With the light of dawn, the Taoist priest opened the door and came to the yard outside.
Unconsciously, he has been with his master for a month.
Until today, the Taoist priest has not figured out why the strange world reshapes the past.
But no matter what, such days are what he often misses in the past.
If this strange world never ends, it would be nice.
"Why have you become so diligent recently? You get up to practice before the cock crows."
The old Taoist priest who came towards him was very surprised. His apprentice seemed to have been possessed.
The Taoist priest smiled: "After all, I am the only successor of Yin Yang Temple, and I have to shoulder the responsibility."
The old Taoist priest nodded slightly: "It's good that you have this awareness."
The Taoist priest followed his master to the osmanthus tree and started today's morning exercise.
The old Taoist priest who was walking in front suddenly said: "You have reached a bottleneck in your practice recently. Go to the sealed land for retreat tomorrow. Come out when you break through."
The Taoist priest's body stiffened when he heard this.
Seclusion in the sealed land...
Today is... the eve of the beast tide in Hundred Cities!
The Taoist priest understood: "The purpose of breaking through the alien realm is to temper my will?"
The death of the master has always been a hurdle in his heart.
Breaking through the alien realm seems to make him experience it again.
Although this is an alien realm and everything is fake, the master in front of him at this moment is alive and well, the master he has been with day and night for thirty days.
Seeing that the apprentice did not respond, the old Taoist priest wondered: "Why are you in a daze?"
The Taoist priest had a dry throat: "Master, can you go down the mountain tomorrow?"
As long as the master is not in the Yin-Yang Temple, he will naturally not be killed by the escaped world master.
Since it's time to start over, the Taoist priest will never let this happen.
Noticing the abnormality of the apprentice, the old Taoist priest asked in a deep voice: "Why?"
"Tell the truth!"
The master's voice exploded in the Taoist priest's ears like rolling thunder.
The power of Taoist secrets
The Taoist took a deep breath: "If you stay, you will die."
The old Taoist put his hands behind his back: "Will I die?"
The Taoist nodded and told him everything: "Tomorrow, many people will die in the beast tide of the hundred cities. The seal will loosen, and some of the power of the ancestral beast will escape. It will kill you."
The old Taoist was thoughtful and whispered softly: "So this is how I died."
The Taoist felt that his master was unexpectedly calm.
"You... don't have anything to ask?"
The old Taoist came back to his senses and smiled at the Taoist: "You are not my apprentice."
The Taoist was petrified on the spot.
The old Taoist walked slowly to him: "Are you from the future? Want to stop my death?"
The Taoist's heart was in turmoil.
Breaking through the alien realm is not just about reshaping the past, but completely rebirthing the master in the alien realm.
The master in front of him is not a set program, but flesh and blood with soul.
For the first time, the Taoist felt the horror of the power of the alien realm.
But in this way, he couldn't let his master die a second time.
The old Taoist said to himself: "My apprentice will not get up before the cock crows to practice, nor will he be polite to me."
"You are my future apprentice, am I right?"
The Taoist bit his lower lip tightly: "You can understand it this way, so please go down the mountain."
The old Taoist asked curiously: "Did I kill Him?"
The Taoist shook his head: "No, but He was severely injured by you and fled to the north. Later, he was killed by me and my friends."
The old Taoist raised his mouth slightly: "Then I can't go down the mountain. If I severely injure Him, you will be better off. Otherwise, He will go on a killing spree as soon as he comes down the mountain."
"The more he kills, the stronger his power will be, and the harder it will be to deal with."
The Taoist was stunned.
Indeed, the reason why the Snow City Lord was able to solve the problem smoothly at the beginning, in addition to the super god Qin Ze, was largely due to the fact that the Lord was not at the peak of Tao Yichu.
And this result was exchanged for the master's life.
The old Taoist kicked the Taoist priest on the buttocks: "Go and practice, don't teach me how to do things."
The Taoist priest spent the morning exercise in a trance.
After the end, the old Taoist priest said: "I will prepare some talismans and send you to retreat tomorrow."
Looking at the hunched back of the master walking away, the Taoist priest whispered: "See you tomorrow, Master."
After returning to the room, the Taoist priest sat on the bed and closed his eyes to meditate.
The master accepted his fate so calmly, but he couldn't accept it.
The Taoist priest suddenly had a flash of inspiration. Could he also go to the sealed place in advance to prepare?
Now he is level nine, and if he makes a good plan in advance, there is a great probability that he can kill the escaping master.
In this way, the master will not have to die.
He did it right away, and the Taoist priest immediately went to the sealed place.
The seal of the ancestor beast is located at the top of Yinyang Mountain.
The Taoist priest just walked halfway up the mountain and found something wrong. There was a power fluctuation in the sealed place, and the seal was extremelyUnstable.
"Someone is breaking the seal!"
The Taoist priest accelerated suddenly and reached the top of the mountain in a few steps.
But when he stepped into the sealed land, the scene in front of him stunned him.
He saw a man with a sword box on his back injecting power into the seal array continuously.
He was not breaking the array, but reinforcing the seal.
He set up a shielding force field on the periphery, so the Taoist priest only noticed the fluctuation halfway up the mountain.
Familiar sword box, familiar back, the Taoist priest blurted out: "Qin Ze!"
The man turned around suddenly, and the black and white mask on his face almost fell off.
"Fuck!"
"Why did you come early? Aren't you going to retreat tomorrow?"
The Taoist priest frowned.
The person in front of him was Qin Ze, but he was not Qin Ze.
The breath, voice, sword box... all proved Qin Ze's identity.
But he was too strong, and just standing there made the Taoist priest feel suffocated.
It's like... facing a god!
"Where is Qin Ze?"
The man carrying the sword box looked around, then waved his hand and left quickly.
Before leaving, he said: "Tomorrow, part of the power of the master will escape from here. Guard the seal and don't slack off."
The other party was too strong, and he came and went without a trace. Even he, a ninth-level warrior, couldn't keep up.
"The seal has indeed been reinforced..."
Only with his ninth-level power can he have a subtle perception.
In reality, the Taoist priest came the next day, so he didn't meet this person.
But the seal was clearly reinforced, why did the master escape?
And, was that person Qin Ze just now?
The Taoist priest suddenly felt that his brain was not enough.
"Is he the future Qin Ze? But why did a future Qin Ze appear in the alien world?"
After thinking for a long time, he couldn't figure it out, so the Taoist priest could only put it aside for the time being and set up a formation trap.
The next day, the seal cracked as in reality, and the power of the master escaped.
While repairing the seal, the Taoist priest used the formation he had set up the night before to surround and kill the master.
But he still failed.
The power of the master was so great that even he, who had broken through the ninth level, could not resist it.
The master ran down the mountain. The Taoist priest looked at the seal that was still breaking, and finally sighed and continued to repair it.
That night, the Taoist priest returned to the familiar courtyard again, and what caught his eyes was blood all over the ground.
"Master..."
The Taoist priest's voice trembled, and his feet staggered for a while, and finally saw the dying old Taoist priest in front of his door.
"Cough cough cough——"
"I'm old, I still let that beast escape. Next... I have to rely on you..."
The old Taoist priest's body was broken into pieces, and he was barely breathing.
The Taoist priest sat on the ground, put his head on his thighs, and tears flowed.
"The formation has been repaired, you don't have to worry."
The old Taoist forced a smile: "You are worthy of being my favorite student."
"Tell me about the future, what will the Yin-Yang Temple look like in the future..."
The Taoist said with tears: "I raised a rooster again, renovated the yard, and built a room."
"What happened later..."
"Later, I also accepted an apprentice. He is very talented and will definitely go further than me in the future. However, he is also lazy like me. He will not get up to practice until the rooster crows three times every day."
The old Taoist smiled and said: "He is the same as your master."
The Taoist's tears kept falling on his master's chest: "Yes, the same as me."
"Master, what should I do?"
"I have been trying hard to play your role, but I am still far from it, far from it..."
The old Taoist held the Taoist's hand tightly: "Why do you want to play me?"
"You are you, my irreplaceable apprentice, your apprentice's irreplaceable master, and the irreplaceable master of Yin Yang Temple in the future."
"What you need to do is to be yourself, not to play a dead person. You are not an actor, and actors can't play roles perfectly."
"And... you have done very well, better than me as a master... I'm relieved to leave Yin Yang Temple to you..."
The old Taoist slowly closed his eyes, and there was no sound.
The Taoist hugged the old Taoist tightly in his arms: "I know, Master, I know what to do."
"From this moment on, I am me, I am the 28th master of Yin Yang Temple - Xuan Bei."
An inexplicable air rose up from under the Taoist's feet, circled around and merged into his body.
Immediately, everything around him collapsed rapidly.
