Life is like a meal at a shared table. People keep coming and going, some eat well at the table, and some keep suffering. Some don’t leave even after they’re full, some keep watching, and some don’t even have a stool to sit on.
Eating while standing at the table with a bowl in hand
, some people are starving with a big empty bowl, and some people are holding small bowls but they can keep adding food. At this table, people have made their debut, some have opening remarks, some have exit poems, some are full, some are starving to death, and some are
Some were drunk, and some left without saying a word.
Liang Shuang left the house with Taoist Ailanthus and Taoist boy Huang Shang. The previously bustling courtyard was now filled with old friends Gao Mian and Liu Laocheng.
When drinking, I am not afraid of common people at the same table, but I am always afraid of outsiders.
Since there were no outsiders, Gao Mian opened the skylight and spoke frankly, saying: "As long as you can quickly attain enlightenment and ascend, nothing will happen, all problems will be solved, and all hidden dangers will be eliminated by themselves. Chen Pingan is a hidden official, you
He is an old friend of mine for many years. I don’t favor anyone. I only tell the truth. To make iron, you need to be strong. If Liu Laocheng becomes the Ascension Realm, the Great Li Dynasty and Yu Guizong will respect you."
Liu Laocheng almost said a damn thing. He took a sip of wine and said in frustration: "Is it because I don't want to ascend?"
Before reaching the Jade Pu Realm, Liu Laocheng's speed in breaking through the realms was not too fast, but he was solid enough to reach the upper realms. In fact, he was already an immortal within a few years of reaching the upper five realms, which was fast enough.
Gao Mian laughed loudly. Good friends are meant to amuse and relieve boredom. There are so many things in this world that are nothing to talk about. Maybe this is real boredom.
Gao Mian wiped his face, stopped smiling, raised his head, and seemed to think of some people in a place, and said to himself: "I am lower than you, but I know best what 'talent' is.
"
"My talent for practicing Taoism is that I can climb mountains quickly. It's so fast that when I'm halfway up the mountain, I don't even see a few familiar faces around me. They're all eating your shit behind me."
"As long as your talent is good enough, the monastic scene halfway up the mountain will still be the same. It's probably only when you get close to the top of the mountain that you gradually realize that something is wrong. There are strong enemies all around. Who is not a stunningly talented person? Until this moment
, I realized that my own talent seems a bit lacking."
Hearing this, Liu Laocheng said: "In the final analysis, our talents are not good enough and we are not truly top-notch."
Gao Mian said: "This is the case with Taoist Ailanthus. Over the years, he has been stagnant in the Yupu realm, unable to break through the bottleneck. As time goes by, he has gone from almost despair to complete despair. The local sword cultivator of the Great Wall of Sword Qi, for the 'immortal'
They all have obsessions, especially Taoist Ailanthus, he just wants to leave
After a trip to the vast world, without the suppression of the great road of hometown, can one's Taoist body suddenly feel relieved? Break the barriers and become an immortal? With this intention together, it is like a flood bursting its embankment, and it is out of control, so the Great Wall of Sword Qi
If there is one less sword cultivator, there will be one more Taoist Ailanthus in the world."
"I once had a friend from the bottom of the mountain who only started making porcelain when he was in his forties. When he was young, he went to the fields to plant rice seedlings without getting a trace of mud on his body. In his free time during the busy farming period, he would sit on the ridge of the field and make up some small animals at will, which were lifelike.
, like a living creature. By the time he is fifty, he will already be the one in the industry..."
Gao Mian paused and gave a thumbs up, "This is called true talent."
Liu Laocheng thought of someone, but it was a pity that Li Tuanjing was there.
Gao Mian looked melancholy and said: "In the past, when I was in Daoxuan Mountain, I vowed to myself that as soon as I became an immortal, I would return to my hometown to kill monsters. But after all these years, I am still a Jade Pu who used a pseudonym to deceive myself."
Liu Laocheng said: "It's understandable that the biggest living person in the world is greedy for life and afraid of death."
Gao Mian raised his wine glass and said with an angry smile: "Chatting with you is like drinking horse urine with you."
Liu Laocheng's current situation is very delicate. He has no strong backer on the Shangzong side, and Jiang Shangzhen has never regarded him as one of his own. Since the Shangxiazong is divided into two continents, the Zhenjing Sect in Liu Laocheng's hands is like a vassal.
Although Zhenjing Sect
Located within the territory of the Great Li Dynasty, there was a Lake Lord who was granted the title of official by the imperial court not long ago. The Zhenjing Sect's "expansion of territory" in the mountains in recent years has been a little slow, but if it really comes to settling the score, the Shangzong will not be able to fault it.
What's wrong with Liu Laocheng?
Probably because of Liu Laocheng's background, it is really difficult for Yu Guizong to really rest assured. There are so many wild cultivators in the world, but the wild cultivators in Shujian Lake are a resounding golden sign.
Moreover, Liu Laocheng is still the number one person in Shu Jian Hu Ye Xiu.
The meeting of the Shenzhuanfeng Patriarch Hall of the Jade Gui Sect is very traditional. Jiang Shangzhen has gone far away, and he always has to find someone to scold him. Liu Laocheng has become the person to "fill the gap". In recent years, there have been many
There are few gossips, such as Jiang Shangzhen and Wei Ying, who have sat at the top of Zhenjing Sect,
They have all been promoted to the top of the Shang Sect. According to this tradition, the next leader of the Yu Gui Sect is Liu Laocheng. If there are more eccentricities than this, there are actually many more. After all, Liu Laocheng still has a few people in the Yu Gui Sect.
Those who are "new friends" can secretly help spread the news.
Liu Laocheng is already the sect leader of the lower sect. If he goes up to the next level, with only a few worthy seats, he can be promoted to the chief lawyer of the upper sect. Is it possible? Does the Yugui Sect still want the Feng Ping on the mountain?
Gao Mian put down his wine glass and said, "I'm going to visit Liulichang to see if I can buy some serious books. I'll leave tomorrow. Just leave me alone. You can drink and talk to anyone you want."
Liu Laocheng nodded and suddenly came to his senses. At this moment, he finally figured out why Gao Mian asked him to help find a place to rest in the capital of Dali.
Gao Mian was born in Jianqi Great Wall, and Chen Pingan was the last hidden official. Chen Pingan went to Cunzhuangdu to find Gao Mian, and Gao Mian came to Dali Capital to watch the ceremony. It seemed that courtesy was exchanged, but in fact it was not!
To Chen Ping'an, the new national master, Shu Jianhu is a person with a deep heart. People who practice Taoism are most afraid of inner demons in the Yuanying realm. People who have attained the Tao and who want to go further in the Ascension realm are afraid of flaws in the Taoist heart.
This means that one day in the future, Chen Pingan will definitely take out his hand and close the "entire lake of letters" in his heart!
Gao Mian felt that Liu Laocheng could not escape, so he had to come here to say hello to Chen Ping'an, as if to say to the young swordsman who was both a hidden official and a national teacher, Liu Laocheng was my friend.
This is not Gao Mian's style of behavior, and it is completely inconsistent with Gao Mian's temperament, but Gao Mian still came.
When he saw the young hidden official walking towards the wild south of the walled city, the mood of the private sword was completely different from that of the private sword who crossed the upside-down mountain and headed towards the vast world.
Liu Laocheng finally couldn't say a single word of thanks, so he took a deep sip of wine and swallowed it back.
The concierge maid, who was repeatedly weighing the talisman and how much it was worth, heard another knock on the door of the copper shop. She had no choice but to put the talisman into her sleeve and walk quickly to open the door.
She was very puzzled. It was strange that a house that was usually deserted had so many guests taking the initiative to come to the door today. This is how ordinary people would say New Year's greetings in the first month.
Opening the door, there stood a well-skinned middle-aged man in a blue shirt, long coat and cloth shoes. He bowed and said: "My name is Zhou Shou, my Taoist name is Huhua. I am a wild cultivator in the mountains and rivers. I was trained as a palace in Shujian Lake."
Liu Dao’s care, so I made a special trip here to pay a visit to Old Immortal Liu and Gang Leader Gao. Could you please help me, Miss, to inform you."
Jiang Shang really likes to join in the fun, so he follows Xiao Mo back to the capital.
Jiang Shangzhen said to himself: "It turns out that we can talk about business like this. I have learned a lot."
She was stunned. This was the first time she heard someone claiming to be a wild cultivator from Shujian Lake. In the past, that is, about twenty or thirty years ago, if she were a serious genealogy cultivator from the Immortal Mansion, walking on the road, she would know who Shujian Lake was.
The character who comes out, don't hesitate, whether you stab him to death with a knife or crush him to death with a box-pressing spell, just rest assured that you will never unjustly accuse a good person.
Fortunately, Shujian Lake now has everything, except for wild cultivators. The maid put away the disgust in her heart and led him into the house. She frowned slightly and suddenly turned around to see the elegant and thin man.
, but he looked around curiously, looking like a village woman going to the city to visit a famous garden. Could it be that she had misunderstood him?
She turned her head again, only to see Liu Laocheng standing not far away. She quickly calmed down and was about to speak when Liu Laocheng waved his hand to indicate that she had nothing to do here.
The maid left slowly and returned to the concierge to continue studying the talisman.
Jiang Shangzhen changed his body, clasped his hands behind his back, and walked around the mansion. Liu Laocheng seemed to be a follower. Jiang Shangzhen said: "Hey, he pretended to be a public servant and used the money of the sect to hide his beauty in the golden house. If Wei Dajianxian knew about it, what would happen?
Remarkable.”
Liu Laocheng smiled, neither taking it seriously nor making any remarks.
I had already thought that Chen Ping'an would clean up Shu Jian Lake, but I didn't expect it to happen so quickly. Are you planning to use yourself to scare the monkeys?
That's right, if you can lift Liu Laocheng's head and throw it into the lake of slips, and then add Liu Zhimao's heads as companions, why can't you turn the page?
Is it too heart-breaking to just ask Jiang Shangzhen, the former leader of Zhenjing Sect, to kill the current leader?
The murderous intention in Liu Laocheng's heart instantly surged like a huge wave, but after all, he was in the fairyland, so it was covered up perfectly.
Seeing Gao Mian who was too lazy to get up to greet him, Jiang Shangzhen shook his fists with his hands and said with a bright smile: "It's better to meet after hearing for a long time. He is indeed the leader of the Gao Gang who is as good as his chair. He is well-deserved and is genuine."
Gao Mian remained seated, squinting at this notorious libertine. Among the three continents east of Haoran, Jiang Shangzhen's reputation was slightly better in Aquarius Continent, which still benefited from the glory of Luopo Mountain.
Before sitting down, Jiang Shangzhen said with a sincere expression: "You have all misunderstood Mr. Jiang. In fact, I am the number one person with a hot heart."
Gao Mian was stunned and couldn't help cursing: "What a fucking disgusting person."
Liu Laocheng did not dare to echo even a single sentence.
Liu Laocheng knew exactly what Jiang Shangzhen did in Zhenjing Sect. How did the man who defected from Tongye Sect to Zhenjing Sect die? Liu Laocheng was even more an accomplice.
Jiang Shangzhen smiled and said: "The first thing I can do in life is not to let others get entangled."
Since you don't have a good impression of me, let you see me and feel that I am "well-deserved". In this way, you don't have to worry about the upper five realms, the old sect master.
Gao Mian nodded, he still had some moral integrity.
Jiang Shangzhen before he became the leader of the Yugui Sect, and Jiang Shangzhen after he became the head of the Yugui Sect, are completely different.
If he hadn't figured out Gao Mian's intentions just now, Liu Laocheng would have taken it for granted that Jiang Shangzhen was here for Gao Mian. The identities of Gao Mian and Taoist Ailanthus have come to light. Jiang Shangzhen was here to help Chen Ping'an as the chief priest of Luopo Mountain.
"Reminiscing about the past" originally made sense. But now Liu Laocheng is thinking about how to keep Gao Mian away from the place of right and wrong.
Jiang Shangzhen dismissed Gao Mian with just one sentence, "Old gang leader, can you borrow the treasure land for use? Jiang needs to discuss some sect affairs with Sect Master Liu, which involves privacy. It is not suitable for outsiders to be present. Please forgive me."
