Dark at night, inside a classical mountain village on the outskirts of the city.

In the deepest part of the lodge, in a green area divided by a low hedge, you can see an antique attic with intricately carved mahogany windows and doors covered with old-fashioned tissue paper.

Yan Shuishui stood in front of the main entrance of the attic, looked at the closed door, and said respectfully: "Master, the apprentice is back." ”

An old and hoarse female voice came from the attic:

"Shui'er, the teacher has already told you, this rain prayer technique should not be abused, now the mortals of the world are no longer the mortals of the past, their science ...... Science and technology have spied a corner of the natural laws of heaven and earth, and they may not be able to see the strangeness of this rain, if it is discovered by mortals, even if they can't track you, the will of the outer demons will attract those hidden free outer demons to track. ”

"Master, I'm not a child. Yan Shuishui pouted and said, "After I performed the rain prayer technique, I immediately dispersed the rain cloud, and even if the outer demons noticed it, they couldn't find me." ”

"You know it's good to be careful. The old hoarse female voice in the attic said.

"By the way, Master, I would like to ask you a question. ”

Yan Shuishui pretended to ask casually: "You told me before, there are no demons now, and animals and plants can't open the spiritual intelligence, so how can you open the spiritual intelligence?"

The old and hoarse female voice in the attic wondered, "Why did you suddenly ask about this?"

Yan Shuishui said helplessly: "I recently got a cat, but I'm afraid that it will leave me in a young age, so I want it to cultivate into a refinement." ”

This is a statement she has already thought of, and there is indeed such a cat.

The reason why she concealed the pine tree at the door of the calligraphy and painting shop was mainly because she was worried that Shizun and other masters would know that there was such a tree that had opened its spiritual wisdom, and maybe they would be interested in catching it and studying it.

It's rare to know such a simple and cute demon, she doesn't want to see anything happen to the little pine tree.

"Want to help a cat become a sperm?"

The old and hoarse female voice in the attic flashed a hint of laughter, and said softly: "Then don't think about it, legend has it that in ancient times, all souls absorbed the aura of heaven and earth, the essence of the sun and the moon, and it was possible to open the spiritual wisdom, and those who have achieved cultivation can also ignite all the spirits into essence, but after experiencing the ancient catastrophe, this is just delusional." ”

"Delusional?" Yan Shuishui wondered, "Isn't it possible to turn on the spiritual wisdom now?"

"The avenue is fifty, the sky is forty-nine, there is no absoluteness in the world, even in today's era of external demons, there are two methods in the legend. The old and hoarse female voice in the attic said.

"Two?" Yan Shuishui's eyes lit up.

"First, in the legend, in ancient times, there was a day when the god object, called 'Emperor Slurry', on the top of the sky, through the legendary well of the beginning, fell into the world, birds and beasts, plants and trees and all spirits, by its essence, that is, it can become open the spiritual wisdom, and refine the demon soul, the more the emperor swallows the pulp, the more the demon soul grows. ”

After speaking, the old and hoarse female voice in the attic chuckled and said: "It's a pity, if there is a great change today, the well of the beginning has been turned into the magic well of the beginning of the Yuan, and the emperor's flow slurry has not appeared for thousands of years, so it is just a myth and legend." ”

Yan Shuishui was stunned.

She originally thought that it might be that the owner of the calligraphy and painting shop accidentally got this 'emperor flow pulp', but it didn't seem to be.

"What about the second method?" Yan Shuishui asked.

"As for the second method......"

The old and hoarse female voice in the attic said leisurely: "That is the real immortal master, even if the master who has crossed the five heavenly passes can't do it, but after flying to the heavenly realm, there must be the power of the immortal family to do it, otherwise many Dao systems will not have a demon god lineage." ”

Yan Shuishui listened, but was stunned.

Immortal power?

In this era, only the power of the immortal family can ignite all spirits and open up spiritual wisdom?

Originally, she was still thinking...... The owner of the calligraphy and painting shop may really be a master, but judging from the paintings found in the wastebasket, the level of brushwork is obviously much lower.

Therefore, she suspected that those calligraphy and paintings were only obtained by the owner of the calligraphy and painting shop by accident, and may not have been written by his own hand.

But now it seems that the other party's realm may be really higher than she imagined!

Because...... The pine tree at the door of his calligraphy and painting shop is the other party's enlightenment after it was lit!

In the remote alleys of this secular city, there is a real immortal god hidden in it?

Is the other party an immortal descending to earth, or is it the reincarnation of a celestial immortal?

As soon as she thought of this, Yan Shuishui couldn't help but tremble in her heart, thinking about it like this, no wonder the other party dared to leave her alone in the calligraphy and painting shop, and let her see those precious calligraphy and paintings!

Maybe those calligraphy and paintings are very precious to her, and even to the masters of the world, but for the other party, I'm afraid it's nothing!

"What's wrong?"

The old and hoarse female voice in the attic said, "You don't have to be too demanding, all souls have life and death, even cultivators have the day when they will die, and there is no need to fight for one...... A pet and more delusions. ”

Yan Shuishui took a deep breath, collected his thoughts, and said in a low voice: "Yes, Master." ”

"What's more, there is an interesting rumor about 'pointing'. ”

The old and hoarse female voice in the attic said: "Legend has it that even after the master of the preaching and ignition of something, he cannot communicate with the enlightened thing, because once the enlightened person notices the enlightened thing, the ignited thing will lose its freedom and cannot move, and only after the transformation of a person can it return to normal." ”

When Yan Shuishui heard this, he was suddenly stunned.

No wonder, no wonder the pine tree said that when the owner of the calligraphy shop saw it, it couldn't move.

I see.

"These absurd legends don't need to be mentioned. ”

The old and hoarse female voice in the attic asked, "Your co-working Dharma body, the next day, will you have a chance to break through?"

"Returning to the Master, I have found some opportunities, if it goes well, I can break through in a while. Yan Shuishui said with a smile: "The altar of praying for heaven will ask the master to respect you." ”

This is thanks to the calligraphy and painting shop, seeing the calligraphy of 'good as water', which touched her bottleneck, let her see the true way of water, and her spiritual realm was improved again.

Otherwise, I don't know how many years I will be trapped.

"Good, very good, worthy of the body of water virtue. ”

The old and hoarse female voice in the attic said in surprise: "Only half a Jiazi time to practice, you can break through the third day level, maybe in the future you still have hope to break the fifth level, pray for the heavenly altar to rest assured to the master, you just have to practice well." ”

'If only I could always understand that calligraphy, ala......s,' Yan Shuishui sighed in his heart and said, "That disciple has retired." ”

......

......

Early the next morning.

Lin Zhishui, as usual, walked through the deep alley with his satchel on his back and came to the door of his calligraphy and painting shop.

Not long after the door opened, I saw a person walk in outside the door.

A man in his thirties, wearing a black trench coat, with medium and long hair tied behind his head, an angular face, pursed his lips, and a low expression written on his face.

Coming to the guest so early?

Lin Zhishui observed the guest as fast as he could.

No, this person doesn't look like he's here to buy calligraphy and paintings, isn't it...... This person is what Han Suxin said yesterday, the guest who came to bear the guilt of Jing Invitation?

Cheng July's parents?

He was a little nervous, after all, he fooled other people's daughters for hundreds of thousands, God knows what Han Suxin said yesterday, maybe people gave Han Suxin a face, just a perfunctory appearance?

Lin ...... Mr. Lim. ”

Cheng Buxiu took a deep breath and said with some trepidation.

He originally wanted to call Senior Lin, but suddenly remembered that his daughter had said that Senior Lin liked a quiet and ordinary life, and he just used those calligraphy and paintings to receive some cultivator guests.

Calling Lin senior is a bit of a destruction of the artistic conception of ordinary life, after all, few mortals call seniors.

"Mr. Cheng, huh?"

Lin Zhishui spoke first, tried to remain calm, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to come so early, I happened to have something to go out yesterday, and I failed to be polite, I was a little lazy, but I also left something in this store that can make Mr. Cheng solve his doubts, you shouldn't blame me anymore, right?"

He was a little worried that the other party thought that he ran out to avoid debts, and then he lost his momentum, which must be explained.

The subtext is: Anyway, I have left so many precious calligraphy and paintings in the store, you have seen them all, you should understand that your daughter did not spend money in vain, you will not ask for money again, right?

"Of course not, it's the junior's fault, how dare the junior blame you?" Cheng Buxiu hurriedly bowed his head slightly.

He understood.

This senior Lin seemed to be apologizing, but in fact, he was only reminding him: 'Even if you came to me yesterday, you are not qualified to let me take action personally, and you can't even get by the little tricks I left in the store.' ’

As for Senior Lin's last sentence asking him not to blame, I'm afraid it's just irony.

The subtext is probably this: 'I saved your life, you should thank me.'" ’
