"No, that's not the case. It's just that their country advocates hard work, and the ruling monk class claims to be the educator of mortals. They pass laws and regulations so that the most diligent people will be commended, and the lazy will be whipped." Lian Jinfeng replied.

"What's the problem?" Jiang Xianchen asked.

"The problem lies in the flogging of the lazy, I think. The monks must not look at the average labor intensity when judging laziness, but find the one with the least working hours." Gui Tangdong said.

Lian Jinfeng nodded: "Your fellow Daoist Gui is right, such a rough enforcement standard puts everyone in the country at risk, and people scramble to work hard so that they don't let themselves be the ones left behind and punished.

Among all the jobs, fishing is one of the jobs that can be lazy. In order to delay the time, some people who do not make a living from fishing also disguise themselves as fishermen to pass the day. "

"So, the people of the Yuangu Kingdom can't take care of themselves, and the people of the Junzi Kingdom can fish at will in the waters shared by the two countries."

Lian Jinfeng smiled wryly: "Yes, even so, fishing is still barely enough to make ends meet. Once someone in the family falls ill, life will be tight."

"You have such strong diving skills, and you have gained a lot. According to my incomplete research on the aquatic product market in southern Xinjiang, the price of aquatic products in southern Xinjiang is not low... It turns out that you have no means of transportation and storage, so you are sold by middlemen. lowered the price?"

Lian Jinfeng said angrily: "Well, the buyer offered us a very low price, and then sold it at a high price in the market. We tried to join forces to raise the price, but there were always thieves who were bought by the buyer. It undermined unity, Don't let it happen."

"So, have you ever considered doing business with Yangyan Mansion? I can help you connect and negotiate this business with merchants in Jade Leather City."

Lian Jinfeng was overjoyed, and she also promised to unite everyone after returning home, so that there would be no more incidents of being lured by buyers with small profits.Gui Tangdong pushed Jiang Xianchen out in a timely manner: "Let her follow you, and your force will be guaranteed."

Thinking of the previous quarrel, Gui Tangdong asked Jiang Xianchen for his opinion. Jiang Xianchen took a deep look at Gui Tangdong and responded softly.

Using a similar method, Gui Tangdong sent the others away, and Nan Qingxu offered to be with Jiang Xianchen.Half an hour later, he and Yin Qiaowen were left on the boat.

Both of them looked like they were facing a big enemy, because the pattern on Yin Qiaowen's arm was already full, and the female ghost in "Soul of Rites" might come out to kill Yin Qiaowen at any time.

Yin Qiaowen sacrificed all his subordinates in order to fulfill the covenant, and was seriously injured himself. Although her sacrifice seemed very suspicious, Gui Tangdong had to respond to the ally who suffered heavy losses, so he stood here and kept it secret. In his covenant with Yin Qiaowen, so he drove away the other people in the boat.

At noon, when the sun is strongest and ghosts don’t often appear, a large amount of black mist seeps out from "Soul of Ritual". Before the female ghost appears, it transforms the scenery inside the ship into a different world, and the forest is like a black statue. , winding trails exuding lavender starlight.

Gui Tangdong's eyes were lit by the fire, and he saw the complex array structure in the forest. At the end of the path, there was a dome villa full of magic repair style located in the center of the forest. Its top floor was a huge The observatory, and the one connected to the observatory is an equal-scale miniature version of the planet wrapped in the sea of ​​spiritual energy.

"This is the cave I use most often. Here, I can observe the most stars in the sky, but please forgive me for keeping the location secret." Yin Qiaowen touched the golden mask, "No matter who the female ghost is, I thank you She transformed my battlefield into such a look, I hate strange places."

"But you are studying the starry sky." Gui Tangdong said.

"People always have double standards. Studying strange stars makes me happy, but staying in strange places makes me uncomfortable... um."

Yin Qiaowen coughed up a mouthful of blood, Gui Tangdong turned his head and saw the female ghost's pale hand withdraw from Yin Qiaowen's chest, leaving a blood hole.

"Not only spiritual power, but also exercises?!"

Yin Qiaowen's cursed face became more abstract because of pain and shock, Gui Tangdong patted her wound with a palm, used flames to stop her bleeding urgently, then picked her up and left the place.

"Go to my cave, if she projects everything... There, heal."

Yin Qiaowen's words became ambiguous due to the blood stuck in her throat, and she used the talisman in the storage ring to continue her life.Gui Tangdong held her in his arms and activated the rapid blue light, but the forest in front of him began to change.

"She even used the formation in my cave..."

"Rather than being shocked, I want you to give me some effective advice: For example, if you use exercises here, will it destroy the hull in reality?"

"No, if I'm not wrong, we should stand still in reality. This is the world of dreams, and the battles here all come from our own perception of ourselves."

"If I imagine myself to be invincible, then I am really invincible in my dream?" Gui Tangdong asked.

"No, the cognition here is more of an unconscious and instinctive cognition of oneself. For example, a virgin man can lust all over the world's women when he is awake, but in his dream, he and a woman When something is about to happen, he often wakes up suddenly-because he has never experienced such a thing, his head has no relevant material, so he cannot create the corresponding dream.

Therefore, the combat power in the dream is roughly equivalent to the feedback of real memory and the processing in the dream. People who are proud, conceited, and aggressive will become stronger in their dreams than they are in reality, while those who are humble and kind will be weaker... ..."

Gui Tangdong's personality determines that he is weaker in his dream than in reality, but Yin Qiaowen's past life elements, which Yin Qiaowen can't count at all, give him another kind of strength.

Chapter 46 The Friar's House II

Gui Tangdong held his cards for the time being, but fought the female ghost with conventional means, and found that she was stronger in the dream than in reality. From the first wave of confrontation between the two sides, Gui Tangdong was at a disadvantage.

Gui Tangdong has fought against the wind, but he started against the wind from the first second of the battle, which is a new experience in his life.After a few rounds, he had to admit that the female ghost was stronger now, so he turned and fled into the woods, embarking on a road full of stars.

The path was safe, but the darkness beyond the path was full of dangers, forcing Gui Tangdong to blast all the traps along the way, leaving a messy trail behind him.

"How many traps have you set up near your cave?" He couldn't help complaining.

Yin Qiaowen argued: "I don't want to, but I'm not good at fighting with others. In order to protect myself, I can only..."

However, after absorbing Yin Qiaowen's knowledge and spiritual power, the female ghost behaved very mightily. This may mean that it is not the Xingjudian's skills that are weak, but Yin Qiaowen himself.

Gui Tangdong blasted open the gate of the cave all the way, and the moment he entered, he heard the sound of the mechanism, he jumped forward, the guillotine fell behind him, and smashed deeply into the floor.In the air, he kicked and melted the incoming crossbow bolts and hidden weapons. When he landed, his palms were down, and he used violent red light to destroy the sharp piles that popped up under the floor.

"To prevent thieves." Yin Qiaowen explained awkwardly.

Gui Tangdong put on a protective green light on himself, and rushed to the second floor with two layers of shields. The female ghost behind him also rushed into the cave. All the traps had been triggered by Gui Tangdong, so the female ghost avoided those traps , the distance is getting closer and closer.

However, Gui Tangdong also sensed that the female ghost's aura was fading... Even though he was still weak against Bo, time was in his favour. As long as he survived until the opponent was no longer able, he would have a chance to eliminate the opponent once and for all.

"Let's go to the top floor..." Yin Qiaowen said weakly, "Maybe there, the power of the observatory can still be used by me."

When Gui Tangdong left the second floor, the two layers of shields on his body had been exhausted by the mechanism. On the third floor, he used an offensive to offset the damage of the mechanism, but a scar was scratched by the female ghost on his back. The curse of that scar Purified by the flame technique and polluted by the spirit in the scars, Gui Tangdong only heard the first three words before being swallowed by the protection left in his body by Yun Xiaojing.

Yin Qiaowen breathed a sigh of relief, and whispered: "If that female ghost wants to say something, don't listen, it's just...ahem, she used it to kill us."

"However, I'm already entangled with her."

Guitangdong put down Yin Qiaowen, he held Biying, the weapon manifested in the dream was different from reality, it was very dry to hold, and in reality the Biying sword was on the hilt.There will often be some sticky liquid. He consulted Hu Xuandong about this matter, and Hu Xuandong said that it was a matter of material selection during casting.

He was a little skeptical, because he always felt that he had seen that thing from his senior sister, Nan Qingxu or Yuan Jingyi, and he also tried to extract the liquid for analysis, but it disappeared without a trace as soon as it was separated from Biying, and Gui Tangdong was in trouble One after another, there is no time to deal with this trivial matter.

The observatory is just above. Its floor and the ceiling above Guitang East are cut and polished from a single piece of jade. People's conjectures about the universe are drawn on it: because the sea of ​​spiritual energy hinders the observation of the universe, the monks It is taken for granted that the entire universe is an egg shell, the aura is the egg white, and their world is the egg yolk, which is located in the center of the egg, and there are many stars orbiting them on the egg shell.

According to this theory, the stars in the sky should move in the same direction in an elliptical orbit around this world. Although the observation is difficult, the monks have successfully observed the phenomenon of planetary retrograde, which challenges the original universe model. In order to explain it , The monks referred to the Tessian theory and introduced the concepts of epicycle and deferent, but different from the Tessian astronomers, the monks believed that what filled the universe was not solid, but aura.

This is not the correct answer, but it is the most correct answer that people have come up with at present. Gui Tangdong once wrote a theory denying that this world is located in the center of the universe and other planets revolve around the world, but no one paid attention to it because he couldn't come up with enough Much observational evidence.

Therefore, the plane projection of the observatory is elliptical, and around the stars, densely packed deferents overlap each other, Yin Qiaowen moved into the observatory with difficulty, the observatory was activated, and the stars lit up the floor. The wheel rotates on the upper side, but it becomes ambiguous due to the cover of jade, and only the trajectories of a few stars are clearly visible... This is the difficulty of observing the stars through the sea of ​​spiritual energy.

However, neither Gui Tangdong nor his opponents had the intention to praise the contributions made by the astronomers. Coldness meets fieryness, and irritability meets calmness. Weaker than last time, Gui Tangdong remained the same, and she set off more and more courageously.

The female ghost roared, her urgency was beyond words, but Gui Tangdong would not let her go any further.After a few more minutes, her strength weakened to the point where Gui Tangdong was completely equal to it. At this moment, she suddenly stopped and tried to write on the wall instead.

At this moment, the gathered light from the observatory bombarded the female ghost into pieces, and that shrill sound became the last remnant of the female ghost in the world.A petite shadow broke into the area in front of Guitang East, reached out and pinched a piece of fragment that the female ghost flew towards Guitang East at high speed, and consumed it with starlight.

"It's over." Yin Qiaowen said.

The black mist collapsed, and Gui Tangdong returned to reality. Consuming spiritual power in the dream does not really consume spiritual power, but the fatigue of reality is accumulating.

He looked at Yin Qiaowen, there was no blood on Yin Qiaowen's shirt but he was clutching his chest, which meant that the injury in the dream would not become a real injury, but the pain was the same.

The black lines on Yin Qiaowen's arms have disappeared without a trace, and her abstract face has also turned into a normal human outline, small and cute, innocent and immature.She took out the mirror and rubbed her face for the first time, and it took only a second from calm to joy.

"Great, Fellow Daoist Gui! The female ghost is gone, and the curse of "Soul of Ritual" has been lifted. I finally regained my true colors!"

Yin Qiaowen stood on tiptoe happily, wanting to give Gui Tangdong a high-five to celebrate. Gui Tangdong stretched out his hand but did not clap, but grabbed her wrist and pulled her hard, lifting her in front of her. Holding her chest, Yin Qiaowen let out a scream, and the hot feeling spread from her touched part.

Gui Tangdong let go, watching the freshly baked Charm of Suoqing appear on Yin Qiaowen.He immediately activated the Charm for Love, and after seeing the patterns on Yin Qiaowen's body lit up, he asked, "Who are you, and who is that female ghost?"

"Friend Gui..."

"I asked the people in Qingfengyanyulou, when Shi Youtan opened "Xuanjitu", he played against you on September [-]st, and she led a lot of people, but in the end it was you who won miserably."

"Is it reasonable for me to die?"

"However, Yin Qiaowen is looked down upon by others because she has a vase of beauty but no strength. The Star Torch Palace belongs to the Demon Sect. Hiding strength in the Demon Sect where supremacy is paramount is undoubtedly seeking death. Your performance is beyond your capabilities." combat power.

Then, from the moment the female ghost came out, you have been cleverly interrupting my non-combat contact with her. Finally, the most suspicious point is that in the dream, your cave is attacking you, and the female ghost I am more familiar with Dongfu than you.

None of this can be used as evidence, but it is enough to trigger suspicion, suspecting that Yin Qiaowen has been replaced by someone, suspecting that the female ghost is Yin Qiaowen, and you use my power to destroy her, thus occupying the magpie's nest. "

"You Daoist Gui has a rich imagination."

"Different experiences have endowed me with a rich imagination." Gui Tangdong said, "You must continue to change the subject, the damage of the Love Curse will deepen with time."

Yin Qiaowen let out a sigh, rubbed her face, and said in Gui Tangdong's familiar voice: "Long time no see, Fellow Daoist Gui."

"You Daoist Le, you should say this to your mother. She was very sad after you left."

"And then quickly fell in love with you, wanting to give birth to a new baby?"

"How can you say that about her!"

Le Huatian asked: "Because the fact is that she is a monster. Although the child is very precious when it is alive, if it dies, she will get out of the sad mood faster than humans and want to add new children. Her body will also be destroyed. will produce such a change.

People often say that the glue of a gentleman is as light as water. It seems that my mother who is not worthy of the name has worked hard to turn you into a gentleman... Do you only have sex with her? "

"Compared to my privacy and hers, you first have to explain what happened after you left us."

"It's only been five months since then, how much can I say?" Le Huatian pointed at his cheek, "Kiss me once, and I'll tell you."

Gui Tangdong bent down, and Le Huatian raised his head, but what Gui Tangdong sent was not a kiss, but a blow to his head. She covered her forehead and took a step back and asked, "You're doing this to me? You're angry that I hurt someone, but The crimes of those devil cultivators are too numerous to record, and according to Gui Tangdong's moral values, you would kill them too."

"Every monk who came out of the Demon Sect has committed a lot of crimes. You killed him. At most, I question whether there is any behavior beyond the bottom line, such as abuse. I agree with the result. The death of the son of the Star Torch Hall , will not cause major turmoil... The premise is that she is dead."

Gui Tangdong replied: "This brain crash is because you broke your mother's heart, she doesn't mind if you are her biological daughter, because she loves you and doesn't forget you as quickly as you think.

As for you, you are playing tricks. If I hadn't used extreme measures against you, you would have continued to hide it by pretending to be stupid.

I should have hit you harder, but your mother would be upset, so I'm merciful. "

"Does Fellow Daoist Gui regard me as a stepdaughter now? Unfortunately, I don't recognize you as a father."

Gui Tangdong remembered Jiang Xianchen's lesson, and felt that sometimes he would control others too much, so that he would do bad things with good intentions.So he said: "When Madam comes back later, you should explain to her yourself, let's talk about business first."

"I can confirm this. Yin Qiaowen is dead, but Detective Shi You is only physically destroyed. I am not like your beautiful but brainless companion, who knows the severity: the Star Torch Hall can kill an old eighth son, But one of the top researchers of "Xuan Ji Tu" cannot be killed."

Le Huatian used this topic to narrate her own experience: After leaving Xu State, she went to southern Xinjiang, because the Yinshan League had a deeper connection with the Star Torch Hall, and in her undetermined memory, she lived for a while. In the Hehuan Sect, I want to find out the truth.

As a result, she was unable to cross the Wall of Sighs set up by Moxiu on the southern border of Southern Xinjiang. This wall is the central axis, and the defense system with many ground fortresses, floating fortresses, and airports inside and outside has complex and effective protection. Ability, Le Huatian was discovered when a "lonely ghost" invaded 30 meters, and was chased back by Moxiu.

For this reason, Le Huatian needs a Moxiu who has status but is not too powerful, preferably petite and beautiful, with few acquaintances, and who likes to be alone, as his new body. Select Yinqiaowen.

Yin Qiaowen is eager to copy Shi Youtan's fortune, observing the starry sky in a hidden place, while ignoring the attention of the surroundings, and most of the protection of Yin Qiaowen's cave is aimed at enemies with entities.

Therefore, when Yin Qiaowen was fascinated by the astrology, Le Huatian quietly invaded her cave and attached to the items she carried.

Because he didn't directly possess Yin Qiaowen, the protective measures on Yin Qiaowen's body were not triggered, and Le Huatian spent some time disarming Yin Qiaowen's protective measures on the spirit body, and then lurked.

Things quickly turned around, Yin Qiaowen calculated the turning point in her life, and then found "Rite Soul". At the moment when she was most relaxed, Le Huatian took the opportunity to replace it and drove Yin Qiaowen into "Rite Soul", And Yin Qiaowen's final blow made his face abstract, as a warning to his colleagues.

Le Huatian just occupied Yin Qiaowen's body fusion is not enough, coupled with an abstract face, it is easy to show her feet, so she found someone to put on "Rite Soul" on her head, and hide herself in Shushi Kingdom, A few months later, even the fellow disciples of the Star Torch Hall couldn't tell the difference between her and Yin Qiaowen.

"The appearance of Fellow Daoist Gui made me want to destroy Yin Qiaowen's soul. Just in time, no matter where you can stir up the situation, I will ask my subordinates to take you into my secret residence and propose a commission as Yin Qiaowen... Seeing you again. I'm so happy, you know how hard I try to control my expression."

"Then you kept hiding it from me?" Gui Tangdong asked.

"You've been stared at badly, and if you find out the truth, you will definitely come to me. In case I can't help it myself, if our subordinates see the two of us, it's easy to make them suspicious, so they and Yin Qiao Like text, it must be disposed of as soon as possible.

When Xia Qifeng attacked, I made a move, and planned to continue to hide my identity... It's a pity that Shi Youtan thought he had a big advantage, so he insisted on fighting me. I had no choice but to destroy her body. "

"It sounds like there are many similarities between the Yinshan League and the Star Torch Hall."

"Who says it's not? Maybe we are all descendants of wizards from the Chu region. It is said that the Xuanji picture in the Star Torch Hall contains the origin of southern border exercises and even the cultivation techniques of the Taoist realm."

Chapter 47 Family of Three

Gui Tangdong obtained a lot of new information from Le Huatian, and he also shared his own knowledge. In the middle, he interspersed with memories of what he and Le Huatian experienced together last year. Le Huatian remembered most of them, and a few forgot , while the rest additionally supplement their own perspectives.

Gui Tangdong didn't see any major problems, but he still didn't fully trust Le Huatian, because she could pretend to be Yin Qiaowen so that the monks in the Star Torch Hall didn't notice, and naturally she could pretend to be someone he knew.

They spent an afternoon importing the information of both sides into the map. The chart of this flying magic weapon is accurate except for the places where the route passes, and the rest is horrible... In fact, they have the ability to make accurate maps of the 36 countries in southern Xinjiang (specifically To the location of the village) there are only eight sects and the seven emperors of Moxiu. When knowledge means power, knowledge becomes a controlled product like armor.

At this time, Nan Qingxu and the others came back, and this was what Gui Tangdong was waiting for. Nan Qingxu had an amazing perception of her offspring, and now, her perception was used by Gui Tangdong as a reference.

Nan Qingxu didn't know Yin Qiaowen, but when she saw him, she was stunned, then wiped the corners of her eyes, and said with some embarrassment: "The corners of my eyes are a little dry."

Seeing her reaction, Gui Tangdong believed in Le Huatian's identity to [-]%. The closer he was to the Nascent Soul Realm, the more enemies he had, and he gradually became suspicious.He knew very well that this would be the most difficult period of his life so far, and Xia Qifeng would definitely spread the news to attract more enemies.

Gui Tangdong told everyone about Le Huatian's false identity to accept him as a member of the team, and then he secretly voiced Nan Qingxu and Jiang Xianchen alone, talked about Le Huatian's identity and asked the other party to keep it secret.

Nan Qingxu couldn't hold back her tears, Gui Tangdong took her back to the room, asked Le Huatian to accompany her, and then explained to everyone: "Madam and Fellow Daoist Yin have an old relationship."

Gui Tangdong's concubine has an old relationship with Moxiu, Gui Tangdong doesn't care about how everyone understands this news.Lian Jinfeng looked very happy today, she came out of the crowd and bowed to Gui Tangdong, who held her arm.

"After a few hours after taking the medicine, my mother's condition has improved. For everyone's great kindness, I wish to repay you with a grass ring and follow your lord's service!"

As soon as Lian Jinfeng's mother got better, Lian Jinfeng returned to the team. First of all, she is a gentleman, and she promises a thousand gold. Since she has signed an employment contract with Jiang Xianchen, she will definitely fulfill it;

Second, her mother's condition has improved, but follow-up health care is another expense. Her father and younger brother take turns to take care of her mother. The family's fields and fish ponds are gradually neglected, and their income is reduced. In the end, she has to go out to work to earn money to support the family.

Lian Jinfeng is a discerning person. She is grateful to Jiang Xianchen who gave him the life-saving medicine. Because the big cakes painted by Gui Tangdong moved her heart, and because he has a high moral quality, although he is not a gentleman, he is not a villain either.

During the day when everyone followed Lian Jinfeng to visit relatives, Lian Jinfeng overheard the conversation between Nan Qingxu and Jiang Xianchen. In order to ease the relationship between Gui Tangdong and Jiang Xianchen, Nan Qingxu told a lot about her past, Gui Tangdong sympathized And the attitude of helping the weak made her nod secretly.

That night, Gui Tangdong finally finished all the formalities. When he came back, Jiang Xianchen brought the flower pot to his room and said, "This is the lavender. It blooms in the morning and withers and withers in the evening. Die quickly. The next year, new lavender plants will burst out of the nearby soil, waiting for a year to bloom."

"It's very expensive."
