Shen Li stared blankly at the direction in which the middle-aged Confucian scholar was leaving. He had never thought before that the Confucian atmosphere could be so simple.
"Mr. Qiao." He murmured to himself. He and Qiao Baisu, a second-grade Siming realm scholar, had only met once on the battlefield outside Kaixi City. Mr. Qiao gave him the impression of a sword who had read poetry and books. Although it is not sharp, it can convince people with its virtue.
The three religions all have methods for using swords, the Confucian Gentleman Sword, the Taoist Dharma Sword, the Heavenly Sword, the Love Sword, etc., the Buddhist Sword of Wisdom and the Sword of the Heart...
Only Junzi Sword puts the most effort into self-cultivation, but its fire and level are not even close to good.
The reason why people in the world say that most Confucian practitioners of the gentleman's sword are hypocrites is nothing more than a lack of cultivation. This kind of gentleman's sword is like a fancy fist and an embroidered leg. When you encounter a more powerful martial artist or swordsman, or even others of the same lineage, you will fall. Failure, even death.
The fresh fish stewer quickly cleaned the table with his hands. Shen Li sighed, looked at Song Wanru who was still excited and said, "Sister Song, let's go check out."
Next, we have to face the Lanhua sisters from Tianyi Sect’s outer courtyard.
Song Wanru took a deep breath and whispered: "The only thing missing is Taoism's great luck."
"Yes, but you have to prepare for the worst."
Shen Li asked: "If you don't give me the "Sun Soul Moon Flower Sword Sutra", give me a piece of Taoist luck, and I am willing to let Taoism preach to Southern Wu."
Song Wanru said softly: "The sect also wants the Sun Soul Moon Sword Sutra."
"ah?"
"Master Qin is a Great Sword Immortal. Although he is half a step away from the first-grade celestial phenomena, he cannot cross it no matter what. She thought of referring to the "Sun Soul and Moon Flower Sword Sutra" in the hope of drawing parallels."
Tianyizong's "Sun Soul Moonlight Sword Sutra" is not the source of swordsmanship, but it is very close to the source. There are very few swordsmanships in the world that can cut luck. Since there is a chance to get such a sword sutra, Qin Xianqing also wants to Take it for a look.
"I see."
Song Wanru gathered her expression and followed Shen Li to the counter.
The proprietress Lan Hua whispered something to Lan Pet, and when she faced the two of them, her expression was a little strange.
"Have you eaten, sir?"
"After you've eaten, come and pay." Shen Li smiled.
"Hey, who is this beautiful lady?"
"Taoist companion."
"What a pair of beauties."
Lanhua took the silver coin handed over by Shen Li and glanced outside the door. Yesterday, Zhu Yu, a member of the Tongquetai family, came in a hurry on a tall horse. He was so angry that he turned over and dismounted, putting his hand on the handle of the knife at his waist. It seems that he will kill someone if he disagrees with him.
"You asked someone to remove me from my position?" Zhu Yu asked angrily when he saw Shen Li.
Shen Li turned around to face Zhu Yu, who was looking angry, and asked, "Brother Zhu made a bet with me yesterday just to prove to Zhu Yu that what happened today happened."
"Okay, okay, your name is Shen Li, right? Just wait for me!" Zhu Yu pulled out the knife, and the tip of the knife was only one finger away from Shen Li's nose.
Song Wanru was about to speak, but Shen Li blocked her behind: "Brother Zhu is not convinced?"
"Oh, why are you not convinced? Since you have such power in the court, how dare I, a small household of a hundred, not be convinced?"
He still had tasks yesterday, but before noon today he received news that Qianhu Tang Yiqing had dismissed him from his official position.
There are more than a dozen thousand households in Tongquetai, and only a few people have the power to remove hundreds of households from their official positions. Tang Yiqing, who is known as the Qingye Luanying Sword in the world and can be called the best song in the world, is one of them.
Helpless, really helpless.
Tang Yiqing is extremely close to the second-grade Great Sword Immortal, and is one of the best swordsmen in Tongquetai. Even if a small family like Zhu Yu is full of grievances, the sky will not respond and the earth will not respond.
After thinking about it, he remembered that the two of them had said they would meet for fish stew yesterday. Zhu Yu originally thought it was just harsh words to each other, but he didn't expect Shen Li to take it seriously, so he rushed over quickly.
"Brother Zhu, do you have time now?"
"how?"
"If I have time, I would like to have a chat with Brother Zhu." Shen Li said seriously.
Zhu Yu didn't believe it: "What other tricks do you have?"
"Isn't this a trick? What's good for you and me is good for everyone."
"Okay, I'll listen to what you have to say to me." Zhu Yu snorted coldly.
Shen Li whispered to Song Wanru: "Sister Song, I have a few words with Brother Zhu, do you want to wait for me?"
"Go ahead, I'll wait for you."
"Um."
When he invited Zhu Yu to the forest opposite the fresh fish stew, Lan Hua said: "I didn't expect you two to be Taoists."
"We've known each other for many years."
"If my prediction is correct, he is the one born with the Vajra Dragon Elephant Body from Qianzang Wanzang of your Xingxiu Sect?"
Now there is no need to continue hiding it.
"Exactly."
"We sisters have some skills in identifying people. In our opinion, he is not the famous Vajra Dragon Elephant Body in the world."
Song Wanru said: "Ordinary people only know a few things, but don't know the details."
"What's the details? Can Sister Song tell us sisters?"
"Of course I can. Have you heard of the Eight Heavenly Dragons?" she asked.
Both Lan Hua and Lan Petal's eyes were shocked: "I have heard that the Vajra Dragon Elephant Body of your Xingxiu Sect has sealed the Eight Heavenly Dragons, and Zhao Ruyu wants to integrate the Eight Heavenly Dragons into the national destiny of Southern Wu."
Song Wanru smiled and said: "Sealing the eight heavenly dragons is the first step, and Mr. Zhao's use of dragon luck to gather the national destiny is the second step..."
At the critical moment, she shut up and stared at the blue flowers and blue petals.
"What about the third step? I thought you wanted to use some treasure to trade with us, but I didn't expect it to be the national destiny of Southern Wu." Lanhua guessed.
"No, there was no third step. Even he didn't know about it before." Song Wanru now knows that the deal is almost certain. The anxiety shown in Lanhua's words means that she only thinks about the national destiny of Nanwu. Shallow stuff.
"The third step is that he has the ability to speak the constitution of heaven and speak golden words, which is limited to Southern Wu."
Both Lan Hua and Lan Petal were shocked, "You are talking about Tianxian and golden words? Are you kidding me?"
"That's the truth. There's no need to make such a joke as there are ways to verify it."
Just as Lan Hua was about to ask again, Lan Petal reminded her quietly: "Sister, be careful that the walls have ears."
"Miss Song, let's go to the room to talk." Lan Hua was impatient.
She knew what this meant.
It can completely affect the situation of the world.
Not to mention the "Sun Soul and Moon Flower Sword Sutra", Shen Li was qualified to be the honorary sect leader of the same day.
Who cares about this little bit of luck? In the future, Taoist luck will rise steadily, like the vast ocean.
The more critical the moment, the more important it is to show the ability to remain unchanged despite the collapse of the mountain. Song Wanru smiled and said: "He wants me to wait for him to come back."
"..."
Seeing that Lan Hua was worried, Lan Petal took the initiative and said, "Sister, don't worry. Miss Song has come in person. She must be sincere. It doesn't make any difference whether it's earlier or later."
Shen Li pulled Zhu Yu to the forest, "Brother Zhu is angry?"
This is pure nonsense. He was doing his job well, but Shen Li was taken down from the official position of a hundred households. No matter how good-tempered he was, he would get angry.
"Speak frankly, I don't have time."
"Okay, Tang Qianhu told me something, and I need Brother Zhu's help to complete it. If you take the name of Tongquetai Hundred Households, I'm worried that it will be detrimental to the safety of Brother Zhu and his family."
Zhu Yu sneered: "You have to find me?"
Shen Li looked quite helpless: "Brother Zhu is the first Tongquetai master I saw after coming to Luojing City."
At this time, Zhu Yu couldn't bear it anymore and drew his sword out of its sheath again, as if he was about to chop Shen Li down, "You bully me for being an honest person!"
"Brother Zhu, calm down, calm down, and talk to me if you have anything to say." Shen Li returned the knife to the scabbard with a playful smile, "I know that Brother Zhu led people to find Zhu Sui, and there are many connections behind it, but Brother Zhu doesn't want to think about whether he was Are people taking advantage of it? The Zhu family is one of the few aristocratic families in Luojing City. Whenever such a family falls, it must be deeply involved. If Brother Zhu gets involved too deeply, the consequences will be disastrous!"
Zhu Yu thought about it carefully and thought that what Shen Li said made sense.
I don't know how many people in the city are watching the Zhu family. If they lose all their power, their own life and death will be a small matter, and it will involve the children of the family, and it will be too late to regret.
"You go on."
"Okay, in my opinion, those people took advantage of the Luotian Festival to eradicate the Zhu family." Shen Li said half truthfully.
Zhu Yu frowned: "I know that the Luotian Festival will be held in a few days. What does the Zhu family have to do with this?"
"Brother Zhu, you really don't know?"
"I really don't know."
Shen Li explained: "Okay, in that case, I will reveal something to Brother Zhu. I am a member of the Xingxiu Sect. Brother Zhu knows it well, but Brother Zhu doesn't know why I came to Luojing City."
"Yes, why?"
"Your Majesty ordered us to eradicate the thieves in the city!"
Zhu Yu's expression changed dramatically: "That's nonsense! Luojing City is protected by the Bronze Bird Tower, so there is no need for your Xingxiu Sect. Besides, there are also first-class warriors in the city, so how can Xiaoxiao dare to cause trouble?"
"Brother Zhu, ask yourself, if the clan members cause trouble, will the first-grade martial artist who is in charge of Luo Jing City take action?"
Zhu Yu fell silent.
Yes, to bring order to the clan, the first-grade grandmaster who is deeply involved with the clan will probably not take action. The best way is to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers and help whoever wins in the end.
"What do you want me to do?" Zhu Yu figured out the connection.
It is indeed difficult for Tongquetai to take action on this matter. If the clan succeeds, won't the people of Tongquetai become rebels?
Shen Lixiao asked: "Brother Zhu, don't you want any conditions?"
"Hmph, I heard that Xingxiu Sect has always been generous." Zhu Yu said.
"Okay, Brother Zhu, please speak quickly. Let me make it clear. I want Brother Zhu to stop paying attention to the Zhu family and focus on the Luotian Dajiao. If Brother Zhu joins our Xingxiu Sect, that would be great. You Look, thousands of households in Tang Dynasty have become members of the Xingxiu Sect, how long will Brother Zhu stay?"
After some sweet talk.
Zhu Yu gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! I will return to Tongquetai after that, and I will be promoted!"
"I agreed on behalf of Tang Qianhu and the Xingxiu Sect." Shen Li smiled broadly, "Although I don't allow Brother Zhu to continue to have any relationship with the Zhu family, I hope that Brother Zhu can help save someone from the Zhu family. She is considered a friend of mine, and I really don't want him to." Hope to see her live worse than dead.”
"who?"
"The legitimate daughter of the Zhu family, Zhu Hongni."
"She, it's very easy. After Zhu Hongni returned home from a long trip, she was ostracized by the children in the family. Now she is arranging a marriage for her. When the Zhu family collapsed, I took advantage of the chaos to rescue her."
Zhu Yu looked at Shen Li strangely: "Why didn't you save her?"
"Oh, it's just that we are destined to be together, so we don't have to cut things off and end up in chaos."
"Oh, it seems that there is a marriage between you. By the way, what does it mean to join the Xingxiu Sect?"
Shen Li smiled and said: "Brother Zhu is confused, just go find Tang Qianhu. I am outside the city and have some unfinished business. It is not easy to take Brother Zhu to find the Xingxiu Sect's stronghold in Luojing City."
"Take care of yourself."
Zhu Yu clasped his fists, mounted his tall horse, and galloped towards Luojing City.
I was angry when I came, and I was cheerful when I left.
Watching Zhu Yu's figure disappear on the road and return to the fish stew, Shen Li noticed that the eyes of sisters Lan Hua and Lan Petal were excited, staring at him as if they were looking at a unique treasure.
