At dawn, more than 20 large carriages were dispatched from the direction of Modao County. They were led by law enforcement guards from the Daolu Branch and experienced government officials served as carriage drivers. They drove into the wilderness and distributed food and water to the beggars. The same ragged natives had a hearty meal and drove to Mo Dao County to set up a stronghold in the east.
There were no more twists and turns along the way, and we arrived at the place when it was dark.
Modao County received the order from Protector Xie nine days ago, and hurriedly delineated a piece of wasteland and asked craftsmen to work to build a small village. The houses, vegetable fields, and farmland were well planned, and the water channels and farmland were well organized. Still under construction.
Registering, arranging housing, allocating food for a few days and other complicated and trivial matters did not settle down until very late.
Zhang Wenfeng and accompanying Xie Moling waited in the air until the dust settled. When they were done, Fang said goodbye to the director of the Daolu Branch of Modao County, Yu, and flew to the northeastern state city.
Gu Gu, Jin Lao and others had their own affairs and left one after another when they entered Modao County.
Tu Kun and Mountain Badger also returned to the Taoist Temple ahead of schedule.
This time when he went back, Tu Kun was no longer a guest, but regarded the Taoist temple as his own local protector. He already understood that the original intention of the entire Xianling Temple was that Xuanmu was built because of him. His mentality was very different now and then. .
Zhang Wenfeng was chatting with Xie Moling, and was quite happy in his heart. He had previously completed the household registration of 263 people, and a moment after stamping the official seal, the two ancient volumes that had not been moved for a long time in his knowledge shined brightly at the same time.
A new verse has been added to the first chapter of the "De Jing": "The superior virtue is inactive and has no thoughts; the inferior virtue is inactive but has thoughts."
As he probed, the golden light of the seal script seemed to have an invisible rhyme, and the sound of the scriptures was vaguely like the sound of a fairy. All restored in an instant.
Merits are repaid, and magical powers are born from within.
This time he obtained a mysterious magical power called "Moving Wood and Changing Shadow".
After a brief inspection, he understood that this magical power is a combination of his Giant Tree Apparition Technique and Jiugong Flying Star Step. He can use flowers, plants and trees to quickly change his image and escape. The range is about a hundred feet. It is a very practical magical power that combines attack and defense. .
"What happy event makes Guanzhu Zhang laugh? It makes me happy too."
Xie Moling noticed that Zhang Guanzhu, who was flying with him, exuded a kind of inner joy. Even he was slightly affected by the distance of about three feet, so he asked with a smile.
Zhang Wenfeng hurriedly calmed down and said: "Standing back from death and living in the face of death can always make people uneasy and uneasy. Zhang can't practice well, so it makes Protector Xie laugh and laugh!"
The collar of his robe on his shoulders was arched. Affected by his mood and the strong wood energy, Xiao Jingmei woke up from practice, like drinking wine, and poked her head into the dark outside world.
Looking into Xie Moling's eyes, Lu Xiner quickly tightened her collar to cover up.
Xie Moling and several others, especially Gu Gu and Jin Lao, had noticed the presence of the subtle demonic energy on Guanzhu Zhang's shoulder earlier, but they couldn't ask more questions. At this time, when they saw the real appearance of Green Weaver Girl, Xie Moling left Guanzhu Zhang alone and didn't want to He answered the last question and said with a smile: "Guanzhu Zhang is so lucky. Where did you adopt these beautiful little spirits from?"
Lu Xiner plucked up the courage and protested in a low voice: "We are following Mr. Zhang for the time being, not the spirit adopted by Mr. Zhang." She likes to hear the word "beautiful", but does not agree with the word "adopted", which is too ugly.
Xie Moling chuckled and said: "I made a mistake, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Please show up and see me."
Lu Xin'er was not familiar with Protector Xie, so she whispered: "It is not a crime for those who don't know. We will meet again when we have the opportunity in the future."
She was timid and did not dare to meet strangers casually. Her sister was even more unbearable and huddled in the back without showing her head.
After Zhang Wenfeng introduced the names of the two Jingmei, he explained: "Tu Kun and I went to the Caomu Ridge secret realm and got along well with the Caomu Jingmei clan. Lu Xiner and the other sisters followed me out to find ways to stabilize the secret realm. , or find a safe land where the tribe can settle down, and we will move around together in the future."
His current status has risen with the tide, and it is not difficult to find a piece of land for Lu Xiner and the others.
Da'an Dynasty does not exclude foreigners, especially non-threatening races like Caomu Jingmei, who are more welcome.
Xie Moling envied: "I have been to Caomuling twice, but I was rejected both times. I have never had the opportunity to enter the famous Caomuling secret realm. Lu Xin'er, next time I will sign up for you, can you enter the secret realm?" ?”
Lu Xin'er poked half of her head out and said: "Thank you protector for your forgiveness and telling me my name. The sisters in the secret realm can't hear it. Maybe your method of knocking on the door is wrong? I'll give you a token that can be used next year. Go in late spring.”
She was just not familiar with worldly affairs, and it was not like she couldn't observe people's words. She saw that Protector Xie had a high status and had a good relationship with Guanzhu Zhang, so she gave him a token that could allow him to enter the house once as a way of making friends.
There are various reasons for not opening the door. Even if the door-knocking method is correct, but the auras on the body are conflicting, the door-keeper sisters may not open the door.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
The reason why the door was opened to Zhang Guanzhu and the others that time was because the aura of wood in Zhang Guanzhu's body was friendly. If Tu Kun had gone alone, he would have been rejected. Later, it was Zhang Guanzhu who chanted sutras to help Tu Kun wash away his evil sins and cleanse his aura before he was allowed to travel. , otherwise Tukun wouldn’t be able to stay long.
Xie Moling smiled and caught a small green leaf, thanked her, and started chatting with Xiao Jingmei.
As a monk, he did not want to miss any opportunity to increase his knowledge.
It was already late at night when we flew to Zhoucheng.
It was arranged for Zhang Guanzhu to stay in a separate courtyard of Daolu Branch Inn in Zhoucheng, and Xie Moling returned to his own residence without mentioning it.
The two little fairies flew down from Guanzhu Zhang's shoulders, jumping up and down on the flowers and trees in the yard, chasing and playing, feeling the difference between this place and the secret realm. Zhang Wenfeng sat quietly in the room, comprehending the mystery of having died once.
There is great terror between life and death, but there is also great freedom.
At dawn, Zhang Wenfeng finished his morning classes, called to the waiter who was waiting outside the door, placed some food on the table, and had breakfast with sister Lu Xiner who was drinking some soup at the table.
After he advanced to the state of freedom, he slowly began to live without food. He did not eat human fireworks, but only ate Xia Xia and breathed Qi to replenish his needs. It is still a habit now.
First, go to the guardian court of Daolu Branch, and go to the north courtyard together with Guardian Xie to visit Yu Xixian, the principal of the hospital.
The taciturn and gentle-looking Yu Xixian went through the routine of questioning, assessment, and registration. He took back his old jade badges, issued new identity badges, and gave some encouragement on behalf of the Daolu Academy. After finishing his official business, he asked a few questions about the story of Guanzhu Zhang's distress as a token of his gratitude. care.
He has already received several summonses from Protector Xie, and he will not ask more questions than he should.
Then the three of them discussed the upcoming promotion of Xianlingguan to the sect.
Half an hour later, when sending Zhang Wenfeng out, Yu Xixian raised a finger and shook it, then smiled and handed over his hand.
Zhang Wenfeng understood that the academy was bringing up old things again. In July last year, it had said that it hoped he would be promoted within two years, and he did it within one year, so he returned to thank him.
He refused the kindness of the dean and Protector Xie to entertain him.
He had just been promoted not long ago, and he was already a little uncomfortable with ordinary food, not to mention that the two of them were more advanced than him?
Without alerting Yun Qiuhe, He Guangjun and others, they flew west alone.
The sky is high and the clouds are clear, and the charm is with you.
Feeling the elusive righteousness and strong wind between heaven and earth, the figure moved further and further away.
