Pei Qian stared at the long golden bridge and recited the teachings of the sages, while Zhu Lian was thinking about something.
The long bridge across the Mi River gradually disappeared. Pei Qian was a little thirsty and lost the energy to study. She wanted to learn boxing and swordsmanship, but it was a pity that Chen Pingan was unwilling to teach her. As for people like Zhu Lian, even if they
She is willing to teach, but Pei Qian is not willing to learn.
Chen Ping'an was still in the mysterious state of sitting and forgetting. What was even more strange was that he found himself floating out, his soul leaving his body and hanging in the air. Looking at himself sitting cross-legged, he felt very weird in his heart. It was different from the previous confrontation with Ding.
The souls of the infant and the eunuch in python clothes were separated and divided into three parts. Some of those who left the body this time were like the legendary Yin gods, the kind that the gentleman Zhong Kui had that night at the inn, but Zhong Kui also cultivated into Yang.
The gods and yin gods, "Chen Ping'an", are now unstable and erratic as the wind in the river embodies the spiritual energy and force, which is far inferior to the conciseness and stability of Zhong Kui's two yin gods and yang gods.
If this "Chen Pingan" is just a toddler, then Zhong Kui is already a strong young man who climbs mountains and wades in rivers as if he were walking on flat ground.
Neither Pei Qian nor Zhu Lian was aware of these strange phenomena.
The two Chen Ping'an's thoughts moved almost at the same time, and a thought came to mind that could not be shaken off. The drifting Chen Ping'an turned his head and glanced at the lower reaches of the buried river, and then Chen Ping'an, who was sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes and said softly:
"I need to practice setting up the sword furnace here. The situation tonight is different and I can't go into details. Pei Qian and Zhu Lian, you may need to help me keep vigil for a few hours."
Zhu Lian nodded and said with a smile: "It's my duty as an old slave."
Pei Qian stamped his feet and lamented, "I should have told you earlier that I should have brought some snacks as a midnight snack."
Chen Ping'an, who had left his body, took a step towards the Buried River. In an instant, he swept out more than ten feet and came directly to the surface of the buried river. Like a piece of wood floating in the "water", Chen Ping'an stopped.
Finally, after adapting to this strange environment of flying high in the void, he would float forward very far with a little tip of his toes. Chen Ping'an leaned forward and dabbled on the water surface of the buried river, as if he was a mountain god flying in the wind, or a pure creature.
The far-reaching realm of Wufu’s eighth realm.
Sleeves fluttering, traveling far away in the wind.
Chen Ping'an didn't know yet at the moment, but by various coincidences, this was the prototype of the Yin Shen of the Qi Practitioner.
Reborn, the spirit and energy are condensed, and there is a body outside the body. He is the Yang God and loves the light.
A thought that clears the spirit, goes out of the darkness and into the underworld, without restraint, it is a Yin god, who likes to wander at night.
Visit the Water Temple at night.
Chen Pingan felt that even just taking a look would be enough, and he would come back as soon as he went.
As for Chen Ping'an by the river, he closed his eyes and performed the Sword Furnace Technique with both hands.
Although one is sitting and the other is wandering, the two are integrated.
What the Yin Shen saw and felt after leaving the body, Chen Ping'an, who closed his eyes while practicing sword furnace staking, saw it clearly and was completely immersed in it.
The great road is mysterious, and the mysterious is mysterious again.
It wasn't until this moment that Chen Pingan finally understood why practitioners would stay away from the human world, devote themselves to cultivating Taoism, climb high and look far away. The scenery in the eyes of these Qi practitioners was already high up in the world.
At this moment, Chen Pingan by the river seemed to be practicing the sword furnace, but in fact he continued to close his eyes and visualize the long bridge in his heart.
Compared with the two times at Lotus Flower Blessed Land, it is much more stable. Although I still feel that I can't walk there and cross the river.
But it should be possible to climb the bridge and watch the river. If it weren't for Zhu Lian beside him, Chen Ping'an would have walked up and tried it.
I had this visualization tonight because I thought about whether a gentleman saves or not save, and also thought about the relationship between saving others and saving oneself.
Taking Pei Qian with him, Chen Pingan just asked her to read and endorse, and did not say any truth that he had figured out. But as long as he looked at Pei Qian's every move, word and deed, like looking at himself in the mirror, Chen Pingan couldn't help but
Able to introspect. Chen Pingan himself often does not feel deeply about many of the contents in books and cannot understand the true meaning. But when Pei Qian is around, Chen Pingan will think more. For example, a gentleman should examine himself three times every day, restrain himself and return to etiquette, and be cautious in independence...
Reading thousands of volumes will lead to enlightenment.
Wonderful.
Pei Qian has already recited the first book by heart. It seems that after today's night tour of the Water Temple, Pei Qian can start reading the second book.
I don’t read too much, I just read a few words into my stomach.
This is not the truth. You can talk to Pei Qian about it, but I guess she will just turn a deaf ear to it.
According to legend, there once was a monk who was not very literate, but he only read one sutra and became a Buddha.
————
On the bank of the buried river, there were two people flying like a rainbow, their silhouettes were blurry, they disappeared in a flash, and they hurried downstream.
After they saw the three people by the river, they nodded slightly, which was regarded as saying hello.
Only when they disappeared into the night did Zhu Lian look back.
It turned out that after returning to the inn, the master and the apprentice, who had changed into Taoist robes, only told Yao Zhen that they had something to go out tonight and could return to the inn before dawn.
Yao Zhen will not stop him, in fact he cannot stop him. The two Liu family members stationed at the border are worshippers. Even Yao Zhen, who is the head of the Yao family cavalry family, does not know their backgrounds, the origins of their sects, and Yao Zhen.
He even doubted whether the pair of Taoist masters and disciples were directly obeying the emperor's orders. They not only prevented the Northern Jin monks from assassinating themselves and causing unrest in the border troops, but also monitored the movements of the Yao family's border troops. After all, he also had a minister who had just resigned from the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
's in-laws.
For this reason, Yao Zhen privately asked Yao Jinzhi whether he wanted to deliberately make friends with the two priests. He did not expect them to protect the Yao family who would flourish in Mirage City in the future, and at least take the opportunity to form a good relationship.
.
She disagreed, saying that the two of them had special status and must not win over each other without authorization. If the ministers serve the emperor, if the emperor is wise and the ministers are the most intelligent, they should not even think about the emperor's heart. It is useless to think too much, but this is just to say
The Yao family's border ministers, those close to the emperor, are a different matter. Yao Zhen was a little unconvinced. The family's life was hanging by a thread twice. If Chen Ping'an hadn't rescued him twice, he would have been dead long ago, and he might have been imprisoned.
If a person who has secretly collaborated with an enemy country and conspired to usurp the throne still wants to be clean and accommodating, but when he arrives at Mirage City and is surrounded by countless troops, wouldn't it be even more dangerous and unpredictable?
Yao Zhen thought of the county guard disciple who got off his horse and became a civil servant, and felt awkward for a moment. Could it be that, as his granddaughter said, he would have to deal with such little bastards frequently in the future?
Yao Jinzhi said with a smile that on the contrary, after my little aunt married into the capital, our Yao family still thought about cleaning up the family and abiding by the ancestral family laws in everything. It was wrong. When we arrived in Mirage City, the prerequisite for accepting grandpa in the court was
Next, it is right to continue to protect oneself wisely. If the Yao family competes with those powerful nobles and nobles for their strength and skills, the Yao family will never be able to gain a foothold in the capital, but it does not mean that they will do nothing and let others manipulate them.
Yao Jinzhi said a famous Zen saying, "Walking to a waterless place, sit down and watch the clouds rise."
Yao Zhen couldn’t help but sigh.
When Yao Jinzhi was still young, he used his father's mouth to raise objections to his grandfather Yao Zhen about his aunt marrying Li Xiling, who was kneeling outside the Yao family's ancestral hall on a snowy day. Basically, he said that the Yao family had followed the rules that had been followed for hundreds of years.
Once an exception is made to the ancestral rules, the Yao family knows that the true love between the two people can be learned from it, but outsiders don't care about it, Mirage City doesn't care about it, and His Majesty the Emperor doesn't care about it either. Since the ancestral rules of the Yao family are not allowed to marry wealthy people, since it is an exception,
So will the Yao family's border troops, who are loyal to the Liu family, make an exception again?
Without one, there is no two. But with one, two, three, and four will follow one after another. This is common sense.
Grandpa, if I, Yao Jinzhi, were an outsider, I would wonder if Mr. Yao felt too aggrieved to live in a corner.
When the old general heard this, his face was full of anger, but his heart was filled with sadness and anger.
Yao Jinzhi looked calm, handed his grandfather a cup of tea, and said with a smile: "General, drinking alcohol can boost your heroism, but when you get to Mirage City and your grandfather becomes an official, you should drink tea instead."
Yao Zhen took the tea cup angrily and drank it all in one gulp, still drinking.
Yao Jinzhi smiled sweetly.
————
The figures of the two Taoists on the riverside were as erratic as two wisps of smoke, far faster than the speed of galloping horses.
This pair of Taoist masters and disciples, the old man was born in a side sect of Taoism, named Jindingguan. Don’t think that the word side sect is not pleasant, in fact it is already very remarkable. The Taoist Dongfu sect other than the sect with the prefix Zong is qualified to be among the side sects.
Not many in one continent.
Jindingguan Taoist priests like to enter the world to cultivate their minds, and their number is small, less than a hundred. Moreover, once they enter the world, they often remain anonymous and do not like to rely on their patrons and ancestors.
The current owner of Jinding Temple is five hundred years old. He is a genuine Nascent Soul Earth Immortal and has a great reputation in the northern part of Tongyezhou.
The old man's common name is Yin Miaofeng, and his Taoist name is Taoist Baozhen, which is taken from the saying "Long-lived and long-sighted, whole-nature Baozhen", and he belongs to the lineage of Jinding Temple masters.
The only direct disciple, Shao Yuanran, was Yin Miaofeng who met the young Shao Yuan by chance after he came down from the mountain to enter the world. It took him a full fourteen years before he decided to become his disciple. During this period, Taoist Baozhen set up three major exams, and Shao Yuanran passed them all. His character and talent were undoubtedly outstanding.
He is a superior person.
Shao Yuanran followed Taoist Baozhen to Jinding Temple, met with the temple owner, and paid homage to the portrait hanging in the ancestral hall. His name was included in the family genealogy, and he officially became a late-generation disciple of Jinding Temple. Finally, he followed his master to Jinding Temple.
In the Daquan Dynasty, the master and the apprentice joined forces to serve the Liu family and were responsible for keeping an eye on the border of southern Xinjiang for ten years.
Even though Shao Yuanran, who looks like a tree in the wind, looks no older than his age, he is actually already in his forties.
Both the master and the disciple are monks in the Longmen realm. Taoist Baozhen thinks that there is no hope for the golden elixir in this life. Shao Yuanran's qualifications are far better than him. At such an age, he has become a Longmen realm above Guanhai. He is really a genius in cultivation. The master of the temple heard that Shao Yuanran was in Daquan.
After the border was breached, he specially sent people down the mountain and gave him a magical weapon from the master's sect. He also promised Shao Yuanran that if he succeeded in reaching the Golden Core realm, he would also receive a treasure that has been passed down for thousands of years, waiting for Shao Yuanran to come back to the mountain to get it as a celebration.
present.
Therefore, Yin Miaofeng hopes to use the strong foundation of the Daquan Liu family to help Shao Yuanran make further progress and become a golden elixir guest, so that he can become an immortal.
Under the golden elixir, a qi practitioner is still in two cages: big and small.
Regarding General Yao Zhen's appointment in Beijing, Shao Yuanran held back for a long time, but tonight he finally asked: "Master, did Yao really escape like this?"
Yin Miaofeng asked: "Why, so disappointed? The Yao family can escape unharmed, and Yao Jinzhi can continue to live her stable life. Maybe when she gets to Mirage City, she will soon marry into a wealthy family, the Hou Men
It's as deep as the sea and it's hard to see each other again, so you feel unhappy?"
Shao Yuanran shook his head and said with a smile: "Disappointment is inevitable, but we just need to practice cultivation and let nature take its course. If the Yao family is destroyed, the disciples will protect Yao Jinzhi and protect him under their wings. But since the Yao family has overcome the difficulties, it means that I
The fate with Yao Jin has not come yet, so there is no need to force it, there will be opportunities in the future."
Yin Miaofeng smiled and said: "There are often thousand-year-old trees in the mountains, and there are few centenarians in the world. Yao Jinzhi is not a practitioner. Now she is so beautiful that it is normal for your heart to be moved. But twenty years later, even if the opportunity comes, she will already be
You old woman with a yellowish face, if you were lucky at that time, you might have become a land fairy, and you would still be attracted to a mortal woman with withered colors?"
Shao Yuanran smiled and said, "We'll talk about it then."
Shao Yuanran was silent for a moment, then the wind whistled in his ears, and he asked: "Master, what is the reason for our sudden visit to Biyou Mansion? Is it related to the Feijian message from the capital received yesterday?"
Yin Miaofeng smiled calmly and said: "It's not a small matter anyway."
Shao Yuanran smiled helplessly. Since the master did not want to say more, he could only suppress his curiosity.
Biyou Mansion is the residence of the buried river god, similar to the Jinhuang Mansion where the third prince escorted prisoners.
It's just that Jin Huang's mansion has lost its owner, and now it's mostly filled with mountain spirits and ghosts.
After this battle, the fortunes of the Northern Jin Dynasty were seriously damaged. Jinhuangshan Shenfu Lord will soon be escorted to Mirage City. The Songzhen Lake Water Temple, which has been in tit-for-tat for hundreds of years, collapsed even earlier. The Water God
The remnants of the temple were only a few soldiers and generals, and they were insignificant. The Northern Jin Dynasty was lucky if they could not disturb the place.
However, Shao Yuanran burst into laughter when he remembered something. The lady of the mountain god who had just been married into the house by Lord Jinhuang and became a prisoner in the blink of an eye. This woman was really unlucky. She thought that a husband and wife could love each other for hundreds of years, which was far better than the world.
The man and woman in love never imagined that this would end like this, but they just didn't know how Mirage City would deal with her.
But these nonsense and trivial matters in the world are just interesting things on the path of spiritual practice.
What Shao Yuanran saw in his eyes was the carefree life of the earthly immortals, and what he thought in his heart was immortality, living as long as heaven and earth.
Shao Yuanran's heart was full of pride. There was no one on either side of the river, so he laughed and said: "Master, I'm going to learn how to walk across the river like that giant dragon!"
The young Taoist priest from Jinding Temple floated to the surface of the river and stepped on the water. Every time he stepped on the river, there was a huge splash, but not a drop of water touched his Taoist robe.
Yin Miaofeng was still floating by the river. He glanced at the beautiful appearance of his proud disciple on the river, laughed and cursed in a low voice: "You brat, you will become a land god in the future, how can you do that?!"
————
Chen Ping'an only roughly knew the distance and direction of the Water Temple, but fortunately he only needed to keep an eye on both sides along the river.
According to Yao Zhen and Yao Jinzhi's respective accounts, the temple buried in the river three hundred miles away from the post house was built on an unknown hill by the river. The slope is gentle. The temple fair is held from the first to the fifteenth day of March every year.
There are more than a hundred incense fairs to honor the gods and perform performances, which is very lively. dignitaries from nearby states and counties will give out porridge and tea during the temple fair.
Yao Zhen said with emotion at that time, "For the gods of mountains and rivers, opening a mansion is the first threshold. If you can upgrade your mansion to a palace, then you will truly achieve enlightenment."
It is no different from a fairy family on a certain mountain who obtained that sect name.
Yao Jinzhi highlighted another wonder of the Water Temple. There is a statue of the Goddess of Inspiration enshrined in the side hall. She prays for children and is famous all over the world. Almost every day, women come from afar, mostly from wealthy families, to have children.
If you are in a difficult situation, you can come to this side hall of the Water Temple, kowtow, burn incense, and donate some money. Then you can ask the old woman who prays for a small clay doll with a red thread around its waist and tie it to your wrist. Once you return home, you will have a child.
Go back and repay the vow, but the clay doll you take home cannot be thrown away, but must be enshrined as a way to repay the kindness of the Queen of Inspiration.
But what Chen Ping'an really wanted to see was the more than two hundred large white jade steles erected in front of the Water Temple. Most of them were the burials of the river gods in history after they helped the Liu family of Daquan calm down the drought. The imperial court and literati paid tribute to the buried river gods.
beautiful essay.
In less than two hours, Chen Ping'an, who kept looking around, "drifted" along the water of the buried river and finally arrived at the mountain beside the river.
It was dark at night and the gate of the Water Temple was closed, but Chen Pingan could still see the bright lights over there from a distance. This was why Chen Pingan saw the Water Temple at a glance.
Chen Ping'an suddenly realized what he looked like. Although Pei Qian and Zhu Lian couldn't see it, what if there were Qi practitioners in the middle and fifth realms over there at the Water God Temple? Would they see through it at a glance and regard him as a troublemaker who haunts the night?
demon?
This made Chen Pingan hesitate.
Is it possible that we have to travel three hundred miles by water in vain? Including the way back, it is six hundred miles.
However, after much deliberation, Chen Ping'an, who was floating in the middle of the Buried River, still decided to try to land on the shore. The worst result would be to glance at the water temple gate from a distance, alert the temple priest or the monks here, and be hunted down three times.
Baili had no choice but to ask Yao Zhen, the old general at the post house, to come forward and explain.
At this moment, a familiar voice sounded in my ears, "Yin Shen Yeyou? Chen Ping'an, aren't you a pure martial artist? Can you still be reasonable?"
Chen Pingan turned around and looked around, dumbfounded.
Thirty steps away, there was a scholar in a green shirt squatting on the river, holding a lot of hair with both hands, as if trying to pull someone out of the river.
It's none other than Zhong Kui.
Chen Ping'an came to Zhong Kui and asked, "What is this?"
Zhong Kui raised his head and said with a smile: "I was fighting for space at the Water Temple just now. I thought that after dawn, I could burn some incense and pray for God's blessing, so that Jiuniang would be more pleasing to me."
Chen Pingan pointed to the hair in Zhong Kui's hand, "I'm talking about this."
Zhong Kui rolled his eyes and said: "What else could it be, the unjust water ghost buried in the river? It should have been attracted by your Yin Shen. If it eats you, your cultivation level will skyrocket. I saw it poking its head, and its face turned out to be...
It's not as ugly as ordinary water ghosts, but rather watery and handsome. I just want to discuss it with this female ghost and come out to chat with me."
Because Zhong Kui was not the yin god and yang god who traveled far away from his body that night, with his majestic energy flowing out wantonly. Tonight, he was like an inn, deliberately concealing his energy. Therefore, the water ghosts at the bottom of the river did not sink their heads like that night.
He trembled when he entered the deepest part of the water. Otherwise, even if Zhong Kui only got close to the Water Temple, the ghost buried in the river would probably be gone.
Zhong Kui's two sleeves contain the chilling autumn wind, but it doesn't matter whether you are a water ghost who died unjustly or an evil ghost who suffered retribution.
Chen Ping'an looked at the female ghost Qingsi in Zhong Kui's hand, and then looked at Zhong Kui who was tug of war with the female ghost.
Chen Pingan asked: "Is it fun?"
Zhong Kui nodded.
Chen Pingan turned his head and looked at the water temple in the distance.
Zhong Kui let go of his hair, and the shadows under the river disappeared in a flash, as if he had received an amnesty.
Zhong Kui stood up, put his hand on Chen Ping'an's shoulder, and said with a smile: "You'll know if it's fun or not if you look carefully."
The two suddenly fell into the river.
The Yin God travels at night and sees everything in the world as bright as day.
Even in the river, at a glance, his vision is still unobstructed, and his eyesight is on par with Chen Ping'an's true body's martial arts cultivation.
Chen Ping'an had seen many ghosts and ghosts, but this was the first time he felt...disgusting.
Not far away is the water temple and the people with lights.
But that's it. Under the river water, around Chen Ping'an and Zhong Kui, there were densely packed water ghosts "standing". They were motionless. Most of them were wearing snow-white clothes, with their dark hair covering their faces, falling straight to the ground.
Around her waist, she looks like a reserved lady going out to the streets, wearing a power hat commonly known as a virgin hat.
Not only that, Chen Pingan looked down and saw a pair of silver-white eyes as big as lanterns, extremely cold, staring at the two of them but unable to see clearly its body.
There is at least a mile between the two sides, but those eyes are still so huge. You can imagine how huge this thing is if you look at it up close.
Zhong Kui smiled and said: "It and the water ghosts were all attracted to you, but they didn't dare to speak. Once you come here, although the Yin God is just a prototype, it is still a little unusual, so they don't dare to act rashly.
, just because they are greedy, they keep gathering together. Moreover, they have evil intentions, hoping that you can alarm the monster at the bottom of the river and fight so that they can get a share of the pie. As a result, you happened to stop at the Water Temple, and you
Don't move any more, the monster down there is probably going to explode with rage, and he doesn't dare to act rashly. After all, the Biyou Mansion where the River Goddess is buried is not that far from here."
They come, the security.
Chen Pingan looked around as if he was admiring the scenery.
Zhong Kui was also looking around and shouted: "That pretty water ghost girl just now, are you still there? If you don't want to continue being this water ghost, I can slap you to death. As for whether I can
I can't guarantee reincarnation, but it won't be difficult to help you escape from the shackles of that monster at the bottom of the river and no longer have to help it do evil and harm others."
The pair of lanterns became slightly larger.
Chen Ping'an subconsciously squinted his eyes.
It's like when I was fishing for eels on the edge of a field when I was a kid, I happened to see one, and its head and body slowly swam out.
This monster buried in the river, according to a rough estimate, is actually bigger than the two black and white snakes and pythons in Qidun Mountain.
Chen Pingan asked: "Does the god who buried the river water ignore it?"
Zhong Kui said with a smile: "No matter what? No matter what, the reason why this grumpy Water Goddess doesn't like to show up is that she has tried to kill this demon again and again. She has injured the foundation of the golden body three times, almost every thirty or forty years.
, I have to teach this monster a lesson. In a hundred years, there will even be a real life-and-death fight. The worst one, the golden body of the Water Temple was cracked, and most of Biyou Mansion was submerged."
Chen Ping'an was even more surprised, "The imperial court doesn't try its best to encircle and suppress it? If the Daquan imperial court can't do it, your academy won't care?"
Zhong Kui held the back of his head with both hands, "The world is not simple. This water monster can survive to this day not only because of its Taoism, but also because of its brains. Besides, the middle part of Tongye Continent is so big, and Dafu Academy is so big."
There are even fewer people who can kill this monster. Scholars in the academy should cultivate their moral integrity, study and learn every day. They are very busy and strive to be a sage, a gentleman, a saint, and be able to do what they did in the Middle-earth Divine Continent.
There is a statue of a great sage in the Confucian Temple. Besides studying, he has many things to do. Besides, there is a gentleman waiting for him in the Daquan Dynasty."
Chen Pingan nodded, understanding in his heart.
During the trip to Ouhua Blessed Land, I had a panoramic view of all kinds of things in the world.
All Zhong Kui had to say was that there had been a gentleman from the academy who had been in charge of the Daquan Dynasty for a long time, and Chen Ping'an would have revealed that there was also a sectarian dispute in the academy.
But Zhong Kui then opened Chen Ping'an's eyes, pointing to the pair of lanterns at the bottom of the river and said: "Try glaring at me again? Believe it or not, I will skin you and cramp you, and send it to the buried river god as a gift?"
The water monster slowly retreated.
The water ghosts then dispersed.
Chen Pingan asked: "Congratulations?"
Zhong Kui nodded and said: "The reason why I came here is that I got the news that Mihe Biyou Mansion will be upgraded to Biyou Palace in an exception. Daquan Liu's decision has been approved by our academy. In fact, the Daquan Dynasty originally did not have the qualifications to grant the title."
It is probably the work of the gentleman from Mirage City to mend the situation."
A river god with the title of "orthodox" must first be recognized by the court. The monarch issues a decree and canonizes him. The Ministry of Rites gives him a gold letter, a jade certificate, a silver certificate, and an iron certificate. After being included in the genealogy of a country's court, he is eligible to establish a temple.
To build a golden body and receive incense from the world, at the same time, you have to get the nod of approval from a nearby academy in a continent. Otherwise, it still belongs to the main temple of a country, but it is among the temples of obscenity in a continent. Some small temples of water gods in some places can be ignored, but
A large water temple would be regarded as incomplete, and would try its best to implore the emperor to ask the Confucian academy for a sage book, enshrine it, and share the incense.
As for which Confucian book is written by a saint, it can be decided according to the circumstances. Generally, the academies will give it to them, but there are also a few tough-minded and stubborn water gods who will choose a certain book by a certain saint.
Classics.
However, this kind of situation is rare, and it is rare in Tongyezhou in a thousand years. How can there be many water gods who dare to compete with the seventy-two academies in the world?
Zhong Kui did not tell Chen Ping'an all the truth. The reason why he joined in the fun and temporarily left Hu'er Town was because the notoriously irritable Water Goddess Empress of Biyou Mansion was not flattered by the fact that she was about to be promoted to the palace.
The Liu family and Dafu Academy burst into tears of gratitude, and instead threatened that she would have a certain saint's book sit in Shuishen Palace, otherwise she would just continue to hang the "Biyou Mansion" plaque.
And that sage's book has nothing to do with "sage" now.
This is what makes Daquan Liu collapse the most.
Because that book was written by a literary sage in the past.
When Zhong Kui heard that it was such a farce, he felt that he had to come to Biyou Mansion.
It's just that he didn't expect to meet Chen Ping'an, who was traveling far away.
