Sword of Coming

In the early morning, Chen Ping'an stretched out his hand and grasped the jade tablet in his sleeve. He shrank away from the mountains and rivers and came to the steps outside the summer palace. It was different from the summer palace where the door was closed all day long. It looked a bit like a government office. That makes sense.

Unlike those vassal cities, there are no concierge monks here. If you have something to do, there is no obstruction. Just don't hang around. If you have something to say, you can leave after talking, simply and neatly.

If you want to ask the Yinguan lineage sword cultivator to bring out drinks and entertain guests, don't even think about it.

In the early years of the summer palace, except for the boss Sword Immortal, Chen Xi and Qi Tingji were unable to cross the gate.

Ning Yao had never set foot in the summer palace before she landed in Feisheng City and she temporarily assumed the position of hermit official.

Fan Dache was cleaning the courtyard early in the morning. He was lightly tapped on the shoulder, and someone smiled and shouted: "Dache."

When Fan Dache heard such a familiar voice, he almost shed tears on the spot. He turned his head and shouted: "Sir Yin Guan."

Chen Pingan gently patted Fan Dache's arm and said, "Let's talk while walking."

In fact, the current general situation of the Yinguan lineage had been told by Ning Yao before, but Fan Dache apparently explained it more carefully, so Chen Pingan listened patiently.

The first five young sword cultivators who entered the Summer Palace were all highly qualified sword immortal embryos. Even though they were not yet Jindan sword cultivators, they were already in Feisheng City before they became Yin Guan lineage sword cultivators. In the Patriarch Hall, each has a chair. Within a few years, this group of boys and girls officially became the Yinguan lineage one after another.

Nowadays, the golden and jade genealogy of Feisheng City, in addition to the monks' respective masters, can be divided into three lines of monks: the direct descendants of the ancestral hall, the executioners, and the twelve vassal forces in the four cities and eight mountains outside Feisheng City. For example, the chief worshipper Deng Liang occupies In Zifu Mountain, this Jade Pu Realm sword cultivator is qualified to open a peak and build a mansion, and can pass down his own family lineage. Of course a monk can have multiple identities.

After those five genius sword cultivators, the Summer Palace recruited another group of members, all of whom were still young and girls with good qualifications.

However, they can only be regarded as candidates for the time being, and they still need to be inspected for three to five years as usual. This is a rule established by Lin Junbi and Song Gaoyuan back then. Similar to the new scholars in the secular officialdom at the foot of the mountain, they will "walk" in various yamen as a formal fill-in vacancy. With previous experience, not all candidates can become real sword cultivators of the Yinguan lineage. Some sword cultivators who failed to become official members in the end did not want to lose their wealth, so they went to the summer resort city, where Dong Bu and Xu Ning The subordinates are on duty.

Chen Pingan nodded and said: "In this matter, the Yinguan lineage is indeed suspected of being pinched."

Fan Dache smiled and said: "Master Yin Guan, no one in Feisheng City has the nerve to compete with us. Besides, for those young sword cultivators, becoming a sword cultivator of our Yin Guan lineage is of course the first choice. If It’s not that the threshold here is too high, the number of sword cultivators in the Summer Palace today has at least doubled!”

Chen Pingan asked a series of questions, "Are there no rumors outside? Is there anyone who has any opinions on the style of Yinguan sword cultivators? Doesn't the Summer Palace have a separate account book for those who speak fair words?"

Fan Dache smiled shyly and said, "There is some gossip, but not too much, so we don't care about it."

Chen Pingan patted Fan Dache on the shoulder and said, "Dache, you guys should be honest."

Now the Yinguan lineage of sword cultivators is mainly responsible for three things, supervision. Collect intelligence and train dead soldiers. Fully responsible for all matters of the summer city.

In fact, there were less than half of the sword cultivators staying at the Summer Palace today.

Luo Zhenyi and Fan Dache have been responsible for the daily affairs of the summer palace these years.

Wang Xinshui and Chang Taiqing are responsible for the collection, screening and inspection of various types of intelligence. Dong Bu is now the city lord of the summer resort city, and Xu Ning is the deputy city lord. They need to be on time every day to train spies and dead soldiers. Landed in the summer city.

Gu Jianlong was still traveling outside. As a protector of the Yin Guan lineage, he was training with the sword cultivators of the Xingguan lineage. They each brought a group of young sword cultivators to a distant enclave where they set up monuments.

The five sword cultivators who were direct descendants of the Ancestral Hall of Feisheng City are now scattered in all directions, each performing their own duties and practicing outside.

Outside the lobby door of the summer palace, there is a couplet hanging, which is the uncommon dragon-men couplet, written in the ancient stele and regular script of Shenyi.

Through the ages, the mountains, rivers and mountains have created a pure spirit. The mountains are high, the water is deep, and the sword energy is long. Only my sword shines like a rainbow, and the wild world has bowed to it for ten thousand years.

The city is so high that it has a grand view of the sky, the earth, the sun, the moon, the universe, the sky is wide and the earth is vast, and the wine is full of wine. The sword cultivators in my hometown are like clouds, and there are two types of sword cultivators in Haoran Jiuzhou.

Fan Dache smiled knowingly.

This couplet is naturally the handiwork of our Lord Yin Guan.

It is said that during the New Year period during the war, Chou Miao Jianxian invited Yin Guan to write a couplet. Yin Guan refused, saying that his handwriting was not good. As a result, even the four guardians led by Guo Zhujiu After defecting, Yin Guan was only willing to dictate the content, and asked Chou Miao and Lin Junbi to write the upper and lower couplets respectively. The result was still unsuccessful, and finally there was this couplet that was later known to all the young and old in Feisheng City.

Even those local sword cultivators who have a bad impression of Yin Guan can't find any fault with this couplet. They can only pinch their noses and say, that bitch doesn't have such a small cotton-padded jacket. No wonder the boss sword immortal will let this couplet. The guy is a hidden official.

Chen Ping'an crossed the threshold of the lobby and entered the very familiar lobby. The seats were almost unchanged. It was still a small desk and a futon. At most, the owner had changed. On the desk, there were four treasures of the study and a bookcase. Each book can be placed at will according to the owner's preference.

Chen Pingan did not sit on the main seat, but chose the seat that once belonged to Lin Junbi.

The furnishings on the desk should be Gu Jianlong's position, two sword manuals, several seals, and a study item that he obtained from the palace treasury due to his military exploits.

After hearing the news, Luo Zhenyi, Wang Xinshui, and Chang Taiqing came over. The three young people who had stayed in the summer palace in their early years were now considered "old people" of the Yinguan lineage.

Seeing the green shirt, Luo Zhenyi was stunned. She quickly regained her composure, smiled, clasped her fists and said, "I've seen Yin Guan."

Wang Xinshui and Chang Taiqing also smiled and clasped their fists, and naturally called Yin Guan.

Even if Ning Yao is present, this is probably the case.

Chen Ping'an smiled and waved his hand: "I am just an idle person."

Especially Wang Xinshui, one of the four bad guys in the past, his eyes filled with tears. His steps slipped, and he sat next to Mr. Yin Guan and began to ask for help. As a result, Chen Pingan slapped him on the forehead. Wang Xinshui reacted angrily. Return to your seat.

Chang Taiqing asked: "Master Yin Guan, do you want to call Dong Bu and others from the summer city?"

Chen Pingan smiled and shook his head: "No need."

Luo Zhenyi and others took their seats. On top of her desk, there was a pot of wintersweet, cut appropriately, next to a pot of calamus, which was so green.

The sword cultivators currently staying in the summer palace are almost all teenagers and girls, and they still look a bit childish.

At this moment, everyone was crowded at the door, their eyes widened, and they carefully looked at the legendary Yin Guan.

When Chen Ping'an was the second shopkeeper of the wine shop, they were still young. At that time, most of them were lower-level sword cultivators. Of course, they couldn't go to the wine shop to drink.

After becoming a hidden official, Chen Pingan stayed in the summer palace and did not show his face except for going to the battlefield.

What's more, every time the young hidden official rushes to the battlefield, he has all kinds of tricks, who can recognize him?

If Lu Zhi hadn't spilled the beans, who would have dared to believe that the "strange woman" that so many bachelors yearned for could actually be the second shopkeeper? !

Therefore, because of this move, the current monks of Quan Mansion have a popular saying of wisdom. There is really no reason to not even pick up rags and earn money just to save face.

However, two of the young men had seen the second shopkeeper from a distance asking about boxing with a foreign girl, a martial artist. Anyway, just one punch made her feel affectionate and cherish her.

There are more skills, but they are not pure martial artists, so they can't see anything. But back then, the cheers on the street were loud, especially when the second shopkeeper was knocked down with a punch. All those watching and betting were as if they had been beaten to death, whistling hard, especially Guo Zhujiu, who had Beat gongs and drums all the way on the wall.

Luo Zhenyi glanced at the door and said, "Go back and do your work."

It can be seen that Luo Zhenyi is a sword cultivator second only to Ning Yao in the summer palace realm. She is also in charge of daily affairs and is still very majestic. The boys and girls immediately dispersed and returned to the government office to handle matters. It's just that the young sword cultivators were in high spirits and talking a lot along the way. Today's summer palace, although small, is well-equipped with many departments, inspection departments, beheading and surveying departments, bookkeeping offices, secret archives, stolen goods and punishment treasury, etc., but Often there is only one room in a "government office". Except for the two largest departments of supervision and investigation, there is only one person in the other government offices.

A young swordsman returned to the government office. Because he was meticulous in his work and was born in Yuhu Street, he had been reading and literate since he was a child. Therefore, the young man is now in charge of the archives room. The bookshelves in the room are attached to three walls, and books and volumes are piled up in layers. On the roof, there are thousands of notes and notes, tucked inside books, all with the same handwriting.

If the couplets in the lobby of the summer palace are written like the handwriting of a tipsy drunkard, which looks clumsy but is actually sharp-edged and high-spirited, then the small regular script on these notes looks like the handwriting of a drunkard who never drinks. A person who is always awake is meticulous and never makes mistakes.

Therefore, the young swordsman who could have entered the Zhan Survey Division took the initiative to work here, dealing with secret files all day long, and became a clerk who rarely had the opportunity to go out to practice and pass swords to anyone.

Over in the lobby, Chen Ping'an wiped the desk with his sleeve and said with a smile: "The eight hills outside the city, including Zifu Mountain, were divided up among the eight hills outside the city, including Wuquanfu San. We should occupy at least two of them. If you are in a position, even if you are scolded as squatting in a manhole and not taking a shit, it doesn't matter."

"When discussing matters in the Patriarch Hall, you can directly ask for three at the beginning. Of course it is difficult for Ning Yao to ask for this kind of thing, but you, for example, let Fan Dache take the lead, Wang Xinshui follow, and let Gu Jianlong say some fair words , and in the end, taking two of the hilltops was nothing more than taking one from each of the two branches of Xinguanquan Mansion. I don’t think it’s a big problem. The four-two-two pattern was almost the bottom line in Qi Shou and Gao Yehou’s minds at that time.”

"Those eight mountaintops are different from vassal cities such as Yanshu, Tuoyue, and Wukui. If the latter want to operate properly without making mistakes, they have to devote a considerable number of sword cultivators to distract themselves from the general affairs. However, Zifu Mountain Such a geomantic treasure land, in addition to building a second city protection formation, is more like a place of cultivation. It will not share too much manpower of the Yinguan lineage. What's more, if there are more swordsmen in the summer palace in the future, there will be two more In the future, the two Nascent Soul Sword Cultivators will be able to practice sword refining and Taoism in this dojo."

Luo Zhenyi couldn't hold it back, "Didn't you tell me earlier?"

Chen Pingan put his hands in his sleeves and said with a smile: "Do you think I am a fortune teller who predicts the future, or do you think I am going to knock the colorful world away with my head and then say hello to you at the top of my voice?"

Luo Zhenyi was frustrated.

Chang Taiqing couldn't help laughing.

Chen Pingan stretched out a hand, tapped the table with his fingers, and said slowly: "I have a suggestion, please listen to it. The Yinguan lineage can open up a city alone. We just have to pay for it ourselves. No need. If you ask for it from the Quanfu lineage, of course, if someone is willing to give it to you, you're welcome.

The bigger the city, the better. It can be built at Dalongjuao and Xiaolongjuao, eight hundred miles northeast of the summer resort city. In the summer resort palace, except for the sword cultivators in a few key positions, everyone may need to put aside the things at hand. Let go, of course it would be best to be able to take care of both, go... snatch people. "

Chang Taiqing immediately became excited and said, "How much do you want to grab?"

Chen Ping'an continued: "Strive to seize a population of 600,000 to 1 million from Fuyao Continent and Tongye Continent within thirty to fifty years. It doesn't matter whether there are qi practitioners here. As for building a new city, With the previous experience in the summer resort city, there is no need for outsiders to help, but to attract people, the north and south streams, without the escort of a hundred sword cultivators to help clear the way, it is difficult to ensure that no accidents occur. During this period, a large number of Xianjia ferries need to be used , as well as two stable routes, to formulate a detailed and accurate Kanyu route map, and to set up a series of station points along the way. It will definitely require the cooperation of the Xingguan and Quanfu, but remember one thing, they are only cooperating with us, and..."

Wang Xinshui chuckled and answered, "No reward!"

Luo Zhenyi raised his eyebrows, "What about remuneration? It involves the great cause of Ascension City. We should cooperate sincerely."

"When it comes to robbing people, you don't need to treat any Qi practitioners as treasures. It's best to have them by the way. It doesn't matter if you don't have them. The only thing you have to do is to rob those peasant monks. I know they are very valuable now and all forces respect them as guests. , may not be willing to travel long distances and leave home just after settling down, so it is no problem to use sap and put sacks on them. Since it is impossible to do it first with courtesy and then with soldiers, it is necessary to first with soldiers and then with courtesy. We, the Yinguan lineage, can specially make promises to these monks Given the status of worshippers and guests, the number of this group of farm Qi practitioners must be at least twenty or thirty, the more the better."

"We must make an agreement with them early. First of all, in addition to ensuring their personal interests, we can also allow them to take people with them to leave their hometown and rush to the new city. They can be relatives, family members, or direct disciples. You can give them a household registration status in a summer resort. , even if they leave their household registration in the future and return to their hometown, it can be regarded as a special ultimatum that can be 'hereditized' for three generations, which means that their descendants will be able to come and go freely for almost a hundred years in the future based on this guide. All vassal lands in Feisheng City including Summer Resort City.”

Wang Xinshui nodded and said: "We must make everyone in the colorful world feel that it is a privilege to obtain household registration and certificates issued by Feisheng City. This in itself can attract foreigners to take root here."

"Secondly, within a period of sixty years, the monks of Ascension City must give them enough respect within the framework of the rules. Once the sixty-year period is up, if they still want to leave, they will never be forced to stay. They should give money to them without hesitation. Just think of it as a good get-together and a long-lasting love between the two parties."

"So if they want to go back and establish a sect after leaving Feisheng City, or seek an official status in various new dynasties or vassal states, we can help them, such as sword cultivators of the Summer Palace lineage, or even serve as swordsmen for a certain number of years. Worshipers and guests, please remember to agree on the number of years, otherwise it will be too worthless. In this way, this group of farm monks will have no worries. The trip to Feisheng City Jiazi can become a precious qualification for them. It’s a business of twisting the melon by force, but the more you chew, the sweeter it becomes.”

Hearing this, Luo Zhenyi asked tentatively: "If we secretly find the mountain forces of the peasant monks and discuss it, won't we not have to rob people? Maybe many forces will be willing to go up the pole and beg to fight with them. We cooperate, because according to various intelligence collected by the Summer Palace, the peasant monks in the north and the south, either on their own initiative or under the instruction of others, have begun to lower their threshold and recruit disciples at will, not to mention those who have become peasant monks. The threshold is not high. In the past, in the wild and vast world, no one wanted to become a farmer's child just because of the low status and small income. Now it is different from the past. The higher the status, the more income. Therefore, Lord Yin Guan's so-called thirty There aren’t actually many people, maybe we can find two or three sects and we’ll have it.”

Even a fool now knows what the Ascension City means in this colorful world, otherwise no one would bother to guess whether it will become the Middle Earth Confucian Temple in the vast world, or the Bai Yujing in the Qingming world.

Chen Ping'an hesitated for a moment, seeming to have some concerns, but finally nodded and said: "This is feasible, you should hurry up and work out a rough charter."

Luo Zhenyi thought for a while and promised: "I can come up with a draft plan within a day."

It's a pity that Lin Junbi and the others are not here, otherwise Luo Zhenyi would be more confident.

He is bookish and arrogant. He always feels that he can do everything in the world, but in fact he can't even do a few things at hand.

At that time, Lin Junbi and Cao Gun, two Haoran sword cultivators, although young, were extremely familiar with the economic process.

Chang Taiqing immediately realized a potential risk and asked: "If we just fight to rob people, it won't be a big problem, but if we are too involved with those dynasties at the foot of the mountain and the forces on the mountain, then our summer palace will inevitably get involved. If we cause too much trouble, will it affect the transcendent status of the Yinguan lineage in Feisheng City?"

Although Chang Taiqing and Luo Zhenyi are from the same family, the matter is so important that Chang Taiqing will never hold anything back because of personal friendship.

What's more, there is a tacit understanding in the summer palace that one should treat the situation differently and not the person. Since no one can avoid making mistakes, everyone can check for others' mistakes and make up for them.

Chen Pingan nodded and said: "Of course we will. Once we fail to grasp the balance, we will lose more than we gain. If one day in the future, Feisheng City and all the vassal forces will question the intensity of rewards and punishments of Yinguan lineage sword cultivators, and the severity of their actions, it may be If there are certain problems, it becomes a habit to question whether the Yinguan lineage should take action against someone, which means there is a big problem in the summer palace."

Luo Zhenyi felt a little guilty because he thought too simply.

No wonder someone hesitated just now. Was he already anticipating the hidden danger that would spread along this line?

Chen Pingan looked at them with a smile, as if to say, what do you do, isn't it just to solve problems?

Chang Taiqing said tentatively: "Why don't we let the Xingguan lineage do this kind of thing, and we just divide some of the benefits appropriately? On the table, let the Xingguan lineage monks manage relations with those external forces. Anyway, there are so many of them. If there are many, we are only responsible for planting spies and dead soldiers secretly, so as to cooperate with the monks of the executioner line, so as not to be as far away as the emperor. If our swordsmanship encounters an accident, we will be in danger of being alone and weak. Environment, if you are not careful, it will be damaged. Lord Yinguan, what do you think?"

There is also an unwritten rule in the summer palace. Anyone who raises questions or denies others should have a solution to the problem, but he is not demanding.

Chou Miao Jianxian once chatted with Luo Zhenyi in private and spoke highly of this, saying that as long as the summer palace develops this understanding, and eventually forms a good inertia similar to customs, traditions, and rules, hidden It can be said that the officials have made great contributions.

Still very Jianqi Great Wall.

Otherwise, I will just sit back and talk about Tai Haoran.

"Very good. It can be regarded as killing three birds with one stone."

Chen Ping'an gave an approving look and nodded: "But we cannot tell everything. The Yinguan lineage still has to continue to 'pinch'. Under the premise of assessing the situation, we can retain a few private sites. The number can be small, but the foundation is deep, The potential is great, and in addition, we must ensure that all the sword cultivators in the allied forces are in the territory. In the future, as long as they want to practice superior swordsmanship or travel far away, they must first think of a summer palace, not the line of executioners."

Luo Zhenyi was relieved, "I will make a specific plan based on this general direction."

Chen Pingan suddenly asked: "The Jindan sword cultivator who was thrown out of the ancestral hall by Ning Yao during the seventh year of Jiachun?"

Luo Zhenyi said: "In these years, Gu Jianlong has been responsible for keeping an eye on this person secretly. He was regarded as a great shame and humiliation by being removed from the genealogy, but he has hardly said a word of complaint outside. These years, he has mostly been in seclusion. The reason for concentrating on refining the sword is probably because I want to reach the Nascent Soul Realm as soon as possible so that I can return to the Ancestral Master Hall."

Chen Pingan asked: "Where are the two recommenders and guarantors?"

Luo Zhenyi shook his head.

Chen Ping'an said: "I didn't ask you to avenge your private revenge publicly."

Luo Zhenyi nodded and understood.

Chen Pingan narrowed his eyes and said: "You have to understand the truth. The love and hatred of pure sword cultivators are very pure. There is nothing that sword cultivators in the Great Wall of Sword Qi can't solve with Wen Jian. So be afraid, but there are some Then one thing is destined to be useless, and the hard work of practicing for a lifetime is useless, so what should I do? It’s hard to calm down, why do you still want to go to my shop to drink? "

In the past, the big deal was to go to the battlefield and pass the sword to see who had greater military exploits and killed more demons. Whoever had the loudest voice and was more reasonable.

All personal grudges are often limited to a few nagging words in private, or at most a few curse words at the wine table.

In the old Sword Qi Great Wall, I went to the top of the city, got off the top of the city, called friends to meet at the wine table, and no one died?

In today's Sword Qi Great Wall, the sword cultivators went out to practice again and began to gradually deal with various forces. When they returned home, people died?

Chen Ping'an suggested: "Actually, the threshold for a summer palace can be high, but if you have a big reputation, it's just about planting spies and training dead soldiers. Whether you are a swordsman, whether you have good qualifications, and whether you have a high level are not the most important. , a monk must be careful and cruel at the same time.”

Chang Taiqing said: "I will talk to Dong Bu and Xu Ning about this in detail later."

From the beginning to the end, Fan Dache couldn't get a word in.

Nowadays, there is a saying in Ascension City that you can’t even see the door of the summer palace.

There was a young swordsman who failed to fill the vacancy before and went to the summer city to take up a post as usual.

I once had a few laughs with someone at the wine table.

After leaving the summer palace, I gradually discovered that I was an ordinary person.

But before that, I always felt like I was a waste.

Chen Pingan said with a serious look: "Be careful of all kinds of infiltration into Feisheng City from the outside world. Although all foreigners in the four vassal cities have set up separate archives, I heard from Da Che that there are currently 1,600 recorded in them. There are many people, to put it harshly, their responsibilities are within the two branches of the Xingguan Quan Mansion. It is their business how to win over them, but our summer palace has to treat them as potential enemies."

"Today's colorful world is full of fish and dragons, and there are all weird Qi practitioners. Just talk about Haoran Tianxia, ​​there are monks such as Nanhai Duoqilang, Passer-by, Plague God, Yan Zhi, Executioner and Mirror Seller, and Qing Ming Tianxia , there are also rice thieves, corpse-removing immortals, curtain-rollers with red hands, porters, coffin bearers, mountain patrol envoys, dressing ladies, sword catchers, one-word masters, and other unimaginable magic powers and strange means. It is difficult to prevent, such as the kind of plague that seems to break out without warning, maybe it is a certain 'plague god' who has already been hiding in a certain vassal city, especially the kind of large-scale 'natural and man-made disasters' that specifically target those who are not Qi practitioners. You must make preparations in advance. In the same way, all the hilltop mansions including Zifu Mountain will definitely have different numbers of maids and servants in the future. On the eight hills, are we going to be wary of the infiltration of those patrol envoys? Water sources in various places, hidden officials Do sword cultivators of the first line need to patrol on time?"

"In addition to the strict secret investigation of the summer palace, there must be no slack in this matter. To implement the specific affairs, the criminal officer must join forces with the Quan Mansion to make preparations in advance, just in case."

"And this matter must be the top priority of the entire Patriarch Hall's discussion."

"Besides, you guys should know one thing very well. Back then, we at the Summer Palace were unable to find out all the wild and dark chess pieces."

Chen Ping'an raised his finger and pointed to the sky, "Suppose there is a heavy rain and the hands and feet are moved. How can ordinary masters cover it? What if someone moves their hands and feet in the rain? Does the vassal four cities have to have someone to keep an eye on it? Up?"

Chen Pingan shook his sleeves again, "If you want to do something in the rain, then the clouds must be dense before it rains. At least there can be a sign, but what about the wind? Or in the future, the city will be expanded and various kinds of plants will be planted on the streets. Plant decorative plants and flowers, and then what kind of floral fragrance will there be?"

Chen Pingan opened another book casually, twirled his fingers, and said in a deep voice: "Don't forget, there are also some elementary school books from those schools."

Chen Ping'an seemed to be thinking to himself, "In the future, the dead soldiers and spies we have trained suddenly start a two-sided business. How should the summer criminals guard against and screen them?"

Luo Zhenyi and others felt their scalps go numb after hearing this.

Chen Ping'an came back to his senses and said: "Onlookers know better, so let some young swordsmen in the Summer Palace put themselves in the shoes of the enemies of Ascension City and conduct battlefield attack and defense drills with you."

"The enemies of the Ascension City Sword Cultivator will no longer only fight face to face on the battlefield. There will be more and more such conspiracies and conspiracies."

"The ones who can really protect Ascension City from the wind and rain are not those standing still defense formations, but here, it is you. It is our summer palace and the sword cultivators of the Yinguan lineage."

"But in the final analysis, if you want to really solve the problem, you still have to ask the sword. In the colorful world, there is no problem that cannot be solved by the Ascension City Questioning the Sword. If there is, just two, if not, just three, until the whole city has been asked. The whole world is afraid, and no one dares to reach out to Feisheng City easily."

"For example, in the future, if you follow the clues and uncover a certain force behind the scenes, Feisheng City must kill the chicken to scare the monkeys. There is no need to hesitate. The sword challenge must be fast enough, accurate and ruthless, and must be huge. The enemy, whether it is the sect on the mountain, or Just uproot the dynasty at the foot of the mountain, cut off its incense, and cut off its kingdom. On the premise of ensuring not to kill indiscriminately, we must truly eradicate the weeds."

Fan Dache finally had a chance to speak, and asked softly: "Wouldn't it be better to hold a meeting in the Ancestral Master Hall and Lord Yin Guan talk about this?"

Chen Pingan said helplessly: "I won't stay long this time. In a few days, the celebration of the founding of the next sect of Luolu Mountain will be held over at Tongyezhou. I have to rush back. It may take twenty or thirty years to return here next time. That’s it. And for some reasons, it’s not suitable for me to show up at the Ancestral Master Hall right now.”

Chen Pingan rubbed his eyebrows, "Our chief priest will definitely establish a sect in the colorful world in the future, and Deng Liang will most likely personally serve as the first sect leader of the Jiudu Mountain Sect."

Luo Zhenyi frowned slightly and asked, "Are you worried that the lower sect founded by Deng Liang will be a swordsmanship sect with no real name?"

Similar to Daxuandu Temple in Qingming Tianxia, ​​as the leader of the Taoist Sword Immortal lineage, the monks in the Taoist temple are of course Taoist priests with genealogical status, but in fact, a considerable number of direct disciples are actually pure swordsmen with the title of Taoist priest. All the Taoist priests practice and study all the Taoist and Immortal Secrets passed down by Xuandu Guan's ancestors are all to assist in swordsmanship.

Chang Taiqing said: "With Chief Deng's character, even if he leaves Ascension City in the future, I believe he will take the initiative to purify himself and leave home. Except for a small group of direct disciples, he will not take away any more sword cultivators."

Chang Taiqing was embarrassed to speak too bluntly. Even if Deng Liang was the chief minister, would he dare to think and do this?

To put it bluntly, even deep down in Chang Taiqing's heart, Deng Liang was still half an outsider, and at the end of the day he could only be regarded as half a hometown swordsman.

Chang Taiqing is like this, let alone an ordinary local swordsman.

Chen Pingan shook his head and said: "Even if Deng Liang takes away a group of local sword cultivators who have taken refuge in Zifu Mountain, these are nothing. I don't care about this. Even if that sect has more sword cultivators and takes over the colorful world, and they are divided and ascended. The fortune of swordsmanship in a part of the city is still not a problem. Deng Liang and the future sects deserve these, and the colorful world is so vast, even if there is one more swordsmanship sect, it happens to be Deng Liang and the Jiudu Mountain. For Feisheng City and Deng Liang, this is actually a good thing."

"I'm just worried that the successor sect leader after Deng Liang and the members of the Ancestral Master Hall will no longer have any close relationship with Feisheng City, but this person thinks that Feisheng City should make concessions to their sect."

In addition to his status as a sword cultivator, Deng Liang is also the master of the first peak of Jiudu Mountain's Suran Peak. He is also a concealed and green-ranked Wei Bianlang, who is responsible for part of Jiudu Mountain's destiny.

Therefore, the existence of Deng Liang itself is an invisible bridge connecting Jiudu Mountain and the colorful world.

In Deng Liang's hands, especially the next time the Colorful World opens and Jiudushan Qi practitioners pour in, within a few years, a large group of Yin spirit ghost cultivators will be able to be trained, maybe in just three to five hundred years , Haoran Jiudu Mountain can become the "authentic" with both the upper sect and the lower sect.

The masters of the Dust Ji Zhai lineage can definitely learn the magical power due to Deng Liang's cultivation qualifications and his close relationship with the three sword cultivators in Shezhou.

Chen Pingan would only turn a blind eye to this matter. Just like Chang Taiqing said, he believed in Deng Liang's character.

Chen Ping'an was just worried that his former fellow sword cultivator of the Yinguan lineage, now the chief minister of Feisheng City, and the future first sect leader of the Jiudu Mountain Sect, would one day fall into an embarrassing situation due to his gradual change in identity, unable to reconcile with him. Feisheng City makes it easy to gather and disperse, and to start and end well.

If we divide the functions and powers according to the yamen of the Yamashita Dynasty, the line of criminal officials is almost equivalent to holding the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of War.

The Quanfu lineage is in charge of the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry. The summer palace is equivalent to the Ministry of punishment.

As for the remaining Ministry of Rites, it probably depends on the academy that is about to be built.

Unsurprisingly, Deng Liang would have a pretty good relationship with the "Six Departments of Government" in Feisheng City.

The best case scenario is that the covenant between the two parties is long-term and stable.

The worst outcome is that they become enemies and become enemies.

Pursue the former and avoid the latter.

Once Deng Liang chooses to practice pure cultivation in the future, such as pursuing an Ascension Realm, and the Jiudu Mountain Sect will intensify due to a conflict with Ascension City, get out of control, and eventually turn to Bai Yujing and other forces?

Wang Xinshui was a little confused. This kind of thing is at least the worst case scenario after hundreds of years. Although people have short-term worries, it is still very abrupt in the series of words Mr. Yinguan said today.

Chen Pingan quickly gave that reason.

"Ascension City does not need submissive pawns. Ascension City needs a large group of true allies."

"The entire colorful world is watching every move of Feisheng City."

"For example, Feisheng City is like a great river. If the water is turbulent and unpredictable, there will be fewer people building the city next to the water. If the water is gentle and droughts and floods ensure harvest, there will be more people building the city next to the water."

"The robbing of people I mentioned earlier was not only necessary to seek immediate benefits for Feisheng City and Summer Palace, but also to show off to the colorful world. After the Jiazi Agreement expired, those farm Qi practitioners , with the support of Ascension City, their respective forces can thrive, that is... in the lower places."

Chen Pingan stretched out a palm, placed it on the desk, and then raised it, "Then Deng Liang's next sect was established at a high place."

"We have one high and one low, and if Ascending City is properly handled, the relationship will be harmonious, and people's hearts will be stable. In the future, the entire colorful world will have a different perspective and mentality when looking at the Great Wall of Sword Qi."

"This is the entire Ascension City."

Chen Ping'an twisted his wrist, drew a big circle, and then drew a small circle, "This is the sword cultivator of the Summer Palace Yinguan."

Then he put his fingers together and lightly tapped the center of the circle, "Ourselves, our personal selfishness."

Finally, Chen Ping'an drew the largest circle, "If possible, when considering problems in the future, we should also think about the entire colorful world."

"If there is no conflict between the four great and small things, this is the great road."

"The sun rises and the moon sets, the stars shift, the swordsman passes the sword, the journey of the great road."

Chang Taiqing nodded gently.

Luo Zhenyi was stunned.

Wang Xinshui was silent for a moment, and then exclaimed: "The vision is so high, the mind is so grand, but the truth is explained in such a profound and simple way, we are the only ones who do not think secondarily!"

Lord Yin Guan kept a straight face and said nothing.

Leader Guo from a certain hilltop was absent, and the other three losers were also absent. Wang Xinshui felt a little embarrassed for a while, and Fan Dache really didn't know how to compliment him at all.

Chen Pingan smiled and said: "If I don't speak, I will be in silence for at least half an hour."

Wang Xinshui chuckled.

I turned my head and looked at the warm sun outside the lobby. It was particularly heart-warming today.

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "To be honest, not only our summer palace, but also the other branches of the Xingguan Quan Mansion have done very well."

"Just talking about Qi Shou's lineage as a criminal officer, even if I want to deliberately pick on him, it's very difficult."

Chen Ping'an found that after he finished saying this, Fan Dache and the others had strange looks in their eyes.

Chen Ping'an could only clarify: "There is no hidden meaning in the words."

Wang Xinshui immediately said: "Guan Yin has the final say!"

Let’s talk about the warrior lineage of Hiding Han Palace. Qi Shou knew that the twister was very close to the Yinguan lineage, so he still spared no effort to cultivate those warriors, and specially arranged for two Jindan realm sword cultivators, as well as several Xing Xing practitioners to join him. The military monks of the official line would regularly go to Hidden Han Palace to "feed swords" and "feed moves" to help young warriors who don't have many opportunities to fight for the time being and try to increase their actual combat experience.

Chen Pingan took out a close object from his sleeve, threw it to Wang Xinshui, and said: "It contains all kinds of official history books and local county chronicles about the old mountains and rivers of Tongyezhou. I didn't have time to sort them all out, so I just wrote two temporarily. Booklets similar to bibliographies, as well as a booklet dedicated to recording precautions, are all kept here in the summer palace, but the execution officer can make a copy of them. If you find it troublesome, you will have to run away. You can come to us in the future. Borrowing books here to read is convenient for the four major vassal cities of Feisheng City and verifying the identity, birthplace and mountain genealogy of the foreign monks. By the way, please remember to return the things close to me."

Wang Xinshui caught the nearby object that had been lifted from the prohibition of landscapes and glanced at the scene inside. It was a veritable small mountain of books. He couldn't help but be shocked and said: "So many books?!"

Even if some mountain magic is used to copy or engrave books, it is definitely a real and huge project.

Chen Pingan said with a smile: "My brother Qi must be busy judging the gentleman's belly with a villain's heart at the moment, and feel ashamed for him."

When Chen Pingan stood up, the three sword cultivators stood up together, followed Lord Yin Guan across the threshold and walked out of the lobby.

Chen Ping'an stopped at the top of the steps, holding his sleeves with his hands, raised his head, squinted at the sun, and said softly: "Some people are working hard. If we accidentally find a 'case', then they must be careful." Be more careful.”

"For example, if Bai Yujing has done something wrong and we find conclusive evidence, then for hundreds of thousands of years in the future, Bai Yujing's Taoist monks will not be allowed to enter the colorful world."

"Then next time the door opens, I will take the lead in blocking it."

By the time the door opens next time, I believe that I will at least be able to regain my peak strength, return to the Jade Pu Realm, and return to the true level of the martial arts realm. I can catch and fight against each other, and defeat the Bai Yujing Immortal.

Walking down the steps, Chen Ping'an walked side by side with Fan Dache and Wang Xinshui, casually strolling around the many offices of the Summer Palace.

Chen Pingan only entered the archives room. As for other places, he stood at the door and took a look.

The person in charge here is a young man named Huai Congzhi. He is only fourteen years old and is already a sea-viewing realm swordsman.

In the early days of the Sword Qi Great Wall, he wouldn't be considered a genius, but don't forget that the boy followed Feisheng City to the Colorful World when he was young. He broke through the realm so quickly, in Chen Ping'an's opinion, it was considered a miracle.

Therefore, Chen Ping'an was very curious about why the young man chose the archives room. Logically speaking, it would not be difficult to go to the Supervision and Investigation Departments, which have the highest thresholds. After hearing Lord Yin Guan's inquiry, Huaicongzhi smiled shyly and said only that he like reading.

Chen Ping'an did not inquire further. From the "Yu" space on the "East" bookshelf in the house, he pulled out a "B" and "Qi" secret booklet recording Bai Yujing's power.

I casually browsed through it, and found that in the easternmost part of the world, purple energy rises, and the Taoist charm between heaven and earth is rich. They are all Taoist forces from Qingming Tianxia. Of course, Bai Yujing is the leader, followed closely by Xuandu Temple and Suichu Palace. On the inner few hills, and further back, there are some Taoist sects with the prefix "Ordinary Sect", and finally there are the small sects or casual cultivators, with clearly defined steps.

In accordance with the old practice of summer palaces, Feisheng City specially compiled two files, the first and the second, to record all the sects in the world and the monks of the Upper Five Realms and Earth Immortals respectively.

As the two volumes continue to thicken, the contents of the archives gradually increase, which means that a new world becomes more and more muscular and full of flesh and blood.

It's just that these two top-secret files will not be placed in the summer palace, but in the Ancestral Hall of Feisheng City.

Chen Ping'an opened a page of the book and put his fingers against a note sandwiched between the pages. Different from the previous black and white writing on the paper, this entry was written in red letters with a vermilion pen. It was obviously a more important annotation. He turned to look at the person standing next to him. The young man smiled and said, "Cong Zhi, is this your own opinion?"

The young man nodded vigorously.

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "Similar opinions, if it is not particularly urgent matters, can be compiled slowly. When thirty or fifty items have been gathered, they can be handed over to Luo Zhenyi or Fan Dache for a look. If possible, they can form a basis for our archives room. With some kind of rules, when there are more people in the future, there will be less confusion. With a rules-based charter, colleagues who will enter the archives room later can follow the steps. You, the leader, will also save a lot of effort. "

The young man nodded vigorously and silently remembered it.

"Cong Zhi, you must know that you are the first chief of the archives room of our summer palace. In addition to the daily affairs at hand, you cannot be careless. You also have to think more about how to pave the way for future generations."

A boy is still a chicken pecking at rice.

"Cong Zhi, do you know that the top leader of a government office, besides setting an example and conscientiously doing his job, what else should he pay attention to?"

This time the boy finally didn't nod, but looked confused.

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "It's not too much. We need to have clear boundaries with the various departments and offices, so that we don't interfere with each other, and we can't meddle in other matters 'outside the house'."

"But there is a threshold for this truth. It will only be used in the summer palace many years later. So now you can take the time to read a few more miscellaneous books. Learn more about the changes in the yamen of some secular dynasties in history. The phenomenon of officialdom and the rule of subordinate staff, and why the more the imperial court is abolished, the more agencies it ends up becoming, which eventually leads to bloat. The more various yamen there are, the lower the efficiency of work. It seems that everyone is busy every day, but when it comes to real If you want to advance an initiative, it will only be extremely slow.”

Today's archives room does have a special meaning for Chen Pingan. After all, all the secret files and books that were moved from the cold palace to the summer palace were sorted out by Chen Pingan alone. It's not a simple and easy thing. So here, Chen Ping'an will naturally be a little extra close to him.

Huai Congzhi nodded and said, "Remember!"

After Chen Pingan left.

Wang Xinshui deliberately slowed down and suddenly slapped Huaicongzhi on the head, lowering his voice and laughing and scolding: "What a coward, after finally meeting Mr. Yinguan, don't you know how to seize the opportunity to chat more quickly? "

Wang Xinshui pinched the young man's ears, "Do you know that our Lord Yin Guan only entered the threshold of your archives room? Ah?! Don't say that you are messing with me in the future."

Lord Yin Guan said that you should beat someone as early as possible.

Especially those young geniuses, maybe they will become sword immortals in a hundred or hundreds of years.

Huaicongzhi tilted his head, stood on tiptoes, chuckled, and quietly spread his hands toward Wang Xinshui.

It turned out that the boy's palms were covered in sweat.

Even if I open my mouth to speak, I will definitely stutter, so let me tell you what to say.

Wang Xinshui asked with a smile: "What do you want to say?"

The young man whispered: "It would be better for him to be a hidden official."

As for Ning Yao, who temporarily holds the post of hidden official, he just needs to be the city lord whom everyone expects.

Wang Xinshui knew something was wrong and immediately covered the young man's mouth.

Sure enough, on the other side of the door, a man in green shirt reappeared with a smile on his face.

Huai Congzhi was immediately dumbfounded.

Fortunately, Mr. Yin Guan smiled and said: "It's okay. The young man has no taboos in his words. It is a good thing to dare to think, speak, do and act. Wang Xinshui's management is good, which is memorable."

Wang Xinshui said categorically: "Master Yin Guan, I'll tell you the truth, I am also a green young man who is as green as green!"

Luo Zhenyi and Chang Taiqing chose another corridor and prepared to return to their respective government offices to handle official business.

"When I mentioned Chief Deng earlier, were you worried at first that Lord Yin Guan would tear down the bridge when Deng Liang crossed the river and abandon it after using it?"

Chang Taiqing asked from the bottom of his heart: "We were relieved when we found out that this was not the case, but that we needed to keep building roads and bridges for Deng Liang and his subordinate sects?"

Luo Zhenyi remained silent.

Chang Taiqing said with a smile: "Even if this is the case, there is no need to feel disappointed about what Lord Yin Guan did. After all, he is devoted to flying to the city towards us, seeking his political affairs in his position, and practicing in the officialdom. There cannot be only Qingfeng in the officialdom." Bright moon."

Luo Zhenyi nodded, still saying nothing.

Chang Taiqing finally managed to swallow the words that came to his lips.

There is no need to be harsh on Mr. Yin Guan, but it is normal for you to be disappointed with Chen Ping'an.

Chang Taiqing was very glad that he held back, otherwise he would have been held in vengeance by Luo Zhenyi for a long time.

In the other corridor, after Chen Pingan walked around the government offices, he went to Wang Xinshui's room to sit for a while, and then left with Fan Dache.

Fan Dache hesitated for a moment, then told the truth, "Master Yin Guan, if you come a few years later, I might have to leave the summer palace on my own initiative. I always feel that I can't be of much help, so I think the only thing I can do is to make room." The position is given to someone else. In your words, it means squatting in a manhole, drinking, eating and sleeping, but not shitting."

"I didn't say that, did I?"

"Yes. I remember very clearly that when we were drinking in the shop, both Chen Sanqiu and Dong Huafu were there."

"Da Che, you speak so uprightly, you can't blame others for saying that you entered the summer palace through the back door."

Fan Dache laughed.

"Da Che, believe me, the summer palace needs smart people, but it also needs silent people. Over time, you can see people's hearts. You have to believe that they will see it, and you must believe that you can do it."

Chen Pingan said softly: "The real strong man not only has impressive feats, but also has unremitting and subtle efforts."

Even in the end, we are still not known by others, and we are not understood even if we know it, but at least we know that we have done something for this world.

But Chen Ping'an didn't say this.

————

Tuoyue City, one of the four vassal cities, like Wukui City, is also a city under the name of the Xingguan lineage.

The current city lord is Pu Yu and deputy city director Yi. Both of them are Jindan realm sword cultivators. They were the young geniuses of the Sword Qi Great Wall and are naturally members of the Ancestral Hall of Feisheng City.

These two people were the sword cultivators who blocked Chen Ping'an back then. However, Ren Yi, who was responsible for guarding the first level at that time, was still at the Dragon Gate level. Ren Yi broke through the realm and formed elixirs after landing in Feisheng City. On the other hand, the city lord Pu Yu , because he was seriously injured, and his natal flying sword "Rain Curtain" was seriously damaged, which made it very likely that Pu Yu would have difficulty breaking through the bottleneck of the Golden Core Realm in this life. This is also one of the reasons why Pu Yu serves as the leader of Tuoyue City. Ren Yi, a good friend who does not want to achieve greater success on the road, is too distracted by worldly affairs.

In the early years of the Great Sword Qi Wall, they were all saved by an "old sword cultivator" with a strange face in a fierce battle outside the city.

On the battlefield, there once was an "old sword cultivator" who suddenly appeared. During this period, he passed by a battlefield. He handed the sword skillfully and struck ruthlessly. He happened to save a group of young sword cultivators including Pu Yu and Ren Yi.

The fight was "dangerous" and he claimed to be a "lucky small victory".

Although the other party did not have a self-registered number, Pu Yu guessed the identity of the other party at that time. He must be the young hidden official who is best at picking up leaks.

"South Shou Chen, Bei Yin Guan", these two rival sword cultivators were not given this title in vain.

Both sides are treacherous, thieves, and insidious.

Today, in the meeting hall of Tuoyue City, in addition to the two city lords, the first and second lords, there are also the criminal officer Qi Shou and Shui Yu, who was born in the dustpan Zhai lineage. The group of people are circulating the pile of papers.

In addition to the four sword cultivators of similar age, there is also an old Yuanying.

Shuiyu shook the paper in his hand and said with a smile: "What a strange name."

The pseudonym is Dou Yi. Yi is indeed a very uncommon word.

Pu Yu said with a smile: "The word "yi" means governance and stability. If you add the word "yi" to form the word "yi'an", it will also have the meaning of 'peace in the world'."

Since he was doomed to be hopeless, Pu Yu was content to be the city lord. He had accumulated a lot of miscellaneous books over the years, and he would read them when he had nothing to do. Pu Yu even thought about whether he could become a teacher one day when he was relieved of the burden of the city lord. ?

Qi Shou drank tea silently, feeling a little headache. With that guy's usual virtue, he would definitely find other ways to cause trouble for him.

At the beginning of the seventh year of Jiachun, Feisheng City held the second extremely formal Ancestral Hall meeting.

It was that crucial meeting that truly laid the foundation for Ascension City’s internal division of responsibilities and its external expansion plan.

At that time, there were forty-one chairs in the Patriarch Hall, and six more were added later, but the two chairs under the hanging portraits were always empty.

The two old Nascent Soul Sword Cultivators, who belonged to the Xingguan lineage, came from Taixiang Street and Yuhu Street respectively. They were once vassals of the Chen family and the Nalan family.

Over the years, the two old men have been teaching swordsmanship to young people.

The Xingguan lineage has set up a Sou Shan Division and a Demon Slaying Academy in Feisheng City and Tuoyue City respectively. The two old Yuanyings each sit in one of them, and occasionally leave Feisheng City quietly, all for those who go out to practice. The sword cultivators of the Five Realms secretly protect the way, and this so-called "experience" is not the sightseeing tour of the genealogy monks in the world. It is the so-called experience in the world of mortals. Most of the casualties of the sword cultivators in Feisheng City have appeared. During the training process, in order to open up territory, determine the safety of the route, and explore the treacherous secrets of the mountains and rivers, they encountered some unheard-of weirdness. As a result, several swordsmen who guarded the path fell, and even their bodies were not left. In the end, they all ascended to Chengning. Several upper-level sword cultivators, including Yao, personally went to these dangerous places with their swords.

Just like the Xinguan lineage who went out to practice with the Yinguan lineage sword cultivator this time, the protector behind the scenes was an old Nascent Soul sword cultivator.

In the thousands of years since the Sword Qi Great Wall existed, apart from those sword cultivators who were congenitally restricted by their natal flying swords, there has never been a "weak sword cultivator in a state of paperlessness".

This tradition must not be lost in Feisheng City.

But I have to admit that after leaving the Great Wall of Sword Qi, the speed of all sword cultivators breaking through the realm has become slower and slower.

Of course Ning Yao is an exception.

And the emergence of the youngest generation of sword cultivators is becoming increasingly unable to appear one after another like mushrooms after a rain.

At the same time, the two old men were still in charge of the keys to a Wenjian Tower.

Although the sword cultivators in Feisheng City still have their own masters, a library was built in Feisheng City and named Wenjian Tower.

After Ah Liang's improvement of the Eighteen Stops of Sword Qi, all sword practitioners can now practice it. How much of the essence of divine will can be learned in the end depends on luck.

In addition, the Summer Palace collected and sorted out a large number of Taoist formulas, sword scriptures, and secret books left over by sword cultivators from past dynasties that were originally heavily restricted, and they were all gathered in the heavily guarded Wenjian Tower.

Many swordsmanships that have long since been discontinued have a certain chance of finding "separate generation" disciples.

For example, Tao Wen, Wu Chengpei, Song Caiyun, Yin Chen, and Gao Kui, who wielded a sword for the last time during his lifetime, was a swordfighter with Long Jun, and so on.

There were even two sword immortals, Luo Shan and Zhu An, who betrayed the Yin Guan lineage.

As long as there are records of these sword cultivators' unique sword skills in the summer palace, today's young sword cultivators in Feisheng City are all expected to learn them. However, we do not force future generations of sword cultivators to "recognize their ancestors and return to the clan". Sword cultivators who have mastered this swordsmanship must not deliberately conceal the matter in the process of inheriting the swordsmanship path they have developed. They must state the origin of this inheritance.

The Summer Palace originally compiled a detailed booklet, which roughly stated the inheritance requirements and practice thresholds of a certain line of swordsmanship.

Therefore, if you want to pass on those swordsmanship, there are two requirements. One is that your own flying sword is consistent with the swordsmanship, and the other is that you have sufficient fighting skills. Then, after being confirmed and recognized by the Xingguan and Yinguan lineages, young swordsmen can go to Wenjian Tower. Browse through a certain sword manual and a certain secret book corresponding to practice.

Old Yuanying asked curiously: "Ning Yao was vague about his previous trip to the wild wilderness, only saying that it was Master Yin Guan who started it. But since their group has killed Xuanpu and Tuoyue in Xianhao City, The two mountain culprits are in the Ascension Realm. Could it be that there are two new words engraved on the top of the city?"

In fact, even this old monk only knew that there was a criminal officer named Hao Su in the Sword Qi Great Wall.

Of course it would be very satisfying to break the Immortal Hairpin City into two parts. But for the sword cultivators of the Great Wall of Sword Qi, engraving has been the most important matter since ancient times.

Qi Shou looked at those lines of sight and said helplessly: "Even if I ask, will it be useful? Ning Yao Ming shows he doesn't want to say anything more."

Shuiyu also felt very strange, "Since we have accomplished such a big thing, why not just tell the entire Ascension City? There is no reason to hide it, no matter how hard you think about it."

Pu Yu smiled and joked: "It's just that you can't understand it, so you can't enter the summer palace."

Back then, the three senior brothers from Dustpan Zhai really wanted to enter the summer palace, but it was a pity that Ning Yao did not agree.

Otherwise, today's Yinguan lineage is fully capable of competing with the Xingguan lineage.

Today, there are four sword cultivators in the upper five realms in Feisheng City.

Ascension realm, Ning Yao.

There are no immortals at the moment.

There are three sword cultivators in Yupu Realm, Qi Shou, Gao Yehou and Deng Liang.

There are four people in total in the Nascent Soul Realm.

Two old Yuanying sword cultivators from the line of criminal officials, plus Shezhou from the lineage of Dust Ji Zhai, and Luo Zhenyi from the summer palace.

In fact, at the Chen Mansion on Taixiang Street, there were also Chen Ji and his maid, Chen Hui. The former master and servant, now the master and disciple, are in the Nascent Soul Realm and the Jade Pu Realm respectively.

But no one except Ning Yao knows about this matter yet.

Qi Shou said coldly: "If, I mean if, Chen Ping'an asks us and Quan Mansion each to take out a mountain top and hand it over to the Summer Palace to take care of in the next meeting of the Ancestral Master Hall, will we agree or not?"

Old Yuanying said slowly: "Why?"

Qi Shou said: "What if, what if the person who carved the words happened to be Chen Pingan?"

Old Yuanying immediately said: "Then give it."

Although he is a swordsman in the line of criminal officers, the old man has nothing to hesitate about this kind of thing, he must give it.

Qi Shou nodded, "Of course it is."

Shuiyu gloated and said, "Your Majesty the Criminal Officer, what will you do if Chen Ping'an doesn't leave?"

Qi Shou smiled and said: "The family is well-fed, the years are prosperous, the muscles and bones are healthy, the house is happy, and the gentleman drinks wine, and the joy is endless."

Old Yuanying was confused when he heard this, "What the hell?"

Pu Yu explained with a smile: "It comes from Mr. Kang Jie's "Jingliang Ji", which is also copied on the Jianjianxian Seal Book. It is the margin content of a seal. The bottom seal is 'I am alone and have not reached the four directions', which is also It was Mr. Kang Jie who had an idea when he was studying when he was young. Lao Shao, you and Mr. Kang Jie still have the same surname. You can look up the book later. But what we, the executioner, mean is that fighting with others is endless fun. "

Ren Yi said with a smile: "Thankfully, Lord Yin Guan is not here, otherwise I would have put on a playful expression with a smile on my face right now."

The old Yuanying, surnamed Shao, rubbed the handle of the chair with his palms and curled his lips: "A scholar has a curved intestine, and he can curse people like a flower."

But if Chen Pingan could really engrave a new word on the city wall, the old Yuanying would be willing to go to the wine shop and punish himself with three bowls.

The wine bowl over there isn’t big anyway.

After all, the old Yuanying was the most disapproving of the seal seal. He had complained a lot over the years about all the fancy stuff. If you, a hidden official, had the ability, you should go to the top of the city to carve a character.

I think about drinking but don't want to.

The reason for not wanting to do it is simple: the old man can't save face.

But after careful consideration, the old man still hoped that the young official would actually carve more words.

The Hiding Han Palace, which was originally the private property of the Yinguan lineage, now seems to have become the exclusive territory of the pure warriors of the Xingguan lineage.

It's just that both parties have a tacit understanding about this matter, and neither of them cares about it, and neither of them mentions it.

The only three ancient official positions in the Sword Qi Great Wall are, in addition to the hidden official and the criminal official, there are actually sacrificial officials, but the sacrificial official line has long been lost.

It is rumored that the Winter Hiding Palace was originally the office of the priests. However, the Yinguan lineage received too much attention from Xiao Xun and occupied the abandoned Han Hiding Palace. Anyway, the boss Sword Immortal did not care about it. What to say, over time, the Hiding Han Palace was naturally regarded as the private property of the Yinguan lineage, so that many young swordsmen who didn't like to read the almanac had no idea that there had been any sacrificial officials in the history of their hometown.

The earliest martial arts embryos in the Hidden Han Palace, the first batch of children who entered this place to practice martial arts, have all grown up.

The martial arts line under the jurisdiction of the criminal officials now totals nearly a hundred people, and as time goes by, the number and power will become more and more impressive.

A tall young man with handsome features was alone in the martial arts field today during a break between the two boxing masters, punching like a dragon and roaring into the wind.

There were a lot of big kids squatting next to them, all of them the youngest. If becoming a swordsman depends on whether God will reward you with food or not, otherwise you won't get it if you ask for it, so it is generally accepted that a martial artist should learn boxing as early as possible.

As a master master, Zheng Dafeng comes to Zanghanxing Palace twice a day in the morning and evening to teach and teach boxing, for one and a half hours each.

Jiang Yun punched and boasted at the same time.

"When Yin Guan came here to teach us boxing carefully, I was the only pure martial artist who got the hem of Yin Guan's clothes, so do you understand what my martial arts qualifications are?"

"Actually, Yin Guan once made a special trip to find me in private. He said that among the ten people at that time, I was the most talented, much higher than others, so I had to create a small stove for me so as not to waste my martial arts training. Qualifications, what does it mean to open a small stove, do you know what it means?"

"Look, my grappling technique of grabbing a white blade with bare hands and catching a flying sword at will is the true inheritance of Yin Guan. According to the rules in his hometown, under normal circumstances, if it is not passed down directly, it will never be passed down lightly. Even that Guo I may not even have learned Bamboo Wine, but if I throw a punch now, I will probably be better than the old one, so even if Yin Guan punches me again, I still have to be careful..."

At the edge of the martial arts arena, someone said, "Oh? How careful are you?"

Jiang Yun's ears were sharp and he immediately became unhappy, "Oh what, who doesn't believe it? Stand up!"

The man stood over there and replied with a smile: "I don't believe it."

Jiang Yun rubbed his eyes to make sure he wasn't dazzled, then swallowed secretly, eyes turning rapidly, thinking about how to remedy the situation and escape.

The man smiled and stretched out his hand, "No need to make up for it, come on, practice your skills, just like me helping you open a small stove, so that no one will believe you."

Jiang Yun rubbed his hands carefully and said: "Master Yin Guan, I have missed you all these years. I am not like heartless guys like Xu Gong and Yuan Zaihua. Before I practice boxing every day, I have to say "Master Yin Guan" three times in my heart. Only then will he deliver the first punch filled with divine will."

Forget it if you understand it rationally. Who doesn't know that the second shopkeeper is famous for being "fair and reasonable in business transactions"? I will be moved by that young man!

There was an uproar around the martial arts arena.

Is he really the legendary Yin Guan? !

The problem is that he is not that handsome, tall and mighty.

He looks tall and thin, um, he seems to be similar to the teacher in the school.

Is he really a martial arts master?

Master Zheng said that he once carefully taught Master Yinguan many boxing techniques. Now it seems that it is probably true.

Chen Pingan let go of Jiang Yun's little thorn for the time being, clasped fists with the two foreign warriors who walked quickly towards him and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work."

A man and a woman, both in the golden state, are almost in their sixties, but their faces look younger, in their early forties.

The two warriors said in unison: "I don't dare to take it!"

If they were elsewhere in the colorful world, it would be a trivial matter for them to randomly choose a place to establish a sect.

As for why two martial arts masters who have reached the "Three Realms of God Refining" came to Feisheng City, every family has a sutra that is difficult to recite, and they are fleeing from enemies on the mountain.

What's more, in addition to the identity verification at the Summer Palace, Zheng Dafeng and Nian Xin are also watching, so nothing can go wrong.

Just like before in Wukui City, asking foreigners to fill in their place of origin and resume is a superficial and boring thing, and it is easy to get away with it, but in fact, it is a typical situation where foreigners are loose on the outside and tight on the inside. The more people there are, the easier it will be for Ascension City to verify each other. Once someone is found to have tampered with their identity, deliberately concealed their identity, or falsified their resume, they will have to deal with the twister who is now in charge of a prison.

One can imagine the methods of a sewing man who can make Chen Pingan still fear.

As soon as Chen Ping'an appeared, a group of young martial artists quickly gathered around the martial arts arena, no more, no less, exactly ten people.

Wearing a green shirt and long coat, he turned sideways, flipped his arm at the same time, slapped his hand backward, pressed the face of a young man who was sneaking behind him, pressed it to the ground, and his head bounced three times.

Then he turned around in the air, grabbed the leg of a whip that was swept fiercely, raised his elbow with his right hand, and suddenly dropped it, hitting the young man's heart with an elbow, and the latter fell to the ground with a bang. On the ground, Chen Ping'an picked him up with his toes. The boy rolled dozens of times in the air and collapsed on the ground. He tried to struggle to get up several times but to no avail, and he was vomiting blood.

The girl named Sun Xi hit her with a knee, but Chen Ping'an kicked her hard in the waist. Sun Xi flew out on the spot, bumped into another female martial artist, and fell out together.

In an instant, ten people surrounded and beat each other without even saying hello to each other. Their cooperation was not unscrupulous. In the end, they all fell to the ground and it was too tragic to watch.

Jiang Yun, with a bruised nose and swollen face, sat on the ground, raised his head high, and had a nosebleed.

The tomboy back then, now the big girl, Yuan Zaihua was sitting on the ground, and she punched the ground hard.

Xu Gong from Mumengxiang rubbed his heart and grinned.

Jiang Yun, Xu Gong, Yuan Zaixuan.

The three of them have the best qualifications and the fastest to learn boxing. With the gift of a new world, Jiang Yun has won martial arts three times, and Xu Gong and Yuan Zaihua have won twice each.

In addition, many people have received a martial arts gift.

In fact, this has a lot to do with Ning Yao's breakthrough, especially when she truly secured her position as the number one person in the world, and Feisheng City received some kind of blessing from heaven and earth, the warriors of the Hidden Han Palace lineage,

Of course, these former children did practice martial arts diligently, endured hardships, and never squandered their own talents and external opportunities.

I just have to admit that this kind of martial luck that comes from being "the strongest" in a certain realm is very watery and very watery compared to any other world.

If it is in the vast world, which sect can have nearly ten people who have obtained martial arts luck so intensively, what is it if it is not their own martial arts shop?

Chen Ping'an stood there and said with a smile: "If it's the kind of point-and-shoot discussion, and we join forces to travel to a far-reaching realm, it won't be a big problem."

Practice martial arts and climb high. Don't be anxious.

If the warriors hiding in Hanxing Palace really want to work for Feisheng City, they still need twenty or thirty years of hard work.

By then, with one or two Far Traveling Realm warriors, it will be very safe when traveling, and there will be little need for the protection of the sword cultivator.

If it was a premeditated sneak attack, leaving aside Zheng Dafeng and the two boxing masters, then a Jindan realm swordsman who had been to the battlefield in Ascension City could completely kill Hanxing Palace with one flying sword.

Chen Ping'an moved forward and pulled the young warriors up one by one from near to far, except of course the women. Yin Guan only had to tap his feet lightly and they were able to stand up.

Sun Xi from Yuhu Street has a younger sister named Sun Zao. She left her hometown with a Jinjiazhou female swordsman named Song Pin in her early years.

After she stood up, she asked: "Master Yin Guan, how is Sun Zao doing now? Is he embarrassed?"

Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "She is already a sword cultivator in the sea-viewing realm."

Sun Yu nodded and said: "Let's make do."

In Zhanhan Palace, the people who taught boxing in history were Bai Lianshuang, the old nanny of Ning Mansion, Chen Ping'an, a young hermit official, and Zheng Dafeng, an outsider.

In fact, Chen Ping'an only gives advice occasionally, and is not a master in the strict sense. But for children who are hiding in the cold palace, they don't care about this. If anything happens, they will compare Master Zheng with Master Yinguan.

Chen Ping'an walked to the two Golden Body Realm martial artists and said with a smile: "Master Ma, Master Liu, if possible, you can hit harder with your fists in the future. As for the medicinal materials used to strengthen the muscles and bones, plus three meals a day You can order more medicinal food as appropriate, and don’t have to worry about the reimbursement from Quan Mansion being unable to pass."

Seeing the young hidden official's warm expression and tone of discussion, the two of them were a little surprised, and at the same time a little relaxed.

Today, with Lord Yin Guan speaking personally, I think it will be easier to discuss with Quan Mansion in the future.

Who doesn't know that when it comes to making money, the accounting gentlemen of the Quanfu line almost regard the young hidden official as the first generation ancestor.

The pure warriors of the Hidden Han Palace lineage have been in an embarrassing situation in recent years. First of all, they are like the "bastards" of the criminal lineage. It's not annoying, but it's not something worth boasting about. Quan Mansion won't take any deductions. They only said that the two of them, Master Zheng Dafeng, and three other boxing instructors were given monthly by Quan Mansion. The salary is a lot of money, and everything the children need to practice martial arts and boxing to strengthen their muscles and bones is also distributed in sufficient amount. They are given as much as they can pay for staying in the cold palace, and they never say anything.

Just some trivial words, as well as certain looks and expressions, no one is stupid, they can hear and see clearly.

In addition, martial arts practitioners who are hiding in the Han Palace will inevitably feel that they are dwarfs in Feisheng City, where swordsmen are as good as clouds, and their words and actions will be constrained.

Just like Jiang Yun, who has the best martial arts qualifications, will soon be a golden body martial artist, and is already the mainstay of Hiding Han Palace in the future. If he goes out and meets a sword cultivator of his own age on the road, what will happen in his heart? Do you have any regrets?

Although Jiang Yun still makes noises all year round when he goes outside, the louder a person speaks, the more guilty he feels inside.

Chen Pingan clasped his fists and said goodbye, "I won't delay your boxing lessons."

The female martial artist asked: "Master Chen doesn't teach boxing to children?"

It seems inappropriate to call the other party a hidden official. After all, the current hidden official is Ning Yao.

Since the other party is a mountain top level warrior, it is not an exaggeration to call him a grandmaster or even a senior.

The founder of a sect is the sect, and the person with higher level of martial arts is the master.

These two foreign warriors are no better than the local swordsmen of Jianqi Great Wall. Although they have been teaching boxing here for many years, because they rarely go out, they only have a partial understanding of many of the unique customs of Jianqi Great Wall. There are many rumors and deeds about this last hidden official, which are actually not very understandable. Just like the female martial artist named Liu, she really wonders why Jiang Yun and others, whenever they talk about Chen Yinguan, they can't get around the three boxing matches with Cao Ci. They obviously lost three times in a row, but they can still talk about it so happily. Even when talking about boxing with Yu Xuanfu, he almost never talked about how the young master punched hard. Instead, he only talked about being knocked down by one punch from Yu Xuanfu. Not only Jiang Yun, but almost everyone was very happy.

Chen Pingan shook his head and smiled: "No."

The burly man named Ma asked cautiously: "After Grandmaster Chen returned to his hometown, did he ever challenge Cao Ci again?"

Chen Pingan nodded and said: "I once had a boxing match, but I still lost."

It's not strange for the man, but it's strange that he won against Cao Ci.

The woman couldn't help but ask: "May I ask Master Chen, what state is Cao Ci in now?"

It is obvious that she is an admirer of Cao Ci.

Chen Ping'an said: "When I asked Cao Ci about boxing, he was at the level of returning to his true state."

The woman's eyes were complicated, but she quickly and skillfully hid them.

Chen Ping'an knew what she was thinking, and he probably felt that a mountain-level martial artist was overestimating his abilities by boxing with Cao Ci, a man who had returned to his true form.

But Chen Ping'an didn't explain anything.

When the two Golden Body martial artists resumed their martial arts training, Chen Ping'an just stopped for a moment at the edge of the martial arts arena, and soon left silently.

For the two boxing masters, once the man in green shirt left, they felt relieved.

The first ten people in Hiding Han Palace all saw the young hermit officer giving them a thumbs up before leaving.

After walking out of the gate, Chen Ping'an looked back at the plaque. This palace that once belonged to the lineage of priests to hide from the cold was indeed strange.

To escape the cold? hide?

It is a pity that even in the summer palace, there is no written record of the priest's lineage. It seems that all records were deliberately destroyed.

Chen Ping'an only saw something like an annotation in the blank page of the secret file recording the lineage of the criminal officer. It was the handwriting of Xiao Xun, the former hidden officer. It was crooked and easy to read.

"The physical body of every pure warrior is a pantheon of incense."
