The sky and the earth are clear and bright, washing away the old dust.

Chen Ping'an held an oil-paper umbrella under his arm and slowly walked towards the small rented house. Although he was seriously injured, his weight was relieved.

Bypassing the familiar Yamen Shrine, when he used to run a fortune-telling stall and work as a Taoist priest, Chen Pingan often climbed over the wall and came here to watch the intrigues of the subordinate officials and study their speaking skills.

Using his own methods, Chen Ping'an discovered Gu Can's traces. Chen Ping'an spoke to him and gave Gu Can an address, agreeing to meet there.

Of course, Earth Immortals and monks in the upper five realms often have ways to cover up the weather. Gu Can did it deliberately because he was worried that Chen Ping'an would miss him.

Chen Ping'an walked into a Tianshui alley familiar with the road. Three practitioners came towards him from a distance. Among them was a strong man with arms as long as his knees. He was leaning on the package and was speaking in a low voice to comfort a man with a face like a face next to him.

The young man with a crown of jade but a dejected look said, "Hong Tu, so what if you are no longer a boy. Although you cannot be as extraordinary as the ancient swordsmen and learn how to take the head with the flying sword of the founder, you still have to be invincible in the world and become famous in the world.

Only when you are in a good position do you not belittle yourself, become discouraged, and waste your time, materials, and resources."

The young man nodded dully, not knowing whether he listened to it or whether it was going in one ear and out the other.

Seeing the green-shirted figure at the corner of the alley, the man glanced quickly and didn't take it too seriously. He just lowered his voice and spoke to the young man named Hong Tu.

The young woman who was dancing squares with her feet together, with fresh bones and a charming face, immediately behaved herself when she saw her uncle looking at her. The man then turned around and continued to talk to them: "This time, the master orders you to follow me down the mountain and travel.

I traveled a million miles across the Seven Kingdoms before I could return to my sect. I hope you will understand the principle that there are people outside the mountains and there are people outside the mountains. You must know that there are countless strange people and strangers buried in the dust of the world. Often it is only because of the fate that the law has not arrived, and the real person does not show his face, or

We pass each other in the busy city, or we don’t know each other across the street.”

What a coincidence. The woman raised her eyebrows and couldn't help but smile: "Uncle Master, there is someone walking away with a sword in front of me. Is he what Uncle Master calls an expert?"

There are some things that a man should not say out loud. This time he left the sect and gained experience in the world of mortals. First of all, he wanted Hong Tu to relax and not be so lifeless. He always felt that he could not practice the magic of the Immortal family, so he felt despair, which prompted him to make a few things in the world.

It was a chivalrous thing to help him regain his morale. Furthermore, it was to let the direct disciple who was secretly appointed as his successor by the master behind him to see more of the world, mainly to come to a certain Taoist temple in the capital of Yuxuan Kingdom to help her find a Taoist priest.

An opportunity for the immortal family. It turns out that there are three natural red lines on her eyebrows in heaven, which are the signs of the so-called killing calamity in the mountains. Therefore, she still needs to be brought to hone in the world of mortals for a few years to get rid of all the evil spirits and know how to hide.

Only with sharp principles can you learn my family's immortal method. In short, it is to let her know that it is far from enough to compare with the best, and to make Hongtu feel that it is more than enough to compare with the lower. The leader cannot be said to have bad intentions.

Seeing that there was still a long distance between him and the guest in green shirt, the man still used the secret method of gathering sound to form a line, which was not passed down by his master, and gave instructions to the two juniors: "Baoshu, Hongtu, let's travel the rivers and lakes

, when you meet a stranger for the first time, it depends on the level of the person's skills and martial arts skills. It will be easy for those who meet him, but not for those who are difficult. Remember to pay extra attention to their breathing and footsteps. For example, the person in front of you does have some martial arts skills.

It’s just that his face is slightly pale, his breathing is slightly stagnant, and the clarity and turbidity are different, and the force of each step landing is uneven. It can be seen that he had worked well before, but he may have become a little weaker due to excessive drinking and sex.”

Chen Pingan had no choice but to pretend not to hear this comment.

The young woman named Baoshu in the team is indeed suitable for practicing Taoism. She is indeed a piece of jade and has the qualifications to be an Earth Immortal.

They probably all came into being at the right time. Nowadays, there are such characters in every sect in the world. Some of the major sects are very busy.

Nian Ganlang of the Punishment Department had secretly sent more manpower to Aquarius Continent and even Tongye Continent to look for all kinds of Taoist embryos.

The sixteen geniuses sent to Luopo Mountain by the Dali Imperial Court have already taken the military ferry and will arrive at Niujiao Ferry soon.

The woman asked: "Uncle Gao, did I hear Master He say that there is a ferry, an inn and a ferry in the world? As long as someone finds the exact address, they will see all the monks and Qi refining gods?"

The man smiled and said: "To put it lightly, it's not so easy to meet them. Uncle He, you just accidentally met a group of Qi refiners in the deserted mountain temple."

"I heard from the master that since ancient times, there have been land gods and goddesses who have seen the dragon but never seen the tail. When they first learned Taoism, they were often ordered by the sect master to teach them to make an oath. They should not show their sacredness casually in front of the common people, and they should not do it in the mountains.

You can freely perform immortal magic outside the mountains, do not seek fame and fame in the world of mortals outside the mountains, and be greedy for worldly wealth, so as not to mislead others and make them mistakenly think that refining qi and cultivating Taoism is a smooth road and some kind of shortcut."

"Let's just say that the founder of our sect, although he is a genius, he still has to go through countless hardships. When he has perfected his merits, he finally perfected a flying sword. Within a hundred feet, the blue light is dazzling, and he can cut off the heads of thieves and bandits at will.

, such as searching a bag to retrieve an object, it is easy to reverse the palm, which is the state of the ancient swordsman."

More than two hundred years ago, Lao Huang experienced that a fairy mansion in the mountains with numerous fairy sites in local chronicles gradually turned into a martial arts sect that only taught fists and kicks.

The few volumes of Taoism left by the founder can no longer be studied by anyone except the current leaders.

No matter whether you have a rich family background or a master in the mountains, you are afraid of becoming an old trend.

The woman looked longingly and said: "Uncle Gao, I heard that there is a Taoist priest named Wu in the capital. He is proficient in numerology and is very accurate in fortune-telling. He has the reputation of being an iron-clad god. His fortune-telling stall is nearby. Shall we go and have a look?"

The man smiled and said: "The person who shows his appearance in the market is not a real person, but it is unlikely that he is a god. When we go to Chongyang Temple, if you are still free, you can go to the stall to try your luck. If that person is really a strange person who is playing games in the world of mortals.

Strangers are what you should be born into."

In an alley, the two parties approached.

Not to mention the legendary people who have become immortals by cultivating Taoism. They are full of energy and do not want to sleep. Even the people who practice martial arts and have a restrained spirit should not be so sleepy and drowsy during the day.

The man looked at the other party and felt very sorry, but he did not forget to take advantage of every opportunity and warned the two juniors. He gathered his voices together and said: "The founder of our sect has a saying: wine, sex, wealth, and material possessions can make people feel exhausted day and night.

.A peaceful family is the only way to achieve enlightenment. Sex and lust between men and women are the worst way to achieve immortality. This person is light-footed and extremely sleepy. If the head brother were here, all he had to do was recite the incantation, take a sip of talisman water, and spray it on his face.

This will free you from the entanglement of Sandman's nightmare and restore your mind to fullness. If you can learn to exercise restraint in the future, this person's path to martial arts will surely not stop here."

The two sides passed each other.

After walking out for more than ten steps, Baoshu laughed in a low voice: "Master is famous for his kindheartedness. According to his temper, he will definitely stop and have a good chat with this person."

People of the same generation as the leader, except for her uncle Gao Zhu, privately said that her master was a good gentleman. When there was injustice outside the mountain, she had to take care of it. When she encountered the unfortunate people in the world, she would help. This would harm the development of the sect and itself.

She has practiced a lot, but the headmaster always said that suffering losses is a blessing. Not long after she came to the mountain, she also accidentally heard some harsh words in the past few years, saying that the headmaster was too soft-hearted and not strong in Taoism, so he was not like a Taoist.

, which resulted in him having only academic ability but no moral ability. Deep in her heart, she felt that these statements were correct.

A person who practices Taoism should look like a person among gods and immortals. He should not put his clear Taoist heart that should be shining brightly in the mire and soil his own spirit.

Hong Tu didn't know whether it was due to an accident or a blessing in his heart, but he suddenly turned his head and happened to see the man in blue shirt with a sword on his back turning his head to look towards him, and he looked at him.

I heard a strange voice say: "If you have a leisurely time, young hero, you can look for Taoist Master Wu's stall and calculate your future. It's very effective. The price is fair and you can't be deceived. I'm sure you won't waste your money."

."

Hong Tu was shocked in his heart. He saw the other person pointing at his ear, perhaps indicating the tip of his ear. He happened to overhear their conversation and they talked about the fortune-telling stall.

Hong Tu turned around and asked hurriedly: "Senior, please enlighten me. If someone practices martial arts late and is not a child, can he really become a martial arts master?!"

However, he saw the inconspicuous man in green clothes using a ladder-like technique that resembled a light soaring technique. His feet were overlapping each other in the air, and in an instant, his figure was higher than the eaves of the alley and disappeared.

traces.

When Baoshu heard the movement behind her, she turned around and took a look. She only saw the green corner of her clothes. She was not surprised and asked, "Uncle, are you a master?"

The man didn’t feel that he had made a mistake and said with a smile: “The movement is not small, it is very high.”

Chen Ping'an sat on a roof, thought for a while, looked in the direction of Zheyao Mountain, and did not bother Ma Kuxuan's few disciples who were not yet mature.

Repaying kindness with kindness and repaying with hatred is a matter of course. It is not only a matter of one's own family, but also a matter of the whole world.

As for whether that woman, who has quite good bones and is suitable for practicing Taoism in the mountains, can become a true Taoist, it is hard to say.

This is not to boast, if Cen Yuanji had not met Zhu Lian and Jiang Qu had not entered Luopo Mountain, he would probably have disappeared from the public.

Forced to cheer up, Chen Ping'an chose a secluded alley and fell to the ground. It had been a long time since he felt like he wanted to take a long nap until he was full.

Gu Can and his party were walking through the streets in Yongjia County. Imperial Master Huang Lie didn't know anything about it. It was his maid Gu Lingfu who helped ask for directions before they found a quiet alley.

Outside the door of the small house, apart from Chen Ping'an who was squatting on the steps with his hands in sleeves, there were also a group of unfamiliar faces standing, apparently chatting away.

Chen Ping'an had an unconcealable look on his face, and he was clearly seriously injured. This familiar scene made Gu Can's face darken a bit.

Gu Can walked forward slowly, asking for the result with his eyes.

Chen Ping'an said in his heart: "It's okay, it's an acceptable price. The Night Sword is broken, and there is still a natal robe that needs to be refined and mended. Dozens of less important Qi Palaces have lost their foundation, and they need to be repaired."

Repair. But it is not without benefits. In the long run, it will definitely not be a loss. I just took this opportunity."

Ning Yao is right, Yu Pu pursues truth and is more pragmatic than immortals. Except for the last step, before reaching the bottleneck of the immortal realm, monks are more pragmatic.

What's more, Chen Ping'an's current path to Taoism, after passing the biggest hurdle of Yuanying's return to Yupu, couldn't be simpler. It's nothing more than sword refining. When it comes to sword refining, it's even simpler. It's just eating gold.

Fine copper coins and dragon-slaying stone.

Chen Ping'an has already made arrangements for gold and copper coins. He will discuss with the Song family in Dali and do business with the Luzhou Luomahe Liu family and Sanlang Temple in Beiju. If a small amount becomes a big sum, there are always ways to do it.

Let's go. According to Zheng Juzhong's estimate at the time, if Chen Ping'an "only needs" to eat another 1,500 gold coins, Jing Zhongyue can be promoted to the rank of Jingkou Yue. With the number of flying swords differentiated, there is hope.

Raising it to 800,000. If he were more optimistic, Chen Pingan could even think about the number of "millions".

So the real difficulty lies in the Dragon-Slaying Stone. Gold and copper coins are considered "priceless but have no market", but the Dragon-Slaying Stone is a typical priceless and marketless one. Anyone who gets it can just cover it up, hide it, and never

Sell ​​others, so at the top of Jiling Peak, even Yu Xuan personally helped to make the matchmaking, but he couldn't guarantee that he would be able to help find the seller. Chen Ping'an wanted to use this to refine the sword in a cage, sharpen the sword's edge, and improve his rank.

One can imagine how difficult it is.

Gu Can stared at him blankly.

Are you sure that Ma's family has been eradicated?

Chen Pingan changed the topic, "I took a temporary trip to the Great Sword Qi Wall and met your master. We chatted for a few words. Baidi City will be closed soon. He invited a female Sword Immortal named Zheng Dan.

Although the person who serves as Yan is a ghost fairy, her swordsmanship is very high and she has a great history. Her swordsmanship inheritance has been on par with Zhou Shenzhi's Qucheng lineage in recent times."

Gu Can nodded.

The sword cultivator who was able to be personally invited by Zheng Juzhong to serve as a master must have a strong Taoist practice.

Gu Can said from the bottom of her heart: "The injury is serious. After returning to Luopo Mountain, do you need to stay in seclusion for a period of time?"

Chen Ping'an said: "It doesn't prevent me from being the best man for Liu Xianyang."

Gu Can said: "If it doesn't work, let Liu Xianyang postpone the wedding banquet."

Chen Pingan looked straight at Gu Can.

Gu Can said helplessly: "Joking, teasing, making a joke, seriously."

I'm not worried about you damaging your Taoist conduct. If anything impedes your Taoist mind, I'll have a few light words to help you relieve your boredom.

Chen Ping'an slowly stood up and introduced them one by one, "I don't want you to work in vain. Let me introduce you. My pseudonym is Pu Liu, my real name is Xu Fu. I am in the Nascent Soul Realm. There is little chance of breaking through. Guan Piao, Ghost Cultivator, Jindan Realm,

It is not difficult to break through. Shen Ke, the bottleneck of the seventh realm of martial arts, can immediately reach the far travel realm. I have already negotiated with them. As long as you are willing to recruit them, they can go to your side. Just take care of the food, whether they will give you a salary or not.

, it depends on your mood."

These former "masters" who were brought out of Ma Mansion by Chen Ping'an were either old gods or great masters. They had each had a good meal before. The old woman suffered a fire torture, and the ghost spy got a solid meal.

Grandmaster Shen's situation was even worse. All in all, it was so miserable that it was unbearable to look back. Now their hearts tremble just thinking about it. If Chen Jianxian hadn't asked them to follow him, saying that he had an opportunity to give

, like the old woman, she had long thought about running away. Not to mention Yu Xuanguo, she also had the idea of ​​​​traveling to other continents. As for Guan Qiu, she also had thoughts of returning to her homeland, and Shen Ke even wanted to find the purity of a wilderness.

In this place, at least for a year and a half, the old warrior is a living person that he doesn’t want to see again.
