Shenyin Shanhaijing

Chapter 1127 Murderous Maniac

They continued to walk forward. The plants in front of them were so dense that they could hardly find a place to stay.

Li Chenjun took out his dragon-slaying knife, cut a path, and walked into the valley little by little.

In the valley, there are three dilapidated thatched houses, surrounded by five or six acres of wasteland, covered with weeds. Among the weeds, there are also some polygonatum, fritillary, Codonopsis pilosula, and Ganoderma lucidum that have been growing for many years.

Cui Ying said: "People lived here a long time ago."

Li Chenjun nodded: "Perhaps it is the relic left by Lao Jun. The spiritual energy here is relatively rich. There should be a barrier before. Because over time, wind and rain, the sealing circle was destroyed, so it grew so long. There are many weeds and the house has become a dilapidated building. This place needs to be tidied up."

He took matters into his own hands, repairing houses, cultivating spiritual fields, and removing weeds.

A month later, the valley had a completely new look.

Cui Ying liked this place very much and said, "Mr. Lang, from now on, this will be our home."

Li Chenjun said: "This is a home suitable for seclusion. We are still young and cannot live in seclusion for many years. We will live outside half of the time."

"When you say outside, do you mean the wooden houses at the foot of Laojun Mountain?"

"No, I want to buy a house in Luoyang in a few days. During the holidays, I will take you to the city to watch the fireworks."

Not long after, Cui Ying found a blue-purple stone at the bottom of Sheshen Cliff, as big as a fist, and brought it back to show Li Chenjun.

"Mr. Lang, what do you think this is? The color is very beautiful."

Li Chenjun carefully identified it and said: "This is not jade or blue field jade, it seems to be fluorite. If it is polished out, it will be a luminous pearl."

Because there is spiritual energy in Laojun Mountain, and where there is spiritual energy, strange rocks can easily emerge.

Strange stones come in many forms, including nephrite, jadeite, agate, jadeite, fluorite, luminous stone, Lingbi stone, Xuanyuan stone, Fengling stone...

These strange stones often contain a faint aura.

If the spiritual energy is richer, it will become a spiritual stone; if the spiritual energy is stored, it will become an immortal stone.

Cui Ying smiled and said: "Pearl at night? I have one at home. The color is different. It is as big as a pigeon egg. It has been passed down from ancestors and is a priceless treasure."

Li Chenjun said: "Fluorite comes in many colors, commonly purple, blue, green, yellow, and colorless. Less common ones include pink, red, white, brown, and black."

"There are many such stones under the cliff over there. Mr. Lang, would you like to come with me to have a look?"

"Okay, let's go over and have a look."

After walking for a quarter of an hour, when they arrived at the foot of Sheshen Cliff, Li Chenjun saw large and small stones rolling down on the ground, some of which were fluorite, mainly blue, purple and yellow, and a small amount of green and white fluorite. Looking up, there are more fluorite on the cliff, emitting colorful light under the sunlight.

He picked up some fluorite and brought it back to the valley, cutting it into a ball shape with a dragon-slaying knife.

Because it is cut by hand, it is not as round as machine-polished, but as a gemstone, it does not have to be smooth, just like a diamond cut into multiple faces, which makes it easier to reflect the brilliance.

"We have been in the Funiu Mountains for half a year, and it's time to go out for a walk."

They came out of the valley, climbed over several mountains, and came to the foot of Laojun Mountain.

Five or six miles away from "Youxin Pavilion", there are some newly built wooden houses in which twenty people live.

Li Chenjun called his subordinates together and had a meal.

Drink from big bowls and eat meat with big mouthfuls.

Li Chenjun raised his glass and said, "Come on, let's have another drink!"

"Dry!"

"Let me tell you, I plan to set up camp in Funiu Mountain for a long time. You don't have to suffer yourself, I will give each of you ten taels of silver and go to the bottom of the mountain to find a wife to bring back."

"Wow...thank you, Lord!"

Ten taels of silver cannot marry a lady from all over the world, not even Xiaojia Biyu, but these days there are many people who are begging for food. There are many young widows and girls, and they will follow if they are given a big pie. If the requirements are not so high, it is easy to find a wife to live with.

After spending the night in the wooden house, the next morning, Li Chenjun and Cui Ying led their horses out of the "Youxin Pavilion" and walked out of the mountain along the narrow mountain road.

Soon after, they appeared in Luoyang.

Although Luoyang City has been plundered many times, it is still a big city. Some nobles dug cellars in their homes to hide their property. After the soldiers and bandits retreated, they came out of the cellars and they were still rich men above others.

Li Chenjun looked for a noble house, went to the house in person to offer the treasure, and tried his best to sell a luminous pearl. The luminous pearl as big as an egg only sells for three thousand taels of silver, which is far from being priceless.

There were no auction houses in ancient times. As a small person, it was difficult to sell treasures at high prices, and it might even get you into trouble.

Li Chenjun is a monk. He has been practicing in the mountains for the past six months. His skills and confidence are getting stronger and stronger, so he dares to go to other people's homes with treasures.

Cui Ying sighed: "It's a pity that my father went to Chang'an, a place in Guanzhong, which is heavily guarded. I disobeyed my parents and dared not go back and be punished. Otherwise, if I gave the Night Pearl to the Cui family and they sold it to the princes and nobles, I would definitely get a high price." If it is dedicated to the royal family, even greater benefits can be obtained."

Li Chenjun said: "There's no rush. In two or three years, when your parents have calmed down, it won't be too late to go back and visit them."

"Lang Jun, do you think I can still go back to see my parents?"

"That's natural."

Later, Li Chenjun spent a hundred taels of silver to buy a secluded courtyard and hired an old servant with gray hair.

He stayed here for a month and purchased a batch of grain, salt, cloth and common items.

Cui Ying asked a tailor to make some clothes for herself and her husband, and bought comfortable bedding and blankets.

At noon that day, Li Chenjun was standing in the yard, absorbing the purple energy in the sunlight. Suddenly he heard an eagle cry from high in the sky. He looked up and found that the goshawk he had trained fell from the sky and landed in front of him. In the distant clearing, chirps kept chirping.

Li Chenjun quickly understood what Goshawk wanted to express. The dust was flying in the west, and a large group of people was coming!

So, he returned to the house, woke up Cui Ying who was taking a nap, and left Luoyang through the east gate.

Cui Ying rode on the horse and asked, "Mr. Lang, what happened?"

Li Chenjun said: "Luoyang City will face another looting."

"Who is coming?"

"There is a word 'stone' on the big flag, so it should be Shi Le."

This year, Liu Cong appointed Shi Le as the general of the Eastern Conquest. Shi Le resigned as General Zhengdong and joined forces with Liu Can, Liu Yao and Wang Mi to attack Luoyang and march straight into Luochuan.

After that, Shi Le began to rise step by step, and a few years later he established the "Later Zhao".

Shi Le was born in Jiehu and was a Qiangqu native of the Southern Xiongnu. His ancestors were nobles from the Xiongnu branch tribe.

Shi Le was originally a slave. He suffered various humiliations during his youth, which left a shadow in his heart. When he became an adult, he rebelled against the Jin Dynasty, and his cruel and murderous nature was fully exposed. In the "Book of Jin", there are many records of Shi Le's indiscriminate killings, trap killings, and massacres: "Jisang marched to attack Ye, with Shi Le as the forward commander, and killed more than ten thousand people. , and plundered the women's treasures." When fighting Wang Jun, the governor of Youzhou, "Shi Le combined all of them and... trapped more than 3,000 men and women." , He was killed because of several Liang crimes." "Shi Le fell into Changle, and General Wang Bin of Anbei was killed. Because of the massacre of Li Yang."

Li Chenjun had read this history and knew that Shi Le was called a "murderer". Logically speaking, if he wanted to be a knight who saved the people, he could find an opportunity to assassinate Shi Le. However, before he came to this time and space, he was told by Patriarch Yideng not to change history as much as possible. So he could only avoid the horrific atrocities.

After walking far away, he reined in his horse, sighed and sang: "The peaks and mountains are like gathering, and the waves are like anger. Looking at the Western Capital, I hesitate. I am sad. Wherever the Qin and Han Dynasties traveled, thousands of palaces and palaces were turned into dirt. When they prospered, the people suffered; when they perished, , the people suffer.”

Cui Ying asked: "Lang Jun, is this a poem you wrote?"

"I didn't do it. It was an ancient song I heard."

Cui Ying has studied with Zheng Yin for many years. Zheng Yin was a great Confucian in his early years. Even though he lived in seclusion in the mountains, he still collected thousands of books. So Cui Ying also read a lot of books besides practicing Taoism, but she is not Cai Wenji. I am not very interested in poetry and my understanding is not that high.

Over the years, she has become accustomed to fighting. Sometimes she feels confused and asks, "Mr. Lang, what do you think people live for?"

“To break free from the constraints of this world and fly freely like a bird.”

"How can I break free?"

"Fifty Dayan, escape one of them. Through cultivating immortality, you will live forever and be able to come and go freely."

Li Chenjun adheres to this statement and received education at Langya City Cultivation Academy.

Cui Ying sighed and said: "To be honest with you, although I have been studying Taoism for nearly ten years, I always feel that cultivating immortality is a luxury. My master is very knowledgeable and has been practicing for decades, but he has not yet reached the threshold of immortality. This year I 17 years old, ignorant and completely ignorant, how can I have the confidence to cultivate immortality!"

At this time, Cui Ying was still a young girl, full of youthful vitality, and it was normal for her to be lacking in knowledge. In her opinion, practicing can make her body lighter, increase her strength, and have qi machines running around her body, which feels very comfortable. But how is it possible to become an immortal?

Li Chenjun said: "You have the qualifications to cultivate immortality and have a good foundation. You have great hope of embarking on the path of immortality."

He dare not say that he can lead Cui Ying to cultivate into an immortal, because he can only stay for a period of time in the human world. Seven years have passed so far, and there are still 7 years left. If Cui Ying cannot cultivate the golden elixir during this period, she will not be able to follow him. he is gone.

If Cui Ying stays in this era of lack of spiritual energy, it will be difficult to cultivate into Nascent Soul and Buxu in the future, and she will turn into withered bones in a few hundred years.

After a while, Cui Ying said again: "Master said that the universe is divided into three realms: heaven, earth, and human beings. In addition to the human realm, there is the fairy world in the sky and the underworld below. I don't know if it is true."

Li Chenjun said: "Maybe so."

Ancestor Yideng requested that his origins not be revealed, so he could not describe the situation in the fairy world. Since he couldn't speak, he could only speak vaguely to prevent Cui Ying from asking endless questions.
