Master, he raised other apprentices

Wang Changshi opened his mouth to speak, but Li Shangshu didn't give him a chance to speak, and followed him closely: "Nowadays, every city is guarded by immortal masters, so there is nothing to worry about. Since City Lord Jiang is a city's parents, It was supposed to appease the hearts of the people and encourage them to live, but now they ignore their job of appeasing the people, but they try their best to create some "sharp weapon" to kill demons, even the treasury is exhausted, and even the money for the relief of the people and the repair of the city wall have to be begged from the court -"

Li Shangshu sneered: "Wang Changshi, I'm afraid I want to remind you that although Jiangcheng is a fief of Jiang Yun, Jiangcheng is still a subject of Ying Kingdom under Jiangcheng's rule. If the Lord of Jiangcheng insists on going his own way, causing complaints and people's livelihood, it is impossible to say that His Majesty will be furious for a while. , who will be the master of Jiang Cheng in the future is unknown."

Wang Changshi's complexion changed slightly upon hearing this.He was silent for a while, and then sighed: "Since Li Shangshu is unwilling to allocate money and food, I have no choice but to do so." Then he got up and left.

Li Shangshu also stood up to send them off, and said: "City Master Jiang is a girl after all, so it's not surprising that she is not good at government affairs, but she is a parent of a city, and she controls the lives and deaths of tens of thousands of people under her hands, so there is no room for mistakes. Since she is a long history, if she sees her doing something wrong, she should be responsible for admonishing her." He patted Wang Changshi on the shoulder, meaningfully, "Jiang City Lord is not good at government affairs, and Wang Changshi has a big body. If you are talented, you should take the initiative to share your worries, so as not to disappoint the court's painstaking cultivation."

Wang Changshi's eyes flickered slightly, and after a while, he said: "The point made by Li Shangshu, I will keep it in my heart."

Li Shangshu smiled slightly and sent him away.

When Qi Guan returned to Jingfan Courtyard, Ji Yu seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

Qi Guan looked at the table of dishes in front of him, opened his eyes slightly, and could clearly see the astonishment on his face.Seeing this, Ji Yu couldn't help laughing, "Master and uncle laughed at such a small skill."

Just as Qi Guan picked up the chopsticks, he raised his head again when he heard the words, a little puzzled: "Isn't it Shishu?" He didn't care about the address, but he heard people calling him "Shishu" a lot, and this was the first time he heard someone call him "Shishu". Uncle", quite a novelty.

Ji Yu lowered his eyes and smiled: "Lingxi Mountain's junior, it's already high-ranking to call 'Master Uncle Zu', and dare not discuss friendship with the teachers and elders of other factions."

Qi Guan gave her a strange look, but didn't go into it further, picked up the chopsticks and started to eat.He himself eats deliciously, and he doesn't forget to feed meat and bones to Yun He, but Ji Yu doesn't move his chopsticks very much, and most of the time he just smiles and looks at the person and He who are sitting opposite each other, behaving intimately and naturally.

After a meal, Ji Yu bid farewell to Qi Guan.

Qi Guan looked at her and asked, "Are you leaving?"

Ji Yu nodded and said: "Your junior has finished his guarding period. When he turned around the mountain gate, he passed by the capital. He heard that the capital is prosperous, so he stopped for a while. Now that he has seen the prosperity of the capital, he should go back. After parting, I don't know when I can meet my master and uncle again, the younger generation is so shy and has nothing else around, so I had to set up a table of wine and food to express my heart."

Qi Guan looked at her and didn't speak.

Ji Yu looked at him with a soft expression.Although this master-uncle is of high seniority, he is immature and ignorant. He looks like his own cute and mischievous younger brother. He really can't feel awe, but can't help caring.She asked: "What is the master's uncle's plan? Do you want to continue to practice in the capital?"

When Qi Guan asked her, he was also a little dazed.After a while, he suddenly remembered something and asked, "Do you know how to subdue a demon?"

Hearing these words, the cloud beetle in his arms suddenly moved, his fat and short body twisted, and his head was raised accordingly, as if to take a look at his face.Qi Guan noticed Yun Fei's movement, looked down, picked it up and hung it around his neck.

Yun Fei touched the warm skin on the side of his neck, and rubbed her head unconsciously.

Ji Yu didn't know why he suddenly asked about the subjugation of demons. After thinking about it, he told him from the beginning: "The demons are born with horizontal bones, their seven orifices are chaotic, and they don't know how to restrain their desires and cultivate their minds. , most of the monster races are beasts who have opened up a little spiritual wisdom in the chaos, and they are born greedy for flesh and blood, while the human race, Zhong Tiandi, has always been the favorite blood food of monsters, so from ancient times to the present, monsters have never suffered subsided."

"Cultivators come from mortals, so naturally they can't just watch the world being plagued by monsters. That's why there is the Monster Suppressing League, which teaches the disciples of various sects to divide cities and towns to keep the people in one place safe."

"In the beginning, there was no such thing as 'killing demons' or 'subduing demons'. The monster race cannibalize people, and their methods are bloody and cruel. Therefore, for the monster race that is causing trouble in the world, all monks kill it quickly. But gradually, some The monk believed that life is precious in the immortal way, and since the monster race can open up a little spiritual wisdom, they can seek the way, and they should not kill them all, so they painstakingly studied a formula to subdue the monster, which melts away the bones of the monster race, making their seven orifices clear, Know how to abstain from desires and cultivate your mind, and know how to approach the Dao."

"As a result, 'killing demons' and 'subduing demons' gradually divided into two schools. One school advocates eradicating evil and doing everything possible, and the demon race must not be given the opportunity to cause harm to the world; Towards the Great Way. Up to now, some people think that even if a monster is harmful to people’s heart, as long as it has never done harm to people, then it can melt away its bones and lead it to the Great Way; If you have eaten people before, then you will use thunder to kill them."

When Ji Yu spoke eloquently, Qi Guan frowned, trying to understand what she said.Ji Yu waited quietly at the side without urging.

After a while, Qi Guan asked curiously: "What is the method of subduing demons like?"

Ji Yu said: "This is not common sense, each sect has its own method, it's just the difference between subtle and rough." She said, and learned the formula of subduing demons in Lingxi Mountain.

Qi Guan has always been enlightened, after learning it this time, he will remember it.

Ji Yu asked again: "Master uncle is still in the capital to subdue demons?"

Qi Guan thought for a while, then shook his head: "I want to ask Master."

Ji Yu was slightly surprised when he heard the words, and couldn't help asking: "Senior Jianjun, is he coming to the capital?" Although she is not a sword cultivator, Yuanlu Jianjun's demeanor has always been admired by monks, and he suddenly thought that Jianjun might come to the capital. Even if she had already made up her mind to leave, she couldn't help thinking about whether she would be lucky enough to meet the legendary Sword Lord if she stayed for a few more days.

Qi Guan shook his head, "Master is not coming." But he refused to elaborate.

Ji Yu was a little disappointed when he saw this, but he thought it was true, Yuanlu Jianjun is about to break through the Mahayana now, and he must practice in the sect, how could he show up in the capital for no reason? Qi Guan said that it was because of their teacher There is only a quick way to connect.

So, she didn't inquire any more, instead she took out a jade silkworm and handed it to Qi Guan, saying: "Your junior will leave the capital tomorrow, this jade silkworm can be used as a substitute for spiritual messages, you only need to pour spiritual knowledge into the jade silkworm." Among the silkworms, it will be able to find me and pass on the message. If Master Uncle has orders in the future, you might as well use it to find me."
