Withered Leaf City, Mirage.

The former Zhao Dayong and now Zhao Guanhai are the personal disciples of the mirage.

Zhao Guanhai sat at the mouth of the iron dock, his feet hanging in the air and swaying.

Since Zhao Guanhai came to the iron dock mouth, he had just climbed the mirage and attracted the attention of many elders above, after all, he was the only person in history who had refined the ladder when he went upstairs.

Now because of Zhao Guanhai, there is no longer a ladder in the mirage, and it is replaced by an ordinary stone ladder, which is also a good spiritual weapon, which can climb the mirage, but it is still a little worse than the original ladder.

Zhao Guanhai's cultivation after that was even more terrifying, Zhao Guanhai soared all the way to the realm at the terrifying speed of breaking one realm a year, and now it is the fourth year in the mirage, and he has also reached the realm of the Fengchu realm.

Because the fact that he broke the realm was too shocking, there were also people in the sect who opened a gambling game, and the content of the bet was that Zhao Guanhai's next realm would take a few years, and even the next realm and even the lower realm had people start to bet, and they didn't stop until the Huiyang realm.

The implication is that the whole sect has no doubts about Zhao Guanhai's breakthrough of the Seven Heavens, and he is in the limelight for a while.

A man dressed in the same personal disciple costume sat next to Zhao Guanhai and said, "Homesick again?"

People who cultivate immortals have a long time and live like flowing water, and they have never cared about the festival ceremonies in the world, even the Spring Festival is difficult to pay attention to.

But every Spring Festival, Zhao Guanhai would come to Tiewukou to look at the east, and he told the people in front of him the reason.

He didn't turn his head and still looked at the scenery in front of him, "He Tao, you know that I am a homeless man, and I am very vague about home. ”

He's not homesick, he's just thinking about his brother who is not related by blood but is like a brother.

He Tao looked at the man who was still dark-skinned and had a slightly vicissitudes of life, and did not speak.

Obviously, the more a cultivator goes up, the younger and more radiant he becomes, but how can it be so inconspicuous on Zhao Guanhai's body, as if suffering when he was young is a trace of eternity.

I still remember the first time I took Zhao Guanhai upstairs, this kid startled him, and then he broke through the realm like drinking water, but he felt normal.

When he came, the master accepted him as a disciple, and now he He Tao has risen from the previous inner disciple to a personal disciple, and Zhao Guanhai has actually been promoted to a personal disciple in just four years.

But fortunately, he cultivated early, and the realm still steadily suppressed Zhao Guanhai, and now he is in a qin state of mind, and I don't know what will happen in the future.

"The master said that you may have to go downstairs once in a few years, and asked me to remind you to prepare in advance."

Compared with the casual freedom of other sects, the mirage has always been very strict in its rules and regulations, and no monk is allowed to go downstairs at will, and if he goes downstairs, he must get the consent of the Elders' House to get the papers, otherwise he will be punished.

However, his master is very senior, so he just said hello to the Elders' House about going downstairs, and the paperwork is not so important.

"This time I went to a farther place, I want to go to Beiyan. He Tao continued.

"I see. Zhao Guanhai said calmly.

Cultivators have always been pure-hearted and have few desires, and after Zhao Guanhai miraged, he was indeed much more silent than before.

He Tao casually pinched a piece of cloud, fiddled with the appearance of a white rabbit up and down, frowned and felt dissatisfied, and slapped it away, "When will you break through the realm?"

Zhao Guanhai said: "Qin's state of mind will go up in the past two years, but there is no need to think about it in a short period of time. ”

He Tao grinned, stood up and patted his buttocks, "Then I may be a little more angry than you." ”

Then he left, Zhao Guanhai smiled slightly, still looking at the east.

——

Genlin Kyoto, Ying Tianfu.

Since Zhou Niangu came to Kyoto, Zhu Zhang gave him the position of Shaoqing of Dali in the fourth grade, from a local six-rank official to two grades, or became a Beijing official, which has changed greatly, and the emperor's attention can be imagined. Hundreds of officials of the imperial court came here to visit, hoping to have a good relationship with Zhou Niangu.

But only a year later, Zhou Niangu was promoted from the original Shaoqing to the third grade of Dali Temple.

The government and the opposition shook, Zhou Niangu's reputation was instantly launched, and an unstoppable force with Zhou Niangu as the core quickly condensed, faintly competing with the Lin Party and the Ming Party.

Coincidentally, with the help of Mrs. Li, Wu Xuenian actually became the position of Dali Sizheng, and in this way, Wu Xuenian became Zhou Niangu's direct subordinate.

The status of the six products in Kyoto is neither high nor low. However, such a small position is dominated by real power, and the temple is directly trying cases, and is the highest-ranking kind of adjudicator, in charge of hearing specific cases and sending envoys to local areas to review cases.

It is considered a fragrant position, and it is not unenviable to be promoted from a royal dining room book to this position.

There were a bunch of Wenchen who came to congratulate him, but unlike Zhou Niangu's drip-free greeting, calmly facing the wind from all sides, Wu Xuenian's new official took office quite a big shelf, and he directly closed the door to thank no one, so that a bunch of people ate a closed door, and he was really disgusted and disgusted with Zhou Niangu in his heart.

Wu Xuenian didn't care, he still insisted on going his own way, and hundreds of officials in the court were privately ridiculing him for not knowing the world, and he would definitely not go far in the future.

Zhou Niangu often works in Dali Temple, and he has a lot of guidance for Wu Xuenian and attaches great importance to it.

made those hundred officials hinder his face for a while, and it was difficult to hack Wu Xuenian.

On this day, Wu Xuenian walked alone on the road, and most of the other officials were in pairs, walking together, he had always been alone, and he was the most lonely on the road.

He inexplicably remembered the rotten orange back then, the firm eyes, and the fierce temper that refused to surrender, and did not trample him to death at the beginning, maybe it would bring him a lot of trouble in the future.

But after thinking about it, I shook my head, forget it, the well water does not interfere with the river water.

In this Kyoto, if someone dares to use force to prohibit it, then it is not a high level that can solve the problem.

No matter how high the realm of the immortal family is, if they dare to provoke the dignity of a country, it is a situation of endless death, especially a belligerent country like Xuanling.

I have never been afraid of death, and I am even less afraid of fighting.

There was once a big sect that relied on a few high-level ancestors to come to the court and wanted to kill people, but before people could enter the city gate a few steps away, they were surrounded and killed by hundreds of Jinyi guards.

This hasn't been played yet, the emperor has allocated thousands of generals to kill and injure the Patriarch Hall to directly turn this first-class sect into an unknown third-rate small sect.

When Wu Xuenian returned home, the maid stepped forward and said, "Master, there are a few more people who want to see Master today." ”

Wu Xuenian waved his hand and said impatiently: "Don't see you, it's very annoying, don't report it next time, just drive it away." ”

The maid didn't say anything, so she withdrew.

No one knows what he Wu Xuenian is thinking, can a small Dali Temple fill his stomach? Just kidding, just like when he hit that rotten orange in a desperate way, every step he took was in his plan.

Let's just say that Mrs. Li died generously at his suggestion, and then became a stepping stone for his promotion?

When he thought of those stupid officials, he couldn't help laughing, the more he laughed, the more exaggerated he became, and finally he bent over with a smile on his stomach.

It's better to mess up all the relationships, offend everyone, and save yourself from worrying about these little things.

After a long time, he really struggled to laugh, so he slowly straightened up, lifted his shirt and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, sneered in his eyes, and said: "And wait slowly, I will overturn the ups and downs of this officialdom." ”

——

Qingcheng Mountain, Suzaku Peak.

said that the ascension was good, because of the accident of the Su family, Zhang De lived and dragged on for more than a year, but now almost everything has been investigated by several of them, although the Mi Xin conspiracy is indeed chilling, but it is basically still under their control, and the impact on his ascension is not great, and the matter of ascension can finally be carried out.

In the Ancestral Hall of Vermilion Bird Peak, there are only five people, namely the Great Elder Xia Chong, the Sect Duanmu Heng, the Supreme Elder Xu Xiaofeng, the Peach Blossom Peak Lord Chen Daoxuan, and Zhang De.

Zhang De has now handed over all the positions to his junior brother Xu Xiaofeng, and the other positions are expected except for a Duanmu Heng who is unfamiliar to the outside world.

The ancestral hall was originally not big, and the five people gathered together, which seemed to be very lively.

Zhang De looked around, stroked his white hair and long hair, and looked relieved, "Okay, good, my Qingcheng Mountain has a thriving atmosphere, not only have successors, but the old man's shoulders are wide and hard enough, and he can be a little tougher next time he goes out of the mountain." ”

He looked at Xia Chong and said, "Xia Chong, your travels a hundred years ago have indeed benefited a lot, but remember that since you go up the mountain again, you must let go of some mortal matters, and you can't be disturbed by the qi of the rivers and lakes to disturb your Taoist calm mind." ”

Xia Chong clenched his fists, "Disciple remember!"

looked at Duanmu Heng again, "Let you Taoguang be obscure for many years, after all, it will be up to you to deal with the sect." I've worked hard for you in the future, and I don't have too much advice to you on your practice. ”

The implication is very reassuring.

Duanmu Heng smiled slightly, like a spring breeze.

looked at Chen Daoxuan again and said, "As for you, take care of your daughter-in-law." ”

The crowd laughed.

Chen Daoxuan's face did not change at all.

"Okay, you all go out, Chen Daoxuan stays, I still have something to say. Zhang De said.

Xu Xiaofeng was not happy, waved his big sleeves like a child, and asked, "What about me, what about me, senior brother and me." ”

Zhang De's face was furious, and he flicked his sleeves and flew Xu Xiaofeng out, "Get out!"

After taking away those letters, I didn't expect this guy to be unwilling to spread rumors about him everywhere, and when he met people, he said, "Elder Taishang Zhang De secretly hid the love letters received by his apprentice Chen Daoxuan, and he also used this to lust every night." ”

After going out for a while, he was looked at by all the disciples with strange eyes, and he almost didn't get angry to death.

When everyone went out, Zhang De said to Chen Daoxuan: "Next year, you go to Yuhengzhou in Middle Earth to find someone, just say that you will take something from him, and he will give it to you." ”

After speaking, he took out a leather map of the vicissitudes of age from his sleeve and handed it to Chen Daoxuan, "When you arrive in Yuhengzhou, this map will naturally lead you there." ”

Chen Daoxuan accepted the map, but stood where he was and refused to leave.

Zhang De sighed and said, "You ask, I know you want to ask me some questions." ”

Chen Daoxuan stood up straight and asked seriously, "Master, what is the Tao?"

Really.

"You're still struggling with that. Zhang De said, turned around and said, "The master doesn't know if it's right or not, so he just talks about his own opinions." The way of heaven and earth, if it is not a thing, then its creatures are unpredictable. The way of heaven and earth: Bo also, thick also, high also, Ming also, leisurely also, long also. ”

Chen Daoxuan fell into deep thought.

"Okay, okay, these are all meat words, don't think too much, you can go. Zhang De kicked Chen Daoxuan out.

In the end, he was the only one left in the empty ancestral hall, he glanced around, he had never made people feel old in his life, as if he was dozens of years old, and finally bent down his waist, which had always been straight.

He glanced at Qingcheng Mountain again and sighed, "It's really a little reluctant." ”

The last one got up and said, "Let's go." ”

The founder of Qingcheng Mountain, cadre Zhang De, left the world.

Silently.

——

The time of waiting slipped quietly from the fingertips, and the people who lived in seclusion in the depths of the passing years had a flame burning in their hearts, and when the flames burned vigorously, they steamed up a burst of anxiety.

Flowing water and flowers look forward to the floating year, a year has passed, and it is finally looking forward to the end.

According to his master's will, Zhang Yuanyi has stayed in the town for two years, and now he can finally leave the town.

He walked quietly and didn't tell anyone, not even Xu Yifan didn't say anything, but left early in the morning with Su Su in the spring.
