Volume 1 Lonely Clouds Chapter 42 Tooth Flag

The old man was shocked when he heard this, withdrew his saluted hands, and plucked up the courage to stand up and look, the white-clothed Taoist Fengshen Yulang and Shenhua who suddenly appeared in front of him were introverted, who was not the old man of Songhe who worshiped Xuanguan?

Judging from the temperament alone, compared to the angry eyes of the real people five years ago, the Taoists at this time can really afford the word dust.

Ah Mo heard the real person's question, and was frightened, that person's quiet entry into Miao Village was a trivial matter that no one knew, even if there was a big disturbance in one place, it was also a family affair that did not go out, how could the old man understand?

The old man didn't dare to slack off, and quietly made a gesture of waving a cigarette stick, and Gu Li, who was standing on the side, saw this scene, and bowed again quietly, and retreated unwillingly, his movements slow and stiff.

The Taoist stretched out his hand and stroked a few strands of long beard, his expression calm.

Mo finally breathed a sigh of relief, pinned the cigarette stick to his waist, and his mind was turning, and the old fairy of the Daomen in front of him had a humble and dusty charm, so he didn't dare to lie, so he had to open his mouth and replied respectfully: "If you go back to the real person, Mo knows this person, and the real person is here this time, is it not a special trip for him?"

Songhe received an affirmative reply, expecting that his guess had already been clear, and the words of the pious pilgrim in the Sanqing Hall of Chongxuanguan that day were the best proof.

Five years ago, that person was saved by himself by Gu poison in his body, and the matter involved must have some connection with the Five Immortals Sect. It's just that today, how did he crawl back from the ghost gate? How did he learn the ability to use poison? Is the death of the deceased who was killed by Gu in the mouth of the Yacha he met in the Xieyue Valley the evil obstacle the answer to all these things must be found from the old man in front of him.

As the contemporary gatekeeper of the Five Immortals Sect, a series of murder cases caused by Gu worms, who else can I go to if I don't look for you?

The old man said calmly: "Ah Mo Gong, tell me how you recognized this person? As for why Poor Dao came this time, you don't have to ask, you will naturally know when necessary." ”

The old man saluted respectfully again, and said: "If you really want to talk about it, I am afraid that the cause and effect of this will not be finished for a while, if the real person does not dislike it, please come in and talk about it." Mo pointed to the tall building behind him and made a gesture of please.

The Taoist nodded and walked forward, and Ah Mo followed, deliberately falling into a position.

In the secular world of the Southern Dynasty of the Liang Kingdom, although Chongxuanguan is said to be the place of Qing cultivation that oversees the Taoist program, the Taoist cultivation is pure, and it is generally rare for ordinary people to see it, unless they intend to go up the mountain to ask for incense and salute. Chongxuanguan is different from the general Taoist temple of the Southern Dynasties, and the mountain gate is not often open, so the people of Pingtou can not go up the mountain to pay respects at any time every day. This time, the mighty pilgrims on the mountain alarmed the people who worship the Tao in the land of Funiu Continent, not to mention, and even there will be pilgrims from foreign countries who come inexplicably, but they are all stained with the light of the Laojun's birthday conference.

The reopening of Kowloon Terrace, which has been rare for decades, is not visible to everyone. Even those princes and grandsons who have noble status and can not worship the mountain without paying homage, how many of them are fortunate to have seen the magnificent picture of Kowloon drawing water?

The people of Pingtou do not have the opportunity to go up the mountain every day to pay respect, as long as they often think about good deeds in their hearts, it makes no difference whether they go up the mountain or not. Even if those officials who rely on their identity and family background can enjoy more opportunities to enter the mountain, as long as they are not respectful in their hearts, every time they throw some incense money casually last time, they feel that they are sincere, and they can only be regarded as self-deception.

This is like some officials in the three pavilions and six departments of the Southern Dynasty at present, who think that they have read a few sage classics and copied a few high-level articles, they can argue with the elder Shangshu Pavilion and even the current majesty about loyalty and filial piety, rationalize benevolence, righteousness and morality, and ignore the arguments about the ancestral family law, but they turn a blind eye to the long-standing shortcomings of this devastated and undercurrent country, and keep saying that they want to clear the stream.

If it really comes, let them get rid of the bad government and do some real good things for the benefit of the country and the people, but in the end, they are incapable.

In the eyes of a true master outside the world, why did Zhao Wenruo choose to retreat into the world and cultivate after a long time? How did Shang Yuan resolutely come out and enter the world? In fact, the fundamental reason inside is nothing more than the word "general trend."

After all, the time is not coming, and the sky is not obvious.

The Liang Dynasty's rule of emphasizing civil servants and ignoring military generals cannot be said to be bad habits, and all kinds of things that have developed invisibly under the subtlety are just the result of current politics and national conditions at one time and one place, and some people can see the drawbacks, indicating that the situation has changed, and some things are no longer suitable. At that time, the world was healthy, and the ancestral family law of the prosperous era slowly turned into a stumbling block hindering the progress of the country.

What is helpless is that the change that cannot be achieved overnight, the measures that require a lot of manpower, material resources and time to take effect, some things you want to change, but you can't move for a while, I'm afraid that if you're not careful, it will turn good things into bad things, which is counterproductive.

This is also the reason why those officials in the court who claim to be clear and secretly benefit from the lack of people's hearts for a long time are willing to try their best to abide by the family laws of some ancestors and claim to be loyal ministers.

You can't beat it, you can't make noise, and you can't sell your reputation or reputation.

It is gossip to take the cultivation to the officialdom, and the common people dare not go up and touch the moldy head when they meet the officials and men wearing simple clothes on the road, if they are unfortunate and meet the officials and the old men to ask themselves, regardless of whether there is anything to do, how can there be disrespectful salutes?

Although the Chongxuan concept of the national dynasty is said to be canonized by the imperial court and its status is comparable to that of the royal family, if the people meet the old immortals on the road, which one should not be the blessing they have cultivated in their previous life? Some people who live at the foot of the mountain and see a lot of people are actually not surprised, even if they see some old immortals who are old and look like they are real people, they have the courage to step forward and say something, there are not so many rules.

The reason why Amo is so respectful and has to bow every time he finishes his words is that he is too palpitating for the accident that occurred five years ago. The old man Songhe didn't like this, but in the eyes of outsiders, he was a cultivator, and he was too deliberate to point out that he didn't have to be like this, but he seemed to be rigid and obsessed.

On the cloud pavilion platform of the high-rise building, the beautiful woman in her coat has been standing on the edge of the green bamboo fence and looking at him from the moment Daddy went out, her eyes burning. I saw the stone pillar lampstand in the distance, and I saw Gu Li, until I saw Daddy following behind a Taoist man in white clothes and Shengxue.

Seeing the two people not far in front of her walking towards the building, the woman was shocked, she quietly took two steps back, and when the two people disappeared in sight, the woman flashed into the house, picked up the Miao crown on the bamboo table and changed clothes.

In the ground floor of the high-rise building, Ah Mo waited for the old man to enter the house and hurriedly poured two pots of tea. After the old man sat down, he also sat aside, respectfully asked for a cup of tea, and Ah Mo straightened his voice and told the cause and effect of the matter.

On the side of the corridor on the top floor of the Cloud Pavilion, there was an imperceptible sound of going downstairs.

There are women in black clothes and black deer boots, with a scarf wrapped around her head, and two narrow knives diagonally inserted in her waist.

————

On the north gate of Deciduous Leaf City, Liu Ling strode out of the door, following the intermittent sharp whistle all the way, and after finally making sure that the whistle was completely silent, it was already a dark night.

Liu Ling is a fast catcher in Deciduous City, and she is good at tracking, but how can she avoid people without fighting, and deliberately hide her identity, so she only uses the whistle to lead her along the way. After coming and going, without knowing anything about the people who came, in the night when he couldn't see it, he finally found nothing in the dense forest almost two miles away from the north gate of Fallen Leaf City.

It can't be said that there is nothing to be found, at least it is certain that that person is the guy who used the whistle to drive the poison tide to plot against him in the Valley of the Leaning Moon yesterday.

The burly man in civilian clothes touched the two things in his arms and muttered to himself: "Good guy, is this an eye, but I don't know where the opponent comes from?"

Liu Ling was a little indignant, he didn't like this feeling, as a thief who was a thief to arrest and take thieves, he was led by the nose, and the most hateful thing was that the person who came must have seen him in secret, otherwise how could he chase him all the way to the city?

He looked around, and under the faintly visible moonlight, the shadows of the trees in the dense forest were heavy, and the insects chirped, and there was no half of a human figure.

Liu Ling squatted down, deliberately coughed loudly, listened attentively, still did not hear any artificial alarm, disappointed to see with his eyes, on the empty mountains around, except for his own footprints, there were no other superfluous footprints.

"Could it be that he disappeared out of thin air?" Liu Ling wondered in her heart, but she was immediately relieved, "Good thief, you have done a good job!"

Liu Ling stood up, but he didn't feel too disappointed, looked at the depths of the dense forest full of shadows, and after a slight groan, he stretched out his hand and hugged his fists and said loudly: "Since you are a friend who saw me in the valley yesterday, can you come out and talk about it?"

The voice is loud and spreads all over the four fields.

It's a pity that no one in the empty and uninhabited dense forest answered except for his own slowly passing words.

Liu Ling still didn't give up, staring at the depths of the dense forest and said loudly: "Since my friend doesn't dare to come out to see him, is he a member of the Five Immortals Sect?"

There is still silence in the mountains and forests.

Liu Ling sneered, "Rats with hidden heads and tails!" After speaking, he spat hard at the deep dense forest.

"Since Your Excellency doesn't dare to come out, naturally you can't afford to spend time here Grandpa, if Your Excellency can't come out, I'll leave?"

The night breeze blows, and the leaves rustle.

Deep in the dense forest at night is like a fierce beast waiting for its prey with its huge mouth open, Liu Ling originally intended to go to investigate, but when he thought of the overwhelming poisonous tide in the valley yesterday, he felt a little worried. It's not that the man is timid, it's just that he doesn't know the details of the people, and the gains outweigh the losses in a hurry, and secondly, if the white bone flower specially left by the old man in his arms is used in the here and now, it will be a little too wasteful, in case the enemy secretly ambushes and fortifications, with precautions, it will be greatly discounted if he wants to work wonders.

The burly man shook his head helplessly, and looked at the sky, I am afraid that the second watch drum has already been knocked in the fallen leaves city, and if he doesn't go back, after the curfew, it will be a little troublesome if he wants to call the door.

Liu Ling finally looked at the deep dense forest in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and finally stomped his foot, turned around and rushed in the direction of Fallen Leaf City.

As the footsteps of the burly man faded away, in the dense forest where he could hide, the night wind howled, crying like a complaint.

After about another stick of incense, Liu Ling turned back to the city, and was more than 100 steps away from the north gate of the Fallen Leaf City, after seeing a warning light faintly lit at the closed city gate, the man frowned slightly, and unconsciously quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Luckily, I didn't meet a city gate official who was still awake at this time in the past.

Liu Ling turned around and looked at the place where he came from, the empty mountain was lonely, and there was no one on the Guanma Avenue leading to Qingshui City on the side, and it was unusually cold.

On the contrary, the ruts of the two rows of carriages are particularly clear, and it stands to reason that the ruts of the carriages and horses passing by before the curfew at the city gate have already dissipated at this time.

At this time, the moon has passed the middle of the sky, but it has already passed the time of the child.

Liu Ling came to the city gate, and after finally confirming her identity, she finally called open the city gate.

After entering the inner city, the man walked towards the government office in the center of the city without thinking.

The little official at the city gate who opened the door yawned, with a stomach full of resentment, and just sent away the carriage and horse of the county lord with his front foot, and just wanted to blow out the warning lights and take a nap, but he let him meet Liu Bantou and return to the city.

The little official tightened his clothes and muttered, "Are these big people all full of food, how can they like to hang around in the middle of the night!"

It's a pity that the burly man who just entered the inner city has something in his heart, not only did he miss the traces of carriages and horses at the gate of the outer city, but he was also destined to not hear the secret complaints of a city gate official who was still scolding and scolding.

The moon passes in the middle of the sky, and the moon shines like water.

On the originally silent and silent wide Guanma Avenue, a string of horses' hooves suddenly sounded at some point, dripping and dating, which seemed particularly real in the desolate night.

In the depths of a dense forest where there was no one in the depths, a man dressed in Miao Village service appeared, and after sending away the whimsical and delusional yamen official who wanted to track him, the man walked towards the official road expressionlessly, and did not see any joy.

Not far in front of the line of sight, on the official road, a carriage with a palm-sized black tooth flag inserted on the roof axle beam of the car roared by.

The man froze, as if he was a little stunned, and with a slowdown of his feet, the carriage was already far away.

On the axle beam on the roof in front of the carriage, the palm-sized black tooth flag fluttered in the wind in the night, and the lifelike oriole bird embroidered on one side seemed to flutter its wings and fly away at any moment.

On the other side, the word "Xu" is swaying and swinging.

Many years ago, it was also at nightfall, in front of an army with more than 1,000 people, all wearing armor and spears, there was also a big "Xu" on the big pole that led the army forward.
