Sword of Coming

Chapter 1223 As if nothing happened

The sky and the earth are clear and bright, washing away the old dust.

Chen Ping'an held an oil-paper umbrella under his arm and slowly walked towards the small rented house. Although he was seriously injured, his weight was relieved.

Bypassing the familiar Yamen Shrine, when he used to run a fortune-telling stall and work as a Taoist priest, Chen Pingan often climbed over the wall to watch the intrigues of the subordinate officials and study their words.

Using his own methods, Chen Ping'an found Gu Can's traces. Chen Pingan said something to his heart and gave Gu Can an address, agreeing to meet there.

Of course, Earth Immortals and monks in the upper five realms often have ways to cover up the weather. Gu Can did it deliberately because he was worried that Chen Ping'an would miss him.

Chen Ping'an walked into a Tianshui alley familiar with the road. Three practitioners came towards him from a distance. Among them was a strong man with arms as long as his knees. He was leaning on the package and was speaking in a low voice to comfort a man with a handsome face next to him. The young man with a crown of jade but a dejected expression said, "Hong Tu, so what if you are no longer a boy. Although you cannot be as extraordinary as the ancient swordsmen and learn how to take the head with the flying sword of the founder, you still have to be invincible in the world and become famous in the world. Only when you are in a good position. Don't belittle yourself and become discouraged, which is a waste of time and material."

The young man nodded dully, not knowing whether he heard it or whether it was going in one ear and out the other.

Seeing the green-shirted figure at the corner of the alley, the man glanced quickly. He didn't take it too seriously. He just lowered his voice and said a few words to the young man named Hong Tu. Then he turned to look at the man with both hands. The young woman who was dancing squares with her feet together, with fresh bones and a charming face, immediately behaved herself when she saw her uncle looking at her. Then the man turned around and continued to talk to them: "This time, the master orders you to follow me down the mountain and travel. I traveled a million miles across the Seven Kingdoms before I could return to my sect. I hope you understand the principle that there are people outside the mountains and there are people outside the mountains. You must know that there are countless strange people and strangers buried in the dust of the world. Often it is only because of the fate that the law has not arrived, and the real person does not show his face, or We pass each other in the busy city, or we don’t know each other across the street.”

What a coincidence. The woman raised her eyebrows and couldn't help but smile: "Uncle Master, there is someone walking away with a sword in front of me. Is he what Uncle Master calls an expert?"

There are some things a man should not say out loud. This time he left the sect and gained experience in the world of mortals. First of all, it was to let Hong Tusan relax and stop being so lifeless. He always felt that he could not practice the magic of the Immortal family, so he felt despair, which prompted him to make several things in the world. A chivalrous act to help him regain his morale. Furthermore, it was to let the direct disciple who was secretly appointed as the successor by the master behind her to see more of the world, mainly to come to a certain Taoist temple in the capital of Yuxuan Kingdom to help her find an opportunity to become an immortal. It turns out that there are three natural red lines on her eyebrows in heaven, which are the so-called signs on the mountain that the killing calamity is too severe. Therefore, she needs to be trained in the world of mortals for a few years to lose all the evil spirits and learn a principle of concealing one's edge. Study my immortal method. All in all, the purpose is to let her know that comparison is far from enough, and to make Hongtu feel that comparison is more than enough. The leader cannot be said to have bad intentions.

Seeing that there was still a long distance between him and the guest in green shirt, the man still used the secret method of gathering sound to form a line, which was not passed down by his master, and gave instructions to the two juniors: "Baoshu, Hongtu, let's travel the rivers and lakes When you meet a stranger for the first time, it depends on the level of the person's skills and martial arts skills. It will be easy for those who meet him, but not for those who are difficult. Remember to pay extra attention to their breathing and footsteps. For example, the person in front of you does have some martial arts skills. It’s just that his face is slightly pale, his breathing is slightly stagnant, the clarity and turbidity are different, and the force of each step landing is uneven. It can be seen that he had worked hard originally, but his spirit was probably a little weaker due to excessive drinking and sex.”

Chen Pingan had no choice but to pretend not to hear this comment.

The young woman named Baoshu in the team is indeed suitable for practicing Taoism. It is indeed a piece of jade, with the qualifications of an earthly immortal.

They probably all came into being at the right time. Such characters are now found in every corner of the world. Some major sects are busy.

Nian Ganlang of the Punishment Department had secretly sent more manpower to Aquarius Continent and even Tongye Continent to look for all kinds of Taoist embryos.

The sixteen geniuses sent to Luopo Mountain by the Dali imperial court have already taken the military ferry and will soon arrive at Niujiao Ferry.

The woman asked: "Uncle Gao, did I hear Master He say that there are immortal ferry crossings, inns and ferries in the world? As long as someone finds the exact address, they will see all the monks and Qi refining gods?"

The man smiled and said: "To put it lightly, it's not that easy to meet. You, Master He, just accidentally met a group of Qi refiners in the deserted mountain temple."

"I heard from the master that since ancient times, there have been land gods and goddesses who have seen the dragon but never seen the tail. When they first learned Taoism, they were often ordered by the sect master to teach them to make an oath. They should not show their holiness casually in front of the common people, and they should not show up in the mountains. You should not use your immortality skills outside the mountains to seek fame and fame in the world of mortals, or be greedy for worldly wealth, so as not to mislead your disciples and make them mistakenly think that refining qi and cultivating the Tao is a smooth road or a shortcut."

"Let's just say that the founder of our sect, even though he was a genius, he still had to go through countless hardships. When his merits were perfected, he finally perfected a flying sword. Within a hundred feet, the blue light was dazzling, and he could cut off the heads of thieves and bandits at will. , like searching a bag to retrieve an object, it is easy to reverse the palm, which is already the state of the ancient swordsman."

More than two hundred years ago, Lao Huang experienced that a fairy mansion in the mountains with numerous fairy sites in local chronicles gradually turned into a martial arts sect that only taught fists and kicks.

The few volumes of Taoism left by the founder can no longer be studied by anyone except the current leaders.

Regardless of whether he has a rich family background or a master in the mountains, he is afraid that it will become an old trend.

The woman looked longingly and said: "Uncle Gao, I heard that there is a Taoist priest named Wu in the capital. He is proficient in numerology and is very accurate in fortune-telling. He has the reputation of being an iron-clad god. His fortune-telling stall is nearby. Shall we go and have a look?"

The man smiled and said: "The person who shows his appearance in the market is not a real person, but it is unlikely that he is a god. When we go to Chongyang Temple, if you are still free, you can go to the stall and try your luck. If that person is really a strange person who is playing games in the world of mortals. Strangers are what you should be born into."

In an alley, the two parties approached.

Not to mention the legendary people who cultivated Taoism and became immortals. No matter how spiritual they are, they never feel sleepy. Even the people who practice martial arts and have a restrained spirit should not be so sleepy and drowsy during the day.

The man looked at the other party and felt very sorry, but he did not forget to take advantage of every opportunity and warned the two juniors. He gathered his voice and said: "The founder of our sect has a saying: wine, sex, wealth, and material possessions can make people feel exhausted day and night. . The peaceful family of the immortals can lead to the path to enlightenment. Sex and **** between men and women are the worst mistake for immortality. This person is light-footed and extremely sleepy. If the head brother is here, all he needs to do is recite the incantation, take a sip of talisman water, and spray it on his face. This will free you from the entanglement of the Sandman's nightmare and restore your mind to fullness. If you can learn to exercise restraint in the future, this person's path to martial arts will surely not stop here."

The two sides passed each other.

After walking out for more than ten steps, Baoshu laughed in a low voice: "Master is famous for his kindheartedness. According to his temper, he will definitely stop and have a good chat with this person."

People of the same generation as the head, except her master uncle Gao Zhu, privately said that her master was a good gentleman. If you encounter injustice outside the mountains, take care of it. If you encounter an unfortunate person in the world, help him. This has affected the development of the sect and his own practice a lot, but the leader always says that suffering is a blessing. Not long after she came to the mountain, she had overheard some harsh words in the past few years, saying that the leader was too soft-hearted, weak in Taoism, and not like a Taoist, which was why he had no academic ability but no Taoist power. Deep down in her heart, she felt that these statements were correct.

A person who practices Taoism must look like a person among gods and immortals. He should not put a clear Taoist heart that should be radiant and radiant in the mire and soil his own spirit.

Hong Tu didn't know whether it was due to some mistake or a blessing in his heart. He suddenly turned his head and happened to see the man in blue shirt turning his head and looking towards him with a sword on his back. He looked at him.

I heard a strange voice say: "If you have a leisurely time, young hero, you can look for Taoist Wu's stall and figure out your future. It's very effective, and the price is fair. I'm sure you won't waste your money." .”

Hong Tu was shocked in his heart. He saw the other person pointing at his ear, perhaps indicating the tip of his ear. He happened to overhear their conversation and talked about the fortune-telling stall.

Hong Tu turned around and asked hurriedly: "Senior, please give me some advice. If someone learns martial arts late and is not a child, can he really become a martial arts master?!"

However, he saw the inconspicuous man in green clothes using a ladder-like technique that resembled a light soaring technique. His feet were overlapping each other in the air, and in an instant, his figure was higher than the eaves of the alley and disappeared. Traces.

When Baoshu heard the movement behind her, she turned around and took a look. She only saw the green corner of her clothes. She was not surprised and asked, "Uncle, are you a master?"

The man didn't feel that he had made a mistake, and said with a smile: "The movement is not small, it is very high."

Chen Ping'an sat on a roof, thought for a while, and looked in the direction of Zheyao Mountain, without bothering Ma Kuxuan's few disciples who were not yet mature.

Repaying kindness with kindness and repaying with hatred is a matter of course. It is not only a matter of one's own family, but also a matter of the whole world.

As for whether that woman, who has quite good bones and is suitable for practicing Taoism in the mountains, can become a true Taoist, it is hard to say.

Not to boast, if Cen Yuanji had not met Zhu Lian and Jiang Qu had not entered Luolu Mountain, he would probably have disappeared from the crowd.

Forced to cheer up, Chen Ping'an chose a secluded alley and fell to the ground. It had been a long time since he felt like he wanted to take a long nap until he was full.

Gu Can and his party were walking through the streets in Yongjia County. Imperial Master Huang Lie didn't know anything about it. It was his maid Gu Lingxu who helped ask for directions before they found a quiet alley.

Outside the door of the small house, apart from Chen Ping'an who was squatting on the steps with his hands in sleeves, there were also a group of unfamiliar faces standing, apparently chatting.

Chen Ping'an looked a little sluggish, and he was clearly seriously injured. This familiar scene made Gu Can's face darken.

Gu Can walked forward slowly, asking for the result with his eyes.

Chen Ping'an said in his heart: "It's okay, it's an acceptable price. The Night Travel Sword is broken, and there is still a natal robe that needs to be refined and mended. Dozens of less important Qi Palaces have lost their foundation and need to be repaired." Repair. But it is not without benefits. In the long run, it will definitely not be a loss. I just took this opportunity."

Ning Yao is right. Yu Pu pursues truth and is more pragmatic. When an immortal ascends to ascension, except for the last step, before reaching the bottleneck of the immortal realm, monks are more pragmatic.

What's more, Chen Ping'an's current path to Taoism, after passing the biggest hurdle of Yuanying's return to Yupu, could not be simpler. It's nothing more than sword refining. When it comes to sword refining, it's even simpler. It's just eating gold. Fine copper coins and dragon-slaying stones.

Chen Ping'an has already made arrangements for gold and copper coins. He will discuss with the Song family in Dali and do business with the Luzhou Luomahe Liu family and Sanlang Temple in Beiju. If a small amount adds up to a big sum, there are always ways to do it. Let's go. According to Zheng Juzhong's estimate at the time, if Chen Ping'an "only needs" to eat another 1,500 gold coins, Jing Zhongyue can be promoted to the rank of Jingkou Yue. With the number of flying swords differentiated, there is hope. Raising it to 800,000. If he is more optimistic, Chen Pingan can even think about the number of "millions".

So the real difficulty is still the Dragon-Slaying Stone. Gold and copper coins can be considered "priceless but marketless", but the Dragon-Slaying Stone is a typical priceless and marketless one. Anyone who gets it can just cover it up, hide it, and never Sell ​​others, so at the top of Jiling Peak, even Yu Xuan personally helped to make the matchmaking, but he couldn't guarantee that he would be able to help find the seller. Chen Pingan wanted to use this to refine the sword in the cage, sharpen the sword's edge, and improve his rank. One can imagine how difficult it is.

Gu Can stared at him blankly.

Are you sure that Ma's family has been eradicated?

Chen Pingan changed the subject, "I took a temporary trip to the Sword Qi Great Wall and met your master. We chatted for a few words. Baidi City will be closed soon. He invited a female sword immortal named Zheng Dan. Although the person who serves as Yan is a ghost fairy, her swordsmanship is very high and she has a great background. Her swordsmanship inheritance has been alongside Zhou Shenzhi's Qucheng lineage in recent times."

Gu Can nodded.

The sword cultivator who was able to be personally invited by Zheng Juzhong to serve as a shaman must have a strong Taoist practice.

Gu Can said from the bottom of her heart: "The injury is serious. After returning to Luopo Mountain, do you need to stay in seclusion for a period of time?"

Chen Ping'an said: "It doesn't prevent me from being the best man for Liu Xianyang."

Gu Can said: "If it doesn't work, let Liu Xianyang postpone the wedding banquet."

Chen Pingan looked straight at Gu Can.

Gu Can said helplessly: "Joking, teasing, making a joke, seriously."

I'm not worried that you will harm your Taoism. If something impedes your Taoism, I'll have a few light words to help you relieve your boredom.

Chen Pingan slowly stood up and introduced them one by one, "I don't want you to work in vain. Let me introduce you. My pseudonym is Pu Liu, my real name is Xu Fu, I am in the Nascent Soul Realm, and there is little chance of breaking through. Guan Piao, Ghost Cultivator, Golden Core Realm, Breaking through the realm is not difficult. Shen Ke, who is the bottleneck of the Seventh Realm of Martial Arts, can immediately reach the Far Traveling realm. I have already negotiated with them. As long as you are willing to recruit, they can go to your side. Just take care of the food, whether they will give you a salary or not. , it depends on your mood.”

These former "masters" who were brought out of Ma Mansion by Chen Pingan were either old gods or great masters. They had each had a meal before. The old woman suffered a fire torture, and the ghost spy got a solid meal. Grandmaster Shen's situation was even worse. All in all, he was miserable to the point that it was unbearable to look back. Now, just thinking about it makes their hearts tremble. If Chen Jianxian hadn't asked them to follow him and said that he had an opportunity to offer, the old woman would have thought of running away. Not to mention Yu Xuanguo, she would have thought of traveling to other continents. As for Guan Qi, he also had thoughts of returning to his homeland, and Shen Ke wanted to find a clean place in the wilderness. At least for a year and a half, the old martial artist didn't want to be seen again.

Gu Can remained silent.

I'm here to help. Can you please help me? I'm just watching from the sidelines, and in the end you're going to talk to me about remuneration?

If it were anyone else, Gu Can would probably just say "I don't accept waste."

Chen Ping'an raised his hand and patted Gu Can's shoulder gently.

You, a new sect leader who comes from the Baidi City genealogy, should I introduce you to some descendants of famous families and noble men with strict ancestral precepts? Are we aboveboard with you every day?

What's more, this group of people have just suffered a lot and are the most honest. Your new sect can use it. Their realm is not high, but they are all very thoughtful. They know how to behave and are willing to do things.

Gu Can glanced at Chen Ping'an without saying anything. He turned to look at those few people. He was now very polite and polite in dealing with others. He cupped his fists and smiled and said: "Nice to meet you. My family's fortune is not big now. If I can get three It is a blessing for the younger generation to have an elder to help them.”

Although I don't know the identity of the young man in scholar's shirt in front of me, as long as he is Chen Jianxian's friend, how different his identity can be? Therefore, the three of them all looked flattered and returned the favor one after another.

In fact, one Nascent Soul, one Golden Pill, plus a Seventh Realm martial artist who is about to enter the Far Traveling Realm, is quite good. Just like the number three person who founded a sect in any continent, as long as he doesn't compare with the time-honored sects, his reputation is not small. Let’s just say that a few decades ago, in Shujian Lake, Liu Zhimao’s Qingxia Island had almost the same kind of wealth?

Gu Lingyan curled his lips.

Good luck to these three.

After entering the son's sect and going out, there is an extra amulet. After all, the "authentic ancestral court" of the sect is the Baidi City and Zheng Juzhong.

Beating a dog depends on the owner. Even if the three of them hit a hard nail, the sect leader Gu Can doesn't have enough face, so does Zheng Juzhong have enough face?

As the people "recommended" by Chen Ping'an personally, they were like another life-saving talisman for the sect leader Gu Can.

Gu Can introduced Huang Lie, who had just been recruited by his side, "Huang Lie, he has just resigned from the post of national advisor."

Chen Pingan clasped his fists and said with a smile: "I have met Senior Huang."

Huang Lie looked solemn and returned the courtesy solemnly: "How can a little golden elixir be worthy of the title of senior? If you practice Taoism and live forever, those who have mastered it are the first. I have met Mr. Chen."

Chen Pingan laughed dumbly.

Gu Lingyan couldn't help but sneer, "Oh, hey, I can help you give a unique insight to the word "sir". Mr. Huang is so good at flattering others, no wonder he can become a national master.

Chen Pingan asked: "Where are the others?"

Now that Gu Can is here, Liu Xianyang is definitely indispensable.

Gu Can smiled and said: "This guy went to Zhenwu Mountain to block the door."

Chen Pingan rubbed his eyebrows.

Gu Can said: "Let me state in advance that it was his idea for us to come to Yuxuanguo to meet together this time. I can only be a helper."

Chen Pingan said angrily: "You are loyal."

Gu Can chuckled and said, "I'm used to selling him."

Chen Pingan is used to it.

Gu Can said: "Pei Qian is here too and is currently at the Chenghuang Temple in the capital."

Before Chen Pingan could say anything, Gu Can said first, "It's Liu Xianyang's intention."

Seeing that Chen Ping'an still wanted to talk, Gu Can, who was familiar with his temperament, immediately asked a key question from the bottom of his heart, "What kind of crimes did they suffer in Ma Mansion? They are almost reduced to walking zombies who are just dragged by the thread of soul." , it’s a mess, if I don’t find a few bottles of panacea for them, and quickly stabilize their minds and souls, the sequelae will be too great.”

Gu Can is a bystander, and his realm and master's biography are all there. On the other hand, Pu Liu and several insiders are not aware of their current dangerous situation.

Chen Ping'an roughly explained: "Except for the relatively good spying on ghosts, the other two are not fuel-efficient lamps. I helped them tailor several small methods, setting up minefields, and giving them fire punishments. The warriors passed the test and used some tricks. discipline."

"It's good that you don't miss it when you're passing by, but it's good that you give it a small punishment or a big warning if you bump into it."

Gu Can couldn't help but laugh and gloated: "It's okay if Shen Ke survives. After all, he is a martial artist. What about Pu Liu and Guan Piao? Even if the old woman had no chance to join Yupu in the first place, the problem is that she now has a great opportunity. , she dares to retreat, dare to break through the realm, dare to face her inner demons?"

Chen Ping'an said: "In the future, as long as they hope to break through seclusion, if you write a letter, I will help them... cut off all their memories, as if they have never seen me, and it will not hurt their Dao roots. It just cleared the memory."

Gu Can remained silent with complicated eyes.

Chen Pingan laughed at himself and said: "Comparing me with Mr. Zheng? Can we compare? You think so highly of a Immortal Realm monk, and insult a Fourteenth Realm mentor who wants to establish a religion and call himself an ancestor?"

Gu Can didn't feel much about the words "establishing a religion and claiming to be his ancestor". He seemed to have expected it. Hearing this, his heart was not disturbed. Instead, he felt about the words "immortal realm"?

Chen Ping'an stretched out his hand to hold down Gu Can's head, "I am both an immortal and a sect leader. Liu Xianyang is still a sect leader after all. You are nothing like that. You only have a Jade Purity Realm next to you. What can you do?"

Gu Can was speechless.

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "This is what I call joking."

After entering the house, the old women looked around. In fact, there was nothing to see in the palm-sized land. They were very surprised. Is this where Chen Jianxian settled in the capital? Wouldn't it be too shabby? But after they thought about it, they were quickly relieved. How could the Great Sword Immortal's actions be judged by common sense?

Chen Pingan smiled and said: "Diligence is a money tree, frugality is a cornucopia."

The hall is simple and simple, mainly just an Eight Immortals table.

Chen Pingan invited everyone to sit down and said: "The rented place does not provide good hospitality, and we serve tea instead of wine."

Sensing the gesture from Gu Can's eyes, Gu Lingyan immediately went to boil water.

There was no one outside the house, so Chen Pingan asked: "Have you figured out the address?"

Gu Can said: "Let's just choose Fuyaozhou. There is a place. I have personally inspected it before and it's OK. But I plan to go to Fuyaozhou again and take a look. Maybe there is a better place. Son, I can’t tell you the exact location now.”

Chen Pingan nodded and said: "As long as you have decided on Fuyao Island, there is no need to be too anxious. Take your time."

Gu Can said: "There may not be a ceremony."

Chen Pingan smiled and said: "Even if there is a ceremony, I may not be invited to go."

Gu Can said: "I know you are busy, so you can only go to Qingxing Country, not Fuyao Continent."

Except for Gu Lingyan, who knew the basics, the others were all human beings, and they immediately tasted the aftertaste. Is this a sign of superiority?

What's the relationship between the two of them?

He became more and more curious about the identity of the young man in Confucian shirt.

Who can talk to Chen Jianxian so casually?

Chen Ping'an "made up for his past mistakes" and said: "Since I have chosen Fuyaozhou, I will introduce someone to you in the future."

Gu Can said: "If it's someone who came out of the summer palace, there's no need. He's destined to not be able to pee in a pot."

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "This man is known as the smartest emperor in the history of Fuyao Continent. I always feel that this guy has hidden wealth somewhere in his homeland."

Because Gu Can had stayed in Fuyaozhou for a while, he immediately guessed the identity of the other party and asked tentatively: "Is it the one who guards against his son better than outsiders?"

Chen Ping'an nodded and said: "That's him. Now that I'm living with Zhong Kui, I will be free one day sooner or later. You two probably have a good temper."

Gu Can smiled and said, "If it's him and he wants to be the chief worshipper, I'll do it."

Chen Ping'an said: "Let's wait until you meet in person. Let's see if we hit it off first."

Gu Can said with a smile: "If I beat him to death, he won't go to Luoluo Mountain. If I beat him to death, he would still be willing to follow me."

Chen Pingan chuckled and said, "Are you quite proud? You're showing off to me."

Gu Can was overjoyed.

Chen Pingan took a long breath.

If there was a chair to sit on, he would want to sleep on it.

Gu Can remembered something and asked, "Do you know there is a Chongyang Temple here?"

Chen Pingan nodded and said: "It was called alchemy in ancient times. It is a geomantic treasure place where Tao Qi is condensed. I passed by it a few times and did not go in to investigate further. Just by looking at the Qi, I could roughly tell that he was a Taoist priest who was proficient in fire magic. He was in Chongyang Temple. The person who builds the furnace to refine the water elixir is probably a stranger who dares to refine both the inner and outer elixirs. I guess the master’s realm may not be very high, but the power of the outer elixir is quite high. Why, have we met before?”

The few people I met in Tianshui Hutong just now seemed to be going to Chongyang to seek immortality.

There are many Taoist legal systems, only the outer alchemy sect and the inner alchemy sect. At the level of the golden elixir, there is a dividing line. Under the golden elixir, the outer elixir becomes popular. Seeking external things to strengthen oneself often leads to rapid breakthroughs. As for the outer elixir above the golden elixir, although it will not become useless, it is not very important. However, there are exceptions. On the side of Qingming Tianxia, ​​there are several Dharma veins along with the outer elixir that can directly lead to ascension. . Over in Tongyezhou, Lu Yong's Qinghu Palace belongs to the typical Taoist Waidan lineage.

Gu Can said: "I just met him and chatted for a few words. The master of the temple seems to be a golden elixir immortal. He is very courageous and dares to call himself Huilu."

Chen Pingan laughed it off.

Gu Lingyan said softly: "It's not like Qing Ming Tianxia. There is only one Taoist name, and you can't take it without permission. It's a unique one, and it's as valuable as the road of Hedao. In Haoran Tianxia, ​​besides the genealogy monks, there are also Taoist names. It’s not just random.”

Chen Pingan nodded.

Gu Can stopped talking about the matter, changed the subject and asked, "Would you like me to use the Three Mountain Talisman to go to Zhenwu Mountain and call Liu Xianyang over?"

Chen Pingan nodded and said: "Then you go and come back quickly, I will be lazy and wait for you here."

Liu Xianyang once overturned Lu Chen's fortune-telling stall and clamored to beat him every time he saw him.

In the past, he didn't know the identity of the Taoist priest with the lotus crown, so he wasn't afraid. Now even though he knew it was Lu Chen, Liu Xianyang was still not afraid at all.

After Gu Can left, Chen Pingan took out a talisman from his sleeve, turned it into a stream of colors, and quickly swept out of the house. When the talisman landed on the ground, it was Wu Di, a middle-aged Taoist, who was already in Chongyang Temple. outside the wall.

The main reason is that he is worried that Gu Can is inadvertently involved in some kind of cause and effect. Chen Pingan needs to find out and see it with his own eyes before he can rest assured.

Besides, when he met those "shanjiao" people in the Tianshui Hutong, Chen Ping'an felt that this matter could be big or small. According to his custom, he still wanted to see to believe.

Gu Lingyan just pretended not to know the reason.

The hometown is wild and there are no rules, but there is no shortage of pride. Because of the lack of calculation, the kind of life-or-death friendship might be more than Haoran's.

But this was the first time she had seen such a relationship between Gu Can and Chen Ping'an.

The old woman and several old members of the Ma family were still speculating on the identity of the young man in Confucian shirts.

Although I have been assigned a place, I will probably have to follow that young man to earn a living, but as long as I don't follow Mr. Chen to Luopo Mountain, that's fine!

Before Gu Can left, he glanced at Huang Lie.

You've "knocked" someone on me twice while I've been here. When I'm not here, if you still dare to act like this, I will accept you as a worshiper and then clean up the house on the same day. This kind of thing cannot be done by others, but I, Gu Can, can do it very casually.

Huang Lie seemed to feel guilty and quickly nodded in greeting. Don’t worry, I will never give Sect Master Gu another chance to misunderstand!

Inside Chongyang Temple, the scenery is quiet. In the setting sun, the red ocher water turns into paper, with patterns like runes, and the fish in the pond seem to be in a Taoist book, with the words "Eatable Gods" written in it.

A solitary bird rushes into the waves, its shadow floating in the air.

An old Taoist priest with a fluttering beard came up. Cheng Fengxuan, who turned out to be the owner of this place, noticed something strange in the temple. The old Taoist counted the cause and effect, and it was a mess. It was difficult to say good or bad for the time being, so he stopped his Taoist studies and walked out of the simple thatched hut. , the old Taoist steps on the square steps, very majestic.

What he saw was a middle-aged Taoist priest admiring the scenery by the water. I don’t know if they are peers or fellow travelers.

The old Taoist was not sure of the other party's intention for a moment. If the Taoist temple was closed all year round, there were no friends in the capital who came to visit, and no faithful men and women who came here to burn incense.

So the other party either climbed over the wall uninvited, or... he is a Taoist who really has magical powers. He can shrink the earth's veins and move mountains and rivers thousands of miles away.

Cheng Fengxuan looked around and came up with a guess. He asked with a smile: "But the Taoist priest Wu who sets up a stall in Hai'er Lane in Yongjia County, Wu Shen Gua?"

Just by looking at the opponent's attire, one cannot tell which lineage of the mountain he belongs to.

Chen Ping'an nodded with a smile and said straight to the point: "Wu Di, a poor Taoist, does not have a Taoist name. I just heard from a friend that Master Cheng Guan's Taoist name is Hui Lu? I have lived here for many days and passed by Guiguan several times. Because I didn't dare to disturb him, I didn't come to visit him. But today I heard that my friend mentioned Cheng Zhenren, and most of his words were filled with admiration for the master. I was afraid of missing a Taoist senior, so I had the courage to come here to talk about it."

Cheng Fengxuan stroked his beard and smiled, and said narrowly: "How can I take my self-proclaimed Taoist title seriously? Isn't Taoist Wu Wu so frightened? Or does he regard this poor Taoist as a villain and plan to ask for reward from the county government?"

Chen Pingan said: "The master of the temple is joking."

Cheng Fengxuan was too lazy to talk around with this person. He was upright and was not afraid of slanting shadows. After all, good time was limited and he should not waste it in such vain and arrogant things. He said directly: "People in the Ming Dynasty don't tell secrets. I dare to ask Daoist Wu whether he came here to explore the secluded scenery and enjoy the scenery. Or should we discuss Taoism and weigh the weight of a poor Taoist?"

If we say that his colleagues are enemies, he lives in seclusion in Chongyang Temple, concentrates on refining elixirs, has two disciples, and has nothing to do with the world. There is no reason to conflict with this fellow Taoist who is setting up a stall to make money.

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "I would like to ask, is the ancestor of Master Cheng Guan's family from the Lou Guan sect?"

Cheng Fengxuan was silent for a moment, then sighed deeply, showing a slightly sentimental look, "I never thought that fellow Daoist Wu would still know about such ancient things. To be honest, Pindao did come from a branch of the Lou Guan sect, but it was not orthodox. It has the same origin but different flows. The source of water has long been gone. Withered, this branch of Pindao is in such a bleak situation now."

In ancient times, real people emerged in large numbers. Among the Taoists in the world at that time, it was said that the Lou Guan School was the highest and the Donghua School was the largest.

As for the Taoist tradition of the Lou Guan Sect, in addition to being good at astronomy and divination, they are also proficient in the wind-horned bird divination, and they are also extremely good at alchemy. Otherwise, it will not be able to stand as the “highest”.

After Chen Pingan confirmed that what the other party said was true, he felt a little helpless. It turned out that the hidden connection like a fish lying on the bottom was not in Gu Can, but in himself.

The old master of the Donghai Taoist Temple, the master of the Bixiao Cave, secretly took care of the Tongyezhou Jinding Temple of the Louguan sect, and even asked Luo Luoshan and Jiang Shangzhen by name not to take action against Shao Yuanran. The old temple owner gave away a quarter of the lotus root land in Luolu Mountain to pay off a debt? Do I need to repay an interest in Chongyang Temple first? I wonder who among those three people from before, going back further, would not be involved in a certain ancestor of the Lou Guan sect?

Chen Pingan thought for a moment and then started to talk serious nonsense, "Since Master Jing is willing to treat people with sincerity, Pindao can't pretend to be mysterious. There should be someone who reciprocates the truth and tell the truth. Pindao used to travel around the world when he was young. In his early years in Tong, Yezhou, by chance, is somewhere in the north, and has a deep connection with the tradition passed down by a certain lineage of the Louguan sect, just like a plant planted, it is time for the flowers to bloom here, and the melons to ripen and fall."

Cheng Fengxuan gave a slightly confused sound. He was obviously hesitant and didn't dare to believe it. Is there really such a good thing that fell from the sky?

Chen Ping'an continued: "I am here in the capital of Yuxuan Kingdom. The matter is over, and I will continue to travel to other places soon. Over there in Zhugan Hutong, Yongjia County, there is a 'ghost house' that is rumored to be rumored, and there is a moxa hanging at the door. Grass, the viewer will know it when he goes over there and looks at the aura. The owner of the house is called Xue Ruyi. Although she looks like a ghost, she is dedicated to advocating Taoism and has a clear spirit. The poor Taoist has stayed here for several months. , have a close relationship with her, and call each other Taoist friends. She has quite a personal friendship with Tong Shenjun of Xiyue, whose **** is Dajun. It is because of her that the poor Taoist was lucky enough to meet Tong Shenjun in the house. Cheng Guanzhu is here After refining elixirs, you can take the time to go over and say that you and Wu Di are old friends."

Cheng Fengxuan pretended to be calm, and was amazed in his heart. The Taoist friend in front of him was so blessed that he could actually have a relationship with that Lord Tong?

This kind of thing, especially in the Huashan realm, you don't dare to talk nonsense and put gold on your face, otherwise are you really not afraid of being struck by lightning?

In fact, Cheng Fengxuan was not only surprised, but also frightened... just because his most important batch of elixirs was originally scheduled to be fired at noon during the Dragon Boat Festival this year. It was named "Wushi Fish" in the ancestral elixir book, and it was a batch of elixirs. As long as the medicine is successful, no more, no less, there are only two pills, one is indispensable without one, and even more cannot be achieved with more. The two pills just divide the yin and yang. But the old Taoist was not sure about this, just because he was missing one of the most important medicinal materials, even though he had put all his efforts into choosing the site of Chongyang Temple as a cauldron, and found a "Noon Couplet" as the winning weapon. However, there is still a lack of vital alchemy items, which results in the alchemy furnace being unable to achieve the kind of "water leakage" described in the alchemy book even though the fire is being lit! If one could burn a piece of immortal mugwort, it would be like setting off a fire in a steamer and transporting it to the temple for years of water transport? Isn't it... God's blessing? ! The reason why the old Taoist didn't look happy was that he didn't know the quality of the mugwort at the door of the ghost house. What is the firepower after burning?

The old Taoist became more and more frightened and doubtful. Could it be that meeting the Taoist priest Wu Di today was due to a mysterious and mysterious Taoist fate? If you really agree to what the other party said, it should bear fruit and come to fruition?

Chen Ping'an's original intention was to first help the temple owner and Xue Ruyi to connect, so that the two parties could take care of each other and form a romantic relationship. If there are any difficulties in Chongyang Temple in the future, Xue Ruyi, Tong Wenchang, and Chen Pingan will be able to weigh in on whether to help and how to help.

Chen Ping'an was also surprised and asked seemingly casually: "Pindao once met a poor young man from a foreign country named Baiyun. He and his grandfather used to sell pictures of spring cows together. Passing by the stall, Pindao helped him make a prediction. He was a I wonder if Master Jing has ever seen this young man with the Shan Yuan Dharma?"

Cheng Fengxuan shook his head, "I never leave home and have never seen this young man."

But the old Taoist quickly added, "Pindao's two disciples occasionally go shopping in the market, so they might have seen this person."

Chen Ping'an looked as usual and said with a smile: "I originally thought that this fate of the Immortal Family would fall on Guanzhu Cheng and Chongyang Guan, but now it seems that may not be the case."

This is the advantage of having a high level, and the secret words in the hearts of others are as loud as thunder.

The mugwort hanging at the door was given to Xue Ruyi by Lu Chen before, so that Chen Ping'an's fight with Ma Kuxuan would not make too much noise and accidentally hurt her soul as a ghost.

Lu Chen came to Haoran this time, and he was busy looking for the "noon fish" that was "hard to catch for the gods", which was the later young Ning Ji and now Chen Ping'an's direct disciple.

Could it be that according to the "original" context, Ning Ji, who had not been discovered by Lu Chen and Chen Ping'an, would enter this Chongyang Temple, and the young man would gain the favor of Cheng Fengxuan, worship him as his teacher, and step by step, eventually embark on the path of spiritual cultivation?

Chen Pingan laughed dumbly. Does this count as cutting off half-measures and stealing the opponent's proud disciple?

Did Lu Chen reach this level long ago and wanted to use that mugwort as compensation to indirectly help the old Taoist achieve perfection in alchemy? To settle a cause and effect?

It seems that next time I travel to the Middle-earth Divine Continent, in addition to the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain, if I have the chance, I will also go to the Lu Family in Middle-earth to borrow books and read.

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "It won't hinder the owner of the temple from entertaining guests."

The old Taoist asked in confusion: "Why do fellow Taoists come to say this?"

People of the Taoist sect are most particular about "collecting the spirit" and will not easily release their spiritual consciousness. According to legend, only the Taoist sect who has stepped into the state of sensing between heaven and man can not move the mind, but can communicate with the mind and be able to sense the outside world. The slightest change between heaven and earth.

At this time, a tall but handsome young Taoist boy ran quickly to the waterside, slapped his head, and panted: "Master Jing, we have another visitor."

Cheng Fengxuan smiled and praised, "Wu Daoyou is really a prophet of the future."

Perhaps because he noticed the playful look in Taoist Master Wu's eyes, the old Taoist felt a little ashamed. The food in his Taoist temple was indeed not full of oil and water on weekdays.

The old Taoist priest likes purity, and while refining alchemy, he is most afraid of the intrusion of the mortal world. Taoist temples are closed all year round to thank guests. They cannot steal or rob, and they are not willing to cheat and deceive. They have no side wealth, so how can they get extra money? Besides, it is difficult to practice Taoism. How can it be What a blessing. Although these two disciples have ordinary qualifications and cannot be considered geniuses, since Cheng Fengxuan has accepted them as registered disciples, in addition to following his own fate, he still has high hopes for them. Not only is the Taoist temple missing two fire-burning Taoist boys, It's so simple to do chores, and the old Taoist still hopes that they can revive their masters in the future with their Taoist power. However, the Taoists in the mountains have always been handed down the secret instructions from their masters orally, so they chose to Apprenticeship, teaching and teaching are extremely strict and secretive. Some Taoist lineages even have ancestral precepts that must be passed down by a single lineage. The lead and mercury cauldron is burned and refined into priceless beads. As long as a golden elixir is cultivated, the layman can live longer by taking it, and the immortal master can live forever and stay in the world after taking it. So the pot of elixirs was indeed completed, and there were exactly two pills. Song Juchuan and Zhong Shan were blessed with one pill. As for Cheng Fengxuan himself, he had already internalized the golden elixir, so there was no need for external objects to increase his Taoism.

Wu Di seemed to see the old Taoist's embarrassment and Zhong Shan's restraint, and smiled calmly: "We live in poverty and are kind-hearted, so we Taoists call ourselves poor Taoists."

The old Taoist stroked his beard and smiled, this is the truth.

Zhong Shan was eye-opening. It turns out that we Taoist priests also have a reason to be "poor"?

Taoist Master Wu looked at the tall and thin Taoist boy and said with a smile: "In the world, money is in gold and silver, but in our generation, there is Taoism and no Taoism, but it is in our hearts. It is not easy to enter the mountains, but it is even harder to cultivate Taoism. It is nothing to endure a little hardship, and heaven will give great responsibilities to these people. , they will inevitably strain their muscles and bones, starve their body skin, and deplete their body. This is the meaning of the question of cultivating the Tao. If you want to be free and happy as an immortal, you must first endure the hardships of the world. Since this little Taoist friend is already in the world, When you practice meditation and find the Master, don’t enter the Treasure Mountain only to come back empty-handed. Remember to have no distracting thoughts and be devoted to the Tao. Don’t blame others or blame others or drag your body and mind into hesitation. Believe that opportunities are waiting for you. "

After all, Zhong Shan was no more articulate or good at words than Senior Brother Song. He just bowed his head in a polite manner and sincerely thanked this strange Taoist Priest for his words and teachings.

Chen Ping'an reached out and patted the young man's shoulder, and said with a smile: "It's hard work cultivating Taoism, let's keep up the hard work."

Cheng Fengxuan originally wanted to take Taoist Wu to his alchemy place to have a look, but the other party directly said, "You can't ask the importance of the tripod."

When the old Taoist heard this, he choked for words. Is it indeed somewhat similar to the "fisherman's respect" that the young man in Confucian shirt said earlier?

Chen Ping'an said politely to the "Master Jing" visitor again, "Be pure and have few desires, have no competition with things, and have the spirit of a true person."

Then he said goodbye and left. The smiling old patron didn't try to stay, but secretly made up his mind to go to that "haunted house" to try his luck and see what the wormwood looked like.

On the way, Chen Pingan happened to pass that group of people again.

Taoist priest Wu Di's square steps are no worse than those of the old temple master.

After seeing the old Taoist with immortal spirit, the short man confirmed his identity and took out a secret letter written by the master. He bowed his head and handed it to him with both hands. , Hongtu came here to see Master Cheng."

Cheng Fengxuan took the letter, opened it on the spot, read the content, and looked up at the young woman named Baoshu. The old Taoist nodded and said, "It is indeed a material that can be made. From now on, she will stay in the temple to practice with Pindao. Three to five years will be fine."

People are in high spirits during happy events, and old Taoist priests are in a good mood. In fact, it is said to be a side branch of the Lou Guan sect. It is not wrong. It is similar to a country man who said that his surname had an emperor hundreds of years ago.

But secretly, he felt that the opportunity for this elixir to be created really lay in what Taoist Wu called a piece of mugwort.

When I was young and ignorant, I once uttered arrogant words. Anyone who is as idle as I am is a descendant of gods and refuses to become a god.

Nowadays, I have achieved a small degree of success in cultivating Taoism, and there is hope for the elixir to be produced. Who is as crazy as a poor Taoist who has already succeeded in refining the elixir and refuses to accept the golden elixir?

Cheng Fengxuan asked his more thoughtful apprentice Song Juchuan to lead Gao Zhu and the others to stay in the temple.

Back then, the old Taoist traveled from the Central Plains to Aquarius Island from north to south. During the journey, he stopped and chatted with the contemporary head of Yaojiashan, and he got along quite well with him. In the history of Yaojiashan, there was a founding master of Jindan Sword Immortal. However, after the sect was established, each generation was inferior to the next. The current leader, Yao Guozhen, was only a Qi practitioner in the cave realm, not a sword cultivator. Now that he has finally found a good man and a beautiful jade, it is estimated that Yao Guozhen thinks that it is difficult to teach the Dharma, and is worried that it will delay the woman's future as a monk, so he thinks that he can use stones from other mountains to attack jade? Haha, Pindao also has this idea of ​​adult beauty.

Just think of it as forming a good relationship with Yaojiashan on the way to practice.

In the future, when Song Juchuan and Zhong Shan leave the army, they will have a place to stay on their way out for training.

In the capital city of Yuxuan Kingdom, there is a Taoist temple with a very small appearance but a unique cave. It was once named Alchemy Temple and was renamed Chongyang Temple.

If the master of this year's contemplation and the contemporaries of the old days were both contemplating and practicing Taoism, how could they tell who was the master and who was the guest?

Zhong Shan was walking with his master. He remembered something and plucked up the courage to whisper: "Master Jing, I know a friend. He was born in a poor family and was a foreigner. He fled to the capital and lived with his grandfather. He knew medicinal materials and could draw spring cows." Tu, he knows some bricklaying work, and he is very hardworking, so the disciple wants to discuss with the master, can he come to our Taoist temple to do odd jobs and become a permanent Taoist priest?"

The old Taoist priest asked casually: "What's your friend's name?"

Zhong Shan said: "Baiyun."

The old Taoist thought for a while and came up with an idea, then said: "Zhong Shan, what do you think of the food in our Taoist temple?"

Zhong Shan said honestly: "It's not bad."

There really wasn’t much oil and water, so I always had enough to eat.

As for some of Senior Brother Song's private complaints, he did not tell his master, lest the more vindictive Master would hold on to them. When the time comes, his master scolds his senior brother, and his senior brother turns around and hits him, and he will not be the only one who loses.

The old Taoist stroked his beard and smiled and said: "As long as your friend named Baiyun comes to our place to do odd jobs for free, we will ensure that he has enough food for three meals a day. If he agrees, he will come here to help and work as a part-time worker first. Master, I will observe him for a few more days. If he is really honest and honest, it will not be difficult for him to become a resident Taoist priest. But if he feels that he cannot make money and does not want us to Chongyang Temple, then forget it."

Zhong Shan wrote it down silently, with a happy face. It was probably because his Taoist temple was old and in need of repairs everywhere. The reason that Senior Brother Song came up with for him, the phrase "I know how to do some bricklayer work", worked hard and convinced the master.

Thousands of energy and phenomena circle around this place. Ancient immortals created this pavilion.

There is a huge stone outside the pavilion, the top of which seems to have been cut into a platform with a sharp tool.

Sitting on the stone platform was a burly middle-aged Taoist with a curly beard and skin glowing with the color of mutton-fat jade. He seemed to be exhaling and exhaling. There were two lines of white smoke hanging from his nose, like a white snake hanging on the wall. There was water around him. It was foggy, and when the Taoist suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were gleaming with light, so terrifying.

The burly Taoist priest spread out his palms, looked at the lines, discerned the mountains, and looked at the four seas. Since he is a person who can see the mountains and rivers, the key is that he can also look at the Qi at the same time.

Numerology is in the dark, people and things are as new as before, and there are no doubts everywhere, everything is like the past.

There is a pair of boys and girls sitting in the pavilion. Both of them are so beautiful that they forget the vulgarity.

The handsome young man with a dragon beard and bangs, with a face like a crown of jade, sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, with a long sword across his knees at this moment, can be included in the book and become a talented man or a young knight.

There is a girl beside her who is charming and beautiful. Her appearance is so beautiful that people are at a loss for words.

They were not surprised to see this scene. This master, whom they had just met for less than a year, once learned the nose-locking technique from an unknown stranger from ancient times.

It's just that they have all kowtowed too much and learned skills from their masters, but they still don't know their master's name or sect. Is this a weird rule unique to the gods on the mountain?

Moreover, the master only said that he was honoring the order of his sect and was going to Huzhou, northwest of Dali, to save a person who was born with immortal roots and bring him back to the mountains. He would definitely be able to bring glory to the sect one day.

As a gift for accepting disciples, the Taoist priest once gave them a gift, one long sword and one short sword. He took off the long sword and gave it to the young disciples. It was about three feet four inches long.

The sword bag is old, colorful, and beautifully carved. However, the master did not reveal the name of the sword. He only said that it was a famous sword from ancient times. It was forged by a real person on land in a great mountain. He blew the hair on the edge and cut iron like mud. This sword can be It can be bent and stretched, and only needs to be wrapped around the waist when not in use. It was once a sharp weapon used by Taoists for self-defense in the early days of mountain climbing.

No matter how ignorant the young man is, he still knows that it is a treasure. Normally, he only needs to pull out the long sword two feet from the sword pouch, and he will feel the crystal light shining in his eyes. The middle-aged Taoist gifted the young apprentice a dagger, but he never mentioned its origin. He just told them to get close to the sword on weekdays and nourish the sword's energy with their own Tao and temperament. Naturally, the two of them couldn't understand the meaning of Tao Qi and Sword Qi, but they just figured out a reason. They thought it was the same as that person's theory of raising jade and jade raising people. They just got along day and night and played with each other from time to time. So every night when the girl goes to sleep, she will use the dagger as a pillow.

After the Taoist priest opened his eyes and spread his hands, he glanced down and frowned slightly. However, he quickly regained his Taoist heart and closed his eyes again.

The girl whispered: "Senior brother, Master only practices Qi day and night without taking a break. Master can live without grains and not eat whole grains. However, in this Taoist temple, we have to climb over the wall to come in and out like thieves. Why on earth? Why are we? Why don’t you go directly to Huzhou to find someone?”

The young man looked indifferent, shook his head and said, "How can I guess what Master is thinking?"

Both parties have been practicing martial arts and practicing Qi for less than a year, and they have reached a proficient level in light body kung fu. They can jump between the walls as fast as an ape, and move faster than a flying bird in the mountains and forests.

It's just that they still haven't practiced swordsmanship, and their master never teaches them, so they have nothing to do.

As for the three masters and disciples in the Taoist temple, it is really strange that they are still unaware of their existence.

A woman in a green skirt appeared out of thin air and came slowly.

She walked into the pavilion and said to Yan Yan with a smile, "You are the two disciples that Senior Brother Liu has just accepted. Which one is Fengcheng and who is Jingding?"

Ignoring their posture as if they were facing a formidable enemy, the woman introduced herself: "My surname is Xiao. In terms of seniority, I am your uncle. I won't mention my name for now. Our sect has very strict rules."

They stood up and saluted Master Xiao, who jumped out of nowhere.

"You and your ministers are all immortals, and they should cherish and love themselves."

The woman in green skirt stretched out her hand and pressed it twice, telling them not to be restrained, and said with a smile: "Practice well, and you can expect a great path."

While chatting with the two children, she said to the burly Taoist priest in her heart: "Brother Liu, why has it become so lively all of a sudden? Three groups of guests came in one day?"

The Taoist priest replied in a secret voice: "If there is no fate, we will never get together."

The woman in green skirt said: "Gu Can from Baidi City, maid Gu Lingyan, and Imperial Master Huang Lie, how did they get together? I just got a spy report from the main hall. The foxy girl who pretended to be Gu Can's personal maid turned out to be A female cultivator from the wilderness, whose name is Chunxiao. As for how she came to follow Gu Can, from the wilderness to the vast world, even the main church didn't know how she cultivated the path. She just couldn't find it out, and she said there was no need to check it again. , Senior Brother Liu, do you think it’s strange?”

The burly Taoist priest said: "The really important news is not about Gu Can and Chun Xiao, but about the Taoist priest Wu Di who just left here."

The woman in the green skirt's eyes lit up, "Anything to say?"

How could he be more important than Gu Can and Chun Xiao?

The Taoist priest revealed the secret with one word, "This person's true identity is one of the talisman clones of Lord Chen of Luopo Mountain."

The woman in green skirt asked: "Is he going to take revenge on the Ma family?"

The burly Taoist priest said: "The revenge has been avenged. The previous vision in the sky is proof that Ma Kuxuan's body has died and his Taoism has disappeared."

The woman in green skirt asked doubtfully: "How did you recognize it?"

As for Ma Kuxuan's death, she was not too surprised. She just couldn't believe that Ma Kuxuanzhen died like this. This news was really unbelievable.

You must know that many people in the outside world are extremely optimistic that Ma Kuxuan will rise to the top within a hundred years. It doesn't matter to her, it doesn't matter to her, why should she meddle in so many other things?

The Taoist priest said: "Gu Can left with his front foot, and Wu Di arrived with his back foot. Is it difficult to guess?"

The woman in the green skirt had a strange look on her face and was a little worried, "I'm just going to tell you why the girl Gongsun lost her aura out of thin air. Could it be because of him?"

A certain landscape travel book that sold extremely well and was banned again has deceived many spectators. The case of Chen Ping, the master of Chen Ping, has been a ruthless and ruthless master since he was young!

The Taoist priest said: "Do you still want to help such an abandoned disciple with a weak character return to the disciples?"

The woman in green skirt sighed quietly, unwilling to tangle with Senior Brother Liu on this topic. Although they are called brothers and sisters, they are from the same family but from different backgrounds.

She remembered the business and asked in her heart: "Uncle Cheng still can't wake up and remember his previous life? The main hall has asked about this, how should I reply?"

The middle-aged Taoist priest nodded and said: "Uncle Cheng's cultivation was too smooth in his last life and his blessings were profound. In this life, it has become a burden and it is more difficult to gain enlightenment. If you return to the main hall, you don't have to expect that Uncle Cheng can return to the mountain for at least two hundred years."

She sighed and rubbed her eyebrows.

In his last life, Uncle Cheng was already in the Ascension realm at this age.

I am now the Immortal of the Golden Pill, so I am so complacent.

An expert once made a very vivid metaphor: Uncle Cheng is a cornucopia of wealth and prosperity that comes to him without asking for luck.

Yu Xuan from Zhongtu, Wei She from Aaizhou, He Xiaoliang from Aquarius, and Huang Ting from Tongye are all such people.

She then became a little worried, "Uncle Cheng's foundation will not be broken by that Gu Can, right?"

She didn't want to have any entanglement with Baidi City.

In fact, it's not her, it's anyone else.

The burly Taoist priest shook his head and said, "No matter how talented Gu Can is, he still doesn't have this kind of vision."

She asked: "Can't Gu Can see that, where is that person? It's true that Uncle Cheng has self-proclaimed his Taoist title 'Hui Lu', which can easily make people suspicious."

The Taoist priest thought for a while, "Uncle Cheng is blessed with good fortune and strong Taoism. Even if he is confused, he can isolate the secrets of heaven on his own. Just like the protection of the martial arts master's fist, each has its own divine help. Master Chen has just entered the realm of Wangqi, so he should not recognize it." out."

She breathed a sigh of relief and said tentatively: "That girl Baoshu is so qualified, why don't you give it to your junior sister, senior brother?"

Baoshu is the nickname of the woman from Huzhou, and her full name is Yuan Chaoxian. In the secret book of the main hall, it has an excellent rating.

He is a "talent" that all three branches of the school want to compete for.

Seeing that the senior brother was unwilling to talk to him at all, the woman in the green skirt continued to persuade him: "You have accepted Fengcheng and Jing Ding as your apprentices, so you should let the junior sister get some light. I have been busy in Luzhou, Beiju these years. , there is hard work even without merit, it’s time to recruit a good and promising apprentice.”

"It is a gentleman's business to give credit to beauty."

The burly Taoist priest said calmly: "It's a pity that I am a swordsman and a Taoist."

The woman in green skirt suddenly became speechless.

He suggested: "You can take advantage of Uncle Cheng to recover his past life memories and ask him to make Song Juchuan or Zhong Shan your disciple."

The woman in green skirt laughed angrily when she heard this and said, "Senior Brother Liu, when can our lineage accept male disciples?"

It turns out that her lineage has always adhered to the ancestral precepts and passed down the inheritance from female to male. Otherwise, she really wouldn't mind asking "Cheng Fengxuan" for an apprentice.

It should be noted that in ancient times, there was a deity in Zhongshan, and the Taoist name was Zhuyin. It was not under the jurisdiction of the Confucian Temple. According to legend, the Taoist temple formed its own heaven and earth. This king saw it as day when he opened his eyes, and night when he closed his eyes.

Later, he was beheaded by his best friend, the Sword Immortal, and he prayed for his salvation and transformation, so that he could become a human body in the next life.

At that time, the person who handed him the sword to help him escape was none other than Pei Min, one of Haoran's three masters of swordsmanship.

She suddenly asked: "Why did Uncle Cheng come to Aquarius Continent to make elixirs?"

The Taoist priest seemed to say perfunctorily, "There is God's will in the dark."

There was a moment of silence.

The woman in the green skirt was in a depressed mood, "He is the only person I have misjudged."

She was a little depressed. She originally thought she thought highly of him, but she didn't expect that she underestimated him in the end.

"If you hadn't made a mistake back then and met him in Luzhou, Beiju, the world might not be the same as it is now."

The Taoist priest smiled a little and said: "Besides, Junior Sister Xiao, your so-called high opinion doesn't seem to be much higher. He is just a warrior in the Far Traveling Realm? And he is sure that he can only have one in his life. Two flying swords on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month?"

The woman in the green skirt avoided the important and took the easy, and said with a helpless expression: "A martial artist from the Eighth Realm is just a Chinese cabbage?"

The Taoist priest asked: "Is there any other news from the main hall?"

The woman in the green skirt nodded and said: "Someone came back here from the colorful world. Someone once saw her sword shining like a rainbow, traveling across the sea. Looking at her direction, she was heading to Fuyao Island."

Although he only said "someone", the Taoist priest knew it well.

The Taoist priest seemed to realize something and turned to look at her.

She nodded.

That Ning Yao probably broke through again and again.

Even though his Taoist heart was as firm as that of a burly Taoist priest, when he learned about this, he inevitably looked dazed for a moment and said softly: "Terrible."

She nodded and said: "It's unreasonable to break through like this. She left the Great Wall of Sword Qi. In just a few years, Nascent Soul broke through to Yupu, killed ancient gods and immortals, and defeated Taoist ancestors in a battle of swordsmanship. The closed disciples had no power to fight back, they ascended, and now they are..."

She sighed heavily and said helplessly: "I really can't go on talking about it. I'm so irritating when I compare myself to others. It makes others feel discouraged."

She then smiled and said: "I have become the best in the world. Even across the world, I can still come and go when I want. It's really free."

The burly Taoist priest suddenly stood up. As he stood up, he became taller and taller. He was actually a head taller than the man from the north of Aquarius Continent. He said in a deep voice: "We are far away."

The uninvited guest was still invisible. He just smiled and did not hide his sarcastic tone.

"Both seniors are at such a high level and have extraordinary status. Why do they like to talk about my family affairs so much?"

The woman in the green skirt followed Senior Brother Liu's gaze and looked somewhere. With ripples of ripples, the visitor finally appeared.

The man wears a green shirt and carries a sword on his back. He has a slender figure and his white hair on the temples has turned green again, probably because he has reached the immortal realm.

But he looked sluggish, probably because he had a hard time winning the fight with Ma Kuxuan.

She couldn't help but asked curiously: "When did Master Chen come here?"

Chen Pingan smiled and asked, "I'm also curious, when did the two seniors come to Aquarius Continent?"

The woman in green skirt frowned and said nothing.

Are you here to raise an army to investigate?

What is this person’s true state at the moment? The price for him and Lu Chen to temporarily borrow the realm was to fall from Yupu back to Nascent Soul.

The Taoist priest explained her doubts with his heartfelt voice: "'Taoist Wu Di' patted Zhongshan's shoulder before leaving the Taoist temple, and he noticed that Zhongshan's bones were unusual. It seemed unintentional, but it turned out to be intentional. As for when he sneaked into this place Yes, I don’t know either.”

The woman in the green skirt became more and more confused, "You are an immortal and you don't even know?"

In their profession, they are either killing or being killed. They are most proficient in lurking and sneak attacks. How could Chen Pingan be aware of this place?

The Taoist priest said: "It may be that your arrival has revealed the whereabouts."

The woman in green skirt laughed angrily.

The burly Taoist priest said: "My name is Liu Taozhi, and I am the leader of the Xishan Jianyin lineage."

"Over at Tongyezhou, Mr. Chen has already met Qin Buyi. She is the incoming leader of the Cherry Qingyi lineage. After she resigned, her position has been vacant for a long time."

"This Liangting person is Qin Buyi's junior sister, her name is Xiao Pu. There is no Taoist title in our sect. Even if we are not from the same lineage, we are mostly based on seniority."

Xiao Pu's appearance is just that of a middle-aged man, his skin is slightly yellow, but he has an awe-inspiring and solemn demeanor.

She wore a wooden hairpin on her head, wore a cotton coat, and a pair of cloth shoes. She smiled and said, "If you imitate the flying fuke, you will be ashamed to be the swordsman."

Chen Pingan was indifferent.

Although the boys and girls in the pavilion could not hear the words of the three people, they were all very curious about the identity and origin of the swordsman in blue.

Fengcheng, a young man with his sword on his knees, looked on coldly at the uninvited guest.

The girl stood still, but she couldn't take her eyes away, as if she had seen some exaggerated scene, with a look of wonder and wonder on her face.

Xiao Pu said: "I was lucky enough to see the fighting style of Master Chen and the group of Beiyan cavalry and Gelu Mountain assassins from a distance in Luzhou, Beiju."

Chen Pingan said: "Not long ago, the surrounding wild monks outside Tuoyue Mountain saw the fighting from a distance, and they probably felt the same way."

Xiao Pu didn't seem to hear the strangeness in the young swordsman's words, and continued: "Back then, Master Chen's realm was not high, but his spiritual consciousness was extraordinary."

At that time, Chen Ping'an was traveling with Sui Jingcheng. On horseback, he did feel a little strange. There was no clue, just an intuition of the crisis.

Chen Pingan remained silent.

It takes effort to speak.

Liu Taozhi seemed to feel that it was not appropriate for him to condescend to talk to Master Chen, so he fell down with a huge boulder because of the inappropriateness of etiquette.

Both those who clean up wrongs and those who borrow swords are extremely mysterious. And compared to the latter, the avenger is more cunning and unknown to the world. Just like the assassin praised in Bai Ye's poem, he truly kills people in ten steps and leaves no one behind. So much so that even Liang Shuang, the Great Heavenly Master outside Longhu Mountain, and a great mountain monk like Lao Zhenren had to ask Zhao Tianlai to learn some inside information. For example, among the three lines of the Winning of Wrongs, they are the swordsman Xishan Jianyin, the almost all female assassins Cherry Qingyi, and the last group of generals who hold high positions and important temples in the eight continents. This lineage has generally become The "bowl-saw man" is also known as the tinker.

It is true to say that Yu Qing is not simple.

Before this, Chen Ping'an only knew the real surname of Ma Mansion's "Cook Lady Yu Qing". She was Gongsun. She was a former vindicater, but she was not from the Xishan Jianyin lineage. Because of violating the rules, she was expelled and expelled, and lost her status as a wrongdoer. Only then did she have a contract with Ma Kuxuan. She was tricked into working as a free coolie somewhere without wages, and was also imprisoned from time to time. Xiao Xing harassed him.

It turns out that she is still Xiao Pu's disciple.

Earlier, Qin Buyi took the initiative to find Chen Pingan and opened the skylight to speak frankly. The Xishan Jianyin lineage, whose identity and actions are extremely secretive, once wanted to put the general helm in Aquarius Continent.

Later, according to Cui Dongshan's additional statement, Liu Taozhi's lineage of purifiers ostensibly had a dispute with the Dali Punishment Department that did not lead to any loss of life.

Both sides hold their own opinions. The meaning of the Dali Punishment Department is very simple. It is up to the Dali Dynasty to decide whether they should kill and when.

In the final analysis, Liu Taozhi and Cui Chan have different governance concepts.

Qin Buyi once took the initiative to invite Chen Pingan to be the chief guest minister of the Xishan Jianyin lineage in Tongyezhou, and was even willing to recommend Chen Pingan to become the supreme guest minister of the "main hall" of the Wrongful Persons together with his senior brother Liu Taozhi.

Qin Buyi's so-called junior sister, Xiao Pu, was the one who cut off the head of the late emperor of the Yu Dynasty of Tongyezhou with her own hands.

In fact, the most significant thing about Qin Buyi at that time was her statement that "there are also dead men in the rest of the world."

This means that the Manhuang, Qingming and Wucai worlds must all have secret chess belonging to the three veins of the Wrong-washing People, but the lines are just different in length.

But even so, Chen Ping'an still pretended not to understand what Qin Buyi said.

Qin Buyi was also an upright and cheerful person, so when he saw this scene, he didn't say another word.

Xiao Pu had nothing to say, and Chen Pingan didn't want to talk.

Liu Taozhi has a special status and must carefully consider every word, and words should not be too casual.

There was a moment of silence.

It was Chen Ping'an who was the first to break the silence. "Ma Yuemei of the Ma family. Among the female swordsmen she trained, there is one named Chun Wen. Is she the one that Senior Xiao has chosen?"

Xiao Pu was full of energy and was worthy of being a young hidden official who was good at seeing subtle things. She nodded and said, "Mr. Chen's expectation is correct. She is indeed one of the candidates."

Chen Pingan continued to ask: "Enshrined in Qing, she was once one of the cherry green clothes?"

Xiao Pu said: "Her real name is Gongsun Lingling, and I had high hopes for her. However, she was expelled from the Zhulan Hall because of a trial where she did not distinguish between public and private matters, vented her anger and killed indiscriminately, causing harm to others and violating the precepts."

There are three lines of purifiers. In addition to the three hall leaders who perform their own duties, there are two leaders in the main hall, with no distinction in terms of status and authority. They are respectively the one who holds the situation and the one who holds the lantern.

The Uncle Cheng mentioned by Liu Taozhi and Xiao Pu is the latter. Was. Before the rise of the Fire Dragon Master, he was the number one fire master in the world.

It turns out that their assassination methods are divided into day and night. One is to kill in public in broad daylight. Revenge for the weak, redress the injustice, and see the light of day again.

One is to sneak around at night and kill people quietly and covertly. Even if the night falls, the truth is still clear.

Chen Pingan looked at Liu Taozhi and said with a smile: "I don't seek fame or fortune. I wander around in the world of mortals, find people to save, help people in danger and rescue those in distress, and do justice for heaven. It is indeed respectable."

Liu Taozhi said with a smile on his face: "There is a long way to go."

Xiao Pu felt that there was something in Chen Pingan's words, and it didn't sound like a good word?

In this matter, the young hermit official has a good reputation.

Chen Pingan asked: "It is said that Xishan Jianyin's lineage was sent out of the country by my senior brother as a gift?"

To say something sarcastic?

If I didn't really recognize what you are doing, why would I be willing to talk to you here so much?

Liu Taozhi did not hide the matter and exposed his shortcomings: "I had a discussion with Cui Chan about governing the country. Unfortunately, we were not in the same camp. In the end, Cui Chan thought that I was an old acquaintance with someone. That's why he didn't kill our Xishan Jianyin Yitong. Facts have proved that Cui Han is right."

Chen Pingan hesitated for a moment, but still didn't say anything.

There are not many people who can be regarded as friends by Senior Cui.

Liu Taozhi said: "I once met a scholar named Cui in the Middle-earth Divine Continent. I don't know why he was sometimes sober and sometimes confused. However, our words were congenial and our personalities were compatible. We walked a journey together through mountains and rivers and traveled together for several times. It was a moonlit night and we drank a lot on the road. Neither of us asked about each other's identity, nor were we curious to explore. When we parted, we still only knew each other's last names."

Speaking of this, Liu Taozhi showed a little sadness, "I was just wondering about something. As a scholar, Mr. Cui has great knowledge, but his boxing skills are even higher."

I recall those days when the world was covered with snow, and I would travel alone with my sword. We would meet by chance, and we would feel like old friends at first sight. We would go to a restaurant together if we wanted to ask what was on our mind.

Chen Ping'an corrected him: "Senior Cui's boxing skills are extremely high, but he has never surpassed his knowledge."

Liu Taozhi nodded, "When I mentioned this matter to Mr. Chen, I had absolutely no intention of using emotion because I couldn't do it with reason."

Chen Ping'an smiled and said, "Senior is worrying too much."

Liu Taozhi then continued: "Although Junior Sister Qin failed to persuade Mr. Chen, I still refuse to give up. To be honest, even if Mr. Chen doesn't come today, I will go to Luoluo Mountain very soon."

Chen Ping'an shook his head and said: "Senior, with my good intentions, I am exempt from being an official."

Liu Taozhi hesitated to speak.

Chen Ping'an said: "If it's just to bring up old things and chat about the past, I would like to personally invite senior here to have a drink at Luoluoshanzhulou."

Liu Taozhi shook his head instead, "Is there really no room for negotiation?"

Chen Ping'an said: "If anything, we are already drunk by now. Bargaining with others is not my specialty."

Xiao Pu stretched out a finger and raised his eyebrows.

Chen Pingan turned his head and glanced at the girl.

Jing Ding pretended to be calm and smiled shyly.

Chen Ping'an just smiled and didn't care about anything with her.

Like Pei Qian, she seems to have the ability to see through other people's minds, or is it because of the magical power of her natal flying sword?

If we say that the Taoist cultivators on the top of the mountain are all quietly fighting for the crossing, they are all "carrying buckets to collect water" according to their own means.

So now all the major sects in the world are robbing people, overtly or covertly.

Fight for those who have become famous and are on the mountain to immediately strengthen the sect. Of course, we also fight for the embryos of monks who have not yet entered the mountain to deepen their foundation and strive to achieve success gradually over hundreds of years.

For example, Qi Tingji's Dragon Elephant Sword Sect is competing with the young hermit official for the group of sword immortals hiding in the wild world. Of course, this is a battle between gentlemen, and it is far from causing a red-faced incident.

He also wants to fight with Fu Xi, the first disciple of Zheng Juzhong in Baidi City, to **** the "Sword Immortal Xu Jun", Xu Xie from Liuxia Continent, hoping that he can serve as the leader of the sect.

Fu Zhen also personally approached Wei Jin and invited him to join him, but was rejected by Wei Jin. However, Wu Shu, a martial artist at the end of Tongyezhou, had agreed to serve as the chief guest.

What's more, Luo Po Mountain also snatched an old deaf boy as the new "general worshiper"?

Qingping Sword Sect also snatched two "private swords" from Jian Qi Great Wall, Xing Yun and Liu Shui.

To be honest, Shanzhu Chen and Luo Po Shan are firmly on the Diaoyutai. If you have the ability, why don't you grab Xiaomo and Xie Gou from me?

Moreover, Chen Ping'an and Ning Ji, his newly acquired disciple, are the disciples who learn and master whatever the master knows and teaches.

It's just that Chen Ping'an never thought that robbing people would all be done to me?

If I remember correctly, the last person to recruit me seemed to be Han Yushu, the Immortal Sect Leader of Wanyao Sect?

If he hadn't become the Grand Master of Great Li, Liu Taozhi and the others probably wouldn't have come to see him?

Chen Ping'an focused more on Ning Ji.

As Chen Ping'an guessed, Ning Ji, whose pseudonym is "Baiyun", will most likely be brought into this Taoist temple by his friend Zhong Shan, and then be qualified by the temple owner Cheng Fengxuan, who will spend all his money to teach Taoism. From then on, the young man will climb mountains and break through He is extremely fast and can ride extremely fast, far ahead of his peers.

Xiao Pu said with a smile: "Master Chen Shan, since you are not just the chief guest of Xishan Jianyin or Tao Tingyi Qingyi, then I must explain to you clearly that the position of supreme guest of the main hall is not yours." The kind of false title on the mountain that I think has great authority. He is one of only three people in the sect who can know everyone's identity."

Chen Pingan said oh.

Xiao Pu was speechless for a moment.

You've just become the Grand Master of Great Li, so you're so arrogant?

Even if you refuse to appreciate it and don't even bother to say a few polite words?

Chen Ping'an said: "I just refused to serve as the newly established criminal officer of the Zhongtu Confucian Temple."

Xiao Pu was stunned for a moment, and she couldn't say another word.

Liu Taozhi said with a smile: "Xiao Pu secretly stared at Mr. Chen for a while, hoping that Mr. Chen would not be angry because of it."

Chen Ping'an said: "When a good person walks on the road, he is just like protecting others. Why are others angry?"

Xiao Pu was obviously very surprised by this answer.

Liu Taozhi suddenly said a digression, "I have a question, please ask fellow Taoist for help."

Chen Pingan said slowly: "Any questions will be answered."

"What is practice?"

"As if nothing happened."

Upon hearing this answer, Liu Taozhi's eyes lit up.

Xiao Pu chewed these four simple words carefully and felt that the aftertaste was endless.

Chen Pingan clasped his fists and said, "Just say goodbye."

Liu Taozhi returned the gift with his hand.

Chen Pingan turned around and left, then suddenly turned around and said, "Senior brother did not say that you can return to Aquarius Continent."

Liu Taozhi was caught off guard by the Hui Ma shot, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond.

Xiao Pu answered helpfully: "But Cui Chan didn't say he couldn't return to Aquarius Continent."

Liu Taozhi knew something was wrong.

as expected.

"Senior Brother Cui is no longer here."

Chen Pingan stopped and turned around, paused for a moment, and said with a smile: "In Aquarius Continent, regardless of north or south, I have the final say on many things."
