Thanks to Lord Immortal Bird and Brother Yangzhigang for their tips.

A group of five people walked through the wild road trail for two days, and the terrain gradually rose, and the mountains became more and more majestic. The relationship between Zhao Ran and Zhu Qigu also became more harmonious and intimate with the talk and laughter along the way.

Since "Pong" became Zhu Qigu, Zhao Ran's status has risen, and he has obviously surpassed Tong Lao, and many trivial things in life are handled by Tong Lao, which is tired of Hu Lao'er's predecessors and successors. Zhao Ran was also happy to be idle, so he accompanied Zhu Qigu to talk.

Zhao Ran told the story of Xiao Yang and Miss Long to Zhu Qigu, and Zhu Qigu was sometimes sentimental, sometimes angry, sometimes happy, sometimes crying, and couldn't help but complete the role substitution. The elder Tong on the side was very disdainful at first, and often disdainfully said cool things, or told Zhao Ran not to deviate, but they were all driven away by Zhu Qigu's eyes. It wasn't until later that Zhao Ran said that when Xiao Yang showed his skills under Xiangyang City, Tong Lao praised "There is a chivalrous style", and when Zhao Ran talked about it again, he couldn't get rid of it.

Tong Lao guides are trail shortcuts, far faster than taking the official road, although it is a deserted path, but everyone in this line has a mount, it is not slow to walk, many ordinary people can not cross the ravines and deep cliffs, in front of Tong Lao is not a problem, logging and building bridges is just a trivial matter of raising his hand, but Zhao Ran opened his eyes.

Zhao Ran had never walked this road, and he didn't know where he had arrived, but he heard Zhu Qigu say that he was about to leave the jurisdiction of Long'an Mansion and was about to enter the Western Sichuan Xuanwei Division.

After walking for half a day, I came to a pass between two mountains, which was called "Jinghu Pass". Looking at the terrain of this mountain, the lock and key of the two peaks are like a pot, and the middle pass is like a well, and the end is dangerous. The Ming Dynasty has configured a thousand households here, which was originally guarded by 300 soldiers, but now it has been increased to 600, which can be described as impregnable.

Tong Lao looks different, Zhu Qigu rides a sika deer, Zhao Ran is a Taoist priest, Hu Lao'er looks obscene, Chun Niang is charming, and Balang is like a fool. The Jinghuguan garrison was not surprised to see more cultivators, but just moved a few heavy crossbows on the city as a precaution, while several defenders under the city respectfully and slightly vigilantly stepped forward to investigate.

Tong Lao and Zhu Qigu both showed their jade plaques - they were tokens of the cultivators of the Daomen Pavilion, although these two were not affiliated with the Daomen, they were for casual cultivation, but because they were the registered disciples of Chuyang City, they also had this thing. Zhao Ran took out the Du Mu, and the three Hu took out the road guide.

After the inspection, several sergeants looked more respectful, moved the deer away, and invited them to enter the customs. When he arrived at the gate, Qianhu had already hurried down from the gate, and beside him was unhurriedly followed by a black-clothed swordsman, holding a big sword in his arms.

Qianhu stepped forward to greet him, his posture was very low, but it was more like a polite business, neither stammering nor welcome, Zhao Ran was right when he thought about it, this place was already close to the edge of the battlefield, and people had seen too much, of course, it was not unusual.

After politely greeting Qianhu, Tong Lao said to the black-clothed swordsman, "How long has the junior brother arrived?"

The black-clothed swordsman stretched out a finger, Tong Lao nodded, and said, "Then let's go." ”

After saying a simple goodbye to the garrison Qianhu, the group passed through the pass and turned north, while the black-clothed swordsman was unhurriedly attached to the end of the line.

The five people in front of him all had mounts, but the black-clothed swordsman did not, but he followed leisurely behind, without lifting his feet or panting, and he didn't fall a single step.

Zhao Ran admired it so much, but he couldn't bear it, and said to Zhu Qigu: "Sister, who is it, doesn't he have to ride a horse? Why don't I discuss it with Hu Lao'er again, I will ride a donkey with him, and let him come out with another horse?"

Zhu Qigu shook her head and sneered: "No need, he loves to show off!"

Zhao Ran also heard a hint of something wrong, and asked in a low voice: "Sister, he is also your senior brother?"

Zhu Qigu said, "Well, Fourth Senior Brother." Then there was no words, and there was no introduction at all.

Zhao Ran said: "The fourth senior brother's Taoist skills are very good, I don't think he touches the ground, is this a flying technique?"

Zhu Qigu snorted: "What kind of flying technique? Fake! If he can fly, won't I be able to soar through the clouds and fog? You say that he 'does not touch the ground'? That is to say, he can't go deep in coaxing the Tao." ”

Zhao Ran was very interested, turned around and looked carefully at the two legs of the fourth senior brother in black, and quietly opened the state of contemplation, but he still couldn't see clearly, but he also seemed to see some clues - the fourth senior brother in black didn't seem to move, but the square inch behind his feet changed drastically!

After a moment, Zhao Ran turned his head and chuckled at Zhu Qigu: "Could it be that the fourth senior brother is running? This footstep is too fast, I can't see it." ”

Zhu Qigu was slightly surprised: "Can you see what it is? The qualifications are not bad! Yes, the fourth senior brother is running, and he is not too tired to panic, but he has to put on a calm posture on his face...... "He behaves like this, but there are also people who eat this set, and I don't know how many heroic young people admire and worship, and I don't know how many young girls are obsessed and entangled, hum!"

Zhu Qigu dared to ridicule the fourth senior brother at will, but Zhao Ran didn't dare to answer at will, so he had to interrupt and say: "Sister, in my impression, how can a cultivator be a person who should fly to the sky? But it seems that everyone I have seen, you and Senior Brother, Uncle Da Zhuo and Xiao Zhuo who have seen before, well, and the Great Refiner, have never shown such a hand. Sister, can you fly one, and let me open my eyes?"

Zhu Qigu shook her head and said: "Dao cultivation, refining and refining qi, refining qi and transforming gods, refining gods and returning to the void, refining the void and merging the Tao, if you want to get rid of the shackles and not be bound by the body, you can only gradually comprehend the mystery of the void and reality." As for flying to the heavens and the earth, there is no realm of harmony, where is it so easy? Even if it is a master, it is only touching a little edge, how can you see it lightly?"

A few simple words made Zhao Ran leisurely fascinated, remembered for a long time, and remembered it in his heart. So he asked again: "Sister, don't blame me for being rude, I'm just curious...... Sister, where have you been? What about the senior brother? What about the fourth senior brother?"

Zhu Qigu avoided herself and didn't answer, smiled, and said, "These things are not something you can understand, so don't bother guessing." The senior brother is not bad, he has been cultivating for eighty-three years, and he has a glimpse of the way where the virtual and the real meet, and he barely touches the edge of the ground; ”

Zhao Ran was shocked: "Senior brother is eighty-three years old, I can't see it, it's still alive and ......."

"He started at the age of nine, and he is ninety-two years old this year!"

Zhao Ran thought for a while, and asked cautiously: "Senior brother is so old, but I don't know how old Master Chu is this year? Sister, how does the Great Refiner maintain him?" When I saw him the year before last, he was forty or fifty years old......

Zhu Qigu smiled: "What 'high life' is not 'high life'? Master is just over forty, do you think I like bad old man?"

This age comparison made Zhao Ran very uncomfortable, and blurted out a sentence: "It's only forty? Tong Lao is so old, how can he be his disciple?"

"What's so strange? On the road of cultivation, in no particular order, the master is the teacher! Back then, the master had just completed the Taoism, and he walked down the mountain for the Taoist gate, but the realm was not high, and the original spirit had not yet been transformed. At that time, the senior brother was already a master of the divine realm, and he thought that he could be caught, but he ended up competing with him...... Later, the elder brother worshipped the master as a teacher. He was idle and unwilling to enter the Dao Sect, so he was accepted as a registered disciple......"

Zhao Ran listened to it interestingly, and hurriedly asked: "How did the senior brother lose? What is the comparison? Sister, tell me...... By the way, sister, you also fought with the Great Refiner? Is it also because of the master who lost the worship?"

Zhu Qigu said: "How did the senior brother lose, he and the master have never said, but the senior brother admires it every time he mentions it, he said that if he hadn't worshiped this master, I am afraid that he would not have been able to see the doorway between the virtual and the real in his life." As for me, I haven't fought with Master, and of course I definitely can't beat him, and I worshipped him as a teacher for another reason back then. ”

Zhu Qigu seemed to remember something, her expression was gloomy, and she didn't say any more, Zhao Ran knew that there must be a hidden secret, but she didn't want to ask again, so she had to pick up some other interesting things and tell her, which made her laugh again.

That night, I found a leeward place in the valley to rest for the night, and continued to the north the next day, getting closer and closer to Yexue Pass. After noon, Tong Lao led everyone down the foot of the mountain and walked along a small stream.

Zhao Ran followed Zhu Qigu and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Zhu Qigu rushed to a small hill a hundred steps away in front of him and pouted angrily, and said with a smile: "There is a good show to watch." ”
