The terrain of the Northern Yan Kingdom is flat, after the new emperor ascended the throne, he made great efforts to govern the country, and there are two places to raise horses, so the cavalry combat power is far superior to Jingnan, Wuling two countries, and then to the north is the green warbler country that has many immortal deeds since ancient times, and the literati pen notes and Zhiwei are mostly related to the water spirit Jiaolong.

Sui Jingcheng wears a power fence on his head, and has a robe and bamboo clothes to wear on his body, although in the summer season, the scorching sun is exposed, and he rides a horse during the day, it is still not a big problem, but people take care of the horse more.

On this day, the two horses stopped in the shade of the trees on the riverside, the river was clear, and there was no one around, so she took off the fence, took off her boots and socks, and when her feet were submerged in the water, she exhaled a long breath.

The senior sat not far away, took out a jade bamboo folding fan, but did not fan the breeze, just spread out the door, shook it gently, and there were words on it like duckweed in the stream. She had seen it once before, and her predecessors said that it was the immortal family script peeled off from a mountain mansion called Chunlupu, a talisman treasure boat.

Sui Jingcheng was actually a little worried about the injury of his senior, his left shoulder was directly pierced by a strong bow and arrow of a cultivator, and he was entangled in the talisman array, Sui Jingcheng couldn't imagine why his predecessor seemed to be fine, and along the way, the senior just rubbed his right hand often.

Sui Jingcheng turned his head and asked, "Senior, is it an assassin sent by Master Cao Fu and the Golden Scale Palace?"

Chen Ping'an nodded, "It can only be said that it is the most likely one." That group of assassins has obvious characteristics, it is a very famous cultivation sect in the south of Beiju Luzhou, it is said to be a sect, except for the name of Cutting Deer Mountain, but there is no mountain foundation, all assassins are called faceless people, monks of three sects and nine streams and hundreds of schools, can join, but I heard that there are more rules. There are rules on how to join, how to kill, and how much money to charge. ”

Chen Ping'an said with a smile: "There is also one of the biggest rules in Cutting Deer Mountain, after receiving money, sending assassins to attack, only kill once, if it doesn't work, only half of the deposit will be charged, no matter how heavy the casualties are, the remaining half will not be asked for by the employer, and after that, Cutting Deer Mountain will definitely not shoot against those who have failed to assassinate." So now, at least we don't have to worry about the attack on Cutting Deer Mountain. ”

Sui Jingcheng sighed, a little sad and guilty, "In the end, it's still for me." ”

Don't look at the seniors along the way, but Sui Jingcheng is as careful as a hair, knowing that the assassination was not easy for the seniors to deal with.

Chen Ping'an closed the fan and said slowly: "On the road of cultivation, blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, most of the qi practitioners are boiled out like this, the ups and downs may be big and small, but the size of the tribulation varies from person to person, I once saw a pair of mountain Taoist couples in the lower five realms, the female monk was unable to break the bottleneck because of hundreds of snowflakes, and if it was delayed, good things would turn into bad things, and there were worries about life, and the two sides had to venture into the bone beach in the south to fight for their lives, and their husbands and wives were in a state of mind all the way, you said it was not suffering?" Not only, and not small. It's not as easy as you walk all the way. ”

Sui Jingcheng smiled, "Did the seniors meet them by chance and help them?"

Chen Ping'an didn't say anything.

Sui Jingcheng knew the answer.

Chen Ping'an pointed at Sui Jingcheng with a folding fan.

Sui Jingcheng smiled knowingly, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, meditated, began to breathe and breathe, and practiced the mantra immortal method contained in the "Shangshang Xuanxuan Collection".

Cultivators, when they breathe in, there will be subtle ripples of qi around them, and mosquitoes and flies are not close, so they can resist the cold and heat on their own.

Although Sui Jingcheng has not yet achieved cultivation, he already has a prototype of meteorology, which is rare, just like when Chen Ping'an practiced mountain-shaking boxing in a small town, although the boxing frame was not yet stable, but the fist intent of the whole body flowed, and he was unaware of it, so he would be seen through by Ma Kuxuan's protector in Zhenwu Mountain. Therefore, Sui Jingcheng's qualifications are really good, but I don't know why the wandering master gave three things, since then the mud cow has entered the sea, and there has been no news for more than 30 years.

Regarding the voice and appearance of the master, it is even more strange, similar to that booklet, Sui Jingcheng can not read it, otherwise he will be confused and dizzy.

Sui Jingcheng asked the old people in the house a few years ago, and they all said that they couldn't remember it really, even Sui Xinyu, an old waiter who could never forget reading since childhood, was no exception.

Chen Ping'an knew that this was not an ordinary mountain trick.

After Sui Jingcheng opened his eyes, half an hour had passed, the glow on his body was flowing, and the robe and bamboo clothes also had aura overflowing, and the two brilliances complemented each other, like water and fire, but ordinary people could only see vaguely, but Chen Ping'an could see more, when Sui Jingcheng stopped the operation of the qi engine, the vision on his body instantly dissipated. Obviously, the bamboo robe was carefully selected by the masters, so that Sui Jingcheng's practice booklet recorded the immortal law, which can get twice the result with half the effort, which can be described as well-intentioned.

The weather is lofty and above board.

Therefore, Chen Ping'an was more inclined to that master, and he had no sinister intentions towards Sui Jingcheng.

It's just that you still need to take one step at a time, after all, on the path of cultivation, ten thousand careful, may fall short because of one carelessness.

Instead of deliberately hiding their traces, the two of them have been leaving clues, just like in the town of Sprinkle Sweeping Villa, if they just go all the way to the Green Ying Country, the master has not yet appeared, Chen Ping'an can only board Sui Jingcheng on the Xianjia ferry, go to the Bone Beach Phi Ma Sect, and then go to the Niujiao Mountain Ferry on Aquarius, according to Sui Jingcheng's own wishes, register his name on Cui Dongshan's side, and follow Cui Dongshan to practice together. I believe that if there is a real fate in the future, Sui Jingcheng will meet with that master again and renew the relationship between master and apprentice.

When he arrived at the Green Ying Country Ferry pointed out by Wang Yu's predecessors, the news that Chen Ping'an wanted to know most at present was the movement of the Yuxi River Shui Jiao on the side of the Great Seal Capital City.

Ape Cry Mountain Sword Immortal Ji Yue, has he already fought with that Ten Realms martial artist?

Sui Jingcheng put on his socks and boots, stood up, looked up at the sky, it was still a scorching sun and a scorching heat before, but now it was already dark clouds, and there were signs of heavy rain.

Chen Ping'an had already taken the lead in walking to the tethered horse and reminded: "Continue to hurry, it will rain at most a stick of incense, you can directly put on your robe." ”

Sui Jingcheng trotted over and asked with a smile: "Can the seniors predict the celestial phenomena?" In the Xingting Pavilion before, the seniors also calculated the time of the rain break. My father said that the master of the Qin Heavenly Prison of Wuling Kingdom has such a ability. ”

Chen Ping'an put on a hat, put on a robe, turned over on his horse, and said, "Do you want to learn this magical power?"

Sui Jingcheng nodded and said, "Of course!"

Chen Ping'an said with a smile: "You have been working in the field for more than ten years, and you have begged God for food all year round, so you will naturally learn to observe words and feelings." ”

Sui Jingcheng was speechless.

Chen Ping'an actually only said half of the answer, and the other half was the relationship between martial arts, and he could clearly perceive many subtleties of heaven and earth, such as the breeze blowing leaves, mosquitoes and flies flapping their wings, and dragonflies dotting water, all of which were not small movements in Chen Ping'an's eyes and ears, and it was nonsense to talk to Sui Jingcheng, a cultivator.

A torrential rain came as promised.

The two horses moved forward slowly, and did not deliberately hide from the rain, Sui Jingcheng about the wind and rain on the northward journey, never asked and complained, but soon she realized that this is also a practice, if the horseback is bumpy at the same time, she can also find a suitable breath to breathe, even in the heavy rain, still keep a clear sight, in the hot summer, and even occasionally can see those hidden in the mist of the slender "water flow" The flow of the predecessors, the predecessors said that it was the aura of heaven and earth, so Sui Jingcheng would often bend around when riding a horse, trying to capture those fleeting aura veins, of course she couldn't catch it, but the bamboo robe on her body could absorb it.

The heavy rain is hard to last, and it comes and goes in a hurry.

The two horsemen took off their robes and continued on their way.

Before the night ban, the two rode in a city around the water to rest, because there will be a water shrine in the upper reaches of the river, which is not the most worthwhile reason, mainly because the mountains and rivers depend on each other, the river is called the Styx River, the mountain is called Mount E'e, the ancestral temple of the gods of the mountains and rivers, not far away, less than three miles of road, the predecessors said that this is an extremely rare scene, must take a look. Sui Jingcheng actually didn't quite understand why his predecessors liked to visit places of interest so much, but he was afraid that there would be a mountain here, so he had to hide it in his heart.

In the market of Beiyan Kingdom, crickets have become a trend.

There are many people out of the city to go to the wilderness, a night to catch crickets and sell them for money, the poetry and music of the literati about crickets, the Northern Yan country spread a lot, mostly needles and current affairs, hidden ridicule, but the worries of the literati of the past dynasties, only to relieve the worries of the literati in the past dynasties, the courtyards of the mansions of the dignitaries and dignitaries, and the narrow portals between the market and the squares, are still happy to do this, the crickets chirp, resounding throughout the country and the opposition.

Therefore, when the two horses entered the city before, there were far more people out of the city than people in the city, and everyone carried various cricket cages, which was also a strange thing.

The inn occupies a large area, it is said that it is a large post station that has been dismantled, the current owner of the inn, is a son of a powerful person in the capital, purchased at a low price, after a heavy renovation, the business is prosperous, so many walls still have literati ink treasures, and there is a bamboo pond behind.

Chen Ping'an walked out of the house at night, walked on the path by the pond where the willows were yiyi, and when he returned to the house to practice boxing, Sui Jingcheng, who was wearing a power fence, stood on the path, Chen Ping'an said: "It's not a big problem, it's okay for you to walk alone." ”

Sui Jingcheng nodded, and after seeing her seniors leave, she walked around and returned to her room.

Chen Ping'an continued to practice the six-step pile, running the sword qi eighteen stops, but he still failed to break the last bottleneck.

Occasionally, Chen Ping'an will also wonder if his qualifications for practicing swords are so poor?

Back then, after the Inverted Hanging Mountain, those young geniuses of the Great Wall of Sword Qi seemed to have quickly mastered the essence of the eighteen stops of sword qi.

However, Chen Ping'an also had a reason to comfort himself, among the key points of the eighteen stop paths, there were three wisps of "extremely small sword qi" habitat, which was extremely obstructive, and the last bottleneck was that it was blocked in one of them.

Stopping the fist pile, Chen Ping'an began to draw the talisman, the material of the rune paper is the most ordinary yellow paper, but compared with the general Lower Five Realms Yunyoudao people, at most can only use gold and silver powder as the drawing talisman "ink", Chen Ping'an bought a lot of dansha on the mountain in Laohuai Street, Chunlupu Laohuai Street, a lot of bottles and cans, mostly three or two snowflake money a bottle, the most expensive large porcelain jar, worth a small summer money, this journey, Chen Ping'an spent a lot of three hundred talismans of various colors, the valley was attacked, proving that sometimes, winning by quantity, is reasonable.

Sui Jingcheng was lucky, and he searched out two cheats from the formation master, a talisman atlas, a true solution to the formation that lost the page, and a notebook similar to the essay insight, which recorded in detail all the experience of the formation master since he learned the talisman, Chen Ping'an valued this notebook the most.

Of course, there is also the burly strong man, a pair of gods with no low rank, as well as the big bow and all the talisman arrows.

In addition, the two talisman knives of the female assassin were engraved with "Morning Dew" and "Twilight" respectively.

It's a pity that the fairy money is not a snowflake money.

This sudden battle is the closest to the siege atmosphere of the lotus flower blessed land.

Chen Ping'an was seriously injured, but he also benefited a lot.

Once had nothing to do with Sui Jingcheng, and when he reviewed the game with chess, Sui Jingcheng asked curiously: "The predecessor turned out to be left-handed?"

Chen Ping'an nodded, "Since childhood." But after I practiced boxing, not long after I left my hometown, I kept pretending that I wasn't. ”

The leader of the Cutting Deer Mountain Assassins, the river sword cultivator was quietly watching the battle at that time, just to make sure that there was no emergency, so this person repeatedly checked the distribution of the corpses of the cavalry of the Northern Yan Kingdom on the ground, plus Chen Ping'an stabbed to death the hand of the cavalry general of the Northern Yan Kingdom, which was the right hand, he was sure that he saw the truth, and let the Cutting Deer Mountain assassin who mastered the means of pressing the bottom of the box sacrifice the magic power of the Buddhist family and detained Chen Ping'an's right hand.

Chen Ping'an actually didn't know that the monks on the mountain still had this kind of strange secret method.

So it seems that Chen Ping'an made a mistake, and with good luck, the other party miscalculated.

In fact, this is the way Chen Ping'an walks the rivers and lakes, as if he is forever in the midst of a siege.

Sui Jingcheng couldn't help but ask, "Aren't seniors tired like this?"

Chen Ping'an smiled: "Habit becomes natural. Didn't I tell you before, talking about complicated truths seems to be laborious, but in fact, after getting acquainted with it, it is more relaxed. When the time comes, if you punch and sword again, you will get closer and closer to the unrestrained realm of heaven and earth. It's not just about how powerful you are with a punch and a sword, but ...... Heaven and earth recognize, in line with the avenue. ”

At that time, Sui Jingcheng would definitely not understand what kind of style "heaven and earth are unrestrained", let alone understand the far-reaching significance of the statement "Fit the Avenue".

The next day, the two riders went to the two adjacent Shanshui Shrine Temples and continued their journey.

It is not much away from the country of green warblers, which is located on the coast of the East China Sea in Beiju Luzhou.

The two rode slowly, and Chen Ping'an said with emotion: "The big kiln of heaven and earth, the yang charcoal cooking, the melting of all things, people are not exempt." ”

Sui Jingcheng was a little drowsy, and after hearing the words of her senior, she immediately lifted her spirits, "Senior, is this the saying of the Immortal Family?

Chen Ping'an shook his head with a smile, "It's my best friend, a sentence I heard from the master who taught us how to burn the kiln, we were not very old at that time, just a funny word." The old man on my side never said this, in fact, almost never to talk to me, to be precise. Even if you go to the mountains to find soil suitable for burning porcelain, you may stay in the mountains for ten days and half a month, and the two of you can't say two or three sentences. ”

Sui Jingcheng was surprised: "The senior's master still wants to burn porcelain, is there still such an immortal mansion on the mountain?"

Chen Ping'an couldn't help but smile, nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Sui Jingcheng asked cautiously, "In this way, isn't the senior who is a good friend a higher cultivation talent?"

Chen Ping'an said with a smile: "It's hard to say about the cultivation qualifications, anyway, I can't catch up with him in my life when I burn porcelain, he will be able to take a few looks, I may need to grope for a month, and in the end I am still not as good as him." ”

Sui Jingcheng asked again: "Senior, won't there be pressure to be friends with such a person?"

Chen Ping'an laughed.

The two horsemen passed through the border of Beiyan and Luying, and there were only more than 200 miles left to go to the Xianjia ferry.

The ferry is called Longtoudu, it is the private territory of the Guyu faction of the first-class immortal sect of the Green Ying Country, according to legend, the ancestor of the Gu Yu faction, once had a game of chess with the founding emperor of the Green Ying Country, and it was the former who "lost" a mountain with his outstanding chess strength.

The sect has nothing to do with the Gu Yu money in the fairy money, but this fairy family sect produces two things, "Gu Yu Post" and "Gu Yu Card", which are popular under the mountain, the former is sold to the rich families of the secular dynasty, divided into two kinds of word posts and painting posts, and has the superficial effect of the fairy talisman, compared with the door god posted on the ordinary portal, it can shelter a family and dispel ghosts. As for the Gu Yu card, it makes people hang on their waists, and the rank is higher, and it is a must-have thing for all the qi practitioners who are not in the realm of the green warbler country in the surrounding area. The price is expensive, and the generals and ministers of the Green Ying Country are also a piece of people, and even at the time of the court meeting, the Green Ying Country can't help but hang on to this thing, and His Majesty the Emperor will often reward meritorious ministers with this thing.

Longtou ferry is a big ferry, originated from the territory of more than ten countries including the Great Seal Dynasty in the south, the number of qi practitioners is scarce, in addition to the territory of the Great Seal Country and the Golden Scale Palace, there is a small ferry port with a route not long, there is no Xianjia Ferry, as the easternmost hub of the North Ju Luzhou, the territory is not big in the country of the green warbler, up and down the court and the field, the monks on the mountain are very familiar, and the Wufu is rampant, the gods give way to the big seal more than a dozen countries, it is a world of different customs.

The two sold their horses to a local dart bureau in the county.

Walking on foot, Chen Ping'an handed over the walking stick to Sui Jingcheng.

Chen Ping'an's current dress is getting simpler and simpler, that is, the hat and green shirt, even the hairpin has been put away, no longer carrying the bamboo box, and the sword raiser and the sword fairy are put away together.

And Sui Jingcheng's words became less and less.

The two of them walked along a surging river into the sea, the river was several miles wide, but this was not the famous sea desecration, it was rumored that the water surface of the desecration was endless, and many people of the Green Oriole country had no chance to go to the other side in their lives.

The river breeze blows on the pedestrians, and the heat is completely gone.

Sui Jingcheng asked: "Senior, if that worldly master has not appeared, I hope that I can still become your disciple, first become a registered disciple, and one day the senior thinks that I am qualified, and then remove the word 'name'." As for that senior Cui, if you are willing to teach me the immortal method, if you are willing to guide me through the maze, I will not force it, anyway, I have been practicing alone for thirty years, and I don't mind waiting until my predecessor travels and returns home. ”

Chen Ping'an turned his head to look at the raging river, and said with a smile: "If you don't become his disciple, you will regret it, I can guarantee it." ”

Sui Jingcheng shook his head and said categorically: "No!"

Chen Ping'an said: "Let's assume that your preacher will never show up again, then the person I let you recognize Master is a real immortal, cultivation, heart, vision, no matter what, as long as you want to get it, he will be much better than me." ”

Of course, no matter how high that guy's cultivation is, he is still his own disciple and student.

Chen Ping'an didn't think anything about it before, more often than not, it was just a burden, but now looking back, it's quite ...... Cool?

Sui Jingcheng said in a resolute tone: "Is there such a person in the world?

Chen Ping'an said: "Believe it or not, hearing is false, seeing is believing, and when you meet him, you will understand." ”

Sui Jingcheng wore a fence on her head and held a walking stick, and she was skeptical, but she just felt a little depressed, even if the senior master surnamed Cui was really like a god and an immortal on the mountain, so what?

Sui Jingcheng knew how much time was spent in cultivation, so the life span of a cultivator on the mountain, or even hundreds of years, could really be compared to what a person from the rivers and lakes had seen and heard? Will there be so many stories? When he arrived on the mountain, he sat in retreat in the cave mansion, often for several years and ten years, went down the mountain to practice, and paid attention to not being stained with red dust, and walked through alone, and returned to the mountain without dragging mud and water. What's more, it is not a pure practice of qi practitioners, there will be no calamity on the way to the mountain, it is also possible to die, the passes are heavy, the bottleneck is difficult to break, and the mountain scenery that ordinary people can't appreciate, no matter how magnificent and wonderful, wait until you see it for decades and more than 100 years, will you really not get bored?

Sui Jingcheng was a little upset.

Chen Ping'an stopped, picked up a few stones, and threw them into the river.

Sui Jingcheng faced the river, the wind blew the tulle veneer, and the skirt fluttered to one side.

There are also many pedestrians on this riverside road, most of whom are qi practitioners who go to and from Longtoudu.

When a big man slapped his horse past, his eyes lit up, and he suddenly reined in his horse, slapped his chest vigorously, and laughed: "This lady, it's better to go with the uncle to eat and drink spicy food! ”

Sui Jingcheng turned a deaf ear.

The man jumped up and floated beside Sui Jingcheng, slapped down with one hand, and slapped Sui Jingcheng's roundness.

Without waiting for success, the next moment the strong man fell into the river.

It was for Chen Ping'an to hold down his head, and with a slight push, he fell heavily into the river.

The splash of this stone is a bit bigger.

The man slammed the water upstream, howled, and whistled, and the mount spread its hooves and continued to rush forward, without the slightest intention of finding the field.

Sui Jingcheng was nervous, "Is there another assassin temptation?"

Chen Ping'an shook his head and said: "If there is no thing, it is just that a prodigal man can't control it." ”

Sui Jingcheng said with a look of grievance: "Senior, this is still walking on the side of the road There are such disciples, if they board the immortal ferry, they are all cultivators, if they have bad intentions, and the seniors do not go the same way, what should I do?"

Chen Ping'an said: "I told you before, when I get to Longtoudu, I will arrange it." ”

Sui Jingcheng's eyes complained: "But on the way to practice, there are so many accidents and accidents. ”

Chen Ping'an didn't say much, just hurried.

Sui Jingcheng followed him and walked side by side, she said, "Senior, is this immortal ferryboat similar to our ordinary river boats?"

Chen Ping'an nodded and said: "Almost, when there is a wind in the sky, just like an ordinary boat, there will be some bumps and ups and downs, but it is not a big problem, even if there are some thunderstorms, lightning and thunder, the ferry will be safely passed, you can enjoy the scenery." The ferry boat travels in the sea of clouds, many scenery will be quite good, maybe there will be cranes to follow, passing by some immortal sects, and you can also see a lot of mountain protection arrays contained in the landscape vision. ”

Sui Jingcheng smiled: "Senior, don't worry, I will take care of myself." ”

Chen Ping'an said slowly: "The heart of the Great Dao is like a jade, carved and sharpened, every time you go under the knife, it will definitely be uncomfortable." But every time it is uncomfortable, as long as you get through it, it is called a successful cultivation. This is as important as the gradual cultivation of the Immortal Fa in the future, otherwise you will walk lame and easily fall down the mountain. The gravity of the world is not reasonable, the world's cultivation is not the mind, many, many people can also be comfortable, and the world to achieve a balance, can make people calmly, which is right and wrong, you yourself see more and think more, good people will have bad problems, evil people will also have good truths. Just remember one thing and ask more about your heart. This general truth was also learned from a person who once wanted to kill the sooner he was. ”

Sui Jingcheng nodded, "Write it down." ”

As Chen Ping'an walked, he stretched out his finger and pointed in the two directions of the road ahead, "The strangeness of the world lies in this, when you and I meet, the path of cultivation that I pointed out will deviate from the guidance of any person." For example, if you are the half preacher who gave you three opportunities in your early years, if this wandering master comes to preach for you himself......"

"In the end, it will become two Sui Jingcheng. The more choices, the more Sui Jingcheng will have. ”

Chen Ping'an stretched out his hand and pointed to one side and another, "At the moment, whether I'm a bystander, or you Sui Jingcheng yourself, in fact, no one knows who has two Sui Jingcheng, whose achievements will be higher and live longer." But do you know what the mind is, because it's something that can be known in every moment. ”

After Chen Ping'an walked more than ten steps along one of the routes, he stopped and pointed to the other road, "All the way, and then all the way, whether it is hardship or happiness, you always have firm steps, and then at a certain pass, especially after suffering a lot, you will definitely doubt yourself, you will look around, take a look at the other possibilities in your life that have been abandoned by yourself, and after thinking carefully and thinking slowly, the answer you came up at that time is the heart, and how to go next is the conscience." ”

"But let me tell you, at that moment, there will be a disability, and we will all subconsciously do one thing, that is, we want to use what we are best at to convince ourselves, and it is a very easy thing. Because as long as a person does not die and can survive to any position on the path of life, everyone will have merit. The difficulty is that the heart does not change, and the truth changes. ”

Sui Jingcheng timidly asked: "If a person's heart is evil, the more he insists on it, the worse the world will be?

Chen Ping'an nodded and said, "Of course." So I only say these things to myself and the people around me. Needless to say, there are some people, fists and swords, which are enough. ”

Sui Jingcheng was stunned and speechless.

After being silent for a long time, the two walked slowly, and Sui Jingcheng asked, "What should I do?"

Chen Ping'an's expression was indifferent, "That's a question that the Confucian Academy and the sages of the hundred schools should consider. ”

"There are so many truths in the three religions, such as heavy rain falling on the world, different seasons and different places, it may be a long drought and a rainstorm, but it may also be a flood. ”

"What we can do by ourselves is to be born to the sun at all times, in the place, and in the heart like flowers and trees. ”

On the road, a young man in a Confucian shirt who had just passed by the two of them stopped, turned around and smiled: "Sir, I think this is right, but it is not the most right. ”

Chen Ping'an stopped, turned his head and smiled: "What's the explanation?"

Sui Jingcheng was like a great enemy, and hurriedly stood behind Chen Ping'an.

The young man smiled and said: "In the alleys and alleys of the market, there are also all kinds of great truths, as long as ordinary people practice this principle in their lives, that is, people who will not bow their heads when they meet saints, gods, and true Buddhas." ”

Chen Ping'an asked: "If you smash it with a punch, your nose is blue and your face is swollen, is the reason still there? Is it useless? If the fist is big, the truth will be big, isn't it the most natural truth?"

The young man said with a smile: "The truth is not only eaten as food, nor is it just used to block the fist, it is naturally a fact that there are many sufferings in the world, but how can there be fewer peaceful people in the world? Why do so many people with small fists still live and work in peace and contentment? Why are there so many monks who pursue absolute freedom on the mountain, and the secular dynasty under the mountain still live in peace and stability?"

Chen Ping'an smiled and asked: "That fist is big, there is no need to talk about the truth, there are countless weak clouds following the shadow, how can we explain it? If we deny this reason, is it possible that it will always be in the hands of a few strong people?"

The young man shook his head, "That's just appearances. Sir obviously has the answer, why do you have such doubts?"

Chen Ping'an smiled.

The young man said: "In Xia Qi Jinglong, the pedigree of the Patriarch Hall of the Mountain Gate records that it is Liu Jinglong, and it involves family affairs, so I won't explain more with Mr. ”

Sui Jingcheng was confused.

Because she had never heard the name "Liu Jinglong" at all.

Chen Ping'an asked, "Then talk while walking?"

Qi Jinglong smiled and followed the two of them and continued along the river together.

Chen Ping'an said: "As soon as the appearance is said, it is still ...... Mr. Liu solved my doubts, even if I already have the answer in my heart, I hope that Mr. Liu's answer can be verified and matched with each other. ”

Qi Jinglong nodded, "It's not so much that the fist is reasonable, but that the order is different, the fist is big, it only belongs to the latter, and there is a key truth hidden in front of it." ”

Chen Ping'an narrowed his eyes, but did not speak.

Qi Jinglong continued to say in a positive tone: "What is really powerful is ...... Rules, rules. Know these and be able to take advantage of them. Is the emperor a strong man? But why are there things everywhere in the world where the state is broken and the mountains and rivers are destroyed? Why do some people die well and some people don't? Are the immortal masters of the immortal family's mansions, the sons of the world's wealthy lords, and the grandsons of the rich and noble? Once you stretch a vein, take a look at the founding emperors of all dynasties, the person who founded the sect, and the first person on the ancestral pedigree of the ancestral hall. How did you achieve a family business? Because none of these existences are really powerful, they just rise because of the rules and the general trend, and then they perish because they don't conform to the rules, like a flash in the pan and can't last long, like a cultivator who can't live forever. ”

Then Qi Jinglong shared his own opinions with the two outsiders who met for the first time.

First, really understand the rules, know how powerful and complex the rules are, the more the better, and the rules and regulations...... All sorts of omissions.

Second, follow the rules, or follow the rules.

For example, a foolish and loyal courtier, a military general who is ready to move.

Third, make your own rules, and of course, you can also break the rules.

Fourth, uphold the rules.

Peddlers and pawns, emperors and generals, mountain and wild cultivators, spectrum immortals, ghosts and spirits, no exception.

During this period, the truly powerful rules will shelter countless weak people. Of course, this rule is very complicated, and it is created by the mountains and mountains, temples and rivers, and markets and countryside.

Therefore, the emperor should come from the province with "water can carry the boat and also overturn the boat", the cultivators on the mountain should be afraid of the eventuality, the usurper should be worried about the improper position, the people of the rivers and lakes should tirelessly pursue fame and reputation, and the businessmen should pursue a golden signboard. Therefore, the Yuanying Monk wants to join the Dao, the Immortal Realm Monk asks for truth, and the Flying Ascension Realm Monk wants to let the Heaven and Earth Dao nod his head and acquiesce, so that the saints of the Three Sects sincerely do not feel that they are in conflict with their Three Sect Dao, but make a way for them to continue to ascend.

Sui Jingcheng was confused when he heard it, and he didn't dare to speak casually, so he clenched his hiking pole tightly, and his palms were full of sweat.

She just secretly glanced at the senior in the green shirt and hat beside her, and he still looked calm.

Chen Ping'an asked, "Regarding the purpose of the three religions, can Mr. Liu have any understanding?"

Qi Jinglong said: "There are some, and they are still very shallow. Buddhism has nothing to do, and pursues that everyone has no butcher's knife in their hands. Why is there a distinction between Hinayana and Mahayana? It is that the way of the world is not very good, and self-crossing is far from enough, and it is necessary to cross people. Daomen seeks purity, if everyone in the world can be pure, no desire and no desire, nature for thousands of generations, are a peaceful and prosperous world where everyone is worry-free, but it is a pity that the Taoist Taoism is too high, good is really good, but it is a pity that when the people's wisdom is enlightened but not complete, smart people do shrewd things, more and more, the Tao is empty. Buddhism is vast and boundless, almost covering the sea of suffering, but it is a pity that the monks who preach the Dharma may not be able to get the correct Dharma, and there are no outsiders in the eyes of Taoism, even if the chicken and dog ascend to heaven, how much can they take away? Only Confucianism is the most difficult, and the truth in the book is staggered, although it is generally like the shade of the big tree, which can be used for people to enjoy the shade, but if you really want to look up, it seems that there is a fight everywhere, and it is easy for people to fall into the clouds. ”

Chen Ping'an nodded and asked, "If I am not mistaken, Mr. Liu is not a Confucian disciple, so on the path of cultivation, is he pursuing 'all the laws in the world do not restrict me', or 'do what you want and do not exceed the rules'?"

Qi Jinglong said with a smile: "The former is difficult to find, and I myself am not particularly willing, so it is the latter." Mr. used to say that "the heart does not change, the truth changes", and he said that it is deep in my heart, people are changing, the world is changing, and even as we say in the old saying "immobile as a mountain", the mountains are actually changing. So sir's sentence is free to do as you like, not to exceed the rules. It has always been the realm of sages that Confucianism admires, but unfortunately, in the final analysis, it is still a limited freedom. On the other hand, many monks on the mountain, especially the closer they are to the top of the mountain, are tirelessly pursuing absolute freedom. It's not that I think these people are all bad people. There is no such simple way to put it. In fact, those who can truly achieve absolute freedom are truly strong. ”

Qi Jinglong said with emotion: "These strong people who enjoy absolute freedom, without exception, all have extremely tenacious minds and extremely strong cultivation, that is to say, their cultivation and cultivation are all extreme. ”

After Chen Ping'an got the answer, he asked a question that Sui Jingcheng couldn't continue to ask at that time, "If the world is a table and stool with loose rules and shaking, and the cultivators are no longer in the circle of tables and stools, what should we do?"

Qi Jinglong said without hesitation: "Help first, if you have the heart and strength, then you can be cautious, nail one or two nails, or squat aside, sewing and mending." ”

Qi Jinglong felt something, looked at the river rolling into the sea, and sighed: "Immortality must be a great thing, but is it really a very interesting thing? ”

It's not good people who can be reasonable.

In fact, the bad guys will, and will even be better at.

Cangyun Lake Hujun, in order to avoid the war and survive, controlled the sea of clouds and put on a posture of flooding the territory.

Chen Ping'an threw a rat bogey, so he could only stop.

This is the truth of Hujun. Chen Ping'an had to listen.

Sui Jingcheng is in the turmoil in Xingting, betting that Chen Ping'an will always follow you.

This is also Sui Jingcheng talking about her reasoning.

Chen Ping'an was listening.

In the pavilion, the old waiter Sui Xinyu and Hunjiang Jiao Yang Yuan, two people with completely different identities, both subconsciously said a sentence with a similar meaning.

Sui Xinyu said, "This is the boundary of Wuling Country", reminding those gangs of gangsters not to behave indiscriminately, which is the invisible protection of the pursuit of rules.

And this rule implies the dignity of the emperor and the court of Wuling Kingdom, and the righteousness of the rivers and lakes, especially the fist of Wang Blunt, the first person in Wuling Kingdom, is invisibly borrowed.

In the territory of Jinfeng Kingdom, before and after the town on the top of Zhengrongfeng, Chen Ping'an stood by twice and did not intervene, and a sword immortal silently looked at it in his eyes, which was equivalent to recognizing Chen Ping'an's truth, so Chen Ping'an survived twice.

In the previous Suijia City, a golden-bodied deity of the Fire God Ancestral Temple, knowing that it was meaningless, still chose to die generously in order to be able to help Chen Ping'an in the slightest. Because what Chen Ping'an did was that the Fire God Temple felt that it was reasonable and the rules.

But when he wants to leave Tongye Continent, he also needs to abide by the rules, or take advantage of the loopholes in the rules, before he can go to Aquarius.

Hu Xinfeng, a native of Wuling Kingdom, had a small fist, but before he died, he also told the rule that would not harm his family. Since Hu Xinfeng would say this, it is naturally this rule, which has sheltered countless old and young women and children on the rivers and lakes year after year. Why do every cutting-edge newcomers always bump and bump, even if they finally fight a bloody road, they will have to pay more? Because this is a kind of quiet reward for their fists by the rules. And these people who are lucky enough to reach the top of the rivers and lakes, sooner or later, will also become old people who automatically maintain the existing rules, and become old rivers and lakes who stick to the rules.

There is a riverside viewing pavilion in front of it.

Chen Ping'an stopped, clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Xie Liu will solve my doubts." ”

Qi Jinglong smiled and said, "Thank you Mr. Chen for agreeing with this." ”

Chen Ping'an shook his head, his eyes were clear, and he said sincerely: "Many things, I think about, after all, are not as thorough as Mr. Liu's. ”

Qi Jinglong waved his hand, "How to think and how to do it are still two different things." ”

Chen Ping'an hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively, "Can I invite you to drink?"

Qi Jinglong thought about it, shook his head helplessly, and said, "I never drink." ”

Chen Ping'an was a little embarrassed.

Sui Jingcheng felt that this scene was more interesting than the two of them chatting about those words that were high in the sea of clouds and low in the mud.

Chen Ping'an grabbed the man's arm, "It's okay, as long as you drink once, you will be unrestrained in the future." ”

Qi Jinglong was puzzled: "Forget it, it's really not good, Mr. Chen can drink, I can drink tea." ”

The three of them arrived at the pavilion where the revetment protruded above the river.

The two sides sat on the benches, the river wind gusted, Sui Jingcheng held a walking stick, stood outside the water pavilion, and did not enter.

Qi Jinglong explained: "I have a friend named Lu Zhuo, who is a disciple of the old man of the King of the Sweeping Villa, and sent me a letter saying that I might be able to talk to you, so I rushed to try my luck. ”

Chen Ping'an took off his hat and put it aside, and nodded, "How did you fight with that female crown in the mountain? I think the two of you should fall in love, even if you don't become friends, there shouldn't be a battle of life and death." ”

Qi Jinglong smiled: "It's just a misunderstanding." She met a group of evil cultivators under the mountain, and wanted to kill them cleanly, I felt that someone was not guilty to death, so I stopped it, and then there was such a battle to forge the mountain, which was actually a trivial matter, but no matter how small the trivial matter was, between me and her, I was unwilling to take half a step back, and there was inexplicably the prototype of the battle for the avenue, and there was nothing to do. ”

Qi Jinglong asked, "What, Mr. is friends with her?"

Chen Ping'an nodded, "I used to train in a blessed land. ”

Qi Jinglong joked: "Mr. won't stand up for his friends and beat me, right?"

Chen Ping'an smiled, shook his head and said, "Whoever said that a friend must have been doing the right thing all his life." ”

Even if it was a very respected predecessor of Song Yuyao, when he was in a dilapidated temple, he would not want to kill the fox ghost with a sword on the grounds of "killing a hundred mountain spirits and ghosts, wronging one at most, this is not a sword, is there a scourge?"

Chen Ping'an took action to block it at that time, and also blocked the sword of the old Song senior.

As for Gu Can of Shujian Lake, let alone talk about it.

There are a lot of truths that will make people feel at ease, but there will also be a lot of truths that will make people stumble.

Outside the water pavilion, there were signs of rain again, and the river was foggy.

Qi Jinglong said that he didn't drink alcohol and only drank tea, but it was just an excuse, because he never had anything close to him, so every time he went down the mountain, he was only accompanied by a natal flying sword.

Chen Ping'an saw that he didn't want to drink, so he felt that it was his own persuasion to drink, and the heat was not enough, so he didn't force others to make an exception.

Qi Jinglong looked at the river and said with a smile: "The drizzle is coming, and the clouds and mist are difficult to open. ”

Chen Ping'an drank wine and turned his head to look, "There will always be sunny days after the rain." ”

Qi Jinglong nodded, but raised his head, "But I'm afraid of changing the sky." ”

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "There are two small water pavilions, maybe there are three people in addition to the water pavilions, not to mention the big world, what are you afraid of." ”

Qi Jinglong was sitting upright, his hands were lightly on his knees, his eyes lit up at this moment, and he stretched out his hand, "Bring the wine!"

Chen Ping'an threw over a pot of wine, sat cross-legged, and said with a bright smile: "This pot of wine should be wished Mr. Liu to break through the realm and enter the five realms." ”

"Fighting with her in the mountains has been very rewarding, and there is indeed some hope. ”

Qi Jinglong also learned from the man to sit cross-legged, took a sip of wine, and frowned, "Sure enough, it's right not to drink." ”

Chen Ping'an said with a smile: "After you have drunk a few more pots of wine, you still don't like to drink, even if I lose." ”

Qi Jinglong shook his head, but took two more sips.

Chen Ping'an suddenly asked, "How old is Mr. Liu this year?"

Qi Jinglong said with a smile: "If you are in the market in the world, you are in your old age." ”

Sui Jingcheng outside the Water Pavilion was speechless, her predecessors had told her about the general realm of the immortals on the mountain, half of the Yupu realm at such a young age?!

Strange and not surprising.

Because the "reader" in the water pavilion is the land dragon of Beiju Luzhou, the sword cultivator Liu Jinglong.

An existence that once made Yang Ningzhen, the strongest martial artist in the world, almost desperate.

Chen Ping'an thought for a while, nodded and praised: "Awesome, amazing." ”

Qi Jinglong's face was strange, he actually poured a sip of wine, wiped his mouth and smiled: "You are a guy who is not yet thirty years old, what about scolding?"

Sui Jingcheng seemed to have been reduced to the fox woman who met by chance, as if he had been struck by lightning, turned his head to look at the water pavilion, and asked blankly: "Didn't the predecessor say that he was three hundred years old?"

Chen Ping'an blinked, "Did I say that?"

Sui Jingcheng's face tensed, and he said in a deep voice: "At least twice!"

Chen Ping'an took a sip of wine, "This is not very good." ”

Qi Jinglong also took a sip of wine, glanced at the green-shirted swordsman opposite, glanced at the woman outside, and said with a smile: "It's not very good." ”
