Sword of Coming

A good "go my own way" thing.

As expected, if you practice swordsmanship, there is no limit to heaven and earth.

Just when Chen Ping'an was about to leave the pavilion, Lu Chen smiled and said, "I heard that your Qingping Sword Sect has a mountain of preparations."

Chen Pingan nodded and said: "Xiandu Mountain is the main one, and the two mountains, Chumiao and Yunzheng, are the auxiliary ones. This is the pattern of the three mountains. Since Cui Dongshan is the leader of the lower sect, he naturally has his own plans."

According to Cui Dongshan, since the situation is going to change, it is time to take precautions and make plans in advance.

Lu Chen also nodded, "I had not been able to land on Tongyezhou before. Pindao just took a look at it from a distance on the sea. There was a monument on the top of the mountain, 'My Cao cannot come out' and 'Heaven and Earth Purple Qi'. The inscriptions on the monument showed that it was Sect Leader Cui." His handwriting is no longer similar in form to Xiuhu's handwriting, but it retains some spiritual resemblance, breaking away from the stereotype. According to the saying on the mountain, it is a kind of immortal transformation."

Lu Chen turned around and said with a smile: "I am here, poor Taoist. I have to congratulate your favorite student Cao Qinglang in advance. He has successfully retreated. His elixir formation is between the first and second grades. This is good. You don't have to be too sharp, but you still retain it." Countless possibilities.”

Chen Ping'an breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "It's very good."

The legendary first-grade elixir formation is a recognized qualification for ascension, which is very rare. The second-grade elixir is the qualification for reaching the fifth realm. However, many of the great mountain monks who are now famous in the world had only the second-grade golden elixir grade at the time. Taste.

Lu Chen asked: "Did Qi Jingchun, Cui Chan, and Cui Dongshan say anything to you about me, such as reminding you a few words about how to get along with me?"

Chen Ping'an said: "Mr. Qi just said, 'A gentleman can bully others.' It's not deliberately aimed at you, just for that matter."

The implication is that you, Lu Chen, or rather Headmaster Bai Yujingsan at that time, would not let Mr. Qi deliberately explain anything to the boy from Mu Ping Alley at that time.

What's more, the biggest original intention of this sentence, or Mr. Qi's hope, is to let Chen Pingan know the truth in the future, so that he doesn't have to be too guilty or guilty.

Lu Chen muttered in a low voice: "Qi Jingchun doesn't care about things. What do you, Chen Ping'an, care about? If you weren't so hostile to Bai Yujing, what you did at the Great Wall of Sword Qi, and what you did in Qingming World, you wouldn't be a guest wherever you go." ? Take a step back and say, as long as you don't deal with the poor fellow Yu, even if you just fight with Jiang Zhaomo and Pang Ding, you will still be a distinguished guest on the eleventh floor of the other four cities when you visit Baiyujing in the future. I don’t know how many fairy sisters in Bai Yujing are so curious and admirable about the youngest person who carved the city in ten thousand years of history, ‘Hidden Official Chen Shiyi’.”

Chen Ping ignored it and just said to himself: "Cui Dongshan said that if you really want to have trouble with Bai Yujing in the future, you must learn how the old cook chooses vegetables and pick out Lu Chen."

Obviously, Cui Dongshan's meaning is very simple. If Mr. wants to question Bai Yujing, it is best to bypass Lu Chen and separate Bai Yujing's third master from the entire Bai Yujing.

Only by taking the initiative in this way can we have a chance of winning.

"Master Yin Guan, you cannot omit the most critical person."

Lu Chen smiled and said: "Qi Jingchun is a gentleman. No matter how high his Taoism or knowledge is, he cannot act like a villain on his own. Your senior brother Cui Chan is not like that."

Chen Pingan asked with a smile: "Besides the founder of the Three Religions, Lu Chen also has someone he is wary of? So much so that he needs to be wary of what this person said?"

Lu Chen looked serious and nodded: "If Cui Chan hadn't distracted the world and asked him to specifically target a certain person, then the person being targeted, even Zheng Juzhong, would still have to suffer, or at least they would suffer from each other. Because Cui Chan behaves in a similar way to Pindao."

Lu Chen narrowed his eyes and smiled, cupping his fists with both hands and shaking them gently, "I beg you, Mr. Yin Guan, to help Pindao clear up his doubts, otherwise Pindao will probably have trouble sleeping and eating when he returns to Bai Yujing."

Chen Pingan said: "You have already guessed it, why should I waste more words?"

"Cui Chen is cruel enough!"

Lu Chen touched the lotus crown on his head and said, "Chen Ping'an, you are far behind Cui Chan."

Cui Chan's plan was the trip to the wild hinterland led by the young hermit official. After the success, such as after Chen Ping'an's sword opened Tuoyue Mountain, before moving a bright moon and bright colors into the Qingming world.

Without warning, Chen Ping'an suddenly joined forces with Ning Yao, Qi Tingji, Xingguan Hao Su, and Lu Zhi!

Let’s kill Lu Chen together!

Coupled with Lu Zhi's natal flying sword, in terms of offensive strength, he can be regarded as an Ascension Realm sword cultivator.

Then it’s Chen Ping’an plus four Ascension Realm and Sword Cultivators!

Outside Qingming Tianxia and Bai Yujing, they surrounded and suppressed Lu Chen, who was in the Fourteenth Realm.

Lu Chen sighed: "It was the last time Cui Yi showed up at the Great Wall of Sword Qi to tell you about this plan, right? And with your level at that time, it was difficult to hide the truth. Cui Yi must have used some kind of unique secret method to communicate with you first. After I tell you about this, I will let you forget it, and finally I will make you remember it at a certain moment, so that you can fall out with me in an instant, burn bridges across rivers, and kill people violently."

Even if we leave aside Chen Ping'an who has returned to the realm, let's just talk about a joint siege involving four Ascension Realm sword cultivators, especially the old swordsman who carved the words on the city wall, and the co-owner of the new world... Coupled with Lu Zhi's natal flying sword "Beidou", the criminal officer Hao Su did not care about life or death when he was asked about the sword. And at some critical moment, Chen Pingan's two natal flying swords might be the winner.

Who can bear it?

Chen Pingan remained silent and did not deny it. In fact, he admitted it.

As for why Chen Pingan made up his mind not to do this, it was because there was a trial. In the end, unexpectedly, Chen Pingan got a certain result.

Chen Pingan said something at that time.

During this trip to the hinterland of the wilderness, Haoran Luchen accompanied the hermit officer Chen Ping'an to protect the road.

Lu Chen, on the other hand, responded with a solemn expression and sincerely for the first time.

Haoran and Lu Chen are fortunate to be with you.

At that moment, Chen Ping'an was extremely certain that Lu Chen was not cheating at all. A third master who had been in Bai Yujing for thousands of years truly recognized his identity as "Haoran" and was willing to regard Haoran as the real world. hometown.

Lu Chen glanced at Chen Pingan.

It's okay, okay, this guy is more like Qi Jingchun, imitating Cui Han, but not enough.

In the final analysis, the knowledge of meritorious service put forward by Cui Chan in the literary sage lineage is a "primary school" compared to the fundamental knowledge passed down by the old scholars. Cui Chan can delve into this knowledge to the extreme, while Chen Ping'an can He just reluctantly learned something similar in appearance, but it lacked half of Cui Chan's character, so the other half was not what Chen Ping'an could learn if he wanted to.

Since Mr. Yin Guan treats others with such sincerity, it is not easy for the poor Taoist to hide him.

Lu Chen raised one sleeve and put his fingers together, and two women as small as mustard seeds appeared, walking slowly around a beam.

One of the women wears her hair in a bun with clouds in the sky, and she is very elegant. The other woman wears a lotus white shirt and a green skirt, and wears a pair of embroidered shoes.

It was the two women burning incense who came out of the Moon Cave Gate of the Fenhe God Temple. When Lu Chen met the two women "afterwards" and "for the first time", he silently said: "They are pear blossoms, not apricot blossoms"...

This means that Chen Ping'an worked hard to tell whether Lu Chen's invitation to the emperor was true or false. It only depends on whether Lu Chen's mood is good or bad, and whether the truth is proven or not.

Just because Chen Ping'an, who was waiting for the rabbit by the pond and then caught the turtle in the urn, was the caged bird in Lu Chen's sleeve. It looks like a mantis is chasing a cicada, but in fact it is a slingshot below.

But Chen Ping'an seemed to have expected this a long time ago, and there was no ups and downs in his Taoist mind, and there was no wave in the ancient well.

Lu Chen asked: "Did Qi Tingji quietly remind you that he was willing to help?"

With Cui Han's methods, there must be enough reasons to persuade Qi Tingji early on, so that the old swordsman would willingly sacrifice the "Bing Jie" and send Lu Chen on his way.

Chen Ping'an still didn't speak.

Lu Chen leaned against the pillars of the pavilion and said, "Chen Ping'an, speak with your conscience, tell me for yourself, should I be afraid of this embroidered tiger?"

Chen Ping'an was silent for a long time and then said: "I have always heard that you have five dreams and seven heart signs, each of which is manifested in a great way. It is mysterious and mysterious. According to the legend, the seven heart signs are the wood chicken, the chun tree, the mole, the Kunpeng, and the oriole. , 铓鶵, butterfly.”

Lu Chen put his hands in his sleeves and said with a smile: "This kind of unique skill cannot be easily shown to others. Previously, a young and energetic man who was full of enthusiasm and careless about his head and body gave me a Taoist training. But of course I need to be a little bit more skilled in Taoism." 'Fengshan', once a guy like you who likes to think about things gets caught, the consequences will be disastrous."

At this point, Lu Chen said tentatively: "Pindao's 'thinking about things and thinking about things' is a pun, can you hear it?"

Lu Chen is saying that the purple energy comes from the east, Taoism is in the east, Buddhism is in the west, and Buddhism is in the west. You, Chen Pingan, are a Confucian scholar, and your knowledge is right in the middle.

Chen Pingan glanced sideways at Lu Chen.

Lu Chen lamented, "What a way. I talk too much with idiots like fellow Taoist Qingtong and young Taoist priests, which makes me feel that if I don't speak clearly, my words are in vain. After all, I still want to chat with you. It's not troublesome after all."

Chen Ping'an smiled and said, "I heard that Taoist Master Sun had a wonderful evaluation of you."

Lu Chen held the back of his head with both hands and said lazily: "Is it the seemingly repetitive Lu Chen's 'no one can beat, no one can beat'?"

If it were Lu Chen, no one could beat him, and no one could beat Lu Chen, the meaning would actually be very simple.

Chen Pingan said slowly: "Zheng Huan, the Confucian master in the dream, was greedy for heaven's merits and thought of his own power, and finally chose to commit suicide. In the dream, he rested on a skull and dreamed again, and despised the joy of being king in the south. The oak tree was alive in the dream, the turtle died in the dream, and the dream turned into a butterfly. I don’t know who is who. Each of these five dreams has its own manifestation. Among them, the White-bone Real Man walking in the world of Qingming is the most obvious. But at the beginning, according to the historical records of the Summer Palace and the Confucian Temple’s Merit Forest, it seemed that the entire Qingming Mingtianxia doesn’t know that besides the seven things in your mind, you also have five more mysterious dreams.”

"In order not to start a fight with others, I had to show some strength so that the other party would retreat and avoid harming the peace."

Lu Chen raised his hand with a smile, bent his elbow a few times, and said: "There are many meaningless disputes. What are you most afraid of? I'm afraid that one party has already felt that they have completely broken their skin, and all they can think about is that they will not do anything but the other party. I don’t think so, but no one believes it. Is there any greater grievance in the world than this?”

The first three leaders of Qing Ming Tianxia took turns in charge of Bai Yujing for a hundred years.

Lu Chen seems to be the one with nothing to do, but after all, he is the "co-owner" who has nominally been in charge of a world for hundreds of years. The undercurrents in this situation are completely imaginable.

And according to Bai Yujing's rules, once a certain brother "takes charge of the world", the other two must not interfere in any affairs. It is said that this is a rule set by Daozu himself.

This means that if Lu Chen, who likes to leave Bai Yujing and travel alone, is killed on the road and completely dies, then the entire Qingming world will be in a situation of "a group of dragons without a leader, a world without a master" , but the other two heads still couldn't take action. No matter how chaotic the world was, they had to wait until the appointed moment to take over Bai Yujing and come forward to clean up the mess.

Chen Ping'an asked: "Zheng Xu, the Confucian master in the dream, was greedy for heaven's merits and thought he was his own power. He finally chose to commit suicide. He could only rely on the dream tombs of pines and cypresses for the consequences. You, the ancestor of the Lu family, are insinuating that you are in tit-for-tat confrontation with the Lu family of the Yin and Yang family. Zou Zi?”

Lu Tai was born in the Lu family of the Yin Yang family. He was one of the two teaching mentors. Besides Pei Min, who was skilled in swordsmanship, the other one was Zou Zi, who "explained everything in heaven".

Zou Zi's talk about the world and Lu's talk about the earth are recognized by the world, and Zou Zi is known as monopolizing half of the Yin Yang family, which is a consensus on the mountain.

Zou Zi attaches great importance to Lu Tai, otherwise there would not be the sword cultivator Liu Cai. But after Lu Tai met Chen Ping'an, Lu Tai seemed to have a disagreement with his mentor Zou Zi, and this matter and Zheng Huan, one of Lu Chen's five dreams, and his younger brother, finally separated the Confucian and Mohist differences. , somewhat similar.

"It's true that Zou Zidao and I are different."

Lu Chen quickly waved his hand and said, "It's just that Pindao doesn't have the ability to accurately predict that in the future, there will be an unfilial descendant of the family, Lu Tai, and you."

Chen Pingan said: "I answered your three questions before."

Lu Chen blinked, "Isn't it a problem?"

Lu Chen hesitated for a moment, "Before I went to Lizhu Cave to set up a stall, I took back the 'Two Dreams' Yi Xin Xiang from Qing Ming Tianxia, ​​and when I arrived at Haoran Tianxia, ​​I took back the Yi Xin Xiang again before entering Li Zhu Cave."

"You should have already made a guess about the latter, otherwise you wouldn't have asked Pindao about the origin of the 'Xiyue', one of the ancestors of Chenglujia, the Eight-fold Divine Man. Pindao's state of mind is exactly that." "铓鵵", in addition, it is indeed related to the golden wine of the robe and the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain. To be honest, the longer I stay in Baiyujing, the more I understand the sentence "Wherever there is a demon causing trouble, there must be something." "Taoist priests from Longhu Mountain" find it interesting and hope to use this to unravel the root of the word "immortal". For example, for a Taoist with relatively ordinary qualifications, it is faster to attain Taoism in the "mountain", but the height of attainment is limited. Still in "human", it is slower, but the achievement of the great road is higher, so I want to experience it personally as a noble person of Huang Zi. Finally, this person sat in an island grotto near Jiaolong Valley. "Hua', the troops are disbanded."

"But even if Pindao retracts the two dreams and one mind in one breath, even if he has paid enough attention to the derivation and evolution of the Lizhu Cave."

Lu Chen showed a bit of melancholy and said helplessly: "It turns out that Pindao was still too much and underestimated Qi Jingchun. If I had known better, I should have taken back the White Bone Master who tried to 'overwhelm the guest and usurp the host'." He is the most unruly and rebellious, so you should be the emperor. This guy is good. He has been practicing Taoism for three thousand years and has worked tirelessly for only one thing, which is to cause his own rebellion. No wonder he has an eye-catching relationship with our elegant Prime Minister Yao Qing."

"Headmaster Lu can say the second one."

"Before I went to the Great Wall of Sword Qi to find you, in order to avoid capsizing in the gutter and good things turning into bad things, I took back one dream and one mind image again, which were the Confucian master Zheng Xu in the dream, and the 'dumbfounded chicken' in the Lotus Flower Blessed Land. "Yu Zhenyi met Lu Tai by the way, and we had a great conversation."

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "It seems that you need to listen to my student's reminder."

Lu Chen asked back: "The third answer, do you want to ask what Pindao wants to take back when he returns to the Qingming world, or do you want to ask about Pindao's 'taking back', whether it is dream interpretation or mental state, what will happen to them What is it?"

"the latter."

"Get the freedom of no longer being a puppet. Whoever is who is who, anyway, it's not me, Lu Chen."

In fact, regarding Lu Chen, there is actually another theory from the Xuandu Temple, but it is relatively less popular than the golden words that Master Sun told the world.

Lu Chen is not a real person. What you see in your eyes is unreal.

Chen Pingan suddenly asked a shocking question, "That Mr. Zheng from Baidi City? He can't be one of your Five Dreams and Seven Hearts, right?"

Lu Chen was speechless. Wasn't he able to ask such a question after his head was pinched by the door panel? Lu Chen felt as if he had been hit by five thunders. He quickly closed his hands, raised them high, muttered something, and then said with resentful eyes: "Chen Ping'an, can we barely be regarded as a gentleman's dispute? Then you are a Confucian with an orthodox background. Disciple, he is still a martial arts practitioner who attaches great importance to rules. Can you please show some justice in the world?! Huh?! Even if there is some grudge or personal hatred between us, you can't use such dirty tricks to frame the blame. Means, right?"

Damn that Zheng Juzhong really has something wrong with his mind. If he thinks "Am I a Taoist?", Zheng Juzhong has nothing to do with the poor Taoist master. But if he is full and can hold on to another "I am a Taoist" "It's not Lu Chen." What do you want me to do, Lu Chen? ! Have you ever considered Pindao’s feelings?

Chen Pingan smiled.

Feeling a little better.

Lu Chen turned his head to look at the beautiful landscape outside the pavilion and sighed for no reason, "Mountains and rivers are magnificent and can easily dazzle people's eyes. If they are not careful, they can steal people's hearts. The wind blows and the flags move the heart. But now, when I go up the mountain to practice, I can use Taoist techniques." Thousands and thousands of people, only this matter is probably too common, so few people pay attention to it, and rarely remind the younger generation that people who practice Taoism are no better than ordinary masters. They need to concentrate and not be dazzled by the flowers or desecrated by the mountains and rivers. The beautiful scenery, including flowers, trees, and beauties, has taken away every trace of your mind. Instead, you must turn away from the guests and use them for my own use. I will swallow up the mountains and rivers, and I will be the host."

Chen Ping'an nodded and said, "It's the superior method."

"I'm not trying to help by saying some excusing words, I'm just telling the truth. That poor fellow, Senior Brother Yu, never does anything selfishly."

"It couldn't be simpler. Senior Brother Yu's qualifications for cultivating Taoism are too great, his Taoism is too broad, and his swordsmanship is too high. As for Senior Brother Yu himself, there will be no personal enmity at all. Of course, just because he acts impartially does not mean that he will not form any personal grudges. Personal enmities, such as that Taoist disciple of Taoist Master Sun in Xuanduguan, the Taoist monk Wu Shuangjiang in Sui Chu Palace, and of course your senior brother Chen Pingan, Qi, it seems that each of you has to settle the account with Bai Yujing Er On the head of Yu Dou."

"It's okay for Xuandu Temple. After all, it was my senior brother who went out in person, wore a feathered robe and a fairy sword, broke into Xuandu Temple, and killed Taoist Master Sun's junior brother with his own hands. Taoist Sun couldn't let go, but Pindao can understand to a certain extent."

"It's just that on Wu Shuangjiang's side, his Taoist companion just died within the Taoist rules set by Senior Brother Bai Yujingyu."

"As for you, there is no denying that it was Jiang Zhaomo and Pang Ding who beat Qi Jingchun to death. In full view of the public, the two highly respected Bai Yujing Immortals, relying on their status and Taoism, were not afraid of being found. Vengeance. As for you, my junior brother, you pieced together the truth by guessing and trying, and then you saw that scene with your own eyes, so it is reasonable to ask for an explanation from them, but senior brother Yu did not really take action, and besides, It was Pindao who avoided Qi Jingchun into that dead end, but Pindao is weird, why do you have such hatred for Senior Brother Yu?"

Lu Chen was indeed curious about this matter.

Logically speaking, Chen Ping'an could not have predicted the conversation between himself and Senior Brother Yu.

At most, what Lin Zhengcheng thought of was that the third master of Bai Yujing, Lu Chen, held a Baiyujing that could cross the world and come to Aquarius Continent at any time, forcing Qi Jingchun to take a detour.

If possible, Lu Chen still hopes to take all this old debt on himself.

After all, if you are not careful, after the founders of the three religions dispersed, the first life-and-death fight between monks in the fourteenth realm will happen in Qingming Tianxia, ​​right in Bai Yujing!

Otherwise, Li Xisheng, "one of the senior brothers," would never have said that to him at the Qingliang Sect in Luzhou, Beiju. That is a heavy "heavy word"!

Coupled with a certain conclusion that Lu Chen had just come to, it was not a fight between two great monks of the Fourteenth Realm.

But three!

Senior brother Yu Dou. In the arms of Guan Sun in Xuandu, Wu Shuang descended from the palace at the end of the year!

"Discussing things at the bottom of the mountain, asking questions on the mountain. Is it difficult to guess? It's not difficult at all. Every cultivator on the mountain has spent his whole life explaining and verifying a certain truth."

Chen Pingan said calmly: "I believe that the Grand Master Bai Yujing, who has not yet 'transformed the Three Pure Ones into One Qi', is willing to bear the consequences of losing a great battle. This is due to the Taoist heart of the Grand Master Kou Ming. So. There is no need for Mr. Li from Fulu Street or Zhou Li, the Taoist priest of the Shen Gao Sect, to explain anything to anyone. It is an established fact. The same is true for all the ceremonial saints in the world. The former little master, later the ceremonial saint of the Confucian Temple , wherever he stands, there is etiquette.”

"You, Lu Chen, are respectful to that senior brother, but you are Lu Chen, and you will never be as persistent as Yu Dou, so what you did in Lizhu Cave Sky seemed like you did nothing. Of course, It just 'looks'. But I also believe that in those years of setting up a stall, you must have thought of many 'compromise' methods. The reason why you can't do it is that you don't dare to add anything to the problem and mix it up too much. In the process of teaching harmony, even if Lu Chen is willing to back down and give way, it is simply impossible."

"Because Yu Dou is the real man behind the scenes. It is the headmaster Bai Yujing who wants to eradicate all the objects of the Dao struggle for the headmaster. Yu Dou will never allow Qingming Tianxia to lose again after his master disbands. A senior brother, the only Taoist priest who can reach the fifteenth realm, can only be the senior brother who preaches and teaches for him. If I am not wrong, Yu Dou will definitely threaten you with words before you return to Haoran and enter the Lizhu Cave. Just like I threatened Taoist Nen before, what, did Headmaster Lu not hear the implication of my words, or was he pretending to be stupid on purpose?"

Lu Chen rubbed his face with both hands. The poor Taoist still preferred chatting with fellow Taoist Qingtong or the young Taoist.

In fact, both parties knew it well, but they were too lazy to tell one thing.

As long as Chen Ping'an asks Bai Yujing for the sword in the future, no matter what the reason is, Yu Dou, as the second master of Bai Yujing, will never stand idly by.

Chen Ping'an narrowed his eyes and said, "I understand."

Lu Chen looked surprised and said, "Huh?"

Why are you talking like a poor person?

Chen Ping'an smiled and said, "No wonder you say such unnecessary things."

It turns out that Qingming's world is already full of internal worries.

Otherwise, as a person who is not even a sword cultivator in the fifth realm, there is no need for Lu Chen, who claims to "understand", to waste so much time.

Far more than that.

The difficulty of asking the sword Bai Yujing is much more difficult than asking the sword Tuoyue Mountain.

So it is very possible that Daozhang Sun has quietly reached the fourteenth realm and is a pure swordsman?

Wu Shuangjiang was also on the night boat, which was tantamount to "entrustment", and even began to regain a certain identity.

As for Wu Shuangjiang, who is in charge of the palace at the end of the year, he has the status of a Taoist official who lives in the countryside and does as the Romans do. But don’t forget, Palace Master Wu is also a military monk who can be worshiped in the martial arts temple in the world!

On that battlefield, will we pay attention to "benevolence and righteousness"?

As for Xuandu Temple, it is even more famous for its "we will challenge you alone, and you will challenge a group of us" when it comes to disputes on the mountain.

So Sun Guanzhu and Wu Shuangjiang teamed up to ask Jian Bai Yujing. To be precise, they were actually asking Jian Yudou?

Chen Pingan asked: "After returning to Bai Yujing, will you interpret all the dreams that you can interpret, and unite all the emotions that you can unite?"

Lu Chen said helplessly: "There is nothing we can do, Pindao is Master's most beloved disciple after all."

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "I won't say any kind words like "Bon voyage."

Lu Shenmei said, "Nowadays, thanks to the poor Taoist master, the word 'Taoist' has been exclusively used by Taoism for ten thousand years."

Chen Ping'an frowned slightly and said: "Ten thousand years from now, or ten thousand steps back, there will be no more Taoists. By then, your Taoist knowledge will not have declined too much. It is impossible to say that there will still be a 'literary and educated person' No matter how you say it, just the saying 'governing by doing nothing' will be highly praised by people of any status, especially emperors, generals and ministers."

Lu Chen's face was grim.

Chen Ping'an rolled his eyes and said: "Laugh if you want. How can my superficial knowledge of deduction and arithmetic be compared with masters like you?"

Lu Chen laughed loudly as expected, and finally put away his smile, "In today's world, the word 'jianghu' has also changed a lot, and 'forgetting each other in rivers and lakes' has also changed. But in ten thousand years, will there be rivers and lakes?" The water has dried up, just like fish living together on land, they can only help each other?"

Lu Chen was talking about the arrival of the Age of Dharma. He only wanted to say one thing: all people in the world will no longer be able to practice cultivation. The spiritual energy of the world will be exhausted like the sea withered, and all living beings will be like fish on land.

"So today, Confucianism is recent, Buddhism is broad, and Taoism is high. What will happen in ten thousand years? It is difficult to see the honor and disgrace of Taoist priests' life and death, but it is difficult to see where Taoism is headed."

Regarding this matter, not only Lu Chen, senior brother Kou Ming, but also Master have all made some deductions. It's just that Lu Chen doesn't want to worry about the world and is relatively simple, just using it to pass the time, but the senior brother wants to find a real solution. As for what the master thinks, he is probably on a deeper level, better, and higher than his senior brother.

Chen Ping'an asked: "Are you worried that there will be that embarrassing situation of 'high or low'? The high is still high, but there is just a layer missing in the middle?"

Lu Chen sat up and shook his sleeves, "As the old saying goes, it's up to people to make things happen. It's really discouraging. Since you only know that you can't do it through your own efforts when you start cultivating the Tao, you are a three-year-old who can do seven things in seven days. What do you want to do with so many things?"

Lu Chen suddenly said: "Chen Pingan, if we meet the Holy Master later, the Holy Master will probably ask you a question."

Chen Pingan asked: "How to say it?"

Lu Chen smiled and said, "For example, let's ask you what you think of the 'Three-Fourth War'."

Chen Pingan nodded, "It's possible."

Lu Chen asked: "Isn't the Holy Master already asking you?"

Chen Pingan said: "How do you think I should answer?"

Lu Chen said: "It's difficult."

There is no problem in exalting one's own lineage of literary saints and slightly belittling the lineage of sub-sages. It is no problem when it comes to emotions and private matters, but there is a big problem when it comes to public matters and principles.

But it would be even more wrong to say that Chen Ping'an does not speak up for his own Taoist lineage, or that he blindly rejects the Yasheng lineage.

If it is said that the answer is both, then such a muddled answer should not be treated as a joke by the Holy Master and his elders?

Lu Chen smiled and said: "How about directly bypassing the dispute between the three and four, but it does not really bypass the two lines of culture, saint and sub-sage?"

Chen Pingan nodded and said: "It makes sense."

Lu Chen said helplessly: "Where's the sincerity?! Where's the custom of treating people with sincerity as promised by the Luopo Mountain monks? Tell me, what is your answer!"

Chen Ping'an said: "Confucius said."

Lu Chen immediately answered: "Is there any education without distinction?"

Chen Pingan nodded.

Lu Chen gave a thumbs up and said in wonder: "Not only did you belittle the lineage of the Yasheng, but you also infinitely elevated the Supreme Saint. You also secretly pushed the lineage of the Literary Saint by half a step over the lineage of the Yasheng. That's what you are doing." After hearing this, Senior Brother Jun Qian could only smile knowingly and feel very happy, feeling that his own Dao roots could actually have such wonderful uses?!"

Chen Pingan said: "If I don't really think so in my heart, do I dare to say so?"

Lu Chen was silent for a moment and had to nod his head: "That's right."

If I had known this, I should have been so ruthless back then, I would have beaten this kid with a sap and put a sack on him and snatched him away from Bai Yujing as his younger brother. If I had saved him more worry and effort, I wouldn't have had so much trouble now.

Lu Chen looked up at the sky, "It's going to rain."

Chen Pingan walked out of the pavilion first.

Before the straw sandal boy in Mud Bottle Lane left his hometown and left the town.

Old man Yang from the drug store once reminded the boy to leave the backyard with the umbrella and hand it to the school teacher.

One big and one small, holding an umbrella together and walking in the rain.
