Chapter 344: The Xinghualing Incident (2-in-1 Chapter)
In seven years, the world has changed dramatically, and so has the world.
With Chang Wuhou and the queen mother inside and outside, they completely controlled the situation in the Southern Wilderness. After the Tiger Roar Pass was practiced by the national teacher, the Shenguan advanced five hundred miles to the south, and placed the Black Cloud Plain and the Xuanji Demon Dao Mountain Gate and other places behind the Tiger Roar Pass.
Not only that, but the other eleven checkpoints also began to advance towards the Southern Wilderness, expanding the territory of the Yongliang Erzhou in Chixian Shenzhou.
However, this also creates an extremely embarrassing phenomenon.
Among the nine states, Yanzhou and Qingzhou are adjacent to the East China Sea and surrounded by other large states, so they cannot expand their territory. On the contrary, Yongzhou, Liangzhou, and Jingzhou continued to expand their land and annex the Eastern Wilderness and the Southern Wilderness, making the southern part of the Kyushu pattern more and more bloated.
According to the prophecy of the insightful. In the future, when the current dynasty is turbulent and the new dynasty is re-established, it will follow the example of its predecessors to re-establish Kyushu and re-plan the territory of Kyushu.
At present, the inner city of the original Tiger Roar Pass has become the traffic artery of the southern wilderness, and it has been renamed Tianyun City.
As for those businessmen who had the vision to invest in Tiger Roar Pass earlier, they took the opportunity to expand their power. And with the help of the specialties of the Southern Wilderness and the trade of Middle Earth, the business is becoming more and more prosperous. Among them, Renjia Commercial Bank has the greatest momentum. The "Shennong Rice" they launched was once selected as the Royal Tribute Rice.
Ren Kui grew up when his own business was making money.
On this day, his school organized a spring outing and arranged for a group of young noble sons to go on a trip in Xinghualing in the southern suburbs.
Pink spring apricots bloom all over the apricot blossom ridge, and it is said that a fairy planted them with great magic power a few years ago.
"Not surprisingly, this should have been done by Aunt Yingchun. ”
Ren Kui sat on the big bluestone by the stream, tilting his head to watch the scenery.
In the middle of the apricot blossom forest, there is a gurgling stream flowing through the river. The water is crystal clear, and you can see the smooth pebbles at the bottom of the river.
"Hey, Ren Kui. Let's come here to fetch water, not for you to sit on a stone and watch the water. Under the stone, Li Yun held a small bucket in both hands and called out to his companions.
Ren Kui glanced down and said lazily, "Let's work is what it means." Is it true that you can expect a group of seven-year-old children to make a fire and cook?
As the largest city to connect with the Southern Wilderness, there are a large number of barbarian slaves in Tianyun City. Their academy raised a group of barbarian slaves.
"You-" Li Yun said helplessly: "You are too unsociable." Uncle Ren said that letting you study in the school is to let you understand interpersonal relationships. If you don't go to work, how can you get along with those people when you go back?"
"Cut! What's the use of this mortal interpersonal relationship?" Ren Kui disagreed: "We are people who are destined to enter the immortal path. There is nothing to talk about with these mortals, it is better to meditate and practice with this kung fu and build a foundation as soon as possible!"
For as long as he can remember, Ren Kui has known that he is different from others.
He can see things that children his age can't. The immortals and beasts roaming in the clear sky, the ghosts and spirits walking at night, and even the fairy wood demons on the Xinghua Ridge right now......
Ren Kui knows that he is by no means a person who has lived in the world for a long time.
In this group of students in the academy, only Li Yun and Bai Shou, who also have "spiritual vision", are his companions.
Li Yun: "If you want to say that, you might as well go back and talk to Grandpa Ren Zhao." ”
Ren Kui immediately shut up.
Under his observation, a cultivator of his own water. is not a successful immortal family, it is a flower essence that has achieved cultivation, but the old man Ren Zhao is a mortal.
But Ren Zhao is his own family, and in Ren Kui's heart, he is naturally different from other mortals.
When he felt that his family took the initiative to hide the old man and maintain the worldview of mortals for the old man, Ren Kui also took the initiative to join in and never talked to Ren Zhao about cultivation.
"Forget it, I won't tell you. We're going to fetch three buckets of water, and we'll leave it to you!"
After speaking, Ren Kui sat on the big stone and meditated and practiced.
Seeing this scene, Li Yun desperately hoped that Bai Shou would come back from the north as soon as possible. Without Bai Shou, he can't handle this little demon star.
Li Yun and the three of them grew up together. Li Yun's family is in Tianyun City, and his father Li Fan is the chief soldier and is in charge of this place. And Bai Shou was fostered in Sanshitang since he was a child because of the Taoist body, and he grew up with Ren Kui, and the relationship was the most intimate.
But Bai Shou is a member of the Bai family after all, and he spends a few months every year going back to Bailu Pavilion to visit three generations of elders. Therefore, when he was away, the matter of taking care of Ren Kui was handed over to Li Yun.
But no matter how tactful Li Yun is, he is only a seven-year-old child in the end, how can he control this lawless little demon star.
"Practicing here, aren't you afraid of being seen by others?"
"Who reads? And they don't understand. Ren Kui didn't care: "I want to cultivate quickly, and strive to build a foundation as soon as possible, so that the second uncle will teach me the real immortal method." ”
In the past few years, Ren Hong has visited Tianyun City with his true face and played with Ren Li, who Lu Qingyuan pretended to be.
How can Bai Shou, Ren Kui, and Li Yun see the flaws?
Killed by a group of adults.
Ren Hongming justifiably used his face to show up, accepted Li Yun as an apprentice, and let Bai Shou inherit his senior brother Lingshouzi Taoism, and persuaded "Ren Li" to send Ren Kui to another senior brother, Master Qingxuan.
Therefore, the three little ones are all Yuqing Taoism, and Ren Hong left a copy of "The Twelve Jade Towers Golden Que Law" for them to practice.
This Qi Alchemy is divided into twelve layers, and it belongs to the Yuqing lineage. Six layers of refining, six layers of fetal breath, and its consummation realm is to build a foundation.
Ren Hong promised to the three small ones: the first of the three to build the foundation of the top grade will be rewarded with a magic weapon. And the real initiation of the path begins after the foundation is built.
Li Yun saw that Ren Kui had started to practice, so he could only fetch water and return to the camp by himself.
"Be careful, come over early for dinner. Although the food here is not suitable for you and me, we can't stop eating. Otherwise, the brutes should be punished. ”
"Don't worry, I understand. ”
Their school brings together many children of officials, who have been pampered since childhood. Even if he is wronged in the school, and his parents come to him, the head of the house will apologize with a smile. And when they turned their heads, the brute servants who neglected the students were going to be beaten to death.
Even if the students themselves make mistakes, the only ones who will be punished for their crimes can only be those barbarian slaves.
Li Yun carried the bucket back, turned back the water twice, and then stood in the camp with a group of classmates, directing the barbarian slaves to make a fire and cook.
Seeing those barbarian slaves with blank expressions, Li Yun sighed in his heart.
But he understands that this is not something he can change.
This group of barbarian slaves looked innocent, but their parents and ancestors fought against the army of Chang Wuhou as barbarians. Many of the people on the Tiger Roar Pass died at their hands. According to his father, he was almost killed by barbarians several times back then, and it was his aunt who helped.
There is a blood feud between the barbarians and the Tiger Roar Pass. This group of children of official eunuchs has been indoctrinated with the idea of "barbarian slaves and non-humans" since childhood.
Li Yun could see from a distance that there were two children of the officer's family next to him, scolding a slave who was slow to chop wood.
"No wonder Ren Kui is not happy to come over. This group of people is indeed not all the way. ”
But when these classmates came over, Li Yun immediately put on a smiling face. He didn't show his father's official authority at all, and faced every classmate kindly.
The three children grew up together, but their tempers are completely different.
Among the three, Bai Shou is the oldest, the most well-behaved and sensible. Children who belong to other people's families are praised by "Ren Li" all day long.
Li Yun acts sleekly and sophisticated, but he doesn't like to provoke right and wrong the most.
As for Ren Kui, he is the youngest, but he loves to cause trouble the most. Among the three of them, he also made the fastest progress in his cultivation, and he had entered the third level of Yuqing's Qi Practice.
Not long after, Ren Kui, who had been running Tianxuangong for three weeks, walked back by himself.
Looking at the smoke rising not far away, he pouted and said, "It seems that I came back early?"
"Now that you're back, sit down. Li Yun motioned to the servant behind him to bring the fruit basket: "When I came out, my mother prepared a lot of melons and fruits for me, you can eat them with me." ”
Because of their cultivation, the two of them don't like the meals prepared by the school, and there is too little spiritual energy essence in them.
Ren Kui picked up a peach and sniffed it: "This is the peach in my house?"
"Yes, your property. ”
The various melons, fruits, and rice grains produced by the Ren family firm all contain a little aura, which is suitable for low-level monks to eat. Therefore, the Ren family's industry has shifted from mortals to immortals, and they have begun to place orders with some nearby cultivation sects to supply grain and fruits.
While the two were talking, two female classmates came to talk to them.
Li Yun's family is illustrious, Ren Kui's family is rich, and the girls have to be instructed by their elders to have a good relationship with the two of them.
However, Ren Kui kept his face strained all day long, and although Li Yun smiled, he also pushed away the kindness of these girls as if he was Tai Chi.
"I say, you're smiling all day. Aren't you tired?"
"Of course tired. When facing Ren Kui alone, the smile on Li Yun's face dissipated, revealing his true temperament: "But the relationship is like this, if you can have one more friend, you will have one less enemy." I don't ask these friends to be sincere, as long as they don't stab them in the back. ”
"The second uncle taught you again?"
"Master once took me to the casino to watch those adults behave and figure it out for themselves. ”
In the words, Li Yun admired his teacher "Ren Hong" very much. Every time Ren Hong sees him, he will teach some life philosophy and behave in the world.
Suddenly, Ren Kui stood up. Walk over to the two girls who had just accosted him.
"Huh, when did this kid get his senses?" Li Yunzheng was surprised, but saw Ren Kui come back again.
"You just ...... this"
"I saw that this little demon was on top of Sun Xiaoqing's head, so I grabbed it directly. ”
Li Yun glanced over there, because Ren Kui grabbed the top of Sun Xiaoqing's head, the girl's face was flushed, and she was being teased by a group of female classmates.
It's a pity that this kid's attention is not on the girl, but on this little earth spirit.
His gaze returned to Ren Kui, who was teasing the jazzanine in his palm.
There was a shaking feather on the top of the pimple, and it shook and swayed.
Ren Kui teased a few times and sent the little earth spirit aside: "Leave quickly, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"
The earth spirit fell to the ground and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Looking into the distance, there are countless five-colored spirits in the apricot blossom forest, all of which are transformed by the essence of the five elements.
"I feel that the life of these spirits is more suitable for me than the intrigues of mortals. ”
"What are you talking nonsense, we are human races, and we are not born elves. This interpersonal relationship can't be given up casually. ”
Ren Kui shrugged and didn't continue to say anything in front of Li Yun.
The two had eaten, and Ren Kui sneaked away during the nap and ran to Baixi to play in the water alone.
Lying in the water and drifting with the current, Ren Kui felt the flow of the stream, and from time to time he could hear the whispers of the spirits on both sides of the river.
In this harmonious heaven and earth nature, the jade pure qi in his body grew at a uniform speed.
Suddenly, a spiritual aperture suddenly opened up, stepping into the fourth layer of the Yuqing Qi Cultivation Method.
"Finally broke through, and the next layer was the fifth layer. When I wait for the seventh layer, I can practice my innate true qi!"
"The Twelve Jade Towers Golden Que Method" is a foundation building method rebuilt by Ren Hong according to his own cultivation, integrating the Taiqing "Xiaolou Flying Sword Sutra" and many Yuqing Heavenly Calligraphy Methods.
This foundation-building method is much more troublesome than the foundation-building practice of Kunlun Longshouyan. This is already comparable to the original version of the "Nine Turns Xuangong" foundation building chapter, and the difficulty coefficient is one, which is several times that of the general foundation building method.
But for the three little ones, this extremely difficult foundation building method is just right. After all, the three little ones have been getting the spirit beast milk and the three-light divine water since they were young, and they all have a hundred veins. Let them practice the ordinary version of the foundation building method, I am afraid that it will not be a few days before they can step into the foundation building realm and cause trouble outside all day long.
So, Ren Hong pondered and spent a year finalizing the Twelve Jade Buildings Method, and its foundation building grade is not inferior to the foundation building chapter of "Nine Turns Xuangong". It can transform any Yuqing Heavenly Book, including Ren Hong's "Jade Void Heavenly Treasure Book".
But the three little ones didn't know, they only thought that their qualifications were mediocre, and the road to immortality was difficult, so they could only practice hard every day.
Feeling the flow of true qi, Ren Kui was intoxicated with the grace of cultivation and enhancement.
Suddenly, he woke up and looked around.
"Oops, I forgot I was in the water!"
He descended the stream and landed directly on the whitewater beach below.
After thinking about it, he simply sat in the water.
Grandpa Ren Zhao said that the fish sauce in the house was almost finished. I remember that the white brook fish is a specialty here, why don't I catch some for my mother?"
The White Creek fish, a small thumb-sized silver fish, lives only in this White Creek.
Mixing this small fish with Nanhuang bell pepper can make a sour and spicy fish sauce, which is loved by the fairy Hanlian. But because of the scarcity of this small fish, even the Ren family can't get much every year.
Ren Kui untied the red rope on his wrist and shook it slightly, and the rope turned into a red scarf. Then he dived into the water and searched for the White Creek whitebait among the crevices of the pebbles.
It took half an hour for Ren Kui to barely catch three small fish.
"It's so troublesome! No wonder there is often not enough fish sauce at home!"
Crawling out of the water, he rested on the beach. At this time, I heard screams coming from the woods
"Help, stop...... Come on!"
Ren Kui was curious and saw a man with horns on his head tearing a girl's clothes.
Seeing someone coming, the man turned his head, and the golden dragon pupils glared directly: "Stinky boy, what are you looking at! Don't hurry up!"
Seeing by the dragon pupil, Ren Kui felt the endless tide pressing down, pressing him out of breath.
Longwei, the unique power of the dragon species.
Inexplicably, a message flashed in Ren Kui's mind. As if by a ghost, he shook off the red scarf that wrapped the little silverfish......
Li Yun woke up from a nap and saw that Ren Kui was not around, so he hurriedly sent someone out to look for him. When he came to the beach below, he saw Ren Kui standing in a bloodstain, and there was a shivering woman and a huge monster next to him.
"Ren Kui!" Li Yun hurriedly urged his true qi and summoned an immortal mirror from his body.
When I ran over, I saw that the monster was dead.
This monster resembles the legendary dragon, but its body is shorter, and its four claws are biased towards the claws of a tiger.
"Ren Kui, what's going on?"
"I don't know. Ren Kui looked at the square scarf in his hand in a daze. The scarf turned back into a red string and wrapped around the wrist.
Seeing that he couldn't say why, Li Yun looked directly at the woman next to him.
The woman stammered, "It's this little brother...... He...... He shook off the red scarf, and then the red light flashed...... The monster is dead. ”
Li Yun frowned, and the fairy mirror suddenly flashed with a spiritual light, replaying the scene that had just happened in his mind.
Indeed, it was Ren Kui who used the scarf in his hand to kill the monster and save the woman who was almost raped.
After thinking about it, Li Yun took off his clothes and put them on the woman: "You get up first, and go back to the city with my slave in a while." When I got back, I asked my father to go to your family. ”
Then, he said to Ren Kui: "It's not easy for the two of us to deal with this matter, let's go to my aunt first." ”
"Hmm. Seeing the wide-eyed monster in front of him, Ren Kui felt a little worried in his heart.
Li Yun grabbed a handful of soil from the ground, performed the earth escape technique taught by Ren Hong, and pulled Ren Kui to run to the nearest Lu Xiangu Temple around.
Lu Xiangu Temple, naturally refers to Lu Qingyuan's incense temple.
She had the help of the Lu family's grandfather to build her own yin. Acquire the ghost pill in the dark world and work hard for the growth of the Ninth Pure Land. In the Yang world, the Lu Xiangu Temple is a place for noble women to worship on incense.
After all, compared to those Yuanjun fairies who are far away in myths and legends. As the daughter of the prime minister, Lu Xiangu is now determined to seek immortals, and it can be said that she is the closest female monk to them.
In addition, after the queen mother imprisoned the emperor, she had the intention to win over Lu Xiang to appease the important ministers in the court, and even let Lu Xiangu Temple be canonized by the imperial court, enjoy the small ceremony, and preside over the sacrifice by officials from all over the country every year.
The tide rises and the boat rises, and the Lu Xiangu Temple is all over the south of China, and the incense is flourishing in the border pass.
Li Yun pulled Ren Kui to a Lu Xiangu Temple, ignored the pilgrim temple next to him, and ran directly into the lobby.
At that moment, Er Xiao disappeared from the lobby and appeared in the opposite Yin God Mansion.
This is a green and vast spiritual mansion, and there are three big characters on the gate: "Lu Xian Palace". There is also a team of ghost guards next to it.
It was not the first time that Li Yun and the others had arrived, and the ghost pawn immediately stepped forward to salute when they saw the two. But the two of them were in no mood to pay attention to it, so they opened the door and went in directly.
"Auntie, auntie, something happened!"
After coming in, Li Yun hurriedly shouted and pulled Ren Kui to Lu Qingyuan's place.
At this time, Lu Qingyuan was sitting on the throne of the gods, listening to the work reports of the judges on both sides.
Hearing the shouts outside, Lu Qingyuan said in her heart: "The script has begun!"
Ren Hong had already written the dragon slaying into a script, and several of them memorized it backwards, waiting for Ren Kui to come over and play.
"Stand down. ”
After the second child broke in, Lu Qingyuan ordered the judges to retreat one after another.
Li Yun is called "aunt", while Ren Kui is called "aunt".
The second child informed Lu Qingyuan of the matter, and Lu Qingyuan immediately sent someone to recover the monster corpse, and then checked it himself.
At this glance, she showed surprise and said to the two: "You guys are in trouble now! This monster is actually a dragon." ”
Ren Kui's expression changed: "Sure enough, it's a dragon species?"
"Not only the dragon species, but also the bloodline is pure and the origin is extraordinary. ”
Lu Qingyuan stretched out his hand and took a jade plaque from the monster's corpse, with four gilded seals on it: "Leaving the Sea King and Sun".
"This is the dragon pattern, his identity token. This dragon beast is a descendant of the Dragon King of the Leaving Sea, and if you kill him, you will be at odds with the Dragon King of the Leaving Sea. If this dragon king is provoked to come to Kyushu to take revenge, the entire Kyushu people will be a big disaster!"
While speaking, Lu Qingyuan observed Erxiao's expression.
Senior brother is really, he has to scare the two of them like this. Even if we kill the dragon species in Kyushu, is it possible that those dragon monarchs and dragon gods dare to go ashore?
But how did the second child know what was going on, and when he heard that the two of them were causing trouble, they panicked one by one.
After a while, Ren Kui calmed down: "Since I provoked this matter, then I will fight alone." He can't be unreasonable, it's obvious that his grandson did it first, and he also harmed mortal women. ”
"Yes, you are in charge of this matter. But in the end, there was a death, and we can't assume that we don't know. ”
Lu Qingyuan stroked his palms and smiled: "In this case, I will write you a letter, do you dare to send it to Lihai Palace to make amends to the Dragon King?"
Ren Kui raised his head and said, "Why not?"
"Ren Kui!" Li Yun was anxious, he hurriedly said: "Auntie, who is the Dragon King of Lihai, and where is Lihai?
"Lihai is located in the East China Sea, a sea area demarcated by the dragon clan, and its owner is the Dragon King of Lihai, who is a great dragon king. ”
"The dragon son you killed is not his true dragon grandson. but a son of a dragon born of a son and a strange beast, and was born of sexual immorality. This time, you took advantage of it again, so you returned this gold medal to the Dragon Palace, and sent another apology to ask for the Dragon King's forgiveness. ”
"But the East China Sea is far away, how can Ren Kui go alone?"
Lu Qingyuan groaned slightly: "At night, Kui'er fell asleep, and I cast a spell to lure you to the secluded world to find an immortal to take care of you, and let him escort you to the East China Sea." ”
