The old Taoist named Jinlian said slowly, "A few days ago, I was severely injured and had no choice but to hide in the capital. My instincts told me that I would meet someone who could help me resolve the crisis.
"I waited by the roadside for a long time and finally, you came. However, I only knew that you were blessed, but I didn't know where you were.
"On the other hand, the woman in the carriage at that time had a magnificent aura. Her divine splendor was restrained and rare in the world. You gave her a bracelet, and the two of you will have a good relationship in the future. "
What he said was clear and logical, yet he did not hit the nail on the head. Wasn't this a fraud … Xu Qi 'an said, "Are you going to choose the other seven people from Tian Di Hui like you did me?"
"Yes!"
"Can I ask the reason?"
The old Taoist smiled for the first time. "You can, but after hearing what I said next, you will have no way out."
Xu Qi 'an thought for a long time, weighing the pros and cons in his heart. Then, he nodded. "Go ahead."
The old Daoist nodded. "Everything this humble Daoist has done is to save the Earth Sect."
Save the Earth Sect?
"Don't you think it's strange? The Earth Sect cultivates the power of merit, but I's junior brother, Violet Lotus, wanted to kill you and killed the prisoner who made the deal on your behalf. This is the opposite of the Earth Sect's cultivation philosophy. "
Number Nine killed my substitute … Xu Qi 'an's expression was calm, but he felt a chill in his heart.
He didn't know the process of the deal, and Wei Yuan didn't explain it. He only found out about it now.
Fortunately, he didn't get blinded by the treasures and gold and chose the most honest method.
Not only did he manage to avoid this crisis, he also expressed his loyalty.
"This is related to the secrets of the Earth Sect. Don't tell anyone." The Jinlian Taoist priest saw Xu Qi 'an nod, but he didn't explain immediately. Instead, he stayed silent for a long time before sighing.
"The current Taoist Master of the Earth Sect has become a demon, and almost everyone has been affected. Only a small number of people, including me, are unaffected.
"And the one who protects us is the Earth Book."
"Become a demon?" Xu Qi 'an found it hard to believe. The Earth Sect cultivates merit. As the master of the sect, he must have endless merit. It wouldn't be too much for him to pick up a tael of silver.
Even someone like that has become a demon … Is society so cold?
"Success is due to merit, and failure is also due to merit." The old Daoist priest stared at the flame of the candle in a daze.
"When Dao De Tianzun founded the Earth Sect, he said," There is no door to fortune or misfortune. " "Karma follows you like a shadow."
Speak like a human being … Xu Qi said calmly.
"Patron, do you think saving a life is a meritorious deed?" asked Golden Lotus.
"Isn't that the case?" Xu Qi 'an asked.
"What if you save a heinous person? He should have been punished by the heavens, but because you saved him, he survived and continued to do evil. "The old Daoist priest looked at Xu Qi 'an.
Xu Qi An frowned. "Human nature is full of changes. Light and darkness are intertwined. I can't be jealous of the world and hate the light just because I've seen darkness.
Xu Qi 'an pondered for a moment and frowned. "Human nature is ever-changing. Light and darkness are intertwined. You can't be jealous of the world and hate the light just because you've seen darkness.
"It's impossible for me to get to the bottom of their past before I save them. That's not realistic."
The old Daoist quietly straightened his back, his gaze was filled with admiration as he smiled, "Only after hearing your words can I be at ease to entrust the Book of the Earth to you.
"Sigh, it's not wrong for ordinary people to follow this principle. "But for us, it's the scariest karma. The more merit we accumulate, the heavier the karma.
"The Taoist leader has been doing good all his life. Sixty years ago, he failed to transcend the tribulation. Karma backfired and he fell into the demonic path. That's what it means when things reach an extreme.
"If you want to prove your Dao with merit, you have to bear the corresponding karma. You can become an immortal or a demon with a thought. That's the fate of every member of the Earth Sect. "
So the Earth Sect had such a secret!
It's time for the Confucian school to educate you. A gentleman should be neutral … Going to extremes won't last long … Xu Qi 'an suddenly thought of something and his expression changed.
'If my fortune comes from the same source as the Earth Sect, does that mean I'm in danger of becoming a demon too?'
He didn't trust the Jinlian Taoist priest wholeheartedly, so he didn't ask.
"Don't the Heaven and Human Sects care?" Xu Qi 'an asked. "They're Daoist sects after all."
"The Earth Sect has the danger of becoming a demon. Do you think the Heaven and Human Sects don't have the same danger?" The Jinlian Taoist priest sneered.
"Besides, this is the Earth Sect's business. What does it have to do with them?"
So what was the danger of the Heaven and Human Sects … Sixty years ago, the Heaven & Earth Society also appeared sixty years ago. This was consistent with the information Xu Qi 'an had found. He asked, "Taoist priest, if you want to establish the Heaven & Earth Society …"
The Jinlian Taoist priest said in a deep voice, "Kill the Taoist leader and clean up the sect."
"What realm is the Taoist leader of the Earth Sect in?"
"Second rank."
… Take the mirror back. I'm a man of steel. I won't accept anything that's given to me.
The old Taoist priest seemed to have seen through Xu Qi 'an's thoughts. He smiled and said,
He smiled and said, "I've been cultivating for decades. I don't have great skills, but I'm good at judging people. In Tian Di Hui, including benefactor, these eight people, in the future will not be people in the pond.
"You're scattered all over the world. You'll meet each other one day. Join the Heaven & Earth Society as soon as possible so that there won't be any casualties in the future."
Xu Qi 'an, who was initially reluctant to join the Heaven & Earth Society, suddenly changed his mind.
If what the old Taoist priest said was true, that everyone in the Heaven & Earth Society was talented and favored by the heavens, then it would definitely be beneficial for him to mingle in this circle.
He could play an important role at crucial moments.
"Alright!" Xu Qi 'an nodded.
The old Taoist priest nodded slightly. "If you need any help, you can ask me for help through the Book of the Earth. You can also ask other members through the Book of the Earth if they're in the capital. Helping each other was the purpose of the establishment of the Heaven & Earth Society.
"Also, the holder of the Book of the Earth will be named after the book's serial number."
After the old Taoist priest finished speaking, he turned into a wisp of green smoke and flew out of the room, drifting into the distance.
Yin Spirit!
Xu Qi 'an sat at the table and poured himself a cup of tea. He replayed the conversation in his mind.
From the looks of it, this expert from the Earth Sect has no ill intentions towards me … But the old Yin Spirit has deep plans. You'll never be able to see through their true plans from the surface … He gave me the mirror and used the night watchman to deal with his fellow sect members … Then, he reaped the benefits and became the biggest beneficiary. Just this alone shows that the old Taoist priest is an old Yin Spirit.
But he wasn't afraid. Xu Qi 'an had ample experience in this area. He had already thought of a way to escape for himself.
The only one who could deal with the old Yin Spirit was the old Yin Spirit.
Wei Yuan!
This great eunuch was extremely knowledgeable. He could rule the country and command the army. He was supported by the current emperor to be able to control the officials.
This was enough to show that this person had extraordinary means.
"If I want to survive in the capital, I need to cling to this person …" After making up his mind, Xu Qi 'an no longer panicked.
He picked up the fragment of the Book of the Earth on the table and immersed his consciousness in it.
Chaos filled the air again. In front of him was the world in the mirror. Eight spots of light floated in the hazy chaos. One of them was the brightest.
Lu!
Xu Qi 'an followed the spot of light and exited the world of chaos.
Using his finger as a pen, he wrote on the mirror, "Hello everyone, I'm a newbie. Please take care of me."
There was no response for a long time.
It was a little awkward … Xu Qi 'an typed again, "Everyone, I'm Chen Jinnan. Please take care of me."
"Lu: Brother Chen, I've contacted the Taoist priest through the Book of the Earth and learned about the situation from the Jinlian Taoist priest. Thank you for helping the Taoist priest resolve the crisis here."
"Three: It's a small matter. It's not worth mentioning."
'A small matter?
That day when he was talking to the Taoist priest Violet Lotus, he seemed ignorant and his realm was obviously not high … But he could help the Jinlian Taoist priest kill Violet Lotus and retrieve the Book of the Earth Number Nine … This Number Three might not be strong, but his background is unfathomable … 'Lu Hao thought to himself when he saw Number Three's nonchalant reply.
At that moment, Xu Qi 'an saw a message from another member in the mirror.
"Two: I haven't been paying attention to the messages from the Book of the Earth recently. What happened?"
