It's night,

In Dirt Lane, in the boy's house, two large and one small sat at the shabby table, two pots of wine, three dishes, and a large bowl of chicken soup.

The yellowed candlelight flickered in this small room, shining on the figures of the three people, which made people feel warm.

Lu Tu picked up the chopsticks and took a bite of the dish into his mouth, and immediately stretched out a thumbs up to the middle-aged Confucian sitting on the side, and said with a smile, "Scholar, can't you see it, you still make a good dish, tsk, if you are a woman, you definitely don't want to marry!

Hearing this, Su Qing also shook his head with a smile, and then said to the young Taoist priest, "The gentleman is far away from cooking, which refers to all flesh and blood and other kinds of practice, which is intended to persuade people to be benevolent, not that the gentleman does not get off the stove. Lu Daochang's heart is like a mirror, so why bother asking?"

"Oh~"

Lu Tu sighed, and suddenly asked with a smile at the young man who was eating silently on the side, "Yao Zhenyi, can you solve the confusion of the poor road." ”

Yao Zhenyi raised his head and looked at the young Taoist priest sitting opposite him with some puzzlement, "En?"

At this moment, two golden rays of light seemed to appear in Lu Tu's eyes, and Tongtong's eyes looked directly at the young man's eyes, as if he was looking directly at his state of mind through Yao Zhenyi's eyes.

The young Taoist priest spoke unhurriedly, his voice echoing like a mound pulling the young man's mind, "Yao Zhenyi, people are not for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed, how to interpret this." ”

"Man does not destroy the earth for his own sake......"

The young man muttered this sentence to himself, as if a strange feeling wandered in his heart, but he couldn't grasp it.

The middle-aged Confucian on the side was smiling at this scene, he believed in the young man, and also believed in the young man's pure heart.

After a while, Yao Zhenyi seemed to say outward from his heart: "People with self-cultivation, self-denial, erudition, discernment, prudence, interrogation, and practice, and a gentleman is upright, which is where the avenue is, otherwise, heaven and earth cannot tolerate it!"

Lu Tu smiled, the two golden lights in his eyes disappeared in an instant, and then he got up slightly and picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and gave it to the young man, "That... Do you know that there is actually another saying, that is, if people are not selfish, self-interested, self-interested, self-evil, they will die in this troubled world. ”

Yao Zhenyi chewed this sentence carefully in his heart, and always felt that something was wrong, but there was something unclear.

"Dah. ”

Lu Tu stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers in front of him, and said with a hippie smile, "Okay, okay, Poor Dao is talking nonsense with you, really, you Mr. Su didn't even speak, what are you doing so seriously..."

Yao Zhenyi touched his head, smiled embarrassedly, and continued to eat.

After a while, Su Qingyi suddenly turned his head and smiled at the young man, "Yao Zhenyi, do you want to go to the outside world to see?"

Hearing this, the young man raised his head and looked at the middle-aged Confucian with gray temples, nodded, his voice was not loud but firm, "En!"

The middle-aged Confucian smiled gently, and then stopped speaking. Then he took out a wooden card from his sleeve and placed it on the table.

"There's a real meaning in that. ”

Under the light of the candlelight, the young man saw at a glance that this sentence was engraved on the wooden card.

"Yao Zhenyi, no matter if the world is unpredictable or the people's hearts are sinister, we must abide by our hearts and remember. Su Qing also stretched out his hand and pushed the wooden card in front of the young man, Yao Zhenyi picked up the wooden card, and when he started it, it was as warm as jade, which seemed to be a little unusual.

Yao Zhenyi had a premonition in his heart, and always felt that Mr. Su seemed to be saying goodbye......

"Tut-tut, scholar, we've known each other for so long, so let's say that's half a neighbor, and I don't necessarily know what you send me. ”

At this time, the young Taoist priest who had been taking care of eating suddenly laughed and scolded.

Hearing this, the middle-aged Confucian took a look at his two empty sleeves and quipped, "Lu Daochang, isn't it the best gift for the breeze on the two sleeves." ”

Lu Tu rolled his eyes and shouted angrily, "Eat without saying anything! Eat and eat!"

"Hahaha—"

Seeing this scene, Su Qing and Yao Zhenyi both laughed, and then Lu Tu also laughed inexplicably, and two big and one small laughter resounded in this small room......

——

In the middle of the night,

After sending off Daoist Lu and Mr. Su, the young man packed up everything, and then sat cross-legged on the bed and began to practice the set of sword duels taught by Liang Zhongnian.

"With the sword of qi, abide by the mind!"

On the bed, Yao Zhenyi sat cross-legged and pinched his hands, then closed his eyes, calmed down and ran the sword duel, and then the naked eye could see a huge stream of heaven and earth aura, forming a small vortex that slowly rotated above the young man's head, and finally turned into two long streams of aura emitting white light and poured into his nose.

The two long streams of spiritual energy entered the body from the nose and wandered into the small world of the human body, and there was a slight feeling of swelling and pain in the meridians where they passed.

In his divine sense, the young man Hao Ran found that a meridian roadmap slowly appeared in the small world of his body, and every time he passed, a subtle golden light was lit, just like the lights of the people in the middle of the night, and he himself was looking down and watching it was very wonderful.

"That's ......"

Yao Zhenyi suddenly found that in that meridian, there were actually several particularly bright rays, compared to those subtle rays, they were as twinkling as the stars in the sky.

"Whoa!!"

Just as he was concentrating on it, those bright lights moved quickly to this side, and finally flew to his side and stopped, after seeing these bright lights clearly, Yao Zhenyi smiled excitedly, "It's the sword intent! It's the sword intent left by Brother Liang!"

Those few swords saw the young man's divine sense, and he cheered like a child seeing his parents, which were the few sword intents that Liang Zhongnian left in his body at the beginning.

Yao Zhenyi stretched out his hand, wanting to touch them, but those sword intents suddenly retreated a little, as if he was a little afraid, and then slowly approached.

The young man's fingers transformed by his divine sense passed through those few sword intents, although he had never been exposed to the physical touch, he was still a little happy, because this was left by Brother Liang for himself.

At this moment, those sword intents seemed to sense something, and quickly retreated and flew down, Yao Zhenyi hurriedly looked down, only to find that in the small world of the human body, there was a slowly rotating round bead, that was where the dantian in the small world of the human body was located.

I saw that the dantian was covered with the aura of heaven and earth that poured in, and it was slowly rotating to absorb the aura of those heaven and earth.

And Yao Zhenyi at this time, he has just taken a step out of the cultivation path, and in the early stage of qi refining, it can't even be called qi refining, at most it is different from those ordinary people.

The reason why the path of cultivation is difficult and difficult is because cultivation is extremely dry, and it cannot shake the heart of the Dao, day after day, year after year, except for great opportunities, otherwise you can only be down-to-earth, and other than that, it is to accumulate a lot, and there is no other way.

If the path of cultivation is really that simple, wouldn't everyone in the world be able to ascend to the sky in one step, then what else is there to talk about on the mountain and under the mountain?

"Hoo ......"

Yao Zhenyi exhaled a light breath of turbidity, then opened his eyes and withdrew from his concentration.

I don't know why, after cultivating, I don't feel tired but energetic, and even my body is much lighter.

"Crunch—"

At this moment, the sound of the courtyard door being pushed open came, and an old man who was hunched over walked up, Yao Zhenyi looked by the candlelight, it turned out to be the shopkeeper of the Sun family's pharmacy, followed by the guy from the pharmacy, that is, the young man with an indifferent expression, Yuan Shu.

"Boy, are you feeling better?"

The old man slowly walked into the house with a cigarette gun in hand, and when he saw the young man sitting cross-legged on the bed, he asked with a rare smile.

Strangely, the young man Yuan Shu did not come in with the old man, but stood outside the door and waited, and he nodded to the young man inside, who also smiled back.

Then, Yao Zhenyi replied to the old man with a smile, "Thank you for your concern, I'm better, but I'm still a little weak." ”

"Bah-"

"Whew"

The shopkeeper Sun picked up the cigarette gun and took a puff, and then swallowed the clouds and spitted out the fog, and the old man's face and expression could not be seen clearly in the thick smoke, only his thick voice was heard, "That's good, although you have a poor physique, but you are also a fortune teller, don't always be like a little girl, it's almost enough to move your muscles and bones." ”

Yao Zhenyi scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said with a smile, "What Shopkeeper Sun said is extremely true!"

The old man nodded, then paused, and asked with a smile at the young man, as if intentionally or unintentionally, "Yao Zhenyi, I will soon go to the capital of the Han Dynasty, do you want to go with me?"

Hearing the old man's words, a fine light flashed in the eyes of Yuan Shu, who had been standing outside the door and had never made a sound, but he quickly recovered his indifferent expression.

Yao Zhenyi was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, and said to Shopkeeper Sun with a smile, "Shopkeeper Sun, thank you! But I have already decided to go to the north......

When the old man received the boy's reply, he sighed, but when he came, he expected such a reply, so he said no more.

Looking at the young man's sincere smile with a little apology and sincerity from the heart, the hunchbacked old shopkeeper of the Sun family's pharmacy in the town turned around with the old smoking gun in his hand, raised his head and looked at the bright moon above the night sky, and sighed in his heart, presumably the moonlight in Hanyang City is also so bright.

In the starry night, the moonlight seen in the world is the same, but the thoughts in the heart are different. The old man had been in White Horse Town for ten years before he knew it.

After a while, the old man turned his head and smiled at Yao Zhenyi on the bed, "If you figure it out then, come to Hanyang City to find me, my old bones can still last for a few years." ”

Hearing this, Yao Zhenyi nodded and said softly, "The kid will." ”

The old man nodded and said no more, walked out with one foot, and walked straight to the courtyard gate.

Yuan Shu, who had never spoken outside the door, glanced at the young man with complicated eyes, and then left with the old man's footsteps.

......

In an alley not far from the mud alley, the hunched old man walked slowly in this alley, and Yuan Shu behind him was silent, like a ghost.

Just when the two of them were about to reach the end of the alley, they found more than a dozen figures standing there, mottled by the night shadows, and they couldn't see the faces of those figures.

"Who!"

Yuan Shu took the lead in walking out, blocking in front of the old man, staring at the figures in front of him with sharp eyes and shouting softly.

At this moment, the old man behind him, who was originally hunched over, actually stood up and put the cigarette gun in his hand on Yuan Shu's chest, signaling that he didn't have to do this.

The old man swept away the hunched figure, and stepped out and looked at the figures in front of him with a smile.

"Whew—"

I saw that more than a dozen figures in front of me instantly knelt down on one knee together, and the two figures in front of them clasped their fists and said in a deep voice, "Welcome to Yu Ge Lao!!"

When the moonlight shone on this side, I found that among the two figures kneeling down on one knee in the front, one of them was Hao Ran, the general of Yan Shizhong Yan who had fallen into the camp of the Han Dynasty, and the other was a middle-aged man with a cold face and extremely sharp eyes.

Yan Shizhong was the first to speak, "The national teacher asks the pavilion elder to return to the palace quickly, Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time!"

The old man in front of him is the old man Yu Ge of the Han Dynasty who holds the power of the army, Yu Wansheng, who is also known as the old man "Fulong".

Shopkeeper Sun, no, to be precise, it was Yu Wansheng, I saw him smile indifferently, "Lao Yu knows, please General Yan take the lead in returning to the palace to report to the national teacher, and say that Lao Yu is going to see an old friend, and he will return later." ”

Hearing this, Yan Shizhong said respectfully in a deep voice, "The last general will obey the order!"

As soon as the words fell, the general of the Han Dynasty who had fallen into the camp got up and left with a few figures.

"Whew—"

Soon after, the old man picked up the cigarette gun and took a puff, exhaling a cloud of smoke, and then smiled at the middle-aged man who was still kneeling in front of him and asked, "Sun Li, is it handled properly?" ”

The middle-aged man known as "Sun Li" replied respectfully, "Elder Huige, dozens of monks who had intended to get close to Baiju Town have been killed, and the last general has already dealt with them properly. ”

In the smoke, no one could see the expression of this old man Fulong clearly, only heard him sneer, and snorted angrily, "Do you really think that my Han Dynasty is still the weak dynasty that bent down to Dachu twelve years ago?!!

Then, the old man walked up to the middle-aged man who was still clasping his fists and kneeling on one knee, stretched out his hand and patted him lightly on the shoulder, leaned over and laughed in a low voice, "General Sun, if there are any more miscellaneous intentions that are not long-sighted, no matter which dynasty or mountain he is, he will be on the spot to rectify the Fa." ”

Sun Li trembled when he heard this, not because of fear, but because of excitement! General Sun, who led all the soldiers and monks of the Han Dynasty, said with a smile, "Please rest assured, if not, the last general will come to see you!"

The old man smiled lightly, then got up and looked in the direction of the time, and in the distance was the mud alley, the direction of the young man's house.

This Han Dynasty fought all his life, and later retired to the temple, daring to spit on His Majesty the "madman", the old man who lost his shoes finally moved that idea, but unfortunately the young man refused.

Yu Wansheng turned his head and smiled at Yuan Shu, who had never spoken, "Let's go, it's time to go back." ”

At the end of the alley, there was already a horse-drawn carriage parked.

Yuan Shu nodded, turned his head before leaving, and also looked in the direction of the dirt alley and sighed, if the young man agreed to the old man in front of him, he would definitely become one of the high-ranking and powerful figures in the temple of the Han Dynasty in the future. It's a pity, but I hope you really have a better choice......

——

On an eaves in the distance,

Under the moonlight, the young Taoist priest standing on the roof took in all this, and even everything that happened in the young man's home, turned his head and smiled at the middle-aged Confucian priest on the side, "The Han Dynasty is going to be all over the world, it is not the king's land." ”

The middle-aged Confucian man in a Confucian shirt with his sleeves swaying lightly in the cool breeze heard this, and smiled undeniably but did not answer.
