Male protagonist, you are targeting the wrong person

The water in Shuiyue Lake remained the same, but the old man sitting on the boat fishing had inexplicably sharp eyes. He looked at the mansion in the center of Shuiyue Lake with an unfriendly expression, and the fishing rod in his hand made a faint sound.

The fishing rod in the old man's hand is not an ordinary fishing rod, just like the old man, he is not really just a love-brained person who loves to listen to melodramatic novels. He just stayed in Shuiyue Lake for too long and was too lonely. He didn't want to fight with anyone, so he made up an excuse to ask someone to talk to him.

But now, it seems that he is no longer needed here, and his mission is nearing its end.

Guarding the remains of the ancient demon god sealed in Shuiyueze and preventing the demon god Chi You from returning to the world is the task assigned to him by his superior Yang Jin.

Now that the evil bone has been removed, he only needs to kill the mortal who was tempted by Chi You's soul, and he can leave this place, the place that has locked him up like a cage for tens of millions of years.

Therefore, the moment Yan Wenmo stepped out of Shuiyue Ze's mansion, she felt an overwhelming murderous intent. She looked around blankly, but found that the murderous intent stopped almost instantly, as if it had never appeared.

"Girl, come and drink with me"

Suddenly, the old man's hearty laughter rang in his ears. His tone was brisk, as if he was extremely happy to have been freed from some shackles. Yan Wenmo was stunned when he heard this, and then hesitantly said:

"I'm a mortal, how can I get through? Besides, there's a snake demon in here?!"

The old man laughed when he heard this and said jokingly:

"Girl, I'm not an ordinary person. You can fool them, but you can't fool me. If I tell you to come over, just come over."

Seeing the old man's casual expression, Yan Wenmo simply stopped pretending. She exchanged a small boat from the system, and then rowed the boat towards the shore where the old man was.

Seeing Yan Wenmo coming over, the old man conjured up a table of food and wine like a magic trick, then happily poured himself a glass of wine and said to himself:

"Girl, your doing this has freed me from my shackles. I will remember this favor in my heart. If you run into any trouble in the future, just take out this bell and give it a shake. I will appear and help you."

As he said this, he placed a copper bell on the table and pushed it to Yan Wenmo who was sitting next to the table. Yan Wenmo looked at him in surprise, and after thinking for a long time, he asked hesitantly:

"You are the guardian god who guards the remains of the ancient demon god, right?! Just like what is written in the novel, next to every vicious demon god, there is a benevolent and kind god to suppress them, in order to prevent the demon god from causing chaos and wreaking havoc on the world."

She said it with certainty, and her tone was full of confidence, but the old man just smiled at her words and changed the subject:

"Girl, with your aptitude, it is not impossible to cultivate to become an immortal, but it is by no means easy. If you only rely on external things, you will only have empty cultivation but no real strength. Cultivating immortals is not just about cultivation, but also about the body and mind. If you lack one of them, you cannot cultivate to become an immortal. Do you... understand?!"

Yan Wenmo was stunned when he heard this, and then subconsciously looked at his palm, and couldn't help muttering to himself:

“Is cultivating the Tao the same as cultivating the mind?!”

The old man chuckled when he heard this, then drank a glass of wine and said to himself:

"Color is not the limit of color, who can reach the end; emptiness is not emptiness, and one can find the root. This way cannot be obtained from outside, so thousands of words are useless to comment on it."

Yan Wenmo looked at the old man in astonishment. After hesitating for a long time, he stood up, bowed deeply to the old man, and said respectfully:

"Thank you for your guidance, Immortal Venerable"

The old man ignored her gift and looked at the sky instead. Then he smiled carefreely and said to himself:

"It's time to go, girl, I'll see you later."

After he finished speaking, there seemed to be a breeze blowing by, and the breeze wrapped around the old man's body. The old man, riding on the breeze, slowly flew up to the sky.

Yan Wenmo stared blankly at the old man who had successfully ascended, and couldn't help but mutter to himself:

"Are there really gods in the world of immortal cultivation?! But doesn't the original text say that humans cannot cultivate to become immortals?!"

In the sea of ​​consciousness, the system suddenly spoke:

[The novel you read only describes the experiences of the hero and heroine. As for other people, the author will not easily write about them unless necessary. Therefore, even if gods really exist, if the hero and heroine have never encountered them, then they do not exist. However, non-existence does not mean that they do not exist.]

Yan Wenmo was subconsciously stunned when she heard this. She frowned silently, pondered for a long time, and then asked hesitantly:

"If there really are gods, then why didn't the gods intervene when the Demon Lord destroyed the Yan and Jiang families, but instead just stood by and watched?!"

In response to Yan Wenmo's question, the system replied calmly:

【God loves all living things, not just the world】

So, if one or two families were killed, wouldn’t it attract the attention of the gods? ! But…didn’t they say that God loves the world? ! So it turns out that God loves the world, but it doesn’t mean that he only loves the world? !

For some reason, Yan Wenmo felt inexplicably lost, but then he remembered something and began to feel relieved.

Perhaps humans have long realized that God does not only love humans, so they established various sects to protect themselves.

Therefore, whether it is cultivating Taoism or cultivating magic, they are both means for humans to protect themselves. However, compared with cultivating Taoism, can cultivating magic, a way of cultivation that harms others and benefits oneself, really be tolerated by the Way of Heaven? !

It should be unacceptable. If not, why would the gods go to such great lengths to imprison Xiang Liu and seal the ancient demon god so that he would no longer wreak havoc on the world? But why didn't the demon cultivators disappear? ! Is it because yin and yang cannot be out of balance? !

Maybe that's the case. If not, she herself couldn't explain what the meaning of the existence of demon cultivators was? !

Moreover, people have seven emotions and six desires, good and evil, truth and falsehood. Can the difference between Taoism and demons really be used to simply and roughly divide the complexity of human beings? ! I am afraid it cannot.

Forget it, why bother thinking so much? The real thing is to wait for them to come out, go back to Haotian Sect together and resign.

After all, she went down the mountain with Shangguan Zhi and the others. If she ran back to Haotian Sect alone at this time, it would inevitably arouse suspicion when the forbidden area was damaged and the magic bone was lost.

But if she took Shangguan Zhi and the others back with her, the suspicion would probably be reduced by a few percentage points. She herself was a person who did not like to cause trouble, so it would be wise for her to wait here for a few more days reluctantly and take the opportunity to adapt to her suddenly increased strength.

As for why Yan Wenmo did not go to rescue Jiang Wenbai and the others, it was because there was no need at all. The changes in the formation were also a disguised test for the people who entered the formation.

After passing the level, they will all have their own gains. If they forcibly destroy the plot or even lower the combat effectiveness of the male and female protagonists, it will be extremely unprofitable and unnecessary for her. Therefore, the best way is to keep doing nothing here.

Even though the Nine-Turn Maze seemed dangerous, it was not a place where Jiang Wenbai and his friends would die.

Although the lightning leopard is fast, it lacks endurance. Although the sword manual is messy, it still has rules. Although the black iron is difficult to break, it is not unbreakable by human power. Among many medicinal herbs, the seeds of the carnivorous plant are not a problem for Xuanyuan Jing.

As for the heroine and the others, they will naturally find the pattern after more trial and error. Therefore, Yan Wenmo should not waste time on this and should just stay here and enjoy his long-lost retirement life in peace and stability.

After all, she was exhausted from the hard work these days, so she should take this opportunity to have a good rest and make plans.
