Chapter 399 If I were Lu Jing, I wouldn't dare to come to the Great Barren Mountain
There seem to be a lot more tigers on Taihua Mountain.
On the mountains covered with white snow, the black tigers are quite eye-catching.
Ning Yandong saw it several times from a distance while hunting, and reported it to the official when he returned to Taihua City.
But for some unknown reason, the officials and staff in the city lord's palace carefully recorded the matter, and then nothing was written about it.
Ning Yandong was afraid that the tigers would hurt people, so he united with more than a dozen hunters to hunt the tigers first.
They went there five or six times in half a winter, but they saw no sign of those ferocious tigers.
If it weren't for the fact that the hunters who went to hunt the tigers were familiar with him and trusted him, and Ning Yandong had no reason to take pleasure in them, he probably wouldn't have been able to hunt tigers five or six times.
Later, even Ning Yandong had some doubts about whether he had seen it wrong. In addition, as winter turned to spring, Taihua Mountain became more green, and there had never been news in Taihua City that someone was swallowed by a tiger. Ning Yandong
In the cold winter, this matter gradually faded away.
The school next door to the City Lord's Mansion has finally been opened.
The mysterious Mr. Lu who came from nowhere became a school teacher.
Interestingly, besides Mr. Lu, there are two other gentlemen in this school.
A gentleman named Wei Jingzhe taught a subject called Confucian classics, which was all about enlightenment knowledge.
Another gentleman is called Shi Daiqing. He looks young, but he is tall and burly. When the children are studying, they play and exercise with Mr. Shi.
Dafu people are not averse to physical exercise rituals.
After all, if you want to achieve good results in the scientific examination, the riding and archery sword body is indispensable, and it is always beneficial to practice it early.
As for Mr. Lu, he teaches calligraphy.
Ning Yandong's sister Ning Zhuxia also helps in the school, and from time to time joins the children in enlightenment.
Over the past few days, she has also recited the Thousand-Character Classic of Hundreds of Family Names and learned to write many characters, which surprised Ning Yandong.
It is for this reason that every time Ning Yandong went hunting and had excellent harvests, he would always give a lot to Mr. Lu.
Perhaps because he is still young, Mr. Lu is never polite and seems to like eating these game meats very much. Sometimes when Ning Yandong meets Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu will take the initiative to ask Ning Yandong if he has any extra gains.
If it were anyone else, Ning Yandong might think that Mr. Lu in this school likes to take advantage, but that school teaches more than a hundred children, and Mr. Lu doesn't charge even a penny, and even takes care of lunch during the day.
This incident caused an uproar in Taihua City. Taihua City could not be called rich, and too many people were just struggling to survive.
It's okay to be able to send your own children to school to learn knowledge. After all, in the past few decades, Taihua City has been a rare place for scholars, not to mention talents. Taihua City is located in a remote area, too far from the center of Dafu, and far away from the mountain road.
The chief official's attitude towards Taihua City has always been dispensable, so the people here do not expect their children to change their lives by studying.
But when the children go to school, they can take care of a meal at noon... For ordinary families in Taihua City, this is really a great thing.
Suddenly, the small school next to the city lord's palace was crowded with people.
It's a pity that Mr. Lu accepts students. Although they don't have to study, they still have to take the school entrance examination.
Some children live too far away and cannot come to school every day.
Despite all these reasons, there are still more than 260 children attending classes in this elementary school every day. There are only a handful of enlightenment schools with this number in the entire Yuanshan Road, not to mention Taihua City.
countable.
"In fact, stupid children should study more. It's a pity that this small courtyard is not big. Before the new library is built, more smart children will be taught. After the library is built, these smart children can take the new children to study together.
."
Shi Daiqing took Xu Wugui to transport the last snow in the courtyard into the well.
Xu Wugui is much taller and has a small pendant around his neck.
The pendant is made of stone, and is a stone figure.
Xu Wugui would still hold the pendant and talk to the stone man in a low voice from time to time.
Although this child is young, he has a lot of resilience and keeps on reading, writing and practicing.
Shi Daiqing was a figure in the military, and he liked children like this the most, so these days, Shi Daiqing would take Xu Wugui with him wherever he went.
Xu Wugui would also take Zhaoye with him when he went out.
"Zhao Ye is Mr. Lu's mount. It's not good to be trapped in the courtyard all day. Taihua City is so big. Although it's a little deserted, it's enough for Zhao Ye to ride around."
Xu Wugui finished transporting the snow in the courtyard and washed the horses in the courtyard.
The soft brush brushed against Zhaoye's body, which seemed to make Zhaoye quite satisfied.
"Zhaoye really likes you." Wei Jingzhe sat cross-legged under the eaves.
He was born as a groom. He originally raised horses in General Xuanwei's mansion, so he naturally knew the habits of famous horses.
“The living beings in this world are born with huge differences.
Even for a famous horse like Zhaoye Jade Lion, its energy and blood can easily break black iron. Even if the innate warriors stabbed with their spears, they could not penetrate its body.
But even though Zhao Ye is so tyrannical, his intelligence is still that of a three or four year old child."
"But humans, monsters, and demons, even if they have never practiced spiritual practice, are very clear in their minds.
Another example is those real dragons. They don't even need to practice. They only need time to grow hard scales, sharp fangs, and sharp dragon claws.
You can even transform into a human form when you reach the realm of divine fire, and you are simply loved by heaven and earth."
Shi Daiqing sighed with some sigh in his tone.
But Wei Jingzhe grinned: "It's a pity that these true dragons are unworthy of the love of heaven and earth. Although the world is vast, except for the demon kingdoms on the sea and those special places, the people who rule the world are ultimately humans.
Moreover... Xu Wugui, Zhuo Yaoluo, and Zhao Ye have eaten a lot of dragon pills made from the True Dragon Dragon Balls."
When Wei Jingzhe mentioned Long Dan, Xu Wugui, who was wiping Zhaoye's body, suddenly stopped.
There was more worry on his face, and there was also longing in his expression.
"I wonder where Sister Qingyue is at this time?" Xu Wugui said: "Originally, his wedding date with Mr. Lu has been decided. If it weren't for the old man in the palace..."
When Xu Wugui said this, he became angry and threw the brush into the bucket fiercely, making water splash.
Wei Jingzhe hissed, probably because he was afraid that Lu Jing would hear him.
Shi Daiqing shook his head: "My lord just went out."
…
The female crown in yellow is holding a fly whisk, stretching her neck to look at the landscape at the bottom of the mountain.
"City Lord Jiang, this is no child's play.
It is said that the eldest son of the Northern Qin Dynasty was one of the most skilled craftsmen in the world, and he was the best at forging murder weapons.
The flaming chariot under the Great Candle Throne was forged by the eldest son of the Northern Qin Dynasty.
In addition, the eldest son of the Northern Qin Dynasty entered Taoism by forging tools, but he actually practiced the method of swallowing Qi. During the spiritual tide decades ago, many immortal geniuses died in his hands.
There are even rumors that the son of the lord of Langfeng City was killed by the eldest son of the Northern Qin Dynasty. At that time, the Qin State was not as powerful as it is now. Emperor Chongtian even rewarded King Zhuzhu for this, praising him for raising a good son.
.
For such a person, it's just a matter of inviting others to come and have a drink. Mr. Lu Jing is now very popular and extremely talented. There are very few people in the younger generation who can match him, so why risk going to that wild mountain."
The young lady in yellow was speaking with a bit of blush on her face.
As soon as Jiang Xianshi saw the expression on the yellow-clothed female crown, she knew that she was just like the old female crown, who enjoyed looking at beautiful people.
"Master Dragon Crown, it would be too rude of you to stare at Mr. Lu Jing like this."
Jiang Xianshi whispered: "Of course I don't want Mr. Lu to go to Dahuang Mountain.
The eldest son of the Northern Qin Dynasty was extremely arrogant. He once disguised himself and sneaked into Landuo Temple, hoping to meet the mysterious Ksitigarbha Buddha.
Emperor Banyanmi woke up from his dream and pointed out the identity of the eldest son of the Northern Qin Dynasty, but he refused to retreat and stayed in front of Langtuo Mountain for thirty-six days until Ksitigarbha Buddha came down from the mountain gate to discuss the Tao with him."
The Lord of the Dragon Crown on Mount Taihua disapproved and said, "Then let the eldest son come by himself and ignore his invitation.
It is much better to meet the eldest son of Northern Qin on Mount Taihua than to go to the wilderness mountain."
Jiang Xianshi smiled bitterly: "The eldest son of Northern Qin is arrogant, but Mr. Lu Jing is not an ordinary master.
"Both of them are world-famous figures. Mr. Lu Jing has seen the name of the eldest son of the Northern Qin Dynasty in countless miscellaneous notes. At this time, the eldest son invited me. I think Mr. Lu Jing seems to be interested."
"And... in my opinion, the reason why the eldest son of Northern Qin invited Mr. Lu Jing is probably because he wanted to win over Mr. Lu Jing."
The female crown in yellow saw Lu Jing at the foot of the mountain talking to a hunter from a distance, gradually disappearing into the fog, and replied: "What is there to worry about? What kind of character does Mr. Lu Jing have? The Legalists of the Northern Qin Dynasty were in power.
Mr. Lu Jing will definitely not agree to that Mr. Qin’s request.”
"If we fail to win over him, I'm afraid that the eldest young master will have murderous intentions.
Many years ago, during the battle of Tian Guan coming to the world, he once took action in an attempt to kill Yu Qianyi, the king of Chong'an." Jiang Xianshi was worried: "Because Mr. Lu is here, Taihua's veins gradually revived and became stronger than before.
It is much thicker. If something happens to Mr. Lu..."
When Jiang Xianxi said this, he sighed again.
"It's a pity that my cultivation level is too weak, and I am still far away from the realm of heaven and man.
If there is no spiritual wave coming, I'm afraid I won't be able to enter the Eighth Realm, otherwise I can accompany Mr. Lu."
Dragon Crown Master turned around and looked at Jiang Xianshi.
The yellow robe on her body moved with the wind, and she had a look of realization on her face.
"City Master Jiang, although I am young, I am not stupid. No wonder you came to me specifically today and talked to me so much.
It turned out that he was trying to steal my master’s relics.”
Jiang Xianshi smiled calmly and said: "After all, the Huangwa Taoist Temple is also the Taoist temple of Taihua Mountain, and it is Master Qin's last wish to restore the Taihua veins to their original state.
You take the yellow tile whisk and accompany Mr. Lu Jing to the wilderness mountains, and when you come back, the city lord's palace will pay for you to repair the Taoist temple."
The head of the dragon crown shakes like a rattle.
"This is not possible. Once a treasure like Huang Wa's whisk is looked down upon by others, how can I protect it with my cultivation?"
Jiang Xianshi looked at the too gentle female crown in yellow and said, "You have such a treasure as a fly whisk, and you are the only person in the world who can control this treasure, but you are still afraid that others will snatch it away.
Whoever comes to snatch your whisk, you will smash his head with the whisk."
The Dragon Crown Master nodded blankly, it seemed that this was indeed the case.
Besides...Mr. Lu Jing is really good-looking, so being able to travel with him is a great thing.
On weekdays, seeing the scenery along the road together with Mr. Lu Jing's face makes Dragon Crown Master feel happy just thinking about it.
But soon the Dragon Crown Master became timid again.
She is only eighteen or nineteen years old and has never traveled far in her life.
Although Dahuang Mountain is not too far away, it is enough to make Dragon Crown Master panic.
"If you ask me, Mr. Lu Jing can go if he wants to. Dahuang Mountain is right in front of the Three Prefectures of Chong'an.
What kind of relationship does Mr. Lu have with the Three Prefectures of Chong'an? When he goes to the Three Prefectures of Chong'an, he will naturally be protected by Yu Dongshen's troops.
Then how is it possible for the eldest son of Northern Qin to kill Mr. Lu Jing on the Great Wilderness Mountain?"
Lord Long Guan has been filling up many rumors about Mr. Lu Jing these days and knows a lot about Mr. Lu.
Jiang Xianshi coughed slightly and said: "There are not many good people in this world. Mr. Lu has obtained the authority of heaven and earth.
Haven't you noticed that the distant mountain roads, the northwest roads, and even the neighboring country of Mi in the Western Regions have received more rain in spring since Mr. Lu came here?
As long as he is here, the mountain road or the northwest road will definitely have a good harvest.
In these days of raging war, we can have another good harvest."
"But if he dies, the power to call for wind and rain will become a cloud. For you to follow Mr. Lu Jing and protect him, it can be considered a great contribution to the world."
"You have made a lot of contributions to the human world. Maybe when the spiritual tide comes, a Taoist fruit tree will grow in your Taoist temple..."
Lord Dragon Crown opened his eyes wide and looked at City Lord Jiang: "Isn't City Lord telling lies? If the Dao fruit tree grows so easily, how can the immortals in the sky come to the human world to plunder the spiritual tide fruits?"
Jiang Xianshi was about to persuade him again.
But I heard the female crown shake her head and say: "That's all, no matter what, Mr. Lu Jing has done enough to mend this broken world.
Whether it's the matter of the middle road of the river, or the matter of slaying the dragon, or whether he is calling the wind and rain on the distant mountain road or the northwest road, he has great merits and virtues."
"Master actually left me a yellow tile whisk. He must have asked me to hold this whisk to sweep away the filth in the world. If I always hide this whisk in the Taoist temple, this whisk will be regarded as a treasure in the world."
…
"Mr. Lu Jing is going to Dahuang Mountain?"
Ning Yandong, who had just gone out to hunt, couldn't help but frown when he met Mr. Lu Jing on the mountain road.
He carried a long bow on his broad back and a short sword at his waist.
"Taihua Mountain is going to Dahuang Mountain. If you want to get closer, you have to walk through Shicheng, climb over Xiaoxue Mountain, and then pass through Yumen Pass to reach Dahuang Mountain.
It's just that the half of the wilderness mountain is like a desperate situation. Relying on the divine pass, the demonic fog is in the sky. It's difficult for ordinary people, even practitioners in the sixth and seventh realms, to survive."
"Alternatively, sir, you can pass through Hexi, then pass through Yuanshan Prefecture, go straight to the Three Prefectures of Chong'an, and then go to Dahuang Mountain through the Three Prefectures of Chong'an.
It's a pity that the three states of Chong'an and Northern Qin have been at odds in front of Dahuang Mountain for who knows how long. Shazhou Pass has long been locked, and no one is allowed to cross to Dahuang Mountain.
Mr. Lu Jing, why do you have to go to the deserted mountains?"
Lu Jing smiled and said, "In fifteen days, someone made an appointment with me to meet on the Dahuang Mountain."
Ning Yandong had some doubts: "Sir, are you dissatisfied with Da Fu? Did the imperial court never use you again? Are you going to surrender to Northern Qin?"
"Sir, you may not understand Northern Qin. Northern Qin really doesn't treat people as human beings, especially a scholar like you. It's just a matter of going to Northern Qin to be favored by a first-level county guard and become an official.
If no one uses you, you will be killed sooner or later.
In that place, the word knowledge is useless."
Lu Jing waved his hand and said: "It's not to defect to Northern Qin. I went to keep the appointment, met him once and then came back..."
"Mr. Lu, I will accompany you."
"What?" Lu Jing was a little stunned: "Didn't you just say that this road is full of thorns and thorns, but it is not easy?"
Ning Yandong laughed and said: "I have cultivated my Qi and blood, but it's a pity that I have to guard this broken pillar of Taihua and never travel far in my life.
Now is the time to accompany Mr. Lu on a journey.
Educated people like Mr. Lu are too important to Taihua City. If you meet a bad person on the way, or encounter a demon, or are in danger on the wilderness mountain, you will never come back...then the school
The children in the middle will not be able to study."
Lu Jingdao: "For the people in Taihua City, knowledge is actually of little use."
"Of course it's useful." Ning Yandong said resolutely: "Let's not talk about changing one's destiny through the imperial examination. After reading books, I understand many principles and knowledge, and I can see myself more clearly.
not to mention……"
When Ning Yandong said this, he lowered his head and looked at the earth, as if he was looking at Mount Taihua.
"The legend about the Tianzhu on Taihua Mountain has been around for too long. Many people on Taihua Mountain have guarded this barren mountain from generation to generation, just to guard this Tianzhu.
But this Tianzhu has been dilapidated for too long, and it feels like it can never be erected again.
So I always think that it is difficult for people of our generation to leave Mount Taihua, so there is no harm in staying in Mount Taihua for the rest of our lives.
But it would be a pity if the younger generation and even the children continue to waste their lives in this barren place."
"After reading a book, seeing the world in the book, and knowing how to read, it will no longer be so difficult to go down the mountain and see the world."
"As for Taihua Mountain...we people just have to keep it for a while. The younger generation has practiced martial arts and studied, so they shouldn't stay here anymore."
Ning Yandong opened his mouth and smiled.
Lu Jing looked at his dark face and asked, "When you were young, did you ever think about leaving Mount Taihua?"
"Of course I have thought about it." Ning Yandong said: "It's a pity that my old father still hid a broken stone of the Tianzhu. It is precisely because of that pillar that I can achieve the level of cultivation I have now. Although I am in a barren land, this
I have never suffered from hunger in my life.
This is already considered a kindness, and it is actually the right thing for me to guard Taihua Mountain."
"Mr. Jiang must have thought so too." Lu Jing thought to himself, and then a smile appeared on his face and he said to Ning Yandong: "The world is big, but with the skills of a strong man, you can go anywhere.
The reason why I didn't leave Taihua Mountain was just because of self-restraint, and also because of the obsession in my heart...
If one day Taihua Mountain no longer needs to be defended, where would the warrior want to go?"
Ning Yandong replied: "I have been on Taihua Mountain all my life. I have never traveled far and I don't know where in the world the scenery is better."
Lu Jing suddenly laughed: "There is a rapeseed field in Sanzhou, Chong'an, which stretches for thousands of acres. The flowering period is from January to March every year.
Someone once told me that once it blooms there, it will be a real sea of flowers, which is so beautiful.
Let's set off now and stop and go all the way to the great wilderness mountain, just in time to take a look at the scenery of the rapeseed fields in the three states of Chong'an."
Ning Yandong nodded and whistled.
Suddenly, a black hunting dog ran along the mountain road.
Ning Yandong lowered his head and said a few words to the hunting dog. The hunting dog stuck out its tongue, wagged its tail and tugged on Ning Yandong's sleeves.
As Ning Yandong whistled again, the hunting dog ran away along the mountain road again.
"This way, I won't worry about my sister anymore."
Ning Yandong took off the long bow behind him and fastened the short sword on his waist again.
He also saw the sword on Lu Jing's waist and felt that the swords were very beautiful.
"It's okay for Mr. Lu to wear a sword. Scholars wear swords more gracefully and elegantly.
Why are you still wearing a sword? Could it be that your husband also practices swordsmanship?"
"I know a little bit." Lu nodded.
Ning Yandong looked at Lu Jing up and down and said with a smile: "Although I can't understand Mr. Lu's cultivation level, I always feel that Mr. Lu must be an extraordinary person.
So if you go to Dahuang Mountain alone, I won’t think that you, sir, are talking nonsense.”
"A few miles further down, there is the home of an old acquaintance of mine. He has a good horse at home, which is suitable for his husband."
"I have a horse." Lu Jing pointed to the rocks in the distance.
Behind the rocks, the sound of horse hooves sounded.
Zhaoye ran away from the courtyard and came to Lu Jing.
"What a horse!" Ning Yandong's eyes lit up: "I often see this horse in the courtyard."
Lu Jing smiled and said, "This is a great gift from my sworn brother. It will stay with me for a long time."
The two got on their horses.
Lu Jing, who originally wanted to go alone and did not even let Shi Daiqing lead the tiger-mounted soldiers to protect him, ended up taking a hunter from Taihua Mountain with him.
The hunters on Taihua Mountain finally came down the mountain.
This is the first time in this life.
In front of the yellow tile Taoist temple, Master Longguan took out a somewhat worn whisk.
She took the whisk and followed Lu Jing.
When the fly whisk leaves Taihua Mountain.
In Daleiyin Temple, there was a woman with a luxurious temperament, wearing a gauze dress, extremely beautiful, and with a golden mark between her eyebrows, she opened her eyes while meditating.
Behind this woman, a round of Buddha's light is reflected.
That is the light of Ksitigarbha Buddha of the Great Leiyin Temple.
Lu Jing once went to the Tianque to reflect the Emperor's Star with the help of figures such as the Great Buddha of the Great Leiyin Temple, the Mountain Master of Zhenwu Mountain, Yuan Jiulang, and Yuye Sheren. The young Taoist Yunlong of Zhenwu Mountain once saw it.
Pass this girl's spirit.
Now in the Great Leiyin Temple, this girl wakes up from her practice.
Behind her, a female official in equally luxurious clothes bowed and spoke to her.
"The Yuan Shen magic weapon is quite rare. The whisk is originally the most precious treasure of our Gantong Temple in Nanzhao. It is a pity that it has flowed into the secular world.
Now that there are traces of this magical weapon, we naturally have to take a look."
The girl's eyes were a little excited: "If I can get back the sensory whisk, wouldn't I make my brothers feel ashamed?"
Behind the girl with an extraordinary background, the female official laughed softly and said: "Princess got the opportunity of Cangshan Mountain, received the true biography of the great Buddha on earth, and clearly understood the light of Ksitigarbha wheel.
People in the world only know that there is Hou Jing Wushuang of Zhongshan, the eldest son of Northern Qin, Gongsun Suyi, Yudong Shen of the Three States of Chong'an, and the young Sword Armor Lu Jing, but they don't know that there are people like the princess here.
.
As long as the princess returns to the palace, the princes will naturally feel ashamed."
The Nanzhao princess was very satisfied. With a wave of her hand, she set off from the Daleiyin Temple.
There is always some inexplicable attraction between Tianjiao and Tianjiao.
For example, the eldest son of the Northern Qin Dynasty issued a bronze invitation, but he invited Lu Jing, who had cultivated a fearless sword and was astonishingly courageous.
Following behind Lu Jing was a female crown holding a treasure.
Princess Nanzhao, who had a great opportunity, followed the traces of the fly whisk and entered the three states of Chong'an.
And in the rape fields of Sanzhou, Chong'an.
Lu Jing and Ning Yandong stood side by side. Looking from a distance, they saw a sea of flowers...
This sea of flowers can only be described as spectacular, so bright and yellow that you can't see the edge at a glance.
There are white clouds in the sky, mountains stand in the distance, and to the side, several majestic and majestic cities stand.
Ning Yandong was so fascinated by the sight that he marveled at the magnificence of nature because of this sea of flowers, and also marveled at the ingenuity of the craftsmen of the three states of Chong'an because of the towering cities.
After all, the Dragon Crown Lord was a little timid.
Lu Jing really attracted too much attention, and she was carrying a strange treasure. She was afraid, but she still did not go with Lu Jing, but followed Lu Jing from a distance.
Anyway, when she thought about it, all she had to do was protect Lu Jing from death.
And on the Dahuang Mountain.
Northern Qin Gongsun Suyi, Prince Wuji, several young Northern Qin nobles, and the mysterious eldest son are all here.
The eldest son of Northern Qin was undressing the deer.
It was a white deer with soft, lustrous hair, light blue eyes, majestic antlers, and a strong body, which all reflected the extraordinary nature of this white deer.
"Lu Jing didn't respond. I think he didn't dare to come."
Mr. Wuji sat cross-legged on the futon and spoke slowly.
Beside him, there was another young man in armor who was eating horse meat.
"I tell you, there's no need to keep the white venison, we'll just eat it.
Horsemeat is still too good compared to venison."
The armored young man said: "If it were Lu Jing who was Baili Shi, I wouldn't dare to come to Dahuang Mountain."
