Sword of Coming

While helping people read their faces, Lu Chen asked with a heartfelt smile: "I met my senior brother outside the sky earlier. Have you talked to your senior brother about the gift of the "Authentic Alchemy Book"? If it is settled, I will You can avoid sending messages."

Chen Pingan picked up a large piece of marinated meat and stewed bamboo shoots with chopsticks, nodded and said: "We talked, next time I go to Tongyezhou, I will send it to Taiping Mountain."

In addition to the many talismans contained in the "Authentic Book of Alchemy", which are all authentic, Cui Dongshan also revealed secrets to his husband. In fact, the pages of the book itself are excellent talismans.

In addition, Li Xisheng's handwritten annotations in the book contain more than 1,200 words. If used to "refine the characters", it can support a Luotian Jiao to worship 1,200 Taoist gods. Whether it is the Shangzong Luopo Mountain or the Qingping Sword Sect, it is more than enough to serve as a mountain-protecting formation. In the eyes of the monks at the top of the mountain, they dare not say how shocking it is, but at least it deserves the word "impressive". However, Chen Pingan has his own plan. The next time Taiping Mountain officially holds a celebration, he plans to give this Taoist book and the mountain-protecting array as a gift to Huang Ting. Good things come in pairs, and it can be counted as the Taiping Mountain Sword Array given by God. Drawings are a favor.

After all, the incense legal system of Tongyezhou Taiping Mountain comes from the lineage of Bai Yujing's chief disciple Kou Ming.

Lu Chen turned around and asked, "Miss Pei, I want to ask you something. Have those two children clearly learned from Pindao's senior brother?"

Previously, Pei Qian only said that Li Xisheng would take them with him to practice. Whether they maintain the old Taoism or change the lineage of their masters is very particular.

In Suni Mountain in the south of Tongyezhou, there are genealogy monks Miao Jia and He Zhou. One has just entered the Cave Realm and has become a monk. Zhong Kui and his party stayed for a while. If this news spread, no one would dare to believe it. Who is Zhong Kui? Just talk about Pei Qian, stop martial arts! What's more, there is a ghost fairy Yu Jin who fell from the Ascending Realm not long ago. Of course, Lu Chen was extremely sure that it was true to trap them. If the two monks really had malicious intentions, had murderous intentions, and then took action, all he could say was that Pei Qian had the power of Zhijing Fist, which was like the protection of gods. With the weak bodies of those two monks, If you approach Pei Qian with murderous intent, you will definitely die if you get close.

In any case, this pair of senior sisters and brothers from a small sect are both good fortunes. If they survive a disaster, they will have good fortune in the future. As the old saying goes, if the law is destined, it will eventually be available, and if the disease is not dead, it will be cured.

Next to Li Xisheng, there is also a "porcelain man" book boy named Cui Ci. The latter is less worried because he knows that the young man is worried.

Pei Qian stopped his chopsticks, shook his head and said, "They don't seem to have officially become Taoists with Mr. Li, at least for the time being. As for whether they have long-term plans, I don't know."

Lu Chen smiled and nodded, "Thank you, Miss Pei."

Pei Qian said: "Master Lu, you are too polite. Senior and my husband are old acquaintances. If you have any questions, I will definitely tell you everything."

Lu Chen smiled bitterly. The more Pei Qian talks about rules and etiquette, the more guilty and frightened Headmaster Lu becomes.

Old acquaintances, this term is more clever. Liu Xianyang and Dong Shuijing are your master's old acquaintances. Aren't people like Ma Kuxuan of Xinghua Lane also Chen Ping'an's old acquaintances?

Just because Lu Chen currently has a list in his hand, and the names on it are all monks who may follow Chen Pingan to visit Bai Yujing in the future.

In Luopo Mountain alone, there are Cui Dongshan, Mr. Xiaomo whose real name is "鼄鼄" from the demon tribe, Bai Jing who has a greater hope of joining the fourteenth realm of Hedao, and the Huawai who comes from Suichu Palace and was Wu Shuangjiang's Taoist companion. Heavenly Demon, Mi Yu, a swordsman who has reached the realm of immortals... Among my friends, there are also Liu Xianyang of Longquan Sword Sect, Qi Jinglong of Taihui Sword Sect, etc... If Pei Qian is added to the mix, there will be a "wedge" in the affairs of the world. With the text and Pei Qian, it means that the number of pure martial arts will also increase. And every martial artist who is qualified to follow Chen Ping'an and ask Bai Yujing, the nine realms are simply not enough, must they start from the end?

In Lu Chen's view, regardless of the final level of martial arts achievements, only the quality of martial arts qualifications. Yashan Lin Jiangxian in Qingming World, Leyue Peak worked hard, and Cao Ci and Pei Qian here are on the front line. Less than one hand.

In addition, Chen Ping'an and the Qingshan Dynasty's female imperial master Bai Ou were actually a little worse than them.

Chen Ping'an just pretended not to notice the undercurrent between Pei Qian and Lu Chen, and asked: "The side of Qingming Tianxia is similar to Hehuan Mountain, isn't it much more?"

Lu Chen nodded and said: "There are many, far more numerous than Haoran. The snakes and dragons winding around the mountain are still a relatively common road construction path in the Qingming world, but the water is rare."

Speaking of "Taolu Mountains" like Suiyuan Mountain and Wuteng Mountain, Chen Ping'an first saw it when he was traveling in Luzhou, Beiju. On the ferry, he passed by Jinguang Peak and Yuehua Mountain, where the former lived. There is a group of golden-backed geese that are extremely difficult to catch by Qi practitioners. The latter is inhabited by giant frogs. It is said that the two "ancestors" of the golden-backed geese and the singing drum frog have a deep destiny and have followed Li Xisheng to practice in these years. .

Chen Pingan hesitated for a moment and said: "Among the twelve earthly branches of Da Li, there is a female ghost named Gaiyan. She is the shopkeeper behind the Xianjia Inn in the capital. She is also a mountain painter known as Bameike. She can be regarded as a Miao practitioner. Senior on the mountain."

Lu Chen heard what Xian meant and said, "I'll tell my senior brother when I turn around, so that Miao Jia, the unnamed disciple, can have a chance to visit Great Li Capital City."

After all, today's Confucian scholar Li Xisheng is not the former Bai Yujing Grand Master. Although he can teach Miao Jia some exquisite Taoist techniques, just by tracing his eyebrows, Li Xisheng must have mastered the seven orifices and the six. No more clues. And that female ghost changed her beauty, even if her current level is not high, she is a "painter" cultivated by Xiuhu with the efforts of a country. She must have a high level of vision, and she has several superb Taoist books at hand.

Now Lu Chen is very curious and looking forward to something. When the head master returns to Bai Yujing in the future, how many unnamed disciples like Jin Feng Yu Lu and Miao Jia Hezhou will be around?

At Fenwan Mansion, they only tampered with the drinks, but there was no problem with the food. Furthermore, in Pei Qian's field of vision, pink lines were floating in each banquet hall, and there were a group of flying insects as small as tiny midges. Birds, I don’t know what kind of foreign objects they are, their bodies are illusory, they come in and out of the guests’ faces and orifices at will, and they are very fast, dragging out thin and dense silk threads, like weaving cloth, just talking about the white grass next to Pei Qian, the whole head, At this moment it's like being wrapped into a rice dumpling.

Pei Qian asked his master what it was. Not only ghosts like Baimao, but also ghost practitioners like Mrs. Pipa could deceive even some obscene gods. Chen Ping'an couldn't explain why, and it was the learned Master Lu who helped solve the puzzle, and finally the truth came to light.

It turns out that this is an old craft that is not common nowadays. It is a partial technique. First, use the immortal method to brew vinegar, and paste the word "You" on the outside of the jar. It cannot be the red word on a white background for auspiciousness, it must be black and white. After a series of secret processes that require simmering for several days, a kind of vinegar bug named "焯鸡" can be born after opening the jar. Using this kind of vinegar for cooking can make those who eat it for a long time "overturn the vinegar jar", but this is only the first time. After a procedure, this midge-like flying insect is soaked in ink, and then one or two "love threads" spun by the Spring Dream Spider are taken and refined into ink ingots on May 5th, with the words "Spring Outing" engraved on them. Take a pair of crazy men and resentful women from the market. They signed a contract of "eachother" with the deity of a certain temple. Erase the words, take only the paper, grind the ink of "Spring Outing", write the word "ying" all over it, burn the paper into ashes, and put it in In a bowl of water, and then let a woman who is in love take this talisman water, the woman will be in a spring dream one night, without knowing it, but she will suddenly open her mouth and spit out a piece of food that only eats the dream. She transforms into a spring oriole, also known as the "Textile Lady".

Eventually the warblers are tamed, and they can weave a love web for their masters. In addition, wine is a color medium, which has a miraculous effect. The warblers fly quickly, just like the shuttle on the loom, coming and going quickly, and the weaving is endless. Stop, and finally put up a pink tent that hides the miasma and makes the spring beautiful. Therefore, the more sophisticated fox-charming people have always liked to play this trick. As for whether it is used as a way to cheer up the spring night, or as a harmful means of harvesting yang and replenishing yin, it all depends on the intention of the fox fairy.

Qi practitioners in the world, especially Shanze Yexiu, are busy in the mountains, rivers and markets all year round. They have their own reasons for being busy. Just collecting all kinds of strange materials and repeatedly studying various side techniques are enough to keep them busy. Casual practitioners who do everything by themselves can't help but sigh that "there is no end to learning."

To break through this kind of enchantment formation, ordinary mountain and water barrier-breaking talismans are of little use. It is simple and simple. The monks who are deeply trapped in it only need to light mugwort and pine branches.

But the problem is that most monks can carry a few mugworts and pine branches with them when they are full.

Chen Ping'an said: "Is this Yu Chunzhi building a romantic tent? Is she still the kind of beauty who practices color refining?"

Yan Zhi and the sewing man who is good at killing people and skinning them into talisman paper, as well as the Du Shi, the God of Plague and the Poison Immortal are all one of the ten evil heretics selected by Haoran Tianxia. Once the whereabouts of these monks are discovered, their fate will be the same. It won't be much better. Confucian academies from all continents will definitely send gentlemen and sages to participate in the search. The most exaggerated one in history was a dynasty under the mountain in Liuxia Continent. The two plague gods used migratory birds and river fish to spread the plague respectively. In just half a month, the surrounding six countries were transformed into a vast land without any living people. Starvation and death were everywhere, ghosts were rampant, and nearly a million Yin soldiers were gathered to violate the law wantonly. , an academy mountain chief was also secretly attacked and killed by the Immortal. In the end, the Confucian Temple teamed up with Tianyu Dongtian and the old swordsman Zhou Shenzhi to kill the Immortal. However, there are also rumors that this Immortal almost killed him because of this. The immortal evil cultivators who reached the Ascension Realm actually did not die. Instead, they took the form of ghosts and immortals. Most of their remaining souls fled to the underworld and started anew, hoping to one day return to the earth and see the light of day again.

Lu Chen shook his chopsticks and said, "No, this earthly fox fairy has only scratched the surface of the art of pointillism. I guess by chance, she picked up a Taoist book on the side of the road during her cultivation. She didn't have a master to guide her, so I gave it to her. He has mastered some crooked techniques. If Yu Chunzhi was a serious Yanshi, that old man with a bulging belly like a frog and a martial artist with a golden body would have been kidnapped here by Yu Chunzhi long ago if he dared to wander around the town. , every day when I get out of bed, I have to squat under the wall and bask in the sun. If my body is a little weak, I will become a human and can't see us."

Anyway, there weren't many people with butts in this banquet hall. Even Manager Yu went elsewhere to toast, so two maids who had nothing to do were seduced by the young Taoist priest and sat down.

Lu Chen helped move the chairs to the two beauties sitting next to him. He looked at their faces and told some insider information on the mountain about why people with bamboo-like noses were not suitable for practicing thunder magic. He frightened them into a daze, and then he started Turning to help read the palms, they were probably the maids of Fenwan Mansion who were more respected by Yu Chunzhi, so they were all given the surname Yu. They were plump and thin, and their waists were too thin. One is thin and graceful, wearing a green dress.

At this moment, Lu Chen held the slender hand of the plump beauty with one hand and helped her count the number of white crescents on her fingernails. Then he asked her to face her palm to the ground with her fingers raised. The young Taoist priest glanced at the curvature of the back of the woman's hand. The Taoist priest nodded. Without saying a word, he just asked her to clench her fists and lowered her head to look at the word "tu" formed by the clusters of her palms. The Taoist priest raised his head and first congratulated the sister for being able to practice the moon worship technique, and then told her where it was. The date and time of when to receive the moon soul are very important... The Taoist priest was spitting all over the place, and the beauty whose slender jade hand was always held by the Taoist priest seemed to be looking at her, but in fact, she listened perfunctorily and just thought she was bored. Sometimes I listen to people talk about books.

Pei Qian turned to look at his master.

Chen Ping'an had already eaten. He picked up a dried longan from the fruit plate and whispered: "It sounds unreliable, but in fact every sentence is true."

Just like Jiang Qu, if Chen Ping'an hadn't mastered the talisman, then even if Jiang Qu could practice in Luolu Mountain, his situation would have been similar to that of Guo Chunxi on Gongliu Island, as if his qualifications were extremely poor.

There are too many people in the world who are like "Jiang Qu who has never climbed to Mount Luopo to practice talismans". This is the case for Yu Yiju, who obviously has the destiny to practice moon worship, but does not have such luck.

Baimao introduced with a smile: "This is made from dried longan from Xialuling. Xiao Zheng, try it. The medicine book says that this product is a concentrated divine product, suitable for all ages. It can nourish the mind and improve the eyesight. Do you want to Ah, a fruit can be named 'longan', how can it be a waste of money?"

Pei Qian thanked Palace Master Bai and twisted a dried longan.

Hearing this, the young Taoist priest quickly grabbed two longans and put them into his mouth, and said vaguely: "Sister Yiyou, sister Rongyu, I think that after tonight, your time and horoscope will match each other. As expected, good luck will come. "

Their surname is Yu, and they are beauties with their own charms, so it fits the situation very well with the name of Meiren Yu, which is originally a song of Jiaofang.

Yu Yiyou had a slightly melancholy expression on his face, bit his lip, and said in a low voice: "Master Lu, isn't it said on the mountain that immortal fate has existed since ancient times? It's hard to find blessings without luck, and it's useless to force things, and it's fruitless to ask hard."

The woman in green clothes sneered: "You are a Taoist priest, you are obviously reading palmistry, why do you mention the horoscope again? Did we tell you the horoscope? It's nonsense, has the secret been revealed?"

The plump beauty helped to smooth things over, "It's better than those pretentious words, saying things about the darkening of the hall and bloody disasters, and then hinting at cheating money by giving money so that you can lose money."

"Relying on spending money to eliminate disasters should not be completely believed in, nor should it be completely disbelieved."

The young Taoist priest coughed and said, "There is something special about this. You have to use money from the main entrance to ward off disasters and escape. Money can help the gods. You need to know that this money involves shady virtues and blessings. Whether it is copper coins or silver, it is just It's just a bridge for the different paths of darkness, such as the incense on the table and the curling of green smoke. It is the smallest way to ascend in the world. It goes straight to heaven, and sincerity leads to spirituality, so the sins can be written off. But To say that using those side money that came from illegitimate sources to prevent disasters is naturally adding fuel to the fire. It’s not that you don’t repay it, it’s just that the time has not come yet, otherwise you will do bad things, especially those who are full of evil, high-power, and the home of Fbing. Instead of raising cattle and sheep, then walk a few more steps, go to the temple and burn a few sticks of incense, and everything will be fine? How can there be such a clever and easy thing in the world? Like black and white words, good and evil are clear, unless... it is labeled yellow .”

Yu Rongyu's temper was obviously much worse than that of Yu Yiyou. He didn't give any face to the fortune teller and sneered: "It's even more mysterious, isn't it? Who can distinguish between righteous money and side money? A Qi practitioner?" Aren’t there only the local city gods and the five mountain kings of one country?”

It suddenly became cold.

The young Taoist priest had previously focused on plump beauties, but now he finally started to make up for it, "Sister Rong Yu, you really have a good name. You are blessed with beautiful shoes and free time. When I look at your face, I know you are a wealthy person." If you are lucky enough to be late, if you marry a scholar at the foot of the mountain, take care of your husband and raise your children, and find a wife with jade chopsticks and seals and a gold scroll, what is the difficulty?"

Yu Rong sighed, and the plump beauty quietly pinched her arm, reminding her not to be so insignificant. Fortunately, Manager Yu was not here for the time being, otherwise she would not be able to eat and walk around.

Logically speaking, even the guests in this side hall belong to the group with the lowest status at tonight's wedding banquet. Baimao is here, and he belongs to the general among the short ones. He is not as good as the superiors, but more than the inferiors. The Lord of Lingbai Mansion is considered a first-class guest here, but the young Taoist priest, the sword-carrying boy, and the freckled woman, the last three to enter the side hall and take a seat, no matter how humble their status is, they are also guests of Fenwan Mansion. Yu Rong and He shouldn't be so presumptuous, but that young Taoist priest's words and deeds deserved scolding.

Otherwise, this maid in green clothes, with the boy in straw sandals and the woman with bun hair, would still behave well and treat guests politely.

It's just that Director Lu, who seems to be used to sleeping in the open air, really doesn't look like a serious person, so he took it upon himself to scold him.

Baimao was surprised and said with a smile: "Didn't you think that Director Lu knew about the pornographic system and the imperial edict system in Gongmen?"

Baimao was not a big official during his lifetime. He was just an official from his parents in one county. He also came from a foreign official background, so he had no chance to use the officialdom procedure of being labeled yellow.

"I heard it by chance, I heard it by chance."

The young Taoist priest began to get close to the generous master Bai Mansion, "Brother Bai, why did you open the mansion next to scorpions? Is it because there are so many scorpions? Are there any dried scorpions in the house that can be used as medicine? Xiaodao made a deal with the old man to help him. Your house sells it to other people, and Pindao just makes a profit, but in the mountain market, a pound can be sold for several taels of silver."

Baimao said angrily: "A wedge is a thing that brings out something. It's not a snake or a scorpion like you think, Director Lu."

The Taoist priest showed no embarrassment and asked, "Isn't it pronounced Qiziling? Isn't the word wedge the same pronunciation as Qi?"

Baimao took a sip of wine and said earnestly: "Master Lu, as a practitioner, you should not always be busy cultivating Taoism and becoming an immortal. You should read more in your free time."

The Taoist priest suddenly realized: "That's it."

Pei Qian looked elsewhere in the banquet hall. The two mountain gods from Hehuan Mountain and many maids from the two palaces were always soliciting wine and hospitality. Many wild cultivators were drunk and started to act erratically.

She frowned and asked: "Master, the banquet has been delayed for a long time. It's almost half an hour. When does Zhao Fuyang plan to take action?"

Chen Ping'an glanced at the Mountain Goddess who was now aliased as Gong Hua, and said: "He is already in retreat. He only needs to wait patiently for all the gods of the obscene temple to be possessed, and Yu Chunzhi will really open the pink tent, and in an instant You can decide life and death, so as to avoid a few big fish slipping through the net, especially the accidents like the obscene gods knowing that they can't escape, and destroying themselves in a vicious attack. Moreover, the more Bai Mao and the others drink, the more they can sense the passage of time. The speed will then slow down, just like when an ordinary master falls asleep, except for dreaming, he is almost unaware of the flow of time."

Lu Chen smiled and asked, "Master Bai, sister Rong and Yiyou, do you know the name of the big tree at the foot of the mountain?"

Yu Yiyu just said he didn't know. Fenwan Mansion has strict rules and strict hierarchies. They are not allowed to ask questions or gossip behind their backs.

Bai Mao shook his head and said, "Please help Mr. Lu to clear up the confusion."

Lu Chen said with a smile: "There is an old saying that day lily forgets worries, and albizia albizia forgets anger. Just because it is said that anyone who sees this flower blooming, whether they are furious or filled with anger, will all turn their anger into joy and their tears into laughter. .”

"Every year on May 5th, around the Dragon Boat Festival, the albizia tree blooms. If you look down at the foot of the mountain from the mountain, the trees are covered with flowers, like a red umbrella."

"The tree at the foot of the mountain is Albizia julibrissin. It is similar to the sycamore tree. It has a tall crown and a wide crown, with dense flowers and leaves, and has a beautiful meaning. Therefore, it is a good garden shade tree and street tree. This tree can grow in arid and barren lands, but it cannot withstand the heat. The skin is easy to shed due to long-term exposure to the scorching sun, and we are also afraid of waterlogging.”

Hearing this, Yu Rongyu sneered, "Taoist priest, please stop showing off your knowledge. It's hard to say whether it's an albizia tree or not. Anyway, this tree never blooms every Dragon Boat Festival. Everyone knows this fact."

The plump beauty looked at Yu Rongyu. Xiao Nizi seemed to be on the receiving end of a gun today. Her words with the young Taoist Priest were always at odds with each other. Yu Yiyou couldn't help but laugh. In private, the two sisters joked, and Rong Yu would always say, If he is a handsome man, he means his words are witty; if he is ugly, he means being a hooligan.

Yu Yiyu glanced at the foreign Taoist priest wearing a fishtail Taoist crown. He was not ugly at all.

The young Taoist priest sighed for no reason, "Who knew that eating every meal on the plate is hard work?"

If Chen Ping'an hadn't appeared here tonight, no matter whether the young hidden official of Luolu Mountain agreed to attend the ceremony in Qingxing Kingdom, the guests in the mountain tonight would all be meat on the chopping block.

Regardless of whether they are good or evil in nature, it is not easy for them to practice, but in the end they become the food on Zhao Fuyang's plate.

Of course, if there are many who deserve to die, there must also be many who die in vain. The latter are like Chuanziling Baimao, and the two maids from Fenwan Mansion who are sitting next to Lu Chen at the moment.

Chen Ping'an couldn't help but gather their voices and asked Lu Chen: "Is this acacia tree a manifestation between reality and reality?"

Originally, I thought that this tree was just Zhao Fuyang's trick to cover up the mountain and water restrictions that had horns on his forehead.

But if one goes by the implication of Lu Chen’s statement, the growth characteristics of this Albizia tree, together with Zhao Fuyang, who was born as a mountain python, turn the mountain into a dragon, and the two parties are signs of the harmony of the great roads, which is the so-called Taoist atmosphere on the mountain. , to say it is an auspicious scene is not an exaggeration.

This kind of "immortal miracle" is relatively rare to be placed on a golden elixir monk.

Lu Chen laughed from the bottom of his heart and said, "The poor Taoist said earlier that there are five roads at Zhao Fuyang's feet. How could he make it up randomly? Palace Master Zhao's bloodline as a descendant of the dragon and his qualifications for cultivating the Tao are all there."

Baimao asked doubtfully: "Master Lu, what made you angry earlier?"

"Brother Bai, you must keep this good habit of not being ashamed to ask questions!"

The young Taoist priest poured a little wine into the palm of his hand, then dipped his fingers into the wine like ink, wrote the character "貲" on the table, and said with a smile: "It is appropriate to carry out big things, but to be careful about small things."

At this moment, a long insect appeared almost at the same time in the cracks of the broken walls and near the roads in Fengle Town, as well as in the Zhuiyuan and Wuteng mountains. It had a body like a thin pen tube and a centipede shape, with horizontal stripes on each segment Like golden threads, they were densely packed and mighty, swarming towards the acacia tree at the gate of the mountain. The red paper strips hanging from the trees melted like water, stretching out long bright red lines and hanging to the ground.

When the accountant at the mountain gate saw this, he was horrified and hurriedly climbed onto the table. The shabby scribe who was in trouble forced himself to calm down and silently recited the sage's words in his heart to strengthen his courage.

In the preface, there is a quote from a sage, which is not as popular as the whole poem, but is equally as powerful as the saying goes: "There are seven Qi in the other world, but I have one Qi. If one can fight against seven, why should I suffer!"

At the wine table on the mountain, Lu Chen said with a smile: "Chen is also the name of an insect, as is the millipede. Common people commonly call it centipede, a hundred-jointed insect. It lives in groups, eats carrion, and curls up like a ring of knives. Xia Yue likes to climb trees and neigh. I believe it. This kind of thing is extremely common among the piles of rocks and grass in Chuezi Ridge on the side of Palace Master Bai."

Bai Mao nodded and said: "It's very common. There is a saying in the book that 'the centipede insect dies but does not freeze', which refers to this kind of millipede."

The young Taoist priest said aggrievedly: "That's why I misunderstood that Master Bai's dojo is called Scorpion Neighbor, because it is infested with insects and snakes."

Baimao, however, was thinking to himself and sighed: "If I remember correctly, Bai Yujinglu's Qiu Shui Pian wrote about this kind of long insect, named 'cockroach'. There is a wonderful sentence that says that Kui pities cockroaches and cockroaches pity snakes. , Snakes pity the wind, the wind pities the eyes, and the eyes pity the heart. Master Lu is truly a man of pure virtue and integrity. He is indeed a man of great words and wisdom. Just such a sentence can explain many great principles. .”

The woman in green clothes squinted at the Taoist priest with Chinese character face wearing a hibiscus crown, and said with a smile: "We are all Taoist priests. I don't know who is so ignorant and talkative. He has a little knowledge, but he likes to talk in complicated words and chatter endlessly."

Extremely aggrieved, he said with resentful eyes: "Sister Rong Yu, how can you compare Pindao with Lu Chen?"

That's what a poor person is.

Pei Qian twitched the corner of his mouth.

Chen Pingan poured a bowl of wine and handed it to Headmaster Lu. Since he was so good at chatting, he would drink more.

Lu Chen stretched out his hand to block the drink and said, "Brother Chen, must he have forgotten that poor people don't drink."

Chen Pingan said: "You drank it."

"Pindao has just made up his mind to stop drinking for a few days."

"Drinking will give you the energy and strength to quit drinking."

When the sword-carrying boy and the young Taoist priest were urging each other to drink while the other was holding back the liquor, it was probably because Baimao mentioned Bai Yujing and the Taoist priest mentioned the name Lu Chen.

When the two maids of Fenwan Mansion heard this title, they were as fascinated as Baimao.

They just experienced ups and downs of mood for a moment. After all, it was out of reach and it was useless to think about it.

The Taoist leaders are so virtuous that they are as high as heaven, and their knowledge of Taoism is bottomless.

It's just a world apart.

Thinking about Headmaster Lu, it is better to think about the young hidden official from Aquarius Continent.

He is also a great person who is out of reach and unattainable, but at least he still has some hope and thoughts. After all, isn't there a mirror in the mountains?

In the two mansions of Yongyun and Fenwan, many female cultivators of their status are looking forward to when Luolu Mountain will open. They all have their own greed. They say that there is a young man in white with a red mole on his eyebrows who is unparalleledly handsome. , it is also said that the Mi Da Sword Immortal from the Great Wall of Sword Qi has a face as beautiful as a crown jewel. Of course, the one they most want to see as the "person in the painting" is the young hermit official in blue shirt with a sword and unparalleled wind. .

Even those with noble status, such as the third young lady Yu Youyi, and the fourth young lady Zhao Yan, are not equally surprised that a large sect like Luo Po Mountain can't do anything about it?

Lu Chen couldn't resist Chen Ping'an, so he had to take the wine bowl and drink it all in one gulp.

In fact, it doesn't matter whether the three of them drink or not, even if they are drunk to the point of drunkenness, Chen Ping'an's foundation is a talisman, not to mention Pei Qian, Yu Chunzhi's tricks are not enough.

Now that drinking has started, Lu Chen is no longer restrained. He drinks after meals, and the more he drinks, the more he drinks.

The young Taoist priest's toast was unique. He raised his wine bowl and said, "Even though our hometowns are different, and people and ghosts have different paths, after all, the sun and moon share the same sky, and we all have a good relationship with each other."

Lu Chen held the wine bowl in one hand, twisted his wrist, shook it gently, and stared down, the wine in the bowl rippled.

What's the name of this boxer in the future? Zhang Ye? Chenye?

————

The mountains welcome people to stand, and the sound of streams and rocks is noisy.

This extremely wealthy ancestor of the Zhang family in Tiancao County has white beard and hair and a burly figure, but he has the appearance of a common man wearing gray robes and a black scarf. He sits cross-legged on a rock beside a cliff, surrounded by water.

The old man put his fists on his knees and raised his eyes to look at the distant scenery in the night, the lonely village with flowing water, new ghosts and old graves, dead trees and jackdaws, like a widow crying at night, and phosphorus fire dots, like the rising cold that restrains people.

Zhang Qiong raised his eyes slightly and looked at Hehuan Mountain, Wutengshan Fenwan Mansion, which seemed to be a thorn in his side. He thought that it was a scene of bright lights and people drinking wine. For the old man who hated evil, Hehuan Mountain was a thorn in his side, but if he really wanted to If you don't look, you can be out of sight and out of mind. In fact, the last time Zhang monks encircled Hehuan Mountain, there was no objection from the family ancestral hall. The reason couldn't be simpler. Most members felt that the benefits were too small and the risks were too great. The Zhang family of Cao County and Hehuan Mountain had no enmity, so why should they be so tit-for-tat, especially if they were so eager for success? However, Zhang Xiao couldn't convince everyone with reason, so he had to act like the head of the family, and the road was in trouble.

Facts have proved that the ancestor of the Zhang family in Tiancao County is indeed "sighted". A group of monks did not even reach Yongfeng Town at the foot of the mountain, so they had to return without success. They suffered such a big loss and hurt the family. After hundreds of years of hard work, the vitality has been accumulated, but the key is that there is no gain. If there is no one or two generations below Zhang Qiong in the family, and there is no earthly immortal for the time being, the old man may have to give up his position as the head of the family.

Fortunately, Zhang Caiqin, the great-great-granddaughter who was chosen as the next head of the family, was of the same mind as his great-great-grandfather, and Qi Song, the old man who was the chief guest, was also close friends with Zhang Xiao. In addition, the Zhang family in Tiancao County had a double happiness, except Zhang Caiqin. , and Zhang Yujiao, a young swordsman with earthly immortal qualifications, saved Zhang Qiong from being in danger in his later years.

But for the Liu family court of Qingxing Kingdom, such a piece of territory is a real thorn in the flesh. The other two countries are not happy to have such a lawless separatist force, occupying thousands of miles of mountains and rivers in vain, which is just a temple calculation for the court since ancient times. Unless a hero or a coward is willing to risk the fate of the country and "go his own way", there will always be quarrels like this, and there will be no conclusion for a long time, and they will just shift the blame.

Zhao Fuyang was determined that Emperor Liu could not persuade the other two monarchs to cooperate sincerely and attack Hehuan Mountain together.

Therefore, Zhang Caiqin and Hong Yangbo's trip to Dali in the north and successfully persuaded that person to participate in the Crown Prince Liu's crowning ceremony became an extraterrestrial mark on a dead chessboard.

Zhang Qiong asked: "According to the scheduled time, has the recruitment process started in Fenwan Mansion now?"

Zhang Caiqin said: "If it is on time, the mountain god's recruitment of a daughter for marriage should have started two quarters of an hour ago."

Zhang Xiao took out a sesame cake wrapped in oil paper from his sleeve and raised it towards her. Zhang Caiqin smiled and shook his head, and the old man started chewing on his own. As for the old immortal Cheng, forget it and don't put his hot face on his cold butt.

Zhang Qiong said with a smile: "Are we being aggressive? Will Zhao Fuyang jump over the wall in a hurry? Will we die together?"

After all, Zhao Fuyang, the local emperor, had promised to return the three-party seals, including the imperial seal, to the Liu family of Qingxing Kingdom the day after tomorrow after the banquet was over.

In exchange, within half a year, the Liu family gave back jade seals from other countries of similar quality from the three sides of Hehuan Mountain. Of course, this is just Cheng Qian's delaying strategy.

Zhang Qiong wiped the corner of his mouth, "It seems that countless cases have proved that if you really push a Shanze Yexiu like Zhao Fuyang, who is tough-minded and has no shortage of skills, they will be willing to cut themselves off and really dare to pull the emperor down."

Cheng Qian smiled calmly and said: "A Hehuan Mountain only contains two golden elixirs. It cannot stir up waves."

According to the agreement, he will personally deal with Zhao Fuyang from the Falling Yuan Mountain. When the time comes, they will fight against each other. As for Yu Chunzhi, the golden elixir fox fairy, he will let the monk Zhang from Tiancao County suppress him.

Zhang Qiong was full of doubts and couldn't help but ask: "Why did Zhao Fuyang change his mind temporarily? Make such a big concession?"

Cheng Qian said: "Now that things have happened, the reason doesn't matter anymore."

This sentence is similar to a certain sentence Zhao Fuyang said in the family ancestral hall.

Zhang Caiqin sighed quietly, if Zhao Fuyang and Yu Chunzhi had not made love in the mountain, each of them merged with the two mountains of Suiyuan and Wuteng, and used a Taoist Fangzhong technique secretly taught by Jinxian Temple to improve their realm and improve their Taoism, then each of them would have The forces on all sides were afraid that these two lords of the Promiscuous Temple would jump over the wall and abandon the foundation of the Taoist temple and the family business, so they escaped over the wall. From then on, they formed a bloody feud with several forces and fought to the end. Once Zhao Fuyang escaped, The day of birth, whether it is the Liu family, the Jinque sect, or the Zhang family of Tiancao County, the consequences are unbearable.

Although Zhao Fuyang also knows the magical power of "carrying mountains" that was passed down orally from the ancestors of Jinxian'an lineage, but once he has to carry the mountain, he will inevitably slow down in such a hurry. Furthermore, Cheng Qian, as the contemporary head of the Jinque Sect, naturally has to do it early. There are countermeasures.

Now that the net has been closed, just like hunting, we advance together with all corners of the body, and as the encirclement shrinks, we will exterminate the group of wolves in the mountains tonight.

The entire Hehuan Mountain boundary is already a turtle in a urn, and the entire Hehuan Mountain is also in the pocket of Master Cheng.

Zhao Fuyang's hosting of a banquet to attract relatives this time was considered a blessing from God, and it was also a recipe for self-destruction in Hehuan Mountain.

Zhang Caiqin couldn't help but ask a certain question again, "Grandpa, are you really sure that there is nothing wrong? Zhao Fuyang, the golden elixir bottleneck, is he sure that he will not break through and become the Nascent Soul in the near future?"

Zhang Qiong put the last piece of sesame oil cake into his mouth, stretched out his finger, and pointed at the big tree at the entrance of the mountain. "Whether there are any signs of flowers blooming on this tree is a sign of whether Zhao Fuyang has broken through. He cast No amount of restrictive tricks can hide it. Fatty Qi's stay in Fengle Town is not just about showing off his majesty. This tree mountain has the horns of a dragon."

Cheng Qian nodded and said: "I had a close look at this tree at Pomo Peak, and there was nothing unusual about it. It will take at least several decades of hard work before Zhao Fuyang has a certain chance to warm up the Nascent Soul."

It's just that majestic and strange energy that makes people confused. No matter how Cheng Qian deduces mental calculations, he still has no clue, let alone touches the truth.

To be precise, just like that qi force never appeared in the small town at the foot of the mountain, Cheng Qian had to give up the idea of ​​pursuing the truth. Instead of tracing the origin, he only made predictions about good and bad luck. The results obtained were still relatively vague and generally belong to For Cheng Qian and the Jinque sect, the hexagrams that cannot be relied upon and that human power determines good or bad are enough.

Zhang Qiong praised him for no reason, "As high an official as a king, as young as a king, it is rare in the world."

Cheng Qian said calmly: "Young Shao girl, she has her own temperament."

Zhang Caiqin was a little helpless. They are all elders and it is not appropriate for her to speak.

You two little kids are bickering here.

Zhang Caiqin knew that in fact, his great-great-grandfather and the protector of the Qingxing Kingdom, the third head of the Jinque Sect, were not like-minded in the true sense.

Great Grandpa disliked Cheng Qian. He was too pretentious in his behavior and speech, his aura was too fairy-like, and his human touch was too weak.

When you evaluate each other in private, it is the wood carvings and clay sculptures in the shrine.

Zhang Caiqin once firmly believed in this and did not regard it as a derogatory term, so she only had such a comment with Hong Yangbo after meeting someone in Qingfufang.

Just say that last time the Zhang family of Tiancao County attacked Hehuan Mountain, the Liu family of Qingxing Kingdom and the Jinque sect chose to sit on the sidelines.

Of course, Emperor Liu and Cheng Qian had their own concerns. For example, the other two countries were stationing troops on the border and watching with eager eyes.

What's more, the Liu family's court also had three precious seals, which fell into Zhao Fuyang's hands. We are not afraid that Zhao Fuyang will destroy the seals, but we are afraid that Zhao Fuyang will use the methods on the mountain to damage them, such as leaving those seals in some sinister and dirty places. In this way, if the fate of a country is compared to a person, then The seals that were supposed to be used to control the country have become gangrene on the bones, or they have simply refused to do anything and refined all the seals into their natal objects. From then on, Zhao Fuyang and Yongyun Mansion have been with the Liu family. , Mountains and rivers are connected, and the Liu family has to be dumb to eat Coptis chinensis and suffer unspeakably.

But these days, my great-great-grandfather always keeps repeating one sentence.

“I always feel like something is wrong, but I just can’t put my finger on it.”

Although he was not disheartened, Zhang Caiqin felt for the first time that his great-great-grandfather had a sense of twilight and that the hero was dying.

Within the family, almost everyone, including young monks like Zhang Caiqin and Zhang Yujiao, supported her great-grandfather's wrong decision, which indeed caused serious damage to the family.

Like Zhang Yujiao, he feels that his only mistake is that his level is not high enough.

On the contrary, the old people in the ancestral hall who were one or two generations younger than Zhang Qiong had a lot of resentment about this. They were both good and well-off, so why did they provoke Zhao Fuyang from Hehuan Mountain?

They are also land immortals that everyone envies but cannot obtain. They are also divided into "old, young and young". Zhang Xiao is an old man among the earth immortals. He has been forming elixirs for more than 300 years, and his true soul is tending to decay. , although the soul will not be shaken and the oil will be exhausted, but if Zhang Xiao is within Jiazi and still cannot break through, he will really end up "die".

It's just that Zhang Qiong has always been open-minded and only said that in recent decades, instead of starting to prepare for "adding fuel to extend his life", the old man has already made connections and purchased the giant wood from Yuzhang County in Hongzhou, Dali, and prepared the coffin.

Now Zhang Qiong is quite proud of this deal, saying that he is too discerning and quick enough. If it were a few years later and the logging institute was set up in Dali, let alone an old-fashioned golden elixir monk like him, you would be the superior. The monks of the Five Realms can no longer afford to buy a piece of wood from Yuzhang County.

Cheng Cheng, who looks like a boy, is actually a young Earth Immortal, and he has reached the bottleneck of the golden elixir and touched the threshold of the Nascent Soul Realm. It is said that he has begun preparations for retreat and opened up a new dojo cave, the Golden Que Sect. The treasury has spent a lot of money on this, and there are even candidates for the guardianship, but it is not Zhang Qiong, but a Jade Pu Realm Patriarch of the Shen Gao Sect.

Once the dust of the battle at Hehuan Mountain is settled and the crowning ceremony of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Qingxing Kingdom is over, Cheng Qian will go into seclusion at the blessed land of Qingtan in Shengaozong.

The monks on the mountain, Nascent Soul, and Ascension, these two realms of monks are ridiculed as thousand-year kings and eighty-thousand-year turtles. They often give people a lifeless impression, and they become more and more old every year.

In addition to the three realms, Cave Mansion, Golden Core and Jade Pure Realm, as long as they are not hopeless like Zhang Qiong, they will appear to be the most sharp-edged and energetic when they first enter the realm.

Because monks in these three realms will want to work hard and reach a higher level.

Therefore, Zhang Qiong, Cheng Qian, and Zhao Fuyang, who are both Jindan monks, will have completely different mentality of cultivating Taoism.

Zhang Qiong suddenly laughed and said: "Just to be careful, I'll make another prediction when things come to a close. Just think of it as a temporary fix."

The old man took out a few tortoise shells from his sleeves, which were the Yuanjiang Nine Ribs that the Aquarius Continent fortune teller dreamed of.

At this moment, Cheng Qian said: "Qi Song and the others are here."

Zhang Qiong had no choice but to put away the tortoise shell, and there were too many taboos on the matter of divination.

Soon, five people climbed up the mountain. There was only one unfamiliar face, a dark-skinned girl. She carried an oil-paper umbrella and a cotton parcel across her body.

Cheng Qian and Zhang Qiao looked at each other, and it was obvious that the two golden elixir immortals had noticed the subtle changes in Lu Mo.

On the contrary, as the master, Qi Song, because he is a pure martial artist, has not yet discovered the transformation of this disciple who has not yet "made his fortune".

Qi Song helped the girl introduce the identities of both parties. The head of the Jinque faction, Cheng, the head of the Zhang family in Tiancao County, and the sword fairy Zhang Caiqin. Fengle Town, Hehuan Mountain, Ni Qing, a Qi practitioner.

Ni Qing didn't have the idea of ​​looking up at the mountains to Qi Song who was traveling with him, even though he was a martial arts master in the Golden Body realm.

But when she was only a short distance away, facing a real protector of the Qingxing Kingdom, the old head of the Zhang family in Tiancao County, Ni Qing could not help but be nervous, and tightly grasped the string of the cotton satchel with both hands.

The girl said in a trembling voice: "Two old gods, my name is Ni Qing, and my Taoist name is Qingni."

In the mixed Hehuan Mountains, especially in Fengle Town at the foot of the mountain, the names of Cheng Qian and Zhang Xiao are known to everyone.

The young swordsman Zhang Yujiao has an expressionless face.

Jin Lu had a sullen face, trying not to laugh out loud.

Serious monks who have masters and genealogies are generally only qualified to have a Taoist title if they reach the cave realm. You are a qi practitioner who has just gone up the mountain to practice. Now you are only at the first level. If you add a superfluous name, Qingni, doesn't it mean that you are admitting that you are a wild cultivator in the mountains?

Cheng Qian remained silent, and just used the method of looking at Qi and physical appearance on the mountain to look at the girl. She had acceptable qualifications, but she was a bit older and had lost the best opportunity to practice superior Taoism.

Zhang Qiong nodded and said with a smile: "Young Daoist Qingni, do you have any relatives or friends in that town?"

If so, let Zhang Caiqin and Zhang Yujiao go back to Fengle Town to prevent anyone from being affected by the siege of Hehuan Mountain by various forces tomorrow morning.

Ni Qing answered honestly: "Yes, but they can take care of themselves and have their own plans."

Zhang Qiong said with a smile: "To be honest, there will be a storm in Fengle Town soon, and the commotion will be quite big. If the gods fight on the mountain, everyone may not be able to protect themselves."

Ni Qing said: "Sister Liu and Uncle Liu have their own things to do."

After spending so many years together day and night, the girl knows very well what kind of temper Zhou Qiu and Liu Tie have.

The old man nodded and said, "Young Taoist Qingni, what you said is right. We all are the same."

Cheng Qian glanced at the girl with a determined look. The young Taoist master shook his head slightly. After all, he was playing the piano to a cow, and the spring breeze could not penetrate the ears of a donkey.

Holding his breath and concentrating, he pinched the Ziwu Jue on his chest, keeping in mind the meaning of negative yin and embracing yang.

Ancient earthly immortals and ancient real people all achieved immortality by eating Qi.

Although a Qi practitioner is not as good as a martial artist who can swim against the current while practicing martial arts, he still pays attention to the fact that every drop of water penetrates the stone.

The girl is simple-minded. At this moment, she just thinks to herself that compared with the two liars before, the two seniors on the mountain in front of her are really gods. They are real gods.

Zhang Xiao asked in his heart: "Cheng Qian, you are not a narrow-minded person. Why are you so displeased with Zhao Fuyang alone? It even seems that you still have some...hate for him?"

It would be wrong to say that it was because of Zhao Fuyang's spiritual background, because Qingjing Peak and Chuiqing Peak of the Jinque Sect both had Qi practitioners of similar caliber, and Cheng Qian did not reject this.

If it was just because of Zhao Fuyang's relationship with Jinxian'an, Cheng Qian was worried that he would become a Nascent Soul and then run back to the Jinque Sect to compete with him for the position of the leader of the sect. I'm afraid he would be looking down on Cheng Qian even more. The ambition of the road is gone.

At that time, Zhao Fuyang was expelled from the Jinque Sect, removed from the genealogy, and became a wild cultivator. Later, Zhao Fuyang secretly became a Taoist couple with the fox demon on the bank of the big river. Cheng Qian saw it, but he always There is nothing to argue with Zhao Fuyang, a rebellious person. This is just that the thunder does not compete with the frogs and earthworms. But what made Cheng Qian murderous was not that Zhao Fuyang had any hope of breaking through the golden elixir realm bottleneck and becoming a Nascent Soul, but that the mountain python's method of enlightenment was too filthy, especially when it involved Jin Que. For Cheng Qian, who regarded himself as a Taoist priest of the Jinque Sect when he first came to the mountain to practice Taoism, it was against orthodoxy and treason.

Cheng Qian was silent for a moment and answered from the bottom of his heart, "In the Shangshan ancestral hall, Zhao Fuyang hung three portraits of the ancestors. I heard that he also tried to hang a portrait of the white jade headmaster Jinglu."

In the final analysis, whether it is Chuqingfeng or Jinxian'an, according to the strict sense of Taoism, they are all "downhill" branches of the Nanhua City lineage of Baiyujing, but they are both among the "unpopular". After all, the Jinque sect was The founder of Taoism, she was an abandoned disciple who was expelled from the Taoist temple by Cao Tianjun of Lingfei Temple.

Zhang Qiao asked doubtfully: "Is it just this kind of thing?"

Cheng Qian sneered: "'Just'?"

Zhang Qiong thought for a while, nodded and said: "That's right, your Taoist sect's inheritance is different from our Yamashita family."

Yes, yes, there is a hidden saying with no evidence. Cheng Qian's greatest vision in his life is to become an immortal and finally see Master Bai Yujinglu come to his true form.

"My uncle did not follow the rules of the mountain sect. He once secretly passed on a robe to Zhao Fuyang. The robe followed the etiquette of the Taoist priests taught by Lingfei Temple. In addition, Zhao Fuyang was so bold that he dared to secretly create an extremely arrogant Taoist crown, hoping that one day , wearing this robe and a lotus crown on his head, swaggering through the city."

In an instant, Cheng Qian's eyes were sharp and murderous, and he said in a deep voice, "Anyone who does not have this way but obeys this will be punished by death!"

————

A flower hall in Fenwan Mansion.

Previously, the eldest lady of Hehuan Mountain and the youngest fourth lady, Zhao Yan, accompanied their mother, Yu Chunzhi, the palace official, to comfort the owners of Baihua Lake who had their old nest destroyed.

Yu Chunzhi seemed to be frowning, but in fact he was gloating in his heart. Looking at the three members of the Summer Moon Mansion who were mourning for their heirs, all the good things he said could not make them feel any better. Indeed, a water mansion is gone, so who can leave it alone? The heart of the city will be lost.

But we couldn't just let them leave Fenwan Mansion and rush back to Baihua Lake. Yu Chunzhi said: "Zhang Hujun, you and I are actually in-laws, it's just a formality. Now that something terrible has happened in Shuyue Mansion, We in Hehuan Mountain cannot ignore disasters, emotions and reasons. However, Shuifu is far away from here and the mountains and rivers are far away. You can't change the situation now if you rush back. Why don't we settle this marriage tonight, and then Fuyang and I will help you Go to Baihua Lake, fight with that weird stone turtle, and the court of Miyun Kingdom, and ask for justice, otherwise how can Hehuan Mountain help you? If you have a name that is not justifiable, but you have no name, isn't it?"

Zhang Xiangdao, who was wearing a crown facing the sky and a black dragon robe, just twirled his beard and said nothing. He was really anxious and had troubles to express.

Wei Chan thought about it for a moment, nodded, and persuaded her husband that the matter was over, and he should not mess up his position, as Yu Fuzun said.

Only their youngest son has the broadest heart, and he is still leisurely at this moment. He looks at the beauty for a few times, and then glances at her two daughters, thinking that if he can sleep with them, he will be considered a real lover. The beauty is not shallow.

In fact, Yu Chunzhi also looked down upon these Shuyue Mansion Taoist couple. Just like Zhao Fuyang's harsh words before, Zhang Xiangdao and his half-way concubine Wei Chan, an old turtle who was lucky enough to get elixirs, With a rotten Taoist heart, an old clam spirit in the Longmen realm is doomed to have no hope of forming an elixir in this life. It is precisely because of this that Zhao Fuyang chose this "in-law". Once he came to Baihua Lake and Shuyue Mansion to steal the long-standing Dragon King Temple, he was not able to obtain the canonization of the Miyun Kingdom. The Shuifu Temple is causing trouble and committing many evil deeds. It is unpopular among the people in the Miyun Kingdom. If Zhang Xiangdao had not been a golden elixir, and the Shuifu was opened up with a favorable geographical location, the monks would not be able to arrest it. Otherwise, the Miyun Kingdom would have wanted to take advantage of their Shuifu. .

Furthermore, husband Zhao Fuyang's mountain refining is like the immortal's elixir refining, which requires the adjustment of yin and yang, including dragon, tiger, water and fire. Zhang Xiangdao, his Taoist companion, Old Clam Spirit, and Zhang Hanquan, whose Taoist name is "Dragon Gill", are all aquatic spirits who practice water magic. In addition, a group of water soldiers and crab generals who have been placed elsewhere make up for it. this link. The most important thing is that the Shuyue Mansion and the rest of the guests in the house have one thing in common, that is, they all die in vain. Zhao Fuyang has no worries about killing them. It is the Confucian Academy. , even if any gentleman wants to make a fuss out of a molehill, I'm afraid it will be difficult. Why, Hehuan Mountain kills demons and protects the law for you, is it wrong?

Maybe it was an act of raising hopes that was praised by the genealogy monks on the mountain. As for how the wild cultivators will view Zhao Fuyang and Yu Chunzhi in the future, and whether they dare to approach them or not, does it matter?

Yu Chunzhi deliberately did not see the lewd gaze of Hanquan, took a sip of wine, and said with a charming smile: "I usually talk to Fuyang about Hanquan, and I always say that he is such a good son-in-law, with good Taoist qualifications, good talent, and good looks. Even the young swordsman Zhang Yujiao from Cao County that day, the Taoist sects from Jinxian'an and Chuiqing Peak didn't have such a decent appearance as Hanquan."

Zhang Xiangdao forced out a smile and picked up the wine glass, "Thank you so much, Mr. Yu."

Just by looking at his appearance, it was certain that he was the biological son of Zhang Xiangdao and Wei Chan. The short and muscular young man also raised his glass and said with a grin: "Son-in-law thanks my mother-in-law!"

Compared to her mother, Zhao Yan was a bit thin-skinned, so she had to keep her face straight so as not to laugh out loud.

In the banquet hall next door, the Goddess of Mount Zhuiyuan Temple, who had long been renamed Gonghua, looked drunk. She was so drunk that she was sitting at the table, resting on her forehead.

In fact, she had silently used her magical power to disperse the alcohol, but she deliberately kept the alcohol smell from her body lingering on her clothes for a long time.

Several men sitting aside looked at her side, looking at the bulging and spectacular scenery, and they all wanted to be turned into that table, and of course some wanted to be turned into chairs.

The soldiers and horses of Qingxing Kingdom have begun to advance in an orderly manner towards Hehuan Mountain.

Since it was a military expedition in person, the main tent of the Chinese army was heavily guarded. The Lord of the Five Mountains and several water gods appeared in golden bodies to protect the chariots.

All the gods under their jurisdiction are responsible for clearing the way for the vanguard cavalry. In the Hehuan Mountain area, the official road has been in disrepair for many years, overgrown with weeds, and has long been potholed and difficult to navigate.

In a carriage, the carriage is extremely spacious and can be placed with a table. The old emperor of the Qingxing Kingdom, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, is looking through a mountain of memorials. On the table, there is a celadon chilong incense burner with purple smoke. Niao Niao, the spices burned are from the secret recipe of Jinque Sect and can soothe the mind.

The Emperor of Qingxing Kingdom has been an emperor known for his diligence since he sat on the Dragon Throne.

Sitting opposite is a young man with a handsome face. It is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who is about to hold the coronation ceremony. Because he is not the eldest son, there were constant criticisms in the government and the public at the end of last year and this spring. His Majesty the Emperor did not deliberately conceal this matter. , and handed over many secret documents from local places directly to him. If he hadn't seen those facts, the prince would have really thought that he was the highly anticipated candidate for the crown prince. At least the old masters with bachelor's titles in his early years in the dormitory, as well as the assistant officials in Zuochunfang of the East Palace, are all. so express or implied.

For this reason, he asked his father a question at that time, why they deceived him so much.

Because the prince considers himself to be a person who cannot hear harsh words, he still understands this simple truth.

His Majesty the Emperor gave a strange answer that puzzled the Crown Prince. They were afraid that you would silently bear grudges and settle old scores again after you ascend the throne.

He also said that when you figure it out, you can barely inherit the throne.

The old emperor threw a memorandum from Zuo Shuzi to the young prince and said, "Take a look."

The prince took the book, browsed through the contents quickly, and frowned slightly. He hoped that the imperial court would ban "expatriates" from serving as all kinds of noble and beautiful officials, including "Fifju Lang", and must appoint the sons of ministers and literary scholars... This is different from the prince. This is completely contrary to his consistent thinking. Now that the imperial court is in dire straits, it is time to vigorously promote those officials with real talents and knowledge and idle scholars from low backgrounds.

Seeing that the prince was hesitant to speak, the old emperor said: "Pick up the pen and make a move. I tell you to write it."

The prince quickly picked up his pen and dipped it in ink, and the old emperor said slowly: "It is appropriate to comply with the report. From now on, the officials are not allowed to pay more attention to the outsiders."

The old emperor said: "If you are not tired yet, just read these excerpts."

The young prince selected a few memorials that were particularly redundant.

The central countries of Aquarius Continent have always had a common official rule. Official documents such as memorials and letters from ministers in the court are all written on white paper. If the content is large and the text is dense, the emperor may not be able to read it. , the officials followed the old style and used yellow paper strips to extract key points and attached them to the main text. They should not exceed a hundred words at most and should be within thirty characters, so that it would be convenient for His Majesty the Emperor to quickly browse and review, and save time.

One of the excerpts, written by a doctor from the Ministry of Works, requested the imperial court to upgrade the Ministry of Works, which was now heavily involved in affairs, to "Qianxing", which would be placed after the Ministry of Rites and Officials and before the Ministry of Bing, Punishment and Household Affairs. The Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Household Affairs, according to the old imperial system, have always belonged to the unshakable "back line" yamen. In short, if a doctor in the back line department is transferred to the front line department, it is actually a real promotion.

There were huge objections from the Ministry of War, and they did not agree with this dispatch of troops and the voluntary abandonment of the Hehuan Mountain boundary.

Among them, the Minister of the Ministry of War wrote a sentence on the fold, "If you get an inch, you will be a king's inch, and if you get a ruler, it will be a king's ruler."

"As the saying goes, there are a thousand people in a family, but one person is in charge. You must understand this truth early on, as well as the difficulty and ease involved."

The emperor coughed a few times, raised the back of his hand to his mouth, and remained silent for a long time. When his breathing stabilized, he picked up the case and folded it, raised his head and said: "I hope that one day in the future, in your hands, the world will be pure and pure, and the talents will be as good as they come. "

Splashing Ink Peak.

Zhou Qiu, Liu Tie and the others quietly left Fengle Town and came here to wait for news.

She looked at the few stones on the ground, and the more she looked at them, the more unusual she felt. The masters on the mountain had the magical power to create mountains from a handful of soil, and also had the ability to throw stones to form formations.

Someone shrunk into the mountains and rivers and appeared on the top of the mountain out of thin air.

Zhou Qiu and his group breathed a sigh of relief. It was Mr. Chen who had removed the cover-up.

Chen Ping'an, who came here from a very far away place, didn't explain anything. He just smiled and said, "We meet again."

Chen Ping'an didn't hide it from Lu Chen. He did have two avatars, serving as the two hidden stars of the Big Dipper array. They were responsible for secretly supporting the situation. Even if they encountered the kind of life-and-death disaster where they met on a narrow road and had to decide who would win, rescue would be the best. However, if a certain clone has an accident, these two talismans can also take advantage of the situation to fill the gap.

For these two avatars, Chen Pingan has used his original appearance, but the attire is different. The Chen Pingan who is on the top of the mountain at this moment is worthy of being said to be an immortal. He wears a golden crown and a green gauze robe. Holding a Ganoderma lucidum in hand, stepping on a pair of sneaking shoes.

It's not that "Chen Pingan" deliberately showed off his family wealth, but that as long as he deliberately hides, he can conceal his body shape and energy, making it difficult for Yuanying monks to find their traces.

Then when you encounter a strong enemy, you can't beat it and you can't run fast.

The "young hermit official" who had seen the young appearance before was awkward after all. Although there were many qi practitioners with good looks on the mountain, far away, the old master of Fengxue Temple was a master of Taoism who could rejuvenate his youth. , nearby, there is also the Protector of the Country of Qingxing Kingdom. It was Mr. Chen in front of them who Zhou Qiu and Liu Tie felt more accustomed to.

Chen Pingan asked: "Miss Zhou, Liu Biaochang, what do you think of Zhao Fuyang's conduct?"

Although Liu Tie wondered why the young hermit official asked this question, he didn't think much about it. He just answered from his heart: "This Hehuan Mountain hides dirt and is a dirty place. If there were no two mountains, Chuiyuan and Wuteng, For the sake of Hehuan, this place with a radius of thousands of miles cannot gather so many demons and demons and obscene gods. Zhao Fuyang must be the culprit. But... I don't deny that he is a powerful character. I only talk about Gu Feng's head. Now it has landed, Zhao Fuyang had Yu Youyi left in the courtyard of the town before, and he also promised that Li Zheng of Wuteng Mountain Temple would not live long. "

Chen Ping'an smiled, noncommittal, but shifted his gaze to Zhou Qiu, who had been silent, waiting for her answer.

Zhou Qiu carefully considered it and said slowly: "It's not a good person, but it can't be said that Zhao Fuyang is that kind of extremely evil person."

Chen Pingan asked with a smile: "What Miss Zhou means is that Zhao Fuyang is not good enough for everyone to kill him?"

Zhou Qiu didn't know how to answer for a while.

Chen Ping'an continued: "If I say that tonight at Hehuan Mountain, we will hold a banquet to entertain all kinds of cave immortals, ghosts and ghosts. Zhao Fuyang intends to catch all the guests in one go before the Liu family of Qingxing Kingdom and the Zhang family of Tiancao County are encircled and suppressed. ?”

Zhou Qiu, Liu Tie, and a group of scouts all looked at each other in confusion.

Evil people will be punished by evil people? Treat others with their own treatment?

Yamazawa Yexiu can really do anything.

Chen Ping'an asked again: "If we put it another way, assuming that the result is the same and Zhao Fuyang is replaced by Cheng Qian, what do you think?"

Zhou Qiu shook his head, and Liu Tie also scratched his head.

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "Everyone performs his or her duties. I'm just asking casually. You don't have to take it seriously."

Liu Tie nodded, deeply convinced.

He, a vulgar warrior, couldn't think of a reason for all these twists and turns, so he didn't waste his time.

Chen Pingan is a famous hidden official in the world. It is just right for you to consider these things.

Everyone performs his or her duties, this statement is very accurate. After all, he is a scholar and his words are unambiguous.

Zhou Qiu is a little frustrated, are you a fool?

As a result, Liu Tie received an elbow from her.

Chen Pingan took out a pile of talismans and said, "I have some talismans here, which are considered as side branches of the magical talismans on the mountain. They can help you walk in the daytime, keep your wits intact, and return to your hometown of Dali safely. You go to Dali Gyeonggi. The land requires three, just in case, so I drew some more talismans, five for each person, just to be sure."

Zhou Qiu was careful and roughly calculated the distance, "Mr. Chen, we only need to go to Dadu and it will be very safe, so we don't need to hand five cards, at most two will be enough."

As long as they reached the border of Dali, there would be various gods of mountains and rivers as well as civil, military, and city god temple officials and minor officials to welcome them back home.

Now that their wish has been fulfilled here, the mountain god Li Zhu and the monster monk Gu Feng have both been consecrated. In fact, as long as there are talismans that can maintain their true spirits, they will not become unconscious evil spirits or be killed by the strong wind between heaven and earth. After blowing away the remaining souls, they can reveal their identities along the way. In the territories of the countries south of the central part of Aquarius Continent, who else dares to stop them from crossing the border and heading north?

Chen Pingan shook his head and said with a smile: "Listen to me, don't be polite. You have to leave room for everything, and don't think too closely. Fu Lu has some spare time, so you don't have to rush on your way back home. Slow down and take a closer look at the Taiping scenery along the way."

This talisman is called the True Body Talisman of the Day and Night Wandering God. It is of high quality and is recorded on the last few pages of the "Authentic Book of Alchemy". It has long been lost in the world. It is both a big talisman and an "old" talisman.

Chen Ping'an was the first to see this talisman in kind. It was obtained from Li Baozhen's hand. It is made of golden talisman paper. There are alchemy scripts painted on both sides of the talisman. A circle is drawn in the center of the talisman. The front and back are like two wheels of the sun and the moon, each with a black armor and a white armor. God general.

The essence of this talisman lies in the word "true body". According to Li Xisheng's annotation, it can be connected with the true form of the day and night gods.

The effect is similar to the so-called "direct access to heaven" in officialdom. The secret memorials of local officials can be directly placed on the emperor's desk.

The ordinary Taoist talisman sect's methods of inviting gods and entreating gods will never have such miraculous effects no matter how high your talisman is.

Zhou Qiu and Liu Tie took the pile of talismans and distributed them.

Zhou Qiu seemed to have temporarily put down his identity as a monk accompanying the army, and he congratulated the young hermit official with a blessing.

Those who had studied in the village school or the government academy for a few days did not clasp their fists to say goodbye. Instead, they bowed to that person, but after standing up, they laughed to themselves, which was still awkward.

We are in a foreign land, on the top of a mountain, people and ghosts say goodbye to each other.

After the young hidden official quietly walked away, Liu Tie smiled and teased: "Zhou Qiu, what about Mr. Chen? Isn't it better to hear a hundred times than to see it? You don't have it? Huh?"

"I've never liked anyone in my life."

The female ghost shook her head and finally smiled brightly, "Then I'll make up for it in my next life."

Above the sea of ​​clouds, there is a strange-shaped ferry, as fast as thunder, like a hollowed-out wooden pile.

The owner is none other than a top-level female crowned woman with the Taoist name "Dongting", the current master of Lingfei Palace, and the founder of Xiangjun.

Of course, she followed her master's master's decree and left Jinxian Temple with Wen Qingchen.

On the Jinque sect's side, there is only the master of Qingjing Peak and the golden elixir monk with an old woman's appearance, Xing Zi.

One Jade Pu, two Golden Pills, took this speeding Xiancha and rushed to Hehuan Mountain.

Xiang Jun did not tell them what they were doing on their trip or who they were seeing.

She closed her eyes and rested her mind, leaving the steering of the ferry to her nephew.

Xing Zi did not dare to disturb Patriarch Xiangjun's modest Qi refining, and asked Wen Chengcheng from the bottom of his heart, "Shangxian Wen, the speed of this Xiancha's wind control is probably not inferior to Liuxia's boat, right?"

It was indeed an eye-opener for the old woman. The speed of riding the wind was faster than any ferry. It was indeed a fast ride on the fairy chariot after hearing the news.

Hearing this overly important honorific, even a very thick-skinned person like Wen Chengzhen would burst into laughter.

On the twelfth floor of the five cities of Baiyujing in Qingmingtianxia, ​​Shangxian is the exclusive title of the Taoist Heavenly Lord.

Thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, traveling back and forth like a single step, riding on white clouds to the imperial hometown, visiting the Jade Emperor City three times a day.

"It's far worse than the legendary Liuxia Boat."

He shook his head and said: "But my Patriarch Cao has a Guan Yue Cha given by Master Lu, which even Liu Xia Zhou cannot catch up with."

The old woman was speechless immediately.

Wen said carefully: "Master Xingfeng, just call me by my Taoist name, 'Tu Geng'."

The old woman was speechless, thinking that she had heard wrongly.

Wen smiled carefully and said, "You heard me right, it's the ridge that fellow Taoist Xing thought he was."

This Taoist title was chosen by Wen Qingcheng himself. His master could not resist him and had no choice but to agree. Originally, the Taoist title that Master Lao wanted to bestow upon this beloved disciple was "Yun Mao."

The old woman was silent again, what a weirdo she was.

He is indeed a Taoist genius who came from the Shangzong Lingfei Palace.

After all, Xing Zi is a golden elixir cultivator. Although he is not a pure martial artist, he can still see the aura of a master in Wen Qingqing's body, with his true energy flowing in and out of his heart, and his fist intention traveling throughout his body.

Probably this is the warrior's method of tempering his body.

Wen asked carefully: "Have you, fellow Taoist Xing, ever seen that Zheng Qian with your own eyes?"

The old woman said with a blushing face: "I have never been to Dali Capital."

Wen nodded carefully and didn't take it seriously. He had never been to Luojing's mansion and Dadu battlefield.

Xing Zi asked cautiously: "In addition to attaining enlightenment and ascension, is Wen Shangxian also determined to reach the top of martial arts?"

Wen grinned carefully and said: "There is a cloud in the boxing spectrum, the spirit moves the flesh and the flesh flies, and the whole body is a fist. And the word 'flesh flies' happens to have a layer of meaning of cultivating immortals and ascending. It can be seen that learning boxing and cultivating Taoism are indistinguishable. House's."

This Taoist genius recognized by the continent was just a little short of being among the ten young candidates in Aquarius Continent. Wen carefully punched the sea of ​​clouds on the side of Xiancha and said with a smile: "It's not difficult to learn boxing and practice martial arts." , Conquer the world horizontally and vertically."

Xiang Jun opened his eyes and scolded: "You are so shameless!"

Wen carefully showed no fear. It seemed that in Lingfei Palace, he had long been a lazy Taoist priest. After receiving a reprimand from the palace master, the young man not only did not flinch, but instead chuckled and said: "I can't beat that guy for the time being anyway." A few great masters, don’t you allow me to speak well of my punches?”

Xiang Jun said seriously: "Since ancient times, there have been countless people who have learned Taoism, and those who have achieved Taoism are rare. This is the mantra of my family, and it is also the prophecy of martial arts. How can you be like you? If it goes on for a long time, it will only be a waste of quality. One day it will happen. When it comes to martial arts masters like Yu Hong and Zhou Haijing, you will suffer a lot."

The young man lamented. Of course he did not dare to talk back to the palace lord in person, but he just cursed.

Patriarch Xiangjun and his master have similar attitudes. It is a common saying. You do not agree with it. If you can meet the patriarch one day, I am afraid you will know that you are wrong.

But for some reason, Wen carefully had an intuition, or it might be an illusion, as if the founder of Xiangjun was unsteady and very nervous after he came down from the mountain?

Who did she meet and what happened in Aquarius Continent that could make her so nervous?

You must know that this Palace Master, who is a monk in the upper five realms, is also the Taoist priest who is the disciple and grandson of Headmaster Lu of Nanhua City!

At the top of Pomo Peak, after Zhou Qiu and the others traveled north, Chen Pingan reappeared, but there was another Lu Chen beside him.

Lu Chen squatted on the ground, looked at the stones, raised his head and asked, "What do you think?"

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "The people of heaven and earth, mountains and rivers, have witnessed and preserved their opinions, and I cannot allow my generation to comment on them."
