Chapter 87: Marquis Wu Fuqin Retires Ten Thousand Armies (Part 2)
Suddenly, a big news came from Jianchuan City: the famous Jianchuan merchant class plans to borrow the heroes to play the stage in three days and stage a new play.
This news is shocking.
Heroic Struggle is a symbol of Jianchuan's heroic spirit.
That is where heroes from all walks of life and death can resolve grudges and fight for life and death.
Of course, such magnificent buildings are never used. The Jianchuan Sword Review Conference every five years has always been held in the venue of the hero ring. Or it should be said that it is precisely because of the Sword Review Conference every five years that the hero ring is built so majestic.
The so-called Jianchuan Sword Review Conference is a grand event hosted by the three major sword sects, where famous sword-making masters from all over the world took out their own magical weapons forged within five years to jointly discuss sword-making skills.
Jianchuan is a city born in the spirit of swords. Holding a sword evaluation conference on the heroic ring is exactly where Qianqiu's chivalrous spirit lies. It is appropriate and natural.
However, how could a business class that has always abides by the rules of the world have a sudden idea of borrowing heroes as a stage?
Did Boss Cheng get crazy after losing his heart?
Then, something even more shocking happened.
Generally speaking, to borrow the heroic striking, the three largest sword-making workshops in Jianchuan City need to be decided, namely Hardware Hall, Gu Yueju, and Su Fengzhai.
However, the heads and masters of the three sword casting workshops have not yet discussed it. The first seat of Guangjue in Zhuchan Temple has opened Jinkou: a merchant class. It has always aimed at promoting the spirit of chivalrousness, which coincides with the significance of the heroic race, so they are allowed to borrow it.
If one of the three major sword sects makes a statement, the matter will be decided, and the heads of each sword-casting workshop have no objection.
But the situation not only did not calm down, but instead became more and more intense.
Although the business class is famous in Jianchuan and the boss of Xun is a popular idol, the jianghu actors are the jianghu actors. Could it be that the business class has a close relationship with Zhuchan Temple, which makes the monk Guangjue speak?
Immediately afterwards, a well-informed person reported: In fact, in recent years, Boss Cheng has often visited Zhuchan Temple to worship Buddha.
Ordinary people in the martial arts world cannot enter the Zhuchan Temple at the mountain gate. Boss Cheng can even come and go with him at will, which shows that there is a lot of mystery in it!
In fact, from the time when the merchant class proposed to borrow a heroic act, to the time when Master Guangjue opened his mouth to finalizing it, the time was not yet half a day. The Jianchuan heroes were talking about it while drinking at noon, and another heavyweight news came out in the afternoon.
Chen Qiusheng, a teacher at the Jianzhuyuan Book Department, said when he was drinking and tasting tea with his disciples at noon: "The business class will definitely be exciting, and I will never miss it."
Isn’t this mean that after three days, Mr. Qiu Sheng will come here in person?
What's going on...
Although the merchant class is secretly informed about the upcoming new drama, the heroes of Jianchuan are already in a hot topic and show their own methods, intending to get a ticket for the day.
There are also some people with agility who quickly focus their attention on another direction - Tianfengguan.
Two of the three major swordsmen have already spoken out. What is the attitude of Tianfengguan?
Sure enough, news came out before the evening that it was said that the third cousin of the second uncle of a hero, who was a distant relative of a hero, was a Taoist boy in Tianfeng Temple and heard the attitude of the deputy governor Yao Chengyan with his own ears.
Master Yao only said one word.
This word is thought-provoking, inspiring, and unfathomable.
He said: "Hmph——"
Is this agree or objection? Are you dissatisfied with the attitude of the other two sword sects, or is you dissatisfied with the arrogance of the merchant class? Or... he has other plans?
Yao Chengyan did have other plans, but this plan would never be presented to the heroes of the young and old in Jianchuan.
——…—
In the evening, Yao Chengyan was entertaining guests.
A guest from the Yuhuang Temple of the Western Qin Dynasty.
"Mr. Xiahou is here so fast!" Yao Chengyan praised. At this time, the news of King Shangwu's sword formation was only two days before it was announced. "I wonder what kind of Dharma Master Qiu Guan has?"
The Master Qiu Guan is naturally Qiu Di, the Master Yuhuang Guan Guan.
The young monk in front of Yao Chengyan was Qiu Di's little disciple, the Five Mountains generals, Xiahou Mo.
Xiahou Mo bowed and said, "King Shangwu has been waiting for a long time and finally borrowed the power of Yun Sect. It is indeed a problem. Since the Wind and Thunder Liuhe Sword Formation is very exquisite, we can only enter the game and find a way to grab the inheritance and make our Taoist sect grow stronger. My nephew came for this."
"Well. This inheritance is indeed not to be missed." Yao Cheng said with a tight hand, "King Shangwu's move is far better than before. His formation was prepared before, allowing all forces to observe the formation for a month, so he could naturally let outsiders smash his formation and ruin his wishful thinking. Now he threw out the bait without setting any obstacles, which made us unable to start, which is really annoying!"
"That's not necessarily the case." Xiahou Mo said with a smile.
"Oh?" Yao Chengyan was surprised, "What are the tricks for the nephew Xiahou?"
"It's not that my nephew has a clever plan, but that the master is in his heart." Xiahou Mo smiled and said, "The biggest backer of King Shangwu is just the lord of the Yunzong Sect who has just been named a god. But no matter what god wants to achieve, he needs to worship incense. While his divine body has not yet been condensed, we can spread Taoist doctrines around Guze so that he will not receive incense in the future.
"In this way, we can test what ambush King Shangwu has; second, we can slow down the practice speed of the new Dragon Lord; third, we can take this opportunity to openly install my Taoist sect near the ancient mountain of Shanlan. This is a wonderful strategy of three goals at one stroke!"
Yao Chengyan sighed after hearing this, "It's indeed a wonderful plan! Master Qiu Guan is really far-sighted!"
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but think that his grand vision master Xing Jiuqian seemed to be asking nothing except practice. After telling him about King Shangwu's actions, he just nodded and said "Oh", which was really annoying!
Humph, if you ignore such a big thing, don’t blame the old Taoist for joining the Jade Emperor Temple!
——…—
At this moment, the merchant brothers are rehearsing the "Empty City Plan" in full swing; the heroes of Jianchuan are looking forward to the big show that will be staged in three days; Xiahou Mo from the Jade Emperor View is heading to Jianchuan, and is planning a conspiracy to deal with King Shangwu. So... what about Yan Li?
Yan Li is actually very busy too.
After he finished his routine important tasks such as taking pills, practicing martial arts, nourishing qi, tasting tea, eating, etc., he finally started his leisure activities at night.
He took Guiyun and unconsciously climbed out the back wall of Chi Yunguan, heading west, finding the talisman paper carriage hidden in the bushes.
The two of them drove this semi-automatic carriage with a familiarity. Driven by ghost forces, they headed straight to the southwest and rushed to the depths of the ancient mountain lake.
Yan Li threw the driving work completely to Gui Yun, and took out yellow paper and cinnabar pen and drew the talisman in the car.
The cinnabar pen flipped in his hand, drawing mysterious curves, and finally formed a character bent and circled talisman, which was the Tianlong Cloud Seal.
This character Yunzhuan does have the charm of the real talisman on the gate of the outer courtyard of the Yunzong Sect, but its aura is too weak. If calculated based on the level of the talisman, it can only be a first-level talisman. However, the pure celestial dragon energy contained in it cannot be measured by the level of the talisman.
Yan Li painted three pictures in a row, then stopped and calmed down in the car to calm down.
His cultivation is still weak, and even painting three or five pieces of Tianlong Yunzhan like this is pressured. Fortunately, the advantage of the highest inheritance of the Yun Sect is that it is extremely fast to recover his energy. His breathing for just a few dozen breaths has already restored him to his original state.
The talisman carriage moves forward very quickly, not to mention the usual mud blocking the road, even on the water surface, it can easily float over, leaving only a circle of ripples on the water surface. By the time Yan Li finished breathing, the carriage had been running for dozens of miles.
Seeing that Yan Li had recovered, Gui Yun asked, "Sect Master, where are we going?"
"Well, Guiyun, you are so old, you have never done the trick of sucking bird eggs and poking honeycombs?" Yan Li smiled at her.
Gui Yun shook his head seriously. He is not old, but dogs develop much faster than humans and mature mentally earlier. This is especially true for the blood of demon spirits, especially the mental growth is far greater than that of ordinary humans, and he can learn various skills at a very young age.
Although Gui Yun turned into a human form, he was eleven or twelve years old. In fact, he was only four or five years old.
At the age of four or five, you must learn the inheritance of the cultivator and achieve success in your practice. You must also learn to draw talismans, refine alchemy, refine simple magic weapons, and other techniques. You can imagine what Guiyun looked like in his childhood.
"Hahaha..." Yan Li touched Gui Yun's head, "Now the Japanese sect leader will take you to have fun, and then go poke him a few wild honeycombs back, so it's not fun to see him."
"..." Gui Yun was speechless and whispered after a while, "The Sect Master does not need to consider Gui Yun. Gui Yunsheng is a mountain dog guarding the Yun Sect, and death is the soul of Yun Sect looking at the hometown, and having fun... The Sect Master's major affairs are important!"
"What's the big deal?" Yan Li asked back, "It's just a formation inheritance of the outer sect. Can a group of wasteful kids rack their brains for inheritance be considered a big deal for my Weiwei Yun Sect?"
"Well..." Gui Yun thought about it seriously, shook his head and said, "No."
Yun Sect, only disciples who understand the six true teachings can have status, and the others can only be called "outer sects".
The so-called outer door is standing outside the gate.
Although the Wind and Thunder Liuhe Sword Formation is strong, it is not among the Six True Traditions, so it only belongs to the category of the outer sect. How can it be considered a big deal if you can't even enter the main sect?
"Since it's not a big deal, it's the same level as digging bird eggs and poking honeycombs," Yan Li concluded.
"Oh." Gui Yun nodded convincedly, thinking: The sect leader is the sect leader, and the height of looking at the problem is indeed unique.
Of course, if it were people like Shang Shaoqing, Han Xi, Duan Yan, etc., I'm afraid they wouldn't think so.
King Shangwu’s Mid-Autumn Festival situation is like lying out a bird egg and poking a honeycomb?
Any normal person will have the urge to vomit blood after hearing this!
However, Yan Li's next sentence has profound meaning:
"For practitioners, what is important is never the event itself, but the truth within the event. You have also read the "Tao Te Ching" and you should know the principle of "the great way is inaction". However, "the great way is invisible and the "inaction" is so profound. How should we practitioners understand it?"
Gui Yun's eyes lit up, and he understood that this was the sect leader's preaching and that the opportunity was rare. However, after he thought about it carefully, he could not find any answer.
Tao can be told, it is extraordinary Tao.
If you can really tell it, how could it be the "Big Way"?
"Hahaha, if there is a way in heaven, it will never stop the road of people." Yan Li smiled and said, "The great way is inaction and everything is done. Since the great way of inaction has no trace to be found, how can we do the opposite? Do everything to the extreme and forget the world, then the great way will appear!
"This is my way!"
"So, poking a honeycomb is equally important as King Shangwu's trial. Come on, use your dog's nose to help the sect leader find a few top-notch honeycombs!"
What Yan Li didn't say is: the honeycomb that was poked back tonight will become a trump card for evil spirits!
