Sword of Coming

Over at the Fenhe Shrine, Chen Ping'an and Qing Tong each had their own emphasis on the scenery, so they looked at each one in order.

When Qing Tong finished visiting many palaces and pavilions, he found that Chen Ping'an was no longer in the Hebo Temple.

Walking out of the gate of the temple, Qing Tong, dressed in a green shirt, sat on a small bamboo chair in the willow shade by the big pond and started fishing with a pole.

Qingtong walked over and asked, "Are there any bamboo chairs?"

Chen Ping'an put his finger to his mouth, signaling to keep his voice down, then twisted his wrist, and a small green bamboo chair appeared, which he handed to Qing Tong.

Qingtong sat aside, lowered his voice, and asked doubtfully: "This is it?"

Chen Pingan smiled and said: "Just wait for the weather."

Seeing that Qing Tong was confused, Chen Ping'an raised his chin and reminded: "Just watch the water for now."

Qing Tong then looked intently at the water. The water was like a mirror, and a dilapidated mansion appeared in the mirror. In the picture, there were numerous figures.

It is a not very clever earthly immortal method, which has the magical power to view mountains and rivers.

After parting ways with the children in the village, the young Taoist priest with a bulging bag in his arms stood up from the ground, hovered in the air, stood on tiptoes, and looked towards the city. Hey, there were some signs of filthy evil spirits and gods fighting? Could it be a haunted house? Don’t you know that Pindao’s name is Xu Wugui today? Okay, okay, if you discuss it carefully, you can keep your peace. If you don’t even want to lend Pindao a kitchen, then it’s no wonder that Pindao has done something for heaven. .

Lu Chen turned his head and looked at the child named Ye. In the future, when he comes to Shen Gao Sect, he might be able to be a companion with the little Taoist boy named A You from Qiu Hao Guan. They will practice together and grow together. After a long time together, they will become friends.

Two moons are friends, so rare in this vast world where there is only one bright moon, so we must cherish true friends even more.

Lu Chen took a step forward and came directly to the street outside a haunted house that was rumored to be haunted. He pointed again and found out that the nearby land was called Wuzhenfang. The mansion was once a temple of Lu Gong, with a vermilion door and dense spider webs. The incense of the ancestral temple has been cut off for a long time. Historically, it was demolished and rebuilt into a private residence. Later, it suffered many changes and many ghosts were at work. In the end, most of the beams and wood were moved to the Fenhe Shrine outside the city. The entrance There was only one stone lion left, with a series of tiny pits on its neck, like bead marks.

This place turned out to be the former site of a temple dedicated to the Chunyang Taoist, which was an unexpected and reasonable thing.

Lu Chen sighed, "Fellow Taoist Chunyang, fellow Taoist Chunyang, it turns out that we were from the same hometown back then in Bai Yujing, and we were in the same foreign land. Now that you have been absent from Haoran's hometown for a long time, you finally have a temple. Unexpectedly, I ended up like this. Well, let me just do my best to add some fragrance to your temple."

It’s just that I don’t know where Lu Yan is now. There has been no news from Qingming Tianxia for a long time.

Lu Chen took out a talisman made of yellow seal from his sleeve, and silently recited in his mouth, "The heavens are spirited, the earth is spirited, as long as the gods appear, I will do it." He took a few steps back, made a gesture of sinking Qi into the Dantian with one hand, shouted softly, and walked forward as fast as he could fly. Go, point your toes to the ground, and jump up high. As a result, you can only stand on the top of the wall. After shaking a few times, you can't stand firm. You lean back and land on the street again. Fortunately, the street is deserted at the moment. No one could see this funny scene.

I saw the young Taoist priest holding a yellow talisman. After trying two more times, he finally squatted on the wall. After getting up, he walked along the wall, tiptoeing, climbed over a roof ridge, stretched his neck, and saw A very dangerous fight ensued. Several wild cultivators, who seemed to be from the same school, each showed off their magical powers and were fighting a pale-faced woman in a red dress. It was vaguely visible that she had a rope tied around her neck. She was probably a hanged ghost. , scolding endlessly, black smoke billowing, and were dispersed one by one by the group of immortals who came to slay demons and eliminate demons with their superb magic skills. Generally speaking, the beating was back and forth, one side threw Taoist magic, and the other He also uses sneaky tricks and wonderful tricks. It can be said that if you meet your opponent in chess, you will encounter a good talent.

Lu Chen quietly sat on the ridge of the roof, looking away. There was a book of peonies in the backyard. It had been transplanted from elsewhere. After several dynasties, it had been refined into a refined form. He was quite old and was probably half the owner of this place. He led a group of people. Helping the unjust ghosts, intimidating the people in the world, and occupying this big mansion, it seems that they have done nothing evil. At most, they kidnapped the young drunkards and watchmen who stayed out at night, seduced them, and brought them here. After the clouds and rain, steal some yang energy and throw it out of the house at dawn.

It’s no wonder that the water god at the Fenhe Shrine chose to turn a blind eye to everything that happened in this mansion with a great history. Firstly, he did not do anything too harmful to nature. Secondly, If you want to defeat this "ghost house", you have to mobilize your troops and punish the generals. When the two sides completely break up and start fighting, at least the county seat will probably not be saved. In addition, given the abilities of the nearby City God Temple and the Mountain and Water Gods, , and the few soldiers and horses under their command, it is estimated that if they really compete with each other, they will only come in an aggressive manner and ask for guilt, and go home in disgrace.

There was a fight between man and ghost in the courtyard. One of them had sharp eyes and saw the sneaky young Taoist priest on the roof. He immediately cursed: "How dare you come here to compete with me for business?! Get away!"

I could see the uprightness of the young Taoist priest, and he said with awe-inspiring righteousness: "Since ancient times, Taoists have had a share in killing demons. What's more, the poor Taoist is born with an iron frame and a chivalrous heart..."

The man shouted, "Noisy!"

Then a dart flew out of his sleeve. It was as fast as a shooting star, but the tail of the dart hit the mother-in-law Taoist priest's forehead. With a sound of pain, the young Taoist priest was hit and fell to the ground. It rolled all the way on the roof and disappeared.

The female ghost with a rope wrapped around her neck in the courtyard was tossing and turning with a few ghost tricks, but the other party was overwhelming in numbers, and the cultivator was a man, who was already full of yang energy. When they were gathered together, they became more powerful. Quite majestic, she gradually fell behind and immediately turned around and shouted: "Sister, come help me!"

Soon there was another stream of green smoke floating in, and it condensed into the figure of a female ghost. It was also a woman, with a full head of black hair that was not tied up in a bun, and it was floating randomly like water plants. It was probably a poor person who had drowned.

Lu Chen had already found the kitchen, kicked open the door, and was about to light a fire to cook. He couldn't treat himself badly. I had to have a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner here before going to Qingming Tianxia. Bai Yujing's side is not so particular. There is too much fairy air and too little human touch. Seeing that the chopping board and other items were all in place, Lu Chen took out the fire fold from his sleeve and found the bamboo tube for blowing the fire. He sat on a bench and muttered: "This is still broad daylight. When the sun sets at dusk, the scene in the ghost house will be different." The master hasn’t even appeared yet. If you don’t have Pindao’s help, how can you fight? Even if you kneel on the ground and shout for help, you will still have to see whether Pindao is full and has no strength.”

Just then, after going around and around, on the way back, Lu Chen discovered that there were two large locust trees with thick green shade in the backyard, not visible from the sky, and not far from the kitchen, there was a small building. The grass was a foot deep, and the building was There were several coffins inside, and the coffin boards were all open. They were all withered bones that had no burial place. Lu Chen was not taboo about these anyway. Otherwise, how could there be a White-bones True Man among the Seven Hearts of the Three Masters?

Someone was leaning against the kitchen door. It was a delicate girl with a delicate dimple and blush, and a charming posture.

The girl pursed her bright red lips, clapped her hands gently, and gave a shout to remind the young Taoist priest that someone was coming. Then she narrowed her eyes and smiled and said: "You little Taoist priest, whether you are a master of art or not, you dare to Come here to cook. They say you have to find a good place even if you want to die. What do you think? Are those weird and mysterious people who cheat money and read too many erotic novels and want to have an affair? "

"This girl came here without anyone noticing. She almost scared me to death. I really thought scaring people to death was not worth my life. Fortunately, I have magical powers and am very courageous."

Lu Chen smiled and talked, sat on the small bench, turned around, raised the bamboo tube in his hand, pointed at the yellow paper talisman attached to the kitchen door, looked at the girl who had become a spirit from peony, and was refining her body. Due to a chance and her eight or nine hundred years of cultivation, she is considered invincible in nearby counties. She is not arrogant here, she is just helping those female ghosts to survive, and she is still You have to be careful when doing things, otherwise if those female ghost sisters are just a little crueler, open their mouths like that, or twist their waists a few more times, those young and strong men who are having a good time here may just have to do it. All that's left is an empty skin with yang energy dispersed inside. Even if he is thrown out of the ghost house, his life will be short-lived.

The girl reached out and wanted to take off the talisman made of ordinary material. But as soon as her fingertips touched the talisman, she felt a painful burning sensation. She shivered and immediately stopped her hand. She weighed it. Adhering to the principle of sailing a ten-year-old ship carefully, Yanran smiled and said: "As long as you don't meddle in your own business today, you can come and stay as you like. I didn't provoke those few in the courtyard. They broke into the dojo to cause trouble for me. It was obvious that they were not. Those kind of people who are willing to give up, since they are anxious to reincarnate one by one, they can't blame me for giving them a ride."

When the young Taoist priest saw this, he looked proud and laughed loudly: "What, you know how powerful it is? This talisman is one of the special skills of the Taoist! I asked you if you are afraid."

The girl twitched her lips and said, "May I ask this Immortal Chief, what is his name? How old is he?"

The young Taoist priest had a look of disgust on his face, "Do you understand the rules? Monks don't talk about their fame, Taoism or longevity, but for the sake of the title 'immortal chief', the Taoist priest can reveal a secret or two to you."

The girl nodded and said, "I'm all ears."

The young Taoist priest coughed a few times, moistened his throat, then straightened his back and said loudly: "There is a nameless man in the world, a man who has been separated from the world. He is a true hero with a strong character, a savage nature and a solitary nature. He has only lived on the top of a mountain all his life. After eating in the morning and drinking dew at night, I feel refreshed and upright. For hundreds of years, no one knows about the wall. The golden crow fire wraps around the golden elixir. I combine the golden elixir and start the cauldron. I refine the yang god and travel to the jade capital. I learn from immortals and learn from the baby. The moon is here In the quiet place of the cold pool, it is bright, and the heart of heaven at the bottom of the sea breathes, soaring up to the heaven. I have forgotten the enlightenment for thousands of years. Blue birds in the sky and clouds in the sky can be bound, and dragons and dragons in the bottom of the water can catch the moon. In the end, the bamboo basket is used to draw water, and it flourishes and withers. A dream, an ant in a locust tree..."

The girl listened attentively at first, but soon she raised her hands and yawned, while she was reading a book.

But your formal and sour words don't seem to rhyme very well.

The young Taoist priest seemed to have read her thoughts and said confidently: "Girl, you just understand what I mean. This is called getting carried away. As for whether it rhymes or not, it is very secondary and quite trivial."

The girl suddenly said sternly: "I changed my mind. Originally I was just looking at you to annoy you, but it turns out that I am even more annoyed to hear you. Don't stay here. Leave this place quickly!"

"Don't change your mind. I am a poor Taoist whose surname is Xu and whose name is Wugui. As for the Taoist title, my qualifications in the mountains are still shallow. I have not been able to accumulate three thousand merits and virtues outside the mountains for a long time. I don't have a Taoist title yet."

The young Taoist priest was also anxious, "Besides, there is a rule in Pindao's lineage, which is to talk about ancestors but not teachers. So if you ask about Xiaodao's teacher's lineage and Taoist lineage, I'm sorry Pindao has nothing to say."

When the girl heard this, she restrained her anger and just sneered, "That's just like following a master. If you use the name of master, you can't scare people."

The young Taoist priest seemed to be angry and said: "You can't scare people to death? You can scare ghosts to death!"

The girl glanced at the other party's Taoist crown and waved her hand, "Let's go, let's not join in the fun here. If you weren't looking at the face of a Taoist relationship in the past, at least you would have walked in vertically and gone out horizontally today. , I must let you have a longer memory. Since the Taoism is weak and the magic is not good, don't think that you have a master's backing, and you can go around everywhere because you have no taboos. If there are people outside, you will suffer a lot."

The girl's eyes were wandering. She pointed at the Taoist crown on the young Taoist priest's head with one hand. She covered her mouth with one hand and said with a sweet smile: "Young Taoist priest, you are still pretending to be an expert with me. Why? I thought I wouldn't be able to beat you later, so I Move out of the master's house quickly so that you can keep me under control? Do you know that your ancestor and I are still close friends?"

"Good old friend?!"

I saw the handsome Taoist priest with red lips and white teeth. Hearing this, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His eyes were dull and he said, "How come this poor Taoist doesn't know?!"

"How do you know that it happened hundreds of years ago? Leave this place and return to the Taoist temple in the mountains. If you are interested, go look through the genealogy and look carefully to see if there is a Taoist named Qian Tongxuan. The guy named Dragon Tail Mountain Man is him. He has no conscience. He is just a thief with a thief heart but no courage. He thinks I have a bad background and dare not take him back to the mountain. It doesn't matter if I am a tree or a tree. Dragon of the Divine Continent of Middle Earth The Tianshi Mansion in Hushan also has a Fox Immortal Hall, and her background is not as good as mine."

The girl's eyes were dark, and after going over the old score, she became a little dejected and waved her hand, "Okay, okay, I already knew you were from the high-ranking Shengaozong, otherwise I wouldn't be wearing such a Taoist crown. Your identity as a Taoist priest is of course true, but I am not one of those ignorant mountain spirits. I know that the Taoist priests of your lineage are not the authentic ones there, and that Qi Tianjun is not a Taoist priest at all. The incense has withered into a mess. My life in the Shengaozong has been getting worse and worse year by year, and I have long been forced to rely on selling private ultimatums to make a living."

The young Taoist priest also sighed, "The girl really got it right. The situation is getting worse every year."

The girl said: "Still not leaving? Do you really think that a broken talisman on the door can stop me?"

Lu Chen smiled and said: "As the old saying goes, helping others is helping yourself. When you go out, rely on friends. The trail is just a place to have a New Year's Eve dinner. Maybe it can help you avoid a disaster."

At this point, Lu Chen said with a smile: "This 'old saying' and that 'common saying', no matter what is behind it, we'd better listen to it."

The girl sneered and said: "Little Taoist priest, do you know what state I am in, my aunt?"

Lu Chen looked shocked and said, "Could it be that he is an old Nascent Soul Immortal whose divine power is reserved and hidden?"

The girl was furious for a moment because she was a golden elixir earthly immortal.

However, the He Bo of the Fen River Shrine outside the city, as well as the county God's Temple, only mistook her for a plant spirit monster in the sea-viewing realm, so her reputation remained unknown.

The main reason is that there are two immortal mansions on the top of Mengliang Kingdom, which makes her extremely afraid. If there is not a hidden life-saving talisman, she would have been detained by the immortal master and imprisoned in the mountains.

There are naturally female ghosts in this "haunted house", but the evil spirit that is really suppressed is actually an old golden elixir ghost. In addition to its extremely high moral character, its intentions are also extremely sinister. In the early years, it was it that secretly planned, through It was only with the help of officials from the Yang world that Lu Gong's temple was demolished and this geomantic treasure was occupied as a dojo, hoping to use it to become a Nascent Soul. A peony was even deliberately transplanted here, with the fragrance of the flowers, covering up the extremely fishy evil aura on it. The reason why the heartless man named Qian Tongxuan stopped here was that he discovered something was wrong with the mansion. To subdue this ghost that is causing trouble, first form a large formation to prevent harm to innocent people, and then fight with the golden elixir ghost. He will not hesitate to break two natal objects and damage the foundation of the avenue, and then suppress the ghost deep underground. He was sealed in a secret room with a talisman, saying that when he returned to Shen Gaozong, he would ask the elders in the mountain to come here to eradicate this scourge. However, he never thought that once he left, there would be no chance of seeing him again.

For so many years, almost every few years, she would use the talisman method she learned from the Taoist priests to add a talisman at the door of the secret room deep underground, layer by layer, the old talisman dissipated, and a new talisman appeared. Symbol posted. Just because the threshold for a talisman is too high, she only has some cultivation talent, and she cannot truly pass it on, so she can only rely on quantity to win.

Once upon a time, there were flowers before the moon.

The stars in the sky are turning, and the curtains of pearls are hanging down in the world. Living in the mountains does not keep track of years, admiring flowers is like immortality.

The speaker only speaks on his lips, but the listener should keep it in his heart.

Lu Chen held the bamboo tube that was burning in his arms, his eyes softened a bit, and he said with a smile: "The battle outside is not small. The wild cultivator came here this time and is determined to win. Girl, have you noticed it too? The other party has already used its trump card. Can he ask the gods to come down?" Really, although they are two lingering obscene gods, they are obviously more than enough to deal with the three female ghost sisters under your hands. Besides, you, this golden elixir, can protect your true body. Do you want to live with that blocked door? Anyway, I find it very difficult, very difficult."

The girl's expression changed slightly, and she was about to go to the rescue.

Unexpectedly, the young Taoist priest just blew a breath, and the yellow paper talisman on the kitchen door fell down and landed on the girl's shoulder.

The girl seemed to have been affixed with a binding talisman. A majestic golden elixir earthly immortal, no matter how he used the golden elixir to control the spiritual energy, he could not move even half a step.

Lu Chen pressed his face against the bamboo tube, looked at the anxious girl, and said with a smile: "What's the rush? Just watch the show. Pindao doesn't have many other people, he just has many friends on the mountain. By coincidence, there is one today."

The two causal threads involved in the body before were one person and one event, one thick and one thin. The latter was the child, and the former was an old friend.

This person was not in a hurry at first, but now he had noticed the clues and began to travel here at lightning speed and against the wind.

The girl remained motionless and could only watch helplessly as the young Taoist priest began to prepare a New Year's Eve dinner. His hands and feet were as deft as a cook in a Taoist temple.

You can't treat yourself badly as a human being.

Two jugs of wine.

Three hard vegetables were prepared, a pot of stewed old hens, a pot of winter bamboo shoots stewed with bacon, and a large plate of steamed crabs.

The young Taoist priest also took out a set of nine pastel flower trays from his sleeve, but they were only filled with lychees, not fresh lychees, but dried lychees.

Bamboo shoots are a beauty among vegetables, lychees are a beauty among fruits, crabs are a beauty among aquariums, and wine is a beauty among foods.

Four beauties, a complete table.

Outside the Fenhe Shrine and by the pond, Chen Pingan has never caught any fish.

Qing Tong looked at the scroll in the water and said in surprise: "It's actually him?"

Logically speaking, this person should never be here.

No wonder Lu Zhang Guild came here. It turned out that he was here to reminisce about old times.

Chen Ping'an smiled and said, "Do you recognize it again?"

Qing Tong said angrily: "This person is Sui You's disciple and her martial arts master. How could I not know him?"

Besides, this person is still the "Lu Sheng" who once walked on the left side of Handan Road and was enlightened by Chunyang Taoist.

Chen Pingan asked: "Then do you know what he planned after leaving Ouhua Paradise and choosing to stay anonymous in Yunku Paradise for so many years?"

Qing Tong shook his head and said, "I dare not say more about things related to the old temple master."

Chen Ping'an changed his question, "Regarding the incense inheritance of the Taoist Lou Guan sect, as well as the ancestor clan, county hall number and migration distribution of the surname 'Shao', do you have any relevant records or books at hand?"

Qingtong said: "Not really."

The Taoist lineage of Jinding Temple originated from the Taoist tower temple school. Taoist priests once built a pavilion in ancient places, knotted grass into a tower, and watched the stars and the aura.

The first watcher of the Lou Guan sect happened to be named Shao.

The status of this watcher is similar to that of the first Buddhist temple today, with a status second only to the abbot.

Cui Dongshan initially guessed that Ni Yuanzhan was hiding in Yunku Blessed Land in order to give the golden elixir to Sui Youyou, one of his direct disciples in the past.

It makes sense that among the four people in the painting in the past, Sui Youyou gave up on her career in martial arts. Not long after arriving in Haoran Tianxia, ​​she went her own way and ran away to practice swordsmanship.

But the facts proved that this was not the case. Sui Youyou was not the person who was destined to get the elixir by the old temple master.

Later, Jiang Shangzhen mistakenly thought that Ni Yuanzhen was planning to give this golden elixir to the Northern Golden Summit Temple, which had a close relationship with the old temple owner, so he decided to stop him, and even said a harsh word to Lao Zhouzi directly. As long as Shao Yuanran came to Huangheji to get the elixir, he, Jiang Shangzhen, would let the young man from the Daquan Dynasty die under Ni Yuanhao's nose. But if Lao Zhouzi dared to send the elixir, he would let Shao Yuanran have the elixir become a first-class product. , to complete a body that has no leakage of merits and virtues, but has no life to take advantage of the opportunity to ascend to the Nascent Soul realm.

Chen Pingan asked with a smile: "Can you always tell me something about the old owner of that golden elixir, Fellow Taoist Qing Tong?"

Qingtong hesitated for a moment, carefully crafted his words, selected some eloquent old almanacs, and said slowly: "This fellow Taoist is the first crane in the world. It is said that he is only half a step away from the fourteenth crane." Before the death of the Great Monk Jing, or to be precise, before his retreat, he took a trip to Bixiao Cave and Luobaotan. After the retreat failed, he left behind a complete golden elixir, which the old contemplative master seemed to be keeping for him. .”

It was for the sake of "Mr. Zheng" that Qingtong was willing to tell more insider information that money could not buy.

Chen Pingan corrected: "It might be more accurate to say 'care'."

Because this golden elixir left over from ancient times is not in the hands of the old temple owner, but is located between the cliffs of Huangheji in the blessed land of Yunku. It is far away from a Taoist temple across half a continent of mountains and rivers.

And this golden elixir can be regarded as a mountain treasure of Immortal Weapon rank, and it can be regarded as an extremely rare category among Immortal Weapons.

Just like Chen Pingan's magic robe and golden wine that he obtained from Jiaolonggou, it was outstanding among the semi-immortal soldiers. Chen Pingan's Chixin sword, which was later lent to the right side of Sui Dynasty, was extremely "outstanding among the magic weapons". ".

The root lies in the word "growth".

Ability to continuously refine and then improve one's character. Just like a person practicing Taoism, he breaks through the realm one by one.

Thinking of this, Chen Pingan suddenly said: "It seems that the word 'immortality', reversed order, means 'growth'."

It's just that Qing Tong is troubled by these empty words the most. If you think about it, you will definitely not be able to figure out the reason. If you don't think about it, it seems that you will miss something.

The rank of a monk's golden elixir determines, to a large extent, the achievement of an earthly immortal.

This is similar to what ordinary people say about aging at the age of three.

Of course it is not absolute, there are always exceptions, but the reason why common sense is common sense is that it is difficult to have exceptions.

Just like Chen Ping'an himself, he had never been favored before because his natal porcelain was broken and he was "seen to death early".

Then we were able to get to where we are today.

Chen Pingan asked: "Why did Jiang Shangzhen 'borrow a sword' from Ni Yuanzhen?"

In the blessed land of Yunku, Jiang Shangzhen once said, "I want to borrow Mr.'s sword today and let out light in the darkness." However, Ni Yuanhao denied this and did not look like he was faking it.

According to Jiang Shangzhen, the reason why he went to Ouhua Paradise to waste his time for Jiazi was because he planned to help Lu Fang become one of the top ten people in the world. It would be better if he ranked high, and then his best friend Lu Fang could Take advantage of the situation and get a handy weapon.

Qing Tong was silent.

It's really hard to tell.

Once the secret is revealed, Qingtong is worried that the old temple master will settle old scores. The Bixiao Cave Master was once recognized by the world for his petty and unforgiving nature.

Chen Ping'an thought of Jiang Shangzhen's comment about Ni Yuanzhen, "You are the sword", and couldn't help but smile. His chief Zhou is just good at talking...

Qing Tong was silent for a long time, probably because he was also worried about being resented by the person next to him, so he tentatively said: "When I see Lu Sheng later, can you ask yourself?"

Chen Ping'an said: "What's hard to guess is that Ni Yuanzhen can actually be regarded as half a qigong practitioner in the Ouhua Blessed Land. He has opened up a new path, which is to 'refining swords with his body'."

Jiang Shangzhen said that Ni Yuanzhen was proficient in the Three Teachings and had read countless books. However, he was suppressed by the great path of Ouhua Blessed Land, which only took the prototype of a clear Taoist heart, and he was eventually "invited out" of the blessed place by the old temple master.

What's more, Lu Chen also revealed the secret and talked about the path to enlightenment for the female crowned Wuzhou.

Qing Tong admired him endlessly. He was indeed Zheng Juzhong of Baidi City. He really dared to think and could really think. No wonder we are obsessed with the absurd question "Am I the Taoist?"

Qing Tong asked: "I heard that fishermen who like this way are particular about making nests in advance?"

Chen Ping'an hummed, "Usually it's to catch big fish, but it's actually not a problem to make a nest in turbulent water. Just find a pile of rocks and you can gather fish."

Qing Tong asked tentatively: "Does this statement have any profound meaning?"

Chen Ping'an said: "It doesn't mean anything to you. If it were Lu Chen and Ni Yuanzhan who heard this, they would probably feel sad."

Qingtong didn't refute anything.

I saw Chen Pingan lifting the rod to scatter bait again, and then throwing the rod into the water again.

Over there in the courtyard of the old site of Lu Gong Temple, clouds and mist suddenly rose, and the three female ghosts were instantly plunged into the white mist. They looked around and couldn't see their fingers. When they looked up again, it was clearly not dusk yet, but the moon was already in the sky. There was a faint sound in their ears. They could hear the watchman banging his wooden clapper and the sound of soldiers passing through the night. The next moment, their vision suddenly opened up, and a long bridge over deep water appeared. On that section of the bridge, there was a tall vermilion mansion with a majestic hall and two corridors. Row, the stone beast outside the door is angry and terrifying, and there is a group of armored soldiers lined up in the corridor, frost halberds are cold, there are two more people wearing purple official robes, one is slender but skinny, and the other is Fat and white, with a slight beard and a jade belt tied around his waist, the two parties walked out of the hall hand in hand and walked down the steps in a swagger.

In the distance behind the three-headed female ghost, there stood a group of mountain cultivators. One of them, an old man in golden clothes, and the two gods of the obscene temple, clasped their fists in the distance and said with a smile: "Thank you, the two great immortals have taken action."

The Dali court once abolished numerous prostitution temples in one continent. Some of them obeyed the regulations and had a clean background. Dali often had other arrangements. However, after all, there were still some who refused to obey the rules, especially those with improper origins and could not withstand the Dali Ministry of Rites and Punishments. Those who conduct inspections and inspections can only abandon temples and statues, and find ways to survive. Although they have lost their foundation, not only will their golden bodies be shaken, but they will also be a lot shorter, but it is still better than being beaten by Da Li. Officials from the Ministry of Rites and Punishment and the monks accompanying the army settled old scores and smashed the golden body on the spot. And even if you become a lonely ghost, as long as you can rebuild ancestral temples in the secluded mountains and wilderness of those small vassal countries, and get incense, you can put your golden body back together. Today, the Great Li court has only half of what it was in its heyday. With the Dadu as the boundary, the entire southern part of Aquarius Continent has been restored to its original state. People do not dare to stay in places like Mengliang Country and Qingluan Country for a long time, but there are always other places that can be used as a place to stay.

And Yamazawa Yexiu, who made his fortune by killing people and selling goods, has a ghost gate, which is to recruit disciples, of course the kind of disciples who break into houses. Will the disciples of the church starve to death? It may even be to beat the master to death, so he has no choice but to teach the master with all his money, keep the trump card secret, never teach the secret method, and prevent the disciple from getting the true knowledge. Then, he makes the disciple make a heart-to-heart promise and swear a poisonous oath, and then uses secret techniques to control him. . Otherwise, if you don’t have a few helpers around you, you will easily be alone and unable to make big money.

This is why it is easy for a Genealogy cultivator to become a Shanze Yexiu, but it is difficult for a Shanze Yexiu to become a Genealogy Immortal Master.

The old man in brocade clothes was not very advanced, he was just a sea-viewing monk, but he was quick-witted and quickly hooked up with these two "immortals" who were actually one snake and one jackal.

The two sides hit it off immediately.

The two Immortals of the Yin Temple needed the help of this Qi Practitioner to help them travel across mountains and rivers to find a dojo again, so that they could avoid the Wenwu Temple and the City God Temple, as well as the Landscape Gods enshrined by the various courts. In return, the two immortals will help the mountain and wild cultivators solve some minor problems. Just like today's situation, they are still willing to take action. If they catch ghosts and then eat them, the two immortals can help them develop their Taoism and temper their golden bodies. of.

The tall and thin immortal walked onto the long bridge, stood still, and said in a deep voice: "Anyone who dares not to surrender will be taken to Fengdu City."

On the side, the fat white immortal's voice was like thunder, and he angrily yelled: "You little devil, you have done many evil things, why don't you quickly submit to the law and kneel down and kowtow?!"

A hanged ghost who hanged himself and a drowned ghost who threw himself into the water have all lost their beauty. The female ghost who appeared at the end was relatively the most morally virtuous and had a tougher temperament. She knew that the other person was from the temple of obscenity, but she was still He sneered and said: "Your background is even more shady. Whether it is known by the city god in the county or by the Fenhe Shrine, you will never get out of here."

It's just that she can't help but feel miserable in her heart. If Mengliang Kingdom still belongs to the Great Li Dynasty, how can these fugitive gods from the temple dare to show up?

The old man in golden clothes put his hands behind his back, and the old god was there. He smiled and said: "So we said that we should set up a magic circle at the door to cover our ears and eyes. You are just trying to make excuses and look down on me as a sea-viewing state. You didn't stop me before, but now it's okay. . As for the real owner of this house, we have explored the truth and found out that she is in the Dragon Gate realm and has a peony flower charm background, right? But she dares to come to save you? "

At this moment, an old man in a Confucian shirt walked into the ancient house at the site of Lu Gong's ancestral temple. He frowned slightly and dismissed the clouds.

As for the three female ghosts, a group of wild cultivators from the mountains and swamps, and the two obscene temple gods, the old man just pretended not to see them and just wandered around on his own.

The earliest main hall of Lu Xian Temple, the statue of Lu Gong and the painted subordinate gods enshrined in it have long since disappeared.

Only through the Xieshan-style glazed roof of the main hall, we can vaguely see that its shape was not low at that time. The main hall originally hung a plaque inscribed by the emperor "Fenglei Palace", but it did not hang for many years. In another dynasty, it naturally became It was taken off, and it was finally promoted from the ancestral temple to the palace. Not to mention it was knocked back to its original shape. In the end, even the original ancestral temple could not be maintained. Only a Bagua Pavilion and a Mengzi tablet outside the pavilion were barely preserved. They looked like they were dependent on each other.

The tablet with the word "dream" actually hides a mystery. There is a poem similar to a Taoist formula engraved on the hollow inside. But even if a thoughtful person can find it, it is still difficult to understand at first sight, and even more confused after a second look.

How do we interpret the opening line of "If you die and are born with only one body, how do you know who is fake and who is real"?

Finally, the old man returned to the main hall of the old Lu Gong Temple and twisted three sticks of incense from his sleeves.

Holding the incense in hand, he bowed three times to pay homage to Chunyang Taoist who had given him guidance and the gift of preaching in the past.

The two parties, who were originally at war with each other, were stunned, but no one dared to ask, let alone take action.

Who dares to get into trouble with an old guy who ignores the magic circle and the white mist outside the door?

Over in the kitchen, Lu Chen shook his head gently.

The river goes east, the sun sets in the west, and the wanderers come south.

There are flowers in Taoist temples. I would like to ask, who do you know who blooms them?

The girl at the door still stood there, neither begging for mercy nor asking for mercy.

Just now, a table and two benches seemed to... either seemed to have long legs, and they staggered over to the kitchen from somewhere else.

After Lu Chen sat down, he poured himself a bowl of wine, filled a large bowl of rice, picked up a chopstick of winter bamboo shoots, and praised: "It tastes great, it's really amazing."

The old man in Confucian shirt didn't bother to take a second look at the two groups of people, as if giving an order: "Everyone stay where you are and wait for your orders."

Chunyang Taoist Lu Yan is his preacher. Although there is no master-disciple relationship between the two parties, the old scholar has always regarded Lu Yan as his mentor. Therefore, the Chunyang Taoist’s only Lu Gong Temple in the world has a certain meaning. Up above is the dojo of my mentor Lu Yan.

Then he came to the door of the secret room underground and looked at the densely packed talisman seals above.

The old scholar laughed dumbly, was it a ghost drawing amulet?

His figure dissipated, condensed again, and appeared in the secret room without breaking the talisman's restrictions.

The ghost, which had been wasted away by the talisman, slowly raised its head and said with a ferocious smile: "Looking for death?"

The old scholar asked: "Do you know how the four words 'virtue is not matched' are written? It's just a sneaky person like you, if you don't hide well, how dare you expect to occupy Lu Gong's temple for a long time?"

Before the other party could answer anything, the old scholar had already beaten him to death with one sleeve.

On the other side of the square, the illusion is still the same. It is still the scene of the temple with the long bridge and the corridors filled with armored soldiers. The fat immortal in purple official robes said like a mourning concubine: "Is it a certain gentleman from Guanhu Academy? It's miserable, it's miserable. Also, in this case, we two brothers will hit the tip of the knife."

The tall and thin immortal looked at the old man in brocade clothes and said angrily in his heart: "It's all your fault!"

The other three female ghosts who were here to cause trouble were more relieved than frightened.

If you fall into the hands of a Confucian gentleman, you will only be punished according to the rules of the academy, and you can do whatever you want. It is better than being eaten by those two evil immortals. That is the real immortality.

The old scholar came to the kitchen and didn't even look at the girl who was standing at the door as if she were a doorkeeper. He just stopped at the door.

Lu Chen quickly put down his chopsticks, turned around and cupped his hands and said, "Brother Xizhou, we haven't seen each other for many years. Come, let us sit down and drink and chat slowly."

In the two lives of Haoran World and Lotus Flower Blessed Land, the bookish scholar in front of me had both the surname Lu and the same prefix Xizhou.

The colorful boat carries the sorrow of separation, and the dream comes to Xizhou.

Outside the ancestral temple, Qing Tong only felt that Chen Pingan was sitting here fishing. Even if he put aside the matter of "waiting for the rabbit" and waiting for Lu Chen, it seemed that he could just sit here until the end of time.

Qing Tong couldn't help but ask: "Whether you are a Taoist or a pure martial artist, what is the point of imitating the common people to fish in the water?"

The key is that Chen Ping'an hasn't caught a single fish until now.

"To the temple priest of the Fenhe Shrine, this pond is just a pond."

Chen Pingan held the pole in one hand and pointed at the pond with the other, and said: "But to the old temple owner and you, what is this pond? It is Tongyezhou. So you don't care whether the fish in it are big or small. , life or death. The fish swimming in the pond can't escape anyway. Even if there are great monks like the fish leaping through the dragon gate, they are like the fallen leaves of the locust tree at the entrance of the temple. I believe that one day the leaves will fall and return to their roots. "

Qing Tong started to have a headache again, so he immediately changed the topic, his eyes were dark, "How can these wandering gods of obscene temples return to their roots?"

Chen Pingan said: "Then what if you regard the whole world as a pond?"

Qing Tong was speechless.

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "For some problems, you don't need to think too much, just try it briefly and stop it, just like the ancient people wrote poems about the taboo of 'October Cold'."

Qingtong understood the "October cold" that the poet avoided, and was quite happy for a moment. Finally, he was no longer confused. It was not easy.

Chen Ping'an asked: "Ten thousand years ago, if there hadn't been that earth-shaking change, what would your ultimate pursuit be?"

Qing Tong leaned on the back of his chair, picked up the power fence above his head, and shook it gently as a fan, saying: "I still dare not expect to be able to reach the top of the ascension platform, for fear of death, so many talented earth immortals have transformed on that road. Become ashes and disappear as soon as you say goodbye. I am a person with a bad background, and it took a long time for me to learn how to practice. How difficult it is to practice. There are obstacles everywhere. Other monks may only think about it with one or two thoughts, but I have to think deeply about it. In a few hundred years, of course, I will cherish the hard-won opportunity more than Xiao Mo and Yang Zhi, and I will not dare to do a single feat, nor will I dare to do anything impulsive."

"During those long years when heaven and earth were different, it seems that a saying began to be passed down from the first 'Taoist priest', that the sergeants heard the Tao and practiced it diligently. This means the 'Ten Greatest People in the World' and their The 'Taoist priests' not far behind him, such as the great ancestor of Tuoyue Mountain, the master of Bixiao Cave, Bai Jing, the demon sword cultivator, Xiao Mo, the old owner of the golden elixir, etc. The sergeant gained Taoism and was promoted to heaven Official, ranked in the immortal class. It means that by walking up to the two ascension platforms that control male earth immortals and female earth immortals respectively, one becomes a new god in the ancient heaven. The corporal attains the Tao, and the land immortals stay here for many years. This is me This kind of qigong practitioner with dull qualifications has the ultimate pursuit in his heart."

In ancient times, Qi practitioners achieved Taoism through cultivation. Among the many "ascension" Taoist phenomena that promoted the physical form and virtual reality, there was a distinction between the rank of the monks' golden elixirs.

Among the earliest daytime ascensions, there are more than ten types including Xiaju, riding a dragon, crossing a luan, riding a crane and turning a rainbow. After that, there were those who uprooted their homes and ascended, and those who shared their homes ascended, etc. After that, there were many relics of ghosts and immortals who ascended in the night.

After Qing Tong finished speaking, he found that Chen Ping'an seemed to turn a deaf ear and his mood remained unchanged. Qing Tong felt a little bored and stopped looking at the scroll. He glanced at the empty fish basket on the shore and asked, "Is this so difficult?" Did you catch a fish? Is it because the bait is wrong or because your fishing skills are poor?"

Chen Ping'an smiled and nodded: "It's true that I'm not very good at fishing. I'm good at one thing in my life. Unless I'm about to starve to death, I won't eat the bait or bite the hook."

Being in a long river of time, it is difficult not to be regarded as a fish by people on the shore.

Qing Tong asked again: "How are you sure that Master Lu will definitely go to the ruins of Lu Gong Temple with you?"

Chen Ping'an looked indifferent and asked: "Lu Gong Temple ruins? How did you know about it?"

Qing Tong was stunned for a moment, thinking over and over again, and still couldn't figure out why Chen Ping'an said this.

The Fenhe Shrine behind them still has the plaque of the Imperial Wind and Thunder Palace hidden in the warehouse. The Bagua Pavilion and Mengzi Monument next to the ghost house in the city, as well as the book about the girl who became a spirit after a thousand years of peony, and her The "old friend", Qian Tongxuan, a Taoist priest from a branch of the Shengao Sect, with the Taoist name "Dragon Tail", and the golden elixir ghost that was suppressed in the secret room by the Shengao Sect's unique talisman... all prove that This mansion is where the ruins of Lu Gong's Temple are located?

Chen Pingan said with a smile: "It's just waiting for the rabbit to catch the rabbit, and it's more like catching a turtle in a jar."
