Chapter 339: Abolition of Exposition
In the morning light, the Yellow River rushes eastward, and a lonely boat goes upstream.
A boy in a yellow shirt stood in the bow of the boat, holding a folding fan, a brocade robe and a jade robe, and a dignified appearance, and next to him stood a village man, coarse and linen, with a plain appearance, always with his head bowed.
It's hard to guess that they're cousins just by looking at their appearance, because these two people, no matter how they look, look like they're from two different worlds.
Looking at Kunlun Mountain in the distance, the yellow-shirted boy praised loudly: "As the saying goes, Fengtian carries the imperial Taoist system, and the general leader of Wanxian Town is in all directions. Kunlun Mountain is worthy of being the ancestral court of the Dharma lineage of teaching!"
"Yes, cousin......" Humpty Dumpty Village Han hid behind the yellow-shirted man, looking ashamed to see people, and echoed casually: "This mountain is so beautiful...... Really high...... True Width...... It's huge!"
At this time, Su Ji sat on the other side of the bow of the boat, looking at the two cousins from a distance, and couldn't help but think of Yin Jiuyou and Niu Zhu in the past, and even the position where they stood was exactly the same. At that time, Mu Lingyu was also on the boat. Many years have passed in a blink of an eye, and Su Ji deliberately took a boat to revisit his hometown, and couldn't help but touch the scene and sigh that things are wrong with people.
"Cousin......" Humpty Dumpty Village Han said with a sad face, and said in a pure native dialect: "Everyone in the village says that I am stupid and stupid, and I can pass that Qi ...... Kirin ...... What to try?"
Su Ji was slightly stunned, presumably what he was going to say should be the Qilin Yun test, it turned out that now was the time for the Qilin Yun test!
In the past, whenever this time came, there was no shortage of overwhelming people, and they wanted to try it even if they went bankrupt.
However, along the way today, except for the two brothers on the boat, Su Ji didn't even see a single figure.
The yellow-shirted boy shook the folding fan lightly, and said confidently: "If you want to say that in the past, I dare to guarantee that you are not playing." However, the current exposition is not as good as it used to be. Since Zhou Tianzi ordered the abolition of the exposition, few mortals dared to come to the immortals and ask questions. ”
When he heard the words "abolish the exposition", Su Ji's eyebrows moved slightly, he slowly stood up, walked over and asked, "This brother, just now said that the Son of Heaven ordered the abolition of the exposition, when did this happen?"
The yellow-shirted boy looked at Su Ji and asked, "Your Excellency is also here to participate in the Qilin Yun test, why don't you even know this?"
Su Ji smiled: "I want to hear about it." ”
The yellow-shirted boy explained: "It was three years ago that the exposition of the religion was abolished. Zhou Tianzi not only stripped off the title of 'state religion' of expounding the teachings, but also strictly forbade the disciples of the exposition of the religion to set foot in the territory of Hojing, and if the people dared to worship the immortals of the exposition, they would all be killed! In the past few years, Zhou Tianzi has recruited troops and recruited strange people from all walks of life, and in the future, there will be no interception of the religion and no exposition of the teaching. ”
Humpty Dumpty asked, "In that case, why did my cousin let me take the Qilin test?"
"As the saying goes, the tiger is dead! The emaciated camel is also bigger than the horse. It is said that the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Sect broke through the Ten Thousand Immortal Array, and the Sect was wiped out, but it still lasted for more than 200 years. The current exposition of the teachings is a hundred times stronger than the interception of the teachings at that time. As the saying goes, a hundred-legged insect dies but does not stiff......"
Humpty Dumpty was confused, and said blankly: "Cousin, what do you want to say? I don't understand, can you say it directly?"
The yellow-shirted boy said: "In short, you have to remember that the purpose of coming this time is not to cultivate immortals, but just to come here to make a fortune." I heard from the grapevine that due to the relationship between the abolition of the Son of Heaven and the Explanation of the Teachings, the registered disciples of the Shanzhen Pavilion have almost gone. There is a shortage of cooks like you in the mountains. You will definitely be able to get oil and water if you go now! As the saying goes, you can't miss the opportunity, and you won't come again!"
Humpty Dumpty Village Man scratched his head and said, "Cousin, I'm not as eloquent as you, I'm a rough man with dull talents." My mother said that I was born with a cheap life, and I couldn't get into the hall of elegance. You said that this unicorn needs to pass the 'literary test' and 'martial arts test', as well as the 'bei test', but I don't have gold and silver, two have no literary talent, and three have no kung fu. How can you get by?"
The yellow-shirted boy pulled his cousin, walked from the bow to the stern, deliberately avoided Su Ji's ears and eyes, looked left and right, took out a Dan box from his arms, secretly stuffed it into his cousin's hand, and said in a low voice:
"Don't worry, my cousin has already arranged it. This year's Qilin Yun test is fully responsible for Yin Jiuyou and Yin Gongzi. As long as you hand over this Dan box to Yin Gongzi, he will guarantee that you will pass the Qilin Yun test, and the glory and wealth in the future will be inexhaustible!"
Although the yellow-shirted boy spoke very quietly, Su Ji could still hear it clearly.
Humpty Dumpty Village Han took the Dan box, first scratched his head, then nodded, and grinned: "Cousin, you are so good to me." ”
"Brothers, you're welcome. As the saying goes, brotherhood is as strong as wine, as long as a river, as high as a mountain, and as deep as the sea!"
Listening to the common saying on the left and the saying on the right, Su Ji couldn't help but think of a saying: Nothing to be courteous is either a traitor or a thief!
The fish sees the food, but not the hook;
People see the benefits, but not the harm.
There will be no good things in the world for no reason, Su Ji has experienced it over the years, and behind his courtesy for no reason, there are usually other plans. This yellow-shirted boy helped bribe Yin Jiuyou to win his cousin's favor and trust, and his motives were bound to be simple!
Su Ji hates sanctimonious people the most in his life, and now there is still some time before the death of his master, anyway, he has nothing to do, he wants to see what ulterior secrets this yellow-shirted boy has.
After the boat docked, Su Ji quietly followed the brothers all the way.
The boy in the yellow shirt is familiar with the road on the mountain, and must have often come to the mountain to donate incense before. He inquired everywhere about Yin Jiuyou's whereabouts, but the reaction of all the registered disciples was to shake their heads.
"Young Master Yin is missing?" the yellow-shirted boy asked in shock, "When did it happen?"
One of the Sound Transmission Pavilion disciples shook his head and replied, "I haven't seen him in a few days. He said goodbye, and no one knew where he went. ”
"How long have you been missing?"
"Probably...... Fortnight...... No...... Less than two weeks...... Eight or nine days or so......"
Su Ji listened from a distance, feeling that something was wrong.
At this moment, a familiar voice came from behind him:
"Eun Gong, you're here!"
Su Ji looked back and saw Yun Yi, who was dressed in a snow-white uniform, greeted him with a smile on his face, and walked over with an excited expression.
The yellow-shirted boy turned his head to look and saw Su Ji not far behind him, he couldn't help but show a look of vigilance on his face, and took his cousin away.
Seeing them leave, Su Ji turned to Yun Yi and responded, "Next month is Master's death day, and I have come to worship." ”
Yun Yi said excitedly: "Sect Leader Niu was still thinking about you two days ago, but you can't see each other in retreat. I didn't think you'd be here today, it was like a dream!"
"How are you doing?"
Yun Yi's smiling face sank suddenly, and he shook his head and sighed: "Recently, there have been fewer and fewer incense, but we are getting busier and busier. Now Qi Lin Yun is busy selecting talents, but our Niu Sect Leader is thinking about selecting the Sect Master!"
"Choosing a Master?"
"Over the years, the Ox Sect Master has inherited the Sect Master, and he has always been the first seat of Chai to take full charge of the affairs of the Sect. However, in recent years, Chai Shouzao has broken through the Xuanqing Nine Realms, and the period of tribulation is approaching. Sect Leader Niu was worried that Kunlun Mountain would lose its firewood in the future, and one person would not be able to stand alone, so he wanted to choose someone to replace him and become the master of the sect!"
Yun Yi's words were full of resentment and dissatisfaction with Niu Zhu. Now that Zhou Tianzi's edict abolishing the exposition of the religion has been issued, the future of the exposition is becoming darker and darker. This has to make people hold the sect leader accountable.
However, Su Ji felt that the exposition was now in such a good place, and Niu Zhu should not be blamed.
The position of the sect leader was faced with an awkward choice many years ago. Those who are not qualified to inherit the sect leader want to do it but cannot do it, and those who are qualified to inherit the sect leader do not want to do it and cannot look down on it. Niu Zhu had no intention of taking over as the sect leader back then, but just drove the ducks to the shelves.
Su Ji groaned: "At this time, unless a talent is born out of thin air to help the sect turn things around, it is inevitable that Kunlun will collapse. It's a pity that such a genius is difficult to be interested in the current teachings. ”
Yun Yi looked at Su Ji and said with a smile: "Engong, are you interested?"
