After I asked this question, Johnny's whole body fell into deep thought, but his hand was still unconsciously shaking the red wine glass.

The atmosphere of the whole restaurant fell into an unusually silent and tense state because of my question, including Tao Bai and Lu Shan, who have been together for so long, and they naturally said that our ultimate goal is to find our older generation, born as friends who share life and death, and they are naturally nervous.

This atmosphere lasted for nearly a minute, the most tense minute of my life, and I felt that at last I was even breathing into gasp, as if I had reached the limit mentally, before Johnny put down the glass with a 'snap'.

Then he looked at me with a twinkle in his eyes and said, "Little one, it seems that I have been away from the world for too long, and I have missed a lot of wonderful stories, and I can't answer your question in general terms now, you have to tell me what happened?" ”

"Aren't you going to contact Sister Jenny?" I was slightly relieved by what Johnny said, at least he didn't completely deny anything, and all I was worried about was Master's safety, but I wondered how Johnny could be so closed, and the source of information was not even as good as Wal-Mart.

"The circle of cultivators in India was originally a relatively closed circle of cultivators, and it can also be said to be a paradise for exiled cultivators in the world's circle of cultivators, do you know what I mean?" As Johnny spoke, he continued to eat his portion, and I was amazed at the amount of food he ate, each of which looked like a kilogram of steak, and before he knew it, he had eaten a third, mixed with many other dishes.

"Do you mean that because you are a Taoist, you can't integrate into the circle of cultivators in India, and you are unwilling to leave India, so you have caused an information blockade?" As I spoke, I took a big bite of steak and suddenly found that eating was a good way to relieve stress.

So, I also started to take a sip of red wine and a mouthful of steak.

Johnny gave me an appreciative look, not knowing if it was because of my overeating behavior or because of my answer, he munched on the steak and said, "Yes, you have analyzed a very important reason, and the other reason is that when my important people, including my lover, friends and relatives, have left me one after another, I have closed myself off and refused to contact anyone who has passed by, which will only make me sad!" Therefore, I would rather be a rotten person called Singh, live as he pleases, but I always fail to grasp the essentials, I can't catch up with the realm of your ancestors, maybe another 100 years to live, it will be far behind, he used to be "Johnny's eyes showed a look of reminiscence, I don't know if I was too old and talked too much and took the topic away.

And I couldn't rush him, so I could only wait secretly, scolding myself for asking such an inconsequential nonsense.

"Yes, he once said something like this, the ideal state of life is people, there are no taboos, and the heart is always in awe! It is very easy to understand, but it is difficult to do, in fact, it is a very deep sentence, in a philosophical tone, is to achieve a unity of opposites, which is like the Taoist gossip map, separation, reconciliation, opposite, unity, this attitude of life is too difficult and too difficult! Johnny commented on this, leaving us all stunned.

Because of this sentence of the ancestor, it also makes us think, what is the meaning that people can have no taboos, but their hearts are always in awe? It's rare not to say this, it's the grasp of this degree, to be able to do the subtle details, is it already a god?

But Johnny reacted at this time, looked at us apologetically, and said, "I talk a little too much, and when I mention this most important friend in my life, it's always like this." Okay, just said that I've been closed for a long time, I don't know a lot of news, I wonder if you, a junior, can tell me about it? ”

At this time, I also woke up from my contemplation, where do I dare to be lazy and long-winded? Immediately I briefly told me what happened after Master left, as well as our analysis and various clues after Master left, anyway, I said everything I could say.

This is not because Johnny took the initiative to talk about Penglai, and he will be the biggest guide in our confused future.

A lot has happened, so I've been talking about this for a long time, almost an hour, and I'm talking about it, and other people are adding, and I don't want to miss any detail or clue, and I'm afraid that because of this, I will change the answer that Johnny is going to give us.

Johnny didn't pay much attention at first, and ate and drank as he listened, but when he heard that, he had forgotten to eat and drink, interrupted halfway, asked the servants to remove the full table of cups, plates, and bowls, and then took us to the study, where we made a few cups of coffee, and then let us continue.

When I heard the latter, Johnny's brows also furrowed, until I talked about the experience of fleeing to India, Johnny finally waved my hand to interrupt me, took the coffee cup, stood up, and paced a few steps in the room repeatedly before sitting down again, taking a sip of coffee, and said with a solemn face: "Your master, I have met twice, and at that time Li was not missing, no, it was the so-called disappearance." Behind his disappearance, in this world, I am the only one who knows part of the truth. Let's not talk about this first, let's talk about your master first, before Li disappeared, he came to see me in secret once, he said this to me, a few disciples are long, he made him feel worried for the first time in his life, and deep helplessness. ”

Speaking of this, Johnny sighed: "Lee was really helpless at that time, as his old friend, I can feel it!" It was also the first time he had this kind of emotion! He didn't say much, but said that he already knew the tributaries of the fate of his apprentices, but he was powerless to change it, because fate did not fall on a few disciples, this is his earthly debt and sin, he said that the first time he found out, knowing too much, is also a kind of pain, can't see the future clearly, but a kind of joy. I couldn't understand him at the time, and when you talk about it now, I think back to that time, I think that Li at that time probably had already calculated that in the future, his apprentices would embark on a difficult journey to find him. ”

"What does this mean, Master, what are the consequences of them going to Penglai?" The problem finally went back to the beginning, and my heart was tense again.

"Don't worry, listen to me! Li is my closest friend, although it is close, but this does not affect my admiration for him, and his omnipotence in my eyes Li Chun and their children set foot on the road to Kunlun, even Li has no way to stop and change their fate, I am also very sorry, there is nothing I can do. Johnny said, shaking his head.

My face turned gray for I heard a bad answer from Johnny's mouth.

'Peng', the coffee cup held by Chengzhen fell out of his hand at once, the coffee spilled Chengzhen, and the quilt rolled to the side, Chengzhen didn't react for a long time, and after a few seconds, she suddenly choked.

"No, Chengzhen, you have to be calm!" Brother Chengqing stood up suddenly, pulled out a few tissues, and handed them to Cheng Zhen while hurriedly picking up the coffee cup, and he was not calm anymore.

Looking at everyone, more or less emotions have changed in excitement, only I can barely stabilize my emotions by holding on to the armrest of the sofa where Johnny is sitting, and said in a trembling voice: "Uncle Johnny, in fact, you can say it directly?" ”

"Well, in fact, before I really went incognito, there was a period of extraordinary madness, that is, I was doing a big thing with your ancestors, and I clearly knew that without my guidance, without the necessary conditions, the possibility of setting foot in Penglai was not one percent! It is a feasible way to go to Penglai, but this is only one of the conditions, and it can even be said that it is not a necessary condition, but a way to find Penglai. From the clues you said, Lichun and they have found Penglai, but after that, I can't give you any answers, the only thing that is certain is that they can't set foot on Penglai, let alone go to Kunlun, which is ethereal for me. At this, Johnny's eyes flashed with apologies.

Hearing this, I inexplicably had a feeling of heartbreak, not that I thought that the masters had finally encountered an accident, but that I was sad and heartbroken that the masters and they had finally fallen short in such a way, and then, I raised my head, but found that everyone in the room was sobbing, and all the people in Lao Li's lineage, including Brother Chengqing, were in tears.

I let out a long sigh, then suddenly stood up and said loudly, "What are you crying about?" Uncle Johnny is just sure that our master can't step on Penglai, not dead, why are you crying? Wipe away the tears and cheer up. ”

At this time, as the elder brother of Lao Li's lineage, I have to resist and cheer up everyone's emotions, despite the same torment in my heart.

"Yes, in fact, the masters don't necessarily die, I" Lu Shan, who had been silent, suddenly stood up, looking excited and wanted to say something, but I didn't say it for a long time.

I looked at Lu Shan suspiciously and asked, "Lu Shan, what do you want to say?" ”

Lu Shan's face flushed, and he took a deep breath before saying to me: "Chengyi, I'm sorry, I once said that when I was free, I would sit down and talk to you about me, but I never had such an opportunity, I went to Sikkim, India, Ruyue was injured, I will say it, but let's wait for Uncle Johnny to finish everything." ”

At this time, Johnny put down the coffee cup and said in a calm and calm tone: "Chengyi is right, the answer I can be sure of is that your master can't go to Penglai, but there are no absolutes in the world, plus this guy Lichun, although I have only met twice, but he is definitely a person with great wisdom, you don't have to be too sad." Penglai Road, you also have to go back, meet and get together maybe in the middle of this road. Even, you really don't have to be too persistent, just like my life, I have seen my loved ones leave one by one, but I am still alive, of course, because I have a commitment and mission to my friends, and I am also learning to practice my heart and learn to let go after picking up. ”

Johnny's words obviously played a great role and gave us great comfort, plus Lu Shan inexplicably jumped out and said that, everyone's mood finally calmed down a lot, and they began to calm down and continue to listen to what Johnny was going to say next.

Very important, set foot in Penglai, and really awaken the ancestor? At this time, I discovered the horror of this sentence, what is awakening the ancestor?

We all fell silent, but Johnny's expression became inexplicably heavy, and he looked at me and said, "Seiichi, in the words you said to me, there was a person who didn't appear often, but you often mentioned him, right?" ”

"You mean?" Johnny's mind was clearly too jumpy, and while we were waiting for his next step, he asked me a question inexplicably.

"A person named Yang Sheng, please tell me in detail, everything about him, this is very important." Johnny said seriously.

I was stunned, and I got involved with Yang Sheng again? He is a scientist, how can even Penglai and Kunlun, which are myths in Taoism, be involved in him? More than an hour of narration, it seems quite long, but I can't go into detail about every character, and I only mentioned a few points about Yang Sheng, but I didn't expect Johnny to be so attentive to him.

I tried hard to remember everything about this person, but I didn't want Walmart to stand up at this time and say loudly: "Oh, Yang Sheng, I finally remembered the name of this tongue twister, Chengyi, didn't I once tell you a word about the attitude of the righteous path?" Among them, a key figure of the four major forces was mentioned, and the key person who brought them changes was Yang Sheng! Yang Sheng! ”

With a 'boom', my brain went numb for some reason, and all kinds of past events flashed through my mind at once.

I didn't expect that it was he who finally forced me to go to the dueling ring, and I didn't expect that after walking up, it would be him who faced my final enemy.

I took a few deep breaths, barely calmed myself down, and said to Johnny with a self-righteous expression: "Yang Sheng, when I first met him, I was still a teenager, at that time"
