Shushan.

The old white-haired Taoist walked towards his desired destination under the leadership of the man.

Unexpectedly, the man led the way not towards the top of the mountain, but towards the valley on one side. After leading the way for a while, the man said aloud: "Okay, the elder is in the valley.

"

The valley is filled with white mist, making it appear leisurely.

Because of his status, this man was not qualified to step into it. It can be said that this valley is a forbidden area in Shushan. Under normal circumstances, no one else can enter it.

"..."

After nodding to the man, the Taoist stepped inside.

After passing through the white mist, the place suddenly became empty.

It was as if the inside and outside of the white mist were a completely different world.

Qimen Formation.

Looking up at the sky, after waiting for a long time, the Taoist sighed: "If you don't stay in Guigu, come here..." After shaking his head and sighing, the Taoist continued to walk forward.

Not far ahead is a thatched hut. At this moment, green smoke is lingering, and the people inside are obviously cooking.

And not far in front of the Taoist, there is a stone platform.

Engraved on the stone platform is a chessboard.

The Taoist walked up to the chessboard and his eyes fell on the chessboard. There was an endgame on it. After gently wiping the fingers of his right hand on the chessboard, he felt the sensation coming from his fingertips, and he knew that the chessboard was

It was newly made not long ago.

His eyes stayed on this endgame for a long time, and then the Taoist took out a chess piece from the side and placed it among them.

Suddenly.

The chess game has changed.

The chess game that was originally weakened by the black chess piece was slightly more energetic with the white piece from the Taoist, and it seemed that the chess game had a little more determination to resist in the middle game of the tribulation.

It's just that this scene did not make the white-haired Taoist feel happy and satisfied. Instead, his face became a little solemn at this moment.

"Can you untie it?"

Just when the white-haired Taoist was silent, a slightly older voice suddenly sounded beside him. At some point, a bald, white-haired old man appeared next to the Taoist, staring at the chess game.

He asked aloud. At the same time, the bald old man also picked up a black piece from the side and dropped it. Suddenly, the white piece finally became a little angry and was suppressed again. In fact, the situation of the white piece became more and more serious.

becomes dangerous.

"It's hard."

The white piece in his hand was fixed on the top of the chessboard and could not fall down for a long time. After a long while, the white-haired Taoist sighed helplessly, put down the chess piece in his hand, and said to himself: "It's a dead end. There is no way out."

"What kind of situation is this?"

In his words, the white-haired Taoist had made the final comment on Bai Zi's ending.

"Zhenlong."

The bald old man beside him also took up the white-haired Taoist's words and said with emotion: "I have been thinking about it for thirty years and working on it for three years. But I still haven't found the best solution. It seems to be a dead end.

, rather than the endgame.”

"However, Bei Mingzi, the previous head of the Taoist Tianzong, has been searching for me for thousands of miles. Isn't it because he wants to play chess with me?"

After reaching out and taking out the white piece that the white-haired Taoist had dropped before and the black piece that he had dropped, the bald old man asked.

"Originally, I was planning to play chess. But after watching this chess game, I don't think so anymore."

Looking back, Bei Mingzi's eyes stopped on the bald old man and said with a smile: "Besides, senior is not an ordinary person. Didn't the arrogant people who disrupted the world come from your disciple, Senior Guigu?"

The bald old man shook his head and laughed when he heard this. He said: "But I am already old..."

"But this junior remembers that when I saw you decades ago, senior, you already looked very old." Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Bei Mingzi. There was no politeness in his words. He spoke directly.

The biggest flaw in the other party's words was revealed.

"The reason is unclear..."

"Did the senior's certificate come out?"

"..."

The brief exchange of words each represented the thoughts of both parties. Seeing the other party pondering, Bei Mingzi continued: "Whether it will be unified or not has been a foregone conclusion for so many years, senior, can you still not see it?"

"hehe."

Hearing this, the bald old man couldn't help but laugh. He met Bei Mingzi's gaze and said pointedly: "If Taoism is different, there will be no mutual conspiracy. I'm not talking about it. Isn't this the case for your Taoist sect?"

The Taoist sect split into two sects, Heaven and Human, plus a Yin-Yang family.

In a way, this is bigger than the rivalry between Guigu Zongheng.

For a moment, the two old men became quiet together.

In the valley, only gusts of breeze blow continuously.

for a long time.

The bald old man patted the fallen leaves on the stone bench, sat down on it, and then said: "Tell me, why did you give up teaching your disciples and travel all the way to find me?"

After sitting down opposite the bald old man, Bei Mingzi met his gaze and replied: "It's nothing, I just want to ask, are there really immortals in this world?"

Feixian immortality?

Hearing this, the bald old man finally understood Bei Mingzi's purpose. He tilted his head and fixed his gaze on the blue robe of the other party for a long time before he said: "You mean what happened in Yan Kingdom Ji?"

Will everyone soar like a rosy cloud?"

Although Shushan is relatively remote compared to the Central Plains, it does not mean that it is inaccessible to worldly affairs.

The bald old man certainly knew that rumor that had spread almost throughout the world.

Facing the bald old man's gaze, Bei Mingzi did not avoid it at all.

After a long time, the bald old man replied: "Without mentioning Taoist classics, what is immortality in your understanding?" Facing the bald old man's question, Bei Mingzi quickly gave his own answer, a one-sided and personal answer.

answer.

But this answer just made the bald old man smile and said: "That's just old age." This seemed to mean something.

When the other party asked this question, the bald old man understood the meaning of Bei Mingzi's question. Without asking other people, he only heard that he was immortal. Obviously, his old appearance gave the other party a great guess.

However, the bald old man also gave his own answer: old age will never die.

That's all.

"What is true immortality? In my opinion, it is immortality that cuts off the shackles of time." The bald old man finally gave his own thoughts, facing Bei Mingzi's eyes, and said with great seriousness: "

You Taoists have people like this..."

"As for the immortality of old age...didn't your Tianzong's elixir recipe already explain the answer?"

Danfang!

There were too many stories in these words. Hearing this, Bei Mingzi's face also darkened. He did not intend to delve into the story, but silently reached into his arms and took out a roll of something.

He took it out and placed it on the stone table in front of him. It was the Taoist Tianzong's alchemy recipe.

This elixir has a name, it’s called the Prescription of Longevity.

The legendary elixir of immortality refined with ingredients from mythical beasts.

This is the real purpose of Bei Mingzi coming to Shushan.

After glancing at the scroll, the bald old man withdrew his gaze. It seemed that this elixir, which in Taoism could be called the treasure of the sect, was nothing and not worth mentioning. It was not in his eyes at all. Instead, he was bald.

The old man's eyes were fixed on Bei Mingzi and asked: "Do you want me to keep this elixir for the Taoist family?"

"Ugh!"

Nodding, Bei Mingzi said: "After the Yan Kingdom is destroyed, it is no longer safe for this thing to stay in Taoism." The reason why he made such a decision was because Bei Mingzi saw far enough.

Hearing this, the bald old man's eyes became serious. His eyes stayed on Bei Mingzi's face for a long time, and then he sighed: "It seems that I have underestimated the ability of Taoist secret treasures. It seems that different human sects

Xiaoyaozi. You, Bei Mingzi, have finally become a lot stronger and discovered something."

"The titles of the two heads of the heavenly and human sects of your generation are actually separated. They only represent one person."

Not Beimingzi, not Xiaoyaozi. But Xiaoyao Beiming.

The two are combined into one.

Bei Mingzi did not refute the words of the bald old man, which also means why he suddenly passed the position of head of Tianzong to Chisongzi decades ago, and now he has accepted another disciple. But the other person is still

He didn't understand it clearly. He was still competing with Tianzong for the position of the main sect of Taoism.

This is a matter of vision between the two.

Regarding the other party's words, Bei Mingzi remained quiet without any rebuttal.

Obviously.
