"Dang!"

The hammer hit the anvil stone hard, and the metal piece sandwiched between them shot out sparks. The surrounding flames were blown away by the air waves, and the whole room was flashing with light.

This is Rudd's forging room. This room is located on the top of an empty mountain at the mountain gate. It uses a talisman array to collect the true fire of the sun and transport it to form a high temperature that can melt gold and iron for the purpose of refining weapons.

Rudd said he wanted to give him the answer, but brought him here instead. And he just picked up an unfinished task and started working. And still using this most primitive method, the sound of hammering is endless. Even though she knew that Rude's words meant nothing, Yu Ci couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

Finally, Rude said during the break of blacksmithing: "I just heard you call him master..."

He refers to the name Yu Ci gave to Zhou when he took the words from Bao Guang's mouth.

Yu Ci frowned and did not respond, because this was not what he wanted to hear.

"Actually, I have persuaded him a long time ago that it is really good to have a young man like you as a disciple. Unfortunately, he has never heard anything from him. I don't know if it is because he is embarrassed or if he has other plans."

"The title doesn't matter." Yu Ci said briefly.

"Yeah, it doesn't matter. For Zhou, it really doesn't make sense..."

There was another loud "dang" sound, and Rude's hair and beard spread out, and he hit the half-formed sword with a hammer. The surging spiritual pressure swept through the entire forging room, and Yu Ci's breath was suffocated. At this moment, he heard Rude say:

"He's dead!"

Yu Ci said in a muffled voice: "It's Honghua!"

"Do you really believe it?"

Lu De laughed loudly, and the heavy hammer hit the anvil stone again. The heavy sound of metal and iron struck Yu Ci's heart directly: "If you die, you will die. He has never been so straightforward in his life!"

"Is he concerned?"

Yu Ci suddenly shouted loudly, trying to cover up the sound of the hammer: "He has taken the Xuanzhen Ningxu Pill, and he still has at least a dozen years of life. His cultivation has basically reached the Buxu realm. As long as you work hard to refine your body, you will obviously have a lot to do..."

"Shut up, kid!"

Lu De suppressed with a louder voice, Yu Ci stopped talking, but still glared at him without showing any weakness. The air was distorted by the high temperature, but it had no effect on their sight.

In the end, it was Rude who gave in first. He turned away and ignored Yu Ci. He threw away the heavy hammer, picked up the red sword with his bare hands, and looked at it against his cheek to see if there was any plan. The curvature was high enough to cook the skin and flesh, and even his beard was not burned.

Yu Ci’s voice was still sharp: “Uncle Lu!”

"You're lucky, kid. When I'm forging swords and refining weapons, I'll be in a good mood, so I won't care about you and me yelling..."

Rudd's gaze stretched out from the sword, pointing towards the blazing golden flames in the fire eyes of the forging room, but in fact, there was no focus in his pupils, and his loud voice gradually became darker: "It's here that I I am in the mood to say these words to you. I like to forge iron and let the fire make it, and I feel comfortable."

Yu Ci was silent.

"Xie Yan focuses on the sword. When he is practicing the sword, it is useless even if the sky thunder hits him; as long as Xie Liang gets into the book, he may not raise his head even once in ten and a half months; Qianbao, that kid even more Even my own mother has forgotten about this new treasure... We are all like this. We have something to rely on and a hobby to study. "

He directly affirmed the relationship between sons, and Yu Ci had no objection.

Rude continued: "His talent is so good that it makes people jealous. He can practice the most difficult Sword Transformation Art in the sect very easily, and he has also practiced several others. The elders have always said He should not come to Lichen Sect, it would be more appropriate to go to Lunjianxuan.

"But, he is not Xie Yan. For him, practicing swordsmanship is just a simple thing. In his spare time, he prefers to wander around, but he can join us in whatever we do. : It doesn’t matter if you talk to me about weapon refining or watch the fire blowing by the stove; the disputes between Xie Liang Douzi and the Empirical Department and the Academic Department are enough for them to quarrel for days and nights; he and Qian Bao will break into He went to Liuman Mountain just to grab a newly born magic weapon and narrowly escaped death; let alone Xie Yan, he talked with a sword and killed the sun and the moon..."

After laughing twice more, Lu Dezheng said to Yu Ci: "I used to be surprised that he, an old boy, only has so much free time? Later, I gradually understood that we like this and are obsessed with that, but he just likes it. Hanging out with us old brothers, chatting, bickering, and fighting, this is what he enjoys. Hey, this guy's hobbies are different."

Although he was smiling, there was no joy in Rude's smile.

"He has a wide circle of friends, and we are not the only friends. But in comparison, he is the easiest to talk to. However, when it comes to intimacy, no one can compare with his Taoist companion..."

"He Qing?"

"Call me Immortal!" Rude scolded him honestly, but he also confirmed it.

At this moment, Yu Ci thought of the relevant rhetoric and performances of Yu Zhou, Bao Guang, Li You and many others, and from there it was easy to derive an overused possibility:

"She can't stand the viewer!"

Rudd glanced at him coldly: "Did you say it or did I say it?"

Yu Ci knew that there was something wrong with his mentality. He took a deep breath of hot air and let his internal organs burn. He made up his mind not to say a word until he got a clue.

Unexpectedly, Rude then asked him something, and went off topic: "You have been at Shanmen for a while. What are the names and identities of the sect's thirty Buxu, four Zhenren, and three Jiefa? Do you know everything?"

He didn't take into account the changes in the past two days. Yu Ci frowned and thought about it, then nodded.

"Then let me ask you, how many people are assigned to each of the four divisions of Shanmen?"

Yu Ci opened his mouth to speak, but Lu De said on his behalf: "Uncle Fang, needless to say, Uncle Jiang is from the Zhenzhi Department, and Uncle Xian and Uncle Kongshan are also from the Zhenzhi Department."

Of the people he was talking about, Master Jiang Zhen was another expert in the calamity method besides Fang Hui and Master Yuxu, and was also the current leader of the Lichen Sect. Master Xian, Xianluo and Kongshanzi, are four, no, they are two of the five real people now. These four people all belong to the Zhengzheng Department. If He Qing is also included, there are actually five of the eight robbery cultivators in the sect. He is a monk of the Reality Department.

Among the group of Buxu monks, Yu Ci made a rough estimate and found that there were as many as fourteen monks in the Empirical Department. In this way, nearly half of Lichen Sect's high-end combat power belongs to the empirical department, which shows that the talent department of the empirical department has flourished in recent years.

But what does this have to do with Yu Zhou?

"In recent years, more and more people like Xie Liang have mastered various departments. However, the three departments of morality, precepts, and theory are often connected in series, and the empirical department is often excluded. You know, this is What’s the point?”

Yu Ci could only shake his head.

Lu De curled up his fingers and said calmly: "The four departments of Shanmen each have their own emphasis, but from a certain level, only the empirical department is different from the other three departments. The moral department emphasizes induction, the academic department emphasizes speculation, and the precepts department emphasizes Rules, they all have a metaphysical thing above the specific practice method. It may be ethereal and unreal, but it is the source of truth-seeking and the foundation of evolution. It is something that can be sensed, inferred, and followed. Even if there are fallacies, it will eventually We can reach the same destination by different paths.

"Only the empirical department takes practice as its guideline, does not focus on mystery, and only looks at practical results. Therefore, it improves extremely quickly. With the same qualifications, it can often lag behind its peers in the other three departments. However, here When you reach the level of calamity practice, there are no precedents to follow. You must try one path after another. However, every step of the practice method is real. If you make a mistake, you will not even have a chance to regret it. The sect How can you take out the life of the elder Jie Fa and fill it in?"

He threw the rudimentary sword into the fire and smiled coldly:

"Going up, there is nothing to rely on; retreating, into the abyss, it is a clear situation of death and Taoism. If things go on like this, the way forward is dead, confidence is lost, how can we talk about practice? How can we talk about becoming a Taoist? But this is not it yet It's a matter of whether everyone works hard or not, but it's a natural flaw. Half of the sect's combat power, the top talents, are trapped in this dead situation. Someone must point out the way for everyone. , Uncle Fang has no choice but to take responsibility."

The sword softened quickly in the golden flame, almost turning into juice. Lu De didn't care about it anymore, and just said: "It has been more than three hundred years since I joined the sect. At that time, Uncle Fang had been studying this matter for many years. As far as I know, he got angry because of it. He fell into the devil twice, and each time his life was on the line, and it took more than a hundred years to recover. During that period, the Sky Rift Valley coincided with the first turmoil, and many people were under the shadow of the Rakshasa Ghost King and the Taixuan Demon Mother. Already in despair, I only thought that the sect’s fall was imminent.”

Yu Ci was speechless for a moment. He could also imagine the atmosphere of the sect at that time. It was indeed gloomy and gloomy.

"But it was also because of the changes in the Sky Rift Valley that things changed again. Master Fang watched the battle between two powerful men of the Earth Immortal level from a distance, and suddenly he became enlightened and realized that the method of Dayan Yin and Yang, calculation and deduction, is Using the qi of yin and yang to simulate and deduce the success or failure of various methods, although it does not deviate from the stereotypes of the empirical department, the qi of yin and yang can be used to predict and verify, eliminating the pain of trying to prove it with one's life."

Yu Ci forcibly cut off the words that were about to be spoken in his throat, making the message only linger in his heart:

It is the art of transformation of yin and yang into life!

He felt a little confused and uneasy for no reason, and then he heard Rude continue: "The key to this method lies in the qi of yin and yang. Although the human body has its own yin and yang, but if you want to achieve very early results, it is better to cooperate with the gods to bring the qi. Double cultivation..."

Deep in Yu Ci's brain, there was a "clang" sound, and a certain string suddenly broke.

****************

Thousands of miles high in the sky, on the Star-Zhaing Tower, a female cultivator is sitting on the railing, looking at the Optimus Mountain Pillar under the clouds and mist, thoughtfully.

Fang Hui asked behind her: "What are you thinking about?"

"The disciple recalled the time when he met the Patriarch after completing the spiritual journey."

"Oh?"

"Now that I have watched him for a long time, I can't help but sigh. Although the rumors of asking for one's mind are false, for the disciples, the wish they made back then has already come true."

There was silence for a long time, then Fang said: "You have worked hard for many years, so you deserve this."

The female cultivator smiled slightly, thinking in her heart: The reason why that stubborn woman was duplicitous and deceived the Patriarch is now so insignificant that she has almost forgotten it.

On the contrary, the moment when her strong desire for survival broke through her defenses and engulfed her will always be so clear.

As expected, it was a lie when I asked about my thoughts...

The name is quite good.
