Great Blue Night Watchman

The bells of the Holy Family rang, and colorful clouds bloomed all over the place. Outside the painting pavilion, lanterns and colorful lights were lit for a moment, and a long road paved with red carpet stretched straight to the feet of Lin Su and the others.

The welcoming ceremony of the Holy Family is the most beautiful and complicated, but it is also the simplest.

Why?

When other sects welcome guests, they need to mobilize a large number of manpower, arrange the arrangements several days in advance, and spend a lot of materials. They don't need that. They only need to draw a painting in advance, and when the distinguished guests come, unfold the painting. In a different world, a lively welcome ceremony has become.

They can use such paintings unlimitedly, saving time, effort, worry and money, and there will be no mistakes at all.

The great elder took the lead and came from the end of the red carpet with more than a dozen elders. Lin Su was in front and the two women were behind, meeting each other with smiles.

The Great Elder gave a welcome ceremony: "Master Feng Pavilion, Miss Tianyin, and Grandmaster Lin have come from afar to paint the walls of the Holy Family with splendor. Welcome everyone."

Seemingly or unintentionally, he placed Lin Su behind the two women.

Lin Su and the other four people didn't care, and responded at the same time: "I've met all the elders."

"Four of you, please come into the painting pavilion to serve tea!"

"please!"

The painting pavilion stands on the top of the mountains. The surrounding fields are picturesque and poetic. The flowers have withered outside, but here, they are still blooming. The mountain breeze comes slowly, and the water waves outside the pavilion rise. There is the smell of flowers and grass in the wind, and above the white clouds, There are also flying eagles in the sky.

No one can tell whether the flowers are real or fake.

No one can tell whether the flying eagle is real or fake.

The maid came into the pavilion and served fragrant tea. Even the maid and other people could not tell whether it was true or false.

In the Land of the Holy Family, everything is like a dream. The scenes you see may be real or painted. The people you see and the flying eagles are all like this...

Lin Su looked around slightly, then withdrew his gaze...

The great elder held up the tea and said, "The four of you have come from thousands of miles away and don't know why."

Let’s get to the point!

Everyone's eyes focused on Lin Su's face.

No matter how unhappy they were with Lin Su, they still had to have basic etiquette, especially when he appeared at the same time as Feng Wu and Liu Tianyin. Unless it was absolutely necessary, they couldn't just pick off his head.

And they all knew that the two women were just cooperating on today's trip, and the real person in charge was Lin Su.

Lin Su raised his head and said, "I came here today for one reason only. I wonder where your saint son Wu Wanfang is?"

Looking for the Holy Son Wu Wanfang!

The Great Elder frowned slightly: "The Holy Son's painting of farewell has merit, and traveling around the world can be more beneficial. Therefore, it is normal for him to travel around the world. He is not at home at the moment. I wonder what the important thing is for Grandmaster Lin to search for him thousands of miles away? "

Feng Wu and Liu Tianyin's hearts sank at the same time, they were not at home!

And for good reason!

It’s difficult now!

As for the possibility that Wu Wanfang is a demon spy, it can only be clarified by confronting Wu Wanfang. As long as Wu Wanfang avoids it, everything will not go forward.

And with Wu Wanfang's methods, if he doesn't plan to show up, you can't force him to show up even if you have Tongtian's ability.

Lin Sudao: "This matter is of great importance. Can you please ask the Great Elder to send a notice to the Holy Son so that we can talk to the Holy Son face to face?"

The great elder nodded: "Of course it's okay, ladies and gentlemen, wait a moment!"

He stretched out his hand, took a painting in his hand, and with one stroke, the painting rose into the sky. However, the painting was ten feet away from the ground and lingered...

Everyone looked at each other...

"Letters and paintings cannot be reached!" The great elder said: "Is it possible that the place where the Holy Son is at this moment has no connection between heaven and earth?"

"The places in the world that have no connection between heaven and earth are mostly dangerous places. Could it be that the Holy Son, with his body of thousands of gold, is still wading into dangerous places?" The second elder pondered.

The Eighth Elder's eyes flashed: "Maybe it's not a dangerous place."

Everyone's eyes focused on his face: "What the Eighth Elder means..."

The Eighth Elder said: "The Peach Blossom Valley is also the gateway to heaven and earth. The Holy Son also said a few days ago that he wanted to enter the Peach Blossom Valley to observe the entire process of peach blossoms from fruit to flower. Could it be that he has already entered?"

Peach Blossom Valley?

Lin Su frowned: "Where is the Peach Blossom Valley?"

The Eighth Elder said: "The Peach Blossom Valley is in the mountain behind our home, and the Holy Master is also retreating in the valley. Once the Holy Son enters, if he wants to see the peach blossoms from fruit to flower, he is afraid that it will span the two seasons of autumn and winter, and he will not be able to leave until May next year. , Grandmaster Lin is afraid that it will be difficult to see the Holy Son during this trip, and I wonder if I can tell the old man what I want to talk to the Holy Son about, maybe I can do the work for the Holy Son, so that Grandmaster Lin will not have to go back and forth in vain."

What he said makes sense.

They came to see the Holy Son, but the Holy Son was not there. The great elder contacted them in person, but they couldn't get in touch.

They told the elders what they wanted to do when they met the Holy Son, and the elders agreed that if they could do it, the elders would do it.

How sincere is this hospitality?

However, for Lin Su and others, there was a big problem.

Can he make his doubts about the Son public?

Obviously not!

If the Holy Son is present, you can catch him face to face, whether it's through enlightenment, or by lighting holy incense, there is always a way to turn speculation into fact. But when the Holy Son is not here, telling the whole story is just a matter of alerting the enemy. Painting the Holy Family will do the trick. The response plan can be painted as black or white! Can you still expect the Holy Family to exterminate relatives for justice?

What is certain is that even if Wu Wanfang is really a demon spy, the Painting Saint Family will definitely not admit it based on its own reputation and will definitely erase this stain.

"Can I go into Peach Blossom Valley to meet the Holy Son?" Feng Wu interjected.

"It's not appropriate to disturb the Holy Family's retreat... However, four of them have come from afar and are outstanding men of literature and art..." The Eighth Elder hesitated: "It's hard for me to decide whether to enter or not. It's up to the First Elder to decide!"

Give a bow to the great elder.

The Great Elder pondered for a long time: "Master Lin, is it really necessary to meet the Holy Son today?"

“How can it be unnecessary to come here thousands of miles away?”

"Then I will accept it!" The Great Elder made a difficult decision: "I hope the four of you will agree to this. If you see the Holy Lord, the four of you must inform the Holy Lord that this trip is purely for cultural exchanges and not for the Holy Son. What kind of misfortunes have been committed outside, so as not to damage the holy master’s pure state of mind?”

"Lin Su agrees!"

"Four of you, please!" The great elder stood up...

Paint the hill behind the Holy Family.

Peach blossoms everywhere.

What a beautiful and picturesque valley.

The bright red fills the sky, and the fragrance hits your nose. Take a breath and feel relaxed and happy. Looking up, the three characters of Peach Blossom Valley are like colorful clouds flying in the clouds.

"The four of you, please come in by yourselves. The old man and others will prepare a banquet and wait for the four of you to come out of the valley!" The great elder bowed deeply.

"Thank you, Great Elder!"

The four of them stepped into the peach blossom forest and heard the sound of flowing water in the valley. Occasionally, an oriole jumped on the top of the tree. Feng Wu's eyes fell on the jumping oriole, but she had to admit that in her eyes, this oriole was just a living bird. She was poor. It is impossible to tell that this is a person even with the best of eyesight.

So, can the accompanying companions see any clues?

Liu Tianyin frowned, obviously not noticing.

Where is Lin Su?

Looking around, his eyes did not stop at Huang Ying, and he obviously didn't think there was anything special about Huang Ying...

Oh, that was because of suspicion. When I see birds now, I think they are human beings. I am afraid they are sick...

"This valley is elegant, but there are no signs of anyone practicing it!" Liu Tianyin said.

"There is a waterfall over there, and there seems to be a cave behind the waterfall." Lin Su raised his finger and pointed to a line of blue water in front of him. The waterfall flowed down from the top of the mountain, stirring up countless broken jade. When the wind blew, there seemed to be something hidden behind the waterfall. Cave sky.

"Do you want to meditate after the waterfall? The movement and stillness are in harmony. Look!" Liu Tianyin took the lead. With a wave of his hand, the waterfall seemed to be pulled open by invisible hands. There was a narrow cave inside, and a word was engraved on the door of the cave: end!

Feng Wu said: "It seems that this is really a retreat, they must be inside."

Lin Su spoke: "Da Cang Lin Su, Feng Wu, the Young Pavilion Master of the Le Sheng Holy Family, and Liu Tianyin of Tianyinfang, would like to see the Holy Master Wu of the Painting Saint Family, and the Holy Son Wu Wanfang! I also hope to see you!"

The sound is soft but extremely penetrating, reaching the deepest part of the cave.

However, there was no reply.

I told him three times, but there was no reply.

The three of them looked at each other...

"The painter marked the word 'stop', do you want to break through?" Feng Wu said.

Liu Tianyin said: "The meaning of "stop" is vague. Stopping is certainly a stop, and the heart is as quiet and ethereal as still water. The painter carved the word "stop" in this place of pure cultivation. Maybe the meaning is not as complicated as you think. It is just to give yourself a spiritual comfort. That’s all!”

Feng Wu frowned. She analyzed it according to conventional rules. In other people's homes, it would be rude to enter a place with the word "stop" engraved on it.

Liu Tianyin's analysis was unconventional, but it was reasonable. The fundamental reason was that she planned to enter!

Isn’t that what happens in the world?

If you want to do something, you can find a hundred reasons to support it. If you don’t want to do something, there are also a hundred reasons to support it.

There are thousands of holy paths, choose the one that is beneficial and release them.

Lin Su stepped forward with a smile and entered the small cave without saying a word.

The inside of the small hole was very narrow, and it looked like someone was passing by. However, after walking for three or five miles, the front gradually widened, and there was the sound of running water. The four of them stepped out in one step, and suddenly the front of them opened up...

At the entrance of the valley, the great elder's face suddenly brightened!

The other elders laughed at the same time, laughing!

"Eighth Elder, I admire you!" the second elder said with a smile.

The eighth elder also had a smile on his face: "Lin Su is as shrewd as a ghost. If you want to kill him, you must not show any murderous intent. The performances of the elders today are all superb. Is it the work of one person?"

The second elder smiled and said: "The eighth elder had already pointed out what he said, 'The so-called trick must be to hit the opponent's gap.' No matter how smart Lin Su is, he would never have imagined that from the moment he entered the Holy Family, I I immediately decided to kill him! He would never have thought that we would still dare to kill him even when he brought the Lesheng Holy Family and the people from the Tianming Dao Sect with him!"

Lin Su really didn't expect this.

It is true that he did not smell any murderous intention beforehand.

In his opinion, although Hua Sheng Shengjia wanted to kill him, they still had to choose the right time. When he was with Liu Tianyin and Feng Wu, Hua Sheng Shengjia definitely did not dare to have the intention to kill him. .

Why?

Because there are two major difficulties in killing him. First, you must have the ability to kill him! To put it bluntly, even if the Holy Master of the Painting Saint Holy Family takes action himself, he may not be able to kill him. Secondly, you have to worry about the consequences of killing him! He is a regular member of the temple, and entering the Holy Family is basically a leader's inspection. Do you dare to kill the superior leader? This important identity of his has not been revealed, and the Huasheng Holy Family has also selectively ignored it. Okay, I will not mention the identity for a while, but what should you do with the people from the Tianming Dao Sect and the Lesheng Holy Family? Kill them together?

Do you, the Holy Family, still want to hang out?

However, all the problems were no longer problems when Lin Su entered the cave!

Because he "stumbled into Taoyuan"!

…

The four of them stepped out of the cave in one step, and their eyes suddenly opened up.

The green fields stretch endlessly like silk in the open world.

The long green river stretches to the horizon.

There is also an exquisite tea garden where the beautiful waves roll.

There was faint singing coming from the tea garden, vaguely Jiangnan tune.

White clouds float in the sky, leisurely and leisurely. In the depths of the distant bamboo forest, there are also peach blossoms, dots of bright red, which are as poetic as picturesque.

Liu Tianyin looked away from the distant peach blossom with admiration. Suddenly, her expression changed slightly because she saw half of Lin Su's face. This half of the face was extremely serious and revealed endless depth...

She looked in the direction Lin Su was looking and was shocked.

Lin Su looked at the way back. The narrow cave they had just walked through no longer existed. There was no cave at all behind them, not even a mountain. There was only a boundary monument with two large characters engraved on it, ancient and vigorous!

"Taoyuan!" Liu Tianyin called softly.

Feng Wu suddenly turned around and saw the words "Taoyuan" written on it, and her expression changed drastically.

Taoyuan!

It’s related to the Painting Saint!

When the painting saint breaks through the realm and becomes a saint, he breaks the realm of Taoyuan!

He became a saint, and his world was left behind and turned into the Taoyuan world. The Taoyuan world also became the most sacred restricted area of ​​the Holy Family of Painting Saints. As long as the disciples of the younger generation come into contact with the mystery of breaking the saint, they can enter the Taoyuan and follow the path of the Taoyuan. Follow the footsteps of the painting saint, break the boundaries and become a saint.

This is the same as the Han Valley of the Daosheng Family.

Why did Li Guihan dare not enter Han Valley for so long? There is only one reason. After entering Hangu, there are only two results, either breaking the boundary and becoming a saint, or being trapped in Hangu.

The Taoyuan world is the valley where the Holy Family is painted. Once you enter, you will either break through the world and become a saint, or you will be trapped in the Taoyuan.

"I'm careless!" Lin Su sighed longly: "I thought that with you, before we fully expressed our intentions, they wouldn't kill me, but now it seems that I still took it for granted! Paint the Holy Family to kill me My determination is stronger than I imagined!”

Feng Wu's heart skipped a beat: "How dare they? How dare they kill someone so directly?"

Liu Tianyin said: "Yeah, I didn't expect that they would dare to attack so directly!"

"Yes, I would never dare to do so under normal circumstances!" Lin Su said: "But, we gave them a very good excuse. We 'stumbled into Taoyuan'!"

what for?

Entering by mistake, first of all, is "by mistake"!

The Holy Patriarch of the Painting Saint allowed them to enter the Peach Blossom Valley, but did not let them enter the Peach Garden!

They did enter Peach Blossom Valley at the beginning. Peach Blossom Valley was not considered a dangerous place. If they did not drill randomly, there would be no danger.

However, they dug around and discovered the waterfall.

Behind the waterfall is Taoyuan.

There is also a big word engraved on the outside of the waterfall: Stop!

Anyone who has learned a little bit of culture should not understand the meaning of "stop". The master tells you to stop and don't go in. You have to go in. You have plunged into a paradise that you can only enter and cannot leave. No wonder who comes. ?

Liu Tianyin and Feng Wu looked at each other: "So, even if we are trapped in Taoyuan Realm, the Painting Saint Family will not have any responsibility!"

"They set up the word 'stop', and we interpreted it randomly. We had to break through the master's prohibition and break into Taoyuan. How can they have any responsibility? Don't say that only three or four of us were killed. Even if the king of a country was killed, he deserved it! Feng Wu said: "This is the genius of this strategy. You can attack when you advance, and you can defend when you retreat. The truth is always on their side."

"I did the random interpretation!" Liu Tianyin sighed: "It seems that you are all hurt by me, I'm sorry!"

"I have no intention of blaming you. In that situation, anyone would choose to move forward, and so would I!" Feng Wu explained quickly.

Lin Su raised his hand gently: "Don't think too much, everyone understands that you are all hurt by me! However, since you have been tricked, regretting is useless, you still have to look forward!"

"Look forward? Break through the boundary?" Feng Wu's eyes lit up slightly.

"certainly!"

Liu Tianyin shook his head gently: "You probably don't know what Taoyuan Realm is. Taoyuan Realm is the place where saints achieve enlightenment. It has its own rules and cannot be broken by outside forces."

This is the hardest thing right now.

The Taoyuan world is not the literary world. It is the place where saints achieve enlightenment. It is almost the same as the holy world. The holy world has its own rules and blocks all external forces. The power of literature and Taoism is nothing in the holy world. The rules of the spiritual path cannot be applied either, unless you Having the fighting power of a saint is another matter.

Therefore, even if Lin Su possesses the nemesis of the "world" - the law of space, he cannot use it here, because the law of space also has a principle of reciprocity. The space law Lin Su currently understands is far from enough to compete with the saint.

Lin Su nodded: "If you don't allow external forces to break it, then just follow the rules he set!"

The two women stared at him at the same time: "Painting versus painting?"

They know that Lin Su is profound about painting. In terms of Qinglian's theory of painting, his "One Painting Theory" is so exquisite that there are no top masters from the Holy Family of Painting Saints. Among the legacy left by this Painting Saint, there are only Only attainment in painting can give them a way out.

However, they still dare not think that Lin Su can really break through boundaries with his painting skills!

What does it mean to break boundaries with Tao?

It means sanctification!

"Lin Su would not dare to compete with the saint's painting with my crude painting skills!" Lin Su said: "But I know that this Taoyuan world records the painting process of the saint along the way. I am willing to follow the saint's path, Enjoy the scenery along the way!”

As soon as these words came out, an old farmer in the field ahead nodded slightly, and a small path appeared in front of Lin Su.

Although it is a narrow path, it is still as beautiful as a dream.

Walking along the path, there is a tea garden in front of you.

In the tea garden, the singing is sweet and dynamic.

A vivid labor scene appeared in front of everyone. More than ten beautiful village girls came carrying small bamboo baskets. Everyone was so beautiful. The blush on their faces bloomed in the sun, the most moving color in the world.

As soon as they saw Lin Su and the others approaching, the singing of the village girls suddenly stopped. The blush on the face of the village girl at the front seemed to be three points thicker, and her eyes turned slightly: "Where are the guests coming from?"

Their voices are also clear and sweet, just like the clear flow of the wilderness without any impurities.

"Come from Peach Blossom Valley and stray into Peach Garden!" Lin Su said.

The village girl smiled softly: "Young master, don't be upset, this peach garden scenery is unparalleled in the world. Although it is wrong, it is still beautiful."

"Well said, there is a fine line between beauty and mistakes. For example, these tea trees in front of the girls, although they are beautiful and exquisite, they also have mistakes!"

"Oh? The young master is referring to..." The village girl was a little surprised.

"It's already noon, but the tea dew in front of you girls is clearly the dew of the third watch. Don't you think it's a bit inconsistent?" Lin Su stretched out her fingers gently and touched a large dew drop that was about to drop. superior.

The village girl's face turned even redder, and she said with embarrassment, "Ashamed!"

As soon as the voice fell, the tea forest moved, the dewdrops disappeared, the sun shone back, and a path extended from the tea garden into the distance...

Lin Su continued walking on this path.

The songs of the village girls fade away...

Liu Tianyin breathed out softly: "This tea garden is actually a painting. Only if you point out the mistakes in the painting can you move forward, right?"

"Yes! This tea garden was probably painted by the owner of this world when he was young. He lacked some life experience. It is not difficult to find his mistakes, but I'm afraid..."

His voice stopped suddenly, because at the end of the tea garden, there was no road, but a river, the river they had seen far away.

There is a ferry boat in the river, and there is a boatman on the boat. The boatman's face is full of the wind and frost of the years, and his skin is shiny. Every inch is a boatman. The boat under his feet is mottled.

The boatman raised his head: "Where do you four want to go?"

Lin Su said: "Upstream!"

"I can sail against the current, but I don't know what price you are willing to pay."

"But I don't know what price the old gentleman needs?"

The boatman laughed and said, "The boat can only carry saintly travelers, and it can carry poems, paintings, and music!"

Lin Su smiled and said: "Mr. Fengya! I have a song called "Folk Song is Like Spring River Water", can you do it?"

"Wonderful!" said the old boatman: "Please!"

Lin Su smiled slightly: "Come on!"

His eyes turned to Feng Wu.

Fengwu took one step forward, and the melodious flute sound sounded in Taoyuan. Accompanied by the flute sound, the boat moved forward all the way.

However, after walking a long waterway, there is no end.

Feng Wu stopped playing the flute and looked at the boatman: "Old sir, the song has ended. It's time to go ashore. Where is the shore?"

The boatman laughed: "The song has ended, it's time to go ashore, but the shore has not yet appeared, the song should not have ended, why don't you play a few more songs?"

Feng Wu looked at Lin Su, not understanding.

Lin Su smiled softly: "No need, there is something wrong with the old gentleman's paddling. Even if you play all the music in the world, you still can't reach the other shore."

The boatman was slightly surprised: "But why?"

Lin Su pointed to the end of his oar: "When the old man paddles into the water, the water splash is in front when he paddles against the current. When the oar enters the water, the water splash is in front. We were originally rowing against the current, but when the old man paddled into the water, the water splash was in front. This shows that this boat is not If you go upstream instead of downstream, how can you get a glimpse of the other side when you are getting further and further away from the upstream?"

The boatman's expression changed slightly: "Ashamed!"

As I turned the oar in my hand, the water spray changed, and a line of white embankment suddenly appeared in front of me. Behind the white embankment, peach blossoms bloomed everywhere.

Lin Su thanked the boatman and led Kongya onto the embankment.

The boatman's boat drifted down the river and disappeared without a trace.

Liu Tianyin and Feng Wu's eyes fell on his face, both with a certain degree of obsession...

They knew that there was another test question just now, and it was also about painting. They had actually observed it carefully, but they couldn't see anything wrong, but Lin Su could do it. Why? This has nothing to do with eyesight, it has to do with common sense in life. They have really not studied which side of the water the oar splashes into when the boat is going backwards or forward...

This man's literary skills are indeed magical, but the most sacred thing seems not to be his literary skills, but his erudition. He seems to know everything!
