Chapter 113 Chang'an trip
The next day, the morning light first appeared. When Ye Yian came to the dangerous cliff in front of the dense forest on the south side of Fengge Mountain, the mountain wind was still there, but the night insects were already silent. Yan Ruyi disappeared with the sound of insects - the woman who used to have exquisite makeup and eyes like spring water.
She is gone!
After doing the matter of burning Guangyuan Shangguan last night and killing Zhenyiguan, Yan Ruyi must leave, and he will go very far and will never return to Xiangzhou again.
This departure is just as he said last night. The sky is far away and there will be no future!
Looking at the rising sun that had just jumped out of the sea of clouds in the distance, and Yan Ruyi from acquaintance to last night's gratitude and righteousness flashed through his mind like a flash of glimpses of the crowd in front of Wangjiang Tower in Xiangzhou City; the gamble of the five brothers of the eagle-faced man on the top of Fengge Mountain; the coexistence of living and dying on the cliff; the day and night of living in the nameless continent; and the end of everything last night.
Not long after, on the dangerous cliff, Ye Yian smiled at the rising sun. In any case, she came last night and came alone to face everything she did.
This is a very difficult feeling. Although it is the same ending of a severance of gratitude and righteousness. However, Yan Ruyi is willing to face it, and whether to come or not is completely different for Ye Yian.
Because she came, Ye Yian no longer regretted his intercourse with her, no longer regretted his evaluation of her... no longer denies the friendship they had before.
Friendship is priceless and precious. Because Ye Yian is too scarce in his life, he will attach great importance to it.
Once he entered the Demon Sect as deep as the sea, Xiao Lang was a passerby from now on. But at least this farewell was clearly stated and cleanly broke. Therefore, the final grace and righteousness of last night was no longer tied or regret!
After laughing, Ye Yian turned around and left. The ending was over, and what should be done still needs to continue moving forward.
On the way back to the Yin-Yang Furnace, Ye Yian thought silently that after the breakdown of his righteousness with Yan Ruyi, it means that Xu Gongda had no hope at all, and Yun Wen had to make a long-term plan. Yun Wen's decryption was directly related to the "Secret Method of Puppy and Butterfly" in the last three levels. It is really not easy to go one after another!
Shaking his head, don't think about this for now. After all, the last three levels of exercises of "The Secret Technique of the Papa and Butterfly" are not urgently needed at present, so it is not necessary to slow down. What made him most regrettable was that his death in Xu Sheng last night was cut off from finding his master's clues. I don't know how many twists and turns it will take to connect this line again.
Just as Ye Yian was thinking about his thoughts, a few loud shouts suddenly came from the front. Looking up, the little fat man Fang Qijie made these strange sounds, and the one standing next to him was the Xuxiang of Ziji Palace.
"Have you seen the immortal chief" Ye Yian took a few steps forward and greeted Xu first and then looked at the fat man, "Today is not the holiday for the state yamen, why are you here?"
The little fat man was eating the mountain fruit he got from somewhere. He still ate the food as he did when Ye Yian first met him three years ago. He was so fast that he filled it quickly and vomited the core faster, like a bead. Even if his mouth was full, it didn't affect his speech. "Uncle Second is about to return to Beijing. I am always so intimate as a nephew, let alone come to find you, Master, and I have to pester him even more."
Upon hearing this, Ye Yian looked at Xu Xiang in shock, "Immortal Chief is going back to Beijing?"
Xu Xiang ignored Ye Yian's words and asked with a serious face, "Where were you last night? Have you participated in the heavy losses in Guangyuanguan?"
As soon as Xu Xiang said this, Ye Yian's heart skipped a beat. Finally, he was very calm and did not show any abnormality on his face. Just as he was about to speak, he saw the little fat man frowning from the corner of his eyes, as if he was pointing something.
After being with the little fat man for a long time, Ye Yian knew a lot about his ghost spirit. At that moment, the words he was about to say suddenly turned around and nodded in the eyes of the Xu Xiang and said, "I went to the Happy Tower last night, and I did participate in the matter of Guangyuan Temple."
As soon as he finished speaking, the fat man jumped up first, "Okay, Master, you went to Kuaihuolou to eat flower wine and didn't call me?! No loyalty, too unfaithful."
While he was clamoring, the fat man raised his thumbs to Ye Yian very secretly.
After scolding the little fat man, Xu Xiang pointed Ye Yian, "I said, how did you participate?"
When the incident happened last night, Xu was in the Hei Shui Daze deep in Shennong Ridge. How did he know that I went to Kuaihuo Tower? And it seems that even the fat man knows it.
Then do they know what Yan Ruyi has to do?
In an instant, Ye Yian turned his mind and finally decided not to leak Yan Ruyi. Regardless of whether the Taoist sect could find out that the real murderer of last night was Yan Ruyi, at least he should not say it out of him. Otherwise, wouldn’t his accusation of betrayal of Yan Ruyi last night become a joke?
Furthermore, if you just mention something about Yan Ruyi, you will get too many things, and this will actually lead him into it deeply, which is really unwise.
After making up his mind, Ye Yian said that he had always been good at singing and dancing. Yesterday, he heard from Liu Bantou of the State Office that a Hua Buyu, who was good at Huyu Tower, came to Kuaihuo Tower. Hu Xuan was very wonderful, so he had some insight. Therefore, he arrived at Kuaihuo Tower last night. When the dance was in full swing, he met Guangyuan Guan Qingde and led the crowd to come, and happened to meet two tigers fighting.
As for the contents below, Ye Yian said it all in detail, how to escape by chance; how Chen Fangzhuo led people down the mountain to patrol; how he led them to kill one and shot again until he killed Chi Hong, Huang Hong, Green Hong, and Qingde were all missing.
The words ended here. Ye Yian's words were three-point false and seven-point true. During the narration, the little fat man was so excited that he heard it, but the false appearance did not say a word.
When Ye Yian finished speaking, he asked questions one after another, and all the questions were asked about some details.
Fortunately, his questions were all about taking advantage of the situation in the second half, and Ye Yian then said everything, all the truth.
After finally asking, Xu Xiang stretched out his hand and pointed Ye Yian, "What is the Kuaihuo Tower? You act so recklessly. If things are a little unharmonious, you will die without any ground. No one can save you at that time. In addition, it's fine for those evil demons, but how can you kill the Taoist people?"
After the incident, Ye Yian never argued in the face of the rebuke of the void, but the fat man next to him muttered: "How many good things are there in Guangyuanguan Taoist thieves? Even you want to kill the second uncle, it's really worth the death! Besides, they can destroy the Tianji Valley, but others can't avenge others? Under the circumstances, if the master refuses to lead Chen Fangzhuo and the others, how can he expect them to serve in the future? Encountering such a good opportunity to take advantage of the situation last night, it's time to win people's hearts."
"You have been an official all day long and only know how to fight, kill, you are a rebellious man, and you still have too few sticks to your father." As he said, the empty face bounced his fingers and a blazing white light flashed by. The fat man was immediately fixed, like a clay-shaped mute doll, unable to speak or move.
After fixed on the little fat man, Xu Xiang led Ye Yian to walk a few steps aside, "It is a big mistake to kill the divine tunnel man as your identity. I think you are ignorant and it is a first offense. I will forgive you this time. This matter must not be repeated. Otherwise, if I don't talk about Taoism, I will not be able to spare you, but remember?"
Ye Yian nodded and said yes, but there was still no defense.
Seeing that he had such an attitude, Xu Xiang's face obviously improved a lot, "Can you explain it carefully?"
This sentence was really abrupt. Ye Yian paused for a while before he realized that he was talking about Chen Fangzhuo and others. "The seven people who participated last night were all disciples of Tianji Valley. I have already explained it. They also know how serious this matter is, so they should not dare to say it randomly."
"Well, you can explain it again before leaving. It is best if they are in seclusion for a while and don't show up."
"Walk?"
"Follow me to Chang'an"
Xu Xiang sighed, "Last night, Guangyuan Shangguan was also burned down. He was under the supervision of Xusheng, and no one was spared. Even the Zhenyiguan, which came due to the incident, was owled by Xujing, which was shocking! How could the Taoist sect let go if you have such a big thing? Your identity is easily jealous of the Taoist sect, and you have indeed been in it. It is very unwise to stay in Xiangzhou at this time. It just happened to follow me to Chang'an, which was to avoid the limelight and pass the scripture hall in advance. This step will eventually be passed, and if you go now, you will not waste your time in the future."
The short words of Xu Xiang's short words were too fast and there was too much information. Although Ye Yian was very concerned about what the so-called "Character Hall" was, he had to look extremely surprised first, "The Guangyuan Shangguan was copied? What a big deal, who did it?"
"Who dares to do such a trait except the Demon Sect?" Xu Xiang sighed faintly, and the feelings revealed were very complicated. "I have personally inspected a human body in the divine passage, and it is true that the Demon Sect took action."
After saying that, Xu Xiang sighed again, then shook his head as if he didn't want to say it again, and instead explained the matter in the scripture hall.
According to him, the so-called Sutra Hall is a small temple located in the city of Chang'an. This temple does not accept incense and worship. Its duties are only to train people in various states in the world with identities such as Ye Yian.
As informants who developed in the local area to monitor Taoist sects, they are all from casual cultivators without exception. These people have their own ways of practicing. Ziji Palace does not want to care about them, but their brains cannot ignore Ziji Palace.
Especially those informants who have great potential after investigation and want to be very useful in Ziji Palace, they must not ignore them.
As the name suggests, the Sutra Hall is where you study the sutra and read the sutra. After entering the sutra Hall, the selected informant must not only systematically study Taoist scriptures such as "Myth" and "Nanhua", but also systematically study the "Five Sutras Justice"
"The Justice of the Five Classics" was written in the early years of the State Dynasty. It was compiled by the former Emperor Taizong himself and compiled by Confucius's legitimate grandson, the Zhenguan Dynasty's Imperial College, and was personally compiled by Kong Yingda, one of the eighteen scholars. It is actually the most authentic Confucian classic.
After hearing this, I recalled the previous statement about the "Heaven Kingdom" of Xu Xiang, and Ye Yian's purpose of setting up this sutra hall for Ziji Palace was to be as clear as a mirror.
In the final analysis, Ziji Palace's move is a work of "unifying thoughts" for people, intending to learn scriptures and read scriptures in the Sutra Hall, so that the informants they selected can also consciously accept the concept of the unity of Confucianism and Taoism and the heavenly kingdom on earth. In addition, the seeds of "loyalty to the emperor" were planted in the hearts of these casual cultivators who do not have much concept of the court.
Ziji Palace has never directly expressed the intention of unifying the world of scattered cultivators like the Taoist sect, but its intention is self-evident, but its methods are more obscure and its intention is silent. It is really meaningful to look at the settings of the scripture hall!
Of course, these are just what Ye Yian thought about and could not say so clearly.
After briefly introducing the content of the Sutra Hall, Xu Xiang pointed out another vague sentence. It is really not easy for people to enter the Sutra Hall. Ye Yian should not be careless and slack, so as not to affect his future future. "Xiangzhou is the capital of the lacquerware in the dynasty, and it is also a place where the south and north horses gather. It is also backed by the 100,000 mountains of Shennongling. This is a must-fight for military strategists, which is really a place to do. I have high hopes for you and must not mislead myself!"
"As soon as I leave, Xiangzhou scattered cultivators..."
"The Xiangzhou scattered cultivators have changed a lot, and now it's time to recuperate. How many things can I do?" At this point, Xu Xiang looked at Ye Yian with a look of unhappy expression, "If you are not here, how much trouble will you get? If you have the aerial skills, it's not difficult to get along, but even if you want to come back in the next three months, you won't step into Xiangzhou City. Remember?"
Although Xu Xiang's expression and tone were not good, his care and hope for Ye Yian was deeply inspiring. Ye Yian was not a ungrateful person, so he nodded immediately and said yes.
After the matter was explained, Xu Xiang wanted to return to the city and gave Ye Yian a day to handle private affairs and affairs in the casual cultivator world. After a day, he went to Chang'an together.
Before he left, he finally lifted the ban on the fat man. As the two of them were chatting, Ye Yian realized the whole story.
It turned out that last night, a turtle man in the Happy Tower was hit by a big fight. His legs were broken by the wood and stone falling from the roof, but he was not dead. He became the only person who witnessed the whole process with his own eyes. This guy happened to have seen Ye Yian, who was majestic when he was the deputy head, so he recognized him.
Later, the life-long Guigong was found by the tollers who came to clean up the mess. Fang Zhushan, who was personally tried the case because of the serious matter, heard that Ye Yi'an had something to do, so he called the little fat man to find him immediately.
Where did the little fat man go to find Ye Yian? At this moment, Xu Xiang returned to the city from Heishui Daze, and the question just now came about.
After hearing the whole story, Ye Yian could only sigh that the net of heaven was vast and manpower was sometimes poor.
After the fat man finished speaking, he smiled and said, "Don't think that my second uncle is a monk, I actually don't like my subordinates to deceive him by lies, Master, you just said nothing about killing people without hiding it. Although my second uncle's face was stinky, he must be happy in his heart. Your firm position is not enough to escape."
Speaking of this, the little fat man was about to change the topic and wanted to blackmail some benefits from Ye Yian, but he was urging him from a distance and could only leave in a bad mood.
Watching Xu Xiang take the little fat man to clear the sky and disappear deep in the blue sky and white clouds, what Ye Yian suddenly thought of was Lin Ziyue, who always likes to call him "my mother" and often wants to discount his legs.
Chang'an, Lin Ziyue...
One day after that, Ye Yian was very busy and went to Lanshan Jingshuo to meet Chen Fangzhuo; picked up some things in the world in his sleeves that were not suitable for taking to Chang'an; and worked with Lin Zixing to clean up the things that Lin Ziyue wanted to bring to Lin Ziyue; in addition, he had to go to Xiangzhou City to say goodbye to Fang Zhushan in person, and taught the introductory techniques of "Lingxi Finger" and "Shadowless Foot" to the ecstatic fat man...
