Fang Shuo went down the lonely mountain overnight, He Yan sent him, and came to the carriage at the foot of the mountain.

"Okay, the meaning is done, you go back quickly, it's important to learn "Shenwu Lianzhen" as soon as possible." Fang Shuo waved his hand and said goodbye.

"Oh well. Lao Fang, after you see my father and mother, don't say too much, if they ask, they will not be finished. Whatever is given to you, you don't have to bring it. It's all that old, they only remember what I loved to eat when I was a kid. Take the silver, buy the wine, and get some dishes for boiling the water building. We're back, let's have a good meal. He Yan whispered behind him.

Untied the reins and got into the carriage, Fang Shuo only shouted "go" and drove back. He Yan waved his hand and went up the lonely mountain alone.

It was night, and the moon hung high, as bright as day.

After walking for several miles, except for the jolting of the carriage and the sound of horses' hooves, all but the grass and insects crowed. Without He Yan asking questions on the side, Fang Shuo felt very unaccustomed.

"He Yan, this guy is a good thing, and having him next to him always makes people's ears unclean. But now, it's just me and you, the horses, but I feel too lonely. Horses, horses, you can't speak, I'm not bored along the way. Fang Shuo said in annoyance.

Walking by the horse itself, Fang Shuo leaned on the door of the car, closed his eyes and meditated.

He Yan returned to the mountain sullenly, and Li Laodao was humming a song at this time, drinking the last jar of wine.

Seeing that He Yan was back, Li Laodao greeted him and said, "Yan boy, why do you look like you have lost your soul." Shuo boy has gone down the mountain, such a happy thing, it should be celebrated. Come on, come on, drink and drink. ”

"Master, where do I have the heart to drink now? Speaking of which, this is the first time I've traveled far away, and I really don't know how worried my parents will be. He Yan said sadly.

Li Laodao persuaded him: "How can there be children who do not leave home, people can't stay under the wings of their parents all the time in this life." Don't think about it anymore, come, take a drink with me. ”

"Forget it, Master, I'd better go back to the house and stay for a while." He Yan said in a low voice.

Seeing He Yan's mentally ill look, Li Laodao hurriedly said: "I said that you kid, why don't you look like a young man." Go and bring "Shenwu Lianzhen", and I'll teach you how to practice. ”

"Now?" He Yan asked.

"What's the matter, go quickly!" Li Laodao shouted.

"Oh." As soon as he trotted, he entered the house and picked up "Shenwu Lianzhen" and ran, He Yan hurriedly stretched out his hand and handed it to Li Laodao.

Li Laodao held the wine jar in one hand and pointed at the jade slip with the other, and the entire seal text emerged.

"The Holy Venerable Sutra, all things have sex, the rain turns into life, and the yin and yang are the first spirit." Li Laodao read a few words softly according to the seal text, sighed twice, took a sip of wine, opened his mouth and scolded, "What kind of thing is this "Shenwu Lianzhen", how messy is it, who wrote it. ”

He Yan heard it clearly, almost spurted out a mouthful of blood, and said in a lost voice: "Master, you can't and can't understand it." ”

Li Laodao's face changed, he snorted, and said loudly: "Joke, I can't understand it?" It's just a small piece of alchemy, how could I not know what it was written. Lao Dao is just old, his memory is not good, and he has forgotten a little. If you have any other jade slips, you can bring them to me, and I will tell you them one by one. ”

"Master, you don't want to take advantage of Fang Shuo's absence to exchange those jade slips for wine and drink." He Yan asked tentatively.

"Fart, I'm the head of Xuanyue Mountain, and those things are just for Shuo Boy to keep for the time being. In front of you, would I do that kind of thing of stealing chickens and dogs, losing my identity? Yes? What a joke. Li Laodao was furious when he heard this.

"Then ......" He Yan hadn't finished speaking.

Li Laodao interrupted him and said, "What are you doing, why don't you hurry up and get those things." ”

Coincidentally, when Fang Shuo left, I don't know if he forgot that a table of jade slips was not taken away.

He Yan cleaned up while chanting: "Fang Shuo, Fang Shuo, how can you be smart all your life, but you are confused for a while." Why did you forget to take these things with you? If Master wants to go, don't ask me for it. ”

Holding a bunch of jade slips, He Yan ran to Li Laodao.

I thought it was too troublesome to look at them one by one, Li Laodao waved his sleeves, and more than a dozen gold-lacquered jade slips lined up in a row, hanging in the air, and then waved his sleeves, and all the jade slips showed the whole seal.

Pointing to the seal texts, Li Laodao said proudly: "Yan boy, you can take a good look, these are the secrets of this sect." This "Taishang Xuantian Dao Deed Spell Sutra", if you practice it, you can see through life and death, and gain insight into the heavens, and you will definitely be unpredictable. This is the "Mixed Yuan Ying Thunder Formula", if you cultivate to the extreme, you will be ranked as a general of the Nine Heavens Thunder Department, so there is no problem. There is also this "Water and Fire Ginseng Yuan Ning Dan True Technique Record", the alchemy technique is ingenious, and there are countless pills, let alone ......"

He Yan interrupted indifferently: "Master, I will cultivate a martial arts, what you said, I estimate that it should be the method of cultivation." Although I heard you say this, these cheats must be very powerful, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to understand the cheats that are too powerful, so you should teach me "Shenwu Lianzhen". ”

Angry, Li Laodao scolded: "Stupid, if you don't learn these mystical techniques, you just want to practice what "Shenwu Refining True", I really don't know what your brain thinks." ”

"It's not that I'm too late in cultivating, the advanced Dao method is obscure, it's too late to learn now, it's easier to refine the body. Fang Shuo also said that I should practice "Divine Martial Arts". He Yan squirmed.

"Nonsense, boy Shuo, he lied to you. What to learn late or not, that. No matter how advanced the Taoist true trick is, as long as someone teaches it, no one is a fool, and everyone can learn it. As the saying goes, the master leads you into the door, and the cultivation is personal, but it depends on whether you are willing to work hard or not. How well you learn compares to others, it's just whether the Tao is deep or shallow. Li Laodao said while drinking.

He Yan didn't believe it and asked, "If everyone really wants to be able to learn it, then why are there so few cultivators?" ”

"Silly boy, in the world, if everyone goes to practice, how many things will have to happen. Let's just say that in your neighborhood, from time to time, just for some trivial things, you can quarrel for a long time, and even worse, beat people. If it hurts someone, it's a small thing, but losing one's life is a big deal. If the cultivators fight, they will not be able to destroy the heavens and the earth. Li Laodao explained.

Li Laodao then sneered: "Besides, why should I tell the world in vain about my own immortal cultivation secrets. Even if I teach you "Shenwu Lianzhen", boy Shuo has to send me two jars of good wine. Don't be naïve, silly boy. ”

He Yan still didn't believe it, and asked again: "Then why did Fang Shuo say that the cultivation was too slow and asked me to learn martial arts?" ”

Li Laodao took a sip of wine and said nonsense: "Who knows, maybe he is reluctant to teach you." Shuo boy is very stingy, and it is normal to do such a thing, and it is not strange at all. ”

"Besides, you have a thin foundation, why don't you just have a few elixirs. If the boy doesn't give it to you, he must be reluctant. Alchemy is a Taoist specialty, just refine it and come out of it, even if mortals eat it, they can immediately ascend to immortals. Li Laodao continued.

Although He Yan felt that something was wrong, he had no idea for a while, and he didn't know whether to believe Li Laodao's words or Fang Shuo's personality.

Li Laodao said again: "Boy, when you haven't embarked on the path of cultivation, you are just an ordinary man, and Shuo Boy can still treat you as a friend." But once you embark on the path of cultivation and the avenues are competing, it is impossible for him to still regard you as a friend and pour out his heart and lungs for you. The old way is already a dead wood, there is no need to lie to you again, you should stand in the same team with me and draw a line with Fang Shuo. ”

He Yan thought for a moment and said sincerely: "Master, then I will listen to you." This Fang Shuo must be lying to me. ”

"Hey, that's right, when you turn around and ask him for that Qiankun bag, just say that you can't trust him, you want to see what good things are still hidden, and then you will quietly bring it to me. I'll look for and see if there is any elixir that he didn't give you and didn't want you to know. If there is, it is ironclad evidence that Shuo Boy lied to you. Li Laodao drank wine and nodded.

"After cultivating the Tao, when can I go to Surabaya to find Miss Mei?" He Yan asked again.

"The Surabaya Mei family? Oops, that's not easy, it's early. What's the matter, this Miss Mei is your sweetheart? Li Laodao asked with a smile while drinking.

He Yan scratched his head and said shyly: "It's strange to say, I just went to practice for Miss Mei." Does it take a month or two? ”

"I don't think it's possible without a decade or two of hard work." Li Lao Dao cut the railway.

"It's okay, Master, what about you, refining a furnace of elixir, it's not a matter of getting your hands dirty." He Yan complimented.

drank a lot of wine, He Yan said what was on his mind again, Li Laodao let down his guard this time, and then listened to He Yan pat himself on the back, Li Laodao didn't think about it, took advantage of the wine, blurted out: "Do you think it's a copy of beans, you must gather all the right time, place and people, and all three, all of which are indispensable." Alchemy is the art of stealing the creation of heaven and earth, it is mysterious, where is it so easy, how much effort did I have to refine it. If it were someone else, no matter how many furnaces there were, there would be no one. It's a pity that it's long gone, if there were one or two left, others would have already come to the door to beg me, wouldn't there be endless immortal wine, and you still need to look at your kid's face. ”

"Okay, you're lying to me." He Yan said angrily.

Thinking of just now, he was proud for a while, and there was a mistake in showing off, Li Laodao hurriedly said: "Don't worry, although there is no pill, I can still refine it, and I can refine it tomorrow." ”

"You're really full of holes now. Master, after talking for a long time, it turns out that you still want to deceive those treasures so that you can exchange them for wine and drink. I almost got caught up in you. He Yan exposed Li Laodao's tricks.

"Good boy, you just cheated on me." Li Laodao suddenly realized and repented, "It's really a mistake to drink too much, and a lot to make a mistake."

"Seeing that I am not deeply involved in the world, and it is my first time cultivating, I still don't understand some things, so I will provoke the relationship between me and Lao Fang. You really have the demeanor of a grandmaster, and you have a thousand means. He Yan said sarcastically.

"Hehe, good apprentice, your skills are not small. However, you also need to remember that when people are proud, they are at their most vulnerable. You don't think it happened. Okay? Li Laodao asked cheekily.

"Okay, then you still can't teach me "Shenwu Refining Truth". If you don't teach, then I can't control my mouth. You can't drink the wine sent by Fang Shuo. He Yan threatened.

"Teach and teach, and I'll teach." Li Laodao hurriedly said.
