Chapter 102 still doesn't make sense; why did they betray their faith?

With a tap of my finger, I was instantly transported to Chapter 102, a fascinating world where I still can't understand why they betrayed their faith.

The old woman of Lishan naturally couldn't go against Su Bai's wishes.

In fact, the Old Mother of Lishan was not very worried about this.

In her opinion, since the teacher was willing to release the kitten from that void, he must have made sufficient preparations for him.

Not to mention, in these three realms, who could possibly harm him?

Anyone who dares to lay a hand on him, even if no one is watching over him, is enough to shake the Three Realms with just those three hairs on his body.

The Old Mother of Lishan did not try to persuade him, and flew with Su Bai toward the Jade Pillar Cave in Zhongnan Mountain.

Upon arriving at the cave dwelling, the Old Mother of Lishan did not continue forward.

Su Bai took a few steps forward and subconsciously glanced back at her.

"Senior sister, do you want to come along?"

Old Mother Lishan gently shook her head and said, "I won't go. I'm afraid I won't be able to resist."

"I'll head back now. If you need anything, just call my name, and I'll come immediately. If he calls for someone, don't worry, I have quite a few connections in the Three Realms."

……

Inside the cave.

Yun Zhongzi remained calm.

He had already sensed something long before the arrival of the Old Mother of Lishan.

Unexpectedly, the Old Mother of Lishan only sent over a cat.

Although Yun Zhongzi didn't take the cat seriously, the fact that it was sent by the Old Mother of Lishan and the way the two addressed each other during their conversation made him take it more seriously.

"Young man, open the door and welcome the guests."

……

Su Bai arrived at the entrance of the cave and was about to call out when the gate suddenly opened.

Instead of Yun Zhongzi, a child appeared before them.

The boy arrived at the door, ignoring Su Bai, looked around, scratched his head, and muttered to himself, "Where is everyone?"

Tong'er glanced at Su Bai, then turned and returned to the cave.

This scene left Su Bai completely stunned.

What does this mean?

Am I not a human being?

Although I was a little angry, it didn't reach the point where I had to swear.

After standing at the door for a while, Su Bai began to feel sleepy.

So he simply lay down on the ground and waited quietly.

Before long, the door opened again, but this time it was not the boy who came out, but a middle-aged Taoist priest.

The Taoist priest strode forward, bowed slightly to Su Bai, and said, "I am a cultivator from Zhongnan Mountain. May I ask your name, friend?"

Seeing the other party's politeness, Su Bai was naturally not the kind of person to be petty. He quickly stood up, nodded in greeting, and said, "My name is Su Bai, and I live... I live in a corner of the Heavenly Court."

Upon hearing this, a burst of snickers came from the boy behind Yun Zhongzi.

Yun Zhongzi frowned slightly, then glared at the boy before stepping aside and saying to Su Bai, "Fellow Daoist, please."

"Thank you, senior brother."

Su Bai's words were actually unintentional.

Before he even arrived, he had inquired about Yun Zhongzi from the Old Mother of Lishan.

They also learned that, according to seniority, Yun Zhongzi was their senior brother.

Along the way, Su Bai had been thinking about how to address him for a long time, and now he had accidentally started calling him by the same name.

The word "senior brother" left Yun Zhongzi stunned for quite a while.

"What did you call me just now, fellow Daoist?"

As he was asking questions, Yun Zhongzi's gaze suddenly fell on the small sword around Su Bai's neck.

Upon seeing the sword, Yun Zhongzi's pupils contracted sharply, and he involuntarily took several steps back.

"May I ask, fellow Daoist, where do you come from, who your teacher is, and what deep-seated grudge do you have against my Chan Sect?"

As he spoke, several magical treasures rose up behind him, all of them aimed at Su Bai's head.

It seemed that if his answer was even slightly off, those magical treasures would immediately fall on his head.

Su Bai was clearly also frightened by this scene.

After all, this was the first time he had faced such a scene. The gods and immortals he had encountered in the past were all quite amiable.

But that's understandable, since this person is, after all, a disciple of the Chan Sect.

After thinking about it carefully, Su Bai could roughly guess why these Chan Sect immortals were unwilling to go out.

"I've come here only to seek your guidance on some matters concerning weapon crafting. What brings you here, fellow Daoist?"

Hearing Su Bai's words and seeing Su Bai's harmless appearance, Yun Zhongzi gradually lowered his guard.

After putting away the floating magical artifacts behind him, Yun Zhongzi turned to the boy and said, "Boy, prepare tea."

Upon entering the cave, Su Bai jumped onto the stone table and carefully examined the person in front of him.

At the same time, Yun Zhongzi was also carefully observing Su Bai.

He was too excited just now and didn't properly investigate the cat's background.

Now that he has calmed down, the familiar aura he sensed from Su Bai surprised him.

As a former disciple of the Chan Sect

Although his cultivation level was not higher than that of the Twelve Golden Immortals, he possessed an extremely rare and virtuous heart.

At the very beginning of the Investiture of the Gods war, he had already learned from the Heavenly Venerable that the war was about to begin.

It's unclear who started it all by killing someone on the list, but ultimately it was the Chan Sect and the Jie Sect that engaged in endless killings.

Before the killing even began, Yun Zhongzi had already foreseen the final outcome.

So he thought of going to Chaoge to kill Daji, hoping that doing so could alleviate this calamity a little.

However, by then, Emperor Xin had already been bewitched by Daji. Not only did he ignore his advice, but he also banished him from Chaoge.

If Di Xin had been a little more rational at the time, perhaps things wouldn't have escalated to this point.

Thinking of this, Yun Zhongzi couldn't help but sigh deeply.

So many years have passed, and even now, recalling that scene of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, even he can't help but feel a chill.

He always remembered the teachings of the Primordial Celestial Venerable: as immortals and gods, they should bless all living beings and expound the Way of Heaven.

However, that massacre had already deviated from the doctrines of the Chan Sect.

That is why he did not feel anything was wrong with the departure of Manjushri, Cihang, and Samantabhadra among the Twelve Golden Immortals.

On the contrary, Julusun also joined the Western Religion, which puzzled him greatly.

However, all of that is in the past, and Yun Zhongzi is too lazy to think about it anymore.

Right now, he's very curious about the cat's origins.

The man and the cat stared at each other for a long time, until the boy brought tea. Only then did Yun Zhongzi speak, saying, "Just now, I heard you call me 'Senior Brother.' May I ask where your master is? Could you tell me in detail?"

Su Bai made no attempt to hide anything. He picked up his teacup, licked the tea, and savored it for a moment before looking up and saying, "My master is the Sage of Heaven."

"As I just stated, the purpose of my visit is to inquire about some matters related to weapon crafting."

"Oh, by the way, there's a question that's been bothering me for a long time: why have I never seen you visit my Second Master Uncle in the Void Realm?"
