Chapter 42 The Heart of Desire

In Kunming City, there are lively places and remote alleys.

Liu Tingchun came out of the back door with Shifang, passed through several alleys, and came to the back door of a courtyard.

Two plum trees were planted on both sides, emitting fragrance in the blue sky and sunshine. There was a doorman in gray at the door. When he saw Liu Tingchun, he bowed and said, "Master Liu, you're here."

When the door opened, the two entered the courtyard and stepped on the bluestone path. In addition to the plum trees, there were also some withered flowerbeds and other trees. If it was in midsummer, it would be very beautiful.

Follow the path to a small building located in the garden. The sandalwood plaque upstairs is written with the word Beauty Xuan, which is as delicate and graceful as a beauty.

Before he went upstairs, the small window had been pushed open. A woman who did not apply fat powder poked her head and smiled, "It hasn't been a day. Why did Master Liu come again?"

Liu Tingchun smiled, stepped on the steps, pushed the door and entered. Shifang swallowed and smeared it, so he had to follow in.

Indoor elegant carpet, pink small bed, white curtains, a picture hanging on a wall, which is Liu Tingchun's snow plum double crane picture.

The woman was upright and young. Although she was not stained, she was naturally beautiful. She looked mischievously and said, "Is it possible that Master Liu has accepted his disciples?"

Liu Tingchun laughed and said, "This boy Yumu's head doesn't deserve to be an old disciple. It's just that I think he is too cowardly, so I came here to teach him how to enjoy life."

Xiaoya smiled and said, "What's the name of this little brother?"

Shifang replied respectfully, "In the next ten directions."

Liu Tingchun patted Shifang's head and said with a smile, "Look, isn't it wooden? Haha."

Xiaoya squeezed her lips and smiled, "I think he is honest and cute."

Liu Tingchun sat down next to Xiaoya, hugged her and sat on his lap and said, "There are thousands of human natures. If you want to come first, the most basic, wine, sex and wealth! Xiaoya, you ask someone to give me 20 catties of Hantanxiang for me."

Xiaoya answered in a delicate voice and got up and left.

"Kid, how much can you drink?" Liu Tingchun asked as if he were provocative.

Shifang said, "Up to now, the younger generation doesn't know how much they drink."

Liu Tingchun laughed and said, "Good boy, you have a good time with me for two days. I have been too bored since I was hidden in the city. Except for the usual beauty painting, I was in a daze by myself."

Shifang said urgently, "The younger generation and Taoer have been separated for a long time. We have to rush to Lanfeng Town to meet."

Liu Tingchun curled his lips and said, "In this case, let's learn from him all in one day. When you learn Tianyuan Xuangong, you are more likely to succeed. If you can't stand it, why do you talk about protecting your friends?" After saying that, he also remembered the situation when he was with his sister Lin Yixue when he was in Kunlun Mountain. At that time, he was also powerless about Lin Yixue's being refined into a fate.

Seeing that he was a little dazed, Shifang said, "Senior, Elder Lin, that is, Aunt Shangguan is in Lanfeng Town."

Liu Tingchun trembled all over and looked at Shifang in surprise: "You, do you think Yixue is in Lanfeng Town?"

Shifang nodded and said, "Senior Lin is Tao'er's mother."

Liu Tingchun said in a daze, "Tao'er's mother... Shangguan Jinhong's wife, is she all right now?"

Shifang knew that Liu Tingchun cared about Taoer's mother very much, so he didn't dare to say it directly, so he said, "The younger generation doesn't know. You will know when you go and see it. Won't you go?"

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and a servant came in with two jars of wine. Then, Xiaoya also went into the room and smiled, "Master Liu, the wine you want has arrived."

Since someone entered the house, Liu Tingchun changed his face and said with a smile, "Okay, let's have a good drink. Xiaoya will play a song to cheer up."

Xiaoya answered, took out Zhang Yaoqin from the small cabinet, and sat cross-legged on the carpet. When the ten directions filled the wine, she played it gently with her jade finger, and a song "Spring River Flower and Moon Night" came out.

Liu Tingchun said, "Kid, when you are alive, you must be happy. Come and taste this wine and savor the charm of the song."

Shifang frowned. He has been a monk since he was a child, and he has traveled around with Taoer. How can he understand the enjoyment? Although I had drunk some good wine with Fu Yuntian, I had never tasted it carefully, so I picked up the glass and drank it all.

Liu Tingchun curled his lips and said, "Kid, sometimes life is very good. It depends on whether you will enjoy it or not. Just like this wine, those who will enjoy it will live up to its deliciousness. And if you drink like you, even if there are all kinds of delicious food, you will miss it. Take a sip and taste it in your mouth.

Shifang took a sip when he heard the words and tasted it carefully in his mouth. Sure enough, a mellow fragrance came straight through his mouth.

Liu Tingchun took a sip with a smile and said, "Listen to this song again."

After listening for a moment, Shifang frowned and said, "Senior, didn't you say that Taoist monks should break the vulgar ideas?"

Liu Tingchun sneered and said, "That's a pedantic opinion. How many people in the world of cultivation have broken their vulgar ideas now? If you want to be born, you have to enter the world first. You're right. Seeing Shifang's bitter face, he said to himself, "This boy is really Yumu's head. If you want to practice Tianyuan Xuangong like this, you have to go crazy."

After listening for a while, Liu Tingchun shook his head and said, "Shifang, look at this beautiful wine. The music is melodious. Don't you feel good?"

Shifang took a sip of wine and said, "The younger generation doesn't feel bad, but I'm very sorry for Tao'er."

Liu Tingchun was silent for a moment and said, "In this case, I'll ask you, what do you want most?"

"I want to be with Taoer for the rest of my life, happy and unrestrained."

Liu Tingchun hummed, "Are you happy now? Are you together? Are you unrestrained? What makes you unhappy? Who tied you up?

A trace of anger flashed in Shifang's eyes: "Of course, it's the Kunlun School. If it hadn't been for them, how could Tao'er and I be like this?"

Liu Tingchun shook his head and said, "No, no, the Kunlun faction is just a representative. In fact, as soon as you enter the world of cultivation, you can't help it. Now you don't want to enter the evil faction, and the decency can't be with you. What are you going to do?"

Shifang frowned and said silently. Liu Tingchun said in a low voice word by word, "Who is blocking me, I will kill whom!"

Shifang was shocked. Liu Tingchun said, "Now that there is a lack of resources in the world of cultivation, and they are fighting for their own interests. It seems that your weakness will be eliminated sooner or later, and you will be fine. What should you do if you rely on your peaches and friends? What do you take to take care of others? If you want to experience the realm of the devil, you have to be happy. As long as you do whatever you want, a chivalrous man who kills the devil and defends the way can also experience the heart of the devil.

Shi Fang said to himself, "Can we only kill people?"

Liu Tingchun followed the song and continued with a beat: "Is there no better way than killing people? In fact, in the cultivation world, many people are selfish, but why is there no one to restrain the wind and moon fairy? Why didn't Master Xuankun of Tianyin Temple bother him? Why is the floating sky arrogant and unruly?

Shifang's mind was confused. Liu Tingchun snorted coldly and suddenly shouted, "Shifang, you can enter the world now. What should you do to make yourself feel comfortable? How to make yourself stronger and others dare not provoke you! If you can't do it, you have to force it to learn. Then, this is a hundred thousand taels of silver. If you take it to spend it, how cool do you feel?

Shifang took a sip of wine, took the silver ticket and said, "Okay, the younger generation will do this. First of all, I just don't like to drink." After saying that, he got up and wanted to leave.

Liu Tingchun said in astonishment, "What are you going to do?"

Shifang said, "The younger generation is going to find the cherry now. That's what I want now."

Liu Tingchun smiled. Shifang walked to the door and stopped. He turned around and said, "Senior, do you know what the Central Plains Cold-blooded Alliance is?"

A divine light flashed in Liu Tingchun's eyes and said, "Have you seen someone from the cold-blooded alliance? They are a killer group. In the Central Plains, there are very few places of cultivation with strong aura, so many practitioners do not have the idea of immortality, but focus on Taoism and various killing methods in actual combat. The cold-blooded alliance was born in this situation. They accept employers to use crystals, elixir or precious material magic weapons as commissions to help people kill the enemy. They are very cold-blooded and ruthless. If you see them, you have to run quickly. Although some of them have low cultivation, their Taoism and attack methods are more suitable for actual combat. In some ways, they are more than 100,000 mountains. The sect is even more terrible.

Shifang remembered the thirteenth sister and asked, "Are their people involuntarily?"

Liu Tingchun sighed: "Some people in the cold-blooded alliance are also very pitiful. Once you join them, you have to live a secret life, and you have to try your best to do it when you receive the task. Although you get magic weapons, crystals and other precious items, you also lose your freedom. But you don't have to pity them. Most of them are cold-blooded and ruthless. Again, if you can't contact them, just hide away.

Shifang thought for a moment and then asked, "Senior, where can I get crystal?"

"There are very few crystals now. Some crystal mines have been occupied and excavated by powerful sects. They have not been excavated. It is difficult to find them."

Shifang nodded and said, "The younger generation has said goodbye. By the way, if you have time, you might as well go to Lanfeng Town to see Aunt Shangguan. Her health doesn't seem to be very good." After saying that, open the door and leave.
