In his previous life, he had a deep impression on this third prince.
Under Emperor Yong's knees, there were more than ten princes. The third prince was his legitimate son and the most powerful contender for the throne with the eldest prince.
Therefore, he has great power in the court.
"I didn't expect that this caravan is actually related to the third prince... Deacon Li brought an autographed letter from the third prince. What kind of goods are in this caravan?"
Lei Xingkong was confused, but before he had time to think about it, he saw the young man from the Yulin Army who had just entered at the gate of the inn with the third prince's letter coming out again.
The young man handed the letter back to Deacon Li and said, "My young master said that for the sake of the Third Prince, he will let you live in the inn today."
Deacon Li took the letter, put it in his arms again, and quickly thanked him: "Thank you, Master Jun. I will go in and pay homage to your young master. Thank you in person."
"No need!"
The young man waved his hand and said disgustedly: "My young master is already asleep, don't disturb him."
"Yes! Yes!" Deacon Li nodded quickly and said, "Then I will go and thank you tomorrow!"
The two young men went back inside and opened the gate of the inn. As they walked away, they warned: "I can tell you, be gentle with your hands and feet. If you make any noise and disturb my young master, even the third prince will
I can’t protect you.”
Deacon Li respectfully agreed again.
After the two young men had left, Deacon Li waved his hand to the caravan to park the carriage and enter the inn.
Lei Xingkong withdrew his gaze and thought secretly: "The Yulin Army is the Imperial Forbidden Army, and the only ones who can use them when not in war are the royal family members... This means that the young master inside should be a descendant of a certain royal family member.
, and his status is not low, otherwise he would know that Deacon Li is the Third Prince’s man, yet he would still speak so rudely, as if he was not worried about offending the Third Prince at all.”
Shangdu successfully entered the inn.
Lei Xingkong didn't waste any time. He said hello to Zhou Jiuzhong and Zhou Xiaozhi, and went to sleep on the bunk.
…
It's quiet at night.
In the open space outside the inn, carriages were parked neatly together.
Among the bodyguards, three people were assigned to keep watch all night.
Jin Hongwu came out of the post station carrying a leather bag and greeted the three people: "Brothers, how are you doing?"
When the three bodyguards saw Jin Hongwu, they quickly stood up and said: "Second Master Jin!"
Jin Hongwu waved his hand and smiled at them: "I just came here to take a look. You all should be careful tonight. My eldest brother told me that at times like this, we should not take it lightly. We must not capsize the boat in the gutter."
"Don't worry, Mr. Jin, we will take good care of you."
"That's right, Mr. Jin will go back to sleep. I won't miss anything."
"Also tell Boss Jin, don't worry."
The three of them repeated their assurances.
General Jin Hong handed the leather bag in his hand to them and said with a smile: "My elder brother was afraid that it would be too cold for you to keep vigil at night, so I packed some soju for you. Don't drink too much."
"Thank you, Second Master!" The three of them took the skin bag with smiles on their faces.
Jin Hongwu took out another oil paper bag from his arms and said: "There is also some soy sauce beef. You can eat it while I go over there and take a look."
The three people did not doubt that he was there and thanked them profusely.
Jin Hongwu walked around the carriages for a week, finally found Zhou Jiuzhong's carriage and walked over.
As soon as the caravan checked into the inn, the drivers of each carriage immediately prepared everything so that they could start their journey the next morning.
Dry food, water, horse feed and other supplies have been distributed and prepared, and placed on the carriage.
Jin Hongwu found the three leather bags on the carriage, took out the small porcelain bottle from his arms, and quickly poured the venom of the dim snake in the small porcelain bottle into it.
Immediately, he turned back the same way, as if he had never done anything...
…
Early the next morning, the caravan set off again.
After another good night's sleep, Lei Xingkong's energy has basically recovered.
Sitting in the car, looking at the pastoral scenery of Biyun County, he and Zhou Jiuzhong started chatting together.
Zhou Jiuzhong said: "Although Biyun County is adjacent to our Qingshui County, the folk customs are very different from our Qingshui County."
Lei Xingkong asked: "How is it different?"
Zhou Jiuzhong introduced: "Our Qingshui County has poor mountains and harsh waters. All the towns and villages in the county advocate martial arts and defend the land and protect the people, so there are many brave men in the county. But Biyun County is different. Their entire county is not on par with other countries."
We are neighbors, so the folk customs are relatively simple, and most of the people in Biyun County worship gods, and there are countless temples and buildings in the county, so they are kinder than the people in other counties."
"I see!"
Although Lei Xingkun passed by Biyun County many times in his life, he didn't pay attention to it at that time, so he didn't know much about Biyun County.
At this time, after hearing Zhou Jiuzhong's narration, I gained this insight.
Zhou Jiuzhong smiled and asked: "Brother Lei, you probably don't know why the people of Biyun County worship gods so much?"
"Why?"
Lei Xingkong asked curiously: "Is there any special reason for this?"
Zhou Jiuzhong said: "Because a great immortal once appeared in Biyun County."
"ah?"
Lei Xingkong became even more curious and hurriedly said: "Uncle Zhou, tell me quickly, what kind of great immortal has appeared in Biyun County."
Zhou Jiuzhong said: "There is a Xisheng Palace in the west of the capital city. The Xuanli Taoism is enshrined in it, which is the state religion of our Kingdom of Dayong. The successive owners of the Palace of the West are all the national teachers of our Kingdom of Dayong. Legend has it that in those days
The founder of Xuanli Tao, the founder of Xuanli Tao, was from Biyun County."
West Holy Palace?
Lei Xingkong couldn't help but recall the Jian Nanzi he had seen on the night of the beast tide.
Back then, Jian Nanzi took away the "Great Witch Book" and the finger bones of the great warrior witch of the Wu clan, and also threw a jade tablet to Lei Xingkong, saying that if he encounters trouble in the future, he can take this jade tablet to find it in the West Saint Palace.
he.
Lei Xingkong always kept that small jade plaque on his waist.
"I heard what the giant wolf said that day that the sect where Jian Nanzi belongs to should be the Xuanli Sword Sect. The Xuanli Dao that Uncle Zhou mentioned should be the name of the Xuanli Sword Sect among ordinary people." Lei Xing
Kong thought secretly.
Zhou Jiuzhong was in a deep conversation and continued: "People in Biyun County have rumors that a long time ago, Biyun County was not peaceful at first. There were countless demons running rampant in the county, and the lives of the people were in danger... The birth of Patriarch Xuanli
In an ordinary family, he had the ambition to slay demons since he was a child... From the age of one, Patriarch Xuanli began to practice swordsmanship diligently and became a disciple of many swordsman masters... Later, Patriarch Xuanli broke away from his family and became a Taoist.
He became a swordsman and finally wiped out the demons and thieves in the county in one fell swoop. There are a few jokes in this, let me tell you about it... Therefore, the people in the county are willing to worship the founder of Xuanli and pay homage to him sooner or later..."
Started practicing swordplay at the age of one?
Although Lei Xingkong listened intently on the surface, he couldn't help but smile in his heart.
You can only listen to these folk myths and legends, but don't take them too seriously.
He was reborn in this life, and he had the sanity of an adult since he was born. He couldn't practice martial arts and swords at the age of one. After all, his body was not too weak yet... but those legends said that Patriarch Xuanli could actually
If you practice swordsmanship for many years, is it really that you are born with a divine body?
However, if you don't take it seriously, listening to Zhou Jiuzhong's narration can still make people enjoy it and learn a lot about the folk customs of Biyun County.
