Chapter 3354 A gentleman strives to be strong, an ant trying to shake a tree

Qi Jingchun retracted his gaze, looked at the girl lying on the ground calmly and gently, and spoke.

"I, Qi Jingchun, am just a corrupt scholar under the saint's tutelage, and I can force you to kowtow. If you want to do whatever you want, there are people who are more unreasonable than you, and they can crush you with just one finger!"

"Where is there absolute freedom in the world? The Confucian saint has established various rituals, isn't it seeking another kind of freedom for all living things? As long as you don't go beyond the rules, don't violate the rules, just abide by the etiquette, one day, the world is so big, there is no place you can't go?"

Zhigui's face was pale, and there was still blood on the corners of his mouth. He raised his head and stared at Qi Jingchun, and slowly stood up, with three points of dissatisfaction, three points of awe, three points of fear, and one point of contemplation in his expression.

Qi Jingchun pulsed his feet, and the surrounding space twisted. He had previously activated the formation of Lizhu Cave Heaven to isolate this place to avoid disturbing the residents of the town. At this time, as his thoughts turned, Zhigui returned to the familiar environment again and appeared in Niping Lane.

The bright sunshine fell from the sky and shone on Qi Jingchun's body, shining brightly, as sacred and solemn as the Buddha. The gentle spring breeze blew past, blowing the figure of this Confucian saint, and his clothes fluttered, adding a bit of Taoist purity and etherealness. Only the upright waist and gentle words made people feel that he was a Confucian saint, with a noble spirit, upright and open, and taught everyone.

Zhigui's body was swaying, with a bit of Xizi's weakness, and his expression was panic.

"Mr. Qi's teachings, I remember!"

Qi Jingchun nodded slightly, seemed to be very satisfied with Zhigui's words, turned around and left, his back was as usual, elegant and handsome, upright and upright.

Zhigui's eyes changed slightly, but he still couldn't help but ask again a doubt that had existed in his heart for a long time.

"I was ungrateful and betrayed Chen Pingan. As a Confucian saint, with high moral character and moral gentleman, why did you choose to stand by and watch?"

"The master looked at his disciple Zhao Yao and my young master differently, and he treated Chen Pingan, who had an ordinary background, just so-so! It seems that he is no different from a merchant who pursues profit. If it is a rare commodity, he will cultivate it carefully. If it is worthless, he will deal with it casually and perfunctorily, and he doesn't care about it at all!"

"He is even worse than the pure sword cultivator just now. Although I don't know what his relationship with Chen Pingan is, he did it for Chen Pingan and wanted to kill me!"

Zhigui showed a puzzled expression on her face. If Qi Jingchun said that he didn't care about Chen Pingan at all, she didn't believe it, otherwise he wouldn't have warned her to stop while she was ahead and not to eat away at Chen Pingan's luck. He even used the back-up left by the saints of the three religions to directly suppress her.

However, if Qi Jingchun said that he valued Chen Pingan very much, she would not believe it, because he had never interfered with Chen Pingan's fate and life, and let the boy live a hard life in the town, never helped him, and did not teach him to practice.

Qi Jingchun paused slightly, and took another step. His gentle and clear voice blended into the spring breeze and reached Zhigui's ears, making her stunned.

"Heaven moves vigorously, and a gentleman strives for self-improvement!"

In Chen Pingan's courtyard, the light in the house was dim and the environment was simple. Zhou Jue sat in front of the wooden bed, his back straight and upright, like a magic sword, and the vast sword intent was faintly revealed, as if to pierce the sky, cut off the road, and seek a free and unrestrained life. A trace of blame flashed in his clear eyes like spring water, and he said coldly.

"You are such a worry girl. Why don't you just stay at Jianqi Great Wall and wait for me to come back? Why do you have to come to Haoran World, Lizhu Cave Heaven? This place is full of good and bad people. Your cultivation level is too low to protect your own safety!"

Ning Yao, who was seriously injured and dying just now, has sat up. She crossed her legs and stood as straight as Zhou Jue. Her heroic face showed a bit of stubbornness. Her eyebrows were not like willow leaves but like narrow knives. Her eyes were shimmering with light and there was a sharp edge under the light. Facing the gaze of her senior brother, she felt a little guilty for some reason and explained.

"Brother, I just don't want to practice under your protection all the time! You have taken all the responsibilities, and you have to fight for the revenge of my parents!"

Ning Yao showed a bit of sadness on her face. The death of Ning Heng and his wife in the battle was a big blow to Ning Yao, and it also made her grow up quickly. If Zhou Jue hadn't shouldered all the honors and disgraces, how could she have a peaceful growth environment.

In the past few years, it's not that there are no sword cultivators in Jianqi Great Wall who question the honor and record of Ning Heng and his wife, but facing the Weiyin Immortal Sword on Zhou Jue's waist, they all shut their stinky mouths. The personalities of sword cultivators are very direct and simple. Right and wrong are determined by the long sword in their hands. Victory is right, and defeat is wrong. Now everyone in Jianqi Great Wall doesn't know that the disciple of Ning Heng and his wife is young, but he is extremely talented and outstanding. He has become a great sword fairy in the upper five realms. He is extremely powerful and has an extremely domineering personality. He will not tolerate anyone questioning his master.

Zhou Jue frowned slightly, somewhat dissatisfied, but seeing that the girl's eyes did not give in at all, he sighed, reached out and patted the girl's head, and comforted her.

"Your character is really the same as Master's wife, you refuse to admit defeat, you are stubborn, but this is also the character of my generation of sword cultivators!"

Ning Yao felt the warmth from the big hand on his head, the stubbornness on his face disappeared, and he became a little softer, lowering his head and speaking again.

"I heard that Master Ruan, the number one sword forger in Dongbaopingzhou, plans to open a furnace to forge swords here, so I followed him all the way here, hoping that he can help me forge a sword."

"Ruan Qiong? His sword-making skills may not be as good as mine. If you need it, I can help you make a good sword!"

Although Zhou Jue is a pure sword cultivator in the Fourteenth Realm, he is proficient in hundreds of arts, poems, songs, and mysteries of hundreds of schools of thought. He knows everything and is proficient in everything. It is only in order to polish the flawless sword heart that has been tempered many times that he rarely reveals it. Act with the character of a sword cultivator.

When Ning Yao heard this, a trace of surprise flashed in her sword eyes. She didn't know that her senior brother was actually good at making swords. Her eyelids drooped slightly, she thought for a moment, then shook her head and said.

"Senior brother, there are some things that I need to experience personally. If I grow up under your protection all the time, it will be difficult for me to become a master!"

Zhou Jue nodded slightly, Ning Yao had grown up, and it was time for him to let go and let her experience the storms of the outside world on her own.

"That's all, what you said makes sense, it's time to let you grow up freely!"

Zhou Jue finally relented. Ning Yao has also grown up a lot in the past few years. His sword cultivation has reached the nine-level golden elixir realm, and his martial arts cultivation has also reached the six-level martial courage realm. Among the younger generation, the strength of this level of cultivation is unparalleled. It is already far ahead, the best in the world.

It was precisely because of Ning Yao's amazing qualifications that the eunuch and eunuch of the Sui Dynasty would kill him, eradicate the roots, and not allow Ning Yao to grow up and take revenge in the future, threatening the life of the prince of the Sui Dynasty.

"Ruan Qiong is known as the chief swordsmith of Aquarius Continent. He was born in Fengxue Temple. He is the last saint in Lizhu Cave Heaven and has the strength of Jade Pu Realm. If you want him to make a sword for you personally , I’m afraid it’s going to be quite difficult!”

Ruan Qiong was a sword cultivator in the upper fifth realm. Although he was nothing in Zhou Jue's eyes, he was not something Ning Yao could easily impress. If he wanted him to forge a sword for him personally, he would probably have to pay a high price.

"It's really difficult!"

Ning Yao stretched out his hand and scratched his head, with a look of trouble on his face, and said helplessly.

At this moment, Chen Ping'an, a boy in straw sandals, held a bag of herbal medicine bags in his hand and a small package in his right hand. He symbolically knocked on the door, then quickly crossed the threshold, put the medicinal materials on the table, and said softly.

"Sir, can you see if you grabbed the wrong medicinal materials? If so, I'll change them right away."

Zhou Jue's nose twitched slightly, and the smell of various medicinal materials was captured by him. Chen Ping'an's memory was indeed good, without any mistakes. He nodded slightly and said with a smile.

"Don't do it!"

At this time, Ning Yao turned his attention to the boy with straw sandals. His face was thin and his body looked shriveled. There was no flesh on his body. The clothes on his body were made of linen. He must have been living in a difficult situation.

"Hello, my father's surname is Ning and my mother's surname is Yao, so my name is Ning Yao. Thank you for saving me!"

"Hello, my father's surname is Chen, and my mother's surname is Chen, so my name is Chen Pingan!"

"You're welcome. It wasn't me who saved you. It was the Taoist priest who set up a fortune-telling stall in the town who saved you. I just took you in!"

Chen Pingan's eyes were a bit embarrassed and awkward, and he subconsciously followed Ning Yao's words.

Zhou Jue's eyebrows were slightly lowered, his gaze was deep, and a red line in the void came into his eyes. He pinched two fingers of his right hand and shot out a sword energy. The red line broke, and the secret of heaven instantly became chaotic, making countless people look at him.

In the Lizhu Cave, the young Taoist had just stabilized his Taoist heart when he noticed something strange. He raised his head and looked up into the sky. A pure sword light, vast and majestic, fell from the nine heavens, fell straight down, and cut into his Taoist path again. A crack quietly emerged in his heart, causing his face to turn pale suddenly. A trace of blood seeped out from the corner of his mouth. He stretched out his hand to wipe it away slowly, with a hint of weakness in his voice.

"What a pure sword cultivator at the 14th level, with unparalleled fighting power. Even I dare not face his edge. This person is already invincible at the 15th level!"

"The marriage thread I held for Chen Ping'an has been cut off. It seems that some of the plans cannot be implemented, and the plan can only be changed!"

Inside the room, Ning Yao noticed the secret sword energy and glanced at Zhou Jue in confusion. He didn't see anything, and then he looked at Chen Ping'an again.

Zhou Jue looked calm. He could allow Ning Yao to fall in love with Chen Pingan, but he would never allow Ning Yao to fall in love with Chen Pingan because of other people's calculations. There was a big difference between the two.

Ning Yao didn't have much reaction to Chen Pingan's words, she was very calm. She was a straightforward woman, a woman who did not give in to her husband's eyebrows. She never hesitated and spoke directly.

"Be reasonable when doing things and be kind to others. No matter how you say it, thank you very much!"

Ning Yao's personality is different from Zhou Jue's. Although he is a swordsman who would rather bend than bend, and is happy with revenge, he is far more reasonable and upright than Zhou Jue.

Zhou Jue's eyes moved slightly, looking at Chen Ping'an, feeling his breath, and suddenly spoke.

"You were poked between your eyebrows, your acupuncture points were forced, and your heart was slapped. It destroyed the source of your life, and interrupted your bridge of immortality. It was a dirty trick. I'm afraid your life will be short-lived!"

Chen Ping'an looked calm, not panicked or frightened by Zhou Jue's words, and even had a bit of indifference in his eyes, as if he didn't care about his life or death at all.

"You are young, but you already look down on life and death. You must have experienced hardships in the world. You may feel that there is not much difference between living and dying."

"You may even be looking forward to reuniting with your parents in the underworld after death and being their children for the rest of your life!"

Zhou Jue's sword mind was clear and he knew Chen Pingan's thoughts clearly. He said calmly without any expression on his face.

"I can tell you clearly, don't dream anymore. Even those monks in the upper five realms who can change the color of mountains and rivers can't even think of interfering with the cycle of reincarnation. Without that kind of ability to reach the sky, it is even more impossible for you!"

Chen Ping'an's expression changed when he heard this, his hands and feet were cold. His last extravagant hope was shattered by Zhou Jue's cold words. Even if he died, he would not be able to see his parents or be their child for the rest of his life.

Zhou Jue watched with cold eyes as Chen Pingan fell into despair. He could not break up or establish. Only by shattering all of Chen Pingan's hopes could he wake up and have the desire to survive.

The room fell into silence. After an unknown amount of time, Chen Pingan looked at Zhou Jue and Ning Yao again and asked.

"Can I ask some questions?"

"Yes, it's just that some things involve secrets. Although I can tell you, but you are not lucky enough to hear it, so I won't tell you!"

"How long does it usually take for outsiders to leave when they come to a small town?"

Chen Pingan nodded understandingly. His question did not involve those secrets, but just some ordinary news.

"Not necessarily. Some people are lucky and may come and go on the same day. Some people are unlucky and have to stay here for the rest of their lives. It depends on personal luck, but if you ask someone, I can do the math for you!"

Zhou Jue raised his right hand and pretended to pinch his fingers. An inexplicable aura enveloped the room. It was mysterious and mysterious. Even Ning Yao, who had a calm expression, looked surprised. It seemed that he had not expected that his senior brother He can actually tell fortunes.

"For example, that tall, young woman who ruined your foundation!"

"You must want to take revenge on him!"

Zhou Jue's eyes were deep and deep, and he could see into people's hearts. Chen Ping'an couldn't hide his thoughts from him, so he spoke directly.

"I want to know why she wanted to kill me. We just met for the first time."

Chen Pingan's expression was heavy, and he turned to look outside the house. The bright sunshine was bright, but it could not illuminate the gloom in his heart.

"On the way to practice, I walked through mountains and rivers, some were wide and some were narrow, there were Yangguan roads, and single-plank bridges. When I walked fast, I accidentally stepped on ants to death. When I was hungry, I caught a few fish from the river. I have made some small achievements in Taoism, and I can use it at will. , it’s possible to accidentally kill a bird, snake, or rat. Do you understand what I mean?”

Zhou Jue's expression was indifferent, he glanced at Chen Pingan gently, and said casually.

Chen Pingan nodded slightly, his expression became more and more serious, but he had already made up his mind to seek justice for himself, so he spoke.

"I understand, I am that ant! However, ants also have their own dignity, and some things must be reasonable!"

"As the saying goes, it's ridiculous for a small insect to shake a big tree!"

Zhou Jue had a half-smile expression on his face, watching the straw-shoe boy with interest. Seeing that Chen Pingan was not moved by his words, he became more appreciative and spoke again.

"If a person is ignorant, he is just like a worm shaking a big tree. He is ridiculous and does not know how to measure himself. If a person is fearless, he is like a small worm shaking a big tree. He is respectable but does not know how to measure himself!"

Hearing this, Chen Ping'an's face glowed with astonishing brilliance, his eyes were bright and energetic, and he exhaled the turbid breath he was holding in his chest. He felt that his whole body relaxed, and there was no longer any doubt, as if he had completed an amazing transformation and turned into a cocoon. As a butterfly, she began to show her own style.

"Thank you sir for your advice, the boy has learned a lesson!"

Chen Ping'an bowed. For some reason, when facing this young man who looked young, he always felt as if he was facing Mr. Qi. He regarded him as a senior and did not dare to show any disrespect.

"You can teach me a kid!"

Zhou Jue nodded slightly, but said nothing more and had no intention of helping Chen Ping'an.

The straw-shoe boy also asked for help. He was not the kind of person who wanted to repay favors. This was his own business and he did not want to trouble others.

Thoughts were swirling in Zhou Jue's mind. Chen Ping'an only knew that it was Cai Jinjian who interrupted his Immortal Bridge, but he didn't know that there was someone behind the plot. That person was Liu Zhimao, a Yuanying realm monk who called himself Zhenjun Jiejiang and was a Shu Jianhu The casual cultivator.

Liu Zhimao wanted to take Gu Can and the water-attribute dragon and little loach as his own, so he wanted to kill Chen Pingan. Cai Jinjian was just a pawn of his.

"Cai Jinjian will be left to Chen Pingan to deal with. As for Liu Zhimao, let him live. In the future, he and Gu Can will be used to help Chen Pingan understand his heart and realize the great truth. It can be regarded as a waste, but the death penalty can be avoided, and the living penalty can be avoided. It’s hard to escape, just give him a sword!”

Chen Ping'an turned his back, walked to a corner, hid something in the palm of his hand, then stood up and said to Zhou Jue and Zhou Jue with a smile.

"I forgot that I don't have a clay pot for decoction at home. I'll go to the town and buy one!"

Zhou Jue and Ning Yao were so cultivated and had keen senses that they naturally knew that there was a piece of porcelain hidden in the straw-shoe boy's hand. It was extremely sharp and could be used as a weapon to cut a person's neck.

Chen Ping'an was in a hurry and was about to step out of the hospital door. Ning Yao saw that Zhou Jue was indifferent, his expression changed, he couldn't sit still, and suddenly shouted.

"Chen Pingan, wait a minute, I have something to tell you!"

Chen Pingan could only stop and turned to look at Ning Yao. The expression on his face was very unnatural. He was not good at lying and felt guilty for no reason.

Ning Yao didn't want to stop Chen Ping'an from seeking justice for himself, but he couldn't bear that this kind-hearted young man died in vain, so he gave some advice.

"When we outsiders come to the town, our bodies are stronger than ordinary people, but we are also subject to restrictions, no different from you. And outsiders are not allowed to kill people here. Once they violate it, they will be expelled for whatever reason. You are destined to gain nothing. The price is so high that it is beyond your imagination. You have to think clearly. In times of crisis, we foreigners will definitely take action even if we are left empty-handed. After all, survival is the most fundamental thing. "

"Miss Ning, you mean that I have to strike quickly so that she can't react, right?"

Chen Ping'an was not a fool, he could even be called smart. He instantly understood the meaning of Ning Yao's words.

Ning Yao nodded with a smile, satisfied with Chen Ping'an's understanding, and continued.

"That's right, you should be quick to attack, and only if you do your best will you be able to succeed!" (End of Chapter)
