Immortality: Start with the Gourd Sword Art

Chapter 27 What meets the eye is destiny
  This Nongyu Tower is indeed the largest place of leisure in Nanyang Mansion. It is also very lively in the clear sky and daylight. Many talented people and beauties are sitting in the elegant rooms, dancing and writing, and cheers can be heard from time to time.

Of course, singing and dancing are indispensable in places like this.

As a local snake, Wang Ping was obviously a regular customer. As soon as he entered the building, a charming old lady in her thirties came to entertain her.

"Serve a table of good food and invite two young waiters to come and drink with you. I have to greet the distinguished guests, so don't slack off."

The madam twisted her waist and was about to say something dirty as usual, but Wang Ping blinked and interrupted without waiting.

The madam was also a very discerning person. Seeing how solemn Wang Ping was, he immediately put away his charm, agreed repeatedly, and took the two of them upstairs to the private room. After a while, all the wine and food were served, and what followed was... There were two girls aged seventeen or eighteen.

It is said to be a private room, but in fact it is separated by a screen and is not private.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, please." Two young waiters filled their glasses, and Wang Ping raised his glass to toast Xu Li.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, please come too."

After a glass of water and wine, Wang Ping asked:

"Most Taoist friends from Taibai Sword Sect are walking in the northwest, but few come to Yuyang. Do you have anything to do when you come here? I still have some respect in Nanyang. If you have orders, I will definitely do it. Will refuse."

Xu Li put down his wine glass and said with a smile:

"It's nothing wrong. I just traveled here and felt something in my heart. I spent some time in seclusion. It was unlucky that I met a fellow Taoist as soon as I came out of seclusion."

Xu Li was funny in his words and did not have the airs of a high-ranking sect. Just a little contact made Wang Ping fall in love with him, and he personally picked up the wine bottle and said to Xu Liman:

"Fellow Taoist is right. It's really fate. Please invite me again, Friend Taoist."

Xu Li didn't refuse. For people like them who had advanced cultivation, although the wine was mellow, it was still a bit too hot to be intoxicating.

The two of them drank and drank, but after a while the unfamiliarity disappeared. The two young men were also very eye-catching, and they cheered from time to time.

Xu Li didn't overstep the rules or be restrained by these young shepherds, and seemed extremely relaxed.

While he and Wang Ping were asking about what had happened over the past year, he was also asking for advice on poetry from the Ruyi girl who was serving him. The host and guest had a great time.

Not to mention, although it has only been more than a year, some big things have really happened in Chi County China.

Among them, Master Zhong came out to teach those old dragons. As mentioned above, I won’t go into details here. In the direction of Jinghu Lake, the old monk opened up the Jinghu Lake Spiritual Realm, which attracted many monks to go there. Unfortunately, they didn’t see him. Some monks Returning disappointed, some went to beg for alms on the spot near Jinghu Lake and built temples to worship this living divine monk, the "Lohan Subduing the Dragon".

In addition to the two events related to Xu Li, there are two other major events. One is the increasingly fierce struggle between Buddhism and Taoism in Luoyang Dongdu, coupled with the secret sway of the Tang Emperor, which stimulated the leaders of the two Buddhist and Taoist families in Luoyang to hold a land and water conference. , a public fight, as for the outcome, the result has not yet been determined, and Wang Ping does not know.

Wang Ping didn't know, and Xu Li didn't have much thought to explore it. The dispute between Buddhism and Taoism was a big matter, but it had nothing to do with him, and he had no interest in getting involved.

Another major event was that the Nine Heavens Witch 'Su Ziying' used her Qi training body to refine 'Mrs. Wanhua', a Yuanshen elder from the Yin Yang Sect who is also a major demon sect, into a magic weapon, the Soul-Draining Bell. Hearing how fierce this senior sister was, Xu Li couldn't help but be shocked: "It's so ferocious to kill Yuanshen with Qi training. This senior sister is really powerful. If I hadn't seen those three vaginas and this Wang Pingdao in front of me, Friend, I really thought that there were all such geniuses in this spiritual world."

In fact, since he entered the practice, all the people he has met are outstanding, not to mention people like Qiao Xuan and the old monk who have achieved immortality, and people like Su Ziying and Fen Tuo who can compete with warmth and nourishment. The ultimate witch of Yuanshen, the Buddhist master, the Song sisters who were miserably bullied, or Xiao Xueer, which one is not born with immortal bones and extraordinary talents?
  This is also due to his starting point being too high when he entered cultivation.

The banquet lasted for more than an hour, during which Xu Li also saw what the talented and beautiful women in this world looked like.

To be honest, there wasn't much special about it. It was far inferior to those poems and songs that were famous throughout the ages in his memory.

But think about it, although Nanyang Mansion is considered a big city and prosperous, its literary style is not very prosperous. Compared with the nobility at the feet of the emperor of Luoyang and the wealth and mist of Xuyang and Liangjiang, there are really not many famous literati, let alone Not to mention the kind of great writer who can dominate an era.

After having a good time drinking, Wang Ping kindly invited Xu Li to stay at his house temporarily so that he could ask some questions about his cultivation.

Xu Li's own level is actually a bit lower than Wang Ping's, but he was born in a white background. He can read many classics and insights that casual cultivators would never see in his lifetime, and with his superb understanding, he can't say that he has fully understood them. , but after saying something with some understanding, he was still a little humble.

Xu Li himself also wanted to collect some hardware items to use in practicing the final Five-Path Hardware Yuan Talisman Sword Ribbon. Having such a fellow Taoist local snake to help him could save him a lot of trouble.

Therefore, when Xu Li heard Wang Ping's invitation, he just thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

When they arrived at the palace, Wang Ping served tea with his servants, and then asked for advice on some difficult questions about cultivation. For Xu Li, these questions were basically easy to understand at a glance and were not difficult at all.

Xu Li answered casually, but Wang Ping felt very excited when he heard it. Many things that he had never understood before were clearly explained by Xu Li in a few words.

"Fellow Taoist has been so kind to me. Wang Ping really doesn't know how to repay you. From now on, my Taoist friends have a destiny, and I will risk my life to repay you."

In just half an hour, Wang Ping was so convinced that he stood up and bowed deeply to him.

Xu Li turned aside slightly and received a half-ceremony. To Xu Li, this knowledge was naturally not worth mentioning, but to Wang Ping, it was no less than the grace of leading the way.

In the world of spiritual practice, the relationship between master and disciple is often much more important than the relationship between father and son. The relationship between father and son may only be for this life, but the relationship between master and disciple may last for several lifetimes or even forever, just like Patriarch Taibai and Patriarch Qiao Kui.

After Wang Pingping finished his great gift and Xu Li returned the half-gift, he smiled and said:
  "Fellow Taoist, you don't have to be like this. Didn't you say that we are destined to be together? Besides, I also need help from fellow Taoist for something. Please don't find it troublesome."

Although Wang Ping came from a different family, he was enthusiastic and upright.

What I saw along the way was that Nanyang Mansion's commerce was prosperous and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. Neither the madam nor the servants who were neighbors of the palace felt trembling with fear, but were rather friendly to them.

Xu Li thought he was a good person, so he gave him some advice and it was nothing. With the request to collect hardware materials, he allowed him to return the favor.

Xu Li is a person who looks pleasing to the eye, so it's easy to say that he is destined.

It doesn't look pleasing to the eye, just like Miss Qiao, he is just a little bit of a minor, and he is also very stingy. This is a complete lack of luck.
