Sword of Coming

When I revisit my old place, things and people have changed, and the past seems like a dream.

Shujian Lake, Sulin Island.

The island owner Tian Hujun, who was originally in seclusion, quietly came out of seclusion, set up a banquet in a pavilion on the top of the mountain, and sat opposite a young monk in Confucian robes and turbans.

Tian Hujun's face turned pale and he didn't even dare to say a few words of greetings. He was like a schoolboy who knew he was naughty and was listening to his teacher's teachings.

The young man put away his thoughts and said with a smile: "Is Senior Brother Qin still so busy?"

Since the other party had a questioning tone, Mr. Tian Hu quickly and carefully crafted his words, and replied in a trembling voice: "Qin Jue and Zhao Fuyang of Zhuoyuan Mountain are old acquaintances, and I am not a stranger to Hehuan Mountain Fenwanfu Yu Chunzhi." More than a hundred years ago, Yu Chunzhi came to Qingxia Island. Master asked me to entertain the guests. A few years ago, Yu Chunzhi’s son Yu Zhen also quietly traveled to Shujian Lake and visited my island. Scale Island, so this time Hehuan Mountain invited a bride, Qin Jue couldn't shirk it, so he rushed to the banquet alone. I needed to retreat, and I didn't want to have anything to do with Hehuan Mountain, so I declined the invitation. The Hehuan Mountain banquet is tonight hold."

Those who should answer, tell the truth, but Mr. Tian Hu will never say too much, for fear of adding unnecessary details and creating unnecessary details.

For example, Hehuan Mountain now calls itself Little Shujian Lake. Tian Hujun dares to say one more word?

For a moment, she hated that Yu Chunzhi so much that she couldn't bear to die. Why did she get to know such a number one aunt?

The young man took a sip of wine, which was the Wuwei wine he bought from Chishuicheng before landing on the island, and joked: "More than a hundred years ago? A few years ago? It seems that Senior Sister Tian is still so unclear in her speech."

Tian Hujun turned pale in an instant and hurriedly reported two accurate figures.

The young man raised his palm, wiped his mouth and nose with his palm, and said casually: "Sister, don't be so nervous. It's just called Little Shujian Lake, and it's not the real Shujian Lake. What's more, what's the real Shujian Lake? Now, isn't it just between Senior Sister and me? Under the butt.”

The slugs of Mubo Alley in the past are now Gu Can in Baidi City.

He left Shujian Lake many years ago, and now he has just returned to Aquarius Continent from the wild world.

Gu Can asked for no reason: "Master didn't agree to Liu Laocheng's succession as the fourth sect leader of the Zhenjing Sect. Does he have the ambition to establish his own sect, or is he afraid of something or hiding from something?"

Tian Hujun felt as if she had been hit hard in the heart, and she almost couldn't breathe. It was because the master took her to visit Zhang Ding last time, and she heard some things that she shouldn't have heard.

Otherwise, she would not have to pretend not to know about Gu Can's problem.

"Senior sister has done nothing wrong, so why are you so nervous? There are no three hundred taels of silver here. If I hadn't known about senior sister's character, I would have been suspicious of senior sister."

Gu Can put down his wine glass, stood up, and leaned against the railing. "The pair of Flower God Cups on the table should be regarded as a gift to wish Senior Sister a successful retreat and her future promotion to Yuanying. They are not fakes."

Tian Hujun stood up.

Gu Can said: "Zeng Ye is almost the same as Lu Caisang from Oriole Island. They may not be considered friends, but compared to Senior Sister Tian and Senior Brother Qin, they are still different in my heart. In the future, the Five Islands Sect will Senior Sister Tian remembered to take care of her and became the Immortal Queen of the Nascent Soul. In the next hundred or so years of cultivation, she would help Zeng Ye do one or two things to help Zeng Ye in times of need. As for the icing on the cake, I don't want to owe Senior Sister a favor for this kind of thing. At that time, someone around Zeng Ye will naturally remind Senior Sister Tian to help and help the Five Islands Sect tide over the difficulties, so Senior Sister does not have to worry about when and how to take action."

Instead of feeling heavy, Mr. Tian Hu breathed a sigh of relief and said softly: "It is my duty to do this, and I will do my best."

Gu Can smiled and said: "Senior Sister Tian is still the same as before, speaking decisive words and doing things as light as a feather."

Tian Hujun's scalp was numb.

Gu Can said: "But he is better than me."

This time when he was escaping from trouble in the wild world, he went to a certain ferry and met Song Banchai, who was already the king of the Great Li vassal. They had been neighbors in the same alley for many years, but now it seemed that there was no point in meeting him again. It's not as fun as scolding through a door when I was young.

Gu Can suddenly stretched out the back of his hand and gently pressed it against his heart. His whole handsome face was distorted. He muttered for no reason and cursed Master Cao Ci for fucking him.

Because he had a fight with Cao Ci, who had already reached the next level of magic, and ended up losing miserably.

Gu Can looked at the island where Liu Laocheng's Taoist temple was located in the distance.

Gongliu Island is now the location of the Zhenjing Sect’s ancestral hall.

The current sect master, Liu Laocheng, is an immortal, and he is also the first wild cultivator to reach the fifth realm in Aquarius Continent in more than two thousand years. It is recognized in this continent that he has great luck.

The chief worshiper is Liu Zhimao, whose Taoist name is "Jiejiang" and is located in the Yupu realm. Li Furui, the master in charge of the law, is the only female cultivator in the Nascent Soul Realm who sits in the front seats of the Zhenjing Sect. She was once a cultivator of the Yugui Clan Genealogy.

Nowadays, the entire vast Shujian Lake is almost the private property of this lower sect of Yugui Sect.

The reason why it is "almost" is because there are five islands among them, which have their own sects and are not under the jurisdiction of the Zhenjing Sect, so they are particularly eye-catching.

Gu Can turned his head and looked away. Zeng Ye and Ma Duyi were practicing there now.

When Jiang Shangzhen served as the head of the Zhenjing Sect, he secretly made a shady deal with the Dali court to acquire five islands, including Baiji Island in Shujian Lake, without review by the Patriarch Hall and without notifying the Shangzong. , was "sold" to Luo Luoshan at a very low price, and the Ministry of Rites secretly recorded it. The delivery deed cannot be traced, and there are many loopholes, because this contract does not have the signature of the owner of the mountain, Chen Ping'an. Jingzong and Yuguizong were also kept in the dark and just cooked the rice.

Because Jiang Shangzhen used his identity as the leader of Zhenjing Sect and the identity of Zhou Fei, the chief worshiper of Luopo Mountain, it was like selling five islands from his left hand to his right hand.

When Zhu Lian learned about this at Luopo Mountain, he couldn't help but admire Chief Zhou's coquettish handiwork. He was amazed and must be amazed.

Of course, Jiang Shangzhen paid for this fairy money out of his own pocket, and it was only one hundred Grain Rain coins anyway.

At first, neither the Zhenjing Sect nor the Dali Imperial Court disclosed this matter to the public. Since then, these five islands have been under the name of Zeng Ye, a local ghost cultivator in Shujian Lake.

Later, the Jade Guizong realized something was wrong, and originally planned to make a fuss out of a molehill and take Jiang Shangzhen, the bastard who had enriched his own pockets, back to the Shenzhuan Peak Patriarch Hall and spit on his face.

As a result, Jiang Shangzhen returned to the sect for the first meeting. Before anyone could come to investigate, Xun Yuan resigned as the sect leader and was replaced by Jiang Shangzhen instead of Wei Ying, the leader of Jiuyi Peak. Therefore, the matter was dropped. After a great battle, the wild demon clan besieged Yu Gui Sect, and they no longer cared about such trivial matters.

It's just that after so many years, Luo Luoshan has never taken over this "enclave". It seems that it is intended for Zeng Ye to start a sect based on this, and just set up his own school.

In fact, this has certain hidden dangers. Once Yu Guizong and Wei Ying pursue the case and bring the three parties of the Dali court together to file a lawsuit, the Zhenjing Sect will most likely take back these five islands.

After all, besides being the head of the Jiang family, Jiang Shangzhen now seems to be a complete idiot in both the upper and lower sects.

In fact, the more than 40 top positions in the Zhenjing Sect's Patriarch Hall are truly genealogy monks from the Shang Sect. Their number is very small, accounting for less than 20%.

Even so, the Zhenjing Sect has never been able to suppress hidden dangers in the field. After all, the three previous sect leaders, Jiang Shangzhen, Wei Ying, and Liu Laocheng, alone are enough to intimidate the heroes.

The Five Islands Sect now has a small number of 200 recorded genealogy monks, almost all of whom are ghost monks and Yinling ghosts. However, if someone uses the Zhanqi method elsewhere, they will find that there is no strong filth in these islands. The evil spirit is actually quite refreshing.

There is only one portrait hanging in the Patriarch Hall, but it is not the portrait of the founder Zeng Ye, but a thin-faced scholar in green shirt, with a hosta on his head, hands behind his back, and a warm expression.

In this Wudao sect, Zhang Ding has the status of guest minister, and his Langhuan sect is considered to be in alliance with the Wudao sect.

As for the name of the Wudao Faction, which is a shabby gang, it has always been criticized. Ma Duyi often complained to Zeng Ye about this. Just changing the name of the sect was a major matter. He needed to deal with the Dali court and had to go to the capital of Dali. The procedures of reporting, inspection, and approval in the Ministry of Etiquette are cumbersome. Ma Duyi is a bastard, and she is a ghost. How dare she go to Dali Capital to see the world? The last time I visited Mr. Chen’s Luoluoshan in Old Longzhou, It was already Ma Duyi's limit, and that was because she and Zeng Ye were with Gu Can at that time.

The female ghost Ma Duyi, as the second-in-command of the Five Islands Sect, has been living in that fox-skin talisman for so many years and is unwilling to move. She has no ambition or ambition to break through the realm of cultivation. Instead, she is most interested in Baofengzhai, where she spends a small amount of money to make a lot of money.

She is also the owner of Yunjiu Island. The name of the island comes from the allusion of "Yunjiu drags the rain".

Gu Can asked abruptly: "The wedding banquet is tonight?"

Tian Hujun nodded and said, "I remember correctly, it's tonight."

Gu Can joked: "Is it the youngest Zhao Yan, or the third girl Yu Youyi? If I remember correctly, she seems to have an affair with the mountain god empress of the Luoyuan Mountain Temple?"

Tian Hujun shook his head blankly, "It is Yu Youyi who is getting married, but I have never heard of these secrets in Hehuan Mountain. Qin Jue only said that the candidate for the son-in-law has actually been decided, and he is from the Baihua Lake in the Miyun Kingdom in the south of Aquarius Continent. The youngest son of the prince."

Having said this, Mr. Tian Hu suddenly remembered the two Flower God Cups on the table.

As expected, Gu Can knew everything.

Miyun Kingdom is a water town with a huge lake called Baihua Lake. The name of this lake sounds gentle, but it is a vast water area with extremely strong water, extremely cloudy and treacherous waves. It is also called Gourd Lake because it has two large and small lakes. The joint is like a girdle, which happens to be shaped like a gourd. In the center of this "waist" waterway, there is a Dragon King Temple built to eat the incense of Qianqiu. The front hall is dedicated to a general of the Yuan Dynasty, which is used to stabilize the waves and control the water. , Shelter has good weather, because there is heavy fog and rain on the lake for at least half the year. Passing by the waters of Longwang Temple, the waterway is unclear, and it is often pitch black. In that season of strong winds and waves, the temple blessings of Longwang Temple in the early years will be Quickly turn on the lights and ring the bells and drums, and the ship can follow the light and sound and dock safely, waiting until the storm calms down before continuing to set sail. Because of their merits in protecting soil and controlling water, the emperors and monarchs of various dynasties in Miyun Kingdom in history have repeatedly awarded titles and titles to the two generals in the Dragon King Temple, and eventually one was crowned king and the other uncle.

It's just that a few years ago, for some reason, the statue of the Dragon King enshrined in the temple collapsed for no reason, and the two "generals" enshrined in the front hall and the main hall were also missing, and then they were killed by a water spirit that survived the war. After occupying the temple, in just ten years, countless official and merchant ships capsized and sank here. Now, whenever they pass by the Hulukou Passage, local boatmen, passing tourists and merchants all face the direction of the old Dragon King Temple to burn incense and paper and sacrifice cows. Sheep, and set off firecrackers to pray for smooth sailing.

Gu Can smiled and said: "Feng Shui is changing, a Baihua Lake is not as good as our Shujian Lake."

Mr. Tianhu looked at his eyes, nose and heart without saying a word.

Gu Can said: "I still envy people like Zeng Ye. He became a general and prime minister in a daze, and became a minister in an ignorant manner. Maybe this is called stupid people having stupid blessings?"

Tian Hujun hesitated for a moment and said from the bottom of his heart, "It is indeed enviable."

Gu Can said: "If you want to break away from the Zhenjing Sect and the genealogy of Qingxia Island, I can help."

Tian Hujun had a battle between heaven and man in his heart, but finally shook his head. He really didn't dare to get involved too much with Gu Can, so he might as well seek stability and become a Nascent Soul.

Gu Can smiled and said: "Forget it, my senior aunt Han Qiaise originally wanted me to help her find a direct disciple. I think you are the best candidate, senior sister."

Tian Hujun hesitated to speak, and finally remained silent.

The weather is getting warmer, the spring is warm, the birds are singing in the scenery, and everything is perfect.

Ma Duyi held several long wooden boxes in her arms and a package on her back. She came to the ferry on the shore of Yunjiu Island, preparing to take a boat to Zushan Kugu Island and the feudal Shinsang Island.

Nowadays, there are so many rules in Shujian Lake that the genealogy monks must have a booklet in hand and read it frequently in order not to violate the rules or prohibitions. For example, even the monk Yufeng has strict rules and regulations, and the route is set. Monks with different statuses have different paths. The Zhenjing Sect has given clear regulations, and this is the power of the sect.

The Five Islands faction is their own territory and does not have these restrictions. However, Ma Duyi prefers taking a boat and leisurely wandering around the lake instead of Yufeng.

Almost all of the people on Yunjiu Island are female cultivators. The person who is holding the boat is an old woman. She looks thin but has great strength. She smiled and said: "Island Master, have you gained something again?"

Ma Duyi joked: "Whether you make money or lose money depends on luck. If you miss it, you will get a reward when you come back. If you lose, it will be deducted from your monthly salary."

She had just collected a few calligraphy and paintings and several flower and bird painting albums, and planned to ask two experts to help identify the authenticity.

The old woman smiled and said: "The island owner really knows how to live a good life and manages his family well. I just don't know which man will be so lucky to marry the island owner in the future."

Ma Duyi smiled brightly and said, "Whether you lose or gain, there is a reward!"

Over at Dry Bones Island, the "ancestral mountain" of the Five Islands Sect, there was a guest, a ghost that Ma Duyi had "picked up" from the roadside in his early years. He was dressed in ragged clothes, but he looked graceful and graceful, and his body was full of poverty and sourness, which could not conceal the joy in his bones. Guiqi, named Deng Linjiong, is not good at words and has a cowardly temperament, but he is proficient in appreciation. He has a saying that this thing is not quite right.

As for why something was wrong, Deng Linjiong couldn't explain it. He was not like Yuan Zhuo who could tell the whole story clearly. However, after seeing the antiques in Linjiong's palm, he could tell that it was wrong. Facts have proved that it is indeed a fake. , high imitation.

As time went by, Yuan Zuo, who initially disliked Deng Linjiong, changed from being unconvinced at first to being sincerely convinced.

During the day, the wind is warm and the sun is beautiful, and at night, the wind and moon are in the same sky. Here, humans and ghosts coexist, and the relationship is harmonious, just like a paradise.

Zeng Ye is now a legendary monk in Shujian Lake.

It's not that his cultivation aptitude is outstanding, after all, he hasn't formed an elixir yet, but that Zeng Ye's luck is really good.

At that time, the boy who was born with a special physique was caught by Zhang Ding and took him away from Maoyue Island. The boy who was destined to die in his master's sect was transferred to Qingxia Island and was taken over by the accountant Mr. Chen Ping'an and later the young Yin Guan. Selected as a helper, the two lived next to each other at the mountain gate. Later, Chen Ping'an left Shujian Lake, and Zeng Ye followed Gu Can again. When Gu Can left his hometown and traveled to other continents, he eventually became the direct descendant of Zheng Juzhong in Baidi City. Disciple, before leaving, Gu Can "lent" Zeng Ye a piece of peace and quiet plaque issued by the Ministry of Punishment of Dali.

Zeng Ye didn't know until much later that Gu Can was so clever that he directly changed the owner of this piece of nothing to Zeng Ye.

Zhang Jing was filled with admiration for this. The Peace and Nothingness Card given by Da Li was recognized to be more valuable than the sect's genealogical certificate. The latter could only be used as an amulet, but the former was a gold medal for immunity from death. Moreover, Gu Can could actually It is extremely difficult to transfer the undisclosed card to Zeng Ye. It is not as simple as buying and selling real estate and delivering the title deed.

Then Zeng Ye accidentally picked up a secret book on the ground when he was walking alone on Dry Bone Island. On the preface page, there was a prophecy written, "Five hundred years from now, someone named Zeng will be destined to get it."

It's a pity that the ink on this line is not even dry yet. It's really a lie.

Of course it was Jiang Shangzhen’s handiwork.

The origin of this secret book is indeed not simple. It is a secretary's spiritual book that Jiang Shangzhen values ​​​​more. It can be imagined that the Taoist book that Jiang Shangzhen thinks is valuable is rare.

It was originally a relic obtained by the ancestors of the Jiang family from the blessed land of Yunku. Because only ghost cultivators can study this book, the threshold is high and the requirements for ghost cultivators' qualifications are extremely high. Therefore, it has always been relatively useless. Otherwise, you will not be able to have "the book that can be used as a guide for ghosts." The reputation of “Opening a Dharma Door”. But no matter how useless this secret book is, there are still a lot of ghost cultivators in the world, especially those sneaky and fat Taoist ghost immortals. If Jiang Shangzhen really wants to make money, he doesn't have to worry about selling it.

Fortunately, he left Maoyue Island and worked as a book boy for Chen Accountant of Qingxia Island. Gu Can presented Wushi Pai and obtained a very high-grade secret book of ghost ways. He owned five islands and established a sect based on this.

In less than thirty years, these five events happened one after another, making Zeng Ye the leader and founder of a sect.

Not long ago, a female ghost came here. She just joined the Five Islands Sect. Her name is Qutang. She is beautiful and in the cave realm.

The Five Islands Sect is a small sect, with only a few monks in the Fifth Realm, so after she joined the genealogy, she was promoted to the Ancestral Master Hall to be enshrined.

Ghosts in the world want to wander around during the day, unless they are successful in cultivating the Taoism, or rely on some protective spiritual weapon that can block the scorching sun and circulate the energy between heaven and earth. Otherwise, they will end up miserable, ranging from wasting their Taoism to losing their souls in the worst case. It’s just that some of the ghosts who have achieved little Taoism have to travel through mountains and rivers under the scorching sun during the day. This is similar to "walking on water". The Shanzeshui people walk on water to turn into dragons, and this kind of ghosts are to avoid some underworld. They must leave their original "haunted house", otherwise they will cause many unexpected disasters. Maybe there will be thunder in the sky and a few lightning strikes, and they will disappear. After hundreds of years of hard practice, they have paid a lot of attention. All flowing water. This requires them to seek a talisman, which can be used as a ultimatum to pass through the world. The best candidate is often a well-educated scholar. If they can find a so-called "man in the green yarn" with wealth and wealth in Feng Shui books, it will be even more so. luck.

As for those who are strong in martial arts, don't worry. It's like moths rushing to the flame. A martial artist's fists are strong and have more Yang Qi. Ghosts can't avoid them. How can they take the initiative to seek death by leaning on them?

Before Qutang left a ghost house that had been abandoned for many years, she hid in an umbrella and wanted to cross the river with the scholar, trying to avoid the eyes and ears of the river god and the nearby city god, and took the opportunity to escape. As a result, before crossing the river, She met a blue-shirted immortal master who saw through her identity, and there was no danger. The other party seemed to be deliberately testing and did not really make things difficult for her. Instead, he gave her a stack of yellow seal talismans and told her that after crossing the river, she could go to Shujian Lake. Looking for a monk named Zeng Ye.

Xinxin Island, the largest of the five islands, is said to be the remains of a great demon from Shujian Lake. It has numerous caves and winding roads, like an underground maze.

It just sounds more impressive, but it is actually a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters.

Yuan Wei, the current island owner of Xinchang Island, was one of the many Shujian Lake monks who died at the hands of Gu Can. However, Yuan Wei was born with a weak temperament and did not resent Gu Can so much after his death. He has been following him for so many years. He was very familiar with Chen Ping'an and Gu Can when they were with Zeng Ye and Ma Duyi. Every time he went out, Yuan Zhuo often accompanied Ma Duyi as a baggage house, buying antique calligraphy and paintings at low prices, helping to identify the authenticity and estimate the price. Quite a few leaks. As one of the few meritorious elders of the Five Islands Sect, Yuan Zuo now serves as a worshipper, and his status is somewhat similar to that of a dog-headed military advisor. The dojo is located in a cave on Xinhang Island with a plaque saying "Behave with sincerity and gallbladder." Ma Duyi eats meat, he drinks soup, and he also saves a fortune. He has a considerable family background, and he has taken in several lonely boys and girls as his disciples.

Ma Duyi did not expect that Yuan Zuo and Deng Linjiong were staying together and playing chess while Zeng Ye, a bad chess player, was watching the game.

Beside there is Qutang who is making tea, wearing hostas and snails in her hair, applying a little makeup, and grinding phoenix group tea cakes. She is really a beauty.

Ma Duyi opened the package and placed all the treasures she had just received at a low price on the table. She was not in a hurry to ask the two experts to help her look after them. She moved a chair over and said seriously: "Qutang, Mr. Chen must be watching. I feel pity for you when I fall in love with you. Let alone a man, I like him just by looking at him. Mr. Chen is the most pity for you. "

Zeng Ye said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense! How could Mr. Chen act like this? Don't make such jokes in the future, you are frivolous towards Miss Qu."

Qutang smiled and said: "Master Zeng, as long as Mr. Chen doesn't mind after hearing this, I don't care."

Ma Duyi gave a thumbs up to Qutang, then turned to look at Zeng Ye, tut-tutting: "Master Zeng, Master Zeng, I have been following Mr. Chen for so many years, but I haven't learned anything. It's just that he has this sour and Confucian air. A total of seventy-seven or eighty-eight."

Zeng Ye smiled and said, "It's good to learn a little bit."

Qutang asked curiously: "Is Mr. Chen a Taoist with good looks? How many Taoists are there on the mountain?"

She has an uncontested temperament, and when she gets here she lives in seclusion and doesn't have many friends. What's more, the ghosts of the Five Islands Sect nowadays all like to practice separately and rarely visit each other.

Yuan Tuo and Deng Linjiong looked at each other, both a little envious of Qutang.

She was a monk personally recommended by the young hermit official.

However, it seems that she is still kept in the dark and does not know the true identity of "Mr. Chen". Head Zeng and the owner of Ma Island have tacitly concealed this matter.

Yuan Tuo came from a wealthy local family in a small country in the south. He was recognized as a child prodigy. He was a reviewer of the Academy of National History at the age of sixteen. Later he was promoted to Yingfeng Hanlin, where he edited the history books of the previous dynasty and served as an official for more than 40 years. , the imperial court produced imperial edicts and inscriptions on honorary ministers of a country, and many of them were produced by his hand.

During his lifetime, Yuan Cui liked to talk and pay attention to moral knowledge. When he was a local official, he despised pragmatic official affairs such as prisons and arrests, money and food, and household registration.

The Yuan family has an extremely rich collection of books. It was once said to be the best in the southeast of the country. Yuan Yu personally searched for tens of thousands of books and built a new library called "Qingyanju". He compiled two catalogs for the family's rare rare books and rare calligraphy and paintings. A very important indicator of whether a family collection is a collection is whether the family collection can be compiled into a book based on the entries alone. It was just that after Yuan Zui left his hometown to practice Taoism, he lost his freedom in Shujian Lake. His letters were blocked and he could no longer take care of the family. In just two generations, the family fell into disrepair. The family collection was not well kept and was either pawned and sold at a low price by unfilial descendants or by treacherous people. Servants stole or resold, and maids and concubines destroyed more than half of it. A few years ago, Yuan Tong visited his hometown, but he just felt sad when he saw the things.

Because of Zeng Ye's relationship with Chen Ping'an and Gu Can, there are people to support him, and there is also a mountain of poverty as a backer. Therefore, the monks of the Five Islands Sect have now undergone earth-shaking changes in Shujian Lake. Generally speaking, they are quite comfortable. Compared with those Among the servant disciples of Zhenjing Sect’s outer sect who have not yet been entered into the genealogy, the Five Islands Sect is not superior to others, at least it is not inferior to others.

As for why Ma Duyi never wanted to restore her true appearance, she was extremely open-minded and only said that Su Zi had something to say, and this body was like a legacy. Since this is the truth, why bother about this?

Zeng Ye suddenly said: "Ma Duyi, I am going to go to Lijing City."

Ma Duyi asked: "Have you decided on a new name? Are you going to report it to the Ministry of Rites in person? Or are you going to exchange letters with Mr. Chen behind my back?"

Zeng Ye shook his head and said: "How can I bother Mr. Chen with such a trivial matter? I just want to go out and relax."

It turned out that Mr. Chen had sent a letter before, asking Zeng Ye to travel to the capital when he had time and gain insights. The letter also introduced an old immortal master to him, saying that the old Yuanying Liu Gao was in that alley. As a gatekeeper, Zeng Ye only had to stop at the alley, announce his identity, and say that he was acquainted with Chen Ping'an. He could also let Zhao Duanming, a young man from the Zhao family in Tianshui, take Zeng Ye to tour the capital with him. That's all Chen Ping'an wanted.

So Zeng Ye wanted to follow Mr. Chen's suggestion and take a trip to Lijing City.

Ma Duyi said angrily: "It's a trivial matter, why is it a trivial matter?!"

Zeng Ye smiled and said: "As long as the name of the sect is passable."

In the night.

An ancient temple surrounded by lakes, with a narrow stone staircase winding up in front of the mountain gate.

The young Taoist priest was sitting on the steps. Beyond the entrance of the mountain, at the foot of the island and facing the water, there lay a stone-carved mandarin turtle carrying a stele. It carried a large stone stele weighing ten thousand kilograms on its back. It was engraved with a poem about "moving clouds and spreading rain". Taoist books.

This place was once one of the many shrines of a certain true dragon. She stayed here only a few times in the past, but it is one of the few traces that have been preserved.

The seal is placed on the forehead, and the chi horns are slightly stained.

Lu Chen sighed, the clouds and the water were flowing together, blowing here and there, making him feel happy.

Looking at the big turtle, Lu Chen smiled and said, "Don't pretend to be asleep over there. Tell me how you escaped. Then why didn't Zhu Yan knock him down with a stick?"

The turtle carrying the stele unexpectedly came to life, twisted its neck, and looked at the Taoist priest wearing a lotus crown. The old turtle seemed to be extremely guilty, and said hoarsely: "Back then, there was indeed a disaster coming, so I told Fei Fei and Zhu Yan that I I am an old acquaintance with Master Lu, and I have been ordered to guard the Baihua Lake Temple here in compliance with the law. I also practice Taoism and understand the scriptures on my back. Sooner or later, I will go to Baiyujing to see Master Lu. If they dare to come here, Once again, be careful of Headmaster Lu being angry, Xiao Dao didn’t dare to hide it, that’s roughly how he worded it. The two big monsters on the throne let Xiao go after hearing this, and even Baihua Lake was saved. They all benefited from the glory. The light of Master Lu.”

Lu Chen clicked his tongue and said, "You are very arrogant in what you say. Do they really believe it?"

The big turtle nodded to the ground and said in a low voice: "It's a lucky chance, thanks to Master Lu."

Lu Chen waved his sleeves, and a painting of a lady appeared that looked like a fine brushwork. It was exactly the figure of the martial artist named Lu, and he said: "I don't have a good memory, and it's not convenient for me to tell fortunes frequently now. Please help me take a look. Is it right?" Not one of the many maids around her?"

The big turtle's eyes suddenly shone with golden light. He took a closer look and nodded: "Yes, yes. The appearance has changed a lot, but the temperament has not changed much, especially those eyes, which are unmistakable."

Lu Chen scattered the scrolls and said with a smile: "Old man, it's rare to see you again. If you want to complain, be careful."

"I sincerely ask Master Lu to show his kindness and help remove the stone tablet."

The big turtle said cautiously: "I beg you to be reincarnated."

Lu Chen put his hand to his ear and said, "What, the wind is too strong and I can't hear you clearly. Speak louder and ask for help. Okay, okay, bye."

It took a full hour until Headmaster Lu left the island and turned his head to face the giant turtle on the lake before he let out a sigh.

About half an hour later, the laughter of Master Lu could be heard in the Great Turtle Heart Lake, "A monk is only too impetuous to be able to condense the Tao."

The big turtle was not too frightened. Headmaster Lu was a bit good and had a lot of spirit, so scolding him a few times was nothing.

At the same time, the Taoist text on the stone tablet fell like autumn leaves. A moment later, the stone tablet was still on the back of the turtle, but the Taoist text carved on the stone was gone.

The old turtle then condensed into a human body, full of water luck. He held a small stone tablet in his hand as his natal treasure. He raised his arm high and smashed it into a water house at the bottom of the lake. He said slowly: "I am so violent. Can I tolerate your temper?!"

Hehuan Mountain, Fengle Town at the foot of the mountain.

In an alley, Liu Tie and the girl were walking in front, and Lu Mo was walking behind, about five or six steps away from them.

She only felt her eyes blur, and the blurred figure of the young Taoist priest appeared in front of her, smiling and breathing gently towards her.

The wind was blowing like sand, and Lu Mo had no time to react. A female young master who was at the bottleneck of a five-level martial artist. He was just breathed by the Taoist priest, and his flesh and blood melted instantly. His muscles and bones turned into countless golden stars, and he shot towards the wall. Dispersed sideways.

After Liu Tie took two steps, he suddenly turned his head.

Because Lu Mo, who was supposed to make even and subtle footsteps, lost the sound from her side.

Liu Tie breathed a sigh of relief. Lu Mo was still in the alley, but she seemed a little absent-minded.

Lu Mo shook his head. He seemed to have dozed off for no reason? But I always feel like I missed something.

The woman had no idea that after the Taoist priest blew his breath on her limbs and bones, she was almost dead.

With this change, Lu Mo, who had only achieved six realms of martial arts in his life, seemed to have been reshaped and had a pair of golden branches and jade leaves.

In the entire Hehuan Mountain realm, no one could discover a strange picture.

The sign of enlightenment that the Taoist priest Jin Xian'an pursues tirelessly is that a golden snake no longer than a foot long appears on the fingernail that is a tendon.

In this alley at the foot of the mountain, an extremely slender long golden line suddenly lit up. A small red gold snake suddenly rose into the sky and dragged for an extremely long time in the night, more than a thousand miles?

In an instant, the golden thread was pulled together with the Taoist boy in a Taoist temple of Shengaozong.

A golden lotus bloomed on Lu Mo's shoulder and on the Taoist boy's wrist.

Qi Zhen, the Heavenly Lord of Shen Gaozong, suddenly opened his eyes, stood up and took a step back to the mountains and rivers, looking at the long golden line gradually dissipating in the Taoist temple on the mountainside. This is called Tao Yuan.

The starting point seems to be the Hehuan Mountain on the border of Qingxing Country?

Qi Zhen didn't even dare to perform mental arithmetic, but he was extremely surprised. Could it be that Master Lu returned to Haoran?

But why go to such a tiny place?

In the back alley of the small town, the young Taoist priest leaned against the wall with his hands in his sleeves, yawned, and said with a smile: "Return to your original appearance three thousand years ago."

Shu Jian Lake, a small boat undulating with the waves.

Some people parked their boats here, and the water was filled with light wind and mist. They came to go boating and fishing in the evening, and there was a crescent moon on the horizon and on the lake.

In addition to an old man fishing, there was also an extremely handsome young man sitting on the bow of the boat, with a slender figure and a feminine face. He was dressed in white and was not holding a pole, just enjoying the scenery with him.

The young man asked: "Senior Zhang, I heard that there used to be a Hengbo Island here?"

The old man nodded and said, "You are a rare scholar in Shujian Lake. I heard that in recent years, you have been secretly compiling local chronicles and chronicles of Shujian Lake?"

The young man hummed, "You have nothing to do, just entertain yourself."

The old man suddenly lifted the pole, grabbed a pale golden carp in his hand, and threw it into the fish basket.

The young man asked: "Senior Zhang, can I ask you a question?"

It was just a simple question, but the old man seemed to have heard a big joke. First he couldn't help laughing, and then he laughed loudly. It took a long time to stop smiling and said apologetically: "Island Master Lu, I'm sorry."

The young man who was respectfully called Lord Lu was confused: "Why is Senior Zhang laughing?"

The old man looked at the silvery moonlit lake and said, "If I remember correctly, Island Master Lu was the previous Demon King before Gu Can came to Shujian Lake. He had a brother who could reach the Nascent Soul Realm at any time. , are rampant and lawless. Unexpectedly, now that Gu Can has gone to Baidi City, you, Lu Caisang, have also taken over Oriole Island, and even compiled a local chronicle. Back then, how could you have talked to me before you spoke? Can I ask you a question? I guess you didn’t even bother to say anything nonsense before you beat someone to death, right?”

Lu Caisang didn't get angry when he heard this, but nodded, "It's almost the same. Live and kill, just based on preference. There were no rules in Shujian Lake at that time."

The old man sighed: "The Shujian Lake used to be very similar to the wild world. The only rule was that there were no rules."

This old fishing man was once a veteran of Qingxia Island. He first followed Liu Zhimao, the real king of Jiejiang, and worked hard together to fight his way out. Zhang Qi assisted the latter to become the short-lived monarch of Shujian Lake. Later, Liu Laocheng first returned to Gongliu Island. Then the Great Li Cavalry went south, and finally the Zhenjing Sect took control of Shujian Lake. Zhang Qi then changed his identity, unexpectedly left Qingxia Island, and transformed into the head of the Langhuan Sect. However, in the area around Shujian Lake, Langhuan Sect The Huan sect belongs to the kind of mountain sect that is not popular at all. Unlike the Oriole Island where Lu Caisang lives, he has a seat in the ancestral hall of the Zhenjing Sect.

Lu Caisang continued to ask: "Why doesn't Senior Zhang continue to follow Chief Liu?"

Liu Zhimao is now the chief priest of the Zhenjing Sect. In recent years, there has been a rumor that he has a nose and eyes. The current sect leader Liu Laocheng has plans to hope that Liu Zhimao of Yupu Realm can take over the position of the sect leader. It seems that Liu Zhimao refused. . With Zhang's friendship with Liu Zhimao, they are recognized as right-hand men, and Liu Zhimao holds a high position in the Zhenjing Sect. It is only natural for Zhang to join the Zhenjing Sect and follow the chickens and dogs to heaven. He will make a fortune in the Zhenjing Sect. It is easy to hold an official position and a half-term position. Maybe an exception can be made for him. Even if he is not a golden elixir or earthly immortal, he can still become a member of the ancestor hall of a sect. Even if the seat is closer to the door, there is a world inside and outside the door. The difference.

Zhang Ding smiled and said: "Everyone has his own ambitions."

Zhang Jing said with a smile: "You, the Ten Heroes of Shu Jian Lake, in those short twenty years, have your own opportunities, and the few years we old guys have spent, it seems that you are not as good as you, and we can almost compile it into a plot." It is a fantasy novel full of twists and turns, full of dangers, and beauty. Once it is printed and sold in the bookseller's edition, I believe the sales volume will not be bad."

Lu Caisang shook his head and said, "The so-called ten heroes are actually only nine."

In the past, Gu Can took the lead, and the nine of them controlled the wind and rain in Shujian Lake.

Lu Caisang's senior brother Zhongsu is the current island owner of Oriole Island. In fact, the difference between the senior brothers is more than 500 years in Taoist age. Zhongsu successfully entered Yuanying more than ten years ago. Not long after he left seclusion, he began to retreat again, so every day When the Fengzhenjing Sect's ancestral hall discusses matters, it is often Lu Caisang, the younger brother who succeeds the island master, who handles matters on his behalf. Because Lu Caisang was a close disciple of the founder of Oriole Island, Zhong Su regarded Lu Caisang very highly and doted on him. He was both a junior disciple and a direct descendant, and he still raised him as half a son.

Just like Huang He once made a joke, asking Lu Caisang to apply makeup and put two big steamed buns in her arms, she would be more beautiful than a woman, and then she would be the boss of Gu Can's gang of cardigan girls.

Lu Caisang is already at the bottleneck of Longmen Realm and is about to form a pill, so this trip is the last time to relax before going into seclusion.

Liu Zhimao's second disciple Tian Hujun, because her senior brother was beaten to death by Gu Can, she became Liu Zhimao's first disciple and Gu Can's senior sister. It's just that Tian Hujun has hardly appeared in these years. After all, he is a golden elixir earthly immortal, but he is not as eye-catching as her two junior brothers Qin Jue and Chao Zhe who have not yet formed elixirs.

Fan Yan, the young lord of Chishui City, was recognized as a fool at that time, but turned out to be one of the smartest people in the city. Now he is "walking" in the Xingbu Yamen of the capital in the middle of Dali.

The former prince in trouble, Han Jingling, became the emperor of the Shihao Kingdom, and Huang He became the powerful official of the Shihao Kingdom. The father and son jointly controlled the government, and were the first to seek refuge in Dali, but the Song family of Dali followed suit. Yuan Yuan, the young master of Guming Island, had a good child that no one else would envy. Both his parents were golden elixirs, so Guming Island was able to have two top positions in the Zhenjing Sect's Patriarch Hall. Unfortunately, Yuan Yuan's own cultivation qualifications were average. I am now in the sea-viewing state. A few years ago, I got a lot of money from the gods and went out to do business. It is said that I was cheated twice and came home empty-handed. At the end of last year, I went out to explore with a big wallet, just like Da Li. A group of dandies in the capital got to know each other well and became brothers. They became regular customers at the Changpu River Restaurant. Most of the friends they made were the kind of officials' children who told them they could make a lot of money with their brothers.

Zhang Jing turned to look at Lu Caisang and joked: "You have achieved success at a young age and your practice is going smoothly, so why should you frown?"

Lu Caisang said softly: "I always feel that a storm is coming, but I can't prepare for it."

Zhang Ding nodded in appreciation and said, "If you think this way, you are truly successful in cultivating Taoism."

Lu Caisang grinned.

Zhang Jing suddenly asked: "Why don't you come to our Langhuan sect and be a guest?"

Lu Caisang twitched his lips and was about to refuse when someone patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I think Mr. Zhang's proposal is very good. I can agree to it."

Oriole Island.

The blue sky is like a drill, and the light shakes the Beidou.

An old man, dressed as a Taoist, was leaning on the railing after fasting, looking at the lakes and mountains, and the beauty of the mountains.

The golden light is shining, but it is not the strange phenomenon caused by the robe on his body, but the reason of the Tao Qi flowing all over his body.

The Qi ripples around the old man moved slightly, and a person appeared out of thin air. This person ignored the island's landscape restrictions and reached out to rub the jasper railing.

The old man didn't turn his head and sneered: "Liu Zhenjun, you are a rare visitor."

Liu Zhimao clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Forgive me for coming uninvited and disturbing Daoist Taoist Zaiyang's Qingxiu."

In the early years, Qingxia Island and Oriole Island didn't have much to deal with. One was named Zhenjun Jiejiang and was proficient in water magic, while the other was named Zaiyang Zhenjun and practiced fire magic.

Zhong Su twitched his lips and said, "It's good that Mr. Liu Zhen knows."

"The color of the oriole is already lovely, and it makes three or five sounds at the bottom of the leaves."

Liu Zhimao patted the railing gently and said softly: "It is indeed a better place. It is both eye-catching and ear-pleasing. The former is easy and the latter is difficult. That's why I wanted to annex Oriole Island back then, but it was hindered by Zai Yang's fire. The method is exquisite. Although there is a chance of victory, it is a miserable victory. I really don’t want you and me to fight with each other and let the fisherman of Gongliu Island benefit.”

Zhong Su smiled and said: "Mr. Wu of Shuijun Mansion just walked forward, and Liu Zhenjun came in behind. Why, did you get Liu Laocheng's instruction to let Zhenjun beat me?"

The first Lake Lord of Shujian Lake, Xia Fan, a ghost, was born as a battlefield hero. He was once a scout of the Great Li border army and had numerous military exploits.

Wu Guanqi, the mastermind of the Lake Lord Water Mansion, was most likely a spy from Da Li. On Oriole Island, Wu Guanqi came to the island as a guest. This person was full of praise for Lu Caisang. In his words, he hinted that Zhong Su, as a senior brother, might as well plan a new path for his junior brother in the long run. On the other side of Guming Island, Lake Lord Xia Fan personally came to visit. There were some previous visits in the first month of the year, and none of the chief officials in the Shui Mansion deliberately hid Ye's whereabouts, as if they didn't care about the Zhenjing Sect's opinions at all.

Liu Zhimao laughed and said: "Brother Zhongsu, since we are both being treated as dogs, why should dogs bite dogs?"

Zhongsu is an outlier from Shujian Lake, the least like Shanze Yexiu, extremely elegant.

When Liu Zhimao was prevented from unifying Shujian Lake, Oriole Island contributed a lot, but it was not a struggle of interests. Zhong Su simply couldn't stand Liu Zhimao's clumsy behavior and his dirty tricks.

In Zhong Su's words, even if a dog is left sitting on that chair, it would be better than Liu Zhimao being the co-owner of Shujian Lake.

Liu Zhimao smiled and asked: "After all these years, you are still insisting that Shanze Yexiu is also a Qi practitioner. Zhong Su, tell me, what do you think?"

This old friend, Zhang Jing, was born as a serious cultivator of genealogy, but in his life he only wanted to be a wild cultivator.

Zhong Su was a wild cultivator born and raised in Shujian Lake, but he always wanted to be a disciplined cultivator.

A long-time friend and a bitter rival are both so baffling.

Miyagi Island.

The monastic career of a genealogy monk is inseparable from schoolwork.

Even the more genius you are, the more your master's elders will do.

Guo Chunxi is one of those "strange people" who has very poor qualifications but has a lot of tricks.

This is all thanks to the fact that Guo Chunxi is the direct disciple of Li Furui, the second chairperson of the Zhenjing Sect. However, apart from this prominent status, he has nothing to praise. His qualifications, family background, appearance, conversation... In Gongliu where immortal masters gather together The island is worthless.

As for why Guo Chunxi is so highly regarded by Li Furui, there are many private speculations among his colleagues. Some say that he comes from a small country in the southeast of Aquarius Continent. He used to study martial arts. There is an immortal mansion near his hometown, and he seems to be from the Qingzhi sect. Anyway, it's just a small sect, a humble sect that ordinary people have never heard of. It's just that he somehow caught Li Furui's eye and accepted him as his direct heir. A man who is already in his thirties is now a two-level qigong practitioner. However, Li Furui still seems to think highly of this person. Not only does he personally He taught Taoism and also gave Guo Chunxi a magic weapon to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The other direct disciples who were already monks in the fifth realm were naturally confused. They were envious and surprised, but they did not dare to question the master. It is your decision to respect Guo Chunxi. Whenever you see Guo Chunxi, you will have a smile on your face and call him Junior Brother Guo, which is a bit flattering in your approach.

Every once in a while, the Qingzhi Sect will hold a mirror show, mostly in the Gao Zai Pavilion with its upturned eaves and winged wings by the cliff.

Guo Chunxi will definitely miss every scene. If she doesn't watch it, it will scratch her heart, and if she doesn't watch it, it will be even more heart-wrenching. After going up the mountain to practice immortality, it is said that a Taoist has a weak relationship with the mountains and rivers, but he will still send a letter home regularly to tell his parents that they are living well in the foreign land. In short, it is the same old tune. Talk, and then send a letter to the martial arts school, chatting a few words about the customs and customs of the mountain with master Xu Yuanxia. After practicing, Guo Chunxi quit drinking. At first, he quit drinking completely. He didn't drink at all for several months. Later, he watched "Through the Looking Glass" and now quits almost every day.

Guo Chunxi is not interested in knowing what is going on in the mountains outside. Just cultivation, daily lessons, and breathing are enough to make Guo Chunxi very anxious. He really knows that he is suffering, and his qualifications are too poor. Those fellow disciples who are easy to pass, and even his nephew Many people of this generation have achieved success in their studies and enjoyed it like a fish in water. However, unlike others, cultivation is a real hard work, boring and boring, and progress is slow.

Normally, when the master teaches classes, Li Furui casually says a few Taoist secrets and explains a few words, so that the senior brothers and sisters can understand by analogy, but he is the only one who listens like a cloud.

Just meditating and visualizing the directions of the caves in the small world of the human body will make Guo Chunxi blind. There are always huge deviations. But let alone the monks of his generation, even for those monks of the master and nephew generation, this kind of thing is as simple as Eat and drink.

The master's eldest disciple is an old land immortal in the Golden Core Realm. This senior brother has several direct disciples and more than a dozen further disciples. They are all pretty good Taoist practitioners. I usually meet her while walking on the road. As a result, these monastic geniuses still have to call Guo Chunxi, who is a second-level monk, uncle. Guo Chunxi was thin-skinned at first, and would want to dig a hole to crawl in. Over time, he became numb, and he just got used to it.

From the blushing face and grunting at the beginning, to the non-stop walking and just nodding in greeting.

Brother Zhou, who had fallen in love with him at first sight in the martial arts school, once gave him a very light robe with green ground and woven landscape and cloud patterns.

If it weren't for the help of this robe to absorb spiritual energy, it is estimated that "Uncle Guo" would be a first-level qi practitioner today.

Guo Chunxi is not smart, but he is not a fool either. He knows that he owes this fate to Brother Zhou, who claims to have also suffered emotional injuries and is a fallen person in the world like him.

But Guo Chunxi still underestimated the significance of that robe.

This is a robe from Kesefang, one of the eighteen scenes of Yunku Blessed Land. It has fairy tapestry and spring water cloud patterns. It is very famous on Tongyezhou Mountain. This one was taken out from Zhou Fei's hand, so it is There should be a magic weapon rank. Zhou Fei used the Immortal Family's trick to blind him, and also suppressed the robe's unique magical power of "drawing threads through the warp and cutting the weft", otherwise Guo Chunxi wouldn't be able to wear it. Once Zhou Fei removes the spell, the Qingzhi Sect's current landscape aura, if it cannot be stopped by the Ancestral Master Hall's formation, will lose half of it at once. The aura will be extracted from the body by the robe and blended into those warps.

It's no wonder that Li Furui didn't take it seriously and didn't teach Taoism to Guo Chunxi seriously. Even though he knew it was a waste of both parties' time, Li Furui didn't dare to neglect it at all.

After all, this disciple was Jiang Shangzhen's favorite disciple who was "recommended" to her personally.

As for the robe that Guo Chunxi is wearing now, even an old Yuanying like Li Furui would be jealous of it. It is truly priceless.

It comes from the engraving workshop of Yunku blessed land, fairy tapestry, spring water cloud patterns, first-class magic weapon, both offensive and defensive. If Jiang Shangzhen hadn't tampered with the robe long ago, Guo Chunxi wouldn't be able to wear it with his shallow Taoism. , this robe can actively absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth at a speed equivalent to that of an earthly immortal refining energy in seclusion. Guo Chunxi just didn't have enough mansions. As his realm improved, this disciple began to understand more and more how rare the robe was. In fact, to be precise now, it was not Guo Chunxi who was refining his energy, but the robe that was helping him temper his body and soul. Nourishes the soul.

But in Gongliu Island, or the entire Zhenjing Sect, the monk with the most special status is still a young female cultivator. Her name is Zhou Caizhen.

In the moonlight, the girl walked alone on the shore, holding a broken willow branch in her hand and waving it gently. She was probably the only one on the island who dared to break the willow branch without fear of any punishment.

She stopped, because not far away from the road, stood a young monk with a gentle temperament, looking at her with a smile.

Zhou Caizhen hesitated for a moment, but decided to take a short detour and pass by the monk with an unfamiliar face.

But he had already spoken: "Your name is Zhou Caizhen, right?"

Zhou Caizhen nodded and asked doubtfully: "Do you have anything to do with me?"

The young man shook his head and said, "It's okay. I just came over here to see you."

Zhou Caizhen stopped and asked, "Who are you?"

The young man asked with a smile: "Did anyone bully you here at Shujian Lake? Well, I mean the kind of gossiping and gossiping behind your back. I guess no one else would dare to say anything unpleasant to you in person. "

Zhou Caizhen laughed dumbly and shook his head.

The young man smiled and said, "Why don't you think about it again?"

Zhou Caizhen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Really not."

Which Zhenjing Sect monk is such a bad guy?

Seeing that the young man was motionless, Zhou Caizhen joked: "What would you do if we were Sect Leader Liu?"

The young man's eyes were clear and he smiled and said: "Then within a hundred years, the old and new accounts will be settled together. If you find a reason, I will help you kill him."

Zhou Caizhen was instantly horrified and subconsciously took a step back.

Because her intuition told her that the seemingly humble young man in front of her was definitely not joking!

In a hidden dojo of Zhenjing Sect, Liu Laocheng was sitting opposite a female cultivator from Baidi City who claimed to be Han Qiaose.

Outside the door was a young woman with the aura of a wild monster clan. She claimed to be Gu Can's new follower and she would have to work for him for a hundred years.

On the shore, the young monk who blocked Zhou Caizhen's path said, "Hello, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Gu Can. I come from Tianhuaihuang County in Lizhudong. I live with that person in Niping Lane."

In the capital of Yuxuan Kingdom, there is a dark alley in Yongjia County filled with chicken and dog excrement.

The young Taoist priest found a boy who had been near the government office in Changning County.

The Taoist priest wearing a lotus crown stood outside the door, muttering to himself, "I finally found you."

But the Taoist priest was not happy.

An old man was sleeping soundly in the house and occasionally coughed unconsciously.

The young man was burning a lamp and boiling medicine in the kitchen. His movements were very light. The gloomy look on his face made the thin young man look even more miserable. However, whenever he was in a very bad mood, he would think of Wu Daochang's words for no reason. , the young man would smile involuntarily, thinking in his heart that it would be great if he could become a Taoist priest in the future.

Lu Chen's out-of-body Yin spirit quietly set up a large formation here, causing headaches and headaches. Didn't he just report that the time has not come yet? Do he really have a debt to repay?

At the top of Pomo Peak, Zhao Fuyang and Yu Chunzhi came hand in hand with Yufeng. Since the two princes did not carry the three-party jade seal, they actually couldn't reach an agreement within a few words.

Zhao Fuyang sneered and said: "Cheng Qian, are you really going to die together? Qingxing Kingdom and you favor Qingfeng, aren't you afraid that one will destroy the country and the other will destroy the incense?"

"Don't be shameless."

The young-looking old man shook his sleeves and said with a smile: "It's just Hehuan Mountain. It can't be said that both jade and stone will be destroyed together. If you are exhausted, you will hit the stone with an egg. Just wipe away any stains."

At the hot spring in Zhuoyuan Mountain, the soon-to-be-married Yu Youyi and the mountain goddess empress laughed and walked out of the water holding hands. The spring water seemed to slide through the snow-white fat. Then they were horrified to find that those dresses had disappeared. They looked at each other, not in shame, but in panic. Who could sneak into this place without anyone noticing, and then steal those clothes only a few feet away from them? !

Palace Master Bai, who is wearing a crane cloak, is already in Fenwan Palace. Even though he is in a side hall, unable to go to the brightly lit main hall, Baimao's seat is still in the corner.

Lu Mo left the town with the girl named Ni Qing. The female martial artist was worried, and the girl looked back three times.

In an instant, the entire Hehuan Mountain world was aware of a majestic energy that suddenly spread out, like a scorching sun hitting the ground, as fragile as glass and shattering in all directions.

The momentum spread out like a tidal wave. Fortunately, it was only a momentary phenomenon. Before all the Qi practitioners, warriors and ghosts could recover, the tide flowed back faster.

————

At that time, after the ceremony of Qingping Sword Sect, a large group of people went out to travel in groups, and then parted ways at Taiping Mountain, and one group of them continued to travel south together.

In the same lineage of literary sages, there are Li Baoping, Pei Qian and Zheng Youqian. A pair of master and servant in name only. Of course, the fat man Gu Su himself felt that he and Zhong Kui were good brothers who shared the same wealth and adversity.

There is also a little girl who was born in Tieshu Mountain. Her master is a fairy named "Longmen" and her ancestor is Guo Outing of Tieshu Mountain.

As expected, he stayed in Taiping Mountain, so he had nothing to worry about. If his disciple Tan Yingzhou followed them, there wouldn't be any surprises.

Not to mention traveling to Tongye Continent, even to the Middle Earth Divine Continent, that group of people can have no restrictions.

A ferry named Caiyun passed by a beautiful fairy scene with a rain curtain. Because the ferry would pass through the rain curtain, almost all the passengers walked out of the cabins. On the bow of the ship, a charming young monk came He had the bearing of a son of an aristocratic family, with a small bronze mirror hanging from his waist, a white jade crown, and wide sleeves and broad belt. As he walked, his clothes felt like wind and water patterns. He and Pei Qian first said goodbye and performed a unique Taoist ritual, and then asked softly Said: "Dare you ask the fairy's Taoist name?"

Pei Qian said calmly: "I'm not a fairy, I'm a martial artist."

Frequently, genealogy monks like the man in front of him, or wealthy children out for fun, would come to chat with Pei Qian, more than two or three times.

Li Baoping was lying on the railing, tilting his head, watching the show.

The man didn't give up and continued to ask: "Miss, can you tell me your name?"

Seeing that Pei Qian had no intention of speaking, the man was not annoyed and said with a smile: "My name is Chu Gao, and my Taoist name is 'Feishuang'. My ancestral home is Cuibai County of Dachong Dynasty. Now I am in the Leiji Sect of Yunding Mountain. I grew up at a young age." I followed my master, Immortal Master 'Lei Mang', up the mountain to practice, and stayed at Qizhi Peak for nearly forty years to practice Taoism. Just because my talent is dull and my bones are average, my master was worried that I would leave Qizhi Peak, so I rarely went out to practice."

A wild cultivator in the mountains and rivers can choose a Taoist name at will, and it is worthless at all. However, whether a genealogical cultivator is qualified to have a Taoist number is a huge dividing line. Just like the merchants of a country, in the capital where every inch of land is precious, whether they have the financial resources. It’s almost like buying a big house.

Fatty Gusu, who was not far away, was amazed and laughed from the bottom of his heart: "Brother Zhong, listen, just a few sentences revealed so much key information. If this guy rarely goes down the mountain to experience, I will eat shit." From now on, I will take care of all the dung buckets on this ferry."

Zhong Kui smiled and said, "Even the ferry boat may not dare to agree to your request."

Unlike cross-continental ferries, small ferries such as Caiyun underfoot do not like to accept ordinary people and pure warriors on board. One of the more difficult reasons is that these people have diarrhea when they eat and drink. They must be solved. They may stay on the ferry for a long time, so if they are doing chores on the ferry, it is fine if they are ordinary masters. If they are Qi practitioners of the outer disciples, especially women, it is a troublesome thing to deal with those chamber pots and buckets every day, or It was cleaning the toilet, which was filthy and smelly, so naturally they were extremely unhappy about it.

Chu Gao has a Taoist title, which means that he is at least a Qi practitioner in the cave realm. He was selected by the immortal master for qualifications and was able to climb mountains at a young age. A forty-year-old monk in the fifth realm is nothing but a genius.

The surname is Chu, and he was born in Cuibai County of the Dachong Dynasty. The Chu family of Cuibai is a prominent and powerful family in the local county of Dachong. In addition, the Yundingshan Leiji Sect is one of the most powerful immortal houses in the Dachong Dynasty. Compared with only having two The Qingzhuan sect of the Jindan Patriarch is going to be the winner. The peak master with the Taoist name "Lei Mang", although not the leader, is an old Yuanying Patriarch. He has some military exploits because he participated in that war. , so he is highly virtuous and respected, and he can be regarded as an old immortal with a high reputation and realm in Tongyezhou today.

Pei Qian smiled politely and said, "I've heard about the name of Lei Jixian Mansion in Yunding Mountain and 'True Lord Lei Mang' in Feijing Peak for a long time."

Chu Gao said: "To be honest, I went out to practice this time in compliance with my master's orders and went out to collect the Lei Han Tianshu manifested in various places. It was because my master recently wanted to add a book on the Thunder Method for the Dachong Dynasty. Book. Furthermore, I heard that there are monsters in the Lanru country, not too far away from here, and the moral standards are not low. As a result, the land of the two states has been dry for three or four months from the end of last year to the spring of this year. When the weather was abnormal, the Lanyang court and Qin Tianjian still didn't know the reason. One of my friends in the mountains took the risk and went to investigate, only to find that a monster dared to linger at the entrance of an abandoned Jiuzhou City God's Temple, deliberately He pretends to be a dragon and confuses people, so I want to work with a few friends to subdue him and capture him back to the mountain."

To say that in Tongyezhou a few decades ago, it was not too bad for a genealogy monk like Chu Gao to have a master with Yuanying realm. When traveling, it was difficult to call him a beautiful person. After all, he The master has more than twenty direct disciples, Chu Gao is just one of them, not to mention that Yunding Mountain is not the leader in the Immortal Mansion on the mountain in the Dachong Dynasty. Things are different now. Let alone the Dachong Dynasty, even if he goes to the south of Tongye Continent, as long as Chu Gao shows his master's door, he will definitely be the guest of the emperors, generals and ministers of various countries, and he will only do his best to curry favor.

Pei Qian nodded with a straight face.

It's obviously a hint to the other party that now that it's finished, you can leave.

Gu Su said: "If I were a fledgling female cultivator on the mountain, with a little lighter eyelids, I would definitely be willing to take the initiative to undress and take off my belt for Mr. Chu."

Zhong Kui joked: "You have three hundred kilograms of fat. How hungry do you have to be for Mr. Chu to take notice of you?"

Zhong Kui then said with a smile: "These little tricks are just the remnants of the gangsters in the market. It's okay to deceive young fairies who are not experienced in the world. To use Pei Qian's words when he was a child, they are just bagasse that even dogs can't bite. By playing these tricks with Pei Qian, Mr. Chu is blind. Meeting Pei Qian is like a little liar meeting the founder of his own industry."

Gu Su asked cautiously: "Is Pei Qian so powerful?"

Zhong Kui said with a smile: "If you are like me and have seen Pei Qian when he was a child, you would never dare to take it lightly last time in Qingping Sword Sect."

The fat man complained: "Didn't you tell me earlier?!"

Zhong Kui said: "What did you tell me earlier? I have known Pei Qian earlier than I have known you? Am I stupid for turning my elbows outward?"

The fat man stretched out his hand and beat his chest gently, and said sadly: "The iron-clad brotherhood is so worthless?! I'm so angry!"

Zhong Kui frowned and said, "It's strange. How did Mr. Shangguan teach such an unconventional and romantic disciple? Aren't you afraid that he will lose his security in the later years? I have to ask later."

Most of the monks from the Lei Ji Sect, probably because they were in harmony with their practice of thunder methods, had strong personalities and extremely hard bones. During the war that year, a group of direct descendants from the ancestral hall, under the leadership of the master of the palace, fought with the man who was later known as Yu The young military general who was the pillar of the clan dynasty gathered his troops together, fought and retreated, and whenever he had the opportunity, he went to attack the wild monster tribe and made great achievements. However, after the success, the entire Feijing Peak and the direct descendants of the Leiji Sect's Patriarch Hall did not take any credit, and even deliberately concealed this deed. There is just a rumor circulating in the mountains. The old Shangguan claimed that I was helping General Huang. It was just such a force, not the Yu family who ran faster than rabbits when they saw an opportunity.

Tan Yingzhou said from the bottom of his heart: "Come on, you, Senior Sister Pei, have a good temper. If I were to be stalked and beaten by an embroidered pillow, I would have punched him on the other side's door and disappeared." Never stop punching until your face is covered with blood!"

Zheng Youqian was actually surprised. He always felt that this Senior Sister Pei was not the same as the "Zheng Qian" he imagined.

Especially after getting along with each other for this period of time, Zheng Youqian found that although Senior Sister Pei didn't talk much, she always had a smile on her face, was very kind, and was not fierce at all!

On the contrary, she is like the kind of woman who comes from a hairpin family, who is well-educated, virtuous, gentle, and extremely well-educated.

There is another strange thing about Yingzhou. I can't figure it out no matter how I think about it. If it comes to appearance, Sister Aquarius is definitely more beautiful. Why are all those men going after Pei Qian? I asked Zheng Yougan if he knew the reason.

Zheng Youqian hesitated for a long time. He obviously knew the answer, but it was not appropriate to speak. After all, they were all senior sisters. Talking about this was unruly and impolite.

Tan Yingzhou said angrily: "If the Dharma is not passed on to the six ears, what are you worried about? Do you think I am a millet grain, so I like to use my ears to repay God?"

Zheng Yougan then cautiously said: "Senior Sister Li is very good-looking. Most men don't think there is any use in striking up a conversation, so they simply don't ask for trouble. Senior Sister Pei is naturally good-looking, but she is not as good-looking as Senior Sister Li. The two of them Senior sister is almost inseparable every day, and every time they show up, they stand together, and a quick-thinking and crooked man like Chu Gao can't control Huahua's heart."

Tan Yingzhou sneered: "You know so much?!"

When the little girl said this, Zheng Yougan didn't dare to mention the second reason. He swallowed it back and hid it well.

There are also some men who may be drunkards who do not care about drinking and want to get to know Senior Sister Pei first before getting to know Senior Sister Li.

Alas, these libertines with evil intentions have really read the books of sages in vain.

The young uncle is still very good at predicting the future. He has secretly made himself remember the scenery along the way, especially the names and mountain gates of the disciples.

Tan Yingzhou asked: "Your junior uncle has never sent you a secret letter or anything?"

Zheng Youqian shook his head and said frankly, no.

The young master uncle is very busy, and he is doing big things. In addition, the young master uncle is not the kind of elder who likes to boast. Even if he asked someone about swordsmanship recently, he would not tell him.

Tan Yingzhou looked at him with a look of pity, "Again, I think Lord Yin Guan thinks you have no future and is too lazy to talk to you."

Zheng Yougan grinned and said, "It's true that I don't have much potential, but my junior uncle is not such a person."

Tan Yingzhou said in a complicated tone that was both regretful and fascinated: "I heard a friend from the mountain say that apart from slashing people, Mr. Yin Guan is just as powerful as scolding. I don't even bother to scold you, nor do I praise you. You have a little one." It’s true that my uncle is a master, but it’s a lie that Lord Yin Guan has a nephew like you.”

Zheng Youqian hesitated for a moment. He had learned from the past and didn't dare to say anything more.

Don't look at the little uncle's quarrel skills, because he was a young hidden official in the Sword Qi Great Wall, and later participated in the meeting of the Confucian Temple where the two worlds were confronting each other, so he became famous, and everyone in the world knew what the words of the little uncle were like. Feijian, but Senior Brother Cui told Zheng Yougan privately, in fact, your junior uncle's quarrel skills may not even rank among the top ten in his hometown town.

Zhong Kui asked the fat man to perform meritorious service and help Pei Qian out of the siege. Gu Su claimed to be her distant uncle and shouted loudly again, telling Chu Gao and those little bastards to get out of here.

Returning to Zhong Kui, the fat man smiled and said, "How?"

Zhong Kui looked at the fat man pitifully. It is true to remember small merits, but it is even more true to be resented. If you are Pei Qian's uncle, aren't you the same generation as her master?

Pei Qian and his party came to Li Baoping's house. The table was still piled with a large number of different types of mortises and tenons. Various types of mortises and tenons were as small as a fingernail, and even as small as moss. There was also a small wooden mortise. The box was filled with planes, nails, hammers and hammers of different specifications, which made Li Baoping look like a carpenter and mechanic. There were several samples on the table that had not yet been truly finalized and were roughly shaped like wooden kites.

In addition to these, there is also a thick book full of "terminology" that Li Baoping has researched by himself.

Zheng Youqian had seen the scene in front of him many times, so he was puzzled. What was Senior Sister Baoping doing tinkering with these wonderful objects every day? What on earth did she want to make? Isn't she a Confucian academy gentleman?

Seeing their curiosity, Li Baoping smiled and said: "Suddenly, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth appeared, and there were monks in the world. So suppose that one day the spiritual energy of heaven and earth suddenly disappeared, what would the spiritual practitioners do? How can they control the wind, how can they enter the water? .”

Tan Yingzhou blurted out: "How is that possible!"

Li Baoping smiled, "So it's a 'hypothesis'."

Pei Qian smiled and said: "Sister Baoping once made the assumption that a large group of Qi practitioners were suddenly thrown into a 'lawless place'. This place has a mountain and river territory equivalent to that of the old Great Li, with a population of over 100 million, and none of them have been seen." The level of these foreign monks is not high, and there are no monks in the fifth realm. Therefore, every time they fight, they need to consume the spiritual energy they have accumulated. The spiritual energy recovered through their respective secret methods and magic weapons is definitely not as good as The total amount lost will be more than you can make ends meet, so every time you make a move, no matter what the purpose is, you have to be more cautious."

"Generally speaking, we can have a rough estimate of the three kinds of fairy coins, gold, silver and copper coins, together with mineral reserves. There may be two gaps in the Confucian Temple or the Liu family's secret files in Aai Aizhou. The numbers are too big, but the aura of heaven and earth is destined to be impossible to quantify. Fortunately, there is a blessed land between heaven and earth, and great monks can also create small heavens and earth."

Li Baoping fiddled with the tenons on the table and said to himself: "This structural model has several key points. First of all, it is assumed that the total aura of all lower five realm qi practitioners is equal to that of a golden elixir earthly immortal. The total amount of spiritual energy. Secondly, because there is no additional spiritual energy and the world is closed, the rule of one plus one equals two is strictly followed. Therefore, monks refining energy, drawing talismans, refining alchemy and other 'weird things' that come out of nowhere, It's like they are all left out. Third, there must be several reference objects that tend to be 'eternal' in a narrow sense, such as orientation, weight, length, etc., and they must be as stable and constant as possible. Fourth, the inner workings of the entire world, Several underlying operations are needed as the basis for the expansion or contraction of a small but complete world. To be precise, it is the connection between people, objects, heaven and earth, and some kind of feedback. Is it a compensation mechanism or a random pattern? , or a combination of the two, you need to weigh carefully. If the context is not clear, the avenue will not be obvious. Whether it is circular or linear, whether it will finally converge to 'equivalence', or disorder as the only order, or between virtual and real There is a certain loss value in the conversion, and the calculation method must embed this or more..."

Li Baoping was dumbfounded when he saw Zheng Yougan. The little girl yawned and felt a little sleepy. Alas, it was obscure and incomprehensible. It was even more difficult to understand than the secret Taoist secrets taught by the master.

Only Pei Qian listened extremely seriously.

Li Baoping immediately stopped talking and said with a smile: "If we don't talk about these, they are all unrealistic dreams anyway."

If she continues talking, it will become more complicated, involving ropes and knots, such as the Taoist lineage of the Qi practitioners on the mountain, the "entrustment of Sven" by a certain sect leader from a Confucian cultural background and a certain underachiever, and the two interact with each other. As friends, we each have friends, money exchanges, past conversations and words, who thinks of whom in their hearts... Just talk about the financial path, and distinguish between the real and the real. The money and goods in business transactions are real, and the credit and debt figures on the account books Weixu... In addition, plus the red line of marriage, the genealogy of the ancestor hall on the mountain, the genealogy of the ancestral hall at the foot of the mountain... is like a tree, and it grows on a calm, mirror-like lake. The upper and lower parts are reflections of each other, and the water surface Above, it can be the real world, and underwater is the illusory world, but it can also be viewed upside down, and the trunk, branches, green leaves, blossoms, and fruits of this tree can be like a human body, with leaves falling and disappearing. Without a trace, they turn into soil or water. There will be dead branches falling to the ground and turning into decay, just like people's words and deeds. For example, autumn leaves and dead branches gradually dissipate between the sky and the earth without leaving a trace. Some seeds will also fall to the ground nearby and take root. Further and spreading... Those branches that are full of life can be, but are not limited to, lines of thought, or context. Every gradually formed cognition and idea, whether someone is good or bad, good or evil, is It can be a leaf or a flower. People can experience warmth and coldness, fragrance, sweetness and bitterness, and feel the beauty and ugliness of others... Every mature and fixed life experience is like a fruit that never falls to the ground, hanging on the tree for a long time. , someone who has been missed for a long time can also be, but whenever someone is forgotten or a certain truth is changed, they will quietly fall to the ground and disappear. The fundamental principles in his heart are just branches, but the branches can also be the four seasons of the year, the twenty-four solar terms, and the seventy-two seasons. They are just branches. In short, Li Baoping is still classifying them into categories. , there is no conclusion yet, just like silently compiling an unprecedented... series of books.

So Tan Yingzhou sighed with Zheng Yougan in private, what is this Aquarius sister thinking about every day.

Zheng Yougan just didn't talk to him.

Only Pei Qian would listen attentively every time Sister Aquarius talked about this with her eyebrows flying.

After all, the first time when Pei Qian was a child, he saw a "book mountain" in Li Baoping's academy at Sui Cliff Academy.

Before that, Pei Qian already felt that he was already proficient in copying books, but when she came in, Xiao Heitan immediately lost his desire to win.

After Tan Yingzhou and Zheng Youqian left the house, Pei Qian stayed in the house, hesitating and hesitating.

Li Baoping smiled and said, "What do you want to ask?"

Pei Qiannan said: "Sister Baoping, there is still half a year before the debate between the three religions. Do you need to start a small stove?"

The difference between this three-religion debate and any previous debate is that each of the three religions, Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, sent nine people.

In fact, there is no requirement for the number of people.

On the Confucian side, there was Yuan Yu, the head of the Hengqu Academy in Zhongtu. Li Baoping and others from Baopingzhou Cliff Academy.

Participate in the debate among the three religions!

It's really something Pei Qian can't think of.

Pei Qian believed that he could fight and curse, but forget about such debates.

Li Baoping smiled and said: "There is no need to open a small stove, and there is no way to open a small stove."

Seeing that Pei Qian didn't understand, Li Baoping patiently explained: "It's not a matter of following the script. It's more about improvising on the spot. Otherwise, if you go there, the endorsement will be ordinary. The people who are debating and listening are all smart people, and they will be able to do it all at once." If you show your flaws, you will lose face when the time comes."

Pei Qian was very curious and asked in a low voice: "Sister Aquarius, aren't you nervous?"

Li Baoping was stunned, "Huh?"

What are you nervous about?

Neither the junior uncle nor the master required themselves to win the argument.

Besides, don’t I have an older brother who is very good at reading?

Seeing Pei Qian's stunned look, Li Baoping twisted his wrist and an extra wine bottle appeared. He laughed and said, "I'm nervous. How can I not be nervous? I have to drink some wine to calm down."

Pei Qian was a little helpless.

Li Baoping said with a smile: "Actually, the first one to speak and the last one to speak, the first and the last one, only these two may be a little nervous. After all, everyone who is listening will pay special attention. Of course, there are ways to relax. , just talk to yourself, don’t care about what other people say, make a good draft, memorize it by rote, stand up, finish chatting, sit down, and you’ll be fine.”

Pei Qian asked: "Sister Aquarius, have you thought of a general strategy?"

Li Baoping crossed his arms across his chest and leaned against the back of his chair. He looked energetic and grinned: "According to the situation, I generally have only one purpose. If possible, I will say as much as I can, and try to attract all the people who are listening." I’m tired of chatting, so I’ll talk about mine, and you should drink or eat! When I was at the Cliff Academy, I listened to the masters nagging me, and they repeatedly talked about the wheel, but this time I have to make up for it!”

Pei Qian was extremely sure that Sister Aquarius was not joking and was taking an extremely serious idea...

If those observers of the debate between the three religions who are either in the Fourteenth Realm or the Ascension Realm find out about this, they will have to blame the teachers at the Aquarius Continent Cliff Academy...

Li Baoping asked: "Pei Qian, I haven't noticed how you drink these days?"

Pei Qian said awkwardly: "I didn't like drinking at first, but the master came back again."

Li Baoping lowered his voice and said, "Has Big White Goose told you a plan?"

Pei Qian asked in confusion: "What did the younger brother say?"

Li Baoping said: "Big White Goose is now particularly looking forward to the close disciple of Junior Junior Uncle. It may be a junior junior sister, but of course it is best to be a junior junior brother. Big White Goose said that if Junior Junior Uncle helps him find a junior junior brother , that would be lively.”

Pei Qian silently wrote it down.

The lineage of literary sages respecting the elderly and loving the young is very traditional.

In addition to the old scholar's protection, as a certain dog-headed military advisor from the literary sage said, it is almost like an old hen protecting its chickens.

Another example is that Zuo Zuo obeyed his husband's words, and Chen Ping'an greeted his husband with greetings and had absolutely nothing to say.

Whether it was Cao Qinglang, Pei Qian and his nephews, or Chen Ping'an against Zheng Yougan, it was obvious to all that he was protecting his shortcomings.

But when it comes to the friendship between peers, haha.

At that time, Zuo Zuo and Qi Jingchun, and later Cui Yi and Chen Ping'an. Li Baoping and Cui Dongshan, Pei Qian and Cao Qinglang...

Therefore, Big White Goose is very confident and confident on Li Baoping's side. We call this inheriting the tradition and carrying it forward.

If you don’t bully your junior fellow apprentice, how can our husband and master, Aquarius, your junior junior uncle, have the opportunity to show your love and protection for the disciples who have closed their doors?

Afterwards, the group of people encountered a secret cave with overlapping landscapes and restrictions, which Pei Qian had accidentally seen on the ferry earlier.

The fat man got excited when he heard it. He must go and take a look! What if there is an affair? With Brother Gusu’s appearance, temperament, and conversation?

Zhong Kui didn't think it was a big problem, so he just thought of it as traveling around the mountains and rivers, visiting immortals and exploring the secrets.

After Fatty Yu Jin, a coolie ghost fairy, broke through the restrictions one by one, he could vaguely see the ancient temple and deep hall in the hazy smoke, which seemed to be an abandoned dojo.

The fat man shrank his head and said in a low voice: "Brother Zhong, we won't encounter a fierce ghost, will we? You know, I am timid and afraid of this the most."

Zhong Kui smiled and said: "Are you afraid of meeting a sexy ghost, or are you afraid of not meeting a sexy ghost?"

The fat man answered the wrong question: "A pure mind, less thought and few desires, a way to cultivate one's body and transcend the world. I am still a little bit impatient."

Zhong Kui has been with this fat man for a long time, and he can naturally hear the implication between his words. If there are any sexy ghosts blocking the way, they will come to me, Uncle Gusu, and just use eighteen kinds of martial arts to test my Taoist heart and determination.

Zhong Kui frowned slightly and whispered: "It's obviously not a dirty place, so why is the evil aura so strong? It's equivalent to an ancient battlefield where tens of thousands of Yin soldiers gather."

It wouldn't matter if he and Fatty were the only ones hanging around here, but now they are surrounded by juniors like Li Baoping... Forget it, thinking of Pei Qian, Zhong Kui just reminded them in his heart to be careful and not to get too far away from each other. He kept a distance, especially told Yingzhou and Zheng Yougan, the two children with the lowest level, and told Fatty to remember to protect them and not to think too much about romantic encounters in the mountains and wild fields.

The fat man nodded and sniffed again, "It's like a fish in water, so happy."

Suddenly there was a deep voice in the mountain, the sound was like thunder, and it echoed in everyone's ears, "Quickly exit, this place is dangerous, it is not suitable to stay for a long time."

The fat man looked around and said, "Brother Zhong, this guy is quite wise. Even I can't detect the source of the sound. In Brother Zhong's opinion, is it a human or a ghost, an enemy or a friend?"

Zhong Kui hesitated for a moment, but for the sake of caution, he turned around and said: "Baoping, Pei Qian, you follow Yu Jin and leave here with Zheng Youqian and Tan Yingzhou."

The fat man stamped his feet and said, "Why!"

Zhong Kui patted the fat man on the shoulder.

The fat man shrank his neck and said, "That's fine."

In the pavilions and pavilions, the moonlight is gradually filling the paper windows, and the shadows are charming. The small garden has winding paths, and there are flowers on the roadside. There are vaguely women in palace clothes, and cicadas are moving quietly on their temples.

Another woman's charming voice sounded, "Why don't you leave? Since you've already come, why not stay together?"

When the fat man heard this voice, his bones went numb. He snorted a few times and said in a deep voice: "Brother Zhong, just escort them away personally. I won't leave today anyway! I have to walk into the dragon pool and the tiger's den. For such a profound evil spirit, even if I risk my life, I will help the academy determine the identity and roots of the other party. If such a sinister and evil person is hiding in the world, how can he pass all the plans here? How can you just sit back and watch as you pass by?!”

Pei Qian just turned his head and looked at one place. The distance seemed very close. It was just a few feet away on the right. Pei Qian shifted his gaze again to the northwest. This time, his gaze was even closer, as if the other party was very close at hand. . By the time Pei Qian changed his gaze for the third time, he was looking far away.

The fat man was extremely surprised. What was the origin of this Pei Qian? How come he didn't know that a martial artist of the End of the Realm had such a unique magical power, as if he had opened his eyes in the sky?

Zhong Kui asked in his heart: "Did you find any trace of the other party?"

Pei Qian replied in his heart: "I found it, but the second and third times, I deliberately looked in the wrong direction. As for this little trick, I don't know if it can deceive the other party."

Zhong Kui reached out and rubbed his eyebrows.

As expected of Xiao Heitan, who was able to fool those few detectives when he was a child.

Zhong Kui looked up intently, and all the blinders dissipated on their own. There were no pavilions or pavilions anymore, only an ancient stele stood on a hillside, with the characters "地" written on it and the characters "天" written on the bottom.

In the middle of the ancient stele, there is still a vertical line of ancient seal characters that will never be turned over.

On the top of the ancient monument, a rusty copper coin sword seemed to be placed randomly.

In this ancient ruins, all the evil spirits came from the hillside, but they were suppressed by the ancient monuments and copper coins.

Then Zhong Kui shook his head. This place was actually occupied by two young monks, deliberately trying to scare people. One of the young men seemed to be a swordsman?

At this moment, they were hiding behind the stone monument, and they all looked nervous.

A man and a woman, both of whom are not of high level, have not yet formed an elixir, and are not demons. Most of them are from local casual cultivators in Tongye Continent and entered this place by mistake.

It's just that there are already signs of being infiltrated by evil spirits. To put it simply, if they stay here for a long time, they will be resurrected by the weirdo that was suppressed by stone tablets and copper coins.

Zhong Kui suddenly realized something was wrong.

He smiled bitterly for a moment, what flying sword, is his natal magical power so incredible?

However, whether they accidentally bumped into each other by chance, or were used as puppets, they seemed to have mastered the formation center of this ruins.

It turned out that Zhong Kui seemed to have returned to the inn in Hu'er Town. The proprietress was sitting behind the counter, smiling like a flower. The most terrifying thing was that at a wine table, Mr. Academy was waving to him, gesturing for Zhong Kui to sit down and drink.

No matter how Zhong Kui used his magic, it was like he was imprisoned on the... back of a mirror.

At the same time, Yu Jin was sweating profusely, and on the other side of the hillside stood that... Wen Hai Zhou Zhou!

Yu Jin plucked up the courage and used all his strength to attack Zhou Mi, who must have been an illusion. Zhou Mi smiled calmly, stretched out his hand, and with just one tap, knocked the ghost to the ground. Unable to move, the voice above his head was like thunder rolling from the sky, "Yu Jin, if you don't succeed enough, you will fail more than you can do. What's the point of keeping you?"

Pei Qian stood there, sweating profusely. Her eyes widened. In the night, a skinny figure chewing on a steamed bun slowly turned his head and looked at a child with a sallow face and skinny muscles.

Zheng Youqian was in a trance, as if he had turned into a demon clan, surrounded by people of the same kind. He looked up and saw a tall city, with flying swords falling like rain, hitting him.

Tan Yingzhou was also in a similar state. The little girl's eyes were blank, her soul was trembling, and she was extremely frightened.

Only Li Baoping just raised the back of her hand and tapped her forehead lightly. She quickly regained her clarity and consciousness. After she noticed something was wrong, a narrow knife appeared in her hand.

At this moment, ripples rippled, and another "Zhong Kui" staggered out of a gate, cursing. It turned out that just trying to enter the underworld and then return to the earth was useless. He had to obediently walk to Huangquan Road, the gate of hell, and cross the layer. Passing through the passes at high speed, no matter what etiquette or rules, Zhong Kui finally returned here. Anyway, in Fengdu, he was destined to owe a lot of stupid debt this time.

But just as Zhong Kui told Li Baoping not to worry, he cursed her and fell into an illusion again...

On the other side of the hillside, Zhong Kui caught a glimpse this time. It was no longer an illusion, but a vague figure of a woman, as if she was holding a bamboo basket. She stared blankly at Zhong Kui, seeming to be thinking of something, but it just happened to happen. Unable to remember, she sighed quietly, turned around, looked at the stone tablet, stood on tiptoes, and tried to take away the copper coin sword. When her fingertips touched the copper coin, it was like a blazing fire from the sky. It spread to the entire small world in an instant, but she did not shrink her hand, and her fingers gradually twisted the seemingly lightweight copper coin sword.

Zhong Kui started to run away again on the road of Yin and Ming. He was burdened by many debts, but this time he had to borrow a Fengdu treasure to use as ballast to suppress his own Yin God!

Damn it, there were some joking words along the way. Is Uncle Zhong taking a walk? Oops, isn't this brother Zhong Kui? Are you addicted to visiting the Gate of Hell?

When Zhong Kui, dressed in a bright red robe, rushed on his way, he half borrowed and half snatched a valuable treasure, held it up with one hand, forced his way out of the underworld, and finally appeared next to Li Baoping again.

But they found that on the top of the mountain, a man in scholar's clothes appeared out of thin air. He raised a palm and condensed the sea of ​​​​fire into a pure fireball. He then stretched out his hand to gently press down the copper coin sword and held it with the man holding the bamboo basket. The blurry figure smiled and said: "Senior will be able to leave here on his own soon, as short as half a year, or as long as one year."

He lightly stamped his feet, and the ground turned into a futon dojo. The crumbling stone tablet immediately became motionless as if it had received an order.

Li Baoping sheathed the knife, shook the narrow knife, and shouted with a smile: "Brother!"

Li Xisheng smiled and nodded.

Li Baoping said hurriedly: "Help me!"

Li Xisheng waved his sleeves and everyone returned to normal.

Li Baoping asked in her heart: "Who is she?"

Li Xisheng actually had a guess in his mind, but he rarely lied to Baoping, "Brother doesn't know either."

Zhong Kuigang wanted to ask this Confucian scholar who was a master of Taoism about the origin of the woman. Li Xisheng smiled and said: "My name is Li Xisheng. I am the eldest brother of Baoping. I have heard of Mr. Zhong's name for a long time."

Zhong Kui had already put away his robe and put the heavy treasure into his sleeve. When he heard the other party announcing his identity, he felt a little embarrassed for a moment, "That little snow cone brush..."

Li Xisheng smiled and said: "I did give it to Master Chen in the early years. It's just that Mr. Chen lent it to Mr. Zhong, so it has nothing to do with me."

Zhong Kui and Li Xisheng looked at each other and smiled, bowing and saluting almost at the same time.

Li Xisheng looked at Pei Qian with a gentle expression and chuckled: "It's just fate. Don't blame yourself. Even if I don't take action, you will still be in danger. If you don't believe it, you can ask your master later. Let’s see what he says.”

For the first time, Yu Jin felt a little guilty and did not dare to go see Zhong Kui.

Zhong Kui patted his arm, neither blaming nor saying anything to comfort him. He just said jokingly, "Fat man, do you know what it means to share hardships as blessings?"

The fat man raised his head and grinned.

A star in the sky.

On the top of the strange mountain, a burly figure sat cross-legged, with his hands clenched on his knees, and sneered: "The content of the inscription is quite impressive."

Standing by the side was a young monk, none other than Mr. Sanshan Jiuhou. He said with an indifferent expression: "It is not illegal to brag."

"How to settle this account?"

"You can calculate it however you want."

The burly man narrowed his eyes, "Then it's settled."

Mr. Sanshan Jiuhou still said the same thing, "It is not illegal to brag."

Everyone left the ruins, and Zhong Kui took the boy and girl with him.

Li Xisheng then traveled with them to Tongyezhou, and the fat man never said a single dirty word along the way.

Then at a certain moment, Pei Qian heard a voice in her heart. After the other party revealed her identity, everyone noticed the strong murderous intention in her body.

Li Xisheng thought for a while, but still didn't say anything.

After that, Pei Qian hugged everyone and said goodbye. In an instant, his figure disappeared, leaving Tongye Continent and returning to Aquarius Continent.

In the alley of Fengle Town, Pei Qian instantly restrained his fists and walked into the courtyard.

After Pei Qian greeted her master, she stared blankly at the Taoist priest.

Then Pei Qian quickly regained his composure. His whole person, his fists, and his thoughts were as calm as water, without any ripples.

Lu Chen lamented, "It's over, it's another old and confusing account."

If Pei Qian showed up this time with a fierce attitude, I wouldn't be afraid. He would ask if a fist fight would be the best without saying a word, but her appearance and mood are very permeable.

Chen Ping'an stood up and said with a smile: "It's been a long time since we traveled together."

Zhou Qiu stood there blankly.

Chen Pingan introduced with a smile: "Miss Zhou, her name is Pei Qian."

Pei Qian grinned and said, "I am Master's first disciple."
