Reaching to the Sky

Chapter 132: Head all the way west

Views:

Suzhou is located in the southwest of the Eastern Wei Dynasty. In a few days, the two of them entered the territory of the Western Wei Dynasty. There was no prohibition on alcohol here, so Nanfeng invited the fat man to drink.

Seeing Nanfeng holding the wine glass thoughtfully, the fat man asked doubtfully, "If you don't drink, what are you thinking about?"

"The skill you want to learn is still one step away. What I'm teaching is Sanskrit. I have to find a monk who knows Sanskrit to translate it." Nanfeng said.

"It's simple. I know where there are monks who can speak Sanskrit. There is Jiming Temple five hundred miles to the west. Go there." Fatty said. Before hearing about the Eight-part Golden Body, he and Nanfeng had been asking where there was a temple that could He also went to some temples to learn kung fu. Although he didn't learn kung fu, he knew which temples had monks who could speak Sanskrit.

Nanfeng nodded and drank from the cup.

The fat man didn't know how much money Nanfeng still had, so he didn't dare to eat more. Nanfeng saw that he was not eating well, so he sold another pot. He found a lot of silver from the dwarf, including dozens of taels. There are still more than a dozen taels of silver, one tael of gold and ten taels of silver. At this time, it only costs one copper coin to buy a sesame seed cake, and only three cents of silver to have a drink.

There were other diners in the inn, and they were all talking about Yan Feixue leading a crowd to embarrass Li Chaozong. This place was located at the southern end of the Western Wei Dynasty, and there was no news. Everyone only knew that Yan Feixue was here. As for how many people Yan Feixue had brought with him. , neither side knows whether there is a war or not. They are chatting and talking, and there is nothing to listen to.

Nanfeng didn't need to know the specific battle situation between Yan Feixue and Li Chaozong. He only needed to know that Yan Feixue was coming. As long as Yan Feixue came to the Western Wei Dynasty, Li Chaozong had no intention of making things difficult for him.

In the past few years, he had been in the limelight, like a fallen leaf in the huge waves. Now he finally escaped from the whirlpool. Next, he would find a safe and secluded place to practice with the fat man.

It has been almost three years since he left the Taiqing Sect, and the agreed period will be in nine more years. However, he only has high-level cultivation at the moment, and his Qi training is so slow. I am afraid it will be difficult to advance to Jushan within nine years. No, he has to be in Within six years, Jin Shenjushan could not compete with the masters of Taiqing Sect. If he wanted to succeed immediately, he must place his hope in the Tortoise Shell Heavenly Book.

Being promoted to Jushan only meets the conditions for searching for the Turtle Shell Heavenly Book. He still has to stay for three years to search for and refine the Turtle Shell Heavenly Book. Let’s not talk about whether he can find and use the Turtle Shell Heavenly Book in three years to deduce the overbearing spells. Just talk about Jushan. Shan, not to mention that his qualifications are so poor, even a highly talented cultivation wizard cannot advance from Gaoxuan to Shanju within six years.

"Alas." Thinking of this, Nanfeng sighed, "Time does not wait for us."

"What are you in a hurry for?" the fat man asked.

"Eat quickly and get on your way early after eating." Nanfeng said

Money is a vulgar thing, but if you have this vulgar thing, you are a wanderer. If you don't have this vulgar thing, you are a wanderer. You stay in a high-end hotel, spend the night at dawn, and after seven days, you arrive near the Jiming Temple that the fat man said.

Nanfeng has not been idle these days. At night, he copied the full text of the eight golden bodies again, numbered each word, shuffled the order and divided it into three parts. The fat man took one copy and went to Jiming Temple to find someone to translate it.

Most of the Buddhist scriptures are in Sanskrit. If a monk wants to recite scriptures, he must know Sanskrit. The fat man got back the translation smoothly.

For safety reasons, Nanfeng did not let him take a second copy. Instead, he left Jiming Temple and continued westward, looking for other temples along the way.

On the seventh day again, the two came to the main north-south road of the Western Wei Dynasty. It was this road that the fat man rushed to the river. He also went south alone from this road to the Liang Kingdom, and that was already three years ago. Something happened.

At this time, the grudge between Yan Feixue and Li Chaozong was still the most talked about thing. I heard from warriors along the way that Yan Feixue led dozens of purple energy masters from the Shangqing Dynasty to surround Ziguang Pavilion, but both sides However, they did not go shopping again. At the critical moment, the Western Wei Dynasty invited Yu Qingzong to mediate. Outsiders did not know how the mediation was carried out. They only knew that Yan Feixue withdrew his troops, but before leaving, he moved a large mountain and moved the Ziguang Pavilion. The mountain gate is sealed.

Yuqingzong had a feud with Li Chaozong, so it stands to reason that he would not help Li Chaozong. However, if you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to understand. Li Chaozong's cousin Li Shangqin was the great Sima of the Western Wei Dynasty, and he was worth less than ten thousand people. Li Chaozong may have invited Li Shangqin to talk to the emperor, and then the emperor would talk to Yu Qingzong.

Long Yunzi, the leader of the Yuqing Sect, was the real protector of the country in the Western Wei Dynasty. He could not help but give the emperor's face. There is another possibility, that is, Long Yunzi had a good relationship with Li Shangqin, and Li Shangqin might have asked him directly.

Long Yunzi had lost to Li Chaozong before, so he naturally hated Li Chaozong deeply in his heart. However, this man was very deep in the city. This was evident from the fact that he had previously instructed Yan Yinzi to cut off his fingers to protect his position as the disciple. Long Yunzi now There may be three reasons why he helped Li Chaozong in turn. First, he had to give Li Shangqin or the emperor some face. Second, he could show his magnanimity regardless of past grudges by helping Li Shangqin. Third, although the Shangqing Sect He and the Yuqing Sect are both authentic Taoist sects, but the relationship between the two parties is not very close. The Yuqing Sect has never looked down on the Shangqing Sect. This time, the Shangqing Sect went to the Yuqing Sect's territory to seek revenge, which somewhat means that he is mainly against the guests. , Long Yunzi must not be happy. By persuading Yan Feixue and others to retreat, he can maintain the majesty of the Yuqing Sect and show his magnanimity. At the same time, he can also make the emperor or Li Shangqin owe him a huge favor.

After thinking about it carefully, the biggest beneficiary of this incident was the Yuqing Sect. Li Chaozong failed to suppress the Shangqing Sect with all his strength, but was blocked. This matter damaged his reputation. However, Yan Feixue mobilized troops and rushed to the Western Wei Dynasty, but failed to destroy Ziguang Pavilion. Many elites of her sect were killed in the previous battle. She was also a loser. Before leaving, she moved a mountain to block the entrance of Ziguang Pavilion. This was a demonstration. The implication is that I should be more honest, if you dare to jump around again, I will kill you all over the house. But at the same time, you can also see the frustration in her heart. She had the ability to take revenge but failed to do so. She must be angry if she went all the way in vain.

As the saying goes, nothing is too big a deal for those who are watching the excitement. The ordinary warriors and common people were eager to beat Li Chaozong and Yan Feixue to a bloody head, but in the end the two sides failed to fight. As a result, there was no excitement to watch, and they felt unhappy. Then he started scolding Li Chaozong for being incompetent. He didn't even dare to fart when someone blocked the door. He also scolded Yan Feixue, saying that so many people had died, that she came in an aggressive manner, but in the end left in despair.

Different from everyone's idea of just watching the fun, Nanfeng discovered through this incident that the relationship between the three kingdoms is very complicated, and the relationship between the three sects is also very subtle. The Western Wei, the Eastern Wei, and the Liang Kingdom are all hostile to each other, and The three sects of Yuqing, Taiqing, and Shangqing are closely related, and they are the national religions of the Three Kingdoms. Their leaders are all the national protectors of each country. The protectors of the country are first-class officials who participate in state affairs. As protectors, The real people of the country naturally hope that their country can unify the world. If the Western Wei Dynasty unifies the world, the Yuqing Sect will overpower the Shangqing and Taiqing, and one family will be the only one. From now on, the world will be the Yuqing world, and vice versa.

It can be seen that although the three sects are connected by the same spirit, they do not have a deep friendship with each other. To put it bluntly, they are just at odds with each other.

Leaving the three sects aside, let's talk about Li Chaozong. This old guy was blocked and lost his authority. He must be sulking right now and must have no time to be distracted by such a trivial matter.

Li Chaozong was also a wealthy man. He first defeated the prestige of the Yuqing Sect in his country, and then went to the Eastern Wei Dynasty to cause trouble for the Qingzong. Why did this old guy do this? It is said that people become better with age. The bigger you are, the more purposeful you are in doing things. Li Chaozong will not make enemies just for the sake of fame. He must have a deeper intention in doing so.

Furthermore, when Lin Zhendong asked Tian Yuanzi for the Taixuan Scripture, he once said that Li Chaozong was trained in Dongyuan. In just over two years, Li Chaozong was promoted to Taixuan. Without the Taixuan Scripture, he would have to rely solely on hard training It is extremely difficult to advance to the Taixuan cultivation realm. From this, it can be seen that Li Chaozong probably obtained the Taixuan Scripture of a certain sect.

After traveling north for three days, the two of them arrived at the lower county town of Dezhou. On their way to Longkong Temple, they had to turn west.

The two of them entered the city at the second watch. They were looking for an inn to stay along the street. Suddenly, they heard someone shouting loudly in front of them. Looking around, they saw several burly men surrounding a short, fat man and beating him. Unable to bear the pain, he shouted loudly, saying that it was not that he did not pay the bill, but that his wallet had been stolen.

"There is also a flower building here." The fat man tilted his head and looked at a wooden building not far away. The man who was beaten was on the street in front of the wooden building. There were many young and disheveled women standing on the wooden building.

The short, fat man was beaten severely. In desperation, he took out a note and said, "Don't beat me. I am an official who is on duty and my official registration is here. Let me go back and get the money..."
