Tai sui

There are layers of ripples in the calm lotus pond. The lotus flowers are white, and the lotus leaves are also white.There is no flower heart in the flower, no lotus seeds can be found, and there is no mud under the water, which is extremely clear.The dark red lotus root and long stems are clearly coiled under the water, compared with the snow-white flowers and leaves, it is even more shocking, like internal organs shining in broad daylight.

When the man in the lotus pond opened his eyes, the lotus flowers in the pond were curled up into flower buds.

The appearance of this "shameful" man is amazing - he not only has no hair, but also no eyebrows, a pair of willow eyes, slightly lower, almost in the middle of the face, and a red Zhang painted with cinnabar on his forehead Lips, so that people can't tell at a glance whether his head is placed upright or upside down.

The ripples in the lotus pond rolled all the way to the edge of the pond, and stopped abruptly under a pair of snow-white feet. The white-haired Elder Xuan Wu appeared out of thin air, the ripples dispersed as soon as they saw him, and the water waves stopped abruptly unnaturally.

Xuanxuan asked the person in the pool, "What did you see?"

The "shame flower" in the pool said: "It's a marriage, a funeral. The emperor's grandson marries a wife, the son-in-law loses a spouse, red and white are all happy events."

As he said that, this "Shameful Flower" brother turned around, pointed his almost symmetrical head at Elder Xuanwu, and asked, "Elder Xuanwu, do you think my head is straight today?"

Xuan Wu ignored it, the facial features painted on the mask were originally changing from time to time, but when facing this person in Chi Zhong, he kept his expressionless face strangely, suddenly it didn't seem so strange.

"Help me see the future situation in Tao County."

"Oh, I don't want to see, what's so interesting about the border land where the birds don't shit?" The shameless bald head in the pool parted the lotus, and swam towards Elder Xuan Wu by the pool like a water ghost, "Elder—— Master, do you think I put my head straight today?"

This movement made people see something wrong: this person has no legs.

His lower body grew together with those dark red lotus roots, and it was hard to say whether it was a monster blooming from the lotus, or the monster was covered with flowers.

"The matter is of great importance," Xuan Wu said with a straight face...with a straight mask, "Zhuoming, don't joke."

This crazy "freak" is actually the master of the east seat of the three mountains, the only direct disciple of the great elder Xuanwu, his name is Zhuo Ming, he has no surname.

There are many small hills in Sanyue, crowded with rich and powerful children who spend a lot of money.However, although these people are considered "inner sects" when they speak out, they have no part to speak in the inner sect.

Among the inner gates of the Three Mountains, only the three main peaks of the east, middle and west have the right to speak.

Among them, Xizuo Peak has the most people and is the busiest. There is an elder Cicada who sits in the town. There were originally sixteen people who ascended to the spirit... At present, there are only 11 people left. In the battle, he was seriously injured, his realm fell, and his cultivation base was abolished.Each of the eleven ascending spirits brought a group of disciples, including Zhuji, half-immortals and even mortals mixed with fish and dragons, but with pure blood—everyone in Xizuo Peak had the surname Xiang.

The middle seat is where the head of the Sanyue is located. The head is said to be the person who is closest to the full moon in the world today. He retreats month by month all the year round. The affairs of the middle seat are jointly managed by his four disciples.Zhongzuo's bloodline is impure, but the threshold is high, and he only accepts Foundation Establishment with excellent aptitude.To enter Zhongfeng, one has to go through multiple examinations. The more superior the aptitude, the wider the family background conditions--it is said that the legendary Huixiang Lord was under Zhongfeng's family when he was in Sanyue.

The east seat is the most special peak: the silver moon wheel is here.

The head of the sect doesn't care about things, the elder of the west seat is in charge of the Xiang family's children, his position is unavoidably biased, and the east seat Xuanwu has become the real power holder of Sanyue Mountain.

Different from the West Tower, which is full of people, the East Tower that guards Yinyue is an inner forbidden area, except for the head, no one is allowed to enter or leave at will.Elder Xuan Wu has only accepted Zhuo Ming as a disciple for thousands of years.

Zhuo Ming did not know where he picked it up. According to legend, it is Xiang's illegitimate son, but the birth mother is unknown. Before the opening of the spiritual orifice, the person was not a "barren land", but his limbs were paralyzed, and he was lying on the Lingshan Mountain.After 300 years in the east seat, no one has seen him again. Many old people have almost forgotten that there is such a person, and almost no one with junior qualifications has heard of him.

"What's the big deal? Is Tao County an important place for military strategists?" Zhuo Ming shot a pair of dark eyes from the water, "The population is not much, and the specialty is evil spirits. There was a map of Dongheng that lost the picture of that place in the past. , No one paid attention to it for 100 years, and it didn't delay you."

"The poor governance is due to the dereliction of duty of the Dongheng court, and Xuanmen doesn't care about common things." Xuanwu said in a deep voice, "Right now, Tao County is controlled by a broken law whose whereabouts are unknown, and it has become a place of 'Huawai'. Lingshan can't take care of it, and it's been a long time. There must be filth and filth, isn't it a lesson from the past that Nanwan has no trouble crossing the sea?"

"There are so many places that Lingshan can't take care of. Aren't there only two places on the east block? Ah... I see, the master thinks we are dirty, I told you to throw a few descaling sticks into the lotus pond." Fish." Zhuo Ming laughed, he laughed as if he had suffered from a stroke, he could not stop giggling, and he didn't know whether to cry or laugh or crow at the end.

Xuanwu popped a pill into the altar on his forehead as usual, a gust of fresh air instantly flooded the entire lotus pond, and Zhuo Ming's weird smile stopped abruptly.

He closed his eyes, and the lotus flower opened immediately, a string of coreless white lotus like a river lantern mourning the dead.

After a while, Zhuo Ming said in a calm voice: "There are noises behind the law-breaking and axioms. It seems that tens of thousands of people are talking at the same time. It's too noisy. I can't tell what the axioms are."

The facial features on Xuan Wu's mask twisted: "Then Yu is only a half-step ascension, and can cover your sight and hearing?"

Zhuo Ming's eyeballs moved under his eyelids, but he didn't make a sound.

Xuanwu asked again: "Where is the rest? Can you see his fate clearly?"

"Master can't find out, people have already crossed the Sea of ​​Sleeping Dragon, why ask me?" Zhuo Ming said, "His life is entangled with the fog brought by breaking the law, it is hard to say where it will end. "

"Is there a solution to Tao County's predicament at this time?"

"There are only two ways to get rid of the broken law. Either the law is broken, or the axiom is realized. When the world is like Tao County, when the Wuling Mountain, the monks, and the immortals are all gone, maybe the law-breaking internal and external axioms will be realized." Zhuo Ming said coldly, "Master, don't worry."

Xuan Wu: "What are you talking about!"

The corners of Zhuo Ming's upper and lower mouths turned up at the same time: "The heaven and the earth can't last long, so what's the point of the Lingshan Mountain? Nanwan Jiezhong rang several times, the silver moon shone on the Xiajiang River, and the late autumn red 800 years ago covered the Mid-Autumn Moon. Bloody, the magic weapon breaking the law and Wangchuan reappeared in the world, is it far from the fire in the outer furnace rekindling? Master, do you know that kind of malignant sore that will spread to the whole body once it ignites? Terminally ill, no Zhi, Tao County is the first sore."

Without saying a word, Xuan Wu turned around and was about to disappear in place.

"Master." Zhuo Ming suddenly stopped him, "I'm very bored, if there is a wedding or wedding event in the inner sect, can I join in the fun on behalf of Dongzuo?"

Xuanwu paused, and heard him mentioning "marriage" twice, he couldn't help but be a little concerned, his consciousness swept between the three main peaks, and saw that there was indeed a marriage recently - a mortal disciple in the west seat was going to marry Nanwan Zhao's family The eldest lady of the direct line.

For a mortal and a half-celestial being, eight hundred marriages are not enough to win the eyes of Elder Xuanwu, but the woman's background makes him feel a little concerned... The Zhao family in Nanwan came from Yujiawan. Try to meet face to face.

Xuan Wu asked: "What's wrong with Zhao's daughter?"

"It's very wrong, she..." Zhuo Ming let out a long sigh, "Kefu."

Xuanwu: "..."

Zhuo Ming seemed to want to laugh again, but his face seemed to be fixed by the elixir just now, his facial features kept trembling in place, but he just couldn't laugh.

Xuanwu no longer pays attention to his crazy words, and walks away out of sight and out of mind.

Zhuo Ming was trembling all over, and there was a "hoo hoo" sound in his throat, and the ripples in the pond started to shake again.

It took him a while to calm down, and he said to himself: "Master, Master, do you think my head is straight today?"

Xuan Wu had already left, and no one answered.

"Oh, you guessed wrong again." Zhuo Ming said, the drawn mouth on his forehead slowly opened, sticking out a tongue, and spit out the elixir that Xuan Wu had just thrown into his "spiritual platform" come out.Then his head slowly turned on the neck, turned upside down, the two mouths switched positions, and he stretched out his hand to break it, then pulled the nose off, and put it upside down.

"The bride is ominous, the bride is Kefu, the bride is covered in paper. There is something missing from the bride, and there is something more... Hee hee, the bride is running for the furnace." He said, opening his eyes suddenly. Opening his eyes, his eyes suddenly shot towards the sky like frost blades, as if they wanted to pierce the sky.

"Are you right, the rebellious Yanyunliu... reincarnated wood?"

Xu Rucheng, who was pretending to be Zhao Xidan, was startled suddenly, and somehow woke up from the trance, with palpitations like thunder.

At the same time, Xi Ping, who was repeatedly practicing the spell in the breaking method, was inspired, as if a basin of ice water was poured on his head, and he felt cold all over his body for no reason.

Xi Ping was alone in Pofa. On the night of the second day of September, after the master said the phrase "The mountain rain is about to come and the wind fills the building", his consciousness disappeared and there was no reply.Xi Ping didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing, and he was afraid that he wouldn't dare to disturb him at the critical moment of retreat, so he could only ask Lin Chi to help him pay attention to the movement of Feiqiong Peak at any time, wishing that Xu Rucheng could be stuffed into Sanyue Mountain immediately worship.

Xi Ping got rid of distracting thoughts and meditated intently, but the strange feeling came and went quickly, and he couldn't catch the source.He tried to do the divination for a while, scratching his head and reading the scriptures left by Zhi Xiu, but he couldn't figure out why... The "craftsmanship" of Si Ming's line is finished, weasels laying rats, one generation is not as good as the next.

"Senior," at this moment, Xu Rucheng called him through the Reincarnation Wood, "I suddenly don't feel well."

Xi Ping calmed down: "There may be twists and turns in this trip, I remind you to be careful. But if you really have the power to find out that something is wrong with you, with your semi-immortal cultivation base, you won't feel anything before you die."

"That's right." Xu Rucheng was silent for a moment, "Senior, a group of mothers-in-law and mothers from the Zhao family have come to torment me every day these few days.

Xi Ping's heart skipped a beat.

There should have been a lot of red tape in the grand wedding of the emperor and grandson, but the Zhao family's servants mixed in the secret work, resulting in the assassination of Her Royal Highness Princess Qiyang, and the assassin disappeared under the noses of Sanyue Shengling masters.

This accident almost shocked Dongheng's government and the public, and had two consequences:

The first one, Princess Qiyang was the aunt of Zhao Xidan's future husband-in-law, and the Zhao family could hardly absolve herself of the blame for her disappearance. Prince Qing's residence had taken care of the overall situation by not turning against them.But the seal of the dragon and the phoenix has been completed, and the marriage is a certainty, especially since the Zhao family can't repent, so the identity of the eldest lady suddenly hangs in the balance... At present, the two sides are still bargaining, to see if the Zhao family is willing to endure the Prince Qing's mansion for this daughter. Exorbitant asking prices - in any case, the wedding is impossible.Although this matter is disgusting, it is a good thing for Xi Ping. He does not have to wait for the "good day and auspicious time", which greatly shortens the time for action.

The second one is that Lord Qulong heard about this and went back to Dongheng with his sword overnight. He was so sad that he announced that his spiritual bone had been completed and his Taoism had been resolved. Kill enemies to the ends of the earth.

A few days later, Lord Qulong dripped his blood on a special token—the token was designed by Lin Chi privately, and it was made of a kind of spirit animal skin, and every air hole on the skin was inlaid with Miniature inscriptions or small magic circles, blood flows into them, activates the magic circle at a specific location, and it will be guided by the magic circle into a piece of reincarnation wood far away in Tao County. It can only be used once, and the magic circle will be annihilated immediately. Blood, forcibly dismantling the token, the magic circle will also be annihilated-then the consciousness of Master Qu Long entered the secret realm of breaking the law, and had a friendly meeting with Lu Wu's behind-the-scenes black hand, Zhou Ying.

The two had a secret conversation overnight, and the next day, Qu Longhou personally rushed to Tao County with his personal guards, and resolutely carried out some rectification of the garrison.

Lord Hou invited the Qilin Guards who dared not enter Tao County to watch the ceremony, removed and replaced a bunch of unscrupulous generals under his command, promulgated 23 military regulations not to disturb the people in a high-profile way, and cut down a group of people looking for gaps The soldiers who caused the trouble left a few of their confidants to take over Tao County, and announced that Tao County's autumn and winter relief food funds would be escorted by the garrison in person, ensuring that not a single penny would be lost, please rest assured.The purpose of logging is to build roads, and better tree species will be planted in the future, and there will never be any more soldiers trespassing on houses in the future.

The deaf and blind Qilinwei watched a "military and civilian harmony" inexplicably, and reported it to Lingshan according to the system. He felt that Qu Longhou could not wait to show his grand plans once he was free.

In this way, under the witness of Qilinwei, Tao County "fairly" changed his surname to Zhou in places where Lingshan could not be monitored.

Give him a crack, and Zhou Ying can pry open Lingshan, not to mention Tao County, where "you can't see your fingers" for the monks in the world, Xi Ping feels that the third brother is like a rat that fell into the rice vat, and he has to behave cheaply. It's okay to kill him...Of course, he didn't dare to say this in front of the third brother.

But Tao County is safe this winter, and the calamity is over.

This land that has been repeatedly ravaged by evil spirits and regarded as an abandoned child by Xianshan finally got a season of recuperation.The 10 taels of white spirits quietly scattered in the ground veins have stored fish in the water and grass on the shore. Immediately, migratory birds flying from Beili for the winter settled here.After Zhao Xidan was "captured" by the garrison and released, he was accepted by the people around him so logically, and became a "Tao County's own person" at a loss.Someone inadvertently saw her teaching Wei Cheng how to pronounce Chu characters, so he used two hanging bacon as a bundle, begging her to teach his children to read and write.

At this point, the right and wrong caused by the autumn killing finally came to an end, Wei Cheng resounded the debt of conscience, and was ready to set off to go back to the land of chaos-the eldest lady does not need to be taken care of by her, and there are still her people in the land of chaos, not to mention her prosthetic limb No matter how ingenious it is, it can only be used as a decoration in Tao County, where the spirit is forbidden, which is really inconvenient.

Xi Ping thought in his heart: This time, in order to assassinate the princess, several Lu Wu who followed Xu Rucheng revealed their identities. Now that the Xiang family is so negligent, I am afraid they will not let "Zhao Xidan" bring his family into Sanyue Mountain.Although Sanyue said that fish and dragons are mixed, there are "dragons" after all. Xu Rucheng is a little half-immortal, and the powerful people are too lazy to look at him. It may not be difficult to sneak in, but it is difficult to find clues to the outer furnace... I really can't Out of Tao County?

Xi Ping has always acted when he thinks about it, he doesn't remember to eat, but when he thinks about it, his spiritual consciousness goes to Xuanyin Yueyue Peak.
