Sword comes

Xuandu Temple seems to be still the same Xuandu Temple as before. The jade chimes of Taoist studies rise and fall one after another, the morning bells and evening drums are still melodious, the peach blossoms are still there, and the practice of Taoism is still going on.

Those Taoists who did odd jobs in Xuandu Temple have all returned home, with different moods. Some stepped out of the gate of the Taoist temple and directly flew the wind and shrunk the mountains and rivers; some were anxious to return to their own Taoist temples to be the founder of the immortal palace, or to go to the major dynasties to be the national teacher or the protector of the country; some felt that the vegetarian food in the temple was not eatable and went straight to the nearest wine shop to reward their stomachs and satisfy their cravings; some went to the fairy ferry to buy the landscape report without hurrying, used willow branches to beat the bad luck on their bodies, and put on a brand new Taoist robe; and some stood outside the door, silently bowed their heads and bid farewell to this Xuandu Temple.

Some of the Taoist priests who were not familiar with each other had bad relations here, and they would inevitably settle scores with each other later. Some of them became close friends. Only a young Taoist priest who called himself the Taoist of Wetness remained, and he still refused to leave and continued to work as a handyman here.

A beautiful girl of very low seniority in Xuandu Temple, was walking in the corridor with carved beams and painted buildings, holding two Taoist books under her arms. Outside was a white jade square with towering ancient trees and green shade like water. She looked at the Taoist priest who was staring at the sky with a broom in his arms. She really couldn't understand why he didn't leave if he could, and whether he liked to eat prison food so much? The vegetarian food in her own Taoist temple was notoriously tasteless.

This young nun was the girl that the old abbot had asked to grow up beautiful so that Master Lu would take the initiative to marry into Xuandu Temple.

Of course, as she grew older, she realized that the head of the Baiyujing sect, who was lying on the wall with a lotus crown on his head and whistling, naturally had no intention of marrying into the family.

Pei Ji, one of Yao Qing's "Three Corpses", was a Taoist official in the realm of immortals. He had caused trouble for Xuandu Temple, so Taoist Priest Sun asked him to stay in Xuandu Temple to clean the toilets.

Taoist Shi, who no longer uses the name "Pei Ji", is very familiar with those Taoist children who are still young and have not yet practiced fasting. Although the young Taoist priest is serious all day long, the children like to visit his room, flip through books, play hide-and-seek, etc. Taoist children may be young and inexperienced, but they are very sensitive to the emotional expressions of adults, so this Taoist Shi has a good reputation in Xuandu Temple, at least he is very popular with children.

Today, a distinguished guest visited the Taoist temple, Yao Qing from the Qingshen Dynasty.

Yao Qing was already at the Fourteenth Realm, so logically, the person who was to greet such a guest had to be of decent status. However, the person in charge of appearing and entertaining the guest was still not the prince who was acting as the abbot and was not in seclusion, nor was he even the Taoist priest who was the abbot. It was just Fatty Yan, who wore a peach wood hairpin on his head and the standard Taoist robe of Xuandu Temple. His status was the receptionist of Xuandu Temple.

Yao Qing smiled and asked, "Guest Master Yan, before I meet Pei Ji, can I see Mr. Bai?"

Yan Zhuo said in embarrassment: "If Ya Xiang doesn't mind being turned away, I can take Ya Xiang over there to try my luck."

At this point, Yan Zhuo came up with a compromise, "How about I report it on your behalf?"

Yao Qing shook his head and smiled, "Forget it then. It would be a shame to let Yan Zhike make such a wasted trip."

Yan Zhuo smiled and said, "You are too polite, Mr. Ya. I dare not say anything else, but at least during my temporary stay as the guest master, you can completely treat Xuandu Temple as your own home. In the past, Old Sun... Master Sun would hardly discuss other Taoists, and only a few people like you would say good things."

Yao Qing smiled knowingly. "How dare you, Master Yan, say such a thing? I don't believe it."

The one who described Master Lu as "the Little Elegant Prime Minister of Baiyujing" was not Master Sun, who spoke up for justice and "only spoke fair words in his life"?

Yan Zhuo led Yao Qing to find the Taoist priest, and then said goodbye and left.

Yao Qing asked: "Do you know why you were the only one left behind?"

Pei Ji just swept the floor and gathered the fallen leaves into a dustpan.

Yao Qing smiled and said, "It's not that I don't dare to visit you just because you are hiding in Xuandu Temple. It's true that Master Sun is the most protective of his shortcomings, but you, Taoist Shi, are not a registered Taoist priest in this temple. If it involves the fundamentals of Yao Qing's Dao, it's another family's business. Master Sun will not stop me from bringing you back to the Qingshen Dynasty for both public and private reasons, Taoist Tao Xiao, is that right or not?"

Pei Ji's Taoist name is "Tao Xiao".

The peach fruits on the tree do not fall during the winter, and they are hung on the ground like the head of a beheaded man, killing all evil spirits.

Pei Ji remained silent.

Yao Qing said: "It is indeed a pity that Xu Jun from the Dachao Sect got there first and occupied the Ghost Path."

Pei Ji finally spoke, "Then why are you still helping him defend the formation?"

Yao Qing said: "That's why I should help him protect the formation."

Pei Ji said: "Do you really want to kill Xu Jun of the Fourteenth Realm? Do you really want to choose to rely on Bai Yujing?"

Yao Qing said: "Not necessarily."

This time when visiting Xuandu Temple, Yao Qing also brought two women, the national teacher Bai Ou and the sword cultivator Fu Xuanjie.

----

The decision that Chen Pingan made on behalf of Pei Qian was so simple that it didn't seem like a decision. It only had four words: "Let's talk about it later."

The old scholar said he had to go back to the Confucian Temple. Mao Xiaodong's position as Mao Siye was still too low to handle the work.

Today's harsh words, nice words, angry words, strange words, polite words, and hurtful words, no matter who said them, will all fall on Pei Qian's heart.

It would be better not to say a word at all.

As for which year and day “later” will be, of course it is hard to say for sure.

The old scholar smiled and said, "Jiang She, will you walk with me?"

Jiang She nodded, stood up, and followed the old scholar out of the house.

Wu Yan called Bai Jing to go along. Xie Gou was of course not happy about it, but he couldn't resist the woman and was forcibly dragged away by her.

Ning Yao said she wanted to go to Nanposo Continent, and she took Pei Qian with her to go to the Dragon Elephant Sword Sect.

Chen Pingan changed the position of several chairs in the room, put them together casually, came to the door, put his hands up in his sleeves, and said, "Come in and talk."

Chen Ping'an has never had any intention of taking over Lingxi City, but he has always wanted to open a shop in Zhangyi City.

Liu Xianyang and Cui Dongshan raised their hands and high-fived.

Looking at his own son, Xiao Mo looked guilty and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Cui Dongshan patted Xiao Mo on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Mr. Xiao Mo, you almost used your most powerful flying sword, didn't you? You were impulsive. Deputy Dean Jiang and I were both shocked. I guess the old scholar was also worried at that time. If I stop him, I will feel uncomfortable. If I don't stop him, I guess the Confucian Temple will hold meetings on the night boat."

Xiao Mo did not deny it. If Jiang She really dared to pull the Mars to fall to the human world, then he would pull the natal star to stop it.

Before that, no one could find the young master's exact trace. It was not until the celestial phenomena changed one after another that he found the opportunity to draw his sword.

Is there anyone in the world who would be a death warrior like me?

In the end, Liu Xianyang stopped him and said a few harsh words to him, and Xiao Mo did not hand over the sword.

The chairs were arranged in a circle and everyone sat down. Cui Dongshan was the first to break the silence and asked softly, "Are you really going to give away Master's wife's golden robe?"

It's not that I feel sorry for the immortal weapon rank of the Jinli robe, but this robe is not only a token of love, but also one of the betrothal gifts that the gentleman gave to the Ning Mansion.

Chen Pingan lowered his head, rubbed his face with his hands, his eyes were dark and unclear, and he said softly: "Just think of it as paying off a debt, it must be paid off."

This is the best I can do to help Lu Chen.

Chen Pingan looked down at his wrist. There was still a red string tied around it, but it was just a trick. Ning Yao had cut it off long ago, but Chen Pingan had kept it.

Back then, it was a young Taoist priest who set up a stall to tell fortunes pushing a cart all the way to Niping Lane, and it was then that Chen Ping'an opened the door.

If it weren't for Lu Chen's "random matchmaking", he might still know Ning Yao, but it would be difficult for those things to happen.

One of Lu Chen's favorites was once a noble lady of the Longhu Mountain Tianshi Mansion. He died in an isolated island overseas, leaving behind a fairy husk and a golden wine robe, and fell into the Jiaolong Valley.

During the Jiaolonggou battle, Chen Pingan wrote a talisman, "Lu Chen's Imperial Order".

Before the battle of slaying the dragon, Lu Chen and the dragon girl with the story of "burning forehead with mugwort" had a great cause and effect.

Now, Lu Chen is in the heart of the wilderness, which is equivalent to forcibly pressing the pseudo-fifteenth-level outer demon from the Baiyujing outer world onto the earth.

After refining the outer demon, Lu Chen "Lu Chen" it.

The deeper he is involved in this world, the harder it will be to endure, and the more he will sink. The greater the possibility of the foreign demon escaping will be.

Liu Xianyang held his sword across his knees and said with a smile, "Do your best and leave the rest to fate. Don't overthink. Be really busy and worry about the most, and be really idle. Right now, you should let go of the most worries."

Chen Pingan nodded, "I know the truth."

Liu Xianyang laughed angrily, “I’m just surprised. You were the most taciturn person back then, and you didn’t say much all day long. How did you get so many reasons to talk about later? On your journeys, you didn’t pick up money, but only picked up principles, didn’t you?”

Chen Pingan nodded and smiled: "Principles are much easier to pick up than money."

Liu Xianyang leaned back, put his hands on the chair arms, and kicked Chen Pingan, saying unhappily, "It's all over the floor. Anyone who sees it should take a share. I won't give it back, right? Since you're so obsessed with money, why didn't you get anything out of the fight with Jiang She? What's the point of picking it up?"

Chen Pingan reached out and patted his robe, not getting angry.

Xiao Mo admired Master Liu more and more. It was just as the old scholar said in his heart, as long as Liu Xianyang was by his side, your young master's world would not fall.

Cui Dongshan turned around and shouted towards the corridor: "Deputy Mountain Master Jiang, we have an agreement. We must make more money in the future! We can no longer sigh for money."

Jiang Shang was really depressed and listless, lying on the corridor pretending to be dead. The ambition to make money mentioned earlier was gone now, and I had my reasons. I didn't want to provoke Yu Xuan or Liu Jubao. Chief Zhou lay on the ground and sighed like a complaining woman.

It turned out that Cui Dongshan and his gang had conspired to set him up. Sect Master Cui had vowed before that it was reasonable for him to recommend his good brother to be promoted to the next level and become the deputy mountain master, but he did not say whether he should be the deputy mountain master of Luopu Mountain or the ancestral mountain of Qingping Sword Sect!

Jiang Shangzhen never imagined that Master Cui would go to such an unscrupulous lengths to poach his talents.

No wonder Xie Gou was so diligent. If he became the deputy leader of Qingping Sword Sect, the position of chief worshiper would also be vacant.

Since you can no longer be the deputy master of Luopu Mountain, why don't you make up for it?

It happened that Jiang She had just sent the old scholar away and came to the corridor. He sat on a bench with his arms folded across his chest, glancing at the guy whose Taoist name was said to be broken.

Jiang Shangzhen sat up and asked tentatively with a thick face: "Senior, you said before that you would give me a great opportunity in person, does it still count?"

Jiang She smiled and said, "Didn't I say that I won't wait for you if you are late? Could it be that Master Beng doesn't understand what I am saying?"

Jiang Shangzhen was not defeated in battle, he said with a smile: "You are the one who collapsed."

Jiang She didn't care. He stared at Jiang Shangzhen with a complicated look in his eyes and said with emotion: "Resemblance, really similar."

Jiang Shangzhen felt his hair stand on end at being looked at, and even more so at these words, which made his back shiver. His mind raced, wondering, was he the reincarnation of this guy's illegitimate son?

Then how to calculate the generation relationship between me and Pei Qian? Half-siblings? !

Jiang Shangzhen's heart was unstable for a moment. Pei Qian didn't recognize him, and neither did Laozi!

Jiang She seemed to change the subject and said, "Have you heard about the deeds of the Second Ancestor of the Military Academy?"

Jiang Shangzhen shook his head and said, "Why bother with these trivial matters far away?"

Jiang She sneered, "What's behind 'far away in the horizon'? It's right in front of us!"

Jiang Shangzhen was relieved but also worried when he heard this. He asked in shock, "Me?!"

Jiang She asked, "If you were Jiang She, would you look for the traces of the Second Ancestor of the Military Academy among the first few things you did after leaving the mountain? See if you can put aside your past grudges and join in the cause?"
