Tian Yuan

Deep in the Qingzong, there is a hidden place.

Surrounded by mountains, clouds and mist curl up.

From a distance, it looks like a splash-ink landscape painting, elegant and quiet, like a fairyland.

There are hundreds of willow trees planted on the shore of the clear lake, with their branches hanging down and dancing in the wind.

Under a certain tree, there are bamboo tables and chairs.

Li Muyang is wearing a light gray robe, his hair is slightly messy, he is carefree and bohemian.

Sitting aside, making tea.

When guests come to visit, don't neglect them.

"clatter..."

There was a slight sound of footsteps.

The monument keeper walked to the lake and kept staring at Li Muyang under the tree. He said in a low voice: "I came to visit suddenly. I hope fellow Taoist friends can forgive me."

"You're welcome, sit down."

Li Muyang had already prepared the tea and said with a polite smile.

The two sat opposite each other, eyes facing each other.

After taking a sip of tea, the monument keeper began to talk about his experiences over the years: "I spent most of my life at the boundary monument. Later, the boundary monument was broken and I was free. I was at a loss for a while. I heard that the snowy areas in Western Xinjiang are beautiful. I went there once, and the jade-white scenery eight million miles away was really moving..."

Li Muyang listened patiently, as if he was immersed in the scene and saw the footprints of the monument keeper traveling through the mountains and rivers.

During the Emperor Star incident back then, the two of them said hello and wanted to sit down and talk. Unfortunately, something happened later and I missed it.

When we meet this time, we should have a good chat and get to know each other.

The conversation lasted several hours.

The keeper of the monument looked at all the famous scenic places in the world, but suddenly he didn't know where to go and lost his goal. Hearing that Chang Geng Sword Immortal had become Qingzong's guest, he came accordingly.

To discuss the Tao, but also to have a place to stay.

In this life, apart from the long-dead master, the person who the monument keeper admires the most is the Dugu ancestor of the Qing sect. So I visited Qingzong a few years ago to pay homage.

Now, because of Sword Immortal and Chen Qingyuan, the keeper of the monument plans to find a secluded place nearby and live here in seclusion.

Talking about Taoism and drinking wine with the Sword Immortal on weekdays can not only relieve the pain of loneliness, but also discuss spiritual practice.

"King Jing, Marquis Changjing."

After chatting, the two talked about a serious topic.

The reason is that when the two parties first met, they could just sit and chat like old friends, relax and not need to be vigilant. It's because both of them have a causal relationship with Emperor Taiwei.

The seven generals under Taiwei's command guard one side to ensure peace, health and order in all the worlds.

Li Muyang received the order from King Jing, and the keeper of the stele was a descendant of Marquis Changjing.

Because of this relationship, the two of them have obviously known each other for a short time, but they feel like they have known each other for many years. They don't have to wear masks to interact with each other, and everything they say comes from the heart.

Just like this, the monument keeper started to talk about his experiences in these years, as if he was reminiscing with an old friend who had been separated for many years.

"I haven't met the Emperor yet."

The monument keeper said.

The emperor's son in his mouth is Huang Xingyan, so he calls him respectfully.

"There's a chance."

Li Muyang smiled.

After the Emperor Star incident ended, Huang Xingyan stayed in Qingzong for a few days and then went to practice. The news is still unknown.

"It is your and my duty to protect the Emperor's son."

Although the responsibility of the monument keeper is to guard the boundary monument, as a descendant of Changjinghou, he should protect Taiwei's descendants, and he can sacrifice his life for this.

"Yes." Li Muyang nodded slightly, agreeing very much.

"Fellow Taoist, would you like to have a discussion?"

After chatting for so long, the monument keeper made a request.

"It is a great honor to compete with you."

Li Muyang smiled slightly, there was no reason to refuse.

Suddenly, a strong wind blew up in the courtyard, causing countless willow branches to fly. Some of them hit the water surface, creating ripples and splashing a few drops of water.

In the blink of an eye, the splashing water droplets hung in the air without falling. The dancing willow branches were frozen, motionless.

Time seems to have stopped.

The two looked at each other, seemingly motionless, but in fact they had already taken action.

In a daze, two black figures stood on the lake, moving back and forth, causing a wave of profound law fluctuations. Sometimes deep into the bottom of the lake, sometimes standing in the sea of ​​clouds.

This is the power of the two people's spiritual consciousness. They discussed Taoism and suppressed the movement to the minimum, so as not to affect the operation of Qingzong.

In terms of strength, Li Muyang is definitely stronger. After all, he has already taken nine steps into the Divine Bridge with one foot, which can be said to be half a step to the quasi-emperor level, and he has also gained a great opportunity by entering Tianshu Tower.

However, the discussion said that the battle is not about winning or losing, but learning from each other and making progress together.

One is the ultimate swordsman in the world, and the other is a being who stands at the pinnacle of the sword.

Although the paths taken are different, they are all unified, and each has gained insights from the process of discussion.

......

A month later, Lin Changsheng came to Jianxian's residence.

Send a message to ask if you can enter.

The sword fairy lifted the restriction outside the door and welcomed him.

As a guest, I would definitely not turn away the sect master. That would be too ignorant.

I respect my superiors and call my sect master my senior brother.

Although the Sword Immortal is strong, he still has to understand the ways of the world.

"Sect Master, why are you here today?"

In the courtyard, Li Muyang was playing chess with the monument keeper. The two had a harmonious relationship, and it was a shame that they met so late.

Seeing the two old men playing chess leisurely, Lin Changsheng was really envious. I hope that when I get older, I can live such a comfortable life and no longer have to worry about all kinds of trivial matters in the sect.

"This is the key to Donglan Residence. It's right next door. When I came here this time, I wanted to give the key to Senior Shoubi. I hope Senior won't dislike it. If there is anything inappropriate, I will correct it immediately."

Lin Changsheng had prepared the residence of the monument keeper a long time ago. He did not take it out immediately because he was afraid that the monument keeper would come and take a walk and then leave.

Under the current circumstances, the monument keeper is unlikely to leave for a while. Naturally, he must find an elegant residence for him, and there must be no neglect.

"Thank you."

After hearing this, the monument keeper stopped playing chess and stood up to express his thanks.

"Senior, there is no need to be polite." Lin Changsheng bowed his hand and handed the key to the jade plaque into the hands of the monument keeper.

Taking over this residence means that the monument keeper will always live here in the future. Whether you are a guest or not is just a name, it is actually not that important.

The purpose of publicizing the fact that Sword Immortal became a guest guest was to scare Xiao Xiao.

The monument keeper likes peace and quiet and can live here as long as he wants. Because of this friendship, it is impossible for Qing Zong to sit idly by when troubles arise in the future.

This is an excellent thing for Qing Zong.

With these two people in charge, even if the Immortal Ancient Clan comes to attack Qingzong tomorrow, there is no need to worry too much and there will be no big problems.

"I won't disturb you two anymore, I'll take my leave first."

Lin Changsheng still had a lot of official business to deal with, so he clasped his fists and said, turned around and left with a smile on his face.

"It's your turn, don't wait."

At this time, Li Muyang began to urge.

"I didn't perform well this game, I'll do the next one."

Seeing that the situation on the chessboard is not in his favor, he is about to lose. The monument keeper frowned slightly, cleared the chessboard with a wave of his sleeves, and started over.

Li Muyang glared at him: "Do you have any chess pieces?"

"No."

The monument keeper replied simply and neatly, with an indifferent look on his face, a bit like a scoundrel.

Li Muyang: "..."
