Chapter 31: The Terrace of the Heavens
As a guard commander, being able to sit and drink tea in the house can be so leisurely, which shows how highly valued Wang Yuan is by Lord Cui. Wang Yuan waved his hand to let the steward go down, and then smiled at Li Qingxuan: "Come, drink two cups of tea." Li Qingxuan sat down as he said.
"This is a famous tea to be sent to the capital, but my family also has a share of a few catties, so I made my own decision and cut off an extra half catty. Wang Yuan, who can be called bold, smiled, stretched out his hand to make a gesture, and said, "Give it a try?"
Li Qingxuan naturally drank tea, but he rarely drank such a high-quality tea, took a sip, and felt fragrant, as if sitting between the green mountains and green waters, the breath was full of fresh air, and he couldn't help but praise: "Good tea, the first-class Longjing before the Ming Dynasty." Wang Yuan suddenly smiled, "Li Langjun also understands tea?" "I know a little bit about it." Li Qingxuan smiled slightly: "This tea is excellent, even a layman can taste it." ”
Wang Yuan haha said: "Actually, I, a rough man, don't understand tea, I know how to fight and kill, but I just think that this tea is a tribute and the taste is different, so I cut it off half a catty." "Secretly intercepting tribute, although it is not a capital crime, is not much better. Wang Yuan, as the commander of the guards beside Lord Thorn Shi, naturally knew it, but he ignored it, and he was really a wild and uninhibited character.
Li Qingxuan didn't expect him to admit such things so calmly, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned. Wang Yuan saw his doubts, and sighed in a deep voice: "I was ordered to protect the lord, fight bloodily, block the open gun, and guard against the hidden arrows. It's always good to enjoy yourself in time, anyway, I'm also working hard for the court, born and dead, half a catty of famous tea, in fact, adults also know, just open one eye, close one eye. ”
"Don't talk about these chores. Wang Yuan looked at Li Qingxuan and said, "I invite you to come, not only to taste tea, but also to inquire about some things." Li Qingxuan said: "Captain Wang, please speak directly." ”
Wang Yuan took out a booklet from his arms, handed it to Li Qingxuan, and said: "A few days ago, when you were healing the red-tailed snake, I was on the side, and on a whim that day, I ordered someone to check the Renxin Medicine Hall, and it was found that its tax evasion and tax evasion were shoddy. But the matter reached the adult, and the adult ordered that all the medicine halls be checked. ”
Wang Yuan looked at him carefully and said, "Among them, there is the Zhangjia Medicine Hall under your master's name. Li Qingxuan flipped the book a few times, his face was a little angry, and he turned a few more pages, and his eyes were a little more gloomy. Suddenly, a fresh breeze blew through the gazebo, blowing away the haze.
Li Qingxuan was a cultivator who had cultivated true qi, and immediately cleared his mind, put down the book, and said, "The Zhangjia Medicine Hall is no longer under my master's name two years ago, and now my master's younger brother and nephew are in charge. "This meaning is very clear, anyway, it's not my master's, how to do it, how to do it.
"Then you're welcome. Wang Yuan took back the book and said, "I wanted to give you face and let go of this family medicine hall." "No, I don't. Li Qingxuan showed a clear smile and said: "Handle it impartially, and seal it when it should be sealed." Wang Yuan heard him say righteous and awe-inspiring, and his heart was a little weird, "I always feel ...... Are you borrowing my hand to teach those people in the Zhangjia Pharmacy a lesson?"
"How is it possible? What kind of person is here, how can he declare a personal vendetta?" Li Qingxuan raised his head and said: "The Zhangjia Medicine Hall is the painstaking effort of my master's life, and my master has no children, so he passed the medicine hall to his cousin and nephew. If it is well managed, it will be fine, and they will not ruin my master's life's hard work by messing around like this? You have sealed the medicine hall, but you have to show that these guys are unscrupulous and have nothing to do with my master. ”
Wang Yuan nodded, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, and his heart was very strange: "It's a good thing to say, but in the end, it's just a sentence, sealing the Zhangjia Medicine Hall." Why do I think it's still full of the smell of this communiqué's personal vendetta?" Li Qingxuan felt extremely happy, laughed twice, and the tea seemed to add a little flavor.
"The matter of the medicine hall is just an ordinary matter, but I invite you to come this time, and I have another matter to inquire about. "Li Qingxuan has studied martial arts before, but he has always learned authentic kung fu, and there are not many traces to see. Later, his master Zhang Laodao gave him an empowerment and passed on his skills, and he changed his physique with his innate vitality and Jindan spiritual water, so that he could retain seven inches of true qi.
But Li Qingxuan's body is very different from ordinary ordinary martial artists. Now his body is in line with his true qi, and his cultivation is hidden in his body, which can only be seen by fellow cultivators. But for Wang Yuan, he still felt extremely surprised. A young scholar who has not yet reached the crown, at a young age, can not see the slightest trace of martial arts, can compete with him, a martial arts master who has cultivated three inches of internal strength, and has the upper hand?
Li Qingxuan said in a low voice: "I am a cultivator. Wang Yuan showed an expected look on his face, he nodded, and then smiled: "It is precisely because you are a person of cultivation that I can take you to Beijing, after all, the things escorted this time must be handed over to the treasury, and there can be no mistakes." ”
Li Qingxuan took a deep breath, and there was a little solemnity in the depths of his eyes. He was silent for a long time before he said slowly: "How much does Captain Wang know about the affairs of cultivators?"
"Not much. Wang Yuan shook his head and said, "It is rumored that Si Tiantai is in charge of order, and the affairs of these cultivators are all isolated from the world, and the law cannot be revealed in front of the world. Even if it is a great martial arts master, it may not be clear about these things of cultivation, I used to be a Xuanjie captain of the right Shenwu army in the capital, and I happened to see the cultivator's divine passage method, and I knew that the world was extraordinary. ”
"Cultivator's Divine Passage Method?" Li Qingxuan's eyes lit up, after he obtained the True Sword Dao, he and his master Zhang Laodao already knew that above the release of true qi, there was indeed an extraordinary realm. But he never thought that Wang Yuan had actually seen the Divine Passage Method. He suddenly remembered that before this trip, Wang Yuan had reminded him to carry a magic weapon. It can be seen from this that Wang Yuan knows a lot about the affairs of cultivators.
But there are only legends in the world of cultivating the true qi and cultivating to become immortals, ethereal, the world only regards them as myths and legends, and even the worldly martial arts heroes only regard these immortal things as myths and legends. However, more than 120 years ago, the legendary deeds of Master Sanzang who traveled west to learn scriptures were once widely known, and now they have rarely become the talk of everyone after dinner!
In this rumor, what is the monstrous power of Si Tiantai, who observes and records astronomical phenomena, predicts national fortunes, surveys the terrain and feng shui, and avoids disasters?
He even isolates the cultivators from the world and cannot reveal the Dharma in front of the eyes of the world? They even divide the cultivators and the worldly people into two completely different worlds? They live under the same starry sky, but they are different worlds. Li Qingxuan took a deep breath and felt incredible.
"Not true. "This Captain Wang is just a person who practices martial arts, and he still knows about cultivation, why doesn't Master and his old man know anything?"
"Although Wang Yuan only knew about it by chance, but Master he has traveled all over the Tang Dynasty for decades, and he has found nothing? I have seven inches of true qi, how long has it been since I can learn this kind of thing from Wang Yuan's mouth, and Master He has been seeking the Tao wholeheartedly, and he has traveled for more than 70 years, but he has gained nothing?" In just an instant, countless thoughts passed through Li Qingxuan's mind, and a little chill arose in his heart.
The chill was like a wisp of invisible gas, born from the bottom of my heart and gradually growing. A look of horror flashed in his eyes. What kind of monstrous power can make an old Taoist priest with his true qi outgoing travel for decades, and still be like a secular person, and still unable to touch the matter of cultivation? Is it Si Tiantai's means, or is it the conspiracy of some big man?
"Li Langjun, Li Langjun?" Wang Yuan called a few times before Li Qingxuan came back to his senses. Li Qingxuan said in a low voice: "It's rude to be distracted for a while." The two talked for a long time. Li Qingxuan knocked on the side, and got a lot of information about the cultivator from Wang Yuan, Wang Yuan may also know that he is talking, but he doesn't pay much attention to it.
Originally, there was Si Tiantai who controlled the cultivation of the Tang Dynasty, and this kind of thing could not be spread at will, but since Li Qingxuan was a cultivator, there was no need to hide many things, and he also told them all, and it was also beneficial and harmless for him to make friends with a young cultivator.
In fact, Wang Yuan didn't know much about the matter of cultivation, but he happened to see the Taoism of the cultivator when he was ordered to do something, and later he was summoned by Si Tiantai, so that he could not arbitrarily spread this matter. After a conversation, Li Qingxuan gained a lot. At least, although cultivators are rare, they are not very few in the world.
Those who cultivate immortals and cultivate the Tao are not allowed to reveal their spells in the world at will. In the rumor, Si Tiantai, who can observe the heavens, issue calendars, and survey the terrain, is mysterious and unpredictable, controlling the cultivation order of the Tang Dynasty, so that cultivators are not allowed to act arbitrarily, they are not allowed to act arbitrarily against ordinary people, and they are not allowed to easily reveal the divine passage method.
But the most important point is the matter of his master Zhang Laodao. His master Zhang Laodao asked for immortals all his life, but there was still no result for decades, and vaguely, there seemed to be a bit of a mysterious atmosphere. Master Zhang Laodao is already like this, so what will happen to Li Qingxuan, who has been inherited?
