Chapter 3 Wind and rain gather in Hanshan Temple
Ask for collections, ask for red tickets!
============================= divider =============================
Among the horse thieves outside Dongping, there is a widely circulated proverb: 'My sister's whip can't be provoked!' That is, of the widow. The widow's name was My Sister, and she had been married earlier, but before she could get married, her husband died. Under the persecution of her in-laws, she went to the foreign horse thieves in a fit of rage.
Since then, due to chance, she has embarked on the road of qi refining and cultivation, and has risen all the way, and now she has become a female bandit leader.
The younger sister was born with a good figure, a bumpy figure, a beautiful face, and surprisingly delicate skin, I don't know how many men have been confused. However, she has a pungent personality and is also angry, and ordinary horse thieves no longer dare to provoke her.
But Zuo Lingxiao was extremely infatuated with her, and he was very affectionate, and he had to provoke her if he had anything to do, even if he was whipped many times, he also regretted it. Ever since he was infatuated with his sister-in-law, it was common for him to come to see the King of Flower Horses with whip marks on his face.
"What? Are you going to tease the girl again? The Flower Horse King raised his eyebrows and asked, he had always spoken casually to his confidant.
"Hmm...... Be. Zuo Lingxiao looked ashamed, lowered his head and snorted.
The Flower Horse King admonished weakly: "You are not small, do you always provoke her interesting?" You are a good cultivator and have strong muscles and bones, but the nine-tailed python whip of the younger sister is not easy to mess with. Smoke a few more times, and you can't afford to hurt no matter how capable you are! Watch out for the future! β
Unexpectedly, I heard the other party say: "My sister is good to me, I always pump gently every time, and it doesn't get in the way......" He immediately became angry.
"You? Ay...... Never mind! I don't bother to take care of the affairs of you and my sister-in-law, so I'll let you mess around! "That anger comes and goes as fast as it comes. The Flower Horse King frowned and relaxed, and decided not to delve into this issue any further.
His gaze swept over the face of his confidant and drifted into the distance. There, the shepherds, who had been helped by Zuo Lingxiao, were working hard to strengthen the corral under the spur of the overseer.
"There is no difference between all souls! I'm waiting for the Qi Refiner to swallow the clouds and spit out the mist, we have to respect our identity, and we won't be so frivolous next time! The Flower Horse King suddenly changed the topic and warned Zuo Lingxiao like this. However, this has been said many times, and this time it is clear that it has not worked.
Seeing the look on the face of the young man in front of him, the Flower Horse King knew that his words were still not listened to by the young man. The king of the crowd couldn't help frowning. He was also a little helpless about Zuo Lingxiao's sometimes stubborn head,
However, this young man is not only his confidant, but also the descendant of his successor. There are certain codes of conduct, which the King of Flower Horse knows is difficult for him to accept, but he is often like a father and elder, and he points out from time to time.
Now, the plan he had hatched was only owed to the East and could be triggered. This made the King of Flower Horses quite emotional. This time, he pointed to the busy scenery in the distance, and taught Zuo Lingxiao earnestly, "Do you know why I often teach you: Hugh wants to meddle in the cheap business of ordinary people? Don't know, right? Then I'll teach you. How many people are there in Dongping County, and how many qi refiners are there, do you know? β
Without waiting for an answer, he asked himself and replied: "There are more than 200,000 ordinary people in Dongping County alone, but there are no 2,000 people who refine qi. The gap between the high and the low is so big that you may perceive one or two crises from it? β
Looking at Zuo Lingxiao's somewhat confused and somewhat disapproving face, the Flower Horse King smiled reservedly and said slowly: "Look at those shepherds, what is the difference between them and sheep and our generation from them?" β
"They make a living by shepherding sheep, while our generation of Qi refiners make a living from ordinary people."
"The food of my generation needs to be provided by mortals, most of the medicinal materials needed to refine the pill must be taken care of by mortals, and the magic weapons used for body protection and attack also require mortals to collect refined coal and other ores from the deep mountains, and other expenses are too complicated. The cost of what a true spirit refiner needs to take for a day alone is huge, ten thousand times more than that of ordinary people. β
"And our generation of qi refiners practice qi refining and cultivating in a positive manner, do not engage in vulgar karma, do not produce, and all they take and use are provided by ordinary people in the world. As time goes by, will these idle people have no complaints? β
Zuo Lingxiao had never heard his lord say such a long speech, let alone the deep meaning contained in those words. As a son of a family, he has this heart of pity for the world. was once hated by people because of this, forced to run away, abandoned his family and fell into the world.
Now, when he heard the words of the Flower Horse King, the things that he had doubted in his heart suddenly became clear, and then he understood why he had pity and thought about it before.
So, he couldn't help asking, "If that's the case, then why bother with the difference between mortal spirits?" Helping others is just a handy effort, not to mention that it is still my own industry that helps? β
The Flower Horse King laughed, shaking his head while reminiscing about the past. He learned from the look and demeanor of the lord when he came to him, and said with a smile: "You, you, you only know one thing, but you don't know the other!" β
"It is precisely because our generation of qi refiners rely on ordinary people that our generation must keep in mind the words 'mortal spirits are different' and persevere! These people are not inferior to each other, and sooner or later they will endanger our generation; If you treat it to tyranny, you will be in chaos, and sooner or later you will have to jump over the wall and do a desperate riot; In this way, although our generation is not afraid, there are really people who don't know whether they are alive or dead, and they raise their hands to kill them, how can those villains and small things be the opponents of our generation? β
"But as you said, 'This is my own industry', besides, my generation of Qi Refiners is not born alone, how many ordinary people in the bloodline relatives cannot embark on the road of Qi refining? If it is too cruel, isn't it unkind to our own people? β
The Flower Horse King let out a long breath, and now all these words he said came from his lord. Thinking of the voice and smile of the late lord, he felt a lot of feelings and sadness in his heart, so his murderous intent towards Na Hairui became stronger and stronger.
He made a long story short: "Therefore, for a long time, it has been the norm for our generation to be alienated, distant, and concealed from ordinary people. sparsely, so that it cannot shake the heart of our generation to refine qi and cultivate; Far away, let them not see the reality of our generation, fear our generation, hide it, let it see our generation, and revere it. In this way, it is the royal way of domination. What you have done, though insignificant to you, is a mess of the body. β
Speaking of this, the King of Flower Horses gestured to Zuo Lingxiao to look at the figure in the distance, "You save one today, and help another tomorrow, if those people are in danger again the day after tomorrow, if you don't help or don't help, what will those people think?" If you do something good, and the other Qi Refiners are indifferent, what will those people think? Such a contrast must have made those people resentful, insignificant, but infinitely harmful! β
Seeing that his confidant Ai Jiang fell into contemplation because of his words, the King of Flower Horses couldn't help squinting his eyes and caressing his beard, quite proud. After a long time, Zuo Lingxiao came to his senses from his chaotic thinking, and he thanked his father-in-law.
At this time, King Huama Caizhi asked with satisfaction: "What did you look for me just now?" β
Zuo Lingxiao thought for a while and said: "That night, the people who broke the blood sacrifice array of the bloody massacre and killed Zhang Fu and the Wang brothers have not been found by their subordinates. β
"Didn't find it? Then keep looking, shall we? The King of Flowers and Horses raised his eyebrows, a few days ago he had ordered to find out the murderer who killed Wang Jing. But with his understanding of his confidant, Zuo Lingxiao's hesitant appearance was definitely not because of this incident. He asked, "That's all?" You don't have anything else to say to me? β
When the young man with whip marks on his face heard this, he couldn't help but look ashamed, and he replied: "That, I'll ...... in a few days I want to take my sister to Hanshan Temple. It is said that the Lantern Festival Hanshan Temple is lively and fun, she has always wanted to see it, and I want to take her to play. Of course, if my king doesn't allow it, then I'll go back, and my sister will say that I want to concentrate on capturing the murderer, and I won't have time to take her to watch the night......"
The King of Flower Horses knew that what he said would be this, but when he heard what his henchman wanted to say repeatedly, he couldn't help but get angry, and immediately laughed and scolded: "Yes, go and report the good news to my sister!" Hum! β
sent away the young man who fell in love, his successor, and his confidant, and his face suddenly darkened; He said to the sky: "What sister? Ling Xiao, you sink into ordinary love like this, how can I entrust you with great things? β
Then he thought again: "It's time to celebrate the Lantern Festival together so soon, Ling Xiao is quite quick to get started!" But isn't Hanshan Temple Zhang Botao's territory? β
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Hundreds of miles away, in the corner of the cold mountain. There were two people playing a game against each other, and after one of them dropped a white piece to break a big dragon of black chess, he calmly asked: "Recently, demons have been rampant. Rumors are circulating in the county that your men did it. King of the Storm, you have been canonized by the emperor in front, and you dare to indulge the monsters to wreak havoc, do I really dare not kill you? β
At this moment, the person who spoke was Hai Rui, who was ordered by the Son of Heaven to mention the family affairs of Dongping, and the green-robed guest who played against him was the King of Troubled Wind, who was called the king on the Troubled Wind Gang.
The King of Turbulent Wind didn't change his face when he heard this, and he didn't seem to hear Hai Rui's threatening words. He chuckled, and then said with a straight face: "Good for a real person!" This king invited a real person to Hanshan Temple today to explain this matter. β
Hai Rui squinted his eyes and said coldly: "Speak!" If this is really you, you will not be spared! β
The King of Turbulent Wind laughed loudly and said, "I was canonized by the Emperor of People, how could I commit such a great evil? Those things that are not in order are indeed the men and horses on the king's troubled hills, but what they do is not instructed by the widows. β
"You have someone who has been given the magic weapon True Spirit Seal, and you can control all the charms and ghosts of the eight hundred miles of mountains and rivers in Dongping, and now you actually say that you are not instructing you?" Hai Rui's voice was faint, but there was wind and thunder hidden in it.
The King of Turbulent Wind still smiled and patiently explained: "It's hard to explain, those bold and reckless things are outnumbered military horses, and the leader is the general Hua Xiong under the king's account." A few days ago, I sent him down the mountain to investigate a trivial matter, and I tried my best to restrain them with the imprint of the true spirit. But unexpectedly, I don't know which of the ghosts lacking virtue actually taught them to use the veins to interfere with the imprisonment of my true spirit seal. Right now, this king has a headache and is asking for help from a real person. β
"The leylines are shady?" Hai Rui couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and vaguely understood the intention of the King of Troubled Wind to invite him to Hanshan, so he asked: "Regardless of what you said, where are those ghosts now?" β
"Well, there they are."
The Wind King smiled, raising his hand and pointing at a building complex in the distance.
ββIt is the famous Hanshan Temple in Dongping County!
