Two blushes appeared on Bai Lotus's dark face. He felt a little hot, but his body seemed to become more agile, and his whole body seemed to be full of strength.
Although Huang He said before leaving that he was clumsy and could only do simple tasks, of course that was just Huang He's polite words, and he was definitely not stupid.
"Thank you so much for this senior sister." He quickly saluted Yan Yan, and then said: "When I came over there just now, my senior uncle was still there. He walked very slowly and would not go anywhere else."
Wang Li and others looked at each other in shock.
Of course they felt that this Taoist boy would not talk nonsense, but they did not sense the existence of other people in this Taoist temple at this time.
"Take us to see it."
Wan Yehe was the timid one. He subconsciously doubted whether he would see a ghost during the day. He felt guilty and let Bai Ou lead the way.
"Okay, brothers and sisters, come with me."
Bai Lotus obeyed the advice and immediately led the way.
He now has endless strength in his body and feels like he can jump up to the eaves of the Taoist temple with one step.
Wang Li and others followed him and just walked around a few Taoist temples along the stone steps before their bodies froze completely.
On a bluestone terrace, a disheveled old Taoist wearing dirty Taoist robes was pulling on the terrace with a wooden stick in both hands.
There were several piles of incense ash on the terrace, which seemed to have absorbed enough moisture from the mountains. Now they looked like lumps of gray flour.
The old Taoist had his back to them, and his face could not be seen, but it was certain that the old Taoist was already very old, his body was thin, and he was a little rickety.
The Taoist robe he was wearing was a very ordinary cotton Taoist robe. It was so greasy that it turned black and the original color could not be seen.
He used a wooden stick to pick and pull the piles of incense ash, just like slowly wiping the surface with the head of the stick, smearing the sticky ash on the ground. Judging from his extremely slow movements, it would take a long time to spread out the piles of incense ash.
Spend most of the day.
This must be a real Taoist, but what shocked them all was that the moment they saw this Taoist, this Taoist clearly appeared in their perception, including the aura in this Taoist's body.
But what horrified them all at the same time was that in their perception, this old Taoist was extremely old, his flesh and blood had dried up, and there seemed to be no true essence, golden elixir, or Nascent Soul in his body. In their perception, he was clearly
An ordinary person is not a practitioner at all.
But this veteran must be extraordinary, because before they saw this veteran, they couldn't even feel any movement on the terrace, or even hear any sound of his activities.
But now, the veteran's energy clearly appeared in their perception, and they heard the veteran's heavy footsteps and the sound of his stick rubbing against the ground.
"senior…."
Yan Yan was so shocked that she subconsciously said something and saluted.
She just felt that this was a realm she had never been exposed to before.
In other words, this veteran possesses some amazing secret technique that she has never seen before.
Except for Bai Lotus, the black-headed Taoist boy, Wang Li and others couldn't help but feel chills in their hearts. Everyone felt that there was a very strange qi surrounding this old Taoist.
However, after Yan Yan spoke up, the old Taoist still turned his back to them and carefully pulled the incense ashes, without any reaction at all.
"Senior Brother Wang, Uncle Sui's ears are not very good. He is a little hard of hearing, so he has to get close and shout loudly to be effective." At this moment, Bai Lotus said.
"Hearing?"
Wang Li and others looked at this Taoist boy and felt that he was simply ignorant and fearless.
"real."
Bai Lotus saw that Wang Li and others had strange expressions, as if they didn't believe it, so he jumped behind Lao Dao with a single stride, and then shouted loudly behind him: "Follow me, uncle!"
The old Taoist shrugged his shoulders slightly and turned around slowly.
Wang Li and others' breathing stopped subconsciously.
What caught their eyes was an old man with wrinkles on his face.
This old Taoist really looked like an ordinary man in his dying years. The wrinkles on his face were as deep as the cracks on the bark of pine trees. His pupils were dim and yellow. When he turned around, he seemed to have dim eyesight. He saw many people behind Bai Lotus.
But he couldn't see clearly and blinked hard.
"Is this possible at this age?" Wan Yehe was furious.
He felt that the older he got, the more he had presbyopia. He should be able to see clearly in the distance, but now the old man seemed to be unable to see clearly both far and near. He felt that this was just an act.
"Who are they?" The veteran looked hard for a moment, seemed to finally see something clearly, and then asked a little dullly.
"Uncle Sui, they are from Xuantian Sect. From now on, our place will be under the control of Xuantian Sect." Bai Ou nodded at Wang Li and said, "This is Senior Brother Wang Li. Senior Brother Wang and his family are very good people."
Okay, I came here specifically to see you."
"Xuan Tian... Xuantian Sect?" The old Taoist used the wooden stick in his hand as a crutch. He looked confused. It seemed that he really couldn't remember which sect Xuantian Sect was. He hesitated for five minutes.
After six breaths, he uttered one word blankly, "Oh."
"Senior Brother Wang."
At this time, the medicinal energy in Bai Lotus's body was flowing. He felt more and more that Wang Li and others were good people. He was not as nervous as before. He stuck out his tongue embarrassedly, nodded his head again, and said: "Follow the teacher."
My uncle is too old, so it is a bit difficult to use here, but he is not annoying to others. Although he does not do much work, he will do his own work regularly. "
"You are working but your brain is not working well?"
Wan Yehe rolled his eyes and almost fainted.
"Senior..." Yan Yan couldn't believe it. She bowed seriously to the veteran again, but she didn't know how to speak.
But this veteran looked at them with a confused look on his face and said nothing.
"Okay, Uncle Master, you can dry out your incense ashes. We won't bother Senior Brother Wang and the others. They are busy." Bai Lotus is a truly ignorant person who is fearless. He does not find this old Taoist scary at all. On the contrary, he is
I shouted these words into his ear.
"Oh." The old man nodded slowly, turned around, and slowly picked up the ashes of his incense.
"...!"
Wang Li and others were completely speechless.
At this time, there was only one thought constantly popping up in their minds.
The Three Saints' golden edict asked them to rush to Mount Baitou as soon as possible and give Mount Baitou to Wang Li as a fief. Could it be because the Three Saints knew that there was such a weird old Taoist in this Taoist temple.
Who is this old man?
Monks always have inexplicable awe when facing unknown things. At this time, Wang Li and others looked at the old Taoist and really didn't dare to move.
He Lingxiu's brows furrowed deeply. She couldn't see any abnormality in her talent. She asked Bai Ou: "Junior Brother Bai, do you call me Senior Uncle? Since he is so old, why do you only call him Uncle?"
?”
"Because Uncle Sui couldn't remember his name. When anyone asked him, he would say "Uncle Sui", so people in the temple also called him "Uncle Sui". He seemed to like others to call him "Uncle Sui."
Bai Ou explained.
He Lingxiu took a deep breath.
She looked at the old Taoist not far away in front of her who seemed to be unable to hear their conversation at all. She hesitated slightly, and then asked, "Then Taoist disciple Huang said that Uncle Sui is not a monk from Wutong Temple. Do you think so?"
Do you know where he came from?"
At this time, Bai Lotus no longer felt that his body was hot, but he couldn't stop sweating. He wiped the sweat and said: "No one in the temple knows the origin of Uncle Sui, because Uncle Sui
When I came here twenty years ago, I was already so mature."
After Bai Lotus said these words, he smiled bitterly again, nodded his steaming head, and said: "When I came here with my uncle, it was already not very convenient. I asked him and he didn't know anything. What happened to him?"
There is nothing except this Taoist robe. I only know that the uncles and uncles in the Taoist temple want to change his Taoist robe, but he is not willing."
Zhou Yuxi couldn't help it anymore and asked softly: "Didn't the monks in your Taoist temple discover anything extraordinary about him?"
"What's extraordinary?" Bai Lotus was stunned. He looked at Zhou Yuxi without knowing why and said, "We don't know what's extraordinary about Uncle Sui. The uncles and uncles just think he is too old.
He came here after he got lost. He felt that if he wandered in the mountains, his life might be in danger, so he took him in. No one wanted him to work, so he was allowed to do what he liked, but he never did.
If you cause trouble, you can still make incense sticks and dry medicinal herbs."
"How is that possible!" Wan Yehe couldn't help but exhale softly.
But at this moment, his teeth suddenly chattered.
He thought of a possibility and said in a trembling voice: "Could it be Master Sui who doesn't act strange at all usually, but when we come here, he behaves like this in front of us?"
Bai Lotus heard his words, and looking at Wan Yehe's expression, he was also stunned and said: "Brothers, what's wrong with following my uncle?"
Yan Yan couldn't help but take a deep breath. She calmed down and said: "So Uncle Sui suddenly arrived here twenty years ago. In the past twenty years, none of the fellow Taoists in the temple thought that he was
A monk?"
"Why, is Uncle Sui still a monk or a powerful monk?" Bai Lotus reacted somewhat, but his head shook unconsciously. Apparently he was thinking in his heart, Uncle Sui is a monk, how could this be possible?
, If it hadn’t been for the care of my uncles and uncles over the years, my uncle Sui might have died of old age, right?
“…..!”
At this moment, Wang Li's breathing stopped, and his pupils shrank violently.
He did not sense any fluctuations in vitality or spiritual energy, but when he saw the ordinary wooden stick in the old Taoist's hand pressing the incense ash across the ground, some vague and wonderful textures seemed to appear on the ground. These textures were reflected in the thin incense ash.
It appeared for a moment, and then disappeared quickly like ripples.
