Peach blossoms are best seen while boating on the water, and the bright moon can be admired from the rooftop.
This is Cui Dongshan’s fallacy.
Feng Xuetao was like a piece of brown candy stuck to him, and he had no choice but to follow the boy in white around.
In fact, Feng Xuetao didn't have a good patience or temper, so he couldn't do anything with a person like Cui Dongshan. The key point is that Cui Dongshan is still an annoying talker. He didn't drink enough on the boat before, but he was full of words.
Cui Dongshan did not lie to Xie Gou. He indeed followed the list in the Ministry of Justice's files and gave a brief review of all the Qi practitioners who presented their clearance certificates.
The location of the headquarters in the mountain has been completely selected, which leads to more official hats and empty chairs than genealogical monks. The Qingping Sword Sect is really short of manpower. The main reason is that I, as the leader of the sect, do not have enough prestige to conquer the heroes with a single call.
Gather.
Fortunately, when we were on the Tongyin ferry earlier, my husband and Xie Gou each recommended a qigong practitioner for different reasons. Xie Gou said that the little girl had decent qualifications, while my husband said that the monk had a good character.
After taking Feng Xuetao for a walk, Cui Dongshan has decided to take the young nun with freckles under his wing. As for the beautiful girl named Jian Xiu, it is yet to be decided.
Cui Dongshan asked mysteriously, "Brother Feng, what do you think of Kuang Kui's qualifications?"
Feng Xuetao, who mistakenly thought that he had made a mistake, used his magical power to take a look at Kuang Kui. After confirming that he was correct, he gave a relatively euphemistic evaluation, "It's very ordinary."
Cui Dongshan said, "Brother Feng didn't see that this boy has a deep family background and is proficient in qi-gaining methods?"
Feng Xuetao said truthfully, "I didn't see it."
Even if you can see it, so what, if the Qi Master is good at looking at Qi, it will be the icing on the cake, but for Feng Xuetao's level of ascension, Kuang Kui's ability can really be ignored.
Cui Dongshan asked, "You have never asked Brother Feng if he has any disciples?"
Feng Xuetao said, "There are only a few anonymous disciples. Most of them have died of old age. There are only a few left who I haven't seen for many years. I have no intention of looking for them. Why does Sect Master Cui ask this?"
Cui Dongshan raised his chin and said, "Accepting disciples on behalf of disciples, that's a nice talk."
Feng Xuetao shook his head. It was a mess, what and what.
Cui Dongshan looked shocked and said, "Could it be that Brother Feng wants to take over as a master and accept a disciple?"
Feng Xuetao's face was stiff and he said in a deep voice, "Sect Master Cui, don't say it's a joke."
Cui Dongshan rubbed his hands and smiled.
Feng Xuetao asked, "Sect Master Cui, can you speak a few words to me clearly?"
Cui Dongshan clapped his hands vigorously, "That's right. Brother Feng, don't guess what I'm thinking, just ask."
Feng Xuetao said, "I am all ears."
Cui Dongshan rarely said with a serious look, "Kuang Kui has a good character. That's what my husband said about him. Feng Xuetao, you should know that when my husband looks at people and says they have a good character, that's really a very high praise. Say something."
It's ugly, you won't get this kind of evaluation, at least for the time being. Of course, you have a similar view of my husband. Next, I will definitely take Kuang Kui to practice in the Qingping Sword Sect, but how to arrange the identity?
I have my own plan. If I remember correctly, Brother Feng has an anonymous disciple named Yin Yi. There is a mountain top in Aai'aizhou called Jie Mountain, which is now Yupu. He has lofty ambitions, but due to insufficient military exploits, he has never been able to establish a sect.
In addition, he also has a daughter who is a Taoist cultivator and a sword cultivator. She has longed for the Great Wall of Sword Qi since she was young, but Yin Yi loves his daughter and is reluctant to let her go there to experience. Yin Ying ran away from home twice and was killed by the old antique father Yin Yi.
After being brought back to the mountains, the relationship between father and daughter has been very tense in the past few decades. When the Great Wall of Sword Qi ascended to the colorful world, Yin Ying knew that she was destined to never go to the battlefield to kill demons like the two local swordsmen in this life.
She was so disillusioned that she even dropped to the freezing point and threatened to give up the practice of swordsmanship. Yin Yi was very worried about this. If he wanted to know how to untie the knot in his heart, of course, he had to untie the knot and the one who tied the knot. Yin Yi could first recognize Kuang Kui as his wife.
Personal disciple, with this relationship, I can help him introduce a sword immortal from the Great Wall of Sword Qi to Yin Ying and recognize him as his master. But Yin Yi must pay a price that is not a price. He and Jie Shan must become
The price of enshrining and descending from Qingping Sword Sect is that he will never have the chance to become the founder of the sect based solely on his ability and luck. It is not a price, but because with Yin Yi’s cultivation potential, qualifications and connections, such ambitions,
This is an extravagant hope. Of course, once we meet, I can make him completely give up and be convinced. He, Yin Yi, has no destiny to start a sect, but at the same time, his daughter has a great chance to be there.
After a lapse of two thousand years, the first swordsmanship sect was established in the continent. The Qingping Sword Sect and I are happy to see this happen. If the Qingping Sword Sect is involved, then the Qingping Sword Sect has never been able to deal with it.
Beiju Luzhou, do you need to be a little more tolerant and consider whether this matter is recognized by my husband and Luo Luo Shan? During this period of time, which is not short or not long, since you Feng Xuetao
You are the preacher of Yin Yi, so don’t expect to stay out of it. You and I had a heart-to-heart talk before, and I, Cui Dongshan, said that I was a transitional sect leader. Are you not a transitional worshiper of the Yugui Sect? Jiang Shangzhen treats you as a true friend, and he is very clear about the habit of Xianyun Yehe.
Yexiu Qingmi is not in line with the ethos of Yugui Sect, so he naturally does not want to and will not completely tie you to death in Yugui Sect."
"My husband helped the Qingping Sword Sect find a secret protector, Qing Tong. Then I, who serve as Cao Qinglang's younger brother, should also find a reliable protector for the next sect leader."
"After hearing this, Brother Feng suddenly became enlightened. After going round and round, after talking about it, the one I really like is you, fellow Taoist Qingmi."
Feng Xuetao was stunned and speechless, as if he was meeting the young man in white next to him for the first time.
Cui Dongshan continued to talk eloquently, "You may have heard a rumor that the Chenghuang Temple in Haoran Tianxia secretly keeps a separate list to record the 'famous people' who have meritorious deeds. Like my senior sister, whose name is in
Among them, when she travels to various countries, she can receive special courtesy when passing through the Town God's Temple. As for Feng Xuetao, she does not have this treatment. But at the Confucian Temple, it is really different, just because she once practiced Qing Mi in the wild.
He once risked his life, first followed A Liang to the hinterland of the wilderness, and then partnered with Jiang Shangzhen to protect the way of a group of young people including Cao Ci, and had a close encounter with a monk from the wilderness lineage. But Feng Xuetao didn't want to do that at all.
I know how to make use of this seemingly unearned credit, but I know how to maximize its benefits, and I do so in a reasonable and disciplined way, without worrying about killing the goose that lays the goose to lay the eggs.”
"My husband is a scholar, and I am a businessman. My husband is rigorous in his studies and self-cultivation. He wants to combine benevolence and righteousness with merit, but I only pursue merit. So while I am still the master of the Qingping Sword Sect, you must cherish this once-in-a-lifetime indulgence."
This is a fleeting opportunity. Feng Xuetao, I have already specified the minimum price, will you do this deal?"
"I'll count to ten and don't wait until the time comes."
When Cui Dongshan was about to count to ten, Feng Xuetao said, "I only have a very wild utilitarian question to ask."
Cui Dongshan stopped the conversation, nodded with a smile and said, "I'm just waiting for your words. Don't worry, I will help you point out a path to unity. Whether it can be successful or not, I conservatively estimate that it will be between 50 and 50."
Feng Xuetao stabilized his mind and asked, "Seriously?!"
Cui Dongshan said, "The ugly words are ahead. It will definitely take you a long time. It could be as short as eight hundred years or as long as several thousand years. It is possible."
Feng Xuetao said in a deep voice, "It's a deal."
Cui Dongshan asked tentatively, "This kind of honest gentleman's agreement doesn't require an oath or a written document, right?"
Feng Xuetao said, "Friends are friends, business is business, we have to find a middleman to help witness this."
Cui Dongshan asked carefully, "For example?"
Feng Xuetao said with a smile, "Zongzhu Cui is a scholar of heaven and man, and is best at understanding people's hearts. You and I know this well, so why bother."
Cui Dongshan stamped his feet and said, "I have a normal relationship with the respected Huolong Zhenren."
Feng Xuetao said with a dark face, "I mean Chen Pingan!"
Cui Dongshan struggled for a moment, pretending to express his feelings, and then he was relieved and vowed, "Either way, my husband finally agreed."
Feng Xuetao's face showed sarcasm, "Sect Master Cui, can you be sincere and think that I am a fool?"
Cui Dongshan shook his sleeves and said with a smile, "Okay, then I will be frank and tell you the truth. There is no business without taking risks. If I remind you again with good intentions, you dare to threaten my husband."
I, I will kill you."
Good guy, I can turn the page faster than I can turn the book.
Feng Xuetao's intuition told him at this moment that the boy in white was not joking.
In an instant, Cui Dongshan rubbed oil on his feet and was about to run away.
In the end, the visitor still held his head down and said with the same smile, "Zong Leader Cui is amazing. Is he so kind and kind to do business with others?"
Feng Xuetao gloated and laughed endlessly, as expected, one thing brought down another.
It turned out that when Cui Dongshan pretended to have a heart-to-heart talk with his husband, Feng Xuetao really told Chen Ping'an about the matter, but he cut off the content and only said that he had reached an agreement with Cui Zongzong and was willing to worship the Jade Guizong after he resigned.
, immediately transferred to Qingping Sword Sect to serve as a long-term registered worshiper. Although Chen Ping'an didn't know how Cui Dongshan persuaded
This Ascended Realm Wild Cultivator, after all, it was a great good thing, and there was no reason to refuse it. As soon as he put his mind to this place, he heard Cui Dongshan saying the most truthful words over there, who was he going to kill?
.
Cui Dongshan shrank his neck and cursed Feng Xuetao as a "dog-like wild cultivator."
The boy in white was beaten with a chestnut and screamed, and he scolded him, "We are all members of our own family, how can we talk to the future minister?"
Chen Pingan clasped his fists and said with a smile, "Fellow Qingmi Taoist, please be more patient in the future."
Feng Xuetao returned the salute with clasped fists, "That's easy to say."
Chen Pingan smiled and said, "In the future, when you get to Qingping Sword Sect, you can often go to Luopo Mountain to drink tea and wine."
Feng Xuetao heard Xian's elegance and said with a smile, "There is no need to complain. I can trust Sect Leader Cui's business experience."
Chen Ping'an nodded and said, "Dongshan usually doesn't speak well, but most of the time he is reliable in what he does."
Feng Xuetao hesitated for a moment and said, "I have doubts."
Chen Pingan laughed loudly, "It seems that Brother Feng no longer regards himself as an outsider. It's very, very good."
For some reason, Feng Xuetao discovered that Cui Dongshan was completely different after Chen Ping'an showed up. To be precise, when the husband and student were present at the same time, such as at the wine table on the Tongyin Ferry earlier, Cui Dongshan would lose all his momentum.
And there is no awkwardness at all, just like a silent and tacit understanding, it is natural and there is no reason to say it.
Chen Ping'an said, "Don't talk about him in Dongshan. Over at Qingping Jianzong, Qinglang is more of a serious scholar than me, who is the teacher. At the same time, he is more flexible than me and has a firm determination to learn. I hope that Brother Feng will be better in the future."
Please take care of me and give me guidance. I would like to thank you in advance."
Feng Xuetao hummed, "Here in the capital, I have met Cao Qinglang several times and I have a good impression."
Feeling personally the harmonious master-disciple relationship between Chen Ping'an, Cui Dongshan, and Cao Qinglang, Feng Xuetao felt sad in his heart and wondered whether he should really go to Aai Aizhou to meet the man who he would not dare to see unless he went there.
Are you looking for your disciple Yin Yi?
Among the anonymous disciples, there are different qualifications and different people's hearts. Some use the tiger skin as a banner to use their own names, while some gradually drift away and become strangers. Since you, Feng Xuetao, don't take us seriously.
, we don’t care whether it is by name or not, but there is also an outlier like Yin Yi, who always wants to practice hard and establish a sect, and one day he will prove to the master that he is qualified to be a direct disciple.
It seemed that Yin Yi had thought of hiring Xie Songhua to be Yin Ying's swordsmanship master. Thinking of this, Feng Xuetao asked, "Why didn't Xie Songhua serve as the enshrinement of the Qingping Sword Sect?"
Cui Dongshan chuckled.
Chen Pingan said helplessly, "Maybe Xie Jianxian likes freedom and doesn't like to be restrained by the sect. I guess the reason why she is willing to serve as the family worshiper of the Liu family in Aai Aizhou is because of the friendship with her fellow countrymen."
Cui Dongshan was still minding his own business there, but he got another solid chestnut blow.
Feng Xuetao felt as if he was falling into the clouds, but he did not delve into the reason.
It turns out that Chen Ping'an is really afraid of Xie Songhua, and gets scared every time they meet. This female swordsman from Aaizhou is not an ordinary swordsman, and she is a good swordsman. She drinks and talks dirty.
"I really can't find my favorite Taoist companion. In fact, Chen Yinguan can make do with it. Don't worry, I don't want a status. I can hide my beauty in the golden house."
"Don't forget that Mrs. Song Pin is aloof in front of others and puts on a lot of airs. In fact, when we talk about the boudoir in private, it's all nonsense. Even I can't stand it, tsk tsk tsk..."
No matter how courageous Chen Ping'an was, how could he dare... to lure a wolf into his house?
Cui Dongshan asked with a smile, "Why did His Majesty the Emperor of Yunyan Kingdom lead a group of high-ranking court officials in an alley and act like a wooden man?"
Chen Pingan said angrily, "Isn't the alley cooler than the restaurant?"
Cui Dongshan's chicken pecked the rice, "Okay, okay, okay, okay."
Feng Xuetao laughed it off.
Chen Pingan put away his thoughts and returned to the fly restaurant, where he continued to drink and eat hot pot with Fan Tong and Xie Sanniang.
The table next door stood up to pay the bill and left the restaurant, but soon discovered that the situation in the alley outside was unusual.
A narrow alley is roughly divided into three "hills". At the front is a pampered middle-aged man with a jade pendant with a dragon pattern hanging on his waist. Standing next to him are two majestic old men. One has a white face and no beard, with his hands in
Sleeves, habitually bowing his head and bending over. The other person has a tall crown and ancient appearance, full of Taoism, and sharp eyes. After him are seven or eight men with strong official aura and different ages. They all wear casual clothes. Then they approach the corner of the alley.
At the intersection, there were all burly young men wearing imperial swords. Under the moonlight, the cuffs of some of them slightly showed the light of their armor.
When the group of people leaving the restaurant saw this scene, they had no choice but to turn around and walk away from the alley, walking slowly.
Before they left the alley, a woman in the team was extremely excited and said in a trembling voice, "I recognize two princes in the alley."
The other woman was in high spirits and said in a low voice, "It seems that there is also the Minister of Rites."
As for the several Qi Refiners, they communicated with each other from the bottom of their hearts, "The middle-aged man standing next to him seems to be the new national master of Yunyan Kingdom."
"So, the emperor is here in person?"
"You can't just wait for someone? If that's the case, it's strange. Who can have such a big name nowadays?"
"Is it the leader Wei Ying of the Yugui Sect?"
"Wei Dajianxian is so free and eating hot pot in the same restaurant as us?"
"Is it that Sect Master Cui from the Qingping Sword Sect? No, I heard that the Sect Master is a young man with good looks and likes to wear white clothes."
Anyway, they just couldn't figure it out.
In the store, Chen Pingan asked seemingly casually, "Fan Tong, do you want to find a job at the foot of the mountain, such as making an iron rice bowl in the government of a small country, or go to the mountain to find an immortal sect suitable for practicing Taoism."
Fan Tong said carelessly, "You can choose whatever you want. The question is who is willing to accept us, Master Chen Xian, right?"
Xie Sanniang thought for a while and said, "Master Chen Xian, to be honest, we still want to go to the mountains to find a chance to have an immortal family."
Chen Pingan nodded, "I understand."
Standing up, Chen Pingan clasped his fists and said goodbye, saying with a smile, "We are full of wine and food. The mountains are high and the rivers are long. We are destined to meet again."
Chen Pingan stretched out his hand and pressed it softly to indicate that there was no need to be pretentious and stood up to see him off. "We are so familiar, so don't be polite."
Fan Tong remembered something and was about to speak, reminding Chen Xianshi that he had forgotten to pay, and that we had agreed to treat you and you would pay the bill, when the woman stepped on the back of her shoe and gave her a fierce glare.
The man was a little confused, and Master Chen Xian was not short of money. This time he was treating us, and we can invite him back next time. Master Chen had already said that they were all acquaintances and there was no pretense.
In a quiet alley.
A local woman from Beijing who was walking at the end of the team turned her head and looked into the alley by some strange mistake.
She had been in the romantic scene for many years, and had never seen any scenery, wealth or arrogance, but she still saw an unbelievable scene that she would never forget.
I remember that because they were sitting next to each other, she and the last man sitting at the next table happened to be sitting with their backs facing each other. Once when she was toasting those immortal masters, she felt that the seat was cramped, and she wanted to remind the man behind her
, could you lean closer to his wine table? But when she turned back after toasting, she found that the man had already moved the bench on his own initiative.
However, when the poor man in blue shirt walked out of the restaurant, the middle-aged men in the alley began to bow and salute. At the same time, everyone bowed their heads or bowed their heads, and there was a faint clanking of iron armor.
————
Zhao Tieyan, leader of the Danjing sect, is a Qi practitioner in the cave realm. He has been a Taoist priest for more than a hundred years. He is short in stature and has clear eyes. He wears civilian clothes and straw sandals and has an iron mace engraved with the thunder talisman on his waist.
When Zhao Tieyan and his group of Qi practitioners arrived at the capital city of Yunyan Kingdom, they just followed the small fish in the stream and entered the Longtan. They did not cause any waves, unlike in that remote small country where they could still be called gods a few times. Zhao Tieyan has a place here.
Shimen Industry opened a grocery store in Yulindu. It was difficult to find with twists and turns, so you had to ask for directions. If you wanted to ask how the business was, it was probably not as good as the nearby midnight snack restaurant selling grilled fish. Zhao Tieyan frowned when he saw it.
My fellow merchant, Bu Zhan, could only console me by saying that business in the mountains is always like this: if you don't open for three years, you will have to wait for three years if you open.
The other two groups of Qigong practitioners who were traveling with them thought that they could gain some kudos and find a place to stay in the capital, but they never thought that they would have to find an inn by themselves.
In fact, both parties are embarrassed, and it is even more embarrassing if they pretend not to be embarrassed at all.
After several years, the brothers reunited, and Shang Zuo kept pouring out his bitterness at the wine table. It turned out that the high-ranking officials in the capital, not to mention the emperor's relatives and Jiuqing, all had very high vision.
Lang Guan, it is not easy to cross the threshold. They do not take the monks of the lower five realms seriously at all. Over and over again, Shang Zuo wants to return to the sect, hide in the mountains, and pick up the practice again. Zhao Tieyan also thinks about this.
With no choice but to do so, he silently made up his mind. If it really didn't work out, he would stay here and let Junior Brother Shang return to the sect with the new disciple.
In today's world, the immortal masters on the mountain are not rich, but the countries below the mountain are not rich. They are all tightening their belts and living a life.
Several juniors who came down the mountain to practice this time, they started practicing Taoism late, and their qualifications are still relatively young. They don’t have much feelings about it. They just feel that when they go out to practice Taoism, they should often eat and sleep in the open air and endure more hardships.
Master Zhao Tieyan has experienced many blessings. He remembers that when he was young, he went down the mountain with his elders to practice for the first time. When he was young, he said in Taoist books that the world of mortals is vast, fame and fortune are wrapped in turtle shells, etc. It turned out to be all nonsense.
When people go to the foot of the mountain, they enter a world of flowers. The elders are also open-minded. There is one thing to say on the mountain, but it is another thing in private under the mountain. They are not pedantic and old-fashioned. They just allow a few of them to be more casual.
In fact, you don’t have to strictly abide by the rules and precepts. You just need to remember to go back to the mountains and don’t talk nonsense, lest someone from Zhanglu’s lineage listens and takes the opportunity to make a fuss out of a molehill.
Shang Zuo had a complicated look on his face and murmured, "Senior Brother Zhao, how could I have been living a good life in the mountains and cultivating Taoism, but it has turned into a business?"
After drinking a bowl of barley wine, which was as light as water, Shang Zuo tugged at his collar, shook his sleeves, and laughed at himself, "My body is full of copper stench, and I can't even wash it off."
Zhao Tieyan smiled and said, "This time when I go down the mountain, it was the head brother who asked me to take your place."
Shang Zuo glanced at the master lawyer and waved his hand, "Don't fool me with such lame excuses. There is no reason for a sect to open a shop in the market to make money all year round. I am not complaining to you because I want to go back and hide in peace.
It's okay to live a miserable life, but you can't let me not complain, right?"
Zhao Tieyan became even more sad, but he still smiled and said, "It will get better in the future. When the head brother becomes a Jindan Earth Immortal, our sect will truly have a place on Tongyezhou Mountain."
Shang Zuo just drank a bowl of wine and said with a depressed look, "I saw a good seedling not long ago. The qualifications are really good. I think they are no worse than the head brother. It's a pity that I didn't fight for it and it was snatched by others. I'm a coward."
, I don’t even dare to let go of a fart.” .??.??
Zhao Tieyan was speechless, hesitated, and asked, "Still in the capital? Is there any room for mediation?"
Shang Zuo shook his head and said, "The person who robbed someone was a young Nascent Soul Realm. In fact, the other person was quite kind and polite. Besides, the kid had officially become a disciple, and he even took the initiative to come to me and apologize. He also said
Send a message to his master that if there is an opportunity in the future, he will definitely repay a portion of the fate to the Danjing Sect."
Zhao Tieyan sighed. Among the ancestors of the sect, the one with the highest level was Yuanying.
It's just that the last time Tongyezhou suffered a great disaster, the entire sect moved to Wucai Tianxia with the Divine Master. Zhao Tieyan and the others were unwilling to leave and took the initiative to stay. Except for the head brother and the senior sister who is now in charge of money, the rest
Zhao Tieyan and Shang Zuo were not even direct disciples of the Ancestral Master Hall back then. I heard that the Colorful World will open its doors again in eighty years. I wonder what the situation will be like then.
Zhao Tieyan said, "Before going down the mountain, senior brother and senior sister Huang called me. They have made a decision. I want to talk to you and want to hear your opinion."
Shang Zuo picked up a salted peanut, chewed it carefully, looked sad, but said in an extremely firm tone, "No matter what you discuss, I have already thought about it. Even if they return to Tong eighty years later,
Ye Zhou, I don’t recognize them as the ancestors anymore. If the three of you want to recognize your ancestors and return to the clan, help me cancel the Danjing sect’s genealogy, and I won’t go back to the mountain to be looked down upon. Anyway, it doesn’t matter if you have me or not.
Both. It was the same in the past and it will be even more so in the future.”
Zhao Tieyan smiled and said, "You are mistaken. We all have the same view as you."
While they were talking to each other over wine, Shang Zuo's disciples came to the backyard to report the news. A Qi practitioner who was out looking for money came to the shop. He handed in a greeting card and was told that he had a small sect and was proficient in building institutions.
Together with the economics, we will see if there is any chance to cooperate with your faction. Zhao Tieyan opened the note box, read the text on the greeting note, and handed it to his junior brother. In the end, Zhao Tieyan and Shang Zuo looked at each other and were completely confused.
Why don't you find someone with strong family background to cheat you in the autumn wind?
Shang Zuo told his disciples, "Send the other party away with good words and don't start any unnecessary disputes."
Unexpectedly, the uninvited guest had already left the shop and came to the backyard. With a smile on his face, he stretched out his hand and said, "Zhao Zhanglu, Brother Shang, long time no see!"
Just because the other party was too warm, and the relationship was as hot as meeting an old friend after a long absence. Zhao Tieyan glanced at Shang Zuo, and Shang Zuo also looked at Zhao Tieyan, thinking that it was the other party's friend who came to visit.
I've seen people who are messy, but I've never seen anything so inexplicable.
The young man in white didn't seem to have any self-awareness, with a sincere expression on his face. He stood on the patio in the courtyard and talked to himself, "It is said that there are twenty-four pools in the Danjing sect mountain, each named after the solar term. It is really a beautiful place suitable for practicing Taoism, which is both eye-catching and nourishing for the heart."
What a great place. From my point of view, it would be unreasonable not to have a person who reaches the fifth realm."
The young man continued, "I also heard that the founder of your mountain was a traveling doctor. He sold medicinal materials in the mountain market. He met a strange person by chance. Because of his kindheartedness, he got a fairy fate and embarked on the path of spiritual practice. After that, he encountered many strange encounters and was also influenced by it.
Well-deserved. Until the Danjing Sect’s incense and Taoist traditions are passed on to this generation of leaders, what should I say? Every family has sutras that are difficult to recite?”
There was a man with his arms folded across his chest at the door. Hearing this, he let out a sigh.
Shang Zuo looked unhappy and said, "You have something to say."
The young man said, "I also have a serious genealogical monk in my own mountain, but it is a new sect after all. I don't have enough foundation, so I have to go out to make money myself. In addition to me, who is a master of construction, there are also several farmers, medicine
As a monk, it is not difficult to build and take care of gardens, cultivate exotic flowers and rare herbs, transplant ancient immortal trees, select and move Feng Shui stones, make blue cranes, white deer, flying fish in the clouds, etc., and can make a mountain sect more immortal.
Family style, in addition to imitating ancient monuments in memorial arches, using the name of cliff carvings, and even serving as temporary worshippers, paper guests, helping to support the scene, or making connections, renting ferries with other families, etc., as long as you can think of it, I can do it, you guys
Unexpectedly, I can do it without bragging. In short, I just rely on my ability and conscience to earn some hard-earned money when I go out."
The young man raised his thumb and pointed at someone behind him, "For example, this friend behind me is a hidden medicine master and Qi practitioner. He is definitely a good player!"
Feng Xuetao smiled and said, "The craftsmanship is not bad."
Before becoming an Earth Immortal, Feng Xuetao's old profession was indeed a farmer's business.
Zhao Tieyan held back his laughter, "How do you calculate the specific price?"
The boy in white said, "You can sit down and talk slowly."
Shang Zuo warned from the bottom of his heart, "Brother Zhao, be careful that the other party is coming for your mace. Maybe they have already come here and stepped on it, just waiting for you to show up."
After all, the most valuable item of the Danjing Sect now is this mountain-building treasure.
Zhao Tieyan said, "It should be so. You must be on guard against others. I am even more afraid that this group of people will have old grudges with the Danjing Sect."
The young man stood on tiptoe, stretched his neck, and looked at the table in the room, "Why don't you have a little drink and make some snacks? Take a step back and say, if business cannot be done with kindness, just make friends."
Shang Zuo had sharp eyes and asked, "The robes worn by this immortal master are not cheap."
The young man in white put his hands on his hips and said, "It's necessary, just make a swollen face to look fat. As the old saying goes, a person depends on his clothes and gold. For those of us who are studying Taoism, when we go out, we will inevitably encounter some people who look down on others, so we still have to do it.
Let’s talk about the outfit and pomp.”
The young man who was a disciple of Shang Zuo and was also a shop clerk, had just learned how to speak from the heart, and said to his master and his uncle, "This guy just stayed outside and squatted at the door chatting with me for a long time. It's hard to tell whether he is a liar or not. Anyway, he has a bad temper."
OK."
The naive young man did not dare to say that his peers would praise him as soon as he met him. He was a Taoist immortal who could only come once in a century. Why did he end up in the market instead of seeking immortality in the mountains?
Such words, regardless of whether they are true or false, are always pleasant to listen to.
The most wealthy and noble ministers in the capital have recently been leading some of their smarter juniors from house to house, and some of them have already recognized several masters.
Shang Zuo also wanted to recruit a few anonymous and cheap disciples, but now the details of the Danjing sect cannot withstand inquiries, and the secrets will be exposed as soon as they are investigated.
Otherwise, those who are in the middle five realms, as long as they come to the door, they will not refuse. They only need to teach a simple breathing technique, or teach a patchwork of Taoist instructions, and then give them a few pills to eat the undead.
With elixirs, you can make a lot of money.
As for this newly acquired disciple, no matter how average his qualifications were, he was still capable of practicing immortal arts. Shang Zuo was already satisfied that he could find him, which was an unexpected surprise.
No matter how patient Zhao Tieyan was, he still had the idea of issuing an eviction order.
Cui Dongshan smiled and said, "Don't rush people away. In fact, the reason why I came to ask for a meeting is that besides buying and selling, there is also a fate to talk about."
.”
Zhao Tieyan asked, "How do you say this?"
Cui Dongshan said, "My husband, along with a woman wearing a mink hat, met you at a temple in the mountain god realm. My husband mentioned this to me and said that you have a good family tradition."
Zhao Tieyan calmed down a little, and realized that the girl in the mink hat had used some of the methods of the Immortal Family, and her ethics were not low, and quite impressive. If she and the man in green shirt who had not spoken to each other from beginning to end were really interested in her own magic weapon.
, in the wilderness, it is not difficult for them to rob openly, there is no need to make such twists and turns. The reason is simple, they can rob by force, why bother to deceive?
Zhao Tieyan threw the greeting card back to the young man in white and said, "Please tell me what you want."
Cui Dongshan smiled and said, "The temple has a lower courtyard, and the immortal mansion has an upper sect. Is this the truth? Logically speaking, you abandoned sons of the old Danjing sect, even if you are wronged, still have to bear the humiliation and continue to guard the empty ancestral property.
, when they return later, they will obediently offer it with both hands."
"It's just that the fourth eldest Yasheng in the Haoran Confucian Temple has never heard of the king, the minister, the minister, the father, the son, the son? The Yasheng did not teach scholars to be loyal, foolish and filial. If the king is not a king, the ministers can not be ministers. This is
Righteous principles are in order."
"You need to know that the most fearful thing about spiritual practice is that you are on the wrong path, worshiping mountains indiscriminately, and recognizing thieves as your father. People who practice Taoism have seven emotions and six desires, and they are not sincere and upright. They are like a worm on a lion. They should sort out the rules of the mountain and revive their family tradition.
.When the big waves wash away the sand, and when all the sand in the wash basin is exhausted, you will see real gold. I think you are very good. If the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will not be crooked. This is great."
"Practice to seek immortality, practice to the Tao, there is still a little difference. The body is full of copper stench, how can it be that you are not a Taoist, not just a pure and pure literal immortal."
Shang Zuo said in his heart, "Senior Brother Zhao, I can't speak to him."
Is that guy going crazy with alcohol and talking nonsense?
It doesn’t seem like it. If you chew it carefully, it makes sense?
Zhao Tieyan said, "Maybe I can have a chat with the head brother."
Cui Dongshan blinked and looked at the shop assistant, "Young man, I fell in love with you at first sight, and I want to help you write a wonderful story about "one man achieves enlightenment, a chicken and a dog ascend to heaven".
The young man was very excited and couldn't believe it. He timidly asked, "Can I really practice Taoism and become an immortal?"
Cui Dongshan said with a playful smile, "You belong to the protagonist in the second half of the story of 'One Man Achieves the Way, Chickens and Dogs Ascend to Heaven'."
The young man didn't hear what was said and looked confused, "What?"
Cui Dongshan patted the young man on the shoulder, "You are so smart, no wonder we fell in love."
Zhao Tieyan thought for a moment and asked, "Can you make it simpler?"
Cui Dongshan shouted loudly, "Since we are all enlightened people who understand the truth, I will make it clear that I am here today to form an alliance with a brand-new Danjing sect!"
Zhao Tieyan became increasingly confused and curiously asked the young man in white, "May I ask the name of your sect?"
The boy in white grinned and said, "As I said, it's a new sect called Qingping Sword Sect!"
Shang Zuo sighed and said from his heart, "Brother, I really can't stand this kid!"
Zhao Tieyan smiled and said, "How dare I ask this immortal master if his surname is Cui and Dongshan?"
The boy in white nodded vigorously, "Yes, I am Cui Dongshan."
Zhao Tieyan took a deep breath and said, "Get out!"
Cui Dongshan turned around and said, "Fellow Qingmi Daoist, have you seen that you've already guessed my identity? I'm smarter than you."
Feng Xuetao smiled and nodded, "It seems so."
Qingmi?
That new enshrinement of Jade Guizong, the Ascension Realm monk of Aaizhou? Indeed, I heard that this old god is in the capital now.
Shang Zuo shouted angrily, "Get out of here!"
Cui Dongshan gave a thumbs up, "You are a man, I won't argue with you. When will we start drinking?"
Cui Dongshan turned around and asked, "Fellow Qingmi, it seems that the talks have broken down. What should I say?"
Feng Xuetao smiled and said, "I don't care. You can stay and drink, or you can get out."
Cui Dongshan clasped his fists and shook them a few times, "See you later. If you really encounter something and are desperate, you can go to the Tongyin ferry in Yulindu to find someone. Just say that you have met Xie Cixi, or go directly to him.
This is Feng Xuetao next to me."
Zhao Tieyan smiled and said, "Then my junior brother and I won't see the guests off."
Shang Zuo suddenly said, "No matter who you are or what your intentions are, I want to explain one thing to you. Our Danjing Sect also has many Taoist practitioners with pure Taoist hearts."
Perhaps the worrying thought is like a person who is not good at drinking and drinks a bowl of strong wine.
Cui Dongshan nodded, "Absolutely, otherwise none of you would be able to let me come here and say so much. I'm drinking in vain. I'm thirsty, so we really can't drink together?"
Feng Xuetao couldn't stand listening anymore and turned around to leave.
Cui Dongshan imitated the characters on the stage, raised his feet, held a whip and rode like a horse, and shouted, "Fellow Taoist, move slowly."
After leaving the shop, Cui Dongshan put his hands in his sleeves and said earnestly, "Friend Qingmi Taoist, I travel all over the world and travel thousands of miles. We can't just walk around and take a look at the people, events and scenes. It is said that the human body is a small world, with mountains and rivers and wild cultivation."
, being alone and without worries, do you really not underestimate yourself?"
"Whether you can meet an immortal, whether you are distracted, whether you have seen the clouds and smoke, or whether you are the mainstay in the middle, where is the heart, where is the heart, leaving people speechless on the beach. The heart is jumping and the horse is galloping. We, mountain climbers and monks, face the wall
Okay, how do you handle yourself?"
"I know that your Taoist heart is strong enough not to listen to these words, but as a friend who chops off chicken heads and burns yellow paper, I still want to talk to you."
"Brother Feng, are you touched? Suddenly you think I'm a weird person?"
Feng Xuetao said with a straight face, "Get lost."
Cui Dongshan really left alone, "Okay, I have the order! I have a little donkey, but I never ride it, da da da."

In that long time, which seemed to be a foreign land to everyone, Lu Chen asked Zheng Juzhong, "Why do you have to do this?"
Zheng Juzhong said calmly, "Master Lu, do you think I need to threaten anyone with words?"
Lu Chen pretended to be stupid, "Ah? What did Mr. Zheng say?"
Zheng Juzhong turned a deaf ear.
I want to exchange my son with Qingming Tianxia.
As for whether you believe it or not, that is your business, Bai Yujing.
Lu Chen suddenly widened his eyes and pointed at his face, "Mr. Zheng, look at Pindao's eyes and face. Are you sincere or not? Do you believe it or not?"
Lu Chen beat his chest and said, "It's no exaggeration, I am more trusting than you!"
Zheng Juzhong just remained silent.
For a certain chess game that has been agreed upon, the chessboard becomes the entire Qing Ming world.
Both sides of the game have their own initiative.
Zheng Juzhong was the first to reach the Fourteenth Realm.
The first mover of the Great Master to teach Kou Ming was a white jade capital.
Lu Chen looked gloomy, "Isn't it good to study on your own?"
"Why take the initiative to join the game and act like a shit stirrer? Alas, you can't say that. Qingming's world is not a cesspit, and Mr. Zheng is not a shit stirrer."
Lu Chen murmured and repeated, "Zheng Juzhong and Qingming Tianxia are naturally not like this."
Zheng Juzhong finally said, "I remember that in ancient times, for travelers and monks, the place where a person was born was called the country of his hometown. The country where he lived and served was called the country of home, and the place of ancestral home was called the motherland.
.”
Lu Chen asked, "Aren't you partial, who are you helping? Or did you reach some kind of secret agreement with someone earlier, and you had to do it as a last resort?"
Zheng Juzhong shook his head, "No."
Lu Chen was furious for the first time. He pointed at Zheng Juzhong's nose and cursed, "You bastard who bullies others just because you are smart, tell me, what are you trying to do? Can you, Zheng Juzhong, be responsible for the chaos in the world?"
Zheng Juzhong smiled and said, "I am self-cultivation. If three fourteenth realms cannot defeat Yu Dou, then what about three false fifteenth realms?"
Lu Chen continued to curse, "What kind of arithmetic? Who taught you this? Three three equals nine or three three equals one?!"
Zheng Juzhong waved his sleeves and said, "Lu Chen, just keep scolding me, don't spit on me."
Lu Chen sat slumped on the ground, feeling extremely aggrieved and sniffing, "Isn't Xiaodao getting impatient? He can't help himself."
Zheng Juzhong said slowly, "In my opinion, Lu Chen is the only sober person in the whole wine tank."
Lu Chen, however, remembered a sentence for no reason and muttered to himself, "I've never been drunk before, so I hate drinking."
Zheng Juzhong smiled and said, "How about we meet tomorrow? Since we have nothing to do today, why don't we have a drink?"
Year after year, wild flowers bloom all over the world.
