Chapter 166 Natural Enemy!
In the next few days, Tang bandits went to the back mountain to watch the clouds on time.

Get up at five o'clock and deduce "Huang Ting Jing".

Shower and change clothes, enter the cafeteria on time at 07:30, and appear at the gate of the grape courtyard at eight o'clock.

The gold thread is still there.

Therefore, the cloud on the left cannot go to the right, and the cloud on the right cannot go to the left either.

They probably don't care either.

Bandit Tang cared.

He couldn't figure it out, how could the sword energy last for such a long time when he slashed with a sword?
Coagulate but not scattered, like a solid body.

What kind of terrifying power is this?It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a miracle.

Bandit Tang was observing the clouds, as well as the golden thread and the sword energy left by the sword.

And recall the demeanor of the master when he swung the sword
At that time, I thought it was just an ordinary slash, but now that I saw the result and thought about it carefully, I felt that the sword was astonishing.

Of course, he was thinking about the way of the master, and the master cut out with a sword, saying that this was his way.

What is his reasoning?
Also, what is the Tao you want to find?
He sat cross-legged on the edge of the cliff, listening to the mountain wind, basking in the winter sun, concentrating and calmly, like a stone sculpture.

When Shen Xinglan came, he saw the Bandit Tang in the back mountain and asked aloud, "How long has he been here?"

"Seven days." Xuanyuan Mingjing said aloud, raised his head to look at the empty grape rack above his head, and said regretfully: "It's a pity that the grapes are gone."

"I'll have someone bring you some fresh ones." Shen Xinglan said aloud.

If he is willing, the Shen family can pick them snow grapes from Tianshan Mountain, fire grapes from Southern Border, pearl grapes from Huayu Plain, and sunshine grapes from Dongyang Kingdom.
The astrolabe was picked and sent to Phoenix City, and then transported to Bailu Mountain by flying car.

One day is enough.

If there is no delay in the middle, the frost on the snow grapes may not have melted.

Xuanyuan Mingjing shook his head and said, "It's not as delicious as the grapes I grow myself."

After a pause, he said, "It's fine to wait. The longer you wait, the more delicious the grapes will taste when they are ripe."

"Master said so." Shen Xinglan echoed.

"Forget it, let someone bring some over." Xuanyuan Mingjing sighed, and said, "I just want to eat grapes today."

"Yes, Master. I'll let someone arrange it." Shen Xinglan said with a smile.

The master and apprentice looked at each other and smiled. Shen Xinglan looked at the bandit Tang who had enlightened beside the cliff, and asked, "How long has he persisted?"

"One quarter of an hour."

"Smarter than me, he gave up his sword and surrendered early." Shen Xinglan said calmly, "I still want to swing that sword."

"Because he is too smart, it has become an obstacle to his progress." Xuanyuan Mingjing looked at the bandit Tang in the distance, and said aloud: "He seems to have an instinct, he is born to know how to weigh the pros and cons, avoid risks, and stick to the ones that are beneficial." , give up what is unprofitable"

"Is this wrong too?" Shen Xinglan asked aloud.

"It's right to be a human being."

"However, practice is wrong." Xuanyuan Mingjing said aloud: "The Journey of Martial Arts is to start a new path where no one else has gone before. It requires an adventurous spirit."

"When you can open up a new path for the world, and countless descendants follow and imitate it, then you can reach the Tao and step into the realm of the master."

Shen Xinglan pondered for a moment, then asked, "Master, what about me?"

"You like to dig into dead ends." Xuanyuan Mingjing said bluntly: "You are the opposite of him. He gives up too easily, but you like to persist too much."

"You are too proud to think that you can overcome all difficulties in the world with your own ability and wisdom. However, some roads are indeed dead ends, and some truths are actually unreasonable."

"No matter how hard you try, if it doesn't work, it won't work. This way doesn't work, so go find another way."

Shen Xinglan bowed deeply and said, "Thank you for your teaching, Master."

Xuanyuan Mingjing looked up at the sky, and said aloud: "It's time for dinner, let's cook, and let the Tang gangsters have dinner together at noon."

"Yes, master." Shen Xinglan replied, and went to the kitchen to get busy.

Bandit Tang saw that at noon on the seventh day, the golden thread disappeared before his eyes.

The cloud on the left goes to the right, and the cloud on the right goes to the left.

They flow freely and blend into each other.To form a rabbit or a rooster, there are also some unknown shapes.

Tang bandit felt lost in his heart, feeling that he had lost something.

But I feel that I have also gained something, and I can't figure out what I have gained for a while.

After entering Bailu Academy, he felt that his mental state had changed.

I used to practice [-] swords in the morning and practice [-] swords in the evening. How long can I last in the gravity room?
Put your head down and put your head down, quantifying the intensity of your day's training in numbers.

After entering the Bailu Academy, I sat in front of the flowing clouds and golden lines for a whole day, thinking about who am I, where am I, where am I going, and so on.
If it weren't for Xuanyuan Mingjing's great reputation and Bailu Academy's reputation, he would have suspected that he had entered some kind of pheasant university.

This is vision and level?

Of course, basic skills are essential.

Tang Bandit still maintains the previous training intensity, and even because of the better quality of sleep on this mountain, he is still consciously increasing the intensity.

After all, there is a practice room in every student's house, and this Bailu Academy can be regarded as "rich and powerful".

When Bandit Tang returned to the Grape Courtyard, Xuanyuan Mingjing was sitting under the grape vine drinking tea. Seeing Bandit Tang coming down, he asked, "The sword energy has dissipated?"

"The sword energy is gone," Tang bandit said.

I thought to myself, the master is the master, and how long the sword energy can be stagnant is all in his heart.

"Stay here for lunch." Xuanyuan Mingjing said, "Xinglan is cooking."

"Okay." Bandit Tang readily agreed, and said, "I'll help."

"Go."

Tang Bandit came to the kitchen, and Shen Xinglan had already prepared three dishes and one soup. Seeing Tang Bandit coming in, he smiled and said, "You cooked the dishes last time. Today you can try my cooking. What I cook is not as good as yours. If it’s delicious, you’ll be fine with it.”

"It doesn't matter. Senior brother is already doing very well." Tang Bandit said with a smile: "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really didn't think that a person like senior brother would be able to cook."

"What kind of person am I?" Shen Xinglan asked Bandit Tang suddenly.

There was a calm and calm smile on his face, as if this question was just a random question, a small chat between brothers.

Bandit Tang immediately became vigilant, pondered for a moment, and said with a smile: "The proud son of heaven. I heard your name when I just came to Xinxing."

"Everyone, whether they know you or not, say you are the proud son of heaven."

"Heaven's proud son." Shen Xinglan obviously heard such words too much, raised his eyebrows lightly, and said: "It is still doubtful whether the latter two words can be achieved, as for "Heaven's"."

"Forget it, let's not talk about this. Please help me to bring the dishes outside."

"Should be." Bandit Tang said.

But I was thinking about the content behind the word "heavenly" he said. What did he want to express?
Don't want to be the son of heaven?Or are you saying that you can't be the son of heaven?
Obviously, this seemingly perfect teenager also has his own concerns.

It doesn't look any less than yourself.

Shen Xinglan was busy cleaning the kitchen, while Bandit Tang brought the dishes and soup to the stone table in the courtyard. Xuanyuan Mingjing liked to eat in the courtyard.

When the food was served, the master and the apprentice ate hard.

Xuanyuan Mingjing didn't drink, so Tang Bandit and Shen Xinglan naturally didn't dare to mention it.

After Xuanyuan Mingjing ate a bowl of rice and a bowl of soup, he put down the bowl and chopsticks contentedly.

He looked at Shen Xinglan, who was still keeping his back straight while eating, eating gracefully and slowly, and said aloud: "The triennial Tiandao exchange meeting is about to begin. This time, the Phoenix Empire is the organizer. The royal family means Put the place of communication in our egret."

"Put it in the egret?" Shen Xinglan's expression was fixed, he looked at Xuanyuan Mingjing, and asked aloud, "What does Master mean?"

"Egret wants fame, and the royal family needs to be respectable. Therefore, this number one in heaven must be won by Bailu's students."

"Yes. Master." Shen Xinglan replied with a bow.

He knew that when Xuanyuan Mingjing said that he wanted Bailu's student to take the first place, he wanted Shen Xinglan to take the first place.

I still have some confidence.

"However, don't underestimate the heroes of the world. I heard that there are a few good seedlings in the Os Empire."

"I understand." Shen Xinglan's eyes were firm, he put a vegetable leaf into the bowl, and said softly: "I never underestimate others, I just believe in myself."

Xuanyuan Mingjing looked at the aura in his eyes, knew that the catfish effect had begun to show results, and nodded in praise: "If it is very good."

Bandit Tang buried his head in his meal. He knew that this matter had nothing to do with him, and others would not expect too much from him.

After all, he has just entered Bailu, and his cultivation level is far from that of Shen Xinglan.
No matter how much Xuanyuan Mingjing likes to eat the dishes he cooks, it is impossible for him to entrust such an important matter to himself.

As he said just now, this is not only the face of the egret, but also the dignity of the royal family.
More importantly, he still doesn't know what kind of event the Tiandao Exchange Conference is and what kind of process it has.

Because he had never heard of this kind of exchange activity before, and no one around him told him about it.

Refugees from the old land still have a long journey of learning and adapting after coming to New Star.

After eating, Bandit Tang took the initiative to clean up the dishes, while Shen Xinglan made a pot of tea for Xuanyuan Mingjing.

Xuanyuan Mingjing lay down under the vine, and said aloud: "You two go on your own, I want to take a nap."

"Yes, Master." The two replied in unison.

Bandit Tang and Shen Xinglan came out of the grape courtyard, and Shen Xinglan gently helped to close the courtyard door.

"Goodbye, Junior Brother." Shen Xinglan nodded to Bandit Tang, and walked towards the small courtyard where she lived.

"Goodbye, brother." Bandit Tang said, looking at his back.

Bandit Tang suddenly remembered a question. After the two of them met, they never mentioned Phoenix, nor did they mention the name Zhong Yu Xiuxue.

It seemed that Phoenix was a complete stranger to them.

Tang bandits knew that the more they didn't mention it, the more it proved that they cared.

This is a taboo in their hearts.

It seems that he and this senior brother are natural rivals, it is difficult to be friends...

Bandit Tang thought about his thoughts and walked towards the small courtyard where he lived.There are cultural classes in the afternoon, but there is a lunch break in between.

He was a little tired from looking at the clouds, and wanted to go back and take a nap.

Suddenly, a cold voice called his name from behind: "Bandit Tang."
