Gu Can had a good chat with the old Jin Dan, who was the national preceptor. He was not pretentious and understood his interests, so they hit it off. They chatted for a while, and they sat together on the threshold of the hall. There was no tense and hostile atmosphere. The palace maid indeed brought the imperial dining room.

After carefully preparing the food, they only dared to glance at the unknown young man in Confucian shirt from a distance, and then they walked softly and silently, like a cat walking at night, with their heads lowered to the outside of the main hall.

Lie took the two food boxes, and Gu Can smiled and thanked them. The old man said that he didn't need to worry about the food boxes left here. He would take care of them. They then quietly left. The old man just ate one piece.

He stopped making pastries because he couldn't eat anything too sweet because it would stick to his teeth. As Gu Can chewed the palace delicacies, the old man grabbed a flea from his body and gently twisted it with his fingers. There was a snap sound, as if every flea was pulled out from his body.

A flea is just a silent complaint. Huang Lie, who has been the imperial master of Yuxuan Kingdom for decades, said to himself that he thinks it is very interesting to pick out fleas in front of the officials.

Gu Can nodded and agreed, which was very elegant. The old man asked Gu Can if he was the Master Liu of the Longquan Sword Sect. Gu Can smiled and shook his head and said no. The reason was that the Master Liu was not as easy to talk to as him. He, Liu Xianyang, always acted like Gu.

If it had been him who ignored his head, the palace would have been in trouble a long time ago. For example, Liu Xianyang would directly block the door between you and Xue Pang earlier. Huang Lie was even more unsure of the identity of the young man in front of him, so he started talking about Sect Master Liu.

, the tone is so casual? It can’t be the one from Piyun Mountain, right? It’s absolutely impossible, could it be the Mi Da Sword Immortal who has a strong sword spirit? I heard that this Jade Sword Cultivator from the hidden official lineage in the summer palace came to

Haoran Tianxia is now in the realm of immortals. Does that mean that the water and soil in our Haoran world are not much worse than the Great Wall of Sword Qi? Gu Can seemed to have guessed the old man's thoughts, but still did not rush to declare his family status.

The Yuxuan Kingdom was a small country in Aquarius Continent, with neither a high nor a low position. And because it was one of the vassal states of the Great Li Dynasty, it was dependent on others. Huang Lie's title of national master was just an empty decoration. It was said that one person was worth less than ten thousand people.

The national preceptor who is above people is nothing more than the "Golden Pill" who was paid by the Xue family to support the scene. In the end, it is a completely different situation from the embroidered Cui Han to the Song family of the Great Li Dynasty. It is not only the level of the two parties, but also the level of the two parties.

The disparity is as wide as the sky and the earth, and because the national preceptor Cui Chan is looking for trouble, Huang Lie is hiding from trouble. Of course, Huang Lie admires the embroidered tiger from the bottom of his heart. The reason is very simple. In the eyes of the old man,

, without the great Li cavalry and the national master Cui Xuan, the Aquarius Continent with hundreds of countries would not only have generals but no country, people are worse than ghosts. After all, a watchdog in peaceful times lives more like a person in troubled times.

personal.

Perhaps because he thought it was not a problem to sit around facing each other like this all the time, Huang Lie found a lame excuse and asked tentatively: "How did fellow Taoist know Master Chen?"

Gu Can didn't answer the question, "When I was young and ignorant, I heard someone tell me a truth that I thought was very empty at the time. He said that being an abacus and an accountant who deals with numbers all day long may not be really interesting, but at least you can work hard.

For fun, it can be as small as calculating the daily expenses of a small sect, as large as studying a mountain sect, or even a country's branch records, you can discover a lot of hidden knowledge that is easily ignored by people, as long as someone studies deeply enough and

If you are thorough, you can gradually see through the clouds and mist the spirit of a country, the trajectory of its rise and fall, and the traces of its policies. It is like having a real account book on the table that removes all embellishments and falsehoods. Every item in the account book

A context is a clear wheel track. When we are willing to be patient and listen carefully, we can hear clearly the thunder of how history came and where it is going."

Huang Lie thought about it for a moment and realized that it was indeed an unheard-of novel statement. The old man turned his head and looked at the many palaces and sighed: "Of course the idea is very good, but it is simple to say but difficult to do. It requires great perseverance, great perseverance and great skill.

This feat cannot be accomplished. The threshold for this matter is too high. How many people in a country can have access to these confidential files and casually browse the account books of a country's Ministry of Accounts?"

Gu Can didn't comment and smiled.

The small town of Niping Lane, Luopo Mountain in the west, Qingxia Island in Shujian Lake, the small wine shop and summer palace of the Jianqi Great Wall, plus the current Tongyezhou Qingping Sword Sect.

Huang Lie glanced at Gu Can's Confucian shirt and asked with a smile: "Do you think something is wrong, fellow Taoist?"

Gu Can smiled and said: "The most sage master once said, 'A scholar is determined by the Tao.' Later generations of sages followed up by adding some relatively pragmatic principles. But the predecessors were making a backward deduction, so this matter naturally

Suddenly it becomes extremely difficult to reach the sky, and it is easy for people to take this matter too seriously, and inevitably they will regard it as a fearful path and become timid. This is what makes it even more difficult."

Huang Lie nodded, "Fellow Taoist, what you said is true. I have learned from it."

Gu Can said: "Shall I say something offensive to you, this senior? It seems that your role as a national teacher is a bit unworthy of your name?"

Huang Lie smiled heartily and said: "This is not an offensive statement. Just say that I am not doing my job properly and have to squat in a manhole instead of shit. It is a good thing."

Gu Can said: "In the final analysis, the Xue family of Yuxuanguo cannot really make the best use of things and does not know how to use people to do things."

Huang Lie smiled and said, "I don't feel comfortable saying such things."

Gu Can said: "It's okay, the debt is all on me."

Huang Lie sighed, "As the old saying goes, if you are not deaf or dumb, you will not be a writer."

Gu Can nodded, "Every family has its own sutras that are difficult to recite."

Huang Lie sighed for no reason, "Taoism has Taoism's method, Buddhism has Buddhist practice, and Confucianism has Confucian living methods. You Confucians must make the framework of the real world clear and clear.

I want people to be able to use it without learning. The cultural tradition and tradition are passed down from generation to generation. Each generation has its own learning and problems, and each generation has its entrustment to be gentle. Therefore, scholars inside and outside the temple are willing to treat those who entrust their lives with others.

Self-righteousness. I guess fellow Taoists are also like this?"

Gu Can smiled and said: "Senior, I'm mistaken. I'm not a serious scholar. Being polite and observing the rules is completely a last resort for me."

Huang Lie asked: "Have you ever suffered a loss?"

Gu Can nodded and said: "In this matter, I have fallen down and suffered, and I have gained a bit of memory. Some people have said that the stupidest person in the world is the one who suffers in vain."

Huang Lie smiled and said nothing. He had lived for a long time and could still understand some of the hidden meanings. The "someone" Gu Can called before and the "someone" now must be Shanzhu Chen.

Then Gu Can said something that made the old man confused, "The decisive battle between the two countries will not only take place on the battlefield, but the two armies will not only fight against each other on the battlefield."

Gu Can explained: "You can replace the two countries with good and evil, and replace the two armies with yourself and others."

Huang Lie smacked his lips and put his palm on his chin, "It's a bit chewy."

Huang Lie asked with a smile: "Fellow Taoist, we have a good chat, but why can't we tell you what's going on?"

Gu Can closed the food box, clapped her hands, and said with a smile: "My name is Gu Can. I am from the same hometown as Chen Ping'an. We both live in Niping Lane."

Huang Lie was stunned and speechless, as if he had been hit by a sap, and his heart was shaken. Isn't the madman Gu Can, the direct disciple of Zheng Juzhong in Baidi City, busy making achievements in another continent?

And according to the gossip on Aopingzhou Mountain, don't they say that Chen Ping'an and Gu Can have completely broken up a long time ago? It seems that they broke up on bad terms in Shujian Lake and had a bleak ending of never seeing each other again.

That’s why when the Luopo Mountain group visited Zhengyang Mountain, there was the Sword Immortal Liu Xianyang, but Gu Can was nowhere to be seen. It’s only right that one is a close disciple of the Literary Sage lineage, and the other is the direct descendant of Haoran, a giant in the demonic way.

It’s better not to urinate in the same pot. If you have different Taoism, you can’t work together. When the incense and love accumulated in your youth are squandered, the two parties will definitely drift apart and lose their books. According to common sense, such two people should practice separately.

When we reach the top, we will meet each other on the road in the future. If we don’t hate each other, I’m afraid we are nostalgic for each other?

Gu Can put his hands on his sleeves, narrowed his eyes and asked with a smile: "I heard it was me. Senior is very surprised?"

The old man also put his hands into his sleeves in a decent manner, but he quickly took out his hands and said angrily: "It's the same as putting your hands into sleeves. If you do it, you will have the style of a noble man. If I do it, I can only look like a nobleman."

What a rustic farmer."

Gu Can burst out laughing.

Gu Can said: "Huang Lie, please discuss something?"

Huang Lie actually shuddered and immediately said decisively: "Killing the emperor by a Qi practitioner is the biggest taboo. Nowadays, the rules of the Confucian Temple are very strict. You will be arrested and sent to the academy to be imprisoned. No, absolutely not! What's more!

Emperor Xue is my employer after all. I cannot do such an ungrateful thing! Gu Can, if you are determined to go on a killing spree here, I will definitely not be able to change the outcome. I will pay for it with my life.

To be honest, I am not willing to give up, so I have to bite the bullet and block me. You can beat me until I vomit blood and then faint. Please don't hit me too hard or too light, so that I can respect my status as a national teacher and my own conscience.

, this is a somewhat acceptable explanation!”

Gu Can couldn't help laughing, "Senior is very quick to talk."

Huang Lie wondered: "Isn't this the case?"

Gu Can said: "I'm not a fool. My current level is far from enough for me to compete with the rules of the Confucian Temple. What I want to discuss with you is that... we have a good conversation.

Seeing that they have hit it off, instead of receiving a tight salary from the Xue family of Yuxuan Kingdom every year, Huang Lie, the national teacher, would rather change his cage and change the bird, change the mountain, get a new identity, earn money from gods, and achieve success as a monk.

hold up."

Huang Lie frowned and said, "What mountain top and what identity?"

Wouldn't it be possible for me, a cultivator with an innocent family background, to go to the White Emperor City in the Middle Earth to earn a living? When changing the cultivator's family tree, Huang Lie thought that he was not so thick-skinned.

Moreover, the outside world said that there are so many strange people in Baidi City. He, a golden elixir monk, entered Baidi City. Even with Gu Can's guidance and paving the way, he would really be able to eat well, drink hot food, and enjoy the blessings? In this Yuxuan

In the capital of the country, if nothing else, Huang Lie can at least have a peaceful sleep every day.

Gu Can stood up and said slowly: "I invite you to a new sect without red tape to serve as a registered worshipper. Don't worry, it is the kind of real worshiper who has a seat in the ancestral hall. I can promise you that if you don't want to do anything, you can be free.

If you want to do something, you will be very busy. It only depends on your own wishes. In addition, as the meeting gift of the sect leader, there are two or three Taoist secrets that allow Huang Lie to become a Nascent Soul monk. If you find another one, you will have a chance to be among the top five in the future.

As for whether you can finally break through the realm, or even take another step forward, cultivation is ultimately your own business, and it is not a child's play. No one can guarantee that you will be able to cross one or two big steps."

Huang Lie stood up subconsciously, "I have to ask, what do you see in me when fellow Taoist fellow Taoist is so sincere?"

Gu Can said with a smile: "On the one hand, I am getting along well with you and I like you. On the other hand, I feel that your golden elixir bottleneck is not unbreakable, it is just a lack of opportunity and qualifications. A Yuanying realm monk, no matter where he is,

They are all relatively valuable. For example, my first master, Jiejiang Zhenjun Liu Zhimao, had been a Nascent Soul Realm Immortal for many years. Back then, in Shujian Lake, he was also an existence where wind and rain prevailed.

He is as big a figure as a local emperor."

Huang Lie asked cautiously: "Fellow Taoist, are you ready to establish a sect?"

Gu Can nodded and said from the bottom of his heart: "My senior brother Fu Xi and I will each take away a group of people from Baidi City. Baidi City will soon become an empty city. We must each build our own ancestral palace."

Create a lower sect."

Huang Lie said: "What if I refuse the invitation from fellow Taoist?"

Gu Can said: "Don't worry, there will be no consequences. To be honest, it's hard to tell the truth. What's the point of arguing with a golden elixir now? We'll lose our status. If you and I say goodbye today, we'll just go our separate ways. But in the future,

It will be difficult for you to join when that sect starts to improve. Of course Huang Lie can stay here and wait for death. Whether he can break through the sect or not, he can only leave it to fate, but he can live a comfortable and stable life.

, you should think that the rich man is looking for a place to retire. Of course, you can also bet on the gambling table, and seek wealth in danger. While you still have some spirit and have not been exhausted by the world that has hit the wall everywhere, you can take advantage of a brand-new building.

Sect, let’s take a big gamble and pursue the true path to see if we can add another upper-level five monk to Aquarius Continent in the future.”

Huang Lie's eyes sparkled, and he stared at Gu Can's face with his fists. The old man smiled and said: "Is it a good thing that there is no such shop in this village? Since they say that moving a tree will kill someone, then let's ask for it.

A request?!"

Gu Can asked coldly, with playful eyes, "Aren't you afraid that I'm lying to you?"

Huang Lie was stunned at first, then smiled and said: "Since Sect Leader Gu and Chen Yinguan are still friends, and there is a big deviation from the rumors from the outside world, there must be a bottom line in doing things."
