The Dao dies but I live on, the spiritual energy dries up but I remain evergreen

There were several oil lamps hanging on the walls inside the stone chamber, adding a ray of light that was enough to see the surroundings clearly in the stone chamber that should have been dark.

In the flickering firelight, the Buddha's expression flickered, as if changing all the time, sometimes glaring with anger, sometimes baring teeth in a ferocious manner...

Its followers worship madly.

Absurd and bizarre.

In front of the stone gate.

Li Changxiao's voice was very light.

It was not until this moment that Li Changxiao was finally certain that the former sect leader had been possessed by a demon, completely possessed.

This poor old man.

The new path he thought he had comprehended did not bring him any more life.

The wrinkles on his face were clearly visible.

If the body is not kept straight, it will become hunched over long ago.

Actually.

The signs of the five signs of decline of celestial beings have already appeared.

The battle with the leader of Kongtong Sect consumed most of his spiritual energy.

Live to this day.

The remainder of his life has been almost wasted.

Perhaps, it was under such circumstances that he was eager to prolong his life and practice the evil art of longevity.

In the end, he became possessed and insane.

Imagine the existence of evil gods.

Li Changxiao vaguely felt that almost crazy obsession and felt something was wrong. He wanted to come over to investigate, and that's how he met the headmaster.

The moment he saw the Sect Leader, his intuition told him that something was not right with the Sect Leader's mental state.

But what is even more ironic is.

This old man claimed that he had comprehended a new path and found something that could replace the "Tao".

I am so old that I can no longer hear Li Changxiao's whispers.

Just turn around and scold him, don’t mutter here. If the Evil God hears you, you will bear the consequences!

Li Changxiao nodded and wisely shut his mouth.

In the dream space, the yellow fruit exudes a spiritual mist.

It seems that with its presence, the spiritual energy in the space will become thicker from time to time.

Following the old man, he did not leave the place directly.

He knew very well that if he wanted to leave at this moment, the old leader would not be able to stop him.

Even though this sect leader might not have good intentions towards him, Li Changxiao still wanted to have more contact with these people.

These experiences are not meaningless, nor are they a waste of time.

The path Li Changxiao took destined him to witness too many things, both good and bad, and... he also wanted to know more about the current situation of the monks.

Not to mention that it was the Panlong Sect that introduced him to Taoism and had a deep connection with it.

Taking a step back, even if it was a waste of time, so what? He had no shortage of time.

Looking at the hunched back of the leader.

Li Changxiao unconsciously took out the peach blossom wine and took a sip.

The smell of alcohol helped to dispel some of the foul stench in the cave.

Athlete's foot, body odor, bad breath, feces and urine, all kinds of odors ferment in this stuffy and closed space. They are not strong and pungent, but like the chirping of cicadas in summer, harassing in waves.

It always makes people frown from time to time.

Hard to imagine.

These flavors come from immortals.

He had mixed feelings.

The peach blossom fragrance in the wine fills the nasal cavity. The fragrance of peach blossom evaporates under the effect of alcohol, successfully covering up most of the stench.

Finally it's a little better.

Li Changxiao still didn't dare to take a deep breath. He glanced at the master's feet. He hadn't noticed before that the master's shoes were already in tatters and his toes were exposed.

There was a layer of black dirt between the fingers and on the toes.

The hair on the toes has also grown curly.

He immediately retracted his gaze and hypnotized himself to forget what had just happened.

At the same time muttering in my heart.

Even if you are possessed by a demon.

Believe in evil gods.

We should also spend more time taking care of our personal hygiene, right?

Li Changxiao looked up.

I also saw a yellow and white stain on the leader’s pants…

Part of the foul smell lingering around my nose came from here.

He silently tightened the wine gourd.

I no longer have the mood to drink.

at this time.

The sect leader led him towards the crowd, approaching the tall statue of the evil god step by step.

The crowd moved to the sides.

At the same time, they cast curious glances at me. It seems that... there are new members today.

While they were observing Li Changxiao.

Li Changxiao was also observing them.

His eyes swept across everyone's faces as he moved forward.

With the help of the faint candlelight and his own extraordinary eyesight, he could see everything clearly.

There were about a hundred people gathered here.

Almost all of them are disciples of Panlong Sect.

The further you go, the more familiar faces you see.

Because if the geniuses of his generation had not left Panlong Sect, they would have at least become elders before the spiritual energy was exhausted.

When you have reached a very forward position.

Li Changxiao's gaze rested on a woman.

It was the once famous genius "Chang Yue".

In the past, this senior sister was very famous.

According to legend, when he was born, strange phenomena occurred in heaven and earth, and a ray of moonlight broke through the clouds and shone over.

Later... when he was building his foundation, he had a fortuitous encounter and obtained the inheritance of a cultivator in the fusion stage, which attracted the cold moon to shed thousands of halos, and he completed Yuexiao's foundation building on the moon landing platform.

It was in the limelight for a while.

This senior sister was very talented and her appearance was unique at the time.

There are countless suitors.

Li Changxiao looked at Chang Yue, trying hard to find the figure in his mind.

Just no matter what.

The two cannot be overlapped.

The woman in front of me.

There has been no change in her appearance, her features are delicate and her face is oval.

But her cheeks were sunken, and years of not seeing the sun did not make her skin whiter, but instead dull and lifeless, and there were some pockmarks on her face.

She wears a protective necklace around her neck, which she has never taken off until today. However, perhaps because she has worn it for too long, it is in close contact with the skin, and dirt has accumulated on the necklace due to daily friction.

Makes the necklace black and dirty.

The cave was very hot and stuffy. Chang Yue's exposed skin was covered with sweat stains, which looked very sticky. The parts covered with clothes also had sweat oozing out.

As my eyes moved downward, I saw the bulging chest and the wrinkled clothes that were stained with black palm prints.

Continue down.

It was the uniform long skirt worn by the female disciples of Panlong Sect. Li Changxiao remembered that it was originally green and white, but perhaps because it had not been changed for a long time, it had turned into yellow and black.

The hem of the skirt was stuck with dirt, feces, urine and other dirty things, making the skirt no longer light and graceful.

Finally, his eyes fell on the ground, where Chang Yue was standing on a pair of boots.

Before the spiritual energy in these boots was exhausted, they could be considered a pretty good magical tool and were called the Moon-Riding Boots. But when I saw them again today, the boots were already fuzzy and damaged, and I could vaguely see the toes wrapped inside.

Li Changxiao is looking at Chang Yue.

Chang Yue was also looking at Li Changxiao at the same time.
