Astral Apostle

   Chapter 202 Unexpected solicitation

The    farce didn't last long, and soon a group of people came in a hurry to carry the golden messenger away, and the people outside the Ye residence calmed down.

   Master Yufeng has been in Ningtian Mansion for several months, and now he has a very high status in the eyes of the common people.

  The two Taoists watched the golden messenger be carried away, and then they looked back and lined up with peace of mind.

   After a while, the team finally got their turn. Daoist Nen Mian handed the steward a famous letter asking for a meeting and two ultimatums.

   The steward glanced at the Taoist attire of the two of them, and then carefully checked the Chaduyi, his face suddenly became positive: "The two are Taoist priests from Qingliang Mountain?"

   The Taoist man with a tender face bowed and said:

   "That's right, Miao Xuzi, my junior brother. This is my junior brother Xuan Yuanzi. The two of us came here to see Master Yufeng."

   "Two Taoists wait a moment, I will report to the real person."

   The steward pleaded guilty and hurriedly returned to the mansion with the famous post.

  Qingliang Mountain is the righteous Taoist, this is the world-famous Taoist school of the world, and it is one of the authentic Taoist schools in the world.

   The two Taoists waited for a while before the steward came back and said respectfully:

   "The two priests have a request, follow me to see the real person."

   "It's work."

  Miao Xuzi nodded, and he was slightly relieved.

   He is from Qingliang Mountain, and this identity is equivalent to a golden sign in the Taoist world. However, in front of this mysterious Master Yufeng, he doesn't know whether it will be useful or not. Now that he knows that Master Yufeng is willing to see them, he is relieved.

  The two followed the steward into the Ye Mansion, walked through the hall all the way through the courtyard, and finally came to the meeting room.

   As soon as they entered the door, the two saw Zhou Jing sitting in the hall, who was different and unfathomable.

   "Pin Dao Miao Xuzi (Xuan Yuanzi), I have seen fellow Daoists."

  The two bowed together and looked at Zhou Jing secretly.

  Miao Xuzi's eyes flickered with clear light, looking at the qi, he found that Zhou Jing's body was full of wood spirit qi emanating from the inside, and he couldn't help being secretly shocked.

   It really is the natural realm of Taoism, then Wei Laodao is not arrogant... There are really people who practice such Taoism in the world.

  Fortunately, he was mentally prepared, so his expression did not change, covering his mind.

   Zhou Jing was also observing the two of them, nodding and saying, "The two priests are polite, please take a seat."

   He heard Wei Zifu of the Qingling School say that there are five major Taoist schools in the world, and the Qingliangshan Righteous Heart Taoism is one of them. It has a true tradition of techniques, and is good at stargazing, divination, qi, Kanyu, talisman, and prayer.

   So when the steward handed over the famous post, Zhou Jing thought about it and planned to invite two Taoist priests to meet.

  Qingliang Mountain is located in the Central Plains area. Now, two Taoist priests are visiting him in the south. Most of them are a mysterious Taoist priest with no background. They finally caught the attention of these true preachers, so they sent people to inquire about it.

  It is really easy to use your own identity of pretending to be a ghost. You don't have to run around and break your legs.

   After the two sat down, Zhou Jing asked:

   "I have also heard the name of the Righteous Heart Dao in Qingliang Mountain, but I don't know what the two fellow Daoists are here for?"

   "The real name of Yufeng is spread all over the world, and the two of us admire it in our hearts, so I came here to get acquainted."

  Miao Xuzi replied with a well-established reason, at least seven of the ten people said so.

   Zhou Jing curled his lips secretly, naturally disbelieving in his heart, but in his mouth he said the words of habitual scenes:

   "It's just a fake name."

   The two continued to chat a few words.

   At this moment, Miao Xuzi coughed and asked:

   "I heard that real people have no sects and no sects, and Taoism is self-contained. Is this true?"

   Zhou Jing raised his eyebrows: "That's right, the poor road is clean in the mountains and fields, comprehends nature, and the techniques are self-contained."

   Miao Xuzi complimented: "The real person is amazing and talented, and I really admire it."

   After a pause, he changed the subject and asked:

   "I don't know where the real fairyland is?"

   "Where the red dust came from, I don't want to mention it again." Zhou Jing waved his hand.

  Miao Xuzi hesitated for a few breaths, and then he said in a low voice, "I don't know if a real person can be proficient in divination? Have you calculated your own destiny?"

   "This is never, I don't know what you want to say?"

   Zhou Jing became more and more curious about this man's purpose.

Miao Xuzi said sternly: "I am good at star-gazing and fortune-telling, and there is a technique called 'Tianyuan Great Calculation', which can detect good and bad luck and predict fate. Pindao has been immersed in this way for decades, and he is quite proficient. I took the liberty to count once for a real person, and found that the real person's life is strange, with no result and no cause..."

   After he finished speaking, he stared at Zhou Jing closely, unwilling to let go of the slightest change on Zhou Jing's face.

   However, Zhou Jing didn't hide it at all, showing a curious look on his face, and said with interest: "Is there such a thing? Daoist friend elaborate."

Miao Xuzi settled his mind and explained: "This kind of fate is rare in the world, I don't know the origin and the end, and most of them are strange people. My ancestors used Tianyuan to find this matter and recorded it in the classics. It has been more than a hundred years since then. No one was found until the real person was born..."

   Zhou Jing's heart moved, and he was secretly surprised.

   Over a hundred years ago... It seems to be the period when the main world explorers first met with this world.

  If what this person said is true, could it be that this technique called Tianyuan Dasuan can detect the secret difference between outsiders and natives of this world to a certain extent?

   It seems that although the extraordinary power of this world is in its infancy, some magical things are gradually revealed.

   Zhou Jing's thoughts could not help but unfold.

  In this case, the main world explorers may also have similar extraordinary abilities, and can distinguish the differences between the natives and the same kind, so that the explorers cannot hide among the natives, so as to find out all kinds of potential people.

   However, Zhou Jing recalled the case of the explorer course again, and felt that even with this extraordinary ability to distinguish, it was just the icing on the cake.

  Because in many astral worlds, the race of the explorers and the natives themselves are different, which can be seen at a glance, and having a wealth of superpowers is also a distinctive feature of the explorers.

   In addition, the adaptability of the astral world to different extraordinary abilities is also limited. For example, in this world, the difference between outsiders and natives can be detected in this world, but in other worlds, it may be ineffective. The same is true for other methods.

'However, at present the plane where the main world is about to meet is only this world. If I can learn the great calculation of this day, then when the explorers enter, I can easily find them from the crowd... If the Taoist of Qingliang Mountain is not deceived my words. ’

   Zhou Jing's mind came alive.

   However, why this Qingliang Mountain Taoist told himself openly and honestly, but the intention is unclear.

   Zhou Jing's thoughts flashed, he nodded and said:

"I see... but no matter how weird my destiny is, I am also me, and I don't care about it. But this matter should be a secret passed down from generation to generation in Qingliang Mountain. I don't know why the elder tells it so easily? Man, what else is there to say?"

   Hearing the words, Miao Xuzi's face turned straight, and he said solemnly:

   "My ancestors once said that they had scruples at the beginning, and it was a pity that they could not get to know such a destined person, so I left a message to tell the children of future generations that if they encounter such a destined person again, they must be friends with them."

   And then observe and study up close...

   Zhou Jing secretly complained.

   The style of Qingliangshan, is it like "doing scientific research"?

   If the explorers come in in the future, this Qingliang Mountain will come into contact with them, and let the explorers also learn this great calculation, then the explorers will mistakenly think that their apostles are also one of them...

   Well, there are pros and cons. You don’t have to pretend to be an aboriginal identity and be mistaken for an explorer identity. Maybe you can gain a better understanding of the explorer’s internal situation, and even start cheating.

'However, that also requires the explorer to be proficient in the calculation of Tianyuan. The explorer is not like my apostle who has accelerated the practice. I don't know how long it will take to use it normally. OK. ’

   Zhou Jing silently wrote down this matter.

   At this moment, Miao Xuzi took a deep breath and changed the conversation:

   "A real person is amazingly talented and can teach himself without a teacher, but even if he has such talent, groping behind closed doors is twice the result with half the effort. It is better to know more techniques for reference, which is more conducive to bringing forth new ideas..."

   Zhou Jing raised his brows: "What do you mean by this, fellow Daoist?"

  Miao Xuzi stood up suddenly and bowed solemnly:

   "I'm here to visit the real person, and the other thing is to invite the real person to enter my Qingliang Mountain gate to be the same generation as my righteous contemporary Daokui."

   His visit to Ning Tian this time has several tasks. One is to inquire about Zhou Jing's Taoism, whether it is consistent with the rumors, and whether there are any signs of being a member of the evil sect.

  The second is to follow the order of the teacher and make friends with this kind of person who has no fruit and no cause.

  ——As for the reason, of course, it is not only the legacy of the ancestors.

Qingliang Mountain believes in the theory of luck, often stargazing, and finds that the emperor star is swaying, and thinks that the troubled times will come out. I think that most people with this kind of destiny have great luck and will make a difference in the troubled times, so I made a note in advance. Guarantee, first climb a lucky person for your own Taoism.

   And the third thing is that he fell in love with the exhalation technique in Zhou Jing's hands.

   Of course, Qingliang Mountain is the right way, and they don’t take it by force. It just so happens that this real Yufeng has no family or faction, so they plan to include this person and everyone will become the same family.

   is not a conspiracy, but a sincere solicitation, because the real Yufeng has the ability to "create his own magic and establish a school".

   And what is the most important thing in a martial art...talent!

   As long as you become the same sect, the future achievements of Yufeng Renren will be distributed to the sect.

Qingliangshan wanted the wind-breathing technique in Zhou Jing's hands, and he didn't hesitate to teach him his own true technique -- this person's talent was no less than that of the ancestors of various sects. Make more money.

   This wave is a win-win!

   Zhou Jing was quite surprised, thought a little in his heart, and roughly understood Qingliangshan's plan, only to realize that this matter seemed unexpected and reasonable.

   'This Qingliang Mountain holds the name of the authentic Taoist sect, and has taken a fancy to me as a person and technique, but he acts upright and upright. ’

   He secretly analyzed the pros and cons, his eyes flashed, and he asked:

   "What if I don't join?"

  Miao Xuzi said frankly: "That's okay, I still want to have a good relationship with the real person in Qingliangshan."

   Zhou Jing pondered for a while, then said slowly:

   "Qingliangshan is quite sincere, but I still need to consider this matter. I can't answer you for the time being. During this period, the two fellow Daoists will stay in Ningtian for the time being."

   "It should be like this, I hope the real person thinks about it."

   Miao Xuzi agreed immediately.

  The two sides talked for a while, and Miao Xuzi left their address before leaving for the time being.

   Zhou Jing watched the two go out, took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and his eyes flashed.

   He is quite interested in the Tianyuan grand plan inherited from Qingliang Mountain, and he is inclined to join the team...cough, get started.

   As long as you get started, Zhengxindao makes him the same generation as the contemporary leader, which is equivalent to accepting apprentices on behalf of the master, with a high status and good treatment.

   Borrowing the name of Qingliang Mountain, it also improves its own influence. Compared with the origin of the "wild Taoist", of course, the certification of the authentic Taoist sect is more useful, and it is also beneficial to the emperor's plan. This thing is equivalent to "serious compilation".

   As for one more sect title, Zhou Jing didn't care.

   With his ability, he will not be controlled by others when he starts, and most likely he can become an outsider. As long as he does not do anything wrong, Qingliangshan may be happy to see him make friends with powerful people.

   Besides, he doesn't have the idea of ​​opening a school at the moment. This is a big project. It's not enough to have magic techniques. He also needs to be familiar with various Taoist classics and compile a set of theories. He really doesn't understand this mysterious stuff.

  ——Even if you want to "start a business", you must first join a large company, understand the industry's gameplay, and learn from the advanced experience of successful people.

   "Interesting, this Qingliang Mountain has some doorways..."

   Zhou Jing squinted and thought.

  …

   On the other side, the golden messenger was taken back to Zhao Xing'an's house, and after a little rest, he barely recovered.

   "Damn and hateful! How dare you treat me like this!"

  The golden messenger was still pale and indignant.

   Zhao Xing'an hehe said: "The real Yufeng has a weird temperament, Master Jin should not have the same knowledge as him... I wonder if Master Jin has learned his skills during this trip?"

  The golden messenger took a breath and glared at Zhao Xing'an: "Well, you Zhao Zhifu, you deliberately pushed me to the door, but you are hiding at home, just want to make me look ugly!"

   Zhao Xing'an laughed and waved his hand: "Master Jin is wrong to blame me. I said early on that this real Yufeng has real skills, but the master doesn't believe it. He has to witness it with his own eyes. How can you blame this official for not reminding him?"

  Golden messenger had a heart attack, but he knew he was right, and he didn't want to offend Zhao Xing'an too much, so he snorted and stopped struggling.

   He calmed down, temporarily suppressed his inner dissatisfaction, and frowned:

"This person doesn't know where he came from, but he really has some weird skills, but the more so, the less he can easily go to see the saint, otherwise he is so surly, if he doesn't agree, he will kill the saint, then we will all lose our heads. ."

   Zhao Xing'an also smiled and said thoughtfully: "Shen Yufeng has been in Ningtian for several months, and he has made friends with powerful people. I have never seen any malicious intentions from him... However, your words are not unreasonable, you should be more cautious."

   Ordinary assassins can't bring weapons close to the Sage, but Master Yufeng comes with his own magic. If he is really malicious and is summoned by the Sage, he can assassinate at any time, and the safety of the emperor cannot be guaranteed.

   Zhao Xing'an made a memorial and reported this to the emperor because it was difficult to hide it after the fame of the real Yufeng, and there would always be other officials.

So Zhao Xing'an worried that he, as the local prefect, did not report the matter. Instead, he let others file a memorial first. Some people would use the topic to impeach him for concealment, and then expand the problem to make the sage wonder if he really has a lot of things to hide on weekdays. If you don't report it, you will lose your holy family... He has no doubt that political enemies of other parties will throw dirty water on him like this.

   Therefore, he truthfully reported the existence of Yufeng Zhenren, but did not write words of praise, but only implemented the responsibilities of the prefect of one place, wrote it down as local knowledge, and offered to the sage and the courtiers to judge whether it was true or not.

   So in fact, Zhao Xing'an did not deliberately match up with the real Yufeng. No matter whether the emperor summoned this person in the future, he wanted to remove himself first.

   Of course... If Master Yufeng is appreciated by the emperor, he doesn't mind changing his attitude and jumping out to claim credit.

  Golden messenger did not know all the thoughts in Zhao Xing's heart, and said solemnly:

"It's best to find an excuse to let this person leave Ningtian for the time being, and not let the sage have the opportunity to call him into the palace. Or temporarily tarnish his reputation, suppress his reputation, and make the sage lose interest in him... These matters will be handed over to Zhao Zhifu, and the Holy One will arrive at Ningtian in a few days, and I have to go back to report to Prime Minister Lu."

"……it is good."

   Zhao Xing'an came back to his senses, hehe smiled, and made up his mind not to get involved. During this time, he kept a distance from Zhou Jing.

   Of course I can't afford to offend the emperor, so I can afford to offend Master Yufeng?

  We don't want to be hated by such a master, hanging on a tree like you, and being blown by the wind all day and night... How cold.
