Sword of Coming

There is a small boat on the river going down the river. There is a slanting wind and drizzle. There is a fisherman and an old man with a green bamboo hat sitting on the bow of the boat, looking up and drinking. Behind him are two beautiful singers. They are wearing thin clothes and sitting gracefully. One of them is holding a pipa. , noisy and noisy, one person is holding a red dental plate, and the singing is melodious. It seems to be noisy and mixed, but in fact it is orderly in chaos and complement each other.

The three masters and servants of the boat are naturally Taoists.

A Qi practitioner flew across the river with the wind, and casually took out a magic weapon. The precious light flowed like a white firefly, and smashed it against the small boat. He cursed: "It's so noisy! You can pretend to be an uncle when you drink. This river water It’s enough for you to drink, and it doesn’t cost you any money!”

As a result, the old fisherman raised his arm and shook his sleeve slightly. Instead of overturning the boat, the menacing Bai Lian all crashed into the fisherman's sleeve. They buzzed for a moment and soon fell silent.

The Qi practitioner suddenly hovered as if he were mourning for his heir, and begged: "Old god, give me back my flying sword."

The old fisherman sneered and said, "Kowtow and beg me."

Without saying a word, the Qi practitioner landed on the river, using the river water as the ground, and kowtowed with a bang, causing splashes of water.

The boat flew away like an arrow. After the blind dog ate his head three times, the old fisherman shook his sleeves, dropped a snow-white sword pill, held it gently, and threw it backwards.

After the sword cultivator took back the Benming Sword Pill, he swept away a large section of the waterway, laughed loudly and said: "Old man, if those two little ladies are your daughters, I will be your son-in-law. One is not too little, two is not too much." Too much..."

One of the young women holding the pipa sneered and plucked the strings suddenly, as vigorously as the wind and rain.

The river behind the boat actually exploded into a huge ravine, which spread towards the sea-viewing sword cultivator. The sword cultivator saw that the opportunity was not good, and Yufeng raised the altitude, so he had to stay away from the river. He never thought about the graceful figure holding the red tooth plate. The woman gently raised her hand and patted it lightly, and a red tooth plate as big as a mountain fell down from the rain curtain high in the sky. It hit the sword cultivator on the head and slammed it into the river. After the small boat was more than ten miles away, the poor swordsman climbed ashore, turned his back to the sky, panted heavily, and no longer dared to tease the three people in the small boat with words.

Because it was raining, Sui Jingcheng sat in the waterside pavilion. After hesitating for a moment, she still did not take off the power fence. She turned to look at the picture of a wild fisherman on the river. As for the battle between gods, it had experienced two life and death incidents. Sui Jingcheng actually didn't have much ups and downs in his mind.

Chen Ping'an just glanced at the river and then looked away. Anyway, it was very far away from Luzhou in the north. If this were in Aquarius Continent or Tongye Continent, the sword cultivator would not take action, and even if he did, the fisherman would not return the flying sword.

Qi Jinglong didn't look away for a long time, perhaps waiting quietly for the rain to stop before saying goodbye.

Chen Pingan asked: "Mr. Liu is a sword cultivator, but he is so thoughtful about human affairs. Will he not delay his practice?"

Qi Jinglong nodded and said: "Of course. This is the difference between me and the first two people. I have similar qualifications to them. Although there is a gap in opportunity, in the final analysis, I still lost because of distraction. One of them once persuaded I, stop thinking about things at the bottom of the mountain, practice swordplay with peace of mind, and wait until I reach the upper five realms to think about it again."

Chen Pingan smiled and said: "Today's gain and loss may be tomorrow's loss."

Qi Jinglong smiled and nodded: "I'll lend you some good words."

Chen Ping'an asked sternly: "Mr. Liu thinks about these external things, is it because of his own feelings?"

Qi Jinglong nodded and said: "I come from a mediocre background, just a well-off family in the market, but I have liked reading miscellaneous books since I was a child. After I went to the mountains, my habits were hard to change. On the way to practice, I was very lonely, so I had to find something to do. And as a Taoist, There are some advantages, such as my memory has become better, and I don’t have to worry about buying books. Every time I travel down the mountain, I will buy some classics on the way back.”

Chen Pingan asked: "Does Mr. Liu have any conclusive conclusions about the good and evil of people's hearts?"

Qi Jinglong smiled and said, "Not yet. If you want to understand the good and evil in people's hearts, if there is a boundary between good and evil at the beginning, it will be easy to get confused yourself, and it will be difficult to be righteous and peaceful in the subsequent knowledge."

Chen Ping'an sighed: "Yes, if it is mixed with personal emotions, it will be biased."

Qi Jinglong said: "As knowledge grows, this bias, like a stream at its source, may eventually turn into a big stream that flows into the sea."

Chen Ping'an smiled knowingly, "Mr. Liu solved another mystery for me."

Qi Jinglong didn't ask any more questions.

Chen Ping'an stood up and looked at the turbulent river outside the waterside pavilion. The water was rolling eastward, day and night.

This is why Chen Pingan decided to refine the first grade of junior high school.

Of course Gao Cheng is very powerful, he is the kind of strong man who pursues absolute freedom.

Putting aside Gao Cheng's original intention, regardless of his ambition or ambition, there was one thing that Chen Ping'an saw an extremely subtle thread.

In the Cangjun Lake Dragon Palace, Chen Ping'an once served as a sitting god who judged people's good and evil. Therefore, Chen Ping'an was even more sure of one thing, plus he met Yang Ningxing at the Skeleton Beach, a young Taoist from Chongxuan Department's Yunxiao Palace, a scholar who was transformed into a mustard seed and evil thoughts.

Add the two.

Continuously reviewing the chess game, Chen Ping'an became more and more sure of a conclusion, that is, Gao Cheng was far from having the temperament to become the master of a small Fengdu, at least not yet.

Of course Chen Pingan didn't know it himself, but Chen Pingan could roughly see and guess the majestic atmosphere at that height.

The god and the man sit on the corpse, without emotion.

Nowadays, Gao Cheng still has personal likes and dislikes. The Lord of Jingguan City still has resentment in his heart and is still obsessed with me.

Even if these are extremely small, no matter how small they are, as small as a mustard seed, so what? It exists after all. After so many years, it is still deeply rooted in Gao Cheng's mind.

So once Gao Cheng became the master of the entire new little Fengdu, he became the God of the vast world.

This slight deviation in Gao Cheng's state of mind will continue to appear as the scale of Xiao Fengdu expands and Gao Cheng's throne becomes higher and higher. As time goes by and the number of ghosts in Xiaofengdu increases, larger deviations will continue to appear, and even to an infinite deviation.

This is what Qi Jinglong said, the stream becomes a great river.

Maybe Gao Cheng will have the opportunity to correct those minor deviations when he reaches a higher level.

But this is just "maybe".

What's more, the battle between the avenues should have the spirit of the battle between the avenues. If Gao Chengfeng failed in the fight for Feijian at the beginning, and there were no subsequent pursuits and traps, but just showed up and said the last words, Chen Ping'an might really be willing to wait and see, wait until he has gone to Beiju Luzhou, and then do it Decide whether to go to Jingguan City in Skeleton Beach.

Chen Pingan actually feels that there are only two people who have the best chance of accomplishing and doing such a thing well.

Tongyezhou, the old master of the Taoist temple. Not even Zhong Kui, a gentleman, at least not yet.

Aquarius Island, Cui Chan. Not even Cui Dongshan.

The latter two are precisely the people close to Chen Pingan. I really don’t have any favorable impressions of the first two.

This is not helpless.

Either they become friends, or everything is fine. Either they become enemies, or everything is wrong.

Do you want to persuade your friends to make mistakes? Do you want to learn from your enemies' good deeds? It’s all about cultivating the mind, both on the mountain and down the mountain.

As for how to persuade and how to learn, it is more about cultivating one's mind and knowledge. Otherwise, if you persuade someone to turn against you and become an enemy, there is no point in cultivating your mind.

The light rain gradually stopped.

Chen Pingan asked: "Mr. Liu, can you accompany us for a while?"

Qi Jinglong nodded and said, "Of course."

Before leaving the waterside pavilion, Chen Ping'an asked: "So Mr. Liu will not talk about good and evil first, in order to get closer to the essence of good and evil in the end?"

Qi Jinglong smiled and said, "Correct answer."

Chen Pingan used Confucian etiquette to bow to the monk from Luzhou, Beiju whom he met by chance.

Mr. Wen Sheng, if he were here and heard about the truth that this man realized by himself, he would be very happy.

Even if Qi Jinglong is not a disciple of Confucianism.

Qi Jinglong also quickly stood up and bowed in return.

Chen Pingan raised his head and looked at the gentle monk in front of him. Chen Pingan hoped that Cao Qinglang from Lotus Flower Blessed Land could become such a person in the future. He didn't have to be completely similar, just some.

No one has to become someone else, because it is impossible and unnecessary.

Just like Chen Ping'an doesn't want Pei Qian to become himself.

Pei Qian is studying hard in his hometown and growing up slowly. What's wrong with that? What's more, Pei Qian has done better than Chen Ping'an imagined. Pei Qian has been learning the word "rules".

Chen Pingan never felt that Pei Qian was idle and wasting his time.

Afraid of suffering, afraid of pain when practicing boxing? It doesn't matter.

As a master, he has been a martial artist in the five strongest realms in the world, so he will compete for the strongest six realms again!

After the martial arts was obtained, the master gave it to the founding disciple. Didn't Pei Qian study and practice martial arts at the same time?

Sui Jingcheng looked at the somewhat unfamiliar senior.

As a senior and half-guardian, he taught her how to behave and sharpen her knowledge. He would learn from others.

It turns out that the senior prefers the latter.

Sui Jingcheng was a little sad.

The senior who was originally thought to be far away is now a little closer, but in fact, the senior has been running fast on the road of cultivation, but she has been moving slowly.

One day, you won't even be able to see his back.

Even if the two meet again after a long separation, once, twice or three times, what can they talk about when they stand together?

Sui Jingcheng didn't know.

There was still some distance to go from Longtou Ferry, so the three of them walked slowly.

Chen Pingan asked some things about Dazhuan Capital.

Qi Jinglong said: "It seems that the storm is about to come. Ji Yue, the Sword Immortal of Yuanwei Mountain, and the ten-level martial artist who is in charge of the Great Seal Script Martial Arts have not yet fought against each other. Once the fight starts, the momentum will be huge, so this time all the saints of the academy left, We also invited several experts to watch the battle on the sidelines to prevent the two sides from fighting and causing disaster to the people. As for the life and death of both sides, leave him alone."

Chen Ping'an asked: "Is there any big news from the Great Li Dynasty in Aquarius Continent?"

Qi Jinglong sighed, "The Great Li Cavalry continued to move south. There were some backlashes in the rear. Many people with lofty ideals who had destroyed the country were rising up and generously fighting for justice. This is right, and no one can blame it. But many innocent people died, then It's wrong. Although both sides have their reasons, such tragic events are inevitable and always..."

Chen Ping'an said: "I have no choice."

Qi Jinglong hummed.

Qi Jinglong remembered something and said with a smile: "Our Xie Tianjun from Luzhou, Beiju, has accepted three challenges."

Chen Pingan thought for a while, shook his head and said, "It's hard to lose."

Qi Jinglong said: "Indeed, there is no defeat. After all, Qi Tianjun, the god of the Aquarius Continent, is destined not to take action. The three fights were the most eye-catching challenge from the Sword Immortal Wei Jin of Fengxue Temple. Although Wei Jin lost, Such a young sword cultivator will definitely achieve very, very high achievements in the future! But I heard that he has already gone to Daoxuan Mountain and will practice swordsmanship at the Great Wall of Sword Qi. So I think the higher the achievements of such a sword cultivator, the more powerful he will be. Good thing."

Chen Pingan smiled.

Qi Jinglong asked curiously: "Have you seen it?"

Chen Ping'an said: "I met him once."

At that time, Wei Jin looked at Chen Ping'an with very indifferent eyes.

But Chen Pingan still felt that he was a good man and a swordsman. After so many years, he understood the power of Wei Jin better.

Qi Jinglong was silent for a moment, "By the way, there is another major event. Except for Piyun Mountain, all the other four mountains in Dali have been sealed."

Chen Pingan's heart moved.

Refining the natal objects belonging to the five elements.

Cui Dongshan carried a small hoe and dug out five large bags of five-color soil from Dali Mountain.

The accumulated soil forms mountains and wind and rain bring prosperity. Once the refining is successful, a great pattern of mountains and rivers interdependent can be created.

Many choices on the road of life will change.

Just like the matter of refining the five-color soil of Dali Mountain, Chen Pingan was the first to give up. Later, after two heart-to-heart talks with Cui Dongshan and Cui Han, Chen Pingan became extremely determined. Even though he met the vicious woman who had transformed from Empress Dali to Empress Dowager Dali on the intercontinental ferry to Luzhou in Beiju, Chen Ping'an still did not change his mind.

So now Chen Pingan has two choices in front of him. One is to take the Longtou ferry and escort Sui Jingcheng to the Pima Sect on the Skeleton Beach to refine the five-color soil there. Stable but time-consuming.

One is to find a spiritually energetic Xianjia Inn near Longtoudu so as not to delay the trip to Dadu, or take a slight detour to a secluded mountain and swamp for retreat.

Qi Jinglong seemed to notice the change in Chen Ping'an's mind. He hesitated and said with a smile: "I came down the mountain just to chat with you. After chatting, I had nothing to do."

Some people help others but think more.

Chen Pingan is not like this.

The knowledge is similar and the people are similar.

This is a kindred spirit.

So Chen Pingan changed his cautious attitude and asked: "If I want to refine a natal object at Longtoudu and I need someone to help me hold the line and guard the pass, will Mr. Liu be willing?"

Qi Jinglong smiled and said, "Okay."

Chen Pingan added: "Maybe there was a lot of movement during the refining process. And I have some enemies in Beiju Luzhou, such as the Jinlin Palace of the Great Seal Dynasty."

Qi Jinglong said: "It's a small matter."

Chen Pingan slapped Qi Jinglong on the shoulder, "It's a pity that people like you don't like to drink."

Qi Jinglong said helplessly: "Persuading someone to drink alcohol is a very harmful thing to one's character."

Chen Ping'an couldn't help but laugh and said: "In the future, you should have a good conversation with an old gentleman about this. Well, if there is a chance, there will also be a swordsman."

Qi Jinglong shook his head.

When we arrived at Longtou Ferry, we stayed at an aura-filled Xianjia Inn with a "Kingfisher" plaque hanging on it.

Chen Ping'an was rarely generous, so he directly asked the inn for a sky-high mansion. There was even a lotus pond. The water from the lotus leaves was as big as a plate. After the rain, there were still lotus dews like white beads. The breeze brought fragrance, and it felt relaxed and happy.

Every time Qi Jinglong travels down the mountain, he will use a pseudonym to create a genealogy. When he goes to busy places, he will also use deception methods.

At that moment, Qi Jinglong moved a bench and sat by the lotus pond. Sui Jingcheng also followed suit, picked up the power fence, moved a bench, held a hiking stick, sat not far away, and started breathing.

There is a small boat tied to the pond.

Qi Jinglong just stared at the lotus pond quietly, making fists with his hands and placing them on his knees.

Chen Pingan has begun to retreat.

Qi Jinglong is a Nascent Soul monk and a Genealogy Immortal Master. In addition to studying and understanding principles, Qi Jinglong practices in the mountains. The so-called distraction is just a comparison between the first two.

Qi Jinglong actually learned a lot of things, but he was proficient in everything. At that time, he could make Yang Ningzhen of Chongxuan Department Yunxiao Palace unable to break the formation just by drawing a formation at random. You must know that Yang Ningzhen's level of magic at that time was beyond the same level. Because of his younger brother Yang Ningxing, who was born with Taoism, Yang Ningzhen turned to martial arts in a fit of anger. At the same time, he gave up the inheritance rights of Chongxuan Department Yunxiao Palace. However, he actually gave Yang Ningzhen a great future in martial arts, which was a blessing in disguise.

Therefore, Qi Jinglong is the most familiar with the matter of seclusion.

No matter how big Chen Ping'an's movement is or how ripples of energy stir, he can't escape from this house at all.

Because Qi Jinglong is a sword cultivator.

There are signs of rain again, but this time it's expected to be a heavy downpour.

Sui Jingcheng was a little uneasy, interrupted his breathing, and let out a breath of turbid air, frowning.

Qi Jinglong pretended not to know.

Sui Jingcheng murmured: "I heard a local proverb from my predecessors, the rain in a small summer is like silver, and the rain in a big summer is like gold."

Sui Jingcheng said to himself: "I think this kind of thing must be said by scholars, and it must be the kind of people who are not very good at studying and not very good at being an official."

Qi Jinglong then said: "It makes sense."

Sui Jingcheng stood up, leaned his hiking stick against the bench, squatted by the lotus pond, and asked, "Can I pick the lotus leaves in the pond at will?"

Qi Jinglong nodded and said: "After paying so much snow to live here, picking a few lotus leaves is not a problem, but the spiritual energy contained in the lotus leaves is thin, and you will not be able to keep them after you pick them."

Sui Jingcheng picked off a lotus leaf by the water, sat back on the bench, and twisted it gently, causing raindrops to splash in all directions.

Qi Jinglong said: "Mr. Chen is already established, so the refining matter should not be a big problem."

Sui Jingcheng turned around and asked, "Are you really foolproof?"

Qi Jinglong was helpless. How should he answer such words?

Sui Jingcheng turned his head and asked softly: "Senior, is he really that young?"

Qi Jinglong looked into the distance and said with a smile: "The real age is naturally young, but the age of the mind is no longer young. There are all kinds of strange things in the world, and among them, the Cave Heaven Paradise is the strangest. The years are long and slow, and they are not like the human world, but more like the human world. So. That Mr. Chen said he was 300 years old was not entirely a lie."

Heavy rain is coming.

Sui Jingcheng went to get the power fence and coir raincoat, and then he just sat by the pond and soaked in the rain.

As for Qi Jinglong - there is no need to operate the qi machine at all, and heavy rain will not invade.

The heart of the sword moved slightly, because the sword intention affected the sword energy.

Raindrops the size of soybeans hit the lotus leaf on Sui Jingcheng's bench, making a crackling sound.

Sui Jingcheng's eyes suddenly widened and he vaguely saw a pair of splendid mandarin ducks hiding from the rain under the lotus leaves in the lotus pond in the distance.

Sui Jingcheng's mood suddenly improved.

Qi Jinglong smiled and said: "That is a kind of spiritual bird sold in the Jiamu Mountains of Chunlu Pu. It is not an ordinary mandarin duck. It has a wild and unruly temperament. It is kept in the mountains and swamps. It can protect the precious fish in the pond from being snatched away by strange beasts in the mountains and swamps."

It ruins the scenery.

Sui Jingcheng's mood suddenly became bad.

Although Qi Jinglong was puzzled and didn't know where he provoked her, he also knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he stopped talking.

Late at night, Sui Jingcheng had returned to his room, but the lights were on all night.

Qi Jinglong has been sitting on the bench by the water, motionless.

Occasionally, ripples of energy overflowed, but they were shattered by the sword energy and returned to heaven and earth.

As for the many treasures and visions that Chen Ping'an took out of the furnace and brought out the treasures of heaven and earth, Qi Jinglong would naturally not allow anyone to spy on them with his spiritual consciousness.

For those who practice Taoism, refining their natal objects is a top priority, as their lives are at stake.

At noon the next day, Chen Pingan's face turned pale, he opened the door and walked out of the house.

Qi Jinglong sighed.

Is it such an exaggeration for monks in the lower five realms to refine their natal objects?

Whether it's the appearance of the refining furnace, the rarity of those heavenly materials and earthly treasures, or the difficulty of refining, isn't it too unbelievable?

It's not the Dragon Gate realm bottleneck monks who are attacking the Golden Elixir Earth Immortal.

Qi Jinglong asked with a smile: "Why don't you drink a few sips of wine to calm down the shock?" "

"Slow down for a while before drinking."

Chen Pingan saw an empty bench by the lotus pond and sat there. He turned around and said with a smile, "It's okay. I'm well prepared. I still have two chances."

He picked up a lotus leaf that had been knocked off the bench by the rain.

Qi Jinglong pointed to his heart, "The key is here, don't let anything go wrong, otherwise the so-called two opportunities, no matter how many talents and treasures there are, are all in vain."

Chen Pingan nodded and said: "Of course. That's all I can do."

Qi Jinglong felt relieved when he saw that he was not depressed at all.

Sui Jingcheng walked out of the room, but her place was gone. Chen Pingan moved his position and sat at one end of the bench, and Sui Jingcheng sat at the other end.

Chen Pingan asked: "If you need additional expenses for picking lotus leaves, you must record them in your account."

Sui Jingcheng smiled and said: "Okay, it's just a few snowflakes to spend, just keep accounts."

Chen Pingan turned to look at Qi Jinglong.

Qi Jinglong was indifferent.

You two, please, don't get involved with me.

Chen Pingan had no choice but to explain: "Mr. Liu, you misunderstood."

Qi Jinglong smiled and said, "Okay, just think that I misunderstood."

Chen Pingan sighed, picked up the sword gourd and drank silently.

Chen Pingan remembered something, "The three small boat monks on the river that I saw earlier at the waterside pavilion are very famous in Luzhou, Beiju?"

Qi Jinglong said: "Same as Mr. Jianweng who liked to warm up flying swords, he is one of the top ten eccentrics in Luzhou, Beiju. This man likes music and has collected many musical instruments and magic weapons. He has an eccentric temper and wanders around. Uncertain. The celebrations of many sects in Luzhou, Beiju, such as the opening ceremony, or the success of a great monk breaking through the realm, are all considered a blessing to be able to invite more than a dozen masters and disciples to play music at the banquet. The latest master-disciple ceremony We gathered together at the invitation of the youngest sect leader in the history of our Beiju Luzhou, and appeared on the back of a green cliff in a small cave of the Qingliang Sect."

Chen Pingan nodded.

After about a stick of incense, Chen Pingan returned to the house without saying a word.

Sui Jingcheng did nothing and continued to twist the still green lotus leaf.

Qi Jinglong said: "Do you mind if I say something related to your Taoist practice? I didn't mean to check it. In fact, your breathing and Qi movement made me feel familiar."

Sui Jingcheng shook his head and said, "I don't mind."

But she turned her head, glanced at the room over there, and said softly: "Mr. Liu, please tell me."

Qi Jinglong smiled and said: "The breathing method you practice is very similar to that of Master Taixia Yuanjun and Immortal Master Li Yu, who are direct disciples of Zhenren Huolong."

Sui Jingcheng said doubtfully: "Mr. Liu, wait a moment, although I don't know many rules on the mountain, but after following the seniors all the way, I also know that the Taoist real person is not as good as an earthly immortal, but Yuan Jun is at least in the upper five realms. The Jade Pu Realm. Is that Immortal Master Li Yu’s qualifications so good that he is better than his master and is already much better than his master?”

Qi Jinglong smiled and shook his head and said: "This is an interesting story on our mountain in Luzhou, Beiju. The real Fire Dragon is a Celestial Master with a foreign surname from Longhu Mountain in the Divine Continent of Middle Earth. There are some rumors...forget it, it's not easy to talk nonsense about this, I'll just Let’s not mention it. Anyway, this old immortal has a very high realm, very high, but he has always maintained the title of real person. Moreover, it is said that he likes to sleep, practice and enlightenment in his dreams, which is more and more mysterious. And Li Yu is the direct disciple of Huolong Zhenren One, because the old immortal accepts disciples very casually, regardless of qualifications or basic skills. Anyway, he will bring one or two people back every time he goes down the mountain. Even some old friends who are sent to the mountain will be accepted as disciples, so that There are as many as forty or fifty direct disciples listed on the genealogy of the Ancestral Master Hall. Over the long years, some have been promoted to Taoist Yuanjun like Immortal Master Li Yu, but most of them still died in various bottlenecks, from the cave realm to the There are quite a few in the Nascent Soul Realm. Now there are more than twenty direct descendants on the mountain who continue to practice. Therefore, monks of the same generation have great differences in age and realm. However, this Taixia Yuanjun has been in seclusion for many years, but her lineage has opened Zhi Sanye has the most disciples on the mountain, and there are already more than a hundred disciples in the three generations after her."

Sui Jingcheng's face changed slightly.

The elders once said that the seal characters of the three golden hairpins include "Taixia slave ghost"!

Sui Jingcheng quickly calmed down.

The war between heaven and man began in my heart.

Qi Jinglong turned his head and glanced at Sui Jingcheng, with complicated eyes. Forget it, some things should be seen through but not revealed. Whatever the final result is, Mr. Chen will still have a headache.

The foundation of Sui Jingcheng's Dao is actually not that simple. He must be the disciple of Taixia Yuanjun Li Yu, the immortal master. It can even be said that the possibility is both high and extremely small, because Li Yu had already He has recruited a retreating disciple with excellent foundation. Although he is less than forty years old now, he is a candidate for the next ten young people from Luzhou, Beiju.

The monks on the mountain, the higher they are on the mountain, the more they are never careless and ambiguous about the status of master and disciple.

Moreover, there is a hidden mystery about Sui Jingcheng. It has not yet been revealed that Mr. Chen is not a real Earth Immortal Sword Cultivator. But that's not necessarily a bad thing.

In any case, relying on the faint sword intention on Sui Jingcheng's body, Qi Jinglong roughly guessed some clues. This kind of practice method was too dangerous and would be a bit troublesome. If it is not handled properly, it will affect the foundation of the road.

Qi Jinglong could even follow this thread and the complicated relationships between some great monks in Luzhou, Beiju, to draw more conclusions.

However, many things on the mountain are unknown.

As for Gu Mo, Yuanjun's young disciple, Qi Jinglong had met her once during his travels. She was indeed very qualified, but her temper was not very good.

Taixia lineage has always been like this.

Go down the mountain to slay demons and eliminate demons. You will not be afraid of anything.

As long as they are reasonable, even if they are facing monks who are two or three levels higher, all heavenly masters with other surnames including Taixia's lineage will still use their swords.

In history, there have been earthly immortal monks and even upper-level sword immortals who casually killed those ignorant Taoist monks with a single sword. Most of them thought that they were silent, but without exception, most of them were killed by Taixia Yuanjun or Taixia Yuanjun. Her senior brothers came and beat him to death. If there was a big monk on the mountain who could even block and repel them, it didn't matter. In the history of this thousand years, Huolong Zhenren came down the mountain twice and killed him casually once. He killed a Twelve-level military monk, and killed a Twelve-level swordsman who thought he could protect himself with one strike. From the beginning to the end, the old master was unscathed, and even a mountain top that should have changed the color of the world. Fighting without any disturbance.

The sun and moon alternate, day and night alternate.

When Chen Pingan walked out of the house for the second time, Sui Jingcheng immediately followed him out of his house.

Qi Jinglong didn't speak this time.

Chen Ping'an was still sitting on the bench. The lotus leaf placed on the bench had shown some signs of withering after the spiritual energy was lost, and the color was no longer so moist and plump.

Sui Jingcheng did not sit on the bench, but stood not far away.

Slim and graceful like a hibiscus.

Chen Ping'an drank wine while holding the sword gourd and said with a smile: "Don't worry."

Qi Jinglong smiled and said: "You are not worried, so what should I be worried about?"

Chen Pingan turned around and said, "Sorry to trouble you."

Qi Jinglong's answer was concise and to the point, "You're welcome."

Chen Pingan asked: "Mr. Liu, do you have your own understanding of what Buddhism calls surrendering the mind?"

Qi Jinglong shook his head, "It's superficial and not worth mentioning. I'll talk to you later if I think of something far away."

Chen Pingan said: "I once met an eminent monk, so I have some ideas. Let's chat casually?"

Qi Jinglong smiled and said: "This is the best."

Chen Pingan stood up, stretched out a palm, and his fingers were like hooks, motionless, as if restraining something, "Does this count as surrender?"

Qi Jinglong thought deeply for a moment and shook his head, "If it was like this in the beginning, it is definitely not the case. If it is the final result, it is not considered satisfactory."

Chen Pingan nodded, then squatted down, pressed his fingers against the bluestone floor beside the lotus pond, casually drew two very light traces, and then drew veins in all directions.

Finally, I stretched out my palm and wiped it all, but it was not smoothed out, leaving intermittent and small lines of scratches.

Qi Jinglong asked: "Is this our state of mind? We are running around in different directions, seemingly returning to the original place of our hearts, but if we are not careful, there are actually some traces of our thoughts that have not been wiped clean?"

Chen Ping'an didn't say anything. He went to the pool and picked up a small handful of water with his right hand. He stood near the center of the circle. With his other left hand, he gently twisted out a drop of water and dropped it to the center of the circle.

Qi Jinglong looked intently.

Kneel down again and wipe it gently with one hand.

There seems to be no water stains on the bluestone floor, but among the fine marks, there are still slender water paths, spreading in all directions, with different lengths and different distances.

Chen Pingan turned his head and said with a smile: "Mr. Liu is right."

Qi Jinglong thought for a while, "But when a horse tramples by, will it definitely leave traces? Instead of heavy snow footprints, which will completely melt after exposure to the sun as soon as the sun rises?"

Then both of them fell into deep thought.

Sui Jingcheng squatted near Chen Pingan, eyes wide open, trying to see something.

Otherwise, it would be very shameful to be like this all the time, wouldn't it?

When she looked up.

She noticed that her senior glanced at her.

She sat on the bench and acted like she "should know it all".

Chen Pingan slapped his head, dropped the water in his palm, twisted his wrist, and found the blue paper Buddhist scripture in his hand. He stood up and handed it to Qi Jinglong, "I don't know Sanskrit. Can you tell me which Buddhist scripture it is from?"

After Qi Jinglong took the page of Buddhist scriptures, he smiled and said: "Chapter? This is a complete Buddhist scripture."

Chen Pingan was stunned for a moment and sat aside.

Qi Jinglong thought for a while, "I will tell you more about the content. From now on, you can go to the temple as you please and ask the monks yourself. Remember to keep it."

Chen Pingan put away that page...that Buddhist scripture.

Chen Ping'an suddenly laughed, "It's okay, even if you don't recognize the Buddhist scriptures, you can still copy them and meditate."

Qi Jinglong nodded.

Chen Pingan stood up and was about to go to the house to copy the book.

Sui Jingcheng stopped talking.

Chen Pingan said: "It's okay."

Sui Jingcheng's eyes were red.

Chen Ping'an said seriously: "Don't think that you can default on your debt."

Sui Jingcheng glared at him, twisted his waist and sat on the bench.

Qi Jinglong kept looking forward and blinked, thinking that Mr. Chen was a master.

Couldn't he also ask for advice?

After all, the looks in the eyes of many female monks inside and outside the sect, up and down the mountain, made Qi Jinglong feel a little guilty.

This is the trouble with being reasonable everywhere.

It will not affect the cultivation of the avenue and the clarity of the sword's heart, but after all, it is because of many regrettable things that happened to me. He is fine, but they are. not too good.

After Chen Ping'an finished copying the scriptures that day, he continued to retreat and started to light a fire for the Wucai Jingui stove.

The last time to refine the five-color soil of the Dali Mountain.

It's night time.

Qi Jinglong closed his eyes and rested his mind.

Sui Jingcheng was in a daze.

Qi Jinglong opened his eyes, turned around and shouted softly: "What's the point of being distracted? The key to the road is that it doesn't matter if you trust others once. Is it okay to be alone every time?!"

The slightly chaotic ripples on the other side of the house returned to calm.

Sui Jingcheng was a little panicked, "An enemy is coming? Is it the Immortal of the Golden Scale Palace?"

Qi Jinglong shook his head but didn't say much.

A white rainbow sword light and a wisp of bright clouds swept from the end of the sky, and the sound was enough to alarm the entire Green Eagle Kingdom's Longtou Ferry.

Almost all the monks in the inn took a look, and everyone who was walking in the inn or chatting in the courtyard returned to their houses.

The sword light fell on the other side of the lotus pond, and the gorgeous glow fell on the lotus leaves of the lotus pond.

The female cultivator Gu Mo, a retreating disciple of Taixia Yuanjun Li Yu, is wearing the unique robe of a Celestial Master named outside Longhu Mountain. On the robe, there are bright red rosy clouds embroidered, slowly flowing and overflowing with brilliance.

The robe "Taixia" is one of the famous things of Taixia Yuanjun Li Yu.

The other person was an outstanding Nascent Soul Sword Cultivator, but he was not a Qi practitioner from the mountaintop of Huolong Zhenren.

Sure enough.

Qi Jinglong understood clearly.

The monks on the mountain, especially the female monks, also have their own "boudoir friends".

Taixia Yuanjun is naturally no exception.

Then it can be explained that the female sword fairy from the middle of Beiju Luzhou did not go to Daoxuan Mountain.

We should wait until our friend Li Yu successfully escapes confinement.

After Gu Mo saw Qi Jinglong, he did not recognize the land dragon "Liu Jinglong" due to the difference in realm.

But the Nascent Soul sword cultivator saw through the deception and said with a smile: "Duckweed Sword Lake Rongchang, I have met Mr. Liu."

Duckweed Sword Lake, the owner Li Cai.

Sui Jingcheng looked a little strange. Why did he feel close and familiar to this sword cultivator who called himself Duckweed Sword Lake? She shook her head to disperse the inexplicable ripples of emotion in her heart, moved her steps, and stood increasingly behind Qi Jinglong.

When Rong Chang saw this scene, he couldn't help but laugh and didn't say much. It was reasonable to just turn a blind eye and listen, so as not to add unnecessary extravagance and ruin the truth.

It's just that after Rong Chang reunited with her after a long separation, his heart felt a little heavy.

Originally, "Sui Jingcheng's" Taoism practice would not have had so many twists and turns.

But no one expected that Taixia Yuanjun Li Yu, who had a high chance of success in life and death, and the great monk who had a sworn relationship with the master, had passed away.

So all the way south, as Li Yu's most doted and cherished closed disciple, Gu Mo was in an extremely bad mood. There were several demon caves that had been haunted by monsters for many years. She used her master's thunder method to cause the mountains to collapse and the earth to break apart. One of them had Rong Chang not used his sword. , she would be in a desperate situation, after all, the opponent was a Nascent Soul Realm monster with red eyes. Therefore, Gu Mo, who was seriously injured, still immersed himself in his journey. He first went to Wuling Kingdom, then followed the clues and turned back, and rushed to Longtou Ferry in Green Eagle Kingdom. He couldn't think about recuperating. Rong Chang tried to persuade him twice but to no avail. , had no choice but to give up. After all, Gu Mo was not from his sect.

After learning about the death of Taixia Yuanjun Bingjie, Rong Chang immediately rushed to the Shujian Lake in Aquarius Continent that he had agreed with his master in advance.

Then the master soon sent a flying sword back to Duckweed Sword Lake, asking him to protect the safety of the woman and not allow any more accidents, otherwise he would be questioned.

Rong Chang knew Master Li Cai's temper very well, and this was definitely not an angry comment.

The master's temper is very simple, and there is no need for the entire disciples to guess. For example, Rong Chang has been unable to reach the upper five realms, and Li Cai dislikes him. Every time he sees him, he has to teach him a lesson. Even if Rong Chang was only driving a sword back and forth, if he happened to catch a glimpse of his master during a rare opportunity to enjoy the scenery, he would be struck down with a sword.

It is a big deal after all.

Although Gu Mo was in a very bad mood, he still followed the agreement with Duckweed Jianhu Rongchang and said to the woman: "You are Sui Jingcheng, right? You can be regarded as the registered disciple of my master Taixia Yuanjun. From now on, your cultivation path will... There will be a guardian, that is, I am Gu Mo, but don’t worry, apart from teaching you a sword control technique, you can walk wherever you want, up mountains and rivers, no one can restrain you, and I am no exception. You The bamboo robe on your body will officially belong to you from now on, but among the three golden hairpins, you must take out the 'Taixia Yigui'. The master will have other arrangements in the future, but I will exchange it with you for other magic weapons. , the quality level is quite good, it won’t be bad.”

As for Liu Jinglong, Gu Mo pretended that he didn't see him and didn't recognize him anyway.

It is said that he is a weirdo with a high level of cultivation, excellent talent, and a very famous but special mother-in-law.

Gu Mo didn't want to greet him politely.

Favors?

The only human exchanges in Taixia's lineage are those who have fought side by side with each other. Even if you are only a monk in the lower fifth realm, you can still be a distinguished guest on the mountain. Other than that, you are a monk in the upper fifth realm. What does it have to do with me? ?

Sui Jingcheng was stunned for a moment, gritted his teeth, walked to Qi Jinglong, and asked cautiously: "I want to go to Aquarius Continent, is that okay?"

Gu Mo, who was standing on the lotus leaves, glanced at Rong Chang behind him.

Rong Chang smiled and said: "It's best to stay in Luzhou, Beiju."

Because if nothing else happens, Master Li Cai is already on his way back to Luzhou, Beiju.

Sui Jingcheng quickly took out the three gold hairpins and said, "I can return all three gold hairpins to you. If possible, I want to practice with a senior. I mean if it is possible, but if Taixia Yuanjun doesn't agree, If you still want me to be the registered disciple, can you let me complete the journey to Aquarius Continent? I will return to Beiju Luzhou myself to apologize to Yuanjun..."

Gu Mo said angrily: "Stop talking nonsense!"

Rong Chang was also a little embarrassed.

There was nothing wrong with this woman's words, but they just struck a chord in Gu Mo's heart.

The death of a Yuanjun Bingli was a great misfortune for any sect's Immortal family, not to mention that Gu Mo was Li Yu's direct disciple.

Qi Jinglong sighed in his heart, guessing that there must be a big problem with Taixia Yuanjun.

But Qi Jinglong still said calmly: "Speak well if you have anything to say."

Gu Mo's face was as frosty as he stared at Qi Jinglong, "As an outsider, do you have the right to interrupt?!"

Qi Jinglong looked as usual and said: "I have a friend who is currently refining the natal item. He is in a critical period. Miss Gu and Rong Jianxian should both know it. Can we sit down and chat slowly?"

Sui Jingcheng nodded vigorously, still maintaining the gesture of holding out one hand. She spread her palms and placed the three gold hairpins.

Rong Chang suddenly frowned.

Don’t let this happen!

It is a mountain pass that seems to be the least dangerous but the most disconnected.

Taixia Yuanjun's failure to retreat actually affected the woman's cultivation opportunities to a certain extent. If the woman in front of her was in trouble again, it would simply make the trouble worse.

If this is the case, then Rong Chang cannot stand idly by.

Some ripples in the lake of the heart can be suppressed in the early stage, but once the passion is allowed to flourish, like the pond at your feet turning into a field of lotus leaves, how can you cut it off? If it is cut off, won't it damage the foundation of the avenue?

Qi Jinglong sighed and said softly: "The road is difficult to travel, and haste makes waste. Shouldn't we think more slowly? Just wait a moment, don't you think I'm embarrassing you?"

Gu Mo sneered: "An hour, or half a day?"

Qi Jinglong frowned, but still said in a friendly manner: "I beg you two to wait until my friend successfully refines it. Then the three of you can discuss it. The person who tied the bell must also be tied to untie the bell. Maybe it will be better than our hasty decision now." village."

Rong Chang felt that Qi Jinglong's words were correct.

But the tricky thing is that to untie the bell, the person who tied the bell must also be tied. This is true. If the person does not know what is good, the person who ties the bell is unwilling to untie the bell, but instead provokes it with a little words. In the woman's current state of mind, it is tantamount to being beaten again. Pull on the rope and the bell will only become more difficult to solve.

So Rongchang was very embarrassed.

Gu Mo sneered and said: "Why do you think you are justified just because you are from a famous fairy family and have high cultivation level? I just don't understand. Why are you, an outsider, dictating here? Don't you feel ashamed? Panic?"

Qi Jinglong shook his head and said: "Now we are in a dilemma. If you are really thinking about Sui Jingcheng's career, shouldn't you listen to her voice? How can you be sure that your good intentions will not cause bad things? The matter has come to this, and there are many hidden dangers that cannot be escaped or avoided. I believe that when my friend walks out of the house, he will listen to your reasons. If it is finally found that Miss Sui’s reasons are too small, I, Qi Jinglong, The truth is too biased, that’s the best. If it’s not right, we can also discuss a countermeasure. Only when the three parties figure out these connections can we truly untie the knot..."

Gu Mo said angrily: "Liu Jinglong, are you bothered or not?! Do you need your advice here on such a small matter? She handed over the golden hairpin and left Longtoudu with us. Except for Aquarius Island, she wanted to go to Bei Where can’t we do it in Ju Luzhou?”

Sui Jingcheng turned his head and looked at the other side of the room, took a deep breath, and said, "I'll just leave with you."

Qi Jinglong suddenly turned his head and smiled: "Are you worried about hurting Mr. Chen? Or have you really changed your mind?"

Sui Jingcheng was about to cry, tightly clenching the three gold hairpins in his hands.

Qi Jinglong nodded and asked: "Then if I say that as long as I, Qi Jinglong, stand here, your seniors can rest assured to refine the natal objects, what is your decision? This time I can give you a conclusive answer, I can guarantee that what happens inside Mr. Chen's house is his own work. Whether it succeeds or fails, I don't dare to say anything. But what happens outside the house tonight, I'm here, so it's absolutely foolproof."

Sui Jingcheng's eyes were filled with tears, "Even if I really have to leave, I still have to say goodbye to my seniors, but I'm still afraid..."

Qi Jinglong turned around and said with a smile: "What are you afraid of? Do you think that the principles between Mr. Chen and Mr. Liu really cannot be used as food?"

Sui Jingcheng looked panicked.

Qi Jinglong shook his head, "It's for the sake of doing something."

Qi Jinglong looked at Gu Mo who was extremely angry and smiled, "I know that Miss Gu is not an unreasonable person, but she is now unstable in Taoism, so she behaves like this."

Qi Jinglong turned to look at the Nascent Soul Sword Cultivator at Duckweed Sword Lake, "I also know that Rong Jianxian has concerns and good intentions."

Gu Mo sneered and said, "Hey, is there a 'but' coming?!"

Qi Jinglong smiled and shook his head, "As I stand here, it's just the 'but'. I don't need to say it."

Rong Chang thought for a while, "How about just asking for a sword?"

Qi Jinglong nodded, then stopped looking at Rong Chang, turned his gaze directly to Gu Mo, and said expressionlessly: "It's your turn now."

Gu Mo was horrified and suddenly turned his head to look.

Rong Chang remained motionless and said with a wry smile: "In the battle at Lishan Mountain, you both stopped fighting as expected."

This Duckweed Sword Tomb Nascent Soul Sword Cultivator, at this moment, seems to be in a small world.

That small world was built with countless pure sword intentions.

Qi Jinglong's natal flying sword is called "Rules", and its name comes from the classics of a former Confucian saint. But almost no one in Beiju Luzhou knew what kind of magical power such a flying sword with a weird name had.

Gu Mo gritted his teeth, his face turned white, and his hands began to tremble.

Qi Jinglong shouted softly: "Calm your energy calmly, calm your mind and concentrate your energy, don't act rashly!"

Gu Moru was beaten by the stick, took a deep breath, and then calmed down, looking at the blue-shirted sword cultivator with very complicated eyes.

At this moment, a young man wearing the same blue shirt as Qi Jinglong walked out of the room, "I'm sorry for keeping you two waiting for so long."
