The light and shadow on the stone were very arrogant, turning in circles and cursing.

"You mortals, how dare you confine the deity in a cage, I'm afraid you're impatient!"

This light and shadow is not a vulgar thing, Zhong Ming frowned and thought about it, and he didn't dare to talk back, so he could only let that light and shadow insult them.

Zhang Daozhen was even more hesitant, covering his face and not making a sound, his face was blackened, and he couldn't see what the expression was.

Maybe it was Zhang Nianchen's words that were pleasing to his ears, and the light and shadow snorted arrogantly: "A group of ignorant fools......"

At this moment, the wooden door of the low house suddenly opened, and a yellow light shot out, and in the blink of an eye, it came to the light and shadow.

The bronze giant sword groaned softly, the tip of the sword pointed directly at the head of Light and Shadow, and the scolding of Light and Shadow stopped abruptly.

There were still ripples around the giant sword, and the tip of the sword trembled slightly, as if it could penetrate the light and shadow at any time.

Light and shadow didn't dare to curse anymore, his blurred figure slowly condensed, and said in a low voice: "Immortal Sword Giant, is there still a Great Sword Immortal of Sword Cliff here?"

This is light and shadow without a face, if he has a physical face, Zhong Ming believes that this guy must be covered in cold sweat now.

Behind the wooden door, Yu Bai walked out slowly, she stared at the light and shadow, pouted and did not speak.

Zhong Ming hurriedly shouted: "Miss Yu Bai ......"

"Shhhhhh

I saw Yu Bai put her index finger between her lips, pressed her throat and told Zhong Ming, and then she pointed to the room: "Li Wangye was woken up by the noise just now, and he just fell asleep in the house, don't wake him up, otherwise you will cry again." ”

Yu Bai was most afraid of Li Wangye's crying, he cried endlessly, and he was not as strong as Feng Mufei's little girl.

Seeing Yu Bai's cautious appearance, Zhong Ming suddenly smiled, this girl is becoming more and more humane, not as cold as when she first came, and she looks like everyone is superior.

Especially after Zhong Ming enlightened her yesterday, Yu Bai's attitude towards him has improved a lot.

The light and shadow was a guy who didn't know the times, and he hurriedly said: "I don't know that there is a Taoist friend of the Sword Cliff, I am ......."

Before he could finish his words, the bronze giant sword swung sideways at the light and shadow, pumping him upside down and flying out, falling into the Dan furnace, before the light and shadow could get up, the bronze giant sword brought the tip of the sword in front of him again.

Yu Bai's face was very bad, she walked to the stone table in a few steps, and sneered, "Did you speak?"

Guangying was very annoyed, and roared: "I am a disciple of the Jade Void Vein of Kunlun Palace, why don't you listen to people, why are you unreasonable?"

"Reasonable? Have you ever heard of our Sword Cliff people being reasonable?"

Yu Bai stretched out his finger and pointed at the light and shadow and said: "You didn't be reasonable when you beat people just now, this girl doesn't care who you are, stay here honestly, if you dare to move, I guarantee that the giant will make your soul fly." ”

The conversation between the two made Zhong Ming and the three of them confused, but everyone could hear that the light and shadow were very afraid of Yu Bai, to be precise, afraid of the copper-colored giant sword.

Sure enough, Light and Shadow didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, locked in the Dan furnace and didn't dare to move.

At this time, Yu Bai yawned and instructed the giant sword: "You show me that guy, if he runs away, you don't have to follow me, go back to the Sword Cliff and stay!"

The copper-colored giant sword trembled slightly, and the tip of the sword reached forward again, almost cutting through the light and shadow, and the light and shadow did not dare to move.

Zhong Ming asked embarrassedly, "Miss Yu Bai, what is he?"

"A divine soul who has been beaten to the point of abandoning his body, leave him alone. ”

Yawning again, Yu Bai turned around and walked into the house, and said nonchalantly: "I'm a little sleepy after tossing and turning in the middle of the night, let's wake up tomorrow morning." ”

Yu Bai turned around and went into the house to sleep again, leaving Zhong Ming and the three of them looking at each other.

Guessing in his heart, Yu Bai Xing may have deliberately hung the light and shadow to dissipate his anger, Zhong Ming also coughed and said, "Zhang Laodao, then let's find a place to rest for a while." ”

Zhang Daozhen nodded thoughtfully, didn't say a word, and followed Zhong Ming out of the courtyard.

All that was left in the courtyard was the trembling light and shadow, and the bronze greatsword that was dutiful to his duty.

The night breeze blows, and the small wicker in the corner of the yard swayes, making a cheerful rustling sound.

......

Zhong Ming took Zhang Daozhen's master and apprentice all the way to the east of the village and came to Carpenter Li's house.

Li Jianye entered the city in a dragon robe, and at this time he should have gone out of the city and headed towards Luoyang City, this courtyard he probably never had a chance to come back to take a look at in his life.

Waste is also waste, and it is better to use it for others to live in.

Making the best use of things has always been the norm in the mud village, and the residents of the village have gone one after another, but these houses have never been empty because of someone, even the hidden prince Li Jianye.

Li Jianye is just a passer-by in the mud village, and for Zhong Ming, he is just a big trouble.

This thatched hut is probably the largest house in the mud village, because there are many people in Li Carpenter's family, so the room is naturally larger, and it is divided into three rooms longitudinally, one hall, and one inner room where they live with their young sons, and another inner house Li Guangling and Li Wangye's two sons live together.

Now that there has been no one in this house for more than a day, it has become a little cooler, and its popularity has gradually dissipated.

The bell lit an oil lamp, and the three of them sat down at the wooden table in the hall.

This room made Zhong Ming's heart rise with emotion, the corner of the house threw some Li carpenter carved gadgets, flowers, birds, animals, and all kinds of characters, Zhong Ming squatted down to see, he found Hu Su from the wood carving, Li carpenter himself, Li family lady sculptures, and his own statue.

There are a lot of wood carvings of Zhong Ming, there are thirteen of them, different from the Li family's ladies, the Zhong Ming in those statues are all scholars and robes, standing with their hands in their hands, side by side, if they are all shocking Confucian.

Just when Zhong Ming was looking at those statues in a daze, Zhang Nianchen asked curiously: "Zhong Jushi, why are there so many wood carvings that look like you in Carpenter Li's house?"

Zhong Ming smiled, casually threw those wooden carvings into the corner, he said: "This carpenter Li is very bad, since he entered the village, he wants to calculate me, and he thinks about how to calculate me every day, I guess when he pondered, he carved these things casually." ”

Scratching the back of his head, Zhang Nianchen didn't quite understand the meaning, he looked around again and asked, "What about Carpenter Li's family, I remember that I was still in the village a few days ago." ”

A few days ago, the two Taoist priests were closed, busy with alchemy, and they didn't know what was happening in the village.

Zhong Ming smiled: "I drove him away." ”

Zhang Nianchen, who didn't know why, was a little embarrassed, and wanted to fake a smile to deal with it, but he couldn't laugh, so he could only stare at Zhong Ming in surprise.

"I'm going to Luoyang, I hope Carpenter Li can survive......"

Zhong Ming sighed and turned his head to chat with Zhang Daozhen, he didn't want to talk to Zhang Nianchen about this issue anymore.

Carpenter Li's family will be a hurdle in Zhong Ming's heart, it may be a lifetime, or it may be half a lifetime, there must be someone or a way to untie his knot, and he wants to face Li Jianye again.

Turning his head to look at Zhang Daozhen who was in a daze, Zhong Ming asked, "Old Dao, what do you want?"

Zhang Laodao suddenly came back to his senses, put his hands on his sleeves, and muttered carefully: "If I guessed correctly, Fang Cai's divine soul has a great relationship with our Danding faction. ”

Zhong Ming asked curiously: "How do you say this?"

Zhang Daozhen looked at Zhong Ming with empty eyes and told him a secret about the origin of the Danding faction.

The world knows that the Danding faction was founded by the Taoist ancestor Zhang Daoling, and the Danding faction has never been dedicated to ghosts and gods, and the Taoist temple is dedicated to Zhang Daoling's colored sculptures, and the side hall is only the tablet or statue of the ancestors of the past dynasties.

Zhang Daoling was an immortal material who was shocked at that time, but one of the Taoist veins has a long history, and the founder of the Danding faction was Zhang Daoling, which does not mean that the entire Daomen was founded by Zhang Daoling, and there were still ancestors of the Daomen before it.

One of the most famous factions is the Yuxu lineage, Zhang Daozhen once read in the classics, and the Taoist ancestor Zhang Daoling is the descendant of the Yuxu lineage.

This story is inevitably a little weird, the founder of the Danding faction thousands of years ago was the descendant of the Jade Void Vein, and now the real Jade Void Vein has come to this world again, is it a coincidence or does it really have a great origin?

In addition to this problem, Zhong Ming also has a problem in his heart that he does not want to be an outsider.

In his previous life, that is, on the earth, Zhong Ming still had a little understanding of Taoist culture, whether it was the Danding faction or the Yuxu vein, which had appeared in the history of Chinese Taoism.

According to the legend of the previous life, the Jade Void Pulse is the disciple of the Yuan Shi Tianzun, and there are many disciples, and the Danding faction is also the descendant of the Jade Void Pulse, but the period is too far apart, and the two ages are far apart.

In the past life and this life, there are always some shadowy things folded together, what is the reason, Zhong Ming still can't know.

Sometimes he wonders, what is the connection between the past and the present?

He couldn't think about these things clearly, but he thought about them often.

After talking about this secret, Zhang Daozhen sighed and said: "It's true that he is a fellow Taoist friend of the Jade Void Sect, but this Taoist friend's cultivation is much stronger than mine, and our Taoist realm is different from your martial arts people. ”

In fact, Zhong Ming has always been unable to distinguish those complicated realms, and took this opportunity to ask Zhang Daozhen in detail, what is the difference between the Daomen realm and martial arts people?

The differentiation of the internal strength of martial arts people is very simple, there are nine true qi in the realm of seeking qi, and they enter the stacking energy, and the stacking strength is divided into two realms, the realm of earth shattering and the realm of Tiangang.

The realm of earth shattering is to have more than nine true qi in the dantian, below seventy-two true qi, once the seventy-two true qi is broken, it is the Tiangang realm.

As far as the world knows, for thousands of years, the strongest Tiangang realm is the old sword god Su Tingyou, it is rumored that when he was young, in his heyday, he had one hundred and seventy-nine stacking strength, which was the strongest known Tiangang realm.

The Daomen is different, the differentiation is more exquisite, and the changes are more varied.

The Daomen is basically divided into six realms: Qi Condensation, Cohesion, Huidan, Baby, Earning Life, and Void Travel.

Among them, the realm of qi and cohesion is the same as that of martial arts people, basically to collect eighty-one spiritual powers in the body, and then through various secret methods, the aura can be merged into a golden pill, and then the next step is to break the pill into a baby.

It is rumored that the immortals in the infant realm have a baby with condensed spiritual power in the Danfu in their body, and they can live in the world without destroying their souls.

As for earning one's life and traveling in vain, it was too far away, and Zhang Daozhen didn't know much about it.

The exercises of the Danding faction are incomplete exercises, and after the second generation of disciples, the exercises of the Danding faction have entered a fault, except for the first half of Huidan, no one can reach the realm of becoming a baby.

"My Danding faction has been inherited for thousands of years, except for the Dao Ancestor when he sat in the body of the Yuan Infant sitting in the Dan Mansion, no one can practice to the Yuan Baby, these immortals from the upper realm are much stronger than us, I have seen many seniors who have adult babies, and may even be higher than the adult infant realm. ”

What Zhang Daozhen was referring to was nothing more than Yu Yu and the like, Zhong Ming frowned slightly: "In this way, the guy in the Dan furnace is still a master." ”

"It doesn't matter whether he is tall or not, he was beaten and fled, I guess that when I was refining the pill, the huge heaven and earth aura of the stone spirit made that senior escape into the pill furnace, and by mistake he lived on the refined pill. ”

In fact, whether the thing Zhang Daozhen refined was an elixir, Zhong Ming was really hard to say, it looked like a stone, and he was not sure if that kind of thing could be eaten.

As if he had seen through Zhong Ming's thoughts, Zhang Daozhen smiled and said, "Don't worry, Zhong Jushi, I must have practiced that elixir."

Cheng Dan is divided into two kinds, one is Yang Dan, that is, the flow of medicinal stones that we usually take, and the other is Yin Dan, which can not be taken, but it can be driven by my Taoist secret method to drive away evil spirits and protect the body, just like my Xuanhuang Erdan. ”

As he spoke, Zhang Daozhen pulled out the jade gourd on his waist, and the golden and green two pills slowly spun out.

Zhong Ming understood that this time Zhang Daozhen actually practiced a weapon, not an edible elixir.

Behind his back, Zhong Ming said secretly: Fortunately, there was no intention to wait for this old Taoist to refine the pill, and the things that were refined in the end could not solve his dantian disease.

Arching his hand, Zhong Ming said, "I have been taught." ”

Hearing a secret story about the Danding faction, Zhong Ming was still very happy, but he was also a little sleepy, so he said: "Why don't we rest first, and talk about it tomorrow." ”

"It's fine. ”

Zhang Daozhen nodded, and Zhang Nianchen, who was already yawning beside him, also stretched: "Master, let's rest early." ”

Standing up, Zhong Ming wanted to go to the side house, but Zhang Daozhen suddenly said: "Zhong Jushi has a good rest today, and tomorrow I want Zhong Jushi to fulfill his promise." ”

Zhong Ming was stunned, he knew that Zhang Laodao was talking about him and Zhang Nianchen's borrowing of his life.

This matter has been entrusted for a long time, because the things in the mud village are stacked one after another, and this matter is forced to be left behind by the three of them.

Taking a deep breath and talking about this matter again, Zhong Ming's heart was still a little nervous, and he said softly: "Don't worry, Dao Chief, I Zhong Ming will do what I say, just be prepared." ”

At this time, Zhang Nianchen's expression was sad, and he stopped talking, Zhang Daozhen smiled with relief and sighed: "This matter is understood, and Lao Dao dies without regrets." ”

This sentence of death without regrets annoyed Zhang Nianchen, and he said angrily: "Master, what are you talking about, your body is so strong, don't always say something useless." ”

smiled, Zhang Daozhen didn't say anything, his own body bones, he himself knows best, he still has a few years to live, he knows in his heart, more than five years, less than three years, Zhang Daozhen will be gone.

Maybe after the success of the method of life, he didn't even have two years to live.

Zhong Ming didn't listen to the two Taoist priests arguing, he opened the curtain and walked into the side room, lying on the bed with slippers, tossing and turning and unable to sleep.

The matter of borrowing life sounds very weird, saying that you are not nervous, not afraid, that is false.

Zhong Ming is an ordinary person, although he knows a little kung fu, but he will be afraid of the knife on his neck, and he has all kinds of fears from the bottom of his heart about the matter of Xuanzhi and Xuan's borrowing of life.

After a while, the oil lamp in the hall was blown off, and Zhong Ming still couldn't sleep, staring at the starry sky outside from the wooden window.

Suddenly, the door curtain was lifted, Zhang Nianchen's little head stuck in, and he asked cautiously: "Zhong Jushi, have you slept?"

Zhong Ming came back to his senses and said in a low voice: "I didn't sleep, what's wrong, little Taoist, are you in trouble?"

Zhang Nianchen ran to the earthen kang with his pillow in his arms, lay down beside Zhong Ming, and said in a low voice: "It's not a big deal, it's just that the master suddenly said that he would borrow his life from Zhong Jushi tomorrow, and I was a little nervous and couldn't sleep." ”

Zhong Ming was speechless, the room was quiet, and only Zhang Nianchen's long sigh could be heard.

Zhong Ming chuckled: "I lent you my life, and you didn't give me my life, what are you afraid of?"

"It is precisely because I want to borrow my life from Zhong Jushi that I feel ashamed......

Master said that once I borrow my life from Zhong Jushi, then I will live in your life for the rest of my life, to put it bluntly, the two of us are one life and two living people, and we are connected by the same fate, I am afraid that some things will affect Zhong Jushi. ”

The little Taoist priest has a lot of thoughts, his heart is good, he has been wandering the rivers and lakes with Zhang Daozhen for many years, and he can still maintain a kind heart, which can be said to be good for the old Taoist professor, and it can also be said that it is good for protection.

Coming out of the mixed rivers and lakes like a big dye vat, Zhang Nianchen can still be as pure and flawless as the little brother next door, and have a heart of kindness, which is not easy.

With his back to Zhang Nianchen, Zhong Ming could still imagine his expression at this time in his mind, he must have frowned, his eyes fluttering, and he was very entangled.

Laughing, Zhong Ming sat up, pulled Zhang Nianchen up and said, "Let's talk about it, what's on my mind, I'm afraid it will affect me, it will be better to say it." ”

Zhang Nianchen was very frightened and said: "Jushi Zhong, Master said that you can't say it to outsiders......"

"Let's say, in the future, we will no longer be outsiders, you and I share a life, and we are closer than brothers, how can we say that we are outsiders?"

Persuaded like this, Zhang Nianchen's heart was a little loose, Zhong Ming looked at the curtain, and said: "In such a small room, the old Taoist priest's ears are so sensitive, what sound can't be heard? If the old Taoist priest really didn't want you to tell me, I would have called you out earlier." ”

Zhang Nianchen also looked at him, he gritted his teeth and said, "That's right, then I'll tell you." ”

At this time, Zhang Daozhen sat in the inner room, sighed and muttered: "Fool, you are really a fool and a fool, Zhong Jushi, you are a good person." ”
