Chapter 371: A Person with Great Cultivation
Chapter 371: A Person with Great Cultivation
The old Taoist priest was about fifty or sixty years old, with gray hair tied into a Taoist bun, a thin face, sharp eyes, a slight goatee, and wore a tattered Taoist robe full of patches.
Although he had a good appearance, the old Taoist priest looked a little unserious because of a thumb-sized black mole on his left cheek.
But these did not affect Lu Chen's ability to recognize the old Taoist priest.
Because this old Taoist priest was none other than the old Taoist priest that Lu Chen met by chance when he was shopping in Yunluo City.
At that time, the old Taoist priest set up a stall and sold a wide variety of items. Seeing that he didn't have much business, Lu Chen just bought a bracelet.
It was also because of this bracelet that when Liao Wei cut the tendons in his hands and feet, the bracelet turned into countless golden particles and flowed into his body.
Not only did it cure his injuries, but it also made his dantian and meridians different from those of ordinary people, and he also obtained the heaven-defying treasure of the Golden Pearl World.
So Lu Chen had always wanted to find the old Taoist priest who was selling things on the street. The last time he went back to Yunluo City, Lu Chen went to Zhuque Street to look for him.
However, I didn't find any trace of the old Taoist priest. I didn't expect to meet this old Taoist priest in Taibai City in the world of cultivation today.
How could this not surprise Lu Chen? However, at this time, Lu Chen also realized that the old Taoist priest actually had the cultivation base of the late stage of foundation building.
While I was extremely shocked, I also laughed at myself for being blind and not recognizing the true God.
"Senior! Do you still remember me?" Lu Chen walked over and smiled happily, as if he had met a relative.
"Hehehe...Fellow Daoist! You may have recognized the wrong person. If you want to read faces and tell fortunes, I can help you.
If you want to borrow spirit stones, I, the old Taoist priest, have not even opened my shop yet, so I am afraid I can’t help you.”
The old Taoist glanced at Lu Chen with a squint, and seeing that he seemed familiar with him, he spoke cautiously.
"Uh..." Lu Chen was stunned for a moment when he heard this. It turned out that the old Taoist priest thought he was someone who was deliberately trying to get close to him and borrow spirit stones from him.
"Hehehe... Senior, you misunderstood. I am not here to borrow spirit stones from you. Please look at me carefully and think about Yunluo City in the mortal world.
You were selling things on the street there... I bought a bracelet... Think about it... What do you think? Do you remember anything?"
Lu Chen gestured with his hands and recounted his experience at that time, hoping to give some hints to the old Taoist priest in front of him.
After hearing this, the old Taoist priest looked at Lu Chen as if he had suddenly realized something, and then said affirmatively: "I still can't remember it! Taoist friend, you must have recognized the wrong person."
"How could this happen? Did I really recognize the wrong person?" Lu Chen thought disappointedly when he heard this.
He looked at the old Taoist priest carefully again and found that this man looked exactly like the old Taoist priest in his memory. How could he have made a mistake?
"Hehehe...Fellow Daoist, do you want to have your fortune told? I can tell you very accurately. If it's not accurate, I won't charge you a penny."
At this time, the old Taoist priest smiled awkwardly, as if he was unwilling to miss Lu Chen's business.
"Okay! Then just help me take a look!" Lu Chen said with a casual smile.
In fact, he just said this, and he didn't expect the old Taoist priest, a charlatan, to say anything good.
Then, he took out a storage bag, which contained about 100,000 medium-grade spirit stones and some other cultivation resources and handed it to the old Taoist priest.
Regardless of whether this old Taoist priest is really the old Taoist priest who sold the bracelet to him, since they look so similar and he happened to meet them, it can be considered a kind of fate.
In order to feel at ease, Lu Chen gave some resources to the old Taoist priest and turned away.
After the old Taoist priest took the storage bag, he immediately showed a look of surprise after checking it with his spiritual sense.
Then he looked up and saw that Lu Chen had already left. He quickly chased after him and stopped him, saying with a smile:
"Hehehe...Fellow Daoist! Since you paid so many spirit stones, why are you leaving?
How about this! I won't take advantage of you, I'll just say something to you!
The golden pearls of the alien from outer space appear, and the bitter bamboo brings them together.
Forget about love and forget about the world, with a heart as solid as a rock, outside the pure land of Brahma,
The chaotic causal world is sealed, and the purple fire burns the sky and the god appears.
"
Lu Chen, who was stopped, didn't take it seriously at first, but the old Taoist's words seemed to have magic power, echoing directly in his mind.
After hearing this, Lu Chen was stunned as if he was struck by lightning.
Seeing this, the old Taoist looked at Lu Chen meaningfully, then left quietly and soon disappeared in the crowd.
The golden pearls of the alien from outer space appear, and the bitter bamboo brings them together.
Forget about love and forget about the world, with a heart as solid as a rock, outside the pure land of Brahma,
The chaotic causal world is sealed, and the purple fire burns the sky and the god appears.
Lu Chen stood blankly on the street of Taibai City, lost in thought, the words of the old Taoist priest kept echoing in his mind.
Sometimes his face showed joy, sometimes confusion, and sometimes he seemed to suddenly realize something, standing on the street like a fool.
Although the monks passing by were surprised, they did not pay too much attention to Lu Chen's strange behavior.
Occasionally, a cultivator almost collided with Lu Chen, and they all took the initiative to avoid him.
After a long time, Lu Chen woke up as if from a dream, and looked around anxiously, looking for the figure of the old Taoist priest.
But apart from the endless stream of people, there was no trace of the old Taoist priest.
If Lu Chen didn't know the old Taoist's extraordinary cultivation at this time, then he would be a pig.
Because the old Taoist's words revealed all of Lu Chen's secrets.
Especially the first line: "A foreign guest's golden pearls appear, and a bitter bamboo ties the knot."
Lu Chen was the only one who knew that he was from Earth, and it was also the biggest secret in his heart.
And heaven-defying treasures like the Golden Bead World and Bitter Bamboo are also Lu Chen's top secrets and he has never mentioned them to anyone.
Not only did the old Taoist priest get the answer right, but he also didn't even take a peek at his treasures. What kind of state of mind was this? Did he look down on these treasures? Or did he just disdain them?
All of this Lu Chen couldn't figure out, but from the second half of the sentence "Bitter bamboo is the bond of fate",
Lu Chen guessed that Miss Zixuan should not be dead, but he just didn't know where she was.
The next sentence: "Forget about love and have a heart as solid as a rock, and go to the pure land of Brahma."
Lu Chen couldn't understand the first half of the sentence, and the second half should be news about Ye Rushuang, Zhou Hongfu and others.
And the last sentence "The chaotic causal world is sealed, the purple fire burns the sky and the god appears"
Lu Chen became even more confused and couldn't understand it at all.
However, no matter what, Lu Chen came to an important conclusion, that is, the old Taoist priest is not as simple as he seems.
It’s a pity that the old Taoist priest has left, otherwise I would definitely pester him and ask for more information from him.
"Have you heard? Yesterday, a female cultivator participated in the Dandao Tower Trial for the first time and was directly listed on the list, pushing Leng Jiahao, who was ranked 99th, off the list."
Just as Lu Chen came to his senses and was about to leave, he happened to hear two passing cultivators discussing matters concerning the Dandao Tower.
"Of course I heard about it. It is said that the female cultivator is not only beautiful, but also has the initial stage of Golden Core.
In a short time, the name Juechen spread quickly. I believe that it won’t be long before this female cultivator Juechen will be famous throughout the Central Plains.”
Another monk echoed.
"Juechen? Juechen? Forgetful Juechen's Rock-Solid Heart? Could it be related to this Juechen?" Lu Chen murmured in his heart after hearing that.
Then his eyes lit up, and he quickly ran to the two monks to stop them, saying with a smile:
"Hehehe... Fellow Taoists, please stay!"
