Chapter 130 Xueling Wine Shop (for subscription)

Although this was quite different from Chu Xian's previous plan, but being able to go to Dinghai County, Liangzhou four years in advance, I think there would be enough time to plan how to deal with the monster invasion.

So Chu Xian not only didn't feel disgusted with this call and appointment, but was very willing to go.

As for the so-called "death in official career", Chu Xian didn't take it seriously at all. He has ways, even if it is in a remote place, it is difficult for others to get promotion opportunities, but he has ways to create opportunities for promotion. As long as he wants, he can use him My own way of transferring away from Liangzhou, and even being promoted to the first rank, the so-called dead end of official career, can't trap people like Chu Xian at all.

He couldn't fly the crane to deliver the letter, but he could send the letter to Jingzhou, so Chu Xian wrote a letter to Cui Huanzhi very carefully, and had the messenger send it away the next day.

For the next time, Chu Xian still practiced behind closed doors, opened the door to eat, and had nothing else to do.

Ling Xiang'er was taken away by the grimace mother-in-law and disappeared. The former number one beauty in the Obscure Moon Pavilion has been replaced by other women. The land of Fengyue has the most beautiful and talented women.

Shen Ziyi did invite Chu Xian to dinner once, but it was only once. At the dinner table, Shen Ziyi told Chu Xian that his parents were playing for real this time. If he wants to study hard, he must pass the provincial examination next year. The top students, so there is no time to eat wine and play around in the future.

As for the inspection department, the officials who stayed behind had already noticed Zhou Fang's 'disappearance', not only notifying the Fengcheng official amulet, but also looking for it for a few days.

Naturally, none were found in the end.

According to Chu Xian's previous deduction, Zhou Fang's being taken away by Monk Lu Guang was probably more of a disaster than a blessing, but Chu Xian didn't bother to take care of it.

Just a few days later, the official document from the Ministry of Officials also arrived in Fengcheng.

On the day the official document arrived, Chu Xian's official rank was raised from the ninth rank to the eighth rank, and the holy power of the official scriptures was once again blessed in the air, and Chu Xian's official power was thus improved a lot. The words on the fish-shaped official talisman also happened together changed.

The news of Chu Xian's "promotion" immediately spread throughout the Inspection Department. At first, everyone was envious and jealous, but after knowing that Chu Xian was transferred to Liangzhou, they turned into pity and pity.

Who doesn't know, that place is the dead end of official career, which is equivalent to concubine concubine being thrown into limbo, fearing that there is no possibility of turning over.

Rumors such as Chu Xian offending others also began to spread wildly.

But for these, Chu Xian ignored them. Today, he received a letter from Feihe from Cui Huanzhi. Obviously, Cui Huanzhi also received the letter written by Chu Xian.

In the biography, Cui Huanzhi expressed his support for Chu Xian's choice, and even told Chu Xian that this time he would treat it as an outside experience, and whenever 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 plans to leave immediately to take up his post in Liangzhou.

Before leaving, Chu Xian wrote a letter to his family, which was nothing more than telling his mother about his current situation and telling her not to worry. In addition, Chu Xian also wrote a letter to Xu Duanfei, asking about Lin County's current situation, his mother's recent situation, Also ask Xu Duanfei to write him a letter back.

After doing all this, Chu Xian called Qi Chengxiang.

"Qi Daochang, do you know my transfer order?" Chu Xian asked, and Qi Chengxiang nodded. Now who doesn't know that although Chu Xian has been promoted to a higher level, he will be transferred to Liangzhou, and as the county magistrate , that can bring two followers, and now everyone is afraid that Chu Xian will let some of them follow, so they have been hiding from 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've already made arrangements, Chief Qi Dao, you will stay in the Inspection Department, and the responsibilities will be assigned by Brother Yan Ji."

Qi Chengxiang shook his head at this moment: "Brother Li told me that I will go wherever my lord goes."

Chu Xian smiled: "Now other people are avoiding me like a god of plague, because the errands in Liangzhou are not easy to do, and there are almost no promotion channels, so why do you bother to come with me, Qi Daochang? Maybe, after going to Liangzhou, it will be difficult to have a bright future."

Qi Chengxiang also laughed: "Don't say that your lord is unparalleled in wit and talent, even if you come to Liangzhou, you will definitely have a bright future. Even if you don't, Qi will swear to follow you to the death, without complaint or regret."

Chu Xian nodded and didn't persuade him any more.

He didn't want to bring Qi Chengxiang with him at the beginning, it was indeed for the sake of the other party, but in fact, it is also good for him to bring Qi Chengxiang with him. When a new official takes office in a different place, he must have trustworthy subordinates around him, otherwise he will be a bare county magistrate, who will take care of him when he speaks for himself?

So in the previous questioning, Chu Xian was just looking at Qi Chengxiang's attitude.

Before leaving, Chu Xian went to ask Shen Ziyi to say goodbye. Shen Ziyi is Xiao Yu's nephew, and he will definitely be useful in the future. Of course, this relationship must be grasped.

Other than that, Chu Xian didn't do anything extra, and just took Qi Chengxiang up.

Except for a few inspection department officials who admired Chu Xian on weekdays, who came out to see him off, others, such as the chief scribe of the inspection department, didn't even show their faces.

When leaving Fengcheng, Chu Xian glanced back. The past of investigating cases in Fengcheng was still vivid in his memory, but at this moment, Chu Xian threw them all to the back of his mind, then turned around, and rode away without looking back.

……

Liangzhou is located in the northwest, and it was the westernmost state of the Tang Dynasty. Even though Chu Xian and Qi Chengxiang traveled day and night, it took a month to enter the boundary of Liangzhou.

The horses alone have been changed several times along the way.

It is now November, winter is entering the north, and Liangzhou is getting colder. It started snowing in the middle of the night yesterday, and by the noon of the next day, it has become like a goose feather. He had plenty of energy and blood, but he had to wear warm clothes. Fortunately, there were preparations at the stations along the road. Chu Xian was an official, so he could take them at will.

On the boundary of Liangzhou, in front of Gushu Ridge, there is a roadside wine shop.

The snow is too heavy, and Chu Xian has heard from the people at the post station that this is the last place to rest before entering Gushu Ridge. It's easy to say, but when it snows, you must be prepared and eat and drink enough before you can leave.

Qi Chengxiang patted Luoxue on his body, settled the horses, then pushed open the door of the restaurant, and Chu Xian followed behind.

Unlike the heavy snow outside, this restaurant is very lively.The restaurant is very large, with only one floor. There are several charcoal fires burning in the room, and around seven or eight large tables, there are 30 people around.

Seeing how they were dressed, they were all on their way, and there were also hunters nearby, but in this weather, they couldn't hunt anything when they went out, so they might as well hide in this hot wine shop to drink and eat meat.

When Chu Xian and Qi Chengxiang came in, they didn't attract many people's attention. They both did their own thing and ate their own food.

They found two vacant seats, sat down, and ordered two jugs of wine, two dishes of meat, and some stews from the waiter.

"My lord, after passing Gushu Ridge ahead, we will be able to reach the boundary of Wushan Mountain in two more days." Qi Chengxiang poured a glass of wine for Chu Xian at this time, and said in a low voice.

Chu Xian nodded, and drank the wine in the glass. Even he was a little tired after running around for a month, and Chu Xian was not only running around, but as long as he was staying overnight, he was not idle, he was cultivating points God Yu Jin Jue'.

In January, Chu Xian miraculously broke through to the stage of 'Night Tour'.

The out-of-body state is divided into five stages, visualization and feeling, observation of the five internal organs, opening of the heavenly acupoint, night travel, and out of the body during the day. When you reach the stage of night travel, you can already go out of the body, but you can only avoid the sun and go out at night. orifice.

The distraction Yujin Jue focuses on manipulating gold and iron, just like Cui Huanzhi can move the iron bell, but regarding the aspect of Yujin, Chu Xian has already had his own plan.

He wants to refine a special weapon.

Yin-Yang Pansi Sword.

There is a forging method for this weapon in the Chu Xian Shenhai library. After training, this long sword like a spider's silk will disappear without a trace, killing enemies invisible, and it can cut gold and silver without any disadvantage.

However, Chu Xian himself was not proficient in forging and refining methods, so he had no forging diagrams, but had to find a powerful master craftsman.

There is no rush for this matter.

At this moment, Chu Xian looked around and had a panoramic view of the situation in the wine shop. He noticed an old man sitting in a remote corner of the wine shop.

What was placed on the old man's table was not wine, vegetables and meat, but a chessboard.

There was no one facing the old man, and it was more like playing chess with himself. Chu Xian looked at the chessboard again. There were not many pieces on it, which seemed to be arranged randomly. The old man shook his head, as if he was dozing off.

Chu Xian withdrew his gaze, and then looked at the others.At this time, a monk who had been in the wine shop for a long time came over, clasped his hands together and saluted Chu Xian and Qi Chengxiang, and said, "Look at these two travel-worn servants, are they guests from afar?"

Chu Xian glanced at the monk.

The Tiantang Holy Dynasty can't help but believe that Taoism is prosperous and Buddhism is prosperous. Of course, it has to be approved and sealed by the Holy Dynasty to be authentic. Other than that, they are all evil sects and demon sects.

Therefore, it is not uncommon to meet some monks.

Chu Xian nodded with a smile, as a greeting, while Qi Chengxiang remained silent, obviously on guard, going out, there must still be a little bit of vigilance.

The monk was not stage frightened, and said: "Since we are guests on the way, we must pass Gushu Ridge for a while. There are monsters haunting that place, and they are very evil. But I, the Buddhist monks in heaven, are merciful and give you two special gifts. As long as the two say the eight words "Heavenly Buddha is above, protect all living beings," then they will receive a body protection magic pearl, and it will be given away for free, and no money will be charged."

Tianfomen?
Chu Xian frowned at the moment.

Among the Buddhist sects recognized and canonized by the Tang Dynasty, there is no such thing as Tianfomen, and Chu Xian consulted the memory of the Shenhai library, and he can be sure that Tianfomen is a cult today.

Of course, Chu Xian was not happy with this.

Because of the remoteness of Liangzhou, there are many heretics heretics, preaching and accepting believers, doing evil things, and Chu Xian knows all of these.

It's just that I didn't expect that I would meet him just a few days after I entered Liangzhou, and in broad daylight, I would actually dare to preach in public.

Chu Xian took a deep breath. In his dream life, he had spent a year in Dinghai County, Liangzhou, so he naturally knew the atmosphere here, and also knew the dirty deeds of Tianfomen.

Originally, he wanted to arrest the preaching monk directly, but Chu Xian knew that even if he captured such a monk, it would be difficult to change the current situation in Liangzhou, so Chu Xian shook his head and said coldly: "Don't give it away for nothing, just go away. "

Waving your hand, you are already chasing people away.

Seeing this, a guest next to him got up immediately and said: "You are so rude. Master Ping kindly gave you things to help you survive the calamity. If you don't appreciate it, you will definitely be unlucky."

At that moment, several people spoke again, and some were still persuading, saying, young man, don't harm yourself because of your ignorance.

Chu Xian never thought that his words would cause so many people to react so strongly.

The monk waved his hand to stop everyone, it can be seen that the monk's status is detached, and the group of people just listened to him.

The monk narrowed his eyes and showed a sneer: "This guest is indeed rude, but I won't be angry. If that's the case, then feel free, but don't blame the monk for not reminding you, I will run into trouble when I go out later." , don't come looking for me."

When the monk said this, he was extremely confident, as if he had something to rely on.

Chu Xian's heart moved, and he already had some guesses.

At this moment, there was a commotion from the outer door of the restaurant, and then several people staggered open the door and fled in.

"Help, help!"

"There really are monsters."

"The driver who was driving the cart was dragged into the snow. I'm afraid it's more than auspicious."

These few people were dressed as merchants, and they were all lost at the moment, as if they had seen something terrible, and they were even a little incoherent.

Seeing the preaching monk, these merchants immediately stepped forward as if seeing a savior, and said, "Master, help me, master. I blamed us for being blind and neglecting the master."

The monk said with a smile: "Look, as I said just now, Gushuling is very evil, and there are often demons haunting it. Out of good intentions, I gave a few of my heavenly Buddha's body protection beads, who would have thought that they would not Appreciate it, and even slander the little monk, it’s really chilling, but our Heavenly Buddha Sect has always been compassionate, as long as a few sincerely admit their mistakes, are willing to believe in our Heavenly Buddha, and enter our Heavenly Buddha Sect, the crisis can be resolved.”

The few merchants were obviously terrified, and they all said at this moment: "We are willing, we are willing, the heavenly Buddha is above, protect all living beings, the heavenly Buddha is above, protecting all living beings."

"Okay, okay!" The monk was very happy. He took out a string of Buddhist beads from his bosom and handed it to one of the merchants. Heavenly Buddha is omnipresent and omniscient, if you break your oath one day, you will be punished by heaven, and even your descendants will be affected."

"Remember, remember, definitely remember, we will build a temple for the Buddha when we go back, and the incense will continue from then on." After the merchant finished speaking, someone next to him immediately said: "It's all your own fault, just listen to Master Ping, no Everything is gone? We are believers of Tianfomen, and we have the prayer beads consecrated by the master in our hands, so the demons dare not get close. You outsiders are ignorant, ignorant and stupid. Now you are reaping the fruit of your own? This is also Master Ping's temperament Gentle and broad-minded, that’s why I forgave you a few, and if it were me, I would let you fend for yourself, who told you not to believe in the Buddha.”

After being outnumbered, the merchants didn't dare to speak back, they could only nod their heads to admit their mistakes, and then they left holding the Buddhist beads in their hands like treasures, and the monk, from the beginning to the end, had an unfathomable expression on his face.

Chu Xian watched the whole process.

At this time, the monk turned his head and said to Chu Xian: "This benefactor, you just saw that those few of you, like you, thought it was the little monk who was lying, and dismissed it at first, but what happened? It’s only after suffering a loss that I suddenly wake up, I really don’t want you two to follow in their footsteps.”

"Master Ping is kind-hearted. If it were me, I would ignore these two foreigners. They deserve to be unlucky."

"That's right, but the master is a master, and he won't be as knowledgeable as these mortals. You two, why don't you come to thank the master, shout out to the heavenly Buddha, protect all living beings, and pray to the heavenly Buddha to bless you."

Chu Xian watched these people sing together, was silent for a moment, and then laughed.

This laughter was extremely loud in the wine shop, but it was very harsh to some people's ears. Those people didn't know what to do, and they looked puzzled. Even Master Na Ping frowned, not understanding Chu Xian. Here's what to do.

"It's a heavenly Buddhist gate, okay, okay, I remember, but I appreciate the kindness of Master Ping. As for whether you believe it or not, I'm not interested in entering your Buddhist gate that day, let's go. "Chu Xian got up at this time and walked away, Qi Chengxiang followed behind, never leaving. The two walked out of the wine shop one after the other, and disappeared into the vast snow.

A guest of a restaurant scolded at this moment: "Shame on your face, ignorant children, but there will be a day when you regret it, and I will guarantee that the two grandchildren will come back crying and beg Master Ping."
