Lu Ran looked back and said with a smile: "I will leave this sword to you for safekeeping for the time being. How about it?"
The young chicken pecked at the rice, "Don't worry, sir, I will keep it safe! I hold it to sleep every day, so I'm sure it won't be stolen by that thief!"
Lu Ran laughed dumbly and shook his head, "It doesn't matter, it's just a long sword of low quality."
As soon as these words came out, the long sword in the young man's hand trembled slightly, and instantly a suffocating and suppressed sword energy leaked out.
The young man's breath was suffocated, and he felt a pair of golden eyes staring at him and Lu Ran from behind, like thorns piercing their backs.
Lu Ran said calmly: "Why, I can't tell you? You are just a ray of remnant soul and spiritual thought attached here. If you are not afraid of being erased, you can try it."
The momentum of the long sword suddenly dropped, like an eggplant beaten by frost, and a child in golden clothes suddenly appeared from the sword.
When the boy in gold saw Lu Ran, he put his hands on his hips and began to curse: "You sanctimonious hypocrites! You promised to let me out once the two thousand years are over, but now it's better. They shamelessly went back on their word and sealed me in this place." Inside the broken sword! Believe it or not, I will explode my spiritual thoughts and we will all be finished together!"
The kid in gold clothes got angrier and angrier as he talked, and in the end he was jumping to his feet while angrily scolding Lu Ran for his shamelessness.
Lu Ran looked at the kid in gold with a smile, "Would you like to give it a try?"
The boy in gold slumped his head and sat down on the ground, rolling around and saying: "I can't live this life anymore. I won't live if I don't live anymore! What's the point of living? I'll forget it if I die!"
Xia Chengyi looked on stunned.
Lu Ran said leisurely: "Protect this young man for a period of time. After that, you can choose to leave or continue to stay by his side to protect him."
The kid in gold clothes was doubtful and asked: "Really? Aren't you afraid of those old men in the Confucian Temple jumping around?"
In fact, the kid in gold clothes is like a bright mirror in his heart. He may be locked in this cage of heaven and earth for the rest of his life. This act is just to vent his dissatisfaction, but he still feels sorry for those old people who are sitting in the high hall of the Confucian Temple. fear.
Lu Ran said calmly: "You don't have to worry about these, I have my own means of dealing with them."
The kid in gold clothes then turned to look at Xia Chengyi.
Xia Chengyi also met the golden eyes of the boy in gold, and the boy straightened his back instinctively.
The kid in golden clothes walked around Xia Chengyi and looked him up and down: "Tsk tsk, Lu Ran, are you an old fool, or are you at the end of your rope? Why did you find such a young man with mediocre qualifications to be your direct disciple?"
Xia Chengyi looked sad.
Lu Ran looked at the kid in gold with a half-smile, "Look again?"
The kid in gold clothes condensed when he heard this, and he used his magical power with his fingers. His eyes shone brightly, the golden threads floated away, and a little golden light attached to Xia Chengyi's body. The young man felt a warm current flowing through his body.
Lu Ran explained: "This is a qi-gazing technique. It can be used to see people's bones and faces. People with advanced skills can use this technique to see people's past and present lives. It is a technique practiced by Taoist monks."
The young man nodded confusedly.
And that golden light followed the young man's Qi Mansion and reached the young man's heart.
The young man's inner lake is not as clear as that of ordinary mortals, or a monk's stone stirs up thousands of waves. The young man's inner lake is like a deep spring with no bottom. At the same time, the sky above the inner lake is calm and calm, with no sails in sight.
The heart lake is the place where the mind is thinking. Everything you observe and think about forms a scene in the heart lake. It is like painting on paper. Whether it is harmonious or not depends entirely on the skill of the painter.
There was once a Buddhist practitioner who practiced hard for thousands of years, visualized a bodhi tree, and finally realized the truth of crossing a river with a reed; a vigorous scholar, towering mountains towering over the lake in his heart, reaching into the sky, and rising up in the wind with a long roar; The scholar who is depressed and goes back to the fields to live in seclusion. There are thousands of peach and willow trees planted on the lake in his heart. The spring breeze blows in the willows and thousands of flowers bloom. He lies drunk on the stone platform and recites poems. There is the heroic poet drinking wine and writing poems to draw the palace in the sky. There are five cities on the second floor, spreading sword energy for thirty thousand miles.
Therefore, for monks, creating the scenery of the inner lake is the key to reaching heaven. Whether they can visualize and copy those landscapes involves the direction of the great road.
Just when the kid in golden clothes was about to take back this piece of golden consciousness, under the calm ripples of the heart lake, there was a black snake's trunk slowly swimming under the lake. The black snake was thousands of feet long, and its body was covered with black scales. , and the reason why the young man's heart lake is deep and bottomless is because this black snake is entrenched under the young man's heart lake. The head of the black snake, as huge as a mountain peak, slowly emerged from the lake, but it was so big that it could only reveal its head, not its true face.
The black snake's scarlet eyes stared intently at the spiritual avatar of the golden boy, like an eagle seeing a chicken, and a majestic and suffocating aura filled the world.
The boy in golden clothes suddenly realized that the black snake he saw in front of him was a black dragon that was ten thousand feet long!
The black dragon emerged from the water, and a huge head with horns was facing the kid in gold. I saw it opening its big mouth and spitting out a thick bolt of lightning that was several feet long and heading straight for the kid in gold. At the same time, the waves on the lake were also turbulent and the wind and clouds were changing.
The boy in golden clothes had never seen such a scene before. The inner lake of ordinary monks was nothing more than the scenery of mountains, rivers, wind and moon. However, there was actually a giant black dragon directly above the inner lake of this boy in rough clothes!
Lu Ran, your grandma, how dare you cheat me! The kid in gold clothes cursed Lu Ran in his heart. At the same time, he put his fingers together to form a long sword, and condensed a long sword with pure spiritual energy. The sword energy swept across the sky, dragging out bursts of golden light, and suddenly arrived, slashing towards the lightning. The sword energy was like rain falling on the sea, and there was no ripple on the lightning. And the speed of the lightning was not slowing down, and it had the potential to strike the golden-clothed boy like five thunderbolts.
At the critical moment, a voice sounded between heaven and earth.
"presumptuous!"
As this voice fell, golden scriptures appeared in the four directions of the world. There were various classics in the scriptures. The little boy in gold felt dizzy when he saw them. He closed his eyes tightly and concentrated his mind before returning to normal. And those scriptures suddenly shined brightly, and the words in each book seemed to be given life, forming a shackles of heaven and earth to suppress the black dragon, tightly fitting together.
The Confucian scholar in blue suddenly appeared above the heaven and earth, his sleeves fluttering.
At the same time, a huge seal with golden light appeared between the sky and the earth. It was square and square, covering the sky and the sun. On it was engraved a word "benevolence", which was simple and majestic. The boy in gold could vaguely feel the majesty from it. With the aura of Heavenly Dao, a person like him can be said to be like a cat eating a mouse to Heavenly Dao. When an eagle sees a chicken, it is too late to hide, but he unexpectedly bumps into it with his own eyes.
"town!"
Following Lu Ran's order, the seal hit the black dragon's head heavily. In just a moment, the huge body was smashed into the lake, and a thousand-foot-high water splash was rolled up. The huge head was also smashed to pieces with blood and flesh, and the spiritual energy was Overflowing.
That seal is like a Buddha suppressing a demon, firmly holding the black dragon under the lake. No matter how loud it roars, it cannot break the shackles!
The evil dragon in the heart uses benevolence as a cage.
The kid in gold clothes looked on with his eyes twitching. He only hated himself for listening to Lu Ran's slander and insisting on committing suicide to enter this young man's heart.
After Lu Ran finished all this, he slowly turned around and looked at the kid in gold.
Only then did the boy in gold realize that Lu Ran no longer looked like the middle-aged Confucian scholar before, but a rich and handsome scholar. He was dressed in a green shirt and wore a high bun on top of his hair. There is a jade hairpin, which exudes an overbearing arrogance, as if no one else is its opponent in the eyes, only the way of heaven can compete with it.
This is the first time that the boy in gold has seen Lu Ran with such an expression. In the past hundred years, Lu Ran has always been a school teacher who is calm and unsmiling. If we really want to talk about his temperament, it is different from the past few years. Ren's order-bearing saint, Lu Ran, has the kind of bookishness that belongs only to scholars, but now the boy in gold has seen another side of Lu Ran.
Lu Ran put away his breath and asked, "Can I protect Xia Chengyi for a while now?"
The kid in golden clothes slapped his chest and shouted loudly: "Yes! It must be possible!"
How dare he say no now? If he hadn't entered this world and seen Lu Ran's magical powers, he might have refused. But he had just seen how Lu Ran suppressed the evil dragon. Give him a hundred I don’t even have the guts to say no!
Lu Ran nodded slowly, with no sadness or joy on his face, "Since you have agreed, then swear by the law of heaven."
"What!"
The kid in gold clothes looked angry and roared: "Lu Ran, don't go too far!"
Although he was separated from the divinity of that bullshit predecessor, he was still a ray of divine thought from that person. Now he was asked to swear by the way of heaven. If he dared to swear, would that young man dare to accept it?
Lu Ran glanced at the kid in gold clothes, put his hands behind his back, and his face was as bright as a crown jewel. He said calmly: "It's okay if you don't agree. It's just a matter of waiting for a thousand years for the consciousness to be completely wiped out and dissipated between heaven and earth." , when the time comes, there will no longer be a name for true martial arts in the world, so please think carefully."
The kid in golden clothes had a gloomy face and an uncertain expression, "I dare to swear, does that young man dare to take the oath? Is he not afraid of the backlash from heaven?"
Lu Ran repeated what he said to the kid in gold clothes before, "How about giving it a try?"
The kid in gold clothes gritted his teeth for the last time, "Okay, okay! Young master, I will risk my life to accompany the gentleman and make a bet!"
————
The avatar of consciousness attached to Xia Chengyi's body retreated from the young man's body and returned to the heart lake of the child in gold.
The kid in gold clothes looked at Xia Chengyi with a complicated expression. His eyes seemed resentful, painful, and helpless.
Xia Chengyi felt a little creepy when he stared at him. He had heard Zhong Quan say that the cut sleeves were good before. Wouldn't this child-like child be as good as Long Yang?
If the boy in gold knew what Xia Chengyi was thinking at this moment, he might risk being killed by Lu Ran to slap this ignorant boy to death!
After struggling for a while, the kid in gold clothes said helplessly: "Stretch out your hand..."
