In the rainy season, traveling in a foreign land is an extremely boring thing, not to mention that there is a knife on the neck, which makes the old waiter Sui Xinyu more worried, after a few post stations, facing a poem on the wall, it makes this writer empathize, several times borrowed wine to drown his sorrows, and the young man is more and more worried, but the woman is always calm.

The four horsemen only dare to choose the official road to go to the capital of Wuling Kingdom, this day in the twilight, the rainstorm has just stopped, even in the previous rainstorm fast horses, still can not arrive at the post station before nightfall, which makes the old waiter who has just taken off his coat and hat is miserable, looking around, always feel that the danger is lurking, if it is not for the old man is still hard-boned, after resigning and returning to his hometown, he often travels with old friends, otherwise he would have fallen ill a long time ago, and he could not withstand the pain of this bumpy escape.

On the official road, a half-baked face appeared in the secret place next to the walk, it was the Jianghu people in the small pavilion on the ancient tea horse road, a young man with a meaty face, and the four horsemen of the Sui family were only more than 30 steps away, the man was holding a long knife, and without saying a word, he began to run towards them.

Sui Xinyu shouted loudly: "Sword Immortal help!"

But the heavens and the earth were silent.

Then beside the old waiter, who suddenly stopped his horse, there was a sound of hurried horses' hooves, and the woman stood out.

The sword flashed, and a rider and the man with the knife passed by.

The woman seemed to have been hit by a knife in the waist, and her delicate body bent out of an arc, falling backwards from the horse and falling to the ground, vomiting blood.

The man kept rushing forward, slowing down slowly, staggering a few steps, and falling to the ground.

The face, neck and heart were each pierced into a golden hairpin, but the three golden hairpins that were like the hidden weapons of the martial arts of the rivers and lakes and a bit like the flying sword of the immortals, if the number was not enough, it was actually very dangerous, and it might not be able to kill the martial artist in an instant, the golden hairpin on the face was just penetrating the cheeks, looking at the blurred blood, and the golden hairpin at the mouth of the heart was also offset by an inch, and it failed to accurately pierce the heart, only the golden hairpin on the neck was the real fatal injury.

The woman staggered to her feet and touched her abdomen, for some reason, when the swordsman took out the knife, he converted the blade into the back of the knife, it should be to hurt people and not to kill, Sui Jingcheng tried his best to breathe smoothly, and faintly heard a slight thud in the distance.

Sui Jingcheng turned his head and shouted, "Be careful! Get off your horse and dodge!"

Someone pulled a big bow and shot hard, and the arrow quickly broke through the air, and the whistling sound was moving.

Sui Jingcheng oozed blood from the corners of his mouth, still endured the severe pain in his waist, held his breath and concentrated, silently recited the formula, according to the secret record atlas contained in the booklet given by the master that year, pinched the recipe with one hand, twisted the waist, and the cuffs swirled, three golden hairpins were pulled out from the corpse of the official road, facing the arrow, the golden hairpin castrated very quickly, even if it was later than the sound of the bowstring, it was still hit by the golden hairpin on the arrow, splashing three sparks, but the arrow still did not change the trajectory, and shot at the head of the old waiter sitting on horseback.

Sui Jingcheng's face was full of despair, even if he secretly gave his father the plain gauze bamboo robe to wear, but if the arrow hit the head, if you are a legendary fairy robe, how can you save it?

Sui Jingcheng's eyes widened, and tears poured out of his eyes at once.

At the moment of life and death, it can be seen that sincerity.

Even if Sui Jingcheng does not agree with his father's official behavior, the father-daughter relationship cannot be faked.

Just like the slender plain gauze bamboo coat like a cicada's wings, part of the reason why Sui Xinyu wore it was because Sui Jingcheng guessed that he was not in danger of his life for the time being, but great disaster was coming, and not all children in the world could do it if he was willing to gamble like Sui Jingcheng, especially a smart woman like Sui Jingcheng who was determined to practice immortality.

The next moment.

A white suit with a negative sword appeared out of thin air, just standing on top of the arrow, hovering it near Sui Xinyu and riding alone, floating gently, and the arrow under his feet fell to the ground and turned into powder.

Another arrow whistled, this time at a very fast speed, blasting the wind and thunder, and before the arrow broke through the air, there was the sound of the bowstring snapping.

But the arrow was grabbed by the young man in white and shattered in his hand.

The white-clothed sword immortal looked at where the arrow came from and said with a smile: "Uncle Xiao, aren't you a swordsman, why did you change your bow?"

The white-clothed sword fairy swept away.

Sui Jingcheng shouted: "Be careful about the plan to divert the tiger from the mountain......"

It's just that the white-clothed sword immortal who changed his outfit turned a deaf ear, just alone, chased and killed, and a white rainbow rose from the ground, making others dizzy and stunned.

Sui Jingcheng immediately turned over and got on his horse, rode his horse to go, waved his hand, put away the three golden hairpins that fell on the road into his sleeves, and shouted to the three of them: "Hurry up!"

The Sui family rode away at a gallop.

After the horse galloped for several miles, the outline of the post station was still missing, and the old waiter only felt that his bones were scattered by the horses, and the old tears were all over the place.

Sui Jingcheng raised his arm high and suddenly stopped his horse.

The other three horsemen also hurried to tighten the reins of their horses.

On the road, Cao Fu stretched out a hand to the woman with a smile, "Jing Cheng, go up the mountain with me to practice, I can guarantee that as long as you enter the mountain with me, the future generations of the Sui family will have a splash of wealth and wealth waiting for them." ”

Sui Xinyu's face changed.

Sui Jingcheng sneered: "If that's the case, why did you Cao Fu go to such great lengths? If I didn't guess wrong, the disciple of Yang Yuan of Hunjiang Jiao accidentally said that he had accidentally slipped his mouth, mentioning the ten great masters on the new list, which has been freshly released, and our Wuling King's blunt predecessors seem to be at the bottom? If I guessed correctly, your master, who is a land immortal, is bound to win it to me Sui Jingcheng, it is true, but unfortunately you may not be able to protect me Sui Jingcheng, let alone the Sui family, so you can only secretly plot and take me to your Cao Fu's cultivation place first. ”

Cao Fu withdrew his hand and slowly walked forward, "Jing Cheng, you have always been so smart, amazing, worthy of being the woman with a deep fate, marry me as a Taoist couple, you and I will travel together on the mountain, and enjoy the wind, wouldn't it be happy? If there is really guilt, even if there are some disasters, as long as the Sui family still has children to survive, it will be their blessing, and when you and I join hands to become an earth immortal, the Sui family can still easily rise in Wuling Kingdom. ”

Sui Xinyu heard the meaning of Cao Fu's words, and it wasn't until this moment that he suddenly woke up, it turned out that the other party only cared about Sui Jingcheng's life and death, and as soon as his daughter left, the Sui family seemed to be about to be destroyed?

Sui Xinyu scolded: "Cao Fu, I have always treated you well, why do you harm my Sui family so much?!"

Cao Fu smiled and said: "Uncle Sui treats me well, he chose me as a son-in-law with excellent vision back then, so if Uncle Sui doesn't have the opportunity to hold it with his own hands, I will double the repayment to the descendants of the Sui family when I practice with Jing Cheng in the future." ”

Sui Xinyu was so angry that he reached out to support his forehead.

Cao Fu glanced at it from afar, "I won't talk politely to you, Jing Cheng, I'll give you one last chance, if I leave obediently with me, I won't kill the other three." If you are reluctant, if I have to knock you out, then you can't see the corpses of the other three, and in the future, such as the mothers and relatives of the secular dynasty, they can be omitted together, only on my mountain, during the Qingming Festival, you and I are just sacrificed remotely. ”

Sui Jingcheng picked up the fence and threw it away, and asked, "You and I rode to the Immortal Mountain, aren't you afraid that the sword immortal will kill Uncle Xiao and turn back to find trouble for you?"

Cao Fu twisted out a few talismans, and said confidently: "You are now half a cultivator, posting this talisman, you and I can barely travel far away against the wind." ”

Sui Jingcheng turned over and dismounted, "I promise you." ”

Cao Fu stretched out his hand, "That's right." When you have seen the real Immortal Mountain Immortal Master Immortal Method, you will understand how wise today's choice is. ”

The two were only a dozen steps apart.

Suddenly, three golden hairpins swept out of Sui Jingcheng's side of the lightning, but they were rolled up by Cao Fu's big sleeves and held in the palm of his hand, even if he just held the glittering golden hairpin lightly in his hand, the palm of his hand was hot, the skin exploded, and the flesh and blood were blurred in an instant, Cao Fu frowned, twisted out a golden material talisman given by the master before leaving, silently recited the formula, and wrapped the three golden hairpins in it, which was without the vision of the flow of treasure light, and carefully put it into the sleeve, Cao Fu smiled: " Jing Cheng, don't worry, I won't be angry with you, your unruly temperament makes me the most tempted. ”

Cao Fu's gaze bypassed Sui Jingcheng, "It's just that you regret it first, don't blame your husband for breaking the contract later." ”

Cao Fu was stunned for a moment, and said with a helpless smile: "What, there is someone behind me, Jing Cheng, do you know that practicing on the mountain, how to know the fate and homeopathy, is a knowledge that must be understood." ”

It's just that Sui Jingcheng's expression is a little strange.

Cao Fu turned his head suddenly, empty.

Sui Jingcheng gritted his teeth, and all the aura that had not accumulated much qi poured to his wrist, and in the palm of one hand, the white light in the veins was shining, and he swept forward in one step, and quickly slapped towards Cao Fu

Head.

But Cao Fu turned around, leaned out with his backhand, grabbed Sui Jingcheng's white wrist that was full of aura and veins in his palm, grabbed it in front of him, and then hit Sui Jingcheng's forehead with an elbow, Cao Fu dragged it down, Sui Jingcheng fell to the ground, and Cao Fu stepped on that arm, leaned over and smiled: "Do you know that a real cultivator like me, you only need to look at your long autumn eyes a little, and you can clearly see whether there is anyone behind me?" ”

Cao Fu twisted his toes, Sui Jingcheng snorted, Cao Fu poked the woman's forehead with two fingers, the latter was like a fixation technique, Cao Fu smiled and said: "The matter has come to this, I might as well tell you the truth, in the Great Seal Dynasty, you will be selected as one of the four beauties." After the Sui family's jade people', you only have three ways to go, either follow your father to the capital of the Great Seal, and then be elected as the crown princess, or be intercepted by the emperor's secret envoy of a certain country in the north halfway, to be the queen mother of a small border country, or I took you to the border of the Qingci country, and my master first refined you into a living furnace, taught you a secret technique, and then gave you a real immortal, that is the master of the Golden Scale Palace, but don't be afraid, for you, this is a great thing, I am fortunate to double cultivate with a Yuanying immortal, you are on the road of cultivation, and the realm will only be a thousand miles a day。 Uncle Xiao didn't know anything about this at night, so the one who happened to meet the sword cultivator, where was the Golden Scale Palace Jindan monk, bluffing, I didn't bother to expose him, just let Uncle Xiao sell more strength at night. Uncle Xiao is dead at night, and this transaction is a big profit for me and my master. ”

Cao Fu said with emotion: "Jing Cheng, you and I really have no chance, you used copper coins to calculate hexagrams, but you were actually right." ”

Cao Fu helped Sui Jingcheng up, twisted out two talismans, bent down and stuck them on her two ankles, and looked at the Sui family's three horses, "No matter what, it's a death." ”

At this moment, a familiar voice sounded beside Cao Fu, "That's all, there are no more secrets to tell?" In this way, it is the old ancestor of the Golden Scale Palace who wants Sui Jingcheng, and your master divides up Sui Jingcheng's Dao edge artifacts, what about you, you have worked so hard for such a trip, the organs are exhausted, and you are busy working in vain?"

Cao Fu smiled bitterly and straightened up, turned his head to look, a man in a hat and green shirt was standing beside him, Cao Fu asked, "Didn't you go to chase Uncle Xiao Ye?"

The man said, "Yin God is far away, you claim to be a true cultivator, and you haven't seen this?"

Cao Fu said helplessly: "Sword cultivation seems to be very rare to see the Yin God traveling far away. ”

The man nodded, "So if the rivers and lakes go less, the bad things must be done small." ”

Cao Fu still has to speak.

He had fallen to the ground on his back and fainted.

Chen Ping'an waved his hand to disperse the aura prohibition that Cao Fu had imposed on Sui Jingcheng's forehead.

With another wave of his sleeve, the corpse on the road was swept off the avenue and fell into the grass in the distance.

In the distance, a white rainbow was only two or three feet from the ground, and the sword came, holding a dead head, floating on the road, overlapping with the green shirt, rippling and turning into a person.

It's just that the green-shirted guest has an extra head in his hand.

Chen Ping'an said to Sui Jingcheng: "You are so smart, do you decide how to go in the future?"

Sui Jingcheng knelt on the ground and began to kowtow, "If I am in Wuling Kingdom, the Sui family will definitely be destroyed, and I will have a glimmer of life if I am not there." I beg the Immortal Master to accept him as my apprentice!"

Chen Ping'an glanced at the power that had been thrown to the ground by Sui Jingcheng before

Fence, said with a smile: "If you had practiced earlier, you would have been able to become an immortal master with an orderly lineage, and you would definitely have achieved a lot of success now." ”

————

The night was dark, on the top of a mountain, Cao Fu had a splitting headache, and after slowly opening his eyes, he found himself sitting cross-legged, still holding something.

Looking down, Cao Fu's heart was like ashes.

Raising his head, beside the campfire, the young scholar sat cross-legged with the hiking stick on his leg and a bamboo box behind him.

Sui Jingcheng, who had no fence to cover her beautiful face, sat near the person, clasped her knees with her hands, curled up, she was stunned.

Cao Fu held the head of Uncle Xiao and didn't dare to move.

Chen Ping'an asked, "Tell me in detail about your master and the Golden Scale Palace." ”

Cao Fu did not hesitate, poured beans into the bamboo tube, and told all the inside stories and truths he knew.

He didn't want to be with Uncle Xiao on Huangquan Road at night.

Master said that Xiao Shuye has exhausted his potential, but he Cao Fu is different, he has the qualification of Jindan.

Chen Ping'an asked again: "Let's talk about your family affairs and the rivers and lakes of Wuling Country back then." ”

Cao Fu still knows everything, and he has nothing to say.

Sui Jingcheng had already come back to his senses when Cao Fu first opened his mouth, and listened silently.

After Cao Fu finished speaking, the man said: "You can take this head and leave, and after secretly escorting the old squire back to his hometown, you can return to the master to make an errand." ”

Sui Jingcheng wanted to speak and stopped.

The man didn't look at her, but said casually: "If you want to kill Cao Fu, try it yourself." ”

Cao Fu's face changed slightly.

Cao Fu really didn't die in the end, but just left the top of the mountain with the head.

After going down the mountain, I only felt like a different world, but the fate was uncertain, and the future was unpredictable.

Around the campfire.

Sui Jingcheng suddenly said, "Thank you, senior." ”

Killing a Cao Fu is too easy and simple, but for the Sui family, it may not be a good thing.

Xiao Shuye and Cao Fu would have died tonight.

There will be a lot of deaths, maybe Yang Yuan of the Hunjiang River, Hu Xinfeng, the leader of the Hengdu Gang, and then the Sui family.

And Cao Fu was casually let go, and he was allowed to talk to the people behind the scenes, which in itself was a demonstration of the blue-shirted sword immortal to Master Cao Fu and the Golden Scale Palace.

Chen Ping'an fiddled with the bonfire, "Talking to smart people is to save worry and effort." ”

Then Sui Jingcheng saw that the man took out the chessboard jar from the bamboo box, and then did not play chess like in the pavilion, but began to control a fairy flying sword, and began to carve two chess pieces, looking at his carving technique, Sui Jingcheng saw that it was the name of Master Cao Fu and the patriarch of the Golden Scale Palace and the name of the mountain, which were engraved on the front and back respectively, and then there were several chess pieces, all of which were important monks of the two immortal families, and they were placed on the chessboard one by one.

Sui Jingcheng smiled and said, "Seniors have been looking at us since we met in Xingting, right?"

Chen Ping'an nodded and said, "Your gambling luck is very good, I envy it." ”

Sui Jingcheng looked embarrassed.

His self-righteous scheming, it seems that in the eyes of this person, it is tantamount to a childish bamboo horse and a flying paper kite, which is very ridiculous.

Chen Ping'an put the two chess pieces that were connected with each other one by one on the edge of the chessboard.

Chen Ping'an clasped his hands in his sleeves, stared at the chess pieces, and said slowly: "In the Xingting, the young Sui grammar made a joke with me. Actually, it doesn't matter whether it's right or wrong, but you ask him to apologize, and the old waiter says something that I think makes perfect sense. Then Sui Wenfa sincerely apologized. ”

Chen Ping'an raised his head and looked at Sui Jingcheng, "I think this is a kind of family style that a scholarly family should have, which is very good." Even if your father's thoughts and behaviors are actually worthy of the word 'mellow', one thing is the same thing, the order is different, the size is different, and the two do not conflict. So before Yang Yuan's group blocked the way between the two of us, I deliberately complained about the muddy shoes, and retreated to the pavilion. Because I think that when a scholar walks into the rivers and lakes, he belongs to reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles, so he should not be hindered by the wind and rain of the rivers and lakes. ”

Sui Jingcheng nodded, and asked curiously: "At that time, the seniors noticed the arrival of Cao Fu and Xiao Shuye, and they already knew that this was a bureau?"

Chen Ping'an looked at the night, "I already knew." ”

Sui Jingcheng's smile is like a flower, and he is moving.

She used to read those monsters and the romance of the rivers and lakes, and never admired and admired the kind of immortal who was like a rainbow with a sword, or killed a Kou with a punch. These two kinds of people and two things, of course, are good, and they also make people like her feel very happy, reading to the point where she is happy, she should drink tea and wine, but it is still not enough, and there is still a gap between her mind and the worldly masters who practice the immortal law and have achieved great things.

She thinks that the real cultivators are the ones who have insight into people's hearts everywhere, have no last resort, and their scheming is consistent with the Tao, and they are the ones who are as high as the Tao, and they are the real people who have attained the Tao, and the land immortals who really sit high in the sea of clouds, they are high up and ignore the world, but they don't mind walking under the mountain, playing in the world, but they are still willing to punish evil and promote good.

Chen Ping'an said slowly: "The wisdom and stupidity of the world are a double-edged sword. As long as the sword is unsheathed, there will be good and bad things in this world. So I'm going to take another look, look closely, look slowly. You'd better remember all my words tonight, so that you can tell someone in detail in the future. As for how much you can listen to and grasp and use for your own use, I don't care. I told you before that I would not accept you as a disciple, and your attitude towards the world is too similar to mine, and I don't think I can teach you the right thing. As for teaching you any immortal techniques, forget it, if you can leave Beiju Luzhou alive and go to Aquarius Continent, you will have your own fate waiting for you to catch it at that time. ”

Sui Jingcheng changed his sitting posture and knelt beside the bonfire, "The teachings of the predecessors, every word, Jingcheng will keep in mind." It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish, Jing Cheng still knows this truth. The fact that my predecessors taught me the root of the Great Dao was more important than any immortal technique. ”

Chen Ping'an stretched out his hand from his sleeve and pointed to the chessboard, "In my opinion, there may not be an absolute truth that applies everywhere, but there are absolute facts and truths. When you first see the truth of the human heart that is hidden behind the words and deeds, and know some of the context and sequence, it will be complicated and things will become simpler. The truth is inevitably inflated, and you and I will review two games of chess. ”

Chen Ping'an twisted up a chess piece, "Between life and death, there will be great evil in human nature, seeking survival in death, unscrupulous means, understandable, as for whether to accept it or not, it depends on the person." ”

He raised the chess piece and landed lightly on the chessboard, "Hengdu helped Hu Xinfeng, and it was at that moment that he chose evil." So he walked the rivers and lakes, conceited life and death, on my side, it may not be right, but on the chessboard at that time, he was desperate to survive and succeeded. Because he is different from you Sui Jingcheng, from beginning to end, he never guessed that I was also a cultivator, and he dared to secretly observe the situation. ”

Sui Jingcheng asked, "If he swears to protect the four members of my Sui family to the death, what will the seniors do?"

Chen Ping'an said slowly: "Then Wuling Kingdom should continue to have such a real hero, continue to walk the rivers and lakes, after the turmoil, if such a hero is still willing to invite me to drink, I will feel very honored." ”

Chen Ping'an pointed to the two chess pieces that had not yet entered the game, "Just because he Cao Fu is an immortal master on the mountain, or is Xiao Shuye a martial artist in the Golden Body Realm? Is it true that the rivers and lakes under the mountain are full of ponds? As soon as you step down, you can see the bottom? Not to mention them, I am so careful, I will still be inexplicably hit by someone to swallow the sword, I will be fought for the flying sword in the Bone Beach, and I will almost die on the Jinmeng Lake and the Zhengrong Peak." Therefore, the rivers and lakes are sinister, no matter good or bad, good or evil, since you are careful to avoid disasters, you may die, not to mention that you are begging for death, and if you die, Uncle Xiao can only blame his neck for not being hard enough to withstand the sword of others. ”

Chen Ping'an twisted the chess piece with two fingers, "But Hu Xinfeng didn't choose to be chivalrous, but his evil thoughts burst out, this is human nature, I won't kill him because of this, but by his life and death, he finally fought for a glimmer of life." So I said, aside from me, Hu Xinfeng made a correct choice at that moment, as for the things on the Tea Horse Ancient Road behind, there is no need to talk about it, it is another game of chess, and it has nothing to do with you. ”

Chen Ping'an put the four chess pieces of the four members of the Sui family on the chessboard, "I have long known that you are in a chess game, Cao Fu is a chess player, and it turned out later that he is also one of the chess pieces, and he is the real master of the chess game between the master and the Golden Scale Palace." Let's not talk about the latter, let's just say that at that time, at that time, there was a problem in front of me, and the crux of the problem was that I didn't know what Cao Fu's original intention was in setting this trap, how he was a person, and where his bottom line of good and evil was. What grievances and grudges does he have with the Sui family, after all, the Sui family is a scholarly family, but it may not have made a big mistake, Cao Fu's move was ill-intentioned, sneaky, and even attracted people like Yang Yuan of Hunjiang Jiao to enter the game, and his actions are naturally not upright and bright, but it may not be a good thing, since he is not killing people as soon as he shows up, take a step back and say, how can I be sure at that time that for you Sui Jingcheng and the Sui family, it is not a good thing that turns around and everyone is happy?"

Sui Jingcheng nodded slightly.

Chen Ping'an leaned forward and stretched out his finger against the chess piece engraved with Sui Xinyu's name, "The first one to disappoint me is not Hu Xinfeng, it's your father." ”

Sui Jingcheng was puzzled: "Why is this? I don't dare to save people when I protect myself in a big disaster, if I am an ordinary hero of the rivers and lakes, I feel disappointed, I am not surprised, but with the heart of my predecessors, I ......."

Sui Jingcheng didn't continue, for fear of adding to the snake.

Chen Ping'an put away his fingers and said with a smile: "The son of a daughter can't sit down, and the gentleman doesn't stand under the dangerous wall, these are naturally reasonable." Sui Xinyu was in the pavilion, not saying a word, it was an old man's serious behavior, and it was not wrong. But let me ask you, who is your father Sui Xinyu?"

Sui Jingcheng didn't rush to answer, her father, the head of the Sui family, the first person in the chess world of Wuling Kingdom, and the former squire of the Ministry of Industry of the First Kingdom, Sui Jingcheng had a flash of inspiration, thinking of the outfit of the senior in front of her, she sighed and said: "She is a great literati of Wuling Kingdom who is full of poetry and books, and he understands many sages and sages...... Scholar. ”

Chen Ping'an said: "A more important fact is that Hu Xinfeng didn't tell you the identity of the other party at that time, and there was a famous Hunjiang Jiao Yang Yuan hidden inside.

So the fact that at the moment for Sui Xinyu is that in Xingting, it is not a situation of life and death, but a thorny situation with some troubles.

Sui Jingcheng said with a smile: "Naturally, it is useful. At the time, I thought it was just a farce. So for my seniors, I was actually ...... It is tempting. So I deliberately didn't open my mouth to borrow money. ”

Chen Ping'an said: "Because Hu Xinfeng was afraid of provoking fire, he was unwilling to reveal Yang Yuan's identity, and he behaved very calmly. The reminder to you is also just right. This is the old experience that the old rivers and lakes should have. It was bought with his life. So I took one look at the old squire. The old waiter was relieved to see that I didn't open my mouth to borrow money. It's nothing, it's still human. However, Sui Xinyu is a scholar, and he is also a scholar who once held a high position and served the country and the people with his sage and knowledge......"

Speaking of this, Chen Ping'an stretched out his two thumbs and index fingers, bent them slightly, but did not close them, like twisting a chess piece, "The sage once said that with or without compassion, you can distinguish between people and plants, trees and animals. Do you think Sui Xinyu, did your father have compassion at that time, a little, a little? You are his daughter, as long as it is not dark under the lamp, you should be more familiar with his temperament than me. ”

Sui Jingcheng shook his head and said with a wry smile: "No." ”

Sui Jingcheng looked sad, as if he was talking to himself, "There really isn't." ”

"Therefore, it is always a double-edged sword for a person to walk slowly on the road, to see more people and things, and that is it. ”

The man looked as usual, as if he was commonplace, raised his head, looked into the distance, and said softly: "Between life and death, I have always believed that outside of survival, the evil of mustard seeds is suddenly as big as a mountain, which is understandable. But some people, maybe not too many, but there will definitely be some people, at those moments when they know that they will die, there will also be a little bit of light, suddenly ignited. ”

"Over there, and all the way after, I'm watching, I'm waiting. ”

"As long as I find a lamp, even if it is a little bit of light, it will be extinguished by someone. ”

"But this kind of brilliance of human nature, in my opinion, even if there is only one light, can compete with the sun and the moon. ”

Chen Ping'an retracted his gaze, "The first time, if Hu Xinfeng is desperate, for the sake of everything."

The so-called righteousness of the rivers and lakes did not hesitate to fight to the death and did something that seemed very stupid. I don't have to watch the game, I'll make a move. The second time, if your father still has a little compassion even if he stands by and watches, instead of the heart of the mind that he will scold loudly as soon as I open my mouth, I will no longer watch chess, but choose to shoot. ”

Chen Ping'an smiled, "On the contrary, it was Hu Xinfeng who surprised me a little, and finally after I separated from you, I found Hu Xinfeng, and I saw it in him." One time was when he was dying and begged me not to implicate innocent family members. Once I asked him if the four of you deserve to die, and he said that Sui Xinyu was actually a good official and a friend. The last time, it was he who naturally talked about his chivalrous deeds back then, which is a very interesting statement. ”

Sui Jingcheng said softly: "But no matter what, the seniors have been watching, why are the seniors so disappointed, but they still secretly protect us?"

"Taoism says that there is no way for good and evil, but people call themselves, and Buddhism says that yesterday's cause and today's effect are all similar truths. But there are many half-baked mountain immortals in the world, who are actually not true cultivators, and with them, the already difficult truth is becoming more and more difficult to explain. ”

Chen Ping'an said: "But you are weak in that Xingting dilemma. I happened to meet it, I thought about it carefully, and I had the power to protect myself, so I didn't leave. But during this period, in addition to life and death, you have to endure any hardships, such as running for your life in the rain all the way, worrying all the way, and you were slammed on the back of a horse with a knife, all of which you brought on yourself, and this world will return it to you. This isn't a bad thing in the long run. After all, you are still alive, and there are more weak people, who have more reason to live than you, but they say that they are dead. ”

The weak demand that the strong do more, Chen Ping'an feels that it is nothing, it should be. Even if there are many weak people who are protected by the strong, without the slightest gratitude, Chen Ping'an now feels that it doesn't matter.

With the battle of the city and the sea of clouds, Chen Ping'an never regretted it.

Because in which alley in Suijia City, there may be a Chen Ping'an and a Liu Xianyang, who are growing up silently.

If it is said that the scourge is left for thousands of years, the way of the world is like this, and the human heart is like this, and it is difficult to change it, then the good people should be smarter and live longer, instead of suffering from the good of the heart, but become the scourge, evil and evil are born together, the cycle is endless, the mountains and the earth are cracked, and sooner or later, everyone will have to return to the ruthless heaven and earth avenue.

Sui Jingcheng thought silently, threw a few dead branches into the bonfire, and just wanted to ask why the predecessors didn't kill the gang of bandits of Yang Yuan of Hunjiang Jiao, but she quickly figured out the joints and didn't ask more.

Once they startled the snake, Cao Fu and Xiao Shuye would only be more patient and cautious.

Sui Jingcheng wanted to ask why he didn't kill those two people on the spot on the Ancient Tea Horse Road, but Sui Jingcheng still quickly came up with an answer by himself.

Why?

Where is the bottom line between good and evil between those two?

Sui Jingcheng reached out and rubbed his temples.

She understood a lot of things, but she just felt a little headache, and her mind began to be a mess, could it be that the cultivation on the mountain had to be so restrained? So if she had cultivated such a sword immortal method as her predecessors, would it be so cumbersome to do everything? If you encounter some scenes where you have to act in time, good and evil are difficult to decide, then do you still want to use the Dao method to save people or kill people?

The man seemed to see through Sui Jingcheng's thoughts, and said with a smile: "When you get used to nature and see more people and things, before you make a move, you will be measured, not only will you not drag mud and water, whether it is a sword or a Dao, but it will be very fast, it will only be extremely fast." ”

He pointed to the chess pieces on the chessboard, "If Yang Yuan would slap the four of you Sui family to death as soon as he entered the pavilion, or if I couldn't see through Fu Zhenhui's sword to stop Hu Xinfeng's punch at that time, I naturally wouldn't have watched from afar." Believe me, neither Fu Zhen nor Hu Xinfeng will know how they died. ”

Chen Ping'an looked at Sui Jingcheng, who was smiling and nodding.

Previously, she knelt on top of the official road and prayed again, "Sui Jingcheng wants to follow her predecessors to practice immortal magic!"

He asked two questions, "Why?"

"I have had a chance since I was a child, I have the talent for cultivation, I have the treasure of the immortal family given by the masters, I am a natural cultivator, but I suffer from not having a master on the mountain to guide me. After cultivating the Immortal Law, I will walk the rivers and lakes like my predecessors!"

Two answers, one is infallible and the other is still smart.

So Chen Ping'an planned to let her go to Cui Dongshan and follow him to practice, he knew how to teach Sui Jingcheng, not only to teach the immortal family techniques, but also to be a human being.

What is Sui Jingcheng's talent, Chen Ping'an does not dare to assert it, but his mind is indeed good. Especially her gambling luck, every time it is good, it is not a lot of luck, but ...... Gambling too.

But this is not all the reason why Chen Ping'an wants Sui Jingcheng to go to Aquarius to find Cui Dongshan.

After watching two games of chess, Chen Ping'an had something that he wanted Cui Dongshan, a disciple, to see, which was half the answer to the question that the student asked Mr. back then.

Chen Ping'an sacrificed the flying sword fifteen, twisted it gently, and began to bow his head and bend over the small trekking stick that was like a green bamboo, and cut it with a knife.

As far as Sui Jingcheng's eyes could see, it seemed that a knife was carved in its place.

Sui Jingcheng didn't say a word, just stared wide-eyed at the man silently carving on the hiking stick.

After a stick of incense, Sui Jingcheng's eyes were pantothenic and rubbed his eyes.

After about an hour, the man put away the flying sword that had been used as a carving knife, and the light of the sword flashed at the center of his brow.

Chen Ping'an said: "After finding that person, you tell him that I have some ideas for the answer to that question, but before answering the question, there must be two prerequisites, one is the pursuit, which must be absolutely correct." The second is that there are mistakes and mistakes are known, and mistakes can be corrected. As for how to change, how to know and correct mistakes, the answer lies in this walking stick, you let Cui Dongshan see for himself, and I hope he can see more carefully and farther than me, and do better. One one, that is, countless one, is the avenue of heaven and earth, and all beings in the world. Let him start with what he can do with his eyes and his heart. If it is not the correct result, the big and small mistakes during the period can be turned a blind eye, there is no such good thing in the world, not only does he need to re-examine, but also look at it carefully. Otherwise, the so-called correct result is still a calculation of the interests of one time and one place, not a long-term road of course. ”

Sui Jingcheng was confused, but still nodded vigorously.

Chen Ping'an didn't rush to hand over the hiking stick to Sui Jingcheng, gently pressed the trekking stick with the palms of both hands, and looked up at the sky, "Cultivation, in addition to grasping opportunities, obtaining strange treasures and learning techniques, observing the subtleties of people's hearts, is also cultivating, which is to sharpen the heart of the Dao." If you practice the method of ruthlessness, you can also use it to sharpen your state of mind, and you should understand the truth of the sages, and you should know that people's hearts are complex. The human body is a small world, and the mind is the most uncertain. Although it was difficult at the beginning of this matter, as long as you face the difficulties, it will be a fluke, just like building a second bridge of eternal life and benefiting for life. ”

Sui Jingcheng saw that the man just looked up at the night.

Chen Ping'an said suddenly: "On the way to the Xianjia ferry in the Green Ying Country, about the safety of the Sui family, do you think there is anything that needs to be checked and filled? Even if you need to turn around and return to Wuling Kingdom, it doesn't matter. ”

Chen Ping'an put his fingers together and tapped lightly on the trekking stick, "After doing the circle and cutting, it is one thing, how to do the best, looking at each other, is also a kind of practice." If it extends too far from both ends, it may not be able to do a good job, and that is when the manpower is exhausted, and the truth is also true. ”

Sui Jingcheng remembered his outspoken arrangement when she climbed the mountain, she smiled and shook her head, "The seniors are thoughtful, even Wang Yu's seniors are included, I don't have anything to say." ”

Chen Ping'an waved his hand, "Don't rush to make a conclusion, no one in the world has a foolproof strategy." You don't have to think that just because I'm high now, I must be right. If I were you Sui Jingcheng, caught in the situation of Xingting, I wouldn't talk about good or bad intentions, just talk about getting out of trouble, and I wouldn't do it more correctly than you. ”

Finally the man withdrew his gaze and looked at her with clear eyes.

Sui Jingcheng had never seen such a bright and clean brilliance in the eyes of any man, and he smiled: "This road will probably take a while, you reason with me, I will listen." Whether you have a reason or not, I'd like to hear it first. If it is reasonable, you are right, and I will admit my mistake. In the future, you will know if I have some kind words with you. ”

"Then with me, even if I am the only one, you can't say that all the truths in the world are in the hands of those who have hard fists and high Taoism. If someone tells you that, the world is the one whose fist is hard and who is reasonable, don't believe them. That's because they've had enough, but they're not full. Because this kind of person, in fact, is born in the world, and is sheltered by countless invisible rules without knowing it. ”

"What's more, there are many people like me, but you haven't met them yet, or you have already met them, and it is precisely because of their reasoning that you don't feel it. ”

The man stood up, put his hands on the walking stick, and looked at the mountains and rivers in the distance, "I hope that no matter ten years or a hundred years later, Sui Jingcheng will be the Sui Jingcheng who can say in the pavilion that I will stay, and is willing to wear a life-saving magic weapon on others." There are thousands of lights in the world, even if you become a mountain monk in the future, and then go to look down, you can still find that even if they are alone in a family, a house, and a room, it will appear bright and subtle, but once every house is lit up, it is a spectacular picture of the galaxy in the world. We now have the cultivators in the world, there are so many ordinary masters, it is by relying on these inconspicuous lamps and lanterns, that from the streets and alleys, the countryside and the market, the scholarly family, the mansion of the wealthy, the princely house, the immortal mansion on the mountain, from this place of different heights, one after another really strong people have emerged, with punches and swords and the true truth that contains the great righteousness, in front of the way for the future generations, silently sheltering countless weak people, so we can stagger all the way to today. ”

The man turned his head and said with a smile: "Let's just say that you and I, are we smart and bad people, is it difficult? I don't think it's difficult, but what's the difficulty? The difficulty is that we know that people's hearts are sinister, and we are willing to be good people who need to pay the price for the truth in our hearts." ”

Sui Jingcheng's face flushed, "Senior, I'm not counting yet, it's far from it!"

The man squinted and smiled, "Well, this sycophant, I accept it." ”

Sui Jingcheng was stunned.

The man continued to look at the night in the distance, resting his chin on the backs of his hands, and laughed softly: "You also helped me untie a knot, I have to thank you, that is, I learned how to get along with beautiful women, so the next time I go to the Great Wall of Sword Qi, it will be even more reasonable." Because I have seen a lot of good-looking girls in the world, I don't feel that looking at them more will make my heart empty. Well, this can be regarded as a success in cultivating the mind. ”

Sui Jingcheng hesitated for a moment, but still felt that he should say something loyal and unpleasant, and said timidly: "Senior, this kind of thing is good to keep in your heart, but don't say it directly to your beloved woman, it's not pleasant." ”

The man turned his head and wondered, "Can't you say?"

Sui Jingcheng nodded vigorously and said categorically: "I can't say it!"

The man rubbed his chin, seemingly a little tangled.

Sui Jingcheng looked cheerful, "Senior, I'm also one of the good-looking women, right?"

The man didn't turn his head, he should be in a good mood, and joked for the first time: "Hugh wants to spoil my avenue." ”

Sui Jingcheng didn't dare to make an inch.

But for herself to become the "Sui Family Jade" on the map of more than a dozen countries, and the other three peerless beauties who have captivated the country and the city, she is a woman after all, it is a happy thing after all.

She was a little sleepy when her heartstrings relaxed, shook her head, and began to stretch out her hand to warm the fire, and after a while, looking back, the hiking stick was still in place, but the green shirt began to slowly walk to practice boxing?

Sui Jingcheng rubbed his eyes and asked, "After arriving at the legendary Immortal Family Ferry, will the seniors return to the Bone Beach in the south together?"

The man kept punching, shook his head and said, "No, so on the ferry, you have to be more careful yourself, of course, I will try to make you have fewer accidents, but the path of cultivation still depends on yourself." ”

Sui Jingcheng wanted to speak and stopped.

The man said, "Walking sticks are a thing with your life, if you have to make a trade-off, don't hesitate, life is important." ”

Sui Jingcheng said helplessly: "Senior, do you know everything?"

The man thought for a moment and casually asked, "How old are you Chinese New Year's Eve?"

Sui Jingcheng was speechless, turned his head sullenly, and threw a few dead branches into the bonfire.
