A team of more than ten people and horses came from afar and stopped outside a mansion in Heitu City. The leader of the group had a sunscreen gauze on his head, no hair, and even nine ring scars on his head, and his name was "Jingkong".
Although he looks like a monk, he is not a serious disciple of Buddhism. Instead, when he was seventeen or eighteen years old, he went to Thousand Buddhas Temple to steal incense oil money due to poverty. He was caught by the monks, imprisoned in Thousand Buddhas Cave and started a fight
, was forced to leave home.
Because of his good understanding, Jingkong secretly learned martial arts, escaped from Qianfo Temple in his thirties, and became the right-hand man of Huang Liansheng, the leader of the Shatuo tribe.
Huang Lian was promoted to the Shazhou prefect of Dayan by her ancestors. During the chaos in the world before Jiazi, she proclaimed herself king and became a warlord. However, she was destroyed in a short period of time. She fled into the sea of sha with her remaining tribe and became the Shatuo tribe in the land of Huawai. It is far away from Shatuo.
The prefecture is about a thousand miles away, and its land area is equivalent to that of a county in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. Its population is only about 80,000.
The Shatuo tribe is just a small country in a corner of the country. Even its basic survival resources have to rely on the escort bureaus in the pass for business. It also pays tribute every year and respects the Wei Dynasty as the suzerain state. For this reason, the Wei Dynasty does not take this small place seriously, but Huang Lian's ambitions rise.
Not too small.
Huang Liansheng had gone to Yun'an to study in the past by paying tribute, and had also visited various famous families in the Wei Dynasty as an envoy to a foreign state. He was regarded as a versatile scholar in both civil and military affairs.
After coming to power, he began to organize conquests outside the Shazhou Pass, annexing many small tribes, trying to inherit the legacy of his ancestors and divide the borders to become independent.
Because they were all fighting at the level of village chief and county magistrate, far away from the barren land of Shazhou, Da Wei did not have much time to pay attention to them; Huang Liansheng also knew what was interesting and never dared to show his disobedience to Da Wei.
But since the war between the North and the South, the situation has obviously changed.
When the Wei Dynasty and Beiliang fought, they would not be able to focus on the barren Shazhou. This was the best time to capture Shazhou and completely unify the Western Regions.
But the Wei Dynasty is still a Wei Dynasty after all. Even if they were defeated miserably in Beiliang this time, a small tribe with tens of thousands of people cannot provoke them. Even if Huang Liansheng can capture Shazhou, as long as the two countries cease war and the Wei Dynasty frees up, they will still have to be defeated.
Settle accounts after autumn.
For this reason, after the situation changed, Huang Liansheng immediately started to contact Beiliang, hoping to make distant contacts and attack closely, and Beiliang quickly responded to him.
Its general meaning is that as long as he has the ambition and ability to rule the roost in troubled times, there is nothing Beiliang can't do to help him, and they can even give him half of the Wuma tribe's territory so that he can take root.
The thousands of miles of grassland of the Wuma tribe is fertile land for the tribes in the West Sea. It can be used for grazing and is rich in fine war horses. As long as Beiliang is allowed to enter, it can still stand by its strength. Even if Huang Liansheng cannot establish a country, he can be as good as the four major tribes.
King Shatuo' is also a sure thing, which is much more promising than going to conquer Shazhou with poor supplies.
For this reason, as soon as Huang Liansheng received the news, he asked his confidant, Monk Jingkong, to rush thousands of miles with more than ten people to reach the various tribes in the West Sea.
The people responsible for contacting the Shatuo tribe were Li Xian, a close confidant of King Xiaozuo Xian, and Eunuch Xu, who came from Yanjing to support them. They were all old acquaintances of Ye Jingtang.
Li Xian was previously blackmailed by Ye Jingtang and had clues about Xue Huhua. In previous years, he was in charge of the palace's finances and was not considered a minister.
However, as the chief steward, Li Xian had to handle the prince's daily expenses. He had a close relationship with Prince Zuoxian since childhood. When the old King Zuoxian died unexpectedly, the civil and military generals under his command were not convinced by the young commander.
Prince Zuoxian naturally had no choice but to be nepotistic and promoted him as a confidant.
Eunuch Xu himself was one of the first three eunuchs to come to the Xihai tribes to pick up King Zuo Xian. Later, he and Hua Junchen resisted Ye Jingtang in Bishui Forest to steal the elixirs. This time Eunuch Yin was sent to plead guilty for dereliction of duty as a guard. He
Naturally, this teammate came with him.
Following the soldiers outside the palace gate, they quickly ran in with envelopes in hand, but after a while, footsteps came from behind the screen wall of the palace gate.
Monk Jingkong had lived outside the Shazhou Pass since he was a child and had never passed the customs. To the senior officials of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, he stood outside the door with a sense of humility as if he were meeting the envoys of the Chinese Empire. He even whispered to his subordinates not to look around.
, lest he be regarded as a barbarian from a foreign land.
When the footsteps came from behind the screen wall, Monk Jingkong looked up and saw a beardless eunuch walking out with a whisk in his arms, and next to him was a slightly wealthy scribe.
Monk Jingkong immediately stepped forward and bowed: "Foreign minister Jingkong, I pay my respects to the two adults of Daliang Shangguo..."
"Master Jingkong is free of charge."
Eunuch Xu stepped forward with a smile and bowed: "The situation in the West Sea is currently in chaos. It would be rude of us not to greet your envoy at the pass. This is Mr. Li."
Seeing this, Monk Jingkong bowed his hands again.
In the past, Li Xian often dealt with envoys from various ministries in the West Sea who sent gifts, so he was not surprised at all by this kind of frightened appearance. Looking at the appearance of a group of people who looked like horse thieves, to be honest, he didn't think highly of them, so he nodded slightly and said:
"Master Jingkong is invited to come over for this trip. The purpose is clear to the prince. My prince is not short of food, grass, weapons, and rich land, but not everyone can give these things..."
Although Monk Jingkong has a humble attitude, his ability to become Huang Liansheng's deputy is not bad. Faced with Li Xian's words questioning his strength, he was not too dissatisfied. He just looked around and whispered:
"You two adults, are you sure you want to talk here?"
In fact, Eunuch Xu looked down upon Li Xian, a loser. If it weren't for his status as King Zuo Xian's agent, he would have thrown him aside long ago. He immediately raised his hand:
"Everyone, please come in. Our family has prepared a banquet of fine wine and wine. It won't be too late to talk about this after you have eaten and drank enough..."
Monk Jingkong then bowed his hands with a smile and entered the gate with more than a dozen followers.
On a house not far from the mansion, a big fluffy bird poked its head from the ridge and looked at the group of people talking. After everyone entered the mansion, it quietly spread its wings and flew towards the city.
…
——
On the other side, between the markets in the city.
Black Cu City was originally the main city of the Gouchen Tribe, but after it was taken over by King Zuo Xian, it became a transfer station on the east-west trade route. The goods coming from the Western Sea Protectorate had to pass through here before they could be dispersed into the Gouchen Tribe and even nearby areas.
The territory of ten small tribes has a large number of foreigners.
Because a military disaster suddenly occurred along the Tianlang Lake, the situation in Black Cu City was similar to that in Jingjie City, with most merchants stranded in the city.
After Ye Jingtang followed Qinghe into the city, he led the team outside the medicine market in the south of the city. Like other places, there was a medical clinic and pharmacy opened by the Dongming tribe.
Because there were people from the Dongming Tribe taking care of things, the process of entering the city was quite smooth and there were no interrogations or obstructions. However, when entering the place of residence, we ran into some trouble.
Ye Jingtang brought the carriage and stopped in the alley beside the pharmacy. Jiang Laojiu and others went to the city to find out the news. He turned back to the carriage and prepared to ask Hua Qingzhi and Shui'er to come down.
As a result, I opened the curtain and saw that Shui'er, who was supporting Hua Qingzhi, was leaning on Hua Qingzhi, while Hua Qingzhi was leaning on Lvzhu. The three of them had rosy cheeks and were sleeping peacefully.
.
?
Seeing this, Fan Qinghe was furious. He jumped on the carriage and patted Master Xuanji on the buttocks:
Pa~
"Witch!"
"Um!"
Master Xuanji immediately sat up, raised his eyes and looked around, and when he found where he was, he opened his arms:
"I'm a little sleepy, Jingtang, take me back to the house."
Ye Jingtang saw Shui'er wanting to hug her, and subconsciously wanted to raise her hand to pick it up, but was pushed down by Aunt Fan:
"You can't leave on your own? We've been busy for so long, and you know how to sleep..."
Master Xuanji didn't mind this at all. She stood up slowly and jumped out of the carriage, hooking Qinghe's shoulder:
"Okay, why are you so cruel? Let's go and take a shower. After running around for so many days, let's relax in the evening."
Fan Qinghe pushed Master Xuanji's cheek away, frowned and said:
"What do you want to do? I won't follow you..."
"Let's go, let's go~"
…
Ye Jingtang watched the two daughters-in-law talking arm in arm, with smiles in their eyes. After the two entered the courtyard gate, they came to the carriage and shook Hua Qingzhi's shoulders:
"Miss Hua?"
"Hmm~..."
Hua Qingzhi slept soundly. After being shaken twice, she opened her eyes with drunken eyes and looked at the Night Terror Hall in front of her, and then began to look around:
"Where's Sister Lu..."
"When you get there, I'll take you back to your house to rest."
"oh……"
Hua Qingzhi was a little confused. She held Ye Jingtang's arm and tried to get up, but her legs were not very stable. She was even more unsteady when she was drunk. As soon as she stood up, she almost fell into Ye Jingtang's arms.
Ye Jingtang smelled the aroma of wine and looked helpless. He could only raise his hand to scoop it up, pick up Hua Qingzhi like a princess, jump off the carriage and quickly enter the yard.
Hua Qingzhi's body is very light. With Ye Jingtang's arm strength, it is not much different from not holding anything. She is also very honest on the road and does not move or struggle. However, her drunken and blurred eyes keep looking at Ye Jingtang, and she still looks at Ye Jingtang halfway.
Drunkly, he said:
"Mr. Ye, I'm back home, will you miss me?"
Ye Jingtang was a little funny: "Of course, it's rare to have two close friends in life. How can we not worry about each other after they are separated."
"If the Queen knew that you secretly miss me, wouldn't you be angry?"
"?"
Ye Jingtang was speechless for a moment. He lowered his head and looked at Hua Qingzhi who was drunk. He thought it was just a drunken joke and hurried to the small courtyard where he stayed.
Master Xuanji was already awake and was preparing hot water for washing with Qinghe. When he saw Ye Jingtang coming in, he stepped forward to catch Hua Qingzhi:
"Why did you bring this girl in? You didn't take advantage of her on the road, did you?"
Hua Qingzhi closed her eyes and answered, half asleep and half awake:
"No, Mr. Ye is a gentleman..."
"Ha~ I'm quite protective of my shortcomings."
While Master Xuanji was talking, she carried Hua Qingzhi into the house.
Seeing this, Ye Jingtang turned around and went outside the courtyard, brought in Lvzhu who was also drunk, and placed her on the bed in the room, asking Qinghe and Shui'er to help wipe her face, wash herself, and rest.
This trip started from Honghe Town and lasted for three to five days in the scorching heat. Ye Jingtang also broke out in sweat. While the two daughters-in-law were busy working, they went to the well in the yard to get water to wash themselves and change into clean clothes.
As a result, before he finished cleaning up, he found that the bird responsible for tracking had flown back from outside, landed on the wall, and started making "coo-coo-chi-chi-chi..." gestures.
Fan Qinghe had just been waiting for Hua Qingzhi to lie down. When he saw this, he came to the door and asked:
"Is that team going to join us?"
"It should be, let's go over and have a look."
Ye Jingtang wiped his body dry two or three times, then put on his clean clothes and followed the birds to the city.
Fan Qinghe knew the situation of the tribes in Xihai very well, so he naturally followed him as a consultant. After telling the demon girl to be careful, he and Ye Jingtang escaped into the night, and within a short time, they arrived near an official residence in the city.
The official residence is the residence of the garrison general of Black Cluster City. There are officers and soldiers patrolling around it, and there are also secret sentries from the Twelve Houses and Prince Zuoxian's Palace inside. However, these little shrimps obviously cannot stop the two of them.
After Ye Jingtang arrived at the place, he asked Niao Niao to go back to rest after get off work. He and Qing He sneaked into the mansion quietly and followed the sound of conversations to the vicinity of the main hall of the mansion.
Fan Qinghe also practiced the Ming Shen Diagram, and was born with six senses. He was still some distance away from the brightly lit main hall, and heard the sound of changing glasses and the conversation inside:
"Li Mou always speaks straightforwardly. My prince has plenty of food, grass, weapons and horses, but there are also many people who can use them. There are dozens of tribes in the Western Sea alone who are willing to serve the prince..."
"The tribes in the West Sea are known for their ability to conquer and fight, and the soldiers and horses from each tribe are elite soldiers. Master Jingkong wants me to support your tribe by supporting your tribe, but I must first prove that your tribe has this value..."
Ye Jingtang was naturally listening attentively, and found that the two people speaking had met several times before. She was quite surprised, so she whispered in Aunt Fan's ear:
"They are Li Xian, the steward of Prince Zuoxian's palace, and Eunuch Xu, the twelfth servant. Who is this Master Jingkong?"
In order to rebuild the Northwest Royal Court, Fan Qinghe, like Master Xuanji, has been traveling around the country and north to look for clues these years. He knows a lot about the situation in the desert and responded softly:
"It seems that he is a leader of the Shatuo tribe. He sent people to Dongming Mountain to buy medicinal materials before..."
Ye Jingtang had only been to Shazhou City as a escort, so he didn't know much about the situation in the desert. He nodded slightly and continued to listen carefully.
Monk Jingkong in the main hall, although his attitude was quite humble, his tone was very tough. When two senior officials from Beiliang questioned his strength, he said directly:
"My Shatuo tribe has 8,000 men who are good at fighting. In the past few years, we have annexed other tribes and captured thousands of prisoners to serve as soldiers. As long as we have food, grass and horses, we can think of ways to raise an army of 20,000..."
"There are 20,000 soldiers and only 8,000 elite men. If you put it in the desert, you can be regarded as the overlord of one side, but if you throw it into the tribes of the West Sea, it really means nothing. Let’s not talk about the four major tribes. Just the Hongshan Gang in Liangzhou in the south. You are not
I will definitely be able to defeat..."
"How can a group of horse bandits from the Hongshan Gang be compared with our soldiers? Our warriors are no worse than those from Gouchen, but they are short of food and clothing in the desert. And although our soldiers are not as many as those of the four major Xihai tribes, they are
There are two things that are better than the tribes of the Western Sea."
"Oh, come and listen to what Master Jingkong has to say?"
"The first thing is the stance - our Shatuo tribe wants to stand on its own, but we are against the Southern Dynasty, and we stand in line with your country; while the tribes in the West Sea want to rebuild the royal court, but we are against your country, and there is the orphan of King Tianlang
Now, it’s more towards the Southern Dynasty.”
"What about number two?"
"Second is the leader. As the saying goes, 'If a soldier is weak, he will be weak in the whole group.' Two of the leaders of the four major departments are people who can make the most of the situation. The only one who can fight is that King Chen is dead, and King Dongming is no more.
He is a witch doctor, and no one can carry the beam. But our leader is different. Not only is he good at both civil and military skills, he knows how to use soldiers, his personal martial arts are also at the pinnacle, far above the leaders of the four major tribes..."
When Ye Jingtang heard this, he was a little confused and asked:
"Who is the great king of the Shatuo tribe?"
Fan Qinghe didn't even frown, and thought about it carefully:
"It seems that his name is Huang Liansheng. I heard that he is good at martial arts, but in my impression he is just a desert master. He cannot be compared with the heads of the four major tribes..."
Apparently, it was not only the two eavesdroppers who had the same doubts, but also the two people in the main hall.
Eunuch Xu is one of the twelve servants of Yandu. His martial arts skills cannot be said to be extraordinary, but they are definitely not bad. He responded:
"The main reason why our family and Mr. Li came here is for this matter. Chief Huang of your department said in a secret letter that as long as our court is willing to support and assist, he can help resist the Night Terror Hall of the Southern Dynasty. You must know that the Night Terror Hall
This man is an outstanding figure in the world, and even Mr. Zhongsun of our dynasty can only barely suppress him. Why does your department dare to boast about this Haikou?"
"The leader of my family has been extremely talented since he was a child. In the past years, he went to Yun'an to pay tribute, visited countless heroes of the Southern Dynasty, and learned good martial arts. He has been unknown these years, but he just takes the overall situation into consideration and does not want to be suppressed by the Southern Dynasty. In fact, the leader of my family has
From the day I took over as leader, my goal has been to unify the desert, and to do this, I must first kill my anonymous master..."
"You mean, Leader Huang has always regarded Monk Shenchen as his opponent?"
"Yes, Shazhou is the last pure land of Buddhism. Unless Zen Master Shenchen dies, no one can cause war in Shazhou."
"Then Chief Huang is already sure of killing Monk Shenchen?"
"When I was a teenager, I was imprisoned in the Thousand Buddhas Temple and worked as a cook for ten years. In my opinion, Zen Master Shenchen was just a flawless golden bell without any flaws. To be honest, I didn't think the leader of my family had this ability. But my leader is not.
People who make false claims and say they can help fight against night terrors, then that’s OK.”
"..."
When Ye Jingtang heard this, like the two acquaintances in the main hall, their eyebrows showed a solemn look.
Fan Qinghe thought for a moment and whispered:
"What a strong tone. Can such a domineering person be raised in the desert?"
Ye Jingtang thought for a while and said: "Maybe he is exaggerating his strength in order to trick Beiliang into helping him, but if he blows such a blow, there must be a few tricks. This Huang Liansheng needs to pay close attention to."
In the brightly lit main hall, after a moment of silence, Eunuch Xu spoke again:
"Master Jingkong has been resting here recently. Our family will go back to the Xihai Protectorate to discuss the matter with the imperial court. Then we will return with Master Jingkong to see the leader of your department. If the leader of your department is really as powerful as you say, what can the imperial court give you?"
It’s not just food, grass and weapons.”
"Eunuch Xie Xu..."
…
Ye Jingtang listened carefully for a while and found that there was nothing important, so he and Aunt Fan quietly left the mansion.
After walking far away, Ye Jingtang said softly:
"Beiliang brought over an elixir, and I'm afraid it was prepared for Huang Liansheng. If Eunuch Xu goes back to discuss it, he should bring the elixir with him."
Fan Qinghe walked beside him and asked:
"Are we going to sit here and wait, or are we?"
"We still need to send Hua Qingzhi to Uncle Hua's place. Let's go over there. If we can kill the little Zuo Xian King along the way, won't this battle be unnecessary?"
Fan Qinghe shook his head and said: "It's not that simple. Prince Zuo Xian is different from his father Li Kai. He himself cannot suppress the various tribes in Xihai, nor can he suppress his generals. He is a mascot who inherits his father's legacy.
"There are a lot of sons of King Zuo Xian. If you kill one, Beiliang will just push out another one. After killing them, there will be Prince Li. As long as the army of the Xihai Protectorate does not disperse, the current situation will not change much. On the contrary,
You, if you make a mistake and get into trouble, this battle really doesn’t need to be fought.”
Ye Jingtang thought about it, so he didn't say anything more at the moment, and hurried back to the large pharmacy in Dongmingbu with Qinghe.
As the night got darker, Jiang Laojiu and others had all returned after inquiring about the situation in the city. They all went back to their rooms to rest after their long journey.
The lights in the house where Hua Qingzhi lived had been turned off, and there were two steady breathing sounds inside. It seemed that both the master and the servant were asleep. Even the birds who were working all the way were lying on the lounge chairs under the eaves, asleep.
personnel.
Ye Jingtang didn't make any movement when he saw this, and quietly landed in the courtyard with Qinghe. Looking up, he saw that the light was still on in Qinghe's own room, and there was no sound from inside.
When Fan Qinghe saw this scene, he knew that he would be dragged and tortured by the witch later. There was a weird look in his eyes, and he walked aside silently:
"I'll take a bath, you go to bed first."
Ye Jingtang chuckled and put away his thoughts. He came to the house and opened the door, wanting to see what Shui'er was doing.
The surprising result is that Shui'er is rare and very serious. She is sitting cross-legged on the tea couch in the room, holding the Ziwu Jue in her hands. She is dressed in white as snow and has a fairy-like temperament. There is no trace of dust or smoke in her cold brows. She seems to be practicing Qigong seriously.
The Night Terror Hall was already agitated, but when they saw such a holy fairy, they just suppressed it, put on a gentle and elegant look again, closed the door and came to the front:
"Practice?"
When the real Xuanji came out of the world, she was just like a cold fairy. She was not like Bingtuotuo and kept away from strangers, but she had a sense of greater distance, as if there was a world between them, they could be seen but always out of reach.
Hearing Ye Jingtang's voice, Xuanji's eyelashes fluttered slightly, but she did not open her eyes:
"I just looked at the moonlight outside and got some insights. You can go to sleep first."
"..."
To be honest, Ye Jingtang said that this was the first time he saw such a serious Shuishui. He was a little unaccustomed to it and wanted to go to sleep by himself. After taking two steps, he couldn't help but ask:
"How long will it take to practice?"
Master Xuanji made no response.
Because Ye Jingtang was not sure whether Shui'er had real insights or was teasing him, he really didn't want to harm the fairy's Taoist heart at this time, so he went to the bed and sat down. He didn't want to sleep peacefully and started to meditate and practice.
Wow~
After waiting for a long time, the sound of water splashing outside disappeared, and then the sound of footsteps sounded.
Tap tap tap~
Fan Qinghe put on a nightgown. He was still blushing and hesitated to enter the room. When he found that there was no movement in the room, he was curious about what tricks the two of them were playing.
Could it be that the witch lay down without making any movement without being beaten?
After hesitating for a moment, Fan Qinghe carefully opened the door and took a peek inside.
When he found two perverts, a man and a woman, meditating at a distance far away, Fan Qinghe was obviously stunned for a moment, entered the room, closed the door, and said inexplicably:
"It's really strange...Is there something wrong with you two?"
Master Xuanji showed no reaction, while Ye Jingtang quickly opened his eyes and hissed:
"Shui'er just gained some insights and is practicing."
"Practice?"
Fan Qinghe didn't believe that the demon girl could do real things at night, but when he saw that the demon girl was serious, he didn't want to disturb her, so he slowly moved to the bed:
"How long will it take for her to realize?"
"I don't know. Why don't you wait?"
"..."
Fan Qinghe felt that the witch was pretending to fool her again, trying to trick her into taking the lead, but there was no evidence. After thinking about it, he sat down in front of the Night Terror Hall and pretended to start practicing and waiting.
What the two of them didn't expect was that after two quarters of an hour of sitting cross-legged on the tea couch, Master Xuanji's breath really changed.
The temperament that was originally repulsive to people thousands of miles away slowly began to converge, and even the expression between the eyebrows became softer. At first glance, it looked like a fairy who had fallen into the mortal world, and became ordinary, but within this plainness, there was a hint of romance.
The indifference of "returning to peace after seeing through the world of mortals" is ordinary but unusual...
Ye Jingtang had been waiting for Shui'er to complete his power, and suddenly saw this change, and his eyes were obviously surprised.
Fan Qinghe tilted his head slightly and said half convinced:
"Has she really realized something?"
Master Xuanji has been in the top three of the Eight Chiefs for nearly ten years, and is not far away from reaching the next level. At this time, he raised his hands, slowly collected his energy and calmed down, and said calmly:
"I've reached the threshold of returning to my original nature. I'm still close to being a Martial Saint. It's a pity."
Fan Qinghe sat up a little straighter: "Huh?"
To be honest, Ye Jingtang didn't quite believe this, but looking at Shui'er's weather, it was indeed different from when he went out. After hesitating for a moment, he asked:
"Just when we were out of the house, you suddenly had an epiphany?"
Master Xuanji shrugged slightly: "Otherwise? I have to choose a time to say hello to you? I am the next generation headmaster of Yuxu Mountain. I have been able to become the top three of the eight masters since I was a child. If you are half-disciplined as a teacher, you may not be half-disciplined.
If you have only half of the Taoism as a teacher, can you really become a teacher like a flower vase?"
Ye Jingtang never thought that Shui'er was a flower vase. After all, from his wife's mouth, he learned almost all of Shui'er's experiences from childhood to adulthood. He was either drinking or playing. Anyway, he didn't do anything serious, so he still stood firm in Ba Kui's favor.
The top three are also good at both civil and military skills. They are much more powerful than the normal military commanders.
But when he saw Shui'er coming out of the blue, he had an epiphany. It was still a bit unbelievable for a warrior like Ye Jingtang to work hard.
After Master Xuanji finished practicing the kung fu, he returned to his usual leisurely attitude. He gracefully turned around and stood up straight. Then he walked to the Night Terror Hall and sat down face to face with his buttocks pillowed on his knees:
"Huh? Are you a good teacher?"
Snapped!
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a crisp sound in the room.
Fan Qinghe straightened his clothes, his eyes were filled with anger and hatred, and he almost broke his molars:
"Why? You don't do anything serious all day long. You just drink and waste time. You are not as diligent as Yunli. Why don't you retreat but advance instead?!"
Master Xuanji hugged Ye Jingtang's neck, first kissed her face, then leaned on her shoulders and turned her head to look at Qinghe:
"I've told you a long time ago that for those who practice martial arts, the cultivation of strength is the lowest and the cultivation of the mind is the highest. Since childhood, I have followed the desires of my heart and my thoughts are clear. If I don't know, who will succeed? You don't even dare to face your true heart. No matter how many serious things you do,
, it’s nothing more than wandering astray.”
Fan Qinghe said unconvinced: "Why didn't I face my true intention?"
Seeing this, Master Xuanji let go of Ye Jingtang and moved aside:
"Then you try?"
"?"
Fan Qinghe obviously understood what the enchantress meant. She originally wanted to be tough with her words, but it turned out to be duplicity. After a moment of hesitation, she turned over and sat on her lap, pulled open her nightgown, and revealed her fair and graceful figure:
"What if I look at it squarely and fail to make progress?"
Master Xuanji sat in front of him, looking up and down:
"That's because we haven't done enough. Thoughts penetrate the heart as if it were still water, so it's impossible not to realize it."
"..."
Fan Qinghe still wanted to chat a few words, but found that Ye Jingtang was completely distracted and his eyes were wandering. Finally, he decided to give it a try, held it in his hands and started to learn to do what he wanted.
Master Xuanji noticed that Qinghe's face was still flushed. He closed his eyes and tilted his head to imitate his concentration. There was something funny in his eyes. After looking away, he sat up again and lowered the curtain...
After a few days of rest, I went to Wudang Mountain for a walk, and I feel that my condition has recovered a bit. Thank you for your understanding or2!
