A remote town in the Kutan Langya Mountains.
The young scholar came to Chaosi Lane carrying a bowl of braised pork.
This is something that scholars must do every day, except when the old god is in retreat or goes out. I don’t know how the old god never gets tired of it.
Today, the old immortal will leave seclusion, and the scholar who got the news will visit Chaosi Lane again.
Looking at Zhao Xiyan who was sitting carefree in the courtyard drinking, the young scholar smiled gently and called, "Boss."
Zhao Xiyan waved and said, "Thank you for taking care of the teacher when I was away."
The young scholar put the red meat on the stone table beside him, shook his head and said, "It is necessary to study and learn to read with the old immortal. I have been reviewing my lessons recently, so don't be surprised if I didn't come to see the boss."
Zhao Xiyan continued to drink, his eyes beckoning the young scholar to sit wherever he wanted.
He glanced at the room with the door closed and asked, "When will the old immortal come out of seclusion?"
Zhao Xiyan muttered: "Probably for a while."
The young scholar was silent for a moment and said: "When the old god finishes the test, if there are no problems, I will leave the town."
Zhao Xiyan looked surprised and said as if he knew where the scholar was going: "Are you going to Yuyuan Academy?"
The young scholar nodded and said, "After all, Yuyuan Academy is a holy place for scholars. I can't stay in the town forever."
Zhao Xiyan said nothing.
The young scholar looked at her and said: "Not only are there many people in this town who cannot afford to study, but there are also many people who don't even think about studying, or dare not think about it. How much can the old immortal teach? In addition to studying at Yuyuan Academy Broaden your horizons. If you perform well after graduation, you can be recommended as an official. If you want to change the current situation in the town, this is the only way out."
"Very good." With the sound of the door creaking open, the old god stepped out of the room, looked at the young scholar with a smile and said, "If you can become the sacrificial wine of Kutan Yuyuan Academy one day, you can do more things. But the random flowers are becoming more and more charming, and you have truly entered the world. I hope you can always maintain your original intention."
The young scholar hurriedly greeted him.
However, the old immortal had a clear goal. He quickly stepped forward, picked up the bowl of red meat, and said greedily: "I am hungry!"
The young scholar clasped his hands and said, "My homework..."
The old god ate braised pork, waved his hands and said vaguely: "I will teach you everything I can teach you. I dare not say that you will be admitted to Yuyuan Academy in the divine capital, but if you want to enter Kutan Academy, as long as you have no problem with your mentality, then There’s no problem at all.”
The young scholar was a little sentimental and hesitated: "But as soon as I leave, no one will bring you braised pork."
The old god smiled and said, "It's because of you that others don't have to do it. Is it possible that if you leave, I won't be able to eat braised pork? Although your father makes the most delicious braised pork, at worst, I will go there every day." Your family is just trying to make a living, can your father still drive me away?"
The young scholar smiled. The old god wanted to eat whatever he wanted. The people in the town didn't talk nonsense. He was just a little reluctant to give it up.
Of course the old god knew what he was thinking, and he drove him away impatiently: "Hurry up!"
The young scholar took a breath, clasped his hands again, and solemnly said: "Student Wei Ziyi, farewell."
He glanced at Zhao Xiyan one last time, turned and left.
Zhao Xiyan looked at his back and said worriedly: "This guy has no power to restrain a chicken, and the plague of bitter sandalwood monsters has not stopped at the moment. Are you really going to let him go like this?"
The old god said calmly: "Although you grew up together, you didn't really understand him. He really has no qualifications in practice, but he just doesn't have the qualifications for Qi refining. I usually teach him to read, and also teach him to strengthen his body. Maybe On the surface it looks ordinary, but the energy and blood in his body is extraordinary."
Zhao Xiyan really didn't notice anything. She just looked at the teacher in surprise and asked, "Can you still teach martial arts?"
The old god made a sound and said: "Who are you looking down on? Even though I am not a martial artist, I used to often hang out with the most powerful martial artists, and I can't teach a boy under the influence of my ears and eyes?"
Zhao Xiyan frowned and said, "The most powerful martial artist...you mean Zhang Zhijing?
Are you friends with the God of War? "
The old immortal quickly changed the subject, "In addition to his martial arts achievements, Wei Ziyi has some faint signs of Confucian awe-inspiring aura. His future achievements are limitless. How long did it take for the imperial master to realize the awe-inspiring aura? Wei Ziyi is so... He is very talented in some aspects.”
Although Zhao Xiyan knew the teacher's calculations, she did not break the casserole and ask the truth. She knew early on that the teacher had secrets. She would listen if he wanted to say it. If he didn't want to tell it, she would not force him to ask.
She took advantage of the situation and brought up the topic of Qingxuan Department, "Yan Kan arrived in the town not long ago. He wanted to investigate Chaosixiang secretly, but he was sent away by me. Later Jiang Wang showed up and said that Lou Yiren told him about it. It seemed that I want him to help Chaosixiang, what does the teacher think?"
The old god frowned slightly.
He remembered that before the meeting between the two dynasties, Lou Yiren sent a message, not only inviting Zhao Xiyan to participate in the war, but also deliberately mentioning Chu Chunqiu.
Lou Yiren obviously has a big problem and his purpose is unclear.
The old immortal looked at Zhao Xiyan and suddenly gave him a chestnut. The latter was in pain, covered his head and said blankly: "Are you going to give me a ****?"
The old god said angrily: "Who asked you to attend the meeting of the two dynasties on your own initiative!"
Zhao Xiyan said: "It's been so long, it's too late for you to say this now, and why can't I participate?"
The old god said in a deep voice: "The answer is that the Qingxuan Department will come to investigate. Someone must have discovered something from you."
Zhao Xiyan asked in confusion: "Did Yankan come here because of me? What is there in me that they should care about?"
The old god said: "Of course the key is not you, but it is because you participated in the Two Dynasties Meeting and made someone aware of the problem. After all, what you learned was taught by me."
Zhao Xiyan vaguely understood that someone had seen the shadow of the teacher in his own moves, and he was undoubtedly the teacher's enemy. Although there were many people watching the battle in Panmen, there were no people who could borrow the help of Qingxuan Department. several.
The old immortal interrupted Zhao Xiyan's thoughts and said: "The matter has come to this, there is no other way. Just take it one step at a time. This day will come sooner or later."
Zhao Xiyan clenched his fists and said, "In the worst case, I'll just kill the person."
The old immortal said amusedly: "It's a pity that you are not strong enough."
Zhao Xiyan said: "Then I will not go anywhere and practice hard."
The old immortal sighed and said, "It would be best for you to stay in Chaosixiang."
Zhao Xiyan said seriously: "This time, that time."
The old god looked at her blankly, "Have you guessed who the enemy is?"
Zhao Xiyan said: "There are not many people who meet the conditions."
The old immortal fell silent for a moment.
Then he said very abruptly: "The Jianli people are eyeing you and that boy named Jiang."
Zhao Xiyan asked in surprise: "Where did the teacher learn about this?"
The old god snorted, "That's none of your business."
Zhao Xiyan curled his lips and said: "To be precise, he is targeting Jiang Wang, but Jiang Wang should have been afraid of killing Jianli."
The old god said: "The Jianli is just a knife. The one who is really eyeing you is a guy in white clothes and a white mask. Without one knife, of course there is a second one. That guy is more powerful than you. Don't ignore it." thing."
Zhao Xiyan frowned. She could easily think of Bai Xueyi. It was just a guess before, but now it was confirmed, so she looked at her teacher more curiously.
The old god said in anguish: "You run out and ignore me. I can only rely on Wei Ziyi to feed me, but we also want to lose face. What will it be like in the long run? The family has no firewood, rice, oil and salt, so we have to think about it."
Zhao Xiyan realized the problem and said in shock: "Teacher, have you become a Jianli?"
The old god waved his hand and said, "I am a gentleman who loves money and gets it in a wise way. I have never done anything harmful to nature!"
Zhao Xiyan shook his head and said, "I'm not saying this. I'm saying that the mission target will not be in bad luck if he meets you?"
The old god was silent.
...
The silver moon hangs high.
Mountain streams gurgled and mist shrouded.
verdant
Trees and blooming wildflowers decorate the foot of the mountain. The majestic peaks are looming in the clouds and mist, and the singing of mountain birds echoes throughout.
Su Changluo said in a deep voice: "Although the Kutan demon problem has indeed weakened a lot, it still pops up from time to time. I think it is necessary for Wanglaihu disciples to enter the world to slay demons."
Along the way, they witnessed many demon troubles. Even if Kutan Sect monks and Qingxuan Department demon envoys were everywhere and could resist them, there would inevitably be unexpected times when they were unable to catch up. Situations like the one in Liang City might not exist elsewhere.
Jiang Wang had already thought about it and agreed: "When you come back from Chaosixiang, you and Yu Xichao will each bring some people to subdue the demons in different areas. You can join hands with Jiange or Wushen Temple to try to change Kutan back to its original appearance in the shortest possible time. .”
He felt that it was necessary to feed it with divinity to help increase his luck and completely cover every corner of Kutan.
At that time, he would be able to sense any disturbance in Kutan immediately, and he would be able to slay demons even without leaving home.
This is obviously a faster way to solve the current problem of the Kutan demon.
Looking at the small town in front of them, Jiang Wang and the others quickened their pace, but the strange thing was that after they walked for a long time, the town was still close in front of them. It was obviously a short distance, but it seemed that they could not reach it.
Su Changluo said alertly: "There is a problem."
Yu Xichao raised his eyes to look at the moon. The bright silver moon turned into a blood moon at some point.
Gu Yi whispered: "Is there a monster?"
Jiang Wang frowned and said, "If you can make us unaware, you are obviously not an ordinary person."
He turned to look at Li Shenyuan, who understood what he meant and followed his words. The figures of everyone disappeared in an instant, only to reappear in the same place.
Li Shenyuan was very surprised and said: "It's obviously normal and there are no restrictions. Why is this happening?"
Jiang Wang's face was solemn. He recalled whether there was any abnormality before, but he couldn't find anything after thinking about it.
Gu Yi exclaimed again, "Why is there an inn there!"
Everyone followed the sound, and sure enough, an inn suddenly appeared not far to the right.
There are white sails and bright red lanterns hanging in front of the inn, the above-mentioned 'Nanke'.
A word quickly came to Li Shenyuan's mind, "Nan Ke Yimeng?"
Jiang Wang was surprised: "Is this a nightmare? Are we in a dream?"
Gu Yi seemed to understand a little, and said with an ugly face: "I have read the records in Xiaoshuang Mountain. In nightmare dreams, whenever the moon or sun appears, it is indeed blood-colored, but we are not sleeping at all? How did the nightmare pull us in? In a dream?"
Jiang Wang couldn't help but punched somewhere. Although the force was huge, it didn't break even a root of grass. His face darkened, "Logically speaking, even though a nightmare in a dream can make a monk in the Snow Bath Realm unable to do anything, but the face Even if a cultivator at the peak of Baoxue is caught off guard and falls into a nightmare, he should still be defeated in one blow."
More importantly, how did the nightmare cross the Kingdom of God and drag him into the dream?
And just like Gu Yi said, they didn't sleep at all, so how could they have the conditions to dream?
Is this nightmare that I don’t know where it came from very powerful?
Li Shenyuan said in a solemn voice: "We are awake!"
After the words fell, nothing changed around him.
Li Shenyuan said blankly: "So are we really awake, or will the Dharma lost in the dream state lose its effect?"
She had never experienced a nightmare, so she naturally had no experience in this area, so she was unsure for a while.
