Chen Qingliu put away his thoughts and asked with a smile: "The specific operation of the rules is really curious. It makes me extremely curious. Does your senior brother Qingjun have any clues and have he deduced it all?"

The Taoist smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Brother made an analogy. The curtain is as heavy as a mountain and is unreachable. Then he is just a speck of dust on the road at the foot of the mountain. It is a luxury to take a detour."

Chen Qingliu nodded, "That's right, otherwise the Taoism of the founder of the Three Religions would become a decoration. But it can be seen that Mr. Sanshan Jiuhou has his own ideas about the trend of this world, and there must be some kind of disagreement.

.Coupled with the push by Mr. Qi and Cui Chan, it is even more confusing for outsiders to see things through smoke and mirrors."

The Taoist priest looked embarrassed and said, "I sincerely ask fellow Taoist Chen to speak carefully."

Fellow Taoist, you are a lonely person, but I am a poor Taoist who has teachers and brothers.

The Taoist priest surnamed Ge suddenly asked, "Why does Fellow Taoist Chen call Xiu Hu by his first name, but Qi Jingchun respectfully calls him Mr. Qi?"

Chen Qingliu said with a smile: "The first person who found the Taoist priest Jia Sheng was Mr. Qi. He invited us to have a drink. In short, we had a good conversation at the wine table."

If you give me face, I will give you face.

This is called Jianghu.

What's more, Qi Jingchun also gave himself a very high evaluation. The key was the other party's sincere words.

When I was young, I had a great longing for Jianghu, just because there was a blue-shirted swordsman in the Jianghu whose only name was Chen.

Chen Qingliu signaled that the Taoist priest could put away the "Yunwo" umbrella, turned to look at Liu Chicheng, and asked: "When you arrived at Luopo Mountain, did you have a drink with fellow Taoist Jingqing?"

Liu Chicheng was confused, "That boy in green named Chen Lingjun, a Nascent Soul realm water dragon?"

Chen Qingliu reached out and held down the disciple's head, "In terms of seniority, if he calls you nephew, you have to nod."

Gu Can asked abruptly: "Master, according to your statement, is Chen Ping'an able to become the final winner because of fate or because he asked for it?"

Chen Qingliu raised his chin towards the Taoist priests. Their Taoist priests were the best at telling fortunes.

The Taoist priest smiled and said: "He who seeks for himself will be blessed."

Gu Can suddenly smiled brightly.

Chen Qingliu had something else on his mind, just because Qi Jingchun took the initiative to drink with him at the same table and said something strange like a prophecy.

It's a pity that there is no white emperor to open his eyes, but fortunately there are green mountains with white heads, which seem to be warm. The old poems are as light as goose yellow wine, and the new sorrow is as thick as the Yellow River waterfall, as if they have not been touched.

Chen Qingliu asked again, but Qi Jingchun only said that he would wait and see, raised his wine bowl and toasted with him, saying with a smile that he would be the first to spare the world, and we will drink.

After thinking about it, Chen Qingliu was still puzzled, so he made a rare trip to Baidi City and asked Zheng Juzhong, "Don't you have the same surname as me?"

Zheng Juzhong immediately understood the crux of the matter, and said with a smile on the spot, since I am not the Taoist ancestor, of course I cannot be Chen Ping'an who went against the current.

————

There is a quiet place with beautiful mountains and clear waters outside Qingfeng City. A foreigner has built a mansion here. Today, a foreign guest with a strange face came.

The person who opened the door was a graceful young maid. The middle-aged man took off his bamboo hat and said with a smile: "My name is Lu Yue. I am from the same hometown as you. I came to visit Senior Brother Wei to reminisce about old times."

The maid named Tao Ya was surprised and said: "Senior Brother Wei?"

Grandpa Wei, who has never accepted a disciple or talked about his master's legacy, when did he have a junior brother? She didn't dare to open the door randomly. The Xu family of Qingfeng City had always suspected that they were accomplices in the theft of Hu'er Town over the years, in case a bad guy came.

?Grandpa Wei has been closed to guests for many years.

The middle-aged man who claimed to be Lu Yue changed his explanation, "I'm looking for Wei Benyuan, Taoist Boyang. I left the town earlier than you, and now I am practicing in Luzhou, Beiju. It is a hilltop that is like incense. For the time being, there are only

Master and apprentice, Tao Ya, please go help and report. If Wei Benyuan doesn’t recognize Lu Yue, I will go home right now, which means the time has not come yet, and I will come to visit next time."

Tao Ya hesitated for a moment and asked Master Lu to wait while she went to report the news to Grandpa Wei who was busy refining alchemy all year round. Wei Benyuan, who was sitting cross-legged on a futon in the alchemy furnace, opened his eyes and saw the girl walking to the door.

At that time, the old man had already stood up and sighed softly. Sooner or later, he would come to the door, but it was just a few years earlier than expected. Now that Bai Shang is here, if he continues to avoid seeing her, it is indeed suspected that he does not care about the friendship of the same family.

.

Wei Benyuan's Taoist name is indeed "Boyang", but this Taoist name has not been used for many years. He only remembered it "accidentally" a few years ago. At that time, the old man quietly left his hometown, Lizhu Cave Sky, with only the old man with him.

Tao Ya, who is regarded as a junior in his family, exchanged land for land with the Xu family in Qingfeng City and chose to settle down and practice Taoism in the place where the Xu family's ancestral home was. This was Wei Benyuan who asked him to take it with him according to the instructions in a certain family letter in the early years.

Tao Ya came here, waiting for the opportunity, and it seems to be related to the Fox Kingdom. Facts have proved that the content of the "letter from home" is true. Tao Ya did get two blessings in the Fox Kingdom, and took the initiative to recognize the owner of a colorful satin belt.

There is a piece of silk that guides the owner to a dry peach branch picked up in the mountains.

The sender of the letter was none other than the famous "Qing Jun" in ancient times, but the person signing the letter was "Jun Qing". Wei Benyuan did not know the true identity of the sender at the time, and mistakenly

He thought he was an ancestral figure who left his hometown in his early years. Wei Benyuan's ability to embark on the path of spiritual practice in this life was also attributed to a letter home sent to Taoye Lane by "Grandmaster Junqing" when he was young.

Wei Benyuan only knew the true identities of himself and the other party after recovering his memory.

Qingjun of Fangzhu Mountain was once personally invited by the Li Sheng, and his seat was located in the revered Fangzhu Mountain. This real land man was responsible for taking charge of the Cave Heaven Blessed Land on the earth and all the earthly immortal books.

Qingjun is also one of the direct disciples of Mr. Sanshan Jiuhou. He once left some footprints in Qidun Mountain.

As a reward for cooperating with his master in setting up the Cave Heaven Formation and the Zhenjian Tower Archway, Qingjun only received a dispensable symbolic reward, which was to take away a carp from Lizhu Cave Heaven, which is what he is today.

Li Jin, the water god of the Chongdan River.

Wei Benyuan went out in person to greet Bai Shang, or the earliest Lu Yue from Fulu Street, later Lu Qing, the founding emperor of the Lu Dynasty, and now the number one swordsman in Luzhou, Beiju.

The old Taoist priest looked complicated and made a bow.

Bai Shang smiled and said, "I've met Senior Brother Wang."

The real person does not show his appearance, and the real person does not show his true appearance.

Both parties are unnamed disciples of Mr. Sanshan Jiuhou, and both parties have been in Lizhudongtian Town, but there are still not many people who know about it.

In the past, there were many people who liked to play chess in the small town. Many wealthy families in Fulu Street and Taoye Lane liked to talk with each other, but there were only three who could be called masters of the chessboard.

In addition to the head of the Li family on Fulu Street, and the Wei Benyuan of Taoye Lane, the town is recognized as the head of the "big landowner" Wei family. The two old people have similar temperaments and have a sworn relationship. They also have a hidden identity.

He is an accomplished monk. In the Lizhu Cave, which is extremely unsuitable for cultivation, he actually cultivated a golden elixir earthly immortal in the past years.

As for the third master, of course it is the gatekeeper Zheng Dafeng.

When Chen Pingan was delivering letters to make money, he once sent two letters to the Wei family at the corner of Taoye Lane. The old man also invited the young man to come into the house to rest and drink water, but the boy declined. Wei Benyuan also reminded Chen Pingan,

In his free time, he went to sit under the locust tree. The reason was that he picked up locust leaves and branches and could take them home to prevent ants, centipedes and other things. The young man silently remembered it in his heart and bowed to the old man at the foot of the steps to thank him.

In his hometown, Wei Benyuan often played chess with Li Xisheng, presented him with several chess books, and repeated those few chess principles.

Li Xisheng and Li Baoping's grandfather preferred talismans in their early years. When the Li Zhudong sky shattered and fell to the ground, the suppression of Qi practitioners by the Great Dao disappeared, and the old man quickly reached the Nascent Soul realm.

Wei Benyuan was fond of refining elixirs, but he was still unable to break the bottleneck of golden elixirs. He continued to refine elixirs in this paradise-like place for more than twenty years, and the old man was not in a hurry.

Later, Li Baoping traveled here and paid a visit. She brought to Grandpa Wei two talismans belonging to her eldest brother Li Xisheng. They were the Pill Formation Talisman and the Niwan Talisman, both of which were Taoist talismans made of blue material. The former Talisman is as bold as a blessed land.

, the golden clouds flow, and the latter is like a purple lotus altar. This is a return gift to thank the old man for helping to protect the Tao. Wei Benyuan can give it to the "peach bud" of a very good background to help her successfully form elixirs.

, and since then, it has been a smooth journey to reach the upper five realms.

Bai Shang glanced at Tao Ya who was still kept in the dark, "Senior Brother Wei, it's a pity."

A pun.

That is to say, Taoya missed out on the blessings of the town and did not stand out from the younger generation and become the winner with the greatest profit. Because according to the arrangement of the old man in the backyard of Yang’s pharmacy, the young people in the town who participated in the “Jiazi test”

Among all generations, the demon race will definitely occupy a place, and the woman in front of me, Tao Ya, is the most promising one.

In other words, Tao Ya's failure to enter the Fox Kingdom is equivalent to staying out of the family, unable to recover the memory of her past life, inheriting a broken Qingqiu ruins, and thus becoming the legitimate fox master of the world.

The old Taoist priest looked upright and carefree, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "It's not a pity. It's just that the people with good intentions lose to the people with good intentions. Otherwise, the wealth will not go to outsiders."

Tao Ya was confused when she heard it, but before today, she had only heard of the term "people with a heart" once, and she remembered it deeply.

I remember that time Grandpa Wei said that she was as caring as the boy who delivered the letter.

Wei Benyuan said with a smile: "Blessings in the world come in different sizes, and just the right amount is the best. Taoya girl has the fortune she has today, which is enough. In the future, the level of her achievements on the great road will only be determined by taking one step at a time."

In the Three Thousand Sayings of Taozu, there is a saying that "the virtue is thicker than that of a child". Yasheng also said something similar, "He who does not lose the heart of a child is called a great man".

Bai Shang asked: "How did senior brother recover his memory?"

Wei Benyuan smiled and said: "There is nothing else to do in refining alchemy in the mountains. I will remember it as I practice it.

Bai Shang couldn't help but laugh. How could he be so alienated when he met a fellow disciple from the same lineage?

Wei Benyuan, the head of the Wei family, is the "ego". The "real self" is the ancient Taoist man whose real name is Wang Min and whose Taoist name is Boyang.

Just like the blind Taoist priest Jia Sheng, the coachman in vain, and the scholar Chen Zhuoliu, these three people are all the "ego" of Chen Qingliu, the man who killed the dragon.

But there are some differences between Wang Min and Chen Qingliu. The Taoist's ego may be an adult. The real self may be a villain.

As one of the unnamed disciples of Mr. Sanshan Jiuhou, Taoist Wang Min. According to legend, this Taoist who likes to observe the precepts and travel to the five capitals has achieved great perfection. He once went to sea to visit immortals according to his master's decree.

It's just that he once had a Tao discussion with Zou Zi and lost. Wang Min, who was determined not to be limited by Yin Yang and the Five Elements, failed miserably. As a result, his Taoist mind and body were stuck in the mud and he could not extricate himself.

Discussions on the mountain top may seem illusory, but in fact they are far more dangerous than the seemingly life-and-death battles between monks.

The price for losing that debate on Taoism was that Taoist Wang Min had to stay in the Lizhu Cave for life after life, with the earth as a prison.

Wei Benyuan sighed: "In fact, this journey is not in vain. In the rolling world, cultivate one's true potential, cultivate one's aspirations, stay simple and simple, and only follow the Tao."

Bai Shang smiled and said: "Sure enough, refining elixirs and drawing talismans is not as good as practicing swordsmanship."

Wei Benyuan glared and said, "Why are you talking to senior brother?"

Bai Shang said: "They are all anonymous."

Wei Benyuan asked: "Do you regret leaving your hometown?"
