In the west chamber, Su Yun lit a bonfire, took off his clothes, washed his body with snow, washed away the blood on his body, and treated the wounds on his back before putting on his clothes.
"My clothes are stained with blood again."
The young man frowned and looked at the blood stains on his clothes under the firelight: "I have to buy new clothes again. If I wear bloody clothes into the city, will I be regarded as a monster by the people in the city?"
He has been trying hard to look like a normal boy, not like a boy who came from the uninhabited land of Tianshiyuan.
Su Yun dressed up and went to clean up the corpse of the ape demon from the main hall of the temple. Then he returned to the bonfire and thought to himself: "We can't look for Brother Hua and the others at night. We have to wait until dawn."
He was really sleepy and fell asleep by the campfire without realizing it.
After an unknown amount of time, Su Yun woke up and saw that the bonfire was almost extinguished. He was about to add more firewood when a conversation came from outside: "...As a scholar of Tiandaoyuan, you actually wanted to leave in this time of crisis.
, I want to study abroad! What good is the knowledge of Westerners? The Westerners came over, ceded my Yuanshuo territory, captured my people, and demanded compensation from the court, but you still want to go to the West! You are a scholar of Tiandaoyuan."
Another voice sounded: "Brother, can't you see? The era of the Old Saints has passed! On the other side of the ocean, those barbarians we thought were already more powerful than our Yuan Shuo! I must go abroad and learn from them
Ability!"
Su Yun was slightly startled: "This voice..."
"Study abroad to study them and learn Western knowledge? You are a Confucian student, do you want to betray Confucianism and betray your ancestors?"
"I use Western learning to apply it, but I am still Confucian in nature. Brother Xue, come with me to study abroad. Use Western learning as a body and apply Western learning to save this country and save the building from collapse!"
"Only by staying here can we save this country. Only by keeping the old sage's secret knowledge can we save the nation. Only by retaining Yuan Shuo's spirit can we save this country! Otherwise, the backbone of the nation will be gone! Qiu Shuijing! Stop!
"
Su Yun stood up and looked out the window. In the temple courtyard under the moonlight stood two handsome young men. Their bodies were formed by the gathering of light points of the moon.
One of them looks vaguely like Qiu Shuijing when he was young, and the other has thick eyebrows and big eyes, making him taller and stronger than Qiu Shuijing.
Both of them are very impressive.
Su Yun was slightly startled: "Spiritual obsession?"
This sight, sound, and the two heroic young men in the courtyard should all be the spiritual obsession enshrined in this temple.
In the moonlight tonight, this spiritual obsession broke out and transformed into the boy he was.
The other person he was talking to was Qiu Shuijing when he was a boy.
"Mr. Shui Jing was a scholar of Tiandaoyuan when he was young?"
Su Yun looked at the two teenagers in the courtyard, who were still arguing about whether to study abroad, and thought to himself: "The owner of this temple is also from Tiandaoyuan. Mr. Shui Jing wants to study abroad to learn knowledge from other countries, and
The owner of the temple feels that the old sage’s secret knowledge should be preserved. Did they have a conflict because of this?”
The obsession with spirituality is slowly disintegrating.
"Brother Xue, I will go to the other side of the ocean to study. I will wait a few decades and see whether you and I are right or wrong." Mr. Shui Jing's voice came.
The spiritual obsession dissipated, and the figures of the two teenagers in the yard disappeared with the specks of moonlight.
Su Yun pushed open the door and came to the courtyard, lost in thought: "Is this conversation really so important that the temple owner still remembers it after his death?"
Although he was familiar with the Old Holy Scriptures, at this moment he could not tell whether Mr. Shui Jing or the temple owner was right or wrong.
"The owner of the temple should also be a respectable person, right? Like Mr. Shui Jing, he wants to save the country."
Su Yun moved around, brought some snow, cleaned the floor of the hall, and washed away the blood stains.
He had a bloody battle with a group of ape demons from Yuanjialing here last night and soiled the ground. He felt that leaving stains was disrespectful to the owner of the temple.
After Su Yun finished all this, he was sweating and sat outside the temple door to rest.
"Little blind man, do you know the ghosts and gods in the temple?" came a voice.
Su Yun followed the sound and saw a large mansion next to the temple. There was a pair of stone lions in front of the mansion, and a lean old man sitting on the stone steps, smiling and waving to Su Yun.
Su Yun was surprised. When he came to this temple, he didn't see such a big house near the temple!
"Senior, do you recognize me?" Su Yun asked curiously.
The lean old man smiled and said: "We set up a stall together in Tianshi. I was on the right side of the street, No. 97, and you were on the left side of the street, No. 92. Of course I recognize you. We are stall mates and neighbors.
Several years!”
What he said was referring to the alleyway of the ghost market. Su Yun's stall was at the 92nd alleyway entrance from Jintianmen.
Su Yun regained his energy and ran over quickly.
"This neighbor moved here two months ago."
The lean old man chuckled and said: "A friend of mine built this house for him. That friend's name is Qiu Shuijing. He has been to Tianshi and followed you. He chatted with me for a while when he came here that day. He said, this
The person in the house is a big shot in the Eastern Capital and an old friend of his. He came back this time to pay his respects to this big shot."
Su Yun was surprised and said, "Did Mr. Shui Jing build this temple?"
The building class nodded: "Find some monsters to build it, and he paid for it. Your teacher is amazing, a man of great talent, and his abilities are unfathomable. You haven't been to Tianshi for a few months, what happened?
"
Su Yundao: "My eye disease has been cured, so I didn't go there again."
Lou Ban looked at him and asked: "Are you planning to go to the city?"
Su Yun nodded: "Go to Shuofang to study. Mr. Shui Jing said that the knowledge of the old sages is out of date, and you must go to the city to study new things."
Lou Ban said leisurely: "Some of the knowledge of the old saints is outdated, while some are timeless and unbreakable. Do you know why?"
Su Yun shook his head.
He has learned a lot of old holy classics from Mr. Yehu. At present, it seems that he can only understand the techniques of Honglu Transformation and Qi-Youring Chapter and Immortal Ape Yangqi Chapter, which are relatively fast, and there is nothing special about them.
"I also studied abroad."
Lou Ban smiled and said: "Westerners are indeed better than us in learning methods and applying what they learn. But there is one place where they are inferior to us, and this place is exactly what the Old Saints are good at."
Su Yun's heart moved slightly, and he bowed and said, "Senior, please give me some advice."
Lou Ban stood up, stretched out and said, "Westerners ask questions about gods, while old sages ask questions about people."
Su Yun immediately understood what he meant.
Asking Zhuyushen means asking Gods about everything. If you are still unsure about everything, then ask the gods for advice and guidance on human affairs.
Asking people means asking people about things. People guide human affairs. There is no so-called God intervening in the human world.
This is exactly what the Old Saint advocated: ask the common people not the ghosts and gods, respect the ghosts and gods and keep them at a distance.
"The knowledge of the old saints is of little use, and it is more about guiding you to practice and sharpen your mind. Westerners have made up for this, so Westerners have become stronger."
Lou Ban said: "Yuan Shuo is currently weak, but as long as he learns the methods of the Westerners, applies what he has learned, overcomes the shortcomings of the old saints, turns the old saints' knowledge into new knowledge, and defeats the Westerners, I think it is feasible. Qiu Shuijing and I
They are all new learners."
Su Yun suddenly became excited: "Senior, are you a new saint?"
"Since the beginning of learning, there have been no saints."
Lou Ban shook his head and said: "At the very least, I haven't died yet. Little blind man, if you go to the city to study, I have to entrust you with something."
He turned around and walked into his mansion, took out a small wooden box, which was square and square, put it in Su Yun's hand, and said: "When I died, my subordinates were confused and buried this key with me. You can take it with me."
This key can accomplish one thing for me."
Su Yun weighed the wooden box and felt it was heavy, as if it were solid. He asked, "What do you want me to accomplish, senior?"
Lou Ban smiled and said: "This is a simple matter. You go to Shuofang City. If you are free, take the key to the city and help me see if the things I hid there during my lifetime are still there. After completing this matter, my key
It will be yours."
Su Yun understood that this was the rule of Tianmen Ghost Market. Of course, in his mind, it was not a ghost market, but Tianmen Night Market, also known as Tianshi.
The rules of Tianshi are very simple, that is, take things from others and fulfill their wishes!
If the wish cannot be fulfilled within the time limit, the "treasure owner" will recover the treasure!
Su Yun was also one of the treasure sellers in Tianshi at the beginning. Of course, his treasures were not real treasures, but just burial objects for himself. However, Lou Ban and other ghosts and gods came up with real spiritual weapons, and they were definitely the most powerful ones.
A good spiritual weapon!
Su Yun put away the wooden box and bowed: "Senior, don't worry, Yun, you will live up to your trust!"
Lou Ban said with a smile: "It's not a big request. I just saw Qiu Shuijing admiring you, so I followed him to admire you and thought you could do it. Okay, okay, it's daybreak soon, and your work will be faster."
You’re here, it’s time to go.”
"My job is coming soon?" Su Yun was puzzled.
Lou Ban pursed his lips, and Su Yun looked back and saw the trees in the forest swaying, snow flying, and trees falling over with a loud crunch.
"The Third Patriarch of the Ape!"
Su Yun was shocked, and hurriedly took the baggage, bowed to Lou Ban, then twisted the end of the fairy rope, and the fairy rope stretched straight up into the sky!
He had just grabbed the immortal rope and was taken into the air when he heard Lou Ban's voice: "Little blind man, you are also a spiritual warrior, so you may not be weaker than him, so why should you be afraid of him?"
"Am I a spiritual warrior?"
Su Yun was stunned. He had just reached the sixth level of foundation building. When did he become a spiritual warrior?
He couldn't think too much. In the forest below, the Third Patriarch of the Apes was covered in blood. Carrying a thick iron stick as thick as an arm on his side, he rushed out of the forest with a roar and grabbed the immortal!
Su Yun climbed up quickly and pulled the rope suddenly. The Third Patriarch of the Ape jumped up, reached out and caught the air, and had to fall to the ground!
The white-haired tyrant ape stood up in the snow, with shocking wounds everywhere on his body. It was obvious that he had suffered heavy injuries in the battle with the giant ghost.
Patriarch Yuan San looked gloomy and looked up, only to see Su Yun climbing on the rope and using his hands and feet to get into the night sky.
"Kill so many of my descendants from Yuanjialing, you will definitely not be able to walk out of Tianshiyuan alive!"
The Third Patriarch of Ape beat his chest with both hands and roared to the sky. On the snow beside him, in front of the newly built temple, were dozens of corpses of ape monsters. They were all the masters of Yuanjialing who were killed by Su Yun in the temple!
