When Ning Shu woke up, the sky had just brightened.

Some of the dark yellow skies are still hung with bright moons.

He glanced at Yuan Youtao, who was sleeping without any beauty not far away, and couldn't help but sigh.

The habit of getting up early over the years made it impossible for him to sleep until he woke up naturally like Yuan Youtao, so after some freshening up, he sat down cross-legged and began to cultivate and raise his sword day after day.

At the turn of day and night, the aura of Dharma is more pure, and the benefits of breathing and returning are greater than at other times.

In short, it is good to wake up early.

Of course, Yuan Youtao, who was sleeping soundly, definitely disagreed with this point of view, and he did not have the slightest awareness of hard cultivation that a cultivator should have.

Young Master Yuan's consistent style is:

"You can kill, but don't get up early. ”

"I'd rather die than be lazy. ”

......

......

Three days ago, after Ning Shu and his party left Jialan Mountain, they found that several days had already passed outside, but due to the enchantment, it had been dark in the mountain.

At the same time, through the power of the Yuan family, they learned how much influence this year's Luyang Guanyue had, because of the strength of the Divine Dynasty, Kunlun and Wuliang, who had been silent for hundreds of years, also began to become active with the emergence of people who entered the world.

Among them, Lu Xingyi, the winner of the immortal fate, is the most eye-catching, followed by Daomen Xuanion, just because of the means of reaching heaven that the two of them showed in the battle that day.

Although the Kunlun heir Xuan Ion was defeated by the prince of the demon clan, no one dared to underestimate him with the killing song he played with the Absolute Immortal Sword.

Needless to say, Lu Xingyi, the prince of the demon clan, can represent the birth of the demon clan, and this identity is enough to explain everything.

Maybe it's because the Divine Dynasty is deliberately relaxing the boundaries, or maybe it's because of other reasons, but for cultivators, the Divine Law is also a lot softer in some ways.

Just as every bifurcated river will eventually converge in the same ocean, whether it is from Ping'an City or Jinling City, Ning Shu will set off for the imperial capital of Luocheng.

There is still more than a month before the time of the Taifu assessment.

It happened that Yuan Youtao also wanted to go back to Luodu to deal with the industry, so he went north with Ning Shu, and with the help of the Yuan family, it also reduced unnecessary troubles.

Of course, the fortune teller Zhang chose to continue to stay in Jinling City, under the old tree in his Xicheng.

In Zhang's own words, the water and soil of the imperial city are not comparable to Luyang Dao's cultivation.

......

......

The Yuan family's big ship was heading north along the Huai River at this time.

said that it was a big ship, in fact, except for Ning Shu and Yuan Youtao, the rest were people from Yuan Youtao's mansion who served Yuan Youtao, the cabin was covered with blankets, and the cups and plates on the table were messy, Yuan Youtao didn't go back to the guest room after eating and drinking enough last night, so he just lay down and fell asleep on the spot, still drooling at this time, and never woke up.

"Bang dang!"

With a loud bang of a heavy object, Yuan Youtao bounced up in the cabin like a leather ball, rubbed his eyes and asked:

"The boat capsized!?"

"No, the sword is off. ”

I saw fifty strings inserted into the boat, cutting a hole in the precious blanket.

"It's okay, it's okay. ”

Yuan Youtao looked around for a week and found that there was nothing wrong, so he changed another place to lie down and continue to sleep.

Ning Shu said that it was okay, but his expression was a little weird.

Because in his perception of heaven and earth, there was a small piece of Taiyin power wrapped around the body of the fifty-string sword, and the fifty-string trembled, which was very cheerful.

"When did you get it?!"

Ning Shu was shocked in his heart, although it was only a very small piece, but for him at this stage, it was definitely of great use, there was a corresponding record in the "Book of Swords", washing the sword with spiritual objects to maintain the spirituality of the sword, before he had just come out of the Tushi Palace, he had used the bear bile of the bear demon to wash the fifty strings, this power of Taiyin is not known to be countless times more noble than bear bile, with the power of Taiyin, there is no need to look for other spiritual objects after that.

"Emperor Zhongtian Ziwei is in charge of the longitude and latitude of heaven and earth, the sun, moon and stars, the climate of the four seasons, the purple wall of the zodiac, can call the wind and rain, serve the ghosts and gods, and is the master of all things and the master of all stars. ”

He suddenly remembered what the white pen had said when he gave him fifty strings.

"The prince of the demon clan ......"

Thinking of this, Ning Shu couldn't help but smile bitterly.

His mind moved, and the fifty strings inserted in the ground disappeared in an instant, returning to his perceptual world.

Ning Shu got up and walked out of the cabin.

Standing on the edge of the deck, the wind blowing, he stretched and greedily breathed a few breaths of fresh morning air.

Unintentionally planted willows and willows.

I think of the monks who struggled on the Garan Mountain, the Xuan Ion who fought against Lu Xingyi, and then the unwillingness of the people who watched the battle in front of the Hanshan Temple when they left.

Ning Shu was undoubtedly lucky.

He went up the mountain to follow his heart, he didn't have the heart to fight for the fairy fate, and he was just a tourist when he went down the mountain.

In this world, everyone is fighting, worldly mortals are fighting with life, and cultivators on the immortal path are fighting with immortality, and when many people find that they don't have the strength to fight against it, they will be saddened and even suffer for life.

Mortals turned white overnight, and the cultivator's inner demons entered the body and turned into the Tao.

Very few people live with a desireless mentality, because it will be difficult, and when you don't have the capital to have no desires, you can only choose to compromise

Desirelessness and desirelessness is freedom.

Ning Shu can't really ask for nothing, but within some of the ranges he can choose, everything is obedient to his heart, just like when he was a child in Ping'an City, if he doesn't like to read, he doesn't want to read, and if he doesn't like to be noisy, he stays alone.

People who have been fighting all their lives can't say that they are wrong, but they will live very tired, and when they encounter irresistible factors, they will be very painful, just like the monks who compete for the immortal fate in the Hanshan Temple of Jialan Mountain, which one of them does not come with the heart of fighting, but when encountering a genius like Lu Xingyi, how to fight?

It's just that there are some things that have to be fought for, in this regard, he is a little envious of Yuan Youtao, being a fat man who is optimistic, eating and drinking every day, unlike those competitions from the inheritance of the master, even if the cultivation is not high, there will be no pressure.

But people like Yuan Youtao are in the minority after all.

Moreover, the person who once stood on the boat with him, the person who opened the door to his cultivation in the first place, is no longer there.

It's to save yourself and not be there.

If there was no such thing, he would have arrived in Los Angeles, and he might have been just a mortal forever, and he might have found a half-official position in the Divine Dynasty after his studies, and when he reached his age, he would return to his hometown and return to Ping'an City to enjoy his old age.

But that wasn't the life he wanted.

He is also fighting now, not only for himself, but also for Mr. Song and Tie Kunlun.

At this moment, Ning Shu finally understood what the old scholar once said that freedom was difficult.

Freedom, it's really hard.

.......

.......

It was dawn, the real day had just begun, Yuan Youtao took the hot towel handed by the next person, washed and took care of it, and walked to Ning Shu with two bowls of steaming tofu brains.

"Come and eat while it's hot, the master on the ship just made it, authentic and early taste." ”

Yuan Youtao advocated that the people take food as the sky, so there were not only subordinates who served daily life on the ship, but also the royal chef of Young Master Yuan.

"I'm not saying that I can't do cultivation like yours, although I also want to be a great cultivator, but I prefer my bed. He said as he blew the heat from the bowl.

Approaching Los Angeles, Young Master Yuan even spoke with a Los Angeles flavor.

Ning Shu took the bowl and looked at the red oil on it and the coriander dotted on it, the red and green matching, it was very eye-catching, the white and tender tofu brain was covered with a layer of lovely soup, even if Ning Shu did not have the ability to appreciate food like Yuan Youtao, he could see that this was a bowl of good-looking tofu brain.

Like Yuan Youtao, he blew into the bowl and took a sip, the tofu was extremely delicate, and the mouth slid into the stomach, the salty taste was delicious, and the hot chili oil made people sweep away the sleepiness of the morning.

"Tofu fresh marinated fertilizer, a pot of Jun flavor while the dawn. Yuan Youtao shook his head and sighed.

Ning Shu thought to himself that he was worthy of being a gourmet, and he even said that he had such a taste for breakfast.

Yuan Youtao ate a bowl of steaming tofu brains in three or two clicks, and after handing the bowl to his subordinates, he picked up the teacup and moistened his throat, waved his hand to retreat, and then looked at the scenery on both sides of the strait with Ning Shu.

Starting from Luyang Road, perhaps it is the reason for the prosperity, compared to the mountains and rivers on both sides of the Jing River in Quzhou before, the Huai River is full of buildings on both sides of the way, a town in three miles, and a city in ten miles, but it is like a river in the city.

The fireworks in the world are extremely prosperous.

"By the way, you really want to go to the Taifu Mansion?" Yuan Youtao asked suddenly.

"yes. ”

Ning Shu was a little puzzled as to why he asked this, because he felt that what Yuan Youtao wanted to express was not this.

So the two exchanged a few words, and then there was a moment of silence.

Then there was Yuan Youtao's slightly exaggerated expression of surprise.

"What?"

"You don't even know about the mountain behind Taifu!"

Ning Shu was a little dazed, and said uncertainly: "Taifu Houshan...... Isn't that ...... Isn't it Zhoushan?"

"It's not the same. Yuan Youtao shook his head.

"Taifu under the mountain and Taifu behind the mountain are two places. He explained.

"The Taifu under the mountain is for the Divine Dynasty to cultivate talents from all walks of life, and the Taifu behind the mountain is the real place outside the world. ”

"Because it's full of immortals. ”

Ning Shu had only heard some things about Taifu from Mr. Song before, but he didn't expect that there were differences in them, that is, his goal had always been to Taifu under the mountain, and if he wanted to achieve the goal he wanted, he should take the Taifu behind the mountain.

It sounded a little winding, but Ning Shu understood.

The fairy customs are not connected, and there is a direct embodiment in Taifu.

"Like a further education?"

"That's the case, there are already few cultivators in this world, and Taifu has even fewer recruits, because they are more demanding. ”

"Why didn't you go?"

"I won't go to that kind of place, I have to get up early to read books with my head, maybe I have to go to late classes, it's a waste of time. ”

Yuan Youtao patted Ning Shu's shoulder after speaking, and looked at him with some sympathy in his eyes.

"It stands to reason that you have the cultivation of the Divine Mind Realm at your age and are enough to enter the back mountain of Taifu. ”

"But this year I'm afraid it's going to be difficult. ”

Ning Shu frowned when he heard this, as if he remembered something......
