Chapter 165: Dahua Sutra?
"Friend Dai." Liu Yuanhe asked in surprise, "Are you acquainted with this Taoist friend?"

Dai Xiangfei said, "Master Xu has given me a new life."

Xu Heng couldn't help but shook his head and said that what he said was too serious, but Dai Xiangfei's attitude remained very serious.

Liu Yuanhe was even more surprised when he saw this. He pondered for a while and said, "In this case, I will not disturb you two from reminiscing about the past."

Dai Xiangfei bowed gratefully, but Liu Yuanhe just waved his hand, smiled, turned around and left.

"This fellow Taoist is quite cool and unrestrained." Xu Heng said.

Dai Xiangfei said: "Fellow Daoist Liu has been living in seclusion in Songtao for what seems to be 40 to 50 years. He is indeed very free and easy."

Xu Heng was a little surprised. If a cultivator could not refine the golden elixir, he would only live for three hundred years at most. He had lived in seclusion for forty or fifty years. Did he mean that he had seen through the world?

Dai Xiangfei didn't know what Xu Heng was thinking. He led him to the pavilion in the mountains and said, "I heard that when Daoist Liu was young, he also experienced a lot of hardships and had the idea of ​​​​retreating from the world early on."

"Later, because his daughter became a disciple of Peng Xuan, he asked for a sinecure from the Peng Xuan sect and went to Song Tao Island to practice in seclusion."

Xu Heng smiled and said, "What about Patriarch Dai?"

Dai Xiangfei was stunned for a moment, then he gave a bitter smile and said, "In fact, there is no longer any patriarch. Please just call me by my name, Taoist priest."

Xu Heng nodded without any hesitation, "In that case, we should still call each other fellow Taoists."

Dai Xiangfei said, "Back then... I brought my younger brother Xiang Yang to Pengxuan to attend the Dharma Assembly, and was fortunate enough to become a disciple of Pengxuan..."

Xu Heng was surprised and asked, "So you have already become a disciple of Peng Xuan?"

"My younger brother is quite talented, fortunately he was appreciated by the elders. As for me, I am just a supplement, and was soon sent to Songtao Island to manage the spiritual fields." Dai Xiangfei smiled and said, "But it's good like this. This place is very quiet and it is really a place for cultivation."

"Besides, because of my father, there are also elders in the sect who take good care of me. They once taught me the Dharma and said that if I can practice diligently without stopping, I may achieve success in the future."

"Is that so?" Xu Heng said in a light tone. It was fine. He looked at the undulating pine waves and suddenly said, "I came to Songtao Island because of some destiny. It's a rare opportunity to meet fellow Taoists. Let's not delay this matter."

When Dai Xiangfei was wondering, he saw a scarlet jade pendant appear in Xu Heng's palm, and his heart was shocked.

"This, this is my father's magic weapon?" Dai Xiangfei asked in a trembling voice, "Where did the Taoist priest get it from?"

"It was found in the Nine Yin True Evils, from your father's corpse." Xu Heng gently placed the jade pendant on the table and said, "Now it can be considered as returning to its original owner."

Dai Xiangfei had already placed his hand on the jade pendant, but his fingertips trembled when he heard the words. He took a deep breath and then picked up the jade pendant.

Perhaps because he had seen Dai Zhiling's body through divine consciousness, Dai Xiangfei was silent for a long time before he said, "Thank you, Taoist Priest, for your great kindness. I really don't know how to repay you."

"It was just a casual thing. Besides." Xu Heng paused and said, "I am ashamed to say that I have read a Taoist book from your father..."

Dai Xiangfei shook his head and said, "The Taoist priest was able to return my father's body and bury him in peace. What does a mere Taoist book mean to him?"

Just a Taoist book? Since Xu Heng became a Taoist, he has been able to understand more and more how mysterious this method is. No wonder the author dared to say that it is a "world-shaking technique", but it is definitely not as simple as "just a Taoist book". Xu Heng pondered for a moment, his face became a little more serious, and said: "Daoist friends, don't underestimate it. In my opinion, the value of this Taoist book may even be higher than the true teachings of some major sects."

"In the future, whether you are practicing or inheriting from your family, it is best to be cautious."

Dai Xiangfei seemed to be in a daze for a moment, then he took out a thin jade box from the jade pendant, opened the Taoist book from it, and asked, "Is this the book you are talking about?"

Xu Heng said: "That's right."

Dai Xiangfei was even more surprised when he heard this. He picked up the Taoist book and read it carefully. He was still confused and said, "Isn't this Taoist book the most common "Da Hua Jing"? "

"What?" Xu Heng was slightly startled. He took the Taoist book in his hand and took a look. He realized that it had not been replaced. He suddenly felt a little absurd in his heart.

"My father has been carrying this volume of the Great Flower Sutra with him since I was young, and he often pondered over it." Dai Xiangfei said, and then he sighed, "Yes, what the Taoist said is right. This Taoist classic does contain profound truths..."

Seeing Dai Xiangfei's appearance, Xu Heng didn't think he was talking nonsense, so he remained silent for a moment.

He was not a short-sighted person and knew that there were indeed some similar things in the world of cultivation.

For example, some of the great sects’ secrets that are not passed down, unless you are the true disciple of the sect, or even have been granted the seal of the law, it is impossible to see the true appearance; for example, some ancient immortal palaces, only people with predestined relationships, or people with "qualifications" can obtain the inheritance...

Xu Heng even knew of several secret realms of immortal palaces that had been around for thousands or tens of thousands of years, but no one had inherited them. Today, they have even become well-known tourist attractions in the cultivation world. He had thought that if he had free time, he would definitely go there for a visit.

A Taoist book whose true appearance can only be seen by certain people, or a book in which different people see completely different contents?
It doesn't seem so incredible, but in this matter, am I playing the role of a 'destined person' or a 'qualified person'?
Xu Heng was silent for a long moment before he said, "In that case, fellow Taoist, please keep it well."

"Of course." Dai Xiangfei was not too ignorant. He vaguely knew that there seemed to be some secrets hidden in the 'Da Hua Jing', but he did not say much. He just said, "Please rest assured, Taoist priest. I understand the importance of this matter."

Xu Heng nodded and said nothing more. Dai Xiangfei saw that he was no longer interested in talking, so he put away the Dahua Sutra and prepared to say goodbye and leave.

But at the last moment, he seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then took out the scarlet jade pendant again.

"Why? Is there something wrong?" Xu Heng said, "In addition to the Great Hua Sutra, I also embezzled magic money and spiritual stones from your father's belongings, but I made up for the difference with ether and Tongbao."

"I am not suspicious of this." Dai Xiangfei said hurriedly: "Besides, it is just a small amount of money. I am very grateful to the Taoist priest for returning my father's body..."

He gritted his teeth, put the jade pendant back on the table, and said, "Master, please accept this magic weapon."

Xu Heng smiled and said, "I am not short of storage tools, so you should keep them for yourself."

"Master, you misunderstood." Dai Xiangfei said, "This magic weapon has a secondary purpose of storing things. It needs to be refined with a special method to have the ability to replace death once."

"I am now in seclusion to cultivate myself. If I keep this magical instrument in my hands, it will be no different from a bright pearl covered in dust."

"Therefore, I hope that you will accept it. It will be a small token of my appreciation."
