He looked very comfortable. This was Shen Yu's first feeling about him. In the long years, Shen Yu only remembered that the old master from the academy had this kind of temperament.
The man smiled and waved gently to him.
Shen Yu recalled some words that Dao Fan once said. After determining his location, he took another look at the surrounding environment.
Then he nodded with satisfaction.
Shen Yu walked along the path among the flowers. When passing by the pond, a swimming koi hurriedly sank into the water.
...
"My name is Su Mo."
The voice was crisp and steady. Shen Yu had just arrived in front of the man when he heard him say his name.
Shen Yu looked at the other party and said: "I didn't expect it to be true. It seems that the rumors of the disciples at the foot of the mountain are not false."
There is no cultivation.
No one would have thought that the leader of the second generation disciples of the Dao Sect, the master of Yuansheng Temple, and the only disciple of the head of the Dao Sect, actually had no cultivation at all.
Just an ordinary scholar.
Rumor has it that after the headmaster brought him back to the Dao Sect in the past, he had never read any cultivation classics, let alone tried Qi-sensing cultivation. Instead, he held books in his hands, obsessed with reading, all day long.
If he were in the academy of Tang Dynasty in Zhongzhou, he would definitely be extremely popular, but being in the Taoist sect and being the eldest brother of the Taoist sect, he did not practice Taoism but liked reading, but it was a bit too deviant.
What's strange is that the head of the house didn't care about it at all, and even some elders from other halls came to admonish him several times, but he turned them away.
Therefore, the first of the second-generation disciples, Senior Brother Daozong, has been up the mountain for so long and still has no cultivation.
Su Mo smiled at Shen Yu and said, "Practice is a very troublesome thing. I'm afraid of trouble, and the master doesn't have any arrangements, so I just do what I like on weekdays."
Shen Yu said calmly: "It's good to be able to do what you like while you are alive."
Su Mo glanced at the rising sun and praised sincerely: "Uncle Dao Fan said it was your first time to go up the mountain today. I didn't expect you to come up in just half an hour. It's really amazing."
Shen Yu said: "The spirit carp in the deep pool, the maze in the forest, and the ancient Taoist temple are a bit simpler."
Su Mo looked at the young man and said, "There is still another test, but you have passed it."
Shen Yu was a little surprised, thought for a moment and said, "You?"
Su Mo nodded and said: "Master said that I am always very accurate in judging people. People who don't even like me will definitely be thrown off the mountain."
Shen Yu sighed: "This peak really takes over the destiny of heaven and earth. Not only are there spiritual beings, but there are also people who are destined by heaven and earth."
Su Mo pointed to the sky and said with a smile: "Master is still in retreat now. Junior brother, you will live here in the future. I have occasionally heard some things about you. I think this place should be suitable for you."
Shen Yu didn't say anything, he just cared about what Su Mo just said...
"Little junior brother."
A very interesting title.
...
Shen Yu stayed on Feilai Peak where the Yuan Temple was located.
It's quiet and peaceful here,
Shen Yu found a courtyard as his residence. During the day, he would feed the spirit carp by the pond. At night, he would lie on the grass on the top of the mountain and look up at the stars.
Although the room in the courtyard is not big, it has a bed, a table, and some bottles and cans. It is much better than the cave at the bottom of the mountain.
Su Mo usually held a book and read. When he was not studying, he loosened the soil and watered some flowers and plants in the bamboo forest. The two of them didn't talk much every day, but they were very relaxed and comfortable.
Of course, Shen Yu would also water some flowers and plants in front of the courtyard when he was bored. Several times when Su Mo saw him, he hesitated to speak.
On this night, the sky was full of stars.
Shen Yu lay on the grass, silently watching the light streaking through the sky.
Su Mo walked up to him and said, "Junior brother, do you have a lot on your mind?"
Shen Yu said: "The main reason why I came here is to ask the leader some questions."
Su Mo asked curiously: "Why do you want to ask the master?"
Shen Yu said: "The higher a person stands, the further away he can see, and the leader stands very high."
Su Mo smiled and said: "It seems that the question you want to ask is very big."
"Yes, very big."
Shen Yu sighed and said: "I have been here for a long time, and the world has changed too much. This feeling of knowing nothing makes me very bad. But in addition to some big problems, there are also some small ones.
question."
Su Mo said confidently: "I have traveled to some places and met some people and things. I also know a little about the mountains and outside. Maybe I can answer some of your little questions."
Shen Yu put his hands behind his head, closed his eyes and said, "On the top of Fenbaoya Mountain, someone tried to kill me."
Su Mo looked calm. After glancing at him slightly, he began to think.
Shen Yu continued: "That day, he said that there were too many geniuses in the Taoist sect, which affected their future, so I don't understand this little problem."
Su Mo said: "Yang Kaitai, the elder who taught the martial arts at Zuowang Peak, disappeared a few days ago. Chief Zhang said he went out on a trip."
Shen Yu nodded and said calmly: "I killed him, then threw him off the cliff, and naturally disappeared."
...
Shen Yu didn't hide it at all and directly told the story about the murder.
However, Su Mo looked calm from beginning to end, as if he didn't care.
"The most powerful practitioner in this continent is the master." Su Mo suddenly said.
Shen Yu looked at it, somewhat confused as to what he meant.
Su Mo continued: "Master has lived for a long time, ascended to the peak of the realm, and if he takes a step further, he will step into the immortal realm, or... return to the dust."
The mountain breeze blew, bringing a bit of chill.
Shen Yu raised his head, with some shock in his eyes. All the small details gradually connected into a line, and many puzzling things were finally solved.
The leader whose cultivation has reached the pinnacle of the world will eventually leave one day, and this day is very close.
This has caused those people to start planning and deliberately do some things that are difficult to understand.
Thinking of this, Shen Yu asked: "Do these people care so much about the position of head of the Dao Sect?"
Su Mo shook his head and said seriously: "I don't know either."
Shen Yu looked at the darkness in the distance calmly, and said with a smile: "You have no cultivation, and there are no new disciples in the leader's line. Therefore, these people thought of using this method to cut off the Yuansheng Temple."
inheritance, because they are afraid that a few years or decades later, a person with outstanding talents will grow up in Yuan Temple and become an obstacle for them to ascend to that position."
The young man sighed and said, "It's really boring to see monsters, conspiracies, and tricks that are not on the table."
Su Mo said with a smile: "But what disappoints those people is that you are still here, little junior brother."
Shen Yu glanced at him. How could a person who was destined by heaven and earth really have no cultivation? With the intelligence shown in front of him, he could guess the context of the whole matter with just a few hidden clues.
Such people, those people actually ignored them.
Su Mo stood with his hands behind his hands and suddenly asked: "Junior brother, if this kind of problem is a small problem, then what is the big problem in your eyes?" This chapter has been completed!
