Yue Qinghan smiled when he heard this, but he didn't answer, he reached out and grabbed the sideburns in his ear, and said lazily: "Brother Ping, I'll tell you a story." Pingfan was slightly stunned, and said secretly: "What story are you telling at this time?" But he was in this situation, but it was inconvenient to rebel, so he had to nod and say, "Listen to the girl's opinion." ”

Yue Qinghan smiled and said, "It is said that a long, long time ago, there was a monarch who went out on a cruise. One day, on the road, he saw a man wearing a sheepskin with the fur of the skin facing inward and the skin facing outward, and the man was carrying a bundle of dry wood on his back. When the monarch saw this, he was naturally very strange, and immediately asked, 'This old man, why do you wear a leather coat and carry firewood on your back?' and the man replied, 'What a strange question you ask.' I cherish leather clothes, and I can't bear to see the hair inside worn out, so I wear it like this. If I turn the hair outward and the skin inward, won't all the hair be worn away?' The monarch shook his head, and persuaded him, "My brother is wrong in what he said. If you wear out all the skins, there is no place for the hairs to cling to, and you will not be able to keep them. But the man did not listen, so he took up the grass and took up the grass and walked away. Brother Ping, do you think that person is funny?"

Ping Fan pondered for a moment and replied: "As the saying goes: if the skin does not exist, the hair will be attached." That man put the cart before the horse, and he was really confused. Yue Qinghan smiled slightly, and said: "Yes! In this world, the cart is turned upside down, and only the characters in front of you are missing? If you seek immortality like this, it will be like a monk in the foundation building period who has taken the immortal dust pill, just a waste with a false appearance!" Ordinary and her eyes touched, and she couldn't help but shudder, and a sense of respect arose, and she arched her hand at the moment, and said: "It's really a word from Wenjun, it's better to read a book for ten years! Yue Qinghan waved his hand and said, "If you want to learn spells, you don't have to be busy now, let's go to the Eji Hall to sweep the land for three months first." ”

Ping Fan turned around and said in amazement: "Sweeping the floor?"

Yue Qinghan raised his eyebrows and said coldly: "What, don't you look down on sweeping the floor?" Pingfan hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, no! Since the girl wants me to sweep the floor, naturally you have a reason, how dare I refuse? It's just that I'm too stupid, and I really don't know what sweeping has to do with cultivation." Yue Qinghan said lightly: "Do you think that only meditation and meditation and breathing are considered cultivation, don't you? Let me tell you the truth, in fact, sweeping the floor and cooking tea, sprinkling water and sleeping are also cultivation." Although you have some mana now, your foundation is still shallow, and you can't really enter the door of cultivation. When you figure it out and understand, come back to me. With that, the sleeves of the robe flicked, and a breeze supported the ordinary body, and in a blink of an eye, he returned to the Eji Palace.

When he fell to the ground, he saw that the Eji Hall was standing upright, and the cyan glass reflected the moonlight, exuding a soft light, where were there still traces of a half-minute fight? Walking into the hall, he saw all things as always, and what he saw a few days ago was like a big dream. He smiled wryly, reached out and touched the jade plate in his arms, only to feel that the tentacles were warm and ancient, and for a while his heart was mixed, and he really didn't know what to say.

This time he was ordered to clean, naturally he didn't dare to be lazy, and counted silently along the corridor, it turned out that there were many houses in the Eji Palace, in addition to the lecture hall, there were three hundred and twelve houses of all sizes. Most of these houses are painted in black, and the color is dull, which makes people feel calm when they look at it. Only at the end of the corridor, there are two big houses, one blue and one red, but they are reserved for him and Situ Mingyue. When I opened the door, I saw that there were many miscellaneous items in the room, in addition to the mop, kettle, rag and other things used to sprinkle the broom, a new broom was added. The bamboo on the broom is very new and spotless, apparently newly added. He picked up the broom, waved it twice in the air, and said in his heart:

"I didn't think I would go around and around and end up as a handyman. Hehe, isn't this a joke on purpose?"

He put down the broom and was about to walk, when a thought suddenly came to his heart irrepressibly, it was:

As the saying goes: Heaven will descend on the people, and they must first strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, empty their bodies, and act chaotically. I was sent to work as a coolie today, but did I know that Miss Yue deliberately arranged it to temper my heart? With a person of her kind who is so high, she will naturally not be untargeted, and I will follow her instructions. Anyway, the three-month period is fleeting, even if it is really hard and tired, it is not a big deal, is it not enough that I have suffered before?"

After thinking about it for a while, he said: "When I was still in Kunlun before, Senior Sister Liu Hanxi repeatedly warned me: 'Although cultivators must have no distractions and be brave and diligent, they must not be in a hurry and try to achieve success overnight. It is necessary to know that if you are too late, you will blindly seek speed, but it is easy to fall into attachment and form a mental barrier, which is the truth that seeking fast is slow, and you can't reach it if you want to be fast. If I concentrate on cultivating the spell and practice the "Qianyuan True Fire" to the transformation realm, I will naturally enter the realm ten times faster, and if I add the help of the Fire Raven Dao soldiers, I am afraid that the monks below the Yuan Infant Stage can be swept away. However, if I insist on doing this, my chances of winning when fighting with others will certainly increase, but what good will it do to my cultivation? I think the reason why Miss Yue arranged for me to do this cheap labor was not because of any ill will towards me, but because she wanted to use this matter to help me temper my Dao heart. Otherwise, with a person of her magnitude, why would Lang spend time on me, a disciple in the foundation building period?"

"Well, yes, Miss Yue has already cultivated the Yuan Shen and achieved immortality, which shows that she must have crossed many barriers one by one. In other words, she must have experienced the bottleneck I am in now. Listening to the meaning of her words, it seems that when I reach my level, what I need is no longer blind penance, but mental tempering. According to her, it is not only meditation and meditation that is considered monasticism, but even sweeping the floor to cook tea, sprinkling water and sleeping are also monasticism. In that case, why don't I slow down and try this way of cultivating the mind?" Thinking of this, my heart suddenly calmed down, and even the slightest unhappiness before seemed to turn into a fresh breeze in my ears at this time, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

He pushed the door and went out, but saw that the night was like a curtain, and the insects chirped, which was a leisurely scene. At this time, the moonlight was light, enveloping the entire Eji Hall in it, as if a thin veil was draped over this majestic long hall. The cool breeze was blowing in all directions, the shadows of the trees were shaking, and there was a faint sound of "rustling".

Standing like this for a moment, his heart suddenly moved, and he said secretly: "Since I entered the Water Moon Palace, I have never had the opportunity to walk on this mountain, and there is nothing to do left and right, so it is better to find a secluded and explore the victory, take a tour around, and see the scenery here for enjoyment!"

Thinking of this, he simply strolled down, followed a long corridor in front of the hall, and slowly walked down the mountain. As the saying goes: it's easier to go up the mountain than to go down. But he has Taoist skills, but he is not afraid of these, along the way, seeing the rocks and strange rocks, dangerous slopes and steep peaks, not only did he not have the slightest fear, but nodded again and again, admiring, secretly thinking that this trip was really worthwhile.

After walking three or four hundred zhang, the road under him gradually smoothed down, and between the mountain walls, caves were also exposed from time to time. Most of these caves are idle and uninhabited, but they are only temporarily opened up and used as a kind of thatched house and sewage pond. However, most of the water moon palace is women, although it is a very dirty place, but there is no smell coming out, but it is decorated with cloud patterns, depicting dragons and phoenixes, and the decoration is very exquisite. Ping Fan smiled, and didn't care, thinking to himself: "Shuiyue Palace is really a women's sect, even such a filthy place must be decorated so elegantly! ”

Beyond this cave, there is a pool in front of it. In the middle of the pool, a large curtain separates it, and it looks like a bathhouse. The bathhouse is covered with a dome, and there are countless small rooms around it, which is supposed to be the place where the disciples in the door change their clothes and wash. When Ping Fan saw this, his face turned red and he hurriedly walked out.

Out of the bathhouse, the road ahead of me twisted and turned, revealing a straight mountain wall. The whole body of the mountain wall is crystal clear, more than 100 zhang high, and from a distance, it looks like a huge piece of jade. The mountain wall is red, red, green and green, black and white, and I don't know what it looks like. He shook his head, and was about to leave, when he suddenly saw a picture on the northeast corner, and he couldn't help but stop and look at it.

Looking intently, I saw that the ink of the picture was still fresh, and it seemed that it had just been painted. It depicts a peach tree on which many monkeys climb and pick fruit to eat. The monkeys on the trees are lively and smart-eyed, and they are throwing peaches at each other for play. He saw that this picture was very interesting, and he couldn't help but feel very kind, and all the deeds of learning art in the Shangqing Palace in the past appeared in front of him.

He was thinking about it when he suddenly heard a sneer of "hehe" behind him, and the laughter was full of gloomy and evil meanings.

He turned his head and saw that dozens of feet away, there was a black-faced monster that looked like a human but not a human, a beast and not a beast, covered with long hair, and with a hideous expression. The monster was completely black, but its two eyes were bottomless, and its mouth was wide, revealing two rows of white Sensen's teeth, and between its expressions, it looked hideous and vicious, and it was extremely ruthless.

Seeing this, Ping Fan couldn't help frowning and asked, "Who is Your Excellency? Why are you pretending to be a ghost and being scary here?"
