Chapter 16: Acquaintances

Xiao Qingfeng turned their horses' heads and were about to go back, when they suddenly saw a golden light flash in the air. Before they could make a move, two figures suddenly appeared in front of them.

One of them was in his sixties, with white hair, a Taoist robe, and a stalk of floating dust. Another man in his thirties, dressed in brocade clothes, with a sword on his back, was imposing. Seeing this person, Xiao Qingfeng suddenly felt a sense of familiarity in his heart.

"Jing Xu see the national teacher. Just when Xiao Qingfeng was still wondering where he had seen this person, Jing Shenzhu on the side had already turned over and dismounted to pay homage to the sixty-year-old Taoist.

Hearing Jing Shenzhuo's words, Xiao Qingfeng's heart sank, and he quickly turned over and dismounted, because he knew who the old man in front of him was.

Xiong Guo, when he was a national teacher, he was also the uncle of the emperor, an elder of the Wuzhen School, a foundation realm cultivator, and the first cultivation master of Great Chu.

At this moment, he suddenly had a wit in his heart, and thought of who the man in brocade next to Xiong Guo was. This man was the Zhou Orion who fought with the wolf demon back then, and instructed himself to find the Songbai Cave Mansion. Changing from a hunter costume to a brocade costume really didn't make him recognize it.

"Xiao Qingfeng, I have seen the national teacher and the seniors. Following Jing Shen's capture, Xiao Qingfeng also saluted respectfully.

The national teacher Xiong Guo glanced at Xiao Qingfeng and nodded slightly, Zhou Lihu just smiled without much expression.

Xiong Guo took the dust in his hand and asked, "Jing Xu, why are you here?"

"Returning to the national teacher, his subordinates were ordered to arrest the wild boar essence that endangered several counties in Shanzhou, and now they are arrested, and they are going to Beijing to wait for the national teacher. "Jing Shenzhu, who is majestic in front of outsiders, is extremely respectful in front of the national teacher Xiong.

"Boar spirit?" Xiong Kuang muttered in a low voice, and then thought that this was indeed the case, and muttered for a moment, "Don't be so troublesome, you can just go and release it." ”

"Release?" Raising his head for the first time in front of the national teacher Xiong Guo, Jing Shenzhu said in surprise, "This wild boar's cultivation is not high, but its skin is rough and the flesh is thick, and its strength is infinite.

"Don't worry, I have just reached an agreement with the Tiger Demon King, and from today onwards, there will be no more spirits in Da Chu. Seeing Jing Xu's worries and doubts, Xiong Guo explained, "In the past eighteen years, there have been no strong enemies outside Great Chu, and there has been no rebellion inside, which is a rare peaceful day since the establishment of this dynasty. But there are suddenly spirits and monsters, why do you know why?"

"My subordinates don't know!" Jing Shenzhu said honestly.

Xiong Guo was a little emotional and a little helpless in his words: "It is precisely because of this Tiger Demon King, this demon cultivation is profound, and he suddenly came to Dachu eighteen years ago, and turned into spirits everywhere, which caused today's situation." Today, I joined forces with my brother and sister to fight with him, and finally reached an agreement that no more spirits would haunt him. ”

"The great grace of the national teacher, Jing Xu thanked the national teacher on behalf of the people of the world!"

Hearing the words of the national teacher, Jing Xu shouted, and then kowtowed firmly to the bear. Xiao Qingfeng on the side was dumbfounded, is this still the Jing Shenzhu with a master's demeanor? This is a villain who slaps his beard and shoots horses!

Fenglin County is located in a remote area, and Xiao Qingfeng rarely pays attention to external things, so he naturally does not know the prestige of the national teacher Xiong Guo in Dachu. Even if the emperor sees the national teacher today, he has to be respectful and respectful. What's more, Jing Shen Catching Jing Xu or the National Teacher Xiong Guo mentioned it from the end of the micro, and he has always been a father and a teacher, and he trusts him.

Compared with Xiao Qingfeng's surprise and shock, the bear situation is not strange. After receiving Jing Xu's worship, his face did not change and said: "I am the national teacher of the dynasty, the uncle of the current emperor, and it will not be your turn to represent the people of the world." Now that the danger of the spirits is temporarily resolved, the apprenticeship meeting is about to begin, and you can go back to Beijing to do some chores for me. ”

"Subordinates obey orders!" Jing Xu said with a happy face.

"Now that the matter is over, we will leave first. After speaking, the national teacher Xiong Guo wanted to turn around and leave.

"National teacher, slow down!" Seeing that the bear was about to leave, Xiao Qingfeng hurriedly shouted.

Xiong Guo turned around, saw Xiao Qingfeng's doubts, and asked, "What's the important thing about Xiaoyou?"

Xiao Qingfeng first gave a salute, and then said seriously: "Junior Xiao Qingfeng, I have an inquiry today, and I hope that the national teacher will inform me." ”

"Little friend, but it doesn't hurt to say. Xiong said gently.

"The younger generation is now cultivating in the early stage of the Qi Refining Realm, and if you want to go to the Yuanyang Sect 30,000 miles to the east to learn from the master, dare to be a national teacher, but also?" After finishing speaking, Xiao Qingfeng looked at Xiong Guo with hopeful eyes.

Hearing Xiao Qingfeng's words, Xiong Jing was stunned, and he didn't come back to his senses until Zhou Orion next to him said a few words in his ear, looked at Xiao Qingfeng with a trace of inexplicable eyes, and said: "Since you are talking about refining the Qi Realm rather than the Innate Realm, you should know the difference between a cultivator and a martial artist. For cultivators, talent, perseverance, and chance are indispensable. However, the most important thing is a heart for the Tao. Without a heart to seek the Tao, no matter how good the talent is, no matter how deep the opportunity, no matter how strong the perseverance is, there will be no way. ”

"The younger generation understands, thank you for the guidance of the national teacher. Once again, he respectfully saluted Xiong Guo.

Xiong Zheng's words made Xiao Qingfeng suddenly enlightened, although he was resolute in the past, he had no bottom in his heart, and there was still a trace of hesitation. Now after listening to Xiong's words, I suddenly have a feeling of seeing the blue sky through the clouds. The heart of seeking the Tao lies in fearlessness, exploration, and knowledge in the unknown. Even though he does not have deep experience, does not have a wide range of knowledge, and lacks cultivation, he still has a heart to seek the Tao, but he can also travel all over the world.

After leaving the two of them, Xiao Qingfeng felt a lot more relaxed. The two rode back, first released the wild boar essence, and then set off for Beijing together.

There are two flowers, one on each branch.

After leaving Xiao Qingfeng and the others, Xiong Guan finally couldn't help the curiosity in his heart, and asked Zhou Orion beside him, "Senior brother, are you sure you are really right?"

Zhou Liehu laughed: "I really didn't expect that the usually quiet and indifferent senior brother would also have such an anxious time?"

"Senior brother!" Looking at Zhou Orion's appearance, Xiong Guo shouted solemnly, "This matter is not a joke, this matter involves the Yuanyang Sect, and the future of our Enlightenment Sect is worrying." ”

After coming out of Fenglin County, Xiao Qingfeng was afraid that the two swords behind his body would be peeped at by the gangsters, so he wrapped them behind his back. Therefore, Xiong Guo only saw him carrying a sword, but he didn't know what the sword looked like.

Hearing Xiong Xiang say this, Zhou Orion also put away his smile and said seriously: "Senior brother, don't worry, at that time, it was not only me, but also the wolf demon we joined forces to kill to testify. Actually, this is not the first time I've seen Yuanyang Sword, junior brother. ”

Speaking, Zhou Orion showed a look of reminiscence, "More than 20 years ago, when my junior brother first entered the foundation building realm, I went down the mountain to subdue demons and subdue demons with great satisfaction. I also met the wolf demon in Fenglin County, and at that time the experience was not deep, the cultivation was not high, and I was injured by the wolf demon. I lived in seclusion in Fenglin County, and I saw the Yuanyang Sword at that time, and the Yuanyang Sword was still in the hands of a middle-aged Taoist priest at that time. ”

"Later?"

"Later?" Zhou Orion looked into the distance and said with a wry smile, "Later, I got the inheritance of the sect and knew the secrets of the sect. Even if he knew that it was the Yuanyang Sword, he didn't dare to say it. The Tao is natural, cause and effect are entangled, and I don't know if there is a big person layout, how dare we little people interfere indiscriminately?"

Xiong Guo sighed and said, "Uncle Shi has been injured and has been in retreat for a long time, and the situation is unknown, and the Wuzhen Sect really can't withstand the twists and turns. ”

"That's why I asked you to give him a few words, so that although it is not of substantial help to him, he has the grace of guidance, and it can be regarded as a good fate. Thinking of the situation of his own sect, Zhou Orion's words were also a little low.

"Forget it. Shaking his head, Xiong Guo felt that it was pointless to discuss another junior, so he immediately asked, "Senior brother thinks the Tiger Demon King's words are somewhat credible?"

"Hehe!" Zhou Orion smiled, "I never believe in the words of monsters, whether he says that the search for people is true or not, but if there is a chance to get rid of them, I will not keep my hands." ”

"Senior brother's words are wrong!" Xiong Guo shook his head slightly, "but I believe his words. Nineteen years ago, there was a major event in Dachu, a major event that none of us Enlightenment Sect dared to touch. That incident involved the two major sects, that is, that time when the master was seriously injured and retreated, otherwise why should we Wuzhen Sect be afraid of a small demon who turned into bones. ”

"What's the matter?" Zhou Orion looked shocked, that is, the incident nineteen years ago caused the prestige of the Wuzhen Sect to be greatly damaged, and made the people of the Wuzhen Sect panic.

"I don't know what the specific thing is, I only heard Uncle Shi say a few words, but in my opinion, the Tiger Demon King should be a mythical beast next to a big man, and what he said about finding people may be true. Don't be angry with him, don't provoke him if you can. Xiong Guo didn't fully express his worries.

As the western gateway of Yuanyang Sect, Da Chu has a special status. There are predecessors of the Yuanyang Sect guarding Qifeng Mountain all year round. By the way, the town is Dachu, but for some reason, the senior who did not come forward from nineteen years ago. But either way, these things are not for them to meddle in.

Xiao Qingfeng didn't know about Xiong Qian's conversation and worries with Zhou Orion after they left. Since seeing the bear, he was in a relaxed mood, and his mood was faintly improved. As the saying goes, cultivation is easy to obtain, but the state of mind is hard to find. This encounter actually improved my mood, which is really gratifying.

Starting from Fenglin County, over the mountains and mountains, across the bridge and swimming in the water, all the way through Shanzhou, over Zhili, and arrived at Jingshi It has been more than a month later. At this time, it was already March 15, and the weather was getting hotter, but whether it was Jing Xu, Feng Kun or other brocade clothes, they were not tired.

Jingshi is the capital of Great Chu, and it is also the most majestic, majestic and largest fortified city in Great Chu. He is the center of Great Chu and the holy place in the hearts of the people of Great Chu.

"Master, is this the capital?" Holding the horse, looking at the tall city wall in front of him and the crowded crowd around him, Feng Kun had nothing but shock in his heart.

Not only him, but even Xiao Qingfeng was shocked. All the way from Fenglin County, they also passed through many towns, but none of them could give her such a big shock.

But seeing that the city wall is as high as nine zhang, all made of cyan stone, a kind of historical heaviness and simplicity come to the face. The gates were wide, close to one and a half feet, and very high, nearly two feet. There is a plaque on the city wall above the city gate, and there are two ancient seals of 'Beijing' written on it.

Next is a five-foot wide moat with a large chained suspension bridge for people to walk on. There are so many pedestrians that they can't count the number of people coming in and out.

This shocking scene is indescribable, and if you are not there, you will never experience the feeling of majesty.

"This is the capital. This gate is the south gate of the capital and one of the thirty-six gates of the capital. The general guarding this gate is the general of the South Gate, a master in the middle of the congenital period, and also a close friend of the division. If you have the opportunity to see it, be close to it. Looking at the city gate, Jing Xu was not as shocked and excited as Xiao Qingfeng and Feng Kun, but there was a lot of joy in his heart.

"Master, don't worry, I understand. "After more than ten years in Fenglin County, Feng Kun is still quite proficient in human affairs, so naturally he will not let go of such a big relationship.

"Dodge, dodge, dodge!"

When Xiao Qingfeng and the others were about to enter the city, there was a sudden noise and panic in their ears. When he turned his head to look, he saw a group of young men dressed in brocade clothes and riding horses straight towards the city gate, and the people who could not dodge along the way were knocked away, but the knights on the horse laughed.
