Chapter 61 Kou Shijun

The Yumen Pass was built in the previous dynasty, designed to resist the Western Regions Zhuhu, so there are many literary and brilliant people among the soldiers, and they wrote poems and praised this pass. Among these people, there are many generals who are in and out of the prime minister, all-round talents in civil and military affairs, and talented people. Jiao Fei went out of the pass last time, hurried by, and did not take careful care of this Xiongguan, not to mention that he stepped on the earth at that time, but could not see the whole picture of Yumen Pass, and now he and Su Huan returned to their hometown, and had a bird's-eye view of Yumen Pass from the sky, only then did they feel the majesty of this Xiongguan.

Three generations ago, Taizu of the Northern Han Dynasty once said, "Xiongguan is like iron, I should wave Jin Ge and cross calmly!" The shock of Yumen Pass to Jiao Fei was far less than this, and he suddenly remembered this ancient emperor who almost dominated the world. Such a magnificent scenery is rare to see, and Jiao Fei is reluctant to urge the dark clouds, passing by in an instant, but staying above the Yumen Pass "linger for a long time." Su Huan didn't have Jiao Fei's leisure and elegance, but looking at the Yumen Pass under the clouds, he couldn't help but say, "This Guancheng is so majestic, there are many talented people in the human race, although they don't want to be immortals, but they have the world in mind, and even delve into ingenuity, architecture, articles, arithmetic, astronomy, etc., and have great achievements."

At the beginning, my sister was very envious of the books of the human race, and once thought of marrying into a certain scholarly family, their family has a library, and the collection of books is among the top three in the world, but there is no handsome young man of the same age, she was not able to make it, and it was a pity afterwards, regretting that she could not witness those books. Jiao Fei suddenly smiled and said, "I remember that there was an ancient talented girl, her lifelong wish was to enjoy the Li family's collection of books in this county, so she married a concubine of the Li family, but I didn't expect that the concubine was not qualified to go to the family library, this talented woman still can't see the Li family's collection, so she regretted it for the rest of her life and died depressed." Su Huan pouted and said, "You human race has many rules, and my sister also told me this. Those big families have to marry girls with innocent backgrounds, and my sister is ten times better looking, but as long as she is the above three generations, she has no official background, no scholarly family, and no good reputation in the township, it is impossible for her family to marry her as a daughter-in-law. If those who are not valued by the family are not necessarily qualified to enter and leave the book collection, they can only be depressed later. Jiao Fei couldn't go to the Yamen Pass, and the border soldiers below also noticed this dark cloud. There are also often Taoist sorcerers from the side door among the Hu people in the Western Regions, and there are the greedy chieftain wolf lords, who are worshiped by the Great Khan, and they also use their own magic to help these Hu people in the Western Regions invade the border passes. For this reason, there have always been Taoist warriors stationed in Yumen Pass, and even the selected fierce generals are all Taoist scholars.

Jiao Fei's cloud is peculiar, the grassland of the Western Regions, the land is vast and sparsely populated, the sky is clear and blue, and it is particularly eye-catching floating in the sky. At that moment, some soldiers went to report to Hou Jing, the general of Yumen Pass. He was originally guarding the Nanban, but because of his merits, he was transferred to the door of Yang Jian, the governor of the Western Regions, and became the guard of Yumen Pass. Hearing that there was a dark cloud haunted by the closure of the jade gate, Hou Jing secretly said in his heart, "In ordinary days, there has never been a sign of wind and rain, how can there be a dark cloud? Could it be that the Hu clan in the Western Regions wants to invade the border pass and can't succeed?" Hou Mi's family passed on martial arts, and at the age of eighteen, he opened up 365 tricks in his body, and made a golden cicada to light the eye-catching stick, crisscrossing the battlefield, and he has always had a rare opponent. In addition, he is quite strategic in the battle array, he is a civil and military all-rounder, and he has made outstanding achievements in the southern towns of Miaojiang, so he will be transferred to such an important gate as Jade and Menguan as a guard.

He had learned Taoism from Su Zhen, but Hou Jing had never talked about it, he was his henchman, and he only knew that his martial arts were amazing and handsome, but he didn't know that he was also proficient in spells.

Seeing Hou Jing's hesitation, the soldier who reported the news couldn't help but suggest, "If General Hou is a little hesitant, it is better to invite Kou Shijun to come over and discuss this matter together." Hou Jing groaned slightly and said yes, and went to invite the immortal official stationed in Yumen Pass.

From two weeks, more than ten dynasties, there are immortal official positions, divided into four products, from the bottom to the top, that is, the master, the heavenly master, the real person, the true monarch. The position of the true monarch is extremely noble, and he is the national teacher that ordinary people often say, and he is in the first class. Even Shijun is also a tenth, fourth-grade official, although the immortal officials of the previous dynasties do not care about mundane affairs and have no real power, but the grade is extremely high, and Hou Jing does not dare to slack off.

Kou Yuan was originally meditating and refining qi in his cloud room, but when he heard Hou Jing's invitation, he said that he had urgent military affairs, so he rushed out with the four-grade robes of the immortal officials.

Jiao Fei saw the defenders of Yumen Pass running around in the sky, and another extremely noble military general and a Taoist priest wearing a cloud-patterned Taoist robe went up to the Yumen Pass Tower, and felt a little strange in his heart, and said secretly: "These people are like a great enemy, what happened?" Hou Jing was shocked in his heart, and said secretly, "Look at the color of this dark cloud, in case some powerful demon wants to break into my Tang Kingdom and harm living beings, if I let him go, wouldn't it be a betrayal of the responsibility of guarding it?"

Hou Jing is skilled in martial arts, he is already a great general, his bow and arrow also has a great history, it was when he was guarding Miaojiang that he broke through a dock village, and the treasure of the town clan of the dock village that he seized has been passed down for hundreds of years. Su Huan saw it clearly in the dark clouds, and when he saw that he was happy, he gathered the fire crow array, and raised his hand to fight a ball of flames.

The two fires touched in the air and suddenly exploded, Hou Jing was startled, and hurriedly shouted:

"I hope that Kou Shijun will stop this demon!" Kou Yuan was quite reluctant in his heart, and said secretly, "This, demon, can already soar into the clouds, that is at least the cultivation of the Gang Refining Realm, I am only the third layer of Qi refining, how can I resist the enemy? Such a powerful character, it's better not to provoke, if you get annoyed, wouldn't you be asking for trouble?" But it will be detrimental to my Tang Dynasty! If Daoist friends don't answer, Kou Xun is a disciple of Longhu Mountain, and he has the responsibility to protect the country, so he has to offend. "Kou Xun is not from Hou Jingwu's background, and there is always some shirk in his heart, so he first pointed out his identity as soon as he opened his mouth, and buttoned down the big hat of protecting the country. You must know that there are two sects of Buddhism and Taoism in the middle and upper levels, and they have always looked down on the people of the four yi, and they will never allow the Taoist people of the four yi to enter the middle and upper to make trouble. Kou Xun thought about what happened, if the other party was also a disciple of the Daomen, for the sake of this "big hat to protect the country and guard it", or not to embarrass him.

Jiao Fei held down the head of the cloud, thought about it, but still never showed his head, but also waved his hand in the cloud, and wrote eight big words, "Visiting friends passing by, don't be surprised!" and then pressed the dark clouds and slowly retreated outside the gate. Hou Jing saw these eight big characters suddenly floating out of the clouds, and he was also relieved in his heart, watching the black clouds in the sky go, hugged Kou Xun's wrist, and thanked him, "Thanks to Kou Shijun's amazing mana, retreat this demon." Kou Xun secretly wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said a few words of humility, he didn't bother to stay in the city for longer, so he hurriedly said goodbye and went back to his cloud house to continue cultivating.

Hou Jing looked at the sky, thoughtful, and suddenly sighed in a low voice, "If my master passes on the true law in the gate to me, how can I let such barbarians come and go in the Yumen Pass?" He ordered the soldiers at the head of the city to be on guard, and increased the patrol three times, and then went down the city tower.

After Jiao Fei withdrew for dozens of miles, he pressed the clouds, he knew that the Jade Gate was guarded by Taoist sorcerers, so he didn't want to break in. Jiao Fei is always a citizen under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, and he has also learned some loyal and patriotic principles since he was a child, although after cultivating the Tao, he no longer has those thoughts, but he does not want to conflict with the soldiers and generals guarding the border pass in the Tang Dynasty, and plans to walk through the Yumen Pass on foot according to the rules. Jiao Fei also didn't know that Kou Xun only had the cultivation of the third layer of qi refining, so he urged the dark clouds to rush through, and no one could help him when the jade gate was closed.

Jiao Fei said in his heart, "I just spied on the Yumen Gate, and it's really inappropriate to walk over with a swagger now, so it's better to rest overnight, and enter the customs with the merchants who come and go tomorrow morning." He took Su Huan with him and found the lake where he had spent the night last time. Jiao Fei didn't need to make any tents, he casually pinched the Tianhe Nine Seals Sword Technique and drew a large circle on the ground, and the cold wind outside the plug couldn't blow inside. Su Huan went to the lake to catch two fat big fish, put them on the branches, and built a fire to barbecue. When Su Huan was cultivating in the 100,000 Great Mountains, he made game by himself from time to time, and his skills were very skilled, and after a long time, a smell of meat wafted out.

This lake is the first place to rest outside the Yumen Pass, and past business travelers will spend the night here. It's just that everyone is vigilant, and they don't greet each other very much, and they all form a circle of guards on the periphery, protecting the goods and important people in the middle. Young men and women like Jiao Fei and Su Huan, who went on the road alone without a guard, were extremely eye-catching, especially Su Huan's beauty, so they secretly wondered what the origin of this pair of young men and women was.

However, these people are all very eye-catching, Jiao Fei casually revealed the spell of drawing a prison with one hand, and some people saw that they were secretly embarrassed, knowing that this pair of young men and women were not easy to mess with, and they all restrained their subordinates and told them not to make loud noises.

There was an old businessman surnamed Zhou, when he saw Jiao Fei's spell, his eyes lit up, he was originally quite anxious, and he looked a little panicked, and there were a lot of bags around him, it didn't look like he was going to the Western Regions to do business, but he had some intention of fleeing.
