Chapter 542 Xu Qing, Do You Have a Taoist Companion
Xuanzhan calendar, [-], December.

The winter wind is accompanied by snowflakes, walking on the border of the county capital, passing dead trees and wilderness, dancing like powder.

It seems that it is trying its best to fill the cracks formed by the ancient descending on the ground.

Until it reached the capital city, after the sky and the earth whirled, it merged into the streets, roofs and bustling crowds, turned into a white mist, and coexisted in the world in another form.

It has been half a month since the change of Jun Cheng.

In the past half a month, as if the wind and snow were going to repair the cracks in the ground, the monks of the Sangong in the county capital, the sword-holding court of the ten prefectures and the various major sects were all working hard for the reconstruction of Fenghai County.

A large number of sword-wielding warriors also went out to the states to join in the rescue and suppress all the rebellious races during this period.

Gradually, most of the bad influence brought about by the change of Jun Cheng dissipated, and everything began to recover.

Especially Yaohou and Qiye, the common bond between them is Xu Qing, so even though they are not familiar with each other, after contacting each other, they appreciate each other.

It seems that the attributes are also somewhat similar, so they cooperate very well.

And the dawn finally shed on Fenghai after the snowstorm.

The deputy palace lords of the three major palaces have successively been appointed as the principals, and this is Li Yunshan in the Palace of Holding Swords.As the oldest deacon, Deacon Sun took over the position of deputy palace lord.

Daoist Sinan, he has other missions.

As for Xu Qing, his life is not much different from the past, and the rewards in the Human Emperor's decree have not yet been delivered, but as for the rewards, he also understands the meaning from Master and Yaohou.

A gold medal is something that can avoid death. As long as one does not commit the crime of conspiracy, one can avoid death once.

The yellow robe is a special gift from the royal family, which is a blessing of status.

The qualification of Taixue is an opportunity to go to the Taixue Palace of the human race for further study. There are inheritances from all races since ancient times, which is of great help to the breakthrough of Lingzang.

In addition, the first person in each batch of students in the Taixue Palace will have a chance to be attracted by the Holy Land test. Once they pass the Holy Land test, they can be attracted to the Holy Land
The Holy Land is high above the Wanggu Continent.

In the nearly 3000 years of Xuanzhan's history, no student has successfully passed the test.

As for the first-class merit of the human race, it is a huge honor, and there are fewer than a hundred people who have lived to have it over the years.

But these rewards are not necessary for Xu Qing. His life is as usual, but the location of his residence has changed, and it is no longer the sword pavilion on the ground.

He lived in the Palace of Holding Swords, the original palace of accompanying orders.

Under the suggestion of Yaohou and Qiye, Xu Qing reorganized the commander of the book and became a very special department in Fenghai County. It was no longer in charge of the affairs of the first palace, but the entire Fenghai County.

detached status.

Xu Qing's identity in Fenghai County is still Shu Ling.

The duty is to provide Yaohou and Qiye, the acting prefects, to sort out the information of the whole county and assist in the management of Fenghai County.

The number of members of the Shuling Division is also much higher than before. In addition to the Palace of Holding Swords, Shuling Divisions have also been established in the other two palaces. Each state holds a sword court and guards the land of a state.

Kong Xianglong is responsible for this matter.

He also joined Commander Shu, along with Shan Hezi who had returned from his injuries.

Seeing Kong Xianglong, an outsider with such power, the captain felt a little bitter, so he encouraged Xu Qing to develop a secret department in the sects of various states.

The person in charge of the secret department, the captain recommended himself, took charge of it personally, and was extremely enthusiastic, and left the county capital with a mission.

Before leaving, he patted Xu Qing on the shoulder, his expression full of arrogance.

"Junior brother, the old man has become the magistrate, guarding this family business for us, and I can't just sit around, senior brother. I will support the secret department!"

Seeing the unconcealable excitement on the captain's face, Xu Qing thought of the previous order about Li Shitao from the Fengxing Palace, so he looked around.

"What are you looking at?" The captain was taken aback, he was full of ambition, but Xu Qing looked around, which made him a little guilty.

"I'm looking for Li Shitao." Xu Qing said frankly.

"Your sister-in-law, I'm very annoyed that she insists on following me, but there's nothing I can do."

The captain coughed and didn't continue the topic, but put his arms around Xu Qing's neck, leaned closer and spoke in a low voice.

"Little Ah Qing, let me tell you, this time I'm not going out to talk about love, I have two things, one is a secret secretary, and the other...I've been thinking about a big thing recently!"

"This big event has been done, and our two brothers are very powerful, so I plan to go out to collect information about the Moon Festival and come back soon."

"Sacrifice to the Moon Dayu?" Xu Qing's eyes narrowed, he is very sensitive to the word "moon" now.

The captain blinked, raised his hand to boo Xu Qing, and said in a low voice.

"When I come back, I'll talk to you in detail. In short, junior brother, you should be ready to go out. This time, senior brother will take you to do something amazing!"

The captain licked his lips, and Xu Qing's familiar madness appeared in his eyes, then he hummed a ditty and led many people away in a mighty way.

Xu Qing stood on the bluestone platform on the edge of the Sword Holding Palace, watched the captain go away, and spoke lightly.

"Come out."

As Xu Qing's voice came out, Ning Yan showed his head from the attic not far away, sneered, and quickly ran to Xu Qing's side.

He was afraid of the captain, worried about being called away by the captain, and it was useless to hide, so he always came to Xu Qing to beg during this time.

"Master Shuling, I think I can be your Shuling!"

Ning Yan spoke loudly.

"Have you found Qingqiu?" Xu Qing glanced at Ning Yan.

"I found it, this bitch..."

Xu Qing's eyes turned cold.

Ning Yan suddenly trembled, and quickly changed his words.

"Your Excellency Qingqiu assisted Yinghuangzhou Litujiao before, and then went to Nanhuangzhou..."

Xu Qing nodded, but didn't speak again.

Ning Yan hurriedly left, and after walking a long distance, he breathed a sigh of relief, secretly thinking that Xu Qing had obviously gained some aura in the past half a month, and he understood that it was the coercion formed by the luck surrounding Fenghai County.

This kind of coercion made Xu Qing even if he was only a Nascent Soul, but he had the fortune of a county, and it was difficult for ordinary people to resist.

Ignoring Ning Yan, Xu Qing turned around and walked towards the Cangdian Pavilion of the Sword Holding Palace.

In the past half a month, he often went there, and under his application, the Fengxing Palace, Silu Palace, and the ancient books of the Sheriff's Mansion were all sent over.

There are a lot of them.

"Brother Xu Qing, who is Qingqiu?"

On the way to the Cangdian Pavilion, a small white snake was exposed from the cuff of Xu Qing's right hand. With big innocent eyes, he asked curiously.

"A childhood friend, I met later, let me introduce you."

Xu Qing lowered his head, raised his left hand to gently stroke the little white snake's head, and spoke softly.

His stroking made the little white snake very comfortable, its eyes narrowed, and a silver bell-like laugh came out.

"Grumbling."

Xu Qing also laughed. It was Ling'er who saved him again when he was under Lingyuan before he lost consciousness.

However, Ling'er's practice and absorption of the ancient spirit's luck have not yet been completed, and the process is slow, so she can only wrap around Xu Qing's right wrist in the form of a little white snake at this moment.

In this way, Xu Qing returned to the Cangdian Pavilion, where he continued to search for all the classics and materials until time passed and three days passed.

Xu Qing felt a little regretful. Although there were gains, they were not many.

What he was looking for was an introduction to Life Lamp and how to fully integrate into himself.

The captain once said that over the years, many people have tried to do it, but no one has succeeded.

And through looking through ancient books these days, Xu Qing knew that what the captain said was not completely correct.

In history, someone has succeeded.

That was before the remnants of the gods came, even before the ancient spirit emperor unified, there was an ancient ruler who walked a retrograde path.

Generally speaking, a monk can only change his bloodline after he has reached the level of domination, so that the life lamp will be born in the body, and his descendants can enjoy the blessings and form the life lamp when building the foundation.

But the way this master is going is the opposite.

Like Xu Qing, he beheaded the heirs of the ancient emperor when he established the foundation, dug out the lamp of life, and integrated it into himself. After that, he experienced many catastrophes of life and death, soared into the sky, and became the master.

In Juncheng's classics, there are only a few words about the master's introduction, after all, it is too old.

Even this bit of information was recorded because of such a heaven-defying thing that happened to him.

As for true and false, it is difficult to distinguish.

"Light from beyond the sky?"

Xu Qing murmured, these four words were mentioned in the master's record, it seems that the reason why the other party can fuse the life lamp is because of a mysterious thing called the light from beyond the sky.

But the light from the sky was only mentioned in the records of the master, and Xu Qing has not found any clues in any other classics these days.

Even Xu Qing asked his master a few days ago, but the other party had never heard of this thing, and Xu Qing from Yao Hou also asked, and the other party told him to ask the friends of the imperial capital for him.

Feeling regretful, Xu Qing returned to the Shuling Commander to deal with the official documents sent by the states until noon the next day when he received a voice transmission from Yaohou.

"Xu Qing, I found some of the information you wanted for you, and I also have something for you. Would you like to come to my house?"

Xu Qing's eyes lit up, he immediately got up and left the Palace of Holding Swords, and went straight to Yao's Mansion.

On the way, he saw the bustling streets of the county capital, and the smiles on people's faces were obviously much more than before.

The sultan they had eaten was actually not poisonous. Yaohou and Shizun had gathered all alchemy masters in Fenghai County to study this point carefully.

Also declared non-toxic.

But people are suspicious of things that are closely related to themselves, so many people have doubts about this, so Yaohou proposed to use the harmless pill as a solution.

Therefore, there is a kind of elixir known as Jiesu, which is provided to the people in the county for free.

The function of this pill is to strengthen the body.

In the end, everyone is happy.

This incident also taught Xu Qing a lesson, allowing him to have a deeper understanding of human nature.

But no matter what, the process and ending were good, so Xu Qing put his mind away and came to Yao's mansion.

The entire Yao manor attached great importance to welcoming Xu Qing's arrival. Those clansmen who were released from the prison department already knew that it was because of Xu Qing's words that everyone was saved from death.

So when Xu Qing came to Yao's mansion, the Yao family was extremely respectful, and their eyes were even more grateful. They bowed together outside the gate.

"Welcome Xu Shuling."

The crowd was full of old and young women and children, Yao Yunhui and Yao Feihe were among them.

The expression of the former is complex, the originally charming face is now haggard, the once bumpy and delicate body is now much thinner, but its beauty has not diminished, on the contrary, because of its fragility, it has become more pitiful. meaning.

As for Yao Feihe, even though she was still dressed in a palace attire, the disaster of the prison and the disaster of the family made her haggard a lot. She was no longer the grace when Xu Qing met for the first time, but more human fireworks.

She looked at Xu Qing, and together with Yao Yunhui, she bowed and bowed.

Xu Qing stepped forward to help the old man in the crowd, looked at Yao Yunhui and the others, and finally looked at Yao Feihe.

"Yaohou is my senior, you don't have to be like this."

"Master Xu's kindness, my Yao family will remember." Yao Feihe said softly, and then, amidst the respect of the surrounding clansmen, she and Yao Yunhui brought Xu Qing into Yao's mansion.

Two women, one at the side and one behind.

The fragrant wind permeated the surroundings, Xu Qing felt a little uncomfortable, the little white snake on the wrist peeked out at this moment, and looked around curiously.

In this way, they went all the way to the main hall of Yao's house.

Yaohou stood there, smiling at each other.

"Meet the sheriff." Xu Qing quickly walked a few steps and bowed respectfully.

Yao Hou smiled and motioned for Xu Qing to sit down. He did not sit in the main seat, but a side seat.

Seeing this, Xu Qing felt even more respectful, and also sat on the sidelines.

As for Yao Yunhui and Yao Feihe, he personally poured tea for them.

Xu Qing's here is Yao Yunhui.

Holding the teapot, she poured the tea into the cup, looked at Xu Qing in front of her, and couldn't help feeling a little dazed, the past flashed before her eyes.

She never imagined that in less than two years, the newly promoted swordsman would reach the current peak.

This trance caused the tea to overflow and spread across the table, Xu Qing turned to look at her.

Only then did Yao Yunhui come to her senses, and quickly took a few steps back.

Also in a trance was Yao Feihe.

The source of the complexity in her heart is different from that of Yao Yunhui, but it is also deep. She still remembers that the first time she saw Xu Qing was brought by her best friend Zixuan.

At that time, she didn't really care too much about it. After all, Xu Qing was just a small sword holder at that time.

And she, Yaohou's younger sister, also has a place in the imperial capital.

All the conversations are because she values ​​Zixuan, she feels that Zixuan's future is limitless, with Zixuan's talent, it is easy to stand beside a big tree, so that people dare not desecrate it in the slightest.

But what happened later, like a reversal of the world, she saw Xu Qing again, who was recognized by all the people in Fenghai County as the future sheriff, her brother was also cleared of grievances because of him, and her whole family was saved from death because of him. death robbery.

Looking back at the past at this moment, it turned out that Xu Qing who was by Zixuan's side back then was a towering tree, but he didn't recognize it.

How could all this keep her from being in a trance.

And in this trance and complexity, she was even more envious of Zixuan.

Yao Hou also noticed the expressions of his sister and daughter. He was a little surprised, and couldn't help but look weird. He looked at Xu Qing, then at his daughter, and then glanced at his sister.

Then he coughed.

Yao Yunhui and Yao Feihe immediately bowed their heads and left the main hall.

In the main hall at this moment, only Yao Hou and Xu Qing are left.

Yao Hou looked at Xu Qing.

Xu Qing looked at Yao Hou with his usual expression.

After a while, a smile appeared on Yao Hou's face.

"Xu Qing, you don't have a Taoist partner yet, do you?"

Xu Qing was stunned for a moment, before he could speak, the little white snake in his cuff suddenly showed its head and stared at Yao Hou unkindly.

"Grumble!"

Yaohou swept his eyes away, smiled slightly, and stopped mentioning the matter, but raised his right hand to grab the void, took out an object, and placed it in front of Xu Qing.

This is a blood-colored lamp in the shape of wings.

"This light is for you."

Yaohou spoke meaningfully and spoke slowly.
