Sword of Coming

A place of water and soil nourishes a person, and there are nine continents in the vastness. As time goes by, one place has something that can overwhelm it, such as the ten thousand-year-old sycamore tree in Tongyezhou.

The same is true for Aquarius Continent, whose mountains and rivers are shaped like water bottles.

Deep in the earth's veins, there is a realm of Taixu with many restrictions. It is boundless. Except for the two opposing parties, there is a square iron box covered with ancient seal characters hanging in the air. There is a simple pallet like a wooden board below the wooden box. The iron box is Rise in vain.

Xie Gou sat cross-legged in this Taixu realm, with his arms folded across his chest, his eyes showing approval, and he said in an old-fashioned way: "Unlock the two layers of landscape restrictions, and rely on magic weapons and brute force to break through the third layer. You have been able to get here. It's a pretty good record. Isn't there an allusion in the book about visiting friends on a snowy night? You can come here and come back having fun. Look, it's snowing, a big snow."

She said it was snowing, and it was snowing.

Friends and foes were still divided, so Song Xu reminded the other five people in his heart not to rush to take action.

How dare you take it lightly when facing a great monk who is able to conceal his Qi and follow him all the way here? Five monks from the Earthly Branches lineage are now standing ready. Yu Yu, who has a waistband with the word "Xu" hanging on her waist, puts her hands together in a formation. The precious light glowed, and the back of her hand was covered with cloud-patterned ancient seals. Then, on one of her shoulders, an ancient sword immortal Yin Shen with a young appearance appeared, with a compact figure, wearing a hibiscus Taoist crown, a sword and a red robe, white in color. Beads embellished seams.

The master of the "Wu" formation, Han Zhoujin, didn't need to make any incantations to create a fairy palace with red mountains and rising purple air. Inside, there were spiritual treasures singing praises like the sounds of nature.

The young monk is wearing a plain gauze Zen robe, with a "Chen" sign hanging on his waist. He makes dharma seals with his hands, opens one eye and closes the other. A pond of thunder rises where the eyes are closed, and a lotus pond appears at his feet.

Xie Gou clicked his tongue and said in wonder: "Using the methods of a sewing man, he committed an act of transgression. He dared to order the ghost of an ancient sword immortal to refine an ancient immortal's place of governance over the mountains and rivers. The young monk's pure thoughts Think about it, with your eyes open and closed, you can use this to connect the yin and yang and the ethereal light. A practitioner of Buddhism can even learn the five thunder dharma of the stinky cow nose. You are all very powerful. Talents are all talents. , a well-deserved young handsome man!"

Yu Yu said from the bottom of his heart: "Damn it, let's do some fortune-telling quickly and test the depth to see where it's coming from. If you can't beat it, run away. Anyway, we can bring in reinforcements later."

It is impossible to determine the true age of this girl in the mink hat. She must have started in the upper five realms, and she is also a monk who has not been recorded in the Great Li Xing Department. This is very strange. Could it be a foreign monk who has just sneaked into Aquarius Continent?

The little novice monk clasped his hands together and muttered, "Buddha, I hope nothing will happen today. Even if there is a surprise, there will be no danger. Everyone is safe. I will go to the temple later to donate sesame oil money. It is not a business, it is just a thought."

The uninvited guest with two rosy cheeks seemed to have heard their thoughts, and grinned: "Little Taoist priest, don't tell fortunes, it's just a waste of time. Anyway, they are my own family, and they are all relatives after all, so they will definitely not be able to fight." "

The young novice clasped his hands together again and said silently: "Buddha bless you."

I kicked the iron plate again and met an expert from this world.

If I had known earlier, I would have read the almanac before going out.

Yu Yu smiled and said: "Relatives, family members? What should I say, senior is not telling a joke, right?"

Xie Gou smiled and said, "It's up to you to believe it or not."

Sensing the strangeness of Taoist priest Ge Ling, Yu Yu said doubtfully: "It's just a fortune telling. It's normal to vomit blood, but why did you close your eyes? Hey, why are you crying?"

Ge Ling blinked his eyes, his eye sockets were bloodshot, and said helplessly: "It's very weird, like a big sun is so close, but you can't stand it just by looking at it."

Yu Yu said bitterly: "Come on, then it's still the result of chopping melons and vegetables."

Ge Ling smiled bitterly and nodded.

The other party is most likely an immortal.

Now Zhou Haijing, a mountain-level warrior, has filled the final gap. If all twelve of them were present, they would still be able to fight. Unfortunately, the six of Yuan Huajing were in Changchun Palace and did not go on the treasure hunt together.

Xie Gou sighed, "This is what happens if you don't listen to advice. If you don't listen to the old man's words, you will suffer the consequences 'in front of you'. Is the old saying true?"

"We are currently unable to contact Yuan Huajing and the others, and Mr. Chen is not here either. What should we do?"

The girl stamped her foot, "Do you really want to drink?!"

Previously in Gaiyan's inn, Mr. Chen "preached" to each of them to eliminate hidden dangers so as to avoid encountering inner demons in the future. Only when they came to Yu Yu, Chen Ping'an gave her three words: drink more.

The leader of their small mountain is swordsman Song Xu, and the think tank and military advisor is the seemingly carefree Yu Yu.

Xie Gou had a relaxed expression and pointed at the box, "I urge you not to open this iron box. If you are not careful, the snow will melt in an instant, including people and souls. Don't feel a little bit. Don't take it seriously. This kind of soul is scattered and turned into ashes. Even if it is a great monk in the Ascension Realm or a few old antiques with great magical powers, they can find their way to Fengdu, but they will not be able to save you. I can't take it. If you hold the things in the box, it will fall to the ground. First, smash the wooden board that has lost the support of the formation. It is almost like smashing a piece of iron against tissue paper. It will only rumble all the way through the Aquarius continent and fall into the deep sea. The water is boiling at the base of the mountain, causing the entire Aquarius Continent to be like a steamer. The mountains and rivers of the continent are devastated, and you alone are not strong enough to survive."

Fortunately, I came early. If it were a step later and the box was pocketed by these kids, then the true ownership of this thing would be a confusing matter.

What's more, Xie Gou really doesn't think they can take away the iron box. Her words just now are not completely alarmist. The newborn golden crow imprisoned in the box belongs to an ancient alien species, an extremely rare genus of fire spirits. It is naturally unruly and unruly. , once the shackles of the outside world are broken, and these monks have no means to clean up the mess, they will be smashed through the roots of the Aquarius continent by the Golden Crow, leaving a big hole in the "ground", and then disappear without a trace and escape into the sky. It's too weak, and if you want to capture it, it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky.

Song Xu twisted his wrist, and a bottle-shaped treasure appeared in his hand, "We are not completely unprepared. This junior has this thing that can capture the strange treasure in the box."

This object was given to Song Xu by Mr. Yuan, the Qintian Supervisor, and this object was excavated from a brand-new blessed land just discovered by the Dali court.

The discovery of a blessed land, the discovery of treasures inside, and the interconnection of Yuzhou's earth veins with the "Golden Crow" in the box are all attributed to Yuan Tianfeng's deduction and careful calculation.

The emperor and the sky face the back earth, and the god of the earth pulls the water bottle. The windlass in the well is running fast, but the water bottle does not break, and the fire tree has low branches.

Xie Gou squinted his eyes and saw that there was a slight surprise. It was a bit virtuous. It was really a tit-for-tat treasure. It seemed that there was an expert standing behind them.

If it were Bai Jing from back then, no matter what else, seeing the old things from the Fire Palace that fell into the world, they would have been marked by her Dao marks. According to the past style, Bai Jing only needed to split the iron box with a sword and remove it. The young Golden Crow, who had just developed intelligence, was in her sleeves. As for whether it would cause a continent's earth veins to shake, it had nothing to do with her. It was only when she left Luo Luo Mountain this time that Xiao Mo was so relieved of her and never followed her under "monitoring" that Xie Gou had more patience.

Xie Gou rubbed her chin, feeling a little embarrassed. She wanted to prove that the sun falling to the earth belonged to its owner, so she had to cut open the box with a sword to convince everyone.

And this group of ignorant children are obviously determined to get this Golden Crow. If it were in the wild world, it would be as simple as cutting down a few ants that are not even in the fifth realm. It would be a matter of handing three swords at most without any effort. .

Firstly, she didn't want to cause trouble in the vast world, and secondly, she didn't want to betray Xiaomo's trust. After much thought, Xie Gou had no choice but to bend her temper and come up with a compromise that was not in line with her past style, "Let's just treat it like this." Now that the bartering is done, I will give you a treasure of Immortal Weapon rank, so that you won’t have to travel in vain, so that you can make business easier when you get back.”

Song Xu shook his head and said: "No matter how many immortal weapons the seniors bring out, we will not agree to it. It's not that the juniors are trying to take advantage of it, let alone the idea of ​​​​selling it at a price. This thing is really of great use to our Great Li Dynasty. It cannot be Or missing."

Xie Gou stood up and grinned: "I think you still don't understand the situation very well, so you think you have a choice. What do you think?"

Yu Yu said from her heart: "Do you want to use Mr. Chen's name to scare the other party?"

After the last incident in Great Li Capital, the monks of the Earthly Branches lineage have now reached a consensus.

If you have any questions, please see Mr. Chen.

The Great Li Dynasty has just found a new blessed land with no evidence. The strangest thing is that this blessed land has a moon but no sun, and there are some gaps in the avenue, so it urgently needs this ancient sun to fill the gaps.

"I've told you a long time ago that we are related. Otherwise, what do you think I would do with wasting so much saliva? If I didn't have such a relationship, I would be so temperamental."

Xie Gou shook his wrist and said, "My Taoist companion is the Xiaomo who is following Chen Pingan. His Taoist name is Xizhu and his name is Stranger. He has been to the Imperial Palace of Dali Capital. You must have studied his identity and resume repeatedly. , he is much more handsome than Chen Pingan."

Xie Gou crossed his arms across his chest and said with a smile: "As for me, I just gave myself a new name, Plum Blossom. My original name was Xie Gou, which is not particularly nice."

Isn't there a poem in the book, "It's spring again on the small street in the south of the city, and there are only plum blossoms but no people."

Xie Gou declared for the last time: "It's useless for you to try to reason with Chen Ping'an about this matter. The things are mine, just mine. If you keep nagging at me, don't blame me for being cruel."

Of course Xie Gou would not kill him, that would only make it difficult for Xiao Mo to be a good person.

Just when Xie Gou was about to hand out the first sword, a scholar in Confucian shirt appeared out of thin air in the realm of Taixu.

The layers of restrictions seemed to be in vain, and the scribe felt like he was in a deserted place.

He looked like a scholar, but he had an aura of Buddhism so strong that Xie Gou could only feel it coming to his face.

Could this person have just returned from the Buddhist Kingdom in the West?

Song Xu and his party were even more shocked. How could it be Li Xisheng from the Li family in Fulu Street, Lizhu Cave?

In fact, it was surprising enough that they had learned earlier that Li Xisheng had been invited to participate in the debate among the three religions.

Among the younger generation of Lizhudongtian, Li Xisheng is a very inconspicuous existence. Regarding this person, there are only a few simple entries in the files of the Dali Criminal Department. Two of them are that he once fought with the foreign sword in Mubo Alley. Xiu Cao Jun had a fight. Li Xisheng also painted talismans on the Luoluo Mountain Bamboo Tower. However, there is no record of the outcome of the fight or the effect of drawing the talisman on the bamboo.

"Fortunately, I made it in time."

Li Xisheng looked at the two groups of people who had arrived earlier than him, and said with a smile: "This thing is related to my sister's path, whether it is the senior who used his superb swordsmanship to force open the iron box, or you I don’t think it’s particularly safe to use the ancient bottle imitated by Mr. Yuan, the Qintian Supervisor, to hold the big sun. Before that, I’m afraid it needs to be cut.”

Xie Gou grinned and said: "Listen to me, if it were you, you would be safe?"

Li Xisheng nodded and said: "I know a few talismans, which can come in handy."

Xie Gou started to be silly and happy, and held up his mink hat. This time he was really a little angry.

The only thing she doesn't want is for others to show off in front of her and compete with her for their talent in cultivation?

Li Xisheng smiled and explained: "Senior, don't get me wrong, I just came to ensure that I have no covetous intentions for this thing. When I open the box, I will tame the golden crow so that it won't wander around and attract people to the continent." Shock, you can sit down and discuss it carefully to decide who owns this thing."

Song Xu took the lead in showing his goodwill to Li Xisheng, "Song Xu, I have met Mr. Li."

The girl grinned and introduced herself: "Ma Shi Yu's family, Yu Yu."

"The Jurong family is temporarily appointed as Daolu of the capital, Geling."

"Student from Jiu Shan Ya, Lu Hui."

"The blessed land of Qingtan, Han Zhoujin."

The young monk clasped his hands together and said with a stern face: "The Beijing Bible Translation Bureau, I am a late disciple. I have not yet received the full precepts."

Li Xisheng bowed to everyone in return and said with a smile: "Li Xisheng of Longquan County is Li Baoping's eldest brother."

Xie Gou asked tentatively: "How long has it been since you returned here from the Buddhist Kingdom in the West? A month, or a few days?"

Li Xisheng said in his heart: "I just came here from Huoxia Temple in Sheshan Mountain."

If he hadn't noticed the strange phenomenon here, Li Xisheng would not have returned to Haoran World so quickly, and the first thing he did when he returned to Haoran World must have been to Baidi City.

Xie Gou was doubtful about this.

Do you think you are in the Fourteenth Realm?

After Lin Shouyi left Changchun Palace, he first followed Yuan Huajing and six others to the capital. In fact, breaking the status and becoming Yupu did not require him to go to the Ministry of Punishment to record the files in person, but Lin Shouyi had always had a good relationship with the Dali court. , otherwise he would not have agreed to serve as the Qi Du Temple Celebrant. However, Lin Shouyi abides by the rules in everything and conducts himself in a flawless manner. He is recognized as a modest gentleman. This also makes him have an excellent reputation in the Li and Xing Departments of Dali. When the Ministry of Punishment came to "Dian Mao", they all congratulated.

After that, Lin Shouyi Yufeng went to Hongzhou Logging Institute.

There is nothing to do in the logging institute now. Lin Zhengcheng is sitting in the deserted office room. Officials are not allowed to drink while on duty. There are only a few plates of salted peanuts and other dishes on the table to accompany wine. When he saw Lin Shouyi, the man did not say anything. , just threw a peanut in his mouth and chewed it carefully.

Lin Shouyi took out a few jars of Changchun Palace Immortal Brew from his sleeves and put them on the table. He said that it was a gift from the Supreme Elder Song Yu. From now on, if dad wants to drink this kind of wine, he only needs to say hello to Changchun Palace. It will be sent directly to the logging yard, and the money for the drinks will be recorded in Lin Shouyi's account.

Lin Zhengcheng glanced at a pot of rare fairy brew that was now on the Aquarius Island Mountain and didn't appreciate it. "It's too expensive to drink for yourself, and there's no one to give it to, so take it back."

Lin Shouyi smiled and said, "I heard that Fu Hu, my boss at the Beijing Rapid Reporting Office, is now the magistrate of Pingnan County. I can send him off."

Lin Zhengcheng thought for a while and did not refuse. Fu Hu was able to serve as an official and serve as the chief officer of Shangxian County. Of course, it was because he had greeted the two doctors from the Military Selection Department of the Ministry of War and the Cleaning Officials Department of the Ministry of Rites. He directly helped Fu Hu in his bid for an official position, and just said a few nice words to Fu Hu. The Dali court heard what Xian meant, and moved along the way to give Fu Hu a real vacancy, which made him the first-class person in Ping Tiao.

When it comes to the art of recognizing people, Lin Zhengcheng is of course very talented, otherwise how could he be the king of Lizhu Cave.

Lin Zhengcheng raised his chin towards the door. Lin Shou understood with all his heart that his father was about to have a few drinks, so he waved his sleeves and closed the door.

Lin Zhengcheng frowned slightly, and Lin Shouyi immediately looked embarrassed.

Lin Zhengcheng didn't talk about any moral principles. He tapped lightly on the table with one finger. Lin Shouyi began to take out the wine glass and stood up to pour the wine.

Lin Zhengcheng took a sip of his drink, thought about it for a moment, and said, "You have reached the Jade Purity Realm, which is equivalent to crossing a big threshold. You are in your forties this year, and you are not young. If you stay in the market at the foot of the mountain, if you get married early, you might Now that I have a granddaughter, there are some things that I should openly talk to you about."

Lin Shouyi drank to gain courage and said with a smile: "Dad, don't be vague and say I'm over forty. Do you know my specific age?"

Lin Zhengcheng thought for a moment and asked, "How older are you than Chen Pingan?"

Lin Shou felt aggrieved. Dad, you only remember Chen Ping'an's age but not his own son's. He smiled bitterly and said, "Dad, am I really your biological son?!"

Lin Zhengcheng said calmly: "You have to ask your mother about this kind of thing. I can't be sure."

Lin Shouyi was so exhausted that he stretched out his arms, picked up a peanut, threw it into his mouth, and started drinking.

Lin Zhengcheng pushed the plate of dried bamboo shoots next to him towards Lin Shouyi and said, "Lu Chen came here to see me at the end of last year and talked to me about old things like sesame seeds and rotten millet. , he felt that it was me who caused you to lose a great opportunity, which resulted in many benefits that should have been yours being transferred to Chen Ping'an invisibly. You can't believe all of Lu Chen's bullshit, and you can't disbelieve it. You can just listen to half of it. "

Lin Shouyi asked: "Dad, can you tell me in detail?"

Lin Zhengcheng took a sip of wine, waved his hand to indicate that he would just pour the wine, and then gave Lin Shouyi some general information about almanac and inside information.

Lin Shouyi thought about it carefully, "Even if I had known that there was such a gambling table, I still couldn't compete with Chen Ping'an, because I don't have enough toughness. Apart from reading and practicing by myself, I can't deal with anything. Everything is too lazy and there is no ambition at all. Besides, if I had known this earlier, unless I had guessed it myself, no matter who leaked the secret to me, it would be equivalent to losing the qualification and automatically leaving the gambling table. So dad, you don’t have to think too much, let alone have any knots about it. I think life is the best now."

"What's more, the matter of fortune-telling and chance is so complicated and unpredictable, especially when we are involved in spiritual practice. A long river of time has countless countercurrents, diversions, and forks. Yesterday was not what it is now, what is not clear today is what it is the day after tomorrow, and it will change again. Such things There are too many."

"In the final analysis, this struggle, which our generation has been kept in the dark about, is about everyone relying on their own abilities and winning or losing."

“It’s useless to seek anything outside your heart.”

Seeing Lin Shouyi's clear eyes and graceful demeanor, Lin Zhengcheng's expression was rare for his son, but he quickly calmed down and asked, "What did you tell Chen Ping'an?"

Lin Shouyi said: "I asked him to come here to pay New Year's greetings."

Shanzhu Chen, you’ve deceived people a lot!

Lin Zhengcheng raised his head and frowned.

As soon as he saw his father's sullen expression, Lin Shouyi felt subconsciously in his heart. From this, it can be seen that Lin Zhengcheng, a father, has great power. Lin Shouyi thought about it and said bravely: "I'm here." The letter told Chen Pingan that he could come here to pay New Year greetings. I think with Chen Pingan's extraordinary talent and intelligence, this sentence is enough to explain the problem. "

Lin Zhengcheng said with a sly smile: "Is it 'can', not 'must'? You are a scholar, you are careful about every word, and you are very good at choosing words and constructing sentences."

So Lin Zhengcheng took the initiative to raise his glass and said, "Am I not allowed to propose a toast to the scholar? In the future, I will take part in the imperial examination. If I get the top prize and come home, I will go and set off firecrackers at the door myself."

Lin Shou raised his glass, lowered it again, and touched it lightly. Before drinking, he said aggrievedly: "Dad, can you please stop talking like that in the future."

Lin Zhengcheng took a sip of wine and said, "Is this a father teaching his son how to behave?"

Lin Shouyi was speechless again, poured himself a glass of wine, raised his head and drank it down.

Lin Zhengcheng said: "I'm not kidding you about participating in the imperial examination of the Great Li Dynasty. The number one scholar in his forties is not too old. Even if he fails to get the number one scholar, he can be one of the first, third, or second grade. "

Lin Shouyi asked strangely: "Dad, you are not the kind of person who is addicted to officialdom. Why do you come to my side and want to hang a plaque for Jinshi and the rank of Jinshi in your ancestral hall?"

"There is a surplus of grain in the house, and the pigs can be fed. There are many scholars in the house, and they are blessed to be eager to learn."

Lin Zhengcheng said: "I hope that my stupid son will be free from illness and disaster, and that he will be rich and live a long life."

The weather is getting milder.

The magnolia flowers are blooming in the courtyard outside the door.

In the southern part of Aquarius Continent, where kingdoms have been restored and established one after another, a new Yunxiao dynasty has emerged on the fragmented territory of the old Dashang Dynasty, occupying nearly half of the old mountains and rivers, and becoming one of the most powerful powers in southern Aquarius Continent. The only flaw is that the Yunxiao Hong family failed to win over the Lingfei Temple of the Immortal Lord Cao Rong.

The current Taoist master's Taoist name is "Dongting". A new battlefield site has been opened as a Taoist temple on the border between the two countries outside the Taoist temple. It is said that this Taoist true king is good at giving speeches, practicing Liujia on the Tao, holding a green jade talisman, and can The Yin soldiers are ordered to be strong men who can be driven at will.

On the northeastern border of the Yunxiao Dynasty, there is a remote and lofty mountain. Since ancient times, no monks have opened caves here. Hu Feng and Wu Tijing, two young swordsmen who met and fell in love, officially founded the sect here.

The so-called ceremony consists of setting off a few strings of firecrackers and setting out a table of food and wine.

But even such a piece of land with thin spiritual energy, such a hilltop that could barely open a dojo, was visited by a group of Yunxiao Hong family masters, claiming that this place was one of the sources of a river that the imperial court had sealed. Since they opened a mansion here, As a rule, the two of them need to be taken to the capital together, and a file must be recorded with the Ministry of Rites, indicating their names, place of origin, and teachers. Only after the identity and qualifications have been verified by the court can the sect be officially established, and in the future, "rents" must be paid to the court every year. "... In short, there was a lot of red tape, and Wu Tijing almost wanted to kill someone with his sword.

As a result, as soon as the other party heard that Hu Feng was from Longquan County, Chuzhou of the Great Li Dynasty, the attitude of the Hong family court and local officials immediately changed 180 degrees.

Instead of continuing to pester Hu Feng, he took the initiative to ask the two foreign immortal masters if they needed help from the nearby prefecture and county offices to post notices and issue a mountain ban to prevent woodcutters and herb collectors from the mountains. The layman accidentally entered this place and disturbed the practice of the two immortal masters.

After that, an official from the Ministry of Rites came to visit, accompanied by an old monk who had traveled to the territory of the old Longzhou. He chatted with Hu Feng for a few words and carefully worded it. In fact, it was to verify Hu Feng's identity as a big Li. , seeing that Hu Feng's mention of the customs and customs of his hometown were all correct, he didn't dare to ask any more questions, and quickly went back home, which was enough to communicate with the court.

At the foot of the mountain, watching the other party leave, Wu Tijing asked: "Don't they find it troublesome? Just ask Dali Chuzhou if there is a person named Hu Feng over there in Erlang Lane. Little things that can be confirmed with a letter.”

Hu Feng shook his head and said: "They don't dare to trouble the Great Li court for such a trivial matter. Moreover, the countries in the south of Aquarius Continent are most afraid of Nian Gan Lang from the Criminal Department of Great Li coming to their door."

Wu Tijing smiled and said: "Looking at the posture, the Yunxiao Hong family is eager to enshrine you. Listening to the meaning behind their words, if we just nod our heads, we can be enshrined in the royal family? Is your status as a big Li so valuable?"

Hu Feng said calmly: "It only happened in the past few decades. This was not the case before. The immortal masters and scholars on the mountain were very groveling to the Lu family and the Gao family of the Sui Dynasty at the beginning. Even later, the great Li Tieqi annexed the Lu Dynasty, but there are still many literati and elegant people who still worship other countries and like to criticize other countries. When looking at the domestic situation, they will find faults in every possible way. In Dong Shuijing's words, they are just kneeling people saying harsh words, which is obviously okay. People who stand prefer to kneel down to talk.”

"When Cui Chan was the national master, he just ignored him? How terrible."

Wu Tijing found it quite interesting, "Is it much better now?"

"Cui Guoshi is very knowledgeable and has a lot of affairs. He probably can't take care of these things, or he just doesn't bother to take care of them at all. I guess deep down in his heart, Cui Guoshi has never regarded them as scholars."

Hu Feng nodded, "These literati have changed their tone now and are competing for intelligence. How can we ordinary people compare to those who have read books?"

Back on the mountain, the two swordsmen were walking and chatting. Hu Feng, who has been wearing a shabby attire of linen and straw sandals all year round, has a strong build. He is actually in his forties, but his appearance is that of a young man, but his whole person seems to have no aura. , always looks dull and has dull eyes.

But Wu Tijing, whose real age is less than twenty years old, is handsome and has the air of an immortal master. He wears a green robe, a purple jade crown on his head, and a white jade belt around his waist.

Because Hu Feng was worried that he would reveal his whereabouts and cause unnecessary entanglement, he asked Wu Tijing to use a pseudonym to prevent Zhengyangshan from following the news all the way.

One is in the Dragon Gate realm and the other is in the Golden Core realm. Both sides have concealed their identities as sword cultivators.

Although with their two realms, in this Yunxiao Dynasty where the National Master is only a Nascent Soul Realm, it is no problem to walk sideways down the mountain, but be careful to sail the Ten Thousand Years Ship.

There are many old sayings in the town. For example, if you walk too much at night, you will encounter ghosts. Another example is that an unlucky person may find gold from the dung heap when he turns around.

Wu Tijing is a person who is extremely confident and almost arrogant, while Hu Feng is a person with a soft temper and gentle words.

Nowadays, there are only two people in the sect, one is the leader and the other is the master.

As we chatted, we talked about sect affairs. Today, Hu Feng was like a talkative aunt again, nagging that when Wu Tijing left Zhengyang Mountain, he should bring some fairy money with him, shouldn't he? He was so alone, as if he had just left home, without even a purse.

Wu Tijing was annoyed and raised his voice: "Hu Feng, are you annoyed? Why do you always bring up such things!"

Hu Feng ignored Wu Tijing, who suddenly became irritable, and still said slowly: "It is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice, and a penny is difficult for a hero. What is the situation of our sect now, do I need to say more."

The leader thought to himself and said: "Anyway, in the future, if there is another genealogy monk like you in our sect who is unwilling to stay, I will give him a money bag and a few Grain Rain coins no matter what. "

Wu Tijing held the back of his head with both hands, "There are treasures everywhere in the cave. Just pick up a few pieces and sell them, and you have everything. Where is the need for two poor people to stare at each other like now?"

Hu Feng shook his head and said: "I have set a rule for myself: not a single thing inside the cicada slough can be taken out."

Hu Feng turned around and said, "If you like it, I can give it to you, but you have to promise me that you will abide by this rule before you reach the upper five realms."

Wu Tijing waved his hand and said, "No, getting a dragon-slaying stone from Hu Feng has already made this genius swordsman feel uneasy. He joked: "Hu Feng, do you think you are poor and generous?"

Hu Feng must be sincerely willing to give away a cave, not to test people's hearts, but Wu Tijing will definitely not accept it. He doesn't like to owe favors.

Hu Feng's ancestral home is located in Erlang Lane. Now the entire Aquarius Island is amazed that the Clay Vase Lane is a golden and jade ashram with hidden dragons and crouching tigers. However, in fact, Xinghua Lane and Erlang Lane are not bad, but Fulu Street and In Taoye Lane, it seems that for the time being, there are only Zhao Yao, the Minister of Punishment, and Xie Ling of Longquan Sword Sect.

Hu Feng has been walking around the streets with his grandfather who opened a wedding shop since he was a child, helping to mend pots and pans and sharpen kitchen knives.

Later, the sky in Lizhu Cave fell to the ground and the sky changed. Hu Feng followed the people in the town and rushed to the Longxu River. He picked up eight beautiful stones and sold them to two families on Fulu Street and Taoye Lane. , got two large sums of money, and then used part of the money to buy some houses in Zhoucheng. Before leaving home, he asked a guy named Dong Shuijing to help rent them out.

Then he handed some of the money to Dong Shuijing, and it was regarded as a partnership to do business. If he lost money, he would treat it as wasted money. If he made money, it would be used as the principal of the next transaction. As for what kind of business Dong Shuijing would use it for, Hu Feng had no idea. in spite of.

The two parties have known each other since they were very young, but they were not friends at first.

He and Dong Shuijing both grew up in a small town, but because they had elders to rely on, their lives were not too tight. At that time, they both liked to go to Lao Porcelain Mountain to browse and pick up items, and they met often. Dong Shuijing likes to pick out those broken porcelain pieces with words on them, and Hu Feng likes those with pictures. In the first few years, neither of them spoke. Later, Dong Shuijing was the first to speak. The two children hit it off and had a tacit understanding. Every time the sun sets, Before, they went down to Porcelain Mountain, got together, and bartered. In this way, the two of them gained significantly more.

Every time Hu Feng thinks about it now, he will sincerely admire Dong Shuijing's business experience. It seems that some of his abilities are innate and do not need to be taught.

Every year on February 2nd, Grandpa would take Hu Feng to kowtow at the Immortal Tomb.

After leaving his hometown, on this day, Hu Feng would also face his hometown and offer three sticks of incense from a distance.

This is what his grandfather told him, and Hu Feng dare not forget it.

Wu Tijing asked: "Have you thought about how to repay Li Huai?"

Hu Feng shook his head and said, "I haven't thought about it yet."

Wu Tijing suddenly said: "Would you like to contact Dong Shuijing?"

Hu Feng asked doubtfully: "Don't you always say that you don't ask for help in everything?"

If it weren't for taking care of Wu Tijing's self-esteem and feelings, Hu Feng would have actually considered this. The two parties were from the same hometown, knew each other well, and had done business when they were young, so they both trusted each other.

Wu Tijing smiled and said: "I am an unparalleled swordsmanship prodigy, a genius among geniuses, but I don't have the ability to turn stone into gold. I don't have money in my pocket and I can't speak loudly. No matter how loud my voice is, no one will listen. That's it." I'm not a fool, so how could I not understand the superficial truth? Besides, it's just a business partnership, and it's not like asking for help."

Hu Feng smiled and said nothing. In fact, after Wu Tijing became the manager, he wanted to be a little bit like a sect, but found that it was really impossible without money.

A sect can't just have a few thatched huts.

Hu Feng could use this material and build a decent house with his own hands. The problem is that for these two monks, wouldn't it be more ridiculous to live in this than in a hut?

Wu Tijing glanced at the bamboo flute pinned to Hu Feng's waist, "Did your grandfather leave it to you?"

Hu Feng shook his head, "My grandpa asked for it for me in the early years."

In the capital city of Dali, Zhao Yao, the Minister of Punishment, hosted a banquet at the Changpu River for several "senior brothers" studying at the old Shanya Academy, which has now been renamed Chunshan Academy.

A meeting was held at the Cliff Academy of Sui Dynasty. In addition to the three chief and deputy mountain chiefs, there were also several gentlemen and wise men. Li Huai was among them, and he was quite restless.

By the Ling River in Tongyezhou, Yu Lu regained his real name and joined hands with his classmates to thank him, which was both the founding and restoration of the country.

There is a country school in Yanzhou Prefecture in Yunzhou. The teacher is a foreigner named Chen.

The flowers in the mountains are blooming like fire this spring.
