

"Haha, you are right, but now I am the master's disciple, and you are the traitor that the master designated to get rid of. Who is good and who is evil?"

"Good and evil are not important. Being able to get rid of you, a giant monster, is the master's reward to me."

"Stay where you are." Dai Zhen spoke and cast a spell at the same time. After giving orders to his disciples, he disappeared. He actually cast the teleportation technique when facing a powerful enemy.

The next moment, Dai Zhen appeared above King Qianzu, flying along his back, dancing with a magic sword, killing a large number of monster soldiers.

Dai Zhen guessed that the power of the Thousand-footed King came from the demon army on its back, so he killed the small demons first and then the big demons. This trick was indeed correct. The Thousand-footed King roared, the red light became stronger, and he shook his body violently. Dozens of new heads suddenly appeared on his back, spewing red light from his mouth, surrounding the enemy in the middle.

Dai Zhen only used the copper seal to protect himself, and the magic sword was still used to eliminate the demons. Seeing that he was about to be swallowed by the red light, he rose to the sky and led the Thousand-footed King to chase him.

Yang Jiu was shocked. The master's fighting style was clearly suicide. The Taoist priest was not good at close combat. Dai Zhen rushed up to attack the enemy's strength with his own weakness. His only purpose was to temporarily lead the Thousand-footed King away.

Yang Jiu jumped up and wanted to fly over to help, but he was bounced back by an invisible wall after only a few steps. He fell into the woods and was even farther away from the Thousand-footed King.

It turned out that Dai Zhen not only strengthened his restrictions, but also set his own restrictions to prevent his disciples from following him to take risks.

But this trick was of little use. The Thousand-footed King and his demon army were led away. The army attacking Nanhailin was not limited to these. After the red light dissipated, hundreds of attackers appeared, including casual cultivators, demons, and it seemed that there were also several real Taoists.

Yang Jiu walked out of the woods, holding an iron ruler in one hand and a small copper stove in the other, chanting scriptures loudly. He was actually a little scared before. Dai Zhen's words were nothing, but his actions inspired this low-level Taoist. Facing a powerful enemy, fighting alone, he felt like a Taoist again. This was the first time since the Five Elements Disaster.

"The fire of Taoism will not go out." Yang Jiu believed that he was qualified to say these four words again.
