Sword comes

Both men and women met each other in one's hometown and the other in a foreign land in the early years.

This is still the case today, but the two sides have switched. After all, Beiju Luzhou can be regarded as half of her hometown, the founding lord of the Qingliang Sect.

For ordinary people at the bottom of the mountain, recognizing their ancestors and returning to their clan is a top priority.The ascetic monks on the mountain paid more attention to this matter.

He Xiaoliang turned his head to the direct disciple enshrined by the sect behind him, and said, "Li Zhou, you go back to the mountain first."

Although Li Zhou was a little lost, he immediately put away his messy thoughts and respectfully took his orders to leave.

He Xiaoliang smiled and said, "Walk casually?"

Chen Pingan nodded and said: "It should be a good chat, procrastination, not the demeanor that a suzerain should have."

He Xiaoliang turned around and walked into the alley, giving way to the middle path, intentionally or unintentionally leaning to one side of the wall, and Chen Pingan walked on the other side.

He Xiaoliang asked: "In the Ghost Valley, how did you guess that Gao Cheng and I were plotting against you?"

Chen Pingan said: "It's all a vague coincidence, and then Sect Master He thinks more about Taoism and more scheming, so he ran away quickly."

He Xiaoliang said: "I'm on the top of my own mountain. I don't have any problems in my practice, but I almost fell down. Do you think there are several suzerains who have just entered the Jade Realm in the Haoran world, and they will end up like this?"

Chen Pingan recalled what he had seen and heard when he bought citrus earlier, and said with a smile: "If I can apologize to Sect Master He, then I am wrong."

He Xiaoliang was noncommittal, changed the subject, and said, "You shouldn't be able to say such things before."

Chen Ping shook his head and said: "In the past, as long as you can live well, you can kowtow and beg for mercy."

He Xiaoliang said: "For example, if it is possible, you will beg the mountain ape not to punch Liu Xianyang seriously?"

Chen Pingan nodded and said, "Of course. If that old bastard felt that bang bang kowtow was not sincere, I would try to kowtow to the old bastard and get a flower."

He Xiaoliang asked: "What about after the kowtow?"

Chen Pingan didn't hide it, "What else can I do? Live the ordinary life. If there is such an event, I have a chance to settle the old score, so let's talk about it. The wine on the mountain will only get better and better. .”

He Xiaoliang asked again, "Now?"

As Chen Ping walked, he lightly tossed the citrus in his hand, and said slowly: "I'm not good enough, so I drink to make up for it. What else can I do? Blame everyone, yell, and say that God won't open his eyes, God will really pay attention to me." ?”

He Xiaoliang was about to ask again.

If this was the case in the past, what should it be now?

Master Lu Chen once took her through a more complicated long river of time, so she was able to see all kinds of Chen Pingan in the future.

Only the Chen Pingan in front of him is not among the "many Chen Pingan".

"There's no need to talk about old times."

Chen Pingan held the citrus, turned his head and smiled and said, "Sect Master He, give me a hearty word, can we let you take your Yangguan Road in the future, and I will take my single-plank bridge?"

He Xiaoliang pointed at the sky, and said with a smile: "Why don't you ask my master? The master really wants to issue a decree, and I, a closed disciple, dare not refuse."

Chen Ping said with a smile: "Then I have to be more capable, but I don't know how much wine I have to drink before this."

Since the other party is not sincere, it is difficult to talk.

He Xiaoliang didn't mind what Chen Pingan was thinking at all. The only thing she cared about was how Chen Pingan would go in the future and whether it would become a big trouble for her.

Back in the day, the boy in straw sandals with a basket of snake gallstones on his back met for the first time by the water. It was not just because of the disparity in status that he looked up at the group of them standing on the rocky cliff, but also because of the spirit of the boy at that time. The road is muddy.

I never thought that after all these years, the realm is still very different, but the spirit is much higher.

He Xiaoliang said softly: "Chen Ping'an, do you know your temperament? Every time you walk a little higher, the more cautious you are, the more prudent you are, and you walk steadily. As long as the enemy sees the clue and kills your heart, you will be able to kill me." will be firmer."

"What, is this still my mistake?"

Chen Ping said with a smile: "Then I have to say something to Sect Master He. Do you think that if I don't climb up gradually, no one will just stick out a finger and run me over? The gain outweighs the loss, or the practice is based on the dog, and I can't get what I want. When I think of this, my good mood after meeting Sect Master He in a foreign land is even better."

He Xiaoliang seemed to say casually: "You think they were at fault first, then have you ever thought about the possibility that you did nothing wrong, but you are just a mistake?"

Chen Pingan still looked calm, "This kind of nonsense in the streets and alleys is actually not bothering Suzerain He. For so many years, in the vicinity of Niping Lane in my hometown, it is not just casually said by peers who are purely for fun. I mean, there are some bastards who talk about this on purpose, disgusting people, many elderly neighbors, many good people with good hearts, sometimes they look at me in the eyes, but they are actually saying similar words."

He Xiaoliang was silent for a long time.

The end of the alley.

He Xiaoliang stopped, "So you already knew the truth."

Chen Pingan said: "Sect Master He, what are you talking about, I don't quite understand."

He Xiaoliang smiled and said, "It's enough to understand in my heart."

Chen Ping asked back: "Enough?"

He Xiaoliang smiled and said, "It's not enough."

He Xiaoliang turned around and faced Chen Pingan, "I'll wait for you at the top of Haoran Tianxia Mountain, other than that, you and I will go our separate ways."

The reunion at the mouth of Jidu this time is both a chance encounter and an inevitability.

What He Xiaoliang wants to accomplish can often come true.

Unconvinced that her fate is profound, she obediently endured it.

Chen Ping got a better answer than expected, and said with a smile: "Then I won't send Congratulations to Sovereign."

He Xiaoliang said with a smile: "I didn't say I was going to leave immediately. As the suzerain, everything is worrying. It's rare to go out for a trip. When you meet a sweetheart who you can't let go of, shouldn't you cherish it?"

Chen Pingan said two names: "Xu Xuan, Li Zhou."

He Xiaoliang smiled sweetly, and said: "One can control your hands, and the other can control your mouth, so you won't be distracted."

Chen Pingan remained silent.

He Xiaoliang feigned surprise and said, "Why, is it still my fault?"

Chen Pingan really had the idea of ​​punching her to death.

He Xiaoliang was "understanding" and said: "I'm not good enough, let's drink together. Do you have any good wine? I have some of the best Xianjia wine in Luzhou, Beiju, and I will give it to you."

Chen Ping smiled and said: "It's a pity to beat Sect Master He to death with one punch. Don't be angry at Sect Master He when I talk nonsense like this."

Even if you can kill with one punch, you need two punches.

He Xiaoliang actually squinted his eyes and smiled, stretched out a hand and put it gently on his mouth, shook his head lightly and said: "Don't be angry, it is a good thing that we have a long-overdue sincerity between you and me. .”

Chen Pingan walked out of the alley, and He Xiaoliang, who had once again used his tricks, walked with him.The two sides are separated by a certain distance, and they still cannot be regarded as walking side by side.

Chen Pingan looked ahead, the streets were bustling with traffic, and asked, "When are you leaving?"

He Xiaoliang said: "Probably later than you think."

Chen Pingan asked: "He Xiaoliang, have you always been like this?"

He Xiaoliang smiled and said: "Aren't you the same? It's just that I knew myself from the beginning, and you, Chen Pingan, knew it later, so it was even more difficult."

The two walked out of the city and walked along Dadu towards the shore of the West Sea in Beiju Luzhou.

Chen Pingan boarded a high platform by the sea, and suddenly said: "He Xiaoliang, the Taoism you have been pursuing is like Ning Yao in my heart. Is it understandable?"

He Xiaoliang nodded and said, "Of course it's understandable, why is it so difficult. But the problem is that I don't want to accept this result."

Chen Ping looked into the distance and said nothing.

He Xiaoliang hesitated for a moment, squatted aside, and asked, "Since we stopped by earlier, why didn't you go to the academy?"

In fact, she had just left the academy not long ago.

Chen Ping twitched the corners of his mouth, clasped his hands lightly, put them on his knees, and lowered his sleeves naturally, "If Lu Chen died because of you, would you go to Bai Yujing and Sanmai avenues to have a look?"

He Xiaoliang was silent for a long time, and said slowly: "Chen Ping'an, in fact, until today, I didn't feel that being a Taoist couple with you is not a pass for me. It turns out that this is the best marriage in the world."

Chen Pingan took off the bamboo box, took out the Yangjian Gourd, sat cross-legged, drank slowly, and said for no reason, "The Dao shouldn't be so small."

For some reason, He Xiaoliang changed her mind. She stood up and left this place early. Before leaving, she turned to Chen Pingan who was leaning on the bamboo box and said, "Love between a man and a woman is a trivial matter after all."

Chen Pingan said indifferently: "This matter, let alone your master Lu Chen, it doesn't count if Daozu said it."

He Xiaoliang couldn't help laughing, and traveled far away in the wind.

----

Late last winter.

After Yuan Lingdian left the Dragon Palace Cave, Yufeng went northward, and suddenly fell to a top of a green mountain that was rarely visited by people.

There, Yuan Lingdian saw the master and a woman playing chess. The two sides used the easily refined mountain roots as sunspots, and condensed water into white pieces.

Yuan Lingdian gave a slap to both sides, and then stood beside Huolong Daoist, without even looking at the situation of the chess game, for fear of disturbing Daoist mind.

There are no real piano, chess, calligraphy and paintings at the foot of the mountain, because they are all lingering on the calligraphy.

Even if there are hundreds of schools on the mountain, the Jiuliu are divided into upper, middle and lower levels. Those who play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are not bad. Look down on painters, and painters look down on writers, and writers have no choice but to bring out the great merit of the sage's calligraphy, making noise and blushing, since ancient times.

Master Huolong picked up a chess piece, lightly buckled it on the criss-cross chessboard, and asked, "Is it just a Hate Sword Mountain imitation sword?"

Yuan Lingdian nodded, "I didn't do much."

Yuan Lingdian knew the master's intentions, because he was a pure martial artist in his early years, and even entered the remote realm with the strongest gold body, but he got the master's advice, so he gave up the gift, which can be regarded as accumulating a share for Beiju Luzhou. martial arts.In the end, with great perseverance, he gave up martial arts and concentrated on asking questions. The ups and downs during the process were better than ordinary Nascent Souls entering the upper five realms.

Yuan Lingdian knew that the master wanted to teach the other party's boxing techniques, but Yuan Lingdian was not very interested, and he didn't think that his instructions were really useful.

On Laidi Peak, unless Master Huolong clearly stated that the disciples should think and do what they should do, other disciples would have no problem thinking and doing whatever they wanted.

Master Huolong didn't say anything, obviously he had lost the chess game, but he suddenly smiled and said: "It's a bit difficult to survive from death."

Li Liu said: "The chessboard is so small, if you want to do it like this, you are looking for death."

Li Liu casually shattered the root of the mountain and returned to heaven and earth, and Huolong Daoist also put away the Daoyi chessboard.

Only then did Master Huolong ask: "What did you write in the Lion Peak letter you intercepted earlier?"

Li Liu answered the wrong question, and said: "Sure enough, as the real person said, it was Shuizheng Li Yuan who sent it, not asking Nanxun Shuidian to help, and it's not that he didn't write a letter and sent the letter directly to Lion Peak."

Huolong Daoist laughed and said: "So since you have taken the current path, you have a long way to go. It's not that others only have one lifetime. You, Li Liu, have accumulated so many lifetimes, so you must know the most and be the most right. Very good, lose the chess game, the chess game In addition, it has found a place for Pindao again."

Li Liu doesn't mind the winning or losing of any chess game, both inside and outside the game, it's too much experience, she doesn't even care about this life.

It is more like a journey of mountains and rivers.

Since Li Liu was born knowing it, of course he knows more, not only world affairs, but also all kinds of people's hearts that can be detected by human hearts.

Most of the statues in Taoist temples in the world are gold-plated, so old man Yang asked them, the remnants of prisoners, to do the opposite, to wrap a layer of human hearts first, even if they are pretending, they must go through the real world.

However, Li Liu also has something really caring about now. For example, the battle for the Great Dao that was turned upside down in the early years has kicked off again. completely.

Huolong Daoist made a move in the Water Dragon Sect chess game this time, apart from Chen Ping'an, he still had some intentions. Shen Lin's success came naturally, and for Sun Jie, the suzerain of the Water Dragon Sect, he said a few words about Li Yuan.

But in fact, the Huolong real person helped the three parties to overcome their respective difficulties. It is true, and he hoped that through some of Li Yuan's actions after enlightenment, he would say some "words" to Li Liu in front of him.

After all, in the matter of "being a human being", even Li Liu, who has lived for thousands of years, has always been a junior.

It's a pity that Li Yuan couldn't listen, and Huolong Daoist didn't want to interfere too much.

Yuan Lingdian felt a little emotional.

On the side of Zhongtu Shenzhou, the master has actually noticed the abnormal martial arts in the ancient battlefield of Jinjiazhou. In fact, for Chen Pingan, if he succeeds in martial arts as the victory of the chess game, then Chen Pingan and Zhongtu that A woman of the same age is a very delicate chess player.

Because there was an extra unintentional Cao Ci, it became more and more complicated.

If Cao Ci hadn't gone to the battlefield site, Shi Zaixi, a woman who entered the sixth realm of martial arts with the fifth strongest realm in the world, might have broken through the realm long ago, but she didn't get the word "strongest" because she was in Beijulu. Chen Ping'an in Zhouzhou has a more solid state and a stronger fist.But after Cao Ci appeared, Shi Zaixi was full of fighting spirit, and because of her competitive nature, she was so talented that she abruptly raised the bottleneck of martial arts, and she was determined to beat Cao Ciyi from the sixth realm to the seventh realm. Fist, even if only one punch touches the body, he is willing to break through.On the other hand, Chen Pingan, compared to women, his martial arts bottleneck was higher at first, so of course he had to hold his temper and break through slowly.

One drag, one slow.

It formed a chess game in which both sides played against each other at a distance but neither knew it.

True Huolong only knew that Shi Zaixi was in the ancient ruins of Jinjiazhou where the idol collapsed, and he heard that Cao Ci went there.

The situation and pattern were deduced one by one.

Huolong Daoist said with a smile: "If Shi Zaixi puts all his heart and soul into it, he can ignore the word "strongest", which is a non-cheesy atmosphere. Other pure warriors, maybe it is a bad thing that belongs to the downfall of the heart. Put it on her. It's the survival of death, and the freedom of the fist. Presumably this is what Cao Ci is willing to see, so he never left the ruins, and offered to help Shi Zaixi feed the fist. As far as the proud Shi Zaixi is concerned, it happens to be the best millstone in the world, otherwise it would definitely have no such effect in the face of a mountain peak's all-out tempering."

Yuan Lingdian nodded and said, "Shi Zaixi's real bottleneck earlier was not in his fist, but in his heart."

Then Yuan Lingdian said with a smile: "Actually, as long as Chen Ping'an is lucky, keep procrastinating, and don't break through before Shi Zaixi breaks the mirror. He is still the strongest sixth realm of a certain 'current', and he can still get a gift of martial arts." .”

"Pindao looks a bit suspenseful."

After Huolong Daoist finished the coffin, he turned his head and looked at this disciple, "I want you to send money to Fushui Island because I want you to tell Chen Pingan the fact that Wufu and Wufu speak their own language, which is better than an old man. It is more meaningful for the real person to speak with the monks of the three realms, and it is more meaningful to run to break the truth on the fist. As a teacher, I originally wanted to see if Chen Pingan would have a little luck in his heart. For that martial luck, he revealed a little Take the initiative to slow down

There is still a "survival from death" that is different from Shi Zaixi's way and has the same road. Chen Pingan has practiced boxing to death, not because of slackness, and fighting with people to the death is almost perfect. , Obviously, I can comfort myself with "manpower is exhausted", whether it is necessary to go to the dead end alley on the dead end road, and the childish punch breaks the wall of the alley, and fights a way out of my heart. "

Yuan Lingdian smiled wryly, feeling a little guilty, "It's the disciple who delayed the master. The disciple will return to the Dragon Palace Cave right now?"

Master Huolong smiled and said: "Forget it, everything is in its own right, let nature take its course. Do you think that it will be a good thing if you say this? Chen Pingan will definitely be able to fight for the strongest one? Will there be any sequelae? A person who refuses to accept fate every time, thinks that the pursuit of perfection is good, and on the way of practice, will die. Fight for the strongest six, and if you win six, you will fight for seven. If you win seven or eight, it should be me That's right, eight is mine, whoever fights with me for nine, should die? Is it the battle for the great way? It's just the wrath of people gnashing their teeth all the way. When did the martial arts become so low?"

Li Liu shook his head and said, "The truth is too extreme."

Daoist Huolong also shook his head, "A pure person should kill extreme truth as soon as possible."

Yuan Lingdian didn't have any doubts about this truth.

Cao Ci did a good job. On the road of martial arts, I am superior to myself, but I don't stop others from climbing high. If there is a chance, I will help others, just like helping Shi Zaixi to sharpen his realm.

This is also one of the reasons why Cao Ci was able to be "invincible" in Shenzhou, China.

It's not just because his master is the Valkyrie Pei Bei, he is protecting Cao Ci from being accidentally killed by monks in the upper five realms.Otherwise, the great dynasty that was destroyed would have more than one or two upper five-level monks.Killing you Pei Bei is an extravagant hope, but killing your disciple Cao Ci who traveled to other continents is not too difficult, at least there is a chance.

Cao Ci's own thoughts and actions are the greatest guardians.For example, this time I traveled to Jinjiazhou with my friend Liu Youzhou. The God of Wealth in Aiaizhou is willing to take Cao Ci's life seriously. Is he the same as his son Liu Youzhou? It seems that the God of Wealth made a choice after weighing the pros and cons. , or Cao Ci's own decision.

Most of the true pure warriors in the Divine Continent of Middle Earth are willing to offer more or less kindness to Cao Ci, perhaps chatting behind the scenes, saying a few good words for this junior, and maybe even personally taking action to dispel some crisis ripples.

How to turn bad into good is a skill, and adding good to good is even more skill.

What really sees everything in the world is not the eyes, but the heart.

When looking at Cao Ci, he only sees his unprecedented aptitude, and only sees his master Pei Bei standing behind him.

This is why the eyes are very useful, and the heart is closing the door.

Li Liu was probably used to confronting Huolong Daoist, and said with a smile: "These principles are not applicable to many people."

Huolong Daoist laughed loudly and said: "Talk about things based on facts, judge people based on people, don't use people to destroy everything, don't use one thing to destroy the whole person, right and wrong, right and wrong, then there will be less confusion."

Li Liu said, "It's difficult."

Yuan Lingdian nodded and said, "Master is right."

If you don't help the master, do you still help outsiders?

What's more, Yuan Lingdian felt that Master was more reasonable.

In the end, Huolong Daoist asked with a smile: "Then I will ask you as a teacher. Do you think this Cao Ci, and now our young No.1 from Luzhou in Beiju, when and where did they ask questions?"

In Yuan Lingdian's heart, he is a cultivator who is used to speaking in terms of "vigor".After so many years of cultivating the mind and character, in fact, it is still not perfect enough, so it has been stagnant at the bottleneck of the Jade Raw Realm.It doesn't mean that Yuan Lingdian is an arrogant and domineering person, there should be Taoism and reason in Liandi Peak, Yuan Lingdian has never lost the slightest bit, in fact, after going down the mountain to practice, it means that Xuanfeng Yuan Lingdian is the one with the best reputation in the same sect, but it's just that he was taken by Huolong Daoist The one who punishes the most and the heaviest.

Yuan Lingdian thought for a while, then smiled and said: "Naturally, Cao Ci is unprecedented. When he meets someone who will come later, he will stand by his side, or not far behind him. Not only that, but those who come later will have a chance to surpass Cao Ci. After a while, is the key to revealing Cao Ci's true heart. As for Lin Su, who is sure to win as long as he chooses to fight against the enemy, he will suffer a lot when he loses once solidly."

Master Huolong nodded, seemed to agree with these two answers, and asked again: "What about you, Lingdian, why can't you break through the realm? There are Taoist monks like you who have the cultivation base of a fairy but are in the realm of jade Is it? The teacher widened his eyes and looked around, but he didn't find a few."

Yuan Lingdian said: "Naturally, there is more than enough cultivation power, but not enough cultivation of heart."

Daoist Huolong smiled, "Because you had too much energy in the early stage of cultivation, thought too little, and broke through too quickly. It seems that compared with the senior sisters and brothers of Taixia and Baiyun, I don't understand the true meaning of the depths of Taoism." At least? Or was he punished too much by the teacher later, and felt that even if he was not wrong, he just didn’t expect it, so he kept pondering and scrutinizing, and closed the door to reflect on what was wrong? When I figured it out, it was time to break through ?”

Yuan Lingdian nodded and admitted, "Indeed."

"Have you ever thought about the possibility that you are thinking that you are wrong? Are you going around on that wrong road?"

Daoist Huolong sighed and said, "Idiot! In the world, masters and disciples can only help them guide the way and take the shortcut? The master is not allowed to set up many passes on the road, so that although the direction is right, it is difficult for the disciple to travel? So that the disciple’s heart to ask can be firmer?”

Yuan Lingdian looked aggrieved for the first time, "Master's Taoism is so high, and his knowledge is so great, I don't want to question it."

Daoist Huolong pointed at this disciple of Xuanfeng, and said angrily: "Go and ask the young man from Fushui Island, if he has such an idea at such a young age, even his most respected Mr. Qi Jingchunqi, it may not matter." All the truths are right?! You ask him if he dares to think so! Do you dare to think about the principles of sages and sages outside the lineage of Wensheng, but you are not afraid to overwhelm the earliest principles?!"

"Lingdian, if you only think that the truths in the world are all in the master, and the disciples can only learn a lot, then the disciples pass it on to the disciples, and the disciples pass it on again, how many truths are there left in the world? You Yuan Lingdian even I don’t dare to think about this. After 600 years of hard work, doesn’t it mean that the light grows and the strength does not grow the Taoist heart?! What’s wrong, as a teacher, Lai Difeng needs the coolies of moving mountains, carrying soil, chopping firewood and burning charcoal, and you have Yuan Lingdian. A whole body of tendon?"

Yuan Lingdian glanced at Master's slightly dangling sleeves, and said cautiously: "Master, don't be angry, just speak up if you have something to say."

Li Liu said: "Yuan Zhixuan said 'I don't want', but didn't say I dare not, real person, don't patronize yourself and reason, you have wronged Yuan Zhixuan."

Yuan Lingdian almost died of anger, it would be a disservice without you, Li Liu.

Yuan Lingdian knows the master's temper best.After all, Yuan Lingdian has suffered the most beatings among all the disciples. He, Yuan Zhixuan, claims to be the second in Liedi Peak, and no one dares to say that he is the first.

"Don't want to be worse than that! Don't dare, I have thought about it after all, but I haven't gone out yet."

Sure enough, Huolong Daoist was furious, and finally said coldly: "Go to the Taoshan Grottoes to retreat for ten years, and then leave after you have figured it out!"

Yuan Lingdian was silent for a moment, then he sighed in his heart, ten years is nothing, he dozed off, closed his eyes and opened them again, and it passed, but he lost face, Master's trip, once he went out of the mountain and then returned, the result was only I need to roll up my bed and go from Zhixuan Peak to Taoshan Grotto to be grounded, so the two senior brothers Baiyun and Taoshan have to go outside the cave every now and then to make tea and drink leisurely?I have to ask, is he thirsty?

Yuan Lingdian suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and said softly: "Master, this disciple has made an appointment with the mountain peak, and we will go down the mountain together at a certain time, so I can help him fulfill a wish."

Daoist Huolong no longer had a sullen face, smiled slightly, hummed, and said kindly: "Although it's my fault, but I don't have the heart to win or lose with myself. If there is a senior brother who can help, I will never be vague. On the surface, I admit that the world is small." It is not as good as the big world outside, but in fact, the human heart is not inferior to the heavenly heart. This is the clear mind that a cultivator should have, very good, very good. Since

In this way, Lingdian, you don’t have to go to the Taoshan Grottoes, stay by the mountain peak, protect the way for the younger brother with your heart, remember not to reveal your identity, you only travel at the foot of the mountain. "

Yuan Lingdian gave a slap in the face, "Master, don't worry."

Hey, it's Baiyun Taoshan's turn to envy themselves now.

Yuan Lingdian was afraid that Master would take back his promise if he went back on his word, so he immediately turned away.

Li Liu said: "Yuan Zhixuan has already figured it out. After going down the mountain, the day he returns to the mountain should be the time when he retreats and breaks through."

Master Huolong nodded: "So it doesn't matter whether you go to face the wall of Taoshan Grottoes or not."

Huolong Daoist should use the most acceptable principles to Yuan Lingdian, follow the guidance carefully, and preach for him.

Otherwise, Huolong Daoist is just using the master to guide his disciples, and preaching the Jade Realm with the peak of the Ascension Realm. It is not impossible, but it is not very useful, and there will be many hidden dangers.

The truth is not as simple as a few words, but after the listener has heard it, they really open their hearts. Apart from other people's few words, they think more about themselves, and finally get a Dao fit.

Li Liu said with a smile: "Yuan Zhixuan has a high level of comprehension, if you don't deliberately suppress his xinxing, there is hope that he will enter the Ascension Realm sooner."

Huolong Daoist said with emotion: "There is no way, this kid's congenital temperament is too jumpy, you have to hold him down, otherwise he will be prone to wind, this is a trivial matter, once Yuan Lingdian breaks the realm too quickly, except for his own state of mind. The rest of the brothers, it is inevitable that a little bit of Taoism will be broken, this is the big deal. A Huolong Daoist is already a mountain in the heart, and there is another Yuan Zhixuan, it is a person, and it will feel uncomfortable. It's not necessary, just to get one more Ascension Realm, let Yuan Lingdian rush to take the lead, it should belong to him, and he can't run away. Otherwise, Pindao will not be in Lidifeng one day in the future, and with Yuan Lingdian's temper, he has to take the initiative With the burden on his body, he didn't cultivate his mind enough, and the principles of the other brothers and sisters are going to be small. Those who speak and listen will subconsciously think so. The mansion is rotten, a pool of deep but dead water, the rules are left on paper and left to eat ashes in the Patriarch Hall, but failed to fall on the hearts of the monks."

Li Liu said: "It is very important for any founder of the mountain to establish the rules."

Master Huolong nodded and said: "Of course, for example, the sword fairy Baishang and others all have their own roots, and they will naturally follow Baishang's ideas to spread their branches and leaves, blossom and bear fruit, and can become the ancestors of the fairy family with the prefix Zongzi. , who doesn't have their own set of perfect rules, the key depends on who is more slender and long-flowing, the door hinges are not wormy, and the wind gathers water. However, in the matter of the master guiding the way and the disciple walking, the poor lying on the ground can afford it. There is rarely such a saying in the world, and now there is a lack of one that can help Lidifeng to make further progress."

Li Liu smiled and said, "Zhang Shanfeng?"

Master Huolong said: "It can only be said that the mountain peak has the greatest hope, but I hope that senior brothers like Yuan Lingdian can do it too. However, the poor way treats the disciples and grandchildren inside and outside the Lidi Peak, and gives everyone hope. , so you can’t see anyone else.”

Li Liu shook his head and said, "You are standing and talking without pain in your back. Would you like to think of it as an Earth Immortal cultivator, the suzerain of the Jade Pudding Realm?"

Huolong Daoist smiled, and asked back: "Why did Poor Dao force others to think so?"

Finally, Huolong Daoist said in a deep voice: "But you have to be clear, if no one is willing to think like this when you are a monk in the poor way, then the world will be in trouble."

Li Liu smiled playfully: "Not good?"

Huolong Daoist said: "On the small game of chess between you and me, it doesn't matter if you lose a few games, even thousands of games. But in the chess game of the world, if you don't talk big here, you really can't win."

Li Liu smiled and said, "We don't care."

Huolong Daoist said: "Coincidentally, we have something to say.

Li Liu is about to leave for the Dragon Palace Cave.

Beiju Luzhou has reached the official stage. Lion Peak, Dayuan Dynasty Chongxuan Department Yang, and Water Dragon Sect are all chess pieces. In fact, more chess pieces are her unreasonable hands. Leaving some chess pieces that fell on the board according to the rules, there are not many left.

Jidu Lingyuangong and Longtinghou, she can only get one of them.

Originally, Shen Lin in Nanxun Water Palace and Li Yuan in Jidu Middle Temple were the main water gods. Everyone had the hope of becoming this incomparably revered water god, and it was even more logical for Li Yuan.

It's just that Li Liu "doesn't matter", it's her business, and you little Shuizheng has been indifferent for thousands of years, so what's the matter?If it wasn't for Huolong Daoist who was willing to chat with Li Yuan a few more times, at the beginning of the previous chess game, he also said a few words, she will go to the Dragon Palace this time, and she will slap her down, so that Li Yuan's golden body will be shattered, and she will return as a water transport Jealousy.For a new Shuizheng who is willing to protect the Water Dragon Sect, the Water Dragon Sect will only be more grateful to Dade.

Huolong real person suddenly said: "Li Liu, let's start a new round, you surrender and lose half, how about it?"

Of course Li Liu didn't want to play another game of chess.

It was originally Huolong Daoist who deliberately waited for Yuan Lingdian here, and then had nothing to do, just pulling her to play a game of chess.After all, the practice of a monk at the peak of the Ascension Realm is no longer based on his original heart, let alone absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Huolong Daoist has many words that seem to be stepping on watermelon rinds and saying wherever he goes. The meaning is not only to give advice to his disciple Yuan Lingdian, but also as a friend, to clarify with her Li Liu, sort out the context of the big and small peaks, and help Li Liu pays more attention to people's hearts.However, this is the first time that Huolong Daoist has been straightforward, proclaiming the real relationship between the two sides who are both enemies and friends.

Then there was Li Liu's trip back to the Dragon Palace Cave.

Again, Li Yuan got a "Three Feet of Rain" jade plaque, but Shen Lin got the final result of the future Jidu Lingyuan God.

Shen Lin couldn't believe it, and Li Yuan beat his chest even more.

As for whether Li Yuan knew that he was destined to die in the first place, there would be someone in Jidu Middle Temple impersonating him as Shuizheng, but he was saved by Huolong Daoist, and the Chilong Jade Plaque was also obtained because of Chen Pingan. Maybe Li Yuan is still kept in the dark, confused.To say it's so bad, Li Yuan didn't do much after all, he seemed to lie down and enjoy the blessings, he did a few trivial things as ordered, and got a jade card that condensed incense for nothing. Lai always resigned himself to doing nothing, and lost the position of God Lingyuan, who will be the first water god in Beiju Luzhou in the future.

----

Huolong Daoist stayed on the top of the mountain, alone, thinking of some past events of Chen Zhima and rotten millet, which was quite sad.

Some belong to the family of Padifeng, some belong to the Beiju Luzhou at the foot, and some belong to the whole Haoran world.

When the old man thought about this, he would feel sleepy. He stomped his foot and came here from Padi Peak, but now he stomped again and returned to the top of Padi Peak.

Once I dozed off, the snow would fall on the Bodi Peak, and the little ones would have fun playing snowball fights.

Zhang Shanfeng was squatting in the square, surrounded by a large circle of young Taoist boys, nephews and nephews. Most of them were new faces, but Zhang Shanfeng was familiar with children.The young Taoist priest is now telling them about the difficulty of slaying demons at the foot of the mountain. The little guys are all listening, pricking up their ears, widening their eyes, and clenching their fists. Jing, anxious wow, why did the little master only talk about the power of those monsters and their tricks, but he hasn't talked about the monster who is flying around with a mahogany sword and who is so happy to give his head?

Zhang Shanfeng stopped talking, raised his head, and said with a smile, "Master, are you back?"

The little Taoist boys were all in good spirits, saluting the patriarch grandpa. One of the brave ones secretly tugged at the sleeve of the Taoist uncle's Taoist robe. Zhang Shanfeng looked around, nodded vigorously, and winked at him.

Zhang Shanfeng then said: "Master, the Chinese New Year is almost here at the foot of the mountain. It's outrageous that there is no snow in the winter."

Daoist Huolong walked up to them, reached out and touched the little head of a little Taoist boy, and said with a smile: "Then the patriarch, grandpa, work hard and take a nap? In his sleep, he and God

Do you want a heavy snow? "

These little Taoist boys with childlike innocence and fun are all in unison.

When the patriarch and grandpa dozed off, there would be snow on the mountain.

This is an old rule passed down by word of mouth from the generation of Master Lidifeng and older brothers.

Huolong Daoist smiled at Zhang Shanfeng: "After Senior Brother Yuan returns to the mountain, he will go down the mountain with you to fulfill his wish."

Zhang Shanfeng was stunned for a moment, "I begged Senior Brother Baiyun for this matter, and Senior Brother Baiyun also agreed, so there is nothing wrong with Senior Brother Yuan."

Master Huolong scolded with a smile: "This little bastard, even deceived his own master."

The little Taoist boys opened their mouths wide.

The patriarch and grandpa will also swear?

Huolong Daoist was a little helpless, and walked away, looking for a place to sleep.

Zhang Shanfeng began to help the master clean up the mess, and said to the little guys earnestly: "Don't swear casually like your ancestors and grandpas."

A little Taoist boy put his arms around his chest and said angrily: "On the mountain, the patriarch and grandpa are the highest, what's wrong with scolding people."

Zhang Shanfeng pinched the guy's ear, lifted it up lightly, Xiao Daotong let out a hey, quickly stood on tiptoe, and begged for mercy: "Little uncle, please don't hit anyone casually, I know I'm wrong."

After Zhang Shanfeng let go of his hand with a smile, Xiao Daotong said angrily: "My master said that if you don't respect your elders, your ass will bloom. Be careful, little uncle."

Zhang Shanfeng squatted down and continued to tell the story down the mountain.

The little nephew listened very attentively, and suddenly complained: "Little uncle, isn't there a good one of the monsters and goblins down the mountain? If that's the case, why are the patriarchs and uncles just letting them go?" Do something bad?"

Zhang Shanfeng smiled, "Well, of course there is a theory. When my friend comes to our house as a guest, my uncle will ask him to tell you. There are many interesting landscape stories with him."

A little Taoist boy shook his head vigorously and said, "I think it's definitely not as good as my little uncle!"

Zhang Shanfeng shook his hands, and said with a bright smile: "Tell me some big truths. Turn around and it's snowing, let's have a snowball fight together, my little uncle will form an alliance with you."

The little boy immediately refused, "Don't even think about it!"

I heard from the seniors that every time there is a snowball fight, the junior uncle is the one who suffers the most from being hit by snowballs, because he is the tallest and runs fast, so he won't get angry even if he gets hit.

Zhang Shanfeng stretched out his hand and tugged at the collar of the Taoist robe, and said solemnly: "Don't you dare to respect my little uncle? Are you not afraid of being spanked by your master?"

The little boy wrinkled his face and said softly, "Master passed away last year."

Zhang Shanfeng was stunned for a moment, sighed, then pointed to the little Taoist boy, and said with a soft smile, "Actually, he didn't leave, don't you still remember Master?"

Xiao Daotong lowered his head, his eyes were red, and he hummed, "That's what Master said when he left. Please don't cry, and say that as long as you think about Master, Master will not leave. You don't need to think about it often. It's good to think about it occasionally. He also said that when I think of Master, I won’t be so sad, I will grow up, and at that time, I can go down the mountain to kill demons and demons. Little uncle, it’s been so long, it’s been more than a year , I'm still very sad."

Zhang Shanfeng thought about it, but he still couldn't say anything to comfort him.

When I was young, the days seemed to pass by on the fingers of one day.

Bigger, month by month, every year passes by.

If you become a cultivator on the mountain, after reaching a high level, ten or a hundred years will seem to be fleeting, how many people around you can you remember?How many people can count as people around you?

Zhang Shanfeng once asked Master many questions, but Huolong Daoist often said that the questions had no answers, the questions themselves were the answers, and many seemingly answers were the next question.

Zhang Shanfeng didn't feel that Master was perfunctory himself, so he was even more at a loss.

Is Master's Taoism high?

Of course not high.

Because Master's Taoism is not on the mountain, but in the sky, it is in the human world at the foot of the mountain.

A little Taoist boy asked curiously: "Little uncle, what do you think?"

Zhang Shanfeng was about to speak.

A little guy said softly: "I must be secretly missing the beautiful girl down the mountain."

Another Xiaodao boy said, "Just tell the truth."

Zhang Shanfeng chuckled, "Let's not show the previous landscape story of slaying demons and killing demons, let's listen to the next chapter to break it down. The little uncle will tell you a more exciting bottom story first."

Unexpectedly, there was a little Taoist boy who immediately said to his companions: "Don't be afraid, the little uncle is definitely trying to scare us with ghost stories."

Zhang Shanfeng looked at this little bastard who was smarter than the other, and the little Taoist boys around him seemed to be more difficult to serve than those little nephews before going down the mountain.

Zhang Shanfeng had no choice but to take out his trump card and shouted loudly: "Master, why isn't it snowing yet?"

The old man was sitting on the edge of a distant cliff and taking a nap, he said with a smile, "If you go to the latrine, you have to have a full meal first."

All the little Taoist boys looked at this little martial uncle pitifully, and felt that the little martial uncle didn't seem to have a bright mind.

Zhang Shanfeng stood up, "Forget it, I'll teach you how to box."

There were boos and all ran away.

No snow, no stories, no wild fruits in the mountains in winter, and no one's buttocks bloomed by the masters, so the little master is useless.

Zhang Shanfeng suddenly noticed that a little guy stopped in his tracks and didn't leave.

Zhang Shanfeng was already satisfied, smiled and waved: "Okay, okay, my little uncle will teach you boxing alone."

The Xiaodao boy laughed, hummed and punched, and then ran away after saying "Is the little uncle learned?"

Zhang Shanfeng scratched his head.

This little master nephew is cunning, the little master uncle can't handle it.

----

At dusk, the market town at the foot of Lion Peak.

A young foreigner in a green shirt and a bamboo box with walking sticks walked into a cloth shop with a good business.

A woman who was greeting guests turned her head and caught a glimpse of a guest coming to the door, she said with a smile: "Oh, this little handsome man, come to choose silk and satin for your daughter-in-law, to make a beautiful dress?"

Chen Pingan said with a smile in his hometown dialect: "Aunt Liu, my name is Chen Pingan, and I live in Niping Lane."

The woman was stunned for a moment, "That Chen Ping'an that my Huai Wa'er always talked about?"

Chen Pingan nodded, holding some big and small bags of gifts in his hand, all bought from shops in small towns.

The woman hurriedly put aside the business at hand, let a few well-to-do women in small towns choose their own fabrics, brought a bench for Chen Pingan, and greeted: "Sit, sit quickly, Li Huai's father has gone up the mountain, what? I can't be sure when I come back, but as long as there are no fox spirits on the mountain, I will definitely come back before dark at the latest, but let me see, there are really fox spirits who have become spirits, and they can't look down on this wooden lump, right? It's just me back then Lard was fooled, so he fell in love with Li Er blindly."

The woman sat on the other side of the bench, and she was no stranger to Chen Pingan, "Ni Ping Lane, I know, is very close to the iron lock well, a small alley with not many people, and there is a young widow at the end of the alley, who Slightly worse than me, not far from Mud Ping Lane, you should know about that old woman in Xinghua Lane, right? The older the old lady, the more sinister her mouth is. Even the little widow of the Gu family in Niping Lane, who can make the dead alive, can't beat this wife and aunt."

Chen Pingan gently put the gifts behind the counter, took off the bamboo box and put it at his feet, let the walking stick slantly, leaned sideways, quietly, and patiently smiled as he listened to the woman talking about her hometown.

The woman suddenly slapped her thigh, "My Li Liu is so heartless, have you seen him? He probably hasn't met his eyes yet, hey, Chen Pingan, you don't know, our girl rebelled, this If not for the fairy master on the mountain, when he became a tea-serving maid, he immediately forgot about his parents and ran out from time to time, so he didn’t come home for a long time, anyway, he was really going to be abducted by the glib outside, I I don't feel sorry for it, just treat it as a waste of raising such a girl, but I feel sorry for my family Li Huai, so I can't count on my sister and brother-in-law."

Chen Pingan and the woman said with a smile: "Li Huai will be successful in studying. I know that Li Huai is not fast at studying, but he has stamina. The most important thing is that this child has a good heart. He follows his uncle and aunt and is kind. This is not true. I read it from a book. In addition, Miss Li is now a fairy on the mountain. She has no worries about food and clothing, at least she doesn’t need it. I believe she will be able to find a good family who can talk to her in the future. We are lucky. Those of us who come from the market, live our lives, and we can only distinguish between high and low by looking back. Add a bottle and can today, and save a table for the Eight Immortals tomorrow, and slowly add things to our home. If things are the same, life will naturally be rich."

The woman smiled, this young man, looking at Jun, is still so good at talking, and it's not some fancy and beautiful words, but the truth that even she thinks makes sense.

Besides, to be able to protect Li Huai so wholeheartedly all the way, where can people go?Although judging by the appearance of his clothes, this young man from his hometown does not look like the kind of person who has made a fortune, but as long as he is honest, he can treat Li Huai so well when he is not brother-in-law Li Huai. Don't be more heartbroken, but can you help Li Huai?

How about matching Chen Pingan and his daughter?As soon as the woman thought of this, she began to look at the young man who came from afar with the eyes of a mother-in-law and a son-in-law. It was not bad, it was cleaned up, and it looked like a young man who was careful and considerate. People, it's not that she can't feel sorry for the child named Lin Shouyi in the academy, it's really a woman who always feels that the two are so far apart, the capital of Sui Dynasty is so busy, how can there be no beautiful women, Lin Shouyi If one day he changed his mind, would it be possible that his daughter would become an old maid without a marriage?This girl Li Liu, like her own mother, is good-looking, but the woman knows that it is not a big deal for a girl to be good-looking, so she finds a heartless man if she doesn't let her mind down. The worse the heart is, the more angry it is, it will only lead to a sparse life. After seven or eight years, I guess I dare not look in the mirror.

The more she looked at it, the happier she was. It really wasn't because she was fickle. Dong Shuijing, who used to help the family with chores in the early years, was of course honest and responsible, but she always felt a little bit off the hook early in the morning. Lin Shouyi said that It's the seeds of studying, and she feels that she can't climb high, but she has heard that this kid's father was an errand in the supervisory yamen, and the official is not young. Besides, he can move to the capital. Can the threshold be lowered?Li Liuzhen has been married, how can such a silly girl who doesn't know the world know how to be angry?In the future, don't you want Li Huai to run around and be looked down upon by the gatekeeper, right?

How could Chen Pingan think of what Aunt Liu was planning. Seeing that the elder smiled and said nothing, afraid of being left alone, he took the initiative to talk about family matters.

Chen Ping suddenly turned his head, looked away again, and said with a smile, "Auntie, Uncle Li is back."

The woman leaned over and looked outside the gate, she really came back, and said with a smile: "It's time for dinner too, Auntie will cook you a home-cooked meal."

The woman stood up and habitually shouted loudly: "Li Er!"

A man immediately trotted up.

The woman complained: "Didn't you see Chen Ping'an coming to our house? It took a long time to walk home, and it was like picking up money on the ground outside."

Li Er smiled and stepped over the threshold, "Here we come."

Chen Pingan had already stood up and called "Uncle Li".

Seeing that Li Er was going to sit in her seat, the woman said angrily: "Go buy wine, are you saving your private money to buy rouge and gouache for those vixens?"

Li Er said sullenly: "I never have any money in my pocket."

The woman slapped the counter heavily, "Take the money from the drawer, and hurry to buy two jugs of good wine. After buying the wine, let Chen Ping live in the room prepared for Li Huai, and think about whether there are any missing items." , when I bought wine, I bought everything together."

When she turned her head to look at Chen Ping'an, the woman changed her smile, "Chen Ping'an, when you get here, it's like you're at home. You're too polite. My aunt will be angry."

Chen Ping smiled and said, "Don't be polite with auntie, a plate of fried pork with winter bamboo shoots is a must."

The woman smiled and said, "Yes, there must be."

Li Er took the money and left the shop with Chen Pingan.

They are all owned by neighbors and folks in the village, and it is at the foot of Lion Peak, so there is no need to worry about accidents if no one is looking at the shop.

The two were walking on the gradually deserted street, and Chen Pingan asked softly: "Uncle Li, do you know that Li Xisheng on Fulu Street is Li Baoping's eldest brother, where is he in Beiju Luzhou now?"

Li Er said: "I know, this person visited me with a strange school boy before. I will tell you in detail later."

Chen Pingan breathed a sigh of relief.

Otherwise, it's really hard to find yourself.

Li Er hesitated for a moment, looked around, finally looked somewhere, frowned, and then punched him.

In the whole street, only Chen Ping'an was vaguely aware of some signs.

It is estimated that even if someone happened to stare at Li Er nearby, they would not be able to see Li Er punching.

Then, in the sea of ​​clouds far away, there was a dull thunder that could be heard in the small town.

After punching, Li Er didn't explain anything, just said: "Li Xisheng asked me to tell you, before going to him, I must tell you one thing, the peach charm he gave you back then was not a random act, Of course, you confiscated it in the end, and then he drew a talisman for the Luopo Mountain Bamboo Building, which is to break a big karma related to you, so Li Xisheng wants you not to be grateful, and if you can't do it, then you don't need to look for him."

Chen Pingan nodded and said, "Okay."

Li Er arrived at a wine shop on the corner of the street, bought two jugs of the most expensive wine with the shopkeeper, and said, "Drink your name."

A young drinker asked with a smile: "Li Er, your Li Liu didn't go down the mountain? Could it be that Miss Li is used to staying in the fairy mansion on the mountain, so she can't see the kennel down the mountain?"

Li Er ignored him.

On the way back, Li Er nodded and smiled and said, "Your sixth level is very strong."

Chen Pingan would not have too many taboos on Li Er's side, and said: "In a place to the east of Jidu, I was instructed by Senior Gu You to punch three times."

Li Er hummed, but quickly said: "The three punches are still a little short."

Chen Pingan said: "There is no way. At that time, Senior Gu wanted to go to the appointment, and fight with Senior Ji Yue from Yuantiao Mountain."

In that fight, Li Er didn't join in the fun and watch.

Because there is no need.

Li Er said: "It's okay, I don't lack food on the table here, and I have fists too."

Chen Pingan thought for a while, "Let's talk about it when we are full."

Li Er rarely showed a serious look, turned his head and asked, "I have to know one thing first, what do I ask for? The word strongest?"

Chen Ping shook his head and said with a smile: "From the first day of practicing boxing, I have never asked for this. During the period, because of other people's relationship, I also thought about the strongest and martial arts, but in the end I found that the two are not actually related to fighting."

Li Er continued to look at Chen Pingan.

Chen Pingan continued: "If you only rely on yourself to practice boxing, whether it is heart energy or strength, and your own boxing will reach the extreme, then this matter, since you know Uncle Li, of course you can ask for it once. I don't care about martial arts, but I must Break through the realm with a heavier fist. Simply put, this golden body must be the golden body above my Chen Pingan's ultimate physique. I only strive for this."

Li Er didn't say anything about boxing training, but grinned and said, "Your Aunt Liu won't agree if you don't eat enough as a guest. If she doesn't agree, I dare not leave the table to clean up the dishes."

Chen Ping smiled lightly and said, "That's great."

Only then did Li Er pat Chen Ping'an on the shoulder, "I'll say this after I've had enough food and punches."
