In the afternoon of this day, Ji Ruochen stood on the top of Taichang Peak, facing the abyss, looking at the sky full of floating clouds like the sea, and his thoughts like the tide.

Just because he has already met Master Jingxiao.

When Ji Ruochen arrived at Taixuan Peak, Master Jingxiao had just had lunch and was drinking tea in the garden while playing chess with his wife Lan Yi. Seeing Ji Ruochen walking into the garden, Master Jingxiao immediately stood up and greeted with a smile: "It turns out it's...

Ruochen is here. Okay, as long as you are willing to come back. Come sit down and try your wife's tea, it is not that easy to drink!"

Master Jingxiao's black hair turned into auspicious snow. His skin that used to be as jade-like as a baby is now crisscrossed with ditches, and his tall and straight body has also turned into a rickety posture. Let alone the true energy and aura, the current Master Jingxiao is afraid

He is a bit weaker than ordinary mortals. Only in his calm and indifferent demeanor can we vaguely see some of his past heroic demeanor.

Before coming, Ji Ruochen already knew about Master Jingxiao's complete loss of moral character, but he still stayed for a full moment before he concluded that the old man with gray hair and cloudy eyes in front of him was the master Jingxiao who had an unparalleled grace in the past.

Thinking about every detail of Master Jingxiao's teachings in the past five years, Ji Ruochen felt as if a big stone had fallen on his chest, and he was so stuffy that he couldn't say a word.

When Jing Xiao saw him, he smiled, pulled Ji Ruochen to sit down at the stone table, and poured him a cup of tea himself. The pot was a purple clay pot, with a capacity of only three cups. But such a small teapot, it was so difficult to pour tea.

With such a simple movement, Master Jing Xiao's hands trembled a little, and he splashed a few drops of tea outside the cup.

Ji Ruochen lowered his head and looked at the stone table, silently picking up the tea cup. His hands were shaking even worse than Jing Xiao's, and he almost spilled the entire cup of tea onto the stone table.

He could no longer control his facial expression and had to lower his head. Over there, Lan suddenly covered his face with his sleeves and without even saying hello to Ji Ruochen, he stood up in a hurry and ran into the house.

Master Jingxiao looked at the direction in which **Lan was leaving, sighed, shook his head a little helplessly and said with a smile: "Your wife, you still can't look away like this, you have been practicing for more than 40 years in vain. She looks like this, call me

How can we safely hand over Taixuan Peak to her? Alas, it would be better to choose another junior brother."

Master Jing Xiao looked at Ji Ruochen again, looked him up and down for a long time, and then smiled and said: "My eyes are dim now and I can't see your spiritual energy clearly. I just saw your demeanor and demeanor. Obviously, I gained a lot from my trip to Luoyang.

This level of Taiqingxuansheng is almost complete, right?"

Ji Ruochen replied in a low voice: "It's already eighty percent warm."

Master Jingxiao nodded and said: "Sure enough, the future life is to be feared. Ruochen, the first thing I care about in my life is the great plan of our sect, and the second is Yin Yin and your master's wife. Now Yin Yin is living outside, and her whereabouts are unknown. She has a bad temper.

, and I don’t have much experience in the world of martial arts, so I’m very worried. If it’s convenient for you to go down the mountain this time, just look for her on the way.”

Ji Ruochen hurriedly comforted him: "Master Jingxiao, don't worry. As far as I know, Yin Yin should be taken back to the Endless Sea together with Qing Yi."

It’s just that there is no confidence in what he said. Since the shopkeeper and his wife didn’t even recognize him at the time, they would not have taken any care of Qing Yi Yin Yin. As for the two girls being taken back to the Endless Sea, it was just his personal speculation based on the words of the shopkeeper and his wife.

Ji Ruochen had a vague feeling that it was impossible for the shopkeeper and his wife not to recognize him. It was just their nature that they had to scare him before they would give up. From this extrapolation, Yin Yin and Qing Yi should be fine.

Master Jingxiao observed his words and naturally knew what was on his mind, so he sighed and said: "I am already in my dying years. Now I am far inferior to ordinary people. I estimate that I will only have one or two years left in my life. I will no longer be able to take care of Yin Yin. This

The child has a strong temperament and has never suffered hardship. I am afraid that grievances will be inevitable in the future. She and you can be considered childhood sweethearts. If you don't give up, take care of her more on my behalf."

Ji Ruochen was shocked when he heard this and said, "How come you only have two years left in your life?"

When talking about his own life and death, Master Jingxiao became relaxed and said with a smile: "I was supposed to be destroyed both physically and mentally. Fortunately, Master Ziwei saved me with the precious treasure, and I managed to save my life. If I'm lucky,

I can still retain some of my wisdom in my next reincarnation."

The two talked for a few more words, but seeing that Master Jingxiao was already a little weak, Ji Ruochen immediately stood up and left.

Ji Ruochen stood on the edge of the cliff. Thinking of this, he could only sigh.

At this time, the sea of ​​clouds in front of him suddenly rippled, and a bad wind blew in his face. The howling sound almost swept him down the cliff. A flash of light appeared all over his body, and he stood on his feet and was nailed to the edge of the cliff. He let the bad wind pull him, but he couldn't help it.

Not even a tiny bit of movement.

The evil wind came and went quickly, disappearing in the blink of an eye. Ji Ruochen stood there, the glow of the skin around him condensing and not dissipating. After a while, it slowly turned dim. He sighed secretly, and his realm of Xuansheng was about to reach its peak.

, the precious light inside the body overflows, and anyone with a little bit of knowledge can see it. But Master Jingxiao can no longer see this scene.

His heart was in turmoil. Gu Qing, Qing Yi, Yin Yin, all the real people in the sect, the shopkeeper and his wife, Shang Qiu Shuiji Bingxian and other disciples, banishing immortals, dissociation techniques, divine luck charts, people or things, all came one after another, all of them were pressing on him.

His heart was so heavy that he couldn't breathe.

Everyone in the world thinks that gods are good.

He thought the same thing when he first came to Xixuan Mountain.

At that time, I only practiced the Three Pure Secrets, and this life I would have no worries about food and clothing, and be happy and happy. Who would have thought that as the Taoist practice deepens, the troubles will increase day by day, and even think about the danger of life and death every day. No matter which disciple you follow during the Taoism

In a sect, if one's Taoism reaches the realm of the Three Purities and True Secrets, one can hope to maintain their long-standing relationship in reincarnation and hope for a breakthrough in the next life. Therefore, for those who practice Taoism, the matter of transcending death and life is actually more important than ordinary mortals.

Pay more attention to it.

The road was originally difficult.

Jing Xiao was not hurt by anything, and Gu Qing was pierced by the green light from Yin Feng!

Ji Ruochen suddenly smiled bitterly and realized that he could no longer leave everything behind and quietly go down the mountain to find a quiet place to live a prosperous life as he had originally thought.

Qingxu...

Ji Ruochen silently recited these two words in his heart several times before heading to Taishang Daode Palace.

When Ji Ruochen entered the palace, Master Ziyang was sitting in front of the wooden table playing chess alone, showing that he had been waiting for him for a long time. However, Master Ziyang did not blame him, he simply explained the next thing and let him go and prepare on his own.

.

Ji Ruochen was always in a place of life and death, and he didn't talk much. After receiving the order, he didn't say a word, and left on his own with full of thoughts.

Just now Ziyang Zhenren said that Xu Zekai has fallen into the hands of the imperial court, and most likely there is no luck at this time. Luoyang Shou Wang Li An has turned to the imperial court and the Zhenwu Temple. This person is crucial to the future plans of Tao De Sect, and he must do it at all costs

The price must be paid to win it back. The secular affairs this time are very important and difficult. Many factions are bound to intervene in the secular world, and the world will be in chaos. Ji Ruochen has dealt with King Shou before, and also practiced some secular affairs with Xu Zekai.

So I want to go to Luoyang again.

This time Ji Ruochen will no longer go down the mountain alone. Ten disciples of the Taoist Sect will be stationed in Luoyang one after another to provide assistance. Regardless of their rank, these disciples will be deployed by Ji Ruochen. In addition, Taoist Master Yunfeng will also arrive in Luoyang soon.

Give guidance and help from the side.

Ji Ruochen never expected that he would take on the responsibility of commanding, but now that Yunfeng is helping him, he is more confident.

He didn't stay much longer and went down the mountain three days later.

During this trip to Luoyang, he also wanted to visit the whereabouts of Qing Yi and Yin Yin. He really didn't want to delay.

Just as he was walking out of the mountain gate, Ji Ruochen suddenly stopped and looked back. Beside the mountain gate, a cluster of flowers was still trembling slightly. The person who was supposed to stand behind the flowers had already left. Only the faint water smoke remained.

Her identity was quietly revealed.

"Smoke?" Ji Ruochen stood in the wind for a moment before turning around and going down the mountain.

He never looked back.

Not long after arriving in Luoyang, Ji Ruochen realized that he had no clue about the mission of this trip. How did King Shou Li An side with the imperial court?

According to Xu Zekai, when Li An killed his brother and took over the throne, he had made great achievements. Although Li An was a ruthless person, he was not a fool. Handing over Xu Zekai not only lost a lot of help, but also attracted the Taoist sect.

This kind of enemy. No matter how tight the Luoyang Palace is, it is still as flat as a level ground in the eyes of the monks with advanced Taoism. So they can come and go whenever they want?

Therefore, if Li An is willing to do this, it must be because the court and Zhenwu Guan have promised him a benefit that he cannot refuse. The question is, what is this benefit? What does Li An want? I don't know what Li An is thinking, and let Ji Ruochen

How to start? There is no need to use this word of temptation.

Moreover, Li An is so hostile to the Taoism sect, so he obviously has confidence in his own safety. At least he should not be afraid that a certain Taoism sect disciple will attack him at night and take his head in his sleep. If he wants to prevent the Taoism sect from raiding, he can

It's not something Zhenwu Temple can do. There must be someone else behind Li An. No matter who it is, for the time being, it seems that this word "forced" is not very useful. And even if Li An is tied up, Ji Ruochen can really kill Li An.

Not successful?

No matter how powerful the Tao Te Sect is, killing people like Li An must be considered carefully.

Intimidation and inducement were not feasible, so how could Ji Ruochen do it? Looking at Luoyang, which had experienced a great disaster and was coming back to life, Ji Ruochen couldn't help but smile bitterly. He didn't even know how to meet Li An, whether to go directly to the door to submit a message, or to turn over the Internet in the middle of the night.

Enter through the wall?

When Ji Ruochen was at a loss, a corner door of a mansion next to him suddenly opened, and a scribe stumbled out. Then two servants with plump breasts and protruding bellies rushed out from the door, and a thin housekeeper stepped out from the middle.

The man in costume pointed his head sideways at the scribe and cursed: "You useless scumbag, you didn't even open your eyes to see where this place is. Why do you want to eat and drink in Jia's house? Hey! Isn't this the case?"

Did I pierce the cowhide? What else can you say that through your hands, the young master will be able to understand the general situation clearly, discern the world's situation, and become a resource for the world. Huh, if the lady is not in a good mood today, just because of your nonsense about government affairs,

You should be thrown to Luoyang Mansion, and you will have to shed three layers of skin even if you don't die! Get out of here!"

The scribe climbed up with a groan. He first put on his clothes and then glared at the butler angrily and said, "I have a lot of talent, but it's just bad luck that forces me to temporarily become a teacher. Humph, you are so short-sighted, why are you still here?"

I don’t know what an opportunity I missed today! Come on, I won’t argue with you and others, it’s really insulting to be polite!”

The housekeeper was furious and shouted: "If you are poor, get out of here. I will capture you and send you to Luoyang Mansion. I will break your legs with forty big boards!"

Ji Ruochen stood across the street and felt that the scribe's voice sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it before.

When the scribe saw the two fat men rolling up their sleeves and tucking their clothes, exposing their two thick arms, he was about to come up and use force. He shouted hurriedly: "The sage has something to say, a gentleman should talk but not move! A gentleman should talk but not move!"

He screamed, covered his face with his sleeves, and hurriedly ran across the street.

When the housekeeper saw that he was hiding in such a panic, he couldn't help laughing, summoned two servants, and went back to the house triumphantly.

The scribe looked back and said with self-hate, "You have eyes but no eyes, huh!"

It's just that he was walking in a hurry and didn't notice anyone in front of him. He bumped into someone and couldn't help but take three steps back. The scribe raised his eyebrows and was about to get angry, but the person he hit on the other side raised his hand and said: "Mr. Ji.

Are you okay?"

The scribe was startled, and glanced sideways at the person opposite him. Seeing that the person was very young, majestic, and had an extraordinary image, he put away his contempt and said, "How did you know that my surname is Ji?"

Ji Ruochen said with a smile: "Mr. Ji's surname is Ji, his name is Tianxia, ​​and the word is Zhizhi, which means knowing everything about the world."

Ji Tianxia was startled again. He stared at Ji Ruochen and looked left and right. Then he slapped his forehead and said, "I remembered that I got five taels of silver from you! Your name is... your name is..."
