Chapter 016 – Lv Zu’s Last Words

Zhang Ju Xian had already come down from the mountain, personally presiding over the second set of the largest number of manpower to guard the mountain, the immortal master Wei Jin is responsible for the temple, can still stand at the mountain gate looking into the distance, better than nothing, it is already noon, the old man stood by the side of the talismanic mountain’s most exquisite woman Zhang Shangshan, Zhang Shangshan also never know why father to help her to take such a vulgar name, as for the mother who has never seen also have no way to talk about the sound of the mother, that is As for her mother, who she had never met and could never talk about her face and face, she was just the spirit tablet in the mountain shrine. When Mi Fengjie followed a mountain climbing beloved, returned to the Immortal Coffin Cave, Zhang Shangshan noticed that the situation seems to be a little more than expected, always the Taoist bone immortal style of the master of the crisis Wei Jin, also began to show a strong uneasiness, the old man who has lost the rusty finch tail, one hand on the mountain gate white jade plaque, hesitated for a moment, asked softly: “Shangshan, do you know who gave you the name back in the day? ”

Zhang Shangshan looked puzzled, “Was it not my deceased mother?”

Wei Jin shook his head, lamented: “Of course not, talisman mountain everyone knows that the teacher was once a capable lieutenant under the command of General Gu, these years for the teacher also laugh with you guys that the rapid retreat, is the means to protect oneself, in fact, it is not so, although General Gu disbanded all the full-fledged troops, but after all, it is the city of Tai’an to serve as the Secretary of the Department of the Army, the imperial court has never been on the great general! There have been unloading the idea of killing donkeys, so most of the Gu Department of the old generals, regardless of the years in the field, the days are living well, where there is a need to hide in order to avoid trouble, to enjoy the blessings are too late. Just the mountain old man was not much, and then went to pieces, the young people do not have a wide range of knowledge, what the teacher said also believe what. In fact, when the court weighed the pros and cons, and ultimately let Xu Snap instead of Gu DaGong sealed the king on the vassal Beiliang, are left behind, if it is Gu DaGong to do Beiliang king, Xu Snap when the Ministry of War, then the name of the JinJiShan talisman mountain, should be Xu Snap old department of the heart of the stand here.”

Zhang Shangshan’s jaw dropped and asked in a trembling voice, “Then my father?”

Wei Jin leapt over his head and laughed, “Your father, whose real name is Zhang Gonglian, is one of the six cavalry guards beside General Gu, and is a man who has personally slaughtered several great feudal kings in the Spring and Autumn period. Girl, these years you always dislike your father is not heroic enough, when a grass bandit is not really heroic, your father is a stomach of grievances but not good with people say ah, this secret, even you can not tell, was intended to bring into the coffin with the teacher.”

The old man mumbled to himself: “Golden Rooster Mountain in the military book is dead, several other places on the Northern Liang Road, according to reason than the Golden Rooster Mountain to be able to live around some, but without exception to Xu Snap that crippled easily pulled out, every eradication of a crippled, Xu Crippled to put out the word, and the imperial court to war horses to be transported to grain to be paid, Zhao family of heaven and could not help but give. This is probably the bottom of the man butcher, in his eyes, not how you want to play how to play? Qianshan side, no surprise has died a lot of people, and such things, has long been happening a lot of piles, many like the teacher and your father such as anonymity rooted for many years of spies, are only to endure, until death. These temple bigwigs in the palace exam behind the plot out of the hook, in the end, or with our lives piled up, for the teacher watched those to death are kept in the dark young people, one by one to die, far away from the city of Tai’an, naturally there are also wearing one or two official uniforms of the famous secretary of the giant public in the cold eyes of the teacher and your father, waiting for the death of the spy, in addition to the great general of the Gu, the frowns of those guys will not wrinkle a little bit. ”

The old man retracted his hand, rubbed the woman’s head, sad: “So ah, these think about it is not happy things, the grudges of the previous generation of right and wrong, before are not willing to let you know. The general once praised your father has talent, but also thought to take him into the Ministry of War, to the capital to show ambition or not, stable retirement also, are worth the common envy of the fortunate, just your father a tendon, resentment of the court does not give the great general to seal the king, just to give a shit in the Ministry of War, as for what the world is known at the beginning of the eight to the capital to seal the upper column of the state, is not even more humiliating to the great general? Your father is not angry, with the teacher ran here. Even if the great general left the capital to lead the northern military government, but also had people send a secret letter to your father to accompany him to go to the two Liao, but your father disliked there is Xu crippled the Dragon Xing land, more importantly, is afraid of you, this niece, is not used to the snow and ice there than the north of the Liang, no matter how to persuade the teacher, he did not go.”

A whistle fire from the talisman back mountain ran to the mountain door, delivered a news that can be called bad news, Wei Jin just nodded, not too much shock, sighed, said: “girl, you should know the answer, your name, is the great general that year to take, originally actually also said well, you grow up to marry his youngest son, will be the daughter-in-law of the Gu family. ”

Zhang Shangshan, who had been frozen, asked, “Master, what did the whistle say just now?”

Wei Jin said bitterly, “As soon as Mi Fengjie left, my master knew that the big deal was not good, and as expected, those government soldiers in the front mountain are simply a blindfold, the head of the mountain is the main one, the General of Youzhou, Huangfu Ping, has personally led his army to come, and there are more than a hundred border crossbowmen alone, which is not comparable to scouts under the jurisdiction of the territory’s E army. It has also entered the mountains.”

Zhang Shangshan’s face was immediately ashen.

Wei Jin exuded a look of resignation, “I also wonder, this mountain seems to be a dead place, in fact, the offense and defense are out of balance, in the general situation of Youzhou is not critical, when the great general who transported the troops into the gods let your father come here, obviously also has a selfish motive. How did it arouse the interest of that madman Huangfu Ping?”

Zhang Shangshan painfully asked, “Master, is there a traitor on the mountain?”

The old man smiled bitterly, “It doesn’t matter. Everywhere, there are people who are greedy and afraid of death.”

Zhang Shangshan foolishly asked, “Master, why don’t we let father surrender? If we don’t fight, no one will die.”

The old man did not get angry or disappointed, shaking his head and blandly saying, “Silly daughter, people will die just the same if we don’t fight, the Han family in Jizhou, which was full of loyalists, died out. Beiliang Xu family also died a lot of people outside the battlefield, even that once worldly son of his highness almost died. To speak from my conscience, my master has been staring at that Beiliang Xu cripple for almost twenty years before realizing that it would be fortunate if our Great General were to become the King of Beiliang.”

Zhang Shangshan was about to speak, Wei Jin knocked his finger and flicked the woman’s eyebrow, she immediately fainted, the young man with a young golden monkey crouching on his shoulder held her up, Wei Jin calmly said, “First, take the young lady to a secret room to hide. Hou Xiashan, even if you die, you have to die before you send the young lady to the two Liao. Your life, and this name of yours, are all given to you by the Talisman Mountain, it’s time to repay the debt.”

The young man’s eyes were resolute, he nodded, carried the woman of his choice, walked past the mountain gate pagoda, and was about to go to the secret passage that only three people in the entire Talisman Mountain knew about, he only became this third person yesterday, only he, Hou Xiashan, didn’t think that he would be able to use this way of retreat so soon.

Hou Xiashan suddenly stopped in his tracks, as if he was facing a great enemy. Wei Jin also frowned, subconsciously twirling his whiskers, staring at the young man who blocked the way, Bishan County’s young master, a general’s seed descendant who should be embroidered and pillowed. Wei Jin walked up, and Hou Xiashan side by side, softly laughed: “Guessed that you are not quite right, but I am really old and dim, but I did not see that the Lord Xu is still a God’s will convergence to reach the master of no traces, it is true that the deep hiding is not exposed to be considered as a real master, I am old and clumsy, I hope that the Lord Xu has a large amount of connotations a few ah.”

Xu Fengyen had already returned to his senses, earlier Fan Xiaochai’s attack was tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, she was still quite sober, after a fruitless strike, she threw away her sword and knelt down inside the house, and assumed the posture of waiting for death with her hands tied. Wang Shiwei heard the wall cracking movement, broke the door, the result is to see such a treacherous scene, is very turn around, this man was listening to the courtyard maid gossip, said about living next door to the beautiful female devil to Xu Qi is very good, at the expense of Wei Xianshi made a life and death, with the power of one person with the entire talisman mountain enemy, but also want to protect his life. But hitting the wall and arriving, then kneeling without speaking, what is this mess? Wang Shihui broke his head and could not understand, could it be that he was too old to understand the love affairs of the younger generation? Or that the female devil in the jianghu like young handsome method, are all so swinging and sensational? Wang Shimi also dare not make a move, Fan Xiaochai kneeling silent, Xu Qi closed his eyes to recuperate, he Wang Shimi this certain death has nothing to do, simply squatting in the doorway, but also go to the table to carry a pot of wine, intermittent sip a few mouthfuls. Xu Fengyen back to the beginning of God, got out of bed and Wang Shimi smiled, did not explain what, Wang Shimi is also interested not to ask, just think of it as this Xu brother looks handsome to the outrageous realm, can let the woman go crazy.

Xu Fengyen has seen the talisman mountain qi gathering and dispersing, but also take advantage of the situation to make their own qi slightly thick a few points, invariably make up for the loss of the restaurant’s tenth forced out of the body traveled to the North Mang, to his level, the depth of the qi in the pond is not vital, like a rich “side” of the magnate, already do not have to think of Relying on the open source of income and expenditure to increase the thickness of the family, but focus on seizing the foothold of that “side” of the wealth outside. When the scroll of the first grade of martial arts gradually spread, stretching to the end of the heavenly image of the magnificent picture, and even the world’s eyes of the last layer of the realm of the Immortals, it can be known that the so-called land immortals, there are still some of the rules of the constraints, Xu Fengyen is now to do is to sort out the veins and pull out the cocoon, get rid of these rules and regulations, to achieve the real free roam. This is the second sister Xu Weixiong let go of Xu Fengyen have this trip to the rouge county lazy focus, deliberately let him not think about what the military and state affairs, take a look at more than not so high above the plight of the people, take a look at more than the common people of Beilang the firewood, rice, oil, and salt, and more determined to his Xu Fengyen in the end in the guardianship of what, guardianship of which people, to his Xu Fengyen know that he this king of Beilang is not for the sake of the Xu family, or even for the sake of Xu Snapdragon and go to carry the The burden.

Life in the world, always think of climbing to the highest place, a glimpse of the mountains, but few people look back at the bottom of the mountain, and even less people will walk back to the foot of the mountain, Wudang Hong washed the elephant is not the same, so he is a step that the heavenly image, and then a step that the immortal. Xu Fengyen sixth out of mind, had gone to the small lotus peak, sitting on the back of the turtle camel, leaning against the monument to look up at the sky, but no matter how he tried to pry into the heavens, but unfortunately, always with little success.

“Although stopping at the place where the cone is standing, the gods have traveled millions of miles.” “Don’t ask me where I come from and what world I come from, but think about where I’m going to meet who.”

Xu Fengyen only figured out these two sentences very late, and these two sentences were exactly the last words of Hong Zaixiang that were engraved on the stone monument before he was disbanded.

At the talisman mountain gate, Xu Fengyen turned sideways and let Hou Xiashan, who had not yet descended from the mountain, carry Zhang Shangshan up the mountain.

Wei Jin was worried, Xu Fengyen walked to the bottom of the pagoda, Wei Jin stood beside him, Xu Fengyen opened his mouth and said: ”Wang Shimui is the head of the Qingzheng County’s patrol, senior Wei may not know that, as for the death of heart Yama Shen Li is a spy that the General of Youzhou has bribed with a lot of money, I only just found out about it, Huangfu Ping wants to move Talisman Mountain and the Immortal Coffin Grotto, he originally thought of astringing the jianghu of Youzhou and purging the jianghu of Youzhou, in order to please the King of Beilang with a pandering move. The king of Beiliang’s pandering initiative. My ascent to the mountain was a very unexpected thing, and as for the hidden identities of Senior Wei and Master Zhang, it was even more of an unexpected surprise. Not to hide from senior, my ascent to the mountain has indeed accelerated the overthrow of the two mountains, and originally it would have been about half a year’s light before Huangfu Ping would make his move.”

Wei Xianshi, who had been holding back due to the lack of complete certainty, narrowed his eyes and laughed, “Yo, I told you that this guy’s roots are clear and strange, and he hit the nail on the head! It’s really a big fish with a scary identity, isn’t it? Is he the son of the Secretary Li Gongde, Li Hanlin? If not, I really can’t think of any other young man on the Northern Liang Road that deserves General Youzhou’s personal attention.”

Xu Fengnian smiled, “It’s not far off.”

Wei Jin frowned, “The grandson of the Northern Mang Beiyuan Daowang, Xu Beihao?”

Xu Fenian laughed, “Assassin Xu can even point his nose at me. Elder Wei, don’t guess. Why don’t you accompany me on a trip to the Immortal Coffin Cave? Along the way, I have some stale past events that happened during the Spring and Autumn Period that I want to ask your old man about.”

Wei Jin glanced at the young man with a slanting eye, his heart had already turned upside down, he was considered to be familiar with the secret arts of the Taoist sect, and he had innate worries about recognizing qi, but he still couldn’t know the level of this person’s realm with any certainty. If the old man does not dare to make a reckless move, where is the mood to chat with him about this nonsense.

Xu Fengyen glanced at the several falcons in the distant sky and said, “If we don’t go any further, I’m afraid we won’t be able to see the dying grace of Mi Fengjie, the new Finger Xuan Swordsman.”

This appalling insider news finally made Wei Jin’s years of cultivation and nourishment of good repression, the kind of sand field battle honed by the violent nature, all surfaced.

Just do not wait for Wei Jin shot, on all things are off.

A woman with a compassionate face full of even more immortal Buddha gas slowly walked up the mountain, looked at Xu Fengyen and softly said, “Mi Fengjie escaped.”

Xu Fengyen laughed in anger and said, “He is the big fish that our Youzhou General has spotted, you go and catch him instead.”

The woman used a slender red rope to tie up her head full of green silk, braided like a ponytail casually pulled on her neck, she stretched out her fingers and gently wiped over the soft hair hanging to her chest, her eyes calm.

Xu Fengyen really do not have that thick skin to take her as a maid, for this female Bodhisattva’s standoffishness, can only laugh it off, and then toes a little, a flash and pass away.

Wei Jin is also counted in the vicissitudes of the old undead old man, after all, compared to the pseudonym of Zhang Juxian Zhang Gonglian are older generation, but around the young man said disappeared on the disappearance, not to mention the absence of signs, after the fact, more than not the slightest qi ups and downs, is simply compared to hear Mi Fengjie silently among the first grade of finger Xuan realm is also unimaginable!

Sinking Sword Cave Lord did not have any hesitation, lost his lair, pack sword thirty-six, fleeing for his life.

Trees move to death, people move to life.

He had toiled at the threshold of the first rank realm for sixteen years, realizing the twenty-four swords that he considered to be full of intent, before he crossed that step, but after that, it only took him two years to become a Finger Xuan in one fell swoop! In just two years, twelve new swords were acquired!

He neither wanted to follow that Western Shu Sword Emperor to fight the Northern Liang Iron Cavalry, nor did he want to give someone to hold Qingliang Mountain and be a lackey for that young feudal king.

Then he gave a young man who had previously met on Talisman Mountain to stop him, and listened to him say an inexplicable speech, “You Mi Fengjie have this situation, originally is not your deserved, and that Qingcheng King is generally the same, are borrowed from the North Liang here.”
