After sending off the sword master, Xu Zhuang was a little annoyed, so he simply asked the boy to close the door, no longer see guests, and returned to the quiet room, so he emptied all distracting thoughts and concentrated on cultivation.

After refining gold and mercury, Xu Zhuang's cultivation entered the realm quickly, and he refined the Ice Pole Yuan Essence, but after half a year of cultivation, the combination of God and Qi has begun to bear fruit, and the Dan power and mana are much more agile between them.

According to Xu Zhuang's own estimates, if he didn't count the cultivation of Taoism, he would really be able to refine the Yuan Infant in about thirty years.

His current Taoist cultivation is not slow, the Five Elements Escape Method, Qianjun Fa Qi and others are only one step away from cultivating to the sixfold realm, and the Void Form Occult Dragon Dao Technique was created by him, and it is even more ......

If the effect of practicing "Yin and Yang Ginseng and Harmony Dao" is gratifying, it seems that it is indeed not empty talk to refine into a primordial infant within thirty years.

Thinking of this, Xu Zhuang thought of the sword master again, since he left that day, it was not until three days ago that the sword master sent a letter to him, asking him to make a decision as soon as possible.

Xu Zhuang is not really a very entangled person, nor is he really ruthless and desireless, but from the heart, this way is not what he wants.

But there is no doubt that it is better to participate in yin and yang with the sword master than to be involved with the family, otherwise he would have refused instead of thinking about it.

In fact, since Xu Zhuang retreated for half a year, he has not opened a mansion to welcome guests, and he has interacted with the family, and his heart has obviously been inclined to the choice of the next step swordsman.

"Since you don't want him to choose, let's reply to Senior Sister as soon as possible." Xu Zhuang made a decision, but his heart was not very light, and he couldn't feel any charm for a while, shook his head, stepped out of the quiet room, and came to the lobby, just in time to see the boy returning from outside the house.

Xu Zhuang's heart turned, and he knew that he should go to the general affairs hall to get the true transmission of the law.

When the boy saw Xu Zhuang out of the customs, he hurriedly came up to salute and reported: "Master, today the little boy went to the Shuwu Hall, but there is still no Yuanyuan Yugui and the sand in the furnace to redeem. ”

Every time I go to get the magic object, I ask if there is Yuanyuan Yugui and the sand in the furnace, which is also a matter ordered by Xu Zhuang, but there has been no news for half a year, and the boy is quite speculative.

Xu Zhuang raised his eyebrows, but said strangely in his heart, the sand in this furnace is a commonly used thing, and there is no reason for long-term or shortage.

Xu Zhuang naturally didn't mean to blame Tong'er, waved his hand to order him to retreat, muttered for a while, and then left the cave mansion and set up a path to the general affairs hall.

Time has passed, the world has changed, and Deacon Zhu, who was familiar with Xu Zhuang in the past, has resigned from the position of the General Affairs Hall, and seems to have received an idle position to teach his children to cultivate the Tao with peace of mind, but now the Deacon on duty in the General Affairs Hall is a deacon surnamed Liu.

Hearing the news of Xu Zhuang's arrival, Deacon Liu hurriedly appeared, welcomed Xu Zhuang to a side hall, and asked Xu Zhuang about his intention after taking a seat.

Xu Zhuang was not polite, and asked directly: "If I want to refine the magic weapon, I need to use the sand in the furnace. ”

"Ouch." Deacon Liu said with a bitter face: "Now that there is indeed a shortage of sand in the furnace in the hall for a long time, please forgive Senior Brother Xu." ”

Xu Zhuang asked: "The sand in the furnace is a commonly used thing, why is it so scarce?" ”

Deacon Liu had a bitter face, looked left and right, waved away a few Taoist children, and whispered: "Senior brother also knows that in my Yunmengze, the water vapor is heavy and the fire gas is light, and there is no fire vein that produces high-grade cinnabar."

"In the past, the cinnabar in the door was mined from outside the sky, and the trade with foreign sects, and later the Chen family and the Tianhuo Yang family in-law were given two volcanoes, and the output of cinnabar was very large, and gradually the supply of cinnabar was completed."

"Later, the Chen family and the Tianhuo Yang family had a very unhappy quarrel, and the two families kept fighting, until they officially fell out not long ago, and the Yang family actually raided and recaptured the volcanic sand field......"

"Huh?" Xu Zhuang's expression moved.

Deacon Liu coughed lightly a few times and said: "In short, since then, the supply of cinnabar in the door has been cut off for a while, although the door has now restarted the sand field and trade outside the sky, but it is still very tight in a short period of time."

"Now the sand in the furnace in the door is Tiangong Palace, Danxia Courtyard, and Fangchen Courtyard...... Scrape it all out, where is the rest allocated to the general affairs hall. ”

"I see." Xu Zhuang groaned: "It's no wonder that Deacon Liu, but the sand in the furnace is indeed what I need, if there is a share of supply in the future, please pay attention to it for me." ”

Deacon Liu hurriedly said, "This is how it should be. After hesitating for a moment, he said cautiously: "In fact, the Chen family has been operating cinnabar for a long time, and there should be a lot of surplus in the door, if the senior brother is really urgent, it is better to ......."

"Oh?" Xu Zhuang glanced at Deacon Liu, and suddenly asked, "Deacon is a relative of the Chen family?" ”

Deacon Liu was stunned for a moment, and replied: "Yes, Neizi is from the Chen family. He hurriedly explained: "Senior brother, don't misunderstand, this is the younger brother's own opinion, because the younger brother heard that the Chen family now has the intention of showing friendship with the senior brother, so he said more." ”

In fact, what he said was true, in the past year and a half, Xu Zhuang did receive a lot of Chen's greetings and letters, but Xu Zhuang has been ignoring them.

Xu Zhuang pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "Senior brother, don't worry, your suggestion is very good, I will go to the Chen family." ”

"Huh?" Deacon Liu was stunned for a moment, then saw Xu Zhuang get up and arch his hand, strode out of the general affairs hall, and turned into a rainbow and left.

——

Chen Zonghe hurriedly entered the main hall, and saw Chen Zong's front sinking like water sitting on the main seat, and several brothers had already taken their respective positions.

Chen Zonghe found a place to sit down, and then heard someone say: "After recapturing the volcanic sand field and sending people to attack Yunsha Tianchi, the Yang clan is too arrogant, do you really think you can compete with my Chen clan?" ”

The other person said coldly: "Old Ghost Yang has inherited the Earth Fire Law Phase, and Yang Huaizun has always believed that the Yuan God is hopeful, can the Yang family's arrogance not be arrogant." ”

Chen Zonghe said lightly: "What about the Earth Fire Law Phase, Old Ghost Yang dares to use the Earth Fire Law to provoke my Chen family, will the sect turn a blind eye to it?" As for Yang Huaizun, I would like to compete with him. ”

Chen Zonghe had a tough attitude, but some people were worried: "The Yang clan is attacking all the properties that my Chen clan has not registered in the sect, and the sect may not be able to deal with this matter." ”

Someone said in a deep voice: "The Earth Fire Law is not the Yang family's thing, why should the fourth brother worry." Besides, the Yang clan has the earth and fire magic phase, so my Chen clan doesn't have the ancestral magic weapon? ”

The man still said: "Having said that, it is not a very important foundation, and there is really no need to fight with the Yang family......

Chen Zonghe raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "It doesn't matter how important it is, it is also an industry that my Chen family has been operating for a long time, how can it be easily let out." ”

Everyone obviously had their own opinions, and for a while there was some confusion in the hall, Chen Zongzheng was sitting on the first seat, and he didn't make a sound, but his eyes suddenly fell outside the temple door, only to see a guard showing half of his body and knocking lightly on the temple door.

Everyone suddenly stopped discussing, and looked at him together, Chen Zongzheng frowned slightly, bowed his head, and the guards stepped into the hall and whispered to him.

Chen Zongzheng frowned, and whispered to himself: "Xu Zhuang ......" waved his hand and ordered: "Please invite him to the Boxin Shipbuilding, and I will receive him personally." ”

The guard replied, "Yes." Hurriedly retreating, Chen Zongzheng looked around and said lightly: "It's just a little bit of a small profit, and it's worth it for you to be so angry, where are you practicing?" Then he waved his sleeves and said: "I still have important things to deal with, the industries outside the door are all sent to the clansmen, and the Taoist soldiers will guard the palace, and the rest will be discussed another day." ”

——

Xu Zhuang followed the guards to a rippling lake, crossed the covered bridge and boarded the covered bridge in the middle of the lake, until the top floor, the guard said: "Please, the head of the house is already waiting inside." ”

Xu Zhuang nodded, walked through the aisle alone, opened the bead curtain, and saw a middle-aged Taoist with good facial features sitting in the room, pouring tea, and noticed that Xu Zhuang had entered, nodded and said, "Senior Brother Xu, please take a seat." ”

Bro?

Xu Zhuang raised his eyebrows and arched his hand: "Master Chen." You're welcome, so you sat down next to Chen Zongzheng.

Chen Zongzheng said: "Senior brother is polite, you and I are the same generation, and we call each other brothers." ”

Xu Zhuang didn't know that the head of the Chen family in front of him was also one of the twelve generations of true inheritance, but even among the same generation, except for a few people who were not far apart in the time of the Jin true transmission, it was difficult to say that there was any brotherhood between the true disciples who were hundreds of thousands of years old.

It was Chen Zongzheng's words that made Xu Zhuang a little surprised, and he sighed for a few breaths before he called: "Senior Brother Chen." ”

Chen Zongzheng nodded, his hands kept moving, he pushed the tea over, and without saying anything else, he said bluntly: "I don't know why my junior brother suddenly came to visit today?" ”

Xu Zhuang had already made preparations, and when he saw that Chen Zongzheng was asking straightforwardly, he didn't bother to bend around and said straightly: "I heard that there is sand left in the furnace in the Chen clan, so I came to see if I could ask for it." ”

Chen Zongzheng seemed to be a little surprised, and the teacup on his lips moved away for a while, and after thinking for a few breaths, he said: "This is a trivial matter, I instruct someone to prepare it for the junior brother." ”

After saying that, he lightly buttoned the table, and a Taoist boy entered the room, Chen Zongzheng gave a few instructions, and the Taoist boy hurriedly took the order and left.

This is much smoother than Xu Zhuang expected, Xu Zhuang's heart turned a few times, and asked without moving: "I came here today, but there is still one thing, senior brother has sent people to my house many times to submit a letter of worship, invitation, I don't know what is the matter of hospitality?" ”

Chen Zongzheng gently stroked his short beard and said slowly: "I want to support my junior disciple on behalf of the Chen clan to obtain the quota opened by the Innate Taisu Realm. ”

Xu Zhuang raised his eyebrows and said, "I don't know what the conditions of the senior brother are?" ”

Chen Zongzheng smiled and said, "I hope to solve the misunderstanding between the Chen family and the junior disciple. ”

"Oh?" Xu Zhuang said with a smile: "It doesn't seem to be a misunderstanding between me and the Chen family. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Zhuang's eyes narrowed, and he continued: "I am disturbed by demons because of this, and my senior brother has lost his younger brother because of this, and he has fallen out with his sister and in-laws, causing the family to suffer losses...... Was it just a misunderstanding between Chan and me? ”

Chen Zong's face changed slightly, put down the teacup, and was silent for a long time before he said: "This is my fault as the head of the family. ”

Xu Zhuang frowned, he knew that the Senior Brother Chen in front of him was indeed not all against his will, but his heart was definitely not so indifferent and absolute, and he couldn't help asking, "Senior Brother thinks such behavior is worth it?" ”

Chen Zongzheng said lightly: "I'm just leading the Chen family to the most correct path." ”

The right path? Xu Zhuang looked at the true biography of the adult baby in front of him who had been a baby for more than 800 years, and there was a shock in his heart.

At this time, the bead curtain rolled, and the Taoist boy carried a bright red and bright cinnabar with spiritual light into the inner room, and respectfully put it on the table.

Neither of them was in a hurry to pay attention to this object, Chen Zongzheng seemed to recover in a moment, and asked again, "What can the junior brother think about?" ”

Xu Zhuang said: "Senior brother's condition, that's all?" ”

Chen Zongzheng affirmed: "That's all. ”

There is no doubt that at this time, the most correct path also appeared in front of Xu Zhuang, but Xu Zhuang sighed lightly and replied, "Senior Brother Xie is kind." ”

Chen Zongzheng's eyebrows twisted, his voice was slightly deep, and he asked, "What does senior brother mean?" ”

Xu Zhuang said unhurriedly: "The previous suspicion of ice release is just a trivial matter, and there is no need for a quota." ”

Chen Zongzheng was surprised: "Isn't the junior brother seeking to enter the Innate Taisu realm to practice now? ”

Xu Zhuang suddenly got up and laughed: "It is indeed the most beneficial choice for me to accept the feelings of my senior brother, but it is not what I want. ”

What is illuminating nature? It is not good, it is not evil, it has nothing to do with whether it is right or wrong, but it just points directly to the heart.

Many people understand this truth, but why are many people unable to truly practice? Without it, just because you are trapped in this mountain.

The correct roads were paved in front of Xu Zhuang one by one, but Xu Zhuang had doubts.

Why are these choices so difficult for me to choose?

Are you afraid that you will be involved in cause and effect, and you will not be able to repay it in the future? No!

I am afraid that my heart will be restrained, and I have already broken off my feelings? No!

I will repay myself, and I will never want to let go of my past suspicions with Chen's Bing? No!

I don't feel that I have much grudge against the Chen family, can't I stand this ceremony? No!

It's all because it's not what I want, it's not what I want.

Yes, no matter what the benefit, cause and effect, is by no means as important as I would like.

"I only take the sand in this furnace, and I will release my suspicions when I am icing, and my little brother will go." After that, he flicked his sleeves, put away the sand in the furnace, arched his hand slightly, and strode out.

"Not what I want?" Chen Zongzheng was stunned, but it had nothing to do with Xu Zhuang.

After getting out of the room, looking up at the blue sky, Xu Zhuang felt a sense of openness in his heart.

With a fixed number in his heart, the troubles of the past were swept away, Xu Zhuang slammed into the clouds, turned into rainbow light and rushed into the clouds, discerning the direction and fled, and it didn't take long for a pillar to be shaped like a sword blade as a steep peak came into view.

"This is Senior Sister Bu's Cave Mansion." Xu Zhuang stopped the light, stood on the head of the clouds, and no longer thought about it, so he flicked his fingers and flew down a rune, and fell to the cliff, submerged in the prohibition.

Xu Zhuang waited for a while, and then saw that the forbidden hole was opened, and an open door was revealed on the cliff, and a sword light rose up in the air, and he arrived in front of Xu Zhuang in a moment, revealing the slender figure of the sword master.

"Senior sister." Xu Zhuang arched his hand slightly.

The swordmaster curled a strand of sideburns with his fingertips, nodded, and said coldly: "Senior brother, you can think about it." ”

Xu Zhuang said: "Yes, the younger brother has been thinking about it for a long time, but he still decided to reject the kindness of the senior sister, please forgive the senior sister." ”

Xu is Xu Zhuang's answer was different from what she thought, the swordsmith's fingertips tightened, his sideburns were straightened, and he said half-loudly: "Why?" ”

Xu Zhuang replied, "This is not what I want. ”

The sword master wondered, "Is it because of my ugly appearance?" ”

“…… Cough. Xu Zhuang never expected the sword master to come up with such a question, so he almost choked up, and hurriedly said: "Senior sister's posture is superior, don't misunderstand." ”

The sword master said again: "Senior brother is ruthless? ”

"That's not the case." Xu Zhuang sighed: "It's just that this behavior is too utilitarian, and it's not what I want." ”

The sword master finally frowned and asked, "Isn't it utilitarian to trade with the family?" ”

Xu Zhuang said: "It is not my wish to trade with the family, after today, the younger brother will release the news and refuse all the invitations of the family." ”

The Sword Master widened his eyes slightly, and asked, "Senior Brother doesn't want to enter the Innate Taisu Realm to cultivate?" ”

Xu Zhuang smiled and said: "Little brother only needs to concentrate on cultivation, if he can succeed, he will succeed, if he can't succeed, he will give up, although the innate Taisu realm is good, he will not mess up his true heart for this, otherwise how can he talk about practice?" ”

The sword master was shocked.

Seeing that the sword master no longer spoke, Xu Zhuang did not say more, he said goodbye, and then cut through the clouds and left.

Only the remaining sword master stood in the wind, and he didn't know what to think.
