When I was a Taoist

Chapter 251 The Right Choice
The red glow guided me to a place that looked like a deep well, and when I threw stones down, I couldn't hear the echo of falling to the ground for a long time.I took a deep breath and asked with some guilt: "Chi Mang, are you really sure that the entrance to the ruins is here?"

Chi Mang snorted coldly, and said: "Of course, I can still lie to you? It's just that the ruins here seem to be isolated by something. I tried once, but I couldn't get close at all. If it wasn't for you this time, I'm afraid I can't even get that close."

"I also feel it. There seems to be a huge formation here to protect the ruins." I nodded. Although I found the place, I was worried about how to get down.

"I'd better find a place to rest first, and then find a way to go down and explore the road."

I stood at the mouth of the well and hesitated for a long time. In the end, I still didn't have the heart to jump in directly. I shook my head and prepared to leave.

"Why are you so timid, you just want to become the most powerful Taoist priest." Chi Mang was greatly disappointed by my reaction, and couldn't help but sneer: "If that old bastard knows that there are ruins here, would you believe them?" Are you going to jump into it recklessly?"

"They are greedy for profit. I just want to improve my strength and save my friend. If my life is lost here, how can I save my friend?"

I rolled my eyes, and when I was about to leave, a strong suction force suddenly broke out in the deep well, pulling me directly into the deep well.I didn't react at all, and after a scream, I was pulled into the deep well.

The deep well was pitch black, and I couldn't see my fingers. I could only feel myself falling down.And the surrounding walls are smooth, and I can't find a place to stop the fall.

"It's over, it's over, I didn't expect there to be ghosts in this ruins, this time I really have to fall here." After I realized that I was struggling without hope, I closed my eyes and waited to fall to my death here.

Originally, I thought I would fall hard to the bottom of the well, but I didn't expect that my falling body suddenly stopped in the air.I touched my feet in disbelief and found that I had landed.

"I didn't fall to my death?"

I looked at myself who was intact, and felt lucky to survive the catastrophe.At this time, Chi Mang's exclamation also sounded from the bottom of my heart: "I didn't expect such a terrifying formation to exist in this ruin. Even if the eldest brother comes over, I'm afraid he will end up seriously injured."

Hearing this, I looked up and looked around.The walls here are inlaid with a kind of luminous stone, illuminating the surrounding environment brightly.I saw dense talisman seals engraved on the wall, and mysterious patterns were drawn under my feet.It can be said that all the places in the well are actually part of the formation.

"The person who can arrange such a huge array must be a senior with profound morals."

I muttered something to myself, and walked towards a stone gate ahead.As soon as he walked to the stone gate, the stone gate opened automatically.A white phantom sat cross-legged in the room behind the stone gate, looking at me with a smile.

"Senior." I hastily bowed to Xuying respectfully, without thinking too much, this old man must be the owner of this place, and also the senior who protects the ruins.

"Little guy, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

The old man smiled, waved to me, and said, "Come here, let me take a good look at you, old man."

Hearing this, I hesitated for a moment, then walked up to the old man.The latter looked at me carefully, making me feel uncomfortable, and said with a smile: "Senior, I just want to find a way to improve my strength in the ruins, and then rescue all my friends. I have absolutely no intention of disturbing senior. Breaking in made you dissatisfied, I would like to apologize and get out immediately."

The old man waved his hand and said with a smile: "Little guy, I have been waiting for you since you stepped into the ancient battlefield. If you don't come here again, I'm afraid I will find a way to catch you here."

"Senior, are you waiting for me?" I widened my eyes and couldn't believe my ears.

"That's right, the old man is waiting for you."

The old man nodded, his face became serious, and he said slowly: "It can be said that every move of the entire ancient battlefield is under my supervision. Among so many people, although your strength is not the strongest and your talent is not It is the best, but there is something mysterious about you that attracts me. I did a fortune-telling for you just now, and found it difficult to see through your fate. In other words, your fate has been covered up, and the future has become a mystery. .Only you can decide your destiny.”

After a pause, the old man glanced at my face and said with a smile: "Little guy, are these hard for you to accept? And I found that you are destined to be lonely all your life. Although you will meet more than one woman, no one can accompany you In the end. Only by being alone and making the right choice can you unleash all your hidden potential."

"Lonely, the right choice."

I muttered to myself, the old man's words were like a paste that made my mind messed up.Although I learned some secrets about myself from Mr. Destiny, but hearing what the old man said, I feel even more confused about my life experience and future.

"You will gradually understand these things in the future. Now I need to do something that has been prepared for hundreds of years."

The old man smiled, then put a hand on my head, and asked: "Little guy, are you willing to accept my inheritance? Although most of my power is used to protect the formation here, but What I have accumulated in my life is enough to make you a top Taoist priest."

Hearing this, no matter who it is, I am afraid there is no reason to refuse.I saluted the old man and said in a deep voice, "Thank you, senior."

The old man smiled in relief, nodded and said, "Close your eyes, and I will send everything to your mind."

As soon as the voice fell, I felt a torrent of information pouring into my mind crazily.Caught off guard, I snorted in pain and fell into a coma...

When I woke up groggy, I found that I was lying where the old man was sitting, and the phantom of the old man had disappeared.I hurriedly sat up and called the old man, but no voice responded to me.

"Boy, you finally woke up."

Chiman's voice came from inside the body, and it said in surprise: "I can feel that your strength has not only improved a lot."

I clenched my fist and found that my body was full of strength, much stronger than before.I climbed up happily, but found a few lines of words engraved on the stone platform under my feet.

"The old man has already taught you all the skills. In fact, the formation here is to seal a ghost. With your current strength, you are no match for it. Within a year, you must come back and completely seal this ghost. Otherwise, there will be a catastrophe here.”
