Tai Sui

Chapter 120: Eternal Flame (2)

Views:

"Sanyue probably wanted to block the news at the beginning, but they couldn't help it. They couldn't control the underground black market like raising Gu in the country. Once the incident in Tao County happened, all the evil spirits in Yehu Township ran away overnight, and the matter was publicized everywhere. Yes. The subordinates estimate that both Shu and Li should have received the news, not much later than Sanyue."

Zhou Ying nodded: "Where is Yu Chang?"

"There is no news about this person. He has escaped from the jurisdiction of Lingshan. He is not within the scope of any country and has not contacted anyone." Bering said, "Now everyone is looking for him, including the evil spirits of Western Chu. —Because it is said that he has a way to eradicate the spirit face. Once this happened, the powerful and powerful people in the entire Chu State who relied on "offering" were in panic all day long, and they were all thinking of other ways to control the offering. Everyone has ghosts."

"There is a new Qilin guard outside Tao County near the forbidden spirit line. The branch has not been completed yet. The Qilin guards will pass the day they get the order. Right now they are working in the mustard. But it is not very useful at present. Once they cross the forbidden Lingxian, these Qilin Guards are not as good as ordinary people. Therefore, it is said that Sanyue has transferred another 100,000 people from the Xiabei Navy to station in Tao County, and now Tao County's entry and exit ports are closed."

Zhou Ying raised her eyebrows: "I don't usually raise soldiers, but now I'm thinking about using them."

Under the protection of Lingshan, the garrisons of various countries can guard against the invasion of foreign enemies at any time without having to stand by. In addition to tasks such as ceremonial guards, guards, and escorts, they generally also manage bandits and chaos. It can be said that mortal military generals have almost no chance of relying on military merits to rise to the top. This is why the first battle of Zhixiu has been praised for two hundred years... The salary of the two-hundred-year-old hussar general is also more than that of Yongning Houye. Not a few bucks.

However, due to the separatism of the aristocratic family, Dawan has been fighting endlessly for thousands of years, and the garrison is finally just a decoration.

Chu State is different.

The Xiang family is dominant, and the state of Chu has a clear hierarchy. No matter how powerful the local emperors are on their own territory, they don’t dare to challenge the royal family. The Xiang family usually turns a blind eye to the subordinates. , that is, raise your hand. So this conflict cannot arise.

Everywhere is maintained by monks raised by local snakes to maintain law and order, let alone the garrison, which is basically controlled by some fringe people in the Dongheng political arena—it turns out that the entry and exit ferry in Tao County is also under the control of the Xiajiang Navy in name, what effect, anyway Just a row of soldiers poked there, and the border welcomes visitors from all over the world. There are five or eight of them, and forty without them.

Zhou Ying asked: "Which side of the Xiabei navy is recruited?"

Bering: "Qu Long Hou Zheng Bin."

"Princess Qiyang's son-in-law, who came from a poor and humble background, became ambitious after she came to power." Zhou Ying said slowly, the leader of the secret service is very dedicated in this area, and he is also very familiar with a "marginal figure" in a neighboring country, "I I heard that these two couples are very interesting. Princess Qiyang has no intention of cultivating, she just wants to be a half-immortal, but Zheng Bin has been honing the spiritual bone to find the Taoist heart. It is said that the spiritual bone has been completed, but the eldest princess does not allow him to build a foundation On top of him, he is now being squeezed out to a border forbidden spirit place. This person's biggest dream, I guess, should be his dead wife."

"The subordinates will make arrangements." Bai Ling understood, and then said, "There is news from Xu Rucheng that there is chaos in Yujiawan, and the Zhao family is very upset now. But the marriage contract can still be broken, and the spirit pattern can't be erased. For the current plan, they can only pinch their noses to recognize it. At present, they should plan to go north to Dongheng as soon as possible, use the waste chess of 'Zhao Yudan' as a stepping stone to the inner door of Sanyue, and then slowly figure it out. The patriarch of the Yu family died, and the great loss Enshrinement, the hundreds of years of the old mansion and the family property are almost destroyed, and they are in a state of panic. The emperor and grandson in the palace are their only hope. We hit it off and set off in a few days.”

Zhou Ying said "Yes": "Sanyue Neimen is no better than those rural places in Tao County, Yujiawan. There is a reason why Xiang's family has not lost their fortune after such mischief. Dongheng in the north must be cautious in words and deeds, and not underestimate the enemy."

Bai Ling said: "Yes, the Zhao family is afraid of Lu Wu, and has been suspiciously checking for several rounds. If it wasn't for the rescue of 'Zhao Xidan', the two brothers would almost have been exposed. Just to be cautious, I asked Lu Wu in the Zhao family's secret realm to stop. Use fairy artifacts to communicate, and temporarily use the reincarnation wood to transfer."

There is a forbidden spirit in Tao County, of course the communication inside is completely cut off. The entire communication network of Lu Wu in Tao County is supported by reincarnation wooden signs... and "Tai Sui".

Xiping became a "transit station" for news and supplies.

"The rest are trivial matters, and this subordinate has already dealt with it by itself." When Bai Ling said this, he looked at Zhou Ying's face and added, "Oh, and, my son, I entrust my subordinates to please Your Highness."

Zhou Ying's face turned cold: "Don't mention that evil to me!"

Bering complied without saying a word: "Hey."

Zhou Ying has a reincarnated wood herself, and she doesn't want to talk to Xi Ping, so it's sealed in mustard seeds, and Xi Ping can't contact him.

Zhou Ying suppressed the fire, and explained other things as if nothing had happened, and then took the tea from Bering.

He has always followed the old customs of Jinping for tea, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is a local green tea that blindly relieves dryness and nourishes the lungs, called "Jinping Yugan". Zhou Ying took a sip and remembered the unlucky man by the unlucky name, and knocked the tea bowl on the table with a "bang".

"Playing Sanyue and Yu Jiawan in the palm of his hand, intercepting Lu Wu's news without authorization, and directly revealing the breaking method to the world—isn't he very patient?"

Bai Ling peeked at the pocket watch with his spiritual sense, and thought: This time I held back for two moments.

Since the Lord didn't let him mention his son, Bering kept his mouth shut and passed a handkerchief to wipe the tea on Zhou Ying's hands.

Zhou Ying raised his hand and pushed it away: "He never thought that there are cicadas in Sanyue, and they also came down from the time of the ancient war between gods and demons. Could he not know about Nansheng Zhanyuan's return to the East China Sea? If Sanyue contacted Xuanyin about this matter Mountain, Xuanyin turned around and found Wuduhai, what should he do? In the borderland of Western Chu, there was no natural or man-made disaster in any year, and there was no trouble. Ordinary people died one after another, what did it have to do with him? he!"

Bering: "..."

Zhou Ying: "If you have something to say, just say it, why don't you want to talk?"

Bai Ling said: "Oh, my subordinates asked the prince in the secret realm. The prince said no, Yu Chang 'colluded' with Lu Wu, and he was going to steal the furnace to give him some golden hands. Xuanyin and Sanyue will win immediately." Turn your face. There is no mandarin duck that cannot be broken apart, let alone a fairy mountain that shares the same bed and different dreams."

Zhou Ying pressed his chest when he heard this bullshit, and he habitually wanted to cough, but Banxian's lungs were not ready, so the series of coughs stuck in his chest embarrassingly, and he was a little out of breath .

Bering looked at his nose, nose and mouth solemnly, gloating in his stomach: You also have today

This half-devil who lived like a human being always felt that the master's blood was too cold, and was afraid that he would freeze himself, so he seized the opportunity to annoy him: "My son also ordered this subordinate to tell the master not to be angry. He has ruined himself, he spends every night in the law-breaking secret realm, and the master can go there anytime he wants to beat him or scold him."

Zhou Ying: "..."

Xi Ping sneezed very gracefully—the sides of his nose were sticky, so he couldn’t pinch them hard, and his fake beard was too thick, so he accidentally ate his mouth—he said that Bering just came to Pofa in the evening, so he might be misleading his words. When he went back, the third brother was scolding him.

Anyway, he has nothing to worry about: the third brother will not come, and the master is in Pofa at night.

As soon as the sky darkened, Xi Ping turned off the lights and pretended to fall asleep, and his spiritual consciousness got into the broken dharma bracelet.

At this time, Pofazhong was already a large wilderness, Xi Ping noticed something as soon as he landed, and jumped up suddenly, narrowly avoiding an inscription on the ground.

Then I heard the voice of Zhixiu coming from a phantom whose outline could not be seen clearly: "This is an evil spirit of Emperor Wendi in the third year. In the middle stage of foundation establishment, a rare master of inscriptions killed nine people in Tianji Pavilion and fled all the way to Beili. .Tianji Pavilion and Beili Kunlun Outer Sect teamed up to block him in Cangyeyuan. After more than half a month of stalemate, more than ten outer sect half-immortals and two accompanying foundations were broken. In the end, Kunlun sent Shengling Sword Cultivator to forcefully break This person was captured just now. This battle was recorded in the annals of history by the Lingshan Mountains of the two countries because it was extremely tragic. I have transcribed all the methods that the evil spirit used at that time. You should try it first, and don’t call for help.”

Xi Ping's face collapsed: "...Master, I won't be fooled again."

The first time Zhixiu gently told him "Don't call for help", Xi Ping really believed in his evil, and innocently shouted when he was beaten up and screamed by the evil spirit transformed from breaking the law.

However, his poor master was just hanging on the sky with his hands bound, admiring his "heroic posture" and unhurriedly replied: "Master is just a ray of consciousness in the broken sword, what are you calling me?"

Xi Ping felt that his trust in the whole world had collapsed: "Didn't you tell me to 'I can't call for help'?"

Zhi Xiu: "Then I didn't say shouting would work."

This is his master's way of preaching, which he can't even explain in detail about the meridians. Mother Luo kowtowed when she saw it.

However, the loud yelling on his lips was also voluntary.

Xi Ping briefly met Xiang Wenqing face to face, and he understood his depth completely. For the first time in his life, he knew to work hard without being urged by others.

He is not a swordsman, and it is unrealistic to start practicing swords one by one now, and there is no Feiqiong Peak and Qianxiu Temple in the world where he can learn to draw talismans and recite magic circles quietly, so Zhixiu simply put up and down for thousands of years. The classic monk fighting method in Chinese is stuffed into the breaking method, so that he can figure it out from the beating.

After all, breaking the law will not hurt one's "housekeeper", and the wind knife and frost sword outside are not necessarily the same.

Xi Ping frantically made up for the lessons he had missed for at least a hundred years, and went out every night when his consciousness was exhausted—so the first sound of the huqin in the morning was so miserable that it was all the more realistic.

On this day, he failed to break away from that ghost-like evil in history, and stepped on the pit where Kunlun's foundation was built, and was ejected by the broken law. Zhi Xiu waved away the game in the secret realm, and sat alone in Pofa for a while.

Zhi Xiu's current situation can't support his spiritual consciousness to float outside for too long, but he will still stay until exhausted.

Because there is only a moment of silence in this broken law that is not controlled by Lingshan.

As the court was broken, he himself faced the considerations of heaven, hanging on the threshold of the cicada slough, and was torn with unknown forces all the time.

The way of heaven is like a knife and an axe, and has been "trimming" something on his body. Zhi Xiu can't tell what it is, he just doesn't want to obey.

The familiar severe pain from all over his body was a harbinger that his wisp of consciousness was about to dissipate.

Tiandao seemed to be getting more and more impatient with his disobedience.

General Zhi smiled nonchalantly, and before disappearing, he casually grabbed a handful of the special Xichu snacks that were in the middle of breaking the law...then he couldn't laugh anymore.

"Bah, I killed the salt seller."

Before returning to his own body, Xi Ping wandered around the reincarnation tree in the whole county as a rest, in a daze, he heard a familiar voice talking, so he followed it subconsciously.

Neither Wei Chengxiang nor Zhao Xidan had the habit of sleeping, at most they meditated for a while before dawn.

At this time, an oil lamp was lit in the small courtyard, and Zhao Yudan was teaching Wei Cheng to resound Chu characters.

Zhao Xidan is from Yuzhou, Yuzhou is bordered by Chu State, many people are proficient in Chu Wen, and her Chu Wen is as slippery as Wan Wen.

While teaching and teaching, Zhao Xidan suddenly lost his mind.

Wei Cheng paused with the tip of his pen, and looked up at her.

Zhao Xidan asked, "Where are you from? Are you from Wan?"

"Heaven is the bed, the earth is the mat, and the world is home." Wei Chengxiang smiled slyly, and licked the tip of his pen—she spoke with a little Ling County accent in her early years, and she has been wandering for many years, and now she can't hear it at all, "What's wrong? Today Did the registration startle you?"

In the evening of that day, a yamen servant suddenly came knocking on the door, registering the population from house to house, and interrogating people as soon as they caught them.

Zhao Xiedan had never lied since she was a child, and was almost stuttered when asked. Fortunately, Wei Chengxiang rushed back to rescue her after receiving the news of Tai Sui.

She watched Wei Chengxiang open his eyes and talk nonsense in front of a group of neighbors in horror, she was so anxious that someone would jump out and expose him in the next moment.

However, Wei Cheng babbled nonsense for half a stick of incense, and no one came out to say a word. The old lady next door who couldn't understand them on the first day even said timidly: "That girl has been here for several years."

Zhao Xiedan: "Why did she help me?"

"It's not a good thing to be caught by the yamen servants. The neighbors will help you out with a lie without spending money. Even if you don't dare to speak, you won't intentionally hurt people when you encounter this kind of thing." Wei Cheng shook his neck and said, "Besides I have helped the old lady carry water a lot, planting good causes, but I can’t get bad results anyway.”

"Ah?" Zhao Xiedan said, "I brought some snacks to thank her at night, but she also pulled me and said that you are not a good person, let me think clearly while I am young."

Wei Chengxiang: "..."

What's the matter with this old woman, she's getting old, she has three mice and four eyes, she doesn't care about anything!

"Even if I can't get over it for a while, there is still Lu Wu." Wei Chengxiang coughed dryly and brought the topic over, "It's their old profession to fake identities, even if they become ordinary people, it's not a big deal to fool a yamen servant. Lu Wu used For their own sake, they will protect you even if you have lost your identity."

Zhao Xidan didn't say a word, accidentally caught a glimpse of a small bronze mirror that Wei Cheng used as a prize, and saw himself in the mirror.

She is now aliased as "Xu Dan". Wei Chengxiang is highly skilled. He only changed her facial features randomly, which did not affect her facial expression or cover her with exaggerated scars, but she completely changed her look - with some noses Handicapped people who have been pasted with one or two glues are not the same.

At first glance, even Zhao Xiaodan couldn't recognize him.

That strange face gave her a huge loss and loneliness, she looked at it twice, and almost panicked.

On the one hand, the Zhao family and her betrayed each other, and she was homeless in this unfamiliar place, surrounded by an "evil spirit" of unknown origin; on the other hand, her surname was Zhao after all, even if Lu Wu was willing Protecting her for the time being, it is impossible for her to blend into their circle.

In just a few months, she fell from the clouds to the world, and then became a lost stranger.

She has no where and no where. Her previous ambitions and ambitions have come to naught, and there is no place for her in such a big world.

Just when she was upset, a loud barking of a dog suddenly sounded in the distance, followed by a shout, and the humming of a big machine.

Wei Chengxiang and Zhao Yudan looked at each other, and stood up at the same time - forbidden spirit is not good at this point, the monks all have the feeling that they are "deaf", and there is no inspiration attached to their hearing, and sometimes things can only be heard at the door.

Wei Chengxiang reached out his hand into his sleeve: "Senior, help me look outside..."

Before she finished speaking, Xi Ping's voice sounded in her ears: "The garrison has arrived."

Wei Cheng frowned. At this time, the sound of people was already very close—the sound of "rustling" footsteps passing by the street behind, mixed with the sound of horseshoes and swords hitting armor.

"Entering the city in the middle of the night? What is this for?" Wei Chengxiang pressed his ear to the base of the wall, and said, "Wait, it's not just people and horses and horses that came, what did they bring?"

Xi Ping saw the "long-arm" cart in the middle of the queue in the reincarnated wood, and said slowly, "I guess it's a logging machine... a logging machine."

When the voice fell, a strange "squeak" sound came from the street not far away, and the garrison began to clean up the reincarnated trees along the street.
