Sword comes

The ancestral mountain of the Dragon Elephant Sword Sect is called Zhujing. The soil and rocks are bright red. In the morning and evening, there are often red clouds like a dragon on the water, circling the mountain and looking at the sea. The other peaks are towering like green bamboos. Thirty-six kinds of clouds emerge from the top of the mountain, transforming into different mirages. The palaces and pavilions with fairy air draw water day and night. The sea water hits the cliff, stirring up waves like flying snow. What a beautiful jade mountain of clouds and water, with all things as guests, the universe floating day and night, and the sound of hometown.

Chen Pingan walked quickly to Liu Tui and his group, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "We meet again after parting at Quanjiao Mountain."

Liu Tui and the others returned the greetings, calling them Yinguan, Mountain Master, Chen Jianxian, etc.

Many unfamiliar faces stopped looking at them with interest, or simply ignored Liu Tui and the others with a distant attitude, and followed Chen Pingan to face the visitors. As for the polite greetings, forget it, as their relationship was not that good.

Qi Tingji did not deliberately conceal the existence of this group of private swords from Liu Tui, but this was the first time the two sides actually met. When Liu Tui came to the Dragon Elephant Sword Sect to participate in the sect celebration last time, Gao Shuang, Zhu Su and others had not yet come to Haoran Tianxia, ​​and they stayed in Xuangong Fudi afterwards. Even Wu Manyan and others were only able to see the true appearance of these sword immortals not long ago thanks to the help of the old boatman.

Liu Tui hesitated for a moment, but still did not use words to express his inner thoughts. He said openly, "Now that Bixiao Mountain has been determined to belong to us, Tianyao Township has been worried for thousands of years, and finally it has settled down with this ancestral mountain. It is like a rebirth. I, Liu Tui, owe Chen Yinguan a favor, as well as the founder of the mountain and the ancestors of all generations. They are the incense of the Taoist tradition of our entire Tianyao Township."

"From now on, as long as I, Liu Tui, am still the sect leader, then the 2,700-plus pedigree monks in Tianyao Township and Liuxiazhou will be at your command without hesitation. As long as they are not rebelling against the Confucian Temple, I guarantee that Chen Yinguan will take care of everything."

"These words may seem empty and pretentious, but they are not false at all to Liu Tui. Sect Master Qi can help to testify and vouch for them."

Qi Tingji smiled and nodded, "Master Chen, guest official Qi Tingji can be Liu Tui's guarantor. In the three western continents, there is a widely circulated saying that Liu Tui's words can be used directly as banknotes."

Chen Pingan said with a smile: "How dare the younger generation to dispatch Tianyao Township casually? If there is something you really want, we must discuss it with you."

Liu Tui was a little confused. What did the term "master's guest official" mean? When did Qi Tingji become a guest official of Luopu Mountain?

Nie Cui'e was shocked by Liu Tui's words. What did he mean by "everything is fine except rebellion"? What was the weird idea of ​​taking the Bixiao Mountain, the ancestral mountain of Tianyao Township, into his pocket?

Jinghao knew the old almanac of Bixiao Mountain, but deliberately did not reveal it to Nie Cui'e and Gao Geng. It was better to be ignorant than to know such a secret. For example, Qinggong Mountain was also just leased. Apart from the oral transmission between the two generations of mountain owners, there was no possibility that a third person would know it.

The reason why Liu Tui felt uncomfortable was because he knew very well what kind of people were standing on the observation deck, Ning Yao, Qi Tingji, and Lu Zhi. Not to mention the man who was on land and handed two swords to the sea, and the girl in the mink hat beside him, who was also a powerful swordsman with high Taoism.

Liu Tui was extremely sensitive to his fellow sages in terms of their styles. He could clearly see the look, the demeanor, and especially the subtle tone of the girl with the sable hat and the strange name. Liu Tui knew that she was definitely the most ruthless among all the swordsmen in this group, and her swordsmanship was at least the same as Qi Tingji's.

When Liu Tui was young, by chance he learned an ancient art of physiognomy, which was to identify people by their voices.

This "Xie Gou" is definitely a ruthless person.

The term "mountaintop cultivator" is often used in a vague way. Even though they are on the same mountaintop, there are actually different levels of cultivators. It is just a matter of talking about the strong ones ascending and the weak ones ascending. The difference of one word cannot be measured in miles.

He looked down on Shu Nanyuan, the new ascender from Tianyu Cave Heaven. He thought that people like Lu Zhi who were ascenders with the title of "pure swordsman" would look down on Liu Tui from Tianyao Township.

Nie Cui'e felt awkward, she seemed even more out of place than Liu Tui. Overwhelmed by the invisible aura, her heart was stagnant. In addition to her low realm, it was also because she was not a sword cultivator, and there were too many sword cultivators at this moment.

After all, she was a young jade raw material who had heard the word "genius" so many times that her ears were callused since she started climbing mountains at a young age. She was also a disciple of Jing Hao, an old ascender and the Taoist master of a continent. When she arrived at the square outside the ancestral hall of the Dragon Elephant Sword Sect, Nie Cui'e didn't even think of speaking.

Fortunately, she finally saw that a heroic figure like Liu Tui could also be "defeaten". She was greatly surprised, but at the same time, she felt more relaxed. Her mind was filled with one sentence: Liu Tui, are you going to end up like this anyway?

On the contrary, the three sword cultivators including Hua Qinggong, even though their realm was not high, had a vague sense of harmony with the Tao. Apart from being a little restrained, they were not too unaware of it. After all, they had fought side by side with Song Pin's group of sword immortals in Quanjiao Mountain.

The three sword cultivators, seeing the young hidden official and Ning Jianxian again, all had some subtle and fresh feelings. They felt that Ning Yao's Taoist power was deeper, and Chen Ping'an seemed to be more casual?

As for Nie Cui'e's trip to Qinggong Mountain, she was not accompanying her good friend Hua Qinggong to travel around the mountains and rivers, or to try her luck at Bixiao Mountain in Tianyao Township. Instead, the last time she went to Quanjiao Mountain, her master gave her a decree, which basically asked her to travel with Hua Qinggong, and then see if there was an opportunity to go to Baopingzhou to visit Luopu Mountain together. Your junior brother Gao Geng has made some friends there, and they are quite good. When you get there, remember to be frugal with words and talk less. Pay special attention to a young boy in green clothes with the Taoist name Jingqing. If you are destined to meet somewhere in the mountains, invite him to visit our Qinggong Mountain and say that it was the old brother Jing from Qinggong Mountain who invited him kindly and missed the morning wine for a long time. In addition, you must not do anything superfluous, especially do not underestimate or neglect this Taoist friend Jingqing...

In short, Master's words were obscure, strange and roundabout, which was very unlike Master's usual vigorous style of action. Did the two sides agree to have a drink early? What was the secret language and secrets on the mountain? There must be something wrong with the unexpected. Nie Cui'e dared not take it lightly, which made her think over and over again. She came to a conclusion that when she arrived at Luopu Mountain, no, she landed on Baoping Island. She just adhered to the word "respect", did not seek merit but did not make mistakes, and was kind to others everywhere. It was always good to think so.

Liu Tui felt a little embarrassed, so he said in his heart: "Even if we have to sell everything we have, within the next ten years, Tianyao Township must gather together a treasure of the rank of an immortal weapon to make up for the gift given by the Yinguan for the founding of the village."

The reason why the Liuxia Boat was so slow was that Liu Tui had been busy with this matter, using secret methods to contact Taoist friends in various continents to see if there was a way to buy an immortal weapon, and even prepared to rent out part of the White Porcelain Cave Heaven. Liu Tui originally thought that if he could finalize an immortal weapon on the way, he would be a little more confident when he arrived at Luopu Mountain.

Unfortunately, all the immortals on the mountain tops of various continents now want to ascend to heaven.

Who isn't scrambling to achieve enlightenment and go one step further? If one can get one more immortal weapon that is in harmony with one's life, it would be best to refine it into a life object, or if it's a second best option, refine it into the foundation of a dojo, which would increase one's chance of achieving enlightenment by 20 to 30 percent. So now is not a good time to get immortal weapons, they are already rare, and the premium is too high.

In fact, there are still two or three rare treasures on the Luobao Beach, which are undoubtedly ancient immortal weapons. They are still ownerless, but Liu Tui dared not do so. He was afraid that as soon as Tianyao Township started to dig for treasure, the Lord of Bixiao Cave would have issued an edict to reprimand Tianyao Township and hold Liu Tui accountable.

I just gave you Bixiao Mountain and Luobao Beach, and Tianyao Township has started to be a spendthrift, enjoying the generosity of others? Since you are so dedicated to protecting the mountain and the beach, Liu Tui, bring all your ancestral hall portraits and deities to the Taoist temple for a chat...

Chen Pingan did not explicitly say whether he would accept Liu Tui's gift of the immortal weapon or not, but just said politely, "You are too polite."

Liu Tui understood the elegant meaning when he heard the strings, and he knew in his heart that it didn't matter whether one was polite or not. The only truth was that "the more polite you are, the less people will blame you".

Purchasing immortal weapons at this moment is indeed a headache, but the worry is only temporary. The amulets can last for thousands of years, and Liu Tui knows it clearly.

You, the Qing Palace Taibao Jing Lao'er, have Chen Qingliu, who is nicknamed "Qing Emperor", as your backer. Now Liu Tui and Tianyao Township also have them, don't they?

The reason why there is no true feeling in the conversation is that Liu Tui deliberately said it for people with ulterior motives to hear, such as Nie Cui'e and Hua Qinggong around him.

Chen Pingan pointed at Xiao Mo beside him and said, "I dare not take credit for it. The person who really helped Tianyao Township to say a few good words to the old master was our Xiao Mo. He and the old master have been close friends for many years. If I really had to go to the Taoist temple, I would probably do more harm than good, let alone help. It would be good enough if I was turned away."

Liu Tui was shocked. Was he a fellow Taoist with the Lord of Bixiao Cave? Or was he a "close friend" of his?

In the past, in the human world, a sword light appeared from the sea and crossed the world. The person who handed over the sword was not Ning Yao? But this polite "young" sword cultivator?

Xiao Mo looked normal, and said from his heart: "Before, I was ordered by the young master to visit Mingyue Haocai alone. At the Taoist temple wine table, Daoist Bixiao said clearly that he also used the hand of Tianyao Township to make donations to the land of Sanzhou in terms of money and Dharma. The treasures he deliberately left at Luobao Beach, Tianyao Township was not greedy and allowed foreign cultivators to take them away. More than a hundred Dao veins, large and small, have spread and multiplied on the territory of Sanzhou. It is not easy. The ancestors of Tianyao Township have proved that their Dao hearts are useful. So giving a mountain and a beach to Tianyao Township is a courtesy. You, Liu Tui, don't have to feel guilty, just accept it. Speaking of which, if Tianyao Township has done something wrong in these years and loses its integrity in the later years, Daoist Bixiao will have another explanation. Liu Tui, do you want to listen?"

Liu Tui acted as if the old master had come here in person. He straightened his clothes, made hand gestures and saluted. With a solemn expression, he said, "I am willing to listen to the teachings of Bixiao Cave Master."

He didn't want to listen, but could he not? Well, just treat it as a way to verify whether his guess was correct?

“It’s not really a teaching.”

Xiao Mo passed on a message, "'Let the old and new leaders of Tianyao Township come to the gate of the Taoist temple to have a chat.'"

Liu Tui was horrified and speechless.

Qi Tingji smiled and explained to them at this moment: "Just now, during the meeting in the Patriarch's Hall, I have resigned as the Sect Master and only retain the status of a guest official. Chen Pingan will take over as the Sect Master, Shao Yunyan will be the Deputy Sect Master, and there will be some changes in other positions. I won't go into details. Hua Qinggong is already a registered guest official of the Dragon Elephant Sword Sect, and Yan Houdao and Tian Xian are even worshippers of the Green Ping Sword Sect. They are all our own people."

Liu Tui and others were greatly surprised and began to congratulate again.

Qi Tingji said, "If you hadn't happened to pass by, we would have already set off for the capital of Dali to attend a celebration for Patriarch Chen. On the day of Grain in Ear, Patriarch Chen will officially serve as the Imperial Master of Dali."

Even though Liu Tui was numb, the group still congratulated him again. They had to congratulate him.

Chen Pingan turned to look at Shao Yunyan, Gao Shuang and the others, and asked with a smile: "It really fits the old saying, it's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. Hua Keqing's realm is high enough, and he is also compatible with our Dragon Elephant Sword Sect. Sect Master Shao, Gao Zhanglu, Bamboo God of Wealth, what do you think? How about it?"

Gao Shuang didn't have any idea, and was still thinking about how to persuade Huang Ling to change his identity. However, Shao Yunyan and Zhu Su had a few words together, and they both felt that there was no problem, so Hua Qinggong transformed himself from a guest official to a worshipper.

Hua Qinggong originally wanted to be a guest official in the Dragon Elephant Sword Sect and would be content with that, but there is such a good thing?

The Taoist couple, Empress Yan and Tian Xian, were going out to register their names in the genealogy of the Qingping Sword Sect and serve as the registered worshippers. After learning about this, the entire Ruicheng Dragon King Hall, especially the Fanshi Princess Temple lineage where Patriarch Hong was, gave their full support and asked Empress Yan to facilitate the invitation of the young hermit official to visit Ruicheng and the Fanshi Princess Temple.

Xie Gou had a very good impression of Tian Xian, a young girl who was not afraid of anything when faced with difficulties. Think about Wang Jia. At that time, the whole Fuyao Continent thought he was a Feisheng realm? Tian Xian was just a Jindan, but he dared to provoke her face to face. When she entered the upper five realms in the future, wouldn't she be able to kill a Feisheng realm? He had a good temper and a good impression of her. He must find an opportunity to teach her a few sword skills.
