months later.

Within the territory of Daqin.

On the spirit boat.

Chen Pi, who had experienced a life and death, did not want to sit still, and he desperately hoped that he could fight back in a similar situation in the future.

If you can save me once, can you save me every time... People can rely on others once or twice to live, but they can't count on others every time, and when they go out, they still have to rely on themselves.

Chen Pi thought about it for a long time, and found that there seemed to be no way to quickly improve his strength, except... Hold the thighs of this third princess.

Chen Pi watched the two of them chat all the way, from the situation outside Zhengyang Pass to the various things in the current court, although they are not very understandable, but at least they understand that this Great Qin is not as peaceful as the Haibei monk said.

"Before the old man came to Haibei for help, the six princes had already set off, and if you count the time, you should have been in Longcheng for a few months."

"Oh? This is the decision of the father himself, or who recommended it. ”

"It's... Among them, there are two elders' recommendations, and the others are just following behind. ”

"Among the recommenders, there is Wang Lao."

"No, Elder Wang Ge barely spoke, and he acquiesced when he thought about it. Mainly Lin Ge Lao and Zhou Ge Lao. ”

Hearing this, Qin Ruoshui sighed slightly, it seemed that this topic was a bit heavy.

"Elder Wang.... Forget it, what do the Haibei sects say. ”

"Yizong and the Demon Suppression Palace are still the same, and Yizong also solemnly gave the old man a token. Other sects have put forward some conditions, but they can still accept it, but that's it. But that day, the Sword Pavilion and the Ten Thousand Souls Villa were simply blood ghosts opening their mouths, hmph, such villain behavior... If the old man hadn't been able to beat him, he would have done it a long time ago. ”

"Well, as expected, these two are similar to the Dragon Transformation Sect, and they can't be counted as righteous sects. However, what token did Yizong give? Could it be..."

"Not bad."

Li Zhongyuan only said two words, and then glanced back at Chen Pi, who was still meditating and cultivating, and stopped speaking.

"Well, it seems that the family is still reliable, an outsider, after all, an outsider."

Qin Ruoshui's words seemed to be meaningful, Chen Pi listened to it in his heart, and subconsciously looked over, and sure enough, the other party was also looking at himself.

"You little clever, you don't cultivate well, you actually stole the sound."

Qin Ruoshui went forward and grabbed Chen Pi's ear, but he didn't use much force, it looked like blame, more like a joke.

"Yo Yo Yo, it hurts, oops, my arm hurts."

"Hmph, my sister pulled your ear, your arm hurts?"

"Ahh

"And next time, huh? You will be punished to continue cultivating, and you will not be allowed to go out until the tenth level of qi refining. ”

After Qin Ruoshui finished speaking, he threw over a storage bag, and there were actually dozens of spirit stones in it.

"Hehe, my sister still loves me."

Chen Pi is determined to hug this thigh tightly, and naturally he wants to try his best to please him. After all, there is a sister who gives herself dozens of spirit stones casually, who doesn't like it.

"Hmph, why didn't you see you being so flamboyant. I knew I wouldn't save you. ”

After Qin Ruoshui finished speaking, he turned around and ignored him. Chen Pi touched his ears, looked at these dozens of spirit stones, and immediately put them into the spirit gathering array in the spirit boat, and his heart was very satisfied.

"If my sister doesn't want me to listen, with the mana of the Jindan monk, the kid will definitely not be able to hear a sound at all, since my sister intends to cultivate, of course the kid must study hard. After all, only by studying hard can we make progress every day. Live up to my sister's expectations. ”

Qin Ruoshui carried him on his back, a smile appeared on his face, his big eyes were scumbag, and he turned to look at him again.

"Oh? Tell me what you've learned over the past few months. If it's said well, my sister will still be rewarded, if it's not good, hum..."

When Chen Pi heard this, he immediately understood that this was a test of himself. I just wanted to pretend it, and I thought of the end of the previous pretending, and I immediately withered again.

"Well, forget it, brother, I haven't been studying for a few years. I don't know anything about the ways of your officialdom, so how can I tell any truth. But..."

Chen Pi deliberately dragged it for a while, which made Qin Ruoshui curious.

"It's nothing, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

"Hehe, the kid doesn't understand any big truths, but the kid knows a sentence, being an official doesn't make decisions for the people, it's better to go home and sell sweet potatoes."

Qin Ruoshui listened, his good-looking brows furrowed slightly, his small mouth pursed aside, tilted his head to look at Chen Pi, and didn't seem to understand what the other party was talking about.

"Sweet potatoes? What sweet potato? Why do you keep saying these things that people don't understand. ”

Chen Pi was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that this was another world, and he would put this immortal cultivation by himself.

"Well, it's a kind of food, sweet, full, abundant, easy to feed, nutritious. Probably... Maybe Daqin doesn't..."

Qin Ruoshui's brows furrowed even deeper. But Li Zhongyuan next to him looked suddenly enlightened.

"Oh~ boy, are you talking about ground beans?"

This time it was Chen Pi's turn to be stupid.

"Hehe, that's right, the amount is full and cheap, and you can feed it casually by throwing it in the soil, well, it's sweet to bake and eat. When the old man was young, he ate it every day, and it has been more than a hundred years, but he hasn't eaten this taste for a long time. Ay! ”

After Li Zhongyuan finished speaking, he sighed heavily.

"What kind of ground beans, Li Shilang has also eaten them."

"Hehe, the old hometown is in Zhengyang Pass, although the land inside and outside the pass is fertile, there are demons all the year round. Ordinary crops can't be grown, but this ground bean, ah, is a crop as big as a brick, and the earth is yellow. It grows in the soil, not afraid of stepping on it, nor afraid of fire. How many people in Zhengyangguan live on this thing. ”

Qin Ruoshui nodded, but he didn't stretch his brows, thinking that he was still trying to imagine what this kind of thing looked like.

"Xiaoyou means that if the officials don't do things for the people, and they do something all day long, then it's better to go home and plant some beans and feed more people."

Li Zhongyuan stroked his beard, with an expression that the old man understands you.

"Ah, yes, yes, Didou. Senior Li is worthy of Confucianism, and he is really erudite, that's what it means. ”

Chen Pi laughed, and finally someone helped him come back.

"Well, even if you're over. This magic weapon will be given to you, the ninth layer of qi refining, how much you need to have a magic weapon by your side, take it. ”

Qin Ruoshui said, casually throwing a magic sword to Chen Pi without care.

"Hehe, thank you princess."

Chen Pi looked at the sword he had just gotten in his hand, and his heart was full of joy. Li Zhongyuan, who was next to him, seemed to have a strange expression, but he didn't say anything, nodded secretly in his heart, and then ignored it.

"Although you haven't been practicing for a long time, you have lived a few years of wealth in Zhengyang County, and you can still have people in your heart, I hope you will succeed in cultivation in the future, and you will not forget what you said today."

Qin Ruoshui suddenly said, the whole tangerine peel didn't know what she meant, so she could only talk nonsense casually at the moment.

"Uh, naturally. If anyone is at ease with the affairs of these people, these people will naturally hold them high. Those high-ranking officials in the DPRK and China have such a high status, I think they are all very good to the people. ”

After Chen Pi finished speaking, he continued to admire the spirit sword that had just arrived, and Li Zhongyuan on the side looked at him, seemingly a little dissatisfied.

"Boy, you... There's something in the words. ”

Chen Pi looked at Li Zhongyuan and secretly said badly.

"Why, isn't that what it is?"

Chen Pi began to pretend to be stupid, after all, whoever said this kind of thing would admit it.

"Hmph, don't mention this kind of thing in the future, especially when I wait back in Zhengyang City. This is where the capital of the country is, and I am not afraid of what people say, but I am afraid of people listening. ”

Qin Ruoshui glanced at Li Zhongyuan beside him, and immediately spoke.

"Master Li is serious, how old is he, how can he understand this."

"Yes, it's the lower official's gaffe."

When Li Zhongyuan heard this, he hurriedly said respectfully, and then turned his head and took a deep look at Chen Pi, not saying anything at the moment, concentrating on manipulating the spirit boat to fly away.

Chen Pi listened to the words of the two, combined with the attitudes of the two before, and secretly had some calculations in his heart.

......

Another few months later.

The territory of Great Qin is vast, and the Jindan period monks have operated the spirit boat to fly for more than half a year, so you can imagine how vast this realm is.

Chen Pi and his entourage set out from Pingyang County in Haibei, and traveled all the way north through the land of the four counties to reach the Seventeen Cities, and used the teleportation array in the city to cross the huge Illusion Plain, and now they have only reached the border of the southern frontier of Great Qin. Except for a little twists and turns on the road, there was not too much delay, and that was it, and it flew away for seven or eight months.

Several people hurried with the spirit boat, without stopping all the way, and flew for several months before reaching the center of Daqin.

The capital of the Great Qin State.

Zhengyang City.

As a holy place for cultivation in the human world, Daqin is naturally not comparable to a small place like Haibei, not only the people are martial arts, but the monks are also very respectful of all kinds of cultivation methods. Of course, it doesn't include demon cultivation.

"I'm going to Zhengyang City in a while, except for special circumstances in the city, generally speaking, monks are forbidden to fly directly, even the princess and prince of the royal family, and the same is true."

Li Zhongyuan manipulated the spirit boat to land downward, looked at Chen Pi's curious appearance at this time, and immediately explained.

Chen Pi didn't really understand what a special situation was, so he could only smile at the moment, indicating that he understood.

"Southern Xinjiang is close to the Phantom Plain, so there is no large teleportation circle set up, so you can only fly all the way. Only the Zhengyang Pass in the north needs to be guarded all year round, and all kinds of large-scale magic circles are set up. The same is true for Dragon City in the northeast, which is not a peaceful place. ”

The third princess, Qin Ruoshui, looked at the tangerine peel who seemed to understand whether she understood or not, and explained to him.

"Oh? I've read the book that the arrangement of this teleportation circle is extremely material-intensive. However, the Great Qin family has a big business, so it's not bad. ”

When Li Zhongyuan heard this, he smiled slightly:

"Boy, you only know one thing, you don't know the other. Even if Daqin has a big family, he can't afford such a waste, and most of the resources are used in the north. Not only do we have to guard against the demon cultivators and ghosts outside the pass, but also the demon beasts and orcs outside the Dragon City Pass, which is also a big disaster for my Great Qin, and it costs a lot every year. Boy, do you know the Shenwei Battalion and the Tianke Army? ”

When Chen Pi heard this, he knew that he wanted to test him again. At that moment, his mind turned, and he pretended to groan.

"All the kid knows is what he learned from the book, and the book given by his predecessors, the kid finished reading it earlier. Naturally... Have a smattering of. ”

"Well, that's good. This Shenwei battalion is an elite promoted from the military camps from all over Daqin, and is only responsible for guarding the capital and Zhengyang Pass. The Tianke Army is mostly selected by scattered cultivators and sect disciples, and there are also Confucian cultivators from the major academies of Daqin and the assistance of the Heavenly Masters of Taoism. He is only responsible for guarding Dragon City and Noon Pass. ”

When Chen Pi heard this, he was curious, after all, it was not mentioned in this book.

"Closed at noon? What's the weird name? Why is it never mentioned in the book? ”

Qin Ruoshui listened to the conversation between the two on the side, and couldn't help but smile in his heart.

"The book that Li Shilang gave you, I think it's been some years, the noon pass has only been established for more than two hundred years, and you have never been to Daqin, how do you know."

Qin Ruoshui paused, and then said.

"Noon Pass, also called Noon Pass, was ordered by the father more than 200 years ago to build, the terrain of Longcheng is not dangerous, in order to ensure that all kinds of materials can be supplied smoothly, although the repair is strong, but over the years, there is still the risk of being captured many times. If the dragon city is lost, the capital of the country is in danger. Therefore, another pass was built outside the Dragon City.

As for the name... Before the establishment of the pass, it was not named, so there were many casualties in the early stage, after all, these aliens would not wait so long for me to build such a dangerous pass.

And the Tianke Army is mostly composed of scattered cultivators and sect disciples, these people's cultivation is not high, most of them are qi refining and cultivating, they have not read any books, and they don't know which one came out at the beginning. Die early and die late, you have to die sooner or later, which is unlucky, hence the name noon. Over time, this name was used. ”

Chen Pi was dumbfounded when he heard this, but he didn't expect that the people here were also auspicious, so he shook his head and smiled silently.

A moment later.

"Third princess, let's settle down here, the old decay spirit boat is further ahead, and the forbidden army will come to inspect it."

Li Zhongyuan manipulated the spirit boat to the ground and talked to Qin Ruoshui beside him.

"Well, I'm tired of Lord Li. I'll take this kid back first, Lord Li, please. ”

After Qin Ruoshui finished speaking, he was not polite, and was about to leave with Chen Pi at the moment. Li Zhongyuan was left alone in the same place.

"Not to mention the cultivation qualifications, do you think that a person as talented as you has, how many people do I have in Daqin."

There was nothing to do along the way, Qin Ruoshui flew away with Chen Pi, ready to knock him.

"Talent? My sister laughed, how can the kid have any talent, but he has only studied for a few years. ”

When Chen Pi heard this, he didn't quite understand the meaning, and immediately began to play haha.

"Hmph, flamboyant, you're a smart person, and I won't go around the bush with you. My Daqin has a population of millions of people, and there are countless geniuses in each generation, especially the people, do you know, where are these people now? ”

"Well, I'd like to hear about it."

"Dead."

Tangerine peel: (っ°Д°; )っ

"In the future, change your appearance before others, at least, don't expose your talent easily. If people know that you can make people realize the Tao with a few words, I don't know how many people will try to win you over and how many people will kill you. I don't want to go to such great lengths to save a dead man. ”

After Qin Ruoshui finished speaking, he carefully observed this son and found that he really didn't have any common sense.

"Although you are talented, you always like to show off, even if you are in a place like Haibei, after all, there are very few high-level monks, at most, let those Xiuzhen families and some small sects make friends to please you. If you let a big sect like Yizong know about what you did, they will find that they can't win you over, and they will find a way to make you disappear.

Monks practice exercises and Taoist supernatural powers, all of which are based on enlightenment, and if they don't know the Tao and enlightenment, they can't comprehend those supernatural powers, and if someone can save them dozens or hundreds of years of enlightenment time, what will they do to you? ”

When Chen Pi heard Qin Ruoshui's words, he immediately realized how stupid his previous behavior was.

"Yes, the disciple knows."

"Disciple? My Yueyao Palace never accepts male disciples, and it's too early for you to call this disciple. ”

Qin Ruoshui glanced at him with a shallow smile, and then pretended to be nothing.

"My sister treats the kid like a master, and this time she brought the kid back, and the kid calls himself a disciple, it doesn't seem to be anything wrong."

"Hmph, I didn't say that Yueyao Palace would accept you, but... In the future, if there are outsiders here, you will call this palace the palace master, in private, just whatever. Hongu doesn't care about that. ”

"Follow my sister's orders. In the future, the boy will be the spirit sword, spirit boat, and spirit treasure in the hands of his sister. Whatever my sister asks the kid to do, the kid does. Let the kid go east, and the kid never go west. Let the kid beat the dog, and the kid will never pick up the chicken. ”

"Hmph, Flim Flam."

Qin Ruoshui said in his mouth, but a smile bloomed on his face.

"No matter what you say, this palace can't let you live in Yueyao Palace, the palace is full of female disciples, don't say it, this palace is only the deputy palace master, let you live in, and the palace master will also say me. Besides, your heart is beating out, your mouth will definitely hook up with those female disciples everywhere behind the back of this palace, well... You can live next to this palace, speaking of which, my cave is quite big. That's it. ”

In Chen Pi's sluggish eyes, Qin Ruoshui smiled coquettishly, and then sped up his speed and flew straight into the distance. Leaving only the pale red light behind him, dotted with stars, looming.
