Chapter 128: Snow Ridge Wine Shop (Subscription Requested)
Although this is very different from Chu Xian's previous calculations, if he can go to Dinghai County, Liangzhou four years in advance, he will have enough time to plan and how to deal with the invasion of the demon clan.
Therefore, Chu Xian was not disgusted by this appointment, but was very willing to go.
As for the so-called 'official career death', Chu Xian didn't take it seriously at all, he has a way, even if it is in a remote place, it is difficult for others to get a promotion opportunity, but he has a way to create opportunities to be promoted, as long as he is willing, he can use his own method to transfer out of Liangzhou, or even promote an official to a product, the so-called official career death place, can not trap people like Chu Xian at all.
It was impossible for Feihe to pass the book, but he could have someone send a letter to Jingzhou, so Chu Xian wrote a letter to Cui Huanzhi very carefully, and asked the messenger to send it away the next day.
In the following time, Chu Xian was still cultivating behind closed doors, eating openly, and had nothing else to do.
Ling Xiang'er was taken away by her ghost-faced mother-in-law, and she disappeared, the former number one beauty in the Hazy Moon Pavilion has been replaced by other women, and in the land of wind and moon, there is no shortage of beautiful and talented women.
Shen Ziyi invited Chu Xian to eat once, but only once, at the dinner table, Shen Ziyi told Chu Xian that his father and mother were really playing this time, and if he wanted to study hard, he must be admitted to the list in the township examination in the coming year, so there will be no time to eat flowers and wine in the future.
As for the inspection department, the officials who stayed behind had already noticed Zhou Fang's 'disappearance', and not only reported the Fengcheng official talisman, but also searched for a few days.
Naturally, none of them were found in the end.
According to Chu Xian's previous inference, Zhou Fang was taken away by Monk Luguang, most of which was more than lucky, but Chu Xian didn't bother to care about this matter.
Just a few days later, the official official document of the Ministry of Officials also arrived in Fengcheng.
On the day the official document arrived, Chu Xian's official product was upgraded from the ninth grade to the eighth grade, and the holy power of the official code was once again blessed in the air, and Chu Xian's official power was also improved a lot, and the words on the fish-shaped official talisman also changed.
The news of Chu Xian's 'promotion' immediately spread throughout the Inspection Division, and everyone was envious and jealous at first, but after knowing that Chu Xian was transferred to the land of Liangzhou, it became pity and pity.
Who doesn't know that that place is the place where the official career is dead, which is equivalent to the concubine being beaten into the cold palace, and I am afraid that there is no possibility of turning over.
Rumors such as Chu Xian offending people also began to go viral.
However, Chu Xian ignored these, and on this day, he received a letter from Cui Huanzhi from Feihe, and obviously the letter written by Chu Xian was also received by Cui Huanzhi.
In the biography, Cui Huanzhi expressed his support for Chu Xian's choice, and even told Chu Xian that this time he would be regarded as practicing outside, and as long as he had the opportunity, he would use his connections to transfer Chu Xian to leave Liangzhou.
Chu Xian smiled, obviously Cui Huanzhi really cared about him.
Chu Xian planned to leave immediately and go to Liangzhou to take office.
Before leaving, Chu Xian wrote a letter to his family, which was nothing more than telling his mother about his current situation and asking her not to worry, in addition, Chu Xian also wrote a letter to Xu Duanfei, asking about the current situation in Linxian County, the recent situation of his mother, and asking Xu Duanfei to write a letter back to him.
After doing this, Chu Xian called Qi Chengxiang.
"Chief Qi Dao, my order, you know, right?" Chu Xian asked, Qi Chengxiang nodded, who doesn't know now that although Chu Xian has been promoted to one level, he will be transferred to the land of Liangzhou, and as a county official, he can bring two retinues, and now everyone is afraid that Chu Xian will let some of them follow, so they have been avoiding Chu Xian for the past few days, for fear that Chu Xian will choose them.
"My lord, I know. Qi Chengxiang nodded.
Chu Xian said again: "I have already arranged it, Chief Qi Dao, you will stay in the Inspection Division, and the responsibilities will be assigned by Brother Yan Ji." ”
Qi Chengxiang shook his head at this time: "Brother Li has confessed, where the adults go, I will go." ”
Chu Xian smiled: "Now everyone else avoids me like a plague god, just because the errands in Liangzhou are not easy to do, and there are almost no promotion channels, even so, why do you bother to go with me? ”
Qi Chengxiang also smiled: "Not to mention that adults are witty and talented, even if they arrive in Liangzhou, they will inevitably have a bright day, even if they don't, Qi will swear to follow the adults to the death, without regrets." ”
Chu Xian nodded and did not persuade again.
He didn't want to bring Qi Chengxiang at first, it was indeed for the consideration of the other party, but in fact, it was also good for him to bring Qi Chengxiang, first, Qi Chengxiang's loyalty was undoubted, and his martial arts were very high, so he could use it, and secondly, Chu Xian took office in a different place as a new official, and he must have trustworthy subordinates around him, otherwise he is a bare-rod county official, and when the time comes, who will care?
So in the previous question, Chu Xian was just looking at Qi Chengxiang's attitude.
Before leaving, Chu Xian still went to Shen Ziyi to say goodbye, Shen Ziyi is Xiao Yuzhongshu's nephew, and he will definitely be able to use it in the future, and this relationship must of course be grasped.
In addition, Chu Xian didn't do anything superfluous, and directly took Qi Chengxiang to get up.
Except for a few officials of the Inspection Department who admired Chu Xian on weekdays, the others, such as the chief secretary of the Inspection Department, did not even show their faces at all.
When leaving Fengcheng, Chu Xian glanced back, the past of the previous investigation in Fengcheng was still vivid, but these were all left behind by Chu Xian at this moment, and then turned around, and left without looking back.
......
Liangzhou is located in the northwest, and it is the westernmost state of the Tiantang Holy Dynasty, even if Chu Xian and Qi Chengxiang traveled day and night, when they entered the boundary of Liangzhou, it took a month.
The horses alone have changed several times along the way.
At this moment, it is already November, the north is in winter, Liangzhou is even colder, it began to snow in the middle of the night yesterday, and at noon the next day, it has become a goose feather, although Chu Xian and Qi Chengxiang are both martial artists in the acquired realm, strong physique, abundant qi and blood, but they also have to wear warm clothes, fortunately, the post stations along the road are prepared, Chu Xian is an official, these can be used at will.
On the boundary of Liangzhou, in front of Gushuling, there is a roadside wine shop.
The snow is too big, and Chu Xian has already heard the people of the post station say that this is the last place to rest before entering the ancient tree ridge, and further on, it is more than eighty miles of the ancient tree ridge, if it is on weekdays, it is easy to say, but when it snows, you must be ready, eat and drink enough before you can leave.
Qi Chengxiang patted the falling snow on his body, settled the horses, and then pushed open the door of the wine shop, and Chu Xian followed him in.
Unlike the heavy snow outside, this wine shop is very lively. The liquor shop was very large, only one floor, and there were a few charcoal fires burning in the room, and around seven or eight large tables, twenty or thirty people were around.
Looking at the dress, they are all in a hurry, and there are also nearby hunters, but in this weather, you can't hunt anything when you go out, so it's better to hide in this hot wine shop to drink wine and eat meat.
Chu Xian and Qi Chengxiang came in, without attracting the attention of many people, they all did their own things and ate their own food.
found two empty seats, the two sat down, and asked Xiao Er for two pots of wine, two dishes of meat, and some stews.
"My lord, after passing the Ancient Tree Ridge in front, you will be able to reach the boundary of the Foggy Mountains in two days. Qi Chengxiang poured Chu Xian a glass of wine at this time and whispered.
Chu Xian nodded, drank all the wine in the cup, this month of running, even he was a little tired, and Chu Xian was not only running around, as long as it was the time to stay overnight, he was not idle, he was all practicing the 'Distraction Imperial Golden Decision'.
In January, Chu Xian actually miraculously broke through to the stage of 'night tour'.
The out-of-body realm is divided into five stages, visualizing the gods, observing the five organs, opening the heavenly acupoints, night travel, daytime out-of-body travel, reaching the night travel stage, you can already get out of the body, but you can only avoid the daylight and go out of the body at night.
Distracting the Imperial Gold Technique, the emphasis is on controlling the gold and iron, just like Cui Huanzhi can move the iron clock, but in terms of the imperial gold, Chu Xian has already had his own plans.
He was going to refine a special weapon.
Yin and Yang Disc Silk Sword.
In the Chu Xian Shenhai Library, there is a forging method for this weapon, and after practice, this long sword like spider silk has disappeared without a trace, killing the enemy invisibly, and it can cut gold and silver, and it is invincible.
However, Chu Xian himself is not proficient in forging and refining weapons, so he has no forging diagram, but he still has to find a powerful craftsman master.
There is no urgency.
At this time, Chu Xian looked around and took a full view of the situation in the wine shop, and he noticed that in a remote corner of the wine shop, there was an old man sitting.
The old man's table was not filled with food, wine, and meat, but on a chessboard.
There was no one opposite the old man, it was more like he was playing against himself, Chu Xian looked at the chessboard again, there were not many chess pieces on it, it seemed to be arranged randomly, the old man shrugged his head, as if he was dozing off.
Chu Xian retracted his gaze and looked at the others again. At this time, a monk who had already been in the wine shop came over, saluted Chu Xian and Qi Chengxiang with his hands folded, and then said, "Look at the two servants of the wind and dust, are they guests from afar?"
Chu Xian glanced at the monk.
The Tiantang Holy Dynasty can't help but believe, Taoism is prosperous, Buddhism is thriving, of course, it has to be recognized and sealed by the Holy Dynasty, it is authentic, in addition, it is all evil sects and demons.
Therefore, it is not uncommon to meet some monks.
Chu Xian smiled and nodded, it was regarded as a greeting, but Qi Chengxiang was silent, obviously on guard, when he went out, there must still be this vigilance.
The monk was not frightened, and said: "It is a guest who is in a hurry, presumably it is going to pass the ancient tree ridge for a while, there are monsters infested in that place, and I am a man of the Buddha Gate, and I am a special gift to two people, as long as the two of them say that the Buddha is on top, protect all living beings, then they will be given talisman beads, and it is given for free, not a penny." ”
Heavenly Buddha Gate?
Chu Xian frowned at the moment.
Among the Buddhist sects recognized and canonized by the Tiantang Holy Dynasty, there is no such thing as the Heavenly Buddha Gate, and Chu Xian checked the memory of the Shenhai Library, and it is certain that this Heavenly Buddha Gate is a cult.
In this way, Chu Xian was of course displeased.
The land of Liangzhou, because it is remote, so there are many evil sects and outsiders who come here to preach and accept believers, and do evil, these Chu Xian all know.
It's just that I didn't expect that just a few days after I entered Liangzhou, I actually met it, and it was in broad daylight that I dared to preach in public.
Chu Xian took a deep breath, in the life of his dream, he had stayed in Dinghai County, Liangzhou for a year, so he naturally knew the atmosphere here, and he also knew the dirty deeds done by the Heavenly Buddha Sect.
Originally, he wanted to arrest this missionary monk directly, but Chu Xian knew that even if he caught such a one, it would be difficult to change the status quo in Liangzhou, so Chu Xian shook his head and said coldly: "Don't give it away for nothing, go away." ”
Waving his hand, he is already driving people away.
Seeing this, a guest next to him immediately got up and said: "You are so rude, Master Ping kindly gave you things to help you survive the catastrophe, you don't appreciate it, you will definitely be unlucky." ”
At that moment, a few more people spoke, and some were still persuading, saying that the young man, don't harm yourself because of ignorance.
Chu Xian didn't expect that his words would make so many people react so much.
The monk waved his hand to stop everyone, which showed that this monk's status was transcendent, and the group just now listened to him.
I saw that the monk's eyes narrowed, and he sneered: "This guest is indeed rude, but the little monk will not be angry, even so, then take care of yourself, but don't blame the little monk for not reminding you, if you go out for a while and encounter trouble, don't come to me." ”
When this monk said this, he was extremely confident, as if he was relying on something.
Chu Xian's heart moved, and he already had a guess.
At this moment, there was a commotion at the outside door of the wine shop, and then several people staggered through the door and fled.
"Help, help!"
"There really are youkai. ”
"The driver who drove the car was dragged into the snow, and I am afraid that there will be more luck than luck. ”
These people were dressed up, and they were all lost at the moment, as if they had seen something terrible, and even a little incoherent.
Seeing the missionary monk, these businessmen immediately seemed to see a savior, and stepped forward and said: "Master, master help, I blamed a few of us for being blind and neglecting the master." ”
The monk smiled: "You see, I have said just now, Gushuling is very evil, there are often demons infested, out of kindness, this is to give a few of my heavenly Buddha door talisman beads, who expected a few not only did not appreciate it, but also slandered the little monk, it is really chilling, but my heavenly Buddha gate has always been compassionate, as long as a few sincerely admit their mistakes, willing to believe in my heavenly Buddha, enter my heavenly Buddha gate, you can resolve the crisis." ”
The businessmen were obviously frightened, and at this moment they all said: "We are willing, we are willing, the Heavenly Buddha is above, protect all beings, the Heavenly Buddha is above, protect all beings." ”
"Okay, good!" The monk was very happy, took out a string of Buddhist beads from his bosom and handed it to one of the merchants, who took it cautiously and wanted to give the silver immediately, but the monk did not accept it, and said: "Remember your words, the Heavenly Buddha is omnipresent and omniscient, and if you break your oath one day, you will be punished by the Heavenly Dao, and even affect future generations." ”
"Remember, remember, must remember, when we go back, we will build a temple for the Heavenly Buddha, and the incense will continue to burn ever since. After Shang Jia finished speaking, there was immediately a humane next to him: "It's all your own fault, just listen to Master Ping, isn't there nothing to do?" We are believers in the Heavenly Buddha Gate, and we have the Buddha beads that the master opened and prayed for, so the demons dare not get close, you outsiders just don't know the depths, are ignorant and stupid, and now you are reaping the consequences, right? It is also Master Ping's gentle temperament and broad-mindedness, so I forgave a few of you, and if it was me, I would let you fend for yourself, who told you not to believe in the Heavenly Buddha. ”
was counted, and those businessmen didn't dare to fight back, so they could only nod their heads and admit their mistakes, and then they left with the Buddha beads in their hands, and the monk was unfathomable from beginning to end.
The whole process, Chu Xian saw it in his eyes.
The monk turned his head to Chu Xian at this time and said: "This benefactor, you also saw it just now, those few people were the same as you before, they all thought that the little monk was deceiving people, and they didn't care about it at first, but what was the result? ”
"Master Ping is kind-hearted, if it were me, I would ignore these two foreigners, and they deserved to be unlucky. ”
"That's right, but the master is the master, and he won't be as knowledgeable as these mortals, you two, haven't you come to thank the master, chanting that the Heavenly Buddha is above, protecting all sentient beings, and praying for the Heavenly Buddha to bless you. ”
Chu Xian watched these people sing and harmonize, was silent for a moment, and then laughed.
This laughter was extremely loud in the wine shop, but in the ears of some people, it was very harsh, and those people didn't know what to do, and they looked puzzled, it was Master Naping, who also frowned, and didn't understand what Chu Xian was going to do.
"It's a good Heavenly Buddha Gate, okay, okay, I remember, but this Master Ping's kindness, I understand it, as for whether you believe it or not, the Buddha on that day, whether you can enter the Buddha Gate on that day, I'm still not interested, let's go." Chu Xian got up at this time and walked away, Qi Chengxiang followed behind, not leaving an inch, the two walked out of the wine shop one after the other, and disappeared into the vast snow.
A guest of the wine shop scolded at this moment: "Shameless face, ignorant baby, but there are days when you regret it, and after a while, the two turtle grandsons will cry and come back to ask for peace." ”
