Sword comes

Chapter 953

In the world of Qingming, the view of Xuandu.

In the peach blossom forest, an old Taoist priest walked side by side with a handsome young man wearing a tiger hat, followed by a fat man, looking around to see if there were any peach branches on the ground to pick up.

The group of remote sword cultivators from the Great Wall of Sword Qi settled in the Baiyujing Shenxiao City, Suichu Palace, and Xuandu Temple in Qingming Tianxia respectively.

The Xuandu temple only got this rich fat man, but the young sword cultivator and the old temple master are quite close, of course, it may be because they think they are.

Anyway, Yan Zhuo has been doing a lot of business secretly under the banner of the old temple master all these years.For such a huge monster as Xuanduguan, the vassals can't count it with one hand, plus dozens of dynasties and vassal states attached to Xuanduguan, even if we only talk about Xuanduguan itself, there are nearly 10 Taoist officials under its jurisdiction There are so many people.

The old temple master just turned a blind eye and closed his eyes. Anyway, those money exchanges are all fat and water that don't flow to outsiders.If Fatty Yan could get money from Bai Yujing someday, it would be no problem to send him a gold plaque, and even the old temple master could ask Lu Laosan to inscribe it.

The old temple master pondered for a long time, and finally opened the skylight to speak bluntly, "Bai Ye, would you like to be the abbot of Xuandu Temple in the future?"

Bai also didn't seem surprised, shook his head, and said bluntly: "Impossible."

The old temple master nodded, "I know it's such an answer, but I can't help but ask more, just in case."

The old temple master was silent for a moment, and then asked again: "The temple master is not willing to be a priest. A prison with a lot of mundane affairs is more troublesome than being a temple master, so it is impossible. So how about being a priest?"

The master of a Taoist temple can be false or real, and if he is willing to take care of things, he can take care of everything, no matter how big or small, it is no problem to grasp all of them.If you don't want to take care of it, it's just a false title, and you can let it go to the Taoist Supervisory Academy, and the master is known as the pillar of Taoist temples and the model of Taoists. Competent, with this example, the jungle, the eyes of man and heaven.

It's a bit similar to the Haoran Tianxia Mountain School, where one person concurrently serves as the chief priest and guest minister.

Bai Ye still shook his head, "I really don't want to be distracted."

The old temple master sighed, "I want you to be a deacon, even if you are willing to do it for nothing, I don't have the shame to give it to you, and let Qing Mingxia see jokes for nothing."

In general, large-scale Taoist temples, in addition to eight deacons, also have three capitals, five masters and eighteen heads.

Yan Zhuo found that the atmosphere was a bit dull, so he recommended himself: "Old Guanzhu, what is the audience, if you don't dislike it, junior..."

The old temple master has already nodded and said: "I hate it."

Yan Zhuo didn't lose his mind, how could he dare to hope to be the master of the Xuandu Temple, but he started to make small calculations a few years ago, thinking that with his deep friendship with the old master, he had to think about it no matter what. The head of the Shifang Yunshui Hall is responsible for arranging wandering Taoist priests from all walks of life. Although there is not much money to be made, Yan Zhuo has his own means to open up avenues of wealth.

The old temple master suddenly said: "Fatty Yan, when you enter the Jade Raw Realm one day, the poor will find an opportunity to hold a meeting in the Patriarch Hall, and by the way, recommend you to be the deacon of the accountant, but in advance Alright, I don’t care about things for a long time, and I don’t have enough prestige in the Taoist temple, so I may not be able to succeed, you have heard it today, don’t pay too much attention, it is best to be successful, if you don’t, don’t blame the poor for not being able to do anything.”

Yan Zhuo rubbed his hands and smiled, "I understand, I understand, it's easy to talk about it."

One of the Eight Great Deacons, the accountant deacon, with the huge scale and rich background of Xuandu Temple, is almost equivalent to the household secretary of a great dynasty under the mountain.

The old temple master turned his head to look at one place, then took his leave and left, Bai also hesitated to speak, the old temple master smiled knowingly: "If there is a chance, I will replant peach blossoms."

The old temple shrunk down the mountains and rivers, and came to another place in the peach forest, beside the stream, stood a female crown with white hair but the face of a girl.

The old temple master gave a speech and said in a deep voice, "Senior sister."

The girl just nodded her head and looked up at the sky.

Xuandu Guan has always claimed that she is in retreat.

In fact, he was wandering around outside, and now his merits and virtues are full.Only then did I return to Xuandu View.

Wait for the weather, just wait for the rain.

It is not only a far-reaching plan to prepare for a rainy day, but also a kind of helpless last resort.

So this time she showed up, she didn't want to put on airs with Xiao Sun.

The "girl" withdrew her gaze, looked down at the stream, and murmured: "The peach blossoms and flowing water are gone."

This sentence comes from Bai Ye's answer to common people's questions in the mountains.

Her name is Wangsun, and her Taoist name is "Kongshan". She was once recognized as the most qualified Taoist priest in the history of Xuandu Temple. It can even be said that several juniors were raised by her when they were young. Among them is the current temple master, Sun Huaizhong. .

The general manager heard that it was the praise of the outside world for her.It's her evaluation of herself that she can't achieve anything.

In addition to the Sui Palace and the Guanque Tower, the river flows eastward, and there is a mainstay, which is one of the few Xielong stones in the world, with many buildings and many cliff carvings.

The old Yuanying Jianxiu Cheng Quan was standing on the edge of the cliff with an old friend to watch the water at this moment, but there was a huge difference in height between the two, and beside the old Jianxiu stood a child with an immature face, but he looked old-fashioned.

It was Nalan Shaowei, one of the top ten Sword Immortals at the peak of the Great Wall of Sword Qi.

He was "present" a little later than Chen Xi in Feisheng City.Just because Sui Chu Gong was too polite, mobilized the crowd, and found him a pair of fairy sloughs of a great monk in the Ascension Realm, but it was a rare slough left by a sword repair soldier who passed away.

On the tall building by the river, stood a young Taoist official leaning on a railing, full of bookishness, looking across the river, dazed, a river like a moat.

One side is swarmed like ants, and the other side is few.Because in the eyes of this person, it seems that this river is used as a boundary, with fourteen realm monks on one side and spirit beings below the fourteen realm on the other.

Nalan Shaowei glanced at the young Taoist official on the other side of the Stork Tower, who looked like a scholar, and said casually: "Cultivator of the Sui Palace, he is either in retreat or preparing for retreat. Why do you often see this guy wandering upstairs? .”

Cheng Quan said: "His name is Gao Ping, and he has two Taoist titles, 'Taihang' and 'Zouge'. It sounds confusing. Gao Ping is the Taoist official in charge of Suiqi Palace. Being promoted, he has been in charge of registering and submitting documents for all temple priests, but Gao Ping, in addition to his official status as the master of the Eight Classics, seems to have a unique official position in the palace, 'literature', anyway, it is a former It’s something I’ve never heard of before. If Lord Yinguan is here, he must know the twists and turns.”

Nalan Shaowei nodded and said: "It's an old official position in Haoran Tianxia. It's been a long time ago. The official hat is very small, but if you don't have any knowledge, you will definitely not be able to be this official. It is not very useful now."

Cheng Quan looked at Nalan Shaowei with a look of surprise.

Nalan Shaowei scolded with a smile: "What eyes, I know the origin of 'literature', what's so strange, it's like finding that kid Chen Pingan doesn't understand."

Cheng Quan laughed and said: "In terms of swordsmanship, you are temporarily superior to Lord Yinguan, I admit it, but in terms of the ink in your stomach, it is really incomparable, you just happened to be a coincidence."

Nalan Shaowei changed the subject, "Have you dealt with him before?"

Cheng Quan nodded and said: "I have met several times in the building and by the river. He is a boring gourd. I haven't talked much about him. There are some rumors about him in the palace of the year. I can only chat with the guardian of the year who is nicknamed Xiaobai. I seem to like him." When playing chess, Palace Master Wu will occasionally participate in it, but there is a strange rule that both sides only play the first forty moves."

Nalan Shaowei nodded and said: "I used to talk with Sun Juyuan and the others often, winning more than losing."

Cheng Quan asked: "Do you really know how many lines there are on the chessboard?"

Nalan Shaowei laughed angrily, "You just owe me."

Cheng Quan laughed and said, "Have you tried the trick?"

Nalan Shaowei didn't pay attention to the top three masters of the Great Wall of Sword Qi, but just looked at the young and handsome Daoist in charge, and had a chance to play a few games with him.

On the other side of the Guanque Tower, Gao Ping smiled from the bottom of his heart: "When Nalan Sword Immortal is free someday, you can come here as a guest. I want to review the final battle with Nalan Sword Immortal against the Great Wall of Sword Qi. "

Nalan Shaowei smiled and said: "I don't understand those vain people. You have found the wrong person. You have to talk to the young people in the Summer Palace."

Gao Ping smiled and said, "Sword Immortal Nalan is humbled, it's just a matter of talking on paper."

Nalan Burned the Reed was noncommittal.

After Gao Ping Jishou gave the salute, he turned around and walked into the Guanque Tower. After closing the door, the Daoist in charge saw a picture of the situation in Jiuzhou, which would change slightly every year.

In the future, Bai Yujing, who will be expelled from the palace, and Wu Shuangxiang himself, the lord of the palace, may only account for half of it at most.

The other half is exactly the Kyushu in the world covered by this situation map.

The wind and snow are vast, and the snowflakes are as big as palms.

A barefoot monk in purple, walking alone on the border between the two states, came to a place with poor mountains and rivers where the spiritual energy was thin and almost non-existent, and looked at a cliff.

There are tall people in the mountains.

Ninety monks, sitting in danger in the deep valley.Throughout the ages, the high wind will not fall.

Jiang Xiu, who bid farewell to elegant prime minister Yao Qing and left the Qingshen Dynasty, wanted to come here to listen to the other party's opinion.

After getting that ambiguous answer, Jiang Xiu just laughed it off and continued to travel far away.

Quietly entered the border of Youzhou.

In Zhulu County, which is said to be the site of an ancient battlefield, at a place called Jiamaying, there is a Danghe bridge.

A village woman walked out of a copper camel alley and carried a load across the bridge.

There is a bamboo basket on each end of the burden, and two children are sitting in the basket.

Jiang Xiu smiled and said, "This is picking on the two ancestors."

In the remote area of ​​Youzhou, there is a small Taoist temple called Zhuxu Temple.

On the narrow street outside the door, there is a book stand set up at the corner of the street. There are not only Jianghu romance novels, but also comic books and comic books. They only rent but not sell. You can read a book for a coin.

On the high and low benches, there were some children in open crotch pants, and there were also a few idle young rascals, chatting dirty words while flipping through books.

The stall owner is a fair-faced young Taoist priest, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a strong figure. His name is Mao Zhui, and he has no Taoist name yet.

Zhuxu Temple is a small Taoist temple in a small county town. Although the sparrow is small and has all five internal organs, Mao Zhui is the model of that small Taoist temple, that is, it is in charge of food.

But at any rate, he is a Taoist official with a clean flow.Walking on the road, being called by others can have a suffix of "Master".

And his master is also a Taoist priest who knows the guests of the Taoist temple, and his status is second only to the temple master and the supervisor, the third place.

The young Taoist officials set up bookstalls here, but in fact they couldn't earn much money. When they were young, they were mountain runners, going into the mountains to collect herbs, catch centipedes, weave cricket cages, and they were willing to do any kind of money-making work.

It stands to reason that he is a Taoist official, and his appearance is not bad, so he would not be a bachelor, but the problem is that the neighbors in the neighborhood say that this master Dianzao, surnamed Mao, seems to be a little confused.Often in a daze, or while eating, tears would fill my face all of a sudden, but the problem is that there is no cry.Over time, no one dared to propose marriage.Otherwise, the Taoist master who has a degree of ultimatum, which one is not a favorite.

In the palm of Mao Zhui's palm was a piece of sauced meat wrapped in oil paper, with seven or eight cloves of garlic in it, and he was chewing slowly.

A young Taoist priest came to the street, wearing a Hunyuan scarf with a round hat with a hard brim on his head, his hair exposed in a bun, with a boxwood hairpin running across it.

The foreign Taoist stopped, looked up at the plaque of the small Taoist temple, and said with a smile: "It's a good way to fill in the deficiency, and take the excess to make up for the deficiency."

Only by maintaining the way of surplus and destroying it can we avoid the regret of the dragon and the guilt of the universe.

The young Taoist turned his head and looked at the hair cone with a smile.

Big states and small countries, big prefectures and small counties, and small Taoist temples, but he is a big monk.

Not "yet", but "yet".

Because the Taoist audience, and the Taoist temple itself, are transformed by this Taoist priest.

Mao Zhui turned to look at that person and sighed, "The stall is closed."

The children immediately became unhappy, and Mao Zhui had no choice but to say: "Next time each of you will read three books, and there will be no charge."

Anyway, there is no next time.

The children were overjoyed and scattered.

As for those young and strong, they didn't care about anything, they just kept cursing and left, mainly because they felt that the foreign Taoist priest didn't seem like a good stubble.

The young Taoist smiled and said, "It took a lot of effort to find this place. No wonder Master Lu couldn't find you."

Mao Zhui said: "It's not that he can't find me, it's that he doesn't need to find me for the time being."

The young Taoist said with a smile: "Anyway, it's the same, it's the poor who come first."

"The Qingshen Dynasty can't protect you, Yao Qing has too many worries, and his realm is a little bit off, so he greeted Pindao."

"On Difei Mountain in the poor way, once the big formation is opened, you can hide in the ancestor cave of Huayang Palace to protect you for a hundred years. It is not a big problem. Anyway, all the expenses of opening the big formation of the mountain gate can be paid by the poor way The Qingshen Dynasty will be reimbursed."

Mao Zhui sneered and said, "Aren't you worried that the next moment, he will be right in front of you?"

"For one thing, Pindao's attainments in formations and the means of concealing heaven's secrets are not too bad."

The young Taoist went to the stall, picked a bench to sit down, and said with a smile: "Furthermore, it is 'obvious' that Bai Yujing is not dealing with it. There are already Xuandu Temple and Suichu Palace, and there is another Difei Mountain. , it’s nothing, it’s really invincible.”

A certain country in Youzhou whose national strength is comparable to that of Bingzhou's Qingshen Dynasty, among which the Hongnong Yang family has been the backbone of the temple since ancient times.The Yang family has always been the biggest pilgrim in Huayang Palace.Not only incense money, but many Taoist officials in Difei Mountain all come from the Hongnong Yang family.

As long as it falls into the hands of a certain Bai Yujing within 100 years, those who can be punished or not will be punished heavily, and those who can be killed or not will be killed.

These are actually nothing, anyway, everyone knows that Yu Dou never deliberately targets anyone, he just discusses the facts.

The problem is that the second child of Taoism, every time a person who violates the prohibition is held accountable, he is killed or severely punished according to the rules. In addition to discussing the matter, he will also investigate the "teaching is not strict, the fault of the teacher" and make the whole mountain bow its head. This is nothing, earth lung Shan once had a young man who was deprived of the title of Taoist priests in the world and could never be hired as a Taoist official.

And this person was not only from the Hongnong Yang family, but also the youngest disciple of this "young Taoist priest".

As a result, there was a commotion. This old Taoist surnamed Yang not only made the crime more serious, but also implicated the family "the son does not teach, it is the father's fault."

Back then, a highly respected old Taoist priest, one of the ten people in Qingming Tianxia, ​​stood on the border of Baiyujing that time, looking at the twelfth floor of the five cities of Baiyujing from a distance.

And he is the ancestor of Huayang Palace on Mount Difei, Gao Gu, whose Taoist name is "Juyue".Recognized as the number 1 alchemy in the world.

Mao Zhui shook his head and said, "You still underestimate that person."

Gao Gu smiled and said, "How about putting it another way, is Gao Gu overestimating himself?"

Mao Zhui twitched the corner of his mouth, "This joke sounds good."

"Fellow Taoist Chunyang once said, a golden elixir was in my stomach, and I knew that my fate was beyond my control."

Gao Gu said: "We are lucky enough to be born as human beings, and to be able to climb mountains and practice Taoism. What we seek is to break the sky. The root of it is to maintain human nature. As for you, Baigu Zhenren, after all, you are not walking dead. You are looking for humanity. , Prove yourself. Fellow Daoist, do you think so?"

Mao Zhui was silent for a moment, then said, "Wait until I finish eating the sauced meat and garlic cloves."

----

In Yuzhang County, Hongzhou, Dali, a new logging yard was set up.

And Yuzhou, which is connected to Hongzhou, had set up a weaving bureau before that, nominally in charge of the supervision and weaving of textile products required for imperial and official use in a state.The first chief officer was a young official named Li Baozhen, who was born in the battlefield and had military honors.But even the governor of a state is not qualified to review the files of this person.

When Li Zhizao took office, he brought only two personal followers, both of whom were surnamed Zhu, as assistant officials of the weaving government office.

According to the records of the local chronicles, at the boundary of Dali Yuzhou, there are often loud noises in the sky near noon in Yuzhong, which is as loud as thunder for no reason, so it is named Yuzhou.

In the middle of the night today, Li Baozhen, the weaving officer, and two assistant officials from the government office visited the Yuzhang County Logging Yard together.

When the three of them saw Lin Zhengcheng, Li Baozhen held the junior ceremony and bowed, "Uncle Lin, my nephew is taking the liberty to visit."

Lin Zhengcheng, who was sitting by the fire in the study, watching the night, just nodded his head.

Seeing that Li Baozhen seemed to be planning to continue standing and talking, Lin Zhengcheng fiddled with the charcoal a few times with the tongs, pressed a few times, and signaled the three visitors not to stand, "Anyway, we don't talk about business tonight, and they are all fellow villagers, so sit down and chat casually." All right."

In fact, with the identities of both parties, it is impossible to discuss any official business. The newly established Yuzhou Weaving Bureau and Hongzhou Logging Institute, similar to the earliest Longquan County Kiln Supervision and Construction Office, belong to a kind of "sinking" of the Dali court. Institutions and government offices are closely guarded, directly reaching Tianting.If the two chief officials contact each other privately and plot something, it is a taboo in the officialdom.However, there is no need to deliberately alienate people in general. As for the scale of this period, it depends on the Taoism practiced by each other. Just like the meeting tonight, both Lin Zhengcheng and Li Baozhen will take the initiative to record the file, and even if they intend to To conceal it, there must be some officials in the Weaving Bureau or the Logging Yard who will let His Majesty the Emperor know about it.

According to Dali's new Code of Laws, the Yuzhou Weaving Bureau has a much higher rank than the Yuzhang County Logging Institute. It is not an exaggeration to say that Li Zhizao is half a feudal official.

The four of them sat around the stove, with an iron net sandwiched over the brazier, and they were baking some golden rice cakes and tofu cubes, probably for supper.

The father and daughter surnamed Zhu have long since left their lowly status, and followed their son, Li Baozhen, wandering abroad for more than 20 years. After being honed by the practice of Gongmen, they fought in some other battlefields where no swords, lights or swords were seen. Now Zhu He and his daughter Zhu Lu are the same. A Golden Body Realm martial artist and a Sixth Realm martial artist, the latter just broke through at the beginning of this year.

An old warrior, approaching his sixties, with a slight frost on his temples.

Lin Zhengcheng turned his head to look at the old man, and said with a smile, "Zhu He, we haven't seen each other for many years."

Zhu He smiled and nodded, "It must have been 20 years since we last met."

Back then, Lin Zhengcheng was the first group of natives to leave the small town of Lizhu Cave, and moved to the capital.Although Zhuhe is the nursing home of the Li family on Fulu Street, belonging to the family, but in the early years in the small town, Lin Zhengcheng was the assistant official of the supervisory government office, and often accompanied the supervisor to inspect the kiln, and the Li family had its own As for the dragon kiln, Zhu He was in charge of the specific affairs, so the two parties often met and were no strangers.

Lin Zhengcheng turned his head and asked, "Zhu Lu, have you ever been married?"

The woman was a little cautious, and shook her head slightly, "I haven't married yet."

Lin Zhengcheng nodded and said, "I know you've been high-spirited since you were a child."

Zhu Lu looked embarrassed.

In fact, Li Baozhen envied the father and daughter for being able to catch up with Lin Zhengcheng, unlike himself, who came to the logging yard today just to pay homage to the top of the mountain.

With regard to Lin Zhengcheng, a secretive official of the former Supervision Office, Li Baozhen only knew a little bit, and he knew that the water was deep and the water was shallow.

Just like the majestic third-rank governor of Yuzhou, he was unable to access the files of a fourth-rank weaving official in his own territory. This is Li Baozhen's confidence.

And Li Baozhen, as the chief officer in charge of the entire southeast intelligence of Aquarius Island in the past, has come into contact with many confidential files of Dali intelligence. After taking office, Li Baozhen smelled an extremely hidden unusualness, and even came up with an inference that made Li Baozhen feel a chill down his spine. The unsmiling Uncle Lin he remembered when he was young might be the national teacher Cui Chen who was placed in Lizhu. A key chess piece of Dongtian, and this seemingly inconspicuous chess piece is very likely to affect the trend of the entire Dali court to a certain extent. This is Li Baozhen's official intuition.

Lin Zhengcheng glanced at Li Weaving, who was sitting upright. He was not young anymore. In his forties, the official residence was from the fourth rank. If one put aside the identity of the emperor's confidant, in fact, in the two temples of Dali Capital City and the accompanying capital, the Weaving Bureau belonged to the Dali Court after all. The ad hoc organization belongs to the "cold bench" yamen at the edge of the officialdom, so unlike Cao Gengxin, Yuan Zhengding and other disciples with the surname of Shangzhu, they are not so eye-catching, but some people seem to be born to be in the officialdom. In addition, in the Li family of Fulu Street, which has a profound heritage, the only one who has set foot in the officialdom is Li Baozhen.

Lin Zhengcheng gently fiddled with the charcoal fire with tongs, covered in dust, he said indifferently: "A person who uses his wisdom is to burn charcoal for warmth. He must learn to hide his strength and bide his time so that he can burn for a long time."

Li Baozhen nodded and said with a smile: "In addition to being diligent and thrifty in housekeeping and saving charcoal, we must also increase our wisdom. Going to the mountains to cut wood and burn charcoal is one kind, and buying charcoal from others is another. In addition, burning charcoal for heating in the cold winter is not only controlled by yourself When the fire is good, you should also pay attention to the people sitting around the fire, and try not to let everyone feel that the temperature of the charcoal fire is too hot."

Lin Zhengcheng nodded, drawing inferences from one instance, he is a smart person, chatting easily.

The three brothers and sisters of the younger generation of the Li family on Fulu Street have indeed responded to the prophecy.

Lin Zhengcheng asked casually, "After being an official for so many years, do you have any insights?"

"No one should be underestimated."

Li Baozhen said: "Emperors and generals, traffickers and pawns, gods on mountains, ghosts and ghosts, each has its own merits, especially pay attention to one thing, the subordinates have superior wisdom."

Zhu Lu hesitated for a moment, but still said softly: "Uncle Lin, over the years, the young master has always liked to deal with all kinds of religions and nine streams, but he doesn't have much contact with Dali officials."

Lin Zhengcheng smiled and said, "Don't use Qianlong."

Li Baozhen looked as usual.

Lin Zhengcheng said: "It's almost meaningless to want to get a comment of 'seeing the dragon in the field'. Of course, I am an errand in a logging yard. I just met a junior from my hometown and couldn't help but say a few words about relying on the old to sell the old, isn't it? Senior officials of the Dali Ministry of Rites, Li Zhizao doesn't have to take it too seriously."

Li Baozhen smiled and said, "It's only after being away from my hometown for many years that I realize how precious the old saying in my hometown is."

Different from people in other places, the farther and longer you leave your hometown, the smaller your hometown will be. The young people in Lizhu Dongtian are more promising. Without exception, they will feel that their hometown is "big" and deep Bottomless.

After chatting for about half an hour, Lin Zhengcheng still didn't say much. Mostly Li Baozhen was looking for something to talk to, and Zhu He would talk about the past by chance. Lin Zhengcheng never showed an impatient face.

Li Baozhen took his leave and left the logging yard with Zhu He and Zhu Lu. After leaving the county, Li Baozhen sacrificed a talisman boat to take care of Zhu Lu and returned to Yuzhou. Instead of going straight to the Weaving Bureau, he went to a hill.

The night was dark, and Li Baozhen sat cross-legged on the bow of the boat with nothing to do. He picked up a light ball formed by condensed spiritual energy.

The father and daughter were silent and each had their own thoughts.

Zhu He has been a martial artist of the Seven Realms for many years, and after a few more years of physical fitness, he is expected to travel far away as a pure martial artist. According to the arrangement of the second son, as long as he becomes a remote traveler, he will be transferred from the Weaving Bureau to the local military officer , the official position will not be too high, but with military merits and martial arts, and a martial artist who travels far away, it must not be too low. Then in the future, it is no longer a luxury to set up ancestral halls, compile genealogy, and enshrine the tablets of ancestors and gods. Zhu He For a martial artist, with his humble status in the past, to do this is considered a glorious lintel.

Zhu He has never been a person with too much ambition. If it is not for the kindness of the Li family, he also needs to make long-term considerations for his only daughter, Zhu Lu. In the south of the continent, a certain country settles in the rivers and lakes, either establishes a sect, or opens a museum to accept disciples.

Zhu Lu was in a complicated mood.

Zhu Lu, who has been away from home for many years and is no longer a girl, occasionally thinks, if she hadn't left the school team, what would have happened to her life?

At the beginning, the group left the town, walked across the Longxu River and Tiefu River, passed through Qidun Mountain, and finally arrived at Hongzhu Town, and then there was that turmoil, and they parted ways.

If she hadn't been separated, she went to the Great Sui Academy?

Li Baoping, she and her father.Lin Shouyi, Li Huai, and that person.

Zhu Lu felt that there were two groups of people at that time, although they were walking together, they were just two kinds of people.

During the period, they met a man wearing a hat and saber and leading a donkey. He called himself A Liang, a kind Liang, and a swordsman.

He also claims to be invincible and peerless in swordsmanship. When he is serious, he even feels terrible to himself. With his swordsmanship, he can swing it freely, and he can't splash water. Even if he gets wet with a corner of his clothes, his swordsmanship is not good... So every time he passes by the river, Li Huai asks Ah Liang Standing on the shore, go to pick up a pile of stones by yourself, let Ah Liang shake his hands on the so-called swordsmanship, or wait for the rain with his fingers.

There was so much noise until the end, even an honest man like Zhu He felt that the seemingly unfathomable swordsman was a charlatan who could only talk about himself?

As a result, in the place where the three rivers converge, like the division and combination of the rivers, it seems that three completely different life paths just happened.

She and her father sadly left Hongzhu Town to follow the second son of the Li family on Fulu Street.

Li Baoping and his party continued to go to Da Sui Shanya Academy.

As for that sleazy embryo, he broke through the sky that day and went to Qingming Tianxia, ​​and he was able to ask both fist and sword with Bai Yujing's second head teacher, and even entered the fourteenth realm as a sword cultivator... …

Lin Shouyi had served as the priest of Dadu in the central region. He was already a monk in the Nascent Soul Realm, and it was said that he had recently started retreating.

Li Baoping is already a gentleman of the academy.Even that Li Huai somehow became a sage of Sui Shanya Academy.

As for that person, it is even more... on the "mountain road" of future life, he will ride the dust.

After hearing about it, at the border of Dali, there were three more people in the school team. Cui Dongshan, a boy in white, took two survivors of the Lu family, Yu Lu and Xie Xie, to travel to the Sui Dynasty together.

Yu Lu, the crown prince of the Lu family, has long been a martial artist who has traveled far and wide, and he is sure to reach the top of the mountain.Xie Xie has long been a terrestrial fairy.

Except for Li Baoping, the young owner of the Li family on Fulu Street, the rest of them are simply a group of unreasonable...monsters.

Especially that mud-legged man surnamed Chen, with straw sandals and a hatchet, was once a thin boy like black charcoal.

Later, when I learned that the other party had successively bought many hilltops including Luopo Mountain, it gradually became a bit like a fairy mansion on the mountain.

She had some worries in her heart, but she felt that as long as she followed the Second Young Master, everything would be safe.

Later Luoposhan asked Lizhengyangshan, Zhu Lu was even more worried, but her father advised her not to do so, saying that that person has a simple temperament and will never settle old scores with our father and daughter.

And later, a Shanshui mansion report from the Shanhaizong of Shenzhou, Zhongtu made Zhu Lu completely panicked.

Zhu He sensed his daughter's preoccupation, and asked softly, "What do you think?"

Zhu Lu smiled and shook his head, "It's nothing."

There is a scenic spot in Yuzhou called Tianzhu Peak.

One peak stands alone, and every sunrise and sunset, there will be the golden sea of ​​clouds, and the scenery is magnificent.

A middle-aged military general with real power who has not yet married a wife, stays overnight in the gymnasium in the mountains, planning to watch the sunrise here.

The man was born in a vassal state of Dali Fan, but he has already reached the high position of General Yuzhou. The civil servant Liu Qingfeng and the military general Cao Mao are all well-known high-ranking officials who were not born in Dali.

According to the laws and regulations of the Dali court, the ultimate military commander is a hunting envoy with the highest official position. From the first rank to this step, there is no official position. Only those posthumous titles and false titles are important. Next , that is, there are a total of twelve generals in four expeditions, four towns and four flats. Now half of them have followed Song Changjing to the wild world, and the remaining half are stationed on the long border line in the middle of Aquarius Island. There are all states, and Dali is only set up in places like Yuzhou that are contested by military strategists.

In the middle of the night, Cao Mao left the gymnasium built on the mountain alone, and climbed to the top of Tianzhu Peak. He found a flat place, moved stones as a bench, and sat silently. .

Cao Mao narrowed his eyes suddenly, and a talisman boat came suddenly, changed its trajectory slightly, did not go to the gymnasium, raised the route, and landed floatingly on the peak side.

After Cao Mao saw the three people on the Fu Zhou, he remained indifferent and didn't intend to stand up to greet them.

A weaving official from Sipin, who was born in Tianfulu Street, Lizhu Cave. In terms of personal acquaintances, it’s not worth talking about. He just met a few times, and nodding acquaintances are not considered acquaintances. Can't control anyone.

Li Baozhen clasped his fists and said with a smile, "I have seen General Cao."

Cao Wu just nodded and didn't ask the other party why he came.

Li Baozhen moved forward and squatted aside, Zhu He and Zhu Lu, father and daughter, stood not far away.

Cao Wu saw that Li Zhizao was pretending to be a mute, and he really didn't want to be disturbed by an outsider, so he frowned slightly, so he could only ask, "What's your business?"

Li Baozhen smiled and said, "I just want to catch up with a nostalgic person, otherwise I will go directly to the government office to find General Cao."

General Cao Wu of Yuzhou, under the command of hunting envoy Su Gaoshan, followed the Dali Iron Cavalry all the way south to the Old Dragon City at the southernmost tip of the continent. Afterwards, the Dali Dynasty, which is one country and one continent, had to use the Old Dragon City as its homeland. The stronghold, with the power of one continent to resist the monster army in the wild world, the Dali frontier army fought and retreated to Dadu in the middle of Aquarius Continent.

Going south and returning north, in these two continuous battles, Cao Wu made a series of exploits.

Although he was not a native of the Dali Dynasty, he finally stood out and became the most promising one among the old generals of Su Gaoshan.

Cao Wuhui spared time during the first month of each year. He used to go to Dali Capital to visit the widow of the great general, but now he would go to Su Gaoshan's ancestral hometown to pay New Year's greetings.

It's not that there are no gossips in the official circles in the capital. Some say that he is showing off to His Majesty the Emperor. It doesn't matter, General Su has the kindness to know him. When General Su was alive, whether it was New Year's greetings or congratulations, the gate of the Su Mansion on Chi'er Street was crowded, and there was no shortage of him. Today is different from the past. General Su is gone. Inside, if anyone is missing, he cannot be missing.

Cao Wu said, "Li Zhizao, it seems that we haven't gotten to know each other well enough."

Li Baozhen asked with a smile, "When will General Cao return to his homeland?"

Cao Wu smiled and said, "Why did Li Zhizao say that?"

The current emperor Han Jingling of the Shihao Kingdom, the great general Huang He and his like, are completely unable to be equal to Cao Wu, who is now the general of the Yizhou of the Great Li Dynasty.

If Cao Wu is willing to restore his status, even if he intends to take off the status of General Yuzhou and return to Shihao Kingdom alone, it is not impossible to change the dynasty.

Li Baozhen was born as the chief spy of Dali, so of course he knows the true identity of this general of Yuzhou. A military general, attached to one of the young princes, Xu Mao owns an ancestral long lance, which is recognized as the No. 1 in horse warfare. Everyone in the Shihao Kingdom's government and the public knows the title bestowed by the late emperor, "Henglance Fu Shilang".

Xu Mao was originally the confidant of the prince Han Jingxin, and the Xu family was one of the pillars of the Shihao country's frontier army. Xu Mao was insane. He carried two heads and did not hesitate to kill the master. On the other side of the mountain, starting from the scout leader, he was promoted step by step to the current general of Yuzhou by virtue of his solid military achievements. However, Xu Mao is quite smart, knowing how to hide his name, so he used the pseudonym Cao Mao early on, otherwise Xu Mao's actions As a matter of fact, once it was leaked out, they would not have been able to hang out with the Dali Frontier Army back then.After all, in order to prevent the horseshoes of the Dali Iron Cavalry from going south, the Shihao Kingdom did not hesitate to wipe out all the frontier troops and defend the capital. Quite respectful.

Li Baozhen shook his head and said, "Brother Xu Mao, why bother to ask questions knowingly?"

Cao Wu narrowed his eyes and said, "Is it what His Majesty the Emperor meant?"

Li Baozhen laughed dumbly, picked up a stone at his feet, and gently threw it over the cliff, "Your Majesty has always trusted brother Xu Mao, not to mention our Dali frontier army, from the hunting envoy to the general soldier, in the past hundred years , Regardless of background, just look at military merit, how could His Majesty lose a meritorious general and the mainstay of the frontier army because of brother Xu Mao's identity and side effects?"

Cao Wu said: "I lead the soldiers to fight, and you are in charge of weaving. Now it is a peaceful situation with no battles to fight, but we can't urinate in a pot."

Li Baozhen smiled and said, "Using the words in my hometown, we are old brothers."

Cao Wu sneered: "It's not the same year from the same hometown, why did Li Zhizao say this?"

Li Baozhen said: "Brother Xu Mao and I have the same zodiac sign. In my hometown, not to mention the same zodiac sign, even if they are both son-in-laws who come to marry, if they meet on the road, they will call out Brother Tong. "

Zhu He had a serious face, Zhu Lu held back his laughter, and the young master was talking nonsense again.

Cao Wu lost his patience, "If there's nothing wrong, don't make trouble."

Li Baozhen found a few more stones and threw them over the cliff, "You and I have met that person before, and we have suffered from him."

Cao Wu remained silent, his thoughts drifting away.

In the early years of Shihao Country near Shujian Lake, two groups of people met on a narrow road in a snowstorm.

A young man in a blue cotton robe, with two followers.Zeng Ye, a young ghost cultivator, is a female ghost Ma Duyi who wears a fox fur talisman.

The prince Han Jingxin, who has not yet been crowned king, and his personal bodyguard, is the No. 1 martial artist in the Shihao Kingdom, Hu Han, a martial artist with a golden body.

There are also two confidantes, Xu Mao, a young military general who has the reputation of "Henglong Fu Poetry", and Mr. Zeng, who is enshrined in the house.

After the turmoil, Xu Mao personally killed more than forty cavalry soldiers who were the elite followers of the palace one by one.

Then cut off the head of the prince Han Jingxin with a sword, and hung it around his waist.He picked three war horses, and planned to leave his hometown, find another way out, and fight for his family.

It's just that Xu Mao didn't just leave in the wind and snow, but sat on the horse, waiting for the cotton-clothed man who went to hunt down Hu Han to return to his original place.

The latter threw Hu Han's head to Xu Mao, and Xu Mao was not polite, and hung his head on the other side of the saddle.

At that time, the Shihao Kingdom was one of the important vassal states of the old Zhuying Dynasty. From His Majesty the Emperor, to the civil and military officials in the temple, to the chief generals of the roadside troops, almost all of them were the main faction.Although the national power is very different, the Shihao Kingdom failed to cause too many casualties to the Dali Iron Cavalry, but even if the northern frontier army was wiped out and the capital was besieged by Su Gaoshan's army, even if the country was cut off, it would not fight with the Dali Song Clan. Bow down.For example, the prince Han Jingxin, who led Xu Mao and his party, personally ambushed and killed two scouts of the Dali Frontier Army with monks accompanying the army.It's just that the trend of the times, the end can only be a pebble against a stone that's all.

As for Xu Mao, who fell to the detriment of the protector, even if he managed to sneak into the capital alive by chance, and met the emperor of the Shihao Kingdom, without accident, he would either be killed directly or thrown to the battlefield. It's all dead.

After all, the death of a prince who was expected to inherit the throne is not a trivial matter.

Xu Mao simply took refuge in Da Li military general Su Gaoshan.

Li Baozhen said in a heartfelt voice: "Besides, I also met a credit knife man, surnamed Zeng. He once promised me an official position. If I didn't guess, he also promised you an official position. Dali Xunshou Make?"

Xu Mao asked back: "What about you, Shangzhu Guo's surname?"

The Xu family has an ancestral precept passed down by word of mouth, which roughly means that the descendants of the Xu family will need to repay a benefactor who "comes to collect debts" in the future, no matter what the other party asks for, no matter how long years have passed The descendants of the Xu family of "Xue" Changlong, after seeing this person and confirming the identity of the other party, they must repay the other party's kindness unconditionally. Although they die without regret, there is no room for bargaining.

This long spear has been passed down to Xu Mao for the fifth generation.The Xu family of Shihao Kingdom, loyal and loyal for generations, shed their blood at the border and guarded the border for successive emperors of the Han family. When it came to Xu Mao's father, he had to return to his hometown just because he didn't get along with the rich and powerful in the capital, and died in depression.

And the Mohist credit swordsman is "Mr. Zeng" who has always concealed his identity. After the accident on that snowy night, the two sides had an open and honest conversation. Xu Mao was finally able to keep the long spear. Mr. Zeng I also wish that Xu Mao will one day become a patrol envoy of Dali.

Judging the situation, if you can't be a hero, you have to settle for the next best thing, and be the hero who came into being and followed the trend.

This Mr. Zeng, who has ulterior motives and secretive actions, claims to be just a gangster, begging for food wherever there is food.

Li Baozhen continued to whisper in his heartfelt voice: "I'm not the same as you. I'm the same as Dong Shuijing from my hometown. I'm also a credit knife man. It's just that I walk in different lines and do my own business. Well water doesn't violate river water."

Xu Mao asked: "My patience is limited, please Li Zhizao to speak openly."

"Brother Xu Mao, please join us in the same boat. Forget it. I would like to put it a bit harshly. I implore Brother Xu Mao, to be with me, to be precise, with us, to be the cormorants, and work together to catch a fish that slipped through the net."

Li Baozhen said: "After the matter is completed, I can guarantee that Brother Xu Mao was an extremely human minister in his lifetime, and he will be extremely honored after his death, and he can find another way out, such as becoming one of the most respected mountain spirits in Aquarius Continent. To be a certain high-ranking mountain god of Dali, or to be the mountain king of the Five Sacred Mountains of the Shihao Kingdom depends on Brother Xu Mao's own will."

After throwing the stone in his hand, Li Baozhen clapped his hands, "A hero in his old age, full of ambition? This is not enough, it is far from enough."

Xu Mao pointed at the night, and said calmly: "Every man in the world is on the back of a horse, and the moon is full of thousands of states in the world."

Li Baozhen sighed softly, "Just pretend I haven't been here tonight."

Because this is Xu Mao's answer.

Whether it is Xu Mao, the poet of Shihao State, or Cao Wu, the Yuzhou General of the Dali Frontier Army, they are all warriors, and life and death are all on horseback, on the battlefield.

----

Zhongtu Confucian Temple, a secret place in Gongde Forest.

A prisoner, sitting by the lake, made a nest with the distiller's grains and corn.

The man guards a fishing path, in order to disperse the bait and atomize it, so he throws and lifts the pole again and again, but the pole is always empty.

That young man came again today, Liu Cha never asked the other party's name, nor did he care about why a Confucian disciple who was only in the lower five realms was able to come here.

Liu Cha didn't bother to explain anything, seeing that the young man was an out-and-out layman.

The boy asked curiously: "I heard that you need to use different fishing rods to catch different fish."

Liu Cha laughed and said, "A master can get a stick, but a layman can set up a street stall."

The boy nodded, "It sounds like what a master said."

In the wild world, dragged down the river.

Concubine Fei began to retreat.

Then came a group of foreign monks.

It seems that they have made an appointment to come to Yaoluohe and see Bai Ze on the same day.

It was like a forced "audience".

One of them is very eye-catching, looks like a teenager, thin, wearing an old mink fur, with two blushes on his cheeks, he looks very lively and lively.

The young man's voice was crisp and clear, and he said generously, "Master Bai, let's discuss something with you."

It turned out to be a girl who looked like a teenager.

Bai Ze smiled and said, "Tell me about it."

She rarely showed a bit of coquettish expression, and said: "I plan to take a trip to Haoran Tianxia, ​​and I will not take the initiative to cause trouble, but starting from the Great Wall of Sword Qi, I will kill anyone who dares to stop, and I will be treated as the wild world. I have tried too hard, but I can’t cut it, I was beaten, caught or killed, I just think I’m not as good as others, and I’ll admit it. But if I go to a certain continent in Haoran Tianxia, ​​such as Aquarius Continent, I won’t Will mess around...Anyway, that's probably what I meant, Master Bai, you're so smart, you must know what I mean."

Bai Ze smiled and said, "Are you looking for him?"

She grinned, a smiling face as bright as the sun.

Bai Ze said: "Then let's make an agreement. When I get into a fight with Li Sheng, you will find a chance to return to the wilderness. Therefore, you must find a way out for yourself in advance, even if you lose it." For half your life, you have to go back to the wild world. Before that, I can say hello to Li Sheng. You just need to promise that you will not be an enemy of the wild in the future, and you will not do whatever you want in the Haoran world. It's probably not a big problem."

She was obviously very surprised, "Are you sure?!"

She was just talking casually, after greeting Bai Ze, she was ready to leave, but she didn't expect Bai Ze to be so eloquent, it seems that it was definitely not in vain to call him Master Bai.

It is such a "girl", who is the most outstanding sword cultivator among the ancient demon clan, who has a lot of dao names, Baijing, Chaoyun, exterior scene, Yaoling...

Bai Ze smiled warmly, and said softly: "It seems that I really like it."

"I'm not sure if I like it, but that guy avoided me and never succeeded."

Bai Jing was a little embarrassed, "By the way, Master Bai, now my name is Xie Gou. This new name, how about it, does it make sense?"

Bai Ze hummed, nodded and said, "I'm not good at naming things."

It's okay for Bai Jing to say, the rest of the ancient monsters who woke up from their long sleep for thousands of years.

One by one, their hearts trembled, they were shocked, and their faces were not very good-looking.

One who can make sword repairer Bai Jing respectfully call "Master Bai", even if it is a scene, he must be qualified to make Bai Jing bow his head and give in.

Bai Ze smiled and said: "If you guessed right, you guys, including Bai Jing, have discussed it in advance to see if we can join forces and make a covenant with me, such as persuading me not to care too much about you, Almost there?"

Bai Jing laughed and said, "Master Bai, but now I'm back on my word and I'm on Master Bai's side. They're all named Bai, we're a family."

One by one, staring at Bai Jing, the traitor who turned against him, this is the barbaric world.

"There is no leader in the fourteenth realm, just relying on the large number, it doesn't make much sense on my side."

Bai Ze narrowed his eyes and said, "It's reasonable, let's not make an example."

Bai Jing didn't care about the life and death of those "allies", he just muttered happily, "Xiaomo, Xiaomo? This name is chosen, and it's sincere."

In the logging yard, Lin Zhengcheng kept watch alone.

As a stalker in the small town in the past, Lin Zhengcheng saw many things in his eyes. For example, Zhu Lu, who always liked to complain about himself when he was a girl, has been kept in the dark until now, and he doesn't know his true origin.

She has always felt that the group of people of the same age back then were able to achieve today's achievements, because of their background and talent, luck and fortune. Wei Bo, the land lord of Qidun Mountain, was lucky enough to become a closed disciple of the lineage of literary sages, and only then did he have a series of opportunities to experience...

In fact, in Qingming Tianxia, ​​there is a not-so-popular idiom called "Zhu and Chen are good friends". In addition, there is a relatively uncommon saying that Zhu and Chen's family will never betray each other.

Because in terms of background, Zhu Lu is quite good. It can even be said that among the younger generation in the town, as long as Ruan Xiu, Li Liu, and Li Xisheng are not discussed, she is a well-deserved leader, even better than Xie Ling from Taoye Lane and Hu Feng from Xishi Shop are even better, because Zhu Lu belongs to the "outsider" who is half of Lizhu Dongtian.

As for the chance, it was also given to her.

Before Lu Chen came here as a guest, he leaked more secrets to Lin Zhengcheng. It turned out that Zhu Lu's previous life came from the ancient battlefield of Qingming Tianxia, ​​Youzhou Zhulu County.

So she is neither a heart higher than the sky, but a life thinner than paper, and she is not a young lady whose body is a servant girl.

Even her name has a lot of background, a bit similar to Li Baoping in Fulu Street in Baopingzhou, and the person who gave the name "Zhulu" came from a certain Taoist in Baiyujing , Even Yu Dou is quite respectful of the female crown.

Because she is Bai Yujing, or in other words, the guardian of the small town arranged by Lu Chen for the elder brother.

Of course, it could be just "one of them".After all, around Zhou Li, a Taoist priest of the Shengao Sect, there would be a secret guardian of the Tao without accident.What's more, Lu Chen didn't say anything.

But even if it's just one of the three, Lu Chen's respect for the master brother is enough to see that Zhu Lu's life experience is good, and his cultivation talent is so good that Lu Chen deliberately concealed the secret for Zhu Lu who entered the Lizhu Cave a few years in advance. .

At that time, Lin Zhengcheng was heartbroken when he heard that the third head teacher was doing his best, and he muttered a few words, "Zhu and Chen's family, Zhu and Chen will make things respectful."

Lin Zhengcheng could understand the implication of this sentence, because Li Xisheng's surname should be "Chen", so Zhu Lu, as a key chess piece that Bai Yujing paid a lot of money to Haoran Tianxia, ​​also served as "Li Xisheng"'s guard on the mountain climbing road. Daoist, Zhu Lu treats Li Xisheng respectfully, which is the meaning of the title.

There is another sentence, "When a man meets a man, he is a friend, when a man meets a woman, he is married, and he will never leave."

Lin Zhengcheng's eyes became weird at that time, Lu Chen smiled resentfully, and laughed at himself, messing up the mandarin ducks. Didn't Pindao think of making a match for his future junior brother, Bai Yujing's fourth teacher Lalang.

Since Li Xisheng occupied a part of the luck of the Chen family in the small town, the appearance of the red deer should not only be a kind of debt repayment, but also a karma of flowers and fruits, similar to the Buddhist saying "the cause of the past life, the fruit of the present life, the cause of the present life, and the cause of the next life" fruit".If you want to say "Zhu meets Chen, he must be courteous", it is also applicable to Zhu Lu and Nipingxiang Chen Ping'an.In addition, if Zhu Lu can protect Li Baoping all the way to the Sui Dynasty, and study in the cliff academy by the way, it will be a small merit. , there must be another "reward" that fell from the sky. In short, Bai Yujing will never let her go to a foreign land for nothing.

If Zhu Lu's life journey can reach this step step by step, it could have become a beautiful story on the mountain.

It's just that if you can't grasp the opportunity, you have to "don't talk about it", and Lu Chen pretends that there is no such thing at all.

Just like the direct disciple of Pang Ding in Lingbao City, at the highest point in Baiyujing, the young Taoist official at that time showed a tenacious heart of Taoism, which made Yu Dou and Lu Chengao take a look.

Sun Jiashu in the old dragon city missed a piece of fortune equal to "the whole old dragon city". Sun Jiashu didn't lose his mind because of this.

Lin Zhengcheng didn't bother to beat around the bush with Lu Chen, and asked him directly how he planned to deal with Zhu Lu.

Should he just abandon Zhu Lu like this, or is he going to bring him back to Qing Ming Tianxia one day?

Lu Chen didn't answer the question, and only said a vague sentence.

There will be many results in life, but there is no if.

Lin Zhengcheng asked: "Headmaster Lu didn't intend to tell her the truth?"

Lu Chen shook his head, "Let's talk about it later. Telling the truth now will not help the matter. Once things are viewed in the long run, right and wrong, right and wrong, good and bad, they will all be a mess."

Lin Zhengcheng wondered: "Since Zhu Lu is so important, why did headmaster Lu let her go and watch Zhu Lu go to a fork that didn't meet expectations?"

The secret letter that Li Baozhen sent to Zhu Lu was an extremely critical turning point.

There is no precaution, Lu Chen has never had any contact with Zhu Lu during the years of setting up a stall, it seems that he deliberately did not try to scrutinize Zhu Lu's heart, did not try to carve a piece of dusty jade, and Lu Chen did not have any problems with the turmoil in Hongzhu Town. A move to remedy the situation.

With Lu Chen's way of Taoism, it is not impossible to deduce it. Just talking about Zhu Lu's martial arts practice, if Lu Chen wanted to give some advice, Zhu Lu's first three levels of martial arts would definitely not be so bumpy.

Because according to the guess of the national teacher Cui Chan, one of the top ten martial arts masters in Qingming Tianxia, ​​a certain avatar of Lu Chen, must occupy a place.

"It's just a fork in the road that doesn't meet the original intention of the poor, but it may be the right path for Zhulu in this life. How should this kind of thing be counted?"

Lu Chen said with a smile: "A person who cultivates the Tao has traveled a few times in the world, whether he is enlightened or not, in the final analysis, it is his own fault, and he has to ask for more blessings."

It seems that looking forward 1 years is inevitable.It seems that looking back 1 years is all accidental.

The truth can be the Spring Festival couplets and blessing characters that are changed every year, the spring breeze and drizzle that comes and goes quietly, the winter snow that will always melt away, the running water that never returns, the sewing and mending. The [-]-year-old old house is a new house that seems to be demolished and rebuilt, but still retains the foundation.

It can also be the streets and alleys of the small town in Lizhu Cave. If you like the door, you can visit it as a guest. If you have quarreled and quarreled with the house, if you don’t like it, you can take a detour.It is the grain shop, the cloth shop, the wine shop, the white matter shop, the happy event shop, the bluestone slabs of Fulu Street and Taoye Lane, or the yellow mud road of Xinghua Lane.It can even be the chicken droppings on the table, the dog droppings in the corner of the door, a dusty wine glass, the trace of dripping water year after year in the alley, a pair of lazy to clean, every time you eat The green bamboo chopsticks that I wiped under my armpits...

But the truth is only the scorching sun that exposes the backs of the poor in the summer, and the burning eyes of everyone when they look up at the sun. If you have thousands of reasons, you have to bear it no matter you understand the reasons or not.

There is a local saying in the small town, which is often spoken by the elderly, who can't see clearly and are deaf, and they are already a Bodhisattva.

On the surface, this is a sentence full of self-deprecating meaning. When a person is about to die, he is almost like a Bodhisattva carved in clay or wood.

But if you look deeper, this is a very profound statement. It’s just that when the old saying has been passed down for too long and passed down from generation to generation, young people have long since ignored it. , it was only a slightly sad, or a joke that was completely dismissed.

I am afraid that the disappearance of a local dialect is the death of a hometown, just like the passing of an old man, and he will rest in peace.

In the past, at the kiln entrance of a certain dragon kiln in a small town, there was a master craftsman who was always dressed cleanly after every work, and an apprentice kiln worker who lived next to charcoal, soil and kiln fire all year round.

Later, at the head of the Sword Qi Great Wall, a gentleman and two students.

The gentleman was the first to speak while drinking, and the two proud students, Cui Dongshan and Cao Qinglang, sang in succession.

"Pearls in poor children's clothes, originally Yuan Ming is good."

"I don't know how to seek for myself, but I count other people's treasures. Counting other treasures is useless in the end. Please listen to me."

"It is not stained by dirt, and the light is self-illuminating. It cannot but be born from the heart, and when it is spoken, it is like a lion."

Lions sing in Mud Bottle Alley.
