Tian Yuan

Near the Xuanling Holy Land, an extraordinary person came.

Although he tried hard to hide his whereabouts and aura, he was still discovered by Chen Qingyuan and Peach Blossom Fairy.

He lost interest in playing chess and put the chess pieces back into the box.

"I must be here to find you."

Peach Blossom Fairy knows it without guessing.

The incident about the strange sight of the Sword Sea and the Law of the Forbidden Zone caused a great stir in Cang Yuzhou. The top experts living in this world came to see the unparalleled heroes who suddenly appeared.

"Originally, I said I was low-key, but I didn't expect it to become like this."

I still remember that when Chen Qingyuan first came to Cang Yuzhou, in order to avoid trouble, he bought a tattered flying spiritual weapon. The thief shook his head after seeing it.

Later, the Longxu Sect was involved, and then the Xuanling Holy Land was involved. The turmoil caused became bigger and bigger, and the word low-key had nothing to do with it.

"It's just you, and you still want to keep a low profile?"

Peach Blossom Fairy sarcastically said.

Too lazy to pay attention, Chen Qingyuan turned around and walked out.

Since we have a guest, we should meet him.

Without being noticed by others, he walked out of the holy land leisurely. Following the captured breath, we came to a lakeside with beautiful scenery.

In the green mountains and green waters, an old man wearing a straw hat is sitting by the lake, holding a bamboo fishing rod in his hand. There is an unsealed pot of turbid wine on the ground on the left side. Drinking and fishing, he seems to be in harmony with nature. As a whole, a touching landscape painting is outlined.

Not far away, Chen Qingyuan stopped.

Watch quietly without disturbing him.

The old man had been focusing on the fishing rod in his hand and the lake surface, as if he hadn't seen Chen Qingyuan and was very involved.

After about half a moment, the buoy sank into the water, and the transparent fishing line was tightened.

The fish is hooked!

The old man showed a happy smile and immediately pulled hard.

"pat"

A fish weighing two kilograms broke through the water and swayed in several arcs in the air. Finally, it was caught by the old man and placed on the shore, without any chance of entering the water.

"Fellow Taoist." After catching a fish, the old man put down his fishing rod, stood up and faced Chen Qingyuan, raised his hands in salute, and said with a humble attitude: "Sorry for the long wait."

"No problem." Chen Qingyuan returned the greeting.

"Now that we have the food to go with the wine, why don't we wait for a while and get rid of this fish."

The old man glanced at the fish still jumping around at his feet and smiled.

"Okay." Chen Qingyuan was not in a hurry.

"Thank you."

This man is quite polite.

So the old man began to kill fish, and turned his hands to create tables, chairs, benches, fire, pots and bowls, as well as various seasonings.

Witnessing this scene at close range, Chen Qingyuan could not tell the old man's specific cultivation level. He returned to his original nature and blended naturally with the world of mortals. This kind of person must be one of the best in Cangyu Province and should not be underestimated.

"Everyone must have some interests and hobbies in his life, otherwise it will be too boring." The old man said while cooking the dishes: "Some people like to kill people and set fires, and some people are greedy for money and lust. The old man has only one pursuit in his life, eating and drinking well."

"Nice pursuit."

Chen Qingyuan gave a reply.

"If you Taoist friends don't mind it, you can try the old man's craftsmanship later." The old man invited, and then told a story: "I was born in poverty, and I worked as a cook with my father since I was a child. Although I didn't make much, I still enjoyed it. Being able to be self-sufficient, I won’t go hungry. Over time, I somehow understood the art of swordsmanship, and then embarked on the path of spiritual practice.”

"She has deep blessings and extraordinary talents." Chen Qingyuan commented.

The old man smiled and did not refute.

If he wasn't gifted, he wouldn't be able to master swordsmanship on his own.

"Fellow Taoist, have you ever been hungry?"

The old man suddenly had a question.

"Been hungry." Chen Qingyuan couldn't help but think of that life in ancient times. When he was young, he snatched food from wild dogs, fought with beggars, and rummaged through garbage dumps for food.

"The feeling of being hungry is not pleasant. The suffering I suffered when I was a child is still fresh in my memory." The old man sighed softly: "Even if I embark on the road of construction and can live without food, I always want to take a bite. Only when I eat, I just feel like I’m still alive.”

"Chong"

After cleaning the fish, the old man took out a dark kitchen knife and started cutting vegetables.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The sound of the blade gently chopping on the chopping board lingered.

Chen Qingyuan squinted his eyes slightly, stared at the kitchen knife in the old man's hand, and secretly said in shock: "The Supreme Saint Weapon!"

A kitchen knife turned out to be the ultimate holy weapon.

A little further up is the quasi-imperial weapon.

"I am more nostalgic. When I was young, I got used to using a kitchen knife, and I had some feelings for it. Later, I tried my best to use it as a spiritual weapon, and I grew up step by step."

Although the old man did not look at Chen Qingyuan, he sensed a slight fluctuation in the law and guessed that it was related to the kitchen knife. He explained in a calm tone: "It is perfect for cutting vegetables."

Not long after, a fragrant fish was served.

Chen Qingyuan, who was standing on one side, naturally smelled the aroma of the fish and his appetite was aroused. He wanted to taste it.

"Please take a seat." The old man pointed to the empty seat in front of him and said to Chen Qingyuan.

"I'm in a good mood today."

Chen Qingyuan was not polite and sat across from him.

"This is the wine I brought, try it."

In return of courtesy, Chen Qingyuan took out two pots of fine wine and placed them on the table.

"Thank you."

The old man thanked him.

Then, Chen Qingyuan picked up a piece of fish meat with chopsticks and put it into his mouth.

It has a fragrant aroma, is fresh and delicious.

"very delicious."

He put down his chopsticks, took a sip of wine and praised.

"In terms of cooking skills, the old man should have passed the test." The old man commented on himself and was proud of himself.

This fish soon had only one bone left.

The two of them had a tacit understanding, and they didn't get to the main topic of conversation until they drank all the wine in their respective bottles.

"You haven't asked for your Taoist friend's name yet?"

Chen Qingyuan asked solemnly.

"Yan Ze."

The old man gave his name.

Hearing this name, Chen Qingyuan thought about it several times in his heart, but could not find any information about this name. It seems that he is a hidden master who is not known to the world in Cangyuzhou.

"We meet today. Do you have anything else to do, Fellow Daoist Yan?"

After eating the fish and drinking the wine, Chen Qingyuan had to ask clearly what the visitor meant.

"Take a look at your Taoist friend's appearance, there is nothing else to do."

The old man answered truthfully.

"Just a meeting?"

Chen Qingyuan was a little surprised.

"Yes." The old man nodded gently, his eyes were deep and full of endless vicissitudes, and he said slowly: "A great man comes to this world. If we can't get to know each other, it will be a regret in the future."

This sentence contains profound meaning.

With Chen Qingyuan's intelligence, he understood it all at once.

The person in front of me guessed that he did not belong to Cang Yuzhou, so he came to this world.

On second thought, it makes sense. The old man is a figure who stands at the top. He can definitely detect the changes in Cangyuzhou's laws and know many secrets.

"Fellow Taoist, have you climbed nine steps to the Divine Bridge?"

The atmosphere was quiet for a while, then Chen Qingyuan asked, sitting solemnly with sharp eyes.
