There are eight tombs in front of the gate of the Aries Palace, and the monks of Penny Zhou will come to incense when they pass by here. But the existence of these tombs is not only to give the thin penny people a long face, but also to slap the face.

The entire Aries Palace is on the top of a mountain, not much big, and it is not more than a hundred miles long. The mountain gate is an ordinary archway, and to the left of it are the graves of eight young people.

Zhang Muliu walked to the foot of the mountain with the remaining money, and saw people queuing up to buy incense, the young man shook his head and continued to climb the mountain. The rest of the money is rare and serious, he is not much better at the feeling of Thin Penny, but he is willing to incense these eight young people.

Yu Qian asked, "Skinny Continent is so xenophobic, can anything change just by relying on the few years of freedom that these young monks have exchanged for their lives?"

Zhang Muliu replied with a smile: "If a person does something wrong, a mistake is a mistake." A continent is doing something wrong, and it is right. If it weren't for the fact that there was a female sword immortal from Shengshenzhou who killed her, the two of us would be street rats at this time. ”

After all, the so-called mountain sect in Slender Penny Continent felt that it was the fault of outsiders from beginning to end.

After a short time, he walked to the mountain gate, and Zhang Muliu walked to the eight tombs on the left side of the mountain gate. Take a handful of incense from the cuff, light it, and insert it one by one. Then he put his hands behind his back, stood at the gate of the mountain with his sword on his back, and looked up at the top of the mountain.

The middle-aged man guarding the door asked with a smile: "Do young people want to apprentice?" I have a lot of sword immortals in the Aries Palace, as long as you can come back safely after your next trip to the border city, the Aries Palace will treat you as a treasure in the palm of your hand." ”

Yu Qian followed, frowning and looking at the top of the mountain.

The young Taoist priest is indeed in a low realm, but he has been to the ice field in the north of Juluzhou.

It seems that my hometown will never show off because of these things, saying how many people in my family have been on the battlefield and how many demons have been killed. No one wants to bring up the battlefield fighting. Those who can't come back will also be like the forest in the middle of the bean soldier city, with iron plates and seals, and jingle bells when the wind rises.

So Yu Qian is a little angry at this time, an Aries Palace, a thin penny island, and the realm is dead? Send some Jindan realm monks to the battlefield, in the name of experience, but that is just to send them to death.

Zhang Muliu noticed Yu Qian's depression in his heart, but he didn't dissuade him. Just like when he was in that deep alley, Zhang Muliu felt that he couldn't be persuaded, he shouldn't be persuaded, he should have resentment, why not hate?

The middle-aged man guarding the door smiled even more happily when he saw a Taoist priest coming over, and he asked, "Could it be that this little Taoist priest is also going to join my Aries sect?"

Yu Qian said coldly: "All the old people on your mountain are dead? Send some Jindan realm to the battlefield, what about your face? A group of deflated calves, Dao Ye, I will turn to you, the head of the mountain?"

The voice was very loud, but except for a few monks who were older and higher-level, their eyes were wide with anger, and the rest of the people did not react.

Because the people who come here every day to offer incense, except for the young monks of the Aries Palace, are the young monks from outside.

These people must be very disappointed in their own mountain gate and their hometown.

The middle-aged man guarding the door squinted and said, "It turned out to be two strangers who were looking for faults, and they ate leopard gall?"

Zhang Muliu said coldly: "Today is just to come to incense, and tomorrow is to find fault." Those under the realm of Hedao, arrange it casually, if there is a battle in the realm of Hedao at that time, I will follow. ”

After that, he turned his head and left, and Yu Qian followed closely behind, originally wanted to scold a few more words, but after thinking about it, he didn't cut a few swords to relieve his anger.

The middle-aged man guarding the door laughed angrily: "Are you invincible when you are distracted? Do you really think you are a sword immortal with a sword on your back?

The middle-aged man thinks it's very funny, the palace master is the pinnacle of the realm, you are a foreigner, you want our palace master to appear?

The young man in white didn't pay attention to this person, and he came today to write a war letter. It's not just a dozen of the faces of this unpleasant mountain, since it's here, it is necessary to start from the Aries Palace, pick up a thread, and then let the world peel off the cocoon.

Yu Qian asked, "Brother Zhang, where are we going now?"

Zhang Muliu glanced at the young Taoist priest and said lightly: "I heard that there is a water temple here, I want to go and see it." ”

There are not many ancient temples in this world, and the unknown water god has a temple here, and it is said that there was this temple before there were people in Penny Island.

The wine gourd was filled with wine for the little girl, it was made of ordinary wine, and it must have been bought by Demon Ling out of her own pocket. However, this one is full, it just looks full, if you really want to fill this wine gourd, and exchange the spring for ordinary gold and silver, it is estimated that it will be full. The gourd given by Huang Zhijun, according to Zhang Muliu's estimates, at least contains the water of the next small river. If it is really full, Rao is a drunkard like Zhang Muliu, and it will take several years to drink it.

After taking a sip of wine, the taste is still good.

I don't know what happened to Huang Zhijun and that girl?

The world is so big that it is just the gathering and dispersion of countless individuals on countless roads.

Out of the realm of the Aries Palace, if you want to go to the Water Temple, you have to take a boat. The temple hung almost out of the sea in an island to the northwest of Penny Island. When you get to the temple by boat, you have to walk through the stone platform floating on the sea to enter the temple.

When he broke the stone island, he saw Zhang Muliu's alcohol consumption in the spare money, and he was still frightened at this time.

The guy in white with a sword on his back, since he left the Aries Palace, he hasn't started the wine gourd. By this time, there was a moon hanging in the sky that was almost complete, and he was still drinking.

Yu Qian asked helplessly: "Brother Zhang, I'm waiting for you on the boat, come back as soon as you're done shopping." ”

Zhang Mu turned his head and glanced at Yu Qian, suddenly covered his head, and said with a smile: "I almost forgot that you are a Taoist priest, but this is not a Buddhist temple, why don't you go in?"

The young Taoist priest scratched his head and said with a smile: "Even if it is a Buddhist temple, we can go in, but we don't burn incense." Of course, I can go to this water temple, but my master said that I can't go into any god temple. ”

Zhang Muliu nodded, although he didn't know what Master Yu Qian meant, but judging from the temper of a young Taoist priest, that master was definitely not a bad person.

Dressed in white, he entered the temple alone, and stepped on a stone platform that was only a little above the water to the main hall. Even though it was the middle of the night, there were still many people who came here to pay their respects. So Zhang Muliu was a little puzzled, why did these people come here to make incense, could it be that this ancient water god is very effective?

Entering the main hall and looking up, sure enough, the huge sculpture was a woman's appearance, with a sword at her waist, exactly the same as Liqiushui's natal sword.

Zhang Muliu took out a pillar of incense from his cuff, lit it and inserted it into the incense burner, without kneeling or worshipping. At the same time, the voice in his heart continued, asking the huge stone statue.

Suddenly, a woman shouted angrily, frightening the pilgrims in the temple to rush out, and after everyone got on the boat, a wave of water pushed away all the boats surrounding the water temple.

Zhang Muliu opened his mouth and said: "The junior has no intention of offending, he just wants to ask the water god Niangniang about something." ”

The stone statue suddenly opened its eyes, and a pair of golden pupils looked at the white-clothed swordsman, his eyes were extremely indifferent. It is similar to the true body of the ancient god of Lianzhou, but those eyes are a little more divine than the true body of the ancient god.

A beam of golden light suddenly came out of the stone statue's eyes, and the Yuan Ying in Zhang Muliu's body was involuntarily pulled out, and with all Zhang Muliu's mind, he went to the stone statue without confusion.

Zhang Muliu smiled bitterly, he didn't expect that the first time Yuan Ying went out of his body, he was pulled out.

When it reaches the realm of Hedao, the Yuan Ying can be released, and it becomes a huge Dharma Statue. Before merging, it was actually extremely dangerous for the Yuan Infant to go out of the body.

After Yuan Ying left his body, he also changed into white, but his body was slightly illusory. Tearing off the stone statue of the ancient god, as soon as he entered the stone statue, his eyes turned black, and when he woke up again, Zhang Muliu went to a familiar place.

It is one of the thirty-six heavens that was swallowed into the belly of the great kun.

There was a woman in a light blue dress standing beside the stream where the water flowed, and she was very tall, a head taller than Zhang Muliu. A body of water law exploded, and the fire attribute in his hand was suppressed like a mortal blade, and even Zhang Muliu's sword intent, which was originally difficult to control, seemed to be so frightened that he curled up in his body, not daring to show his head.

Zhang Muliu stubbornly clenched his fist at the woman's back, and after a moment of silence, he asked: "I don't intend to offend the seniors, I guess there should be a trace of the seniors in this water temple, and I just want to ask the seniors whether that sword will be harmful to my beloved, and if she needs to pay any price, the juniors will bear it." ”

The tall woman turned around slowly, Zhang Muliu didn't dare to look up, only saw the lower body of this ancient god, and the figure was extremely graceful.

But Zhang Muliu's Yuan Ying was a little unable to resist the coercion of this ancient god, where was he in the mood to guess what the woman's appearance was?

The woman spoke slowly, her voice very indifferent: "Do you want to bear it all your might? You are just a cultivator, how can you bear it, and you are willing to give up your life?"

Zhang Muliu frowned slightly, and suddenly raised his head to look directly at the woman, but the woman's face still couldn't be seen. Zhang Muliu said in a deep voice: "If it's just a life, then it's worry-free." ”

For some reason, Zhang Muliu, the appearance of this ancient god of the waterway, could not be remembered. It's as if you just glanced at it, and the next moment you forget it, and so on, you can't see it clearly.

The woman's fingers moved slightly, and a round of missing moon was held in her hand. It is the moon condensed by Zhang Muliu with the true meaning of its own waterway.

"How much worse is your water intention than what I gave to the little girl, don't you know in your heart? If I harm her, what can you do with me?"

Zhang Muliu said lightly: "I can't do anything for a while, and it's not powerless for a lifetime, if you dare to calculate her, I will gamble with you for the rest of my life." ”

With a wave of her hand, the woman knocked Zhang Muliu away, and a white illusory figure seemed to float in the stream.

"Then I'll kill you now, isn't it easier to do it?"

After Zhang Muliu stood still, Yuanying already had countless cracks. He raised his hand and frowned: "Are you afraid of her? I am not afraid, you are afraid of it!"

Bufu seemed to anger Zhang Muliu, and the sword intent that was hidden and his tail was exposed, mixed with nameless true fire, boiling the stream water on the side.

Who knew that the woman only hooked her fingers slightly, and the long sword was not confused and walked away, and was held in her hand by the tall woman, and the fire that had just overflowed was instantly extinguished.

The woman muttered, "I really didn't see it, you have become like this, and you are actually willing to be a mortal's natal sword." ”

The ancient god looked at Zhang Muliu and asked coldly, "Where did she go?"

Zhang Muliu was silent.

No matter what Liu Xiaobei's idea is, after all, he has saved Zhang Muliu several times, this water god and she don't know whether they are friends or enemies, how can they say anything about her.

The tall woman laughed for the first time, sneering.

"You keep saying that you can risk your life for the sake of your beloved woman, and you will not hesitate to fight me to the death. But you are hiding a beauty, and you are indeed a man. ”

Zhang Muliu just looked at it coldly, and said in his heart, what do you like, I can't beat it.

The woman threw back the long sword, and her expression changed suddenly, just like Liu Xiaobei's changing face, as if she had changed from a god to a mortal woman.

This woman's face can finally be seen clearly at this moment, not as beautiful as a fairy, but with a cold temperament, she may be unique in this world.

The woman asked, "What is the practice?"

Zhang Muliu replied: "To cultivate the truth is to be an immortal, to reason with certain people, and to cultivate the true self." ”

This is the words of the heart, in order to reason with certain people, in order to find a true self.

The woman played with the moon for a while, and when she threw it away, the moon disappeared and was returned.

"At that time, you used yourself as a screen to filter the violent true intention of ten forgiveness of water, did you ever think that in the future, you would not have the opportunity to coexist with water and fire, and promote to the Tao with the harmony of yin and yang?"

Zhang Muliu smiled and said, "Of course I want to get it, but so what, I can't reach the top of the waterway all the way, I still have the fire path, and even in the future, I can learn the thunder method, so there's no pity." ”

As soon as the woman beckoned, Zhang Muliu didn't obey the call, and went straight to the tall woman's side, wanting to see her look, and desperately looking up.

"I'm just a god's will, this ruined secret realm is also fake, everything you have to do with that girl is known in your heart. I want to ask you for her, do you like her, do you like the familiar smile you see, do you still think of her as someone else?"

Zhang Muliu shook his head and took a few steps back, he was afraid that this water god lady would not be able to carry it clearly with Liu Xiaobei.

"At that time, I knew that she must be similar to Sui Zhen, to be honest, I was tempted when I returned, but I couldn't. Later, that smile just gave me a step. I never regarded her as an outsider, what I was afraid of was what Yu Zhen said to me when I was in Yun Mengze. ”

At that time, the woman who went from Kunlun Imperial Sword to Yunmengze, and finally turned into a stone statue, said with the last wisp of her spirit: "If there is a woman who comes to you desperately in the future, it may be me." ”

That's what Zhang Muliu is afraid of, he is afraid that there will really be a woman in the future, the same as Li Yuzhen, just a wisp of other people's souls.

The female water god smiled: "No, don't worry." Your little daughter-in-law is also my only disciple, how can you let others sway? Who has that ability?"

Zhang Muliu smiled bitterly: "Ever since I knew that Shiliangshui was a senior sword, I haven't worried about this. What I'm worried about is that Qiushui has changed from being calculated by that female Ai to being calculated by the god of water. ”

The woman sighed and chuckled, "Don't worry, in the future, I will borrow a sword at most and kill a few old guys." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Zhang Muliu, restrained his smile, and said seriously: "If you see her again, bring me a word." ”

The water goddess stood up and said lightly: "An existence like ours can't become human no matter what." ”

Zhang Muliu asked, "She is the god of fire?"

It was dark again in front of him, and he heard the woman say in a daze: "If she were a god, your human race would not have the hundred schools of thought that it has now, and there would be no immortals and queens to take over, and the anti-guest lord would occupy the highest three heavens." ”

When I opened my eyes suddenly, I was still in the temple of the god of water, as if I had a dream. But Yuan Ying, who was standing at the door of the Sword Pavilion and scolding, let Zhang Muliu know that this was not a dream.

Zhang Muliu smiled faintly, stood up and clenched his fists towards the stone statue, and when he turned to leave, he said to the Yuan Infant in his heart: "Okay, don't scold, don't scold you yet?"

Hearing this, the Yuan Ying burst out laughing, threw out the Impunity Sword, and rushed to the sea, as if he didn't think it was enough to have fun, and flew off to the land again, wandering among the mountains and rivers.

Zhang Muliu tugged at the corners of his mouth, he had never heard of anyone's Yuan Ying deriving independent consciousness. Looking at this guy's posture, he can't say that he will have to ask himself for a drink after a while.

...............

The boatman who took the rest of the money was an old man with gray hair. Since a wave of waves pushed the boat out for dozens of miles, the old boat sighed non-stop, comforting the remaining money.

"This little Taoist, your friend must have been arrested by the water god Niangniang to be a male pet! You see that other people have come out, but he has not come out. But don't be sad, that's a good thing, I've lived to be ninety-three years old, and I've been on this boat for more than sixty years, and it's the first time I've seen the god of water angry!"

The corners of Yu Qian's mouth twitched, and his heart said that I had met an opponent?

But the old boat talked endlessly, and he wanted to kick the old man down.

Just as he was about to quarrel with this old boat, he suddenly appeared on the boat in white clothes.

Zhang Muliu smiled at Lao Zhouzi and said: "The old man also thinks too highly of me, and he is a male pet for the water god Niangniang?

Lao Zhouzi looked up and down, pouted, and said: "The appearance is a little worse, it's not as good as when I was young, the only thing that can make up for it is to look like a swordsman." Women in the world, who doesn't love sword immortals?"

Yu Qian covered his mouth with his hands and didn't dare to laugh.

On the way back, Lao Zhouzi suddenly asked, "Is this boy in white a scholar?"

Zhang Muliu smiled and said that it was only half.

Lao Zhouzi said: "I read a few books when I was young, and I can't figure it out in my life, can Gongzi help sort it out?"

Zhang Muliu said with a smile: "I have also read a few books, helping the elderly to see the backwards, helping to sort out, not necessarily having that ability." ”

Lao Zhouzi said with a smile: "What does the son have to say about 'self-sincerity' and 'self-sincerity' in the book?"

The young man couldn't stop smiling bitterly, this old man, as soon as he came up, asked this kind of question, how can he say this? He had to smile bitterly: "The questions asked by the old man are explained in the book, and the kid is only shallow in his knowledge, and he does not dare to comment on himself." ”

Lao Zhouzi shook his head and said with a smile: "But I always feel that the answer given in the book is not the answer I want." How many saints are there in the world? How many sages?"

Zhang Muliu didn't know how to answer, and the answer to these two was given in the book, but everyone had their own opinions.

About to land, Lao Zhouzi said with a smile: "Little boy, don't be in a hurry to give an answer, think about it, I can last for fifty or sixty years, old man, and then Childe will remember to come back and give my old guy an answer." ”

The two young men left the ship, and the young man in white with a sword on his back said with a smile: "In fifty years, whether or not the answer is found, the younger generation will definitely return here." ”

Lao Zhouzi smiled faintly, said a word to go home, turned around and rowed away.

Along the way, he had money to talk about, although he was a Taoist priest, but the master forced him to read other classics, so he actually had some opinions on the question just now.

Zhang Muliu said with a smile: "If you have something to say, you are not a person who can hold back your words." ”

Yu Qian smiled and said, "In many ancient books, the answers to the questions given are all plausible. Take the one asked by the old man, the book says that he is honest and honest, and he also says that he is sincere, and the original intention is actually to persuade people to be sincere, but under careful reading, it can extend countless questions and countless truths. I think it will be difficult for Brother Zhang to give him an answer in 50 years. ”

Zhang Muliu took off the wine gourd and poured a sip of wine, and said with a smile: "I always believe that if you can't find the answer in the book, you can find it on the road, not in fifty years, but in five hundred years?"

Yu Qian patted his cheek and asked with a smile, "Brother Zhang is really going to fight in the Aries Palace tomorrow?"

The young man in white pulled out the You Fang behind him, looked at the sky reflected by the blade, and said with a smile: "Maybe we don't have to wait for tomorrow, we want to find trouble for others, and people think that we have slapped other people's faces." ”

Zhang Muliu disappeared in a flash, and Yu Qian followed him to the sea of clouds, looked at the white-clothed swordsman who was confronting people, and sighed: "If I have this fiery temper, my master still wants to die?"

The young Taoist priest said from his heart, Zhang Muliu's ability to cause trouble was the same as that of his own unobtrusive master.

In broad daylight, the war book was written at the gate of the mountain. The top sect of the Thin Penny Continent is dignified, swallowing this breath? No, someone has been waiting for a long time.

It's just that the realm of the comer is a little despised by people.

Yu Qian spread out his hands, spit on each of his palms, and stepped forward with a smile and said, "Brother Zhang, you must give me a chance, I finally met someone who can fight, and I will stretch my hands and feet." ”

Zhang Muliu handed over the wine gourd and said with a smile: "Take a sip first, so as not to wait for your mouth to dry up." ”

The young Taoist priest was about to go up, but was held down by Zhang Muliu on the shoulder.

Zhang Muliu looked at the young man of the Jindan period holding a sword in the sea of clouds in the distance, and asked with a smile: "Knowing that you are invincible, why do you use your sword?"

The young man replied, "The master has a life." ”

The young man in white let go of his hand, and Yu Qian strode forward, smiling cheaply.

"Brother Zhang said, the young people in the Aries Palace are all good, and I won't bully you, if you can withstand my two thunderbolts, I will let you go. ”

The Jindan swordsman on the opposite side nodded, and slashed out with a sword.

Yu Qian spit on the palm of his hand, and the Jindan swordsman can withstand it if he doesn't want to.

One lightning bolt blocked the long sword, and the other slashed at the young Jin Dan, who suddenly had a charcoal face and hair upside down.

The young Taoist priest instantly retreated to Zhang Muliu's side, his arms were wrapped in front of him, his palms were facing up, and when he was raised to his chest, he flipped his palms and pressed them down. After exhaling deeply, he looked at the young Jin Dan, with a surprised expression, and exclaimed with a long mouth:

"It's worthy of being on the battlefield, good ability, I didn't do anything after a palm thunder! ”

Zhang Muliu wanted to cover his forehead, this guy was too faceless.

The young man in white suddenly looked ahead, and a young man in gray with a broken arm and a scruffy beard appeared out of thin air, and the young Jin Dan shouted Senior Brother Jiang.

Zhang Muliu smiled: "You want to make a sword for the sect?"

Jiang Huang also smiled, raised his arm slightly, and a long sword was held in his hand.

Nine people killed demons, and one survived.

The survivor looked at the young man in white and said with a smile:

"For the Aries Palace in my heart, the last sword. ”
