Sword comes

The terrain of Northern Yan Kingdom is flat. After the new emperor came to the throne, he made great efforts to govern and had two lands for raising horses. Therefore, the cavalry army was far more powerful than Jingnan and Wuling. In China, literati's writings and strange novels are mostly related to water spirits and dragons.

Sui Jingcheng wore a fence on his head and a robe of bamboo on his body. Although it was a hot summer season, when he was exposed to the scorching sun and rode on a horse during the day, it was still not a big problem. On the contrary, people took care of the horses more.

One day, the two horses parked under the shade of the trees by the river, the water was clear and there was no one around, so she took off the fence, took off her boots and socks, and when her feet were submerged in the water, she let out a long breath.

The senior sat not far away, took out a Polygonatum odoratum folding fan, but did not fan the breeze, just spread out the fan and shook it gently, on it there were words like duckweed and duckweed in a stream.She had seen it once before, and her senior said that it was a fairy family script that was peeled off from a mansion on the mountain called Chunlu Garden and a treasure boat of talismans.

Sui Jingcheng was actually a little worried about senior's injury. His left shoulder was directly pierced by a strong bow and arrow of a cultivator, and he was surrounded by a talisman formation. Sui Jingcheng couldn't imagine why senior seemed to be fine. During this journey, senior just rubbed gently right hand.

Sui Jingcheng turned his head and asked, "Senior, are you the assassin sent by Master Cao Fu and Jinlin Palace?"

Chen Pingan nodded, "It can only be said that it is the most likely one. That group of assassins has obvious characteristics. It is a well-known practice sect in the south of Luzhou in Beiju. It is said that it is a sect. Except for the name of Cuter Mountain, there is no mountain. Fundamentally, all assassins are called faceless people, and monks from all schools of thought can join, but I heard that there are many rules. There are rules on how to join, how to kill people, and how much to charge.”

Chen Ping smiled and said: "There is another biggest rule in cutting deer mountain. After receiving money, send assassins to take action. They only kill once. If they fail, they only charge half of the deposit. No matter how serious the casualties are, the remaining half will not be asked for by the employer. After that, Cutlushan will never take action against those who failed to assassinate. So now, at least we don't have to worry about the harassment of Cutlushan."

Sui Jingcheng sighed, a little sad and guilty, "In the end, it's still aimed at me."

Don't look at senior's smooth journey, but Sui Jingcheng is as careful as a hair, knowing that the assassination, senior did not deal with it easily.

Chen Ping closed his fan, and said slowly: "On the way of cultivation, fortune and misfortune depend on each other. Most Qi practitioners survived like this. The ups and downs may be big or small, but the size of the tribulation varies from person to person. I used to I have seen a pair of Taoist couples on the mountain who are in the lower five realms. The female monk was unable to break through the bottleneck because of hundreds of snowflakes. Entering the Skeleton Beach in the south to seek money with their lives, the couple’s emotional suffering along the way, you said that it’s not only suffering, but also not small. It’s not as easy as walking all the way to Xingting.”

Sui Jingcheng smiled, "Senior, did they meet by chance and helped them out?"

Chen Pingan didn't say anything.

Sui Jingcheng knew the answer.

Chen Ping pointed at Sui Jingcheng with his folding fan.

Sui Jingcheng smiled knowingly, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, calmed down, began to breathe and breathe, and practiced the formulas and immortals recorded in Shang Xuan Xuan Ji.

As a cultivator, when breathing out, there will be subtle qi ripples around, so that mosquitoes and flies are not close, and they can resist the cold and heat by themselves.

Although Sui Jingcheng has not yet completed his cultivation, he has already formed a rudimentary form, which is very rare, just like when Chen Pingan practiced Shaking Mountain Fist in a small town. Ma Kuxuan's Taoist guard at Zhenwu Mountain saw through him at a glance.Therefore, Sui Jingcheng's aptitude is really good, but I don't know why that Yunyou expert gave the three things back then, and since then he has been muddled into the sea, and there has been no news for more than [-] years. This year is obviously a catastrophe for Sui Jingcheng's practice. Even if the expert is thousands of miles away, there should still be some mysterious feelings in the dark.

As for Gao Ren's voice and appearance, it is even more weird, similar to that pamphlet, Sui Jingcheng can't read it, otherwise he will be confused and dizzy.

Sui Jingcheng asked the old people in the house a few years ago, and they all said that they couldn't remember clearly, even Sui Xinyu, the old servant who could remember with a photograph since he was a child, was no exception.

Chen Pingan knew that this was no ordinary blindfold on the mountain.

After Sui Jingcheng opened his eyes, half an hour had passed. Sunlight flowed from his body, and spiritual energy overflowed from the robe and bamboo clothes. The two rays of light complemented each other, like water and fire blending together. It's just that ordinary people can only see it blurredly, but Chen Pingan can see more. Many times, when Sui Jingcheng stopped the operation of the Qi machine, the vision on his body dissipated instantly.It is obvious that the bamboo robe was carefully selected by an expert. Let Sui Jingcheng practice the booklet to record the immortal method, which can get twice the result with half the effort, which can be described as well-intentioned.

The weather is lofty and aboveboard.

Therefore, Chen Pingan was more inclined towards that expert, and had no evil intentions towards Sui Jingcheng.

It's just that we still need to take one step at a time. After all, on the road of cultivation, 1 cares may be lost because of one carelessness.

Instead of deliberately hiding their tracks, the two kept leaving clues, just like sweeping a small town in a mountain villa. If they went all the way to Luying Country, and the expert hadn't shown up, Chen Pingan could only tell Sui Jingcheng what to do. Board the ferry of Xianjia, go to Pimazong in Bone Beach, and then go to Niujiaoshan Ferry in Baopingzhou. According to Sui Jingcheng's own wishes, he will register his name on Cui Dongshan and practice with Cui Dongshan.I believe that if there is a real destiny in the future, Sui Jingcheng will meet that expert again and renew the relationship between master and apprentice.

Arriving at the Lvyingguo Ferry specified by Senior Wang Dun, the news that Chen Ping'an most wanted to know at the moment was the movement of the Yuxi Jiangshuijiao on the other side of Dazhuan Capital.

Has Ji Yue, the Sword Immortal of Yuantiao Mountain, already fought against that Ten Realm martial artist?

Sui Jingcheng put on his socks and boots, stood up, and looked up at the sky. Previously, the sun was still hot and the heat was steaming, but now it was covered with dark clouds and there were signs of heavy rain.

Chen Pingan had already walked to the place where the horse was tethered first, and reminded: "Continue on the road, at most it will rain after a stick of incense, you can put on your coir raincoat directly."

Sui Jingcheng trotted over and asked with a smile, "Can seniors predict the sky? Earlier in the Xingting Pavilion, seniors also calculated the time for the rain break. My father said that only the masters of the Qin Tianjian in Wuling Kingdom have such abilities."

Chen Pingan put on the bamboo hat and coir raincoat, got on the horse, and said, "Do you want to learn this supernatural power?"

Sui Jingcheng nodded and said, "Of course."

Chen Ping said with a smile: "You have been working in the fields for more than ten years, begging for food from God all year round, and you will naturally learn to observe words and feelings."

Sui Jingcheng was speechless.

In fact, Chen Pingan only gave half of the answer, and the other half was related to Wu Fu, who can clearly perceive many subtleties of the world, such as the breeze blowing leaves, mosquitoes fluttering their wings, and dragonflies touching water. Sui Jingcheng, a cultivator of Daoism, talks about breaking the sky, which is also nonsense.

A torrential rain came as promised.

The two riders moved forward slowly, and did not deliberately hide from the rain. Sui Jingcheng never asked or complained about the wind, sun, and rain on the journey to the north. As a result, she soon realized that this was also practice. At the same time, I can also find a suitable way of breathing, so that I can keep my eyesight clear even in the heavy rain. In the scorching heat, I can even occasionally see the flow of the slender "water streams" hidden in the mist. The senior said that It is the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, so Sui Jingcheng often bends around when riding a horse, trying to catch those fleeting spiritual energy veins. Of course she can't catch them, but the bamboo robe on her body can absorb them.

The heavy rain is hard to last, and it comes and goes in a hurry.

The two riders took off their coir raincoats and continued on their way.

Before the night ban, the two riders rested in a county town around the water, because there would be a water shrine in the upper reaches of the river. For Mount E'e, the temples of the gods of mountains and rivers are not far away, less than three miles away. The seniors said that this is an extremely rare scene and must be seen.In fact, Sui Jingcheng has never quite understood why his predecessors like to visit places of interest so much, but he is afraid that there will be something special about the mountains here, so he has no choice but to hide it in his heart.

Cricket fighting is a common practice in the marketplace in Northern Yan State.

Many people went out of the city to the wilderness, catching crickets overnight and selling them for money. There are many poems and songs written by literati and scholars about crickets in the Northern Yan Kingdom. Only with poetry and prose to relieve worries, the courtyards of mansions of high officials and dignitaries, and the narrow gates of the market place, are still not tired of it, and the crickets chirp, resounding throughout the country.

Therefore, when the two riders entered the city earlier, far more people left the city than entered it, and it was not a small strange thing that everyone carried cricket cages of various colors.

The inn occupies a large area. It is said that it was transformed from a dismantled post station. The current owner of the inn is a son of a wealthy man in the capital. He bought it at a low price. There are literati calligraphy, and there is a bamboo pond behind.

At night, Chen Pingan walked out of the house and took a walk on the path by Yangliu Yiyi's pond. When he returned to the house to practice boxing, Sui Jingcheng, wearing a fence, stood on the path. Chen Pingan said: "It's not a big problem, you can go for a walk alone. "

Sui Jingcheng nodded, and after seeing her senior leave, she walked around and returned to her room.

Chen Pingan continued to practice the six-step walking pile, running the sword energy for eighteen stops, but still failed to break through the last bottleneck.

Occasionally, Chen Ping'an would wonder, is his talent for practicing swords so bad?

Those young geniuses at the Great Wall of Sword Qi seemed to have grasped the essence of Eighteen Stops of Sword Qi very quickly after passing the Overhanging Mountain.

However, Chen Pingan also has reasons to comfort himself. Among the key acupoints on the way of Shibastop, there are three strands of "extremely small sword energy" habitats, which are extremely obstructive. The last bottleneck lies in being blocked in one of them. At a pass, the air mechanism will be blocked.

Stopping the fist, Chen Pingan began to draw a talisman with a brush. The talisman paper was made of the most common yellow paper. I bought a lot of cinnabar on the mountain at Laohuai Street in Chunlupu. There are a lot of bottles and jars, most of which are worth three or two snowflakes. , Chen Pingan spent no less than three hundred talismans of various colors, and the attack on the valley proved that sometimes, winning by quantity is justified.

Sui Jingcheng was lucky, and found two secret books from the formation master, a map of talismans, a true explanation of the formation method with lost pages, and a pen note similar to essays, which recorded in detail the formation master's learning. Of all the experience since writing Fu, Chen Ping'an attaches great importance to this book of experience.

Of course, there is also a tall and strong man, a pair of god-man Chenglu armor of high rank, as well as the big bow and all the talisman arrows.

In addition to the two talisman knives of the female assassin, "Morning Dew" and "Twilight" are engraved respectively.

It's a pity that there is no fairy money, even a single snowflake money.

This sudden battle was the closest to the atmosphere of the siege in Ouhua Blessed Land.

Chen Ping was seriously injured, but he also benefited a lot.

When Sui Jingcheng and Sui Jingcheng had nothing to do, when resuming the chess game, Sui Jingcheng asked curiously: "Senior is left-handed."

Chen Pingan nodded, "I have been since I was a child. But after I practiced boxing, not long after I left my hometown town, I kept pretending not to be."

The leader of the Assassins who cut Lushan Mountain, that He Mian Jianxiu watched the battle quietly at that time, just to make sure that nothing happened, so this person repeatedly checked the distribution of the corpses of Beiyan cavalry soldiers on the ground, and Chen Pingan stabbed Bei Yan to death. The hand of the cavalry general of the Yan Kingdom was the right hand, and he was sure that he had seen the truth. He let the assassin of Mount Lushan, who had mastered the method of suppressing the bottom of the box, sacrifice the magical powers of Buddhism and detain Chen Pingan's right hand. The power of the secret technique and the great after-effects can be seen from the fact that Chen Pingan has still been affected to this day.

In fact, Chen Pingan didn't even know that the monks on the mountain had such weird secret techniques.

So it seems that Chen Ping hit by mistake, luckily, let the other party miscalculate.

In fact, this is the way Chen Pingan walks the rivers and lakes, as if he is always in a situation of siege.

Sui Jingcheng couldn't help asking: "Aren't you tired like this, senior?"

Chen Ping smiled and said: "Habits become natural. Didn't I tell you before, talking about complicated truths seems to be laborious, but after getting familiar with it, it becomes easier. When you punch and sword again, you will get closer and closer The unrestricted realm of heaven and earth. It’s not just about the killing power of your punches and swords, but it’s recognized by heaven and earth and fits the Dao.”

Sui Jingcheng at that time certainly did not understand the elegance of "the world is unrestrained", let alone the profound meaning of the saying "fitting with the Dao".

The next day, the two riders went to two adjacent Shanshui shrines and temples, and continued on their way.

It is not far away from Luying Country, which is located on the shore of the East China Sea in Luzhou, Beiju.

The two riders walked slowly, and Chen Pingan said with emotion: "The big kiln of heaven and earth, cooking with charcoal in the sun, melting all things, people can't help it."

Sui Jingcheng was a little drowsy, and it was rare for her to lift her spirits immediately after hearing the senior's words, "Senior, is this what the fairy family said, does it have any profound meaning?"

Chen Ping smiled and shook his head, "It's my best friend. I heard a sentence from the old master who taught us how to make a kiln. We were not very old at that time, and it was just a funny sentence. The old man is here with me. Side, I never talk about these things. In fact, to be precise, I almost never want to talk to me. Even if I go to the deep mountains to find suitable soil for firing porcelain, I may stay in the deep mountains for ten days and a half months. words."

Sui Jingcheng was surprised and said: "Senior's master still wants to make porcelain, is there such a fairy mansion on the mountain?"

Chen Pingan couldn't help but nodded, "Yes."

Sui Jingcheng asked cautiously: "In this way, the one who is a good friend of the senior, doesn't it mean that he has a higher talent for cultivation?"

Chen Ping said with a smile: "It's hard to say about the qualifications of practice. Anyway, I can't catch up with him in my life. He can do it after just a few glances. I may need to fumble for a month, but in the end I am still not as good as him."

Sui Jingcheng asked again: "Senior, won't there be pressure to be friends with such a person?"

Chen Ping laughed it off.

The two riders passed the border between Beiyan and Luying, and there were only two hundred miles left to go to the fairy family ferry.

The ferry is named Longtou Ferry, and it is the private site of Gu Yu School, the first-class immortal sect in Luying Kingdom. "A mountain came up.

The sect has nothing to do with the Grain Rain money in the fairy money, but this fairy sect produces two things, "Gu Yu Tie" and "Gu Yu Pai", which are popular in the mountains. The former is sold to rich families in secular dynasties. The superficial effect of the fairy family talisman is better than the door god posted on the ordinary door, which can protect the family and dispel ghosts and evil spirits.As for the Grain Rain card, it is hung on the waist and has a higher rank. It is a must-have item for all low-level qi practitioners in the surrounding areas of the Green Warring Country.The price is expensive, and the generals and ministers of the Luying Kingdom also have one. Even at the court meeting, the senior officials of the Luying Kingdom could not help hanging this object, and His Majesty the Emperor often rewarded meritorious ministers with this object.

Longtou Ferry is a large ferry, which originated from the territory of more than ten countries including the Great Seal Dynasty in the south, and the number of Qi practitioners is very small. Except for the small ferry in the Great Seal Kingdom and the Jinlin Palace, there are no immortals. Ferry, as the hub of the easternmost hub of Luzhou in Beiju, the land of Luying Kingdom with a small territory, the government and the people are very familiar with the monks on the mountain. It is a world of difference from the dozens of countries in the seal script where martial arts are rampant and gods give way.

The two sold the horses to a local escort agency in the county town.

Walking on foot, Chen Pingan handed over the trekking stick to Sui Jingcheng.

Chen Pingan's current clothes are getting simpler and simpler, that is, the bamboo hat and green shirt, even the hairpins have been put away, the bamboo box is no longer carried, and the raising sword gourd and sword fairy are put away together.

And Sui Jingcheng's words became less and less.

The two walked along a torrential river that flows into the sea. The river is several miles wide, but this is not the famous Dadu that flows into the sea. It is rumored that the water of the Dadu stretches as far as the eye can see. No chance to go to the other side.

The river wind blows the faces of pedestrians, and the heat is completely gone.

Sui Jingcheng asked: "Senior, if that worldly expert has never appeared, I hope I can still become your disciple, first as a registered disciple, and one day senior thinks I am qualified, and then remove the word "registered." As for that Senior Cui, would you like to teach me the Immortal Law, would you like to give me some advice, I will not force it, anyway, I have practiced for 30 years by myself, and I don’t mind waiting until Senior travels and returns home.”

Chen Pingan turned his head to look at the turbulent river, and said with a smile: "If you don't become his disciple, you will regret it, I can guarantee it."

Sui Jingcheng shook his head, firmly said: "No"

Chen Pingan said: "Let's assume that your preacher will never show up again, then the person I let you recognize as your master is a real immortal. Whatever it is, as long as it is what you want, he will be your master." Much stronger than me."

Of course, no matter how high that guy is, he is still his disciple.

In the past, Chen Pingan didn't think much of it, and more often it was just a burden. Looking back now, it's quite cool

Sui Jingcheng said firmly: "I don't believe there are such people in the world?"

Chen Pingan said: "Believe it or not, what you hear is what you see is what you see. When you meet him, you will understand."

Sui Jingcheng wears a fence and holds a walking stick in her hand. She is skeptical, but she just feels a little depressed. Even if that senior surnamed Cui is really such a god, he is a fairy on the mountain, so what?

Sui Jingcheng knew how much time wasted in practice, so the lifespan of a cultivator on the mountain, even hundreds of years, is really comparable to the experience of a person from the rivers and lakes? Will there be so many stories? Retreat, often for several years or ten years, go down the mountain to experience, and pay attention to not being stained with the world of mortals, walked through alone, and returned to the mountain without muddling, is this kind of practice and longevity, really longevity and worry-free? There will be no disasters on the road, and it is also possible to die and disappear. There are many passes and bottlenecks that are difficult to break. The scenery on the mountains that ordinary people cannot appreciate, no matter how magnificent and amazing, will not be bored after seeing it for decades or more than a hundred years Is it

Sui Jingcheng was a little upset.

Chen Pingan stopped, picked up a few stones, and threw them into the river casually.

Sui Jingcheng faced the river, and the strong wind blew the tulle against his face, and his dress fluttered to one side.

There are also many pedestrians on this riverside road, most of them are Qi practitioners who commute to and from Longtoudu.

When a big man patted the horse passing by, his eyes lit up, he reined in the horse suddenly, slapped his chest vigorously, and laughed loudly: "My lady, why don't you go with the old man who eats the food, drinks hot food, and the little white face next to you just doesn't like it. use."

Sui Jingcheng turned a deaf ear to it.

The man jumped up and landed beside Sui Jingcheng, with one hand slanting down, he patted Sui Jingcheng's rounded area.

Before he could succeed, the next moment the strong man fell into the river.

It was Chen Pingan who pressed his head and pushed it lightly, and fell heavily into the river.

The water splashed by this stone is a bit big.

The man swam the water with all his strength and went upstream, screaming, and then whistled, and the horse also let go of its horse and continued to charge forward, without any intention of regaining its position.

Sui Jingcheng was extremely nervous, "There are assassins trying again."

Chen Pingan shook his head and said, "Nothing, it's just that a bum can't control it."

Sui Jingcheng said with an aggrieved face: "Senior, there are such apprentices walking on the side of the road. If they board the ferry of the immortal family, they are all cultivators. If they have evil intentions and seniors don't do it, what should I do?" "

Chen Pingan said: "I told you before, I will make arrangements when we arrive at Longtoudu."

Sui Jingcheng said sadly, "But on the road of cultivation, there are so many contingencies and accidents."

Chen Pingan didn't say much, just hurried on his way.

Sui Jingcheng followed him and walked side by side, she said: "Senior, is this fairy family ferry similar to our ordinary river boats?"

Chen Pingan nodded and said: "Almost, when encountering strong winds in the sky, it will be a little bumpy and ups and downs like an ordinary ship, but it's not a big problem. Even if there are some thunderstorms, lightning and thunder, the ferry will pass safely. It’s good to enjoy the scenery. The ferry boat sails in the sea of ​​clouds, and the scenery will be quite good, maybe there will be cranes to follow, passing by some immortal sects, and you can also see many landscape visions contained in the mountain protection formation.”

Sui Jingcheng smiled and said, "Senior, don't worry, I will take care of myself."

Chen Pingan said slowly: "The heart of the Dao is like a rough jade. It is carved and honed. Every time you cut the knife, it will definitely be uncomfortable. But every time you feel uncomfortable, as long as you get through it, you will be successful in the so-called cultivation. This is related to your future. Practicing immortality is equally important, otherwise you will walk lamely and fall down the mountain easily. Gravity in the world does not pay attention to reason, and people in the world do not cultivate their minds. Many, many people can also be contented. Achieving a balance with the world can make people calm In terms of right and wrong, you have to think more about it. There will be bad things in good people, and there will be good principles in evil people. Just remember one thing and ask your heart more. This general principle is also derived from my I learned it from a person who once wanted to kill quickly."

Sui Jingcheng nodded, "Remember it."

As Chen Pingan walked, he stretched out his fingers and pointed to the two directions of the road ahead, "This is the strangeness of the world. When you and I meet, the road of cultivation that I pointed out will be as good as anyone's guidance. There are some deviations. For example, if you were replaced by the half-preacher who gave you three chances in the early years, if this master of travel came to preach for you personally."

"In the end, there will be two Sui Jingchengs. The more choices, the more Sui Jingchengs."

Chen Ping pointed to one side and the other, "Whether I am a bystander or you, Sui Jingcheng yourself, in fact, no one knows who will achieve more and live longer between two Sui Jingchengs. But you know that your heart is What? Because this matter is something that everyone can know at the moment."

Chen Ping walked ten steps along one of the routes, stopped, and pointed to the other road, "Walking all the way, walking all the way, no matter whether it is suffering or enjoying happiness, you are always firm in your steps, and then at a certain pass , especially after suffering a lot, you will definitely doubt yourself, and you will look around to see other possibilities in your life that you have abandoned by yourself. After careful consideration and careful consideration, the answer you get at that time is It is the original heart, and what to do next is to ask the heart."

"But let me tell you, at that moment, there will be a confusion, and we will all subconsciously do one thing, which is to use our best principles to convince ourselves that it is a very easy thing. Because As long as a person is not dead and can survive to any position in life, everyone will have something to offer. The difficulty is that the original heart remains the same and the reason changes."

Sui Jingcheng timidly asked: "If a person's heart is evil, the more he insists on it, the worse the world will be, especially if this kind of person can learn a lesson every time, won't it be getting worse and worse?"

Chen Ping nodded and said: "Of course. So I will only say these words to myself and the people around me. Most people don't need to say it, and there are some people. Fist and sword are enough."

Sui Jingcheng was stunned and speechless.

After a long silence, the two walked slowly, Sui Jingcheng asked, "What should I do?"

Chen Ping'an looked indifferent, "That's a question that Confucian academies and sages of hundreds of schools should consider."

"Three teachings and a hundred schools of thought, there are so many principles, such as heavy rain falling on the world, different seasons and different places, it may be a long drought and rain, but it may also be a flood."

"What we can do ourselves is always and everywhere, our hearts are like flowers and trees, and we are born facing the sun."

On the road, a young man in Confucian shirt who had just passed the two of them stopped, turned around and said with a smile, "I think what you say, sir, is right, but it's not the most right."

Chen Pingan stopped, turned his head and said with a smile, "Why?"

Sui Jingcheng stood behind Chen Pingan as if he was facing a formidable enemy.

The young man smiled and said: "In the streets and alleys, there are all kinds of great principles. As long as ordinary people practice this principle all their lives, they will be the ones who will not bow their heads when meeting sages, gods, and true Buddhas."

Chen Pingan asked: "If the nose is bruised and the face is swollen with a punch, the truth is still there and the fist is useless, the truth is great, isn't it the most natural truth?"

The young man said with a smile: "Truth is not just for food, nor is it just used to block fists. It is a fact that the world is full of suffering, but there are no less peaceful people in the world. Why are there so many people who don't have big fists? Still living and working in peace and contentment, why are there more monks pursuing absolute freedom on the mountain, while the secular dynasties below the mountain still generally live in a stable life”

Chen Pingan asked with a smile: "The fist is so big, there are countless weak people following it without even saying the truth. How can we explain that if you deny this truth as truth, it is hard to believe that truth will always be in the hands of a few strong people."

The young man shook his head, "That's just an appearance. Mister clearly has the answer, so why do you have such doubts?"

Chen Pingan smiled.

The young man said: "I'm Qi Jinglong, the genealogy of the Patriarch Hall of the Mountain Gate records that it is Liu Jinglong. It involves family affairs, so I won't explain to you sir."

Sui Jingcheng was at a loss.

Because she had never heard of the name "Liu Jinglong".

Chen Pingan asked: "Then talk while walking."

Qi Jinglong followed the two with a smile, and continued walking along the river together.

Chen Pingan said: "As soon as I talk about the appearance, I still hope that Mr. Qi Liu can clarify my doubts. Even if I already have the answer in my heart, I hope Mr. Liu's answer can be verified and matched with each other."

Qi Jinglong nodded, "Rather than saying that the fist is the truth, it is better to say that the sequence is different. The big fist belongs to the latter, and there is a key truth hidden in the front."

Chen Ping narrowed his eyes, but did not speak.

Qi Jinglong continued to say seriously: "The really powerful thing is the rules, the rules. Knowing these, and being able to use them. Is the emperor a strong man? Why are there things in the world where the state is broken and the mountains and rivers are destroyed? Why do some people die well?" , Some people are not allowed to end well. The genealogy of the fairy family's mansion, the son of the world's powerful, the rich and the grandson, is it a strong one? The first person on the ancestral tree. How did he achieve a family business? Because these existences are not really powerful, they just rise because of the rules and the general trend, and then perish because of non-compliance with the rules. , such as those who cultivate the Tao will not live forever."

Then Qi Jinglong narrated his own opinion with the two outsiders who met for the first time.

First, truly understand the rules, know how powerful and complex the rules are, the more the better, and all kinds of omissions under the rules and regulations.

Second, abide by the rules, or adhere to the rules.

For example, foolish and loyal courtiers, separatist military generals who are about to move.

Third, make your own rules, and of course you can break the rules.

Fourth, maintain rules.

Traffickers and pawns, emperors and generals, Shan Zeyexiu, genealogy immortal masters, ghosts and spirits, there are no exceptions.

During this period, truly powerful rules will shelter countless weak ones.Of course, this rule is very complicated, and it is created together by the mountains and the mountains, the temples, the rivers and lakes, the city and the countryside.

Therefore, emperors should self-examine themselves with the belief that "water can carry a boat and overturn it", monks on the mountain should be afraid of that eventuality, warriors who usurp the throne should worry about being wronged, people in the rivers and lakes should tirelessly pursue fame and reputation, and merchants should pursue a golden signboard .Therefore, monks in Nascent Soul must agree with the Dao, monks in Immortal Realm demand truth, and monks in Ascension Realm must let the Dao of Heaven and Earth, nod acquiesce, and let the saints of the Three Religions not feel that they are in conflict with their Dao of the Three Religions, but give up a path for them Continue to climb the road to come.

Sui Jingcheng was confused, he didn't dare to speak casually, he gripped his trekking stick tightly, his palms were full of sweat.

She just secretly glanced at the senior in the green shirt and bamboo hat beside him, he still looked calm.

Chen Pingan asked: "About the purpose of the Three Religions, can Mr. Liu understand something?"

Qi Jinglong said: "Some of them are still very shallow. Buddhism has no attachments and pursues no butcher's knife in everyone's hands. The reason why there are Hinayana and Mahayana is that the world is not very good. It is not enough for self-crossing. It is necessary to cross people. Daomen Pursue purity, if everyone in the world can be pure, with no desires and desires, then for generations to come, there will be a peaceful and prosperous age where everyone has no worries. It is a pity that the Taoist ancestors are too high, so it is really good, but it is a pity that when the people's wisdom is enlightened, they are not perfect. , wise people do shrewd things, more and more, Taoism is empty. Buddhism is so vast that it can almost cover the sea of ​​suffering, but it is a pity that the monks who teach the Dharma may not get the right Dharma. Taoism has no outsiders in the eyes, even if chickens and dogs ascend to heaven, how much can they take away Only Confucianism is the most difficult, the book is intertwined, although it is generally like the shade of a big tree, which can provide people with shade, but if you really want to look up, it seems to be fighting everywhere, and it is easy to make people feel like falling into the clouds."

Chen Pingan nodded, and asked, "If I remember correctly, Mr. Liu is not a Confucian student, so on the way of practice, are you pursuing all the laws of the world without restricting yourself, or doing whatever you want without breaking the rules?"

Qi Jinglong said with a smile: "One reason is that the former is hard to find, and I am not particularly willing, so it is the latter. Sir, he once said that the principle remains the same and the principles change, and what he said deeply touched my heart. People are changing, the world is changing, even Our old saying "doesn't move like a mountain", the mountains are actually changing. So Mr. said that you can do whatever you want and don't exceed the rules. It has always been the state of the sage that Confucianism respects most. Unfortunately, in the final analysis, it is still a kind of limited freedom. On the other hand, many The monks on the mountain, especially those who are closer to the top of the mountain, are more tireless in their pursuit of absolute freedom. It’s not that I think these people are all bad people. There is no such simple way of saying it. In fact, those who can truly achieve absolute freedom are the real ones Strong."

Qi Jinglong said with emotion: "These powerhouses who enjoy absolute freedom, without exception, have extremely tenacious minds and extremely tyrannical cultivation bases, that is to say, their cultivation strengths are already extreme."

After Chen Pingan got the answer, he asked a question that Sui Jingcheng couldn't ask at that time, "If the morals of the world are a table and stool with loose rules and shaking, and people who practice Taoism are no longer in the circle of tables and stools, what should we do?" manage"

Qi Jinglong said without hesitation: "Give me a hand first. If you have the heart and strength, then you can carefully drive a nail or two, or squat aside and mend."

Qi Jinglong expressed his feelings, looked at the river rolling into the sea, and sighed: "Immortal life must be a very remarkable thing, but is it really a very interesting thing? I don't think so."

It's not good people who speak the truth.

Bad guys can do it too, maybe even better at it.

Lord Cangyun Lake, in order to avoid the battle and survive, control the sea of ​​clouds and assume the posture of flooding the territory.

Chen Ping'an had no choice but to stop.

This is the truth of Mr. Hu.Chen Pingan had to listen.

Sui Jingcheng bet that Chen Ping'an would always follow you during the Xingting turmoil.

This is also what Sui Jingcheng was saying about her.

Chen Pingan was also listening.

In the pavilion, the old servant Sui Xinyu and Hunjiang Jiao Yang Yuan, two people with completely different identities, subconsciously said a sentence with roughly the same meaning.

Sui Xinyu said that "this is the border of Wuling Kingdom", and reminded the gangsters not to act recklessly. This is the invisible protection of the rules.

And this rule implies the dignity of the emperor and the court of the Wuling Kingdom, the loyalty of the world, especially the invisible fist of the No. 1 king of the Wuling Kingdom.

In Jinfei Country, before and after the small town on the top of Zhengrong Peak, Chen Pingan stood by twice without interfering. A sword fairy silently watched in his eyes, which means he also recognized Chen Pingan's truth, so Chen Pingan survived both times.

In the previous City of Escorts, a golden deity in the Temple of the God of Fire, knowing that it was meaningless, still chose to die generously in order to help Chen Pingan in the slightest.Because what Chen Pingan did was that Huoshen Temple felt that it made sense and was a rule.

Tong Ye Zong Du Mao's fist is not big, but when he wants to leave Tong Ye Continent, he also needs to abide by the rules, or take advantage of the loopholes in the rules before he can go to Aquarius Continent.

Hu Xinfeng, a Jianghu native of Wuling Kingdom, had a small fist, but before he died, he uttered the rule that the family would not be harmed.The reason for saying this is that this is a real Wuling Kingdom rule. Since Hu Xinfeng would say that, it is naturally this rule, which has protected countless old and young women and children in the world year after year.Why do every rookie who has shown his sharpness always bump into each other, even if he finally kills a bloody road, he will pay more because this is a silent reward from the rules to their fists.And these Jianghu people who are lucky enough to reach the top will one day become old people who actively maintain the existing rules, and become old Jianghu who stick to the rules.

There is a riverside viewing pavilion in front.

Chen Pingan stopped, cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, Mr. Liu, for clarifying my doubts."

Qi Jinglong smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Chen, for acknowledging this statement."

Chen Pingan shook his head, his eyes were clear, and he said sincerely: "There are many things I think about, but after all, Mr. Liu can't explain them thoroughly."

Qi Jinglong waved his hand, "How to think and how to act are still two different things."

Chen Pingan hesitated for a moment, and asked tentatively, "Can I buy you a drink?"

Qi Jinglong thought for a while, then shook his head helplessly and said, "I never drink alcohol."

Chen Pingan was a little embarrassed.

Sui Jingcheng felt that this scene was more interesting than the two talking about those words that were high into the sea of ​​clouds and low in the mud.

Chen Ping grabbed the man's arm, "It's okay, as long as you drink once, there will be no restrictions in the future."

Qi Jinglong wondered: "Forget it, it's really not possible. Mr. Chen drinks alcohol, and I can drink tea."

The three of them arrived at the water pavilion with protruding revetment and built on the big river.

The two sides sat opposite each other on the benches, the wind was blowing from the river, Sui Jingcheng held a trekking stick, stood outside the waterside pavilion, and did not enter.

Qi Jinglong explained: "I have a friend named Lu Zhuo, who is the disciple of the senior Wangdun in Sasao Villa, he sent me a letter saying that I might have a chat with you, so I came to try my luck. "

Chen Pingan took off the bamboo hat and put it aside, nodded, "You and that female crown had a fight in Dili Mountain, how did you fight? I think you two should hit it off, even if you don't become friends, you shouldn't have a relationship anyway." A fight to the death."

Qi Jinglong smiled and said: "It's just a misunderstanding. She met a group of evil cultivators at the foot of the mountain and wanted to kill them all. I thought there were people who deserved to die, so I stopped her a bit, and then there was such a formidable promise." Fighting is actually a trivial matter, but no matter how small it is, between me and her, I am unwilling to take half a step back, so there is inexplicably the embryonic form of a great battle, and there is nothing I can do about it."

Qi Jinglong asked: "Why, Mr. and her are friends?"

Chen Pingan nodded, "I used to practice in a blessed place."

Qi Jinglong joked: "Sir, you won't stand up for your friends, so beat me up."

Chen Ping smiled, shook his head and said, "Whoever says that a friend must be doing the right thing all his life."

Even the extremely respected senior Song Yushao, who was in the dilapidated temple back then, would use the reason of "killing a hundred mountain spirits and ghosts, and wronging at most one, if you don't draw a sword, there will be disasters" Kill the fox with the sword

Chen Pingan shot to block it at that time, and even blocked the sword of Senior Song.

As for Gu Can of Shujian Lake, there is no need to talk about it.

There are many truths that will make people feel at ease, but there are also many truths that will make people stagger with heavy burdens.

Outside the water pavilion, there were signs of rain again, and the surface of the river was foggy.

Qi Jinglong said that he does not drink but only drinks tea, but it is just an excuse, because he has never had anything close to him, so every time he goes down the mountain, he only has a flying sword of his own destiny to accompany him.

Seeing that he didn't want to drink, Chen Ping felt that it was his persuasion skills, and the heat was not enough, so he didn't force others to make an exception.

Qi Jinglong looked at the river and said with a smile, "It's raining, and the clouds are dense and difficult to clear."

Chen Pingan drank his wine and turned his head to look, "It will always be sunny after the rain."

Qi Jinglong nodded, but only raised his head, "But I'm afraid that the sky will change."

Chen Pingan smiled and said: "There are two small waterside pavilions, maybe there are three people besides the waterside pavilions, let alone the sky and the earth, what are you afraid of?"

Qi Jinglong was sitting upright, with his hands lightly placed on his knees, his eyes lit up at this moment, and he stretched out his hand, "Bring the wine"

Chen Ping threw a jug of wine over, sat cross-legged, and said with a bright smile, "With this jug of wine, I wish Mr. Liu a breakthrough and enter the upper five realms."

"Fighting against her at Dili Mountain has yielded a lot, and there is indeed some hope."

Qi Jinglong also sat cross-legged like that man, took a sip of his wine, and frowned, "Sure enough, it's right not to drink."

Chen Ping said with a smile: "After you drink a few pots of wine and you still don't like it, I will lose."

Qi Jinglong shook his head, but took two more sips.

Chen Pingan suddenly asked: "How old is Mr. Liu this year?"

For some reason, seeing this Beiju Luzhou Jianxiu who is not a Confucian student, he would think of Zhongqiu, the national teacher of Nanyuan Kingdom in Ouhua Blessed Land, and of course that alley kid, Cao Qinglang.

After all, Cao Qinglang was the person he most wanted to bring out of Ouhua Paradise back then.

Qi Jinglong said with a smile: "If you put it in the market place of the world, you will be an octogenarian."

Sui Jingcheng outside the waterside pavilion was speechless. The senior told her about the general realm of the gods on the mountain. Such a young half of Yupu realm

Strange is not surprising.

Because the "scholar" in the water pavilion is Liu Jinglong, a land dragon and sword repairman from Luzhou in Beiju.

An existence that once made Yang Ningzhen, the strongest martial artist of the sixth realm in the world, almost despair.

Chen Pingan thought for a while, nodded and praised: "It's amazing."

Qi Jinglong had a strange expression on his face, he took a sip of wine, wiped his mouth and said with a smile: "You are a guy who is not yet 30 years old, you are swearing."

Sui Jingcheng seemed to have been reduced to that fox charm woman whom he met by chance, and was struck by lightning. He turned his head to look at the water pavilion, and asked blankly, "Didn't senior say that he is three hundred years old?"

Chen Ping blinked, "Did I say that?"

Sui Jingcheng's expression was sullen, and he said in a deep voice, "At least twice."

Chen Ping took a sip of wine, "This is not very kind."

Qi Jinglong also took a sip of wine, glanced at the blue-clothed swordsman on the opposite side, and at the Mili girl outside, he smiled and said, "It's not very kind."
