When Yun Zhong walked outside the blacksmith shop with a few boxes of cakes, the old man who was no longer shirtless stood in front of the door for the first time and waited. With his hands in his sleeves, he looked at Yun Zhong with kind eyes. Even some seniors suddenly looked at him. Xiang Yunzhong waved to Yun Zhong, symbolizing that he had finally achieved success. The two of them stood outside the door, carrying the flying snow on their shoulders, but they both waited for each other to speak.
"It's not bad. My understanding is barely dull. It's just two or three days later than I estimated. It doesn't hurt." It was the old man who spoke first, but the secret was revealed. He happily took out the splendid treasure from his arms and placed it in his arms. Yun Zhong's eyes flickered, "I made a bet with the old boatman and earned a treasure that I have been coveting for many years. Thanks to your efforts, I didn't like you at first, but today I think it's not bad. I can't accept your benefits in vain." Well, I should give you some benefit, as a human being, you won’t always reciprocate everything, but you have to come and go in order to be decent."
Yun Zhong smiled down-to-earth. He originally had the temperament of a miser, but now he really didn't want anything. But then he thought about how easy it was for this old man with a rather weird temper to speak and didn't want to waste anything, so after thinking twice, he decided to join in. He went forward and said in a low voice, "To be honest, I am very short on money these days. How about you give me some money so that I can pay it back as soon as possible."
The old man held the treasure and looked at Yunzhong for a long time, and suddenly felt ridiculous.
I don't know how many years I have been here, but I have never given anything to anyone. It was rare for me to open my mouth today, but Yunzhong didn't even look at the treasure. He then decided to ask for something that was of no use to a practitioner. Ordinary money, as for the gleaming treasure in his hand, the swordsman didn't even glance at it.
"Have thought about it. You don't want to take the other items, but you want some money. This will make the items in my blacksmith shop seem barren and unappealing to you. Do you really want to stop thinking about it?" The old man felt awkward and continued to make insinuations. asked.
"I have thought about it. In fact, I always ask for some money from you. Firstly, it is to settle the accounts. Secondly, the walls of Lord Yeshan's mansion are a bit dilapidated and I plan to repair them. However, I have been idle for a long time recently. I have no money on hand and I don't know how to repair it. That’s the plan for the courtyard wall. Besides, you received this treasure from the mountain god by your own ability. How can you give up your dignity and ask for more valuable items? How can you hide in this blacksmith shop in the future? .”
Things that the old man couldn't figure out no matter what, turned out to be logical and logical to Yun Zhong.
The backyard of the blacksmith shop was swept clean and tidy by the old man. The snow had already piled up in a corner before it could freeze. So when Yun Zhong set foot in the backyard after many days, he suddenly felt that the old man had never taken the trouble to clean up this place. In fact, the layout of the backyard has its merits. Not only is the decoration the finishing touch, the layout is generous and complete, but it is also located in an area with excellent Feng Shui. At the beginning, the second senior brother Qian Yin liked to study the big and small things in Feng Shui. Regardless of whether Yun Zhong liked it or not, he would often pull up Yun Zhong's sleeves and couldn't help but talk about it. Therefore, although most of it went in with one ear and out with the other, he still learned a lot. Feng shui is very particular, and if you look carefully, you will immediately realize that there is something magical about this place.
"Don't be so surprised. This old man's blacksmith shop is ordinary, but the background of the man at the mouth of the well is not necessarily small. Even if you look into details, his skills are not necessarily inferior to those of the four gentlemen. He is also at the forefront of the world's spiritual path. If you are a capable person and the place where you live has good feng shui, it is not a strange thing."
The old man picked up the plaque that had been placed in the corner for a long time, but did not hand it to Yun Zhong. Instead, he looked at the young swordsman in front of him with a smile, "You are very insightful. You should have guessed the identity of the person at the bottom of the well. After many days, You have said that you have enlightened the truth, but you can't hide it from me. Today, the road ahead is getting clearer, and it is up to you to decide whether to re-enter the well or not to take risks."
"It's best to have a beginning and an end." Carrying the iron ruler, Yun Zhong nodded to the old man and jumped into the well.
The old man was the only one left looking at the mouth of the well that was surging like a river. His thoughts gradually faded away, and he slowly remembered that many years ago there was a young man who was an expert in swordsmanship. Although they have similar aura, the two of them are indeed very similar.
The Jade Temple was still built in the square inch of land, and maids were still walking around in the temple. I accidentally looked up and saw Yun Zhong coming to the door with an iron ruler on his back. They all came forward and said, why did you just come today? Our Water God is already here. I have been thinking about it for many days, but now I am looking forward to it, and I will definitely express my pain of lovesickness. There were still a few sharp-eyed maids who saw that Yun Zhong's complexion was much worse than before, so they naturally wanted to come forward to ask for help. They also blamed Yun Zhong for not taking care of her body. It was cold outside in the twelfth month of winter and she could not be disturbed by the wind and cold. Why not? Just staying in the temple, my master looked weak, but his swordsmanship was actually not bad. It was probably a beautiful thing for the two of them to compete in swordsmanship.
Yun Zhong responded to the chatter of the maids in front of him one by one. There was always a smile on his face, but his smile never changed. He finally dealt with it and walked to the top of the Jade Temple alone to meet the Sishui Immortal who had been waiting here earlier. Ten steps away, he took a futon and sat down cross-legged. He looked neither sad nor happy. He raised his head and glanced at the goddess who was also sitting cross-legged.
"After thinking about it, I have to say something clearly in person. After all, I'm not old enough to bully others with my skills, so it's best to speak first."
With just one glance, the woman's expression became deserted, but she did not speak. Instead, she raised her hand to signal Yun Zhong to speak first.
So Yun Zhong actually sat cross-legged on the ground and started talking leisurely to the person in front of him.
Yun Zhong said that he was not very discerning, so he might have accidentally missed a few things. However, just by seeing the tricks she saw, the woman used no less than five tricks, almost causing her incompetence as a young person who was not experienced in the world to succeed. He was crushed in a dead end, and he had to use all his skills and get help from many things to escape. Therefore, when he came to see the woman with such a beautiful face today, he was a little scared.
Yun Zhong said that the woman's first move was very clever. Although he was a bit dull and shy, he had never seen women. When he took a step into the well, the maids around him were showing off their arms and shoulders. It was enough to make people lose their sense of order, let alone stick to their own principles. The thoughts in my mind will become more and more solid based on what I hear in the future. Moreover, I have never seen such a scene when I was wandering around the world, so I was at a disadvantage when I met, and I fell into the trap without any accident. If my master hadn't taught me this before, I'm afraid the attack is deeper, and maybe I'm still confused now and don't know the way forward. The second trick is to confuse right and wrong. Until now, the four gentlemen are still unwilling to ask too much about the affairs in the Pisces Jade Mirror, let alone interfere in the affairs of this world or do evil by controlling the lifeline of this world. However, it is the woman who uses her words. Kung Fu confuses black and white, and it happens to be measured by people's hearts. Even though Yun Zhong is obviously more towards the Four Lords, he also knows that people's human nature is difficult to understand and scrutinize. What's more, seeing the miserable situation in front of him, and believing that seeing is believing, is not unscrupulous, it is The most dangerous level in this Ming chess game, most of the time has been spent here.
I thought that I could not reach the realm of a gentleman, and I was far away from those saints who had no trace. However, this trick still worked for me who had my feet dangling in the air and did not want to stand on the shore.
The last three moves do not require too much thought. They are not so much moves as they are reliance. The first one is that Yun Zhong guessed that this jade temple existed in ancient times. Even if the four monarchs wanted to eradicate the roots, they would still use it. There is nothing the woman in the glory of the temple can do. Even if she can be suppressed completely, she will probably have to pay a considerable price. Therefore, the two have been living in peace for many years. Even if Yun Zhong's thoughts are destroyed, 80% of the four princes are unable to do it, so they have to attribute it to Yun Zhong's own understanding was too poor and he was not qualified for a big position. The second is a very clever blindfold. Even Yun Zhong doesn't know what the original scene of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood is. If he hadn't pushed the formation to a higher level, he would probably still be in the dark. Chi It was impossible to find out the crucial point to break the game.
"There is a fifth part that I haven't mentioned yet, but feel free to tell me." The woman's expression gradually became calmer and she looked at Yun Zhong.
"It's shameful to say the last thing to rely on." Yun Zhong took off the iron ruler from his back and placed it in front of his knees, "Sishui God, maybe now we should call our seniors to take over the post of Lord of the Pisces Jade Realm. Even in the Jade Temple, I still have the ability to go up to the Three Realms. I only saw the descendants of the Three Realms in this world. Even though the senior could only maintain the abilities of the Three Realms in the Jade Temple, he still has a variety of magical powers and methods. However, if the junior is firmly on the side of the Four Lords and plans to overturn the chessboard unreasonably, he will definitely not be able to defeat the senior."
After hearing this, the woman sighed and stretched out her arms. There were more than a dozen eyes on her radiant arms. However, she was not in a hurry to take action. Instead, she said with a questioning look on her face, "You are very thoughtful like you." , how did the youngster who was prone to a dead end figure it out?"
Yun Zhong stood up, held up the iron ruler and raised it to his chest, smiling so hard that his eyebrows narrowed into a slit.
"Thank you, senior, for telling me one of the benefits of becoming stronger. In my opinion, it's a huge benefit."
The owner of the cake shop told Yun Zhong that leaving cakes for Yun Zhong was out of favor, while giving cakes to the old man was out of business. If it were a vendor who only knew about buying and selling, the matter would be quite difficult, because the number of cakes was fixed. Next, the old man wants cakes, and he wants to leave cakes for Yun Zhong, but he has the ability to make cakes, so he can take care of both.
Yun Zhong wanted to believe the Four Lords, but he couldn't find any way to refute the way to see through the previous Lord of the Pisces Jade Realm, so no matter how humble the deception method used by the latter was, it would be useless to see through it on his own. If he had enough ability, If you have the state of mind and the ability to judge worldly affairs, you can find the true answer to this matter, and then you can accept it with peace of mind no matter what your choice is. Then most things in the world will be much easier.
Yun Zhong never expected that standing higher would bring him many great benefits, nor did he think that he could have the ability to talk calmly and reason with those top masters. But standing higher and being able to stay away from human affairs The truth is closer to the truth, and this is contentment.
The sword wind rises.
