[Fengshen] Crossing over to be a boy

Power transmission runes, the four are in a nested pattern, spirally distributed along the cloud dragon pattern.Guessing the purpose..."

When Cang Kong wrote this, he stopped, poked his chin with the handle of the pen absently, and thought for a moment.

"Guess the purpose: stabbing." He engraved.

"The use is so monotonous, is it really a magic weapon? No wonder the master is dissatisfied, I think it's too watery." After writing, Cang Kong puffed up his cheeks and blew on the tortoise shell, blowing off the bone meal. What a cool and domineering skill. Thinking about it, it seems that there is not a powerful rune among the runes that the master taught me."

Picking up the fruit of today's hard work - three tortoise shells full of characters, Cangkong walked to the Hanxu courtyard of Qingxu Daodezhenjun.

☆, time flies

"Master, this is today's homework." Cang Kong offered three pieces of tortoise shell with both hands.

"Well, you did a good job." Qingxu Daodezhen Monarch glanced briefly, nodded and said, "Cangkong Tonger, how long have you been practicing this?"

"Reporting to the master, it has been half a month."

"Three magical artifacts a day, that's 45 pieces in half a month. Well, it's not too small. I think you've already passed your color gamut calamity?"

"I am about to report to the master, I have already passed, and there is no more hallucinations in the sedation."

Cang Kong has destroyed so many magic weapons, and it has already been effective in combating the color domain calamity - looking at the treasures every day, and analyzing and researching one by one, the freshness has long since disappeared, not to mention the greed for magic weapons. Occupy the heart?The diamond cut that he loved so much before was treated as a big hammer by him, specially used for smashing things, and he would throw it anywhere when not in use, it would not be a pity at all.After entering the meditation, the phantom has also disappeared.

"That's good. What about inner vision? Can you do inner vision without the help of Vajra Takuo?"

"Yes, since the disciple started destroying weapons to practice, his spiritual consciousness has grown very fast, and he has done it three days ago."

"Very good, then you can continue to practice like this. Before the age of 16, my teacher will not teach you any more exercises."

"Fuck, I'm going to drive me down the mountain at the age of 16?! Is this the treatment of a child?!" Cang Kong's eyes widened, and he almost said what was in his heart.

Fortunately, Qingxu Daodezhenjun still has a little conscience, and after a pause, he began to explain: "The "Huangdi Neijing" says: "My husband is eight years old, with strong kidney qi, and long teeth; Qi is overflowing and yin and yang are in harmony, so you can have children'. The so-called refinement and transformation of qi means that what you refine is the essence in both kidneys. Now that your kidney qi is not enough, you will hurt your body through intensive training."

"So there are still these sayings." Cang Kong thought to himself, "In the previous life cultivation novels, those protagonists started to cultivate some innate vitality in the womb. They are really nonsense. Think about it, the baby's viscera and meridians have not yet developed, and the true energy is constantly circulating. , There is no place to save, how about some practice?!"

"And..." Qingxu Daodezhenjun's voice suddenly became a little hesitant, "A person's body is yin and yang. When practicing, the heart, fire, kidney and water should be intertwined, it is to help each other, the dragon and the tiger... Well, talk. Forget it, you are still too young to understand. In short, some of the cultivation terms here have profound and subtle meanings, and you need to be 16 years old to understand the meaning."

"Master, I actually understand..."

Then Qingxu Daodezhen gave him another big bag of magic weapons, and added difficulty: "As a teacher, these magic weapons are all failures. You have already learned the physical properties of equipment, and you can find the reason for the failure from the combination of physical properties. Record it and deliver it as a teacher."

"Disciple obeys." Cang Kong had no choice but to comply.

Coincidentally, these magic weapons given by Qingxu Daodezhenjun happen to have more or less physical property matching problems. Combining the knowledge in the previous jade slips and the content of the Taoist scriptures taught by Zhenjun, Cangkong can always be found in the Taoist scriptures. Pick out the problem from the magic weapon.

After three months, Zhenjun changed the request again—to ask him to find the problem from the perspective of rune operation.Sure enough, the magic weapons he gave after that all had some rune errors.Obviously, this is also the magic weapon chosen by Zhenjun in advance.

Another four months later, Qingxu Daodezhenjun gave him three jade slips, which respectively recorded the structure, material, use, physical properties and runes of all the magic weapons he came into contact with during this period. For comparison, you can ask for advice at any time.

After such training, Cang Kong's understanding of the magic weapon has been very in-depth.Zhenjun gave him the magic weapon again. This time, the magic weapon had a variety of problems, including material problems, matching problems, and rune problems. Most of the problems were more than two kinds of problems.Cang Kong could only summon up all his energy to deal with it, and would ask Qingxu Moral Lord for advice every day.

In addition, Cang Kong's Chonghe Gong and Qingwei mentality have also been practicing continuously without interruption.

Time flies, spring goes and winter comes, and seven years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Cang Kong seldom went down the mountain in the past seven years, but he kept practicing in the morning and evening. He kept destroying weapons every day. the original words.

From the age of nine to 16, the changes in Cang Kong's body were not limited to his cultivation.Probably because of balanced nutrition, adequate exercise, and no academic pressure, Cang Kong was at least a head taller in his previous life when he was 16 years old.

"I don't know if it's 1.7 meters nine or 1.8 meters one?" In Jingqin courtyard, Cang Kong looked at the wall in front of him and scratched his head thinking.There are many white lines scattered on the wall, all drawn by him with stones to measure his height.

"It's a pity that I don't have a ruler. I can only guess from the line I drew on the wall. Well, according to the size of this world, it's probably more than one foot by one foot. If it's one foot tall, it can also be called a husband." (One foot in the Shang Dynasty is 16.95cm today)

Cang Kong glanced at the tallest white line on the courtyard wall again, and felt that judging from his height, it was worth crossing it once.He straightened his clothes, hopping left and right and walked towards Hanxu Courtyard... Because of the Qimen Dunjia layout, it's not that he has a problem with IQ.

The path is twists and turns, and after passing through the rockery, the eyes suddenly open up.The small bluestone bridge is simple and elegant, connecting the two banks.Under the bridge is a mountain stream, with clear streams gurgling down.

When Cangkong passed by, he couldn't help but take a photo of the stream, secretly feeling that he had practiced well.Among other things, this face is much more beautiful than in the previous life. It is white and tender, without acne or peeling. In modern society, no one can ask for it.

While jumping left and right towards Hanxu Courtyard, he remembered that he had time traveled for seven years without knowing it, and he felt a little emotional, "If other time travelers, they would have killed the world and harvested beauties long ago. How can it be like me? , still being a child for others!"

"However, my treatment under the master's family is probably better than that of the disciples of ordinary monks?" Cang Kong thought of the hard work Qingxu Daodezhen had devoted to him, not to mention, "destroying the weapon" is such an extravagant way of cultivation Absolutely this one.The recipes for the three meals a day, the detailed instructions on the exercises, the detoxification charms used for detoxification, and even the clothes of the past seven years are all arranged by Zhenjun.

"But I don't want to understand it now. Could it be that I went to Nanbohou's mansion that time to get Diamond Cut?"

Seven years later, Cangkong discovered that everything Qingxu Daodezhen asked him to do had a deep meaning behind it, and it was tailor-made for him.Only when he went to Nanbohou's mansion to return the tripod, he still hasn't realized the meaning in it.

Cang Kong turned another corner, and the scene changed accordingly. A courtyard with white walls came into view, and two black lacquered wooden doors were opened as usual. He straightened his clothes again at the door, and walked straight into the main hall——

"Disciple Cang Kong, who has turned sixteen today, is here to meet the master."

"Very good," Qingxu Daodezhenjun also seemed very happy, and the color of his Taoist robes was much brighter than usual, "Tong'er, since you have reached the age of sixteen, you can formally practice my method of explaining teachings."

Afterwards, Zhenjun straightened his body, cleared his throat, and taught Cangkong how to refine Qi.

In fact, the principle is not complicated. It is to use the mind to attract the essence of both kidneys, go all the way along the Du channel, go against the upper spine, pass through the top door, and turn to the Ren channel after reaching the Jianjiao point, and then flow down into the Dantian to become true energy. This is the so-called The "refining gas".

After the first ray of true energy is generated, the true energy can be used to push the essence to go back on this path, achieving twice the result with half the effort.Ren and Du's two meridians happen to form a circle on the human body, so this line is called "Little Circumference", which is what I often hear people say in practice that "true qi runs a circle".

The cycle has been completed, and the true energy will naturally flow endlessly. When a monk reaches this level, he is far from being able to match with ordinary mortal warriors.

Maybe it's because of his accumulation and hard work, Cang Kong didn't encounter any obstacles when he practiced, and he cultivated the first ray of true energy very smoothly, and then it was hard work, and he just persisted every day.The realm of refining and transforming qi is actually much faster than the speed of practice before entry.

After entering this level, Cangkong realized that an extremely cruel thing had happened—he wanted to fast.

Bigu is a gradual process. In the early stage, you can take some spiritual fruits and medicines, and then the interval between meals will be longer, and finally you will stop eating completely.But one thing cannot be changed: no meat!

The process of weaning off meat is undoubtedly painful.Cangkong couldn’t help but want to sneak some wild game several times, but every time his success fell short: the hare that had been knocked out suddenly woke up, kicked him hard, and ran away quickly; The horned deer on the ground ran away without a trace as if they had been given a stimulant; obviously the branch in his hand was about to poke a fish, but the river suddenly rolled up a big wave and threw him in.The heavens can learn from it, the water depth of that river is not even below his knees, where did such big waves come from? !

After suffering a few times, Cang Kong had no choice but to give up trying to steal meat.

Anything abnormal must be a demon, not to mention that there is an unpredictable fairy living beside him.All these weird and unlucky things happened to Cang Kong all at once, he couldn't believe it had nothing to do with the master in Hanxu Courtyard!

☆、Yunzhongjun and Yunzhongzi

There is a lot of people, cars and horses gather, the walls of the city stand tall, and the houses are row upon row.

This is the scene of Jingcheng today.

Jingcheng is the governing seat of Jingzhou, the seat of Nanbohou Mansion, and it is naturally the most prosperous city in Jingzhou.

Cang Kong was dressed in Taoist robes and was disheveled. Surrounded by his entourage, he walked slowly in Jingcheng, feeling the long-lost prosperity of the world.The last time he came here, he was a sneaky thief who sneaked into the Hou's mansion, but this time he was treated respectfully and politely by the other party. It's really a turn of events.

At this time, it has been half a year since he turned sixteen and started refining gas.

Three days ago, Qingxu Daodezhenjun ordered him to go down the mountain to handle errands, and gave him a token, the whole body was carved of ebony, and the word "Chan" was engraved on the front.The token itself is dark and shiny, as clean as new, and there is a warm feeling between the tentacles, just like a living thing.

Cang Kong has destroyed so many magical artifacts, and he has developed a pair of insightful eyes to recognize magic artifacts. How can he not see that this is a magical artifact that has been refined by monks?

"This is a token that can only be used by my disciples. You can use it as an identity certificate, and then go to Jingcheng as a teacher."

After saying this, Qingxu Daodezhenjun told him the ins and outs of this task.

The root cause of this task is actually the matter of Yun Zhongzi, and has nothing to do with Qingxu Dazhenjun.

Yun neutron was originally a form of cloud gas, and he was born with the supernatural power of manipulating clouds and controlling rain. Therefore, he was regarded as a god in Jingzhou. The incense was very strong and there were many believers.Later, he joined the sect of Chanjiao and practiced the Yuqing Dao, so he abandoned the temple in Jingzhou and moved to Zhongnan Mountain to live in seclusion.

As the saying goes, "the roots are broken", even though Yun Zhongzi has left, the statue is still being enshrined in Jingzhou.

This is nothing, the key is that the statue has some kind of mysterious causal connection with him, once it is destroyed, even his own cultivation base will be damaged.Of course, Jingzhou is more than a thousand miles away?There are countless temples offering sacrifices to Yun Neutron.But the only one who has this kind of connection with Yun Zhongzi is the statue of Jingcheng Temple that he once possessed and manifested.

Never thought that this time, the statues in Jingcheng Temple would be destroyed.

"Your Uncle Yun Zhongzi sent me a letter saying that he would lend you a jade talisman. You will know the details when you arrive."

After the words of Qingxu Daodezhenjun came out, it was obvious that he wanted to drive people away.Cangkong was ready to be forced to "teleport", but then he realized something was wrong - the master Zhenjun in front of him had no intention of taking out the green banner at all.

"I don't need a Hunyuan banner to send you off this time as a teacher. I will pass on a set of mantras for raising your energy, and practice it yourself. Remember, within three days from now, you must rush to Jingcheng. When you get there If you show your badge at the gate of the city and reveal your identity, someone will naturally take you to meet your uncle Yun Zhongzi."

Although Qingfeng Mountain is also within the territory of Jingzhou, it is at least a few hundred miles away from Jingcheng, and most of them are in the wilderness, where wild animals are infested. When Cang Kong heard that Zhenjun asked him to walk to Jingcheng, his face turned green.

"You have been bigu, running for three days without eating, drinking, or sleeping, um, you can meet the deadline agreed between your teacher and Junior Brother Yun Zhongzi." Qingxu Daodezhenjun said lightly.

"...the disciple complies."

Inside Jingcheng, Cang Kong gritted his teeth bitterly thinking about the situation when he left.

The attendant walking in front of him seemed to have sensed it, and glanced back secretly. As soon as he made eye contact with Cangkong, he immediately turned his head away as quickly as an electric shock, for fear of offending the monk who was in a bad mood and suffering an indiscriminate disaster .

"Cangkong Tonger, why did you become like this?"

In Nanbohou's Mansion in Jingcheng, after Yun Zhongzi met Cang Kong, the first sentence he spoke was the above sentence.

And boy Chen Yi behind him laughed so unkindly that Cang Kong could see his back molars.

"This...it's a long story." Cang Kong explained the reason with some embarrassment.In the final analysis, it was the fault of Qing Xu Dao Zhenjun, who sent him away just after he finished teaching the set of exercises for raising and controlling Qi.

As a result, Cangkong didn't know how to measure properly, and often took a single step, and somehow plunged into the bushes or muddy ponds, and it took a long time to get out.Finally, when he rushed to Jingcheng, he was already dressed in rags and unkempt, like a run-down beggar.Fortunately, the token of Chanjiao is really useful, otherwise it is still unknown whether the guards at the city gate will let him in.

"Why are you even more stupid than before? You can make yourself like this even if you practice Cloud Walking." After hearing his explanation, Chen Yi couldn't help laughing.

"So that set of exercises is called Sheyunbu." Cang Kong was not angry, because he saw Yun Zhongzi's hand making a familiar movement——

"Ouch!"

"Look, extreme joy begets sorrow, right?" Cang Kong thought gloatingly in his heart.

When Chen Yitongzi was laughing happily, Yun Zhongzi gave him a shudder from the air, making him swallow the second half of his laughter back into his stomach.

"You are transformed into a cloud and gas, and you can easily grasp this kind of light body skill. What is there to be proud of? How much you suffered when you passed through the color field calamity! You were impatient, laughed at your fellow disciples, and went back to copy "Qingwei Shangpin Dadong" "Truth" again!"

As soon as this remark came out, Chen Yi Tongzi immediately froze, and obediently stood by the side, not daring to refute.

"This uncle's punishment is harsh enough," Cang Kong couldn't help shaking his head and tongue while feeling secretly pleased, "I've also read "Qingwei Shangpin Dadong Zhenjing", and it's even shocking to see it with jade slips." Dizziness, let alone copying—carving on a tortoise shell with a knife, at least half a carload of tortoise shells is required, tsk tsk tsk, it’s horrible. It’s better for my master.” Thinking of this, he felt a little proud for no reason.

Afterwards, Yun Zhongzi ordered the servants of Hou's mansion to take Cang Kong to take a shower and change clothes, and then come to talk after tidying up.

After more than half an hour, Cang Kong returned to the room where they met.It doesn't take too much time to take a shower, but it's too much trouble to get dressed!His original Taoist robe was already worn out, so the people of the Hou Mansion naturally prepared a new suit for him. The fabric and design were very high-end, but it was too cumbersome. Six maids tossed around him for a long time before they could barely finish wearing it.

"The Taoist robe is still light." Cang Kong couldn't help saying when he knelt down in front of Yun Zhongzi again.

"The lifespan of a mortal is short, and he still likes to torment himself, how stupid!" Chen Yi boy echoed beside him.

This time Yun Zhongzi ignored him, but went straight to the point, telling the reason why he called Cang Kong.

Just four days ago, Chaoge, the capital city, suddenly sent an envoy to announce a decree to Nan Bohou. The general content is that the wind collector came to Jingzhou to collect wind, and found that the god Yun Zhongjun worshiped in Jingzhou was full of incense, and his senses were efficacious. , So he reported back to the court, the emperor (that is, King Zhou in later generations) was overjoyed, and also thought that Jun Yunzhong had done good deeds for many years and it was not easy to be single, so he specially decreed that Jun Yunzhong should be married to Jun Dong, and he would be named Mrs. Dong. Those who can share temple sacrifices.

Because the amount of information in this passage is too large, Yun Zhongzi explained it to Cang Kong in detail again.

The first is the wind collector.This is an official position established by the imperial court. As far as Yun Zhongzi knows, this position existed as early as Xuanyuan Huangdi.The wind-collecting officer is often selected by the emperor, and his duty is to inspect various places, compile local folk customs into songs and collect them, and listen to them in heaven.

Speaking of which, Cang Kong has also heard of the position of Fengfengguan, and if it is compared, it is somewhat similar to the imperial envoy of later generations.If the imperial court wants to know the governance situation in various places, it will naturally send people to inspect.In ancient times, there were no pens or papers, so it was inconvenient to record things, and the wind collectors couldn't go around with a few carts of tortoise shells all day long, right?Fortunately, the ancients had their own solution, which is to compile what they saw and heard into songs, which are easy to remember and memorize, and are easy to spread. Spreading them in the countryside can also add some cultural entertainment to the people.

There are also special officials in the imperial court who are responsible for recording and sorting out ballads and compiling them into collections.Among them, the most famous collection of ballads is the "Book of Songs", which is greatly respected by later generations.Cang Kong was an undergraduate who graduated from the Chinese Department in his previous life, so he naturally knew the origin of the "Book of Songs", and he also knew a little about the wind collector.

Secondly, it is Yun Zhongjun's problem.In the minds of people at that time, Yun Zhongjun was actually a female image.

"At that time, I hadn't been enlightened by my teacher, so after I took shape, my hair hung down and I didn't have a beard..." Yun Zhongzi said, pointing to his clean chin, "The natives of Jingzhou just saw me in profile, So I mistook me for a female body. The folk customs here are simple and respectful for women. I was practicing incense and gods at that time. I saw that the incense of the female body god was more prosperous than the male god, so I gave up. Later, I practiced the Yuqing Dharma Gate, and even abandoned the temples in Jingzhou. In the back of my mind, I have been postponing this matter to this day."

Cang Kong pretended to be serious on the surface, but in his heart he was laughing until his guts were knotted.

"Later generations say that my Uncle Cihang, whom I have never met, is the No. 1 transgender, but I don't know that Uncle Yun Zhongzi will be in the front. No wonder the master had such a strange expression when he mentioned Jun Zhongjun at the beginning. It turned out that it was because of this !"

When he was studying ancient literature, the teacher once talked about the "Nine Songs" which has been widely circulated in Chu, and specifically mentioned several "couples" of gods in it, such as Xiangjun and Mrs. Xiang, Hebo and Shangui, And Dongjun and Yunzhongjun.In addition, he explained later: Scholars in later generations have long verified that Yun Zhongjun is a goddess, and she should be Dongjun's wife Yunyun.

"I didn't expect the textual research of later generations to be here. Alas, history is so good at teasing people. I don't know who is that unlucky Dong Jun?" Cang Kong thought while recalling.

At this time, a white rainbow flew across the sky, stopped suddenly in the middle of the journey, and fell downside down with a trace of anger, and suddenly fell into the courtyard of Nanbohou Mansion.The Hou Mansion suddenly lit up, as if a little sun had risen.

The bright light was fleeting, and the white rainbow of anger collapsed and contracted in the middle, condensing into a human form, striding into the room with meteoric strides, the white robe was billowing, embroidered with three-legged golden crows, and his face was extremely handsome, dazzling like a red sun at first glance, It's just that a pair of phoenix eyes are full of anger.

"Your son has been bullied too much! I, Lu Ya, will not have sex with him!"

Say Dongjun, Dongjun is here.

☆、The origin of Dongjun

"Daoist Lu Ya is here." Yun Zhongzi bowed his hands and saluted.

"This is the most mysterious Daoist Lu Ya in the Romance of the Gods? In the past, he was believed to be the tenth son of Emperor Jun and the three-legged Golden Crow. Now it seems that he guessed right." Cang Kong thought.

"Yun Zhongzi is friendly." When Lu Ya saw Yun Zhongzi, he suppressed his anger and forced a smile, "After so many years, fellow Taoist has made great progress in cultivation. It is really gratifying to congratulate."

"So what about the growth of cultivation base, don't you want to get involved in the world of mortals?" Yun Zhongzi sighed slightly, raised his hand and beckoned Lu Ya to sit down, "I sent a jade talisman to invite Brother Dao to come, not for other reasons, that's why The son accepts the child's business."

"Zi Shou is a human emperor, so courageous!" When Lu Ya mentioned this, his two eyebrows were twisted up again, with a bit of majesty, and Chen Yitong shivered in fright.

"Be careful, my boy is also born in Yunqi. In terms of his nature, he can't get rid of the demon clan, and he can't bear the pressure of the demon emperor's blood." Yun Zhongzi flicked his green sleeve, and the faint brilliance flashed for a few breaths. Then his complexion turned pale, "I will chat with this Daoist Lu Ya for a while, you go out and wait."

"Yes, I would like to follow the master's order." Chen Yi boy lost his former high-spirited appearance, and exited the room respectfully.

"Uncle Master, Cangkong will leave." Cangkong was a little puzzled, but when he heard Yun Zhongzi's words, he followed suit.

Cang Kong was very thoughtful, and he didn't forget to close the door with his backhand when he went out.The moment the door was closed, it seemed that something invisible rose up, isolating the inside and outside of the house. He guessed it was some kind of soundproof enchantment, because Qingxu Daodezhenjun said that when talking, experts often like to use this to prevent eavesdropping .

"As soon as Daoist Lu Ya came, he interrupted Uncle Yun Zhongzi's words. I just don't know why Uncle called me over... Huh? Where did Chen Yi go? It's just a blink of an eye, it's impossible Run out of the gate?" Cang Kong turned around, but he didn't see Boy Chen Yi.

While thinking about it, he saw Chen Yi quietly revealing half of his small face from behind the rockery in the courtyard, the blood on it had not yet fully recovered, and it was still a little pale.

Cang Kong walked to the rockery in two or three steps, and asked curiously: "That Taoist Lu Ya in there just now scared you into such a state? They all hid here."

"You are a human race, and you don't understand this feeling." Chen Yi puffed up his face, staring at him unwillingly, and lost his previous vigor, "That Daoist Lu Ya is the son of Di Jun, the leader of the demon sect in the past. The tenth child, this coercion was bestowed on them by the Heavenly Dao of the three-legged Golden Crow clan as a reward for establishing the demon sect. I have not yet obtained the immortal position, and my instincts have not been cleaned up, so of course I can't bear it."

"Oh, he is the tenth son of Emperor Jun." Cang Kong deliberately put on a casual tone, wanting to hook the boy and say a few more words, "So what, it's all in the past."

"Let me tell you, Taoist Lu Ya was lucky enough to survive the catastrophe of the Lich. Now, after the Jade Emperor went up, in order to appease him, he kept his original title Dongjun and ordered him to continue to run the sun star. You said , Is he powerful?" Chen Yitong was really honest, and told everything he knew like a bamboo tube pouring beans.

"His father's name is Di Jun, why is Dong Jun called Lu Ya?" Cang Kong asked another puzzling question.

"Didn't Uncle Qingxu tell you these anecdotes? Dongjun's real name is Dihong. After Lich's calamity, he changed his name to Luya in order to show the end of the old days."

"Not really, that's how it is." Cang Kong understood a little bit.

"It's normal if you don't know." Chen Yi gave an explanation on his own, "Dongjun has always been friends with our Zhongnanshan lineage, and even has some relationship with the Chanjiao lineage. Although Master Qingxu is related to my family Master is very close, but his relationship with Daoist Lu Ya is mediocre."

"Is there such a thing? No wonder the master sent me here."

Cang Kong couldn't help but began to think about unkind things, and a complicated love triangle emerged in his brain, "My Uncle Yun Zhongzi is definitely a handsome guy with one top one, no, it's more accurate It should be the kind of cold-faced beauty, no wonder the Jingzhou villagers recognize the wrong gender. As for the master, the standard baby-faced gentle and handsome guy, he pretends to be young at his age, and he is not ashamed of being old. As for Dongjun Lu Ya, He is sunny, handsome and energetic. My uncle is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, so I must be caught between two people and cannot make up my mind. I was sent by the master to supervise my uncle’s unchanging mind. Short oil, thinking about it, I feel that the circle of practice is also very chaotic. .”

Suddenly footsteps came, Cangkong turned his head to look, a man in fine clothes came slowly, that man looked heroic, graceful, his gestures and gestures had the demeanor of a nobleman.Behind him was a cloth-robed attendant, bowing his head and crossing his hands, following closely with small steps.

"Hello, two little Taoists." The man bowed his hands slightly, not like other mortals that Cang Kong saw, flattering and humble because of his status as a monk.

Immediately after, the cloth-robed entourage first bowed to Nan Bohou, and then introduced to the two of them: "This is Mr. Nan Bohou." When speaking, he didn't even dare to look directly at Nan Bohou. Hou's face and tone were also extremely respectful.

In his spiritual consciousness, Cangkong sensed that the guard had an extraordinary aura, absolutely extraordinary, and in terms of specific cultivation, it might be even higher than him.It's normal to think about it. After all, Nanbohou E Chongyu was one of the four great princes of the Shang Dynasty. How could he stand without some powerful people around him?only……

"The guard's cultivation is so good that he is considered a powerful figure in the mortal world. If it is said that he came here for the resources enshrined by the Marquis Mansion. I think his attitude towards E Chongyu is very respectful, and he is no different from ordinary people. Where is the detachment of a practitioner?"

Cangkong frowned secretly, not forgetting the politeness on his face: "I met Nan Bohou." He took Chen along to salute, neither humble nor overbearing, with comprehensive etiquette.Who would have imagined that these two people once broke into Lord Hou's mansion in front of them hand in hand at night, making the entire mansion uneasy.

"Just now I saw a white rainbow falling into the mansion, presumably Lord Dongjun has arrived?" Although E Chongyu's sentence was a question, it was in an affirmative tone.Such an obvious vision, even a fool can see it, he just used this sentence as an opening introduction.

"Master Hou made a good guess. Dong Jun is discussing with Uncle Yun Zhongzi inside." Cang Kong replied.

"Well, that's right." Chen Yi reacted half a beat later, and followed suit, "Master has installed a sound-proof barrier, so you can't get in." He has a simple and simple nature, and his words are much more stupefied than Cang Kong's.

"Forget it, there's nothing urgent about it, so you can wait." E Chongyu has a good temper, twisting three black beards on his chin, turned his head and said with a smile, "Stop asking, we'll wait here for a while." This sentence is Said to that entourage.

"Yes, Lord Hou."

Zhi Xun respectfully replied, and then stood silently behind E Chongyu like an iron tower, not moving, not speaking, not indifferent, and really answered his name.

Cang Kong didn't like this follower very much, and felt that he really didn't look like a practitioner.So he simply ignored this person, cupped his hands and asked Nanbohou E Chongyu: "Dare to ask Lord Hou, why did the court make such a decree to make the two gods enshrined by incense burn together?"

This is also where Cang Kong has always found it weird.Ordinarily, the mortal court naturally has no control over the matters of the gods.And the real immortals are at ease, and they should not pay attention to such child's play wishes in the mortal world.To deal with it so solemnly and solemnly as Yun Zhongzi and Dong Jun simply destroyed the detached image of a practitioner in Cang Kong's heart.

Originally, it was most appropriate to ask Yun Zhongzi this question, but when Dong Jun came, Cang Kong couldn't ask.Chen Yi boy is ignorant of world affairs, so asking him is useless.So in contrast, asking Nan Bohou E Chongyu is the most suitable choice at present.

☆, Di Xin, a young man with secondary disease

"May I ask Lord Hou, why did the imperial court make such a decree to unite the two gods enshrined in incense?"

Hearing Cang Kong's question, E Chongyu showed a wry smile: "Well, the Taoist leader must have lived in the mountains for a long time, and he doesn't know something about His Majesty who is now facing the court..."

From Nan Bohou E Chongyu's narration, Cang Kong gradually understood something, or understood one person: Di Xin.This person—how should I put it—is a standard emperor of the Qin Emperor and Han Dynasty.

First of all, he did have the great achievements that an emperor should have.After Emperor Xin came to the throne, he encouraged farmers to be diligent in political affairs, and the national strength of the Shang Dynasty was greatly strengthened.Three years later, Emperor Xin personally led the army to go out and together with Dongbohou Jiang Hengchu put down the Dongyi rebellion and solved the eastern border problem that had plagued Yin and Shang generations since Emperor Wuding.

Secondly, he also has the fault of an emperor, that is, he is arrogant.Especially for people like Di Xin, Qin Huang, and Han Wu, this problem is even more serious.Because they are both civil and military, talented and general, and their abilities are too much higher than those of their courtiers, they can't listen to advice at all. According to Ma Qian of Taishi Company: "Knowledge is enough to avoid admonition, and words are enough to cover up wrongs."Once such emperors reach middle age, they tend to become tyrannical, cruel, self-willed, and eventually make big mistakes, without exception.

In recent years, the national power of Yin and Shang has grown day by day, and the arrogance of Emperor Xin has become very obvious.The rulers of the Shang Dynasty originally believed that the royal family was the descendant of Haotian God, and they were called "Xiadi".Di Xin used this matter to the extreme, and the rituals of offering sacrifices to heaven became more grand every time.He himself called himself the "Son of God" in the ceremony, and he seemed to face the deacons and gods in the heaven with a tone of scolding his servants.They even regard the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven as an annual court meeting, and decide the sacrifice to the gods according to the "merits" of the year.

For example, this year, there was a severe drought in Yin, the old capital.Emperor Xin reprimanded the Dragon Lord of the Yellow River at the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the sky, and fined him with a year's incense salary (that is, the people are not allowed to worship the Dragon Lord of the Yellow River within one year), so as to see the effect.

As a modern person, Cang Kong just felt that Di Xin was a bit of a secondary school student.If it is placed on the courts of later generations, Di Xin's deeds can be described in four words: "appalling".However, there is a Grand Master Wen beside him, which means that Yin Shang has the support of Jiejiao.For the Heavenly Court system led by Haotian God, it is really possible to ignore it.

"If you say that, it is in line with his usual temperament that your majesty will marry the two gods." Cang Kong nodded, thinking that Di Xin's offense against Empress Nuwa in the future did not happen suddenly, but in fact, there were already foreshadowings in his character. .

"But how arrogant Di Xin is, and what does it have to do with Yun Zhongzi and his uncle's attitude? Lu Ya's father and uncle are dead, and of course there is no backing, but Yun Zhongzi's uncle is backed by a teacher, so there is no need to care about it." A human emperor supported by the teaching? Also, the uncle called me to say that the statue is facing damage and the cultivation base will regress. "

creak-

The door opened, and Cangkong felt that the barrier that blocked his consciousness disappeared.

"Nan Bohou, please come in and talk," Yun Zhongzi's voice came, "Cang Kong, Chen Yi, you two also come in to serve."

Cang Kong and Chen Yi stood in the house, and Nan Bohou's personal attendant stood by his side to inquire.Yun Zhongzi, Lu Yadaojun, and Nanbohou E Chongyu took their seats.

"Since Emperor Xin ascended the throne, he often likes to find the wrong place of the princes and cut down the nobles. Originally, the four major princes could restrain them a little bit, so as not to prevent the emperor's family from becoming dominant. Now Dongbohou Jiang Huanchu and Beibohou Chong Heihu are all relying on Dixin. Xibohou and I are also much more passive. We can't handle this matter well, I'm afraid..."

As soon as E Chongyu opened his mouth, Cang Kong understood what he meant—Di Xin wanted to cut down the vassals, strengthen the centralization of power, and consolidate the authority of the court, which was also in line with his talented and bold emperor character.According to his point of view from later generations, what Di Xin did was understandable, but it was a bit too early, and the social productive forces had not yet developed to the point where he could adapt.What's more, there are still monks in this world. Among other things, there must be some connection between Nan Bohou and Chanjiao. Otherwise, why would Yun Zhongzi be here?

"Nan Bohou, don't worry, the two of us have already discussed it properly." Lu Ya said. "I will never let Zishou catch you."

"Then... the court envoy said that Wu Zhu will come to witness the wedding in a few days..."

When Lu Ya heard the word "wedding", a red light flashed in his eyes, and the temperature in the room rose sharply, and then dropped sharply: "I've lost my composure, you should prepare for the reception yourself, don't lose your etiquette."

Glittering beads of sweat were already overflowing from E Chongyu's forehead, but he barely kept his demeanor, so he had to swallow all the words he had planned: "Then trouble the two Taoist priests." He got up and saluted, ready to take Stop asking and leave.

A conversation ended anticlimactically like this.

"That monk named Zhixun, I have a question to ask you." Boy Chen Yi said suddenly.he grew up in the mountains
