Spring and Autumn King's Banner

The great road of heaven and earth, everything has animism, the five elements are derived from hundreds of things, and the Tao exists in all directions.

According to a certain lineage of various schools of thought, all things in the world belong to the five elements. Metal, wood, water, fire, and earth correspond to the lungs, liver, kidneys, heart, and spleen in the small world of the human body. The same is true for the energy of heaven and earth. The four spirits of southeast, northwest, and southeast correspond to metal. Wood, water, and fire, the middle palace corresponds to earth.The spiritual energy of heaven and earth absorbed by the Yanguan Formation was consumed by the four spirits and transformed into their corresponding auras. Jiayi wood in the east, Bingding fire in the south, Genxin gold in the west, and Rengui water in the north. Except for the Wuji soil in the center, which had been After the array itself has been used up, the remaining four directions have their own remaining parts. After acting on the human body, it will make the person closer to the great avenue of heaven and earth. This is what Jianghu immortals often say, such as the great avenue is close to water and the great avenue is close to fire. .

Of course, as for how to get the favor of these four charms, in the past countless years, there have been various opinions in the Jiuzhou arena, including tricks, marriage proposals, and hard grabs. But in the end, they are basically the same, and it has been verified that it may not be feasible. It does not mean that anyone can definitely get it by simply jumping into Shuixiu Lake. The so-called "destined relationship" is a secret. Mysterious and wonderful, indescribable.

In the pastry shop on one side of Wufang Pavilion, Zhang Jinhuai looked at the Han Yuan Fu opposite and said seriously: "According to the rules of most Jiazi period in the past, these four fortunes, which are all based on luck, may not necessarily end in the Jiazi period. , before the town closes, everyone has a place to belong to. If some people can't find a destined person, they will most likely continue to lie dormant, waiting for the next Jiazi appointment and the town will open. Even if someone succeeds, it will be because of its extraordinary value, so in After they succeeded, they kept silent, and the immortal sects behind them used various methods to cover it up, trying to bring it back to the mountain gate safely. "

"But?" Han Yuanfu was not surprised when he heard this and asked two words calmly.

Zhang Jinhuai laughed a little, shook his head and said with a smile: "You guessed it right, there was indeed an exception this time."

After saying that, he turned his head and glanced at the worshiping elder He Zhongqiu beside him.

Elder He, a master of the Immortal Way, naturally received the young man's eyes, and explained with kindness: "In the past, most of the people who were known to have received this great opportunity were the seeds of the Immortal Way with excellent talents here, and their own charms Most of them have already negotiated the deal when they join, and there will be a large number of Xianmen sects behind them, so they are not too afraid of others robbing them. It is more likely that they have used means to cover up the aura from the beginning until they can safely return to the mountain gate. , some leaks may be inadvertently leaked after the refining is completed, but in this issue alone, an accident occurred. The water charm belonging to the Northern Xuanwu fell on a helpless young man, and so far. There is still no cover-up.”

"Chu Yuanxiao." Han Yuanfu almost instantly guessed who the so-called "helpless" was referring to.

Zhang Jinhuai smiled and nodded, "So this is excellent news. The young man at the east entrance of your town is helpless. In addition, no immortal sect is willing to spend [-]% of the sect's luck on such a It’s a nondescript foreigner, so it’s easiest to snatch things from him now.”

"Simple?" Han Yuanfu glanced at the two immortals opposite and sneered: "Maybe before you arrived, I thought he was just an ordinary person. At most, he has a tough life and can easily kill those close to him. But After what happened at Shuixiu Lake, do you still think he is simple now?"

The wealthy Zhang Jinhuai also nodded when he heard this and said: "Yes, it is indeed not easy to be able to get on the line of the Xihe Sword Sect, and to be able to work as a saint here to help him personally."

But then, he changed the subject, shook his head and mocked: "But, I think the reason why Shuixiu Lake ended up like that was not because of how strong that down-and-out young man was, but because there was something wrong with the way that fool in Shuixiu Lake took action. , arrogant, ignorant, and self-righteous. What’s even more ridiculous is his petty mentality of being smart but unable to stand up to the public. He violates the moral principles of the world and insists on making excuses. He is simply stupid.”

Han Yuanfu, who was sitting opposite the wealthy young man, looked at the contempt on his face and did not echo the meaning of his words. He was vague and just said: "So?"

"I have always believed that it is better to use heavy power than to use heavy profits. Nowadays, when traveling around the world and dealing with people, you must know the words 'bribery of goods' and 'bribery of government', and give him enough For us, the loss is actually not that big. In turn, we can get an unimaginable opportunity, so why not?" Zhang Jinhuai is indeed worthy of his cultivation from a young age and said this. Shi's posture was just right, but his expression was a little weird. He looked at the young man named Han opposite who had been reluctant to show too many emotions, and said with a smile: "Especially in your place, people who are soft-hearted and not hard-hearted, It seems that there are more people who are greedy for life and afraid of death."

Regarding this last sentence, Han Yuanfu just ignored it, and he did not reply hastily. Instead, he began to lower his eyelids, his eyes were deep, and he was calculating in his heart.

Zhang Jinhuai, who was sitting opposite, was not in a hurry. He picked up a good-looking pastry from the coffee table in front of him in a good mood and began to taste it carefully while waiting for the result from the other side.

It took about a full cup of tea, until Liu Yuqing, the proprietress standing at the door of the shop, started to feel a little embarrassed and anxious. Han Yuanfu, who had been silent for a long time, slowly raised his head and looked at the opposite person who had finished eating the pastries and began to lean on her. The boy from the Xian family, who was sitting in a daze on the back of the chair, said softly: "It's okay, but I have a few questions that need to be asked in advance."

"Please." Zhang Jinhuai leaned on the back of the chair without straightening up, with a relaxed attitude. He just raised a hand to indicate to the other party that they could just speak directly.

The young man from the small town was silent for a moment, as if he was considering his words, and then asked: "The first question, who will this charm fall on in the end?"

This question had been expected by the two people opposite. The young man in rich clothes smiled and did not speak directly. It was the elder He next to him who explained it, "You don't have to worry about this at all. If you put it aside, Outside of Yanguan Town, this kind of competition for the Five Elements Qi is often a desperate fight. It is commonplace to kill people for a chance, but within Yanguan Town, this problem is not a problem, because you They come from the same source as those auras, so this place has been set long ago like the rules of the avenue. The four auras can only be taken away from the town by the young people from the town who participate in the business. No matter what others do, it will be in vain. "

After saying that, he looked at Han Yuanfu opposite and wanted to ask questions, so he raised his hand first and added: "As long as you get it and directly refine it into yourself, it is destined to be yours, even if After that, if you leave Yanguan Town, no one else can take it away."

Hearing what Elder He said so straightforwardly, Han Yuanfu nodded with satisfaction and continued to ask: "Second question, how are you going to get that share of Shuiyun, and what are you planning to do to get that... person?" What will happen to him after Shui Yun?"

In the past few years, Han Yuanfu has always known that there is such a down-and-out young man at the entrance of the town. He has also heard rumors in the town that he is born with a tough life, saying that he will kill his relatives. It seems that this is indeed the case in his impression for many years. Occasionally, You will also see him at a street corner opposite the Wufang Pavilion outside the door. Standing far away from the crowd, Mr. Lu is telling stories. He always walks alone, and one glance can remind you of him. Those four words "alone and alone" probably ended up being the only impression he had of him.To be honest, what will happen to that young man actually has little to do with him, but Han Yuanfu thinks that he has read some books by sages and feels that it is not a honorable thing to just care about himself and ignore other people, and he cannot be like that. He was told by a gentleman who taught him etiquette.

After hearing this question, Zhang Jinhuai raised his head and took a deep look at the young man opposite him, and said calmly: "The matter of Qiyun is actually simple. As long as he hasn't refined it, we can naturally take it out. Before this trip, I happened to be with him. The elders in the sect received a few pills. As long as he takes them, and supplemented by the immortal family's methods, the water charm can be stripped out of his body. As for what will happen to him after taking out the water charm...actually it doesn't matter. It is considered very serious, and the most likely possibility is that from now on, the great road of heaven and earth will be like a mirror in the mirror to him, and there is basically no possibility of cultivation. Other things will have no impact. If there are no other disasters, it will not be difficult to live to the end of his life."

This result... Han Yuanfu's face was not good-looking. He probably couldn't bear it. He frowned and said, "Isn't this not good? The so-called gentleman does not win people's love. He is already poor, so this move will stop again." Doesn't it mean that his cultivation path robs him of the broadest possible future for his transformation? With all due respect, this is really not what a gentleman would do!"

After saying these words, the scene fell silent as expected. Even Liu Yuqing, the proprietress who was still standing at the door of the shop, was a little anxious. She wanted to open her mouth to speak, but before she could say anything, she saw the old god, Elder He, who was enshrined in the Immortal Sect. The cold look in her eyes made her choke on her words and her face turned red.

Zhang Jinhuai did not see the change in the eyes between the first two. He just looked at Han Yuanfu opposite him quietly, shook his head with some pity, sighed and said: "I thought you were naturally smart, and I thought you and I were kindred spirits." Man, but your words make me feel that I think highly of you, how about I tell you another story?"

Han Yuanfu just smiled when he heard this, said nothing, and waited for the next sentence.

Zhang Jinhuai also smiled, and when he spoke again, the expression on his face took on a vague sense of ridicule. He just heard him say lightly: "Guess what happened at the foot of the mountain on the back of the dragon in the east of Zhendong?" On the scene, why did Mrs. Zheng act so unreasonably and kill her as soon as she showed up? She didn't care at all about her posture, demeanor and reputation as a famous figure in the world?"

"Isn't it because her son was humiliated?" When Han Yuanfu faced this problem at this time, he naturally had a guess in his heart, otherwise it would have been a waste of his good brain, but he did not say it directly, but said something. Facts on the surface.

Zhang Jinhuai glanced at Han Yuanfu meaningfully, curled up his lips and said with a smile: "Yes, the Xian family has always had a habit, that is, the younger ones are beaten to the older ones, and the older ones are beaten to the older ones. Generations of ancestors, one after another! But! You have to know, where is this place under our feet? This is called Yanguan Town! There are more than one or two saints from the three religions who are stationed here. She is a mere saint from the ninth realm, and she clearly knows that there are rules here. It doesn't matter if it's a small quarrel, it's not advisable to kill someone for extravagance, but you still want to kill someone forcibly knowing that you can't do it. Do you think that she has been the mistress of the Shuixiu Lake Sect for so many years, and it's all in vain?"

This is basically not a question, so the Immortal Master did not wait for the other party's answer and said directly: "Actually, not everyone can see Shui Yun. You must be a sensible person and have at least one cultivation level." She also had to start in the Eighth Realm. She probably just skimmed the formation at first, but after seeing the boy, she must have had murderous intentions instantly, so she would kill him without any care as soon as he showed up! But it's ridiculous Unfortunately, the final result was that she failed to kill and swindle goods, and the little fat man of the Zhu family, who was probably used as a vessel to inherit Qiyun, did not follow them to Shuixiu Lake as she expected, so This business in Shuixiu Lake has brought shame to everyone from the oldest to the youngest."

The more Zhang Jinhuai said, the more he meant to ridicule him. In the end, he even expressed his unabashed ridicule and disdain. However, this was certainly not his original intention. He changed the subject, stared at Han Yuanfu, and said seriously: "Han Yuanfu" Fu, I still have to admit that you are indeed very smart, but you are not powerful enough in certain things. Since you said, 'A gentleman does not take what others like', then I have to say, 'If a man does not serve himself, he will be destroyed by heaven and earth.' Of course, I can't blame you for being naive, because your greatest knowledge in the past came from that thatched cottage, but you have to understand that reading from books and real knowledge are two different things. You will find out when you step into the world. Tens of thousands of books and thousands of miles of road are always far apart and different paths in the world."

Having said this, the confident young man from the Immortal Family probably realized that some of his words were a bit exaggerated, especially in this place, so he cautiously turned his head and glanced at Elder He beside him. When he saw the old man After shaking his head imperceptibly, he let out a sigh of relief, but cautiously did not continue the previous topic. He just remained silent for a moment and added: "One more thing, it stands to reason that the down-and-out orphan is responsible for With such a huge opportunity, someone should have stopped caring about his nondescript status and come to discuss business with him. But have you seen anyone come to the door? No! Why? Because he is a hot potato now, although Everyone coveted it, but no one really dared to take it, because everyone probably didn't expect such a scene. They neither prepared the means to deprive him of his charm, nor were they sure that he could directly refine it. There was no way or the courage to bring him back to the mountain gate safely, so he was in this embarrassing situation now, hanging high in the air, unable to get up or down. He got a chance, but lost his immortal fate. What do you think this should be called? What? This is called bad luck! But what a coincidence, we have all prepared these means and they are foolproof, so what do you think we should call this? "

He smiled, straightened his upper body from the chair, leaned forward slightly, looked at Han Yuanfu and said with a smile: "This is called destiny! And you are still here looking forward and backward, being a wolf and a tiger behind? You want me to see, you It’s time to call Heaven and Futei and take the blame!”

-

Under the old locust tree, a poor young man looked at the sloppy man next to him with an unnatural expression. He probably understood what he meant when he said, "Send away gold with jade, and bring back gold with a dog's head." But this What should we do?

Hou Junchen felt that he had sighed more recently than he had in the past years combined. He couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. Wouldn't it be better to be a country watchman who was just waiting to die?Why do you have to get involved in this guy's shit?But I ate more than half of the family's food rations for three years. This favor was owed to me. Just like what the little girl named Li said, whether it was worth it and whether it was actually worth it are two different things.
There was no other way, so he could only remind the young man: "According to the usual methods in the world, there are roughly two ways to steal your charm. One is to kill you directly. At that time, it was originally Your water charm has become an ownerless thing. As long as you use the immortal method to take it away within a certain period of time before it returns to the world and put it on the right person, you will be considered successful!"

"What about the other one?" Chu Yuanxiao asked curiously.

"There is another possibility that there is no need to take your life. Although the effect may not be as good as the previous one, and it is not popular outside, it is just right in Yanguan Town. The way is to use the Xian family's methods to weaken your Qi. The number of blood and life, and then forcefully peel off Shuiyun!"

Chu Yuanxiao was a little happy when he heard this method at first, as if he didn't have to die?

But before he could relax, the sloppy man said calmly: "This method does not require you to lose your life in an instant, but from now on, your road to greatness will be cut off. Moreover, your lifespan will be cut in half at least, and there is a high probability that you will not live to be 30 years old. As for what else you are thinking about, such as seeking revenge from some people behind the scenes... wait until the next life!"
