In front of the gate of Zhou Zaoxing, the governor of Luoyang.
"The main gate is Chen Xixiang in Qingcheng Mountain."
I heard Chen Xixiang’s self-reported origin.
The knife-wielding guard outside the door raised his eyebrows, looked up and down again, and said:
"Qingcheng Mountain Taoist?"
Think for a moment.
He turned around and said to the person behind him:
"Go to the magistrate's palace to check and see if there is such a person among the Taoist priests in Qingcheng Mountain?"
"This? Okay."
At first, the guard who came forward to expel Chen Xixiang frowned, but finally turned around and entered the mansion.
The inspection speed is very fast.
Since Fu Yin specially invited Taoist masters, he was naturally not afraid of being impersonated by some mountain fox Taoist.
With the goodwill of the Dao Song world towards the Tao sect, and the fact that this world is a world with a transcendent cultivation system, there is naturally a miraculous way to check it.
The guard just turned around and went in and wrote the words "Zhengdamen Qingcheng Mountain Chen Xixiang" on an ancient mirror with a vermilion brush and ink, and soon the handwriting appeared on the mirror.
After a while, he came out with a stern face and said to the older person:
"It is indeed a small trail in Qingcheng Mountain, and it has been documented, but the Taoist books in Qingcheng Mountain show that this man's cultivation level is no higher than the first level of muscle-changing in the physical body. How can he enter? No!"
"One is a kid who barely managed to get the title of Taoist priest. If this can be included, how decent will it be?"
There was a reason why this person dared to call Chen Xixiang a Taoist before.
In this Song Dynasty, because Emperor Dao Zong respected Taoism, he gave special titles to those in the Taoist sect according to the world's cultivation level.
In the first step, physical monks can be called "Taoist priests".
Once you reach the innate realm, you can be called a "real person".
The third step to becoming an immortal was for Emperor Daozong to personally confer the title of "immortal".
Chen Xixiang never showed up in Qingcheng Mountain, and after coming down from the mountain, his cultivation level was not reported to the sect. Therefore, of course, the records of his cultivation level were still in the sect, and there was no change or update.
door.
Chen Xixiang listened to the conversation between the two.
He sighed inwardly.
Just when he was about to have to "show his holiness in front of others".
Da da da~~
Suddenly there was the sound of trampling horseshoes and grinding wheels. A group of carriages drove over from a distance and stopped at the door of Zhou Fuyin. A voice came from the sedan:
"I see that although this Taoist Priest is still young, he has a rainbow-like energy spurting out from the top of his head. He is not an ordinary person. How about letting him go in with me to meet Master Zhou."
Along with the sound, a driver on the carriage came down.
This driver has sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, a majestic weapon, and a chivalrous face.
After the young coachman got off, the curtain of the carriage was opened by a big dark hand, and out came a middle-aged man with a face as black as coal and a crescent moon on his forehead. He had a majestic temperament and a thick face.
"This person……"
A trace of surprise flashed in Chen Xixiang's eyes.
With such a familiar face, in this Song Dynasty, there is probably only that person in the world.
really.
Immediately after seeing the dark-faced middle-aged man appear, all the guards at Zhou Fuyin's door looked shocked and hurriedly knelt down on one knee and said:
"Master Bao!"
Hear this.
Chen Xixiang's eyes lit up slightly, and there was a smile in his eyes.
It turned out to be Bao Zheng.
So, this young man driving the bus is...
That Nan Xia?
Chen Xixiang looked at the young coachman and found that the young coachman had a powerful aura and his skin was faintly glowing. He was clearly in the realm of an innate master.
At this time, the guard had no objection at all.
"Since it is Mr. Bao who has spoken, please, please, I will report to you soon!"
I had long heard that Mr. Bao was going to be promoted to the governor of Kaifeng, and he passed through Luoyang along the way. Based on his relationship with his master, he must have come to visit. It was probably because of the sword that his master had been worried about recently. It seems See if I can be of any help.
"Please, Mr. Xiaodao."
Bao Zheng smiled and put his hands behind his back and said to Chen Xixiang.
The young coachman followed behind.
And a guard had already hurried to notify Fu Yin Zhou Zaoxing.
After Chen Xixiang, Bao Zheng and the young coachman walked into the house.
Chen Xixiang smiled slightly and said:
"Thank you Master Bao for bringing Pindao in, but Pindao is a little confused. Why is Master willing to bring Pindao in?"
When Bao Zheng heard this, he stroked his beard and smiled, saying:
"To be honest, the Taoist priest said that Bao Zheng has suffered from a strange eye disease since he was a child, and he can see things that ordinary people cannot see. He once met a Taoist master who said that Bao Zheng has a pair of flaming eyes that can detect the auras of people and ghosts. He just now From a very far distance, Bao Zheng saw the Taoist Priest's aura rising into the sky from above his head. Although Bao Zheng didn't know anything about you cultivators, he could tell from this that the Taoist Priest had some cultivation. Strange man.”
"Since the guards have verified that the Taoist Priest's identity is correct, Bao Zheng naturally doesn't mind bringing the Taoist Priest in for Mr. Zhou."
When Chen Xixiang heard this, his heart fluctuated slightly, and he looked into Bao Zheng's eyes:
"Master Bao has fire eyes?"
He couldn't see clearly with his naked eyes, so Chen Xixiang used his spiritual consciousness to control his eyes.
Just a glance.
boom!
Suddenly, when he looked at Bao Zheng, a righteous and masculine spirit surged into the sky from above his head.
It actually gave him a faint burning sensation.
An ordinary person with such a weak physical body can actually be so upright and masculine in spirit.
Chen Xixiang immediately withdrew his consciousness and said in his heart:
"As expected of the selfless Bao Qingtian, this smart and upright scholar's thoughts and soul are so masculine and powerful. If he cultivates my ghost immortality, wouldn't he be able to leave his body immediately, possess his body, and seize other people's bodies?"
Then Chen Xixiang thought of a legend from his previous life. It was said that Bao Zheng could judge the yang during the day and the yin at night. After his death, he became the King of Hell in the underworld and led the ten palaces.
Although there is no such thing as heaven or underworld in the Song Dynasty.
But now when he heard Bao Zheng say that he had fire eyes and could see people and ghosts, he couldn't help but think of something.
"Could it be..."
Chen Xixiang suppressed this thought for the time being, and did not show much special reaction to Bao Zheng's upright and masculine spirit. He praised:
"With extraordinary powers from heaven, there must be great responsibilities. Mr. Bao will have great fortunes in the future."
Bao Zheng noticed that Chen Xixiang looked young on the surface, but his tone of voice was mature and steady.
He couldn't help but smile and shake his head: "The Taoist priest is too praised."
However, this fire eye power does allow him to see like a torch, easily distinguish right from wrong, and solve cases like a god.
The three of them could only walk a few steps in Zhou Fuyin's house.
There were footsteps and laughter coming from ahead:
"I have long heard that Master Bao will pass by me and be promoted to the governor of Kaifeng. I expected that Master Bao will definitely come to my place. Sure enough, he came today."
Along with the sound, a group of people came from a distance.
He wore a hair crown, looked majestic, and had well-maintained skin. He looked to be in his thirties or forties, and he was Zhou Zaoxing, the governor of Luoyang.
Not even a moment passed.
Zhou Zaoxing led a team of people to the front. After greeting Bao Zheng, he immediately saw Chen Xixiang. Even though he saw Chen Xixiang's age, he did not reveal anything. Instead, he said extremely politely:
"This must be Daochang Chen, but he's also here for that sword."
Apparently, he had already received the notice from his servants before Chen Xixiang and Bao Zheng came in.
Chen Xixiang smiled lightly, nodded, and said to Zhou Zaoxing:
"Yes, I came here just for the knife in your master's house."
Zhou Zaoxing said gratefully: "Thank you, Taoist Master."
He just finished.
I heard Bao Zheng also say in a deep voice:
"Actually, Bao Zheng came here specifically for this matter. The woman who spread the news about the knife in your house has ulterior motives. I specially brought Guard Zhan here. With Guard Zhan's martial arts cultivation, I should be able to help you suppress some of the people who want to The knife thief.”
Zhou Zaoxing was overjoyed when he heard this.
"Great, the Quanzhen Sect's Master Yuyang and some Taoist priests have been stationed at the house in advance. If Zhan Guard is added...this little Taoist priest, the martial arts people who come to Luoyang this time will definitely We can’t cause a big mess.”
His eyes inevitably ignored Chen Xixiang, and instead focused on the young coachman.
Zhanzhaozhan is the bodyguard, this is Lord Bao's right-hand man, and he is known as the Nan Xia in the world.
Zhou Zaoxing only mentioned Chen Xixiang politely.
Because he received a reminder from the guard and knew that Chen Xixiang's cultivation level recorded in the Taoist books in Qingcheng Mountain was only one level of physical body, so he subconsciously didn't attach much importance to it.
Chen Xixiang didn't mind this adult's attitude.
Instead, he noticed the real Yuyang person mentioned by Luoyang Fuyin.
Chen Xixiang was thoughtful and said to Zhou Zao
"That Master Yuyang, is he Wang Chuyi?"
Zhou Zaoxing said with a smile: "It was this Master Wang of the Quanzhen Sect who happened to be near Luoyang when I was issuing the Order to Seek Taoism. Master Wang hated the evil and rushed to his house immediately. , expressed his willingness to help me guard the dangerous sword."
He really is Wang Chuyi.
Chen Xixiang had a cold smile on his face.
Taoist priests in the world cannot escape from the two lines of Zhengyi and Quanzhen.
Even if the person who came here first was not Wang Chuyi but another Taoist priest from the Quanzhen lineage, they would probably be incompatible with him.
What's more, the person he abolished just over half a year ago happened to be Wang Chuyi's disciple.
This is a narrow road between enemies.
Zhou Zaoxing, who had just said those words, realized in hindsight that the man in front of him was a young Taoist priest.
He thought to himself:
"I hope Master Yuyang won't get into trouble with a Xiaodao, otherwise, he won't blame me for being unkind."
In Zhou Zaoxing's heart, any Taoist priest who is willing to guard the sword for him is a sincere and valuable person. Although the little Taoist priest in front of him is younger, he is also sincere.
If the old master Wang Chuyi inside breaks out the conflict between Zhengyi and Quanzhen on such a small person, then he will have trouble with Zhou Zaoxing.
These thoughts flashed through Zhou Zaoxing's mind, but he smiled and said:
"You two, please come in first. In fact, besides Zhenren Wang, there is another distinguished guest in the house."
He mainly said this to Bao Zheng, but it also meant to resolve the embarrassment just now.
Bao Zheng showed appropriate surprise and asked, "Oh, Mr. Zhou has another distinguished guest. I don't know who he is. Does Bao Zheng know him?"
Zhou Zaoxing showed a faint smile and said: "This man was recently demoted and traveled to Luoyang. After arriving in Luoyang, he lived here like a rogue and couldn't even drive him away..."
After that, he said the man's name.
After hearing this person's name, Bao Zheng showed a strange and surprised expression:
"This Su Dongpo actually came to Luoyang?"
Su Dongpo? !
Chen Xixiang couldn't help but feel moved in his heart.
But it was not for Su Dongpo, but...
The man who almost destroyed Buddhism in the future seemed to have been a boy next to Su Dongpo.
Chen Xixiang was immediately curious, raised his eyebrows and said:
"Is there a boy named Lin Lingsu accompanying Mr. Dongpo?"
"Huh?"
Zhou Zaoxing couldn't help but look surprised.
I was about to ask Chen Xixiang why he knew.
Several people were walking.
A bold and hearty man laughed in front of him and said:
"Tong'er, why didn't I expect you to be so famous?"
Several people followed the sound and immediately saw where the sound was coming from.
It was a middle-aged scribe wearing a wide-sleeved robe and sandals, with a romantic aura about him.
Next to him was an eleven or twelve-year-old boy, whose eyes were more mature than those of ordinary children, but he still expressed full doubts because his name was known to the stranger Chen Xixiang.
Just after Su Dongpo spoke.
Another steady laughter came from behind. The sound was faintly magnetic, as if it was echoing in the empty valley, and appeared in everyone's ears:
"Haha, sir, are there so many guests in your house today?"
It was a Taoist priest who came from not far away. He was dressed in black robes and looked to be no more than thirty or forty years old. But as soon as he appeared in the eyes of everyone, he immediately seemed to become the center of the scene and took away everything in the house. Feng shui aura.
His eyes are like the moon and his complexion is like jade. Although he is a Taoist priest, he exudes the charm of a mature man.
"Master Wang came just in time."
Zhou Zaoxing laughed loudly and said:
"Let me introduce to you. This is Wang Chuyi, the real person from Yuyang of Quanzhen Sect. Those three are Master Bao, Nan Xia Zhan Zhao, and Taoist Master Chen Xixiang from Zhengyi Qingcheng Mountain."
When Wang Chu heard the names of Bao Zheng and Zhan Zhao, he still smiled.
But then I heard the words "Zhengyi Qingchengshan" and "Chen Xixiang".
His smile disappeared little by little.
Then he looked at Chen Xixiang.
"You are the Qingchengshan who not only tore off my apprentice Zhijing's arm, but also crippled his cultivation...Chen! Xi! Xiang!"
The last three words came out one after another from Master Yuyang.
In a pair of eyes.
It's like ice that has been frozen for thousands of years, and the chill has spread!
Just this moment.
Immediately everyone present felt the hair on their bodies stand on end, as if the surrounding environment had entered the cold winter months like lightning.
Wisps of invisible wind have murderous intent!
What's more important is that the expressions of other people who heard Wang Chuyi's words changed drastically.
Then, they turned to look at Chen Xixiang.
Zhou Zaoxing's complexion changed from pale to pale: "This..."
Is it such a narrow road between enemies?
Bao Zheng frowned:
"Master Yuyang, is there any misunderstanding?"
However, Bao Zheng just said these words.
Chen Xixiang spoke with a faint smile in his tone and said:
"Master Bao, you don't have to be like this. What he said is not false, but the truth. Of course it is not a misunderstanding."
As soon as this sentence came out.
Master Yuyang sneered inexplicably "hehehe" and his face turned blue with anger.
The expressions of everyone present changed again.
But...a fact?
It's not a misunderstanding!
That is to say, you not only tore off an arm of the disciple of Yuyang Master, but also disabled that person's martial arts?
In an instant.
Not only Bao Zheng and Zhan Zhao looked at Chen Xixiang in surprise.
Even Su Dongpo and Lin Lingsu in the distance were surprised.
Knowing that he had a grudge against Master Yuyang, he still dared to come to see him, and more importantly, he dared to say it so easily in front of him.
