It was already night when a few people rushed back to Zhuoyu Villa extremely exhausted.
I made the sword the day before, went through the battle at night, set out to suppress the thieves late at night, rushed to the forest battlefield early in the morning, fought three battles until noon, rested for a while, and then rushed back in the middle of the night. It took a whole day to go back and forth.
To be honest, this efficiency is not low, and it can be said to be a quick fix. You must know that if the battle is fierce, or if one party is chasing and the other is escaping, it is not surprising that it takes ten and a half months, three months and five months to escape.
But for a sword-making conference, this time is a bit long. Most of the guests had a rest last night, enjoyed a luxurious breakfast in the morning, and were sent down the mountain before noon. Some guests who were not yet satisfied but were close friends were arranged to stay on the mountain for a few days to enjoy more of the swamp scenery.
When Tang Zhao and others returned to the mountain, they first went to Jianlu, but there was no one inside. Deputy Ambassador Chi put down the cages where the two important prisoners were imprisoned and took care of them for the time being. Xingji and Tang Zhao went to find Junhou to restore his life.
Tang Zhao searched along the water's edge and saw an old man and an old lady on the terrace at the end of the boardwalk, drinking tea and chatting, seemingly enjoying the leisurely time of the sunset.
"Your Majesty. Master."
Tang Zhao saluted one by one. The old man was Xue Xianyun, and the old lady was of course Gao Yuanhou.
Marquis Gao Yuan said that casual is really casual. He was dressed more loosely than before. His white hair was loosely tied up in a fist, and he was blowing tea leaves carefully from a tea bowl. To anyone, she looked like an old lady who came to travel to maintain health. Xue Xianyun also looked calm, completely unable to notice the turmoil of the previous night.
Here Xing Ji reported everything about the encirclement and suppression of the turtle bandits to Marquis Gao Yuan, but Tang Zhao was more concerned about Xue Xianyun's outcome.
"Master, that person..."
Xue Xianyun was a little less interested and said, "He left."
Tang Zhao's heart sank and he said, "He can actually leave?"
Xue Xianyun said: "He escaped to the bottom of the water, but we still caught up with him and he was relieved."
Tang Zhao was startled and then reacted: "It seems to be such a move."
Bingjie is almost suicide, at least physical death.
The end of the road to become a true spiritual official is to abandon the physical body, cultivate the spiritual form, and transcend the world with the spiritual form.
Speaking of which, Feng Zhilie has a bit of that idea now, but he has no choice but to make progress, and since he turned into the spiritual phase, he has almost stopped making progress, and has become a sourceless water that can only be consumed, and it is difficult to replenish it. Therefore, he almost stopped doing anything and only focused on maintaining his health.
The true spirit officer has to transcend through the step of dismantling the Yuan Xiang with weapons. After people change the spiritual form, it is like the Yuan Shen ascending in the cultivation of immortals. They just abandon the stinky skin and have an infinite future.
"After he was defeated, he took advantage of his spiritual appearance to escape?"
Xue Xianyun sighed and said, "He retreated on his own, so I stopped chasing him. It's no longer interesting."
Tang Zhao thought for a while, and somewhat understood Xue Xianyun's "boring", and said, "Like Nezha?"
Abandon the physical body, repay previous debts, and eliminate all grudges.
Xue Xianyun nodded lightly and said: "You kid is really smart... I saw that my flesh and bones were destroyed, so I really had no intention of pursuing it any further. Shenyi was still bent on chasing him to the ends of the earth, so I pulled him back. He didn't disobey. , but I felt uncomfortable in my heart. I saw what he meant, saying that I deceived myself and others, which would lead to endless troubles."
Tang Zhao said: "Actually, I feel a little uncomfortable."
But forget it.
He and Jiang Shenyi both had clear-cut personalities about love and hate, but he cared more about love than he cared about hate. Jiang Shenyi, on the other hand, has very strong love and hate, and also has a tenacity. If he is allowed to chase Shi Chunqing, he really has to chase Shi Chunqing to the point where there is no scum left.
But this is still the grudge between master and disciple Xue Xianyun and Shi Chunqing. If Xue Xianyun lets go, it will be difficult for others to say anything. Not even Jiang Shenyi said anything, let alone Tang Zhao?
only……
"Then what was his emotion when the troops were dismissed? Was it relief or resentment? Has he put aside his grudges? Or is he just retreating and coming back?"
Xue Xianyun said: "I don't know either." He actually didn't want to say that when Shi Chunqing finally retreated, he had no intention of settling the old grudges. At most, he was afraid of being beaten and didn't dare to come. But if he succeeds in his cultivation in the future, he may not think twice about it. "All our previous friendships and grievances ended last night. If he comes again, even if I don't take action, you can deal with him like you treat other turtle bandits."
Tang Zhao said: "I understand."
After Xing Ji finished reporting the mission, Marquis Gao Yuan gave a few instructions and smiled at Tang Zhao: "A Zhao, I talked to your master about things here before, and he agreed to work under our Yunzhou Marquis Mansion. I am a guest swordsmith."
Tang Zhao said: "Oh, that's good..."
He just thought that Marquis Gao Yuan was just informing him. Is it strange that you two should inform him specifically about the arrangement?
Marquis Gao Yuan smiled and said: "So, your burden is light. You can think about what you want to do in the future."
Only then did Tang Zhao understand: In fact, he had come to Zhuoyu Villa as a "commissioned trainee" of the Land Inspection Department early in the morning, and had already booked his future position as a swordsmith in the Land Inspection Department. No matter what title he holds, he will definitely have to forge swords specifically for the District Procuratorate in the future, at least a few, so that he can repay his debt of training and be able to choose his future more freely.
Now Xue Xianyun took over this matter and first became the swordsmith of the Jiandi Division. This was an extra benefit for Marquis Gao Yuan and also relieved Tang Zhao of some of his obligations. Although it is said that the more swordsmiths the better, and if Tang Zhao also became a full-time swordsmith, the inspection department would definitely welcome him with both hands, but if he didn't want to, he could have an explanation.
For example, he could choose to temporarily put aside his identity as a swordsmith and talisman swordsman and fight like other swordsmen.
Tang Zhao was grateful for his master's care, but hesitant at the same time. Becoming a swordsman was his long-cherished wish, but once he got his wish, he was not particularly eager to fight, at least when there was no enemy in front of him that he had to kill quickly, he was not so eager to try. It’s not a bad idea to concentrate on forging swords for a while. It’s also good to join the Jiandi Division as a swordsman. You can even go down the mountain and travel around the world first...
Seeing his look, Marquis Gao Yuan knew that he was hesitant and said with a smile: "You don't have to be anxious. The District Directorate is not in a hurry to ask you to work. If you really want to make a sword, you can redeem my lottery ticket first. Or maybe If you have any unfinished personal matters, you can take care of them first. In this way, let Xing Ji stay on your mountain for a few days first..."
Tang Zhao looked at Xingji in surprise, and Gao Yuanhou said: "He is responsible for telling you about the swordsman's training experience. There are some things that you should know as soon as possible."
This is the secret of personal transmission. The so-called true transmission is one sentence, while the false transmission is thousands of books. How to become a swordsman is not a secret. Even Jianghu people know that if you find a suitable sword, just pick it up and wait for the sword to transform you. But what about becoming a swordsman?
Setting foot on that path, knowing how to climb upward, and pursuing a higher realm are the secrets that are not passed down by each family. The road leading to Swordsman is also rugged and steep. You have to explore it on your own. It is a trivial matter to stop moving forward. There are still many obstacles that can be fatal. For example, it is not unusual for the sword's core to collapse like the Jubao Sword.
Although Xingji would teach Tang Zhao without having to ask Gao Yuanhou, the meaning of Xingji's teaching directly designated by Gao Yuanhou was different.
Tang Zhao was naturally grateful and said politely: "I'm afraid it will delay Mr. Xing's official business..."
When he thought about it, although Xingji was white, the kings and princes were coming to visit him, so his resurrection was just around the corner? If he is delayed longer in the mountains, will it affect his official career?
Marquis Gao Yuan said politely: "He has no official business." Seeing that Xue Xianyun also joined the Prosecution Department as one of her own, she had no scruples and said directly, "I originally planned to ask him to go to the front line and stay for a while to get rid of his crimes, but I didn't I thought that after half a year, this kid developed that messy swordsmanship again. You have also seen that his swordsmanship is clearly aimed at people. How can he go to the front line to fight against the devil? It is not suitable for me to stay in the inspection department. I It's really nerve-racking to find a suitable position for him now."
Xing Ji returned to the state of pretending to be deaf and dumb.
Tang Zhao thought to himself: It seems that the devil really can't follow the steps. Otherwise, why should he send the chief criminal to hunt down the turtle bandits?
However, it was not his turn to comment on the official position of Xingji, so he had to accompany Hua Ran.
Marquis Gao Yuan said: "I do have an idea, but now is not the time. I still have to go to the court to do some work..."
At this moment, Deputy Chi, who had been staying in Jianlu to guard the important criminal, hurried over and crossed his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the imperial convict Zhou Chengzhi wants to see you."
Marquis Gao Yuan looked at him quietly, waiting for him to explain - never mind the criminal, Marquis Gao Yuan did not just see him if he wanted to. Even if he becomes a king, it will be the same. Deputy Ambassador Chi is not a person who doesn't know the importance of things. Since he came to report, there must be a reason.
Deputy Chi took a step forward and whispered: "Junhou - that person said that there is a major conspiracy of the turtle bandits in Yunzhou that he wants to report, but he will not tell the story until he meets Junhou with his own eyes."
Marquis Gao Yuan looked slightly suspicious, and Deputy Chi continued to explain: "The prisoner Zhou Chengzhi was actually deceived and coerced by the turtle bandits. He is not a direct descendant of the turtle bandits. He has just recognized the true face of the turtle bandits, and his words are somewhat credible. "As he said this, he briefly explained the path of Zhou Chengzhi's hometown to destruction.
Marquis Gao Yuan stood up and said, "In that case, I'll go see him."
She and Deputy Chief Chi went without calling anyone else, so Xingji and the others were naturally inconvenient to follow.
Tang Zhao glanced at Xing Ji. Although Xing Ji was muttered a few words by Gao Yuanhou, he didn't care at the moment and said: "Then I'll stay for a few more days, which would be good. When I get my lazy muscles back, I'll give it to you." I don’t even want to be a first-grade official.”
Tang Zhao would not be disappointed and said: "Welcome. You can stay as long as you like. Mr. Ping, Mr. Guan, and Feng Zhen are still there to guard them. It would be better for everyone to stay a few days longer."
After chatting for a while, Marquis Gao Yuan didn't reply for a while. Tang Zhao remembered something and said, "Master, what should you do with your 'sword'?"
This sword was originally cast for Shi Chunqing, but now that Shi Chunqing has left, and losing his body, it is impossible to follow the path of a swordsman. What's more, even if he stayed, he wouldn't be able to equip himself with a sword, so the sword would be idle. It would be a pity to keep such a good sword on the shelf.
Moreover, there may still be hidden dangers. This wave of turtle invaders has retreated, how could they know that they can't come back again? After this battle, the turtle bandits suffered heavy losses. I wonder if they were discouraged and gave up temporarily, or if they became more courageous with every setback and pressed on in a big way?
Xue Xianyun looked lonely and said: "What else can I do? I asked the disciples to try it, but none of them could match it. I have no intention of wasting a sword, so I might as well sell it to the Inspector. Gao Yuanhou is still Healthy."
Tang Zhao pondered: "How about changing it to a usable one? Give it to Senior Sister?"
Xue Xianyun said: "It's good to be able to change. How could there be such a coincidence that the right one happens to be suitable? It's all fate. Ye Yu's inspiration is not too high, and the range of choices is not wide... I don't know what she is suitable for. .”
Tang Zhao said: "Actually, I have a guess, maybe..." He asked Xing Ji, "Mr. Xing, what did you do with Jie Ya's sword before?"
