As an important city on the southwestern border of the Temple Empire, Qianzhou City is still quite strict in its censorship of people entering and leaving the city.

Those who guarded the city gate were all small cultivators in the Qi Condensation Period, and their strength was a little stronger than those martial arts masters, but a group of soldiers in the Qi Condensation Period added up, even ordinary cultivators in the Foundation Building Period would be a little jealous.

Li Chongguang didn't disguise himself, he just dressed up ordinarily, showing a little bit of the momentum of the Jindan period, and those guards didn't dare to embarrass him.

Li Chongguang is not like the protagonist in some scripts, he has to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, pretend to be an ordinary person, and then show his strength after being embarrassed by those soldiers guarding the city gate.

Li Chongguang felt that those protagonists were simply childish.

Li Chongguang is a person who doesn't like trouble, anyway, how simple it is. Like pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, he really can't do it.

And although he now looks like he is in the age of a weak crown, he has the mentality of a real middle-aged uncle. Although there are no traces of the vicissitudes of time on his face now, his psychology has long passed the stage of youth and frivolity.

The walls of Qianzhou City are very high, even taller than the walls of Xiangyang City, which is also a military city. When Li Chongguang entered Qianzhou City, he found that even the thickness of the wall was about one-third thicker than that of Xiangyang City Wall.

From this point of view, Heavenly Court really attaches great importance to Qianzhou City, not only in the deployment of cultivators, but also in the defense capability of Qianzhou City itself.

Even the army was full of recruited Qi Condensation Stage cultivators who were comparable to martial arts masters.

The individual strength of these cultivators is very weak, but it adds up to a huge force that is enough to make the cultivators of the foundation building period and even the Jindan stage jealous, especially after practicing the military formation, the strength is even stronger.

I have to say that Heavenly Court is indeed very proficient in cultivation, whether it is personal cultivation or the combined attack formation of the cultivation army.

The first thing Li Chongguang did when he came to Qianzhou City was to look for Mr. Tinglin, who lived in the south of the city.

Mr. Tinglin and the old man were friends back then. Back then, Mr. Tinglin was already a strong man in the late stage of the Jindan period, and now that so many years have passed, I am afraid that he has already stepped into the peak of the Jindan period.

Although the old man never came to Qianzhou City again, he had been in correspondence with Mr. Tinglin all these years. Since the old man lost power, Mr. Tinglin automatically withdrew from the temple and no longer served as the envoy of the temple of Qianzhou City.

Although Mr. Tinglin said that he had also been on duty in the temple for some years, he was fundamentally different from those divine envoys who exploited the people.

Mr. Tinglin was also a poor child when he was a child, but later he encountered some adventures, accidentally embarked on the path of cultivation, and went further and further.

As for the temple, Mr. Tinglin naturally didn't like it very much. Many years ago, when the temple was not as corrupt and dark as it is now, Mr. Tinglin already had a lot of opinions.

At the beginning, Mr. Tinglin was also full of passion and wanted to change the bad situation of the temple, but after touching the wall many times, he realized that many things could be successful if she didn't want to do it.

The gap between reality and ideals is still too great. Many times many people also have times when they feel helpless when they are powerless. Some things cannot be solved by being strong enough, and there is also a need for an ideological foundation, a productivity foundation, and so on. 33 starters

(Initial launch, domain name (remember _ three.)

Under the circumstances, Mr. Tinglin's drastic approach undoubtedly touched the interests of many oracles, and Mr. Tinglin was isolated.

For Mr. Tinglin, Li Chongguang still admires him very much. In such a big environment as the dark age of Heavenly Court's theocracy, it is very rare for someone to maintain such a pure and innocent heart, especially after he has experienced many encounters, he can still insist on himself.

Although he is now living in seclusion behind the scenes and rarely asks about the affairs of Qianzhou City, he has always been concerned about the people and the world. But he has never been concerned about the temple or the heavenly court.

For visiting such a revolutionary predecessor, Li Chongguang is still very much looking forward to it.

So far, Mr. Tinglin's image has remained on the old man's description of Li Chongguang.

According to the address given by the old man, Li Chongguang finally found the place where Mr. Tinglin lived after going around many streets and alleys. 33 starters

This is a small mansion, which is obviously much smaller than the Qi Palace, and it looks very inconspicuous from the outside, and even looks a little dilapidated.

The corners on both sides of the gate are covered with mosses and ferns, and the original white walls are mottled. The vermilion door, which had been heavily painted, still had a rusty deadbolt hanging from it.

Li Chongguang felt that perhaps this Mr. Tinglin was even more stylish than he imagined.

But he felt that Mr. Tinglin was too shabby to live in such a place.

With Mr. Tinglin's identity and cultivation, it is completely possible to live in a better place than this kind of place. But what Li Chongguang didn't understand was that even if Mr. Tinglin had the ability and financial resources, he was unwilling to do that, because those were all the people's fat and ointment looted by the temple, and they were exchanged for the hard work of the people.

Perhaps as a royal family, Li Chongguang is not particularly more aware of these. Even the new era of the new country under the leadership of the new government of the Great You Dynasty has been nurtured for many years.

The transition of power in the Dayou Dynasty is very peaceful, and the development has been good over the years, and there is still a big difference from the actual situation in Qianzhou City, so it is understandable that Li Chongguang cannot realize this.

"Bang bang bang. ”

Li Chongguang cautiously knocked on the vermilion gate that looked very dilapidated, and he had no doubt that this vermilion gate was likely to be knocked on by him in the next second.

And Li Chongguang's psychology, you quietly changed after knocking on the door. He suddenly became a little nervous, as if a commoner was about to meet the emperor.

Although this metaphor is a bit too exaggerated, this is indeed the truest portrayal of Li Chongguang's heart at the moment.

For those who only need to dare to carry out reform or even revolution, Li Chongguang has always had a special emotion in his heart.

And what it is, he can't say.

"It's coming. ”

Soon a middle-aged man's voice came from the courtyard, sounding very elegant. Li Chongguang began to continue to imagine what kind of image this Mr. Tinglin was.

is a fierce warrior with angry eyes and jealousy, or a Confucian general with a lupine scarf. Listening to the voice just now, it seems that it should be the latter. Moreover, the word "Tinglin" chosen by Mr. Tinglin for himself is also more in line with the latter's setting.

But soon Li Chongguang saw the answer, the vermilion door was slowly opened, and the person who came was a bearded man.

The moment he saw the bearded man again, Li Chongguang was a little stunned, could it be that the big man in front of him was Mr. Tinglin, as the old man often said?

Li Chongguang was not only a little smacked, but felt that the Mr. Tinglin in front of him was too different from what he imagined, but he couldn't react for a while.

"You're Mr. Tinglin?"

Li Chongguang was still a little incredulous, and asked tentatively.

"Don't talk nonsense, young man, you've tormented me. What kind of person is Mr. Tinglin, and how can he be compared to a rough man like me? Dahan hurriedly denied it, and it could be seen that he had great respect for Mr. Tinglin.

After hearing Dahan's words, Li Chongguang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it seems that Mr. Tinglin is a Confucian general with a lupine scarf. It's just such a joke, and Li Chongguang is also very embarrassed.

"Hello, I'm here to visit Mr. Tinglin. This is a token. Li Chongguang said that the old man gave him something and handed it to the big man.

"Wait a minute, I'll give you a briefing. ”

Dahan closed the door, opened the door after a while, and said to Li Chongguang: "Mr. Xiao is really amazing, usually many people come to visit my husband, but Mr. refuses." And the first time Mr. Xiao came, my husband readily agreed. It seems that Mr. Xiao is also extraordinary. ”

The Han changed his name for Li Chongguang after a back and forth, and his gaze at Li Chongguang was also a little different from before.

In his opinion, those who can successfully visit Mr. Tinglin are not simple people.

Li Chongguang smiled and gestured as a sign of politeness, but did not answer him directly. Dahan is also a very knowledgeable person, he knows how to read words and looks, he looks like a rude man, but his mind is very delicate. Dahan moved his body and bowed down to invite Li Chongguang in.

When the big man moved his body, Li Chongguang saw the layout of this small courtyard, which was very exquisite, with rockeries, flowing water, and some flowers and plants, but they were not very precious, they were all ordinary and visible things, but in this small courtyard, it looked natural, without the slightest sense of disobedience, and the artistic conception and level were raised at once.

It seems that this Mr. Tinglin is still a literati, otherwise there would not be such a layout.

The courtyard is not very big, but it is better than being small and exquisite, and it is impossible for Mr. Tinglin to choose to live in seclusion in this place. From the outside, it looks inconspicuous and even a little shabby, but when you come inside, it is unique.

This Mr. Tinglin is also a wonderful person.

Dahan said to Li Chongguang that these were all arranged by Mr. Tinglin himself, bit by bit, and he never let him help.

The flowers were transplanted by Mr. Tinglin himself, the stones were pebbles that Mr. Tinglin picked up by the river, the wood was the rosewood that Mr. Tinglin was looking for in the deep forest, and the creek was dug by Mr. Tinglin himself. The entire layout was designed by Mr. Tinglin himself.

And this layout, Li Chongguang has always felt a little mysterious, but he is only vaguely aware of it, and he does not understand the profundity. Dahan took Li Chongguang from the front yard around the house to the back yard.

Li Chongguang saw a half-silver-haired, ordinary-dressed person tending to the flower garden. It's just that Li Chongguang only saw his back, and didn't see his true face at the first time.
