But Xie Mingzhou didn't bother with the fat shopkeeper because of the mismatch in his name, because he knew that in fact, "Five Elements" and "Five Directions" were talking about the same thing.

When it comes to the five directions, we all know that it is the southeast, the middle and the northwest, but when it comes to the five elders, there may not be many people who know, in fact, the five parties are the five elders, the first old Tianjun of the Eastern Qingling, called the Green Emperor, the southern Danling Zhen Lao Tianjun, the Red Emperor, the central Yuan Ling Shi Lao Tianjun, the Yellow Emperor, the Western Haoling Emperor Lao Tianjun, the White Emperor, and the Northern Wuling Xuan Lao Tianjun, the Black Emperor.

The five elders of the five directions are the origin of the five elements, and the things are gold, wood, water, fire and earth, which are actually more extensive than the meaning represented by the five elements, but perhaps the fat shopkeeper thinks that the name of the five parties is not loud enough, so he took another name of "big five elements sword array".

Xie Mingzhou faintly felt that this set of sword formations in the jade slip was definitely not an ordinary thing. He only looked at it for a moment before putting away the jade slip and going to the magic counter to pick up the jade slip that came with the fat shopkeeper.

In fact, he had already seen the jade slip here at first, but now it was for nothing anyway, so he chose a jade slip from "A Brief Treatise on Magic" and asked the fat shopkeeper to copy it.

Out of the Wanquan Building, I searched for all the places I didn't go to in the market, and I still didn't see what I wanted, and I didn't feel a little discouraged, it seems that I have to rely on the opportunity of the Chuan Jing Building once a month!

was about to return to Crane Lake, but saw an old acquaintance - Hua Jin Zhenren.

Although this Hua Jin real person has only met four times this time, they can indeed be regarded as acquaintances, as soon as the two met, Xie Mingzhou smiled and said: "Senior, the two of us are really fateful." ”

"Qingxi Daoyou, don't call your seniors again. You're hurting me!" Hua Jin Zhenren hurriedly shook his hand with a bitter face and said.

"How could it hurt you?" Xie Mingzhou really didn't understand.

"I don't know what level you have reached in your cultivation now, anyway, you are much higher than me, but you come to call me senior, and if you are heard by others, you may cause me trouble. He couldn't see Xie Mingzhou's realm, but he could feel that it was even more unfathomable than when he was in Maichuan Mansion.

"In the future, you will be called a Taoist friend, and the poor Dao will thank you first!" Hua Jin Zhenren said solemnly.

Xie Mingzhou had no choice but to return the salute and said, "Just according to what Daoyou said." ”

Hua Jin Zhenren asked curiously, "What realm are you now?"

"Just broke through the merger period. Xie Mingzhou hesitated for a moment, feeling that there was nothing to hide, so he said calmly.

"This ...... This ...... was completely unexpected by Hua Jinzhen, originally he thought that Xie Mingzhou was at most a distraction in the middle stage of cultivation.

"When we met for the first time in Jietianguan, Daoist friend, you had not yet reached Jindan Dacheng, and now it has only been a hundred years, and you have reached such a realm!

"How can you have any qualifications and talents? It's just a little more luck, it's just a fluke!" Xie Mingzhou said politely.

"Since we met here, I guess Daoist friends have already seen the master in the temple?"

"How can the head of the sect meet me, a junior? I only saw the deacon elder Chixia in Guanli, who is now in charge of Crane Lake. Xie Mingzhou smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Crane Lake Steward, I haven't heard of this position, so how easy is Crane Lake to manage?" Hua Jin Zhenren also frowned.

"I heard that it was set up for me, but I would like to thank Elder Chixia for his hard work, so that I, a disciple of the outer court, also have a quiet place to cultivate. ”

"Outer Courtyard disciples, with your cultivation, how can you still be a disciple of the Outer Courtyards, what the hell is going on?" Hua Jin Zhenren asked in surprise.

Xie Mingzhou asked rhetorically: "Isn't this the rule in the Guanzhong? Didn't Elder Chixia say that there is no lineage order of me in the Guanzhong, so he can only be a disciple of the outer court?"

"There are more disciples of the inner court of other lineages in the view!, why do you just say this?" He himself is an authentic and true lineage, and he was admitted to the inner court as soon as he reached the Yuanying realm, but he knew a lot of things.

"I've only been here for more than a month, how can I know this!" Xie Mingzhou faintly felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out why this Elder Chixia wanted to lie to himself. He asked again, "Do the disciples of the inner courtyard of Guanzhong have to go through the assessment?"

"It is true that the disciples of the outer court will be assessed when they ascend to the inner court, but with your current cultivation realm, as long as there is no problem with your origin, you will definitely enter the inner court immediately. Why don't I ask the ancestor to help you ask the master to teach you, and see what the master has to say?"

Hua Jin Zhenren seemed quite enthusiastic, after all, Xie Mingzhou and he went from the original realm to this realm together, although they didn't have much time together, but who could suppress such an amazing talent?

"Thank you for your kindness! But I've inquired clearly, and in four years it will be the time for the Inner Court to be evaluated, and it's not too late to enter again. "Xie Mingzhou now has the five-sided sword formation, and he can cultivate in a quiet place like Crane Lake, he is indeed not in a hurry, and the four-year period is just a snap of his fingers, so why owe a favor for this?

The two of them didn't say a few words in this market, but they all raised a light snow, although it was just October, but the Lingshi Mountain where the Changchun Palace is located and the Kumiao Mountain where the city is located are particularly high, and the snow is normal at this time.

"Fellow Daoist, why don't we take advantage of this snow scene, let's go to the Crane Lake to drink and enjoy the snow?" Xie Mingzhou looked up at the fluttering snowflakes, and suddenly became interested.

"It was supposed to be great, but I can't go to this Crane Lake, I have to apply for a token, it's so troublesome, it may not be possible. ”

"Besides, drinking in the mountains, if others know about it, you will be punished, why don't we go to the Tumu Post more than 100 miles away from here, there is a winery there, the food is good and the wine is fragrant, and the most amazing thing is a garden of plum blossoms in the backyard, at this time to drink and enjoy the plum is just elegant!"

Hua Jin Zhenren thought for a while and said: "Hey, I forgot to tell you, Senior Brother Zhenyuan is also in the Guannei, let's call him, let's leave, it's too late, I'm afraid that some laypeople will rob the garden." ”

Xie Mingzhou said: "Okay, there is such a good place, why don't you go? ”

Hua Jin Zhenren said while taking out a jade talisman and crushing it: "Lingshi Mountain has a large mountain protection array, and the divine thoughts can only go out and not enter, in case someone peeps." This jade talisman was given to me by Senior Brother Zhenyuan for emergency use, and today he was in a hurry, hehe!"

Not long after, Zhenyuan Zhenren had already rushed over, and saw Hua Jin Zhenren and another Taoist standing there talking from a distance, but it didn't seem like there was anything critical, so he called a piece: "Senior Brother Hua Jin, are you okay?"

Hua Jin Zhenren smiled and said, "Senior brother, do you think this person is here, do you know it?"

"Haha, it turned out to be Qingxi Daoyou! No wonder Senior Brother Hua Jin crushed the jade talisman I gave, just now the wind and snow were flying, and I was worried about the safety of Senior Brother Hua Jin, but it was rude!"

"Senior brother, let's stop shouting here, let's go to the winery to drink and enjoy the plums, and I will be the east today. ”

"Okay, I haven't been there to drink for a long time, and today our old friends are reunited, and we have to get drunk before resting!"

The three of them stopped talking and hurried to the Tumu Station.
