That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 447 Ling Yun's way of entering the world

The smoke and dust dissipated, and Xu Beiyou and Ling Yun reappeared on top of the ruins.

Xu Beiyou is fine, but Ling Yun is in a bit of a state of embarrassment. The original meticulous bun has been broken up, like Xu Beiyou's white hair, and the blue Taoist robe is even more damaged.

Both of them had no intention of continuing to fight, Ling Yun said slowly: "Xu Beiyou, the first disciple of the Sword Sect, I lost today, it's just that I, Ling Yun, lost to you Xu Beiyou, not the Taoist sect lost to Jianzong."

Xu Beiyou didn't deny it, and said frankly: "I've heard that the head teacher has twelve disciples, among them Tianyun, Wuyunsou, and Baiyunzi are the leaders. I think the first disciple to come to the Taoist sect will eventually be selected among these three. Xu Beiyou If someone can defeat these three people, then it can be said that Jianzong has defeated Daomen once."

Xu Beiyou waved his hand over the sword box, and asked, "Since the winner has already been decided, should we continue to divide life and death?"

Ling Yun shook his head and said: "If I want to leave, you won't be able to keep me. If I don't leave, if I don't retreat in a deadly battle, I will definitely be the one who dies. I never do anything to send someone to die."

Xu Beiyou twitched the corners of his mouth and laughed it off.

After the quarrel between the two of them, the officials and inspectors of the hidden guards in the city had already been alarmed, but because of the terrifying power of the two earth immortals, they did not dare to step forward rashly. Accompanied by the inspectors of the hidden guards, the magistrate came to the collapsed city gate in the rain.

This magistrate seems to be of no doubt about his age, with a refined demeanor, and a bearded man. Such a man is like old wine, the older he gets, the more mellow he is. He glanced at the white-haired man who had put his sword on his back again, and then looked at him again. The young Taoist, who looked slightly embarrassed, finally took a look at the ruins of the city tower, first bowed his hands to the two, and then sighed: "You two are done fighting?"

Xu Beiyou smiled and said, "It's over."

Ling Yun did not speak, but looked at the inspector of the dark guard who was dressed in a black brocade robe, a black gauze crown on his head, and an embroidered spring knife on his waist.

There are more than ten people behind the inspector of the dark guards, all dressed in black, wearing capes and hats, holding crossbows in their hands, lined up one by one, with a strict demeanor.

In addition to investigating the major cases handed over by the emperor himself, the Dark Guard Mansion's most important mission is to monitor the monks from all over the world. After all, after the monks reach a certain level, it is difficult for ordinary secular troops to pose a real threat to them. It is even more difficult to deal with the kind of evil cultivators who do not follow the rules, come and go like the wind, and leave at the touch of a touch.

It is precisely because of various reasons that the Dark Guard Mansion came into being. In addition to cultivating monks belonging to the imperial court, it also selects outstanding martial arts from the army and absorbs many casual cultivators with good reputations. At the same time, it is equipped with various sharp weapons produced by Tianji Pavilion. Used to suppress monks everywhere.

According to the law of the Dark Guard Mansion, there is one inspector in each mansion, one captain, three school lieutenants, 15 guards, ten Tianji crossbows, and twenty ninth-class destroying god arrows.

Now it seems that the inspector of Yiyang Mansion's Dark Guard Mansion has already moved most of his belongings out.

However, both Xu Beiyou and Ling Yun looked calm. After all, both of them are in the realm of the real fairyland, and they are carrying many treasures from the two major sects of Jianzong and Daomen. Strictly speaking, only the secret guards at the level of the six major sub-fus are eligible to kill a great monk in the realm of the earth fairy.

The magistrate looked at the two of them, "Although both of you are high-ranking earth immortals who have transcended the mundane world, acting recklessly like this is not in line with the court's legal principles, so I still have the guts to ask you two to give an explanation."

Ling Yun said in a deep voice: "This battle started because of the poor, and all the consequences will be borne by the poor."

Xu Beiyou glanced at Ling Yun, but didn't speak.

In all fairness, what he said was correct, if it wasn't for Ling Yun blocking the way, Xu Beiyou would fight here when he was full, and this situation wouldn't have happened.

The magistrate heard that someone was willing to take the responsibility, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and asked, "Dare to ask, is this Daoist person from the Taoist sect?"

Ling Yun admitted frankly: "Ling Yun, a poor Taoist sect."

The magistrate and the inspector of the secret guards beside him looked at each other, and they both saw the shock in each other's eyes.

Both of them are not fools. It is not uncommon for a high-ranking Earth Immortal of Ye's generation, but an extraordinary Earth Immortal of Yun's generation. They must be young and handsome in the Taoist sect, and they are destined to have a bright future.

After some concealed eye contact, the magistrate still said: "May I ask, does Dazheng want to use money to compensate?"

Ling Yun frowned.

In the world of mortals, there are thousands of benefits, all kinds of right and wrong, and they are all inseparable from a word of money. It is true that the Taoist sect is as rich as an enemy, but Ling Yun does not have much money at this time. After all, he has lived in Xuandu for the past few decades. There is no shortage of everything, and when did you use money, so you didn't bring any money when you went down the mountain this time.

Xu Beiyou, who was carrying a lot of money, took another look at this arrogant Taoist who didn't eat fireworks, but remained silent.

Not to mention that Xu Beiyou would never lend money to a Taoist, even if he was really willing to borrow it, considering Ling Yun's arrogance, he might not be willing to take it.

Sure enough, Ling Yun never said a word to Xu Beiyou, and asked directly: "How much money will it cost to repair these damaged things?"

The magistrate pondered for a while, and did not make any calculations. He estimated a figure that was not too much and said: "The destroyed streets, houses, and towers, including manpower and material resources, will cost about 50 taels of silver."

50 taels is not a big number for Xu Beiyou. With Ling Yun's identity, it is not difficult to get such a sum of money from the Taoist sect. The key is that Ling Yun does not have so much money at the moment.

Of course, Ling Yun can also choose to leave, but if this matter is spread, it will be regarded as ruining his reputation, especially the disciples of the big sect, in this regard, they are destined to be unable to do as they please like casual cultivators.

Ling Yun is a reasonable person. In his opinion, whether it is in the realm of the earth or the immortal, as long as you enter the world, you have to follow the rules of the world. Paying back the debt is justified, and there is nothing wrong with it. I can't deny it.

Ling Yun thought for a while and asked, "What if the poor Taoist came to repair it himself?"

As soon as this remark came out, not only the magistrate and the inspector of the hidden guards, but also Xu Beiyou was surprised.

A majestic Daoist Daoist personally repaired the city gate?This scene is a bit too beautiful, right?
The prefect hesitated and said, "I'm afraid this matter...is not appropriate?"

"What's wrong?" Ling Yun frowned again, "This place was ruined by the poor, so it should be repaired by the poor."

The magistrate mumbled: "I'm afraid of insulting the status of Dazheng."

Ling Yun shook his head and said: "Seeking the Tao and cultivating the truth lies in being born and joining the world. What is joining the world? Traffickers and pawns, farming and grazing, and craftsmen's craftsmanship are all the principles of joining the world. The construction of the city this time is exactly the practice of joining the world."

This time, even Xu Beiyou was a little impressed by this head disciple. If given time, this relatively unknown Daoist patriarch might really be able to carry the way of heaven on his shoulders and become another ascended patriarch of the Daoist sect.

As the rain gradually subsided, Xu Beiyou picked up his bamboo hat and put it on his head again, and said with emotion: "If you were not a member of the Taoist sect, I would really like to make you my friend, but it's a pity that the different ways do not seek each other. Since you decided to stay here , then Xu will leave first."

Ling Yun also didn't have any bad feelings for the first disciple of the Sword Sect, Ji Shou said: "See you again in the imperial capital in the future."

Wherever the magistrate and the secret guard inspectors dared to block the way of a high-ranking earth celestial being, they gave way one after another.

Xu Beiyou and Ling Yun parted ways after a short meeting.
