A few days of sunny days are extremely precious on the ground of Qizhou, which has just been hit by wind and snow.

In particular, the temperature has risen, gradually becoming warmer, and even giving people the illusion that the harsh winter is about to pass, and it is about to usher in a thunderstorm and a warm spring.

On Qinglin Mountain, in Qingyang Courtyard.

With a dull, oppressive sound.

The heavy, sturdy door of the practice room was pushed open.

A figure slowly walked out of it.

The warm sunlight shone obliquely, smearing the dark robe with a faint layer of gold.

The exposed skin is clearly textured in the sun, like King Kong glass, showing a restrained dark golden color.

Little by little, time passed.

Wei Tao's eyes were slightly closed, and his ten fingers touched lightly.

Suddenly, like the sound of a bell chime, it quietly swayed in the Qingyang Courtyard, echoing leisurely.

After a few breaths, the dark gold color of the skin quietly receded, turning from diamond glass to jade delicate, under the light gold sunlight and black robe, it was even more handsome and humble.

Suddenly, the dark fragrance floated, and the shadow fluttered.

Quietly it has come to the front.

"I don't see him, I don't listen to his voice, I just smell the fragrance of the orchid, and I know that my senior sister is here."

Wei Tao slowly opened his eyes and landed on the figure that came one after another, and couldn't help but feel a little stunned.

Ni Yan did not wear the usual high-crown robe today, but wore a goose yellow skirt with a snow-white coat, which immediately brought him an amazing feeling that he had never had.

She stopped a few steps away and looked at it with a smile, "Senior brother has been in retreat for ten days, and his cultivation has improved again, it seems that your wish to fight me with all your strength will never be realized." ”

"Has it been so long?"

When Wei Tao heard this, he was suddenly a little distracted, "I thought it would be two or three days at most, and I was going to go back to Fucheng after leaving the customs." ”

Ni Yan said, "Senior brother, don't worry, everything is fine in Fucheng now, and I have always kept in mind the things you explained before you went down the mountain and went north."

Moreover, the Shanmen Dao soldiers have not withdrawn, so I will let them guard the ground in Nancheng, and if there is a situation, they can deal with it immediately, and at the same time report to the Shanmen to know. ”

Wei Tao let out a long sigh of relief, "Senior sister's care is meticulous, and junior brother is grateful. ”

Speaking of this, he showed a gentle smile, "As for the senior sister who wants to compete with me, the junior brother can accompany me at any time, and there is actually no problem in making an all-out shot, as long as the senior sister stands behind me at that time." ”

Ni Yan refused with a smile, "If you really want to compete with your junior brother, then forget it, I just said it with emotion just now."

At least in the near future, I have to calm my mind, stabilize my state of mind, and minimize the number of times I use force, especially to reduce life-and-death confrontations with all my might. ”

Wei Tao listened silently, the light in his eyes suddenly flashed, and even his voice was a little surprised, "Senior sister has already stepped into the Xuan sense?" ”

Ni Yan nodded and walked out with him, "After coming down the mountain this time, I have fought with the Northern Wilderness Martial Artists who infiltrated several times, and I have climbed my spiritual spirit to the peak again and again.

So on the night when the wind stopped and the snow stopped, I suddenly saw the crescent moon and clouds appearing, reflecting a line of silver light, and naturally pushed open the door and stepped into the level of mystery. ”

Wei Tao put his hands behind his back and walked slowly, from time to time he gestured to the disciples of Qingyang Academy who were respectfully saluting.

He was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke, "The missing part of the Xuanyuan secret method of this sect, has the Dao Master completed it now?" ”

Ni Yan shook his head, "It's not really completed yet, but the teacher means that the sun and the moon are full and the Tao is natural, and sometimes the pursuit of excessive perfection will be too deliberate, and the artistic conception of the door will be lost." ”

Speaking of this, a smile appeared on her face, "I look at Senior Brother Wei's divine light and restrained, jade bones and ice muscles, and there is a statue of Yuanyu Yuezhi in every movement and stillness, could it be that he is about to break through the realm of Xuangan and stand in front of the martial arts master who is in harmony with yin and yang, and heaven and man are born?" ”

"The description of jade bone ice muscle, coming out of my senior sister's mouth, makes me a little embarrassed."

Wei Tao also smiled, and then sighed with a sigh, "I practiced the Vajra Secret Method, and this retreat blessed my soul, and I sensed and captured the relevant mystical thoughts, so I broke through two passes in a row, and I saw the barrier to the realm of the grandmaster from a distance.

However, if you want to truly break through the realm master from the Xuan Sense, there are still great difficulties in front of you, and I am still slowly groping for now, and I don't have too many clues for a while. ”

"The difficulties mentioned by the junior brother should be related to the incarnation of heaven and man, the harmony of yin and yang."

Ni Yan pondered and said slowly, "Perceiving and capturing the mystical thoughts of the exercises cultivated is an indispensable path for the Sect Master to break through the realm from the Xuan Sense.

But it is not enough to have mystical thoughts, but also need the sympathy of heaven and man, yin and yang, so that they can reflect themselves, detach themselves from all kinds of delusions, and reach the realm level of martial arts masters. ”

"The disciple has seen the master of the courtyard and has seen Ni Daozi."

At this moment, another disciple of Qingyang Academy passed by, and he gave way to the side of the road early, and waited for the two of them to walk by.

Wei Tao fell into deep thought, and Ni Yan turned his head and smiled at the disciple.

The disciple of Qingyang Academy straightened up, subconsciously looked back at the two figures that were gradually moving away, and couldn't help but feel a little stupid.

Ni Yan stopped in front of a long corridor and continued, "It has been recorded in this classic, and the teacher has occasionally mentioned it before, that everything in the world arises from the intersection of yin and yang.

The same is true for the practice of martial arts, as the so-called solitary yin does not give birth, solitary yang does not grow, knowing the male guarding the female, and the yin and yang are combined. ”

"As for the incarnation of heaven and man, there is also a saying called the sympathy between heaven and man, or the harmony of heaven and man, and man refers to the warrior himself, and if heaven is understood in a relatively superficial way, it refers to the surrounding environment.

The spirit and strength of the grandmaster warrior are in harmony with the surrounding environment, and can even influence it, and in turn can also benefit itself from the surrounding environment, which is the concrete embodiment of the sympathetic transformation of heaven and man. ”

"The way of heaven is to make up for the deficiency when there is more loss, and the way of man is to make up for the deficiency than enough, such as the harmony of heaven and man, and the foundation of all changes."

Wei Tao felt in his heart, recalling the martial arts master who had fought against him.

Grandmasters above all levels are indeed as Ni Yan said, able to be in harmony with God and mind, mind and body, and with the surrounding environment.

Fighting with them, it can only be a royal envoy like him, the Mixed Yuan Unity, the Secret Method Cathode, and even the combination of the Seven Nights, using enough violence to break a gap in this artistic conception, in order to stand in front of the Martial Arts Grandmaster.

But even so, when facing such as the palace and the dragon saint, whether it was the treacherous mist around the palace or the golden dragon artistic conception of the dragon in the area where the dragon suppressed it, it had a considerable impact on him.

It can even be said that if it weren't for Gong Yuan's misjudgment and wrong play, Long Sheng's old age and decay when he finally broke through the anode, and his dark injuries broke out, it is unknown whether he can achieve the final victory, and there is still the possibility of defeat and death.

Then, the question arises.

How to do the incarnation of heaven and man, the harmony of yin and yang?

How can we achieve the vajra artistic conception of that Northern Wilderness Henglian Grandmaster?

"No, no......"

Wei Tao suddenly woke up, and a light suddenly flashed in his heart.

"What that saying goes, those who learn from me live, and those who resemble me die, so what I need to do is to find the methodology, not just focus on the results achieved by the other person, but ignore the process that really matters.

Just like this time I realized and captured the secret method of Vajra, and it was also based on the previous visualization and understanding of the moon washing catalogue, and I walked out of my own path, so that I was able to see the golden armor phantom that was different from the Northern Wilderness.

On the other hand, if I am just aiming at the artistic conception shown by Meng Xi to copy and copy, I am afraid that I will draw a tiger and not become an anti-dog, and the bamboo basket will be empty. ”

Ni Yan on the side didn't disturb his thinking, sitting quietly on the stone bench in the pavilion, not knowing what he was thinking.

Little by little, time passed.

The two of them stood and sat down, both silent.

The atmosphere is extraordinarily peaceful and peaceful.

It's unbearable to come and break it.

But as the sun rose in the sky, there was still a young female disciple who cautiously approached and stood outside the pavilion and curtsied.

"Ni Daozi, Deacon Mei in the courtyard asked the disciple to ask, lunch has been prepared, I don't know where the son and the courtyard master are going to eat?"

Ni Yan bathed in the warm afternoon sunshine, enjoying the rare quiet and peace, and was a little lazy and didn't want to get up for a while.

She thought for a moment and said a little apologetically, "If it's convenient, please send the food here, and Senior Brother Wei and I can eat some at will in this pavilion." ”

"Daozi is polite, no trouble, no trouble at all."

The female disciple saluted again, "The disciple will go to Deacon Mei and bring the meal that has just come out of the pot." ”

Soon after, she went and returned.

He was followed by several Qingyang Courtyard handymen, who brought a huge dining table and two chairs, and poured wine with their hands and feet.

Wei Tao came back to his senses at this time, took a sip of the wine cup handed by Ni Yan, and sighed with satisfaction.

As soon as he picked up a piece of soft stew and put it in his mouth, he suddenly remembered something, and immediately put down the dishes and chopsticks and returned to the house.

When I sat back at the table, I already had a crystal clear necklace in my hand.

It shines brightly in the sun and shimmers with dazzling brilliance.

"This necklace is a gift from my junior brother?"

Ni Yanqiao smiled skillfully, her beautiful eyes were looking forward to it, and her eyes were sparkling, rippling with Daodao.

Wei Tao smiled gently, "Although I didn't collect more critical and detailed information on my trip to the Northern Wilderness, I have occasional gains in other aspects, these two necklaces are used as gifts for reunion after a long absence, and the senior sister and the family sister are exactly one each." ”

Ni Yan stretched out his hand to take it, put it in his palm and admired it for a moment, and then put it on his body directly.

After a moment, she suddenly raised her head, pursed her lips and smiled, "Is it good-looking?" ”

The golden sunlight spreads all over the land, and the mountain breeze slowly passes through the pavilion.

Wei Tao watched quietly and didn't speak.

The winter sun is warm, and the green mountains are white and snowy.

Yiren is like jade, warm and moist like water.

All this was deeply engraved in his mind, and he didn't even want to make a sound, for fear of accidentally ruining this beautiful scene.

After a long time, Wei Tao drank all the Chinese medicinal wine, but when he spoke, he suddenly didn't know what to say or what to say.

He just looked at the scattered green silk in her ears, and then subconsciously lowered his gaze, staring at the red pattern drawn on the edge of a plate, and his mind flew inexplicably at this time, and he turned an unknown number of bends and landed in another place inexplicably.

"At the beginning, I used silk to trace part of the content of the moon washing catalog, so if you think about it by drawing inferences, the true meaning of the Vajra secret method is also to use points as lines and lines to form surfaces, can it also be reproduced from beginning to end with silk?"

"If it can be done, and it has an effect, doesn't it mean that the true meaning of the Xuan Nian can be fixed by some means?

In this way, it is natural to visualize and perceive whenever you want, and the efficiency of your cultivation is definitely more than several times higher than before. ”

"That time I met Gong Yuan on Qinglin Mountain Road, and she personally said that she was not qualified and did not have a very good cultivation talent.

But with the level of strength she showed, as well as the three great masters of Dingxuan, Qinglian, and Emperor Wu, she was able to eat and drink as freely as she could, I am afraid that even the Golden Dragon Master of the Northern Wilderness would not be able to catch up.

Where is this poor qualifications and no talent, it can be described as amazing and terrifying. ”

Therefore, whether the palace can come to this point and whether it has anything to do with the mysterious silk has become a question worthy of in-depth study.

However, looking at her words and deeds before her death, there seems to be a great hidden danger, but what kind of results will be caused, the information we have now is incomplete, and we cannot make a more accurate judgment. ”

Wei Tao took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

Completely forgetting the dishes on the table, he didn't even put down the wine cup in his hand, and fell into deep thought again.

Ni Yan didn't bother, and sat there silently drinking tea alone, with a relaxed posture and a calm expression.

It was in stark contrast to the way he had been immersed in all his time before.

"One movement and one stillness, one relaxation, senior sister is well versed in the way of civil and martial arts, and she will definitely be able to survive the mystical sense."

Wei Tao opened his eyes, regardless of the fact that the food on the table had been cooled, and it was swept away like a cloud.

It wasn't until he drank the last sip of medicinal wine that Ni Yan smiled and said, "I can't talk about Enron, since I entered the Xuangan, I have also been plagued by all kinds of delusions, but I rarely show them, which is why I look so leisurely." ”

As she spoke, she slowly got up from behind the table, "If the war resumes, this sect will definitely bear the brunt, the Dao Master and the elders have been busy recently, and many outer sect Taoist temples under the mountain have also begun the final preparations, hoping that it will be just a false alarm in the end." ”

Wei Tao nodded, and followed out of the pavilion, "Plan for the worst, work hard for the best, most things in the world are like this." ”

The sky is getting dark, and the cold wind is rising.

The capital city of Qizhou is lively and noisy, and it seems that it has not yet been subjected to the pressure transmitted by the border pass in the north.

Wei Tao walked slowly along the crowd and soon came to the location of his restaurant.

People come and go in front of the door, and business is booming.

He stood in front of the door and watched for a moment, then turned and left.

Soon after, Wei Tao came out of his empty house and went straight to the courtyard where the headquarters of Sancaimen was located.

The two disciples were eating in the gatehouse hut, a pot of soju, a few plates of side dishes, chatting while drinking, very happy.

Wei Tao didn't bother them, and entered the courtyard in a flash, and then walked towards the place where the herd boat lived.

There was still some distance away, and suddenly a gust of evening wind blew, bringing a smell of blood that was so thick that it could hardly be dissolved.

His brows furrowed slightly, his true strength and blood spontaneously flowed, and he stepped forward again.

The black robe he wore stretched out in the wind, and the hunting sounded, and in an instant he crossed the entire vestibule and came to the door of the inner courtyard.

Without any sound, Wei Tao had already come to the courtyard, with a somewhat strange and complicated expression on his face, quietly looking at the Sancai Sect Master who was busy not far away.

And the wild deer that was constantly tossed by the herd's boat.

Skinning, bloodletting, deboning, meat extraction.

The herd's series of actions are smooth, and there is a different kind of beauty like a cow.

On the table next to it, there are also all kinds of spices, and at a glance, there are all kinds of spices, some of which even Wei Tao has never seen or heard of.

The shepherd was so busy there that he didn't notice that there was an extra person in the courtyard.

Wei Tao observed for a moment and slowly walked out of the shadows, "I haven't seen that Brother Mu is still good at cooking, but it makes the little brother quite surprised. ”

The herdsman didn't raise his head and said, "You don't know this, when you were a child, your boss and my family were born as butchers who killed pigs and sheep, and after so many years, the handiwork of this family naturally cannot be lost." ”

He burped a lot, and kept saying, "Later, I dealt with the restaurant a lot, and I learned some cooking skills without a teacher, until I ...... later."

Mu Fang suddenly fell silent, turned around with some doubts, and looked this way.

"I was thinking that there was some blind little guy in the door who had to come and disturb me when I was most attentive."

He muttered to himself, and the smile on his face became more and more intense, "I didn't expect it to be Brother Wei here, foolish brother, I won't be a noon wine and haven't woken up, I'm asleep and dreaming." ”

"I see that Brother Mu is very sober, and he also has the ability to predict the future."

Wei Tao smiled slightly, stretched out his finger and pointed to the venison on the table, "Did the eldest brother calculate in advance that I was going to come, so he personally prepared to open the fire and stew?" ”

"Brother Wei raised it a lot, making a cheeky person like Brother a little embarrassed."

Mu Fang paused, "My brother has just returned to Fucheng." ”

Seeing Wei Tao nodding, he continued, "Brother Wei may not know that the old man and his wife no longer live in that mansion now, and have changed to a better place, and I went over to have a drink at home yesterday." ”

"Since the last time my brother returned to Fucheng, the young lady of the Jiedu envoy often went to the restaurant to eat, and even opened several restaurant branches in Fucheng in the name of the eldest lady, and there were other shops next to it.

Later, Feng Ergongzi took down the garden mansion next to the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion and wanted Uncle Wei to live there, but the old man politely declined......"

Mu Fang picked up the key things and said, suddenly threw away the butcher knife, and cleaned his hands in the basin next to him, "I was thinking about handling these venisons properly and choosing the best place to send to the old man tomorrow."

But since Brother Wei is here today, it is better to choose a day than to hit the day, and I will take you over when I change my clothes. ”

A quarter of an hour later.

The two stopped in front of a high-gate compound.

Before he really got close, Wei Tao felt a few vigilant gazes coming towards him.

In the next moment, the aura from which the gaze came suddenly fluctuated violently, and it was no longer the cold calm that had converged like a stubborn stone before.

Wei Tao turned to look and shook his head slightly.

Then, together with the herdsman, he knocked on the closed door.

After a while, there was a soft squeak.

The small door to observe the situation was opened.

Wei Rongxing's hearty laughter sounded, "It turned out to be Xiao Mu, you came at the right time, I just made a big table of dishes, and opened a jar of good wine, just so that the two of us got together to drink a few glasses." ”

He opened the door and glanced at the deer leg that the herd was carrying, "Didn't I tell you before, you just need to come over, there is no need to always bring things." ”

Mu Fang laughed, "Uncle Wei, in addition to these two deer legs today, I also brought a big gift, which is definitely a big gift that you will like when you look at it." ”

"Oh? Then I really want to take a good look at what kind of gift can make ......"

Wei Rongxing said as he looked behind Mu Fang, and his voice stopped abruptly at this time.

He took two quick steps, descended the steps, and muttered to himself, "Brother Tao is back, it's Brother Tao who is back." ”

"When I see my father well, I feel at ease." Wei Tao grabbed Wei Rongxing's arm and slowly walked towards the door.

"Your mother had a dream two days ago, and she has been talking to you since then, saying that she will come back before the New Year, and I don't know if you have grown taller, and if you need to prepare new cotton clothes......

Wei Rongxing chattered, his voice had calmed down, but the expression on his face became more and more joyful.

When he came to the bright lights in the courtyard, he stopped and carefully looked at Wei Tao in front of him.

"Brother Tao came back this time, it seems to be whiter than before, but it's a good thing that he hasn't continued to lose weight."

Mu Fang sent the two deer legs to the kitchen, and when he came out, he immediately said goodbye, no matter how Wei Rongxing kept him, he had to leave, just said that he would invite Wei Tao to eat and drink later, and wash the dust.

The dining room is warm and brightly lit.

Zheng Suyun kept picking up vegetables, and his eyes were full of nothing but his son, and he couldn't tolerate anything else.

"Sister, why haven't you come back yet?" Wei Tao accompanied Wei Rongxing to have a drink and asked.

Zheng Suyun said, "In the afternoon, she went to the Feng Mansion with Xiaoshang, and it seemed that Miss Feng was not feeling well, so she went over to visit with her, and it was time to come back." ”

She glanced outside, "I haven't come back at this time, I should have been left at home to eat by Qu Sheng again." ”

"Your father and I have been going out less recently, and Xiao Hong has gone out a little more, but every time Master Shang personally leads people to follow in secret, in addition to those black-clothed subordinates secretly sent by Brother Tao to protect him, Brother Tao doesn't have to worry."

Wei Tao said, "Father and mother should go out, and it's not interesting to stay at home all the time." ”

Zheng Suyun smiled, "It's mainly because the weather is bad in front of me and it's snowing all the time, or I'll still go to the street to take a stroll, drink tea with people, and then chat." ”

"Speaking of this, when we were sitting in our teahouse, many big families in the city came over, and it seemed that they wanted to tell Brother Tao about their family.

I have seen a few girls, whether it is the appearance and character, or the family style is very good, although your father said don't be your master, but I think if Brother Tao is interested, but you might as well try to contact it, maybe you will like it when you see someone. ”

"I see, I'll talk about it next time."

Wei Tao raised his glass and diverted the topic, "I heard from the head of the herdsman that the family's business is getting bigger and bigger?" ”

"It's really big, but except for our restaurant at the beginning, your mother and I have kept the money from other restaurants and teahouses."

Wei Rongxing took a sip of wine, his face was already slightly red, "We and your eldest sister are fed and clothed every day, and it is actually useless to ask for so much money, if you really toss around indiscriminately, it will be ruining your luck."

What's more, these industries and money are all gathered like water because of Tao Ge'er, and sometimes they can't be stopped.

That's why I told your mother and Xiao Hong a long time ago that some things may be hot in your hands, so don't touch them, so as not to cause trouble for you. ”

Wei Tao sighed secretly, "You can spend the money you want, how comfortable you are, don't think too much about it, father." ”

Zheng Suyun helped the two refill the drinks, "We are very comfortable now, and we know that Brother Tao is working hard outside, but we can't help, all we can do is pray for you every day." ”

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps, Wei Hong quickly pushed open the door, saw the figure sitting in front of the table, and covered his mouth violently to prevent himself from screaming.

In the courtyard outside the door, the figures of several disciples of the Tsing Yi Society quietly disappeared into the darkness.

Before you know it, the night is getting darker.

Wei Tao walked slowly in the courtyard, and Shang Bian followed silently.

"I haven't seen you for a while, and Master Shang's cultivation has improved progress, and even some of it has exceeded my expectations."

Shang Bian bowed, "Mr. Hui's words, since his subordinates were taught by Mr., it is like opening their spiritual skills, and their cultivation progress has improved by leaps and bounds, even I really don't dare to believe it." ”

After reporting in detail about the big and small things that had happened recently, Shang Bian suddenly mentioned the matter of protecting Wei Hong's visit to Miss Feng today.

Wei Tao listened silently, his expression becoming a little serious.

"Sir, Feng Jiedu has made a large number of people in the mansion, and it is normal for a few people with qi and blood deficiency and pale complexion among them.

But because the eldest lady entered the mansion, her subordinates secretly followed, but it turned out that the strangeness of this person's body was very similar to the tragedy caused by the Red Lantern Society in Cangyuan City. ”

After a pause, Shang Bian lowered his voice, "What's more, when our people got closer, they sensed an inexplicable familiarity from that guard, and even the spiritual silk given by Mr. showed a slight fluctuation. ”

"Also, on the way back, the eldest lady also said that Miss Feng, who was originally lively and lovely, is now lying on the bed and almost unable to move, and she is not good-looking."

"I still remember that in the manor outside the city, Miss Feng is also an interesting person."

Wei Tao sighed and looked up at the moonlit and starry night sky, "I know about this matter, Master Shang has worked hard today, go down and have a good rest." ”

Shang Bian took a step back and bowed, "It is an honor for my subordinates to serve Mr. ”

After a few moments, the whole courtyard was quiet again.

Only Wei Tao stood quietly, as if intertwined with the night, without distinguishing from each other.
