Sword of Coming

The sky and the earth are clear and bright, washing away the old dust.

With an oil-paper umbrella under his arm, Chen Ping walked slowly towards the small rented house. Although he was seriously injured, he was relieved of his weight.

Bypassing the familiar Yashen Temple, when he used to set up a fortune-telling booth as a Taoist priest, Chen Pingan often climbed over the wall to watch the intrigues of the underlings and study their words.

Using means to find Gu Can's traces, Chen Pingan spoke to him, gave Gu Can an address, and agreed to meet there.

Of course, the earth immortals and monks of the upper five realms often have means of concealing the weather, and Gu Can did it on purpose, worrying that Chen Ping would not find him.

Chen Ping stepped into a Tianshui alley, and three practitioners walked towards him from a distance. Among them was a tough man with arms as long as his knees. Guanyu was a young man with a gloomy expression, "Hongtu, so what if you are not a child anymore, although you can't be as extraordinary as the sword fairy in ancient times, you can take the head with the flying sword of the founder of the mountain, but you still have to be invincible in the world and famous in the world The situation is good. Don’t underestimate yourself and be discouraged blindly, it will waste your time and energy.”

The young man nodded with a dull expression, not knowing whether he listened in, or whether it went in from the left ear and out from the right ear.

Seeing the figure in the green shirt at the corner of the alley, the man glanced quickly, not paying too much attention, but lowered his voice even more, first told the young man named Hong Tu a few words, and then turned his head to look at the man with two eyes The young woman jumping square with her feet together, her bones were fresh and her face was moving, seeing the uncle's gaze, she immediately behaved, and the man turned his head and continued to say to them: "This time, the master ordered you to come down the mountain with me, travel You can only return to the sect after traveling millions of miles across the seven countries. I hope you understand the truth that there are people outside the mountains and there are people outside the mountains. You must know that there are countless strange people who have been buried in the dust. Often it is only because the law has not arrived, and the real person does not show his face, or We pass each other in the busy city, or we don’t know each other across the street.”

Coincidentally, the woman raised her brows and couldn't help laughing: "Master, there is someone walking away with a sword in front. Is he the so-called master?"

There are some things that a man should not say. Leaving the sect this time and practicing in the world of mortals, one is to let Hong Tu relax and not be lifeless. He always feels hopeless because he can't practice the magic of the fairy family, which leads him to make several pieces in the world It's a chivalrous thing to help him regain his spirits. What's more, let the head behind him secretly hand-picked as the successor's personal disciple, to learn more about the world, mainly to come to a certain Taoist temple in the capital of Yuxuan Kingdom to help her find an opportunity for a fairy family. It turns out that there are three natural red lines on the brows of her heavenly court, which are signs of the so-called heavy murder on the mountain, so it takes her to hone in the world of mortals for a few years to get rid of the evil spirit all over her body, and to know the truth of hiding the edge before she can Study my family's immortal method. All in all, it is to let her know that it is far from enough compared to the top, and make Hongtu feel that it is more than enough compared to the bottom. The leader is not bad and hardworking.

Seeing that there was still a long distance between him and the green-clothed guest, the man still used the secret method of gathering voices to form a line, and pointed out to the two juniors: "Baoshu, Hongtu, let's walk the rivers and lakes." When meeting a stranger for the first time, it depends on the person's skill level and martial arts depth. It is not difficult for those who meet, but not for those who are difficult. Remember to pay extra attention to their breathing and footsteps. For example, the person in front of you does have some martial arts skills. It's just that his complexion is slightly pale, his breathing is slightly stagnant, and his turbidity varies, and the force of each footstep landing is not even, it can be seen that the foundation is good, probably because of the excessive drinking, the spirit is a little weaker."

Chen Pingan had no choice but to pretend not to hear this comment.

The young woman named Baoshu in the team is indeed suitable for cultivating Taoism. It is indeed a piece of jade in the rough, with the aptitude of an earth immortal.

Probably they all came into being as the times require, and there are such characters in every world nowadays. Some sects are busy.

Nian Ganlang of the Ministry of Justice has long secretly dispatched more people to Aquarius Continent and even Tongye Continent to find all kinds of cultivator embryos.

The sixteen geniuses sent to Luopo Mountain by the Dali Imperial Court have already boarded the military ferry and will soon arrive at Niujiaodu.

The woman asked: "Uncle Gao, I heard from Uncle He that there are immortal ferries, inns, and ferries in the world. As long as someone finds out the exact address, you will see monks and spirit gods all over your eyes?"

The man smiled and said: "To put it lightly, it's not so easy to meet. You Master He, you just ran into a group of Qi refiners in the deserted temple by chance."

"I heard from the master that since ancient times, there have been land gods and gods who have seen their heads and tails. When they first learned Taoism, they often had orders from their masters to teach them to make oaths. You can use the immortal method at will, and you should not be greedy for fame and fame in the world of mortals outside the mountains, so as not to mislead your children and make them mistakenly think that refining Qi and cultivating the Tao is a smooth path, some kind of shortcut."

"Let's say that the founder of our sect, even though he is a heavenly genius, has gone through untold hardships. When his merits and virtues are perfect, he finally forges into a flying sword. Within a hundred feet, the blue light is dazzling, and he can cut off the heads of bandits at will. , such as picking out a bag, easy to turn the palm, it is the realm of the ancient sword fairy."

More than two hundred years ago, the old Huang Li, a fairy mansion in the mountains with many fairy traces in local chronicles, gradually became a Jianghu sect that only passed on fists and kicks.

The few volumes of Daoist scriptures left by the patriarch, no one can study them except the current master.

Whether it is from a wealthy family or a master in the mountains, I am afraid that it will become an old style.

The woman looked longingly and said: "Uncle Gao, I heard that there is a Taoist priest surnamed Wu in the capital, who is proficient in fortune-telling, has a good fortune-telling reputation, and has a good reputation for being unyielding. The fortune-telling booth is nearby, let's go and have a look?"

The man smiled and said: "The people in the market are not real, and this kind of person is unlikely to be a god. When we go to Chongyang Temple, if you are still free, you can go to the stall to try your luck, if that Taoist is really a strange person playing in the world of mortals Aliens are also the good fortune you should have."

In an alley, the two sides approached.

Not to mention the legendary person who practiced Taoism and became an immortal, and never fell asleep when he was full of spirits, even a person who practiced martial arts in the world, with a restrained spirit, shouldn't be so sleepy and drowsy during the day.

The man glanced at each other, feeling very sorry, but he didn't forget to see the needles, and told the two juniors of the sect, and said in a thread: "The patriarch of this school has a saying, wine, sex, wealth, and things are entangled with the living. The celestial family is quiet, the way is on the top path, men and women are smelly, and they miss longevity most. This person is frivolous and sleepy. If the senior brother in charge is here, just recite the mantra, take a sip of talisman water, and spray it on his face , you can get rid of the entanglement of the Sandman and Nightmare, and restore your mind to be full. If you can learn to control yourself in the future, I think this person's journey to the top of martial arts will not stop here."

The two sides passed each other.

After walking a dozen or so steps, Baoshu laughed softly and said, "Master is famous for his kind heart. According to his temper, he will definitely stop and talk to this person."

Those who are of the same generation as the head, except for the uncle Gao Zhu, privately say that her master is a good man. When encountering injustice outside the mountain, take care of it. If you encounter unfortunate people in the world, you will help them. For this reason, the development of the sect and his own practice have been affected a lot, but the head of the sect always says that a loss is a blessing. Not long after she went up the mountain, she overheard some harsh words over the past few years, saying that the sect master was too soft-hearted, not firm in his Taoism, and not like a person who practiced Taoism, which resulted in him having little academic ability but no moral ability. Deep down in her heart, she felt that these statements were true.

A person who cultivates the Tao must have the appearance of a **** among gods, and should not put a clear and clear Taoist heart that should be shining in the mud, and defile his own spirit.

Hong Tu didn't know whether it was a coincidence or a blessing in his heart, he turned his head suddenly, just in time to see the man in the blue shirt with the sword turned his head to look at him, and he looked at him.

I heard a strange voice saying in my ears: "If you have leisure time, you can look for the stall of Daoist Wu and calculate the future. It's very clever, the price is fair, and you won't waste your money." .”

Hong Tu's heart was shaken, and when he saw the other party pointing to his ear, maybe he was signaling the tip of his ear, and happened to overhear their conversation, and they talked about the fortune-telling booth.

Hong Tu turned around and asked hastily: "Please enlighten me, senior, if someone is late in martial arts and is not a child, can he really become a master of martial arts?!"

But I saw that the man in the green shirt who didn't show the mountains and the water showed a ladder cloud vertical method like a light jumping technique, his feet overlapped and cracked in the air, and his figure was higher than the eaves of the alley in an instant. traced.

Baoshu heard the movement behind her, turned her head and took a look, only saw the cyan corner of the clothes, she was not surprised and asked: "Uncle, are you a master?"

The man didn't feel that he was mistaken, and said with a smile: "The movement is not small, and it is so tall."

Chen Pingan sat on a roof, thought for a while, looked in the direction of Zheyao Mountain, and didn't bother Ma Kuxuan's disciples who hadn't matured yet.

It is only natural to repay kindness and revenge, and it is not only a matter of one's own family, but also a matter of the world.

As for that woman who has a pretty good foundation and is suitable for going to the mountains to practice Taoism, it is hard to say whether she can become a real monk.

Not boasting, if Cen Yuanji hadn't met Zhu Lian, and Jiang Qu hadn't entered Luopo Mountain, most of them would have disappeared.

Forced to raise his spirits, Chen Pingan chose a secluded alley and fell to the ground. It has been a long time since he wanted to sleep until he was full.

Gu Can and his party crossed the streets and alleys in Yongjia County. The national teacher Huang Lie was a clueless person. It was the maid Gu Lingyu who asked for directions and found a secluded alley that didn't shit.

Outside the gate of the small house, apart from Chen Pingan, who was squatting on the steps with his hands covered in sleeves, there was also a group of unfamiliar faces standing there, apparently chatting away.

Chen Ping'an had a somewhat sluggish expression that could not be concealed, and it was obvious that he was seriously injured. This familiar scene made Gu Can's face darken a bit.

Gu Can walked forward slowly, asking the result with her eyes.

Chen Pingan said in his heart: "It's not bad, it's an acceptable price. The Yeyou sword was broken, and there is still a natal robe that needs to be refined and repaired again. Dozens of less important Qi Palaces have abolished the foundation. Repair. But it is not without benefits, in the long run, it will definitely not lose. Just take this opportunity, "

Ning Yao is right, Yuba seeks the truth and is more pragmatic than others. The immortal ascends to the ascension, except for the last step, before reaching the bottleneck of the fairyland, the monks are more pragmatic.

What's more, Chen Pingan's current road of cultivating Taoism, after passing the biggest hurdle of Yuanying's return to Yupu, has become extremely simple. It is nothing more than refining swords. When it comes to refining swords, it is even simpler, just eating gold Refined copper coins, and the Dragon Slaying Stone.

Chen Ping'an had already made arrangements for gold, fine copper coins, to discuss with the Dali Song family, and to do business with Beiju Luzhou Muomahe Liu family and Sanlang Temple. Let's go, according to Zheng Juzhong's estimate in Tianwai at that time, "as long as" Chen Pingan eats another 1,500 gold and fine copper coins, Jing Zhongyue can be promoted to Jingkouyue's rank, and the number of flying swords that are differentiated, there is hope Raise it to 800,000. If you are more optimistic, Chen Pingan can even think about the number of "millions".

So the real difficulty lies in the dragon-cutting stone. Gold and fine copper coins are considered "priceless but not marketable", but the dragon-killing stone is typically priceless and has no market. Selling others, so even Yu Xuan personally helped matchmaking on the top of Jiling Peak before, and he couldn't guarantee that he would be able to help find the seller. One can imagine how difficult it is.

Gu Can stared at him blankly.

Are you sure you have wiped out Mashi?

Chen Pingan changed the topic, "I took a temporary trip to the Great Wall of Sword Qi, met your master, and chatted casually, Baidi City will be closed soon, and he invited a female sword fairy named Zheng Dan Even though the guard is a ghost, she has very high swordsmanship and has a long history. Her swordsmanship has been passed down side by side with Zhou Shenzhi's Qucheng in recent times."

Gu Can nodded.

To be able to let Zheng Juzhong personally invite the sword cultivator to be the stalker, the Taoism must not be weak.

Gu Can said in a heartfelt voice: "The injury is not serious. After returning to Luopo Mountain, do you need to retreat for a while?"

Chen Pingan said: "It doesn't hinder Liu Xianyang from being the best man."

Gu Can said: "If it's really not possible, let Liu Xianyang postpone the wedding banquet."

Chen Pingan looked straight at Gu Can.

Gu Can said helplessly: "Joke, tease, make a joke, seriously."

I'm not worried about your compromising your Taoism, in case something hinders your Taoism, let's talk a few light words to help you relieve your boredom.

Chen Ping stood up slowly, and introduced them one by one, "I won't let you be busy for nothing. Let me introduce you. My pseudonym is Pu Liu, and my real name is Xu Fu. I'm in the Nascent Soul Realm. There's not much chance of breaking through. Breaking through the realm is not difficult. Shen Ke, the bottleneck of the seven realms of warriors, you can enter the Yuanyou realm immediately. I have already discussed with them, as long as you are willing to recruit, they can go to your side. Just take care of the food, pay or not , look at your mood."

These former "superior men" who were brought out of Ma Mansion by Chen Ping'an were either old gods or great masters. They each had a meal and hung up, the old woman was burned at the stake, and the ghost guard was given a solid meal. It was even worse for Grandmaster Shen. In short, they were all miserable to the point where people couldn't bear to look back. Now they just think about it and their livers tremble. If Chen Jianxian hadn't asked them to follow, saying that there was an opportunity to give away, the old woman would have thought of running away, not to mention Yu Xuanguo, she would have thought of traveling to other continents. As for Guan Gyu, he also has the idea of ​​returning to his homeland, and Shen Ke even wants to find a clean place in the wilderness. At least for a year and a half, the old warrior is a living person and he doesn't want to see him again.

Gu Can remained silent.

I came to help, please these? It's just watching from the sidelines, and in the end you talk to me about the reward?

If it were someone else, Gu Can would probably just say "I don't collect waste".

Chen Pingan raised his hand and patted Gu Can's shoulder lightly.

You, a new suzerain who was born in the genealogy of Baidi City, should I introduce you some children of famous schools with strict ancestral precepts, and upright gentlemen with dignity? Be open and aboveboard with you every day?

What's more, this group of people, who have just suffered a lot, are the most honest, and they can be used by your new sect. Their realm is not high, but they all have a lot of minds. They know how to behave and are willing to do things.

Gu Can glanced at Chen Ping'an, didn't say anything, turned her head to look at those few, he is polite and courteous in dealing with people now, without leaking water, clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Fortunately, my family is not big now, if I can get three It is a blessing for the younger generation to have the help of an elder."

Although I don't know the identity of the Confucian shirt youth in front of me, but as long as he is Chen Jianxian's friend, how bad is his identity? Therefore, the three of them all looked flattered, and returned the gift one after another.

In fact, one Nascent Soul and one Golden Elixir, plus a Seventh Realm Martial Artist who is about to enter the Far Journey Realm, is not bad. Just such a No. 3 person, who founded a sect on any continent, as long as he doesn't compare with the time-honored sects, the atmosphere is not small. Just say that a few decades ago, in Shujian Lake, Liu Zhimao's Qingxia Island was almost such a family property?

Gu Lingyan pouted.

These three are lucky.

After entering my son's sect, and going out, I got an extra amulet. After all, the "authentic ancestral court" of my sect is the Baidi City and Zheng Juzhong.

It depends on the owner to beat the dog. Even if the three of them hit a hard nail, the patriarch Gu Can doesn't have enough face, so does Zheng Juzhong have enough face?

And they, as the characters personally "recommended" by Chen Pingan, on the side of the suzerain Gu Can, they have an extra life-saving talisman invisibly.

Gu Can introduced Huang Lie, who had just been recruited by his side, "Huang Lie, has just stepped down as a national teacher."

Chen Pingan clasped his fists and said with a smile, "I've seen Senior Huang."

Huang Lie looked solemn, and solemnly returned the gift: "Little golden pill, how can you be worthy of the word "senior". To practice Taoism and longevity, those who have achieved it are the first. I have met Mr. Chen."

Chen Pingan couldn't help laughing.

Gu Lingyue laughed unceasingly, hey, hey, he gave a unique opinion for "Sir". Old man Huang is so good at flattering people, no wonder he can be a national teacher.

Chen Pingan asked, "What about others?"

Since Gu Can is here, Liu Xianyang must be indispensable.

Gu Can said with a smile: "This guy ran to Zhenwu Mountain to block the door."

Chen Ping rubbed his brows.

Gu Can said: "I declare in advance that it was his idea that we partnered up to meet in Yuxuan Kingdom this time, and I can at most be considered a helper."

Chen Ping said angrily: "You are showing loyalty."

Gu Can laughed and said, "I'm used to selling him."

Chen Pingan is used to it.

Gu Can said: "Pei Qian is also here, and he is at the Chenghuang Temple in the capital right now."

Before Chen Pingan could say anything, Gu Can said first, "It's what Liu Xianyang meant."

Seeing that Chen Pingan still wanted to talk, Gu Can was most familiar with his temperament, and immediately asked a key question with his heart, "What crime did they suffer in the Ma Mansion? , Mess, if I don’t find them a few bottles of panacea, calm down quickly, the sequelae will be too great.”

Gu Can is a bystander, and his realm and master's biography are all there. On the other hand, Pu Liu and the insiders are not clear about his current precarious situation.

Chen Pingan roughly explained: "Except for the fact that ghosts are relatively better, the other two are not so fuel-efficient. I helped them tailor several small methods, setting up a thunderstorm, giving fire torture, and the martial arts. discipline."

"A lot of them pass by and don't miss them, and a lot of them are fined if they bump into each other."

Gu Can couldn't help laughing, and gloated: "It's fine for Shen Ke to make it through. After all, he is a warrior. What about Pu Liu and Guan Yu? Even if the old woman has no chance to become Yupu, the problem is that even if she has a great opportunity now , she dares to retreat, dare to break through, dare to face the inner demons?"

Chen Pingan said: "In the future, as long as they hope to retreat and break through the realm, I will help them with a letter from you...to wipe out all their memories, just like they have never seen me, and it will not hurt their fundamentals. It just erased the memory."

Gu Can remained silent with complicated eyes.

Chen Ping laughed at himself: "Compare me with Mr. Zheng? Can you compare? You think so highly of a cultivator in the Immortal Realm, and insult a fourteenth realm mentor who wants to establish a religion and be called his ancestor?"

Gu Can didn't feel much about the words "establishing a religion and calling the ancestors", as if he had expected it long ago. Hearing these words, his Dao heart was not disturbed. Instead, he was concerned about the three words "immortal land"?

Chen Ping stretched out his hands to hold Gu Can's head, "I am both a fairy and a suzerain, Liu Xianyang is still a suzerain, and you are the only one who is not a fart. You only have the Jade Realm next to you, what the hell."

Gu Can was speechless.

Chen Ping said with a smile: "This is what I call a joke, a joke."

After entering the house, the old women looked around. There was nothing to see in the palm-sized land. They were very surprised. This is where Chen Jianxian stayed in the capital? Would it be too shabby? It's just that they thought about it again, and they quickly felt relieved. How can the Great Sword Immortal act according to common sense?

Chen Ping said with a smile: "Diligence is a cash cow, and frugality is a cornucopia."

The hall is simple, mainly an Eight Immortals table.

Chen Pingan greeted everyone to sit down, and said: "The rented place, the hospitality is not good, and tea is used instead of wine."

Sensing Gu Can's gaze, Gu Lingying immediately went to boil water.

There were no outsiders in the house, Chen Pingan asked: "Have you figured out the address?"

Gu Can said: "Let's choose Fuyao Island. There is a place. I have inspected it myself before, and it's okay. But I plan to go to Fuyao Island again to take a look. Maybe there is a better place. Son, the specific location, I can’t say right now.”

Chen Pingan nodded and said: "As long as Fuyaozhou is settled, there is no need to worry too much, take your time."

Gu Can said: "There may not be a ceremony."

Chen Ping smiled and said, "Even if there is a ceremony, I may not go if you invite me."

Gu Can said: "I know you are busy, so I only go to Qingxing Country, not Fuyao Island."

Except for Gu Lingyu who knows everything, the rest of them are all human beings, and they immediately chewed out the aftertaste. Is this a challenge?

What is the relationship between them.

He became more and more curious about the identity of the Confucian shirt youth.

Who, talking to Chen Jianxian, can be so casual?

Chen Pingan said "make up for the mistakes", and said: "Since I chose Fuyaozhou, I will introduce someone to you in the future."

Gu Can said: "If it's someone who came out of the Summer Palace, then it's avoided. It's doomed not to urinate in a pot."

Chen Ping said with a smile: "This person is known as the smartest emperor in the history of Fuyao Continent. I always feel that this guy is somewhere in his hometown, hiding his family fortune."

Because Gu Can stayed in Fuyaozhou for a while, she immediately guessed the other party's identity, and tentatively asked, "Is it the one who defends his son better than outsiders?"

Chen Pingan nodded and said, "That's him. Now that I'm living with Zhong Kui, sooner or later I'll be free again. You two probably have the right temper."

Gu Can smiled and said, "If it's him, if he wants to be the chief priest, I'll give it to him."

Chen Pingan said: "We'll talk about it when you guys meet, let's see if you hit it off."

Gu Can laughed and said, "If you beat him to death, he won't go to Luopo Mountain, but if you kill him, he will be willing to hang out with me."

Chen Pingan laughed and said, "Are you quite proud? Showing off to me."

Gu Can was overjoyed.

Chen Ping let out a long breath.

If there was a chair to sit on, he would want to sleep on it.

Gu Can remembered something and asked, "Do you know that there is a Chongyang Temple here?"

Chen Pingan nodded and said: "In ancient times, it was called alchemy. It is a geomantic treasure land where Dao Qi is condensed. I passed by it a few times, but I didn't go in to investigate it. Just by looking at Qi, I can roughly tell that it is a Taoist priest who is proficient in fire. Building a furnace to refine water pills is probably a strange person who dares to refine golden pills both inside and outside. I guess the realm of the master may not be very high, but the power of the outer pill is not shallow. Why, have we met?"

The few people I met in Tianshui Hutong just now seemed to be going to Chongyang Temple to seek immortality.

There are many legal traditions of Taoism, only the Waidan School and the Inner Alchemy School. At the first level of the Jindan realm, there is a watershed. Under the Jindan, the Waidan gains power. Seeking external objects to strengthen oneself often leads to rapid breakthrough. On top of the golden elixir, although the outer elixir will not become tasteless, it is not that important, but there are exceptions. On the other side of the Qingming world, the outer elixir also has a few dharma veins, which can be directed to Feisheng . On the other side of Tongye Island, Lu Yong's Qinghu Palace belongs to the typical Taoist Waidan lineage.

Gu Can said: "I just met and chatted casually. The master inside seems to be a Jindan Earth Immortal. He is quite courageous and dares to call himself the Daoist Huilu."

Chen Ping laughed it off.

Gu Lingying said softly: "It's not Qingming Tianxia. The Taoist name is unique and cannot be taken without authorization. The only one is as precious as the road to the Tao. On Haoran Tianxia, ​​besides the genealogy monks, the Taoist name is also It’s not just taken casually.”

Chen Pingan nodded.

Gu Can stopped talking about this matter, and changed the subject and asked, "Do you want me to go to Zhenwu Mountain with the Three Mountain Talisman and call Liu Xianyang over?"

Chen Pingan nodded and said: "Then you go and come back quickly, I will be lazy and wait for you here."

Liu Xianyang once knocked over Lu Chen's fortune-telling booth, and clamored to hit him once.

In the past, he didn't know the identity of the lotus crown Taoist priest, so he didn't hesitate, but now even if he knew it was Lu Chen, Liu Xianyang still didn't hesitate at all.

After Gu Can left, Chen Ping took out a talisman from his sleeve, turned it into a streak of color, and quickly swept out of the house. When the talisman fell to the ground, it was Wu Di, a middle-aged Taoist, who was already in Chongyang temple. outside the wall.

The main reason was that Gu Can was inadvertently involved in some kind of cause and effect. Chen Pingan needed to find out and see it with his own eyes before he could rest assured.

What's more, when he met those people from the "mountain foot" in that Tianshui alley, Chen Pingan felt that the matter was big or small. According to his habit, he still wanted to believe what he saw.

Gu Lingyu just pretended not to know the reason.

There are no rules in the wild hometown, but there is no lack of pride. Because of the lack of calculations, the kind of life-and-death friendship may be more than that of Haoran.

But it was the first time she saw a relationship like Gu Can and Chen Ping'an.

The old woman and the Ma family members are still speculating about the identity of the young man in Confucianism.

Although he was arranged to go somewhere, most of the time he would follow that young man for dinner, but as long as he didn't follow Mr. Chen to Luopo Mountain, he would be fine!

Before leaving, Gu Can glanced at Huang Lie.

You've "whacked" me twice on someone while I was around. When I'm not around, if you still dare to act like this, accepting you as an enshrinement on the same day, and then cleaning up the door on the same day, this kind of thing cannot be done by others, but I, Gu Can, can do it very casually.

Huang Lie seemed guilty, and hurriedly nodded his head. Don't worry, there will never be another chance for Gu Zongzhu to misunderstand!

Inside Chongyang Temple, the scenery is quiet. In the setting sun, the rosy ocher water forms a paper, the pattern is like runes, and the fish in the pond are like being in a Taoist book, eating immortal characters.

There is a lone bird rushing to the waves, fleeting.

An old Taoist priest with a long beard came up. Cheng Fengxuan, who was the owner of this place, noticed something strange in the temple. , the old Taoist stepped on the square step, extremely majestic.

What I saw in my eyes was a middle-aged Taoist priest enjoying the scenery by the water. I don't know whether it is a colleague or a fellow.

The old Taoist was not sure about the other party's intentions for a while, if he said that the temple is closed all year round, in this capital, there are not many friends who visit, and there are no good men and women who come here to burn incense.

So the other party either came over the wall uninvited, or... a man of the right way with real magical powers, able to shrink the earth's veins, thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, just like now.

Cheng Fengxuan sized it up, had a guess, and asked with a smile: "But Daoist Wu who set up a stall in Haier Lane, Yongjia County, Wu Shen Gua?"

Just based on the other party's attire, it is impossible to tell which line of law on the mountain belongs to.

Chen Pingan nodded with a smile, and said straight to the point: "Wu Di, the poor Taoist priest, has no Taoist name. Just now I heard from a friend that Guanzhu Cheng's Taoist name is Huilu? The poor Taoist has lived here for many days, and passed by Guiguan several times. I didn't dare to bother, so I didn't go to the door, and today I heard that my friend mentioned Cheng Zhenren, and his words were mostly admiration for the temple master, for fear of missing a senior who has attained the Tao, so the poor Taoist dared to come here to talk about it."

Cheng Fengxuan stroked his beard and smiled, and said narrowly: "How can the self-appointed Taoist name be taken seriously, fellow Taoist Wu, don't be frightened, or treat the poor Taoist as a villain and plan to ask the county government for rewards?"

Chen Pingan said: "The Lord is joking."

Cheng Fengxuan didn't bother to go around with this person, he was not afraid of the swaying shadow, and the good time was limited after all, he shouldn't be wasting in this kind of hypocrisy, so he said directly: "Ming people don't talk dark words, dare to ask Fellow Daoist Wu to come here to explore the scenery, Or should we study Taoism and weigh the poor Taoism?"

If it is said that colleagues are enemies, but he lives in seclusion in this Chongyang temple, concentrates on alchemy, takes two apprentices, and has nothing to do with the world. With this fellow daoist who set up a stall to make money, well water doesn't violate river water, there is no reason to cross.

Chen Pingan smiled and said, "May I ask you, is Cheng Guanzhu's ancestor from the Louguan sect?"

Cheng Fengxuan was silent for a moment, then heaved a long sigh, showing a little sentimental expression, "I never thought that Fellow Daoist Wu would know such ancient things, to tell you the truth, the Poverty Dao is indeed from a side branch of the Louguan Sect, but it is not orthodox, the same source is different, the source of water has long been Exhausted, the branch of Pindao is now in such a bleak situation."

In ancient times, real people came out in large numbers. At that time, among the Taoists in the world, there was a saying that the Louguan School was the highest and the Donghua School was the largest.

As for the Taoist legal system of the Lou Guan Sect, apart from being good at astronomy and divination, they are also very good at alchemy. Otherwise, it will not be able to stand up to the "highest".

After Chen Ping confirmed that the other party's words were true, he felt a little helpless. It turned out that this hidden thread, which was like a fish lying on the ground, was not in Gu Can, but in himself.

The old Taoist master of Donghai Taoist Temple, the master of Bixiao Cave, he secretly took care of the Tongyezhou Jinding Temple of the Louguan School, and even asked Luoposhan and Jiang Shangzhen not to do anything to Shao Yuanran by name. The old temple master gifted a quarter of the Ouhua Blessed Land in Luoba Mountain to repay the debt? Need to repay a sum of interest in this Chongyang Temple first? I don't know the previous three people, going back up, who would not be involved in a certain old patriarch of the Louguan sect?

Chen Pingan thought for a moment, and began to talk nonsense in a serious manner, "Since Master Jing is willing to treat people with sincerity, it's not good for the poor Daoist to play tricks. Ye Zhou, by chance, in a certain place in the north, there is a lot of affinity with the legal system handed down by a certain ancestor of the Louguan School, just like planting, the flowers should bloom here, and the melon will fall."

Cheng Fengxuan let out a bit of doubt, apparently half-believing and not daring to believe it all, is there really such a good thing that fell from the sky?

Chen Pingan continued: "Pindao is in the capital of Yuxuan Kingdom. Things are over, and I will continue to travel to other places soon. There is a 'ghost house' that is rumored to be in the Zhugan Hutong of Yongjia County. Grass, when the master goes there, he can tell when he sees it. The owner of the house is Xue Ruyi. Although she looks like a ghost, she is devoted to Taoism and has a clear spirit. Pindao has lived here for several months. , has a very close relationship with her, and they call each other Taoist friends. She has a personal friendship with Tong Shanjun, the god-named Dazhu, and it is because of her that Pindao was lucky to meet Tong Shenjun in the house. Apart from alchemy, you can take the time to talk about it, and say that you and Wu Di are old friends on the road."

Cheng Fengxuan pretended to be calm, and he was amazed in his heart. The fellow Taoist in front of him is deeply blessed, and he was able to have a relationship with that Tong Shenjun?

This kind of thing, especially in the Xishan area, dare not talk nonsense and put gold on your face, otherwise you are really not afraid of being struck by lightning?

In fact, Cheng Fengxuan was more surprised than frightened... just because his most important potion of medicine was originally scheduled to be smelted at the noon of this year's Dragon Boat Festival. As long as the medicine is successful, no more, no less, there are only two pills, one is indispensable, and more is even worse, the two pills just divide yin and yang. But the old Taoist is not sure about this, just because he lacks one of the most important medicinal materials, even though he has exhausted his mind, he chose the site of Chongyang Temple as a cauldron, and found a pair of "noon couplets" as a way to suppress the victory. However, there is still a lack of vital alchemy items, which caused the alchemy furnace to light a fire but could not achieve the kind of "running water" described in the alchemy book! If you can burn a fairy wormwood, it is like a fire in a steamer, smoked and moxibustion transported to Guannei, which has been condensed for many years? Isn't it... Heaven is beautiful? ! The reason why the old Taoist didn't look happy is because he didn't know the grade of the wormwood at the gate of the ghost house for the time being. How big is the firepower after burning?

The old Taoist became more and more suspicious, met this Taoist Wu Di today, could it be due to a mysterious and mysterious Taoist fate? If you really complied with the other party's words, it should blossom and bear fruit, and the fruit will come to fruition?

And Chen Pingan's original intention was to help the temple master and Xue Ruyi match up first, so that the two parties could take care of each other and form a good relationship. In the future, if there are any difficulties in Chongyang Temple, Xue Ruyi or Tong Wenchang, Chen Pingan will come to weigh whether or not to help, and how to help.

Chen Pingan was also quite surprised, and asked seemingly casually: "Pindao once saw a poor young man from a foreign country named Baiyun. He and his grandfather once sold pictures of spring cows. When they passed by the stall, Pindao helped him make a divination. I wonder if Master Jing has ever seen this young man who has the method of fate on the mountain?"

Cheng Fengxuan shook his head, "Pin Dao doesn't stay at home, so I've never seen this young man before."

It's just that the old Taoist quickly added, "The two apprentices of Poor Dao, who occasionally go shopping in the market, may have seen this person."

Chen Ping'an looked as usual, and said with a smile: "The poor Taoist thought that this fate of the immortal family would fall on Cheng Guanzhu and Chongyang Guan, but now it seems that it may not be."

This is the benefit of a high realm, and the secret words in the hearts of others resound like thunder.

The wormwood tree hanging at the door was given to Xue Ruyi by Lu Chen before, lest Chen Ping's fight with Ma Kuxuan would make too much noise and accidentally hurt her ghost soul.

And Lu Chen came to Haoran this time, and he was busy with the business, looking for the "noon fish", which was "difficult to catch for gods", that is, the later young Ning Ji, and now Chen Ping's direct disciple.

Could it be that according to the "original" context, Ning Ji, who was not found by Lu Chen and Chen Ping'an, would enter this Chongyang temple, and the young man would be favored by Cheng Fengxuan, worship him as a teacher, step by step, and finally embark on the road of Taoism?

Chen Pingan couldn't help laughing. Does this mean that he cut off the barbarian halfway and robbed the opponent's favorite disciple?

Lu Chen has already reached this level, and he wants to use the wormwood tree as compensation to indirectly help the old Taoist consummate alchemy? Settle a cause and effect?

It seems that the next time I visit Middle Earth Divine Continent, besides Longhushan Tianshi Mansion, if I have a chance, I will go to Middle Earth Lu Family to borrow books to read.

Chen Ping smiled and said, "It won't hinder the viewer's hospitality."

The old Taoist asked doubtfully, "Why do fellow Taoists say this?"

People of the Taoist sect are most particular about a "receiving spirit", and will not easily disperse their spiritual consciousness. According to legend, only the kind of Taoist gods who have stepped into the realm of heaven and man can not move their gods, but they are able to perceive things outside the body. The slightest change between heaven and earth.

At this time, a tall but sallow young Taoist boy ran quickly to the water's edge, slapped his head, and said out of breath, "Master Jing, there is another guest at the door."

Cheng Fengxuan smiled and praised, "Fellow Daoist Wu is really a prophet."

Probably because he noticed the playful eyes of this worldly master Wu Daochang, the old Taoist felt a little ashamed, the food in his Taoist temple was really not enough oil and water on weekdays.

Old Taoist priests like to be clean, and alchemy is most afraid of the intrusion of the red dust. Taoist temples are closed all year round to thank visitors. They can't steal or rob, and they don't want to be cheated. What a blessing. These two apprentices, although they have ordinary aptitudes and are not considered geniuses, since Cheng Fengxuan accepted them as registered disciples, besides following his own fate, he still placed high hopes on them, not just the lack of Taoism. Cleaning up the chores is so simple, the old Taoists still hope that they can revive the master's school with their own strength in the future, but the people who cultivate the Tao in the mountains, the method of refining the outer alchemy and taking food has always been passed down from teacher to teacher, so they choose Apprentices, preaching and teaching skills are extremely strict and secretive, and some Dao lines even have ancestral precepts that must be passed on in a single line. Lead and mercury are burned in a cauldron to be smelted into priceless pearls. As long as a golden elixir is cultivated, ordinary people can prolong their lives if they take it, and immortal masters can live long and see forever after taking it, and stay in the world forever. So that pot of pills was really made, exactly two, Song Juchuan and Zhong Shan, were lucky to have one in hand, as for Cheng Fengxuan himself, he had already formed a golden pill inside, so he didn't need external things to increase his Taoism.

That Wu Di seemed to see the embarrassment of the old Taoist and Zhong Shan's restraint, and smiled lightly: "Living in poverty, we are kind and honest, that's why we Taoists call ourselves poor."

The old Taoist stroked his beard and smiled, which made sense.

Zhong Shan was eye-opening when he heard it. It turns out that there is a reason for our Taoist priests to be "poor"?

Daoist Wu looked at the tall and thin Daoist boy, and said with a smile: "The world has money and no money in gold and silver, but my generation has Dao and Dao, but it is in my heart. It is not easy to enter the mountains, but it is even more difficult to cultivate Dao. It is nothing to suffer a little, and the sky will send great tasks to people. , will inevitably exhaust his muscles and bones, starve his body, and empty his body. This is the meaning of the problem of cultivating the Tao. Do not go into the treasure mountain and return empty-handed. You must remember to have no distracting thoughts, be devout to the Tao, and do not complain about the sky and others, and make your body and mind hesitant. Believe that your own opportunity is waiting for you. "

After all, Zhong Shan was no more eloquent than Senior Brother Song, and he was not good at words, he just slapped his head in a polite manner, and sincerely thanked the strange Taoist priest for his words and teachings.

Chen Pingan reached out and patted the young man's shoulder, and said with a smile, "Cultivating the Tao is hard work, let's keep working hard."

Cheng Fengxuan originally wanted to take this Daoist Wu to his alchemy place to have a look, but unexpectedly the other party directly said, "The weight of the tripod is unquestionable."

When the old Taoist heard this, he was speechless for a moment. Is there any similarity between the saying of "fisherman's respect" and the previous sentence of the Confucian shirt youth?

Chen Pingan said politely to the "Master Jing" viewer, "Purity and asceticism, no competition with things, true spirit."

Then he took his leave and left, and the smiling old temple master didn't keep him, but secretly made up his mind to go to that "ghost house" to try his luck and see how the wormwood looks.

On the way, Chen Pingan just passed by those people again.

Taoist Wu Di's square steps are no worse than that of the old temple master.

Seeing the old Taoist with immortal demeanor, after confirming his identity, the short man took out a secret letter handwritten by the master, bowed his head and presented it with both hands, "Blessings from the Yao family, by the order of the master, bring the treasure tree , Hong Tu came here to see Cheng Zhenren."

Cheng Fengxuan took the letter, opened it on the spot, read the content, looked up at the young woman named Baoshu, the old Taoist nodded and said: "It is indeed a material that can be made, and she will stay in the temple to practice with the poor. Three to five years is fine."

People are in good spirits on happy occasions, and the old Taoist is in a good mood. In fact, it is said that it is an offshoot of the Louguan School, and it is correct. It is similar to a villager who said that his surname was an emperor hundreds of years ago.

It's just that in the dark, he felt that the opportunity for the success of the alchemy this time was really on the so-called wormwood plant that Wu Daochang called.

Young and ignorant, he once uttered wild words, whoever is as idle as Lao Tzu is originally a fairy, and he refuses to be a fairy.

Now that he has a small success in cultivating the Tao, he is hopeful that he will succeed in alchemy. Whoever is as crazy as a poor Taoist has already succeeded in alchemy and refuses to accept the golden elixir.

Cheng Fengxuan asked his apprentice Song Juchuan, who was more active in thinking, to lead the three of them to live in Guannei.

Back then when he traveled from Central Earth to Aquarius Island, the old Taoist traveled all the way from north to south, stopped during the period, and chatted with the current head of Yao Family Mountain, and they hit it off. In the history of Yaojia Mountain, there was a founding master of Jindan Sword Immortal, but after the establishment of the sect, each generation is not as good as the previous generation. The current master Yao Guozhen is just a qi practitioner in the cave, let alone a sword cultivator. Now it is hard to find a good material and beautiful jade. It is estimated that Yao Guozhen thinks it is difficult to transcribe the Dharma, and he is worried that it will delay the girl's future as a monk, so she has the idea that other stones can be used to make jade? Haha, Pindao also has this idea of ​​adult beauty.

Just think of it as a good relationship with Yaojiashan on the way of practice.

In the future, when Song Juchuan and Zhong Shan leave their teachers, they will also have a place to stay on the way out for training.

Here in the capital of Yuxuan Kingdom, there is a Taoist temple with a very small appearance but a unique cave. It was once called Alchemy Temple, but it was renamed Chongyang Temple.

If the master of the temple this year and the people of the temple in the old days are contemplating and cultivating the Tao together, how can we distinguish who is the master and who is the guest?

Zhong Shan went for a walk with his master, and recalled something, summoned up his courage and whispered: "Master Jing, I know a friend who came from a poor background and was a foreigner. He fled to the capital and lived with his grandfather. He knows medicinal materials and can draw spring cows." Tu, he knows how to work as a bricklayer, and he can endure hardships, so I want to discuss with Master, can he come to our Taoist temple to do odd jobs and become a resident Taoist?"

The old Taoist asked casually: "What is your friend's name?"

Zhong Shan said, "Baiyun."

The old Taoist thought for a while and came up with an idea, but he said, "Zhong Shan, what do you think of our Taoist food?"

Zhong Shan said honestly, "It's not bad."

There is really not much oil and water, and it is always a full meal.

As for Brother Song's private grievances, I won't tell the master, lest the master who is more vengeful will hold on to him. When the master scolds the brother, the brother will turn around and beat me. The loss is not mine.

The old Taoist stroked his beard and said with a smile: "As long as your friend named Baiyun comes to us to do odd jobs and doesn't charge wages, I guarantee that he will have enough food for three meals a day. If he agrees, he will come here to help, and he will be a part-time worker first. Master observes him for a few more days, if he is really simple and honest, it will not be difficult for him to become a resident Taoist priest, but if he thinks he can't make money and doesn't want us to worship in Chongyang, then forget it."

Zhong Shan wrote it down silently, with a happy expression on his face. It is estimated that his Taoist temple is old and needs to be repaired everywhere. The reason that Brother Song figured out for himself, the phrase "know how to do some bricklayer work", has made great contributions and convinced the master.

Thousands of atmospheres turn back to the place, and the immortals from ancient times created this pavilion.

There is a huge stone outside the pavilion, the top of which is cut into a platform by a sharp weapon.

Sitting on the stone platform was a burly middle-aged Taoist, with a bearded face and suet-like luster on his skin, he seemed to be exhaling breath, with two white smoke hanging from his nose, like a white snake hanging on the wall, water around him It was foggy, and when the Taoist suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes shone brightly, which was quite frightening.

The burly Taoist spread out his palms, looked at the lines, discerned the mountains by inch, and looked at the four seas. Since he is a person who can watch the mountains and rivers in his palm, the key is that he can also look at the breath at the same time.

Numerology is in the dark, personnel and affairs are new as old, long-term doubts are not everywhere, one by one seems to have been.

There is a pair of teenagers and girls sitting upright in the pavilion. Both of them are so beautiful that they forget the customs.

The handsome young man with long beard and bangs, with a face like a crown jade, sword eyebrows and star eyes, with a long sword across his knees at this moment, can be included in the book, as a talented scholar or a young knight-errant.

There is a young girl next to her, who is so beautiful that she is so beautiful that people are at a loss for words.

They are not surprised to see this scene, this master who has just known for less than a year, once learned the lock nose technique from an unknown ancient stranger.

It's just that they have all kowtowed and learned art from their masters, but they still don't know their master's name or their sect. Is this a strange rule unique to the gods on the mountain?

Moreover, the master only said that he was following the order of his master, and he was going to Huzhou, northwest of Dali, to save a person with natural immortal roots, and bring him back to the mountains, so that he would be able to honor the sect in the future.

As an acceptance ceremony, the Taoist once gave them a gift, one long and one short two swords. He took off the long sword and presented it to the young disciples. The length is about three feet and four inches.

The sword pouch is old, colorful, and beautifully carved, but the master did not tell the name of the sword, only said that it is a famous ancient sword, which was forged by a real person from a land in a big mountain. Bending and stretching, you only need to wrap it around your waist when not in use. It used to be a sharp weapon for self-defense when Taoists climbed mountains and refined Qi.

No matter how ignorant the young man is, he knows that it is a treasure. Usually, he only needs to pull this long sword out of the sword pouch two feet, and he will feel that it is shining brightly, and the sword energy is strong. The middle-aged Taoist gave the young apprentice a short sword again, but never said its origin. I just told them to get close to the sword on weekdays, and to cultivate the sword energy with their own Taoism. Naturally, the two of them couldn't understand what Dao Qi and sword Qi were, but they just figured out a reason, thinking that it was the same as that person's principle of raising jade and jade raising people. That's why girls use daggers as pillows every night when they fall asleep.

After the Taoist opened his eyes and spread his palms, he glanced down and frowned slightly, but he quickly recovered his calm Taoism and closed his eyes again.

The girl whispered: "Senior Brother, Master himself just refines Qi day and night without resting for a moment. Master can fasten grains instead of eating whole grains. We are in this Taoist temple, but we have to climb over the wall and go in and out like thieves. Why? Why do we Why don't you go directly to Nazhou to find someone?"

The young man looked indifferent, shook his head and said, "How can I guess what Master thinks."

The two sides have learned martial arts and practiced qi for less than a year, and their light body kung fu has reached the level of proficiency, jumping between the walls and walls as fast as apes, and castrating in the mountains and forests faster than birds.

It's just that they still haven't practiced swordsmanship, and their master has never taught them, so there is nothing they can do.

As for the three masters and apprentices in the Taoist temple, it is indeed a strange thing that they do not know their existence until now.

A woman in a green dress appeared out of thin air and came slowly.

She stepped into the gazebo and said Yan Yan with a smile, "You are the two disciples that Senior Brother Liu just accepted, which one is Fengcheng and which one is Jingding?"

Ignoring their posture as if facing a formidable enemy, the woman introduced herself: "My surname is Xiao. In terms of seniority, I am your uncle. I will not mention the name for now. Our school has very strict rules."

They stood up and saluted this Uncle Xiao who popped out of nowhere.

"Junqing are all fairy seedlings, so they should cherish and love themselves."

The woman in the green skirt stretched out her hand and pressed them twice, so that they don't have to be restrained, and said with a smile: "Cultivate well, the road can be expected."

While chatting with the two children, she said to the burly Taoist priest with her heart: "Senior brother Liu, why did it become so lively all of a sudden? In one day, three groups of guests came?"

The Taoist replied in secret words: "There is no reason not to get together."

The woman in the green skirt said, "Gu Can in Baidi City, the maid Gu Lingyu, and the national teacher Huang Lie, how did they get together? I just got a spy report from the main hall. A wild female cultivator, her Taoist name is **. As for the number of her cultivation path, how did she follow Gu Can, from the wild to the Haoran world? Even the main hall is not clear. Check, Senior Brother Liu, do you think it's strange?"

The burly Taoist said: "The really important news is not Gu Can and Mrs. Wu, but the Taoist Wu Di who just left here."

The eyes of the woman in the green dress lit up, "Is there something to talk about?"

Can it be more important than Gu Can and **?

The Taoist said, "This person's true identity is one of the talisman avatars of Lord Chen Shan of Luoba Mountain."

The woman in the green skirt asked: "Is he going to avenge Mrs. Ma?"

The burly Taoist said: "The revenge is over. The previous vision in the sky is the proof of Ma Kuxuan's death."

The woman in the green dress wondered, "How did you recognize it?"

As for Ma Kuxuan's demise, she was not too surprised. She just couldn't believe it before, Ma Kuxuan really died like this, this news is too unbelievable.

You must know that many people outside are very optimistic about Ma Kuxuan's ascension within a hundred years. She doesn't care, it's none of her business and hangs up high, what to do with so many other things.

The Taoist said, "Gu Can leaves with his front foot, and Wu Di arrives with his back foot. Is it hard to guess?"

The woman in the green dress had a strange expression, and she was a little worried, "I just said why I lost the aura of Gongsun girl out of thin air. Could it be him?"

A certain book of landscape travel notes that sold very well and was banned, I don’t know how many spectators have been deceived, what kind of sympathy and sympathy for Chen Ping, that Chen Shanzhu, has been a ruthless master since he was young!

The Taoist said: "This kind of abandoned disciple with a weak heart, don't you still want to help her return to the teacher?"

The woman in the green skirt sighed faintly, unwilling to entangle Senior Brother Liu on this topic. Although they are referred to as brothers and sisters, they are always from the same family and have different bloodlines.

Thinking of the business, she asked in her heart: "Uncle Cheng still can't open his mind and remember the past? The main hall has asked about this matter, how should I reply?"

The middle-aged Taoist nodded and said: "Uncle Cheng practiced very smoothly in his previous life, and his blessings were profound. This life has become a burden, and it is even more difficult to get enlightened. If you return to the main hall, at least for two hundred years, you don't have to expect Uncle Cheng to return to the mountain."

She sighed and rubbed the space between her brows.

In his previous life, Uncle Cheng, at this age, was in the Ascension Realm.

This body is now the Jindan Dixian, so he is so complacent.

An expert once made a very vivid analogy, Uncle Cheng is a cornucopia of prosperity that he does not ask for wealth and luck.

Zhongtu Yuxuan, Aaiaizhou Weishe, Baopingzhou He Xiaoliang, Tongyezhou Huang Ting are all such people.

Then she was a little worried, "Will Mr. Cheng's roots be broken by that Gu Can?"

She was unwilling to have any entanglements with Baidi City.

In fact, it wasn't her, it was anyone.

The burly Taoist shook his head and said, "No matter how talented Gu Can is, I don't have the vision yet."

She pressed on and asked: "Gu Can can't see it, what about that person? Uncle Cheng is also true. He proclaimed himself the Taoist name 'Hui Lu', and it is easy to make suspicious people."

The Taoist thought for a while, "Master Cheng has a good fortune and strong Dao Qi. Even if he is in a daze, he can isolate the secrets by himself, just like the protection of the fist of a martial arts master. Each has divine help. Chen Shanzhu has just set foot in Wang Qi, so he should not recognize it." out."

She breathed a sigh of relief, and said tentatively: "That girl Baoshu is really talented, why don't you give it to the younger sister?"

Baoshu is the nickname of a woman from Nahuzhou, and her full name is Yuan Chaoxian. In the secret book of the main hall, the evaluation is excellent.

It is the "natural talent" that all three divisions of the school want to compete for.

Seeing that the senior brother was unwilling to talk to her at all, the woman in the green skirt continued to persuade: "You have accepted Fengcheng and Jing Ding as apprentices, so you must let the junior sister get a little bit of credit. I have been busy in Luzhou, Beiju these years. , There is hard work without merit, it's time to accept a promising apprentice."

"Let the beauty be credited, this gentleman's business."

The burly Taoist said calmly: "Unfortunately, I am a swordsman and Taoist."

The woman in the green skirt was dumbfounded.

He suggested: "You can take advantage of Uncle Cheng's memory of his previous life, and ask him to ask Song Juchuan or Zhong Shan to be your disciple."

The woman in the green dress laughed angrily when she heard the words: "Ask Senior Brother Liu, when will we be able to accept male disciples from our lineage?"

It turns out that her lineage has always abided by the ancestral precepts, passing on from daughter to son. Otherwise, she really wouldn't mind asking "Cheng Fengxuan" for an apprentice.

It should be known that there were gods in Zhongshan in ancient times, whose Taoist name was Zhuyin, and they were not under the jurisdiction of the Confucian Temple. According to legend, the Taoist temple formed its own heaven and earth.

Later, he was beheaded by his close friend Jianxian, praying for the solution of the soldiers and transformation, and turning into a human body in the next life.

At that time, the person who handed him the sword to help him escape was none other than Pei Min, one of Haoran's three masters of swordsmanship.

She suddenly asked: "Why did Uncle Cheng come to Aquarius Continent to make alchemy?"

The Taoist priest seemed to say perfunctorily, "There is God's will in the dark."

There was a moment of silence.

The woman in the green skirt was in a depressed mood, "He is the only one I miss."

She was a little moody, she thought she thought highly of him enough, but she still underestimated him.

"If you hadn't misjudged and met him in Beiju Luzhou, the world might not be the way it is today."

The Taoist smiled a little, and said: "Besides, what you call high opinion, Junior Sister Xiao, doesn't seem to be very high, is it just a martial artist who travels far away? And I'm sure that he can only have it in his life. Two flying swords on the first and fifteenth day of the new year?"

The woman in the green skirt avoided the serious and took the light, with a helpless look on her face, she said: "Warrior of the Eight Realms, is it Chinese cabbage?"

The Taoist asked, "Is there any other news from the main hall?"

The woman in the green skirt nodded and said: "A certain person came back here from the colorful world. Someone once saw her sword light like a rainbow, traveling across the sea. Looking at her direction, she is going to Fuyaozhou."

Although he only said "someone", the Taoist knew it well.

The Taoist seemed to have realized something, and turned to look at her.

She nodded.

That Ning Yao, probably broke through again and again.

Even if his Taoist heart is as firm as a burly Taoist priest, when he heard about this, he would inevitably look in a trance for a moment, and said softly: "It's terrible."

She nodded and said: "It's unreasonable to break the realm like this. It's only been a few years since she left the Great Wall of Sword Qi. Yuanying broke through the realm to Yupu, beheaded ancient gods, immortals, and defeated Daozu in a battle of swords. The closed door disciple has no power to fight back, soars up, and now..."

With a heavy sigh, she said helplessly: "I really can't go on, people are more angry than others, and it just makes others feel disheartened."

She then smiled and said: "I have become the number one person in the world, and across the world, I still come and leave whenever I want. It's really free."

The burly Taoist stood up suddenly, and this time, he became taller and taller. He was actually a head taller than the man in the north of Aquarius Island.

The uninvited guest, still invisible, just smiled and did not hide his sarcasm.

"The two seniors have such a high realm, and their identities are still very unusual, so they like to talk about my family affairs so much?"

The woman in the green skirt followed Senior Brother Liu's line of sight and looked at one place. After ripples, the visitor finally appeared.

The man was dressed in green and had a sword on his back. He had a slender figure, and his white hair on the sideburns had turned green again, probably because of entering the fairyland.

But his expression was sluggish, probably it was the fight with Ma Kuxuan, and it was not easy to win.

She couldn't help but asked curiously: "When did Chen Shanzhu come here?"

Chen Ping asked with a smile, "I'm also curious, when did the two seniors come to Aquarius Island?"

The woman in the green skirt frowned and said nothing.

Come here to ask questions?

This person's current real state? The price for him and Lu Chen to temporarily borrow the realm is to fall back from Yupu to Nascent Soul.

The Taoist explained her confusion with his heartfelt voice: "Before 'Taoist Wu Di' left the Taoist temple, he patted Zhong Shan on the shoulder, and he noticed the unusualness of Zhong Shan's roots. It seems that he didn't intend to, but he had intentions. As for when he sneaked into this place Yeah, I don't know either."

The woman in the green skirt became more and more puzzled, "You are a fairy, you don't even know?"

Their business is either killing or being killed. They are most proficient in lurking and sneak attack. How could Chen Pingan notice this place?

The Taoist said: "It may be your arrival that leaked your whereabouts."

The woman in the green skirt laughed angrily.

The burly Taoist said, "My name is Liu Taozhi, and I am the helmsman of the Xishan Jianyin lineage."

"In Tongyezhou, Mr. Chen has already met Qin Buyi. She is the former leader of the Cherry Tsing Yi lineage. After she resigned, her position has been vacant for a long time."

"This Liangting is Qin Buyi's junior sister named Xiao Pu. We don't even have a Taoist name in our sect, even if we don't belong to the same line, we are mostly called according to seniority."

Xiao Pu's appearance is just that of a man, his skin is yellowish, but he has an awe-inspiring and inviolable austere demeanor.

She put a wooden hairpin on her head, wore cotton clothes, stepped on a pair of cloth shoes, and said with a smile: "If you imitate the flying ducks, you will be ashamed of the sword swordsman."

Chen Pingan was indifferent.

Although the boys and girls in the gazebo couldn't hear the words of the three of them, they were all very curious about the identity and origin of the blue-clothed swordsman.

Feng Cheng, a young man with a horizontal sword on his knee, looked on coldly at the uninvited guest.

The young girl was Jingding, but she couldn't take her eyes off it, as if she had seen some exaggerated scene, her face was full of amazement and novelty.

Xiao Pu said: "I was fortunate enough to be in Beiju Luzhou, and I saw Chen Shanzhu fighting with those Beiyan cavalrymen and cutlushan assassins from afar."

Chen Pingan said: "Not long ago, the wild monks outside Tuoyue Mountain had seen that fight from a distance, and they probably felt the same way."

Xiao Pu didn't seem to hear the yin and yang strangeness in the words of the young sword fairy, and continued to say: "Back then, Chen Shanzhu's realm was not high, but his spiritual awareness was extraordinary."

At that time, Chen Pingan was traveling with Sui Jingcheng. On horseback, he really felt a little weird, without any clues, just an intuition about the crisis.

Chen Pingan remained silent.

It takes effort to speak.

Liu Taozhi seemed to feel that it was inappropriate for him to condescend to talk to this Lord Chen Shan, and because of the inappropriate etiquette, he dropped the boulder.

Both the person who cleans up the wrong and the person who credits the knife are extremely mysterious. Moreover, compared with the latter, the cleanser is more treacherous and unknown to the world, just like the assassin praised by Bai Ye's poems, he has truly achieved ten steps and one kill without leaving anyone behind. So much so that even Liang Shuang, who is a great celestial master outside Longhu Mountain, and Lao Zhenren, a great monk on the top of the mountain, have to ask Zhao Tianlai to know some inside stories. For example, the three veins of cleansing injustices are Xishan Jianyin, who is a swordsman, and Cherry Tsing Yi, who is almost all female assassins, and the last group of generals who occupy high positions and important temples in the countries of Haoran Eight Continents. "The Bowl Saw Man", also known as the Tinker.

It is true that Yu Qing is not simple.

Before that, Chen Ping only knew that the real surname of the "cook lady Yu Qing" in the Ma Mansion was Gongsun, who was a cleanser, but he was not from the Xishan Jianyin lineage. Because of breaking the law, she was expelled from the list and lost her status as a cleanser, and only then did she have a contract with Ma Kuxuan, and she was framed to the point where she is now working as a free coolie somewhere without pay, and is imprisoned by that same subordinate from time to time. Xiao Xing harassed him.

It turned out that she was still Xiao Pu's high apprentice.

Earlier, Qin Buyi took the initiative to find Chen Pingan and opened the skylight to speak frankly. The Xishan Jianyin lineage, whose identity and actions are extremely concealed, once wanted to put the helm on Aquarius Island.

Afterwards, according to Cui Dongshan's supplementary statement, when Liu Taozhi's line purged the wronged person, on the surface it had a dispute with Dali's Ministry of Punishment that did not result in human life.

The two sides held their own opinions, and the meaning of the Dali Criminal Department was very simple. It was up to the Dali Dynasty to decide whether or not to kill and when.

In the final analysis, Liu Taozhi's and Cui Chan's philosophy of governing the country are different.

Qin Buji was at Tongyezhou, and had taken the initiative to invite Chen Pingan to be the chief guest of Xishan Jianyin's lineage, and was even willing to recommend Chen Ping to be the Supreme Guest of the "General Hall" with his senior brother Liu Taozhi.

And Qin Buyi's so-called junior sister, that is, Xiao Pu in front of him, the head of the former emperor of Yu Dynasty in Tongyezhou, was cut off by her own hands.

In fact, Qin Buyi's most important thing at that time was her sentence "There are also dead men in other worlds".

This means that the Manhuang, Qingming and Wucai worlds must all have hidden chess pieces belonging to the three veins of purging wrongdoers, but the lengths of the lines are different.

Even so, Chen Pingan still pretended not to understand Qin Buyi's implication.

Qin Buyi is also an upright and forthright person, seeing this situation, he didn't say anything more.

Xiao Pu had nothing to say, and Chen Pingan didn't want to talk.

Liu Taozhi has a special status, so he must choose his words carefully, and his words should not be too casual.

There was a moment of silence.

It was Chen Pingan who broke the silence first, "Ma Yuemei of the Ma family, among the group of female sword servants she trained, there is a man named Chunwen, is he the one that Senior Xiao likes?"

Xiao Pu was in good spirits, as expected of a young hermit official who is good at seeing the subtleties, she nodded and said: "Mr. Chen is not bad, she is indeed one of the candidates."

Chen Pingan continued to ask: "Enshrined in the chime, she was once one of the Cherry Tsing Yi?"

Xiao Pu said: "Her real name is Gongsun Lingling, and I once had high hopes for her. It was only because of a trial that she disregarded public and private interests, vented her anger and killed others, and violated the precepts, so she was expelled from the Bamboo Basket Hall."

The cleansing of injustices is divided into three veins, except for the three hall masters who each perform their duties, but there are two leaders in the main hall side by side, regardless of their status and authority. They are the holder of the environment and the holder of the lamp.

Uncle Cheng mentioned by Liu Taozhi and Xiao Pu was the latter. used to be. Before the rise of Huolong Daoist, Haoran was the number one fire master in the world.

It turns out that they pay attention to the difference between day and night in assassination. One is to kill in public under the eyes of everyone. To avenge the weak, to get revenge, and to see the light of day again.

One is sneaking in the night and killing people silently and covertly. Even though the night is dark, the law of heaven is still clear.

Chen Pingan looked at Liu Taozhi, smiled and said: "Not seeking fame or gain, tossing and turning in the world of mortals, looking for people to save, helping those in need, doing justice for the heavens, is indeed respectable."

Liu Taozhi smiled and said, "There is a long way to go."

But Xiao Pu felt that there was something in that Chen Ping'an's words, didn't they seem like good words?

In this matter, the young hermit official is well-known.

Chen Pingan asked: "It is said that Xishan Jianyin's lineage was sent out of the country by my senior brother?"

Irony?

If I didn't really approve of your actions, would I be willing to chat with you so much here?

Liu Taozhi made no secret of this matter, and revealed his short story: "I had a discussion with Cui Chan on the matter of governing the country, but it was a pity that we did not agree with each other. In the end, Cui Chan still thought about my old acquaintance with someone. It’s why he didn’t kill us Xishan Jianyin. Facts have proved that Cui Chan is right.”

Chen Ping hesitated for a moment, but still didn't say anything.

There are not many people who can be regarded as friends by Senior Cui.

Liu Taozhi said: "I once met a scholar surnamed Cui in Shenzhou of Zhongtu. For some reason, he was sometimes sober and sometimes confused. But we are conversant in words and have similar personalities. We walked a long distance together and traveled together for many years. In the moonlight, there was a lot of drinking on the road, we didn't ask each other's identity, let alone explore it curiously, before we parted, we still only knew the surname."

Speaking of this, Liu Taozhi showed a little sadness, "I was just wondering about it back then. As a scholar, Mr. Cui has great knowledge, but his boxing skills are even higher."

Back then, when the snow covered the sky and the earth, we traveled alone with a sword, we met by chance, we hit it off right away, and we went to the same restaurant if we wanted to ask about our thoughts.

Chen Pingan corrected: "Senior Cui's boxing skills are extremely high, but he has never been very knowledgeable."

Liu Taozhi nodded, "Bringing this matter up to Mr. Chen, I absolutely don't mean to understand that reasoning won't work, so we have to move it emotionally."

Chen Ping smiled and said, "Senior is worrying too much."

Liu Taozhi then continued: "Although Junior Sister Qin failed to persuade Mr. Chen, I still refuse to give up. To be honest, even if Mr. Chen doesn't come today, I will take a trip to Luopo Mountain soon."

Chen Pingan shook his head and said: "Senior is kind enough to understand, and 'being an official' will be exempted."

Liu Taozhi hesitated to speak.

Chen Pingan said: "If it's just to bring up old things and chat about the past, I would like to personally invite my seniors here to have a drink at Luoba Mountain Bamboo House."

Liu Taozhi shook his head instead, "Is there really no room for negotiation?"

Chen Pingan said: "If anything, we've already had a drink by now. Bargaining with others is not my specialty."

Xiao Pu stretched out a finger and frowned.

Chen Ping turned to look at the girl.

Jing Ding pretended to be calm and smiled shyly.

Chen Ping just smiled and didn't care about anything with her.

Like Pei Qian, she seems to have the ability to see through other people's hearts and minds, or is it due to the magical power of the flying sword?

If it is said that the cultivators on the top of the mountain are all secretly fighting for the crossing, and they are all "carrying buckets to catch water" by their own means.

So now all the major sects in the world are robbing people, both openly and secretly.

Compete for those who have become famous and live on the mountain, and immediately strengthen the sect. Of course, they also grab the embryos of Taoism who have not yet entered the mountain, deepen their foundation, and strive to gradually see success for a hundred years or a thousand years.

For example, Qi Tingji's Dragon Elephant Sword Sect is fighting with young hermit officials for the group of sword immortals hidden in the wild world. Of course, this is a dispute between gentlemen, and it is far from being red-faced.

I also want to keep quiet with Fu Shu, the first apprentice of Zheng Juzhong in Baidi City, and rob that "Sword Immortal Xu Jun", Xu Xie from Liuxiazhou, hoping that he can be the head of the sect.

Fu Mo also personally found Wei Jin and invited him to walk in the same way, but Wei Jin refused. But Wu Shu, a martial artist at the end of Tongyezhou, has agreed to Fu Mo to be the chief guest secretary.

What's more, Luopo Mountain has also snatched a new "general worship" old deaf child?

Qingping Sword Sect also snatched two "private swords" of the Great Wall of Sword Qi, Xing Yun and Liu Shui.

To be honest, Chen Shanzhu and Luo Poshan can be said to be sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai. If you have the ability, you will grab Xiaomo and Xiegou from me?

Moreover, Chen Pingan and Ning Ji, a newly recruited proud disciple, are the existence of what the master knows and teaches, and the disciples learn and know what they can.

It's just that Chen Pingan never thought that the robbery was all on my head?

If I remember correctly, the last one who recruited me seemed to be Han Yushu, the Immortal Patriarch of Wan Yao Sect?

If he hadn't become the Dali National Teacher, Liu Taozhi and the others probably wouldn't have come to see him?

Chen Pingan was more concerned about Ning Ji.

Just as Chen Ping'an guessed, Ning Ji, whose alias is "Baiyun", is very likely to be brought into this Taoist temple by his friend Zhong Shan, and then the master of the temple, Cheng Fengxuan, is qualified to teach Taoism with all his money. The world is extremely fast, and he is far ahead of his peers.

Xiao Pu smiled and said: "Master Chen Shan, since you are not just the chief guest of Xishan Jianyin or Cherry Tsing Yi, then I have to explain clearly to you that the position of the Supreme Guest of the main hall is not yours. The kind of false title on the mountain that I think has great authority, and I am one of the only three people in the teacher's sect, who can know the identity of everyone."

Chen Pingan snorted.

Xiao Pu was speechless for a moment.

He just became the Grand Master of the Great Li Kingdom, so is he so arrogant?

Even if you don't want to appreciate it, you don't even bother to say a few polite words?

Chen Pingan said: "I just refused to be the newly-established criminal officer of the Zhongtu Confucian Temple."

Xiao Pu was stunned for a moment, and she couldn't say a word.

Liu Taozhi said with a smile: "Xiao Pu secretly stared at Mr. Chen for a while, and hoped that Mr. Chen would not be angry."

Chen Pingan said: "A good person walking on the road is like protecting the road for others. Why are others angry?"

Xiao Pu was obviously very surprised by this answer.

Liu Taozhi suddenly said something off-topic, "I have a question, I would like to ask fellow Taoists for advice."

Chen Pingan said slowly: "Any questions must be answered."

"What is practice?"

"As if nothing happened."

Hearing this answer, Liu Taozhi's eyes lit up.

Xiao Pu chewed these simple four words carefully, only to feel that the aftertaste is endless.

Chen Pingan clasped his fists and said, "Just leave it at that."

Liu Taozhi bowed his hand in return.

Chen Pingan turned to leave, then suddenly turned around and said, "Brother didn't say that you can return to Aquarius Island."

Liu Taozhi was caught off guard by the carbine gun and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Xiao Pu answered with help: "But Cui Chan didn't say that he can't return to Aquarius Island."

Liu Taozhi knew something was wrong.

as expected.

"Brother Cui is gone."

Chen Pingan stopped and turned around, paused for a moment, smiled and said: "In Aquarius Island, there is no distinction between north and south. I have the final say on many things."
