The men of the Wizard's Hall withdrew from the woods and retreated to Hill D to rest. [Full text reading]

In a forest outside D, the old man sat on the bluestone with his eyes slightly closed, and the white snow fluttered above his head, and the snow fell scattered around, and the snow on the old man's body was not sticky.

Rustling, there was a sound of footsteps, Gurung walked over from a distance, knelt down in front of the old man, "Patriarch, the disciple lost this time, which disgraced the Immortal Master Palace, please punish the Patriarch ......"

At the end of the words, Gurung choked with regret and burst into tears.

"Gurung, do you know ********?" the old man asked as he slowly opened his eyes.

"The disciple was arrogant and arrogant, and he lost in the hands of Wei Wuji, and even the fat senior brother and the thin senior brother were also hit hard. Gurung replied.

"No, Gurung, your fault lies in losing to Wei Wuji, and you have a knot in your heart, and you will never forget it. ”

The old man said slowly, "In a person's lifelong cultivation, he has to lose many times, this is not a big deal, the important thing is how to face it after losing. It is the right choice to work hard to win it back, but because of this, it is a big mistake to have a knot in your heart! If it deepens and aggravates it, it will evolve into a demon in your heart, and it will be too late to regret it!"

"The disciple lost to Wei Wuji, and he was really unwilling in his heart! Gurung kowtowed repeatedly.

"Doing everything in moderation, being too much to blame, and being impartial is the right way. It's good that you want to defeat Wei Wuji, but you can't worry too much. If you lose and continue to cultivate, don't blame yourself too much in your heart. The fat and thin waiter's injury is not your fault, but the result of my ordering him to test Wei Wuji. ”

When the old man said this, he paused and said slowly, "Your talent is above Wei Wuji, but you haven't fully stimulated it. ”

"Please ask the patriarch for advice. Gurung bowed.

"Your innate talent is the artistic conception of fire, and after it is stimulated, there is no mixed pure artistic conception, but it needs to be familiar and honed in terms of driving. But that's not all you have to do, you need to be quiet and take your time to understand it for yourself. The old man said.

Gurung's face showed doubts, "Ancestor, do you mean that my fire artistic conception lacks the training in its use, or do you have another talent that needs to be stimulated?"

"You need to experience this yourself, you must calm down, don't think about winning or losing, Wei Wuji is just your whetstone, now...... Let me see your fiery mood. The old man said lightly.

Gurung nodded, stretched out his hand, and a cyan flame formed in his palm.

The old man stretched out his hand and grabbed a small piece of ice and snow in the air, moved to the top of the flame, put it into the flame, and sneered, the ice and snow were instantly melted by the flames, turned into a cloud of white steam, and disappeared in the air.

"Ancestor, you are ......" Gurung looked surprised.

"Don't speak. The old man continued to take a small piece of ice, put it into the flames, and snort! The ice cube was still melted, and dissipated into steam.

"No, the ice will melt the fire...... the old man said, shaking his head.

"Of course, the fire will melt the ice. Gurung was puzzled, not understanding what the old man meant.

"Gurung, the melting of ice by fire is just the norm, all you have to do is that the ice does not melt in the fire. ”

The old man looked at Gurung, and there was another deep meaning in his eyes, "If you want to understand something that you have ignored between ice and fire, the first thing you need to do is to meditate. ”

Gurung's heart was shocked, as if he had sensed something from the old man's words, and his expression became sluggish.

"Go down first, and tell the others that you are not allowed to enter the woods for an hour, and I will think about it purely. The old man said.

Gurung came back to his senses, agreed, and kowtowed to the old man.

The old man looked at Gurung's departing figure, a smile appeared on his face, and then closed his eyes again.

Half an hour later, he slowly opened his eyes, stood up, took out a two-foot square white jade plate, and placed it on the flat bluestone under the seat. The white jade plate is engraved with cumbersome runes, like a communication circle. He took out more than thirty spirit stones, took out the spiritual energy, and began to activate the communication circle.

A fluorescence rose from the white jade plate as if it were a plant, hanging three feet away, and evolved into a circular rune.

"You're here, what's going on?" A voice came from the rune, it was the voice of Liuyunzi of the Guiyuan Sect.

"It's going well, Wei Wuji has already left the Blood Attraction City and headed for the Chifeng Fortress. The old man replied.

"Well, it's good that nothing happened, for more than twenty years, he's the most suitable person I've ever found. If it weren't for him, our incident would have become very difficult, and the time is getting closer and closer......," Liuyunzi said.

"Why don't you ask about the outcome of the duel between the two?" the old man asked.

"I don't want to embarrass you, hehe......" Liuyunzi smiled.

"It's just a whetstone, Gurung's talent is above him, do you think I'll believe he's an epiphany? The old man said lightly.

"Wei Wuji's understanding is indeed appalling, above you and me, the old man is ashamed of himself. That's why I chose him...... Okay, let's not argue about this, what's going on over there in Blood Attraction City?" asked Liuyunzi.

"I saw that the strength of that city lord was not enough to support the Shang Alliance, and there should be other people behind him to support him. The location of Blood Induction City is far away, and no matter what they do, they can't affect the Northern Clan. I'm not interested in delving into this kind of boring thing. The old man replied.

"If it is not harmful to the Northern Clan, it will not affect the Chifeng Fortress, and it will have nothing to do with the Tianzhou Kingdom. So be it, if anything happens, I'll summon you. Liuyunzi replied.

"Hehe, I have one more thing here, which is about Wei Wuji. ”

The old man smiled and said, "There are three people from the Tianzhou Kingdom, who followed Wei Wuji and the three of them in Iron Banner City, and then fought fiercely outside the Cold Wind Mountain. The three of them probably misestimated Wei Wuji's strength and were killed on the spot. Things in the wasteland are hard to bump into. But because of the duel, Gurung let some people follow Wei Wuji and saw the result of the fight. ”

"Who are the three?" asked Liuyunzi.

"I only saw the faces of the two corpses, and I poured my thoughts into the jade talisman and passed it on to you. After the old man finished speaking, he began to prepare for teleportation.

Guiyuan Zongmen, among the mountain D of a mountain peak,

Liuyunzi got the appearance of the two Jing families, Jing Wenting and Jing Wenxuan. He stepped out of the mountain, looked at the night in the sky, and headed towards Guiyuan City.

In the backyard of the Jing family, Jing Wendan fell to the ground, looking at Liuyunzi in front of him, his eyes showed despair, "Liuyunzi Sect Master, why did you attack me? Even if I am guilty and deserve to be punished, I should go through the Law Enforcement Hall and be interrogated by sectal rules before I can be convicted and punished." ”

"What have you done, you know in your heart that it is a capital crime to kill a disciple of the sect. Let me tell you, the three of Jing Wenting have already died north of Chifeng, so I don't need to be verbose about the matter, right? As for me to make a direct move, I just want to be simple, and I don't want to be troubled by cumbersome sect rules. Liuyunzi said.
