Chapter 920 Borrowing Thousands of Mountains and Thousands of Waters with the Lords (1)

Chen Pingan and Xiao Mili were inspecting the ferry, and two ferry stewards came towards them.

Dressed in a snow-white robe, Changshou. Because she wanted to participate in the celebration of the next sect, she temporarily served as the chief steward of Feng Yuan Ferry. She came over slowly, stopped, looked graceful, and gave Chen Ping'an a blessing, "See you there."

Pass the Young Master."

As the second steward of the ferry appointed by the young mountain master, Jia Lao Shenxian has tidied himself up from head to toe. He has a slim appearance, beard and hair like snow, and his energy has nourished his body. He has become more and more like a master from this world.

, the old immortal has finally moved out of the clothes that were packed in the box. Now he is wearing a Taoist robe, walking on cloud shoes, and a small jade chime at his waist. This thing was bought by a blind old Taoist priest from a grass-roots shop in Qilong Lane in the early years.

My favorite spiritual object is a jade chime with simple workmanship and a line of ancient seal characters inscribed with tiny characters: The heavenly wind blows the chime, and I recite the poem Huang Ting. The sound of gold and jade vibrates, and all the heavens respect each other.

Jia Sheng stood beside Chang Ming, slightly behind him, and greeted Chen Ping'an, saying respectfully: "Greetings to the mountain master."

As for the pair of lotus silk walking shoes on the old fairy's feet, they were one of the gifts given by Mr. Xiao Mo.

Chen Ping'an smiled and explained: "I just took Xiao Mo with me to travel around the colorful world before I came back."

Jia Sheng said with regret on his face: "The mountain master's wife didn't come back together?"

Chen Pingan nodded, "She has to go into seclusion and can't escape. Besides, with her current status, she is not suitable for frequent travel between the two worlds."

The old god sighed, "It's a destiny of marriage. Yue Lao can arrange it easily. Even so, we still have to spend less time together and more separation. Both the mountain owner and his wife have worked hard."

Chen Ping'an just hummed, smiled and said nothing.

The commander, Changming, glanced at the young mountain master and said thoughtfully, "Master, do you have something to discuss?"

The first time the two parties met was in the old deaf boy's prison, which could also be regarded as the dojo of the criminal officer Hao Su.

There is a woman making clothes and a maid wearing gauze beside the stream. At first glance, they look like two beautiful village beauties.

Time flies, the sun and the moon fly by, and many years have passed without realizing it.

Back then, the two young sword cultivators who were thrown into prison by the boss swordsman each had their own destiny. Du Shanyin became the only direct disciple of Hao Su, and You Yu, with his simple temperament, became the disciple of the old deaf boy.

As the girl who was the incarnation of Guyu Qian Zuqian, she finally left the Great Wall of Sword Qi with her master Hao Su, changed her name to Jiqing, followed Du Shanyin, and traveled around the world together, and once appeared in the Night Ship Appearance City.

Back then, the white-haired boy once said the word "current" to help the "Ancestor Yin Guan" see their true appearance. He only said that Ji Qing, her skin showed an ancient and faint green color, and her forehead

It's like opening a small skylight. It's because when she was born with money, her words were like being chopped off, but the scars of the knife still remain.

Chen Pingan was about to speak but stopped.

Changsheng smiled and said: "Young Master, are you in urgent need of gold, fine copper coins?"

Hit the mark.

Chen Ping'an was no stranger to gold and copper coins. It could even be said that the young kiln worker in Mud Ping Alley had seen more gold and copper coins in the town than the real gold and silver circulating in the market.

In the past, there were three kinds of gold and copper coins used as passing money to enter Lizhu Cave Heaven, namely the Spring Festival Money, the Support Money and the Victory Money.

The first three types of mother coins were cast by the Mohist giants. Chen Pingan guessed that they were probably the work of Mr. Sanshan Jiuhou. Otherwise, the Dali Song family at that time was just a vassal state of the Lu family.

Far from being the one-state, one-continent Dali imperial court, with the Song family's meager background at that time, it was impossible to ask the Mo family's giants to help cast money.

These three kinds of money are the most beautiful gold and copper coins in the world. It was only because the Song Dynasty in Dali was very strict in the past that every bag of money was equal to leaving the money with the left hand and entering with the right hand, so it did not spread to other continents.

, when the Lizhu Cave Heaven shattered and fell to the ground, took root in the earth, and was downgraded from one of the thirty-six small caves to the rank of Blessed Land, some three kinds of gold and fine copper coins secretly minted by the Da Li court began to gradually disperse from the Song family's treasury.

The sound paid off part of the debt on the mountain.

According to the white-haired boy, the ancestral coins in the world often come in pairs. If they can manifest the great truth and develop spiritual wisdom, they will be the best couple in the world.

Chen Pingan stopped hiding it and said frankly: "My natal flying sword 'Jing Zhongyue', if I want to improve my rank, I have to refine it into a long river of time. Over there in Feisheng City, Ning Yao gave it to me.

A few, logically speaking, is enough for me to create a long river of time, but this kind of sword refining is not the same as ordinary situations, it is a bottomless pit."

Chang Ming smiled brightly and asked softly: "The more the better, it couldn't be simpler and clearer. Why should the young master be in trouble? Is it true that only the state officials are allowed to set fires and the common people are not allowed to light lamps? Or is it that we are in Luopo Mountain, so only the mountain master is allowed to do so?

One person is diligent and diligent, like a swallow carrying mud, replenishing household supplies, but others are not allowed to contribute even a small amount to the owner of the mountain?"

Chen Ping'an choked on his words for a moment.

In fact, this is not the truth. If it is just an ordinary exchange of money between gods and gods, of course Chen Pingan will not be embarrassed at all. It is just gold and copper coins. When it comes to the Taoist practice of longevity, Chen Pingan's sword refining well Zhongyue, the more the better, in fact, longevity

What's more, there is no other way to improve one's realm, which is to eat money, and only gold and copper coins. It's a bit like the gods of mountains and rivers, they can only rely on human incense to temper their golden bodies. In addition, all Taoist magic and magic in the world are false.

Changsheng asked with a smile: "As the master of Luopo Mountain, does Changsheng depend on his realm? Chief Zhou is an immortal swordsman, Miyu is about to become an immortal, Cui Zongzhu is an immortal, and Qilongxiang Konghou is an ascension realm.

, then how can I take care of it? Why don’t I just step down from the post of head supervisor and hand it over to Mi Da Sword Immortal who has broken through the realm?”

The words spoken by the owner of Luolu Mountain and Zhang Lu did not deliberately conceal anything, and they did not use their true feelings. It was obvious that they did not regard Old Immortal Jia as an outsider.

Jia Sheng heard it clearly from the sidelines, but just listening to it felt bad.

Fellow Taoist Changshou was angry.

And the first time he got angry, he actually went after our mountain master.

He is worthy of being the leader of Luo Luo Shan! How dare you leave yourself alone.

Changsheng continued: "The two unexpected gains before and after, if I had not followed the young master, or even if they were close at hand, how could Changsheng have pocketed any of them?"

In the Jianqi Great Wall Prison, after the Yin Guan and the Xing Guan finalized the matter, Chang Ming got a new identity. He once used his natal magical power to turn the corpses of the gods scattered in the world into golden sand, and piled them into mountains, big and small.

It is equivalent to a dragon-slaying cliff in Ning Mansion, and is quite impressive in scale. In the end, the golden sands that were polished by the long river of time from the remains of the gods were attached to the clothes of longevity, and condensed into a priceless rare robe.

Why did Changsheng seem to have such great opportunities so close at hand, but in the long years, she never got involved in the slightest? Of course, it was not appropriate for her to act like this, and she did not dare to act like this, even if she was one of the executioner's maids at that time.

One, but if the boss Jianxian does not acquiesce and the old deaf child does not allow it, these private properties belonging to the Great Wall of Sword Qi, including Xingguan Haosu and Changsheng, cannot be taken away.

According to the estimation of the demon outside the world, the veritable "Golden Mountain", placed in the Qingming world, can refine the pure golden bodies of three or four river gods and mountain gods.

The second time was in Luopo Mountain. Jun Qian, the mountain master's senior brother, once had a fist fight with the remnant of the transboundary gods in the Aquarius Continent on the Beiyue boundary, causing heavy golden rains.

At that time, in the prison of Jianqi Great Wall, Changsheng was far closer to the young Yinguan than Ji Qing. It was a kind of blessed soul that was in harmony with the great road.

Chen Ping'an could only say: "Then I won't be polite to you. We will discuss the specific matters when we return to Xiandu Mountain."

Seeing Chang Ming's doubts, Chen Ping'an explained: "I'm going to take Xiao Mo on another long trip soon."

Xiaomi Li has been standing quietly beside the good man Mountain Master.

Chen Ping'an touched the little girl's head and said with a smile: "I owe this trip to the protector You's unintentional words."

Beiju Luzhou, Sanlang Temple, and the back alley restaurant.

Just because Yuan Xuan asked a few more questions about Yin Guan, the atmosphere became solemn.

Liu Xu still maintained the posture of covering the wine bowl with his palm, and asked with a smile: "We are old acquaintances? How do you say it?"

Fan Yu gathered his voice and asked: "Grandpa Liu, there is really no need to inform Sanlang Temple?"

Yuan Ying's old sword cultivator said in his heart: "It's okay. It's not even a misunderstanding. There's no need to make a fuss about it."

In fact, Liu has his own concerns.

Don't offend anyone like Liu Xu, a stubborn person.

When it's easy to talk, everything is easy to discuss. When it's hard to talk, let alone Yuan Xuan's great-grandfather, I'm afraid even the head of the Liu family in Luomahe can't stop Liu Xu. So don't make things worse, just wait and see what happens.

However, it can be seen that from the beginning to the end, Liu Xu, who only called the man "Second Shopkeeper" and never "Yin Guan", did not disrespect Chen Pingan.

What's only slightly better than a nod of acquaintance?

Who believes it?

Only Yuan Xuan still acted like a normal person and asked with a smile: "Uncle Liu, I heard that Chen Yinguan is both a swordsman and a great martial arts master?"

According to the list of that year, as one of the ten young people in the world, the last hidden official of the Sword Qi Great Wall was a Nascent Soul sword cultivator and a mountain top warrior.

Liu Xu moved his hand away, picked up a piece of spicy and sour Chinese cabbage with chopsticks, nodded and said: "When we first arrived at the Great Wall of Sword Qi, the second shopkeeper was not actually a swordsman, but his boxing skills were indeed very high. I heard Huang Shou say that the second shopkeeper

The shopkeeper first visited the Sword Qi Great Wall when he was a boy. He seemed to have lost three games to Cao Ci. Later, when he returned to the Sword Qi Great Wall, Cao Ci had already left the hut at the top of the city. However, the second shopkeeper defeated Yu Xuanfu from the Mysterious Dynasty of Middle Earth.

I witnessed the whole process with my own eyes in both boxing competitions."

Yuan Xuan asked again: "Does Guan Chen Yin like to carry a sword and wear a robe?"

Liu Xu no longer drank, he just picked up vegetables, liked to chew slowly, and said slowly: "Normally, I don't wear robes, but when I go to the battlefield, I like to wear more. Many local sword cultivators in the Great Wall of Sword Qi, especially

As the younger generation, they have learned from others. They no longer think it is a dishonorable thing. It is important to save their lives, and maybe they can earn more military exploits. As for how many robes the second shopkeeper wears at most, it has always been a mystery.

.At that time, the second shopkeeper had already gone to the summer palace to serve as a hidden official, so I couldn't ask him."

"The saying 'Nan Shou Chen Bei Yin Guan' is not widely circulated now. You will understand the meaning of this saying in the future."

"On the battlefield, I would rather meet Ning Yao than Yin Guan. It's no joke."

"In addition to Li Zhen, the close disciple of the Great Ancestor of Tuoyue Mountain, there are also the Sword Immortal embryos from Jiashen Zhang. Each one has a more hidden background than the last and has a bigger background. After a deliberate siege, the second shopkeeper also suffered a huge loss.

It’s a bitter experience. Moreover, the sword cultivator Fei Ran, who is now the co-master of the wild wilderness, also plotted against the second shopkeeper."

Doesn’t seem quite like it?

My impression is that he is a very polite person.

So they have the same name? And they have also been to Luzhou, Beiju. Is there really such a coincidence in the world?

Liu Xu frowned slightly and said, "Yuan Xuan, can't you speak more cheerfully?"

Yuan Xuan laughed loudly, then stopped going around in circles, and told Liu Xu the details of his trip to the Ghost Valley, and how he met the sword-carrying knight wearing a bamboo hat and a robe at the Bronze Green Lake.

, I also invited the other party to go fishing together. It can be seen that the other party and his "Yuan Yichi" are genuine comrades. During that trip, Yuan Xuan not only went for the silverfish, but also wanted to catch a fish.

The silver carp, known as the "little lake dragon" planted on the mountain, grows one pound a year. After a hundred years, it will grow two "dragon whiskers" that grow one inch every three hundred years. When it grows to one foot, the carp can walk

Jiang turned into a dragon... and the young ranger who was both a pure martial artist and a swordsman, acted seasonedly and dealt with people flawlessly. When the two parties parted, he even praised himself as... an old Jianghu!

When Liu Xu heard this, he smiled and said, "The second shopkeeper is just being polite to you, don't take it seriously."

Yuan Xuan was so exhausted that he took a long sip of wine.

Fan Yu and Lao Jianxiu looked at each other and smiled, Liu Xu was indeed right.

Probably believing the young man's words, Liu Xu put down his chopsticks, raised his bowl, faced the three of them, didn't say anything, and just drank it all in one gulp.

Yuan Xuan also followed suit and drank half a bowl of Qingshenshan wine in one go.

The two retinues were relieved and raised their wine bowls to drink ten cents together.

"Xiao Xuan, when you have time, take Brother Liu and Miss Fan to the Luoma River as guests."

Liu Xu stood up, clasped his fists and said goodbye, and finally said with a smile: "Remember to pay."

Yuan Xuan waited until Uncle Liu walked out of the small restaurant, then took a deep breath. Obviously, he was not as relaxed as he appeared.

The old man laughed in his heart and said: "Master, now you can feel the power of a Yuanying Realm Bottleneck Sword Immortal, right?"

Yuan Xuan nodded vigorously.

Uncle Liu just now seemed so strange to the young man.

Man walking alone in the alley.

Some things, like drinking, have great stamina.

It's like going to the Great Wall of Sword Qi.

————

The Qiufeng Temple in Aquarius Continent that has not yet been occupied by anyone, a strange ferry boat drifting on the sea, the sea view tower in Jinjia Continent where ancient immortals gave opportunities to the mountain city, and the hidden road in Fuyao Continent that contains endless business opportunities and wealth.

Mineral veins, in the four seas, many old Dragon Palace sites and immortal mansion sites that have been lost for many years are constantly emerging...

This is the result of the Haoran World bordering on the Barbarian World, and then briefly connecting with the Qingming World.

There is a female Sword Immortal from Xin Yu Long Sect who came to settle the bill with Yun some time ago.

It’s Nalan Caihuan from the Great Wall of Sword Qi.

This brings relief to Cloud Signing, which has been struggling in recent years.

Handling sect affairs was really not what Yun Xuan was good at, so Yun Xuan did not hesitate to follow the secret agreement made in the early years and voluntarily resigned as the head of the sect without saying a word, giving way to an outsider named Nalan Caihuan, while he became the patriarch of the law.

Fortunately, today's Yulong Sect is no longer the big, conservative sect it used to be. The sect's ancestral precepts and the old system of the ancestral hall have long been in vain. In addition, the "former sect master" Yun Tiao is the only one who has reached the fifth realm.

The monks, coupled with Nalan Caihuan's background and swordsmanship level, were clearly there, so the change of sect leader was relatively smooth.

Nalan Caihuan also brought a group of confidant monks to join the Yulong Sect. There were only six of them, three sword cultivators, three ghost cultivators, and all six were earth immortals.

Only a simple and scrawled ceremony for the resignation and succession of the sect leader was held in the newly built Patriarch Hall.

To be honest, Yun Zhuan could not invite any important monks. In his early years, he took his sect disciples to travel to the three eastern continents and did not accumulate much love on the mountain.

Today, a meeting in the Patriarch Hall has ended, and all the monks who have seats have dispersed, and they have gone back to their respective homes. The advantage of having a small number of people in the sect is that a monk in the Dragon Gate Realm can easily occupy a large island on the sea and open a dojo.

Only one sect leader remained.

Nalan Caihuan was currently sitting on the leader's chair, with his legs crossed carelessly, bouncing and flipping through a thin book of landscape genealogies.

In the early years in the Chunbanzhai counting house, I had the same moral character. Who could care?

Of course, Nalan Caihuan would only restrain himself a little when someone came to Daixuanshan to check the accounts.

In fact, when Nalan Caihuan came to the Yulong Sect's first Ancestral Hall meeting, everyone had no objections as soon as they heard her name.

Of course, it’s not that I don’t mean it at all, but I don’t dare to have it, or I don’t dare to have any expression on my face. If Nalan Caihuan sees it, God knows whether I will be beaten by a Nascent Soul Realm bottleneck sword immortal.

, chopped to death on the spot and thrown out to feed the fish?

Can I tell you the truth? Nalan Caihuan's flying sword and realm, as well as her consistent acting style, are the silent truth on the table.

You must know that on the battlefield of the new sect master's hometown, Nalan Caihuan, Qi Shou, and Mi Yu, who earned the nickname "Mi Ban Yao" in the Nascent Soul Realm, all used the same method of killing monsters, extremely bloodthirsty, violent and cruel,

None of the demon monks who fell into their hands met a good end.

Therefore, Nalan Caihuan and Yunzhuan, who was gentle by nature and soft-spoken, were the two sect masters, and they were like heaven and earth.

Nalan Caihuan read the genealogy of the Patriarch Hall with only a few cats and dogs in a few glances. She had no choice but to read it again. She squinted at the cloud sign and asked with a smile: "I heard that you have searched for Shuijing Palace several times?"

Yun Zhuan felt a little guilty and said with a shy face, "It's all in vain."

Nalan Caihuan was furious, "Do you think that the wild monsters are all fools who don't pick up their treasures on the ground? Yun Zhuan, I, the sect master, am truly lucky to have you as the master of law."

Yun Zhuan blushed slightly and said nothing.

Even if she has heard sarcastic remarks, she has heard them all her life, from the former sect leader and sister, to the members of the Yulong Sect’s Ancestral Master Hall, even some well-qualified juniors, and even from within the Shuijing Palace...

In the early years of the Yulong Sect, the Shuijing Palace built in the Xuanxuan Mountain was knocked over by Jiang Yunsheng, the gatekeeper of the Xuanxuan Mountain, and fell into the sea. Although he knew that the possibility of her finding the Shuijing Palace was extremely slim, Yunshuan still harbored some concerns.

Fortunately, I used the water-repelling method several times and dived into the seabed, but I couldn't find any trace.

In a sect, apart from Yun Zhuan, the Jade Purity monk who supports the scene, there are only five Earth Immortal monks, four Golden Cores, and only one Nascent Soul.

Currently, there are only more than ninety genealogy monks recorded in the Ancestral Hall. This is because the islands of the old sects and vassals have been gathered together by cloud seals, otherwise the situation would be even more bleak.

Among them, the old Yuanying, when Yunzhuan was trying to win over her a few years ago, actually added insult to injury and shamelessly made a suggestion, saying that as long as she became a Taoist companion with Yunzhuan, he would be willing to serve as the leader of the New Yulong Sect.

If she couldn't save face by confiscating all his family assets, then he would take a step back and have a few nights of spring supper, and it would be fine.

If the Yulong Sect, which had always respected female monks in its early years, and a Nascent Soul monk from a vassal force dared to speak so freely, he would be seeking death.

Yun Zhuan also knew that he was indeed too weak in character and lacked the realm. Otherwise, he would not have been the decisive and decisive senior sister who was sent to Daoxuan Mountain and was only in charge of a water essence palace in name.

Yun Zhuan never intervened in the specific business dealings. The monks in charge were all close confidants of the senior sister. The so-called annual review of the account books was just a formality. It was ridiculous to say that Yun Zhuan was mainly worried that he would appear to be too careless.

, he will be scolded by his senior sister for not caring about the affairs of Shuijing Palace.

Nalan Caihuan smiled and said: "That old pervert was absent-minded just now. He didn't listen to what I said. He glanced at you often with a sneaky look. Did he talk to you or whisper something?"

Yunshui shook his head, "Nothing."

Nalan Caihuan frowned and said: "Yunshu, don't forget who is the sect leader now. Whatever I ask, you answer honestly."

Yun Zhuan still hesitated for a long time, and finally spoke vaguely. He only said that the former sect leader hoped that he could put aside the past grudges and work together from now on to make the Yulong Sect rise again.

Nalan Caihuan sneered and said: "If I don't come to be the master of this sect, with your little brains, sooner or later that old guy will get his way and he will bend over you as hard as you can."

Yunzhuan's face turned red and he was very angry. He glared at the female swordsman who spoke freely.

Nalan Caihuan clicked her tongue and looked at the Jade Pure Realm female cultivator from head to toe.

This girl Yunzhuan looks thin, but in fact she has a plump figure. She looks cold, but in fact she hides a naturally charming and charming appearance. She is probably a fox girl, not the kind who is always ostentatious.

Attract bees and butterflies.

Nalan Caihuan took out a bottle of wine, and before she started drinking, she started talking dirty words, "I

If I weren't a bitch, I would definitely be greedy for you, bathe you every day, and smear your whole body with halogen every night."

Yunzhan was so angry that he was shaking all over, holding the handle of the chair with both hands, and said angrily: "Nalan Caihuan, please be careful what you say!"

Hey, he didn't even call him the sect master, but called him by his first name. He seemed very angry.

Nalan Caihuan curled her lips and said, "It's really not a joke. If it's over there at the Great Sword Qi Wall, you'd have no choice but to hide and not go out."

Yunzhan took a deep breath and said, "Sect Master, don't make such jokes again."

Nalan Caihuan glanced at her ups and downs, then lowered his head at his own breasts, and whispered: "It's so irritating to compare people to each other."

Yunshui began to close his eyes and meditate.

Nalan Caihuan closed the genealogy booklet, wiped it across his neck, and said as if he was joking: "Yunshu, how about I help you get rid of this Nascent Soul that only eats and does nothing? It's meaningless to keep it, it's annoying and an eyesore."

The main reason is that he gets a large fixed salary for nothing every year, which makes Nalan Caihuan feel distressed just thinking about it.

Yun Zhuan immediately opened his eyes and said with a panicked expression: "You can't act so casually. Even if you just resign from his position in the Ancestral Master Hall, you need to find a legitimate reason, otherwise it will be difficult for our Yulong Sect to attract new worshipers and guests in the future.

Even if someone is willing to seek refuge with us, do we really dare to accept him?"

Yunzhuan looked serious and said in a deep voice: "Nalan Caihuan, although I am not good at business management, and I am not suitable to be a leader in charge of the overall situation, but I understand one truth. If something is slightly unsatisfactory, just use

It is absolutely not advisable to solve the problem by killing people. If you insist on doing this, I will not dare to let you continue to be the leader of the Yulong Sect no matter what. You may accuse me of usurping the throne or saying that I have betrayed my oath.

I want to make this clear to you. I would rather the Yulong Sect falls apart again and the monks are displaced. Even if I completely lose the title of the sect, I will never allow myself to hand over a sect to a monk who likes to kill indiscriminately.

I will never just watch the Yulong Sect go astray."

Nalan Caihuan leaned back, crossed her legs, and leaned on the back of the chair. She said nothing and tapped the handle of the chair with her two fingers in turn.

Yun Zhuan looked at her with firm eyes.

Nalan Caihuan suddenly smiled, "Okay, okay, I'm just joking to see how serious you are. That Nascent Soul, I will reason with him well, and I will definitely learn more from you and use a calm mind."

His attitude, pleasant expression, and gentle tone are guaranteed to not only put the fourth leader of the Yulong Sect at ease, but also make him useful to us, the Yulong Sect."

I must do what I say.

When she turned back, she found the old Yuanying and asked him if he wanted to die. Only fools wanted to die. The Yuanying was not a fool, so he definitely didn't want to. Then she could ask the second question, whether he could practice more in the future and replace him.

If the sect does more, it will make money. If you sign our palm, you will lose a few kilograms less. The old Yuanying may be duplicity, so give him a sword, a small injury, and no killing, then the old Yuanying will be able to

My memory has improved. I asked him one last question: Do you dare to leave the Yulong Sect secretly? Do you want to be a wild monk living in the wild all year round?

Yunzhuan asked tentatively: "Sect Master, are you really not joking?"

Nalan Caihuan was a little helpless. Just by calling him, he knew what Yun Zhuan was thinking.

Nalan Caihuan was a little reluctant to tease and bully her, so she changed her mind and said from her heart: "I am actually at the Yupu realm. From now on, I will wait for someone without eyes to bully the Yulong Sect so that I can fight with her."

They are just asking for a sword fight. Please remember to keep this matter confidential."

Yunzhuan quickly stood up and wanted to congratulate the sect master.

Nalan Caihuan laughed angrily and said, "I just told you to keep it secret. Sit back quickly!"

Yun Zhuan had no choice but to sit back on the chair obediently, with a cheerful expression on his face, as charming and innocent as a girl.

After Nalan Caihuan left the Jianqi Great Wall, he first went to the Shanshui Cave in Fuyaozhou, claiming to be from the Chunbanzhai of Hanging Mountain, and took over the sect. Then he started doing business with a nearby secular dynasty at the foot of the mountain. During this period, there was a

The local female cultivator named Gong Yan in Fuyao Island has a high level of Jade Pu Realm. However, in Nalan Caihuan's eyes, Haoran cultivators who come from the sect's genealogy are similar to Yun Zhuan. In someone's words, they are just

They are in the realm of paper and bamboo strips, but Gong Yan, the mother-in-law, is not good at fighting, but has a good business experience. They are kindred spirits. Both sides get what they need and hit it off immediately.

Anyway, Nalan Caihuan knew that Shanshui Cave was not a place to stay for a long time. She sold her belongings with her left hand and took back the fairy money and heavenly materials and earthly treasures with her right hand. She soon made a lot of money. Of course, she didn't dare to pocket all of it and only collected the money.

20% of the profit, and the rest was given to a gentleman who was in charge of money in the Confucian Temple. It seems that he has now been promoted and is working as the deputy head of an academy in Fuyaozhou. It’s not that Nalan Caihuan doesn’t have too much money, but he is worried about being settled by someone later.

.

Although the young hidden official did not restrict her in any way, Nalan Caihuan still knew how to make money and did not dare to cross the line.

After digging out the details of the Shanshui Cave, she traveled all the way north, going to Jinjia Continent and Liuxia Continent, traveling and buying and selling all the way.

Let’s just say that Nalan Caihuan carried six items with him, not to mention two items that were close to each other.

Nalan Caihuan asked with a smile: "Our hidden official has been very kind to you Yunshuan and Yulong Sect. Have you thought about how to repay him in the future?"

As soon as Yunzhuan heard about this, she seemed to have some opinions. However, just as she was about to speak, she heard Nalancai return to his old ways and began to say those inappropriate words, "It's better to be more straightforward... use your body to show off."

Xu? So what if you can’t see anyone? Isn’t it said that your Yulong Sect has an untold secret that is extremely difficult to successfully cultivate? I heard that even your senior sister failed to learn it, but it was you who stumbled upon it by mistake. Fools have it.

Shafu seems to be known as...'the warm tent of hibiscus, the realm of clouds and rain'?"

Yunzhuan sighed and simply stopped talking.

What a strategist and high self-standard that young hermit official was, but it's a pity that I haven't been able to see it with my own eyes so far.

Those who wander at night wear the stars and the moon.

For some reason, Yunzhuan had heard some rumors about the Sword Qi Great Wall. Whenever she imagined a young foreigner in a wine shop, amidst the bustle of people, she felt that he would look particularly lonely when he lowered his head to drink.

Yunzhuan and Nalan Caihuan walked out of the Patriarch Hall together with their own thoughts.

Within a few days, distinguished guests came to visit, and they were no strangers to Yun Zhuan. They were Shao Yunyan, the swordsman from Chunbanzhai, and the blushing lady from Meiyuanzi.

If we add the Liu family's Yuantou Mansion, the four private residences that were built on Hanging Mountain in the past will be completed.

Mrs. Rouyan is going to visit the Nantang Lake Qingmei Temple in Aquarius Island, intending to meet Zhou Qionglin.

Without the escort of the Sword Immortal, how could Mrs. Blushing dare to wander around alone?

So they passed by the Yulong Sect that had "changed dynasties". Madam Rouyan was very surprised that Nalan Caihuan had become the sect leader inexplicably. Shao Yunyan had known about this for a long time, so it was not surprising.

When they arrived at the Yulong Sect, Mrs. Yanyan chatted with Yunzhuan about the past, while Shao Yunyan and Nalan Caihuan walked side by side. In the past, in the accounting room of Chunfanzhai, besides the two of them, there was also Yan Ming. In addition, Wei Wenlong was the assistant, and Mi Dajianxian was in charge.

Look at the gate.

Shao Yunyan said with a smile: "Actually, it hasn't even been a few years, but I feel like I've been separated from this world."

Nalan Caihuan laughed it off. Apart from talking about money, Nalan Caihuan was not interested in anything else.

Shao Yunyan said something from his heart. Nalan Caihuan was shocked and blurted out: "What?! Seriously?!"

Chen Ping'an was actually able to carve words on the city wall?!

Shao Yunyan smiled and said: "Believe it or not, at worst, you can go back and take a look yourself. It's only a few steps anyway."

Nalan Caihuan sighed heavily and said helplessly: "Believe it or not, if you think about that guy, nothing strange will happen to him."

To be honest, Nalan Caihuan was really frightened of the young hidden official, who was no better than the blushing lady.

Both of them had suffered a lot at the hands of the other.

Does this guy have a grudge against a good-looking woman?

But he is very caring about Yun Dian.

Nalan Caihuan suppressed the shock in her heart and began to attract young men. She invited Shao Yunyan and Mrs. Rouyan to be the guests of his sect. Since they were all acquaintances, talking about money would hurt their feelings.

Relying on the many sword-raising gourds produced by the gourd vines, Shao Yunyan's swordsmanship skills would only be considered average if placed on the Sword Qi Great Wall, but he has a good network of connections in Haoran.

It doesn't matter to Shao Yunyan that he has an extra name as a guest minister. There are some monks in the upper five realms in the world who are good at making money and have a lot of titles as guest ministers. Mrs. Blushing Yan and Yun Xuan had a good relationship in their early years, and of course they had no objections.

Shao Yunyan did not stay in Yulongzong for a long time, but only stayed for two days, dragging the blushing lady who wanted to stay here to continue traveling across the sea.

During this period, they passed by Luhua Island Creation Cave, and Mrs. Rouyan started wandering around again. Shao Yunyan had to remind her: "Do you really think you are just sightseeing?"

Mrs. Blushing gave her a wink, "Guan Yin didn't give an exact deadline, so I'm not in a hurry."

The only good thing about getting along with Chen Pingan is that the business is fair and very refreshing.

Shao Yunyan finally stopped Mrs. Blushing, instead of going to the Yungu Sect's blessed land, he chose to take a cross-continental ferry halfway and go straight to the Old Dragon City of Aquarius Continent.

When they arrived at the boundary of Nantang Lake, Mrs. Yan Yan took a look at the withered plum trees. She stretched out her hand to rub the center of her brows and said: "It's too horrible to look at. How can one word be so terrible? Lord Yin Guan has given me a big problem."

"

Because of the bunch of gourd vines, Shao Yunyan is considered to be half an expert in cultivating plants and trees, and is even more knowledgeable than ordinary farm monks.

Shao Yunyan nodded and said: "You are indeed in trouble. If you really can't do it, don't force it. Lord Yin Guan won't mind."

The blushing lady smiled sweetly, "No? It's normal for Shao Jianxian not to be good. He's a man."

Shao Yunyan turned a deaf ear and just said: "Either you don't interfere, or if you really want to help Qingmei Temple restore its old appearance, you will spare no effort."

The blushing lady rolled her eyes and said, "What do you want me to say?"

The two of them rode the wind together across the water of Nantang Lake and went to the island where Qingmei Temple is located.

Falling down outside the gate of Qingmei Temple, the concierge was a young girl from the cave realm.

Mrs. Yan handed over two name cards that she had prepared a long time ago. They were made of red paper and had a line of characters written in gold and gold. "Mei Sou" means "Plum Blossom Master".

Shao Yunyan glanced at his name card and smiled helplessly, "Shao Shanshi. It's such an elegant name, and it doesn't even have a Taoist name."

Mrs. Yan Yan said with a smile: "We are from Nanbosu Island. We heard that the plum blossoms in Nantang Lake are extremely beautiful, so we came here because of its reputation."

She pretended to look around, "Seeing is worse than hearing."

The little concierge looked embarrassed. Is this visitor really joking?

Shao Yunyan did not let Mrs. Yan Yan continue to talk nonsense and said with a smile: "I passed by your place and asked Qingmei Guan for two bowls of plum soup."

The girl asked softly and shamelessly: "Besides the name badges, do the two guests have on their bodies the Shanshui Pass Certificate issued by Dali?"

In the past, Qingmei Temple did not have these particularities, but today is different from the past. The rules of Dali are there, and no one dares to take them seriously.

Shao Yunyan nodded and said, "Yes."

He took out two copies of the customs clearance documents from the mountain, which he used when he was attending the sect ceremony in Luo Po Mountain. Besides, the Dragon Elephant Sword Sect had settled down in Nan Posuo Continent, and he and Mrs. Blushing Yan were both real people.

Now that you are a monk with genealogy certificates, you will certainly carry the genealogy certificate with you when you go out.

Shao Yunyan's name is of course his real name. As a rule, the hilltop must be marked on the Guan ultiff. If he is a casual cultivator, his place of birth must be clearly written.

Mrs. Yan used a pseudonym, her surname was Mei and her given name was Qingke, and she also gave herself a Taoist title, "Guixian".

The girl was already smart, so when she saw the "Dragon Elephant Sword Sect" on the Guan Ul, she was startled, her eyes widened, and after confirming that she had seen correctly, she immediately returned the Guan Ul, gave Shao Yunyan a Taoist bow, and then talked with him.

The blushing man gave him a blessing and said respectfully: "I have seen Shao Jianxian and Mei Jianxian."

Don't worry about the realm of the other party, as long as he is a genealogical monk of the Longxiang Sword Sect, he is called Sword Immortal, and you are right!

No matter how ignorant she was, the girl knew about the Dragon Elephant Sword Sect, which was an unattainable swordsmanship sect.

Old Sword Immortal Qi from the Great Wall of Sword Qi leads the way! There is also a female Great Sword Immortal named Lu Zhi in the sect!

I heard that there are very few disciples in the sect now, and without exception, they are all the embryos of the Sword Immortal.

Anyway, they are all big shots far away.

I never thought that I would be so lucky to meet the two of them today.

The blushing lady couldn't help laughing, she covered her mouth and said with a sweet smile: "Oh, I am respected as Shao Jianxian."

The girl timidly changed her words: "Shao Dajianxian?"

The blushing lady struggled not to laugh.

Shao Yunyan became increasingly helpless.

After leading the two distinguished guests all the way to see the temple owner, the girl plucked up her courage and asked in a low voice: "Shao Jianxian, Mei Jianxian, do you recognize Mr. Lu?"

Nowadays, there are countless female cultivators in the world who admire Lu Zhi.

This female Great Sword Immortal's hometown is clearly vast in the world, but she is unique in her own way. She always regards the Great Wall of Sword Qi as her hometown, and she can regard sword cultivators as fellow villagers.

Lu Zhi has outstanding military exploits and a distinctive personality. Rumor has it that Lu Zhi is so handsome that someone could admire her. She is one of the top ten sword immortals on the Great Sword Qi Wall, and can participate in the legendary city-top discussions...

Nowadays, all the monks in the world have heard a lot about the Great Sword Qi Wall. Because too many people like to talk about it, and even more people like to listen to it, there is a saying that "one drink can't tell the story of a thousand years".

For this young monk from Qingmei Temple, more interest and thoughts lie in Lu Zhi.

Of course, there is also Ning Yao, who is said to be a divine couple with the last hidden official.

Shao Yunyan smiled and said: "There are not many people in our sect now, so of course we recognize Mr. Lu."

Mrs. Yan Yan stretched out her hand to rub the cheek of the girl next to her, and said with a smile: "I admire our Mr. Lu alone. Xiao Nizi has really good taste."

The girl blushed a little.

There are many dead plum trees in a Green Plum Temple, and like dead trees blooming in spring, countless new branches bloom in an instant.

Mrs. Yan Yan said from her heart: "It has damaged my moral practice for three hundred years!"

Shao Yunyan smiled and said: "Tell Mr. Yinguan yourself."

Mrs. Yan immediately changed her words with a guilty conscience: "At least two hundred years."

"I said it, but I won't keep it. With Lord Yinguan's temper, he will definitely come here to check."

"One hundred and twenty years, one less year for me to take your last name!"

"The false report is one hundred and fifty years. I don't think it's a big problem."

"Shao Yunyan, you don't do one thing in front of me and do the other behind your back, do you?"

"We are from the same sect after all, don't we have any trust at all?"

"Don't try to trick me! I will take it seriously!"

"Forget it, I'll tell you the truth. In fact, it was Lord Yin Guan's intention to allow you to falsely report by 20 to 30 percent."

"..."

————

In the middle part of Aquarius Island, there are Qidu Waters, Dieyun Ridge, and the Mountain God Temple.

In an instant, water mist rose and filled the entire temple.

Today, an uninvited guest came to the mountain temple. The woman was wearing a mask, with a slender figure, and a long sword hanging from her waist with a golden sword tassel.

He has an extremely strong aura of water transport, if the other party hadn't deliberately suppressed the aura of the water god.

Dou Yan, a little mountain god of low rank, probably felt as suffocated as if he were drowning.

Dou Yan recognized the other party's identity and did not dare to be negligent. He immediately walked out of the golden statue of the god and hurriedly changed into a mountain god's official robe that he had not worn for a long time to avoid being rude.

Just now I took a closer look and saw that in addition to the long sword hanging on the other side, there was also a standard waist plate of the Dali Ministry of Rites, which was the font of the head of the Zhao family of Tianshui.

Qi crossed to Changchun Marquis and Yanghua.

After the golden body of the mountain god landed on the ground, he bowed and saluted, "Douyan of Dieyunling, I pay my respects to the Marquis of Qidu Changchun, and the official Shangguan is here. The little god is far away to greet you."

Yang Hua nodded indifferently and glanced at the incense burner on the long table at her feet. It seemed that it was impossible to give birth to a little incense man based on Dieyunling's own mountain luck.

However, Yang Hua was a little surprised by the stability of the dragon veins and mountain roots of Dieyun Mountain. It was not inferior to the tenacity of the five mountains of a small country in the past.

If we talk about the heritage of a sect, we can judge it by the number of immortals that open its peaks. Then the "depth of the courtyard" of Dadu Dukes like Yang Hua depends on the number of landscape temples within its jurisdiction, and each

Whether there is an incense figurine in a landscape temple is the most intuitive "threshold". If you cross it, you can feed your golden body and improve your character faster. If you can't cross it, you will "depend on heaven for food" year after year.

Therefore, the importance of the Incense Villain is similar to that of the Monk's Golden Pill.

After all, Dou Yan was still worried about the situation of his friend Cen Wenqian. The mountain god gave up those roundabout officialdom words and decided to bite the bullet and go straight to the point and speak openly with the Marquis of Changchun. If Yang Hua really wanted to plead guilty and jumped into the Po River today.

After coming, Dou Yan and Dieyunling wanted to help Cen Hebo share some of their burdens, so they asked cautiously: "Hou Jun came to the humble residence, but because of Cen Wenqian's change of the river into a lake?"

It was really because Dou Yan had a guilty conscience and dared to build a lake without permission from the Dali court and the Qidu Marquis Mansion. This was a taboo in the landscape. It was hard to say whether he could keep his golden body and temple if he met a Shangguan who was not easy to talk to.

.

Yang Hua turned a deaf ear and took the lead to step out of the temple threshold and walk towards a bamboo viewing pavilion built on the cliffside. The small pavilion hung a plaque with the words "Overlapping Green and Rowing Clouds". Like the couplets, it was written by Bo Cen Wenqian, who jumped over the river, and covered the pavilion.

The unseen woman, Lord Dadu, stepped into the pavilion, held her back with one hand, and pressed the hilt of the sword with the other. She looked at the Tiaobo River that had completely dried up due to the diversion. Not far away was a mountain bordering the Dieyunling Mountains.

The brand-new lake has clear water. None of the many aquatic species in the Tiaobo River were led into the lake by Cen Wenqian's water method. It seems that Cen Hebo still has a sense of proportion in doing things.

The diversion of Dadu this time was of great importance and involved many people. The number of people who had to leave their homes alone amounted to millions. Therefore, Dali Capital and Peidu jointly mobilized a total of five ministers from the three departments of Li, Gong and Hu to specially

A temporary government office for Dadu diversion was set up to jointly supervise the matter. Zhongyue and Changchun Liyishan were responsible for the coordination. Just talking about this place, six tributaries of rivers including Tiaobo River were abandoned.

Except for Cen Wenqian, who had good luck and got a lake that fell from the sky, and did not need to move elsewhere, the water gods of the other five tributaries, Hebo and Hepo, could only follow the plan established by Da Li and had to abandon their original temples and water mansions.

The position of the golden body must be changed, or transferred to the residence of a high-ranking water god elsewhere to serve as a water official, or the gold and jade genealogy must be lowered to serve as a new river god. As for the loss of moving the golden body, the Dali court can only give a certain amount.

Gold and copper coins can at most make up for 70% to 80% of the gold body, and the rest can only be filled with incense from the local people.

Fortunately among the misfortunes, this kind of migration requires "water gods to climb mountains and mountain gods to wade through rivers". Although the gods of mountains and rivers are injured, it will not damage the foundation of the gods.

Dou Yan followed Yang Hua tremblingly all the way, and his heart became more and more drumming. Looking at her posture, was he really going to fight with Cen Wenqian?

In the officialdom, no matter where you are, no matter where you are, when you meet a new boss, you all like to inquire about the person’s background and background.

For example, if you are a wealthy child, ask the county magistrate for your surname. If you are born into a poor family, ask who is your mentor, imperial examination master, or house master, and especially who your father-in-law is.

Dou Yan is not that stupid friend

Neighbor Cen Wenqian, whether she was a human being or an official during her lifetime, or a heroic spirit and god who protected her after her death, was obviously more active. She had more accumulated love in the officialdom, and she was better informed about gossip, so she listened early.

There are a lot of rumors and deeds about this Changchun Marquis. He has a great background and even greater backing. He can be said to be a man with great eyes and hands, and is a well-deserved person in the court!

In the capital city of Da Li, there are a group of masters of the Immortal Mansion, large and small, which seems to be called Changchun Palace. One of the old masters is also one of the tomb-keepers of the Longxing Land of the Song clan in Da Li.

It is rumored that the Empress Dowager Nanhan of Dali, who was born in Yuzhang County, Hongzhou, once "left the capital on orders" when she was still the queen in her early years, and married Mao Qingxiu at the Changchun Palace, and Yang Hua was the confidant maid of Queen Nanhan at that time.

, Yang Hua, who later served as the water god of the Tiefu River for several years, now happens to be the Changchun Marquis who filled the vacancy for Qidu. What a coincidence? Who wouldn’t envy him?

Although Yang Hua's water god's rank remains unchanged, he is still a third-grade water god. However, whether it is the jurisdiction of the water area or the actual power in his hands, Yang Hua is undoubtedly highly promoted. This is like the top leader of Xiaojiuqing Yamen in the imperial court. How can he be compared with the official rank?

The same six ministers are compared.

Furthermore, the Tiefu River was located in the old Longzhou, the homeland of the Great Li Dynasty. The boundary of Longzhou was originally a place of disputes where gods gathered, and it was also a neighbor to Piyun Mountain, where the Beiyue Mountain Monarch of Yizhou was seated. There were constraints everywhere.

Similar to the officialdom of "Fu Guo County" at the foot of the mountain, people are under the control of others, so coming to Dadu in the middle of Yizhou to "become an official" is of course a first-class job.

Regarding the temporarily vacant Tiefu River Water God, some say that he was promoted from the Sanjiang Water God in Hongzhu Town, while others say that the water god was transferred from outside to take over. There are different opinions.

Dou Yan really doesn't know how much Hou Jun's wrath Xiaodie Yunling can really bear for Cen Wenqian?

The first thing Yang Hua did when he took office as the Marquis of Changchun in Dadu was to issue a decree to all the subordinate landscape gods, so that they did not need to come to congratulate him.

Therefore, there are still many Zhou Chenghuang lords in the southern border of Da Li, but even the Marquis of Changchun has not been able to meet him.

Because Yang Hua plans to visit the mountains, rivers, land temples and city god temples at all levels in her own territory. It is similar to a private visit incognito. She will not notify any temple in advance. She wants to personally inspect the virtuous virtues and virtues of various gods.

In terms of merits and demerits, two years later, all subordinates will be called together to decide whether they should be promoted or demoted. Whether they should be rewarded or punished should be given orders. Everything should be done according to the rules of the prince's government. All the officials in the prince's government who are lazy and lazy will be punished by the local government.

Those who think they can rest on their merits and enjoy their blessings can just wait.

According to the new regulations promulgated after the meeting at the Confucian Temple, except for the ritual system of gold and jade genealogy, it was almost completely copied from the Dali Dynasty.

In addition, the Confucian saints also formulated a landscape rule. Each continent can be crowned with a maximum of three high-ranking water gods and one or two water gods. At present, there is only one marquis and one uncle in Aquarius Island Qidu. Yang Hua's

The Marquis of Changchun, the uncle of the water dragon in the Qiantang River Feng Shui Cave, there is no water god in Aquarius Continent who can obtain the Duke of Dadu, Shui Lord, and the post of Shuizheng is temporarily vacant.

Nowadays, the sages of the Confucian Temple of China who preside over the canonization ceremony of Haoran Landscape, such as the Lord of the Four Seas and the Five Mountains of China, will be a certain deputy leader of the Confucian Temple who appears in person.

The Duke of Dadu, the Duke of Dadu, presided over the wine-offering ceremony of a certain academy. Then he was the secretary of the academy, the mountain chief of the local academy in Yizhou.

After leaving the Tiefu River, which had only an empty title, there was not much that could be done. However, now a mighty central Dadu, with 40% of the water area under her jurisdiction, and in the officialdom, that river

The "Qiantang Chang" Lao Jiao whose dojo was built in the Feng Shui Cave was only granted the title of Marquis of Linli, which was half a step lower than her, the Marquis of Changchun. As long as she spent a day crossing Shuijun without the public suffix, Yang Hua would be the leader of many water gods.

The first one.

The Dali imperial court did this intentionally, just to let Yizhou Water God compete for that prominent position based on his merits and experience.

Yang Hua withdrew his gaze and sat in the pavilion. He did not deliberately let the Dou Mountain God sit down, so as to show how approachable he was. You, Dou Yan, just stood and answered. Whether you are qualified to sit down or not depends on your ability.

If she feels extremely dissatisfied after a question and answer session, there is no telling whether you, Dou Yan, can keep your position as the mountain god of Dieyunling.

Next, she asked Dou Yan a series of questions, such as the increase or decrease in the number of households in Dieyunling territory, the taxation and granary reserves of several prefectures and counties, as well as the cultural and educational achievements of several counties in recent years, the county annals

The re-editing, the preparations for the construction of various official and private archways, the repair of post roads, and what to do with some charity villages after they are decommissioned are all diverse. Yang Hua not only asked in extremely detail, but also the changes in the number of children in the past ten years.

Is it increasing or decreasing, and what is the situation if it is evenly distributed within specific prefectures and counties...

Yang Hua asked them one by one. In short, all the cultural, educational, product and commercial matters in Dieyunling territory were divided into more than ten categories. Yang Hua would choose two or three questions each. Dou Yan could only barely answer most of them, and

Yang Hua was obviously not satisfied with some of the answers. Dou Shanshen, who was standing by respectfully answering the questions, pointed out the flaws or slight deviations in the numbers on the spot. Dou Yan's scalp went numb after hearing this, and he felt like he was a wasted student.

I am a young boy in the school. I have met a teacher who is strict in teaching. I am here to check my homework carefully.

This made Dou Shanshen feel anxious and a little weird. He even began to envy his old friend Cen Wenqian. Anyway, when Cen Hebo encountered similar problems, he would definitely just be quick and answer questions without knowing anything!

Dou Yangyan remembered the strange person he had met before, a man in green shirt whom he mistakenly thought was an official from the Ministry of Industry of Dali. When he first appeared at the Tiaobo River, he had ridiculed Cen Wenqian.

, it sounds strange, saying that Cen Hebo really has a casual temperament, disdains business, and doesn't care about the amount of incense. Among the people along the Tiaobo River, there are only two "Madame Ru" who were born with the same Jinshi in two hundred years...

Could it be a kind of advance reminder equivalent to leaking exam questions?

Is it because he is very familiar with Changchun Hou Yanghua's style of doing things, so he warned Cen Wenqian and himself early?

I thought it was a joke at the time, and felt that the guy was cursing Cen Wenqian in a roundabout way, which was quite relieved. But it turned out that now I became a joke.

Yang Hua was quite satisfied. After all, 30% of the questions she asked were beyond the scope of her duties as a mountain god.

It can only be said that Dou Yan, the god of Dieyunling Mountain, did not bring any unexpected joy to me, but there was no problem in getting the "due diligence" test.

Yang Hua suddenly said: "I heard that Cen Wenqian served as a transit envoy to a country during her lifetime."

Dou Yan carefully crafted his words and said: "Hou Jun Mingjian, Cen Wenqian was able to handle all kinds of officialdom and interest relationships in the capital and local areas, despite all the opposition, just as the minister of the Ministry of Industry. In the end, he single-handedly took charge of the dredging of water transport and the preparation of the granary."

I have been in office for three years and achieved a lot of achievements. I dare not say anything about the merits that will last forever. I only say that Cen Wenqian's posthumous title of 'Wen Duan' is not a shame."

Yang Hua remained silent.

Dou Yan had nothing to do. The higher the official rank, the higher the rank. Not to mention the huge disparity in official titles between the two sides. Most importantly, Yang Hua was the Marquis of Changchun and held a high and powerful position. Therefore, the Dali court would not interfere too much in many affairs.

Yang Hua turned around and looked at the old site of Tiaobo River, and said with no reason, "I heard that in the past, Tiaobo River had the reputation of the old fish jumping into the waves and chewing flowers to eat. Although now the river has been changed into a lake, there are no more unique animals in the river.

Some apricot-flowered perch will inevitably have a little regret, failing to live up to the excellent poems left by so many literati and poets in history."

Dou Yan was overjoyed.

Just Yang Hua's next question made Dou Yan feel like he was falling into an ice cave. "Previously, Cen Wenqian received an official letter from the Shui Mansion's Inspection Department and asked Hebo Mansion about the specific reason and process. Why has there been no reply for a long time?"

Dou Yan couldn't stop scolding his mother in his heart, but he didn't dare to scold the officials of the Hou Mansion's Inspection Department for acting impartially. Instead, he scolded Uncle Cen He for being so boring and not saying hello to him at all.

Today, in the Changchun Marquis' Mansion in Dadu, there are two plaques hanging on the same government office: Dadu Marquis' Mansion and Bixiao Palace.

One is an official position granted by the imperial court, and the other is a landscape monastery founded by a god.

As a rule, there are sixteen departments, among which the Shuifu Inspection Department is an important yamen that often involves major issues.

Previously, the Hou Mansion received a letter from Dieyunling, with a private seal printed at the end of the letter, "Chen Shiyi".

As a result, something almost happened.

Although it says "The Marquis of Changchun Qin Qi" on the cover, it is not the usual "Qi Qi" or "Dao Qi" that are more polite on the cover.

However, the subordinates of Shuifu who are responsible for sending and receiving official documents and letters from all walks of life would not dare to receive a letter casually, and after seeing the word "personal letter" on the cover, dare to send it directly to the dignified Duke Dadu.

The master of a palace, so foolishly asked His Highness Hou Jun to "unseal the seal with his own hands"?

Moreover, the sender of the letter was Dou Yan, the mountain god of Dieyunling. The subordinate official of Shui Mansion had to check the file entries before he found out that it was a mountain god the size of a sesame seed. This caused a flaw. The subordinate official who received the letter first found a Marquis Mansion as usual.

The auxiliary officer in charge of this matter opened the letter together under the witness of this official. Since there were not many old people from Tiefu Jiangshui Mansion brought to Daduhou Mansion, Yang Hua did not have the habit of nepotism, so he used some

Most of the new faces sent from the capital of Da Li were the old water gods and Narcissus who were extremely lucky and benefited from the diversion of large and small rivers. Even if they were not promoted, they could be regarded as close ministers of the Hou Jun.

All in all, there are some disputes that are going around in the officialdom of Shanshui. There are several officials of the Shui Mansion with high positions, but they all have trouble with Cen Wenqian, the little Hebo.

Cen Wenqian had a high-spirited temperament. One of the chief officers in charge of the Archives Department probably thought he had found a golden opportunity, so he immediately took the "evidence of guilt" to find his colleagues in the Inspection Department. The latter did not dare to do anything about his duties.

I was slacking off, so I sent a letter to Cen Wenqian, Bohe Bo of Tiaobo. The content was sternly worded and generally considered business-like. There was one thing Cen Wenqian needed to make clear. The man who clearly called himself "Cao Xianshi" was stamped "Chen Shiyi"

Who is this person’s true identity and what mountain do he come from?

When the head of the Inspection Department reported the matter to the Marquis of Changchun, Yang Hua did not say anything at that time, but did not ask the Inspection Department to send people to Tiaobo River immediately, otherwise the Inspection Department would only wait for the new Marquis of Changchun's nod to arrest him.

That's Uncle Cen He who built a lake without authorization and developed private land.

But deep down in Yang Hua's heart, she had no intention of holding the Audit Department accountable, but in fact she was already very angry about the public vengeance of the Shui Mansion Assistant Officer in the Archives Office.

If she had just received the secret letter, Yang Hua would have thrown it aside after reading it. She would have ignored it as if nothing had happened. She would have just pretended that she had not received the letter.

Maybe it will be handed over directly to the Empress Dowager Dali in the capital for disposal.

She wasn't familiar with Luo Luo Shan at all, and she didn't have much of a romantic relationship with Chen Pingan.

At most, Yang Hua acted impartially, with clear rewards and punishments. As long as Dieyunling Mountain God and Tiaobohebo did not violate the rules or prohibitions, that would be the best. He wanted to take care of the future of those two people, but Chen Pingan thought too much.

.

As a result, there was such a commotion in his own water house, and the Inspection Department directly sent an official document similar to an order to jump into the Bo River, and also bypassed Douyan in Dieyunling, which involved Cen Wenqian's need to reveal the identity of "Chen Shiyi".

She had no choice but to go to Dieyun Ridge and Tiaobo River herself.

Otherwise, it is obvious that the young mountain owner of Luolu Mountain has already written a personal letter to say hello, and Yang Huabu deliberately takes care of Dieyunling. Chen Pingan cannot find anything wrong.

So this matter was considered to have been revealed by Shuifu and Luopo Mountain in one fell swoop. But now it has become that Yang Hua clearly received the letter, but still allowed his Shuifu subordinates to deliberately make things difficult for Hebo Cen Wenqian. The nature of the matter is

If it changes, if it is mishandled, it will be equivalent to a slap in the face of that desolate mountain by the Changchun Marquis Mansion.

Yang Hua is not the least bit unsophisticated, and she no longer wants to be on friendly terms with Luo Luo Shan, nor does she want to become enemies with Luo Luo Shan.

She had no choice but to send a letter to the Dali court, and soon she received a secret letter from the imperial palace in the capital.

But they all come from the Changchun Palace. Of course, they are handwritten by the Empress Dowager Dali.

There is only one sentence in the letter, "According to what the letter says, on the premise that it does not violate the laws and regulations of the Dali landscape, Changchun Water Mansion can treat Dieyunling and Tiaobo River kindly."

This made Yang Hua relieved.

But she couldn't help but guess that this guy Chen Ping'an was plotting against her?

Otherwise, he could have sent a letter himself, so why let Dou Yan of Dieyunling do it for him? Especially in that letter, he was deliberately vague about his identity, and wrote in a cloudy way about an old man from Longzhou who is a distant relative who is not as good as a close neighbor.

Circling around, especially the sentence "I have been traveling far away all year round and have never been able to visit the Tiefu River Water God Mansion", and what else: "Now Dadu is busy with official duties. I only wait for Mr. Hou to inform me in his spare time before I dare to come and make trouble."

.You want to be shameless?

As long as Chen Ping'an writes his identity on the envelope, who would dare to embarrass the Shuifu government offices? I'm afraid he just got the letter and didn't even need to open it, so he would probably feel even more honored, right?

What's more, now in the Immortal Mansion on Yizhou Mountain, who wouldn't worry about you, Chen Ping'an, a young swordsman who likes to tear down other people's ancestral halls? If you send a letter to someone, there are only four words written in it: "Wen Jian with you"?

Although he could not see Yang Hua's face, Dou Yan always felt that Mr. Hou Jun was not in a good mood at the moment.

Yang Hua stood up and said: "Dou Yan, since you are a mountain god, you should bring benefits to one side and you must continue to work hard in the future. You need to know that the officialdom of mountains and rivers is not exactly the same as the officialdom of my mountain at the foot of Dali. The latter has always abided by its duties.

Everyone performs his or her duties, and it is important to do a lot of things and not be too busy, but we, the gods of mountains and rivers, need to pay more attention to everything within our jurisdiction, whether it is the monks of the immortal mansion on the mountain or the counties and counties below the mountain, no matter how big or small it is."

Dou Yan bowed quickly and said, "My little god, I would like to follow the teachings of Lord Hou."

When Dou Yan was in the officialdom, he was afraid that his superiors would be pragmatic, but he was not afraid of being pragmatic.

Yang Hua then went to the old site of Tiaobo River Temple and met He Bo Cen Wenqian who looked like a young Confucian scholar.

When Mr. Hou Jun asked about the official document sent by the Audit Department, Cen Wenqian only said that he should follow the rules and she had nothing to explain.

Yang Hua said with a smile, "My bones are too hard to be an official."

The little Hebo still looked indifferent and replied lukewarmly, "If you don't have strong bones, how can you be a parent official? How can you be an ancestral tablet official who only offers incense and filial piety to the common people and never sees them?"

Yang Hua sneered and said: "It's easy to be an upright official, but it's difficult for a capable minister to do it. Dou Yan can say what you said, but it's a bit funny to say it from Cen Hebo's mouth."

Cen Wenqian was silent.

The sage said, "He was born with honor, and his death is also mourned." During his lifetime, he served as a minister of the Ministry of Rites. After his death, he was awarded the title of Prince Taibao and received a beautiful posthumous title. Cen Wenqian was indeed the most mournful and honorable person. Even after his death, he served as the Hebo of this place, and he was full of enthusiasm.

, my heart is burning, but I hit the wall again and again. Being an official is actually more difficult than when I was alive. I watch helplessly that the government is ambiguous, the emperor and his ministers are ignorant, and the colleagues in the surrounding mountains and rivers are squeezing them everywhere. They join forces with the civil and military forces of the temple to suppress Tiaobo River. I only say that the numbers are in the underworld.

Ming Zhong had the seeds of reading hanging in the secret lantern of Tiaobo River, so his whole family moved, and within a few years he was on the gold medal list... In the end, Cen Wenqian could only feel depressed and disheartened.

Yang Hua was too lazy to talk to Cen Wenqian about official matters. The river uncle would occupy this lake and enjoy his life in the future. When he came back, the prince's mansion would issue an order to ask the river descendants of the nearby rivers to collect the batch of apricot perch and put it back into the water.

After raising this lake, my own water house will just treat Tiaobo Lake as non-existent in the future, and I will have a decent explanation from Chen Ping'an. Anyway, Cen Wenqian has not succeeded enough, so she will not be exposed.

When Cen Wenqian saw that the Lord of the Hou Mansion was about to leave, she hesitated for a moment, took out a booklet from her sleeve and said: "Mr. Yang Hou, these are some superficial opinions of the lower official on Qidu's change of course. Although Dali is now in Dadu

On the matter of diversion, most of the progress has been made, and the hydrological context is clear. However, in the opinion of Xiaguan, some things may not really be perfect. It is just that the boundaries of the Shihu River, Dali Ministry of Industry officials and a group of hydraulic workers,

In terms of "cutting bends" and "turning back the flow", they follow the ancient rituals and old systems too much. In addition, the treatment of siltation in the three prefectures of Wuzhou has achieved great results in the short term.

He's in trouble..."

At this point, Cen Wenqian laughed at herself and stopped talking about those unpleasant trivial things. In the end, she just said, "I just hope that the officials of the Diversion Department temporarily set up by the Marquis of Changchun Mansion can take a look."

Yang Hua took the thick booklet and asked doubtfully: "Why didn't you give it out earlier?"

Whether Cen Wenqian handed it over to her own Dadu Marquis Mansion or to the Ministry of Industry of Dali Capital, there was no problem, and there was no taboo against jumping up the ranks in the officialdom.

This is because the Dali court has long had relevant clear regulations on what matters for middle- and low-level officials are "not allowed", "ok" and "allowed to make exceptions" to make suggestions for the court.

Therefore, officials can just follow the routine, and there is no so-called "discretion" after the fact. The laws and regulations of Dali are written extremely clearly and accurately.

Cen Wenqian replied: "If you're not afraid of reading in vain, you're afraid of writing in vain and eventually occupying space in a certain yamen's archives room."

Yang Hua actually started flipping through the booklet, shaking her head and saying, "Cen Wenqian, don't have similar ideas in the future. Whether it's the newly established Road Diversion Supervision and Construction Office where the ministers gather together, or the Road Diversion Department here, this booklet

It is destined not to be a waste, and according to the regulations of the imperial court, the officials in charge, even if they do not adopt your suggestions, must still give you a definite reply. Both the imperial court and the Shuifu Mansion need to record the files. In addition, the officials of the Li Ministry of Capital City and the capital,

Every year, people are sent into the archives room to randomly check official documents, which will eventually be included in the four-year general assessment of local officials."

Yang Hua closed the book and suddenly said: "Go to your water house and sit for a while..."

She planned to read the booklet carefully, but Yang Hua thought for a moment and said: "Forget it, I am a layman after all. It is difficult to see the right and wrong pros and cons in the booklet. You can just go to the Shuifu Diversion Department with me and talk to the Shuifu officials."

Explain in detail the things in the booklet. Although I am a layman, I will participate in the listening."

Cen Wenqian asked doubtfully: "Leaving immediately?"

"otherwise?"

Yang Hua burst into laughter and asked: "I don't like fishing, not to mention that the entire Tiaobo River has dried up. Or is it that Cen Hebo wants to show his kindness as a landlord and treat me to a drink?"

Cen Wenqian smiled and said: "The way of being an official is far inferior to that of Dou Shanshen. I can't do such a thing as inviting my boss to drink."

Yang Hua smiled and said: "Before coming to your place, I actually went to Dieyunling first, but I was not able to appreciate Dou Shanshen's drinking capacity."

Cen Wenqian was about to speak but stopped.

Yang Hua said: "Dou Yan is not bad. He is very concerned about many things that seem to not require his attention. He is more than enough to be the mountain god of Dieyunling."

Cen Wenqian breathed a sigh of relief.

One Hou Jun and one He Bo each used their water magic powers and went straight to Changchun Hou Shui Mansion. Just to take care of Cen Wenqian, Yang Hua slowed down.

Cen Wenqian looked down at the mountains and rivers of the earth, and Leng Buding asked in her heart: "Thirty or fifty years later, can the Dali court still maintain the high-spirited spirit it has today?"

At the foot of the mountain, after all, they are the emperor and the courtiers of that dynasty.

What's more, today's Dali Dynasty no longer has the national advisor Cui Chan.

Who can guarantee that the next Emperor of the Song Dynasty in Da Li will be a wise emperor with great talents and strategies? He will not change his ways, and the power of Da Li will not decline.

Yang Hua nodded and smiled: "Sure."

In fact, this was a very suspicious question, but Yang Hua answered it without any hesitation.

Cen Wenqian asked: "Why is Yang Houjun so sure?"

Yang Hua was in a complicated mood and her thoughts were drifting away. After a moment, she came back to her senses and said with a smile: "We'll just wait and see."
