Chapter 68: A Reluctant Request
In the narrow alley, a figure walked out quickly. Take two steps, run a few steps on the left wall, and climb to the right roof. A few more ups and downs, and in the blink of an eye, they landed on the street.
When Tudu is adjacent to the Yangtze River, the century-old evolution has been quite prosperous. It's said to be a ferry, but it's actually more like a town.
The wind and snow were still there, Xue Zhenjun walked against the wind, and after walking a few steps, he heard the sound of bangs in the distance.
"Bang~Bang! It's safe! ”
Looking through the wind and snow, I saw two lanterns looming in the wind and snow. Xue Zhenjun paused slightly, his ears twitched, and he quickly dodged against the wall of a pavement. Holding a sword in his right hand, he changed his technique in his left hand, and cast a hiding spell, waiting for the two grooms to pass by.
The old man seemed to be aware of it, and he was about to turn back, and a splitting roll was about to pass, and the boss's head rose to the sky, and the splitting practice turned back and caught another shifter, and the shifter fell to the ground with a little scream.
Splitting and retracting, there was a slight sound of footsteps approaching after a while, but it was seven people in the rivers and lakes dressed in night clothes, wearing ghost faces, and holding various weapons.
Xue Zhenjun, who was attached to the wall, seemed to merge with the wall, and the group of black-clothed people examined the corpse, looked around, and the black-clothed man who was holding the ghost head knife first waved his hand, and the seven of them approached the ferry inn without saying a word.
When he walked away, Xue Zhenjun took two steps out of the shadows and looked at the group of black-clothed people thoughtfully. It's really 'people die for money, birds die for food', for a volume of remnants, there are people in the rivers and lakes who attack and kill the Shenji Mansion.
It seems that the rivers and lakes are going to be chaotic again...... But what does this have to do with him? Xue Zhenchuan is not Wu Zhenchuan, he only needs to practice slowly, and when the ten-year period expires, the dantian qi sea will be repaired, and he will have his own cultivation prospects, so where can he learn Wu Zhenchuan to enter the Tao of martial arts?
With a slight sigh, Xue Zhenjun walked a few steps, hidden in the wind and snow, and arrived outside Dangtu County for half an hour.
Jiangnan is prosperous, and it has not experienced war since the founding of the country. The city wall of Dangtu County is broken, and a large number of dwellings are built outside the city. Xue Zhenjun caught a glimpse of a house lit by a candle and immediately stepped forward and knocked on the door.
It was only after a while that the old woman's voice asked, "Who?" ”
"Compassion. I missed the lodging in a hurry, and I don't know if it is convenient for good faith? ”
"It turned out to be the Taoist who was in a hurry, please wait a while."
After a while, the bolt of the door slid and the door creaked open, and I saw an old woman looking up and down, and then asked: "Sure enough, it is a Taoist chief, the Taoist chief please come in, the cold house is simple, and please forgive the Taoist chief." ”
"Good faith is important, and for those of my generation who are cultivating, it is excellent to have a place to stay sheltered from the wind and snow."
Xue Zhenjun entered the inside, turned his head and glanced at the scholar with a wooden stick next to the door, smiled and said mercy.
The scholar was thirty years away, but he was clumsy in his words, and put down the wooden stick, and then returned the salute.
The old woman led Xue Zhenjun to the West House, picked up a little, and sent a bed cover and hot water, and then left with a smile.
Xue Zhenjun looked around and saw that the furnishings of this object were simple, but there were a lot of books. At this time, it is not more expensive than later generations, books are expensive, and if you want to come to this family to live a good life, the scholar is expected to be famous.
He washed his hands and face slightly, did not unfold the cover, simply sat cross-legged on the shelf bed, silently recited the meditation mantra, and only then did he start to practice the mixed yuan gong.
Zhenwu mixed Yuan Gong, as early as the time of building the foundation, it was necessary to open up the second vein of Rendu, and then refine the valley and turn the essence, and the miscellaneous Qi around the body washed the meridians, and when the refining and refining of the Qi was made, the meridians were opened in one fell swoop, and the small Zhou Tian was opened.
Xue Zhenquan swallowed the Jinjin jade liquid, merged his own True Qi, refined the innate yuan in his body into True Qi, and returned to the Dantian Qi Sea.
In just one week, there was a trace of true qi condensed and formed in the sea of dantian qi, falling slowly like fas. When Xue Zhenjun wanted to carry it again, he felt that the dantian was bulging. Beyond the sea of qi, the invisible film transformed by the Qi Ning Pill expanded slightly, and I was afraid that if there was a trace of true Qi incorporated, it would swell out.
Xue Zhenjun slowly finished his work, opened his eyes and sighed slightly. This dantian repair is not an overnight effort, but even if it is a natural root, it has only cultivated more than ten traces of true qi so far.
What can these more than ten traces of Zhenqi do? Pinching the trick can make eight hiding spells, urging the Cold Moon Sword to send out three or four sword qi, can make more than ten small moves, and can move twenty zhang away at a time in times of crisis.
Daomen monks are different from the characters in the rivers and lakes, if Xue Zhenjun is really Qi, he can be on a par with everyone in the rivers and lakes, if there is no Zhenqi...... He is not Wu Zhenchuan, and he is afraid that he can't even fight Zhengyuan with his swordsmanship.
Therefore, walking the rivers and lakes, safety first. When Cao Deping's letterhead arrives, he should rush to Shenjing as soon as possible.
Some time ago, Xue Zhenjun got the news that his father Xue Xun was transferred to Yintai after his term of office, promoted to the political envoy of the three products, and was awarded the right doctor.
In the peaceful years, the Beijing officials were naturally half a level higher than the local officials. Zheng Sanpin is inspected according to the internal and external chapters of the palm, dressed in purple robes, and has a proper position.
It's just that the situation is changing at this time, and Xue Xun's entry into Beijing at this time is definitely not a good thing.
Xue Zhenjun thought about it for a while, unfolded the cover, took off his clothes and clothes and lay down, and fell asleep in a short time.
At dawn, Xue Zhenjun walked all the way in the house, and then he heard the sound of the east house. After a while, the old woman asked, "Is the little Taoist awake?" The old woman boiled rice porridge, and if the Taoist chief didn't dislike it, he could eat it together. ”
"Poor Dao happens to be hungry, so you're welcome."
Xue Zhenjun pushed the door out, smiling, the old woman glanced at it, and suddenly exclaimed: "The Taoist is so handsome, have you ever talked about family affairs?" Eh, I lost my words, I don't know the Changmen faction, and the old woman is talkative. ”
Xue Zhenjun bowed his head: "Good faith doesn't need to blame himself, the poor road has already set a marriage, but it's a pity that good faith is good." ”
The old woman's voice attracted Xue Zhenjun into the hall. When he sat down, the scholar Shi Shiran rushed over.
The old woman said: "This is the old woman's nephew, who will stay at the old woman's house to study, and will be a master when the house is tried in the coming year." ”
"I see, disrespectful and disrespectful." Xue Zhenjun saw that the scholar was not good at words, so he was curious: "There is only one person in the good faith family? ”
The old woman said: "The old woman has her own husband and young son at home, and her grandson has received the errand of the yamen watchman, and the young son also follows to help. ”
The smile on Xue Zhenjun's face remained unchanged, but he was thoughtful in his heart.
The old woman diligently served brown rice porridge, and there were two refreshing side dishes to accompany the food, Xue Zhenjun ate and drank with a sullen head, and ate a round belly in a short time.
He got up and thanked him, and took out a dime of broken silver from his sleeve to thank the old woman for her hospitality. The old woman excused herself, but in the end she was happy.
At this moment, the sound of knocking on the door sounded, and the old woman agreed, and turned to Xue Zhenjun and said, "It must be that the old man is back, and the Taoist chief is at his own convenience." ”
The old woman took two steps to open the door, and when she glanced at it, she was stunned, and there were two dukes standing outside the door.
"Liu Zhutou? How's this going...... But the old man fainted again? ”
That Liu Zhutou said with a cold face: "Aunt Shen, today I am a villain." There is bad news to inform, and I hope the aunt will take care. ”
"What's ...... What's the bad news? ”
Liu Zhutou said: "Last night, the thieves attacked the ferry inn, and Shen Danian and his son were involved and died. ”
The old woman fell to the ground and cried, "Old man...... My son, how is the old woman so miserable......
That Liu Zhutou sighed, and was about to say some words of relief, when he glanced at Xue Zhenjun, he immediately clenched the hilt of the knife and asked, "Wu Nadao, who are you?" Can there be a way? ”
Xue Zhenjun slightly looked at it: "I've seen the head catcher, the poor Dao Xue Zhenjun, this is the Dao." As he spoke, he took out the Dao Mo from his arms and handed it over.
The head catcher will go over, unfold it to first look at the letter and the payment, see that it is issued by the Yunyang Dao Discipline Division, and then look at the description, his face is white and beardless, and his body is nearly six feet long...... The Taoist temple is Zhenwu Zixiao Palace.
Once the Great Servant was in power, the Stitching Monster True Martial Sect was naturally famous, and then Liu Zhutou checked that it was correct, so he let down his guard. returned the Dao, and his words were a little polite: "It turned out to be a true martial arts high way, and it was rude." ”
"It's okay," Xue Zhenjun put away the Dao and asked, "Liu Zhutou, I look at the tolerance of the outside, but there is a big matter?" ”
Without waiting for Liu Zhutou to speak, the tolerance on the side said: "Last night, the thieves attacked the ferry inn at night and killed a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, which is the ...... of the Shenji Mansion."
"Shut up." After shouting the order, Liu Zhutou said: "This matter has nothing to do with the Taoist. If you want to hurry, please leave this place as soon as possible. Half a day late, I am afraid of the blockade, and I can't go for a while. ”
"Thank you for telling me."
The scholar panicked, and only then did he help the old woman up. Xue Zhenjun said a few words of relief, and just left the old woman's house, and when he turned his head, he saw the scholar supporting the old woman crying all the way, and walked towards the yamen.
Sighing slightly, Xue Zhenjun looked for the location of the Yuwang Temple of the passer-by civilization, and was thoughtful when he hurried.
How could a remnant picture lead to such a bloody storm? Last night, those Shenji Mansion fans were all good hands, and they had crossbows and firearms around them, but they were attacked and killed by the seven men in black.
said that the Nine Turns Dan Chengtu could enter the Tao with martial arts, Xue Zhenjun was somewhat unconvinced. Before the Huashan disciples fell off the cliff, they could still cut this picture into nine parts...... Thinking about it, I'm afraid that there is no other conspiracy in this.
Walk slowly all the way, and at the beginning of noon, Xue Zhenjun has already climbed to the top of Tu Mountain and arrived in front of the temple of King Deyu.
This Yuwang temple was built in the Tang Dynasty, after the war, now dilapidated. The inner inheritance is a small sect.
Xue Zhenjun spoke to the person in front of the door, and was introduced into it. Turned to the back quiet room and waited, and after a while, a middle-aged Taoist was about to come in.
"Mercy."
"Supreme Heavenly Venerable."
Xue Zhenjun and the Taoist saluted each other, and then said, "But Uncle Cao in person? Poor Dao was entrusted by Uncle Cao Deping to bring a letter to Uncle Cao. ”
The man hurriedly said, "It's the poor way." He took the letterhead and said: "Fellow Daoists, wait a while, Yuwang Temple is small, and there will be food to be delivered later." Wait for the poor Dao to read the letterhead, and then talk to the Taoist friends. ”
"Uncle Shi, please."
Xue Zhenjun watched Cao Deping's brother leave in a hurry, and then rested in the quiet room. After a while, the Cao Dao people went and returned, and when they met, they said earnestly: "It turned out to be a true martial arts and true cultivation, and the poor Dao was disrespectful." ”
Xue Zhenjun was polite, and before Cao Daoren sat down, he couldn't wait to say: "Master Xue's nephew is a true martial arts cultivator, and he wants to come to practice high. There is a reluctant invitation from the poor road at this time, and I also ask the teacher and nephew not to refuse. ”
