"I call him Uncle Chengbi, and he is also the uncle who presides over the envy of the Laojun Palace. Grandpa, don't dissuade him in the future, it's very appropriate for the host to say that he is eccentric! ”

Li Zhi's words are not alarmist, Cheng Bi's old Taoist character is indeed uninhibited, and he does not like to be restrained in temperament, but he will not respect Jiang County Ling like Mingxin and Wu Daoxiao.

Jiang Xianling was stunned, and suddenly said: "Text, is this old man in your mouth always wearing a tattered blue coarse cloth robe, and a pair of copper chopsticks on his head under his unkempt hair?" And the three locks of long hair have been sticking for a long time, and the face is also dirty? ”

Without waiting for Li Zhi's reaction, Mingxin first stood up and said in surprise: "Yes, Chengbi Ancestor is dressed like this on weekdays, and the copper hairpin is also his most distinctive feature!" ”

Jiang Xian Ling suddenly laughed, "In this way, I am an old acquaintance with the real person, if there is this old man sitting in Tianji Pavilion, he really won't lift the table for me!" ”

Everyone was surprised, and they all threw their eyes in surprise, and Jiang Xian Ling told the inside story.

It turned out that Cheng Bi Lao Dao had known him at least twenty years ago, at that time Yuran's mother had not yet been born, and there were only three uncles, and Jiang County Ling was the age of his uncle Jiang Han now.

But at that time, he had been in his current position for several years, the only difference was that Lintong County was still called Zhaoying County back then, and the initiator of the later manipulation of the candidate's encounter with immortals, Cheng Wangpin, was serving as the master for less than a few months.

And Jiang County Ling met Cheng Bi Lao Dao in the deep mountains, and the person who followed him was also Wang Pin, and the two led the officials to go deep into the barren mountains and mountains, in order to hunt down a wanted criminal in Chang'an City, and those who were invited to help together were the masters of the five gangs, otherwise the county government would not be able to solve the important criminal who was a cultivator.

Just after seven days and seven nights of sleeping in the open air, the key culprit was finally captured alive, and the gang who went to encircle and suppress had rushed back first, because the deadline of the imperial court was approaching, in order to hurry, the young and strong servants returned with the gang, and Jiang County Ling was left with a civil official like Wang Pin, and the speed of return was naturally greatly restricted.

That night, the group gathered around a campfire in a corner of the mountain to bake food, and two members of the royal guard who patrolled the mountain were met halfway, without which it would have been a felony to openly set fire to the edge of the royal garden.

It was precisely because of the fragrance that the old road of Chengbi suddenly appeared, and the way to appear was to jump down from a cliff more than ten zhang high.

After explaining through the letter on the side, more than 20 years ago, Cheng Bi was already a third-level master realm, and if it was several times higher, it was also easy for him.

At that time, although Jiang County Ling and his party did not know the depth of this person's cultivation, seeing this situation, they thought that they had met the immortals, and they were so frightened that they wanted to scream, and the two mountain patrol guards had already stood up and clasped their fists to greet them.

Jiang County Ling learned that the real person in the mouth of the guards came from the Laojun Palace at the other end of Lishan, and although the specific name could not be called, it was a figure who was familiar to everyone in the nearby mountain patrol army.

The old Taoist looks like he was born obscene, and although his clothes are not in tatters, he can't find a clean place, and although he has a bun, he still looks extremely unkempt.

But it was this dignity that made everyone dare not be contemptuous, the wine and meat were carefully served, and no one opened their mouths easily.

Xu is wine and meat were in his stomach, arousing a little bit of talk, and Cheng Bi Lao Dao chattered to the Jiang County Order beside him, it turned out that he had already known the identity of the group and the purpose of entering the deep mountains.

One of the mountain patrol guards left for a while, and two jars of old wine were brought from nowhere, and the old man had a smile on his face.

So he further confided that these mountain patrol guards who have never given a good face, although they have not eaten less wine and meat in recent years, but Cheng Bi Lao Dao has been thinking about the domineering place of the guards for half the night.

The patrol army was quite cruel to the ban on hunting, but they often secretly hunted and killed themselves to satisfy their appetite, just like the ignition of this bonfire, which was quite a bit of a need for the state officials to set fires, and the people were not allowed to light the lamps.

Unlike the two silent guards, Jiang Xian Ling had no ghosts in his heart, and coupled with his drunkenness, he was able to hook up with Cheng Bi Lao Dao and complain to each other later.

In fact, he had already thought about it at that time, this old Dao was not stingy, and even he was full of disdain for the Dao he was cultivating, not to mention those things that he was not used to.

And Jiang Xian Ling is a generation of hunters, and he is most familiar with the interesting anecdotes in the mountains, which is in line with the naughty and thief-like nature of Chengbi Laodao, so the description does not mean how bad this person is, but there is always a scoundrel and cunning temperament.

Of course, the main reason is that the more such people, the more interested in the mountains and wilderness, so they don't wait for a jar of wine to be drunk, but the two seem to be in love.

There were no accidents after that night, but anyone who saw the strength of Chengbi Lao Dao would be full of awe, and Jiang County Ling was even more interested in befriending this person, so he came here with wine and meat every ten days.

It's just that there is not necessarily one time in ten times to see him personally, Jiang County Ling entrusted the mountain patrol person he met to hand over, this exchange is a few years, during which the two really met and never talked about it, the topic is not only those rare things in the mountains and wilderness, and even the old Taoist surname no one deliberately mentioned.

Suddenly, one day the two met again, and after the old man was full of wine and food, he took out a jade plate from his arms and handed it to Jiang County Ling: I have encountered a major opportunity, maybe it will not appear again in ten or twenty years, and you can save running back and forth! This is an old token, if you encounter a problem that cannot be solved in the future, you can go to the Laojun Palace for help!

After finishing the narrative, Jiang Xian Ling took out the jade plate, and Mingxin nodded, "This is indeed a token of the ancestor of Chengbi, there is no life card in the cultivation world, this kind of jade object is equivalent to identity verification, and others will receive a chance to make a move from the Laojun Palace, of course, including financial support!" ”

Jiang Xian Ling smiled faintly, and didn't seem to care about the usefulness of the jade card, "I personally suffered an official position crisis a few years ago, that is, that time the candidate's encounter with immortals was affected. Once I am not in his position, I will not take advantage of this to make some benefits and relationships in my life, and the entire Jiang family will be even more unbearable from now on! Even so, he never thought of using the jade plate left by the real person. ”

He didn't need to explain what he meant too clearly, and everyone present also knew that there were no three generations of wealth and nobility, and the Qing officials were not at the head, and the officialdom was corrupt in the old days, and it was difficult for the Qing officials to stay there for a long time.

Even if such a person has been appreciated for some reason, it will only be for the reason of the specific affairs under his jurisdiction, but he will only be poor for life, and he will not be able to leave any property to future generations, and once the position is not secured, no one will care about your situation.

Without waiting for everyone to speak, Jiang Xian Ling talked again: "Do you always feel dull when you listen to me talk about this matter?" Obviously, it can be finished in a few words, so there is no need to repeat it so much? And I have repeatedly gone to the mountains, and the real person obviously has the intention of avoiding it, so why is he so persistent and ignoring? That's because I have a huge doubt and curiosity in my heart, and I want to find out, and the same psychology exists in the heart of a real person! ”

"Grandpa, are there things that are beyond your personal knowledge in your conversations? Or is it faintly aware that there are strange people in the eight hundred miles of Qinling? ”

Li Zhi said such a sentence suddenly, which instantly silenced the scene.

Only Jiang Xian Ling nodded slightly, "When I talked to real people about things in the mountains or rumors, I talked about strange phenomena several times, such as the extraordinary of some supernatural or supernatural phenomena, such as the dragon celestial phenomenon that appeared after the rain several times, the face of a certain hunter who disappeared for decades and returned unchanged, and the figure that flickered and flickered for no reason, etc.!" I think that there are mysterious cultivators in the Qinling Mountains who have no quarrel with the world and live in seclusion, and these people are very likely to pursue the purpose of conforming to nature and immortality, and they will escape to the mountains and forests and become hermits! It's a pity that once he talked about it with the real person, he talked about him and never mentioned it again! ”

Except for those ordinary people at the scene, all the cultivators suddenly realized, and only they had more or less come into contact with and heard some things that seemed to be in the cultivation realm, and knew that people like Jiang County Ling who had lived here for nearly seventy years had seen and heard a lot, and naturally there was a huge curiosity in their hearts.
