Chapter 6 Learn the Sword in Winter
After years of fighting, the people of Yun Qin needed a period of calm to reorganize their homeland, and in the battle of Chiba Pass, many cultivators on Lin Xi's side also suffered a lot of injuries, and they also needed time to recuperate.
So throughout the fall, the world was calm.
Autumn turns to winter, and the entire Yunqin Empire will usher in a new year.
The Dashenggao sheep's head banquet has not yet been determined, but someone in Sanyin Province has already sent a fat sheep carefully selected by the local squires of Sanyin Province, and on behalf of all the villagers in Sanyin Province, a plaque with the words "Haoqi Qianqiu" written on it.
What Da Shenggao did last winter not only won the admiration of all Yunqin people, but also made all the people of Shanyin Province feel honored.
When the plaque of Sanyin Province was delivered to the residence of the Dasheng and Gaosheng families, in a small town in Nanling Province, a trembling old woman, supported by her young granddaughter, came to the counter of the rice shop of Dadexiang, took out a cloth bag from her pocket, and uncovered it layer by layer.
In addition to the broken silver equivalent to the rice flour that the old woman owed on credit, there were also some copper plates equivalent to money.
The man of Da Dexiang was a little frightened, and resolutely did not accept the profits, and the dispute led to the shopkeeper of Da Dexiang's rice shop, and the old woman insisted on putting the copper coins into the hands of the shopkeeper, and said: " I know that you Da Dexiang asked other firms or money banks to borrow money to pay interest, and you raised money for us, I don't know how many grievances we have suffered in the past year, how much suffering we have suffered, we have been in debt for so long, and it is appropriate to repay some interest, and these silver coins seem to be silver money now, but in last winter, it was our life. ”
After saying this, the old woman and her young granddaughter bowed deeply to the shopkeeper of Da Dexiang, and then left.
Such a scene is staged in many places in Yunqin every day.
When many Yunqin people were able to settle down and no longer needed to live on credit, they expressed their respect for Da Dexiang in their own ways. Dadexiang saved the lives of many Yunqin people, especially gave many Yunqin people courage and dignity, so Dadexiang naturally became the most legendary and successful business house in Yunqin.
Dadexiang's convoy walked in Yunqin, all the way to get the highest courtesy, all the people who do things in Dadexiang face the respect of the people along the way, but also feel honored, and secretly feel that they have to do more for these amiable and respectable people.
This is also a real glory.

"Catch these thieves! Quick, don't let them run!"
"Young and strong, they don't work hard, they actually want to be thieves!"
[Immortal Demon Transformation...
Outside a mountain town in the southern border of Damang, thousands of Damang people with torches chased some fleeing figures in a hurry in the cold night.
These fleeing figures were like chased rats, until they got into the deep mountains, and finally got rid of the pursuit of the reckless people behind.
In the valley deep in the mountains, some bonfires are lit.
There were men in golden armor waiting for the return of these pursuers.
Their armor is covered with many unique Xuanao patterns of Tang and Tibet, there are lotus-like tattoos on the back of their heads, and there are huge figures crowded in the shelter under the cliff not far from the campfire... These people around the campfire are the sergeants of the Elephant Army.
Those who fled into the valley like chased rats, panting with many heavy packages on their backs, were also sergeants of the Elephant Army.
When they unloaded their food and sat down by the campfire, the faces of each of the Elephant Army sergeants were extremely gloomy and they all felt very ashamed.
The strongest army in the dignified Tang Dynasty, which once looked down on the existence of the world's army, was reduced to the point of being a thief.
All the sergeants of the Divine Elephant Army were cultivators who had received some ascetic inheritance from the Tang Tibetan Buddhist Sect, and even if they didn't rely on those gods, they could easily kill the thousands of ordinary people who were chasing after them, and even wash the entire town with blood.
However, they did not even dare to kill a single person, but could only steal like rats in the dark of night.
Because they don't dare.
They didn't dare to let people find out that they were the Elephant Army, and let people discover their traces.
The current leader of the Elephant Army, Fan Minning, was also one of those who were chased by those reckless townspeople, he took a cup of hot water handed by his subordinates, gasped for breath, and wiped off his sweat, but looking at the huge figures huddled together under the cliff, his hands trembled unconsciously.
Qingluan Academy has always been very tolerant of the enemy, although Lin Xi didn't want many Black Flag Army soldiers to die in battle in front of Chiba Pass, and let them go, but he knew very well that the meaning of Lin Xi's last sentence was that if there was any news about the Elephant Army that made him feel uncomfortable reached his ears, he would never let go of the Elephant Army again.
After the fall of the Purgatory Mountain Sect and Ni Henian, and a backer like Emperor Yunqin was no longer a backer, the Divine Elephant Army was no longer strong, and Fan Mingning knew very well that even if Tong Wei, the windrunner of Qingluan Academy, did not make a move, even if Bian Linghan and the demon clan archer who followed Lin Xi secretly assassinated them all the way, the Divine Elephant Army was doomed to perish.
According to the meaning of Lin Xi's last tone, it was natural to let the Divine Elephant Army go back, return to Tang Tibet, surrender to Emperor Damang Fengxuan, and not appear in the world again, but Fan Mingning was full of unwillingness... So he didn't choose to go back to Tangzang, but entered Damang with the Elephant Army.
It's just that you are unwilling to return, and you can see the hope of revenge on such a day when you can't see the light?
Although they can manage to survive this winter, those white gods will not get enough food, and they will inevitably become weak, and they will not be able to use some secret medicine to stimulate the breeding of offspring.
The Elephant Army will not become stronger and stronger, but will become weaker and weaker like the Liukou tribes in Xiyi.
And what made Fan Mingning even more painful was that it seemed that in this entire world, there was no longer anyone the Divine Elephant Army could rely on and could cooperate with the killing of Lin Xi.
The rest of Damang is also calm.
After the Chiba Pass Alliance, although the Damang army withdrew from Qianxia Mountain, the Yunqin army did not cross the Qianxia Mountain and enter the territory of Damang.
In the reckless court, a peaceful change without resistance and bloodshed is quietly underway.
Previously, with the support of the Purgatory Mountain Sect, the Damang Emperor, who had some blood relationship with the old Emperor Zhantai Mang, and sat on the throne, began to gradually hand over the power in his hands.
Some of those who had been imprisoned for their loyalty to the old emperor came out of prison and began to take over some important positions in the court of Damang.
More people in the Thousand Demon Caves hidden in the shadows, the people of the old emperor, also began to surface, and the entire Damang court began to be transformed in full swing according to the ideas of the old emperor and Zhantai Qiantang.
......
In many places in Damang and Yunqin, people cultivated and planted on the burned land.
Many young cultivators in the world, cultivators with peace of mind, do not have to follow the army all the time to participate in the tragic battles of life and death.
It's a whole new world.
Tonglin Town in Donglin Province is the time of the year to make large-scale smoked fish.
Most of the ponds were emptied, many herring were shipped to the central part of Yunqin, and some grass carp and carp were used to make smoked fish in Tonglin Township.
Therefore, the whole town of Tonglin is filled with the smell of fishy smell and the aroma of smoked fish.
A middle-aged scribe in a green shirt is drinking sorghum wine in a small courtyard paved with adobe tiles, with a pot of freshly made smoked fish.
Suddenly, his wine glass fell in his hand.
When he was about to smash on the stone table and shatter, he caught it again and put it on the table.
He looked at the door with a pale face.
Lin Xi, who was wearing a green cotton robe, pushed open the wooden door and walked into his courtyard at this time.
"I can't imagine that I am living here alone, and you will find out. ”
Looking at Lin Xi, who was smiling and leisurely looking at the small courtyard, the middle-aged scribe in the green shirt said a little miserably.
The middle-aged scribe in a green shirt had a small sword as thin as ice chips and as thin as a fish's intestines.
His name is Xie Zhenzhen, and when he entered Zhongzhou City twenty years ago, he used this sword to become the great worship of the Rong family.
This sword of his also appeared in the alliance of Chiba Pass.
After the grand event in Chiba Pass ended, he, like the Elephant Army, knew that Emperor Yunqin and Zhongzhou City could not protect him, so he hid his flying sword and lived here alone, but even so, Lin Xi still came to him so quickly.
Looking at his bleak face, the leisurely Lin Xi smiled and said, "I didn't come here to kill you." You are not Ni Henian, since you can start to enjoy the peaceful life of this smoked fish and small wine, you can also not be bent on death. ”
Xie was really stunned.
"You may not have been the most powerful sword master in Zhongzhou City before, but you are the fastest flying sword master in Zhongzhou City. Lin Xi sat down on the stone bench in front of him, poured himself a glass of wine, drank it slowly, looked at Xie Huanzhen's eyes and said, "You are still the only descendant disciple of Wenchang Sword Pavilion. Although Wenchang Sword Pavilion is only a small school of sword cultivation that is not well-known in Qiantang Province, there are also a lot of praises for Wenchang Sword Pavilion in some records of Qingluan Academy. Among them, there is a twilight sword, which is considered by our predecessors of Qingluan Academy to be a subtle sword path that can work side by side with the Heavenly Sword of Xianyi Academy, but before the establishment of Yunqin Kingdom, no one in Wenchang Sword Pavilion has ever used such a sword path, I don't know if this sword path has been lost, or no one has cultivated it?"
Xie Huanzhen's body relaxed slightly, he heard what Lin Xi meant, and then he took a deep breath, drank all the wine in the cup in one gulp, toasted Lin Xi with a glass of wine, and said slowly: "It's not that this sword path has been lost, and it's not that it's too difficult to cultivate, and no one can cultivate it, but because this sword path is difficult to use." ”
Lin Xi was slightly stunned, and humbly asked, "I would like to hear the detailed explanation." (To be continued)
