An old man and a young man sat looking at each other. Qin Xuan was sipping the spiritual tea, slowly taking it into his hands.
"The veteran lost again!"
The old Taoist smiled gently and said slowly: "My little friend is decisive and aggressive in his moves. On the chessboard, it is as sharp as a sword's thunder. It is really rare."
Qin Xuan said softly: "It's not a defeat, you just have to be patient every step of the way!"
"You are taking the path of inaction and going with the flow. I am taking the path of immortality. I have to fight for myself along the way!"
"Neither you nor I can win or lose, let alone this game of chess."
The old Taoist shook his head slightly and said, "A defeat is a defeat. My little friend is extremely talented. The old Taoist will certainly defeat me with all my heart."
"I hope that for five thousand years in China, my little friend will be the first person in this way!"
"The bones are less than two hundred years old, the sword can cut through the stars, and the Mahayana can be killed as easily as the palm of the hand, the old way is not as good as that!"
"A few friends who have left their hometown are not as good as this."
The two were chatting and laughing, discussing chess over each other.
"However, little friend, playing chess is extremely dangerous. Even the old Taoist I see is a little scared!" The old Taoist looked at the chessboard quietly, "Although the Aoxue Sect is destroyed, the tens of billions of killings are still on my body.
If the disaster comes, it will probably be ten times or a hundred times harder than others."
"Since I play chess like this, I have no fear or worries." Qin Xuan smiled lightly and sipped the spiritual tea lightly, and the fragrance of the tea filled his mouth.
"The iceberg is so majestic, and there is also a place for hot springs." The old Taoist waved his sleeves slightly, and the chessboard slowly disappeared on the table.
"My son, I'm afraid this is the hot spring place now." Old Tao said softly: "This is my family matter, Old Tao, I shouldn't say much, but my son is very talented and kind-hearted, and he is like this,
I’m afraid it will be counterproductive.”
"How can a dragon be trapped in the wilderness, and a tiger be drowned in the mire?" Qin Xuan said lightly: "He is my son, Qin Xuan, so it is inevitable that he will be different from others."
"I don't expect him to understand what I do, nor do I expect him to be the same as me, but he must understand how to take his own path forward!"
"Instead of blaming me every time you encounter a setback."
Qin Xuan sighed softly, "It's difficult to not be a father if you don't know how to be a father. As an old saying goes, you are different from me!"
The old Taoist shook his head slightly, "How many people in the world can know the way forward? Even me, the old Taoist, the road ahead is still confused."
"How many people don't know right from wrong until the end of their lives, let alone the son of a little friend."
"So, I hope he can realize it as soon as possible, otherwise, I would rather he live a peaceful life." Qin Xuan lowered his eyebrows slightly, "I will not stay in this starry sky for too long. Within a thousand years, I will become an immortal!"
The faint words shocked the old Taoist's heart, and the hot tea in the cup rippled.
He quickly covered himself up and blew a bit of cool air on the tea.
"Wanzai, I will be supreme!" Qin Xuan spoke again, making the old man unable to cover up this time.
The old Taoist smiled bitterly and looked at Qin Xuan. This was the first time in his life that he heard such arrogance.
"But I'm worried that he may not be able to survive these ten thousand years!" Qin Xuan looked at the tea cup, reflecting his eyes, "Once I enter the immortal land, I cannot easily fall to the mortal world. During this period, even if the mortal world is destroyed
, I may not be able to see it at all.”
"Be it Hao'er or she, it's not that I, Qin Changqing, want to let him down, but the situation in the world of cultivation is changing rapidly. In a moment, it may be life or death." Qin Xuanruo said to himself, "For ten thousand years, for many people, maybe
It's just an inch of time, a blink of an eye, but I don't want them to take any risks."
The mountains seemed to have become peaceful.
Qin Xuan smiled, the tea was cold, but his eyes were still like water.
The old Taoist sighed quietly. He looked at the young man in white clothes, but seemed to see the endless tenderness under his white clothes.
"The road to immortality is long..." The old Taoist sighed softly, and finally
He shook his head and said no more.
…
Taiqing Sect, Qin Xuan stayed here for almost half a month.
Qin Hao was walking in the mountains and fields at a loss, with Yun Yu accompanying him.
Qin Yan'er is in retreat, and so are Daughter and Jin'er.
On the contrary, it is Qin Xuan who has been discussing with the old Taoist in this world.
Sometimes I play chess, and sometimes I walk among the mountains of Taiqing.
"metropolitan!"
Suddenly, a boy's voice caused the two of them to stop.
The old man's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he expected something, and he waved slightly.
"in trouble!?"
"It's just a little bit, don't worry, little friend!"
The old Taoist smiled and said, "For the rest, Old Taoist, I may not be able to accompany my little friend. In the Taiqing Sect, my little friend can come and go as he pleases and don't see anyone outside."
Qin Xuan glanced at the old man lightly and nodded lightly.
He walked with his hands behind his back, without hesitation, dressed in white, looking at the heaven, earth, mountains and fields, walking alone for a long time.
In the Taiqing Sect's main hall, the old Taoist appeared out of thin air.
He looked at the seven figures in the hall with long eyes.
He knew all five of them and had dealt with them for thousands of years.
As for the other two people, Taiqing's eyes changed slightly. He looked at the clothes of those two people.
"Fellow Taoist of Taixuan Holy Sect!?"
The old Taoist spoke slowly, "A distinguished guest is coming to our door, but he will be welcomed from afar!"
"Taiqing, you should know what we want!" Before Xiu Yan and the others could speak, the old man in gray clothes at the head said slowly: "Taiqing Sect, do you really not intend to retreat?"
The Taiqing Taoist sighed softly and motioned to the boy to pour tea.
"The Taiqing Sect has been based on this Supreme Star for thousands of years, but you fellow Taoists want to seize it. I, the old Taoist, just want to find a remote place to ask Wangxian. I hope that my disciples can spread this Taoist idea widely.
If we have the same Taoist tradition, why do you need to work so hard to force each other?"
"Taiqing, this star is supposed to be under my command, Taiyuan. You seize this star quietly. We have tolerated you for thousands of years. Now, you also know that the spiritual veins of this star have the second level of transformation.
If our Taiyuan Sect retreats further, how will it suffer heavy losses?"
"Don't think that you are on good terms with Buddha Douzhan and act arbitrarily. I, Taiyuan, do not dare to provoke you. Even if Buddha Douzhan comes in person, what will you do?" A middle-aged Supreme Master spoke slowly, his eyebrows raised.
There is a little starlight shining brightly in the middle, which is slightly menacing.
Xiu Yan's eyes wrinkled slightly, and Xiu Ming beside her looked as majestic as a scholar. He had a volume of ancient scripture in his hand and seemed to be studying it carefully.
The veteran's eyes also flashed with helplessness at this moment.
"Second-grade spiritual veins are what I, the old Taoist, have accumulated over thousands of years of preaching. Everyone, do you need me to elaborate on the details?" The old Taoist said softly: "To seize is to seize. I don't want to say too much, old Taoist.
I've never been used to fighting in my life, but I can't live without a place to stay."
"It's okay if I, the old Taoist, are all cumin, but if my disciples don't have a place to stay, I'm afraid the road to immortality will be difficult to see."
The five elders of Taiyuan Sect had their brows furrowed at this moment.
"Fellow Taoist Taiqing!" Xiu Yan suddenly spoke, and she said slowly: "If Taoist Taoist Taiqing agrees, our Taixuan Saint Sect can use a third-grade star as a place for Taiqing Sect to stay. Taoist Taoist, you can exchange it for it."
!?"
She looked at Taiqing Lao Dao: "Taiyuan Sect can be regarded as a second-level sect in Taixuan Star Realm. Although my fellow Taoist has a certain cultivation level, if it were not for the strong pressure of our Taixuan Saint Sect, Taiqing Sect would have been destroyed long ago."
"Now, how about we all take a step back?"
The old Taoist's face looked a little sad. He looked at Xiu Yan and became even more sad.
Immortal veins, even if he is too pure, he can't fight for them!
The five elders of Taiyuan looked at each other at this moment, with a smile in their eyes.
At this moment, a faint sound of footsteps sounded, attracting everyone's attention.
The Supreme Being of the Taiyuan Sect with the starry eyebrows turned his head slightly and snorted coldly, "Taiqing Sect, this is too rude. How can anyone disturb us while we are discussing the matter?"
His eyes showed a hint of coldness as he looked at the man in white clothes at the door of the palace.
Suddenly, the scholar showed his energy, closed his book and raised his head.
Taoist Taiqing's expression changed slightly, and he stood up quickly, "Why are you here, little friend?"
Qin Xuan glanced at Taiqing Lao Dao lightly, "As you said, come and go as you please!"
