Taishang asks longevity

Chapter 215 Power
In the bamboo forest, the leaves are dense, and there is a mist like light smoke, like a fairyland, empty and quiet.

An old man, dressed in a long Taoist robe, sat cross-legged on a straw mat, his face was indifferent, like a master outside the world, with a fairy demeanor.

As his fingertips flicked down, the guzheng in front of him was played, and the tune was light, like the sound of heaven, stirring in the bamboo forest, melodious and melodious.

It seems to startle the gorgeous and colorful lights, making all the birds sing together.

The breeze was blowing, bringing bursts of coolness, but the old man didn't notice it.

After playing a song, the strings stop and the sound is silent, and the whole bamboo forest is silent.

I saw the cloud and mist lingering over the bamboo forest, rising curlingly, as if it contained a pure breath, holy and peaceful.

Footsteps came from behind him, a little hurried at first, but slowed down as he got closer.

"Elder Gu..."

Someone called out softly.

He is also an elderly man, his temples are a little pale, but his expression is not as calm as that of the old man sitting on the straw mat.

"Old Mo, how is it?" Elder Gu, who was sitting cross-legged on the straw mat, did not turn his head, but gently stroked the zither in front of him with his hand, and asked indifferently.

Mo Lao seemed to take a deep breath, and said slowly: "There have been some changes."

"Oh?" Elder Gu said lightly, but it was still as calm as spring water, as calm as an ancient well.

Mo Lao said: "The Haijian Group... seems to have invited a master, the head-down master from Nanyang has been killed..."

"En!" After listening to Elder Gu, he nodded his head slightly, looked into the distance, and said calmly, "What people from outside do...doesn't work properly after all...there is such a result...it's not surprising."

A human life, in his opinion, is nothing to worry about.

Mo Lao heard the words, nodded, seemed to pause for a while, and then said: "Now, what should we do?"

Elder Gu listened, smiled lightly, his face was full of kindness, and said: "Let Tan Shisan go! This son's work... I really like it..."

"Understood!" Mo Lao saluted, not daring to disturb him any more, and walked away slowly.

In the empty and silent bamboo grove, the string sound reappeared.

This time, the tone is like singing on the battlefield, exciting people's hearts, like thousands of troops, shouting loudly, like generals fighting hundreds of battles, charging into battle.

In the quiet forest, it is floating.

……

Southeast District, Office.

When Mai Lize saw Li Changsheng walking in, he said with a smile, "Mr. Li...how is the matter of Haijian Group going?"

Li Changsheng said: "I killed the head-down master who was behind the scenes, but so far, there are still no clues."

"Hey...you have some skills!" Sister Min couldn't help but sneered when she heard it.

Li Changsheng glanced at her indifferently, but ignored her.

McLize said: "We have already started to investigate again... But the origin of the expert behind the Huatian Group is quite mysterious, and we have no news for a while."

Li Changsheng said: "Looking at it like this, we can only wait for them to attack again?"

The person who caused the trouble, after the death of a head descendant, the people behind will definitely be cautious, and they will be even more discreet when doing things.

In this way, it may not be easy to find relevant clues.

However, Mai Lize shook his head, walked up to Li Changsheng with a post, and said, "Not necessarily... come... have a look..."

After speaking, he handed the post in his hand to Li Changsheng.

Li Changsheng was a little puzzled, so he took the post, opened it, and saw the words "Spell Competition Competition" written on it.

"Spell competition?" Li Changsheng frowned slightly, looked at Mai Lize, and asked, "What do you mean?"

Mai Lize smiled and said: "It's like this... Every three years in Ningcheng, there will be a magic competition competition. It is said to be a competition, but in fact the form is somewhat similar to underground fighting."

"Fighting skills?" Li Changsheng shook his head and said with a smile, "I'm not interested in this stuff."

McLize said: "Listen to me first... This competition has always been complicated. It is held every three years. The winners, in the industry, will also rise in value. Anyone who is invited by a corporate group to do something, It also needs to pay a lot of money...Actually, for this thing...People who practice Taoism in the real sect will not participate, and most of the participants are magicians with interests in mind."

What Mai Lize said was simple and clear, summarizing the stakes in one sentence, and Li Changsheng understood it in an instant.

But Li Changsheng smiled faintly, nodded, and said, "I see...you mean, maybe among the people participating in this underground fight, there will be some masters behind the Huatian Group?"

"That's right." McLize said, "Think about it...not to mention who is the expert behind the Huatian Group, but since he can be used by the Huatian Group, he must be motivated by interests. If he wants to deal with fame and fortune, It is also very important.”

There is some truth to what McLize said.

For people in the orthodox religious sect, the practice is for self-improvement, or universal salvation, so it is impossible to be interested in this kind of competition.

Those in an orthodox sect like the Four Elders naturally look down on such a competition.

But the world is big, full of surprises.Many people who study magical powers and geomantic omens do not do it for practice or to achieve ascension, but just to make a living.

In the era of the end of the Dharma, ascension is becoming more and more rare, and the world doesn't even believe that there are immortals in this world.

That being the case, how can one talk about having a "dao mind" when practicing magic?
When many people practiced spells at first, it might be to achieve positive results, but as their spells became stronger and stronger, they found that they could gain more and more benefits by using their magical powers, so they gradually abandoned their original skills. original intention.

Just like a head-bending master who practiced the head-bending technique, his goal must not be to achieve a positive result, but to gain fame and fortune by relying on the magical powers he has learned.

To put it simply, even in the office in the southeast district, Mai Lize and the other three team members know the same magic skills and supernatural powers, but they have learned a lot, and they don't come from a decent family, so while practicing magic skills, Without the corresponding method of cultivating the mind, it is naturally impossible to abandon the emotions and desires and achieve the state of not fighting or seeking.

The four elders are a little bit better, they are reclusive masters who can tell good from evil and argue right from wrong, but such people are very few among the people who practice magic arts in today's world.

Li Changsheng took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I'll go and have a look..."

Mai Lize nodded, patted Li Changsheng on the shoulder, and said, "Even if you can't find any clues, it's better to study it... You must know that there are so many strange arts in the world, and they emerge in endlessly. It's beyond what we can imagine, learn from other people's strengths, and gain insights for yourself...don't worry...this time, Sister Min and Brother Wu will accompany you, if there is a problem, they will take care of you."

"Okay." Li Changsheng said lightly, and glanced at Sister Min and Brother Wu.

But I saw Sister Min and Brother Wu showing disdainful smiles.
