Chapter 1 The Flying Dragon Inn
Yanze, saline-alkali swamp, from the name reveals a desolate taste, as far as the eye can see, in addition to the desert yellow sand, is the Gobi poplar, Qi Xuansu is in the scorching sun during the day, meditating and practicing qi at night, instead of sleeping.
In fact, the days of walking the rivers and lakes are not easy, what white clothes are like snow, coming and going like the wind, that is the style that only heaven and man can have, under this, you have to endure loneliness and loneliness, you have to suffer from fatigue, and even worse, you have to worry about your livelihood.
However, loneliness also has the benefit of loneliness, you can concentrate on doing some things, not to say that there is no distraction, but there are few distractions, Qi Xuansu all the way to the north, every night according to the Sanren Gong method to regulate their own qi, meditation and rest, Yuan loneliness, qi into the dantian. The umbilicus is moving, continuous, holding the umbilicus with both hands, the Dan fire is warm, the six roots are stable, and the things are forgotten.
Because of the "Xuanyu" and medicinal wine, Qi Xuansu can now clearly feel that there is a strong true qi tiger in the lower dantian qi sea, and there is a blood qi dragon disk in the middle dantian, and the cultivation is invisibly advancing by leaps and bounds, not to mention that there is only a layer of window paper left, but it is also one step closer to the realm of the holy fetus.
Qi Xuansu had been walking like this for six days, and he was already about to get out of the range of Yanze.
However, the sky changed abruptly, and a huge wind and sand came unexpectedly, in such weather, Qi Xuansu naturally couldn't cross the sandstorm, so he had to find a place to shelter from the wind.
Soon, Qi Xuansu saw a big flag erected high from a distance, and in the increasingly fast wind and sand, the big flag hunted and hunted, and the four big characters of the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing were written on it: Flying Dragon Inn.
This inn located on the Gobi is very different from the common Taiping Inn, the main body is a two-storey small building made of loess, there are two courtyards outside the small building, you can put sundries and horses, it seems that there will be a cellar in eighty percent, after all, the northwest wind and sand are extremely heavy, if you really encounter a sandstorm that can collapse the house, you can also hide in the cellar for a while, the flagpole stands in the middle of the inn yard.
Entered the inn, because of the wind and sand, the inn window is very small, so the lobby at this time is very dim, not surprisingly it is a mom-and-pop shop, the shopkeeper and his wife stand in the shadow behind the counter, so that people can not see the real face, but the shopkeeper is thin, a robe is worn on the body swaying, the shopkeeper lady is plump, the convex place is convex, the warped place is warped, and then the perfect interpretation of a mature woman's romance.
The shopkeeper looked at Qi Xuansu and stared.
Being able to run an inn here for many years is naturally not an ordinary shopkeeper, he is proficient in some qi techniques, and he can see at a glance that this young man has a murderous aura.
If a person has too much blood debt on his hands, a murderous aura will naturally form on his body.
It is said that the ghost is afraid of the butcher, precisely because the butcher has been operating for many years, stained with blood, and has a murderous aura on his body, and ordinary ghosts cannot get close. However, this person's murderous aura is quite restrained, just a little red light, and it is difficult to distinguish its depth.
From this point of view, this young man is by no means the kind of person who is the first to break into the rivers and lakes, but an old man.
This time, the shopkeeper lady had already walked out from behind the counter and beckoned: "The guest officer lives in the hotel?" ”
Qi Xuansu noticed that there was already a group of guests in the inn, just sitting in the shadows in the corner, plus it was dark outside, and there was no palm lamp, so it was easy for people to ignore the past.
This group of people are all wearing black yarns, brocade robes, official boots with black faces and white soles, and swords are not left on their bodies.
It was Qingluanwei.
A total of more than 20 Qingluanwei were divided into three tables. The leader was a white-haired old man, sitting alone at a table, wearing a blue narrow-sleeved long brocade robe, a bronze luan head buttoned around his waist, and black and white-soled official boots. The knife hangs from the waist, the blade is about three feet, the handle is about six inches, although it is wrapped in a scabbard, it can also be seen that the spine is straight, only the blade is slightly curved.
The standard Qingluanwei dress.
When Qi Xuansu looked at this group of Qingluanwei, the white-haired old man led by him also looked at Qi Xuansu and asked softly, "Your Excellency is a member of the Daomen?" ”
Qi Xuansu knew that it was the Yujing style of his robe that made the family see the details, but his change of clothes was all in Zhang Yuelu's place, and he didn't have to change it, so he had to say vaguely: "It's inconvenient to inform, I hope you forgive me." ”
The white-haired old man was thoughtful and didn't ask the question.
Qi Xuansu looked at the shopkeeper and said: "A guest room, half a catty of wine, to be a good Fenjiu, do not mix with water, if there is beef, you can come to half a catty of cooked beef, if not, mutton can also be." ”
The shopkeeper said: "The guest officer can rest assured that although our store is small, it is a sincere businessman, and we will never do anything lacking in virtue of mixing water in wine." ”
As she spoke, the shopkeeper quickly punched out half a catty of wine from the large wine jar behind the counter and held it in a tin wine jug. The shopkeeper turned around and went to the back kitchen.
Qi Xuansu took the flask and asked, "How much is it in total?" ”
"Accommodation is seventy wishful money, wine is forty-two wishful money, beef is sixty-five wishful money, erase the change, and the guest officer will give one hundred and eighty wishful money." The shopkeeper has already settled the accounts.
Qi Xuansu put down two small circles on the counter: "Let's make up a whole number, you don't have to look for it." ”
The shopkeeper didn't excuse herself, put away the two small circles equivalent to two hundred wishful money, and thanked her repeatedly.
Qi Xuansu was not in a hurry to go upstairs to rest, and planned to wait for the beef to be good before going upstairs.
Not long after, the door of the inn was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and the surging wind and sand rolled into the lobby.
Then, the group slowly walked into the inn in the wind and sand.
This group of people is very strange, there are Confucian scholars, Taoist priests, monks, and a few women dressed as laymen, nondescript.
The white-haired old man's pupils shrank suddenly.
The person who came was a man of the "heavenly court."
The so-called "Heavenly Court", in order to distinguish it from the "Heavenly Court" in the gate of the Dao, uses the word "court" of the Western "Holy Court".
If the heavenly court is regarded as a person, it can be said that it is the first class of people in the world, known as Taoism, Buddhism, Confucianism, shamanism, and the holy court, and the five realms are one, claiming to have achieved the unity of the three religions that the leaders of Confucianism and Taoism have not done in the past, and also added shamanism from the grassland and the holy court from the West.
However, unlike the Purple Light Society, the Knowing Destiny Sect, and the Lingshan Witch Sect, the "Heavenly Court" does not want flesh and blood and souls except for the power of incense and wishes, as long as real money and silver, wantonly amassing wealth, and hundreds of thousands of people have been deceived.
Under such circumstances, it is mainly the imperial court that exterminates such cults that have brought calamity to the country and the people. In response and revenge, the "Heavenly Court" also had troubles, but most of them were unsuccessful, and they were vulnerable in front of the men in black.
Therefore, between Qingluanwei and the "Heavenly Court", it can be said that water and fire are incompatible.
The Daomen also had a strong sense of the "Heavenly Court" that tampered with the gods of the Daomen at will.
In the Daomen system, the highest is the Taishang Dao Ancestor, which can be seen from the word "Taishang" alone. The rest, such as the Emperor of Heaven and so on, are still under the Dao Ancestor. However, the "Heavenly Court" did the opposite, imitating the human court to form a so-called "Divine Court", in the Divine Court, with the Jade Emperor at the head, corresponding to the emperor, and the other immortals and Buddhas were courtiers and had to obey the will of the Jade Emperor, which even included the Taishang Dao Ancestor and the Buddha. Several others were not spared, and the gods they worshipped were also included.
Underneath this, are the gods.
The Qingping Society is codenamed with word cards, and "Heavenly Court" is codenamed by the names of various gods, such as "clairvoyance", "Shunfeng Ear", and "Golden Boy", "Jade Girl", or "Lei Gong", "Electric Mother", "Feng Bo", "Rain Master", "Mighty Ghost King", "Giant Spirit God", "Nine Heavens Xuannu", "Marshal Tianpeng".
That's all there is to it, the "Heavenly Court" also followed the example of the three deputy masters of the Daomen to set up the so-called Three Officials Emperor, that is, "Heavenly Officials", "Earth Officials", and "Water Officials".
As we all know, there are three major festivals in Daomen, namely the Shangyuan Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and the birthday of Tianguan; July 15 Midyear Festival, the birthday of the local official; October 15 Yuan Festival, the birthday of the water official. These three days are the days of worshipping the heavens and worshipping Jiao, and the great real people and real people have to fast and bathe, and worship the heavens, which is very grand. "Heavenly Court" simply made an incarnation of the Emperor of the Three Officials, and his madness is not to be said, his delusion is already unmatched.
This is also the reason why the "Heavenly Court" generally does not dare to provoke the Daomen, because there are four heavenly masters, four generalissimos, four dragon gods, four gods of the four directions, five dou Xingjun, etc., there are few who do not violate the taboo of the Daomen.
As for why the Daomen did not attack it, the "Heavenly Court" itself was interested in one thing, and the important energy of the Daomen was still on the Gu Immortals and infighting.
Of course, Buddhism is not immune, such as the Five Directions of Truth, the Four Heavenly Kings, and the Eighteen Garans, all of which have also been arranged.
However, the origin of the people who came this time was not so scary, just a relatively inconspicuous "Liuding Liujia".
The so-called "Liuding Liujia", six Ding is the Yin God Jade Maiden: Ding Mao God, Ding Ji God, Ding Wei God, Ding You God, Ding Hai God, Ding Chou God. Liujia is the yang god jade man: Jiazi God, Jiaxu God, Jiashen God, Jiawu God, Jiachen God, Jiayin God.
This time the person who came was none other than "Jia Shen Shen", whose gaze scanned around the small inn, paused slightly on Qi Xuansu's body, and finally stopped on the white-haired old man's body.
The white-haired old man sat still and drank by himself.
"Jiashen Shen" slowly spoke, and his voice was hoarse: "I actually met a group of eagle talon suns, I really should have thrown you all outside to eat sand." ”
The white-haired old man said lightly: "What a big breath." ”
"Jia Shen Shen" squinted at the white-haired old man, and said in an unkind tone: "Report it." ”
"I don't speak black words, I am Qingluan Wei Baihu, Sui Fan." The white-haired old man put down the wine glass in his hand and said in a deep voice.
In an instant, all the Qingluan guards held down the hilt of the knife or the firearm.
The people behind the "Jiashen God" are not to be outdone, with swords, guns, swords, halberds, dust, wooden fish, crutches and firearms, and eighteen kinds of blades.
Imminent.
Qi Xuansu didn't mean to wade into the muddy water, stepped aside, and took a sip of wine.
