What's more, the Shang Qing Skill couldn't shake the Taiyi genuine Qi. He had practiced other skills in his previous life and had experience. This undoubtedly proved that the "Shang Qing Heart Sutra" that he desired was not as good as the "Taiyi" skill.
In his impression, Dongguo Haoran's cultivation had shocked him, but what was going on? Could it be that the Shanghai Sect didn't give him the real cultivation skill?
But after asking Chen Guishuo for information, he found that it was true. "Shang Qing Heart Sutra" was the most authentic skill of the Shangqing Sect. Everyone practiced this, so there was absolutely no problem with the skill. The only difference was that the level of the disciples was not high enough to practice other skills.
What the hell was going on? Niu Youdao thought about it and realized that the progress of practicing "Taiyi" this time was much faster than in his previous life. Gradually, he realized something. Maybe "Taiyi" was really stronger than "Shang Qing Heart Sutra". The real difference was that the spiritual Qi in his previous life was far less than here.
After this realization, he was speechless. All his efforts were in vain. If he knew this would happen, why would he go through all the hardships and risks to come to the Shangqing Sect? He almost lost his life. Now, he didn't know how long he would be put under house arrest.
However, there was nothing he could do. Without comparison, he couldn't tell the good from the bad. It was inevitable that he would suffer some losses. What else could he say? He could only continue to practice "Taiyi".
Another month later, in the evening, he drank with Chen Guishuo under a peach tree.
Chen Guishuo, who was a bit tipsy, had a smile on his face as he muttered to himself, as if he was joking, but this joke was a bit heavy. "Every cup of wine here consumes food. Who knows how many ordinary people in the outside world are starving to death, but we are enjoying this fine wine here. I wonder if this is considered a sin …" Chen Guishuo, who was a bit tipsy from drinking, had a smile on his face.
Niu Youdao's eyes were a little serious. Then he smiled and poured wine for them, "Senior Brother, fill it up."
The two of them ate and drank until the sky darkened. Just when they were about to finish, a ball of light floated down from the stone steps. It was a glowing butterfly, and it was none other than Elder Tang Susu. Two disciples followed behind her.
Chen Guishuo and Niu Youdao were shocked. They didn't expect Tang Susu to suddenly appear here. They stood up in a hurry and greeted, "Elder Tang!"
Tang Susu's cold eyes swept across the mess on the small table. She raised her cold eyes and seemed to stare at Chen Guishuo who reeked of alcohol.
Chen Guishuo was frightened. He looked terrified and lowered his head. Tang Susu was the law enforcement elder of the Shangqing Sect. Usually, she was in charge of punishment. In addition, her temper was not very good. There was no disciple in the Shangqing Sect who was not afraid of her.
But today, Tang Susu seemed to be easy to talk to. She said lightly, "What a scandal! Why haven't you cleaned up?"
"Yes!" The two responded as if they had been pardoned. Niu Youdao was about to follow Chen Guishuo to clean up.
Unexpectedly, Tang Susu said, "Niu Youdao, come here." She turned around and went into the courtyard.
"…" Niu Youdao was stunned. He looked at Chen Guishuo with a questioning look. He didn't know what was going on.
Chen Guishuo hurriedly turned his head and signaled him to go in quickly. He didn't want to let Elder Tang wait for too long.
Niu Youdao had no choice but to quickly follow. He didn't know what Tang Susu wanted to do. Seeing that Tang Susu was slowly walking around the courtyard, he followed her step by step with a respectful attitude. He had a deep impression of this Elder Tang. The first time they met, Elder Tang was not polite at all. He directly wanted to take his life. At that time, if it wasn't for Dongguo Haoran placing a protective talisman in his body, his little life would have been over. Therefore, he was vigilant and careful.
"The cleaning is still considered clean." After walking around the courtyard, Tang Susu walked into the Peach Blossom Hall and said. She stopped in front of the statue of the Founding Master and bowed respectfully. After straightening up, she stared at the statue of the Founding Master and said Slowly, "When the Founding Master came here to establish the sect, he had nothing. The earliest place he settled down was this Peach Blossom Garden. To be able to live here is equivalent to basking in the glory of the Founding Master. It can be considered your good fortune."
"Yes!" Niu Youdao replied respectfully, "It is my good fortune." But in his heart, he muttered, 'Good fortune my a * s, I was obviously under house arrest.'
Tang Susu turned around and looked around the house. She asked, "Are you used to living here?"
Niu Youdao said, "Replying to Elder, it is very quiet."
Tang Susu directly ignored the hidden meaning in his words and asked expressionlessly, "Are there any marriages in the family? For example, have you been engaged or something like that? "
"Uh …" Niu Youdao raised his head in surprise. He didn't know what she was asking about. He carefully replied, "I am still young and have not been engaged. My family is empty and there are no conditions for me to be engaged."
"Your words are logical and logical. It doesn't seem like you were born in the mountains." Tang Susu suddenly said something that was either a compliment or a sarcastic remark. Then, she returned to the main topic, "A man fights for his future. If you want to talk about your family background, it is too petty. But now there is a good opportunity for you. It can be considered that your luck has come."
"…" Niu Youdao looked at her in confusion. What did she mean? He wanted to hear what she had to say.
Tang Susu looked back at the sitting statue of the ancestor. In front of the ancestor, she seemed to be afraid to say something. She called Niu Youdao out of the Peach Blossom Hall. They strolled in the backyard. Then, she said again, "Sect Master Tang Mu passed away. His daughter, Tang Yi, is also your Sister Tang. You have seen her before. What do you think of her appearance?"
"…" Niu Youdao was surprised. Listening to the tone of her words, could it be that the so-called good opportunity was referring to Tang Yi and him? Was she joking? He hesitated and said, "Sister Tang is naturally beautiful."
"Yes!" Tang Susu nodded and stopped with a smile. She said, "This good opportunity is your Sister Tang. I am her closest grandaunt. I can make the decision to betroth her to you. What do you think?"
"Ah!" Niu Youdao exclaimed. What he was worried about had come true. Last time, she wanted him to be the Sect Master. Now, she wanted him to marry Tang Mu's daughter. What the hell was the Shanghai Sect doing? He hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no!"
The smile on Tang Susu's face disappeared instantly. Her face darkened. "Why not? Your Senior Sister Tang has the looks and the figure. You're still young, so there are some things you don't understand. Wait until your body grows a bit more, and when you become a man and can distinguish between good and bad, you'll naturally know how good your Senior Sister Tang is. "
How could Niu Youdao agree to such an inexplicable thing? It was too strange. "Elder, I am still young. I am not worthy of Sister Tang …"
Without waiting for him to finish, Tang Susu interrupted him rudely. "You are not young either. In your village, there are many people who have children at your age. There is no such thing as a good match. When your master was alive, he made an alliance with the Sect Master, Tang Mu. Both sides agreed that Tang Mu's daughter would be married to Dongguo's disciple. Now you are the only disciple left of Dongguo. Who else can this marriage belong to? As the saying goes, a teacher for a day is a father for a lifetime. Marriage is the order of the parents. Moreover, it is difficult to disobey the master's order. "
Made an alliance? Niu Youdao's eyes widened. It was more like seeing a ghost. How could a marriage be arranged like this? The alliance between Tang Mu and Dongguo Haoran had nothing to do with him!
The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was strange. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that there was a pit waiting for him to jump into. Even if there was a good thing, it would definitely not be his turn. He braced himself and said, "My age is really not worthy of Sister Tang …"
Tang Susu was very strong. She did not wait for him to finish and interrupted him again. "Do you know the consequences of disobeying the master's order in the Shangqing Sect? Disloyal, unfilial, heartless, and unjust. The Shangqing Sect will not allow such scum to exist. As the law enforcement elder, I will not sit by and watch this kind of disciple exist! If you really want to disobey the master's order, I don't want to dirty my hands. You can jump off the cliff outside! "
The moon butterfly above her flapped its wings and floated in the air. The flickering soft light shone on her cold and emotionless face.
"…" Niu Youdao was really speechless. Was she being reasonable? Did she want him to jump off the cliff and kill himself? He did not know whether that damned marriage contract existed or not. But now he knew that there was no reason to talk to this old woman. He swallowed his saliva and said, "This disciple wants to ask Sister Tang's opinion on this matter. Can you allow disciple to talk to Senior Sister?"
Tang Susu indifferently said, "No need. You don't need to worry about your Senior Sister. I only want to ask you one thing. Will you obey the master's order?"
In the end, Niu Youdao absent-mindedly sent Tang Susu out of the Peach Blossom Spring. He did not even remember how he came back.
The result was naturally needless to say. Tang Susu was too strong. There was no room for negotiation. It was obvious that if he did not agree, she would kill him. She did not even try to cover it up. Niu Youdao did not have any room to refuse. He instinctively realized that there must be something wrong with this matter. How could there be such a thing? Under normal circumstances, would Tang Yi agree to this kind of thing, not to mention him?
He woke up from his daze and quickly went outside. He wanted to find Chen Guishuo to inquire about the situation. In the end, he found that Chen Guishuo was not there. He then ran down the stone steps. In the end, he was stopped halfway up the mountain. It was the two disciples who followed Tang Susu.
When he returned to the Peach Blossom Spring, he took out a mirror from the Peach Blossom Hall and repeatedly looked at himself under the moonlight. Such a young and tender face. Marriage?
Apart from other things, it was not that he did not know the background of Song Yanqing. The power of the Song family was so powerful that even the Shangqing Sect could not afford to offend them. If he dared to interfere with the woman that Song Yanqing had his eyes on, wasn't he looking for death? He was quite doubtful that Song Yanqing would let him go!
But now, he could only take one step at a time. He had no other choice!
When he put down the mirror in his hand, his eyes suddenly glanced at the water tank on the side. There were five water tanks distributed in the courtyard. They were usually used to water plants and the like. The water tanks were all filled with clear water. Just now, something seemed to have flashed across the water.
He slowly raised the mirror in his hand again. He saw the reflection of the bronze mirror in the water tank. It was not very clear in the dark. However, as the angle of the mirror swayed, the mirror faced the moonlight. In the water, nine hazy spots of light appeared in the reflection of the bronze mirror.
Niu Youdao let out a soft cry of surprise and took a few steps back. The front of the mirror was still facing the moonlight and the back of the mirror was facing the ground. However, he did not see the spots of light in the shadow of the ground. He raised the mirror above his head and looked at the back of the mirror under the moonlight, but he did not see any spots of light on the back of the mirror.
He walked closer to the water tank again. As a result, nine hazy spots of light appeared on the water. He looked up at the sky and then at the mirror in his hand. He gradually muttered something.
