The Young Swordsman: The Taoist Priest of Qingcheng Has Descended the Mountain

Chapter 78 Not a man

Nowadays, people who engage in spiritual travel are few and far between.

How to enter the realm of spiritual travel is something no one can clearly explain or know the answer to.

But what Zhou really wants to do now is to get as many people as possible into the realm of spiritual travel in a short period of time.

Including the Heavenly Sword of the Number One Pavilion Under Heaven.

That was his first attempt, but he stuffed in a little too much stuff.

It can indeed help one achieve enlightenment and spiritual travel, but it requires talented individuals to unravel the mysteries and find the clearly defined Dao.

This ball was Zhou Zhenhuan's second attempt, and it was even more straightforward, like giving you a ladder and telling you that you can climb up from here.

As for what you'll see once you get up there, that depends on your own understanding.

In some respects, this thing is more precious than the Heavenly Sword.

At the very least, one can easily reach the state of being halfway to divine travel.

Zhou Zhenhuan even felt that climbing this ladder first and then comprehending the Heavenly Dao Sword was a very good approach.

At this point, the entire path from the Vajra Mortal Realm to the Divine Journey has been completely set up.

As for why they weren't all placed in one place, Zhou really found it quite interesting.

If someone gets something too easily, they may not cherish it.

Only after going through hard work can one experience the joy of achievement.

That doesn't seem quite right, after all, the original sword tablet he placed in front of Qingcheng Mountain can directly connect to the Heavenly Dao.

It's just that it's easier for Qingcheng disciples to comprehend, while it's much more difficult for others.

Don't put all your eggs in one basket. The choice of who gets the eggs and how they go about their lives is up to fate.

However, neither Snow Moon City nor Apocalypse City could selflessly share what he released with everyone in the world.

There's nothing wrong with that; at least it allows for a rough screening.

As for the selection criteria, Zhou Zhenhuan said it was none of his business.

He simply needs more experts in the world; it doesn't matter who those experts are.

Anyway, I can't beat him.

Once the business was over, the atmosphere became even more harmonious.

Zhou Huanzhen started taking out peanuts, pork jerky, and other things from his sleeves again, while Baili Dongjun took out the wine he had brewed before. The three of them drank and sang, having a great time.

At the summit of Cangshan Mountain, Zhao Yuzhen was being watched by Yin Luoxia, who looked him up and down, left and right.

Finally, he smiled and nodded at Li Hanyi, saying, "Your son-in-law is excellent."

In front of ordinary people, Zhao Yuzhen is usually humble and polite, just like a young man, a true cultivator who has attained enlightenment.

She thanked him with a smile, saw Yin Luoxia off, and then took Li Hanyi's blushing little hand in hers.

"I thought you wouldn't come."

Zhao Yuzhen chuckled: "How could I not come? Even if you left Qingcheng not long ago, even if it was only a few days and nights, it was as unbearable for me as those decades of waiting."

Only today do I realize the bitterness of longing; a day apart feels like three autumns.

"You're talking nonsense again. You call yourself a Taoist priest who is pure of heart and desires."

Despite her complaints, Li Hanyi's pretty face was already beaming with smiles.

Zhao Yuzhen shook her head: "A life of tranquility and few desires? My senior brother said that's all a lie."

Ordinary people want to be well-fed and clothed, but once they are well-fed and clothed, they crave a beautiful woman. Once they hold their beautiful wife in bed, they also yearn for carriages and horses.

With everything prepared, he felt his lifespan was too short, so he turned to seeking immortality, but the road to eternal life was long and arduous.

My senior brother said that it's okay to have desires, the important thing is not to be controlled by them.

The pursuit of truth in spiritual cultivation involves recognizing oneself, understanding the universe, and comprehending the Great Dao.

People without desires are all dead; to live is itself a desire.

So I am just a mortal who has cultivated for some years, and I also long to stay with you forever, to see the peach blossoms in full bloom, to see the abundant harvest, to bathe in the gentle breezes of all four seasons, and to see the fairy maiden.

Li Hanyi stared blankly into his clear, bright eyes. These words, spoken by him, were full of sincerity.

My heart pounded wildly, like a deer in a mountain stream.

"Li Hanyi, come out here!"

"Come fight me again."

Li Hanyi's face, which was originally slightly flushed, was now almost purplish-red.

Zhao Yuzhen tidied the stray hairs on her forehead and said with a smile, "I'll go."

Li Hanyi pressed him down.

"He came for me, and today, I'm going to beat him to death!"

Their precious time together, so sweet and intimate, was abruptly interrupted. Anyone would have a reason to be angry.

So the fairy put on that ugly mask again, carrying the Iron Horse and Ice River, exuding a chilling aura.

Zhao Yuzhen shook her head, but did not stop her.

He has a good temper, but it depends on who he's dealing with.

If his senior brother were woken up while he was sleeping, he could guarantee that the person would be hanging upside down and looking at the sun upside down for the rest of their life.

Inside the Donggui Tavern, Zhou Zhenhuan, Baili Dongjun, and Sikong Changfeng were all slightly tipsy.

These three people are all exceptionally capable and shouldn't be drunk, but today they are drinking like ordinary people.

Suddenly, a sword intent shot into the sky, and Zhou Zhenhuan slightly opened his eyes.

"Oh? One sword cuts through water, stopping a thousand rivers from flowing?"

"Speaking of the arrival of the City Lord of Wushuang City, why haven't you two made a sound?"

Zhou Zhenhuan reached out and grabbed a wine jar, took a swig, and his eyes became increasingly clear.

Baili Dongjun chuckled, his face full of mockery.

Sikong Changfeng, on the other hand, seemed to be in high spirits. He moved closer to Zhou Zhenhuan and hooked his arm around Zhou Zhenhuan's shoulder.

"Brother Dao, you are unaware of something."

In my opinion, Song Yanhui is not a real man.

Let me tell you an old story.

Zhou Zhenhuan knew that this person was quite knowledgeable about some strange things in the martial arts world and was a very qualified bystander.

He then smiled and asked, "Is it about your past with Fairy Luoxia?"

Sikong Changfeng's eyes also brightened: "I didn't expect you to be a fellow Daoist. Not bad, not bad."

Actually, this matter isn't anything too secretive.

Ha, but this Song Yan Hui was quite a figure when he was young.

But now it seems he was nothing more than a coward.

Zhou Zhenhuan was naturally aware of the story between Fairy Luoxia and Song Yanhui.

Back then, on the banks of the Canglan River, Song Yan returned with a sword that soared into the sky. That sword strike was so beautiful that even migrating swallows flew back and circled around the sword's energy.

That's why the name Song Yanhui came about.

During his travels, he encountered a flood and met Yin Luoxia. One of them cut the river with a sword, and the other cut the river in half with a palm strike, saving thousands of people. Their story became a legend.

In this relationship, Yin Luoxia was the one who took the initiative, while Song Yanhui neither took the initiative nor refused.

Later, Song Yan returned to Wushuang City. Yin Luoxia went to find him, but was injured by Song Yan's master, who declared that if she wanted to take Song Yan away, she had to defeat him.

Ironically, Song Yan wanted to walk the path of ruthlessness and devoid of love to become a sword immortal. Ignoring all else, she locked herself in the city to practice her swordsmanship.

Yin Luoxia's devoted love ultimately came to nothing.

Song Yan wanted Wushuang City to reclaim its title as the number one city in the world, but instead chose to defeat the Lord of Xueyue City.

This was also a path, but he wanted to fight, not against Baili Dongjun and Sikong Changfeng, but against the only female city lord, Li Hanyi.

No wonder Baili Dongjun looked disgusted, and Sikong Changfeng said he wasn't a man.

Chapter 79 The Three Gossip Girls

At the foot of Cangshan Mountain, Song Yan was defeated with a single sword strike.

Li Hanyi, the Snow Moon Sword Immortal, unleashed a sword strike filled with murderous intent, but failed to land a blow.

Because Yin Luoxia appeared and stood in front of Song Yanhui.

Song Yan looked dejected and didn't seem happy to see Yin Luoxia.

"How did you come?"

Yin Luoxia scoffed: "I don't believe that you haven't known I've been in Snow Moon City all these years."

You know perfectly well that you're not even a sword immortal, so what's the point of challenging Han Yi time and time again?

"You should leave. If she tries to kill you again, I can't stop her."

Song Yan returned. Although the defeat was expected, he did not expect it to be so swift.

Li Hanyi, still seething with anger, sheathed her sword.

Is it worth it for him?

Yin Luoxia looked miserable: "I don't know the answer to that question either. But, Hanyi, please do me a favor today."

"What more could you possibly want?"

Yin Luoxia sighed, "The result is already in, isn't it?"

Li Hanyi walked up to her and embraced her.

"So be it. Over the years, he has valued swords over feelings, but what has been the result? Now, he is burdened by the Peerless City and is destined not to respond to you."

In his heart, nothing was more important than Wushuang City.

Yin Luoxia buried her head in her shoulder and said in a muffled voice, "I understand, I understand everything. That's enough, this is really the last time."

Just then, Li Hanyi was startled, and his Iron Horse Ice River sword was instantly drawn, blocking Yin Luoxia behind him.

But the next moment, her expression turned incredibly strange.

Zhou Huanzhen, Baili Dongjun, and Sikong Changfeng were arm in arm, swaying back and forth, reeking of alcohol.

"Ha, looks like I'm too late, I didn't see it." Zhou Zhenhuan said with a regretful expression.

Baili Dongjun staggered up to Li Hanyi and said, "Sister, should I go and beat that bastard to death?"

Li Hanyi's face was cold. Right now, all I want to do is beat you all to death.

It's one thing for Baili Dongjun to be such a drunkard.

But Senior Brother Zhou, and Sikong Changfeng...

Hmm? It seems that with Senior Brother Zhou around, this situation is quite natural.

Okay, Li Hanyi resigned herself to her fate.

Yin Luoxia covered her face and glanced at Zhou Zhenhuan.

"Hanyi, is this the carefree immortal? Wow, he's even more handsome than your son-in-law."

Li Hanyi rolled her eyes: "Be normal, you were just acting like you were going to die."

"Who? Me? Impossible. It's not like I'm unwanted. I'm the dignified Fairy of Sunset Glow."

What kind of bullshit Song Yanhui could make me want to die?

Hey, are you the carefree immortal?
