Yanze, a salt-alkali swamp, gives off a desolate flavor from its name. Looking around, in addition to the yellow sand of the desert, there is Populus euphratica in the Gobi Desert. Qi Xuansu meditates and practices Qi during the day, instead of sleeping.
In fact, the life of walking around the world is not easy. The clothes are as white as snow, and the coming and going is like the wind. That is the demeanor that only heavenly people can have. Under this, you have to endure loneliness, suffer from fatigue, and even worse,
You have to worry about your livelihood.
However, loneliness also has its advantages. You can concentrate on doing some things, not to say that you are not distracted, but you are less distracted. Qi Xuansu went all the way north, adjusting his own Qi according to the Sanren Kung Fu every night, meditating on the mind and calming the breath, and the Yuan is still and silent.
Dantian: The breath is moving in the navel, continuous and continuous, hold the navel with both hands, the elixir fire is warm, the six roots are stable, and things are forgotten.
Because of the "Xuan Jade" and the medicinal wine, Qi Xuansu can now clearly feel that there is a strong group of true energy tigers in the lower Dantian Qi sea, and a blood Qi dragon disk in the middle Dantian. His cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds, not to mention that there is only one layer left.
Window paper, but it is also one step closer to the realm of the holy fetus.
Qi Xuansu walked like this for six days and was almost out of the Yanze area.
However, the sky suddenly changed, and a huge sandstorm came unexpectedly. In such weather, Qi Xuansu naturally could not cross the sandstorm, so he had to find a shelter from the wind.
Soon, Qi Xuansu saw a large flag raised high in the distance. In the increasingly fast wind and sand, the flag rustled, and there were four characters written on it: Feilong Inn.
This inn located on the Gobi Desert is very different from the common Taiping inns. The main body is a two-story small building made of loess. There are two courtyards outside the small building, where you can store sundries and horses. It looks like it is 80% safe.
There will be a cellar. After all, the northwest wind and sand are very heavy. If there is a sandstorm that can destroy the house, you can also hide in the cellar for temporary shelter. The flagpole stands in the middle of the inn yard.
Entering the inn, due to the wind and sand, the inn window was very small, so the lobby was extremely dark at this time. Not surprisingly, it was a mom-and-pop shop. The shopkeeper and his wife were standing in the shadow behind the counter, making it difficult to see.
She has an innocent appearance, but the shopkeeper has a thin figure and is wearing a robe that is dangling on her body. However, the shopkeeper’s wife has a plump figure, with bulges in the places that should be bulged and curls in the places that should be bulging, which perfectly interprets the appearance of a mature woman.
Romantic.
The shopkeeper looked at Qi Xuansu, his eyes focused.
Having been able to run an inn here for many years, he is certainly not an ordinary innkeeper. He is proficient in some aura-seeing techniques, and he can tell at a glance that this young man has murderous intent.
If a person has too many blood debts on his hands, murderous intent will naturally form in his body.
It is said that ghosts are afraid of butchers. It is precisely because butchers have been working for many years and are stained with blood and have murderous auras on their bodies. Ordinary ghosts cannot get close to them.
Like him, even evil spirits with Taoism would not dare to get close easily. This is why evil ghosts are afraid of evil people. However, this person's murderous aura is quite restrained. It is just a little bit of red light, and it is difficult to distinguish its depth.
From this point of view, this young man is by no means the kind of person who is entering the world for the first time, but an old man.
At this time, the shopkeeper's wife had already come out from behind the counter and said, "Is your guest staying in the hotel?"
Only then did Qi Xuansu notice that there was already a group of guests in the inn, but they were just sitting in the shadows in the corner. In addition, it was dark outside and there was no lamp, so it was easy for people to ignore them.
This group of people wore black veils on their heads, brocade robes, black-faced and white-soled official boots, and carried swords at all times.
It is Qingluan Guard.
There were more than twenty Qingluan Guards in total, divided into three tables. The leader was a white-haired old man, sitting at a table alone, wearing a green narrow-sleeved long-breasted brocade dress, a bronze Luan head buckled around his waist, and black-faced and white-soled official boots.
There is a knife hanging on the waist. The blade is about three feet and the handle is about six inches. Although it is wrapped in a scabbard, it can be seen that the spine of the knife is straight, and only the blade is slightly curved.
Standard Qingluan Guard outfit.
When Qi Xuansu looked at the group of Qingluan Guards, the white-haired old man leading the group also looked at Qi Xuansu and asked softly: "Are you from the Taoist sect?"
Qi Xuansu knew that it was the Yujing style of his robes that made people see the truth. However, all his changes of clothes were at Zhang Yuelu's and he had no choice but to change them. He could only say vaguely: "I can't tell you, but I hope you can forgive me."
The white-haired old man was thoughtful and did not ask further.
Qi Xuansu looked at the shopkeeper's wife and said: "For one guest room, half a catty of wine, good Fenjiu, don't mix it with water. If there is beef, you can have half a catty of cooked beef. If not, mutton is fine."
The shopkeeper's wife said, "Don't worry, sir. Although our shop is small, we are honest businessmen. We will never do anything immoral like mixing wine with water."
While talking, the shopkeeper's wife quickly took out half a catty of wine from the large wine jar behind the counter and filled it with a tin wine jug. The shopkeeper then turned around and went to the kitchen.
Qi Xuansu took the jug and asked, "How much is the total?"
"Accommodation is seventy ruyiqian, wine is 42 ruyiqian, beef is 65 ruyiqian, erase the fraction, and the guest can give 180 ruyiqian." The shopkeeper's wife has already calculated.
Settled the account.
Qi Xuansu is at the counter
Put down two small circles: "Let's round up the whole number, there is no need to look for it."
The shopkeeper's wife did not refuse, she put away the two small rounds worth two hundred Ruyi coins and thanked her profusely.
Qi Xuansu was not in a hurry to go upstairs to rest, and planned to wait until the beef was ready before going upstairs.
Not long after, the door of the inn was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and turbulent wind and sand rolled into the lobby.
Then, a group of people slowly walked into the inn in the wind and sand.
This group of people is very strange. There are Confucian scholars, Taoists, monks, and a few women dressed as laymen. They are neither fish nor fowl.
The white-haired old man's pupils suddenly shrank.
The visitor is from the "Heavenly Court".
The so-called "Heavenly Court" is different from the "Heavenly Court" in the Taoist Gate, and the word "Ting" from the Western "Holy Court" is adopted.
If Tianting is regarded as a person, it can be said to be the first-class delusion in the world. He is known as Taoism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Shamanism, Holy Court, and the five ways are integrated into one. He claims to be the leader of Confucianism in the past dynasties, and the leader of Taoism has not achieved it.
The three religions were integrated into one, and they also added Shamanism from the grassland and the Holy Temple from the West.
However, unlike Ziguang Society, Zhiming Sect, and Lingshan Witch Cult, the "Tianting" does not require flesh and blood or living souls other than incense and vows. It only wants real money and silver, and it makes money wantonly, defrauding hundreds of thousands of people.
Under such circumstances, it was mainly up to the imperial court to eradicate such cults that were causing harm to the country and the people. In response and retaliation, the "Heavenly Court" also made some uprisings, but most of them were ineffective and vulnerable to the men in black.
Therefore, the relationship between Qingluan Guard and "Heavenly Court" can be described as incompatible.
The Taoist sect also has a strong dislike for the "Heavenly Court" who tampered with the Taoist sect's gods at will.
In the Tao sect system, the highest one is Tai Shang Dao Ancestor, which can be seen from the word "Tai Shang" alone. The others, such as the Emperor of Heaven and so on, are still under the Tao Ancestor. However, the "Tian Ting" does the opposite.
, imitating the human court, a so-called "divine court" was formed. In the divine court, the Jade Emperor is the head, corresponding to the emperor, and other immortals and Buddhas are ministers and must obey the Jade Emperor's will, including even Taishang Daozu and Buddha.
.Other families were not spared, and the gods they worshiped were also included.
Underneath this are all kinds of gods.
The Qingping Association is code-named after Cipai, while "Tianting" is code-named after the names of various gods, such as "Thunder Eye", "Shunfeng Er", "Golden Boy", "Jade Girl", or "Thunder God", "
That's all. The "Tianting" also imitated the three deputy masters of Taoism and established the so-called three official emperors, namely "Tianguan", "Diguan" and "Shuiguan".
As we all know, there are three major festivals in Taoism, namely the Shangyuan Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month, the birthday of the Heavenly Official; the Zhongyuan Festival, the 15th day of the seventh lunar month, the birthday of the Earthly Official; and the Xianyuan Festival, the birthday of the Shuiguan on the 15th October. These three days are dedicated to worshiping heaven.
On the day of the wedding ceremony, both the great masters and the real ones must fast, bathe, and pray to heaven, which is very solemn. The "Heavenly Court" simply created an incarnation of the emperor of the three officials. Not to mention his arrogance, his arrogance is unmatched by anyone.
.
This is also the reason why "Heavenly Court" generally does not dare to provoke Taoist sects, because there are four great heavenly masters, four great marshals, four great dragon gods, four directions gods, five Dou Xingjun, etc. in "Heavenly Court". There are few who do not offend Taoist sects.
What is taboo is that if the incarnation of the so-called "Emperor of the Three Officials" meets the Da Zhenren, the deputy headmaster of the Taoist sect, he would have to die if he could live.
As for why the Taoist sect did not take action against him, it was partly because the "Heavenly Court" knew what he was interested in. The main focus of the Taoist sect was still on the ancient immortals and internal fighting.
Of course, Buddhism is not immune. For example, the Five Directions, the Four Heavenly Kings, and the Eighteen Jialan are all arranged.
However, the background of the visitor this time is not that scary, just a relatively inconspicuous "Six Ding Liujia".
The so-called "Liu Ding Liu Jia", Liu Ding is the yin god and jade girl: Ding Mao god, Ding Yi god, Ding Wei god, Ding You god, Ding Hai god, Ding Chou god. Liu Jia is the yang god and jade man: Jiazi god, Jiaxu god,
Jiashen God, Jiawu God, Jiachen God, Jiayin God.
The visitor this time was none other than the "Jiashen God". His eyes scanned the small inn, paused briefly on Qi Xuansu, and finally rested on the white-haired old man.
The white-haired old man sat still, minding his own drinking.
"Jiashen God" spoke slowly, with a hoarse voice: "I actually encountered a bunch of Eagle Claw Suns. I should really throw you all outside to eat sand."
The white-haired old man said lightly: "What a loud tone."
"Jiashen God" narrowed his eyes and looked at the white-haired old man, and said in a bad tone: "Please repay me."
"I don't speak slander, I am Qingluan Guard Baihu, Sui Fan." The white-haired old man put down the wine glass in his hand and said in a deep voice.
In an instant, all the Qingluan guards held down their sword handles or fire guns.
The people behind "Jiashen God" were not to be outdone. They had swords, guns, swords and halberds, whisks, wooden fish, walking sticks and firearms, and eighteen kinds of weapons.
On the verge of breaking out.
Qi Xuansu had no intention of wading into the muddy water, so he stepped aside and took a sip of wine.
