The two of you chased after me, Su Chongxiu was busy, and escaped from his arms to read the book, the warrior was embarrassed, so he coughed and said, "Miss, Young Master Su is still here." ”

Duan Ruyi stopped and glared at Lin Yi angrily, and the warrior shouted again, only then did he think of the distinguished guest, and he turned around and said, "Young Master Su...... Which gust of wind brought you here?"

"Nerd, people call you!" Luo Caiwei reminded him by nudging him.

"Oh. Su Chongxiu put the scroll in his arms and asked blankly, "What did Miss Duan just say?"

"Master Su, beware of walking and falling. Duan Ruyi straightened her sleeves and rolled her eyes, "You are not staying in Shujing, what are you doing in Song Kingdom?"

"Xiaosheng went to Pengzhou Xingyuezhai here, and happened to pass through Chongzhou, and was recognized by this Guan Jun brother, so he came to disturb him, and Miss Duan should not be annoyed. Su Chongxiu nodded slightly, and his tone was kind.

"Do you also want to participate in the spiritual officer assessment?" Duan Ruyi was surprised, incredulous.

"Hmm. Su Chongxiu pursed her lips and smiled, and said leisurely: "Learning on paper is shallow in the end, it is better to experience it in person, so as to experience the hardships of cultivation." ”

"That's how you can toss. Duan Ruyi glanced at the sky, the bright moon was rising in the east, and it was late, so she took off her coat, hung it on the shelf, and walked away, "Let's go, let's go to the house for dinner." ”

The samurai took her leave, and the rest followed her out of the courtyard and through the streets. Duan Ruyi said: "Xingyuezhai stipulates that the test takers will take the animal chariot uniformly, which will be arranged by the state government, and you will have to wait for twenty days, if there is nothing else, you might as well rest at my house." ”

"Thank you, Miss Duan. Lin Yi said gratefully.

Everyone walked straight along the official road and stopped in front of a mansion, with a high wall and a hundred acres of land, which was mighty. There were eight guards standing at the gate, all dressed in bright silver armor, with crossbows in their hands and solemn eyes. There are also two black-clawed wooden lions squatting next to them, majestic, like living creatures, squatting with their heads held high, majestic.

Lin Yi was intimidated by the momentum, and when he looked at it, the pavilions inside were staggered, the carved eaves were boundless, even if it was the Lingguan Mansion in Luoshan, it was far from being luxurious.

"Hello Miss, you're back. The guards bowed and let them go.

Lin Yi and the others stepped into the main gate and faced a vast square, with floor tiles all paved with white jade. In the center, there is a statue of a man, whose face is about middle-aged, as high as three feet, holding a hammer in his left hand and placing it in front of his waist;

Su Chongxiu raised his head and asked, "Miss Duan, this is your grandfather, Lord Tiancheng of the Organ Saint Method?"

"Exactly. Duan Ruyi saluted respectfully to the stone carving, her eyes full of fascination.

"The juniors have seen Grandmaster Duan. Lin Yi bent down and bowed his hand, with a solemn attitude. A few days ago, I read the biography of this person in the Chronicles of the Terroir, who was a great sage of the Song Dynasty, created the core of the elixir, turned decay into magic, and his name was not under the princes.

Duan Ruyi couldn't help but feel good when she saw that he was behaving sincerely, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Lin Yi withdrew his hand and said: "The juniors know a little bit about Sect Master Duan, and it all looks from the book, but they don't know what the core of the elixir is made of, and it can be reborn from the dead. ”

Duan Ruyi approached him and explained, "The Heavenly Book Mansion Spirit Official takes a hundred herbs and cultivates the elixir in the furnace, which can nourish vitality, improve cultivation, and heal injuries, which is quite valuable. Fifty years ago, my grandfather used the elixir as the foundation, and with the modification, he used it in the trap beast to make it go away.

The original core could only supply half a pillar of incense kung fu, but after the development and upgrading, the latest spirit core has allowed them to run for hundreds of hours. That said, because the cost of the new spirit core is high, it is far better than gold jewelry, and only the palace can afford it. Most of the people use type three or four, which can maintain the activity of the animal for three to six hours. ”

"Uh-huh. Lin Yi kept nodding, and Duan Ruyi said with emotion: "A trap beast can work for ten ordinary people, and if you calculate it carefully, you can earn a lot of money...... Many spirit officials took advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune by refining the spirit pill. ”

"Are those immortal characters also greedy for money?" Lin Yi said.

"Lingguan are not immortals, they are also human beings, and they still have seven emotions and six desires, but they are more restrained. Su Chongxiu interjected, sighed secretly, and asked him, "Young Master Lin, why is the spirit official?"

Lin Yi thought for a while and said: "Since the spiritual officer is a cultivator, he has practiced his supernatural powers hard, supported the right path, and helped the world to save people. ”

"That's right. Su Chongxiu also agreed, and then asked: "What is the purpose of cultivation—is it to seek immortality, cleanse mortal wombs, and reshape the immortal body, or to practice a body of mystical law, to travel freely and unrestrained, or to get tired of the troubles, live in seclusion in the mountains, and ignore the mundane dust?"

Lin Yi was thinking sadly, and Su Chongxiu had already said to himself: "No matter what the picture is, every breath, every thought is a desire, and even the cultivation itself is an obsession, how can you abandon the seven emotions and six desires and escape into the Skyclave?"

Lin Yi suddenly realized and admired: "What Brother Su said is extremely true, the way of heaven is obedient, everything flows, every move, there is something to seek, even if it is to give up the idea of delusion, it is also desire." If time and space stand still, the sun and the moon stop turning, compared with the passage of time, birds and beasts go, it is still a contrast change, and yin and yang do not stop. To be famous and nameless, in the end, it is just a matter of self-deception. ”

Su Chongxiu smiled, "Brother Lin is good, be my confidant!"

Luo Caiwei was confused and stunned. Lin Yi asked again: "Why does Su practice?"

"For-" Su Chongxiu was about to answer, but Duan Ruyi pouted and interrupted: "Okay, there is a sour and rancid smell, look at the sky, you two don't have to talk about it, even if you smell the same, you have to wait until the dinner party and sit in the corner to drink a Gu." ”

"No, no, no, to become a confidant is not in wine and meat, but in a heart-to-heart agreement. Su Chongxiu shook his head again and again, sighing in his mouth, "You are a layman, I won't tell you." ”

"The surname Su?" Duan Ruyi raised her eyebrows and was angry.

Everyone walked into the main hall, and a middle-aged man was sitting in front of the desk, depicting Danqing, and Duan Ruyi shouted: "Daddy." ”

"Hey. The man turned his head and looked at it, swept over Su Chongxiu's face, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said happily: "You are-"

Su Chongxiu waved his hand secretly, and the man immediately changed his words: "Master Su is here, making Duan a certain Pengsheng shine!

Lin Yi's facial muscles were beating, he was stunned, and said in his heart: "Could it be that he is a relative of the emperor?"

The man was six feet tall, full of heaven, round in the earth, and had a rich and noble face. Only at this time did he notice Lin Yi and the others, and greeted Yan: "I am Duan Jing, the city lord of Kuimu City in Chongzhou, and the two young men are Su Gongzi's entourage?"

Lin Yi was about to deny it, but Su Chongxiu said: "They are my friends, and their relationship is extraordinary. ”

Duan Jing didn't dare to despise it, and asked the servant to bring tea and water. Lin Yi looked at the empty chair beside him, although Duan Jing's mouth was hot, it was impossible for him to watch the seats for them personally, just waiting for the slaves and maids to be busy, otherwise he would surrender his identity, which would make people look down on him.

The two beautiful maidservants brought a circle chair, and Lin Yi thanked him and sat down, only to feel that the goose feather cushion was soft and crispy, and his body was like falling into the clouds, and his spirit was fluttering. Take a sip of warm tea to moisten your throat, look down, the ground is covered with a precious beast blanket, like a beaver fur, the fireplace not far away is burning brightly, and the room is warm.

Duan Jingfang smiled and asked, "Young Master Su, is it out?"

Su Chongxiu snorted the fragrant juice on the tip of her tongue and pondered: "First of all, the special product of Shu is Chunshan Dew - Duan City Lord, you have a heart, this tea is fragrant and not bitter, sweet and fragrant, and it is most suitable for making flower tea." The second is the South Island green kumquat, which is delicate and sweet, and some Song Wanhua Valley honey is added...... It is even more rare for this master to mix all kinds of flavors, many but not mixed, quite refreshing, so that people want to drink another cup. ”

"Haha, I really can't hide Su Gongzi's golden tongue. Duan Jing gave a thumbs up and praised, "If you like it, I will send someone to your mansion for this tea master." ”

After being polite again, he took the opportunity to ask, "But Master Su is going to Xingyuezhai to take the exam?"

"As the city lord Duan said. Su Chongxiu generously admitted.

Duan Jing said: "I have met with Elder Xingyuezhai a few times, so I will tell you that Young Master Su will definitely be selected." ”

"No hassle. Su Chongxiu waved his hand and said, "I want to pass the assessment with my own ability." ”

"Of course, Su Gongzi was born in a famous family, and he is also an elite in martial arts. Duan Jing said solemnly, and his voice changed: "But you still have to greet you, so as not to snub your guests." ”

Luo Caiwei leaned into Lin Yi's ear and said softly, "Why has this city lord been currying favor with nerds?"

Lin Yi smiled and lowered his voice to explain: "On the contrary, City Lord Duan is flattering on the surface, but secretly swearing sovereignty, which can not only show the generosity of the head of a city, but also befriend Su Gongzi, and the means are extremely clever. ”

Luo Caiwei opened her mouth and was stunned, and when she looked back at the conversation between the two on the field, she felt completely different.

As he spoke, the slaves and maidservants brought a dinner and waited for them to eat, taking care of everything. Lin Yi was a little ashamed, he couldn't let go of his movements, and only had a bottom in his belly. And Duan Ruyi and Su Chongxiu were accustomed to it and behaved as usual, Luo Caiwei was even more heartless, and went directly to fish for sea cucumbers, but she didn't catch it and slipped into Su Chongxiu's collar with a snort.

Duan City Lord's face turned black in an instant, and Su Chongxiu was still thinking about the few books in the basket, and he didn't realize it.

Luo Caiwei pulled open his collar and pulled out the sea cucumber, the soup inside was thick and black. Duan's City Lord's eyes widened, and Luo Caiwei's eyes showed embarrassment: "Nerd, I'm sorry......"

Su Chongxiu came back to her senses, hugged her shoulders and said, "It's okay, Miss Luo doesn't blame herself." Regardless of the itching on the back of his neck, he handed Lin Yi a wine cup, "Come, Lin Gongzi, drink this bowl, we are confidants." ”

"Young Master Su, how can you deign!" Duan City Lord exclaimed.

"I smell the same thing as him, but it's fate. Su Chongxiu laughed at himself, and when he didn't answer, he frowned and asked, "What, don't you want to?"

Lin Yi was stunned for a few moments, and then raised his eyebrows and smiled, smiling lightly, what kind of identity is respectful, the poor and powerful are all left behind. He took the wine cup with one hand, slapped the table, raised his head and drank it all, and hung the empty bowl upside down.

"That's how you're supposed to be human. Su Chongxiu's eyes were pleased, and he also filled the wine cup, stood up, and said loudly: "Good confidant, just now you asked me why I practice, and now I will tell you, in order to transcend the shackles of the mundane!"

After that, drink it all in one gulp, and be proud.

Luo Caiwei looked at the fun, and also inserted into the team, drank a cow, crossed her waist with a red face, and laughed: "I want to be a heroine, I will be famous all over the world in the future, and teach him to everyone!"

"After that, when Xiaosheng encounters danger, he has to rely on the power of the heroine. Su Chongxiu quipped.

"Well said!" Luo Caiwei patted her chest.

Lin Yi looked at Duan Ruyi, who sighed helplessly, took the wine glass and drank it dry, spicy, "Accompany you to have a drink, and remember to lend me the divine soldier to disassemble and study later." ”

Duan Jing was so angry that his chest tightened, and he shook his head to himself: "Nonsense, nonsense!"
