Dao Fruit

A few months ago, Qiu Yan returned to Yuanning from Qingchang and was invited by the Zhang family. He met Ji Zheng at the house. The Zhang family master said that this person was a member of the Xingtan family. He didn't have any doubts. He must have seen something. Keepsake.

Ji Zheng said that he was entrusted by someone, and gave Qiu Yan an invitation with Shen Yun written on it, and then left calmly without a trace. He did not expect to meet him again in this white jade building.

"If you think about it, the client should be in Dongdu."

but……

"Didn't Qi Bai say that it was his lady's banquet? Why did he meet Ji Zheng instead?"

With doubts, Qiu Yan looked over, and Na Ji smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said, "Young master, I'm here. I wonder if there will be any gains along the way?"

Qiu Yan returned the greeting and said: "The harvest is not small. Sir, he advised me to travel among the people. It is indeed a good advice."

Ji Zheng nodded: "That's good, please come in and talk."

"That's fine!" Qiu Yan thought for a moment, nodded in agreement, and stepped inside.

Although he had doubts, he knew that in this white jade building, there would not be any table-turning fights or ambush of knife and axemen. Otherwise, the restaurant would be destroying itself to recruit prostitutes. To have such a big industry in Dongdu, the power behind it must be I'm not a kid, and I won't tolerate anyone causing trouble in the store.

On the other side, Qi Bai led Hu Qi and Dai Guo to other rooms.

Once the three people left, only Qiu Yan, Ji Zheng and a few maids and servants were left in the room.

These maids and servants were all specially trained by Bai Yulou. Their ability to know the smallest details and observe people's emotions was extraordinary. They were all silent at this moment.

The room is spacious and bright, with leaky windows and mahogany carvings. Looking through the window, you can see half of the outer city. You can see that the buildings are connected continuously, and the streets and alleys are filled with people. The flowers are in full bloom.

As Qiu Yan was watching, a soft voice came from the side——

"The Eastern Capital is prosperous and extraordinary."

"Huh?" Qiu Yan was startled when he heard the sound and turned to look.

All the servants and maids in the room were swept away, and Ji Zheng was nowhere to be seen. Instead, there was a woman wearing Confucian clothes!

Although this woman is dressed as a Confucian scholar, her waist is slender, her breasts are high, and her face is breakable without makeup. But her skin is as white as snow, her eyes are clear in black and white, her eyebrows are curved, and she has a beautiful nose and lips. It is obvious at a glance that she is a woman disguised as a man, and there is no intention to hide it at all.

The most important thing is that this woman's clothes are the same as Ji Zheng's, but she is slightly shorter. But compared to ordinary women, she is still much taller.

Under Qiu Yan's shocked gaze, she walked forward with steady steps. When he arrived at the window, he slowly said: "When General Zhu was defeated, he wanted to burn the eastern capital to the ground. His Prime Minister Feng Dao came forward to advise. Only then could he save it. Later, the prairie cavalry knocked on the pass and came to the city. First, the hermit Guo Ying came out of the city alone to dissuade him. , was forced by Hu Khan to become an official, and died calmly. Later, Zhou Xigong rode through the pass alone, attracted Taizu's troops, and finally rescued the siege. "

Having said this, she turned to look at Qiu Yan and smiled faintly: "The world only thinks that Dongdu is lucky and prosperous, but they don't know how many twists and turns there are behind this bloodless victory."

General Zhu Da was a warlord who separatized Heluo when the previous dynasty collapsed. He was also from an aristocratic family. In order to confront Taizu Da Rui, he did not hesitate to lure Hu soldiers into the pass. After his defeat, he returned to the city and committed suicide. Feng Dao was his then leader. Mastermind.

Qiu Yan had read about these things in history books, but now when he looked at the scene outside the window and listened to the beautiful woman beside him, he could not help but feel emotional.

"Girl, I think it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. When I get here, I know that the centuries-old historian snaps his fingers and the prosperous general changes his mind." After saying this, he looked directly at the other party, "But I don't know what the girl's plan is for inviting Qiu here. ? Why disguise yourself?”

Qiu Yan could naturally tell that Ji Zheng was disguised by this woman.

"A century-old historian snaps his fingers, and a prosperous general changes his mind? This statement has a special flavor..."

When the woman saw that Qiu Yan got straight to the point, she stopped talking around and said, "Young lady is holding a banquet here, firstly to welcome the young master and cleanse him from the dust, and secondly, to thank the young master for his kindness in rescuing each other. There were many concealments before, but there is something Please forgive me for the difficulty.”

"The grace of salvation?"

Qiu Yan frowned when he heard this. In his memory, he had no impression of the woman in front of him. Why did the other party say that he had saved her?

However, looking at the dress of the person in front of him, Qiu Yan couldn't help but think of the "Pianpianjiaozi" he met in Xuankou Town, and couldn't help but wonder: "The closer we are to Dongdu, the more likely we are to encounter women disguised as men. , could it be a trend?”

In Xuankou Town at that time, Qiu Yan recognized the "gongzi"'s daughter at the first sight, but it had nothing to do with him, so of course there was no need to ask.

At this time, the woman opposite smiled slightly: "Young master, I don't remember. It's no wonder, because you and I didn't meet each other at that time."

"Didn't meet?" Qiu Yan became more and more confused as he listened. His three souls merged in half a step, and now he has established his Taoist heart. He is only one step away from condensing his soul. Looking through the memories in his heart is like flipping through a book, no matter how big or small. They can all appear clearly, but compared to the face of the woman in front of him, none of the memories can match it.

The woman did not continue to play riddles. Seeing that Qiu Yan could not remember, a strange color flashed in her eyes, and she said directly: "Master, do you still remember Tang Yi of the Spiritual Dao?"

"Tang Yi?" Upon hearing this name, Qiu Yan's expression changed and his eyes became sharp. Suddenly, the atmosphere in the whole room suddenly changed, as if a storm was coming.

The grudge between him and Shanling Dao cannot be resolved simply. Even if Qiu Yan wanted to resolve it, he had no choice. After the battle with Tang Lai, he was even more careful and did not leave any cause and effect. Unexpectedly, Here, he was called out by an unknown woman.

The woman saw this, fearing that she would make things worse, and hurriedly said: "Young Master, please don't misunderstand. Tang Yi and I have no friendship. On the contrary, he and I are enemies. He once used a magic weapon to take my soul, and almost broke my soul. Thanks to you entering the painting and breaking the illusion, I was able to escape and return to my body."

"Oh? You mean, your soul was taken by the Sealing Spirit Picture?" Qiu Yan was slightly stunned, and his fierce momentum was slightly reduced. He finally had some clues in his mind.

The woman nodded, then took a breath, trembled all over, and the living soul jumped out from the sky!

Seeing this scene, Qiu Yan's pupils shrank. He didn't expect that the woman in front of him was actually a cultivator!

I saw that the living soul was flowing on the surface of the scriptures, and it was not afraid of the sun. It turned in the air and emitted waves, and there were fragments of memory in it. It was a smoky space, with two consciousnesses and soul shadows floating in it. They were suppressed in it, and even their thoughts were difficult to turn.

Time passed, suddenly!

The whole space suddenly shook, smoke floated, and eight more souls fell in, but not long after, a crack appeared in the space, and a Confucian scholar stepped in. It was Qiu Yan!

After Qiu Yan came in, he first glanced, pondered for a moment, then raised his hand and pointed, and wisps of green smoke came out of his fingertips, spreading out, covering the ten female souls, and separating the souls from the surrounding smoke.

The first two souls immediately regained some consciousness, and their thoughts flowed. The surrounding situation and cause and effect were taken into the soul, and finally, the ten souls turned into light and shadow, breaking through the air.

The memory stopped here.

Then. The soul in the air returned to the body again, and the woman panted twice, her face showing fatigue.

On the other side, Qiu Yan was slightly in deep thought. After understanding the cause and effect, he asked, "Are you one of the two souls that regained consciousness? This makes sense, but repaying a favor is the right thing to do, why do you have to use the name of the Ji family?"

More than two years ago, Tang Yi used a picture of 100 beauties to capture the soul of a woman, and the picture finally fell into Qiu Yan's hands. He relied on his heart to know the truth and wanted to eradicate the trouble, so he took advantage of the night to enter the picture. The memory just now was a fragment of it, which was enough to prove the woman's identity.

"I am one of the two souls. After Tang Yi took my soul, I suppressed it inside and could not think of anything. If it were not for you, the consequences would be disastrous. However, I am not an imposter, but a real member of the Ji family. My real name is Ji Zheng, and I am a descendant of the most holy teacher. I wrote the invitation to you on my own initiative."

"You wrote the invitation? You are indeed a descendant of a sage, and your words are full of charm. However, since you took the initiative, it seems that there will be twists and turns in the discussion of Taoism at the Xingtan Temple." Qiu Yan praised first, then shook his head and sighed. Since he was studying and happened to be at a grand event, he always had some thoughts, and he did not hide his thoughts.

As for why Ji Zheng, as a descendant of a sage, was taken by Tang Yi, Qiu Yan did not ask much, but he couldn't help but feel that Tang Yi was too bold and took people without distinguishing the importance of the matter, and he was suspected of being horny.

Ji Zheng shook his head and said, "Young Master, don't belittle yourself. Your knowledge is enough to discuss the Taoism in the Xingtan. Now that you have achieved literary mind, no matter which academy you enter, they will welcome you and let you join the literati. You must know that discussing the Taoism in the Xingtan and presenting the writings to the sages is not just a personal matter, but also involves the survival of the academy."

"Oh? There is such a thing," Qiu Yan became interested after hearing this, "I would like to hear the details."

Ji Zheng didn't say much, and with a flick of his sleeves, a slender painting box slipped out of his sleeves, placed it on the table, and opened the lid.

A fragrance was wafting.

Qiu Yan's face changed immediately, and he sensed a pure and vast spirit from the box!

"What is this?" He looked at it intently, and then he found that there was a roll of paper in the box, which was white and smooth, without any flaws!

"This thing is called Sage Paper. To discuss the Taoism in the Xingtan and enter the literati, there are three main things needed."

Ji Zheng took the roll of paper out of the box, raised his other hand, and stretched out three fingers.

"First, you need to enter the Hall of Sages."

"Second, you need Sage Paper."

"Third, writing can move sages!"

After each sentence, Ji Zheng retracted a finger, and finally clenched his fist, saying word by word: "These three are indispensable! Since I want to repay my gratitude, I should lend a helping hand to you!"

………………

At the same time, in a remote valley in the southern border of Jiannan Road.

Boom!

Suddenly, there was a burst of sound, and the ground shook immediately, rocks in the mountains rolled down one after another, and wild beasts in the forest were frightened and ran around.

Then, a long roar rose from the bottom of the valley, and a burly and majestic figure flew up quickly. It turned out to be the Taoist priest Feibao with a leopard head and round eyes!

He held a copper furnace, his upper body was bare, his muscles and bones were golden, as if he had copper skin and iron bones, and he was surrounded by red beads, crystal clear, like pearls.

"Good baby! Good baby! I didn't expect that you, Brother Lu, have such ability. With the help of this Earthly Primordial Pill, I am not afraid of even gods! Let's go!"

After he finished speaking, he was as fast as lightning, and in a moment he reached the horizon and disappeared. (To be continued, please search for Piaotian Literature, the novels are better and updated faster!
