Juejian Peak, in an elegantly laid out courtyard.

The peach blossoms in the surrounding peach blossom forest have bloomed, stained on the branches, the breeze blows, the fragrance is fragrant, and the pink petals fall from the branches, gently swaying with the wind, making people feel like they are in a fairyland.

The breeze blew Gu Gengren's hair, Gu Gengren sat cross-legged, with the guqin in front of him, his fingers plucked the strings, and a sound like mountains and flowing water echoed around.

Suddenly, the butterflies and bees in the peach blossom forest flew to his side as if they were attracted, dancing to the sound of the piano.

The row was quiet and peaceful, his fingers paused, the sound of the piano slowed down, the white and slender fingers lifted, and a colorful butterfly gently landed on his fingertips, flapping its wings gently.

Just then, a lifeless old man walked in.

Just as he wanted to speak, Gu Gengren made a silent gesture and looked at the butterfly, his eyes full of joy.

After half an hour, the butterfly flew towards the peach blossoms, Gu Gengren smiled, his smile was very good, and asked, "Is he here?"

The old man's fingers were dry, and only a little skin and bone remained, and he gently pinched them together, making a "creaking" sound, and replied: "I've been here, and I've been waiting outside for more than half an hour." ”

"Wait, sharpen his temperament, as soon as he steps into the middle level of the spirit, he doesn't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick. Gu Gengren's voice was very soft, and when he heard it, it was like a heavenly sound. Looking into the distance, looking at the white clouds in the sky, he said in a low voice: "Life is like the clouds in the sky, it seems to be random and unrestrained, but it can't help itself." ”

The old man followed his question and asked, "Why did Childe say this?"

Gu Gengren turned his mind, mobilized the aura in the dantian, raised his hand and waved, a wave of qi rose into the sky, blowing away the clouds floating above his head, and said in a low voice: "The wind is coming, and the head of the clouds is still covered with a whole piece of sky, this person, what level of cultivation do you have to cultivate to jump out of this strange circle, in order to do what you want to do?" He walked towards the courtyard and picked a peach blossom casually. He added: "I always feel that I am this peach blossom, and I don't know when someone will pick it easily, and I don't even have the slightest room for resistance." ”

"Childe, you are too worried, with your talent, you will definitely be able to step into the Venerable in less than a hundred years, why be so compassionate. Although the old man was comforting, his voice was dry and uncomfortable.

Gu Gengren was a disciple of Tianxuanmen, and when he was born, the sky showed a vision, and purple qi came across it, enveloping the courtyard where Gu Gengren was located.

The place is not big, just one day, this thing has spread mysteriously, some people say, Gu Gengren is the reincarnation of Ziwei the Great, some people say, it is a saint apparition...... But it's all the same meaning, the generation of the Gu family is going to produce a great character, and later it was included in the door wall by Tianxuanmen, but I don't know if it's a prophecy or what, Gu Gengren doesn't like to practice since he was a child, and he is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and gradually disappears from everyone, and the matter of the vision from the sky fades away, and no one talks about it.

But just when the people of Tianxuanmen no longer held out hope, Gu Gengren, who was close to the age and was not confused, broke through the realm.

He played a song with the guqin that had accompanied him for thirty years, starting from a mortal, taking a step forward, and stepping into the high level of the spirit in one step.

This time, it was also the first time he came out of the sect after breaking the realm, in order to enter the ruins, and before entering the ruins, it was to get this quota.

Although Tianxuanmen was only a weak sect in Zhangzhou, its ancestor had an inextricable relationship with the Seven Star Sect, and if it weren't for that, they wouldn't have this luxury.

"Let him in. Gu Gengren put away the guqin and sat up quietly.

It didn't take long for Jian Chengzhe to trot over with a flattering face, and said softly: "Brother Gu, don't come to harm! The last time Tianxuanmen said goodbye, it has been three years, but I didn't expect Brother Gu to really ascend to the sky in one step, which is enviable!"

Gu Gengren smiled gently, but in the depths of his eyes, there was a faint mockery, and he said in a low voice: "Brother Jian is very famous, it's just luck in the next place, just on a whim, I forgot the time when I talked about the song, and I hope Brother Jian won't be surprised." ”

Jian Chengzhe's head shook like a rattle, and he said, "No, no." ”

Gu Gengren didn't mean to gossip, he went straight to the point, and said straight to the point: "Brother Jian, did you say in your letter that Senior Wen still has a quota left in his hands to enter the Great Ruins?

"Of course, how could I tell a lie about such a thing!" but ......" he paused, looking like he wanted to say something.

"If you have something to say, just say it!" Gu Gengren's brows furrowed.

Jian Chengzhe was overjoyed in his heart, but said with bitterness on his face: "It's just that I heard that Senior Brother Ling Yue brought a spell caster back, and what he asked for was this place, and now he ...... it."

Gu Gengren's face was calm, he couldn't see his joy or anger, nodded and motioned for him to continue.

Jian Chengzhe immediately understood, and said in a low voice: "I originally mentioned this quota to Shizun in a hurry when I received the news from the ancient brother, although Shizun did not express his position, but he also had this meaning, but on weekdays, Shizun loves the little junior brother very much, and if he says a word on the side, I am afraid that there will be extraneous branches." He looked bitter, worried about Gu Gengren.

Gu Gengren's ten fingers intersected, and he walked under the peach blossom forest, his brows furrowed deeply, and he was silent.

After a while, he turned his eyes and said softly, "Then according to what you said, what should I do now?"

Jian Chengzhe had been waiting for this sentence for a long time, and said in a low voice: "Before the master makes a decision, let him retreat." ”

The word retreat in the face of difficulties is used very well, things can be big or small, and they can be rounded.

Gu Gengren didn't say anything, and his heart became worried.

Jian Chengren knew the truth of being too much, and he didn't dwell on this topic anymore, and immediately changed to a relaxed topic.

After Jian Chengzhe left, the old man's cloudy eyes flashed, and he said, "This Jian Chengzhe is not credible!"

"Hmph, there is no furrow in the chest, the vision is too small, only caring about temporary gains and losses, this kind of person is difficult to become a big weapon, the middle level of the spirit is already his limit, the monk's life, as long as he loses his heart, he will lose everything, the strong is strong is the mentality, is the courage, this kind of person who will only make the conspiracy behind others is destined to not be on the stage. Gu Gengren let the sunlight shine on himself and commented softly.

"What is the boy going to do?" asked the black-robed old man.

"I pay attention to taking one step and seeing ten steps, but now I can't even see this step clearly, so let's wait and see what happens. Moreover, this spellcaster is not simple, since I asked, even the peak of the spirit has not made me feel the crisis, but when I see him, I have a feeling of horror in my heart. ”

"What?" the black-robed old man's heart was turbulent.

In his heart, his son has not been defeated since he asked, even if he encounters the peak of the spirit person, he can deal with it calmly, but now, he actually feels the crisis in a high-level spellcaster of the spirit master, is he stronger than the peak of the spirit person?

※※※※

At this time, Qi Yue was busy in the courtyard, she first scraped off the scales of the spirit fish, washed it several times in a row, did it very seriously, and was also extremely skilled, as if she had done it thousands of times, the action was very fast, in one go, after the spirit fish was marinated and put into the wooden barrel, it stopped. After a quarter of an hour, the spirit fish had been sliced into thin slices, as thin as cicada wings, and stacked in wooden plates.

Ling Yue said in a gentle voice: "I didn't expect you to be a fisher." ”

"Since I was a child, my mother told me that if you want to capture a man's heart, you must first grab his stomach. She pointed.

After this voice came out, Ling Yue's heart was very happy, but he still didn't dare to say much, he just said "um" softly, and said secretly in his heart, the book says that in this life, when people are ignorant and ignorant of feelings, it is also the time when they are the truest, purest, most distracting, and most distracting, and they don't know if I am counted now.

After doing all this, Qi Yue glared at him and said fiercely: "Get out of the way!"

While speaking, he poured the fish fillets into boiling water and boiled them, constantly stirred them with bamboo chopsticks, and after a hundred breaths, sprinkled with green onions, and put some seasoned spirit grass, the color and flavor were complete, and the heat was rising, and the fragrance was fragrant.

Soon the fish was on the table, steaming, Ou Yangming seemed to be smiling, his eyes kept moving on the two of them, and he knew in his heart that this happy event, if nothing else, had already been done.

The wine is a good wine, and it is spicy in the mouth, as if it can pierce the intestines, but after the spicy taste, it is rich and sweet, and the aftertaste is endless.

Qi Yue pursed her lips and asked softly: "Brother Yu, today by the lake, looking at the rolling waves in the lake, I was thinking about a question, you said that being a man is to be the highest wave, the brilliance blooms for only a moment, and it is sunk by the waves, or is it like the deep lake water, not showing the mountain dew, even if the waves on the lake are big, it has no effect?"

Ling Yue also pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

Ou Yangming didn't answer immediately, but thought for a while, and said, "I've heard this sentence before, the great furnace of heaven and earth, whoever doesn't burn in it, can't escape." Take the lake as an example, although there are no waves under the surface of the lake, there are undercurrents. People, no matter what stage you are in, you will encounter troubles and difficulties, the house of chaff, for the sake of firewood, rice, oil and salt, three meals a day, in a high position, you have to be conscientious, and you have to care about the world, so I want to say, as long as you are not ashamed, you can be compassionate, do compassionate things, so that my heart can come and see the true self. ”

Qi Yue was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it carefully, this is really the truth, Qiong's nose wrinkled upward, and asked with a sly face: "Who taught you this?"

Ou Yangming grinned: "Foolish!"

Qi Yue pouted in disbelief.

Ling Yue was also thoughtful, nodded heavily, and said, "Brother Yu, I have been taught." ”

This night, Ou Yangming drank too much, he thought of Wu Hanning, who told him that grinding ink is refining his heart, thinking of Bai Shixue, who managed the Chamber of Commerce in an orderly manner, thinking of killing people, iron-blooded Danxin, thinking of the old craftsman, all the people and things came to his mind, and vaguely, there seemed to be Xue Xuanle's graceful figure flashing.

Of course, what he misses the most is Ni Yinghong.

The sky soon darkened, and the moonlight was cold.

He exhaled a breath of wine and sighed secretly, the moon is still the same moon, but is the person still the same person?
