Chapter 18: Mr. Peng
"Hehe, my surname, barely surnamed Peng, used to be the official of Yindu to guard Tibet, but he has long since stopped doing it. โ
The middle-aged man's words made Ji Kao's eyes move slightly, and the people at this time were all proud of their surnames, just like the two people surnamed Jiang in front of them, it seemed that every time they talked about their surnames, they had to let people know that they were the queen of Emperor Yan.
The middle-aged man, on the other hand, doesn't seem to care.
However, Ji Kao also understands that it is not surprising that people have their own ideas.
He straightened his clothes, then bowed down and saluted the middle-aged man, "Thank you, Mr. Peng, for your help." โ
Mr. Peng waved his hand and smiled: "No thanks, I am discussing with you something, borrowing you a boat." โ
"Sir, please. โ
"To the north of the great river, not far from here, is the grave of one of my deceased friends. I met him on a wooden boat, and this time I want to take your boat to pay my respects to him. โ
Mr. Peng was extremely polite and said to Ji Kao in a consultative tone.
"Naturally, where my old friend is buried, when the morning comes, my sergeants will come back and set off immediately. โ
"On the same road with you, in the north of the big river, there is a dangerous place, deep and dangerous, according to the plateau in the west, in the east of the stream, in the south of the mountains, in the north of the big river, peach blossoms all over, is here. โ
Ji Kao opened the map and found that the place Mr. Peng said seemed to be the place where the Hangu Pass in later generations was located.
Of course, there was no Hangu Pass at this time, and there was no old man riding a green ox to pass by.
"Lan Jun, are you saying that you are going to Yindu?"
On the other side, Jiang Yin and Jiang Lan talked about the itinerary of this journey.
Jiang Lan said with a smile: "Yes, it is Yindu, first, to escort Ji Kao to meet Emperor Shang, and second, to go to the legendary Wanfangtai to see it." โ
"It's okay to go there, such as all the places today, but all the extremely talented Qi Refiners have been sent to the Wanfang Platform. Lan Jun is here, just to see the world's talents. โ
The reputation of Sin Yutai, or Wanfangtai, is known to almost everyone in Zhuxia Qi Refiners.
No one knows how many masters are hidden in that high-platform palace.
"I was looking to see it. โ
In Jiang Lan's heart, she was indeed longing.
"My brother Jiang Xian's son, my nephew Wang, is studying in Yindu. If Lan Jun can meet him, please help me bring a message to him. โ
Jiang Lan was shocked: "Jiang Wang is also in the city, it's really a coincidence." โ
Hearing Jiang Wang's name, Ji Kao, who was ordering Boda to go to the camp of the Ying clan and pick up the four sergeants, suddenly raised his head.
It can't be such a coincidence, this Jiang Wang is that Jiang Wang, right?
It seems that after I went to Fenyi, I will also find a chance to see it.
"Hey, this kid has never succeeded in entering the country, but he is unwilling, when it comes to seeing all kinds of things in the world, there is always a chance to enter. โ
Jiang Lan said: "It's actually not bad for him to say this, one step into the country, half is talent, half is human luck, talent can make up for human luck, and human luck can also make up for talent." โ
"That being said, if he doesn't enter the country for decades, then our vein is not going to be broken. Before my brother died, he instructed me that no matter what, I would let this kid leave an heir. โ
"What does Yin Gong want me to say to Jiang Wang?"
"Please tell him that I have my life shortly away, let him come back. โ
Jiang Lan glanced at Jiang Yin suspiciously, and finally nodded: "Okay, I'll tell." โ
Jiang Yin suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, I can start preparing to propose to this kid." Speaking of which. I am already among your Shen clans, and I am optimistic about a girl. โ
"Then I'll have to congratulate you in advance, and when it's time to get married, be sure to let me know. โ
Jiang Yin said: "That's natural, but I have to trick that kid from my family back." โ
"Don't worry, Lan must do it. โ
While they were talking, the sky had already begun to dawn, and Ji Kao saw that the sun was rising in the east, so he invited Mr. Peng, Jiang Lan, and Jiang Yin to sit on the upper deck of the building ship together, and wait for the sergeants who were detained by the Ying clan to come back in exchange for food.
Mr. Peng looked at the rope around Jiang Lan's waist, and suddenly asked with a smile: "In the past, the Rongcheng clan, the Dating clan, the Bohuang clan, the Central clan, the Lilu clan, the Lizhu clan, the Xuanyuan clan, the Huxu clan, the Zun Lu clan, the Zhurong clan, the Fuxi clan, and the Shennong clan, when it was time, the people knotted the rope and used it." Then, among my human race, twelve ropes were refined, all of which have wonderful uses, which one of your predecessors left it?"
Jiang Lan shook her head and said, "I don't know that the predecessor who gave me this rope at the beginning called himself a mediocre person. He also said that when I can refine qi and clear my spirits, I can go to the land of Bashu to find him. โ
"The mediocre people, the mediocre ones are also tolerant, and now they are in the land of Bashu, most of them are Rong Chenggong. โ
Mr. Peng nodded and said, "You are lucky, you can actually be favored by Rong Chenggong." โ
Then he turned his head and glanced at Ji Kao again: "Your luck is not bad, Wu Ding's sword, Qi Bo's crown, and a jade plaque that I can't even see." โ
Ji Kao's expression remained unchanged, and he said softly: "The elder takes a fancy to it, and Ji Kao can only be ashamed. I am not very talented in cultivation, so I have to work hard to cultivate so that the treasures on my body do not become dusty. โ
"That's right. โ
"Sir, do you know who the ghost and god just now is?"
Jiang Lan suddenly thought of something and asked about the identity of the god just now.
"What? Do you want to trouble him again?"
Jiang Lan shook her head and said, "With Elan's strength, he naturally doesn't have the qualifications to trouble this god. It's just that this god, who acts rampantly, seems to be closely related to this great river. Lan was worried that the future might change, and she wanted to inform the clan. โ
"By the way, this matter really needs to be notified to the ancestors of the clan. โ
Jiang Yin also said beside him.
Mr. Peng shook his head and said, "You don't need to know, this god, it's useless to tell the ancestors of your clan, they can't deal with it." You can't tell the few who can really deal with this god, and you don't need to notify them, but once something happens, they will know about it. โ
The roots of the Jiang family, Mr. Peng is mostly clear. Those who can really deal with the gods have already broken away from the limit of their surnames, and they have long been out of the Jiang clan.
Cultivators who are still planning all day long to carry forward their clan, even if they succeed, what they can achieve is actually limited.
Seeing that Mr. Peng was reluctant to say anything, Jiang Lan and Jiang Yin had no choice but to look at each other and sigh.
In Ji Kao's heart, he actually had a guess about this god in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it.
Mr. Peng didn't say why he wanted to tell his wild speculation. It's okay to guess correctly, but once you guess wrong, let it be a few unpleasant.
Then, they chatted for a while, mainly Jiang Lan and Jiang Yin were chatting, and Ji Kao and Mr. Peng were listening.
Mr. Peng watched the wind and the scenery, and was watching the sunrise over the river with great interest, while Ji Kao sat aside and listened carefully to their small talk.
As a person who has just stepped into the cultivation process, this kind of chat is quite rewarding to listen to.
For example, just now, Jiang Lan and Jiang Yin mentioned the matter of refining weapons.
Generally, qi refiners will refine the cultivation support instrument, which is the same as the qi, and the refining tool is the refining qi, which is extremely beneficial for cultivation.
As they spoke, they mentioned a method of cultivating qi with qi, that is, starting from the time of qi cultivation, every time they breathe in, they will pass through the dharma instrument once, and in the long run, the dharma instrument and themselves will establish a divine and clear connection.
When it comes to the truth, the use of this magic weapon will be like an arm's command, which is extremely convenient.
Jiang Lan herself has a sword weapon, and Ji Kao once saw her use it when she was in Lishan.
Hearing this method, Ji Kao's heart moved, in his dantian qi sea, the five-color altar on that side is also a magic weapon, and it should be like this.
Thinking of it, Ji Kao decided that when he breathed and breathed in the future, he would take a little more time and pass through this magic weapon with qi.
Of course, among the Jiang family, there are also various methods of sacrificing and refining magic weapons at the time of the Xuan, but unfortunately the two of them only mentioned it and didn't talk about it much.
Ji Kao is not annoyed, it is already worth it to hear this wonderful use, where can he still covet other people's family secret methods?
ยทยทยทยทยทยท
When the sun was high, Berda returned with the four sergeants.
Jiang Yin was also very interested when he saw them coming back, and immediately said goodbye to Mr. Peng, Jiang Lan and Ji Kao, so that they could go on their way.
The boat set sail again, and went down the river, and Ji Kao returned to his old routine.
Sit quietly on the upper floor of the building boat, refining qi and cultivating.
But it's a little different from before, there is an extra Mr. Peng on the upper floor. If there are difficulties in practice, Ji Kao can ask this gentleman for advice.
Mr. Peng hardly eats or sleeps, always leans on the boat to watch the scenery on both sides of the strait, and from time to time, he has to evaluate what he sees and hears. That is, Ji Kao, who used the ancient gas refining method, can be distracted and used for two purposes, while refining qi, he also echoed Mr. Peng.
It's Jiang Lan, talking about the past and the present with Mr. Peng, and it's not so enjoyable.
This Mr. Peng, Ji Kao didn't even notice that he was a person who was very good at chatting. No matter what, he can tell the truth. This is to be put in his previous life, and he is a talker.
"Ji Xiaoyou, you're very boring like this. โ
Finally, Mr. Peng smiled slightly and said to Ji Kao.
"Mr. Peng, what do you mean by that?"
"You are also the host, and when you are chatting with me, a guest, you are still distracted from your cultivation, is this really hospitality?"
When Ji Kao heard this, he apologized to Mr. Peng and said, "It's true that the test is not, so I will chat with Mr. with all my heart." โ
"That's right, not only Qi refining is cultivation, but chatting is also cultivation, and half-heartedness is not tolerated. If you look at Lan girl, you will understand this truth. โ
Jiang Lan listened and pursed her lips and smiled. After getting along for so long, she found that this Mr. Peng was actually a very good talker. Moreover, it is very interesting to speak.
"Chat with me well, and after I pay homage to my old friend, I will give you a current Qi refining method. The Xia Hou clan is gone, and you are still refining qi with Xuanyuan's previous qi refining method, I really don't know what to say about it. โ
When Ji Kao heard the words of this talkative Mr. Peng, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he didn't know what to say, didn't he want to?
