Hua Lanting smiled and said: "I am the second son of the Marquis of Qingyuan, so I am a fake. "But I said in my heart, it can't be fake, it can't be fake, but no one in this world can exchange it.

The old man's gaze was shocked, his sect and the Central Plains Songmur Mountain Yiwei Temple are called the contemporary martial arts Taishan Beidou, and he himself also boasted of being one of the best masters in the world, but just now he actually felt that the aura of Hualan Court was unfathomable, only higher than him, not lower, so he still tried it with a fantasy sword after recognizing the three great arts of Yue Hou.

Since he practiced the Illusion One Sword fifty years ago, no one has ever been able to break this style with a head-on move, and the young man in front of him is obviously only in his twenties, how can he believe that this person is the son of the Marquis of Qingyuan. Could it be that a hermit master possessed it, and only this kind of thing in the legend can explain the strange thing in front of him.

He settled down, and said: "Little Hou Ye knows the secret language and Hou Ye's martial arts, it should be true, but I am rude." It's just that the little marquis is young but has great skills, which is really unimaginable to me. ”

Hua Lanting saw his confusion and replied: "This son has another adventure, it is not strange that he cultivates like this, but I see that you are only one line away from opening up the second vein of Rendu, but this world lacks spiritual energy, and the life span of a person is endless, and it is not just hard work to succeed." ”

"In addition, although your method of clearing the three levels is correct, it's a pity that your spiritual cultivation is insufficient, and you can't break through the pass of the big bend in the tail lull acupoint, and then you have to go another way, but you are on a detour, so you can't clear the customs all the time. Now you have a dull pain in your back from the diaphragm to the liver, gallbladder, spleen and stomach, Sanjiao Yu, kidney Yu to Qi Haiyu, and large intestine Yu every fifteenth day of the new year?"

The old man was taken aback when he heard this, this was his personal practice secret, and hurriedly said, "How do you know?

He saw that Hua Lanting was able to know his problem at a glance, and even more convinced that this person was possessed by a master outside the world, and unconsciously used honorifics.

You must know that he has been trapped in the current realm for decades, although his cultivation martial arts have become more and more proficient with the passage of time, but he has not been able to break through the last barrier by all means, and now listening to Hua Lanting's tone, he seems to see hope, how can he not make his heart fluctuate, and even his tone trembled.

Although there is a precedent for breaking through and ascending in his classics, due to his different personal qualifications, no one has attained enlightenment for thousands of years, and several generations of ancestors have died of hatred.

Hua Lanting smiled slightly, this knowledge is not a secret in the Freedom Vientiane Gate, but it is a big problem in this world.

He said to the old man: "It's not that there is no way, it's just that I haven't practiced it yet, and if you try it with a variety of methods, the meridians and acupoints are already damaged, and you need to take time to repair them before you can move forward." ”

The old man is nearly 100 years old, the so-called old man has become a refinement, since he believes that Hua Lanting is possessed by a master, he doesn't care about the question of seniority, and then he said with a deep salute: "Please also teach me, I don't know what you want with your current identity, as long as there is a little old man who can do it, I will go all out." ”

Hua Lanting didn't break his guess, but said: "I can teach you the method of repair, but I am now the prince of the Hou Ye, you can tell me what is going on here." ”

The old man replied respectfully: "I am a disciple of the Northern Kunlun of the Daomen, the Taoist number is Yuanmiao, the North Kunlun Phantom Sky Mountain and the Central Plains Songmur Mountain Yiwei Temple are called the supreme martial arts. Northern Kunlun is dedicated to cultivation and has never asked about the world, but many years ago, I owed Hou Ye a great favor for some reason, so I promised to protect this treasure for him. ”

"At first, I was unwilling, because this place is not as rich as the spiritual energy of North Kunlun, which is not conducive to cultivation. But after more than 20 years, I have figured it out. The first is that I also know that there is a problem with my method, even if I cultivate in North Kunlun, there may not be results, and the second is that I have been obsessed with the way of casting since I was a child, and I have been cultivating here for many years, but I have made rapid progress in this regard, and I think that there is no one in the world who can compare with me. ”

"I've got the news that Hou Ye was falsely imprisoned, but you came here to take out the treasure and rescue Hou Ye?"

Hua Lanting said: "Has the news already been transmitted? What are the new developments now? I haven't thought about this matter yet, but I'm not in a hurry for the time being, I need to make a decision before I act." ”

Yuan Miao said: "I am a node in the connection between Northern Kunlun and the world, so I know a lot of news. ”

"The latest situation is that Emperor Qingyun issued an order to send King Beiyan to take over the Pingnan camp, and all parties in the Dust Dynasty began to jump out, some people took the opportunity to impeach Hou Ye, and there were also manpower to protect him, but Emperor Qingyun was noncommittal, and Hou Ye should not worry about his life for the time being. ”

Hua Lan Tingqi said: "Prince Beiyan, Emperor Qingyun's half-brother, it is said that he had no real power before, and Ping Suli was just an idle prince with a cage and a bird. ”

Yuan Miao said: "That's true, but the king of Beiyan is known as a rich country, he doesn't care about political affairs, but he is very keen on business, and his business is all over the dynasty and the mainland. He and his uncle Dongqing, who was also a concubine, were proficient in business and pursued martial arts, and the world guessed that they were all to avoid the suspicion of Emperor Qingyun, so they stayed away from government affairs. ”

"Haiqing Heyan, Guotai Min'an. Now the four kings of the Chen Dynasty who have been entitled as adults, in addition to the King of Beiyan and the King of Dongqing, the younger brother of Emperor Qingyun, King Xitai, participated in political affairs as the leader of the Hou Party, stationed in Western Xinjiang, King Nan'an died early, and his son King Nan'an was a well-known centrist, stationed in the Eastern Regions, and the north was the three dynasties veteran Tong Guogongwei Bian, so the appointment of King Beiyan to take over Southern Xinjiang was indeed unexpected. ”

"Emperor Qingyun is getting older, many things are no longer controlled by the Hou Party, and he is becoming more and more sacred, this time the sudden fall from grace of the Hou Ye and the King of Beiyan are unpredictable, and it is really hard to say how the pattern of the Dust Dynasty and the mainland will change in the future. ”

Hua Lanting glanced at Yuan Miao: "Didn't you say that Northern Kunlun doesn't ask about the world, why do you seem to care about these things?"

Yuan Miao replied: "There is no way, the trees want to be quiet and the wind does not stop, and North Kunlun does not care about mundane matters, but all forces will always come to the door to seek support, so as a secret stronghold outside, I will send information to the door for reference." ”

Hua Lanting nodded: "You can talk about these later, I'm very interested in your casting method." In addition to being exquisitely cast, your short sword can also contain the cold air, and your craftsmanship is indeed unparalleled in the world. ”

Hua Lanting's question also has a deep meaning, he has felt the benefits of the magic weapon many times in the process of cultivation, and has already come up with the idea of going to Dong Ming Peak to learn the refining weapon, just take this opportunity to get in touch with some basic knowledge, and he is indeed surprised by Yuan Miao's casting skills.

When it came to casting, Yuan Miao Lao Dao couldn't help but change his humble posture, and his eyes lit up, as if he had regained the brilliance of a generation of grandmasters.

Seeing that Hua Lanting was interested in this, he knew in his heart that there was no free lunch in the world, and if he wanted to get a breakthrough, he had to pay something. So he actively introduced:

"Speaking of casting, my conceit about it is still above martial arts. Like this cold void sword, in addition to the exquisiteness of the material and craftsmanship, it also needs to regularly absorb the cold air of the cold ice in the depths of the North Kunlun Mountains for thousands of years in order to play its role, and the weapons that can be compared to it in the world are really not many except for the ancient relics. If you want to dabble, I'll give you all of it. ”

After a pause, Yuan Miao sighed again and said, "I really hope that you can inherit my mastery, even if you don't teach me the method of breakthrough." In today's troubled times, there are really not many juniors who are willing to learn art with peace of mind, either they just want to eat with a mouthful of food, or they are reckless and difficult to understand the mystery, I don't want this skill to be self-defeating. ”

Hua Lanting's heart moved, before in the Three Xuan Five Elements Heaven, the machine spirit clone had said: He will meet in the future, and then discuss. And remember, inheritance, inheritance, inheritance, only for innovation. It is better to listen to Yuan Miao's opinions, and in the future, I may have some opinions when discussing with the machine spirit.

So he humbly asked: "The world's knowledge, different paths to the same end, about inheritance and innovation, I don't know if you can teach me?"

Yuan Miao arched his hand: "There is no elder and younger, the master is the first, you are better than me in cultivation, but on the way to cast, I have some experience to communicate with you." ”

"I myself divide the technique and the art, the art and the Tao into several different levels. The first is a slave, which is an involuntary work, which is hard and has to endure the instruction and supervision of others; the second is an apprentice, who voluntarily learns but has limited ability; the third is a craftsman, who has become proficient in a craft and technology, and can make a living; fourth, he is a teacher, who has mastered certain laws and can convey them to his apprentices; fifth, he can be called a writer, who has formed his own system of ideas and techniques, and has his own school; and finally, he is a saint, who is proficient in affairs, has mastered all things, and is selfless, and can be passed on to future generations. ”

"I feel that I can be called everyone on the way to casting, but there is still a considerable distance from being sanctified. ”

"Speaking of inheritance, in my opinion, there is an essential difference between inheritance and copying, inheritance is not the same as copying, inheritance is transmission and inheritance, I think there are about three steps. ”

"The first step, which I call mindfulness, is that people must have the right thoughts and concepts. What is mindfulness? It is less desire, more purity, and only purity can be the first step in inheritance. ”

"For example, I am standing here and talking to you calmly, but I have not exceeded this range in the same place, if this place is raised to a height of fifty or five hundred zhang, and I am still given such a piece of land, then if I talk to you again, I am afraid that my feet will be weak, and I will not be able to stand. Why? Because I have a desire—a desire to survive, I know the danger, and I am afraid. Then when the desire is greater than my desire to speak merely, I can't speak well. ”

Therefore, it is said that there is a desire to do it or not, and there is no desire to have a thought to get up and act. The first step in the lineage is to have a thought, but the thought has to be pure. ”

"The second step I call the wisdom of wisdom, the wisdom of wisdom and the consideration of consideration. There are two parts of wisdom, one part is called the big opening and closing, and the other part is called the pondering and grinding. ”

"What is the reason why we can't see the stars during the day? Because people are standing in light, they can't see the stars, and the stars exist. The Taoist saying is that knowing its white guards its black, and knowing its male guarding its female. In terms of concept, we need to be open and inclusive, just like playing chess, we must have an overall view and pattern, otherwise we will take care of the head and the tail, and in fact, we need to take care of the head and tail. And in the subtlety of one thing, it should be meticulous - careful verification and meticulous consideration of any specific method, technique and detail. ”

"The ancestors have two words that are very good, respect and fear, people should be in awe. Confucius Xiansheng said in the Analects, "Do I eat meat?" I eat it, but I can't pick the eggs in the bird's nest, and I can't eat the pregnant mother bird. Do we eat fish, but our nets must not be too dense, not too thin, and we must not spare even small fish. This is to have reverence for all things in heaven and earth."

"The last step is inheritance, we must learn to be rational, rationality is not extreme, the most rational way of ancient wisdom is to take both ends and cling to it, this is the core of the idea of the mean. ”

Hua Lanting was listening with relish, and was about to continue the discussion, when there was a sudden noise outside the house, and the sound became louder and louder, Yuan Miao had to stop talking, and after the restrained breath changed back to the appearance of an old man who was about to die, he pushed the door open and went out, and Hua Lanting flashed behind the crack in the door to watch.

At a glance, Hua Lan Tingxin said how could things be so coincidental, it was not someone else who was arguing with the guy, it was the exotic beauty with a gauze scarf that he saw at random in the tavern just now, and the old man with his head wrapped in a white cloth was also behind him.

Hua Lanting's spiritual sense was keen, and he sensitively sensed that Yuan Miao's gaze swept between the masked woman's neck, and he looked over to find that the woman's exposed snow-white chest was wearing a jade pendant.

Lao Dao was obviously stunned, but he didn't stare at it anymore, but first understood what happened.

It turned out that the two sides had an argument over a short knife, and the man said that it was not for sale only for viewing, and the woman had to buy it. Lao Dao didn't say much, but sold it to her at the price the woman offered, and the woman and the old man turned around and left the blacksmith shop.

Back in the house, Lao Dao's face was slightly solemn. Hua Lanting asked, "Is there something wrong?"

Yuan Miao said: "I hope it's just a coincidence, she happened to be passing by, this woman's identity is extraordinary, she is the daughter of the Hun King Dai Luosi, and there is a Han named Man Tingfang." ”
