Chapter 689: The Water Dries Up and the Lotus Withers

Hearing those words, the lame Taoist walked faster. He always felt that if he stayed, something terrible would happen.

When the Taoist intentionally displayed his magical powers and without any restraint, illusions appeared around him with every step he took, and he had walked dozens of miles in the blink of an eye.

But the bald monk was not slower than him, and Chu Tai beside him would not affect his progress. After chasing for a while, the Taoist was finally caught up by the monk.

The lame Taoist looked at the monk and said, "Monk, we have already agreed on a time to meet, why did you bother to come to me with all this trouble?"

"I've seen that this Taoist wants to save people. He has some means and there is a possibility of success. The only problem is the changes that will occur afterwards. I can't handle it. That's why I want to ask you for help to see if we can save more people."

The bald monk paused here, glanced at the man behind the lame Taoist, and whispered, "Let's not talk about the distant future, at least his daughter can have a good ending."

Hearing this, the originally calm old Taoist suddenly changed his expression, the energy around him became agitated, and there were faint signs of collapse.

Upon seeing this, the lame Taoist hurriedly lowered his rays of light to stabilize his breath, then turned around to look at the bald Taoist with an unhappy look on his face.

"It's not like you and I haven't considered the issue of his child. There was still a chance to remedy the situation before it happened. Now that she's involved, and she's reaching out to us, how can we save her?"

"It's not about saving, but about having a good ending."

Chu Tai interrupted and expressed what he was pursuing.

"I know that those girls were led by fate and interfered with by the fate of the flowers in the sky. They had to experience the seven emotions and six desires, but the fate mostly guided the results. What they experienced was not important, and the results after the results were not important. If that's the case, why do they have to shed blood and tears and have no peace?"

As Chu Tai spoke, he stretched out his hand to absorb a breath of air from the old Taoist, and with a flick of his finger, a ray of light fell.

The magical method of forming a bond with the celestial fox guided the old Taoist's karma and materialized the karma of her daughter.

That breath turned into a pair of lotus flowers. The old Taoist felt a little relieved when he saw it.

"The flowers are in full bloom, the couple is in harmony, if she is living a good life..."

Before he could finish his words, he saw the twin lotus flowers gradually change color from bright to pale, from big to small, and their fragrance dissipated, indicating that their essence was changing from flourishing to withering.

Then the water vapor dissipated, and the situation changed from flooding to drought. The mud dried up and the lotus roots rotted, withering and turning into mud and dust.

The old Taoist suddenly pounced forward, trying to grab the dust. His eyes were red and he wailed twice. All the pure energy in his body dissipated and he kowtowed to the lame Taoist beside him.

Although silent, it is better than a thousand words.

The lame Taoist sighed three times in succession, looked at Chu Tai, and said helplessly: "Since you have seen the changes in fate, you know that it is not the fate of one person, one family, or one lineage. This catastrophe is in line with the stars above and the earth veins below, and is also affected by the fate of humanity. You and I cannot contend with it."

Chu Tai heard this and laughed, "What Daoyou said is not false, but it is too pessimistic."

"The so-called calamity was clearly the one hundred and eight demons that broke free from the seal, shaking the fate of the nine heavens, causing those thirty or forty flowers to fall from the sky and enter the human world. During this period, these flowers carried some demonic energy, evil spirit and calamity, which led to the premise that they could not have peace. As for the many love and hatreds that came later, I think someone really took this opportunity to stir up the human energy, and seek their own selfish interests by following the idea of ​​​​compliance with the way of heaven." Chu Tai said this quite bluntly, which made the lame Taoist's face change slightly. He hurriedly lowered his rosy glow to block his breath, and at the same time glanced at the sky cautiously.

Chu Tai didn't care about this and continued to express his own views.

"To put it bluntly, these girls are nothing more than a trigger for future disasters and great changes in the world. Whether they are dead or alive is not important in the web of fate. Their role is only to promote the imbalance of power within the current dynasty, making it easier for some people to completely destroy the current situation."

Seeing that Chu Tai had no intention of stopping, the Taoist couldn't help but glare viciously at the bald monk beside him, as if he didn't even need to remind him.

Unexpectedly, the bald-headed monk touched his head and said cheerfully, "Okay, don't worry. When you two were talking just now, I had already cast a spell to disrupt the heavenly secrets. It won't attract the attention of the fairy lady."

As he spoke, the monk looked at Chu Tai and said, "Brother Dao, you have also shown the future scene. I wonder how you plan to save this child?"

Chu Tai smiled and said, "This child's future destiny should be like this: water dries up, mud dries up, lotus withers, and lotus roots wither. So let him practice the water and wood method, comprehend the way of vitality, and he will be able to survive."

As he spoke, Chu Tai stretched out his hand and made another move. The dust in the old Taoist's palm and some of the dust that fell around gathered together and turned into a lotus seed. Chu Tai held it in his hand and looked at the lame Taoist and said, "Fellow Taoist, are you willing to hand this thing over to the child?"

Upon hearing this, the old Taoist hurriedly looked at the lame Taoist. Blood was already oozing from his red forehead and slowly flowing down from the grooves on his face. He looked very miserable.

The lame Taoist sighed again, took the lotus seed and observed it carefully, and finally said with emotion: "You actually succeeded? This thing actually has some possibility of changing his fate. Well, I will accept it, and I will find a suitable opportunity to let my disciple give it to his child."

Having said that, he handed the lotus seed to the old Taoist. Looking at the treasure that carried his daughter's fate, the old Taoist kowtowed three times to the lame Taoist, and then kowtowed repeatedly to Chu Tai and the bald-headed Taoist.

After being hit for a moment, Chu Tai dodged and reached out to help him up. This was what he wanted to do.

"Afterwards, you will hate me for causing your daughter to be unable to inherit all the blessings of her past life, and her future cultivation will be hindered."

"Senior, you are joking. If my daughter inherits all the blessings of the previous life, can she still be considered my daughter? Or only a very small part of her can be considered my daughter. What you want to do is to save my daughter's life. How can a mere kowtow express my gratitude?"

As he spoke, he knelt down again and paid great respects. Chu Tai had to persuade him to stop after much persuasion. The lame Taoist took the opportunity to ask him to go down and warm the lotus seeds so that he could save them in the future.

The old Taoist priest, who was originally very emotional, immediately stepped aside, and after moving his Qi for a while, he opened his mouth and exhaled a wisp of fresh air to warm the lotus seeds.

After paying a little attention and making sure that there was no problem, the lame Taoist slowly spoke to Chu Tai.

"What is this fellow Taoist going to do next?"

"I don't know what the word 'friend' refers to?"

"Naturally that is the fate of those flower daughters?"

As he spoke, the lame Taoist watched the fate of the Lin and Xue families from afar, and whispered, "The two fairies who are ranked first in the official list have been influenced by you. It shouldn't be difficult for you to deal with the remaining ones."
