"That's it. Zhao Pu listened to her tone, his heart moved, and he hurriedly made a joke and asked, "Does the girl also recognize such a master?" ”

Su Wen smiled when he heard this, waved his hand and said: "Fei Ye, Fei Ye, a little woman and a village woman, where will you know such a master, I just want to say" He glanced at the city guard, pouted, and said: "Since the emperor is looking for talents, he should have some sincerity, like such fish and meat people, The villain who is corrupt and perverts the law, only knows how to open his mouth to ask for bribes, and stretches out his hand to ask for money, even if he comes to the master, he will never recognize it, and he will delay it in vain. "Zhao Pu is silent,

After a long time, Zhao Pu suddenly sighed, fell to the ground with a smile from Su Wen, and said: "The girl's words made the old Taoist suddenly, according to the girl's opinion, what should I do." Su Wen returned the salute and said with a smile: "I am a woman and Taoist, what ideas can I have, but I heard before that the Heavenly Master Dao is a big faction of the Northern Daomen, and it has always been as famous as Qingcheng, Kongtong and other big factions. Zhao Pu's face was red, and he said sneeringly: "The girl smiled, I really don't hide it, although the old Taoist is a disciple of the Heavenly Master, but he has been cultivating for fifty or sixty years, and he is still a disciple of the outer sect, how much can he do, the girl's eyes are like a torch, and she talks well, she is a disciple of a master, and she also asks the girl to show the way." Su Wen pursed his lips and smiled, and said: "Old official, you can ask the wrong person this time, the real master, obviously in front of you, but you are reluctant to seek the near and far, it is really funny." Zhao Pu was stunned, then pointed at the young man, and exclaimed, "Could it be this little brother." ”

Su Wen smiled: "Yes, it is this person." ”

When Zhao Pu heard this, he hurriedly rushed forward and begged bitterly: "Since Daoist friends have the ability, why don't you help Lao Dao for the sake of everyone's Taoist lineage." ”

When the young man heard him mention himself, he had to owe himself, hugged his fists and said: "Old official, it's not that he refuses to help, but he really has something important in his lower body, and he lacks skills, so I ask the old official to forgive me." Zhao Pu listened, where was he willing to give up, "plopped", knelt on the ground, and pleaded:

"Daoyou, now that the power of the Demon Gate is getting bigger, and the Daomen of Middle Earth is in danger, even if you don't look at the old Dao, you can also look at the hundreds of millions of Li Shu, so help me. The young man turned around, saw Su Wen nodding again and again, and in desperation, he had to help him up and answer:

"Okay, since the old official is so sincere, he should promise to go down to him, but before that, I will go to Tianmu Mountain for a walk, and when I come back, it will not be too late to meet the old official. When Zhao Pu heard this, he was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "Okay, good, just as Daoyou said, he said that Daoyou will come back, and the old Taoist will definitely sweep the steps to greet him." The young man took Su Wen, turned around and left,

"Wait. ”

At this moment, Zhao Pu suddenly shouted and asked, "The two of you are going this time, and I don't know when you will come back." ”

The young man pondered for a moment and replied, "Or a dozen days, or twenty days, at most a month, and then turn around." Zhao Pu said: "In this way, Lao Dao is here to welcome the two masters, and I hope that the two will go early and return early, so as to teach Lao Dao to respond to this errand." The young man said, "This is how it should be." ”

At that moment, Zhao Pu ordered the city guard to withdraw the soldiers and horses, and personally sent them out of the city, and in the middle of the trip, Su Wen suddenly asked: "Old official, I see that the city guard is respectful to you, as if his subordinates have seen their bosses, and I don't know what position you have received in the court." Zhao Pu said: "Lao Dao should be edicted out of the mountain seventeen years ago, and now he is a three-grade immortal official, and he is the one who is the real person of the dragon and tiger." Su asked: "Sanpin Zhenren, is there also a position of immortal official in this dynasty?" ”

"Of course. ”

Zhao Pu smiled, looking quite proud: " Twenty years ago, Emperor Lizong of this dynasty succeeded to the throne, he was good at reading Taoist books since he was a child, and he was the most respectful and loving the virtuous, so from the year of his succession, he held a water and land conference in the capital every year, and invited all kinds of Taoist scholars to go to Beijing to go to the meeting, above the water and land conference, set up a ring, but with all kinds of masters casting spells and gambling fights, the top ten of each water and land conference will be given a wine banquet by His Majesty, and awarded the position of an immortal official. ”

Su Wen smiled when he heard this, and said, "In this way, isn't this immortal official very majestic. Zhao Pu said: "That's nature. ”

Su asked again: "I don't know how many products there are in the imperial court, and what rank did you rank back then, old official." Zhao Pu smiled: " The immortal officials in the court, are according to the old practice, divided into five grades and ten levels, there are master and slave points, the highest is a product, known as the real person who protects the country, the status is extremely noble, looking at the world, there is only one person; followed by the second grade, the number is through the Xuan Zun Master, a total of two; followed by the third grade, that is, the old Tao is like this, called the dragon and tiger real person; again for the six grades, the number is the immortal master, the second is the seventh grade, there is only a title of the immortal official, a Taoist temple, a few attendants, the water and land conference of the year, the old Tao defeated nine strong enemies, this earned a title from the third grade, if the two have a heart to fame, you may wish to go to Beijing to try, it must also be a second grade through the number of the Xuan Zun Master。 ”

"It's only a second grade. ”

When Su Wen heard this, he made a pretty face and said angrily: "Why don't you say that we can be real people who protect the country." When Zhao Pu heard this, he couldn't help but be startled, and hurriedly said: "Shhh, silence, girl, how can this be said nonsense." Su Wen saw him solemnly, with a panicked look, and couldn't help but secretly feel funny, because he asked: "Oh, I don't know where the real protector of the country came from, how can you be so scared." Zhao Pu hesitated for a while, then glanced around and said in a low voice:

"Girl, there are only three of us here, it's okay to say it, the real person who protects the country, Lao Dao has also had a chance to meet once, it is really a jade tree in the wind, the appearance is extraordinary, as if it was taken off from a painting, but the ability under his hands, it is really unfathomable, even if it is thousands of miles away, he can kill people with flying swords. ”

"It's amazing. ”

When Su Wen heard this, he couldn't help but stick out his tongue and asked, "Old official, have you seen this with your own eyes?" Zhao Pu shook his head and said: "Where can I see it with my own eyes, the people who have seen him shoot have now become dead people, up and down the government and the opposition, where do people dare to say that he doesn't say a word." As he spoke, his body trembled, and a very frightened look appeared in his eyes.

"Good. ”

At this moment, the young man who had been silent suddenly spoke, and said coldly: "One day, I will go to the capital for a while, and I will meet such a master for a while." When Su Wen heard this, his face suddenly changed, and he said loudly: "Hey, what nonsense are you talking about." ”

When the young man heard this, he didn't answer, turned his head to Zhao Pu and said, "Old official, if I want to participate in the land and water conference, I don't want to have a certificate." Zhao Pu said: "If you just go to see the excitement, you naturally don't need it, but if you want to compete on stage, you must have a letter of recommendation from the immortal officials of the DPRK." The young man said, "No matter how many products it is, it will be successful." ”

"Exactly. ”

Zhao Pu nodded and asked, "Fellow Daoist, could it be that you also want to participate in the Jingshi Water and Land Conference." ”

"Not bad. ”

The young man bowed slightly, and said with a straight face: "Old official, do you write this recommendation or not." ”

"This"

When Zhao Pu heard this, he couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, and asked: "Fellow Daoist, the magic power of the real person who protects the country is boundless, please think twice." ”

"No need. ”

The young man waved his hand and said lightly: "You write, I'll wait, on the third day of the ninth lunar month, I will definitely go to Jingshi and meet this real person who protects the country for a while." ”

"That's fine. ”

Zhao Pu hesitated for a moment, and finally answered, took out the pen and paper from the baggage, waved it, stamped the seal, and handed over the letter of recommendation. Zhao Pu said: "Fellow Daoist, it's not an old Taoist, this trip is indeed extremely dangerous, are you sure you want to go." ”

"Yes. ”

The young man accepted the recommendation, and without looking back, he stretched out his hand and asked Suqing, turned around, and disappeared at the end of the road in a short time.

Out of the city, Su Wen suddenly snorted, broke free of the young man's hands, and asked: "Hey, why did you accept his recommendation, can't you see that he deliberately provoked you to go to the capital, so that he could eradicate you by the hand of the real person who protected the country." ”

"I know. ”

The young man smiled slightly, and said lightly: "How can I not see this little trick, I just don't understand one thing, why he wants me to die." Su Wenqi said, "What." ”

The young man frowned, and said to himself: "I asked myself if I had not offended him, and besides, he was a disciple of the Heavenly Master Dao, so he shouldn't have treated me like this, but I really can't figure out why he has the heart to put me to death." Su Wen snorted and said, "Who knows, maybe I cut his face in front of everyone, he couldn't swallow this bad breath, so he designed to frame us." ”

"Maybe. ”

The young man nodded, turned around and said, "Su Wen, girl, when we come back from Tianmu Mountain, we must go to the capital for a walk." ”

"Why, do you still want to go? ”

"yes. ”

The young man stood up and said, "I always feel that there must be something wrong with the real person who protects the country, and I want to find out his details." ”

"You're crazy. ”

When Su Wen heard this, he jumped up and said hurriedly: "Didn't you listen to him say that he was public, what kind of protector can fly a sword to kill people thousands of miles away, he has such skills, not to mention that he is also a master of the Yuan Shen level, how can you be his opponent." The boy shook his head and said, "Who said I was going to do something with him?" Su Wenqi said, "Hey, what do you mean?" ”

The young man groaned for a moment and replied: "We have this letter of recommendation, and the trip to the capital will be unimpeded, I want to participate in this land and water conference, slowly approach the so-called protector of the country, and check his details nearby." Su Wen heard this, sighed, and said with a smile: "I see, you really scared me to pick it, hey, it's not bad to be an immortal official, there is nothing wrong with being a court official, and you don't have to be controlled by civil and military officials, it's really interesting." The young man said, "Why, do you really want me to be an immortal official of the imperial court?" Su Wen smiled and said, "Yes, you are an immortal official, don't I want to enjoy happiness with you." Seeing her laughing heartily, the young man's heart warmed when he saw her laughing heartily, and he reached out to hold her palm, and said, "Okay, in that case, when I become a real protector of the country, I will marry you as a first-class lady." Su Wen smiled: "You think beautifully." ”

Between the words, the two have already left the official road, walking towards the path, when they are going, suddenly heard a bubbling sound, not far away the water ripples, floating light and gold, actually to a big river, on both sides of the river, there is no way, only a stone tablet, a few willows only, the two approached, only to see the stele with a red pen to mention three three blood-red characters: "two boundary monuments." In addition, there is no recognition, Su Wen saw the text on the tablet, "huh", and said strangely:

"Two Boundary Monuments, what does this mean. ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard an old voice sing:

Morning dew and epiphany, close to the end of the world, Guanhe midnight dream,

Eight thousand years of jade old, one night withered and glorious, asked the sky why bother in this life,

Where the wind blew last night, who counted Luoying,

Ninety thousand miles of sky, the wind makes shadows, who is together,

Thousands of years of Beidou, Yao Palace is cold and bitter, not as good as a fairy couple, a hundred years of life. ”

The two of them followed the prestige, and saw that in the middle of the river, there was an old man in a cloak and a felt hat holding a small boat, rowing over step by step.

"Old man, what kind of place is this. ”

The old man put down his oars and replied, "Girl, this is an extraterrestrial sky, a stormy sea, and I don't know where the girl is going." When Su Wen heard this, he was surprised and hurriedly asked: "What is the extraterritorial sky, the storm sea." The old man said: "Out of Yuyang City, it is the Lion Slope, and before it is the storm sea, it is no longer the original territory, so it is called the extraterritorial sky, the storm and the sea are high and the waves are urgent, the waves are like mountains, even if there is Taoism, it is also sad, so it is named, I don't know if the girl asks, but do you want to cross the sea." ”

Su Wen shook his head and said, "No, we are going to Tianmu Mountain." ”

"Tianmu Mountain. ”

When the old man heard this, his face immediately changed, and he exclaimed: "Girl, Tianmu Mountain is not a good place to go, you can't go, you can't go." Su asked, "Hey, why can't you go?" ”

The old man sighed and said: "The girl doesn't know, in Tianmu Mountain, not long ago there was a group of demons, these people are extremely brutal, they kill people when they see them, near Tianmu Mountain, there are thousands of families, in just a few days, but they killed no one left, only Xiao Lao'er escaped by luck, and had to ferry-in here for a living. ”

"But"

Su Wen frowned, and asked with some hesitation: "Not long ago, I just came back from Tianmu Mountain, and I haven't seen half a demon. ”

"Ahem, I'm telling you what to do. ”

The old man shook his head, and said: "Girl, you also said that you only came back from Tianmu Mountain not long ago, and at that time these demons had not yet arrived, so you naturally have nothing to do, girl, but this time they occupy this mountain, and every time they are just killing people for food, how can it be fun, the two of you want to see the scenery, there are many famous mountains and rivers, so why bother to run to death." ”

"However, we really have to go to Tianmu Mountain. ”

Su Wen bit his lip and said: "Old man, if you are afraid of them, just anchor at the edge of the storm sea, even if the two of us are dead or injured, it has nothing to do with you, here are fifty taels of gold, and as a capital for sailing, and ask my master's subordinates to buy some wine to drink in their spare time." Saying that, he took out an ingot of gold from his arms, and threw it on the bow of the boat, and when the old man saw this big ingot of gold, he even straightened his eyes, and hurriedly leaned over and grabbed it, put it in his mouth and bit it a few times, and said busily: "Okay, good, the little old man will start the boat." After that, the old man hurriedly put down the gangplank, let the two of them up, and seeing that they were both seated, the old man propped up the boat, sang loudly, and rowed all the way to the opposite bank.

After a while, a layer of water vapor suddenly surged up on the water surface, and the three of them were caged, and they looked into the distance, only to see that it was dim all around, and the sun was shining on the opposite side, and the wind was completely different from the scene, Su Wen saw this, his heart was worried, and he hurriedly turned to the side, and the two eyes were cast at the young man, but the young man closed his eyes, leaned on the bow of the boat and pretended to sleep, Su Wen saw that he was so calm, so he sighed, and his heart was slightly settled,

Seeing that the boat went forward, the thicker the water vapor became, and when it came back, it seemed to be covered with a layer of fog. ”

When Su Wen heard this, she hurriedly opened her eyes, only to see that it was dark all around, as if it was night, she was startled, and was about to wake up the young man, when she suddenly heard the old man's scream, and then felt the hull of the ship tremble, and a thick bloody breath rushed to her face,

When he was frightened, he suddenly felt that he was about to tighten, and seemed to be grabbed by a strong hand, and then he heard a man's voice say: "Su Wen girl, don't be afraid." Listening to the tone of the young man's voice, Su Wen was originally full of panic, but when he heard his voice, he was inexplicably in his heart, and said in a low voice: "It's you." In the dark, I felt that the young man patted his vest and said in a deep voice: "Su Wen girl, are you afraid?" Su Wen smiled and said, "With you, I'm not afraid." ”

The young man was stunned when he heard this, his face was slightly hot, and he said in a low voice: "Su Wen, the old boatman was killed by me, and it was indeed a demon pretending." Su asked, "Yes, what should we do then?" The young man said, "I'm rowing, don't leave me." Su Wen nodded and said, "Okay, even if you kill me, I won't leave." The young man said, "Don't worry, with me, no one can kill you." Su Wen's heart warmed, and he couldn't help but reach out, shook the palm of the young man's hand, and said with a smile: "Well, I believe you." ”

When the words fell, he suddenly felt that his body was light, and he involuntarily flew up and landed on the bow of the boat, the young man let go of his hand and said slowly: "You hold my waist, let's row over." Su Wen nodded, his face was slightly hot, he opened his arms and gently closed his waist, the young man's body stiffened, and then he took a deep breath and said loudly: "Start the boat." ”
