On Gongliu Island, there are still willow trees in late autumn.
This island is the main mountain of the Zhenjing Sect, which is also the top of the mountain where the Patriarch Hall was built.
Including Gongliu Island, the entire Shujian Lake has been under construction in the past year. The dust has been flying, blocking the sky and the sun. The wealthy Zhenjing Sect has hired many Mohist mechanics and Yin Yang Kanyu masters. Come here to survey the terrain, determine the water transportation of the mountain roots, as well as farmers and other immortal masters and a large number of mountain craftsmen come here to work. In the words of the leader Jiang Shangzhen, just don’t save me the immortal money, every floor tile and every window grille here , every flower garden must be the best in Aquarius Continent, and those monks who are especially good at building the Immortal Family's mansion, there are hundreds of them, most of them are from Tongye Continent, just hire people to ride on the cross With the shuttle boat to and from Zhouzhou and the fact that the Zhenjing Sect took care of everything from start to finish, all Zhongtu would stay at the Xianjia Inn. In this way, the Zhenjing Sect could make many people happy just by spending the fairy money on this matter. The old island sect in Shujian Lake emptied its fortune overnight.
So all the mountain immortals in Aquarius Continent know the second thing. The Zhenjing Sect is extremely rich.
The first thing is, of course, that Zhenjing Sect has three and a half Shangwujing enshrinements.
A female swordsman from Luzhou in Beiju named Li Cai, the old man of Yugui Sect who was originally expected to be the leader of Zhenjing Sect, Liu Laocheng of Yupu Realm, and Liu Laocheng of Qingxia Island Lao Cheng is half of Jade Pu Realm.
Now Liu Zhimao has begun to retreat into seclusion.
So the islands around Gongyanagi Island have been closed recently.
Two people were walking slowly along the willow bank. Jiang Shangzhen, the leader of the clan, and Liu Laocheng, the chief worshiper.
Jiang Shangzhen broke off the wicker sticks and woven them into a willow ring, put it on his head, and said with a smile: "I'm gone now. Right, Brother Liu."
Liu Laocheng didn't say anything. .
Jiang Shangzhen is a very strange hero, with bloody methods. He is very good at hiding a knife in his smile, but he is very strict about rules. This feeling is not what Jiang Shangzhen said, but this Jade Guizong's next sect site selection letter. Hu, everything Jiang Shangzhen did was to explain this truth to the monks of the sect. Of course, there were many inhumane aspects of the rules Jiang Shangzhen set. For this reason, General Guan Yiran of the Great Li Cavalry had many negotiations with the Zhenjing Sect. Yuan Ying enshrinement Li Furu often went to the general's mansion to quarrel. The quarrel was noisy, but no action was taken. It's not that Li Furui has a good temper, but Jiang Shangzhen warned this woman who looks like the outside of the Zhenjing Sect, Li Fuxi's life is not worth anything, and the Zhenjing Sect's face... is not worth anything either. The only person who is truly valuable in the world is, Only money.
Jiang Shangzhen’s previous words with emotion, "I have passed away", actually means very simple. Since I am willing to tell you this matter in person, it means that you and Liu Laocheng’s love and grudges back then , although I, Jiang Shangzhen, know it, you, Liu Laocheng, can rest assured that there won’t be any disgusting little moves.
Liu Laocheng is not polite, he is reallyI'm relieved.
As for Liu Zhimao's success in breaking through the realm, the number of offerings from the upper five realms of the Zhenjing Sect has become three.
Because the old man of Yugui Sect who claimed to be in seclusion was too dead to die.
At that time, there was a posture of four people joining forces to surround and kill, but only two people actually took action.
Liu Laocheng and Liu Zhimao are only responsible for holding the line, or watching the show.
Kill the chicken to scare the monkey.
On this island, Miyagi Island.
Li Cai and Jiang Shangzhen, one unsheathed his sword and the other sacrificed the willow leaf. After seeing Li Cai, the meritorious old man of Jade Guizong did not even think about dying with Jiang Shangzhen, a madman. Unfortunately, he couldn't escape, so he died.
The fight was not breathtaking at all. Even many monks on Gongliu Island only noticed the strange weather for a moment, and then the world became silent, the clouds were light, the wind was light, and the moon was bright.
Jiang Shangzhen suddenly said: "In the future, when you meet Taoist priests from the Shengao Sect, let me, the disciples of the Zhenjing Sect, be more respectful and just behave with your tail between your legs. Regardless of right or wrong, as long as you fight and get beaten to death, you will really Jing Zong pretended that nothing happened and he accidentally killed the other party. Zhen Jing Zong’s Patriarch Hall cut off the head of this heroic man and sent Li Furui to Shen Gaozong to make amends.”
Liu. Lao Cheng nodded and said: "I know."
Jiang Shangzhen smiled and said: "Don't you quite understand?"
Liu Lao Cheng shook his head.
It’s not difficult to understand.
A big tree attracts the wind and is the target of public criticism.
The Zhenjing Sect has no love at all in Aquarius Continent. It seems to have unlimited scenery, but in fact it has enemies everywhere, such as the iron cavalry of the Song family in Dali.
But understanding is understanding, Liu Laocheng still admires Jiang Shangzhen, the young sect master, for being willing to bow down to this.
This Immortal Master holding a cloud cave blessed land is simply more wild than Shan Zeyexiu.
Jiang Shangzhen sighed, "My situation now is actually the situation of you and Liu Zhimao. We must not only strengthen ourselves and accumulate strength, but also make our opponents feel controllable. I just don't know, Da Li Song Who will eventually come out to restrain our Zhenjing Sect? Everything about Aquarius Continent is good, but this is bad. The Song dynasty is the lord of a continent, and it actually has the hope of completely controlling the mountains and mountains. Yezhou, where the sky is high and the emperor is small, the monks on the mountain are really carefree."
Liu Laocheng said with a smile: "In fact, the same was true of Shujian Lake in the past. The kings and ministers of the surrounding countries. Everyone is in danger."
Jiang Shangzhen shook his head, "It's different. A lawless place like Shujian Lake is a bit like a barbarian land in ancient times, where all the monsters in the world are rampant, and the gods in the sky use the incense of the world. For food, the demon clan on the earth feeds on humans, so there is a separate world for meritorious saints. It is not just stupid people who are ignorant of blessings. In fact, almost all of us are no exception."
Jiang Shangzhen walked slowly, "Nowadays, we, the common people in the world, talk about mountains and riversGods, flowers and trees, monsters and spirits, ghosts and ghosts, what are they? It is a land far away in the sky, in the mountains, lakes and lakes that are rarely visited by people. Even if there are people close to the world and living with us, they are still bound by extremely complicated rules, so they can say with certainty that the place where demons are causing trouble is the Celestial Master. Where swords are drawn, in the streets and shops, there are peach charms, door gods, and ancestral temples filled with incense. You can go to temples and Taoist temples to pray for blessings and ward off disasters, and there are various opportunities to visit immortals in the mountains. "
Jiang Shangzhen stopped, looked around, picked off the willow ring, and threw it into the lake. "Then if one day, we people, whether ordinary people or cultivators, have to fight with each other. What would happen if their positions were reversed? Are you afraid? Anyway, I, Jiang Shang, am really scared. "
Liu Laocheng said: "I won't think about this. "
Jiang Shangzhen nodded and said: "It doesn't matter. Because someone would want to. So you and Liu Zhimao can be pure and cultivate your own way. Because even if the world turns upside down in the future, you can still take refuge and not die. If your realm is high enough, you will always have a way out and a way to survive. "
Liu Laocheng frowned.
Jiang Shangzhen asked with a smile: "But what if all the Taoists on the top of the mountain think like you, Liu Laocheng? "
Liu Laocheng shook his head and said: "No.
Jiang Shangzhen scratched his head and sighed: "So this is the most fun place. Everything that is good, we take it as a matter of course. There is no need to say more and think more. Those that are not, we grit our teeth." , can miss you for a long time. ”
Liu Laocheng was a little confused. He didn’t know what the sect master was talking about to him.
Jiang Shangzhen had changed the topic, his mood was relaxed, and there was no longer the strange emotion he had before. "In Jianghu novels, the heroes' friends all do good things and do good things. Even if they die, they will die well." In novels about gods and monsters, people's hearts fluctuate and ghosts run rampant. In the end, both good and evil are rewarded. Liu Laocheng, do you read these miscellaneous books? "
Liu Laocheng shook his head and said: "I never look at it. "
Jiang Shangzhen said with a smile: "So I need to study more. ”
Liu Laocheng knew that the sect master was telling a joke, so naturally he would not take it seriously.
This sect master was bored every day, and outside of his practice, he used blinding techniques to write in the slips Jiang Shangzhen could spend a long time wandering around the four major cities by the lake. Every time he returned, he would buy some toys for the child in the arms of the Sword Immortal Li Cai, tease the child, and teach the child to walk. Sometimes, Liu Laocheng would I feel depressed. Is it Jiang Shangzhen's unpredictable temperament that made him step by step to the high position he is today, or is it his true heart and temperament that gradually changed after he ascended the throne and became the leader of Zhenjing Sect today?
Jiang Shangzhen walked to a ferry and said, "Before Liu Zhimao went into seclusion, he asked me for the old territory including Qingxia Island and Sulin Island. He planned to give it to his disciple Gu Can. Because he doesn't know that I specially allocated the land near Yunlou City to Gu Can. However, after hearing this, the young man Gu Can, Xiao XiaoAt such an age, he actually dares to accept it. He is really starving the timid to death and overstretching the bold. "
Liu Laocheng said: "This boy, staying in Shujian Lake, may be a hidden danger to the Zhenjing Sect. "
Jiang Shangzhen turned his head and smiled playfully.
Liu Laocheng smiled frankly: "Of course it's not just me who has a grudge against him and Qingxia Island. I, Liu Laocheng, and the Zhenjing Sect should not be willing to see Gu Can rise quietly. It is a taboo to feed a tiger. "
Not just.
Jiang Shangzhen smiled and said: "What do you think Gu Can's biggest reliance is? "
Liu Laocheng said: "Of course it is Chen Pingan who is no longer in Shujian Lake, and the rules Chen Pingan taught him. Guan Yiran, who has a good relationship with Chen Ping'an, or someone else I don't know, will definitely be secretly watching Gu Can's every move. This means that of course Guan Yiran will be watching me and Liu Zhimao, and really Jing Zong. Gu Can should have already thought of these. ”
As for the so-called raising tigers for trouble.
Jiang Shangzhen was non-committal.
Although Liu Zhimao was of a lower level than Liu Laocheng, he had more dealings with the Dali court. In his early years, he had more ambitions than Liu Laocheng to be a veritable monarch of Shujian Lake, so he looked further than Liu Laocheng in certain matters. Of course, in the final analysis, Liu Zhimao's own interests were still involved, so he was very smart. There are more, and Liu Laocheng, as a wild cultivator, has a promising path, his mind is naturally more pure, and his thoughts are not so complicated.
In fact, before Liu Zhimao went into seclusion, he found it in a house in a back alley in Chishui City. Gu Can.
Jiang Shangzhen guessed why he gave the book to preach.
It was for Gu's sake. Can's profound protection.
Because Liu Zhimao also guessed Jiang Shangzhen's long-term plan.
Rather than let the Dali Song family cultivate an unknown force to target the real realm. Sect, it is better for Zhenjing Sect to take the initiative to send suitable candidates to the door.
For both parties, this is the wisest choice with the least "internal friction"
Jiang Shangzhen twice. Going to Longquan County in a big way, anyone who is not blind can see this. This is what Jiang Shangzhen deliberately asked Chen Pingan to study. Jiang Shangzhen of the Zhenjing Sect.
The bridge in the middle is Qingxia Island and Gu Can.
So the real difficulty of the Zhenjing Sect has never been Gu Can and Shujian Lake. Not even in Shen Gaozong.
But after two major trends, one was that the Great Li Cavalry annexed a continent and then blocked another even bigger trend. , is the critical moment when Zhenjing Sect needs to change from choice to decision.
However, not to mention Liu Laocheng, even Liu Zhimao was completely kept in the dark about such a behemoth as Zhenjing Sect. , just put it in the eyes of the two wild cultivators, will they think more about some deep knowledge that seems to have nothing to do with them??
Shanze Yexiu, besides his own cultivation level and his bigger fists, what else does he know?
I have had enough of the eye-rolling and suppression from the Immortal Master of Genealogy for a lifetime, but in the end, I still dreamed that realm is all that matters.
If you don’t think about it carefully, why does the Jade Gui Sect have a master who is about to ascend to the next level? Why can Jiang Shangzhen have the family fortune he has today? The order of things cannot be mistaken. Nowadays, among the three religions and hundreds of schools with strict rules, in the earliest days, who was not a mud-legged person living on the earth? Who is not a puppet in the hands of a superior god?
It’s not that Jiang Shangzhen looks down on the wild cultivators in the world. In fact, he traveled to Luzhou in Beiju and worked as a wild cultivator for many years, and he was very good as a wild cultivator.
Jiang Shangzhen looked at the rippling green lake of books and said softly: "Masters' rulers are not too many, but too few. If they are beaten too lightly, the disciples will always be forgetful. Don't forget to beat me, but no one has ever thought about whether the masters have their own money to worry about, and whether they will be disappointed one day. All people in the world who like to be calm and reasonable will be truly desperate once they are disappointed. ."
Liu Laocheng still didn't feel much in his heart.
Jiang Shangzhen suddenly turned around and asked: "A sect master from the Jade Pure Realm is talking to you heart and soul, so you don't have to listen. What about the Immortal Realm?"
Liu Laocheng was immediately stunned. Creepy.
Jiang Shangzhen said with a smile: "Those who don't know are not guilty. After all, the sages have said that they will punish those who do not teach them and call them cruel."
Jiang Shangzhen rubbed his chin, "It shouldn't have been so early. To tell you the truth, the mountain-holding treasure I hid in my maid Ya'er is the real life and death between you and Liu Zhimao. But I have changed my mind now because I suddenly want to understand something. Ze Yexiu is reasonable and his fists are enough. Spending too much time is simply delaying me, Jiang Shangzhen, from spending money."
It's not a delay in making money, it's a delay in his spending money.
Liu Laocheng was expressionless and did not say a word.
The long-lost predicament and danger, the long-lost murderous intent.
Jiang Shangzhen sighed, "I used to think that everyone, no matter good or bad, up or down the mountain, will become smarter when they reach a higher altitude. But after looking at it for so many years, in fact, I'm quite disappointed. Liu Laocheng, if you don't pay close attention, really cultivate your mind, and change the fundamental context of your thoughts, even Liu Zhimao can leave you behind, let alone catch up with me. Of course, there is also Gu Can. Sooner or later, you will become the chief minister. It is a big joke. You will be like an ant for a long time in the future, and you will not be able to kill him in your life. Liu Zhimao is already on an equal footing with you, but I, Jiang Shangzhen, need to look up even more."
Jiang Shangzhen raised his hand, shook his sleeves, rolled his hands around, and rolled out a green drop of water essence, and then. Gently crush it with two fingers, "Do you think you shouldWhen the accountant came to the island to see you, was he looking up to you? No, what he respected and respected were the rules that had gathered around you at that time. But sooner or later, it may not take too long, maybe a few decades? A dozen? Even if you, Liu Laocheng, stand on the top of Gongliu Island and that person stands on the ferry here, you will feel like a dwarf. "
Liu Laocheng said: "I have learned a lesson. "
Jiang Shangzhen smiled and said: "Sure enough, the words spoken in the immortal realm are more pleasant to listen to. So you should study hard, and I should practice hard. "
Liu Laocheng sighed.
Jiang Shangzhen said for no reason: "Maybe one day, I may return to Tongyezhou to take charge of the Yugui Sect, and then you will be the leader of the Zhenjing Sect. As the next sect master, Liu Zhimao, you can suppress the bottleneck of the Jade Pu Realm so that he doesn’t even have the courage to break through the mirror and reach the Immortal Realm. If you are in a good mood at that time and feel that there is no threat to you, Just be generous and let him ascend to the Immortal Realm and let him create the next sect of the Aquarius Continent True Realm Sect.
Jiang Shangzhen put his hands in his sleeves and said, "This is not to paint a cake for you Liu Laocheng. I, Jiang Shangzhen, am not so mean." ”
Liu Laocheng seems to have realized something.
Nowadays, Zhenjing Sect has someone specializing in collecting all the landscape reports on Tongyezhou. Among them, there are rumors that the immortal family in Tongyezhou is stable. The leader of the No. 1 Jade Gui Sect may have gone into seclusion
Pursuing the mysterious and mysterious realm of ascension
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page. )
The sect leader Xun Yuan and Liu Laocheng are actually not strangers. After all, they have traveled a long way to the Aquarius Island landscape together.
In fact, Liu Laocheng is the Zhenjing Sect appointed by Xun Yuan.
But for Jiang Shangzhen, this little incense is useless.
Liu Laocheng took a deep breath and felt that the world was so big that it was rare to give birth to one. Feeling ambitious, he nodded and said solemnly: "Then from now on, I, Mr. Liu, can sincerely work for my Zhenjing Sect, through life and death! "
Jiang Shangzhen turned his head and patted Liu Laocheng's shoulder gently, "My family doesn't speak the same language as the two families. I said something unpleasant before, so please don't mind, Brother Liu." "
Liu Laocheng hesitated for a moment.
Jiang Shangzhen said: "My family, of course you can say a few unpleasant words. You don't mind. I am a person who doesn't worry about anything but worries. Too much money.
Liu Laocheng said with a straight face: "Sect Master Jiang, why do you deserve a beating so much?" "
Jiang Shangzhen rubbed his cheek, thought for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "Probably because you are not a woman. ”
————
Over in the Qingluan Kingdom, there was a handsome young man in white who took an old man and a young boy to visit all the scenic spots in half the country.
Before this, this young man "picked up" a piece of gold from a man whose family had fallen into disgrace at Fengweidu, the hometown of Liu Laocheng, the only wild cultivator of the fifth realm in Aquarius Continent. The Jade Seal of Wenjingguo’s Subjugation
However.This Wenjing Kingdom was not destroyed by the horses of the Great Li Cavalry, but by an earlier old almanac.
The subjugated prince of Wenjing Kingdom never seemed to have any thoughts of restoring his country. After so many years, he has never left the mountain and is still practicing Taoism on the mountain.
And in this way, even if Wen Jingguo still has some residual luck, it is actually equivalent to completely ending the country.
Because it is an iron law in the world that no monk in the fifth realm can become an emperor or monarch.
In addition to this jade seal purchased at a low price, the young man also went to see the old apricot tree, the "Emperor Tree", the "Prime Minister Tree", and the "General Apricot". One tree has three imperial seals, and the young man in white Stopping there, with an empty stomach at the bottom of the big tree, the young man squatted in the hole of the tree and muttered for a long time.
On the way, the young man who got the jade seal used the reason of "collecting it for completeness" and walked to a certain mountain to make a bet with an old monk who was walking on the Fulong Road. First, after winning, bet two on two, and almost win another round, then continue to bet all on the table, bet four on four, and finally bet eight on eight, winning the opponent and leaving only two jade seals. , that foreigner surnamed Cui was so addicted to gambling that he even threatened to use the sixteen treasures he had obtained to bet the other party's only two remaining ones, but he still won.
Just like this, relying on shitty luck, the boy in white got the remaining sixteen treasures of Wenjing Kingdom inexplicably. He swaggered down the mountain and packed all the priceless jade seals in cotton bags. It was carried by a frail child, and it made a clanking sound on the way down the mountain.
The old servant Liuli Xianwen always felt chills on his back on the way down the mountain. The mountain protection formation would be opened at any time, and then someone would close the door and beat the dog. Of course, it was hard to say who beat whom in the end. . But the old monk was worried that if the magic weapon didn't have eyes, and Master Cui couldn't take care of it, he would be accidentally killed. The old monk knew very well that the only thing Master Cui Xian cared about was the little fool with cloudy eyes.
Fortunately, the gambling luck on that mountain finally improved for once and I didn’t take action.
This group of three people walked frequently.
I have seen Yunxiao Kingdom’s so-called cavalry performance in the capital, and enjoyed the Mid-Autumn Festival Lantern Festival in the capital of Qingshan Kingdom. It is a pity that the old monk was not able to see the eccentric "plump and five beauties" of the Qingshan Kingdom Emperor, which is a bit regretful. , otherwise it would be nice to gain some knowledge. However, Cui Xianshi bought a popular "Qian Materia Medica". It was either a rare imperial book or an ordinary book store. He often read it while walking on the mountain trails and said it was a bit chewy.
After crossing the border of Qingluan Kingdom, Cui Xianshi walked even slower. He often took out a jade seal and rubbed it on the face of the child he nicknamed "Brother Gao".
The Glazed Immortal has always been like the servant porter of a rich man traveling to study, carrying a glove box.
However, he feels that compared to the "Brother Gao" who is often ridden, he is actually very lucky, so he often tells himself to cherish his blessings.
As for many of Mr. Cui’s casual behaviors, the old monk has alreadyDon't be surprised.
For example, among a group of wild cultivators in the mountains, one of the three was named Lu Yangzhen. They met by chance. After walking together for a while, Liuli Xianweng couldn't figure out what kind of ant wild cultivators there were. What qualifications did he have to have a pleasant conversation with Master Cui? In the end, he got an opportunity deliberately left by Master Cui. It was a rain shelter cave and "accidentally" triggered the mechanism. As a result, one of the formation masters was a great blessing. God, I got a large pile of talisman paper called Huang Xi. If converted into fairy money, it would definitely be a huge windfall. The other two, Lu Yangzhen and others, also gained a lot. I believe those three people felt as if they had stepped in dog shit. When they raised their feet and looked up, they were about to curse, but there was gold hidden under the dog shit.
Liu Lixianweng looked at the three wild cultivators who were ecstatic at that time. After discussing it, he showed some enthusiasm and wanted to give some of the immortal money to Cui Daxian. Cui Daxian The teacher actually smiled and accepted it with a look of "unexpected joy" and "tears of gratitude". Liuli Xianweng was beside him, feeling uncomfortable.
But I can’t figure out what to do? Then don't think about it. Liuli Xianweng, an evil cultivator of the evil way, is very clear about some things.
As for Rouge Studio, where the female monks from Yunxiao Kingdom gathered together, the young man in white stood at the gate of the mountain with his hands on his hips, shouting and selling his fairy erotic pictures. Then, of course, the deal failed to be negotiated, Renyi was not around, and he could only be chased down the mountain by a large group of female monks.
This kind of thing is not a big deal at all.
Liu Li Xianweng feels that he has successfully cultivated his mind along the way!
Except for these jokes.
Master Cui occasionally became a little serious, which impressed the old monk even more.
In the Jingui Temple, Cui Xianshi and the temple master sat and discussed the Tao.
While chatting, the old viewer fell into a state of forgetfulness.
The temple master’s name is Zhang Guo, and he has a cultivation level in the Dragon Gate realm. He seems to be showing signs of reaching the Golden Core realm all of a sudden.
The Liuli Immortal was filled with envy.
In the Baishui Temple where the spring water was rolling down on the ground, Master Cui Xian sat on a well whose mouth was blocked for unknown reasons, and began to talk with a young monk who preached far more outside the temple than inside the temple. Lectures on the scriptures.
Both of them are dressed in white.
One Confucian and one monk.
The two sides first debated that "the word "deviate from the scriptures" is the theory of demons.
Liu Lixian Weng was just listening to the Heavenly Book and was not interested at all.
The child "Brother Gao" squatted on the side of the bamboo door, listening to everyone inside talking about their own ideas. The child was babbling a little, but still couldn't speak.
Finally, Cui Xianshi, who was fluttering in white clothes, sat cross-legged on a well blocked by bluestones. He smiled and said a few Zen words one after another, "The ten directions will be cut off, and the thousand eyes will be cut off? Why not sit down and cut off the world?" Human tongue? Then you want to kick the rosette over and smash the Buddha's head into pieces?" Then he slapped it and broke the bluestone blocking the well.
The young man dressed in white hovered over the mouth of the well, and thenHe laughed and asked: "The old monk also has the spirit of a cat, but he doesn't dare to bark in front of others?"
The monk in white lowered his head, clasped his hands, and chanted softly.
Master Cui Xian finally smiled and said: "The Buddhist scriptures are a bit heavy, so you can only put them down if you can lift them. The two doors in the west cannot be opened if you cannot see through them."
The young monk raised his head. , smiled knowingly, and said slowly: "The chess master is as good as you and the world is young, and the stupidity is as stupid as my own."
Then Liuli Immortal saw his own Master Cui, who seemed to have finished talking, and jumped After getting down into the well, he laughed and walked away, patting the child on the head, and the three of them left Baishui Temple together. < /p>
Liu Li Xianweng didn’t understand anything anyway, he just didn’t know how to pretend to understand. He nodded and said: "Master Immortal, in addition to your great knowledge, I never thought that you are so high in Taoism and Dharma. You really want to participate in the three religions." The debate is over."
The boy in white laughed and scolded: "Fuck you!"
The Liuli Immortal smiled awkwardly, but still nodded: "Master Immortal. "Yes."
The young man in white turned his head and said, "You are quite wise. Why don't you stay here and become a monk?"
The Glazed Immortal said with a mournful face: "No, I can't." I really don’t have the wisdom to practice Buddhism!”
Then Cui Dongshan took the old man and the young boy to the capital of Qingluan Kingdom.
I met the owner of a small Taoist temple.
The Taoist temple is called Baiyun Temple. It is a secluded place the size of a piece of tofu, adjacent to the back streets of the city. It is noisy with chickens crowing and dogs barking, children playing, and vendors hawking.
Cui Dongshan stayed there for a few days and donated a lot of money for sesame oil. Of course, he also borrowed and read books. This visitor did not have much else but a large collection of books. Moreover, the unknown middle-aged Taoist priest had nearly a million words in his various reading experiences. Cui Dongshan read more of these. The owner of the temple was not too self-conscious and was happy to have people read it. The key point was that this foreign boy who was on a study tour was also a generous pilgrim, so his Baiyun Temple was finally not in trouble.
In the early morning when Cui Dongshan said goodbye and left, a little Taoist boy who had finally lived a fairy life for a few days was really reluctant to let him go, and his nose was full of tears. The master is feeling a little sad. How incompetent do I think he is as a master?
Cui Dongshan walked for less than half a day.
The little Taoist boy was still complaining there, a little absent-minded while sweeping the fallen leaves on the floor of the Taoist temple with a broom.
Then seven or eight oxcarts arrived outside Baiyun Temple, saying they were delivering books.
The bullock cart was filled with various books from various schools of thought, and they were carried box by box to the small Taoist temple.
Seeing this scene, the thin middle-aged viewer was stunned.
But when the last bullock cart got on and took out a plaqueAt this time, the temple owner called the little Taoist boy who was very happy, and together they carefully carried it to the study.
There are two words written on the plaque, "Zhai Xin".
After leaving the capital of Qingluan Kingdom, Liuli Xianweng served as the driver of a carriage. Cui Dongshan sat aside and the child took a nap in the carriage.
The old monk asked softly: "Master Immortal, the master of Baiyun Temple is not a Taoist, why do you think so highly of him?"
Cui Dongshan, one on the left, one on the left. Right, up and down, waving his two snow-white sleeves, saying: "He, the two gentlemen before and after me, are the same kind of people. In peaceful times, it does not show, but in troubled times, that is..."
The old monk waited patiently for the next step, but there was no follow-up for a long time.
When the Glazed Immortal had given up the answer, Cui Dongshan smiled and said: "The best master."
Cui Dongshan stopped his hands and said slowly: "Ordinary teachers, You can make good students more knowledgeable, teach better students, and supervise bad students. They are willing to persuade people to correct their mistakes and become good. As for the best teachers in the world, they are all willing to understand the world without education. I wish you the utmost patience and kindness. No matter where they go, the school and the sound of books are actually there. Some people think it’s noisy, but it doesn’t matter. Others can listen, and that’s fine. ”
Cui Dongshan smiled and said: "So they are not tinkers who are shaking the world, but they are the clear springs that are the source of people's hearts in the world. The water goes down and passes by everyone's feet, so they are not high. Anyone can bow their head and bend down. , grab the water and drink it."
Cui Dongshan suddenly stood up and raised his arms as if holding a wine glass. At this moment, the young man in white stood upright with high spirits, "There are many fat, sweet and greasy things in the world. , It is natural and right for everyone to yearn for it, and it should be so. But when you are thirsty, there is water to drink. Isn’t it joyful and unfortunate?” .
Sigh.
Master Cui Daxian always says some weird things that make people confused.
As a result, the old monk was kicked on the back of the head, and the man cursed: "Damn it, you didn't say a word of flattery or applaud?!"
The old monk was shocked. I jumped so much that I quickly started drafting and thinking about my words.
It's just such flattering words, it's not that there is always such a thing, not to mention such a scare to Master Cui, Liuli Immortal even racked his brains and couldn't think of any suitable words.
Fortunately, the man behind him had already said: "Forget it, you will never be lucky enough to go to Luopo Mountain in your life."
Then Liuli Xianweng felt a little more relaxed.
Because around the carriage, blue birds made of origami were flying around like living creatures.
It is not the yellow seal talisman that ordinary monks in the Fifth Realm buy with a lot of money.
It is the "Innocence Talisman" made of material and color like the sky clearing after rain. It is said to be the special talisman paper of the Taoist sect's Baogao, which is extremely rare and expensive.
The old monk is also half an expert in the talisman lineage.
So I still know the bottom of the worldThe most mysterious talisman is a kind of cyan talisman that contains the true meaning of the saint. It has no exact name.
It’s just that these Baogao Innocence Talismans were casually used to make origami birds.
Master Cui, is it really suitable?
It would be nice if you gave me a few as family heirlooms.
The old monk lamented in his heart.
In this bumpy journey, in fact, he really didn’t get any benefit at all. He could only hope that one day in the future, Master Cui Daxian would feel that he had no merit and still had a hard work of being a cow or a horse.
Just the thought of working as a cow or a horse made the old monk feel a little better.
That little idiot in the carriage is the real bully.
Cui Dongshan suddenly said: "We will take a detour instead of going to the Liu family's lion garden. We will go see a poor man."
Then the old monk followed the route given by Cui Dongshan and walked steadily. Drive south slowly.
There are many rumors about Liu's Lion Park in Qingluan Kingdom.
The head of the Liu family, the leader of the Shilin family, was in ruins in his later years and his reputation was ruined. He was reduced from a noble man who was like a literary genius in the country to a literary monster, and his poems and articles were reduced to worthless. , without even mentioning it, more dirty water was poured down, and it was inevitable. A scholarly family home, one of the four major private gardens in Qingluan Kingdom, suddenly became a place where filth and evil were hidden, and the streets and streets were filled with filth. There are also many poorly printed erotic novels in bookstores, large and small, circulating throughout the government and the public.
So when the second son Liu Qingshan returned from traveling and held a wedding banquet in the Lion Park to marry an unknown foreign girl, Old Minister Liu did not see a single close friend from his family.
As for Liu Qingfeng, the eldest son of the "righteous extermination of relatives", he was removed from the Liu family tree early. Now he does not hold a high official position. It is said that he is an assistant official in charge of water transportation. Compared with the previous county magistrate , The official has been promoted, but no one thinks that this kind of person can reach a high position in Qingluan Kingdom, where reputation is the most important. Maybe one day even the official skin will be gone, and there will definitely be no trace of it. When people ask about it, it’s not a joke worth talking about after dinner. It’s too boring.
Furthermore, today's Qingluan Kingdom is prospering and its national destiny is prosperous.
Talents are springing up in large numbers in temples, mountains, rivers and lakes, and scholars, springing up like bamboo shoots after the rain, creating a great atmosphere.
For example, there is a child who is only six years old. In just one year, the name of the child prodigy has spread throughout the government and the public. At this year’s Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival in Beijing, the young child prodigy was ordered to come to Beijing and was honored by His Majesty the Emperor. The Empress and the Empress summoned her up the stairs, and the Empress, who doted on the child at first sight, held her affectionately in her lap. His Majesty the Emperor personally tested the prodigy's poems and asked the child to compose an impromptu poem according to the proposition. The child was held in the arms of the queen. After thinking for a moment, he wrote a poem. His Majesty the Emperor, Long Yan, was so happy that he unexpectedly gave the child the official position of "Da Zhouzheng". This is an official candidate. Although he is not a full-time official, he is a serious official. has an official status, which means that this child is extremely
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
It is possible that he is the youngest civil servant not only in Qingluan Kingdom, but in the entire history of Aquarius Continent!
At this moment, winter is about to begin.
On the bank of a Cao River that has not yet been completely dredged, on a quiet road, on the roof of a bumpy carriage, a boy in white is sitting cross-legged. The child is holding a paper kite, a specialty of Qingluan Country, in his hand. It's called Wood Harrier.
As long as the silk thread continues, all the paper kites in the world are destined to fly high, but they cannot go far.
Cui Dongshan lay down on his back and stared blankly at the paper kite in the sky.
My husband, how are you doing now?
————
The reopening of water transportation is extremely complicated and involves all aspects of Qingluan Kingdom. Therefore, the imperial court does not blindly pursue speed, and progress appears to be slow.
The officials who are in charge of this matter are not of high rank. There are three of them. Two are Lijing doctors who were transferred from the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Works respectively, and there is also a state where the main road of a certain section of water transportation is located. The governor of the city, because the court did not publicize this matter in a big way, the government and the public in Qingluan Kingdom did not pay much attention to it. It seems that the two Beijing officials are more pragmatic. The local governor is pragmatic, but in fact it is not the case. On the contrary, the governor The governor, who originally thought it was just a formality, actually arrived at the makeshift government office by the Cao River, only to find that the two noble doctors, whose rank was not as good as his own, actually seemed to have a plan in mind. The regulations were detailed, rigid and almost cumbersome. As for him, a feudal official who was familiar with local government affairs, he felt that he couldn't get involved, so he could just follow the steps.
In addition to two senior fifth-rank doctors from the capital in the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Works, there is also an auxiliary official from the fifth rank, whose surname is Liu Mingqingfeng.
Master Governor Hong really despises this backward official surnamed Liu. Selling his friends for glory in the world is already despised by everyone. He is a bastard who sells his father for glory in the officialdom. Hong The governor felt that he had to change into an official robe every day to discuss matters with such people, which made him feel uncomfortable even after drinking a cup of tea.
For more than half a year, Governor Hong has always felt that Liu Qingfeng’s nose is not his nose and his eyes are not his eyes. The two officials from the capital seemed to understand Mr. Hong’s mood very well and deliberately turned a blind eye to it. As for Liu Qingfeng himself, he was probably Because of his small official hat and guilty conscience, he had been pretending to be respectful to Governor Hong, and many details of the dredging of the Cao River were discussed at the table. Liu Qingfeng almost never spoke proactively, and would only speak when two officials from the capital asked for details. .
On this day, in a village next to a section of the Cao River, there was a lively bamboo horse dance to watch.
A scholar who had walked the entire length of the Old Cao River twice, and a young scholar named Liu Ming, sat together on the top of a low yellow mud wall, looking at it from a distance. The gongs and drums are noisy, and the bamboo horse is made of bamboo strips. The bamboo horse is wrapped in five-color cloth, divided into two sections, front and back, and hung on the waist of the bamboo horse dancer. According to local customs, those in formal clothes ride a red horse, and those in green clothes ride a yellow horse. , a woman rides a green horse, a scholar rides a white horse, and a warrior rides a black horse, each with its own meaning.
ReadingIn fact, you can no longer tell that he is a scholar with official status. His skin is tanned and shiny, and he is wearing coarse linen clothes. The only thing on his feet is a pair of very strong but old suede boots, which are not something ordinary villagers can have. .
Not every village will go through the bamboo jumping horse. It depends on which village pays. If the money is more, the bamboo horse will dance according to the price.
This village obviously provides a lot of money, so the bamboo horse dance is particularly exciting.
There were many libertines and tall young men near the wall who came from other villages to join in the fun.
He pointed at the girl in the wealthy village and talked freely, saying that the girl from a certain family would definitely have big breasts in the future, and that the girl from a certain family would definitely have a son. There was laughter and laughter, and some people were arguing about which girl was the prettiest, and who was the prettiest girl within dozens of miles around. Anyway, everyone had their own preferences.
The scholar also looked at the women they pointed at, and made no secret of his appreciation. The scholar sitting next to him felt a little helpless, "Master, why are you so unruly?"
The scholar smiled and said: "The nature of a woman is that it is most difficult to be white. In fact, being fat or thin does not matter."
The scholar said helplessly: "Master, you can just say so."
p>
The scholar smiled and said: "You are still young, and you will understand in the future that a woman's face is not the most important, but a good figure is the best."
The scholar rolled his eyes, "Master, I understand what these are doing. I haven’t read a few books, but I still have to get a meritorious service and become an official like the master."
The scholar nodded, "You are a good scholar, and you will definitely be an official in the future. ”
The book boy was immediately elated.
No matter what the master says, it is always accurate!
Far away from them, close by the dancing bamboo horse, there were constant cheers and cheers.
On the other hand, there were a lot of spectators near the wall on their side. Many of them were picky and disapproving. There were more sneers and sparse applause. < /p>
Liu Qingfeng said in a low voice: "Of course it's good, but we don't have to spend money, so why should we say yes? Which of the good things in the world doesn't need to cost money?"
A book boy Wu Shui asked, "What's the truth?"
Liu Qingfeng smiled slightly, stopped talking, and touched the young man's head, "Don't think too much about this, you are in a good time to study now."< /p>
The book boy nodded, remembered something, and asked curiously: "Why do you, sir, only look at the historical files on the taxation of the Ministry of Household recently?"
The book boy still doesn't know yet, this is not his family. Now that the master is an official, he can read it, and someone even sent it to the desk quietly.
Liu Qingfeng said softly: "Looking through the history books, it is found that later emperors asked people to write about the personnel of the previous dynasties. It is inevitable that there will be distortion, but only moneyWhen it comes to coming in and out, you are the least likely to lie. Therefore, when we study history, if we have the opportunity, we must look at the life experiences of those who were in charge of financial power in the past dynasties, as well as their process of minting and promoting various types of money. Taking one person as the point, taking the profit and loss of the national treasury as the line, and then spreading it out, it will be easier to see clearly the gains and losses of the national policy. "
The book boy scratched his head.
Liu Qingfeng looked at the hustle and bustle in the distance and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry. If you want to read in the future, I will have it here. ”
The book boy was a little happy to see that the master liked to chat today.
Because the two surveys at the beginning and end of the Cao River were really tiring, and the master didn’t like him very much at that time. When talking, he just looked at the mountains and rivers that were the same and wrote notes silently.
The book boy took advantage of the master's willingness to talk more, so he asked more, "Master, why are you here? Do you have to chat with the masters and gentlemen from schools in cities and rural areas? "
Liu Qingfeng said: "Where did the seeds of reading come from? After the parents in the family, comes the teacher. Why isn’t it an important thing for us scholars to care about? Is it possible that scholars who are full of knowledge and willing to cultivate themselves and their families will fall from the sky out of thin air? "
The book boy hummed, "The master still makes sense. "
Liu Qingfeng smiled slightly and said, "You can think about this matter carefully now. "
The book boy nodded and said: "Okay! ”
Suddenly, a group of young and strong men and tall teenagers came flying towards them. Seeing Liu Qingfeng and Shutong’s feng shui treasure, one of them jumped up on the wall and said, “Get out of here.” "
The young scholar had an angry look on his face.
I never thought that my master had already stood up and silently jumped off the low wall without saying anything. The young man had no choice but to follow suit and go He was looking at the dancing bamboo horse somewhere else, but when he looked at it again, it became unreal.
It made the young man very angry.
Liu Qingfeng stood somewhere else, stretching his neck and standing on tiptoe. Heel, continue to watch the bamboo horse dancing in the village.
The boy is unhappy.
My master is good at everything, but he has a bad temper.
“If you don’t talk about right and wrong with others, in the end you will be the one who is right and wrong. ”
Liu Qingfeng smiled and said: “Don’t compete with hypocrites for fame, don’t compete with true villains for profit, don’t compete with stubborn people for reason, don’t compete with ordinary men for courage, don’t compete with scornful scholars for talents.” Do not show favor to fools. ”
There is no need to argue.
In fact, there is still a lesson in arguing.
However, Liu Qingfeng felt that it would be better to talk to the boy next to him later.
p>
It is not a good thing for a young scholar to just think about big principles without paying attention to his studies.
As long as he does not make big mistakes,
Young man Liu Bei must have courage. For the first time, he refuted his omniscient master, “If we don’t fight for anything, then don’t we have nothing? It’s such a disadvantage. There is no truth in living by giving in every step of the way. I think this is not good! ”
Liu Qingfeng smiled and said: "Think about it again."
Liu Ming shook his head and said: "I just can't understand."
Liu Qingfeng withdrew his gaze and turned around to look The young man joked: "How can you be my book boy if you are so stupid?"
Liu Ming chuckled.
Liu Qingfeng suddenly said: "Let's go."
Liu Bei left with the master.
Liu Qingfeng walked slowly, thinking about some things that were either small or big.
Liu Ming originally had problems, but as soon as she saw the master like this, she knew that she could not disturb the master.
Liu Qingfeng would only stand by and watch what Li Baozhen was doing now.
Li Baozhen’s ambition, or ambition, is actually not small.
This one of the several leaders of the Lvbo Pavilion spies in the south of Dali is making an attempt to plan carefully from the bottom. He is a scholar, a hero, a scholar leader, and a temple official. After he, Li Baozhen, entered the Qingluan Kingdom, everyone began to be chess pieces controlled by him. Nowadays, almost all of them are young and ignorant children, such as the child prodigy who was awarded the title of "Great Zhou Zheng".
It sounds very rude, full of conspiracy, and appears sinister and murderous, but in fact it is not the case.
Li Baozhen is like building a house. His first goal is not to be the behind-the-scenes emperor of Qingluan Kingdom, but to be able to one day change the fate of the Immortal Family on that mountain. They can all be controlled by secular dynasties. The reason is very simple. Even the Taoist embryos were sent to the mountains by me, Li Baozhen, and the Dali court. Year after year, the Taoist embryos became some kind of founder or a large group of mountain monasteries. Zhu, after a long time, it will be easy to make sense when we talk about the rules at the foot of the mountain.
During this period, Wei Liang, the governor of Qingluan Kingdom, watched with cold eyes, and occasionally formulated several rules that Li Baozhen himself must abide by.
Liu Qingfeng could clearly see Li Baozhen’s plan, from his intentions to his tactics. To put it bluntly, it was either the leftovers from Liu Qingfeng’s fun, or the leftovers that Liu Qingfeng deliberately left for Li Baozhen. .
For example, since this year, several literary celebrities in Qingluan Kingdom have gained notoriety.
How to do it? It was still the same three-point ax that Liu Qingfeng taught Li Baozhen back then. He first praised those people, saying that those people's poems and articles were worthy of worshiping saints, and bragging about those people's characters to the altar of moral saints.
Then someone came out and said a few words of approval, and then quietly began to gain momentum and began to lead the public opinion in the literary world, inducing neutral people to sincerely hate those few moral saints who actually felt inexplicable to themselves.
In the end, it’s even simpler. Aren’t you morally flawless saints? Then use random nonsense, arrange it in a big way, and criticize those people for their lack of personal ethics. At this time, it was the turn of the Jianghu and the market to exert their efforts. The traveling storytellers and private bookstore owners began to take turns to fight. Of course, there was also a group of "imperial" literati whom Li Baozhen had secretly won over. They began to feel sad and righteous.Speak up. In the end, do the common people who are ruined and unknowingly contribute to the flames really care about the truth? There may be some, but they are destined not to be many. The vast majority of them are just watching the fun, aren't they? Just like Liu Qingfeng today, watching the excitement of the bamboo horse from a distance?
Why should we look at the people who are just trying to be lively and ask them to think too much?
Liu Qingfeng will not.
What’s more, there is never any excitement in the world that never ends.
After the hustle and bustle, there is deathly silence.
This has always been the case.
Liu Qingfeng smiled and said to himself: "I'm off to a good start."
What's more, Li Baozhen is very smart and can easily draw inferences.
Liu Qingfeng suddenly stopped and said to the young man beside him: "Liu Ming, remember, if one day in the future, no matter who comes to advise you to harm me, whether it is to serve as a long-term hidden chess piece, , or a hasty assassination, you just nod and agree. Not only do you agree to the other party, you also have to use all your means and do your best without any hesitation or mercy."
The young scholar's face turned pale.
My mind is blank.
I don’t understand why my master would say such scary words.
Liu Qingfeng looked as usual and said softly: "Because you will definitely not succeed. By keeping you by my side, I am actually hurting you once, so I must save you once. To save you from the so-called morality, You died in vain. During this period, how much you can learn from me, how much you accumulate connections, and what position you eventually climb to are all your own. As for why I want to keep you by my side even though I know this. Do you know whether you can become the second Li Baozhen, and be smarter than him, so smart that you will eventually truly benefit the world?"
The young scholar's face was filled with tears, because he was frightened by this strange master. Arrived.
Liu Qingfeng asked softly: "Do you remember?"
The young man wiped his tears and nodded.
Liu Qingfeng smiled and said: "Very good, then from now on, you have to try to forget these. Otherwise you will not be able to deceive Li Baozhen."
After a while, Liu Qingfeng was rarely surprised.
Because a young man in white walked towards him, but the personal guard sent to him by Dali did not show up from the beginning to the end.
The young man held a paper kite in his hand and smiled brightly, "Liu Qingfeng, I came here with a hoe to dig out my own walls. You will have no future if you hang around with that old bastard. Come hang with me, Cui Dongshan. Besides, what’s mine is mine, and what’s his is mine, so there’s no need to be polite to him. I’m the biggest in the whole south of Aquarius Continent, and the old bastard has nothing to do with it.”
Liu Qingfeng smiled and said: "This is a bit difficult."
Liu Qingfeng can now read all the confidential information of Lubo Pavilion, so he can roughly guess the other party's hidden identity, even if it is only on the surface. With his identity, the other party is actually enough to say these treacherous words.
Cui Dongshan threw the paper kite in his hand to Liu Qingfeng. After Liu Qingfeng caught it, he looked down and saw that there was no thread, and smiled.
Liu Qingfeng raised his head, shook his head and said: "You should know that I, Liu Qingfeng, do not have this ambition. Self-preservation and freedom have never been what we scholars pursue."
Cui Dongshan strode forward, tilted his head, and stretched out his hand: "Then you give it back to me."
Liu Qingfeng smiled and said: "Of course someone gives it to me for free, which is better, so I will accept it and not give it back." "
Cui Dongshan clicked his tongue and said: "Liu Qingfeng, if you continue to be so interested in me, I will help my husband recruit a disciple for you!"
Liu Qingfeng! Qingfeng asked with a smile: "I wonder who Mr. Cui's husband is?"
Cui Dongshan stood there with his feet still, shrugging his shoulders, very naughty, and said with a smile: "You I've seen it before."
Liu Qingfeng thought for a moment, "I can't guess."
Cui Dongshan laughed and said, "To show my sincerity, I won't talk to you. You're lying, my husband is the one who caused your bullock cart to fall into the water." Liu Qingfeng was stunned for a long time and asked tentatively: "Chen Pingan?"
Cui Dongshan was also stunned for a moment, and in an instant, he came to Liu Qingfeng, jumped up slightly, and slapped Liu Qingfeng hard on the head. Liu Qingfeng staggered and almost fell down. He just heard the man's anger. Cursed: "How dare you call my husband by his first name?!"
