In the sky, clouds covered the moon.
An oil lamp was lit in a newly built Taoist temple east of Zuzhou Stone City. The oil lamp swayed, illuminating the center of the six- to seven-foot-wide hall.
At this time, a bloody and terrifying head suddenly appeared on a sandalwood incense table in the hall. The blood was flowing down the corner of the table. It looked nothing like something that should be in a Taoist temple.
The muscles of that head were still twitching, and the eyes were wide open with anger, as if they were dying with eyes open.
Four figures dressed in black and wearing scarlet masks slowly emerged.
Several men in black, covered with red scarves, stood in the empty hall at the four corners of the incense table as soon as they appeared, without making any sound. It was obvious that all of them were people with extraordinary cultivation.
They looked away, standing there like sculptures, motionless and silent.
The air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
At this time, two people walked in from outside the hall.
One is wearing a purple robe, and the other is wearing white clothes.
Hong Feiluan followed suit, bending down and walking slowly behind the purple-robed man from outside the hall.
The man in purple robe looked at the bloody head. He seemed to have become accustomed to such a gloomy and terrifying environment and the mysterious man in black.
"What I want is not a head, but something! Have you found it?"
The man in purple robe opened his mouth, feeling gloomy and cold.
A man in black took out a bright red heart that was frozen in ice and said to the man in purple: "I got it, but I don't know if it can break through Yafuzi's restriction."
"You'll know if you try it." The purple-robed man said quietly.
A man in black stopped talking, but the man in purple saw it and said, "Say!"
The man in black reported carefully: "Although I got the thing, it also attracted attention. A little monster chased me, but it was temporarily led to the Song family by the third child. I don't know if Gu Chu will notice it."
The man in purple robe thought for a moment and said, "Come on and add more fire."
Suddenly, there was a roaring sound in the distance.
The sound was as thin as a gossamer, but it was sharp and harsh, shocking the heart and soul.
At first it sounded like it was miles away, but in the blink of an eye, it was already in the main hall. What is the fastest movement technique in the world? Hong Feiluan didn't know, but the only thing that could cross such a long distance in a moment was the wind, restricted by Yafuzi's rules. It was coming in an instant.
The whistling sound disappeared, and a white light flashed in the hall. A ghost-like scholar had appeared in front of the purple-robed man. The scholar was wearing a white round-necked Confucian robe and a Confucian crown on his head. , extremely elegant.
The Minister of the Ministry of Rites of Daqing and the Superintendent of Nanxue——Qingfeng Xulai.
Spring breeze fifty.
Xu Lai knelt down on the ground and saluted: "My lord, I atone for my sins. I was tripped up by the prince, and I am late."
The man in purple robe glanced at Xu Lai on the ground with his terrifying sharp eyes, and let out a cold and sly smile.
The laughter, although low-pitched, reached Xu Lai's ears and heart.
Xu Lai's body trembled slightly.
"Xu Shangshu is really becoming more and more powerful, will he still care about the call of the poor Taoist?" The purple-robed man said sadly.
"I know my mistake, please punish me!" Xu Lai said with trembling lips.
"Oh? What's wrong with you?" the purple-robed man said.
"This subordinate is useless! I haven't found that place yet." Xu Lai said with slightly trembling hands.
"Useless... I usually kill useless people. There are only a dozen or so of the hundred people following me now. Aren't the others all dead because of being useless? So, do you still want to be a useless person?" The man in purple robe laughed. asked.
"I will find it in ten days." Xu Lai said solemnly.
"No need, just take care of Zhang Jian's affairs and let Hong Feiluan look for him, how about that?"
Xu Lai raised his head and glanced at Hong Feiluan, and saw that the latter was looking at him with disdain. He knew that it was the eunuch who was responsible. However, the Lord had already spoken, and he did not dare to refuse, so he reluctantly responded: "I obey my orders."
The man in purple robe asked again: "I heard that you were injured by a thief a few days ago?"
"Yes!" Xu Lai responded obediently.
"Logically speaking, you are holding the 'Confucian Temple' and the restrictions on you are the smallest. Why are you still injured by a mere thieves." The purple-robed man asked with some confusion.
Xu Lai thought to himself, "Isn't it because you hurt three souls? I'm embarrassed to ask!"
But thinking about it in his heart, he couldn't say that, so he said: "The thief's body method is very weird. He accidentally got caught, but his identity has been found out. He didn't come for us. I think he just stole things."
"You'd better put away those little thoughts of yours and don't cause unnecessary problems." The man in purple robe said bluntly.
Then he ignored Xu Lai and said to the four men in black: "You all go back first and find someone to keep an eye on the little monster. Gu Ju won't come in person. Keep an eye on the other guys, such as... cats."
"yes!"
The four figures gradually disappeared.
Xu Lai was sent away again.
At this moment, only the purple-robed man and Hong Feiluan were left in the hall.
Hong Feiluan looked mysterious and asked: "My Lord, why didn't you tell Xu Lai that he had been found?"
The man in purple robe shook his head and said: "This Xu Lai's ambition is just as big as that of his master Yan Fu. Yan Fu wants the world to return to Confucianism, while this kid wants the world to return to benevolence, but he has only the right to be benevolent. Although he himself has some scheming, if he is too willful, he is stupid! There is no difference between telling and not telling. "
Then he said again: "Fei Luan, do you know why I like you?"
Hong Feiluan looked flattered and said, "I don't know."
"Because you are calm enough and despicable enough to achieve great things. If you are despicable but not calm, you are a villain. If you are calm but not despicable, you are too pedantic. Only someone like you can do good things. Besides, you have been up the mountain, so you are considered mine." Disciple." The man in purple robe explained.
Hong Feiluan said: "Thank you, Master, for your appreciation!"
The man in purple robe suddenly remembered something and said, "I still have some things to do tomorrow. You can go and see how strong the seal is tomorrow."
"yes!"
The man in purple robe left, and Hong Feiluan cleaned up the human head and blood stains on the table, and said to himself: "There are really four evil spirits, they have to bring this head back to show off!"

Qin Xian's injury has improved greatly in the past few days under the care of Congratulations. She is also the medicine god of Grandpa Ge. The wound has scabbed. Although there is a scar, it has completely healed.
I have been living with the old man recently. In addition to sleeping every day, I read the Sword Sutra given by the old man.
Congratulations! Senior brother secretly told him that no matter the Sword Sutra or Kung Fu, don't practice even half a book, otherwise something could happen easily!
But Qin Xian felt that Grandpa Ge would not lie to her, so she said it didn't matter.
Seeing congratulations couldn't defeat him, so I stopped saying them.
But now that he knew the Sword Scripture by heart, he still couldn't pick up the Goddess Sword.
It still lay beside the stone table.
However, Qin Xian would wipe the sword body every day to prevent it from gathering dust, and she took such great care of it.
Congratulations and jokingly said that if Qin Xian marries a wife, she must be a henpecked person.
But before Qin Xian could refute, the old man threw the congratulations far away.
Qin Xian stared at the six big characters on the first page of the Sword Book, dazed.
Half of the Sword Book actually only talks about one move, "Sword Power Goddess Splitting View". Qin Xian still doesn't understand what this sword power is.
When asked to congratulate the senior brother, the senior brother said that he didn’t know either.
I can only trouble Grandpa Ge again.
The old man looked at the young man with pleading eyes and said, "Do you know what cultivation is?"
Qin Xian said: "Control the power like a god."
"That's right, a point." The old man muttered.
"What about the other nine points?" Qin Xian asked.
"It is immortality. People in the world pursue spiritual practice not to kill people, but to seek their own immortality. No matter what sect or sect, although the path of practice is different, the starting point must be immortality, even if it is a dynasty emperor."
"But if family and friends are gone, what's the point of a person's immortality?" Qin Xian asked doubtfully.
"It's boring..." the old man said melancholy.
He seemed a little sad, and after a pause he added: "So the people who make it to the end are often the ones who have lost their love and sex. I'll leave this to you to realize in the future.
Let’s talk about the introduction to spiritual practice first. There are many spiritual sects in the world. There are Taoists, Confucians, Buddhists, and the Nine Streams. They all think that their own practice method is the best. As for why Taoists, Confucians, and Demons are in the front, it’s because they have produced ascended ones! As for Jiuliu, it is not nine factions, but a system of other factions besides these four directions, including martial arts.
Although each faction flaunts itself and promotes its own, after all, the cultivation is divided into building the foundation, opening the Tibet, absorbing the spirit, conquering the four realms of heaven, and the higher level is ascension.
In the four realms, although each sect has different names, their principles are similar, which is to strengthen oneself to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth! To find immortality is to live as long as heaven and earth, and to ascend is to transcend this world. "
"Where did you go after you ascended?" Qin Xian asked.
"I don't know. The ascended ones haven't come back. Maybe it's a very dangerous place." The old man said thoughtfully.
"Don't interrupt, just listen to me." The old man glared at Qin Xian and said.
The young man nodded obediently and kept silent.
"Each sect builds the foundation in different ways and has its own techniques. For example, the Taoist "Guigen Dharma", the Confucian "Primary Meng", the Buddhist "Zen Ding", the martial arts "Bashan Fist", etc. all teach people to build themselves for tolerance. Prepare for spiritual energy, and when you are able to accommodate a certain amount of spiritual energy, you have to open up a small world in your body to store them for use. This is the opening of storage. The small world in Taoism is the inner and outer golden elixir, Confucianism builds a school palace, and Buddhism casts Dharma, martial arts, hidden martial arts, etc., after these constructions are completed, they gradually absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and let more power of heaven and earth merge into it, which is to absorb the spirit. When the spirit reaches a certain level, the body of the small heaven and earth merges with the world outside the body, which is the world of seizing the world! It’s here! You will have a lifespan of five hundred years in the Seizing Heaven Realm. Doesn’t it sound simple?”
Qin Xian nodded. From what Grandpa Ge said, practicing cultivation is like building a house. You just need to lay the foundation and pile bricks on top until the pile is high enough to reach the sky, then it will ascend.
So the important thing is the foundation!
I don’t know how yet.
Qin Xian pondered for a moment and continued to ask: "Then if I don't build the foundation, will I not be able to learn the Sword Sutra?"
The old man sighed and said: "Originally I had the "Return to the Root", but I exchanged it for these linen papers a few years ago, but even if I still give it to you now, you can't use it. Confucian dolls are forbidden, and you can't communicate with heaven and earth. Spiritual."
