In the vast sea of bamboo, two old men, one with a bamboo cane, amiable, complemented by the surrounding bamboo forest, and the other old man had white hair, dressed in fairy Taoist clothes, fairy wind and bones, the two talked, like a fairy among the immortals.

Shen Changsheng has been observing the two of them, and there is a young man's longing for the rivers and lakes in his eyes.

For Shen Changsheng, his rivers and lakes are like the rivers and lakes of young people in Bai Juan's pen, masters, adventures, and adventures follow one after another, and all kinds of strange strangers in the rivers and lakes come one after another, compared with the rivers and lakes experienced by Li Xuandu, there are many fewer swords and swords, sophistication, life and death, and unpredictable people's hearts.

Although Shen Changsheng has lived in the Taiping Inn since he was a child, he is used to seeing all kinds of characters coming and going, fighting and killing, but it was not until he left the protection of Shen Shopkeeper and Mrs. Lu that he really left the inn and really set foot in the rivers and lakes. However, his luck was a little too good, when he first came out of the rivers and lakes, although he accidentally came to a hero to save the beauty and was chased by Qingluanwei, but he was lucky to meet the old heavenly master Zhang Jingxiu, and was taught the "Taishang Dan Sutra", and under the guidance of the old heavenly master, he stumbled all the way to Shuzhou, and saw the suzerain of Miaozhen Sect, Wanshou Zhenren.

Although because of the "Four-Six Dispute", Wanshou Zhenren and the old heavenly master had a very unpleasant quarrel, but after all, they have not completely torn their faces, since it is the dignified heavenly master who personally retired the book, this face still has to be given, so Wanshou Zhenren took action to cure the "ghost curse" in Shen Shuangmei, and let the two stay in the "Qingcheng" temporarily.

Soon after, Zhang Haishi also arrived. If you talk about the speed of travel, the two of them naturally can't be compared with Zhang Haishi, but Zhang Haishi's Shuzhou itinerary is not just as simple as visiting Miaozhenzong, in fact, Miaozhenzong is already the end of Zhang Haishi's trip to Shuzhou, and after leaving Miaozhenzong, he will return to Qingweizong.

From the conversation between the two, Shen Changsheng gradually learned that the purpose of Zhang Haishi's trip was to make an elixir called "Five Poisons True Pill", the materials used were very precious, and some of them were only produced by the evil sects, Zhang Haishi spent several years of hard work to refine this elixir, and the Taiping money spent for this was even more staggering, not to mention the various favors required in it, which was really immeasurable, and finally handed over to Wanshou Zhenren to refine, and today Zhang Haishi came to take the pill.

Wanshou Zhenren asked, "Who is this Dan for?"

Zhang Haishi said: "It was originally for my hard-working junior brother, but now he has his own way, so it's good if he doesn't owe me this favor." ”

Wanshou Zhenren asked, "How do you say this? Do you two still want to divide each other?"

Zhang Haishi sighed: "My brother is clear about settling accounts, and there is an old man above, many things are not so easy to distinguish, but this 'Five Poisons True Pill' can also come in handy for other purposes, and it will not be wasted." ”

Wanshou Zhenren: "It's good to spend so much energy and keep it for generations." ”

Zhang Haishi laughed at himself: "I have neither apprentices nor children and nephews, I am alone, who will I pass it on? Is it to follow me into the grave, and then wait for the next generation of boys to dig my grave and get a great chance of adventure?"

Wanshou Zhenren laughed it off.

They are not scattered people, they have a large number of disciples behind them, and they don't have to worry about no one to inherit this wealth.

Zhang Haishi sighed softly: "Life is less than 100, and I often have a thousand years of worries. ”

Wanshou Zhenren smiled again.

For others, it may be that life is less than 100, but for him, it is not suitable.

followed by a long silence, even if Zhang Haishi occasionally spoke, it was concise and unpredictable.

Shen Changsheng successively heard the words of Li Xuandu, Li Yuanying, the old man, Gu Yusheng, Empress Dowager Xie, the fifth and sixth children.

During this period, Wanshou Zhenren, as the local master, has always been silent, but looking at his expression, he should have heard all these words of Zhang Haishi in his heart.

Shen Changsheng remembered that at the inn in Luzhou, Mr. Li, who took Zhou Shuning away, once said that his name was Li Xuandu, and said with a smile: "My name is Xuandu, and your name is Changsheng, in the final analysis, it means the same thing, we both want to live longer in this world, so the two of us are still on the same road." Shen Changsheng was extremely impressed.

At this moment, Zhang Haishi turned his head to look at Shen Changsheng: "Haven't asked Xiaoyou's name and surname yet?"

Shen Changsheng suddenly became frightened, how could he be worthy of the word "little friend" of the old-timers? ”

Then he scratched his head again, and said with some embarrassment: "There is no table." ”

Zhang Haishi smiled and asked again, "Who are you?"

Shen Changsheng was puzzled: "Who is Shen Wuwu?"

Zhang Haishi smiled: "You don't know Shen Wuwu?"

Shen Changsheng shook his head honestly, and then said, "But I know Mr. Li Xuandu, he has been to our inn before. ”

Wanshou Zhenren said softly: "I don't know the true face of Lushan, only because I am in this mountain." ”

Shen Changsheng is not a stupid person, he has also been taught literacy by the shopkeeper and Mrs. Lu since he was a child, he has heard this poem, and his face is stunned: "Shen Wuwu should be the shopkeeper Shen, right?"

Zhang Haishi stretched out his hand and tapped his forehead, and said with a smile: "What do you think? If it weren't for Shen Wuwu's face, how could Zhang Jingxiu teach you the 'Taishang Dan Sutra'? If there was no such relationship, why would Shen Yuanzhai give up his old face to wait for your Mr. Li, and then ask him to help Zhengyizong pass the word." ”

The more Shen Changsheng listened, the more confused he became. What Shen Yuanzhai and who is Zhang Jingxiu? Could it be that little Taoist boy? What else is it called asking Mr. Li to help Zhengyizong spread the word?

Zhang Haishi suddenly couldn't hide his tiredness, held the bamboo cane with both hands, and said softly: "After taking the pill, I will go back." ”

Wanshou Zhenren was slightly surprised: "So urgent?"

Zhang Haishi looked to the east and muttered: "Although I don't want to pay attention to those bad things that are smoky and miasma, but as the fourth person, I must definitely fight outright, if I don't go back, he is afraid that he will be alone." ”

Wanshou Zhenren said softly: "The key lies in the Great Sword Immortal. ”

Zhang Haishi didn't answer this conversation, turned his head to look at Shen Shuangmei, who had been silent, and said: "As far as I know, after the first battle of Luohuatai in Jinling Mansion, the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau and the Jiangnan Governor fled in a hurry, and the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau has already existed in name only. ”

Shen Shuangmei raised his head suddenly, and his eyes lit up.

Zhang Haishi looked at Wanshou Zhenren and said: "Now the dispute between the imperial party and the later party is becoming more and more intense, otherwise the third child would not have hurried to the imperial capital at this time, but the imperial party is not so easy to handle, and now there are six righteous sects behind the imperial party, do you say yes or no? ”

Wanshou real people are expressionless.
