Chapter 1 The Mysterious Compass

The old man with white beard smiled and said, "You are right. Everything you have experienced this time is just a dream. Little baby. Your body is already deeply demonic. But after many great sorrows and joys in the world, you will eventually let you abandon the magic path. It is a joyful congratulation. As for your biological mother, this is an opportunity and fate. She will be rewarded in the next life, so you don't have to be too obsessed."

The great sorrow and joy in the world, I silently recalled everything I had experienced before. It was indeed as the old man with white beard said, the highest good and evil, good and evil, gain and loss in the world, only one thought of people. This experience has allowed me to see a lot and also figure out a lot of the most selfless good deeds, just like a trickle of water, which is soaked by all things without competing for fame and fortune. The so-called simple truth is, the more profound and difficult to understand, the simpler and simpler it is, even so simple that one behavior can be explained in one or two sentences. However, the worldly things are difficult to deal with. Simplicity is not perfunctory, nor is it stupid or naive, but the highest wisdom in the world.

Simplicity is the truth of being a human being. Simplicity is the source of strength to accumulate strength, but it is not simple to be able to be simple...

I wiped my tears, nodded slightly, and said, "Senior, I have thanked you for your great kindness."

After saying that, I respectfully bowed my fists and continued, "It's just that the old senior said that I'm already very demonic, and I don't know why."

When the old man with white beard heard this, he sighed and said, "This is the blame for the mysterious demon... He likes your qualifications and wants to pull you into the door, so he takes every step of the way and sets up a mystery, asking you to get into the trap. Little baby, you are kind by nature and Yang Yuanshan is by your side, so it is difficult for the mysterious demon to succeed. Otherwise, you will fall into a place of irreversible consequences..."

I was stunned. Looking back on what Liu Qingshui said, Xuanmo did design me all the way. From the day I met "Xu Lao", I thought my personality gradually changed and I couldn't improve my practice. Not only that, the Jade Buddha Bead was also troubled by the demon nature. It seemed that the people close to me were different from the beginning. As for Mei'er... If we put aside the affection and friendship, she was originally a demon. Before she became an immortal, she could not be converted to others for no reason. She had a purpose at the beginning, but I was controlled by Xuanmo and could not reflect on myself.

Mei'er's departure was definitely not because of my change, but because she abandoned evil and went to good. If she followed me again, she would fall into the path of demons with me and eventually become a puppet of the mysterious demon.

After thinking through all this, I couldn't help but look at the old man with white beard in shock. It seemed that on the other side I couldn't see, earth-shaking things happened every day. Being between my master and the mysterious demon, I suddenly felt that I was so small.

I barely calmed down my turbulent heart and said, "Old Senior, what is the origin of that Xuanmo? At that time, my master only said that he was an outstanding disciple of the Shangqing Sect. Later... he claimed to be the ancestor of Xuandao, why did he become enemies with my Maoshan Sect everywhere? And, I... what attracts him on me, so that he spared no effort to frame me."

The old man with white beard said lightly: "The Xuanmo is originally the orthodox lineage of Shangqing, inheriting the Shangqing Dharma Sect, and is the same origin as the Maoshan Sect. Maoshan Sect is one of the most famous sects of Taoism and was once the mainstream of Taoism. At that time, there was no existence of the two sects of Mixi and Xian. Speaking of which, he had to call me a senior brother. It's a pity that he relied on his own talent to lose his original heart until he became a demon and was eventually driven out of the Taoist sect. Why did he go against Maoshan Sect? Alas... After all, this is also the disaster of Maoshan Sect. If the two sects of Mixi and Xian can be together, how could the Xuanmo have an opportunity to take advantage of it?"

I focused on the key points. The old man with white beard said everything was right. Yes, if the two sects of the Secret and Exposition no longer fought, it would not cause evil demons to take advantage of the situation. But he clearly mentioned a question of seniority, and I hurriedly asked: "Old senior, until today, I don't know your origin. If you know Maoshan Sect so well, are you also Maoshan..."

The old white-bearded man smiled mysteriously, but did not answer my question, but continued: "Silly boy, you think the mysterious demon is so rare, it's that simple."

I shook my head in surprise, but I didn't know what to say for a moment.

The old man with white beard said: "There is one token that has been passed down by the leaders of Maoshan Sect for many years, that is, the Mixian Compass, a silly boy. Do you know that Yang Yuanshan and Gutan have been searching for the Mixian Compass for many years, but why no one found the whereabouts of this thing?"

Speaking of the secret compass, I also found it strange that all the eight treasures in the mountains have been found. There is no reason why I can't find clues about the secret compass. I immediately shook my head and said, "Senior, why is this?"

The old man with white beard laughed and said, "The answer is on you, which is why Xuanmo wants you..."

"Ah, me, this..."

I was speechless and said anxiously: "Senior, can you explain it clearly? Why can't I understand what it means to me? Is it possible?... Is it possible that the secret exterior compass is not an object, but... but a person, is it possible that it is me?"

"Hahaha……"

The old man with white beard laughed loudly, and after a long time, he nodded slightly: "You can teach me."

I jumped up suddenly, then took a few steps back in horror, looked down at my whole body, I, I am the secret compass, how could it be, this old man must be talking nonsense, how could I be the secret compass?

The old man with white beard seemed to have expected my reaction. Hearing this, he still smiled calmly: "Only the head of Maoshan Sect can own the secret compass. In fact, when it comes to this secret compass, it must be traced back to the innate Qi. According to legend, among the inheritances of Maoshan's past dynasties, the only qualified position of the head is the person who has the innate Qi. Before each generation of the head of Maoshan will become immortal, they must find a person of inheritance in the world and transfer their own innate Qi into the body of the next generation of the head. The compass will expose all the secrets of heaven and guide good and evil, and the creation is extraordinary... The three souls are inner plates, corresponding to the heavenly way, and the seven souls are outer plates, corresponding to the Tao, and Tianchi... is your heart... The so-called Tao, in heaven, the heaven is in the heart, this is your destiny, and it is also the creation of the Ding family..."

I trembled all over and asked in a trembling voice: "Then, then my father Ding Dazhi, what's going on now?"

The old man with white beard stroked his beard and said, "The secrets of heaven cannot be revealed. One day you will know, but it is not now. With the body of the innate Qi, you will definitely be able to find the same breath in the dark. This is why Xuanmo wants you. He needs your physique to complete the great cause that he will never be able to accomplish in eternal life. It is so difficult to start a sect and create a sect. Xuanmo believes that he can't do that, so he put his mind on the next head. He wants you to be the head of Maoshan Sect, but your master Yang Yuanshan and Gu Tan do not know this, alas."

As he said that, the old white-bearded man turned around and walked out of the room. I immediately asked, "Senior, you are..."

The old white-bearded man smiled and said, "It's time for you to see some things, come with me."

I first realized the truth, and then saw the mother of my birth, and then heard another news that shocked me. All this came too suddenly, making me feel that this dream was too illusory. Could it be that the dream I am now is all false.

Perhaps this was also noticed by the old man with white beard. What he asked me to see next was such a picture...

An old god with fairy spirit was a mountain and looked around. Finally, his eyes fell on the most ordinary farmer's house. I stared at the thatched house in a daze. Isn't it the home I just walked out? That's... that's my home. So, the old god was the leader of Maoshan who had become immortals.

But when the old god was quietly staring at my courtyard, a young couple walked out of the room and talked and laughed in the courtyard, very happy. Seeing this scene, I couldn't help but shed two tears. The woman was clearly the mother who had just parted with me, and the man turned out to be my father Ding Dazhi... But seeing that they were all in their early twenties, I guess I hadn't been born at that time.

After a long time, the old fairy nodded slightly, then reached out to take out something from the sleeve of the right hand, and looked closely and found a white aura, shining with dazzling light. The old fairy smiled, as if she was very satisfied with the family below, that is, my parents, so she put the white aura at her mouth and blew it gently.

The air ball flashed into my mother's stomach, and I suddenly widened my eyes. It turned out that everything the white-bearded old man said was true. He did not lie to me. The air blown by the old god was the innate qi. If it was not as expected, I existed in the world at that time. Sure enough, the picture changed in a flash. It was when my mother gave birth to me. My father passed away unexpectedly on that day. Except for my mother, it seemed that everything happened to everyone close to my family... Just when I was one year old, the old god turned into an ordinary old Taoist and came to my house. He first told my mother about this in detail, and then gave me an idea for my mother to pick me up on the roadside and adopted me... In this way, I am not eighteen years old now, but nineteen years old.

Anyone who is close to me is either accidental or unlucky. This is my special fate. I gritted my teeth and couldn't bear to look at it anymore. I sighed deeply, turned around and stopped talking.

People with innate Qi will find the same aura in the dark. Indeed, the Jade Buddha Bead was something I encountered by accident. Although I had been given to him by Xuan Demon, I could already think of the intention of Xuan Demon. He wanted to let all the treasures in the world belong to me and then use me for his own use.
