After returning home, Su Ting had dinner with his cousin and considered going to the temple.

This kind of thing involves a clear reputation, and it is naturally better to clarify the facts sooner rather than later.

It's just that before Su Ting went to the temple, Song Lao's disciple Qingping had already come to visit, saying that Song Lao was invited.

"Okay, I'm looking for him. ”

Su Ting didn't refuse, changed his clothes, explained to his cousin, and left with Qingping.

And along the way, Qing Ping was expressionless, but his eyes looked over from time to time.

Today's Su Ting seems to be different from the past.

Although Qingping was silent, he was quite shocked in his heart.

Su Ting didn't seem to be aware, and only glanced back occasionally, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but he didn't explain.

Ever since he received a wisp of nourishment from the Venerable Yin God, he has always been in good spirits, and then he has snake gall bladder to nourish and his body to replenish his body.

These two items alone make his mental outlook no longer comparable to the past.

And now he is even more successful in cultivation, his true qi is in his body, from the inside out, he is no longer Su Ting half a month ago.

Not only that, Su Ting has an extraordinary opportunity, his true qi is getting deeper and deeper, and his eyesight has also become sharp, he can already see that Qingping is also a cultivator, but his path is deep and shallow, and he can only be regarded as barely getting started, and the heat is still two points shallower than himself.

His own Taoism is higher, and Qingping is lower than his own body, so Qingping can't see his own reality at all, and he can only perceive that he is different from before.

But Qingping is obviously a character who can save words, but he has no intention of asking, just leading the way in front, occasionally glancing at Su Ting.

Along the way, enter the temple, pass through the wall, come to the courtyard, and enter the main hall.

Su Ting bowed to the statue to pay homage to the grace of the Five Elements Armor, and then followed Qingping to the door of the quiet room.

"Elder Matsu is waiting for you inside. ”

Qingping stopped and nodded slightly.

Su Ting bowed his hand slightly and said with a smile: "Thank you." ”

Qingping answered and stood at the door.

Su Ting pushed open the door, entered the inside, turned around and closed the door, only then turned around and bowed forward.

In front of him was a futon, and on the futon, there was an old man, sitting cross-legged, his eyes closed, breathing slowly, as if he was practicing.

This old man full of mystery is none other than Song Lao.

"Coming?"

Song Lao opened his eyes and his gaze fell on Su Ting.

In an instant, the cloudy eyes suddenly condensed, as if there was surprise.

But in an instant, the look of surprise was all restricted.

Song Lao said lightly: "Your breath is completely different from half a moon ago, the heat is ethereal, slightly domineering, I'm afraid you're starting to set foot on the threshold of cultivation?"

Su Ting was shocked in his heart, but he didn't expect that Song Lao would actually break through the mystery in one word, and he was suddenly convinced, and said: "Song Lao is really as wise as a torch." ”

Elder Song waved his hand, and said, "I have long heard that among the Five Elements Armor, there are also mysteries hidden in it, but now it seems that it is a practice of cultivation?"

Su Ting didn't think that Song Lao would break the mystery with a word, so he couldn't help but be silent for a moment, then nodded, did not hide it, and replied, "Exactly." ”

Elder Song lowered his eyelids and was silent.

Su Ting hesitated for a moment and said: "The exercises are originally owned by the temple, and Elder Song is kind to Su Ting, if you want to take it back, Su Ting will never dare to go against it." ”

Elder Song opened his eyes, shook his head and said, "The Five Elements Armor belongs to you, and the opportunity is yours, as for the exercises, ......"

His expression was complicated, he lowered his head slightly, and said: "The path taken by the old man is completely different from yours, unless you start all over again, otherwise, even if there is an immortal exercise in front of you, you will not be able to cultivate." ”

How easy is it to let go of decades of accumulation, make everything empty, and start all over again?

What's more, at the age of Elder Song, how many days can he have to cultivate from scratch?

Song Lao's tone was complicated, and Su Ting was also infected by him, so he couldn't help but be silent.

After a while, the old man slowly exhaled, seemed to want to open up a little, beckoned, and said, "I came to you this time, and I wanted to accept you to get started, teach you the method of cultivation, and lead you to this path." But right now, since you have comprehended the exercises and can practice on your own, it is difficult for the old man to give guidance, so that's it. ”

When Su Ting left the temple before, Song Lao told him to go back to the temple, and at that time he had vaguely understood what Song Lao meant. ”

Song Lao nodded with satisfaction, sighed a little, and said: "You and I have different paths, and there are not many things I can pass on to you." But in the future, if you have any problems in your cultivation, you can come to me, and the old man will definitely try his best to solve your doubts. ”

As he spoke, he beckoned again and said, "I have a book here, which records some common sense of people in the Tao, and I borrow you for half a month, you can read it a little to avoid encountering people in the same way in the future, and there is any rudeness." ”

Su Ting stepped forward and took it with both hands, only to see that the book was slightly dilapidated, obviously some years, most of them were classics used for inheritance, no wonder Song Lao was such an atmospheric figure, and he was only borrowed, not gifted.

"Thank you, Elder Song. Su Ting was sincere and bowed.

"Okay, you have a good life to practice, and you will go farther in the future. Song Lao didn't care and nodded slightly.

"Yes. Su Ting replied.

At this time, Song Lao seemed to think of something, and looked at him deeply, and there was a bit of deep meaning in his eyes.

After a pause, I heard Song Lao warn: "In the red dust, it can be sharpened, but it will also blind the heart, so there is a saying that it is beyond the world." ”

"Many cultivators are originally people outside the world, pure and undisturbed, but they have to enter the world in order to investigate all things and be truly born. ”

"And you have been born in the world since childhood, but you are sick in bed, and you rarely see the outside world, just like people outside the world, and you can still control it now, but since you are already walking in the outside world, it is like entering the world. ”

Song Lao said in a deep voice: "This is everything, the hustle and bustle of the red dust, all kinds of sinister, all kinds of temptations, you must have some size weighing in your heart." ”

Su Ting's heart froze, and he nodded: "The junior understands. ”

Seeing that he looked serious, not perfunctory, but also satisfied, Elder Song nodded and said: "No matter what happens to you, you must understand, everything must be prioritized, you need to know, and cultivation is important." ”

As he spoke, Song Lao's tone changed slightly, and he was serious and serious, and said: "Looking at the world, no matter what it is, it can't compare to a cultivator and immortal. ”

Su Ting Zhengse said: "The juniors understand. ”

"It's good to understand. ”

Song Lao nodded with satisfaction, paused, remembered something, and said, "I heard that you have been mixed up with a rich boy recently?"

When Su Ting heard this, he said, "Thank you Elder Song for your concern, this is indeed the case." ”

Song Lao said calmly: "The heart of guarding against people is indispensable. ”

Su Ting's expression was solemn and he nodded slightly.

Elder Song waved his hand and said, "Since you have cultivated on your own, then go back." ”

Su Ting remembered the matter, was busy with a salute, and said, "Elder Song, the juniors still have something to ask for." ”

Elder Song asked, "What's the matter?"

Su Ting said: "It's my sister's business. ”

When Song Lao heard this, he immediately frowned and said, "Hasn't her body healed yet?"

Su Ting Shili said: "With the blessing of the Torre God Tianzun, my sister's body is gradually recovering, but this time, the younger generation has something else. ”

Song Lao raised his eyebrows, slightly surprised.

Su Ting said seriously: "My sister was killed by Gu Dao people before, but fortunately, Song Lao rescued her and killed the evil ones with thunder and heavenly might, but because of this, outsiders knew about it. Now, the people around have rumored that their sister is infected with evil spirits, which will inevitably damage their reputation. ”

When Song Lao heard this, he knew what he was trying to do, and asked, "Then how do you want the old man to behave?"

Su Ting listened to his tone and realized that this matter was not difficult, so he immediately smiled and said: "The magic of our temple is famous far and wide, and Song Lao is here, like the thunder god in the world, about this little thing, just Song Lao needs to make a sound." ”

Song Lao groaned, "What's the sound?"

"The younger generation heard a story, saying that there was a good person who practiced in the tenth life, and in the last life, he became a monk, as long as he ate his meat, he could live forever, attracting demons and monsters to come, and in the end, there were three people with great powers to support him all the way. ”

Su Ting said Journey to the West, but there is no source in this world, so it is difficult to say clearly, so it is deduced that he heard a story.

"Where did the story come from?" Song Lao frowned and said, "If you eat this person's flesh, you can live forever?"

"It doesn't matter where the story comes from. Su Ting coughed and said, "The things in this story, which are true and false, are not easy for the younger generations to talk about." However, this time, my sister can also follow this kind of statement. ”

Song Lao groaned, "How do you say it?"

Su Ting smiled and said: "Song Lao said to the outside world, I said that my sister is pure and kind-hearted, she is a good person who has practiced in the third life, and she has good fortune and good results, so she has attracted the covetousness of demons and evils. ”

When Song Lao heard this, his eyebrows furrowed, he looked at Su Ting, and said in a deep voice: "Do you want the old man to lie?"

Su Ting shook his head suddenly, and said righteously: "My sister has always been kind-hearted, and she is recognized as kind-hearted, and she is so beautiful, that is the blessing accumulated in her previous life." ”

"Such as my sister, in this life and this life, people are beautiful and kind-hearted, if it is not the blessing of the third life, how can there be such beauty, how can there be such a good heart?"

"She and I have depended on each other, and now that I have set foot on this path, the future is limitless, and she will no longer suffer, and the future will not be comparable to ordinary people...... If it weren't for the blessings of several lifetimes, how could it be there?"

Su Ting did his best to keep fooling.

Even at Song Lao's age and experience, he couldn't help but start pondering.

In the end, Su Ting didn't know if Song Lao believed his nonsense.

But at least after looking at him for a long time, Song Lao still agreed.

"Thank you for being old. ”

Su Ting exhaled.

It's just that Song Lao's eyes are full of care makes him feel tired.
