When I was a Taoist

Chapter 682 Destined 1
We didn't go to Kyoto, but flew directly to a remote city in the north, and then changed to a bus to drive towards the countryside.I looked at the scenery on the road more and more casually, until finally when we arrived at the gate of the village, I was stunned.

"Could it be that this is destined? It seems that there is no choice this time no matter what."

I smiled bitterly, I didn't expect this small village to be the place where I retrieved Qingfeng back then.I still remember that there is a mysterious ancient tomb in the mountains behind the village, and the Qingfeng in my hand was taken away from this ancient tomb that year.And there is also my agreement there, as long as I can defeat the ghost guarding the ancient tomb, I can get in touch with the real core information about my family!
I originally planned to wait until the end of this time, and then find here to fulfill my promise.Unexpectedly, God brought me here in the dark. It seems that this time I am destined to unravel the secret of my life experience.

When I think of this, I can't hold back my excitement.Fan Chen looked at me a little strangely, and said: "What's wrong with you, it's not like you haven't been here before, is there any need to be so excited?"

"You don't understand, it means something different to me." I smiled and said.

This village has been requisitioned by the Taoist Association, and the villagers here have basically gone to other places to rebuild their homes. I have to admire the Taoist Association's handwriting, it is really heroic.After we settled in the village, Shangguanmu took out a map, drew a place on it, and said: "This is where we found the entrance. Someone has been watching, but no one can approach it. Not to mention going in. Whether you can find the secret of the ancient tomb is up to the four of you."

I nodded, but my eyes kept searching on the map.Shangguanmu seemed to know what I was looking for, drew another circle on it, and said in a low voice: "This is the ancient tomb you discovered at the beginning. We also considered that these two ancient tombs may be connected. But after I went down I found that this place is also separated by a mysterious force, and I dare not forcefully break through this barrier, so I can only ask you to help. You are the only one who found the treasure in the ancient tomb back then, I think you should be qualified Enter."

"Senior, I can't guarantee that I will be able to go in, but I will try my best."

The four of us had a good night's rest first, and set off for the back mountain early the next morning.Shangguanmu originally wanted me to take a look at the newly discovered mysterious passage first, but I refused, and said sincerely: "Senior, I vaguely feel that there is not the key, the ancient tomb I went to for the first time is the most important place. If you trust me, feel free to leave it to me to do it.”

Without the slightest hesitation, Shangguanmu patted me on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You little guy, you have always been able to surprise me. I have never been disappointed in you. Why don't you believe me? Do it with confidence. Well, even if you fail, I will support you when the sky falls!"

"Thank you senior!"

With Shangguanmu's words, I felt more confident and led the team to the back mountain.After so many years, the scenery on the mountain has changed a lot. Thanks to the Daoist Association who deliberately paved a road pointing to the ancient tomb, we successfully arrived at the entrance of the ancient tomb.

"This is the ancient tomb you found back then. Since you left, it has been protected by the headquarters, and people from Tianji will never be allowed to approach. But it's strange, this ancient tomb seems to have been closed automatically after you left, maybe It was caused by who of you activated what mechanism."

While explaining, Shangguanmu pointed to the entrance and said: "This is here, and now it has been blocked by an invisible barrier, and no one can get in. You should find a way to try, otherwise we can only use force gone."

"Absolutely not! Even if we can't get in here, we absolutely can't destroy this place!" I shook my head quickly and said.

Shangguanmu smiled wryly, and could only say helplessly: "Then you do your best, I hope to know the secrets hidden here. It's not for my own benefit, if I let Tianji and those bastards take the first step, maybe it's true. It’s like giving them a big gift.”

"Senior, don't worry, if I can't even get in, they have absolutely nothing to do."

I didn't try to enter directly, but went around and came to a small hill above the ancient tomb.Standing on a high place and looking down, the earnest teachings of Senior Mochizuki sounded in my ears again.

At that time, I was just a kid who had just entered the Daoist Society, my knowledge was still shallow, and I didn't even belong to Qingfeng.But now, I have become a well-known member of the headquarters, and even Shangguanmu believes that I will soon become the mainstay of the headquarters.Even the guardians of Tianji hate and fear me.

I have finally come to where I am today, but Mochizuki-senpai has gone to another world, and Gao Liang has disappeared without a trace.How much I want them to see my current achievements and make them proud of me once.

Just when I was immersed in the memory, Shangguanmu walked up to me and said: "You have realized Mochizuki's dream in this life, and you have come to the headquarters instead of Gao Liang. Although they can't see your achievements now, But I believe they already had confidence in you, and all of this may be within their expectations."

"Senior, have you received any news about my master recently?" I turned to look at Shangguanmu and asked.

Shangguanmu was silent. When I couldn't help asking again, he sighed and said, "I didn't intend to tell you so early, but you are his most beloved apprentice, and you have grown up too. You are qualified to know some things. But you have to remember, you must rot everything I told you today, otherwise Gao Liang may be in danger."

"I promise I won't tell the second person, senior, please tell me quickly!" I was so anxious that my hands trembled a little. After such a long time, I finally knew the whereabouts of Gao Liang!

Shangguanmu put his hands behind his back, looked at the scenery in the distance, and said slowly: "You also know that he lost a lot of life for you. In addition, his own Taoism was sealed, which is very important for him. It is undoubtedly worse. If there is no way to continue your life, you will die in less than five years. It is said that there is a treasure somewhere that can make bones and flesh, and make the dying person heal instantly. As long as Gao Liang can If he finds this thing, his life span will of course be restored, and it will outlive us all!"
