Chen Pingan came to the boundary north of the Jianqi Great Wall. Except for a newly opened road from the Confucian Temple, the rest had been razed to the ground. When he looked up, there was nothing.
Lu Chen appeared and walked side by side with Chen Pingan in the ruins without any scenery at all.
A city with swordsmen like clouds and numerous wine shops, as well as the scattered residences of sword immortals outside the city, no longer exist.
In Zhongyuxian Pavilion, there once was a woman named Jianxian who liked to plant flowers. She asked Daixuanshan Lingzhizhai to buy an ancient elm tree from Fuyaozhou with a large sum of money and transplant it into the small courtyard. She was probably not acclimatized to the soil and could not bear the ubiquitous presence.
The sword spirit has been withered for many years, but I never thought that one flower would suddenly bloom one year, rising high on the roof, and it was so beautiful.
But when the Kuxia Sword Immortal from the Middle Earth Divine Continent returns to the Sword Qi Great Wall again, neither the woman nor the flower will be allowed to see each other again.
Taihui Jianzong acquired the armored warehouse with his military exploits, Li Cai rented Wanhe House, where there was the sound of pine waves every moonlight, and the Tingyun Pavilion that she bought with money. The whole pavilion was actually like a
It is carved out of a huge piece of jasper.
Chen Pingan squatted down and picked up some soil.
Lu Chen had already handed over the lotus crown to the young hermit official again.
The carving of characters on the city head consumed too much of Chen Ping'an's energy, so it was not appropriate to return the Taoist teachings for the time being. He would have to wait for a while.
Anyway, Lu Chen is not in a hurry to return to Qingming World. If he does, he will be disliked by Senior Brother Yu again. Fortunately, the Master has already spoken, and he does not need to go to Tianwai Tian to fight with those endless demons who are killing the demons outside. Otherwise, Lu Chen
I really just found a reason to stay in Haoran and travel for a few years. Just like this young hermit official next to me, wherever people go, there is Baofengzhai, so where can I put a stall that cannot tell fortunes?
Lu Chen saw that Chen Pingan had no idea of ​​getting up for a while, so he simply sat on the floor and took out a broken stone from the base of the wall, about the size of a palm, from his sleeve.
During this trip to Haoran, if the hidden official of the Sword Qi Great Wall was not Chen Ping'an, Master Lu would have definitely found a hidden wall at the top of the city, carved out a line of "Lu Chen is here for a visit" in small letters and ran away.
Lu Chen raised his hand, "You don't mind?"
Chen Pingan shook his head.
Lu Chen took out a bamboo-yellow paper knife and used it as a carving knife. Finally, Lu Chen carved out a pair of slender plain square seals. He then erased the edges and corners with his fingers and blew away the stone chips with a breath.
Chen Ping'an asked: "It's so difficult to solve the problem of a demon outside the sky?"
So much so that the Taoist ancestors needed to build a White Jade Capital that was "higher than the sky" to resist the endless intrusion of the demons from the outside to Qing Ming's world.
Lu Chen nodded, held the paper knife between his fingers, and was carving the margin of the seal. The rough content was to record his journey to the wilderness with the young hermit official, and what he saw along the way. When he heard this question, Lu Chen showed a somewhat melancholy expression.
"It's difficult. It's very rare. If you go to the poor Taoist, it's just carrying snow to plug the well, cooking sand to make rice, which is a waste of energy. Therefore, Bai Yujing Taoist officials have always regarded it as a hard job, because it will only kill the Taoist practice, without any
There is no profit at all. When faced with those ever-changing demons, monks under the ascension are forced to put out fires. The monks’ Taoist heart is not stable enough. If there is a slight flaw, they will become the bait of the demons, which is tantamount to being on fire.
To add fuel to the fire, in the history of Qing Ming Tian Xia, there were many elderly ascendants who could not break through the bottleneck. They knew that the end was approaching and there was really no other way, so they took risks and tried their luck in the outer world secretly. There was nothing wrong.
Without exception, they all died, either died in the outer world, being played with by the demon outside at will, or died under the sword of Senior Brother Yu."
"Senior Brother Yu once had three close friends who met at the foot of the mountain. The four of them were mountain climbers at about the same time. They were all extremely qualified monks. They met and fell in love with each other. In the end, the four close friends who shared weal and woe climbed the mountain together within a thousand years.
Ascension, only Senior Brother Yu entered Bai Yujing, and the other three Ascension Realms, a great master of Talisman and a pair of Taoist companions, practiced sword cultivation for a while. Can you imagine the kind of behavior that Senior Brother Yu and the others had during those years?
Are you high-spirited?"
Chen Ping'an nodded and said: "We walk together on the great road, and we are invincible in the world."
Liu Xianyang, Zhang Shanfeng, Zhong Kui, Liu Jinglong...
Chen Ping'an would also look forward to traveling around the world with his friends, crossing rivers and mountains, and stopping when encountering an injustice.
"Well, Senior Brother Yu's true invincibility has been spread since then. He is sharp and invincible. As the second disciple of Dao Ancestor, among the many city masters and Tianjun Immortal Officials in Bai Yujing, he is the only one who is not a sword cultivator.
, but dare to say that he is a master of swordsmanship, and every time Senior Brother Yu leaves and returns to Baiyujing, he can bring back a basketful of stories for the 12th floor of the Five Cities."
Just like A Liang in the Great Wall of Sword Qi, later the young Yin Guan, and Ning Yao in the Ascension City in the Colorful World.
"Over the years, rumors have spread, and it has become Senior Brother Yu's self-proclaimed 'True Invincible'. Senior Brother is too lazy to explain anything. He probably feels that a title of 'True Invincible' will be in the bag sooner or later, and it is nothing more than being called thousands of times."
Years are nothing."
"It's a pity that one of the two of them died in Tianwaitian. Senior Brother Yu didn't stop him at that time. He couldn't bear to hand over the sword to his best friend, so he deliberately let it go. Because of this, he was impeached by Bai Yujing Historian, and the complaint reached the level of Master Guandao.
Little Lotus Cave. The other one died under the sword of Senior Brother Yu, leaving only one person left. And because the Taoist companion was killed by Senior Brother Yu, she and Senior Brother Yu completely turned against each other, so that every few hundred years, every time she came out of seclusion,
One thing is to ask Jian Bai Yujing to do something based on his will and do something he knows he can't do."
"All Taoist swordsmanship in the world can only suppress the demons, treat the symptoms but not the root cause, and cannot cure the problem. Pindao's two senior brothers, and Sun Daochang's junior brother, these three people each chose a path, and they all tried to find a way to solve the problem once and for all.
method."
"To give two inappropriate examples, you can regard all the demons who have transformed from the outside as a collection of some kind of magicians, or as a great monk of the fifteenth realm who can "disappear" and "join the path" at will.
"
Chen Ping'an hesitated for a moment and said tentatively: "Buddhism seems to have a true and unbiased statement."
Lu Chen nodded and said, "That's why we talk about demons and heretics, destroying the righteous Dharma."
"The method of the headmaster brother is to personally create the armillary sphere and the armillary image, truly making the sky resemble the earth, trying to determine the uniqueness of each demon, allowing a certain degree of blurring of boundaries, but the amount of the project is too huge.
It is no different from counting the sands of the Ganges River by oneself, but the headmaster brother is still working hard and has devoted himself to this matter for thousands of years. When you go to Baiyujing as a guest in the future, Pindao can take you to see the armillary sphere.
elephant."
Lu Chen talked about the two senior brothers with slightly different titles. One was Senior Senior Brother and the other was Senior Senior Brother Yu.
It seems that in the eyes of Master Bai Yujingsan, the Taoist priest who is truly qualified to be called the "acting master master" is still the senior brother who "does nothing for others".
"Guanzhu Sun's junior brother has an even more shocking idea. He wants to trace the origin of the demon outside and prepare to use the demon to rectify the demon. However, this move has many taboos. Once leaked, it is very likely to cause an immeasurable catastrophe in the human world. That senior brother of yours
To embroider a tiger and secretly create a porcelain figure is even more extreme. Although the method is different, it is actually a step further than the former, which is equivalent to actually taking action."
"My senior brother Yu's method is very simple and crude. He thinks that as long as his Taoism is high enough and his killing power is enough, he can force the demons to gather more and more, and they will have to converge infinitely, and he will come again.
Catch them all in one fell swoop, suppress, imprison and refine them. Even if the merits are complete and the three thousand merits are fulfilled, you will become a saint and become the second person in the fifteenth realm after the master. The price is to vacate the entire White Jade Capital as the head.
Transform into the cage of demons outside. Senior Brother Yu has already planned for this. He wants to ask for a decree from his master, allowing him to refine Bai Yujing into a natal object. He will use Bai Yujing and Renshanhe, the two Taoist heavens and earth, as well as a
The Immortal Sword 'Daozang', together with five hundred spiritual officials, are responsible for patrolling the mountains and rivers, and using this to imprison, refine and kill all the transformed demons."
"Master has always had a vague attitude toward Senior Brother Yu's move. He seems to neither support nor oppose it."
Chen Ping'an suddenly asked: "Why is it called a flood when it is caused by external demons?"
Lu Chen smiled and said: "In the future, wait until you travel to the outer world by yourself to explore the truth."
"For those of us who are cultivators, the closer we are to the top of the mountain, the farther away we will be from the human world. When we finally reach the top of the mountain, or stand on the top of the mountain, then we can climb high and look far away. It is best to learn to cherish every 'unknown'
.Otherwise, the monastic life will soon feel like there is no fun at all.”
"You used to have the fourteen realms of cultivation, cross mountains and rivers at will, and visit Aquarius Island. I believe you have understood one thing. Climb high and see far. The higher you go, the farther you can see. How many times can a boundless land withstand repeated glances?
No matter how big the world is, it has its limits after all. Seeing the same scenery too much, especially year after year, or for thousands of years, will make people feel tired and lethargic."
Lu Chen finally finished carving the margins of the seals of the two parties, "This time we parted, we are far apart. When we meet again, it will take at least a hundred years, or at most hundreds of years, there is no accurate estimate."
If Chen Ping'an hadn't had this far journey and hadn't fallen into the realm, I believe it wouldn't take too long before he would be able to ascend with his sword and travel far across the Qingming world, looking for an opportunity to join the Fourteenth realm.
It's hanging now.
Lu Chen gently threw a seal to Chen Ping'an and said with a smile: "Then each person will have a seal as a souvenir."
Chen Ping'an took the seal, and the bottom line was to read my book at will.
I glanced at it earlier and saw that the bottom line of the other seal also had five characters, "Miao Xin Yi Kuang Shi".
Those few talisman masters are all recognized masters of gold and stone on the mountain. Almost every piece of "leisure" work, with a little bit of "proudness", can be directly used as a town hall by ordinary immortal sects.
The treasure of the mountain.
"In my life, I have dabbled in hundreds of arts and crafts. In all, talent is superior to manpower, but there are only five people who govern Yin Tian."
How confident are people who can say such things, especially the phrase "Heaven is five and people are five", which seems to be self-effacing, but is actually a huge arrogance.
And this person is Master Lu next to Chen Pingan.
Chen Ping'an thanked him and put the seal in his sleeve generously.
Lu Chen once again mentioned the coral penholder obtained from Jade Edition City. He didn't mince words and directly asked Lord Yin Guan to give a price. This shows that Headmaster Bai Yujingsan is determined to get this thing.
Chen Ping'an didn't seem to attach much importance to this thing, it was dispensable, and he didn't refuse to buy or sell it. He just asked Lu Chen to make an offer first, and it was a fixed price. If the price was right, he would sell it. If the price was not right, stop pestering him and put it in Luo Luoshan.
It's better to eat dust over there.
Lu Chen had a headache instead.
Moreover, I have been dealing with Chen Pingan for a long time, and I know that he has no intention of selling for a price, and he will not sell it if he says he won't sell it.
To be continued...
