As soon as the light and graceful steps of the spring girl entered the world, she was hit by a cold current of inverted spring, and shrank back timidly.

In the afternoon, the sun finally warmed up, and the bitter cold wind eased slightly.

In the Golden Tea House in Pingyang City.

Su Chunfeng stood by the window of the cubicle on the second floor, looking at the park behind the teahouse, the depressed weeping willows shivering in the cold wind and the wrinkled secluded lake, his expression was calm and calm.

On the iron stove next to it, a pot of boiling water was boiling, and it was constantly steaming.

During this time period, there were no tea customers in the Jinming teahouse except for him, and it was very deserted.

The door curtain was opened, Feng Pingyao came in with a tea set, and after the arrangement was ready, he took down the kettle from the stove, and began to pour and make tea in an orderly manner, while saying with a kind expression: "People who have already participated in the work, so busy, there is still time to come back to Pingyang to drink tea with me." ”

"I miss your old tea." Su Chunfeng smiled and walked to the tea table.

Feng Pingyao shook his head and said with a smile: "It's just ordinary deep well water, what's so good." Are you in trouble again? ”

"The quality of tea is indeed related to the quality of the water, but it mainly depends on the quality of the tea, as well as the people and craftsmanship of making tea, although I don't know much about the way of tasting tea, but I also know that there is such a special thing." Su Chunfeng smiled and said, "Your old words make me feel ashamed, as if I came to you to drink tea, and the main purpose was to take advantage of you...... Well, if you are here to drink the tea you brewed yourself, and you can be considered to be able to calm down and recuperate, then I admit that I did encounter difficulties, so I came to drink your tea. ”

"Flamboyant, less than two years after entering the society, it was corroded." Feng Pingyao reprimanded gently, sat down and made himself a cup of tea, and said, "Forget it, now that the business in the teahouse is deserted, I have free time, just listen to you and talk about your thoughts, what's the difficulty?" ”

Su Chunfeng slowly drank a cup of tea, then poured it himself, and said: "If you want to talk about difficulties, I have encountered a lot over the years, and you have also given me a lot of help, and I have indeed deliberately borrowed your old reputation many times to fake the tiger in the Qimen rivers and lakes." But I won't be presumptuous, and when I encounter so many difficult things, whether it is relying on violence-force fighting methods, or playing scheming and conspiracy layouts, I have not lost to anyone. It's just that there will be an end to manpower...... Su Chunfeng sighed softly, and then said: "Old man, tell me, you teach and educate people like this and then study, and you can read a half-saint realm for most of your life, can you be regarded as a great Confucian in Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism?" ”

"Why do you suddenly ask this?" Feng Pingyao asked kindly, and did not answer Su Chunfeng's question directly, "Could it be that you want to break away from the metaphysical correction path?" ”

"Old man, in this Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, I don't talk about Confucianism, Confucianism and Taoism, it should always be a metaphysical classification, right?"

"Fallacy, who said that?" Feng Pingyao said.

Su Chunfeng frowned slightly, and said in surprise: "The five techniques of metaphysics, the mountain doctor's life divination, the mountain gate is separated from the red dust and transcendent world, all of them are monks, and it is natural to ask the Tao to ask the heavens, isn't it the mountain gate technique?" ”

"There was a conflict between you and the mountain gate?" Feng Pingyao asked rhetorically again.

"Sort of, sooner or later there will be an end." Su Chunfeng said frankly.

Feng Pingyao nodded, and said: "In the past, I concentrated on learning, and I never believed in metaphysics, nor did I care, until I gradually realized the nature of knowing the way of heaven, I understood a lot, and began to pay attention to this aspect of things. But the orthodox religion does not classify itself into the mountain gate. In other words, the so-called people in the mountain gate who have escaped from the red dust and transcended the world on the Qimen rivers and lakes are not the people in Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism that our normal society recognizes. At the very least, under normal circumstances, the people in the religion that we recognize and accept by society and government have no magic, only a state of mind. Of course, the enlightened masters of this kind of sect and religion, your magic can't hurt them. ”

"Huh?" Su Chunfeng was surprised - although he had never interacted with the people in the mountain gate in this life, but in his previous life on the Qimen rivers and lakes, especially in the last battle, he was indeed against the people in the mountain gate, and most of the powerful people in the mountain gate were like real people in Taoist robes, and some of them wore robes and bald heads with ring scars.

Why, isn't it one of the three religions?

"They are a very special group of beings, more mysterious than the sect-religion figures, or rather, the tantric sects of the various religions?" Feng Pingyao said with a serious expression: "I have sensed their existence from afar, and I have had brief contact with consciousness, but I have never communicated face-to-face. ”

Su Chunfeng was a little unbelievable for a while, he drank a cup of tea, lit a cigarette, and said quietly: "Then are they orthodox or unorthodox?" ”

"Is metaphysics orthodox?"

"Okay." Su Chunfeng pursed his lips and said, "I have always tried to avoid conflicts with anyone, but as I said just now, when the manpower is exhausted, in the future, I may be forced to have a head-on conflict with them, so since they do not belong to the same line as a Confucian sage like you, then I can be more calm." ”

"How could they find you?" Feng Pingyao was puzzled.

Su Chunfeng smiled bitterly and said, "Are you always interested, listen to me tell the story of the Qimen rivers and lakes?" ”

"I wasn't interested before, but now, it's a little bit."

Su Chunfeng nodded, and began to talk about trickery without hurry, about Qimen Jianghu, about the special mysterious institution of the official, about his bits and pieces over the years, and about ...... His helplessness, his sharpness, his, deliberate and painstaking, tell everything he cares about.

Feng Pingyao drank tea slowly, quietly listening to Su Chunfeng talk about his youth in the rivers and lakes and the years he had been driven away.

Long.

When Su Chunfeng stopped talking a little tiredly, groped his cheeks with both hands, and smiled bitterly, Feng Pingyao said lightly: "If there really is such a day, what are you going to do?" ”

"Kill."

"Is there no other choice?"

"I think there was a day when I really didn't have a choice."

"Sometimes, admitting defeat and being willing to give up something that seems important is not a shameful thing, let alone a regret, just the so-called taking a step back and opening up the sky." Feng Pingyao said with a little emotion and sympathy: "I know that young people are vigorous and always have a competitive heart, especially when they occupy the truth, they can't tolerate the bullying of others, but as you just said, those mysterious people in the mountain gate, they are guarding a piece of heavenly nature, they are not wrong, in fact, in my personal opinion, I will also support the responsibility of the people in the mountain gate and the faith they guard." Of course, I can understand your thoughts, and I can understand the beliefs of the sorcery bearers and the hopes they put into their struggles...... This clash of cultures and beliefs simply cannot be mediated, and you can't do it. Therefore, the best way to do this is to hope to use a compromise to alleviate the sharp contradictions between the two sides. ”

"How to compromise?"

"For example...... You and the inheritor of the trickery have both made promises to each other, just to pass on your magic, and will never expand. ”

Su Chunfeng thought for a while and said, "This is unrealistic. ”

"How?"

"I can do it, but I'm afraid the sorcery inheritor won't say yes." Su Chunfeng sighed lightly and said, "In their inheritance, perhaps, they really have the secret of eternal life. As the saying goes, the husband is innocent and guilty, how many people covet their inheritance top secret, in order to get the secret of eternal life, there are too many people and forces, will do whatever it takes. So if you don't have enough strength, how can the inheritor of trickery rest assured? ”

Feng Pingyao thought about it, and had to nod in recognition of Su Chunfeng's statement, he said: "You can try to discuss with the three parties of the mountain gate and the official, sign a contract, the inheritor of trickery will not expand its strength, and can even accept some more stringent regulations, but the mountain gate and the official, to ensure the safety of the inheritor of trickery, to ensure that the trick can be passed on smoothly, I think, considering the price that needs to be paid for various choices, they will agree." ”

"Well, I can give it a try." Su Chunfeng agreed without the slightest hope.

"What about yourself?" Feng Pingyao asked.

"Let them make conditions, as long as it's not too much, I can agree." Su Chunfeng said with a smile: "Originally, I didn't want to set foot in the Qimen rivers and lakes, and I am indeed very tolerant. ”

"Hmm." Feng Pingyao said gently: "In my lifetime, I will try my best to protect your family." ”

"Thank you!"

"Let's go back, it's still important to work."

"Hmm."

Su Chunfeng got up, bowed deeply to Feng Pingyao with a sincere expression, and left.

Feng Pingyao sat at the tea table, watched Su Chunfeng's figure disappear outside the door, and listened to his footsteps and went downstairs. This legendary old man, who had read a book and read a half-saint realm, sighed, shook his head with a somewhat sad expression, and said to himself: "A temptation of eternal life can make everyone lose their true nature, is it meaningful to live forever like that?" An earth immortal who died for eternal life is worth it or not? The people in the mountain gate are immortal, and the natural life laws that protect the heavens and the Dao of Heaven, who can say...... Are they wrong? ”

Walking out of the Golden Tea Teahouse, Su Chunfeng, who was sitting in the driver's seat, was stunned, shook his head with a wry smile, and drove away.

Manpower will eventually run out.

If you want to be perfect, relying on your personal strength alone, even if you jump over the fairyland and return to the purple, you can see the magnificent picture scroll of the true heaven and human realm when you look up, but if you are not a true immortal, how can you be perfect?

The first month of the year passed, and February arrived.

On the day when the dragon raised its head, a piece of news made headlines in many media reports - Huainan Zongheng International Shipping Group and Yuzhou Wantong Logistics Group jointly funded the establishment of Wantong International Logistics Express Company, with a registered capital of 100 million yuan, and the head office is located in Zhonghai City.

Although the news propaganda is already quite in place, as we all know, in fact, this kind of news does not attract much attention in society.

However, on the Qimen rivers and lakes, this news has become a sensation!

Who doesn't know that Zongheng International Shipping Group is a wholly-owned enterprise of Qingluanzong, the largest sect in Qimen Jianghu? And the Qimen Jianghu character standing behind Vantone Logistics Group is Su Chunfeng!

The sect master of the Qingluan Sect is the invincible Suojiang Dragon Immortal Song who has been invincible in the world for more than 20 years.

Su Chunfeng is the top master of the young generation of Qimen Jianghu, even if he looks at the entire Qimen Jianghu, there are only a handful of people who can have the strength to match or surpass him!

Originally, there was nothing curious or surprising about this kind of thing.

But now, because of the reappearance of trickery in the rivers and lakes, the Qimen rivers and lakes are in the most delicate stage, and the official, Shanmen, Qimen rivers and lakes, the inheritors of trickery, and the warlocks of the Pingyang system are each making small calculations, some are ready to shoot at any time, and there are those who are vigilant and cautious......

Therefore, the cooperation between Qingluanzong and Su Chunfeng is quite meaningful.

Joining forces, who is not afraid?!
