Yang Yanlang walked with his hands in his hands, boasting.

"I've only heard about Lao Shankui, and I've never seen it, but I've heard my nephew's description very similar to that person's words, so I guessed. ”

After a little thought, the general continued: "It is rumored that there are many spirits in the mountains, and there are many strange stories in the world, and the old mountain kui is the most common.

It is said that the old ape in the mountains understands human nature, can learn human language, learn human nature, if can live for more than 30 years, and often with people, they can open their minds, shed their long tails, understand human language, and can work with people.

But at this time, the old ape's mouth can't speak, and he can't walk like a human foothold, and then someone will be educated, and he will be able to get the Tao into a fine way, and the two legs are one, and the one-legged person stands, and the mouth spits out human words, and the magic that will confuse people's eyes is the old Shankui. ”

Listening to the anecdotal remarks made the young man stunned, it was like listening to the strange stories of his previous life.

In his previous life, Zhong Ming often listened to the old people tell stories about all kinds of mountain spirits, at most, the fox turned into a human form to bewitch the scholars, and the yellow skin blamed the Huohuo villagers.

I haven't heard the story of this old Shankui, but it sounds like it's not much different from the stories of the spirits in the previous life.

It seems that there are still many similarities between this era and previous lives, especially about ghosts and spirits.

After listening to this, the young man nodded and said, "According to my uncle's description, the one I met should be Lao Shankui, but it is one-legged, and its long face is somewhat similar to that of an ape, but it is much more hideous. ”

Yang Yanlang turned his head around, and said: "Lao Shankui is a spirit who likes people, he is kind to others, and he shouldn't hurt people at will, isn't it nephew, where did you provoke it?"

"I don't know, I rarely go to the barren hills, and I haven't seen the old mountain before. ”

Zhong Ming thought for a moment, but turned his gaze to the stone-locked mandarin duck in his arms, and so did Yang Yanlang's gaze.

Although the two did not speak, they thought the same thing.

The young man sighed and said, "I remember, the old Shankui said that I am Meng Lang, maybe he just wants to hand over the stone lock mandarin duck to me, but I am afraid that I will be wrong." ”

Yang Yanlang frowned and said: "This matter is difficult to do, if you hurt it, you are afraid of angering such spirits, they always have some means to confuse people, and they have a strong sense of revenge, and they are beasts in the end, there is no human nature, you still have to be careful during this time." ”

The general seems to have no good impression of the gods and spirits, and he can reveal it in his words.

Zhong Ming could only nod his head.

By this time the two had passed through the village to the young man's low hedge.

The oil lamps in the room were on, and the two young men with missing teeth carried full rice bags and walked out, in response to Zhong Ming's orders, to make rice.

When the two teenagers saw Zhong Ming and Yang Yanlang, their faces were panicked and they were about to kneel, Yang Yanlang smiled and raised his hand to support him, and the strong wind held the two teenagers and said, "You guys are busy, I'm just looking at it casually, don't be restrained." ”

The two young men hurriedly thanked the general, and said goodbye to Zhong Ming, and the young man in Mai also smiled: "Go and get busy, the adults will definitely ask you for the blame if you miss the dinner." ”

A joke made the two teenagers leave in fear, and they didn't dare to stop trotting all the way.

The oil lamp in the house was still on, Zhong Ming stepped in, after he entered the house, he first received the stone lock mandarin duck under the bed, and then opened the brocade box to look at it, the scattered silver had been taken away by Liang Yu to buy wine and food, and only ten gold ingots were left lying in it.

Naturally, Liang Yu didn't have to worry about the matter, and the young man didn't think much about it.

Yang Yanlang stepped into the hut with Zhong Ming, he looked around and sighed: "Sorry nephew, you are so shabby, the house will definitely leak in winter, right?"

"It's not a big deal, I use the stove to warm up in the winter, and there is a chimney to disperse smoke, so I am not afraid of miasma and can keep warm, which is fine. ”

Listening to Zhong Ming's answer, Yang Yanlang was not very satisfied, and said: "Nephew, you should finish the trivial matters as soon as possible and enter the city with your uncle, although it is not a magnificent mansion like Luoyang City, but it is also a courtyard with four entrances and four exits, and you will not be wronged." ”

The young man smiled dumbly, and only the number one family in the entire border town could live in the courtyard of the four entrances, and the general was really a nobleman, I am afraid that the general's mansion was only magnificent in his eyes.

After packing up his things, the young man blew out the oil lamp and said, "Uncle, let's go and wait at Uncle Sun's house, it's time for dinner later." ”

The general nodded, and had already begun to think in his heart, he had to send something to the young man tomorrow, and he could not let the young man suffer like this again.

The uncle and nephew began to walk back again, and on the way back, the village was already busy, and the sound of cooking rice could be heard in every household, and the aroma of rice wafted around the silt village.

On the road, a man stood in the courtyard and saw Zhong Ming, and hurriedly shouted "Mr. Zhong", and wanted to kneel down and salute when he saw Yang Yanlang.

Yang Yanlang was very patient and took the trouble to hold them up again and again.

The general's temper may be a little irritable, and his speech is a little straightforward, but he is indeed a good official who loves the people like a son.

Because it was a stroll, Zhong Ming also had many questions in his heart, so he took the opportunity to ask Yang Yanlang.

Zhong Ming was the most curious about the person who fought with the general today, so he asked: "Uncle, what is the origin of the immortal who fought with you in the public court today, I think he is very similar to Lao Shankui's methods, and there are some strange methods to deceive people's hearts. ”

Yang Yanlang sneered: "The ghost old fox moon immortal is just a group of fake immortals who know how to blind their eyes, how can they have such a fairy aura as rumored. The person I fought with today was just a small immortal official who was not of the grade, and with the swing of the silver dragon spear in my hand, I could take his head on the top, and I couldn't call him an immortal. ”

This is quite a long thing to say, and Yang Yanlang has to start with the vision of the Heavenly Crack three years ago.

Three years ago, the sky cracked and the moon was more than a month, and many immortal mansions descended from the cracks into the world, causing a shocking change in this era.

Li Yuan, the supreme emperor of the Tang Dynasty of the New Tang Dynasty, is the best among the beneficiaries, and he is helped by Bai Yujing on the Far North Wilderness Sea, and Bai Yujing, the contemporary master of Beijing, the cicada fairy, came to Luoyang City in person and said to the world: The destiny of heaven is returned, and it helps Er become the emperor!

At this point, the general shook his head and sneered: "What is the destiny of heaven, it is not the country that tens of millions of soldiers fought back with blood, and the cicada is just moving his mouth to create a few pairs of swords and armor." ”

Bai Yujing handed over 70,000 pairs of armor and horizontal knives with magical benefits to the Tang Dynasty, and built the invincible New Tang Dynasty Thirteen Cavalry.

The thirteen horses of the New Tang Dynasty are said to be thirteen kinds of treasure armor, and there are only seven kinds that can actually be effective, and the other six are all tasteless chicken ribs that are discarded by tastelessness.

For example, the horse armor is a horse-shaped armor made of treasure armor, which does not need to be put into the mount, and can run with internal force, which is several times faster than ordinary horses.

But the internal force required is also extremely huge, ordinary people can't ride at all, and only martial arts heroes like generals can urge it, which consumes huge amounts of money and is flashy.

There are also excellent armor in the thirteen armors, such as the three days and nights that are not tired of riding, the power of the black hammer is infinite, and the hammer opens the mountain.

There is also the same mind of the fine scale horse, the thin scale horse is the most magical, the soldiers and horses wearing fine scale armor can feel the command of the general at any time, and ten thousand horses are concentric.

With this magical armor, the fine scale rider can be invincible, becoming the head of the light cavalry of the dragon's head army among the thirteen horsemen.

Since receiving Bai Yujing's help, the Tang army has indeed been invincible, and there have been several important battles in which Bai Yujing's immortals have come forward to help.

The so-called help is only standing at the head of the city, or floating in the air, to deter the enemy, and no one has ever seen the immortals make a move to control the battle.

Two years later, the New Tang Dynasty has become the overlord of the Central Plains, and the cicada fairy has also come out of Baiyujing and descended on Luoyang City.

Goodbye this time, Li Yuan is already Emperor Tang Zhen.

When the cicada fairy came again, it was not to give the treasure armor blade, but to ask Emperor Tang Zhen for the title.

Everyone in the world knows that the cicada fairy once said to Emperor Tang Zhen: "The destiny of heaven returns, help you to be the emperor!"

But I didn't know that when she went to Luoyang again, she also said to Emperor Tang Zhen: "I am the destiny of heaven, and you need to respect it!"

The young man was stunned and said, "How can they be so rampant?"

The general sneered: "The more rampant is still to come, so my uncle told you that Bai Yujing is a person who sells fame and reputation." ”

Then, at the request of the cicada fairy, Xintang had to sign a treaty with Bai Yujing on the "Eighteen Farewell Immortals", one of which was: Xintang must set up the position of immortal official, which is divided into nine grades, and the first-grade Jingyue Immortal Official is half a grade higher than the current first-rank general, General Tiance.

The New Tang Dynasty was founded, and the status of military attachés was higher than that of civilian officials, and military attachés of the same grade were half a grade higher than civilian officials, which was the rule of the officialdom of the New Tang Dynasty.

And the immortal official is half a grade higher than the military attache of the same grade, and it is one grade higher than the civil official of the same grade, which is really appalling.

It can be said that the Jingyue Immortal Official is the first person under the emperor.

The young man couldn't help but ask curiously, "Then uncle, who is the Pure Moon Immortal Officer today? Could it be that the Cicada Fairy?"

Shaking his head, the general said: "E-Chan is a scheming person, and her plans are very big, she will definitely not be the Jingyue Immortal Official who lives under the people, although this candidate has not yet been decided, but according to my guess, it will not be her." ”

In this way, the White Jade Palace is an upright participation in politics, and the immortal officials and civil and military officials are in the same dynasty, and they can advise and take charge of the construction of the ancestral halls and temples of the New Tang Dynasty.

The general sighed again and said: "Your Excellency was bewitched by evil words and built an obscene shrine, but because I strongly opposed it, I had to be stripped of my official position. ”

Inadvertently, the young man heard the reason why the general had been demoted here, and was greatly amazed.

According to the general's words, there was already chaos in the court, and the announcement of the "exceptional selection of civilian officials" a few years ago had caused tension in the relations between the civilian and military officials, and the two sides were constantly fighting openly and covertly.

In the near future, there will be immortal officials participating in politics, and the three forces will definitely disturb the court.

"But today I see that the strength of that little immortal official is not very good, my uncle can deal with it easily, why can they hold such a big power?"

The young man's question made the general smile faintly, and replied loudly: "That little immortal official is just a weak one, and I have also fought with other immortals in the Fu Mansion, and I have some knowledge of their techniques. ”

"The so-called immortal magic is nothing more than ......"

Before the general's words were finished, his eyes suddenly froze, staring at the distance with a look of surprise, and after careful confirmation, his face instantly turned ugly, staring at the figure next to the railing and saying, "Why is he here!"
