The two parties walked down the mountain. During this period, it started to rain without warning. Lu Chen smiled and conjured up two oil-paper umbrellas and asked Chen Pingan if he needed a raincoat. Chen Pingan shook his head, reached out and took the oil-paper umbrella, hesitated for a moment, and slowly went down the mountain.

, took the initiative to ask for a bottle of wine from Lu Chen, and the two of them drank while walking. It was true that they brought wine to beat the rain. They held an umbrella and went down the mountain. They walked out of the Dragon Palace ruins together and suddenly returned to the country road to the village school. Chen Pingan put away the oil paper.

Umbrella, said: "With or without the flying sword, can I become a sword cultivator? The key point is Zhu Lian?"

Lu Chen shook the rainwater off his umbrella vigorously and said with a smile: "If you see through it, you won't have any friends."

Chen Pingan glanced at the rain-soaked and muddy cloth shoes on his feet, concentrated for a moment, sighed, raised his head and said with a smile: "I am called a critical friend."

There is no need to doubt Lu Chen's intelligence and methods. He has many advanced skills and is recognized by the world. If he had been born seven thousand years earlier, one of the ten great men in the ancient world, Lu Chen would definitely have a place among them.

In a sense, Chen Pingan used the method of talisman clone this time to sharpen his realm and melt as much knowledge as possible from the three religions and hundreds of schools of thought, and finally created the prototype of the three thousand small worlds for the bird in the cage and the moon at the bottom of the well.

Foreshadowing is a kind of imitation of "stopping when it's good". For example, the sword spirit, or sword holder, had previously revealed the secret, saying that Lu Chen might be practicing boxing secretly in an attempt to climb to the top of martial arts. This is Chen Ping'an

One of the clues to this conjecture is found at the waterside. Since it is all just guessing anyway, you might as well be bold and imagine that the headmaster Lu Chen, who is gradually becoming serious, is powerful, even more powerful, and even... the most powerful existence in the world in the future.

Lu Chen raised the umbrellas in his hands, like holding a sword, waving his arms in a circle, and said frankly: "Whether you want to become a sword cultivator or not is not always a good thing. For my own practice, it will cause endless troubles. It is a kind of stupidity that is narrowly focused on its own path."

Lu Chen changed from a Taoist priest who aspired to the fifteenth realm, from being vain to being pragmatic, and turned into a pure swordsman. He must have had no choice. Bai Yujing's three masters had to increase their combat power to make this move.

, is a helpless act.”

Having said this, Lu Chen turned to look at Chen Pingan with a smile, "Don't be nervous, it has nothing to do with you. They are all issues left over from history that have never been completely resolved."

Every family has its own sutras that are difficult to recite, and this is true for every country in the world.

"Director Lu has good intentions, and it can be regarded as a precautionary measure."

After Chen Ping'an gave this fair evaluation, he paused for a moment and said: "If you don't give examples when reasoning, it means you didn't talk about it. For example?"

Lu Chen held an umbrella and poked it as he walked, a bit like the young Liu Xianyang back then, and said slowly: "For example, the weather has changed, Bai Yujing is crumbling, and the orthodoxy of a world is in danger. Another example is the development of Qingming World. Senior Brother Yu has to fight with Half

The enemy in the world, weak and invincible Senior Brother Yu, is actually in danger of his life. It seems that the incense of Bai Yujing that can last for hundreds of thousands of years may be cut off. No matter what, I must change from a bystander to become a side by side with Senior Brother Yu.

By."

"If you want to be qualified to stand side by side with Senior Brother Yu and face the tide of the world together, Pindao has only two choices, either to advance to the fifteenth level of the Pseudo Realm in one step and shock the heroes of the world. Force Qing Ming to no longer be able to attack the stone with an egg.

There is no chance of winning."

"Either you slap yourself in the face, and make all the achievements you have achieved over the past three thousand years fall short. You have five dreams and seven mental states, and you have worked so hard until the end, and all you can do is draw water from a bamboo basket. You just choose one of the sword paths to climb up, and the infinity is close to the fifteenth realm.

But it is infinitely far away from the fifteenth realm. Things that could not be done in the past three thousand years, but there is a glimmer of hope, may not be done in the next six thousand years. The poor Taoist can only go his own way and take over the power to teach the world from Senior Brother Yu, and then

There is no one-hundred-year limit. If I were to sit in Bai Yujing for a long time, my final situation would be similar to that of the boss of the Sword Qi Great Wall."

"Kill to stop killing, no matter who it is, they will die if they violate the prohibition."

If this is the case, it means that there will no longer be Lu Shen of the past in this world.

There is no need for Bai to take the initiative to visit Nanhua City.

After saying this in one breath, Lu Chen threw the empty wine bottle into the stream, "It makes me feel bad just thinking about it, but I can't do it if I don't think about it. It can only make me feel even worse."

Chen Ping'an smiled and comforted: "One kind of rice can support hundreds of people. If you are in charge of the family for three years, you will be looked down upon by a dog, let alone if you have been in charge of the world for a hundred years."

Lu Chen looked strange. It turned out that he, who was his junior brother in Bai Yujing, used similar reasoning to comfort senior brother Yu, but in the end he got a sideways glance. Senior brother Yu obviously didn't appreciate it.

Chen Ping'an asked: "The half of the world you just called is the half of Qingming's world outside Bai Yujing, or does Bai Yujing itself include it?"

Lu Chen laughed and said, "Maybe it's possible."

Jiang Yunsheng, the "little Taoist boy" in Shenxiao City, Zhang Fenghai, the "little Yudou" in Yushu City, etc., they can all be regarded as native Baiyujing Taoist officials. The different contexts, spiritual paths and mental trends revealed in them are all revealed, one by one.

"Accidental" appears a lot, but it is actually a certain necessity.

When Lu Chen lent Chen Ping'an the Taoist skills of the Fourteenth Realm, the sequelae have gradually become apparent. It was like a backlash, allowing Chen Ping'an to temporarily obtain a realm that was not his own. With the status of the Fourteenth Realm, he walked through the wild wilderness with a sword.

, with the height of a monk in the Fourteenth Realm, he views the mountains and rivers of Aquarius Continent like lines on the palm of his hand. When he returns to the realm, there will be a gap, such as a poor child suddenly becoming rich, or a rich child falling into decline again. If it continues

If it is not properly resolved, Chen Ping'an will sooner or later become... world-weary.

Therefore, Lu Chen's return to Haoran this time, apart from looking for Ning Ji, is a business matter, and he also has a selfish motive, which is to see Chen Ping'an's current state of mind. If you have the opportunity, I would like to remind Chen Ping'an. If you are willing, Lu Chen will also

Help to check for leaks and fill in the gaps.

This is why Lu Chen is Lu Chen, and the reason why there can only be one Lu Chen in the world.

Then Chen Ping'an did not disappoint Lu Chen. A total of nine talisman clones, seven visible and two hidden, were scattered all over the continent, either among the people in the city or at the foot of the mountain, and the highest was no more than halfway up the mountain.

This is Chen Pingan's remedy. He must deepen his impression of the human world and the mountains before going to the Fifth Realm.

Of course, there is also an unknown hidden attempt that Chen Pingan made intentionally and unknowingly. Lu Chen, at the bank of the ancient pond, had roughly guessed why Chen Pingan worked so hard to "deceive himself and others" and then hide it from the truth.

As his real identity is here, Chen Ping'an goes by the pseudonym "Chen Ji".

In fact, Lu Chen had noticed some clues when he and Gao Niang, the God of the Thin Eyebrow River, had been drinking at the same table before, but Chen Pingan himself didn't take it seriously, and Gao Niang was just a kind of flattery.

For many words, the speaker has no intention but the listener has the intention. Then there are still some words, the speaker has the intention but the listener has no intention.

For example, "It has become a monument, and those who look at it later will also feel the elegance and elegance." Another example is "It is another long-term spectator, and no one can leave."

Lu Chen looked at Chen Pingan and patted his shoulder, "You are much better than me in some things."

Therefore, Lu Chen is willing to pretend that he doesn't know about this matter and sees through it without telling the truth.

Just because Chen Ping'an at this moment was destined not to understand these contents, Lu Chen changed the subject and continued: "Because you can't have the Yin Shen, you have to settle for the next best thing. Starting from the Big Dipper Bureau and having nine clones, you are completely

There’s no need to belittle yourself and think of it as a parody of Lu Chen’s Five Dreams and Seven Minds. How old are you? It’s quite tacky to have such attainments.”

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "Daozhang Lu's boasting method is even less tacky."

Lu Chen asked: "Can I take the liberty to ask, why did you fail when you tried to break through twice?"

In the private dojo within the Changchun-Dongtian of Mi Xuefeng, Chen Ping'an had already entered the Jade Pure Realm twice without success, so the third time, he was extremely cautious. No matter how cautious he was, he could not be too careful.

Chen Ping'an hesitated for a moment, but then spoke frankly about the rough process and ending of the two retreats, "In the first retreat, I encountered a huge number of inner demons, which was very different from the past experiences of Nascent Soul monks that I know. But these

The inner demon is too fragile. Although it seems to be full of dangers, I have gone through some difficulties and killed them one by one. It was the kind of near miss that was a false alarm, so I noticed something was wrong, so in the Yupu Realm

I stood still and did not dare to take that step, fearing that there would be a huge trap. Before the second retreat, I made a series of targeted arrangements in advance and felt that everything was foolproof. The result was within that situation.

, it was different again. There was no specific inner demon that manifested. The sky and the earth were vast, and I was alone, walking alone. Then I found that there was a problem with my memory. I couldn’t remember many people and things, but I still couldn’t remember them every time.

Take one step and forget something. If I stop in the same place, the long river of time will stagnate without any change. When I take a step back, I will remember one more person or one thing. If I keep going forward, I will forget something.

Forgetting, since it is a retreat, and you want to break through, you can't just keep going in circles, beating the wall, walking in a hazy and confused way for who knows how long and how far, and finally there is a long river that is not wide but insurmountable.

On the other side of the river, there seemed to be faceless people standing, staring at me. I knew they all recognized me, and were even the most important people in my life, but I just couldn't remember them. The more I thought about it,

Remembering them, the river becomes wider and wider. The most terrifying thing is that when I look back, I find that the people around me who used to have clear faces have become blurred. My Taoist heart has not collapsed because of this.

On the contrary, I became more determined. I seemed to have made a decision to choose the lesser of two evils through countless careful calculations and reasoning. But only my intuition told me that it was rationally correct.

A spiritual path... that is not as straight as I expected, can also be climbed high, even to the top, but there will be two... me, two myself, and two Chen Ping'an."

Chen Ping'an, who rarely sighed, couldn't help but let out a long sigh after saying these inner words.

Lu Chen smiled and said: "If you withdraw from this weird state of mind, will you feel that you are not bothering yourself?"

Chen Ping'an said helplessly: "I thought about it for a long time in the dojo, but there was no answer. When I walked out of the dojo, I was forced to cut away from these thoughts so as not to affect my daily life."

Lu Chen stretched out his arm, holding the "long sword", and gently played with the grass and trees on the roadside. He said some digressions and revealed the secret, "I made some deductions with the help of a foreign object over Bai Yujing's side.

, I calculated that you were right not to open the picture of the immortal in Ye Yunyun’s hand at Pushan Yuncaotang. Because there is a fake Qi Jingchun hidden in it, which is..."

Lu Chen raised his finger and pointed at the sky, "It's that guy's imaginary Qi Jingchun. If you open the scroll in Tongyezhou and meet this Qi Jingchun, you will be in big trouble. This kind of trouble is not meant to cause you to stay stagnant in Earthly Immortal for a long time.

Level, on the contrary, can help you break through a similarly false inner demon. In the Qingping Sword Sect dojo, you can rise to Yupu without any stagnation. You can even quickly cross the Immortal Realm and enter the Ascension Realm like a broken bamboo. This

It is to pull back the seedlings and use the Taoist heart of a Qi practitioner to nourish and strengthen your divinity. The result of this kind of behavior is a bit similar to when I gave up the Five Dreams and Seven Hearts in exchange for a pure sword cultivator. In the short term, it is a great good thing, but in the long term

There will be endless troubles.”

Chen Pingan was horrified.

After Lu Chen said these words, he couldn't help but cursed. He stretched out his arm and wiped his nose. It turned out that his nose was bleeding. Lu Chen raised his head and rubbed his nose gently to stop the bleeding first.

All of a sudden, he let go completely, cursing and cursing Zhou Mi for being a haunted piece of shit. Zhou Mi, if you have the ability, come to the human world and fight with a poor bastard. You bully a Yin God using an ancient heaven as a dojo.

What kind of ability is Lu Chen who has not returned to his position as the Yang God...

Chen Ping'an turned to look at Lu Chen. Lu Chen waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, we're far away after all. This bitch Zhou Mi can't use his full strength. It's just a blow equivalent to that of a peak monk in the Fourteenth Realm. Drizzle, no

Does it hurt or not..."

Chen Pingan was silent for a moment and reminded: "Director Lu, your nose bleeds again. Wipe it."

Lu Chen raised his hand to wipe away the nosebleed, and continued to talk like a shrew, cursing Zhou Mi for giving birth to a son without an eye, being struck by lightning while walking, dying and not being able to afford a coffin board...

Chen Pingan just wanted to speak.

In an instant, Lu Chen changed from a sickly look to a vigorous one. He said with great energy, "What are you thinking about? If you change Lu Chen in your heart to Zhou Mi, it would be too early. How would you have any chance of winning?"

Please don’t do things like giving away people’s lives to gain military exploits just because of your own emotions. You are a person who has been a hidden official. This is such a simple truth that I don’t need to say more.”

Chen Pingan asked: "How is the injury?"

Lu Chen said arrogantly: "No matter how good the relationship is, no matter how friends we are, we will still inevitably have a fight in the future. How can I let you know the depth of the poor Taoist's ability to take a beating early on?"

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "Since Director Lu has said so, then I believe it."

Lu Chen nodded vigorously and said: "No one needs to worry about Pindao. Pindao will just brag about it today!"
