Chapter 56: Wuyi Lane (Part II)

"Ahem...... Ahem......"

There was a cough from the dilapidated hut, Jiang Liu shook his nose, and there was a strong smell of Chinese medicine.

"Bang ......"

Three knocks sounded on the door, and Xie Hong turned his head to look at the door in the house, and asked in a deep voice, "Who is outside?"

"Ah Hong, it's me!" The big buffalo changed into a human form, standing outside the door like a black tower, even the horns on its head had been hidden, but the bull's eyes and broad nose were a bit like cows, and it was roughly a human form.

This is a transfiguration technique, which can only deceive mortals, and can be seen through at a glance when encountering a qi refiner. If it is a shape-shifting body, if it does not have the magic power of "fiery eyes", it is difficult to see through.

Jiang Liu, on the other hand, looked up at the sky, and at the moment when Xie Chou changed his human form, he felt a strange energy appear above his head. The Oriental Green Dragon Seven Houses flashed, the horns, Kang, Di, Fang, Heart, Tail, Kei, the Seven Nights are constantly changing, corresponding to Jinling City.

"Oriental green dragon, the five elements belong to wood. The lieutenant said that the Jinling City Great Array was opened, and it was this Eastern Green Dragon Great Array! Yimu Qinglei, this is the Thunder Array! If it weren't for the fact that my Thunder Law had already been successful, I really wouldn't have been able to find it. The wood-attribute thunder has more attribute changes than my Nine Heavens Thunder, and it is even more powerful. I don't know which great power built this great array in the world, even if he achieves the position of an earth immortal, he doesn't dare to face the Blue Dragon Great Array of Jinling City head-on!"

Jiang Liu was thinking about it when the wooden door creaked open, revealing a haggard, pale, sickly young man.

"Uncle Ugly, Aunt Lu, why did you enter the city? Come in quickly, no one will notice you, right? I heard that the island nation in the east has invaded recently, and the army has been assembled, you should be careful......

Xie Chou smiled "haha" and said, "Don't get in the way, don't get in the way!" This is the head of the river stream, the master of the Hidden Dragon Observatory, he can protect us from the attack of the human soldiers, and the cultivators of the Demon Division will not trouble us!"

The Demon Division, the department established by the Tang Dynasty to subdue demons and eliminate demons, is mostly composed of cultivators from various sects, and its main job is to subdue demons and eliminate demons, and by the way, provide demon mounts for the army.

Killing demons is simple, but subduing demons is as difficult as climbing to the sky.

Coming all the way from Qianlong Mountain, the three armies I saw, one of the captain's mounts was an enlightened rhinoceros demon. The demons are not opposed, not to mention that they are reduced to mounts, the captain's innate realm, but there are mounts in the realm of refining and refining qi, the two cooperate, and then lead the army to fight, and the combat power is multiplied.

And those generals in the army who have demon horses all treat demon horses as ancestors.

Jiang Liu looked at Xie Hong, and Xie Hong was also looking at Jiang Liu.

In Jiang Liu's eyes, this Xie Hong was just an ordinary mortal, he had not cultivated, his blood was also thin, and he had not practiced martial arts. But there is a strange energy in the body, which is majestic and bright, which is the heroic righteousness of Confucianism. With this righteousness, ghosts and monsters are easy to dispel, and all evils will not invade.

It's a pity that there is nothing that can be done about the diseases of the flesh!

Confucianism has six arts, and this reading and qi cultivation is fundamental, but even if the qi is still weak in the flesh, although it will not be full of diseases, it is difficult to get rid of the limit of life and death.

Compared with the immortal path of Qi refiners, Confucianism pursues "self-cultivation, family harmony, governing the country, and leveling the world", one is to break through for one's own body, and the other is to seek survival for all people.

Reading for the great prosperity of the human race, and striving for the rise of the human race, all the sons and hundreds of schools of thought are all the same. It was precisely because there were hundreds of schools of thought that went forward to resist the invasion of demons in the chaotic pre-Qin era that the human race was able to stand on this land and become the real masters of this land.

The cultivation of Confucianism in the pre-Qin period was closer to that of qi refiners, supplemented by reading and cultivating qi, but later Dong Zhongshu deposed the hundred schools and respected Confucianism alone, in order to cooperate with the rule of the emperors in the world, this was mainly to cultivate qi, with the responsibility of "self-cultivation, Qi family, governing the country, and leveling the world". Of course, Confucianism is not afraid of death, and they take the three immortals of "virtue, meritorious service, and speech" as their ultimate goal.

As long as you complete one of them and get the imperial court's seal, you can be crowned a god after death and enjoy a thousand years of incense sacrifice.

This is the origin of ghosts and gods, and many city gods were ordinary people in the world during their lifetimes.

This is also why many ghosts and gods should not be worshiped by Confucianism, and the world says that the ghosts and gods are high. What they don't know is that after the death of the Great Confucian, they will all be entitled, and the rank of the god is far beyond that of ordinary ghosts and gods.

"Boy Xie Hong, Zi Zhiyuan, meet the Taoist!" Xie Hong made a gesture to the river, and then turned sideways and invited the two of them into the house.

The room was shabby, but it was clean and tidy, and most of them were books, which took up almost half of the room.

Jiang Liu casually took out a copy of "Spring and Autumn", the paper is a little old, obviously often flipped, the annotations inside are dense, small characters, but euphemistic and subtle, beautiful and beautiful, with the style of Wang Xi. The world often uses Cao Zhi's "Luo Shen Fu": "Soaring like a frightening Hong, graceful like a dragon, Rong Yao Qiu Ju, Huamao Spring Pine." It seems to be like a light cloud covering the moon, fluttering like the snow of the wind" to praise the beauty of Wang Xizhi's calligraphy, this font has a bit of "shocking, swimming dragon" charm.

According to Jiang Liu, the annotated notes on this "Spring and Autumn" already have Wang Xizhi's five points of skill.

"Good words, there is the style of Wang Youjun! I heard Xie Chou say that you are still a student, so you have the ability to annotate "Spring and Autumn"?"

Xie Hong smiled shyly and said: "When I was studying, I wrote down some feelings, but I didn't dare to call it a commentary, and I didn't dare to explain the words of the sage until I was a great Confucian." ”

Jiang Liu nodded and took "Spring and Autumn" to watch carefully. Xie Hong didn't dare to make a mistake, although he was a scholar and didn't say "strange power", but he still had to give enough respect to the Qi Refiner.

You can't tell a person's age from their appearance, this is a world of immortals and gods, and many people who have achieved cultivation look like they are in their twenties even though they have lived for hundreds of years. In Xie Hong's eyes, Jiang Liu is the cultivator who has lived for a hundred years, and you must know that Xie Chou, the demon of the big buffalo, is also more than two hundred years old.

"Uncle Ugly, I know my body, this is a congenital injury, and it can't be cured. ”

Xie Hong's expression darkened, he took down the boiled Chinese medicine, and then put a copper kettle on the fire.

The egret stopped on Xie Hong's shoulder and said, "There will always be a way, how can an immortal not cure a disease that mortals can't cure!"

Xie Hong shook his head: "Immortals are not stained with red dust, and they will cure me, a mortal." Birth, old age, sickness and death, the cycle of reincarnation, I have lived for twenty years, if it weren't for Uncle Ugly and Aunt Lu running for me, I would have died a long time ago...... Ahem!"

Xie Chou glanced at Jiang Liu, saw that he was still looking at the "Spring and Autumn Period" in his hand, and said to Xie Hong: "I will do my best, the Xie family is very kind to me, I will not let the Xie family die, even if it is not cured, I will keep your descendants safe." ”

The water in the big copper kettle began to boil, Xie Hong took out a tea brick, some ginger and other things, put them into the copper kettle, and after a while, it exuded a fragrance of tea.

Xie Hong took out a few coarse porcelain bowls and said solemnly: "Uncle Ugly, Aunt Lu, now that there is an accident in the East China Sea, the imperial court will inevitably be wiped out by a large army, but after the extermination, there will be great changes in Jiangnan...... Datang will not let himself fall into the land of four wars, and will definitely take advantage of the front of the army...... Ahem...... In one go, the Jiangnan demon clan and evil spirits were exterminated. It's a one-and-done approach that will leave no mercy on you. It may not be possible to distinguish between good and evil, because there is no time. The center of gravity of the Tang Dynasty is in the north, and it will not allow another change in the south...... Uncle Ugly, don't come here in the future, leave this place of right and wrong! For our human race, this is a great joy for the sky, but for your demon race, it is a disaster, a great disaster. ”

Jiang Liu put down "Spring and Autumn", this young man is very knowledgeable, and he has extraordinary knowledge of current affairs, and his inferences are also reasonable. The Tang Dynasty is now the target of the public, the north of the alien race eyeing the biggest threat, the west of Tibet is also a big trouble, the south is erosive, from the founding of the country has been rebelling, can not be pacified in the short term. Only the invasion of the eastern island country can be wiped out with thunder, and the army has been assembled, so as to calm the south of the Yangtze River in one fell swoop, killing two birds with one stone.

"I don't know how many monks will die in this confrontation!" Jiang Liu said secretly.

The White Bone Cave Corpse Demon sneak attack on the master does not seem to be simple, a monk who is at the peak of refining and refining qi dies, and he is also a monk who is proficient in thunder law, which is a loss of a general for the human race!

Jiang Liu secretly pondered and found that he was about to fall into a greater crisis, which would be a war between the human race and the demon race.

A battle of people, demons, and demons that affects the entire Jiangnan!

With a long sigh, Jiang Liu opened his mouth and said: "Datang will indeed not be soft, this time the south will definitely be a river of blood." Even if I was a hidden dragon, I wouldn't dare to say that I could survive this catastrophe!"

Xie Chou's brows were also tightly furrowed, he originally thought that the army had wiped out the invasion of the East China Sea and killed the ghost king, and he would return to his original calm state again, but now it seems that he was thinking too simply.

"Dao Chief, please drink tea!" Xie Hong placed the coarse porcelain bowl beside Jiang Liu.

Jiang Liu looked at the strange tea and tasted it slightly, there was a taste of tea, ginger, and salt.

It's a bit salty.

"This is the tea of the Tang Dynasty? It seems to be the tea of the Tang Dynasty!"

Jiang Liu was a little uncomfortable, so he stopped after tasting it, and put down the coarse porcelain bowl.

Wealth and danger are sought!

These five words suddenly came to mind, but then they were overturned.

"That's it, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, this battle is not something we can participate in, Xie Chou, since you have entered my Hidden Dragon Temple, I will try my best to shelter the two of you, but you must also be mentally prepared...... This catastrophe is not just the invasion of the East China Sea and the ghost king! According to the information I have got, there are definitely earth immortals involved, this is a competition between humans, demons, demons, and so on, we are just little minions, and we will be crushed to death if we are not careful!"

Xie Chou's face sank, frowned, and said with a long sigh: "The catastrophe has risen again, and it is time for the blood to flow again." Hundreds of years of war, this is the catastrophe of the human race, and now that the Tang Dynasty is unified, it should be a demon catastrophe. Feng Shui takes turns, thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, and the way of heaven is just a rotation!"
