Fu Shifeng

Chapter 62
"Tomorrow before noon, Mr. Xiang will have a moment of free time after eating. I have already arranged it for you."

In the Kungang Courtyard, an official from the Prime Minister's Mansion in a dark green robe held his head high, looked at Su Wangting who bowed his head, and smiled with his hands behind his back: "Brother Su, don't be too short. The Prime Minister is busy with business, you I know everything well. In just half an hour of the meal, I have to meet several governors who have come to Beijing to report on their duties."

On the second day after meeting with Wang Yuanbao in Puji Temple, Prime Minister Lu, who had been delaying meeting him, suddenly got news.The person who came to inform the news was the same as Su Wangting, working under Lu Xiang's family.However, looking at the green robe of the other party, it seems that he is now a sixth-rank official, and he dare not say that he has made great achievements, but compared with Su Wangting, it can be described as a world of difference.

"Brother Chai helped me this time, and my younger brother will never forget it. It's just a small gift, so please accept it with a smile." Su Wangting stuffed a kit into the opponent's hand, crossing his hands again and again as a salute.

Tongshi Chai weighed the kit, and saw the golden color like fish scales from the gap in the opening, his brows stretched, and his smile revealed, but quickly returned to normal.

"Brother Su's livelihood is not easy, so let me tell you a few more words." Tongshi Chai put away the kit, coughed lightly and said: "Master Xiang always doesn't like trivial words, you only have a moment, so don't be flattering." It's a waste of time to say hello. Don't give a big decoration as a gift, the Prime Minister doesn't have time to look at it on weekdays."

"My little brother knows." Su Wangting secretly smiled inwardly. He had been doing business in the Western Regions for many years, but he actually made this Chai Tong look down on him.

"Okay, I'm on official business, so I can't stay too long. Brother Su, come to the Prime Minister's Mansion early tomorrow to report. Your name is already in the visitor book." Tongshi Chai waved his hand as if ordering his servants. , turned and left arrogantly.

When this Chai Tong went away, Cheng Sanwu came from the side, with a slightly displeased tone: "This guy knows how to look at people with his nostrils, and only you, Old Su, can bear it."

Su Wangting straightened his body and sighed softly: "If you ask for help, you naturally have to keep your voice low. In fact, Chai Tong is not easy. Although he is a sixth-rank official, I just saw that his shoes and boots are old. If I want to come to Chang'an, I also save money." Not too much money."

Changqing also came to the side at this time, and couldn't help questioning: "We just met Wang Yuanbao yesterday, and Lu Xiang sent someone to summon him today. How could it be such a coincidence?"

"You suspect that Mr. Lu has been sending people to watch us?" Cheng Sanwu hurriedly stood on tiptoe and looked around, as if looking for someone to peep in the next courtyard.

"Anyway, since I came to Chang'an, I have been vaguely feeling someone else's gaze, but I can't determine the identity of the other party." Chang Qing frowned.

Su Wangting was not surprised: "It's not a secret that we settled in the Wang's residence, and on the surface, I was not summoned by Prime Minister Lu, but I was asking for a gift and wanted to visit."

"It's a mess." Cheng Sanwu cursed, turned and went to the back kitchen.

Looking at Cheng Sanwu's back, Su Wangting said in a low voice: "Changqing, if Master Lu sends someone to monitor the Kungang Academy, it means he knows your existence."

Changqing's face darkened: "Since he knew it, but he didn't dare to speak out, it can be seen that he has a guilty conscience!"

Su Wangting remained silent. Although he had not worked with Lu Xiang for many years, he thought he still knew a little about the old officer.

Lu Xiang is not an idiot who complains about men and women, and he will definitely not give up his career because of a momentary love.Back then when Su Wangting was in charge of purchasing the property, Lu Xiang didn't say much about the identity of the mother and son who needed to be settled. He just happened to catch a glimpse of the beautiful woman, and he thought it was inconvenient to reveal his identity, otherwise it would hinder Lu Xiang's future career.

"Changqing, do you plan to meet Lu Xiangye?" Su Wangting asked after thinking about it.

Changqing opened his mouth and wanted to refuse, but he fantasized more than once in his heart that when he rushed in front of that person, he would question him sharply, and even wished to drag him to his mother's grave and kneel down to admit his mistake.

However, at this moment when Su Wangting asked such a question, Changqing felt inexplicably uneasy and hesitated.

"Listen to my persuasion." Su Wangting stepped forward and patted Changqing on the shoulder: "Unless Mr. Lu has a call, you should not take the initiative to meet. In the past, there was neither kindness nor status. Now we don't see each other, but each other Peace."

Changqing nodded silently, it's not that he doesn't understand this truth.

"What are you guys talking about?" At this moment, Cheng turned around, holding a piece of mustard biscuit in his hand, chewing it with relish.

Su Wangting changed the subject without hesitation: "When I meet Prime Minister Lu tomorrow, if I have nothing else to do, I'm going to leave for Huazhou."

Cheng Sanwu's eyes lit up: "Old Su, are you going back to your hometown?"

"Actually, it's time to go back." Su Wangting asked with a smile, "Do you want to come together?"

"Of course I'm going!" Cheng Sanwu slapped his thigh, staring and said: "Back then you boasted that your mother-in-law could cook boiled goat, and you talked so much that it made me drool, and then you told me to go with 'Hulu' Feilong' desperately, I will remember this! When I get to your house, I won't leave until I have enough food!"

"Hulu Feilong?" Changqing couldn't understand why.

"There is a Hulu River in the west of Gumo Prefecture. The area is rich in water and grass, which is suitable for grazing." Su Wangting explained: "But there used to be a group of rebels who came and went like the wind. They called themselves 'Hulu Feilong' and often robbed merchants. At that time, Baochang Club’s business had just picked up and was about to make a name for itself, so I let Lao Cheng do the job.”

Cheng Sanwu groaned, like a child playing with his temper: "What kind of bullshit flying dragon, relying on the speed of the horse and the bow. I took advantage of the time when they were drinking and resting, and rushed over. Their boss hadn't climbed on the horse. Just get shot in the head with a spear from me!"

"As expected of you." Changqing laughed, unable to tell whether it was a compliment or a sarcasm.

"Do you want to come together?" Su Wangting asked: "Although Huazhou is not as prosperous as Chang'an, my ancestral house is quite spacious, and it is located in the countryside, which is better than being quiet."

Changqing thought about it for a second, and replied: "That's fine, Xiyue Taihua is in Huazhou, and it is also a famous mountain and blessed place. I will go to find some fairy traces by the way."

……

After agreeing on future arrangements, the sky was getting dark, and the three of them had their own places.Cheng Sanwu practiced boxing, kicking and knife skills, and then whistled to the backyard to feed the horses; Su Wangting wrote documents, memorized the words, and prepared to meet Lu Xiang tomorrow; Changqing returned to his room, took out the rubbings, and sat Shore ponders, writes and draws.

Although the foreign characters engraved on the obelisk by Angutiti have not yet been fully deciphered, Changqing has already delved into some mysteries.

Whether it's Taoism's establishment of governance and prisons, the method of Liuding Liujia, or the Buddhist mandala mandala method, and the threat of heavenly kings and warriors, this kind of enchantment is all rigorous in law and complete in rituals.

During the days in Chang'an, although he hadn't traveled all over the place yet, the roads here were straight and dense, which made Changqing feel differently. Perhaps when the imperial capital was built in the previous dynasty, it also implied the intention of arranging an enchantment.

However, the big enchantment arranged by Anqi Ti in Tianchi using dragon energy is not the same way.Although this great enchantment can restrict the magician from connecting with the energy of the heaven and the earth, on the other hand, the spells that are based on internal hair are not hindered at all.

If the Buddhist and Daoist enchantment is compared to an orderly and well-organized Miyagi government office, outsiders will either not be able to enter the enchantment, or they will be trapped in the enchantment like a prison, restricted everywhere.That Ankati is spreading out a big net, and people are not restricted from entering, but the changes in Qi mechanism caused by the use of spells will be filtered by the big net.

What Antoni wanted to control was only the density of the "mesh", which could be said to be twice the result with half the effort in the enchantment process. It is no wonder that he was able to deploy the enchantment covering a large area of ​​the Western Region.

Changqing, who realized this point, was shocked by Antty's intelligence and knowledge, and he himself was greatly inspired, broadened his horizons, and began to work on how to reproduce such a "big net".

Just looking at a pile of characters and pictures is not enough, seeing that the sky has completely darkened, the other two also went back to their rooms to rest, Chang Qing took off his clothes a little, sat cross-legged on the couch, took a bath, and then breathed out, adjusted his breath, and concentrated keep thinking.

Taoist practice is based on spirit, and regards the body as the cave house of spirit, as the saying goes - "If you want to save your body, you should first calm down the spirit, the spirit is the mother of the god, and the god is the son of the spirit, if you have the spirit, you will live forever."

Whether you are aspiring to immortality, or pursuing the ability of magic, the use of air cannot be ignored.

Looking at Zhongtu, the art of refining Qi has existed since ancient times, and it is the foundation of Taoist cultivation. Even the breathing kung fu in martial arts is inseparable from its origin.The theory of existence of the spirit appeared later, and after several evolutions and iterations, the Southern Dynasties and Shangqing lineage was the master.

Rather, among the Taoist sects, the Shangqing lineage pays the most attention to "cultivation".Due to the turmoil in the Central Plains and the chaos of the government and the public, many generations of people with hairpin tassels abandoned the world and joined the Shangqing lineage one after another, which greatly improved the study of Taoist cultivation.

In addition, the Shangqing lineage has always focused on self-cultivation and dedication to immortality. It has not been involved in Taoist sects since the end of the Han Dynasty.In the Southern Dynasties, Lu Tianshi summed up the Taoist scriptures, and the Shangqing Dongzhen scriptures ranked first among the three caves, which also officially established the position of the Shangqing lineage in the Taoist school.

At the end of the previous dynasty, the world was in chaos, and the master of the Shangqing Dynasty, Wang Yuanzhi, secretly passed on the fate of the Taizu. Therefore, the Shangqing lineage was regarded as the first sect of Taoism in this dynasty, and the princes and nobles who entered the Taoism were often presided over by the Shangqing Gaodao. revered.

Strictly speaking, however, Changqing's own inheritance of Taoism is not from the lineage of the Shangqing Dynasty, but the "Yin Fu Tianji Lun" left by his predecessors obtained by his master Daguan Zhenren in Songyue, and the military school of Yin and Yang.

Therefore, Changqing's cultivation method is slightly different from that of ordinary Taoists, and it is similar to breathing and breathing. However, on the way of thinking, the key point is not to "preserve my god and think of my body", but to be in the sea of ​​consciousness. In it, there is an idea that the gods will form the heavenly soldiers into an army formation.

So in the battle of Tianchi Shrine, after the barrier was shaken and disintegrated, Changqing was able to form an formation with the soldiers of the Protectorate immediately, summon the generals, and subdue the giant rock statue and skeleton soldiers and horses brought by Antunti in one fell swoop. It allows ordinary soldiers to display far beyond ordinary strength.

Compared with looking inside and reflecting on oneself, Changqing's thinking skills are more inclined to "structuring", especially proficient in deducing spells in the sea of ​​consciousness.This is why Changqing's magic achievement is much higher than that of his peers, and even many Taoist seniors are not as good as him.

In addition to being far superior to ordinary people in terms of talent and aptitude, the "Holding and Playing the Dao Chapter" passed down by Daguan Daoist has also played a great role.

Changqing's mind escaped into the realm of emptiness and tranquility, and many distracting thoughts were no longer visible. Just as he was slowly deducing the formation of the enchantment in the empty sea of ​​consciousness, a burst of calm flute sounded for no reason.

When concentrating on tranquility, external evils are the most taboo. If you are careless, you will be insane, and it will cause disordered energy channels.However, Changqing had been prepared for a long time. A golden armored general appeared in the sea of ​​consciousness, holding a long knife, standing up to the sky, resplendent and powerful, and the power of destroying evil and eliminating demons was magnificent.

However, there was such a vibration in the sea of ​​consciousness, but it still couldn't suppress the sound of Ling Ran's flute. A rainbow piercing through the moon pierced the void, and formed a jade girl in the sea of ​​consciousness. , the sword in his hand is shining brightly.

Seeing this jade girl holding a sword striding towards Ling Xu, the calm flute sound turned into reality, and turned into a long rainbow bridge, spreading and winding in the sea of ​​consciousness.

Chang Qing was in doubt, and when he had a thought, the Golden Armored God General swung his long saber, thundering and lightning flashed in the sea of ​​consciousness, vowing to destroy the outsiders.

I saw the green hair of the jade girl holding a sword flying, and with a light sweep of the sword in her hand, thousands of sword lights shot out, just like the sky in the night sky suddenly collapsed, and the stars in the universe fell all at once, which made people feel the shock of heaven and earth. .

The Golden Armored God will be completely submerged by the sword light, the thunder and fire are useless, and the front of the soldiers is exhausted. Changqing only feels that the countless sword moves are overwhelming, filling the sea of ​​consciousness in a blink of an eye, unavoidable, unstoppable. Can take it all.

……

Just when Changqing heard the sound of the flute in the sea of ​​consciousness, Cheng Sanwu, who was sleeping on the couch with his upper body naked, suddenly opened his eyes, and without thinking about getting dressed, he grabbed the Hundred Refining Sword in his hand, opened the door and jumped out.

At this time, the Kungang courtyard was peaceful and peaceful, without any strange sound, and there was no sound of silk and bamboo music, only a silver plate in the sky, sprinkled like water and moonlight.

And Cheng Sanwu frowned, pressed the handle of the knife with his hand, as if ready to go, looked around the courtyard, occasionally raised his eyes to look at the moonlight in the night sky, as if he was looking for something, but he couldn't figure it out.

With questioning eyes, Cheng Sanwu came outside the Changqing House, but did not knock on the door to disturb him, but walked back and forth lightly, like a guard on duty outside the tent of the Chinese army commander.

Time passed, and the moon was shining through the sky. When the sound of clappers came from the fourth watch, Changqing finally broke out of the emptiness.

When Changqing let out a foul breath, Cheng Sanwu seemed to notice it, and returned to the house like lightning, with the doors and windows closed as usual.

Seeing that Chang Qing was covered in thin sweat, he hurried out to the courtyard, looking up at the sky with a shocked expression on his face, looking around, as if looking for someone.

However, there is no difference in the quiet and late night. Changqing looked suspicious, lowered his head and raised his hand, instinctively forming a sword finger, following the sword technique he had just acquired, his body moved involuntarily, his clothes fluttered, and he performed an exquisite set. fencing.

When Changqing stood still, he silently felt the strength of the breath circulating in his muscles and bones, and his heart was full of inconceivable.When he wanted to ask others if he had noticed anything unusual just now, he heard a burst of snoring coming from Cheng Sanwu's room.After thinking about it, Changqing stopped knocking on the door and returned to his room with confusion and shock.
