The national teacher does not practice

Chapter 173 The "Reborn" who died and disappeared in Jianzhengshe ([-] characters for subscription)

The sun was hot and the cicadas were singing.

In Yi Jing Zhai, an old man and a "young man" were separated from each other by the divination table covered with yellow silk cloth, smiling at each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became strange and quiet.

After Ji Pingan finished speaking, he slowly picked up the teapot on the table, and took out two blue and white cups. With a lift of his wrist, amidst the sound of "chi chi", the brown tea collided with the cup wall and swirled to fill it up.

Dressed like an ordinary old man, Qin Tianjian with white beard and white hair paused his hands stroking his beard, his eyes enlarged slightly, and his expression showed a moment of astonishment.

The first thought was absolutely impossible!
The self-confidence of being a star official in the sky-observing realm made him completely unacceptable to be seen through by a young junior.

In other words, it is too shocking to the Three Views, and too unreasonable.

In particular, Ji Pingan didn't even activate "astrology" just now under the cover of his spiritual consciousness...

The second thought was to realize that I was wrong. I am afraid that the other party has already guessed my identity through clues, so of course there is no need for divination...

Perhaps it was a psychological effect, the smile on the corner of the boy's mouth suddenly became dazzling.

It's ridiculous that he even pretended to change his appearance, beat it deliberately, and even imagined the other party's reaction in his heart, so that he was complacent.

So, in the eyes of the other party, does my action just now look ridiculous?
Thinking of this, although he is old, the old prisoner who loves to play by nature suddenly feels uncomfortable, his old face is hot.

And Ji Pingan seemed to be able to see through his thoughts, he pinched a teacup with two fingers and pushed it in front of him with a bright smile:

"It's hot, clear tea to get rid of the heat."

"..." Qin Tianjian was silent for a while, deliberately making a gesture of indifference, and his eyes showed a gesture like a school exam:
"How do you see the identity of this seat?"

Ji Pingan smiled, picked up the teacup and took a sip first, moistened his throat, and then said:
"Two days ago, I went to Pei's family and talked with the mistress of Pei's family. I learned that she was instructed by the old master of the academy. There are not many Si Li with such divination ability. But I asked when I came out of God's capital, but I didn't know about it. Which secretary will come to Yuhang recently.

Therefore, it can only be a star official who has traveled abroad. Based on the information I know, as well as the approximate age and temperament, there are not many options left. "

The old prisoner was nodding his head, shook his head again, and said:

"But this is still not enough to support you to make a judgment, and with your ability, it is not enough to know my identity through astrology."

He has tampered with his fate, and if outsiders divination him, they will only get the result that he is indeed "Si Li".

Ji Pingan took it for granted:
"So I just 'cheated' casually."

Casually... Exploded... Qin Tianjian's cheek muscles twitched again, his beard was trembling, and he suffered a second heart piercing.

I realized that my goal of establishing prestige today was completely ruined.

Although, Jian Zheng is kind and kind by nature, especially for the juniors, he is not too coercive.

Ji Ping'an looked at the micro-expression of his "big disciple" with great interest, feeling quite happy.

If Gou Hanyi was the first servant to follow him, then Jianzheng is the one who truly inherited his "star official" mantle.

Compared with Li Guofeng and others, Jianzheng practiced with him when he was young. Although he did not catch up with the founding group, he caught up with the golden age when the national teacher guarded the Great Zhou.

When Huang Chen, the supervisor of the Tuyuan, was still a "Huang Man'er", he couldn't kneel down when his mother brought him to Qintian in a snowy day. It was him, the "big brother", who took care of him.

More than 100 years ago, after the national teacher retreated, Jianzheng actually began to take charge of Qintianjian.

Xu Shi has been with the national teacher for too long, and the shadow of the "Great Zhou National Teacher" remains on Jian Zheng's body.

For example, as a big man, he is quite down-to-earth, looks at people with a smile, for example, often has some "bad tastes"... I have learned a lot.

The son is like his father, and the disciple is like his teacher, probably like this.

It's a pity that Jianzheng kicked the "bad taste" patriarch today, and the gap in rank is fully exposed.

"Haha."

The prisoner suddenly laughed, waved his sleeves, picked up the teacup and drank it down in one gulp, to cover up his embarrassment, then smacked his lips and forced his respect:
"Li Guofeng mentioned in the letter that Qin Tianjian has produced a young genius who is bold, careful, and extremely intelligent. It is really good to see him today."

Then he said in admiration:
"Eradicate the shadows, heal the disputes of the five courts, lure the snakes out of the cave at the Luming Banquet, boost morale during the martial arts performance, and win the first prize at the Shendu... Although I haven't seen it, I have heard it. I don't want you to come to Yuhang for a short time. Over time, you did all these things again, smashing the Four Sacred Religions, attacking Banyue Villa at night, and Qi Hongmian's arrival, it must have something to do with you."

Ji Ping'an was amused, and could understand the meaning of the other party's words.

The old prisoner made this comment, on the surface it was a compliment, but it was actually a beating.

The real meaning is in the second half of the sentence, which intends to express the meaning that Ji Pingan has everything in his eyes and under his control by pointing out what Ji Pingan secretly planned and did.

Translated, it is:
You're too young, don't think that you're doing things secretly, it's no secret in the eyes of the old man.

When a normal person is revealed by an outsider, they will subconsciously be nervous, panic, and feel awe...

This trick was learned from the "National Teacher", and every time it was used in the past, it was invincible.

However, when Ji Pingan heard these words, instead of panicking as he wished, his eyes became more and more strange. He said "En" and smiled:

"Jianzheng is worthy of being the strongest star official in the world. I have admired him for a long time. I heard that in the past, he ran wildly under the moon to pursue a certain musician fairy in Molin. The music was played and sung for him, and the lyrics moved the heavens and moved people to tears. I remember the original text of the words seems to be... my dear 'Lian'..."

The old supervisor's face changed suddenly, and he felt goosebumps all over his body, and he stopped loudly:
"Don't read it!"

Seeing Ji Pingan cast puzzled eyes, he quickly covered his face and waved his hands, begging for mercy, and said with a wry smile:

"Li Guofeng said that the national teacher told you a lot about the past, but the old man didn't quite believe it before..."

The corners of Ji Pingan's mouth curled up slightly.

No one can withstand a public execution.

Reading love poems aloud is a weapon of mass destruction on the same level as publishing QQ space chatter...By breaking the news, let the other party die... This is a new method he summed up from the experience of being read aloud several times.

As the saying goes: what doesn't kill me makes me stronger.

In a short period of time, the two confronted each other twice, and the supervisor was defeated in both cases.

While sighing and admiring, the old prisoner finally gave up playing tricks, sighed, and said quietly:

"I heard that you are practicing in Muyuan. Didn't Xu Xiurong teach you to respect your teacher?"

Ji Pingan said with a smile: "According to seniority, I am not a disciple either."

The supervisor looked at him deeply for a few seconds, then suddenly sighed:
"I finally know why the national teacher chose you as the last successor. Although the old man was not able to follow the national teacher when he was young, it is expected that the national teacher will probably be like this when he is your age."

Ji Pingan smiled, didn't answer, and got serious:

"The prisoner came here today, not just to tease me."

The prisoner stroked his beard and said:
"The main thing is to have a look at you, and besides, to ask about Qi Hongmian."

As a star official in the sky-observing realm, there are not many things that the supervisor cannot deduce in the slightest. It just so happens that the incidents involving the "Shenzang" realm are listed here.

Ji Pingan was not surprised, and immediately brought out the set of rhetoric he made up.

After listening quietly, the supervisor nodded slowly, with a serious face:

"You did the right thing. Now Kyushu is in turmoil. Overtly and secretly, all forces are uneasy. Master Xu's smooth return is also an example for all major forces. However, if there is a similar situation in the future, the old man hopes that you can notify Academy."

"The supervisor is planning to stay in Yuhang?" Ji Pingan asked tentatively.

The old star official with white hair and beard sighed, nodded and said:
"In the future, the Central Plains will become a place for all forces to compete for. If the national teacher returns, he probably won't go to the capital of God, but he will definitely come to Lanzhou."

Ji Pingan agreed with a face: "The supervisor has a good opinion."

The old star official smiled, and finally regained a little confidence:
At least, this judgment can be called a high-level strategic plan, and I have regained a little bit of face.

Just about to chat a few more words, suddenly he raised his eyebrows, got up and said with a smile:

"Let's be like this today. The old man will leave first, so you won't be delayed in doing business. If you need it, you can come to the academy to find me."

After speaking, he flicked his sleeves, and his figure turned into starlight, and the spots disappeared.

so suddenly?Ji Pingan was a little surprised, he chewed the first half of the disciple's sentence thoughtfully.

……

……

When Ye Hongling stepped into Laoliu Street and looked up to find "Yi Jing Zhai", she looked at it for a few seconds as if confirming, and then stepped into the threshold.

Looking at the calm looking young man behind the hexagram table, the female warrior raised her eyebrows:
"But Li Anping the hexagram master?"

Ji Pingan folded his hands, his eyes were strange, and he wondered what happened today.

One by one...with a calm expression on his face, he said with a smile:
"The head of Yesi has arrived, and the succulent plants are shining. I don't know what to do?"

This is the default identity.

Ye Hongling asked in surprise, "You recognize me?"

Ji Pingan pointed to her clothes with a smile:

"There must be only one female military officer of this rank in the entire Yuhang City, Yesi."

Ye Hongling was dumb, with a self-deprecating smile on her pretty face:
"Recently, there have been frequent cases. There are many affairs in the yamen, and the mind is exhausted. It makes me laugh. I came here this time because I knew from Mr. Pei that Mr. He is very good at divination, so I want to invite Mr. to come out of the mountain to help with the investigation. case."

This is half true.

A group of warriors from the demon slaying division did have a need to seek "wild" hexagram masters when they could not seek help from the Taoist sect, and it was true to invite someone to investigate the case.

But apart from that, Ye Hongling also had another purpose, which was to take the opportunity to observe this hexagram master.

Pei's case was too weird. After returning that night, Ye Hongling tried to ask Pei Wei, but the latter refused to mention it.Aristocratic families, when dealing with the imperial court, tend to keep vigilance and distance.

Ye Hongling couldn't get an answer, and it was difficult to put pressure on Pei, so she tried to investigate and sort out the entire context of the case.

Two of them were found to play a key role.

One is a star official of the "Onmyoji Academy", so it's not easy to investigate.

In addition, it is the divination master of Yijingzhai... So, today's invitation can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

"The case?" Ji Pingan was a little surprised, and as his thoughts fluctuated, he guessed eighty-nine points of Ye Hongling's purpose, but it was all expected.

Pei's case involving the reborn person will inevitably attract the attention of the court.

He went there with many hexagram masters that day, and later, the Pei family even offered a generous gift, which seemed to be impossible to escape the sight of the government.

But it was unexpected that Ye Hongling came to him to investigate the case.

Wait... When the old prisoner said before leaving that he would not delay my business, was he implying that this case could be accepted?While Ji Pingan was thinking about it, Ye Hongling said calmly:

"Yes. It is a case of mysterious disappearance involving Xishan Academy. As far as I know, a scholar named 'Xie Wensheng' in the academy disappeared suddenly last night and was suspected of being taken away. There are signs of a fight, After the Shanzhang of the academy sued the officials, he transferred it to kill the demon division."

Ji Ping'an's eyes blinked: "It's just being taken away, so it won't alarm Chief Ye."

Ye Hongling said "En", and said surprisingly:

"After understanding, the fight was suspected to involve monks. And... the scholar who was taken away accidentally fell into the lake more than a month ago, and after being rescued and returned, his temperament changed drastically."

Ji Pingan's eyes suddenly flashed a sharp light, but he concealed it well, pretending to be surprised:
"It sounds strange that there is such a thing."

There was already a storm in his heart, if Ye Hongling hadn't lied, then the scholar would be very suspicious.

And who took him away?Also looking for the power of the Reborn?

He pretended to ponder for a moment, stood up and nodded:

"The head of the department personally invites you, and there is no reason to refuse."

Ye Hongling exhaled lightly, smiled and said:

"Then please follow me for a walk."

……

Hang a "CLOSED" sign outside and lock the store door.

Under the curious gazes of the neighbors, Ji Pingan and Ye Hongling walked out of Laoliu Street together and joined the rest of the demon slayers.

And assigned a free horse, a group of people rushed towards the west gate and Xishan Academy with a "da da da".

Jiangnan is a province of scientific research, with a prosperous literary style and many academies.

Xishan Academy is a well-known one among the many academies in the suburbs to the west of Yuhang.

The students in the city usually live in the courtyard, and only occasionally go to the city when they are on vacation, or when the rice and noodles run out.

Simply put, it is an environment that is relatively isolated from the outside world.

This is also the reason why the personality of the scholar named "Xie Wensheng" changed drastically, but no one noticed it for so long.

The sun was shining brightly, a group of people rode their horses and galloped, and slowly slowed down their horses when they got closer to the academy.

"Is the Xishan Academy in front of you? The scenery is pretty good."

Ji Pingan rode a rough horse, held the rein in his hand, and looked at the foot of a green mountain in front of him, a large area of ​​school buildings, surrounded by green pine lawns, and the mountains behind were gentle and gradually steep.

A hanging waterfall falls, hidden birds take off.

Strange to say, perhaps the water vapor has evaporated, but this bright summer day is actually shrouded in clouds and mist.

Ye Hongling's eyelashes trembled, and she said "En" with emotion:

"Xishan Academy was originally called Xishanju, and the original site was the property of a family in the south of the Yangtze River in the past. It was only after the dynasty changed that it was occupied by various rebels in turn. After the Great Zhou Dingding, it was changed to an academy.

On the mountain behind is the Human Realm, you should have heard that there is a legendary figure on it, who is a strong swordsman who was supported by the national teacher back then. Many years ago, he was only one step away from watching the sky.

Outsiders only know that this official is in charge of the demon slaying division, and the Patriarch of the Pei family is in charge of the largest clan in Yuhang, but they don't know that when it comes to martial arts, the two of us are far inferior to that Mr. Qi. "

When she spoke, her eyes showed yearning and admiration undisguised.

Didn't notice the weird look in Ji Ping'an's eyes who were walking side by side:
"Oh? I've heard about it a little bit. It's just that I haven't had a chance to see him since I came to Yuhang not long ago. However, since he is such a strong person and he is not far from Xishan Academy, how can he turn a deaf ear to his disappearance?"

Ye Hongling corrected:

"First, it can't be said to turn a deaf ear, at least we haven't asked about it yet. Second, Mr. Qi has kept his precepts all year round and sharpened his sword in the sword hut. It is said that it has been a hundred years and he has never gone down the mountain. Going down the mountain, naturally you can't know the little things down the mountain."

No... I'll just say something casually about your tone, you fan girl. Why do you have an attitude of defending your brother... Ji Pingan complained in his heart.

He didn't say anything more, but when he looked at the "Xishan" shrouded in clouds and mist, there was a trace of nostalgia and emotion in his eyes.

All the supervisors have come to see him, the "junior", so they have come, do you want to wait to find time to meet "Xiao Qi"?
……

Da da da li, a group of people rode their horses for a while, and finally arrived at Xishan Academy.

Leaving the horses outside for others to look after, Ji Pingan and Ye Hongling stepped inside, and soon saw the "Shan Zhang" named Qiu here.

Analogy to the principal.

Akiyama Chief is a middle-aged man with a good appearance, wearing a Confucian robe. When he saw a group of officials coming, he hurried forward to salute:
"Director Ye, you are here."

Judging from the tone of voice, it seemed that she knew Ye Hongling.

Sure enough, Ye Hongling was not as cold and majestic as usual, and his expression was a little softer. He introduced Ji Pingan next to him, and only said that he was an invited helper from the Taoist sect, and asked about the case.

Akiyama gave a wry smile and said:
"This incident is really strange. Yesterday, everything went as usual, but at night when the students went back to sleep, Xie Wensheng left a bit late, and stayed alone in the dormitory to study, but he didn't want to hear the sudden noise of a fight. The students hurried over to have a look. I saw a mess, people disappeared, and I couldn’t find them everywhere.”

He briefly described the situation.

Ji Pingan didn't say a word, and after listening quietly, he said:
"I don't know where the school is, can you take us there to have a look."

Qiu Shanchang did not dare to be rude to this "taoist master", and hurriedly said:

"Of course, after the incident, I ordered people to seal the place, and no outsiders were allowed to enter."

Tsk, the scene will be sealed off... The old informant... Ji Ping'an thought.

Not long after, the group arrived at a locked room.

After Akiyama opened the door, the two of them were invited to enter.

Ye Hongling didn't rush to take a step, but looked at Ji Pingan and made a "please" gesture.

As a martial artist, Ye Hongling has always been respectful in this kind of professional work.

And this scene fell in Qiu Shanchang's eyes, and he looked at Ji Ping'an with more and more awe, as if he looked down on someone superior.

Ji Ping'an was not polite, stepped onto the threshold, and immediately frowned.

I saw that the tables and chairs in the whole school were tilted here and there, and they had obviously been hit. There were still traces of fighting and friction on the ground, scars from sword chopping, and some scorching marks from spells.

Ji Ping groaned for a moment, pretended to formulate formulas, and muttered something, then took out a small porcelain bowl, opened it, picked up a little cinnabar with his fingers and wiped it on his eyelids, this is the Taoist "opening the eyes of the sky" ceremony.

In fact, it was secretly operating the "Da Yan Tian Ji Jue", trying to use the scene as a medium to divination what happened last night.

next second.

With a bang, the seven lights in the sky turned, and broken pictures flooded Ji Ping'an's mind one after another.

……

It’s embarrassing that I didn’t make it up. I made a detailed outline today. .
