Chapter 4: Siling Swamp
Seeing Teng Xiang's sharp eyes appear in front of him for the first time, Dong Shao gently stroked his beautiful hair under his chin, and smiled confidently: "Teng Gongzi can put away this temptation, don't worry about my sincerity." If you had chosen to stand on the side of the Great Sima, you would not have resigned yourself from the position of Lord Bo at that time and left the Great Sima Shogunate in anger. You can become the commander of the Tomb Worship Tomb because of the recommendation of the second disciple of the Qianjia family, Da Sima is hanging on the Northern Expedition plan, and he has no time to think about it, so he naturally pushes the boat with the water, in fact, he didn't care about you at all, you should know this very well. And what I can be sure of is that once the Tomb Captain has attracted attention, Da Sima will definitely change the head of the Tomb Commander, and use someone he values or trusts more. β
Teng Xiang shrugged, the crystal light in his eyes narrowed slightly, he had to admit that Dong Shao saw it very accurately, but if the Great Sima took care of him a little, then the Tomb Captain would not have fallen into such an embarrassing situation at the beginning of its establishment. This shows that the Lingwei has not been valued by Huan Da Sima at all.
What Teng Xiang didn't know was that after many strange things in the Northern Expedition, Da Sima had already attached importance to the Commander of the Tomb, but unfortunately, as Dong Shao said, he chose Xiahou Tong, the eldest son of Baimo, who had made great achievements, to be promoted to the position of the Commander of the Tomb, and it seemed that he had not considered the position of Teng Xiang, the former Commander of the Tomb.
"Dong Gong really trusts the juniors, and the first conversation is entrusted with great things. There is really no need to test anything, Teng Xiang chuckled, and began to calculate quickly in his mind, he was not a pedantic scholar, he wanted to think about the pros and cons of this.
"Teng Gongzi doesn't have to be suspicious, if you see it, you can start immediately, you don't have to make any twists and turns to pretend to be mysterious, talk about it, and mislead the country and the people, I have always liked to get straight to the point, and it is more appropriate for me to maintain your status as a lieutenant in the mausoleum. Whether it is another confidant or let Da Sima change the general, it will make things complicated, in this case, it is better to develop you into my confidant, not only to lose the original intention of the war demon and ghost, but also to let you help the revival of the Dong family, and I will provide you with considerable assistance, kill three birds with one stone, win-win and mutual benefit, why not?. β
"Dong Gong thinks that the juniors will definitely agree?"
"I've made it very clear, I chose you because you are worth choosing, we take what we need, there is nothing in this to borrow the womb to conceive, steal the beam and change the pillar, and there will be no sinister intentions to climb the stairs and draw ladders, cross the bridge and dismantle the board, don't forget, you have a good friend of the Qianjia disciple, I also have a daughter of the Qianjia disciple, maybe the relationship between us is not as distant as you think. β
The night breeze blew through the towering courtyard, revealing a hint of coolness, but it also made Teng Xiang more and more calm, the silence did not last too long, he gave his hand to Dong Shao, this time it was not as careful as before: "The financial offering, so that Lang can be supervised, and then the power of transfer is in my hands." β
Dong Shao was stunned, and then laughed, and the hearty laughter spread far away in the quiet space of the Qianjia: "That's it, talk quickly, don't go around in circles, it's good! Since you started bargaining, it means that you agreed." Here, we have time to bargain, right?"
......
There is time to bargain, at least this is not wrong, after discussing the details of how to cooperate, Teng Xiang returned to his room with the confused but happy mood in the clouds and mist, the Qianjia did not change the drum, and the starlight in the sky was extremely faint, so Teng Xiang could not judge the current hour, but he only knew that he was not sleepy at all, and maybe he could have a whole night to think carefully about his future plans. Before pacing out of the room, he was just a poor petty official with no backing and a low status, but when he returned to the room again, he had the support of a powerful family behind him, which was a beautiful thing that many Hansuke Hakuding dreamed of? Yes, it was like a dream.
Teng Xiang suddenly found that the door of the opposite room was ajar, and he saw that Li and a few servants were gathering around the couch, as if they were wiping the body of the unconscious three disciples of the Qianjia, and there was a bowl of hot soup on the table next to the couch, which must be convenient food to be injected into the mouth of the unconscious person, what a virtuous sister-in-law, Teng Xiang did not make a sound to disturb, quietly retreated to his room, and closed the door.
β»β»β»
Teng Xiang thought that he would be excited and couldn't sleep, but he didn't expect that this night was extremely sound, so that when he woke up the next morning with a brisk knock on the door, he was still a little stunned for a while, so when he opened the door, the strong sunlight made him squint involuntarily, and then he saw Dong Yao and Ji Yao standing at the door.
"Get up, Brother Teng, have breakfast first, and then take you to a few places in the Qian's house. Dong Yao grinned.
"Uh...... What about Miss Feng and Miss Xiaopei?" Teng Xiang noticed that it was just Dong Yao and Ji Yao.
"They've been talking for most of the night, and they're sleeping lazily now, hehe. β
That's right, these two girls are not like themselves, they are eager for the guidance of the Qianjia Demon Suppression Road, Teng Xiang smiled disapprerovitously, and his good living habits made him start to look for a place to wash.
"I went to wash on the side of the main hall, and my sister-in-law had already made hot water. Dong Yao guided, the disciples of the Qianjia family were all washed there, and as a pampered lady, she was also a little uncomfortable with this at first.
......
Breakfast is also unusually rich, a bowl of mutton soup cakes, a bottle of rice wine, a drawer of sweet steamed cakes with various delicate patterns, dozens of hard-boiled eggs soaked in the soup beans that exude the aroma of sauce, more than ten dishes are lined up in the center of the square table, there are both appetizing and delicious shallots and vegetables, as well as neatly cut dried fish and meat slices, but it can be seen from Li's somewhat embarrassed expression that this dazzling table of breakfast is also from the handwriting of the Dong family's cook.
Teng Xiang picked up an egg from the soup beans, knocked the eggshell on the table very seriously, and then put the tender white round egg into his mouth, and asked Dong Yao casually while eating: "Why don't you see Mr. Lingzun Dong?" Thinking of the conversation last night, he still felt warm in his heart
"He, he got up early in the morning and went into the study to read the ancient books of the Qianjia family, he doesn't have any mysterious bones and aura, what's the use of reading those books. Dong Yao pursed her mouth, and when she said this, she seemed to have completely forgotten that she was also a normal mortal who had no ability to cultivate the Dao Law and Xuangong.
"Ancient books of the Qianjia?" Teng Xiang's eyes lit up, "What is said in the unknown ancient books?"
"It's just some allusions to the generations of the Qianjia, the history of the Demon Dao, and some tips for using spiritual power or something, mostly trivial and tedious records......"
"Aha, that's it!" Teng Xiang slapped his thigh excitedly, and drank all the rice wine in the bottle in one go, "I also want to read these ancient books, which are exactly what I need to worship the Mausoleum Captain." β
"Is it really possible?" Dong Yao stared at Ji Yao's big eyes in surprise, "Originally, I planned to take Brother Teng to the Fenglu and the Hanging Spirit Room to have a look, and then go to Xiuxuan Valley to find a few sisters from Jinping Yuan to ask for advice, this is ...... I'm going to read a book?"
"Books, too, go to those places, and things come one by one. Teng Xiang sped up the speed of eating soup cakes, "I still have a lot of things to ask for." β
β»β»β»
Whether it was the previous Dong family or the Tomb Captain and his party who had just arrived in the past few days, these new visitors did not have any impact on Xiuxuan Valley, this place was like a hidden land immortal realm in this void realm, even if it was a disciple of the Qianjia family, except for the entry considerations of the spirit test, they were not allowed to enter this place lightly.
The dense clouds and mist shroud the whole valley, and the thatched houses with strange shapes are all over the green vegetation on the valley slope that is not affected by the seasons, this is the mountain village established by the fairies of Jinping Yuan in Xiuxuan Valley, and the slender and graceful shadows of the fairies flash from time to time in the mountain village, and the sound of laughter and the sound of the loom is faintly heard.
At the front end of the valley is a dense forest, which extends inward, and the fallen leaves cover the path, but it seems to be full of colorful flowers, until the depths of the dense forest, the towering ancient trees stretch together, which is magnificent, and on one of the ancient trees, there is a dangling ball, in which a thin and wrinkled face is exposed, this is an ugly little old man, who seems to be listening to the beautiful female voice coming from the gap between the branches and leaves, and thinks with a stern and incomprehensible face: Why with the handsome face of my dignified eight-legged immortal Song Ruoyu, it still can't attract the blue eyes of those beautiful fairiesοΌ
Passing through the dense forest, the fog is still thick, and a figure with broad shoulders and belly disappears in the dense fog, he is the hidden fog monk Su Shengyu, and he always can't help but stroke his beard, but his face is bitter because he touches the thin yellow beard under his chin.
Further on, the trees gradually sparse, the fog fades, a gravel path twists and turns, and the mountain stone forest trees are scattered, at the end of the path, is a sunny and flowery scene, the sound of birds and warblers is endless, a clear spring water embedded like a mirror, the sound of the water is soft, two huge fins cross the water surface, ripples in a circle.
After the green hill in the distance, it is a green bamboo forest of the boss, with tender bamboo and green leaves, which cover each other, elegant and pleasant, and beautiful. These are the two most beautiful places in Xiuxuan Valley, Yanpu Spring and Xuanshan Bamboo Sea, but the owners who belong here are nowhere to be found.
Looking at the northwest from the direction of the Xuanshan Bamboo Sea, the fog gradually arises, and through the faint fog, you can see that the ground with the original lush vegetation has become a sparkling Zeguo water town, which is an extremely large lake, and to the center of the lake, but a small island is mysteriously protruded, but the ground of this small island is potholed, the water has not disappeared, and it is clearly a swamp.
Now, a breath of aura containing the mysterious strength of the wind has accumulated over the swamp, as if it is a thick rain cloud urging down, but this rain cloud is faintly revealing the magnificent brilliance of the five colors of displacement.
The six figures didn't seem to care about the mud and wetness of the ground, they maintained a cross-legged posture, but in fact they were sitting in the air, in the center a yellowish face, high cheekbones but looked radiant in the green robe man was stretching out his left arm, the rain cloud in the air seemed to follow his gesture movement, but he only had this left arm, his right arm was empty, and the long sleeves were softly dragging down.
The grandson of the son of Jinping, Fu Ying, has long been accustomed to such a disabled life, and for the immortal saint who has attained the Tao of meditation, the lack of an arm is not a big deal. Beside him is Fu Huan, who has recovered a white dress in Zihan Academy, as his wife, she has already lost the skills taught by the master after the merger, but Gongsun Fu Martingale has her own mystical arts, and the method of passing on the spirit makes Fu Huan's cultivation better than in the past, although it has nothing to do with the exercises of Zihan Academy, but Fu Huan still uses this white dress to express her attitude towards the master from time to time, the only difference is that she took off the white veil that covered her face, revealing a beautiful appearance.
This is the Siling Swamp of Xiuxuan Valley, another surviving Meditation Dao Immortal Holy Spirit Ze Venerable is sitting opposite Gongsun Fuying, his bare head and the body that is overly wide by the tortoise shell behind him still looks quite funny, but his always hippie smiling face is extremely strict at the moment, the majestic Xuan Li is like a steaming mist gushing out from the tortoise shell, and the black and shiny eyebrows seem to be blown up by a strong wind, trembling.
The other three of the six figures were a man and two women, and next to Fu Jian were none other than the Mang Clan's God of War Thorn Chu and the former Rift Abyss King Princess Yongxing, the supernatural aura accumulated in Xiu Xuan Gu made their bodies that originally belonged to the soul perfectly manifest their real form, and even the roots and green tendons that thorn Chu struggled to urge Gu Xuanjin and burst out of his thick arms were clearly visible.
And the woman on the other side of Gongsun Fuying is Shi Ji, who is known as the fairy of Maoquan. It was another unexpected encounter, Gongsun Fu Ying and Shi Ji were both born in Beiming Tianchi Elves, thousands of years ago, Beiming Sanyou in Tianchi when the proud years, Shi Xi has just refined the horizontal bones, from a Tianchi bottom moss and milk Mingjia fish into a charming beauty, Beiming Sanyou in her eyes is like a high god, and she also admired to learn from them to take a human name for herself--- Shi Ji. These are all the names of beautiful women, Shi is Yuxi, Ji is praise, and Ji is Daji, which can be described as the most famous red face and disaster in the third generation of Xia Shang, but this is not very good for Shi Xi, who has just been gnosis, she was like a little girl at that time with an almost obsessive pursuit of beauty.
(Note: Yu Xi is a woman from the Shi tribe, and the Shi family is surnamed Shi, and Xi Shi has a surname, but this Shi is not another Shi, and the monarchs should not be confused. οΌ
Now, the six masters of Xiuxuan Valley have gathered here, only for one purpose--- penetrating time and space, and looking for the "Chronicles of the Five Directions Qianjun" a hundred years later.
