Chapter 222 Jianxiu's Lies and the Old Man
A white belly of fish lit up in the early morning, and the first sun shone on the walls of Luoshui City.
The three masters and disciples from the Dilong Sect stood under the city wall, and the girl Gu Ling stood on tiptoe and looked at the streets in the city, frowned slightly.
The young man Nan Yue said: "Senior Sister, I guess Lu Chen encountered something and delayed it. Let's go back to the sect first."
The girl stretched out her hand and shook the silver note spirit coins in her hand, frowned seriously, "But Lu Chen's silver is still here. If she doesn't return it to him, what should I do if I, the ancient spirit heroine, steals other people's silver notes in the future?"
Nan Yue wanted to say something but stopped. I really wanted to say that this was almost impossible. Senior sister, you should only go further and further along the Taoist gods in your life. How could you become a female hero inexplicably? But when you saw that Senior sister was really annoyed and entangled, she still held it back.
The old man could see Shichen and smiled and said, "Meeting is fate, separation is also fate. Since the will of heaven is like this, there is no need to force it. If you find an opportunity to exchange those silver bills in the future, you will be able to exchange them for them."
The old Taoist said openly, but he still felt a little regretful. Although this place is not too far from the Earth Dragon Sect, it is still a long way to go. If Lu Chen is traveling with him, safety will naturally be guaranteed.
This is not because the old man was worried too much. It is because the Blood Demon Sect has too many demons in secret. Such a major thing happened in Xiaoqiao Town. God knows whether they will suffer any unintentional disasters if they are involved in the future.
You should know that Zhao Zhun has been practicing Taoism for more than 80 years, but he is still only at the level of the five-story Taoism. It is estimated that it is a lifetime distance from those three realms of Ruyi.
Life is gradually fading, and Mao Zhun has already taken the world lightly. This time he accompanied his two beloved apprentices to the world, even if he was his last explanation to his life, he would probably close the mountain from now on and would never be born again, so naturally he would not hope that any other connection would appear.
The young man was obviously smart and saw through the old man's worries faster than his senior sister. He whispered: "Don't worry, master, this place is Zhongshenzhou at least, how could there be so many evil demons and heretics? And master, aren't there still a few magical talismans at the bottom of your box? If you really can't do it, you'll be lucky."
Zhao Zhun glared and cursed: "Boy, my teacher is really gone!"
Nan Yue curled her lips and said, "Master, you say it's gone every time, but you're throwing it out at critical moments."
The two seemed to want to say something, but they heard Gu Ling's surprise voice, "Hey! He's here, here!"
On the street, Lu Chen walked over from a distance, looked at the old man and asked, "Are you leaving?"
Zhao Zhun nodded and smiled, "It's time to return to the sect. I don't know when we will meet."
Lu Chen said, "I'll go with you, it's just the way."
The old man Zhao Zhun showed a look of gratitude in his eyes. He naturally knew what the other party meant and smiled and said, "That's thank you."
The boy and the girl looked at each other and saw the joy in their eyes.
Four people walked together on the official road of Zhongshu.
There was a long way to go.
Along the road, there is a straight rural path, with countless rice fields and houses spreading to the distance, endlessly visible.
The fireworks lingered and the sounds of chickens and dogs crowed, which was very peaceful.
Lu Chen was silent from beginning to end, just looking quietly ahead.
The girl was unbearable and looked around and said, "Master, didn't you say that your hometown is nearby? Haven't you arrived yet?"
Zhao Zhun stopped with a smile, pointed to the front and said, "It's already here."
Gu Ling and Nan Yue instantly turned their heads and then widened their eyes at the same time.
I saw a small chop of soil covered with a ragged thatched house composed of thatched and scattered formwork. It was crooked and abandoned for a long time. Not far away is a small step leading to a higher mountain.
The boy and the girl looked strange at the same time because this was really a bit shabby and stingy. Not to mention whether the master, who is worthy of being a master, could protect the title of Taoist, it would be a bit difficult to just talk about living in a person?
Zhao Zhun smiled and said, "Don't underestimate this house. At least it has been renovated several times, but I guess I think I will never come back, so I put it here."
Gu Ling wrapped her hands around her chest and said with an old look on her face: "Master, you are really. You must have forgotten your hometown after you have achieved success. You must have never come back in the past few years, right? In the end, others don't even care about your house, so no one can blame."
Chao Zhun smiled and explained patiently: "If you practice and embark on the path of cultivation, you have already become a divorce from the mortal world. Naturally, you cannot have too much involvement with the world. Think about it, a small mountain village deep in the mountains is nothing more than a water source, a woman's problem, and a living problem. If I do something specifically, they are fearless and act as a mighty blessing within a radius of hundreds of miles, then what do the other oppressed people think? If I die one day, the Taoist people in the other villages just happen to have a successful immortal master. Guess what he will do? Wouldn't it be that the original blessing of the descendants will instantly become a bad fate."
Gu Ling rolled his eyes and said, "Master, you are a bad person. If you don't do this, others will not do this."
The old man rubbed the girl's head and said earnestly: "Gu Ling, what others do is to do? If others do it really, then what I do, your master will do. Then there is reason and confidence, and it will be more reasonable."
Lu Chen looked at the tattered thatched house and nodded, "Master Taoism has good views. Taoism is integrated with purity and inaction. With these ideas, his cultivation should be higher."
Zhao Zhun turned his head and said in surprise: "Brother, I think I should go to those three realms to see the scenery in my life?"
"Um"
Lu Chen nodded slowly, added another sentence, and said, "You are just a little too poor in qualifications."
When the young and young girls heard this, they laughed.
Zhao Zhun's face looked wonderful, and finally sighed heavily and said, "This is really sad."
As the sun sets, a silk painting is formed in the sky, so everyone decides to stay here for one night.
Nanyue Guling went to the stream to catch a few fish, picked some wild vegetables, and then cooked vegetables by the thatched hut.
Many villagers saw this scene and looked at everyone with a little vigilant and unfamiliar face.
Zhao Zhun didn't know what he said in the past, but the vigilant expression on the faces of the villagers disappeared instantly, but instead she had a little enthusiasm.
The young man Nanyue personally cooked a small pot of fish soup. A few vegetables appeared on the noodles. In less than a while, a smell of meat spread.
"Master, I think my junior brother's cooking skills are great. If he doesn't have a good cultivation level in the future, he can also be a chef in the sect, which is guaranteed to be hungry!" Gu Ling tasted the fish meat and said with satisfaction.
Nan Yue smiled and was happy.
The old man looked at the two of them with a smile and said, "What happens in the future, you have to talk to your junior brother more. Don't be alone stupid, do you know?"
Gu Ling pursed and said, "Master, you are really nagging today."
Zhao Zhun smiled and said, "I guess people are old, so they will talk more naturally."
Lu Chen sat quietly aside, looked at the white soup at the bottom of the pot, picked a few chopsticks, and thought it was good, and then picked another green vegetable.
The sun finally landed behind the mountain completely, and a twilight ray of light hit the small mountain village and it almost dawned very quickly.
After several days of hard work, the young girl quickly fell asleep in the thatched hut.
Taoist Chao Zhun covered the quilt for the two of them, then slowly walked out and stood beside Lu Chen.
Both of them looked up at the sky at the same time.
Lu Chen finally spoke, "How long will it take?"
It is proved that Zhao Zhun has sensed his fate after suddenly changing his journey to his hometown. Otherwise, practitioners would never return home easily. This is also an unwritten rule in the world of practice.
If you practice for a lifetime, and finally return to dust and soil, you will naturally have to review your life.
The old man smiled calmly and said, "I have felt something in recent days, and it's not long before I can live a better life."
Lu Chen said: "Birth, old age, sickness and death are common things for people. It is a good thing for practitioners to know the end of their life span."
Zhao Zhun looked at the distant fields quietly, with warm eyes, a look of sighs and memories, and said softly: "I was born and raised here. I was taken back to the Dilong Sect by my master for two or three years. However, I didn't expect that in this blink of an eye, my parents died early, and my young playmate. The girl I once loved had already been buried."
The old man looked a little confused. He asked himself, and murmured: "I thought about it carefully before. I practiced for a lifetime and abandoned everything, but in the end I had nothing to gain. Is such a life worth it?"
After Lu Chen held his hands, he looked up at the sky and said calmly: "Under the sky, everything is ants, and countless human creatures try to break the sky with their power. No matter what the result is, what do you think of the scenes that have happened over the past thousands of years?"
The old man thought about it carefully, then laughed out loud, ending with four words, "There are magnificent!"
Lu Chen also smiled and nodded, "That's enough."
The old man seemed to have figured out something, and his tense figure relaxed slightly, and murmured: "Yes, that's enough."
Chao Zhun suddenly turned his head and asked with a smile: "Dare you ask me where is my teacher?"
Lu Chen said calmly: "Jiange."
The old man looked calm and nodded, showing such a natural expression, and sighed: "Sword Pavilion, the Holy Land of Xiaopingzhou, is indeed the sword cultivator there."
Lu Chen asked with a smile: "What?"
The old man thought about it seriously for the first time, and then said seriously: "Actually, I want to say that I have been practicing Taoism for so many years. Your sword cultivators are so fucking unreasonable! When I first learned Taoism, the master said that it is normal for a sword cultivator to be weak in the early stage, after all, the sword cultivator will definitely be faster than you! However, I finally reached the late stage of cultivation, and the master told me again that it is normal for a sword cultivator to be unable to fight in the late stage. Who said that the sword cultivator to be faster in the late stage?!"
Zhao Zhun suddenly glared and cursed, "Damn it! I have been deceived by the lies of Jian Cultivator all my life, but when I get old, I still can't beat it! How to play?"
When Lu Chen heard this, his mouth slightly raised, and then he couldn't help laughing loudly again, and the laughter spread throughout the field.
