Chapter 601: Miscellaneous Notes
When Wuxu returned to the city lord's mansion, he suddenly remembered that the left and right counselors of Yongzhou died, and the court did not reappoint them. If you want to organize this feast for the people, I don't know if these people who are staying in the city today will be able to do it, and you must always find someone to handle the coordination. Wuxu thought about it, and then summoned Su Ji.
After a while, Su Ji came in a hurry. Hearing about the feast of the people, Su Ji groaned slightly, and then said, "This time, although the garrison will bear the expenses, it will not necessarily be next year. Therefore, first of all, the lord of the castle needs to make a general charter. ”
This sentence is a reminder of Wuxu. Wuxu nodded and said, "Overall, it should be simple. But there is such a lantern, so it is natural to have it. For the rest, you refer to the previous Yongzhou convention. Then he listed the bills for expenses, and went to the plum garden to report to General Zeng, and if he agreed, he would show them to me. ”
In the evening, Su Ji came to return to his life. Wuxu Divine Sense looked at the jade slip presented,
Time: Chinese New Year's Eve, the first day of the new year, two days.
On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, a banquet will be held at the same time as the Wanshi Grand Gathering and the Huanzhu Building. All monks, whether they are good or evil, whether they are in the realm of cultivation, can come. Of course, there are many detailed rules, where are the true spiritual monks, what kind of treatment, what are the real monks, what are the mortal monks...
On the first day of junior high school, in the plum garden, a garden party was held. In the morning, step on the plum to find spring, there are treasures to be found, there is a fate to get it; in the afternoon, try the fighting method, the top ten winners, reward a number of spiritual resources. That treasure, that reward, turned out to be a true zero level.
Naturally, it is inevitable that the lights are colorful and the flowers are clustered.
"You actually want three thousand spirit stones?" Wuxu looked at it carefully, frowned and said, "Also, when this people-friendly feast was held before, the ordinary people had never moved to another place. Since it is close to the people, in the past two days, why not lift the ban, inside and outside Yongzhou City, regardless of the monks and layman, are unimpeded. ”
"Three thousand lower grade spirit stones, compared to Yongzhou in previous years, it is a little more. However, on General Zeng's side, it was arranged, such as the activities of the first year of junior high school. As for the cost, General Zeng also promised to bear it. Su Ji explained, and then asked, "Is it possible for ordinary people to freely enter and leave the garden party on the first day of junior high school?"
"It's nature. Wuxu replied, "Stepping on the plum to find spring, the treasure is fated to be obtained, and ordinary people, is there no fate? As for the afternoon competition, they can also take a look." ”
Su Ji thought about it and replied, "On the morning of the first day of the new year, stepping on the plum to find spring, there should be a fantasy. In the afternoon's monk competition, I am afraid that it is difficult to protect and there are some surprises. ”
He feared for the safety of the mundane.
Wuxu also thought about it, and said slowly, "Announce it in advance, make it clear, that's it." It's our business whether to let or not come, and it's their business whether to come or not. ”
Su Ji, bow down, and then retreat.
Wuxu stopped him again, "This Spring Festival, after all, is the Spring Festival of ordinary people, over there in Snow Peach Valley, how did you make specific arrangements?"
Su Ji replied, "Ordinary people, the younger generation also refers to the previous practice in Yongzhou, and plans to directly allocate ten lower grade spirit stones from the City Lord's Mansion to purchase some wine, food and daily necessities, and distribute them by special personnel. ”
"Pull out twenty lower grade spirit stones. Wuxu looked at Su Ji and said, "The purchase should also be planned earlier, now that the Great Zhou and the Six Sects have jointly reformed and changed the law, some things can be purchased from the Reverse Heaven Alliance." ”
There are only one or twenty low-grade spirit stones, which seems to have doubled, but in fact, there are not many. There are still some spirit stones in the city lord's mansion.
Su Ji naturally said, "The city lord is merciful."
Wuxu heard this, but he was a little embarrassed, and only instructed Su Ji, "Pudu sentient beings, the little monk just tried his best." Taoist friends, Confucian monks, this time you need to take a lot of trouble and enjoy with the people. “
Su Ji replied solemnly, "I will not disgrace my mission!"
Although the general rules of the feast have been decided, there are still many cumbersome details that need to be carefully considered. Su Ji retreated from Wuxu's secret room, went to the side offices on the left and right sides of the front hall, and then went to the guards next to the gate, and connected many things, and finally came out of a side door, stepped on the stone platform, passed the longevity monument, and returned to his residence in the Huanzhu Building.
After sitting quietly for a while, Su Ji called people in from time to time, and carefully explained the affairs related to the banquet in the Pearl Tower on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, until the time of the child, it was not temporarily over.
Su Ji turned off the lights and sat quietly for a while, then got up again, walked out of the Huanzhu Tower, and went straight to the East City Gate. Today's Suji is already recognized by many people. The sergeant guarding the city greeted with a smile, "Mr. Su, it's so late, and you still have to go out of the city?"
Su Ji, holding his hand, Shi Shiran nodded, "The Spring Festival is approaching, Su was ordered to prepare for the celebration, but he can't rest assured that the people outside the city will not be relieved. These days, there is always time to make rounds. ”
"Mr. Su is worthy of a Confucian overhaul, loves the people like a son, and has worked hard. The leading sergeant couldn't help but extend his thumbs up and give a thumbs up.
Out of the East City Gate, there is also a checkpoint set up by the anti-smuggling team under the command of the right counselor. Su Ji showed the token of the City Lord's Mansion and walked all the way, but the passage was unimpeded.
When he arrived at Snow Peach Valley, Su Ji didn't alarm Zhang Cuilu and the others, and was alone, taking a closer look around in Snow Peach Valley before turning around and leaving.
But Sugi didn't go back the way he came. As soon as he came out of Snow Peach Valley, he did not walk towards the anti-smuggling team checkpoint, but turned around and walked slowly in the northwest direction, and it didn't take long for the figure to disappear completely.
In the snowy night, Su Ji turned his figure into a faint gray shadow, carefully blended in the wind and snow, and flew for a while before he stopped and showed his figure. He stretched out his hand to separate the huge bushes in front of him, and said to the stone cave behind the bushes, "The junior went to the plum garden today, but Nazengshan usually sits in the pavilion to enjoy the flowers, and his resting place is only fifty meters away. The juniors have no way at all, and please forgive the seniors. ”
After a few moments, the cave flickered with a faint white phosphorescence. A woman's voice came from the stone cave, "Zeng Shan always has a time to leave the plum garden, and then you can go again." As soon as you get the things in the pavilion, I will give you the antidote. Also, did you buy the elixir?"
Su Ji shook his head slightly, "Since the reform and change, there has been no cash or goods in Yongzhou City for the True Spirit Level Psychic Pill. The younger generation tried every possible way to inquire that there may be an underground black market tomorrow, but it is estimated that the price will be very high. The younger generation is afraid that when the time comes, they can't afford it even if they have the heart. “
Suddenly, Su Ji's face changed, his figure was distorted, and countless eerie ghosts floated out of his body, and from a distance, the whole person was like a ghost fire. Suji threw herself to the ground and couldn't help but moan under her breath.
At this time, there was a sudden flash of crystal light in the cave, and then a pile of spirit stones flew out, as many as thousands, all of which fell down in a hurry, pressing on Su Ji like a small mountain, almost burying him alive.
"Be sure to send the elixir tomorrow. The woman's voice came from the depths of the cave, "Remember! There are still three days! After three days, the Heavenly Demon Heart Devouring Pill in your body will completely explode." “
"In three days, it's really impossible. Su Ji was gasping on the ground, but the city lord discussed with General Zeng to hold a people-friendly feast on Chinese New Year's Eve and the first day of the new year, and ordered the juniors to take charge of specific affairs. At that time, the younger generation could take the opportunity to retrieve the things of the predecessors. “
"Come forward!" the woman replied after a moment. At the same time, a strong force came from the cave, pulling Su Ji on the ground from under a pile of spirit stones to the entrance of the cave.
I saw that a finger that was a little white and a little strange stretched out from the darkness and lightly dotted Su Ji's forehead.
"The fragrance of the plum blossom in this palace can temporarily suppress the Heavenly Ghost Heart Devouring Pill in your body. Hello for it!"
Lamei Piaoxiang refers to the famous skills of the Lamei fairy Jiang Ping, and the ordinary people in Yongzhou know it.
When Su Ji returned to Yongzhou City, it was already the second half of the night. At the gate of the city, after greeting another group of rotating sergeants, he did not return to the residence of the Pearl Tower, but quietly came to the mansion of the Yelu family. Not only that, but he also put on a mask, and the momentum of his whole body also changed, with a ghostly aura and yin yin, and there was no doubt that he was full of ghost cultivation.
Su Ji walked to an abandoned rockery in the back garden of Yelu's mansion with a ghostly look. This rockery, after the previous killing, has long ceased to be majestic and majestic, full of holes, many stones are also misplaced, to be precise, it is a chaotic stone hill full of evil spirit.
Su Ji came to a half-man-high cave with ease, and walked in. After about 100 meters of the slope, the left and right sides gradually widen. Then, there was a door, and outside the door stood two mid-level monks of the real life. They were all dressed in black and wore black cloaks. Su Ji took out two spirit stones, handed them to the two monks, and lifted the bead curtain.
This is an underground world, a miniature version of Yongzhou. The whole layout also refers to the Yongzhou City on the ground. Hundreds of monks, either wearing black cloaks or some other mask that could hide the changed face and breath or something. With their hidden spiritual resources, they hid underground, and ate and drank more frantically and comfortably.
The reason why I say crazy is because, since it is an underground world, many things that cannot see the light appear. Those who directly provided assassination services and bought and sold spirit slaves all appeared in a grand manner. It's an inevitability.
This underground world appeared on the second day of the appearance of the anti-smuggling detachment. More and more people are coming. things, and more and more. What's even more rare is that until now, it has not been discovered by Wuxu and Zeng Shan. The people behind the scenes, obviously.
Su Ji also happened to know about many specific affairs of Huanzhu Building. After all, whether it is above or below the ground, the spiritual wine in the mouth of the Dao is not divided between the ground and the ground. The allocation and supply of many spiritual resources, no matter how secret, are actually traceable.
But Sugi, here, is not here to enjoy. He walked straight to a small building called auspicious ruyi, and asked the chubby shopkeeper, "Is there any scorching sun?"
The chubby middle-aged shopkeeper looked at Su Ji and replied with a smile, "Lie Yang San, Your Excellency wants to deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestor?"
The monks next to him all laughed.
Lieyang San, which is made of a kind of Blazing Sun Grass that is extremely strong and yang, is powdered, and is extremely harmful to ghost cultivators. It is said that there was once a Confucian real monk, who used the Confucian's majestic righteousness to urge a finger-sized Burning Sun Scatter to sneak attack a true spirit ghost cultivator, and even hit him hard.
Su Ji only asked, "Is there any?"
The fat shopkeeper looked at Su Ji like a fool, "The main spiritual asset for refining Lieyang San, Lieyang Grass, comes from Xuanyang Xing. How could Yongzhou City have such an object?"
Sugi was silent for a moment, then turned and left.
The chubby shopkeeper looked at Su Ji's back, and suddenly said, "Your Excellency, you might as well go and ask Master Wuxu, the current city lord of Yongzhou City." “
Master Wuxu, the lord of Yongzhou City, is a true spiritual monk of Buddhism, and it is naturally easy to kill one or two ghost cultivators. However, I'm afraid that even with it, Su Ji's ghost cultivator will also be killed.
The monk next to him laughed again.
Sugi didn't answer and didn't look back.
The fat shopkeeper glanced slightly. Then two monks got up and went out.
A moment later, the two monks stood on the side of the rockery in the back garden of the Jerod's mansion, looking at each other. They had been following Sugi, but they didn't want to be lost as soon as they reached the ground. The entire Yelu Mansion is still full of evil spirits, but there is not the slightest trace of ghost energy. It's really haunted!
On the second day, the news that Yongzhou was still going to hold a people-friendly feast this year spread. Su Ji took the city lord's mansion and a group of people, and officially notified all the forces in the city one by one. Then, big red lanterns were hung high everywhere. The fierce anti-smuggling detachment in the city was also much gentler, and when it came to the back, they simply stopped showing up. The relevant spiritual resources purchase, the east and west city gates, are also open to the green light, all are released, of course, when you go out, you still check very strictly and carefully.
The monks of the city all came out one after another to inquire about the details of the feast. On the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, what is the menu where you can eat and drink for free?What are the prizes for the garden party?Who will participate in the competition?What are the rewards for the top 10?。。。。。。
It's really a little more lively than before.
Su Ji took people and was busy, comparable to Wang Xifeng's preparation for Jia Yuanchun's return to the province.
On this day, after Su Ji led people to inspect the fireworks, he suddenly slapped his forehead, "Why did you forget the monastery?"
"There don't seem to be many people in the monastery these days, and they are all monks. When the time comes, please let me know and please enter the city to participate in the feast. Someone suggested.
Sugi, waving his hand. During this period of time, he worked hard, his temples gradually frosted, no matter how big or small, he made overall arrangements, and won a lot of respect. Yes, Su Ji waved his hand, and everyone waited silently.
"The monastery is the first initiative of the city lord, that is, there is only one monk now, and Su should also go in person, as if visiting the family to inform the family. Everyone is busy going, Su goes out of the city, and he will go back when he goes. So saying, Sugi went their separate ways.
Su Ji then went out of the West City Gate to Niushou Mountain. But I saw that the monastery was now half-hidden in the clouds, and the red walls and green tiles were far away, but the gate was completely unknown.
Su Ji stood there and clasped his palms together, "Is Master Fafeng here?"
A moment later, He Qifeng (that is, the Great Elder of the Yin Yang Sect) showed his head in the clouds.
"What?"
"A feast for the people, the master must know?"
"Don't go!"
"I wonder what New Year's goods are needed by the monastery or Master Fafeng?"
"No, you don't!"
Su Ji sighed and whispered, "Some time ago, the master seemed to be looking for a True Spirit Level Blood Bat Neidan?"
He Qifeng was in mid-air, frowning and looking at Su Ji, "Since Mr. Su is here, please come in and talk about it." As soon as the words fell, a mountain road appeared in front of Su Ji.
Sugi hurriedly followed the mountain road and entered the monastery. About half an hour later, Su Ji came out of the clouds.
After descending Niushou Mountain, Su Ji inadvertently looked towards the garrison camp outside Xicheng, but saw that there were many monks' breaths inside, and some of them were quite strong, and even seemed to be above him. Su Ji couldn't help but feel a sigh in his heart, he heard that the previous reform and law changes, and there were many monks in the garrison, he didn't expect that his strength was still so strong.
At this time, two figures suddenly flew out of the barracks, and in a few breaths, they landed in front of Su Ji one after another. The monk who came first, dressed in a fiery red robe, holding a handful of glittering golden dust, looked at Su Ji with a hostile face, "Who are you? Why are you spying on the barracks?" Fortunately, at this time, the person who came closely followed was the left staff general Fu Yidao. He recognized Su Ji, and when he saw Su Ji, he said, "It turned out to be Mr. Su", and then hurriedly secretly interrogated the man. The man frowned, but did not speak.
Su Ji stood there quietly, seeing that the person was still stopping in front of him, and Fu Yidao stood there with a look of embarrassment, thought about it, and saluted to the person, "Senior is the Golden Dust Dao Master of the Fire Cloud Palace?"
"Huh?" The man, with a look of surprise on his face, opened his mouth to speak, but he stabbed at the side with a wry smile, "Since you have recognized this way, you are the steward of the City Lord's Mansion, and you will be wronged for a few days." ”
With that, the dust in his hand flew up, and the surrounding spiritual energy quickly gathered and turned into several golden swords, enveloping Su Ji's head.
I only heard Su Ji say unhurriedly, "The junior Su Ji has seen Master Jin Chen. ”
Jin Chenzi stopped the golden sword and asked in a deep voice, "You practice Confucianism, why do you call this Tao a master?"
Su Ji's hanging heart suddenly relaxed, and he immediately replied, "The junior is actually not the housekeeper of the City Lord's Mansion. In fact, the younger generation has been following the mystical Taoist since the world. ”
"Ziyang Palace Xuanjizi?" Jin Chenzi groaned, "Do you have a credential?"
Sugi thought for a moment and took out a token.
The round token, the size of a palm, warm as jade, a mountain peak in the background in front, vaguely a Xuanzi, and a Dao Palace in the background, vaguely a machine word, is made by the unique practice of the Daomen Ziyang Palace, and it cannot be faked.
Jin Chenzi knew it at a glance, then put away the dust, his face suddenly became much kinder, and he asked again, "This is Senior Brother Xuanji's personal token, how can it be in your hands?"
Su Ji replied respectfully, "The junior originally went to Canghai Academy with the master, but when he arrived in Yongzhou City, the old man met the old man, so he left the junior to help deal with some things. When the old man left, he temporarily gave this token to the junior. ”
"I see. Jin Chenzi nodded at Su Ji, "Since you are a close person to Senior Brother Xuanji, today's matter will be revealed." However, when you go back, you must not mention it to others. ”
Su Ji bowed again and replied respectfully, "The juniors understand. He saluted Fu Yidao again before leaving.
Su Ji entered the city in a cold sweat and came directly to the plum garden. Because of the reason for organizing a feast close to the people, Zeng Shan soon met him.
Zeng Shan was still sitting in that pavilion, and Su Ji walked cautiously along the flower path, not daring to look more, let alone releasing his divine sense.
"General Qiqi, Fang just came back from the monastery and saw the garrison barracks from a distance, and he suddenly woke up, and he had not thought about it before, but he had forgotten about the garrison's reward. Su Ji stood outside the pavilion and bowed and spoke.
Zeng Shan glanced at Su Ji, and after a moment, said with a smile, "If you don't say it, General Ben has forgotten about it." That's it, you have a heart. ”
Su Ji then asked, "I thought about it, on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, I would prepare more wine and food in Zhulou and distribute them to all parts of the garrison, but other than that, I couldn't think of anything else." So this time I came to ask for the guilt, and I also asked the general to show me. ”
"It's all forgiven. Zeng Shan waved his hand, "You also tell the city lord that on the garrison side, this general has his own arrangements, and as for the guards in the city lord's mansion, they should be rewarded." ”
Su Ji saw Zeng Shan waving his hand, so he had to say yes.
Out of the Plum Garden, Su Ji thought about it, then went to the City Lord's Mansion, first mentioned to Wuxu the matter of rewarding the garrison with the same rhetoric, and then repeated the conversation with Zeng Shandi who had just entered the Plum Garden.
After hearing this, Wuxu pondered for a moment and said, "There is a ready-made charter for this matter. The feast is close to the people, the affairs are complicated, you don't have to worry about this, the little monk will arrange it. ”
After a pause, Wu Xuan said again, "I can't imagine that these days, you, a real monk, are so busy that your sideburns turn white. Could it be because of the cultivation of the exercises? In the world, the little monk was fortunate enough to see a Confucian exercise called "Song of Righteousness." After a few days, when you are free, you can say that you can listen to it and confirm it one or two. ”
"Righteous Qi Song?" Su Ji's face suddenly changed, "But there is righteous qi in heaven and earth, mixed with manifolds of righteous qi songs?" How could he not be excited in his heart, the Nine Transformations of the Xuan Ying that he cultivated was from the same person as the Righteous Qi Song, if he could refer to one or two of them, he would definitely benefit greatly, and even get rid of the current dangerous situation.
After seeing Wuxu nodding, Su Ji's mood calmed down, and he only said abruptly, "Heaven and earth have righteousness, and miscellaneous manifolds." The same is true of a gentleman's conduct. ”
Wuxu glanced at Su Ji, "You have a righteous heart, you are convenient, and you can deal with yourself." ”
Su Ji, thoughtfully, finally said to Wuxu, "This feast, although the City Lord's Mansion is responsible for specific affairs, it is funded by the garrison, and even the reward is saved. Despite this, the younger generation is not talented, and many things are difficult to consider, and I hope that the city lord will bother to teach him. ”
Wu Xu's heart moved, and he glanced at Su Ji deeply, "I don't dare to give advice, since you are solely responsible for the matter, I naturally have no doubts." If there's anything wrong, it's not up to you. ”
Su Ji bowed away silently.
Wuxu pondered for a moment, summoned the guards, and ordered, "The main retreat in this city is to retreat. Before Chinese New Year's Eve, no one was seen. ”
