The east entrance of the town.

The Confucian priest in the green shirt bowed to the huge bronze bell hanging at the entrance of the town, and said slowly: "The junior Confucian Cui Jue has seen the seniors. ”

The bronze bell was silent, only circles of golden halo continued to swing, gradually touching the sealing light curtain arranged by the Confucian scholars around the ripples, and then canceled each other, the ice and snow melted, or it can be said that the bronze bell did not want to forcibly break the layer of sealing water curtain arranged by the Confucian scholars, and let its own halo be covered and eliminated.

Standing at the door of the thatched hut, the sloppy man and the Confucian man in green shirt glanced at each other, both of them looked at the halo of light, to be precise, it was not simply a golden soft light, but also a collection of countless dense small words into a piece of scripture, the font is still changing, from ancient times to the present Jiuzhou produced in the vast variety of fonts are included, the cycle is changing, the cycle is endless, endless.

After watching it for a long time, the sloppy man Hou Junchen rubbed his eyes, waved his hand and said dejectedly: "If you don't look at it, you don't read it, you know a lot of words, and you can't understand it at all, not only can't you understand it, but you can't remember anything except dizziness, and if you look at it again, I'm afraid you'll have to vomit out the dinner you've just eaten." ”

The sloppy man suddenly shut up after muttering to himself, and after a careful glance, he saw that it did not affect the Confucian in green shirts, so he was relieved.

He simply sat on the bamboo rocking chair behind him, no longer looking at the bronze bell or Cui Jue, but holding his chin and looking around at the isolation seal arranged by the Confucian scholars around him, and after a while, he couldn't help but shake his head, and sighed softly: "Sure enough, in terms of means, it is still more fancy for qi practitioners and divine cultivators, and if you want to rely on martial arts alone, I am afraid that you have to start with Master Zu himself!" ”

About half an hour later, Cui Jue, the Confucian scholar who had been holding his head up, lowered his head again, and then raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, his face a little tired.

Hou Junchen, who had been observing the movements, looked at the Confucian scholar with some curiosity, and said with a smile: "Mr. Cui, I happened to hear a saying before, saying that the content of the Book of Heaven contained in the four ancient artifacts, the more content you can understand at first glance, the closer you are to the possibility of ascending to immortal, it seems that you have understood a lot?" ”

The green-shirted Confucian man stood with his hands in his hands, and when he heard the words, he turned his head and looked at the town watchman, and after a warm smile, he did not answer directly, but turned his head to look at the giant bell again, and then said softly: "On the mountain, down the mountain, in the Xianmen rivers and lakes, there is never a shortage of all kinds of sayings. ”

The voice of his voice sounded a little ethereal to Hou Junchen, making it difficult to figure out whether he was speaking to himself or to the huge bronze bell, but the voice never stopped, and the rest of the content continued.

"Many years ago, there was a scholar in the legendary Middle Earth God Continent who read through the Heavenly Books overnight, and then he went from being just an ordinary Confucian who had no cultivation the day before to a great monk in the Ten Realms of Qi Cultivation after dawn the next day, that is, asking the Dao Realm."

"As soon as this news appeared, almost all the sects, families, and empires above the third grade in Jiuzhou knew everything that they should know in less than three days, and within ten days, all the immortal forces that knew the news sent people to arrive in the Middle Earth Divine Continent."

"Oh? What else is going on? Hou Junchen sat up from the bamboo chair with great interest, looked at the Confucian in green shirts and asked with some curiosity: "More than three grades...... I'm a small family who has been down for too long, and I don't seem to be qualified enough to know that there is such a thing, no wonder I haven't heard of it, so what about later? ”

"Later......" said the Confucian scholar and shook his head with a smile, "when everyone arrived at the place and began to look for someone, they found that the scholar had disappeared, and those who came to find him could not even be sure if this person really existed. ”

"How is this possible?" Hou Junchen was a little surprised, "You three sects don't know where people have gone?" ”

As he spoke, the sloppy man consciously lost his words, so he smiled a little embarrassedly and made up: "Of course, I didn't mean you...... There's a problem, it's just that there shouldn't be no one in Jiuzhou with the ability of the three sects, right? ”

The blue-shirted Confucian didn't seem to care about some of the sloppy man's words, but just smiled and continued to explain: "Actually, you are not the only one who has had this kind of thought, after all, the incident happened in the Middle-earth Divine Continent. ”

"When the news first appeared, the three sects just waited and watched the changes and did not interfere or deliberately verify it, and all the other forces above the three grades in the eight continents sent people to the middle continent and did not stop them, until those people could not find anyone and had the same idea as you and set their sights on the three sects, and the Linyuan School Palace arranged for an inspector to investigate, but the result was still the same, and nothing was found."

"The Linyuan Academy has come forward?" The sloppy man couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, "The reliability of the result is naturally guaranteed, but this result is ...... Something quirky. ”

The green-shirted Confucian nodded and said, "Yes, the result is very strange, but there is no other way, in the end, everyone can only think that the first news is fake, and then it will be dismissed." ”

"Good guy, a fake news has deceived all the immortal sects above the third grade in Jiuzhou, this person who released the news is enough to blow it for a few lifetimes!" The sloppy man grinned, showed a mouthful of big yellow teeth, and said something half-jokingly.

The Confucian scholar in the green shirt smiled, noncommittal, and then said: "In fact, in the past many years, the statement about the four heavenly books has never been broken, some news has been widely circulated, and some news has been short-lived, but in the end, it has been verified as false or difficult to distinguish between true and false, and the statement you mentioned earlier is also one of the news that cannot be resolved......

Speaking of this, he turned his head and looked at the sloppy man with a smile, and said: "Because no one has really read the Book of Heaven, and no one has really ascended to immortality from this, whether it is true or not, I don't know." ”

The sloppy man nodded when he heard this, his face was pensive, but he didn't speak again.

Seeing him like this, the green-shirted Confucian did not continue to talk, but turned his head to look at the bronze bell that was slowly calming down.

It seems that this senior does not plan to show up, and he has no intention of speaking.

——

On the shores of Xuannu Lake.

The poor boy looked at the girl's silver-bell-like voice in surprise and said the words of implicit malice, he had not known that there was a contradiction between the two families.

When the murderous girl saw the surprise on the young man's face a moment ago, she reluctantly retracted her momentum and began to look at the young man and said, "Do you have any other calculations?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Chu Yuanxiao was stunned for a moment, "What does Miss Li mean by this?" ”

"You said that you want to exchange that knife for a helper, and you also want the buyer to accept you into the immortal gate, which is true but not all true." When the girl said this, her eyes were sharp, and they reached the heart of the people.

The young man smiled, did not admit or deny, and asked again, "Why do you say that?" ”

"You deliberately provoked Ke Yuzhen, the purpose was to make him want to target you, and then you found a way to defeat him, in the process, if you are bright enough, you can enter the eyes of many immortals who come to collect apprentices, this is what you really want to achieve, right?"

The pupils of the young man who was pierced with his heart shrank slightly, and he was a little surprised: "I didn't even say anything about the old monkey, but I didn't expect to be seen by you, Miss Li, but can you tell me how you saw it?" ”

Li Yuyao waved her hand casually, pointed to the Xuannu Lake next to her and said: "It's just a guess, a person who can guess that there is something wrong with this Xuannu Lake based on one or two rumors will not be a stupid person, you keep trying to use that knife with me to exchange for a chance to enter the immortal gate, ask me twice why I used a sword to change a knife back, you actually want to know what is so strange about that knife, right?" ”

The boy pursed his lips and did not speak, but he did not deny it either.

"So you're not at all as harmless as you seem." The girl looked at Chu Yuanxiao with a smile, "You have made so many bends in your heart, but you said that you couldn't help but deliberately provoke Ke Yuzhen because you were angry for a while, I don't believe it, and you deliberately looked at every foreigner who came here at the entrance of the town, and you actually wanted to be familiar, and everything you did was to pave the way for the same purpose!" Of course, these reasons are not particularly sufficient, I just guessed casually, but I didn't expect you to admit it directly without even refuting it. ”

After listening to all the girl's analysis, Chu Yuanxiao took a deep breath, smiled bitterly, and said, "I thought that as long as I didn't say it, others wouldn't know, but now it seems that I'm afraid that the old monkey and Mr. Lu have already seen me clearly, but they just didn't say it clearly." ”

When the girl heard this, she only raised her eyebrows and smiled, and jumped on the stone beside her, which was much higher than the ground, and sat down.

The boy saw the girl's movements, so he also took two steps back to find a stone not far away, sat down sideways to the girl, looked at the bright or dark starlight on the lake and was silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke again.

"To be honest, before you arrived, I always thought that the people in this world were like these villagers and neighbors in Yanguan Town, as long as they worry about eating and dressing and making more money every day, they can chat after tea and dinner, Zhang's family is short, who is good and who is not good, it will not be good, in fact, it is very good."

As he spoke, he picked up the pebbles on the shore of the lake, put his arm flat and threw the pebbles into the lake to float in the water, while continuing: "Miss Li, you should have heard of it, there have always been many people who say that I am a relative of the Tiansha Lone Star, I used to believe it a little, so I didn't dare to get acquainted with people, and I didn't dare to go to many places, for fear of being disgusted, and I was afraid that it would really be like the legend and kill others...... I'm a person who has been saved several times, so I know it's not easy to live. ”

"But then suddenly someone told me that I wasn't, I was just being targeted, so the people around me had to keep losing their lives...... When I first heard this, I was a little uncomfortable, very uncomfortable, I didn't understand why people who were standing on high places could take the lives of people like us. ”

Speaking of this, he looked up at the full moon in the sky that appeared and disappeared in the constantly flowing clouds, and smiled meaninglessly: "But when that Ke Yuzhen came to me, I understood when I saw the exact same look in their master and servant...... Growing up, I was the best at seeing people's eyes. ”

The girl listened to the young man's somewhat low tone and glanced sideways in his direction.

The stone on which the boy sat was much lower than the boulder on which she was sitting, so that when she looked over, she could see the top of his head and half of his face flickering in the moonlight.

She was silent for a moment, then said, "Can I think you're explaining this to me?" ”

The young man smiled, he didn't look back at the girl sitting on the high place, just shook his head and said, "Sort of, that's all the talk, it seems unreasonable not to explain." ”

Li Yuyao thought for a moment when she heard this, "Then what if that Ke Yuzhen hadn't bumped into it?" What are you going to do? ”

The young man sat by the lake, and when he heard this, he still didn't look back, but just shook his head, "I don't know, I originally wanted to get acquainted with my face first, and then see if I could get on the line with someone, and I could do business and make other conditions, and the solution was always figured out by people, but I didn't expect that Ke Yuzhen would send a pillow by himself, which is ......"

He looked at the sparkling stars on the surface of the lake, and smiled a little self-deprecatingly, "It's just that this pillow is a little too awkward, and I am not used to pillowing." ”

"Speaking of the people, I don't think you know much about who you're going to be up against."

The girl who spoke didn't delve into what kind of mentality the young man sitting in the distance was to provoke Ke Yuzhen, she just didn't have a reason to make a deal, as for the grievances and entanglements between them, it didn't have much to do with her in the end.

So she naturally changed the topic in another direction and continued: "You are an ordinary person who has not cultivated, and that group of people is from the Immortal Family, the gap between you is immeasurable, which is why I say that you are not wise, you don't even know what kind of means they have." ”

Speaking of the difference in strength, the expression of the young man, who was still a little melancholy, also became serious and serious, and he once again set his eyes on the center of the lake, and involuntarily remembered the huge vertical pupil that he saw in the lake before that made him feel that his soul was trembling.

Then he shook his head and didn't even dare to think about it anymore, laughing at himself and saying, "Miss Li, can you tell me in detail what the cultivation is all about?" To be honest, I'm going to fight someone, but I don't know how good he really is. ”

The girl sitting on the high place behind the young man shook her head and said: "The complete cultivation system is too complicated, one sentence or two can't be said clearly, simply put, the two people in Shuixiu Lake are qi practitioners, I heard that there is a third person who came with them, but I haven't seen it yet, so I don't know who the specific person is, and I don't know what kind of cultivation that person will be." ”

"At present, it seems that Ke Yuzhen is a Qi practitioner in the Three Realms, also known as Xiao Zhoutian, and his ability is relatively not very powerful, but it is only relatively speaking, his perception ability and reaction ability have surpassed ordinary people too much, simply put, if he closes his eyes and lets you sneak attack, you may not be able to hit him."

"That old woman is the Six Realms of Qi Training, also known as Da Zhou Tian, this is much more powerful than Ke Yuzhen, the internal qi is released, and the air is within her ability, and from the last time I fought her briefly, she may also have cultivated some crooked and evil abilities."

Speaking of the old woman who faced the cold, the girl even had a disdainful expression and tone, "It's just a small demon, thinking that a few tricks can be powerful, but it's just wishful thinking." ”

The young man who had been listening hard was a little big-headed, but he still asked again: "What is a Qi Practitioner?" What is the Demon Path? ”

"There are generally three kinds of cultivation paths, martial arts, qi practitioners, and divine cultivation, martial arts mainly practice the physical body, and pursue the immortality of the physical body; Qi practitioners are to collect the qi of heaven and earth for their own use, supplemented by enlightenment, the pursuit of feather ascension, immortality; Divine cultivation is mainly to practice spiritual power, what mouth with the heavenly constitution, words and the law are their means, but this road is a bit special, at present, the most practiced is Confucianism, in addition to Buddhism and Taoism will occasionally have, but people outside the three religions rarely practice this, because it is too difficult. ”

"As for the Devil's Path...... Scold! The girl sneered and said, "You can think that none of them are good things, but compared to the real Ancient Demons, these people are all rubbish!" Although I haven't seen the real Ancient Demon Clan, I heard Master say that these people in the Demon Dao in Jiuzhou now, except for their ancestor who is really powerful, the rest of them are all impure in heart and not good at practicing the Fa, and they are not worthy of lifting shoes for the once real demon seeds! ”

Chu Yuanxiao, who listened to the girl's introduction, grinned when she heard this, and she could tell that she really had a bad impression of that demonic way, after all, it was not this tone when she said that Ke Yuzhen was unpleasant and wanted to cut him before.

The girl didn't care about the change in the boy's expression, but asked rhetorically, "So what are you going to do against them?" Do you have any plans other than looking for help? ”

The young man was silent for a moment, then looked up at the huge lake in front of him, and said with a smile: "Isn't this my here to explore the bottom tonight?" I'm thinking, these long-standing legends in Yanguan Town, I don't know if they can help? ”
