If You Can’t Be a Son-in-law, You Have To Be Sanctified

It seems that there are many tigers on Mount Taihua.

On the snow-covered mountain, the black tiger is quite eye-catching.

Ning Yandong saw it a few times while hunting from a distance, and reported it to the official when he returned to Taihua City.

But for some reason, the officials and staff in the city lord's mansion carefully recorded this matter, and then there was no more text.

Ning Yandong was afraid of those tigers hurting people, so he united more than a dozen hunters to hunt and kill tigers first.

They went there five or six times in half a winter, but they didn't see any trace of those ferocious tigers.

If it weren't for the fact that the hunters who went to hunt the tigers together were familiar with him and trusted him quite a bit, Ning Yandong would have no reason to make fun of them, and the hunting of tigers might not be possible five or six times.

Later, even Ning Yandong wondered if he was wrong, and with the coming of winter and spring, there was more greenery on Taihua Mountain, and the news that someone was swallowed by a tiger had never spread in Taihua City. Yan Dong gradually forgot about it.

The school next door to the City Lord's Mansion has finally opened.

The mysterious Mr. Lu who didn't know where he came from became Mr. Xuetang.

Interestingly, besides Mr. Lu, there are two other gentlemen in this school.

A gentleman surnamed Wei, named Wei Jingzhe, taught a subject of Confucian classics, all of which were enlightenment knowledge.

Another gentleman is called Shi Daiqing. He looks young, but he is tall and burly. When the children are studying, they play with this Mr. Shi and exercise their physique.

Dafu's family does not object to the physical exercise ritual.

After all, if you want to get good grades in the scientific examination, riding and shooting swordsmanship is indispensable, and it is always good to practice earlier.

As for Mr. Lu, he taught calligraphy and ink.

Ning Yandong's younger sister, Ning Zhuxia, also helps in the school, and from time to time enlightens with those children.

Over the past few days, she has also recited a hundred family names in the thousand-character script, and learned to write many characters, which surprised Ning Yandong.

It is precisely because of this reason that every time Ning Yandong goes hunting and has an excellent harvest, he will always send a lot to Mr. Lu.

Maybe it's because he is still young, Mr. Lu is never polite, and he seems to like eating these wild game very much. Sometimes when Ning Yandong meets Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu will take the initiative to ask Ning Yandong if he has any extra gains.

If it were someone else, Ning Yandong might think that Mr. Lu in this school likes to take advantage of it, but there are more than a hundred children taught in that school, and Mr. Lu doesn't charge a penny, and he will even take care of lunch during the day.

This incident caused an uproar in Taihua City. Taihua City can't be called rich, and too many people are just barely able to eat.

It’s fine if you can send your own children to the school to learn knowledge. After all, in the past few decades, Taihua City has been a rare talent, even scholars. The chief official's attitude towards Taihua City has always been dispensable, so the people here don't expect their children to change their lives by studying.

But when the children go to school, they can take care of a meal at noon... For ordinary people in Taihua City, it is really a great thing.

All of a sudden, the elementary school next to the City Lord's Mansion was crowded with people.

It's a pity that Mr. Lu accepts students. Although he doesn't want to study, he still has to take the school exam.

Some children live too far away and cannot come to the school every day.

With so many reasons, there are still more than 260 children who come to class every day in this elementary school. There are so many Enlightenment Schools, not to mention in Taihua City, even in the entire Yuanshan Road. countable.

"Stupid children should actually study more, but it's a pity that this small courtyard is not big. Before the new library building is built, more smart children are taught. After the library is completed, these smart children can bring new children to study together. .”

Shi Daiqing took Xu Wugui to transport the last snow in the courtyard into the well.

Xu Wugui has grown a lot, and there is a small pendant around his neck.

The pendant is made of stone, and it is a stone man.

From time to time, Xu Wugui would hold the pendant and whisper to the stone man.

Although this child is young, he has a kind of tenacity, and he does not fail in reading, writing and practicing on weekdays.

Shi Daiqing is a figure in the army, and he likes such children the most, so these days, Shi Daiqing always takes Xu Wugui with him wherever he goes.

Xu Wugui would bring Zhao Ye with him when he went out.

"Zhaoye is Mr. Lu's mount. It's not good to be trapped in the courtyard all day. Taihua City is so big, although it is a bit barren, it is enough for Zhaoye to gallop."

Xu Wugui finished transporting the snow in the courtyard, and then washed the horses in the courtyard.

The soft brush brushed Zhao Ye's body, which seemed to make Zhao Ye quite satisfied.

"Zhaoye really likes you." Wei Jingzhe sat cross-legged under the eaves.

He was born as a groom, he used to raise horses in General Xuanwei's residence, so he naturally knew the habits of famous horses.

"The creatures in the world are born with great differences.

Even a famous horse like the Zhaoye Jade Lion could easily crack black iron with all its energy and blood, even if it was stabbed by innate warriors with spears, it would not be able to pierce its body.

But even though Zhao Ye is so tyrannical, his wisdom is still like a three or four year old child. "

"However, people, monsters, and demons, even if they have never practiced, their brains are very clear.

Another example is those real dragons, they don't even need to practice, they can grow hard scales, sharp fangs, and sharp dragon claws as long as they accumulate over time.

Even at the realm of Shenhuo, he can transform into a human form, which is simply loved by the world. "

Shi Daiqing sighed in his tone.

But Wei Jingzhe grinned: "It's a pity that these real dragons are ashamed of the love of the world. Although the world is vast, except for the demon kingdom on the sea and those special places, it is human beings who rule the world.

And...Xu Wugui, Zhuo Yaoluo, and Zhao Ye have eaten a lot of Dragon Pills made by True Dragon Balls. "

When Wei Jingzhe mentioned Longdan, Xu Wugui, who was wiping Zhaoye's body, stopped suddenly.

There was more worry on his face, and there was also miss in his expression.

"I don't know where sister Qingyue is at this time?" Xu Wugui said: "The wedding date between him and Mr. Lu has already been fixed, if it wasn't for the old man in the palace..."

When Xu Wugui said this, he was furious, and viciously threw the brush into the bucket, splashing water.

Wei Jingzhe hissed, probably because he was afraid that Lu Jing would hear it.

Shi Daiqing shook his head: "My lord just went out."

...

The female crown in yellow held a whisk in her hand and stretched her neck to look at Lu Jing at the foot of the mountain.

"City Lord Jiang, this is no child's play.

It is said that the eldest son of Beiqin is one of the best craftsmen in the world, and he is best at forging murder weapons.

The fiery chariot under the Candle Throne was forged by the eldest son of Beiqin.

In addition, the eldest son of the Northern Qin Dynasty entered Taoism by casting tools, but in fact he practiced the method of swallowing breath. During the spiritual tide decades ago, there were not a few immortals and geniuses who died in his hands.

There are even rumors that the son of the lord of Langfeng City was killed by the eldest son of Northern Qin. At that time, Qin was not as powerful as it is now. Emperor Chongtian even rewarded the Candle King for raising a good son. .

For such a person, it's fine to invite others to drink. Mr. Lu Jing is now a favorite, extremely talented, and there are very few people in the younger generation who can stand shoulder to shoulder with him, so why bother to take risks on that wild mountain. "

While talking, the young female crown in yellow had a little more blush on her face.

As soon as Jiang Xianshi saw the expression of the female crown in yellow, he knew that she, like the old female crown, was happy to look at beautiful people.

"Lord Dragon Crown, it's really rude of you to stare at Mr. Lu Jing like this."

Jiang Xianshi whispered: "Of course I don't want Mr. Lu to go to the Great Barren Mountain.

The eldest prince of Beiqin was unparalleled in arrogance. He used to sneak into the Landa Temple in disguise, hoping to meet the mysterious Ksitigarbha Buddha for a while.

Emperor Banyan woke up from his dream and revealed the identity of the eldest son of Beiqin, but he was unwilling to retreat, and stayed in front of Mount Lantuo for thirty-six days until Ksitigarbha Buddha walked down the mountain gate to discuss the Tao with him. "

The Dragon Crown Lord on Taihua Mountain said disapprovingly: "Then let that eldest son come by himself and just ignore his invitation.

It was much better to meet the eldest son of Beiqin on Mount Taihua than to go to the Great Barren Mountain. "

Jiang Xianshi smiled wryly: "Young Master Beiqin is arrogant, but Mr. Lu Jing is not an ordinary master.

"Both of these two are famous figures in the world. Mr. Lu Jing has seen the name of the eldest son of Beiqin in countless miscellaneous notes. At this time, the eldest son is inviting me. I think Mr. Lu Jing seems to be moved."

"Besides... In my opinion, the reason why Young Master Beiqin invited Mr. Lu Jing is probably because he wanted to win over Mr. Lu Jing."

The female crown in yellow saw Lu Jing talking to a hunter at the foot of the mountain from a distance, and gradually disappeared into the mist, and replied: "What is there to worry about? What kind of heart is Mr. Lu Jing? The Legalists of the Northern Qin Dynasty were in power. Mr. Lu Jing will definitely not agree to that Mr. Qin."

"If we can't win over, I'm afraid that the eldest son has the intention to kill.

Many years ago, during the first battle when the Heavenly Official came to the world, he made a move in a vain attempt to kill Chong'an Wang Yuganyi. Jiang Xianshi was worried: "Because Mr. Lu is here, the pulse of Taihua has gradually recovered, and it is much thicker than before. If something happens to Mr. Lu..."

When Jiang Xianshi said this, he let out another long sigh.

"It's a pity that my cultivation base is too weak, and there is still a long distance from the realm of heaven and man.

If there is no spiritual tide coming, I'm afraid I won't be able to step into the eighth realm, otherwise I can accompany Mr. Lu there. "

Lord Dragon Crown turned around and looked at Jiang Xianshi.

The yellow Taoist robe on her body moved with the wind, and there was a sudden realization on her face.

"City Lord Jiang, although I am young, I am not stupid, no wonder you came to find me today and talked to me so much.

It turned out to be an idea of ​​my master's relic. "

Jiang Xianshi smiled calmly, and said: "After all, the Taoist Temple of Huangwa is also a Taoist temple of Taihua Mountain, and it is Master Ni's last wish to restore the veins of Taihua to its original state.

You take Huangwa Fuchen to accompany Mr. Lu Jing on a walk through the Great Barren Mountain, and after you come back, the City Lord's Mansion will pay you to repair the Taoist temple. "

Lord Longguan shook his head like a rattle.

"This is impossible. Once a treasure like Huangwa Fuchen is looked down upon by others, how can I protect it with my cultivation?"

Jiang Xianshi looked at the too gentle female crown in yellow, and hated iron for not being strong: "You have such a treasure as the whisk, and you are the only person in the world who can control this treasure, and you are afraid that others will snatch it.

Whoever comes to snatch your whisk, you will smash his head with the whisk. "

Lord Dragon Crown nodded blankly, it seems that this is indeed the case.

Besides...Mr. Lu Jing is really good-looking, and it is a great thing to be able to travel with him.

On weekdays, looking at the scenery on the road together with Mr. Lu Jing's face, Lord Dragon Crown feels pleasing to the eye just thinking about it.

But immediately the Dragon Crown Lord became timid again.

She is only eighteen or nineteen years old, and she has never traveled far in her life.

Although the Great Barren Mountain was not too far away, it was enough for Lord Dragon Crown to panic.

"If you want me to say, Mr. Lu Jing can go there if he wants, Dahuang Mountain is just in front of Chong'an Sanzhou.

What is the relationship between Mr. Lu and Chong'an Sanzhou? When he went to Chong'an Sanzhou, he was naturally escorted by Yu Dongshen's troops.

Then how could it be possible that the eldest son of Northern Qin wanted to kill Mr. Lu Jing on the Great Barren Mountain? "

Lord Dragon Crown has made up a lot of rumors about Mr. Lu Jing these days, and knows a lot about Mr. Lu.

Jiang Xianshi coughed lightly, and said: "There are not many good people in this world, Mr. Lu has obtained the authority of heaven and earth.

Haven't you noticed that whether it's the Yuanshan Road or the Northwest Road, or even the neighboring Mi Country in the Western Regions, since Mr. Lu came here, there has been more rain in spring.

With him there, no matter whether it is the Yuanshan Road or the Northwest Road, there must be a good harvest.

In today's war-torn days, there can be another good harvest. "

"But if he dies, the power to call the wind and the rain will become a cloud. You can walk with Mr. Lu Jing and protect him, which is a great contribution to the world."

"You have contributed a lot to the world. Maybe when the spiritual tide comes, a Dao fruit tree will grow in your Taoist temple..."

Lord Dragon Crown looked at City Lord Jiang with wide eyes: "Isn't the City Lord opening his eyes and talking nonsense? If the Daoguo tree grows so easily, why would the immortals come to the world to plunder the spiritual tide fruit?"

Jiang Xianshi was about to persuade him again.

But the female crown shook her head and said: "Forget it, no matter what, Mr. Lu Jing has done enough mending for this dilapidated world.

Whether it is the matter of the river middle way, or the matter of slaying the dragon, or he is calling the wind and rain in the Yuanshan way and the Northwest way, all of them have great merits and virtues. "

"Master actually left me a yellow tile whisk. It should be for me to hold this whisk and sweep away the filth in the world. If I always hide this whisk in the Taoist temple, this whisk will be regarded as the most precious treasure in the world."

...

"Mr. Lu Jing is going to the Great Barren Mountain?"

Ning Yandong, who just came out to hunt, frowned when he met Mr. Lu Jing on the mountain road.

A longbow was slung across his broad back, and a dagger was worn at his waist.

"Taihua Mountain is going to Dahuang Mountain. If you want to get closer, you have to go through Shicheng, cross Xiaoxue Mountain, and then pass through Yumen Pass to reach Dahuang Mountain.

It's just that the half of the Great Barren Mountain is like a desperate situation. Relying on the divine pass, the monster mist covers the sky, not to mention ordinary people, even practitioners in the sixth and seventh realms can hardly get through it. "

"Alternatively, sir, you can pass through Hexi, then go through Yuanshan Mansion, go straight to Chong'an Sanzhou, and go to Dahuang Mountain via Chong'an Sanzhou.

It's a pity that Chong'an Sanzhou and Beiqin confronted each other in front of Dahuang Mountain for some time, and the Shazhou Pass had already been locked, and no one was allowed to pass through to Dahuang Mountain.

Mr. Lu Jing, why do people from Dafu insist on going to the Great Barren Mountain? "

Lu Jing smiled and said, "Fifteen days later, someone made an appointment with me to meet on Dahuang Mountain."

Ning Yandong was somewhat skeptical: "Sir, are you dissatisfied with Dafu? Has the imperial court not reused you? Are you going to vote for Northern Qin?"

"Sir, you may not know Beiqin, but Beiqin really doesn't treat people as human beings, especially for a scholar like you, it's nothing more than being an official in Beiqin and being favored by a first-class county guard.

If no one uses you, sooner or later someone will kill you.

In that place, the word learning is useless. "

Lu Jing waved his hand and said, "It's not because I voted for Bei Qin, I went to the appointment, met him and then came back..."

"Mr. Lu, I'll accompany you."

"What?" Lu Jing was a little stunned: "Didn't you just say that the road is full of thorns, but it's not easy?"

Ning Yandong laughed, and said: "I have cultivated all my energy and blood, but it's a pity that I have never traveled far in my life while guarding this remnant pillar of Taihua.

Now is a good time to accompany Mr. Lu on a journey.

A learned person like Mr. Lu is too important to Taihua City. If you encounter villains on the way, or encounter monsters, or encounter danger on the Great Barren Mountain, and never return...then the school The children in the middle school will not be able to learn. "

Lu Jingdao: "For the people in Taihua City, learning is actually of little use."

"Naturally it is useful." Ning Yandong said decisively, "Let's not talk about the change of the imperial examination, after reading the book, I understand a lot of principles, I understand a lot of learning, and I can see it more clearly.

not to mention……"

When Ning Yandong said this, he looked down at the earth again, as if he was looking at Mount Taihua.

"There have been legends about the Tianzhu on Mount Taihua for too long. Many people on Mount Taihua have guarded this barren mountain from generation to generation, and they are guarding this Tianzhu.

But this Tianzhu has been dilapidated for too long, and I always feel that it will never stand up again.

So I always think that no matter how difficult it is for our generation to leave Taihua Mountain, it’s okay to stay in Taihua Mountain for the rest of our life.

But it would be a pity for the younger generation and even those children to waste their lives in this barren land. "

"After reading the book, seeing the world in the book, knowing how to read, and then going down the mountain, it will not be so difficult to see the world in the world."

"As for this Mount Taihua... we people just need to guard it for a while. The younger generation has practiced martial arts and read books, so don't stay here anymore."

Ning Yandong opened his mouth and smiled.

Lu Jing looked at his dark face and asked, "Did you ever think about leaving Taihua Mountain when you were young?"

"Naturally I thought about it." Ning Yandong said: "It's a pity that my old father still hid a remnant stone of Tianzhu at that time. I have never been hungry in my life.

This is already considered a kindness, and I should actually guard Taihua Mountain for a while. "

"Jiang Xianshi should have thought the same way." Lu Jing said to himself, and then he smiled and said to Ning Yandong: "Although the world is big, with the skill of a strong man, he can go anywhere.

The reason why I didn't leave Taihua Mountain was only because of self-restraint, but also because of the obsession in my heart...

If one day, Taihua Mountain no longer needs to be guarded, where would the strong man want to go? "

Ning Yandong replied: "I have been on Mount Taihua all my life, I have never traveled far, and I don't know where the scenery in the world is good."

Lu Jing suddenly smiled: "There is a rapeseed field in the three prefectures of Chong'an, which stretches over thousands of acres, and the flowering period is from January to March every year.

Someone once told me that once it blooms there, it will be a real sea of ​​flowers, which is too beautiful to behold.

We are starting now, stopping and going all the way to the Great Barren Mountain, just in time to take a look at the scenery of the rapeseed field in the Sanzhou of Chong'an. "

Ning Yandong nodded and whistled.

Suddenly, a black hunting dog ran along the mountain road.

Ning Yandong bowed his head and said a few words to the hunting dog, the hunting dog stuck out its tongue and wagged its tail and tugged at Ning Yandong's sleeve.

Following Ning Yandong's whistle again, the hunting dog ran away along the mountain road again.

"In this way, I won't be afraid that my sister will worry."

Ning Yandong untied the longbow behind him, and fastened the short knife around his waist again.

He also saw the sword on Lu Jing's waist, and thought that the sword was very beautiful.

"Mr. Lu's sword is still the same as in the past, but the scholar's sword is more chic and suave.

Why is he still wearing a knife? Could it be that Mr. also practiced a knife? "

"A little bit." Lu nodded.

Ning Yandong glanced at Lu Jing up and down, and said with a smile: "Although I can't understand Mr. Lu's cultivation, I always feel that Mr. Lu must be an extraordinary person.

So if you go to the Great Barren Mountain alone, I don't think that Mr. Wang is just dreaming. "

"A few miles further down is the home of an old acquaintance of mine. He has a fine horse at home, which happens to be used by the husband."

"I have a horse." Lu Jing pointed to the rocks in the distance.

Behind the rocks, the sound of horseshoes sounded.

Zhao Ye, who ran away from the courtyard, came to Lu Jing.

"What a horse!" Ning Yandong's eyes lit up: "I often see this horse in the yard."

Lu Jing smiled and said, "This is a big gift from my sworn brother. It will accompany me for a long time."

The two got on their horses.

Lu Jing, who originally wanted to walk alone, did not even let Shi Daiqing lead the tiger-riding soldiers to protect him, but finally brought an Orion on Taihua Mountain with him.

The Orion on Taihua Mountain finally went down the mountain.

This is the first time in my life.

In front of the Huangwa Taoist temple, Lord Dragon Crown took out a somewhat worn-out whisk.

She took this whisk and followed Lu Jing.

When the whisk left Taihua Mountain.

In Daleiyin Temple, there is a woman with luxurious temperament, wearing a gauze dress, glamorous, with a golden mark between her eyebrows, she opened her eyes from meditation.

Behind this woman, there is still a round of Buddha's light reflected.

That is the light of the Ksitigarbha Wheel of Daleiyin Temple.

Lu Jing once went to the top of the sky with the help of the Great Buddha of Daleiyin Temple, the Lord of Zhenwu Mountain, Yuan Jiulang, and Yuye Sheren. The primordial spirit of this girl.

Now in the Great Leiyin Temple, the girl woke up from her practice.

Behind her, there is a female officer who is equally luxuriously dressed and bows to speak to her.

"The magic weapon of Yuanshen is quite rare, and the dust whisk is the treasure of my Gantong Temple in Nanzhao, and it is a pity to enter the secular world.

Now that there are traces of this magic weapon, we naturally have to take a look. "

The girl's eyes were a little excited: "If I can get back the Gantong Whisk, wouldn't I be teaching my brothers to feel ashamed?"

Behind the girl with an extraordinary background, the female official laughed softly: "The princess got the opportunity from Cangshan Mountain, and also got the true biography of the great Buddha in the world, and realized the Buddha's light of the Ksitigarbha Wheel.

People in the world only know that there is Zhongshan Marquis Jing Wushuang, the Great Prince of Beiqin, Gongsun Suyi, Chongan Sanzhou Yudongshen, and that young Jianjia Lu Jing, but they don't know that there are princesses and other people in the world. .

The princess only needs to return to the palace, and the princes will naturally feel ashamed. "

The Nanzhao princess was very satisfied, and with a wave of her hand, she set off from the Daleiyin Temple.

There is always some inexplicable attraction between Tianjiao and Tianjiao.

For example, the eldest son of Beiqin invited a bronze invitation card, but he invited Lu Jing, who had a fearless sword and astonishing courage.

And following behind Lu Jing was a female crown holding a treasure.

Princess Nanzhao, who got a great chance, followed the trail of the whisk and entered the three prefectures of Chong'an.

And in the rapeseed fields in the three prefectures of Chong'an.

Lu Jing and Ning Yandong stood side by side, and they saw a sea of ​​flowers from afar...

Such a sea of ​​flowers can only be described as spectacular, it is so bright that it cannot be seen at a glance.

There are long white clouds in the sky, mountains stand in the distance, and several majestic and majestic cities stand on the side.

Ning Yandong was so engrossed in watching it, he lamented the magnificence of nature because of this sea of ​​flowers, and also lamented the ingenuity of the craftsmen of Chong'an Sanzhou because of the towering cities.

The Dragon Crown Lord was a little timid after all.

Lu Jing was too attractive. She was carrying a strange treasure, so she didn't go with Lu Jing out of fear, but followed him far behind.

Anyway, in her mind, all she had to do was keep Lu Jing alive.

And on the Great Barren Mountain.

Northern Qin Gongsun Suyi, Young Master Wuji, several young Northern Qin nobles, and the mysterious eldest son are all here.

The eldest son of Beiqin is releasing the deer.

It was a white deer, with soft hair and a compelling luster. The blue eyes, towering antlers, and strong body all reflected the extraordinaryness of this white deer.

"Lu Jing didn't respond, so he didn't dare to come."

Mr. Wuji sat cross-legged on the futon and spoke slowly.

Beside him, another young man in armor was eating horse meat.

"If you want me to say, there is no need to keep the white deer meat, we just eat it.

Horse meat is still too light compared to venison. "

The armored youth said: "If I were Lu Jing in Bailishi, I wouldn't dare to come to Dahuangshan."
