Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 741 A Poem for the Occasion
In the huge cabin, only Niu Dali and Chen Mu were left.

"There comes a day..."

The sound seemed to still be echoing. Niu Dali's eyes were as sharp as a torch. He picked up the wine cup and drank it all in one gulp.

"You are stronger than me, much stronger."

After a period of silence, Niu Dali spoke again, with a flash of memories in his eyes.

"As early as the first time we met, I felt that you were better than me."

Chen Mu couldn't help but smile and jokingly said, "You and I were still ignorant children back then, how could you have such thoughts?"

Niu Dali glared and said with a click of his tongue, "How could I possibly lie to you? That was the first time you and I soared through the sky. I looked calm on the outside, but I was terrified inside. But I can see that you're truly indifferent to it. Just that state of mind alone is much better than mine..."

Chen Mu smiled without saying anything, and also picked up the wine cup and took a sip.

Since Niu Dali wanted to talk, he just let him talk to his heart's content.

"And when it comes to checking qualifications, ordinary people would sigh and lament when they see they only have low-grade qualifications, and they'd like to have it checked again, but you just take it easy...

Not to mention the first time you and I went out to chase the enemy..."

Niu Dali did not stop for a moment, and became more and more excited as he spoke, until he finally came to a conclusion.

"You are better than me. One day, you will become the best in the world..."

Looking at Niu Dali's confident words, Chen Mu couldn't help but chuckle and nodded, saying, "Then I'll take your kind words."

It had been a long time since the two of them had a conversation like this. Sometimes they talked about general matters, sometimes about interesting things, their memories echoed each other, and their words were intertwined.

It wasn't until the moon was bright in the sky, at the turn of the zodiac, that Niu Dali suddenly fell silent. After a long pause, he said slowly and solemnly, "Xiao Kui... more than ten years ago, his time was up, and he passed away..."

Chen Mu was shocked and frowned, saying, "Xiao Kui may not have achieved the Great Dao, but he still had the Qi Condensation cultivation. His lifespan should have been around 120 years. How could he have passed away like this?"

Niu Dali sighed deeply: "Xiao Kui had a daughter in his old age, and the child is quite talented. In order to make her career smooth, Xiao Kui and his wife have been traveling all year round to accumulate resources.

He didn't want to trouble us, so he got himself into a lot of trouble. By the time I found out, it was too late to save him..."

"This is all my fault. I'm the eldest brother, but I didn't notice it sooner..."

Chen Mu also blamed himself in his heart. After seeking the truth, is it really true that there is no chance for him to find any loophole?

Even if I feel regret, it is inevitable that this matter will become a regret.

He shook his head and sighed, then asked, "What about Xiaoshuang?"

"Xiao Shuang is at a slightly higher level than me, and she is doing fine now. I wanted to take her to the sect, but she insisted on staying at home..." Niu Dali replied.

Chen Mu nodded: "That's fine, let's just follow her wishes."

Niu Dali also nodded, and then his eyes flashed, and he forced a smile and said, "Speaking of which, our niece is indeed quite talented. She is now practicing under me. In just over twenty years, she has already established a foundation for the Tao."

"Oh?"

Chen Mu's heart moved. Although he had never seen this niece before and this was the first time he heard of her, he still felt a little more gratified.

"If Xiao Kui knew about this in the afterlife, he would definitely drink a cup..."

The two brothers smiled silently, raised their cups together, and touched them to the moonlit night...

At the same time, a figure approached outside the cabin.

After walking to the bright place, a beautiful woman in a dark green dress with phoenix pattern and jade hairpins appeared.

The woman looked to be about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with a plump figure, pretty face and fair skin. She was now wandering outside the door, perhaps sensing that there were other people inside, so she was hesitating whether to knock on the door to pay a visit.

Chen Mu and the others noticed something. Niu Dali immediately smiled and said, "My former lover has come to visit me. Should I avoid her?"

Chen Mu knew he was joking and asked jokingly, "Fellow Daoist She, are we just good friends?" Niu Dali laughed heartily and said, "Of course not. Fellow Daoist She has also helped me a lot."

As he spoke, he stood up, nodded to Chen Mu, and turned away.

After opening the door, he happened to meet She Yingtan's eyes.

She Yingtan pursed her lips and smiled, "Why, I didn't disturb you, did I?"

Niu Dali immediately shook his head and said loudly, "Why would I bother you? I'm so happy!"

He made way, strode away with his head shaking, and in an instant turned around the corridor and disappeared into the shadows.

She Yingtan withdrew her gaze, couldn't help but chuckle, and walked into the room with light steps.

"My humble servant greets Chen Shangzhen." She bowed deeply.

Chen Mu raised his lips slightly and said, "Fellow Daoist She, are you going to be so reserved?"

Hearing this, She Yingtan smiled sweetly and spoke again, "Brother Daoist, I am truly surprised. In just a hundred years, you have advanced from the Foundation Establishment Stage to the Nascent Soul Stage. Even in the Floating Mountains and Long Rivers, you must be a top talent, right?"

Chen Mu smiled and said in a clear voice, "In fact, it's because of different circumstances. If Fellow Daoist She were in a large sect, he would have already achieved the Golden Core Great Perfection and would have a chance to achieve the Great Dao."

He could see that although She Yingtan had also completed the foundation building, Dan Qi was already secretly generating in his body. He only needed to return to the mountain to meditate in silence and take the spiritual objects that could form the Dan, so that he could form the Dan in one fell swoop.

Her talent and situation are better than Zong Bing's...

She Yingtan sighed secretly and muttered, "If I had known that my brother's cultivation would advance so quickly, I would have worked hard to cultivate and form a golden elixir sooner..."

This is not wrong. The resources of the Beast Taming Sect are better than those of Shuiyunjian. If she can concentrate on practicing, even if her realm is not as good as Niu Dali and others, it will definitely not be much different.

Chen Mu comforted him after hearing this: "There is still a long way to go. It is not too late for Daoist She to change his mind now."

Speaking of which, Niu Dali has given up the idea of ​​going any further and only wants to stay in Zhao State and Shuiyunjian for the rest of his life.

He didn't want to force it, but he couldn't help feeling a little regretful.

Now that he saw that She Yingtan still had the desire to seek the truth, he naturally wanted to support her with all his strength.

She Yingtan agreed with this and stared at Chen Mu. Her voice became softer and softer until it was almost inaudible.

"To prevent the gap between you and me from growing wider... There are so many things I want to say, but I can't say them..."

Chen Mu was thinking about how to help She Yingtan when he vaguely heard these words. He paused for a moment and asked, "What did Fellow Daoist She say?"

She Yingtan smiled softly, but didn't answer. She just looked away and asked casually, "Brother, do you still remember the second time we met?"

"the second time?"

Chen Mu smiled slightly as he recalled the past, "Of course I remember. My mortal brother was getting married at that time, and I happened to see you escaping from the sect."

She Yingtan lowered her eyes and smoothed her skirt, saying, "Yes, at that time, in order to conceal the fluctuations of my magical power, I ran into someone else's house, and with great effort, I climbed over the wall, and then..."

At this point, her expression paused slightly, and she slowly raised her eyes to look at Chen Mu: "Then I saw Brother Dao sitting high on the steed..."

Chen Mu didn't notice anything else, and nodded in praise, saying, "Time flies, and nearly a hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye."

She Yingtan bowed his head again and sighed softly, "Reminiscing about the past with my Taoist brother reminded me of a poem that fits the occasion."

She talked about this and that, just like Niu Dali just now...

Chen Mu smiled and continued, "Tell me about it?"

She Yingtan nodded slightly and murmured, "We looked at each other from afar on the wall... I forgot the last sentence, I'll tell you when I remember it..."
