"Tao spreads beyond the sky, swords fall on the stars and rivers, it's not a fairyland, it's a fairyland; waking up from a dream, walking back to the void, it's the human world, not the human world - Brother Li, what does this mean, why can't I understand it?"
In Tongfu Inn, Wei Lun scratched his head after listening to Xiao Qianjun's explanation of the couplet on the ruined tower, not quite understanding it.
When Li Chaoyi and Xiao Qianjun returned from the Forest of Abandoned Pagoda Steles in the evening, the three members of the demon-slaying team also came out of the ancient battlefield and returned to the inn.
That ancient battlefield was very dangerous, and it was difficult for foreign monks to stay there for a long time.
Even strong men such as martial arts prodigy Xiao Ye, Broken Sword Sect Yin Yan, and sword wielder Zhao Tieyi must withdraw within an hour, otherwise they are likely to be killed by the heroic souls inside, or directly become Yin soldiers.
Among the Yin soldiers there, the lowest level ones are in the seventh level. Coupled with being armored and fearless of death, it is very difficult for even Yin Yang to deal with them.
Not to mention the three members of the demon-slaying team.
They stayed inside for less than half an hour and then came out together.
Other low-lying warriors and military monks from outside the country are similar to them.
Moreover, Wei Lun also found out that the other two ruins, the Sword Tomb in the northeast corner and the Demon Burial Ground in the southwest corner, were similar. They were both very dangerous and terrifying, and they did not look like they were prepared for low-level monks.
If you want to stay in these three ruins for a longer period of time, it is only possible for you to be a master of the ninth realm, or a grand master of the ten realms above.
In addition, they also accidentally heard the news that Han Xiankong, the successor of Mingshan Sword Sect, and Pei He, the successor of Hidden Lake in the Western Region, had met in the sword tomb and had a sword exchange.
Han Xiankong was defeated.
His "clear sky and pure land, clear mind and sword" are no match for Pei He's lonely sword intention.
The first confrontation between the heirs of this generation of the two great sword sects, Yinhu won.
Li Changyi was not surprised when he heard the news. He had seen Pei He's lonely sword intent before, and it was indeed extraordinary.
Based on Han Xian's performance in the battle on Tongjie, his defeat to Pei He was not unjust.
This is not the Mingshan Sword Sect losing to the Yinhu Sword Sect.
It's just that he is not as good as Pei He.
The three members of the demon-slaying team were very happy when they heard that Li Qianyi had harvested thirty-six phantoms of stone tablets in the ruins of the Forest of Abandoned Tower Steles, and planned to go there to have a look next time.
At the moment, what the three members of the demon-slaying team are most interested in is the couplet on the ruined tower.
These thirty characters were written in the characters commonly used in the world today, without any Taoist rhyme, and Li Qianyi did not make any rubbings.
However, its content alone is profound enough and thought-provoking.
After hearing Wei Lun's inquiry, Li Chaoyi replied: "In the first half of the column, 'Tao spreads to the sky, swords fall into the stars, it is not a fairyland, but a fairyland.' I don't know who it refers to, and I don't know where it refers to."
"And the second half of the story 'waking up from a dream and returning home is the human world, not the human world'. If I guess correctly, it should be talking about Lao Shigui, which is the town where we are."
"This is to remind it that when it wakes up from a deep sleep, it should return to its hometown. This world is not its world."
The three members of the demon-slaying team were stunned at the same time.
Wei Lun exclaimed in shock: "You mean, this old stone turtle comes from a place outside the sky? Not from our world? Are there other big worlds besides the human world?"
Li Chaoyi said leisurely: "Besides the human world, whether there are other big worlds, the saints of various schools keep it secret, so it's hard to say."
"But there must be a place beyond the sky."
"Aren't the ancestors of each family in all the caves, heavens, blessed lands, and holy realms of the immortal families in the nine continents under heaven found them from outside the sky?"
"The Linggui Town we are currently in should actually be called Linggui Xiaodongtian."
Guo Hengbei and Wei Lun were shocked. This was the first time they heard of such secrets of the Immortal Family.
Most monks have no idea where the various cave heavens and blessed lands come from.
Guo Nanjun blinked his eyelashes and asked: "Then this old stone turtle is going back to that 'not a fairyland, but a fairyland'? Dare to call it a fairyland, how vast and prosperous it must be?"
Li Chaoyi nodded and said: "It should be that 'Isn't it a fairyland'? Since the word can be transmitted to the sky and the sword can fall into the stars, even if it is not a real fairyland, it is not far away if you think about it."
"Speaking of which, I'm really looking forward to returning home this time."
Guo Nanjun thought about it and yearned for it.
Wei Lun said in fear: "Are we going to go too? Can we still come back?"
Xiao Qianjun was also scared and said: "Yes, Senior Brother, can we come back? Or can we not go? I don't want to leave Senior Wife, Master, Second Senior Brother, and Little Senior Sister. I will miss them very much."
Li Chaoyi tapped the girl's forehead with a folding fan and asked with a smile: "Do you know where the spirit turtle was five hundred years ago?"
Xiao Qianjun and Wei Lun shook their heads together.
Guo Nanjun and Guo Hengbei were also very curious.
Li Qianyi revealed the answer and said: "According to "Lao Ji Tan Xuan Shuo", the old stone turtle is an ancient Taixu turtle that migrates once every seven or eight hundred years. The length of time it leaves is uncertain, but it always returns to the human world. "
"Five hundred years ago, Linggui Town was located in a small country called Lingshui Country in the north. It later appeared in the Wei Dynasty. It was thought to be the result of the last migration."
Wei Lun asked: "How to confirm that this Linggui Town is the other Linggui Town? There should be more than one town called Linggui Town in the world, right?"
Li Changyi replied: "It was only after the town was banned that I combined the two volumes of "Records of Strange Towns in Beizhou" and "Lao Ji Tan Xuan Shuo" and compared the changes in the town in the past two days to confirm that this place is The Linggui Town in "The Record of Strange Towns"."
Wei Lun was convinced. It seemed that he should study more when he had nothing to do.
If you can read all the books in the world, you will not be afraid of traveling all over the world.
…
In the south of the town, there is a street called Listening to Frogs, which is said to be named after Jiaxuan Gong, one of the three most famous poets in the world.
This street is also the closest to Nanbian Qianmo, and you can see endless green rice fields as far as the eye can see.
At dusk, there was a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing coarse cloth and a bamboo hat, walking on Tingwa Street.
This girl in a bamboo hat is carrying a bamboo basket on her back, a small hoe on her waist, and a pair of straw sandals under her feet. She looks similar to the farmers in the small town who work at sunrise and rest at sundown.
But everyone in the town looked at her with a strange face. There was no doubt that she was also a foreigner.
Although the small hoe on the waist of the girl in a bamboo hat has been washed clean, there is still a lot of mud left on her face. She must have just returned from the fields.
She was holding a few rice seedlings in her hands, with a smile on her face and she looked very happy.
Suddenly she jumped up with an "Oops" sound. She must have stepped on something under her feet, which made her feet hurt.
After landing, she moved closer to see what was hurting her.
When I picked it up, it looked like a turtle shell.
Rinse it in the ditch and say, "Hey, this turtle shell is quite pretty!"
As soon as the girl finished speaking, all the foreign monks in the town had a sudden realization in their hearts:
"The turtle shell appears in the world, and the opportunity comes!"
…
In the Tongfu Inn, Li Qianyi, Xiao Qianjun, Guo Hengbei, Guo Nanjun, and Wei Lun all had this realization in their minds.
If you find a turtle shell, you will see a great opportunity.
After coming back to his senses, Wei Lun asked: "Brother Li, what is this?"
"Such a method must be done by an old turtle."
The three members of the demon-slaying team looked at each other.
Xiao Qianjun next to him asked directly: "Elder brother, is this turtle shell a talisman? Only with it can we get that great opportunity?"
"yes."
"Is this great opportunity to follow the Taixu Stone Turtle to that extraterrestrial place that is 'not a fairyland?'"
"Maybe."
"Then where will the turtle shell be?"
Li Chaoyi thought of the words given to him by his school teacher Liu Yuchen, and smiled: "It should be in the hands of the residents of the town, or related to them."
Xiao Qianjun also thought of Mr. Liu's words, "Heaven is in the hands of the people, so we should treat them kindly." He never thought that it was related to great opportunity.
Wei Lun asked about the reason, and Xiao Qianjun told the story of how he accidentally entered a small town school and met the teacher Liu Yuchen.
Guo Hengbei and Wei Lun were a little surprised after hearing this.
Just when I was about to doze off, someone brought me a pillow and mat. Without the teacher's gift, how could I find this turtle shell?
Guo Nanjun asked a key question: "How many pieces are there in this turtle shell?"
Li Chaoyi shook his head: "I don't know, according to "Lao Ji Tan Xuan Shuo", there is no fixed number for this letter talisman, five or six yuan, seven or eight yuan, ten yuan, dozens of yuan, it is all possible, just look at The mood of Taixu Old Turtle."
Guo Hengbei thought for a moment and said worriedly: "The turtle shell represents the talisman of faith. Only with the talisman of faith can you have great opportunities. However, their quantity is uncertain and ultimately limited. It will definitely cause a bloody storm."
Whether it is a worldly world or a fairy family seeking Taoism, whenever an opportunity arises, it will inevitably lead to competition.
Fighting leads to killing, it starts easily, but when it ends, you don’t know when it will end.
If possible, Guo Hengbei would rather lead the demon-slaying team to leave this whirlpool.
However, the town cannot be left now.
Wei Lun suddenly asked: "Brother Li, will you fight for this turtle shell?"
A martial artist talks about fighting.
Sword cultivators also asked about swords everywhere.
The purposes of many legalists, military strategists, famous strategists, political strategists, etc. are all inseparable from the word "struggle".
The most sage Confucian teacher said, "A gentleman has nothing to fight for." In addition, another great Confucian sage said, "My way is self-sufficient, so why should I seek outside help?"
Brother Li, as a Confucian scholar, didn't know how to view this matter.
Li Chaoyi leaned back, shook the paper fan lightly, and said lazily: "I am a lazy person. After going down the mountain and leaving the academy, I am just an idler in this world of rivers and lakes."
"For things like chance, I am lucky if I get it, and if I don't get it, just let it happen."
"Besides, I only have one realm, so how can I compete with this large group of geniuses from the Immortal Family? I'm no match."
Wei Lun pouted, I believe you are a ghost, you are in the same realm.
Can one realize the resonance between heaven and man in the true realm?
Can you preside over the restoration of heaven and earth?
Guo Nanjun, who was dressed neatly in red, pursed his lips slightly and smiled.
Guo Hengbei shook his head, obviously not believing it.
Li Changyue spread his hands and said, "I'm really in a different state. If you don't believe me, just ask Xiao Qian'er."
Xiao Qianjun nodded quickly: "Well, Senior Brother is really a master!"
The three members of the demon-slaying team suddenly laughed, and the room was filled with a happy atmosphere.
…
the next day.
After breakfast, the three members of the demon-slaying team went to the ruins of the ancient battlefield again to hone their physical fitness and martial arts.
Li Xianyue led Xiao Qianjun and planned to visit the ruins of the Sword Tomb.
As soon as I came out of Ping'an Square, I met a young couple from abroad who were dressed gorgeously.
This foreign couple was dressed in gorgeous clothes. The man looked majestic and talented, while the woman smiled sweetly and was soft and bright.
The words "Double Wind Valley" were embroidered on their clothes.
Shuangfeng Valley is a famous Xianjia sect in the middle of Beizhi Gezhou. It was founded a thousand years ago by the "Shuangfeng Heroes" Mei Chengfeng and Yun Xuanfeng, who were famous throughout Beizhi Gezhou.
Since the establishment of the sect, every generation of people who have walked down the mountain have become Taoist companions, just like the ancestors, joining hands with the two winds to explore Beizhou.
On the street, the two sides met head-on. Li Chaoyi and Xiao Qianjun turned aside to let them pass first.
The charming and charming woman suddenly stopped, looked at the petite little Qianjun, and said with a chuckle: "This little elf is so smart, so cute!"
The man next to her heard her words and immediately whispered to her.
Then he walked towards Li Chuanyi and said, "Brother, my junior sister likes this little monster very much. I wonder if I can part with you? If you are willing, you can give me whatever price you want."
Xiao Qianjun hid behind his senior brother.
Li Chaoyi shook his head and said, "I don't want to."
Seeing him shaking his head, the man frowned slightly and said, "Brother, don't you think about it more? I am Shuangfeng Gu Guan Ruofeng. If you are willing to part with me, you will not only get generous rewards, but also gain the friendship between Guan Ruofeng and Shuangfeng Gu." , this is not an opportunity that ordinary people can get.”
"Thank you."
Guan Ruofeng's face didn't look good when he saw that he was out of luck.
He turned back to look at the charming and charming woman, "Junior sister, otherwise I will..."
"Senior brother, I just like this little grass and tree spirit. You know, I have wanted to own a little spirit for a long time, but I have never met the right one." The charming and charming woman said with a gentle smile.
When Guan Ruofeng heard this, he immediately turned around.
He looked at Li Changyi again and said: "Brother, you see my junior sister really likes this little monster of yours. Why don't you think about it again? Again, whether it's a copper coin or a magic weapon, the price You can drive whatever you want."
Li Chaoyi smiled lightly and said: "I like your junior sister very much. She has a good figure and should be easy to give birth to. How about you also part with her and sell her to me? The price is whatever you want. Dao copper coins and spiritual weapons and magic weapons, I There are quite a few.”
"How dare you!" Guan Ruofeng was furious instantly.
He stared at Li Chaoyi, filled with evil energy.
"Look, you don't want to give up what you love so much, so why force it on others."
"Hmph, you are an ant in the same realm, but you are worthy of being compared with me, Guan Ruofeng? I will give you one last chance, sell it or not? If you sell it, I will pretend that nothing has happened; if you don't sell it, haha …”
Guan Ruofeng's eyes were proud and indifferent, as if he was really looking at an ant or a cricket.
The evil aura emanating from the body became stronger and colder, causing many people passing by to avoid it and not dare to get close.
Li Chaoyi was unfazed. He gently shook his folding fan and said with a smile, "Are you trying to oppress me with your status and power?"
"So what?"
"I am Xie Jiashu of Hanshan Academy. Are you sure you really want to use your power to suppress me?"
"What did you say? Are you Xie Jiashu of Hanshan Academy?"
Guan Ruofeng's expression suddenly changed when he heard this, and the charming and beautiful woman not far away also lost some of her beauty.
Xie Jiashu of Hanshan Academy started fighting three times a day as soon as he got off the mountain. He first defeated a sword cultivator in the same realm, then killed an evil cultivator in the late stages of the seventh realm, and finally faced off against a Legalist disciple in the eighth realm without falling behind.
As far north as the central part of Gezhou, anyone who is well-informed has heard of his deeds.
Guan Ruofeng was only in the late stage of the Sixth Realm. Even if he broke through to the Seventh Realm, he would not dare to show off his abilities if Xie Jiashu of Hanshan was in front of him.
Seeing that the other party didn't seem to believe it, Li Chaoyi took out a token from his arms.
On the front of the token is a pattern including Hanshan Stone Path, Maple Pavilion, and White Clouds, and on the back is the word "Hanshan".
He is a disciple of Hanshan Academy's Upper School, his identity plate when he walks in the world.
Seeing this nameplate, Guan Ruofeng's face turned ashen for a moment, and he bowed and said: "I'm sorry, I am too blind to see Mount Tai, and I have offended Hanshan's talented people. I apologize to Brother Xie, and I am willing to take responsibility no matter how much Brother Xie reduces the blame. All I ask is Thank you for your forgiveness, brother!"
The soft and beautiful woman also trotted over quickly and saluted Li Changye and Xiao Qianjun Wanfu. She lowered her body very low, her chest and skirt were open, and she didn't care about covering up, let alone utter a sound.
Seeing their appearance, Li Changyi said lazily: "Arrogant at the front and respectful at the back, bullying the weak but charming and strong, the righteous and mellow Shuangfeng Valley created by the Mei Yun heroes and heroines, when did the family style become so unbearable?"
The expressions of Guan Ruofeng, a soft and beautiful woman, became even more embarrassed.
At this moment, a hearty voice sounded:
"Since two hundred years ago, the previous generation of sect masters He Shanfeng and An Xunfeng died without explanation. After the new people came to the throne, the sect style of Shuangfeng Valley has become worse year by year, and it has long lost its former reputation."
Li looked towards the sound and saw a tall young man with a tall and tall figure walking from the other end of the street.
It was actually Xiao Ye who was fighting one against two on the long street yesterday.
After approaching, he didn't look at Guan Ruofeng and the two of them, and clasped his fists at Li Chaoyi and said, "I've seen Brother Li!"
Li Changyi was surprised: "Do you know me?"
"When I was going north, I met Xie Jiashu on the way. I wanted to ask him about boxing, but he was busy with his master's duties and was anxious to go south. He had no intention of fighting me. He told me that there was another Li Gengxin in Hanshan Academy. His realm and cultivation Everything is above him, if I don't want to ask about Quan Hanshan, I can go to him."
"We met in the town today, and I want to ask Brother Li about boxing!"
