Sword comes

In this wild world, the sky is clear and blue, like the green glaze of porcelain, which seems to be dripping onto the ground in the next moment.

Pei Min asked: "Can we really fight against Jiang She?"

Zou Zi nodded and said, "It's a big commotion, and the impact is far-reaching."

Pei Min was amazed, "It's a pity that I can't watch the battle from the sidelines."

Zou Zi said: "Even if you can watch, it's best not to get involved."

Pei Min asked: "Why?"

Zou Zi said, "Zheng Juzhong is here."

Pei Min remained silent.

Zou Zi said in his heart for no reason: "Fellow Daoist Bixiao said it well. If he lets Gu Can go, he won't let himself go. If he doesn't let Ma Kuxuan go, he will let himself go."

Pei Min asked in confusion: "When did you meet the Lord of Bixiao Cave?"

He left Tongyezhou with Zou Zi and traveled to Qingming Heaven and other states. They did not go to the bright moon. During the period, even though they knew that Bixiao Cave Master and the sword fairy of the demon clan named Xizhu were staying in the territory of Yaxiang Yaoqing, they deliberately took a detour. In Pei Min's view, Zou Zi was not nosy and Bixiao Cave Master was not a problem. But once Zou Zi determined that it was a problem or that Bixiao Cave Master had hindered his way, it would not be a small matter. Pei Min was familiar with the old almanac and knew that there were two or three Taoists who had to hide from Bixiao Cave Master and dared not meet him even though they were very old and powerful. They had been hiding for thousands of years. There was no way. If they offended Bixiao Cave Master, who used the old Taoist name "Caizhou Taoist" and later founded a Taoist temple in Haoran, they would never forgive him.

Over the past ten thousand years, the only person who could make the Lord of Bixiao Cave less stubborn was Daozu.

Zou Zi explained, "When Daoist Fellow Bi Xiao visited Luopu Mountain earlier, he mentioned 'Zou Zi' intentionally, and of course he meant it for me."

Pei Min was even more puzzled and asked tentatively, "Since it was done on purpose, what did the Lord of Bixiao Cave want? As a guest visiting the mountain, how could he make excuses for the Lord of the mountain?"

The Lord of Bixiao Cave has high vision and strange temper. He has been practicing Taoism for nearly 20,000 years. His age and seniority are beyond imagination. He seldom favors young juniors, but Pei Min knows very well that the young Lord of the Mountain who once carried Chen Qingdu's sword "Long Qi" and mistakenly entered the deep lotus flowers is indeed the one who caught his eye.

According to Zou Zi, this was because the heart and actions of the young boy in straw sandals were in line with Brother Bixiao's temperament. He was willing to take care of trivial matters in the world, and he managed them well. He would not turn back even if he hit a wall. He would not "repent" even if he made up his mind, even if he was beaten to a bloody pulp. A man weighing a hundred pounds would rather carry a load of two hundred pounds, and he could still find joy in the midst of hardship, walking shakily while carrying the load, grinning as he looked towards the future.

Zou Zi was also unsure of the Taoist's true intentions, and shook his head and said, "I don't know yet, the thread is not clear. But when I was about to return to Mingyue Daochang, Taoist Bixiao said to me with a smile, 'If a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth.'"

This is an ancient Taoist saying with a great meaning. If a Taoist is not true to himself, he will deceive himself and others, and the heaven and earth will not tolerate him. He will eventually be reduced to ashes. However, as the saying was passed on, its meaning changed and it became stale.

Pei Min's expression changed slightly. Zou Zi was talking about the sky and the Lu family was talking about the earth. Each of them and their surnames occupied half of the Yin-Yang School, but the Lord of Bixiao Cave was about to say "Heaven will punish you and the earth will destroy you"... When an outsider like Pei Min heard it, he always felt a murderous aura coming towards him.

Even if one is as skilled in swordsmanship as Pei Min, when mentioning the old abbot in casual conversation, he would still respectfully address him as Master of the Bixiao Cave, and would not dare to follow Zou Zi's example and address him as fellow Taoist.

I was afraid that the old Taoist priest would suddenly appear and ask me, "Pei Min, am I familiar with you?"

It is rumored that when the world was in chaos and the universe was created, the Lord of the Bixiao Cave, Lingran Yufeng, who had made great contributions to the entire human world, came here to overlook the mountains and rivers. He picked out a piece of land that he liked, roughly drew a circle with his whisk, and without consulting the Taoist ancestor who built Baiyujing, he took Caizhou as his Taoist temple.

As a result, he had a dispute with a mountaintop Taoist priest who had arrived in Caizhou earlier to open a cave. The latter was able to accumulate military merits and survive in the battle of ascending to heaven, but he was not a good person to deal with. He left the cave, showed his true body, and offered a number of well-refined treasures to compete with the bull nose. The truth of Taoism was revealed, and the result was naturally that he was defeated in a fierce battle, so he had to show weakness and beg for mercy. The master of Bixiao Cave was relentless and wanted to take the great monk as a boy to guard the Taoist temple...

The monk was a hero who had experienced hundreds of battles and was famous for his prestige. How could he bear such humiliation? He had to use the escape method, abandon his cave, and was forced to leave Caizhou to avoid the sharp edge. He went to seek the protection of a good Taoist friend whose cave was located in ancient Pizhou. The Bixiao Cave Master followed behind him without haste. The Taoist friend who occupied the land as a king and set up his own flag was also loyal. Although he hesitated and thought about it again and again, he still opened the cave with two tablets engraved with "Golden Well" and "Silence" at the door and let the monk enter. But he should never have complained to the Taoist friend in distress, "Why did you provoke that stubborn old Taoist?" Now it's good. The Bixiao Cave Master heard it, and the result was that the two Taoist friends shared happiness and difficulties and accompanied each other on the road of escape.

It is said that the righteous Taoist friend hid everywhere, and although he was not caught by the Lord of Bixiao Cave, he failed to successfully overcome the tribulation on the road of cultivation, failed to achieve the Tao, and reincarnated. After that, he wandered around the mountains and the mortal world, and finally settled in the Donghai Taoist Temple, working as a fire-making Taoist boy who made elixirs.

Pei Min laughed and said, "In Wang Zhu's Donghai Shuijun Mansion, the two of them didn't fight. Could it be because they both have the last name Chen?"

Zou Zi explained, "Both parties have similar backgrounds and experienced similar circumstances when they were young, which can be described as extremely miserable, so Chen Qingliu endured it as much as he could. If someone else dared to stand in his way, with his usual temper, he would have drawn his sword long ago."

Pei Min said: "I have to admit that Chen Pingan's relationship with the elders is indeed quite good."

Zou Zi said: "At that time, Chen Qingliu actually wanted to go with the flow and help Chen Pingan walk to a more stable fork in the road. It's called a fork in the road, but compared to the established road of the latter, it is still a highway. But Chen Pingan is destined not to accept this kindness."

Pei Min asked: "How do you say that?"

Zou Zi said: "For example, if he chooses to be killed by Chen Qingliu's swords and turned into a ghost, he will have enough reasons to ignore the world's situation and stay dormant, cultivate his mind and cultivate his character. He only needs to take care of the housework in Luopu Mountain and practice Taoism in seclusion for hundreds of years. With Chen Ping'an's intelligence, it is not difficult to find a sword path that is closer to 'pure' and climb to the top step by step. When his realm is high enough, he can go to Bai Yujing for trouble."

Pei Min thought about it and agreed: "Becoming a ghost is a big price to pay, but it means you don't have to worry about external things, you can refine swords in the mountains, concentrate on practicing Taoism, and strive for purity. It is a safe shortcut."

Zou Zi said: "You still underestimate Chen Ping'an's ambition."

Pei Min smiled and said, "How ambitious do you have to be to be underestimated by me and Daoist Fellow Qingzhu?"

Zou Zi said: "The key to one's spirit is the word 'fighting'."

Pei Min said: "I used to be afraid of nothing, but now I dare to fight for everything. It's really a drastic change in my character."

Zou Zi said, "Not entirely. His character did not go to extremes. Instead, he escaped from difficulties and returned to a state of 'freedom'. When Chen Ping'an was a teenager, he had a fierce fight on the corridor bridge. At that time, Qi Jingchun told him not to stop and to continue walking forward. It seemed to be encouragement, but in fact it was Chen Ping'an's heart that made him do it. Without this background as support, I'm afraid that the supreme being would not even look at Chen Ping'an."

Pei Min suddenly laughed and said, "People who have stolen watermelons are different."

Zou Zi nodded and said, "Correct their position, relax their hearts, and calm their spirits."

Pei Min raised his chin and said, "Here it comes."

Lu Tai held a bamboo trekking pole in his hand, chopped wild flowers along the way, and slowly walked towards the two mountaintop figures' teaching mentors. When they met, his opening remarks were a very disrespectful and accusatory statement, "Why do you have to target Chen Pingan?"

The tall and thin old man, one of the three best sword masters in Haoran, Pei Min said, "Did you get the order wrong?"

In the Daquan Dynasty of Tongyezhou, outside the city of Tiangong Temple, a sword-asking contest took place under the rain. Pei Min, who had been pretending to be the housekeeper of Duke Gao for decades, had a murderous aura, but no murderous intention in his heart. It was more like a discussion. Of course, if the young hidden official could not catch it at all, he would also become a dead man. For this reason, the people who "went to the sea to visit the immortals" looked for him again. Ning Yao left Wucai Tianxia with a sword and came to Haoran Tianxia, ​​and also looked for him. As for Cui Dongshan and Jiang Shangzhen, they have been secretly looking for his whereabouts for these years.

However, Pei Min accompanied Zou Zi and made a secret trip to Qingming World. The latest ten people and substitutes were selected by Zou Zi.

So Zou Zi has no fixed place to live, and walks around the world without leaving the ground. He targets both the sword cultivator Chen Pingan and the Taoist priest Yu Dou from Baiyujing, and by the way, he also wants to target the head of the Lu family in the Middle-earth.

In short, whether Lu Shen, who has already reached the perfect state of ascension, can achieve the Dao and when he can enter the fourteenth state all depends on Zou Zi's wishes.

Lu Tai said with a playful smile: "I used to hide from Zuo You, but now I hide from Ning Yao, Second Master, you have made great progress."

Pei Min smiled and said, "Good disciple. You should be afraid of heights."

It can be seen that the relationship between master and apprentice is not bad.

When Lu Chen found Lu Tai, he talked about Liu Cai and Liu Cai by the way, and then he mentioned Zou Zi as well.

Lu Tai did not dare to hide this matter, and said in his heart: "Master, Lu Xiaosan came to me earlier, and he, who is always careless, rarely said anything serious."

Zou Zi didn't need to deduce the content of the conversation between the two parties to guess the general idea, and asked: "I asked you to help pass on a message, shouldn't I ask him about you?"

Lu Tai nodded. That was pretty much what he meant.

Zou Zi smiled and said, "The best thing is to look within yourself, the next best thing is to look to others. Master Lu is not so petty, he just put on a stern face on purpose to scare you."

Generally speaking, those who seek enlightenment and immortality are so busy that they don't have the leisure time to worry about the mundane world. How can they dare to be distracted?

Lu Chen is certainly not an ordinary person, he is more like the ancient people, seeking immortality and understanding life and death. Life is temporary, death is temporary.

That is why Gao Gu of Difei Mountain admired Lu Chen so much. In his last preaching, he said that whoever could learn 70% or 80% of the essence of Lu Chen's view on life and death would not be concerned with life and death in his career as a Taoist.

Not only the Taoist Gao Gu, but also the old scholar who is a sage of literature, all have their own sincere admiration for Lu Chen's knowledge.

Lu Tai looked at the two people behind him and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, what are you talking about.

The young man was tall and strong, wearing coarse linen clothes and walking slowly with a sword on his back, and two ancient gourds hanging around his waist.

Next to him was a young woman with a cold face and a colorful dress, which was extremely gorgeous. But the only flaw was that she was too plain-looking, which was a pity for the dazzling robe, as if she had met the wrong person.

Sword cultivator Liu Cai is at the Jade Raw Material Realm.

The female cultivator is in the Liucai realm.

Finally seeing these two "selves", Lu Tai, the "real boss", had a complicated expression.

One is a yang spirit outside of his body, and the other is a yin spirit traveling far away.

Lu Tai was looking at them, and they were also observing Lu Tai.

Liu Cai smiled and said, "We don't look at you with hatred or resentment, so why are you looking at us like we're bandits?"

Liu Cai said: "It's easy to understand. Without saying anything, he turned the tables to cover up his guilty conscience."

Lu Tai returned to normal and said with a smile: "You two are just talking about drama here."

Liu Cai can be said to be a man of extraordinary talent and advantage. He is truly a first-class figure who was born out of nowhere and emerged at the right time.

The first time his name became known to the world was when he was listed among the top ten youngest people in the world.

He is also destined to have a duel with the young hermit official who has recently been hailed as "the most famous in the past thirty years."
