Two sword cultivators fight against the enemy, if they don't rely on cultivation for the realm, just rely on the swordsmanship in their hands, it is not easy to distinguish between winning and losing, after all, they have traveled a long way on the sword road, and they have their own persistence and comprehension of the way of the sword.

Yi Qingzhu's sword path is profound, and he can be regarded as one of the many great sword cultivators standing at the top of this world, so even if he just uses sword moves at will, he has a special bearing.

And although Zuo Siyao is not a great sword cultivator, he is actually not bad, in just a hundred years, he can cultivate to this point, he is an out-and-out genius, otherwise Yang Yi would not be optimistic about him, thinking about passing on the next sect master, plus after slaying demons from the demon realm, the sword path has advanced by leaps and bounds, and it is only one step away from stepping into the next realm.

Now neither of them is using the cultivation realm, but only relying on swordsmanship, so the battle situation has changed extremely anxiously.

The bamboo leaves are in the center, and the wind is roaring.

The sound of the sword roar continued.

Deng Chunyao looked at the two of them who were getting more and more energetic, and looked helpless, so she silently got up and dragged the table a little farther away, so as not to be affected by the two.

And Jiang Changfeng turned a blind eye to the other scenes that happened in the center of the bamboo leaves, only the yellowed flute in his hand, and he wanted to blow it with all his heart, even if it was just a clear sound, it was excellent for him, but after he played for a while, he sighed with some regret, no matter how hard he tried, it seemed that he couldn't blow, even if he used the sword qi, but the flute in his hand was still silent.

After pondering for a long time, he tried again, but this time the result was no different from the last time, it was still in vain, which made him doubt his memory, he clearly remembered that he could play the flute, and there were many scores in his head, but why couldn't he make a sound when he got it in his hand?

This made him feel a little frustrated.

Deng Chunyao saw the loss of this green-shirted sword cultivator in her eyes, thought about it for a while, and was about to say something, but what happened next made her stop talking.

The two people who were competing on the side had already been divided, and it was Yi Qingzhu who won.

This made her a little surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, it was reasonable, after all, Yi Qingzhu had lived for hundreds of years, he was a kendo senior, and he had hundreds of years of time to understand kendo, so it was not too surprising that he could win.

Yi Qingzhu re-scattered the sword in his hand into bamboo leaves, and put it in the bamboo pot that had been plucked off the leaves before, and then said with a smile: "Your sword path is very good, it is not the way of hiding, but the way of fighting, if you can continue to follow this path in the future, do not lose your heart, and compete with the realm, maybe even Yang Yi's old stubbornness can't beat you." ”

Zuo Siyao smiled, shook his head, and didn't say anything, he wanted to fight with the same realm to defeat Yang Yi, how could it be so easy, Yang Yi dared to use a sword against the big demon in Tianmen, a trace of doppelganger sword qi was enough to kill the monster of the same realm, full of courage and pride, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a great sword cultivator standing at the top of the world under the sword immortal, and there are even rumors that Yang Yi can kill a saint with all his might, he doesn't know whether it is true or not, but he knows that if Yang Yi wants to do it, the saint who is targeted by him will definitely not be pleased.

Yi Qingzhu walked a few steps, came to him, patted him on the shoulder, thought about it, took out a piece of bamboo leaf jade pendant from his body, put it in his hand and played with it for a while, and then handed it to him in Zuo Siyao's puzzled look, saying that it was a small gift from his uncle to his nephew and let him keep it, as for the rest, he didn't say much.

Zuo Siyao looked at the jade pendant in his hand, which was exquisitely shaped and graceful like a real bamboo leaf, and did not refuse, but solemnly received it in his arms.

Yi Qingzhu didn't say what this jade pendant did, it seemed that he was selling it to him, so he didn't ask, thinking that there would always be a chance to know in the future, and it would be a good time.

After seeing Zuo Siyao put it away, Yi Qingzhu turned his head to look at Deng Chunyao, who was watching the two of them closely, and also took out a jade pendant.

Only this time it's not a bamboo leaf, it's a bamboo branch.

Deng Chunyao took the jade pendant and whispered thank you.

Yi Qingzhu said calmly: "These two things are gadgets I made when I was bored, they have been on me for a hundred years, and I will give them to you when you come, as for what is the use, you don't need to know now, after the right time, you will naturally know in the future, so you can keep it with peace of mind." ”

Deng Chunyao hummed and said thank you again.

Yi Qingzhu shook his head, but this time he didn't say more, and asked instead: "Where are you going to go next, if you don't have a place to go, why don't you follow me to the capital of the Great Zhou Kingdom, it will be the Great Dynasty Meeting soon, and it should be interesting and lively there." ”

Zuo Siyao thought about it in his heart for a while, and soon found the origin of the Great Dynasty Meeting, so he quickly agreed.

It just so happens that he has nowhere to go, so it's not good to go back to Qingyuan, so it must be excellent to follow and see.

Yi Qingzhu looked at Jiang Changfeng after getting a response, as for Deng Chunyao, he deliberately ignored it, after all, the relationship between the three of them in this group is clearly visible, and Deng Chunyao will inevitably go with him wherever Zuo Siyao goes.

Jiang Changfeng raised his head, did not refuse, and quickly said yes, then lowered his head again, and fiddled with the flute in his hand.

For him, he can go anywhere.

......

......

Time is like a wild horse, it can follow behind, but it can never be caught.

After careful calculation, Xu Baichuan and Anan have been in Jing'an Town for a month.

In this month, Xu Baichuan was looking at the books he brought down from the Sword Sect every day, and then practiced swordsmanship, and when he went to pick up Anan to teach, if the interest came, maybe he would chat with the old gentleman for a few words, each chatting about their own customs, but they could unexpectedly fit together, the old man had lived long enough, so he had enough experience, and he had seen a lot of things, although most of them were recorded in the book, but the book was not created because of this.

One afternoon in late autumn, Xu Baichuan chatted with the old gentleman as usual, and then said goodbye to each other, and took Anan through the alley to return to Jingfu, which had been converted into Xu's mansion.

In fact, Xu Baichuan felt that there was no need to change it, Jingfu was just as feasible as hanging on it, and the reason why it was changed to Xu Mansion was the mind of the little girl Anan, and even said a lot of truths that he had just learned from the old man, among which Xu Baichuan felt that the most interesting thing was that the previous wave had died and the wave changed to a new day, he once asked the old gentleman if he had taught this sentence, and then the old gentleman shook his head, and said that he didn't know where Anan read the miscellaneous books, anyway, the old gentleman said that he was teaching serious truths, and such a big rebellious words had never been confided out of his mouth。

Back at the Xu Mansion, which was still empty and only the two of them, Xu Baichuan dragged out a bamboo chair from the house and sat on it, holding a kendo classic that he hadn't finished reading last time, and Qiu Feng placed it on his lap.

Anan, who was dressed in a plain white dress, sat not far from him, also looking at a book, but that one was the words of a sage and a Confucian classic.

During this month, Anan had learned almost the principles of the words and calligraphy, and he could also understand the practice of the exercises, and he was ready to embark on the path of cultivation.

And the reason why she is still looking at Confucianism instead of practicing is a choice that Xu Baichuan asked her to make.

Anan is not badly qualified, and he will not suffer many setbacks when cultivating the Three Sects Dao, but will be smooth sailing, but the Three Sects are not just one path, but a general term for one avenue.

Although the three religions are collectively called the three religions, but in fact, their respective paths are very different, Buddhism focuses on physical suffering, is to believe in the law of preaching, Confucianism leads the people, is to live happily for heaven and earth, Taoism is natural, the pursuit is their own leisure, so the choice of the path of practice is particularly important, once set foot on, want to change again, it can be said that it is difficult and difficult, unless it is to cut off the road that has been set on with great perseverance, turn into a mortal, and start again, or once you choose a good path, you must follow this path in this life and this life, until you die or become a saint who looks down on all beings from above。

In fact, there are only two paths that Anan wants to choose, one is Taoism, the other is Confucianism, and the Buddha is not very suitable.

Therefore, in these days, Anan has been looking at the Taoist scriptures and Confucian classics every day, and wants to choose a direction from them, Anan once asked Xu Baichuan how to choose, and Xu Baichuan said that he needs to make up his own mind about the Daodao, and there is nothing else to say.

Anan finished reading the Confucian book in his hand, and when he raised his head, his face was still entangled, these days she has heard Xu Baichuan talk a lot about Taoism and Confucianism, and she already has a general understanding of it, fundamentally speaking, there is not much difference between the two, and in the end, it will be the sage avenue, but this is the case, it is difficult for her to choose.

Looking at the few sparrows that stayed on the wall not far away, Anan suddenly asked, "Young Master Xu, how did you choose?" ”

Xu Baichuan raised his head when he heard the sound, patted the long sword on his leg, and said with a smile: "This is not very obvious, it is naturally a sword, although it must not be bad if you take another path, maybe it will be much smoother than now, at least there will not be so many people who want to kill me, but if I choose again, I am still willing to choose a sword." ”

Anan pursed his lips and asked curiously, "Then what is your other path?"

Xu Baichuan laughed softly: "The first path in front of me is to be a Taoist priest, if I agree, there will be a good master, at least all the way to the high place, maybe I will try to see if I can cross that threshold, but I think that is too boring, so I chose one myself." ”

Anan was silent, compared to Xu Baichuan's free and easy, she looked indecisive.

Xu Baichuan got up from the bamboo chair, walked to Anan's side, put down two cultivation exercises on the table, and then looked at Anan with a smile on his face.

It's about letting her choose.

Anan looked at the two cultivation exercises, one yellow and one white, and was still entangled.

She suddenly asked, "Can't you learn two things together and walk two paths together?"

Xu Baichuan frowned, did not reply quickly, in the book did record that there is this kind of person who crosses the three sects with his own strength, relying on his own talent, he has walked a long way on every road, relying on the parallel of the three sects, the same realm is simply invincible, only the sword cultivation can compete with one of them, but it is so strong that it is strong, but it has disadvantages that cannot be ignored, that is, you can only stand in front of the threshold forever, looking at the road inside the door, even if you have accumulated enough capital to support the sainthood of the past, but you will always be unable to cross for various reasons, and you can only die miserably in the end, honestly walk the broad road left by the predecessors, instead of finding another way like this.

Xu Baichuan looked at the curious girl and said seriously: "You can only take one road, take two, you can't go on." ”

After hearing this, Anan had a bitter face, turned his head to look at the two cultivation exercises on the table, and said in a low voice: "But this is really difficult to choose, both are similar." ”

Xu Baichuan said calmly: "Since you can't choose, it's better to let someone choose for you." ”

Anan nodded subconsciously, and then looked surprised, did he still let others choose the path for him?

Who is that man?

The girl Anan was very puzzled, she only knew Xu Baichuan as a cultivator now.

Could it be that there are other people?

So Xu Baichuan went out, and it didn't take long for him to bring back a person.

When she saw the man, the girl suddenly became enlightened.

It was the old gentleman who taught her to read and write.
