"The higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment!"

"As the king of a country, don't you even understand this truth?"

Xiao Ling's voice came slowly.

Lu Li was startled when he heard that, not knowing where he showed his flaws.

Seeing Lu Li's nervous appearance, Xiao Ling smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, I know you're weird?"

Lu Li thought it was true.

Although Xiao Ling looked far from an immortal on the surface, Xiao Ling was a real "immortal"!

The immortal knows who he is, so what is there to be surprised about?

Thinking about it this way, Lu Li felt ashamed of his preconceived ideas based on appearance. The immortals in the legend are ever-changing, maybe this is just one image of the m immortal.

After correcting his mentality, Lu Li respectfully bowed to Xiao Ling and said in a deep voice, "Lu Li of the Imperial Dynasty pays his respects to senior."

Xiao Ling waved at him indifferently:

"Don't call me senior, my name is Xiao Ling."

Raising his hand and beckoning a stool to fly behind Lu Li, Xiao Ling said, "Are you disappointed to see me?"

Lu Li nodded honestly, he felt there was no need to lie about this issue.

"Then who do you think I am?"

Lu Li was puzzled by Xiao Ling's words, and tentatively replied, "Senior, are you immortal?"

Xiao Ling laughed:

"How can I look like a fairy?"

"You must know that immortals are omnipotent beings who go to the sky and enter the earth, and can move mountains and seas."

"Do you think I have these skills?"

Lu Li shook his head hesitantly, then nodded quickly.

At this time, he was like a studious child, completely lacking the solemn and majestic appearance he had when he was the king of a country in the palace.Xiao Ling shook his head and continued:

"Do you know why I suddenly appeared?"

"You must know that no one like me has appeared in Dayu for hundreds of years, and there is no one like me going back three thousand years."

"Some of them are just rumors of various gods and ghosts among the people, and they are basically rumors."

"Everyone is an ordinary person. The highest level of breakthrough in learning martial arts is to reach the grand master. The grand master seems to be their end point."

"Do you think so?"

Lu Li's mind was in a mess, as if he had grasped

something, but he couldn't say it.

Xiao Ling's words continued:

"If this is the case, where did the legends of gods and ghosts spread all over Dayu come from?"

"It doesn't come from imagination!"

Without a foundation, how can you imagine?

Lu Li's eyes suddenly lit up, he seemed to understand something.

"Senior, did you say that there were immortals here before I don't know the age?"

Xiao Ling nodded slightly and said, "Yes, but none of them are immortals!"

"They, like me, are just ascetics on the road to longevity, and they will all experience the same things that ordinary people will experience."

"Besides, the road to repair is full of thorns, and every kind of wealth law is a hurdle."

"There are also killings, scrambles, and intrigues, which are a hundred times more cruel than you can imagine."

"The vast majority of ascetics died on the road to

longevity. It can be said that there are countless white bones buried on this road."

"Ask for help?"

"Ah!"

Seeing Xiao Ling's snort, Lu Li was very puzzled: "Since senior thinks it's not good, why do you ask?"

Hearing this, Xiao Ling sighed heavily:

"Do you want to die?"

Lu Li's expression changed and his heart beat faster, but he still suppressed his fear and said, "I don't want to!"

"Hehe, how long do you think I can live?"

Knowing that he misunderstood Xiao Ling's meaning, Lu Li breathed a sigh of relief.

After looking at Xiao Ling carefully, although he didn't want to say it, he still said:

"The life expectancy of seniors is calculated in years?"

Xiao Ling laughed loudly:

"As a person who has sat on the throne for a long time, you can tell that my life is not long. Do you think my situation will be worse?"

"So that's why I practice Taoism."

"I don't want to die!"

"Even if I know the road ahead is difficult, even if I know the road ahead will be thorny, I will still go."

"pity..."

Xiao Ling stopped suddenly, disappointing Lu Li who was fascinated by listening, his eyes longed to look at Xiao Ling.

"It's a pity that there is so little aura in this world, it's not suitable for cultivators like me to survive."

"If you want to cultivate to a higher level, you need to go to a place with more aura."

Lu Li suddenly interjected, "Senior, I know this!"

"Although there are many rumors about gods and ghosts among the people of the Imperial Palace, they are all based on false rumors and cannot be regarded as true."

"But in the palace, there are still records about

immortals."

"Although there are only a few words, it shows that they have existed at least for a certain period of time."

"That's why I rushed here non-stop after I got the news that my senior had appeared in Shangyi City."

"After all, immortals have always been legends."

Xiao Ling's heart skipped a beat when he heard the words, and he finally got the news he wanted.

After guessing that the person in the courtyard might be the person in power, Xiao Ling was thinking about how to gain his trust.

With Lu Li's help, it would be far better than the effect of Lingfuzhai.

When he revealed his existence, he thought about this question, but he didn't expect it to come so soon.

Now hearing Lu Li say that there are records of

practitioners in the palace, and maybe there are some left behind, Xiao Ling was quite pleasantly surprised.

But he couldn't show it, instead he said calmly: "This is not too strange, there are always things left after so many years."

"It's just that they have all left this world, because this place is not suitable for them to survive."

"Spiritual energy is scarce, cultivation resources are exhausted, and it is even more difficult to advance to one level of cultivation."

"Originally, I wanted to leave, but my own situation didn't allow it!"

Speaking of this, Xiao Ling turned around and asked:

"Your Majesty thinks that the current emperor, who can stop me?"

Lu Li's face changed and he frowned, an inexplicable aura came from him:

"Senior, don't be joking, who can stop Senior?"

Xiao Ling waved his hand, indicating that he was just talking, if he had other meanings, he would not sit here.

Presumably His Majesty will check my identity

thoroughly when he returns from me.

Lu Li didn't say anything, which was equivalent to

acquiescing.

Xiao Ling smiled impressively:

"Let me tell His Majesty!"

"I am from Youyang, and for most of my life, I have been an extremely ordinary citizen of the imperial court."

"As a result, before dying, I wished to enter a mysterious and mysterious realm."

"Later, of course, he didn't die, but you have seen it, Your Majesty. Not dying doesn't mean not dying."

"So I embarked on a journey of seeking immortality, but I am indeed too old."

"The road is hard! The road is hard!"

"Plus my lifespan is short, so it's probably only a few years."

"It took almost half a year to walk all the way, how much time does Your Majesty think I have to go on?"

Xiao Ling said it calmly, but Lu Li knew the feeling of waiting to die, it was very painful.

And he knew that Xiao Ling's words were not true, so how can anyone cultivate the Tao casually?

If it's that simple, why haven't other people successfully practiced Taoism for thousands of years?

There are hundreds of millions of people in the royal family, and there are not a few people who seek the way.

Even the royal family used to have people who seek the way.

It is impossible that there is no one.

So Xiao Ling must have something different from

ordinary people, as for what it is, Lu Li doesn't know.

But everyone has his secrets, this truth Lu Li has always known, there is nothing worth exploring.

I only heard Xiao Ling say:

"When I walked to Shangyi, I found that there was not enough time left."

"This time will never support me to continue walking. There is a high probability that I will die on the road of seeking."

"So I changed my mind!"

Lu Li blurted out,

"So senior revealed his identity to attract everyone's attention?"

Xiao Ling nodded slightly:

"This is a helpless move!"

"Originally, I should leave quietly, but my body does not allow it, and I am unwilling to die like this, so I made this decision."

"It's hard to seek the way, it's hard to go to the nine heavens!"
