May passed quickly, the whole world began to get hot, Gu Tingcheng put on a peasant green clothes, coarse linen, the whole person looked lazy, at this time was lying on a crooked neck tree on the edge of the official road, with a grass in his mouth, his feet in broken straw shoes hung down, and he hummed an unknown nursery rhyme in his mouth, very leisurely, he only felt that the temple was high, and the battlefield was full of fighting.

Feeling the cool summer breeze on the tree, he remembered the words of the middle-aged scholar for no reason, and muttered to himself: "Four seasons Hou Feng, is the moon phase complete?" Suddenly, a fragrance wafted over with the wind, arousing Gu Qingcheng's long-lost appetite, and he looked up through the shade of the tree, it was already the middle of the day, and it was time for dinner.

Looking for the taste and looking at the past, the left side of the official road is a crystal clear river, close to the summer, the river section near the city has been surrounded by ordinary people who borrow the river water to enjoy the coolness, the fragrance is in the downstream of the river, the fragrance of chili garlic accompanied by the shallots and the oil makes Gu Qingcheng can't help but move his index finger, one turned over and jumped off the branch, and ran downstream with great interest, turning into a meal.

He practiced Fengyue, although he could not be too conspicuous in front of the public, but his foot strength was much better than the general so-called martial arts masters, and he could see the fireworks after a while, in a low-lying area next to the downstream river, the sun was fierce, and there was a temporary small grass house next to the fire, a person lay in it and fell asleep, the grass house was very low, the top of the house was spread out with some large banana leaves, the leaf tail drooped, people went inside, they couldn't see the upper body at all, and they could vaguely see that they were wearing a hundred clothes, and they were wearing a beggar. His exposed feet were unshoed and covered with mud.

Turning his gaze to the fire, a small figure was sitting on the side roasting a dog that had been skinned and deboned, and its belly was filled with all kinds of spices, and a nest of soup was stewed next to it, and the soup was tumbling up and down with the fire, and the aroma was constantly bubbling outside.

Gu Tingcheng hugged the little man with both fists and said: "Passing by here on the next road, I am hungry, and I dare to melt the soup to my brother" and did not wait for others to agree, his right hand condensed a bucket of moonlight, barely rubbed it into a moonlight bowl, stretched out his hand and filled a bowl, just about to drink, a sharp wind sounded behind his head, and he didn't care about drinking, so he turned sideways.

turned around and shouted, "Brother, your strength has narrowed."

Hearing the sound of "hum", Gu Qingcheng couldn't help but stay there, because the short figure who was busy with barbecue turned out to be a little monkey with a sharp beak and cheeks. Immediately relieved, there are no wonders in this world, and it is not uncommon for monsters to cultivate the law and open up the spiritual wisdom, but this little monkey looks at his body movements, and he has definitely cultivated the law and opened the wisdom of the spiritual thing, and generally to this extent, how can he cultivate into a human form, and the goods in front of him are good, and every move is like a person, but it doesn't look like it.

Seeing Gu Qingcheng looking at himself suspiciously, the little monkey couldn't help but be angry, thinking that he was extremely talented, and his cultivation speed was a thousand miles a day, but he could cultivate a human body in two hundred years, but now he was~

Thinking of this, he was not angry, and picked up a burning stick to attack Gu Qingcheng, and there was a strange burst of fire at the end of the stick, which was scorching and compelling.

Gu Tingcheng sacrificed the crescent moon, Yuehua formed a half-moon-shaped protective cover by itself, wrapping Gu Tingcheng's front of him, the burning stick was blocked outside, and he couldn't enter an inch, but the fire light at the front was out of the light curtain in front of him, and shot towards Gu Tingcheng from an unguarded position behind.

From a distance of one zhang, Gu Qingcheng could feel that the sharp wind formed by the burst of firelight was aimed at the door behind his head. I don't know what kind of exercises this monkey is cultivating, and I have never seen such a strange way of attacking.

Gu Tingcheng didn't dare to take it hard, pulled out his figure, the firelight swept under his feet, bringing a gust of hot wind, the monkey seemed to see that Gu Tingcheng was just avoiding it, and he really didn't mean to do anything to himself, so he took the firelight and went back to burn the fire stick and continue to barbecue.

Gu Tingcheng knew that he wouldn't answer anything to himself, so he simply didn't ask, and the two of them had a fight inexplicably, and then you roasted your meat, and I drank my soup. No, Gu Qingcheng took a sip of thick soup, contented to think that he had been beaten inexplicably, and then inexplicably drank a bowl of soup, which was quite satisfying. I couldn't help but laugh at the thought of this.

"What's so funny?"

An old and loud voice sounded in his ears, Gu Tingcheng looked sideways, the person who was sleeping was already sitting beside him, and a pair of shining eyes were staring at him, because the distance was too close, Gu Tingcheng could only see these bright and penetrating eyes.

The monkey who helped him barbecue meat was still like this, and this old man in a hundred clothes would not feel strange no matter what kind of cultivation Gu Qingcheng did.

smiled and said: "I came over and drank a bowl of soup inexplicably, and he beat me up inexplicably, is it funny for you to say such an inexplicable thing"

The old man took a few steps back and looked Gu Qingcheng up and down, with a smile in his eyes, and the monkey was actually grinning with his teeth while turning over the barbecue.

When he retreated, Gu Qingcheng saw his appearance clearly, but it was very ordinary, with a full beard, messy hair, dressed as a beggar, and a black shiny wooden stick in his hand, the only thing that impressed him was his eyes, if a person's eyes could be full of wisdom, it was the person in front of him.

The old man learned from Gu Tingcheng's appearance, gathered his energy into a bowl, stirred the pot, the aroma was overflowing, and he ate it with relish, Gu Tingcheng saw this and continued to laugh and eat, the old man and the monkey didn't care about him, and ate the fragrant meat with the hot soup.

Under the joint siege of the three of them, a large pot of thick soup and fragrant meat was soon wiped out, and both of them and a monkey were sweating profusely, lying by the river, half of their bodies soaked in the river.

Gu Qingcheng set up a breeze to blow towards the three, and with indescribable pleasure, the heat of the summer and summer days was forced to retreat a few points.

The old man smiled and said, "Qingfeng recognizes the master? It's not bad, it's just that the realm is too low."

Gu Tingcheng was puzzled: "Realm? "He has been in Bihai Pavilion and Chaosheng Pavilion for ten years, and there are all kinds of masters in it, but no one has completely explained the so-called realm system to him, their division is very simple to take the number of layers of Bihai Pavilion as the boundary, and when Gu Qingcheng was in Chaosheng Pavilion back then, he didn't do anything except be beaten and strained, and no one would tell him about this when he came out of the rivers and lakes, Yuan Bao and Happy needless to say, Bai Yulou and the master hurriedly said goodbye and didn't have a chance to talk in detail, Zhu Mingshan majored in Qimen Dunjia, and rarely talked about it with Gu Qingcheng's words, Therefore, this lie out of the general's mansion, there are a lot of fights, but the growth of martial arts knowledge is not much, or it may be because he did not deliberately observe this aspect of things.

The old man was a little surprised, he said that Gu Qingcheng's realm was low, that was relatively speaking, and he didn't necessarily have his realm when he was so old, how could it seem that this young man didn't seem to know anything about martial arts?

Gu Tingcheng also knew the lack of this aspect, and there was nothing to do at the moment, so the old gentleman looked like his cultivation was not weak, so he humbly asked: "Old gentleman, may I ask, how is the realm divided?" ”

The monkey glanced at it with a little disdain, it looked good, and he would ask such a childish question, receiving the contempt of the monkey, Gu Qingcheng touched his nose and looked at the old man.

The old man didn't mind, he had always liked excellent young people, looking at the young man in front of him, thinking of the days when he was riding the rivers and lakes in the past, happy and revenge, he untied an old wine jug and threw it to Gu Qingcheng, and said with a smile: "The snake wine of the Western Wilderness, make up for it"

Gu Tingcheng is a good wine person, the West Wilderness Snake Wine is one of the top ten famous wines in the world, I heard its name early, I couldn't help but light up, I reached out to take it, unscrewed the wine jug, a burst of medicinal fragrance came to my nose, Gu Tingcheng raised his head and took a sip, and was not in a hurry to swallow, feeling the spicy aroma of wine and medicine, and then slowly swallowed, like a warm flow down the stomach, warm, comfortable, couldn't help but say: "Sure enough, it is a high-grade snake wine, the fragrance of medicinal materials, snake freshness, and seasoning account for proportions, the main tone of snake freshness, the main and auxiliary fragrance of medicinal materials, and the seasoning is around the edge, and the layers are clear but complement each other." , the first bite is snake fresh, the second bite brings out the medicinal fragrance, and then it is a little longer, but it tastes the vast territory of the Western Wilderness and the age of the wine."

The old man was pleasantly surprised: "The little doll has a good experience."

Gu Tingcheng stopped talking, and if he continued to chat, it was estimated that the matter of asking for martial arts would disappear again.

When the old man saw him behaving like this, he knew what he was thinking, so he picked up the topic and said, "Do you know Yingzheng?" ”

Gu Tingcheng nodded, the First Emperor of the Ages was also the first land god, how could he not know that the Heavenly Gate was sealed at Emperor Peak of Mount Tai, so that the immortals of the Nine Heavenly Ques could no longer go down to the mortal world at will.

The old man nodded and said: "You should know that if there is no him, the current people are under the hands of the immortals, and the good thing is the immortal power, and the bad thing is actually equivalent to the domain mark." As rumored in the world, Qin Huangdi is the first land god in the world, the only land god in the emperor's way, and now the martial arts recognized by the three religions are formed from the first emperor, before the formation of the Zhuzi school, it was a flood of famine. Of course, we haven't experienced that era, let's not talk about the merits and demerits, anyway, the gods of the flood and desolation do not have the compassion in our cognition, and the ancestral dragon closing the heavenly gate and determining the Central Plains is indeed a great merit."

"Okay, you go down in this river and lake, and sooner or later one day you learn about this history, myths, and sometimes bloody. The current martial arts can be roughly divided into four levels of heaven and earth Xuanhuang, each level is divided into eight realms, Qinghuang is the first threshold for people who ask the Tao to distinguish between the martial arts under the mountain and the cultivation on the mountain. Pick up Huang and return to the earth to ascend to the sky and the god of land. To the realm of the land god, you can almost ascend in the flesh, which is better than the average scattered immortal, and now you hold half a bright moon in your hand, and you have stepped on the spring and summer winds, and you have entered the mystery. ”

"As for which one is after entering the mystery, I can't see it clearly, I have to do it once, but depending on your play with the little monkey, it should be between the scene and death."

Gu Tingcheng came into contact with this kind of martial arts theory for the first time, such as Wen Tianshu, he was not in a hurry, he cultivated for eternity, and he grew up.

Asking the old man about other ways of cultivating the Tao is also exhaustive.

After this conversation, the sky was almost dusk, the two of them were not finished, simply a total, tonight here and now candle night talk, ask the little monkey to try to find some food, and talk about anecdotes, the old man has seen a lot, Gu Chengcheng is well-read, and the world really does not think of the second person.

The old man has lived a long and horizontal life, seen all the things in the world, and is open-minded, so he is also very high-minded, but he has walked thousands of miles, and he has thousands of books in his chest, and there are only a handful of people who can keep up with his ideas.

Gu Tingcheng only felt that this trip to the rivers and lakes was the happiest today.

The old man smiled and said, "Gu Xiaoyou is going west this time, take care"

Gu Tingcheng smiled gently: "It's not heavy"

The old man looked up to the sky and smiled, like a long whale sucking water, ups and downs. It is like a green dragon entering the clouds, soaring upward.

"You don't see, the water of the Yellow River comes up from the sky, rushes to the sea and never returns; You don't see, the mirror is sad and white-haired, and the morning is like green silk and twilight into snow, "Gu Qingcheng hits the city and sings, the sound is clear, like a crane for nine days, and the old man's generous smile forms a sense of harmony.

The upside-down monkey looked at the two unborn people in front of him, and suddenly had a feeling that he was truly unparalleled in the world.

Thousands of miles away from the east and south, a team of majestic and solemn troops wearing dark red armor is slowly advancing, under the starlight, the military horses do not know how many mortals, solemn and solemn like a thick river of blood slowly flowing. The leader of the general looked up at the east, and suddenly felt like he was fighting for hegemony, and under the moonlight, the shadows intertwined and the handsome and extraordinary face condensed a little smile.

Thousands of miles away from the east and west, a young man in black clothes and black pants rode on a colorful white tiger, roaring to the moon, commanding all beasts not to dare to gasp loudly.

The two laughed for a long time, and suddenly fell asleep together, dreaming of Huangliang.

The next day, Gu Qingcheng woke up, and there was no trace of the old man and the strange monkey. I can't help laughing at myself, I slept really well last night, walking the rivers and lakes like this, with an iron neck!

He has a broad nature, and the past is in the past, never too probing, picking up the old wine jug that the old man deliberately left by the river, taking a sip and striding on the road.

"With the abundance of the blue sea tide and the abundance of Tibetan scrolls, why haven't I found a single book about martial arts?"
