After a while, Li Zhen and Zhou Cheng came to the courtyard downstairs in Guanqian City, and sure enough, they saw four men and one woman sitting in the hall.

Lu Wencheng was already there to receive him, and when he saw Li Zhen appearing, he hurriedly greeted him and handed over the tokens presented by several monks.

"Master Horse, this is the certificate of the five immortal masters, they are entrusted by the royal family to come here to guard the city, and other strange people will come here to help in the near future. ”

Li Zhan looked at the token, handed it back to Lu Wencheng, and looked at the five people.

When the five people saw Li Zhen and Zhou Cheng appear, they all stood up, and the leader of them was a man over half a hundred years old with gray hair, and asked, "......Who are the two Taoist friends?"

Lu Wencheng said: "This is the master of our Xuanxin Country, the husband of the princess of the town, he and the princess of the town have been guarding here with the princess of the town and the same door in the past few days, this is the Zhou Immortal Master from Xuanxin Peak." ”

"It turned out to be Li Juma of Xuanxin Country and Zhou Daoyou on Lingfeng!" The half-old man arched his hand and said with a smile, "I was born in Fushan, and I called myself Fushan to cultivate. ”

After that, a burly middle-aged cultivator on his left side hugged his fists and said, "In Shiragaki." ”

On the left side of Ishigaki is a middle-aged man wearing green clothes and an elegant temperament, and he bowed his hand and said, "Stand pine below." ”

On the left side of Fang Lisong, a sword cultivator with a sharp temperament and a long sword on his back, nodded slightly: "In the lower Ximen bamboo." ”

The last person was a middle-aged woman who was a little young and looked like she was from a rich family, and she saluted softly: "Huang Yue has seen Master Ma and Zhou Daoyou. ”

Li Zhen smiled and said: "It turned out to be the five friends of Fushan, who have admired the name for a long time, please take a seat, everyone sit down and talk!"

Everyone said, "Please."

Li Zhen had been exploring the Outer World Valley for a period of time, and he had also heard about the things in the world, and vaguely remembered that these people had already embarked on the path of cultivation more than thirty years ago, and Huang Yue had also cultivated for more than ten years at the latest.

Among them, the one with higher cultivation strength is Jiang Binghua, who is over half a hundred years old, and Ximen Zhu, a sword cultivator with a long sword, is suspected to have the late stage of qi refining, and the others are all in the middle stage of qi refining.

It's just that the opportunities and ways to cultivate are limited, and in Li Zhen's view, the so-called famous master, this is the case.

In the middle stage of qi refining, it is enough to make a name for themselves in the scattered cultivation rivers and lakes, and some people even become famous by relying on the magic weapons and treasures obtained from adventures, and the quality is uneven.

In a warm and friendly atmosphere, Li Zhen said a few words of thanking the five friends for coming to support, and then introduced the situation of the previous few days, and focused on the rest and recuperation of the army of the Shengyuan Kingdom.

At first, when Wuyou learned that Zhao Yi had a magic weapon in his hand, they all looked solemn, but then they were surprised to hear that Li Zhen had taken it by force.

The magic weapon in the hands of these people is at the level of the first to second grade, and they may not be able to win against the disciples of Lingfeng, and most of the time they still have to rely on daring to fight to win.

Monks who have cultivated for enough years will know the theory of karma and calamity, but in the rivers and lakes, they often can't help themselves, and they have to have enough capital to go ashore to wash their hands.

If the other party doesn't have the corresponding level of strength, things will be much easier.

Maybe you can solve the problem without killing the enemy.

Jiang Binghua couldn't help but smile and said: "It's not a secret, in order to hire me, the official family has already paid a magic weapon in advance as a reward, and I originally thought that it was to compete with the use of the magic weapon, but I didn't expect that it would be solved by Li Yuma first." ”

Li Zhen said: "Don't be careless, they may recruit reinforcements at any time, but when the time comes, you can also summon Xuanxin Peak disciples or other loose cultivators to support, and we will focus on recruiting talents after we go back, and when the time comes, we will also help you and other scattered cultivators to establish a Fang City, and communicate with each other." ”

Jiang Binghua said: "I know, thank you Li Juma for mentioning it." ”

Li Zhen was interested in understanding the living conditions of the scattered cultivators, and inquired about the situation he had previously found in the Outer Valley, and Jiang Binghua also knew everything.

Talking about why they became enshrined, when they came here, Jiang Binghua couldn't help but sigh, but admitted frankly: "It's all for the sake of the wealthy." ”

"Li Juma, you also know that although we monks say that we have sufficient self-nature, and that our supernatural powers are attributed to our own bodies, and that we are pursuing a realm that is not false to the outside, how can we do it in the mortal world?

The power of the supernatural power belongs to one's own body, that is the ultimate goal, not the means!

Moreover, within the realm, to improve the cultivation of mana, many external objects are still useful.

We are born in the grass and grew up in the rivers and lakes, and all we can rely on is to find treasures and explore the secrets, and then there are to go to some hidden blessed places or dangerous places to explore. ”

Li Zhen nodded: "Fellow Daoists, please rest assured, since Xuanxin recruits talents and begins to recruit scattered cultivators from all walks of life, it will definitely give all Daoists the opportunity to cultivate and improve, and when the time comes, whether it is magic weapons, exercises, spiritual materials, or other things needed for cultivation, there will be everything."

I will also advise my ancestors, and strive to be clear in rewards and punishments, fair and just. ”

Jiang Binghua smiled: "That's the best. ”

At this time, Li Zhen asked another thing: "Now in the reckless rivers and lakes, there are many Taoist friends who serve Xuanxin?"

"I don't know much about this, but recently there have been rumors that Xuan Xinfeng is recruiting troops and horses, and we have also heard what others said and came to apply. ”

In this case, Li Zhen can ask the country and Fengshang by himself, but the ancestor doesn't care about these specific matters, and it is inconvenient for him to pester Luo Mushi, Uncle Zu and others because of his curiosity, so he simply understands it from here.

I made up my mind that after returning to Wangcheng's home, I would investigate everywhere with my soul.

With the current situation of the Xuanxin Kingdom, it is absolutely impossible to rectify the rule of officials, strengthen internal affairs, and then surpass the Shengyuan Kingdom in terms of national strength at once.

The ancestor's thinking was obviously to find a way from the monks and the strangers, as long as the strangers were strong enough, even if the army was sparse, they would still be able to achieve victory.

After a while, Li Zhan explained all the matters related to Qishui to the five friends of Fushan, and he was ready to return to the royal city with the ninth princess.

Zhou Cheng and Yi Yi will return to the peak to resume their lives, and then wait for the opportunity to go down the mountain to practice.

This experience is all qualifications, and it needs to be arranged and certified by the ancestors before it can be recognized by the sect.

"Senior Brother Zhou, Senior Sister Yi, then we will leave first. ”

"The next time we have a chance, we will go back to the royal city to find you. ”

"Okay, that's a deal. ”

In front of the tower, several people said goodbye to each other, and then went their separate ways.

Zhou Cheng and Yi Yi had their own way to quickly return to the blessed land of the sect, and Li Zhen was not bad, and he took out a loom shuttle-like thing from his bag at the moment, which was the magic weapon obtained from the Yin Changming of the Blood Yan Palace.

Although this is just a means of transportation, it is still quite useful to Li Zhen.

"Qingsi, hold me tight. ”

The ninth princess did as she said, and clinged to her with warm incense.

Li Zhen immediately used the induction of himself and the magic weapon to urge the magic weapon, and a mana enveloped the two of them, and immediately turned them into spiritual light and ingested into the shuttle, and then the shuttle suddenly soared, turning into a meteor and breaking through the sky.

The purple gold shuttle was originally not suitable for carrying a second person, and this kind of use seriously affected its speed, but the speed of the magic weapon was still far beyond that of the magic weapon, but it crossed more than a thousand miles in an hour and returned to the royal city.

Everything was fine at home, and the servants learned that Li Zhen and the Ninth Princess had returned to the house, and came to Beiyuan to greet them with great fanfare.

He said to the Ninth Princess: "The ancestor intends to lay out Xuanxin, it seems that we can't move to the Xianmen blessed land for the time being, and we will have to sit here for at least a few years in the next few years." ”

The ninth princess had a little regret on her face, but she also said: "It is right to share the worries of the ancestors, and now the husband is quite valued, and he also takes this opportunity to save more qualifications, and in the future, he can only serve the public by going to Lingfeng to live permanently." ”

Li Zhen said: "I understand that the ancestor also intends to pave the way for us...... You have also worked hard in the past few days, since you have returned to the mansion, then don't be busy cultivating, rest for a few days, and wait for Lingfeng to send the tea and turnips, I will purify and refine it, and I will fumigate the incense therapy for you and change the Taoist body!

This thing costs a lot, and Xuan Xin Feng can only cultivate a few elite disciples, and it will not be used very little in the future, but we can get the moon first near the water, and of course we can't wronged ourselves. ”

This is a good thing that was originally said, and the ninth princess snorted and said that she understood.

The next day, Li Zhan woke up from the familiar Jin Ping's rosewood ivory bed and turned his head to look at the person next to the pillow.

The ninth princess closed her eyes quietly, her beautiful face was close at hand, she slept close to her neck, and the breath between her noses was vaguely palpable.

Looking at the beautiful scenery of this begonia spring sleep, the corners of Li Zhen's mouth curled slightly, and his heart was also calm.

In fact, Xuan Xin's domestic affairs, how can he really care?

It's just to fight for a resource and opportunity to cultivate and improve, so that he has the capital to protect this peace.

This time, the ancestor failed to be promoted and was in crisis, which really made him feel a little uneasy.

Although the ancestor tried his best to behave calmly, the magic weapon of the big faction and the arrangement of various things one after another made Li Zhen involuntarily have a little ominous premonition.

He didn't know whether the longevity limit that the ancestor told him was true, and he wouldn't speculate on the thoughts of this kind of senior master who had lived for more than 3,000 years, he only hoped that he knew people correctly and knew that she was indeed arranging a future for herself and her wife.

Of course, Li Zhan will not wait for the arrangement in vain, he has a lot of secrets and hole cards in his hands, and he must make full use of them.

Yesterday, he had already sorted it out, and the main things at the moment were fumigation and incense therapy for his wife, changing the Taoist body, offering magic weapons, refining the spirit, harmonizing the secret recipe, and improving the invincible incense.

Outside, there is a task assigned by the ancestors, to visit the outer valley of the world, and master the scattered cultivation and all kinds of strange people!

At this moment, the ninth princess's eyebrows moved slightly, opened her eyes, and woke up.

She adjusted her sleeping position with a little laziness, snuggled in Li Zhen's arms, and asked, "Husband, what are you thinking, with a serious look." ”

Li Zhen said: "I'm thinking about the matter of loose cultivation. ”

The Ninth Princess said: "Is it the incident that the ancestor explained? Now Xuanxin is in a crisis, and if he wants to turn the tables, he can only rely on the monks, but there is an immortal sect, and it is not in accordance with the rules to send a large number of disciples down the mountain. ”

Li Zhen sighed secretly, this is a relatively superficial and naïve opinion, he only saw a layer on the surface, but he was secretly taught by the ancestor and told the inside story.

Whether it is Xuanxin Peak or Shengyuan Peak, in fact, they all consciously find scattered cultivation to replace death, these scattered cultivation are clearly chess pieces that throw stones and ask for directions under the robbery!

Just as in the last years of the dynasty, if enough people do not die, the land and food problems cannot be solved, and the ladder to heaven will not reappear......

However, the ancestor didn't seem to want Qingsi to see the dark side of these immortal sects, so he didn't mention it at all.

Li Zhen knew this, and he didn't break it, but just followed her words and said: "Fushan Wuyou is a typical example of a famous master in the reckless, but in the recklessness, the master is definitely not only the five of them.

There are also a large number of masters who were born in the grass and grew up in the rivers and lakes, which can be described as a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger.

Although I have the mandate of my ancestor and the support of Lingfeng, it is not easy to subdue the heroes.

However, this kind of thing is not done by me alone, the Xuanxin State Government itself has the function of recruiting these people, it is nothing more than to seal the official and make a wish, and the wealthy couple is just a law, and when the time comes, those who wish will take the bait, and those who do not want to let it go, and then consider dealing with those who make trouble. ”

In fact, his real headache is the latter, in the midst of casual cultivation, but a lot of people are unruly and willful.

The Shengyuan Kingdom and the Xuanxin Kingdom are at war, and they don't know how they are going to take advantage of the fire to rob.

At noon, the chief housekeeper Xu Gonggong came to report, but a monk posted a visit.

It was none other than Lian Xiong and Li Zhen in the Outer Valley of the World, who knew the Hearsay Division who guided him to set foot in the rivers and lakes for the first time.

Li Zhen couldn't help but think of what Yang Zhen had told him, the lord of Lianxiong Lian Valley had helped many new cultivators in his early years, and he was quite prestigious, so he was elected to become the principal in the valley outside the world.

He should have gotten the news of the change in Xuanxinguo's policy and took the initiative to inquire about the situation.

It just so happened that Li Zhen also wanted to find him, and after thinking for a while, he ordered: "Open the main door and entertain guests in the front hall." ”

At the same time, he sent someone to find his wife and went to the front hall of Nanyuan together.

After a short time, Li Zhen and the Ninth Princess walked into the hall and saw Yang Zhen sitting there drinking tea with a bright head and a gray hair, but an extraordinary old monk.

Seeing them come in, the two stood up and took the initiative to salute: "I've seen Li Juma, I've seen the eldest princess!"

Li Zhen smiled: "It turned out to be Lord Liangu and Yang Offering, please take a seat." ”

After the guests and hosts were seated, Lian Xiong said very euphemistically about the scenes such as staying in the royal city for a long time and coming to meet him, and it took a while before he finally got to the point.

"Li Juma, I heard rumors that our Xuanxin plans to implement the policy of casual cultivation registration, I don't know if there is such a thing?"
