Sword of Coming

The canopy in the center of the colorful world.

Two rays of sword light rose from Feisheng City and shot straight into the sky. Between the sky and the earth, the seas of clouds high and low were stirred up by the sword energy, creating huge whirlpools.

The bright sword light opened an arc path between the clouds and soil. When it reached the same height as the canopy gate, but it was still tens of thousands of miles away, the sword light suddenly hovered, and two figures appeared in an instant. Shape: one has a hosta on his head, a green shirt and long coat, a yellow hat and blue shoes, holding a hiking pole.

The two sword cultivators each turned into dozens of sword lights and rushed toward the gate. They used exactly the same escape method. Their speed was even faster than Liuxia Boat.

An old man with a thin appearance and a scholar's shirt stroked his beard and smiled, "I have to admit that when it comes to rushing, they sword immortals are more unrestrained. With a flash of sword light, the wind is lightning fast, and the world is unrestricted. Looking at it gives people a sense of being carefree. It’s refreshing.”

Another old man nodded and said: "I didn't have the qualifications to become a sword cultivator back then, otherwise I might not have been willing to study hard."

These two people are responsible for accompanying the sages in the Confucian Temple that dominates the colorful world. One is the first chief priest of Liji Academy, and the other founded Heshang Academy.

The two old men, each with a Confucian scholar from their own family, are both young gentlemen, and they need to stay here together for sixty years. Now they record in detail the changes in the weather, the changes in the mountains and rivers, and the fortunes of the various places in the world within Jiazi. The earliest purpose was to prevent the upper five realm monks from sneaking into the new world, especially to keep an eye on the two north and south gates connected to Tongye Continent and Fuyao Continent, and to prevent those Nascent Soul monks and Golden Body realm warriors from breaking the rules. In those few years, The two sages of the Confucian Temple still uncovered many lucky cultivators and warriors, and now they are all "reading the books of sages in a cold window" in the small world in the sleeves of these two old masters.

When they met the young hermit official who returned to his old place and then returned here, the two old men smiled a little. Previously, when Chen Ping'an passed through the canopy gate of Tongyezhou and came to Colorful World, the closed-door disciples of Wen Sheng's lineage were in a hurry and were in a hurry. There was not much politeness between the two parties at that time.

As for the strange attendant next to the young Yin Guan, he changed his body shape, and a snow-white spider lay on the shoulder of Qing Shi. The sage of the Confucian Temple who was responsible for guarding Tongyezhou had already had a bad relationship with them, so he turned a blind eye. One eye is closed.

Chen Ping'an's senior brother Mao Xiaodong is now the secretary of Liji Academy. Wang Zai, the gentleman who is now the deputy head of Wuxi Academy in Tongyezhou, his mentor is the contemporary grand priest of Liji Academy. Wang Zai once came to Across the sky, on the old man's side, he made no secret of his recognition and admiration for the young hermit official in his words. The Riverside Academy and the Foothills Academy in Nanbosu Island are both the pillars of the Yasheng lineage. The old man and Chen Chun'an are scholars of the same background, and they are close friends. In the early years, Chen Ping'an once brought the Great Sword Immortal Lu Zhi with him. , teamed up with Chen Chun'an, a scholar, to encircle and suppress a deeply hidden Ascension Realm monster on the sea. Chen Chun'an once found the old man in private and said that he never thought that he could still fulfill a big wish.

With this layer of relationship, the two accompanying sages who had never interacted with Chen Ping'an would naturally become close to each other.

Nearing the gate, Xiao Mo transformed into a snow-white spider again and stayed on the young master's shoulder.

Scholars want to save face.

Chen Ping'an bowed to the two old men and saluted, and the two sages who accompanied him in the Confucian Temple also bowed in return.

One is a disciple of the Wen Sheng lineage, and the other is the last hidden official who pays homage to the Great Wall of Sword Qi.

The two sides chatted about the current situation of the colorful world, and Chen Pingan planned to say goodbye and leave, returning to Tongyezhou through the gate.

A gentleman with "Haoran Qi" hanging around his waist came over, smiled and joked: "Why isn't Ning Jianxian walking with you? Could it be that there was a quarrel?"

Chen Pingan said helplessly: "Brother Qunyu is really idle."

It can be seen that the relationship between the two parties is good, and they can still joke with each other.

This gentleman's name is Gu Kuang and his courtesy name is Qunyu.

They are both Confucian scholars from the Confucian Temple and have been to the Great Wall of Sword Qi. However, he is different from Wang Zai who only serves as a war supervisor at the summer palace. Because Gu Kuang is not only a Confucian disciple but also a swordsman, so he can go into battle to kill The enemy is very familiar with Ning Yao and Chen Sanqiu. They have gone out of the city many times to fight and fight side by side. Among the big Li imitation Bai Yujing long swords that A Liang threw into the Great Wall of Sword Qi, a group of young swordsmen sat on the ground and divided their accounts. , Gu Kuang was assigned this long sword called "Haoran Qi" based on his ability.

Diezhang and Chen Sanqiu chose to travel together in Haoran World. They neither followed Feisheng City to Colorful World, nor followed Daoxuan Mountain to Qingming World like Fatty Yan and Dong Huafu. Chen Xi hoped that Chen Sanqiu could be on Haoran World's side. Study with peace of mind. With the magical power of Chen Sanqiu's flying sword, maybe you can refine a natal character in the future. Diezhang came here for Gu Kuang, but because he did not expect that Gu Kuang would serve as the record officer of Wucai Tianxia, ​​the two parties have never been able to meet each other for so many years.

Gu Kuang took off the "Haoran Qi" from his waist and asked: "Can I bother Yin Guan to give this sword to Feisheng City, even if it means returning it to the Song family in Dali? It would be shameful for me to keep it."

Chen Ping'an shook his head and said: "If I don't help with this mission, Brother Qunyu should keep it for himself. How can this favor owed to Feisheng City be repaid so easily? As for the imitation white jade capital of the Dali Imperial Court, it has now been used I won’t touch this ‘Haoran Qi’ sword anymore.”

Gu Kuang had no choice but to wear the long sword again.

If nothing else happens, Gu Kuang will probably serve as the deputy head of a certain academy after he leaves here.

Back then Chen Chun'an, a Confucian scholar, personally led a group of Confucian disciples to the Great Wall of Sword Qi.

Among the group of Confucian disciples who traveled to the Great Wall of Sword Qi with Liu Xianyang were Chen Shi, a sage who was a descendant of the Chen family, and Qin Zhengxiu, a gentleman from the Posuzhou Foothills Academy.

Qin Zhengxiu and Gu Kuang are close friends. Now the former is in Fuyao Island. Like Wang Zai of Wuxi Academy and Wen Yu of Tianmu Academy, he has served as the deputy head of a Confucian academy. It can be seen that these young people Promising Confucian gentlemen, because they each shined brightly in the war, came out of their studies one by one after the war ended. By virtue of their military exploits and their own knowledge, they were able to occupy important positions and became the real backbone of the Confucian Temple.

After opening the door for Chen Pingan, an old master named Jiang shook his sleeves, and a dozen people fell out. After they stood still, they were all a little dizzy. After being detained in the Qiankun in the sleeves for these years, everyone has their own scenery. The dojo is similar to a study. There is nothing else in the room except books.

They were all from Tongyezhou who wanted to take refuge in the new world. There were three Nascent Soul Realm monks, seven Golden Body Realm warriors, and two Far Traveling Realm masters.

The old master smiled and explained: "It's the meaning of the ceremonial saint. I'll trouble the hidden officials to take it back to their hometown."

Chen Pingan nodded, "It's a small matter, no trouble at all."

Chen Ping'an looked pleasant, but when the old master looked at the twelve people who had violated the ban, he didn't have a good expression. "These years of studying behind closed doors, you have read a lot of sages' books. You are half a scholar. Our Confucian Temple is just right." This is a place that cares about scholars. After returning home, you should be a good person and make up for your mistakes."

"If it falls into my hands again, haha."

Chen Ping'an smiled and answered: "Actually, it's good that they can reunite with Master Jiang again. Since they couldn't take care of themselves in Qingshan when they were in crisis, they could only write books and join the army, abandon their studies and practice Taoism. It’s an inspirational allusion. There are few precedents of abandoning Taoism to study literature or abandoning martial arts to study. If they were to make it, it might still be a good story."

Master Jiang laughed heartily, and we scholars just speak well.

Only then did everyone in Tongyezhou see one person. He was a man in green shirt with a knife folded at his waist and sleeves in his hands. He had a young appearance and an unknown identity.

These Tongyezhou uncles are used to being arrogant and domineering behind closed doors. Even if the old master just said the word "hidden official", he was still confused.

Even though I couldn't figure it out clearly, I still heard some clues. Is there anyone among the Haoran monks who could let the Li Sheng speak personally? If I heard correctly, Old Master Jiang just used the word "trouble"?

I wonder which old immortal with good looks and profound magic?

Old Master Jiang looked at the group of stupid geese and reminded: "If Yin Guan hadn't happened to be passing by here, and happened to be on his way to Tongyezhou, and someone had given him a ride, otherwise you would probably have to read seven or eight more sage books. .What are you doing standing there in a daze? You are not allowed to say thank you to Yin Guan?"

After hearing the words, everyone immediately followed the instructions, but everyone looked at each other in confusion, because no matter whether they wanted to clasp their fists or salute, they couldn't lower their heads or bend their waists, and they were extremely embarrassed for a while.

Chen Ping'an looked at this group of smart people who were the best at sizing up the situation, and said with a smile: "Old gods and grand masters don't need to be polite. If you don't dare to take it seriously, just say thank you, for fear of losing your life."

Another old master said: "Fellow Taoist Xizhu, you might as well show up. If this group of people wants to pass through the two gates, they still need you to protect them."

Wait until Chen Pingan nodded.

Xiao Mo then regained his true form and took those dozen people into his sleeves.

Then Chen Ping'an led Xiao Mo along the colorful glazed river of time and walked out of the gate of Tongyezhou Canopy.

After the two sword cultivators walked through the door, Old Master Jiang sighed, "After the phoenix tree was half dead and cleared of frost, the mess was just a mess."

Another sage who accompanied the worshiper remembered something and said from his heart: "Regarding Tongyezhou, Zou Zi had a prophecy in the early years. What is the explanation? Judging from the current situation, Zou Zi made a miscalculation?"

Old Master Jiang shook his head and said, "It seems too early to say that Zou Zi miscalculated."

The phoenix follows the sky wind, perches high on the sycamore branches, the peaches and plums bloom in the spring breeze, and the phoenix dies in the clear autumn when the leaves fall. The simplicity conveys the true nature, and then meets the ancients.

At the canopy of Tongyezhou, Chen Pingan asked Xiaomo to take the dozen people in his sleeves to other places so as not to be an eyesore. As for how they would return home against the wind and whether their respective hometowns were still there, I think these people would not go too far. Take heart.

Chen Ping'an bowed to the old master and asked, "Can you help me find the trace of the Feng Yuan ferry?"

The old master nodded and quickly pointed out a place for Chen Pingan, which was where the Feng Yuan ferry headed to Xiandu Mountain was.

After Xiao Mo returned, the two parties turned into sword light and went to the ferry. They landed floating on the Feng Yuan ferry. Xiao Mo was a little strange and said softly: "Sir, Mi Jianxian seems to be in retreat at the moment. Sect Leader Liu personally Protect the way for Mi Jianxian."

Liu Jinglong walked out of the house and came to the observation deck. Chen Ping'an came to him and asked, "Has Mi Yu found an opportunity to break the bottleneck of Yupu Realm?"

As the head of his family's summer palace, this Mi Da Sword Immortal had psychological shadows about breaking into seclusion.

Liu Jinglong nodded and said: "It will only happen sooner or later if you accumulate more experience."

Chen Pingan shook his head and smiled: "It is indeed a matter of time, but it will be at least ten years earlier than Xiaomo's 'earliest' expectation. Tell me the truth, have you been a big help?"

Liu Jinglong did not pretend to be pretentious, and roughly explained the reason. He used his natal flying sword to create a Taixu world, first let Mi Yu be in it, and then draw Mi Yu's mind. Transformation, in the end, one sword breaks all laws. As for the real mystery here, it is by no means as simple as a few words between Liu Jinglong and Mi Yu. Mi Yu may have seen his life in that world, why he handed the sword so neatly when he was young, and why he did not dare to hand it over later. Thinking of After receiving the sword from others, I thought of those sword cultivators from my hometown, who lived and died vigorously, and came and went silently...

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "When I prepare to enter the Jade Pu realm, will you also shake hands with me?"

Liu Jinglong shook his head and said: "It's just that Mi Yu found it useful, but it's of no use to you. Besides, it's not something I can just do if I want to evolve into a great avenue."

Chen Pingan slapped the railing heavily, "I knew it!"

This move must have eroded Qi Jinglong's moral integrity for many years.

Liu Jinglong said: "You don't need to take it too seriously, I actually gained a lot as well."

For the outside world, after visiting Zhengyang Mountain in Luolu Mountain, a corner of Luolu Mountain, which has always been covered by clouds and fog, has finally been revealed. Although the owner of the mountain, Chen Ping'an, is also a Jade Pu Realm sword cultivator, he may have come from the Great Wall of Sword Qi. Miyu, the sword fairy, has the best swordsmanship and the most lethality.

Once Miyu successfully reaches the Immortal Realm, it will definitely not be a small matter for the entire Aquarius Continent, whether on the mountain or at the bottom.

After all, any new Great Sword Immortal would have a huge impact on the existing pattern of mountains and rivers in any continent except the Divine Continent of Middle-earth.

Liu Jinglong suddenly laughed and said: "In any case, I have done Luo Luoshan and Master Chen a small favor. Have a drink? You can thank me or wish Mi Yu a breakthrough in advance. Master Chen seems to be There’s no reason to refuse, right?”

Chen Ping'an immediately knew that something was wrong. Liu Jinglong made an exception and took the initiative to drink. He was definitely prepared and said firmly: "Don't worry, I have something else to do. I will stay here soon on the ferry and I will leave for somewhere else soon."

Liu Jinglong grabbed Chen Pingan's arm and said, "It's just a few jars of wine each. With our drinking capacity, we can't delay the business."

Chen Pingan patted Liu Jinglong's arm, but it didn't work. He shook his arm vigorously, but it still didn't work. He could only say with sincerity in his eyes: "Something really happened!"

Xiao Mo had no choice but to help out and said: "Sect Master Liu, the young master really has something big to do. Xiao Mo can only follow, at most he can help clear the way, but he won't be able to protect the road at all afterwards."

Liu Jinglong let go of his hand and asked, "Where are you going?"

Chen Pingan said: "Go and take a look at the sycamore tree."

Liu Jinglong frowned slightly, "Don't you wait to return to the Jade Pure Realm?"

Chen Ping'an took a deep breath and said, "Anyway, the level of the state doesn't mean much, so I won't delay it."

Liu Jinglong could only remind: "Be careful."

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "As long as we are not enemies of someone's drinking table, everything will be fine."

Liu Jinglong was not in the mood to make jokes with this guy and asked: "How about this, can we catch up with the celebration the day after tomorrow?"

Chen Pingan nodded and said: "This is definitely no problem. If we can't reach an agreement, it will only be a waste of time, or the other party simply doesn't want to talk, and may just be rejected."

Liu Jinglong asked: "Leaving immediately?"

Chen Ping'an couldn't help but laugh and said: "I'm going to meet Xiaomili first. Someone wants me to help deliver a message. Xiaomo, please wait for a moment. If Sect Master Liu really wants to drink, eh?"

Xiao Mo nodded and said, "I understand."

Liu Jinglong smiled and said: "On the day of the beginning of spring, Chen Ping'an, just wait for me."

When Chen Pingan left Colorful World, it was already dark, and when he returned to Haoran World, it was noon.

A little girl in black, carrying a golden pole on her shoulders, was circling the bow and stern of the boat. Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, the right protector held a green bamboo staff and quickly showed off her crazy sword skills.

Chen Pingan climbed over the railing and came to the ferry deck. He smiled and said: "Good swordsmanship."

Xiaomi Li quickly threw the hiking stick in her hand on the ground. She immediately felt something was wrong and quickly picked it up again. On the way to the good man mountain master, Xiao Mili gently patted the green bamboo stick and apologized.

Chen Ping'an said: "I went to Wucai Tianxia and met Mr. Wu. He asked me to send a message to say hello to you."

Xiaomi Li pursed her lips, nodded vigorously, coughed a few times, and said with a straight face: "Mr. Wu, you are too polite."

It was as if Mr. Wu was by his side, and then the two old men, one big and one small, met each other and exchanged polite greetings there.

Chen Ping'an bent down and touched Xiao Mili's head.

Xiaomi Li smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed into crescent moons, and she held both the green bamboo stick and the golden pole in her arms. She held the sleeve of the good mountain master with one hand, walked together, and said softly: "I'll go back to Luolu Mountain. Prepare more melon seeds, pastries and dried fish.”

Chen Ping'an nodded and said, "It's possible, but Xiaomi is more thoughtful."

Xiaomi Li asked: "Has the good mountain master forgotten?"

Chen Ping'an looked down and asked deliberately with a puzzled look on his face: "How do you say that?"

Xiaomi Li laughed and said, "Though is thoughtful, my surname is Zhou Le."

Chen Ping'an suddenly said: "So that's the case, no wonder it's like that."

In Luopo Mountain, there was no monk that Chen Lingjun did not dare to offend.

Of course, there are no elders who can’t hold a grain of millet.

Over in Feisheng City, Ning Yao was sitting in a room, instructing the little girl named Feng Yuanxiao on how to practice.

Sitting next to the table was a young girl with pink and jade sculptures. She looked extremely strange and charming. She was holding up a seal in her hand and looking at the seal by the light.

She "picked it up" from the table in the wing of a certain guy's house. Ning Yao didn't stop her, he just told her to remember to return it.

The seal is not large, but has many seals, and is engraved with some auspicious sayings with beautiful meanings: business, business, energy, swords, immortals, romance, gods, gods, and the love of children.

Before Chen Pingan left Feisheng City, he left many Spring Festival couplets and blessing characters to the Ning Mansion.

I also didn't forget to write a plaque and a few couplets for the new wine shop of the husband-and-wife team Qiu Long and Liu E.

A young man in white clothes was traveling far away again, riding the wind alone in the night. When he had nothing to do, he raised his arms high, put his fingers together, and brought out a series of radiant lights in the air.

At the foot of Luolu Mountain, Xianwei is temporarily serving as the gatekeeper. Xianwei is a fake Taoist priest and a real scholar. He is really poor. Thanks to Brother Dafeng, who has never met him but admires him endlessly, he left behind the mountain of books. Therefore, I am not idle every day. I am either watching the female martial artist named Cen Yuanji walking back and forth along the mountain stairs, or I am carefully reading through Brother Dafeng's collection of books. Between some pages, whenever there is something "omitted to mention" There will be a piece of paper sandwiched between the paragraphs. It turns out that the amazingly talented Brother Dafeng took up the pen himself and wrote down the wonderful content ranging from hundreds of words.

My brother Dafeng is truly a god!

It makes people's hearts boil when they see it.

Extremely expert, my grandmaster!

Chen Lingjun came to the foot of the mountain and watched Brother Xianwei wrap himself up like a rice dumpling, huddled on a chair. Fortunately, he was still carrying a hand stove made by an old cook, but Brother Xianwei seemed to be in a good mood recently. Every day is like making a fortune.

Chen Lingjun sat on a bamboo chair nearby and said with a smile: "You are a Taoist after all, why can't you stand the cold?"

The Xianwei complained repeatedly, "It's even harder for monks in the lower five realms to endure the cold weather. Brother Lingjun, you are too ignorant of the sufferings of the people."

Chen Lingjun laughed and said nothing.

In the past, I actually knew a little about the waters of Yujiang River in Huangting Kingdom.

In those years, the Yujiang Water God Brothers spent a lot of incense in Shuifu and avoided several droughts and floods within their jurisdiction.

Xianwei asked curiously: "When will Brother Dafeng come back?"

Chen Lingjun shook his head and said, "It's hard to say. I'll ask the master later."

I really miss the days when Zheng Dafeng was guarding the gate in Luolu Mountain.

There are two frustrations in life: men only have talent and knowledge but no background, and women only have faces but no back.

It was Zheng Dafeng who said it.

I want to create a path for the talented and beautiful people in the world.

It was also what Brother Dafeng said.

On Luolu Mountain, the chief steward Zhu Lian received two guests today: Wu Yuan, the son-in-law of the Yuan family of Shangzhu State, a student of Cui Cheng, the national teacher, and now the governor of Xinchu Prefecture.

There was also Jing Kuan who left Beijing and became the governor of Baoxi County.

The old cook went to the back mountain again and taught the two Cao disciples some boxing techniques.

Then Zhu Lian returned to the front mountain, because someone "knocked on the door" at the Lotus Root Blessed Land, and it was Peixiang.

Now that Zhang Lun is no longer on the mountain, Zhu Lian is responsible for this matter.

After Zhu Lian opened the door, he smiled and asked, "Is something wrong?"

Peixiang's eyes were sad.

The lord of the Fox Kingdom has long, autumn eyes, as if he is asking, in your eyes, what does it mean to be okay? If nothing happens, then you will be nowhere to be found or spoken to, right?

Melancholy is like a mountain, gathering in the brow, and emotion is like water, flowing into the heart.

Zhu Lian smiled and handed over the sleeve stove in his hand, "It's good to come out and relax."

We went to the top of the mountain together. Peixiang said something about the current world situation in Lotus Root Blessed Land. Zhu Lian didn't say much and just listened patiently.

After Peixiang had finished talking, Zhu Lian asked her about the current situation in the Fox Kingdom.

While chatting, they walked, and when they arrived at the white jade railing at the top of the mountain, Zhu Lian stood leaning on the railing, looking into the distance, with the mountain wind blowing, and holding his temple hair with his palms.

Peixiang looked at Zhu Lian's side face and remembered a saying in the book for no reason.

The carved railings and jade masonry should still be there, but the beauty has changed.

————

A young man named Shi Yuyan finally took a breather from his official duties and sat by the river. With chapped lips, he took out his flask and took a sip of strong wine to refresh himself.

The frostbite on my hands accumulated in the winter has not healed yet as the New Year approaches. This year I was destined to not be able to return to Beijing to celebrate the New Year, so I just sent a letter from the Feng family back.

The Dachong Dynasty where he lived was extremely righteous in its restoration.

His Majesty the Emperor, who is in his prime, has worked hard over the years to achieve great success in Dachong, both in terms of its reputation on the mountain and its national strength.

However, compared to the northern neighbor Aquarius Continent, the Dachong Dynasty’s so-called restoration of the country in Tongye Continent is naturally only compared with other countries in this continent, and it is a general among the shorter ones.

Not long ago, Shi Yuyan hired an old staff member as the accountant. His surname was Zhang Mingxie. The old man claimed to be from a vassal hilltop in Xiaolongqiu in the north. He was a king of Huangshui who had not been ennobled by the local court. Under his subordinate, he served as the lowest-level worshiper and worked as the accountant of Huangshui Mansion for many years. Just because a small thing was not done properly, the King of Huangshui did not miss the old relationship and gave him a small sum of money. Just a few snowflakes. Discarded, pack up and get out.

Shi Yuyan turned to look at the aide next to him and asked: "Lao Zhang, you are a god on the mountain. Although your realm is not too high, you are still in the sea-viewing realm. What are you doing by staying by my side?"

After Lao Zhang got acquainted with him, he took the initiative to visit his home and chatted with his father once. Otherwise, his father would not be relieved if there was a qi practitioner beside him.

Shi Yuyan's father, who was the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, secretly spent a lot of effort to find a few familiar immortal masters to check the details of "Zhang Xie". That Xiao Longqiu was in Tongyezhou in the past. It may not be considered a first-class immortal mansion, but it is now a big one. What's more, there is a Shangzong Dalongqiu as a backer in the Middle Earth Divine Continent, and there is indeed an inconspicuous Huang among the vassal forces of Xiaolongqiu. There is a bookkeeper in Shuishui Mansion, named Zhang Xie, who matches him in every aspect.

But this immortal master on the mountain is indeed experienced and has strange ideas. Shi Yuyan once had a poor friend who was very talented. He suffered from the failure of the imperial examination and could not become famous. As soon as Lao Zhang took action, he succeeded immediately. Shi Yuyan followed the instructions For Lao Zhang's plan, he found a few scholars and famous literary figures who were famous for their free talk. In fact, in the capital of Gyeonggi Province, he did not spend a few dollars to organize a gathering of nobles and literati with noisy banquets. At the gathering, a few more servants were invited to pretend to be elegant merchants, and they had banquets along the way. Then they asked the friend to pretend to be a beggar, dressed in rags, holding a wooden stick to hold a broken bowl, reciting love poems, and begging for wine along the way. When drinking, some merchants made things difficult for the beggar and asked them to sing "Cangguan", "Qingshi", and "Pushing", so that the beggar must sing poems and verses before he could drink. The beggar laughed and said, "Who knows the pine, bamboo and rabbit?" Composing a poem in one step, he immediately won the applause of the whole house. He passed through all the obstacles and defeated the generals. When he arrived at the pavilion where the literary giants were, he even composed a poem impromptu. His skill shocked everyone. After drinking, he walked away. When someone in the pavilion called out his name in surprise, Everyone knew what this person's surname was, and regarded him as an "exiled immortal". His fame overnight became famous in both the government and the public...

Afterwards, Shi Yuyan asked Lao Zhang how he came up with such a method. The old staff member said that he just borrowed the method from ancient books, ancient people and ancient events. Lao Zhang even sighed at that time, the man in the book is really talented, not like this Use tricks.

If this matter is still pragmatic, another pragmatic thing really made Shi Yuyan look at Lao Zhang with admiration. It turned out that he was a guy with a relationship that was only half-baked, and he was doing business in partnership with a good friend of Shi Yuyan. After working for several years, my friend seemed to be making a lot of money because he took over a lot of local civil engineering construction business. At that time, I wanted to recruit Shi Yuyan to join the team, but Shi Yuyan didn't know how to make money. I have not been interested since I was a child and declined, especially after I became an official in the Ministry of Industry. After Lao Zhang heard about this, he immediately asked Shi Yuyan to remind the friend. Shi Yuyan was hesitant, but still tried to persuade the friend twice, but the other party didn't listen. As a result, the friend was really worried now, because all the accounts were All the money outside the home was taken away in just half a month, leaving only an empty shell and a mess to my friends. I borrowed debts everywhere and demolished the east wall to pay for the west wall, but it still didn't work.

And this "old man" named Zhang Xie is naturally Zhang Liuchu, Xiao Longqiu's chief guest.

It's just that one is old and the other is young. One doesn't look like the old immortal Nascent Soul, and the other doesn't look like the minister of the Ministry of Industry.

From the capital to the place, it was okay along the way. The food and hospitality at the stations along the way were just in accordance with official rules. But when we arrived at the new location of the capital, we really had to eat and sleep in the open. In fact, the construction of the capital was nominally led by the minister of the Ministry of Industry in the capital, but now The one who is really in charge is Shi Yuyan, the right servant.

The reconstruction of local towns, Man Mo Temple, and City God Temple, the repair of temples of landscape gods, and the repair of royal and official gymnasiums in the mountains. As long as you want to do things, it seems that there is no end, and it happens that you have to do something sincerely. The Minister of Industry was responsible for the incident.

Some people who originally wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune, actually encountered this knowledgeable minister of the Ministry of Industry, and they also had a headache. He was young and had a good reputation. Many places had been revised early when the young minister went south. The account books were collected. The one who asked the court for 10,000 taels of silver was now reduced to seven or eight thousand taels on his own initiative. A mountain god temple was even cut in half.

And all of this is of course due to the old staff beside Shi Yuyan. Otherwise, how would Shi Yuyan know the quality and price of the wood on the mountains?

However, some of the free plaques and couplets were used by the young minister to use his family's incense and affection. They were also secretly reminded by the old staff, saying that it is a taboo to ruin a person's wealth, and he must make up for it. The rules of officialdom are Keeping it is not interfering with favors, not to mention that in the officialdom, giving face is often more effective than giving money. For one of the golden calligraphy books of Hebo Mansion, Shi Yuyan even privately asked his father for help. Only then did the old minister shamelessly ask a gentleman from Dafu Academy for a set of calligraphy books. The government is also the only one who does not complain about poverty to the Ministry of Industry and does not ask for money from the Ministry of Households. Therefore, now this little Hebo, who is famous for his bad temper and strong bones, is known to everyone in the government and the public as an upright official and a capable minister. , I, Dachong, have such a minister, the country will definitely be prosperous.

After leaving the Luojing Lantern Riddle House, Zhang Liuzhu and Dai Yuan, two good brothers who share weal and woe, first went back to their respective homes, and then began to make their own plans.

As the chief worshiper, Zhang Liuzhu first returned to Xiaolongqiu, made some arrangements, and soon left for the Dachong Dynasty. Finally, he found the young man named Shi Yuyan, using a pseudonym and a fake name. The identity was given to this young and powerful minister of the Ministry of Industry, and he happily became the adviser who made suggestions.

The minister's name is good, he is virtuous, and he speaks well in art.

The Minister of the Ministry of Justice is a typical late-born son, so he naturally favors this only child to heaven. It is impossible for a filial son to be born under a stick.

Moreover, although Shi Yuyan was unruly and uninhibited, if we put aside that ridiculous thing, he was indeed considered to be a first-class prospect among the officials' children. He was a Jinshi who passed the examination based on his true ability and was a genuine disciple of the emperor.

Zhang Liuzhu replied with a smile: "Of course I have taken a fancy to the great potential of Mr. Minister, which is limitless."

Shi Yuyan smiled and said: "Lao Zhang, are you sincere when you say this? Do you believe it yourself?"

Zhang Liuzhu said categorically: "Of course I believe it!"

The young servant laughed angrily and said, "It's too much to amuse me!"

Zhang Liuzhu shook his head, "Master, why should you belittle yourself?"

The old Yuanying was not aggrieved at all to serve as an adviser to the young minister, let alone a general. Firstly, he coveted the vacant national advisor, and secondly, Dai Yuan was indeed in agreement with this prodigal young man who could not exchange for gold. The waiter has a congenial temperament. After all, Shi Yuyan, when he was a junior minister in the household department, dared to embezzle three million taels of silver privately in order to rank higher in the rouge list for a favorite fairy. All at once. He almost lost his head when he was abandoned to the blessed land of Yunku, Huashen Mountain, which caused his father to wipe his butt, smash pots and sell iron, borrow money from everywhere, and couldn't make up all the debts, if His Majesty the Emperor hadn't seen the hard work and merit of the Master of the Ministry of Punishments. , the old man is a confidant who supports the dragon, and is capable in governance. He is definitely not the kind of upright civil servant who only talks with his hands down. Otherwise, his son would have imprisoned me and he would have been imprisoned.

The turning point of the matter was that Shi Yuyan couldn't stand his father's sighs and would not hit or scold him. He seemed to be depressed and pretended that he had never given birth to a son.

From time to time, my mother would deliberately shed tears at her father's side, and kept saying that it was all her fault for being lax in her discipline. In fact, Yu Yan was not a bad person, and she would definitely change her ways in the future. Who knows, one day she would be mature and responsible, and then He is the lintel of a family with two ministers. Even our son can count on it. Just say that in the capital city, due to the lack of so many official positions in recent years, the good and the bad are mixed. Everyone has become an official by relying on the shadow, and there are a few. The descendants of colleagues in the household, like our Yuyan, came from a clear and upright background and passed the second-level Jinshi examination based on their true abilities... But when the woman came to her son in private, she didn't say this. She just said that her son would Don't be afraid, your father is still the Minister of Punishment, and is the confidant of the emperor today. Anyone can succeed in the imperial court, but it will never succeed without your father. Now we have great respect, and only your father dares to deal with those immortal masters on the mountain. If you have to say some tough words with a loud voice for the imperial court and His Majesty, look at Liu Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites and Ma Shangshu of the Ministry of Husbandry. Can they do it? You don’t even dare to fart, but just remember, these words are just whispers between us and my mother. Don’t spread them outside, otherwise it will be difficult for your father to be a good man...

Shi Yuyan really couldn't stand the atmosphere at that time. His father didn't like him, and his mother always regarded him as a child. The young man was so angry that he simply went out to travel. The world is so big that if there is no place for him to stay, he will have his own place. As a result, I met a confidant named Zhou, who seemed to be from Aquarius Island. He claimed to be Zhenjun Bengde, and left Shi Yuyan a sincere letter. Shi Yuyan felt that he had never met anyone in his life. After seeing such friends and three fairy coins, Shi Yuyan found out after returning to the capital that they were Guyu coins from the mountains, so he made up for the entire deficit in the treasury of the Ministry of Revenue at once.

After that, Shi Yuyan returned to officialdom, but instead of returning to the Ministry of Household Affairs as an errand, he unexpectedly went to the Ministry of Works as a member of the Communist Party of China. When everyone in the capital official circles thought that this guy was about to start making money from side jobs, Shi Yuyan unexpectedly went to the Ministry of Works. Yu Yan actually stayed in the archives room of the Ministry of Works all day long, studying the rather boring civil engineering repairs and construction paradigms. After half a year, he took the initiative to take on a hard job. The young member Wai Lang even asked I paid my own money, asked my friends to help find someone, and brought along a few old plumbers and craftsmen who were temporarily at home, and went out to Beijing together. As Brother Zhou said, there is no reason to be a dandy who has everything he wants. Not the best official in the world.

The result was good. When he was a dandy in the capital and an unfilial son, his father would at most give him a few serious words of instruction, and then teach him some official rules and taboos. When Shi Yuyan felt that he had started to really work, he lost more than thirty kilograms. , his hands and feet are full of calluses, but on his father's side, things are not getting better. He has returned to Beijing several times to report on his work, and every one of them has been rebellious and evil.

But it's much better now.

Every time when the young minister left the capital, the old minister would remind his son not to forget to eat well and wear warm clothes, and toss and turn. That's all.

Shi Yuyan shook his head, "Don't think me stupid, I know some rules on the mountain. You immortal masters who fly in the clouds, even if you go down the mountain and step into the cave of right and wrong in the world of mortals, the so-called experience is nothing more than what is said in the book of ghosts and monsters." As a wealthy couple, the first choice is to be like the Ji Cuiguan of the Yu Dynasty, to be a true protector of the country. As a prime minister in feathers, his status is indescribable. The benefits are naturally inexhaustible. The second level is to serve as an insider to the imperial court, similar to the Aquarius Island in the north, getting a piece of peace card issued by the Ministry of Punishment from the Song family of Dali."

"The next step is to serve as a guest of the family for a frontier official like the chief official of a state or the governor of water transportation, and the sky is high and the emperor is far away. There are still many benefits to be gained."

"If you give it to a Beijing official, even a six-department chief like my father, you will be at the feet of the emperor after all. At most, you can be regarded as a real purge. But at least you will have some glory in your face. Occasionally, if you encounter something, you may be able to help. Let’s talk. The most inferior ones are those wealthy families who have their own way of making money. When you find me, I’m just a minister of the Ministry of Industry with no money to make. Lao Zhang, tell me what’s going on. ?”

"Of course I want to be promoted, but I don't want to get rich. Lao Zhang, if you don't tell the truth today, I won't dare to keep you by my side."

The old staff member sighed, "Now that things have happened, I will no longer hide Lao Zhang."

"To be honest, I am the friend of the fallen Zhenjun on the mountain. His surname is Zhou Mingshou, and he is the chief priest of a... small mountain in Aquarius Continent. And I happen to be the unnamed guest there. As for my role as How come Xiao Longqiu's outer sect's genealogy monk became a guest of the Aquarius Continent Immortal Mansion? There are some twists and turns here. When I was young, I was a carefree and happy wild cultivator in the mountains and rivers. I once traveled across continents and visited Aquarius Continent. I had been to Old Dragon City, Shen Gaozong, and Yunxia Mountain, and I got to know Brother Zhou. Although I was only in the Cave Mansion Realm at that time, the Tongyezhou monks at that time were in Aquarius Continent, haha, very You can be treated as a monk in the Longmen Realm. After I parted ways with you, Fellow Daoist Zhou traveled to the blessed land of Yunku. When he returned to the north, he went to Huangshui Mansion to find me and advised me to move the dead and move the living. Instead of being unwelcome in that Shuifu Mansion and being suffocated every day, why not come to your place and say that the Dachong Dynasty met a young man named Shi Yuyan who had great ambitions and would become a minister in the future. Let me run a good business here in Dachongjing City and treat it as a pension."

Shi Yuyan was stunned for a moment after hearing this. It was really full of twists and turns, no coincidence!

Shi Yuyan had only mentioned it to his father in recent years about Zhou Shou, whose Taoist name was Beng Zhenjun.

My father only said that this person was definitely not a half-hearted Qi practitioner in the middle and fifth realms. It was unclear whether he was from Aquarius Continent or not. It was very likely that he was an outsider, or even a gold-married person. Dan's land fairy.

Moreover, my father got a piece of gossip from somewhere, saying that somewhere in this continent, there happened to be a mountain immortal master named Beng Zhenjun. Jiang Shangzhen".

However, there does seem to be a Dragon State to the north of Aquarius Continent.

Shi Yuyan was puzzled at that time, Dad, you are a minister of the Ministry of Justice, how did you know these messy anecdotes on the mountain? The old minister said that there was an old immortal master in the Ministry of Punishments who had been a friend for many years. He came from Chiyi Mountain. The indifferent old master Jindan and the old monk did not deal with the old master Jiang of the Jade Guizong. Every time he received the imperial salary and was untouchable, he hurriedly went to the mirror to throw money and cursed the old thief Jiang.

When the old minister heard about this, he was shocked. He had to persuade the few friends on the mountain, both publicly and privately, to be careful not to be visited by the old sect master Jiang. With your little golden elixir cultivation, Because, Chiyishan has to walk around without food, and it will also bring trouble to our court.

However, the old friend waved his hand and swore that the old thief Jiang was a pervert and that he only knew how to look under women's skirts and look at the scenery.

He also said that in their gang, although his level of cultivation was not high, he was a very good player at scolding Jiang Thief, so he was ranked third, except for the leader, second only to the wealthy Bengzhenjun.

Even Bengluo Zhenjun admired him greatly, saying that he had reached the state of perfection. Bengluo Zhenjun also said that if he hadn't relied on a few stinky money, in good conscience, you should have been the second boss.

Hearing what the Bengpai Zhenjun said, the old immortal master immediately felt at ease. Second or third place, why are you fighting for that false reputation? Anyway, everyone is scolding Jiang Shangzhen based on his ability...

Shi Yuyan was not interested in the weird gods and grievances on the mountain at all, but where Lao Zhang was before in Xiaolongqiu, there was a young girl fairy named Linghu Jiaoyu, and Shi Yuyan knew her well. He had won a lot, but he had no choice but to compete with the fairy he liked for the spot.

Nowadays, Shi Yuyan actually has no idea about Huayue Place and Yingying Yanyan. Occasionally, when he is invited by friends in the capital, he will go to have a few flower wines, just to support them.

The young minister, who has already reached a high position in the temple at the age of 30, has only three words to express his thoughts.

Too young.

There was a boat docking far on the river, and there was a boatman's girl. She straightened her back and raised her hands to pull her hair into a bun.

Shi Yuyan couldn't see her face clearly, but it didn't matter, her curvaceous curves were very eye-catching.

They each looked away. The old immortal master and the young official looked at each other and smiled. It turned out that they were of the same mind.

Shi Yuyan sighed for no reason: "After following me all the way, I can see that, Lao Zhang, you are elegant and elegant, vulgar and vulgar, you can suffer hardships and enjoy blessings. If all the gods on the mountain are like you, it will be true." It makes me extremely envious. Maybe one day I won’t be happy with my job as an official, so I’ll follow you into the mountains to practice Taoism. Then don’t blame me for my poor qualifications.”

Zhang Liuzhu smiled and shook his head and said: "It would be much better to have an official Shi Yuyan in the Dachong Dynasty than to have multiple Taoist masters on the mountain."

Shi Yuyan turned around and asked, "You have so much confidence in me?"

Zhang Liuzhu nodded and said: "Of course I have confidence, and I have confidence in my own vision and that of Brother Zhou."

Damn it, now Zhang Liuzhu has chewed out some aftertaste, Zhou Shou, Zhou Fat, it is clearly the Jiang Shangzhen who appeared at the gate of Taiping Mountain with the Sword Immortal in Qingshan!

As for the guy from Xiandu Mountain who calls himself Cui Dongshan, he obviously threw himself next to Shi Yuyan on purpose. He is hiding somewhere now, waiting to see the joke.

This is called real entertainment!

As a result, Zhang Liuzhu was immediately slapped on the back of the head, and then an elusive young man in white strangled the old Yuanying's neck, "Tell me honestly, are you talking bad about me in your heart?!"

Shi Yuyan turned his head and said blankly: "Who is this?"

The young man in white clothes smiled and said: "My surname is Cui. I am now a direct disciple of Pushan Yuncaotang. I have come down from the mountain to practice. I just traveled here and came to see an old friend. Of course, Chief Zhou and I are brothers."

————

The Divine Continent of Middle Earth, Dayong Dynasty, Jiuzhen Immortal Pavilion.

There is a small lake near the water. The water is clear and you can almost count the fish swimming under the water.

This place is a forbidden area for the sect, and even the direct descendants of the ancestral hall are not allowed to approach this place.

Immortal Yun Jie, wearing a snow-white robe, was reading two newspapers from his old residence.

Li Qingzhu, the direct disciple, used to find excuses to travel. Since he earned the reputation of "Li Shuipiao" in Yuanyangzhu, he probably won't be willing to go out and show his face in a few years.

A young woman came slowly, her face looked weak at twenty, but strong at fifteen. She had no makeup, her face was like a peach blossom, and she was wearing a white silk and green skirt, which was very radiant.

Her name is Wei Zi, she is Yunqiao's Taoist companion on the mountain, and she is also an immortal.

Yun Jie put down the Shanshui Di newspaper, raised his head and asked, "How is the progress?"

Some things were a bit shady. To be cautious, neither Taoist couple used flying swords to convey messages.

Wei Zi smiled sweetly, "It went very well. If it weren't for the rules of the Confucian Temple, it wouldn't be difficult to turn our sect leader into a puppet. Just say it's a mountain closure, and no one will notice."

The ancestors of the Jiuzhen Immortal Pavilion have a long history, and the legal lineage passed down is extremely impressive. The Fulu sect, the Danding sect, the Green Zhang Baogao, the Dragon Vein Faqiu, the military monks, the pure martial artists, and even the sword cultivators all have their own lineage from generation to generation. It has been passed down through the inheritance, and this Taoist monk of Yunqi has an excellent opportunity. She owns a small broken cave with strong evil aura. It is a feng shui treasure land that ghost cultivators in the world dream of. And she has indeed relied on several ancient spells in the secret realm. Back then, she was a female golden elixir cultivator who had no hope of becoming a Nascent Soul. After she turned to the ghost path to practice, she has been able to break through smoothly and become as strong as a broken bamboo.

Yunqi stared at her and reminded: "You must not act like this."

She stretched and said, "It doesn't matter."

The word "save" is the dialect of her hometown.

The sect where Nan Guangzhao belongs has most of its foundations in the founder of the Ascension Realm. The same goes for realms, heavenly materials, earthly treasures, and immortal money.

Among the direct descendants, there was obviously no shortage of disciples with good qualifications, but in the end, Nan Guangzhao only supported a Jade Purity monk to be the puppet master of the embroidered pillow.

Even so, Nan Guangzhao died, and his death was extremely unexpected.

In addition to the separated body of Nan Guangzhao at the gate of the mountain, there is also a line of inscriptions with awe-inspiring sword spirit, "Those who wield Nan Guangzhao with their hands will be in a blessed land of spiritual refreshment and master swordsmanship."

Haosu?

At that time, almost the entire world did not know who this person was, and how he could kill a great monk in the Ascension Realm.

Where did an Ascension Realm sword cultivator appear from? And why is it so unknown?

You must know that in that fight, an old monk at the Ascension Realm died. Even the sect didn't have time to stop him. The fight had already come to an end.

When the patriarch Nan Guangzhuang left like this, not only did he die, but also several items close to him were destroyed by the sword light. This means that at least half of the sect's property has been lost in one fell swoop.

No matter how tightly guarded the sect's treasury is, how can an old monk at the Ascension Realm carry it with him safely?

The old patriarch Nan Guangzhuang was already unpopular. Those old Yuanyings who had no qualifications for cultivating but had stagnated realms had long been full of complaints. So when Nan Guang died and the sect disappeared, the people of the sect were at a loss. Those who worshiped you, guest , he had long since severed ties with the sect by sending a message via Feijian. Even some of the direct disciples of the Ancestral Master Hall scattered and found other jobs. Anyway, in the past, Nan Guangzhao had money and would not spend it on others, but now the sect really has no money.

So when Immortal Yun Jie made a move, it was a treaty in name, but in fact, a sect was equivalent to becoming a vassal of Jiuzhen Immortal Pavilion.

Of course, it’s not that the Yu Pu realm is not afraid of attracting wolves into the house. It’s really a helpless move to choose the lesser of two evils. If you reject the Jiuzhen Immortal Hall, your sect will completely collapse.

Even if you take a step back and say that your bones are hard enough, it doesn't matter if the sect leader refuses Yun Qi's proposal. A skinny camel is bigger than a horse, but the problem lies in the Yuanying realm brothers who are so full of resentment. They have all begun secretly planning how to usurp the throne and divide the family property!

She seemed to have remembered something interesting, she covered her mouth and smiled, her flower branches trembling. She finally stopped laughing, gently wiped the corners of her eyes with her fingers, and finally imitated the tone of the Jade Pure Realm sect leader and said "old monk" What he said from the bottom of his heart when he was alone, "Damn it, except for me, from master to fellow disciples, they are all a bunch of crooked people."

When Yun Jie heard this, he just laughed it off.

Yun Jie's preaching master, the previous owner of Jiuzhen Immortal Pavilion, was once a close friend of Nan Guangzhao on the mountain. The two old monks often traveled together before they entered the Ascension Realm, and the two sides were almost inseparable. Because Yun Jie's master, when he was in the same place as Nan Guangzhao, was always more like a helper, so much so that there was always a sarcastic saying about Nan Guangzhao's "shadow" on the top of the mountain in Middle Earth.

Now things have turned around.

Yun Jie no longer had the white jade Ganoderma lucidum that she always carried with her, so she replaced it with a snow-white whisk.

The Taoist monk in front of me was once the unnamed disciple of the master. Yun Jie was able to successfully take over the position of the leader of the hall with the Jade Pu realm and secure her position. She secretly contributed a lot.

Because she successfully entered the immortal realm a few years ago, she created a Nine True Immortal Pavilion, a pair of Taoists and two immortals.

Dayong Cui Dynasty has had the custom of hairpins throughout the country since ancient times, and it has a good relationship with the blessed land of flowers.

There is another news here that only circulates on the top of the mountain. It is said that the founding emperor of the Great Yong Dynasty once blocked a "storm" for Baihua Paradise.

The Jiuzhen Immortal Pavilion is firmly in the top spot among the immortal mansions on the mountain in the Dayong Dynasty. Unfortunately, within the Dayong Dynasty, there is a Zhuolu Song family that is even more powerful than the Jiuzhen Immortal Pavilion.

After the death of Master Yun Jie, Jiuzhen Immortal Hall gradually became a vassal of the Song family.

I think back in those days, when the Jiuzhen Immortal Pavilion was at its peak, including the Master, one ascended Immortal, Three Yupu, plus four worshipers and guest ministers, there were nine monks of the upper five realms in the Patriarch Hall at the same time!

In the Middle-earth Divine Continent, they are all well-deserved top sects.

Every ten years, the Song family in Zhuolu would send a group of their children and their children to practice here. At that time, any direct descendant of the Jiuzhen Immortal Pavilion’s Patriarch Hall would be a guest at the Paradise of Hundred Flowers.

Wei Zi asked: "Where is Meishan Sword Sect?"

Yun Jie shook his head and said: "Don't think too much, so as not to add any unnecessary fuss."

Meishan Sword Sect's Xu Xin Yuan is the granddaughter of the sect leader and a close disciple of an old master. She was even relegated to Liuzhou in Immortal Mountain and held high esteem. Originally, Yun Jie planned for Li Qingzhu and Xu Xin Yuan to become Taoist couples on the mountain. The two sects Marriage, striving to acquire the Meishan Sword Sect within three to five hundred years, but now Yun Jie has completely given up on this idea.

Wei Zi glanced at the table and smiled: "Why are you still reading these two newspapers? Don't you get tired of them?"

They are two Shanshui Di newspapers from Shanhaizong.

Yun Jie smiled and said, "Forget it if outsiders don't know. Why do you have to ask?"

Wei Zi suppressed her smile and asked cautiously: "What if someone were to visit Jiuzhen Immortal Pavilion someday?"

For some reason, when thinking of this person, Wei Zi would have an indescribable lingering fear. As a ghost cultivator in the immortal realm, Wei Zi believed that even if he faced the Great Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain, he would not be like this. As for this strange state of mind, Wei Zi never even expressed it to Taoist companion Yun Qi, just like a dispensable knot in his mind.

Yun Jie was silent.

In the battle of Yuanyangzhu, Immortal Yunqi and the unidentified young swordsman were fighting back and forth. At first, everyone regarded it as a joke, but when they found out that the swordsman in blue was actually the last generation of the Great Wall of Sword Qi After becoming an official, what was originally a big joke turned out to be the Jiuzhen Immortal Pavilion and Immortal Yunqi, and he accomplished a feat that was not too big or too small. It was not a big deal, it was a big fight between a Jade Sword Cultivator and an Immortal. , of course it can’t compare to the two-ascension mountain-top fight between Nen Taoist and Nan Guangzhao later, which is not small, because the Qingshan Sword Immortal is a hidden official.

But Yun Jie felt that the so-called "mountain top" contest was completely different from his own, and the degree of danger involved was not worthy of being compared with his own.

Feat?

of course!

I, Yunqiao, am in Yuanyangzhu, having a question with Mr. Zheng of Baidi City!

You guys who are watching the fun know nothing.

Yun Jie glanced at the newspaper on the desk, which contained a series of deeds of the young hermit official in the wild world.

That Mr. Zheng from Baidi City is indeed a Fourteenth Realm monk.

It is a small regret that the truth will not be revealed to the two worlds in this way. I believe that there are already some discerning people who know this matter like myself.

Otherwise, he is just a young hermit official who is a swordsman in the Jade Pure Realm, can he really cause such a series of shocking things in the wild world?

Some secrets are like a book. Because you cherish it so much, you don't want to lend it to others to read.

If that "young hidden official" comes to Jiuzhen Immortal Pavilion, Yun Jie will certainly be willing to cooperate with Zheng Juzhong to continue acting.

What's more, Mr. Zheng can't help Yun Jie if he doesn't want to?

In comparison, Yun Jie sincerely felt that the realm and mentality of the two sides were too different.

Luzhou in the north is the boundary of Sanlang Temple.

In Luzhou, Beiju, Sanlang Temple is as famous as Henjian Mountain.

One is the largest weapons shop, which only talks about futons made secretly by Sanlang Temple. Which fairy house in the continent doesn't have a few?

As for Ling Bao Jia, the only one in the world, it is not as famous as the military armor pill, but it is better because of its low price and high quality.

Moreover, the military monks from Sanlang Temple who are proficient in casting are famously not fond of fighting, and... can fight.

At a Xianjia ferry, there was a tall middle-aged man. After finishing his work, he walked alone on the bustling streets. He met those Qi practitioners who had their eyes high above their heads, and even the king of heaven had to give way to me. The man took two steps around, wearing a thick cotton-padded jacket and an old mink hat. He lowered his head and breathed. Finally, he came to an alley, which was a familiar small restaurant. Seeing that there was no empty seat inside, the man put his hands in his sleeves. , habitually hunched over and waiting in the alley outside the door.

After finally waiting for a table to be vacant, a group of guests happened to come to the door. The tall man hesitated, raised his hand, and was about to speak, but quickly put it down again. Among the group of guests who got there first, there was a guy who crossed the threshold. , and deliberately turned his head to look at the man at the door. The tall man smiled, reached out and pressed his mink hat, not caring about anything, of course, it was more like he didn't dare to care about anything.

After waiting at the door for a while, the man looked towards the alley, waved and shouted: "Xiao Xuan, this way."

The young man complained: "Uncle Liu, it's so easy to find. Why did you choose a fly restaurant that I don't even know about?"

The young man, who was called Xiaoxuan by the men, was wearing a mud-gold robe, and the young man was followed by two attendants, an old man with a thin appearance, wearing a black robe. The old man saw the tall man at the door of the restaurant and smiled. Nodding in greeting, the two parties were old acquaintances, and both parties were swordsmen. The reason why he was able to join Sanlang Temple was due to the secret recommendation of the other family.

The female attendant, carrying a bow and sword, was in her forties, but her appearance still looked young. For a warrior from the Far Traveling Realm, she was considered a very young age.

The man walked forward quickly, smiled and clasped his fists, "Brother Liu, Miss Fan."

The old man nodded and smiled: "Brother Liu."

The woman surnamed Fan immediately returned the greeting with clasped fists and said, "I have met Liu Jianxian."

The man looked helpless and said: "Isn't it right to curse? Just follow Xiao Xuan and call Uncle Liu."

The woman smiled, the other party was polite, of course she couldn't really be so ignorant of etiquette.

After all, this dull-looking man is a long-established Nascent Soul realm sword cultivator, and has been to the Great Wall of Sword Qi, but unfortunately he failed to break through there and become a Jade Pu.

The young man sighed: "Uncle Liu, I haven't seen you for many years."

The man smiled and said, "They are all cultivators. Less than twenty years is nothing."

This Uncle Liu went to the Sword Qi Great Wall very early when Yuan Xuan was still a child.

The reason why I was so impressed was, of course, that this elder from Luoma River looked nothing like a sword cultivator.

He doesn't look like the monk Luzhou in Beiju at all, and he doesn't look like a rich man at all!

There was an empty table in the small restaurant, so the man took the lead and walked in. The gray-haired old shopkeeper was an ordinary person who had never practiced spiritual practice. Of course, he could not recognize a customer who had been to the restaurant more than 20 years ago.

Soon someone recognized the young man's identity. The group of diners who had snatched a seat earlier found out that this useless person was sitting at the same table as Yuan Xuan. Without saying a word, they dropped their money and ran away.

If you don't hit me, I won't apologize. Both of us will just pretend that nothing happened, so as not to say we are wrong and get beaten more.

Yuan Xuan laughed and asked: "Is there a festival?"

The man shook his head and said, "Nothing."

Yuan Xuan complained: "When I was leaving, my great-grandfather was still talking about you, saying that you didn't understand etiquette. There was no reason to leave the gift and run away."

The Uncle Liu in front of me is Liu Xu of Luomahe, and Luomahe and Sanlang Temple are family friends on the mountain, and they have always had a good relationship. The old family heads on both sides have been close friends since they were young.

The man and Yuan Xuan asked about their tastes and whether they had any dietary restrictions. Seeing that they were very casual, they ordered a few signature dishes as they were familiar with each other and said with a smile: "There are many guests in your house every day. I don't know if I encounter those half-cooked dishes." What should I say, anyway, Grandpa Yuan knows my temper."

Yuan Xuan smiled and said: "Uncle Liu, Qingshenshan wine is really hard to buy now."

Liu Xu nodded.

The young man said cheerfully: "With great difficulty, I managed to find the Supreme Emperor from the Xuanmi Dynasty through my connections, and then I bought two altars!"

The man smiled and said: "It's good stuff for doing business. The expenses are recorded in the account, so just take it out now. We'll just drink it today."

Yuan Xuan said in surprise: "Just drink here?"

Liu Xu asked back: "If you don't pick people when you drink, how can you pick the place? What's the truth?"

Only then did Yuan Xuan take out two jars of Qingshenshan wine from something nearby. As expected, Liu Xu removed the mud seals, asked for three more wine bowls from the store clerk, and began to pour wine for the three of them.

For a time, the whole small restaurant was filled with the aroma of wine.

The female martial artist smiled knowingly.

It seems to be different from the outside rumors.

Liu Xu once wielded a sword alone, and his sword light spanned a dynasty and several vassal states, demolishing seven or eight ancestral halls along the way.

It is said that Liu Xu once held a sword with one hand and slapped the emperor's cheek several times with the sword blade, telling him not to bully honest people.

Liu Xu picked up the wine bowl and toasted the three of them with a bowl of wine first, but he still did not forget to ask Yuan Xuanyou to drink some before drinking.

Yuan Xuan didn't drink much, and he didn't go out with Uncle Liu. He just took a sip of wine, then winked and said, "Uncle Liu, you don't show your true face."

Liu Xu smiled bitterly. Know what the other person is talking about.

That time I was really drunk. Although it was not a mistake that would lead to eternal regrets, now in my hometown, I am often laughed at.

As for me, who has always been a good drinker, the reason why I got drunk is because the second shopkeeper told the truth after drinking. He said that he had traveled to Luzhou, Beiju, and encountered some good and bad things during the period, but to Talking about the atmosphere on the mountain, look at the whole world... The second shopkeeper's eyes were bright at that time, and he gave Liu Xu a thumbs up and said this.

Liu Xu was convinced at this moment, so he ordered an extra jug of wine. He put the jug against the second shopkeeper's wine bowl, touched it lightly, and drank it directly.

After that, the second shopkeeper put his arm around his shoulders and said, Brother Liu, are you trying to support your brother?

Liu Xu said that he didn't know how to do this, but the second shopkeeper said that there was a ready-made one, so he just copied it, and he knew how to write. After all, he was the young master of Luomahe.

At that time, I was drunk and dizzy, so Liu Xu agreed, and that's how I got the "Nothing" card. The next day I sobered up and went to the shop to read the contents. I thought it was pretty good at the time.

Yuan Xuan held the bowl in both hands and said with a bright smile: "Should I wish that Uncle Liu will be the head of the family without any suspense?"

"Do you know how to open and lift a certain pot?"

Liu Xu said angrily: "You drink yours, I won't drink this bowl of wine."

Luomahe owned a cross-continental ferry for business on the Aaizhou side. After it was requisitioned by the Confucian Temple, another one was quickly purchased. As a result, Luomahe took the initiative to hand it over to the Confucian Temple.

It is said that it was Liu Xu's idea. In the family ancestral hall, they fought against all opinions and the quarrel got serious. One of the elders asked, "Are you, Liu Xu, the head of the family now?"

In fact, the entire Liu family's sixteenth house in Luomahe knew one thing very well. Liu Xu had not been interested in the position of head of the family since he was a child. And who in the Liu family didn't want Liu Xu, the most popular person, to succeed as the head of the family?

Liu Xu probably got involved at that time and said on the spot, "Can you stop me from becoming the head of the family?"

In the end, the elder just said, "Okay, it's settled, I can't stop it and I won't stop it!"

Good guy, I bet the whole ancestral hall is waiting for Liu Xu’s words.

In the words of the old family owner, it was a good deal to exchange a ferry for a family owner.

However, Liu Xu had reached an agreement with his grandfather, and he had to wait until he reached the Jade Pu realm before he could take charge of family affairs.

Of course, Sanlang Temple knew about this matter. The old head of the Liu family had already sent a letter with his sword to show off to his old friend.

Liu Xu suddenly asked: "I heard that Miss Fan has been to the southern battlefield?"

The female martial artist named Fan Yu looked a little guilty, nodded and said: "I don't have much effort, it's just a formality, I'll punish myself."

Liu Xu raised the wine bowl and said: "I am the same at the Sword Qi Great Wall, so let's all go together."

Fan Yu once went to the Capital Battlefield in the middle of Aquarius Continent alone, where he entered the Far Traveling Realm from the Golden Body Realm. It's just that she almost didn't return to her hometown alive. Once she was unfortunately trapped in a tight siege on the battlefield and was covered in blood. She was secretly targeted by a mountain warrior from the wild demon clan. When her life was hanging by a thread, Fan Yu was killed by a man named Zheng Qian was rescued by the female Grand Master. To be precise, the female Grand Master nicknamed "Zheng Qingming" grabbed Fan Yu by the shoulder and threw him out of the battlefield.

Later, she made a special trip to the door to say thank you. At first, the senior was very polite, but that was all.

But after learning that Fan Yu came from the Sanlang Temple in Luzhou, Beiju, especially when Fan Yu claimed to be a retinue of Yuan Xuan from the Sanlang Temple, she still clearly remembers that scene. She saw Zheng Qian's eyes widened and a look on his face. Incredibly strange expression.

But Fan Yu didn't dare to ask any more questions at that time. After all, the other party was his savior, and he was also a great master who could challenge Cao Ci four times in a row.

Yuan Xuan put down the wine bowl and asked in a low voice: "Uncle Liu, are you familiar with Mr. Yin Guan?"

Liu Xu thought for a moment and said, "Fortunately, it's better than the kind of nodding acquaintance, and it's not a very good friend."

Liu Xu was neither short of money nor good at gambling. The second shopkeeper did not get involved in the business several times, and he was an unsmiling and boring man. When he went to the wine shop to drink, he could not be a wine bearer. Even with a small sum of money, a jar of Qingshenshan drinks, you can't even think about being taken advantage of by paying for it yourself. Don't imitate anyone else, but don't imitate the great swordsman of Fengxue Temple from Wei and Jin Dynasties.

What's more, apart from practicing swordsmanship, Liu Xu has never paid attention to things like food, clothing, housing and transportation in his life.

However, Liu Xu said that he and Chen Ping'an were just a little more than acquaintances, but Liu Xu was being modest and could not take it seriously. Every time Liu Xu went to the wine shop, as long as the second shopkeeper was present, he would take the initiative to invite Liu Xu to drink with him. Of course, I will ask very diligently every time if I would like a bottle of Qingshenshan wine. I managed to keep it for you. If you don’t drink it today, Wei Dajianxian will buy it again at the beginning of next month.

Yuan Xuan continued to ask: "I heard that his name is Chen Pingan, and he is from Aquarius Continent?"

"Um."

The old man and the female warrior looked at each other.

"Have you ever visited Luzhou, our northern capital?"

"I heard the second shopkeeper said this."

Yuan Xuan quickly took a sip of wine to suppress his shock.

Because back then, he, Grandpa Liu and Sister Fan traveled to the Ghost Valley and arrived at the Bronze Lake recorded in the "Anxiety Collection". Yuan Xuan went there for a rare spiritual creature called a fish with scales. Golden, with wings, and a sound like a mandarin duck. It is said that monks can eat it to avoid any nightmares, and an elder of Yuan Xuan's family just needs this thing. Yuan Xuan is obsessed with fishing, otherwise he would not be able to eat it at a young age. There will not be the reputation of "Yuan Yichi". Once the nest is made, the water will rise one foot.

There was a female nun in Sanlang Temple whom Yuan Xuande called his aunt. She was an accomplished monk, good at beautifying her face, and had an outstanding appearance. She was with Shuijingshan Lusui and Caique Mansion Sun Qing. To this day, she still admires the former master of Pianran Peak. Liu Jinglong. And these three fairies are among the top ten fairies in Beiju Luzhou. As for Sanlang Temple, he has been stagnant in the Nascent Soul Realm for many years and has been trapped by nightmares, so much so that he does not dare to retreat and break through the realm.

"What kind of person is Chen Yinguan?"

"Xiao Xuan, why do you ask these questions?"

"Just curious."

Hearing this, Liu Xu narrowed his eyes, stretched out his hand to cover the white bowl with half a bowl of wine, and said in a deep voice: "Yuan Xuan, either stop here, drinking is okay, or be careful with your next words."

The old swordsman surnamed Liu and Fan Yu, a far-reaching martial artist, both felt a sense of suffocation almost at the same time.

The old man is also a Yuanying realm sword cultivator, and has been in this realm for more years than Liu Xu. But until this moment, the old sword cultivator had to admit that there is a huge difference between himself and Luomahe sword cultivator Liu Xu. .

Just when Fan Yu was about to explain to the young man, Liu Xu looked sideways, and Fan Yu had no choice but to shut up.

Yuan Xuan didn't care at all about the sudden tense atmosphere and said with a smile: "Uncle Liu, you have to offer me a bowl of wine, because I met Chen Ping'an earlier than you!"

A young man once met a young ranger wearing a bamboo hat.

The other party was a pure martial artist, but he was wearing a robe at the time. But he seems to be a swordsman as well.

When the two parties parted, the other party once said with a smile, "My name is Chen Pingan, from Aquarius Continent."
