Chapter Five: The Legend of Reincarnation

  After I saw the person on the rooftop, I couldn't help but be convinced by that person's temperament. The person on the rooftop was wearing a sky-blue ancient long gown, with long hair combed into a Taoist sideburns, although looking quite old, but with a full face of red glow, very good spirit and energy, and an inexplicable aura on his body, like a hermit or a high-ranking official. Of course, what I want to say most now is that he's a high-ranking official, save me, I'm dying!

  But 'chicken' grandpa saw this person, his face changed, and he quietly put Chenchen on the ground and stood in front of me, saying to the old Taoist, "I didn't expect that Jiangbei was indeed a gathering place for wind and clouds, even Xiang Zuolai came"

  "Alright, alright. I calculated it yesterday and found that there is a heavenly phenomenon appearing in the mortal world, so I came here. I don't know what Lin's young friend means, could he be treating Jiangbei as Lingkong Mountain?" The old Taoist smiled at 'Chicken' Master, but made him tense up and look somewhat nervous, seemingly quite wary of this old Taoist.

  "I don't dare, I'm just a junior, I don't dare to show off in front of Master Zuo," replied 'Chicken' Ye, then shifted his gaze to the long-skirted woman not far away, who was from another faction. Now it's a three-legged balance, and breaking it easily won't work."

  "The three gods' way 'girl' Ling Yue has seen Xiang Zuoshi, today the three gods' way is doing things in this line, after waiting for a day, the little 'girl' will definitely report to the teaching master Daokun, specially go to thank Xiang Zuoshi" The long-skirted woman replied with courtesy and respect, but the meaning of her words was more obvious than ever. I am now the target of the three gods' way, hoping that this old Daoist won't intervene.

  When I heard this, I was basically heartbroken. It turned out that this immortal wind and bone old Taoist was from another evil cult, and was even a senior elder level old freak. Damn it, can 'Chicken' Grandpa hold on? Where's Fatty? Come out quickly! And the righteous people who will help with their swords unsheathed, all come quickly!

  The old Daoist shifted his gaze from my hand and swept a disdainful glance at Ling Yue, saying: "You're just a mere 'female' official, how dare you speak to me like that? The Three Gods Sect is still so unorthodox. If you want to talk tough, wait until you become a 'holy female' first. For now, get out of my sight!"

  The old man finished speaking and pulled out the 'inserted' duster from his waist, shaking it at Ling Yue. After shaking it, a gust of strange wind suddenly rose, blowing Ling Yue into disarray. However, this wind seemed to have no attacking power, but rather made Ling Yue not dare to resist. He glared fiercely at everyone present before turning and leaving. The Three Gods' Sect didn't send any top experts this time, so if they were to really fight, it wouldn't be a match for the left faction. Therefore, Ling Yue simply retreated, and with this reason, his superiors wouldn't blame him either.

  The long skirted woman Ling Yue walked away, and the scene was left with only me, 'chicken' grandpa, and this old Taoist who was turning left. At this time, the burning sensation on my hand was subsiding, at least I wouldn't be rolling around in pain anymore. So, using my other hand to pinch my wrist, I tried to get up, but after crawling a few times, I still couldn't get up. After struggling for a whole day, I finally exhausted all my physical strength, and now I really don't have any energy left. I suppose anyone who comes would be able to 'take care' of me!

  "Elder, I don't know what you mean, Lin Hao is my friend." 'Chicken' Grandpa couldn't help but say this after seeing the old Taoist's gaze towards me becoming increasingly intense. This old Taoist was a figure from his grandfather's generation, with profound mastery of the Tao, and was not someone he could contend with; otherwise, he wouldn't be speaking in such a lowly manner!

  "Haha, friend, I heard that there's a popular saying now, 'Friends are just for sale', don't know if you've heard it or not," Old Dao said with a smile, but this sentence made me shocked in my heart. This is clearly 'Chicken' Grandpa making the choice to abandon me! If even 'Chicken' Grandpa doesn't care about me anymore, then who can I rely on? Unconsciously, I fixed my gaze on 'Chicken' Grandpa.

  "He" clenched his fists, this old man was forcing him to make a choice. Giving up on Lin Hao was something he could do, after all, they had only known each other for a few hours and apart from his name, knew nothing about him. The same went for him knowing them. So, it couldn't be considered friendship. But from now on, "Chicken" Master's Dao heart would likely have a flaw because the orthodox Daoist school he practiced wouldn't allow seeing someone die without saving them, letting evil cultivators take away innocent people didn't align with their moral principles. Moreover, his current situation was unclear, it might involve some secret inheritance or something, and it was even more impossible to let evil cultivators take him away like this.

  The "chicken" old man was still hesitating, but the fat guy who had been hiding in the corner couldn't help it anymore. He could feel the "chicken" old man's emotions from his tightly clenched fist, and anyone who was being forced like this would be very unhappy. So he immediately burst out laughing loudly, "Haha, I didn't think that even Old Master Left would pay attention to modern internet trends! But I'm not talented, I've only heard of 'stabbing brothers in the back' and 'drawing swords to help those in need', I've never heard of friends being sold out. Chicken old man, little chicken, have you heard?" The fat guy walked over to the "chicken" old man's side, making a silly face and squeezing his eyebrows together.

  Seeing the fat man come out, 'chicken' grandpa also let out a sigh of relief. The two of them were both somewhat considerate in what they said, and even if they retreated, it would be relatively convenient. Of course, their courage was sufficient. He raised his head to say to the old Taoist, "Of course I've never heard of it. Drawing swords to help others is a pleasure, it's the model for our generation, and it's also the excellent tradition of our family."

  The appearance of the fatty did not bring any surprise to Lao Dao, nor did he show any change in expression when they began to resist him. He simply said to the fatty, "The descendants of Tushan indeed have the ancient style, but do you know that he is not someone you can touch? Not to mention you, even the four great guardian families are not allowed."

  How formidable is this? The fat man turned his head and took a look at me, secretly thinking "When I saw that 'jade' symbol earlier, I was blinded, could it be that this kid is some kind of great god reincarnated?" However, the fat man's expression didn't change much, this old Daoist has been in the business for decades, who knows if he's just fooling himself or bullying me because of my youth and lack of experience?

  "Our four major guardian families may not be considered top-notch in the cultivation world, but we're also not someone who can be easily intimidated. Today, this person is under our protection, so please make your move, senior." 'Chicken' Grandpa Lin Ling added, revealing a very ancient-looking short knife.

  "Xuan Xin Dao, good, the younger generation of the Four Great Guardian Families is indeed bold, daring to show off their weapons in front of me. It seems that I haven't been out in the world for a long time, and the world has forgotten my skills." Turning his head to look at 'Chicken' Ye's knife, he suddenly became enraged. This was an open provocation! If he didn't take action now, he would lose face. So, with a flick of his wrist, the feather duster in his hand shot towards 'Chicken' Ye like a needle.

  "Puff, puff" The old man 'chicken' was fighting back while retreating, constantly using his knife to flick away the dust threads, but those dust threads seemed endless, one broke and another grew out, leaving 'chicken' with no way to retreat.

  "Old man, take one of my moves!" At the critical moment, Fatty made his move. No one knew how he did it, but his fists turned into two burning flames, and those flames were an eerie green color. Fatty rushed to Lao Dao's side and started punching wildly, always aiming for Lao Dao's vitals. For a moment, killing intent filled the air, as if he wanted to kill Lao Dao no matter what.

  However, the old Taoist was not to be underestimated. His movements were even more agile, and a duster was swung by him with great vigor, making it difficult for Fatso to get close. Even when he swung his fists, they only hit the handle of the duster, although many duster threads were burned, but not a single one hurt the old Taoist.

  "Puppet technique, golden armored warrior, rise!" 'Chicken' Old Man threw out two paper men, and after biting his finger to draw a drop of blood on the paper man's brow, they quickly transformed into two tall, two-meter-tall golden armored warriors charging towards Lao Dao. 'Chicken' Old Man knew that Lao Dao had been practicing martial arts for decades, so Fatso was no match for him, which is why he wanted to win with his Taoist magic.

  Two golden armored warriors, although stiff in body, excelled at not fearing pain. After joining the battle group, they immediately suppressed Lao Dao, allowing the chubby guy who had fallen into a disadvantage to escape.

  "The old Taoist, surrounded by the Golden Armor Warriors, didn't seem to be in a hurry at all. He took out some time to draw a few strokes with his brush and then slapped his palm on one of the warriors. The warrior immediately caught fire and turned into a pile of ashes within seconds."

  But at this time, the fatty had also made up his mind. With a loud shout of "Flying Sand and Walking Stone", a whirlwind suddenly rose from the ground, with sand and stones constantly hitting the old Taoist's body. However, the old Taoist also had a way to counter it. Without seeing him move, a transparent thin membrane stood up half a meter in front of him, and the flying sand and walking stone could not get close to his body.

  "Seal, fatty continues" Looking at the old Dao's invisible protective seal, "Chicken" Grandpa was shocked and immediately threw the Xuanxin knife to Fatty. Fatty borrowed the Xuanxin knife with his hand, rolled on the ground, and when he got up, he inserted the Xuanxin knife into the old Dao's seal. With a "puff" sound, the old Dao's seal shattered.

  "Bang", but Lao Dao also hit the retreating Pangsui, a palm slapped on Pangsui's shoulder, making him fall to the ground like being crushed by Mount Tai, and for a while he couldn't get up.

  "Fat boy" 'chicken' yelled loudly, and dozens of talismans flew out without taking any money. Those talismans seemed to have grown eyes and surrounded the old Taoist, rotating around him, looking for an opportunity to rush towards him. However, the old Taoist's flying duster danced in the air, and all the rushing talismans were knocked away by it.

  "Chicken" Grandpa took advantage of the opportunity to pull away the fatty, lifted his clothes and took a look, on the fatty's shoulder was a dark palm print. "Despicable!" "Chicken" Grandpa shouted angrily, no need to say that the fatty had been poisoned.

  "The sword technique, 'Breaks All Laws' was returned to the plump man's hand, the 'Chicken' elder was about to go all out, his hands began to seal and a fierce aura emanated from him, making the old Daoist who had cut down all the talismans tremble with fear. The 'Breaks All Laws' technique he naturally knew was the Lin family's unique skill, its power was extremely great when unleashed, but the cost was not small either, so the old Daoist also took out several magical instruments, preparing for a fierce battle."

  "Run, little 'chicken', we're no match for that old Taoist." But before the little 'chicken' could finish speaking, he was dragged back by Fatso, who had a pained expression on his face and seemed to be having great difficulty speaking.

  "He" was very helpless, he knew that if they continued to fight hard, the best result might be a double defeat, but what could they do if they didn't fight back? Would they just let this old Taoist take people away? What face would they have left? They had already promised to bring people back, but if they continued to fight, both Fatso and Chenchen would be in danger.

  Just as "Chicken" was hesitating, the ear-piercing police siren slowly approached, causing the old Daoist who was about to launch a sneak attack to pause. "Consider yourselves lucky, but I won't give up on him," the old Daoist said, pointing at me. "Hand over the person and spare your lives." They weren't good people; they dared to kill in public, but they didn't dare openly defy the government police. This was a consensus among the cultivators: whoever crossed this line would be asking for trouble. So the old Daoist retreated.

  "Listen, kid, I'll give you some advice. The reincarnation eye has already recognized its master, but whether this is a blessing or a curse, immortality is not something you can touch. If you cooperate nicely, you might still be able to bring good fortune to your family and friends. Otherwise... haha." The old Taoist's figure disappeared before he finished speaking, leaving me stunned and confused. What reincarnation eye? Is it this thing on my palm? Why am I so unlucky?

  "Chubby, suppress the poison, let's go." The 'chicken' old man obviously didn't want to meet the police in this situation either. With one hand holding Chenchen and the other supporting Chubby, he was about to leave, leaving me standing there stupidly not knowing what to do.

  "Follow them or go by myself?" 'Chicken' grandpa didn't care about me, but I also didn't dare to run wildly. It's just that today's three views have collapsed, and the inhuman means they showed one by one still make me dizzy. Moreover, the old Taoist's last sentence was very clear, they were using my family and friends to threaten me, Li Mingxue is an example.

  "Hey, 'Chicken' brother, wait for me." But soon I realized that being alone is too weak, the other side can easily take my life with just a small shrimp. If I don't find a big "leg" to hold onto, I'll be done for sooner or later. Since I need to find a big "leg", might as well go with 'Chicken' brother and Fatty, at least they look like good people.
