Evernight Kingdom Chapter two hundred and sixty-six brothers and sisters chatting and drinking under the moon, the old man in Taoism came into the night
Chapter two hundred and sixty-six brothers and sisters chatting and drinking under the moon, the old man in Taoism came into the night
When Jiang Yao heard Mo Shu say that he could refine talismans, he felt happy and pretended to be careless and said: "So, your talent in Talisman Dao is pretty good?"
What Mo Shu said next made Jiang Yao a little surprised. What surprised him was not that the other party admitted that he was a Fu Spirit Body, but that he was surprised by the other party's honesty:
"Returning to Taifu..." After Mo Shu said this, he suddenly looked at Jiang Xiucheng.
Jiang Yao smiled and said: "She is my sister, you just say it doesn't matter."
"Yes." Mo Shu no longer hesitated, "I have been able to master the art of refining talismans since I was a child. My parents knew that I must have a high talent for talismans, but they were afraid that I would be captured and kept it a secret."
"Later, I accidentally met a second-class great talisman master who accepted me as his apprentice. The master taught me for three years, and I became a second-class great talisman master."
"Three years later, I surpassed my master and became a first-class talisman master. My master was very happy. He said he had never seen anyone with such great talent in talismans."
"After consulting ancient books, Master speculated on what kind of talisman I am. On the one hand, he concealed this matter, and on the other hand, he secretly went to the Central Realm Taoist Temple."
When Jiang Yao heard this, he sighed secretly in his heart, as if he could guess what happened next.
Mo Shu continued: "Master wants to meet the Taoist master of Fu Dao Shrine and tell him that I may be a Fu spirit body. Then, let me join Fu Dao Shrine as a Daoist or a Danzi. Even if I can't become one, I can still
Becoming a direct disciple of the Tao Master will have a bright future."
"I didn't know at the time that Master would take risks in the Central Region for me."
"But five years ago, Master suddenly sent me a message telling me that someone else was in the Fu Dao Shrine in the Central Region. He made a mistake and offended Dao Zi Huaji from the Medicine Dao Shrine."
"Since then, I can no longer contact the master. His soul lamp has also been extinguished."
When Mo Shu said this, he broke down in tears.
"I guess it was Huaji who killed Master in order to prevent him from seeing the Taoist Master of Fu Palace. She was afraid that if the Taoist Master learned of my existence, his position as Taoist Master would be in danger."
Hearing this, Jiang Yao also sighed sympathetically, "You guessed it right. I heard that Huaji from Fudao Shrine is not an easy person. Your master must have been poisoned by her. I guess she must have sent someone to go there."
The Western Region will kill you."
Mo Shu nodded, "So, when I learned about Master's death, I moved immediately. Later, I went back secretly, and sure enough I found traces of the killer's visit."
"In order to meet the master of the Fu Dao Shrine and seek an explanation for my master, I refined the talisman for five years and broke through to the Fu God. I finally saved up enough money for the boat ticket and prepared to take a long-distance voyage to the Central Realm Fu Dao.
Shrine, I can’t let go of my master-killing enemy.”
"But who would have known that I would be caught by those beasts from the Shanhe Society and force me to be a real Ji. I told the poster that I was a Talisman God and I could refine Talisman for them, as long as I don't sell myself."
"But these beasts don't believe it and insist on forcing me to accept guests. If Taifu hadn't saved me, I can't even imagine what would happen to me."
When Jiang Yao and Jiang Xiucheng heard about Mo Shu's experience, they couldn't help but feel sympathy and respect.
In order to seek justice for her master, a girl with martial arts cultivation dared to go to the distant middle region alone to meet the aloof Taoist Master of Fu Palace.
From Jiang Yao's point of view, this was simply a folk girl going to Beijing to file a petition against the emperor.
Such a woman is obviously a sweet-tempered person who values love and justice.
This girl can be of great use!
Jiang Yao gave Mo Shu a look of relief: "Mo Shu, with your current strength, going to the Central Region is simply asking for death. Whether it is a talisman master or a pharmacist, if you lack the ability to protect yourself, you will inevitably be controlled by others and put under house arrest.
Get up and take advantage.”
"I will help you pay attention to your master's affairs. But you should not go to the Fudao Shrine in the Central Region again. Huaji is a Taoist, and her power is far beyond your imagination. It is too easy to kill you."
Mo Shu nodded and said: "Teacher is right. I have figured it out now. I am not in a hurry. If I take revenge, it will not be too late for a hundred years until I have the strength and opportunity to take revenge."
Jiang Yao was very pleased to hear her words, and he admired Mo Mu even more: "You are not only a talisman god, but also a talisman spirit body. Of course I will not treat you badly."
"Let's do this. Don't stay in Jiangdong anymore. I'll send someone to take you to the Qing clan capital."
As Jiang Yao spoke, he took out a roll of jade slips and wrote:
"Positions are based on ability and merit. The music master Mo Shu is specially appointed as the Shaoqing of Fudao Temple, with a rank of fourth rank, and the Shaoqing will act as the minister of the temple... This order."
Then, stamp the seal of the regent.
As soon as he came up, he was given the official position of Shaoqing of Fudao Temple, the fourth rank!
The ministers and ministers in the imperial court were all officials who assisted Jiang Yao in his reform, and were selected by Jiang Yao himself. They were all considered ministers with meritorious service.
However, Mo Shu was not from the Qing Clan and had no merit for the Qing Clan, yet he was able to take charge of the crucial Fudao Temple. This shows that Jiang Yao attaches great importance to talents and is really a meritocracy.
Originally, Jiang Yao wanted to make her the minister of Fu Dao Temple directly, but after all, the position was vacant. But he had to give her a room for advancement, so he simply used the official position of Shaoqing to act as the minister of the temple.
"From today on, you are the young minister of Daqing Fu Dao Temple. Mo Qing, when you build Fu Dao Temple, you will be the minister of the temple."
"You want to turn Daqing Fudao Temple into the second Fudao Shrine! At that time, you must let Fudao Shrine know that there is another Fudao Temple in the world!"
Mo Shu looked stunned. She never expected that Jiang Yao would grant her the power of Fu Dao Temple.
As a native of the Qiunan area, she certainly knows the Jiangyao Reform better than people in other areas. The Jiangyao Reform has been going on for several years, and many officials and institutions have heard about it, as well as people around her.
Fu Dao Temple is an institution that specializes in managing Talisman masters, studying Talisman Dao, and refining Talisman talismans.
"Thank you, Taifu, for your trust..." Mo Shu took the appointment document and felt a little confused.
She will now become the Shaoqing of Fudao Temple in the Reform Court? A fourth-rank official?
Mo Shu has always envied the Qing Clan people who could stand up under the reform. However, she never expected that she herself would become an official of the reform court.
Mo Shu couldn't help but get excited.
She would rather be the minister of Fu Dao Temple in the reform court than the Taoist disciple of Fu Dao Shrine.
Jiang Yao smiled and said: "Your parents and family can all go to the Qing clan, and the court will arrange a cave for you. The salary of the fourth grade is enough for your family to practice without any worries..."
Mo Shu was stunned again. She could not have imagined that once she became a court official, there would be so many benefits.
Then who doesn’t want to be an official?
"Not only did Taifu save me, but he also showed such kindness and care. I can't repay him in return..." Mo Shu was actually very good at talking. "Don't worry, Taifu, I don't know how to do anything else. I will definitely make a difference in this talisman path."
Jiang Yao was very satisfied with Mo Shu's attitude, "You are a Fu Spirit body, so I can rest assured in the Fu Dao. But managing Fu Dao Temple requires not only Fu Dao talent. Your martial arts cultivation level is only that of Martial Master, and you also need to work hard to practice martial arts."
"Insufficient martial arts cultivation not only restricts your ability to refine talismans, but also weakens your authority and makes you unable to control other talisman masters."
"Yes. My martial arts qualifications are second-level, and I can break through to the martial arts within three years." Mo Shu said. She is still confident in martial arts, and her martial arts qualifications are also excellent.
Jiang Yao finally warned: "The Fuling Body is of great importance. The reason why you told me is because I saved your life. But others must keep their mouths shut to avoid attracting the attention of interested people."
Mo Shu nodded with some emotion and said, "Mo Shu will definitely bear in mind the words of the Grand Tutor."
………
"Brother, why is your hair so gray?"
After Mo Shu left, Jiang Xiucheng looked at the silver thread on Jiang Yao's temples and couldn't help but asked with a little distress.
My brother has just turned thirty, why does he have gray hair?
Jiang Yao didn't explain too much, "The battle with the enemy before burned the essence, blood and vitality, and damaged the vitality. Don't worry, it will be fine in a few days."
Jiang Yao knew in his heart that this was not an ordinary loss of vitality. The vitality lost by the Heavenly Death Jue Gong would be difficult to make up in a short period of time.
Jiang Xiucheng sat down in front of his brother and poured Jiang Yao a cup of tea.
"Brother, you have suffered a lot these past two years. I am always worried about your safety in Mu clan. I know that I have been working hard to restore the Jiang family."
"I wrongly blamed my brother before. I mistakenly thought that he was indifferent to his parents' hatred and the survival of the Jiang family. I thought that he was selfish and cowardly and unworthy of being the legitimate son of the Jiang family."
"But in the past two years, I realized that I was wrong. My brother has been working hard secretly. However, I am worried that something will happen to him. I would rather my brother not have to bear this burden anymore."
My brother was forced to reform under the pressure of the ancient Li Xixia, which made him an enemy of the martial arts family all over the world. How many people wanted him to die?
How could the Jiang family's enemies not deal with him once they knew about his brother?
Thinking of this, Jiang Xiucheng felt worried.
Jiang Xiucheng took Jiang Yao's hand and said, "You and I, brother and sister, depend on each other for life. If you take any risks again in the future, you must think of me."
Although she was pleasantly surprised by Jiang Yao's abilities and methods, she never expected that her brother would take back his hometown without saying a word and do such a big thing, but she was also a little scared of Jiang Yao's adventure.
She only has one brother, and if his brother has any shortcomings, she will really be an orphan.
Jiang Yao picked up the tea poured by her sister and drank it in one gulp, as if drinking. Then she looked into Jiang Xiucheng's eyes:
"Xiucheng, I have to do many things. This is not only for the Jiang family, for family feud, but also for protection."
"You are my weakness, and I am your sister. So, don't leave Mu clan easily in the future."
Jiang Yao's hand moved in front of her chest habitually, "To tell you the truth, I have found out who the enemy is."
Jiang Xiucheng trembled and asked in a trembling voice: "Who is the enemy?!"
Jiang Yao smiled bitterly: "Sister, I can't tell you, lest you accidentally let it slip. I can only tell you that the enemy is very powerful, more powerful than you imagine, and there is more than one power."
"Even my uncle can't do anything. Sister, when you reach the level of martial arts, I will tell you who your enemy is."
Of course Jiang Xiucheng knew her brother's painstaking efforts. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes.
After a while, this beautiful girl with a sharp head opened her eyes like cold stars and said decisively:
"Brother, since I ate the Nether Lotus Root you gave me, my qualifications have been upgraded to Taoist Body. Within three years, I must break through to Wuzhen. Of course, even if you told me who the enemy was at that time, I would not
impulse."
"Okay." Jiang Yao touched his sister's head, stood up and looked at the moon in the sky, and said:
"I don't have the ability to protect you right now. Until I don't have enough strength, you just stay in Mu clan. Jiang doesn't need you to do anything now, as long as you don't distract me."
Jiang Xiucheng felt the warmth of being cared for by his brother, but he was also a little unconvinced, "Brother, am I so useless? After all, I have been working in the tomb cultivator for many years, and I am not a spoiled little lady who looks after useless little ladies."
Jiang Yao smiled and said, "My sister is a hero among women, and of course she is not a flower in the hothouse. But, I am only your sister, and my brother and sister have been separated all these years. How can I bear to let you wander around the world again?"
Jiang Xiucheng's stubborn look melted away immediately, and she nodded obediently, "Okay, I will stay in Mu Clan until my brother becomes stronger. I will definitely practice hard and be able to help my brother as soon as possible and not become a burden to him."
Jiang Yao suddenly asked: "What you said reminds me of something. The master of Onizuka Sect is very mysterious. Do you know his origin?"
On Jiangling Island in Jiangshui, he snatched the Shennong ocher whip that the Onizuka sect master was about to get. At that time, the Onizuka sect master was wearing a mask and looked very mysterious.
Jiang Xiucheng shook his head, "Although he is the sect leader, he has always been mysterious and sneaky. A middle-level tomb cultivator like me has no chance to see his true face. The sect leader is very knowledgeable, especially in the study of ancient secrets and Feng Shui prophecies.
, very impressive.”
"His cultivation level is also very high, and he is a powerful person who has reached the perfection of martial arts. This person must have a public identity, and he is from the Western Region. As for who he is, we don't know."
"We tomb cultivators only know that the sect leader is definitely one of the most knowledgeable people in China's ancient affairs."
China has no history, and of course there is no archeology.
But it doesn’t mean that there are no people doing archeology at all. It’s just that the way of saying it is different and it’s not that professional. In China, ancient history is called ancient affairs. However, few people care about ancient affairs.
Jiang Yao couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
There are many powerful people in the Western Region who have reached the perfection of martial arts. Who could they be?
He was very interested in the Onizuka clan leader, a very knowledgeable "historian".
Jiang Yao knew very little about the ancient history of the real world. Until now, she only knew that the powerful dynasty in ancient times was the Li Tang Dynasty. Before the Tang Dynasty, it was the Yang Sui Dynasty established by the demon clan Yang.
As for the history of Yang Sui, Li Tang, and the history of hundreds of thousands of years, he didn't know.
All that can be determined is that the Li and Tang dynasties were once very powerful, with a high level of social governance and civilization, and were a unified, centralized feudal dynasty.
It is a celestial dynasty, a fairy dynasty-like existence.
So, does Onizuka Sect Master, an extremely knowledgeable "historian", know the history of Li Tang and Yang Sui? Does he know the history before Yang Sui?
Does he have any relevant books or clues? Does he have any high-value historical relics?
Jiang Yao wants to know these.
Unfortunately, it is very difficult to find this mysterious Onizuka sect master.
The brother and sister talked for a while, and Jiang Xiucheng suddenly proposed that she wanted to go back to Jiangshui to visit, especially the islands where Shennong Tiancheng and Jiangling were located.
"No!" Jiang Yao refused without even thinking, "If I don't return to Jiang Shui for one day, you can't return to Jiang Shui! You must get my permission to go to Jiang Shui."
Jiang Xiucheng frowned, "Brother, what you mean is that Jiang Shui still has our enemy hidden?"
She was originally a very smart person.
Jiang Yao's eyes flashed with sternness, "Yes, they are a group of ghosts, known as the Nine Ghosts of Jiang Shui. The most powerful one is a ghost saint. They have hundreds of thousands of ghost soldiers under their command, wreaking havoc in Jiang Shui.
, very powerful.”
Jiang Xiucheng's pretty face turned cold. She never expected that Jiang Shui would be occupied by a group of ghosts.
She didn't know how her brother knew the news, but she had no doubt about what he said.
Unless my uncle takes action personally or an army of hundreds of thousands marches to exterminate such a powerful ghost, it is really impossible to get rid of it.
"Okay, I won't go." Jiang Xiucheng gritted his teeth, "Our enemies are really powerful, and they can actually control so many ghosts. It seems that they are not a super power in Shenzhou."
Jiang Yao nodded, "You are right."
Jiang Xiucheng suddenly showed a bitter smile, "Brother, our enemies are not the three murderers, are they?"
Jiang Yao looked at his sister and sighed.
"Sister, what should I say? I can only say that you are very smart."
Jiang Xiucheng was silent for a long time, and then sighed.
She had imagined how powerful her enemy was, but she never imagined that he would be so powerful.
How to take revenge?
Jiang Yao has not hinted at the existence of another group of enemies. If my sister knew that the owner of the Heavenly Death Jue Gong was one of this group of enemies, she would definitely feel even more powerless.
"I'm going back to the cave to rest."
Jiang Xiucheng left unhappy, leaving Dui Yue drinking Jiang Yao alone.
Jiang Yao shook his feather fan, sat there for a long time, and said to himself in front of his own shadow: "The late emperor was not halfway through his business, but the middle road collapsed. Today, Yizhou is exhausted, and this is the autumn when the survival of the sincerity is in danger."
…”
"I am a commoner, working hard in Nanyang, surviving in troubled times, not seeking to be heard by the princes... I was appointed when the army was defeated, and I was ordered to be in danger, and now I am twenty-one years old!"
After Jiang Yao finished reciting "Shi Shi Biao" alone, he was filled with thoughts and his eyes were slightly moist. He poured a glass of wine and drank it in one gulp.
The evening breeze is like drunkenness, and the night is lovely. The young man under the moonlight, with a heart as fierce as a tiger, is sniffing the roses.
An indescribable loneliness, like the starry sky, shrouding the infinite.
Jiang Yao poured another glass of wine and recited a poem by King Sima Xuan, "Conquest of Liaodong":
"The sky and the earth are opened up, the sun and the moon are shining brightly... Thousands of miles have been purged, and the eight wastelands have been unified. After the completion of the ceremony, we will return to old age and wait for our sins to dance in the sun."
After chanting, he raised his head and looked at the moon and said: "I have been practicing for ten years. I have sharpened my sword for ten years, but I have never tried the frost blade. Today I will show you to you, who will have any injustice?"
Jiang Yao drank several glasses of high-grade spirit wine and couldn't help but feel drunk and hazy.
There are still a few years left, if he cannot become the Medicine Saint and the Poison Saint, he will die.
In Li Xixia's words, the medicinal spirit body is the most special spirit body and has its own disasters.
He is now in the early stage of the Medicine Immortal. If he wants to become the Medicine Saint and the Poison Saint in a few years, he can only collect the "Shen Nong's Pharmacopoeia".
Does he still have time?
If he didn't have time to cultivate to the level of Medicine Saint and Poison Saint, he would only have a few years to live.
Willingness is even harder to count on.
Jiang Yao's heart has been weighed heavily by this stone, making it difficult to truly relax.
"Drinking alone under the moonlight, you are so happy." Suddenly a faint voice came.
Jiang Yao's body trembled, and his hair stood on end for an instant.
Suddenly, an old man appeared in front of me.
This old man was wearing an extremely rare Taoist robe.
Since Jiang Yao came to the real world, this was the second time he saw someone wearing Taoist robes.
The first time was on the remains of Lao Tao in Fanshan Mountain.
The second time is now.
Moreover, the old man in Taoist robes who suddenly appeared had no trace of the vitality of a living person, but carried a gloomy ghostly aura.
However, this ghostly aura is very light, as light as the breeze hidden in the moonlight.
How could the young man not understand that the visitor was a powerful ghost?
Jiang Yao tried his best to stay calm and said calmly: "If this Lord Ghost Saint is interested, how about having a drink with me?"
The old ghost in Taoist robes smiled sadly.
Under the moonlight, his smile didn't look eerie and weird. At first glance, he looked like an old man.
But I don't know why, but it just makes people feel a kind of indescribable horror and desolation.
"good."
The Taoist-robed ghost sat down opposite Jiang Yao.
The entire tower suddenly became filled with a ghostly atmosphere.
