Outside the South China Sea, there is a purple bamboo forest among the green mountains and green trees. The bamboo leaves are as lush as purple gems inlaid in the mountains. The gentle breeze makes the purple bamboo leaves rustle and shine brightly like gems.
There is a temple in the bamboo forest, lotus ponds are everywhere, and three or two women in white are floating around, like fairies.
There is a lotus platform in the attic of the lotus pond. Sitting cross-legged is an old woman in a white dress and white gauze. She has a high bun and two white ribbons. She looks at the dozens of women sitting cross-legged on futons under the lotus platform with kind eyes.
As he glanced around, he noticed that a woman in the front row was distracted and said, "Birou, are you impetuous?"
Before Birou could answer, another woman said first, "Junior sister has been absent-minded recently, maybe she is thinking about the Taoist priest in Qingcheng Mountain!"
There was laughter below.
Biorou's face is covered with red clouds.
The woman shouted to everyone: "Stop making noise!"
Then he said eloquently: "Life cannot be exempted from the secular world. Qi-training monks pay attention to the purity of mind and body. The heart must be pure, and it must be free from desires and worries. The body must be pure, so as to stay away from the secular world."
"There are three ways to solve the above, one is to cut off, the other is to break, and the third is to follow the fate."
“To cut off requires ruthlessness, to end requires kindness, and to let go requires kindness.”
Only then did she turn her gaze to Birou: "You have a kind and gentle nature, and when you have support in your heart, you will have love. This is the normal state of human beings. In my opinion, Taoist Zhao does not seem to have a bad fate. If you really want to help him, You might as well turn this obsession into strength and you will see results in the future.”
Birou suddenly came to an epiphany, folded her hands and saluted: "I will follow my master's instructions!"
The woman looked around at the others: "Everything in the world follows cause and effect. It starts from it and falls from it. There are many causes and effects. We Qi practitioners pay more attention to the state of mind. If you think it is the inner demon, it is the inner demon. What do you think? It is the cornerstone of the path of training, and it is the cornerstone of the path of adversity. I hope you, my teacher, will view it correctly."
Dozens of women in white clothes below all folded their hands and saluted: "I sincerely follow my master's teachings!"
This place is called Nanhai Zizhu Forest, where the reclusive Ziyun Sect practices its style. On that day, Master Miaoshan traveled to the north of Qing State and saw Birou blocking a fatal blow for Zhao Zhengli at the Mihe River in Qingzhou and Weizhou. Xiao was destined, and Xiao was a woman. Out of compassion, he easily rescued Birou whose life was hanging by a thread, so he led her into the Nanhai Sect.
.
In the direction of Laizhou Post Road, a teahouse was full of people. After tea and dinner, everyone was discussing the recent deeds in the world, even ignoring the stunning woman sitting by the window.
The woman was wearing an emerald green horse-faced silk skirt and her face was covered with tulle. She sat alone at the window and listened.
"Qingcheng Mountain, which is indifferent to worldly affairs, actually hides dragons and crouching tigers. It is said that Yuan Chaoyang, who is rivaling the four great masters, is ranked second on the mountain. The leader ranked first must not be able to compete with the gods on land?"
"What kind of rivalry? It's clearly a crushing one. One sword penetrated Du Qiao, and he also knocked away three old monks from Northern Shaolin."
"It is rumored that the head of the Du family came forward to pick up the dying Du Qiao in the end, and presented Yuan Chaoyang with wild ginseng and a ship to go to sea. Is that guy trying to intercept the elixir of longevity that the Three Saints of Hu Temple are looking for for His Majesty?"
"Is this Qingcheng Mountain too courageous? Let's not talk about whether there is elixir of life in the world, can he defeat the three saints in the temple?"
"The imperial court turns a blind eye and closes one eye. If it is really determined, Yuan Chaoyang will be allowed to go against the will of heaven and his hundreds of thousands of troops will be killed!"
"Brother, I am really not afraid of flashing my tongue. Let's not talk about the situation of hundreds of thousands. It is difficult to suppress the Khitan and Tibetans who are about to move on the border. With hundreds of thousands of horses, it is better to go north to regain the land of Yanyun and cause internal strife at home. "
"This old man is insightful. If the imperial court gathers a team of great masters, why worry about losing ground? I'm afraid the whole world will surrender to the feet of Daqing!"
"Do you think the Grand Master is everywhere with cats and dogs? Let me tell you, we are all just eating carrots and not worrying. The rivers and lakes are rising one after another, and the temples are growing one after another. We are just spectators. Take good care of those girls in Xunhuan Tower. We are stronger than anything else!"
"Lao Kui, I heard some women complained about you not being able to do it two days ago!"
There was a roar of laughter.
When the woman heard this, she sipped her tea and smiled, blooming like a fairy flower under the gauze.
It happened that a man saw her, and he immediately became crazy. His companion looked at her with a surprised look on his face. Seeing that she was alone, he smiled lewdly and said, "This is more eye-catching than the Xunhuan Loutou sign!"
The woman noticed something and frowned and ignored it.
However, this move touched the heartstrings of the men more and more, and their mean smiles turned obscene: "Oh, my heart is about to jump out."
The woman was disgusted and glared at a few people with her smart eyes, but in the eyes of the men, it was just a look of disgust: "The soul is also taken away!"
The woman suddenly felt disgusted by the tea in the cup, dropped three taels of copper and suddenly stood up and left.
A few people paused for a moment and followed closely, leaving the teahouse waiters and diners to lament and lament, as such incidents had long been commonplace.
Outside the tea house is an endless post road, lined with dense jungles on both sides, leading to Dengzhou in the east and Weizhou in the west.
The masked woman in the emerald green horse-faced skirt headed east, leaving a trail of swaying figures on the post road, followed by several men who were smearing their saliva without covering up.
After only a few dozen meters out, the green beauty disappeared. The men rubbed their eyes and asked, "Did you see a ghost in broad daylight?"
"bass!"
The next moment, a white thin sword shot out from the green forest and pierced everyone. The thin sword was as flexible as a silver snake. It pierced the faces of the two men in an instant. If they had dodged even more slowly, the eyes of the two rough men would have been destroyed.
The man who was lucky enough to escape drew his knife and shouted: "This bitch is so insidious, and she is also a practicing master. Is the youngest okay?"
The two injured people responded simply. One of them wiped the blood and said ferociously: "I'm not ruthless and I don't like it yet!"
After saying that, he slashed away with the knife. The woman's arm was numb even after receiving the knife. Seeing the situation, she had to dodge dexterously to avoid its sharp edge. The man was rough-minded and impatient, and he became more and more irritated when he saw that he repeatedly missed the sword. The woman took the opportunity to hold up the sword. Barbed the arm holding the knife, the rough man dropped the big knife in his hand, and the woman kicked him in the jaw.
The man reacted quickly and quickly blocked with his hands, thus avoiding the tragic dislocation of his jaw.
The other two saw that his arm was scratched and his weapon had fallen, so they didn't care about bullying him. They worked together to surround him, and the woman was immediately passive and struggling.
The flash of swords and shadows are filled with murderous intent, and the clashes attract the passing crowd to watch from afar.
One of them was a thick-set man with a thick skin and a black beard on his face, which made him look even darker.
There is a thirty-eight-inch long sword on his waist. The scabbard is inlaid with jade and treasures, and a red sword hob hangs from the tail of the sword.
The sword looked out of place against his skin color, and others misunderstood that this rough man had stolen the beloved sword of some handsome hero.
"call!"
Under the siege of three people, the woman's veil was cut off by a large knife close to her skin while she was twisting and dodging. The bright blade cut through the snow-like skin.
The three men were stunned for a few breaths, and when they came to their senses, there was indescribable joy in their eyes.
The man named Lao Kui wiped his chest to comfort himself: "My dear, almost, almost, if such a beauty loses her appearance, she will be struck by lightning and die!"
The veil fell, and the rough hemp man with the sword hanging from his waist immediately recognized the emerald figure, and hurriedly shouted: "Sister of the Bi family, is Taoist Zhao nearby?"
Seeing that the other party was in danger, he stopped being a spectator and rushed into the group of four people. Others only saw a gray afterimage entering the battle.
The next moment, the three sword-wielding men stood still like wooden stakes.
He asked again: "Sister Bi family, is Taoist Zhao nearby?"
The woman in the emerald green horse-faced skirt was shocked on the spot because she didn't even see the charcoal man's acupuncture technique.
Seeing the other party calling out her and Zhao Zhengli's identities, she asked cautiously: "Who are you?"
The black man showed a silly smile and touched his beard: "Jiange disciples, Mu Dongfang, years ago you passed through Jianmen Pass. I made an appointment with Taoist Zhao to wait for my master to come out of the pass and come to the capital to compete with him. We won't know until we leave the Jianghu. The changes have been huge. It was only when I entered the capital that I heard that Daoist Zhao was now charged with being the son of a rebellious minister. For us Jianghu people, no matter what his identity is, it will not affect our discussions, so we followed the rumors all the way to find him."
He took a breath and continued: "Unexpectedly, Daozhang Zhao has become famous. The whole world is talking about him. Recently, I heard that his senior fellow Qingcheng No. 2 Daoist is with us. I guess I won't be able to fight with him, so I might as well get acquainted with him first." Get acquainted.”
The woman had already remembered his identity since he signed himself up. One thing she was sure of was that this guy was looking for bad Taoist priests just like her, and his strength was terrifying. After thinking about this, she also reported her name and said: "Biyu has met Mu." Young Master, to be honest with you, Biyu has also been looking for the Taoist Priest."
Mu Dongfang clapped his hands and shouted: "Very good, we just happen to be traveling together!"
Birou smiled politely: "I'll deal with some personal matters first!"
"Puff~"
After she finished speaking, she saw the thin sword in her hand stabbing the three men who had their acupuncture points blinded with lightning speed.
"you……"
Xiao Shi, a rough man, and Mu Dongfang were all shocked, looking at the bloody holes of the three people and six eyeballs with fear in their hearts.
Biyu said coldly: "If you keep your eyes on them, they will only do evil. I'm just helping the women in this world."
After saying that, he threw away the silk cloth used to clean the rapier in disgust.
Such actions made Mu Dongfang realize the truth of "no matter how beautiful a person is, how terrifying they are."
.
On the shore of the East China Sea in Dengzhou, a huge ship came from the rolling waves. It was more than tens of feet long, and the sea deck was about several feet high. The five huge canvases alone were more than ten feet high. From a distance, it looked like it was floating. Land on the sea.
There were hundreds of onlookers on the shore. Among the first few were the heads of the Du family. He leaned slightly and introduced himself to a handsome young man in white robes.
That person is Yuan Chaoyang, the second Taoist man in Qingcheng who has been hotly discussed in the world recently. Yang Guifen in a glazed blue dress stands quietly beside him, Zhao Zhengli, Yu Xiaowei and Li Zhanyi are on the other side.
Regardless of their recent reputation, the looks of these three beauties are particularly eye-catching.
The plump Li Zhanyi, the mature Yu Xiaowei, and Yang Guifen who has returned to youth within the confines of Yuan Chaoyang. In addition, she has experienced the washing of time, and her temperament is full of gentleness and elegance.
Fortunately, Zhao Zhengli and Yuan Chaoyang were equally extraordinary, so everyone who saw them thought they were well-deserved.
After experiencing the Dengzhou battle, many people were lucky enough to take advantage of the chaos to make millions of gold. The hereditary princes completely lost interest. They thought they could not recruit a larger-scale encirclement and suppression than four great masters and more than a thousand soldiers.
According to rumors, Zhao Zhengli, the rebellious son of the rebellious minister, was still benefiting from the melee and found an opportunity to reach the master level.
Although he was originally a middle-grade master, it was extremely difficult to recover after his Taoist heart was damaged after falling. Once he breaks through for the second time, the benefits will be doubled, or even several times.
No one envied him for his breakthrough after falling down. They only lamented that he was a blessing in disguise because no one dared to try boldly.
Except for those peak experts who have no hope of finding the threshold of heaven and humanity, they may abandon part of their Taoism and rebuild after some consideration.
Even so, in the eyes of others, it is also the behavior of a madman.
Because practicing is not easy.
Unless you are a geek with invincible self-confidence and a rock-solid belief in yourself.
Zhao Zhengli is undoubtedly one of them, which further confirms the rumors of the reincarnation of the Qingcheng Mountain Celestial Being.
Otherwise, how could Qingcheng Mountain dare to rescue him despite the imperial decree?
This wind finally blew into the court, and with the added fuel and jealousy of the Manchu civil servants, Qingchengshan was pushed into the position of "the backer of the rebellious son of a rebellious official" and "a rebellious member of the lawless party."
He was even implicated as a "remnant accomplice of the previous dynasty".
There was no other reason. It was because Zhao Zhengli first entered the capital and was personally invited by Ji Yanyu, the first oiran of Miaoyin Pavilion in Beijing, to stay in the pavilion for one night.
The old emperor Long Yan was furious and wrote on the spot to condemn the entire Qingcheng Mountain sect.
Cao Yan, who had been waiting quietly, whispered in his ear: "Your Majesty, think twice. The situation in Shu has just been stabilized, and Qingcheng Mountain is needed to lead the world of Shu. This punishment may play into the plans of Liu Shounian and his son, and he may be plotting with someone with ulterior motives in the court."
The old emperor glanced sideways and said, "What do you think?"
The old eunuch Cao Yan bent his waist and head to the extreme, looking extremely humble, and said softly: "Qingcheng Mountain is protecting Zhao Zhengli. If your majesty is generous and kind and rewards him, it will naturally be solved."
The old emperor said angrily: "Isn't this a slap in the face?"
Cao Yan put his knees to the ground and said: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty might as well issue a secret edict. In this way, he will not be pardoned as the son of a rebellious minister, nor will he be rewarded by the world. He will be given an official position in a remote border defense. This has two purposes. One is , no one in the world can guess His Majesty, and the imperial power is becoming more and more consolidated. Secondly, the Jianghu people who are greedy for millions of gold and hereditary princes have followed to the border, which can serve as a deterrent to the Khitan and Tubo countries. By the way, it can also use Qingcheng Mountain Fortify the border.”
The old emperor fell into deep thought and sighed after a long time: "Okay, this is the best explanation for Zhao Tianshi. If someone really cuts off his head and receives the reward and title, it will be difficult for me to face him."
Then he looked at Cao Yan who wanted to touch the ground and said: "Draw up the decree!"
The old eunuch who was close to the ground showed a meaningful smile, and then quickly restrained: "Accept the order!"
