Sword comes

Chapter 956 Someone Beats the Drum

In the wild world, Jincui City.

A pavilion with sharp edges on all sides, with a plaque of "Moon Eyebrow".

The sky is leaking and the moon is thin, and the earth is biased by the wind.

A middle-aged scribe in a green shirt and long gown, wearing a jasper crown, lightly clenched his fists, holding two black and white chess pieces in his hands, creaking.

Following the tempting thought of this Jincui City guest Qing monk, there were visions in this pavilion, and the atmosphere was myriad, but there was no aura of heaven and earth flowing out of the pavilion.

First, a string of golden words floated up, how about the first sentence, the second sentence and the third sentence?

Soon, because of these dozen or so words, there was a thunderous sound in the gazebo. The green brick ground was like land, and the blue brick patterns were like hydrology, setting off great waves.

What a secret heart seal of the Zen lineage of Buddhism, do you want to know the style of my family, the blue sky is thunderbolt, and the land is surging.

On one of the green bricks that looked like a continent of mountains, rivers and land, the storm stopped suddenly. In the clear sky, it seemed that there were two monks as small as mustard seeds ascending the mountain. One master and one disciple joined hands to climb the mountain. The young monks looked solemn and solemn. , I asked the teacher to teach pedestrians the bird path, how is the bird path unreviewed?The old monk strode like a flying star, walking on the steep mountain path like walking on flat ground, he said four words with a smile, and he didn't meet anyone.On the way to the mountain, the two monks came across the list carved on the cliff next to the road, and they all had only one character, ancestor, yes, relative, general, and want.Seeing the characters one by one is like passing a test, without any pause, the young monk suddenly asked how is the original face?Unexpectedly, the old monk replied again, no bird path.The young monk was silent.The old monk suddenly shouted, how is it a Buddha?The young monk slowly replied, "Boy Bingding came to pray for fire."The old monk said again, good words, Bingding belongs to fire, and fire is used to find fire, but it's a pity that it's not the end, let's talk about it.The mountain at the feet of the two monks was actually refined from the hundreds of millions of texts in the Zheng and Xu Dao collections. Outside the cliff of this "Mount of Dao", there were flying birds suddenly piercing the sky and flapping their wings around the mountain. The green mountain began to rotate at the same time, and finally the rotating mountain and the birds seemed to be still, so it was called the disease of an arrowhead, and when it couldn't stop, the two monks who climbed up and didn't realize that the mountain was turning, seemed to see the flying birds outside the mountain like a stick hanging in the air. arrows.The young monk groaned silently, the old monk sighed, and the lumps were exposed under the eaves.The young monk suddenly had a tacit understanding, asking himself and answering, how is a Buddha?Boy Bingding came to pray for fire.The old monk nodded slightly, stomped heavily on the ground, and finally said with a smile, Mo Lu stole the stolen goods...

After finally figuring out something that year, this middle-aged scribe who had cultivated Taoism in Jincui City for many years, put more thought on the vast sea of ​​Buddhist scriptures and theories.

Outside the gazebo, the female city lord of Jincui City came slowly. After stopping, she watched for a while. Because the "sir" did not deliberately cover up the scene, she was able to see the strange people inside the gazebo. When the "sir" Turning her head and looking at herself, she was very well-mannered, and she gave a blessing, smiled sweetly, and asked softly: "Sir, what is this for?"

The lord of the city, Qing Jia, with the Taoist name "Yuanhu", is a female cultivator of the demon tribe in the fairyland. She actually owns a magic robe "Shui Lian" with a rank of immortal soldiers. It's just that in these years, Jincui City has not held various celebrations. If not, she will wear this extremely plain green robe "banana leaf" with light makeup on.

The Jincui City Qingke who was respectfully called "Sir" by Qing Jia stood up and said with a smile: "I have nothing to do, just think about it and chat to relieve boredom."

The surname was changed to Zheng, and he was a monk from a foreign land.

He has served as a guest minister in Jincui City for nearly a hundred years. He lives in seclusion and almost never shows his face in public. Even Qing Jia's direct disciples have never known that there is such a strange person in Jincui City.

Correction would occasionally go out for a long trip quietly, and never greeted Qing Jia, and she never asked.

Qing Jia said sincerely: "Sir, you don't have to be so concerned about the red tape. The rules of the world are the rules and regulations set for us ordinary people. With Mr.'s pedantic heaven and man, why bother?"

The middle-aged scribe said with a smile: "Do as the Romans do when you enter the country, etiquette cannot be abandoned."

Qing Jia praised from the bottom of her heart: "Sir, you are self-disciplined."

The middle-aged scribe shook his head and said, "It's not that a scholar who has read a few books can be called a gentleman."

As soon as the master said, it was actually earlier than the "scholar" in ancient times, and had a greater meaning, which was comparable to that of the "taoist".

Qing Jia remained obediently standing at the bottom of the gazebo steps, and tentatively asked: "Actually, I don't have anything to ask today, sir, can I go and take a seat in the gazebo?"

On the nun's shoulders were a thrush bird and a flower and tree spirit named Weaving Lady. In private, Qing Jia always respectfully referred to this guest minister whose alias was changed as "Mr." without adding a surname.

What's more, the real owner of Jincui City is no longer her.

It's just that the truth that makes Qing Jia feel "fun" the most, rather than fear, is that unless she sees the gentleman in the gazebo with her own eyes, all her memories of this person will be like being locked in a certain place. In this room, as the owner, she has no key, and the key is only in the hands of this gentleman.

So even she herself didn't know about it, so who in the whole wild world would know the truth?

Qing Jia finds it very interesting, like a little girl who is just in love, hiding a secret that she doesn't want to share with anyone.

Being able to play with the Dao Heart of a monk in the Immortal Realm seems to be completely under the applause. I am afraid that even a monk at the peak of the Ascension Realm would not dare to say that he can do it. It's unbelievable.The female fairy "Yuanhu" of Jincui City is not a soft-spoken person. With only one fairyland, there is no old patriarch to rely on. She is not good at fighting by nature, so she can protect hundreds of female cultivators and the entire golden city. From Cuicheng, one can know that Yuanhu Daoxin must be extremely tenacious.

The middle-aged scribe did not withdraw the vision of the gazebo, and said with a smile: "Of course, the guest does as he pleases."

Qing Jia bit her lips when she heard the words, her pair of extremely agile and long eyes were both resentful and charming.She climbed up the stairs, picked up the corner of her skirt, and entered the gazebo. Only then did she realize the vastness of the small gazebo. She carefully walked around some blue bricks on the ground that were haunted by Taoism, and finally sat opposite the gentleman.

A female fairy who is famous all over the world is sitting upright at this moment, as if facing a school teacher.

After Qing Jia sat down, she showed a somewhat self-ashamed expression, and said with a mockery: "Sir, I spent my time thinking about it casually, and the conclusion I came to may be something mysterious and mysterious that us dull people can't understand in our entire lives."

The middle-aged scribe shook his head and said, "Fellow Taoist Yuanhu praised you. The more knowledge a person has, the greater the unknown he will face. An ordinary master lies in what he knows, and a cultivator lies in knowing what he doesn't know."

Qing Jia was speechless.

A middle-aged scribe, sitting upright, with a warm smile, but in front of Qing Jia, the other party is... Gao Ruo Shen.

There is no way, the person in front of him is Zheng Juzhong of Baidicheng who dared to kill people casually in Tuoyue Mountain.

Qing Jia hesitated to speak.

As she herself said, she didn't intend to talk about any serious business at first, but when she entered the gazebo and sat face to face with Zheng Juzhong, as if she didn't say anything, she would feel a little...reckless.

As for the two monks in the gazebo "Xiaotiandi" who continued to climb and talk, Qing Jia saw it for nothing, and listened for nothing.

Qing Jia forcibly suppressed the thought in her mind, and changed the topic, which was also a question she had been curious about for a long time, "Dare to ask, sir, what do you think is really interesting?"

Zheng Juzhong smiled and said, "A lot."

For example, in a middle-rank blessed land, Zheng Juzhong once made a man who started from scratch, from a feeble scholar with no power to restrain a chicken, into a successful assistant to the emperor to rule the world in just 20 years. military adviser.At the same time, two new identities have been added, one of which is the Kusano reckless man with excellent martial arts talent, who rises up.The other one became a Qi trainer on the mountain, with average cultivation qualifications, and became a political strategist after going down the mountain.

Each of the three has a potential main line of thought, which leads the three to different paths, and is responsible for three things, creation, destruction, and repair.

Zheng Juzhong looked down at the mountain, and suddenly said: "Fellow Yuanhu Daoist, it's time to make a long-term plan for Jincui City."

Qing Jia felt relieved, and said in a deep voice, "Please enlighten me, sir."

Jin Cui City's situation in the wild world is similar to that of Jiuquan Sect.

The foundations of the two sects are the refining of robes and the brewing of immortal wine.

From the outside world's point of view, it is true that Jin Cuicheng was protected by Yang Zhi because he helped the old throne demon Yang Zhi and raised the black dragon robe to a higher rank. The big monster seldom invades Jincui City, but it is not the whole truth. Yangzhi does have a fondness for Qingjia, but he still wants to annex it as a cornucopia of wealth. The reason why it didn't work is Qingjia Sticking to his own point of view, even without hesitating to say a harsh word, Yang Zhi seems to have some unknown concerns, so he doesn't have the same knowledge as Qing Jia, anyway, the bitterness here is not enough for outsiders to understand.

Due to the high refining threshold of Jincui City's magic robe, it is difficult to mass-produce it on a large scale. In the last attack on Haoran Tianxia, ​​several sects including Jincui City and Xianzan City were used to destroy wealth and eliminate disasters, and a large amount of immortal money was given , and Jincui City also emptied the magic robes stored in the secret storehouse for thousands of years, and delivered them to Jiazizhang at a discounted price.

So on the side of the Great Wall of Sword Qi, no monks from the side of Jincui City showed up on the battlefield.And the city lord, Qing Jia, only showed up at the Tuoyue Mountain discussion later, and confronted the big monk Haoran who participated in the discussion of the Confucian Temple. It's also because of the "smelting water" robe on her body, which is divided into yin and yang, and has the aura of the sun and the moon changing, and the stars moving.

Zheng Juzhong glanced at the fairy woman, nodded and said: "The suggestion of Taoist Taoist is in the right direction."

Looking at the human heart and reviewing memory is like flipping through a book.

Qing Jia didn't feel any discomfort, but asked: "In your opinion?"

Jincui City has been able to stand upright for thousands of years because it has two so-called backing mountains, which are Yangzhi in the light and wild peach pavilion in the dark.

It's a pity that the great monster of the old throne stopped and failed to return to the wilderness. He was stopped by Liu Qi and imprisoned by the Confucian Temple. Taoting had been a watchdog in the Hundred Thousand Mountains for many years, and now he is on the side of Haoran Tianxia. He became the tender Taoist who became famous in Yuanyangzhu.

Therefore, one of the direct disciples of the Patriarch Tuoyueshan, who is also a female cultivator, had previously asked Jin Cuicheng to hand over all the secret methods and Taoist formulas for refining the robes.

There is little room for bargaining in Jincui City.In exchange, Tuoyue Mountain allowed Jincui City to choose two places at will to build two lower sects.

But to Qing Jia, what is the significance of such flashy benefits?It's just pointless.

Even if Jincui City established the next sect, it couldn't keep it. The direct successors in Jincui City are all female cultivators. Apart from refining the robes, they don't know how to fight with others at all.

That's why Taoting secretly sent an extremely secret letter before.

The general meaning is nothing more than to imply Qingjia, the tree moves the dead and the living.

It's better to move Jincui City to Haoran Tianxia, ​​where we can live and eat, so that both parties can take care of each other.Taoting patted his chest in the letter and promised that when he got there, he dared not say that he would make Jincui City better, but only said that he would maintain the current family business, and it would be no problem to discuss with the Confucian Temple for a Zong prefix status.

To Tao Ting, Jin Cui Cheng Qing Jia is just a little girl, who belongs to half of her younger generation.

Because if Jincui City goes back upwards, there are two Dao lines, one is similar to the authentic legal system, and the other belongs to the secret tradition of the sect, and Taoting and a certain preacher with a hidden identity in Qingjia really have a story. To say it was a concubine would be a bit ugly.

And the preacher of Qingjia, who was not included in the genealogy of Jincui City, once left a will for Jincui City, saying that in the bright moon, there was an ancient existence who could call the Supreme Master according to the seniority of Qingjia, but When will I see this patriarch, the specific time, maybe, just wait patiently.

Qing Jia originally thought that Jincui City could have an extra towering backing, but in the end, a bright moon in the sky was directly moved to Qingming Tianxia by those sword cultivators who linger on the Great Wall of Sword Qi, which made Qingjia dumbfounded. How can she recognize her ancestors?It's just disappointing, but also somewhat relaxed. After all, in Jincui City, there is already a Mr. Zheng who is willing to entrust his life and death, which is enough. I really want to let that old patriarch return to the world, and then come to Jincui City , it might be a disaster instead.

The Great Li Dynasty, on the battlefield of Aquarius Continent, once plundered all the magic robes from Jincui City. Unfortunately, they failed to capture several Jincuicheng monks who were proficient in refining skills.

300 years ago, the city lord Yuanhu became a celebration of immortals.

Except for Yang Zhi who attended the ceremony in person.Taoting also sneaked out of Shiwan Dashan.

There is a clear record of this in the secret files of the Summer Palace.

It is obvious that Haoran Tianxia and Savage Tianxia are already in a tight situation, and a war may break out at any time. If it is not for Mr. Zheng, Jincui City has no choice at all. Break through and become a prisoner.

Qing Jia noticed that this gentleman seemed to be a little absent-minded, and she didn't dare to disturb the other's wandering, and waited patiently for the next step.

Zheng Juzhong quickly came back to his senses, and just said a few words to her, "It is nothing more than replacing the new makeup of Tuoyue Mountain with the Zhongtu Confucian Temple. Similar to Aiai Island, choose a site as the next sect."

Qing Jia obviously had no objection to this, and she didn't show any surprise. The number of wild sects that are suitable for Haoran's water and soil is rare, and Jincui City happens to be among them. She asked cautiously: "How can I relocate all the belongings in Jincui City? Pick a monk?"

Zheng Juzhong said: "Just follow me."

Probably because he was worried that the other party would not understand, Zheng Juzhong explained with a smile: "The entire Jincui City has been refined by me into my natal object. It really took me a lot of time."

The reason why Zheng Juzhong was distracted just now was because he was thinking about a matter that was far removed from the discussion with both parties.

And this matter, Zheng Juzhong only talked with Cui Chan.

The views of both sides are similar. Under the leadership of cultivators, living beings with spirits, paving roads and building bridges to go to the outer space is a way out that is visible to the naked eye. Those extraterrestrial stars should be used as bridges or "Zongmen enclaves". As long as the chessboard is big enough, you can get rid of the battle of victory and defeat, and reduce the internal consumption of the entire established world. It may be led by the human race, and sincerely cooperate with monks of various races, and choose a livable place in those outer stars to multiply...

But it is far from enough to have this road to the sky that is difficult to say whether it is a new "going way" or an old "coming way" for the time being. Just in case, an unprecedented path must be used to "go inward". Allowing all beings in the world to have another way of life is a retreat that must be planned in advance.

The embroidered tiger, Cui Chan, lacked his knowledge, and finally created the porcelain man, just to prove this "just in case" horrible accident with Zheng Juzhong, and also with the founder of the Three Religions.

The ready-made example is right in front of you, you three, it's not easy to ignore it.

Zheng Juzhong is certain that if the human race can neither find a way out nor a way out that can protect itself, then sooner or later, it will be destroyed by itself.

Just like the gods who used to be aloof, they were destroyed by the beings on the earth created by their own hands.

Every self we dare not admit.

It is a trapped beast wandering in a cage, and it is a god sitting high in a hall.

The vast majority of the so-called Taoists do not know the so-called establishment of a religion and calling their ancestors.

The eyes are no longer high, and the hands are naturally lower, and they are destined to be unable to reach "that curtain".

Inside the gazebo, one was thinking about the life and death of Jincui City.

One is contemplating the life and death of the entire animate being.

Presumably this is the difference.

No wonder Xuandu Guansun Taoist would say with a smile that the gap between people is greater than the gap between humans and pigs.

Zheng Juzhong waved his sleeves, put away the vision in the gazebo, bent his fingers, and tapped on the pillars of the pavilion lightly.

The key to human woodwork is mortise and tenon.

At home portal.Study abroad.Practice in the mountains.

What is it that connects hearts to each other?

Zheng Juzhong stood up, smiled and said: "We are all a lamp, flickering between heaven and earth."

Words and deeds are mutually mortise and tenon, and people's hearts make lights together.

Build a house and hold a group for warmth.

After that, Zheng Juzhong walked out of Yuemei Pavilion first, and took Qing Jia for a walk in Jincui City. During the heavy snow season, the palaces and pavilions of Jincui City are extremely magnificent, as beautiful as the realm of glazed glass.

Qing Jia, who was following Zheng Juzhong, couldn't use Taoism, so she hid her body together. It looked like a palace hall, where a girl with a snake bun was standing on tiptoe, stretching her waist, holding a The long pole hits the ice, there is a sound of broken jade falling to the ground, and the laughter of the girls is as mellow as Yingge Yanyu.

Walking out of the palace, Zheng Juzhong took Qing Jia to a moat outside Jincui City. The river was wide and frozen under the bridge, and many children were running and playing on it.

Zheng Juzhong walked upstream along the river, and came to a riverside embankment. The feet were piled up with long and thin stones, densely clustered all over the ground. Glutinous rice slurry was poured between the stone crevices, and then tamped hard with iron curium and tenon. It's like layers of fish scales, and it's like the skinny bones of an old man.

Zheng Juzhong has been curious all these years, how Qi Jingchun did it in the Lizhu Cave, and what Qi Jingchun saw.

What really makes Zheng Juzhong feel interesting is that someone has done something that no matter how much he puts his heart into it, he still can't do it.There are big and small things in themselves, but in Zheng Ju's center, there is not necessarily a difference between superior and inferior.If a snowflake money on the mountain can only be converted into 100 taels of silver at the foot of the mountain, what will happen to the world?Another example is that suddenly all the three kinds of fairy money in the world disappeared without a trace, how will the situation develop?

It is said that when Cui Chan was young, there was an elder in the family who forbade him to read novels about Jiang Hu Romance and novels about gifted scholars and beautiful ladies.

And Cui Chan is not allowed to play chess, because he thinks that smart people are easily obsessed with this way, wasting his good time in vain, delaying his studies, and not doing his job properly.

Qing Jia turned her head to look at Mr. Zheng, and after a while, she laughed to herself, and bravely asked, "Sir, what do you think about the relationship between men and women? Excuse me, did you ever have a woman you liked?"

Zheng Juzhong shook his head with a smile.

Qing Jia has never had a Taoist partner in her life, and she doesn't feel the need to find a Taoist partner, but she has a very doting direct disciple who follows her boudoir best friend, a descendant of a family from the Great Demon Official Lane, they Then call a group of female cultivators who are familiar with each other, and ride in a chariot with a lot of backgrounds. The group of Yingying Yanyan, each with their own backgrounds, traveled northward to the Great Wall of Sword Qi. It is said that they failed to reach the top of the city, but Far away, I saw the young hermit official in the bright red robe, and the chariot was hit by a thunderbolt, so the trip was not in vain.

Successfully met the famous young hermit official.

Let them jump for joy, exactly the same perception.

Just two words, so handsome!

After returning to his hometown, Qingjia's direct heir became desperate, infatuated, as if in a daze.

Zheng Juzhong said indifferently: "People who love and desire are like walking against the wind with a torch, and they will definitely suffer from burning hands."

Qing Jia didn't dare to ask any more questions.

Zheng Juzhong walked slowly, at the Yingji Ferry earlier, his other self, and Wu Shuangjiang, Sui Chu Gong, did meet each other.

The Baidi City is in the world of grandeur, and the palace is eliminated in the world of Qingming.

Both are recognized as the two places with the strongest control over the sect, and all monks respect their respective suzerains like gods.

At that time, Zheng Juzhong said straight to the point: "Master Wu shouldn't have come so early."

Wu Shuangjiang smiled and said, "I don't care about breaking the steamer."

But since Wu Shuangjiang still came, it meant that Xiuhu had started to close the net to some extent.Zheng Juzhong will make one shot according to the prior agreement.

Wu Shuangjiang was looking at the sky over the Great Wall of Sword Qi, a round of bright moon was being dragged to Qingming Tianxia, ​​and asked casually, "It seems that we can't fight?"

Zheng Juzhong said: "Because Chen Ping'an is still not cruel enough."

In the end, Chen Ping's choice was not too surprising.

Bai Yujing's third teacher, Lu Chen, almost died at the hands of a dead man.

----

In the world of Qingming, in the center of heaven and earth, there is a single mountain, Runyue Peak.

Parting from Lin Jiangxian on the mountain road, only Qi Gu was left behind by Bixiao Cave Master. He took his direct disciple Wang Yuanlu who had just come here to worship on the top of the mountain, and the little boy named Jinjing who burned fire and left Runyue Peak together. A simple dojo in the bright moonlight.

As an acceptance ceremony, the old Taoist took out a palm-sized pocket model of the palace and threw it to Wang Yuanlu. Practice alchemy inside."

As for the ceremony of apprenticeship, Wang Yuanlu certainly wished that there would be no such red tape on the mountain.

Wang Yuanlu took over the "Xiangong Ruins" of unknown origin with both hands. It is extremely rare and beyond doubt.

Xiaodaotong obeys the master's decree and dare not complain, everyone has his own destiny, since he can't envy him, why bother to envy... Damn it, it's really greedy to look at it.

The old Taoist ignored the two guys who had their own thoughts, and walked into the house on his own, but let Jinjing continue to stare at the heat of the stove for the elixir, and let him teach Wang Yuanlu an alchemy formula by the way. How much you learn depends on your ability.

Wang Yuanlu put the heavy treasure in his sleeve and put it in his pocket for safety, then he asked: "Senior Brother Jinjing, can you tell me about the origin of this thing?"

For the sake of the "senior brother", Xiao Daotong rolled his eyes and said, "Have you heard a word?"

In the end, after waiting for a long time, Wang Yuanlu was completely stunned without waiting for the next sentence.

Only then did Xiao Daotong swagger across the threshold, sit on the bench beside the alchemy stove, and said with a smile: "There is an old saying, the dragon dives into the puddle, and the fire helps the Sun Palace. Do you understand?"

Wang Yuanlu squatted aside, shook his head and said, "Never heard of it."

Xiao Daotong sneered and said, "A frog at the bottom of a well!"

Wang Yuanlu smiled and didn't refute, it's hard to say who is the frog in the well.

Xiao Daotong continued: "It is said that it is one of the five highest in ancient times..."

Having said this, Xiao Daotong quickly stopped talking, and pointed to the ceiling, "The Lupu Puddle is the summer palace of the ancient water god, so it can only be regarded as one of them. But whose territory is this Sun Palace, you have to decide who owns it." Guess what, anyway, it is higher rank than that Lu puddle. According to legend, it used to be one of the places where swords were made. The monks outside, knowing what it is, will only spread false rumors, saying that it was broken, but in fact it is in My master is putting it here, it is considered a very good treasure, it can be ranked among my master's... top five possessions, if you get it, just have fun."

Wang Yuanlu said with emotion: "Brother Jinjing really knows a lot."

Xiao Daotong stared at the flame of the alchemy furnace, his immature face was shining brightly under the light of the fire, curled his lips, and said, "There's a fart for it."

Wang Yuanlu wrapped his arms around his sleeves and said softly, "It's much better than being useless."

Xiao Daotong was furious when he heard the words, and mistakenly thought that the other party was saying strange things to ridicule him, but when he turned his head away, he saw a sincere and sad face.

In the world of Qingming, Ganzhou, the Palace of Sui Chu.

In the viewing pavilion of a palace built at the highest point in the mountains, four people met for a drink.

They are currently circulating a pamphlet written by the palace lord, which records in detail the customs and customs of the colorful world in small letters.

Here, you can not only see the Guanque Tower, but also the mainstay in the middle of the river outside the Guanque Tower, which is actually a Xielong stone.

The few of them are all the "old people" of the Guanque Inn. In the past, an unknown Guanque Inn was opened for two or three hundred years in the inverted mountain on the other side of Haoran Tianxia.In the small inn, there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers, one soars two immortals, plus two jades.Apart from the young shopkeeper, the four inn cooks and handymen all had their aliases surnamed Nian, and all of them traveled far away in the vast world and upside down mountains in the form of yin gods.Among them, the "girl" with the pseudonym Nian Chuanghua is also the prostitute daughter of the palace lord Wu Shuangjiang, and her Taoist name is "Dengzhu".

And that young shopkeeper was Bai Luo who was nicknamed Xiao Bai by Wu Shuangjiang.The second-in-command who really handles common affairs with full authority in Sui Chu Gong.

At this moment, except for Bai Luo, the watchman, the other four are all here.

The immortal Zhang Yuanbo, whose Tao name is Dongzhonglong, is a white-haired old man with a bad wine nose. He gently tossed the finished booklet to the flirting Taoist couple at the next table.

Apart from practicing, he has nothing to do in his free time. If he gives this old man a jug of wine and a plate of appetizers, he can drink for a whole day.

It's like taking a sip of wine from each bowl and spitting it back into the bowl.

The wine table has three tricks, bared a mouthful, squinted his eyes intoxicated, and shivered.

In the past, Zhang Yuanbo's ashram was on the Xielong Stone. Later, a sword repairer Cheng Quan came, and Zhang Yuanbo took the initiative to move the site, and he didn't need to discuss matters in the Patriarch Hall. Go out and still not be laughed out of by outsiders.

Jun Yuyu on the mountain reached out to catch the booklet, with a serious look on his face, turning the pages like flying, the pages rattled, although he read quickly, he didn't dare to miss a single word.

After all, it was written by the palace lord.

At the beginning, there were three thousand Taoist officials in the Qingming World, and they entered the Colorful World.In name, Bai Yujing only has a thousand people, which is more than 400 people short of half.

But in fact, there are not a few of Bai Yujing's Tianjun Xianguan who are spreading their branches and leaves outside. They are inextricably linked.

This man's Taoist companion on the mountain is named Xie Chuntiao. The woman has a strong body and looks... She is really not a fairy. She likes to drink strong alcohol and talk dirty.

Xie Chuntiao put a green bamboo hairpin on his head and drank silently.

As for the Taoist companion around him, he likes to be messy, and he is simply a pervert reincarnated.

For those who practice Taoism, that kind of bed fight has a meaning of fart, but since it is a Taoist couple, let him toss about it.

The man handed the booklet to the Taoist companion beside him, and he did not forget to squeeze the woman's white wrist lightly, but Xie Chuntiao took the booklet with one hand and threw it on the other's head with the other hand, beating the man almost to the ground Go round and round.

Zhang Yuanbo frowned and said, "How could there be a list of top ten people in the world at this juncture, seven or eight years earlier than expected?"

Yu Chou laughed and said, "You can do whatever you want. Anyway, I'm not on the list, so it's none of my business."

While reading the book, Xie Chuntiao said, "The key is that the Immortal Stick Sect declared that this list was not written by them at all, which is very mysterious."

The "girl" under the alias of Nian Chuanghua, as Wu Shuangsheng's legitimate daughter, her real name is Wu Taboo.It's just that the name seems to be a bit of a disadvantage.

Because the homonyms are not particularly beautiful, filthy, misunderstood, no regrets...

Back then, when the yin and gods came out of their bodies to travel together, they traveled across two worlds, and they were not complete souls.

Of course, it was protected by some kind of secret method used by the palace lord Wu Shuangjiang, otherwise, with their realm, the Yin God would not be able to stay on the side of the inverted mountain for so long, and each of them could continue to practice.

A small and exquisite rattle drum hangs from the waist of the young female cultivator. The drum surface is painted with intricate painting techniques and is sewn with dragon skin. There is a glass orb hanging from the peach wood handle with a red thread.

With the young girl's cultivation base, it is another item refined by her as her natal item, which can't be completely concealed. It can be seen from this that this small drum is not only a treasure of the rank of immortal soldiers, but also a treasure among immortal soldiers. , are destined to be excellent.Every year on New Year's Eve at the Sui Chu Palace, there is the old custom of lighting candles and lighting waste, and beating drums to drive away the ghosts of epidemic diseases. The abbot is responsible for these two things, Wu Taboo.

When Wu Taboo was at the Guanque Inn, his pseudonym was Nian Chuanghua.

It is because when she was young, she once watched the old age with her father.

Wu Shuangjiang likes to read miscellaneous books, especially those literati's notes of anecdotes. Wu Taboo once heard his father say a sentence in a book.

The person inside the window wrote decals on the window paper, and I made it outside the window, which is very good.

Maybe it was something I saw in a book, or maybe it was out of feeling, who knows.

Wu Taboo said, "I'll ask my father later?"

Yu Chou quickly shook his head, "Wu Taboo, restraint, restraint, don't make us suffer training at the Palace Master's side."

In the past 300 years, there have been ten people in Qingming Tianxia, ​​with very little change, almost all of them are old people.

Bai Yujing occupied the top three seats, and there was no objection. The chief teacher was Kou Ming, the second teacher was Yu Dou, and the third teacher was Lu Chen.

The fourth is Gao Gu, the head of Huayang Palace on Feishan Mountain, Gao Gu with the Taoist name "Juyue".

Fifth, Xuandu Guansun Huaizhong.Sixth, Yashan Lin Jiangxian is the only pure martial artist on the list.

The next few were all old faces with thunderous names and dao names.

The others, like Wu Shuangjiang from the Sui Palace, the patriarch of the two Jingshan women, and Chao Ge with the Taoist name "Overlooking", because they have retreated for too long, have been evaluated, and have all withdrawn from the list of the top ten people in the world.

As for Wuzhou, the years of retreat are even longer, and this loose nun crown with the Tao name "Taiyin" was almost completely forgotten by Qingming Tianxia.

Regarding the ten people in the world in the past, except for four people, the various rankings are still a matter of endless debate among the spectators. These four people are of course the three head teachers of Bai Yujing, plus one Daoist Sun of Xuandu Temple.

But this time, unknown who made the list, the latest top ten people in the world.

It's full of mysteries, even a kind of undercurrent... Murderous intent!

The person at the top of the list is Bai Yujing, the second head teacher Yu Dou.

Second, Bai Yujing's third head teacher, Lu Chen, the lord of Nanhua City.

Thirdly, the Master of Bixiao Cave whose dojo is temporarily located in the bright moon.

Fourth, her ancestral home is in Yongzhou, she is a loose cultivator, a trainer, and a female crown in Wuzhou.

Fifth, Qizhou, the master of Xuandu Temple, Sun Huaizhong.

Sixth, Ruzhou, Chijin Dynasty, Yashan Linjiangxian.Martial arts No.1 in the world.

Seventh, the New Year's Eve Palace Wu Shuangjiang.

Eighth, Youzhou, Huayang Palace, Difei Mountain, Gaogu.The world's number one alchemy master.

Ninth, Bingzhou, Qingshen Dynasty, elegant minister Yao Qing.

The tenth is that the two are tied.The female crown and grandson of the Taoist name "Kongshan" in Xuandu.Runyue Peak is a pure martial artist, working hard.

There are ten alternates.But compared to the top ten, the spectators were already not very interested.

First of all, in this list of ten people, there is no such thing as the head teacher Kou Ming of Bai Yujing!

This is enough shocking news, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a bolt from the blue.

Secondly, Wuzhou reappeared in the world, which is equivalent to confirming her fourteenth realm. It is not surprising that she squeezed out Gao Gu's position, but why Gao Gu didn't follow closely behind. The fifth person has really become an iron rule in the Qingming world?Or...Sun Guanzhu has actually entered the fourteenth realm?Xuandu Guan is from the lineage of Taoist Sword Immortals, but Sun Huaizhong is... a pure sword cultivator in the fourteenth realm? !

In addition, besides Sun Daochang, Xuanduguan has an extra senior sister, Wang Sun, and Xuanduguan's grievances with Bai Yujing, who has no idea?Is it possible?

Just as Xie Chuntiao was about to return the booklet to Wu Yao, the latter shook his head and said, "You guys keep it."

Zhang Yuanbo remembered something, pinched his chin, and said doubtfully: "Back then, Mrs. Gui temporarily repented and didn't come to Qingming Tianxia with us, did she already notice that something is wrong here?"

Yu Chou thought of the graceful Mrs. Gui, who had a completely different charm from her own mother-in-law. The man couldn't help laughing, but he immediately elbowed Xie Chuntiao, causing cold sweat to break out on the man's forehead. .

Xie Chuntiao sighed for no reason: "I still can't believe that that young man can become a hermit official and can also engrave letters on the wall."

The clear eyes of the young man with the sword in his back were really memorable.

The former young man with a sword, and later the last hermit official, is a regular customer of the inn.

I visited Daoxuan Mountain twice and stayed at the Stork Inn at the end of the alley, and I enjoyed it very much.

Zhang Yuanbo nodded with a smile, and glanced at Wu Yu, "I think Dong Huafu looks good too."

Wu Taboo pretended not to hear the implication.

Back then when Daoxuan Mountain returned to the Underworld, Dong Huafu and Yan Zhuo followed Cheng Quan to the Sui Chu Palace and visited the scene of the Sui Chu Palace together.During the period, they met that "girl film" who was famous in Taoism, and she was successful in cultivating Taoism. She looked young, and she talked to the two of them in a strange way.

It's a pity that I met the grandfather.

Wu Tab really couldn't scold that Dong Heitan.

The biggest fear of quarreling is not being able to understand what the other party is talking about.

Fortunately, neither side did anything, just made an appointment for a fight.

She disliked that the two foreigners were not of high level, and they were guests of the Sui Chu Palace, so she didn't have the same knowledge as them.

But so far Wu Taboo is still unclear, it was Dong Huafu's appointment to help Chen Ping'an, and it has nothing to do with Dong Huafu.

On Xielongshi, Wu Shuangjiang came here in person.

Wu Shuangjiang chatted with the young-faced Nalan Shaowei about his practice, and in the end there was only Cheng Quan, who walked along the riverside with the palace lord.

As the leader of the sixteen traveling sword cultivators on the Great Wall of Sword Qi, Cheng Quan, the old Yuanying, was carrying a sword case wrapped in cotton cloth and containing a natal lamp that Nalan burned reeds on.

Cheng Quan joined the Patriarch Tang Shanshui Genealogy of the Sui Chu Palace, but he did not confer any talisman, and never obtained an official Taoist ultimatum.This means that the old sword repair is not yet a Taoist official.

The Xielong stone under the feet of both sides should have migrated with the water, and it would not take root somewhere for a long time.However, Wu Shuangjiang personally imposed several restrictions and forcibly detained him here.

In fact, apart from the value of the Xielong Stone itself, Wu Shuangjiang's move is not worthwhile, and it is a loss-making business. If it is placed in other sects or Taoist temples, a circular river may be dug, allowing a Xielong Stone to drift with the current, The continuous increase in water transportation is a long-standing benefit.It's just that there is a profound background in the palace of the New Year's Eve, and Wu Shuangjiang's violent acts of recklessness are too many, not bad for this one.

In history, there are four Xielong stones in total, one was completely shattered in the battle of water and fire, one was later refined into a natal object by an ancient immortal, and the other was once regarded by Mrs. Dandan of Lushuikeng. The boulder in the sea that is forbidden.Finally, there is the ashram of Sui Chu Gong.

Rumors, just rumors.

The Taoist companion of the former palace lord Wu Shuangjiang, she has mediocre cultivation aptitude and likes to collect rare treasures from all over the world, so Wu Shuangjiang took her to travel around the world, and all her favorite things would be brought back to the Suiqi Palace by Wu Shuangjiang.

After learning about the series of deeds, Cheng Quan tentatively asked: "Master Wu, do you have any landscape scrolls, can I see one or two?"

Wu Shuangjiang stopped, and mist rose from the river outside Xielongshi. The river water was like a mirror. In the picture scroll of water patterns, I saw a crazy female cultivator laughing wildly, holding up a She patted her head on the rotten arm that was falling like ashes.

Frustrated and insane, she threatened the young hermit official that she would kill her, as if she had made an extra contribution in battle, but she actually asked the young hermit official to get rid of the culprit and destroy Tuoyue Mountain...

Then there was a golden thunderbolt, which pulverized the body of the female cultivator in the fairyland.

Since the beginning and the end of this picture scroll have been chopped off, Cheng Quan looks at a loss, what's going on.

As for the fairyland monster, of course Cheng Quan recognized him, the female nun named Fan Lu was also the head of a sect in the wild world.

It seems that she can only rely on a life-sustaining lamp, break part of her soul, and then use the corpse to revive her soul, but this is the lowest form of autopsy. After all, monster monks are far more powerful than human Qi trainers. Pay attention to the "real body".Many techniques, the foundation of the Dao, are all related to the real body.Therefore, the monster monks fell far more than the human monks.

What's more, even if you can start all over again, it will be difficult to follow the old path of previous life practice. Since you can't follow the old path familiarly, how can you practice smoothly in the future?

Therefore, for any sect with the initial title of the sect in the wild world, every time the Zushitang enshrines a life-extending lamp, it is almost a business destined to lose money.

Even if it is the suzerain, even if he can rely on the life extension lamp, the next step is often a change of dynasty without any suspense.

Although Cheng Quan couldn't figure out the joints, Lao Jianxiu smiled all the time.

Being beheaded at Tuoyue Mountain is like being hacked to death by Taoist officials in Baiyujing, or Confucian monks being beaten to death by outsiders in the Confucian Temple of China.

Rejoice and rejoice.

As expected, our lord Yinguan is as sympathetic as ever!

Wu Shuangjiang smiled and said: "It's really aggrieved. If Fanlu is upright and fights with young hermits, she won't die so uselessly. It's just that the battle of Tuoyue Mountain is too treacherous, just like the founder of Tuoyue Mountain. , the culprit, joined hands with Chen Pingan, and got rid of their group of monks who stayed in Tuoyue Mountain as guests."

Cheng Quan was shocked and said, "This call?! It's not just the old witch Fan Lu?"

Wu Shuangjiang nodded and said, "More."

Old Jianxiu laughed loudly, "It's not in vain that I quarreled with Mr. Yin Guan and didn't fight back."

Wu Shuangjiang laughed it off.

Old Jianxiu was filled with emotion.

This lord hidden official never disappoints.

Wu Shuangjiang suddenly asked with a smile, "Cheng Quan, who do you hate the most in this life?"

Cheng Quan was silent.

Of course I would hate a lot, just talking about those monster beasts, can you count them?

But the person Cheng Quan hates the most is actually himself.

I hate the lack of swordsmanship in this life.I hate myself for being cowardly, even Dong Sangeng and Qi Tingji dare to scold, as for the old deaf children, they are not worthy of Cheng Quan's waste of saliva, but such a number one swordsman, in this life, he dare not even say the word "like" .

Some things don't wait for anyone.

Some people don't wait for others.

Cheng Quan looked sad.

Wu Shuangjiang said: "Huiting, the sword cultivator of Hongye Jianzong, you must remember?"

Cheng Quan's eyes instantly became sharp.

Cheng Quan and his close friend Zhao Gexuan once had a private agreement that the next time Hui Ting appeared at the Great Wall of Sword Qi, if Hui Ting could not be torn apart, the two parties would be dumb in the future.It's a pity that Hui Ting broke the natal flying sword "Fan" on the battlefield a hundred years ago. After the fall, he recuperated in the sect and did not participate in the final battle.

Wu Shuangjiang said: "There is still a picture scroll, let's see for yourself."

It turned out that it was to kill Huiting, the Yuanying Realm sword repairman of Hongye Jianzong.

Chen Ping let go of a monk from the fairyland monster tribe.Of course, after the battle of Tuoyue Mountain, the latter was seriously injured.

Hui Ting chose to exchange his life for his life, in exchange for a way of life for a monster fairy who had never been to the Great Wall of Sword Qi.

On that battlefield, first the sword light fell straight down, chopping off Hui Ting's head, splitting everything into two on the spot.Then a unparalleled sword light swept across, cutting it in half.

Then use a suspended thunder game to slowly refine the monk's soul with the five thunders.

The most frightening thing is that in the dazzling lightning bureau with infinite dao rhymes, there appeared two golden characters that were forcibly stripped out, which were the real names of Hui Ting's monster clan.

A massacre that could send chills down the spine of bystanders and make their hair stand on end.

There are many battles on the Great Wall of Sword Qi. On the battlefield, there are horrific scenes and endless vicious methods.

Let's just talk about Mi Yu, Nalan Caihuan, Qi Shou, these sword repairmen, in the eyes of the wild monsters, are they good troubles?

And the reason why this picture scroll is easy to make people feel uncomfortable is because the person who shot it was Chen Ping'an.

But Cheng Quan is definitely an exception.

Absolutely nothing feels wrong.

Wu Shuangjiang put away the secret method, and the scroll disappeared with the water.

Such as that life is impermanent, footprints come and go.

Wu Shuang descended to the Guanque Tower.

Old Jianxiu thanked Palace Master Wu, and then walked alone by the river, with a relaxed expression and a casual smile, which was done by Lord Yinguan.

In the past, above the wall, in the intervals of fighting side by side, the young hermit official could not be scolded.

As soon as the old man turned around, he seemed to have no time to hold back his smile, when suddenly he was already in tears.

careless.

Inside the Stork Tower.

Wu Shuangjiang gradually ascended to the top floor, the door opened by itself, and he walked into a room.

In the history of Qingming Tianxia, ​​Sui Chu Gong was always considered a second-rate sect, until there was a Wu Shuangjiang who raised Sui Chu Gong to the top sect in the world entirely by himself.

Apart from the fact that Wu Shuangjiang's own attainments in Taoism are extremely high, it can be said that he regards the bottlenecks of various realms as nothing, but what really makes Wu Shuangjiang feared by monks all over the world is his unique ability in preaching and teaching.

Therefore, in the Sui Chu palace, Wu Shuangjiang was famous for his one-sidedness.

In the house, apart from Bai Luo, the year-keeper, there is also Gao Ping, a Taoist official who is in charge of books and literature.

In addition, there are still three people.A Taoist official who is about the same age as Gao Ping just looks at him. His face is very heroic when he is weak.

There is also an old man who has the nickname of "Big Talking Talent" in private, whose alias is Chang You, and he does not show any sign of flinching when he sees the Mistress of the Palace of Years and Extinctions who has crossed the threshold.

The last one is a ghost with an incomplete soul, surnamed Yang, but he has long since left his master and family, and has been in retreat for many years in Sui Chu Palace. This is the first time he has left the dojo.

Wu Shuangjiang sat cross-legged first, and said with a smile, "You're welcome."

Outside the Guanque Tower, the clouds and water are long, and I share the sorrow with you.

Inside the Stork Tower, there are military heroes, who can sit together.

Some people seem to exist only in books.

Then some people seem to have stepped out of the book.

And this book is called Wu Temple.

----

Haoran Tianxia, ​​Tongyezhou, Zhenyaolou.

The vision of heaven and earth, where mountains, rivers and gods worship incense together outside the building, gradually dissipated.

Among them, one stick of water incense and one stick of mountain incense came from the old gentleman of Shujian Lake, who served as the stalker of imitation Baiyujing, and Lu Yan, a Taoist of Chunyang.

"Since I have made a decision about the merits and virtues that those senior brothers left you, I still have to remind you."

The most holy teacher smiled and joked: "When the merits and virtues are exhausted, there is no reward for selfishness. Don't take chances."

Chen Pingan nodded.

Apart from anything else, Chen Pingan sacrificed the "Little Fengdu" that did not belong to his natal flying sword, "Thank you for the help of the most holy master to open the restriction."

The most holy teacher was not surprised either. It was not surprising that a young man who couldn't even smash his Taoist heart had a bright mind.

It's just that he was not in a hurry to make a move, and the most holy teacher asked with a smile for no reason: "A person who cultivates the Tao has not yet had a Taoist name, isn't it ridiculous?"

When Chen Ping seldom smiles awkwardly, he can't be on the side of the most holy master, saying that he is very good at naming, just because there are so many candidates for Dao names, but because there are so many that he doesn't know how to choose?

The most holy teacher asked again: "I will go to Qingming Tianxia in the future, have you decided on an alias?"

Chen Ping was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "I haven't thought about it yet."

In terms of aliases, there are quite a few, such as Chen Haoren from Beiju Luzhou, Cao Mo from Tongyezhou, and Dou Yi from Colorful World.As for Qingming Tianxia, ​​yes!

But the most holy teacher smiled and said: "It's good for you to know, don't tell me, so as not to reveal the secret."

Then the most holy teacher stretched out his hand, twisted the flying sword with both fingers, there was no need for Qingtong to open the ban on the Zhenyao building, he just threw the flying sword lightly outside the Zhenyao building, and it turned into a slender Liuying, thousands of miles away in an instant, disappeared in the night.

Suddenly, like countless stars gradually falling into the wilderness of the world, the lights are brilliant, and on the earth, they light up one after another, and gradually become denser, as if there are hundreds of thousands of billions of them, shining and coming and going, incalculable.In the dilapidated city, in the wilderness, if there are dots of fluorescent light, it seems that there is a lone traveler with a lamp, and there are those who seem to be accompanied by two lamps, all of which are lonely souls who have no place to die and can only linger in the wilderness. Ghost, there is that densely lit place, the broken mountains and rivers of Tongyezhou, where no one collects the abandoned accounts, and returns to the horse to recognize the remnants of the flag, large and small battlefield ruins, in that endless dilapidated city, is the complex. After the country, it is still too late to do the water and land ceremony, and the souls of the dead who cannot be sacrificed, but the ghosts gather together and have deep obsessions. After death, they still hope to protect the heroes from all walks of life. The widows are soaked into rivers and rivers, even though the fire is weak, it can burn the wild.Everywhere the lights flicker together and split, like pedestrians on the road, who will eventually go their separate ways. In the many government offices and private academies, there seems to be the sound of books, like reading at night with lights on, and there are people who are faintly lit like crossing the river, or walking in the wind. Or hesitating, looking back, there are the city and the countryside, the light is very little, like the lights in the cold window, and the lights meet on the road, stopping and not moving forward is like meeting old people.There are places where the Taiping Mountain, Fuqi Sect, Yuzhigang and other sects have been destroyed. It seems that there are lights, as if the monks have risen against the wind, bringing bursts of fluorescent light in the dark night. There are lights all over the continent, etc. High, like a couple, life and death, unwilling to part, and there are those height gaps, almost, those adults are holding the hands of their children, as if parents are bowing their heads to comfort those children, not afraid, not afraid, parents are by their side ...

The most holy teacher turned his head to look at the guest in green shirt beside him.

The young man who had been gazing silently before, when he saw the last scene, his eyes were blurred with tears, his lips trembled, and he wrinkled his face vigorously.

The most holy teacher quietly waited for the young people around him, calming down bit by bit.

The young man turned his head, took several deep breaths, turned back again, and silently bowed to the most holy teacher to express his gratitude.

The old man turned sideways and bowed his hands in return.

Looking at the time, the new year is coming soon.

So when Chen Ping straightened up and got up, he realized that he was no longer in Yaolou, Tongyezhou Town.

Instead, return to the top of Dayue Sui Mountain.

It is rumored that in ancient times, Suishan once set up a solar term courtyard, in which there was a drum for heralding the spring. When the drum was played, it was to bid farewell to the old and usher in the new, and to herald the coming of spring for the world.

But for some reason, it has been too many years since someone beat drums to welcome the spring in Suishan.

Chen Pingan, who was on the high platform of the Chiqi Academy, stared blankly at the huge heraldic drum, and took a deep breath.

Chen Ping began to beat the drum.

Sound the spring drum to welcome the spring together.
