Fu Shifeng

Chapter 134
It is Qingming time, when the grass grows in the outskirts of Chang'an, the grass grows, the flowers are red and the willows are green.

Youth outings in Chang'an have always been very popular. From the [-]th day of the first lunar month, when the fields are slightly green, the women of the city can't wait to dress up and go out.

As for spring outings, the southern suburbs of Chang'an are naturally the first choice, or travel to and from secluded villas and luxurious manors, or set up tents and seats in suburban gardens, where poetry and wine are enjoyed.

Especially during the Spring Examination in February, scholars from all over Chang'an will also meet for outings before and after the announcement of the rankings.Even if you don't have the chance to get the first place, taking this opportunity to make friends with scholars and students, to make friends with dignitaries in the capital, and to gain fame and fame is an indispensable part of coming to Chang'an to take the exam.

Held at the same time as the Imperial Examination Chunwei, there is also the Taoist Examination of Xuandu Temple.It's just that the Taoist examinations are not only Taoist classics, but also the effects of spells. In terms of the number of people who take the examination, it is naturally far inferior to Chunwei.

Moreover, unlike the imperial examination, there is no ranking in the Taoist examination. If you are proficient in the scriptures, you can be awarded the Taoist scriptures and books, and you can get the first Taoism or the Zhengyi Dharma position.If you have the attainment of magic, you can also directly confer higher-level legal titles, and you will be called and appointed by the court in the future.

Chang Qing, who had almost easily obtained the title of Cave God, looked at the few new recruits in front of him, who were having sex with the prostitutes next to him, he only felt the noise and noise, and his thoughts drifted into the distance involuntarily.

Calculating carefully, it has been nearly three months since Cheng Sanwu left Chang'an, so far no news has been sent back, and it is not known how he went to Lingzhou to eliminate demons and whether he was safe or not.

"Qilang, Qilang?" Changqing's thoughts were brought back by calling softly from the side, he turned his head and looked, and saw a beautiful woman beside him holding a wine cup, her eyes shone brightly: "Qilang's mind is not belonged, could it be that Yu Nu is serving you?" Inconsiderate?"

Changqing's expression was indifferent. After he was awarded the title of Cave God at a young age, he not only gained fame among Taoists, but also attracted the attention of Chang'an officials and dignitaries because he was Qilang newly recognized by Lu Xiang.

After the court debates in the early days, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the New Deal led by Prime Minister Lu is about to be implemented in various provinces across the country. In the future, local states and counties may experience a sandstorm, and many people will be dismissed from office. Correspondingly, many positions will be vacated.

Scholars who are interested in official careers must pay close attention to the implementation of the New Deal, and many of them are gearing up, looking forward to being selected and appointed by the Ministry of Officials in the future.

It is precisely because of this that many people look at Changqing and want to use this Lu family Qilang to cling to Prime Minister Lu, so as to participate in the implementation of the New Deal in the future and gain a firm foothold in the official career.

Originally, Changqing hated others to regard him as Qilang of the Lu family, and even disdained those who flattered the powerful and tried their best to cling to them.

After the Taoist event, Changqing intends to close the door to thank the guests and concentrate on practicing Taoism and martial arts, but Daoist Daoist does not agree with this approach.

"The effect of Taoism and swordsmanship are, after all, only the achievements of one person. If you want to benefit all people and benefit the people, you can't rely on Taoism and martial arts alone, and you can't do it alone."

"Does Master want me to have more contacts with those people?" Chang Qing asked.

"Who are those people you are talking about?" Daguan Daoist smiled faintly: "Many people who worry about the country and the people are not in their positions, and they have no way to contribute. They can only visit the nobles in order to advance to the next level."

After pondering, Changqing nodded and said: "I understand, no matter what kind of career you want to achieve, you must have connections and reputation. If you have like-minded people, you can do things with ease."

"You don't have to force yourself too much to be like-minded." Daguan Daoist said: "People in the world have different likes and dislikes, and the gains and losses may not be the same. You have to be in harmony with the light, and when you have to develop a general trend, like a river, there will naturally be people who share the same goals with you. .”

That being said, when Changqing and these scholars went out for an outing in the city and saw that they were all vulgar and prostitutes, they really couldn't bring themselves to "be in peace with them".

Changqing vaguely felt that these people were not even as good as Cheng Sanwu.Although that guy is stupid and reckless, he occasionally has sharp insights into the chaos of the world.

"It's nothing." After taking the wine cup from Yu Nu, Chang Qing was not interested in these famous prostitutes in Nuanyu Pavilion in Pingkangfang, only felt that they were all vulgar fans, far inferior to Senior Yingjun.

Thinking of this, Chang Qing quickly shook his head, secretly cursing himself for being obscene towards Senior Ying Jun, his face was truly detestable.

In the past few months, Changqing also met privately with senior Yingjun several times, and he got advice from the expert himself, and his swordsmanship also improved by leaps and bounds.

Moreover, Changqing discovered that with the deepening of his kung fu, "Liuhong Piercing the Moon Sword" gradually fits subtly with his own foundation of Taoism, especially when he imagines the true form of the general, the weapon in the general's hand also becomes a long sword, and he swung it The eight poles seem to have the power to cut off the sky and cut the clouds.

Changqing's comprehension is extraordinary, he felt that there might be more changes in "Liuhong Piercing the Moon Sword", but out of respect for his senior, he didn't dare to make changes without authorization, so he had to wait for the next meeting with Senior Yingjun to mention it.

But this opportunity came sooner than expected.

The group of scholars had spent half a day outing and having a banquet. They were so drunk that they came to a guest house in the southern suburbs to stay overnight.Not long after nightfall, Changqing politely declined Yu Nu's embrace, then heard the call from the flute again, and immediately set off to go.

After running for seven or eight miles, they came to a quiet manor. Before entering, they could feel the sword energy forming an formation all over the garden.

Senior Yingjun has already attained the innate realm, and the Liuhong Piercing Moon swordsmanship cannot be regarded as an ordinary martial art in her hands.Even if Changqing is proficient in Taoism, it is still difficult to resist Senior Yingjun's sword energy.

"come in."

Hearing that Senior Yingjun's voice transmission was secret, Changqing bowed his hands towards the gate of the manor and said yes, but found that the sword energy in the garden had not dissipated, and he could not enter at all.

Chang Qing opened his mouth to ask, but before he could speak out, he suddenly realized that Senior Ying Jun called him in, and it is impossible to forget to restrain his sword energy, this move must be a test for himself.

Having figured this out, Changqing pulled out the jade-handled potter's wheel sword at his waist, held the sword and bowed and said: "The junior has offended you."

With a serious face and concentrated attention, Changqing raised his sword and exercised strength, and a subtle sword intent pointed out along with the sword's edge, facing the gate of the manor.

The sword array in the garden seemed to be inducted, silently and spontaneously, turning into several flowing rainbows and rushing towards them.

Changqing didn't need to look carefully, he felt the sword intent, and his body used his moves naturally, and he fought Liuhong, as if he was confronting an invisible swordsman.

Liuhong lightly passed the two willow trees outside the gate of the manor, and the willow leaves fell silently. Together with Liuhong, they immediately turned into more than a dozen sword lights, coming from all directions.Seeing this, Changqing moved his feet and moved his body, shuttled among the flowing rainbow sword lights, stabbed swiftly with his sword, and made a clanging sound when the sharp edges intersected.

However, the continuous offensive still suppressed Changqing without a chance to breathe.

When Senior Yingjun got along with Changqing, he never had the slightest stern look on his face, but when it comes to teaching swordsmanship, she will not be tolerant or indulgent.Especially during duel training, the offensive almost never stopped, forcing Changqing to use all his strengths to deal with the moves. Such constant hard work made the rapid progress of Changqing's swordsmanship.

Faced with continuous attacks, Changqing could only use swordsmanship to deal with it, and couldn't distract himself from casting spells at all.

However, this time the sword energy attack became faster and faster, and in a blink of an eye, the rainbow flowed like training, almost covering Changqing's figure.

Seeing that no matter how difficult it is to resist, Changqing made a decisive decision, and with a low drink, the sapphire sword hilt suddenly glowed, and immediately covered the sword edge, and when it was moved out, it turned out to be a rainbow!
The two swords competed, the rainbows overlapped, and the sword shadows were confused for a while. If there were others by the side, the naked eyes would have been unable to distinguish the moves and moves.

I saw Changqing handing out a sword in the chaos, and the momentum of piercing the moon was unstoppable. In one fell swoop, he swung the rainbow sword aura in all directions to besiege.

As soon as his feet were on the ground, Changqing's legs softened. It turned out that Caixing's energy was too strong, causing him to lose strength, lose his balance, and staggered forward.

At this moment, Changqing's eyes blurred, and someone reached out to support him, but he threw himself into the other's arms without hesitation, his face was immediately buried in a soft touch, and he could smell a cool and delicate fragrance, like watching the mist in the mountains and forests after the rain The tossing makes people forget the mundane world and fall into sleep involuntarily.

In a trance, Changqing dreamed of many things.For a while, Lu Yan was standing beside his mother's bed, talking to her with a heavy face, but he couldn't hear the conversation at all; At the height of Songyue Mountain again, looking up at the stars in the sky silently wandering and rotating, as if I will become one of the stars.

And at the end of the dream, Changqing came to the glazed palace again, the woman in neon clothes and feather clothes stood up and raised her eyes, her red lips opened and closed:
"help me."

As soon as this remark came out, Changqing suddenly woke up and sat up, and when he looked up, he saw that he was in a bedroom with simple furnishings around, but there were a few ordinary cabinets and shelves, and there was no extra decoration.It was still pitch black outside the window, and I thought I hadn't been asleep for too long.

"you're awake?"

Senior Ying Jun's voice came from the side, and she was seen sitting by the desk, using the light of the oil lamp, hands together with sword fingers, vainly drawing a needle and thread to mend clothes.

This scene is so strange no matter how you look at it. Senior Ying Jun is called a sword fairy in the world. It is not likely that she would be able to do trivial mundane tasks such as sewing and mending clothes, but she just did it.But her demeanor is not like that of an ordinary female celebrity, but she uses the way of the sword to thread the needle, which is inconceivably sublime.

However, when Changqing took a closer look, the clothes on Senior Yingjun's hand happened to be the royal blue gown with crane and cloud pattern that he was wearing today.This piece of clothing is elegant and luxurious, but also has a dusty and fairy style. It was sent by Mrs. Lu Xiang a few days ago to congratulate herself on being conferred the title of Cave God.Changqing usually thinks it is too expensive, and would not show it off, but today he took the initiative to wear it because he had to socialize with a group of scholars.

"When you broke through the sword formation I set up, your robe was cut several times." Senior Yingjun saw through Changqing's doubts and said proactively.

Changqing hurriedly dissuaded: "Senior, why bother with such trivial matters? I'll take it to a tailor and repair it later."

Senior Ying Jun's tone was flat, but he concealed some unquestionable points: "I also work as a needlework worker when I have nothing to do in my spare time, and I don't think there is any work to do."

"Oh..." After getting along these days, Changqing knew that Senior Ying Jun seemed easy-going, but what she decided to do could not be shaken by others, so she stopped talking.

Changqing looked at Senior Ying Jun, whose appearance was illuminated by the dim light of the oil lamp, and for some reason reminded him of his mother, but in Changqing's memory, his mother had never been a female celebrity.

"Did the junior faint just now?" Changqing asked again.

"You exhausted your strength for a short time, and you collapsed into a coma. I have adjusted your Qimai for you." Senior Ying Jun said.

Changqing looked down at himself, his inner shirt was loose, he tidied it up quickly, but suddenly thought of throwing himself into Senior Yingjun's arms before he passed out, which made him feel ashamed.

However, despite being ashamed, Changqing felt a strange thought in his heart. The soft touch and cool fragrance were still fresh in his memory, which made him dare not raise his eyes to look at Senior Yingjun.

"Your saber's jade handle can store Qi, and when you face a strong enemy, it can indeed reverse the decline." Senior Ying Jun said: "But it is not enough to store Qi, I will pass it on later. You have a method of cultivating swords with true energy, based on this, you may be able to practice flying swords."

Changqing was very pleasantly surprised when he heard the words, and immediately bowed down and saluted: "Thank you for teaching the Dharma, senior!"

Senior Ying Jun just nodded slightly, and then asked: "When you broke the formation just now, there seemed to be several saber moves hidden in your swordplay."

Changqing didn't dare to hide anything, and explained: "The younger generation used to practice for many days with a martial artist who is proficient in sword skills in order to hone his sword skills, and he also learned some sword skills without knowing it... Could it be that the younger generation did it? wrong?"

Senior Yingjun shook his head lightly: "Although the Liuhong Guanyue Sword has moves, it never asks people to stick to a set style. Just like I will not force your swordsmanship to be as good as mine, it is the fusion of your own foundation. valid reason."

"This junior also thinks the same way." Changqing was very moved in his heart. He originally thought this way, and he was worried that he would not be accepted. Fortunately, Senior Ying Jun is quite open-minded.

"In the future, I will not summon with the sound of flute again." Senior Ying Jun said suddenly.

"Why?" Chang Qing was startled when he heard the words, and climbed a few steps on the bed, showing a panicked look: "Did I make a mistake and offend senior?"

Ying Jun looked up, his eyes were clear, without any distracting thoughts, and he didn't hide the sharp sword intent like before, which made Chang Qing feel ashamed.

"You have achieved a little success in swordsmanship, and you will have to master it by yourself in the future. Naturally, you don't need to give me any more advice." Jun Ying didn't mean to blame him: "I have other things, and you will also be appointed by the court in the future. Where to go."

Chang Qing lowered his head, clenched his hands into fists, feeling extremely reluctance in his heart.During these days in Chang'an, he can be regarded as famous and wealthy, with a bright future, but he has no joy in his heart.Only in front of Senior Yingjun and Master Daguan, can I forget my troubles, get rid of the eyes of the worldly people, and completely obey my heart.

Seeing him like this, Mr. Ying was silent for a moment, and took the initiative to say comforting words: "Don't worry, I will also feel it when you master your swordsmanship in the future. Maybe then is the time when you and I will see each other again."
