Chapter 376 The Gentleman’s Arms

Jindan monk suddenly smiled and said: "Young Master turns out to be a disciple of the Legalist School, no wonder."

Chen Pingan didn't know why the other party had this misunderstanding.

This Earth Immortal, who should be very familiar with the world and customs of Qingluan Kingdom, smiled and said: "That's the time to discuss and learn from each other."

The mountain col was suddenly tense.

Yamazawa Yexiu is used to scenes where people turn against each other and people die, and birds die for food. Who wouldn’t be happy to earn an extra fifty summer coins? If you can make clean money, of course you have to make it. Why have you ever made less dirty money? Those casual cultivators who were recruited by the imperial government, or those who asked for a consecrated title from the genealogy family, and helped them obtain the amulet, most likely did a shady deed first, such as helping the imperial court assassinate the enemy generals and civil servants. , helping the Genealogy Immortal Master resolve those vendettas and grievances that are not suitable for personal action.

The Golden Pill Immortal looked around leisurely, as if inspecting the battlefield.

Chen Pingan asked: "Do you know that once the Earth Ox chooses to turn its back and affect the earth's veins, tens of thousands of people will be affected?"

The Earth Immortal hesitated for a moment, but still nodded. Frankly said: "Of course I know about this when I'm at my level."

Nabo Shanze Yexiu was not too surprised by this.

Only the formation master Lu Yangzhen frowned, but he hid it very well.

Chen Pingan asked again: "Then can you control earthquakes?"

The Earth Immortal did not give a direct answer, but smiled and said: "This is not easy, either according to your friend According to the theory, relying on burning money to lay out magic circles on a large scale to stabilize the earth's veins and reduce earthquake turbulence, or the Qi practitioner needs to have an innate spiritual treasure similar to the Li Pearl and refine it into a natal object, in order to 'fix the mountain and subdue the veins'. "

Seeing that Chen Pingan stopped asking questions, the Earth Immortal looked at Chen Pingan carefully again and said, "We will see you later."

The golden elixir monk seemed to have given up on the discussion. " thought, looking at the backbone of the few scattered cultivators on the mountain, such as the old man in black robes who rode a five-tailed black fox, and the formation master Lu Yangzhen, each told the "location of the spoils" in their own voice, paid the remaining reward besides the deposit, and then Gone by the wind.

All the loose cultivators followed the Earth Immortal and left, but in a slightly different direction. Presumably, the Golden Pill cultivator would pay the immortal money to the four groups at different times and places in order to avoid having any wild cultivators. Suffering from scarcity leads to disparity.

Zhang Shanfeng lightly punched Chen Ping'an and joked: "Okay, use the Xiaoshu money as snow to spend money on things."

Xu Yuanxia had already stood up and collected the money. Putting the knife into its sheath, he combed his blood-caked beard from top to bottom with his fingers, "It's safe for the time being, but I'm afraid that this Jindan Immortal is a local snake with evil intentions. If it doesn't work, let's not wait for that scene." In the debate between Buddhism and Taoism in the capital of Luan Kingdom, it would be better to leave as early as possible."

Zhang Shanfeng hesitated: "The Zhenwu sword that Chen Ping'an lent me and your short sword should be left here. Dudu's Mansion?"

Chen Pingan corrected: "It's not borrowing."

Although Xu Yuanxia felt distressed, she still looked determined, "It's such a big Dudu's Mansion., and can’t grow legs, there will always be a chance to get it back in the future. Once the governor is the mastermind of this siege, we will fall into the trap ourselves. The Emperor of the Tang family of Qingluan Kingdom has always been unruly, and the governor is the Tang Dynasty. As the direct henchmen of the Emperor, we can easily become the target of public criticism, and the reasons are hard to explain. We can't even hide from anyone who throws dirty water at us. ”

Zhang Shanfeng once had the temperament to never look back until he hit the southern wall. Otherwise, he would not have abandoned Confucianism and became a Taoist priest in the mountains. This time he traveled south from Beijuluzhou to Aopingzhou, and learned a lot. It was quite fruitful, with setbacks and gains, and I became a lot more mature. After hearing Xu Yuanxia's explanation, I no longer insisted on my own opinion.

Chen Pingan thought for a long time before he came up with a reasonable explanation that could not only satisfy Zhang. Shanfeng and Xu Yuanxia were not involved in their own misfortune, and they could go to the Governor's Mansion with peace of mind. "I had a chance at an academy in Tongyezhou and got a jade plaque. I can use it to save my life at critical moments. Although Nowadays, the Qingluan Kingdom is full of fish and dragons, and we cannot take it lightly, but there is... a jade plaque that is equivalent to the personal visit of a gentleman from the academy. Ordinary Jindan Nascent Soul, no one dares to kill him. So it's not a big problem for us to get back the Zhenwu sword and the short knife. ”

Being sincere in dealing with people is indeed important, but if you are put in danger because of it and encounter a disaster like Chen Pingan’s encounter with Du Mao, then it is not called sincerity, but sincerity. Heartless and ignorant of the world.

Pei Qian and the four picture scrolls have approached.

They are all very curious about the identity of the young Taoist priest and the bearded knight. Chen Ping'an's fellow villager was a friend he met on his previous travels.

Wei Xian and the other four could see that the young Taoist priest was just an average Qi practitioner, while the bearded swordsman was a basic master. But is this the fifth-level martial artist?

Pei Qian has been secretly looking at the two of them. At this moment, she is holding a hiking stick and hanging bamboo swords made by Chen Pingan. Standing next to Chen Pingan, he smiled and said: "Hello, brother Taoist priest, hello uncle swordsman, my name is Pei Qian, and I am my master's first disciple! ”

Xu Yuanxia laughed heartily and earned a seniority in vain.

Although Zhang Shanfeng was stabbed through the shoulder by the sword cultivator’s flying sword, he still looked a little calm after applying the golden sore medicine. He was pale, but when he saw the skinny girl who claimed to be Chen Ping'an's disciple, the young Taoist priest raised the corners of his mouth, smiled and greeted the little girl: "Hello, Pei Qian, how old are you?

Pei Qian said with a smile: "You are only seven years old, that's why you are so tall." "

Chen Pingan went down with a chestnut.

Pei Qian, who wanted to save face and suffer the consequences, immediately cried and said: "I am actually eleven years old. "

Chen Pingan turned around, squatted down, and turned to look at Xu Yuanxia, ​​"What should I do if I am so seriously injured? "

Xu Yuanxia and Zhang Shanfeng squatted down together. The bearded man touched his beard and said in deep thought: "I'm not talking about the sneaky Earth Immortal Golden Pill, just the group of wild cultivators riding the black fox. If you have a bad character, if we just leave the native cow alone, we will die sooner or later. YouThere is a saying before that is true, no one’s money falls from the sky or is blown by the strong wind. Send it to Buddha to the west

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

For the time being, let it follow us in this true form. When the injury improves, we can find a place where we can hide our body. It won't be too late to separate at that time. But in this case, Chen Pingan, the burden on your shoulders will be heavier. ”

Chen Ping’an smiled and said: “It’s been a long time since we last seen each other, and now we’re seeing each other like this?” "

Xu Yuanxia laughed and said: "It doesn't cost me any money to be polite. ”

Pei Qian is like a chicken pecking rice, and he takes it for granted that he can say polite words and flattery for free. This bearded uncle should be regarded as one of his own.

Compared with Pei Qian, the four people in the picture see more and think further.

The four people on the right of Wei Xiansui have never seen Chen Pingan ask other people's opinions, and they naturally listen to them. , everything will fall into place. You must know that along the way with the four of them, there was no shortage of fights and killings. Sui Youyou has died many times. Chen Pingan's various performances have invisibly demonstrated extremely toughness, tenacity and independence. That side, but at the same time giving enough respect to the four of them, even Wei Xian had to admit that Chen Ping'an's so-called "overlord talents" that he flattered Chen Ping'an were actually not very significant. If placed in the troubled times of Lotus Flower Blessed Land, Maybe Chen Ping'an is the opponent he met on the battlefield.

Chen Ping'an looked at the yellow cow and said, "Can you appear in human form, if I remember correctly, enter the sea-viewing realm or... In the Dragon Gate realm, you should be able to transform into a human form, right? I have a bottle of healing elixir. If you take it in person, the effect will be even better. ”

Before leaving Old Dragon City, Mrs. Gui brought a treasure box made of osmanthus wood, which contained twelve bottles of elixirs. It is what the Earth Immortal needs, but every level of the middle five realms is the most cost-effective.

After hearing Chen Pingan’s question, the Dragon Gate realm monster who had hurt the foundation of the Dao shook his head. /p>

Zhang Shanfeng explained: "Compared with the ordinary mountain spirit-water monster, it is more special, just like the water dragon. The purer the five elements, the more difficult it is to transform into a human form. Like it, it needs to be among the Only the Golden Core realm will do.

Chen Ping'an suddenly realized, nodded and said: "It's okay. When we go to the Governor's Mansion this time, we will try our best to bypass the large county and city and choose the mountains and rivers." "

Zhang Shanfeng smiled and said: "We are already familiar with this. We have visited many places in Qingluan and Qingshan Kingdom in the past two years. ”

When Chen Pingan took out a pill suitable for Longmen realm Qi practitioners, the yellow native cow took a stick of incense and was able to struggle to get up. Although his body was still covered with crisscrossing wounds, he could not walk. It doesn't matter, after all, earth monsters in the world are known for their toughness and amazing endurance. Moreover, this dragon gate monster said frankly that he refined a celadon landscape bottle as one of his natal objects, which can contain and accumulate the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Chen. When Ping An heard Xian Ya's intention, he gave all the bottles of elixir to Huang Niu and let himPut it into the natal green glaze bottle and slowly absorb the medicinal spiritual energy to heal the injury.

After the yellow native cow stepped on the ground with all four feet, there were tears in his eyes. He stared at the young man in a snow-white robe in front of him, "Immortal Master Gao Feng, how can I repay you?"

It felt guilty and uneasy and said: "I have been practicing here for more than two hundred years, but I just took a fancy to the dragon veins here. The two spiritual weapons and magic weapons I accidentally obtained before have been refined into natal objects. In addition, I have not obtained any heavenly materials. Earth Treasure, Immortal Master has not only saved my life, but also has the virtue to continue my path..."

Pei Qian lamented.

Blame me.

Why did I become a loser again after leaving Old Dragon City? I almost lost two snow coins on the Fengwei Ferry side, and I even lost money to my grandma's house on this mountain col.

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, if you are really thoughtful, when you recover from your injuries and form a golden elixir, you can travel far and wide with your body. In the future, you can go to my hometown, where there are beautiful mountains and clear waters and abundant spiritual energy. You are welcome to be a guest..."

When Chen Ping'an said this, Xu Yuanxia said with deep meaning: "Why wait until the pill is formed? After recovering from the injury, just go directly to your hometown. Maybe you can go directly Forming elixirs there, there are saints who are in charge of luck, so you don’t have to worry about causing the earth cow to turn over.”

The yellow earth cow’s eyes were confused, as if he didn’t understand.

Chen Pingan carefully considered whether this matter was feasible. Xu Yuanxia had already smiled and said: "Don't worry, we can still walk a long way through the mountains and rivers. Let's see if we have the right temperament first, and then make a decision. If the temperament is If they don't get along, it's better to leave a good impression and meet again in the future than to get along day and night and end up with a bad relationship, and then waste a good relationship."

Zhang Shanfeng agreed: "It works."

Chen Pingan has no objections.

The group of people walked slowly, leaving the mountain col and heading towards the famous Governor's Mansion in Qingluan Kingdom.

Chen Pingan chatted with Zhang Shanfeng and Xu Yuanxia about their travels.

The two also told Chen Ping'an about their story after the separation of Qingfufang.

————

The Tang royal family of Qingluan Kingdom has always been granted the title of king but not a vassal. The princes, prefectures and kings all stay in the capital and have their own residences, and these residences only have the right of residence. Without ownership, once the title is lost, it will be taken back by the clan government.

Qingluan Kingdom has five major governor's offices. In addition to the four governorates on the four sides, there is also one in the central region. It has great power and is responsible for water transportation, salt and iron and many other lifeline affairs of the country. Ordinary monarchs are afraid that The unavoidable "harm caused by the control of powerful ministers and the worry of separatist vassal towns" has always been so smooth in the hundreds of years of Qingluan Kingdom's history, the country is peaceful and the people are peaceful, and the generals are in harmony with each other, that outsiders can't even figure it out. Could it be that these days? None of the high-ranking officials in the distant frontiers of Emperor Gao had any ambitions in life? Each and every one of them fulfilled their duties and served the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty until their death?

No matter what, the Qingluan Kingdom located in the southeast of Aquarius Continent is like a paradise, a pure land, especially after the war in the central part is in full swing, causingThe three kingdoms of Qingluan, Qingshan and Yunxiao have attracted tens of thousands of descendants of powerful nobles who migrated south, with the Qingluan Kingdom having the largest number of people.

The current five governors-general of Qingluan Kingdom, the four close to the border, all rely on battlefield meritorious service or

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

The current Governor Wei, the dignitary of the Qingluan Kingdom who asked Zhang Shanfeng and Xu Yuanxia for Zhenwu swords and daggers, stopped traveling in the mountains and rivers, and wandered in the woods after his inheritance. Instead, he lives in seclusion, but relying on rumors of various deeds in his early years, he has a good reputation among the Qingluan Three Kingdoms. He is good at Qingci, cursive calligraphy, annotating Buddhist scriptures, and painting of Buddhist statues. Especially the latter, there is a saying that he is "unique for a while", and he is known by both the government and the public. , a painting is hard to find. The Governor Wei, who was in his prime, had a very good reputation in the Shilin literary circles. He was praised as having a graceful appearance, clear movements, and as solemn as the wind under a pine... Among the ladies and ladies of the capital, he was even praised as such. Chao, it is said that when the governor was on a study tour, he went to the mountains to visit immortals with several worldly friends. He was mistaken by the woodcutter for an immortal who had been banished, so he kowtowed and worshiped, exclaiming that he was an immortal.

This time Qingluan Kingdom holds a huge debate on Buddhism and Taoism in the capital, Governor Wei will go to the capital to take charge of the safety of the capital, and is allowed to lead 6,000 elite troops northward and station them in important areas of the capital!

The Tang Emperor's reliance and trust in this person can be seen.

So much so that there are some gossips in the Jianghu, saying that the monarch and his ministers are so good at cutting off their sleeves. You must know that in this debate between Buddhism and Taoism, the two monarchs of the Yunxiao Kingdom and the Qingshan Kingdom, the He clan, They all came to the capital of Qingluan Kingdom, and the fact that Governor Wei led his troops to the north was regarded as normal by two monarchs from other countries and did not regret it, which was even more strange.

On this day, a burly young man came to visit the Governor's Mansion without disturbing outsiders.

The Governor Wei Liang is entertaining guests in his study. Wei Liang is only in his thirties now and was born like a jade tree.

Wei Liang held a high position, but he was very casual with the young man. He was neither distantly polite nor deliberately enthusiastic. The burly young man was obviously an old acquaintance of the Grand Governor. , instead of sitting across from Wei Liang, he stood under the bookshelf, flipping through and picking things up.

Wei Liang smiled and said: "Jiang Yun, it seems that the family favors you and is willing to leave this matter to you. In this way, I will save worry and effort. When the time comes, I will be here Ming, you are hiding, I believe that this late spring debate on Buddhism and Taoism will not cause too much trouble."

The burly young man is the one who lives at the end of the alley, probably Fengwei Du. It was Xianjia Ferry that left half of his hometown, and the iron chain "belt" that was refined around his waist was used as a camouflage method to avoid attracting attention in the town and market.

My name is Jiang YunThe young man casually flipped through a book. There were many narrations and annotations, and they were mixed with black ink and red ink. It was obvious that the Grand Governor Wei Liang had read this book more than once.

Jiang Yun turned around and said: "Old Wei, you must not take it lightly. Your Majesty the Emperor has made such a big mistake. The situation is very complicated now. Besides me, there seems to be someone else in the family. Lurking in the dark, and his cultivation level is definitely not low."

Wei Liang smiled and said nothing.

Jiang Yun was a little helpless, "The small Qingluan Kingdom dared to hold a debate on Buddhism and Taoism, and deliberately created such a big battle. The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty did not understand the dangers of the war between the three religions. Old Wei You don’t know? How did our Yunlin Jiang family migrate to Aquarius Island? This time I left Fengweidu and specially picked some lively places along the way. It is no exaggeration to say that the streets are full of people practicing Qi. Gentlemen, this is still the case in the local area, not to mention your capital, are you really not afraid?"

Wei Liang placed a wooden box on the table. After opening it, a cold light suddenly filled the room. He walked out of the wooden box. He took out a "wen-sword" from the box and said with a smile: "Because of the relationship between your master and the teacher, you have sympathy for Shanze Yexiu. I will not be like this. Before the end of spring, as long as there is a criminal record, Xiu, no matter whether I am committing crimes in Qingluan Kingdom or elsewhere, I will fish the net several times, whether dead or alive, and behave according to the rules. A single mouse dropping can ruin a pot of porridge, let alone a nest of incoming snakes and rats. ."

The sword, written by celebrities and elegant scholars, is a trivial thing, but it is regarded as a "gentleman's weapon".

In this wooden box on the table in front of Wei Liang, there are nearly ten "ancestral knives" neatly placed, which are roughly divided into long-standing book knives and knives for cutting rice paper. There are two types of paper knives.

The former is also called a sharpening knife. In ancient times, only bamboo and wood slips could be used to record text. The small knife used to repair slips is called a book knife. It was first made of bronze and later made of iron. Today, various precious materials are used. In fact, it is more for people to play and collect, and has lost its original function.

Wei Liang was holding a knife in each hand at the moment, two paper knives.

A paper knife with bamboo yellow veneer, and the scabbard on the table is engraved with "Made by Zhensongtang".

A white jade carved dragon pattern gilt "Gongguan Bairen" knife.

Jiang Yun put the book back and sighed, with a complicated look on his face, "So you set up a trap to kill so many wild cultivators at once?"

"Anyone who commits injustice will be killed. I It’s more difficult to deal with the Immortal Masters of Genealogy on the Mountain. If I don’t kill these wild cultivators directly, I will burn incense on their graves. Of course, I also have some selfish reasons for going to such trouble, but many of them have become the guardians of my family. Your eyes and ears will play a big role in the future. You see, the world is so simple and clear.”

While speaking, Wei Liang never raised his head, staring at the beautifully patterned hand. "Gongguan" knife, and then tap the knife gently with a bamboo carving knife. The sound is crisp and clear. You can close your eyes and listen to it, and you will enjoy it very much.

Although Jiang Yun had a good personal relationship with Wei Liang, he was still a little annoyed, "You don't care.Is what you are doing a righteous dharma or an evil dharma? "

"Evil laws are still laws. "

After he opened his eyes, his expression was calm and relaxed, he changed the subject and said with a smile: "Let's not talk about these things that are destined to be discussed with each other. This time when I went out, I met a fellow student of mine. A disciple of Legalism, it is very interesting. His friend also left two things in my house. If you are interested, you can stay a few more days. ”
