Sword of Coming

Chen Ping'an and Lu Chen were walking side by side in the alley of the village in the middle. They wore cloth shoes with a thousand layers of soles and shoes with ten squares of cotton cloth. Their footsteps rustled like leaves falling to the ground.

Passing by a house, a local dog in the yard woke up suddenly when he heard footsteps and started barking at the door. There were many barks nearby, but it soon calmed down.

During this period, Lu Chen lay on the wall, imitated a few dog barks, and raised his hands as if throwing stones. The native dog in the courtyard whimpered and curled up with its tail curled up.

Lu Chen shook his sleeves and quickly followed Chen Ping'an, who was walking slowly to the entrance of the alley before stopping. He rubbed his hands and said, "Although it is human nature to guard against hunger every year and guard against theft every night, it's just that you beware of Pindao and Chen Ping'an. There is no need for the mountain master to do anything. Chen Pingan, what do you think?"

Chen Ping'an said: "Headmaster Lu only wants to put money on his own face, but as for me, there is no need for it."

Lu Chen suddenly smiled and said: "In the world, one barking dog has a shadow, and a hundred dogs barking."

Chen Pingan nodded and said: "In this world, one person's truth is false, but a thousand people's truth is true."

Lu Chen clapped his hands and applauded, "Okay, I can write a pair of wooden couplets with gold characters on a black background and frame them later. I will put them in Guanqianjianzhai and write our names and inscriptions respectively. It will be fun to play with." "

Chen Pingan smiled and said: "If you can afford this shame, I don't care."

Lu Chen rubbed his hands and sighed: "People who wander at night can do nothing but commit crimes, but you can't ban dogs so they don't bark."

Chen Ping'an didn't say anything, but remembered something and said, "In Yuzhou, on the top of the mountain where the Luzong temple is located, there is a tiger who has listened to the morning bells and evening drums for many years, but has been unable to practice the form. Why bother Master Lu to help give him some advice?"

Lu Chen agreed with a smile and raised his hand, "It's a small matter, that's all."

It takes a little effort.

After walking out of the village and coming to the road connecting the three villages, Lu Chen stood on the shore, looking at the water and looking at the reflection in the water. Lu Chen sighed, like a person holding the situation in perspective, is he really himself? Is this his original appearance?

Although Lu Chen's attitude at the time about Chen Ping'an's words about "schooling" was a bit exaggerated, in fact it did touch upon Lu Chen's heart and made him feel sad.

But there is also a big or small problem hidden here. People who read the book in later generations often mistook some finely edited versions as verbatim originals and misrepresented them. As time went by, they eventually deviated from the original meaning.

Those who practice Taoism, on the road to mountain climbing, know that attaining the Tao and realizing the Tao is nothing more than the pursuit of "knowing why" one by one, finding the path in the darkness, and walking on it. The scenery along the way matches one's own state of mind.

Lu Chen said softly with a bit of sadness: "I once went to see Guanzhu Sun's junior brother and his junior apprentice. I have met and talked with him. After talking, I found that there is one thing. Their thoughts have nothing to do with them. There was a conflict between Bai Yujing Taoist officials."

Chen Pingan squatted on the side of the road, picked up a few stones and threw them gently into the stream, and said: "Is it true that most Taoist officials in Bai Yujing think that cultivating Taoism is the way of Taoism and is superb. But that Regarding Master and Disciple Xuan Du, do you think that cultivating the Tao can be a path? It is plain."

Lu Chen hummed, and didn't think it was strange that Chen Pingan guessed the answer. He was silent for a moment, rubbing his cheeks, "Just do what you want, and I won't bother anyone else."

Even if the sky falls, senior brother Yu Dou, who has seen the world, will still be there to carry him.

Chen Pingan stood up, and the two of them continued to walk towards the bottom village. Lu Chen smiled proudly and said, "In the scroll of time, Ning Ji actually changed his mind twice. He didn't want to be your student and planned to leave. , follow me to Bai Yujing to practice Taoism. Then tonight, the one who is told by Ning Ji to remember the kindness in his heart and repay it later is you, not Pindao."

Chen Ping'an said: "One of the times, Ning Ji knew about his life background and didn't want to cause trouble for me?"

Lu Chen nodded.

Probably there is a kind of asking for trouble in the world, which is called putting yourself in others’ shoes and always thinking about others.

Just as Chen Pingan guessed, after Master Lu and Ning Ji made the truth clear, the young man with a miserable life experience was filled with fear and his face was pale. He fell into a huge panic on the spot. The young man was silent for a long time, and he probably felt that he was a god. Troublemakers who hate ghosts and hate are always unpopular no matter where they are. Therefore, whether it is Taoist Wu Di or teacher Chen Ji, once the two parties have the status of master and apprentice, they will bring a lot to the latter. Unnecessary right and wrong, after all, they are definitely not as good as Headmaster Bai Yujinglu... to take care of things.

So Lu Chen, who couldn't laugh or cry, was so angry that he simply poured beans out of a bamboo tube and told Ning Ji about Chen Pingan's multiple identities. This made the frightened young man seem to have received a reassurance and changed his mind. It turns out that Mr. Chen has done such a thing at such a young age.

So Master Lu became even more angry. He walked out of a time travel picture and took the young man on a short trip to the mountains and rivers of the three continents. He met more than a dozen people, first Pei Qian, who was the founding disciple of Chen Ping'an, and then Shujian Lake. Jiang Zhenjun, some old swordsmen in Zhengyang Mountain, and the nearby Yuye River Water Goddess who has been determined to replace the location of the Water God Temple over the years, a wedding dress female ghost, and a certain one who ate snake gallstones and was able to reshape her body. , the young Jiao who finally attached himself to the Jiang family in Yunlin, and also went to the Suoyun Sect in Luzhou, Beiju... and finally a certain Bengchuan Zhenjun who had just returned to his hometown not long ago.

Chen Pingan asked with a smile: "Ning Ji went back on his word for the second time. Was it because he knew my true identity and regarded me as half an enemy?"

Lu Chen shook his head, "Although Ning Ji is not deeply involved in the world, some of his views are simple but not naive. This kind of character is both innate and acquired, just like medicinal herbs are brewed into herbs."

A person's sharp-edged character is as deep as a palace, repeated over and over again, and there are countless shadows in the daytime when the sun is shining.

The sharp-edged talent is a Wenchang Tower, and the hatred of evil is a City God's Temple. Being open-minded or cheerful is like a pavilion with ventilation on all sides.

Depression is like falling into a bottomless well, dark and dark. I am alone, isolated from the world, and unable to extricate myself.

Lu Chen actually had something left unsaid. Just like some money in the world should be earned by certain people. In the same way, Chen Pingan accepted Ning Ji as his disciple, and Ning Ji accepted you as his teacher. It is a matter of course that things will come naturally.

Chen Pingan did not ask the specific reason why the young man changed his mind for the second time, but simply asked: "Why did Ning Ji finally make up his mind and choose to study with me?"

Lu Chen asked tentatively: "Can you promise me first that if you have any questions, we will discuss it carefully? A gentleman will talk but not take action. Even if he does, don't... slap him in the face."

Chen Yinguan was very sloppy and liked to slap people in the face when asking about boxing. Since the Qingbai dispute in the Confucian Temple, his reputation has spread far and wide. It is estimated that several monks in the world have heard about it. Maybe there is Qingming in the world. The Taoist officials are still a little confused. They are all great masters of martial arts. Is it appropriate to ask about boxing like this? But those in Wucai Tianxia Feisheng City and Manhuang Tianxia would probably praise each other, saying that he was worthy of being the second shopkeeper who never suffered losses when doing business. As expected of Chen Yinguan, the man in charge of the summer palace.

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "Between friends, we talk about things while walking. When we talk about where we are, we definitely don't get angry about anything. Besides, I can't beat Master Lu."

Without the second sentence, Lu Chen would have believed it.

Lu Chen first moved away from Chen Ping'an, and then said hesitantly: "I showed Ning Ji your true face now."

In the village school, Master Chen Ji also talks about the Sutra of Filial Piety, and this book has a very clear meaning at the beginning. There is a sentence in it: The parents who receive it from the body, hair and skin, do not dare to damage it, this is the beginning of filial piety.

So when Chen Pingan explained this sentence, Lu Chen pointed his finger at the young man's forehead, allowing Ning Ji to open his eyes and see Chen Pingan's venerable face.

Humans are neither humans nor ghosts. Before reaching the immortal realm, Chen Ping'an could not reshape his true body and restore a person's normal appearance.

Chen Ping'an smiled and said, "What's this? Just let Ning Ji see it."

Lu Chen breathed a sigh of relief, "After all, it's your private matter, so I have to say hello to you."

But Lu Chen only told half the truth.

The reason that really made Ning Ji decide to study with Chen Pingan was that after Lu Chen took the young man to see the group of people who "avoided" Chen Pingan, he also took Ning Ji to see a few people that Chen Pingan had or still dared not to do. The most important thing about the people and things we face directly is Chen Ping'an's heartfelt recognition of "repaying evil with kindness, how to repay kindness, repay hatred with straightness, repay kindness with kindness."

This relieved the young man with a tragic life experience.

But what Ning Ji saw, heard, thought, and this period of mental journey, Lu Chen took back all his "memories" afterwards, just like a young boy returning them to Master Lu one by one.

Walking to the lowest village, Lu Chen suggested with a smile: "Why don't we go see the ruins of the Dragon Palace on land? Go quietly and return quietly, just to enjoy the scenery without disturbing anyone."

Chen Pingan nodded and said, "Okay."

Over the years, Chen Pingan has maintained the habit of writing landscape travel notes.

Then the two of them stepped out in one step, and in an instant they were among the green mountains and green waters of the Dragon Palace. It was night outside, but it was daylight here. The sun was not hanging in the sky, and it was still bright. Several places in this secret realm There are ancient seal stone steles standing on each high mountain. Among them, there are two peaks confronting each other. The steles are erected at the foot of the mountain. The foreheads of the steles are Yungen and Yujie respectively. On the top of the mountain, there are also steles with the words "Clouds gather and scatter like flowers blooming and falling" and "Rain shines on the golden mountain".

The mountains are towering, and there is a single peak. There is a big river passing by at the foot of the mountain. However, Lu Chen did not take Chen Pingan there. Instead, he took Chen Pingan to the foot of an inconspicuous low mountain. He smiled and said: "A long time ago , I once passed by this place and went hiking here, but I didn’t disturb anyone. At that time, I felt that it was a geomantic treasure place where I could become an immortal, a Taoist, or a Buddha.”

Arriving at the halfway point of the mountain, there was a pool with deep blue water and bottomless depth. Lu Chen pointed at the pool as flat as a mirror and explained: "This is the real entrance to the Ancient Dragon Palace. Over there at the Great Li Imperial Court, until now They are still kept in the dark. If you don’t remind them, they may change their national surnames in tens or hundreds of years, or even longer. The last emperor of the Song family in Dali still doesn’t know that he and the The ancestors of the past generations seemed to have entered the treasure mountain and sat on it, but in fact they picked up the sesame seeds and lost the watermelon."

"Times have passed, and I think back to those days, when the local Dragon King was demoted, when the dragon spirit was still strong, whenever a storm was about to come, there would be white clouds curling up, covering the mountain, like wearing a bamboo hat, and the courts of several nearby countries used it to predict the weather. All are efficacious. In times of severe drought, the local people will come here to pray for rain. As long as they can see lizards meandering out of the water pool and ashore, they can go back home. After a while, the rain will follow. If you encounter When there is a flood, come here to pray to the Dragon King to stop the rain. As long as a small snake enters the water on the shore, the heavy rain will stop suddenly."

"Every year on the sixth day of June, in addition to people in the market drying their clothes and scholarly families drying their books, there is also a saying of drying dragon robes, so you only need to come here on this day to watch the number of snakes and lizards 'basking in the sun' on the shore of the water pool. , the total number is only three or five, or as many as ten or so. Anyway, it will be clear every time, and we can predict the amount of rainfall in the next whole year. Since we know whether the situation in the next year will be drought or flood, we can predict the rainfall in the next year. You can all prepare for a rainy day.”

Lu Chenxiao asked, "Would you like to enter this Dragon Palace annex to find out what's going on?"

From ancient times to three thousand years ago, in the mountains and rivers of the vast world, all dragons who were successful in cultivating Taoism, especially the Dragon King who could open a mansion, liked to seize and collect secretly stored treasures of all kinds. This other courtyard of the Dragon Palace on land can be regarded as a secret treasure house, somewhat similar to the old dragon's "private money".

It’s not that Lu Chen looks down on Qin Tianjian and Mr. Feng Shui from the Great Li Dynasty, but that in the land of ancient Shu, there are many swordsmen, and they like to use dragons to refine swords and sacrifice swords when they have nothing to do, so they can gain a foothold here. In Jianghu Dragon Palace, every Dragon King has a lot of skills, and he is definitely not a vegetarian. Therefore, as long as Chen Ping'an does not reveal the secret, the emperors of the Song Dynasty in Dali, relying on the vision and methods of those earth masters, are destined to be unable to open the ban on this palace. They may open the ban without authorization. If there is no expert in charge, such as Wei Before Barberry's pure golden body reaches the height of the Ascension Realm, it will only cause the abnormal phenomenon of the turtle turning over on its back, causing the mountains and rivers of Chuzhou to collapse, causing countless casualties among the people in the state, and then affecting the landscape and atmosphere of the entire Beiyue territory.

Chen Pingan shook his head and said: "Forget it."

Scholars of my generation are very bright and graceful, so we have to be somewhat shameless in doing things.

Originally, he didn't come here to study at the Dragon Palace ruins. Otherwise, with Chen Pingan's level of cultivation, if he really wanted to pay attention to this secret realm, even if he couldn't open all the secret restrictions, wouldn't there still be Xiao Mo? And Xie Gou, the money man?

Lu Chen said: "If you get anything, how about 50/50?"

Chen Pingan still shook his head.

Lu Chen said: "Thirty-seven points, I am three points and you are seven points?"

Chen Pingan said resolutely: "Let's go!"

We, Baofengzhai, must learn more about Wei Shanjun's ways of making money. Not to mention holding a few night banquets, as long as the iron rooster passing by the Beiyue boundary has to pluck a few feathers.

Lu Chen stood next to the pool, raised his two fingers, closed his eyes and began to mutter something, which sounded like a water-repelling spell.

The water mist rises, and the majestic red lacquer door inlaid with rows of door nails gradually emerges from the water surface of the ancient pool. There are white jade stone tablets and horse-tethering posts outside the door. The content of the stone tablet is roughly a reminder to visitors who come here to stop and come to the door with a sticker. Visitors, emperors, generals and ministers in the human world need to dismount from their horses and walk. Immortal kings on the mountain have to untie their swords outside the door and are not allowed to travel in the clouds, mist and wind. If someone comes here presumptuously, if he kowtows first and then goes back, he will be spared from death.

Lu Chen smiled and said, "The owner of this temple has a very loud tone."

Chen Pingan asked: "Have you figured out the general scene inside?"

Lu Chen shook his head like a rattle and complained: "Looking for mountains and secluded places. You know the scenery before you climb the mountain. How boring."

Chen Ping'an said: "To correct you, we are not visiting immortals in the mountains, we are seeking wealth and treasures."

Lu Chen smiled and said, "It's pretty much the same anyway. The two of us have traveled around the world together, even to the wilderness hinterland and Tuoyue Mountain. There is no place in the world where we can go. Even if there is an accident, it is a surprise. What are you afraid of?"

Chen Pingan was speechless for a moment. Lu Chen's reason was not unreasonable.

When the two of them stepped inside, their eyes suddenly turned white, filled with sharp sword light that suddenly covered the sky and the earth.

Chen Ping'an stopped and didn't move at all.

Judging from the context of his sword light, it is indeed the style of a swordsman who started in the upper five realms.

As long as Master Lu was by his side, Chen Ping'an didn't seem to notice, and he just looked at him and died.

Lu Chen looked like a stupid goose, and he looked like he was going to kill him at the very least.

The dazzling sword light that spread across the world disappeared in a flash, but the sword light dissipated like a tide, but the sword energy did not disappear immediately. The murderous aura was still strong, like falling into an ice cave, and his whole body was cold. Lu Chen shivered, and then stretched out his hand to rub it. After rubbing their eyes, they saw a barefoot man with disheveled hair appearing at the end of their field of vision. His face was like a crown jewel, holding a wine glass, and he was lying on a dragon chair. In response to the appearance of the two uninvited guests at the door, the host It seems that he is confused, how can the Qi practitioner who can enter this place be so helpless? I'm disappointed again. It's rare to see a living person. Are they just the kind of destined people who bump into each other by accident?

The handsome man wearing a crown and a dragon robe asked calmly: "In the world outside, what year is it today?"

The young Taoist priest asked tremblingly: "What are you talking about?"

The man in green shirt answered cautiously: "It's probably the ancient Shu dialect, I can't quite understand it."

"What should I do if I encounter a tough problem?"

"How about you kowtow to this senior a few times first?"

"it's not good?"

"If there's anything wrong with it, I won't blame the Li people."

"If it works, it doesn't matter. I'm afraid it will backfire."

The man on the Dragon Throne had previously withdrew the majestic sword energy that came like rain at the critical moment. At this moment, he still did not sit up. He just looked sideways at the two guys who broke into the secret realm. The scene inside the two sides, the level of realm, Unobstructed view.

As for the whispers of the two living treasures, the man in the dragon robe didn't care. He shook the wine glass in his hand and sneered: "If you don't understand what I said, don't you recognize the words on the stone tablet outside the door?"

Chen Ping'an seems to be looking at his eyes, nose and heart, pretending to be stupid. In fact, there is no delay in "speaking from the heart" to Lu Chen, but it is not the method of a Qi practitioner. There are no ripples of spiritual energy between heaven and earth, and even the inner lake has no water patterns. It is just some "thoughts" between him and Lu Chen. Under the blessing of Lu Chen's Taoism, the two sides were no different from talking to each other. These thoughts, one after another, were just like fish swimming under the lake in their respective minds, moving suddenly. Of course, people on the shore could not see them.

"Is he the master of the Dragon Palace? Or a swordsman born from a dragon?"

It is not easy for people of the dragon's genus to awaken and refine their body, and it is even rarer to become a sword cultivator.

"Whether the old owner of this place is still a dove occupying the magpie's nest, it's hard to say for the time being. Anyway, the identity of the sword cultivator is real, and Yu Pu has been bottlenecked for many years. This guy's life background is more complicated. He seems to be a heroic spirit who still lives after death. It's just that I don’t know how he did it, but he was able to turn his dragon energy into pure Yang energy, so he is no different from a living person. Yes, yes, it must be the work of that pure Yang Taoist friend!"

Lu Yan, whose Taoist name was Chunyang, had played in the human world before traveling around the world of Qing Ming, leaving behind many immortal traces. Unfortunately, none of them had been spread, so he was not very popular.

For example, Lu Yan once taught fire techniques to a group of old dragons in the Palace of the Sun, quarried stones by the river, stepped on carp into the sea, rode a wooden crane outside the building, and flew to Qingming.

Chen Ping'an had a small surprise. There was actually a Jade Pu Realm sword cultivator who had reached a bottleneck hidden here. Was it because he had to hide here for a long time to avoid the man who killed the dragon?

"It doesn't matter. A well can't bring big fish, and a small hill can't find towering trees. After all, this is just a dragon palace on land. Experts, strangers, Taoist swordsmanship are not much better, and there's nothing weird about it. Hey, this wine glass looks a bit familiar? It’s worth the trip, it’s worth the trip.”

"A gentleman does not take away from others' favor. I advise you not to be so unreasonable."

On the other side of the Great Wall of Sword Qi, there have been a total of five "Jiuquan Cups" in history. Sun Juyuan, Yan Ming and Qi Tingji each had one. This object is the favorite of wine lovers in the world.

Now that there are already sword cultivators practicing here, whether it is the old owner who has not moved for a long time, or the kind of outsider who has arrived first, Chen Pingan has no interest in exploring treasures in the Dragon Palace.

But the sword cultivator, who was already a ghost, said something next that prevented Chen Ping'an from turning around and leaving immediately.

"Are you a disciple of the academy over at the Confucian Temple? You Confucianists say that the way to a university lies in Ming Ming De. Since there is a 'university', of course there is an 'elementary school'. To study, you must first learn to read. The shape, pronunciation and meaning of the words cannot be circumvented. Knowledge. Since you can enter this place, you must not be the kind of scholar who is proficient in writing. Since you recognize the ancient seal inscriptions outside the door, why are you pretending to be stupid on my side? Or do you think that I am a fool? "

Lu Chen began to distance himself from the relationship and raised a hand, "Senior, you must have noticed that I am a Taoist priest."

The man sat up, twisted the priceless wine glass in his hand, leaned forward, squinted his eyes and smiled: "Little Taoist priest, can you finally understand human language now?"

Lu Chen's face was filled with embarrassment for a moment.

Chen Pingan was impressed.

There’s nothing to say about Master Lu’s acting skills.

The man asked: "Is the dragon gate leading to the Yellow River Cave and Sky still there today?"

Lu Chen nodded vigorously, "It's still there, right next to the ancient spiritual hill, an isolated city in Wanren Mountain, right next to the Baidi City among the colorful clouds."

The man sneered and said: "The colorful clouds and leaves hang on the spiritual hill, and the Taoist priest Huang Chen has no horse head."

This was the first time Chen Pingan heard this statement, and he remembered Lu Chen's considerate words, helping to explain the true meaning of this statement, "Before Baidi City was built, it was an ancient battlefield site that was not recorded in historical books. It was called Ling in ancient times. The hill is extremely tall, and the colorful clouds are like leaves hanging on the branches. In ancient times, the Taoist immortals among the land gods often went there to build thatch and practice, waiting for an illusory fairy chance that no one knew whether it was true or false. It is said that because my master once admired the moon there, the Taoism there was stronger. However, there were as many Taoist priests running to Lingqiu to seek opportunities as there were crucian carp crossing the river, and no one succeeded. , I don’t know how many Taoist priests are unwilling to return without success, or leave behind the remains of the soldiers, or turn into a pile of withered bones over there. Later, Bai Ye split the Yellow River cave with a sword, leading the waterfall to the In the human world, countless water transports were added to Haoran's world, and later, Mr. Zheng took it into his pocket."

After hearing this anecdote, Chen Ping'an immediately understood. No wonder Zheng Juzhong asked such a question.

Lu Chen cupped his hands and said, "Please give me your Taoist number, senior."

The man in the dragon robe smiled and said: "My human name is 'Caojun'. Will it be passed down to future generations in the outside world?"

Lu Chen nodded and said: "Senior, don't worry, from today on, the name 'Caojun' with great meaning will be widely circulated in the outside world!"

The Caojun Sword Immortal laughed dumbly, with a dejected expression, and waved his hand, "Take away the heavenly and earthly treasures here if you can, but it's just a matter of three things, and you can only take three pieces. As for the grade of the treasures, , you each rely on your own eyesight.”

After receiving this, the man in the dragon robe seemed to be joking: "Money and silk are touching people's hearts, but don't get into a fight because of the uneven distribution of the spoils before you leave this place. Since I have spoken to you, you should know that I am a Taoist who likes peace and quiet." So if you want to fight, go out and fight."

Logically speaking, the two strangers who accidentally stumbled into this place should shed tears of gratitude and thank God.

I never imagined that I would meet a bastard who couldn't be judged by common sense.

The young Taoist priest, full of poverty and sourness, stared blankly at the wine glass.

The older scholar in Confucian shirt beside him began to look at the dragon chair.

The man in the dragon robe smiled and said, "Don't push yourself too far. I'll give you a stick of incense and hurry up and look for treasures everywhere."

Chen Ping'an was a little confused. Is he so easy to talk to?

Lu Chen smiled and answered the question. This guy had average Taoist qualifications. He initially relied on external objects to reach the Jade Pure Realm. Therefore, the mountains and rivers here, the pavilions and pavilions, the flowers and trees, and all the other things were burdensome. This place was his dojo to avoid disaster. It is also a blessed place, and at the same time it is a forbidden place. It has become a prison that he cannot get out of. The more we take away, the less burden he will bear. We are just worried that we are too talkative, but we are suspicious and dare not take anything with us. Leaving the secret realm, he had three items, no more and no less, which was enough for him to build a bridge to the outside world.

Chen Ping'an has a guess. Almost all the things here have been refined by him?

There are not many left.

In a sense, is it considered a kind of Taoism?

I can barely calculate it, but my technique is rather clumsy and cannot stand up to scrutiny. The person in front of me is far inferior to Mrs. Dandan in Lushui Keng in her refining skills.

Since he wanted to get out of trouble so much, he didn't use the means of the upper five realms, such as holding the soul and taking the soul, and made the two of us into puppets. Can he be considered kind enough?

He is also doubtful about your true state and our backing. He is worried that we are the kind of Taoist masters who are similar to Chunyang Taoists and do not like to reveal Taoism. Of course, it would be rare for an ordinary Qi practitioner to not lose his mind after being imprisoned for such a long time. He would have taken action long ago, killing you and me, or using his water-repelling magical power to hide behind you. My muscles, veins, qi and blood must all have to go through some tricks to test the depth of our Taoism.

It seems that Mr. Cao's Taoist title was not taken in vain.

After all, he is considered half a fellow countryman, and maybe he was given the name by fellow Taoist Chunyang.

The man in the dragon robe looked up at the sky, with a complicated expression on his face, and laughed at himself: "Year after year, there is no change. I have long accepted my fate. I have been silent for a long time, and I have judged that in this life, I will either be drunk or sleep, but it is inevitable in my heart. I'm worried, I don't know if God is willing to see me."

Lu Chen smiled and said: "The reason why Senior Caojun thinks so is that he cannot see through the sky of Dragon Palace and cannot see through the bottleneck of Yupu Realm. It is naturally due to the narrow vision of seniors. Those who ignore Nanxiang cannot see the north."

He talks about seniors, but the content of his words is that seniors are giving instructions to juniors. As a guest, he is very rude.

The man in the dragon robe was not angry but smiled, his eyes playful: "Today's Taoist priests speak in a very soft tone."

Lu Chen looked straight at the dragon and sighed quietly. It was really pitiful for parents in the world to help him set up such a dojo.

In the dojo, the amount of landscape energy and the total amount of heaven and earth spiritual energy are obviously carefully calculated by experts. They can be ranked among the Jade Pu, extend their lifespan, and maintain a little bit of true spirit as much as possible, without taking advantage of the trend to become an immortal and suffer from diarrhea. Can't hide the traces. As a dragon, the path to Taoism involves walking on water or winding mountains, so this dragon son and grandson are destined to stagnate in the Jade Pu Realm. They can only be patient and rely on some kind of providential will to survive. He waited patiently for the destined person to open the door and come in, and at the same time gave him enough opportunities to understand the situation outside. This was why when he saw Chen Ping'an and Lu Chen, he immediately asked how the situation was outside. In the final analysis, he just wanted to Determine whether the dragon-slaying battle is completely over.

Lu Chen couldn't help but sigh, saying that parents love their children and have far-reaching plans.

Chen Pingan looked around. The fields of the Taoist temple in the secret area looked like a field that had been cultivated repeatedly. He believed that Lao Long must have left some secret magic books in the past.

Taking farming and reading as the foundation is a long-term solution.

Lu Chen nodded. It makes sense. Studying is the same as farming, but ask about hard work, not about harvest.

The man in the dragon robe said with burning eyes: "Relax and get the treasures each, but as a reward, you must answer a question. Is there a rebuilt Dragon Palace in the ancient Shu realm?"

The guest in green shirt nodded when he heard this.

The young Taoist priest shook his head.

The man in the dragon robe slapped the handle of the chair hard and snorted coldly.

Then I saw the two bastards looking at each other, each blaming the other with their eyes. Have you been careless since you were a child? Have you ever had your head caught in a door panel?

The young Taoist priest seemed to be angry and chose to break the jar. He suddenly shouted angrily. A golden rooster stood alone, with two fingers together, pointing at the man in the dragon robe, "If it dies, it will be an earthly fairy water dragon. So what? What dangerous battles did the Taoist see?" However, I will fight with you today! Little evil dragon, Taoist master will use the thunder method to teach you the magical power of water magic!"

After that, the "Longmen Realm" Taoist priest and a "Golden Core Realm" water dragon were doing their best there. You came and I went back and forth. After a chess match, you would meet your opponent and you would meet a talented person. It was very lively with all the bells and whistles.

Chen Ping'an had already retreated far away to make room for them, so as not to be "disastered".

The man in the dragon robe stopped and smiled: "It's interesting. He is actually a Qi practitioner in the Dragon Gate realm. Little Taoist, tell me, how do you make everyone look at you?"

As he spoke, he was doubtful. Could it be that the current Qi practitioners of Aquarius Continent are so powerful in Taoism? Was he from a certain sect and Taoist temple?

The young Taoist priest with slightly trembling legs laughed loudly and said, "If you don't fight, you won't get to know each other. I'm a tyrant using friendly methods!"

"I won't take the things here. Now, at the Tiefu River Water Mansion, isn't there still a shortage of a water god? Since it was agreed before that 37 would be opened, then three hundred years later, Pindao will come back and lead him to Qingqing Ming Tianxia, ​​he has been cultivating there for seven hundred years. For this water dragon, it is also a talisman. Otherwise, as long as he goes outside, I heard that Chen Xianjun has just come out of the mountain after many years. He will be scared to keep it. He retreated to this place directly, not daring to see anyone. If he continued to waste time here, within a hundred years, he would either lose his soul or turn into a fierce ghost. What was a good Dragon King's Villa would be reduced to a gloomy ghost house, a ghost house. If you are not careful, the entire Dragon Palace ruins will be implicated. A water dragon that has lost its intelligence is still a Jade Pu Realm bottleneck sword fairy. Unless you are willing to take action yourself, or let Xiao Mo go here and kill him, otherwise Anyone who rebels will end up being forcibly suppressed by Wei Bo."

If you were an ordinary person, you would probably ask if this can be considered a 30-70 ratio?

Chen Pingan just nodded and it was settled.

The man in the dragon robe asked: "Which immortal mansion are you worshiping in the ancestral hall? Which two immortal masters are you disciples of?"

Lu Chen shook his head and said: "To worship? Neither of them. The realm is not high enough, and I am still a little short of qualifications. Not to mention offering sacrifices, I am not qualified to be promoted to an inner disciple. Pindao and fellow Taoist Chen next to me are both from middle-class backgrounds. For example, the top of the mountain where Daoyou Chen lives is called Luopo Mountain, which is not far from here. Taoist friend Caojun will know it as soon as he goes there. As for Daoyou Chen, he used to be as high as me in Taoism."

The man in the dragon robe was once again surprised and confused. Are these two just outer disciples of their respective sects?

Lu Chen turned to look at Chen Ping'an, who was slowly walking behind him, "Fellow Daoist Chen, your mountaintop, in our Aquarius Continent, is considered... a second-rate sect?"

Chen Ping'an walked to Lu Chen and said with a smile: "It's very reluctant. The kind of person who is at the bottom of the second rate and the top of the third rate."

Lu Chen smiled and asked, "Dare you ask me your friend's name?"

The man in the dragon robe hesitated for a moment and said, "Bai Deng."

Chen Pingan said: "To be honest, three thousand years have passed since the battle of Dragon Slaying ended."

Lu Chen echoed: "When we came here, we brought wine to wash away the rain. Now that we're here, it's sunny outside after the rain."

The man in the dragon robe who called himself Bai Deng sat slumped on the dragon chair, crying and laughing, and murmured: "Three thousand years, three thousand years."

Chen Pingan asked with a smile: "Fellow Taoist Master Cao, how did you survive living alone here for three thousand years?"

Bai Deng came back to his senses and said with a smile: "There is a Taoist book in our ancestral family. It talks about great meanings and is indescribable. There are words in the book that can be seen with the eyes, heard with the ears, and restored with the heart."

Lu Chen laughed.

Chen Pingan's heart moved slightly and he silently wrote down this truth.

Bai Deng waved his hand and issued a silent order to expel guests.

Lu Chen waved goodbye and said with a bright smile: "Fellow Taoist Lord Cao, see you again if we are destined."

After walking out of the Laolong Villa, Lu Chen said with a smile: "I talked with that tiger, and I understood what he said, and now he has successfully refined his form."

Chen Pingan nodded and said, "Thank you very much."

"There is no need to be polite between friends."

Lu Chen said guiltily: "It seems that I gained nothing, and it was a waste of time."

Chen Pingan laughed it off.

Lu Chen held the back of his head with both hands and was about to go down the mountain. He turned to look back at the deep pool and said, "Then go back to school?"

In the prosperous wine shop in Jianqi Great Wall, the second shopkeeper earned a lot of money for drinks, plus the income from several near-mass killings, as well as the seals and fans sold by Fatty Yan's family shop in partnership.

It's just that all the immortal money earned was quietly dissipated by the second shopkeeper in a hidden way. It was obtained from the sword cultivator of the Great Wall of Sword Qi and returned to the sword cultivator of the Great Wall of Sword Qi.

How to make money is the way to live in the world. How you spend your money is fundamental to being a human being.

So Lu Chen used his knees to think about what Chen Pingan would do with it if he gained something here.

Chen Pingan nodded and said, "I'm back."

But for some reason, neither party moved.

After a moment of silence, the two of them almost spoke in unison, each revealing the secret.

"Pindao finally knows why you chose the name 'Chen Ji'."

"Lu Chen, you are actually also a sword cultivator, right?"

Once again, both were speechless.

Lu Chen was the first to speak and asked with a smile: "Chen Ping'an, take a step back and say, hypothetical, just hypothetical, Pindao is really a swordsman, can you guess the name of Feijian?"

Chen Pingan asked back: "Qiuhao?"

Lu Chen Youshuo Sword Chapter, the private study built in Baiyu Jingyushu City was named Guanqianjian by Lu Chen.

In the article "On the Equality of Things" that the old scholar highly praised, Lu Chen also said that nothing in the world is greater than the end of a small hair.

Lu Chen's eyes sparkled, he clapped his hands with his fists, and said loudly: "What a good name! That poor man will take ten thousand steps back, and that's it!"
