Journey to the West: All Heavens and Ten Thousand Realms

Chapter 53 Bird Clothes Lane
"Cough...cough..."

Coughing came from the dilapidated hut, Jiang Liu moved his nose, and there was a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine.

"Bang bang bang..."

There were three knocks on the door, and Xie Hong in the room turned his head to look at the door, and asked in a deep voice, "Who is outside?"

"Ah Hong, it's me!" The big buffalo changed into a human form, standing outside the door like a black tower, even the horns on its head were gone, only the bull's eyes, broad nose, somewhat cow-like, roughly human form.

This is the technique of illusion, it can only deceive mortals, and it can be seen through at a glance when encountering a qi refiner.If it is a transformed body, it would be difficult to see through it without the supernatural power of "Fire Eyes".

But Jiang Liu looked up at the sky, and at the moment Xie Chou changed his human form, he felt a strange energy appear above his head.The seven constellations of the oriental blue dragon flash, Jiao, Kang, Di, Fang, Xin, Wei, Ji, the seven constellations are constantly changing, corresponding to Jinling City.

"Dongfang Qinglong, the five elements belong to wood. The captain said that Jinling City's great formation was opened, so it must be the Dongfang Qinglong formation! Yimu Qinglei, this is a thunder formation! If I hadn't already succeeded in thunder, I would have discovered it. No. The wood attribute thunder, compared with my Nine Heavens Thunder, has more attribute changes and is even more powerful. I don’t know which great power built this terrestrial formation. Even if it has achieved the position of Earth Immortal, it dare not face it Let's face the big green dragon formation in Jinling City!"

Just as Jiang Liu was thinking, the wooden door opened with a "creak", revealing a haggard, pale and sickly young man.

"Uncle Ugly, Aunt Lu! How did you enter the city? Come in quickly, no one will find you, right? I heard that the island country in the east has recently invaded, and the army has assembled. You must be careful..."

Xie Chou smiled "haha" and said, "It's not in the way, it's not in the way! This is Daoist Jiang Liu, the master of Qianlong Temple, he can protect us from the attacks of human soldiers, and the practitioners of Nayaosi will not look for us." Trouble!"

Nayaosi, the department of subjugating demons and eliminating demons established by Datang, is mostly composed of practitioners from various sects. The main job is to subdue and eliminate demons, and by the way, provide monster mounts for the army.

Killing a demon is easy, but subduing it is as difficult as ascending to the sky.

Coming all the way from Qianlong Mountain, among the three armies I saw, one of the captain's mounts was a rhinoceros demon who had attained the Tao.Humans and monsters are not compatible, let alone being reduced to a mount. The captain's innate realm has a mount that refines and transforms Qi. The two cooperate, and then lead the battle, and the combat power is multiplied.

And those generals in the army who own the monster riders all worship the monster riders as their ancestors.

Jiang Liu looked at Xie Hong, and Xie Hong was also looking at Jiang Liu.

In Jiang Liu's eyes, this Xie Hong was just an ordinary mortal who hadn't cultivated, his blood was thin, and he hadn't practiced martial arts.But there is a strange energy in the body. This energy is majestic and upright, which is exactly the awe-inspiring righteousness of Confucianism.With this righteousness added to the body, ghosts and ghosts will be warded off, and all evil will not invade.

It's a pity that there is nothing we can do about physical diseases!

There are six arts in Confucianism, and it is fundamental to nourish one's energy by reading books, but even if one is fully formed, one's body is still weak.

Compared with the way of longevity of Qi refiners, Confucianism pursues "self-cultivation, family harmony, state governance, and world peace".

Studying for the great prosperity of the human race, and striving for the rise of the human race, there is nothing better than a hundred schools of thought.It was because hundreds of families fought against the invasion of monsters in the chaotic pre-Qin era that the human race was able to stand on this land and become the real master of this land.

The cultivation of Confucianism in the pre-Qin period was closer to that of a person who cultivated Qi, supplemented by reading and nourishing Qi. It was only later that Dong Zhongshu dismissed all schools of thought and only respected Confucianism. , governing the country, and pacifying the world".Of course, Confucianism is not afraid of death, and they take the three immortals of "establishing virtue, making meritorious service, and establishing words" as their ultimate goal.

As long as one of them is completed and the royal imperial seal is granted, one can be enshrined as a god after death and enjoy thousands of years of incense and sacrifices.

This is the origin of ghosts and gods. Many city gods were ordinary people in the world during their lifetime.

This is why many ghosts and gods are not worthy of being worshiped by great Confucians.What they don't know is that after the death of the great Confucianism, they will be granted imperial titles, and they will be enshrined as gods immediately, and the rank of the gods is far higher than that of ordinary ghosts and gods.

"Boy Xie Hong, courtesy name Zhiyuan, pay homage to the Taoist priest!" Xie Hong bowed to Jiang Liu, then turned sideways and invited the two of them into the house.

The room is simple, but very clean and tidy. Most of them are books, almost occupying half of the room.

Jiang Liu casually took out a copy of "Spring and Autumn", the paper was a bit old, and he obviously read it often, the annotations in it were densely packed, small characters, but euphemistic and subtle, elegant and handsome, in the style of Wang Xizhi.People in the world often use Cao Zhi's "Ode to the God of Luo": "Light as a frightened bird, graceful as a dragon, glorious as an autumn chrysanthemum, and a lush spring pine. It seems as if the moon is covered by light clouds, and the snow flutters like the flowing wind." Praising the beauty of Wang Xizhi's calligraphy, this typeface has the charm of "surprised by the dragon and roaming the dragon".

From Jiang Liu's point of view, the annotated notes on this "Spring and Autumn" already have five points of Wang Xizhi's skill.

"Good writing, with the style of Wang Youjun! I heard from Xie Chou that you are still a student, so you have the ability to annotate "Spring and Autumn"?"

Xie Hong smiled shyly, and said: "When I was studying, I wrote down some insights, but I dare not call it annotations, and I dare not explain the words of the sages unless I am a great Confucian."

Jiang Liu nodded, holding "Spring and Autumn" and watched it carefully.Xie Hong didn't dare to make mistakes. Although he is a scholar and doesn't say "strange power and chaos", he still has to give enough respect to Qi refiners.

It is impossible to tell a person's age from his appearance. This is a world with immortals and gods. Many people who have achieved success in cultivation, although they have lived for hundreds of years, look only in their twenties.In Xie Hong's eyes, Jiang Liu is a cultivator who has lived for a hundred years. You must know that Xie Chou, a monster made from a big buffalo, is also over 200 years old.

"Uncle Ugly, I know my body. It's a congenital injury. It can't be cured."

Xie Hong's expression darkened, he took down the boiled Chinese medicine, and put a copper pot on the fire.

Bai Lu stopped on Xie Hong's shoulder and said, "There will always be a way. A disease that cannot be cured by ordinary people cannot be cured by immortals!"

Xie Hong shook his head: "Immortals don't touch the world of mortals, and they can heal diseases like me. Birth, old age, sickness and death, reincarnation, I have lived for 20 years. If Uncle Ugly and Aunt Lu were not running around for me, I would have died... Cough cough!"

Xie Chou glanced at Jiang Liu, saw that he was still looking at the "Spring and Autumn" in his hand, and said to Xie Hong: "I will do my best, the Xie family is very kind to me, and I will not let the Xie family die. No, I will also keep your descendants safe."

The water in the big copper pot began to boil, Xie Hong took out a tea brick, and some ginger and other things, put them into the copper pot, and after a while, there was a scent of tea.

Xie Hong took out several large porcelain bowls and said solemnly: "Uncle Ugly, Aunt Lu, now that there is an accident in the East China Sea, the imperial court will inevitably destroy it with a large army, but after the destruction, there will be great changes in the south of the Yangtze River... Datang will not let itself fall into the Fourth World War Those who live in the land will definitely take advantage of the front of the army...cough cough...to wipe out the monsters and evil spirits in the south of the Yangtze River in one go. This is a once-and-for-all approach, and there will be no mercy. Maybe they will not be able to distinguish between good and evil, because there is no such thing Time. Datang's center of gravity is in the north, and will not allow another accident to happen in the south... Uncle Ugly, don't come here from now on, just leave this place! For us human race, this is a great happy event, but for us As far as you monster clan is concerned, it is a disaster, a big disaster."

Jiang Liu put down "Spring and Autumn", this young man is very knowledgeable, and has a lot of knowledge about current affairs, and his inference is also reasonable.Datang is now the target of public criticism. The alien races in the north are staring at each other and are the biggest threat. The Tubo in the west is also a big problem, and the south is corrupt. The Liao people have been rebelling since the founding of the country.Only the invasion of the island country in the east can be wiped out with a thunderbolt, and the army has been assembled. With this campaign, Jiangnan will be wiped out in one fell swoop, killing two birds with one stone.

"I don't know how many monks will die in this confrontation!" Jiang Liu said secretly.

It seems that it is not easy for the Bone Cave corpse demon to attack the master. A monk who was at the peak of refinement and transformation died, and he was also a monk who was proficient in thunder, which is a loss of a general for the human race!
Jiang Liu pondered secretly, and found that he was about to fall into a bigger crisis, which would be a war between the human race and the monster race.

A battle between humans, demons, and demons spread across the entire south of the Yangtze River!

With a long sigh, Jiang Liu said, "The Tang Dynasty will not be relentless. This time, the south will surely flow into rivers of blood. Even I, Qianlongguan, dare not say that I can survive this catastrophe!"

Xie Chou's brows were also tightly frowned. He originally thought that after the army wiped out the invasion of the East China Sea, killed the ghost king, and then returned to the original calm state, but now it seems that his thinking is too simple.

"Daoist, please drink tea!" Xie Hong put the large coarse porcelain bowl beside Jiang Liu.

Jiang Liu looked at the strange tea, tasted it slightly, and found that it tasted like tea, ginger, and salt.

A little salty.

"Is this the tea of ​​the Tang Dynasty? It seems to be the tea of ​​the Tang Dynasty!"

Jiang Liu was not used to it, so he put down the large thick porcelain bowl after a little taste.

Wealth is in danger!
These five words suddenly appeared in my mind, but were overturned immediately.

"That's all! Soldiers come to cover up the water and the earth. This battle is not something we can participate in. Xie Chou, since you have entered my Qianlong Temple, I will try my best to protect you two, but you must also be mentally prepared... The catastrophe is not limited to the invasion of the East China Sea and the ghost king! According to the information I have obtained, there must be earth immortals involved. This is a competition between humans, demons, demons, and so on. Crushed to death!"

Xie Chou's complexion sank, he frowned, and sighed, "The catastrophe has started again, and it's time for blood to flow into rivers again. Hundreds of years of wars, this is a catastrophe for the human race. Now that the Tang Dynasty is unified, it should be a catastrophe for demons." .Feng Shui turns, 30 years in the East, 30 years in the West, the heavens will turn!"
