Chapter nine hundred and seventy seventh blind date and love brothers and sisters
The spring breeze is warm and the water is warm, the scenery is beautiful, there are three or two peach blossoms outside the bamboo on the bank, and wild ducks in the water are chasing the clear scenery.
Wang Zhu and his party crossed the water and landed on Tongyezhou, preparing to visit the opportunistic Yu dynasty who took the initiative to show hospitality to the East Sea Lord's Mansion.
After walking a few steps, I unexpectedly met this young man in white with a red mole on his eyebrows. This was the second time they met. The first time they met was at the old site of Dadu Dragon Palace. Several Shuifu guards were deeply impressed by this man.
, the city is so deep that there is no bottom. Of course, what really scares them is the swordsman "Xiao Mo" with the yellow hat and blue shoes. He calls the young hermit official "Young Master". His realm is so high that it is unattainable.
Wang Zhu and Cui Dongshan had known each other a long time ago, and they were half "fellow townspeople", so they were used to it. However, Gong Yan and Huang Man looked at the guy's funny posture and felt that the young man's behavior was both disgusting and disgusting.
They are also very good at scaring people. They are all accomplished monks and have been heroes in their hometowns in various continents. They have seen many strange people and strange things on the mountain, but the independent young man in white with a golden rooster in front of him, holding a mirror in his hand and talking nonsense, is still alone.
One serving.
When Cui Dongshan saw that they didn't accept the move, it was as if he had been cast a immobilization spell, as if he had made up his mind. If you don't give me any indication, then we will continue to face each other like this until the end of time.
Wang Zhu sneered: "Isn't Sect Leader Cui tired?"
Cui Dongshan maintained that posture and said sternly: "A man puts his foot on the ground and holds the sky with one hand, and then supports his body with an iron bone. He dare not say that he is tired. A hero, a white jade pillar holding up the sky, a purple golden beam bridging the sea, working tirelessly...
…”
Wang Zhu's eyes were cold, "Cui Dongshan, it's almost enough. If you have something to say, talk about it, and if you have nothing to do, make way. I don't have time to waste time here with you."
"There is something wrong. How can it be okay? The leader of a sect is very busy. I just walked across the Liao River with a Luoyang wooden guest. It is an easy walk. It is very hard to eat and sleep in the open air."
Cui Dongshan's face was full of resentment. He put away the "fist stake" and as soon as he landed on the ground, he raised his foot again and kicked a stone on the bank. It flew towards the river quickly and smashed into the water with a rumbling sound.
Like thunder, it instantly startled a group of wild ducks to flap their wings and fly around.
Cui Dongshan twisted his wrist and turned out a green bamboo stick with an inscription of "Xing Qi" engraved in running script. This walking stick was a meeting gift from Wu Shuangjiang on the night boat. Cui Dongshan originally planned to give it to Chai Wu.
It was regarded as a gift to reach the Jade Pure Realm in one step, but it was regretted at the end, and it had other important uses. It should be treasured, or it could be used as a family heirloom and left to the future disciples, or it could be given to those who might come to my Cao Peak to practice.
Zhao Luan, since he dug the corner of Luopo Mountain with a hoe, he didn't mind being kept an extra account by his husband, so Cui Dongshan found Chai Wu and met with Bai Xuan's nicknames "Cao Mu" and "You Na"
The little girl who loved drinking had a discussion and asked her if she wanted this priceless green bamboo stick, or if he wanted to send a hundred jars of Xianjia wine in his own name, and guaranteed that each jar of wine would have the same name. At that time, Chai
Wu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said that one hundred jars was too much, and fifty jars was enough. The little girl's implication couldn't be simpler, drinking is the best in the world!
Cui Dongshan said with a playful smile: "Miss Zhigui, there are distinguished guests coming to visit from Luopo Mountain. My husband must return home immediately, so he went back after the celebration and cannot entertain the guests in person."
Wang Zhu said expressionlessly: "This small water house is isolated overseas, and I don't dare to bother Official Chen Yin to entertain it personally."
Cui Dongshan said seriously: "You can't say that. Miss Zhigui and my husband have been neighbors for many years, and we met when we were young. Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. What a great fate and affection."
Wang Zhu twitched his lips and didn't say much. Wang Zhu, who had returned to Chen Ping'an after seeing each other at the Dadu Dragon Palace site last time, did not mention Cui Dongshan's insider identity to several Shuifu retinues afterwards. He only said that this person was
The Baopingzhou native was an official in the Dali court. When Cui Dongshan entered the Lizhu Cave that had not yet broken to the ground, he later became Chen Ping'an's student for some reason. Wang Zhu said it too simply. Of course Gong Yan and the others
Wang Zhu dismissed it with just one sentence. Regarding Cui Dongshan, it is useless to say more. If you know more, it will cause unnecessary trouble. Not long ago, Donghai Mansion received a piece of intelligence information. Luopo Mountain is located in the southern boundary of Dayuan Dynasty.
The next sect was established, named Qingping Jianzong, with Cui Dongshan as the first sect leader.
Cui Dongshan waved his hiking stick and greeted them one by one, taking the initiative to show his courtesy.
"Sister Zhigui is really a prophet of the future. I'll come to you if I know it's coming."
"I'm familiar with the Yu Dynasty that changed its name to Shenlong. If I don't brag, I can be regarded as half the host when I get to Luo Jing. You may not believe it now, but you will know it as soon as you go there. For example, Ji Cui
Lu Bilong, the real protector of the country in the temple, and I are close friends on the mountain. As well as the Qingzhuan sect, the leader of the Immortal Palace on the mountain of the Yu Dynasty, we are both half of our own family, how can we be so close? Especially Dai Yuan,
He is also a good brother who chops off chicken heads and burns yellow paper."
Gong Yanyan smiled and said: "Sect Master Cui has so many friends."
Cui Dongshan nodded and said: "It's necessary. When you go out, you rely on friends. As long as you have many friends in the world, you can eat nine meals a day."
It seems that since Dai Yuan, an old boy, met him and had a drink under the grape trellis of the Luojing Lantern and Riddle House in the Golden Nest, this guy has been on a meteoric rise. He was first promoted within the Qingzhuan sect, and was just promoted to
Zhang Lu can be regarded as taking the place of Xu Bai, the direct disciple of Gao Shuwen, the leader. After all, Dai Yuan is a golden elixir monk with a legitimate reputation. In addition, Dai Yuan's ranking in the royal family has also been improved in the Yu Dynasty. He can be regarded as one of the two people inside and outside the wall.
flowering.
At that time, the chief guest of Xiaolongqiu who was drinking with him, the old Yuan Ying Zhang Liuzhu, whose Taoist name was "Narcissus", now changed his name to Zhang Xie and went to the Dachong Dynasty to serve as an aide to a young man, a young but famous man.
The minister of the Ministry of Industry was named Shi Yuyan. The minister of the Ministry of Punishment was an old man who had a son, and he had high hopes for Shi Yuyan. From the name given to his son, he was endowed with virtues and good reputations in art.
After leaving the lantern riddle shop, Cui Dongshan used the Yang Shen body inherited from Pushan Yuncaotang to go to Zhang Liuzhu, and also met the master's assistant. The two of them hit it off.
The capital of Dali was named Luojing, which is related to the fact that Song Mu granted the king the title of "King of Luo".
The capital of the Yu Dynasty in Tongyezhou was also called Luojing. Of course it was just a coincidence.
With the current momentum of the Dali court and the Yu dynasty's ability to adapt to the changing circumstances, even if they are not in the same continent, it is estimated that it will not be a problem for the former to change the latter's name.
Cui Dongshan said that he would take them to a place not far away, in the wind and clouds, and only required three sticks of incense.
On the way to ride the wind, the young man in white stepped on the green bamboo stick like a sword, turned his head and got close to Gong Yantou, and said: "Sister Ah Wu, I listened to your chat earlier, and I listened carefully to your sister's words the most, and refused to miss them.
One word, since my sister wants to go to Huaihuang County for a walk, what’s the difficulty? I’ll lead the way later, why don’t we make an appointment now?”
Gong Yan ignored it, and Cui Dongshan turned to chat with others, "Brother Li Ba, you look like you are still so strong and strong. Wanyan Laojing has been your friend for many years. I heard that we are both teachers and friends. He was once your Jinjiazhou."
Beautiful talk on the mountain, it’s okay. There are times when you don’t stumble a few times in life. Since my hometown is a sad place, I just won’t go back. I will reunite with Miss Zhigui one day and settle down here in Tongyezhou.
Well, if you go to Aquarius Island, you can also go to Aquarius Island. I have more friends there. I can return to my old career and be a national advisor in a certain court in the south. I am ambitious for a thousand miles. Isn’t it still a good story? Brother Li Ba, I
So, does your mood feel a little better?"
Li Ba's face was gloomy. How could he feel better after being stabbed in the heart in front of him? The name Wanyan Laojing was something that even Huang Man and Gong Yan did not dare to mention to Li Ba.
"Brother Ximan, do you want to spar with one or two martial arts warriors? If you are so inclined, it is a trivial matter. I can help introduce you. There happen to be two of them in Tongyezhou now. What a coincidence, they are both mine.
My friend, based on my friendship with Brother Ximan, I will go out of my way to help you bridge the gap and ask for two rounds of martial arts training to help each other."
Ximan, a martial artist at the peak of the Nine Realms, with a foothold in the Great Dao, is a land dragon in Liuxia Continent. However, Liuxia Continent has average martial arts. There used to be two martial artists at the end of the realm, but now there is only one, because one of them has the qualifications
A better, more accomplished grand master named Ye Ku. He once rushed across the continent alone to the battlefield in the middle of Jinjia Continent to kill demons with his fists, but he fell into a bad situation. So the Middle-earth Divine Continent, who had been most fond of Zang Feo's character in recent years, went against Liuxia Continent.
There is a sarcastic saying.
In Liuxiazhou in the northwest, when it comes to military exploits, the mountains are not as good as the ones at the bottom, and when it comes to courage, the old are not as good as the young.
Sweeping the former with a stick is equivalent to scolding all the sects and immortal mansions including Xianren Qinzao, as well as the Tianyu Cave, and all the monks on the mountain. As for the latter, he only targets one person, that is
The old martial artist who is known as "After reaching the top of the realm, he has never lost in boxing in the same realm" and the number one martial artist in Liuxia Continent. The reason why he has never lost a boxing match is of course because he has never boxed with others since he reached the tenth level.
But it was not the kind of person who would just wash his hands and withdraw from the world, so Ye Ku had no idea of quarreling with this person.
Because Ye Ku fell to the mountain top realm, like Han Guanghu, the Jinjiazhou martial artist who fell to one level, he received an invitation from the Zhongtu Confucian Temple to participate in the discussion but declined.
Xi Man wondered: "Apart from Pushan Huang Yiyun, Wu Sheng, the Martial Saint, is also in Tongyezhou? Didn't he go to the wild world?"
Some confidential Shui Mansion newspapers will be sent directly from the Chinese Confucian Temple, so they are more informed than ordinary sects.
Cui Dongshan chuckled and said, "Let me keep it a secret first, lest brother Li Ba will feel depressed again and frown and look unhappy after hearing this."
"Brother Huang Man, he is worthy of being known as the 'Jade Taoist'. He is really talented in appearance and as beautiful as jade! One day in the future, our Xiandu Mountain dense snow peak will open the Mirror Flowers and Water Moon, and we must invite Brother Huang Man to show off."
A face!"
"Thanks to Zhang Tiaoxia, whose Taoist name is 'Long Bo', he got his hands on Brother Huang Man. He has the strength of the fists and kicks of the best martial artist in the world. Tsk tsk, little brother, I feel pain for Brother Huang Man just thinking about it."
Huang Man smiled and said: "It seems that the words are not as weighty as Sect Master Cui's."
Cui Dongshan clapped his chest and said: "A scholar speaks in harmony with the truth, and his words will never fail!"
Gong Yanjiao laughed out loud. This beautiful woman was nicknamed Ah Wu. She was dressed in palace attire and had a slender figure. She looked thin, but in fact her plump figure was hidden.
With a flowing bun and a golden step, Gong Yan only needs a little makeup to look gorgeous. On both sides of her slender waist, there is an ancient bronze mirror and a crystal hanging on each side.
Bi.
No wonder Huang Man often jokes that it would be a pity not to be a queen.
Men in this world don't know the beauty of chubby when they are young. Their eyes only turn to the faces of beautiful women, and they miss a lot of charm in vain.
When it comes to beauty, as a man, the immortal yellow mantle is actually not inferior to the beauty of a woman.
The men in the novels about gifted men and beautiful women all seem to be carved out of the same mold. They are nothing more than powdery faces, sword-shaped eyebrows at the temples, and jade trees facing the wind...
Seeing that the young man in white started to behave like a monster again, on the way to ride the wind, a thick sea of clouds appeared in front of him. He saw the big white goose, his body turned over, his whole body rotated forward, his hands and sleeves swayed forward, and he casually pushed aside a layer of the sea of clouds.
.
Xi Man gathered his voice and said: "It's really painful to stay with this guy. I really don't know how Chen Ping'an can stand this kind of student."
Gong Yan laughed from the bottom of her heart and said: "I heard Sect Master Nalan mention the young hermit official earlier, and the comment was interesting, saying that Chen Ping'an is a dull gourd full of bad intentions. He usually looks taciturn, but in fact he is full of calculations about people's hearts. However,
Generally speaking, he is easy to talk to, as long as you don't provoke him. With such a gentleman, if you find someone who doesn't like to talk, wouldn't it be relatively speechless? For me, you really have to find Cui Dongshan, who is out-of-the-box and lively.
It is to harmonize the unique twilight and vitality among Mr. and students."
Li Ba suddenly interrupted and said: "You have all seen it wrong. On the contrary, the one who is really energetic is the young hermit official who seems to be quiet. The one who is said to have a deep Taoist heart and is sullen is actually the cynical Cui
Sect Master, the former always maintains an optimistic attitude towards the world, but the latter is downright pessimistic, both sides are extremes of each other."
Huang Man smiled and agreed: "Li Ba is still very accurate in judging people."
A group of people passed through the sea of clouds, and the road between the clouds looked like high walls of snow on both sides.
Cui Dongshan glanced at the young man who was following him at the end. He was given the name Wang Qiongju by Wang Zhu, with the courtesy name Yusha and the Taoist name "Hansu". In short, apart from his surname, everything else was related to "Snow".
[Recommended, Chasing Books is really easy to use. Download it here. You can try it soon.]
In the team, Wang Qiongju had no sense of presence. He was used as a coolie by Wang Zhu, carrying large and small packages on his shoulders.
The young man's forehead is slightly raised, and he has just been refining his body. Among the five opportunities in Lizhu Cave in the past, regardless of their respective fates, they only talk about their level of realm. This is actually the path that took the initiative to seek refuge with Song Jixin and Zhigui in Mubo Alley.
"Four-legged snake" has never been on the stage. It is still in the realm of caves. Do you have to eat too much to have enough food to fall into this situation? The only thing that can be talked about is the big purple gourd that Wang Qiongju is carrying on his back.
, the two characters "catch and release" in ancient seal script.
Cui Dongshan looked away and began to ramble, "Sister Ah Wu, you really don't plan to settle down with Yulong Sect? Anyway, you are an old acquaintance with Sect Master Nalan. With this kind of personal relationship, you can be the chief guest.
, effortless. ”
"As a Sandan who doesn't care about heaven or earth or the leader of a sect,
If you get paid for nothing and do nothing, wouldn’t you be free and at ease? Such good things make even me envious. I think that the weak-tempered Fairy Yunzhuan will only welcome Sister Awu to the extreme, since Yunzhuan has been willing to do so before.
He took the initiative to step down as the head of the sect and became a leader who was not worthy of the name. He must have been worried about the arrival of his sister. Let alone the chief guest minister, there are two of them. It is estimated that it would not be difficult to abdicate again and let sister Awu become the head of the sect.
.By the way, one day, I still bother Sister Awu to be a month old, so I just say that I am willing to be the chief guest of the Yulong Sect. The salary is easy to talk about, as long as I mean it."
"Besides, the Yulong Sect is much closer to Fuyao Continent than Donghai Mansion, the Great Li capital of Aquarius Continent, and the mansion of vassal king Song Mu. My sister's sect is not doing very well at the moment.
, Moreover, according to the rules of the Confucian Temple, if no new Jade Purity monk appears within the next hundred years, then the sect title will be lost. Sister Ah Wu really can't bear to see her master's family decline. Wang
Is Xiao Er’s New Year not as good as the previous one? After going to Yulong Sect, the juniors ran into trouble in Fuyao Island. As long as Sister Yu Feng is faster, she can settle the matter by herself without spending the incense accumulated there.
, so it seems that when I am the Patriarch of the Yulong Sect and the old master of the Taoist Sect, I sit in the Patriarch Hall with my younger brother, the chief guest, to listen to the discussions, and at the same time help the Yulong Sect form an alliance with our Qingping Sword Sect, and in one fell swoop
It’s a fool’s errand not to do it!”
Gong Yan cursed endlessly, this guy was like a roundworm in her belly, he knew everything clearly.
The young man in white sighed and said sadly with his eyes: "This metaphor is inappropriate. Roundworms are so disgusting. I, my little brother, am Sister Ah Wu's personal cotton-padded jacket."
Huang Man sneered, this metaphor is probably even more disgusting.
Gong Yan made up her mind not to speak.
She is also bold and bold, and it doesn't matter if she says a few naughty words. On Fuyao Island, Gong Yan was once known as a "beautiful person" on the mountain. She never thought that she could not defeat this "young man".
Cui Dongshan said with a smile: "One day I will let Chef Zhu, Brother Dafeng, Chief Zhou and Chief Mi gather together to chat with Sister Awu. That will be great."
Cui Dongshan quickly added a sentence and vowed: "I promise to be both meat and fish, elegant and vulgar!"
Wang Zhu looked indifferent and said: "Sect Leader Cui, let's talk about business."
Cui Dongshan raised his palm to cover his forehead, looked into the distance, and said with a smile: "We will be there soon. We will have enough food and drink to have the strength to talk about things."
Wang Zhu followed Cui Dongshan's line of sight and saw a green winding mountain range, like a green snake winding on the earth. She thought about it and had some memory of this dragon vein running north to south on the west coast of Tongye Continent. It was a pity that it was
In order to make way for the diversion to Dadu, a waterway was dug out under the orders of Dragon Lord Dadu, which abruptly cut off the complete dragon energy on land. As a result, the entire west coast of Tongye Continent no longer had a prosperous and powerful country, and most of them became vassals of great dynasties.
.
People say that the dragon breaks open, or that thunder strikes it in pieces.
Cui Dongshan smiled apologetically: "I didn't provide good hospitality, so I can only find a nearby place to treat you to a vegetarian meal."
The place to stay was a royal gymnasium built by an emperor in the mountains. It had been completely destroyed by the demon army before. Not long after the new king of the small country came to the throne, he ordered officials from the Ministry of Industry to find the blueprints. After spending a lot of material and financial resources, he was able to control the master.
The temple has been repaired as new, but the rest of the buildings are temporarily unable to be repaired.
A Taoist who is skilled in the art of looking at Qi can see that there are two kinds of cloud Qi, red and blue, floating and lingering in the mountains. This is what is called in Kanyu's book "the king's Qi lingers, and the dragon sheds and hides".
Cui Dongshan said: "It is really a blessing to have Sister Zhigui stay in the Taoist temple on the mountain. The old and young Taoist priests in the temple offer incense every day, light lamps every night, and spend ten husks of sesame oil every year. This sincerity is finally in vain."
"
In the vast world, the four new Shui Lords conferred by the Confucian Temple are responsible for dividing the four seas. They are ranked first in the newly compiled divine genealogy of Zhongtu Confucian Temple, which is the same as the rank of Suishan Great God.
The entire world's water transportation was divided into two. Among them, Mrs. Dandan of Lushuikeng, whose name was Qingzhong, was in charge of land water transportation in Jiuzhou. Even the monks at the top of the mountain didn't take her seriously.
Except for Wang Zhu, the other three water lords of the sea were all promoted step by step from the position of the water lord of the great lakes in various continents, such as Li Yehou, the water lord of Jiaoyue Lake in the Divine Continent of Middle Earth.
In addition, there is a female Lake Lord, Liu Rouxi, the Yuan Lord of Bishui Lake in Zhengrong Lake, who is now also the Water Lord in charge of the West Sea.
In the early years, this woman with the Taoist name Bishui Yuanjun posted a reward on the wall of Shanshi's knife room, targeting the Mohist ranger Xu Ruo. As for the twists and turns, outsiders don't know.
Wang Zhu squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, and suddenly said: "Sect Master Cui spent a lot of money over there, right?"
Cui Dongshan rubbed his hands and said: "Fortunately, it's just a little Guyu money, drizzle."
This place is called Hailong Mountain. When the weather is clear and the sky is cloudless, you can see the sea in the distance from the top of the mountain. Watching the sunrise over the sea is a unique experience. Moreover, three thousand years ago, when the dragons in the world were at their most prosperous, there were many dragons in the Dadu Dragon Palace.
Water ministers travel through clouds and rain, and many of them will cross here to travel between sea and land. The great dragon rain comes out of this place between the clouds and the moon, passing over the earth and thousands of miles of rivers, galloping in the blue sky and blue sky.
As someone who spent money to help rebuild the Taoist temple, Cui Dongshan not only built an attic in the Taoist temple to observe the sky at night, but also secretly built a loft to measure the flow trend of the East China Sea and investigate the amount of water transportation at the future entrance of Dadu into the sea.
The water measuring and weighing building shows that Cui Dongshan has long been sure that his husband will dig a large dam in Tongyezhou, so he is prepared for a rainy day, but that's all.
There were already two people waiting in the mountain, standing at the gate of the newly built but ancient Taoist Temple. However, they were both outsiders of the mountain temple.
Qingping Sword Master Cui Wei, the master of swordsmanship, and Cao Qinglang, the first peak master of Jingxing Peak. The former was recruited by Cui Dongshan to be a young man, but the latter is the key to success or failure.
"We're here, I'll step on the spot first, and you guys can follow."
Cui Dongshan was the first to rush on the road. Suddenly, he was several miles away and fell to the ground. Cao Qinglang bowed and saluted solemnly: "I have met Sect Master Cui."
If there were no outsiders present, Cao Qinglang would just call him Senior Brother Cui.
Cui Dongshan shook his sleeves and said helplessly: "Junior brother Cao, why don't you learn more about Cui Zhanglu? You don't have to fart when you see me. We are still brothers. We don't have to behave like this to outsiders."
Cao Qinglang smiled and said, "It's a rule for myself."
Cui Dongshan had a headache and said, "If I don't want to talk, I won't talk. Later I will talk about business with someone, so you just act based on my senior brother's eyes."
In fact, Cao Qinglang didn't know who he wanted to see when Brother Cui called him here until just now.
Cui Dongshan rubbed his face with both hands and waited for Wang Zhu and his entourage to land. Although Ximan was a pure martial artist and not familiar with spiritual practice, as long as he showed his true form as an earth dragon and could just be a coolie who moved mountains and unloaded mountains, it would be great.
.
As for Jade Taoist Huang Man, calling wind and rain is his specialty. Ordinary Taoist people really can't afford to offend Zhang Tiaoxia. This old martial artist who has been at the top of the world's martial arts for many years never conflicts with others easily.
But as long as you take action, it will never be easy.
Approaching the Taoist temple in the mountain, Huang Man suddenly asked in his heart: "Li Ba, can you and I join forces, with Xi Man supporting us, three against one?"
As for Gong Yan, forget it, she is destined to be unstoppable. This woman doesn't care about anything except making money.
Li Ba shook his head and said, "Don't be impulsive. It's not appropriate to have a grudge against this person."
Ximan really didn't like this godly and arrogant Cui Zongzhu. He felt uncomfortable all over. The look in the white-clothed young man's eyes was like that of an old bustard looking at a coward.
However, instead of asking about boxing, Ximan really didn't have any ideas, so Li Ba didn't agree to Taoist Yu's invitation, which made Ximan relieved.
A group of people came to the mountain gate.
Cui Wei was indifferent, his face paralyzed as always.
Cao Qinglang looked warm and bowed: "Cao Qinglang of Qingping Sword Sect and Jingxing Peak has met the Lord of Donghai Sea and all the senior immortal masters."
Wang Zhu smiled and nodded, "I once borrowed several of your imperial examination answer sheets when I was in the capital city of Dali. They were very well written, with brilliant writing and meaningful words."
Cao Qinglang smiled and said: "My husband has given me a lot of advice on the art of making."
Wang Zhu was noncommittal about this, but compared to how cold and cold she was when she got along with Cui Dongshan, facing Cao Qinglang, a "junior", her face was a little softer at the moment.
Gong Yan and Xi Man looked at each other, damn, have they finally met a normal person?
We all arrived at the Taoist Temple Hall, where food had been prepared. When Wang Zhu and Cui Dongshan picked up their chopsticks at the same time, everyone started eating.
Cui Dongshan mentioned Tongyezhou's plan to dig out a large road. Qingping Jianzong, as one of the initiators, sincerely invited Wang Zhu and Donghai Mansion to help and participate in it.
To the surprise of Gong Yan and others, Wang Zhu agreed very readily.
They knew the master's character very well. Because of the Water God's escort, there were many high-ranking Water Gods in the world, not to mention Li Yehou, a close neighbor who had to deal with them frequently. Even Mrs. Dandan who occasionally appeared a few times, Wang Zhu saw it.
, they all have no shame. During this period, I discussed matters with Wang Zhu twice, mostly with Mrs. Dandan accompanying her with a smiling face. She didn’t feel the slightest embarrassment of putting a hot face against a cold butt.
However, it was unexpected by Cui Dongshan. He mentioned this matter to his husband before, and he hit the mark. If Cui Dongshan came forward and only discussed business matters, not personal affairs, but business affairs, then the matter would be successful.
The possibility is more than 80%, but if Chen Pingan comes to "reminisce" with Wang Zhu, the possibility of failure is more than 80%. It is obvious that Chen Pingan has a good grasp of Wang Zhu's temper.
.
Excavation of the Great Dam, for Wang Zhu, was a profitable and profitable business. But for Wang Zhu, since the Great Dam was bound to appear, she could not take action.
If she is willing, it just depends on her mood. This choice is somewhat similar to the previous choice of Qingtong from the Demon Town who only wanted to lie down and enjoy the happiness. However, there are still some differences. Qingtong has his own selfish motives and is unwilling to
A sword cultivator interfered too much in Tongyezhou, which she regarded as her own territory, while Wang Zhu was just... lazy.
With a new road connecting the land of Tongye Continent and the waters of the East China Sea, the water gods of the entire Tongye Continent will be lower than the Lord of the East China Sea based on the original foundation.
In the past, the status of the two sides was very different, so they had to pay respect to Wang Zhu, but after all, there was a difference between the sea and the land. After that, it was the fate of the water, which would be more or less controlled by Wang Zhu. In short, as long as Dadu was with him, Wang Zhu
Zhu could completely transfer the entire central territory of Tongye Continent to the jurisdiction of the East China Sea by relying on the surging water flow across the continent.
So after Cui Dongshan gave a general introduction to the various allies, he said to the lion, "Donghai Mansion must give a sum of money first, and it must not be less than the four thousand Grain Rain coins from Baofengzhai. If you are willing to give more, of course the better, the more the merrier."
.In addition, I also want to borrow Huang Man and Xi Man, who will help move rivers and move mountains respectively. Without delaying the escort of the Water God, both parties need to rush to Tongyezhou land "Dianmao" as soon as they have free time.
As for the specific size of the contribution, we will clearly calculate the accounts and record them in the temporary ancestor hall. We have agreed in advance that Huang Man and Xi Man will be responsible for the excavation and dredging of a section of the Dadu Riverbed. The specific length can be reviewed later.
Let’s talk slowly and carefully, let’s set the general direction today.”
Huang Man and Xi Man looked at each other, speechless, and could only smile bitterly. Just now, they were talking about whether they should join forces to beat up the boy in white. Retribution has come so soon?
Wang Zhu said: "Four thousand? No problem, I can add another 10,000 grain rain coins."
Cui Dongshan had just picked up a piece of vegetarian food with chopsticks. When he heard this, his wrists immediately trembled and he almost dropped it back on the plate. He quickly took a deep breath, raised his hand, and gently held the snow-white sleeve he named "the stupid place".
The little chicken pecked at the rice and said, "Okay, let's settle on it, fourteen thousand Grain Rain coins!"
Cui Zongzhu felt very sad, and he was so angry that people were so angry. He really didn’t know how many old dragon palaces, ruins of immortal mansions, and treasures from the sea that Wang Zhu had fished over the years in the sea!
Wang Zhu said sarcastically: "Since Sect Leader Cui has so many friends on the mountain, why don't we just call in more people to help fill the gap?"
Cui Dongshan laughed and said: "Girl Zhigui's 14,000 Grain Rain money is enough to make the final decision. After all, I owe money to borrow money, so the more the merrier is not."
In the business world, for the same amount of immortal money, for example, Bao Fengzhai and Zhang Zhi casually took out four thousand Grain Rain coins, and the old immortal Lu from Qinghu Palace in Qingjing Mountain sold iron to get the four thousand Grain Rain coins. See,
The amount is the same, but for that business, it is a completely different concept, because when Lu Yong gave money, he just gave money, but Zhang Zhi was not the same. Since he was going to make money, he would give
In addition to more money and intangible resources such as connections, Zhang Zhi's Bao Fu Zhai is like this, let alone the Ai Aizhou Liu family.
Cui Dongshan continued: "If we want to dig out a large channel with stable water transportation, it will definitely take a long time. It will not be completed in a few years. I would like to bother the Shuifu Mansion to deploy a group of capable subordinates, at least thirty people, and then
Send out many daffodils, shrimp soldiers and crab generals, the number of which is at least 30,000. From now on, when the escort of the water gods comes to an end, they will all pass through the waterway at the mouth of the sea and push inland with the water. In short, they will do whatever they can."
It was also my husband's secret instruction. When doing business with Wang Zhu, you just have to raise the price. If you raise the price lower, she may find it meaningless.
The kings of the four seas each have jurisdiction over all water transportation around the land of the two continents.
The key to the height and refinement of the golden body in the future depends on the four Shuijun colleagues. Who can reach the mainland within the rules of the Confucian Temple? On the Aquarius Continent, in fact, Wang Zhu
The room for operation is extremely limited, extremely limited. The Shengaozong, Fengxue Temple and Zhenwushan are two military ancestral palaces where Tianjun Qizhen is seated. The Yunlin Jiang family is located at the mouth of Qidu, plus Luopo Mountain.
Yangshan, Yunxiashan, etc., Qidu already has two princes of Dadu, Changchun Hou Yanghua and Linli Bo Cao Yong. In addition, there are also Wei Bo, Jin Qing, Fan Junmao and other Wuyue Mountain Lords. What's more?
Banzhou is the territory of the Great Li Imperial Court...
On the other hand, in Tongyezhou, the Donghai Sea Mansion obviously has a lot to offer. The more the mountains and rivers here are broken, the old fairy mansions have declined and fallen into disarray. Some have moved to the colorful world, or they have struggled to mend the old mountain top of the master gate, or they have re-selected a new location... to really get it.
In fact, the only sects that took action were the local Snake Yu Guizong and the Guojiang Long Qingping Sword Sect. Wang Zhu and Shui Mansion intervened in the land and water transportation affairs. Not only did they not violate the etiquette and rules of the Confucian Temple, but they could accumulate merit. That's why Huang Man and Ximan just
Neither of them asked Wang Zhu what he meant. The two of them were definitely going to work as coolies.
Cui Dongshan said with a smile: "As I said before, the land and sea are different, and the customs are different. In the future, we will join hands to dig the dam, and some conflicts are inevitable. In the future, the officials of the Water Palace will go ashore to participate in the discussion in the council hall, each holding his own opinion. Why?
It doesn't matter if you quarrel, or you can even make an appointment outside, but it's best not to cause trouble, otherwise it will be difficult to end it."
Ai Aizhou Liu's family and Zhang Zhi's Baofu Zhai are actually easy to say. Mr. You is a unique golden sign in the world. What's more, Liu Jubao and Zhang Zhi are both famous in the world for their ways of controlling people. I believe there won't be any trouble.
Yao Mozi, only Wang Zhu's Water Mansion has the biggest variables.
Wang Zhu said: "Then let Cao Qinglang be responsible for communicating with the Shui Mansion on specific matters. If there is a problem, it is best to ventilate it in advance and then take it to the council hall to argue."
Cao Qinglang was caught off guard and glanced at Cui Dongshan.
Cui Dongshan smiled and nodded, "Of course it's no problem, let's settle it. Cao Qinglang has just formed an elixir and is now an Earth Immortal. Traveling down the mountain can be put on the agenda. By chance, it's not the case. Cao Qinglang will be able to run a few more times.
Let’s go to Donghai Mansion and get familiar with the situation there. It’s a long sea route, so I’m afraid Suijun will need to temporarily lend Cao Qinglang a legendary Dragon God cross-sea talisman to prevent him from spending too much time on the road.”
Wang Zhu smiled and nodded, and took out the long-lost "a talisman" from his sleeve. It was said to be a talisman, but it was actually a pocket-sized golden dragon. Wang Zhu shook it casually, and the ban on the talisman was broken, and then he gently
He threw it to Cao Qinglang and said, "You're welcome. I'm giving it to you. Just treat it as a gift to congratulate you on forming the elixir."
When a monk holds this talisman, he can enter the water like riding a dragon and travel across rivers and seas at a speed that is equivalent to that of an immortal traveling with all his strength.
Cao Qinglang caught the "talisman" with both hands, put it in his sleeves, and stood up to express his thanks.
Wang Zhu did not get up, but just nodded. Looking at this young monk who looked slightly scholarly and pedantic, she smiled.
Cao Qinglang's rules and etiquette made Gong Yan and others even more surprised. They were surprised that he was actually a Taoist with a normal mind!
Cui Dongshan was filled with emotion.
The junior brother Cao next to me is indeed one of the two most proud students of Mr. Cao. He is as lovable as his senior brother and is popular wherever he goes.
Wang Zhu then threw Cui Dongshan an object in the shape of a celadon brush with a dragon entwining it, and said: "There are fifteen thousand Grain Rain coins in it, so just round it up. The extra thousand Grain Rain coins,
A mansion can be built near this Taoist temple, and it will be used as one of our summer residences on the shore of Tongye Island in the future. Except for Huang Man and Xi Man who are at your disposal, the temporary ancestral hall, a mixed bag of fish and dragons, only needs to be reserved for Li Ba
A chair will suffice. Li Ba will talk to you about all matters big and small in Shuifu. His attitude is what Shuifu means."
Cui Dongshan quickly put down his chopsticks, took the item that was close at hand, raised his sleeves and wiped his mouth. He also followed Cao Qinglang's example and stood up, bowing to express his thanks.
Harmony brings wealth, and after eating a light vegetarian meal that is not extravagant, Cui Dongshan will return to the Linghe River and continue to encourage the Luoyang wooden guest named Pang Chao to choose a site by the Linghe River. He suggested that Wang Zhu and his entourage go to Luoyang of the Yu Dynasty.
If you are in Beijing, you must go to Jicui Temple to sit, have a cup of tea, and then go to the Lantern Riddle House for a meal. The account can be written down on the head of Dai Yuan of the Qingzhuan Sect. You are absolutely welcome.
From the beginning to the end, Cui Wei, the supervisor, never said a word.
If Cui Dongshan had not introduced Cui Zhanglu at the dinner table, and his hometown was the Great Sword Qi Wall, Huang Man and the others would have mistakenly thought that this mute was a local swordsman who was deeply hidden in Tongyezhou, or Cui Dongshan's
Family worship.
Knowing that Cui Wei came from the Great Wall of Sword Qi, except for Wang Zhu and Gong Yan, they felt that it was both unexpected and reasonable. With Chen Ping'an, the last hidden official, bringing back Haoran and several sword immortals was really nothing.
First there was Mi Yu, who shone brightly on the battlefield of Laolong City, and then there was Cui Wei, the unsmiling person in front of him. I just don’t know the level of Cui Zhanglu and his swordsmanship. Is it possible that he is better than Mi Yu?
Cui Wei still didn't say anything.
Cui Dongshan pokes at the heart, and if outsiders want to poke at him, his own family members won't let it go either.
Walking out of the dining hall together, Cui Dongshan stopped in the corridor, put his hands in his sleeves, and said with a smile: "Sister Zhigui, now Qingping Sword Sect has two ferries, and there will be more and more Xianjia ferries belonging to us in the future. Is there any
Are you interested in doing some small business together?"
Wang Zhu said: "I'm not short of money, but not interested."
Cui Dongshan raised his arms and wiped his face with his sleeves, feeling aggrieved. These words hurt his feelings, so he shouldn't talk about it more and bring trouble to himself.
Cui Dongshan said softly: "As high as the bright sun and moon, as large as the deep rivers and lakes, living in hiding to cultivate the true spirit, you might as well watch the changes in the sky and wait for the time."
Since he is a true dragon, clouds and rain will be flowing.
Wang Zhu remained silent.
Cui Dongshan suddenly smiled brightly and said: "Be cautious when your fortune is good, and be calm when the situation is adverse. Of course, this sentence can be said like this, or it can be said in reverse order. Anyway, it sounds good. I believe that as long as
If you are calm in the face of adversity, things will naturally turn around, good things will happen one after another, and everything will be stable.”
Wang Zhu said: "Zongzhu Cui likes to chat so much. Does he want to drink tea after dinner?"
Cui Dongshan laughed and said: "No, no, there will be many opportunities in the future, so it's better to save it for now."
Wang Zhu and his party rode against the wind and walked away.
Gong Yan said with a smile: "It's a bit embarrassing to say it is obedient. It's rare for Cui Dongshan not to say weird things."
The corners of Wang Zhu's mouth turned up, half-smiling but not smiling, "Because the original words were not said by him."
Under the eaves of the Taoist temple, Cui Dongshan was not in a hurry and reminded with a smile: "From now on, when you get along with Li Ba, you can be polite in small things, but don't be accommodating in big things. You don't have to be afraid of being domineering, and there is no need to deliberately show kindness to Li Ba.
This old guy has the temper of a donkey. He will go backwards if he is not led away, so if he doesn’t scold him, it will be in vain. If he doesn’t fight, it will be in vain. In addition, I suspect that Wanyan Laojing once tried to win over Li Ba. Although Li Ba refused,
At least he didn't take the initiative to tip off the Confucian Temple. It was just a guess that Wanyan Laojing was dead. There was no evidence to prove his death. Li Ba couldn't be arrested and tortured. It was impossible for Li Ba to have used some kind of lock.
The secret technique of the soul that closes the door of the heart, or simply erases all this memory."
"Cao Qinglang, assuming this really happens, how do you think Li Ba should be dealt with?"
"Although it is true that he did nothing, if he informed the Confucian Temple of the news, wouldn't many people in Jinjiazhou die? Then can it be said that it was Li Ba's concealment of the matter, and his inaction, indirectly
Those people were killed? If Wanyan Laojing is guilty of indiscriminate killing, assuming it is ten percent, how many percent can Li Ba take?"
"Suppose you are 50% sure that you can search Li Ba's soul and find out the truth. Will you take action? If you are 50% hesitant, how about 80% or 100% certainty?"
Cui Wei suddenly looked nervous.
And he was just an outsider who was not being questioned.
Cao Qinglang said: "If I were Wanyan Laojing, and I mentioned this matter secretly to Li Ba at that time, if I was rejected, or if I felt that Li Ba was just paying lip service to it and chose to be conciliatory, I would erase Li Ba's memory on the spot and erase everything.
Traces, Wanyan Laojing is in the Ascension Realm, and Li Ba is just Jade Pu, so even if the latter wants to inform the Confucian Temple, he can't."
"Junior Brother Cao, of course you are not Wanyan Laojing."
Cui Dongshan smiled and said: "We have all read the books of sages!"
It seems that true scholars like to embarrass themselves most.
Cao Qinglang suddenly turned sideways, took a few steps back, faced Cui Dongshan, lowered his head and bowed.
Not only was Cui Wei confused, Cui Dongshan also felt strange, "What?"
Cao Qinglang never straightened up and stood up. He lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Some senior brothers have set up a charade for junior brothers. I can stand it, but I can't, so I ask senior brother Cui to show mercy!"
Cui Dongshan stamped his feet and said: "You are talking nonsense, you are talking nonsense, it feels like you have been punched in the heart. You have to talk to your conscience. Is my junior brother the kind of person who can't keep his head clear?!"
Cao Qinglang stood up and said with a smile: "I don't care about this. Anyway, I will talk to my husband about it as soon as possible, just to prepare for a rainy day. If the day comes, I won't feel well, and senior brother, don't even think about running away!"
Cui Dongshan was so angry that he pointed at this junior brother, "The conscience of heaven and earth can be judged by the sun and the moon. Junior brother, I have no such idea at all. It's better for you. You have to make something out of nothing, and then complain to the teacher like that. Have you ever thought about it, junior brother?"
What's the situation? Ah?! Is there anyone in the world like you who is a junior fellow student? How did you get that cross-sea talisman in your sleeve that hasn't covered the heat yet? If Wang Zhu pretends not to understand the hint, I, as a junior fellow apprentice,
I even went to help you snatch it, how do you repay senior brother like this? You have to show your heart to your heart!"
Cao Qinglang said seriously: "Senior Brother Cui said it himself, you should be calm when walking in adversity."
Cui Dongshan was stunned for a moment, shook his sleeves, and shouted: "Cui Zhanglu, stop me quickly, or I will teach you my skills!"
Cui Wei was not stupid and said with a smile: "Why should I, an outsider, get involved in the family affairs between your senior fellow apprentices, lest we become strangers inside and out?"
Cui Dongshan's eyes turned sharply, he stood on tiptoes and hugged Cao Qinglang's shoulders, "Junior brother Cao, don't complain. I'm sincere. I'm begging you. Now, sir, I'm not pleased with you in every way.
He is one of the most respected and proud students of my husband. It would be inappropriate for him to do this again. It is really inappropriate."
"Cao Qinglang, don't forget. Now I am the master of a sect, and you are just the master of Jingxing Peak. Even if you don't talk about the friendship between brothers, don't do the following. I have obtained the true inheritance of Mr., and I am the most unruly person in the world.
Hold a grudge!”
"Brother Cao! Please have mercy on me. If my husband finds out about this, he will really beat me to a pig's head. The problem is that I was wronged. Uncle Cao, my little ancestor, do you really want me to kneel down for you?"
Do you want to kowtow a few times? Cui Wei, don’t watch the show, quickly step aside and come back after I finish kowtowing..."
Of course, Cao Qinglang would not really let Senior Brother Cui do this. He held his arms with both hands and promised with a smile: "I will definitely not complain."
Cui Dongshan was doubtful and said: "I don't believe it, I have to swear an oath."
Cao Qinglang smiled and said, "Forget it."
Cui Dongshan quickly grabbed Cao Qinglang's arm with his backhand, "Senior Brother, you are just joking. You can't trust anyone, not Junior Brother Cao."
"It's time for sir to arrive at his hometown by now."
After Cao Qinglang walked out of the Taoist temple, he looked at the green mountains and green waters in early spring in the distance outside the mountain, and suddenly said: "Brother Cui, it seems that whenever it snows in our Luolu Mountain, it always turns whiter than elsewhere, and when the snow melts, it melts better than elsewhere.
slow."
Cui Dongshan was relieved and sighed.
I know that the implication of Cao Qinglang's junior brother's words is that their husband has a certain state of mind.
To outsiders, the snow-covered mountains are a beautiful sight, but the hard work hidden beneath the beautiful scenery may be known to Cui Dongshan and Cao Qinglang, but no one knows how much hard work it is.
Life is full of helplessness, suffering is in vain, the suffering is unbearable, and it is unbearable. It is like drinking wine and not getting drunk all your life, drinking tea without feeling the bitterness without returning the sweetness, so what should I say?
Cao Qinglang said softly: "It's difficult to travel at night. It's easy to keep your head down. But when you raise your head, you'll be surrounded by suspicious eyes like willows and rumors like a raging flood."
Cui Dongshan held the back of his head with both hands and said with a smile: "Let's encourage each other."
Whether he is complaining or encouraging himself, Cao Qinglang is qualified to say these things.
How many young people have left their hometown and never looked back.
Some have high aspirations and refuse to look back.
But there are also some people, who are still teenagers, who no longer dare to look back at their childhood.
Cui Dongshan was silent for a moment, turned his head, and said with aggrieved face: "Junior Brother Cao, you better make an oath, otherwise I won't be able to sleep."
It’s not that Cao Qinglang can’t be trusted, it’s that Cui Dongshan can’t trust certain customs of his own family.
Cao Qinglang smiled and said: "Senior Brother Cui is boring when chatting like this."
Cui Dongshan raised a hand, hooked his fingers toward the sky, and muttered "dong dong dong, rumble, rumble." Indeed, bursts of thunder sounded in the clear sky.
Cui Dongshan squinted at the scorching sun.
The sun is high in the sky, making people dare not look directly at it for a long time.
It is said that the sun is the gathering place of countless hearts.
