I am your natural enemy.

Chapter 732: No Need to Do, Deceive the World and Steal the Name

Wen Yan felt a little nervous, as these words sounded somewhat familiar. He now somewhat understood why the old Taoist priest seemed to want to give an example but felt it was inappropriate to say it.

How can we combine this with examples and analyze the methods and ideas in an easy-to-understand way?

If you really do this, what is the difference between this and criticizing the private life of your own ancestor who has already ascended to heaven?
Wen Yan didn't know what to say, so he just frowned and nodded seriously.

"Don't worry, senior. I will definitely pass on your message."

The old Taoist raised his head slightly, looked up at the sky, with a bit of melancholy on his face.

Wen Yan stood nearby, looking at the old Taoist priest who was standing tall with one hand behind his back. He thought, as they get older, they all look old and handsome, with a bit of the elegance of a swordsman in their Taoist style. Who knows how handsome he must have been when he was young.

Considering the era in which this predecessor lived, a handsome and cool swordsman, oh, who is also 100% capable of picking up girls.

If you think this way, then you will probably be able to write poetry.

In addition, he has his own background and identity.

Wen Yan didn't dare to imagine how popular the senior would be at that time.

After Wen Yan changed his mind, he suppressed the gossip in his heart and began to ponder another problem.

Logically, he should chase after him immediately.

But I finally met a big shot who has already ascended to heaven, and his projection can still remain in my old dream, but I just let it go. How can I find such an opportunity next time?

The most important point is that Wen Yan is very sure that from the time period of the old dream under his feet to the time when this senior ascends to heaven, there must be some time left.

So, here, a projection, after seeing Wen Yan was Lieyang, immediately realized that this was an old dream.

He also knew that he later ascended to heaven, and at the same time knew his thoughts and actions when he ascended.

In other words, the projection here should be a replica of the moment when the old Taoist completely ascended to heaven and lost his self-consciousness.

If you don't want to take advantage of the situation, what are you waiting for?
"Senior, I just thought about it. You and my sister have a long history, so there are many things that cannot be explained in just a few words.

If I bring a message and it causes some misunderstanding, that would be really bad.”

The old Taoist turned his head and looked at Wen Yan, waiting for Wen Yan's next words.

"This time, my Yin Spirit is tracking that evil creature.

It just so happens that that evil creature also has a little bit of my sister's power.

That guy used this stolen power, and in the end he would be bitten back by it.

The senior also said that the guy would appear in the old dreams that possessed this kind of power.

Is there a possibility that the place where my sister is is the place with the strongest power in the entire ancient dream world?

Is there a possibility that that guy will eventually show up at my sister's place?

If that were the case, he would not be able to turn the tables.

When the time comes, I will talk to my sister, and she will definitely be able to find time to cross the line and come.

By then, senior will be able to see my godsister again, and if there are any misunderstandings, we can talk openly.

In this way, some of the regrets can be made up.

Senior, you said, right? "

The old Taoist looked at Wen Yan with sincerity, as if he was really happy for thinking of this more perfect method.

The old Taoist was speechless for a long time.

"Senior, you also think this method is very good, right?

Although my sister's awake time is limited, if the thief runs to her place.

It will definitely wake up my godsister, and then she can suppress it with just a flip of her hand.

Now that you're awake, take the opportunity to do something else. I'll lead the way, come sit here.

It shouldn’t be that difficult, right?”

"Pinyin... Pinyin..." The old Taoist just opened his mouth and uttered two words, not knowing what to say, then he saw Wen Yan smiling, revealing two rows of white teeth.

“Senior, there is no need to be so surprised. Let’s save this surprise for later.

As a junior, the Tianshi Mansion has taught me a lot, and I have a close friend with a brother in the Tianshi Mansion.

This is what the younger generation should do.

As a junior, if you see your seniors feeling regretful but do nothing about it, are you still a human being?

Senior, no need to be polite, I will take care of this matter!"

Wen Yan spoke impassionedly, and his tone became more determined the more he spoke. He now really felt that this approach was feasible.

Just as he was about to continue speaking, the old Taoist had a complicated expression, put a hand on his shoulder, and spoke earnestly.

"My dear nephew... No, my dear brother, please don't bother me like this."

There can't be a generation difference. If there is a generation difference, and someone tells others, what if the Snake Mother finds out...

Then in the eyes of the Snake Mother, doesn't that mean he is of a higher generation than the Snake Mother?
"Don't let this evil spirit disturb your sister.

If she was disturbed, something bigger might happen.

Why don't you tell me first, what the evil spirit is.

Over time, many uncommon things may have been lost in record.

It’s hard to say. The records have some deviations during the process of being circulated.

Or maybe, many solutions and the things that are solved are called differently now.

Tell me first, I might have some ideas.

Since you are my old friend's youngest brother and I have the chance to meet you, I naturally cannot just stand by and watch.

Furthermore, it is also our duty to eliminate demons and defend the Way, and to slay monsters and punish evildoers.”

The old Taoist priest spoke more sincerely than Wen Yan, with a blazing gaze, and the demeanor of a righteous man.

Wen Yan was deeply moved and he believed it.

"But, I'm afraid that you can't leave this old dream, so you can't help me."

The old Taoist wanted to correct something, he just gave theoretical support and would not participate in actual action.

But looking at Wen Yan's expression, he sighed and gave up.

When he ascended to heaven that year, he actually felt regretful.

At that time, he even felt that since the contemporary Heavenly Master had not ascended to heaven, he definitely had no chance.

But he is really talented in some aspects and has sufficient accumulation.

Having accomplished the feat of making the fake come true, it was absolutely no difficulty to ascend to the heavens.

He also knew what ascending to heaven after death meant.

It is impossible to say that I have no regrets.

He had no regrets. At this moment, he would not talk about these things with Wen Yan, and he would not be afraid of Wen Yan inviting the snake mother.

The old Taoist thought about it and realized that when he was alive, all his skills, especially the core ones, could not be passed on to the disciples of Tianshi Mansion at all.

Because the other disciples don't have even a trace of the Snake Mother's power.

I felt sorry about this at that time, and I was even more unwilling for people from the Tianshi Mansion to disturb the Snake Mother.

In the end, he just left some information in heaven while his self-consciousness had not completely dissipated, which could barely be considered a win-win solution.

"If you encounter difficulties elsewhere, you can open an altar and perform a ritual, using the wooden hairpin as a guide and calling my Dharma name, and I will lend you a helping hand."

"But, Senior, I cannot practice Taoism, and I have not yet been ordained, so I cannot perform rituals."

“…” The old Taoist frowned slightly and looked at Wen Yan’s hand.

Wen Yan raised his hands.

"This is a divine scroll. I couldn't cultivate Taoism, and later I was cursed. My martial arts path was cut off, so I could only open up the path of a cultivator on my own."

"..."

The old man's silence was deafening.

After a long time, his expression changed and finally turned into a long sigh.

"Forget it, this is fate." The old Taoist stretched out a hand and touched Wen Yan's forehead.

In an instant, changes appeared on the third stone door in Wen Yan's mind.

At that time, Huibu was loyal and took the Chunjun mace and the Tianshi magic sword with him when he went up the Shimen.

Today, there is a relief on the stone gate that shows a sword wrapped in gray cloth.

Now, the sword-shaped relief suddenly lit up.

A sword-shaped shadow flew out from the stone gate, and in an instant flew out from between Wen Yan's eyebrows, hanging in front of Wen Yan.

The old Taoist stretched out his finger and tapped rapidly on the sword-shaped phantom. Lines that Wen Yan could not understand appeared, and a large number of densely packed small characters were constantly engraved on it, and then rapidly shrank and turned into part of the lines.

The old Taoist said nothing, and worked for half an hour before retracting his sword.

The sword-shaped shadow also flew back and appeared on the stone gate.

"This is what I learned from my practice. You can use it as a reference.

If you encounter..."

The old Taoist thought about it carefully and said.

“If you encounter any situation where you need your sister’s help or rescue, just draw an altar on the ground, light some incense, and call me by my real name. My Dharmakāya will definitely lend you a helping hand.

Remember, my real name is Zhang Mingcheng."

"Okay, senior, I'll remember that."

Wen Yan nodded and thought, as expected, in the records of the Tianshi Mansion, or in other words, in the records that the black box can find, this name is not there at all.

"Don't call me senior, you are one generation behind me."

"Okay, Brother Zhang."

"Tell me about that evil spirit."

At this point, Wen Yan took the opportunity to talk about it, and also shared his own guesses and other people's guesses.

After hearing this, Zhang Mingcheng frowned.

Obviously, he also felt that Wen Yan's previous idea of ​​asking the Snake Mother for help if they couldn't catch it was actually quite reliable.

In other words, this is the most reliable approach.

The difficulty lies in how to lure that thing over, and by the way, wake up the snake mother before it runs away, or as Wen Yan said, end the state of being immersed in the play.

“Don’t think about the past, the timing is too critical and basically impossible.

Once you fail, it will be impossible to solve the problem with the same method again.

The evil spirit is not living in the old dream at all. He should have been at the junction of the present world and the old dream.

Before, I was probably just chased into my old dream by your weird ghost spirit.

If you chase them yourself, it will be too dangerous and you will probably get lost..."

"Brother Zhang, I'm not really afraid of getting lost. My aunt will show me the way."

"There are some places that are beyond human reach. There is nothing there, not even air to breathe..."

"Brother Zhang, I've been to that kind of place before. It's not a big problem. The divine treasure scroll I have can handle it."

The old Taoist fell silent.

After a long time, the topic suddenly changed.

“Since you are already a disciple of Buyeo and Qingcheng, and now you have inherited my teachings, you can be considered a disciple of Tianshi Mansion.

After you go back, remember to tell the contemporary Heavenly Master.

Just say what I said, and ask you to go to the ancestral temple and burn three incense sticks in person.

Call me by my Dharma name and show you the sword skills I taught you.

By then, you will have a new Dharma name and be considered a disciple of the Heavenly Master's Mansion."

Wen Yan blinked, didn't refuse, and nodded.

Seeing Wen Yan nod, the old Taoist smiled.

"Okay, if that's the case, go ahead and chase after me.

First tire out the enemy, then show him weakness and lure him into the open world.

Only in this world can we completely eliminate this evil spirit that deceives the world and steals reputation.

At the same time, the imperial court and scholars must advertise this evil to the world.

Tell He Bo that this evil spirit stole your name..."

The old Taoist gave Wen Yan a lot of ideas in one breath, asking him to refer to them or to experiment with them.

Anyway, the process of the experiment is to show weakness to the enemy every time and nourish the enemy's arrogance.

As long as there is one success, the problem will be solved.

As long as He Bo does not die, things will not develop in the worst, irreversible direction.

The sky brightened again and the night was over.

Later, Wen Yan had a very pleasant conversation with the old Taoist priest and asked him a lot of questions.

Although Wen Yan cannot copy most of the old Taoist's experience in cultivation, it is still of great value for reference.

Wen Yan also held a sword and practiced the basics under the guidance of the old Taoist.

This is not a tactic, it is purely for the purpose of developing a sense of combat.

When the sun began to rise in the sky, the old Taoist patted Wen Yan's shoulder.

“It’s almost over here, you go.

If you were born a thousand years earlier, perhaps you would not have followed the path of Buyeo Old Thirteen.

Don't care so much about what those guys think.

What's the point of taking the imperial examination? I also took the imperial examination in my day.

In the end, it’s just as useless if it’s not.”

"Brother Zhang, I don't quite agree with what you said. In fact, if the Thirteenth Ancestor hadn't walked that path, my current experience might be completely different. Failure is not without value."

The old Taoist nodded.

Indeed, if it weren't for the actions of the Thirteenth Ancestor of Buyeo in the past, Lieyang would not have had such a status later.

The scorching sun, after all, is actually not a very strong ability.

"Let's go, the sun is about to rise. If we don't leave now, we'll have to start all over again."

The old Taoist priest personally sent Wen Yan away and watched him disappear into the distance.

He stood at the gate of Tianshi Mansion, looking in the distance in the direction where Wen Yan disappeared, feeling quite satisfied.

One of the regrets he left behind during his lifetime has now been resolved.

He was very satisfied with Wen Yan, and was very dissatisfied with the practice of others who forced Wen Yan to read more books and study more but did not teach him combat tactics.

He felt that the fist had to be hard and the sword had to be sharp, and then he could talk about other things.

When the sun rises and shines on the earth, it is like a curtain covering everything, and the whole old dream begins to reset in the light.

On the other side, Wen Yan has walked out of the old dream and returned to the real world.

He still listened to the advice. Since it was useless to chase in the old dream, he came back to digest his gains.

If the false god wants to play, let him go crazy.

Let the false god chase that guy like a mad dog.

As long as that guy is busy and has to keep running away, Wen Yan can do a lot of things outside.

He already has a lot of ideas now, and he will verify them slowly.

Now, let’s go and see the old master.
