Mang Shusheng's Ink Painting Practice

Chapter 224 Naturally stupid

Zhao Yian and Liu Ying, with whom he had been entangled for several lifetimes, set off on the journey together.

Both of them were silent along the way. After all, they were enemies for several lifetimes. How could they be brothers in the same sect now?

Oh, Liu Ying still appears in male attire.

As Liu Ying walked, she suddenly said angrily, "This is not fair."

Zhao Yian hesitated for a moment and said, "What's unfair about that? Aren't we all getting the same things?"

Liu Ying said: "But in the end, the leader also gave you the ghost mask that can summon the ghost prince."

Zhao Yian said, "This is what our master gave us to save our lives. It doesn't matter who we give it to."

Liu Ying frowned and said, "Then why not give it to me? I've obviously practiced harder than you, and I'm better at music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. I'm even better at reading."

"Why does the Sect Master favor you more? Is it just because you were accepted as a disciple by the Sect Master, while I am just an ordinary disciple?"

Zhao Yian was unable to defend himself for a moment, and felt that Liu Ying's boxing skills were so sharp that he was speechless.

He said, "So what do you want?"

Liu Ying said, "Show me that mask."

"Okay." Zhao Yian agreed!

He took out the ghost mask and handed it to Liu Ying.

Liu Ying was stunned when she saw this, but instead revealed a helpless look and said, "Why are you still as stupid as before?"

"I said I wanted something, and you gave it to me?"

Zhao Yian said, "Since Master gave it to us to protect us, it doesn't matter whether it's given to you or to me."

In this life, Zhao Yian, for some reason, became a complete layabout.

He seems to have no competitive spirit or concern for gain or loss at all, he is very Buddhist.

As for Liu Ying, she is also very confused now.

After countless lifetimes of entanglement, she was the winner every time. However, every time she won, she felt only emptiness and fear, fearing that the Dragon King would come again next time.

However, this time she had to communicate with the Dragon King after he reincarnated into the same sect.

She discovered that this Dragon King had no hatred at all... Well, this guy just wanted to stay away and live a happy life.

Zhao Yifu's soul was really impressed when it sensed this scene. Why did something seem a little off between the two? Shouldn't they be enemies?
Afterwards, Liu Ying played with the mask for a while before returning it to Zhao Yian and saying, "Forget it, I'll give it to you. After all, it was given to you by the Sect Leader."

"It's time for you to practice hard. Although you are the reincarnation of the Dragon King and your cultivation has naturally accumulated with the return of past life memories, you still need to work harder... You've also been to the Danqing Sect's Dharma Grotto. The many wonderful methods inside are already dizzying."

Liu Ying paused, then looked at Zhao Yian and said, "What's more, there are four more true teachings to choose from... Any one of those four true teachings will surpass our level of cultivation and vision back then. If we practice well in Danqing Sect, we will be able to reach a higher level."

Zhao Yian said: "What does it matter? What's wrong with taking it a step further? It's not like we haven't been to heaven before."

"In Heaven, you and I are just minions. I was able to enjoy a little freedom because I became a water god in the mortal world. Are you really happy after going to Heaven?"

"It would be more interesting to reincarnate in the mortal world for generations and experience all the joys and sorrows of the mortal world."

Liu Ying said, "You are the Dragon King. Your soul is inherently powerful and can maintain itself through multiple reincarnations. But I am different... My memory of how I first killed you has faded. Sometimes I even don't understand why I'm chasing you."

Zhao Yian laughed as soon as he heard it and said, "Then don't chase me!"

"Seven lifetimes! You've been chasing me for seven lifetimes. Can't I just take a break this lifetime?"

Liu Ying said: "You are quite open-minded. Who knows if you are lying to me?"

Zhao Yian said helplessly: "We have been entangled for eight generations, it seems that I have never lied to you, right?"

Liu Ying snorted coldly and said, "That's right, I've been lying to you all along. Do you still believe me?"

Zhao Yi settled down for a moment, then said honestly, "I'm used to it."

It’s amazing. Just one sentence made Liu Ying speechless.

However, after this conversation, the relationship between the two began to change completely.

Zhao Yifu's soul stayed in the ghost mask, and he rarely experienced Zhou Su's fun.

My younger brother is so interesting. Is this what it means to be an idiot?

In other words, the Dragon King is reincarnated, otherwise it would be impossible for someone with this kind of mentality to set foot in the world of cultivation.

When practicing, whether you want to "follow the way of nature" or "compete against heaven for your life", you must first be willing to practice and do it.

But Zhao Yian was too lazy to even repair it.

However, Zhao Yifu was following Zhao Yian at this time, and he also had some very deep understanding of this brother who was the reincarnation of the Dragon King.

He discovered that Zhao Yian's "lying down" was actually a kind of "laziness" after going through so many hardships.

It seems that there is no need to find ways to stimulate him to stand up, because he has made the choice after thinking everything through and seeing clearly.

The things about the heaven mentioned by these two reincarnated powerful beings made Zhao Yifu very concerned. It seemed that the heaven was not as beautiful as he had imagined.

Actually, he had always been in contact with the top figures in the celestial realm, but he had neglected the situation of ordinary people after they ascended...

Damn, who is ordinary enough to ascend?

Zhao Yifu was confused by his own thoughts.

His clone attached to the mask and followed the two people all the way to the cultivator conference.

The conference of practitioners was held in Baopu Mountain, so it was also called Baopu Dharma Conference.

The Baopu Lun Dharma Assembly was held in a more casual manner, unlike the Chunyang Conference on Difei Mountain where there was a host to entertain the guests.

For this conference, people arranged their own accommodation when they arrived at Baopu Mountain, and the conference started when most people had arrived.

Originally, the two people's portable cave should have come in handy at this time, but they didn't expect that when they arrived, everyone was already there.

"Zhao Yian, wait a minute, something's wrong."

Liu Ying suddenly called out to Zhao Yian.

He turned around in surprise and asked, "What's wrong?"

Liu Ying said, "Master Qiu Yuzi told us to set off as soon as he got the news, and we headed straight here as soon as we got down the mountain."

"But look at them, they've clearly been here for a while. I'm afraid they've already discussed everything that needs to be discussed."

"If we go in now, I'm afraid we'll become someone's prey."

Zhao Yian listened carefully, but said nonchalantly, "Why should we be manipulated? We are just juniors in this cultivation world."

Liu Ying said: "Don't forget, you are the master's disciple, even though you are not well-received..."

Suddenly she realized something and said, "I understand. The Sect Leader probably knows that this is not a good thing, so he specially sent us two juniors here."

"You are suitable for the position of the master's disciple, but your lack of ambition has irritated the master... Perhaps the master is ready to abandon you and me to deal with this situation."

"Zhao Yian, wake up, we are cannon fodder."

Zhao Yifu's soul sensed what Liu Ying said, and suddenly felt that she was really smart and worthy of her wisdom from previous life.

However, the performance of the other reincarnated powerful being was rather poor.

Zhao Yian listened silently, then smiled brightly and said, "So what? If Master can expel me from the sect, I can save some effort... hehe." Liu Ying said angrily, "Can you please pay more attention to yourself?"

It is not known whether Zhao Yian cares about him or not, but it seems that Liu Ying cares about him more and more.

Zhao Yian said nonchalantly, "What else can I do? I've been unable to control my own destiny since I got here. It doesn't matter whether I pay attention or not. I'm just going with the flow."

For some reason, the calmness he showed at this moment, which seemed like insight into the world, suddenly attracted Liu Ying's attention.

She suddenly recalled that when she became close friends with the Dragon King, was it because she was impressed by the calm and peaceful state of everything?

"Have the disciples of Danqing Sect arrived?"

"Danqing Sect disciples, please respond quickly."

Suddenly, a loud voice shouted from the front. It must be a disciple from some big sect.

Zhao Yian immediately responded: "Hey, here I am, Zhao Yian, the disciple of the Danqing Sect!"

He shouted and walked forward.

"You... ah!"

Liu Ying stamped her feet and hurriedly chased after him.

Zhao Yifu felt a little strange. At this moment, he felt that his brother, who looked dull and lazy, was actually very smart.

At this time, Zhao Yian was facing dozens of senior cultivators from the Southern Righteous Path... Although he was the reincarnation of the Dragon King, when Zhao Yifu really noticed the pressure Zhao Yian was facing, he still felt embarrassed.

The three great monks in the middle are Taoist Hongmei from Chonghe Yiqi Sect, the Wuxianqin player from Wuqi Xuanmen, and Monk Puji from Bazhengjue Fazhuang Temple.

There are also various sects and independent cultivators around: Fisherman with Empty Hook, Treasure Mirror, Hermit Sweeping Clouds, Gui Hezi, Taoist Bu Jin, Fairy Qing Shuang, and Zen Master Wu Qiu.

A total of ten masters surrounded them, and the heavy feeling of oppression was not something anyone could bear.

But Zhao Yian remained calm.

He slowly saluted everyone with a fist clasped, and said, "Danqing Sect disciple Zhao Yian, greetings to all the seniors."

After saying this, he automatically walked away, as if he had just said hello and that was it... However, according to the status of Danqing Sect in the southern cultivation world in the past, this was not wrong, and it could even be said to be self-conscious.

The Taoist priest Hongmei, who was dressed in a dark black outfit with a large red plum blossom pattern on his chest, said, "Wait a moment, we have something to tell you."

Zhao Yian stopped obediently.

Taoist Hongmei asked calmly, "Qiu Yuzi sent you here, so is it possible for you to make the decision?"

Zhao Yian didn't hesitate, nor did he give a direct answer. He just replied, "Master sent me here. I guess he thinks I'm suitable."

Taoist Hongmei was quite surprised. She didn't expect Zhao Yian to answer like this.

Liu Ying looked at Zhao Yian in surprise. She suddenly realized that she was not involved in the game... She was placed in the position of an "unimportant little role".

She knew that this was Zhao Yian's protection for her. Seeing Zhao Yian talking so freely under such pressure, she gradually became a little dazed.

At this time, the stringless musician held a stringless huqin in his hands and said elegantly, "Then I will assume that you are in charge. Now there is something I need you to bring back to Danqingmen."

"This matter was decided after consultation among the many fellow Daoists present. I hope that Danqing Sect will not question it."

Zhao Yian said, "I am all ears."

I have to say, after being influenced by Danqingmen over the years, his manners are really good.

At least his etiquette is impeccable and no one can say anything harsh about him.

The monk, Puji, chanted a Buddhist name, and with a kind expression and gentle tone, said, "Young friend, we are actually doing this for the sake of the people of the world. We simply wish to ask the members of the Danqing Sect to exert their influence in the court so that the war between the North and the South can be temporarily stopped. Is that okay?"

Zhao Yifu's spirit in the ghost mask was shocked when he heard this. This group of people in the cultivation world discussed for so long, and they came to such a conclusion?
Zhao Yian was stunned. He said, "Master, what are you talking about? I don't understand."

"My Danqing Sect is composed of scholars and hermits. They may be proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, but how can they influence the imperial court?"

Zhao Yian looked so innocent that he was very convincing when he said this.

It sounded as if he really had no idea what the connection was between Danqing Sect and the Great Xu court.

Zhao Yifu looked pleasantly surprised. He didn't expect that it was the right decision to send Zhao Yian to participate in this cultivator conference full of malice.

Taoist Hongmei asked, "Are you the master's disciple?"

Zhao Yian nodded and replied, "Yes."

Taoist Hongmei asked, "How many disciples does your master have?"

Zhao Yian said: "It's just me."

At this time, Baojian Weng on the other side snorted coldly and said, "Don't play dumb here. Do you dare to look at my Baojian and talk to me?"

As he spoke, he took out an ancient bronze mirror made of fine copper.

He shone the bronze mirror towards Zhao Yian and said, "If you tell a lie under the light of this precious mirror, your soul will be immediately fixed... Of course, there's no danger, it will just be uncomfortable for a while."

Zhao Yian scratched his head and was about to say something, but the treasure mirror asked again, "Tell your master to keep an eye on the Great Xu court and not start a war rashly. Do you understand?"

Zhao Yian replied somewhat aggrievedly, "I'll convey it, but what does this have to do with our Danqing Sect?"

Baojian did not respond.

Baojian Weng looked at Zhao Yian's aggrieved expression, then looked at his own Baojian, and suddenly felt that he might have bullied the child.

Taoist Hongmei shook his head and sighed helplessly. He said, "Go back. There is nothing more to discuss with you."

Zhao Yifu was distracted and sighed when he heard it. In fact, at this time, Zhao Yian just had to agree. This way, he could at least fool people and delay for a long time.

Now, what a pity, Qiu Yuzi's plan ran into Zhao Yian's naiveté and was completely useless.

At this time, the independent cultivator Gui Hezi suddenly said, "Take this kid with you to find Qiu Yuzi. I don't believe he won't talk it over."

Monk Puji shook his head and said, "That's not right. If we want to talk to Qiu Yuzi, we can go find him. Why bother a junior?"

This monk Pu Ji has the demeanor of a great man.

Taoist Hongmei nodded and said, "Indeed, the three of us will go to Qiu Yuzi to discuss this. There's no need to embarrass the youngster."

The others also nodded in agreement.

But Gui Hezi disagreed. He said, "If Qiu Yuzi from Danqing Sect doesn't agree, wouldn't it be easier for us to take this kid with us to control the old Taoist?"

Zhao Yian suddenly became angry when he heard this. He pointed at Gui Hezi and said, "You are such a shameless Taoist. You appear to be righteous, but in fact you harbor evil intentions. You are truly a treacherous person."

"I thought this conference was for senior experts to discuss world affairs, but I didn't expect it to be such a treacherous person... Then I think whatever comes out of this conference will be disgusting."

"You don't have to look for my master. I think he wouldn't want to see these things."

Everyone:...

Zhao Yifu: ...

Liu Ying:!!!
Zhao Yi Fu was really speechless. How could his brother be so brave? He simply scolded all the cultivators present.

In particular, Baojian Weng's mirror was still shining on Zhao Yian, but the mirror still had no reaction. Does that mean he really believed it?
Good man, this blow knocked down everyone present.

Especially since he managed to make it known that he was not deliberately humiliating but really meant it.

This time, the lethality is extremely strong.
