MTL - Asking About Longevity-Chapter 557 opening

Chapter 557 Beginning

 The next day, Bai Qingcheng sent Bai Zisheng and Bai Zixi to Anshan City, hundreds of miles away, north of Qingshan City.

 In Anshan City, there is a temporary residence purchased by the Bai family.

This place is far away from the mountain city, far away from disputes between right and wrong, and is protected by several golden elixirs from the Bai family, making it very safe.

"You guys stay here for the time being. After I finish handling the matter, we will return to the Bai family together. You have been away from home for so long, and my ancestor misses you very much..."

After Bai Qingcheng finished speaking, he turned around and left.

 “Mother…”

Bai Qingcheng turned around and saw two pairs of expectant and longing eyes, and she felt astringent in her heart.

 Children Zi Sheng and Zi Xi have never shown such obvious concern for anyone...

 Even including her mother...

"I see."

Bai Qingcheng said lightly.

 After saying that, she stopped looking at her two children and turned around to leave, but she was worried.

 Leaving the mountain city, the next step is the real **** storm.

Even if he had his heart, he might not be able to save the child named "Mo Hua".

What’s more, he fell into the hands of “the deceitful ones”…

 It is not that easy for a "tiger" to **** food from its mouth...

 Two days later, Bai Qingcheng arrived at a newly built monastic camp outside Lishan City.

 Outside the camp, there are second-level and even third-level formations.

 In the camp, there are Taoist soldiers from Daoting.

At the same time, all forces in Daozhou also sent powerful senior monks from their families to gather here.

 In the camp, there is a hall with a soundproof array and a divine array engraved on it to block other people's perception.

 Nine monks with strong auras sat among them, whispering and discussing.

When Bai Qingcheng entered, everyone was quiet for a moment. After nodding, they continued what they had just said...

“…A few days ago, in the direction of Dali Mountain, there was a calamity thunder of heaven appearing…”

“After that, the auras of those demonic wings disappeared…”

“Not only that, the aura of the large golden elixir demon cultivator has never appeared again…”

 “Could it be that... Tian Dao opened his eyes? Directly suppress these demon cultivators?”

 “What are you thinking about? There is probably something hidden in this…”

 “The devil is in internal strife? Killing each other?”

"at this time?"

“…Senior Situ, what can you figure out?”

 “It’s a fog, the sky is treacherous, it’s not real...”

 “Isn’t this calculated?”

 “No, this is calculated...”

"What's the meaning…"

 “The secret of heaven is treacherous…”

 “It’s... a ‘guilty’ Taoist...”

Everyone was suffocated, and then someone said:

"Is this deceitful man stupid? At this moment, he kills his fellow-travelers?"

 “Who can figure out the intentions of deceitful people?”

 Some people looked solemn, while others frowned and said:

“…Speaking of which, aren’t you curious about how the deceitful man did his thing?”

 “What on earth did he do to slaughter the four demons and hundreds of golden elixirs?”

 “This is at the border of Sanpinzhou…”

“The appearance of the calamity thunder is... taking advantage of the heavenly calamity, right?”

"How to use it? Those demon cultivators are not stupid, won't they run away? They must restrain their cultivation and not become immortals. They should also know this taboo..."

 “I’m not a trickster, how do I know?”

“It is estimated that he was forced into desperation by the trickster, so he had no choice but to use the power of feathering, and because of this, he was wiped out in ashes under the thunder of disaster..."

"Why do you think you are a deceitful person?"

 “On his own...how is it possible?”

 “A demon planted in the heart of the Tao?”

“Tao Xin Demon Planting is a demon-suppressing skill derived from the Illusion Demon Sect. However, I have learned this kind of demon skill before. It’s just a little tricky and troublesome, but it’s not very powerful at all…”

“Some techniques, magic weapons, and spiritual weapons that can calm the mind and calm the mind can restrain the demons in the heart of the Tao..."

 “If only it were that simple…”

“…If it were that simple, he wouldn’t be named a ‘Taoist’ by the Demon Sect…”

“What’s the difference between his Taoist demons?”

 Everyone was puzzled, but their expressions were a little more solemn.

"No matter what, monks in the Ascension Realm should not take action easily..."

“If we can’t take action, what are we, the fledgling monks, doing?”

 “What’s the point of taking action?”

“In the realm of the third-level state, even if you are a real person, you are just a stronger golden elixir!”

"Can't become a feather, can't fly, and can display less than 10% of 10% of his strength. He still faces the risk of being wiped out by the catastrophe all the time..."

“The four immortal ancestors of the Demon Sect were born in the Demonic Way and were extremely vicious. After living for so many years, haven’t they fallen into the trap of the deceitful people and been wiped out by the catastrophe?”

 “Those are the four great demons of the Ascension Realm!”

Having said this, everyone was a little frightened.

 Dongxu cannot come out of the world.

 The highest realm among the major monastic forces who are walking outside is generally the realm of ascension.

 But those who are in the Ascension Realm generally do not come to state borders below the third level.

 Because the risk is too great.

If it weren't for this important matter, involving Mr. Zhuang, who calculated the secrets of heaven, there would not have been a gathering of ten Dao Ting Yu Hua Zhenren outside Lishan City!

 But now because of the trickster, the situation has become subtle again.

They are Yucheng and have strong cultivation, but they don't dare to take action at all.

The way of heaven obliterates.

These four words are like a **** guillotine, placed over their heads all the time, waiting for them to make a mistake, and then it will be slashed down and take their lives.

"damn it!"

 A real person in the form of a feather, feeling aggrieved and angry, struck the case.

“You are a feather, a real person, take your image into consideration, pay attention to your conversation...”

　　"I'm happy with it, but what the **** do you care about it?"

 “My self-cultivation is so **** poor…”

 “Damn it, aren’t you also swearing?”

 “It’s not rude to come back but not return, I will **** scold you!”

 …

 The two lost their grace and started to quarrel.

Someone couldn't stand it anymore and said, "You two, in front of so many people, could you please pay attention to your **** manners and stop using dirty words?!"

 “Aren’t you **** swearing too?”

 …

 Someone coughed and said, "Master Bai is here..."

 “What the **** is white…”

In the middle of speaking, the man suddenly stopped and looked up at the seat. Bai Qingcheng, who was dressed in white, had a beautiful appearance and a cool temperament. His face turned red and he swallowed the words silently.

Everyone also became quiet, coughed a few times, cleared their throats, sat upright, and paid attention to their own image.

Bai Qingcheng turned a deaf ear, her gaze not wavering at all.

 The old man at the top of the table shook his head helplessly.

He has a withered face, wears Xuan clothes, his surname is Situ, he is proficient in arithmetic, he is the great elder of Xuanji Valley, and he is known as Zhenren Situ.

He is the most accomplished, oldest, and most senior person here.

Zhenren Situ looked around and slowly said:

“No matter what, Yuhua Zhenren, don’t take action easily again!”

 “It’s not easy to cultivate into flying feathers…”

“If anything goes wrong with Master Yuhua, it will be a loss for our court, and it will also be a disaster for your sect’s power!”

 “Everyone, please take care of yourselves!”

 Situ Zhenren’s words are serious and thoughtful.

 Everyone also raised their hands and said, "Senior Situ, what you said is true."

Some people also wondered: "Senior Situ, logically speaking, the burial in the sky is of great importance, but why..."

“The top aristocratic families and sects in Daozhou did not send high-level monks this time, but only sent some golden elixirs to make up the numbers?”

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other.

“That’s true...” “If Patriarch Dongxu is not born, then forget it if he doesn’t come...”

Even if it comes, it is just a large "golden elixir", and it is still in danger of falling, and the gain outweighs the loss.

“…But why don’t even the monks from the Ascension Realm come?”

 “This really doesn’t make sense…”

 …

 All the feathers whispered, and then they all silently turned their eyes to Bai Qingcheng who was sitting in the seat.

 Among the many forces present here, only the Bai family is the real behemoth.

Although it is not located in Daozhou, it is located in one place and is enough to compete with the ancient aristocratic families in Daozhou.

 Among all the Yuhua masters here, only Bai Qingcheng has the largest family and the deepest background.

Bai Qingcheng looked indifferent and remained silent.

 Everyone was helpless, wanting to ask but not daring to ask.

Situ Zhenren said: "Each aristocratic family has its own arrangements, and the ancestors of each family also have their own coordinators. We should do our own thing well, and other matters are not our responsibility."

Everyone frowned, but since Master Situ had spoken, they were not in a position to delve too deeply into it.

After all the immortals dispersed, Bai Qingcheng also stood up and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Master Situ.

 “Bai Zhenren…”

Although Situ Zhenren was highly virtuous and respected, his tone when talking to Bai Qingcheng was still extremely polite.

Not only because of her aristocratic family, but also because of her extremely high talent. At the age of hundreds of years, she broke through the realm and became a flying real person...

 More importantly, are the various causes and effects she is associated with.

Mr. Zhuang, the trickster, and her two children with Tianlinggen...

 There are some things that other people don’t know.

 But Zhenren Situ is proficient in Dao algorithms and has been in charge of Xuanji Valley for many years. Naturally, he knows more about some inside information than others.

Bai Qingcheng's expression was cold and slightly arrogant, but he was also very respectful to Zhenren Situ. He nodded and said:

 “Senior Situ.”

Zhenren Situ hesitated for a moment and then said:

 “Before Master Bai comes, do you have any instructions for the ancestor of the Bai family?”

Bai Qingcheng frowned slightly, "Senior Situ, what do you want to ask?"

Zhenren Situ didn’t want to ask too carefully, he just sighed:

 “As I get older, I am afraid of death, so I just ask about good or bad luck.”

 It’s about heaven’s secrets and great opportunities.

 At any rate, he is coming.

But at this moment, he discovered that this opportunity was very strange. No matter how he calculated or deduced, the way forward was still confusing.

He has lived for so many years and has become more mature with age. At this time, he wants to keep a back-up to protect his old age.

The Xuanjigu family has a great cause, but the younger generation is not good at learning, and they have to rely on an old guy like him to support him. He can't lose his life here...

Bai Qingcheng was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Master Situ, as a senior, would be so frank.

She thought for a moment and then said: "Ancestor and the others didn't want me to come..."

 “But I have to come because of some reasons...”

“Before leaving, my ancestor only gave me one sentence, let me...”

Bai Qingcheng paused slightly and slowly said four words: "Sit back and watch..."

 “Sit back and watch?”

Zhenren Situ was stunned and surprised.

How could you...stand idly by?

They don’t care, they don’t ask, they don’t seek, they don’t pursue that…

 Situ Zhenren’s expression changed, and his heart fluctuated.

Bai Qingcheng said this, cupped her hands and said, "I say goodbye, junior."

Until Bai Qingcheng walked away, Master Situ stood there in shock, frowning and muttering to himself:

"impossible…"

 “How could they not be in a hurry?”

“When the final decision was made in this big game of chess, why did they all suddenly become cowards and withdraw?”

“Those old immortals must be more anxious than me when their time comes.”

 “No, something’s wrong!”

"Unless...they have calculated something, or are they worried about something?"

“Or maybe this chess game is different from what I thought…”

Suspicions arose in Zhenren Situ's mind. He stroked his beard and paced back and forth in the hall. After wandering countless times, he suddenly stopped and his heart trembled:

 “Is it possible that there are changes in this game?”

"The chess game at this time...is not the end game, but just the beginning?"

“Using Mr. Nazhuang’s death as a starting point?”

 “Using the present life of Guixu Celestial Burial as the first son to plan the heaven and earth, and to move across the latitude and longitude?!”

During the 20,000 years since Daoting was established, some fragmentary deeds and rumors emerged in his mind, connecting them...

 Situ Zhenren was a little unbelievable.

"impossible…"

 “Who can have such a big hand?”

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and the more he thought about it, the more horrified he became, as if there was an endless abyss, a huge mouth opened, and a frightening aura was emitted.

 Situ Zhenren's body was trembling uncontrollably.

 What is hidden in this?

Or are you just overthinking it?

Situ Zhenren slumped on his seat and was silent for a long time, then sighed deeply:

　　“That’s all, let’s just survive...”

Even if there is any conspiracy, it is still far away from me, not to mention ten thousand years, but at least a thousand years. Maybe by that time, I will be dead, and it will be over...

 Situ Zhenren suddenly felt relieved.

 At the moment, let’s think about current matters.

The ancestor of the Bai family told Bai Qingcheng to "stand back and watch", and it was definitely not groundless.

That means that once they are involved, their lives will be in danger.

 Where will he die?

 Don't think about it, he must be a deceitful person, must be a "devil with a Taoist heart"...

 The title of Taoist is not an easy one.

Zhenren Situ frowned and thought for a moment, then called a disciple and ordered:

“Give me the order to set up the Pure Heart Formation, the Concentrating Spirit Formation, and the Dust-free Formation around the camp…”

“Strengthen the vigilance all around. If anyone who looks like a ‘Taoist’ or a monk with strange shapes approaches, tell me as soon as possible...”

“Let all the monks in the Ascension Realm not go out at will…”

 …

Situ Zhenren said a lot in one breath. After finishing his instructions, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then he had some self-doubt:

 “Am I making a fuss out of a molehill by doing this?”

"No matter how strong the deceitful people are, they can't kill ten of us who are in the Ascension Realm..."

As soon as Master Situ finished speaking, he immediately reacted and twitched his mouth slightly.

 Don’t be mean-mouthed!

 He is a student of cause and effect and cannot say such fatal words!

As the arrangements of Master Situ continued, other Master Yuhua soon heard what he said and came to see him, and said:

“Senior Situ, are we making a fuss out of a molehill?”

"No matter how strong the deceitful person is, it is impossible..."

Situ Zhenren’s eyes were as sharp as a knife, and he immediately looked over to tell him to shut up.

 “Nip problems in the bud!”

 “Don’t underestimate the deceitful people!”

Situ Zhenren’s tone was solemn.

Everyone looked solemn when they saw Master Situ. They expected the matter to be serious, so they said no more.

 …

 A few days later, a disciple came to report.

“Ancestor, there is a ‘Taoist’… here…”

Situ Zhenren was startled. He immediately stood up and took a look outside.

 But the surrounding area is empty, dense formations, towering mountains and rivers, and there is no "Taoist" figure.

Situ Zhenren frowned.

“It’s strange, I clearly saw that there was a ‘Taoist’…”

The disciple who reported the news murmured somewhat strangely.

 “Where has the ‘Taoist’ gone?”

 “Could it be that he is hiding?”

"Or…"

 The disciple was stunned for a moment, and his voice suddenly became hoarse and wooden:

 “…I am the Taoist?”

Zhenren Situ was horrified when he heard this, and broke into a cold sweat in an instant.

He turned around and saw the disciple who reported the news, his pupils were dark.

I feel so tired all of a sudden. I can’t write today. I’ll write again tomorrow...
