Chapter 37
The effect of the truth talisman is that what the person says is true to him, but it cannot guarantee that the truth in the other person's cognition is the fact.
It's like a brainwashed girl who feels that her parents love her very much. She firmly believes that her parents have given her a lot of love, so she will leave all the family property to her younger brother in the future. This is the fact in her cognition, but objectively speaking, her parents left the family property to her younger brother, and raised her just to be a nanny and ATM for her younger brother, which is not love for her at all.
But even if such a girl is given a truth teller, she will insist that her parents love her, because she is not lying, that's what she believes.
Su Yun originally thought that Yu Ming must know some relevant clues. Even if it was not the whole truth, it could at least give Su Yun a direction for investigation. But after listening to what Yu Ming said, she suddenly realized something - with Yu Ming's personality, could she have been deceived?
Arrogant and stupid people never admit their mistakes. Yu Ming even refused to admit that the Jingling Sect's cultivation method required dual cultivation, and he kept insulting the Jingling Sect. How could he be willing to admit that the information he knew was false?
Even if it was not completely false, but half true and half false, it would greatly affect Su Yun's decision to seek revenge. How embarrassing would it be if he found the wrong person or failed to take revenge?
So when Su Yun saw that he was about to bite his tongue to commit suicide, he quickly sent a message to Che Xuming, telling him directly that the funeral home had captured Yu Ming and fed him a truth-spitting talisman, and that there were melons here, so come quickly.
Che Xuming was sleeping late at night. As long as Taoists like them were not out taking on work, their work and rest schedules were more stable than Su Yun's. The news from Su Yun bombarded Che Xuming's senior and junior brothers, who were woken up at the same time. There were many of them, so they went to notify the master while coming over to watch the show.
Su Yun was kind enough to give the first-line VIP seats and directly made a video call. As soon as the two ends were connected, the young Taoist priest from Jingling Sect and the legendary defector Uncle Yu Ming suddenly came face to face, staring at each other.
Che Xuming's fellow apprentices were particularly mean, crowding in front of the camera and muttering all sorts of things, saying things like "So this is the uncle who defected", "He doesn't look special", and he seems to be very old...
Everyone was talking at once, and Su Yun felt angry after hearing what was said, not to mention Yu Ming who had a bad temper.
Yu Ming was so angry that his face was twisted. He had the urge to fight Su Yun: "You, you...Su Yun, I'm going to tell you the truth, why do you still want to find someone to humiliate me! There's no way to behave like you!"
Seeing Yu Ming's sad look, the young Taoist priests on the opposite side of the tablet also stopped and looked at each other. They felt that it was not right to bully an old man like this, and Yu Ming looked very pitiful.
Su Yun didn't buy his tricks: "You are not much better than me. I always help others and never kill people. How many lives have you taken?"
After being reminded by Su Yun, the young Taoists realized that Yu Ming was just playing the victim in order to make them feel sorry for him and then maybe they would let him go.
"Besides, I'm doing this for your own good," Su Yun continued to deceive. "You think you're telling the truth after taking the truth talisman, but think about it carefully. Is it necessarily true if you're telling the truth? What if you get cheated and then continue to cheat me? To put it bluntly, you believe it when you see it's profitable. Who knows if it's a scam?"
"You - believe it or not! Is there anyone like you? You just asked, but you even got so many people to watch. What? Do you want to show off your ability?" Yu Ming pointed at the bunch of young people on the tablet and roared.
Su Yun didn't care whether he was angry or not: "I don't care. I spent so much effort to catch you. Of course I can't just listen to your one-sided words, in case there is a misunderstanding in the transmission. Now let's talk face to face, without the middleman making a profit from the price difference."
Under Su Yun's questioning, Yu Ming had no choice but to continue talking about the fate, but because he didn't want to be associated with Su Yun's fate, he kept speaking from his own perspective, always skirting around the subject, as if it could only be understood but not expressed in words, like those things on Big Eyes that cannot be said and would get his account blocked if said.
However, with the help of the Truth-Telling Talisman, Yu Ming still tried his best to make things clear, and at the same time hinted at Su Yun's connection with her.
Yu Ming heard from an old Taoist priest in Xingji Temple that the Jingling Sect had a special method to change destiny, but this method was not something that could change destiny simply by practicing it. The old Taoist priest didn't know the specific details, after all, it was a secret within the sect.
No matter how secret it is, outsiders have heard a little about the affairs of the Jingling Sect, that some techniques must be practiced simultaneously, that most of the disciples accepted have bad and rough fates, that any bad person can go to learn, and that many disciples have really changed their fate after learning and practicing. So there is a saying in Taoism - if you can't teach a future scum disciple well, it is better to send him to the Jingling Sect, and after transformation you will have an excellent disciple.
It's like a labor camp, and all kinds of problem teenagers are crammed in there.
Regardless, there are indeed many cases in the Jingling Sect among Taoists about people with bad fates who did not seem like good people, but were able to change their destiny and become outstanding disciples in the end.
With these cases, it is not difficult to guess the old Taoist's thoughts. He thinks his Taoist friend is right. It is really difficult to teach Yu Ming well just by them. When he enters the Taoist temple in the future, whether it is in the old Taoist's own Taoist temple or in Xingji Temple, once he learns the skills, who knows how many people he will kill. It is better to trick him into going to Jingling Sect first and let him transform himself there.
Although not all disciples of Jingling Sect have been successfully reformed, there are still traitors and scum disciples who may defect, but the probability is very low. Outsiders say that their messy skills may have allowed love to influence the garbage of society, so those scum with bad fate are willing to turn over a new leaf and rely on their own willpower to control themselves from doing bad things, just to accumulate merits for their Taoist partners.
The old Taoist said that he would need a long time to treat his illness, and he was old, so he didn’t know how many more years he could take care of Yu Ming. It would be better for him to go to Jingling Sect while he was still young. Even if he didn’t change his fate in the future, as long as he was obedient in Jingling Sect, the group of protective masters, uncles and aunts would definitely take care of him for the rest of his life.
Yu Ming was not interested in these. He just saw that the Taoists in Xingji Temple seemed to be very rich. He didn't know why these Taoists lived a hard life even though they were rich. In short, since Xingji Temple would not accept him, he would go to Jingling Gate to learn some skills first, and then change his fate and make money.
It happened that an elder from the Jingling Sect was preaching at the Xingji Temple at that time, and they were exchanging medical knowledge with each other. On the way back, the old Taoist priest asked him to take Yu Ming back with him. Then Yu Ming discovered that the damn Jingling Sect was even more remote than the old Taoist priest's temple.
After he said this, Che Xuming and other disciples became unhappy.
"Why do you say that our Jingling Sect is remote?"
"Exactly. How are we remote? We are still receiving parcels at the foot of the mountain! Who are you looking down on?"
"Jinglingmen is just on the mountain, not remote at all. We have running water and electricity, and the living environment is extremely good."
The young Taoist priests refuted Yu Ming one after another, saying that he was too arrogant to see how good his master was, which was no wonder he defected.
Yu Ming sneered: "What era are you in now? What era was I in back then? At that time, Jingling Sect was poor! It was remote! It was backward! A few stupid boys who haven't even grown all their hair told me these things! You guys shouldn't think too highly of Jingling Sect. To put it bluntly, Jingling Sect is the one that ruined your life!"
"How did Jinglingmen ruin our lives?"
Suddenly, a gentle and low male voice was heard. Su Yun looked up and saw an elegant middle-aged man standing not far away. He was wearing an ordinary black Taoist robe and no cassock. He looked like he had just come out for a walk and had nothing in his hands.
At this time, Che Xuming said from the tablet: "Master!"
The other young Taoist priests either followed suit and called him "Master" or "Master". It seemed that this was the current Master of Jingling Sect, and also the senior brother who untied Yu Ming and allowed him to escape - An Jinghe. The other party looked much younger than Yu Ming now. If you didn't look at his eyes, he looked to be in his early thirties. In terms of actual age, he was not much younger than the old man of the Wu family.
An Jinghe walked slowly to Yu Ming's side: "Junior brother, long time no see."
When the two are put together and compared, the difference is immediately apparent.
Different from Yu Ming's embarrassment and frustration, An Jinghe gives people a feeling of peace and elegance, as if he can control his emotions and handle them properly no matter what happens. People with stable emotions are always likable.
After not seeing each other for thirty years, Yu Ming and An Jinghe's appearance has not changed much, but their current situations and circumstances are completely different. Even if Yu Ming had not been locked up by Su Yun for so many days, he still could not compare with An Jinghe. Now An Jinghe is the leader of the Jingling Sect. In terms of identity, status, and cultivation, there has long been an unbridgeable gap between them.
Yu Ming just glanced at An Jinghe, looking like he didn't want to talk more.
An Jinghe was not angry at Yu Ming for ignoring her. Instead, she asked him gently, "Junior brother, you just said that Jingling Sect ruined our lives. What did you mean? Do you think we are not living well in Jingling Sect?"
"Isn't it? Do you think you are living a good life now? You are obviously a group of people, but you have to hang out with mountain goblins and monsters for dozens or even hundreds of years. Do you think you are still human?" Yu Ming said with a sneer, as if all the people in Jingling Sect were fools and he was the only one sober.
"Junior brother, you can't say that. Whether our Taoist partner is a human or a ghost, it is our own choice. There are also disciples in the sect who have found someone to be their Taoist partner. You can't just say that our Taoist partner is ruined because he is not human. We did it willingly." An Jinghe tried to reason with Yu Ming.
Yu Ming didn't care at all. He sneered and said, "What do you mean by willing? If you find an ordinary person as your Taoist partner, you won't be able to improve your cultivation. It means you won't be able to practice for the rest of your life, won't be able to make a name for yourself, and won't have the chance to become an elder or a sect master. You call that willing? That's called giving up!"
Facing Yu Ming's accusation, An Jinghe still did not get angry, but said: "But Junior Brother, people have to choose what to give up in order to gain something. Nothing is without a price. You can't have it all. Besides, we ourselves don't feel that our lives have been ruined, so how can you feel angry and indignant for us?"
The disciples on the other side of the tablet also joined in, especially Che Xuming, who shouted the loudest: "Master is right! What's the point of thinking about getting something for nothing all day long? You should get as much as you work hard!"
Yu Ming rolled his eyes and said, "There are so many of you. I won't argue with you. You haven't even experienced what a normal life is like. How can you know what you've given up? Su Yun, are you still going to listen?"
Probably because he felt that there was no point in arguing with a group of brainwashed people, Yu Ming finally remembered that there was Su Yun at the scene. When he saw the junior brother who let him leave Jingling Sect that year, Yu Ming's attitude suddenly became much better. It was not known whether he was afraid or simply felt ashamed.
Su Yun said to An Jinghe, "Master, please take a break first and listen to what else he has to say. If he has been deceived, it won't be too late for us to remind him."
An Jinghe tilted his head to look at Su Yun's face and nodded: "Okay, you should really need some clues about him now."
So An Jinghe walked to the side of the tablet, as if he was sitting with his apprentices to eat melon.
Yu Ming couldn't stand them and wanted Su Yun to drive them all away, but Su Yun reminded him - what if everything he knew was false? He didn't want to believe in the Jingling Sect's skills, so there was no guarantee that among the things he knew, there were not one or two things he had misunderstood.
After thinking it over, Yu Ming felt that now that he had fallen into the hands of the Jingling Sect, it would be difficult for him to escape. The funeral home didn't know what was going on, and he couldn't find a way to escape no matter what. He had to do whatever Su Yun said.
Under the gaze of everyone, Yu Ming gritted his teeth, suppressed his self-esteem, and told everyone what he knew.
When he was brought into the Jingling Sect by the elders, Yu Ming was only concerned about changing his fate. However, it seemed that no one in the entire Jingling Sect was specifically aiming to change their fate. Instead, they were focused on practicing and... finding a Taoist partner.
Yu Ming couldn't understand this at all. He was worried that he would appear too utilitarian and thus would not be liked by his masters, so he looked very well-behaved. But strangely, his progress was very slow, one could even say it was mediocre.
Because his progress was so slow, the teachers finally noticed him and asked him if there was something he didn't understand. Yu Ming took the opportunity to pretend to be sad and said he didn't know. He also asked if it was because he had poor talent or a bad fate that caused his progress to be so slow?
The teachers looked at each other and told him that the Jingling Sect's practice was very special and that in the future one would have to choose a non-human partner to practice dual cultivation with. Only then would the practice speed become faster. Yu Ming's progress was too slow at the beginning and everyone thought that he might not have much talent in this area. However, the Jingling Sect did not pay much attention to the speed of practice in the entry stage and as long as one found a partner later, the speed would increase.
When Yu Ming heard this, he thought this was a lie. Why would he choose a non-human partner?
But as Yu Ming gradually got into the sect, he could slowly see the mountain spirits and monsters running around in the Jingling Sect. He had to believe that what the teachers said was true, and that he also wanted to find such a partner in the future.
But he felt sick when he thought of those zombies, monsters, and evil spirits, especially when he went diving in the back mountain one time and saw an evil spirit covered in blood, with black nails and torn face. He almost vomited. After diving, he saw that the evil spirit had painted a beautiful skin for himself, and then returned to Jingling Gate and got together affectionately with a teacher who was giving a lecture.
Yu Ming was so disgusted that he couldn't sleep the whole night. He couldn't imagine that he would have to live with such an evil ghost in the future. He would vomit up his overnight meal if he looked at it for one more moment.
An Jinghe suddenly interrupted at this time: "So you asked for leave to leave Jinglingmen, saying that you were going back to visit the old Taoist priest, but you actually wanted to run away, right?"
"Hehe, I saw a human and an evil ghost kissing and sleeping together, why didn't I run? If I didn't run, I'd be a fool!" Yu Ming cursed, and it was obvious how much of a shock it was to see an evil ghost and a human together as a couple.
Che Xuming in the tablet coughed violently several times, especially when Yu Ming was speaking, he coughed as if his lungs were about to burst.
Yu Ming was annoyed when he heard this: "Kid, if you want to cough, just turn off the sound, it's so noisy!"
Jing Jing and calmly said for Che Xuming: "He coughed because I also practiced the way of ghosts. My Taoist partner is a ghost. After you lost track, I didn't give up looking for you. Later, I met my Taoist partner. My cultivation gradually improved, and I succeeded the previous sect master after he abdicated."
Hearing this, Yu Ming was choked. He didn't expect that An Jinghe would eventually choose a ghost. He thought that based on An Jinghe's personality, he would do the same as the previous sect leader and choose a mountain spirit that was good for nothing except its good looks. After all, in his impression, An Jinghe was a very gentle and quiet person, just like his name.
Such a person actually found a female ghost as his companion in the end. I really can’t imagine what that scene would be like.
Yu Ming looked at An Jinghe again with disgust and strangeness, curled his lips, ignored him, and continued to talk about what happened after he asked for leave and left Jinglingmen.
Since there was no telephone in Jingling Sect, the Taoists used paper cranes to communicate with each other. However, Yu Ming's cultivation was poor and he really looked down on the Jingling Sect's cultivation method, so he didn't know how to use it and had no way to release a paper crane to tell the old Taoist priest in advance.
However, Yu Ming remembered that the old Taoist priest said that he would continue to stay in Xingji Temple for treatment and would not leave in the next few years. So he planned to go to Xingji Temple first. Even if he could not find the old Taoist priest, he could at least ask his uncle master in Xingji Temple if he knew the whereabouts of the old Taoist priest.
As a result, when Yu Ming arrived at the forest outside Xingji Temple, he couldn't find Xingji Temple no matter how hard he tried. He searched there for a few days before he suddenly realized that it was not that he couldn't find it, but that he was blocked outside by the formation. He could enter and exit freely before because someone was leading him, but now no one was leading him, and he was not a disciple of Xingji Temple, so of course he couldn't go in.
Yu Ming was very disappointed, and at the same time he couldn't help feeling resentful towards the old Taoist priest. He said he would wait for him at Xingji Temple, but ended up abandoning him at Jingling Gate. Maybe the old Taoist priest just didn't want to take care of him anymore, so he abandoned him at Jingling Gate.
Unable to enter Xingji Temple, Yu Ming wandered outside for many days until a disciple who knew him came out to buy something and asked him if he wanted to go in to find his uncle.
It was rare to meet a living person, so Yu Ming naturally said yes, and also explained that he wanted to find the old Taoist priest and came to visit him.
I have to say that when it comes to acting, Yu Ming really put it together. He looked so pitiful and filial that the young Taoist priest, who was ignorant of the world, immediately softened his heart and first took him to Xingji Temple to find his uncle before going out to buy again.
Yu Ming met the uncle who treated the old Taoist priest again and asked him where the old Taoist priest had gone. The uncle looked at him in surprise and said, "Why did you come here to look for him? Your former master is almost recovered from his illness and said he wanted to go to Jingling Gate to look for you. Didn't you meet him?"
"How could that be? I just came out of Jingling Gate. How many days has he been gone? Maybe they missed each other." Yu Ming was also dumbfounded. He had been out for about ten days. What if he just came out and wanted to find the old Taoist priest, and the old Taoist priest went to Jingling Gate to find him, wouldn't they have missed each other?
"He's been gone for half a year, and you've only been out for a dozen days. Didn't you run into him?" The uncle also frowned and couldn't help but worry.
The old Taoist priest is old, and there is no guarantee that something might happen to him on the way. Otherwise, with his level of cultivation, it would be easy for him to go to Jingling Gate.
Yu Ming had no choice. There was no one at Xingji Temple, so he couldn't stay there for long. He wanted to run back to Jingling Gate to ask the old Taoist priest if he had been there, but on the way, he met another Taoist priest.
The other person called himself Master Ziyuan. As soon as he saw Yu Ming on the train, he said that Yu Ming was a man without father, mother, master or son. Instead of returning to Jinglingmen, he might as well go back to the old Taoist's temple. If he was any later, he wouldn't even be able to see the old Taoist for the last time.
Mentioning this other Taoist priest, An Jing and a low voice repeated: "Master Ziyuan..."
Yu Ming glanced at him and asked, "Do you know him?"
"I've heard that he seems to be very accurate in fortune-telling, so accurate that he can even predict any accidents clearly. Generally speaking, accidents are inevitable in fortune-telling because some people may change their minds at the last minute, but with this man, I heard that whatever he predicts is the truth." An Jinghe said, frowning slightly, feeling that this description was a little too mysterious for a cultivator.
Taoism talks about cause and effect, merit and virtue. There is a limit to how much cause and effect, merit and virtue a person can bear. If Mr. Ziyuan was really that powerful, then he would have died in an accident long ago due to the cause and effect he was bearing. How could he still be so successful?
Su Yun lowered her head and leaned forward to the tablet camera, her whole face distorted. She asked Che Xuming: "Master Che, do you know this Ziyuan Layman?"
The camera was suddenly blocked by a distorted face. Che Xuming and his friend were startled and almost threw the yellow talisman over. Only after Su Yun asked did he realize who it was.
Che Xuming thought about it and shook his head: "No, if there is such a person in Bincheng, I can't get the reputation of a master and can't surpass him. I can't be a master, but a fortune teller."
People's psychology is so strange. They always have to compare one, two, three, and only the best can be called a master, and the others are all charlatans.
Although Che Xuming's words were somewhat self-deprecating, he was indeed telling the truth. If there was such a master in Bincheng, he would never have the chance to shine, and others would only recognize this top master.
Although Yu Ming disliked the people of Jingling Sect, he also nodded and said, "This kid is right. If Master Ziyuan were in Bincheng, I'm afraid all the Taoists who make a living by fortune-telling would be squeezed out and have no food to eat."
Su Yun was very puzzled: "Is he really that powerful? If he is really powerful, why didn't he try to change your fate?"
"Actually, he gave it to me, but I couldn't do it." Yu Ming said after a moment of silence.
Yu Ming met Master Ziyuan by chance on the train. He didn't believe what he said at all. After all, no matter how poor Yu Ming's cultivation was, he was from a legitimate Taoist sect and his theoretical knowledge was not bad. It could even be said that he had worked very hard to memorize all the knowledge points. However, his cultivation progress was slow and he was unable to use more advanced Taoist techniques.
However, Ziyuan Jushi's words reminded Yu Ming that the old Taoist had stayed in Xingji Temple for so long. If his health had improved a lot, he would not only want to go to Jingling Gate to find him, but would also want to return to his own Taoist temple to visit other disciples. No matter how small the Taoist temple was, it might be like home to him.
So when the train was halfway there, Yu Ming got off the train temporarily and took another route, planning to go back to the Taoist temple to see if the old Taoist priest had returned. Unexpectedly, the Taoist priest who called himself Ziyuan Jushi also changed trains.
Yu Ming didn't care whether Mr. Ziyuan wanted to follow him or not. As an adult male with little money, he was not worth being robbed. Maybe the other party was just passing by.
The old Taoist priest’s temple was on a mountain. Yu Ming had always felt that the mountain was quite difficult to climb, and the most annoying thing was having to go up and down the mountain.
As a result, after staying in Jingling Gate for a long time, he felt that the remote valley that he had despised for many years was like a small hill. It was not difficult and was easy to walk on.
When he returned to the Taoist temple, what Yu Ming saw was not his senior brothers and uncles, but a closed door. He seemed to realize something all of a sudden and hurried to knock on the door. After a long time, his senior brother finally opened the door. He found that the other party had a sad face, but was a little happy to see Yu Ming come back.
When Yu Ming was taken to a room in the Taoist temple by his senior brother, he saw an old Taoist priest lying on the bed, not in a good state of mind. He looked much older.
Yu Ming actually had no feelings for the old Taoist priest, but perhaps it was the first time he faced death, so he inevitably felt confused and shocked, so he was pushed to kneel in front of the bed.
The old Taoist priest forced himself to open his eyes, smiled after seeing Yu Ming, and then stopped moving.
The abbot wiped his tears and said, "Master was doing well at Xingji Temple and was in good spirits when he came back. But on the day when he was about to leave for Jingling Gate to visit you, someone suddenly came from the mountain asking for help. When Master came back after he left, he was like this. We wanted to ask the uncle from Xingji Temple to come and take a look, but Master wouldn't let us."
No one knew the details about the old Taoist priest going down the mountain to save people, because the old Taoist priest had a high level of cultivation and was in good health. Even if he was sick, the uncle from Xingji Temple would help him treat him, and he was almost recovered, except for the final recuperation.
The old Taoist priest loved to go out and do justice. They thought that this rescue would be the same as the previous ones and there would not be any accidents. After the old Taoist priest finished the rescue, they could go directly to Jingling Gate to find Yu Ming.
Who would have thought that the old Taoist priest actually came back again, and was seriously injured, all internal injuries, which looked very strange. With the strength of their Taoist temple, it was definitely impossible to cure him. The temple master wanted to send a message to invite the uncle master from Xingji Temple to come, but the old Taoist priest never agreed.
Yu Ming felt very scared. He came back just to ask the old Taoist priest to protect him again, but the old Taoist priest was about to die. What should he do?
After the shock, Yu Ming knelt in front of the bed and begged the old Taoist priest to ask the people from Xingji Temple to save his life. The old Taoist priest took advantage of his good spirit and said: "My disciple, this is not an injury, but a backlash. I saved a person who was destined to die, so the disaster he should have endured fell on me. If someone else comes to save me, they will also die. Do you understand?"
After hearing this, Yu Ming was so frightened that he fell to the ground, his eyes wide open and unable to speak.
After an unknown amount of time, Yu Ming finally came back to his senses. He grabbed the old Taoist priest's skinny arm and asked, "Master, didn't you say that Jingling Sect has a way to change your fate? I, I'll take you to Jingling Sect? There are so many powerful teachers in Jingling Sect, they must be able to save you!"
"It's different. Destiny is not calamity. You have to distinguish it clearly. What Jinglingmen can do is actually change destiny, but the calamities that are supposed to come will never be less. When I looked at your face, I knew that you would have a great calamity in your life, but this great calamity will come very late. So, I want to try to change the choices in your life to see if I can save your life, but..." The old Taoist didn't finish his words, and there was no need to finish the rest.
"How could that be... Then, doesn't that mean that I will still die in the end?" Yu Ming was stunned, his eyes dull, "If that's the case, what's the point of me going to Jinglingmen?"
The old Taoist priest slowly closed his eyes: "It's better to give it a try than not to try. Disciple, I know you have never let go of the resentment and greed in your heart, but just listen to your master this time. In order to survive, you return to Jingling Sect and practice well, okay?"
Looking at the old Taoist priest's gloomy face, Yu Ming stammered and hesitated for a long time, and finally agreed.
That night, the old Taoist priest passed away. He looked like an old man who had died of old age. He used to be vigorous and healthy, with white hair and a youthful face, but after his death, his body aged rapidly and his skin became wrinkled like tree bark. If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, you would have wondered who he was.
Yu Ming went to the Taoist temple to hold a funeral for the old Taoist priest. He didn't stay there for two days and prepared to return to Jingling Sect in accordance with the old Taoist priest's will. He always kept in mind what the old Taoist priest said. The so-called disaster that would come very late made him afraid. Since Jingling Sect had a way, he would go back, even though the sect's skills and Taoist priests made him feel sick.
But at the foot of the mountain, he ran into the monk Ziyuan again. It seemed that the monk was waiting for him at the foot of the mountain. He was playing with a paper crane in his hand. When he saw him coming down the mountain, he smiled and asked, "Are you going to listen to your master and return to Jinglingmen?"
Hearing him ask this, Yu Ming remembered that he had reminded himself on the train to come back and see the old Taoist priest for the last time. The old Taoist priest's death had shocked him so much that he only now realized that the other party had predicted it with just one look at him.
Yu Ming inexplicably felt a little fear: "So what? That's the sect my master found for me, and it's also his last will. Of course I have to go back and continue my cultivation."
"Ah, don't be angry. I don't mean to stop you from returning to Jinglingmen. I just want to ask you, aren't you afraid? Haven't you ever thought about changing your fate as your master talked about?" Mr. Ziyuan smiled gently, like a kind elder.
Speaking of unchangeable calamities, Yu Ming's heart skipped a beat. He said stubbornly, "My master said that calamities cannot be changed. Even if fate changes, calamities will not change. If I stay in Jingling Sect, they will at least have a way to save me."
When Master Ziyuan heard him say this, he suddenly burst into laughter, and soon he even laughed until tears came out: "Hahahaha... Indeed, your master is right. Destiny can be changed, but calamities cannot be changed. So for anyone with a calamity in their fate, most Taoists will not accept the order, because once it affects the calamity that the other person should have experienced, it will be easy to transfer it to yourself, just like your master."
Having said this, it is often followed by a "but".
Sure enough, the next second, Master Ziyuan stopped smiling and said, "But there are ways to modify the fate of the calamity. Are you interested in listening?"
Yu Ming was not a child who could be easily fooled. When he heard this, he knew that the other party might say something that he could not afford, so he simply bypassed Ziyuan Jushi and walked forward without looking back.
The Ziyuan lay Buddhist seemed to have guessed his choice, so he chased after him and said, "Don't worry, I have other intentions. I am only cultivating fate and calculations. However, in my calculations, I found that it is difficult to change the calamity, so I want to find a way to change it. I came to you because your calamity will come very late. No matter what you did in the early stage, you will have the opportunity to regret it."
Yu Ming could turn a blind eye to help that came with a price, and Master Ziyuan had perfectly grasped Yu Ming's psychology - if a benefit came right to his doorstep, he would rather take advantage of it.
"What do you mean?" Yu Ming stopped and asked him.
"I can provide you with several methods. You can try them first to see if they can change your destiny. If it can, the calamity in your later years will naturally disappear. Even if it fails, you have just lived your life, which is not a loss, right?" Mr. Ziyuan asked temptingly.
Yu Ming suddenly stopped talking here, and looked at the people in front of him one by one with a strange look, from An Jinghe to every little Taoist priest in the tablet, and finally fell on Su Yun. That strange look made people creepy, even the people in Jingling Sect felt creepy.
Su Yun quickly reacted: "You are so calm after coming to me because Master Ziyuan told you what will happen today!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there were shouts of "Fuck" from the other end of the tablet. It was obvious that Su Yun had made the video call on a whim, which attracted An Jing and Yu Ming. Yu Ming was also shocked at the time and even wanted to curse.
But if you think about the details carefully, Yu Ming was only shocked that Su Yun asked people to watch. However, Yu Ming himself was not too upset by An Jinghe's appearance. In fact, after An Jinghe's arrival, his mood became much calmer and he seemed to have accepted his fate.
At this time everyone finally understood that Yu Ming was not accepting his fate, he just found that this scene completely matched the prediction of Master Ziyuan.
Yu Ming stared at Su Yun for a while and shook his head: "Actually the prophecy is not that detailed, but... the last document that Master Ziyuan gave me said that I would die in a place with birds singing and flowers blooming, but before I die, I would regret my life choices in a dark place. In this place, there are my brothers and nephews and... a girl who is invulnerable to all kinds of attacks."
If the prophecy of Master Ziyuan gave the people of Jingling Sect goose bumps, then when they heard Yu Ming's retelling of the prophecy, they were so surprised that their jaws almost hit the ground. No Taoist could ignore the weight of the four words "invulnerable to all kinds of attacks".
In Taoism, there are only two meanings of being invulnerable to all kinds of attacks. One is that one's strength is so great that no one can match him. The other is that one's existence does not belong to the six realms of reincarnation. One is neither human nor ghost. It can even be said to be a non-existent individual.
The former can refer to God's own son like Lin Lang, but almost no one has ever seen the latter.
Su Yun turned the folding fan in his hand slightly. When he looked at Yu Ming for the first time, it was as if he was looking at a dead person.
