So What If You've Been Reborn?

Chapter 57 Arriving in the capital for the first time

The stairs creaked, and unlike Yuzhou's desolation, the inn in the capital was very crowded.

When Chen Ho walked in, there was another child wrapped in cotton padded clothes. Because he couldn't stand firmly, his left foot tripped over his right foot, and he fell on his calf from the last step of the stairs.

"..."

Shi Feng used a trick to deceive him. At this moment, they looked like two ordinary middle-aged men, and children had the most sensitive sense. He stared at Chen Ho and suddenly wailed loudly.

Then the child was rushed away by the family behind him.

Before Chen Ho recovered from his stiffness, he vaguely heard a soft laugh.

"Brother." Chen He whispered in embarrassment.

"Well, you often fell like this when you were young, but you never cried." Shi Feng said casually.

Chen He was even more embarrassed. Jin Dan's late stage cultivation was not able to suppress the redness behind his ears.

Seeing from behind, Shi Feng's smile gradually disappeared, and he also felt a little embarrassed, more of an uncontrollable self-loathing.

——He watched his junior brother grow up, but he had such delusional thoughts about Chen He.

If it spreads out, even people in the demonic way will be astonished and ridiculed.

In the world of comprehension, there has never been a Taoist companion who is also a man, let alone a brother.Love is a crime, how to extricate oneself?

"Brother, is it okay for us to live casually like this?"

Chen Ho's words woke Shi Feng up.

Shi Feng suppressed the worry in his eyes, and smiled slightly: "This is the capital city, and tomorrow is the sixth day of the first lunar month. In two days, the lanterns will be released. The Shangyuan Lantern Festival will last until the seventeenth day of the first lunar month. The common people must come to participate in the Lantern Festival. Those who have a little wealth want to play for a few more days, and if they don’t come earlier, they may not be able to stay in the inn!"

In this year and month, there is a curfew at night, and the brilliant lights that last all night can only be seen during the Lantern Festival.

"Oh!" Chen He looked at the heads moving around, subconsciously feeling a little bit of anticipation.

Although he is no longer a teenager, his experience is very limited, he has never seen any excitement, nor has he seen the glitz and glamor of the prosperous age.

"Shopkeeper, do you still have room?"

Shi Feng took something casually and turned it into a guide. Without this thing, he couldn't stay in the store.

"Guest officer, I'm sorry, the upper room is gone, but there is still a room with a local name on the west corner upstairs, which is clean and tidy!" The innkeeper with his abacus smiled brightly.

"This is the one!" Shi Feng took out the money.

"Wait, take it, here is the key!" The shopkeeper cracked his abacus and smiled mysteriously, "If the guest officer doesn't want new bedding or hot tea, the store can give you half the price." .”

This question is very strange, how can anyone who stays in the store not want these things, but Shi Feng nodded calmly: "It's just not necessary, please trouble the shopkeeper."

"okay!"

The shopkeeper called a man to lead them upstairs.

The guy looked respectful, and he didn't neglect Shi Feng because he looked ordinary at all. He led the two of them to the front and back of the house, rubbed his hands together and asked, "Does the guest want to buy news about Dabaoguo Temple and Baishan Academy? The latest."

Shi Feng threw a piece of silver over without blinking.

The man became more attentive. He looked around, then closed the door, and said in a very fast voice: "This year Dabaoguo Temple will recruit about ten priests, and Baishan Academy is not short of people. Their big priests have left. Urgently looking for a top master. Baishan Academy recruits priests on the tenth day of the first lunar month, and Baoguo Temple on the eighth day of the first lunar month."

Shi Feng nodded calmly.

The guy who planned to continue selling detailed information looked a little disappointed, but he didn't bother, and went out quickly.

"What is the offering?" Chen He asked suspiciously.

"Dabaoguo Temple and Baishan Academy are the two factions with the most practitioners in the capital." Shi Feng casually walked around the house, making sure that there were no traces of magic spells here.

Chen Ho shut his mouth, looking embarrassed.

——Sure enough, he doesn’t have any worldly experience. Next time, he must remember to inspect the house before speaking.

"In the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, not only ordinary people gathered in the capital, but also many casual cultivators. Since this is the place where Venerable Huanjian has the strongest power and the orthodox way has declined, only this temple and one academy can be ranked. In order to strengthen Strength, they can only recruit offerings every year to resist the encroachment of demonic forces."

Chen He tried hard to think about it, but he still couldn't find these two names in that poor memory.

Shi Feng sneered: "Don't think about it, these are just two small sects."

"Ok?"

"The Heluo Sect is one of the five major sects in the cultivation world. In the sect, monks in the Nascent Soul stage are the most important, and the elders must at least be in the Transformation God stage. Among the monks in Dabaoguo Temple, it is considered good if there is a Nascent Soul stage."

Chen He rubbed his forehead in frustration.

——He forgot that the monks before the Golden Core stage had the most people in the cultivation world.

In Heiyuan Valley, the lowest stage of transformation, 40 years of small world fragments, except for the little Taoist priests who make up the number, the worst is also the Nascent Soul stage.

Invisibly, it caused Chen He to ignore that outside the circle of great sects and big forces, the general situation in the cultivation world is: Jindan stage monks can be regarded as honored guests, while Nascent Soul stage monks are already unattainable. People, can be honored as the master of XX ancestors.

Venerable Huanjian is very powerful, but Qin Meng, his most trusted subordinate in Yuzhou, is only a demon cultivator at the foundation establishment stage.

Even if Venerable Huanjian is the number one master in the way of magic, this title cannot double the strength of his subordinates. There are more masters than masters in the world, and they will always be ordinary people.

"So, these two groups of orthodox monks, who are no taller than the Nascent Soul stage, are struggling to resist the expansion of the power of Venerable Huanjian every year?" Chen He didn't know whether to show sympathy or look like a lunatic.

——How hard to think about it, how ignorant it is, to be able to fight against Venerable Huanjian!

Shi Feng felt amused again, and also sighed at the same time.

The enlightenment can only make Chen He understand common sense, but he cannot understand the complexity of the world caused by people's hearts.

"The most powerful person in the world, the emperor, likes to play the game of balancing power. To him, the Dabaoguo Temple, Baishan Academy, and the National Teacher are all gods and masters, but all wise emperors do not He will only rely on one side. Only in this way can he rest in peace and feel that people outside the world are also loyal to him. The emperor likes to deceive himself like this, so everyone will play with him. It will destroy Baishan Academy."

Everyone tacitly.Fooling the emperor is an old profession that has been practiced for thousands of years in the cultivation world, and he is very familiar with it.

As for the difference between the Jindan stage and the Mahayana stage——

Does Baishan Academy dare to say it?Will Venerable Huanjian speak?

Chen He nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly asked: "Senior brother, you mentioned the national teacher just now, who is that?"

"..."

Shi Feng glanced at him.

"No, no!"

Chen He was a little shocked. He couldn't imagine the national teacher wearing the mask of a blessing baby, and he couldn't help but ask: "The Venerable Huanjian drove the Qiankun Temple to Daxue Mountain 300 years ago, and the previous dynasty was destroyed. , but it has been 300 years, how can he explain to every emperor that he has been alive?"

"Blinding the eyes." Shi Feng didn't lift his eyes.

"..."

"In the past 300 years of this dynasty, there have been seventeen national teachers successively, all of whom were played by Venerable Huanjian alone."

Chen Ho was completely speechless and could only blink his eyes.

In fact, Shi Feng still didn't finish his sentence - according to human history records, half of the national teachers in this dynasty died very strangely.

This is also the practice of one emperor and one courtier. Due to the ancestral precepts, the title of national teacher cannot be banned, but there are many emperors who are eager to seize power, playing tricks, assassinating, and giving poison!

Anyway, everyone knows how to deceive the emperor, including the abbot of Dabaoguo Temple and the head of Baishan Academy. The emperor "gives poison" and dies to show the emperor, so that the emperor feels that the world is still his, even "fairies" will die Yes, hello, hello, everyone, it's really nice.

After fooling the emperor, everyone continued to pinch behind the scenes.

Historians will record the affairs of the national teacher, but they will not care about how many abbots have changed in the temples in the capital. Anyway, the abbot of Dabaoguo Temple is just a name. Afraid of being exposed?

But like Venerable Huanjian, he had let himself "die" seven times at the hands of a suspicious and violent emperor, and the eighth time was himself!In fact, the appearance, personality and habits of the seventeen national teachers of this dynasty are all different, and there is no flaw in the historical records.

"Won't he get confused?" Chen He blurted out.

Shi Feng thought for a while, and replied: "I didn't quite understand it before, but after getting acquainted this time, it suddenly dawned on me."

Shadow puppetry is a very common entertainer among the folks. He carries a burden and walks in the market. He only needs a screen, a few candles, and is alone, holding a bamboo stick connected with a string. No matter men, women, old or young, he can learn the voices vividly.

Putting down the shadow puppets and taking out the blindfolded Huanjian Venerable, who can see the flaw?

"Although the strength of Baishan Academy and Dabaoguo Temple is poor, they have a deep foundation in the capital. There is no shortage of money every year. In terms of the amount of coins, they are richer than the Heluo Sect. The offerings are also very impressive. Every year on the first month, there are Many casual cultivators came to compete for this spot."

"So we pretended to be those casual cultivators who went to Beijing?" Chen He understood a little bit.

It's just that this inn is ordinary, and the manager and staff are ordinary people.

Shi Fengxiang saw his doubts, and said lightly: "In the eyes of ordinary people, Dabaoguo Temple and Baishan Academy are both martial arts sects with profound internal methods."

"..."

Oh, pretending to be a martial arts master!

The favorite method of concealment in the comprehension world.

"So, the shopkeeper and the staff of the inn in the capital thought that the masters of the rivers and lakes who would come to Dabaoguo Temple to compete with Baishan Academy every year, and compete to be enshrined, would meditate at night without quilts, baths, or tea?" Chen Heyue Thinking back, his expression became even weirder, "So, that guy was so respectful to us after the brother wanted to buy news? Is he afraid that we will tear down his inn?"

"This...maybe."

When Shi Feng came to the capital, he never expected so much.

He looked for an inn instead of asking Venerable Huanjian to arrange a place to stay. Firstly, Shi Feng would not trust him completely, and secondly, he also avoided alarming Venerable Huanjian's subordinates, so as to scare the snake and let Ji Hong discover the clue.

The most important thing is that the capital of the first month is full of fish and dragons, which is very convenient for hiding.

"Rest." Shi Feng habitually wanted to reach out to touch his brother's head, but stopped halfway, and retracted it as if nothing had happened, "Senior brother will watch over your cultivation."

Even if the delusion regenerates, he can't leave his junior brother.

Shi Feng vaguely felt that Ji Hong was just a part of a huge conspiracy.

Even if he had to endure the torment of this kind of delusion, he couldn't let Chen Ho fall into danger.
