Although they didn't know why the old man was waiting at the entrance of the village, and how important and solemn the sentence of "apology" was, the children were very simple and would be very happy if they had candy. After agreeing, they turned around He ran towards the village and quickly ran away.
Lingmiao Gong stood alone at the entrance of the village and saw a small river winding into the village. The village was leaning against the green mountains and surrounded by green water. He also saw bursts of smoke from cooking stoves. It looked peaceful and peaceful, but it was so peaceful and peaceful. Is there such a terrifying true cultivator hidden in the village?
The old man subconsciously raised his hand to brush his hair.
I still have lingering fears about the aftermath of yesterday's sword strike.
He used his earthly body and the divination technique of Tai Shang Dharma to divine the whereabouts of the young Taoist.
It was originally foolproof.
But he was struck back with a sword.
The sword energy and sword intention came along the earth's veins, cutting off the incense burner in his hand, and the force continued, even cutting off his bun, and then slowly dispersed. Such keen perception and spiritual clarity have already It was extremely extraordinary, and the moment the sword energy passed through his hair, Lingmiao Gong could sense the sharpness and vastness contained in the sword energy and sword intention.
That sword intention is pure and clear.
He seems to be looking down on all the sword cultivators in the world.
It is to point the sword at the heavenly palace and prove the sharp edge of the supreme realm of Hunyuan.
Such a clear spirit, such a vast sword intention, the combination of the two, and just one bow, the extremely pure and pure thoughts can suppress the human desires absorbed from the old land. The more Lingmiao thought about it, the more wrong it became, and the more The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became, but he didn't know that the young Taoist priest had a scroll of swords between his eyebrows. He just felt that he was being too rude and had already brought the treasures from the mountain to visit him early this morning.
Among them are spiritual jade, precious harps, wonderful elixirs, and various spiritual materials and scrolls, needless to say.
Lots of etiquette and standards.
The treasures carried are also appropriate.
Come with the attitude towards Taoist Master Yangshen.
Due to his status and identity, Taoist great masters can only see each other as equals, and ordinary masters still need to pay their respects.
Although the sword was strong, he was not in the mountain and was not on guard.
Just because he was rude, he lowered his status and only waited at the entrance of the village, and asked the naughty boy to pass the message to show his sincerity.
Several children trotted away. Originally they were just delivering a message, but these urchins somehow became more competitive with each other. They treated it as a running competition and ran all the way with all their strength. In front of the courtyard where Qi Wuhuo lived, the door was locked, so he knocked on the door while breathing heavily.
"Brother, are you at home?!"
"Big brother... Phew, let me take a breath, big brother..."
"Someone is looking for you."
I shouted for a while but there was no response.
On the contrary, several children were panting from exhaustion. They were leaning on their knees and bending over while knocking on the door. They even blushed and argued about who was the first one to come here. They pressed their palms against the door.
.
Suddenly there was an old voice, and then each of the three little boys was hit on the head and their brains collapsed.
"Noise, noisy, noisy, what are you arguing about?"
"If you have the energy and energy, go back and do some work for your parents, or go learn two words!"
"I wonder if there is anyone here who wants to rest?"
They raised their heads and saw old man Zhou Lingyi. The old man was walking here and sunbathing with a book in his hands. When they saw that these naughty children had calmed down, they asked: "What's the matter? Are you in such a hurry?"
One of the oldest children said: "There is someone."
"Someone is coming outside, looking for big brother."
"have a guest?"
Zhou Lingyi was slightly startled, then asked: "Where are the guests?"
The child replied: "The old gentleman said he would just wait at the entrance of the village."
"Let's come here and give a shout to big brother."
The old man who had been an official frowned slightly, and he seemed to sense something was wrong in his heart. However, recalling the young Taoist priest in a simple Taoist robe, he felt that he was overthinking it - the man also bought a sturdy backpack in the village today.
, just now I was carrying a basket on my back and a small medicine hammer, and went to the mountain to pick herbs. It looked simple and approachable.
He shook his head, threw away the mixed thoughts in his mind, and said: "He went to the mountain to collect medicine, and he is not here now."
"Besides, that guest is just being polite, but you can't really let me wait at the entrance of the village."
"At least invite in for a cup of tea."
"Otherwise if word gets out, it will make people think that our Shuiyun Village is arrogant and neglects our guests!"
"ah?!"
"Then, let's go now!"
"Okay, let's see who can go over first and bring the old man in!"
"That must be me!"
After a few words, a few children started arguing again. Children of this age are like this. They are very fickle. No one is convinced and they run all the way.
Zhou Lingyi was helpless. He was old and his waist and legs were not very good. When he was young, he had walked through mountains, rivers and lakes. But when he got old, he couldn't even catch up with the naive and naughty children. He only watched those young and lively children from him.
Run away from the side and go far beyond yourself.
I don't know why, but I feel so grateful.
I smiled and sighed as I was getting old, so I walked slowly away.
Outside Shuiyun Township.
Lord Lingmiao was still waiting, because in his previous experience, he did not use his magical powers to 'see' this village.
Just stood quietly.
He saw several children approaching from a distance, and then raised his eyes. After those children finished Zhou Lingyi's words, Lingmiao sighed, since the other party could notice that he had used [Earth Vein Qi] and [Tai Shang Miao Technique] repeatedly to push him.
Zhan, I didn’t use any cover-up today. With that person’s methods, how could it be that I wouldn’t be coming to visit him?
"This is because you don't want to see me..."
"Daoist masters are always like this, unwilling to get things done."
"The wind is gentle and the clouds are calm, so you can retreat by yourself."
Lord Lingmiao sighed in his heart. Just when he was shaking his head, he suddenly saw one of the three urchins, holding a branch in his hand. He looked familiar. He paused for a moment, and after recognizing it again, he recalled that the boy was in the smoke yesterday.
He turned around and struck a sword. It was said to be a sword, but in fact it was just a branch. He paused for a moment, leaned over to identify it, looked at the child, and said with a gentle expression:
"My child, your branch is very good..."
When the child heard someone praising his 'sword', his eyes suddenly lit up and he said:
"Ah? Old uncle, do you think so too?"
Duke Lingmiao laughed and said, "Yes... look at this branch. It's straight and smooth. It's such a good sword. Where did it come from?"
"Old uncle, I also want to have one."
The naughty boy said doubtfully: "This is very simple!"
"This is just a branch in the village. It can be found everywhere, really!"
He seemed to be afraid that the old man would think he was lying, so he emphasized:
"We saw with our own eyes that Taoist brother casually broke a branch from the tree."
"Then I waved casually."
"that's all."
The children imitated the movements of the young Taoist priests of that day.
Take the branch and backhand it.
!!!
Lingmiao Gong's expression changed slightly, and even the palms stroking his beard stopped:
"A randomly broken branch?! A casual wave?"
Such a description cannot be related to that day, when he noticed the supreme magic, and slashed back with a sword, following the earth's veins, slashing the fireworks and incense burners without any smoke and fire. The old man's expression did not change, and he felt deep in his heart.
As if there was a wave, he leaned forward slightly and said with a smile: "Old uncle, I'll give you some candy. Can you let me see this sword?"
The child said very generously: "No need for candy!"
He handed it over casually.
The old man took two steps back, bowed slightly, stretched out his hands and took the sword.
He is the land.
And the kind that can be called [public].
Therefore, we can clearly feel that this branch has indeed grown under the moisture of this piece of land. It only took a day to break off, and there is no sword energy attached to it. Lingmiao Gong was stunned for a long time.
, said: "Break off the branches casually, and use one sword to cut, one to withdraw, one to live, one to die. You can follow the earth's veins to cut the incense, but there is no sword energy or sword intention on the branches.
, and can also be given to children and naughty children to play with.”
"It's the realm of lifting a weight with ease."
"What an incredible swordsman."
The child didn't understand these words, but asked curiously: "Old uncle, is the Taoist brother's swordsmanship very good?"
Lord Lingmiao was pleased and sincerely convinced, saying: "Extremely high."
The children looked at each other, and suddenly they all laughed and said, "Where is it?"
"Eldest brother clearly said that we asked him if he knew how to use a sword."
"He said it would only be a little bit!"
Lingmiao Gong's hand stroking his beard paused.
Looking at the branches again, I was speechless for a long time.
……………………
When Zhou Lingyi walked out slowly, he saw the children talking to an old man with a gentle temperament.
But the old man shook his head and turned to leave.
Zhou Lingyi was startled, and without caring about being rude, he called out: "Old sir, please stay!"
"Although Taoist Master Qi is not here, he will be back soon. If you don't mind, Mr. Qi, you can have a cup of tea and wait for a while."
But Lingmiao Gong shook his head and sighed: "No need."
"He didn't see me today."
"No matter how long I wait, he won't come back."
"You can just pick off a sword and follow the earth's veins to slash backwards. This kind of swordsmanship is said to be only a little bit."
Lingmiao Gong stroked a wooden box in his hand and sighed:
"A gift from the Taoist Master."
"The etiquette I prepared was too thin..."
He turned around and left.
Zhou Lingyi wanted to call him and hurriedly chased after him, but the old man's steps were not hasty and slow, but he was getting further and further away from him.
Zhou Lingyi chased out of the village gate and saw an entire team in front of a river.
In the front are eight soldiers riding horses, and the same is true in the back. In the middle is a sedan, and two strong men are holding banners. The banners are hanging down. The words on them are simple, and the team is solemn as a whole.
It was majestic and formal, and looked extremely solemn. After the old man sat in the sedan, the team turned around and walked into the mountains. The fog became thicker for some reason, and they gradually became invisible.
