Every time I wake up, I take the blame for the villain

The night is dark.

The people in the Valley of Evil are still on the plank road, coming down from the turrets and patrolling back and forth.

Kalubi was dressed in black, blindfolded, and the red marks between his eyebrows that were not covered by the strip of cloth looked faintly eerie under the moonlight. At this moment, he was lying leisurely on the roof with his head propped up, stroking a piece of jasper hanging on his chest. Facing the dark night, he seemed careless, but his ears were always paying attention to the movements in the room.

Silently.

He is the wind walking in the dark night.

Not long after, a crow circled from the lighted window and flew away from the highest place in the Valley of the Wicked.

Kalubi listened to the flapping of wings but did not move.

Another half hour passed, and the second crow flew out tonight. Kalubi curled up his lips, exerted a little force on his feet, and flew up, stepping over the dead branches. Before the branches were still, he had reached another branch.

The dark shadow under the moon is silent.

There are always many crows in the Valley of the Wicked, and it’s not surprising to see them flying around. But a thoughtful person can always turn ordinary things into a flower.

Living in the dark underground made him extremely familiar with darkness.

The dark night is his home turf.

Kalubi dodged and disappeared for an instant. In the blink of an eye, he landed on a branch, holding a crow in his hand. The black bird flapped its wings, but could not break free.

Kalubi held the pair of wings that were struggling unwillingly with one hand, and stretched out with the other hand to remove the black cloth from his eyes, revealing the red pupils to look at the crow in the moonlight. After a long while, he squinted his eyes, pulled out a thin bamboo tube from the crow's withered claws, took out the paper, looked at it under the moonlight, wrote down all the handwriting, and stuffed it back without moving a single step.

He went back to find Tan'er and silently repeated all the words.

Tan'er sat at the table, tilting her head, watching him write one by one. When he finished reading, a cold look flashed in his eyes, and he said disdainfully, "How dare you use me..."

"You underestimate the master too much, they are a bunch of idiots."

Kalubi also sat down cross-legged and stared at the handwriting to identify it, "I can only understand it. Master...kills people...is so...cheating...soft-hearted..."

Tan'er unconsciously rubbed his forehead, "Brother, please, now is not the time to study and learn to read."

Kalubi frowned.

Tan'er choked, "Okay, don't be angry. After all, you are worried about Master's safety." She thought for a moment, "Hey, Junior Brother, why don't you go meet Master?"

Kalubi tied the silk cloth around his eyes, sighed softly, and said seriously, "No. The owner of the valley said that you cannot leave the valley within three months."

Tan'er said, "The plan can be changed... Please, good junior brother, Zuihongyuan is not very hidden after all. Master doesn't like to go in and interact with people if it is not necessary. He takes a very eccentric path and always sees the dragon." It would be terrible if the news didn't spread so that no one in Zuihongyuan could find it."

"Besides, if they know that we are watching, wouldn't it be enough to alert the enemy?"

Kalubi also hesitated. After all, he shook his head, "Nowadays, wars are raging in the Central Plains, and there are frequent movements in the Langya camp. It seems that the returning tribe also wants a piece of the pie. To put it further, the situation in Rilun Mountain City is complicated, and the Valley Master is not allowed to leave the valley. It is also for everyone's good. Don't be willful."

Tan'er's eyes widened, "Am I willful?!? Junior brother, I think your common sense needs to be strengthened." She stood up and pointed at herself, "Look, you're twelve years old! You'll be eligible for the exam in just three years. "

Kalubi looked at her size, stretched out his hand to show her size, and was completely unaware of such a blow. He said honestly, "It doesn't look like an adult."

Tan'er:......

"So what! People in the Valley of the Evil are still afraid of these things."

Kalubi disagreed, "If you and I leave the Valley of the Wicked, Miss Xiao Xi's side..."

Tan'er frowned, then seemed to take the matter seriously, "That's true..." He snorted again and said mockingly, "Master is not around these days, but she still does her duty."

"I'm curious about what is the source of such deep hatred and hatred that the other party clings to the Valley Master so stubbornly."

Tan'er looked at the tall house with the lights out, "Then it depends on which god my gentle, elegant, quiet and delicate Aunt Xiao Xi will be loyal to."

"It's not like..." Tan Ersi thought about it, moved closer to Kalubi and muttered.

Kalubi listened carefully, thought about it, and felt that there was nothing wrong with it, "In that case..."

"good."

Leave it for three days.

Xie Yuanlu Dongbin came late.

He was quite embarrassed when he arrived, and he had obviously gone through a lot of hardships.

Xie Yuanchong sighed to Li Chengen, saying that without the help of Master Chunyang, he would probably die.

Lu Dongbin came down on his donkey, holding a fly whisk in his hand, looking like an immortal. When he saw Jiang Chen, his eyes flashed, and he bowed humbly with his fly whisk, "Master of the Valley, I have long admired him."

Jiang Chen's brows twitched, with a warm smile on his face, and he behaved quite politely. When it comes to etiquette, people can't fault him at all. "...You're very polite. You two have been tired from the journey. Please sit down."

Xie Yuan followed Lu Dongbin and walked in.

After Fang sat down, Lu Dongbin counted with his fingers at Jiang Chen, but couldn't find any useful information. After thinking for a while, he took out a tortoise shell from his arms and said with a smile, "Do you want an experienced person to count it?"

"Oh?" Jiang Chen smiled again.

He has lived for so long, calculated for so long, and pursued for so long that he has not dared to think about these things and cannot get the answer. Now, someone said to him that he wanted to make a divination for him?

"Then, good work."

It doesn't hurt to listen.

I think it was always a joke before tea and after dinner.

I wonder if Lu Zhenren, who is about to become an immortal, is better at fortune-telling than the immortal body he once used.

The newcomer Xiao Yazi was very considerate and brought a brazier over.

As soon as he met Jiang Chen, his face was full of admiration and reverence, "Sir, where can I put it?"

Jiang Chen's eyes wandered and glanced at the table legs in the outer room.

He did this unintentionally, but Xiao Yazi understood it and put down the brazier.

Lu Dongbin took two steps and sat down in the outer room. Throwing the tortoise shell into the brazier, it took about a while to take out the tortoise shell. When he saw it, his hands trembled, and he touched his gray beard and said nothing.

Jiang Chen said calmly, "How?"

Lu Dongbin's hands shook again before he hesitated and said, "This is a serious disaster. Will the Valley Master listen?"

Jiang Chen said, "Since you have it, why don't you speak out?"

"You are lonely and helpless, and your six relatives are weak. Your best qualities will be lost, and your life will not be long."

Jiang Chen smiled slightly, and suddenly realized that the words of the hexagram were nothing more than this for the uneven fate.

Lu Dongbin raised his eyebrows, "But you don't believe it?"

Jiang Chen did not answer directly, only said, "Believe it or not, what's the difference." After all, his fate would not be decided by a piece of tortoise shell.

Lu Dongbin sighed, "After hearing this, it is really rare for you to be neither arrogant nor impetuous, calm and steady. In the past, poor Taoists also criticized one or two people, and all the rich and noble people were happy to hear it. If you are lonely and widowed, your face will be depressed, and your happiness and anger are all destiny. From this point of view, you must be a strong-minded person."

Li Chengen nodded. The sage once said that a gentleman should not express his joy and anger, his likes and dislikes; his joy and sorrow should not overflow his face; his life and death should not follow heaven. From this point of view, Wang Yifeng was satisfied with everything.

Except for a few moments, he can't control his gloominess and makes people think he is a person from the Valley of Evil. The rest of the time, he looked calm all the time.

Whether it was when he faced Tiance's 30,000-strong army without showing any timidity, or now when he sees the dangers of the people in Tianshuiliu and treats them as normal, he appears so calm and indifferent.

He is truly an elusive person.

I heard that people from the Hongchen Sect are like this. They only control the minds of others, but never reveal their true thoughts to the outside world. Generally speaking, this person will appear to be a gentle, noble gentleman who makes people who don't know it feel relaxed and happy, but sometimes his sudden alienation and bad behavior can be outrageous. God knows what his true nature is.

Li Chengen was not a naive martial artist who only knew how to practice martial arts. He also had serious thoughts that could not be understood clearly, so he would not simply think that Wang Yifeng was what he appeared to be. It is true that such Wang Yifeng is not a loyal and courageous knight at all. But the alienation and indifference that is always hidden under the kindness makes people feel at ease inexplicably.

Lu Dongbin looked at the gradually closing clouds and rain in the sky outside the door, and the skylight revealed in the gray mist, and suddenly sighed, "The sages of the past said that humans are born from nature. The wind will never end, and the rain will never end. Who can do this?" What about heaven and earth? It’s normal for heaven and earth to be in harmony with each other.

This is quite a level statement. This statement was meant to advise the king to be considerate to the people, and it is not an exaggeration to say it at this moment. It was nothing more than a consolation, saying that neither heaven nor earth can last forever, there are always unpredictable storms, and the dangers of human destiny are nothing. Let nature take its course and comply with the destiny, so that Jiang Chen does not have to worry too much about the dangerous hexagrams.

Follow destiny?

Jiang Chen had an unexplainable smile on his face. Seeing that Lu Dongbin was sworn to follow the path of immortality, he didn't bother to make any more unnecessary retorts. He let him finish and said politely, "What the real person said is absolutely true. I'm sorry. Teachable.”

Lu Dongbin looked at him and sighed in his heart, quite helpless, knowing that he only said what he said, but did not enter his heart. In the past, Zhuangzi once said that the real person in ancient times had a heart and mind, a calm face, and a chin that was as sad as autumn and as warm as spring. His joy and anger flowed through the four seasons, and he was in harmony with things, but he didn't know the extreme. If he hadn't known that Wang Yifeng was a man in the world of mortals, he would have inevitably thought that he was a real person or god born in the Tao. Even the immortal Zhongliquan who had led him to Taoism was not so unfathomable.

Li Chengen and Xie Yuan were both members of the imperial court and could not understand the true meaning of Tao. They did not care about the specialness of the person in front of them. Only Lu Dongbin can feel that kind of unpredictability. The moment they almost met, he had no doubt that the other party regarded the way of heaven as nothing.

Real people are like that.

The mind is firm, and the face is like cold autumn when it is solemn, and like warm spring when it is gentle. Happiness and anger are hidden in external objects and difficult to guess.

Lu Dongbin felt that it was actually...

The disciples of Chunyang Palace combined may not have as much understanding of the way of heaven as this one person.

Even his favorite disciple Xie Yunliu is inevitably blinded by worldly affairs. Now he has met the descendant who has entered the mortal world, but he seems to be more like a person who has entered the Taoism than anyone else.

It's a pity that the day of his ascension is not far away, and he is no longer able to personally teach another possible outstanding disciple.

…

Dongfang Yuxuan just put away the silver needle in his hand. He heard from some people among the refugees that a Taoist priest who could tell at a glance that he would become an immortal was looking for the Demon King's legacy in Chen Zhong. He thought of the rumors that Xie Yuan, Li Chengen, and Chun Yangzi were traveling with him all the way, and he already knew the identities of the two new arrivals.

After understanding it, he couldn't hold himself back and immediately went to where Jiang Chen stayed.

He didn't want to be in a hurry. Because what Wang Yifeng said is absolutely correct. Three days later, people began to die in the refugee area.

Although the new drugs currently developed by Wanhua are promising, some of them treat the symptoms rather than the root cause. It is said that Master Chunyang is also good at preserving health and cooking elixirs. Maybe you can ask him for some advice.
