Journey Through the Plane of the Lord God

In fact, at first, Lin Pingzhi expected that going to Beijing to take the exam would be like a knight-errant, traveling around the world with one person and one sword.

After all, in the past two years, Lin Pingzhi, who has improved his internal skills to a higher level, can already be regarded as a master in the Ming Dynasty world where immortal monks are rare and knights are everywhere, and he can more than protect himself.

It was a pity that Lin Pingzhi's mother, Mrs. Wang, immediately suppressed such thoughts as soon as he expressed them.

The reason is also very simple. Although Lin Pingzhi is under the age of 10, he is a serious civil servant after all, and the dignity he deserves is indispensable!

After arriving in the capital, thousands of candidates from all over China who were waiting to take the examination gathered together. Without proper dignity, how could they integrate into their circle?

Therefore, there were quite a few people who followed Lin Pingzhi to the capital of Peking. The total number of bookboys, servants, bodyguards and bodyguards exceeded fifty.

Among those carriages, except for the one Lin Pingzhi was riding in, all were specially prepared gifts and were of great value.

Of course, this team of dozens of people is definitely far inferior to the large caravans that ranged from hundreds to nearly a thousand in the official circles of this era, but just based on the more than 30 Lin Zhennan carefully selected,

With his temples bulging high, this elite bodyguard armed with a knife is not easy to mess with at first glance. He is already a force that is not weak at all.

In addition, this team was flying the famous Fuwei Escort Triangle Flag. Lin Pingzhi encountered almost no trouble during the journey of more than half a month after leaving Fuzhou City.

After the initial impulsive idea of ​​entering the world alone, Lin Pingzhi calmed down and quickly gave up the idea.

After all, compared with wandering alone in the rivers and lakes, sitting in a carriage every day, reading contemporary popular scriptures, sipping tea from mountain springs along the way, and acting like a gentleman who opens his mouth and puts out his hands with food, this is

It’s so fragrant!

But accidents always come so suddenly...

I still remember that day, the weather was sunny and the air was fresh in the morning.

Because there was plenty of time reserved to rush for the exam, and because his young master had to study papers in the carriage, Lin Pingzhi's motorcade was not moving very fast.

The coachman of the carriage was an old servant who had served the Lin family for many years. He pulled the rope slowly and controlled the pace of the horses, carefully avoiding mud pits along the official road to avoid violent vibrations in the carriage.

At that time, Lin Pingzhi was sitting in a carriage, studying the "Book of Changes" and comprehending the thoughts of ancient sages.

The magnificent and warm internal energy flowed slowly in his meridians. Although the speed was much slower than the cultivation of the Eight Meridians, Lin Pingzhi could maintain this state all day long, strengthening him all the time.

The power of.

The official road the convoy is walking on is not very big, and there are not many other people walking along the road, or it can be said to be very few. Especially the official road they are walking on now, it usually takes an hour or two before they encounter someone.

Team chariots and horses.

Both sides of the official road are full of sycamore trees. Except for the sound of falling leaves scattered after the branches occasionally collide, the entire official road seems exceptionally quiet.

However, a sudden shout of "Drive! Drive!" and the sound of "Pah! Pah!" whips waving came from the end of the official road.

Two apricot-red horses, whipped by two extremely handsome young knights, galloped towards Lin Pingzhi's team.

They looked nervous, carrying long swords on their backs, and hurriedly rushed past Lin Pingzhi's carriage.

The sudden appearance of the two people made the escorts guarding the convoy tense up, but after seeing them passing by quickly, the escorts relaxed their nervousness.

About half a quarter of an hour later, a group of fifteen or sixteen knights in brocade robes, with iron nameplates hanging on their waists, followed closely from the direction of the official road where the apricot-red horses came.

After seeing Lin Pingzhi's group of cars, the leading man in brocade raised his right hand and made a gesture, and the two dozen knights behind him split into half and continued to chase.

The other half, led by the strong man in rich robes, gathered around them in a tacit understanding.

"Brush!" "Brush!"

Seeing that the visitor was unkind, the bodyguards guarding several carriages immediately drew their sabers and formed a defensive formation.

The leader of the bodyguard escorting the convoy this time was a close confidant of Lin Zhennan. He had seen with his own eyes the head of the horse bodyguard where Duan Zhenxian, Lin Pingzhi's incarnation as the "Sun Chaser Sword", had shown his power. He stepped forward and shouted.

"Who is coming?"

"Why are you blocking the advance of my Fuwei Escort Agency!"

Although the number of those burly men in rich robes was smaller than that of the escorts from the Fuwei Escort Agency, they all looked confident.

When the leading man in brocade clothes saw the well-trained appearance of the escorts, his eyes narrowed and he took off his waist badge and held it up high.

"I am Li Yao, a member of Jinyiwei Baihu."

"Now, I order you to wait until all the carriages open their curtains!"

"I want to thoroughly investigate whether they are harboring criminals!"

Li Yao, a strong man in golden clothes, did not think that the group of bodyguards in front of him dared to refuse his order, but the actions of the elite bodyguards shocked him and made him speak with a hint of solemnity.

Jinyiwei!

And it’s Jinyiwei Baihu!

That's not a small official, the official rank of Baihu is the sixth rank!

The title of this brawny man in brocade surprised the head of the horse escort.

He led the horse forward a few steps and took a closer look at the waist badge held high by the strong man in robes, especially after confirming the strange dark patterns on the four corners of the waist badge. He quickly turned around with the horse and walked towards the carriage, preparing to

Report to the young master.

As one of the senior bodyguards of the Fuwei Escort Agency, he has actually taken over a few "businesses" under the official name. The waist badges taken out by the strong man in golden clothes in front of him are really the same as those of the Jin Yiwei guards he has come into contact with.

The production process is the same.

From the point of view of the horse escort leader, it was nothing to let these officials take a look. Although there were many large gifts in the carriage, their value was not worthy of a noble official from a hundred households, who would look down on him and others to snatch them away with a knife.

.

As for the really valuable small items, they were all carried closely by the young master and himself. It was better to do less than to do more. They were not afraid of slanting shadows.

Unfortunately, his idea soon came to nothing.

"Jinyiwei?"

Before the horse escort could reach the carriage where Lin Pingzhi was sitting, a young voice came directly from the carriage.

"If you are really a member of the Royal Guards, it would not be a bad idea to ask you to investigate."

"But as a criminal officer of hundreds of households in Dongchang, you pretended to be a member of Jinyiwei and wanted to investigate me. Please forgive me for not accepting this!"

Lin Pingzhi, wearing a square scarf on his head, holding a volume of "Book of Changes" in his hand, and wearing a Confucian scholar's robe, directly opened half the curtain of the carriage and walked out of the carriage unceremoniously.

The old servant next to him, pretending to be a coachman, directly handed Lin Pingzhi a long sword.

Lin Pingzhi took it unceremoniously, drew out his sword suddenly, and pointed the tip of the sword directly at Li Yao, the strong man in brocade clothes in front of him.

Seeing Lin Pingzhi's actions, all the escorts present were stunned.

But they are indeed Lin Zhennan, the head of the escort agency, carefully selected to guard Lin Pingzhi's confidants. Even when facing the famous Dongchang torture officer, they all drew out their long swords in unison when they saw their young master drawing a sword.

Knife, arms tense, ready to strike at any time.

Even the head of the horse escort, after being stunned for a moment, subconsciously pulled out his long sword and guarded Lin Pingzhi's side.

The atmosphere on the official street turned cold instantly, and the two parties were on the verge of a fight.

Such a violent reaction from Lin Ping and his group almost immediately made the leader, a strong man in gilded clothes, Li Yao, confused.

In recent years, with the decay of the Ming bureaucracy, the control over the grassroots has been declining, but after all, the Ming Dynasty is still there, and the feudal order is still there.

Li Yao has been a criminal officer in Dongchang for so many years, and he has never encountered such a disrespectful scholar.

However, Li Yao, a strong man in brocade clothes who was suspicious by nature, was still a little frightened by Lin Pingzhi at this time.

Although Lin Pingzhi is young, judging from his clothing, there is no doubt that the juren who came to Beijing to take the exam are not businessmen without status.

But a mere Juren would not be so bold as to dare to openly confront himself and others.

In addition, what really made Li Yao feel troublesome was that from the moment Lin Pingzhi drew his sword and pointed it at him, he felt a fatal crisis hanging over his heart.

Among the people in front of him, there are definitely people who can threaten his life!

This innate sixth sense had saved his life several times while performing dangerous missions, making Li Yao, the criminal officer of Dongchang Hundred Households, not dare to look down on the people in front of him.

Because Lin Pingzhi's current youth was too deceptive, the brawny man in brocade took a self-righteous look at the calm-looking coachman beside Lin Pingzhi, and then decisively stopped himself from drawing his sword at him, which was considered to be a relief.

The current atmosphere.

"Who are you?"

"You can actually recognize our identity?"

Cold sweat began to form on his back, but he still kept his voice calm, barely losing momentum.

"Dong Lin, Lin Pingzhi!"

"You are Donglin Gu Dazhang's disciple, the 'Bamboo and Stone Talent' Lin Pingzhi!"

"Exactly down there!"

Seeing Lin Pingzhi's admission, the strong man in brocade suddenly realized.

In this era, the nine thousand-year-old Wei Zhongxian was in charge of Dongchang and was extremely powerful. He repeatedly recruited people from the Jin Yiwei who were directly under the royal family. Even the uniforms were designed to be roughly similar to the Jin Yiwei.

However, since they are two departments after all, their clothing is still slightly different.

Most people may not be able to tell the difference, but as one of the biggest enemies of the Eunuch Party and the disciple of Junzi Dong Lin, it is not surprising that Lin Pingzhi can tell the difference between them.

After all, the people who know you best are often your enemies!

When he found out about Lin Pingzhi's identity as Donglin Gentleman's disciple and the eunuch's enemy Donglin Rookie, a cold light flashed in Li Yao's eyes, a strong man in brocade clothes, and he subconsciously wanted to kill Lin Pingzhi, the "bamboo and stone talent" in advance.

.

But the terrifying and deadly feeling before still made him react in time.

There are masters on the opposite side, masters who can kill him!

Under the threat of his life, Li Yao, a strong man in robes of robes, did not choose to fight directly. Instead, he silently raised a gesture again, instructing the burly men in robes of robes to follow him and leave.

After leaving half a mile away, and feeling that the fatal crisis had disappeared, he breathed a long sigh of relief, turned around and looked at the convoy getting further away at the end of the official road, with a gloomy face.

On the other side, Lin Pingzhi felt that those Dongchang fans were inexplicable and seemed to have an anticlimax and a tail end.

The previous Jin Yiwei, one by one, was a first-rate presence in the world. The leading strong man in Jin Yiwei, according to Lin Pingzhi's breath perception, had a peak third-rate, close to second-rate internal strength.

In addition to their official status, this was also the confidence that allowed them to block more than thirty elite escorts from the Fuwei Escort Bureau with less force.

But two years later, Lin Pingzhi, who had completely reached the top level in martial arts, did not take them seriously.

For him, who has really started to learn the improved "Evil Sword Manual", as long as he is willing to expose his powerful swordsmanship in front of the bodyguards, and kill all these Dongchang eagle dogs without letting go of anyone, although it is a bit troublesome, it is not impossible.

arrive!

An extraordinary master who has entered the first-class level, impacted the eight extraordinary meridians, and belongs to the superstructure in the entire martial arts world, is so confident!

But for some unknown reason, the Jinyi leader suddenly evacuated on his own!

He still didn't know that the Dongchang prison officer was actually Lin Pingzhi who was scared away by him. He felt a little confused as Monk Zhang Er, but he didn't think about it anymore.

The top priority is to leave this place as soon as possible to avoid being turned around by that Dongchang fanatic who brings in a large group of people to kill him.

"Uncle Ma, ask everyone to change roads at the official intersection ahead, and then move forward at full speed!"

"Yes, young master!"

······

Everything seemed to have returned to the calmness of the journey. Lin Pingzhi handed the sword to the coachman, returned to the carriage, and was not in a hurry to sit down.

Instead, he held the Book of Changes in his hand and spoke calmly to the innermost side of the carriage.

"Those people from Dongchang have already left!"

"Two gentlemen."

"Or, we should call the two girls. Can you tell me?"

"Who are you?"

"And why are you being chased by Dongchang's lackeys?"

As Lin Pingzhi spoke, the empty cushions in the innermost part of the carriage suddenly became hazy, and two slender figures appeared from it.

······
