Chapter 539: Xu Qing, do you have a Taoist companion?
Xuanzhan calendar, year 2932, December. Shield
The winter wind carried snowflakes as they walked along the borders of the county capital, passing by dead trees and wilderness, dancing like powder as they moved forward.
It seems to be trying its best to fill up the cracks on the ground caused by the arrival of ancient times.
Until it reached the capital city, after swirling around the world, it blended into the streets, rooftops and bustling crowds, turning into white mist and coexisting in the world in another form.
Half a month has passed since the change of Jun Cheng.
In the past half month, just like the wind and snow trying to repair the cracks in the earth, the monks of the Three Palaces in the county capital, the Sword-holding Court and various major sects in the ten states have been working hard to rebuild Fenghai County.
A large number of Bai Zhan sword bearers also went out to various states to join in the rescue and suppress all the various races that caused rebellion during this period.
Gradually, most of the bad effects brought about by the Juncheng Incident dissipated, and everything began to recover. Shield
Especially Yao Hou and Qi Ye, the common bond between them is Xu Qing, so even though they are not familiar with each other, they each have an appreciation after contacting each other.
It seems that the attributes are somewhat similar, so they work well together.
And the dawn finally fell over the sea after the storm.
The deputy palace masters of the three major palaces have been appointed as the chief one after another. In the sword-bearing palace, Li Yunshan is here. As the oldest deacon, Deacon Sun took over the position of deputy palace master.
Mr. Sinan, he has other missions.
As for Xu Qing, his life is not much different from before, and the reward in the Emperor's decree has not yet been sent. However, he also understood the meaning of the reward from his master and Marquis Yao.
The gold medal is a thing that avoids death. As long as you don't commit the crime of treason, you can avoid death once. Shield
The yellow robe is a special gift from the royal family, which is a blessing of status.
The Taixue qualification is an opportunity to go to the human race's Taixue Palace for further study. There are inheritances from all races from ancient times, which will be of great help to Lingzang's breakthrough and return to the void.
In addition, the top student in each batch of Taixue Palace students will have a chance to be recruited by the Holy Land test. Once they pass the Holy Land test, they can be recruited to the Holy Land.
The Holy Land is located high above the Wanggu Continent.
In the nearly three thousand years of Xuanzhan history, no student has successfully passed the test.
As for the first-class merit of the human race, it is a huge honor. There have been less than a hundred people alive who have achieved it over the years.
But these rewards are not necessary for Xu Qing. His life is as usual, but the place where he lives has changed. It is no longer the sword pavilion and shield on the ground.
He lived in the Sword Holding Palace, the original palace of the accompanying scribes.
The Shuling Division was reorganized by Xu Qing at the suggestion of Marquis Yao and Master Qi, and became a very special department in Fenghai County. It was no longer responsible for the affairs of the first palace, but the entire Fenghai County.
A transcendent status.
Xu Qing's identity in Fenghai County is still Shuling.
His duty is to provide the acting governor Yao Hou and Qi Ye with sorting out the county's information and assisting in the management of Fenghai County.
There are many more members of the Shuling Division than before. In addition to the Sword Palace, Shuling Divisions have also been established in the other two palaces. Even at the suggestion of Kong Xianglong, various states in Fenghai County also established Shuling Branches to cooperate.
Each state holds a sword court to guard the territory of a state.
Kong Xianglong is responsible for this matter. Shield
He also joined the Shuling Division, along with Shanhezi who had recovered from his injuries.
Seeing that an outsider like Kong Xianglong had such great power, the captain felt a little bitter, so he encouraged Xu Qing to develop secret divisions in various sects.
The person in charge of the secret division, the captain, recommended himself and took the position himself. He was extremely enthusiastic and left the county capital with a mission.
Before leaving, he patted Xu Qing's shoulder, his expression full of pride.
"Junior brother, the old man has become the county magistrate and will protect this family business for us. Senior brother, I can't just idle around. I will support the Ansi department!"
Xu Qing looked at the unconcealed excitement on the captain's face and thought of the previous order regarding the transfer of Gong Li Shitao, so he looked around.
"What are you looking at?" The captain was stunned. He was full of pride and ambition, but Xu Qing was looking around, which made him feel a little guilty.
"I'm looking for Li Shitao." Xu Qing said frankly.
"Your sister-in-law, she insists on coming with me. I'm very upset, but there's nothing I can do about it."
The captain coughed and did not continue the topic. Instead, he put his arms around Xu Qing's neck, leaned closer and spoke in a low voice.
"Little Ah Qing, let me tell you, this time I went out not to have a romantic relationship, I have two things to do, one is the AN Division, and the other... I have been thinking about a big thing recently!"
"After this big thing is done, we two brothers will be very powerful, so I plan to go out to collect information about the Moon Sacrifice Region and come back soon."
"Moon Sacrifice Domain?" Xu Qing's eyes narrowed. He is now very sensitive to the word "moon".
The captain blinked, raised his hand, shushed Xu Qing, and whispered: Shield
"When I come back, I will tell you in detail. Anyway, junior brother, be prepared to go out. This time, senior brother will take you to do something extraordinary!"
The captain licked his lips, with the familiar madness in Xu Qing's eyes, and then hummed a little tune and left with many people in tow.
Xu Qing stood on the bluestone platform at the edge of the Sword Holding Palace. After watching the captain go away, he spoke calmly.
"Come out."
As Xu Qing's voice came out, Ning Yan appeared from the attic not far away, laughed sarcastically, and quickly ran to Xu Qing's side.
He was afraid of the captain and was worried that he would be called away by the captain, but there was no point in hiding, so he always came to Xu Qing to beg during this period.
"Lord Shuling, I think I can be your Shuling!" Shield
Ning Yan spoke loudly.
"Have you found Qingqiu?" Xu Qing glanced at Ning Yan.
"I found it, this bitch..."
Xu Qing's eyes turned cold.
Ning Yan suddenly trembled and quickly changed his words.
"Sir Qingqiu previously assisted Yinghuangzhou's Li Tujiao, and then went to Nanhuangzhou..."
Xu Qing nodded and said nothing more.
Ning Yan hurriedly left. After walking far away, he breathed a sigh of relief and secretly thought that Xu Qing had obviously gained more momentum in the past half month. He understood that it was the pressure created by Fenghai County's luck surrounding him.
This kind of coercion makes Xu Qing, even though he is only a Nascent Soul, possess the luck of a county, making it difficult for an ordinary person to resist.
Ignoring Ning Yan, Xu Qing turned around and walked towards the Cangdian Pavilion of the Sword Holding Palace.
In the past half month, he went there often, and at his request, the books from the Fengxing Palace and Silu Palace, as well as the County Sheriff's Palace, were also sent over.
The quantity is extremely large.
"Brother Xu Qing, who is Qingqiu?"
On the way to the Zangdian Pavilion, a small white snake appeared in Xu Qing's right sleeve. With his big innocent eyes open, he asked curiously. Shield
"I met a childhood friend who I later met. Let me introduce him to you."
Xu Qing lowered his head, raised his left hand and gently stroked the little white snake's head, and spoke softly.
His touch made the little white snake feel very comfortable, its eyes narrowed, and it laughed like a silver bell.
"Gulu gulu."
Xu Qing also smiled. Before he lost consciousness under Ling Yuan, it was Ling'er who saved him again.
However, Ling'er's practice and absorption of ancient spiritual energy have not actually been completed yet, and the process is slow, so she can only wrap herself around Xu Qing's right wrist like a little white snake at the moment.
In this way, Xu Qing returned to the Cangdian Pavilion and continued to search for all the books and information here until time passed and three days passed.
Xu Qing felt a little regretful that although he had gained something, it was not much.
What he was looking for was an introduction to the Life Lamp and how to completely integrate it into oneself.
The captain once said that for many years, many people have tried to do it, but no one has succeeded.
And through reading ancient books these days, Xu Qing knew that what the captain said was not completely correct.
Historically, some people have succeeded.
That was before the remnants of the gods arrived, and even long before the unification of the ancient spirit emperors, there was an ancient master who took a retrograde path.
Generally speaking, monks can only change their own bloodline and let life lamps be born in their bodies after they reach the level of dominance. Then their descendants can enjoy the blessings and form life lamps and shields during foundation building.
But this master took the opposite path.
Like Xu Qing, he killed the heir of the ancient prince during the foundation building process, dug out the life lamp, and integrated it into himself. After experiencing nine deaths, he actually managed to integrate the life lamp into his own blood and completely turned it into his own thing.
After that, he experienced many catastrophes of life and death, soared into the sky and became the master.
In Jun Cheng's classics, there are only a few words about this master. After all, it is too ancient.
Even this bit of information was only recorded because something so unnatural happened to him.
As for authenticity, it's hard to tell.
"Light from the sky?"
Xu Qing murmured, the master's record mentioned these four words, it seems that the reason why the other party can fuse the life lamp is because of a mysterious thing called the light from the sky. Shield
But the light from the sky is only mentioned in the records of this master. Xu Qing has not found any clues in any other books these days.
Xu Qing even asked his master a few days ago, but he had never heard of it. Xu Qing also asked Yao Hou, and he was told to ask his friends in the imperial capital.
With regrets, Xu Qing returned to the Shuling Division and dealt with the official documents sent from various states until at noon the next day, he received a message from Yao Hou.
"Xu Qing, I found some of the information you want for me, and I also have something for you. Would you like to come to my house?"
Xu Qing's eyes lit up, and he immediately got up and left the Sword Holding Palace, heading straight to the Yao Mansion.
On the way, he saw the streets of the county capital were bustling with people, and the smiles on people's faces were obviously much more than before.
The sudan they had eaten was actually no longer poisonous. Yao Hou and his master had previously summoned all the alchemy masters in Fenghai County to study this carefully. Shield
Also declared non-toxic.
However, people are suspicious of things that are closely related to themselves, so many people have doubts about this, so Yao Hou proposed to use harmless elixirs as a solution.
Therefore, there is a kind of elixir named Jiesu, which is provided to the people of the county for free.
The function of this elixir is to strengthen the body.
In the end, everyone is happy.
This incident also taught Xu Qing a lesson and gave him a deeper understanding of human nature.
But no matter what, the process and ending were both good, so Xu Qing put away her mind and came to Yao Mansion.
The entire Yao Mansion paid great attention to welcoming Xu Qing's arrival. Those clan members who were released from the Prison Department already knew that Xu Qing's words saved everyone from death.
So when Xu Qing arrived at the Yao Mansion, the Yao family was extremely respectful and grateful. They all bowed to him outside the gate.
"Welcome to Xu Shuling."
The crowd was filled with old, young, women and children, including Yao Yunhui and Yao Feihe.
The former has a complex look on her face. Her originally charming and pretty face is now full of haggardness. Her once graceful body is now much thinner, but not only has her beauty not diminished, but her frailty has made her a little more pitiable.
meaning.
As for Yao Feihe, although she is still dressed in palace attire, her imprisonment and family troubles have also made her haggard. She is no longer as graceful as when Xu Qing first met her, but has more human fireworks.
She looked at Xu Qing and bowed down together with Yao Yunhui.
Xu Qing stepped forward and helped the old man in the crowd up, then looked at Yao Yunhui and others, and finally at Yao Feihe.
"Marquis Yao is my senior, you don't have to be like this."
"My Yao family will always remember Mr. Xu's kindness." Yao Feihe said softly, and then with the respect of the surrounding tribesmen, she and Yao Yunhui took Xu Qing into the Yao Mansion.
One of the two women is at the side and the other is behind.
The fragrant wind filled the surroundings, and Xu Qing felt a little uncomfortable. The little white snake on his wrist quietly showed its head at this moment, and he looked around curiously.
In this way, we went all the way to the main hall of Yao's house.
Yao Hou stood there, looking at each other with a smile.
"Meet the county governor." Xu Qing walked quickly and bowed respectfully.
Yao Hou smiled and motioned Xu Qing to sit down. He did not sit in the main seat, but in a side position.
Seeing this, Xu Qing felt more respectful and sat in a side seat.
As for Yao Yunhui and Yao Feihe, they personally poured tea for them.
Xu Qing, this is Yao Yunhui.
She took the teapot and poured the tea into the cup. She looked at Xu Qing in front of her with a dazed expression, as the past flashed past her eyes.
She never expected that in less than two years, the newly promoted sword holder would reach the peak of his current position. Shield
Suddenly, the tea overflowed and spread on the table. Xu Qing turned to look at her.
Only then did Yao Yunhui react and quickly took a few steps back.
Also confused is Yao Feihe.
The source of complexity in her heart is different from that of Yao Yunhui, but it is equally deep. She still remembers the first time she saw Xu Qing, brought by her best friend Zixuan.
At that time, she didn't really care too much. After all, Xu Qing was just a small sword wielder at that time. Even though the emperor had great questions, he still hadn't grown up yet.
And she is the sister of Marquis Yao, and she also has a place in the imperial capital.
All the conversations were because she valued Zixuan. She felt that Zixuan's future was limitless. With Zixuan's talent, he could easily stand next to a big tree, making people dare not desecrate it in the slightest. Shield
But the subsequent development of things was like a reversal of heaven and earth. She saw Xu Qing again. He was already recognized by all the people of Fenghai County as the future governor. Her brother was also cleared of grievances because of him, and her entire clan was saved from death because of him.
Death calamity.
Looking back on the past now, it turns out that Xu Qing, who was by Zixuan's side, was actually a towering tree, but he didn't recognize it.
How could all this not make her confused?
And in this confusion and complexity, she felt even more envious of Zixuan.
Yao Hou also noticed the expressions of his sister and daughter. He was a little surprised and couldn't help but look strange. He looked at Xu Qing, then at his daughter, and then glanced at his sister.
Then, he coughed.
Yao Yunhui and Yao Feihe immediately lowered their heads and left the main hall.
At this moment, only Yao Hou and Xu Qing were left in the main hall.
Yao Hou looked at Xu Qing.
Xu Qing looked at Yao Hou with a normal expression.
After a while, Yao Hou showed a smile on his face.
"Xu Qing, you don't have a Taoist partner yet, right?"
Xu Qing was stunned. Before he could say anything, the little white snake in his sleeve suddenly showed its head and stared at Yao Hou unkindly.
"GuluGulu!" Shield
Yao Hou glanced at it, smiled slightly, and stopped mentioning the matter. Instead, he raised his right hand and grabbed the air, took out an object, and placed it in front of Xu Qing.
