Chapter 35: The storm begins

In the early morning, mist covers the mountains. The rising sun in the east gradually reveals light.

The so-called purple qi comes from the east at this time.

Under the rising sun, Zui Taoist and Gao Yuan were chatting without a word. Zui Taoist did not hate Gao Yuan, and sometimes he even thought that his unpretentious attitude was very rare. Moreover, after staying with him for a long time, he knew that others looked indifferent, but were very easy to get along with. He was never arrogant or pretended to behave.

The Zui Taoist, who has experienced all the world, knows how rare it is to be Gao Yuan still maintain his nature in the world. Li Yingqiong, Zhou Qingyun, Qi Lingyun and others are all Taoist geniuses in a thousand. But in terms of mind, no one can have such cultivation.

Not to mention the younger generation, even the older generation of sword immortals, they all have their own quirks. In terms of true nature, it is hard to be as calm as Gao Yuanshan's indifferent and extraordinary favors and disgraces. Sitting next to Gao Yuanshan, Zui Dao Ren felt very relaxed.

"Master, I want to learn the sword technique of Emei, don't know what?" Gao Yuan asked suddenly. "Ah, cough cough..." The Zui Taoist, who was pouring wine with a gourd, was not choked to death by the wine for a while. The Zui Taoist, whose face was red, coughed for a long time before he recovered. With his skills, it was impossible to be so embarrassed.

However, Gao Yuan asked too suddenly, and he couldn't think of how to answer for a moment, so he could only cough continuously. After a while, Zui Dao said: "Emei's sword technique, hey, since the founder of Changmei, it cannot be passed down as usual." Speaking of this, Zui Dao was a little ashamed.

As usual, the Emei Sword Skill cannot be passed down, but the Emei personnel are very complicated. There are all Buddhists and Taoisms. Among them, I don’t know how many people have passed on the Emei Sword Skill. This is not the number of people who guide others at will. Logically speaking, the authentic Emei Sword Skill is not a secret, at least no one in the younger generation will not be able to do it. The truly top secret is the unique skills such as "Taiqing Tianshe Zhengfa" and "Taiyi Qiankun Yu Lei Zhenji" that only Miaoyi Zhenren, Xuan Zhenzi and others are qualified to learn.

That's it. "Taiyi Qiankun Yu Lei Zhen Jie" was also passed on to Ascetic. Of course, Asceticus also passed on "Invisible Sword Art". From this point of view, we can see that among the top masters, there are not many such exchanges of unique skills.

If Gao Yuan had not had a clear origin and a person like him who had extraordinary talents and nature, Emei would have wanted to snatch it and accepted it as a disciple. However, Gao Yuan had an unknown identity and was rude and rude, and news came from there that Mrs. Miaoyi was extremely disliked by him. It was unlikely that he would learn the Emei Sword Art.

The Zui Taoist's intention was very obvious. Gao Yuan also knew that it was unlikely that he would learn the Emei Sword Art. So he asked, just to ask, just to think about it. In fact, Gao Yuan had almost no use when he learned the Emei Sword Art, but Gao Yuan had no time to study the advanced sword art. He also had the meaning of testing the attitude of the righteous path. Zui Taoist's reaction made Gao Yuan understand that he had never gained the trust of the righteous path. Even the closest Zui Taoist had never considered taking Gao Yuan into the way. Otherwise, he would not have looked so embarrassed.

Gao Yuan said calmly: "I understand, I am reckless." The Zui Daoren explained with a embarrassed expression: "The Emei Sword Art is better than the authentic one. Compared with other sword art, there is not much mystery. I could have made the decision to pass it on to you, but I am a great rude in my fellow disciples' relationships." Gao Yuan smiled, "I understand the difficulties of Taoist Master. I won't mention this matter."

Gao Yuan's calm and gentle appearance made Zui Taoist feel much more relaxed. He also knew that Gao Yuan's cultivation was stronger than him, and wanted to learn the Emei Sword Technique was just for the purpose of increasing his knowledge. However, Zui Taoist was extremely generous, and he felt a little sad to refuse Gao Yuan's request. He even said that he would take Gao Yuan to a restaurant in Chengdu to drink.

On the Zuixian Tower in Chengdu, Gao Yuan and Zui Taoist looked for a table by Zhang Linzhan to sit down. It was about nine o'clock in the morning and the restaurant opened, and no one had any meals at all. The two came so early, which made the shopkeeper very strange. However, when they came, there was no reason to push them out, not to mention that Zui Taoist was a regular customer. Although Zui Taoist was not generous in his actions, he never owed money and was also a good customer.

In June, it is the time when the lotus flowers bloom. The Zuixian Tower is more than ten feet high, and in ancient Chengdu it was a tall building. Sitting on the window on the third floor, you can overlook the forty miles of hibiscus that surrounds Chengdu City.

Meng Chang, the last lord of Shu, liked lotus and ordered the people to plant lotus on the walls of Chengdu. Therefore, Chengdu is also known as Rongcheng. At this time, the lotus flowers bloomed, and under the sunlight, they were colorful and filled with flowers.

Because they did not suffer from war, although refugees gathered, they were turned away by local forces. They also adopted various methods such as giving porridge, absorbing labor, and guiding the flow of traffic, which did not have much impact on Chengdu.

Therefore, the city of Chengdu is peaceful and peaceful. The expressions on the faces of the pedestrians are very calm, and they are neatly dressed, without any sight of troubled times. Even restaurants can still have the energy to sell wine at this moment. You should know that the food prices have risen ten times and a hundred times. In this chaotic world, food is the most precious guarantee. Only places like Chengdu that have not gone through war and have no ability to export grain can be made. From this we can know that Chengdu is rich. The so-called country of Tianfu is not a false statement.

"Master, you don't have any production, have no land, and have no business, how can you get the money to drink?" Gao Yuan asked suddenly as he looked at the drunk Taoist drinking one cup on the left and one cup on the right.

"Where did the money come from?" Zui Taoist was stunned for a moment and laughed, "Naturally, robbing the rich and helping the poor..." Gao Yuan asked, "Rich other people's wealth, helping the poor?" Zui Taoist quickly waved his hand, "Just kidding, why am I also a sword immortal? How could I be so arbitrary? Not to mention anything else, as my identity as a Taoist, some donors in Bijun'an would always offer large sums of incense money. Even some local rich families who are good at charity and good fortune will also have fixed offerings."

Gao Yuan suddenly understood. He thought that Zui Dao Ren was like a knight in a martial arts novel, relying on his force to get money at will. Only then did he realize that he had a glimpse of the power of the Sword Immortal. I was afraid that the entire Chengdu city was in Emei, and Zui Dao Ren was the agent of Emei to handle these trivial matters in the world. Being able to worship a sword immortal or even a sect was probably something that the rich families could not ask for.

When Zui Taoist saw Gao Yuan, he thought to himself and explained slowly: "The world is in chaos, and many forces are competing for the imperial power of the mortal world. This matter was not originally related to our sword immortals. However, in order to use the power of the mortal world, some people will inevitably interfere in the will of heaven. If we are based in Emei, we cannot let other sword immortals do whatever they want in Shu."

"So that's the case, the evil spirits in Ciyun Temple have actually touched the foundation of the Emei Sect. Although the sword immortal does not need to care too much about the world, they also have a lot of connections with the world. And the so-called "I can't let others snore by the bed. The evil spirits gathered in Ciyun Temple, and they were already making trouble under the nose of the Emei Sect. This is something that the Emei Sect cannot tolerate." After the Zui Taoist explained, Gao Yuan understood the root of the struggle.

Of course, there are many other reasons inside, such as the hatred accumulated in the past, the different concepts of good and evil, etc.

Drunk Taoist drinking is like drinking water. He sat there until noon and had already drunk two jars of old wine. Although the Taoist practitioners do not avoid these, it is abnormal like Drunk Taoist. You should know that wine is always poisonous. If you drink like Drunk Taoist, if you are an ordinary person, you will not be able to live for three years. Even if you accumulate the body of the sword immortal, you cannot underestimate the poison of these wines. Just for the sake of the desire to drink, you will not drink it like Drunk Taoist.

By noon, there were more people in the restaurant. Gao Yuan and Zui Taoist sat in the best position, but they only called for wine. Everyone in the past had to take a special eye for him. However, Gao Yuan was tall and tall, sat upright like a mountain, and his eyes were deep. Seeing Gao Yuan's appearance, no one dared to disturb him. Moreover, although Zui Taoist was drunk and dressed in rags, his identity as a Taoist priest was extremely afraid. Anyone who walked through the world knew that he should not touch such an unpredictable and profound person.

But some people don't believe in evil.

A group of more than a dozen scholars were all wearing luxurious long gowns, holding folding fans in their hands, pointing at the window to point out the beautiful scenery of Chengdu. They either recite a few poems or a group of people were in a sympathy. It sounded extremely lively.

After talking for a while, the group of people asked the bartender for a few seats by the window. In ancient times, scholars had noble identities, and more importantly, these people had extraordinary family backgrounds. Although there were many people in Zuixianlou, the group of people paid the bill and gave up all of them obediently. However, when they reached Gao Yuan's table, they refused.

The bartender advised: "The Taoist priest has been drinking for a whole morning, so it's time to go back and rest. By the way, give the place to several young masters. The young masters not only pay the bills for you, but also give them convenience to the young masters. Wouldn't that be great..." The bartender was polite when he said that, after all, they were all guests. Although they looked down on the poor look of the drunk Taoist, they were unwilling to offend them casually.

Gao Yuan just pretended not to hear it, and the drunk Taoist said in a dim light: "When will the old Taoist leave be your turn to leave? Do you owe you money for alcohol? Don't be clamoring, do you go away..."

The bartender said nothing, and turned around and looked at the young masters helplessly and said, "This Taoist priest refuses, why don't you sit in the private room..."

The group of people were furious when they saw a poor Taoist priest so arrogant. A man with a blue long robe and jade pendant tied with a waist immediately came over and cursed angrily: "I don't know where the Taoist came from. I'm so tired and lazy. Let me teach you the truth about being a human being..." As he said that, he gave the Zui Taoist a mouth.

"Bang..." The man slipped his hand and somehow hit the corner of the table. The wine table was a square Eight Immortals table, which was made of thick pine wood. After some years, the corners of the table were extremely hard. The man was not good at martial arts, and he slapped the edges of the table with one palm. One hand immediately curled up and screamed in pain.

Seeing this, the others were all indignant and scolded the drunk Taoist. "This charlatan, I don't know where to cheat money. Go and report to the official, arrest him and interrogate him..." "What a thief Taoist priest, he dares to use demon magic to hurt people..." "Drag it out and beat him half to death and say..." "The thief is cunning, don't let him run away..."

The group of people also saw that Zui Taoist was a little unusual, but because of his extraordinary background and numerous people, he would never suffer any losses. The noisy voice was very loud. Although Gao Yuan sat aside, no one dared to speak rudely to him with his indifferent and extraordinary demeanor.

Gao Yuan was a little strange. He didn't know whether Zui Dao Ren brought him here intentionally or unintentionally, but he had an entanglement with this group of people. Although Gao Yuan didn't care about mosquitoes and flies, they were noisy and noisy in front of him, but they hated it very much.

Zui Taoist did not talk to the group of people, and smiled at Gao Yuan, signaling him to wait with peace of mind.

The group of people either held their own identities or knew they were not opponents, but they just shouted, but no one was willing to come and take action. After a while, the stairs were "thumped" and the footsteps were still downstairs, but in a blink of an eye, the footsteps had already echoed on the third floor.

When everyone looked at it, they saw a strong man nine feet tall with fierce facial features. He wore a vest on his upper body, revealing his arm a little thicker than the thighs of ordinary people. His tangled steel-like muscles all over his body made people feel numb just by looking at it.
