Chapter 106 Even Saints Are Human

Thinking back, it was in Yunzhongzi's cave.

Su Bai asked him why he had rarely seen them in the Void.

It could even be said that when Su Bai was born here, he almost never saw the troubled expression on his face when any disciples of the Chan Sect arrived.

At this moment, Su Bai had probably already guessed some of the answers.

The second senior brother in front of me is extremely concerned about his reputation.

Even if he really missed those disciples of the Chan Sect, he would never show it on his face.

To put it simply, there's only one sentence that can describe it.

To die is to face and suffer.

Thinking of this, Su Bai jumped off the couch and then released a few fish from his small sword.

"Second Uncle, these are some fish I caught outside. I'm bringing you some to try today."

"This fish tastes extremely..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yuanshi suddenly said in a cold voice, "Nonsense! I am a sage. Sages do not eat grains. How could I possibly eat such swill? Take it away!"

Upon hearing this, Su Bai was taken aback.

Hey.

What does this old man mean?

Why pull yourself over here just to show off your supposed saintly superiority?

Isn't this just making trouble for no reason?

Without further ado, Su Bai, upon hearing Yuan Shi's words, immediately began to catch the fish one by one and put them back into the small sword.

This scene infuriated Yuanshi.

In these three realms, anyone who has come into contact with Yuanshi knows his temperament.

Sometimes, even though he says no, he actually wants it in his heart.

But this cat is just too serious.

As the cat was about to stuff all the fish back into the small sword, Yuan Shi's brows furrowed even more.

"Cat, do you still have the Heaven-Opening Blade that I gave you before?"

Su Bai is catching fish at this moment.

These fish are all big and lively, and they're quite difficult to catch.

However, upon hearing Yuanshi's question, he stopped what he was doing and then looked at Yuanshi and said, "I accidentally used it up before, but that day was purely an accident. If it weren't for the petty nature of the Supreme Lord Laozi of the Heavenly Court, I wouldn't have acted so recklessly."

This matter is actually known to all the saints. After all, it is the Heaven-Opening Blade. With such power, anyone in the Three Realms with even a little ability would be able to sense that terrifying aura.

At first, the saints felt that Yuanshi's actions were truly inappropriate.

This cat is only at the Qi Refining stage and has no control over such a treasure. If it is not controlled properly, the Three Realms may face a huge crisis.

But later, when the Heavenly Blade of Creation burst forth, the saints, for some reason, felt a slight sense of joy.

Even though it wasn't shown on his face at the time, on that day, the entire Void Land, except for the southern human territory, was bathed in clear, sunny weather.

It even occasionally rains.

"I heard you went to find Yun Zhongzi in the outside world?" Yuanshi continued to ask.

Although he can hear and see everything happening in the outside world.

However, when facing his own disciples, he became unwilling to eavesdrop.

I don't want to eavesdrop, but I still want to know.

Therefore, Su Bai could only tell him on his behalf.

After all, in this void, he hadn't seen any of the disciples of the Chan Sect for a very long time.

Su Bai looked intently at Yuan Shi.

Unconsciously, he noticed a hint of arrogance on Yuan Shi's face.

Su Bai jumped onto the couch, then sat down beside Yuan Shi, leaned forward and whispered, "That Senior Brother Yun Zhongzi told me that he had come here once before."

Yuanshi nodded slightly: "He did come once before, but he talked a lot of nonsense, which I found very displeasing, so I reprimanded him a few times."

"So he said he might not come anymore, to avoid getting scolded."

……

At the Jade Pillar Cave in Zhongnan Mountain, Yun Zhongzi was currently refining a magical artifact. He was even more interested in the self-destructing magical artifact that Su Bai had mentioned.

If he followed Su Bai's instructions and refined a self-destructing magic weapon in the same way as Yu Qiushui, and used the best materials to refine it, wouldn't the power of the explosion be earth-shattering?

At this moment, Yun Zhongzi was in his cave, and he had reached the most critical moment. If he was even slightly distracted, the entire cave would explode or even collapse.

But at that moment, his primordial spirit suddenly stirred, and a strange sense of crisis arose spontaneously.

At the same time, the self-destructing magic weapon in his hand began to become extremely unstable, and he hurriedly controlled his magic power to try to stabilize it.

Before he could react, he heard a loud bang.

A cloud of black smoke billowed out of the cave entrance.

The boy standing outside the door was startled and peered into the cave, calling out, "Master, are you... alright?"

After a long while, Yun Zhongzi emerged from the cave, covered in dust. His face was grave, one hand behind his back, the other constantly calculating something.

"What a tragedy!"

"What a tragedy!"

……

"Did Yun Zhongzi really say that?" Yuanshi asked with a hint of doubt.

He knew exactly what Yun Zhongzi was like. As the True Immortal of Fortune and Virtue of the Chan Sect, his character was beyond reproach within the Chan Sect and even in the Three Realms.

For some reason, Yuan Shi actually felt that what Su Bai said seemed to be true.

Thinking back carefully to the day Yun Zhongzi came to this void, I realized that I did indeed curse him.

Although no profanity was used, the words spoken were really not pleasant to hear.

But what's wrong with me scolding them a few times as their master?

Normally, when the old Taoist priest scolds Su Bai, it's much dirtier than what he says.

Su Bai clearly noticed the slight doubt that flashed in Yuan Shi's eyes. Although it was extremely subtle, he still managed to catch it.

"Does my senior brother miss them?"

Missing them?

Yuanshi snorted coldly and turned his gaze elsewhere.

As a sage, he is without emotion or desire. Even if he sits here for ten thousand years, he will not be shaken in the slightest.

However, seeing the disgusting and nauseatingly sweet master-disciple relationship between the old Taoist and Su Bai every day, Yuan Shi's heart was actually stirred by a slight fluctuation.

He would even occasionally have a thought that he himself couldn't believe.

"If this cat were my disciple, would I treat him the same way? And how would he treat me?"

……

For those who cultivate themselves, thoughts are essentially useless.

As for the sage's understanding of the word "thought," there is a single word.

Distracting thoughts.

For a sage, eliminating distracting thoughts is easy, but if such thoughts take root or even sprout in the heart, the consequences will be unimaginable.
