The old monk, wearing a grey monk's robe and with a shiny bald head, floated away.
Wang Xuan and Lao Chen's faces trembled slightly. They stared at the back of his shiny head again and again. Both of them were tense and silent.
"Xiao Wang, for you, I traveled to the deep space. How can you repay me?" Finally, Lao Chen couldn't hold it in anymore and spoke first.
Wang Xuan patted himself again and again and said, "Old Chen, please be more normal. You are already very old and you are giving me goose bumps all over the floor."
"Tell me, am I protecting you from disaster?" Old Chen stared at him, as if asking for an explanation.
Wang Xuan was indeed in the wrong about this, but he had only said a few words casually that day. He did not expect that the female alchemist would actually go to find Lao Chen.
"Old Chen, you can't say that. Aoki and I were discussing this a few days ago. We both agree that with great ability comes great responsibility. You are one of the leaders of the organization, and your ability and responsibility have finally been truly highlighted. Aoki also deeply agrees."
Old Chen looked at him with a serious expression and a respectful look on his face, and he really wanted to hit him!
Old Chen finally sighed, staring into the distance in a trance, a little lonely, and said: "You don't understand how deep this pool of water is. You can't imagine how terrifying the truth of the feathering in the pre-Qin period was. I really paid a great price this time."
Wang Xuan was surprised. He was also frightened last night, so he became alert and had other opinions about the metamorphosis. Now Lao Chen actually spoke in this tone, as if he had already seen something?
Soon, Wang Xuan realized that the expedition organization cooperated with the country and was semi-official in nature, so they naturally knew many secrets that ordinary people could not imagine, and even the truth of history.
After all, who can investigate everything more thoroughly than the state? Documents and secret books from past dynasties must have recorded and left something behind.
"That period of time was truly vicissitudes and heavy. It was not only history, but also a brilliant poem that moved heaven and earth and shook the stars and the moon." Old Chen's words were heavy, and even his sighs seemed bleak and somewhat powerless.
"The appearance of the female Taoist priest is a very bad omen. Her return means... Never mind. I can't tell you." Old Chen rubbed his temple, looking very tired. He said, "You are still young. You don't know how serious this matter is."
Wang Xuan felt a little uncomfortable seeing Lao Chen in such a depressed mood. Usually Lao Chen was calm and composed, but now he was completely different and exhausted.
"Don't think this is a small matter. If you don't handle it well, it will cause a big mess. So, I took her to deep space and visited some places, hoping to solve the problem. Unfortunately, I failed. Involuntarily, I was guided back by her."
At this point, Old Chen felt a little sad. He patted Wang Xuan on the shoulder and said, "Xiao Wang, the future belongs to you young people. If... I am gone in a while, your generation must try their best to explore some of the secrets of the old techniques and find the right way that has disappeared in the long river of history. Perhaps you can also call it a shortcut!"
Wang Xuan was terrified. Is Old Chen going to die? He won't live long?!
“Life is full of ups and downs, and no one knows how it will end!” Old Chen sighed, looking towards the horizon. In the morning glow, there was a layer of light golden glow on his body.
Wang Xuan hadn’t paid much attention to it before, but now he discovered that although Lao Chen looked haggard, he had a very straight figure and an indescribable temperament.
“Master, don’t hold on any longer. It’s fine if you can’t obtain the immortal technique of the female alchemist, but Wang Xuan’s rapid improvement in strength may…”
Qingmu arrived and heard Lao Chen's sigh while he was still outside the courtyard gate. So he spoke through the courtyard wall to persuade Lao Chen not to be so stubborn, and strode in.
The moment he saw Wang Xuan, he wanted to cover his mouth. At the same time, he wished he could disappear immediately and didn't dare to look at Lao Chen.
Oh my god, Old Chen is really planning a big move! Wang Xuan was stunned.
He was speechless for a while. In his eyes, the pale golden glow on Lao Chen's body faded away in an instant, and his straight figure and righteousness all disappeared.
In fact, Wang Xuan was not into the play at all and didn't really believe it. Now that he had seen it with his own eyes and caught him in the act, it was his turn to beat Lao Chen.
"Old Chen, you are really good." Wang Xuan sighed.
Old Chen didn't feel embarrassed at all. His sadness and loneliness disappeared in an instant, and he regained his composure. He shook his head and said, "This is the ups and downs of life. The trajectory changes at any time."
He looked at his apprentice and said, "Qingmu, you are so old, why are you still so impetuous? Are you making fun of me?"
What could Aoki say? It was only after Lao Chen came back and they had an in-depth exchange of views that he understood what Lao Chen was planning.
Wang Xuan glanced at Old Chen. Seeing how haggard he looked, he did not feel any sympathy at all. His old colleague was a ruthless man. In order to obtain the magic of the female alchemist, he had held on for so many days and refused to find anyone to take over. He was really desperate!
He leaned over and asked quietly, "Is there really a method of immortal transformation?"
Qingmu couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Okay, Xiao Wang, be a kind person and stop provoking Lao Chen."
Wang Xuan glanced at him and said, "Qingmu, if I were you, I would turn around and leave. You really are here to take over your master's job. I feel like it will be your turn soon."
"Shut up!" Aoki got scared and took a few steps back.
Then, he felt a palpitation and felt unwell all over. It seemed that his mental realm was under some kind of pressure and he broke out in a cold sweat.
At the same time, Lao Chen let out a long sigh, and said with a feeling in his heart: "I feel that the fairy has left and is no longer emitting spiritual pressure on me."
I have to say that Lao Chen is really strong. He can sense whether the female sorcerer has left during the day.
