Chapter 535 The paper kites in the sky are different
On Gongliu Island, there are still willow trees in late autumn.
This island is the headquarters of the Zhenjing Sect, which is also the top of the mountain where the Patriarch Hall was built.
Including Gongliu Island, the entire Shujian Lake has been under construction in the past year. The dust has been flying and the sky has been blocked. The wealthy Zhenjing Sect has hired many Mohist architects and Yin Yang Kanyu to come here to survey the terrain and determine the roots of the mountains.
Water transportation, as well as farmers and other immortal masters and a large number of mountain craftsmen come here to work. In the words of the leader Jiang Shangzhen, just don’t save me the immortal money. Every floor tile, every window grille, and every flowerbed here has to be paid for.
They are the best in Aquarius Continent, and those monks who are especially good at building the Immortal Family's mansion, there are hundreds of them, most of them are from Tongye Continent, just hiring people to take the cross-continent ferry to and from the real realm
The sect took care of everything from beginning to end, and everyone in China stayed at the Xianjia Inn. In this way, the Zhenjing sect just spent the fairy money on this matter, and was able to make many Shujian Lake old island sects overnight.
Empty the family fortune.
Therefore, all the mountain immortals in Aquarius Continent know the second thing. The Zhenjing Sect is extremely rich.
The first thing is, of course, that the Zhenjing Sect has three and a half Shangwujing enshrinements.
A female Sword Immortal from Luzhou in Beiju named Li Cai, the old man from Yugui Sect who was expected to be the leader of Zhenjing Sect, Liu Laocheng from Yupu Realm, plus Liu Laocheng from Qingxia Island who is half of Yupu Realm
.
Now Liu Zhimao has begun to retreat into isolation.
Therefore, the islands around Miyagi Island have been closed recently.
Two people were walking slowly along the willow bank. Jiang Shangzhen, the leader of the clan, and Liu Laocheng, the chief worshiper.
Jiang Shangzhen broke off the wicker sticks and wove them into a willow ring, put it on his head, and said with a smile: "I'll leave in the past. Right, Brother Liu."
Liu Laocheng said nothing.
Jiang Shangzhen is a very strange hero, his methods are bloody, he is good at hiding his sword behind his smile, but he is very strict with rules. This feeling is not what Jiang Shangzhen said, but everything Jiang Shangzhen did when he chose Shujian Lake as the location of the Jade Guizong's next sect.
Because, they are all explaining this truth to the monks of the sect. Of course, the rules set by Jiang Shangzhen are very unkind. For this reason, Guan Yiran, the general of the Great Li cavalry garrison, negotiated with the Zhenjing Sect many times.
Li Fuxiu, who was enshrined in the baby, often went to the general's mansion to quarrel. The two sides could not stop arguing. They blushed every time and slapped the table and stared. Fortunately, the quarrel was over and no action was taken. It was not that Li Fuxiu had a good temper, but that Jiang Shangzhen had warned this man.
Just like the women worshiping the Zhenjing Sect in front of the outer facade, your life, Li Furui, is worthless, and the Zhenjing Sect's face... is not valuable either. The only thing that is truly valuable in the world is money.
Jiang Shangzhen's previous words with emotion, "I have passed away in the past," actually mean very simple. Since I am willing to tell you this matter face to face, it means that although I, Jiang Shangzhen, know about your love and grievances with Liu Laocheng back then, but
You, Liu Laocheng, can rest assured that there won’t be any disgusting little moves.
Liu Laocheng was not polite, and he was really relieved.
As for Liu Zhimao's success in breaking through the realm, Zhenjing Sect's offerings to the upper five realms have become three.
Because the old man of the Jade Guizong who claimed to be in seclusion was too dead to die.
At that time, there was a posture of four people working together to surround and kill, but only two people actually took action.
Liu Laocheng and Liu Zhimao are only responsible for holding the line, or watching the show.
Kill the chicken to scare the monkey.
Right here on Miyagijima Island.
Li Cai and Jiang Shangzhen, one unsheathed his sword and the other sacrificed the willow leaf. After seeing Li Cai, the meritorious old man of Jade Guizong didn't even think about dying with Jiang Shangzhen, a madman. Unfortunately, he couldn't escape.
So he died.
Even the many monks on Gongliu Island only noticed that the weather was strange for a moment, and then the world became silent, the clouds were calm, the wind was light, and the moon was bright.
Jiang Shangzhen suddenly said: "In the future, when you meet Taoist priests from the Shenggao Sect, please show some respect to me, the disciples of the Zhenjing Sect, and just behave with your tail between your legs. Regardless of right or wrong, as long as you fight and are beaten to death, the Zhenjing Sect will do nothing.
If something happened and accidentally killed the other party, the Zhenjing Sect Ancestor Hall will cut off the head of this heroic man, and Li Fuxiu will send it to the Shengao Sect to make amends."
Liu Laocheng nodded and said: "I understand."
Jiang Shangzhen smiled and said, "Don't you quite understand?"
Liu Laocheng shook his head.
Not difficult to understand.
A big tree attracts the wind and is the target of public criticism.
The Zhenjing Sect has no favor at all in Aquarius Continent. It seems to have unlimited scenery, but in fact it has enemies everywhere, such as the iron cavalry of the Song family in Da Li.
But understanding is understanding. Liu Laocheng still admires Jiang Shangzhen, the young sect master, for being willing to bow down to this.
This Immortal Master of Genealogy who holds a cloud cave blessed land is simply more wild than Shan Ze Yexiu.
Jiang Shangzhen sighed, "My situation now is actually the situation of you and Liu Zhimao. We must strengthen ourselves and accumulate strength, and also make our opponents feel controllable. I just don't know who the Dali Song family will eventually push out.
It is a constraint for our Zhenjing Sect. Everything is good in Aquarius Continent, but this is bad. The Song family is the lord of a continent, a secular dynasty, and it actually has the hope of completely controlling the mountains and the mountains. If it were our Tongye Continent, Tiangao Emperor Xiao
, the Taoist monks on the mountain are really carefree."
Liu Laocheng smiled and said: "In fact, the same was true in the Shujian Lake in the past. The kings and ministers of the surrounding countries were all in danger."
Jiang Shangzhen shook his head, "It's different. A lawless place like Shujian Lake is a bit similar to the barbarian land in ancient times. Monsters are rampant in the world. The gods in the sky feed on the incense of the world, and the monsters on the ground feed on humans. That's why there are
The world and the world are separated by the meritorious saints. Those who live in blessings and do not know how to be blessed are not stupid people. In fact, almost all of us are no exception."
Jiang Shangzhen walked slowly, "Nowadays, the common people in our vast world talk about the gods of mountains and rivers, the demons of flowers and trees, the changes of monsters and ghosts, and the ghosts and spirits. What are they? It is a place far away in the high sky, a remote mountain lake.
Ze, even if there are those who are close to us and living with us, they are still bound by extremely complicated rules, so they can say with certainty that the place where demons are causing trouble is the place where the heavenly master draws his sword. In the streets and shops, there are those peach charms and door gods everywhere.
There are ancestral temples full of incense, you can go to temples and Taoist temples to pray for blessings and ward off disasters, you can go to the mountains to visit immortals, and all kinds of opportunities."
Jiang Shangzhen stopped, looked around, picked off the willow rings, and threw them into the lake, "Then what will happen if one day, we people, whether ordinary people or cultivators, have to reverse their positions with them?"
A situation? Are you afraid? Anyway, I, Jiang Shang, am really afraid."
Liu Laocheng said: "I won't think about this."
Jiang Shangzhen nodded and said: "It doesn't matter. Because some people will think about it. So you and Liu Zhimao can be pure and cultivate your own way. Because even if the world turns upside down in the future, you can still take refuge and not die. If your realm is high enough, you will always have your escape and survival.
.”
Liu Laocheng frowned.
Jiang Shangzhen asked with a smile: "But what if all the Taoists on the top of the mountain think like you, Liu Laocheng?"
Liu Laocheng shook his head and said: "No."
Jiang Shangzhen scratched his head and sighed: "So this is the most fun place. Everything that is good, we take it as a matter of course. There is no need to talk or think about it. Those that are not, we grit our teeth and can think about it for a long time."
Liu Laocheng was a little confused. He didn't know what the sect leader was talking about to him.
Jiang Shangzhen has changed the topic, his mood is relaxed, he no longer has the strange emotions before, and his steps are relaxed, "In Jianghu romance novels, the hero's friends all do good people and good deeds. Even if they die, they will die well. In the novels about gods and monsters, they all die well."
, people's hearts are ups and downs, ghosts are rampant, and good and evil are always rewarded. Liu Laocheng, do you read these miscellaneous books? "
Liu Laocheng shook his head and said, "I never look at it."
Jiang Shangzhen smiled and said: "So I need to study more."
Liu Laocheng knew that the sect leader was joking, so naturally he would not take it seriously.
This sect master was bored every day, so outside of his practice, he would use his tricks to wander around the four major cities by the Shujian Lake. Every time he returned, he would buy some toys for the children in the arms of the Sword Immortal Li Cai to amuse them.
, Jiang Shangzhen can take a long time to teach his children to walk. Sometimes, Liu Laocheng will feel depressed. Is it Jiang Shangzhen’s unpredictable temperament that makes him step by step to the high position he is today, or is it his true intention after climbing high?
His temperament gradually changed, and he became the leader of Zhenjing Sect today.
Jiang Shangzhen walked to a ferry and said, "Before Liu Zhimao retreated, he asked me for the old land including Qingxia Island and Sulin Island. He planned to give it to his disciple Gu Can. Because he didn't know that the land near Yunlou City
I made a special trip to allocate this territory to Gu Can. But after hearing about this, that young man Gu Can actually dared to accept it at such a young age. He really starved the timid to death and overpowered the bold."
Liu Laocheng said: "This boy, if he stays in Shujian Lake, may be a hidden danger to the Zhenjing Sect."
Jiang Shangzhen turned his head and smiled playfully.
Liu Laocheng smiled frankly and said: "Of course it's not just me who has an enmity with him and Qingxia Island. Neither I, Liu Laocheng, nor the Zhenjing Sect are willing to see Gu Can rise quietly. Raising tigers is a taboo.
"
Not just.
Jiang Shangzhen smiled and said: "What do you think Gu Can's biggest reliance is?"
Liu Laocheng said: "Of course it's Chen Pingan who is no longer in Shujian Lake, and the rules Chen Pingan taught him. Guan Yiran, who has a good relationship with Chen Pingan, or someone I don't know, will definitely be watching Gu secretly.
Can's every move means that Guan Yiran will of course keep an eye on me, Liu Zhimao, and the Zhenjing Sect. Gu Can should have already thought of this."
Regarding the so-called raising tigers for disaster.
Jiang Shangzhen was noncommittal.
Although Liu Zhimao was of a lower level than Liu Laocheng, he had more dealings with the Dali court. In his early years, he had more ambitions than Liu Laocheng to be a veritable monarch of Shujian Lake, so he could see further than Liu Laocheng in certain matters.
, of course, in the final analysis, Liu Zhimao's self-interest is still involved, so his mind is spinning more. As for Liu Laocheng, as a wild cultivator, he has a promising path, so his mind is naturally purer and his thoughts are not so messy.
In fact, before Liu Zhimao went into seclusion, he found Gu Can in a house in a back alley in Chishui City.
Jiang Shangzhen could guess what happened.
Donate books and preach.
Arguing with the Zhenjing Sect to return to Qingxia Island is a kind of profound protection for Gu Can.
Because Liu Zhimao also guessed Jiang Shangzhen’s long-term plan.
Rather than letting the Song family of Dali support an unknown force to target the Zhenjing Sect, it would be better for the Zhenjing Sect to proactively send suitable candidates to their doorstep.
For both parties, this is the wisest choice with the least "internal friction".
Jiang Shangzhen went to Longquan County twice in a big way, and anyone who was not blind could see it. This was something Jiang Shangzhen deliberately wanted people to ponder and study in detail.
Luo Luo Shan Chen Pingan.
Zhenjingzong Jiang Shangzhen.
The bridge in the middle is Qingxia Island and Gu Can.
Therefore, the real difficulty of Zhenjing Sect has never been Gu Can, Shu Jian Hu, or even Shen Gao Sect.
But after two major trends, one is that the Great Li Iron Cavalry annexed a continent, and then blocked another even bigger trend.
At that time, it was the critical moment when Zhenjing Sect needed to change from choice to decision.
But these, not to mention Liu Laocheng, even Liu Zhimao, were completely kept in the dark. A behemoth like the Zhenjing Sect was just placed in the eyes of the two wild cultivators. They would think more about things that seemed to have nothing to do with them.
Deep knowledge?
Yamazawa Yexiu, except that his cultivation level is a bit weak and his fists are a little bigger, what else does he know?
I have had enough of the eye-rolling and suppression from the Immortal Master of Genealogy in my life, but in the end, I still think that realm is all the truth.
Wouldn't you think carefully about why Yugui Sect has a leader who is about to ascend to the realm, and why Jiang Shangzhen can have the family fortune he has today? The sequence cannot be mistaken. Today's three religions and hundreds of schools have strict rules.
In the earliest days, who was not a mud-legged person living on the earth? Who was not a puppet in the hands of the superior gods?
It's not that Jiang Shangzhen looks down on the wild cultivators in the world. In fact, he traveled to Luzhou in Beiju and worked as a wild cultivator for many years, and he was very good as a wild cultivator.
Jiang Shangzhen looked at the rippling green lake of book slips, and said softly: "Masters' rulers are not too many, but too few, and the strikes are too light. Disciples and students are always forgetful and do not remember to strike, but they have never been
People have thought about whether masters have their own daily necessities to worry about, and whether one day they will be disappointed if they say they are disappointed. All people in the world who like to be calm and reasonable will be truly desperate once they are disappointed."
Liu Laocheng still didn't feel much in his heart.
Jiang Shangzhen suddenly turned around and asked: "A sect master from the Yupu realm is talking to you heart and soul, but you don't have to listen. What about the Immortal realm?"
Liu Laocheng was immediately horrified.
Jiang Shangzhen said with a smile: "Those who don't know are not guilty. After all, the sage has said that if you don't teach, you will be punished."
Jiang Shangzhen rubbed his chin, "I shouldn't have told you the truth so early. The mountain-holding treasure I hid in my maid Ya'er is the real life and death relationship between you and Liu Zhimao. But I have changed my mind now.
Because I suddenly want to understand something. Reasoning with you Shan Zeye Xiu, fists are enough. Spending too much time on it is simply wasting my money, Jiang Shangzhen."
It's not a delay in making money, it's a delay in spending money.
Liu Laocheng's face was expressionless and he didn't say a word.
The long-lost predicament and danger, the long-lost murderous intent.
Jiang Shangzhen sighed, "I used to think that everyone, no matter good or bad, no matter up or down the mountain, will become smarter when they reach a higher altitude. But after so many years, I'm actually quite disappointed. Liu Laocheng, you
If you don't hold on tight, really put your mind down, cultivate your state of mind, and change the fundamental context of some thoughts, let alone catch up with me, even Liu Zhimao can leave you behind. Of course, there is also that Gu Can
, it's a matter of time. When that time comes, you will be the chief minister yourself, which is a big joke. You will be like an ant for a long time in the future. You can't kill Gu Can in your life. Liu Zhimao is already on an equal footing with you.
Look, I, Jiang Shangzhen, need to look up to me even more."
Jiang Shangzhen raised his hand, shook his sleeves, twirled his hands casually, and rolled out a green drop of water transportation essence with both hands, and then gently crushed it with his two fingers, "Do you think that Mr. Accountant came to the island to see you?
Does he look up to you? No, what he respects and awes are the rules that have gathered around you at that time. But sooner or later, it may not take too long, decades? A period? You will become Liu Laocheng even if you stand on both feet
On the top of Gongliu Island, if that person stands on the ferry here, you will feel like a dwarf."
Liu Laocheng said: "I have learned a lesson."
Jiang Shangzhen said with a smile: "Sure enough, the words spoken in the immortal realm are easier to listen to. So you have to study hard and I have to practice hard."
Liu Laocheng sighed.
Jiang Shangzhen said for no reason: "Perhaps one day, I may return to Tongyezhou to take charge of the Yugui Sect, and then you will be the next leader of the Zhenjing Sect. With Liu Zhimao, you can suppress the bottleneck of the Yupu Realm.
, let him not even have the courage to break into the Immortal Realm. If you were in a good mood at that time and felt that there was no threat to you, then be more generous and let him enter the Immortal Realm and let him create Aquarius Continent.
It is the lower sect of Zhenjing Sect.”
Jiang Shangzhen put his hands on his sleeves and said, "This is not to paint a picture for you Liu Laocheng. I, Jiang Shangzhen, will not be so mean."
Liu Laocheng seemed to have some realization.
Nowadays, the Zhenjing Sect has someone dedicated to collecting all the landscape reports from Tongyezhou. Among them, there are rumors that the leader of the Jade Gui Sect, which firmly ranks as the number one among the Immortal Clan in Tongyezhou, may have gone into seclusion.
Pursue that mysterious and mysterious realm of ascension.
As for the old sect masters Xun Yuan and Liu Laocheng, they were not strangers to each other. After all, they had traveled a long way to the Aquarius Island landscape together.
In fact, Liu Laochen was worshiped by the Zhenjing Sect appointed by Xun Yuan.
But on Jiang Shangzhen's side, this incense and love are useless even for half a copper coin.
Liu Laocheng took a deep breath and felt that the world was huge. It was rare that he felt ambitious again. He nodded and said in a deep voice: "Then from now on, I, Liu Laocheng, can sincerely work for my Zhenjing Sect, through life and death!
"
Jiang Shangzhen turned his head and patted Liu Laocheng's shoulder gently, "My family doesn't speak the same language. I said some unpleasant things before. Brother Liu, don't mind."
Liu Laocheng hesitated for a moment.
Jiang Shangzhen said: "My family, of course you can say some harsh words, you don't mind. I don't worry about anything, I only worry about too much money."
Liu Laocheng said with a straight face: "Sect Master Jiang, why do you deserve a beating so much?"
Jiang Shangzhen rubbed his cheek, thought for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "Maybe it's because you are not a woman."
Over in the Qingluan Kingdom, there was a handsome young man in white who took an old man and a young boy to visit all the beautiful places in the country.
Prior to this, this young man "picked up" a jade seal of Wenjing Kingdom's subjugation from a man whose family had fallen into disgrace at Fengwei Ferry in the hometown of Liu Laocheng, the only wild cultivator of the Five Realms in Aquarius Continent.
However, the Wenjing Kingdom was not destroyed by the horses of the Great Li Cavalry, but by an earlier almanac.
The subjugated prince of Wenjing Kingdom seemed to have never had the idea of restoring his country. After so many years, he never came down the mountain and is still practicing Taoism on the mountain.
And in this way, even if Wen Jingguo still has some residual luck, it is actually equivalent to completely ending the country.
Because it is an iron rule in the world that no monk in the fifth realm can become an emperor or monarch.
In addition to this jade seal purchased at a low price, the young man also went to see the old apricot tree, the "Emperor Tree", the "Prime Minister Tree", and the "General Apricot". One tree has three imperial seals. The boy in white stopped there and saw the big tree.
With an empty stomach at the bottom, the young man squatted in the tree hole and muttered for a long time.
Later, on the way, the young man who got the jade seal used the reason of "collecting it for completeness" and walked to a certain mountain. He made a bet with an old monk who was walking on the Fulong Road. After winning, he made another bet.
He bet two on two, and almost won another round, so he continued to bet all on the table, bet four on four, and finally bet eight on eight. He won the opponent and only had two jade seals left. The foreigner named Cui
He was so addicted to gambling that he even threatened to bet the remaining two of the sixteen treasures he had received on his opponent, but in the end he won.
Just like this, relying on shitty luck, the boy in white got the remaining sixteen treasures of Wenjing Kingdom inexplicably. He swaggered down the mountain, randomly packed all the priceless imperial seals into cotton bags, and asked a frail child to carry them on his back.
, on the way down the mountain, there was a clanging sound.
The Liuli Immortal who was the old servant always felt chills on his back on the way down the mountain. The mountain protection array would be activated at any time, and then someone would close the door and beat the dog. Of course, it was hard to say who would beat whom in the end. But the old monk was worried that the magic weapon would not be there.
He has long eyes, and Master Cui will be accidentally killed if he cannot take care of them. The old monk knows very well that the only thing Master Cui cares about is the little fool with cloudy eyes.
Fortunately, my gambling luck on that mountain finally improved for once and I didn't do anything.
Along the way, the three of us walked frequently.
I have watched the so-called cavalry performance in the capital of Yunxiao Kingdom, and enjoyed the Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival in the capital of Qingshan Kingdom. It is a pity that the old monk was not able to see the eccentric "Five Beauties" of the Qingshan Kingdom Emperor. It is a pity, otherwise it would be better to have more experience.
.However, Cui Xianshi purchased a well-known "Qian Materia Medica". It was either a rare imperial book or an ordinary book store. He often read it while walking on the mountain trails and said it was a bit chewy.
After crossing the border of Qingluan Kingdom, Cui Xianshi walked even slower. He often took out a jade seal and rubbed it on the face of the child he nicknamed "Brother Gao".
Liuli Xianweng has always been like a servant porter to a wealthy son on a study tour, carrying a glove box.
However, I feel that compared to that "Brother Gao" who is often ridden, he is actually very lucky, so he often warns himself to cherish blessings.
As for many of Mr. Cui's casual behaviors, the old monk has long been accustomed to them.
For example, among a group of wild cultivators in the mountains, one of the three was named Lu Yangzhen. The two of them met by chance. After walking together for a while, the Liuli Immortal could not figure out what qualifications such ant wild cultivators had to compete with Master Cui.
The conversation was very pleasant, and in the end, we got an opportunity deliberately left by Master Cui Daxian. It was a rain shelter cave, and the mechanism was "accidentally" touched. As a result, one of the formation masters was blessed with a lot of fame.
If the talisman paper for Huang Xi is converted into fairy money, it will definitely be a huge windfall. The other two, Lu Yangzhen and others, also gained a lot. I believe those three people felt like they had stepped on dog shit at that time.
I raised my feet and took a look, oh, I was just about to curse, but there is gold hidden under the shit.
The Liuli Immortal looked at the three ecstatic Yamazawa Yexiu. After discussing it, he showed some enthusiasm and coyly wanted to give some of the immortal money to Master Cui. Master Cui actually had an "surprised" look on his face.
He smiled with "joy" and "tears of gratitude". Liuli Xianweng stood aside, feeling uncomfortable.
But if you can’t figure it out, what should you do? Then don’t think about it. Liuli Xianweng, an evil cultivator, is very clear about some things.
As for the Rouge Studio where the female monks from Yunxiao Kingdom gathered together, the young man in white stood at the gate of the mountain with his hands on his hips, shouting loudly and selling his fairy erotic pictures. Of course, the deal was not concluded, and Renyi was not there, so he could only
He was chased down the mountain by a large group of female monks.
This kind of thing is not a big deal at all.
Liuli Xianweng feels that he has successfully cultivated his mind along the way!
Except for these jokes.
Master Cui occasionally became a little serious, which impressed the old monk even more.
In the Jingui Temple, Cui Xianshi and the temple master sat and discussed the Tao.
While chatting, the old viewer fell into a state of forgetfulness.
The temple master's name was Zhang Guo, and he was at the Longmen realm. He seemed to be showing signs of reaching the Golden Core realm all of a sudden.
The Glazed Immortal was very envious when he saw it.
At the Baishui Temple, where spring water rolled down the ground, Master Cui Xian sat on a well whose mouth was blocked for unknown reasons, and began to preach the scriptures with a young monk who preached far more outside the temple than inside the temple.
Both of them are dressed in white.
One Confucian and one monk.
The two sides first debated that "the word "deviating from the scriptures" is the theory of demons.
Liuli Xianweng was just listening to the Heavenly Book anyway and was not interested at all.
The child "Brother Gao" was squatting on the other side of the bamboo door, listening to everyone inside talking about their own methods. The child was babbling a little, but still couldn't speak.
Finally, Master Cui Xian, who was fluttering in white clothes, sat cross-legged on the well blocked by bluestone, and said a few Zen words with a smile, "The ten directions will be cut off, and the thousand eyes will be cut off? Why not sit down and cut off the tongues of all the people in the world? Then do you want to hate it?"
Don’t you kick the lotus seat over and smash the Buddha’s head to pieces?”
Then he slapped it and broke the bluestone blocking the well.
The young man dressed in white hovered over the mouth of the well, laughed again and asked: "Old monk, you also have the spirit of a cat, don't you dare to bark in front of others?"
The monk in white bowed his head, clasped his hands, and chanted softly.
Cui Xianshi finally smiled and said: "The Buddhist scriptures are a bit heavy, so you can only put them down if you can lift them. The two doors in the west cannot be opened if you can't see through them."
The young monk raised his head, smiled knowingly, and said slowly: "As high as you are at chess as there are few in the world, but as stupid as I am in the world."
Then Liuli Immortal saw his Master Cui, who seemed to have finished talking, so he jumped down into the well, laughed and walked away, patted the child on the head, and the three of them left Baishui Temple together.
The young man in white rolled up his sleeves, walked wildly, and said, "Wouldn't it be a pity if this stubborn stone refuses to nod and is buried in the wild tobacco vines without an unexpected encounter?!"
The Liuli Immortal didn't understand anything anyway, but he just didn't know how to pretend to understand, so he nodded and said: "In addition to your great knowledge, Master Immortal, you have never thought that you are also so high in Taoism and Dharma. It is no problem to participate in the debate on the three religions.
"
The boy in white smiled and cursed: "Fuck you!"
The Liuli Immortal smiled awkwardly, but still nodded and said: "The immortal master is right."
The young man in white turned his head and said, "You are quite wise. Why don't you stay here and become a monk?"
The Glazed Immortal Old Man said with a mournful face: "No, I really don't have the wisdom to practice Buddhism! Not at all!"
Then Cui Dongshan took an old man and a young child to the capital of Qingluan Kingdom.
I met the leader of a small Taoist temple.
The Taoist temple is called Baiyun Temple. It is a secluded place the size of a piece of tofu, adjacent to the back streets of the market. It is noisy with chickens crowing and dogs barking, children playing, and vendors hawking.
Cui Dongshan stayed there for a few days and donated a lot of money for sesame oil. Of course, he also borrowed and read books. This visitor didn’t have much else but a large collection of books. And the middle-aged Taoist priest with an unknown name
, there are nearly a million words of various reading experiences, and Cui Dongshan has read more of them. The viewer is not self-conscious and is willing to be read by others. The key point is that this foreign boy who is on a study tour is also a generous pilgrim.
, my own Baiyun Temple is finally not in trouble.
In the early morning when Cui Dongshan said goodbye and left, a little Taoist boy who had finally lived the life of a god for a few days was really reluctant to let him go and burst into tears. Seeing the little Taoist boy, the master of the temple felt a little sad.
How incompetent is this master?
Cui Dongshan walked for less than half a day.
The little Taoist boy was still complaining there, a little distracted when he was sweeping the fallen leaves on the floor of the Taoist temple with a broom.
Then seven or eight oxcarts arrived outside Baiyun Temple, saying they were delivering books.
The bullock cart was filled with various books from various schools of thought, and they were carried box by box to the small Taoist temple.
This scene left the thin, middle-aged viewer dumbfounded.
However, when the last bullock cart was loaded with a plaque, the visitor called the little Taoist boy who was overjoyed, and together they carefully carried it to the study.
There are two words written on the plaque, "Zhai Xin".
After leaving the capital of Qingluan Kingdom, Liuli Xianweng served as the driver of a carriage. Cui Dongshan sat aside and the child took a nap in the carriage.
The old monk asked softly: "Master Immortal, the master of Baiyun Temple is not a Taoist, why do you think so highly of him?"
Cui Dongshan moved one to the left, one to the right, one up and down, waving his two snow-white sleeves, and said: "He, the two gentlemen before and after me, are the same kind of people. In peace and prosperity, it does not show, but in troubled times,
That is……"
The old monk waited patiently for the next step, but there was no follow-up for a long time.
When Liuli Xianweng had given up the answer, Cui Dongshan smiled and said: "The best master."
Cui Dongshan stopped his hands and said slowly: "Ordinary teachers can make good students better in knowledge. Slightly better teachers can also teach good students and manage bad students. They are willing to persuade people to correct their mistakes and do good. As for the best teacher in the world,
Good teachers are those who are willing to show the greatest patience and goodwill to the great evils in the world that are uneducated and ignorant. For such people, no matter where they go, the school and the sound of books are actually there. Some people think it is noisy, but it doesn't matter.
, if someone can listen, then it’s good.”
Cui Dongshan smiled and said: "So they are not tinkers who are shaking the world, but they are the source of the human heart in the world. The water goes down and passes by everyone's feet, so it is not high. Anyone can bend down and scoop the water.
drink."
Cui Dongshan suddenly stood up and raised his arms high as if holding a wine glass. At this moment, the young man in white stood upright with high spirits, "There are many fat, sweet and greasy things in the world. Everyone yearns for them. It's natural and right. It should be like this. It's delicious."
When you are thirsty, there will be water to drink, and you can take it yourself. Wouldn’t it be joyful and unfortunate?”
Liuli Xianweng drove the carriage carefully.
well.
Master Cui Daxian always said some weird things that made people confused.
As a result, the old monk was kicked on the back of the head, and the man cursed: "Damn it, you didn't say a word of flattery or give me any applause?!"
The old monk was startled, and he quickly began to draft and think about his words.
It's just that these flattering words are not always available, not to mention such a frightening to Master Cui, Liuli Xianwen racked his brains and couldn't think of a suitable word.
Fortunately, the man behind him has already said: "Forget it, you won't be lucky enough to go to Luoluo Mountain in your life anyway."
Then Liuli Xianweng felt a little more relaxed.
Because around the carriage, blue birds made of origami were flying around like living creatures.
It's not the yellow seal talisman paper that monks in the middle and fifth realms usually buy with a lot of money.
It is the "innocence talisman" made of material and color like the sky clearing after rain. It is said to be the special talisman paper of Taoist sect Baogao, which is extremely rare and expensive.
The old monk can be considered a half-expert in the Fulu lineage.
So I also know that the most mysterious talisman in the world is a kind of blue talisman that contains the true meaning of the saint. It has no exact name.
It's just that these Baogao Innocence Talismans were casually used to make origami birds.
Master Cui, is it really suitable?
It would be nice for you, the old man, to give me a few as family heirlooms.
The old monk lamented in his heart.
In this bumpy and wandering journey, in fact, he really didn't get any benefit at all. He could only hope that one day in the future, Master Cui Daxian would feel that he had no merit at all, but he still had a hard work as a cow and a horse.
Just the thought of working as a cow or a horse made the old monk feel a little better.
That little idiot in the carriage is the real bully.
Cui Dongshan suddenly said: "We will take a detour instead of going to the Liu family's lion garden. We will go see a poor man."
Then the old monk drove smoothly and slowly southward according to the route given by Cui Dongshan.
Along the way to Qingluan Kingdom, there are many rumors about Liu's Lion Park.
The head of the Liu family, the leader of the Shilin family, was in danger in his later years and his reputation was ruined. He was reduced from a clean figure who was like a literary genius in the country to a literary monster. His poems and articles were devalued to the point of being worthless, and he didn't even mention them.
More dirty water was poured down, and there was no way to avoid it. A scholarly family home, one of the four major private gardens in Qingluan Kingdom, suddenly became a place to hide filth and evil. There were also many large and small bookstores in the market.
Poorly printed pornographic books were circulated throughout the government and the public.
Therefore, when the second son Liu Qingshan returned from traveling and held a wedding banquet in the Lion Park to marry an unknown foreign girl, Old Minister Liu did not see a single close friend from his family.
As for Liu Qingfeng, the eldest son who "killed relatives for justice", he was removed from the Liu family tree early. Now he does not hold a high official position. It is said that he is an assistant official in charge of water transportation. Compared with the previous county magistrate, his official position has been promoted, but
No one thinks that such a person can reach such a high position in the Qingluan Kingdom, where reputation is the most important thing. Maybe one day he will lose all his official skin, and no one will care about him. He is not a worthy person.
It's too boring to talk a few jokes after tea and dinner.
Furthermore, today's Qingluan Kingdom is prospering and its national destiny is prosperous.
In temples, mountains, rivers and lakes, and scholars, there are all talented people springing up like bamboo shoots after the rain, creating a great atmosphere.
For example, there is a child who is only six years old. In just one year, the name of the child prodigy has spread throughout the government and the public. At this year's Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival in the capital, the young child prodigy was ordered to enter the capital and was summoned by the Emperor and the Empress to climb the building. The child
The Empress, who was doted on at first sight, hugged her affectionately on her lap. His Majesty the Emperor personally tested the poetry of this child prodigy and asked the child to compose an impromptu poem according to the proposition. The child was held in the arms of the Empress
After thinking for a while, he wrote a poem. His Majesty the Emperor Long Yan was so happy that he unexpectedly gave his child the official position of "Da Zhouzheng".
This means that this child is very likely to be the youngest civil servant not only in Qingluan Kingdom, but also in the entire history of Aquarius Continent!
At this moment, winter is about to begin.
On the bank of a Cao River that has not yet been completely dredged, on a quiet road, on the roof of a bumpy carriage, a boy in white is sitting cross-legged. In his hand, the child is holding a paper kite, a specialty of Qingluan Country, called the Wooden Harrier.
As long as the silk thread continues, all the paper kites in the world are destined to fly high, but they cannot go far.
Cui Dongshan lay down on his back and stared blankly at the paper kite in the sky.
How is my husband doing now?
The reopening of water transportation is extremely complicated and involves all aspects of Qingluan Kingdom. Therefore, the imperial court did not blindly pursue speed and the progress seemed to be slow.
The officials who presided over this matter were not of high rank. There were three of them. Two were from the capital, who were transferred from the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry. There was also a governor of the state where a certain section of the main water transport route was located. Since the court did not have
This matter has been widely publicized, and not much attention has been paid to it in the Qingluan Kingdom. It seems that the two Beijing officials are more pragmatic, and the local governor is pragmatic, but in fact it is not the case. On the contrary, the one who originally thought was just a formality
The governor, when he actually arrived at the makeshift government office by the Cao River, he discovered that the two noble doctors, whose rank was not as good as his own, seemed to have already made plans. The regulations were detailed and well-organized, which was almost cumbersome, so that even he, who was familiar with local government affairs,
Many of the feudal officials felt that they couldn't get involved, so they just had to follow the rules step by step.
In addition to the two ministers of the fifth rank from the capital in the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Works, there is also an auxiliary official from the fifth rank, whose surname is Liu Mingqingfeng.
Governor Hong really despises this backward official surnamed Liu. Selling friends for glory in the world is already despised by everyone. A bastard who sells his father for glory in the officialdom. Governor Hong feels that he has to deal with such people every day.
When we discuss matters together, we have to change into official robes the next day, which makes us feel uncomfortable even after drinking a cup of tea.
For more than half a year, Governor Hong has always regarded Liu Qingfeng as having a nose that is not a nose and an eye that is not eyes. The two officials from the capital seemed to understand Mr. Hong's mood very well and deliberately turned a blind eye to it. As for Liu Qingfeng himself, he probably had a small official hat and a guilty conscience.
, has been pretending to be respectful to Governor Hong, and many details of the dredging of the Cao River were discussed at the table. Liu Qingfeng almost never spoke proactively, and would only speak when two officials from the capital asked for details.
On this day, in a village next to a section of the Cao River, there was a lively bamboo horse dance to watch.
A scholar who had walked back and forth across the Old Cao River twice, and a young scholar named Liu Li, sat together on the top of a low yellow mud wall, watching from a distance the noisy gongs and drums over there, and the bamboo horses and horses.
Made of bamboo strips, the bamboo horse is wrapped with five-color cloth, divided into two sections, front and back, and hung around the waist of the person jumping on the bamboo horse. According to local customs, formal clothes ride a red horse, green clothes ride a yellow horse, women ride a green horse, and scholars
Riding a white horse and a martial artist riding a black horse each have their own meanings.
In fact, the scholar can no longer tell that he is a scholar with official status. His skin is tanned and shiny, and he is wearing coarse linen clothes. The only thing on his feet is a pair of very strong but old suede boots, which are not something ordinary villagers can have.
.
Not every village can go through the bamboo jumping horse. It depends on which village pays. If the money is more or less, the bamboo jumping horse will dance according to the price.
This village obviously offers a lot of money, so the bamboo horse dance is particularly exciting.
Near the top of the wall were many libertines and tall young men who had come from other villages to join in the fun.
He pointed at the girl in the wealthy village and talked freely, saying that the girl from a certain family would definitely have big breasts in the future, and that the girl from a certain family would definitely have a son. There was laughter and laughter all around the wall, and some people were arguing.
Which young lady is the prettiest? Let’s compare who is the prettiest lady within dozens of miles around. Anyway, everyone has their own preferences.
The scholar also looked at the women they pointed at, and made no secret of his appreciation. The scholar sitting next to him felt a little helpless, "Sir, why are you so unruly?"
The scholar smiled and said: "The nature of women is that it is most difficult to be white. In fact, being fat or thin does not matter."
The book boy said helplessly: "Master, you can just say so."
The scholar smiled and said: "You are still young, and you will understand in the future that a woman's face is not the most important, but a good figure is the best."
The boy rolled his eyes and said, "Sir, I understand what this is all about. I haven't even read a few books, but I still have to get a good name and be an official like the master."
The scholar nodded, "You are a good scholar, and you will definitely be an official in the future."
The book boy suddenly became very happy.
Whatever the master says, no matter what it is, it is always accurate!
Far away from them, and nearby on the bamboo horse, there were constant cheers and cheers.
On the other hand, there were a lot of spectators near the wall on their side. Many of them were picky and disapproving. There were more sneers and sparse applause.
The book boy asked softly: "Master, you are very knowledgeable and know the origins of those bamboo jumping horses. Can you tell me whether you really didn't dance? I think it's good."
Liu Qingfeng whispered: "Of course it's good, but we don't spend money, so why should we say yes? There is no good thing in the world that doesn't cost money?"
The book boy was confused, "What does this mean?"
Liu Qingfeng smiled slightly, stopped talking, and touched the young man's head, "Don't think too much about this, you are in a great time to study now."
The bookboy nodded, remembered something, and asked curiously: "Why do you, sir, only look at the historical files of the Ministry of Household Taxation recently?"
The book boy still doesn't know that this is not something that his master can read through now that he is an official. Someone even secretly sent it to the desk.
Liu Qingfeng said softly: "Looking through the history books, it is found that the emperors of later generations had people write about the personnel of the previous dynasties. It is inevitable that there will be distortion, but only the money in and out is the least likely to be deceived. So when we read history, we must read it if we have the opportunity.
The life histories of those who have been in charge of financial power in the past dynasties, as well as their processes of minting and promoting various large and small coins. Taking one person as the point, taking the profit and loss of the national treasury as the line, and then spreading it out, it will be easier to see clearly the gains and losses of national policies."
The book boy scratched his head.
Liu Qingfeng looked at the hustle and bustle in the distance and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry. If you want to read a book in the future, I will have it here."
The book boy felt a little happy when he saw that the master liked to chat today.
Because those two surveys at the beginning and end of the Cao River were really exhausting, and the master was not very talkative at that time. He just looked at the mountains and rivers that had no difference and wrote notes silently.
The boy took advantage of the master's willingness to talk more today, so he asked more, "Master, why do you always have to chat with the masters and gentlemen from the city and country schools when you go to a place?"
Liu Qingfeng said: "Where does the seed of reading come from? After the parents in the family, there is the teacher. Why is it not an important thing that we scholars must pay attention to? Is it possible that scholars who are full of knowledge and are willing to cultivate themselves and improve their families will fall out of thin air?"
The book boy hummed, "What I said makes sense."
Liu Qingfeng smiled slightly and said, "You can think about this matter carefully now."
The book boy nodded and said, "Okay!"
Suddenly, a group of young and strong men, including tall boys, rushed towards them. Seeing Liu Qingfeng and Shutong's feng shui treasure, one of them jumped up on the wall and said, "Get out of here."
The young scholar has an angry look on his face.
Unexpectedly, his master had already stood up and silently jumped off the low wall without saying anything. The young man had no choice but to follow suit and went to admire the bamboo jumping horse elsewhere. But when he looked again, what he saw was not real anymore.
It made the young man very angry.
Liu Qingfeng stood elsewhere, stretched his neck, stood on tiptoes, and continued to watch the bamboo jumping horse in the village's farm.
The young man was unhappy.
My husband is good at everything, but his temper is too good, which is not good.
"If you don't talk about right and wrong with others, in the end you will be the one who is right and wrong."
Liu Qingfeng smiled and said: "Don't compete with hypocrites for fame, don't compete with true villains for profit, don't argue with stubborn people, don't compete with ordinary people for courage, don't compete with snarky scholars for talent. Don't compete with fools for kindness."
This is indisputable.
In fact, there is still the knowledge of fighting.
However, Liu Qingfeng felt that it would be better to talk to the boy around him later.
It is not a good thing for a young scholar to not focus on reading and just think about big principles.
Just don't make big mistakes.
The young Liu Bei mustered up the courage to refute his omniscient master for the first time, "If we don't fight for anything, then we will have nothing. It would be such a disadvantage. There is no reason to give in every step of the way in life. I think so
not good!"
Liu Qingfeng smiled and said, "Think about it again."
Liu Bei shook his head and said, "I just can't figure it out."
Liu Qingfeng looked away, turned to look at the boy, and joked: "How can you be my book boy if you are so stupid?"
Liu Ming chuckled.
Liu Qingfeng suddenly said: "Let's go."
Liu Bei left with the old man.
Liu Qingfeng walked slowly, thinking about some things that were either small or big.
Liu Ming originally had problems, but as soon as she saw the master like this, she knew she couldn't disturb the master.
Liu Qingfeng would only stand by and watch what Li Baozhen was doing now.
Li Baozhen's ambition, or ambition, is actually not small.
This one of the several leaders of the Lvboting spies in the south of Dali is trying to make a detailed plan from the bottom. He is a scholar, a hero, a scholar leader, and a temple official. After he, Li Baozhen, entered the Qingluan Kingdom.
, everyone was initially a chess piece controlled by him, and now almost all of them are young and ignorant children, such as the child prodigy who was awarded the title of "Great Zhou Zheng".
It sounds very rude, full of conspiracies, and appears sinister and murderous, but it is not necessarily the case.
Li Baozhen is like building a house. His first goal is not to be the behind-the-scenes emperor of the Qingluan Kingdom, but to be able to one day control the fate of the Immortal Family on the mountain by a secular dynasty.
, the reason is very simple, even the Taoist embryo was sent to the mountain by me, Li Baozhen, and the Dali court. Year after year, the Taoist embryo became a certain founder or a pillar of the mountain. After a long time, let’s talk about it again
It's easy to explain Yamashita's rules.
During this period, Wei Liang, the governor of Qingluan Kingdom, watched with cold eyes, and occasionally made several rules that Li Baozhen himself must abide by.
Liu Qingfeng could clearly see Li Baozhen's plan, from his intentions to his tactics. To put it bluntly, it was either the leftovers from Liu Qingfeng's fun, or it was the leftovers that Liu Qingfeng deliberately left for Li Baozhen.
For example, since this year, several literary celebrities in Qingluan Kingdom have gained notoriety.
How to do it? It's still the same three-point ax that Liu Qingfeng taught Li Baozhen back then. First, praise, describe those people's poems and articles as being worthy of worshiping saints, and brag those people's characters to the altar of moral saints.
Then someone came out and said a few words of approval, and then quietly began to gain momentum, and began to lead the public opinion in the literary world, inducing neutral people to sincerely dislike those few moral saints who actually felt inexplicable to themselves.
In the end, it’s even simpler. Aren’t you saints with flawless morals? Then use random nonsense, arrange it wildly, and criticize those people for their lack of personal ethics. At this time, it is the turn of the world and the market to exert their strength and wander around.
Storytellers from all over the world and bookkeepers of private bookstores began to take turns to fight. Of course, there were also a group of "royal" literati who Li Baozhen had secretly won over. They began to feel sad and speak out. In the end, the common people who were ruined and invisibly contributed to the flames really minded.
Is it the truth? There may be some, but they are destined to be few. Most of them are just watching the excitement? Just like Liu Qingfeng did today, watching the excitement of the bamboo horse from a distance?
Why should we look at the people who are just trying to liven things up and ask them to think too much?
Liu Qingfeng would not.
What's more, there is never any excitement in the world that never ends.
After the hustle and bustle, there is dead silence.
This has always been the case.
Liu Qingfeng smiled and said to himself: "I'm off to a good start."
What's more, Li Baozhen is very smart and can easily draw inferences from one instance to another.
Liu Qingfeng suddenly stopped and said to the young man beside him: "Liu Ming, remember, if one day in the future, no matter who comes to advise you to harm me, whether it is to be a long-term hidden chess piece, or to assassinate in a hurry,
, you just nod your head and agree. Not only do you agree to the other party, you also have to use all your means and do your best without any hesitation or mercy."
The young book boy's face turned pale.
My mind is blank.
I simply don’t understand why my master would say such scary words.
Liu Qingfeng looked as usual and said softly: "Because you will definitely not succeed. By keeping you by my side, I am actually hurting you once, so I must save you once. Don't let you die in vain for the so-called morality. In the meantime
, how much you can learn from me, accumulate connections, and what position you eventually climb to are all your own. As for why I still keep you by my side even though I know this, I just want to know whether you can become
The second Li Baozhen, and even smarter than him, so smart that he ultimately truly benefited the world."
The young scholar's face was filled with tears because he was frightened by this strange master.
Liu Qingfeng asked softly: "Do you remember?"
The young man wiped away his tears and nodded.
Liu Qingfeng smiled and said: "Very good, then from now on, you have to try to forget these things. Otherwise, you will not be able to deceive Li Baozhen."
After a while, Liu Qingfeng was rarely surprised.
Because a young man in white came towards him, but the personal guard sent to him by Dali did not show up from the beginning to the end.
The young man held a paper kite in his hand and smiled brightly, "Liu Qingfeng, I'm carrying a hoe to dig out my own walls. You're not going to get anywhere by following that old bastard. You can hang out with Cui Dongshan from now on."
Besides, what’s mine is mine, and what’s his is mine, so there’s no need to be polite to him. I’m the biggest in the entire south of Aquarius Continent, and the old bastard has nothing to do with it.”
Liu Qingfeng smiled and said: "This is a bit difficult."
Liu Qingfeng can now read through all the confidential information of Lubo Pavilion, so he can roughly guess the other party's hidden identity. Even if it is just the identity on the surface, the other party is actually enough to say these treacherous words.
Cui Dongshan threw the paper kite in his hand to Liu Qingfeng. After Liu Qingfeng caught it, he lowered his head and saw that there was no thread, so he smiled.
Liu Qingfeng raised his head, shook his head and said, "You should know that I, Liu Qingfeng, do not have this ambition. Self-preservation and freedom have never been what we scholars pursue."
Cui Dongshan strode forward, tilted his head, and stretched out his hand: "Then give it back to me."
Liu Qingfeng smiled and said: "Of course it's better if someone gives it to me for free, so I won't accept it back."
Cui Dongshan clicked his tongue and said: "Liu Qingfeng, if you continue to be so interested in me, I will help my husband recruit apprentices for me!"
Liu Qingfeng asked with a smile: "I wonder who Mr. Cui's husband is?"
Cui Dongshan stood there without moving his feet, shrugging his shoulders, very naughty, and said with a smile: "You have seen it before."
Liu Qingfeng thought for a while and said, "I can't guess."
Cui Dongshan laughed loudly and said: "To show my sincerity, I won't sell anything to you. My husband is the same person who caused your oxcart to fall into the water."
Liu Qingfeng was stunned for a long time and asked tentatively: "Chen Pingan?"
Cui Dongshan was also stunned for a moment, and in an instant, he came to Liu Qingfeng, jumped up slightly, and slapped Liu Qingfeng hard on the head. Liu Qingfeng staggered and almost fell down. He just heard the man's anger.
He scolded: “How dare you fucking little brat call me husband by his first name?!”
