I don’t know who wrote the limerick on the cliff of Dengzhou: “Look at the overall situation of the chess game, and the chess pieces are all mysterious.”
A huge ship docked at the dock with its sails furled on the coast of the East China Sea. The sea breeze roared, and the friction between the hull and the ferry made a tooth-breaking "squeaking" sound.
The huge ship is swaying and waiting for the east wind to raise its sails.
This place is not only the entrance for monks to visit Xianlu, but also a ferry for military and civilian trade, and the starting point for fishing for seafood. The people coming and going in the four seasons are like weaving clouds, and it is extremely lively.
Originally, the coastal land was extremely barren, but due to the "prestige of visiting immortals", the coast of the East China Sea is much more prosperous than other coastal areas.
Ordinary people do business and sell food here, while monks build humble houses and elegant houses to absorb the aura of the east.
Then it became a place where "immortal" and "mundane" blended together.
It is said that there are thousands of islands outside the vast East China Sea. Finding the legendary "Three Immortal Islands in the East China Sea" depends on good luck. The remaining islands are all bitter and cold places.
One of the islands was considered to be vast and fertile. It was occupied by Li Zhongxiao, a survivor of the late Tang Dynasty, and took in tens of thousands of the survivors of the late Tang Dynasty, with the intention of restoring the country.
Over the past few years, it has been continuously transformed and consolidated during the successive sieges of the New Dynasty. After years of improvement, it has formed a completely self-sufficient isolated city on the sea.
There are several reasons why Donghai City can survive and grow stronger. One is that the exhausted ministers of the Later Tang Dynasty had no choice but to retreat and became a rope. The other is that the vast sea restrained the Qing Kingdom's crusade.
In recent years, after Donghai City has been stabilized, it has attracted talents from all walks of life, making the city on the island more stable. The most common among them are monks who go to sea to visit immortals. Donghai City provides unique conditions. The monks live and guard the city, and they are never allowed to come or stay. You have to do your part on the island, so it has become a place where monks visiting immortals gather.
After the Miaoyin Pavilion in the capital was exposed, Princess Ji Yanyu of the Later Tang Dynasty was taken to the island by Li Zhongxiao, and long-term plans were made for the restoration of the country.
Zhao Zhengli and his party stayed temporarily in Linhai Yashe, far away from the hustle and bustle of the world. It is said that this Yashe was the residence of an expert who returned from visiting immortals in the east.
Zhao Zhengli didn't feel the luck of the Immortal Family. The seaside was humid and foggy, and it was inevitable that he would become ill with age, so he could "ascend to immortality" faster.
Yashe is not a paradise. It is just a moss-covered courtyard composed of three stone-walled and tiled houses. It is not much different from ordinary farmhouses in the Central Plains. The only way out is to look out at the sea.
The waves are rolling and the sky is dawning.
The first streak of white fish belly appeared at the end of the East China Sea. Zhao Zhengli stood on the cliff with his hands behind his hands and looked at it. His mood stretched with his vision and became extremely open.
The tide is rising, the waves are crashing on the shore, and the red sun is gradually appearing at the end of the sky.
Zhao Zhengli sat cross-legged for no reason, with a layer of water droplets clinging to his head in the misty morning fog.
At this moment, his mind was empty and empty, looking at the rising sun, absorbing it for a long time.
He watched quietly as the rising sun gradually became brighter and brighter, and the red sun slowly parted the clouds and dispersed the fog.
When the first ray of sunlight reflected on his face, he raised his palm slightly, and an invisible energy rose around him, like the rising sun that moved away the clouds and cleared the fog.
At this moment, nothing can invade the space.
There was a crisp "click" in his mind, as if a door or window that had been dusty for a long time was opened.
That was when he realized the Tao that was closer to the origin.
"Buzz!"
The true energy swarmed, gathered with Zhao Zhengli as the center, and condensed into a funnel vortex.
Sitting quietly in plain clothes, the true energy is swallowed up like an endless abyss, pouring into the body along the acupuncture points on the body, and the incoming true energy forms small whirlpools outside the body.
That acupoint is exactly the 365 acupoint opened by Zhao Zhengli in the Wulu Temple.
He could clearly feel the overflowing of his Dantian, the lightness of his body, and the long-lost familiar feeling returned again, even better than before.
His state of mind and strength reached a new level, as if everything in the world was under control.
Yuan Chaoyang was shocked out of the Yashe for the first time. He looked at the sea of mist above his head and was speechless: "Is the formation of the middle-level Grandmaster so big?"
Yu Xiaowei and Li Zhanyi also came out after hearing the commotion, looking at the awe-inspiring aura in the sky and asking: "If you break through two realms in a short period of time, will your foundation be unstable?"
Yuan Chaoyang laughed: "He was originally the peak of the middle-level master, but now he just fell down and rebuilt. On the contrary, the foundation will be stronger."
Then the white-robed young man frowned and wondered: "It's just that others are struggling to rebuild after falling into trouble, and it's difficult to make progress. How can he do it as naturally as drinking cold water?"
Several long rainbows suddenly appeared in Dengzhou, heading towards the coast of the East China Sea, and there were figures on the land following them.
Yuan Chaoyang shook his big sleeves, stepped into the air with his hands behind his back, and stepped up in the void like climbing steps.
When he reached a certain height, he stood quietly in mid-air and looked at the rainbows coming from all directions. His white robes were swaying in the morning light, and he looked like a fairy.
At the same time, a small boat sailed towards the end of the vast East China Sea, with only two people on board.
A fisherman wearing a coir raincoat and a bamboo hat rocking an oar, a beautiful woman in a white dress, with charming facial features, jade-white skin, and a concave and convex figure perfectly displayed in the sea breeze.
The woman in a white dress stands on the bow of the boat and looks towards the land. The fisherman gently shakes the oar. The lone boat is crossing in the rough waves. The waves are not ups and downs and the sea water is difficult to get wet.
The lone boat moved very fast, like a black owl crossing the sea under the early sunshine.
Such a strange sight on the sea made many monks stunned, and ordinary people even bowed and worshiped like an immortal from the East China Sea.
The air disappeared all over the place, and Zhao Zhengli opened his eyes just in time to see a lone boat approaching at full speed on the sea.
With his current field of vision, he could be as close as he was a hundred feet away. He could know the details of the boat at a glance.
Xiao Xiao, a woman in a white dress standing on a lonely boat in the big waves, noticed something and smiled in the direction of Zhao Zhengli. In an instant, she bloomed like a hundred flowers.
Zhao Zhengli frowned, because the charming woman in the white dress was none other than Ji Yanyu, the oiran of Miaoyin Pavilion, one of the four beauties in the capital and third on the beauty list. To be more precise, she was Li Yu, the former princess of the Tang Dynasty.
Zhao Zhengli looked at his senior brother Yuan Chaoyang again. He was wary of the three people who were also hovering in the void.
There is no doubt that they are all above the Grand Master realm.
There are dozens of people below, the most advanced one is the top Grandmaster. They look up at Void with envy and awe. Only by taking that step can they dare to have the spirit of Void that says, "I am the most respected among heavenly beings."
The "step" you take is your own "Tao", and it is connected with the Tao of heaven and earth. Only in this way can you ride the rainbow, break through the sky, and roam freely between heaven and earth.
"Meeting each other means we are destined to meet each other. All of you, Masters from Qingcheng, have come all the way. The Ge family has prepared some wine. Can you, Masters, please talk to us?"
"My Peng family found a shark bead in the East China Sea years ago. It is said that the sharks live outside the South China Sea. It is very rare to see it in the East China Sea, so I have not done anything rashly. Today I would like to ask you to take a look at it."
"My Sun family is also lucky enough to get a piece of spiritual grass that is tainted with fairy energy. I hope all the real people will come to my house to take a look."
The three people across from Yuan Chaoyang each gave them the courtesy of being juniors. In fact, the three of them were already over 100 years old, and the old man named Sun was more than 145 years old. This demotion of his status was nothing more than a ray of goodwill for the family. edge.
Yuan Chaoyang was ready for a fight, but the other party drove Changhong to invite him to be a guest, and he didn't know how to respond.
Both the monks and ordinary people below expressed envy, because the three families of Ge, Peng, and Sun were top-notch in the world of Dengzhou. What an honor it was to be invited by the ancestors of the three families.
What is surprising is that Yuan Chaoyang declined each one of them. In his opinion, the three families were just forming a good relationship and becoming familiar with each other.
His purpose of going to the East China Sea this time is clearer than anyone else, and he doesn't want to cause any problems with karma.
After rejecting the three offers, he turned his attention to the lone boat standing in the stormy waves. To be precise, it was the old man holding the oar in the lone boat.
The old man in coir raincoat was the first to speak: "Old man, I don't have any ill intentions, and I'm not a lobbyist. I just took her across the sea to see half of her old friends at the princess's command."
Yuan Chaoyang said nothing and glanced at the extremely beautiful woman in the white dress and his junior brother in a plain shirt.
It's considered acquiescing, but it's also considered not interfering.
The younger generation may not have a special impression of Yang Sili, and the older ones may not recognize him, but when it comes to the name "Zhuge Zhuge of the Tang Dynasty", it must be familiar to his ears.
Yang Sili, a political strategist who stirred up the ten kingdoms, was a great man in both civil and military affairs. It was a pity that he was allowed to have all kinds of abilities, and when he met a young master who was better than "Adou", he lost everything.
In the end, the situation was over and he went east to visit the immortals. There was no news again. Some people said that he ascended and became an immortal and left, while others said that he went to live in seclusion on an immortal island.
Unexpectedly, he was in Donghai City, which was undoubtedly the worst news for Qingguo.
Because his existence is more terrifying than an East China Sea city, it's no wonder why many sea campaigns have failed, and the isolated city has become stronger.
Ling Ling Zongzong must have come from the plan of Yang Sili, his successor to Tang Dynasty Zhuge.
The white skirt on the solitary boat soared into the sky, jumped dozens of feet up the cliff facing the sea, and landed steadily not far from Zhao Zhengli. The white skirt swayed, and she looked at the young man in plain clothes from a distance with a charming figure.
Old man Yang Si and Li were very wise and waited in the boat in the waves.
The arrival of the uninvited guests in Donghai City quickly reached the ears of Dengzhou bureaucrats.
A team of 300 elite light armors, usually used to defend against Japanese pirates, stood guard, all staring at the old man fiercely. Their long crossbows were drawn to perfection, ready to shoot the old man into a sieve as soon as the old man in coir raincoat came ashore.
Of course, in the eyes of the Grand Master, the additional three hundred elite people are all paper tigers, but one more thing is worse than one less thing.
On the other side, an imperial edict coming from the capital day and night has entered Dengzhou and reached Wendeng City.
Wendeng County belongs to Shang County among the three grades of upper, middle and lower. The imperial court compiled more than 30 officials, big and small, and 100 minor officials outside. It also stationed three elite border troops to defend against the dwarf Japanese pirates and pirates outside the East China Sea. Waiting for foreigners.
County magistrate Zhou Mo and Qingzhou governor Xu Liang were old acquaintances, and Xu Liang was the father of Qin Fengjun commander Xu Chen.
Li Zhen, the iron-hoofed and halberd general who was also the "Six Lions of Zhenbei", would certainly buy some face. At least the Wendeng County border troops were very cooperative, so Zhou Mo was very popular in Dengzhou official circles.
It is said that there is a Wenshan Mountain less than 100 meters high in Wendeng City. When the First Emperor unified the world, he visited the east several times and climbed the mountain. He gathered civil servants on the mountain to discuss their merits and praises, so it was called "Wenshan Mountain".
The place that was visited several times by the First Emperor naturally became a place to receive imperial edicts in later generations.
Xu Liang, the official of Wendeng County, led a group of officials to receive the order at Wendeng Mountain, and then sent an honor guard to deliver the order to the port on the East China Sea.
——
At that time, on the coast of the East China Sea, Zhao Zhengli stood side by side with the charming princess of the former Tang Dynasty on the sea cliff in front of everyone.
Others were watching the fun, but not far away Yu Xiaowei, who was gradually maturing and plump, pouted her little mouth with displeasure. She looked at the proud breasts of the woman in the white dress, then lowered her head and glanced at the mountains where she was half shorter, and sighed for no reason. tone.
After touching her waist, which was as plump and slender as that of the woman in the white dress, she finally felt more balanced.
Just seeing her plump and round butt lowered a bit.
Finally, she glanced at the face that looked like a charming fox demon, looking at the plain-shirted Zhao Zhengli with a smile. What was annoying was that the bad Taoist priest also showed the same happy smile. She was so angry that she stamped her little feet and muttered: "Fox!"
My heart felt like it was filled with ten years of vinegar, and I felt uneasy all over.
Li Zhanyi saw the clues and stepped forward with a graceful figure: "Miss Yu, how about we go inside and have some breakfast?"
Yu Xiaowei didn't shy away from it and confessed her displeasure. She glanced at the handsome man and fox girl and said, "I'm so angry. I want to see what they can talk about today!"
Li Zhanyi was so angry and wanted to laugh when he heard this, but he suppressed it.
Yang Guifen was an ordinary person and could not feel the majestic and powerful Qi earlier. When he woke up, he happened to see Yu Xiaowei who was full of anger. Then he looked around and understood a thing or two, and stepped forward to enlighten her with Li Zhanyi.
Zhao Zhengli had no idea that something bad was going on in the backyard. He just felt filled with emotion at the gathering of old friends. When he saw the face of this charming woman, the old events in the capital were still vivid in his mind.
After a long time, he said: "I wish you were safe!"
