Chapter five hundred and fifty second not only say goodbye to others
After noticing Chen Pingan walking towards him, Zhang Shanfeng stood up, put away his oil-paper umbrella, walked towards Chen Pingan, then backed away, and asked worriedly: "Is everything okay?"
Chen Pingan shook his head and said, "It's okay if something happens."
Zhang Shanfeng said angrily: "Say something I can understand!"
Chen Pingan smiled and said: "That's okay."
Zhang Shanfeng asked again: "Seriously?"
Chen Ping'an nodded and said: "It's more real than fairy money."
Zhang Shanfeng felt a headache when he thought of this, "This Shuilong Sect is not kind. Just to enter the Dragon Palace Cave, they charge a small sum of money."
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "Now I owe more than two thousand Grain Rain coins."
Zhang Shanfeng counted with his fingers. As soon as Chen Pingan said stop, Zhang Shanfeng blurted out: "More than two million snow coins?!"
Chen Pingan reached out and wiped his face.
When making money, I like to convert a grain rain coin into snow coins. When I owe money on credit, I really don't like it at all.
Zhang Shanfeng suddenly said: "Chen Pingan, there are some things that friends can't help with, so I have to figure it out bit by bit on my own."
It was his first time to travel down the mountain to slay demons. This Heavenly Master whose surname was not Longhu Mountain was so miserable that he almost couldn't make it through it. Then he became cruel and went directly to Aquarius Island, where he met Chen Ping'an and Xu Yuanxia.
Slowly opening up my heart, I also realized a set of clumsy boxing techniques that were not worthy of being on the stage.
Chen Ping'an snorted lightly.
Asking the deepest part of your heart is the most painful.
Of course, Chen Pingan's current state of mind was not as relaxed as his words and face.
Zhang Shanfeng took out a porcelain bottle from the package and said, "This bottle of water elixir was given to me by a friend of my master's from China. My master said that you gave me the Celestial Master's Seal and Zhenwu Sword, so I have to repay the gift."
Chen Ping'an was stunned for a moment, but he didn't show any politeness. He took the porcelain bottle, his palms were cold, and there were some strange movements in the entire water palace. He couldn't help but asked curiously: "A gift from the water god of Mirage in Middle Earth?
"
Lord Cangjun Lake also gave water elixirs. Earlier, he also saw Liu Chongrun's secret collection of water palace elixirs, but compared to the bottle of Mirage Water Elixir in his hand, it was different.
The Immortal Book of the Hanging Mountain mentioned Mirage Ze, which is a large marsh in the Divine Continent of Middle-earth. Could it be the water elixir refined by the Master of Mirage Ze Lake based on his destiny water luck?
Zhang Shanfeng nodded and said: "It's the Mirage Water Pill, but the master said that the rank is not too high. The master said that he has an average relationship with all the water gods in the world, so he can't get the best water pill."
Chen Ping'an was a little dumbfounded. The so-called "best" by Master Huolong means really the best in the entire world. The so-called "not too high" must also be very high.
Mirage is extremely famous in the Middle-earth Divine Continent. It has vast waters and is home to a god of the upper five realms. The Lake Lord Water Mansion is the famous Mianchi Palace. According to legend, the overwhelming thing is the largest Dragon King's Basket in the world. Mirage Historic Site
There are many legends. It is said that an unknown Taoist once went boating in the Mirage Lake on a bright moonlit night. A dragon escaped into the Mirage River to escape the catastrophe. The electric chain and thunder cord blocked the sky and the sun, and the dragon escaped into the sleeves of the Taoist priest.
, the Taoist priest casually repelled the heavenly catastrophe and helped the dragon escape from the disaster, and there was a beautiful poem in later generations: "The thunder rope has no way to escape, and it escapes into the master's clothes."
Chen Ping'an held the heavy bottle of water elixir, turned his head to look at it, and said softly: "Zhang Shanfeng, you have a good master."
Zhang Shanshan was happy, "I knew it a long time ago."
Chen Pingan smiled and said: "Old Master has a good disciple."
Zhang Shanfeng shook his head, "There are many disciples like me in Paidi Peak."
Chen Ping'an said: "I don't see much."
Zhang Shanfeng smiled brightly and said, "Just tell the truth."
Chen Pingan put his arms around the young Taoist priest's shoulders. Zhang Shanfeng lowered his head and bent over, about to put his arms around Chen Pingan's neck.
Fighting and fussing.
Chen Pingan took Zhang Shanfeng into the mansion and into the house.
Zhang Shanfeng caught a glimpse of the green bamboo hiking stick and the sword fairy on the wall, and said with a smile: "It's really the same."
Chen Pingan moved a chair to him and the two sat across from each other.
Zhang Shanfeng began to talk about what he and his master had experienced when they walked through the Middle Earth Divine Continent and Nan Po Suo Continent, and finally talked about Liu Xianyang, who was studying under the Chunru Chen family.
After Chen Pingan quietly listened to Zhang Shanfeng's story, he felt peaceful and the ripples gradually subsided.
Zhang Shanfeng began to talk about his return home again, and suddenly found that the guy opposite fell asleep while listening.
Zhang Shanfeng felt helpless. He stood up quietly and quietly left the house. After gently closing the door, he squatted under the eaves in a daze.
The world is very strange. Some people only focus on what others have and don’t think about why. Master said this is called blindness, and also said that the world is even weirder. If you think like this, it may not be all bad things.
Zhang Shanfeng has always felt that he is out of tune with this world and has little to do with his level of realm.
As long as he stays on the mountain of Paidi Peak and practices slowly, or travels with Chen Pingan and Xu Yuanxia, or is alone, facing the silent world and mountains and rivers, staying away from the excitement, he will not make mistakes and harm others.
It won't hurt him, so Zhang Shanfeng will feel a little better.
Zhang Shanfeng asked Master if his own inquiring mind had caused a big problem.
But the master said there was no problem. He also said that the Confucians were doing addition, self-cultivation, ordering the family, running the country, and bringing peace to the world. He took everything he could pick up and entered the Chinese Confucian Temple. But the Taoist was doing subtraction.
You can draw a clear line and clear the relationship with anything, and you will have no worries about forgetting both things and me. Finally, you will reach the pure place. Buddhism has changed from the Hinayana self-transfer to the Mahayana ferry, and gradually enlightened to sudden enlightenment, and the flags moved the heart.
The three teachings of precepts, concentration, and wisdom are actually all in a sequence of increasing and decreasing. The three teachings may seem to have very different roots, and the directions of the roads vary greatly, but the practice is actually just like people walking, and they are still similar.
Zhang Shanfeng squatted on the steps and turned to look at the closed door.
Master is right, everyone is a small world. When the door is closed, outsiders cannot see the real scene behind the door.
At this moment, Chen Ping'an inside the room called Zhang Shanfeng softly.
Zhang Shanfeng said quickly: "Yes, just outside."
Chen Ping'an then said with a slightly tired tone: "Then I'll sleep a little longer. I haven't felt tired before."
Zhang Shanfeng said: "Have a good rest."
Zhang Shanfeng held his hands in his sleeves and squatted on the spot, gently rocking back and forth with a smile on his face.
————
There are some children at the foot of the mountain who are extremely precocious. It is actually not surprising whether they eventually become Taoist embryos on the mountain.
The really strange thing is that there is room for two extremes of knowledge. The minds are constantly fighting without killing anyone. In the eyes of Master Huolong, this is the real training and cultivation.
It is difficult to protect the innate pure mind and maintain it without retreating. It is difficult to find the acquired sincerity. The true one is extremely sincere. It is as bright as the sun and as bright as the moon.
My disciple Zhang Shanfeng and his friend Chen Pingan have two kinds of minds, so they need to teach two kinds of methods.
Master Huolong actually complained a little about Mr. Wen Sheng and Qi Jingchun. Why didn't they be more attentive and let Chen Ping'an wander so far by himself since they recognized their disciples and junior brothers respectively? Are they really not afraid of dying at the drop of a hat? Are you not afraid of going astray, or simply giving up and becoming a monk, or really thinking about it and turning to Taoism? This is actually something that even Huolong can't understand. Why didn't Mr. Wen Sheng choose to transfer Chen Pingan? Taking it with him and teaching him by words and deeds, he also wondered why Qi Jingchun didn't do it even though he had to die in the first place. In fact, with Qi Jingchun's knowledge and ability, he could obviously do more.
It’s true that each one has a bigger heart than the other.
Master Huolong felt that he was already generous, but he still seemed incomparable to these two scholars.
Master Huolong suddenly let out a sigh and looked around, as if he encountered something puzzling again. However, after thinking about it for a moment, Master Huolong didn't bother to worry about it.
The bottom of the lake between the two islands of Baijia and Cangbeard.
A carriage was hovering in the water, with Shuizheng Li Yuan and Shen Lin, the empress of Nanxun Water Palace, standing side by side.
Shen Lin was surprised and said: "This person actually knows Huolong Zhenren?"
Li Yuan sneered and said, "I don't know that old man too."
Shen Lin smiled, of course he knew him, and he was suppressed by Master Huolong using the water method to keep him underwater for more than a month.
Although everyone in Luzhou, Beiju, firmly believes that the old master of Paidi Peak is the most proficient monk in the world, there is no one. However, few people know that Master Huolong is actually familiar with the water method.
Shen Lin was thinking a lot.
At this moment, Li Yuan's skin went numb.
It turned out that the old man on the shore was smiling and waving towards the carriage.
Just as Li Yuang was about to scatter golden light, he gave up the idea because the real Huolong had already appeared on the side of the carriage, standing on the back of a snow-white horse.
Shen Lin immediately bowed his head and said respectfully: "Shen Lin, the old man of Nanxun Water Palace, pays homage to Master Huolong!"
Master Huolong was quite polite to the Water Goddess, and said with a smile: "Everything is natural, just follow the fate, and things will fall into place."
The Water Goddess, whose face was like a crushed celadon surface, was shaken and said in a trembling voice: "Thank you, Master, for your teachings."
Master Huolong smiled and said nothing, glanced at Li Yuan, "Hey, isn't this Mr. Shuizheng Li from our Jidu Temple? I can see Mr. Shuizheng wherever I go. It's true that even if fate comes, it can't be stopped. .”
Li Yuan pretended to be deaf and dumb with a straight face.
Why, Taoism is so great, you can't hit someone just because you don't like me, right?
Master Huolong smiled and said: "Li Shuizheng, you are idle anyway, chatting with a poor man?"
Li Yuan looked confused and said, "I'm busy, very busy."
Master Huolong shook his sleeves, "Oh?"
Li Yuan immediately said: "You can stop being busy now."
An old Taoist and a young man left their chariot and drove across the water.
Shen Lin used his magical power to drive the carriage back to the summer palace.
As soon as Shen Lin left, Li Yuan immediately said with a flattering smile: "Brother Huolong, how come you come to Shuilong Cave as a guest and don't even say hello? Are you looking down on this little brother who is so humble?"
Master Huolong hummed.
Yes, Pindao just looks down on you, Li Shuizheng.
Li Yuan felt that there was no way to chat now.
The majestic water is upright, but now I am in the water, but I feel like I am in a prison, and I feel uncomfortable all over.
After a long silence, the two of them suddenly swam far away under the water, their figures as ethereal and light as clouds.
Master Huolong finally spoke, "Since Shuilong Sect established its sect, Li Yuan has been treated very well by you, right? Then why are you so pretentious that the seat of the Patriarch Hall must be placed in the first place? Always remind the Shuilong Sect's previous sect masters and ancestors. Is the church your territory? They are just tenants? Are you out of your mind? You really think of yourself as the leader of the Jianghu community, how dare you be so arrogant and domineering?"
Li Yuan said sickly: "If you want to incriminate yourself, there is no need to hesitate. I'll accept whatever you say, my dear fellow."
Master Huolong sneered: "A huge love for incense can't withstand your squandering. The weather in Shuilongdong is smooth and generally worry-free. What's none of your business? It's not Shen Lin who is working hard. Back then, that sword immortal stole Why are you standing by and watching the treasure of water transportation in the cave? He can deceive the busy Shen Lin and Nanxun Shuidian, and he can deceive you who just hang around all day long?"
Li Yuan curled his lips, "Shuilong Sect didn't say anything."
Of course, Master Huolong knows that there are more twists and turns here. It is not a simple matter of right and wrong, good and evil, but everything in the world can eventually have a rough result. And the result is often the cause of the next period of cause and effect. Just like the ripples on the lake, you can see It's difficult to swim across the vast water, but every ripple rises and falls. As a Taoist, if you can't see it clearly, how can you cultivate the Tao?
The old master said in a deep voice: "If it weren't for Pindao having an old relationship with that person, do you think Pindao would be willing to talk nonsense with you?"
Li Yuan sighed and stopped pretending to be stupid and crazy. He looked desolate and said helplessly: "I have watched the rise and fall of Shuilong Sect and the increase and decrease of incense for many years. I have given up many hopes. Now I feel that it is meaningless. This generation of sect masters , Sun Jie is a good person, but what can I do? It’s not like I haven’t thought about letting Shuilong Sect practice Jidu Temple, but two people I once valued failed to become the sect leader, and one of them was still regarded as a sect leader. The Water Dragon Sect and I collaborated to get him killed. The Water Dragon Sect relied on others and was disgusted by me year after year. They asked for it themselves."
Master Huolong seemed a little sad for his misfortune and was angry at him for not fighting, "You are a stubborn thing!"
On the mountain, adding the finishing touch, nodding to the stubborn stone, playing the piano to the cow, talking to the chicken and the duck, which statement is not knowledge.
Only the difference between gods and immortals is the last thing we can talk about together.
Master Huolong said: "Just try to be a good person."
Li Yuan became angry and said: "Master Huolong, don't bully me just because you are a good person!"
Master Huolong slapped the Shui Zheng boy's head and asked with a smile: "Why did you bully you?"
Li Yuan was about to cry but had no tears. He frowned and said, "Then I will listen to the old man and be a good person."
Master Huolong slapped Li Yuan lightly, causing Li Yuan to fall directly into the big pit at the bottom of the lake. He laughed and cursed: "Remember the good things if you beat them."
Li Yuan lay at the bottom of the pit and pretended to be dead.
The figure of the real fire dragon fell into the pit and said seriously: "Don't really think of yourself as that high-altitude god."
Li Yuan opened his eyes, "Wouldn't it be even worse if we can't rely on both ends?"
Master Huolong shook his head, "You are self-righteous and it is indeed difficult to teach."
Li Yuan put his hands under the back of his head and said with a dull expression: "I am just a frog in the well who raises his head and cannot see the light of day."
Master Huolong left quietly at some point.
Li Yuan lamented, and I received another slap in the face.
————
Master Huolong slowly walked into Fushui Island Mansion.
Chen Pingan had woken up and was watching Zhang Shanfeng boxing in the yard.
Seeing the old master, Chen Ping'an was about to salute, when the fire dragon master waved his hand, "You don't have to be tired, just be willing. I still have some eyesight. Go inside and take a look at your third natal object.
, If there are no mistakes, then refine it as soon as possible, go up the mountain to practice, think too much, no problem, but it does not mean that you have to be slow in doing things. Furthermore, walking slowly does not mean that it is really slow step by step, Chen Ping'an,
You have to carefully understand the difference between the two."
Chen Pingan silently kept it in mind and kept it in his heart.
Zhang Shanfeng stopped his boxing and walked into the house with his master and Chen Pingan.
Chen Ping'an carefully took out the fragments of wooden statues enshrined in the Taoist temple on the top of the mountain from among the objects nearby.
Master Huolong flicked his sleeves, and a layer of Qi ripples appeared in the room like a green tabletop, as smooth and bright as a mirror.
Chen Ping'an took out the thirty-six green bricks paved on the floor of the Taoist temple.
One hundred and twenty-two green glazed tiles.
There was also a large clump of bamboo branches and a large number of bamboo leaves plundered from the green bamboo tree.
Master Huolong asked: "I have traveled through many caves and blessed places, and accumulated little by little possessions?"
Chen Pingan shook his head and said: "They were all found in the same place."
After all, I don’t have the nerve to say that I “picked it up.”
The fire dragon master's eyes were strange, "Are you a bandit?"
Chen Pingan was just about to take out the remaining treasures on the mountain, when he had no choice but to stop.
I bought a lady's round fan and a pair of Dragon King baskets from "Taoist Sun". I also bought an ancient mirror as a gift from Master Huang, as well as the Taoist Xinzhai tablet, the palindrome jade bracelet and a tree gall pot.
The original plan was to let the old man take a look at it and estimate the price.
Master Huolong glanced at a pile of broken wood again, and was not in a hurry to reveal the secret. He just pointed at the blue bricks and said, "The toughness is not inferior to that of the Dragon Slaying Platform, which is the dream of sword cultivators in the world. Because the true meaning of Taoism has been infiltrated for many years, the meaning contained in it is
The essence of water transportation is just a superficial appearance. If you give up the green bricks and take water transportation, then ignore it, it will be a waste of nature."
Chen Ping'an glanced at Zhang Shanfeng beside him.
Master Huolong smiled and said: "Whatever you give as a gift, keep it for yourself! The number of thirty-six heavens is the proof of your destiny. If you miss one piece, it won't matter."
The old master pointed at a key acupuncture point of Chen Ping'an, "The human body is small and the world is small. The Gang is the Gang. Taking the center of the four directions is my heart. The Gang in the sky is the essence of yin and yang, and it is the true earth. One is empty and the other is real.
These are all the big sayings of our Taoist sect. Didn’t you refine the five-color soil into the native substance of the five elements? It just so happened that you refined the thirty-six blue bricks well. As the roots of the mountain in your heart, it can also nourish the monk’s mind.
, kill two birds with one stone, but refining this thing requires consuming a lot of spiritual energy, and shaping the mountain roots is not simple. I will teach you a secret secret later, because dragon veins also divide mountains and rivers, and your method of refining things is not suitable for building mountains."
Master Huolong picked up a piece of glazed tile and said with a smile: "Do you know how much immortal money this piece of glazed tile is worth if sold to the right person?"
Chen Ping'an asked: "Does it have to be sold to the Liuli Pavilion of Baidi City in the Middle Earth Divine Continent?"
Master Huolong nodded, chatting with smart people saves worry and effort, "If it were an ordinary immortal monk, a piece of glazed tile would cost at most one Grain Rain coin. Those who don't know the goods would not be willing to accept a few Xiaoshu coins, because it costs so much."
If you accumulate too much, it will have miraculous effects; if you accumulate less, it will be just a fancy gimmick and will not serve the purpose."
Chen Ping'an was lucky that he didn't sell his property at a low price. Otherwise, if he knew the truth afterwards, why would his mind be in chaos again?
Master Huolong twisted a bamboo branch and said with a smile: "He is the descendant of one of the ten ancestral bamboos of Qingshan God in Zhuhai Cave. He can be called his legitimate daughter. The texture of bamboo is like stone, so it can be made into tools. Its virtue is said to be strong in nature.
.The bamboo body is upright, the bamboo joints are forging ahead, being open-minded, writing and passing on the world, etc., are all virtues. What kind of virtue do you think the tree you met has? That you accidentally and inevitably met it? "
Chen Pingan shook his head, "I can't guess."
Master Huolong smiled and said, "That's right."
This is actually Chen Ping's many determinations after questioning and denying them.
If the Taoist cultivator's quest for truth is to seek death, then why do so many people from all schools of thought other than Taoism practice Taoism?
It doesn’t really matter which tree or type of bamboo you encounter.
Chen Ping'an actually didn't know what was wrong.
On the side, Zhang Shanfeng felt that Master was right, so that’s right.
Otherwise, it would not be good if Master always embarrasses Chen Ping'an like this.
Master Huolong suddenly said: "Fengfeng, go to the courtyard and punch you."
Zhang Shanfeng said "oh" and went out without asking why.
Master Huolong stretched out his hand and grabbed it. The fragments of the wooden statue on the table flew past or were suspended in the air. They bumped lightly against each other and swayed, and finally he pieced together a statue of a middle-aged Taoist god.
Like the reshaping of the golden body of a mountain and water god.
Looking at this "middle-aged Taoist", Master Huolong sighed softly.
Then Huolong Zhenren put away his thoughts of remembrance, looked solemn, and said in a deep voice: "Chen Ping'an, where did this statue come from?"
Chen Ping'an briefly recounted the experience of visiting the mountains to hunt for treasure.
Many of Taoist Sun's deeds in the Xianfu ruins have been omitted.
It's just that Chen Ping'an still underestimated Huolong Zhenren's knowledge and teachings.
Master Huolong stared at the wooden statue of the god and said slowly: "This man was killed by Tao Lao Er wearing robes and carrying an immortal sword. Among his direct disciples, there was a man named Song Maolu, who was better than the blue ones. It was Qing Ming.
A genius who has not appeared in the world for thousands of years, with the power of one person, he has gathered nearly 60% of the Taoist forces outside Bai Yujing. Imagine what it would be like if someone in our vast world could compete with half of the Confucians.
?”
Chen Ping'an couldn't imagine this.
Master Huolong continued to reveal the secrets of other worlds. At his level, especially with meritorious deeds, he casually called the names of saints and sages, and it was no longer a taboo. He continued: "As for this statue, it is not ordinary that it comes from the same place.
The ordinary statues of gods enshrined everywhere in Taoist temples. It is the most important deity of this Taoist next to the original statue of the sect. You can understand it as the out-of-body Yin God of Taoists. This tree is Xuandu
It is made by refining the ancestral peach trees planted in the temple."
Master Huolong smiled and said: "And the master of Xuandu Temple, Mu Xiang's senior brother, has always been among the ten people in the entire Qingming world, and is hailed as the unbeatable fifth person there.
It can be said that the lineage of Dao Sect Sword Immortals is supported by this temple master."
Having said this, Master Huolong asked: "Are you sure there are no legacy harms?"
Chen Pingan nodded and said: "OK!"
Master Huolong smiled and said, "Good guy, you've made a lot of money."
If you are an ordinary junior who dares to say such big words, Master Huolong really needs to advise you to think twice before doing so.
Since it’s Chen Ping’an, there’s no need for it.
What's more, since Taoist Guansun of Daxuandu, who ascended and returned to the Qingming world, is willing to keep this thing, it is a kind of recognition of Chen Ping'an.
Master Huolong paused for a moment and glanced at Chen Pingan. Until this moment, he seemed to have figured out one thing and vaguely guessed Qi Jingchun's good intentions, but he didn't know if he was right or not.
Master Huolong asked directly: "Are you prepared for the heavenly materials and earthly treasures that are used to refine the five elements of earth's natal objects?"
Chen Pingan nodded and said: "Yes."
Master Huolong nodded and said: "That's enough, there's no need to add any more superfluous things."
Chen Pingan was relieved. After all, he only had one chance. Cui Dongshan had prepared three portions of five-color soil. He originally planned to pursue a safe, favorable time, place and people before refining. This was the time when Chen Pingan was still hesitant in the Dragon Palace Cave.
Do we need to refine the source of this thing?
Master Huolong looked at this young man who liked to think over and over again and smiled.
If Shanze Yexiu, no matter what, if he gets it, I will refine it quickly first.
If it is an Immortal Master with an orderly inheritance of genealogy, the elders of the master's sect have long been there to help make suggestions, and they may be more attentive than the disciples themselves.
Master Huolong reminded: "Before refining, calm down first."
Master Huolong joked: "Do you have any more treasures? Let's take a look at them all?"
Chen Ping'an was not polite and took out one by one from the items nearby.
Finally, even that page of scripture, a Buddhist scripture, was taken out.
Master Huolong felt at first that he had some clarity after seeing that page of scripture.
Master Huolong helped appraise the treasures on the mountain one by one. During this period, he picked up the exquisite round fan alone, shook it lightly, like shaking off dust, and handed it to Chen Pingan with a smile, "Take another look."
Chen Pingan took the round fan, and there was still a picture of a lady holding a fan. But after looking at it carefully, he found that on the small round fan in the lady's hand, there was another picture of a lady holding a fan. There was another picture on the picture. After a moment, Chen Pingan
, quickly close your eyes, reach out and make a fist, and gently place it between your eyebrows.
Master Huolong smiled and said: "Put it away and treasure it well."
Master Huolong put the pair of bamboo dragon king baskets into his sleeves, "It's too dilapidated. I'll help you repair it. I'm not boasting. This is no longer a matter of a few immortal coins. Only the blending of water and fire, careful refinement
Only by transforming can we repair the old as before without damaging the roots. You'd better not sell this pair of small baskets. If there is a flood on the mountain top in the future, you can use it as a dragon. You have to understand that the Dragon King basket is not only used to suppress victory.
, are also the small dragon palaces under the sky. The monks use them as weapons, and the dragons are entrenched, which is the natural water mansion."
Thank you Chen Pingan.
After Chen Pingan put away all his belongings, Master Huolong hesitated to speak.
Master Huolong smiled and said, "It's probably not my family's fault. I understand. It's the strange and poor customs of Padi Peak?"
Chen Ping'an bit the bullet and said: "Old Master, I dare to say that I can teach Zhang Shanfeng some profound Taoism."
The fire dragon master laughed heartily.
If we talk about the state of a Taoist, it is the most real fairy money in the world.
However, Huolong Zhenren's body is on the ground, and it is precisely because of this that no disciple is allowed to talk about the level of his realm.
The reason is not obvious to outsiders.
But the young people in front of me are not outsiders.
So Master Huolong smiled and asked: "Isn't it strange why Pindao deliberately hides the mountain?"
Chen Pingan nodded.
Master Huolong turned around and walked to the sword immortal hanging on the wall, and said with a smile: "When a poor Taoist recruits disciples, they only look at their character, not their qualifications. Who said that a mountain has to fight for those so-called geniuses for the sake of its heritage?
There are many conscientious people from the lower five realms on the mountain, but a bastard from the upper five realms accidentally appears on the mountain. Which one is better between the two?"
Master Huolong put away his eyes. It was a good sword, but he was actually fighting again.
As expected of Chen Pingan.
Master Huolong turned around and said with a smile: "It's not that I, a poor Taoist, can say these things because I have reached such a state. It's that I have always acted according to this principle, firmly followed the Tao, and cultivated my strength and mind, so that I have reached such a state today. It is understandable.
Bar?"
Chen Pingan replied: "Of course."
Master Huolong said: "The poor Taoist is like planting a big tree on Paidi Peak, with many branches growing out, with flowers and fruits in different situations, some high and some low, some first and then last.
Some people are limited by their qualifications, and their branches and leaves fall to the ground. For example, many senior brothers who practiced mountain climbing before Zhang Shanfeng passed away without being able to break through the bottlenecks. Some disciples are indeed born more suitable for practicing Taoism, and the years will last longer, and they will reach the realm of Taoism.
There are also higher mountains, such as Taixia, Taoshan, Zhixuan and Baiyun. From Pindao's point of view, it's not just because the disciples are at a high level. The level of Taoism is not determined by the fist, but only by the human heart.
It’s just that when Taoism is advanced, it is indeed easier to reason. The same principle will seem to make more sense. In fact, Paidi Peak has been avoiding the spread of this situation. In the eyes of Pindao, many disciples who are no longer alive,
They are not inferior to the upper five realms of Baiyun Jimai in the slightest, and every word and deed they say remains in Pindao's heart."
Master Huolong said with a smile: "Whether it's a disciple practicing in Paidi Peak or a disciple who leaves Paidi Peak to open a mountain, the poor Taoist will follow their original nature and teach different Taoist methods. Some of them need to be reprimanded by the master to bring them back.
, avoid taking detours and wrong paths. Some of them need the help of the master to push them to walk faster and be more courageous. But generally speaking, it is up to the master to lead him to practice. Zhang Shanfeng is different. There is no need for Pindao, the master, to go there deliberately.
Normally, when a master teaches his disciples, he lets his disciples know. But the most natural way for a poor Taoist to teach the mountain is to let the mountain know it, and no one else knows. Is this considered selfish? It doesn’t count. Zhang Shanfeng
Fellow fellow disciples, don’t you see it in your eyes? You don’t even look at it. This is the peak of lying on the ground for cultivating Taoism and seeking truth.”
Master Huolong smiled and said, "A Taoist cultivator's view of realm, treasures and opportunities is fundamentally different from the way a layman views gold, silver, power and fortune? If a Taoist cultivator wants to be a genuine mountain god, he must put forth his best efforts.
It's a different idea, right? With a strong fist, a long life, and many magic skills, he is a god who is superior to others? There are really a lot of god masters out there."
Chen Ping'an thought carefully about the old man's words.
Today, some of the words and principles of the old master will become rules that Luoposhan can directly use.
Master Huolong said: "When your cultivation level becomes high and your reputation becomes great, you will naturally encounter more and more people pointing fingers at you and wanting to teach you Chen Ping'an how to behave."
The old man smiled and said: "Then you have to remember that today's people talk about the ancients, and the living talk about the dead. It's nothing more than bullying the other party into not speaking up. So first, Chen Ping'an, don't die. And then there are the real evil people in the world,
In fact, it is the existence that likes good people the most. Only fools will always despise good people, complain all day long, and do not do enough good things and are not good enough. These people cannot understand, teach, or change, in their minds
They are all paste and full of hostility. In Pindao's view, they are the most powerful people in the world, and Pindao has no way to deal with them. There are many reasonable people in the world, just to win or lose, and feel happy in their hearts.
, so I like to be either/or and go to that extreme, for fear that if I don’t do this, my truth will not be enough or big enough. This kind of person may seem to be full of truth, but in fact he is the least unreasonable. You have to be careful about these smart people. So.
Only a poor person can sincerely admire Mr. Literary Saint and reason with others. What is right is right and what is good is good. Reasoning is never a fight. You have to beat the other person with words until his nose is bruised and his face is swollen and he lies on the ground begging for mercy. Only you can win. It's you.
In the end, I agree with each other and each has its own benefits."
Although Chen Ping'an never spoke.
But Master Huolong already knew part of the answer to a certain guess.
That's it.
What a good intention that has been laid for thousands of years.
It turns out that we can still protect the road in this way.
It seemed that he had underestimated Qi Jingchun's knowledge before.
As expected, the Literary Sage lineage was so lawless in protecting their children.
So Master Huolong said something profound and profound, "Chen Ping'an, sometimes, what you think you have completely lost is what you have truly grasped, so some of the disappointments you think are the hopes of others."
In the end, the old master patted the young man on the shoulder and said, "Okay, strike while the iron is hot and quickly refine the third natal object! Pindao personally helps people guard the gates and hold down the battle. This kind of treatment is something that ordinary monks would not even dare to think about. Otherwise, a person in the third realm would not dare to think about it.
Qi practitioner, you have the nerve to go out and wander around?"
Chen Ping'an smiled bitterly and said: "The old master just said that we don't treat Taoists based on their level of realm."
Master Huolong smiled and said: "You, Chen Ping'an, are not a monk from Pa Di Peak."
Chen Pingan said helplessly: "It makes sense."
The old man clicked his tongue and said, "You're not very good at flattering others."
Chen Pingan nodded and said: "Juniors are not very good at talking."
Master Huolong smiled knowingly, "Just be a good person with a clear conscience even if your liver is broken, that's fine."
————
With the Fire Dragon Master sitting in charge, it would be difficult for Fushui Island to do anything.
Chen Ping'an is refining the third natal object in seclusion.
Before that, Master Huolong first taught him an ancient refining formula called Refining Three Mountains, and asked Chen Pingan to refine the true meaning of the Taoism of the thirty-six green bricks, consolidate the mountain temple, and become a mountain foundation.
As a result, the boy actually asked if he could only refine the true meaning without refining the blue bricks themselves. Master Huolong didn't ask much about the use of the thirty-six green bricks without the Taoist meaning and water transport. He only said that it was okay.
Character.
Otherwise, if the wood natal object is successfully refined, the weather will be extremely great. The movement in Shuifu is okay, but the mountain temple made of the five colors of the new five mountains in Aquarius Continent will inevitably be implicated in the Qi mechanism.
Fu's great layout was out of balance from the beginning. If he was not careful, Chen Pingan would have to spend a lot of time, material and financial resources to repair it. Master Huolong could not afford to lose face like this.
Master Huo Long is a real man on the mountaintop. He is condescending and sees Chen Ping'an's current state of affairs clearly.
Water Mansion, whether it is the natal water seal, the mural that has not yet been finished but has already taken shape, and the small pond, there is no need to ask for more.
The pride of heaven in Luzhou, Beiju, with such a water palace situation, can't support it with both hands, and the key is to look back and see when Chen Ping'an can turn the pond into a deep well and then into a dragon pond.
As for Chen Ping'an's Benmingshan Temple, the materials are relatively ordinary, but it is no less than the direct descendant of Zongzitou Zushitang, and it is better in the long run. But no matter what, it cannot compare with Shuifu and the wooden house in the future.
However, Chen Ping'an spent a full ten days refining the thirty-six green bricks of Taoist spirit and stripping away the water transport.
If it were his few founding disciples, three days would be enough.
Master Huolong didn't think it was a big deal. On the road, some people can walk faster if they walk early. However, the difficulty of climbing is the stamina. It is inevitable that the walking will get slower and slower. Therefore, only the geniuses who can break through the obstacles in one go in the early stage of mountain climbing are not included in the ranking.
After becoming an Earth Immortal, those who are still unstoppable, even Li Liu, will stay in the Nascent Soul realm for a while. After reaching the upper five realms, they will have to slow down.
But there is a small group of people, a very small number, who walk faster and faster.
The former is a proud man of heaven in a general sense, but the latter has been able to make a proud man of heaven happy for many years, and suddenly one day he discovers that he is also a mediocre person.
Chen Pingan is busy practicing.
Zhang Shanfeng stayed at Fushui Island, practicing his Qi, boxing, and chatting with his master.
One rainy day during this period, Zhang Shanfeng was walking on the shore with an umbrella. He saw a young man peering out of the water and asked him an inexplicable question. The man asked Zhang Shanfeng whether he would cry if he punched him.
He yelled and went back to complain to the master.
Zhang Shanfeng squatted by the water and asked if the punch was heavy.
The young man was also full and bored, so he carefully discussed with the young Taoist priest the importance of the punch.
After the chat, Shuizheng and Li Yuan felt that there was something interesting.
As a result, the young Taoist priest said directly, "Xiao Dao thinks that we should ask the master first before deciding whether to take this punch or not."
Li Yuan felt like he had been struck by a bolt from the blue. During these days, he had been secretly observing this person, wondering how this little Taoist priest looked silly. Why was he not honest at all?
Zhang Shanfeng couldn't help but laugh and said: "I'm joking with you. I've been to and from Fushui Island many times, and it's rare to chat with people."
Li Yuan, with only his head exposed, jumped out of the water, sat cross-legged, put his hands on his knees, and asked: "Little Taoist priest, why do you still have such a bad state even though you have such a master?"
Zhang Shanfeng smiled and said: "Master cannot practice on behalf of his disciple."
In fact, he always felt that the young man in front of him had something wrong with his brain.
Li Yuan shook his head, feeling a little pity for the little idiot lying on the ground, and said: "Little Taoist priest, you are really blessed in the blessings, and your qualifications are definitely not that good. If it were anyone else, you would have flown to Jindan long ago.
I'm going to the Nascent Soul Realm. Then I'll cry a little more and ask my master for some valuable treasures. Every time I go down the mountain to travel, don't I just walk sideways every day and everyone calls me uncle?"
Zhang Shanfeng smiled and said: "It's not like you were born in Paidi Peak and just brag about yourself here. With your temper, you can't become a Taoist priest in Paidi Peak. But each has his own destiny, which doesn't mean that you can't be a Taoist priest in Paidi Peak."
Difeng Taoist, what a bad thing, I think you should be a certain water god in the Dragon Palace Cave, right? I envy you, you are born with the magical power of water-bending. You can't do it in the small way. You follow the master to practice the immortal magic in the mountains.
A slower learner than one.”
Li Yuan squinted and sneered, "But I see that you, a little Taoist priest, don't seem to be in a hurry at all?"
Zhang Shanfeng rolled his eyes and said, "If hurrying works, do you think I'm in a hurry? I know it won't work, so why worry?"
Li Yuan sighed and said, "It must be very frustrating for me to accept such a vulgar disciple like you."
Zhang Shanfeng laughed.
Li Yuan became more and more convinced that this guy was really a little fool.
So the Fire Dragon Master should be an old fool?
When he thought of this, Li Yuan felt a little relieved and laughed together with the young Taoist priest.
Then Li Yuan soon stopped laughing.
Master Huolong stood beside Zhang Shanfeng, also smiling.
Li Yuan then stood up and said: "Congratulations to the old master for recruiting such an amazing and talented apprentice. He is more than just one in a million. He has great potential and great potential."
This is probably where Li Yuan is more powerful than Sun Jie, the leader of Shuilong Sect.
Including Sun Jie and Mirage Shuijun, and of course Li Yuan's colleague Shen Lin, who has the shame to say this in front of Master Huolong.
Master Huolong said: "You go and inform the two islands of Baijia Cangbeard, and then say hello to Nanxun Water Palace. No matter what happens next, there is no need to be nervous."
Since it's business.
As Shuizheng, Li Yuan no longer smiled playfully, nodded, and turned into a little golden light that flashed away. On the other side of the two white-armored and blue-bearded islands, he was not willing to show up. It would be simpler to let Shen Lin and Nanxun Shuidian
Clean up the mess.
As long as Jidu and Dongtian Incense were not involved, Li Yuan was too lazy to meddle in other matters.
Zhang Shanfeng noticed that it was no longer raining on Fushui Island, so he put away his oil-paper umbrella and whispered: "Master, I think there is something strange about Fushui Island. The rain comes and goes without any warning."
Master Huolong nodded and said: "The mountain peak is as careful as hair and has insight into every detail."
Zhang Shanfeng smiled and said: "Learned it from Chen Ping'an."
Master Huolong smiled and asked, "Did Chen Ping'an learn anything from you?"
Zhang Shanfeng thought carefully, "Cry poor and hungry?"
Master Huolong smiled and said: "Not bad."
After about a stick of incense.
Zhang Shanfeng and Master Huolong took the talisman boat rented from Shuilong Sect and went to the sea of clouds together, overlooking Fushui Island in the distance.
Zhang Shanfeng suddenly noticed a carriage leaping out of the lake between Bai Jia Cang and the Beard Island. There was a female deity standing in front, seeming to be using her magical power to control the spiritual energy from all directions in the world and gather towards the Beard Water Island.
Zhang Shanfeng suddenly said: "With Chen Ping'an's temper, if he finds out what the Water Goddess has done afterwards, he will have to be grateful for a long time."
Master Huolong said slowly: "Heaven and earth produce all things and nourish people. How to treat heaven and earth is a great question for those who practice Taoism. It is the same table of food. Some people eat it happily, some chew it slowly, and some people say thank you. This is a good man and a believer.
Some people pay the bill and pay back the money, for fear of owing a copper coin. This is us cultivators. Some people lift the table after finishing the meal, for fear that others will also be able to eat, but the people behind them will call the strong one, full of awe.
He would look for food elsewhere and follow the same pattern. Even if he couldn't knock the table over, he would put down his chopsticks and scold his mother. Before leaving, he would even spit into the dishes on the table. After someone got up, he would put away his dishes and chopsticks, but he still wouldn't immediately put down his chopsticks.
When I was away, I would help repair the rickety dining table stools, and the people waiting behind me would complain, and maybe even kick them a few times."
Zhang Shanfeng was a little confused.
Master Huolong said with emotion: "The people who disappoint the Confucian sages the most are always the scholars. The people who make Taoism the most dusty are the practitioners. The people who do the most harm to the Buddhist dharma are always those who chant sutras."
Zhang Shanfeng asked: "What should I do?"
The old man said slowly: "Restrain yourself. Seek truth. Take care of yourself."
Zhang Shanfeng was worried and asked softly: "Chen Pingan, how are you doing?"
Master Huolong thought for a while, "Qi Jingchun's knowledge has never been in vain."
Zhang Shanfeng asked again, "Does Chen Ping'an himself know?"
Master Huolong shook his head and said, "I never knew."
Zhang Shanfeng suddenly said: "I think this is right."
Master Huolong was stunned for an unprecedented moment, looked at it intently, shook his head and said with a smile: "What a wooden house in an alley, but a locust wood door appeared out of thin air. This is a bit unreasonable."
The small house in Huaimen is half-opened, and every time I pass by, I seem to hear the sound of crying.
There is a peach tree inside, with no leaves and no flowers.
I don’t know when those gentle sobs that knock on the door of my heart will gradually dissipate, and I don’t know when the peach leaves and peach blossoms will meet again.
Maybe next spring.
It may take longer.
Outside the door of the alley, stood a lonely young man in a green shirt, looking longingly at a child not far away from the alley who was jumping home happily, shouting that he would soon be able to eat candied haws.
Chen Pingan, who was no longer even a teenager, slowly stretched out his hand as if to say hello to the child.
The carefree, innocent child stopped and tilted his head to look at the adult.
In the end, the child didn't seem to recognize who the other party was.
But the child lost his laughter and just walked silently past the man's figure, went to the house, and closed the half-open courtyard door.
Just leaving his grown-up self standing outside the door.
The last child seemed to be a little older, taller, and darker. The child opened the door and walked out of the house, carrying a large basket with pots and pans, pots for cooking medicine, and
Worn and whitened Spring Festival couplets.
The child lowered his head, grasped the rope hanging the basket tightly with both hands, staggered, left the house and alley, and never returned home.
