Chapter 106 Leaving the Fire Taoist Temple and taking advantage of the road
"Are you anxious to wait?" As soon as Long Xiao saw Zhao Xing, he knew why he was here.
"If I don't leave, my family will be tired of it." Zhao Xing said, "Who can be reluctant to leave for more than a month?"
I had several farewell meals with Lao Sinong.
Zhao Xing was tired of saying goodbye to his family.
You have to tell me whether you can do it or not. Waiting for too long to choose a tune is not a good thing.
If there is any problem with the Shenwei Army and there is no way to transfer him, then Zhao Xing will have to prepare for the assessment of Army Sinong.
There is a fixed assessment time every year, most of which are concentrated in spring. If you miss it, you will have to wait another year.
Based on Zhao Xing's situation, he felt that if he took the exam now, he might not be able to pass it, he would just miss a chance.
After all, his spell perception is already comparable to that of many old eighth-level agricultural practitioners. Most of the four spells of weather and time, and the spells of geography are at the level of eight or nine, and even those of rank seven are rare.
There are also self-created spells!
Compared with the real eighth-grade, Zhao Xing is only inferior to the ranks of Juyuan and Minghun.
Long Xiao said: "The process of traveling across borders is relatively slow, and you have to cross the civil and military system to be transferred, but don't worry, I guarantee it with my life, it will definitely work."
Speaking of this, Zhao Xing also breathed a sigh of relief. As long as things can be done, he doesn't mind waiting a few more days.
"Huuwu~" At this moment, a gust of wind blew outside the door.
Chen Shijie's figure appeared in the lobby.
"No need to wait."
"I'll leave the day after tomorrow."
Long Xiao raised his head and looked over: "Is there any news?"
Chen Shi nodded: "Well, I just received the letter. The Marquis asked us to arrive in Xi'er County on March 2nd."
Long Xiao said: "I'm a bit pressed for time, so I can only rush through the altar of Lihuo Taoist Temple."
Chen Shijie said: "I have already contacted the branch hospital in Dayuan Mansion. The Lihuo Altar will be opened the day after tomorrow. We will use the road to go to Xi'er County."
Long Xiao pointed at Zhao Xing: "What about him?"
Chen Shijie took out a document from his arms and said: "I just took your transfer order from the county government. You have been transferred to the Shenwei Army. However, according to the process, you must first complete training in the military community before you can perform your duties.
.”
Zhao Xing took the document and looked at it. It was a transfer order issued by the military department: "Which cave will I go to?"
Chen Shijie said: "The Shenwei Army's cave station has been changed to another place. There are eight other armies in this cave."
The Shenwei Army ranked 587th in the last martial arts competition of the Military Realm Legion. They did not have a separate Dongtian garrison and had to share it with the other garrison troops.
There are only eight armies, which is still relatively small.
In some places, hundreds of troops share the same cave, which is so crowded just thinking about it.
But there is no way, there are more wolves and less meat.
To enjoy the exclusive land of Cave Heaven, one must be among the top 300 in the martial arts competition of the Military World Legion to be eligible.
Because the cave is not only a training ground, but also has many benefits. Of course, among the garrisoned troops, they can be the first to enjoy the benefits inside.
"If Jinting and Danxia are no longer around, what's the name of the new cave? What's special about it and what benefits can it bring?" Long Xiao asked.
Chen Shijie said: "I don't know the details of Shiyang Cave, and the Marquis didn't mention it in detail in his letter. Anyway, it will arrive in early March, and you will know when you see it."
Shiyang Cave Heaven?
Zhao Xing's heart moved.
Chen Shijie and Long Xiao didn't know the situation in Shiyang Cave, but he did.
"The Shiyang Cave was discovered in the 10th year of Jingxin. It is now the 16th year of Jingxin, which means it has only been discovered for more than five years. It is in the early stages of development and a large amount of area has not yet been explored."
"The Shenwei Army is stationed in Shiyang Cave. I'm afraid it's not just a training ground. It also has to undertake exploration missions. I do know the location of many treasures..."
Zhao Xing controlled his emotions very well this time, and even thought about it for a moment before he could control it.
Ever since he mastered [See Everything], he has paid special attention to these details. You must know that it is very terrifying for high-level experts to cast this spell. Not only can they identify lies, but they can even grasp the psychological activities of low levels.
It's just that he knows something else. If he also knows a newly developed cave like Shiyang Cave, then he can't explain it clearly.
"Then I'll go back and prepare." After Zhao Xing properly expressed his curiosity about Shiyang Cave, he left the Chen Mansion and returned to his home to prepare.
Kangpingfang, Zhaojia.
"The selection and transfer order has been issued. I will set off with Chen Shijie the day after tomorrow to Xi'er County." Zhao Xing mentioned it to his family during lunch.
"Xi'er County..." Zhao Ruide thought for a moment, "it's tens of thousands of miles away from home."
Zhao Xingdao: "Well, it's still in Pinghai Prefecture, but it's in the upper reaches of the Canglan River, and the round trip is more than 40,000 miles."
At that time, Long Xiao traveled through the fire escape from the altar of Lihuo Taoist Temple, and the straight-line distance was 20,000 miles.
If it's by land or water, it's even further.
Now that the location of the Shenwei Army has been changed, the distance may be even further.
"Be careful with everything. If you have time, come back often." Zhao Ruide simply warned him. After all, he had said everything he wanted to say many times this month.
Everyone's mood is relatively calm now.
Zhao Zheng, this little brother, from the beginning was reluctant to leave, "Brother, please don't leave, I will practice martial arts well". Now, he has become disgusted with, "Brother, why don't you leave, don't worry about me practicing martial arts."
"Brother, I can't bear to leave you!" Zhao Zhengdao said, "But my father said that he has ambitions everywhere, so I will definitely miss you!"
"Stop pretending, you're grinning right down to your heels." Zhao Xing pinched his little brother's cheek, "Don't think you can be lazy and not practice martial arts after I leave."
"Father, I hired someone from Zong Shichang. From now on, Zheng'er will go there to practice martial arts every day, so you don't have to worry about it."
Zhao Ruide nodded, Mrs. Cai opened her mouth, but finally said nothing.
Although she was reluctant to let her son endure hardship, she slowly changed her mind after seeing Zhao Xing's success this month.
Who doesn’t want his son to get ahead?
Only Zhao Zheng disagreed with this matter. "No, brother, how could you do this to me? I object!"
"No objection, let's eat!"
"well……"
February twenty-fifth.
Chen Shijie resigned and was temporarily replaced by Xue Wenzhong as the chief officer of the agricultural supervision department.
Chen Shijie's mansion in Gucheng and other family properties were all left to Guiniang, including the Tianyuan Pear Garden.
It was only then that everyone discovered that Chen Shijie still had a crush in Gucheng.
But no one dared to take the idea of Tianyuan Liyuan.
Not only because of the strict laws, but also because Chen Shijie has accumulated a lot of prestige in Gucheng in the past five years.
In addition, Chen Shijie also had connections in the county, so although his family had a lot of money, no one dared to have any bad intentions.
Of course, the most important thing is that Chen Shijie also kept the straw man who used to protect Zhao Xing.
February 26, Mao hour.
Zhao Xing carried the asparagus box on his back and left his home in Kangpingfang.
When we arrived at Chen Mansion, there was already a floating cloud flying boat waiting at the school grounds.
Chen Shijie controlled Liuyun Feizhou to circle Gucheng three times in the dark night, and then went straight to Dayuan Mansion.
Dayuan Mansion, located in the south of Pinghai Prefecture, is also the superior institution of Nanyang County. The prince of the mansion is a third-rank official.
Lihuo Taoist Temple established a branch in the east of Fucheng.
As one of the seventy-two Taoist temples in the Great Zhou Dynasty, Lihuo Taoist Temple only had a branch in Fucheng.
Even so, its branches are spread all over the nineteen states, and its influence can be said to radiate to the entire Zhou Dynasty.
It only took half a day to take the Liuyun Feizhou from Gucheng to Fucheng.
After entering the city, the three of them went straight to the Lihuo Taoyuan branch.
"The predecessor of Lihuo Daoyuan was Lihuo Sect, and our ancestors were also rich, ranking ninth in the Shen Sect."
"After the old sectarian system was broken, Lihuo Sect returned to the Great Zhou Dynasty, no longer considered itself a sect, and changed its name to Lihuo Taoist Academy."
"Taizu was the honorary president of all Taoist academies, and his descendants successively held important positions in various Taoist academies."
"The current vice-president of Lihuo Taoist Academy is 'Ji Changkong', a clan member of the royal family. He is the emperor's cousin and was granted the title of King of Liyang five hundred years ago."
"The president of this branch of Dayuan Mansion, 'Ji Qingshan', is also a member of the royal family, but he is still very young, only two hundred and one years old. He is the great nephew of the emperor."
"Two hundred years old is still young?" Zhao Xing asked pretending to be surprised.
"In the third-level realm, two hundred years old is indeed young." Chen Shijie explained, "In the third-level realm, taking into account the increase in life span and the level of one's own Yuan Gathering, one can live to be five or six hundred years old."
"You've only lived one-third of your life, but don't you think you're still young?"
"That's true."
…………
Lihuo Taoist Temple covers an area of more than 5,000 acres, and there is even Lingshan and Linghu Lake in the Taoist Temple.
The seventy-two Taoist courtyards in Dazhou have a very unique enrollment mechanism. Most of them have Taoist courtyards, which only recruit children under the age of 10.
Moreover, there will be dedicated people patrolling various places for seedlings with good qualifications.
It is also divided into two inner and outer courtyards, both of which are divided into upper and lower courtyards.
In Xuegong academies in various places, those with outstanding performance can be admitted to study at different levels of academies.
At that time, Taizu, in order to make the sect surrender, established the official system for Taoist officials. Anyone who graduated from the 72 Taoist academies could directly go to work as an official in various places. In other words, they would be assigned upon graduation.
In the ancient sectarian system, the relationship between master and disciple is very deep, even more than blood relationship. Son-disciple-son-disciple means that the master treats his disciples like his sons.
A disciple cannot betray his master and join another disciple for the rest of his life.
But today's Taoist temples still pay attention to respecting teachers and Taoism, but the names have changed, and there are only teachers and students.
The teacher does not have to be responsible for the student's personal future, but is only responsible for completing the teaching tasks assigned by the court. The student does not have to just learn the teachings of one teacher, nor does he betray the sect.
Of course, some Taoist temples still retain some ancient customs, and they will recruit teachers and apprentices.
But as long as you don't do anything like "cleaning up the family", killing students if they disobey, and everything is done in accordance with the laws of the Zhou Dynasty, the court will not care about your personal relationship.
…………
The archway of Lihuo Taoist Temple is very tall and grand, and it is also very ancient.
Since vouchers were required for entry and exit, Zhao Xing and Chen Shijie Longxiao were waiting at the entrance to be picked up.
"The teachers of the Taoist Academy are divided into five levels: Master of Baiyi, Master of Preaching, Doctor of Classics, Vice President, and President."
"Master Hou knows a doctor of economics from the Dayuanfu branch. He will send someone to take us in." Long Xiao introduced.
The relationship between the Shenwei Army and the Lihuo Taoist Temple seemed to be pretty good. Not long after, a young man in yellow robe flew out and landed in front of the three of them.
He was holding half a piece of jade pendant, which was the same piece as the half piece in Chen Shijie's hand.
"Are you two Lord Long Xiao Chen Shijie?" the young man in yellow robe asked.
"Exactly."
"The teacher ordered me to pick you up from the Lihuo Altar." The young man in yellow robe looked at Zhao Xing: "Huh? Why is there an extra person? And a cat?"
"He is also a member of my Shenwei Army."
"Can it withstand the way of the True Lord?" The young man in yellow robe looked at Shanmao with some doubts. He was just a student in the Lower House with average eyesight and could not tell Shanmao's rank.
"This is the exotic lynx, grade eight." Chen Shijie explained simply. "Don't worry about it."
The young man in yellow robe nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
"Please three of you follow me."
Away from the Fire God Altar, it is in a mountain depression surrounded by five fiery red hills.
There are fire ponds everywhere in the depression.
When Zhao Xing came near the altar, he felt a sense of heat.
He is no stranger to this place.
Lihuo Altar is a brilliant teleportation circle, which also combines the escape method.
In the era of the Qi Luck Dynasty, ultra-long distance teleportation from the Fire God Altar with low side effects was unique.
Other Taoist temples also have similar methods, but the side effects are ridiculous. In the era when the spiritual energy has not been revived, the price to be borne is too high. Either the cost is extremely high, or the user has a threshold, or it has strong side effects.
In comparison, the conditions for using the Lihuo Altar are very low.
If you travel by the road, however far you travel, you will travel twice as far.
Once you get to the place, you can just count the steps and you can 'return'. It's not too user-friendly.
"We're here." Master Huangpao pointed to a place ahead: "Firepit No. 9 will be opened in two quarters of an hour."
"After it opens for a while, just walk in. I see that this brother has a cat with him. It seems like it's his first time here?"
Zhao Xing nodded: "Yes."
The young man in yellow robe said enthusiastically: "Then let me remind you a few more words. When taking advantage of the road, don't move around casually, and don't try to understand the way of fire. After you go out, return to the road as soon as possible. It is best to complete it within a month, otherwise it will
There are some bad effects.”
"Thank you." Zhao Xing said with cupped hands.
"You're welcome." Master Huangpao said a few words, then said no more, silently waiting for the opening.
Zhao Xing looked around. There were several fire pits burning with red flames. From time to time, people came out of the flames and people went in. However, every time they went in and out, the flames in the fire pits would shrink a lot.
The shrinking flames draw lines and surround the user's body.
While waiting quietly, someone suddenly approached and the voices of several people were heard at the same time.
"Lord Helian, we're here. This is Fire Pond No. 9... Huh? Why is there someone here?"
Zhao Xing turned around and looked over, and saw another young man wearing a yellow robe, leading five people to the waiting area of No. 9 Fire Pond.
Among the five people, two looked like they were in their early forties, wearing armor and military boots. Three of them were younger, two men and one woman, only ninth grade.
Chen Shijie and Long Xiao also noticed this scene. They looked at each other and frowned slightly.
"Friend, what's the matter with you? There are already people in the No. 9 fire pit, why are you still here to lead us?" The young man next to Zhao Xing couldn't help but ask.
"There's no reason." The tall, thin young man opposite said in confusion, "I just checked the fire directory two-quarters of an hour ago. The ninth fire pit goes to Datong Mansion, and it is vacant at the fourth quarter of the hour."
"So have you registered?"
"Well, I should have registered..." The face of the young man in yellow robe opposite changed.
"Impossible. If you registered in the fire register, then I couldn't have registered you a quarter of an hour ago." The young man in yellow robe on our side said, "Friend, you are too careless. Hurry up and take the distinguished guest to find the next suitable one."
It’s time.”
"I'm sorry, Lord Helian, Lord Lei, yes, it was my mistake." The tall and thin young man in yellow robe apologized quickly.
Helian Lie's voice was low: "In addition to No. 9, what other vacancies are there for five people to go to the fire pit of Datong Mansion?"
"It seems, it seems..." The tall and thin boy in yellow robe stammered, obviously not thinking very well.
Huang Pao beside Zhao Xing couldn't stand it anymore and answered for him: "There are also fire pits No. 14, No. 26 and No. 49 that can lead to Datong Mansion for five people."
Helianlie looked over and asked: "When will it be opened?"
The young man thought for a while and said: "The fourteenth fire pit is at Mao hour tomorrow, the twenty-sixth is at noon tomorrow, and the fire pit No. 49 will be the day after tomorrow."
"It's too late." The man named Lei next to Helianlie shook his head and said: "After arriving at Datong Mansion, we have to travel for six hours to reach the entrance of the cave. It will miss the military period."
Helianlie looked at Huangpao beside him: "But there is another way, to temporarily create a passage."
The tall and lanky boy almost burst into tears: "Sir, sir, this, this seems to be impossible..."
Helian Lie immediately laid his eyes on Long Xiao and took out a jade pendant from his arms: "My name is Helian Lie, a brave captain of the Lieyang Army. We have military orders with us and need to rush to Datong Mansion. Please
The three of us will let the five of us pass first. This dragon crystal jade pendant should be used as compensation for the three of us."
Lieyang Army? Long Xiao and Chen Shijie looked at each other.
The Lieyang Army is another garrison in Shiyang Cave Heaven, and its ranking is higher than that of the Divine Power Army.
In terms of rank, Helianlie, the brave captain, was one level higher than them all.
This is not a coincidence, because the assembly orders issued by the military headquarters to the nine garrison troops in Shiyang Cave Sky all have the same date.
In order to avoid trouble, Chen Shijie also reported his family name: "This is Chen Shijie, the commander of the Nine Sections Army of the Shenwei Army, and next to him is Long Xiao, the captain of Yihui."
"Sorry, we also have military orders and need to rush to Datong Mansion as soon as possible."
"Oh, it turns out to be the military order of the Marquis of Boping County." The middle-aged man named Lei next to him suddenly chuckled, "Is the order of the third-class county marquis greater than the order of the Marquis of Wu? The Shenwei Army is performing martial arts in the military realm. We, the martyrs, have
Is Yang Jun ranked high? I think we should go there first! Our military orders are more important!"
"Fuck you, isn't my military order a military order?"
A trace of anger flashed in Long Xiao's eyes, and the scabbard behind him kept trembling.
It's okay to insult him, but it's not okay to insult the Marquis and the Shenwei Army.
At this moment, he wanted to draw his sword and fight this man to the death!
Chen Shijie held down Long Xiao, shook his head slightly, and then said: "You two, please find another way, don't waste your words, otherwise you will only waste your own time."
I wrote all night, but I still haven't finished the third chapter, and my head is a little dazed. I have to publish the two chapters of eleven thousand words first, and I have no choice but to wake up and write the third chapter.
Chapter completed!
