This lantern is the first to float down, and it is half a person high, which is very special, these boys must have come to find this note. Li Qing hesitated whether to hand over the note in his hand and tell this group of heartbroken sons that it was actually a misunderstanding.

He looked at the flowing water above, and the paper lamps were floating down, and there were many sons and daughters with many of their own domestic servants and guards, rushing down, with the meaning of robbing the paper lamps. Looking at such a battle, Li Qing thought that it was better to save more things, looking at this posture, it must be that the first lantern that fell before was extremely special, and there was a scene of these sons chasing each other.

Taking advantage of the fact that these gentlemen in front of him were stunned for a long time, and before they came to their senses, Li Qing had already crossed the moat and walked directly towards the city. At this time, the city gate had been opened, "No, the ninth girl is not married, and this note is not the ninth girl's." ”

"That damn scholar, dare to deceive me?" "The Nine Girls' note must have been hidden by him!" Several gentlemen came back to their senses and scolded one after another, but when they turned their heads to see, the scholar had disappeared.

Some cautious ones followed the river and went to look for the big lantern, while a few of them, in a fit of rage, summoned some domestic servants to protect them, and were about to trouble the scholar. Li Qing entered the city gate, turned his head to look at the moat, raised his eyebrows slightly, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

At this moment, a halberd landed in front of him and stopped him. One of the soldiers at the city gate shouted, "You scholar, where did you come from? "The road guide is to prove your identity and the certificate to clear the customs and enter the city.

Li Qing came from some way, but this was difficult for him, so he immediately stuffed a few silver coins over. The sergeant glanced at the silver coin, and let it go on weekdays, but the times have been different recently, he shook his hand and shouted: "What are you doing? We will enforce the law impartially, and we will not be allowed to enter without a guide!" Li Qing frowned slightly.

In recent days, Luoyang City has been turbulent and the situation is uncertain, so many things have become very serious. The number of soldiers guarding the gate has increased by more than ten compared with the previous days, and whenever someone enters the city, they must verify their identity and not relax at all. Because of this strictness, Li Qing's money didn't seem to be of use.

The sergeant still stopped him, refusing to let him go. Li Qingzheng wanted to use the technique of shrinking the ground into inches, and if he entered directly, these soldiers would not be able to stop him at all. He suddenly thought in his heart: There is the government of Si Tiantai in Luoyang City, the eastern capital, if he directly uses the technique of shrinking the land into inches here, I wonder if it will attract the cultivators of Si Tiantai to maintain order?

Among the soldiers guarding the door, the highest position was a captain, he saw that Li Qing had not retreated, he had pressed his palm on the hilt of the sword, his eyes showed some light, he slowly stepped forward, and asked, "This Langjun, I don't know what the name is?"

Li Qing was about to answer his name, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he changed his words and said, "Li Boyu in Xia Zhao County, go to the city to visit friends." The lieutenant thought to himself: Could it be that this person in front of him is from the Li clan of Zhaojun?

There was little change on his face, but he just said to Li Qing: "Li Langjun, in recent days, there will be a conference in the city, and many people will go to Beijing to gather, so in order not to mix with the gangsters, so we and the soldiers and generals guarding the city gate must not be sloppy, so we have to do things according to the rules." If Li Langjun doesn't have any credentials, please go back, and then enter the city when you have identity credentials. ”

Between the words, his palm, which rested on the hilt of the sword, had already grasped the hilt, and if there was any change, he could draw the sword immediately. In recent days

, Si Tiantai postponed the Daomen Conference, until today, the conference will be held, and various figures will come to enter the city.

It is said that at this conference, all the immortals who came were accomplished in cultivation. However, in the eyes of many generals and captains, they are just tricks that know how to trick and are used to deceive everyone.

Although these generals, captains and others don't believe much in the so-called cultivation of immortals, there are really many masters of the rivers and lakes who come here, including some martial arts young heroes who have internal strength at a young age, and even martial arts masters. In the past few days, there have been people at each city gate who have relied on martial arts to break into the city. This is chivalry to violate the prohibition with martial arts, and with some martial arts skills, he will not obey the rules and discipline.

The lieutenant clenched the hilt of his sword and thought to himself: "Although this scholar looks young, and his pace and body shape can't see any signs of practicing martial arts, these days, it is some characters who seem to have not practiced martial arts who are making trouble. These guys don't seem to know martial arts, but they are all very powerful, claiming to be a person who cultivates immortals and cultivates the Tao, I think that although this scholar is not dressed as a Taoist, he may also be such a person. ”

Li Qing saw that he was so vigilant, and after a little thought, he knew the clue. Li Qing was a little impatient, and was about to use the technique of shrinking the ground into inches to force his way in, when at this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind him, "Is this Gongzi Li?" Li Qing turned his head to look, and saw a middle-aged man smiling, and said respectfully: "The little one is the manager of the Liu Yushi Mansion, and he is here to greet Li Gongzi." ”

Liu Yushi: Everyone was shocked. The middle-aged man turned his head and flashed a token, which shook in front of the eyes of many soldiers. The lieutenant arched his hand and stepped back. "Hmph, you don't have long eyes, dare to be disrespectful to Li Gongzi?" the steward said coldly: "Wait for me to report it, and then let the above punish your crimes." ”

The fifty or so sergeants guarding the door were all pale with fright, but the captain did not change his face, but said, "It's just a duty." The steward said angrily: "You are just a small squad of the Right Dragon Martial Army, and you dare to contradict it?" The captain raised his head and said calmly: "My name is Hun, this matter is impartially enforced, and I am not afraid of what your Imperial History Mansion will do to me." ”

The steward was even more furious, and was about to teach him a lesson, when suddenly the scholar on the side stretched out his hand and stopped him. Li Qing said lightly: "Where the duty is, there is no need to punish him." As soon as these words fell, the steward suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Qing heard the light and said with a secret smile: "This steward of the Liu Mansion either recognizes this team leader named Hun, or admires his temperament very much. He scolded Hun like this, obviously because he was afraid that I would blame him. It seems that this steward is also interesting. ”

The steward still showed indignation, glared fiercely, and then walked ahead with Li Qing. Hun looked at the back of the young scholar, frowned slightly, and said to himself: "Sure enough, he is from an extraordinary background, could it be that he is also like those people, with real skills?"

He said to himself like this, and the other generals over there were scared and weak. "Damn, why did you stop a scholar casually, and they are all distinguished guests in Lord Liu's mansion?" And the sergeant who stopped Li Qing with a halberd and was almost about to accept a bribe was even more frightened. Many soldiers and generals have a sense of the aftermath of the catastrophe and breathe a sigh of relief.

"I don't blame them. The steward was in front of him, and said with a smile: "Actually, in recent days, because of the relationship between the Daomen Conference, many cultivators have come and made some trouble, so that they can be cautious in everything. These short-sighted generals all belong to the category of ordinary people, so they don't know about cultivators yet. ”

Li Qing raised his eyebrows slightly, he had already discovered that this steward had two inches of cultivation, although he only had the title of a steward, but Li Qing could guess that the status of this person in Liufu was about the same as Wang Yuan beside Master Cui and Fan Tengyun beside Pei Gelao.

Hearing that he knew about the cultivator, Li Qing knew that his previous guess was correct, and this person was indeed a henchman of the Liu Mansion. Si Tiantai set up rules, so that the monks did not dare to violate them, gave the people a peaceful world, and isolated the monks from the world. ”

The steward continued: "But in this way, there are many people who do not know about the cultivation of the Tao, and instead regard Si Tiantai as a warlock who subverts the court and blinds the saints. Therefore, many people do not agree with this Daomen conference of Si Tiantai. ”

Hearing this, Li Qing was slightly stunned, but he heard Pei Ge Lao mention that generally speaking, only the masters above the third rank know about cultivation, and if ordinary people have no chance, most of them will not be able to know. It is precisely because of this that some officials who don't know about monasticism are just afraid that they are impeaching Si Tiantai?

The steward continued: "In the past few days, many monks have come here, and those who have left the realm have been recorded by Si Tiantai, so they have issued documents and guides in advance, or asked people to wait to greet them. However, cultivators in the Qi cultivation realm are difficult to take care of. ”

"Therefore, at all the gates of Luoyang City, there have been cultivators who practice qi to make trouble, although they have all been suppressed by Si Tiantai, but in the eyes of these generals and soldiers, it is still quite chaotic. "Li Qingchu became a monk, and he knew that Si Tiantai was not recorded, but he could still speculate about what the steward said.

Among the cultivators, although most of them are pure-hearted and have few desires, there are also some wild people who consciously achieve success in cultivation and are detached from the mundane, some are unruly, some are in a poor state of mind, and some have different personalities. It is said that chivalry is forbidden by martial arts, and once you have some skills, you will have the idea of disobeying discipline and disobeying the rules.

Even Li Qing, who was relatively mild and calm, had thought of forcibly entering the city, not to mention other cultivators? Those who were successful in cultivating the Tao basically had no low skills, and when they were blocked out and were dissatisfied, they would take action, and in this way, they would break the rules.

As you can imagine, these days, there must be a lot of such things. "In addition to cultivators, there are also some people who practice martial arts, there are many martial arts masters, internal strength masters, and martial arts young heroes, most of whom heard about the Beijing Daomen Conference and came to join in the fun. ”

The steward paused and said: "Of course, because of Si Tiantai, basically the cultivators don't show their means much, and even if some of them make a move, they are all characters in the Qi cultivation realm, and in the eyes of outsiders, they are just outstanding in martial arts." ”

"I have been waiting here for several days on the orders of my family, and I am finally looking forward to Li Gongzi. "The steward chattered, not like a master of the rivers and lakes, but like a real housekeeper, slowly telling many things.

At the end, he also advised: "Since Gongzi Li is a cultivator, then he will be on Si Tiantai's list, so in this capital, it is not good to show his true skills." Of course, if someone provokes or even attacks, he can fight back, even if he uses immortal powers, Si Tiantai will open his way. ”

"However, in Luoyang City, whether it is a cultivator or a martial artist, they are relatively peaceful. After listening for a long time, Li Qing nodded slightly. After a while, Li Qingcai asked, "How does Liu Yushi know my identity as a cultivator, and why do you wait here until nightfall?" The steward smiled, shook his head, and did not answer.
