Chapter 920: The heart is as hard as a stone

It was already very late at night, and a young Taoist priest came out of the tavern, looking around at the door, looking a little nervous, but fortunately, the residents of the imperial capital had fallen asleep, and the street was very quiet, otherwise, they would have been accustomed to seeing the cold arrogance of the Taoist priest, and they would definitely feel that this young Taoist priest was unqualified.

The young Taoist priest walked slowly to the entrance of the street, his eyes never leaving Zuo Liuying, who was standing there.

Zuo Liuying lost to the ancestor in the daytime battle as everyone expected, and after that, not many people continued to pay attention to him, and the entire Imperial Kyoto was talking about the battle and the person named Mu Xingqiu three days later, starting with shaking his head and ending with laughter.

Zuo Liuying has been standing still, and everyone doesn't think it's strange, just that he is depressed after the defeat.

The young Taoist priest stopped when he walked more than ten steps in front of Zuo Liuying, he could only see the lower half of the face, and after waiting for a while, the brim of the hat slowly lifted, and he saw the whole face, which was as handsome as a flower in the moonlight, but the gaze penetrated people's hearts, smearing a layer of frost on the flowers.

Very few people can remain calm in front of Zuo Liuying, and the young Taoist priest can't, he trembled slightly, as if he was about to jump up, and then respectfully gave the Taoist salute, his posture was slightly stiff, as if he had just learned it for a short time, "Pang Shan disciple Shen Cunyi greets...... Meet the Left ...... Predecessor. ”

Zuo Liuying has withdrawn from the Taoist system, the first seat, Taoist priest, Taoist friends are not suitable for these titles, many people don't care about this kind of trivial matter, Shen Cunyi is a sincere person, always feel that the title must have practical significance, think for a long time, called out the word "senior", and his face turned red as soon as the words came out, because Zuo Liuying on the opposite side looked younger than him.

Shen Cunyi looks very much like his father Shen Xiuming, even if he becomes a real Taoist priest, his face is full of nervousness that he is worried that he will not work hard enough and will not be recognized by others.

Mu Xingqiu would miss such a look, but Zuo Liuying didn't care, his eyes were cold, and he didn't squeak.

"My father is Shen Xiuming. In the past, he was also a disciple of Pang Shan, but he did not have Ning Dan, and later he planted flowers for Pang Shan......"

"I know your father. Zuo Liuying finally spoke, her voice seemed to come from the void, empty and ethereal, and the tone and emotion that she should have were deprived cleanly.

Shen Cunyi was taken aback, and finally saw that something was wrong, "Is the senior injured?"

Zuo Liuying slowly shook his head.

Shen Cunyi's face turned even redder, "I'm sorry, my Neidan has only reached the sixth level of inhalation." I can't see anything......"

"Is there something to do with me?" Zuo Liuying asked directly.

"I ...... I came to ask my seniors for advice. Shen Cunyi whispered, seeing that Zuo Liuying had no intention of refusing, he mustered up the courage to continue, "I feel that my cultivation has come to an end, and it is a waste of time to practice again, I think...... I wanted to go home, but they said that I was experiencing homesickness, and if I could let go of my parents' affection, my cultivation would rise a lot. I can't make up my mind. I've always wanted to ask for advice from practitioners outside the Taoist system, but ...... I'm sorry, I'm too verbose, please forgive me. ”

"Do you want to quit Daotong?" Zuo Liuying took a step forward.

A hint of panic flashed across Shen Cunyi's face. His Taoist heart can be regarded as a mess, biting his lip and thinking for a while, "Yes, I have thought about quitting the Taoist system." Both the seniors and Uncle Mu Xingqiu have withdrawn from the Taoist system, and I think I can too. Shen Cunyi glanced back at the Dao Tong Tower in the air, "I originally planned to withdraw when the Dao Tong returned and the war with the demons was over." After all, it is the duty of a Taoist priest to slay demons and eliminate demons, and I can't retreat. But now that I have the Patriarch, the demons are vulnerable, and it seems that I can't be used anymore, but on the other hand, since the Patriarch was born, everyone's cultivation has become easier, and I feel that it is too hasty to quit the Dao system now......"

In order to clarify his inner contradictions, Shen Cunyi was indeed a little verbose, Zuo Liuying listened quietly, occasionally taking a step, and when Shen Cunyi finally finished speaking, the two were only three steps away.

Even for ordinary people, if they are not particularly familiar, this distance seems a little too close, and Shen Cunyi stood still and did not move, completely because of respect for the other party. When Zuo Liuying raised his right hand and pressed it on his shoulder, Shen Cunyi instinctively made a dodge action, and for the Taoist priest, any contact seemed too dangerous.

But he couldn't dodge, Zuo Liuying's palm pressed down firmly, Shen Cunyi leaned slightly to the left, barely stood firmly, and an embarrassing smile appeared on his face, "Father always tells me about Senior Zuo and Uncle Mu Xingqiu, and I have always been your ...... Senior, what's wrong with you?"

Zuo Liuying's arm was trembling slightly, but he didn't admit that he was injured, and Shen Cunyi suddenly came to his senses: "The seniors are still fighting with the ancestors!"

Zuo Liuying's battle with Kun Zhen is not over, he lost the first battle during the day, and most of his memories have been revealed to Kun Zhen, just when everyone changed the focus of discussion from Zuo Liuying to Mu Xingqiu, the two started the second battle, because there is still a small memory in Zuo Liuying's mind that has not been taken away.

This memory hides the plan he and Mu Xingqiu made together, and all kinds of signs show that this plan is closely related to how to find the demon soul, so Kun Chao must get it.

This is a silent fighting method, the competition is not the strength of mana, but the illusion skills, so even some of the high-strength loose cultivators did not see it, only a very small number of Taoist priests who served the moon knew the existence of this fighting method, and no one publicized it at will, and low-level Taoist priests like Shen Cunyi knew nothing about it.

Zuo Liuying came prepared, he sealed this important memory, blessed with fifty-five spells, and with just a little touch, he could completely destroy the memory, even if it would damage other memories at the same time.

Zuo Liuying's will has been fully conveyed to Kun Zhen.

The thirty-eighth generation patriarch of the Dao Tong was sitting in the small room on the eighth floor of the Dao Tong Tower at the moment, casting one exquisite spell after another, these spell soldiers were divided into two ways, one was used to contain Zuo Liuying, so that he could not destroy his memory, and the other was driven straight into his mind, approaching that important memory, carefully dismantling the fifty-five blessing spells wrapped outside, not daring to use a little more mana.

The fighting method has lasted for at least five hours, and Zuo Liuying's mana has been contained, this is no longer a move, but a purely passive response, he is a puppet in Kun Zhen's hand, he is manipulated, and he plays a game of mutual combat with Kun Zhen's other hand.

Zuo Liuying was like fighting a multi-armed monster in the wild sand, occasionally cutting off one or two arms, but he never saw the monster's body, and he couldn't even tell which direction it was, there were arms everywhere, and there were attacks everywhere.

He desperately needed a solid foothold in order to gain a firm foothold, and at this moment, Shen Cunyi came, and a small Taoist priest who breathed six times walked into the battlefield in full swing without knowing it.

"He can't control the entire Dao system. Zuo Liuying said.

"What? Who is controlling the Dao system?" Shen Cunyi was inexplicable, and he regretted coming to Zuo Liuying for advice, but it was difficult for him to find someone in the Dao system who could discuss this issue, and when he talked about quitting the Dao system, he would only attract surprised and vigilant eyes.

"Even if there is monstrous water, it can only flow with the trend, there are several streams of flowing water in the lake with several exits, and if there are too many of them, it will lead to a burst of the embankment, hurting others and hurting oneself, mana is the lake, and spell is the exit. ”

"Senior...... What the hell are you talking about? I ...... Or I'll come back in a few days. Shen Cunyi was really nervous, and finally realized how bad the time was, and he strayed into a place he didn't understand.

Zuo Liuying's voice was still empty and lifeless, this was because he didn't have much strength to speak, and the few steps he had just taken were already very difficult, "Dao Tong pays attention to going with the flow, even Grandmaster Pang Shan can't force you to make a decision. If you find it difficult, you don't have to quit the Dao. If you are homesick, then go home, and if you are tired of practicing, then stop practicing. You can make your own choice and change your mind later. ”

"Really?" Shen Cunyi's eyes lit up, he knew the principle of "going with the flow", but how to use this principle, how to do it without violating the precepts of the Dao system, no one had ever taught him.

"All you have to do is be steadfast. Zuo Liuying said that he had never taught another person so seriously, "It is natural for the heart to be strong into stone, and the Taoist system can only conform to it, and cannot refuse, and this is how the hermit temporarily withdrew from the Taoist system." Make your decision. ”

"Now?"

"Even now, the state of mind has been moved, if you don't move forward bravely, where will your heart become a stone?"

Shen Cunyi realized, thought seriously for a while, and finally said firmly: "I want to go home, I must go home." ”

Zuo Liuying nodded, withdrew his arm, the brim of his hat hung slightly, and he entered a pure fighting state again.

He finally launched a counterattack, not with a spell, but with a spell that would eventually affect it.

Shen Cunyi turned around and ran towards the tavern, which was the entrance of the Daotong Tower, he felt as light as a swallow, and all kinds of hesitations in his heart disappeared completely, he didn't know if the state at this time was considered "heart as solid as stone", but he really didn't need any opinions anymore.

At the door of the tavern, Shen Cunyi raised his head and shouted loudly: "I am Shen Cunyi, a disciple of Pang Shan, I want to go home, I will leave now, please tell Grandmaster Pang Shan for me, he has gone out and will be back soon, but I don't want to wait any longer." ”

There was no Taoist answer, Shen Cunyi didn't care, his heart was horizontal, and he shouted out another thing that had been depressed for a long time, Zuo Liuying was right, a thought has been moved, rather than letting it disturb his mood, it is better to break it directly.

"Zhang Xiang'er, I like you! Although you don't want to get in touch with me or go home with me, I still like you. That's it, I don't want anything more, goodbye!"

Shen Cunyi felt a wave of heat gushing out from every pore of his body, he suddenly knew what it was like to have a "heart as hard as a stone", in his more than 20 years of life, only at this moment, he didn't care about anyone's opinion, whether Zhang Xiang'er's arrogance or the ridicule of other Taoist priests, it couldn't affect his current state of mind.

"Thank you, Senior Zuo, you are as powerful as my father said. Shen Cunyi summoned the magic sword and rose into the sky and flew out of the city.

Zuo Liuying also silently said thank you in his heart, there was a small loophole in Kunchao's omnipresent offensive, and Zuo Liuying still had no chance of winning, but he was able to open up a small position for Mu Xingqiu.
