Hard to be a master

Guan Jingxuan closed the half-opened folding fan, and said, "Brother Liu, please stay safe."

"Tsk, brother Jingxuan, you want me to know my fate."

The person who came was a young man who looked to be about the same age as Guan Jingxuan, with a particularly tall figure, three-dimensional facial features and sharp edges, with a hint of exoticism.If his face hadn't been so colorfully painted, he would be considered a handsome man.

This person's name is Liu Siqing, a monk who worshiped in Kunlun at the same time as Guan Jingxuan, and one of the very few monks who have reached the Nascent Soul stage and have stayed in Kunlun for a long time.Liu Siqing can be regarded as the biggest strange flower in Kunlun, apart from Ling Xifeng among their group of monks, he was the one with the highest talent.At the beginning, he and Ling Xifeng chased after each other with all their strength in practice. When the others were still building their foundations, the two had already formed golden cores successively.For most monks, forming alchemy is definitely the first big bottleneck on the road of cultivating immortals. However, the trial of forming alchemy for these two people passed like a game, which made the monks in the same period envy for a while.

However, after that, Liu Siqing and Ling Xifeng took two completely different paths.Ling Xifeng worshiped Wujian Peak without any suspense, and has made great progress in the practice of swordsmanship, which is beyond the reach of the dust. He is recognized as a swordsman who has not been seen in Kunlun for hundreds of years.However, Liu Siqing, who was also attracting attention, changed her previous momentum, unexpectedly stayed at Tongdao Peak, and plunged headlong into the abyss of divination.Although the original Qin Xiu was not abandoned, he could no longer keep up with Ling Xifeng's pace.As for Yu divination, although Liu Siqing himself is very obsessed with it, it is probably because his talent in this area is really limited. Nine times out of ten, his divinations are outrageously wrong. mouse.

Despite this, Liu Siqing's enthusiasm for divination has not been affected at all.And he also likes to run down the mountain from time to time, imitating those swindling charlatans who set up stalls to tell people's fortunes. It's just that the fortunes are not correct twice, and he always uses his exotic face to seduce people down the mountain. Ignorant girls and young women are fascinated by him.Whenever one of his stalls is set up, within half a day, countless women will line up waiting for him to tell their fortunes, and the children in the family will stop eating and cooking, which will greatly destroy the harmony of other people's families.Because of this, Liu Siqing was chased and beaten several times by her family members who couldn't bear it, which was very embarrassing.

When she stayed in Kunlun, Liu Siqing was also uneasy, and instead of being a good "Lingshan Daoist", she insisted on being called a fate-knowing Taoist.Serious cultivators of the eight classics often look down on alchemists who have not even learned enough superficiality, but swindle and deceive everywhere under the banner of "XX Taoist" and "XX Immortal Master". This title is also very unpopular, and the only one who rushes to be called "Taoist" is Liu Siqing.He collected a bunch of so-called ancient books from nowhere, and set up an altar in front of his cave to offer sacrifices to him every now and then, and sometimes he would perform some weird rituals, causing a mess of smoke. Come and scold him, but with little effect.Since then, Liu Siqing has become a negative teaching material for the monks in Kunlun to educate their disciples.

Because Guan Jingxuan walked closest to Ling Xifeng at the beginning, he also had acquaintances with this fellow who had fought against Ling Xifeng a few times, but he did not have a deeper friendship.However, for some reason, since Liu Siqing began to study divination, she has always liked divination for Guan Jingxuan.Especially every time Guan Jingxuan was about to go down the mountain, he would definitely see Liu Siqing hurrying over.

Guan Jingxuan glanced at the Taoist robe on Liu Siqing's body, suppressed the urge to take it off and throw it down the mountain, and said, "Okay, brother Liu."

Liu Siqing glared at him, then asked, "Brother Jingxuan is going down the mountain again?"

Guan Jingxuan nodded.

Liu Siqing immediately straightened her face and said seriously: "Brother Jingxuan, you can't go!"

Guan Jingxuan smiled: "Brother Liu said so half a year ago."

Liu Siqing said: "This time it's true! Just now I made a hexagram for you. The hexagram shows that there is a hidden danger in this trip, and there will be bloody disasters!"

Guan Jingxuan continued to smile: "Brother Liu said the same thing a year ago."

Before Liu Siqing had time to defend herself, Guan Jingxuan said again: "In the end, I was bitten by a mosquito in the farmhouse at the foot of the mountain."

Liu Siqing: "..."

Liu Siqing gritted her teeth, and said: "At that time, I was still a young man, so the divination this time will definitely not be wrong. Brother Jingxuan, you must believe me!"

Guan Jingxuan nodded with a smile and said "OK", then turned around and walked down the mountain.

Liu Siqing grabbed Guan Jingxuan and said with a broken heart, "You must go?!"

Guan Jingxuan smiled without saying a word, Liu Siqing stared at him for a long while, then suddenly let go of her hand, and said with a sad face: "That's all! Destiny, destiny...you can go as you want, but brother Jingxuan, remember, don't take your clothes with you." Anything down the mountain comes back."

Guan Jingxuan's expression remained the same, and he said slowly: "Brother Liu, this is a bit embarrassing for me. I went down the mountain this time to buy supplies. Didn't Brother Liu figure it out?"

There was a moment of dullness on Liu Siqing's face, and then she immediately said: "Of course I figured it out! Cough, what I mean is, don't bring back anything other than the items on the list, and don't accept gifts from others."

"Oh." Guan Jingxuan nodded and said, "Okay."

Seeing that Guan Jingxuan didn't take his words seriously at all, Liu Siqing shook Guan Jingxuan's shoulder twice, gritted her teeth and said: "Brother Jingxuan! I'm not joking! The secret should not be leaked, but I really can't bear to see my fellow disciple go astray. Let me tell you the truth, last night I had a dream of foretelling that brother Jingxuan will encounter the greatest calamity in his trip today, but as long as you don’t bring it back, the calamity will naturally break.”

Guan Jingxuan: "Brother Liu, 'going astray' is not used in this way."

Liu Siqing glared at him: "That's not the point!"

Guan Jingxuan said patiently: "I know Brother Liu's kindness, I will pay attention to it, thank you Brother Liu for reminding--can I go now? There are a lot of things to buy today, if I don't go out, I'm afraid I will stay overnight at the foot of the mountain gone."

Liu Siqing walked away with a look of despair.

When he was about to reach the destination, Guan Jingxuan made a trick and put away the floating cloud fan under his body, stepping on the gentle breeze and landing lightly on the periphery of a forest, after tidying up the skirts that were blown by the wind, he walked slowly towards the city gate where he could see Go to Mucheng.Although cultivating immortals is no longer a rare thing nowadays, cultivating immortals is still a kind of behavior that violates the natural law. It is not good to show it in front of people wantonly. Secondly, it is to avoid some unnecessary troubles. Immortal cultivators usually consciously Abide by the unwritten rules of not easily performing spells in front of ordinary people.

It was rare for Guan Jingxuan to go down the mountain once, let alone Mucheng, which is so far away. The last time he came back, he accompanied Ling Xifeng to search for materials for repairing the scabbard near Mucheng two years ago, and took a day's rest in the city on the way.Today's Mucheng is not much different from two years ago. The city is bustling with people, and even the few shops he visited last time have not changed hands. It's just that there seem to be a lot more beggars on both sides of the streets than before.

Guan Jingxuan followed Zhao Qingzhou's list and bought all the way. When there were too many things in her hand, she turned into the alley, pinched the "Sleeve Universe" tactic to put everything in her sleeves, and then went to the next one.Except for a small amount of cloth spices, most of the items listed on the list are ingredients for beauty and rouge gouache.Although the monks will fast for the sake of cultivating immortals, they don’t really need to eat anything, but their need for food is much smaller than that of ordinary people. Even if they don’t drink water or rice for ten and a half months, they won’t feel obviously hungry. Feeling, the body will not be affected.

However, before forming alchemy, many monks—especially female cultivators, will keep the habit of eating regularly, and most of the food they eat is nourishing food that can maintain their appearance and beauty.This is because the immortal cultivator can keep his face forever after forming the alchemy, and the appearance of the alchemy directly determines what kind of picture this person will wear in the next few decades and hundreds of years, and even after attaining Taoism and ascension. Face.Therefore, how to maintain one's appearance has become a hot topic among female cultivators and some male cultivators who are more concerned about appearance.

Guan Jingxuan put the purchase of rouge and gouache at the end. Under the surprised eyes of all the female customers, he boldly bought most of the stock in the store. A restaurant next door.

This restaurant is exactly the one they lived in when they settled down in Mucheng two years ago. What surprised Guan Jingxuan was that the shopkeeper of the restaurant still remembered him, and his eyes lit up when he saw him, his eyes were as enthusiastic as watching him. To the long-lost biological flesh and blood.Afterwards, Guan Jingxuan had a detailed chat with the shopkeeper and found out that the shopkeeper's daughter fell in love with Ling Xifeng after seeing Ling Xifeng two years ago.The shopkeeper loves this daughter very much. He has inquired about Ling Xifeng's news in many ways but can't find anything out. Seeing that his daughter is getting older, he is still wholeheartedly waiting for the "beautiful man" who has only met once, and he will not listen to anyone's persuasion. go in.When the shopkeeper was in a hurry to get angry, Guan Jingxuan reappeared in his restaurant like timely rain.

"Guan Gongzi, is the young master who came with you last time also here this time? What is his name, where is he from, and is he married? Can Guan Gongzi introduce you to the young girl?"

Seeing the shopkeeper's eager look, Guan Jingxuan couldn't help feeling a little helpless.

Ling Xifeng's appearance is also top-notch among the monks in Kunlun. As a swordsman and a diligent swordsman who is obsessed with kendo, Ling Xifeng's figure has always been in the best condition, tall and lean without a trace of fat .Coupled with the unique fierce aura of people who came out of Wujian Peak, the aura of monks in the transformation stage, and a bit of arrogance and cold abstinence, Lingxi Feng was also very popular in Kunlun. At that time, most of Kunlun All the female cultivators have asked Guan Jingxuan to hand over objects or letters to Ling Xifeng.It's a pity that Lang's heart is like iron, Ling Xifeng only has the supreme swordsmanship and practice in his heart, and seems to have no interest in romantic love between men and women, and countless spring hearts are shattered into slag in front of him.

It is conceivable that a person who does not even consider a Taoist partner, how could he marry an ordinary woman.

Of course, if you want to think so, you can't say it that way.

After the shopkeeper finished asking a lot of questions, Guan Jingxuan put on a very sad expression, and said with regret: "Shopkeeper, I'm sorry, it's not that I don't want to recommend your daughter, it's really that my friend is not so lucky. "

The shopkeeper was taken aback, and said: "Could it be that the young master has already married?"

Guan Jingxuan sighed deeply, slowly shook her head and said, "He... hey... I hope he can have such a chance in his next life..."

The shopkeeper was shocked when he heard the words, and his eyes widened: "He has...already...?"

Guan Jingxuan nodded heavily, and after a moment of silence, she said to the shopkeeper, "So shopkeeper, you should try to persuade Ling Ai more, don't be persistent."

The shopkeeper seemed to be very shocked by this "bad news", and it took a while to recover, and then remembered to say "sorry" to Guan Jingxuan, and then sighed for his daughter.Guan Jingxuan accepted the "sorrow" without changing his face, and silently said to his friend who did not know where he was retreating: I didn't say anything, and the shopkeeper understood it...

After the two sighed and comforted each other for a while, the shopkeeper quickly calmed down, and he couldn't help secretly rejoicing that his precious daughter had only met the short-lived son once.

At this moment, Guan Jingxuan acted as if he wanted to change the heavy topic, and said: "Shopkeeper, I saw that there seem to be many beggars on the street today, I don't know why?"

The shopkeeper was surprised and said, "Young master, don't you know? The Yellow River flooded two days ago, and the two villages upstream were completely submerged by the flood. These people are all victims of the disaster."
