Immortality: Start with the Gourd Sword Art

Chapter 20 True or False
  The middle door was wide open. Mr. Qiao leaned over and looked around, but saw no one else. He couldn't help but ask Xu Li:

"Little Immortal, where is our ancestor?"

Xu Li knew that the ancestor Mr. Qiao was talking about was Master Qiao Xuan, so he shook his head and said:
  "Master has something to do and can't get away."

Master Qiao was unwilling to give in and asked again:

"What about Chen Xianchang?"

Xu Li shook his head again, and Master Qiao asked again: "Xu Xiangu?"

This Xu Xiangu is talking about Xu Li's second senior sister Xu Hongxiu, the one who went to Huashan to hang out.

Xu Li shook his head again. Mr. Qiao wanted to ask again, but Xu Li interrupted with a smile:
  "Master Qiao, don't ask any more questions. All the teachers and commanders are busy, and only Xiaodao is here."

Xu Li wasn't angry at all. After all, he was too young-looking now, and it was natural for others not to trust him. He couldn't really think that he was born to be the protagonist, and everyone had to support him when he saw him. This was unreasonable.

"This" Mr. Qiao smiled awkwardly and explained: "It's not that I don't believe in little immortals, it's just that this evil spirit is too vicious."

Xu Li waved his hand and said:
  "It's okay. Master Qiao doesn't need to explain. Since I have been entrusted by my senior brother, I will naturally do my best. Please lead the way!"

Cultivation requires not only cultivating the Tao and the power of the Tao, but also cultivating the Tao and the heart and wisdom. Just having the power and the Tao will be like a child dancing with a hammer, hurting others and hurting oneself. On the contrary, if you only cultivate the Tao and have the heart and wisdom, you will be like a scholar with millions of soldiers in his chest. If you don't have the strength to restrain a chicken, you can't use it.

Xu Li did not dare to say how harmonious his Taoist heart was and how enlightened his wisdom was. However, since the Taoist Demonstration Double Refinement and the abandonment of the ordinary heart, many things that seemed to be a big deal to ordinary people have become like a breeze blowing in his face in his heart, and are not worth mentioning. .

Xu Li's face was full of smiles, but there was a sense of confidence and majesty in his words. Master Qiao did not dare to question anymore and quickly invited him in.

As they walked, Master Qiao explained Miss Qiao's situation in detail.

When Xu Licai heard this, he felt that something was wrong, but he didn't express anything on his face. He just nodded to express his understanding.

Arriving at the backyard, Monk Nanshan had already put on his Seven Treasures cassock again, trying hard to look like an eminent monk.

"Is this the Immortal Chief invited by Mr. Qiao? He looks a little too young."

When Monk Nanshan saw Xu Li's appearance, he felt a little calmer, but also a little worried. He was calm because Xu Li was too young, and he didn't think that Xu Li could conquer the evil that he couldn't do anything about. The worry also came from this, although he didn't want to He lost face, but after all, he had listened to many Buddhist scriptures and knew what compassion was, so he was afraid that something might happen to Xu Li and Miss Qiao.

Xu Li had no favorable impression of Buddhism before, but after coming to this world and being influenced by Zen Master Zhi Gong, he gradually understood what a true monk is and what a fake monk is.

Now when I meet the monk, although I won't be very fond of him, I won't be as disgusted as before. He smiled and nodded and said hello. After scanning Miss Qiao's boudoir, my guess became more certain.

"The Yang Qi here is rising, the people are abundant, and there are absolutely no evil spirits."

As Xu Li spoke, the Taoist formula in his hand was not scattered, and the magic power was even more intense.

Master Qiao frowned. Xu Li was not the first person to say this to him, but what about his little daughter's condition?
  "Little girl"

Xu Li smiled, accepted the instructions, walked into the room, and said:

"There are no real evil spirits, but there are quite a few false evil spirits."                                                                                                                                                            Master Qiao quickly followed, and before Xu Li could answer, the Nanshan monk on the side had already patted his head and said:

"That's right! I never thought that such a little girl like you would dare to lie to Buddha."

The people present were either those who had cultivated their skills or were old people who had gone through a lot of officialdom. After Xu Li pointed it out, they all came to their senses.

Monk Nanshan looked annoyed, and Master Qiao looked ugly.

Entering the boudoir, Miss Qiao still looked like she was possessed by evil spirits. When she saw everyone coming again, she immediately showed a vicious look.

Perhaps after Xu Li achieved Xiantian cultivation, his mind was so sharp that he could sense the tension and fear in this girl's heart.

"Did the smelly monk bring in reinforcements again? Do you think I'm afraid?"

Miss Qiao pretended to be calm. Monk Nanshan rolled his eyes. Master Qiao looked ugly and at the same time, he unconsciously became suspicious. Otherwise, Miss Qiao's acting skills were really not bad.

A flash of light spread in Xu Li's eyes. With a glance, he noticed the inconsistency. He strode to Miss Qiao's bed in a few strides, opened the quilt, and a book fell out.

"Mengxi Bi Tan" is a story about gods, ghosts and immortals imagined by a former literati named Mr. Mengxi. The content is bizarre and imaginative, although in the eyes of real practitioners, it is ridiculous. But among the common people, they are loved a lot.

However, after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, this mysterious book was banned and was no longer allowed to be printed or disseminated.

Miss Qiao lives in the boudoir. Although she has a somewhat out-of-the-box personality and is bold, she will never be able to get this old book that has been banned for a hundred years on her own.

Xu Li handed "Mengxi Bi Tan" to Mr. Qiao and said with a smile:
  "This is what evil spirits are. Master Qiao should deal with it himself!"

Master Qiao's face turned pale with anger. After Xu Li found the forbidden book, Miss Qiao knew that the secret had been leaked. After giving Xu Li a fierce look, Miss Qiao spread her hands and said to Master Qiao:
  "Anyway, I won't marry that prince. If dad insists on forcing me, then let's meet father and daughter in the next life!"

After saying that, he turned his head and combed his messy hair.

"You are stupid." Mr. Qiao's lips trembled with anger, and he raised his cane to hit him. At this moment, a young man under twenty came in from outside, grabbed Mr. Qiao and said:
  "I gave my little sister the idea. If my father wants to punish me, he can punish me."

The person who came was none other than Mr. Qiao’s third son. The Qiao family was a wealthy family. Mr. Qiao alone had given birth to more than a dozen children. However, although there were many people, there were few direct descendants. This third son and Miss Qiao were the Qiao family. Legitimate son and legitimate daughter.

Seeing his son obstructing him, Mr. Qiao became even more angry and said angrily:

"You treacherous son, do you know that this is a marriage granted by His Majesty himself. If word spreads, it will be a serious crime of deceiving the emperor and will be beheaded."

Hearing this, the Third Young Master argued:

"Of course I know, but will my little sister's life be ruined just because of the emperor's words? Besides, the Li family has a different regard for my Qiao family. It has never been that my Qiao family is indispensable to the Tang Dynasty, but that I have Our ancestors are from the Taibai Sword Sect. As long as our ancestors are here, our Qiao family will be as stable as Mount Tai. Why should my father sacrifice his little sister for the sake of temporary glory?"

Mr. Qiao was outraged by his son, and he was so angry that he couldn't bear it anymore. He hit the cane in his hand at his son, who was more rebellious than his little daughter.

"Qiao Wei, if you dare to hit me, I will fight with you."
