Chapter 72 Revisiting Qingcheng Mountain
At this point, everyone finally finished the assassination, packed up again, and headed off.
Many Yongzhou officials were originally waiting outside Hengshui City. Although they did not wait for Xu Fengnian, Xu Fengnian himself came to the door. Naturally, they were treated with courtesy. Xu Zongjia did not dare to be interested. He just arrived with Li Chungang and others who had prepared in advance.
He rested in the house and did not want to see these common people.
The group of people also rested in Hengshui City for a few days. During this period, Xu Fengnian used a knife to draw every day, drawing on the ground that he saw those clouds, talismans, and seals on the talisman. This also fully illustrates Xu Fengnian's memory.
Excellent, almost unforgettable.
Of course, Xu Fengnian did this not because he wanted to change his career to become a Taoist priest, but because he discovered from Li Chungang's swordsmanship that his own swordsmanship was really rough. In order to prioritize and control freely, he deliberately practiced swordsmanship like this, hoping that
As soon as you can reach the point where you can move the knife at will, it would be best if you no longer have any thoughts of priorities.
During this period, Jiang Ni finally came up with the idea to secretly learn the cloud talisman painted by Xu Fengnian. However, Xu Fengnian thought that it was because of Jiang Ni that he was able to see the sword armor take action, so he did not reveal it. It was just the cloud talisman on the armor.
Even if you learn Lu, it will be of little use. After all, Jiang Ni doesn't know any internal skills.
Xu Fengnian even used a sword as a sword to imitate Li Chungang's sword style, especially the one-sword Immortal Kneeling. Unfortunately, it was almost impossible, leaving only a few holes in the ground, and he gave up in disappointment.
When Jiang Ni saw Xu Fengnian secretly learning sword moves so shamelessly, her sense of justice was overwhelming. She transformed into a heroine in the world and ridiculed Xu Fengnian.
"Shameless, stealing lessons!"
Xu Fengnian ignored this little maid. After all, the other party also secretly imitated the cloud patterns she drew. I really don't know how she had the face to accuse him. After all, the two of them were just laughing at the same time.
When the two of them left the yard, fighting and noisy, Li Chungang appeared on the spot. Looking at the hole left by Xu Fengnian's last stab on the ground, he couldn't help but feel pity for his talent.
"If you learn swordsmanship well, why should you learn to practice swordsmanship like that of a rough man? It's a waste of your bones!"
Li Chungang even came up with the idea of finding some opportunities to give Xu Fengnian some advice in the future. It would be best if he gave up the idea of practicing swordsmanship and gave up swordsmanship practice as soon as possible.
Qingcheng Mountain has sixty-four peaks, large and small, and the peaks surround it like a city. The ancient trees are green all year round, and it is full of greenery, so it is named Qingcheng.
There are three wonderful scenic spots in Yongzhou. The easternmost one is the "Westward Sword Pavilion", which is said to have been struck by a sword from the east. It is the most dangerous. The southern one is said to have a saint riding an ox and Kuimen Pass, which is unparalleled in majesty.
Then there is this famous Taoist mountain blessed place where a King of Qingcheng was born. It was originally a cave on the Nine Dou Rice Road. The owner of the Qingyang Palace who was given the title of King of Qingcheng by the old emperor was actually a Taoist priest from the Longhu Zhengyi Sect.
, it can be regarded as a dove occupying a magpie's nest, holding the fragrance
All the famous Nine Dou Rice Roads were driven away, leaving only one Qingyang Palace to take the lead. Therefore, the popularity of the green and stretching Qingcheng Mountain has dropped sharply every year, and it is much deserted compared to other famous mountains. It is really inconsistent with the famous name of Qingcheng Mountain.
Misfortunes never come singly because there are fewer visitors, but there are more grass bandits who have taken over the mountains as kings. A group of stragglers are wandering around, and they are kings together with the King of Qingcheng. It is very troublesome for the government to kill them, but there are old people in the mountains who pay a lot of money.
Orions who are willing to take risks and lead the way often come up empty-handed. After several twists and turns, the county guard sees the Qingyang Palace.
The master didn't appreciate it, so he even slapped him and said that the government office was causing trouble and making endless noises on this clean land. When he was angry, he was even more unwilling to waste money and people, unless the dignitaries who were full and came to Qingcheng Mountain to explore the scenery were unfortunately robbed.
Only under pressure did they send troops into the mountains, and they ignored the ordinary people who were in danger.
Qingcheng Mountain is already famous for its foggy conditions, and the twilight becomes particularly heavy within half an hour of entering the mountain. When Xu Fengnian traveled around the world, he had heard about the reputation of the fifth cave in Qingcheng Mountain, so he and Lao Huang had been here before. It was a pity that just now, When they arrived here, they were stopped by a group of robbers. Before the bandits revealed their names, Xu Fengnian rode half a mountain on a bay red horse. Lao Huang was followed by the sword box and ran half a mountain. Xu Fengnian never noticed anything strange about Lao Huang. In the end, if Xu Fengnian hadn't been hung by a branch and stopped by the robbers, he might have been able to run the entire mountain.
Fortunately, the group of robbers also knew the current affairs. They only took one hundred taels of silver notes from Xu Fengnian's net worth. They did not dare to touch other items such as secret books and did not hurt anyone. But how did they know that Xu Fengnian was a shameless person? Like a guy with a thick city wall, not only did he not leave when he saw this, but he relied on the other party. He shamelessly scraped for food for half a month. In the end, the bandit leader was so angry that he kicked Xu Fengnian down Qingcheng Mountain.
Xu Fengnian was particularly sad to revisit the old place. He once again came to a dilapidated Taoist temple that he had visited before. Lu Qiantang hunted some game in the mountains, among which only pheasants were the most favorite of Xu Fengnian.
"This chicken grew up eating ginkgo fruits from the mountains. It is called ginkgo chicken. The meat is tender and tender, with the sweet aroma of ginkgo fruits, which makes people have endless aftertaste. You will know when you taste it, of course, provided that I don't eat it all!"
There is a clear spring behind the Taoist temple. Qingniao and Jiang Ni are packing game there. Qingniao even teaches Jiang Ni, who often burns food, how to control the heat. Xu Fengnian sits in the Taoist temple and meditates with his eyes closed, practicing Qigong. However, Li Chungang was lying on the highest step with his feet in the air, with a picked bluestone pillow under his head. Only Xu Zongjia put a cattail futon on the ground, which was not dusty, and just waited quietly for Xu Fengnian's praise. After the ginkgo chicken is ready, enjoy the delicious food.
When all the ginkgo chicken was roasted and just delivered, several people gathered around to taste the game.
There are hare, wild deer, and ginkgo chicken, each grilled with golden skin and shiny oil, making people mouth-watering, and the aroma of the meat is overflowing, making everyone who has not eaten for a long time move their index fingers, feeling that they can eat all the delicious food by themselves. .
As the leader of the team, Xu Fengnian naturally divided the Ginkgo Chicken into several points. The first ones were given to Li Chungang and Xu Zongjia. After all, these two people were different from the others. Then it was the turn of Xu Fengnian and the others, and finally they were Shu Sha and Lu Qiantang, everyone has no objection. After all, they have some understanding of their own status. This is the order of human society. Everyone has a scale in their heart. They have a clear understanding of their status and will not do anything. If you do something that goes beyond your status, you are asking for trouble.
