It was Chu Xiu's first time meeting the famous Old Celestial Master.
If he could only describe the Old Celestial Master with one word, it would be 'old'.
His hair and beard were all white, and his face was full of wrinkles. He wore a loose gray Taoist robe and reclined lazily on a bamboo chair. He looked just like an old man from a farmer's family, and he even gave off a benevolent vibe.
Of course, if one thought that the Old Celestial Master was a benevolent old man, it would only prove that one was very naive.
The Old Celestial Master was currently enjoying his retirement in the back mountain of Mount Longhu. However, when the Old Celestial Master was in charge of the Celestial Master Abode, his reputation was not just for show. Instead, it was because of Thunder.
Chu Xiu had wanted to see if the Old Celestial Master had any impression of his current appearance. However, after seeing the Old Celestial Master, Chu Xiu was a little disappointed. The Old Celestial Master probably did not recognize him.
The old Celestial Master looked at Chu Xiu, sizing him up. He wasn't surprised.
Chu Xiu thought about it and felt relieved. 500 years ago, the Old Celestial Master was just an ordinary disciple of the Celestial Master Abode. He was just a young Taoist priest, not a young one. At that time, there were many talents and powerhouses everywhere, so he was not famous. It was unknown if he had even seen Dugu Weiwei.
Of course, the Old Celestial Master said that he had seen Dugu Weiwei and that there was nothing special about Dugu Weiwei, who only had a nose and two eyes. To others, it seemed like he was bragging.
However, the Old Celestial Master was the only martial artist who had survived that era. Even if he was bragging, no one would know.
The Old Celestial Master's name was Zhang Yanyuan. Chu Xiu had asked Lu Jiang River if he had heard of this name before. Lu Jiang River's answer was no. At that time, the few powerhouses of Mount Longhu did not have this name. Clearly, the Old Celestial Master was a 'nobody' back then.
Chu Xiu and Old Celestial Master looked at each other for a long time before Chu Xiu cupped his fists and said, "Greetings, Old Celestial Master."
Glancing at Zhang Chengzhen, Chu Xiu smiled and said, "Brother Zhang, long time no see."
Zhang Chengzhen said with an indifferent expression, "A day in the cave is a thousand years in the world. For cultivators, time is only divided into the period before and after comprehending the Dao. There is no difference in the length of time. "
Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows. Since when did Zhang Chengzhen learn to be tactful? Was he infected by those monks?
The old Heavenly Master glanced at Zhang Chengzhen. "If you have something to say, just say it. If you have something to say, just say it. If you have something to say, just say it. You don't have anything to do with this kid, and you've even forgotten the last time you met him. Don't beat around the bush. Don't learn from those bald donkeys."
The elderly Celestial Master had spoken so bluntly that even Zhang Chengzhen, who had always been calm, felt a little awkward.
Old Celestial Master turned to look at Chu Xiu and narrowed his eyes. "Devil Lord Official Chu?"
"In front of Old Celestial Master, no one dares to address themselves as Sir," Chu Xiu said.
Old Celestial Master slowly straightened his back and stared at Chu Xiu. "You should know your current status and reputation in the pugilistic world.
Aren't you afraid that I'll make you stay here by coming to my Celestial Master Abode at a time like this?
Don't think that I'll care about my reputation of bullying the weak.
I'm already so old. So what if I'm embarrassed? I can't bring it underground anyway. "
Chu Xiu shook his head. "I believe you won't do that, Old Celestial Master."
A look of interest appeared on the old celestial master's face. "Oh? You know, but I don't even know if I'll do it. "
Chu Xiu said calmly, "All these years, I've been doing things in the Celestial Master Abode. I've never sought to make any mistakes. I've always been very stable. Old Celestial Master, you won't make a move unless you're 100% confident that you can keep me here and resist the Holy Sect's revenge. "
The old celestial master suddenly rose to his feet. The benevolent expression on his face suddenly disappeared, and a powerful aura was released around him. In an instant, wind and lightning surged, forming a deafening thunderstorm in the air.
"Are you saying that I won't be able to make you stay even if I try my best? Do you really think so little of me? "
Chu Xiu's expression didn't change at all. He still looked calm. "I'm not looking down on you, Old Celestial Master. I'm just confident in myself."
Old Celestial Master's aura suddenly disappeared. It was as if the thunderstorm was just an illusion.
"Young man, you have guts. But you didn't take such a risk to come up Dragon Tiger Mountain just to see me, did you?"
Old Celestial Master lay back on his bamboo chair and returned to his old and frail appearance.
Chu Xiu said in a deep voice, "I don't want to keep you in suspense, Old Celestial Master. I'm here for one thing.
The news of Ling Yunzi gathering all the Righteous Dao sects to destroy the Kunlun Devil Cult has spread throughout the world. Your sect's Taoist Zhang Daoling will probably be back soon.
That's why I just want Celestial Master Abode to stay out of this. "
Old Celestial Master looked at Chu Xiu strangely. "I'm righteous, and you're the devil.
This matter was brought up by the Chunyang Dao Sect, and all the Righteous Dao sects in the world agreed.
Celestial Master Abode is also a Righteous Dao sect, and we're the leader of the Dao sects. How dare you persuade us not to make a move? Isn't this a joke?
"But what good will it do to the Celestial Master Abode if we make a move?"
Chu Xiu sat in front of Old Celestial Master and poured himself a cup of tea from Old Celestial Master's teapot. He said plainly, "The Dao sects aren't suitable for doing things that are too radical, but the Chunyang Dao Sect is an exception.
As the sect master, although Ling Yunzi is rational enough, his personality is much more radical than other Dao martial artists.
Ling Yunzi can't see it, but you should be able to, Old Celestial Master. Me rebuilding the Kunlun Devil Cult and gathering all the Fiendish Dao martial artists to the Kunlun Mountain is actually beneficial to the situation in the world.
The news of Patriarch Dugu's reincarnation has spread, and the Pugilistic World is bound to be full of devils and all sorts of evil spirits.
But looking at the current Pugilistic World, it's just that the momentum is a little bigger. I've recruited people from all sides into the Kunlun Devil Cult in exchange for peace in the Pugilistic World.
If Ling Yunzi wants to start a war again, I'll accompany him to the end. But in fact, the Central Plains Warriors are the ones suffering. "
Old Celestial Master said with a faint smile, "So you're saying that you built the Kunlun Devil Cult for the sake of the Central Plains Warriors?"
Chu Xiu shook his head. "Of course I don't think so. But as long as the sect master doesn't appear, the Orthodox Dao and the Fiendish Dao can still maintain this balance. It's a good thing for everyone.
Of course, now that Ling Yunzi wants to start a war, the Kunlun Devil Cult will naturally accompany him to the end.
I think that even if you know the news, Old Celestial Master, you probably won't make a move this time. "
"Oh? Why do you know this old man so well? "
Chu Xiu said in a deep voice, "I've said it before. All these years, Old Celestial Master, you've never done anything radical. If you weren't 100% confident, you'd never make a move. The Moon Worshipping Cult is in West Chu, not far from the Celestial Master's Abode. If the Celestial Master's Abode can accommodate Ye Shaonan, why can't they accommodate me, Chu Xiu? "
Old Celestial Master glared at him. "Since that's the case, why did you come to the Celestial Master's Abode when you're certain that I won't make a move? Isn't this unnecessary? Aren't you afraid that I'll go to the Kunlun Mountain to cause trouble for you if you anger me? "
Chu Xiu shook his head. "I'm certain that you won't make a move, but you're not the only person in charge of the Celestial Master's Abode. I just don't want to see the Celestial Master's Abode being bewitched by others."
Old Celestial Master stroked the beard on his chin. The way he looked at Chu Xiu was a little strange.
If Chu Xiu wasn't bluffing, then his control over people's hearts was really amazing.
Most importantly, how old was he?
Old Celestial Master knew that age didn't mean everything. Some people were still stupid even after living their whole lives. However, Old Celestial Master couldn't help but be surprised when he saw a young man stirring up such a storm.
Old Celestial Master subconsciously glanced at Zhang Chengzhen. Fortunately, Zhang Chengzhen didn't feel jealous or depressed. His Taoist Heart was still stable.
Zhang Chengzhen had his own path to walk. No matter how impressive Chu Xiu was, it wasn't a path he wanted to walk.
At that moment, someone pushed open the door to Old Celestial Master's courtyard.
Zhang Daoling hurried in. When he saw Chu Xiu, he was shocked. He pointed at Chu Xiu, so shocked that he couldn't speak.
In his own sect, Zhang Daoling naturally wouldn't put his perception to the maximum. So he only sensed that there was someone in Old Celestial Master's courtyard. He thought it was just another disciple coming to ask Old Celestial Master about martial arts. He didn't expect it to be Chu Xiu!
At that moment, Zhang Daoling didn't know what to say. Leave Chu Xiu here? It seemed like he came back to Celestial Master's Abode to ask this question.
Was he supposed to greet Chu Xiu?
Chu Xiu looked at Old Celestial Master and smiled. "Look, there's someone with a different opinion. I think Priest Zhang must have brought the attitude of Chunyang Dao Sect. But I believe that Old Celestial Master will make the right choice. I won't disturb you anymore. "
Old Celestial Master nodded and said slowly, "You don't plan to stay and have a taste of my vegetarian food?"
Chu Xiu shook his head. An inexplicable smile appeared on his lips. It had a hint of blood in it. "No, I like to eat meat."
After Chu Xiu left the mountain, Zhang Daoling frowned and asked, "Old Celestial Master, what is Chu Xiu doing here?"
Old Celestial Master said impatiently, "He's doing what you're doing here.
Why is the Alliance of the Orthodox Sects that you and Ling Yunzi made like a sieve? There are holes everywhere.
You haven't even made a move yet, but they've already received the news.
Why, do you have to be polite before killing? I'm going to draw my sword. Are you ready? "
Old Celestial Master shook his head. The warriors of this generation had not experienced troubled times. Their methods were a little primitive.
