Chapter three hundred and eighty third poor outside
During the prince's northern expedition, Lin Ruoxue went to Shifang Goulan in Luzhou.
Amidst Lin Ruoxue's singing, the prince unknowingly completed his promotion.
Is this a coincidence?
Are Lin Ruoxue and Li Shabai related?
…
Late at night, on the Wang'an River, a three-story boat was brightly lit.
On the deck, the beautiful dancer was twisting her waist vigorously. The prince had specially ordered that there would be no elegant music dance today. How vulgar and how to dance!
In the hall, everyone was changing glasses. Qiao Shungang held the wine glass and said to Chu Xin: "General, I didn't know you very well before. Only on the battlefield did I know what our Daxuan's iron-clad son-in-law is. If you don't despise it,
Qiao is so humble, let’s drink this glass of wine!”
"What are you talking about?" Chu Xin laughed and said, "Shun Gang, just call me General in the army, and in private you can call me Brother Chu. To be honest, I used to look down on you lantern bearers, and I especially look down on you.
With your domineering attitude, I thought you would dare to be cruel to your own people.
But when you get to the battlefield, when you see Mao Sha, you are more domineering and your hands are more ruthless. I like your ruthlessness. Needless to say, we will all be brothers from now on, let’s do it!”
Qiao Shungang smiled and said: "Cheer, brothers, let's do it together with Brother Chu!"
Everyone raised their glasses and drank it all!
Chu Xin drank several drinks in a row and became more interested: "Brothers, the game is over and you are not allowed to leave. Let's change places and continue the fun!"
Chu Xin burst into laughter, Qiao Shungang understood the idea and shouted: "Brothers, do it with Brother Chu!"
"You pick the place, and I'll treat you tonight!" Chu Xin looked at the group of lantern holders happily.
Meng Shizhen stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Let's go to the Zhukulong Teahouse!"
Chu Xin curled his lips: "Zhu Skull Tea House in Beiyuan? That place is a bit bad!"
Qiao Shungang shook his head and said: "We don't have much knowledge. Brother Chu, please tell me a good place."
Chu Xin thought for a moment and said, "I can't think of it at the moment. Yu Shan, where do you want to go?"
Yu Shan took a sip of wine and looked at Chu Xin.
This is my uncle.
What does he mean by this?
Test me?
"I've never been to that kind of place."
"Sorry! I won't tell Zihe!" Chu Xin looked at Wu Shanxing and said, "Xiao Wu, do you have a good place?"
Wu Shanxing put down his wine glass and said, "General, there are good places. You have to promise me something."
"What's up?"
"I have to treat you tonight, and I can't let you spend any money."
"You bastard!" Chu Xin said with a smile, "How much money do you have? How can I let you pay for it?"
Wu Shanxing shook his head and said: "General, I have to invite you this time. I owe you this!"
In this Northern Expedition, all the brothers who went on the expedition suffered no losses. The worst thing was that their cultivation level also increased a little.
Among all the people, Wu Shanxing earned the most. He first entered the military path and was promoted from the ninth level to the eighth level, all thanks to Chu Xin's guidance.
"General, without you, I wouldn't be here today!" Wu Shanxing shed tears when he talked about this past.
Chu Xin snorted and said, "Why are you crying? It's all because of your talent. If it were anyone else, you wouldn't be able to teach it. Wipe your tears and quickly tell me about your good qualities!"
Wu Shanxing drank a glass of wine, patted his chest and said, "I will spend all my savings today. Let's go to the best place. I'll invite you to Yinggeyuan."
Wow!
Chu Xin's wine glass fell to the ground.
"Where to go?"
"Yinggeyuan!"
The banquet suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at Wu Shanxing.
Wu Shanxing blinked, looked at Yu Shan and said, "What's wrong? Is Yinggeyuan bad?"
Yu Shan stuffed a piece of mutton into Wu Shanxing's mouth: "There's nothing wrong with it. I don't know if it's good or not. I've never been there. You eat vegetables!"
Seeing the expressions on everyone's face, Wu Shanxing chewed mutton and said vaguely: "What's wrong with Yinggeyuan? Tell me!"
Yu Shan stuffed Wu Shanxing with another chicken drumstick: "They say I've never been there, but you always ask me what I do? You eat vegetables! Let Zhi Qiong talk about this, he always goes to those places."
Xu Zhiqiong said angrily: "Anyway, I've been there before, don't try to ruin my reputation!"
Chu Xin banged the table and went to enjoy the dance on the deck.
Wu Shanxing was dumbfounded, looked at everyone and said, "I, what did I say wrong?"
Xu Zhiqiong lowered his voice and said, "Did you know that there is a group of people in Yinggeyuan called Chu Xin and his ilk?"
Wu Shanxing looked confused: "What are Chu Xin and his ilk?"
"To go to Yinggeyuan, you have to know some elegance. General Chu went there back then..." Xu Zhiqiong whispered a few words in a low voice, and Wu Shanxing immediately exploded.
"General!" Wu Shanxing ran all the way to the deck, "I really don't know, I really don't know..."
…
In addition to the soldiers from the Northern Expedition, the prince also invited two special guests, one was Li Shabai and the other was He Fang.
The prince was able to invite them both here, and Li Shabai was surprised by his magnanimity.
The prince specially toasted Li Shabai with a glass of wine: "In the battle of Huazhou, Painter Li took the greatest credit. He first fought against Nie Xing, then Taotie, and fought bloody battles all the way to Liangfen Garden. He really turned the tide from the fall!"
"Your Highness is very flattering!" Li Shabai held the cup and said, "I am a member of the Xuan Dynasty, and I am the great Xuan Dynasty. Why should I regret this small life! Your Highness lives and dies with the soldiers. He suffered heavy losses, but he still fought without hesitation. Now that I think of it, he is still called Li I am extremely impressed!"
The two raised their glasses and drank it all in one gulp. Qiao Shungang didn't know the deeper meaning of the glass of wine, but he still joked: "I can't just say that Painter Li's contribution is the only one. Miss He risked her life to block the evil magic circle." , the credit is not small.”
The prince laughed and said: "Qiao Qianhu, don't call me Miss He anymore, this is the princess of Daxuan."
Qiao Shungang quickly changed his words: "Look at my memory. Second, what, Elder Shengwei said, you are a princess. I was thinking about it just now, but I forgot it again."
He Fang smiled and held up the wine glass and said: "Brother Qiao, we are old acquaintances. Zhiqiong calls you Brother Qiao, and I also call you Brother Qiao. If you get used to calling me Miss He, just keep calling me Miss He!"
The two of them had a full drink. He Fang raised his glass again and said to the prince: "Your Highness, I also want to toast you. The battle in Liangfen Garden that day is still vivid in my mind when I think of it!"
"Don't call me your highness again," the prince said with a smile, "but I never told you to call me brother!"
He Fang blushed, drank a few glasses of wine, and the two people's awkwardness disappeared.
Taking advantage of the harmonious atmosphere, Xu Zhiqiong whispered to Li Shabai: "I got an ancient painting by chance, and I asked the painter to identify the authenticity for me."
As soon as he heard that he wanted to see paintings, Li Shabai became interested and hurried to the second floor with Xu Zhiqiong.
The second floor was full of guest rooms. Xu Zhiqiong opened one of them and asked Li Shabai to come in. Li Shabai asked: "Where are the ancient paintings? I wonder which famous artist from which dynasty they were painted?"
Xu Zhiqiong said: "The ancient painting is in the Yin and Yang Division and was created by the famous Taibu master of this dynasty."
Li Shabai was startled: "Can Taibu know how to paint?"
"It's hard to talk about painting, I'm afraid I'm going to die soon!" Xu Zhiqiong recounted what happened.
Li Shabai sighed softly and said: "There are differences between twin stars that are born and defeated. I have also noticed it in the past two days. However, I have seen the phenomenon of stars disappearing before. It does not necessarily mean that the stars have fallen. It may also be that the stars have suffered heavy damage.
Just as he was healing, the stars dimmed, so the light disappeared.”
Xu Zhiqiong did know that after Wu Xu was promoted to star official, because he spent most of the time in deep sleep, the starlight of Weiyi Star had been dim. Only on the day of Hanako Festival and when he rescued Xu Zhiqiong last night, there was a brief
's flashing.
"But the dimness can be seen after all, and the twin stars of life and death are now completely invisible."
Li Shabai pondered for a moment and said: "Perhaps the Nemesis Lord was seriously injured, but that day I saw them refining the Taotie outer body and the Blood Nemesis Star. They should have greatly increased their vitality, so how could they be injured?"
Li Shabai also found it puzzling, but in a flash he was relieved: "I'll tell you not to worry about this in the future."
Xu Zhiqiong was stunned: "Painter Li has a way to save Xingjun?"
Li Shabai shook his head and said: "Xingjun has escaped from the mortal world. How can Li, an ordinary person, have such abilities? I just want to help Taifu."
Xu Zhiqiong's eyes lit up: "How can I help?"
"Just help him build another Taoist sect!" Li Shabai said seriously, "Back then, I cultivated the Yin and Yang Tao to the third level, but I was worried that the foundation of the Taoist sect was unstable, so I turned to study the craftsman's method, practiced hard in Mohism, and cultivated the Mohism to the third level.
, borrowing the power of Mohism and Yin and Yang, we created our own way of painting."
Xu Zhiqiong held his forehead and was speechless for a while. This kind of thing is not something that normal humans can do.
Wait, he said he created his own way of painting.
Xu Zhiqiong has always been very curious about Li Shabai's painting skills. At first, he thought that this was a special Taoist sect, one of the heretics, similar to the Yin Yang School and the Mohist School, which were all supported by a star king.
Until today, he didn't know that this door was created by himself.
"You created the Hua Dao by yourself. So, there is no Star Lord in this sect?"
Li Shabai smiled and said: "Not only is there no Star Lord, but there is no rank."
"No level?" Xu Zhiqiong was completely stunned, "Aren't you a third-level cultivator of Painting Taoism?"
Li Shabai smiled and said: "Grade is born above the mortal world. I created the Tao of painting myself. I am the one with the highest cultivation level. I am still in the mortal world. How did the Tao of painting create a grade?"
It turns out that grades did not appear simultaneously with Taoism.
"If the Twin Stars of Life and Death really fall, will the Yin and Yang Dao Sect still exist?"
"The Yin and Yang Dao Sect will not disappear, but the foundation of the Dao Sect will collapse. The so-called collapse means that the boundaries of grades gradually blur, and the cultivation of the Dao Sect becomes chaotic and disorderly.
The masters of each path determine the foundation of the Taoist sect. The masters of the Canglong Domineering Dao, the White Tiger Killing Dao, the Suzaku Born Dao, the Xuanwu Underworld Dao, and the Four Directions Righteous Path are all true gods. They have the strongest foundation and the clearest grade boundaries.
Among the heretics, Confucianism and Taoism are dominated by Xingxu, and the foundation of Taoism is very deep, and the boundaries of grades are also very clear. However, the leaders of Taoism such as Yin-Yang Sect and Mohism are Xingguan, and the foundation of Taoism is relatively shallow, and the boundaries of grades are relatively blurred."
You are right, the grade boundary between the Yin Yang family and the Mohist family is indeed blurred. When Xu Zhiqiong reaches the ninth level of Yin Yang, he can use simple magic circles. But in terms of level skills, the eighth level of Yin Yang is called the transformation of reality and virtuality. Mastering
The technique of blurring the virtual and the real is the true foundation of mastering the magic circle.
When you are at a low level, you can learn some of the skills of a high level. This is a manifestation of the blurred boundaries between levels.
If the master above the mortal world disappears, the grade boundaries will also disappear.
Just like famous people...
wrong!
The grade boundaries of famous masters are still there, Xu Zhiqiong has found the boundary between ninth grade and eighth grade.
This proves that the Tao master of the famous master is still alive, but is in a severely weak state, causing a serious blurring of boundaries.
Xu Zhiqiong was extremely surprised by Li Shabai's knowledge, which reminded him of an important question.
"Painter Li, have you ever seen the true God?"
Li Shabai shook his head and said: "The appearance of the true god is beyond the reach of human eyes. Even if the true god himself is right in front of you, it cannot be discerned by the naked eye.
Fortunately, I have lived long enough, and I have seen the true god's outer body four times, and once I met the Taotie outer body with you. Needless to say, the Taotie outer body is not complete yet, and I can't even take a few glances at it. How do you feel,
At the beginning of the founding of Daxuan, I once saw the appearance of Canglong. During the suppression of his domineering power, I reluctantly raised my head and took only one glance. Its appearance was almost the same as the statue enshrined in Canglong Temple.
Earlier, when Daqian and Daxuan were changing, there was a fierce battle in Nanye, and I caught a glimpse of Yongzhu's outer body. At that time, Yongzhu's outer body was intact. I really wanted to draw his appearance, but I only glanced at him, but I was so frightened that I couldn't remember what he looked like afterwards.
The earliest time was during the previous dynasty, when I had just reached the third level of Yin-Yang Dao cultivation, and during a fierce battle, I saw Qiongqi's outer body."
This is it!
Xu Zhiqiong tried his best to suppress the surprise in his heart, and asked pretending to be indifferent: "What does Qiongqi look like on the outside?"
"I drew it, but I can't say it."
Xu Zhiqiong blinked.
These are several meanings.
I’ve drawn the picture, why can’t I talk about it?
Li Shabai explained: "I don't dare to recall his appearance. I don't even dare to look at the painting I drew by myself. Just one glance or the thought of his appearance will make me full of evil thoughts." .”
So evil?
Xu Zhiqiong said: "Can't you say a word?"
Li Shabai hesitated for a while and said: "If I can only say one thing...she is a stunningly beautiful woman."
