Qu Ping's ancestor lost his soul and walked to the Miluo River, his color was haggard, his description was withered, and his eyes were also blank.

Sometimes he looks at the river, sometimes at the distant mountains, and sometimes at his reflection in the river.

Everywhere the eye can see, everything is dyed with endless mourning.

The cloudless sky suddenly became gloomy and dark, and it began to rain continuously.

The distant mountains, which were originally as clear and green, suddenly lost all color and turned gray.

The Miluo River, which was originally on the shore of Zhi Tinglan, suddenly lost all its vitality. The river turned into a torrent, and the angry waves crashed on the shore, just like Qu Ping's ancestor at the moment, unable to calm down.

"Hey, it's so decent, why is it raining suddenly!" There were many Chu people fishing and working by the riverside, but when they saw that the sky had changed, they all ran to a grass hut by the river to hide from the rain.

Qu Ping Ancestor did not hide from the rain, like an alien, standing in the rain, incompatible with the whole world.

Seeing this scene, some of the people who were sheltering from the rain in the grass hut laughed, and some sighed.

"Aren't these three doctors really as crazy as rumored? On rainy days, they don't hide, and they are not afraid of getting sick. ”

"Speak carefully! Doctor Sanlu is the nobleman of Chu... He's just mourning, how dare you call him crazy!"

"The news that Yingdu is broken, it hits him too hard..."

"Poor, if the first king is willing to listen to the advice of Doctor Sanlu, why is this the case for our Chu country..."

"Huh, look over there, there's a little doll who doesn't hide from the rain, and doesn't know how to hide when it's raining, isn't it stupid?"

The little doll that everyone refers to is Ning Fan, who is now a child.

Ning Fan went ashore and walked slowly along the riverside. The splashes of the torrent splashed down and dripped on him, but he didn't wipe them.

The rain in the sky poured on him, and he did not dodge it, as if he was in the Tao, as if he was integrated with the rain between heaven and earth, as if this rain was a part of his body.

Whether it's a splash or a rain, it's all cold. With Ning Fan's cultivation, he actually felt a trace of bone-chilling.

In fact, what is cold is not rain and water, but the Taoist thoughts and sorrows that are impregnated in it.

"Is this the person I am fighting for... This person's cultivation is clearly not in the third step, but his Dao thought is so strong that he has faintly stepped into the third step..."

Ning Fan's face remained unchanged, but he was a little surprised in his heart.

The old man in front of him, who seemed to be withered, desperate and sad, was such a powerful character!

Cultivation has not yet entered the third step, but the Dao Nian has reached the heavens and the earth!

"If this person is in his heyday, this Dao Nian decisive battle, even if I have all the advantages, I only have a five-point chance of winning. Three points are a draw, and the remaining two points are going to be lost..."

"It's a pity, mourning is greater than heart death, this person's heart is dead, so his Dao Thoughts have lost all their temperature, it is not difficult to defeat such a decadent Dao Thoughts..."

Although he didn't remember who he was, he could use some supernatural powers by instinct.

Qu Ping Ancestor didn't see Ning Fan in the distance.

He didn't remember that he was in the middle of a Dao Nian battle at this moment.

He only thought half of who he was.

I only remembered the first half of his life, but I couldn't remember the second half of his life.

In the first half of his life, he was Qu Ping, the Sanlu doctor of the Chu State, and a sinner who was exiled twice.

But what crime did he commit?

Hehe.

If it is a sin to be faithful and straightforward, if it is a sin to refuse to join in this turbid world, then he is truly a great sin.

If in the past, he still hoped that the king of Chu would wake up, understand his loyalty, and restore the declining national fortunes...

But now, nothing matters.

At the moment when the state of Chu was breached, his heart was completely dead.

The king abandoned the capital and fled in a hurry. Today's Chu State, although it can be peaceful for the time being, but at the moment when the country was broken, the luck of a country has been taken away by the Qin people.

The fortune of the country has been lost, the number of qi has been exhausted, this Shenzhou, sooner or later, will fall into the hands of the Qin people, this is the number of days, it is too difficult to compete.

"What else can I do, what can I do... Do you want me to be martyred for the country? Hahaha, how easy it is to die for the country, as long as the king summons me, even if the great Chu qi is exhausted, I am willing to follow the king and die with my body!"

"With a long sword, the Qin bow will be carried away, and the first body will not be punished!"

"I also have the good heart of my heart, although I have not regretted it after nine deaths!"

"It's a pity, it's hateful, it's sad! Up to this point, the king still doesn't need me, he treats me like a mustard, and my loyalty has always been wishful thinking..."

Qu Ping's ancestor's mourning became more and more painful and desolate.

He walked wildly by the river.

Sometimes lamenting, sometimes whistling, sometimes reciting sad and heroic poems.

In the grass hut in the distance, some people laughed at him, some sympathized with him, some pitied him, but no one understood him.

"Poor thing, these three doctors are not in good health, and this rain makes them even more crazy. From time to time, there were some exclamations in the hut.

"No! How did he get closer and closer to the river?

Immediately, several men stood up and rushed out of the grass shed, trying to drag Qu Ping's ancestor and prevent him from throwing himself into the river.

But it can't be approached!

Qu Ping Ancestor's Dao Thoughts were too strong, and only three or five mortals couldn't cross his layers of Dao Thoughts and get close to his body.

That momentum, as if he wanted to live, heaven could not make him die!

If he wants to die, heaven can't make him live!

Oh, it's better to go back!

Qu Ping Ancestor stepped into the river step by step.

Seeing that the object of his Dao Nian War actually took the initiative to seek death, Ning Fan was stunned at first, then thoughtful, and then, his face changed slightly, and he stepped forward quickly, wanting to hold Qu Ping and prevent this person from committing suicide by throwing himself into the river.

Why!

But it turned out that although Qu Ping Ancestor didn't remember to be in the Dao Nian War, at this moment, he was moved by the idea of death, and he was determined to die with the Dao Mind. If this person really succeeds in seeking death, then Ning Fan will be considered defeated!

[This is the first weight of the old man's Taoism, named Miluo!]

At this moment, Ning Fan seemed to be touched, and remembered more things, he remembered what Qu Ping Ancestor had said before the Dao Nian War began.

Since this person mentioned the first level of Taoism, there must be a second level of Taoism, and there may even be a third and fourth levels of Taoism... In other words, this Dao Nian battle will never have only one confrontation, and it is very likely that there will be many confrontations.

What he is facing now should be the first confrontation between Dao and Nian.

We must overcome this person's idea of committing suicide by throwing himself into the river!

Boom Boom!

It was the sound of Ning Fan's Dao Nian colliding fiercely with the other party's Dao Nian!

Ordinary people can't get close to Qu Ping Ancestor, but Ning Fan can, he is forcibly moving forward against Qu Ping Ancestor's boundless thoughts!

The momentum of this Dao Nian collision was extremely huge, but ordinary people could not see this scene.

Those Chu people in the grass hut could only see a fisherman slowly walking towards Qu Ping Ancestor, and then they felt that there was a strong wind and thunder roaring in the heavens and the earth.

But the strange thing is that there is no shadow of lightning in sight, and the sound of thunder is coming from a very far away?

The closer Ning Fan got to Qu Ping Ancestor, the greater the Dao Thought obstacle he faced.

The collision of the Dao thoughts of the two is also becoming more and more intense, and there is a tendency to penetrate the world of this world!

If the heavens and the earth collapse, this Dao Nian battle is afraid that it will end in a draw.

"Hmph, little world, does the old man allow you to collapse!" Seeing that this Dao Nian battle was very likely to be forced to a draw due to the collapse of heaven and earth, one person was not happy.

In the distance, Old Man Han stood on the fishing boat, his face was unhappy, he glared at the sky and the earth, with only one gaze, the yin and yang qi between heaven and earth were actually locked by life, and the heaven and earth could not be destroyed.

"With Ning Boy's personality, he would never be happy that this Dao Nian War would end like this..."Old Man Han muttered to himself, but he was a little puzzled in his heart, not understanding why he knew Ning Fan's character so well.

There are still ten steps to go.

Nine steps.

Eight steps.

Ning Fan was getting closer and closer to Qu Ping's Ancestor.

Although Qu Ping Old Ancestor's Dao Nian was strong, he couldn't stop him from approaching!

Three steps.

Two steps.

One-step.

Ning Fan finally came to Qu Ping Ancestor, and also stepped into the river and pulled Qu Ping Ancestor back.

Almost the moment when Ning Fan stopped Qu Ping's ancestor from throwing himself into the river, the two Dao thoughts that were originally fighting against each other between heaven and earth ended the collision.

The winner was decided.

Ning Fansheng.

But it was only a one-game victory.

The competition of this Dao Nian battle is by no means limited to the current game, and the temporary lead does not determine that Ning Fan will win in the end.

"Little doll, why are you stopping me?" Qu Ping Ancestor asked in surprise.

He didn't seem to realize that he had unintentionally released the Boundless Dao Thoughts, and he didn't know that Ning Fan had a Dao Thoughts war with him.

Nothing came to mind.

Everything happens in an unconscious state.

"Only unconsciously releasing Dao thoughts, is it so strong, if this person is conscious, and the Dao heart is not dead, what kind of posture should it be..."Ning Fan suppressed the solemnity in his heart.

At this time, since the other party didn't think of him as an opponent, he would not take the initiative to reveal his identity.

He bowed his hand politely, as if he was really just an ordinary fisherman, and asked rhetorically, "Aren't you a doctor in Sanlu, why do you want to seek death here?"

Obviously, Ning Fan heard the passers-by's comments about Qu Ping's ancestor and knew the identity of this person's Sanlu doctor.

This sentence is just an ordinary question.

However, this sentence made Qu Ping's ancestors more dazed in his eyes, and he felt like a world away.

It was as if the same scene had happened a long, long time ago, and someone had asked a similar question when he was in the river to ponder.

[Zifei Sanlu Doctor and ?why as for Si?]

Strange.

"Child, you are still young, and you don't understand the difficulties of the world. There is a kind of pain that is more torturous than death, and that is that the whole world is turbid, and everyone is drunk and I am awake..."

Ning Fan's brows furrowed slightly.

He thought that he had overcome the other party's idea of throwing himself into the river, but he found that there was still a will to die in the words of the French.

His previous victory did not leave the slightest crack in Qu Ping's Old Ancestor's Dao heart, and it did not even shake this humane heart in the slightest.

"What is drunk, what is awake?" Ning Fan was silent for a while, and suddenly asked.

Qu Ping was stunned for a moment, and looked at Ning Fan seriously, as if he was curious why Ning Fan asked this question.

Seeing that Ning Fan's face was full of seriousness, and he didn't seem to be asking casually, Qu Ping suddenly felt surprised, and had a rare sense of interest, "Gu Youlin'er, named Xiang Lu, can be a saint teacher at the age of seven." At the moment, it seems that you are not an ordinary child, and I am afraid that you want to argue with me with this question. In that case, I will gossip with you, and then go and die. ”

"You asked me what it means to be drunk and what it means to be awake? ”

"When I was a young student, when I was passing by Yunmengze, I met a god who was drinking in the clouds and shining with the sun and the moon. I was overjoyed to see the god, and went up to ask for knowledge, but the god did not say much to me, but only descended from the clouds, came with wine, pointed to the wine in the cup, and replied, "All living beings, drunk and dreaming of death", and drifted away. ”

"At that time, I didn't understand, but now, I vaguely understand. Drunkenness is life, and dreaming is death. There are the people of the netherworld, who live in the endless and distant realm of dreams, and there are countless immortals in the real realm, who live forever, but all their lives are drunk and never really sober... Some can't wake up, while others just go with the flow and don't want to wake up. My answer may satisfy you?"

Qu Ping replied.

His expression revealed infinite remembrance, as if he was recalling the scene of meeting that god that day.

"Not satisfied. Ning Fan shook his head.

"Why?"

For this is the answer of the God in the clouds, not yours. Since you assert that you are sober and all beings are intoxicated, you must have your own judgment. ”

"Hehe, it's a clever little guy, but it's not something that can be perfunctory in a few words. Qu Ping smiled bitterly.

It seems that today, I have to talk to this kid a little bit.

"Little brother, have you ever seen a drunken person? The more drunk a person is, the more he says that he is not drunk, then he is really drunk, and there are also some people, who are clearly awake, but for various reasons, pretend to be drunk, and it is difficult to tell the difference. People are unpredictable, who is really drunk and who is fake drunk, how can they see through it with just a pair of eyes. Please forgive me for my previous nonsense, I said that I am sober and all living beings are drunk, probably just my own drunken words. As for waking up, I don't know what sober is, and I don't know who is really sober, so it's hard to judge whether I'm awake or drunk, maybe I can only understand the truth if I die once... Is this answer satisfactory to you?"

"Okay. ”

"It's just okay, the little brother's requirements are really strict. Qu Ping smiled casually, unimpressed.

Because these are plausible, and still not the words of your heart. "Ning Fan can communicate with everything, and he can roughly hear whether a person is saying what is in his heart.

"Oh, Xiaoyou seems to know me very well, according to Xiaoyou's words, what is my inner words?" Qu Ping was surprised, this time, he really regarded the child in front of him as a peer.

"You don't know that all living beings are drunk and sober, you just believe so. After all, this is a world where you can exist if you believe in it!" Ning Fan's words were like thunder, exploding in Qu Ping's heart.

His eyes were shocked, and for the first time in his life, he was directly clicked into his heart!

"Hmm, if you look closely, Xiaoyou seems to be a little familiar, have we met somewhere?" Qu Ping asked puzzled.

"Perhaps. "Ning Fan naturally won't take the initiative to say, I am your opponent in the Dao Nian Battle.

Then he asked, "What is clear, what is turbidity?"

"There are clouds in the Tao, the clear ones rise, and the turbid ones sink. On this day, it is clear. This land is turbidity. Qu Ping replied.

"That's not what you really think. Ning Fan shook his head and said.

But it is what the world thinks. If the whole world does this, what is the use of my thoughts?" Qu Ping asked rhetorically.

"If the Tao is different, do you want to kill yourself?" Ning Fan.

"The Tao is different, it is better to die!" Qu Ping.

"Oh, hearing the words of the king, it is also paranoid, so it is so, the cultivation of Taoist friends is the Tao!" Ning Fan tried to confirm something.

But it turned out that the Qu Ping Ancestor in front of him was also a cultivator, a paranoid who would rather be upright than bend.

"You are not afraid of death, why are you afraid of life?" This is to persuade Qu Ping to let go of the idea of begging for death.

"Xiaoyou, are you going to talk to me about who is superior and who is inferior in life and death? If so, I'm afraid the topic will be far away, so let's continue to talk about it. Qu Ping smiled.

This smile is really from the heart, and I am happy to meet a true Taoist friend.

"I want to hear the high opinions. Ning Fan nodded, no longer talking about life and death.

The rain in the sky is even heavier.

The two returned to the shore, braved the heavy rain, sat on the ground, and actually had the posture of sitting and discussing.

"If you want to hear my point of view, then I'll talk about it. Isn't the answer to what is clear and what is turbidity written on it from the beginning? Whether it is clear or turbid, everything that is said is water. This water is clear, and this water is also turbid. Speaking of this, Qu Ping pointed to the Miluo River.

"When the river is calm and calm, the water is clear, but when the wind and waves rise, the sediment rolls, and it becomes muddy water. The water is the clearest, but it is also the most turbid, and so is the Tao. ”

"Water has two sides, and the Tao has two sides. This day can be heaven, but if heaven and earth are repeated, the so-called heaven becomes earth. ”

"Those who are pure ascend not because they are clear, but because they rise in the queen of heaven, they can be clear. Please forgive me for my previous nonsense, my words are muddy in the world, and I am alone, and the truth may be quite the opposite. In the eyes of the world, it may be that only my generation is cultivating, and it is the filth of the world!

"What is clear!"

"Those who are clear will clear themselves!"

The rain is getting heavier and heavier.

Qu Ping laughed in the rainstorm, looking like crazy, and looked at the people in the grass shed sighing again and again.

"It seems that Dr. Sanlu is really crazy..."

"I haven't asked Daoyou's opinion yet! Daoist friends think, what is clear and what is turbid?" Qu Ping laughed, but turned to Ning Fan to ask.

"I've already said that. Daoist friends must have forgotten that this is a world that can exist if you believe in it. Ning Fan said with a smile.

"Hahaha! This is a great goodness! When the float is white!" Qu Ping became more and more happy, and looked at the child in front of him with sympathetic eyes.

It's not about children, either.

It's the soul hidden under the child's body.

Is this the ancient overhaul Zhao Jian who moved the North Heaven? What a masterpiece!

But it turned out that after some conversation, Qu Ping had already remembered everything. It was Ning Fan, who also remembered everything in this confrontation.

This was originally a Dao Nian battle, and it was necessary to distinguish between life and death, but right now, neither Qu Ping nor Ning Fan was willing to fight anymore.

An old man and a fisherboy sat by the river, talking in the rain, and it was indescribably harmonious.

"Is there any wine?" Qu Ping asked Ning Fan.

"During the Dao Nian War, you can't bring alcohol. Ning Fan said with a smile.

"It's okay, it's easy. Qu Ping got up, walked towards the grass shed not far away, and asked a few men in the grass hut.

"Gentlemen, do you have any wine, lend me a pot?"

"There is only realgar wine that repels insects and detoxifies..."Several men were afraid that Qu Ping would go crazy, so in desperation, they borrowed a pot from Qu Ping.

"Do you have a wine glass?" Qu Ping asked again.

"Only a few broken bowls..."

"Broken bowls are enough. Lend me this wine and this bowl, and wait for a creation in the next life!" Qu Ping swept his eyes, and saw that several people had a slight cause and effect with himself in the next life, so he thanked him.

"Ahem, cough, just a little drink, how dare you be a doctor of Sanlu!" several men said with a wry smile.

What is not in the afterlife, such a ridiculous statement, they don't believe it at all.

Isn't it just a pot of wine prostituted by Dr. Sanlu?

The doctor on the left and right is planning to die, and this pot of wine is used as a bar for the doctor. If you annoy this crazy doctor, I can't say that people will come to haunt them after they become ghosts... Hey, it's a little chill in my back just thinking about it.

So there was wine, but this wine was realgar wine used to repel insects and detoxify.

There are also wine utensils, but this wine utensils are a few broken bowls, still stained with mud.

But in Ning Fan's opinion, this wine is extremely valuable.

"You are an ancient cultivator, how important is the cause and effect, just to invite me to drink, you promised a few people cause and effect, aren't you afraid of affecting the Tao?" Ning Fan sighed.

The quasi-saints are afraid of red dust cause and effect like snakes and scorpions, not to mention ancient overhauls.

Qu Ping stroked his white beard, smiled but did not answer, as the master, he should fulfill the friendship of the landlord, and he has taken the initiative to pour good wine for Ning Fan.

"Thank you for the wine. Ning Fan didn't care about the dirty wine bowl, picked up the wine bowl and drank it all.

"Daoyou is polite, it's me who should be thanked. Today, I talked with you, and I was very happy, and I relieved the depression in my chest. It's a pity that what I encounter today is all an illusion in the Dao Nian War, if I had met a Taoist friend back then, I probably wouldn't have chosen to throw myself into the river..."

Speaking of emotion, Qu Ping actually untied his sword, played the sword and sang.

"In and out of the word,

Ride back to the wind and carry the cloud flag.

Sadness and sadness parting,

Le Mo Lexi new acquaintance. ”

After singing, Qu Ping got up, threw his long sword into the Miluo River, and said freely, "I lost this battle." ”

It was in the Daonian battle that he took the initiative to admit defeat!

"You and I have just started the first confrontation, how can we talk about victory or defeat lightly?" Ning Fan frowned.

After some discussion, a pot of wine, his impression of this Qu Ping ancestor is still good. If others take the initiative to admit defeat, he is happy to win for nothing, but he is unwilling to take advantage of Qu Ping's ancestor.

"Daoist friends can beat me Dao Nian first, this is the first victory. ”

"Daoist friends have seen through my true Dao heart several times, and this is the second victory. ”

"I can't even hide the deepest hidden Dao heart from Dao friends, how can I win over Dao friends with my Dao thoughts? It is better to take the initiative to admit defeat and avoid humiliation. ”

This is not the word of the heart. Ning Fan shook his head and said.

"Hahaha, I can't hide anything from fellow Daoists. As expected by fellow Daoists, in addition to the first Miluo thought, there is also the second thought of leaving the sorrow, and the third thought of the Nine Songs. ”

"This is the idea of separation. ”

Qu Ping's ancestor suddenly changed his thoughts.

His Dao thoughts no longer had the slightest sense of coldness, but instantly became unpredictable.

Under the influence of his Taoist thoughts, the scenery between heaven and earth changed again.

The torrential rain stopped, and in the gloomy sky, there was a vision of the sun and the moon shining together.

There are countless huge stars that appear between heaven and earth, and the stars begin to evolve, turning into star characters and appearing in the air!

There are more than 2,800 star characters in total!

With an unimaginable aura of Taoism!

Like the ancient Tao Sutra, it hovers in the air, and the supreme path permeates it.

"My idea of detachment is to dare to fight in the face of the First Sage, but it's a pity that Daoist friends know my Dao heart, and it won't be too difficult to break my thoughts, so what's the benefit of using it?"

After that, Qu Ping accepted the Dao Thoughts, but did not continue to reveal the third Dao Thoughts.

"Why don't you show the idea of nine songs?" Ning Fan asked.

"I'm still in the process of practicing, and I can't control it. If you use it, even if there are saints here to maintain it for you and me, I am afraid that it will be difficult to achieve a result, and it will still collapse the heavens and the earth, and you can only draw in this realm... If this thought is used in the outside world, the damage will be too great, and I am afraid that half of the northern heavens will collapse because of this thought. You and I are not mortal enemies, there is no need to fight to that extent..."

Not only is it not a mortal enemy, but it is also a great drinking friend, hahaha!

That's the truth.

But Qu Ping Ancestor didn't say it.

Although he didn't say it, Ning Fan could understand it, so he just shook his head helplessly, "Although you haven't used the idea of nine songs, I can see some clues and know how powerful this idea is." Today's battle between you and me can be regarded as a draw. ”

As a result, a menacing Dao Nian battle ended like this.

As soon as the Dao Nian War ended, Ning Fan could not continue to stay in this realm.

didn't even have time to say goodbye to Old Man Han, Dao Nian had already searched for it, and flew away.

"Stinky boy, don't even say goodbye and leave!" Old man Han scolded and scolded, feeling a loss in his heart.

Strange things, strange things!

Obviously, he just met a stinky boy who was a little eye-catching and almost a little bit of an apprentice in a dream, why did the other party leave and make him so reluctant.

Could it be that the old man has also reached the age when the love of teachers is overflowing?

Well, after waking up from the dream this time, let's go and collect a few eye-catching apprentices to increase the popularity of the Liangyi Sect.
