Chapter 33
According to Qingchengzi's own thoughts, no matter what, this Fang Cheng can't be tempted, even if it is a spy sent to Qingyun Sect by Qingyun County to spy on the internal intelligence of Qingyun Sect, then he must be a dumb person with Coptis chinensis. Besides, the two immortals whose strength cultivation far surpassed ordinary people would go to such great lengths to hollow out these careful thoughts for a small Qingyun Sect, obviously, this is impossible, if there is really a conflict of dissent, for them, it is as simple as raising their hands to be negative. Therefore, Qingchengzi was resolute about his junior brother revealing some news about Fang Cheng.
Qingchengzi knew very well the importance of Fang Cheng to that female immortal, and he had seen it with his own eyes.
In the Qingyun Palace, Qingxiaozi walked back and forth, and the folding fan in his hand opened and closed, closed and opened.
Qing Chengzi looked at Qing Xiaozi with a staggering gait, and was a little worried. He, the junior brother, thinks too much, thinks too thoroughly, the master accepts the three of them as apprentices, and the last person chooses Qingxiaozi, what he likes is his mind, or his city, since the opening of Qingyun Sect, most of the judgments that discuss right and wrong are judged by Qingxiaozi, and it is true that these repeated decisions have more or less brought far more than expected benefits to Qingyun Sect, but this kind of blind calmness can sometimes be harmful.
The world is impermanent, and immortals are also cultivated by people, and they are all secret.
Qingchengzi didn't speak, he wanted to wait for an answer.
In fact, this kind of thing has no result in itself.
Qing Xiaozi seemed to be a little tired, stood still on his feet, lowered his head to look at the ground, and patted his legs with the handle of the fan on his back.
"How many silver taels are these floor tiles. Qing Xiaozi opened his mouth, as if asking himself.
Qingchengzi looked at the soles of Qingxiaozi's feet, and replied with a smile: "The stonemason I was looking for in Qingyun County at that time asked us for five taels of silver at the beginning, so that you could go up for a sugar-coated cannonball, and finally sold it to us for three taels. ”
After thinking about it, Qingchengzi added, "At that time, I also promised to let the stonemason's son cultivate immortals in our Qingyun Sect, and the stonemason was willing to carry this floor tile to Qingyun Mountain." ”
"In the end, there is still some to earn..."Qing Xiaozi didn't care, and continued to slap his legs with a fan.
Before Qing Xiaozi met his master, his life was not very good. At that time, the family was in the middle, and his father and mother worked hard to be lonely, so he was such a showman, and he was a poor showman, fortunately, Qingxiaozi was quite knowledgeable, and he won the champion after studying hard for more than ten years.
It is said that this is the champion, proud of the Spring Breeze Palace, and the glory of the Marquis of Wanhu, a person or the entire family can follow the attainments of the title of this gold list. But when Qingxiaozi was about to go to Beijing to be sealed, he was inexplicably excluded from the quota, knowing that this kind of absurd thing had happened, Qingxiaozi first panicked, and then angrily went to the government to theorize, and waited until Qingxiaozi was driven out of the door by the military service in the house, and the sad Qingxiaozi was lying on the street.
At that time, Qing Xiaozi was very sad and thought about dying Mingzhi, and was about to hang the beam to find a short time, when Qing Xiaozi was surrounded by clouds and smoke, and an old man in simple clothes appeared.
Qing Xiaozi, who was in despair, had only read about these legendary immortal masters and monks on Hearsay, and when the opportunity really came to his ears, Qing Xiaozi was a little hesitant, he couldn't even be a champion who had already been admitted, he didn't feel that he was a person who cultivated immortals. The old man who heard someone reject him for the first time couldn't help but wonder, so he simply carefully listed Qingxiaozi's current situation and future development, and the exquisite person, it may not be a good thing to tell it all.
In the end, Qingxiaozi worshipped the old man as a teacher, not for anything else, just for the old man to put his heart into himself when he met for the first time and treat himself as if he were out.
Actually, Qingxiaozi was not originally called Qingxiaozi, but since he worshipped the master and cultivated immortals, there is only Qingxiaozi.
On the list, the rain fell.
"Why do you suddenly want to ask this?" Qingchengzi was a little confused.
Qingxiaozi listened to his senior brother's words and didn't look up, "I remember that when I went to Qingyun County some time ago, the floor tiles rose to eight taels. ”
"Senior brother, you say..."Qing Xiaozi's tone changed, and he didn't have a reason to sell it.
Qingchengzi listened attentively.
"You said that this side is worth eight taels of silver" Qing Xiaozi spread his fan in front of him, raised his head and smiled.
Qingchengzi's heart sank after hearing this, and the most worrying thing still appeared.
"Senior brother... I remind you," Qingchengzi's mother-in-law spoke.
"Your senior brother and I are not scholars, so I can't refute you with that kind of particularly awkward words, but you have to understand that this Fang Cheng is very different from what you imagined anyway, the meaning of his existence in the Qingyun Sect is not like that of the stonemason's son, the former is dispensable, but this Fang Cheng, he was sent by two late Mahayana monks!" When he said the last few words, Qingchengzi's tone was obviously heavier.
"And the people are just staying here temporarily, and they will leave the Qingyun Sect after Yuan Ying. ”
"The most important thing is...", on the contrary, Qingchengzi sold Qingxiaozi a real pass.
Qing Xiaozi was carefully weighing the weight of his senior brother's words, and when he heard that there was still a point, he immediately spoke up: "Please also ask senior brother to speak clearly." ”
Qingchengzi coughed slightly, and his waist straightened a lot.
"One of those two immortals has promised our Qingyun Sect that as long as this Fang Cheng can successfully cultivate into a Yuan Infant in the Qingyun Sect, he will send us a formation comparable to the mid-stage cultivation of the gods to protect the mountain. Qingchengzi said the promise that Sun Ce had made when he was worshipping in the Qingyun Sect that day.
"It's much more than that, senior brother..."Qing Xiaozi said unintentionally, playing with the fan.
"That's for sure!" Qingchengzi suddenly became excited.
"The immortal also said that as long as this matter is handled properly, he will teach the three of us senior brothers the immortal dao attainments, do you know, how precious the immortal dao attainments of the late stage of the transformation of the gods are!"
Qing Xiaozi, who realized it later, stopped his hand movements and nodded blankly, this kid turned out to be so valuable! But immediately, Qing Xiaozi looked a little contradictory, and asked, "But I have checked, this Fang Cheng belongs to the same village as that Chen Liujia in Qingyun County, and it is also a neighbor to the door." ”
"Alas..."Qingchengzi sighed, he also only knew the news, if he had known earlier, he could have knocked on the side before Fang Cheng entered the Qingyun Sect, and asked the two immortals if they knew the new county commander of Qingyun County.
"I have time, go and ask Fang Cheng in private" Qingchengzi is determined, this matter has to be considered in the long run, it involves the interests of Qingyun Sect and Qingyun County, if it is really the two immortals and this county order to know, what is wrong with what Qingyun Sect did caused the two immortals to be moved by Qingyun Sect, and they can also make up for it.
Qing Xiaozi put away the folding fan and nodded.
His first reaction when Hou Min informed Fang Cheng of his background was to think of these, but what Qingxiaozi was most worried about was not the resistance of the two immortals, but the business relationship between Qingyun County and Qingyun Sect.
Qingyun Sect will transport a batch of body-strengthening pills to Qingyun County every month to sell, relying on the blessing of the immortal master, the sales of pills are quite strong, and they are almost sold out when the market opens. In this way, the sale of pills should have been a happy thing for both of them, but something went wrong.
The Fuhua Dynasty paid extremely high taxes on medicinal materials, and seemed to be intent on suppressing this link and blocking other immortal master sects as sect income. In the long run, some sects have colluded with local officials in private, and the fact that the pills entering the city is not recorded in the tax books, and it has turned into a gray transaction, and one of the profits from the sale of those pills has become the wealth of the fornicating officials.
Of course, Qingyun County and Qingyun Sect, a county of mountains, have not been spared, the mountains eat the mountains, and the counties eat the counties.
Qingyun County and Qingyun Sect, who were originally in love with each other, became contrary to each other because of the change of county orders. When Qingxiaozi went down the mountain to inquire about this matter, he wanted to kill this Chen Liujia on the spot, but he still held back, first, he pleaded in the officialdom of Qingyun County, and second, this person was someone Xie Lu knew. Actually, there is another point, this Chen Liujia can't die yet.
Qingxiaozi also knows that Chen Liujia has a high-spirited style and is a good official, but the recent rectification incident in Qingyun City must have an ending, and there must be an ending that is inclined to their Qingyun Sect.
Thinking of this, Qing Xiaozi's face was expressionless.
If Qingyun Sect came forward to kill Chen Liujia, it happened to accept the borrowed knife of Nanlai Prefecture to kill people, so that the public opinion of Qingyun County would also fall to the side of the dynasty, but Qingyun Sect, an immortal sect, would become a bandit nest, and between recruiting and exterminating, it would become as simple as an edict.
But even if he doesn't operate the incident in Qingyun County, the Nanlai Prefecture Government will still send someone to solve the affairs in Qingyun County, force Qingyunzong to show his head, and then justifiably increase various tax debts, and then use the reason that Chen Liujia was killed to attack Qingyunzong and take advantage of it.
In the Qingyun Palace, the two brothers were silent.
——
The capital of Nam Lae State.
In the study, a middle-aged man in a bright python suit was playing Go with an old man wearing a black scarf.
On the python suit, the gold-patterned four-clawed green python plate embroidered lying on the sewn robe is lifelike.
The middle-aged man wears a red jade crown on his head, and he is at ease.
"Master Cao, you said that my one hundred and seventy-eighth hand is a good town. ”
After that, the middle-aged man wanted to land on the chessboard, but when he was an inch away from the chessboard, he didn't move.
"It's still broken..."The middle-aged man seemed to hesitate.
The old man who was called Master Cao did not raise his eyes, looked at the black and white chess pieces on the chessboard with a slight low gaze, and said cryptically: "Huihou Wang, whether it is a town or a break, this game is won." ”
The middle-aged man smiled slightly when he heard this, and fell into place.
