Lord, I'm floating

Chapter 179: Sobriety and confusion are indistinguishable

He put the sketch into his sleeve very discreetly and kept it there to ponder it slowly.

Gu Zong drank another bowl of turbid wine, let out a long breath, and said: "I have been trapped in the bottleneck for nearly 50 years, hanging out in the smoke and smoke of this world, watching life, suffering the hardships of the world, killing evil spirits and doing good deeds to earn merit. , If you want to find that slim opportunity to break the elixir, alas, the secret is unpredictable and impossible to come by."

Chen Mou smiled and said: "Senior brother, the direction you insist on should be right..."

He paused suddenly at this point, as if he was lost in thought.

With his knowledge of cultivation, how could he give random instructions on how to break through the golden elixir consummation?

In the past, it was a blind cat that bumped into a dead mouse. It was an empty and empty principle, and there was no need to apply it to our own people.

He had sent a message to Lao Yuan who was doing nothing about Senior Brother Gu's situation, and was looking for a way to break the situation.

At this time, he was listening to Lao Yuan's lengthy and cumbersome ramblings, describing several solutions to this situation, which were related to Senior Brother Gu's future. He endured Lao Yuan's long and stinky showoff, which was mixed with A little sparkle essence.

I wish I could give Lao Yuan a jar of turbid wine and taste the fake stuff mixed with water in this world.

Gu Zong pinched a salted bean and chewed it slowly without disturbing his junior brother's thoughts.

He didn't put the hope of breaking through the situation on his junior brother. Old Man Hong had the opportunity to find a way out from the drawings drawn by his junior brother. He wanted to find someone to talk to about the sourness in his heart and relieve the unspeakable depression.

It was impossible to drag two junior sisters, Ning Weizhi and Mei Xiaoluan, into talking about irrelevant things in their hearts.

Not to mention that we can't disturb Senior Brother's Qing Xiu, who needs to get rid of some kind of predicament.

To cultivate himself, he needs to break the obstacles himself.

Seeing that the junior brother was supporting his head with his hands and staring at the table, seemingly lost in thought, he broke the small restriction and walked to the counter near the door of the shop with a plate of salted beans. He said to the young shopkeeper who stood up: "These beans are The old stuff from three years ago doesn’t taste good.”

The young shopkeeper apologized repeatedly and turned to scold the waiter, "Cripple, how could you serve bad beans to Taoist Master? You have no discernment. Why don't you get a plate of this year's new beans and pour more ingredients? Don't be lazy. "

Gu Zong sighed in his heart, not wanting to lecture the little guy who was more than ten generations away.

He will use up the little love he has for his descendants.

He has seen too much of the ebb and flow of prosperity in the world.

Turn around and walk back to the dark seat in the innermost corner.

The crippled boy brought another plate of plump new beans, and quickly apologized to the two Taoist masters. After Gu Zong waved his hand to show that he didn't care, he nodded and bowed before going back to work.

Chen Mou looked at Senior Brother Gu opposite him and said with a smile: "Senior Brother, you are too sober. Although you are on the right path, how long have you been concerned about in the mortal world? As the saying goes, 'A barrier obscures the golden eye, and it is rare to be confused.' Maybe you can change An environment for seeking the truth.”

Lao Yuan is still reliable, and his few words of advice are straightforward and hit the mark.

Gu Zong was stunned and murmured: "Are you too sober?"

He sat on the bench, half-squinting his eyes, and was lost in the memories of the past. One by one, they passed quickly like a revolving lantern, and he was asking himself.

Chen Mou was not in a hurry. He picked up the salted beans with chopsticks and tasted them. They tasted okay.

After he had almost eaten a plate of salted beans, and Youzaiyouzai had finished three bowls of turbid wine, Gu Zong stood up across from him, straightened his robes, and bowed with his hands raised, his expression rare and serious.

"Senior brother, you've passed it, you've passed it, and you still don't want people to drink wine."

Chen Mou quickly put down his chopsticks and returned the gesture.

"It's worth waking up the dreamer with just one word, haha, the drink today is worth it." Gu Zong became bold and unruly again, stepped on the stool, picked up the wine jar, raised his head and poured it into his mouth, Not long after, the empty wine jar was pressed on the table with a bang.

"Let's go, I'll accompany you back to the sect."

Gu Zong strode to the counter, slapped his hand in front of the young shopkeeper who stood up to see him off, left a large ingot of official silver, a full 50 taels, and left without looking back.

From now on, I have let go of my last concern with the world.

Chen Mou fell behind and said to the surprised shopkeeper: "Take two jars of wine, the kind we drank just now, and a pack of salted beans. I'll reward you with the remaining money."

"Okay, okay."

The young shopkeeper collected the money and ran quickly, personally brought wine and salted water beans to the guests, sent them out and shouted enthusiastically:
"Two Taoists, go slowly and come back next time."

Chen Mou caught up with Senior Brother Gu who was in front of him, put two jars of bad wine and salted water beans wrapped in lotus leaves into his sleeves, and put them in the Hexagonal Pavilion to let Lao Yuan have a taste and quickly take back his consciousness.

Flying out of the city, Gu Zong said: "A few years ago, I wanted to go to Batyan Island in the north of Changzhou to experience in a different environment. I have been undecided. Gu Er and Hu Si died in the waters of Batyan Island."

He was talking about the other two core monks of Nayun Peak, something that happened a hundred years ago.

Regarding senior brother's decision, Chen Mou chose to respect it and said: "In a few years, senior brother Cui Xiao will also go to Batyan Island for training. You should take care of yourself."

Gu Zong sighed: "Sometimes, it's hard to distinguish between clarity and confusion."

He took out a sword-shaped black iron plate from his sleeve and said: "We take the core disciples of Yunfeng to shoulder the quota of 'Exorcism Order'. More than a hundred years ago, I took over the important task from the senior brother and became the one who restrained me. One of the reasons for wandering around this place is that Mei Xiaoluan and Ning Weizhi don't like to fight and kill each other, so if you don't accept it, I can only return this spot to Zhuxie Palace."

Chen Mou had heard of the Order to Kill Evils, and he didn’t like to fight and kill people even more. “Don’t the Orders to Kill Evils require Jindan cultivators to be in charge?”

"Foundation-building monks can serve as evil-killing guards and wear black tags. This is a transitional stage. There is no need to travel outside all year round. Occasionally there will be errands, detectives, and encirclement and suppression tasks. You can join in the fun. It's okay if you don't want to go."

Gu Zong explained, "With the 'Exorcism Order' in hand, all the sins you have committed and the blood curses you have received will be resolved and will not be entangled with you. Killing ghosts and evil spirits will bring you merit, like that How dare the Danyang Sect come to investigate the fact that Hou Chulian failed to attack you secretly and disappeared instead? Everything will be fine if the Zhuxie Palace doesn't order them to investigate themselves."

Another sentence added: "When killing evil spirits, try not to affect innocent people. There were times when evil spirits were not strong enough, indulged in killing, suffered the backlash of being possessed, and ended up with the end of body and soul."

Chen Mou could tell that Senior Brother Gu didn't want to lose this spot and wanted him to take over.

He hesitated a little, wouldn't it be good to be free?
Gu Zong said: "Senior Brother's disciples, within ten or twenty years, some of them should be able to break through to the golden elixir and be qualified to start the inheritance of the next generation of core disciples. At that time, you can pass on the 'Exorcism Order' quota, no matter It’s a waste of the efforts of our seniors.”

He had no disciples, disliked being a burden, and was alone in his family.

Chen Mou smiled and said: "Okay, I will keep this quota for the time being."

The eldest brother has received a total of six direct disciples, three of whom have reached the foundation building level. It is said that there is a eldest disciple who has high hopes, who was promoted to Jindan decades ago, and also died on Batyan Island.

Gu Zong touched the black iron sword plate with his finger and carved Chen Mou's name with magic seal. He threw the plate to Chen Mou and said with a smile: "I will take you to the Execution Hall. Don't worry. There are benefits to taking over the Execution Order." A lot, you can experience it in the future.”

Chen Mou played with the sign and said with a smile: "I'm worried about missing the mission of the Exorcist Guard."

"No, it doesn't matter whether you go or not for the Evil Killing Guard. But from now on, the Evil Killing Guard will have to run around outside all year round."

The two of them talked and flew to the northwest.
