Chapter 11 Tomb robbers on the road

"How can you cultivate so fast? Even if you enter the country quickly, you can't use this to entertain me, right? Wu Neng saw that Li Xian hurt his feelings so shamelessly, on the one hand, he was secretly surprised that Li Xian was so perverted in martial arts, and on the other hand, he couldn't help venting his dissatisfaction in his heart, this look made Li Xian want to laugh but he didn't laugh, and he was so suffocated that his face turned red.

"Uh, senior brother, the junior brother of internal strength admits that it is indeed not comparable, but he thinks that he is okay in terms of external skills and light skills, after a night of hard work by the younger brother, these two masterpieces have been practiced to the first level, these two masterpieces need hard work, only a rough person like the younger brother can insist, and the senior brother does not have to be discouraged." In order to fight for a face, Wu Neng didn't care about hiding it, and shook out his biggest advantage over Li Xian, and his expression was not without pride.

Li Xian saw Wu Neng's stunned look, and he was amused in his heart, but although he was very sympathetic in his heart, he didn't want him to be so proud, so he scratched his head, and said with a smile: "It's ashamed to say that the progress of my brother's external and light skills is indeed not as good as that of internal skills, and this is all due to my brother's sleeping too early last night, resulting in the two progress not reaching the first major consummation, and if you want to break through to the second level, I am afraid it will take three or five more days." ”

"Well, you, you, hmph, I won't talk to you again." Wu Neng originally thought that he was finally better than Li Xian, but today he finally understood that comparing his martial arts qualifications with this person was simply self-inflicted, so he extinguished his competitive heart, and was just ready to do his best, but he didn't know that this would make his martial arts cultivation improve by leaps and bounds, and he didn't know how much stronger than the previous Jinyi.

In fact, the reason why Li Xian repeatedly grabbed the limelight of Wu Neng was not only to anger the other party, but to see that the other party was blindly competitive and competitive, which did not conform to the gist of the pure heart and few desires in the mental law, for fear that the other party would delay the progress and even affect the penance, so he spoke out to stimulate him.

The two exchanged their experience in practicing martial arts with each other, and then they came hand in hand to meet the Shaolin five hundred monks and soldiers to teach the monk Wuming, Wuming saw that the master had accepted two new disciples, and was originally very happy, and then heard that the achievements of the two of them in this night of penance, naturally they were even more admired, and even they felt ashamed, this person is not only a senior brother, but also has always loved talents, and takes into account the master's orders, for the two little junior brothers are naturally intimate, and immediately asked them carefully about the problems they encountered in the process of practicing martial arts, And he taught his experience in the process of practicing these three martial arts, as well as the experience in battle, without the slightest reservation.

Li Xian was naturally moved when he saw that his senior brother was so old-fashioned and warm-hearted, and at the same time, he desperately stuffed the experiences and experiences introduced by his senior brother into his mind, although most of these things were not understood, but he also memorized them in a rough way. For these things, Li Xian believes that they will definitely come in handy in the future, because it makes him feel that it will be worth at least several years or even more than ten years of exploration.

Wuming is not as unpopular as Zhikong, he saw that Li Xian was so valued by his master and the abbot of Shaolin, and then learned the identity of this person from the abbot, and knew that although the abbot tried his best to avoid traces, but the entire Shaolin Temple has been firmly tied to this person, and the two sides can be described as a glory and a loss, and see Li Xian is humble and courteous, Corporal Lixian, although he is not very old, he has already appeared to be eloquent and strategic, quite heroic, and the emperor Taizong in the mouth of the ancestor Tanzong is quite similar, That's why I tried my best to teach Shaolin secrets.

Li Xian saw that Wuming was enthusiastic about himself, so he naturally knew the elegance when he heard the string song, and became closer to Wuming, and the two had a long talk.

Later, in order to allow Li Xian to practice with peace of mind and not to leak his identity because of frequent trips to Shaolin, Wuming proposed to assign Zhang Wuchen, his most proud assistant and the head of Shaolin's lay disciples, to Li Xian, on the one hand, to give Li Xian advice on his questions about martial arts at any time, and to protect Li Xian's safety, and on the other hand, to facilitate the contact between Li Xian and Shaolin.

For such a kindness, Li Xian's attitude has always been respectful rather than obedient, so he accepted it very generously, and then found Lin Cheng, the deputy warden of the palace who accompanied him, claiming that this person was willing to serve the imperial court and ordered him to arrange for him to enter the palace guard.

Although Lin Cheng was loyal to Empress Wu behind his back, he was extremely loyal in front of Li Xian, and he also regarded himself as Li Xian's absolute loyalty outside, so even if he happily agreed, after some routine inspection, Zhang Wuchen was included in the three hundred and thirty relatives of the palace, and was exceptionally awarded the position of deputy of the fifth team.

Although Zhang Wuchen is only an ordinary team deputy, there are more than 60 people in the palace family guard, and he can only be regarded as the most basic officer, but after all, he can serve by Li Xian's side, and he may not be able to rise to the top when he will be appreciated by his master, so this kind of opportunity is still envious of others.

Li Xian was still very satisfied with Lin Cheng's arrangement, and really praised it, and then discussed the matter of returning to Luoyang.

Lin Chengsu was a big fish and meat in Chang'an and Luoyang Palace, living a comfortable life, and he had long been unbearable in this poor place, and now he saw Li Xian propose to return to Luoyang, so he was the first to speak out in favor, and such an old and sophisticated person, the reason for approval is naturally not for himself, but for Li Xian's consideration, claiming that for Li Xian's safety, it is inevitable that Empress Gaozong Wu is worried about Yunyun.

On the way back to Luoyang, Lin Cheng repeatedly expressed his loyalty in front of Li Xian, and persuaded Li Xian to speed up his pace and quickly rush back to Luoyang, which made Li Xian a little disgusted, but also helpless, only to see Li Zhan of Zhou Wangfu Literature rushed forward and laughed: "I'm afraid that Brother Lin is not only for the king's consideration, but also for your tongue that fades out of the bird, in addition, the younger brother has heard that Brother Lin often goes in and out of a Huren wine shop in Xiushanfang, but he has a fancy for one of the orchids who can sing and dance?" ”

In terms of official rank, Li Zhan's grade is only from the sixth grade, while Lin Cheng's deputy pawn army is from the fifth grade, a difference of three levels, but Li Zhan's father is the hot and powerful Li Yifu of the dynasty, Hugh said that Lin Cheng is a small deputy pawn army, even if he is the emperor of the dynasty, he does not dare to provoke this person, so Lin Cheng can only laugh at Li Zhan's ridicule, and dare not have the slightest care.

At this moment, Li Xian suddenly stopped his horse, pointed to a farmer digging a pit in a field not far away, and said to Lin Cheng: "Trouble Deputy Lin's army, capture this person and hand it over to this king for disposal." ”

"No." Lin Cheng didn't hesitate at all, he promised on the spot, he didn't care why Li Xian wanted to take people, in his eyes, those untouchables were like grass mustard at all, not to mention caught, even if they were killed, it was not even worth frowning.

However, in his opinion, how can these untouchables be worthy of his action as a dignified deputy pawn army from the fifth grade? So he randomly found two sergeants and ordered them to capture the farmer according to Li Xian's instructions.

However, Li Xian's behavior caused Shangguan Tingzhi's dissatisfaction, this person has been surrounded by Li Xian before, and he is also full of good feelings towards Li Xianzi, and he has long secretly determined that he must repay this master well, but this person's personality is just like his father Shangguanyi, and he has always been upright, especially once he is determined to be loyal to Li Xian, he cares about Li Xian's reputation and will never allow Li Xian to do this kind of self-damaging thing.

Therefore, Shangguan Tingzhi dissuaded on the spot: "Wang, like such a villain, he only produces and has nothing to offend, why do you take people for no reason?" ”

Seeing this, Li Xian felt relieved, because what he needed most now was not Lin Cheng's subordinates who were accommodating in everything, but people like Shangguan Tingzhi who were loyal and outspoken.

However, for this loyal minister who dared to jump out to discourage him, Li Xian had to explain it to him clearly, otherwise, he would definitely disappoint the loyal and good people, and it would not be conducive to his plan to win over the future father-in-law.

Therefore, Li Xian just glanced at Shangguan Tingzhi with a smile, and waved his hand to stop the sergeant who was about to come forward to capture the farmer, and then said in a surprising voice: "I dare to conclude that this person must not be a good person, but a tomb robber with ill intentions, if he is not captured, he will definitely be in the township." If the official sign is not believed, you will know if you are caught, and if Xiao Wang misjudges, he will definitely sign the official code and ask for the crime. ”

"If this is the case a tomb robber, he shall be punished according to the law, and the lower officials shall confess to the king, and if the king misjudges, the lower officials shall not be punished, and the king shall plead guilty to this beloved, and shall promise the lower officials that everything in the future shall be in accordance with etiquette, and shall not act arbitrarily......

"Shangguan Dian, please rest assured, Xiao Wang promised." Li Xian was absolutely sure in his heart, so he naturally dared to accept everything, and he was afraid that the thief would run away, so he couldn't wait to interrupt Shangguan Tingzhi's words, and then ordered the two personal soldiers to act quickly.

The soldiers of the Zhou Wangfu were all carefully selected from the guards of various places, and their actions were naturally extremely fast, and they surrounded the thief in just a cup of tea.

Although the thief was capable, he saw that the other party was an official soldier, and he thought that he was not caught by the other party, but he was not afraid, and followed the two soldiers to Li Xian with a calm expression.

"Who are you? Register your name. Li Xian saw that the man's expression was calm and calm, and there was a trace of admiration in his heart, but on the surface he was still very serious, and asked with a majestic face.

"The villain's name is Ni Lai, a local, the villain has always ploughed the fields and never defaulted on rent, I don't know if this adult ordered someone to capture the villain, but what is the misunderstanding?" That Ni Lai had a sincere face, and there was no fake look on his face, if it weren't for Li Xianhui's eyes like a torch and seeing through all the methods he used to commit crimes, almost all of them would have been concealed by him.

Shangguan Tingzhi didn't have Li Xian's experience in robbing tombs, and he didn't know anything about those tomb robbing methods, so he was naturally concealed by the other party, and seeing that the other party didn't seem to be fake, he hurriedly stepped forward, arched his hand to Li Xian, and was about to speak, but saw Li Xian suddenly pointed at that Ni Lai, and said sharply: "Er is a tomb robber, dare to deceive me?" A quick confession may reduce the punishment, otherwise, this king will know that the king's law is ruthless. ”
