12. Choices that make people care

Early the next morning.

The morning bell rang, and the Taoist priests in the Qinghe Palace came out of their residences one after another, patrolling the duty, cleaning the cleaning, and asking for peace.

The martial arts cultivators who went out to practice in the mountains also returned in twos and threes, changing their clothes to prepare for the morning class.

"An furnace establishes the law of the world, exercises the essence of the soul; Gather and scatter into changes, and dare to talk about the mysteries. ”

"Swallowing and accepting qi is a human walk, and there is a prescription to create metamorphosis. If there is no true seed in the ding, it is still like boiling the fire and water to empty the bell..."

The sound of Taoist chanting continued to spread.

Palace Master Chen Heqiu stood in front of the Xuanxin Palace, quietly scanning the morning class chanting of the true disciples in front of the hall.

Chen Heqiu has an old-fashioned and solemn temperament, and now he is over 80 years old, and he is still walking like a fly.

Because of his dual cultivation of civil and military, he has learned the twelve runes of the Rejuvenation Pure Time Rune, and has gone out to wander and left a reputation, so the people in the rivers and lakes give him the nickname: Heart Fu Taoist.

At this time, Chen Heqiu was standing at the palace gate, and after looking at the true heirs for a while, he fell to the direction of the palace gate again.

Not long after, outside the palace gate, there was a mountain gate welcoming Taoist leading a team of five people into the palace.

The members of the squad were all dressed in official clothes, with official swords hanging from their waists, hat-shaped iron helmets, and brown hard leather armor.

This is a typical Daling officer and soldier dress.

The leader of the person, wearing a narrow-sleeved green robe and a two-winged official hat, was wide and fat, and strode into the square in front of the Xuanxin Palace.

"Brother Heqiu, I haven't seen you for many days, don't come unharmed." The man looked to be over sixty years old, but his voice was full of breath.

"Lord Zheng, but you're here for the bandits?" Chen Heqiu smiled slightly, went down the steps and took the initiative to meet him.

"Exactly, now that the rebel army has been defeated, it has been divided into nine main streams, one of which has come to our mountain province, and after being defeated by the provincial garrison, dozens of them have been scattered again, and now many of them have flowed into our Huaxin County." Lord Zheng sighed and said, "Now, this official is anxious every day, but he has never even rested. ”

"If you have something to say, it doesn't hurt to say it, if you can make a contribution, I Qinghe Palace should do my best." Chen Heqiu restrained his smile and said solemnly.

"Thank you Brother Heqiu for your understanding, that's ....." Master Zheng lowered his voice and spoke carefully to Chen Heqiu for a while.

"Do your best." Chen Heqiu's face was solemn and he responded resolutely.

"That's for the best." Master Zheng smiled.

After a short time, Lord Zheng left.

Qinghe Palace sounded the assembly drum, summoned the palace mage deacon, and went to the Xuanxin Palace.

After a short time, many Taoists dispersed and spread the palace master's new Taoist order.

Between Shangde Garden and Houshan, there is an area that is overspaced, and there is a pavilion called the Health Pavilion.

In the pavilion, there are often pilgrims and nobles entering the inscription.

At this time, in the health pavilion, a handsome man with sword eyebrows was sitting opposite a goat's beard.

A charcoal basin was placed between the two, and there was a purple sand teapot on top of it, slowly boiling.

The two are young and old, but their appearance and outline are slightly similar.

"Don't worry, Xiao Qingying's side, haven't you taken it yet?"

Lao Dao stretched out his hand to lift the lid of the teapot, and the rich heat mixed with the milky aroma gushed out, turning into white vapor.

This is the popular salt milk tea in Daling.

In the milky white milk tea, a few red and bright wolfberries are tumbled from time to time.

"I didn't succeed twice before, so I planned to rely on my feelings, but although Xiao Qingying likes me more and more, she always strictly abides by etiquette at critical times, and it's not good to come hard."

The young Taoist is Xiao Rong's second disciple, Chen Wuwu.

"The palace master is about to change positions, Xiao Rong's attitude is very important, he is old, well-connected, and several deacons are looking towards him." Lao Dao grabbed a pinch of salt from the side of the spice plate and sprinkled it into the teapot.

"Don't keep thinking about using strength, whoever succeeds, don't leave flaws. Look for the gap, and then give a small push, and you can easily do it. ”

"What does Father mean....?" Chen was puzzled.

"Today, the palace master issued an order to ask the martial arts disciples to go out to inspect the surrounding mountains and forests. It is also necessary to assign high-grade experts to cooperate with officers and soldiers to inspect all parts of Huaxin County. "The old way replied." Not only us, but also Bailing Temple and Heiquan Gate have to send people to cooperate, and this is an opportunity. ”

"Do you still want to do it from the same people last time?" Chen Wuwu asked in a low voice.

The old man gave him a blank look.

"Stupid! Your mother's side has already made arrangements, don't keep thinking about being strong, with Xiao Qingying's personality and feelings for you, you just need to create opportunities to see her whole body, and then she can still marry someone else?

At that time, push the boat down the river, even if Xiao Rong knows the inside story, he can only endure it. ”

"Father is clever!" Chen Wuwu suddenly realized and suddenly became enlightened.

"This inspection, as a patrol, I can intervene in the manpower detachment, if you have anyone to move, report back to me." The old way finally said.

The patrol is the deacon who is responsible for the security of the Taoist Palace, and is directly under the prison court, except for the three major hall masters and the palace master of the prison court, the deacon is the real person in charge of the Qinghe Palace.

Among them, the patrol in charge of security and defense is the most powerful person among the deacons.

"Understood." When Chen Wuwu heard this, his heart suddenly flashed to Xiao Qingying's follower who had done bad things for him before.

Last time, if this person hadn't reported the news in advance and put the microphone in time, he would have succeeded in his design.

So this design, you have to deal with this person first.

I heard that he has also started to practice martial arts now.... It is also common to encounter danger during inspections, after all, there are rebels who have turned into mountain bandits and flowed into Huaxin County.

Knock knock.

A quick knock on the door woke Zhang Rongfang from his nap.

"Zhang Rongfang, are you awake? Do you want to go to the dojo? A neutral voice came through the door.

Zhang Rongfang exhaled, rubbed his eyes, and got off the bed.

"It's coming. Go. ”

"Wait until I wipe my face." He walked over and opened the door, revealing a young man who looked like a white-faced scholar.

The man was dressed as an ordinary martial arts disciple, carrying a gourd as a kettle in one hand, and a gray towel was hung on his shoulder, which was made of cotton.

"Why haven't you gotten up after sleeping for almost half an hour?"

Daling's time system is a twelve-hour system, but in order to facilitate timing, Zhang Rongfang made a conversion in his own heart, and it is still calculated according to twenty-four hours.

"I overpracticed in the morning." Zhang Rongfang replied, pulled out the wooden basin from under the bed, put the towel in, and prepared to go out to fetch water.

In fact, the real reason was that he improved the Yue type talisman, and he couldn't hold back for a while, so he practiced for a while.

"Can you still do it?" The man was speechless.

"You can do it with Dong Dafang, can I still say no?" Zhang Rongfang smiled.

Dong Dafang is his colleague who occasionally practices martial arts together during these times.

Like him, this person is also a fourth-class barbarian, but because he is not a Confucian household, he is slightly better than him.

After washing up and changing clothes, the two left the room together and hurried towards the dojo.

There are already quite a few people in the dojo who have begun to practice and practice.

Zhang Rongfang and Dong Dafang walked to a corner with a familiar car, and got together with the other two people who had been practicing here before.

"It's a little late today."

A dark-skinned female Taoist greeted the two of them familiarly. Her name is Xu Mingyu, her name is good, but her skin is really dark, and it is rumored that her ancestors have black blood.

"I haven't rested well, why are there so many people today?" Zhang Rongfang replied.

"It seems that it is affected by the palace master's Dao order, and most of the martial cultivators have to go out to inspect. If you don't come to practice quickly, it will be over if you plant it outside. ”

Another woman said with a smile, this one has a slender figure, well-proportioned limbs, a straight and powerful back, and healthy and ruddy skin.

Except for the average face, there are no other shortcomings, and the chest is quite material. Although it is not as good as Xiao Qingying, it is also powerful.

Her name is Li Fuhua, and she is also the first to practice the Yue type talisman.

"Do you want to go?" Dong Dafang asked out loud.

"Yes, many of us have cultivated the five talismans, and the Lord heals, and we also have to go to the team." Li Fuhua nodded, also showing a sad expression.

"I heard that Zhou Ze entered the product yesterday, and passed the first product assessment, and now he is in charge of a team alone, I don't know if it's true?" She whispered again.

"Really, Zhou Ze is one of our well-known batches of talents, one year of blood nourishment, one year of forging tendons, and two months of entry... It's amazing! Dong Dafang nodded.

"I've been practicing the Yue Talisman for two years, and I haven't moved yet... I don't know how long it will take... Is it so difficult to nourish blood? Li Fuhua sighed.

"I've also been practicing for a year and a half, just wait, don't think about it for three years, Zhou Ze's kind is a very small number after all." Dong Dafang comforted.

"The key to nourishing blood is to nourish it, practice martial arts and invigorate blood, eat more, drink more and rest more to nourish. If we can eat better, maybe we can nourish blood faster. Xu Mingyu said.

"Like Tao Mengjie? Take the money and smash it? All kinds of blood-nourishing pills are smashed down, three days of medicinal baths, five days of one big dan? Li Fuhua asked rhetorically.

Zhang Rongfang didn't speak on the side, just listened. At this time, my heart moved.

If there is a better food and a large tonic elixir, it may be possible to further shorten the acquisition of attribute points.

He glanced at the three people around him, plus himself, the four of them were all three no-martial cultivators with no background, no talent, no money.

Dong Dafang, Xu Mingyu, Li Fuhua, all three of them have only just entered the level of a kind of talisman martial arts.

It will be at least a year or two, if not longer, before it is fully mastered.

Because a thorough mastery of a talisman is a sign of reaching the level of blood nourishment.

Otherwise, the qi and blood will not be up to it, and there will be no way to perform a set of talismans coherently.

So I'm now considered to have nourished my blood? Zhang Rongfang thought thoughtfully.

If this is the case, the attribute points plus his own hard practice, at most half a year, he will be able to cross the forging tendon and enter the product.

Thinking of this, Zhang Rongfang suddenly asked.

"If you enter the product and pass the assessment of the Lingguan Palace, you can take a temporary position in the imperial court?"

"To be exact, it is a temporary position in a hundred households." Dong Dafang replied, "But you and I forget it." He sighed.

"Why?" Zhang Rongfang was puzzled.

"Fourth-class barbarians are not allowed to take up military posts." Dong Dafang's answer made Zhang Rong stunned.

Barbarians, barbarians, barbarians, barbarians again!?

"Even if we go up in the future, we can't be suspended from the military affairs department of the local government, and we can only take the carrying path announced by the Jixian Academy." Dong Dafang replied.

"Carriers?" Zhang Rongfang was puzzled.

"It is to follow other officials, to be someone else's bodyguard, bodyguard, etc." Dong Dafang's words made Zhang Rongfang's heart suddenly suddenly.

Only then did he understand why Xiao Rong could easily promote him to a cultivation disciple and let a cultivation disciple be his daughter's retinue.

It turns out that the roots are here?

"Except for the carriers, do we barbarians still have a way to get up?" Zhang Rongfang couldn't help but ask.

After Xiao Rong's attitude towards him last time, he felt that he had to find a way to get out of his current identity.

But one day as a teacher and a lifelong father, Da Ling attaches great importance to the relationship between master and apprentice.

It's extremely difficult to get out of this kind of relationship.

On the contrary, if you just stop following Xiao Qingying, maybe you can still do it.

Therefore, if he can join the post, even Xiao Rong will not be able to ask him to follow Xiao Qingying all the time.

"Yes, you can go through the concession channel of Jixian Academy, but the assessment is difficult, at least the second grade is needed to be suspended, and the temporary position is much lower than that of other clans, our second grade is equivalent to one product...."Dong Dafang said.
