That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 119

Finally approaching the city gate, the sword box was wrapped in a backpack by Xu Beiyou early on, but it was not unexpected that the gate guard saw something strange, and followed the crowd through the gate and through the city gate, and came to the city of Jeju.

Not long after Xu Beiyou entered the city, another middle-aged couple came outside the city gate. The husband was tall and strong, with a naive smile on his face, dressed in coarse clothes and hemp shoes, like a farmer from the countryside.The wife is much more delicate. Although she is also in a wooden hairpin cloth skirt and she is already in her mid-mature, she has a good face, a charming figure, and the seductive smell of a mature woman all over her body. It can be said that her charm still exists, and her face is even more revealing. With a shrewd energy, people have to sigh, a clever woman often sleeps with a clumsy husband.

For the couple, the city guards took a little look at them, but didn't see anything unusual, and after secretly rubbing oil on the woman, they let them enter the city.

After entering the city, the market was obviously bustling with traffic and people buzzing. The husband looked around, as if he was looking for someone, and seemed a little at a loss. The woman stretched out her hand and pinched him, and reprimanded: "You You stupid cow, what are you looking at stupidly? What can you see if you look at it?"

The husband is also rough-skinned and thick-skinned, and he didn't feel any pain from his wife's pinch, so he said naively: "Then you say where to go, I'll listen to you."

The woman said: "The little bitch told us to come to Jeju, but he didn't tell us where to go. Jeju is so big, wandering around is not an option. Why don't we find an inn first, and then make plans."

The man nodded and said again: "Daughter-in-law, don't keep calling her a little bitch. If she hears it, it may be another disaster."

The woman's face was a little gloomy, she snorted coldly, but she didn't refute her husband's words, she just said: "You don't need to talk too much, you stupid cow, I know it well."

A woman's mind is changeable, even an elderly woman is the same. After walking a few steps, the woman saw the bustling scene all over the street, and changed her mind again, saying: "I haven't been to this Jeju mansion for many years, okay?" It’s easy to come here, you can’t pass by in a hurry, why don’t we take advantage of the weather and go shopping around, and then go to the inn to settle down later.”

Although the husband wanted to evade, but he was used to being bullied by his wife and did not dare to disobey, so he could only nod in agreement.

At this time, Xu Beiyou had already checked into an inn. After he settled in properly, he told Xiaoer not to disturb him, closed the door, sat cross-legged on the bed, and began to comprehend sword 36.

During this journey, no matter whether he was walking, sitting or lying down, he never stopped practicing for a moment. In terms of sword 36, after sword [-] was perfected, he had already started to study sword [-], but there was no master to explain the confusion, and many places could not be understood. I still couldn't grasp the essence, so I didn't continue to watch Jian Shiliu.In addition to learning swords and refining qi, Xu Beiyou sometimes calms down to read books, most of which are Confucian classics, and occasionally read some travel notes and medical books.

It wasn't until dinner time that Xu Beiyou woke up leisurely from his meditation, left the room, and went downstairs to have dinner in the lobby.

At this moment, there are not many guests in the lobby, only a middle-aged man and woman sitting at the same table. The man has a simple and honest face, clothed in cloth and hemp shoes, like a simple peasant man, and the woman has a pretty face, wearing a thorn hairpin sarong, revealing a stock market. Shrewdness honed.At this time, the woman was reprimanding her husband, all of which were useless and useless complaints. Although the man was born tall, he was submissive to his petite wife and did not dare to reply.

Xu Beiyou smiled, it turned out he was still henpecked.

Slowly looking away, Xu Beiyou found a corner and sat down. By this time, the shopkeeper, who was already a little listless, walked over slowly and asked the customer what he wanted to eat.

Xu Beiyou suddenly remembered that when he was a child, he heard about the heroes of the rivers and lakes told by scholars, so he asked the store for some sauced beef, but he didn't ask for wine, which was inevitably a bit of a fly in the ointment.

It's a coincidence that the beef of this shop is half of the signature, both the heat and the quality of the meat are extremely authentic, especially the exclusive sauce is the most delicious, which makes people feel salivary under the tongue after one sniff.

When the husband saw the beef on Xu Beiyou's table, he sniffed the mellow aroma, his Adam's apple moved slightly, and looked at his wife beggingly. No matter what, they were still husband and wife. The woman couldn't bear his gaze, and reluctantly He waved to the owner of the shop and said, "Please bring me a piece of beef that is exactly the same as this young man."

The owner of the store is always winking, afraid that the woman will go back on his word, he ran to the back kitchen in a hurry, and cut out a plate of sauced beef and brought it to the table in a short while.

The farmer glanced at his wife and saw her nodding, so he reached out to grab the beef and began to feast on it.

In this spare time, Xu Beiyou had already finished his beef and got up to leave.

At this time, another seven or eight women walked into the inn, all of them were extraordinary, and one of the women with a sword was even more beautiful. Not to mention that the eyeballs of the shop owner almost fell out, even Xu Beiyou couldn't bear it. I couldn't help but look a few more times.

Then Xu Beiyou frowned slightly, because he found that all of these girls had cultivation bases, and the lowest ones were second-rank realms. Obviously, they couldn't be the daughters of ordinary people, but they should be disciples of some sect. But seeing that their clothes didn't look like people from the Taoist sect really made him a little confused.

The store owner is quite knowledgeable, after greeting the guests to sit down, he cleaned up Xu Beiyou's table, and said casually: "These fairies are all women in the Yanyu Building, if we want to talk about the Yanyu Building, it's us all. The first-class Zongmen in the prefecture, although it cannot be compared with the state religion, but the three adults of the Sansi Yamen have to sell some face. I heard that the landlord is even more beautiful than the beauties in the paintings. Three points."

Hearing what the shopkeeper said, Xu Beiyou remembered that there was indeed such a sect in Qizhou.

There is a saying in the practice world, which is called Three Teachings, Nine Streams and Hundred Schools.

The Three Religions refers to the three major sects of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. Later, the Confucianism sect was torn apart by the Xuanjiao, which was at its peak in the last years of the Great Chu Dynasty, and it was counted as a post-establishment Xuanjiao, which essentially became the Four Religions. Today, the Taoist sect seems to have transcended the three religions, and no other sect can stand alongside it.

The second is Jiuliu, which is the nine first-class sects second only to the three religions. The former Jianzong was the top of the Jiuliu, and then there are Tianji Pavilion, Molun Temple, King Kong Temple, Southeast Witch Cult, Shamanism, The eight sects of Wenxiang Sect, White Lotus Sect, and Anweifu are also belonging to Jiuliu.

Among them, the Tianji Pavilion, the Anwei Mansion, and the Confucian sects among the three religions are all under the command of the imperial court. In addition, the army has always been as strong as a forest, so the imperial court has the confidence to suppress the Taoist sects that are in full swing.

Jiuliu is the Hundred Schools, the so-called Hundred Schools is an imaginary number, all the sects that are not considered first-class sects are included in it, such as the Xuanshui Pavilion in Julu City, and the Yanyu Building in Qizhou.

Many disciples from big sects often look down on these "hundred schools" of sects, and jokingly call them low-ranking sects, but it does not mean that there are no masters in small sects. Ranked first, Chen Ye, the master of the Zhenmo Palace, ranked seventh, and Gongsun Zhongmou, the master of the Sword Sect, was eighth, and following Gongsun Zhongmou was the head of a small sect and the only one. The person on the list who came from one of the "Hundred Families" sects, named Zhang Zhaonu, is good at the ancient way of refining qi, and his qi is so powerful that it can destroy mountains. There are legends that he once encountered The huge tornado, which is thousands of feet high in the sea, can shake the power of the sky and remain motionless just by using the external venting machine.

The Kunshan who came out of Zhang Zhaonu is naturally ranked first in the "Hundred Schools", and Yanyulou can probably be sent to the top ten in the "Hundred Schools", which is not as good as Kunshan's momentum, but it is not tepid fire.

Xu Beiyou nodded, then suddenly shook his head and smiled again.In the early years, he liked the stories of the rivers and lakes the most, but when he walked the rivers and lakes with his master, he didn't like it so much, because the practice world of the three religions and nine streams is no longer the world he is familiar with. The servants who can't stand the table, the great masters of the earth fairy realm also die when they say they die, and they are often confronted by several major forces, scheming and scheming. Individuals are incomparably insignificant in it, and those at the top are no different from gods.

On the contrary, it is one of the hundreds of schools under the three religions and nine streams, more like the rivers and lakes he once yearned for, with various sects, knights and fairies, devils and heretics, all kinds of people, and all kinds of troubles.
