I didn't dare to sleep too much for fear of missing something, so I put on my clothes and looked out the window. All the disciples outside came out for morning exercises, which was unexpected.
It turns out that Taoist students still have to do morning classes. Feeling new, I went out and watched them do morning classes.
Li Poxiao started practicing directly at the door. He danced very slowly with a murderous sword, as if he was feeling the artistic conception. I stood outside the door, leaned against the door edge, and watched him dance the sword carefully, and I couldn't help but feel
entranced.
No wonder this guy is so powerful. He has probably started training since he was a child. But he is not the only one. There are also many Tai Chi disciples practicing in the Tai Chi Sect under the hill. They hold whisks and follow their instructors to make breakfast.
class.
I am a casual cultivator who has nothing to do, so I am happy and relaxed.
I was about to do something, but several Zihuangmen disciples seemed to have noticed me and came over immediately: "Hey, isn't this the brother who ignored me yesterday? Do you still remember me?"
"I don't know you. I'm sorry. You're blocking my view. If you have something to do, please let me go." I saw that this person was very rude and actually stood directly in front of me.
The people from Zihuangmen are quite domineering.
"Haha, stop pretending, Xia Yitian, if you hadn't turned around and left yesterday, I wouldn't have looked up your name. It doesn't matter if you live here, we are next door. If you have nothing to do, we can communicate more. It just happens.
Yes, Nangong Ye's younger brother Nangong Ping is there, do you want to meet him too? How about I introduce him to you?" Duan Yu sneered.
"Okay? Recommendation, right?" I said with a sullen face, but I wanted to see what they wanted to do.
Duan Yu was startled, he didn't expect me to agree so quickly, but then he looked at the three senior brothers who were very interested and showed a sinister smile.
"Yeah, come, come with my brother, I will introduce you to you, hehe." Duan Yu said, taking me to the back of the thatched cottage. I can't see the view under the hill here. What's the problem?
Hit it and hit it.
"Thank you for taking care of my brother. Today, you may accidentally fall and break your neck. Don't be surprised." Nangong Ping is also a young man, and he doesn't look like his brother Nangong Ye.
He is taller.
"Okay, let's go have a chat. What could go wrong?" I smiled and followed Duan Yu.
Li Poxiao frowned, stopped refining his sword, put the long sword behind him, and said calmly: "I advise you not to leave with Xia Yitian. This person is short-sighted, and he may not be able to come back if he goes."
"Holy shit! You are so heartless. Let's go, brothers, let's ignore this shabby guy." I also frowned, wondering what Li Poxiao was yelling about.
Duan Yu and Nangong Ping were stunned for a moment, and looked at Li Poxiao suspiciously. They asked about me living here, and of course they also knew about Li Poxiao's heroic deeds, so they were suddenly startled.
"Humph! Let's do this for today. We also have morning classes to do! I won't talk to you anymore!" Duan Yu was also direct. He seemed to think that I was not easy to deal with and he was a little bit indifferent, so he used morning classes as a shield.
In fact, I wanted to take a few people to the woods behind and find a way to get into the underworld to play, but Li Poxiao told me that it was a bit disappointing.
The four disciples of the Purple Emperor Sect were discussing something in low voices as they walked. I don't think it will be long before they come to trouble me again.
It was already past seven o'clock when Li Poxiao finished his morning classes. The morning session should be meeting time, and the competition between Taoist disciples was about to begin.
The competition started the day before yesterday, and I heard that today is the last day of the Four Powers Tournament. I haven’t heard of the prizes, but they should be some magic weapons and the like.
Although I am interested, there should be about ten male and female disciples from the Zihuang Sect. I don't want to get into trouble. Now I just want to wait for Aunt Xia to help me solve the case and take a look at Li Poxiao's master.
I just don’t know if Zhao Qian is here, but the Taiqing Sect may not bring her here, right? After all, we are entering the stage of entering the Dao, and all the disciples who can come here are the disciples of the Dao stage.
I was just about to enter the thatched hut to continue sleeping and wait for the summons, when a sound of "Li Breaking Dawn" attracted all my attention.
I turned my head, and a middle-aged man with white hair stood not far behind me.
This middle-aged man has a square face, sword-shaped eyebrows, and an upright look. His Taoist robe is the same as that of Li Poxiao, and the hem of his skirt is embroidered with the Eight Diagrams of Heaven and Earth.
"Master!"
Li Poxiao's low-pitched reply over there made me see the encounter between master and disciple for the first time.
You can't tell the middle-aged man's cultivation level. He must have attained enlightenment, but his cultivation level is the same as that of other mortals, which makes people feel extremely mysterious.
It's the same as when my grandmother was with me, and I couldn't see how extraordinary she was.
"Child, you...have suffered!" The middle-aged man should be the master Li Mufan Li Poxiao mentioned.
"Fortunately, I did not disgrace my destiny. I went all the way down the mountain to slay demons and protect the way. Even if I was shattered to pieces, I never forgot my original intention." Li Poxiao said calmly.
Li Mufan nodded, feeling that his disciple had done a good job: "If I send you away, I will calculate your fate of life and death, but if I don't send you away, what will you do if you stay in the Qiankun Dao? Fortunately, you have been reborn after all the calamities, alas.
, please tell me the cause and effect, and let me see what is wrong."
"There's nothing wrong with that. Is this Senior Li, Li Poxiao's mentor? One day in Xia Xia, your disciple borrowed a corpse to bring back the soul. No, according to the Taoism, that's called body seizing. He took the body of my dead brother Zhang Yuanyi. Although I
My brother Zhang Yuanyi’s parents later died in an accident, but there is still a little brother like me here. I don’t know what kind of explanation the senior is going to give me?” I blurted out without thinking. There are some things that I should find an explanation for. I still need to find an explanation.
Yes, Zhang Yuanyi's body has always been an insurmountable barrier in my heart. If this matter is not resolved, they are not qualified to say anything about eliminating demons and defending the Tao.
"Xia Yitian? Oh, Xia Yitian is you. It turns out that you are indeed a heroic young man. He snatched Zhang Yuanyi's body at dawn. I have already heard about this from others. It cannot be false. However, we cannot stick to formalities in conquering demons and defending the way. Since Zhang Yuanyi has passed away
Sooner or later, it will return to dust. If my disciple does not take it away from him at dawn, it will turn into loess. And there will be one less person in the world who can conquer demons and protect the Tao. Why should we, as cultivators, be like ordinary people?
What about your knowledge? For the sake of peace in the world, should we do something less evil and unkind? Instead of sticking to the rules?" Li Mufan smiled and looked at me as if he were a child.
I laughed dumbly: "Well, Senior Li, since we don't stick to rules, is it right or wrong for me to eliminate demons and protect the Tao, and to kill all the mystical cultivators?"
"That's a demon!" Li Mufan's beard and hair all shook out, and his round eyes stared at me instantly.
The fierce momentum was like a tiger roaring in the mountains. I couldn't help but take a step back and leaned against the wall.
"Is it a demon? Not necessarily. Everything has a cycle of cause and effect. It's like the senior disciple Li Poxiao took away Zhang Yuanyi's body. Was Zhang Yuanyi willing? No, wouldn't I just jump out as a junior? And they killed my relatives and friends in Dalong County
My friend, you didn’t ask me if I was willing, so I jumped out. Same thing, your disciple is not a demon, but you identify me as a demon? Isn’t it ridiculous?” Even facing a person with great ability like Li Mufan,
My body can be scared, but my heart is too stubborn to take a step back.
"Hehehe... Just like what Xia Xiaoniu said, he is a good boy. He actually dares to talk to me, Li Mufan, like this. Since I know you are Xia Yitian and I won't kill you, I can understand even if I know about the Tang family's affairs.
In the situation you were in at that time, how could a young boy in the seeking stage fight against the entire Tang Clan family? The only way was to borrow power, to borrow power from someone other than one's own. It was even more impossible to do so. Moreover, there was no time to deal with the incident calmly when the incident suddenly happened.
It's excusable, but if you kill the entire Tang family by yourself, that's another story." Li Mufan laughed, his eyes shining like stars.
I breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Li Mufan was not as careless as Li Poxiao, but was more humane and sophisticated.
Li Poxiao glanced at me, seemingly relieved of the result.
"I hope you will remember to restrain your own power in the future. Don't fall into the devil's path out of resentment. The more powerful a person is, the more he needs to restrain his own behavior. Are you right, Mr. Xia?" Li Mufan looked at me seriously.
, his face remained calm.
After he finished speaking calmly, I felt a turmoil in my heart. If I answered wrongly, it would be possible for me to fall into eternal disaster. I nodded silently: "Thank you, senior, for your teachings."
Li Mufan did not speak anymore, but took Li Poxiao to the back mountain.
I still don't understand this insinuation. Li Mufan is such an expert, but he has never seen it with his own eyes and can't judge my guilt. Now he doesn't want to lose his reputation of killing me at will, so he betrayed Aunt Xia's face.
He gave me a break, but he also left a warning to prevent me from causing trouble again.
The finals below also started. With Li Mufan here, the Zihuang Sect didn't dare to cause trouble for me. I immediately went down the hill with confidence and arrived at the Tai Chi Sect's arena.
But as soon as we reached the bottom, the final was over, and it turned out to be an instant kill! From a distance, we could only see that it was a battle between two women.
"Brother, can I ask who won?" I couldn't see the winner, so I asked a senior brother to ask.
"That little female lay practitioner is so powerful, she is from the Taiqing Sect!" The senior brother said to me, then broke away from me and rushed towards the crowd.
I didn’t know if it was the finals, but I heard that she was from the Taiqing Sect and a female lay Buddhist. I immediately became excited. Could it be Zhao Qian?
Just when I was thinking about how to find out which female lay practitioner from the Taiqing Sect won, I was shocked by the sound of Brother Tian, which made me turn around.
A beautiful figure fell in front of my eyes. She was dressed in Tsing Yi layman's uniform. The clouds were light and the breeze was gentle. When she saw me, her expression was filled with indescribable joy. This was not Zhao Qian. Unfortunately, there were several Taiqingmen standing beside her.
Disciple, you are looking at me with unkind eyes at this moment.
My heart skipped a beat. Isn't this recognition also accompanied by hatred?
