Cultivate the evil ways of the world

There is a pine and cypress in the courtyard, which grows very well, and it looks lush in this weather. Two snowflakes floated at night, hanging on the green pine needles, which is also pleasing to the eye.

The ground is also covered with a thin layer of snow, the weather is not very cold, this is probably the last snow this year.

Shao Riwan, dressed in white, floated in mid-air, and swooped down towards Wei Changze with a long sword.

His sword intent is excellent, and there is no flaw in every move.

Wei Changze drew out his long sword, swung it to block it, fell backwards, almost touching the ground, and suddenly rubbed forward, avoiding him out of thin air.

Shao Riwan fell to the ground and turned around abruptly, a silver light flashed, directly aiming at Wei Changze's chest and abdomen.

Wei Changze fought and retreated, and the two of them had gone through several moves in an instant, the long sword in their hands was flying back and forth, and only an afterimage could be seen.

Wei Changze's reaction speed was extremely fast, but Shao Riwan's swordsmanship was extremely rigorous, and there was almost nothing he could fault. He practiced hard for many years and was very demanding, and at this time he finally achieved results.

The two had gone through a hundred moves, Shao Riwan's wrist suddenly flipped, and he locked Wei Changze's sword with his long sword. He wanted to lure him away, but Wei Changze threw the sword away, smiled at him and opened his hand. .

Shao Riwan hastily withdrew his sword momentum, lost strength for a moment and fell forward, just in time to be caught by him.

Wei Changze said: "Tsk tsk, throw yourself into your arms, this is it."

Shao Riwan pushed him away, and said angrily: "Change a trick? How about something new?"

Every sparring ends like this, and the two have yet to decide the winner.

Wei Changze said ruffianally, "It's not about new recruiting, it's just about being useful. It turns out that this is what you're used to."

Shao Riwan: "...Get lost."

The next few days went smoothly, without encountering any difficulties, Wei Changze insisted on not having any luck, and even survived until there were only 12 people left.

The rest of the road will become more and more difficult to walk.

Shao Riwan received a letter from his family yesterday, which was a little weird, telling him not to go home for now.

It's really not peaceful these days, he feels uneasy, his parents will never tell him not to go home for no reason, maybe there is something hidden.

There are a lot of people coming and going these days, and I heard some gossip that there have been changes in the court, and political turmoil is imminent.

It was only then that Shao Riwan remembered that it seemed to have been mentioned in the book, but he didn't expect that the things mentioned in the book would really cause a lot of troubles at this time.

Wei Changze told him that it was mostly because of Yan Yin, and the business of private salt entailed such risks. The first thing kings wanted was power and money, and more than half of the money came from salt and taxes.

Excessive taxation and miscellaneous taxes consume the hearts of the people, so the first to start is the road of private salt.

What's more, Shao Changzhong is very popular. If someone covets the money and power in his hands, it is most appropriate to take advantage of this opportunity.

He had nowhere to reason.

Shao Riwan was still thinking about going back to see if there was anything he could be of help to, Wei Changze said directly: "Then I'll admit defeat in the next round and go with you." Cang Hongmen

Shao Riwan felt that this arrangement was very reasonable.

As a result, that night, Wei Changze drew Fang Mo.

Both of them felt that this was probably fate.

Fang Mo has not yet established himself this year. He is just a young man in his 20s.

On the day of the lottery, Wei Changze was the second player, and Fang Mo drew him.

At the moment when the glazed ball revealed his name, Wei Changze clearly saw the man's eyes light up, and he glanced in this direction.

Wei Changze: ...

Strong people are always attracted to each other, even if he pretends to be a professional, he can only be a monk with a golden core cultivation level or lower.

Fang Mo came off the stage and walked directly towards him.

Wei Changze nodded and said, "I've been looking forward to it for a long time."

Fang Mo cupped his hands solemnly and said, "I am cultivating Huademen Fang Mo."

"Wei Buji."

Fang Mo said with a smile: "To be honest, I have seen many friends' competitions in the past few days, and I admire them very much. I thought that it would be beneficial if I could compete with you. I didn't expect that today I really got my wish."

Wei Changze: "..."

So eager, it can be a little awkward to throw in the towel.

Fang Mo said: "I appreciate your Taoism quite a lot. I have borrowed too much spiritual power from the world, and I use my true energy to fight against the enemy every now and then. It's a waste of everything."

"I didn't mean that," Wei Changze said honestly, "I've been hurt a bit, so I don't need to be really angry."

"...," Fang Mo said, "...haha, is that so?"

Wei Changze: "That's right."

Fang Mo paused and said: "I... originally wanted to ask fellow Taoists to try their best with me, but now..."

Wei Changze said, "I'm afraid I'll disappoint you."

Fang Mo smiled shyly: "It's okay, I think you and I will benefit from the battle no matter what."

"You are already very good," Wei Changze said casually, "Our paths are different."

"Tao follows nature," Fang Mo said earnestly, "everything is connected, and in the end, it will all become one."

Wei Changze froze for a moment, just as he was about to pick up the teacup in his hand, he put it down again, and turned around to look at him.

Fang Mo's appearance is very ordinary, he is fair-born, and has the appearance of a weak scholar. At first glance, he actually looks like a bookworm he doesn't like to see.

When he spoke, he was serious and frank, making it difficult for people to feel disgusted.

Wei Changze said, "You are right."

Fang Mo smiled, "My master told me this."

"Believe it or not," Wei Changze said, "it's pretty good."

Fang Mo suddenly remembered something, clapped his hands and said, "Speaking of which, I don't understand a little bit."

Wei Changze raised his eyebrows and motioned for him to say.

Fang Mo said: "When you were fighting Hong Lei, you obviously used a warlock at the end, so it is impossible not to use your true energy, but I really didn't feel the flow of your true energy. How did you do it?"

"Where does your true energy come from?" Wei Changze asked back.

"...the grace of heaven and earth?"

"The aura between heaven and earth," Wei Changze snapped his fingers casually, and pointed at him, "It takes a process to flow into your body. The more you can store, the more you control and own. The greater the ability, the more cultivation is the principle."

Fang Mo nodded.

Wei Changze continued: "But there are also those who don't need this process, so borrow them and use them as you like."

Fang Mo suddenly thought of something, "I... know this."

"Of course I know," Wei Changze smiled, "When you try your spiritual root before entering the gate, you will be asked to temporarily borrow spiritual power first."

Fang Mo was a little disappointed, but also a little unbelievable, "It's just... just this, no, I don't mean anything else, you can use this, really..."

Wei Changze said: "It can't be used frequently, a less powerful warlock can last for a while."

Fang Mo smiled and said: "I made you laugh, I really lost my heart, but I forgot the fundamentals."

"It's nothing," Wei Changze said casually, "I'm just at the end of my rope."

In fact, it was not like this, but during those years in Qingming Mountain, Shao Yangfeng didn't teach him anything, he could only chew on those basic exercises repeatedly, which was better than nothing.

It really came in handy at this time.

The two talked for a while, and everyone left after drawing lots. At this time, there was no one left in the field. Fang Mo's enthusiasm remained undiminished, and he still did not say goodbye.

Besides, he did have some original ideas, and he was serious and hardworking on weekdays, so Wei Changze didn't deal with him.

The topic of Fang Mo here has risen to the level of "the great way is invisible", but there are some changes outside.

Wei Changze was propping up his arms to force himself to listen when he suddenly felt a familiar qi.

Fang Mo obviously didn't hear anything outside the window, and didn't notice anything, but continued: "Many people in this world just enter into——"

Before he finished speaking, Wei Changze suddenly stood up and walked out.

Fang Mo was taken aback, and quickly stood up and said, "Eh?!"

Wei Changze kicked open the door and jumped out, and sure enough, he saw Shao Riwan and Jiang Bixin in the courtyard, already opened up and raised their hands.

Jiang Bixin was quite annoyed, "I asked myself that I didn't offend you, why are you targeting me everywhere!"

Shao Riwan didn't bother to pay attention to him at all, flipping his hand was like picking up a sword, the sword body seemed to be swimming like a fish and the body was loose, and it went straight to his life acupoint!

Wei Changze sighed while resting his forehead, pushed away the crowd and said, "Catch the light."

Jiang Bixin retreated and fought, and looked a little embarrassed under such a desperate style of play. A strand of hair was torn apart during the fight, and he lost his usual neat appearance.

Jiang Bixin got angry, threw Shao Riwan's sword away, and said angrily, "What do you want!"

"Murder." Shao Riwan temporarily stopped, and said to Wei Changze who had just walked out of the crowd, "Leave me alone."

Wei Changze had no choice but to stop.

Fang Mo chased him from behind, "Daoist Wei, what happened?"

Jiang Bidao said: "If you have any dissatisfaction with me, you can just say it directly. You and I both practice swordsmanship and know that we should not fight each other. For this reason, I have tolerated everything. Are you still going to finish?"

Shao Riwan said: "I didn't see you forbear all the time, but you fanned the flames and sold out other people's backgrounds. You are very good at attracting people."

Jiang Bixin reprimanded: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

"Jiang Daochang can't keep up with the ability of Jiang Daochang in person and behind the scenes," Shao Riwan said sharply, "but do you remember that you called him 'Brother Wei', turned your head and repeatedly brought out his past to belittle him, But his past was indeed caused by your Jiang family!"

"You claim to be a swordsman," Shao Riwan said with a sneer, "Are you worthy, a man of seven feet, who wants to gossip like those gossiping women."

Jiang Bixin said angrily, "Nonsense! Nonsense!"

Shao Riwan flicked his long sword suddenly, drew out a murderous sword light, pointed at a person in the crowd, and said coldly: "In that case, tell me, what did Jiang Bixin say to you just now?"

The person pointed at was startled, and Ji Ling didn't react for a while.

Shao Riwan slashed across a sword peak fiercely, struck the man along the neck, and cut off his hair all at once.

Shao Riwan said angrily: "Say!"

The man closed his eyes and shouted, "He said he was worried that Wei Changze had gone astray!"

Jiang Bixin's face was extremely ugly.

Shao Riwan sneered and said: "It's so worrying, let me tell you Jiang Bixin, some people are born mediocre, and it's no use chasing after them, you should be jealous, understand this truth as soon as possible, after all, you will have to suffer like this for the rest of your life .”

Fang Mo saw something was wrong, "Prince Dao... this is..."

Wei Changze let out a long sigh and said, "It's going to kill me."

Shao Riwan raised his sword and pointed at him, "It's a man, pick up your sword and we'll make a deal today."

Jiang Bixin clenched the sword in his hand, looking hesitant and ugly.

He was thinking about it, it was impossible for him not to be injured in the battle with Shao Riwan here, which would definitely affect the battle tomorrow, but if he didn't draw his sword at this time, he would be too weak.

Jiang Chengwu finally rushed over, his voice resounded like a bell, "What's the noise!"

For such a trivial matter, the head of Dongtianji Sect could be invited to come forward in person, and it happened so quickly.

Shao Riwan said coldly: "Is this the only guts?"

Jiang Bixin was finally provoked, and suddenly drew out his long sword, "Come to fight!"

Waiting for his words, Shao Riwan made an instant move, Jiang Bixin flew forward, the two fought in the air, two Jindan stage sword cultivators, the overflowing sword energy swept the ground and could split a stone in half.

Jiang Chengwu rushed over, angrily said: "Stop!"

The two of them acted as if they hadn't heard of it, but in the blink of an eye they had gone through several tricks. Both of them had hatred in their hearts, and there was no room for strikes, which made people feel frightened.

Fang Mo still sighed leisurely: "This sword intent is really brave and wonderful."

Wei Changze and the others looked at the two fighting with each other, but their expressions were calm.

Fang Mo said something, and suddenly realized something, "Wei Daochang, there must be your friend here."

Wei Changze gave an 'hmm' and said, "There is a loophole here."

Shao Riwan was a little impatient and a little impetuous. When he shook his sword, his true anger was vented. Jiang Bixin raised his sword, but he barely dodged it.

Fang Mo also said: "But his sword intent is really good, he should win."

"I can win." Wei Changze said.

In mid-air, Shao Riwan gritted his teeth and threw the long sword with his backhand and swung it in mid-air. His true energy was pulled out suddenly and forced into the long sword. Suddenly, several sword lights swept out, and Jiang Bixin's arm suddenly opened. The opening, splashing blood.

The people below looked impatient, a sword cultivator took a step forward, but a person suddenly appeared in front of him to stop him.

Wei Changze said: "This is not very good."

The man paused and stepped back.

Jiang Chengwu glanced this way.

Fang Mo still sighed here: "This is as light as a wild goose, as sudden as lightning."

Shao Riwan clasped his hands together, and the light of the Dao Dao sword merged into one, and the white light pierced the sky in bursts of killing intent. Jiang Bixin suddenly released the long sword from his hand, and stretched his arms in mid-air. They used what they had learned all their life to the extreme, and they collided fiercely, and the dead wood was shattered by the shock of true energy for a while, and everyone was forced to take a step back, unable to stand steadily.

Neither of the two let go, holding on tightly.

Jiang Chengwu said: "Enough!" He said and rushed forward.

Seeing that something was wrong, Wei Changze followed immediately. Jiang Chengwu put out a warlock with both hands, and shouted, "Feng!"

It's just that the sorcerer favored Shao Riwan's position!

Without further ado, Wei Changze flew out with a sword, dispelling the zhenqi, and the long sword flew back into his hand in mid-air, just in front of Jiang Chengwu.

Right here, Shao Riwan yelled angrily, and suddenly exerted [-] percent of his strength, inflating the arrogance all over his body to the point where there was no room left, forcing Jiang Bixin out a mouthful of blood, which slowly flowed out from the corner of his mouth.

Shao Riwan suddenly turned his sword back, and the long sword flew wildly in the afterimages. At last, Jiang Bixin didn't block it, and was stabbed fiercely in the chest.

Jiang Chengwu flew forward, caught him, fell to the ground and scolded angrily: "How can Tianjimen allow you to be so arrogant!"

Shao Riwan withdrew his sword and looked at him condescendingly.

Jiang Chengwu was about to say something, but was stopped by Jiang Bixin, "...Uncle, forget it."

Seeing this battle, everyone did not dare to say more.

But no matter what, Jiang Bixin was ashamed this time, and if he went to trouble Shao Riwan because of this, it would only be even more embarrassing.

Shao Riwan landed slowly, glanced at everyone and said, "Haven't seen enough yet?"

Wei Changze shook his head with a broken smile, and said, "Let's go."

He helped Shao Riwan without a trace, and turned around and left regardless of the many people.

The two walked very slowly, and as soon as they turned a corner, Shao Riwan stopped against the wall and slid down slowly.

Wei Changze immediately hugged him horizontally, "Seriously?"

"It's not serious." Shao Riwan said unsteadily.

Wei Changze didn't say anything, he held him firmly, went all the way back to the house, and put him down.

Shao Riwan coughed, looked at him and said, "You..."

"Not angry," Wei Changze said with a smile, "You can do whatever you want, but let me know in advance next time."

He had no reason to be angry. In the end, Shao Riwan dealt with Jiang Bixin because of him. Besides, this man had a strong heart and backbone. He couldn't let this man rely entirely on himself. Shao Riwan was a responsible man, and this man wanted to do it himself. Of course, he shouldn't influence anything.

Besides, the feeling of being held in the hands of others is indeed quite smug. He has received so many cold receptions, and it is hard for anyone not to be touched by such protection.

Shao Riwan said: "Let's go tomorrow, I won't bother to see him for a moment."

Wei Changze smiled, but didn't speak.

Shao Riwan waited for him for a while and didn't see a response, so he turned his head and glanced at him, only to see Wei Changze tucked up the quilt for him and said, "Heal your wounds, don't rush on your way."

"I'm going to fight tomorrow," Wei Changze said, "I'll wait until I meet him at last, and I'll give him a good meal."
