Chapter 49: Two Cities

Leaving Dunyang Mountain, Zheng Nanzhu has been silent, in fact, he has very few words, Zheng Yan and familiar and close people will not be embarrassed to stay together for a day without talking, such as with Yingyue Xinluo, one look can explain the meaning, but I am not familiar with Zheng Nanzhu, I have not had much contact with the clan before, although he is said to be his sixth uncle, but in fact, he has already come out of the eight suits, so I want to find some words to pass the time.

"Sixth uncle, what do you say about the law of heaven and earth?",

Zheng Nanzhu glanced at Zheng Yan lightly, probably annoyed that he was still struggling with this topic, so he didn't think much about it and said indifferently" There are two kinds of Dharma Heaven and Earth, one belongs to the category of practice, some monks who pursue the Heavenly Dao, such as the Tianyuan Sect Xuantian Sect Tianshan Sect Luofu Mountain pursues a kind of practice thought, they believe that they should follow the example of Heaven and Earth and practice, so that it is easier to perceive the Tao between Heaven and Earth, that is, the Heavenly Dao, and then master the operation of all things and the heavens;

Zheng Yan muttered in a low voice, "I want to know",

Zheng Nanzhu glanced at him lightly and continued, "At the level of the magic power, the Dharma Heaven and Earth is that the monk uses the Dao he senses to shape the qi within his controllable range and shape it into a specific appearance, shaping is the simplest level, and when the cultivation is the most difficult, it is said that you can control a world, and you are the master of this world. As for the Dharma and the incarnation you mentioned, there are two situations, one is similar to inviting the gods, adding the invited gods to oneself, and the other is to practice oneself according to the Fa; whether it is the Dharma or the incarnation, you can not only add it to yourself to obtain the ability similar to the Dharma Heaven and Earth, but you can also differentiate it to create a body similar to the doppelganger, but the latter one is also lost along with the doppelganger method, and the bloodline power of the desolate clan is not counted, it is said that you need to rely on the special cultivation of the divine soul and spirit, and what you see is the substitute method, which cannot be compared with the incarnation of the doppelganger method at all”,

Zheng Yan thought for a moment and asked, "What will happen if those few Creation Pills are eaten by the old cow?" I heard that there are many kinds of Creation Pills.

Zheng Nanzhu thought for a while and said, " Creation is the embodiment of the way of heaven, is the development and reproduction of all things, the operation of destiny and time, just like the magic is to the true element, the divine consciousness is to the soul, the way of heaven has thousands, and there are thousands of creations, of course, some creations can be interconnected, I don't cultivate the way of heaven I can't see what the creation contained in those few creation pills is like, and I don't know if it will conflict with the creation of Lao Niu's own understanding, if there is a conflict, Lao Niu may die, or he may be completely lost, he can only start from scratch, Baizhang has not yet realized his own creation, so he can fully accept Lu Yin's perceptions and opportunities”,

Zheng Yan muttered, "In this way, those people are not only going to make trouble, but also thinking about the bad old cow's deeds, why?"

Zheng Nanzhu said calmly, "Lao Niu belongs to the moderate faction in the demon clan, and he has always been relatively close to the Zheng clan, what plan did you mention Lu Yin before?"

Zheng Yan thought for a moment and asked, "Are you saying that Lu Yin calculated that someone would use his essence blood to refine the Creation Pill to cultivate the Great Demon?"

Zheng Nanzhu nodded and said, "When the demon cultivator reaches a certain level, he will have his own understanding of the Heavenly Dao Creation, and it is not surprising that some of the abilities of the prophet are not servant."

Zheng Yan's mood is a little complicated, do you want to hand over this divine thought on your body to that Dugu Takihyun? Who knows if this Lu Yin will have a plan that is not conducive to the Zheng clan and the human race, maybe obtaining a part of Mu Hanyang's memory to make himself feel intimate with him is also one of his plans, a plan that lasts for thousands of years, and the characters at this level are really not something that he can approach casually.

Smoke and dust rose in the distance, and in the blink of an eye, a hussar roared in, the first rider may be the captain, and the sign exposed on the waist is vaguely the captain's waist card, until the horse's head is five feet away from Zheng Nanzhu, but the knight and armor may be too heavy, and the horse under the seat begins to slide under the huge inertia, Zheng Nanzhu is just expressionless, and there is no intention of giving way, and immediately the knight's original disdainful expression began to hesitate, and finally there was a foot away and finally the horse stopped with a foot away,

Nearby, the war horse snorted and sprayed snot and saliva on Zheng Nanzhu's handsome face, Zheng Yan instantly emptied all his emotions and became demented. The captain was apprehensive for a moment, and when he saw Zheng Nanzhu's indifferent expression on the other side, he replaced the apprehension with arrogance, and the horsewhip hit his leg again and again, and began to look at this beautiful man unscrupulously, and several horses around him let out weird laughter.

The droplets did not spray on Zheng Nanzhu's face, and was blocked by an invisible qi machine in the middle, Zheng Nanzhu looked at the knight and said indifferently, "This is not an official road, and now is not wartime,

The captain grinned and said, "Are you going to sue Lao Tzu?"

There was another burst of laughter around, Zheng Yan continued to be demented, there are always guys who have no eyesight, can't you see that this is a top master? And the kind with a very bad temper.

Zheng Nanzhu took out a pitch-black iron plate from his sleeve, which was engraved with "Zhenguo", the lieutenant was a little stunned, and the next moment he was beaten away by a force, and none of the other twenty or so horses fell, and soon there were screams around, Zheng Yan sighed in his heart that this guy was really black.

Walking far away, Zheng Yan finally couldn't help but say, "They definitely know your identity, is it possible that now the Xuanwu Army has also begun to reject the clan?"

Zheng Nanzhu said calmly, "Many positions in the Xuanwu Army are held by clans, which will naturally attract the dissatisfaction of others."

Zheng Yan shook his head and asked again, "Is it a bit heavier? At least you have to stay in bed for ten days and half a month, right? This is too bad for Liu Qingshan?"

Zheng Nanzhu sneered, "What is Liu Qingshan, I just let them remember, don't provoke a monk unreasonably, there will be more and more monks who don't buy their accounts in the future, and it is possible to kill people directly when they encounter a few horizontal people",

Zheng Yan thought for a while and said, "You are all talking about the changes in the future, how do I sound like it seems to be very interesting",

Zheng Nanzhu snorted and sneered, "You just have been comfortable for a long time and begin to crave your unpredictable variables, keep warm and lustful, this is the common nature of people, so the superior will always leave a few people who can create hardship for the people",

Zheng Yan sighed lightly and said helplessly: "What you say is too damning."

The two finally entered Huzhi County in the afternoon, and saw Zheng Yuan and Zheng Xinglu in the post station, Zheng Lu didn't give Zheng Yan and Zheng Nanzhu a good face, only Zheng Jian smiled at Zheng Yan, didn't see Xingshuang, and when he asked, he learned that he would arrive at night. The six of them sat at a table in the restaurant and ate, no one spoke, several times Zheng Jian wanted to say something, but Zheng Lu's eyes stopped him, Zheng Yan was a little helpless, isn't it only Zheng Nanzhu Xingshuang who came to pick him up this time? What does it have to do with you?

After eating, they went back to the room to rest, Zheng Yan and Zheng Jian Zheng Yuan were in a room, and the four and a half young men arrived in the room and breathed a sigh of relief, Zheng Jian complained about the trouble of women, Zheng Xinglu thought so, Zheng Yuan was also a little helpless, Zheng Yan took out pine nuts and chestnuts and ate them together, casually chatting about what they saw along the way.

After some chat, I learned that Zheng Jian happened to be present at the excavation of the Xuanwu Temple at that time, so Zheng Yan asked a few more words, probably because the Xuanwu Emperor also had the title of Demon Tianzun, so most of the jade books and some utensils excavated in this Xuanwu Temple were related to spirits and ghosts, among which the Creation Pill Fang was not to mention, there were several sets of cultivation exercises and a few magic weapons that were said to be very good, and according to the excavators, the temple had been looted once before, but I don't know what was taken away.

Zheng Yan remembered the Xuanwu Demon Devouring Great Seal that was put away by Zheng Nanzhu, which seemed to be something flowing out of the Xuanwu Temple, and the white jade plate in the Xuanwu Pool as the center of the formation, which was probably in Bu Yanwu's hands now.

Zheng Xinglu also said that there are more than one Xuanwu Temple discovered over the years, and other temples have been discovered, among which the more famous ones are the Teng Snake Temple and the Gourd Temple, as well as the Sun and Moon Temple and the Cloud and Thunder Temple, and there are even more.

It was all from 20,000 or 30,000 years ago, and at that time the cultivation was still in the hands of the Wu clan, perhaps plus the spirit clan and the demon clan, the world of cultivation had not yet opened, what would the cultivation be like at that time? According to Deng Nan, at that time, the immortals had already begun to arrange some new creatures to come in the world, and some mutated creatures were also produced, and the immortals generally named these newly generated races as Gi, the Three Demons, the Eagle Vein, and so on.

When everyone was about to rest, Xingshuang came back, and when she came in to see that Zheng Yan was safe and sound, she seemed to be a little relieved, Zheng Yan looked at her and found no traces of injury, and she didn't know how the experience was, so she cleaned up a bunch of chestnuts and pine nuts for her, and the few people rested separately.

After breakfast the next day, Zheng Nanzhu took Zheng Xinglu to the enclosure military mansion to handle the affairs of the hundred military horses, and the remaining few people were waiting at the intersection, Zheng Yan was about to ask Zheng Yuan what to do with the leading horses, but turned his head and found that this guy was busy talking to Xingshuang, his face was full of enthusiasm, but Xingshuang looked indifferent, you can't chase girls like this, right? At least you have to do what you want, although Zheng Yan doesn't understand it very well, after all, he has been influenced by Ye Qingcheng for many years, and he still knows some truth.

Zheng Jian, who was on the side, secretly glanced at Zheng Lu, who was standing in front of the jewelry stall, and then said softly, "In the past two years, Baoyue City has been preparing to build a cavalry army, and every spring and autumn will lead a hundred military horses from the Tiger Service Horse Farm.

Zheng Yan nodded, thinking of the previous events on the road, it was estimated that this military horse was not easy to lead, and remembered that Liu Qingshan was famous for his dead buckles and careful eyes, so he sat under the window of a shop and watched the pedestrians coming and going. There are two days to Baoyue City, you must not stay there for too long, you must go out of the city immediately after seeing a few clan elders, it is best to go directly to the wing to look at the mountain, not to mention into the wing to look at the city, everything used to be carried by the grandfather in front, now there is only himself, thinking of the grandfather before the face of so many people and headaches.

The sun was hanging high, and suddenly a radiant young woman walked on the side of the street in the distance, followed by a handsome maid and two strong knife guards, this pomp and circumstance was not small in this tiger service city, and the woman was young and beautiful, not as young as Xingshuang and Zheng Lu's youth, this woman was full of mature charm from the inside out, and her walking posture was also extremely attractive, and the waist and limbs were twisted and the buttocks were tighter, coupled with a slightly cold and arrogant look, I don't know how many people's eyes were attracted for a while.

Zheng Yan watched the four of them pass in front of him and walked into the shop behind him, the fragrant and smoky fat powder gas lasted for a long time, and then he heard people on the street talking, it turned out to be Liu Qingshan's newly accepted concubine, I heard that she was still a monk, and she almost robbed the position of the eldest woman in a short period of time.

Zheng Yan looked at the sun and looked at the gate of the military mansion in the distance, beckoned Zheng Jian and whispered something, Zheng Jian was a little embarrassed after hearing it, Zheng Yan had to say it again, Zheng Jian looked for Zheng Yuan Xingshuang with a tangled face They muttered for a long time, Zheng Yan was already sitting at the door of the shop and eating chestnuts,

After a while, Liu Qingshan's concubine walked out, "just right" stepped on Zheng Yan's hand, Zheng Yan shouted and began to scold, this woman is probably also pampered and arrogant, she glared at her very unceremoniously and was ready to leave, how could Zheng Yan let her go, she was about to grab her shoulder, the two guards shot quickly, Zheng Yan was not polite, so they fought, three or two guards were put down, and the woman was also pulled into the fight by Zheng Yan, and then Zheng Yan was beaten by her and vomited blood, Zheng Yuan on the side couldn't wipe his face, Zheng Lu was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, and rushed over and cried with tears to complain that his brother was short-lived, and was beaten to death by the official's wife, almost everyone on the street gathered around, pointing and talking for a while.

The last few people entered the military mansion, Liu Qingshan was playing with Zheng Nanzhu, and when he saw Zheng Yan, who was still carrying blood on his mouth, his face turned pale instantly, and the whole person was paralyzed, of course he knew Zheng Yan.

So everything was solved smoothly, and in the end, Liu Qingshan sent a few people out of the tiger enclosure with gratitude.

Seeing that Liu Qingshan was still waving his hand at the boundary monument to see him off, Zheng Lu, who had already walked far away, asked curiously, "How do you say this guy will clean up his woman after he goes back?" I heard that most of the concubines can only admit punishment and have no dignity to talk about."

Zheng Yan smiled and said, "It may be hanged, or it may be sold to a brothel, or it may be given away to be a prostitute",

Zheng Lu's eyes widened when he heard this, and compassion appeared on his face, and he muttered, "What should we do?

Zheng Yan grabbed her reins and said helplessly, "You really believe it, Liu Qingshan is not so stupid, do you really think he can't see it?

Several other people laughed, Zheng Lu was still a little unclear, but he didn't really look back, Xingshuang glanced at Zheng Yan, especially on the blood stains on his chest for a while, Zheng Yan grinned, he was hit by that water wave in Dunyang Mountain before, in fact, it was not only the water wave, but also Baizhang's qi machine was inside, it is said that Zheng Yan's recovery power is much stronger than that of ordinary monks, but the injuries of the viscera have never been able to heal these days, and he can't see it and can't feel anything preventing recovery, Baizhang's power is indeed not the power of this world.

Finally arrived at Baoyue City, first handed over the horses to the officials who greeted them, and then had lunch in a big mansion in the middle of the city, there were only three old men on the table who Zheng Yan wanted to call his grandfather, plus Zheng Nanzhu and Zheng Yan, nothing more than to talk about some things on the road in Luoyang, after eating, just when Zheng Yan was thinking about how to get out, Zheng Nanzhu excused that there was something on the side of Yiwangcheng, so he came out like this.

The six people rushed for two days and finally arrived outside the city in the afternoon, the sky has begun to fall lightly, the whole earth is vast, there is an ancient road at the foot, the end of the ancient road is a lonely city, behind the lonely city is the majestic and continuous Daise Mountain, the lead-gray clouds are much lower than those in Luoyang, and I feel that I can touch the city tower or the hill.

When he arrived at the gate of the city, Zheng Yan saw the two huge dragon and phoenix statues on the left and right, the dragon grabbed a book on his left front paw, and a sword was inserted at the foot of the phoenix, the dragon and phoenix looked down majestically over the beings passing here, and then behind it was a sixteen-zhang high city, which was higher than Luoyang City.

Zheng Lu Zheng Xinglu and their homes are all in the city, only Xingshuang's home is in the village on the mountain, Zheng Yan wants to follow Zheng Nanzhu to visit a few clan elders first, Zheng Yuan wants to invite Xingshuang to his house as a guest, stay one night and go back tomorrow, Xingshuang refused very directly, saying that he wanted to follow Zheng Yan, this time only Zheng Nanzhu and Xingshuang applied for the task of Zheng Yan, and they did have to take Zheng Yan to the ancestral hall on the mountain to complete the task, but at this point Zheng Yan couldn't help muttering in a low voice, "You are really responsible."

Zheng Nanzhu didn't say anything, and Xingshuang was even more unmoved, so they separated.

Yiwangcheng is not better than Baoyue City, Baoyue City is planned and built as the largest state capital in this area, and it also bears the heavy responsibility of containing the southwest of Yudanzhou, Yiwangcheng was originally included and is now mainly to suppress the Taihua Mountains, so the population is not much, compared to the more than 500,000 people in Baoyue City, it is like a small county town, although the city is very grand, but the population is really small, it is said that there are only forty or fifty thousand, and the Zheng family accounts for half.

When Zheng Yan and the three of them arrived at a big mansion, there was already an old man standing at the door, tall and straight, with a kind and kind face, it was really difficult to connect the old man in front of him with his younger brother who was Zuo Zongzheng in the Zongren Mansion, so Zheng Yan was a little trance and apprehensive every time he saw the old man.

The old man smiled and patted Zheng Yan's head, and beckoned Xingshuang into the yard, muttering that the food had been heated twice, and the hot water had been prepared, and asked Zheng Yan about all kinds of things along the way, Zheng Yan finally felt a little relaxed, but when he entered the courtyard, he saw a beautiful woman in white coming over, and his heart immediately became a little heavy.
