Xu Yinglian didn't look at him, just stared at the ground calmly.
Qiu Changtian looked at her in surprise.
After a while, he suddenly smiled and said:
"The moon in the sky or the moon in the water, which one is true and which one is false?"
Xu Yinglian, who was nervous, immediately started thinking quickly.
The moon in the sky is naturally real, but hard to touch;
The moon in the water is within reach, but it is ultimately an illusion.
So what the senior brother means is to ask me whether I want to hear "nice lies" (represented by the moon in the water) or "unknown truth" (represented by the moon in the sky).
It's a nice lie, of course he likes me...but what's the point of such a lie?
"The moon in the water is very close, but it breaks when touched, so why should we miss it?" Xu Yinglian said without hesitation, "Even if it is out of reach, I still want to see the moon through the clouds and get a glimpse of my true heart."
Qiu Changtian blinked and then laughed:
"Junior sister, what are you talking about?"
Did I understand it wrong... Xu Yinglian frowned slightly and began to think again.
If the moon in the water and the moon in the sky do not refer to lies and truth respectively, then what do they refer to?
"Well, let's just come here today." Qiu Changtian said leisurely, "I will continue to teach you Taoism tomorrow."
"Okay." Xu Yinglian nodded slightly.
With her competitive spirit, of course she would not admit defeat directly and directly ask Qiu Changtian for the answer.
She wanted to go back to the cave and think about it carefully.
Qiu Changtian raised his sword light again, and on the way to the Sutra Pavilion, he heard Kunlun Mirror curiously ask:
"What do you mean by the moon in the water and the moon in the sky?"
"It's not interesting." Qiu Changtian was silent for a moment and said, "It's just a random thing to distract her attention."
Kunlun Mirror:………………
Can you even make things right in such a situation?
It wanted to use one word to describe this guy, but it couldn't think of what that word was.
"Then when she reacts, she will continue to ask after all." Kunlun Mirror reminded him.
"How did she react?" Qiu Changtian said with a sneer, "My answer lies in this riddle."
"If you can't solve the riddle, it's like losing to me intellectually. Do you think she will admit defeat and ask me what the riddle means?"
"Wow." Kunlun Jing still couldn't figure out what that word was, so he could only use an emotionless modal word to express his complicated feelings.
"Next is Taoism." Qiu Changtian said confidently, "The reason why Junior Sister Xu has inner demons is because she lost to me in terms of power compared to Taoism."
"However, what Dao method can be compared with the thunder method? The training of the thunder method is extremely difficult and the risk is high. If the power could be compared, the thunder cultivator would have been extinct long ago."
"Besides, the thunder method outputs damage instantly, but the great light fire deals continuous damage. If she wants to compete with me in instant output, is she out of her mind?"
"I think she picked the wrong opponent. I need to find some novices to torture her to regain her confidence."
"She did pick the wrong opponent." Kunlun Jing thought to himself.
How did Xu Yinglian's inner demons arise in the first place? Do you, a wicked person, really have no clue in your heart?
Wait, if we really want to talk about the root cause, it was me who first selected him as the savior, and then made him harm Junior Sister Xu.
The villain is myself?
Kunlun Mirror fell into a confused state of self-doubt.
………………
In the next few days, Qiu Changtian sacrificed a lot of time, taking Xu Yinglian around to visit and compete with the direct disciples of various elders.
"Senior Brother Liu, I heard that you have recently practiced the 'Scorching Sun and Binghuo Divine Art', and I came here to ask for advice." Qiu Changtian said with a smile.
Senior Brother Liu asked in confusion:
"I am the Huafu level, and you are the Marrow-washing level. Are you sure you want to ask me for advice?"
"Yes." Xu Yinglian said seriously.
After a while, after competing in Taoist techniques near Congling, Senior Brother Liu's expression was dull.
The Great Light Fire released by Xu Yinglian was actually comparable to his Burning Sun Bing Fire in terms of killing range, but its power was even greater.
The burned rock on his side and the obvious fragments of soil on Xu Yinglian's side were almost melted and solidified into glass.
Is this...Junior Sister Xu really the marrow-cleansing level?
A marrow-cleansing monk whose true energy has failed to refine his pure essence, how could his Taoism have such terrifying power!
Are the 280th generation disciples all monsters?!!
Xu Yinglian calmly withdrew the Taoist formula, as if defeating Senior Brother Liu of the Huafu level in the Taoist competition was not a surprise.
Qiu Changtian smiled and said:
"Senior Brother Liu's Burning Sun Binghuo is really fierce and fierce. Junior Brother was watching just now, but he has a few questions to ask..."
He asked the questions one by one, which were all common basic questions in Taoist practice.
Senior Brother Liu patiently answered one by one. Qiu Changtian nodded slightly in thanks, then smiled and shared some of his experience in using thunder methods, asking Senior Brother Liu for guidance and correction.
After these exchanges, Senior Brother Liu no longer felt the embarrassment and embarrassment of losing to his juniors. He just secretly lamented Qiu Changtian's skillful social skills, which made people feel like a spring breeze. He was truly worthy of being the chief of his generation who was praised by his peers.
Xu Yinglian stood nearby, seemingly listening to the conversation between the two, but in fact, he was both horrified and happy in his heart.
What makes me happy is that I actually defeated Senior Brother Liu who was at the Huafu level.
What's shocking is that I can win, but only with Qiu Changtian's guidance.
In just over ten words, it was like an enlightenment, allowing Xu Yinglian to make an almost qualitative leap in his understanding of the Great Light Fire.
However, what she couldn't understand was why Qiu Changtian had such a profound understanding of fire Taoism?
Isn't it the thunder method that he usually uses?
Of course, Qiu Changtian would not tell her that he had mastered the "Acquired Great Five Elements Extinguishing Divine Light", the ancestral magic of the Five Elements Taoism, so he could give Xu Yinglian unique skills in the use of the Great Light Fire.
Inspire and inspire.
Therefore, as Xu Yinglian was thinking secretly, Qiu Changtian, who was communicating with Senior Brother Liu, heard the Kunlun Mirror's continuous prompts:
[No enemies, synchronization value +1.]
[No enemies, synchronization value +1.]
[No enemies, synchronization value +1.]
…
Autumn Changtian:???
Wait, it was Junior Sister Xu who succeeded in showing off just now. Why did my synchronization value increase?
He was puzzled, and after saying goodbye to Senior Brother Liu, he took Junior Sister Xu back to Jinling Cave Mansion.
Having continuously defeated people he thought he could not defeat in swordsmanship and Taoism, Xu Yinglian's expression was completely normal at this time, and he returned to his original cold and reserved look.
There is no trace of depression left in the brows and eyes, and my heart is full of confidence.
Even if she can't defeat Senior Brother Qiu for the time being, she is already confident that she can defeat 99% of the foundation-building disciples of the Kunlun Taiqing Sect. Senior Brother is just the last general she needs to challenge.
All in all, I am very happy.
After sending Xu Yinglian back to the cave, Qiu Changtian was about to turn around when he was suddenly stopped by Xu Yinglian again:
"Senior brother."
"What's the matter?" Qiu Changtian turned around and asked.
"That..." Xu Yinglian hesitated to speak.
She really wanted to ask Qiu Changtian what the "moon in the sky" and "moon in the water" meant, but she didn't want to admit defeat to her senior brother that she couldn't solve his riddle.
"Ahem." Xu Yinglian finally coughed and said unnaturally, "Thank you for your hard work."
Qiu Changtian smiled slightly, and then said seriously:
"It's nothing, after all..."
"...How can my junior sister Qiu Changtian lag behind anyone except me?"
