Chapter 80: A Carefree Journey among Flowers and Moons · 8

Shi Zhixuan discovered that Xiao Hao was completely different from the ordinary people he had met before.

Not only was he eloquent, well-informed, elegant, and gentle, but he was also as good as himself in martial arts, talent, and strategy.

Shi Zhixuan had always been a lonely person, because looking around the world, there was no other person as talented as him. It was lonely at the top, and when a person could easily control the things he cared about in this world, he would become lonely, depressed, and even live in seclusion.

There were too few people in the world who could understand his thoughts, and only geniuses could understand what was in the mind of geniuses.

But now, he actually found someone whose vision can match his own, which is really a surprise.

Excellent people will attract each other. During the time Shi Zhixuan was in the valley, he discussed and exchanged ideas with Xiao Hao, and even had a verbal battle. Although the two never really fought, every detail and even psychological confrontation were secretly competing for the winner.

Especially on the chessboard, the world is the plate, one person holds the Shu chess, and the other holds the Wei chess. They join forces and kill all sides, which is hearty and refreshing, and they feel a sense of mutual appreciation.

It is easy to get a lot of money, but it is hard to find a soulmate. Shi Zhixuan felt more and more that the hermit in the valley seemed to have a unique charm that was hard to describe. Whether it was his appearance, knowledge, or his way of dealing with people, character and personality, he had a crazy attraction.

This feeling was unprecedented, like a blazing flame, once it ignited in his heart, it was out of control.

Everything was enough to make him indulge in the Wanhua Valley, almost forgetting the disturbances in the rivers and lakes outside the valley.

Xiao Hao seemed to have an endless treasure house, and he could find something new in it every day. This incomparable desire to find out the truth became stronger day by day, and as time went by, he felt that the person in front of him was unfathomable.

Without comparison, you don't know the gap. Since meeting Xiao Hao, Shi Zhixuan has become more disgusted with the ordinary people outside the valley, and at the same time, he has a certain understanding of his seclusion.

Such a person is not suitable to roll in the world of red dust. A gentleman is like a bright moon, living in a secluded valley without being stained by worldly dust, so as not to taint this person's exquisite and pure heart.

Shi Zhixuan also met Lu Miaozi, who was obsessed with the art of machinery, in the valley. Lu Miaozi was his best friend, and they naturally had a lot to talk about when they met. Lu

Miaozi told him about the origin of Wanhua Valley and Mu Qingliu. When Shi Zhixuan sighed at the wonder of fate, he couldn't help but think about the relationship between the Saint Gate, the Righteous Path and this Wanhua Valley.

Wanhua is independent of the two paths and belongs to a special third party. It is neither hostile to any party nor in the same stream with any party. Wanhua has its own philosophy and thought system. Compared with the biased Saint Gate and the hypocritical righteousness, Shi Zhixuan believes that this attitude of a hundred schools of thought contending and a thousand flowers blooming together is more profound.

However, this kind of thought runs counter to political power. Any ruler would hope that religion can help stabilize politics. The

reason why Wanhua does not come out of the world should be that the predecessors have figured out that this place where all kinds of religions and nine schools of thought are flourishing is not suitable to be a political sacrifice.

In comparison, the upright school of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism, and the Saint Gate that advocates self-improvement, will be more valuable in the eyes of the king.

Thinking of this, Shi Zhixuan deeply felt that the fact that Lu Miaozi took the holy relic and hid in Wanhua Valley really added a lot of trouble to this paradise.

Shi Zhixuan still didn't quite understand Xiao Hao's thoughts. Logically speaking

, Xiao Hao shouldn't have taken on such a hot potato. Shi Zhixuan was very curious about what he was thinking.

He walked along the Immortal Trail leisurely and came to the Immortal Rock. Xiao Hao was sitting in the pavilion far away. There were scrolls of calligraphy and paintings hanging on all four sides, swaying in the wind. The valley has been surrounded by smoke all year round, and there are waterfalls on three sides. The waterfalls are rushing down, and the ink-colored figure is painting the waterfalls with his pen, which is a real pleasure to watch.

Shi Zhixuan had long discovered that Xiao Hao's life in the valley can be summed up in one word: "leisure". Playing chess, planting flowers, playing the piano, painting, calligraphy, brewing tea, revising the pharmacopoeia, cooking, tinkering with machinery, stargazing and deducing... all the most comfortable, leisurely, romantic things he could think of, this man did them all. A little helpless, but also a little admiration for people who can enjoy such a life so calmly.

Shi Zhixuan is still young and energetic, with some unfulfilled ambitions and aspirations in his heart. Wanhua Valley is a place of meditation. Although he likes the atmosphere here that is forgetful but worldly, for him, he believes that he can't completely ignore the world.

In this regard, Xiao Hao's state of mind is much stronger than him.

Xiao Hao had already noticed his arrival, put down his brush and smiled, "You came earlier than usual today."

Shi Zhixuan flew to his side and saw a painting of a lotus pond in a secluded valley. Although the Xianji Rock was full of lotus flowers, it was not yet the blooming season. Xiao Hao was able to paint such a beautiful painting facing this pool of clear water, which showed that his observation skills were meticulous. There were no flowers in front of his eyes, but the fragrance of lotus had already filled the pool in his heart.

"I didn't expect that you can paint so exquisitely!"

Xiao Hao said modestly, "It's just a little trick, I just doodled

it when I had nothing to do." No, he copied this picture with the system at least 50 times, and I don't know how much Huanhua Bamboo Ink he wasted, and he managed to make a decent one. The ink dried for too long and was spotted, so he spent a lot of effort to use this waterfall brush method to maintain it until now. When you need

to learn something, you will regret not having enough. Xiao Hao only regretted that he didn't spend more time to improve his miscellaneous skills when he was on Peach Blossom Island.

Shi Zhixuan smiled and shook his head: "Sir, why should you be so modest? With your talent and knowledge, no one in the world can match you." He sat down in the pavilion, raised his head and said seriously: "I have been disturbing you in the valley for more than a month. Sir, you are embarrassed to chase me away, but now I can't stay here so shamelessly."

Xiao Hao frowned and asked curiously: "Zhixuan is leaving now?"

Shi Zhixuan nodded and said casually: "The great cause of the Holy Sect has not yet been determined. I have been in the valley for this time. "At this time, the situation outside the valley has probably become chaotic. Although the overall situation in the world has stabilized, both the righteous and the holy sects should stay on the sidelines and avoid the world, but the two sects of the holy sect and the six paths have always been unwilling to submit to each other. If they cannot unify the upper and lower, Cihang Jingzhai and Jingnian Chanyuan will collude in the future, and the holy sect may not be able to cope with it."

Xiao Hao secretly calculated the time. He actually hoped that the young evil king would stay for a little longer, but since he had already decided to leave, he would let him go back to the world.

Shi Zhixuan said: "However, before we leave, there is one thing I need to ask you, sir."

Xiao Hao immediately said: "I don't deserve your advice, but you can tell me."

Shi Zhixuan pointed in the direction of Tiangong Workshop and said lightly: "Although the mechanism of Wanhua is the best in the world, but... can the mechanism of wood and stone deal with a true master?"

Xiao Hao was stunned when he heard this. Is Shi Zhixuan trying to test his position?

He remained calm and said with a smile, "After all, the machinery is inanimate, how can it compare to the agility of human brains."

Shi Zhixuan frowned. It seemed that Xiao Hao was aware of the consequences of taking in Lu Miaozi. Was he making this decision to be prepared for any eventuality, or was he doing it on purpose to get involved?

Xiao Hao vaguely guessed what he was thinking, so he said, "In the past, there were seven saints in Wanhua, who worked hard to create seven volumes of the Wanhua Secret Book. Unfortunately, the population of Huagu has declined, and in my generation, the seven saints have disappeared. Master Lu has extraordinary ideas and skills. I want to invite him as a guest official and pass on the mantle of the saint, which can also be regarded as an explanation to the predecessors."

Shi Zhixuan was slightly stunned. He thought of many possibilities, perhaps out of compassion, perhaps out of power, or perhaps out of human feelings, but he didn't expect that the reason why Xiao Hao took Lu Miaozi in was actually this. He had too many conspiracies in his mind, and for a moment he forgot that this man was a complete hermit.

Xiao Hao was devoted to studying the seven arts of Wanhua. In his eyes, how could the martial arts world be more important than the inheritance of Wanhua.

Shi Zhixuan couldn't help but laugh, and he had figured it out.

The past cannot be changed, but the future can be pursued. The exposure of Wanhua Valley to the eyes of the world is a foregone conclusion and cannot be avoided; but in the future, if there are people who are blind, he can still help.

Not seeking to avoid the wind and rain alone, just smiling that the Peach Blossom Land is not a dream... Shi Zhixuan secretly made up his mind not to let anyone destroy the peace and tranquility of Wanhua Valley.

Seeing that he did not want to delve further into the matter, Xiao Hao changed the subject to avoid being caught in any flaws: "Since Zhixuan has unrealized ambitions, just go ahead and do whatever you want."

Shi Zhixuan was very touched by Xiao Hao's thoughtfulness and said, "I have been living in the valley, and my understanding of Huajian's mental method has reached a higher level, all thanks to your guidance, sir. However, Huajian's martial arts is at the bottom of the "Heavenly Demon Strategy" after all, and many people in the Saint Sect look down on it. I have another scroll of inheritance in my hand, which is not suitable for practicing in this valley. I can only bid farewell to you with great pain."

Xiao Hao immediately realized that he was referring to the Bu Tian Dao Mentality, and frowned slightly, saying, "Although I don't know much about the Demon Sect, I also know that the two sects and the six paths each have their own inheritance. , how could Zhixuan have the mental method of his sect?"

Shi Zhixuan did not avoid the matter and explained, "In the early years, the head of Huajian Sect, Mu Qingliu, had a close relationship with the leader of Butian Pavilion, Li Shuzhuang. When Li Shuzhuang retired, he handed over some of the incomplete scrolls of Butian Pavilion to Mu Qingliu, so Huajian Sect has always kept the martial arts of both sects."

He paused and continued, "But when it was passed to me, part of this mental method had already fallen into the hands of the Yingui Sect. Recently, my Huajianyou mental method has become more and more handy, but I always feel that there is a bottleneck in the Butian mental method. I think it is due to the incompleteness of the technique."

Xiao Hao suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Shi Zhixuan had been entangled with Zhu Yuyan. It turned out that it was all for the Butian incomplete scroll in Zhu Yuyan's hand.

He stared at Shi Zhixuan seriously, and suddenly asked: "Does Zhixuan like Miss Zhu?"

Shi Zhixuan didn't understand why he asked this, and smiled and said: "How many people in the world don't like a woman like Yuyan?"

Xiao Hao disagreed with Shi Zhixuan and said: "It's different. When I fought with Miss Zhu, she spoke intimately about you, and I think she has already fallen in love with you. If you have feelings for her, you still need to explain to her about the matter of repairing the broken scroll of heaven; if you don't have feelings for her, you shouldn't use her feelings for you to Seize the benefits. "

Shi Zhixuan laughed in his heart. This gentleman has really stayed in the valley for too long. He is so naive about the intrigues outside the valley. "Why doesn't Yu Yan want to get the supreme status of the Holy Gate from me? Everyone in the Holy Gate takes what they need. How can we use it?"

Xiao Hao's face turned cold: "The human heart is the most precious thing in the world. It cannot be trampled on by interests. If you don't understand this truth, I have been blind these days and invited the wrong guests!"

Shi Zhixuan was stunned.

Why did the usually gentle gentleman suddenly get so angry???

The author has something to say: _(:з」∠)_ Lao Shi is still very young. He has been educated by the magic sect since he was a child, so he can't react for a while. It's wrong to use other people's feelings for him to achieve his goals. The good young man Xiao Ritian is working hard to correct this quasi-evil king√

and it's also selfish to help Hao Hao to clear out his rivals 2333333【Lover sounds very romantic, but it's better to draw a clear line√

and secretly lay a line hhhhhh
