Julu Roll Chapter 54 Target: Luoyang
People who are familiar with the Three Kingdoms know Wang Yue. His swordsmanship is superb and he has the title of the first swordsman in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. He is also an official fan, and with his own strength, he has become the swordsman of Emperor Xian, and he is also the biggest bodyguard of Emperor Xian.
Regarding the speculation that the shopkeeper Li is Wang Yue, the more Shi Xin thinks about it, the more reliable he feels. He is big enough, greedy for pleasure and wealth, and is in line with the image of his previous life.
Everyone was about to discuss it, when suddenly someone outside the door shouted loudly: "The sect leader has invited Shi Xin, Chen Bing and Zhou Tai to gather in the mansion and discuss important matters." ”
Shi Xin frowned and said, "Zhang Jiao came to us at this time, what will happen?"
Everyone shook their heads, not knowing what Zhang Jiao was going to do. It stands to reason that Chen Bing has officially rejected his request to join the Heavenly Master Sect, and Zhang Jiao respects his identity, so naturally he will not invite him again.
Shi Xin walked out of the door, and the two inner disciples of the Heavenly Master Sect stood in front of the door and waited. One of the older disciples stepped forward and repeated what he had just said.
"I don't know what the sect leader is about? Now that Senior Sister Chen Bing is not in the sect, can you postpone your visit again?"
The two disciples obviously didn't expect Chen Bing to be gone, so they discussed it in a low voice, and the older disciple still spoke: "This matter is urgent, although Miss Chen is not here, Shi Xin can decide on his behalf, please come with me." ”
Shi Xin and Zhou Tai couldn't, so they had to follow them. Before leaving, Shi Xin asked Zhou Yu and the others to discuss Chen Bing's identity and whereabouts carefully.
The Heavenly Master taught his disciples to take Shi Xin Zhoutai to Zhangjiao's Mansion and retired on his own. Shi Xin looked around and saw that the furnishings of Zhang Jiao's Mansion were simple, and could even be said to be simple.
Zhang Jiao was already sitting on the chair, and Shi Xin and Zhou Tai stepped forward and bowed: "The sect leader is well, Shi Xin (Zhou Tai) meets the sect leader!"
Zhang Jiao held his hands and smiled slightly, "The two of you are exempt......! Where's Miss Chen?"
Shi Xin said: "Senior sister has been away for a few days because of something and is not in the mansion. ”
"Oh......"
After the two sat down, Zhang Jiao said, "I won't beat around the bush, you guys will take a look at this first." He took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Shi Xin.
Shi Xin respectfully took the letter, the cover read "Zhang Tianshi personally enlightened", the handwriting was vigorous and powerful, the pen walked the dragon and snake, and the calligraphy looked even higher than Chen Bing.
Shi Xin was secretly surprised, opened the letter and looked at it, and couldn't help but cry and laugh. It's written in the wild grass, and there are many things I can't understand. But at the beginning, he could understand it, and knew that it was a handwritten letter from Cai Yong, the second elder of the Holy Sect, to Zhang Jiao. Shi Xin couldn't even understand it, let alone Zhou Tai.
"This is an official invitation letter sent by the Second Elder of the Holy Sect, which says that the Holy Sect will hold a selection competition in a year and a half to replenish the talents for multiple positions in the Holy Sect. Among them, the most important and highest-ranking positions are the Great Protector of the Holy Religion and the Left and Right Protectors. Previously, the Great Elder of the Holy Sect, Lu Zhi, had personally visited our sect and found many promising young pulse masters, who praised the three of you. According to his intentions, he wanted to invite the three of them to participate in this competition. ”
"Since Keri is about to sign up, since the Great Elder has praised you, and the Second Elder has issued an official invitation, I invite you to come today to ask for your opinions. I think it's best for you to participate, if you can get a good ranking, it will be very good for the reputation of our Heavenly Master Sect, and at the same time, it will also find a good position for yourself. ”
"Other than that, although it wasn't officially stated on the invitation, the Great Elder had mentioned it to me. The three Dharma protectors selected will be the successors of the three elders in the future, and they will be important figures in the Holy Sect and even in the Han Dynasty in the future. After that, they will receive one of the most precious rewards, which is the highest level of the Holy Sect's supreme treasure: the Book of Heaven and Man!"
Seeing that Zhang Jiao said solemnly, Shi Xin felt that this Heavenly and Human Divine Book was very unusual, and couldn't help but repeat: "The Heavenly and Human Divine Book ......"
"Yes, it's a book of heaven and man. The first Holy Sect Master of the Holy Sect was Dong Zhongshu, who was proficient in Confucianism and was also an eighth-rank vein master, and the Heavenly and Human Divine Book was created by him and Emperor Wu. The relationship between the Holy Religion and the imperial court is very close, many officials of the imperial court have served in the Holy Religion, and the Holy Religion has also cultivated many talents for the imperial court, and the two can be said to complement each other. It wasn't until Wang recklessly seized power, usurped the throne successfully, suppressed the imperial court and the Holy Sect with thunderous means, and almost wiped out the masters of the Holy Sect, and the Holy Sect slowly declined. Later, Emperor Guangwu ascended the throne, but the Holy Sect withered because it suffered a major blow, and it has been in a state of collapse until now. ”
"Heavenly Master, doesn't the Holy Sect have a book of heaven and man? just find someone with high talent, and after practicing the divine skills, you can regain your strength. ”
Zhang Jiao hesitated slightly, sighed, and said: "How can ordinary people practice the Heavenly and Human Divine Books? How can people with high talent be easy to find? The combination of the two, as well as the character, martial arts, and loyalty, are all superior, how can it be so easy? In short, it would be good for you to do your best to achieve victory at that time." ”
Shi Xin saw that Zhang Jiao's eyes were flickering and his words were ominous, so he didn't ask any more questions at the moment, but only left an intention in his heart.
"Senior sister is very likely to be in Luoyang, and Zhang Jiao said that it is impossible for us not to go. Maybe this is providence, let's go to Luoyang to break through. Thinking that he was about to set off for the political center of the Han Dynasty, a destination for many aspiring people, Shi Xin was ambitious.
Shi Xin nodded firmly, "Heavenly Master, we're going to Luoyang this time!"
"Very good! Half a month later is the registration time, you should arrange to go to Luoyang as soon as possible." This invitation is the registration voucher, with the detailed address and date written on it, you go back and study it carefully. Well, by the way, I will arrange Zhou Cang to escort you with you, after all, the distance is not close, and your cultivation is not high, so you can take care of it. After arriving in Luoyang, there is our branch over there, and all the necessities of life are very complete, I have already said hello to that side, you don't have to worry about this matter. ”
"Also, you must call Chen Bing, and you need three people to sign up. Finally, Zhang Jiao did not forget to remind.
Shi Xin had seen Zhou Cang before, and his position in the Heavenly Master Sect was not low, but he heard that this person was upright and would not please people, and his popularity in the sect was not very good. This kind of escort task is thankless and will only be assigned to this kind of person.
Zhang Jiao's meaning Shi Xin understood, since they refused to join the Heavenly Master Sect, and it happened that the Holy Sect came to ask for someone, then be a favor and send the three of them out. First, you can more or less win their hearts, after all, I recommended you to the past, you have always come from the Heavenly Master Sect, and you must drink water and think of the source in the future, otherwise you will be said to be ungrateful; second, if they get good results and become a member of the Holy Sect, they can also use this relationship to make the Holy Sect and the Heavenly Master Sect cooperate more closely, which is an important link; third, they are the "champions of the big competition" 's title, the strength is there, it's better than sending three people randomly, and Zhang Jiao is reluctant to send Zhang Meiniang, Guan Hai and others, the backbone of the Heavenly Master Sect, not to mention the first heir Zhang Ning.
"Heavenly Master, since the Holy Sect attaches so much importance to our Sect, and the Heavenly Master loves us so much, I feel that this matter cannot be delayed. In order to show the importance that our religion attaches to the Holy Religion, I feel that we should leave immediately. ”
Shi Xin said righteously and awe-inspiringly, and instantly connected himself, Zhang Jiao, and the Heavenly Master Sect together, as if he was willing to go to the soup for Zhang Jiao, and did not hesitate to die.
Zhang Jiao sneered in his heart: I have invited you to join the religion three or four times, but you don't appreciate it, and now you are connected with this religion, who can't see that you are cheating? But Shi Xin is really good, he is clever, and there is no shortage of flexibility, and he may be a powerful person in the future.
Listening to Shi Xin's compliment, Zhang Jiao stroked his beard and smiled, and he didn't say anything. "Since you've decided to go now...... Come on, call Zhou Cang. ”
After a while, a black man about twenty years old walked in.
"Zhou Cang, meet the sect leader!"
Zhou Cang was born with five big and three thick, black and strong. He has a wide mouth and a big beard at a young age.
Shi Xin and Zhou Tai stepped forward to say hello and say hello.
Zhang Jiao summoned Zhou Cang, explained the escort, and let them out.
Zhou Cang went back to pack his bags, and Shi Xin and Zhou Tai returned to the Lingbao Sect, explaining the trip to Luoyang. Everyone knew that he was going to find Chen Bing, and by the way, he participated in the selection, and they all heartily sent their blessings.
Seeing that Shi Xin was leaving, Sun Ce also said goodbye: "Our injuries are almost healed, and the matter of the Heavenly Master Sect here has also come to an end, so it's not interesting to keep it." Let's go back to Koto today. After saying that, he bowed to Ge Xuan and said sincerely: "Thank you Ge Xian Weng and everyone of the Lingbao Sect for taking care of you during this time, Sun Ce is grateful. ”
Zhou Yu and Lu Su also stepped forward to give a big salute, with a sincere attitude.
Sun Ce took a heavy burden from Zhou Yu and handed it to Shi Xin, "I owed you money on credit last time, and when you find Shopkeeper Li, help me return it to him." ”
Shi Xin took the package and weighed it, this is more than a thousand taels, at least two thousand taels, or gold.
Sun Ce knew what Shi Xin was going to say, so he waved his hand and stopped him, "The rest is a little bit of my care." Immortals can be used as elixir research, repair sects, etc. For our rich Jiangdong, this little money is not enough to worry about, so you don't have to push it. ”
Shi Xin looked at Sun Ce's sincere face and was very moved. The three of them lived in the Lingbao Sect for a few days, and they could see that Ge Xuan's life was hard. Most of the furniture and utensils in the house are dilapidated, and Ge Xuan is reluctant to throw them away after repairing them.
Although Sun Ce and the other three are informal, they are proud to be out of the door no matter what they say, let them sleep on such a hard wooden bed, and use chopsticks that have broken their mouths, where will they get used to it. Therefore, the three of them discussed to financially fund the Lingbao Sect.
Jin Shi Xin accepted it, but Ge Xuan didn't do it.
"What do you want so much money for?" Xin'er, you give them back the rest......
Sun Ce and the other three rushed out of the door, and said as they walked, "It should be the deposit given by our Jiangdong for the pill, goodbye, everyone." ”
Sun Ce said in a loud voice: "Shi Xin, next time I see you, I will definitely defeat you! Let you learn the overlord marksmanship, reclamation style is powerful!"
"There will be a date later!"
"There will be a date later!"
After the three of Jiangdong left, Shi Xin sent Zhou Tai back to Lei Gangmen to pack his luggage.
