Xia Chengyi had a confused look on his face, and some of the monks were confused. They couldn't figure out what kind of medicine this little boy with resentful eyes was selling in his gourd, so he asked curiously: "What are you doing with your hands?"
The kid in gold rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Form a contract!"
"What?"
Xia Chengyi was even more confused now. This kid in gold clothes looked quite smart and intelligent. Why was there a sense of stupidity in his words? Could he really be a big fool?
Lu Ran held back his smile on the side and explained: "He wants to make a heavenly covenant with you. To put it simply, both are prosperous and prosperous. If something goes wrong with you, he will be the same as the Ni Bodhisattva who crosses the river and cannot save himself. There may even be dangers. Maybe the path between life and death will disappear.”
The kid in gold clothes couldn't help but feel sad after hearing Lu Ran's explanation, and said angrily in his heart, "What the hell is this!" Young Master, I was deceived into taking a second look. I lost my wife at the expense of her and didn't say anything about it, but even got myself involved. It's good now. This silly boy doesn't know how difficult the road ahead will be.
He looked at Xia Chengyi with a complicated expression, and the conversation Lu Ran had with him just now came to his mind.
"You just need to remember that you should not take action unless it is absolutely necessary. The more you rely on external forces, the more bad you will do to him."
"Why?"
"If there is an evil dragon in the heart, use benevolence as a cage, trap it with virtue, educate it with wind, teach it with sincerity, and guide it with propriety. If the dragon wants to soar into the abyss, the cage of benevolence will not be broken."
"What's the origin of that black dragon...?"
"Can't say."
Just as the boy in golden clothes was still lamenting that the boy's future cultivation path would be long and difficult, Xia Chengyi's next words almost made him angry to death.
Xia Chengyi thought for a while and asked aloud: "Does that mean I have to sleep with him in the future?"
The golden boy looked astonished. He had never imagined that the young man would have such bizarre thoughts. At this moment, he was ready to kill himself headlong.
Lu Ran waved his hand and laughed out loud: "There is no need to sleep together. He is the sword spirit born from this sword. After you form a contract with him, you will recognize him as the master. You will be his number one in the future." Whatever the master.”
Lu Ran deliberately concealed the identity of the boy in gold from the boy. It wasn't that Lu Ran didn't trust the boy, but that the identity of the boy in gold was indeed too special. If he told Xia Chengyi the truth, he might be killed in the future.
The golden boy's expression collapsed. At this moment, he only felt that he had been on a pirate ship, and his future was gloomy. He said feebly: "Now you can reach out your hand..."
Because his right hand was holding a sword, Xia Chengyi had no choice but to stretch out his bloody left hand. The kid in golden clothes also stretched out his golden palm to give Xia Chengyi a high-five. After the kid in golden clothes high-fived, Xia Chengyi's left hand, which was bloody and fleshy and with white bones visible, was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye. In an instant, the wound was gone. It disappeared, leaving only a faint scar. At the same time, there was a colorful halo in the palm, and the entire palm was filled with light.
Xia Chengyi looked shocked. This was the first time he had seen this kind of magical treatment. If he learned this magical technique, he would not need to see a doctor for treatment in the future, which would save a lot of money.
The golden boy couldn't help but look a little proud when he saw Lu Ran was stunned speechless by his move.
Look, what does it mean to be a country bumpkin without knowledge? I just showed my hand a little and was completely impressed. If you know my true identity, you are not allowed to kneel down and kowtow to me?
As soon as I took action, the world shook! Two sleeves wrapped with spring thunder, one day shocking.
Hey, the master is lonely!
The kid in golden clothes on the side clasped his hands behind his back and looked up at the sky, looking like an immortal with an air of immortality.
Lu Ran knelt down, looked straight into the young man's clear and bright eyes, and asked in a deep voice: "Xia Chengyi, the road you are going to take in the future will be extremely difficult and dangerous, and you will also suffer a lot. The road ahead will be bumpy, will you feel it?" Fear?"
The young man smiled brightly, "I'm not afraid of hardship!"
Lu Ran felt relieved when he thought about the difficulty the young man had had along the way. He slowly stood up and said with a smile, "In that case, why not give this sword a name?"
Xia Chengyi scratched his head. For a young man who didn't have any ink in his stomach, it was really difficult for him to name him.
The young man thought for a long time and said softly: "Then let's call it... Ruyi?"
Lu Ran smiled and nodded.
The kid in golden clothes covered his face, hugged his head and sighed. What had happened to him? He had been locked up in this inhospitable place for a thousand years. As soon as he came out, he met a charcoal boy with weird behavior and a man who was brutal. Unreasonable Confucian disciple, could it be that he has been sleeping for thousands of years and the world has completely changed? The kid in gold clothes began to wonder if it had really been too long since he had seen the current world.
Seeing the aggrieved look on the kid's face, the young man scratched his head and said, "Then... how about Qingfeng?"
Before the boy could change his mind, the boy in gold jumped up to three feet high, raised his head and raised his chest and said loudly: "Good Qingfeng! Let's call it Qingfeng! From now on, I will be called Xia Qingfeng!"
Although the kid in gold clothes felt that the name "Qingfeng" was still not worthy of his status and not stylish enough, but the swarthy boy's naming skills were as low as a stone in a latrine.
Xia Chengyi felt a little regretful that he failed to name it "Ruyi". The word "Ruyi" was a name that Xia Chengyi thought about for a long time.
"The gentle breeze is coming, satisfying your heart and soul."
When the young man finished speaking, Lu Ran swiped his fingers and took out a drop of blood from Xia Chengyi's palm, slowly dripping on the sword body. The long sword cheered for joy and suddenly glowed, as gorgeous as Danxia. Xia Qingfeng, a boy in golden clothes, also turned into a stream of light and flew into the flying sword. The flying sword, which was already surrounded by stream of light, now shone brightly, and the world was filled with this shocking flash.
At the same time, there is also an ancient seal inscription that appears on the hilt of the sword. The silver thread on the sword body is flowing, as bright as the bright moon and as clear as a mirror. It is called "Qingfeng".
Lu Ran waved his sleeves, and a green bamboo scabbard appeared out of thin air in front of him. He handed the green bamboo scabbard to Xia Chengyi.
Xia Chengyi took the scabbard, his hands were cool and silky. He held the hilt and slowly pushed the "Qingfeng" into the scabbard. The light rippled and the sword returned to its sheath, hiding the sharp edge.
Lu Ran touched the young man's head and said softly: "With a sharp weapon in your hand, you have the intention to kill. You have to remember that the sword in your hand is to better reason with others. Whenever you pick up the sword, think about whether you should Yes, can it, can't it? If you can live with your heart, then just do it according to your heart."
The reason why Lu Ran said these words to Xia Chengyi was firstly to enable the young man to keep his true intention in his future cultivation, and secondly to restrain the evil dragon from rising in the young man's heart. It is said that in the beginning of man's nature, there is neither good nor evil. , and later teach to be kind.
This black dragon is the evil side of the young man. It is born by absorbing the spiritual energy in the young man's aura. At the same time, it will also absorb the resentment in the young man's heart. This is why ordinary monks are blind and cannot see through the young man's qualifications.
However, it is because the young man has a clear and sincere heart that the evil dragon has been suppressed in his heart. However, as the boy grows older, the evil dragon has the potential to break through. Lu Ran gave the "Benevolence" seal to Xia Chengyi this time with the intention of using it as a cage to suppress the evil dragon. However, as Xia Chengyi's cultivation improved in the future, the shackles on the evil dragon would only become looser. , I am afraid that it will completely break out of the cage by then. Lu Ran said this in the hope that when the time comes in the future, the good side of the young man's nature will outweigh the evil side.
Xia Chengyi thought for a while and asked: "What if we talk to others unreasonably?"
Lu Ran smiled and said: "Then raise the three-foot sword to make them understand the truth."
Lu Ran is not one of those pedantic Confucians. On the contrary, although he is a disciple of Confucianism, he is most interested in grudges. If Lu Ran had not come to the town to strictly follow the four-character teaching of "justice and righteousness" and would not change the town without authorization based on his personal wishes. the fate of the people. Otherwise, in the hands of this Confucian sage, there would be no three surnamed clans in the town who would dominate, and they could all be slapped to death.
Xia Chengyi said seriously: "I have written down what you said. Although I don't understand what you said now, I will definitely follow your instructions in the future."
Lu Ran smiled and patted Xia Chengyi on the shoulder, "It doesn't matter, I don't expect you to understand what I said now. You will know when you use it in the future."
Xia Chengyi nodded confusedly.
Lu Ran put his hands behind his back, faced the sky and the earth, and said to himself in a low voice: "Here, the world has occupied the mountains and has been king for thousands of years. It doesn't matter who is right or wrong, but in the end it is still contaminated by cause and effect. The luck of thousands of years has finally come to pass. Not to mention that The demon monks, that is, the monks from various families in the Middle Earth Divine Continent are all eyeing this place. When the divinity awakens, they will fight for it as their own. The town is like a dilapidated thatched hut with wind leakage from all sides. As the owner of the house, I Not to mention protecting the entire house, we should keep this house from collapsing no matter what. But when the manpower will eventually be exhausted, it will be fine if we can keep the hut from falling down, but the lives of thousands of households in the small town will be Everything is in my hands, how can I take it lightly? They say that officials in secular dynasties are ruthless, but how can they compare to the monks who respect the great road for themselves and regard human life as nothing..."
At the end, the voice was as thin as a mosquito. Xia Chengyi strained his ears and couldn't hear clearly what Mr. Lu was saying.
"gentlemen?"
The middle-aged Confucian scholar with slightly frosty temples turned his head and said with a smile: "Yes."
Xia Chengyi saw that although the middle-aged Confucian scholar was smiling, he looked tired.
Xia Chengyi asked: "Sir, do you have something on your mind?"
Lu Ran was stunned for a moment, then said in a warm voice: "There are indeed some annoying and trivial things that have been accumulated in my heart."
Xia Chengyi asked in surprise: "Can someone like Mr. have troubles?"
Xia Chengyi felt that a scholar as knowledgeable and knowledgeable as Lu Ran should be an indomitable existence, but he could also have troubles?
Lu Ran smiled knowingly, "When people are at their limit, there is nothing they can do, not to mention that Mr. is only a rural school teacher. How many people can really do whatever they want? As the Buddha said, everything in the world is for hard work. .”
The young man gave a thumbs up and said: "In my opinion, Mr. is the most handsome scholar I have ever seen! Unlike those old and harsh old men."
Lu Ran smiled heartily and asked, "Sincerely?"
"That is required!"
