Tai sui

Seeing Princess Duanrui, Xi Ping's heart was half cold - the princess was different from what he had imagined.

He originally thought that this senior had only been in Qianxiu Temple for one year, and he didn't know where he got the time to do so many small handicrafts, so he sneaked into the inner sect for her like this, he must be a master of laziness and fooling the number one scholar.Each of the wood carvings and puppets has a different expression, and the compelling beauty can be extracted from the old things. After seeing it, Xi Ping wanted to bow to her after hundreds of years to show her admiration.

But this one in front of her, let alone "spiritual beauty", she doesn't even have "qi".

To put it more beautifully, she is like a goddess statue carved from ice and jade—the kind who governs the laws and regulations of the sky, and the law does not show mercy.

To put it bluntly... she is like a magic pestle with legs.

In the middle of the night the previous day, Xi Ping suppressed the half-event speech like a convulsion, and it was hard to say that it was purely for Tai Sui.He did have a faint worry in his heart: In this situation, can the evil spirit be separated from him smoothly?

If not, when Xianmen learns about this, whether to eliminate the demon...or to keep people.

Xi Ping "watched" Tai Sui put on his own skin and entered the courtyard with Chang Jun and the others, ready to salute in fear.Xi Ping didn't know if others couldn't see the flaws, but anyway, he himself felt that dignified appearance was extremely awkward, and said to himself: "The cowhide is blowing like a mountain, how can you not be exposed?"

How to do how to do……

At this moment, Princess Dachang looked at him again, and Xi Ping's scalp tingled for a while, feeling that she looked at people in the same way as she looked at dead things.

In the blink of an eye, an indescribable fear surged up in his heart, and an unreasonable intuition approached his eyebrows: Once she found out that an evil god was parasitizing her body, she would be able to smash him into pieces with a single palm.

"Senior," Xi Ping immediately made a decision, and quickly said to Tai Sui, "Princess Duanrui is completely different from what I imagined, and I will definitely pay more attention. What are you doing with your head down, okay? !"

Tai Sui immediately realized: That's right, this kid has no common sense.

The next moment, Zhi Xiu's eyes swept over, and Tai Sui imitated Xi Ping's demeanor vividly, hiding behind Chang Jun "pretending to be concealed", and looked at the eldest princess "curiously".

Zhixiu smiled at him, and briefly introduced the identity of Princess Duanrui—the ancestors of the Zhou family for many generations, anyway, ten fingers can't be counted. more.It was rare for Bitan Peak to open the mountain gate to accept new disciples, and just as the eldest princess was leaving the customs, she came to see the disciples' qualifications in person.

Xi Ping hurriedly said to Tai Sui: "I said that the inner sect must have received the news—Senior, you can deal with her and return your mouth to me."

Tai Sui lowered his eyelashes, his eyes flickering slightly.

"Hurry up, senior," Xi Ping urged, a little rude, "You talk about Jin Ping with a big tongue! I don't know, can General Zhi not hear it? You want to die yourself, don't hurt me and you." Dead two lives' okay!"

Tai Sui snorted coldly, and then actually "returned" his lips and tongue to Xi Ping.

Xi Ping caught off guard and opened his mouth to catch the cold wind, and couldn't help coughing a few times.

Zhi Xiu smiled and said, "Why are you coughing, nervous?"

As soon as Xi Ping took back the mouthpiece, the words seemed to have been hidden long ago, and he answered seamlessly: "Why am I nervous, and I don't want to enter the inner sect. I am nervous for others. Uncle, we are not allowed to talk to you in Qianxiu Temple." Teachers and sisters talk, the inner door is only stricter, right?"

Even if there is a gap in the Grand Canal in terms of age, most of these immortal monks are young and middle-aged. If men and women are allowed to mix together, troubles will happen if nothing happens.In a place like Xuanyin Mountain, where the rules and regulations are ten feet long, there must be unspoken rules that masters and apprentices should not have any distinction between men and women.

"Anyway, Master Uncle Duanrui is just here for a formality, and he doesn't accept male disciples." Xi Ping sighed pretendingly, "Some classmates thought they were destined for the inner sect, but because of the wrong birth... oh, wronged, Too bad!"

"As far as you know," Zhi Xiu nodded, "You come here first."

Xi Ping let out a "Hey", walked up to him, and gave a junior salute to Princess Duanrui, and said, "Master Duanrui, hello, I saw the original work of my uncle in Yanhailou yesterday. I was shocked. Elder Su was very picky, and my disciple gave me one after begging for a long time. Can you give me some kindness? I still want that set of chicken-winged cats."

Princess Duanrui only nodded back when he greeted him, and didn't answer.

No matter how taciturn a person is, after listening to other people's words, he will react to some extent. Even if he has facial paralysis, he will at least blink his eyes.However, Xi Ping felt that he had hit the wall with a bunch of nonsense, no matter how he went there, and how no matter how he bounced back, he didn't hear a word of it.

For a while, he was a little bit unable to dance with his long tongue.

Duan Rui said: "Hand."

Xi Ping called Tai Sui in his heart: "Senior?"

Tai Sui: "No problem, give it to her."

Xi Ping rolled his eyes, rolled up his sleeves and handed his hand: "Master, if your aptitude is not good, don't tell me, I'm very fragile..."

Princess Duanrui didn't touch him, but only glanced at Xi Ping's palm, a ray of invisible coolness immediately pierced into the Laogong acupoint in Xi Ping's palm, swam around his body in the blink of an eye, and slipped out of his palm again. go out.

Xi Ping was half a beat too late before he shivered.

Duan Rui's expression was still motionless, Xi Ping's heart was slightly suspended, his ability to observe words and expressions failed in front of her.

Princess Duanrui still didn't say anything, she just called Chang Jun and Yao Qi over and checked them one by one... It seemed like she was going through a basket of mediocre sweet potatoes.

After the three of them had checked all of them, she gave Zhi Xiu a suspicious look and walked out.

Tai Sui said, "It's all right."

Only then did Xi Ping let out a breath, and he couldn't say for a while whether he let it go or sank.

However, when the eldest princess walked to the gate of Qiuziyuan, she suddenly remembered something.

She stopped suddenly, turned around and waved.Something came out of the broken window of the north room where Xi Ping lived, almost flew past his head, and fell into the ice sculpture-like hand.

The corners of Xi Ping's eyes tightened - what Duan Rui was holding in his hand was the reincarnated woodcarved Karma Beast!

The gazes of the two masters of Ascension to Spirit fell on the small wooden carving at the same time.

Duan Rui: "..."

Zhi Xiu: "Pfft..."

I saw that the Karma Beast with thick eyebrows and big eyes had only been in Xi Ping's hands for a day, and it had already changed its face—Xi Ping painted its eyebrows, eyes, and painted its red lips with cinnabar...there was even a spot beside its bloody mouth. A matchmaker mole!

Princess Duanrui and the alluring Karma Beast looked at each other for a moment, then handed it back to Zhixiu, turned around and left.

Zhi Xiu put the wooden carving on the small stone table next to him, and nodded at Xi Ping: "See how you mess around in Tianji Pavilion in the future, the holy beasts will crawl out in the middle of the night and bite your toes."

Xi Ping sent them out with a playful smile, smacking at General Zhi's words.

"Go to Tianji Pavilion in the future", it seems that these two top masters of Xuanyin Mountain have indeed been concealed from them... The evil spirit is indeed true.

He was not in the mood to chat with Chang Jun and Yao Qi anymore, picked up the Karma Beast and went back to his room.

"Senior, what kind of Dao did Princess Duanrui practice? Why is she so creepy?"

"It is said that it is the 'Pure Way'," Tai Sui was very satisfied with him, and said gently, "You are not chaotic in times of danger, and you have done a good job."

Xi Ping sighed: "If you didn't control your legs, senior, you would have to tremble—what is the Tao of Purity?"

"The Tao of Purity is also called 'the Tao of Heartlessness'," Tai Sui said, "Entering this Tao, one should not be confused by the five senses, not be moved by the seven emotions, break through life, old age, sickness and death, and the principles of ordinary human relations, eliminate six desires, and return to heaven."

Xi Ping understood: "That is to say, she chopped me up like a stick."

Tai Sui laughed.

Xi Ping looked at the karma beast handmade by the eldest princess...it was so agile and alive, as if it could roll up and run at any time: "I didn't expect her to be so..."

brutal.

"I thought it would be a senior like Artifact Refining Dao."

"Which way to enter depends on what kind of Dao heart you have," Tai Sui said, "Do you think Dao heart is your own?"

Xi Ping: "..."

No, otherwise?

Can this thing be borrowed from others?

The brother of Qianxiu Temple who taught them basic knowledge said, "The heart of the Tao needs to be consistent with the heart and unshakable in action."

The Dao heart that a monk enshrines must be a set of general rules for him, which can explain everything in the world, constantly polish it, and become more and more harmonious. When the Dao heart is free of confusion, it is a great achievement.And if you have doubts about the Dao Xin during the practice, then the practice will probably stop here.

Although Xi Ping didn't understand why people like Elder Su who were transparent and smart said that he had no Dao heart, but Luo Qingshi was able to build a foundation - he felt that Luo Wenrou's cultivation was mostly "abuse Dao".

"There are very few people who can figure out their Dao Xin by themselves," Tai Sui sneered, "Take your Xuanyin Inner Sect as an example, most of the Dao Xin of the foundation-building monks copy the relics of their masters or seniors. If you catch up with someone At that time, Da Neng received his own disciples, and it was too late to break his head. Which one would you choose? The old monster Duanrui was selected by a peak master of their Zhou family to be a personal disciple. The pure way was difficult. There is no cicada slough so far, her master stopped at the middle stage of ascension, but now she is half a cicada slough, her heart is so cold and ruthless. Heh, even though you don’t understand anything, you will seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.”

Xi Ping remained silent, he found himself in a dilemma.

Going forward, he may be treated as a container of evil spirits by the ruthless fairy and eliminated altogether.

In the future, he will just linger on for a while, waiting to be taken away.

After all, he is still young and far from living.In desperation, Xi Ping just wanted to squat down on the spot.

For example... he can also stay inactive and go down the mountain after a year.

It's difficult for him to work hard, but he can't be lazy and play tricks?

That's what he was supposed to do.

If the big evil clings to him for the rest of his life, he...he probably will get used to it after a long time.

"Go and adjust your breathing into meditation. If you really can't calm down, find something else for yourself. Go to bed early and don't ask about that old monster," Tai Sui said in a rare and friendly voice. Experts can go crazy on the spot, ruthlessly sharp Yuli, if you keep thinking about her, be careful not to damage your mind."

Xi Ping felt it, and when he thought of the cold eyes of the eldest princess, he felt cold from his bones, so he listened to the persuasion.He picked up the Reincarnation Wooden Carving, focused on the space between his brows, and wanted to see how the big girl and the little girl were doing, but in the end he only saw the filial piety cloths all over his eyes.

He was stunned for a while, feeling very depressed, so he fell asleep in the revival tune.

Due to the arrival of Princess Duanrui in Chengjing Hall, the atmosphere was extremely serious, and the stewards who entered and exited did not dare to vent their atmosphere.

Su Zhun touched the tip of his nose, always feeling that the breath he exhaled was frozen with hoarfrost.

"Don't serve tea, she only drinks plain water." Zhi Xiu whispered, "Let everyone break up, so you don't have to be so nervous."

Su Zhun: "We are afraid of neglecting..."

"The Tao of Purity has reached her level of cultivation, and her heart has long since ceased to be moved by foreign objects. Swearing or flattery is a deaf ear, and she doesn't care whether she is negligent or not. You should be more at ease." Zhixiu waved his hands and lifted his legs to walk away Entering the Chengjing Hall, "Go and do whatever you want, don't have to circle her around."

Princess Duanrui seems to be able to fall into samadhi with her eyes open at any time, and she doesn't lift her eyelids when people around her say anything about her.After Zhixiu sent Su Zhun and the others away, she opened her mouth and said, "The disciple who has been in contact with Xie Chong has no problem, he is physically and mentally integrated."

Zhi Xiu said: "The wood carving he was going to leave that day was reincarnated wood, what about the wood?"

Duan Rui said: "There is no inscription, no blood."

Reincarnated wood, a third-class material, is indeed rare in wealthy families, but it is not a rare item in the south.Ordinary people make wood for whatever is available in the local area. Some people use reborn wood to make door frames, make furniture and make coffin boards. It is not that there is a problem with the wood itself.

If the evil spirits want to use it to communicate with each other, they must either engrave inscriptions on the wood and make the wood into a fairy weapon; or use some sorcery to establish a connection in advance, and then use the essence and blood as a medium to communicate with each other.

What the eldest princess meant was that the reincarnation wood carving in Xi Ping's hand had not been tampered with.

"That's good," Zhi Xiu's brows still remained unfurled, "This time I'm not good at things..."

He was halfway through speaking, and when he looked up and met the eldest princess Gujing's gaze, he felt that he was apologizing to the tree hole, and he couldn't continue.So Zhixiu paused, stopped being bureaucratic, and discussed the matter: "There are many doubts about this matter. I would like to ask the teacher: Even if the evil spirit cultivated the primordial spirit, he should have been smashed by Zhaoting at that time. Why did he still make trouble? Sister thinks, is there a different person behind this, or is it really as Su Zhun said—he is an evil god who can be revived by the body of a believer?"

Duan Rui replied rigorously: "There is no need for ghosts and gods, but I have wasted eight hundred years in the world, and I have never heard of it."

Folks do refer to Taoist monks as "immortals" and "immortals", and some supernatural cicada sloughs are even enshrined as gods by the common people, and incense is provided during festivals—but that is actually superstition.

Not to mention mere incense, even if Guangyun Palace is lit, the smoke won't reach Xuanyin Mountain.No matter how strong a monk's inspiration is, he can only sense people and things that have a cause and effect with him. It's not like any inexplicable person can "hear" a firecracker.

Even Nan Sheng, who is said to have ascended to the upper realm, has more symbolic and sustenance significance than others. Anyway, at the age of Princess Duanrui, I have never seen him show his spirit.

Zhi Xiu asked: "But senior sister, my master said that the location of Xingchenhai's change this time is exactly the same as last time?"

Duan Rui said: "Yes."

Zhi Xiu frowned even tighter: "Senior sister, I don't understand this."

"Elder Si Ming asked me to tell you that the world has been peaceful for thousands of years, and many histories cannot be tested, but the relics of the war between gods and demons may not be clean, and there are still many unsolved things hidden in the secret realm." Duan Rui said peacefully , "It's just that if the ancient gods and demons really came to the world, the Sea of ​​Stars would have been a tsunami long ago, and it's absolutely impossible to just make a little waves."

Zhi Xiu thought over these words carefully: "Master, what you mean is that the person who's acting in the name of Tai Sui Xingjun is probably just a madman who found some ancient relic?"

Duan Rui nodded, and took out a small token: "The master has a life, you can go down the mountain at any time before this matter is over, and you don't need to report again."

"Thank you." Zhi Xiu took the token, bowed his hands politely to the eldest princess, stood up, suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Senior sister, if you really found out that the little disciple was possessed by the soul What should I do?"

Duan Rui said without hesitation: "Exorcism."

"Then what if... humans and demons can't be separated?"

The chattering Xi Ping closed his mouth, either fell into samadhi or fell asleep, Tai Sui's ears were finally clean.

As usual, Xi Yue came in with footsteps lighter than a feather, picked up the boots kicked down by the owner, and went out to clean the ashes.

Suddenly, Xi Ping's leg twitched, Tai Sui felt that his heart rate was fast for no reason, it must have been a nightmare.

It's no surprise that Da Xie is evil - it's not normal for this kid not to have nightmares.

Human nature is so weak, especially a waste like Xi Ping, even if he is temporarily inspired by righteousness, and three days haven't passed, won't he retreat again and don't want to work hard?Tai Sui knew that this person was bluffed by him for a while, but it would be naive to expect such a person to advance and retreat with him in the dangerous Xuanyin Mountain.

Tai Sui is sure that as long as this dude realizes that he is weaker than those mysterious immortals, he can sell himself asshole.

It's not that he can't be restrained, but it's very troublesome to be on guard against him all the time, so Xing Jun had to... use a little trick.

Xi Ping's whole body organs - including breathing and heartbeat, which he can't control, are all under the control of Tai Sui - eyes are no exception.

Walking into the gate of Qiu Ziyuan in the evening, he did a little trick on Xi Ping's naked eyes.

The power of the half-step cicada slough is already hard to look at, as long as you show a little more murderous intent in this kid's eyes, and then manipulate his heartbeat to speed up, his hairs to stand on end, and his hands and feet to sweat, he will feel like he was killed by a snake. Staring at the frog.

At that time, Tai Sui returned the mouthpiece to Xi Ping at ease, and he was not afraid of bad things at all-he knew that Xi Ping would not dare.

The body and mind of a mortal have always been one. Even if he failed to seize the body, it didn't mean he couldn't control the thoughts of this good-for-nothing young master.

Xi Yue brought back the dusted boots and pulled the quilt back for the master.

When he lowered his head, he saw Xi Ping frowned, but there was a strange smile on the corner of his mouth.Ban Ou couldn't help but paused, and after a while, he closed the window and turned off the lights, then quietly backed out, curled up on the small couch outside... and raised his hand to press the dragon taming lock around his neck.

There was a flash of light on the dragon train lock, and the roar of the master came from inside.

"He just laughed at my face just now! Did you see that! Luo Dashan didn't even scratch my face, just made this old bastard laugh at my face!"

Xi Yue has never spoken in his life, even if he doesn't use his mouth at this time, his verbal response is a little slow, and he can't catch up.He had no choice but to listen to Xi Ping swearing obediently, trying to remember some words, hoping to agree next time.

When Xi Ping saw Princess Duanrui, he began to tremble with fear for no reason. At that time, he vaguely felt that something was wrong.

Although he really had never seen how terrifying "a half-step cicada slough that can make a foundation-builder go crazy at a glance", but Master Uncle Duanrui must have kept it at that time--Yao Ziming didn't even flee on the spot, how scary could she be?

Fortunately, he smeared blood on the half-doll's Dragon Trainer lock the day before, and the connection is still there.

So Xi Ping calmly took a look through Xi Yue's eyes from another angle: the eldest princess is just not as kind as General Zhi, she is not vicious at all!

This evil spirit can not only make him speak loudly, but also play with his emotions!Doesn't that mean he has to do whatever he wants him to do!

"Xi Yue," Xi Ping breathed a sigh of relief, and quietly asked through the dragon taming lock, "do you dare to do something for me?"
