Chapter 1,204 The master craftsman shows others the rules
Chen Pingan put his fingers against the desk and quietly muttered one word, "Lian."
A grain of golden light appeared where the fingertips touched the table. In an instant, the golden light turned into tens of thousands of tiny threads, like golden snakes that simultaneously walked through the water and turned into dragons. They suddenly spread and covered the Imperial Prefect's Mansion.
All objects, maps, walls, seats, blue bricks on the floor, corridor beams and columns, green glazed tiles, ridged animals, hanging fish and grass, all archives and books, etc... except
There were only a few Xie Gou and Song Yun in Xiaomo, but none of them noticed the movement. The secretaries and secretaries were still writing, the golden light and shadow were still rippling on the ground through the branches, and Lin Shouyi was still discussing with Cao Qinglang.
The approach to history. A cloud of gray dust suddenly rose up near the Imperial Prefecture. They were tiny living things that were barely visible to the naked eye. The vision was fleeting.
Over at the Flower Temple, Liu Hui said that he would personally send Liu Laocheng off. Did Liu Laocheng not want to attain enlightenment and ascend? In the same way, did he not want Liu Hui to go away and cool down?
Jiang Shangzhen smiled and said: "Many friendships are made without getting to know each other."
Cui Dongshan said cowardly: "Break out the brains and drink them as wine."
Liu Shei smiled calmly and said: "When I was young, I made a rule for myself. In each of the nine continents, I will get to know one or two local snakes in the future. Now the only ones left are Aquarius Continent and Tongye Continent."
Liu Laocheng said: "I can't be ranked in Aquarius Island."
Jiang Shangzhen exclaimed, Cui Dongshan jumped sideways, and pointed his halberd at Liu Laocheng, "Meritors and scholarly scholars have been rare in ancient times. My husband has both. University and great business are rare in ancient times. My husband has both. Swordsman and master are rare in ancient times.
My husband has both. Look, my husband is like
It is so powerful, but only in Shujian Lake you have suffered the most. Why is Island Master Liu belittling yourself? If you look down on yourself, you look down on my husband. If you look down on my husband, you look down on me, Cui Dongshan. If you look down on me, you look down on my best friend.
The murderous Grandmaster Jiang..."
Liu Laocheng had a headache.
Jiang Shangzhen smiled and said, "It's okay to look down on me. You're used to it."
Liu Shang said: "Let's go. If we continue talking, Mr. Chen will really want to kill us."
Armed with a sharp blade and intent to kill, is this just someone who suddenly became powerful?
Liu Laocheng nodded and stopped entangled with the young man in white.
There is a Xianjia Ferry in the capital, named Jiansu Ferry.
In the capital, there was only a Yang Shen body to "receive guests". When he left the capital, Liu Hui's real body had been waiting for a long time, and he immediately gathered the Yang Shen and Yin Shen. For just a moment, Liu Laocheng felt that Liu Hui at this moment,
He was probably the real Taoist master of Fuyaozhou. He could have escaped the sword catastrophe that swept across the continent by hiding in Tianyao Township and not showing up, but he wanted to go out, and ended up falling to the ground.
Walking along the ferry together, there are not only fairy shops that stretch for miles, but also Baofengzhai all over the place. Authentic and fake goods all depend on your eyesight.
Liu Laocheng said: "Old Sect Leader Jiang told me the conditions, no problem. Whenever I encounter Liu Hui on the road in the future, Liu Laocheng will definitely take the initiative to take a detour."
Unexpectedly, Liu Shang said: "No need."
Liu Laocheng's heartstrings tightened in an instant, "Fuck your mother, Liu Hui, you don't mean what you say, right?!" Ye Xiu was afraid of Ye Xiu, but Ye Xiu really hated the genealogy cultivator to the core.
Liu Hui said: "There is no need to deliberately show weakness to the enemy and try to make me take it lightly. How you view Liu Hui in the Ascension Realm is how I view Liu Laocheng in the Immortal Realm. It is not just because I am a higher realm than you.
In fact, even though I was unable to rectify you on the spot in Gyeonggi Province, I already flew my sword to spread the word to Tianyao Township.
I called two people from the Upper Five Realm who are not very public, one is the Patriarch of the Law, in terms of seniority, I have to call him Junior Uncle, and one is the Jade Pu Realm Sword Cultivator, he is my direct descendant, and I get seven or eight points of true inheritance.
I asked them to go straight to Shujian Lake and Bee Tail Alley respectively to look for opportunities to do something dirty. It would be best to find your natal lamp directly."
Liu Laocheng was silent.
Liu Hui said: "You may not know much about my reputation in Fuyao Island when I was young. It was no worse than Liu Laocheng of Shujian Lake. At that time, I was known as a wild cultivator who saw ghosts. For example, when I went down a mountain, for three hundred years, I specialized in
Get rid of those who have no eyesight
Of course, it is a matter of gaining both fame and fortune, and it has been secretly discussed with Yu Jin and the female national preceptor. Today’s Huanghua Shen and his ilk are just lucky. They were reincarnated three thousand years later, and they were on the road earlier.
See me, haha."
Liu Laocheng took a look at Liu Shei, who had a young appearance, and was impressed. He turned out to be a fellow-minded person.
Liu Laocheng said: "We have a sword cultivator named Li Tuanjing in Aquarius Continent. He has always felt that the identities of Genealogy Cultivator and Shanze Yexiu should be exchanged."
Liu Hui nodded and said, "True knowledge and insights."
Passing by a baggage studio, the stall owner picked up a celadon brush-shaped spiritual weapon and shouted: "Old man, buy a magic weapon for your grandson that can increase his literary fortune. I will definitely find something missing, and you will definitely make a profit! Soon we will be the big ones.
Li Jingcheng will give it a try. If this Jun Guan'er turns out to be a high school student, how about coming here to reward him with some money?"
Liu Laocheng had a dark face. What a bad year, with bad luck everywhere? Liu Laocheng was suddenly startled, and then he remembered that Liu Shang was an unparalleled figure in Fuyaozhou.
Liu Shang was indifferent. He just waved his hand and said in skilled Dali Mandarin: "My grandfather is an old poor man. He has no money in his pocket and was deceived by you."
The stall owner advised: "A chance encounter is hard to buy, so there is no price that is not negotiable."
Liu Hui lowered his head and glanced at the piles of bottles and jars and money talismans in the stall... Damn it, you even have the Longhu Mountain Tianshi Sword, right? Why don't you open the Baofengzhai at the entrance of the Tianshi Mansion?
Liu Shei didn't move, so Liu Laocheng had no choice but to stand there as if he were sitting on wax.
Liu Hui said in his heart: "Don't think that I can't kill you. There is only a Yang Shen in my private house, and I am in the capital. It is true that I don't have much power, and my hands are tied, so I can't kill you. But outside in the capital, I can do it at any time."
You can gather the Yin gods who have traveled far away from your body. It will take some effort to kill you, and it will damage your Taoism a lot, but it will definitely not let you escape.
Especially I won't let you go to the Imperial Prefect's Mansion. You have some beautiful trump cards, and I also have them. On the one hand, I'm reluctant to use them on you. On the other hand, I'm very optimistic about you, very optimistic about you, so
Only then will you follow the slope and let you escape into the capital. As for what I, Liu Shang, said, how true and how false, you can guess at will."
Liu Laocheng said: "Senior, are you trying to recruit?"
Liu Laocheng shook his head and said: "But to be honest, I don't think there is anything in Tianyao Township that is worthy of my heart. It is impossible for Liu Sui to let me take over as the sect leader, and there is no Taoist book in Tianyao Township. Chongbao can
Makes me hungry."
Liu Sui said: "Don't keep your words to yourself. The dangers, strangeness, paradoxes, and wonderfulness of this world may be beyond your imagination."
"For example, now we in Tianyao Township can finally take possession of the entire Luobaotan. There are many treasures hidden in it that we did not dare to touch before and did not dare to let outsiders touch. Now we can dig them out in a big way.
Another example is that over at Liuxiazhou, I have another
The white porcelain cave in the private dojo contains spiritual energy, natural materials, and earthly treasures. I had squandered half of it in retreat to recuperate, but it was still enough to support an immortal's enlightenment, stabilize his realm, and improve his power. Of course, the premise is that
This person can ascend."
Liu Shei said calmly: "I have a fate with Aquarius Island. You may not have a fate with Bai Porcelain Cave."
That white porcelain cave was supposed to be a place of harmony that Liu Sui had envisioned.
Liu Laocheng asked: "The implication of the senior's words is that he is willing to give up the lining of a white porcelain cave in exchange for the face of an Ascended Realm person?"
Liu Shang said: "As the old saying goes, nine out of ten bets are true, so people like me don't gamble easily, but as long as I get on the gambling table, I must bet and win big. Liu Laocheng and I both happen to have the same surname.
Liu, there is another point that is very important. We are all people with good luck. I am betting not only on Liu Laocheng, the immortal who was forced to have no choice but to bet on the Qi of the first wild cultivator in the Five Realms of Aquarius Continent.
.”
Liu Hui sighed. When he successfully ascended to the sky, he helped the entire Fuyao Continent to achieve unprecedented success. He was so powerful. He just felt that the matter of harmony was something that others could not ask for, but I could easily get it.
As a result, when I reached the peak of the Ascension Realm, I realized that the illusory Hedao was just like fishing for water with a bamboo basket, and it tortured the Taoist heart and killed the spirit.
Liu Hui said: "You don't have to rush to give me an answer. But before Mr. Chen returns to Shujian Lake and returns Liu Laocheng's winter crucian carp on Gongliu Island, you'd better make the right decision."
"You and I are both cold and heartless people at heart. It is difficult for us to reach the end together with those loving people who are cold-faced and warm-hearted."
"If you make a decision, you should immediately give up your identity as a genealogy, enter Liuxia Continent as a wild cultivator, try to break into a white porcelain cave that is temporarily unowned, take it as your own, and try to achieve enlightenment! Don't get any advantage.
You're so good-looking, I want whatever you can to save your face."
Liu Hui had an intuition that the real world of great conflict did not end with the retreat of the wild monster clan. He was wrong, a big mistake, and the show had just begun!
Hearing this, Liu Laocheng nodded and said: "I am sincerely convinced and I call you senior."
Liu Yi sneered and said: "When I was a failed scholar and became the leader of the black and white circles in Fuyao Island, you hadn't even been reincarnated yet."
Liu Laocheng finally asked a question that was puzzling to him, "You and he are obviously not the same person, so why did you get on the pole and move forward?"
"It's better that you don't know the specific reason."
Liu Hui rubbed his temples, feeling helpless and said: "What can I do? I can't get around him, I can't be cruel, I can't be cruel, and I can't be smarter than him."
Liu Laocheng didn't speak. He just didn't think about the withered-looking young man sitting in the boat with tears on his face and repeatedly murmuring, "How could I give up?"
Liu Sui was extremely convinced that there was a kind of person in the world who had a hard life, good memory, flexibility, and amazing resilience. He could learn from others and everything in the world. Once he got lucky, he was destined to be unstoppable.
Living sword, murderous sword, bodhisattva heart, thunderbolt means.
Once such a person decides to kill you, unless his level is much higher than his, he will definitely die.
Liu Hui took a fancy to a purple clay teapot made of floralware. He squatted next to the stall paved with cotton cloth and took it directly from a pile of "treasures" in his hand. "Grandpa, don't be stunned. It's so stupid. Take it out."
The money is settled. The Great Li Dynasty is a place governed by royal laws. We, the grandfather and the grandson, cannot go back to our old business of cutting paths and robbing people, killing people and stealing goods at any time."
Liu Laocheng asked the stall owner about the price, and the latter quoted sixteen snow cents. Liu Laocheng suddenly glared at me, "Do you know who I am? How dare you kill my pig? Are you tired of living?"
The stall owner was startled. It had nothing to do with the content. It was just the loud voice of the other party, like a pig being dragged to the chopping board. He asked angrily: "Who are you?"
"I am the leader of Zhenjing Sect, Immortal Realm Liu Laocheng!"
"Liu Laocheng, you know, right? As the owner of Shujian Lake, why don't you tell me who your father is and who your master is? I really just left my words here today. Even if they all come, I will
It’s all at this price!”
Liu Laocheng looked at Liu Shang, laughed and said: "Look, the genealogy monk, it really doesn't mean anything."
Liu Shen smiled, Liu Laocheng, a wild cultivator, is quite interesting.
Aquarius Continent is no longer suitable for Liu Laocheng, but Fuyao Continent or Liuxia Continent are still very suitable.
Liu Hui extended his thumb towards the stall owner, threw another Xiaoshu coin and said, "Pack it away."
The stall owner hesitated for a moment, and first made sure that the Xiaoshu money was genuine. Then he took out a handful of snow money from his sleeve, put it on the cotton cloth, stood up quickly, and left quickly, turning around and saying: "Fellow Taoist,
Just make a friend."
Liu Hui nodded with a smile, "If fellow Taoist friends are bolder and dare to risk wealth and wealth, then immediately rush to the Qingxuan Cave in Yuanzhenzhan in Gyeonggi Province to try your luck. Maybe you can find a Taoist priest with the name of Chinese tallow tree."
The character, his name is Huang Huashen, and he is accompanied by an aunt. Just say that I asked you to find him and ask him to show you the scenery halfway up the mountain."
That Baofengzhai stopped and asked in confusion: "Fellow Taoist, who are you?"
Liu Hui patted his cheek and said, "I have described my appearance to him, so he naturally understands the pros and cons, and he doesn't dare to neglect fellow Taoist."
The monk nodded. He was going to find Qingxuan Cave in Yuanzhen, Gyeonggi Province. Without saying a word, he went straight to the capital of Dali and made up his mind that he would never leave the capital in the near future. The current Immortal Jump is really willing to spend money on a small summer.
Money! The monk has a little regret in his heart. It would be better if there is still a honey trap.
Liu Laocheng said: "This deal is done! I also made a big bet, betting that Liu Xiu will be lucky in Fuyao Island!"
Liu Hui raised his palm and said, "There is no need to swear a poisonous oath with the secret method. You and I will high-five each other as an oath."
Liu Laocheng gave him a high five.
The baggage studio was approaching the gate of the capital. He slowed down and the young monk took out the genuine Xiaoshu coin from his sleeve. He flicked it with his thumb, caught it with his palms together and spread it out. After gritting his teeth, he changed his mind and went.
How about trying your luck at Qingxuan Cave?
————
Du Yu and Rong Chang had sobered up and left the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion. Chen Li said they were going to Luo Luo Mountain to visit.
Sui Jingcheng seemed to be having a lively chat with the cook Yu Qing. Gao Youqing had been repeatedly told by his elder brother not to take any nonsense said at the wine table seriously.
The Flower Goddess Temple became more and more lively, and more than a hundred flower gods came to their true form one after another. They concealed their Qi and their true appearance, and went to the entrance of the Fire Temple together. The old woman from the temple led the way, and they went to the aunt.
sincerity
They apologized sincerely. Under the lush green grape trellis, Aunt Feng did not embarrass them. Not only did she accept their apology, she also took the initiative to invite Cui Jian to come here for a drink and chatted about some secretive mountain anecdotes of the Middle-earth Divine Continent.
.
Luo Fumeng, the Lord of Plum Blossoms, used a magic method of making a dojo inside a snail shell to create a secret realm similar to the Cave Heaven Blessed Land, which served as the temporary ancestral hall of the Hundred Flowers Blessed Land.
They seemed to be more pragmatic than Chen Ping'an imagined. They got together and prioritized the several things. They also broke down dozens of steps and recorded them one by one. At the same time, let
All the flower gods can make suggestions and speak freely in the near future, so that you can check and make up for any mistakes at any time.
Que. Qi Fang planned to ask "Fortunate General" Wu Jian to make one more trip to the Imperial Prefecture. He immediately started to collect and sort out various local chronicles of the more than 100 states and 32 vassal states of the Great Li Dynasty. Then he followed up.
The Imperial Prefect's Office is asking for a map of the official Da Likan map. After all, it is taboo to keep such things privately, and the Xian family is no exception.
Probably it was the young Imperial Master's "year-end" talk that made Qi Fang's memory too deep, so he had to specially tell them not to regard the Great Li Dynasty as a certain dynasty in the Middle-earth Divine Continent. The past of Baihua Blessed Land and the dynasty
The experience of the imperial court and officials in contacting the ministers will be invalidated!
Seeing that Wu Li was in high spirits but refused to move, Qi Fang asked doubtfully: "What's wrong? Is there anything else?"
Wu Li said coquettishly: "Flower Master, I think you need a square-inch object to hold so many books."
Qi Fang couldn't laugh or cry. With your elbows turned outward like this, we can't give away seven or eight square-inch items?
It's not that she is stingy with a few small items, Baihua Paradise still has some in storage. It's just that this is not how buying and selling works.
Other than Luofu Meng, the other flower gods also rubbed their brows and looked at each other. Why, that Chen Guoshi wants the name, the power, the merits of the Confucian Temple, and even the treasures?
Seeing that they all misunderstood, Wu Jian hurriedly explained: "Chen Jianxian is not a person who covets treasures and money. It is me who wants to advance a square inch from the Patriarch Hall and give it to the Imperial Master's Office.
acquaintances.
She called Gouzi and said that she had become a junior official there, similar to a post-office type. Now she is a junior official, but if she can't handle it, she will be promoted quickly in the future. Anyway, we got along very well with her, and we got along very well.
It doesn’t matter whether your official position is big or small.”
A flower god couldn't help but asked curiously: "What is her name?"
They missed the celebration, and now they don't dare to explore the news casually. What's more, just based on the title of "Gouzi", they really can't think of a way to be so... broad-minded?
Wu Li said: "Gouzi."
Qi Fang didn't want the flower gods to chase after her and ask questions, so as not to backfire and make Wu Li think too much. Qi Fang smiled and nodded, "Okay, you go to the warehouse and pick out a square-inch object."
Wu Hao took another trip to the Thousand-Step Corridor, where all the officials who went out seemed to be in a hurry. After entering the Imperial Prefect's Mansion, he deliberately slowed down and looked around.
The elusive girl in the mink hat stood behind her, patted Wu Ji on the shoulder, and made a loud noise, which startled Wu Ji. He glared and said, "You dog, you can scare people to death."
Xie Gou put his hands on his hips and said confidently: "We are not human either."
Wu Li thought about it and immediately burst out laughing.
Over in the official hall, after listening to Wu Hao's report, Chen Ping'an nodded and said with a smile: "It's quite organized, which is rare. Not bad, not bad, a good start."
Chen Ping'an thought for a while and said to Rong Yu: "Go and second an official from Honglu Temple, Xun Qu. Let him be responsible for the specific affairs of the Huashen Temple in the near future. Find a table in the official hall of Yu Shiwu.
He also gave Xun Qu a jade plaque from the Imperial Prefecture to facilitate his access to various government offices at any time. The local records required by Baihua Blessed Land were left to Xun Qu to take care of."
Rong Yu took the order and left.
Xie Gou took the initiative to ask for help and took Wu Jian to the official hall next to Yu Shiwu to wait for Xun Qu.
We walked to the Second Entrance Courtyard together, and Xie Gou said, "Sister Wu Li, if I go to visit the Paradise of Hundreds of Flowers in the future, please remember to protect me."
Wu Li was full of energy and confidence, tilted his head and extended his thumb. The girl in the mink hat immediately followed up with a tacit understanding, "Wow!"
Xie Gou put his hand to his mouth and said, "Although I have an official status, I am actually a gangster. I am used to fighting and killing. In this part of the capital, my words can be used by thieves."
Wu Li asked doubtfully: "Does Gouzi still have a piece of nothing to do?"
The young Flower Goddess has heard that in Aquarius Continent, one can have an innocent card issued by the Great Li Xing Department. It is more than just an amulet, it is simply a gold medal for immunity from death.
Xie Gou raised his sleeves and said bluffingly: "One piece? You are looking down on me. There are several pieces."
Wu Li was shocked and said: "So awesome?"
Xie Gou nodded with a straight face, stretched out his finger and shushed, "Quiet."
Wu Li touched Gouzi's mink hat and praised it: "It's so hidden that it's not exposed."
Xie Gou crossed his arms across his chest and swayed his shoulders, feeling extremely proud.
Xiao Mo watched the two girls "of the same age" walking side by side and whispering, and he was helpless.
Under the peach tree, Song Yunjian smiled and said: "For Senior Bai Jing, Liu Laocheng, who is blessed with luck, is a delicious meal."
Xiao Mo stood at the door of the ear room and said with a smile: "You are even more so."
Song Yunjian said: "I'm very curious about what the world looks like in the eyes of the Fourteenth Realm."
Xiao Mo said, "We'll find out when we get there."
Song Yunjian asked with a smile: "Mr. Xiao Mo seems to have a problem with me?"
Xiao Mo said directly: "A little bit."
Song Yunjian was puzzled and asked: "Why?"
Xiao Mo said: "No reason."
Song Yunjian was speechless, his face was full of sorrow, "He was feeling flustered."
Xiao Mo holds the bamboo stick in his arms, his mind is relaxed, and he has reached the fourteenth realm. It is like taking off a big shackles, and he is really relaxed. Before the fourteenth, his practice was like fine brushwork, and after the fourteenth, it was like freehand brushwork.
Song Yunjian thought of a small incident and said: "Zhu Yeman of the Huashen Temple, this cardigan girl in the past, she clearly recognized the identity of the national master at that time, why did she pretend to be the wrong person?"
Xiao Mo said: "We meet by chance, and since we don't know what to talk about, it's better to pretend we don't know each other when we meet."
Song Yunjian nodded and said: "Wonderful."
The golden-crowned Taoist, whose male and female could not be distinguished, stretched out his hand to brush the peach blossoms on the low branches, and said softly: "I saw a few proverbs in the book, saying that the wealth and fame that spread to heaven, those who come from morality are like mountains and forests.
Chinese flower, from
It multiplies slowly. Those that come from meritorious deeds are like flowers in a garden. They are bright and beautiful for a while, but eventually they have the worry of migration, prosperity and decay. If they are taken by force, they are like flowers in a vase and bowl. Their roots are not planted and they wither.
If it wilts, it can stand and wait.”
Song Yunjian's Dao roots determine that he must be in a situation of being imprisoned on the ground, and his fate cannot be controlled by himself. This great city of Lijing is both his dojo and his cage.
Sensing that Song Yunjian was distracted, Xiao Mo thought of the thousand-year-old sycamore tree in Tongyezhou for no reason.
There seems to always be a layer of melancholy on them, like a mist enveloping a cold river, their minds are dusty and their will is depressed.
When Xiao Mo listened to the chirping under the shade of the pine trees in the second courtyard, she would not know. She was like a blazing sun walking in the world, always raising her head high and looking into the distance.
Xie Gou's "future" is as close as if it will come tomorrow. The future of Song Yunjian and Qing Tong is as far away as if they themselves don't believe that tomorrow will be different from today.
Song Yunjian cleared up his turbulent emotions and said with shame, "I made Mr. Xiaomo laugh."
Xiao Mo shook his head, "In the past, I would have thought that you were all useless people who happened to be able to practice, but now I can be a little more understanding."
Song Yunjian turned his head and looked at the official hall, where the prime minister was sitting majestically in the temple. He was thinking about the gains and losses here.
A Taoist sutra says that in the third month of spring, this is called hair and Chen, both heaven and earth are born, and all things are prosperous. You lie down at night and get up early, walk widely in the courtyard, and your hair is slowed down so that your aspirations can arise.
What a "Fa Chen"!
Honglu Temple, located on the right side of Nanxunfang, is a neighbor of the Office of the Ministry of Industry where Guan Yiran is located.
The young official who came to the Imperial Prefecture from Honglu Temple at short notice deserves the praise of being handsome and handsome.
Xun Qu and Cao Qinglang took the imperial examination in the same year, but their fame was much lower than that of Cao Qinglang, and they were ranked very low in the second class. Xun Qu's current official status is the Preface Class of Honglu Temple.
In the capital city of Li, where there are so many officials, he belongs to the sesame mung bean official in Qingshui Yamen.
When Cao Qinglang came to Beijing to take the exam, he and Xun Qu stayed in a temple in the capital. The two people of the same age had a similar mind and shared the same interests.
Therefore, the last time Chen Ping'an came to Beijing, the imperial court deliberately arranged for Xunqu to accompany "Chen Shanzhu" on a tour of the capital.
Chen Ping'an left the study, went to a room in the second courtyard, crossed the threshold, walked directly to Yu Shiwu's desk, and opened an account book.
Yu Shiwu smiled and said, "You are an expert. Check to see if there are any mistakes."
Since the last time I saw Jiang She, it was a blessing in disguise and a blessing in disguise. Yu Shiwu's Tao body is now becoming more and more clean, and his Tao mind is as if a heavy burden has been lifted, and there is no longer any sloppiness.
Xu Jiaoqie asked Yinguan if he wanted to drink tea. Xiao Xing immediately sneered and said, "Why don't you just help warm the bed?" Xu Jiaoqie looked at him angrily and cursed, "You are a cheap maid, don't be so arrogant."
Sword Cultivating Cardamom and the Immortal Algae, they both smiled happily. Yu Shiwu sighed in his heart, it was true and false, it couldn't be more true.
At the door, Xun Qu bowed and said, "Xun Qu, the preface class of Honglu Temple, pays homage to the Imperial Master."
On the way here, Rong Yu had already introduced the situation to Xun Qu. Although Xun Qu was a little confused, since it was the decision made by the Imperial Master himself, he should behave and do things well.
I remember the last time we met, Mr. Chen once joked to himself that it is a good thing to have no money. If you are good at writing and can write brilliantly, you can become a high official by the way. When he comes to the capital in the future, he will have an official backing...
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "Class Xunxu, don't be busy with official business for now. I'll take you to meet the impatiens and flower god Wu Li from the Paradise of Hundreds of Flowers, and then reminisce about old times with Cao Qinglang."
Xie Gou's eyes widened and he glanced at the mountain master. Is this kind of "person" really going to be summoned to work in the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion? Isn't it afraid that it's easy to invite gods but difficult to send them away? But it's okay. After all, the poor god is no better than the plague god. In the final analysis, the former is still better.
A lucky god.
Xun Qu was born in a poor family. In addition to his official status as a capital official, he was also a monk. His master was the doctor of the Ministry of Rites who was known as the "little heavenly official". In addition, Xun Qu also had a more interesting story.
Because of his important identity, he is one of the reincarnations of gods. This is the "god who brings the poor" in local folk customs.
Chen Pingan laughed it off. With my salary, what should I be afraid of?
Sitting together at the stone table, Xun Qu listened carefully to Wu Hao's story, nodded slightly, and roughly figured it out. When he looked up, he found his friend Cao Qinglang standing beside him with a smile. Wu Hao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The aura has been used up. If we continue the conversation, we will reveal our true colors and let people know that we are a fool. After giving Gouzi a look, the girl in the mink hat stood up.
Even after dragging Wu Li away from the stone table, Xie Gou now also got a wing room, which was neatly tidied, filled with rare and unique books, and filled with the smell of books. Wu Li was amazed, Gouzi, you are so arrogant, you can still be in the Imperial Prefecture.
The manor now has a piece of land that belongs to him. Xie Gou put his hands on his hips, proudly showing off his knowledge, shaking his head and reciting an inscription on a humble house.
Encouraged by Chen Pingan, Cao Qinglang played a game of chess with Xun Qu.
During this period, the teacher wanted to point his finger at the chess game, but the student silently blocked it with his hand.
In the middle of the game, Chen Ping'an wanted to help the student with a magical move, but Cao Qinglang could only use his eyes to signal to the teacher not to do anything wrong.
Chen Ping'an had no choice but to leave with his hands in his sleeves. Soon there was a young man in white, holding his hands in the pine tree and sliding down the tree. He glanced at the chess game, with a look of amazement on his face. He clapped his hands and cheered. He kept saying strange things there, "Wow, there was a colorful cloud game in ancient times, but now there is a game."
The Songtao Game is indeed a grand event in the chess world and a feat in the chess world... Xun Qu was confused, but Cao Qinglang turned a deaf ear. As expected, the young senior brother was soon dragged to the backyard by his collar.
Chen Pingan asked: "Where is Deputy Mountain Master Jiang?"
Cui Dongshan said with a smile: "Sir, Chief Zhou, he went to Yingying Yanyan's Huashen Temple to show off. He planned to risk half his life and become a lobbyist for a confidante. Let's see.
Can you help her return to the Paradise of Hundreds of Flowers, that Mrs. Cao Guo whose heart was broken by the ruthless man?"
Chen Ping'an rubbed his eyebrows and asked: "What does he think? He really wants to give the Yunku blessed land of the Jiang family's ancestral property to Wei Ying? Will he have the nerve to go to the family ancestral hall to offer incense in the future?"
Cui Dongshan said: "It's not a free gift. The Jiang family's children can still collect rent every year and enjoy the good news. Chief Zhou said that heroes like Liu Shei only dare to gamble, but he knows how to gamble."
Waving to Song Yunjian, the young man in white winked and said, "Is it better to call me Brother Song, or Sister Yunjian?"
Song Yunjian smiled and said: "Then should I call you Sect Leader Cui, or..."
Cui Dongshan stood up like a golden chicken and said sternly: "Hey! You're going to spit on someone for no reason! If you piss me off, I'll slap you against the wall and you won't be able to pry it off."
Song Yunjian understood and smiled instead of being annoyed, "Since Taoist Cui has moved out of Lu Zu, I will stop chatting with you."
It is said that Lu Zu of Chunyang once left a poem on the wall. There is a sentence in it, which is that he talks about something for no reason, but travels deep into the white clouds.
The young man in white jumped up and down, swung his arms and sleeves, and poked the golden-crowned Taoist priest with his fist from time to time, "It's best not to quarrel. It's better to see the real seal in your hand."
Song Yunjian glanced at Chen Ping'an. He really didn't know how he survived back then. How could he endure this?
Chen Ping'an said: "Let's talk about something serious when we come inside."
Cui Dongshan jumped back, hooked his fingers, and continued to provoke Song Yunjian.
Entering the house, Chen Ping'an cast a layer of restraint and asked: "Suppose, I'm just saying hypothetical, Cui Han left something for you, similar to Lu Jiang's bracelet, will you take it?"
Cui Dongshan suddenly became listless and remained silent for a long time. He then raised his head and shook his head.
The next leader of the Qingping Sword Sect will be Cao Qinglang. So as long as Cui Dongshan nods as the next national master of the Great Li Dynasty, it will probably be... Cui Dongshan.
Chen Pingan asked: "Have you thought about it?"
Cui Dongshan looked sad and nodded.
Chen Pingan smiled and said: "Sir, I respect your choice. If you regret it one day, just tell me. In short, don't have any burden."
Cui Dongshan cheered up instantly, but suddenly felt guilty again. Anyway, he had mixed feelings. It was rare to be so happy but afraid to be happy at the same time.
Chen Ping'an raised his hand, patted his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Others don't believe it, but you should believe it. Sir, I've always been strong here."
Cui Dongshan smiled brightly and said: "Why don't you believe it? You must believe it. I am your proud student!"
Chen Pingan clicked his tongue and said with a smile: "No, I gave you two wisps of three wisps of sword energy."
Cui Dongshan nodded vigorously as he pecked the rice, "How can Cao Qinglang compare with me? He is so far behind."
The teacher and the student each moved a chair, lazily leaning on the back of the chair, taking a break together, not thinking about anything, just looking out at the peach blossom trees smiling at the Swordsman Seeking the Spring Breeze.

After Hong Ji left the imperial study, he did not go directly to the Imperial Prefect's Mansion to "ask for scolding". Instead, he went to the government office first and sat quietly for a while. During this period, Hong Ji flipped through some files. In fact, he was already familiar with the contents, but he was still extra.
After memorizing some names and numbers, Hong Ji had already prepared the carriage. He took a deep breath, got up and left the official hall, got on the carriage, and began to close his eyes and meditate.
The City Patrol Army and Horses Division leads the government office, which is located on both sides of the Qianbu Corridor and is located at the northernmost boundary of the imperial city. It is responsible for the capital's city defense and access control, inspection and arrests, and many other matters. It is a very powerful government office. In short,
The Bingma Division can manage almost everything in the streets and alleys of the capital, including Yongchi Lane and Chier Street. The people of the capital are also familiar with the officials of the Bingma Division, so they are singled out by the common people and are commonly known as Beiya.
Hong Ji's current official position is from the third rank. When the official rank is low, simple things tend to become complicated.
Hong Ji wore armor inside and brocade clothes outside, and was allowed to wear a sword to attend the small court meeting. The same was true in the court. This was a big honor, and it was more intimidating than being a third-rank official.
He is short and muscular, with dark skin. He was born in the Dali frontier army, and his ancestral home is the Longxing land of the Song family in Dali.
A person who is not a true confidant of the emperor and a true minister cannot be this official at all.
Cui Chang never interfered with the selection of the commander of the Army and Horses Division. This was probably a necessary tacit understanding.
But as His Majesty the Emperor said, whether it is Cui Chan or Chen Ping'an, as long as they want to replace a third-rank Beijing official, it is too simple.
This was the first time that Hong Ji visited the Imperial Master's Mansion. He was led into the gate by the young woman who called herself Rong Yu. The first thing that caught his eye was a one-line dragon-patterned screen wall that was extremely suspicious of trespassing. After passing this
A huge screen wall made of colored glazed bricks is a wide courtyard paved with white marble.
There were no officials stopping here to wait for the Imperial Master's summons. After that, there was the three-entry courtyard layout of a common residence in the capital. Along a corridor with simple and elegant window lattice, Hong Ji couldn't help but look at it a few more times.
Hong Ji was naturally aware of Rong Yu's identity in front.
Standing at the steps outside the door, Rong Yu reported softly: "National Adviser, Soldier and Horse Commander Hong Ji has arrived."
Chen Pingan nodded, "Bring him in."
The young Imperial Master was sitting behind the desk and was marking a book with a pen. He raised his head and said, "Sit down."
Hong Ji sat upright, his Adam's apple twitching slightly, he secretly moistened his throat and said, "Master, I'm here to apologize to you..."
Chen Ping'an lowered his head and continued to write notes, but he intercepted the other party's words and said in a calm tone: "Tell the important point."
Hong Ji straightened his back slightly, immediately sped up his speech, and began to explain why such a flaw occurred. Zhenjing Sect Liu Laocheng broke into the capital and went directly to the gate of the Imperial Prefecture. During this period, the soldiers and horses of the Yamen
Why couldn't the three capital formations, including the Department and Qintian Prison, fail to stop this Immortal Realm?
Chen Pingan nodded, as if he had no intention of making a fuss about this matter at all, and asked casually: "Over at Jinyu Square, the few monographs on frontier theory in the banned bookstore involve allusions to the affairs of the Great Li Dynasty. I heard that
There was a lot of criticism at that time, mainly because the Imperial College and the Ministry of Rites had different opinions on how to resolve the matter in the end."
Although Hong Ji was wondering why the Imperial Preceptor would ask about such a trivial matter, and the Military and Horse Department was only responsible for preventing crowds from gathering to make trouble, the local county government and the School Inspection Department of the Ministry of Rites were really in charge of the matter, but Hong Ji
He still explained the reasons and the final conclusion loudly. He neither dared to add insult to injury and sue anyone casually, nor did he dare to favor anyone with the thought of selling out.
Chen Pingan raised his head, put down the book in his hand, and asked: "Hong Ji, if you were the person in charge, how would you deal with it?"
Hong Ji's mind was racing, and he quickly prepared a manuscript, carefully weighing every word and sentence, and said slowly: "If I were the person in charge, I still think I could be more relaxed and just delete the twenty-three text contents. There is no need to pursue them.
The faults of those two literati, our Da Li should have the first-class magnanimity of a strong nation, and the scholars said a few words and complained, it is nothing."
Chen Pingan smiled and said nothing.
Hong Ji gritted his teeth and said: "Books can be controlled loosely, but bookshops selling books and academies in various places where literati gather together must be strictly controlled."
Chen Pingan said: "Continue."
Hong Ji has one head and two heads. Continue? Imperial Master, I have nothing more to say.
Chen Ping'an said: "It is right to be tight on the outside and tight on the inside, but we must also pay attention to the propriety. The yamen must not only control the affairs strictly, but also let the bookstore and the academy not be bitten by a snake once and be afraid of the well rope for ten years, resulting in the occurrence of
There are two extreme situations. One is that those works and literati have no place to stand. The book
In order to avoid getting into trouble, the academies just cut it off. In order to have an explanation with the government, the academies approached the literati, who seemed to have a heart-to-heart talk but actually warned them. The other type was the bookstore. The academies shared the same hatred with the literati, so they did not publish their complaints in books, and those who were in the opposition were transferred to other places.
Using scolding on the affairs of the Dali Dynasty is a shortcut to gain fame and support."
Hong Ji thought about it carefully and thought it made sense. It was just that it was always difficult to deal with the literati in the opposition. Hong Ji was really not good at it.
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "You don't have to apologize to me today. I didn't plan to talk to you about anything serious. I just wanted to talk about casual off-topics without thinking."
Hong Ji smiled awkwardly, "Master, you can do whatever you want, how can I dare to talk casually?" Probably because he was born in the border army, and he couldn't say anything nice, so Hong Ji silently waited for the master to issue an eviction order, so that he could go back home.
, review carefully on the road, which sentence was wrong.
Unexpectedly, the Imperial Master asked: "Do you want tea?"
Hong Ji almost blurted out that drinking with a knife is fine, but luckily he held it back and nodded: "Drink."
Chen Ping'an asked: "Are there any particularities about what kind of tea you drink?"
Hong Ji said: "As long as you have tea and water."
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "There is a lot of care."
Hong Ji struggled not to laugh.
Rong Yu quickly brought tea and the Flower God Cup, which were of course genuine.
Hong Ji calculated her steps accurately, stood up, took the teacup with both hands, and thanked her. When she smiled and nodded in greeting and turned around, Hong Ji gently sat down.
Chen Pingan leaned forward and pulled out a thin book.
With sharp eyes, Hong Ji caught a glimpse of the simple red sandalwood chair behind the desk, inlaid with a piece of plum-green circular moiré porcelain. Just such a touch of color seemed to brighten the entire otherwise monotonous official hall.
Chen Ping'an asked: "Hong Ji, you have been in the position of commander of the City Patrol Troops and Horses Department for three years and two months. Which family of Yichixiang and Chier Street are the most difficult to control?"
Hong Ji was stunned. This question of the Imperial Master is not easy to answer.
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "If you think they are all easy to control, then pick one that is relatively difficult to control."
Hong Ji's face turned red instantly. He didn't step down from the steps, it was clearly a silent slap on his face.
Chen Pingan picked up the secret records of the Ministry of Justice in his hand, "On the third day of Xu Zheng on the sixth day of the first lunar month of the year before last, on the ground of Xiangfu Square, a drunken and trouble-making young man pointed his nose at Hong Ji and called him an ungrateful bitch. If it hadn't been for his father back then,
He helped him along the way without expecting anything in return. Maybe Hong Ji is still serving as a captain at the border and drinking horse urine. Hong Ji, do you think he is courageous? Can you control him?"
Hong Ji was about to speak but stopped, his fists resting on his knees were clenched tightly, and his head was buzzing.
Chen Ping'an put his hands in his sleeves and leaned on the back of the chair, saying: "The scholars of the Han tribe who worked as farmhouse ministers in the early days and ascended to the emperor's hall in the evening, as well as warriors on the battlefield, arrived in the officialdom where everyone seemed to be amiable and friendly, but in reality they were full of murderous intentions and knives were hidden in their smiles.
After a while, it is indeed difficult to adapt. Some people can never make it in their lifetime, and some people learn faster in Gongmen practice."
Chen Pingan smiled, "I had just moved here before and saw a book on Cui Guoshi's desk. It was a travelogue. It was hundreds of thousands of words long. It was a deputy mountain chief describing how several academies moved during the war.
, the bleak experience of exile finally coming together
, although it is difficult and ups and downs, but the whole article is written very calmly. This master is knowledgeable and has rules for doing things. How he handles common affairs is written in great detail. The conflicts between colleagues and the contempt between scholars among scholars are all.
It can be called ease of use, but its
There was a detail in the book that he sent away in just a few dozen words. It was about a mountain chief he admired very much. This person was a highly respected person and was his wife. He had a dispute with a local handyman and made a big fuss. It was a big deal.
Difficulties big and small, we have to protect the reputation of the mountain chief
, we have to settle disputes, and we also have to make the dozen or so intellectuals living in a large compound feel that they are doing things fairly and without being degrading. After reading his book and seeing his words, I can completely imagine this old gentleman.
, how gloomy and gloomy I felt at that time.”
Hong Ji was stunned when he heard this. This commander of the Military and Horse Department, who was fluent in writing, was really surprised that the National Defense Council would say this.
Chen Pingan said: "Your position is very important, extremely important. His Majesty is willing to put you in this position, so he naturally trusts you. He will not let you be a cruel official, but also wants you to handle things properly. So in the future, Hong Ji
If you encounter something like Xiangfufang again, it will be easy to handle. It's very simple, let me be the villain, and I will take care of it for you."
"If you really don't have confidence, I can also discuss with Your Majesty to let you go to a certain local state and return to the army. I believe that deep down in your heart you will not feel that this is a relegation. Besides, the imperial court will soon merge the states into a province, and the official
Upgrading to half a level is always not difficult."
Hong Ji heard this and said: "Master, I know it well. I was the one who made things difficult for Your Majesty before. From now on, I will only hold on to one purpose. I don't care whose son or grandson you are. If anyone dares to make things difficult for me and the patrolling army, I will
It will be difficult for him to move out the Imperial Guard!"
Chen Ping'an was stunned, good guy, are you talking so straightforwardly?
Hong Ji took a big sip of tea and accidentally bottomed it out. Hong Ji didn't feel embarrassed and grinned: "The Imperial Master can start scolding!"
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "You have worked hard for this celebration for so long. You can go to the Changpu River tonight and enjoy a celebratory drink."
Hong Ji stood up, cupped his hands and said, "With these words from the Imperial Master, my colleagues and I will start drinking...drinking!"
Chen Pingan stood up, walked Hong Ji to the door, and suddenly asked: "I heard that you are the son of a carpenter?"
Hong Ji, who had just been tongue-tied, suddenly brightened up and nodded vigorously: "Back then, my father's woodworking skills were the best in the country!"
Now that I have returned to my hometown and met my father, I still respect him more than fear him. His father is a boring gourd who never cares about his own affairs. Only once when he was drinking, the old man said a few truthful words, but he just told Hong Ji to do what he wanted.
Two things, be a good official and don't break the law. And don't ask for a younger one. He will only recognize one daughter-in-law in his life.
Chen Ping'an nodded and said softly: "It's all the same. A master craftsman shows others the rules."
Hong Ji was startled, and for the first time he took a quick look at the young Imperial Master next to him, and then strode down the steps.
Just after Shenshi, Xiao Pu had already rushed to the Imperial Master's Mansion, much earlier than the time scheduled by both parties. She said that the conditions offered by the Dali court were readily agreed to by the main hall.
To reciprocate the favor, Chen Pingan also said that there would soon be two more monks secretly near the Taoist temple in the capital of Yuxuan Kingdom. Xiao Pu was asked to make one more trip to find Zhao Yao and Cao Gengxin to discuss the details. Xiao Pu
He simply said goodbye and left. The affairs were complicated and complicated, and he was exhausted. It was really more laborious than assassinating anyone.
Before leaving the official hall, Xiao Pu paid a little attention to all the details of the furnishings in the house, including what kind of study room was kept, and what books were on the bookshelves, especially new books. They were all knowledge and would soon be studied carefully by many caring people.
For example, can you send a calligraphy and painting here, place a few elegant utensils, and put that work on the desk, and the Imperial Master has looked at it?
Xiao Pu went to find "Yu Qing". The latter didn't know what he was thinking, but he had no idea of returning to the Yingying Qingyi lineage. Xiao Pu thought it was nothing, and let Gongsun Lingling kneel on the ground and kowtow a few times.
Pu helped her up again and said that it was good. Gongsun Linngling gave her a blessing and she was about to cry. Xiao Pu joked that she was really pitiful.
Xiao Pu walked out of the Imperial Master's Mansion alone, and she silently looked back at the wall.
It was like several fellow villagers who had left Lizhu Dongtian on the streets of Dali Capital before. They met again and then went their separate ways, going east, west, north and south.
Even if she is just a bystander, she will sincerely feel that the encounters in life are really incredible.
Just like a fortune teller passing by the Mud Bottle Alley in Huaihuang County thirty years ago.
