The unlucky monk was finally sent away by Shi Feng with a ban.
There are not many ways to lift the ban on the primordial spirit in the cultivation world. One is that one of the two parties dies, the other is that the person who has been banned has cultivated and surpasses the person who placed the ban on himself.
"You know which is more important, life or gossip."
Chen He added a threat that scared the cultivator without turning his head. He rushed out of the city gate at the fastest speed, and swore in his heart that he would never set foot in this small town again—no, no, it is a city within a radius of fifty miles. Not close.
This reaction is quite normal. Anyone who suddenly bumps into the Demon Venerable who is said to go out to sea to deal with Yuanlou can't help but think that this is a conspiracy. "Sh Feng and Chen He are overseas, and what happened in the Central Plains can't be blamed on them", Who knows what Shi Feng wants to do when he secretly returns to the Central Plains
This kind of unexpected encounter with the secret of a Demon Venerable, it is a blessing to be able to escape, how can he dare to explore what Shi Feng Chen He is doing here, he can't even forget that he has been here today.
Shi Feng's consciousness was released, and he took it back when he saw that the man had escaped far away.
Turning his head and scolding Chen He slightly: "Following Master these days, why don't you use a blindfold?"
Qu Hong may have to stay here for more than ten years. If it attracts the attention of the monks, there will be no peace.
Chen He bowed his head: "I didn't think about it properly."
On that day, when he saw that Qu Hong was able to deal with the people in Yuanlou with ease, he didn't think Qu Hong would be in any danger. Moreover, when Chen He stayed behind and went down the mountain with the team, he was waiting for the people in Yuanlou to return to find Bo Jiucheng, and he wanted to catch them all in one go. , of course, did not hide the appearance.
As a result, Chen He waited for a while, and no one came back.
Bo Jiucheng, the young master, deserves it, obviously others don't take him seriously.
Since he can't wait for Yuanlou, Chen He will reduce the number of appearances in front of people - anyway, in the eyes of the group of pirates and private salt dealers, he is full of mud and embarrassment.
It's just that after returning to the small town, the days are leisurely, as slow as time has stopped, and all the people in the alleys are all guards, so they relax a lot.
"You provoked it?" Chen He slapped the stone on the fire's forehead, but he pressed his hand down and sunk into the flesh.
The corners of his mouth twitched, and he stretched out his hand to hold Shi Zhonghuo, who was lying on the ground, in front of his eyes, and met those eyes that were squeezed so hard to see clearly: "Don't sneak out to catch fish, and next time, I'll take you It's sold! Brother, how much can you sell it for if it's so fat?"
Before Shi Feng could speak, Shi Zhonghuo was happy first, it stretched out its round arm and slammed Chen He with a punch.
- Don't think it's stupid. Except for the master, other monks can't raise it. It's a fire in the stone.
Shi Zhonghuo broke free from Chen He, and fell heavily to the ground like a weighing scale, stirring up a large piece of dust. He picked up the bucket containing the fish and ran into the alley, where it disappeared in a blink of an eye.
"If the true fire of samadhi is not me and the true essence..."
Chen He simply wanted to throw the fire in the stone here and give it to Qu Hongguan.
Shi Feng frowned slightly and said softly, "Junior Brother."
Chen He paused, and after a long time he sighed.
This place is very good. Master and brothers are very lively every day. This day is as cool as a watermelon in a well water town. You can relax your heart, and you don't have to think about anything. You can comfortably lean on the reclining chair and watch the moon and stars.
But no matter how good it is, it is not the place to go.
People without far-sightedness must have near-term worries, and peace and tranquility will not last long.
"Senior brother, I have disturbed Master for many days, and I need to leave." Chen He said in a deep voice.
"The chaos in the cultivation world has already appeared, no matter who thinks of a solution, it can't change the established situation." Shi Feng gave his junior brother a deep look, and comforted Chen He gently, "You don't have to think too much, even if you were right the last time. The war broke out, there were countless people who fell, and there was another wave in this life, there is no relationship between the two."
It should come, it will always come.
The grievances between sects and sects in the cultivation world, the confrontation between the righteous and the devil, did not happen overnight.
"I just think that Zhao Weiyang will definitely take the opportunity to get up and take advantage of this troubled world."
Chen He was a little remorseful. If he could have seen more that day, he might have found out that the fish seller was Zhao Weiyang.
If you don't look at it for a while, the tiger will return to the mountain, and the trouble will be endless.
"The fact that Master is still in the world must not be known to others!" Chen He said solemnly.
Shi Feng nodded slowly.
The brothers and sisters left the open space along the half-collapsed wall.
In the corner of the scattered masonry, someone suddenly clicked, swung the stone in front of him with a cigarette stick, squatted by the wall and touched the beard on his face, and after a while, he put his hands behind his back and returned to the front yard of the escort office as if nothing had happened.
"Master Qu!"
"It's a coincidence, it's time for dinner, and I'm about to send someone to find you!"
Qu Hong said with a smile: "Look at what you said, how can I forget such a big event as eating?"
A table of the Eight Immortals was so full that the bowl of vegetables could fit into a big man's fist. People in the front yard and back alley smelled it, and everyone came talking and laughing.
When I went to the main room, I found it was empty. What about this person
"Idle is idle, I told them to go to the gate of the city to sell watermelons." Qu Hong was not polite to anyone, just raised the chopsticks and ate.
"How many businesses can I have on this hot day, and what kind of melons are they selling?" whispered among the crowd.
Immediately someone shouted: "What do you know, what can Master Qu say wrong?"
He was a little unwilling to speak before, and he rolled his eyes and asked again, "I heard that Master Qu is watching a playbook recently? It's good to be brave. We will pass by Yangzhou tomorrow and go to the theater to see and see."
"You are so beautiful!" Qu Hong scolded with a smile.
He looked up and saw that Chen He had come in, and Shi Feng had used some spells just like the previous days, and mortals turned a blind eye to him.
"Eat, what are you doing?" Qu Hong raised his hand and pressed Chen He on the chair beside him. He couldn't help but say, and stuffed half of the crucian carp into the little apprentice's bowl.
The others breathed a sigh of relief.
Since the first day everyone ate the unsalted and charred grilled fish, everyone on the table was thankful for this unchanging grilled fish, lest they take a second look and be persuaded to eat it.
Often after a meal, how the fish is brought up and down.
Qu Hong said meaningfully to Chen He: "Eat it, you haven't tasted grilled fish with fire in stone."
"… "
Chen He looked at his senior brother silently, and Shi Feng stood aside and couldn't help.
"Senior brother, I think Master already knows that we are leaving." Chen He voice transmission.
Shi Feng also felt that, after thinking about it carefully, he didn't notice anything unusual just now. Could it be that Nan Hongzi has reached this level of cultivation
Chen He couldn't wait for his senior brother to respond. He looked up and saw Shi Feng pondering, so he could only bow his head silently and eat the grilled fish resignedly.
To say that there are endless accidents in this world, Chen He felt it again—
After taking a sip, he froze suddenly, looking at the fish blankly, full of disbelief.
"The taste is extraordinary." Qu Hong said regretfully, "Little apprentice, I can't bear to give you half of it."
Chen He didn't know what to say.
He didn't know whether to laugh or cry, Shi Zhonghuo's ability to grill fish was perfect, Qu Hong really had no class, and when the real fire of Samadhi came to him, he didn't come back empty-handed.
"It's not a pity, it's only been a few days since it burned well." Qu Hong squinted.
Don't mention it before, put it there and the mice won't eat it.
"If you don't cut jade, you can't make a weapon, and you don't learn fire, how can this grilled fish be good?"
"… "
Chen He once again lost to Qu Hong, he looked complicated and he hesitated.
The real fire of Samadhi sees things and burns, endlessly, and the weather is full of cruelty, and now even a fish can be cooked just right? In order to learn the ultimate in any practice, one must always master the "degree".
"Sages are bound by morality, mortals are bound by fame and fortune, monks are bound by cause and effect, and I am forced by the way of heaven. The fire in the stone can do whatever it wants. The way of the world?"
Chen He murmured with his divine sense, "But where is my Dao?"
"You think about it yourself." Qu Hong didn't lift his head.
Everyone in the main room was enjoying their meal. Seeing Chen He's sluggish appearance, they all thought it was because of the fish, and they all felt sympathy and turned their heads away.
Chen He held the bowl like this, and didn't speak for a long time. When he recovered, the servants began to clean up the bowls and dishes.
"Don't eat? Give it to me." Qu Hong stretched out his hand.
Chen He avoided subconsciously, got up and walked into the courtyard. Seeing no one around, he motioned for Shi Feng, who was following him, to come and taste the fish.
Qu Hong shouted: "Put down the fish!"
For a while, Chen He used his master and apprentice to discuss the meal, and sat under the elm tree to finish the meal. Shi Zhonghuo slipped here at some point, crouched beside him and watched the fight with a smile on his face.
Shi Zhonghuo is afraid of Shi Feng, and admires Qu Hong, who always "teachs" Shi Feng.
This time it rubbed against Chen He's feet, and when he hugged him happily, Chen He hesitated and didn't pull it away.
"Apprentice, do you want to leave?"
Qu Hong slashed in the direction of Shi Feng's retreat, and asked with a pun.
"Master has guessed, I won't say more." Shi Feng easily avoided this move.
"Do you think Master is getting old?" Qu Hong asked in a muffled voice.
"That's not the case. Master has the ability to deal with all dangers, but what about the people here?" Shi Feng whispered, "They are just ordinary people. In a few years, they will know how to save money, establish a family, get married, and have children. I'm running for a living in the rivers and lakes, and Master didn't have this idea."
Qu Hong slowed down his moves and sighed: "Not bad."
There is no banquet in the world.
One day, Qu Hong will also leave this small town, the alleys and courtyards full of elms and paved with bluestone slabs, and these people.
"Okay, let's go with fire in stone."
Qu Hong took out the cigarette stick and said slowly, "This world is in chaos, and you are still waiting for your part in the show. By the way, this playbook is not bad, as expected I didn't have money to eat back then, so I brought you to the theater to deliver tea. Sell snacks."
Shi Feng simply refused to answer this and said to himself, "I will pay more attention to Yang Xinyue's matter in the Southern Hezong Sect. If I have any doubts, I will come back to ask the teacher."
Qu Hongman casually glanced at the little apprentice standing next to him, and suddenly smiled strangely: "There's no need to ask for advice, I don't know anything about the things eight thousand years ago, or other things are important - just, I can't give you anything when I'm alone for my teacher. What advice? I just want to remind my disciples, seeing that the seventh day of the seventh lunar month is approaching, in Xiaoyang Mountain not far from here, many Taoist companions from the cultivation world gather every year to exchange experience in dual cultivation, why don't you go and have a look?"
"… "
