In the quiet room, Lu Guangqi saw the sudden change in Lin Xiao's expression, but Lu Guangqi didn't react much and just asked him to sit down again.

Then the old man took a tea cup and took a sip, as if recalling something, and spoke slowly.

"Many years ago, when I first took over as the governor of Tantang, Master Zhuguo of Bailongguan once told me that if I take this job, I will not be able to cut off the worldly mind, and this road will be hopeless in the future. Have you thought about it?

”

The old man smiled and shook his head.

"For this matter, I thought about it for three days and three nights, and finally became the governor of Tantang."

"It should be said that the great road is eternal and unchanging, but it is reflected in everyone's heart in various ways. Some people are lonely, and some are greedy for the world. Sometimes, why you practice is more important than how you practice."

"For example, I have a long life and possess magical powers, which is a great blessing to me. From now on, I will talk about the golden elixir, false infant, and even the realm of Yuanying."

"If you ask me if I want to do it, of course I do, but I know what I am capable of. Regardless of whether I can cultivate it or not, I can't stand the days of being friends with shadows and companions with the wind, so why should I say anything else?"

"In the final analysis, the great road treats me well, so why should I be greedy?"

Lu Guangqi turned to look at Lin Xiao.

"I have met you twice, but I can tell that your heart is not in the world, but you often ask why you are always bothered by everything. The higher your cultivation level, the worse this phenomenon will be, but you can

What?"

Lin Xiao was startled when he heard this, nodded subconsciously, and just said.

"The governor is aware of thousands of miles. It is true. Sometimes the subordinates even wonder where they are and what happened. Could it be that they are guilty of Tai Sui? But even if they are guilty of Tai Sui, they cannot do it every year..."

"Wherever people go, where can things go wrong? Hahaha..." Lu Guangqi burst out laughing when he heard this, "This is quite accurate!"

Lin Xiao listened, but could only shake his head and smile bitterly.

After Lu Guangqi laughed, he sighed: "Do you know why this 'something happens wherever you go'?"

Lin Xiao said sincerely: "I don't know, please ask the governor to clarify my doubts."

"Yeah." The old man nodded his head slightly and said in a deep voice: "The so-called Tao generates all things, both in 'Heng' and in 'Hang'. Because your appearance breaks the balance, it will naturally be restored. If you can't change it, people will

Come to you, if you can’t be transformed into human beings, God will come to you.”

"For the former, friendship with humans is a blessing; for the latter, friendship with heaven is disaster."

"Therefore, if the immortal family does not cut off the worldly heart, the mortal world will be chaotic. This is the reason."

After hearing Lu Guangqi's conclusion, Lin Xiao suddenly felt enlightened and enlightened, and immediately stood up and worshiped.

"Thank you, Lord Governor, for clarifying this point and clearing up my confusion."

The old man smiled and waved his hand, asking Lin Xiao to sit down again, and said again: "You don't need to thank me. These insights are mostly what many seniors said when I was practicing in Bailong Temple. I am just

It’s just a matter of picking up people’s wisdom and repeating what is said.”

As Lu Guangqi spoke, he turned his palm and an ancient scroll fell into his palm. He placed it gently on the table and said with emotion.

"This "Nanhuan Miscellaneous Notes" is a collection of insights I gained from copying down a few quotes from my predecessors in the Immortal Sect when I was studying in Guanzhong. Some of them I probably have a clue about, but some are too clever, and I can't really understand them."

Having said that, let’s move forward.

"Now I give it to you. Firstly, you narrowly escaped death in this mission. It is a great achievement for you to be able to do this. Secondly, this thing is useless if it is left with me. It is better to give it to you, and it will be fully used.

Bar."

"This..." Lin Xiao looked at the ancient scroll on the table, his mind was up and down, and he immediately waved his hand and said: "Lord Governor, this scroll is too precious, no matter whether you are a subordinate or a junior, you really can't accept it, and you can't accept it...

”

Just because Lin Xiao knew in his heart that the importance of this object was far greater than one or two magic weapons or a few bottles of elixirs. If it were placed in an ordinary sect, it would be a secret that had been passed down from master all the way and would not be taught to others easily.<

/p>

Now that Lu Guangqi had taken it out like this, how could Lin Xiao dare to pick it up?

Unexpectedly, Lu Guangqi laughed and said nonchalantly: "You can take it if it's given to you. No need to be polite. I can see that you are not a person in the world of mortals. Although I don't know what your success will be in the future or how far you will go, but after this

, it can be considered a good relationship."

Then he added: "Don't push me anymore, I won't like it if you push me anymore."

Seeing that the words had reached this point, Lin Xiao would definitely not be able to accept it, so he held the scroll in both hands, bowed respectfully, and solemnly said: "Thank you, senior, for the book. I am ashamed to accept it..."

In fact, in terms of cultivation, both of them are at the great realm of foundation building, so there is absolutely no need for Lin Xiao to call Lu Guangqi his senior.

But this time is different from the past. After all, he is holding something as valuable as the cultivation experience. Lin Xiao said this, which can be regarded as a direct recognition of this friendship to resolve doubts.

When Lu Guangqi saw Lin Xiao being so solemn, he was greatly relieved and satisfied. He immediately stroked his beard and smiled.

"...Hahaha, good, good! You better be able to stand out in the future and make a name for yourself, and let me take advantage of my old bones and grow my face, hahaha!"

Lin Xiao immediately said: "Senior, don't worry, I will definitely not insult this ancient scroll."

"So best..."

Lu Guangqi nodded slightly, looked at Lin Xiao and said: "The sage has a saying, those who are good at being soldiers do not use force; those who are good at fighting do not get angry; those who are good at defeating the enemy are not willing to be rewarded; those who are good at using others will be inferior. This is called the virtue of not fighting.

Employing the power of people is the best way to match the ancients."

"Remember it and be careful."

Lin Xiao bowed and said: "Yes, I have written it down."

As he said this, he thought in his mind, and then said: "As for the "Buyunxian Commentary" in the old Yulou, I will go there and explore the truth before discussing anything else."

Lu Guangqi said: "That's it, but you need to be more careful. This old Yulou is secretive and has deep methods. If things don't work, take a step back. Let's take a long-term plan and don't be reckless."

"Yes, this junior understands." Lin Xiao replied.

Lu Guangqi also knew that Lin Xiao was not a profligate person, so he said nothing more and said instead.

"By the way, regarding the 'Xifeng Order', although the beginning and end have been concealed, and there is no mention that the person Jiu Yulou robbed was the noble daughter of the country, but Wei Rongxuan died in your hands after all, I guess Miaoxin Palace will have to comment later." Lu Guangqi

Words.

Lin Xiao thought about it for a moment and said: "Senior, don't worry, this junior knows how to handle this matter. There are only four words, one is proportionate, the other is disciplined."

Lu Guangqi took a deep look at Lin Xiao, laughed silently, and said: "Thinking like this will make future generations fearful..."

Lin Xiao bowed and did not answer the question.

Lu Guangqi let out a long sigh, stood up and said: "Today's business is over, just rest. A separate courtyard has been prepared in Zhongdu City, and that boy Zhuo Qinghe will take you there."

Then he added: "Let Zhuo Qinghe follow you these days. He is more familiar with you in Zhongdu City. Let him pass on the news for small things. For big things, just write the sword to me."

Lin Xiaoyan said: "Yes, this junior understands."

Lu Guangqi nodded with a smile and patted Lin Xiao on the shoulder. "Okay, I'll go first. You don't have to worry. This place is very prosperous and not as good as other places. You might as well take a break and walk around before talking!"<

/p>

Lin Xiao also smiled and agreed.

The two said a few more words and said goodbye for a while. Lu Guangqi led a group of secret guards and left the teahouse and returned to Zhongdu.

Lin Xiao and Zhuo Qinghe didn't wait long here, so they also started on their way.

Of course, there is no need to "beat" the radish at all. Lin Xiao even doubted that there is any place in the world that this "Brother Ma" has not been to. It means that Lao Ma knows the way and can understand it to this extent. Seriously

What a weird thing.

The whole journey was silent and there was little gossip.

When Lin Xiao followed a group of merchants and civilians and walked through the Ande Gate, which is more than two feet wide and more than three feet high, just south of Zhongdu City, he was really shocked.

My heart says to you, an isolated island overseas and a tiny place, is it necessary to build a capital to this extent?

It's a bit too grand...

I also learned from the "guide" Zhuo Qinghe that the entire Zhongdu City has three gates on each side and five gates on the south side. In addition to the palace, there are 108 squares in the city, as well as two cities in the east and west.

The other courtyard that Lu Guangqi mentioned is located in the northwest of the city, within the Zunyi Square, which is separated from the Taiping Immortal Square outside the Xianguang Gate. It is also very convenient.

Of course, this wall is the city wall. If you want to get in or out, you still have to go through the city gate.

According to Zhuo Qinghe, this courtyard was originally a private residence given to Lu Guangqi by the emperor. Because the governor of Tantang was really loyal to his duties and often lived in the headquarter of Tantang and had no home at all, so it was like this

Empty.

When Lin Xiao heard about this, he was deeply moved. At the same time, he was also surprised by the high regulations and complete facilities of this courtyard.

There are dozens of rather impressive houses, main halls, back halls, extension buildings, and gardens, not to mention, among them there is actually a training house connected to the spiritual veins, and an alchemy fire hall!

Faced with such a handiwork, Lin Xiao seemed to understand in a daze why some people with cultivation skills finally gave up the road and insisted on hanging out in the mortal world. This requires a name, power, and people to sit in a safe place.

Then everyone can worship and call for the wind and rain, which is too nourishing.

Isn't this much better than sitting in the battle array, retreating from the world and practicing hard?

I want to ask, among the immortal sects, aren’t those with extremely high cultivation levels admired by thousands of people and placed high above them?

But the problem is, the difficulty is completely different...

Of course, Lin Xiao could only think in his mind that if he were really asked to give up his path, he would not do it no matter what.
To be continued...
