Cao Xuan saw the extremely surprised expression of the mayor of Beizhen, and explained with a smile: "The old mayor actually doesn't need to be surprised, I, Cao Xuan, am the one who should go over there, but because of some special circumstances, I have been avoiding some things, and I am also evading now, and I am also cowardly, I have never dared to face it, I came here and looked north, the purpose is to slowly overcome my own mentality." ”

The mayor of Beizhen was taken aback, he didn't expect that an immortal figure like Cao Xuan would also escape, be afraid, and be cowardly.

He thought for a moment and asked: "Why do Shang Immortals have to go there, it is very dangerous there, even if there are many famous immortals in the Donghua Continent, they are not willing to risk going deep to fight those monsters born of snow, Shang Xian wants to go to a farther place, more dangerous, hesitant, and even retreat is understandable." ”

"If you don't have to go, I suggest that Shangxian go back to the Donghua Continent and continue to practice. The mayor of Northtown said with a gentle smile.

He didn't despise me because Cao Xuan said these words, but admonished him with good intentions.

Because Cao Xuan has taught the townspeople a lot of things in these days in Beizhen, he has not paid for the construction of ancestral shrines, schools, etc., and he is a first-class benefactor for the town.

Suddenly, Cao Xuan turned his head to look at the mayor of Beizhen and asked, "What has Gao Bei been doing lately, and how is his character practice?"

When the mayor of Beizhen heard this, his expression was slightly dark, and he replied respectfully and solemnly: "That kid is following the instructions of the immortals, and he is practicing hard. ”

Cao Xuan sighed and said: "This time I came out to walk, it was originally a dusty fate, and I ended that period of cause and effect, who could have imagined it, but I was blessed by misfortune, and I found such a good material that can be made, the teachings of the predecessors of Shangyun Zhenren, the younger generation is especially fresh in memory!"

As he spoke, he read out a sentence that someone had said in front of the world: "You never know what will happen in the future, because the will of heaven is unpredictable, and since the will of heaven is unpredictable, the only thing you can do at the moment is to walk the road under your feet and be ready at all times." ”

......

......

Gao Bei was a natural Dao species discovered by Cao Xuan on the first day he came to Beizhen, and his qualifications were excellent, even if he was even better than Ling Yue and Fu Bang by Wang An's side at this time.

So when the people of Beizhen asked who Cao Xuan needed to serve him, he named the little boy.

At this time, Gao Bei had just completed the task assigned by Cao Xuan - practicing calligraphy.

Yes, Cao Xuan intended to cultivate Gao Bei, but he did not hand over his sword skills that could shock the Donghua Continent to Gao Bei, but let Gao Bei practice calligraphy day by day, and all he practiced was one word.

That word is the word "knife".

Cao Xuan has been cultivating knives for many years and can be called the first person to use knives in the Donghua Continent.

Based on the long and long way he had come, he felt that if he wanted to learn a knife, he had to know the knife first.

If you want to know the knife, you must first learn how to write the word "knife".

The so-called reading a book a hundred times is its own meaning, which is also the truth.

After practicing thousands of times, tens of thousands of times, won't you completely learn to write the word "knife"?

When Cao Xuan took Gao Bei with him, not only the mayor of Beizhen, but even Gao Bei's parents were so happy that they had to set off firecrackers to celebrate.

However, after all, it was because he was afraid of disturbing Cao Xuan, so this firecracker was not set off in the end.

......

......

As soon as he finished practicing calligraphy today, Gao Bei put down his pen and ink in a hurry, ran to the entrance of the town, and played with Liu Rou, the daughter of Liu Huai'an, the rich man of Beizhen, and Zhang Shuyu, the son of Zhang Blacksmith.

"I heard that you worshipped an immortal as a master?" Liu Rou said as she looked at Gao Bei with envy on her face.

Gao Bei scratched his head a little shyly, and said a little embarrassedly: "It's the Shangxian who looks up to me and is willing to take me with him and learn something." ”

Suddenly, Zhang Shuyu was also interested, his eyes flashed with a glint of light, and he asked, "What are you learning, are those spells that can fly with a sword and soar through the clouds?"

From the adults to the children in the northern town, they are no strangers to cultivators, nor are they familiar with them.

Gao Bei felt a little embarrassed, shook his head, and said timidly: "The immortal master didn't teach me any spells, just taught me to practice calligraphy. ”

"Practicing calligraphy?" Zhang Shuyu and Liu Rou were a little suspicious of their ears, their eyes widened, their mouths opened wide, and they asked with an incredulous expression.

Gao Bei nodded, and said with a serious and honest expression: "Shangxian did teach me to practice calligraphy, and the requirements are very harsh, I have practiced almost five hundred times, but Shangxian is still not satisfied at all. ”

"Five hundred times?" Zhang Shuyu and Liu Rou were even more suspicious of their ears, their eyes widened for a while, and their mouths opened wider, as if they had heard something incredible.

For example, the sun came out of the west, and for example, the muddy river flowed westward.

But as a result, Gao Bei still nodded with a serious and honest expression, then showed a bitter face, and said helplessly: "Yes, I don't know when I will be able to practice to the end, and then the master will teach me the immortal method?"

Zhang Shuyu and Liu Rou suddenly felt that Gao Bei was also quite pitiful, so they patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "It's okay, after practicing hard, you will be a god in the future, but you can't forget the two of us." ”

Gao Bei smiled innocently and said, "How can I forget you two, even if I forget anyone, I can't forget you!"

In fact, there is another sentence in his heart.

That's Liu Rou, I still want to marry you, how can I forget you?

Liu Rou and Zhang Shuyu suddenly thought of something and asked, "By the way, what words did the immortal master tell you to practice?"

"Knives!" Gao Bei replied with a blank expression.

"Knife?" Liu Rou and Zhang Shuyu's eyes widened.

"Yes, it's a knife, now I can write this word with my eyes closed in my dreams, alas!" Gao Bei remembered the pain of writing a word many times a day, and having to write meticulously with his heart, sighing, very helpless.

Just then, a gentle voice rang out.

"It's good to practice knives, if you can't practice 500 times, then 50,000 times, and after 50,000 times, you have a knife in your heart, then the world is a knife." ”

It is a voice full of wisdom and contagion, as if as soon as you hear this voice, the originally restless mind will immediately calm down.

Gao Bei, Liu Rou, and Zhang Shuyu looked up, only to see the sun setting at the end of their sight, and three figures standing in the sunset.

Immediately after, Gao Bei, Liu Rou, and Zhang Shuyu were all stunned.

Because they've never seen anyone so good-looking.

The young man in a black robe and a shawl is not as beautiful as in the mortal world, but like the most perfect masterpiece of heaven.

In his left hand, he held a bone flute that exuded a chill from the forest, and in the middle of that bone flute was a bright red blood line.

On his right wrist, there is also a bracelet that looks ordinary but is actually extremely unusual.

For some reason, Gao Bei always felt that the bracelet was not a bracelet, but a sword.

Gao Bei, Liu Rou, and Zhang Shuyu all felt that the face of the young man in Xuanyi was a little dazzling, and subconsciously rubbed his eyes.

It's like a great painter who has seen the most outstanding paintings in the world.

It's like a great calligrapher who has seen the most beautiful and charming characters in the world.

It's like a hard-working carpenter, seeing the most beautiful craftsman's work in the world.

Immediately after, Zhang Shuyu said with a on his face: "Wow, the young lady next to her is also so good-looking!"

At this time, Liu Rou and Gao Bei's eyes fell on Ling Yue.

368.

The woman in red stood in the setting sun, holding a very good-looking ancient sword, and the remnant sun was like blood, adding a touch of rich color to her red dress.

But for some reason, the three of them looked at the woman in red, and only felt that the cold rose from their feet, and then sat on their hearts, as if a sword hung over their necks and hearts.

They felt that the woman in red was like a sharp sword without a sheath.

Finally, they realized that there was another person beside the woman in red.

It was a little Taoist boy with a wooden sword, slightly older than them, and his appearance was very pleasing, and he was quite friendly, and there was no shelf.

When he saw Liu Rou, Gao Bei, and Zhang Shuyu, he also showed a very gentle and polite smile, giving people a kind and amiable feeling.

When he saw Liu Rou, Gao Bei, and Zhang Shuyu, he also showed a very gentle and polite smile, giving people a kind and amiable feeling.

These three people, no matter where they are placed, are an extremely eye-catching existence.

And now it appears in the desolate town of North Town, which is a bit abnormal.

If you are abnormal, there will be a demon.

But Gao Bei, Liu Rou, and Zhang Shuyu are only three children after all, where can they think of such a deep problem.

In the end, they just looked at Wang An, Lingyue, and Duobao Xiaodaotong, looking stupid and stupid, and a little sluggish.

In the end, Gao Bei, who was praised by Cao Xuan as a qualified wizard, was the first to come back to his senses, looked at the somewhat dazzling face, and asked curiously: "You also know knives?"

Wang An smiled slightly and said, "I understand a little." ”

Gao Bei, Liu Rou, and Zhang Shuyu looked at Wang An, Ling Yue, and Duobao Xiaodaotong a little confused, and they thought: Do you understand this little or not?

At this time, Wang An had already scrubbed the bright red line in the middle of the bone flute that made the scalp numb and chill with his left hand.

The line is very straight, like a sharp sword, because it is straight, so fast.

It looks like a flute, but it's a very fast sword.

Gao Bei, who has practiced calligraphy countless times, looked at the bone flute and thought of it.

However, Wang An had already taken Duobao and Lingyue deep into Beizhen.

Su Gu's eyes widened, and he seemed to be a little unable to react for a while, but just for a moment, as if he remembered something, he hurriedly took out an embroidered bag from his arms - a money bag, and said: "This bag of Qin coins is called'Dizi Money', which is one of the many incense money in the world, which is generally used in the land mountain temple, worships many gods on the ground, worships the prince of the bull head and horse noodle stove, and also has the theory of suppressing the feng shui of the house, and is built with the 'gold essence' that is more valuable than gold, also known as the 'earth word pressure money'." ”

Tang Jiu shook his head and said, "It's too precious. ”

Su said with a smile: "The courtesy is light and affectionate, and when the town is farewell, I don't know when we can meet, so I naturally have to give some expensive gifts to be worthy of this friendship and heart." ”

For some reason, Tang Jiu couldn't help but think of Mr. Shen's words, and said: "Where we don't meet in life, there will always be a day when we meet again." ”

Su Gu didn't speak, and his immature and somewhat dull face was full of stubbornness.

Tang Jiu was a little helpless, so he had to take over the bag of "Ground Character Pressing Money".

Su Guxi smiled, his originally dull face was no longer dull, he gradually became bright, hesitated, and finally made up his mind after a while, and mustered up the courage to ask: "Tang Jiu, are we friends?"

......

......

After saying goodbye to Su Gu in advance, Tang Jiu, who was holding a bag of "Ground Character Pressing Money", walked not far from the front yard of the school, and saw Bai Zao's figure, slightly surprised: "Why are you here?"

The white-dressed maid who was originally competing with Mr. Shen not only faded the red golden brilliance in her eyes in an instant, but even the coldness in her eyes and the sarcasm at the corners of her mouth disappeared, and she turned back into that delicate and innocent girl.

She turned to look at Tang Jiu, and smiled skillfully: "I saw that Gongzi went out this morning, and he didn't return for a long time, and when it was time for dinner, I waited for a long time and didn't see Gongzi, so I was inevitably upset, so I went out to inquire, and later I heard that Gongzi was playing chess at Mr. Shen's place, so I came over and called Gongzi to go home for dinner." ”

Tang Jiu nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, then go home!"

Xiaobai said obediently: "Hey, okay, son." ”

She walked into the school, trotted past Mr. Shen, and came to Tang Jiu's side, tugging on Tang Jiu's snow-white sleeves, gently shaking, bouncing, lively and lovely, innocent.

When the master and servant came to the door of the school, Tang Jiu turned around and bowed to Mr. Shen and saluted: "May Mr. be well." ”

Xiaobai also gave a blessing to Mr. Shen: "Then Bai Zao and Gongzi left first." ”

Mr. Shen nodded and smiled.

After a while, the green-shirted Confucian man watched the pair of master and servant gradually drift away among the bamboo forests of Xiangfei, and sighed slowly as they left, and muttered to themselves: "The breath of the dragon, Jiang Jiao turns into a real dragon." ”

The breeze is not dry, and the bamboo leaves are swaying, like the sound of flipping a book.

......

......

Walk home in the twilight.

When Tang Jiu and Xiaobai were close to the few old locust trees in Peach Blossom Town, there were locust leaves falling and dripping.

When the young man in white saw this locust leaf, he hesitated, as if he was thinking about whether to grab it or cut it off.

It's just a gust of evening breeze blowing, and the locust leaves pass by him.

Tang Jiu frowned, and Bai Zao also shifted his gaze and noticed this locust leaf.

At this moment, a naughty boy holding a string of rock sugar gourds and snotty snot passed by Tang Jiu and Bai Zao like a gust of wind.

The locust leaf swirled in the air and silently landed on the naughty boy's shoulder.

The runny boy didn't even know himself, and he didn't know when a locust leaf would rest on his shoulder.

The storyteller doesn't know where he went, and he has long stopped telling those strange and interesting things that he has saved up under the only old locust trees in these towns.

Farther away, at the fortune-telling booth, a young Taoist in a tattered robe gently stroked the sparse goatee on his chin.
