”Thank you, Master, for saving my life. this disciple will never forget it. ” Shi Lei clasped his hands together towards the old Daoist.

The old Daoist turned around and looked at Shi Lei with a smile. Eight years had passed and Shi Lei had grown from a sickly youth to a delicate and pretty youth, yet his appearance had not changed in the slightest.

It was because there was no change that Shi Lei was able to recognize him in one look.

”Master? I remember that we didn't record down the teacher's and disciple's titles? ” The old Daoist laughed and said.

”The favor of saving my life. It is only right for me to be your master. ” Shi Lei said.

The old Daoist laughed and said, ”Everything in the world is balanced. You can't afford such a gift. ”

”Anyway, at least I'm still alive.” Shi Lei said with a smile.

The old Daoist nodded and said, ”In the underworld, there is a heaven's will. Eight years ago, I saw you on the verge of death. Eight days later, we meet again. Our fates are really not shallow. ”

The old Daoist stepped forward and righted Shi Lei's bent upper body. Then, his fingers skillfully buckled onto the meridians in Shi Lei's wrist.

With a slight touch, it loosened. He said, ”The Sky Sun Broken Veins are indeed overbearing.” Using a person's life as a medicinal guide, he still hadn't melted the Pure Yang Soul. ”It seems like it's really just like the legends say, one must find a Pure Yin Body.”

Shi Lei sighed, and said: ”We shall leave it to fate. Didn't Master say that there is always a fixed outcome? ”

”Opportunity. The time had come, and fate had come. No need to worry. ” The old Daoist comforted him.

”I'm not in a hurry. I finally got to see my master once. No matter what, I have to ask Master to stay in Yan Jing for a few more days so that I could do my duty. ” Shi Lei said respectfully. These were his heartfelt words.

To owe someone else was like borrowing money from someone else. Even if it couldn't be paid off in one go, he had to pay a bit of interest first.

's life was saved by the combined efforts of the old Daoist and Chen Jingyang, and they now wanted to respect Chen Jingyang. Unfortunately, the old Daoist had passed away, but the old Daoist was right in front of his eyes, and Shi Lei truly wanted to keep him here, so that he could live as long as he could.

The old Daoist saw through Shi Lei's sincerity and said gently: ”How can a person who seeks the Dao live in a safe place? ”If the Dao is found and not sought, how can one obtain the Dao?”

Shi Lei felt a headache coming on. In the past, when Chen Jingyang let him practice writing, he used to copy the < Classics of the Way of the Way of the Tao > and the < Vajra Scripture > such profound methods. However, every time he copied a scripture, it would make his head hurt. Only after a long time had passed did he finally get used to this sort of torture.

Now, this old Daoist was preaching to him again, saying 'heaven's will' and other similar things. Once again, he felt drowsy.

”What path is Master looking for?” Shi Lei braced himself and asked.

”Heavenly Daos.”

”Heavenly Mystery Realm? ”What path is this?” Shi Lei felt that he was playing a word game with someone.

”Heaven's Secret is a Dao, and also a sect. The sect I am in is the Tian Ji Sect. ”The Heavenly Secrets Sect used Li Chunfeng, a cultivator of the Tang Dynasty's Chastity Monastery, as their ancestor. He searched for the cause and effect and used the Heavenly Secrets as his base.”

Although Shi Lei did not know any Dao Arts, he had heard of Li Chunfeng before. Li Chunfeng was the famous Celestial Master during Emperor Taizong's time in Tang Dynasty and the author of ”Push-back Painting”.

The < Back Thrusting Map > was used to calculate the national destiny of Tang Dynasty. Because Li Chunfeng had observed the weather one day and learned that the Martial Queen Wu was going to seize power, he began to calculate on the spur of the moment. But who knew that he would be so addicted to the idea that he would be unable to reap the benefits from it? He even calculated the fate of Huaxia for more than two thousand years, until Yuan Tiangang pushed him on the back and said, 'The heavens can't let it out.

”Then why did Master come to the capital? Furthermore, you followed so many people to search for the Dao? ” Shi Lei asked with a smile. He had just seen this Daoist priest standing together with the people from the tour group. It seemed that this old man was quite open-minded as he had come on a tour with the group.
