Nanfeng's dry cough was originally just to cover up his embarrassment, but Shi Yong mistakenly thought it was urging him to come out. Not long after the two went west, he jumped out of the yard.
Seeing Shi Yong coming out, Nanfeng stopped and turned around, raised his hand and threw a piece of jade at him, "On the eighth day of the first lunar month next year, go to Yunhua Mountain."
Shi Yong raised his hand to take it and strode closer, "It's a great kindness..."
"We're leaving now, you can go back," Nanfeng said with a smile, "Take care of yourself and work and rest appropriately, so as not to be exhausted when facing the enemy in battle."
Shi Yong smiled awkwardly, lowered his head and approached.
When Shi Yong came closer, Nanfeng raised his hand and patted his shoulder, "I'm not joking with you, there will be strong enemies on the eighth day of the first lunar month, so don't be careless. In these days, you will practice your martial arts more skillfully, gather spiritual energy, and prepare your equipment." war."
"Don't worry, real man, the general will definitely live up to his mission." Shi Yong seemed to have returned to the life when he commanded troops in the northwest.
"Very good, you can go back, we will leave now." Nanfeng said.
Shi Yong wanted to stay, but he couldn't bear it. Nanfeng was very determined to leave. After declining, he teleported away with Yuan Anning.
Before setting off, Nanfeng didn't say where he was going. Only after he could see the surrounding scenery clearly did Yuan Anning realize that the two of them were currently in Jiankang, Jiangnan.
"Let's go and find a place to eat." Nanfeng was in a good mood. The two clues provided by Li Luoxue were very useful. Shi Yong and the tree spirit could both be sent into battle. The trees, trees and rocks that became spirits were the hardest to find. , now the two most difficult species have been found.
Juye is a remote town in the Northern Qi Dynasty, while Jiankang is the capital of the Chen State. The two are completely different. After nightfall, there are few people on the streets of Juye, but there are still many passers-by in Jiankang, and there are also many in the wine shops and inns. There are diners.
Yuan Anning is a person who cares about people, and people who care about people naturally have to pay attention to places. Yuan Anning himself may not care, but Nanfeng does, because he knows that Yuan Anning cares about people.
Since I had to rest after dinner, I didn't go to the wine shop, but chose the best inn in Jiankang City.
There were many diners in the lobby of the inn. After entering, the two chose a corner seat, ordered tea and food, and listened to the conversations of other diners while eating.
Most of the diners were talking about trivial matters. One of the diners at one table was talking about how to give gifts to Zhenren Hou. At first, Nanfeng didn't understand who they were talking about. It wasn't until they talked about Qingqing Academy that they knew who they were talking about. It's Hou Shulin.
Hou Shulin is a martial artist with no Taoist background. Logically speaking, people should not address him as a real person. However, on second thought, Hou Shulin had taken care of Tianqizi for many years, and later worshiped Tianqizi as his adoptive father. It must have been when he was trapped. In those years in Mobei, Hou Shulin left the back door and obtained Taoism.
Previously, he had given Hou Shulin the task of searching for and investigating potential warriors below Jushan. After receiving the order, Hou Shulin left his concubine who had not yet worshiped and went on an errand overnight. He must have traveled a lot and done a lot these days. When people in the world learned about this, they tried every means to make friends with him.
It is said that the prime minister's slave is a seventh-grade official. Hou Shulin's current status is that of an imperial envoy. He is welcomed and entertained wherever he goes.
Yuan Anning spoke little while eating. After eating some rice, he took tea and rinsed his mouth, "Do you want to see him?"
Nanfeng knew that Yuan Anning was referring to Hou Shulin, because according to the diners at the table, Hou Shulin was currently visiting the Taiwei Mansion in Jiankang.
"It doesn't matter whether you go or not." Nanfeng said casually. He brought Yuan Anning to Jiankang for three reasons. First, the food and accommodation here are more convenient. He is the kind of person who can bear sins and suffer hardships, but as long as the conditions Permission will never ask for trouble. To put it bluntly, it means not eating the chaff when there is rice. Before coming back, he went to Jiangping County with Fatty Zhuge Chanjuan. According to the prefect, the singer Thirteenth Niang was taken away by Chen Baxian. He was determined to find Chen Baxian and ask about the origin of Thirteenth Niang. Third, no ghosts have been selected so far. The so-called ghosts are, to put it bluntly, ghosts. Ghosts are all turned into after death. Ghosts can only be found in crowded places. There are many lonely souls and wild ghosts wandering around Jiankang.
After Yuan Anning put down the teacup, Nanfeng stood up from his seat, waved to the waiter, paid for the meal, and went to the guest room in the backyard.
This inn is a three-story wooden building. Nanfeng asked for the room on the top floor. This is the best room here. A night's stay costs twenty taels of silver. It's not money wasted. The room is spacious, elegantly decorated, and the bedding is fragrant. The bathtub is self-filling with hot water, which is brought up by a winch by the workers below, and it pours by itself.
Most women like to be clean. When she saw the bathtub, Yuan Anning wanted to take a bath. Nanfeng looked out from the window, and Yuan Anning took a bath behind the curtain.
Nanfeng was looking at the ghosts and ghosts near Jiankang. Since the city was under the jurisdiction of the city god, most of the ghosts wandered outside the city. As the saying goes, things become better with age. No matter how old things are, they will give birth to Taoism. The same is true for ghosts. Although they have no Spiritual energy cultivation, but there are Tao practices similar to spiritual energy cultivation, and they can also be distinguished by complexion. Those ghosts outside the city are all under Jushan, and there are no very powerful characters.
Everything in the world is relative, and so is yin and yang. Ghosts belong to yin, and Taoists who subjugate demons and catch ghosts belong to yang. When Taoists and ghosts with the same level of cultivation fight, it will be an evenly matched situation, because yin and yang are equal, and yang is not. Stronger than yin, yin is not weaker than yang. The so-called evil will not overwhelm righteousness is just a saying to preach justice. Whether evil can overwhelm righteousness depends on which one is stronger, evil or righteousness.
If a Taoist and a ghost both have Dong Xuan cultivation level, no one will have much advantage in the fight. However, there is a problem at the moment, that is, the fighting method on the eighth day of the first lunar month is based on the spiritual energy cultivation level from low to high. , the yang energy is strong during the day, ghosts will suffer a lot if they fight during the day. Only fighting at night can they occupy the natural time. In this way, it is necessary to estimate the time required for the first few battles in advance, and calculate based on two battles in the morning and afternoon. , the fourth-level ghosts from light red to light blue can be eliminated directly. It is best to use the three-hole true blue and big-hole dark blue ghosts, because only the ghosts with these two levels of cultivation can be at the most beneficial time for them. Go to war.
Thinking of this section, I deliberately noticed that there were only two ghosts with these two levels of cultivation near Jiankang, one in the north of the city and one in the west of the city.
At this moment, a familiar scent suddenly appeared from the northwest. Looking carefully, it was none other than Fatty and Chang Le riding Lao Bai.
Lao Bai fell from outside the city, and Fatty and Chang Leshi rushed to the east city. Judging from the location where the two settled and the size of the house, it should be the residence of the minister.
"Fat Man and Chang Le are here." Nan Feng said to Yuan An Ning.
"You go down and say hello, I'll come out right away." Yuan Anning said.
"It's not busy," Nanfeng closed the window, "They didn't know we were here, so instead of coming to the inn, they went to Dongcheng."
"Go to Xunhou Shulin?" Yuan Anning asked.
"Yes." Nanfeng nodded. There were many Qi practitioners gathered in that house. If they looked carefully, they could see that Hou Shulin's aura was also there.
"They have little contact with Hou Shulin, why are they looking for him?" Yuan Anning asked casually. Nanfeng asked Hou Shulin to investigate the warriors below Jushan, while the fat man and Changle asked Fatty and Changle to investigate the purple energy masters above Jushan. Both sides investigated The objects are different and should not overlap.
"It must not be a serious matter," Nanfeng said with a smile, "Hou Shulin was so happy that he used chicken feathers as the official arrows, which was really impressive. The fat man must have heard some rumors and went over to see how he put on a show in front of others, and teased him by the way. He went."
Yuan Anning smiled.
Nanfeng walked behind the screen, tilted his head and peeked inside.
When Yuan Anning saw it, he wet him with water. Nanfeng ducked and ducked, and when he poked his head again, what he threw out this time was a piece of melon pulp.
Nanfeng took it and went over to help rub his back. At first, he had a bad attitude and didn't rub the serious parts. Later, he thought that this kind of situation would never happen again, and he felt sad, so he just rubbed his back. Whether it was Yuan Anning or Zhuge Chanjuan, he owed them both a lot, and he would make up for it while he still had the chance.
Even though they were married, Yuan Anning was still very shy and didn't enjoy it very openly. She kicked him out before he finished rubbing and washed himself.
Yuan Anning bathed inside, Nanfeng drank tea at the table, and at the same time they talked and talked about the selection of those who participated in the war. Now the third level of Immortal is ready, but there are still deficiencies below Taixuan. Zhenghong ascends to Xuan. The dark blue cave and the lilac mountain are still vacant, and the remaining six levels also lack substitutes.
Knowing that Nanfeng would go out at night, Yuan Anning did not delay, quickly got out of the bathtub and put on clean clothes.
Seeing Yuan Anning twisting her hair, Nanfeng said, "It's very cold outside. You should rest early."
"Where are you going?" Yuan Anning asked.
"First go to Fatty and Changle to see the results of their recent visits," Nanfeng said casually, "And Hou Shulin, we also need to ask if there are two warriors who live below the mountain who can be selected. Then go to the city Let’s go out for a while and see where those ghosts came from. Finally, we have to go to the palace. There is something I have always been doubtful about, so I went to Chen Ba to confirm it first.”
After Nanfeng finished speaking, Yuan Anning said, "If there is no inconvenience, I will go with you."
Nanfeng nodded, "Sure."
After Yuan Anning had finished packing, the two of them left the inn and headed to Dongcheng.
When I got closer, I could clearly see the door plaque of the mansion. I guessed correctly that it was the Taiwei's mansion.
The Taiwei is currently a first-class official and the head of the military attache. The house is very large, covering an area of more than ten acres. There are many pavilions inside. The auras of Fatty and Changle are high in the embroidered tower in the garden, while the aura of Hou Shulin is in the middle hall. , and there are more than a dozen qi-training warriors with different cultivation levels beside him.
There was no light from the fire or candles in that embroidered building, so it must have been uninhabited. Nanfeng pointed out the location, and he and Yuan Anning swooped over.
The landing of Yuan Anning alarmed the fat man, who whispered from inside, "Who is it?"
"Me." Nan Feng pushed open the window and saw Fatty and Chang Le drinking under the north window with a few packets of braised meat.
"Why are you here?" the fat man asked.
When Yuan Anning came in, Nanfeng closed the window and turned to look at the fat man, "I saw your breath coming from here, so I came over to take a look. What are you doing here?"
"Look at him," the fat man pointed out the window with a smile, "You're just in time, come and see your famous slave..."
