Sword of Coming

Two Taoist priests, one old and one young, spent two snowflakes at one end of the long bridge and took two Xianjia orange tree cards.

Zhang Shanfeng asked softly: "Master, does your blindness work? Why do I feel that there are still many people watching us? Besides, we are from Lidifeng, and it is not a shameful thing. I went out to travel , but no one saw that I was from Padi Peak, and even mistook me for Taoshan and Zhixuan's senior brothers. According to my master, I only said that I was a foreign surname of Zhongtu Longhushan Celestial Master, no one will believe it."

Huolong Daoist smiled and said: "It must be that your brothers are not famous."

Zhang Shanfeng sighed, "I think the brothers are all quite high in Taoism."

Master Huolong smiled and said: "Every time you go up the mountain slowly and go down the mountain awkwardly, can you see that the senior brother is a master?"

Zhang Shanfeng nodded vigorously, and said in a low voice: "I've heard from the nephews on the mountain several times that senior brothers and sisters who can run out to open the peak by themselves have a frighteningly high realm."

Daoist Huolong smiled and asked, "Why are you so tall?"

Zhang Shanfeng shook his head, "It's not sure, some say it's a Jindan Earth Immortal, and some say it must be a Dragon Gate Realm Immortal."

Speaking of this, Zhang Shanfeng said solemnly: "Master, although we are not allowed to talk about the realm casually in Lidifeng, the masters and nephews are young after all, and these small chats are caused by innocence. Master is not allowed to go online. Catch people and get angry after I go back, otherwise how can I practice in Lidi Peak in the future, wouldn't I have to scold me, my little uncle, as an elder who chews his tongue indiscriminately?"

Huolong real person nodded with a smile.

Zhang Shanfeng was still not at ease, "Master, you have to tell me something right, otherwise I feel uneasy."

Zhang Shanfeng couldn't help being nervous, as long as he can remember, he only saw the old master lose his temper once.

A senior brother who was able to leave the mountain to climb the mountain alone once had a dispute with another senior brother who stayed on the mountain to practice for some reason. Maybe it was because the reason was not clear, so they talked about the level of the realm.

In fact, the senior brother who was mentioned did not think that it was words that needed to be taken care of. He never thought that the master, who had been sleeping soundly for two or three years, shook the snow from the snowdrift on the top of the peak for the first time, and then disappeared in a flash. Lie Difeng.

At that time, Zhang Shanfeng, who was still a small child, was busy playing snowball fights with several young Taoist boys of the same age. As a result, they all looked at each other in blank dismay, and then continued to play snowball fights. The presence or absence of the master did not prevent them from playing, after all, they were lying on the ground. Feng, it's rare for snow to happen. Only when Master is asleep, can we meet. It's really happier than New Year's Eve.

Later Zhang Shanfeng heard that the senior who just said a wrong sentence was expelled from the school that day. That senior knelt for a whole month and kowtowed for a full month at the edge of the boundary of Lidi Peak. Master None of them changed their minds. The rest of the senior brothers all walked up the Padi Peak, but they didn't dare to speak, they just stood on the Padi Peak, as if they made a mistake, and they were no less than the brother from the same sect.

Probably due to his young age, Zhang Shanfeng was the only disciple who dared to ask about this at that time, because he was very curious about why the master was so angry.

At that time, the master only said a few words to Zhang Shanfeng after all the disciples had left the Padi Peak.

"There are no so-called unintentional words in the world, only intentional words that are accidentally spoken."

"It doesn't matter to the people at the bottom of the mountain. The people on the mountain are very terrible. They either take the lives of the cultivators themselves, or they take the lives of more ordinary masters at the bottom of the mountain."

Zhang Shanfeng still wanted to intercede for that senior brother, but Huolong Daoist just shook his head, touched the little Taoist priest's head lightly, and said that's it, since your senior brother has reached the end of the road in the mountain, why not go outside the mountain to practice. Cultivate your mind.

At this moment on the long bridge, the old real person had no choice but to promise himself: "Okay, master will pretend that he has never heard of this."

Walking on the long bridge, Zhang Shanfeng noticed a bright-eyed boy in yellow clothes standing not far away in a daze, as if he was looking at the master and apprentice, then the boy turned his head and ran away, disappearing in a flash.

Zhang Shanfeng wondered, "Master, is this?"

Huolong Daoist laughed and said, "I've seen it before, and I've dealt with it before."

Over there, Li Yuan was in a cold sweat, running wildly. I have seen your uncle before, I am dignified to help Du Shuizheng, but you used the water method to suppress him at the bottom of Dadu Shui for a full month.

Huolong Daoist frowned and turned his head to look.

It was Sun Jie, the suzerain who also used blindfolding techniques.

Sun Jie bit the bullet and walked forward quickly, there was nothing he could do. If the old man was just passing by the Water Dragon Sect, since his grandson got the order, it would be fine if he didn't show up, but the old man would obviously go to the Dragon Palace, if his grandson If Jie still stayed at the Patriarch's Hall, it was out of courtesy, even if the old master reprimanded him face to face, it would be better than losing his etiquette at the Water Dragon School.

Although Huolong Daoist was not very happy to socialize, but at least the other party was the master of the sect, so he did not slap the smiling face, so he said: "The poor Taoist is just here to visit with his disciples."

At the same time, he told Sun Jie plainly in his heartfelt words, "Sect Master Sun, this disciple of mine doesn't know much about the affairs of the mountain, please cover up one or two things."

Sun Jie immediately understood, slapped his head, and said with a smile: "I've seen a real person."

Huolong real person nodded with a smile.

Zhang Shanfeng was at a loss, he didn't even know how to address the other party respectfully, so he had to return the other party's head, "Junior Zhang Shanfeng, I have met senior."

Sun Jie quickly returned the gift.

The direct disciple of Daoist Huolong deserves a single gift from him, the suzerain of the Water Dragon Sect.

This made Zhang Shanfeng a little flustered, so he had to give him a respectful slap in the face.

Huolong Daoist was a little helpless.

Sun Jie himself also felt that something was wrong, so he stopped the red tape and just said that he would accompany the real person on a journey.

Every time Huolong Daoist travels down the mountain, he always walks alone, and there is almost no saying that he follows his disciples by his side. Whether it is the Taixia Yuanjun who unfortunately passed away, or the disciples of Taoshan and Zhixuan who started the mountain, even if they are all masters of Taoism, but it is said that they have never followed that old man who likes to sleep, master and apprentice together Travel around. In fact, Zhang Shanfeng’s descent this time was also in the second half of many years later. He traveled all the way south to other continents, and was approached by his master, and then traveled to Zhongtu Shenzhou and Nanbasuozhou together. Before that, even All the way, eating and sleeping in the open, hungry, Zhang Shanfeng was alone, saying that he was forging the way, but in fact he had tasted all the bitterness.

Sun Jie sent Huolong Zhenren and Zhang Shanfeng to the restaurant, and then left.

Zhang Shanfeng chatted with him all the way, probably because he was worried that his master would not socialize, so he had to do it for his disciples.

Just when Sun Jie was about to turn around, Huolong Daoist said: "Over there, Li Yuan, Pindao can help you with a word."

Sun Jiegang was about to salute.

Huolong Daoist waved his hand, "No."

After the polite senior walked away, Zhang Shanfeng whispered, "Master, why don't you talk to him."

Huolong Daoist said with a smile: "It's not a friend, there's nothing to talk about. Friends don't come out of chatting."

Huolong Daoist looked nostalgic, did he have any friends? Of course there are, and there are quite a few, but unfortunately they are all old friends.

After living for too long, it seems that I can only say goodbye to my friends one by one, some can say goodbye in person, and some cannot.

Whether you can or cannot, is actually sad.

This has nothing to do with morality.

Therefore, it is very good for the disciple around me to know Chen Pingan, who likes to reason, and Xu Yuanxia, ​​who likes to write landscape travel notes.

It would be even better if both Zhang Shanfeng and Chen Pingan respected that bearded ranger from the bottom of their hearts.

Like-minded, sharing weal and woe, drinking water is better than drinking wine.

Some fraternal icing on the cake, there are knives hidden in the clusters of flowers.

But some charcoal in the snow are delivered by friends holding coals in their hands. After delivering them, they shake their fists and say goodbye, just talking about small things.

Thirty-four miles away from the gate of "Jidu Summer Resort", Zhang Shanfeng asked, "Master, how did you figure out the location of Chen Ping'an?"

The old man said: "This is a very difficult thing, but he, Chen Pingan, has a lot of ties to you. For example, he got the Celestial Master Seal and the ancient sword you are carrying now. Then the chance to give you a gift gave the master some clues. In addition, Chen Pingan happened to be in Beiju Luzhou, if he was in another continent, it would be even more difficult for the teacher to divination."

In fact, there is another secret matter that Huolong Daoist did not reveal to Zhang Shanfeng. It was in the alley of the village in the southeast of Aquarius Island. When the two met, the old Daoist gave Chen Pingan a gift to help the child. On the road of martial arts in the future, walk a little more steadily. After all, this dispensable love is not something to talk about.

What's more, this disciple feels that his master's Taoism is not high.

Huolong Daoist didn't think there was anything wrong.

Can poor Dao Dao Dao Dao Dao?

No.

That is not high.

When he arrived at the entrance of the Dragon Palace Cave, Zhang Shanfeng felt that the Water Dragon Sect was a bit black-hearted when he heard that he needed to spend two Xiaoshu coins.

Gritting his teeth, Zhang Shanfeng fumbled out two Xiaoshu coins from his sleeve, and handed them to the Water Dragon Sect monk guarding the city gate.

When passing through the city gate, Zhang Shanfeng touched the nails inlaid on the red lacquered gate, and he did not forget to turn his head and said to the old man: "Master, do you want to touch it too? Chen Pingan talked about many rural customs back then. Getting rid of all kinds of diseases on the head, walking through the city gate and touching the doornails can drive away the filth and bad luck."

Master Huolong smiled and shook his head, "It's fine as a teacher."

Zhang Shanfeng passed through the city gate, saw the 9,999 steps of white jade steps, and immediately said with emotion: "It's magnificent, it's really magnificent, it's worthy of being an immortal family with the prefix Zong!"

There is only one winding path up the mountain in my home, and the road is overgrown with weeds, but there are many wild fruits. Before Zhang Shanfeng went down the mountain to travel, he often took a large group of trail boys to search the mountain, and returned with full rewards.

When he reached the top of the mountain and saw the sixteen dragon walls under his feet, Zhang Shanfeng felt more and more that the Water Dragon School was rich and powerful, and when he thought of the immortal demeanor of this Water Dragon School, he was a little happy because of the contribution of his two Xiaoshu coins.

Huolong Daoist asked with a smile: "Do you still feel that the golden nest and the silver nest are still not as good as your own grass nest?"

Zhang Shanfeng nodded and said: "That's not true. After seeing Chen Ping'an, go home!"

Sixteen snow-white flood dragons soared through the clouds and fog, crashed into the sea of ​​clouds, and went to the cave of the Dragon Palace.

————

Inside Fumizushima's house.

Chen Pingan began to close his eyes and meditate. After thinking for a long time, he took out his pen and ink, spread out the paper, and began to write with a pen.

The name Lotus Root Blessed Land is not bad, just name it like that.

After the gap is filled, this piece of blessed land will be upgraded to a medium-blessed land. Those who choose the site of the temple of the gods and gods in the future can continue to secretly survey and choose the treasured land of geomantic omen, but Luopo Mountain is not in a hurry to sign any contract with the emperor of Nanyuan Kingdom, and wait for him to return. Let's talk about Luoposhan, when the time comes, he will go there in person. Before that, no matter how good the conditions are given by the emperor, Zhu Lian, you will delay first.

It is a great joy for Wei Bo to break through the realm. On Luopi Mountain, people need to prepare a congratulatory gift. For him, Chen Ping'an must be a magic treasure on the mountain. It can be temporarily borrowed from Zhenjingzong Jiang Shangzhen. If it feels appropriate, he can even agree to serve as a named enshrinement in Luoba Mountain under the identity of Yuanying and the alias of Zhou Fei, on the condition that he has an extra magic weapon. For the other congratulatory gifts of Pei Qian and his juniors, it doesn't matter if the gift is lighter, for example, you can ask Pei Qian to copy a festive couplet. Of course, it would be better if Pei Qian had more thoughtful thoughts.

On Liu Chongrun's side, Zhu Lian can call on Lu Baixiang to dig out the water palace and the dragon boat secretly together. This is the best result, but before doing this, he must first say hello to Cui Dongshan and wait for his definite reply. Only then can we leave Dali. If Cui Dongshan thinks that this matter is not good, then he will directly reject Liu Chongrun. Not only that, but also remind her to give up on this matter, to speak seriously, and it does not matter. Since the two parties have become long-term neighbors on the mountain, there are some harsh words of truth It is one thing whether the other party listens or not, but it is another matter whether you speak or not.

At this point in writing the letter, Chen Pingan stopped writing for a while before continuing to write.

If Liu Chongrun insists on taking risks, Luopishan will take back the lease on the back of the gnatfish, and the consequences and compensation for breaking the contract will be as much as Luopishan should bear.

Instead of being troubled by the monks of Zhuchai Island in the future, and being affected by that innocent disaster, it is better to get rid of the relationship as soon as possible. Luopo Mountain wants to operate in the long run, and the water will flow for a long time. There are some trade-offs, so there must be one. Rather than doomed to have even greater enemies and mutual resentment in the future, it is better to cut it early and complain about one or two from Zhuchai Island, who made a trip for nothing. If there is such a stalemate, it is necessary to make some more covert compensations, such as saying hello to Jiang Shangzhen and Guan Yiran, and asking them to help take care of Shujian Lake Zhuchai Island one or two, and there is no need to inform Liu Chongrun about this. The two big favors owed by Luobashan, I owe them first, and when Chen Pingan returns to Aquarius Island, he has other considerations.

On Dong Shuijing's side, Luoposhan can help, and it doesn't involve big things, so they try to help as much as possible, and don't need to pay attention to gains and losses. However, any help to Dong Shuijing must not compromise the interests of Guan Yiran, the general stationed in Chishui City. This matter requires Zhu Lian to think carefully and be careful. As for Dong Shuijing's personal relationship with Yuan Junshou and Cao Duzao, Luopo Mountain should not be involved in the slightest. However, Wei Li, the new governor of Huang Tingguo, who was born as the governor of Huang Tingguo, can visit Luopo Mountain frequently, so he is worth making friends with. Then there is the newly-appointed city god of the state who was born out of nowhere. Since the incense boy of the master of the Chenghuang Pavilion has long been familiar with Pei Qian, he can tell Pei Qian a few words, and just keep in touch with that incense boy with a normal heart. In addition, Luoposhan has a certain friendship with this city god who was born out of nowhere, but the point is to stop, it should be shallow rather than deep, because the other party can leap from a small land to a state city god, and the background must be extremely complicated. In today's Luopo Mountain, it is more important to seek stability, so as not to be affected by the fights of some gods in the Dali Temple. Now the center of Dali must be a dangerous scene full of treacherous clouds and whirlpools.

Fan Er and Sun Jiashu in the old dragon city, when Zhu Lian was free, I would like to trouble you to go there in person, as a substitute for Chen Pingan to thank the door. During this period, if Mrs. Gui from Osmanthus Island had never traveled across continents, Zhu Lian I also want to take the initiative to visit, as well as the Jindan sword repairer of the Fan family, Mr. Ma Zhi, Zhu Lian can bring a pot of wine to the door, and the fairy family wine buried under the ground near the bamboo building can dig out two altars Make a pair and give it to the old man.

The Real Realm Sect enshrines Liu Zhimao's breakthrough to the Jade Pu Realm, so there is no need to pay attention to it, let alone send gifts to congratulate him.

Zhengyang Mountain and the Xu Clan in Qingfeng City continued to secretly collect any relevant news, big or small, through the hands of others.

In addition, there are more than 20 matters, big or small, which Chen Pingan wrote in this secret letter one by one. Most of them are just for Zhu Lian to handle. There is such a thing.

Then there are some matters that Chen Ping'an has already reached a conclusion. If Zhu Lian and the three of them feel that the direction is wrong and they need to continue to think about it, they can send a letter to Li Liu, because he

Before returning to Aquarius Island, I will definitely go to Lion Peak first.

In the end, Chen Pingan didn't write a letter to Pei Qian alone, but at the back of the letter, asked her to communicate more with her sister Aquarius, and to help him, the master, to communicate with Chen Ruchu, Chen Lingjun, and of course Zhou Mili, as well as Qi. Shi Rou, who was the shopkeeper of the New Year's Eve shop in Longxiang, reported that they were safe one by one. More nagging, tell Pei Qian not to be naughty in the school, if you feel that the teacher is not good at teaching for a while, then learn to be human from the teachers and masters, if you feel that the teachers in the school seem to be human, then just be with them Learn the principles of sages and sages in books.

At the end of this letter from the family, Chen Pingan agreed to Pei Qian. He had already nodded and agreed. The story is told up and down the Luopo mountain.

When he wrote this sentence briskly, Chen Pingan didn't even know it. He was full of smiles and his eyes were warm.

After writing this, Chen Pingan leaned back on the chair, hugged the back of his head, closed his eyes, and thought of the little lotus figure who was said to still not like to show his face.

I don't know if the vegetation on both sides of the steps of the mountain road in my hometown will be more lush next year than in previous years.

Every time after the Jinlu Dojo, there will be more rain in the Dragon Palace Cave.

Chen Ping put away the letter, walked out of the house, picked up the oil-paper umbrella, and continued to go for a walk.

After planning to go for a walk, I will give this letter to Li Yuan and send it to Luoba Mountain.

Chen Pingan was walking on the bluestone path adjacent to the mountains and rivers of Fushui Island, and suddenly turned his head to look at a place where he could vaguely see a talisman boat approaching slowly.

In the Dragon Palace Cave, he has no acquaintances except Li Yuan and Nan Xun Shuidian Mistress.

Suddenly, the boat was as fast as a flying sword, and it landed on the lake, landing safely on the shore.

Chen Ping took a closer look and rubbed his eyes to make sure he was right.

Hurry up to take advantage of the "Jun Qing Yu Xiang" jade tablet, and remove the restrictions on Fushui Island's mountains and rivers.

Huolong Daoist had already removed the blindfolds from the master and apprentice, Zhang Shanfeng laughed and said, "Chen Pingan!"

Chen Pingan asked with a smile: "Why are you here? I was thinking of going to the Bodi Peak to look for you after I finished my shopping here."

Zhang Shanfeng strode forward towards Chen Pingan.

Chen Pingan handed the oil-paper umbrella in his hand to Zhang Shanfeng, then bent down and clasped his fists and said, "Junior Chen Pingan, pay respects to the old man."

"Not old or old, just call the real person."

Master Huolong and the young man nodded with a smile. As soon as they landed on the talisman boat, the rain on Fushui Island stopped instantly.

Zhang Shanfeng was stunned for a moment, put away the oil-paper umbrella, and said cheerfully: "Good omen, good omen!"

Then Zhang Shanfeng gestured to Chen Pingan's head, and asked in doubt: "Chen Pingan, how fast is he?"

It turns out that the current Chen Ping'an is about a punch taller than the young Taoist priest.

In fact, many years have passed since the two sides parted and returned.

Chen Pingan was a little embarrassed next time, he was alone in Fushui Island, so naturally it didn't matter, if there was only Zhang Shanfeng alone, he was welcome, but there was an old man standing in front of him, so he was a little embarrassed, drinking Yes, but it's obviously not suitable, Caique Mansion's Xiaoxuanbi also has it, but unfortunately, he has seven orifices and six orifices for making tea, and he doesn't know anything about it, and he doesn't have a tea set.

Huolong Daoist took a look at the young man, and joked: "Walking with a lame leg, is there any trouble?"

Chen Ping smiled bitterly and nodded.

Under the eyes of the old man, Zhang Shanfeng lightly tapped Chen Ping'an with his elbow, and Chen Ping'an returned the favor.

Huolong Daoist turned a blind eye to this and walked forward slowly, with two young people walking aside.

The old man asked again: "Such a good writing gall, and it fits your way, why is it gone? Otherwise, with the support of gold, water, soil and three things, you wouldn't be able to climb the mountain with such a limp."

After Zhang Shanfeng heard this sentence, he immediately stopped "greeting" with Chen Pingan.

Chen Pingan replied: "I encountered some things, but I couldn't convince myself of my true heart. Some principles can't just be used to restrain others."

The old man asked with a smile: "Poverty Daoist is a little curious, what reason did you say that you need to pay such a high price?"

Chen Ping hesitated for a while, but still gave a rough answer, "A person who can be beaten to death thousands of times with his own hands, but he can't kill him."

The old real man hummed, "When the courage is broken, the little moral atmosphere that was finally condensed in the body is defeated, and then what? When will it be the end?"

Chen Pingan remained silent.

The old man smiled and said: "Drink some wine, think it through, it's not too late."

Chen Pingan took off the Yangjian gourd, which was now filled with glutinous rice wine from his hometown, took a sip, and handed it to Zhang Shanfeng, who gave a wink to indicate that his master was there.

The old real person continued: "With such selfishness, why can't you kill him? In this case, in Pindao's opinion, if you don't break the gall, it will break itself."

Chen Ping took another sip of wine.

The old man smiled and stretched out a hand, "Have you exhausted all your tricks, used all your knowledge, and managed to get to where you are today? For example, the Buddhist method of subduing the mind , Turn a certain thought of yours into a mind ape, turn it into a void and lock it in your heart, regard the damned person as a mind horse, and detain it in a real place? As for how to correct the mistake, it is more complicated, Legalists Confucianism's law, the ruler of the sorcerer's, the degree of Buddhism, and the fasting of Taoism, try to piece together with the rules of Confucianism to form a series of concrete compensation measures, right? I hope that in the future, there will always be One day, you and that person will always be able to pay back to this world after knowing and correcting mistakes year after year? If you make a mistake, you will make up for a bigger one. Over time, one day, you can feel a little bit at ease , right or wrong?"

Chen Ping'an's expression was gloomy, and he tightly held the Yangjian gourd in his hand.

The old man nodded, but shook his head again, sighing, "How difficult it is."

Zhang Shanfeng didn't dare to breathe.

The old man smiled and said: "Then have you ever thought about what is the key to this situation?"

The old real man asked himself and answered: "It's about whether to kill yourself first, and then kill yourself, or kill yourself first, and then think about killing."

Chen Ping was stunned, and murmured: "Why don't we first look at right and wrong, and then talk about other things?"

The old man sneered and said: "The poor man will ask you again, why is this person the only one who can't be killed in front of you, before your fist and sword?"

Chen Pingan was speechless.

The old real man smiled and said: "Because you know that as long as you have the intention to kill, you are killing yourself. Before you kill him, you are already dead. Chen Ping, is this difficult to understand? You, Chen Ping, are too smart. Far surpassing those of your peers, you have made many hidden choices. You are completely in line with your heart and have nothing to do with some of the principles you admire. Those are the most fundamental thoughts and ideas hidden deep in your heart, Chen Pingan. Cognition does not require you to turn around in your head at all, so it seems to be unaware, but in fact it is real."

Zhang Shanfeng found it particularly difficult to understand.

And there is sadness.

The young Taoist priest thought that this reunion after a long absence was only a good thing.

There will be no such bad things.

Zhang Shanfeng regretted bringing his master to Fushui Island.

Master Huolong shook his head and said: "In your view, Chen Ping'an, as long as you kill this person, your entire life, from your child, to your youth, to your travels, will be completely dead. All the people you know and know you, especially those who are no longer alive, seem to have died together. In the final analysis, it is not you, Chen Pingan, who are selfish? You are too afraid of death. You are afraid of your own death, and you are even more afraid Others hate you."

Chen Pingan stood where he was, and the sword gourd in his hand fell gently to the ground.

Huolong real person smiled at Zhang Shanfeng: "Let's continue walking, let Chen Pingan think about it, don't worry."

Zhang Shanfeng was so anxious that smoke came out of his throat.

It was only when the old man shook his head at him that Zhang Shanfeng tightened his grip on the oil-paper umbrella that Chen Pingan handed over, and continued walking with his master.

After walking away, Zhang Shanfeng was worried, turned his head to look, and asked softly: "Master, is it all right to leave Chen Pingan alone?"

Huolong Daoist said indifferently: "Since when is Chen Pingan not alone?"

Zhang Shanfeng was stunned.

The old man smiled and said, "It's not that Chen Ping'an is not sincere with you, that's not the case. It's just that this kid has been used to it since he was a child."

Zhang Shanfeng asked: "Bad thing?"

The old man thought for a while, "Being able to go all the way to today is naturally not a bad thing, but a good thing. But if it is still like this after today, it is..."

Zhang Shanfeng asked the same question again, "Bad thing?"

Never thought Huolong Daoist shook his head and smiled: "It's a bigger good thing. It's just that it's a little bit worse. He didn't think through it himself, and he couldn't break the bottleneck. The greatest calamity is the greatest demon."

The gate of the heart is the gate of ghosts, outside the gate of ghosts wanders, and there is a thin line between humans and ghosts. Therefore, there are often people in the underworld and ghosts in the yang, and it is difficult to distinguish between humans and ghosts.

Ordinary people, it's okay to say that they just want to live and live a better life. There is no theorem about whether people are human or ghosts. But those who practice the Tao, if their minds are muddy, they will make mistakes.

Zhang Shanfeng scratched his head and said, "Master, I really can't understand the twists and turns."

The old man laughed and said: "Because you don't need to understand that people are the difference between a world and a world."

Zhang Shanfeng asked: "Master, if you want to say that others are selfish, I can't say anything, but if you want to say that Chen Ping'an is selfish, I think it's wrong."

The old man shook his head and said, "It's not a derogatory term, so there's no need to complain about him."

Zhang Shanfeng suddenly stopped and said, "Master, I won't leave. I'll just stay here and watch over Chen Pingan, otherwise I don't feel at ease."

The old man nodded and said, "Very good."

Zhang Shanfeng complained: "What's the matter?"

The old man smiled and walked alone, just walking around the island.

And the old man was also very curious about what the young man finally came up with.

Zhang Shanfeng squatted in place, although it wasn't raining, he was too idle to do anything, so he held up his umbrella and looked at the mustard seed figure standing by the water in the distance.

Huolong Daoist continued to move forward, not walking fast.

But Fushui Island is only more than 30 miles away, and Huolong Daoist still walked to the vicinity of Chen Ping'an, and looked at the lake together. There was no rain on Fushui Island, but there was heavy rain everywhere on the other islands of Dragon Palace Cave. Zeshui meets, making people's vision more and more blurred.

Chen Pingan said slowly: "Old Master, there is something that I have never told anyone."

Huolong Daoist said: "You can speak out, and you can spit it out quickly."

Chen Pingan took a deep breath, "I have traveled a lot in my life, but I feel that the biggest test in my life, looking back, is just the most stable journey through mountains and rivers. It is not in The mountain-moving ape who almost killed me in my hometown was not the head teacher Lu of Qingming Tianxia, ​​or even someone who was stabbed in the abdomen by a swallowing sword boat, and it was not all kinds of conspiracy and fights that emerged one after another. The part that made me most uneasy Lu, who accompanied me was one of the few people I respect the most, his name was A Liang, and he was a swordsman."

Master Huolong said indifferently: "A child who looks at a strange world with trepidation has to speculate on others with the greatest malice, only to find out afterwards that his own intentions are so unbearable. The higher the swordsmanship of Ah Liang, the higher the heart , the more it can include the world, the more this child will feel lost and guilty in his future life. It is two completely different moods from the child's treatment of Mr. Qi, who he regarded as a god-man from the beginning."

Huolong Daoist said: "Just keep talking, and the poor will forget it after hearing it. You are open and generous, taking advantage of the rain to clean the sky and the earth, and asking your conscience."

Chen Pingan continued: "It was only later that I realized that the matter of marriage in the world can be led by people on the top of the mountain, so I am very afraid that the girl I like is not how much she likes me. I am very afraid of this."

Speaking of this, Chen Pingan smiled a little, "But after thinking about it, I still don't think she will, because she is Ning Yao, and there is only one Ning Yao in Ning Yao for thousands of years. So there is no chance, nothing Take a step back and say."

Huolong Daoist laughed, "What else?"

Chen Pingan said: "I am very afraid that I will become the kind of person I hated the most like the little slug. So I have always been afraid of becoming a mountain person. I have seen the demeanor of the sword fairy at the beginning, and I will admire it very much. After traveling around the world and seeing more suffering in the world, I became more and more resistant to the so-called feats of flattening mountains with one sword and destroying cities with one punch. But I figured it out later, don’t be afraid of this, if I cultivate Climb to the top with all your strength, and cultivate your mind to keep up with it, so that those who do things on the mountain just want to be happy, if they are not happy at all, I will be happy."

Master Huolong tutted his tongue and said: "This statement is the first time this 'old master' of Pindao has heard it, and he is a bit chewy, not bad."

Chen Ping said with a smile: "The questioning of the heart, thanks to the old real person, I had to admit my selfishness. Before that, I always deliberately thought about the complexity of the world, and for myself, I would subconsciously feel bold. Once broken, you don't have to go into it. In fact, this is a kind of retreat. In fact, as the old man said, selfishness is so serious, it is not terrible. The scary thing is that you follow this heart without knowing it. You know, but you don’t need to be afraid, one thing, it’s already at its worst, and as long as you still have the courage to lift it up, no matter how difficult it is, you can get better.”

The old man shook his head and said, "It's not enough."

"I hold grudges very much. There are quite a few people who want to kill but can't. I can only endure it. But I am not afraid of waiting. What I am afraid of is that after waiting for a long time, I find that my reasoning has changed and I have no reason to kill. So I have always hoped that before the new truth appears, there will be the power to kill!"

Chen Pingan thought for a moment, and then said: "There is also me, who has always been the least timid. I was afraid of ghosts when I was a child. After my parents died, it's not that I really don't fear ghosts anymore. It's just a different way to escape. My best friend Liu Xianyang, I knew that when I was an apprentice in the Dragon Kiln, the thing I was most afraid of was getting sick. In those years when I neither practiced boxing nor cultivated, I actually started to try my best to catch any clues about the small world of the human body. For the subtlety of the four seasons and the change of solar terms, I have already tried to connect the world and the human body, so Liu Xianyang said at that time that I was a poor maid, but I had the thoughts of a rich lady."

"It wasn't after I left my hometown that I started to be cautious. In order to reverse the case and avenge my parents, I began to disguise myself from a very young age. I wanted to be a sensible and grateful child in the neighborhood, so that everyone People think that I am an existence that will at least not cause any trouble for them. I will not steal or rob. I knew that once I lost some protection, I was doomed not to live. Even at that time, I was still young and just sensible, and I learned how to please everyone around me. I would often face the I was in a daze, after looking at it for a long time, I realized that I must learn to master the heat, so I would secretly clean the winter snow in the streets, because I knew that I did it once and several times, no one saw it, but I did it ten times. Dozens of times, someone will always see it. I will help the elderly to carry water, help my peers to climb trees and pick paper kites, and I will do a little help on weddings and weddings. I can help with other people’s farm work as much as I can. , I can't let them think that the kid named Chen Pingan in Niping Lane is smart and has thought of these things before he does so many things, but that kid should be a really 'good person'. In Qulong Before I became an apprentice, I had been doing this, and the habit became natural, and it was still the same after becoming an apprentice, so that today, when I came to this Fushui Island in Luzhou, Beiju, I couldn't help but think, Chen Ping An, what kind of person is he? Is he really a good person? I was watching the night trial at a city god’s temple earlier. The city god said that although goodness is not rewarded, it actually made me very guilty. There is also the matter of the Jinlu Daochang in the Dragon Palace Cave not long ago, Li Yuan said that heaven and man are connected, ghosts and gods are connected, I heard it, and I feel even more guilty."

After patiently listening to the young man's ramblings, Huolong Daoist asked, "Chen Ping'an, is there anyone or something that you take for granted?"

Chen Pingan nodded and said: "Of course. For example, my parents are good people, and I will only like Ning Yao in my life. I must see more mountains and rivers with Mr. Qi. I want to become a swordsman like A Liang! I have met many There are so many really good people. I don’t want my practice to be my own business. I hope that after seeing every injustice that dares to be angry and dare not speak up, I can punch and sword without any mistakes. I hope the truth It is the truth, not to use it when it is useful, and to put it on the shelf when it is useless, all the weak in the world can be angry, and the strong are willing to respect others."

Chen Pingan paused for a moment, and said slowly: "I also hope that Chen Pingan, who grew up in Mud Ping Lane in the world, can be a really good person without calculating so much."

Daoist Huolong asked: "Then finally, I want to ask you, have you ever understood your original intention? Who is Chen Ping'an in Niping Lane?"

Chen Ping shook his head, "It seems that there is no answer."

The old man smiled and asked: "Then do you still want to think about it? If you keep thinking about it, when will it be?"

Still an old question.

Going around, it's like an old man walked around Fushui Island and came back again.

But don't underestimate this lap.

Taoism advocates returning to nature.

seek the truth.

Chen Ping put his arms around his sleeves, stared blankly into the distance, remained silent for a long time, smiled and said something that was not an answer, but also an answer.

Master Huolong nodded after hearing this, but he didn't feel that this young man was playing it perfunctory. For a smart person like Chen Pingan, it is too easy to deceive others, but it is difficult to deceive himself.

So the old real man felt a little bit embarrassed, thinking that Mr. Wen Sheng's eyes on his disciples are as good as his own.

Huolong Daoist asked: "The third natal object, do you have any ideas for the time being?"

Chen Pingan nodded and said, "Yes."

Huolong Daoist asked: "Need a hand from the poor Taoist?"

Chen Ping smiled and said, "Need."

Huolong Daoist nodded, "It's easy to say."

Very crisp, after the previous heart-to-heart interview, this was a question-and-answer session without any muddling.

The old man patted the young man on the shoulder, "Go, catch up with the mountain, and stay here to enjoy the scenery first."

Chen Ping left.

The old man stood where he was.

Daoist Huolong sighed slightly.

I remembered Chen Pingan's previous answer.

It's a good one "I have dealt with me for a long time, and I would rather be me".
