"Little friend, come with me, Bao Santong, you entertain several guests. The old man said, and then staggered towards the stage.

Wenxiang The eyes of several people fell on Su Tang, Su Tang hesitated slightly, got up and walked towards the steps, the situation is stronger than people, he can't refuse, what's more, the old man should have no malicious intentions, otherwise he will do it directly, why talk about such nonsense.

The old man was in front, Su Tang was behind, slowly walked forward, walked hundreds of meters away, and the old man turned into a hole.

Inside is a stone room, the area is not large, more than 20 square meters, the old man sat on a futon, pointed to the opposite side, and said, "Sit." ”

In Su Tang's eyes, every time those rays swept over the old man, his appearance, including the clothes on his body, would change, sometimes becoming a childish teenager, sometimes becoming a steady and elegant middle-aged man, sometimes his appearance was gradually aging, and sometimes he was getting younger and younger.

It seems that the time and space in this cave are very unstable, and the river of time will keep jumping to various nodes, one moment it is still flowing forward, and the next moment it is rewinding back, but he is not affected in any way.

Su Tang didn't know if this was his hallucination or what, but with the mentality that he would be at peace when he came, he turned a blind eye to all changes, and the aura here was extremely rich, far more than Yunshuize, Yixian Gorge and other places of experience, he should have practiced here immediately, but unfortunately, it was not the time.

"Who is your master?" the old man asked softly.

"I don't have a Master. Su Tang replied.

"This path of cultivation is too difficult to walk alone. The old man smiled and said, "It's not easy for you to have what you have achieved today. ”

In terms of appearance, the old man's smile was ugly and terrifying, but Su Tang felt a sense of warmth.

"You can come to Mangshan, and it is also fate. The old man said: "There is fate that means cause and effect, and the most important thing in the old man's life is the word cause and effect." ”

Su Tang didn't know what to say, and listened silently.

"Actually, without a Master, sometimes it's a good thing. The old man said.

"With Master's guidance, I can avoid some detours. Su Tang was a little unimpressed.

"Huh...... What is a detour?" The old man smiled and said: "If you go through some more ups and downs and tribulations, it is a detour? If this is the case, why should the disciples of each sect come out to practice? Everything in the world has two sides, yin and yang, and you only see the benefits, but you do not see the disadvantages." ”

"You always mean ......"

"Thousands of years ago, most of the cultivation world was passed down from master to apprentice, but as there are more and more cultivators, the cultivation world becomes more and more prosperous, and many things have changed. The old man said: "Look at the current three heavenly gates, the power of the Natural Sect, the demon gods of the Demon God Altar, and the holy seats of the Holy Gate, all of which are the top roles of some cultivation families, and the inheritance of master and apprentice has long been replaced by the family. ”

"I don't quite understand something. Su Tang said: "I have a friend who worships under the Demon God Altar and the Ancestor of the Sakura." ”

"That's because the Luo Yingzu family you said is thin and has no one to pass on. The old man said: "For example, you became a great ancestor one day, and you also accepted more than a dozen apprentices, and you have a unique spiritual recipe that allows you to dominate the world, will you pass on your spiritual recipe to all the apprentices?"

"No, I'll choose the best. Su Tang replied.

"One day, you suddenly find that the apprentice you have chosen is doing something that annoys you behind your back, or your apprentice is getting more and more prestigious, and his strength is getting stronger and stronger, and he is even going to surpass you, and you are in danger of being squeezed out of the core, will you still teach him?" the old man said.

This question is not easy to answer, Su Tang smiled wryly.

"But, have you ever seen a father who is worried that his child is better than the blue?" The old man said: "More blood ties, will make the relationship stronger, trust is deeper, fathers, will wholeheartedly cultivate their children, as children, will naturally treat their relatives well, the teacher has heard a lot, dare to kill the father...... There really aren't many. ”

"Don't you think it's useless to talk to me about this?" the old man's words changed suddenly.

"It's not ......," Su Tang replied hesitantly, the old man's eyes were very poisonous, and he seemed to be able to see what he was thinking.

"Whether it's useful or not, the key depends on what you think. The old man smiled: "At least, the old man has reminded you that the current casual cultivation is a minority, most of them have a family background, and offending one is equivalent to offending a group, so every time you have a conflict with someone, you must make some preparations, or, if you don't have the strength to let them destroy the family, don't mess with right and wrong." ”

"The strength of the family has reached a peak up to now, even the three heavenly gates have long been divided by the major families, they will never allow the phenomenon of a dominant family, there are demonic warriors in the front, and Helan Empty Phase in the back, they are all bloody lessons丨" The old man continued: "A long time ago, there were often conflicts in the cultivation world, and it was not until the scale of the conflict reached a certain level that they would know that the Dao was restrained, practiced and cultivated, and only when they had a life could they practice, and both sides would lose and not benefit anyone. In the past few hundred years, it seems that everyone has become a good person, and the three heavenly gates each occupy one side, and it seems that the relationship is harmonious, but in fact, the situation is even more dangerous. ”

"Why do you say that?" asked Su Tang puzzled.

"If the son is mourned, the father is crazy, and when the father dies, the son is sad, once the major families start to fight, it will be a never-ending situation. The old man said, "Can you stop a father from avenging his child? Or can you make a child forget the warmth that his father once brought him? A spark can start a prairie fire, and what is lacking now is that little fire." ”

Su Tang suddenly remembered the hidden ancestor of the Natural Sect, the news came back, the Natural Sect should have reacted, right? The conspiracy of the Demon Gu Sect finally succeeded.

"There will be a great chaos in this cultivation world. The old man sighed: "I am old, although I no longer have the courage of my youth, but when it is the right time, I should always do something, little friend, guess what, an old guy like me who is dying and can't get out of the middle of the road, what is his favorite thing to do?"

"Bring the juniors?" Su Tang guessed wildly, this was the second time he heard someone say that there would be chaos, the first time was Dragon Banner, at that time he felt half-convinced, and now, he heard a similar prediction again.

"It's a little bit of a stretch, but it's still a lot off. The old man smiled and said, "It's a bet." ”

"Bet on the treasure?" Su Tang was stunned, he could feel that the old man seemed to be talking about him Su Tang.

"When I woke up from sleep this morning, I suddenly felt a throbbing, and the old man immediately deduced from the number of gods and saw you. The old man said slowly: "The old man has studied God for hundreds of years, but this life is ...... It has never been as smooth as it is today, thousands of causes and effects are in the process of deduction, hehe...... The return of the demon star to the south is the time when the chaos arises.

"Demon Star, who is the Demon Star?" asked Su Tang.

"Don't divulge the chances of heaven, and you will know them over time. The old man shook his head, and then smiled: "There is a killing star in the east, and a demon star in the south, and this evil star is entangled with the variable star, alas...... I really want to live a few more years, to see what this cultivation world can be tossed intoss into, and whether the outer heavens will still be indifferent to it as before that day, but it's a pity...... I can't see that moment anymore. ”

If he could, Su Tang would really like to smash a few punches in the old man's face, or don't say it, just say it clearly, so that it is the most uncomfortable to be half-incomprehensible.

"The spiritual veins of Mangshan have long been exhausted, and it is no longer a place for training, Xiaoyou deliberately came to Mangshan this time, it should have a plan, right?" The old man changed the subject.

Su Tang was a little helpless, he couldn't explain why Wen Xiang and Tong Fei would follow, he pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Don't hide it from you, it's really ......."

"What are you looking for?" asked the old man.

"My friend wants to find the Purple Thunder Hammer, what about me...... Looking for the Bow of Extreme Ice. Su Tang simply let go, love is as it is.

"The Purple Thunder Hammer and the Bow of Extreme Ice are indeed among our clan. The old man thought for a while: "However, the two spiritual weapons belong to the Bao and Bai families respectively, I can't force them to endure the pain and cut their love, Xiaoyou, you still have to figure out your own way, but there is one thing you have to promise the old man, don't hurt people here"

"This ......" Su Tang couldn't believe it, just like they went somewhere to steal something and were discovered by the master, but the master just warned them that they must be outwitted and not robbed forcibly, how weird he thought.

"I'm already here, so let's stay a few more days. The old man said, "Otherwise, you will have a great calamity, although the last will be fine, but there will be no benefit, more than one thing is better than less." ”

"The Great Calamity?"

"Huh...... I will know it later. The old man said

This is the case again, Su Tang frowned.

"From here, go down from the mountain, there is a spiritual spring, which is the forbidden place of my bereaved family, and the old man can call the shots and let you enter the spiritual spring. The old man said: "Practicing in the spiritual spring is extremely beneficial, and it will definitely not lose to Napeng Mountain, the Green Sea and the Great Guangming Lake." ”

"Didn't you just say that the spiritual veins of Mangshan Mountain have been exhausted, how can there be a spiritual spring?" Su Tang suddenly remembered.

"The spiritual veins of Mangshan have indeed dried up, and the spiritual spring belongs to my bereaved clan, and it has nothing to do with Mangshan. The old man said: "What's more, this is also the agreement between the old man and Helan Kongxiang back then, the old man will not go out, and their disciples will not want to come in." ”

Su Tang was taken aback in his heart, he originally thought that the old man was a defeated subordinate of Helan Kongxiang back then, but now listening to his tone, it seems that his status is equal to that of Helan Kongxiang

Su Tang said goodbye and left, the old man was still sitting on the futon, and after a while, the middle-aged man walked in and said in a low voice: "Great Elder, do you really think it's him?"

"It can only be him. The old man nodded lightly: "This chaos is all over the world, and my bereaved family may not be able to be left alone, let him admit a little more love today, and you will be able to have more protection in the future." ”
