Dusk Returns to the Ruined Building

If you ask what is the greatest calamity in spiritual practice, each practitioner will surely have a different answer; if you ask the greatest calamity in spiritual practice for the best talents in the world, then the answer must be one word: "love".

You don’t know where love comes from, but it will last until death; as far as spiritual practice is concerned, you are a person, but to the one who loves you, you are his or her entire spiritual practice.

The green trees are thick and their shadows are reflected in the deep pool. On the top floor of Zuiying Tower, a drunk man in a blue shirt stares at the scenery outside the window and whispers: "Ask the world, what is love? What is love!"

The little girl walked to the table.

"Hey, stop drinking, my grandpa wants to tell your fortune!"

The drunk man in blue turned to look at the storyteller and reached out to touch the girl's face.

"Ningshuang, is that you?"

The little girl did something that shocked Shen Yichen. She picked up Shen Yichen's wine glass and splashed it on the face of the drunk man in blue shirt.

The drunk man in the blue shirt sobered up instantly, looked at his hand that was about to touch the girl's face, and said awkwardly: "I'm sorry, little girl!" He took out a handkerchief and wiped his face.

"My grandpa wants to tell your fortune!" said the little girl angrily.

"Remember to pay and don't run away"

The man in blue shirt looked up at the old immortal master.

"Long time no see! Immortal!"

The old immortal looked at the man in blue and said something puzzling.

"Flowers bloom and fall, clouds roll and unroll, all of this is God's will; love is long or short, whether it comes together or apart, it is all destiny. Love is your calamity, but it is also your salvation!"

Hearing this, the man in blue put down the money and walked down Zuiying Tower, looking a little downcast and hesitant. The old immortal master looked at the man in blue from behind and said, "Sima Lifeng, the most amazing sword genius in Cangyun Sect in Yingzhou for a hundred years, has been trapped by love for decades. How sad!"

The wine is still there, but the person has already left.

Shen Yichen originally wanted to sneak away, but before he had taken a few steps, the storyteller grabbed him.

"Hey, it's your turn. My grandpa wants to tell your fortune!"

Shen Yichen shook his head like a rattle. He smiled and said, "I'm still young. I don't have any disasters or difficulties. I don't need fortune-telling!"

"It doesn't matter, just give me the money!"

"You'll charge me even if I don't calculate it?" Shen Yichen asked.

"I'm talking about the money for listening to my stories!"

"I didn't listen. I was eating the whole time!" It's not that Shen Yichen didn't want to give, it's that he really had no money!

"You have no money, yet you order so many dishes and drink so much wine?" the little girl said, pointing at the table.

"Wow, you really can eat!" The little girl couldn't help but say as she looked at the table full of empty plates, about seventeen or eighteen of them.

"The store owner invited me here because he thought I'm handsome!" Shen Yichen said as he washed the dust off his face with tea, then found a relatively clean place on his tattered Taoist robe and wiped his face clean.

A handsome young man with dragon-like eyebrows and phoenix-like eyes appeared in front of the little girl.

"Hey, he's quite handsome, but his clothes are a little torn. Why is he wearing ragged Taoist robes at such a young age?" The little girl thought to herself, but said loudly: "Can being handsome be eaten?"

"Yes. If you don't believe me, ask the store owner." After Shen Yichen said this, he called the store owner up, along with the waiter who had been blocking his way at the door.

"Boss, I'm such a handsome man, is this meal for you?" Shen Yichen said as he secretly used the Xuanxu Chenxiao Jue, and the whole person exuded the aura of a cultivator! Shen Yichen could only use the Xuanxu Chenxiao Jue, his master didn't allow him to use the Shenghuang Jue, and the Baibian Mojing was a magic formula of the devil, so he couldn't use it either. He had no choice.

"Master Immortal, you are too polite. This meal is on my table!" When the shopkeeper saw that he was a cultivator, he dared not say no.

"Little girl, you see being handsome can make a living, right? I'm leaving now!" Shen Yichen said to the storyteller girl.

The little girl nodded subconsciously!

Shen Yichen hurriedly fled down Zuiying Tower! He was afraid that the little girl would do something weird again! But he didn't notice the little girl's stunned expression.

The little girl didn't come back to her senses until Shen Yichen disappeared from her sight.

"Grandpa, how could he-he-he know Xuantian Gong? Isn't that our sect's unique technique?" The little girl was so shocked that she stuttered!

The old immortal frowned slightly at this moment, as if he was thinking about something. After a long time, he said, "Let's go, let's continue telling stories and fortune-telling!"

I seem to have only a vague idea of ​​what I am going through when I get drunk. What is the point of all the trouble?

As for Shen Yichen, after eating and drinking, he escaped from Zuiyinglou. He wanted to go to the store to buy a suitable piece of clothing, but he had no money! He thought about it and decided to carry out the robbery to the end, so he flew out of the city.

Someone may ask, didn't he find a dark black armor in the cave of Tianzang Mountain? Where did it go? Actually, it was still on Shen Yichen's body, but it disappeared after being absorbed into his body. On that day, Shen Yichen was practicing the Hundred Transformation Magic Sutra wearing the armor. When his practice reached the first level of body transformation, the black armor became invisible. He couldn't explain why it happened. He sensed it through his spiritual sense and found that it had no effect on him, so he didn't care.

As dusk fell, Shen Yichen was drowsy hiding in the woods ten miles outside the city. He had been waiting for nearly three hours, but no one came. He felt a little discouraged and turned to leave. Not far away, he heard a few people talking.

"Brother, the girl at the Jade Tower last night was really hot!"

A group of men in dark blue gowns walked towards Shen Yichen.

"Brother, why don't we have one more night of fun in the city before leaving?" a man said obscenely.

"What do you know? Do you think I am willing to go to Lingxu Mountain to be cannon fodder? The master sent a message, asking us to find out the general situation first, and the uncle and the great elder will be here soon!" A man with a jade-like face and a mole at the corner of his mouth said in a scolding tone.

"Then what should we do when we get to Lingxu Mountain? We won't really go in and die, right?" asked the shortest person among the group, who was obviously very timid.

"Listen carefully, when we get to Lingxu Mountain, be alert. No one is allowed to act rashly unless our uncle and the elders are here! Otherwise, you will die and no one will take your body!"

"How can a small sect like ours compete for the inheritance of the Sword Master!" This senior brother is a bit calm, maybe he is afraid of death!

"You don't have to go, just stay here and feed the fish! I'll go for you." After saying that, Shen Yichen performed the Body Magic Transformation behind the woods, and saw countless figures surrounding everyone, real and fake, and unclear. Shen Yichen didn't want them to see him, so he could only perform the Body Magic Transformation.

"People from the Demonic Path, what should we do, Senior Brother?"

"Take off your gowns, throw away your belongings, and then jump into the river." Shen Yichen's voice came from all directions.

"Brother, shall we fight?" The timid man was eager to try.

Shen Yichen increased his strength, "If you don't want to die, take it off!" The figures around him were moving faster and faster, as if they could trap everyone to death at any time.

"Why are you fighting? Have you forgotten the first rule I taught you about walking outside? - Saving your life is the most important thing. Take off your clothes, take them off quickly!"

The eldest brother who took the lead was soon left with only his pants left, and the other brothers followed suit.

"How do I get to Lingxu Mountain?" Shen Yichen didn't want to ask, but he remembered that the little girl had mentioned it when he was listening to the book, so he decided to go and take a look.

"Follow the Yunv River in front of us and go upstream, and the end is Lingxu Mountain!" said the eldest brother, squatting on the ground with his arms folded.

"Okay, don't look back. Once you jump into the river, you are not allowed to come back!"

"Okay, okay." After a few plops, everyone disappeared!

Shen Yichen took a set of clothes and threw the rest into the woods. He went upstream to find Lingxu Mountain!
