Chapter 23: Trouble Comes to the Door, Boss's Prophecy

Late at night, Taoyuan Square.

The lights in the corridor on the seventeenth floor flickered, flashing constantly.

At the very end, only the lights of Night Does Not Brighten Culture Co., Ltd. were still on.

"Old Yu, you are not young anymore, why bother to play such a joke on a little guy?"

Just then, Bai Buran's lazy voice sounded leisurely. He lay back on the boss chair, crossed his legs, and sitting opposite him was an old man with gray hair, who was none other than the old security guard Zhang Fan saw during the day.

"I just want to see what the little ghost who took the Zhenwu Jade Tablet is made of." Yu Fu grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth, and the wrinkles on his face were almost twisted into a piece.

"That's not good... scaring him away, I have no way to explain to Old Man Chu." Bai Buran shook his head.

"That little ghost took the Zhenwu Jade Tablet... It's so important, why did Chu Chaoran let a Zhenwu outcast like you look after it?" Bai Buran glanced sideways, indifferently.

"I am your boss after all... show some respect when you speak... the reputation of a Zhenwu outcast doesn't sound good..." Bai Buran glanced sideways, indifferently.

"I heard that when you were on Zhenwu Mountain, you did a lot of wicked things..."

Yu Fu's smile became even stronger: "Back then, when Liu Liu Nan Xu attained the 【Celestial Master Rank】, he was crossing the thunder tribulation in the mountain, but you were secretly practicing thunder induction on the side, almost killing him..."

Speaking of this, Yu Fu almost laughed out loud. If this were true, one of the three famous Celestial Masters of Zhenwu Mountain would be missing.

"Is there no absurd thing in youth? Who is not absurd in youth? Those are all past events..." Bai Buran leaned on the chair, leaning against the ceiling, his eyes leisurely, as if entering a memory.

"So, back then, why were you expelled from Zhenwu Mountain?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Bai Buran's eyes narrowed, and a cold light appeared, like a sword light flickering. Although they hadn't looked at each other, Yu Fu's aged face trembled violently, his brows wrinkled, and he didn't say anything more.

"That little ghost..." Yu Fu hesitated slightly, then pulled the topic back.

"Precisely because he is extremely important, he was handed over to me to look after..." Bai Buran said indifferently.

"First, I am in Yujing City with him, so it's convenient to look after him..."

"Second, as a Zhenwu outcast, naturally there are no taboos in doing things. Even if a huge mistake is made, it won't be Zhenwu Mountain's turn to take the blame..."

Speaking of this, Bai Buran sighed lightly, and a look of helplessness couldn't help but appear on his face.

"Old Yu, you should see it, that little ghost is a trouble..."

"Looking after such trouble, mostly you can't follow the rules... Look, our good days are coming to an end."

As he spoke, Bai Buran looked up at the sky and closed his eyes slowly.

"Zhenwu Jade Tablet, related to a sect's dharma lineage... How could it fall into the hands of this little ghost? He is not even considered a disciple of your Zhenwu Mountain..."

Yu Fu's brows wrinkled, showing a puzzled expression, then asked: "Zhenwu Jade Tablet, what is special about it?"

"Back then, the twenty-eighth ancestor of the Buddhist Zen sect, Bodhidharma, came to the Central Earth from afar, crossed the river on a reed, went to Shaolin on Mount Song, and from then on, the Zen sect took root and sprouted in the North. Bodhidharma also became the first ancestor of the Central Earth Zen sect..." Bai Buran changed the subject, not discussing the Daoist gate, but talking about Buddhist affairs.

"After this, Bodhidharma's mantle was passed to the second ancestor Huike, Huike passed it to the third ancestor Sengcan, Sengcan passed it to the fourth ancestor Daoxin, Daoxin passed it to the fifth ancestor Hongren, and finally Hongren passed the mantle to the sixth ancestor Huineng. After five generations, the sixth ancestor completed Bodhidharma's legacy and passed the Buddhist teachings to the South..."

"Since then, the Zen sect has become the most far-reaching lineage of the Buddhist gate in the Central Earth. Until today, there are millions of believers?"

Speaking of this, Bai Buran paused slightly, opened his eyes slowly, and a glimmer of light appeared in his dark eyes.

"The Buddhist mantle is still like this... My Daoist gate is deeply planted in the local area, and the inheritance has been for more than a thousand years? Zhenwu Jade Tablet, related to the sect's dharma inheritance, is not as simple as symbolic significance. The Patriarch's mystery is deeply hidden, and the mystery inside is really not known to outsiders..."

"The King loses his tripod, he must lose the world!?" Yu Fu remembered an allusion related to the theory of mysterious luck.

"Besides that, the Zhenwu Jade Tablet also hides a huge secret." Bai Buran lowered his voice: "About an old case of the Daoist gate eighty years ago." "You mean..." Yu Fu's face trembled violently, as if he had thought of something.

"Great Putian Dajiao, Great Calamity of the Daoist Gate."

With just this one sentence, the office suddenly fell into silence, as if it were a dead water cold pool. Whether it was Bai Buran or Yu Fu, their faces showed a solemn expression.

Eighty years ago, the experts of the Daoist gate in the world gathered on Long Hu Mountain. It was originally a ritual to pray for blessings for the world, but who would have thought that it would become the great calamity of the Daoist gate. The inheritance of the Daoist gate was cut off because of this, and many dharma lineages became extinct.

"How could it be like this?" Yu Fu said in a deep voice.

Regarding the old case of more than eighty years ago, he only heard about it. It is said that 90% of the elite of the Daoist gate in the world died there, and none of the five Celestial Masters of the Zhenwu Mountain generation walked out alive...

"Great Putian Dajiao, isn't it a ritual to invite the gods and bestow blessings on the world?"

"No one knows... It is said that Old Man Chu also went to the meeting with his master... The vast Long Hu Mountain, with so many experts of the Daoist gate in the world, only he walked out alive, holding a bloody hand of his master..." Bai Buran shook his head and sighed.

"At that time... what that bloody hand was holding tightly was the Zhenwu Jade Tablet."

Speaking of this, Bai Buran slowly straightened his body and looked at Yu Fu leisurely: "Old Yu, that thing is not only related to the Zhenwu dharma lineage inheritance..."

"It is also possible that it hides the secret of the great calamity of the Daoist gate back then."

Speaking of this, Bai Buran's complexion became even more solemn.

"After the great calamity of the Daoist gate, in just twenty years, Old Man Chu attained the Pure Yang Ultimate Realm..."

"The outside world has been spreading that the great calamity of the Daoist gate hides the secret of becoming an immortal... Old Man Chu only peeked at it a little and stepped into Pure Yang."

As soon as these words were spoken, Yu Fu remained silent, but his eyes flashed with brilliance.

How many Daoist practitioners throughout the ages, isn't it for the two words "becoming an immortal"?

Just two words are the greatest obsession of all Daoist practitioners.

"In this way... that little ghost is really a trouble." Yu Fu said in a deep voice.

He couldn't figure out why such an important Zhenwu Jade Tablet would fall into the hands of such a plain little ghost. Since it is so important, why did Chu Chaoran let him descend the mountain.

"Old Man Chu is already in the realm of a True Person, comprehending the Pure Yang Ultimate Dao, knowing the wonderful principles of nature... Perhaps in the dark, he has already known the destiny?" Bai Buran whispered, and his eyes also hid some confusion and doubt.

"This kid is so important, Zhenwu Mountain actually let you watch him?" Yu Fu's complexion became extremely strange, and he subconsciously leaned back.

"Look... I said this is a trouble... A trouble that can't be pushed away!"

"Zhang Fan... can that little ghost come today after being scared by me?" Yu Fu couldn't help but say.

"He will definitely come." Bai Buran seemed to see through the human heart.

"Why!!?"

"Because that kid is trouble, trouble will definitely come to the door on its own." Bai Buran curled his lips.

"Look, that little ghost..."

As he spoke, Bai Buran sat on the chair, turned slightly, and looked at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window, the stars were brilliant, the bright moon was high, and there was no joy or anger on his face.

"From now on, all of our lives will be different because of him!!!"
