(This is not a big chapter. A big chapter has to be postponed for a few days, because it is about the characters who went out, and it requires a lot of space to explain clearly. The current chapter is about closing a big net.)
After the New Year, several major events happened in Aquarius Island.
One is the young but very senior Taoist priest of the Shen Gao Sect. Under the recommendation of the head brother "Tianjun" Qi Zhen, he was invited to be the Supreme Sect of the Shen Gao Sect, located in the Middle Earth Divine Continent.
The great Taoist sect became the new headmaster of that sect, and was in charge of the extremely precious Taoist masterpiece "Dong Xuan Jing", which was known as "The Compendium of Taoism".
This news is no less impressive than the previous celebration held by Shen Gaozong to celebrate Qi Zhen being crowned Heavenly King.
The second is Zhenwu Mountain, one of the ancestral families of the military family. Last year, a new disciple was recruited and he broke through three realms in a row. Zhenwu Mountain, which was originally slightly less powerful than Fengxue Temple, suddenly became more powerful and seemed to be under pressure.
After passing the signs of Fengxue Temple, you must know that this is still based on the premise that Fengxue Temple became a land swordsman in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. This shows that the young man's talent is high.
The third is a rumor, saying that the Northern Barbarians, the Great Li Dynasty, are crazy and want to upgrade a certain mountain peak in the south of the territory to a country's Northern Mountains. There was a lot of discussion, mostly ridicule and ridicule, saying that the Song family is not only knowledgeable.
It's so shallow that I can't even distinguish the east, west, north and south clearly. Only Guanhu Academy, where students are strictly prohibited from discussing this matter, is worth pondering.
The remaining incidents are not as shocking as the first three, and most of them are rumored rumors, and it is difficult to determine whether they are true or false. For example, in the old dragon city in the southernmost part of the continent, Fu Nanhua, the young city lord, is going to have an affair with a wealthy man from Nanjian country.
The marriage of the first daughter, the woman's family, is one of the richest families in Aquarius Continent, but it is rumored that the woman is extremely ugly, she is a thirty-year-old old girl.
Another example is the Great Sui Dynasty in the north, which was in turmoil. Great monks kept quietly leaving the country and choosing to "travel" southward. It is said that they wanted to avoid its sharp edges and avoid the fictitious white jade Jing Feijian Tower in Great Li.
As for the Cliff Academy, which was stripped of its title of Seventy-Two Academy, it took root in the capital of the Sui Dynasty last year, which is not a big news.
The Great Sui Dynasty also announced to the outside world that there was an astonishing martial artist of the Tenth Realm. Everyone in the southern part of Aquarius Continent thought it was a clumsy deception by the Gao family of the Great Sui Dynasty.
The Lantern Festival has only been over for a few days, but already so many great things have happened. It seems that Dongbaopingzhou has never been so lively.
As Wei Bo went to Luopo Mountain for a leisurely walk every day, the mountain became lively. The immortals on the three nearby mountains originally only regarded Luopo Mountain as a joke for their delay in building a mansion, but now they began to go there frequently.
When running down the mountain, you either have a chance encounter with the Great God of Beiyue, or you go to the mountain temple on the top of the mountain to offer incense.
This move is not simple. There are big rules and regulations for immortals to burn incense in temples. Immortals often do not set foot in temples, let alone burn incense easily, unless it is the "first incense" that is similar to an alliance. For example, I built a mansion on a mountain.
, there is an ancestral temple on the mountain that was entrusted by the imperial court, so one stick of incense will be burned instead of three sticks. It is regarded as a greeting. If the incense burns out, it means that the landscape gods in the ancestral temple nod in approval. If inserted
If the incense in the incense burner cannot burn, it means that "the heat is not enough." As for whether the Xian family will quarrel with each other or win over each other more, it depends on their confidence, or it depends on how thick the Yamashita Dynasty's arms are and how strong his fists are.
How big.
It's just that the little Aquarius Continent is not the Middle-earth Divine Continent where hundreds of flowers are blooming. It is said that there once was a powerful dynasty that has stood for thousands of years. Whenever the country declines, there will be a talented and powerful emperor and civil servants and generals who can turn the tide.
, that dynasty strongly advocated pure martial arts, and once accomplished a feat that was unprecedented and unprecedented. A certain foolish king who almost destroyed the country turned into a beauty in anger and besieged a great mountain with the power of the whole country. In addition to domestic training,
There are magic weapons for qi warriors, flying swords for swordsmen, etc., as well as countless powerful bows and crossbows for pure warriors, 6,000 trebuchets inscribed with Taoist cloud seal talismans, and nearly 10,000 trebuchets specially made by Mohist mechanics.
The huge crossbow used all the reserves of the dynasty. Each crossbow arrow was as thick as a pillar of the palace... and finally shot the big mountain into a hedgehog.
The small town of Longquan is still lively, but in the past two days, the mountains to the west have been extremely quiet and peaceful. Not to mention the foreign immortals who have settled here, and even the unruly fairies and ghosts, they dare not take a breath because of the big
Li Guoshi Cui Xuan began to patrol the mountains.
I heard that this was the first time that the old man in Confucian shirts set foot in Longquan County. The old man was serious in speech and took only two followers with him, walking from north to south, starting from the county governor's house in the north and entering the mountain.
Because the old man did not deliberately ask for a private visit incognito, he first greeted his protégé, Wu Yuan, who serves as the county guard. Therefore, all major mountains have received notifications from the Yamen early, requiring them to be ready to pick him up in the near future.
, the Imperial Master will go up the mountain to view the scenery at any time,
It’s not that you force people to do something difficult, you have to bring out some dragon liver and phoenix marrow, or do some fancy pure land sweeping the streets, but there must be some dignity, and at least one of the leaders should stay at the top of the mountain and stop wandering around, otherwise the national master will come up the mountain.
Finally, if you ask a casual question and you don’t know three things, that’s inappropriate.
Among them, Shenxiu Mountain under Ruan Qiong's name and Niujiao Mountain where Bao Fengzhai is located must be the top priority. Wu Yuan had to let the two eldest sons Yuan and Cao, who served as county magistrate and kiln supervisor respectively,
Settle in the two places first to avoid any mistakes due to poor reception.
As for Piyun Mountain, not to mention, His Majesty the Emperor will visit him in person soon. As expected, Cui Chan, the Imperial Preceptor, briefly lived at Piyun Mountain for two days and saw the Beiyue Temple and the location of the new academy.
The appearance of Zhang Mian, who accompanied the imperial advisor throughout the entire process, caused an uproar. He turned out to be Huang Tingguo's old minister "Cheng Shuidong". This aroused many speculations. Could it be that the Hong family of Huang Tingguo, as a vassal state affiliated with the Sui Dynasty, had betrayed the covenant?
Finally, Cui Zhang walked to the southernmost Luolu Mountain and climbed to the mountain temple. Song Yuzhang appeared in golden form. When Song Yuzhang was studying at a young age, he had highly respected this national teacher. Now, not only can he see his true appearance up close,
He was able to talk a few words about moral knowledge, which made Song Yuzhang, who had become a landscape god, still extremely excited.
Leaving the mountain temple, Cui Chan asked Song Yuzhang to go to Piyun Mountain to discuss with Wei Bo about the monster entering the mountain. He asked his two subordinates Xu Ruo and Liu Yu to return to the town and continue to stare at Xie Shi and Cao Xi. In the dusk, the Great Li Kingdom
The master slowly went down the mountain alone, walked on a quiet path, and finally came to a bamboo building. One was a boy in green and a girl in pink skirt practicing meditation on the edge of the cliff, while the other was eating melon seeds and cakes under the eaves. After seeing the old man, the girl in pink skirt
The girl blinked her eyes, but the old man fainted in the medicine bucket again. She neither dared to close the door to refuse guests without permission, nor dared to let a strange old man break into the bamboo house without permission.
The boy in green had been practicing diligently recently, meditating with great concentration, working day and night. Except for carrying Chen Ping An away from the second floor, he had almost never left the cliffside, and he had not heard anything outside the mountain. As a result, when he opened his eyes, he saw a man with a profound cultivation level.
The bottomless old Confucian scholar looks like he has a bad temper. The kid in green is already thinking about jumping off a cliff to commit suicide. When walking on the streets of a small town or on the Mud Bottle Alley, he meets someone who punches him to death.
, that’s it, walking back to the wilderness road of Luolu Mountain, I met again, bear it, what, I am practicing quietly in front of my house, right at the door, someone is going to come out and punch me to death?
The boy in Tsing Yi had a numb look on his face, but he showed great courage even though he was not afraid of death. He said to the old man: "My master has not entertained guests recently. If you are unhappy, you might as well punch me to death. Anyway, you have to step over my body first."
The old man nodded, with an indifferent expression, "You want to die, right?"
Just as the boy in green was about to speak, the girl in pink skirt asked in a childish voice: "Old sir, who are you looking for?"
Cui Chan turned his head and said with a smile: "My name is Cui Chan, and I am the Grand Master of the Great Li Kingdom. If I am not looking for your master, I am looking for the man on the second floor."
The kid in green clothes felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and then rolled his eyes instantly, holding his head with one hand, and waving around like he was blinding with the other hand, "What did I just say? Why don't I remember, why is this happening..."
There was an old man standing by the railing on the second floor and said to the girl in pink skirt: "Let him come up. You take that little water snake and go somewhere else to play first. Don't worry, it has nothing to do with your master Chen Pingan."
Imperial Master Cui Xun carried two chairs, walked up to the second floor, placed them gently in the corridor, and sat on them one by one.
The old man asked: "What's going on?"
Cui Chan said calmly: "For my own great cause, I found a skin bag of an ancient immortal, put half of my soul into it, divided it into two parts, and walked around the Lizhu Cave with the appearance of a young man. As a result, Qi Jingchun failed, and instead
He caused him to fall into a state of decline and his soul was unstable. Later, he made a deal with a remnant prisoner here who had lived for an extremely long time and learned a secret technique. Only then did he finally stabilize his mind. Then the old scholar came.
After a trip here, he chose me as a young boy, abandoned me in Lijing City, cut off the connection between my soul and my soul, and completely split it in two. There are two Cui Chan in the world..."
The old man also had a cold look on his face. He put his hands into fists on his knees and looked into the distance. "That's wrong, it's Cui Zhenyi."
Cui Chan was noncommittal about this, "I am Cui Chan, and I have been like this since the moment I left my hometown. As for the young man who took half of my soul, he has now chosen a new name related to mountains, Cui Dongshan, I think
The name Cui Wei is appropriate. Cui Chan, Cui Wei, mountains and rivers are not separated, and if mountains and rivers meet again, it can bring good omens."
The old man turned his head and asked, "Why have you become so old?"
Cui Chan laughed at himself: "I left home at the age of twenty, and went to the Divine Continent of the Middle Earth at the age of twenty-four. After more than a hundred years, there were ups and downs. After betraying the master, I wandered around for more than thirty years, traveling around the world, and returning to the Aquarius Continent.
After all, I have stayed in the Great Li Dynasty for so many years. I am two hundred years old and no longer young."
The old man shook his head and said, "This is not what I remember."
Cui Han smiled and said softly: "Grandpa, you know, you have always been like this. Everything is just 'I think'. It seems that everyone and all the reasons in the world are surrounding you. I'm afraid.
It's only when you're crazy that you don't do this. Although I don't know the reasons and changes, why Cui didn't imprison you, but I don't think your coming to see me means anything to you or me."
The old man still shook his head, "I'm here to see your husband."
Cui Chan sneered and said: "Old scholar? He has already left Aquarius Continent and went to Posu Continent. He made a lot of noise. Even the sun on the shoulder of the ancestor of the Chen family in Yingyin was stolen by the old scholar.
The whole world is in an uproar now, but no one can care about the old scholar now, he is very cool."
The old man smiled and said, "When I was young, I would not say such things. He would say bad things about someone, but at the end of each time, he would add a sentence, but that person was good to his family, but that person's poems
It’s really good, but…”
Cui Chan snorted coldly: "That's enough! I've turned over the old accounts of Chen Sesame and Rotten Millet, and they're all covered in dust."
The old man laughed heartily, "He is worthy of being the Grand Master of Great Li, a great man who can control the trends in half of the continent."
Cui Chen sighed.
The old man laughed at himself: "No wonder I didn't recognize you at that time. The Wei in my memory is so different from you now."
Cui Zhang stood up, held on to the railing with one hand, and said: "The human heart is like water. If it doesn't move, it will be stagnant water."
The old man stood up slowly, "I can see that apart from the swordsman beside you, there are two powerful people in the town. Why, are they targeting you? Do you need me to do anything?"
Cui Chan hesitated for a moment and asked half-seriously: "Then we have to see if you dare to kill a Taoist heavenly king from Juluzhou."
The old man laughed twice.
Cui Zhang turned his head and looked at the old man, who was exactly the same as he was when he was young. The old man was also completely different from what he remembers when he was young. At that time, the ancestor of the Cui family was leaning on a cane, looked very old, and had an elegant and bookish air.
The old man closed his eyes.
Start looking for the inspiration of someone in the small town.
————
The old residence of the Xie family in Taoye Lane, a small town.
Cao Xi came to visit.
Xie Shi didn't bother to introduce his identity, and Cao Xi didn't want to brag about himself. The entire Xie family didn't know that this rich man was actually a land swordsman from Posu Continent.
Xie Shi has been waiting for the exact news from Emperor Da Li. How many of the three people, Shen Gaozong He Xiaoliang, Zhenwu Mountain Ma Kuxuan, and Xiao Xiao Li Xisheng, can be handed over in the end.
Although they don't know the details of Cao Xi, since he is Xie Shi, their ancestor's "friend", the Xie family still dare not neglect him in the slightest.
In the lobby, Cao Xi drank tea and glanced sideways at a pair of cute little incense figures. They hid in the plaque and poked their heads towards them.
Xie Shi was impatient with Cao Xi's behavior and was about to drive them away when the two of them looked to the southwest almost at the same time.
Cao Xi narrowed his eyes, a little gloating.
Xie Shi looked calm, but he was already a little shocked in his heart.
The aura of a martial artist at the peak of the Nine Realms.
From somewhere beyond the mountains in the southwest, someone was "inspecting" the entire town in an unscrupulous manner.
Finally, keep an eye on Xie Shi.
Sword Fairy Cao Xi, who was sitting across from him, had a piece of river water tied to his wrist as his natal flying sword.
There was also a "young" swordsman who quietly appeared in Taoye Lane at an unknown time. He was the Mohist hero Xu Ruo, walking leisurely with his sword behind him.
His reputation in Aquarius is not well known.
But in the Middle-earth Divine Continent, it is famous. But even in the Middle-earth Divine Continent, most people still only know the sword of the Mohist hero Xu Rui, which emphasizes defense rather than offensive. The sword moves are simple, the sword energy is profound, and the sword intention is thick.
He is famous for his defense, but it is not clear that Xu Ruo's divine swordsmanship is actually used to kill enemies. How could it be for "holding the sword and making him invincible"?
Mohist knights roamed the world. Although their purpose was to defeat the strong and help the weak, whether in the rivers, lakes or on the battlefield, the Mohist disciples were definitely not low in killing power. Therefore, besides military strategists, the Mohist monks were among the most highly relied upon by military commanders on the battlefield.
one.
Now, a pure martial artist who is at least at the peak of the Ninth Realm suddenly appears, ready to act, and has no good intentions towards Xie Shi.
In addition, there is a saint named Ruan Qiong whose position is temporarily unknown.
Xie Shi took a sip of tea and looked around.
The moment before Xie Shi was about to put the tea cup back on the table.
From the patio, a little oriole swooped through the air. There were ripples on the rooftop patio, and calm soon returned.
The small and cute oriole landed on Xie Shi's shoulder and pecked at the man's clothes.
Chen Ping'an has seen this oriole, Qi Jingchun has seen it, and in fact many people in small towns have seen it.
Cao Xi's face showed doubts, and then his color suddenly changed. Finally, sweat broke out on his forehead, and his smile turned pale. He was both in awe and a little bit lucky.
Xu Ruo sighed and let go of the hand holding the sword hilt. He felt that his sword could not be drawn out. The result was the same, it was still too slow.
Ruan Qiong only stopped for a moment from his blacksmithing action and immediately continued to work on the sword.
Only in the down-and-out Shanzhu House, the old man laughed loudly and was full of fighting spirit.
