Apprentice, he just doesn't take medicine

Although some sects of self-cultivation choose the way of entering the world like Dongling Jiange, most of them believe that once they start cultivating immortals, they must wholeheartedly seek the Tao and stay away from the secular world.For example, Luoxia Sect, everyone only has surnames after joining, and does not mention common names, and Tianling Sect doesn't even use common surnames, and only calls each other by Daoist titles, completely cutting off the relationship between the world.

Therefore, in the eyes of the otherworldly sect, monks and mortals are no longer the same kind. When their relatives get old, they will no longer have contact with the mortal world, and there is no need to care about mortal life and death.

Tian Fangzi is the head of the three elders of the Tianling Sect, and he can be ranked among the top ten masters in terms of cultivation base. Although Daoist Hong is not as senior as Xu Zhenren, he is also a real powerful figure in the Luoxia Sect. The sudden visit of the two together was not a trivial matter.

Shen Fengyuan ordered people to invite them to Canglang Peak, leaving only an elder, Shi Ying, by his side, and deliberately summoned Gu Yusheng to accompany them, just to see if there is any way to do it.

Tian Fangzi was a monk in the same period as Shen Fengyuan, but his face remained at around 25 years old. He was standing outside the door at this time, wearing a pure white Taoist robe, a golden crown and hair, and a brush in his hand. His deterrent air, anyone who sees him will only regard him as a handsome and handsome young man.

Daoist Hong was much more casual than him, just an ordinary middle-aged man, with sackcloth and straw sandals, a bamboo hat on his head, and a fish basket on his waist, which was in line with the purpose of the Luoxia School to return to the mountains and forests.

When these two people stood together with Shen Fengyuan and Gu Yusheng, just looking at their appearance and age, they seemed to be a family of four generations.

Tian Fangzi had long been accustomed to the appearance that he and Shen Fengyuan were directly separated by a generation, and greeted him kindly with a smile as soon as he came to the mountain gate: "Brother Shen, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing?"

Tianling Sect is the sect that has annexed the most territories in the south, and some of them have used some shady methods. Therefore, the relationship with Dongling Jiange has always been very bad.Accustomed to Xuan Qizi's cynicism, suddenly a smiling fox came, Shen Fengyuan squinted his eyes, and said: "Suddenly calling you brother and brother must be full of evil intentions, why, your Tianling sect is finally coming to the door?"

The two are indeed familiar with each other. Tian Fangzi didn't care about his indifference at all, and said with a smile: "What are you talking about? What kind of friendship do we have? We were born in the same month and participated in the trial for many years. , how could I harbor ill intentions towards you?"

It is true that they were sent out in the same month, and it is also true that they participated in the trials together. It is just that Shen Fengyuan's mission of leaving the teacher was to investigate the case of the Tianling Sect forcibly occupying the spiritual veins, and Tian Fangzi was the one responsible for seizing the spiritual veins. As for the trials, The two were also standing in the hostile camp, and the world was turned upside down.

Shen Fengyuan had known this person's ability to make friends for a long time, rolled his eyelids at this time, and said the truth lightly: "If I remember correctly, last year, the eldest disciple of Qizi sect of Tianling Zongxuan tried to marry him by force. The lord of the Lingmagpie Sect is a concubine, and our Elder Pianyu happened to pass by, so we eunuched him. Your lord also sent a letter, claiming that if I, Dongling Jiange, don't come to apologize, the two factions will be enemies from now on."

Nowadays, most of the spiritual mines in the world are occupied by sects of self-cultivation, and the Tianling Sect can only rely on robbing for new territory. This kind of forced marriage is one of the methods.Tian Fangzi naturally knew about this, but now he just pulled Shen Fengyuan's hand with emotion, and expressed his affection very kindly, "Oh, Brother Shen, Old Brother Shen, it's our Suzerain who doesn't know that this son has a bad temper, look, find out After the fact, don’t you just send me to find you to restore the old one?”

Everyone present knew whether the head of the Tianling Sect was so kind. Regarding this person's ability to tell lies with his eyes open, Shen Fengyuan could only sigh: "Tian Fangzi, just for this face that can bend and stretch. You dug it to be an elder."

Tian Fangzi is different from Xuan Qizi. Not only is he very talented, but he is also good at diplomacy with other sects. Although he has a few disciples, he is not interested in fighting for spiritual mines. It can be said that he is really dedicated to cultivating the Tao monk.Shen Fengyuan never understood why this person was soaking in the muddy water of Tianling Sect, but he just smiled casually, and said: "Although we have a good relationship, but the salary of the noble sect is meager, this kindness is just for you. Got it."

Yes, the reason why Tian Fangzi joined the Tianling Sect was because it was the sect with the most extensive spiritual resources in the southern territory.All the monks know that the Tianling Sect has been annexing small sects all year round and is ambitious, but so what?As long as you get started, you have the right to return your Taoist companion. Even if you are just an outer disciple, you don't need to worry about the spirit stones you use in this life. Who wouldn't want to join such a sect?

Besides, spirit mines and spirit veins have existed since ancient times, and each sect and sect just enclose a land and regard it as their own. Now that the sect has the strength, why don't they snatch it?

As the saying goes, different ways do not conspire with each other, Dongling Jiange disdains Tianling sect for destroying people and seizing spiritual veins, why doesn't Tianling sect hate these sword cultivators who have been in the way all year round.Seeing that the atmosphere between the two of them was not right, Daoist Hong interrupted at the right time: "Every time you two old fellows meet, you have to chat in a weird way, isn't it annoying?"

Shen Fengyuan is the most tempered sword cultivator in Jiange, Shi Ying didn't understand why he became more serious when he met Tian Fangzi, and changed the subject cooperatively at this time, "Why don't you see Daoist Xu this time?"

"Lao Xu was fooled by the head of your family in Yujian Villa, and he closed it when he went back, claiming that Mr. Shen would not die for a day, and he would never go out to meet people. But he was so tired that the old man was driven away by ducks and ran for thousands of miles. Come deal with these two old foxes!"

Mentioning this matter, Daoist Hong felt depressed. The external affairs of their Luoxia Party have always been undertaken by Xu Zhenren alone.As soon as Xu Zhenren retreated, everyone could only roll the dice to decide who would go out. In the end, he was the one with the worst luck and got this thankless job.Thinking of this, Daoist Hong only felt angry, and immediately said in a bad mood: "Knowing that you are poor swordsmen, you don't even give me a cup of tea, right? There is not even a hair in the warehouse of Dongling Sword Pavilion? "

Although Shen Fengyuan and Tian Fangzi have been enemies for many years, they had no intention of fighting today. Hearing this, he said with a smile: "If the person who came was Xuan Qizi, he would not even be allowed to enter the mountain gate. However, since It's the two of you, nephew, hurry up and serve tea."

"Look, as I said, if you don't reach out and hit someone with a smiling face, don't we have a seat here? Xuan Qizi hasn't been treated like this for 100 years."

Although Tian Fangzi was still smiling on the face, he had complicated feelings towards Shen Fengyuan in his heart.On the one hand, he admired this person for being able to insist on practicing the righteous way for a hundred years, and on the other hand, he hated this sword cultivator for being a stone-headed man, who would not back down no matter how many losses he suffered.Look at this upright head, who actually killed his eldest apprentice in Yujian Villa.Back then when I was accepting apprentices, I wrote letters every three days to show off to him. Now it’s all right. I cut off my former heart. Not only did the south lose a powerful swordsmith, but I also had to sleep silently when I dreamed back in the middle of the night. I'm so sad, I don't know what to draw?

Shen Fengyuan has been really tired since the incident at Yujian Villa. He has passed the most sharp age, and his actions are not as clean as in the past. Now he just wants to cultivate an heir as soon as possible, to be an ordinary sword repairer and take good care of himself apprentice.

Although the former Shen Fengyuan looked like an old man, when he wielded a sword, he was as fierce as any young man, but since Yun Zhongxing died, his heart is also gradually aging.

Such a subtle change did not escape Shi Ying's eyes. Seeing that the old master was not in high spirits, he asked for him: "The two of you are here this time, don't you just want to have a cup of tea?"

Naturally, Tian Fangzi is not interested in Jiange's crude tea. Although he came here as an entrustment from the sect, he also wanted to see his old enemy. Seeing that Shen Fengyuan was really not as sharp as before, he gently put down the teacup and said flatly: "Dare to ask everyone, What is righteousness?"

Shi Ying didn't expect him to ask this question, recalling the teachings of the elders of Yaoge in the past, she calmly replied: "The one who can abide by the rules is the right way."

"That's right, there is no righteous way in the world. After fighting in all kinds of ways, the monks found that if the fight continued endlessly, no one would get any good, so they decided to make a rule. Everyone talked more and stopped fighting. Later, they were willing to restrain My sects unite again to fight against the unruly evil cultivators, and this has created the righteous sect today."

Briefly stated the original intention of the alliance of the various factions in the past, Tian Fangzi saw that the sword cultivators had no objection, so he continued to persuade: "You have to understand that the righteous way is determined by the monks, and it is determined to make the monks live better. It harms the interests of monks, so the rules of the orthodox path should be changed. The reason why monks join the orthodox path is that they can practice with peace of mind and have a peaceful life. And the four of you and I can sit together because we don’t want to start a fight. Willingness to resolve issues through negotiation.

So in many cases, Dongling Jiange also had to understand that it was impossible for a sect to treat its disciples equally with outsiders.In official terms, we have different emperors, but you sword cultivators insist on using your own laws to control the people of other countries. Isn't this asking for trouble? "

Tian Fangzi said these words more than once when the two discussed Taoism in the past, and Shen Fengyuan's attitude towards the outside world changed because of this.However, it was the first time for Gu Yusheng to hear such words. When he first heard it, he was still a little confused. After thinking about it for a while, his eyes gradually became firmer, and he murmured: "Sect competitions have existed since ancient times, but one cannot live without a bottom line."

It was only then that Tian Fangzi discovered that there was a young disciple beside him. Jianxiu had always been irritable, in order to prevent troubles, Shen Fengyuan never kept anyone in the hall every time he discussed matters with other factions.It is abnormal that there is an extra Shiying today, I did not expect that there is a young man here, and what is even more amazing is that these two people have not turned the table after hearing his words.He originally believed that the Dongling Jiange without Shen Fengyuan would definitely betray relatives, and there was nothing to fear, but now he has to re-evaluate.

His eyes turned secretly, Tian Fangzi caressed the whisk, but continued to persuade with earnestness: "It's not that there are no others, but they are just a little lower than the bottom line of sword cultivators. Sometimes you are accommodating, don't be too serious. The days of Dongling Jiange It’s better. You know, it’s hard to have friends if you’re too upright.”

As soon as these words came out, Gu Yusheng's eyes twitched, and Shen Fengyuan looked at his old enemy. He had many discussions with Tian Fangzi, and they all ended in a fight. There was never a conversation.He couldn't figure out what this person meant by saying these words at this time, thought for a moment, and asked: "Then you have said so many things in front of me, are you considered a friend?"

Tian Fangzi was a man with deep scheming, and he was able to become the great elder of the Tianling Sect from a small family background, thanks to his insight into people's hearts.He doesn't dislike sword cultivators, but believes that such a sect cannot survive for a long time in the realm of comprehension.However, after fighting with Shen Fengyuan for so many years, he was used to a sword cultivator coming to play tricks on his plans from time to time, so he was a little reluctant to let this person die too early.The life of a monk is so long, if there is no opponent, it will be very lonely after all.

It's a pity that this sword repairer who looked gentle back then, held him down and beat him up after a quarrel, now insists on using the appearance of an old man, making him feel uncomfortable bullying the old man when he fights back. How did you do it.

Sighing helplessly in his heart, Tian Fangzi saw that the attitudes of the sword cultivators had slowed down and knew that his goal had been achieved, so he stopped talking and just smiled lightly to fool him, "Of course, friends are also a kind of friends."

Shen Fengyuan has been a swordsman all his life, and he has never made friends in this world. He did not expect that when he was about to abdicate, a friend came to him.Although he knew that he was not a good person, he still replied sincerely: "Okay, just tell me, what do you want to drag me into the East Spirit Sword Pavilion? For this sentence, as long as it does not violate the righteous way in the world, I will help you, my dog ​​friend, a favor." .”

Negotiating with Jianxiu is not easy. This group of people has always held their own principles and will not let go. No matter how good the friendship is, don't expect them to be partial.Obtaining Shen Fengyuan's words is already the strongest achievement of Tian Fangzi's life, so he seized the opportunity to say in the future: "To be honest, the two of us came here because the crown prince of the demon tribe was assassinated and killed three days ago." case. This matter is related to the safety of the frontier of the Yaozu, so please ask the elder Shengxie of Guige to come out and investigate."

The author has something to say: Shi Ying (reflection): It turns out that I can't handle diplomatic relations well because the grass is not thick enough.

Shen Fengyuan (emphasis added): Remember!If you put on an old face, your sect will have CP!

Gu Yusheng: Take notes seriously.jpg

Tian Fangzi: Can't you change your skin?Do you have to sit with me like a grandparent?

Shen Fengyuan: No, in this world where sleeves are cut off at every turn, only an old man can feel safe!

Tian Fangzi: Hey!
