During the plum rain season, traveling to a foreign land is already an extremely boring thing, not to mention having a knife on your neck. This makes the old servant Sui Xinyu even more worried. After passing several inns, he faced the travel poems on the walls.
It made the literary giant feel the same. He drank alcohol several times to drown his sorrows, which made the young and girls more and more worried. Only the power girl always dealt with it calmly.
The four cavalrymen only dared to choose the official road to go to the capital of Wuling Kingdom. In the dusk of that day, the heavy rain had just stopped. Even if they drove faster in the previous heavy rain, they still could not reach the inn before nightfall. This made it difficult for them to just take off their raincaps.
The old servant wearing a bamboo hat was miserable. Looking around, he always felt that dangers were lurking. If the old man was not still strong and strong, and after resigning and returning to his hometown, he often traveled with his old friends. Otherwise, he would have fallen ill long ago and could not bear it at all.
The pain of this bumpy escape.
On the official road, a half-familiar face appeared in a secret place beside the walk. It was the Jianghu man from the small pavilion on the Tea Horse Road. A young and muscular man with a sinewy face, only thirty years away from the Sui family.
After a few steps, the man held a long knife and without saying a word, he started running towards them.
Sui Xinyu shouted loudly: "Sword Immortal, help!"
It's just that the world is silent.
Then there was a burst of rapid horse hoofbeats beside the old servant who suddenly reined in his horse, and the powerful woman rode out.
The sword flashed, and a knight passed by the man holding the sword.
The Mi Li woman seemed to have been hit by a sword in the waist, her delicate body bent in an arc, she fell backwards from the horse and fell to the ground, vomiting blood.
The man kept rushing forward, slowly slowed down, staggered forward a few steps, and fell to the ground.
A golden hairpin was pierced into the face, neck and heart. However, the three golden hairpins were like the hidden weapons of martial arts warriors, and a bit like the flying swords of immortals. If there were not enough of them, they would be very dangerous and they might not be able to kill them instantly.
The golden hairpin on the face of this martial arts warrior only penetrated his cheek and was blurred by the blood. The golden hairpin at his heart was also offset by an inch and could not penetrate the heart accurately. Only the golden hairpin on his neck could
It's the real fatal wound.
The Mili woman stood up unsteadily and touched her abdomen. For some reason, the Jianghu swordsman changed the blade to the back when he drew the sword. It should be to hurt people rather than kill. Sui Jingcheng tried his best to let himself breathe.
Smoothly, I could vaguely hear a slight banging sound in the distance.
Sui Jingcheng turned his head and shouted: "Be careful! Get off your horse and avoid it!"
Someone drew a big bow and shot hard. The arrows shot through the air quickly, and the whistling sound was heart-stirring.
Sui Jingcheng had blood oozing from the corner of his mouth. He still endured the severe pain in his waist. He held his breath and concentrated, silently reciting the formula. According to the secret map contained in the booklet given by the master back then, he kneaded the formula with one hand, twisted his waist, and twirled his cuffs.
A gold hairpin was pulled out from the corpse in the official road and faced the arrow. The gold hairpin moved very quickly. Even after the sound of the bowstring, the gold hairpin still hit the arrow and splashed.
There were three sparks, but the arrow still did not change its trajectory and shot towards the head of the old servant sitting high on the horse.
Sui Jingcheng's face was full of despair. Even if he secretly gave his father the plain gauze bamboo coat to put on, if an arrow hit his head, how could he be saved if he was wearing a legendary fairy robe?
Sui Jingcheng's eyes widened, tears welling up in his eyes.
At the moment of life and death, sincerity can be seen.
Even though Sui Jingcheng did not agree with all his father's behavior as an official and as a person, the love between father and daughter cannot be faked.
Just like that piece of plain gauze bamboo clothing as thin as cicada wings, part of the reason why Sui Xinyu was allowed to wear it was because Sui Jingcheng guessed that his life was not in danger for the time being, but when a disaster was approaching, it was not possible for someone like Sui Jingcheng to be willing to take such a gamble.
All children in the world can do it, especially smart women like Sui Jingcheng who aspire to practice immortality.
next moment.
A man in white clothes with a sword appeared out of thin air, standing just on top of the arrow. He hovered it near Sui Xinyu and his horse. It fell gently, and the arrow fell to the ground under his feet and turned into powder.
Another arrow whizzed in, this time at an extremely fast speed, causing wind, thunder and earthquakes. Before the arrow broke through the air, there was the sound of the bow string snapping.
But the arrow was caught by the young man in white and shattered in his hand.
The swordsman in white looked at where the arrow came from and said with a smile: "Xiao Shuye, aren't you a swordsman? Why did you change your bow?"
The white-robed swordsman swooped away.
Sui Jingcheng shouted: "Be careful of the plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain..."
However, the white-clothed swordsman who had changed his attire ignored him and pursued him alone. A white rainbow rose from the ground, dazzling others.
Sui Jingcheng immediately got on his horse and rode away. With a wave of his hand, he put away three gold hairpins that had fallen on the road and put them into his sleeves. He shouted to the three of them: "Hurry up!"
The four Sui family riders galloped away.
After the horse galloped for several miles, the outline of the station was still missing. The old servant felt that his bones were falling apart due to the jolt of the horse, and he burst into tears.
Sui Jingcheng raised his arms high and suddenly stopped his horse.
The other three riders also quickly tightened their reins.
On the road, Cao Fu held his hands behind his back, smiled and stretched out a hand towards the Mi Li woman, "Jingcheng, come with me to the mountain to practice. I can guarantee that as long as you go to the mountain with me, all future generations of the Sui family will be blessed."
Wealth and honor are waiting for you."
Sui Xinyu's expression changed.
Sui Jingcheng sneered and said: "If this is really the case, why did you, Cao Fu, go to such trouble? With the temper of my father and the Sui family, they would only surrender me with both hands. If I am not wrong, the disciple of Hunjiang Jiao Yang Yuan was not careful before.
I let it slip, mentioning that the new list of ten great masters has been released. Our senior Wuling King Duan seems to be at the bottom? So should the so-called four beauties. Why, I, Sui Jingcheng, am also lucky enough to be among this list? I don’t know.
What is this statement? If I am not wrong, your master, who is a land god, is bound to win over me, Sui Jingcheng. It is true, but unfortunately you may not be able to protect me, Sui Jingcheng, let alone the Sui family, so I can only
Make a secret plan to take me to your cultivation place of Cao Fu first."
Cao Fu retracted his hand and moved forward slowly, "Jingcheng, you have always been so smart and amazing. You are worthy of being a woman with a deep connection with Taoism. Please become a Taoist couple with me. We can climb mountains and travel together, and be free and happy."
Isn't it wonderful to control the wind? I have become a Taoist who eats rosy clouds and drinks dew. In the blink of an eye, sixty years have passed in the world. The so-called relatives are all bones, so why bother. If there is true guilt, even if there are some disasters, as long as the Sui family is still alive
It is their blessing to have heirs alive. When you and I join hands and become Earth Immortals, the Sui family can still easily rise in the Wuling Kingdom."
Sui Xinyu finally understood what Cao Fu meant. It wasn't until this moment that he suddenly realized that the other party only cared about Sui Jingcheng's life and death. Once his daughter left, the Sui family seemed to be in danger?
Sui Xinyu cursed loudly: "Cao Fu, I have always treated you well, why did you harm my Sui family like this?!"
Cao Fu smiled and said: "Uncle Sui naturally treated me well. He had a very good vision at that time, so he chose me as his son-in-law. Therefore, if Uncle Sui does not have the opportunity to grasp this kindness with his own hands, I will be able to practice Taoism with Jing Cheng in the future.
Repay it double to the descendants of the Sui family."
Sui Xinyu was so angry that he put his hand on his forehead.
Cao Fu looked away and said, "No more polite words to you, Jing Cheng. I will give you one last chance. If you leave me obediently, I will not kill the other three. If you are unwilling, I will have to beat you up."
"Halo, then you won't be able to see the bodies of the other three. In the future, just like the empress of a secular dynasty, they can all be omitted. Only on my mountain, during the Qingming Festival, you and I will pay tribute remotely."
Sui Jingcheng picked up the power fence and threw it away, and asked: "You and I are going to the Fairy Mountain on horseback? Aren't you afraid that the swordsman will kill Xiao Shuye and come back to trouble you?"
Cao Fu twisted out a few talismans and said confidently: "You are now half a Taoist. Post this talisman, you and I can travel far away in the wind."
Sui Jingcheng got off his horse and said, "I promise you."
Cao Fu stretched out his hand and said, "That's right. Once you have experienced the real magic of the Immortal Master of Immortal Mountain, you will understand how wise your choice today is."
The two of them were no more than ten steps apart.
Suddenly, three golden hairpins flew out from Sui Jingcheng's side. However, Cao Fu rolled up his sleeve and held it in his hand. Even if he just held the shining golden hairpin gently in his hand, the palm of his hand was actually hot.
, his skin exploded, and his flesh and blood instantly became bloody. Cao Fu frowned, took out a golden talisman given by his master before leaving, silently recited the incantation, and wrapped the three golden hairpins in it, and then the phenomenon of the precious light flowing around disappeared.
, carefully put it into his sleeve, Cao Fu said with a smile: "Jing Cheng, don't worry, I won't be angry with you. It's your unruly temper that makes me tempted the most."
Cao Fu glanced around Sui Jingcheng, "It's just that you regretted it first, so don't blame your husband for breaking the contract later."
Cao Fu was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly: "Why, there is someone behind me, Jing Cheng, do you know that in mountain cultivation, how to know your fate and follow the trend is a knowledge that you must understand."
It's just that Sui Jingcheng's expression is a little strange.
Cao Fu suddenly turned his head, but there was no one there.
Sui Jingcheng gritted his teeth, and all the little accumulated Qifu spiritual energy in his body rushed to his wrist. With one palm, white light shining in the veins, he stepped forward and slapped Cao Fu quickly.
The back of the head.
But Cao Fu turned around, reached out with his backhand, grabbed Sui Jingcheng's white wrist that circulated spiritual energy, and the veins in the palm were full of spiritual energy, grabbed it in front of him, and hit Sui Jingcheng's forehead with his elbow, Cao Fu pulled him down hard.
, Sui Jingcheng collapsed to the ground, his arm was stepped on by Cao Fu, he leaned over and said with a smile: "Do you know that a real cultivator like me, just need to concentrate a little and look at your long autumn eyes,
You can clearly see if anyone appears behind me? The reason why I turned around is just to make you despair again."
Cao Fu twisted his toes, and Sui Jingcheng groaned. Cao Fu poked the woman's forehead with both fingers. The latter seemed to have been cast a body-fixing technique. Cao Fu smiled and said: "Now that the matter has come to this, I might as well tell you the truth, and I will select you in the Great Seal Script Dynasty."
After you become one of the four beauties of the Sui family, you have only three ways to go. You can either follow your father to Dazhuan Capital City and be selected as the crown princess, or you can be intercepted by the emperor's envoy from a certain country in the north on the way.
Become the queen of a small border country, or be taken to the border of Qingci Country as a master. My master will first refine you into a living cauldron, teach you a secret technique, and then turn you into a living cauldron.
He gave it to a real immortal, who is the uncle of the master of the Golden Scale Palace. But don’t be afraid. For you, this is a great thing. You are lucky enough to practice double cultivation with a Nascent Soul Immortal. You are practicing
On the road, the realm will only advance by leaps and bounds. Xiao Shuye didn't know this, so the sword cultivator who happened to meet him was some kind of Golden Scale Palace Jindan cultivator. He was bluffing. I was too lazy to expose him, so I just let Xiao Shuye sell more.
Strength. Even if Xiao Shuye is dead, Master and I will make a lot of money from this transaction."
Cao Fu said with emotion: "Jingcheng, you and I are really not destined to be together. Your prediction of fortune with copper coins was actually right."
Cao Fu helped Sui Jingcheng up, twisted out two talismans, bent down and placed them on her ankles, and looked at the three Sui family cavalrymen, "No matter what, they are all dead."
At this moment, a familiar voice beside Cao Fu said, "That's it. There are no more secrets to say? So, it is the Patriarch of the Golden Scale Palace who wants Sui Jingcheng. Your master wants to divide Sui Jingcheng's body."
Taoist artifact, what about you, after all the hard work, you have exhausted all your organs and worked so hard in vain?"
Cao Fu straightened up with a wry smile, turned around and saw a man in a blue shirt standing next to him. Cao Fu asked, "Didn't you go after Xiao Shuye?"
The man said: "The Yin Shen travels far away. You claim to be a true Taoist, but you have never seen this?"
Cao Fu said helplessly: "Sword cultivators rarely see Yin gods traveling far away."
The man nodded, "So if you travel less in the world, you should do less bad things."
Cao Fu still wants to talk.
He had fallen backward and fainted.
Chen Pingan waved his hand to break up the spiritual restraint Cao Fu had placed on Sui Jingcheng's forehead.
With another wave of his sleeves, the body on the road was swept out of the avenue and fell into the grass in the distance.
In the far distance, a white rainbow was no more than two or three feet above the ground. It came with a sword in its hand, holding a dead head, which floated down on the road, overlapping with the man in green clothes. It rippled and turned into a person.
It's just that the guest in green shirt has an extra head in his hand.
Chen Ping'an said to Sui Jingcheng: "You are so smart, how can you decide how to go in the future?"
Sui Jingcheng knelt on the ground and began to kowtow, "When I am in Wuling Kingdom, the Sui family will definitely be destroyed. Only if I am not around will there be a chance of survival. Please accept the Immortal Master as my disciple!"
Chen Ping'an glanced at the power that Sui Jingcheng had previously thrown on the ground.
Li smiled and said: "If you had practiced cultivation earlier and could have become a genealogy master with an orderly inheritance, you would have achieved a lot by now."
It was dark at night, on a mountain top, Cao Fu had a splitting headache. After slowly opening his eyes, he found himself sitting cross-legged and holding something.
Looking down, Cao Fu was heartbroken.
He raised his head and saw that the young scholar was sitting cross-legged next to the campfire, with the hiking pole placed across his legs and a bamboo box behind him.
Sui Jingcheng, who had no power barrier to cover her beautiful face, was sitting near the man, curled up with her hands on her knees, and she was lost in thought.
Cao Fu held Xiao Shuye's head and did not dare to move.
Chen Ping'an asked: "Tell me more about your master's sect and Jinlin Palace."
Without any hesitation, Cao Fu poured the beans into the bamboo tube and told all the inside stories and truths he knew.
He didn't want to be with Xiao Shuye on the Huangquan Road.
The master said that Xiao Shuye has exhausted his potential, but Cao Fu is different and has the qualifications for golden elixir.
Chen Ping'an asked again: "Tell me more about your family affairs and the Jianghu affairs of Wuling Kingdom."
Cao Fu still knows everything and talks about everything.
Sui Jingcheng had already come to his senses when Cao Fu spoke for the first time and listened silently.
After Cao Fu finished speaking, the man said: "You can take this head and leave. After secretly escorting the old servant back to his hometown, you can return to the master's door to pay for the mission."
Sui Jingcheng was about to speak but stopped.
The man didn't look at her, but said casually: "If you want to kill Cao Fu, try it yourself."
Cao Fu's face changed slightly.
Cao Fu actually didn't die in the end, he just left the mountain with the head.
After walking down the mountain, I felt as if I had lived in another world, but my fate was uncertain and my future was unpredictable. This young immortal master, who originally thought that the world of Wuling Kingdom was just a small mud pond, was still uneasy.
By the campfire.
Sui Jingcheng suddenly said: "Thank you, senior."
Killing Cao Fu is too easy and simple, but for the Sui family, it may not be a good thing.
Xiao Shuye and Cao Fu would both die tonight.
Many people will die, probably Hunjiang Jiao Yang Yuan, Huodu Gang leader Hu Xinfeng, and then the entire Sui family.
Cao Fu was casually let go and left to communicate with the people behind the scenes. This in itself was a demonstration by the green-robed swordsman to Master Cao Fu and the Golden Scale Palace.
Chen Ping'an fiddled with the bonfire, "Talk to smart people, it will save you worry and effort."
Then Sui Jingcheng saw the man take out the chessboard and chess jar from the bamboo box, and then instead of playing chess like in the pavilion, he started to control an immortal flying sword and began to carve two chess pieces to see his carving skills.
, Sui Jingcheng saw that the names of Master Cao Fu and the Patriarch of Jinlin Palace and the name of the mountain were engraved on the front and back respectively, and then there were several chess pieces, all of which were important monks of both immortal families, placed one by one on the chessboard.
above.
Sui Jingcheng smiled and said: "Senior, you have been looking at us since we met at the pavilion, right?"
Chen Pingan nodded and said: "Your gambling luck is very good, I am very envious."
Sui Jingcheng looked embarrassed.
It seems that in this person's eyes, his self-righteous scheming is nothing more than a childish horse flying a paper kite, which is very ridiculous.
Chen Pingan placed the chess pieces from the two consecutive games one by one on the edge of the chessboard.
Chen Pingan put his hands in his sleeves, stared at the chess pieces, and said slowly: "In the pavilion, the young Sui Wenfa made a joke with me. It's not right or wrong, but you asked him to apologize. The old minister said something I think
Very reasonable words. Then Sui Wenfa sincerely apologized."
Chen Ping'an raised his head and looked at Sui Jingcheng, "I think this is the kind of family tradition that a scholarly family should have. It's very good. Even if your father's thoughts and actions later are actually unworthy of the word 'chunzheng', but one thing is one thing."
, there are differences in order, big and small, and there is no conflict between the two. So before Yang Yuan’s group of people blocked our way, I deliberately complained about the mud getting my shoes on, and returned to the pavilion. Because I feel that when scholars go into the world,
If you read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles, you should not be blocked by wind and rain."
Sui Jingcheng nodded and asked curiously: "Senior noticed the arrival of Cao Fu and Xiao Shuye at that time? Did he already know that this was a trap?"
Chen Pingan looked at the night, "I knew it earlier."
Sui Jingcheng's smile is as beautiful as a flower, charming and charming.
In the past, she had read those fantasy novels and Jianghu novels, but she had never admired or admired the kind of immortals with a sword like a rainbow, or those who could kill bandits with one punch. These two kinds of people and two things are good, of course, and it makes her like this
The person who opened the book felt that it was very satisfying. She should drink tea and wine when reading to a happy point, but it was still not enough. There was still a gap between her and the worldly master who practiced immortal magic and achieved great success in her mind.
She feels that the real Taoist people are those who have insight into people's hearts everywhere, can calculate all strategies, and are consistent with Taoism. They are as high as the sea of clouds. They are the real people who have gained the Tao. They are the real land gods who sit high in the sea of clouds. They are aloof and indifferent to the human world.
, but I don’t mind playing in the world while walking down the mountain, but I am still willing to punish evil and promote good.
Chen Pingan said slowly: "The wisdom and stupidity of the world are both double-edged swords. As long as the sword is out of the sheath, good things and bad things will happen in this world. So I have to look again, look carefully, slowly
Take a look. You'd better remember what I say tonight so that you can explain it to someone in detail in the future. As for how much you can listen to and how much you can grasp and use for your own use, I don't care. I told you before
However, I will not accept you as a disciple. Your attitude towards the world is too similar to mine. I don’t think I can teach you the right thing. As for teaching you any immortal magic, forget it. If you can leave Beijing alive,
Ju Luzhou, go to Aquarius Island, there will be an opportunity waiting for you to catch it."
Sui Jingcheng changed his sitting posture and knelt down beside the bonfire, "Jing Cheng will remember every word of the teachings of my predecessors. It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish. Jing Cheng still knows this truth. Senior taught me the fundamentals of the Tao."
, more important than any immortal magic."
Chen Pingan stretched out his hand from his sleeve and pointed at the chessboard, "In my opinion, there may not be absolute truth that applies everywhere, but there are absolute facts and truth. When you first see clearly the human heart hidden behind words and actions
The truth, if you know some context and sequence, complicated things will become simpler. The truth is inevitably exaggerated, just you and I can replay two games of chess."
Chen Pingan twisted a chess piece and said, "Between life and death, human nature can be very evil. It is understandable that you will do whatever it takes to survive in death. As for whether you accept it or not, it depends on the person."
He raised the chess piece and gently landed it on the chessboard, "Hu Xinfeng of the Crossing Gang chose evil at that moment. So he walked around the world and was conceited about life and death. From my side, it may not be right, but on the chessboard at that time,
He sought life from death and succeeded. Because unlike you, Sui Jingcheng, he never guessed that I was also a cultivator from beginning to end, and he dared to secretly observe the situation."
Sui Jingcheng asked: "If he swears to protect the four of my Sui family to the death, what will senior do?"
Chen Ping'an said slowly: "Then Wuling Kingdom should continue to have such a true hero and continue to travel around the world. After the storm, if such a hero is still willing to invite me to drink, I will feel honored."
Chen Ping'an pointed at the two chess pieces that had not yet entered the game, "Cao Fu is a mountain immortal master, or Xiao Shuye is a golden body martial artist? Are the rivers and lakes under the mountain really full of ponds? One step at a time
Go and see the bottom? Don’t say it’s them. Even if I’m so careful, I’ll still be inexplicably hit by someone in the sword-swallowing boat, I’ll be fought over for my flying sword on the Skeleton Beach, and I’ll almost die on the Jinfei Lake and Zhengrong Peak.
.So, the world is dangerous, no matter good or bad, if you are careful to avoid disaster, you may die, not to mention that you want to die. If you die, Xiao Shuye can only blame his own neck that is not strong enough to carry others.
slashed with one sword."
Chen Ping'an pinched the chess piece with both fingers, "But Hu Xinfeng did not choose to be chivalrous, but instead had evil thoughts. This is human nature. I will not kill him for this, but let him live and die. He will finally fight it out on his own."
So I said, apart from me, Hu Xinfeng made a right choice at that moment. As for what happened later on the Tea Horse Road, there is no need to talk about it. That is another game of heart-searching chess, and you have already
It’s irrelevant.”
Chen Ping'an placed the four chess pieces of the four Sui family members on the chessboard, "I have known for a long time that you are in a chess game. Cao Fu is the chess player. It was later proven that he was also one of the chess pieces. He was behind the scenes of the master sect and the Jinlin Palace."
Both sides are the real masters of the chess game. Let’s not talk about the latter first. I will just say that at that time, there was a problem in front of me. The crux of the problem was that I didn’t know what Cao Fu’s original intention was in setting up this trap and what kind of person he was.
, where is the bottom line between good and evil? What grudges does he have with the Sui family? After all, the Sui family is a scholarly family, but it may not have made big mistakes in the past. Cao Fu did this with ulterior motives and came here secretly.
I even roped in people like Hunjiang Jiao and Yang Yuan into the game. Naturally, my behavior was not fair enough. However, it was also possible that I was doing a good thing. Since I didn't kill people as soon as I showed up, how could I do it at that time?
Are you sure that for you, Sui Jingcheng, and the Sui family, this is not a good thing that will turn around and everyone will be happy?"
Sui Jingcheng nodded slightly.
Chen Ping'an leaned forward and stretched out his fingers to hold the chess piece engraved with Sui Xinyu's name. "The first person to disappoint me was not Hu Xinfeng, but your father."
Sui Jingcheng wondered: "Why is this? In case of disaster, you protect yourself and don't dare to save others. If you are an ordinary martial arts hero, I would not be surprised if you feel disappointed, but with the temperament of the senior..."
Sui Jingcheng did not continue speaking for fear of adding more meaning to the matter.
Chen Pingan put away his fingers and said with a smile: "The son of a rich man cannot sit down in the hall, and the gentleman cannot stand under a dangerous wall. These are all reasonable. Sui Xinyu did not say a word in the pavilion, which is a mature and prudent behavior.
, This is not the fault. But let me ask you, who is your father Sui Xinyu?"
Sui Jingcheng was not in a hurry to answer. Her father? The head of the Sui family? The first person in Wuling Kingdom's chess world? The former minister of the Ministry of Industry? Sui Jingcheng suddenly had an idea. Thinking of the attire of the senior in front of her, she sighed and said: "
He is a great literati from Wuling Kingdom who is full of poems and books, and he is a scholar who understands many sages’ teachings.”
Chen Pingan said: "The more important fact is that Hu Xinfeng did not tell you the identity of the other party at that time, and there was a notorious Hunjiang Jiao Yang Yuan hidden inside.
So the fact that Sui Xinyu was facing at the moment was that in the Xingting, it was not a life and death situation, but a somewhat troublesome and thorny situation. In the Wuling Kingdom, was the name of Hu Xinfeng, the leader of the Crossing Gang, useful across mountains and rivers?
"
Sui Jingcheng said with a frown: "Of course it will be useful. At the time, I thought it was just a farce. So for seniors, I was actually... tentative at the time. So I deliberately didn't ask to borrow money."
Chen Ping'an said: "Because Hu Xinfeng was afraid of getting angry and was unwilling to reveal Yang Yuan's identity, he acted very calmly. The reminder to you is just right. This is the experience that a veteran in the world should have. It is earned with life. So I saw it at the time
I glanced at the old servant. The old servant was relieved when he saw that I didn't ask for a loan. This was nothing, it was still human nature. However, Sui Xinyu was a scholar, and he was a man who once held a high position and used his sage knowledge to serve the country and benefit the people.
Scholars..."
Having said this, Chen Ping'an stretched out his two thumbs and index fingers, bending them slightly but not touching them, like holding a chess piece, "The sage once said that the presence or absence of compassion can distinguish between humans and animals. What do you think of Sui Xinyu,
Did your father have any compassion at all at that time? You are his daughter. As long as it is not dark under the lamp, you should be more familiar with his temperament than me. "
Sui Jingcheng shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "No."
Sui Jingcheng looked sad and seemed to be saying to himself, "Really not."
"So when a person walks slowly on the road and sees more and thinks more, it is always a double-edged sword. If he sees too many people and things, that's what happens."
The man looked as usual, as if he was used to it. He raised his head, looked into the distance, and said softly: "Between life and death, I always believe that besides survival, it is understandable that the evil of mustard seeds can suddenly become as big as a mountain. But some people may not
There are too many, but there must be some people who, at those moments when they know they are going to die, will have little bits of light that suddenly ignite."
"I'm watching over the pavilion and all the way after that, and I'm waiting."
"As long as I find a spark of light, even that little bit of light will be extinguished if someone pinches it."
"But this kind of brilliance of humanity, in my opinion, even if there is only one light, it can compete with the sun and the moon for brilliance."
Chen Ping'an withdrew his gaze and said, "What if Hu Xinfeng tried his best for the first time?"
The so-called loyalty to the world, risking one's life, and doing something that seems very stupid. I don't have to watch this game, I will take action at that time. The second time, if your father even stood by and watched, he still had a little bit of trouble.
With a compassionate heart, rather than a mindset that would scold him loudly as soon as I opened my mouth, I no longer watched the game, but chose to take action."
Chen Pingan smiled, "On the contrary, it was Hu Xinfeng who surprised me. Finally, after I separated from you, I found Hu Xinfeng, and I saw it in him. Once before he died, he begged me not to implicate innocent family members.
Once, I asked him if the four of you deserved to die. He said that Sui Xinyu was actually a good official and friend. The last time, he naturally talked about his chivalrous and righteous deeds in the past. It was a very interesting statement.
"
Sui Jingcheng said softly: "But no matter what, senior is always watching. Why is senior so obviously disappointed and still protecting us secretly?"
"Taoists say that blessings and misfortunes have no way but are brought about by oneself. Buddhism says that yesterday's cause and today's result are the same. However, there are many half-hearted mountain gods in the world. In fact, they are not real Taoists. As long as they are there, it is impossible to
Difficult truths become even more difficult to explain."
Chen Pingan said: "But you are the weak ones in the predicament of Xingting. I happened to meet you, thought about it carefully, and had the ability to protect myself, so I didn't leave. But during this period, besides your life and death,
, any hardships you endure, such as running for your life in the rain, being in fear all the way, or being knocked off a horse with the back of a knife, are all what you asked for, and are what the world gives you. In the long run, this is not the case.
What a bad thing. After all, you are still alive, and there are more weak people who have more reasons to live than you, but they die just because they say they will."
It's okay for the weak to demand that the strong do more. Chen Pingan feels that it's okay. Even if there are many weak people who are protected by the strong without any sense of gratitude, Chen Pingan now feels that it doesn't matter.
After the battle in Suijia City, Chen Ping'an never regretted it.
Because in any alley in Suijia City, there might be a Chen Ping'an or a Liu Xianyang, growing up silently.
If it is said that disasters have been around for thousands of years, the world is like this, people's hearts are like this, and it is difficult to change, then good people should be smarter and live longer, instead of being kind-hearted and suffering people, they will become that disaster, and evil will breed.
, the cycle is endless, landslides and landslides, sooner or later, everyone must return to the ruthless avenue of heaven and earth.
Sui Jingcheng thought silently and threw a few dead branches into the bonfire. She was about to ask why her seniors didn't kill Yang Yuan's gang of bandits in Hunjiang, but she quickly figured out the reason and didn't ask any more questions.
Once alerted, Cao Fu and Xiao Shuye will only be more patient and cautious.
Sui Jingcheng wanted to ask again why he didn't kill those two people on the spot on the Tea Horse Road, but Sui Jingcheng still quickly came up with the answer on his own.
Why?
Where is the bottom line between good and evil between these two people?
Sui Jingcheng reached out and rubbed his temples.
She understood a lot of things, but she just felt a little headache, and her mind started to become a mess. Do you have to be so restrained when practicing on the mountain? Then, if you have mastered the skills of a swordsman like your predecessor, do you have to do everything like this?
Cumbersome? If you encounter some scenes where you must take action in time, and it is difficult to distinguish between good and evil, do you still need to use Taoism to save people or kill people?
The man seemed to have seen through Sui Jingcheng's thoughts and said with a smile: "When you become accustomed to it and see more people and things, you will have a sense of proportion before taking action. Not only will you not be sloppy, but it will not matter whether it is a sword or Taoism.
Soon, only very quickly."
He pointed at the chess pieces on the chessboard, "If Yang Yuan was going to slap the four of you Sui family to death as soon as he entered the pavilion, or if I didn't see through Fu Zhen's sword at that time to block Hu Xinfeng's punch, I would naturally
Then they won’t watch from afar. Believe me, neither Fu Zhen nor Hu Xinfeng will know how they died.”
Chen Pingan looked at Sui Jingcheng who smiled and nodded.
She knelt on the official road before and prayed again, "Sui Jingcheng wants to follow his predecessors to practice the immortal arts!"
He asked two questions, "Why? Why?"
"I have been blessed with opportunities since I was a child. I have the talent for cultivation, and I have the precious treasure of the Immortal Family as a gift from an expert. I am a natural-born person to practice Taoism. I just suffer from the lack of a master on the mountain to guide me. After I have cultivated the Immortal Dharma, I will be like my predecessors.
Walk the world!"
Two answers, one is correct and the other is still very smart.
So Chen Pingan planned to ask her to find Cui Dongshan and practice with him. He knew how to teach Sui Jingcheng, not only to teach immortal magic, but also to be a human being.
Chen Ping'an dare not make any judgments about Sui Jingcheng's talent, but her mind is indeed good. Especially her gambling luck, which is always good, is not a matter of great luck, but... gambling skills.
But this is not all the reason why Chen Pingan wants Sui Jingcheng to go to Aquarius Continent to find Cui Dongshan.
After watching two games of chess, Chen Pingan had something that he wanted to let his disciple Cui Dongshan take a look at. It was half the answer to the question that the student asked his teacher back then.
Chen Ping'an took out Fei Sword Fifteen, twisted it gently, and began to lower his head and bend down on the small hiking stick that was like a green bamboo, and cut it with a knife.
As far as Sui Jingcheng could see, it seemed as if a knife was carved into its original place.
Sui Jingcheng didn't say a word, just stared at the man silently carving on the hiking stick with wide eyes.
After burning the incense, Sui Jingcheng's eyes were sore and he rubbed his eyes.
About an hour later, the man put away the flying sword that he used as a carving knife, and the light of the sword flashed between his eyebrows.
Chen Pingan said seriously: "After you find that person, tell him that I have some ideas about the answer to that question, but before answering the question, there must be two prerequisites. One is that what you are pursuing must be absolutely correct. The other is
Know your mistakes when you know they are wrong, and you can correct them if you know them. As for how to correct them, and in what way to know and correct them, the answer lies in this hiking pole. Let Cui Dongshan see for himself, and I hope he can compare
I see more carefully and farther, and do better. One one is the countless ones, the avenue of heaven and earth, and all living beings in the world. Let him start with what he can see and what his mind can do. The correct result will not come.
He can turn a blind eye to the big and small mistakes made during the period. There is no such good thing in the world. Not only does he need to re-examine, but he must also look carefully. Otherwise, the so-called correct result is still a calculation of interests for a moment and a place, and is not a long-term and natural outcome.
Avenue.”
Sui Jingcheng was confused, but still nodded vigorously.
Chen Ping'an did not rush to hand over the hiking stick to Sui Jingcheng. He gently pressed the hiking stick with the palms of his hands and looked up at the sky. "Practice is about seizing opportunities, acquiring rare treasures and learning techniques, and observing the subtleties of people's hearts."
, more importantly, cultivating the Tao is sharpening the Taoist mind. You can also sharpen your state of mind by practicing the ruthless method. When you understand the teachings of sages, you should also know that the human heart is complicated. The human body is a small world, and the mind and thoughts are the most unstable. Although this matter is difficult at the beginning,
But as long as you face the difficulties and get lucky, it will be like building a second bridge of immortality, which will benefit you throughout your life."
Sui Jingcheng saw that the man just raised his head and looked into the night.
Chen Ping'an suddenly said: "On the way to the Xianjia Ferry Road to Green Ying Kingdom, do you think there is anything that needs to be checked and filled in regarding the safety of the Sui family? If you think of it, you can tell me, don't worry about bothering me.
Even if we need to turn around and return to Wuling Kingdom, it doesn’t matter.”
Chen Ping'an put his fingers together and tapped lightly on the hiking pole in two places. "After delineating and cutting, it's just one thing. How to do the best, looking at the end, is also a kind of practice. Extend from both ends.
If you go too far, you may not be able to do it well. That is when manpower is exhausted, and the same is true."
Sui Jingcheng thought of his outspoken arrangements during the mountain climbing. She smiled and shook her head, "Senior has thought carefully about it. Even Senior Wang Duan was included in it. I have nothing more to say."
Chen Ping'an waved his hand, "Don't rush to a conclusion. No one in the world has a foolproof plan. You don't need to think that I must be right just because I have a high level of cultivation. If I were you, Sui Jingcheng, and I was trapped in the Xingting situation,
Don’t talk about good or bad intentions, just talking about getting out of trouble, it won’t be any more right than what you did.”
Finally, the man looked away and looked at her with clear eyes.
Sui Jingcheng had never seen such a bright and clean light in the eyes of any man. He smiled and said: "This journey will probably take a while. If you talk to me, I will listen. No matter whether you are right or not, I will
Everyone is willing to listen first. If it makes sense, you are right, and I will admit my mistake. If you have a chance in the future, you will know whether I said some kind words to you."
"Then as long as I'm here, even if I'm alone, you can't say that all the truth in the world is in the hands of those with hard fists and high moral principles. If someone tells you this, whose fist in the world is
Those who insist are justified, don’t believe them. It’s because they have suffered enough, but they are not yet full. Because this kind of people, in fact, are protected by countless invisible rules in their lives without knowing it.”
"Besides, there are many people like me, but you haven't met them yet, or you may have met them a long time ago. It's precisely because of their reasoning, like spring breeze turning into rain, that moisturizes things silently, that you don't feel anything."
The man stood up, put his hands on the hiking pole, and looked at the mountains and rivers in the distance. "I hope that no matter ten years or a hundred years from now, Sui Jingcheng will be the one who can tell me to stay in the pavilion and be willing to give him a life-saving magic weapon."
Sui Jingcheng on others. There are thousands of lights in the world. Even if you become a monk on the mountain in the future, you can still see them when you look down. Even if they are alone in a house, a house or a room, they will appear bright and subtle, but
Once every household lights up, it will be a spectacular picture of the stars in the world. Today, there are those who practice Taoism in the world, and there are so many ordinary people. It is by relying on these inconspicuous lights that they can walk from the streets, alleys, countryside and markets.
Scholarly families, wealthy mansions, princes' homes, fairy mansions on mountains, from these places of varying heights, true strong men emerged one after another, with punches and swords and the true spirit of great righteousness.
Principle, clearing the way for future generations, silently protecting countless weak people, so we can stumble all the way to where we are today."
The man turned his head and said with a smile: "Let's talk about you and me, is it difficult to be a smart person and a bad person? I don't think it's difficult. Why is it difficult? It's difficult because we know that people's hearts are sinister, and we are still willing to be a person who needs it.
A good man who pays the price for justice.”
Sui Jingcheng's face turned red, "Senior, I'm not even close, I'm far behind!"
The man narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Well, I accept this flattery."
Sui Jingcheng was stunned.
The man continued to look at the night in the distance, resting his chin on the back of his hands, and chuckled: "You also helped me untie a knot in my heart. I have to thank you, that is, I learned how to get along with beautiful women, so next time I will do it again
I feel more confident when I go to the Great Wall of Sword Qi. Because I have seen a lot of beautiful girls in the world, and I don’t feel guilty if I look at them even more. Well, this can be regarded as a success in cultivating one’s mind.”
Sui Jingcheng hesitated for a moment, but still felt that he should say some harsh words, and timidly said: "Senior, just keep this kind of words in your heart, but don't say it directly to the woman you love, it won't be pleasing to you."
The man turned his head and asked doubtfully: "Can't you say?"
Sui Jingcheng nodded vigorously and said firmly: "You can't say!"
The man rubbed his chin and seemed a little confused.
Sui Jingcheng looked cheerful, "Senior, I am also considered one of the good-looking women, right?"
The man didn't turn around. He must have been in a good mood. He joked for the first time: "Don't try to ruin my path."
Sui Jingcheng didn't dare to push further.
But for her to become the "Beauty of the Sui Family" on the map of more than ten countries, juxtaposed with the other three peerless beauties who are alluring the country, as a woman, she is finally happy.
Her heart was relaxed and she felt a little sleepy. She shook her head and started to reach out to warm herself by the fire. After a while, she looked back and saw that the hiking pole was still in place, but the man in green shirt began to slowly walk around and practice boxing?
Sui Jingcheng rubbed his eyes and asked: "After arriving at the legendary Xianjia Ferry, will the seniors return to the Skeleton Beach in the south together?"
The man kept punching and shook his head and said: "No, so you have to be more careful on the ferry. Of course, I will try to prevent you from accidents, but you still have to walk the path of spiritual practice on your own."
Sui Jingcheng was about to speak but stopped.
The man said: "A hiking stick can be as important as your life. If you have to make a choice, don't hesitate. Life is important."
Sui Jingcheng said helplessly: "Senior, do you know everything?"
The man thought for a while and asked casually: "Are you in your thirties this year?"
Sui Jingcheng was speechless, turned his head and threw a few dead branches into the bonfire.
