Chapter 449 Uncle Master, Xinglin Xiu
Shangfu, blessed land, Xinglin Villa.

Along the way to the north of the mountains, Jueguang and his companions defeated Wang Zitan of Yixian Mountain, killed the immortal master "Teng Shigong" in one fell swoop, and surrendered to the Scorpion Master and the Spider Lady of Gouchan Mountain, which announced that the second battle was coming to an end.

Therefore, the government sent generals to replace the guards and recalled some generals so that they could return to the mountains to report on their duties, be rewarded for their merits, and resume their work.

Zhang Xiaoyuan was on the first list of people to be replaced. When he returned to the mansion, before he went to pay his respects to his master, he was summoned to the Xinglin Villa to meet his uncle Baicaozi who had come all the way from Qun Yu Fang Kuang Mountain.

Although Zhang Xiaoyuan was happy that Master Baicaozi saw him at this node, he was still quite surprised.

The lineage of Uncle Baicaozi has always been free and easy, and if you trace back to the source, it can be considered half of the Taiping Mountain lineage. Moreover, this uncle has always cared about him, and this care is no less than that of his own master and Uncle Xinghua.

His amber sword was given to him by his uncle Baicaozi, and he also had a gourd of elixirs on him that were enough to bring the dead back to life.

Xinglin Villa does not occupy a large area, but its location is excellent, and it can be said to be a place with good feng shui in a blessed land.

It is called Xinglin Villa, but there is not a single apricot tree here. The real Xinglin is only in Kuangshan. He has been there before. There are a hundred thousand red apricot trees all over the mountain. He can be full after picking only half a basket.

Afterwards, the master rarely blamed him, saying that those were merit-granting apricots, and that if he ate them greedily today, he would have to pay for them in the future.

Later, he realized that he was able to practice the method of sanctifying the physical body, "Kongpeng Tuanfeng Baogao", all thanks to the foundation laid by this half basket of apricots.

"Good nephew, please step aside and play a game with me."

In a flower pavilion in the quiet villa, an old man was waving to Zhang Xiaoyuan.

"Uncle Master, I'll be right there."

Zhang Xiaoyuan turned away from the limelight and landed in front of the pavilion. He looked up and saw that his master Baicaozi seemed to have aged a little.

In the pavilion, Baicao Zhenren had disheveled temples and fluttering grey hair; his beard was sparse and his silver hair was swaying. A string of Buddhist beads hung on his chest, and he was holding a whisk in his hand. He tried hard to keep his old eyes open, and his face was almost touching the chessboard.

Zhang Xiaoyuan entered the pavilion, glanced at the endgame on the chessboard, and made his move.

"How is your Qingping sword technique going?"

Master Baicao asked.

Zhang Xiaoyuan's face tensed up, and he knew that Master Baicaozi would definitely ask him about his homework, so he hesitated and said, "It's OK."

"It's OK, how can it be OK?"

Baicao Zhenren looked up at Zhang Xiaoyuan, his eyes were as calm as a pond, and he said, "The essence of Qingping Sword Technique is light and flexible, unpredictable, and especially emphasizes the momentum of attack, which is most consistent with the Kongpeng Tuanfeng Treasure Edict you are practicing.

You should be making rapid progress in this sword technique, and it should complement the realm of sword technique."

"Uncle, you also know that in order to prepare for the second battle, I have already focused on the Kongpeng Tuanfeng Baoshuo, and spent a lot of effort to practice the "Dapeng Dharmakaya". Now that the second battle is about to end, I will devote some energy to practicing the Qingping Sword Technique so that I can understand the true meaning of it as soon as possible."

To Zhang Xiaoyuan, Uncle Baicaozi was a good man, but he always urged him on, overtly or covertly, and interfered with his practice. He was no longer a Taoist disciple, so he naturally had a plan for how to practice.

Baicao Zhenren moved the Buddhist beads on his chest, and heard the resistance in Zhang Xiaoyuan's tone, and said: "Qingping Sword Technique was created by the founder of the sect. All the Zhenjuns of the Shangfu have practiced it. How can you be an exception?"

After saying that, he sighed softly.

"Xiao Yuan, I am from the Kuangshan Xinglin lineage, and we have always been one with yours, and we advance and retreat together.

Your master has always been ambitious about innovation, and he no longer cares about the position of the True Lord that has been passed down from master to apprentice. Do you understand the situation you are facing?"

Zhang Xiaoyuan replied solemnly: "If I really have extraordinary talent and am respected by people both inside and outside, even if Master doesn't want the position of True Lord to become a private tool of this family, then it must be me in the future.

On the contrary, if I am of little talent and virtue, even if I am chosen, I would not accept this position, so as to bring disaster to the future."

“How naive.” Baicao Zhenren took out four black pieces from the box, placed them outside the chessboard, pointed at one of them, and said, “You have four opponents in the mountains, and this one is your old opponent Jueguang.

This boy was suppressed by you at Xiaoxi Mountain. With his intelligence, such setbacks will only promote his growth. In the battle at Wangzitan in Yixian Mountain, his popularity has once been equal to yours.

But he has too much Buddhist background, and the two monks have always been against your master, so he has no chance of becoming a True Lord."

After saying that, he took the black piece away and pointed to the next one.

"Luo Ji, she is a good choice for both her Taoism and fighting skills, but she is not interested in the position of a True Lord, and she does things roughly and without regard for the consequences, so she is not up to the task." Baicaozi pointed at the third black piece and said, "Yourongzi from Tianhe Peak has a good background and is very cunning. Even I can't see through her Taoism. She performed well in the second fight, and she even has some reservations. She will definitely be a big enemy in the future."

Zhang Xiaoyuan nodded involuntarily. Among all the mountain gates, You Rongzi was the most mysterious. And this mystery, after all, was still the place where he had practiced since he was a child - Xiaolang Mountain.

“Although You Rongzi is an extraordinary person, he does not have many followers in the mountains, and he does not often return to Tianhe Peak.

From what I heard, he originally came back with you to report on his work, but he did not return to the mountains immediately, but stayed at Qianshi Ferry on the Nanpan River. It can be seen that this person is too lonely and difficult to get close to. "

As Master Baicao spoke, he pointed to the last piece and said, "Lingxu!"

"Cousin Zhang?!"

Zhang Xiaoyuan said solemnly: "I admit that my cousin Zhang's performance is indeed outstanding. He captured Mengnan, quickly settled Lingnan, defeated Chiyi Langjun, and joined forces with the two routes in the southeast to attack Chaogou Mountain. Each of these is much better than me."

"This boy has no backers in the Three Peaks and One Prefecture. He only relies on a declining Heguan and some help from Huoxu Cave. He has risen all the way and has almost no signs of decline. In less than 30 years, he has become a high-level dragon and tiger, with all the jade marrow and gold blood skills.

If the Southeast Second Route Plan had not been hindered by Master Taihe, this great achievement would have been enough to put us on a different level than you all."

"Cousin Zhang is indeed extraordinary. I need to learn from him so that I can learn from his strengths and make up for my weaknesses."

Zhang Xiaoyuan looked serious, but then disgust flashed in his eyes, and he said, "Master Taihe is also a highly respected person in the sect. How could he do such a shameful thing? No wonder Master cleaned up the sect and vowed to get rid of those who are idle and do nothing."

Baicao Zhenren pursed his lips slightly, and after Zhang Xiaoyuan calmed down a little, he said, "I heard that there was a big battle at Chaogou Mountain not long ago. Some said that Fubei Gong's practice went wrong, and some said that his soul was injured, so he went crazy and made a big scene, even using the magic weapon to suppress the cave, Liduan Gouyu.

If Master Xuanying had not been there, Master Taihe would have been robbed instead of just having one leg cut off."

"He deserves it."

Zhang Xiaoyuan said loudly as he landed on the ground.

Baicao Zhenren skipped the topic and said, "Now more than half a month has passed. Wen Daoyu has already reported on his work and is waiting for the government to decide his fate, but Lingxuzi has not returned yet. Is he afraid of punishment and is not coming back?"

"No, he is not the kind of person who fears crime. Besides, the matter has not been concluded yet, so how can we talk about guilt?"

"You!"

Baicao Zhenren flicked the remaining two black pieces, and said with a look of regret, "Lingxuzi's power is already established. If you don't take advantage of the destruction of the spirit cave to knock him into the dust, it will be difficult to counterbalance him in the future.

Besides, you think his extraordinary achievements are limited to those few, but there is another extraordinary achievement that was hidden by the upper government because it involved Xuanshi Village and was extremely involved. "

Zhang Xiaoyuan said unhappily: "Uncle Master, the thunder and rain are all in the Master's mind, how can you and I decide."

"If you don't move, and I don't move, are we just going to sit back and watch it catch up?

When Lingxuzi enters the upper palace and takes over the position of Taiping Zhenjun, will those fellow disciples who have entrusted their lives and futures to you and fought with you through blood and fire gain your trust and reliance? !

And your mother, in the complicated environment of the Taoist merchant Zhang family, carefully raised you and used all the fine rice and pearls she earned for months to cultivate you. As a result, she is now weak and sickly, and it is all thanks to the elixirs and medicinal foods on the mountain that she is nourished.

If you lose power, will those people on the mountain still look favorably upon you and grant you special elixirs for you to make pills and support your mother? ! "

Master Baicao's words were like a sharp arrow piercing Zhang Xiaoyuan's heart, making his face look ugly and his cheeks tense.

“It’s no exaggeration to say that Lingxuzi is a tyrant given his temperament.

Cruel, cunning, domineering, and unscrupulous are not enough to fully describe his terrifying nature.

He is definitely neither a gentleman nor a villain. He will not be swayed by other people's views on right and wrong. He can be sharp and powerful, or he can be patient and hide in the mud.

Xiao Yuan, tell me, with your wisdom, your noble and righteous path, and your current practice, can you defeat him?"

Seeing Zhang Xiaoyuan's expression change, Baicao Zhenren slowed down his attitude, patted Zhang Xiaoyuan on the shoulder, and said: "Your master has been waiting for you to make a change. This time, Lingbei used the "Yuzhu Treasure Bow" and won his heart, but this change is not thorough, so let me, your uncle, help you."

Zhang Xiaoyuan opened his mouth, wanting to refuse, but for some reason, the words that came out of his mouth were - "Thank you, Uncle Master!"
