Sword comes

Chapter 908

On the southeast coast of Aquarius Island, a young man and a woman visited a framed shop in a county town, and then went to a wine shop next door. They picked a table next to the wall. Ask for an extra plate of salted plums

breast.

The man looked up at the poems on the wall inscribed by the village pedant, the woman glanced at it, picked up a sour plum, chewed it, it was really sour.

The man took out a book from the bookcase, put it on the table, and while drinking from a bowl, flipped through a book on physiognomy.

He likes to read miscellaneous books, and he even dabbles in the skills of wind horn, bird divination, and solitude on weekdays.The euphemistic name is that many skills do not burden one's body, and when one is outside the home, one more skill means one more job.

A woman's eyebrows are winding like a spring mountain, and when she has something on her mind, her long eyes of autumn water seem to be surrounded by clouds, water and mist.

She seemed to have something on her mind, frowning, and couldn't help asking in her heart: "Yu Lu, do you think I can refuse his request?" Someone sent her a letter before, saying that she planned to accept her as a registered student , not counting the kind of direct disciple who enters the family, and when she enters the upper five realms in the future, it will be no problem to change the family or establish her own family, but the more so the other party is.

Easy to talk, the more she felt unsure.It's really because she was bullied by that guy with ulterior motives during her study tour back then.

Yu Lu said, "I think it's actually a good thing."

This is something that is destined to be irresistible, so it is useless to think about it.It's just that Yu Lu didn't say this sentence, lest Xie Xie be more worried after hearing it.

After all, the sender is Cui Dongshan.

Xie Xie said angrily: "What do you think?! Then why don't you become his registered disciple."

Yu Lu laughed it off.I am a pure martial artist, what can Cui Dongshan teach.What's more, since he has such a relationship with Chen Pingan, Cui Dongshan really dare not take advantage of him.

Xie Xie also knew that he was so annoyed that it was unreasonable to vent his anger on Lu, so he raised his wine bowl as an apology.Yu Lu patiently explained: "Now that his identity has changed, Cui Dongshan will soon become the master of a sect, and he will restrain himself a lot when getting along with you in the future. What's more, Cui Dongshan has a high realm and many magic weapons. Leaving aside his weird temper, let him be the master of the sect. preacher, right

For any earth immortal, it is a good thing that dreams of. "

Thanks still worried.

"Normal", "common", and "reasonably speaking", these terms never work for that big white goose.Thank you for holding back your smile, and said with a serious look: "If you can't save face, it's okay. I'll find a chance to say hello to Chen Ping'an in private when you go back to Xiandu Mountain. You can't trust Cui Dongshan anymore. You can always trust Chen Pingan

,Right?It is estimated that there is no need for me to say anything, Chen Pingan will say a few harsh words for you in Cui Dongshan, no matter how lawless Cui Dongshan is, he dare not not listen to his husband's lesson. "

Thank you for a little peace of mind, sighed, "I hope so."

She sincerely envied Yu Lu, and even dared to call the big white goose by its first name, but she couldn't.

At first, I thought that Cui Dongshan was the suzerain of the next sect, each in one continent, so far away in the sky, so after receiving that letter, let Xie Xie worry all day long these days, practice has been delayed, and he can't concentrate.

When a group of people traveled far away to the Sui Mountain Cliff Academy, Yu Lu quickly became a martial artist in the Golden Body Realm, but after so many years, he is still in the Emerald Realm who traveled far and wide.

No matter how big-hearted Yu Lu is, no matter how indifferent he is about winning or losing, he still feels a little guilty.After all, in the whole 30 years, Yu Lu's martial arts level has only risen to one level.

Yu Lu's natural aptitude and talent in martial arts are actually excellent. This is the sequelae of pure martial arts taking shortcuts, which makes it extremely difficult to break the bottleneck of Yu Lu's long-distance travel.

On the other hand, Xie Xie, who was later pulled out by Cui Dongshan for all the trapped dragon nails, Xie Xie's practice, can be described as smooth sailing, and now he is a golden elixir with loose bottlenecks.

One is the subjugated prince of the Lu Dynasty, and the other is the former leader of the Lu Dynasty, Xianfu, the proud daughter of heaven who has been placed with high hopes.

For these years, Yu Lu and Xie Xie, the two fellow villagers and classmates, seem to have been traveling together.

It's just that the two sides didn't have any affection between men and women.

Xie Xie asked: "I acted impulsively back then, would I regret it?" "Of course I would regret it, and I didn't have the confidence to ask Chen Ping'an. If it were you, would you be angry? I'm just kind-hearted and don't like it." Don't be too stubborn, otherwise you will not only regret it, but you will have to regret it greenly, and you must be ashamed every day,

Maybe he's an alcoholic by now. "

Yu Lu took a sip of his wine, opened a page of the book, and said with a smile, "It's just that you regret it, and you have to do what you should do. Even if you start over, it's the same choice. You will still be emotional and regret it."

Thank you for being a survivor of a prisoner in the early years. The person she hates the most is not even the Dali lady, nor Cui Dongshan who accepted her as a maid, but this His Royal Highness the prince who has no pain of subjugation. hate.

Therefore, from the Yuan family's ancestral house in Erlang Lane to traveling all the way to the Sui Dynasty, Xie Xie hated that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who had a loose temperament and looked indifferent even when the sky was falling.

Until the Shanya Academy in the Sui Dynasty, because of the turmoil caused by Li Huai, Yu Lu did not hesitate to rely on the remnants of his country's martial arts and use some secret method to get into the golden body and beat the young sage out of the academy.The best choice is for Yu Lu to rely on his own ability to steadily advance to the golden body and the distant travel realm, the eighth realm to the nine realms, or when he sprints from the top of the mountain to the end, when a certain bottleneck is difficult to break, use that share Martial arts as a stepping stone, building a ladder, and more

Go up a floor.

Thank you, so my impression of Lu has changed. Although he is heartless, he still has a little responsibility and is not useless.

It's just that when Yu Lu doesn't do his job in the academy every day, he just fishes in the lake and gets along very well with the great Sui prince Gao Xuan, thank you and start annoying him again.Now Yu Lu still likes fishing, but all the fish will be released. On the banks of the great river, Xie Xie often meets some like-minded people. Even if Yu Lu does not hold a pole, he can squat aside and watch for a long time, claiming to be fishing people like to watch

man fishing.

Yu Lu said with a smile: "Speaking of which, the foundation of remote travel that has been hard-earned for more than ten years is not too bad."

Xie Xie narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Let's not say it's better than Cao Ci and Chen Pingan, how about better than Pei Qian?"

Yu Lu said helplessly: "Then why not compare me with Chen Pingan."

How many times has Pei Qian won martial arts as the "strongest" in a certain realm?

It's really an unimaginable thing, that eccentric little lazy guy really knew how to learn boxing, and it was so good.Thank you for asking for no reason: "I never thought about it, to find a way to go up the mountain to practice? I heard that there is a Pushan Cloud Cottage on Tongyezhou, which has a unique secret method that allows martial arts to also practice immortality. You can try your luck." Well, anyway, we've been shopping around for years

After passing the entire Aquarius Continent, it is enough to visit Tongye Continent. "

Yu Lu couldn't help laughing, and after a moment of silence, he shook his head and said, "I never thought about being a fairy."

In the back room of the restaurant, someone gently raised the green bamboo curtain and lowered it heavily. Thanks for a sideways glance, it turned out to be a young girl standing behind the curtain, staring at someone affectionately.

Yo, the movement is not light, why doesn't the little girl just tear off the whole bamboo curtain, wouldn't Yu Lu hear it more clearly?

Xie Xie asked, "When are you going to visit Miss Mao and Fairy Mu?"

The two sides met two extremely brilliant young women at an ancient battlefield site and a fairy family ferry.

Thank you and you are not blind, you can tell that those two fell in love with Lu at first sight.

Yu Lu smiled and said, "It's just a perfunctory polite word. It's like meeting again when I have time. Next time I come to pay the bill, do you want to add two more dishes? Whoever listens is really stupid."

Hearing Yu Lu's funny words, Xie Xie laughed.

Among the classmates in the past, Lin Shouyi was a sage in the academy and once served as the priest of Qidu Temple.

Even Li Huai is a sage.

And now Li Baoping, who is studying in a certain academy in Shenzhou, Zhongtu, is already two gentlemen who have passed the academic examination in person by offering wine in the academy, and a female master who can preach and solve doubts for the Confucian students of the academy.

It's just that in the history of Haoran Tianxia, ​​there has never been a precedent for a woman to serve as the head of the 72 academy or the secretary of the school.

Yu Lu closed the book and asked, "When shall we go to Jiangzhou?"

Today's Dali Jiangzhou is exactly where Xie Xie's sect is located.

Because the master who thanked him back then resolutely rejected the surrender of the Dali court, which led to the collapse of the sect.

Thank you for turning pale.

Yu Lu said softly: "If you don't go, you won't pass."

Xie lowered his head, bit his lip, and finally shook his head.

Yu Lu smiled and said, "Then don't worry."

This is good for Yu Lu, as if he can do whatever he wants.

Xie Xie breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said, "I will definitely go."

It's like a promise to Lu, and it's like cheering yourself up.

Yu Lu gathered his voice together and said, "Aren't you curious about the letter Cui Dongshan sent me? Or have you already guessed the content?"

Thank you for keeping silent.

Yu Lu revealed a sad expression for the first time, and muttered to himself: "Continuing the state in a foreign country, can it really be regarded as restoring the country?" Xie Xie drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp, and said brightly: "Forget it, why not? When you arrive at Tongye Continent, choose a place. It doesn’t matter if the territory is small. First, plan carefully for 20 years. When I enter the Nascent Soul Realm, you ascend the throne and proclaim yourself emperor, and I will rule the country

division! "

Xinchu Prefecture, Huaihuang County.

Li Huai took Taoist Nen, crossed the streets and alleys, and found Dong Shuijing who had made an appointment to meet here at the opening of a narrow and secluded alley.

Dong Shuijing made a special trip back to his hometown to meet Li Huai.

Li Huai joked: "Will it delay Dong Bancheng's earning a lot of money?"

Dong Shuijing smiled and said, "You don't need to stare at the account books, and you don't have to make calculations yourself, you can still make money."

Dong Shuijing led Li Huai to his ancestral house, cooked for himself, cooked three bowls of wontons and served them on the table.

In the yard, next to a well, a willow tree was planted.

Li Huai just pretended that he didn't see anything, and hated that he only had one older sister.

Taoist Nen saw through Dong Shuijing's realm at a glance, so it's not surprising at all. In this old Lizhu Cave world, a young Nascent Soul Realm is not a Ascension Realm, so what's the fuss?

It's strange that my son's friend has no skills.

If he met an old Yuanying cultivator who had lived for hundreds of years on the road, Taoist Nen would probably be shocked instead, how can he practice, waste!

Maybe I have to ask in person, old boy, are you worthy of this treasured land of geomantic omen in your hometown?

Dong Shuijing seemed to sense the thoughts of the old man in yellow, and said with a smile, "Senior Taoting laughed at the realm that was only built by money."

Nen Taoist is not surprised that the other party knows his old identity, money can turn ghosts, and Dong Bancheng of Aquarius Island has a rich family background, which should not be underestimated.

Taoist Nen smiled heartily: "It doesn't matter how it came to the realm, the realm is the realm, in this magnificent world, who would dare to laugh at that God of Wealth Liu of Aiai Island? It's the same reason for you, Xiao Dong."

As soon as "Xiao Dong" was mentioned, Taoist Nen sighed endlessly, thinking back in the past, he once chased a "Xiao Dong" who passed by Shiwan Dashan.

As soon as Li Huai slapped the table, Nen Taoist shut up immediately, dare he say the wrong thing?

Li Huai gave a thumbs up, "Shuijing, delicious! Two more bowls."

It can be seen that Dong Shuijing often came to the ancestral house, and when Li Huai had another bowl of wontons, Dong Shuijing had already set up a brazier, squatted aside, simmered taro and roasted rice dumplings.

Pulling the thread and peeling the rice dumpling leaves, a rice dumpling in Dong Shuijing's hand was baked into a golden color, Li Huai was hungry again, grabbed the rice dumpling, broke half of it and gave it to Taoist Nen.Dong Shuijing had no choice but to peel off another zongzi, and the three of them sat around the stove. Dong Shuijing said softly: "The husband of the croissant, Bian Wenmao, has just been appointed as our prefect's school administrator, but he hasn't been promoted. The place is gilded, but Xuezheng, a newly established noble position in the Dali court for a few years, can't be obtained by ordinary people. Usually, they are old officials from the Six Departments of the capital who came from the Imperial Academy. There is no hope of promotion. Before returning home, His Majesty deliberately gave these civil servants a special honor. Xuezheng itself has no rank, just like the two states of Ling and Qing, which are under the jurisdiction of the capital, are divided by an old minister of the Ministry of Industry and Hong Kong. The official of Bian Wenmao is now the Prime Minister of Guanglu Temple. Chuzhou Xuezheng expires every four years. After returning to the capital, he should be the young minister of Guanglu Temple. It is unlikely that he will be in charge of Guanglu Temple in the future Most of them are transferred to the six yamen, or released to accompany the capital again, tired of officials all the way to a certain position, and finally got a ranking.

With the posthumous title of bachelor, there is hope for a good posthumous title in the future. As for being worthy of the imperial temple, it is fine, something that Bian Wenmao himself dare not think about. "

Li Huai gnawed on the zongzi with a blank expression on his face, "Huh?"

Taoist Nen was deeply moved.

Xiao Dong babbled on for a long time, and his young master only needed to answer one word concisely.

Dong Shuijing smiled and said: "You are a sage of the academy, according to the new regulations of the Confucian Temple, you will inevitably have contacts with the Dali court in the future. These seemingly tedious and boring official affairs will come into contact with you sooner or later."

Nowadays, the officialdom of Dali is frequently transferred. From the capital to the local area, the post roads are busy. It is only said that the top leaders of the prefectures, counties and counties in Xinchu Prefecture have almost all replaced with new faces.

Wu Yuan served as the governor of Chuzhou, and sadly resigned from the position of magistrate of Huaihuang County back then, which can be regarded as killing a handsome and proud back.

And Wei Li, the previous governor of Longzhou, who was born as a civil servant of Huang Tingguo, has now gone to Dali to accompany the capital to succeed the Minister of Rites.

Prior to this, Cao Gengxin, the chief officer of the Kiln Supervision and Construction Office, was transferred from the construction supervisor of Longzhou to the right servant of the Ministry of Industry, and then promoted to the servant of the Ministry of Officials in Dalijing City, and was able to rank in the center.

Yuan Zhengding was promoted to the governor of Hongzhou, the neighbor to the north.

Jing Kuan, the new prefect of Baoxi County in Chuzhou, used to be the official secretary of the household department in the capital, and was in charge of the money bags of the three states including Hongzhou.

But in fact, many times, Dong Shuijing, a hidden Mohist credit swordsman, would envy Li Huai's kind of going with the flow, or being at peace with the situation?

Li Huai said with a guilty conscience: "I know that our classmate Zhao Yao is now serving as the servant of the Ministry of Punishment of Dali."

"There is also the old county official, the former parent, and Wu Yuan is now back here, serving as the governor of Xinchu Prefecture."

"And there's Cao Duzao who likes to drink but doesn't like to drink, seems to have been transferred to the capital's official department to become a high-ranking official a few years ago?"

Dong Shuijing asked with a smile, "What else?"

Li Huai sighed, "It's gone."

Taoist Nen began to fight against injustice, "Young master, why should you stick to these common affairs that have nothing to do with the government?"

Li Huai shook his head, "Our Dali is different."

No matter how his title of sage fell from the sky, and how it fell on his head, since he became a sage, Li Huai was unwilling to do much worse than others.When I was a child, on the way to study in the wilderness at night, when Chen Pingan was helping watch the wind, he once said something in his heart to Li Huai, but now I don’t remember it clearly. ,It only

In the years when there is such a thing as reading, I am not afraid that I will not be able to remember the principles of sages and sages in those books. Okay next thing.

At that time, Li Huai said that I was just not suitable for studying.Chen Pingan said that he is not suitable for firing porcelain, and he is too slow to learn, and his hands can't keep up, but as long as he works hard, there will always be a greater chance to do well in the next thing in the future.

Taoist Nen immediately changed his tune and said, "Young master is so modest, why worry about things not being done."

It's not that Taoting has no backbone, but that the old blind man is too arrogant.

For example, on this trip to protect Li Huai, the old blind man said to Taoting that if my disciple gets a little frightened, I will break your five legs.

Poor Nun Taoist, now I am afraid that Li Huai will accidentally burn his mouth when he drinks tea. For a person who has ascended to the level of Taoism, if he is a Taoist protector, there will be no one in the future, and he is destined to be unprecedented.

Even so, the old blind man seemed to be worried about Li Huai. He was far away in the wild world. Some ancient secret technique was used. The old blind man was able to directly enter Li Huai's dream, and then dragged Taoting, who was in the Ascension Realm, into it.Nen Daoist was like returning to the Hundred Thousand Mountains. In the night, the earth trembled and there was thunder, so Li Huai got up in his "dream", ran out of the hut and went out to have a look. A piece of golden light, densely packed golden armor

Puppets, huddled together.

One of the golden-armored puppets, which was taller than the mountain, knelt on one knee at the foot of the mountain, slowly raised its huge head, gradually leveled with the mountain, and stared at Li Huai.

The old blind man walked slowly to the edge of the cliff, grabbed the arm of the disciple whom he had snatched abruptly, and together with the ghost drawing talisman, said something to Li Huai that made Taoting's eyelids tremble, "From now on, they will be under your control."

Taoting carefully peeked at Li Huai's face, unexpectedly there was no high spiritedness or ambition, only fear in his eyes.

Ugh.

My son is good at everything, but he is too unambitious to be a man.If there is a chance, I must risk my life to speak out...

Ugh?

It turned out that the back was stepped on by the old blind man, it was crunchy and broke again.

In the end, Li Huai just said, can I listen to Chen Pingan's suggestion first.

The old blind man nodded in agreement, and even helped the disciple straighten his collar. At the same time, he praised Li Huai in an old-fashioned and gratifying tone, and followed his master's prudence in doing things.

The question and answer of the two masters and apprentices made the young Taoist lying on the ground stretch his spine silently, and almost stared his dog eyes into the old blind man's sockets.

There was a knock on the door of the house.

There are visitors at the door.

In order to avoid suspicion, Li Huai got up and said goodbye.

Dong Shuijing smiled and asked to stay: "You don't have to go. It was made by our supervisor Jian. He only wanted to make contributions, but unfortunately he couldn't find the right way. He has suffered a lot in recent years." The new kiln affairs supervisor in the state, before taking office, was very high-spirited. He only thought that an idle, drunkard like Cao Gengxin could get promoted by fooling around.

It will be handled in an orderly manner.A kiln affairs supervision and construction office, in the open and in the dark, actually hangs two official plaques, so the chief official has two official titles at the same time.Including the Manufacturing Supervision Office, together with several newly built weaving bureaus in Dali, and the logging yard set up in Hongzhou, for example,

In fact, they are the eyes and ears of the emperor, and the secret information of the chief officials can reach the heavens directly.In the end, when Jian Feng really arrived in Huaihuang County, he ran into obstacles everywhere. The people in the town had complex relationships, intertwined, and extremely clumped together. , the water gods of embroidery, Okinawa, and Yuye near Hongzhu Town are all the same, including Song Yuzhang, the mountain god of Qidun Mountain, and the city gods of the city gods at all levels in the prefectures, counties and counties. Wumiao... Anyway, no one takes him seriously as a fourth-rank supervisor. When he took office, he was full of ambitions. After waiting for half a year, no one took the initiative to visit the supervisor at night. , if you don't look for me, I will look for you, but the result is that the door is closed, even if the door is entered, the two sides are fine

Chattable.

Jian Feng had no choice but to write a letter to ask Yuan Zhengding, a former friend in the capital, the former local governor, who has now been promoted to the governor of Hongzhou, for advice.

When he was a child in Yichi Lane in the capital, he liked to read at ease just like the older Yuan Zhengding, without hearing anything outside the window.

Yuan Zhengding did reply to a letter, but it turned out to be a blank piece of paper, without writing a single word on the letter.

However, after Jian Feng figured out some officialdom skills, he began to imitate the former supervisor by pinching his nose, watching more, listening more, talking less and going out less.

Fortunately, there is no age limit for the post of supervisor.

It's just that it's not a problem to always stare like this, so as soon as he heard that Dong Bancheng had returned to his ancestral home in his hometown, Jian Feng immediately paid a visit, of course it was a private visit in a micro-service.

Seeing the young man in Confucian shirt and the old man in yellow, Jian Feng said politely.

I know Li Huai, he is a native of the town, and now he is a sage of Shanya Academy.As for the old man with a kind face, he is an unfamiliar face, and there is no relevant secret record at the Supervision Office. Stay by ferry as usual

Customs clearance records.

Dong Shuijing didn't seem to understand official rules at all, he didn't let Li Huai and the old man leave this slightly shabby room, and he didn't even mean to let them move.

If he had just taken office, Jian Feng would probably be displeased, because he has eaten too much soft nails and closed doors, and has already polished his edges and temper.Dong Shuijing invited Supervisor Jian to sit down, and then handed over a rice dumpling. Jian Feng thanked him, patted the dust on the rice dumpling familiarly, and ate it after brushing it away. This kind of thing does not need Jian Feng to pretend to be approachable , although the large

He was born in the Li family, but Jianfeng studied at Chunshan Academy for many years in his early years, during which he went on several study tours and earned a lot of money on the way, so Yuan Zhengding often joked that he should work in the household department.Just because there were outsiders present today, Jianfeng had no choice but to start talking in an official accent, and chatted with Dong Shuijing about kiln affairs. After all, many kilns are no longer official kilns, and this Dong Bancheng is hiding behind the scenes. How many

He almost monopolized the entire source of income for exporting porcelain, like the Baoxi kiln that has been converted into a folk kiln, and now it is allocated to a puppet businessman supported by Dong Shuijing.

Dong Shuijing talked and laughed happily with him, watertight, and dealt with it decently.

Let Li Huai admire it.In fact, Jian Feng was already mentally prepared to return in vain. Before he finished eating the zongzi in his hand, he chatted casually about the preparation of the local school, and Dong Shuijing's hiring of someone behind the scenes to fund it on his behalf. Building roads and bridges is debatable in some areas, a lot of money cannot be spent on the blade, and these things are beyond the scope of the Kiln Supervision and Construction Department's responsibilities, not to mention trivial matters, Jian Feng is also the superintendent It's really boring to be an official, in my eyes, I feel

There are really too many details that need to be perfected. Since I finally met Dong Bancheng today, it doesn't matter if I say a few nonsense outside the officialdom, even if it is annoying.

Sure enough, Dong Shuijing was very perfunctory, and only said to ask later when he had time.Jian Feng knew [-]% to no avail.

After leaving the house, walking alone in the back alley, Jian Feng smiled wryly, it's been a waste of work today.

I am worthy of being said behind my back that I am the most useless supervisor in history.

In the room, Li Huai hesitated to speak.

Dong Shuijing shook his head and said with a smile: "The muffled sound at the wall is conscience."

Li Huai asked, "Is it from the book, or from Chen Ping'an?"

Dong Shuijing laughed angrily.

Li Huai laughed and said, "You dropped out of school early and studied less, you are worse than me."

Dong Shuijing hesitated, but held back for a long time, but still couldn't ask.

But Li Huai suddenly understood what Dong Shuijing wanted to ask, "If it's just one of two choices, I will definitely choose you as my brother-in-law."

Dong Shuijing was dubious, "Seeing Lin Shouyi, how do you answer the same question?"

Li Huai laughed out loud.

Dong Shuijing no longer broke the casserole and asked the end, but turned his head to look at the willow tree next to the well in the courtyard, soft and weak, and the man's eyes were as gentle as the willow tree.

A Qingshui yamen under the Chejia Division of the Ministry of War in the capital city, located in the Postal and Express Office of the Hatbelt Alley, today came two dignitaries from official circles who had never set foot here.

One is a member of the Ministry of War, and the other is an official of the Ministry of Rites. Both of them have the official title of doctor, and both are the most powerful Lang officials in the capital of the Dali court.The son of a noble family in the capital who bears the position of the leader of the Jiebao Office, his surname is Fu Minghu. He has a very promising elder brother named Fu Yu. It's flat, I just took it

Zhan Shi, director of Zhan Shi, one of Xiaojiuqing, is in charge of Zuo Chunfang.Fu Hu respected and feared this cousin who had a successful official career, and Fu Yu was older than Fu Hu, so it seemed like an elder brother being a father.Today, after Fu Hu finished his official duties, he was holding a suet jade handle with Erlang's legs up. Woke up in fright, and mistakenly thought that he was on a job somewhere, and there was a big mistake.In the early years, like in the history of the Nalu Dynasty, there was a case of theft of the printing box in the lobby of the Ministry of War, which involved a lot of people.

The Kuding pin was melted down, causing the official hats and heads of the entire military department of Lu's temple to fall off. At that time, the officialdom of Dali Song's clan, which was a vassal state of Lu's feudal state, was treated as a joke.

Knowing that he was coming for Lao Lin, Fu Hu paced around the house twice, stomped his feet, and prepared to break into the dragon's pool and tiger's lair.

Thinking of that old Lin, he has worked hard all these years, worked hard like an old scalper, got along with him, and the relationship is very harmonious, he does not do less things, keeps his own place and does not fight for power.

Besides, he was the top spot in the news agency anyway, so he had to protect his brothers in his yamen.It's just that when Fu Hu arrived outside Lin Zhengcheng's office and saw the two people inside, he lost all courage, so that he didn't even notice that his own old Lin, seeing those two uninvited guests, was just sitting by the stove next to

On the chair, leaning forward, bending over and stretching out his hands to keep warm, he didn't even get up to entertain the guests, the shelf was as big as six books.

You must know that the two people standing in the room, the white-haired old man, and the burly man who looks domineering, are the doctor of the Dali Rites Temple and the Minister of Military Selection of the Ministry of War respectively!

These two official positions have always been the important candidates that Cui Chan, the national teacher, must personally delineate, and there is no need for the Ministry of War, the Minister of Rites, and the Minister to approve them.

As soon as Lin Zhengcheng stood up, the leader who just poked his head over the door of the room and then moved suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Lin Zhengcheng had no choice but to sit back in his chair, nodded with the two officials and said, "I understand what your Majesty means. I will leave immediately for the Yuzhang County Logging Yard."

The old Lang said with a smile: "It was supposed to be Cao Shilang who took the lead and came to the government office to inform Mr. Lin in person, but when Cao Shilang heard that he wanted to see Mr. Lin, he sprained his feet immediately and was busy asking for plasters. Woolen cloth."

Cao Gengxin has served as the supervisor of Longzhou kiln affairs for many years, and only because of his position, he has the opportunity to have access to a confidential file such as Dalitou.

In the Lizhu Cave, there is an extremely hidden "job status", no official and no rank, but for the Dali court, it is more important than the kiln supervisors of all dynasties.

The name "阍者" means the gatekeeper.

This person is the real eyes and ears of the emperor of the Dali court, the emperor of the Song family of Dali, or the real confidant of the national teacher Cui Chan.

And the last person who was placed in Lizhu Cave by Dali'an was Lin Shouyi's father, Lin Zhengcheng, the assistant officer who supervised the construction department in the past, and now the Zhima official of the Beijing Post Office.

And Cao Gengxin had a bigger guess.It is very likely that Lin Zhengcheng will always retain the identity of the shaman in Lizhu Dongtian in the past, but now in Dali Capital City. Once the young mountain owner of Luopo Mountain and the Song family of Dali collapsed one day, the two sides would completely tear each other apart. This Lin Zhengcheng will

It is the last flood control dam left by the national teacher Cui Chan to the capital of Dali, at least it can guarantee that Chen Pingan will not go on a killing spree.

Although Cao Gengxin didn't understand how a middle-five-level cultivator with a low level could do this, but Cao Gengxin upholds one purpose anyway, and he simply doesn't touch people who he can't afford to offend.

Seeing that the two were still standing still, the man asked, "Why are you urging me on the road in such a hurry?"

The old doctor couldn't help laughing, he was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said: "Don't dare." Since there was no place to sit, the martial arts officer put his arms around his chest and leaned against the door. Indeed, he was quite curious. If it weren't for this unusual official transfer, he would never have had the chance to know about Lin Zhengcheng's situation.

What is the background.As a matter of fact, he, the military selection officer of the Ministry of War, was just leading the way for the old guy standing next to him today. In fact, in the officialdom, Lin Zhengcheng, the future head of the Yuzhang County Logging Institute, had no control over him at all.

Hongzhou has newly established a yamen called the Logging Court, which is only in charge of apprehending those who steal huge trees.

Similar to the Kiln Supervision and Manufacturing Office in Chuzhou, and the Silk Weaving Bureau in Wuzhou, the ranks of the chief officials vary, but they are almost the same.In Hongzhou, which borders on the north of Chuzhou, there is a well-known Yuzhang County. In addition to being the ancestral home of the current Empress Dowager Dali, it has been rich in towering trees since ancient times. Therefore, Da Li Guan Chang Su

There is a humorous saying of "Dayuzhang, Xiaohongzhou".

Lin Zhengcheng saw that the two had no intention of leaving, so he asked with a smile, "Otherwise, I'll set up a table of banquets for the two of you at the news office?"

The old man felt very helpless, you locals who walked out of Lizhu Cave, except for Dong Shuijing who is a little better, there are not many of you who speak pleasantly!

The reason why I stay here is an eyesore is to help His Majesty, and to get an unambiguous sentence from this man in front of me.

It sounds ridiculous, His Majesty the Emperor, as the ruler of a country, can only beat around the bush, asking for a definite answer from a seventh-rank official.

But it's not funny at all.

What's more, this man deliberately kept playing stupid.

Lin Zhengcheng picked up the pliers, gently fiddled with the charcoal fire, and said to himself: "Someone once said to me a Zen saying, the golden Buddha does not burn the furnace, the wooden Buddha does not burn the fire, and the clay Buddha does not burn the water."

The old doctor nodded and said: "Understood, I will reply to His Majesty right away."

The two high-ranking and powerful doctors left the news office.

When we got to the hat belt alley outside the door, Wu Xuansi Langzhong asked in his heart, "What do you mean?"

The old man said: "You and I don't need to understand, your majesty just needs to understand." Fu Hu went to Lao Lin's house after hearing that the two lords had left their own territory, hesitated for a while, and after crossing the threshold, Seeing that old Lin was standing, he stretched out his hand and pressed twice, motioning for both of us to sit down and chat, and asked cautiously

: "Old Lin, what did I talk to you about, can you talk about it?"

Lin Zhengcheng said: "Trust me to find a way out, and soon I will be working as an errand in the logging yard in Yuzhang County, Hongzhou."

Fu Hu asked: "Or the assistant officer?"

The man shook his head and said, "Leader." Fu Hu was stunned for a moment, then lowered his voice and said, "No, if I remember correctly, the chief officer of the Logging Academy is a sixth-rank official, and you are now a seventh-rank official. Old Lin, who did you find a way to be so arrogant that you can skip half a level? !

"

The man smiled and said, "Don't talk about this kind of thing, it's a taboo." Fu Hu laughed, and patted the shoulder of the man beside him, "Old Lin, congratulations, to be honest, if you just move somewhere and don't get promoted, It's still the same, if you beat someone up, I'm going to scold you a few times, and I have to suspect that you despise me

Side job is not comfortable.Since it's a promotion, it's still a grade skip, nothing to say, go to Changpuhe tonight, I'll treat you to dinner! "

The man nodded and said, "Master Fu treats you, I'll pay for it."

Fu Hu slapped the man's shoulder hard again, "Hey, I was wrong all these years, and Lao Lin is still a good material for being an official!"

After Fu Hu left, the man silently looked at the charcoal fire in the brazier and sighed softly.

Site selection for the grave of the couple in Mud Bottle Lane.

Back then, he sneaked to the backyard of Yang's drug store and found that old man Yang. He did not hesitate to break the court rules and made an exception, and begged the old man in a humble manner.

And that "Mountain Shaking Boxing Manual" finally fell into someone's hands after going around and going around.

And that night, I secretly took out some private collections of snake gallstones and threw them into the Longxu River one by one, as if I was waiting for a boy in straw sandals with a basket to see and pick them up.

There is only so much that can be done.I don't want anything else, I just hope that one day I won't be an official, and I won't be a so-called prowler. That lonely child will grow into a teenager year by year, and then get married and start a career. Can the other party send from

Call myself Uncle Lin from the bottom of my heart, and I should be able to deserve this title with a clear conscience.

At the beginning of winter this year, Taihui Jianzong's Zushan Jianfang received a handwritten invitation from Luoba Mountain Lord Chen Shan, inviting the suzerain Liu Jinglong and his disciple Baishou to go to Tongyezhou to participate in the next year's Spring Festival. Zong celebration.It is said that it is the end of winter before the celebration, and the wind kite ferry will cross the continent and travel north to Jidu, and will berth at the ferry near the Chongxuan Office of the Dayuan Dynasty. I would like to trouble Sect Master Liu to move a little bit, and board the boat to travel south without spending money. That wasted money on a transcontinental boat ride

up.By the way, I reminded Liu Jinglong in the letter that if he wanted to, he could join hands with Lu Sui, the Fairy of Shuijing Mountain, and travel south to Xiandu Mountain.

Liu Jinglong took the invitation card and Yu Jian came to Pianran Peak.

Baishou asked tentatively: "The one surnamed Liu, can we not go?"

Bai Shou had just returned from his travels in Yunyan Country, and brought a few junior sword cultivators from Biefeng, six young sword cultivators, to practice in Yunyan Country and the surrounding mountains and rivers.

After all, today's Baishou, no matter his genealogical status or kendo realm, can be regarded as a serious elder and guardian of the sect.

When a group of young sword cultivators returned to the mountain safely, the Patriarch Hall of the Taihui Sword Sect had a high opinion of the young Jindan peak master of Pianran Peak, who was thoughtful, thoughtful, and experienced.In the Yunyan Kingdom, Baishou did not meet Cui Gongzhuang, the warrior of the Nine Realms. The chief guest of Suoyunzong and Yangyunfeng is very honest now. Don't act recklessly, no

However, Cui Gongzhuang will personally clean up the sect, which will make the sect's reputation in the world skyrocket.

After a hard walk down the mountain, he never thought about going back to Pianran Peak. When Baishou heard such a terrible news and good news, he was both sad and happy for a while.

It didn't take long for Brother Chen's Luoposhan to be promoted to the sect, and he went to the southernmost Tongyezhou to fish for the next sect without stopping. Of course, it was a good thing that couldn't be better.

But the problem is that Baishou is now not to mention meeting that person face to face, but whenever he thinks of her, he will feel guilty.

The last time a certain person came to Pianran Peak as a guest, it turned out to be a disaster. He was punched by the other party and hit the spot on the spot.

Last time, it was still at Pianran Peak in his own territory. Someone just passed by, and after a punch, the majestic master of the peak, the successor of the suzerain, lay on the ground and twitched, like a warrior walking around.

The last time, it was at Luoluo Mountain.

Nothing but three!

If it is true that you can learn a lot from a fall, then today's Baishou can be regarded as extremely smart.

Baishou even approached an old Daoist god who is proficient in numerology in private to help him figure out whether he and that guy are incompatible.

At that time, the old god held the horoscopes of the two people's birthdays, and was at a loss. He only said that it was nothing, no one could defeat the other, and in the end he did not forget to say a good word for Liu Zongzhu's first disciple, saying that Bai Fengzhu's horoscope is very strong.

Liu Jinglong didn't bother to remind Baishou that according to Chen Ping'an, Pei Qian didn't know his date of birth at all, and even his name was fake, which was picked up by Pei Qian himself later.

It's just that Chen Ping can tell Liu Jinglong about this kind of thing, but Liu Jinglong should not reveal the secret to Baishou.

Liu Jinglong smiled and asked back: "What do you think?"

No more than a sect's Golden Elixir Opening Ceremony, any grand ceremony in Haoran Tianxia can be regarded as a once-in-a-thousand-year grand event.

According to the customary rules on the mountain, as long as it is not the kind of hostile sect that has formed a mortal enmity, even if no one is present in Yizhou, a congratulatory gift will be sent as a rule.

After all, within the territory of Yizhou, there is an extra fairy family with the initials of Zong out of thin air, and it is all a matter of giving the monks of Yizhou a face.

The amount of martial arts in a continent is very straightforward, you can just look at the number of martial arts at the end, and in the same way, the depth of a continent's background often depends on the number of sects with the prefix Zong.So just like the Pima Sect in Bone Beach, Beiju Luzhou didn't want to see this outsider anymore, but when the Pima Sect really gained a foothold and officially held a celebration, most of the immortal forces still had to pinch their noses and send them off. go for a gift only

It's just that the congratulatory gifts are not heavy, and some of them deliberately sent a few snowflakes.

That rule should be obeyed in the same way, courtesy is light and affection is heavy, if the Pima sect thinks the money is too little, it means they are not generous.

It's just that when the Huolong real person from Liedi Peak makes an exception and shows up, he visits Muyi Mountain. Not to mention participating in the celebration, the old real person rarely sends out a gift of magic weapon rank.

Some "forgetful" immortals immediately made up a long overdue congratulatory gift.

For the first time in the world, the old real people who are known for their cool style have spent money outside, and there is no reason for others not to spend money and not give gifts.

Otherwise, it is easy to be missed by the old man.

Bai Shou still didn't give up, and said: "Just deliver the gift, Chen Ping'an will definitely not mind, if it doesn't work, I won't go, and when you see Chen Ping'an later, tell me that I am going to retreat soon."

Liu Jinglong smiled and said: "As long as you don't take the initiative to provoke Pei Qian, why are you guilty, she will not fight with you for no reason."

Seeing that Baishou was still hesitating, Liu Jinglong didn't want to embarrass this disciple, and said empathetically: "If you really don't want to go, let it be. Just practice swords at Pianran Peak. I'll explain it to Chen Ping'an." In addition to the post, Chen Pingan also sent a secret letter to Liu Jinglong. In the letter, it said that there was a female formation master named Han Zhoujin in the capital of Dali. Members of the Earthly Branch lineage monks also have a hidden identity, they are guest ministers of Dali Zizhaoyan's family, Han Zhoujin has a fortune in the ruins of the Immortal Mansion, her background is not small, and her talisman attainments are quite good, so let On the way to the south, Liu Jinglong stopped in the capital of Dali for a while to help

Give Han Zhoujin some pointers.

Bai Shou gritted his teeth, "Just go! Anyway, I haven't been to Tongyezhou yet."

Liu Jinglong nodded with a smile, "The Patriarch Hall hinted at me because they wanted to ask you, the peak master, when you plan to accept disciples, so as to spread the branches and leaves for Pianran Peak."

In fact, at the Patriarch Hall of Taihui Sword Sect, the bigger hint is to ask the suzerain if he has any favorite candidates for Taoism.

Bai Shou was stunned for a long time, only to feel that he had heard a big joke, grinning his teeth and said: "Take apprentice? Just me?"

Although it has been a few years since I followed Liu up the mountain, Baishou always has the feeling that I have just started practicing swords and I will be knocked down by someone at any time, so there is no such thing as an earth immortal monk who can receive a direct inheritance. consciousness.

In fact, each of the Kaifeng Dixians on the mountain is equivalent to opening up a brand new legal system for the Patriarch Hall.

Bai Shou waved his hand and said, "Don't rush,"

On the top of the peak, there was a lonely person who didn't accept disciples, and made a joke, but Liu Jinglong saw the joke alone. If he accepted apprentices, would the teacher's dignity be lost?

Now that the realm is not enough, and there is no victory in sword-questioning, is it possible that the disciples in the sect shouted "Master was beaten into a coma" or "The big thing is not good, and the master is lying on the ground again"?

Baishou remembered something and asked, "How is Suoyunzong doing?"

Liu Jinglong said: "Yangyun Peak will take the initiative to conclude an alliance with us soon." Now there are more than a dozen forces on the mountain that are allied with Taihui Sword Sect, except for Spring Dew Garden, Caique Mansion, and Yunshang in the southeast of Yizhou. City, and several time-honored fairy mansions including the Thunder God’s House on the west coast, among them the Thunder God’s House in Infant Mountain,

A few years ago, I was hit by a mindless sap, and even the gold plaque at the gate of the mountain was deducted from the word "Sacred House", and finally I caught the two foreign thieves who seemed to have their brains caught by the door. Let it go again.

Of course, Liu Jinglong and Taihui Sword Sect did not have the idea of ​​being the leader of the mountain and commanding the heroes. This relatively loose covenant is more for the convenience of business exchanges between them.

Bai Shou said with a smile: "Then our Taihui Sword Sect has another pawn?"

Liu Jinglong frowned slightly.

Baishou immediately raised his hands, voluntarily admitting his mistake, "Just treat me as a fart!"

Liu Jinglong reminded softly: "You need to know that our sword cultivator's verbal mistakes are no different from a questioning of swords in people's hearts."

Whether it is a monk or a layman, in the lake of everyone's heart, there will be many heavy stones at the bottom of the water, and every stone may be an understatement and unintentional words from many others on the road of life.

Bai Shou hummed, "I will pay attention to it in the future."

The young sword cultivator grinned, "Don't worry, in Pianran Peak Mountain, I don't have much chance to talk except talking to myself. As for outside the mountain, I don't talk very much."

In fact, in Liu Jinglong's view, one of the most mysterious formations in the world is the Lizhu Cave Sky that used to hang above the northern part of Aquarius Island for many years.There are generally two kinds of small worlds for monks. One is that the saints of the three religions sit in academies, Taoist temples, and temples. Let Xiaotiandi become a lawless place with thin aura, occupying the right time, place and people. Since foreign monks cannot mobilize even the slightest aura of heaven and earth, every time a spell is shot, every time a magic weapon is sacrificed, it will consume its own aura. Being big is like opening an opening, and when this aura passes away, it will feed back to the small world, like a kind of "tribute offering". The two opposing sides will ebb and flow, unless the realm is very different, there is no suspense about the outcome.In addition, the big monk built a small world with the help of formations, and there were many obstacles in it.The Lizhu Cave in the early years not only took care of both, but also the foreign monks who set foot in it had to follow some more mysterious rules of the avenue, so this time Liu Jinglong planned to go to the next ceremony on the way, besides going to Dali Capital to find Na Han Day Jin, I have to go to the boundary of the old Longzhou in Dali to see if I can borrow stones from other mountains to make jade without violating the laws of Dali. Can grind stone.Regarding this matter, Liu Jinglong mentioned it to Chen Pingan who was a guest of his own sect last time, so in the secret letter sent by Chen Pingan this time, he told Liu Jinglong bluntly that he should just concentrate on studying the aftermath of the formation, because he has already told the master Li Chaoting greeted

The.

Liu Jinglong suddenly received a letter from Feijian.

Liu Zhiqing from Golden Crow Palace.

Bai Shou asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

"Liu Jianxian asked people to ask the sword together."

"Ask who?!"

Bai Shou took out an almanac from his sleeve with lightning speed, flipped it open, "Three days later, it will be a good day!"

Beiju Luzhou's old almanac is probably the only one in Haoran Tianxia.In a year, there are more than ten days, "It is advisable to ask the sword".
