Swallowing the heavens begins with Douluo

"Senior brother is right, they have indeed found a very strong practitioner."

Chen Pipi thought of Long Xiao's calm and relaxed appearance, and agreed heartily.

"What? Do you know who they are looking for?"

The second senior brother's words were as majestic as ever, but there was a hint of curiosity in his tone.

"He is the one who can trap Suzaku." Chen Pipi said honestly.

"So it's him," the second senior brother nodded and said with a smile: "There are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the world. The great practitioners at this level are all outstanding people who have been practicing hard for decades. You should learn more from him in the future."

"Uh," Chen Pipi said doubtfully, "but he's not that old, at most he's about the same age as you, senior brother."

"Nonsense," the second senior brother said with a cold look on his face, "How can you be so young if you can trap Suzaku with a formation?"

"Even if Lotus comes back to life, he can't easily trap Suzaku with a cage. He must be an old man with good looks."

Although Chen Pipi was skeptical about the second senior brother's words, when thinking of the second senior brother's fists, Chen Pipi couldn't help but swallowed his saliva and said with a smile: "Senior brother is right."

The conversation in the shop continued, but Long Xiao could only sit aside as an observer and listen to the two old men reminiscing about the past.

The two old men, with a combined grade of nearly 200, had extraordinary experiences in their lives. They started talking about some inconspicuous trivial matters and talked non-stop for half the night.

The oil lamp in the shop has been filled with sesame oil twice, but the conversation between the two still has no intention of ending.

"It is impossible for people from the Adjudication Department to enter Chang'an. Therefore, for this kind of thing, the palace's intention is to kill them on the spot with Xuan Iron Cavalry."

Yan Se sighed and said: "There are one hundred thousand people in the north of the city. Because of your appearance, these people have no sleep tonight."

"You should know that if you enter Chang'an, they won't let you leave alive."

Wei Guangming was silent for a moment and said with a relaxed smile: "I told you Zeng Jin that I can see some pictures with my eyes."

"Actually, when I came here this time, I knew I would stay here forever,"

"Besides, I already have Sangsang, and all my worries have turned into smoke. So, if you want me to stay, are you ready to pay the price?"

Yan Se frowned slightly, shook his head and said, "It's worth keeping you here, no matter how high the cost."

"It's just that I don't want to do it."

Wei Guangming asked doubtfully: "Why?"

"This is Chang'an," Yan Se said seriously: "For decades, I have walked through here every day, greeted familiar people every day, and eaten the same delicious food every day."

"I don't want you to destroy him, and you should know that this is my place. Even without Suzaku, you still can't leave,"

"It's just that it will take a little more effort."

Wei Guangming smiled slightly and said: "If you want to use that big formation to deal with me, an old man who is about to die, wouldn't it be too wasteful?"

Yan Se stood up and said sincerely: "So, I want to take a gamble with you."

"Just like in the broken Taoist temple in Song Dynasty a long time ago, if you lose, you will keep your life,"

"I'll give an account of the lives of those more than a thousand people. If you win, I think no one in Chang'an can stop you."

Wei Guangming was silent for a moment and said: "So, you keep this gentleman here just because you want him to be a witness to us."

Yan Se looked at Long Xiao and said in a deep voice: "Decades ago, when we were betting in that Taoist Temple, Senior Brother Gao Jianyang was always the referee for us."

"Now, we also need a referee to determine the outcome,"

"I'm afraid there is no one in the entire Chang'an City who is more suitable than him."

Wei Guangming nodded and said, "Indeed, Master is not in Chang'an. I'm afraid only he can see clearly."

"Wait a minute," Long Xiao touched his chin and said, "How can you be sure, I will be the referee for you."

Yan Se was slightly startled, then took out a black object from his arms and said, "Although you look like a thief, you know what you want to do."

"In the past few days, you have been walking around the city just to see what the mystery of this formation is."

"This thing is the formation hub. With it, you can see clearly what this formation is about."

"However, this thing can only be shown to you, not used by you. After reading it, you have to return it to the academy,"

"This thing will be given to Ning Que in the future."

Long Xiao took the formation hub from the old Taoist hand and said doubtfully: "Aren't you afraid that I will destroy this formation?"

Yan Se laughed and said: "If this formation is so easy to break, how can it be passed down for thousands of years?"

"Don't worry, after you read it, just return the formation hub to the academy."

Wei Guangming said calmly: "Then how do you know that I am willing to bet with you?"

Yan Se stood up, looked at the back of the store, and said with certainty: "You will definitely agree."

"The Xuanjia Army's cavalry is outside, and Sangsang is inside."

"For the sake of your apprentice, you must agree to this bet."

Wei Guangming was deep in thought, and threw the white piece that he had been rubbing for a long time back into the niche, stroking his palms and sighing: "You're right."

The morning light fell on Lin 47 Lane, and the people in the shop ate the noodles cooked by Sang Sang in silence.

At some point, the people outside the shop began to disperse.

They retreated very quietly, for fear of disturbing the people in the shop.

In the end, only the second senior brother wearing a high crown still stood silently under the locust tree.

"Creak," there was a sound, and the door of the small shop opened.

Yan Se, who was wearing broken Taoist robes, walked out one after the other from the God of Light.

Following closely behind them was a young man,

There was an extremely tired look on his handsome face.

Behind the young man is the little black girl in the shop.

Sangsang silently moved out the two jars, then mechanically closed the shop door, and the four of them got on the carriage engraved with runes and drove out of the city.

The second senior brother looked at everything in front of him without saying a word. After a moment of silence, he said softly: "Let's go and have a look."

----------

There is a little-known hillside on the northern outskirts of Chang'an City. This is not the hill behind the academy, and naturally there are no bustling academy disciples.

The hills are filled with gravel and are not suitable for farming, so there are no farmers cultivating fertile farmland in the mountains.

The morning breeze blew gently, and there was a light snowfall here last night, making the road even more muddy.

The carriage stopped at the bottom of the hillside,

Yan Se and Wei Guangming walked side by side, walking easily on the muddy path to the mountain peak.

Long Xiao and Sang Sang followed behind them, walking leisurely.

Wei Guangming turned his head and glanced at the thin disciple, with a hint of warmth between his brows.

Master Yan Se pushed aside a branch covered with snowflakes in front of him, looked behind him, and sighed: "I wonder whether the new urn will become heavier or the old urn will become full?"

Wei Guangming said with a smile: "I have lived in Taoshan for several years, and I thought I was going to be buried among the peach blossoms on the mountain."

"The green mountains here are enchanting. It would be great if we could return to the embrace of Haotian here,"

"So, whether it's a new one or an old one, being able to be neighbors in the future will not be in vain as we have known each other for decades."

Master Yan Se glanced at him, nodded and said, "Although you have been boring for decades,"

"He is not a good opponent,"

"If I can be a neighbor with you, I won't be too boring in the future."

After the words fell, the two of them looked at each other, smiled, tapped their feet, and instantly landed on the lawn not far away...
