There are two flowers, one on each branch. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Let's say that the three of Shao Heng went to the Yidu without hurrying all the way, and the Qingyang Daoist had already gone to the Yidu according to the clues he had previously checked, and he easily passed the city gate to guard with an invisibility charm on his body, and no one found it.

Although the country of Qi is small, it also stretches for hundreds of years, and its capital is a century-old ancient capital. The emperors of the Qi State have worked hard to govern the country, all of them love the people like sons, and they have reduced or exempted taxes in every natural and man-made disaster, and the royal Shao family is deeply loved by the people of Qi State, and the capital is still prosperous. The head of Qingyang Dao disappeared and stood in the middle of Suzaku Street in the west, his eyes closed and motionless, his hands folded behind his back, as if he was listening.

After a long time, Qingyang Dao Chang opened his eyes, wiped his left hand and two fingers in front of him, his eyes were slightly shining, and he used the Taoist method "Wangqi Technique" to watch: but he saw that there was a yellow dragon entrenched on the top of the cloud top of the imperial city, majestic and majestic, and there were several small dragons and colorful birds playing around on its side, and the clouds were white, and the city was thriving everywhere, and there seemed to be nothing unusual.

Qingyang Dao Chang groaned slightly, but he still used his skills again to carefully check everywhere, and this time he seemed to have found something, and there was a slight surprise in his eyes that had been unfazed. After a short time, Qingyang Dao Chang dusted off his robe, stroked his beard on his face, and his body moved slightly, and disappeared into the bustling crowd in a few clicks.

Qi Guoyi has a national teacher Xu He, and according to rumors, he has reached the congenital. Xu He has been in charge of the sacrifice of Qi for nearly 20 years since the first emperor, the wind and rain of Qi are smooth, the country is peaceful, and the only turbulence is when he ascends the throne today, it is Xu He who suddenly stayed away from Fang for some reason to let the rebel king take the opportunity to make trouble, and afterwards also assisted Jinshang to calm down and down, until now.

Although the national teacher of Qi was respected by the whole of Qi, Xu He's Heavenly Master's Mansion still stood outside the imperial palace, located in the northwest corner of the Yi capital. There is a star-picking tower built in the house, so that the national teacher can climb the heights to observe the stars to measure the celestial phenomena, and overlook on the star-picking tower, you can have a panoramic view of the city.

Today, Xu He only entered the palace during the day to play a few games of chess with Emperor Qi, and then returned to the Heavenly Master's Mansion, abandoned the family Ding and Daotong, and climbed to the top of the star-picking building alone, opened a set of tea utensils, made a pot of snow-top nectar tea given by Emperor Qi, poured a cup by himself, and poured a cup opposite him, closing his eyes and recuperating. The cool breeze on the roof of the star-picking building is slow, the yi has completely entered autumn, and the high-rise buildings are already cold like water at night, and occasionally there will be a few wisps of refreshing golden cinnamon fragrance.

At this time, everything was quiet, there was not the slightest sound of insects and birds chirping around, only the night breeze was blowing, but Xu He suddenly said: "There are friends from afar, don't you say it! Serve a pot of fragrant tea, but invite the guests to taste it." ”

After saying that, he opened his eyes, but saw that there was one more person in the opposite position at some point, the purple robe moved with the wind, and he was stroking his beard and smiling: "I haven't seen you for twenty years, Senior Brother Xu He is okay?"

The person who came was Qingyang Dao Chief, he laughed, sat in his robe, glared at the fragrant tea in front of him, and said angrily: "I have heard that Senior Brother Qinghe has become the national teacher of this Qi country, one person is above 10,000 people, this snow-top nectar can be very precious, and the junior brother is coarse tea and light rice in the mountains, where has he tasted such good tea!"

"Hehe, I dare not take the name of my senior brother seriously, no matter how good this tea is, it is just a thing in the world, not to mention that I am just borrowing flowers to offer Buddha. But it was Xu He who lifted the teapot and added another cup to Qingyang, "Time is like flowing water, it has been almost twenty years in a flash, I am old, but Qingyang has not changed, and his cultivation has improved a lot, and he is a brother...... Alas......"

But it turned out that Xu Heyuan had also worshiped Cunwei Mountain, because his ancestors had an old relationship with Cunwei Mountain, so he was allowed to worship in the door, and he was the same generation as Qingyang. However, due to his qualifications, he lingered for a long time in the congenital qi induction period, and failed to really enter the inner door ranking. At the same time, the royal family of Qi had a little incense with Xu He in the past, so he hoped that Xu He could stay in Qi State, but he didn't need to do anything, and he rarely divined on weekdays, just to prevent other people in the same way from doing unfavorable things to Qi Guo, so he stayed until today.

And now that the head of Qingyang Dao has discovered that Xu He has only reached the late stage of Zhuyuan after more than 20 years and has become a foundation building monk, only one level higher than Shen Yuanxi, not to mention that he is already a big difference from himself, and he can't help but sigh while relaxing a little in his heart.

"It's been twenty years, and my brother can't see how you are cultivating now, but why did you come out of the mountain this time?" Xu He asked inadvertently.

"The little brother is lucky, it is indeed in the late stage of entering the gods, this time down the mountain, one is to travel through the world to prove the Taoist heart, and the second is that several senior brothers are about to cultivate, and they can prepare to open the mountain to accept apprentices. Recently, I am recruiting outer disciples, and I also came out by the way to see what good seedlings there are, and I just swam to the Qi country, and I remembered that my senior brother became a great teacher in the Qi country, won't I come for a while!" Qingyang Daoist said with a smile, "But I don't know if the senior brother has been in the Qi country for many years, do you have any good materials to recommend to me to practice the Taoism in Weishan?"

Qingyang Dao looked like he was unintentional, but secretly stared at Xu He's face, only to see him pick up the cup and drink a cup of tea with his sleeves covered, put down the cup and said, "There are a few good qualifications." ”

"Oh? ”

"One is the fourth son of the Shangguan family of the Dingyuan Houfu of Qi State, the Dingyuan Houfu will be talented for generations, these four sons are born with great strength and extremely wide meridians, and they are indeed suitable for cultivation. "Xu He is not in a hurry, he is not Xu Dao, that Taiyue Zhenren is the junior brother of Taiwei Zhenren, the head of Cunwei Mountain, and his portable flying sword is named "Tai'a", weighing six catties and seven taels, and it belongs to the heavy sword category among the flying swords, and the strength or true qi is weak and cannot be waved like an arm, it seems that the fourth son of Shangguan is at least born with a lot of strength, as for how to cultivate it in the future, it will not be mentioned for the time being, according to this, it should be a good seedling.

"In addition, last year, a scholar came to Yidu to take the exam, I saw that his face was good, so I investigated it a little, and found that his mind was extremely firm, his eyebrows were upright, and if he had the heart of the Tao, it was also good, and ......" So a few more people were mentioned, listening to Xu He's tone and qualifications, but the Qingyang Daoist was more and more cautious in his heart, but his face was not obvious, and he still listened carefully, as if he was carefully considering the candidate Xu He said.

“…… Oh, by the way, there is another person, who is a child of the royal family, the son of King An, the son of his brother An Wang, with a single name of the word 'Heng', I have looked at his qualifications, and found that it is also excellent, and I have been beaten by the emperor since I was a child, and I was deceived into taking many herbs, hehe!" Xu He snorted lightly, and seemed to be still dissatisfied with Emperor Qi and King An defrauding him of herbs.

Qingyang Daoist was relieved when he heard this, but he just pretended to smile on his face, "Emperor Qi is not a stingy person, I am afraid that he has already compensated his senior brother, not to mention that the senior brother is a national teacher, and a little mortal herb is nothing." ”

"Brother Wei had planned to mention it to Wang and his wife for a long time, and recommended him to practice in the mountains, but how did he know that this kid ran out in three days after a little martial arts achievement, and usually saw that the poor road slipped faster than a rabbit, so far he didn't have a good talk with him...... Alas...... However, it's not good to be a brother, not to mention that King An and Jinshang may not be willing to allow him to enter the mountain. Xu He shook off the dust and said.

Qingyang Daoist thought to himself, I heard that Shao Heng was extremely favored in the royal family of Qi State, and the Queen Mother, Emperor Qi, and Empress all loved him very much, but I was afraid that it would take a lot of tricks to persuade them to allow him to enter the Daomen. The way of the sword, the root bone is the base, the physique is supplemented, but the swordsmanship changes by the heart, the mind is smart, and the swordsmanship can be varied. Qingyang has only seen Shao Heng once, but he already feels that his mind is clear, he is a good seedling to practice swordsmanship, if his family is tied up and cannot enter the Daomen, it is really a pity. As for the few people mentioned by Xu He just now, except for the four sons of the Shangguan family, who are very good, the rest of them are at least mentally good, but their specific character still needs to be slowly contacted and investigated.

There are many people with outstanding qualifications in the inner door of Cunwei Mountain, and it is already one in a thousand to be able to enter the inner door, so it is said that Shen Yuanxi is already the fastest disciple in the mountain gate in a hundred years, although Yonglun is still in the qi induction period, but he has made an exception to allow him to enter the inner door rank, although it is because he grew up in Cunwei Mountain since he was a child, but Yonglun's qualifications are not bad.

Although Xu He invited himself to leave the door and go down the mountain, and the difference in cultivation is already big, the relationship between the two was not bad in the past, and they haven't seen each other for decades, so they have a good conversation.

I don't know if the Qingyang Daoist did it on purpose, the cow drank most of the pot of "Snow Top Nectar", and the corners of Xu He's eyes twitched slightly. Although this tea is not as good as the fairy spirit tea, it is also the best spirit tea in the mortal world, and even Emperor Qi is usually reluctant to drink it. However, in the end, it was the senior brother in the past, and Xu He did not show it at all.

Xu He once again brewed a cup of "Snow Top Nectar" for Qingyang, and said, "Senior brother traveled all the way to Qi Country, did you find anything abnormal?"

Qingyang was slightly stunned, he was already secretly looking at Xu He, and as soon as he found that many women were missing or involved in the actions of people in the Demon Gate, he immediately suspected this national teacher of the Qi State. After all, he has stayed in the Qi State for several years, and this case is said to have happened for at least a few years, but he has not moved as a national teacher, which is strange. Therefore, when he stepped into the Star Picking Tower, Qingyang was always careful to guard against temptation, even the tea was secretly sure that it was okay and pretended to be a cow.

I also found that although Xu He's exercise qi was not as subtle as the Cunwei Mountain Heart Method, it was pure and long, and it was also an authentic Dao Sect Heart Method, and there was no Demon Gate atmosphere. It's just that, but he doesn't relax, he just mutters.

"I ignore the world all year round, a few days ago Emperor Qi looked for me, saying that many prefectures reported that many women had disappeared, for the sake of my brother and the national teacher, but only at this time did I find out that there were people from the Demon Gate who came to my Qi country to commit murder!" Xu He's face was grim, and he was awe-inspiring.

"Oh, it seems that Senior Brother also found out that something was wrong. ”

"Yes, it turns out that the junior brother knows, although there has been occasional friction between the two realms of righteousness and evil in Shenzhou in the past thousand years, it can be regarded as peaceful. Qi is in the north of Shenzhou, but there are people in the Demon Dao infiltrating, this matter must be cautious, whether it is for the missing person, or the Demon Gate will make a move, we should investigate this matter as soon as possible. Xu He stroked his beard and said.

"This matter, the younger brother is already investigating, and he has a little eyebrows, I don't know how the senior brother is?"

"I also have some eyebrows, this matter also involves the royal family, so ...... That's ......," Xu He replied.

I don't know what the two of them said, after half an hour, Xu He was the only one left in the Star Picking Tower, and Qingyang was nowhere to be found. At this time, the starlight was full of light, shining on the case, and even Xu He was under the starlight, which seemed to be unfathomable to the national teacher of Qi.
