Chapter 55: Sit and Talk
Upstairs in Guanlan.
In the private room on the top floor, which was wrapped in enchantments and formations, an old timer in the cultivation world of Dongzhou was reminiscing about the bittersweet ones.
Directly below this private room, next to a seat by the window, a tall and thin old man quietly appeared, sitting calmly by the window.
This old Taoist figure seems to be outside the painting, and it seems to have no cultivation, and it is perfectly compatible with the environment.
When he appeared, there were two maids leading more than a dozen immortals and disciples of the Kui Yuan Sect to pass by here, and no one noticed that there was suddenly another person here.
Lao Dao slowly rolled up the wide sleeves of his robe, and pinched out a pocket teacup the size of a grain of rice in the flower basket.
After the teacup fell on the tabletop, it swelled on its own, and there were shallow water stains at the bottom of the cup, and in a moment, the clear spiritual spring water overflowed the bottom of the cup, from nothing, from less to more, until it reached the edge of the cup.
Lao Dao dipped his index finger in a little rootless spiritual spring, and drew a small circle on the corner of the table, and the water rippled in the circle, slowly revealing the situation in the private room above.
A rough old man with a snow-white beard, a beautiful nun wearing a veil, and a handsome young man sitting in the center...... Within this small circle, the roots and hairs are clearly visible.
This old Taoist was complacent, squinting at Xu Sheng's face, pinching his fingers slightly, and searching for the information of this human race immortal in his vast memory.
Hear and see.
……
"Alas!"
Xu Sheng's old immortal sighed:
"The human race can have today's prosperous world, it is really too much to pay and sacrifice too much.
"After the hundred clans became demon clans, they still have the heart of thieves against our human race, they are no longer able to shake the foundation of our human race, but they still continue to disturb the border of Dongzhou."
Li Ping'an said with a smile: "According to the seniors, back then, the refining method of my Terran Qi Refiner was able to advance by leaps and bounds, thanks to this Yun Zhongzi predecessor preaching for the Terran Qi Refiner for three hundred years?" ”
"Yes, at that time, the three Fu Jin Immortals and the twelve sect master disciples of the Yuxu Palace settled in our human race together, and the most famous of them was that Guangchengzi, who assisted in teaching the Human Emperor Xuanyuan Clan."
Old Immortal Xu Sheng continued:
"Teacher Yun Zhongzi specializes in the way of refining.
"He preached for three years, a total of 81 sermons, spanning more than 300 years, teaching thousands of refining methods and hundreds of forging soul refining methods, which made us feel like an initiation.
"Since then, we have only learned what a spiritual weapon is, and the most precious thing about a spiritual weapon is that its spiritual properties make the instrument itself grow gradually.
"Teacher Yun Zhongzi is an innate being, with profound blessings, and he is the strongest immortal in refining and forging in this heaven and earth!"
Li Ping'an's eyes were a little more admired, but there were more doubts in his heart.
Cloud neutrons.
This was the first time he had heard about the Jade Void Palace's exposition of immortals in the mouth of a Qi Refiner in Dongzhou.
- Before, he had only seen some vague words in the classics.
It's not that the immortals are too low-key, but on weekdays, few people dare to discuss these powers, and most of the records in the classics of the Wanyun Sect are vague.
Li Ping'an took the opportunity to ask his biggest doubt: "Seniors, juniors have read a lot of books in the door, and they are always a little unclear, why did Nanzhou use a large array to seal it?" ”
The Wanyun Sect disciples present all pricked up their ears.
Xu Lao Immortal is quite high-level, and he has also experienced the glorious years of human expansion.
"This, Poor Dao really can't say it for a while."
The old immortal Xu Sheng groaned a few times, thought carefully for a while, and said slowly:
"There are many rumors about the secret news of our human race and the reputation of our Lady of our human race, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false.
"The old man has also heard some things firsthand...... The large array that enveloped Nanzhou was laid by the hands of the Holy Mother, and the Palace of Our Lady was suppressed directly above Nanzhou.
"It is rumored that there are some disagreements between the Holy Mother and the three Taoist ancestors."
"Disagreement?"
Li Ping'an was in good spirits, and his eyes were full of light.
The gossip of the master-level master!
Xu Sheng's old immortal scolded with a smile: "If you haven't obtained the immortal Dao fruit, after all, you are just a heaven and earth ant, this kind of heaven and earth event, when you ask about immortality or reach the realm of heavenly immortals, it is not too late to care!" ”
"The juniors are just a little confused."
Li Ping'an smiled:
"There is a saying in ancient books that the cultivation of living beings is nothing more than imitating the operation of heaven and earth.
"So the younger generation thinks that if I can learn more about this world, I can reduce the bottleneck tomorrow."
"Hahaha! Don't ask! There are some things that you can't say, you can't say, and if you say them, they won't do you any good in your practice. ”
Xu Sheng patted Li Ping'an's shoulder, took a drink from the wine glass, and said with a smile:
"Let's talk about this branch of the Casting Cloud Hall!
"Why don't I send you back to Wanyun Sect later, and talk to your father about this matter by the way?
"My few disciples who are not successful are standing on the top of the mountain every day in the direction of Wanyun Sect and looking forward to it, and they are all almost stunned!"
Li Ping'an hurriedly said: "Don't dare to work the seniors, after the juniors return to the mountain, they will definitely tell their father about it!" ”
On the side, Elder Yan Sheng spoke out to relieve the siege: "Senior, don't worry, I, the outer sect of Wanyun Sect, will also discuss this matter carefully, and strive to go to Kui Yuanzong and his party as soon as possible." ”
"Okay, okay, then I won't mention it."
Xu Sheng waved his hand, looked outside the private room, and said with a smile:
"Before I come over, let them call a few disciples to come over and chat with a few of your young disciples and discuss the Tao, don't think about it, just want to let the young disciples of the two sects get closer and closer.
"Peace, I'm going to let them in?"
Li Ping'an hurriedly said: "The seniors don't want to torture the juniors anymore, you can arrange it at will." ”
Xu Sheng shouted: "Come in!" Don't dry out outside! ”
The formation enchantment of the elegant room fell, and a few immortals and several disciples came in from the door, and they first saluted Xu Sheng, and then saluted everyone in the Wanyun Sect.
The private room was lively again, and the table became crowded.
The immortals from Kui Yuanzong are all elders of the outer gate, and they have a deep friendship with Elder Yan Sheng and others;
And these three disciples sent by the Kui Yuan Sect made Li Ping'an ...... Mu Ningning, who was beside him, was vigilant.
Without him, the Kui Yuan Sect sent all female disciples, each of whom has the appearance of a sinking fish and a goose, a shy flower in the closed moon, and they are all immortal seedlings with outstanding qualifications, cultivating in the realm of refining the void and conforming to the truth.
These three female disciples are either generous and well-behaved, or they are small and jade, and they want to talk, or they are eccentric and wise.
Mu Ningning had no choice but to hold her head high and smile and add wine to her senior brother's dishes.
Li Ping'an chatted with Xu Sheng's seniors for a while, turned his head and saw the pile of mountain and sea delicacies that had become a foot-high, and frowned and glanced at the junior sister beside him.
Mu Ningning, who had taken off the veil, raised his eyes to look at the ceiling, with an expression of 'none of my business'.
Li Ping'an ate a few large mouthfuls of dishes, and continued to chat with his predecessors about refining tools to enhance his understanding of refining tools.
The atmosphere of the banquet was happy for a while.
Yu Yingshu's personality is a bit dull, and at the moment she is just eating and drinking;
Gu Tingcheng showed the social talent of Wanyun Sect's sword cultivator, chatting and joking with several senior sisters and sisters of Kui Yuan Sect, with witty words and laughter.
The immortal disciples of the two sects didn't know, and there was an old Taoist downstairs who was listening and watching.
Lao Dao saw that there was no fun in this place, and he already had a sense of leaving.
This Terran Heavenly Immortal, who boasted that he was his 'Registered Disciple', although his words were exaggerated, they were barely counted as facts.
"At that time, the poor Dao did preach for three hundred years for the Terran refiners."
Lao Dao shook his head with a smile, drank the spiritual spring in the cup, and immediately disappeared and returned to the cave.
Suddenly, I heard a few immortals muttering nearby, saying:
"Senior Xu Sheng and Li Ping'an of Wanyun Sect are here, they are in the private room on the top floor, and they seem to be talking about refining weapons."
"Refinery? Eighty percent is related to the large amount of cheap magic weapons of Wanyun Sect. ”
"When they talk about this, they all ask the maid to come out...... Uncle Shi has an order to let our disciples have a discussion with those Wanyun Sect disciples, especially Li Ping'an, thinking that it is to save face in Wanyun Sect. ”
"These four disciples of Wanyun Sect are in the limelight at the training conference, hum!"
"But aren't we bullying them by doing this? What we brought were all seedlings from the front of the inner door preaching hall, and they were all in the realm of heaven and earth, and they were not far from becoming immortals. ”
"These disciples of Wanyun Sect were just lucky at that time, they had a special magic weapon rewarded by their Wanyun Sect, and they also used a lot of drugs...... The fish and shrimp in a radius of hundreds of miles in that sea are still unconscious. ”
"Immortal sects are not allowed to use force against each other, then it will be done!"
"Send a few people to quietly clean up the top floor, put away the screens in each private room, make it brighter, and then invite some good things to cultivate immortals."
"I'm going to make the four of them look good today!"
The voices of the immortals went their separate ways.
The old man sitting by the window groaned slightly, and there seemed to be fun in the back......
Look.
Lao Dao pinched out two pocket dishes from the flower basket beside him and placed them in front of him, the plates swelled, and fried spirit melon seeds popped out of the bottom.
Lao Dao wiped off the circle just now, dipped his fingertips in water, and drew a larger circle, taking in the entire top-level layout.
"Just wait and see if the young people are diligent in enlightenment now."
……
Upstairs in the private room.
As soon as there was movement outside, Elder Yan Sheng and Old Immortal Xu sensed the abnormality.
Xu Sheng glanced at the Kui Yuanzong immortal on the side, and the immortal immediately got up and went to guard outside the formation of the private room.
Elder Yan Sheng spoke to the four disciples of Wanyun Sect:
"Guanhaimen has come here, don't worry, they don't dare to do it, my Wanyun Sect has two heavenly immortals waiting outside the city, and they can enter at any time."
The original relaxed and pleasant eating pleasure immediately became a solemn atmosphere.
The Kui Yuanzong Immortal quickly told Xu Sheng.
Xu Sheng said with a smile: "Ping'an, a few elders from the outer gate came to the Guanhai Gate, and brought a few people from the Heaven and Earth Bridge Realm, saying that they were coming to talk to the disciples of the Wanyun Sect...... What do you think? ”
Li Ping'an didn't know why: "On the road? ”
"On the Tao is Wen Dou," a female disciple of Kui Yuan Sect explained, "If it is a point of discussion, it means that several disciples sit opposite each other, and one person answers the question." ”
Li Ping'an nodded slowly.
How could he not know what the Dao was, but was just surprised by the stinginess of the immortals of Guanhaimen.
Xu Sheng sighed with a smile: "It should be, this time the disciples of the six sects have experienced, and the four of you have won the championship have made them not very happy, they have found a few powerful disciples to come over, and they want to earn a little face to go back." ”
Gu Qingcheng couldn't hide things in his heart, and snorted coldly: "Can't Guanhaimen lose so much?" ”
Elder Yan Sheng's expression was a little ugly, and he snorted, "Ping'an, go talk about them!" ”
Li Ping'an's hand shook and he almost kowtowed to the elder.
That's a quasi-immortal of the Heaven and Earth Bridge Realm, he is a disciple of the Refining Void Realm, what to talk about!
The old immortal Xu Sheng on the side wondered: "Peace is still good? ”
"It's not good, it's not good," Li Ping'an said busily, "The disciple is just bored to practice the refining instrument on weekdays, and only occasionally discuss the Tao with the master." ”
Elder Yan Sheng also said: "Poor Dao is really dizzy by them, and peace is indeed not in front of people. ”
Mu Ningning slapped the table and stood up: "Elder, I'll go and talk to them!" ”
"Hey!"
Li Ping'an hurriedly pulled Mu Ningning to sit down:
"Senior sister, you are shallow and weak in Taoism, and there are many sophistries when you talk about Taoism, and it is very easy to damage your Taoist heart."
Old Immortal Xu smiled: "Why don't I lose my temper and scold them all." ”
"How can you support your predecessors?"
Elder Yan Sheng hurriedly said:
"They are looking for my Wanyun Sect, and if such a thing spreads, I will definitely be laughed at by the immortals of Dongzhou for my incompetence of the Wanyun Sect."
Several Wanyun Sect immortals were worried:
"Why don't we go?"
"If we leave like this at this moment, wouldn't it be smiling and generous?"
Gu Qingcheng pursed his lips and clenched his fists, got up and said to Elder Yan Sheng: "The disciples are willing to discuss with them the method of cultivation and the way to become an immortal!" ”
The immortals of the Wanyun Sect each groaned softly.
Gu Tingcheng was the highest cultivation level among the four disciples present, and if he wanted to take over today's Dao situation, he would naturally be the most suitable.
But there is a big difference between the realm of heaven and earth bridge and the realm of truth......
"It's fine."
Elder Yan Sheng thought for a moment and said slowly:
"They Guanhaimen provoked one after another, and I, Wanyun Sect, will definitely find them to talk to them later.
"The four of you don't have to have any burden today, just see the world from the outside and gain some knowledge, and later they will talk about the Tao, and they don't have to care if they win or lose.
"The immortals of this Guanhaimen are actually a little different from the immortals of other sects, probably related to the atmosphere in their sect, and they are all quite competitive."
Li Ping'an nodded with a smile, seeing that the elder had made up his mind, he didn't need to say much.
He quietly took out a jade talisman, wrote a few words in it, and handed it to Gu Qingcheng.
Gu Tingcheng took the jade talisman and looked at it, frowning slightly.
Written in it are several monastic questions, along with the answers to them.
Gu Tingcheng naturally knew that this Senior Brother Ping An was hidden and unfathomable, but he really didn't expect it......
He couldn't understand the answer at all!
Does Senior Brother Ping An have any simple questions, if the other side answers them, he may not understand!?
At this moment, I suddenly heard a few clear voices outside the screen:
"Guanhaimen disciple, Dugu Mei!"
"Guanhaimen disciple, Murong You!"
"Guanhaimen disciple, Ximen Dui!"
"Guanhaimen disciple, Dongfang Xiang!"
The four of them said in unison: "I have long admired the art of controlling the clouds of the Wanyun Sect and the way of the Wanyun Sect, and I heard that the immortal disciples of the Wanyun Sect are here, so I take the liberty to disturb today, and I am willing to discuss a thing or two with the immortal disciples of the Wanyun Sect!" ”
Here it comes.
Xu Sheng pressed Li Ping'an's arm and said, "Ping'an, if you are disgusted with this matter, the old man will send them away for you." ”
Li Ping'an was also a little helpless in his heart.
He knew that the old immortal beside him just wanted to take the opportunity to sell his favor to his father.
Li Ping'an really doesn't understand what this Guanhaimen thinks up and down, it's like being sick, he has to compete and compete, he has to fight to win or lose.
Shouldn't cultivating immortals be peaceful and pure, shouldn't it be up to who can live forever in the end?
The experience of the East China Sea was originally a battle of will, and it made him worry about a big demon bull demon in vain, and now he is engaged in this kind of argument and literary fight!
However, this was just a few words of Li Ping'an's heart, he was silent on the surface, and quickly made Dao Xin quiet, and there was a little thought in his eyes.
Gu Qingcheng had already stood up and shouted steadily: "Elder, Senior Brother Ping'an, I'll go meet them for a while!" ”
Elder Yan Sheng said, "Ping'an and Ning Ning stay, you two go." ”
Yu Yingshu got up with the order.
The three female disciples of Kui Yuanzong also said, "Let's go and give Senior Brother Gu a strong reputation!" ”
Gu Qingcheng held his head high, exuded sword intent to surround himself, and took Yu Yingshu and the three Kuiyuan Sect Sisters to step out of the enchantment of the elegant room.
As soon as he went out, Gu Qingcheng was a little weak.
The screens were removed at some point, and the entire top floor became transparent, with semi-airtight wooden walls on all sides, and hundreds of local monks floating outside to watch the bustle.
In the center of the top floor, four Guanhaimen disciples wearing orange Taoist robes lined up, and made a gesture to Gu Qingcheng at the same time, and sat cross-legged in a neat manner, three people closed their eyes and concentrated, and one raised his hand to invite.
"Fellow Daoist, please take a seat!"
Gu Qingcheng's sword heart was horizontal, and he hid the jade talisman given by Senior Brother Ping An in his sleeve and stepped forward.
When he saw the Haimen disciple, he suddenly opened his eyes: "Daoist friends didn't respond, why did you take a seat?" ”
Gu Tingcheng frowned and said, "Sit down first and then respond, why not?" ”
The disciple said: "Heaven and time are in order, the Tao has the first, and there is no distinction between the first, how can you become immortal?" ”
"Me!"
It's hard.
Gu Qingcheng and Yu Yingshu's fists were hard.
Both of these people are temperamental people who like to fight, and now they want to change Wendou into martial arts.
Gu Qingcheng was originally ready, according to the teachings of Senior Brother Ping'an's Jade Fu, he directly asked them a few mysterious questions, and just stumped them, but he didn't expect to be robbed......
Gu Qingcheng said: "Where does the Tao come from? ”
Dugu Mei said: "Daoist friends are wrong, there is no high or low Tao, it is because the three thousand avenues can be channeled, the Tao has a sequence, and it is because there is a universe first and then all the Dao Fang is revealed." Moreover, the enlightenment has already been successive, and only then can there be masters and apprentices, so how can Taoist friends ask such a rhetorical question, how to solve this 'Tao in the heart'? ”
Gu Qingcheng kept thinking, standing there and groaning.
Don't talk nonsense, with so many people around listening, whether you can convince everyone is the key.
Gu Qingcheng suddenly felt a sense of suffocation that had nowhere to be used, and Dao Xin even felt slightly depressed.
If I continue like this, I am afraid that it will damage the Dao heart......
Seeing this, a female disciple of the Kui Yuan Sect was about to open her mouth to relieve the siege of Gu Qingcheng, when a chuckle suddenly came from behind.
"The Tao is in the heart, but the vain words, the Tao is in the heaven and the earth, and the first Taoist friends have been born for a long time, whether it exists in their own hearts, and what is the key to the Tao?"
Gu Tingcheng, Yu Yingshu, and the three female disciples turned around at the same time.
Li Ping'an carried a pot of immortal brew and a wine glass, turned the screen, and walked forward.
