If audio player doesn't work, press Reset or reload the page.

In the early morning, the sky is bright.

The Taoist priest, who was about to get out of bed, began to act as a demon.

I saw the Taoist priest holding a peach wood sword, stepping on the gang, and chanting a "Tao Jue" copied from nowhere.

"Please listen to me, there is too much immortality in the ancient times, the sun and the moon are shining together, the mountains and rivers are magnificent, and it is made into a golden elixir with no leaks, no leaks and no leaks, and fights with dragons and snakes."

The Taoist priest shook out a sweeping leg, rolled up some fallen leaves on the ground, and then a golden rooster stood alone, handing out a sword in his right hand, and a leaf just stopped at the tip of the sword.

"Clear, light, turbid, heavy, yin and yang, the sky is high and the earth is thick and spiritual, a little spiritual light makes a candle, like a cloud blooming all over the sky, rushing like a decree, put the universe into one sleeve."

The Taoist priest shook his sword flower, threw his sleeve with his left hand, twisted his body, pointed the sword to the sky, and at the same time tried to roll the leaf into his sleeve, probably because he had not mastered his strength, the leaf swirled in the air, but failed to do so. It's okay to put it in the sleeve, the Taoist priest has his own remedy, a jump, a high kick, the fingers of the left hand close together, and the tip of the sword points elsewhere.

"The wine, color, wealth and energy are far away. Yun Peng Yuyou Sun Moon Companion, pure yang accumulates yin virtue, Tianguan turns the axis of the earth, Qiongjing Xianjiu, and Master Fengxian is here to rescue."

Xue Ruyi was speechless for a long time, and suddenly felt a little pity for this Taoist priest who seemed to go mad after drinking a little wine.

Yesterday, the Taoist priest and the young man who said the picture in the spring were so snobbish, more or less difficult?

She sighed, "Don't mess around like that, I'll just drive you out of the house."

I saw that the Taoist priest finally stopped his figure, put one hand behind him, put the other hand and fingers together in front of him, and snorted coldly with his nasal voice.

Xue Ruyi is not happy all of a sudden, you dare to make further progress, can you really be an old lady begging you to stay?

The middle-aged Taoist priest put away the peach wood sword and threw it at the mud. He was thinking about the sword technique of hitting the ground with one hand, but the strength was not enough or the angle was wrong. Still falling.

Xue Ruyi still had some grudges in her heart and asked, "Are you really able to draw that kind of three official talismans?"

Last night, she asked Judge Hong and Ji Xiaoping. The two high-ranking officials of the City God Temple shook their heads, saying that this kind of talisman was unheard of.

In the end, Judge Hong only said that maybe the talismans on the top of the mountain should not have secret legends, and they must be in the upper five realms, which may be feasible. Otherwise, ordinary cultivators of talismans, even the kind of land gods with profound Taoism, would not be able to draw such effects. 's talisman.

The Taoist priest shook his head and pointed to the peach wood sword lying on the ground, "You can draw a talisman, but you are not very sure about the talisman. Even if you use the talisman to successfully connect Yin and Yang, pass the gentlemen of the Temple of the City God, and then want to pass the test in the underworld, It is extremely difficult, and to use an inappropriate analogy, it is somewhat similar to beheading the officials of this dynasty with the sword of Shang Fang from the previous dynasty.”

Xue Ruyi immediately raised her eyebrows, she was indeed a liar.

The Taoist priest immediately added, "But the poor Taoist has a good friend, who is amazing. He has great supernatural powers, and can speak and follow the law.

Xue Ruyi sneered and said, "Aren't you bragging about not making drafts? Can you still know such a friend on the mountain?"

"Blessed Immeasurable Heavenly Venerate."

The Taoist said with one hand, "It's definitely not nonsense. The friends on the mountain of the poor Taoist have a few extremely powerful characters."

Xue Ruyi asked, "For example?"

The Taoist priest said, "If there is a chance in the future, I will introduce a friend named Zhong to meet Miss Xue."

Xue Ruyi wondered: "What's your identity? Could it be a genealogical cultivator from a certain immortal mansion?"

The Taoist smiled and said, "You will know when you meet. It doesn't matter what your identity is. Heroes don't care about their origins. Heroes don't ask where they come from."

Seeing that this Taoist priest didn't seem to be joking, Xue Ruyi had a new question, "Are you really going to help that boy? What are you trying to do?"

The Taoist priest said, "What people see with their eyes is heaven and earth."

Xue Ruyi was confused, "What do you mean?"

The Taoist priest had to explain: "A certain expert said that my generation of Taoist monks, if they can help one person in front of them, can help the whole world."

On a trip abroad, I chatted a lot with Zheng Juzhong and Li Xisheng before, and when I chatted with people again, I would inevitably lose a little patience.

Xue Ruyi was silent for a moment, "Who said that?"

The Taoist said with a smile: "It's far away in the sky and close in front of you."

Xue Ruyi's face darkened.

The Taoist priest said: "I believe that Miss Xue also sees some points. The young man's 'life is poor' now, just because of his rough life, his life has been plundered by many big and small calamities, so now outsiders give him extra, whether it is money or other. Teenagers may not be able to catch it, and it is very easy to turn misfortune instead of good fortune. It is not harmful to help the poor in the market, and it is a good and kind deed to accumulate yin and good fortune. The giant lake is like a stream, and the lake water flows back into the stream. If the latter has a thick life, like a small stream, the water bed is wide and can bear the load. It is the method of immortality on the mountain. , what hurts is the root and yang of a person, which is the so-called unfortunate consumption of the old saying, this principle must be observed, and it is necessary to be cautious. Fortunately, the thickness of life, the increase or decrease of fortune, longevity, and longevity are not set in stone. In the eyes of the poor, he is a person who has a poor life but is blessed. In short, he has a late blessing, he does not owe the sky, he is not ashamed of the earth, he does not take people as rich, and he does not give in to people as precious. This is why the poor did yesterday. The root of the saying 'God helps those who help themselves'."

Xue Ruyi nodded, but in fact she didn't see the fate of the young man at all. She was just a ghost, neither a warrior nor an official of the Temple of the City God, how could she see these mysterious and mysterious numerology.

She hesitated, "Then me and Zhang Hou?"

The Taoist said with a smile: "Zhang Hou has the protection of his ancestors, and he himself is a person in a blue sarong. Miss Xue gave him a fairy family fate, and Zhang Hou can also accept it."

She asked, "Is there really no sequelae?"

After all, she is a ghost, but the teenager is a human being.

The Taoist priest said, "Isn't yin and yang only in geography and not in people's hearts? Miss Xue, don't get the order wrong, put the cart before the horse."

Xue Ruyi breathed a sigh of relief.

The first time she discovered this fake Taoist priest, it seemed that she still had some real skills?

The Taoist priest asked: "Miss Xue, since you are not afraid of the scorching sun and wind, why do you stay here and linger?"

For a small country like Yuxuanguo, it is more than enough for a sea-viewing cultivator to find a dojo with abundant spiritual energy and establish a sect.

Although Xue Ruyi is a ghost, since she is able to have a close relationship with the judge of the city's capital city and the chief officer of the Yin-Yang Division, she thinks that she is not lacking in yin and virtue. Yes, being a mountain goddess is the best choice.

Xue Ruyi said vaguely, "At first, I made a bet with someone to learn a poem written on red leaves from the ancients, and was picked up by someone inadvertently, and I made an oath with him in a temple."

Year after year, the treasure fan is idle, living up to the bright moon and breeze. Spring and autumn come, the chills are mournful, speechless and condensed. Geese pass by, and the moon is like a hook.

The Taoist priest hesitated for a moment, carefully mulling over his words, and asked, "Miss Xue, are you proficient in sentence reading?"

Xue Ruyi smiled and said, "It's alright. I'm relatively interested in exegesis. I have nothing to do, and I have read a lot of works by former sages.

Xue Ruyi would not be embarrassed to discuss exegesis with her, she considered herself an expert.

This involved Zhang Hou, a young man next door. He treasured a copybook of "ancestral inheritance", with a total of thirty-six characters and no signature, but was praised by Judge Hong as thirty-six lizhu.

This copybook is also the foundation of the young man's way. It's a pity that Zhang Hou's aptitude is average and his progress is slow. Now he can be regarded as a monk of the second realm.

And these thirty-six words can be roughly divided into two sentences, and the content of the two sentences is quite obscure, which involves exegesis skills.

She explained the deep meaning to Zhang Hou based on her own sentence, and then helped Zhang Hou embark on the path of Taoism according to a superior guidance method contained in the thirty-six characters of the copybook.

The Taoist smiled and said: "When I was young, I once heard a friend, half an elder, talk about the relationship between words, words, sentences and meanings. He said that every word composed of every sentence has weight. I just lived there, but I didn't feel deeply. Later, I found out that Wen Sheng originally authored "The Rectification of the Name", and I saw it in it back then. "Famous is a true metaphor, and the name is used. It is tired to write, and the name is beautiful. Use Li All are well-known.' Seeing this, I suddenly realized it."

Xue Ruyi had a proud look on her face, and pointed to the peach wood sword on the ground, "Stop talking nonsense, you will know how to show off your knowledge, hurry up, use the sword as a pen, write the content, and I will help you break the sentence."

At the moment, Chen Ping'an was a little depressed, and he didn't know how to open his mouth for a while. The content of the copybook that was treasured by Xue Ruyi and the teenager was actually not complicated. Anyway, there were only thirty-six words, and there was indeed an ancient guide hidden in it. Law, and Chen Ping'an just glanced at it and looked at the meaning of Taoism, and found that there is some Taoism with one of the three mountains and the Confucian Temple ritual system. Of course, Chen Ping'an will not covet this "Taoshu" of the magic weapon. But the problem is that Xue Ruyi, a half-hearted exegesis expert, can't say that she is completely wrong, but there must be errors in making a sentence for Zhang Hou. In Taoism on the mountain, the difference of a word often leads to a thousand miles off topic. Otherwise, why would there be one word "on the mountain"? "Master" This kind of Qi trainer?

That is to say, the contents of the copybook and the Taoist sages are extremely pure and generous. If Zhang Hou followed Xue Ruyi's preaching, teaching and demystifying to practice, it is estimated that he would lead the way and lead to the devil. . Although Zhang Hou's aptitude is average, he is not a genius of Taoism, and it will be extremely difficult to enter the cave in the future. However, under the preaching of Xue Ruyi, the young man has practiced this guidance technique since he was a child. Explain the problem.

Chen Ping'an thought about it, that's all, he was dismissed from the house as a person with ulterior motives, and he said straight to the point: "Miss Xue, that Zheng Zhong Zheng Sinong is naturally a great scholar of classics, but he is in the In the history of Confucianism, in exegesis, many details need to be discussed. For example, some of his sentences have attracted a Confucian sage with the same surname of Zheng to refute word by word, so if Miss Xue copied Zheng Sinong's sentence reading. Law……"

Xue Ruyi's eyes were faint, "Have you seen that copybook?"

Chen Ping'an nodded and said, "I've seen it, I also know that there is a guidance method hidden in the copybook."

Xue Ruyi was silent.

In the case of Mu Duo’s repairing fire and banning the common kingdom, he held a candle in the temple in the palace, and gradually went east to Haixi to be in Liusha Shuonan and Shengjiao to the four seas.

As soon as Chen Pingan stretched out his hand, he controlled the peach wood sword in his hand, and began to write the thirty-six characters on the ground to help her break the sentence, and at the same time explain to her in detail why it was so.

"Zheng Sinong divided the first eighteen characters into three sentences. Among them, 'fire ban' is read separately, and the meaning is incomprehensible. The frequent occurrence of 'fire ban' in ritual and sage works is the proof of the linked text. If we follow Zheng Sinong's solution, The duties of the official of the ancient palace are too broad, so Zheng Sinong was so scolded that he was directly denounced by the other sage as 'no resignation', no resignation, just no words, for scholars, it is a very heavy criticism."

"As for the last eighteen characters, there have been disputes within the Confucian Temple for hundreds of years, but according to... Wen Sheng's view, the word Sheng Xu Fuzi explained 'ji' and '絲', which should be correct, cum, and also , The sun is quite seen, it describes the sun's deflection, and the end is the same as the solution of 'to', and it goes straight. Therefore, a more reasonable sentence is 'the east is in the sea, the west is in the quicksand, the south is south, and the sound teaching ends in the four seas.' Therefore The extended meaning is 'wherever the sun shines, its voice teaching is practiced'."

"That's why Zhanghou's Daoyin technique, one of the top of the head cave house, cut open the gate of heaven to lead the way of sunlight, as the way of fire and sun refining, it seems to be pursuing the majestic weather of the sun hanging in the sky, and then passing through a straight line In order to guide the sun, Zhang Hou directly illuminates the sky at noon every day, and the exterior and interior are connected with the interior. In fact, the cave is wrong, and the path of sunlight is also wrong. In this way, practice qi step by step. The right way, the reason is very simple, just think about the house in the world, unless it is the courtyard where the four waters return to the church, there is no mansion with a wide open roof, how to keep out the wind and rain..."

Xue Ruyi sometimes frowned, sometimes suddenly.

The "fake Taoist priests" who spoke such opinions, whether it was Wu Di or Chen Jianxian, were just one of Chen Ping's avatars.

Previously, Chen Ping'an used the talisman method to distract himself by attaching himself to a talisman puppet, like a star falling all over Aquarius.

For example, the fake "Taoist priest" in the capital of Yuxuan Kingdom, in addition to setting up stalls, will also study the Taoist rituals secretly taught by the Great Heavenly Master outside Longhu Mountain, and because of the relationship between this copybook, he left with fate and started to expound in-depth research.

In Yuzhou, there was a "Chen Ping'an" who, as a lay Buddhist of Xiang Buddha, went to a Luzong temple to study and maintain the precepts. The key to the Buddhist principles and purposes of the Vinaya School lies in the word "precept", and the precepts are grouped into two categories: "abstinence" and "action and maintenance". Upholding is the practice of all good things, and it is to cultivate all good doors. That's why "Chen Ping'an" here only wrote that Buddhist phrase before.

In the realm of Qingxing Kingdom, there is a Qi practitioner from a foreign country who reads military books every day in the Xianjia Inn.

Near Zhengyang Mountain, there is a place called Caiyushan Bamboo Branch School, where he serves as an outsider, and uses the method of arithmetic to study the roots of farmers and businesses.

Xue Ruyi looked at the thirty-six characters on the ground, raised her head, and asked, "Who are you?"

Chen Ping'an smiled and said, "Who is not a 'Taoist' on the mountain in the world."

Xue Ruyi lowered her head again, and looked at the thirty-six words that were re-phrased. The more she thought about it, the more profound she felt. No surprises, this sentence is the correct answer!

When Xue Ruyi raised her head, the middle-aged Taoist priest had already walked away with the peach wood sword, and she asked, "Let's set up a stall?"

Chen Pingan turned his head and said with a smile: "Pindao is best at observing words and expressions, so he will take the initiative to pack up and get out of the way."

Xue Ruyi shook her head, "You are not renting a house with me, whether you live in it or not, I won't count it."

The middle-aged Taoist snorted and suddenly realized, yes, they are all residents, one new and one old.

Xue Ruyi hesitated for a moment, "Can Taoist Chen teach the most appropriate method of opening a house and refining fire?"

The Taoist priest shook his head, "Zhang Hou only read the book of sages and sages, and the poor Taoist is vulgar, but he can't teach him the superior magic of the fairy family."

Xue Ruyi was a little anxious, "Why do you still hold grudges?"

The Taoist priest smiled and said: "The money is clearly a man, and the love and hatred are clearly distinguished. He is really a hero. He has no temper or character. How can he be a Taoist priest?"

Xue Ruyi stretched out her hand, "I bought all the talismans that the Taoist priest and I sold before."

The Taoist sighed, raised his sleeves quickly, and walked towards her quickly, "Pin Dao has long thought that Mr. Zhang's roots are very strange, and with this talisman, it is like a divine help!"

This year's cold spring is especially obvious. At the end of February, there was also a heavy snowfall.

In Jingyang Mansion of Qingling Kingdom, there has been the custom of drinking early wine since ancient times.

After the snow melted, even if they were frozen into quails, not only men but also women called friends to each other, and the aroma of meat and wine still wafted in the market.

There is a sect of Xianjia with a long history in Jingyang Mansion, the Zhuzhi Sect of Yushan Mountain.

A middle-aged man wearing a cotton robe and a pair of suede boots was walking along a creek where the ice surface had just thawed, and the water was gurgling. He was hurriedly stepping on the muddy road. The old man with a face, hurried forward in three steps.

The old man said sternly: "Old! What the **** is going on with you, the main lord is here, and you haven't seen anyone yet. It's a big deal to ask me to come here to pick you up. Do you think it's Young Master Xiahou who invites you to drink?!"

The man said aggrieved: "Uncle Bai, I'm going out a quarter of an hour earlier."

The old man who was called Uncle Bai said angrily: "You have an appointment to drink breakfast at the middle of the hour, so Young Master Xiahou has to be there on time, how can it be enough to arrive at the appointment a quarter of an hour earlier? Understand, how to be a know-it-all!"

The man bowed his head and sighed, and warmed his hands with a breath, "You know guests from outside, and you know from outside. Uncle Bai, calm down, come back and invite you to drink a pot of turpentine wine."

The old man glared and said, "This is not an example!"

The man nodded vigorously, "Guarantee, I won't do it next time!"

The old man hesitated for a moment, and said in his heart: "What kind of temper does Young Master Xiahou have, even if you haven't experienced it yourself, you should have heard a little bit about it. It's neither serious nor serious. You screwed up this wine bureau, and good things have turned into bad things. , don't you have to turn around and blame me then?"

The man rubbed his hands and smiled and said, "If it's really because of such a trivial matter, I will be hated by Young Master Xiahou. No one will complain about Uncle Bai, and my conscience has not been eaten by dogs."

The old man glanced at the scraps on the man's shoulder. Obviously, the boy went down to the pit to find veins and quarry stones. The old man remained calm, but his eyes were a little soft, but he snorted coldly, "You are a barefooted person who is not afraid of wearing shoes. If you know guests from outside the door, you don't have to be afraid of eating Xiahou's son's hanging. It's a big deal, slap the buttocks and leave, don't you have a place for you to stay here? If I'm implicated by you, how can I go, I can carry a whole Is the director Yushan running away, don't let me run into you kid, or I will scold you every time I see you."

The so-called cold-hearted and warm-hearted, but that's it.

There are always some old people who like to deliberately say things that are unpleasant but reasonable, as if they are afraid that others will read him well.

The man seemed to be a jerk, and rubbed the old man's shoulders with a hippie smile, "Uncle Bai is an old fairy, isn't Yushan still walking as fast as usual?"

The old man shook his shoulders, shook off the hands of the man in the cotton robe, and taught a lesson: "Anyway, you are a acquaintance, save money, buy a decent robe, look at you poor and sour!"

The man smiled and said, "It's not a thing to wear a robe. Besides, the real rich people on the mountain all look like me. Wearing a robe, it's not very atmospheric."

"How much money do you have? Dare to talk about real rich people, have you seen them?"

"Uncle Bai, when I'm rich, I will wear seven or eight robes on my body and show off."

"Do you wear robes or sell robes?"

"It's okay to sell both while wearing it, Uncle Bai, isn't my business doing well?"

Uncle Bai said: "Old, the rebuilding of the sect cannot be rushed. There is a long way to go. You still have to read the Shanshui Di newspaper and find the elders and brothers of the sect first. Like a genealogy, you don't have the same name. Whether it's restoring the country or establishing a new imperial court, how would you be willing to hand over the ruins of a huge immortal mansion to a four-level Qi practitioner like you, even if that new Jun Dadu, if you are willing to return the original site, will you be able to keep the family business?"

Because the entire south of Baopingzhou was occupied by the wild monster clan, countless mountain gates and monks moved north one after another, and entered the northern area after crossing Dadu. Nowadays, there are still many southern immortal mansions and mountain sects in the newspapers of various landscape houses in Baopingzhou. The old department, or recruiting troops, trying to replenish the manpower and restore the old glory, otherwise, the ancestors hall has been relocated and it is too far away from the original place of the sect. It is necessary to report to those who have been separated for many years. Which country where.

Chen Jiu nodded and said: "It's really not good, if I really want to find the elders of the division, I will go to the head of Guo, ask her to help me rebuild the mountain gate, and then sign a paper mountain alliance with the head of Guo. In this way, the Zhuzhi faction has down the mountain."

Bai Bo laughed angrily, "It's fantastic!"

The earliest patriarchal hall of the Zhuzhi School was established on the top of Caiyu Mountain. Today, there is still a patriarchal hall ruins, but it was relocated to another place in the hands of the second-generation mountain master. , always feel that the omen is not good. Just because of the cornucopia of jade mountain, there is a quarry called Yexi. The jade produced here can be used to peck inkstones or be used to carve into various precious jades and jade mountains. Reiki, Reiki veins are similar to chalcedony waterway, although the content is not high, but it is extremely rare on the mountain, especially those large jade, placed in the courtyard, used as a Feng Shui stone, almost the ones from Qingling Kingdom. Standard for aristocratic families.

However, the Bamboo Branch Sect never dared to hide such boulders that could not be found. They would pay tribute to Zhengyang Mountain, and then resell them to dignitaries at a high price from a certain peak.

The founder of the Bamboo Branch School, who is good at geography and has a unique eye, signed a contract with the imperial court in the early years, and used a very low price to purchase the entire Dau Jade Mountain and the surrounding veins. When the monks of the Zhuzhi School dig deeper, it is like sitting on a treasure mountain. After realizing it, Zhengyang Mountain has never thought that there is such a valuable jade vein hidden under his nose. It is just Zhuzhi. The faction had already signed a land deed with the court at that time, and it was too late to regret it, but Zhengyang Mountain did not make such a ruthless act of slaughtering it. Covenant, the latter actually became the vassal sect of Zhengyang Mountain.

The current head, Guo Huifeng, is a female cultivator of golden elixir.

Only because of the opening of the Bamboo Branch School

The ancestor of Shan was a contract with the previous dynasty, so when the founding emperor of Qingling Kingdom sat on the dragon chair two hundred years ago, the Zhuzhi faction and the jade mountain encountered a crisis that was about to come.

It is said that she is sitting in a large formation on the Mount Jade Mountain, and it is clear that if the Sword Immortal of Zhengyang Mountain dares to occupy the ancestral property of the Mount Jade Mountain, she will come to burn all the jade stones, Zhengyang Mountain, Qingling Kingdom and Zhuzhi Sect. A ore vein.

The resolute character of this head female cultivator is evident.

Chen Ping'an smiled, finally seeing the prodigy brother who worked hard and made a lot of money in Shuilongfeng.

When he was a mountain master, when he was in Luopao Mountain, he seldom took the initiative to talk about other mountains, let alone a certain monk.

But this man is definitely an exception.

Not to mention millet grains, even Nuanshu and Shi Rou, the shopkeeper of Qilong Lane, have heard of this.

This prodigy brother must never have imagined that he has such a high "prestige" in Luopao Mountain.

According to the old cook, at the wine table, if you don't talk about Brother Xiahou's feat, drinking is tasteless.

This well-known "wizard brother", named Xiahou Zan, as the proud disciple of the ancestor Yan of Shuilongfeng, has been in charge of the espionage affairs of Zhengyang Mountain, and has collected intelligence for 20 years. , One of the most important intelligence lines is to stare at Chen Ping'an and Liu Xianyang in Huaihuang County, Old Longzhou. For this reason, Brother Xiahou's few capable subordinates can be called confidants, and they also cooperate with Embroidery, Yuye, Chong Danjiang Shuifu, whether deep or shallow, has climbed up the relationship, and has smashed a lot of immortal money into the latter's pockets to many Shuifu subordinates who claim to have hands and eyes, ears and eyes.

But this Xiahou brother from beginning to end has never used the means of inferiority. Of course, he really did not dare to act rashly. After all, the backing of the mountain is Beiyue Piyun Mountain. The owner of the mountain has always been the accountant supported by Shanjun Wei Bo. He is responsible for taking a lot of the gray income of the Shanjun mansion through a Niujiaodu shared by the two mountains, laundering it into clean immortal money, and secretly flowing into the Shanjun mansion treasury every year.

As for that Liu Xianyang, he left his hometown early and went to study for many years with the Confucian Chen Clan in Bosuozhou. As a result, when he returned home, he was lucky and changed his body. He became the direct disciple of Ruan Qiong, Longquan Sword Sect, and Ruan Qiong was the Dali Dynasty. the chief offering.

The backers on both sides were either Beiyue Shanjun or Chief Da Liruan, so brother Xiahou would dare to mess around.

By the time the famous Zongmen celebration was over, Brother Xiahou would have "completed his merits and virtues".

Chen Jiu suddenly said: "Uncle Bai, I beg you, if that Xiahou Jianxian asks, can you say that I paid the fat man for the swollen face for this drink?"

Uncle Bai said, "Three pots of turpentine wine."

Originally, Yushan had to check with Xiahou Zan on time, so this meal was a public expense of the Zhuzhi faction, and Bai Ni didn't have to pay for it himself.

"Two pots!"

"make a deal."

In the boundary of Caiyu Mountain, on a bank called Sanhuatan, there is a restaurant of Bamboo Branch that is not open to the public for business. There is now a wine bureau.

The person in charge today is the current mining officer in charge of cutting the Yushan Quarry.

There was only one guest, a noble person from Zhengyang Mountain, a sword immortal who was not too young but also definitely not old, Xiahou Zan.

The escorts were a man and a woman, who knew old customers from outside the door, and a female cultivator Liang Yuping, with the Taoist name "Banana Leaf".

The "hairpin" of the female nun is a small and exquisite plantain fan.

As for the man, there is nothing to say, he is just an outsider, he looks ordinary, his realm is not high, and his status is average.

She got the news out of nowhere and volunteered to participate in the wine party, but Uncle Bai couldn't stop her.

Liang Yuping is an apprentice of the Jizu Mountain lineage, and it is no surprise that she is the next peak leader.

And Jizu Mountain is also the incense Dao vein passed down by the previous head. In fact, the Bamboo Branch faction was divided into two factions. The cultivators of the Yushan lineage did not want to be too attached to Zhengyang Mountain, while the Jizu Mountain lineage was determined to seek refuge in the Zhengyang Mountain. It used to be with Qiuling. The mountains are showing affection everywhere, but now they have turned around and hugged Man Yuefeng's thigh. There are three types of vassal and subordination relationships on the mountain. The first type is expressly determined that the two parties belong to the relationship between the upper and lower mountains. The genealogy of the monks who go down the mountain must be included in the supplementary book of genealogy of the ancestors of the mountain. The status is naturally inferior, and it is extremely difficult to escape the control of the mountain. The second type, the vassal sect, is the kind of subordinate immortal mansion that needs to pay tribute money and materials to the sect master sect on time. The relationship between the Zhuzhi sect and Zhengyang Mountain is this kind. The third type is allies on the mountain, but the two are very different in strength, and the weaker party does not need to pay tribute, such as Luopao Mountain and Zhuchai Island on the back of Clawfish.

The restaurant is two stories high, and there is a large room on the second floor, which has always been specially used to entertain the distinguished guests of Zhengyang Mountain.

Uncle Bai walked up the stairs with a man named Jiujiu. In the corridor, Liang Yuping was already standing at the door, slender, with a string of priceless qiuzhu bracelets on his wrist.

The nun looked at about thirty years old, with a slender body and a mole on the corner of her mouth.

The robe she wore today was obviously carefully selected. The thin parts were thinner, and the fat parts were chubby.

Liang Yuping saw the Bai Ni, who held the real power of mining, and complained softly: "Bai Bo, how can I make Young Master Xiahou wait for a long time? When you come, Young Master Xiahou will tell me not to worry."

The female nun's voice was not too loud, not too small. Uncle Bai from the cave house in the corridor could hear it very clearly, and Xiahou Jianxian from the dragon gate in the room must have heard it more clearly.

Uncle Bai smiled softly, "That's why Yuping is in charge of hospitality."

The nun returned with anger and joy.

After entering the room, Uncle Bai bowed his hands in apology, and Young Master Xiahou put down the bamboo hat in his hand, stood up, and said with a smile that he didn't have to be so outspoken.

Uncle Bai asked, "Xiahou Jianxian, I'll let someone serve you?"

Xiahou Zan nodded and smiled, "Naturally it's up to the guest to follow the master. Anyway, I have nothing to do now, so what if I wait for a while, not to mention that fellow Daoist 'Banana Leaf' brews good tea. The Mingqian tea I ordered is still delicious."

Uncle Bai looked at the relieved acquaintance from the corner of his eyes.

What a fool.

The implication of this, I started to ask the teacher for guilt, but I couldn't hear it?

Bai Bo repeatedly clasped his fists to beg for mercy: "I'm not old-fashioned, I'll drink three glasses of fine wine later."

"The elders are respected. Uncle Bai will treat me like an outsider if he talks like that again."

"Don't dare."

The female cultivator began to smooth things out, "Master Xiahou, today there is a main dish, drunk shrimp, but our restaurant has spent a lot of effort to buy eighteen 'silver', and we made up a plate. A Da Li superintendent of transportation has a passion for incense, so I finally bought it."

It's like she bought it out of her own pocket.

Uncle Bai didn't care that she was robbed of the credit.

Xiahou Zan said with a smile: "Yinzi, also known as Helong, I used to be in the light of Master, **** long, and I have eaten it several times."

The female nun suddenly looked extremely embarrassed.

Bai Ni is also a big head, but you Liang Yuping think it is rare, you said that you are showing off something with a Shuilongfeng sword immortal, Shuilongfeng not only cultivates kendo, the direct disciples often also practice water law, and the water in one continent "clearly offers game" , certainly not lack of knowledge.

It turns out that there is an underground river in Baopingzhou, which is known as the Dragon Road. It is always a ferry from Xianjia. There is a unique kind of strange river shrimp in the water. In the north of the river, such as Shushui Kingdom, it is called "River Dragon", and in the south, it is nicknamed "Silver". A river dragon with a length of one finger is a first-class rare and precious river. If a river dragon has lived for a hundred years, its body shape is long to two fingers. Nowadays, a river dragon with a finger-length can be sold for a snow money, and there is no market for it. If you don't have any friendship with the Dali Governor's Transport Office or the Hou family of the old Longcheng, you can't buy it at all.

Xiahou Zan asked casually, "Which transport officer is that?"

Uncle Bai said, "It's an **** officer surnamed Huang."

"How many officials?"

"It seems to be from the fifth grade."

Xiahou Zan nodded, "That's one of the assistants under the command of Governor Yu Yun."

In the past, this kind of mountain delicacies were all made by a senior brother who was in charge of money in Shuilongfeng, who ordered it directly with the governor of the Dali Caoyun Office, but the surnamed Yu was a big one. It is said that he went to Zhuguoguan with a Dali The children of the clan are very friendly, so they got such a fat shortage.

Chen Pingan smiled.

Speaking of which, Yu Shanfang, the transport supervisor in charge of this Longdao route, is now at the Dali Superintendent's Office. Because of Guan Yiran's relationship, the two parties are still old acquaintances and old wine friends. The wine is even worse, say he is fake drunk, he gets under the table when he drinks too much, and if he is really drunk, he touches the boots of the female cultivator Qi Qi when he gets under the table.

Back then, the Dali court set up a new yamen to supervise and take charge of the ferry route of Yizhou, Xianjia ferry and the transportation of goods on the mountain. The family got three chairs. Originally, Guan Yiran wanted to sit on the lowest chair relative to the official position. He also persuaded Yu Shanfang to go with him to the newly opened Cao Yunya Office. The new friends joined forces, the latter made money cleanly, and the former was promoted smoothly.

As a result, Yu Shanfang was reluctant to take office, and as a result, Guan Yiran, a **** who talked like a fart, turned his head and ran to become a supervisor of the Dadu.

Now, as one of the transport supervisors, Yu Shanfang's most important responsibility is the long north-south Long Road of Aquarius Island.

As for the Hou family of the old Dragon City, who had been involved in the Dragon Road business earlier, they once occupied half of the route. After the intervention of the Dali court, the Hou family could only obediently retreat behind the scenes and eat some leftovers.

The current Yamen of the General Administration of Supervision and Transportation of Dali is located on the bank of Jidu, not in Luojing, the capital of Dali, and is a close neighbor to the Houshuifu of Changchun.

The chief officer known as "Cao Shuai" has been promoted from the third rank to the second rank, and the two auxiliary officers have also been promoted to the third rank. As a rule, the governor of Cao Yun is not subject to the restraint of the ministry and is directly responsible to the emperor, and can be discounted. play.

In the past 20 years, Yushanfang, which has a prosperous official business, has a good start. It was the first veteran who entered the yamen at the beginning of its establishment. In addition, the earliest 30 mountain routes were reduced to 17 because the Dali Dynasty returned to the north of Dadu, and the Song Dynasty abolished some of the transportation supervisors and related assistants, mostly Gao Sheng or Ping Tiao transferred to the local area. In the prefecture and county, among the remaining transport supervisors, there is Yu Shanfang. From the fourth rank, the key is the Long Road under his full jurisdiction. Since the northern end is located in the Shushui Kingdom in the middle of a continent, it is the only route extending to The main waterway in the southern boundary of Aquarius Island, so even the fool can see that the authority in the hands of Yu Duyun is definitely not limited to the matter of taking the Dragon Road to supervise the transport. The countries and immortals along the river will return the entire treasure at the Dali court. After the mountains and rivers in the south of Pingzhou, the Dali court still regards itself as a vassal state. It is estimated that some of the credit must be attributed to Yu Shanfang. As for the extent of the credit, it only needs to see Yu Shanfang transferred to another place in the future. The height is low, it will be clear.

Xiahou Zan seemed to finally see the out-of-door acquaintance who had been mute in the same place, and smiled, "Uncle Bai, who is this?"

Uncle Bai said in a deep voice, "Old! What are you still doing?"

Chen Jiu immediately clasped his fists and said, "Zhuzhi Sect's outer sect knows that the guest is old and has seen Xiahou Jianxian."

Xiahou Zan was silent for a moment, then nodded with a smile, "It's a pleasure to meet you, I have long admired your name."

The old movements were stiff, and he kept holding the fist-clasping gesture for a long time before saying, "It's an honor and an honor to finally meet Xiahou Jianxian."

Xiahou Zan smiled and said nothing.

Liang Yuping twitched the corners of his mouth.

It's really dog ​​meat can't get on the table.

What did Bai Ni think, that he was willing to help this kind of rubbish, Xiahou Zan could see it, and it was strange.

A vassal sect of Zhengyang Mountain, the outer sect knows guests only, and is responsible for ushering and sending them. It does not involve the confidential matters of the Zhuzhi sect, and even has no access to the account books of the outer sect and Caiyushan. Moreover, as a know-how, every expenditure needs to be recorded in detail, reported to the accountant, and it is possible to give out money. If you want to become an acquaintance of the Eight Classics Xianfu sect, you must have a clean background and be well-documented. After all, the customs issued by the Dali Dynasty are not so easy to fake, not to mention the cost of cheating is too high. Once found, you need to face That's right, it's not the Qingling Kingdom's court, but the cultivator directly under the single line of the Dali Punishment Department.

In front of him, Xiahou Jianxian, who is not angry and arrogant, is the genius brother who is in charge of the espionage of Zhengyang Mountain.

Before they were seated, Xiahou Zan and Uncle Bai humbly declined, and Liang Yuping smiled and persuaded them to sit down.

Uncle Bai really drank three glasses of fine wine first, and then brought Old Jiu together to toast Xiahou Young Master. When Ji Jiu was stupid, he sat back to his seat after drinking, and there was no movement. Uncle Bai gave this out-of-door acquaintance a wink. After realizing it, he got up to toast alone, Xia Hou Zan sat in his seat, took a sip of wine, reached out and pressed it twice, signaling the man opposite to sit down to eat.

When Xiahou Zan was drinking, he looked depressed, obviously in a bad mood.

On the peaks of Zhengyang Mountain, Jianxiu who was the same generation as Xiahou Zan, or who was about the same level, began to speak rude words.

It's all my fault that I didn't choose a good name, Zan, three jade and two stones. Since the jade is mixed with each other, it is not pure jade.

When the plate of "silver" was brought to the table, Xia Houzan was not in a good mood, so he just put a chopstick of drunken shrimp for Liang Yuping next to him.

The nun was flattered and smiled.

Chen Jiu wanted to pick up a pair of chopsticks to taste the drunken shrimp, but he was immediately stunned by Uncle Bai, so he had to transfer the chopsticks angrily and caught a wild brook miscellaneous fish.

After the questioning sword, a series of earth-shaking changes occurred in the peaks of Zhengyang Mountain.

Xia Yuancui, the most senior patriarch of the Full Moon Peak, as a Jade Pure Realm Sword Immortal, not to mention the palm law, also occupies two peaks that have been idle for many years.

Tao Yanbo's Qiuling Mountain has been closed, Yuan Ying Lao Jianxian voluntarily resigned from all sect positions, and the sect master Zhu Huang ordered Tao Yanbo to think about it behind closed doors.

The identity of Yan Chu of Shuilongfeng has changed from the patriarch of the law to the top of the treasure house of Zhengyang Mountain.

Leng Qi, the master of Qiongzhi Peak, declared that he was in seclusion, and his disciple Liu Yu took over the affairs. The master of Yujiao Peak, Yu Zi, this young Jindan Sword Immortal, although he made a big mistake in the accident, he did not become decadent. , I only say that Zhengyang Mountain has erected a monument on the border. After several twists and turns, now there is even a group of young swordsmen, nearly ten people, who are cultivating here. They come from Wufeng. It is said that they formed a small hill in private. , a total of more than 20 people, all of them are relatively young geniuses in Zhufeng, among them Yu Jin, who is one of the backbones.

Sect Master Zhu Huang and Zu Shitang didn't say anything about it. Zhu Huang just asked those young people to remind the young people in private that they were not allowed to damage the stele. .

In fact, Shuilongfeng was not damaged much in this accident, and it was even the only mountain that benefited from misfortune, and the status of the sect was slightly elevated.

Only Xiahou Zan, the proud disciple of the Shuilongfeng Yan Lao Jianxian, was the most frustrated.

Liang Yuping started arranging a few vassals of Zhengyang Mountain, and said a few words about her own sect, especially how those junior sisters admired Shuilongfeng in the Jizu Mountain lineage where she was located.

Xiahou Zan nodded and smiled and said, "Your Bamboo Branch faction has always been friends with our Zhengyang Mountain from generation to generation. Whenever Master mentions Jizu Mountain, he is always full of praise and kind words."

Liang Yuping glanced at Uncle Bai sideways.

The Yushan Bamboo Branch School is one of the many vassal schools in Zhengyang Mountain. In fact, when it was at its peak, there were as many as a dozen such "downhill" or vassal schools in Zhengyang Mountain, but today is different from the past, half of which are nominally Although the vassal sects have not officially separated from their vassal status for the time being, they used to rush to the Zushan "Dianmao" in Zhengyang Mountain on time every time they gathered together by a talisman boat or a private ferry. Send a subordinate to show his face and come here to do business.

And Xiahou Zan, the direct disciple of the Water Dragon Peak ancestor, the dignified Dragon Gate Sword Cultivator, is now only in charge of the "collection" of the three vassal sects north of Zhengyang Mountain.

Among them, there is the Bamboo Branch School. In fact, where does he need to urge him, and it is not the "enclave" hilltop that is far away from the emperor. This Jade Mountain is only a few steps away from Zhengyang Mountain?

Therefore, people with discerning eyes know that Xiahou Zan is regarded as an abandoned child by Zhengyang Mountain and Shuilongfeng, which means that he has been demoted again and again, and he has been completely on the bench.

Speaking from conscience, Xiahou Zan, who is a Longmen Realm cultivator, did not slack off or take it lightly when it came to collecting espionage. To be honest, I don't have any personal pockets, and I don't have any greed for money. He just wanted to take credit. Fortunately, there is a place in the Zushan Zushi Hall, which became a sect. Even if the realm is not enough and the etiquette is not suitable, what about the next sect in the future?

Therefore, Xiahou Zan, who used to almost never drink alcohol, now drinks booze whenever he gets a chance.

Otherwise, as Bai Ni, would you have to move him Xiahou Zan?

Could it be that the "silver" that is less than half the length of chopsticks is just based on the dragon road?

Guo Huifeng, the head of the Bamboo Branch Sect, personally invited him to drink.

But the other people don't have back pain when they stand and talk. Now there are a lot of gossips in Zhengyang Mountain. Although the master and his old man are on the side of the angry sect master, they managed to keep their status as the direct descendant of Shuilong Peak, but they can only make him highly valued. The proud disciple went out to avoid the limelight. How could outsiders know about his difficulties in Xiahou Zan? To collect espionage, he had to bypass the Dali court and the Longzhou government. He also needed to avoid the Beiyue Piyun Mountain, which was as good as Luopao Mountain in wearing a pair of trousers. As for Liu Xianyang, how would he investigate? They all went to Nanbo Suozhou Chunru Chen to study abroad, and that Longquan Sword Sect, the entire sect, there are only a few people, how to let him infiltrate, how to secretly arrange people? Otherwise, even if it is replaced by Shengao Sect, Yunlin Jiang Sect, such a behemoth, it will not be so difficult.

Yuzuo Peak of Yujiao and Liuyu of Qiongzhi Peak had both practiced swordsmanship in Longquan Jianzong, but Xiahou Zan could never ask any useful information, especially that Yuqin, before and after he became the peak master, used to be honored as Xiahou Jianxian , and later called Daoyou Xiahou casually, it was like two different people.

Therefore, Xiahou Zan can only be a mute and eat Huanglian. Listen to the master, dormant for a few years, don't show your face, and look back for opportunities. At the Huangshan Sword Sect of Zhongyue Dijie, he will be assigned a position of real power.

Xiahou Zan's face was gloomy, and he lowered his head and took a sip of suffocating wine.

Hidden officer? Is it great?

If you really want to meet him, face to face, just like Lao Tzu's temper, he has to ask the sword with his surname Chen!

What if you lose, you can't lose your backbone.

I believe that the other party will never kill him alive.

The old-fashioned out-of-the-way acquaintance finally had the courage to say a fair word, "The big sect is like an officialdom, and it will inevitably be contaminated with some bad habits. It is always those who really do things seriously who suffer the most. Well, if you don't do it well, gossip will come flooding your head, openly and secretly, no matter where you can stop it, such as Xiahou Jianxian's situation, just flip through the history books, why is there less, I have to make a toast with Xiahou Jianxian here."

Uncle Bai was full of surprise, looking at the old man holding a toast in both hands, this kid finally got enlightened?

Xiahou Zan glanced sideways and nodded.

Never thought that he could speak.

It is no wonder that he can be an outsider on the side of Caiyu Mountain.

Xiahou Zan asked, "What's your name?"

The man hurriedly registered his account again, "Old, Er Dong Chen, old things are old."

It is estimated that his voice was low before, or Xiahou Zan didn't remember it, the nobles have forgotten things.

Xiahou Zan frowned slightly, and it was annoying to hear that his surname was Chen.

Chen Jiu seemed to be someone who was fairly good at observing words and expressions, so he immediately began to show his loyalty, "I have never had a good impression of that person surnamed Chen in Luopo Mountain, since I heard that there is such a number one person. Full of old fists to him!"

Xiahou Zan's face lost a bit of disgust, and the numbness was a little numb, but after all, it was a pleasant word.

He narrowed his eyes and asked, "Chen Zhike, you and the mountain master have no relationship and no grievance, why are you so disgusted with this person?"

Xiahou Zan grabbed a river dragon and chewed it slowly, "Don't rush to answer, just think about it. You can drink alcohol indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense."

The atmosphere of the wine table suddenly became solemn.

Liang Yuping gloated a little.

Uncle Bai began to worry and was worried. You are an out-of-the-way acquaintance, so how can you be flattering like this? Gallbladder?

The old covenant is not because of the courage of the wine, and without stage fright, he said: "I have read a travel journal of landscapes, and it is the one that wrote about it.

Dude, the encounters are endless, unsightly! He is full of benevolence, righteousness and morality. He seems to be a chivalrous person who slays demons and slays demons all the way. In fact, he treats others leniently and leniently at a critical moment. He who refuses to suffer any loss is just a sanctimonious hypocrite. Beauty, money, luck, prestige, It was all cheap for him. Yan ghosts, fox charms, talisman beauties, cuddling red and green, Yingying and Yanyan are never lacking. Anyway, whenever something happens, there are beauties who will save them and tide over the difficulties. How can there be a little bit of such a rich and powdery journey through the rivers and lakes? Dangerous at all, just leave me alone! "

Stale drank another glass of wine and snorted again, "A person who only likes to reason all the time, and a person who never likes to reason, there is only one thing in common, that is good luck! Nothing really matters.”

Bai Bo was speechless for a moment.

Are you old-fashioned and dislike that young hidden official, or are you just envious of his constant encounters?

Xiahou Zan has a lot of information. He is a superficial person, but he speaks and does things decently. There are only two kinds of foreigners who pay out of their own pockets to pay money. One is that there is so much money in their pocket that they have nowhere to spend it, and the other is willing to spend a small amount of money today to earn a lot of money tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. As for a Qi practitioner from a foreign country who has been exiled to the Zhuzhi Sect, how could he have such a rich family background, no surprise, just thinking about climbing up a relationship with the Zhuzhi Sect, such as Jindan Guo Huifeng, and returning home in good clothes in the coming year.

Xiahou Zan's self-confessed vision of seeing people is still very accurate. The other party's humbleness to try not to let flattery appear too blatantly comes out of his bones, and he can't pretend.

Knowing that this drink was paid for by the old, Xia Houzan rarely took the initiative to toast.

After putting down the wine glass, Xiahou Zan asked with a smile: "Chen Zhike, I heard that you are from Huanghuachuan in the south. You are not a small sect, and it is a stable third-rate immortal mansion in Treasure Vase. , After all these years, there has never been a pillar to prop up the old portal again, but I really care, compared with the Zhuzhi faction, your Huanghuachuan is only large in scale, and its background is only deep and not shallow. Do you feel shabby? By the way, I heard that there are several scenic spots in Huanghuachuan. Among them, Xuantong Mountain and Panzhi Mountain are facing each other. They are not high. They are all plum trees. When the flowers bloom, they are as white as snow. There is a Yuanyuan Temple, and it is said that there is a long scroll in the temple, what is it called?"

Liang Yuping's face changed slightly.

In the previous conversation, Xiahou Zan seemed to have never even heard of this person's name, but he knew that this person was from Huanghuachuan in the south, and he was even more familiar with the customs there.

Chen Jiu was stunned for a while, and seemed to say cautiously: "I just heard Master occasionally mention that at the foot of the Xuantong Mountain, in the Yuanyuan Lecture Temple, there is indeed a collection of "Ten Thousand Plum Blossoms Outside a Futon", but it is generally not easy to take out. For outsiders to see, the master still has a good relationship with the abbot, and I only saw it once. Afterwards, the master and a few of us leaked, saying that this long scroll was not well-kept, but unfortunately, there are many black spots on it, and many of the poems and texts are unrecognizable. Qing. As for the vicinity of Panchi Mountain, the plum blossoms in the past really bloomed like... a large article, but in the early years, the local people in the local villages cut down a lot of plum trees because the planting of plums was so thin that the orchids could not be sold as potted plants. , the so-called plum blossoms like snow is a bit unreal, and literati and pranksters like to go to other places to appreciate plums."

"Blooming flowers is like a large piece of article, um, it sounds a bit more remote than Yi Bai Ruxue, Chen Zhike, you have a good conversation."

Xiahou Zan nodded, stretched out his chopsticks to pick up the drunken shrimp, and turned his head to ask, "Uncle Bai, what is the monthly salary of the Bamboo Branch School's outer sect guest now?"

Quickly reported a number, six snows to spend.

There will be dividends at the end of the year, but it depends on the market.

The pair of chopsticks in Xiahou Zan's hand paused for a moment, nodded, and said only three words, which is not too small.

Then nothing was said.

Uncle Bai had already understood it, not too much, but not too much.

Gotta give the stale a raise.

This wine, stale, really didn't "please" in vain.

At the foot of the Yushan Mountain, the Yexi River merges into a large river. In the wide river, the official ships of the Qingling Kingdom are chaotic.

Many precious utensils carefully crafted by craftsmen on the mountain of Zhuzhipai "flowed" into the home of a country's honorable generals and ministers through this river.

Apricot trees are planted on both sides of the strait, and the trees are full of apricot flowers, and the wind blows like snow.

Wind and rain, apricot flowers and snow, the north and south waters beat the sky.

At night, a nun stood under the apricot tree.

I don't know why, when the flowers are falling, they are all frowning.

Bai Ni came here alone and said, "Sect Master, Xiahou Zan seems to be rambunctious, but in fact he is extremely cautious, and there is no useful sentence at all on the wine table."

Guo Huifeng nodded and said, "If you can't control your mouth, how can you manage the information on Zhengyang Mountain."

Bai Ni said softly, "The two-hundred-year lease term signed by the Qingling Kingdom's court is about to expire. This Xiahou Zan, who is in charge of debt collection affairs with our sects at this time, can come here regularly. Wandering around the Jade Mountain, could it be the meaning of Zhengyang Mountain Patriarch Hall or Water Dragon Peak?"

Guo Huifeng sighed quietly, "Even if there is no secret advice from Sect Master Zhu or Yan Jianxian, I am afraid that Xiahou Zan himself has the idea of ​​making up for the fault."

It was in her hands last time. Regarding the Caiyu Mountain, the Zhuzhi faction and Qinglingguo renewed a two-hundred-year lease contract. This time, the Zhuzhi faction may find it difficult to keep the ancestral family business of this jade mountain.

Bai Ni said: "In the contract, it is written clearly in black and white, and our Zhuzhi faction can give priority to renewing the contract, and even if there are other immortals who want to buy the Jade Mountain, the Zhuzhi faction can also bid with them, and the one with the higher price wins."

Guo Huifeng smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid that the tree wants to be quiet and the wind won't stop."

Bai Ni didn't know the twists and turns in it. On the side of Shishuzu, he deliberately said some light words.

Now that the deadline is up, the Zhuzhi faction has no legitimate reason to occupy the Jade Mountain. If Qinglingguo wants to resell it to another home, such as Zhengyang Mountain, it will be difficult for the Zhuzhi faction to compete with the Zhengyang Mountain.

Even if Zhengyang Mountain is willing to bid, the Zhuzhi faction dares to bid?

It's no wonder that the Qingling Kingdom's court came to an imperial consecration not long ago. Those who hide their heads and hide their tails did not dare to let Zhengyang Mountain know where they were. They just found Guo Huifeng in private and said some words around the corner, basically implying that Guo Huifeng, our emperor Your Majesty's side is actually very willing to renew the contract with the Zhuzhi faction, and the price is easy to negotiate.

Apparently, he was worried that the Bamboo Branch Pie would not even be able to offer a price, so it was picked up by Zhengyang Mountain at a very low price.

Therefore, for the Qingling Kingdom and the Bamboo Branch School, the ownership of a Jade Mountain in the next few hundred years is an extremely delicate and complicated situation.

It is only said that the emperor of Qingling Kingdom did not dare to provoke Zhengyang Mountain, nor did he want to give away a jade mountain for nothing. They wanted Zhuzhipai and Guo Huifeng to bid as much as possible, but they didn't want to annoy Zhengyangshan.

As for Guo Huifeng, if he made up his mind not to compete for Yushan, then he would simply not make a bid. Of course, Zhengyangshan would be happy to see it succeed, but he would have a bad relationship with the Qingling Kingdom court.

Either she didn't care about the faces on both sides of Zhengyang Mountain and Qingling Country, she directly asked Bai Ni to replace his master, who was the sect God of Wealth, and bid all the way to thirty grain rain money, no matter what Zhengyang Mountain offered, it would be successful. , if it doesn't work, it won't work.

But once the largest source of wealth is given away, the Zhuzhi faction will

Is it really going to become the descent of Zhengyang Mountain step by step?

Guo Huifeng would never be reconciled to this.

If it wasn't for the geographical location of her sect, Guo Huifeng didn't want to have anything to do with Zhengyang Mountain at all. This was the case before she took over as the head of the sect. She had either seen or heard too much about Zhengyang with her own eyes. The unseen act of the mountain.

Bai Ni hesitated for a few times, but still summoned up his courage to suggest: "Sect Master, if you really want to keep your ancestral property, and you won't be hated by Zhengyang Mountain, can we have a relationship with... the mountain to the north, that young Yin Yin? official……"

In the end, the old man probably thought it was absurd, so he couldn't go on.

Guo Huifeng couldn't help laughing, but she couldn't help laughing, she was obviously amused by the whimsical idea of ​​"Uncle Bai", "Uncle Bai, who do you think I am, a monk in the upper five realms, or Li? A native of Zhudongtian cultivator? Do you think that if I go there, I can meet that person? Take ten thousand steps back and say, without closing the door, can we negotiate with that person after meeting with that person?"

"Uncle Bai, do you think they are the ones who founded the Shantang?"

Because of his appearance "showing old age", even Guo Huifeng, whose realm and age are far higher than this Bai Ni, will shout "Bai Bo" with humor.

From this, it can be seen that the style of the Zhuzhi School is not so strict, and everything is only the cultivator's realm.

"Right."

Bai Ni nodded, remembering what the acquaintance said at the wine table earlier, "Besides, according to the widely circulated landscape travel notes in the early years, when Shanzhu Chen was young, he was a lover who liked to mess around with flowers. ."

If this is the case, if one is not careful, wouldn't the Sect Master throw himself into the trap? But don't beat the dog with meat buns...

The content of the book of travel notes, I would rather believe it or not.

Put yourself in the shoes, they are all men, people are not romantic, they are young, and there are a few confidantes.

Guo Huifeng was full of doubts, and asked curiously, "What landscape travel notes? The content is related to that Chen Yinguan? Can this kind of book be printed and sold?"

Bai Ni blushed, "It's nothing, it's just a miscellaneous book made up by someone who doesn't know who it is.

In the river, on an official boat, two old sword immortals, who were from the same family, but differed by one generation, gathered here in secret.

Hanging the curtain is a layer of landscape prohibition to prevent the partition wall from having ears.

There are two peak masters of Zhengyang Mountain, Xia Yuancui of Full Moon Peak and Yan Chu of Shuilong Peak.

"Yan Chu, haven't you spoken to Xiahou Zan?"

"Ancestor Xia, my apprentice has enough intelligence and a strict mouth, but his biggest weakness is that he is not cruel enough to do things. It is not without reason that he has not been able to enter the Golden Core yet. He will definitely help with such secrets. If he's not busy, he won't let him get involved, so as not to cause trouble, after all, Emperor Zhu is not stupid, it would be bad if he noticed the clues."

Xia Yuancui squinted and looked at the Jade Mountain in the distance, "It's just a jade vein that has been mined for hundreds of years. The geographer of Qingling Kingdom's Qin Tianjian estimated the value of the reserves not long ago, and it's worth more than a hundred grain rain coins. , and it is time-consuming and labor-intensive. In fact, it is nothing to give it to Guo Huifeng. Anyway, we have a large share of the account every year in Zhengyang Mountain, which is regarded as the salary of hiring people to dig the mountain. The key is that this Guo Huifeng is too stubborn and does not know In general, I always want to draw a clear line with Zhengyang Mountain. I just used her to kill the chicken and show the monkeys. Through this opportunity, Guo Huifeng will be ruined, and then the Jizu Mountain will be supported. The Zhuzhi faction must sign with our Zhengyang Mountain. Contract. The rest of the vassal sects are nothing but grass, as long as you see the miserable situation of Guo Huifeng, you will naturally be honest."

"How to force her and Zhu Huang to completely tear their faces off?"

"I have a plan of my own, just wait and watch the fun."

"Ancestor Xia, on the Yujiao Peak, can Yupurine be reliable?"

"I promised to let him also serve as the patriarch of the Xiashan Huangzhujian Sect after I have done it. Yupur has no reason not to agree."

"I always feel that this kid is a white-eyed wolf, born with a back bone."

"Is there a backlash? Not very good. After the dust settles, where can he turn back."

Having said that, Xia Yuancui looked at Yan Chu with a smile, "Are you going to oppose the Emperor Zhu first and then me? Just rely on him as a Jindan sword cultivator?"

Yan Chu heard the meaning of the old patriarch, and was slightly embarrassed, "Patriarch Xia has overestimated me, how can I be the suzerain, and I have no such ambition and strength. A few taels, very clear. In the future, I will be able to serve as the master of the sect and also serve as the mountain master going down the mountain, and I will already be satisfied."

"Yu Zi is a smart person, and I can tell you at all. I didn't say anything at all. If he rushes to the Zhu Emperor's side to frame my ancestor and want to usurp the throne, I admire the courage and courage of this kid."

Xia Yuancui suddenly squinted and smiled and said, "Yan Chu, if you can enter the sect after going down the mountain, you must step down as the master of the sect."

When Yan Chu saw that Xia Yuancui didn't seem to be joking, the old Yuan Ying's eyes were hot in an instant, and he said decisively: "No problem!"

What about the next sect master, he is also a genuine sect master!

In the three thousand years of Aquarius, there are only a few sects, and how many people have served as the suzerain?

Previously, Xia Yuancui was in a discussion at the Patriarch's Hall and suddenly suggested to the various peak swordsmen of Zhengyang Mountain, regardless of men, women or children, regardless of realm or origin, as long as they wanted, they could rush to the wild world to make meritorious deeds, use swords to kill demons, and He, Xia Yuancui and Man Yuefeng, can lead the team and travel across the world by ferry through a passage to the ruins.

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the hall, and many old Jianxiu who were used to leaving the stage halfway through the discussion immediately gave this old patriarch who had been in seclusion for many years a high glance.

But the Sect Master Zhu Huang only said that this matter is important and needs to be considered in the long run.

Soon Bamboo Emperor came to the full moon peak and complained about why the uncle did not say hello in advance and went his own way.

Xia Yuancui said that he was only traveling far to practice, and he would not rush to the battlefield seriously. Even if he wanted to fight the demon clan, he would make arrangements early, so that he would be able to reverse the perception of Aquarius Island towards our Zhengyang Mountain. The Bamboo Emperor was silent, and when he left, he was very depressed.

Nowadays, the peaks of Zhengyang Mountain, especially those young monks with strong vigor, are extremely dissatisfied with the Sect Master Bamboo Emperor. In particular, the agreement with Luopao Mountain to erect a monument on the boundary is regarded as a humiliation that has not been seen in Zhengyang Mountain for thousands of years.

Coupled with the fact that Zhengyang Mountain tried to establish the next sect, it was no longer a matter of fact. The sudden departure of Cao Ping, the patrolling envoy, made it clear that the Dali court chose to favor Luopao Mountain.

Name, Zhengyang Mountain has become the laughing stock of a continent. It should have been a brand-new kendo sect in Aquarius, but the young sword cultivators have no face to go down the mountain to go out to practice.

Luckily, the bamboo basket was empty, and the original hope of having two sects in one mountain became a bubble, and the many benefits and benefits of having one sect became a fantasy.

To put it simply, it was the Bamboo Emperor who changed from a mountain master to a sect master, and his personal prestige dropped to the bottom.

If there is only one sword cultivator, the Bamboo Emperor, in Zhengyang Mountain, who is in the upper five realms, in fact, no matter what, it will not be able to shake the position of the suzerain of the Bamboo Emperor.

However, Xia Yuancui, the uncle of the Bamboo Emperor, coincidentally, is also a Sword Immortal in the Jade Pure Realm.

"Master Xia, what did Tao Yanbo say?"

"Naturally, I have a grudge against my nephew, not to mention the fact that the mountain was closed, and I was forced to retreat and think about it, and everyone felt that it was a great shame. Besides, Tao Yanbo knew that if he still wanted to be with that nephew. When the surnamed Chen found his way back, as long as the Emperor Bamboo was the owner of the mountain for one day, it would be a fool's dream, and he had to change the dynasty. Otherwise, if the mountain was closed for 60 years, there would be no way to get any sword repair embryos. The top of the girl's mountain is a lesson from the past."

Yan Chu nodded, Tao Yanbo really had a reason to jump over the wall.

It has its own Water Dragon Peak, plus the Full Moon Peak of the ancestor of the Jade Pure Realm, and Tao Yanbo's Qiuling Mountain, so it is not necessary to mention the other peaks, the Bamboo Emperor is in Zhengyang Mountain, except for his From his family's ancestral mountain line, Bamboo Emperor is almost a veritable loner.

Xia Yuancui said with a smile: "To be honest, if I were in the position of Emperor Bamboo, as the sect master, facing the aggressive and well-prepared viewing ceremony, I'm afraid I wouldn't be much better than him."

Shaking her head, Xia Yuancui tutted, "I can only blame my nephew for his bad life. I, the uncle, have no choice but to share his worries for him."

When the Bamboo Emperor was in the Nascent Soul Realm, he met Li Tuanjing from Fenglei Garden, and not long after he entered the Jade Pure Realm, he met the two young people again.

Yan Chu raised his glass, "Here I wish Old Ancestor Xia to change his seat!"

Xia Yuancui also raised his glass and smiled lightly: "It's easy to say."

Yan Chu suddenly slapped himself lightly, "Actually, it's time to call Sect Master Xia now."

Xia Yuancui burst out laughing, and each drank it.

Bamboo Branch Pai Jizu Mountain, in an unremarkable elegant mansion, an elderly female revisionist was entertaining a famous guest.

She is the peak master of Jizu Mountain, Liang Yuping's master, and the current patriarch of Zhuzhi Sect.

And the guest is the Bamboo Emperor.

In the Zhuzhi Sect, after Guo Huifeng took over, it gradually divided into two veins: Ciaoyu Mountain and Jizu Mountain. It is not easy to say that the two sides are in the same situation, but there are also undercurrents. In fact, the most fundamental difference lies in the relationship between the two Yangshan drifted further and further away, and finally broke away from the subordinate status, or simply took refuge in Zhengyangshan.

The Bamboo Emperor was playing with a bamboo-yellow paper knife refined on the mountain.

The scholarly family at the foot of the mountain is mostly used to cut rice paper, and this one in the hands of the Emperor Bamboo can also cut gold and stone.

The Bamboo Emperor put the paper cutter back into the guqin-shaped wooden box, handed it to the female nun, and said with a smile, "I'll send it to you."

She took the knife.

After a little thought, she knew what it meant, and asked her to help.

He killed with a knife.

Emperor Zhu smiled, "Don't think too much, gifts are just gifts, you don't have to do anything extra, otherwise it will only do bad things. Besides, you finally have a place to stay, and Guo Huifeng is still a senior sister, why bother Cannibalism. I hope you can help Guo Huifeng when the time comes, so that this farce will not end up too far. That person is much smarter than you, and of course, much smarter than me. "

She was greatly surprised. After confirming that he was not joking, she asked in a heartfelt voice, "How does the sect master determine that he must be hiding somewhere now, and he must be minding this business?"

"intuition."

"If, I mean in case, that person deliberately stands by, what will the Sect Master do?"

The Bamboo Emperor said indifferently: "As long as Xia Yuancui is dead, what kind of storms can Yan Chu and Tao Yanbo, who have no hope of going to the five realms in this life, create a storm."

One of them was that Emperor Bamboo didn't tell the female cultivator. It was under his instigation that Qiu Lingshan Tao Yanbo took the initiative to collude with the uncle.

On the other hand, Yu Jin from Yujiao Peak was much smarter than Emperor Bamboo imagined, and dared to take the initiative to expose his uncle's treason and usurpation.

By the wild creek, the out-of-the-way acquaintance named Chen Jiu started fishing.

Bai Ni said goodbye to the sect master and went back to the scattered flower beach alone. He found that the old guy knew how to take a break. He was squatting beside an apricot tree, with his arms wrapped around his sleeves, and stomping his feet gently. After drinking a pot of wine, he took the sheep with him and stared at the water.

The old man paced to the stream and said with a smile, "Don't forget two pots of turpentine wine."

Stale raised his head, "What?"

Uncle Bai sat on the side and didn't care about the kid's foolishness. He looked up at Xingshu and sighed for no reason: "Old, I just entered the Zhuzhi School back then, and I remember the first time I followed my master to this Jade Mountain. Walking all the way, I felt that the river was full of apricot blossoms, and it looked good, but I thought of a proverb from my hometown, and I always felt that it was not a good taste. If it was taboo, I told Master directly, but Master told me that there is a saying at the bottom of the mountain, but there is a principle on the mountain, and this principle is not only not bad, but has a very good meaning."

Bai Bo asked with a smile, "Do you know what this sentence means on the mountain?"

The man shook his head, "Uncle Bai, how can you guess?"

Uncle Bai nodded, "I told Master the same way back then."

Chen Ping'an smiled and said, "Is there an answer later?"

Uncle Bai changed completely, clasped the back of his head with both hands, and said lazily: "I just read an allusion by chance. According to legend, there is a real person with white bones who is far away and independent. He once slept under a plum tree for a long time and finally realized the truth. The road to immortality."

Chen Ping'an looked ahead, smiled and said, "Is Director Lu just so idle?"

The old man beside him was clearly possessed by Lu Chen using a secret method.

Lu Chen quickly put his finger to his mouth, "Don't say anything, we can talk a little more!"

"Dare to ask Headmaster Lu, how did you find me?"

"Try your luck!"

"Don't talk about it, I believe Li Sheng will come here soon, remember to go to Gongdelin, and help to see how Liu Cha's fishing skills are now."

Lu Chen said helplessly: "The reason why Pindao came to Haoran secretly is that he couldn't help but want to ask, so that I can confirm with you, whether there is time in the world, whether it is composed of countless fixed stills."

"When you go out, you can't treat people with sincerity?"

"Okay, I'm afraid of you, Chen Ping'an, you and I have a thorough understanding, the two of us opened the skylight and said something bright, did you imprison a certain fake of me?"

"Yes."
