In a private room on the top floor surrounded by barriers and formations, an old senior from the Eastern Continent’s spiritual practice community was reminiscing about hardships and sweet memories.
Directly below this elegant room, next to a seat by the window, a tall and thin old man quietly appeared and sat calmly by the window.
This old Taoist figure seems to be outside the painting, but also seems to have no cultivation, and is perfectly compatible with the environment.
When he appeared, there were two maids leading more than a dozen immortals from the Wei Yuan Sect. The disciples passed by, but no one noticed that there was suddenly an extra person here.
The old Taoist slowly rolled up the wide sleeves of his Taoist robe and took out a small teacup in the flower basket, only the size of a grain of rice.
The teacup swelled up after it fell on the table, and a shallow water stain appeared on the bottom of the cup. In a moment, the clear spiritual spring water overflowed the bottom of the cup, starting from nothing, growing from small to large, all the way to the rim of the cup.
The old Taoist dipped his index finger into a little Rootless Spiritual Spring and drew a small circle on the corner of the table. The water rippled in the circle, slowly revealing the situation in the elegant room above.
The rough old man with snow-white beard, the beautiful nun wearing a veil, the handsome young man sitting in the middle... In this small circle, every hair and hair is clearly visible.
The old Taoist was pleased with himself. He squinted at Xu Sheng's face, slightly pinched his fingers and calculated, searching for information about this human race immortal in his memory as vast as the sea of clouds.
Listen and see.
…
"well!"
The old immortal Xu Sheng said with emotion:
"To be able to achieve today's prosperous age, the human race has really paid too much and sacrificed too much.
"After hundreds of tribes were reduced to monster tribes, they are still obsessed with our human race. They are no longer able to shake the foundation of our human race, but they still continue to harass the borders of Dongzhou."
Li Ping'an smiled and said: "According to what the senior said, the weapon refining techniques of our human Qi Refiners were able to advance by leaps and bounds back then. It was all because of this senior Yun Zhongzi who had been preaching to the Human Qi Refiners for three hundred years?"
"That's right. At that time, the three Fortune Golden Immortals from Yuxu Palace and the disciples of the Twelve Leaders came to our human clan together. The most famous one among them was Guangchengzi, who assisted and taught the Human Emperor Xuanyuan clan."
The old immortal Xu Sheng continued:
"Teacher Yun Zhongzi specializes in refining weapons.
"He preached for three years at a time, a total of eighty-one times, spanning more than three hundred years. He taught thousands of weapon-refining techniques and hundreds of soul-forging techniques, which gave us enlightenment.
"After that, we learned what a spiritual weapon is, and the most precious thing about a spiritual weapon is that its spirituality allows the vessel itself to gradually grow.
"Teacher Yun Zhongzi is an innate being with profound blessings. He is also the most powerful immortal in this world who can forge weapons!"
Li Ping'an had a little more admiration in his eyes, but more doubts arose in his heart.
Cloud neutrons.
This was the first time he heard about the immortals taught by Yuxu Palace from the mouths of Dongzhou Qi Refiners.
——Previously, he had only seen some vague words in ancient books.
It's not that the Immortal Chanjiao is too low-key, but on weekdays, few people dare to discuss these great powers, and most of the records in the Wanyun Sect's classics are vague.
Li Ping'an took advantage of the situation and asked his biggest doubt: "Senior, this junior has read a lot of news books inside the door, and is still a little confused. Why is Nanzhou sealed with a large formation?"
All the Wanyun Sect disciples present pricked up their ears.
Immortal Xu is of high seniority and has also experienced the glorious years of human race expansion.
"This, Pindao really can't explain clearly at the moment."
The old immortal Xu Sheng pondered for a few times, thought carefully for a while, and said slowly:
"This involves the secrets of our human race and the reputation of our Holy Mother. There are many rumors and it is difficult to distinguish the true from the false.
"I have personally experienced and heard some things... The great formation covering Nanzhou was set up by the Holy Mother, and the Holy Mother's Palace suppressed it directly above Nanzhou.
"It is rumored that there were some differences between the Holy Mother and the three Taoist ancestors."
"Disagreement?"
Li Pingan was in high spirits and his eyes were full of light.
Gossip from a leader-level expert!
The old immortal Xu Sheng laughed and scolded: "If you haven't obtained the fruit of immortality, you will be nothing more than an ant in the world. It's not too late to care about such a major event in the world when you ask about immortality or reach the realm of immortals!"
"Junior is just a little confused."
Li Pingan smiled and said:
"Ancient books say that the cultivation of living beings is just to imitate the movement of heaven and earth.
"So this junior is thinking that if he can learn more about this world, there will be fewer bottlenecks tomorrow."
"Hahaha! Just stop asking! There are some things that cannot be said. You cannot say them. If you say them, it will not be of any benefit to your practice."
Xu Sheng patted Li Ping'an on the shoulder, picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp, smiling:
"Let's talk about this branch of Zhuyun Hall again!
"How about I take you back to Wanyun Sect later and talk to your father about this matter?
"My few incompetent disciples stand on the top of the mountain and look in the direction of Wanyun Sect every day, hoping and hoping that they are all going crazy!"
Li Ping'an hurriedly said: "I don't dare to bother the senior. After the junior returns to the mountain, he will definitely tell his father about this matter!"
Elder Yan Sheng on the side spoke out to relieve the situation: "Senior, don't worry, I, the outer sect of Wan Yun Sect, will also discuss this matter carefully and strive to go to Wei Yuan Sect and his party as soon as possible."
"Okay, okay, then I won't mention it."
Xu Sheng waved his hand, looked outside the elegant room, and said with a smile:
"Before I come over, let them call a few disciples over to chat with you young disciples and discuss the Tao. You don't need to think too much. I just want to get the young disciples of the two sects closer to each other.
"Peace, should I let them in now?"
Li Ping'an hurriedly said: "Senior, don't try to hurt me anymore, you can just arrange it as you like."
The formation barrier of Yajian fell, and several immortals and disciples came in from the door. They went forward to salute Xu Sheng first, and then greeted everyone from the Wan Yun Sect.
The private room became lively again, and the table became crowded.
The immortals from Weiyuan Sect are all elders from the outer sect, and have deep friendships with Elder Yan Sheng and others;
However, these three disciples sent by the Weiyuan Sect made Li Ping'an... and Mu Ningning beside him become wary.
Without him, the ones sent by the Weiyuan Sect are all female disciples, each of them has the appearance of a fish sinking into a wild goose, and the posture of a woman shying away from the moon. They are all immortal seedlings with outstanding qualifications, and their cultivation is in the realm of refining the virtual and uniting the true.
These three female disciples were either generous and well-behaved, or they were like jade from a small family and were reluctant to talk, or they were eccentric and intelligent.
Mu Ningning had no choice but to hold her head high and serve her senior brother with food and wine with a smile.
Li Pingan and senior Xu Sheng chatted for a while about the art of weapon refining, then turned around and saw the pile of delicacies one foot high, and frowned at the junior sister next to him.
Mu Ningning, who had taken off her veil, looked up at the ceiling with an expression that said, "It's none of my business."
Li Ping'an ate a few big mouthfuls of food and continued to chat with his seniors about weapon refining to enhance his understanding of weapon refining.
The atmosphere during the dinner was pleasant and harmonious.
Yu Yingshu's personality is a bit dull, and at the moment he just eats and drinks;
Gu Qingcheng showed off his social talent as a swordsman from the Wan Yun Sect. He chatted and joked with several senior sisters from the Wei Yuan Sect, making witty remarks and laughing constantly.
Unknown to the immortal disciples of the two sects, there was an old Taoist downstairs who was listening and watching.
The old Taoist saw that there was no fun in this place, so he already wanted to leave.
Although the words of this human immortal who boasted that he was his ‘named disciple’ were exaggerated, they could still be regarded as facts.
"Pindao did preach to human weapon refiners for three hundred years at that time."
The old Taoist smiled and shook his head, drank the spiritual spring in the cup, and immediately disappeared and returned to the cave.
Suddenly I heard several immortals nearby whispering, saying:
"Senior Xu Sheng and Li Pingan of Wanyun Sect are here. They are in the private room on the top floor, and they seem to be talking about weapon refining."
"Item refining? Eighty percent of it is related to Wan Yun Sect's large and cheap magic weapon."
"When they were talking about these things, they all asked the maid here to come out... Uncle Master has an order to let our disciples have a discussion with those Wan Yun Sect disciples, especially Li Ping'an. I think it is to make Wan Yun fall.
Zong’s face.”
"These four disciples of the Wan Yun Sect stole the show at the training conference, huh!"
"However, are we bullying them too much by doing this? The ones we brought here are all the seedlings from the front row of the Inner Sect Lecture Hall, and they are already in the Heaven and Earth Bridge realm, and are not far away from becoming immortals."
"These disciples of the Wan Yun Sect were just lucky at that time. They had the special magic weapon awarded by the Wan Yun Sect and used a lot of poison... The fish and shrimps in the sea area for hundreds of miles are still in coma.
"
"Decent members of the Immortal Sect cannot use force against each other, otherwise it will end with words!"
"Send a few people to quietly clean out the top floor, put away the screens in each room, make it brighter, and then invite some good casual cultivators."
"I must make the four of them look good today!"
The immortals who heard the news went their separate ways.
The old Taoist sitting by the window hummed slightly, and seemed to be having fun behind the scenes...
have a look.
The old Taoist took out two small bowls and plates from the flower basket beside him and placed them in front of him. The plates then expanded, and fried melon seeds popped out from the bottom.
The old man wiped off the circle he just made, dipped his fingertips in water, and drew a larger circle, taking in a panoramic view of the entire top-level layout.
"Just to see if the young people nowadays are diligent in enlightenment."
…
In the private room upstairs.
As soon as there was movement outside, Elder Yan Sheng and Immortal Xu noticed something unusual.
Xu Sheng glanced at the Immortal Wei Yuanzong beside him. The Immortal immediately got up and went to guard the formation outside Yajian.
Elder Yan Sheng spoke to the four disciples of Wan Yun Sect:
"Guanhaimen has come for us. Don't worry. They don't dare to take action. We have two immortals from Wanyun Sect waiting outside the city. They can come in at any time."
What was originally a relaxed and enjoyable dinner party immediately turned into a solemn atmosphere.
Immortal Wei Yuanzong quickly sent a message to Xu Sheng to report.
Xu Sheng smiled and said: "Ping'an, several elders from the outer sect came to Guanhaimen, bringing with them several disciples from the Heaven and Earth Bridge Realm. They said they wanted to come to the disciples of Wanyun Sect to discuss the Tao... What do you think?"
Li Ping'an didn't know why: "On Tao?"
"Discussing the Tao is a literary battle," a female disciple of the Weiyuan Sect explained. "If it is a discussion that pays attention to points, several disciples will sit across from each other, and one person will ask questions and the other will answer them."
Li Pingan nodded slowly.
How could he not know what discussing Taoism was, and was just surprised by the stinginess of the Guanhaimen immortals?
Xu Sheng sighed with a smile: "It should be that the six disciples of the six sects were not satisfied with the championship this time. They found a few powerful disciples to come back and earn some face."
Gu Qingcheng couldn't hide the matter in his heart and snorted coldly: "Is Guanhaimen so unworthy of losing?"
Elder Yan Sheng's expression was a little ugly, and he hummed: "Ping An, let's go talk about them!"
Li Ping'an's hand shook and he almost kowtowed to the elder.
That is a quasi-immortal in the Heaven and Earth Bridge Realm. He is a disciple of the Void Refining Realm. What are you talking about!
The old immortal Xu Sheng on the side wondered: "What is peace and good deeds?"
"Not good, not good," Li Ping'an said hurriedly, "Disciples usually just practice weapon refining and only occasionally discuss the Tao with the master."
Elder Yan Sheng also said: "I am really pissed off by them. It is true that Ping An has never discussed Taoism in front of others."
Mu Ningning slapped the table and stood up: "Elder, I'll discuss it with them!"
"Why!"
Li Pingan quickly pulled Mu Ningning to sit down:
"Junior sister, your Taoism is shallow and weak. When you talk about Taoism, you use sophistry. It is very easy to damage Taoism."
Immortal Xu smiled and said, "How about I lose my temper and scold them all away."
"How can I help you, senior?"
Elder Yan Sheng said hurriedly:
"They came looking for my Wan Yun Sect. If word of this spreads out, the immortals in Dongzhou will laugh at my Wan Yun Sect's incompetence."
Several Wanyun Sect immortals are worried:
"How about we leave now?"
"If we just leave like this now, wouldn't it be ridiculous?"
Gu Qingcheng pursed her lips and clenched her fists, stood up and bowed to Elder Yan Sheng: "Disciple is willing to discuss with them the method of cultivation and the way to become an immortal!"
The immortals of Wanyun Sect chanted softly.
Gu Qingcheng is the one with the highest level of cultivation among the four disciples present. If he wants to take over today's Tao discussion, he is naturally the most suitable.
But there is a big difference between the realm of Heaven and Earth Bridge and the realm of He Zhen...
"That's fine."
Elder Yan Sheng thought for a moment and said slowly:
"They Guanhaimen are provoking one after another, and I, the Wanyun Sect, will definitely have a good talk with them later.
"The four of you don't have any burdens today. Just think of it as going out to see the world and gain some knowledge. Later, if they want to talk about Tao, they can just talk about Tao. Don't worry about winning or losing.
"The immortals of Guanhai Sect are actually somewhat different from the immortals of other sects. It is probably related to the atmosphere within their sect. They all like to be competitive."
Li Ping'an nodded with a smile. Seeing that the elder had made a decision, he didn't need to say anything.
He quietly took out a jade talisman, wrote a few words inside, and handed it to Gu Qingcheng.
Gu Qingcheng took the jade talisman and looked at it, frowning slightly.
Written inside are several monastic questions and their answers.
Gu Qingcheng naturally knew that Brother Ping'an was very hidden and unpredictable, but he really didn't expect...
He couldn't understand the answer at all!
Brother Ping An, do you have a simple question? If the other person answers it, he might not be able to understand it!?
At this moment, I suddenly heard several clear voices from outside the screen:
"Guanhaimen disciple, Dugumei!"
"Guanhaimen disciple, Murong You!"
"Guanhaimen disciple, Ximen Dui!"
"Guanhaimen disciple, Dongfang Xiang!"
The four people said in unison: "I have long admired Wan Yun Sect's skill of controlling clouds and Wan Yun's way. I heard that Wan Yun Sect's immortal disciples are here, so I take the liberty of disturbing you today. I would like to discuss the Tao with Wan Yun Sect's immortals!"
coming.
Xu Sheng pressed Li Ping'an's arm and said in a voice: "Ping'an, if you are disgusted with this matter, I will send them away for you."
Li Ping'an felt a little helpless in his heart.
He knew that the old immortal next to him just wanted to take the opportunity to sell a favor to his father.
Li Ping'an really doesn't understand what the people in Guanhai Sect are thinking. It's like they are sick and insist on winning and winning.
Shouldn’t cultivating immortals be peaceful and pure? Shouldn’t it be about who can live forever in the end?
The Donghai experience was originally a battle of spirits, and he was obsessed with a big demon bull demon for nothing, and now he is engaging in this kind of argument and literary battle!
However, these were just a few words from Li Ping'an's heart. He remained calm on the surface and quickly calmed down his mind, with some thoughts flashing in his eyes.
Gu Qingcheng had already stood up and shouted: "Elder, Brother Ping'an, I'll go meet them for a while!"
Elder Yan Sheng said: "Ping An and Ning Ning stay, you two go."
Yu Yingshu took the order and stood up.
The three female disciples of Wei Yuanzong also said: "Let's go and give Senior Brother Gu a strong reputation!"
Gu Qingcheng held her head high, surrounded herself with sword energy, took Yu Yingshu and the three junior sisters of Weiyuan Sect, and stepped out of the boundary of Yajian.
As soon as he went out, Gu Qingcheng's legs felt a little weak.
The screens everywhere were removed at some point, and the entire top floor became transparent from front to back, with semi-permeable wooden walls on all sides. Hundreds of local monks came to watch the excitement floating outside.
In the center of the top floor, four Guanhaimen disciples wearing orange robes lined up, bowed to Gu Qingcheng at the same time, and sat down cross-legged in a neat manner. The three of them closed their eyes and concentrated, and one of them raised his hand in greeting.
"Fellow Taoist, please take a seat!"
Gu Qingcheng made a move with his sword, hid the jade talisman given by Senior Brother Ping An in his sleeve, and stepped forward.
As soon as I saw the Haimen disciple, he suddenly opened his eyes: "My fellow Taoist didn't respond, why did you come to sit down?"
Gu Qingcheng frowned and said, "Sit down first and answer later, why not?"
The disciple said: "Heaven has its own order, Tao has its own order, and there is no distinction between order and order. How can we achieve immortality?"
"I!"
Hard.
Gu Qingcheng and Yu Yingshu's fists were hardened.
Both of them like to fight with each other, and now they really want to change the literary fight into a physical fight.
Gu Qingcheng was originally prepared to ask them a few mysterious questions directly and stump them according to the teachings of Senior Brother Ping An Yufu, but he didn't expect that he would be robbed of the opportunity...
Gu Qingcheng said: "How can there be a distinction between Tao and Tao?"
Dugu Mei said: "My fellow Taoists are wrong. There is no high or low Tao, because all three thousand avenues can lead to the gods. There is a sequence of Tao, because there is the universe first, and then all the Tao will appear. Furthermore, there is a sequence of enlightenment, and only then can there be a teacher.
As a disciple, Taoist friends ask this question, how can we understand the saying that 'the Tao adheres to the heart'?"
Gu Qingcheng kept thinking and stood there thinking.
Don't talk nonsense when discussing Taoism. With so many people around you listening, the key is whether you can convince them all.
Gu Qingcheng suddenly felt a sense of suffocation with no power to use, and even felt slightly depressed in her heart.
If this continues, I'm afraid it will damage the Taoist heart...
Upon seeing this, a female disciple of the Weiyuan Sect was about to open her mouth to help Gu Qingcheng when a chuckle suddenly came from behind.
"The Tao is in the heart, but it is nothing more than false words. The Tao travels in heaven and earth, and has been born for a long time before the Taoist friends. Whether it exists in one's own heart, what does it have to do with the Tao?"
Gu Qingcheng, Yu Yingshu, and the three female disciples turned around at the same time.
Li Ping'an carried a pot of fairy wine and a wine glass, turned around the screen, and stepped forward.
It should be on the shelves on the 22nd! The number of words is growing too fast! If you have a monthly ticket, please leave it. If I can add more by then, everyone will give me a monthly ticket to encourage me~
