Li Daozi returned to the room on the cliff to set up the formation. I followed him to the room where he had painted talismans and refined elixirs, and saw that the gap was misty. All the original scenes turned into darkness. Obviously, he had used great magic power to isolate this place and blocked the perception of heaven.

He took out a lot of things from his carry-on bag, including cloth banners, plaque flags, nectar bowls, altar-suppressing wood, law ruler, law rope, three-clear bells, fish roars, round chimes, green and mysterious seals and other items.

He placed each of these items with his own mystery, which made people dare not move them. Every time he placed one, he would chant something and express his expression was extremely pious.

I knew that what he recited was not the so-called gods of heaven, but the mysterious, but omnipresent natural power, that is, the will of the entire world itself.

He was so attentive that I couldn't help but feel nervous. I licked my lips over and over again, looking forward to the fact that after tomorrow, the old man was still by my side, as before, living in the back mountain of Maoshan Sect, silently watching me. Although I might not be able to see him, I was relieved to know that he was still in this world and still had a little expectation for me.

He arranged all the magic tools properly. The old man who had been busy all day finally showed a hint of fatigue on his face. He ignored me, but came to the cushion, sat cross-legged, and fell asleep silently.

Li Daozi rested, but I did not rest together. Instead, I walked out of the immortal cave, stood on the top of Wugu Niang Mountain, looking at the vast night, thinking about the master's previous desire to speak, what are you worried about? Who in this world will keep staring at my uncle and don't want him to continue to live?

I sat outside the cave for a long time. The mountain wind blew the forest waves, the insects were almost there, and the whole world was quiet, and I suddenly felt an inexplicable feeling that this world might not be as complicated as we see.

It is actually very simple. Each of us comes to this world and just survives simply, but desire makes everything complicated.

At this moment, my only thought was to keep my uncle Li alive.

If anyone wants to stop this, I will stand up without hesitation.

Even if the other party steps past my body, it may succeed.

I am full of confidence.

In the waiting process full of expectations and worries, time became extremely slow, but after really passing it, it was a blink of an eye. It was soon the night of the third day. I, who had patrolled Wugniang Mountain, returned to the immortal cave and sat opposite Li Daozi. At this moment, he had already shown the fatigue of an ordinary old man. The old man spots on his face turned yellow, his eyes began to become turbid, and he looked around in a daze, and then looked at me.

He stared at me for a long time, suddenly had a sigh of relief and said to me, "Zhicheng, do you know that for the past thirty years that I met you, my heart has been in repeated torture?"

I nodded seriously and asked, "Is it because of the devil in my heart?"

Li Daozi stared at my eyes and said, "Yes, yes, in fact, the most rational way is not to feed you, save you repeatedly, and cultivate you, but to kill you when you are born. This is the best explanation for this world. But sometimes I think again, this world may not be black or white. The reason why it is so colorful is because there is something called 'humanity'. I hope your humanity can defeat the demonic nature of the demon, and allow an innocent life to survive in this world and live this life peacefully."

I suddenly gave up on myself and said, "Maybe you were really wrong. If you chose to let me leave quietly, you might not have become what you are now..."

Li Daozi felt the sorrow in my emotions, shook his head and smiled, "No, this is not the best choice. I have been suffering repeatedly, but now, at the time of death, my heart told myself that I did not do anything wrong. Child, you are a good child; because of love, you may be able to become the guardian of this world order, and I, the times change, will still be left in history for people to comment, which is better - we don't worry about this issue, ambition, do you know who the devil in your heart is?"

I shook my head, nodded again, and then said, "In my dream, its face is like a cow's head, its back has wings, its head has ox horns or dragon horns, and there are eighty-one brothers under my command. The only one who can correspond to the Taoist scriptures and Buddhist scriptures in the past dynasties is the Demon Lord Chiyou..."

Li Daozi nodded and returned with certainty: "Yes, it is him, the Lord of Ten Thousand Demons, the Lord of War, the Lord of Jiuli, the devil in your heart is one of its countless projections in the vast world."

His words verified my long-standing doubts, and when I heard this, I couldn't help but feel a headache: "So that's it. If I say so, if I become a demon, I will be a demon who is extremely evil?"

Li Daozi shook his head and said, "Not it. In that wild and chaotic era, monsters were rampant, Bai Ling competed, Chi You rose to the coastal border, conquered Jiuli, established laws, refined metals, enlightened the people's wisdom, led the human race out of the land of Bai Ling, and established civilization, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was a saint; but the little girl who always dressed up in history was successful, kings and defeated bandits, and it was eventually defeated by Huangdi, so the laws of this world were tampered with, and the so-called laws of the heavens became the tool of the winner, and it became a demon, and it was full of hatred for everything in this world. But if you say how evil it is, it was actually not accurate - it was just an unwilling loser."

I understand that the so-called world hatred and the so-called eighteen catastrophe are nothing more than the laws of heaven transformed by the winner and the punishment for a loser. However, even so, in this era, if Chiyou, who is in love with hatred, is not a good thing after all.

Li Daozi hopes that I will use my great human nature to subdue the demons in my heart and rely on such power to protect any order in our hearts in this world.

I understood everything, but I didn’t know what my final fate was, nor did I know whether the sacrifices Li Daozi and everyone made for me were worth it. Although all of this turned into heavy pressure, I was full of fear and confusion about my future.

Li Daozi saw my expression, but smiled freely and said to me: "You have a clear mind and everything is fine; as for now, let's finish things. If I die, everything in the world has nothing to do with me. I have been recalling my life these days, and I feel that it is actually a perfection. The only regret is that I cannot see him again..."

I asked, "Who?"

Li Daozi shook his head, then stood up, came to the gap in the stone chamber, and said calmly: "It's just an old friend. I had an agreement back then, but it might have forgotten it; well, it's not too late, let's start."

After he said that, he took out a complete set of gorgeous Taoist robes from his bag and put them on it. Then he stretched his hand forward, slightly wiped it out, took out twelve slender white candles from the air, and placed it in the center of the magic circle. After forming a circle, his right finger snapped his finger in the air. The candles ignited in an instant. The twelve small flames kept turning, filled with a breath of vitality. However, I don’t know if it was a psychological effect, but I always felt that these flames seemed to have the possibility of extinguishing at any time, and I was very worried.

Compared to my fear, Li Daozi seemed much more open-minded. He lay in the circle surrounded by candles and said calmly: "Okay, everything has been explained. I will go, live or die, and it will follow the will of God!"

This sentence seemed to be a last word for his life. He closed his eyes and then immediately fell into a deep sleep.

In the leaping candlelight, I carefully looked at the living legend, with a lot of thoughts in my heart.

I didn't expect that the devil in my body was actually a projection of Chi You's devil. I didn't expect that a Taoist priest who was influenced by Taoism would give Chi You such an evaluation. What I didn't expect was that at the most critical moment in his life, even my master Tao Jinhong was unable to be with him, but chose me.

As he said, the rest of his life was spent in anxiety and self-denial, but he finally chose to believe me.

This old man, who was sleeping here at this moment, no longer had the immortal spirit and spirit of the top masters in the world. Although he was wearing the most solemn Taoist robe in Taoism, he gave people the feeling that it was no different from the old people he saw in the countryside.

He is old, really old, no longer a legend, but just an ordinary old man.

I sat with my hands in the cave, my eyes quietly looking at the twelve candles, and saw the flames jumping, and every flashing was wandering on the edge of life and death, which made me extremely entangled and nervous.

I don’t know how long it took, but the candle burned for most of the time. Suddenly, there was a burst of lightning and thunder in the gap, and then wandered away from here.

My heart thundered and I suddenly got up, but I felt the calm Qi field be in chaos. The candlelight was jumping, which scared me so much that I quickly settled my body. Then I saw the lightning constantly shining in the gap, but it was missing without breaking through.

At first it was lightning, then it was wind like a knife, and wind, frost, rain and snow, changing thousands of times, but there seemed to be a continuous stream of power in the magic circle, blocking all interference in the world.
