On the Importance of Chinese Characters
Chapter 136
When Yangming entered the main hall, Gan Danqing happened to swallow a pill with his head up, a strange blush appeared on his pale face, this strange color only lasted for a while, after a while, his whole face became rosy again Kang Jian stand up.
Yangming couldn't help but paused, and called out worriedly: "Master..."
Gan Danqing waved at him lovingly, and comforted him: "It's okay, my old bones can still hold on."
Yangming didn't speak, the worry still couldn't be concealed between his brows.
Gan Danqing also knew that it was useless to say what he just said, so he stopped mentioning it and turned to the real business: "I called you here because your elder brother will return to the palace to report on his duties soon after the 30-year period expires. The next time I come back, I plan to keep him in the palace, and as for the position of inspector of Beijing Foreign Studies University, I want you to take over."
It is no secret that the inspectors in the palace are looking for new inspector candidates when the term of office of inspectors in Beiwai is approaching. It is no secret among the upper echelons of the peaks today, and Yangming has naturally heard about it.
At this juncture, Gan Danqing called him suddenly. Yangming had prepared himself before Yangming came. Now that Gan Danqing said it, he was not surprised. He immediately bowed and saluted: "Yes."
Gan Danqing smiled: "You are now 11 years old. When you were 200 years old, you were taken under the leadership of the fifth child. It has been nearly [-] years. I used to think that you were young and willful. I always want to keep you in the palace. But Baopu Palace always needs successors, you and Luo Jiang are people I have high hopes for, and if you want to sit on the position of Palace Master, you have to convince everyone."
"Your prestige in the palace has been unmatched by anyone in recent years, but among the 28 territories under the palace's jurisdiction, you are not as good as Luojiang. You two and I are impartial. Now that Luojiang is returning to the palace, you are going out on patrol. Supervisor. When I abdicate, whoever has the higher prestige inside and outside the palace will be the next Palace Master of Baopu Palace."
??
The plan is not as fast as the change. Yangming's job change disrupted Zhuang Yunzhou and Fang Qiling's next arrangements.
As a rubbing master who can successfully rub the first-level source treasure, Zhuang Yunzhou is completely ready to become a master during the rubbing process. He originally wanted to find a suitable time to explain it to Yangming.
As a rubbing master, he is fully qualified to choose an unowned small peak in the palace as his future dojo, set up his own family, and start fighting for the right to speak.This is related to the unique palace environment of Baopu Palace.
Baopu Palace occupies almost a thousand peaks in the entire Baopu Mountain Range, but anyone who has reached the realm of a lord can apply to the palace to claim a peak alone.However, once one becomes the master of a peak, except for the resources regularly allocated by the palace in accordance with the usual practice, the peak master has to be responsible for all the other materials.
Recruiting elders, selecting disciples, and even distributing the salaries of the deacons, boys, and maids stationed in the palace are all things that the peak master needs to worry about.
And according to the principle of unity of rights and obligations, that is, accepting the allocation of resources in the palace, each peak naturally has contribution tasks to complete.For example, Yangming's Forgetting Dao Peak receives Yuanshu rubbing tasks every year, and Yang Changming's Nourishing Medicine Peak is naturally assigned to the cultivation of elixir and spiritual things.
Outsiders thought that all the origin technique treasures and elixirs were borne by Wangdao Peak and Yangyao Peak, but this was actually not accurate.In fact, these two peaks are not the only ones that produce the treasures and elixirs of the origin technique in Baopu Palace, but because the products of Wangdao Peak and Yangyao Peak are more guaranteed, the two peaks have a greater reputation, so people don’t know about Baopu Palace. The people who operate are misinformed.
The pressure of competition between mountains is not small, and the principle of survival of the fittest is also common in Baopu Palace. Many peak owners who can't wait to set up their own houses can't survive with the resources in the palace because they don't have an independent business, and there are fewer and fewer disciples. , the elders and deacons find other ways, and sometimes even the peak master himself will be recruited by other peaks.
Therefore, it is actually not easy for people without any capital and strength to lead the way.
And Zhuang Yunzhou wanted to use the fastest speed to win the right to speak, and leading the peak alone was indeed the best way.After all, being able to be the lord of a peak in the palace means that one has a certain right to speak. As long as one works hard and expands the influence of one's own peak, one will naturally be able to grasp more information.
But once Yangming becomes the patrol envoy of Beiwai in Baopu Palace, he cannot escape the fate of being arrested.
Yangming is a quick-tempered person who doesn't like excitement, and Zhuang Yunzhou is the only student under his sect.Since ancient times, when the master was busy and his disciples did his best, Yangming definitely wanted to take him to serve as a helper.
When it comes to the post of Northern Patroller, one has to mention the power of Baopu Palace in the spirit people.
Baopu Palace was established in the Baopu Mountains for 6000 years, and is located at the junction of the east, north and middle borders.Relying on the Baopu Mountains and the ancestor source of the word 'Yu', the forces radiate to the east, north, and middle areas close to the mountains.
For thousands of years, Baopu Palace has recruited many disciples.Because the mountains are covered by the ancestors, ordinary people can't find them, so many spirit clan lords sent their descendants to the palace gate to receive education in advance, and the lords of many territories were Baopumen.Baopu Palace has always been united, and the disciples have a strong sense of belonging, and the next generation will follow.
After thousands of years of evolution from generation to generation, there are now 28 lords who are secretly attached to Baopu Palace, abide by the rules of Baopu Palace, enjoy the support and protection of Baopu Palace, and the industries of Baopu Palace are spread all over the 28 territories.
Even Yangming's master, Gan Danqing's fifth apprentice, Pu Qianyan, is the second son of the Lord Bingchuan of the Central Realm.However, after Yang Ming, the closed disciple, also left his teacher, he no longer resided in Baopu Palace and returned to the Bingchuan collar. Not surprisingly, he was the next candidate for the leader of the Bingchuan collar, and now he is the one who maintains Baopu Palace. It exists as a bridge with the territory.
The situation of the other 27 territories is not much different from that of Bingchuan Territory.
As the patrol envoy of Beiwai, Yang Ming's duty is to patrol the six territories of Beidi, not only to investigate illegal and disobedient affairs, but also to maintain the relationship between the younger generation in the palace and the next generation in the territory.
Therefore, based on this alone, Zhuang Yunzhou couldn't escape.
Moreover, because the higher the cultivation base of the spiritual race, the longer the life expectancy, Yangming's term is 30 years. Before Yangming really gains a foothold, Zhuang Yunzhou will never be too far away from the Northland.
Therefore, Baopu Palace's attack plan had to be shelved first.
And Fang Qiling, who had just established a relationship with him, naturally couldn't let his monk leave alone for so long, so he turned around and went to Jingbo.
Jing Bo quietly glanced at his apprentice, then suddenly stretched out his hand and patted him dozens of times in quick succession.Fang Qiling only felt that tiny clusters of source air penetrated into his air pocket like a mouse drilling a hole, and quickly ran back and forth along his meridians.
After inspecting the apprentice's cultivation status, Jing Bo didn't say whether he agreed or disagreed, but only lightly ordered: "Follow up."
Fang Qiling followed him in a daze, and after wandering around with him, he finally found Yangming on a peak who was drinking by himself facing a mountain stream.
"If senior brother agrees, you can go." After saying this, Jing Bo closed his mouth and stopped talking.
"..." Master, I wonder if you, old man, have you noticed that Master Yangming seems to be in a bad mood?
Fang Qiling stared at Jingbo speechlessly, expressing that he didn't really want to go forward, after all, Master Yangming's dislike of him was always on the surface.
Seeing his apprentice being so cowardly, Jing Bo frowned in dissatisfaction, raised his leg without saying a word, and just kicked, Fang Qiling was startled and stepped back, and heard Yangming's cold voice: "What's the matter?"
……Fine.
Fang Qiling had no choice but to salute the ducks on the shelves: "I have seen the teacher. I heard that the teacher will go north soon. I don't know if Qiling can accompany him? Maybe I can gain some experience and knowledge."
Yang Ming glanced at Jing Bo, who was standing silently, and took a sip of wine with his head up. Unexpectedly, he didn't directly refuse, and asked without turning his head: "Mingzi or Anzi?"
Anzi is the secret name of the law enforcement hall in the palace, and the law enforcement team members sent out by the palace to investigate secretly are called Anzi.Fang Qiling only understood Yangming's question to three points, and he didn't know exactly what he was referring to.
However, this was not meant for him.
Jing Bo replied behind him: "Anzi, you have an advantage in your status."
Yangming's hand holding the wine bottle paused, then turned his head: "What do you mean?"
Jing Bo's face remained unchanged, with a cold face: "As a monk in Yunzhou, it is only natural for Qi Ling to go with him."
Yangming's face froze for a moment, and he stood up slowly: "Why?"
The source of oppression rose from him, and the aura looked a little terrifying.Fang Qiling, who is not afraid of anything but always inexplicably feels that he is a head short in front of Yangming, looks away and can't help but swallow his saliva.
"Cultivator." Jing Bo calmly repeated it as if he didn't feel the imminent atmosphere.
The death stare fell on Fang Qiling in an instant. Although his heart trembled, Fang Qiling held on, and saluted neither humble nor overbearing: "I and Yunzhou have communicated with each other. You are so thin, those who have not reported to the teacher, please do not blame the teacher!"
"Hehe." Yangming laughed twice, and suddenly made a space cut and went straight to Jingbo.His apprentice fell in love with each other as much as I wanted, and Yang Ming knew that he had no reason to object, but not objecting didn't mean that he couldn't vent his unhappiness.
Fang Qiling is a junior, he doesn't bully the small with the big, so naturally he has to find the old bastard who taught this little bastard.
Jing Bo wasn't surprised by Yang Ming's reaction at all. When the Space Slash just came out, he had already expected that General would lighten his foot, and dodge away from where he was standing just now.
Yangming sneered again, raised his right hand slightly, and the source force waved in the palm of his hand.
Seeing this, Jing Bo raised his eyebrows, turned around and jumped towards the mountain stream without saying a word, his figure fell into the thick sea of clouds, turned and disappeared.
Yang Ming snorted angrily, and followed closely behind. The two masters jumped off the cliff one after another. For a while, Fang Qiling was left alone on the top of the mountain, blowing the cold wind. He calmly glanced at the mountain stream, and left wisely. .
Where this battle was fought and how it went, Fang Qiling had no idea.
Jing Bo didn't return to Shouzhuo Peak until evening, although his clothes were torn in a few places and his face didn't change from usual, Fang Qiling felt that he seemed to be in a good mood, so he tentatively asked: "Master, how is it? "
Jing Bo nodded and told him: "Follow me to Chongfa Peak tomorrow to learn something."
Chongfa Peak, where the main hall of the Law Enforcement Hall is located, many people who want to go on missions will go to Chongfa Peak before leaving.
At this point, Fang Qiling finally understood the conversation between the two masters.
As Master Yangming, as the northern patrol, the Hall of Law Enforcement will definitely send someone to assist.Mingzi is the law enforcement officer who follows the teacher on the surface, and Anzi is the person who disguises his identity and secretly mobilizes.
As the master of the Hall of Law Enforcement, the master took himself to find the teacher, which in itself explained his attitude, and the teacher's question about "bright son and dark son" was making the final measurement.
Now that Master has asked him to go to Chongfa Peak to study, it means that Master Yangming not only agreed to go with him, but even his relationship with Yunzhou took the opportunity to pass Minglu.
Having figured everything out, Fang Qiling immediately became courteous: "Master, are you thirsty? You can drink tea!"
Looking at the apprentice who sprinted like a monkey to serve tea and beat his back and shoulders, Jing Bo couldn't help smiling.
But when he returned to Wangdao Peak, Yangming, who was full of anger, ordered his apprentice to come, without saying anything, he directly gave him a lot of homework.
Information about the lords of the six northern territories, family inheritance, interpersonal relationships, local customs, folk etiquette, etc., all these things that did not need such a quick cramming teaching were all stuffed in his head.
Zhuang Yunzhou didn't know what happened yet, no matter how much homework Yang Ming assigned, he obediently took it.
Yangming has a villain in his heart, how could such a good apprentice be cheated away?Once he becomes a monk, his apprentice will definitely have his own small home, and will move away from Wangdao Peak at that time...
accurate!
Yangming couldn't help but paused, and called out worriedly: "Master..."
Gan Danqing waved at him lovingly, and comforted him: "It's okay, my old bones can still hold on."
Yangming didn't speak, the worry still couldn't be concealed between his brows.
Gan Danqing also knew that it was useless to say what he just said, so he stopped mentioning it and turned to the real business: "I called you here because your elder brother will return to the palace to report on his duties soon after the 30-year period expires.
