It was already dark, and the ferry was sailing on the sea of clouds. Looking up, we could see the bright stars in the sky, and looking down, we could see the dots of light on the earth. After Yao Tiao put Princess Nanzhao to sleep, he quietly left the room, walked to the stern of the boat, and stood with the Taoist priest with the lotus crown who was looking up at the moon.
"I went up to the Jianglou alone to think quietly, the moonlight was like water and the sky. Isn't the scenery nice?" Taoist Lotus Crown looked away and smiled: "Yao Tiao, in fact, with your talent, you can achieve what you have today as a monk. If Let me tell you, martial arts is a dead end, and no one in ten thousand years has been able to break through the ninth level. Will you regret it now?"
Yao Tiao lay on the railing and said calmly: "What regrets do you have? Monks look down on warriors. Do you think warriors will raise their heads and look up at monks? Warriors are trained in the rivers and lakes, fighting life and death, happy and unhappy. I was alone at that time. Fighting against the Dafeng navy, he retreated and was seriously injured. If it were not for the help of many Dafeng warriors, it would have been impossible to go to the Dajing Dynasty alive. After thousands of miles of experience, some people have certain things, and they will never forget them once they meet. It would be best, if we can meet again, that would be even better. And what about you monks who are above me? What do you mean? It’s so pathetic and ridiculous.”
"Pindao doesn't agree with this view." Lotus Crown Taoist said with a smile: "Who said that monks can only sit in seclusion and cannot travel around the world. What about Pindao?"
"There are only a few like you after all." Yao Tiao said softly.
"Over the years, I have traveled around the world together. I have walked many roads and read many stories. I believe more and more that there is indeed great beauty in the world. The reason why I say this is because most of the entanglements in the world are caused by fame and fortune. , and only those who are free and self-satisfied can appreciate the true beauty of the world. Whether it is ordinary people, emperors, or even great monks, they are all human beings in the final analysis. Although the world is divided into mountains and mountains, immortals Home and worldly life, but in the final analysis, there are still two words, that is, the human world. The reason why I chose to travel back then was because on the one hand, I had to find fairy treasures to fill the huge hole in the Lotus Cave, and on the other hand, I was provoked by the flies and dogs brought by power. I'm tired of it. Look at me now, being a carefree shopkeeper, how comfortable I am. Although I am a Taoist and a monk, my spiritual practice is roughly the same as your martial arts. I travel thousands of miles and meet all kinds of people. The journey is practice.”
After Yao Tiao quietly listened to this long speech, he nodded and said, "If you say that, it's hard for me not to have a good impression of you."
Lotus Crown Dao turned around and said with a smile: "So, monks don't have to sit still. I might as well reveal to you that if you practice Qi, you must be an extremely talented swordsman, although it is not as good as the best in the world. That group of sword cultivators has few rivals in the world. Just like you now, it is certain that you will be ranked in the top ten in the martial arts review. How about you think about it? Since you like to travel, you can travel far and wide as a sword cultivator with a sword. Isn’t it beautiful?”
"If I agree, what will you do?" Yao Tiao asked.
Taoist Lotus Crown looked at him sincerely, "I will help you abolish your martial arts cultivation first, and then you can practice again."
Yao Ting smiled but said, "Looking for trouble at night, right?"
The Lotus Crown Taoist touched his head and actually touched the lotus crown with his hand. He pretended to be stupid and said, "Looking for trouble? Where is the trouble? Why are you looking for trouble?"
Yao Tiao stopped talking nonsense and punched him with full force, straight in the face.
The Lotus Crown Taoist flicked the lotus crown and instantly brought Yao Tiao into a small world isolated from heaven and earth.
"You called me to the stern of the boat late at night and said a lot of incomprehensible words. Now you isolate me in this world of yours. What on earth do you want to do?"
Lotus Crown Taoist smiled and said: "There are gods three feet above the head, and some things can only be said behind closed doors. Yao Tiao, you still don't know the true purpose of our prince's trip, do you?"
Yao Tiao frowned slightly.
"Wang Sizhi, the red-eyed woman who killed Wu Peixian in the battle of Fanke Mountain, who would have thought that her true identity is the co-master of Shinto who was destroyed along with Shinto ten thousand years ago. She now occupies the entire Qingfen Mountain, as the last one who can The ascension platform connecting heaven and earth, when the time is right, she will ascend and re-establish the divine way."
Lotus Crown Taoist took a step forward, and suddenly there were two more identical ones beside him. The one on the left was wearing a sword and his hair was loose, and the one on the right was holding a whisk, looking like an immortal.
"These are my two avatars, both are great monks of the Eighth Realm. One person has three Eighth Realms. Although I haven't found an opportunity to reach the Ninth Realm yet, I can still briefly join the Ninth Realm with this, and I am higher than Zhao Bingnie. Half realm, this is where warriors are far inferior to monks. After the ferry arrives at Fanke Mountain, an evil will break out immediately. My master, the Confucian one, the Buddhist one, will all show up without any accident. . To put it bluntly, I am still an ant in front of these big guys. What about you, Yao Tiao? You may die in an instant. I will only give you advice once. It is up to you whether you listen or not. Yao Tiao, I will take you there. Princess Nanzhao, please go back. This level is no longer something you can mix with. As for the last piece of Nanzhao's luck, it is very likely that it has been eaten by the Shinto co-master, but don't worry, I can secretly arrange the marriage line for her in her next life. In her next life and yours, the two of you can still meet again and become a couple of gods and immortals."
Yao Tiao continued to sneer, "Will she still be her in the next life? You pure-minded Taoists know nonsense."
Just as Master Lotus Crown was about to speak, Yao Tiao had already stepped in front of him and punched with great force!
This punch hit Taoist Lotus Crown firmly on the chest, making a huge dull sound.
Taoist Lotus Crown remained motionless, not even taking half a step back, but Yao Tiao was bounced away.
"I have seen too many geniuses. You, Yao Tiao, are also a genius that is rare in a century. But how could a poor man be worse than you? Otherwise, it would be impossible to become that disciple. Oh, I forgot to tell you that I once used twenty I spent a lot of time training a clone of the seventh level of martial arts, but martial arts is a dead end after all. It is a waste of energy and meaningless to continue practicing, so I gave that martial arts aura to a little girl who was about to freeze to death in the alley. The reason for doing this is because the poorer the people are, the more compassionate they are. And the little girl who almost didn't survive the winter was adopted by the empress of the Dajing Dynasty and has now grown into the master of the Iron Armored Pagoda. General. And the reason why she became an orphan is because you, who was only a fourth-grade little grandmaster back then, accidentally implicated the young couple in trouble, but were unable to protect them, so an innocent family suffered an unreasonable disaster. "
"Some walls can only be turned back after you hit your head and bleed. The same is true for you Yao Tiao. Since then, you have gradually transformed from a wild and unruly young man into an elegant boxing immortal in white. Others don't know, but I know , it was your paranoia that led to the tragic death of that family. At this moment, we are only a hundred miles away from Qingfen Mountain and can be reached before dawn. Do you still want to take the same risk as you did decades ago? You Have you not considered whether the consequences can be endured?"
Yao Tiao clenched his fists and trembled slightly.
"I have done everything that needs to be said. I have done everything that needs to be done. Where to go is of course up to your will. The reason why I have a kind heart to be a good person and am willing to waste my words is because your father, Yao Tiao, is forty. Years ago, Da Feng, a recognized boxing immortal in the world, taught me a truth. I don’t want to be in debt, that’s all.”
The originally dark little world disappeared, and the two men reappeared at the stern of the ship. The moon in the sky seems to be brighter than before, and the bright and clear light is shining down, and the ground is like frost and snow.
"Finally, I will arrive at Qingfen Mountain tomorrow morning. If you want to leave, you can come to me anytime."
After finishing speaking, Master Lotus Crown turned and left.
In fact, there are still many words that he has not said yet, because they are all old things, and it doesn't matter whether he mentions them or not.
"His Royal Highness should be in seclusion, right?" Thinking of this, he was ready to take a look.
So he took one step forward and came to the door, and then met the eyes of Gui Qing who was guarding the road.
Lotus Crown Taoist smiled and said sincerely: "If your Royal Highness is tired, you can change to a poor Taoist. Refining the natal object is not easy, not to mention it is a very high-grade Immortal Killing Sword. It is estimated that it will take a long time."
"No need."
Gui Qing simply replied with two words.
Knowing that she could not trust him, Master Lotus Crown stopped saying anything, turned around and disappeared.
Gradually, the stars and the moon lost their light, and there was no light on the earth. There was only darkness that could not be seen and silence that could hear a needle drop.
Only the ferry was still running.
All night long, Master Lotus Crown sat on the bow of the boat without waiting for Yao Tiao.
There was also a woman who stayed up all night. When she was tired, she would hug her knees and lean against the door to rest for a while, still silently watching the people in the room.
When the sky dawned, Yao Tiao and Princess Nanzhao went out together and found the Taoist with the lotus crown on the bow of the boat.
Surprisingly, the couple did not come to ask to leave, but expressed a resolute attitude.
That is, no matter what kind of danger they face, he and she will never separate, not just this time, but always in these years.
If you want to live together, live together, if you want to die, then die together, it’s no big deal.
The ferry slowed down and when the sun rose, it would cross the border to Qingfen Mountain.
At this moment, through the thick fog, one can already see the most strange and majestic mountains located on the dividing line between the north and south of the Dafeng Dynasty.
Gui Qing suddenly narrowed her eyes.
A dazzling beam of light fell from the sky, it was as big as a mountain, and it contained terrifying rules of heaven and earth, so that the Lotus Crown Taoist, the green-robed Sword Master, and the white-robed Boxing Immortal, three of the top ten masters in the world, had to join forces to meet it.
All three of them tried their best, but the beam of light only froze for a moment.
"This is the strength above the Nine Realms!" Lotus Crown Taoist's heart was filled with despair.
The green-shirted swordsman pressed his sword against each other. The sword shattered inch by inch, and his skin also cracked open inch by inch due to the tremendous pressure.
Yao Tiao was not much better, covered in blood and his fists had turned into mud.
Guiqing stood up.
The moment the light beam hit, there was nothing visible between heaven and earth except the dazzling white light that burned your eyes.
Suddenly, everyone saw a very fine golden line crossing.
Then the white light instantly shattered, and the terrifying coercion that contained the rules of heaven and earth disappeared.
A man stood on the bow of the ship, holding Zhu Xian in his hand. His pure golden eyes were like a high-altitude god.
The pressure he exuded was far more terrifying than that beam of light that destroyed the world.
At this moment, even a hundred Zhao Bingnie could only be affected by his sword.
Gui Qing subconsciously pronounced a very memorable word, "Eleven."
Then everyone present heard a warm words, "Everyone, I have reached the eleventh realm."
