Huh ~
The streets of Fuxing are in chaos, and the smoke and dust have not dissipated. When the wind blows, it makes it even more desolate.
Several streets across, the fragrance of tea wafts in a teahouse that is not big or small.
This teahouse is not very good, but there are many regular customers in the past, but at this time, there are only one table of guests in the entire teahouse.
The shopkeeper and the staff served him tremblingly, looking at the six seriously injured guards beside him, and felt really embarrassed and had no sense of security.
The eyes looked into the middle of the hall, with nervousness and fear.
Qiu Zhanyu stood by with expressionless face, pouring tea for Xu Wenji, but he didn't want to pour a glass of water on the other side.
He was still shouting for a fight and killing the other moment, but the next moment, he would sit and drink tea. Not to mention the seriously injured people on the side, he himself could not accept it.
Even if such things are common in the officialdom.
He was like this, Zhao Qingchuan, Bu Lingxu and others were even more frustrated, and some complaints were rolling in his heart and unable to reveal them.
This is aimed at Xu Wenji.
Even the most stable Tang Bailie and Yu Xuan could not understand what this old man wanted to do.
If there is a killer weapon, it will be better to release it directly.
Pansheng waited until they were beaten to death before coming forward.
"Sir, do you like to drink strong tea?"
Ji Longshan naturally would not care about Qiu Zhanyu and the six gates who were facing a great enemy. In his eyes, Xu Wenji was separated by a table:
"Isn't the tea too strong? Isn't it bitter?"
"It's not a question of whether you like it or not, it's just not particular."
Smelling the rich aroma of tea, Xu Wenji nodded slightly and poured a cup for the opposite side:
"The princes and nobles in Kyoto are too particular. If you drink tea, hundreds of people must serve you before and after. Dozens of processes are too complicated and I don't like it."
As he said that, he blew the heat and sipped it.
It is bitter in the mouth, and there is no sweetness.
"Is a sip of tea so luxurious? No matter how complicated it is, it is just a sip of tea."
Jilongshan drank it all in one go, and the hot tea naturally had no burden on him:
"It's just a hard work for the 's servants'."
A glimpse of the whole picture shows that a sip of tea is so luxurious and cumbersome, not to mention anything else.
"I know what you want to say. The extravagant and prosperous trend in Kyoto is not what I want, but I will guide you to the open side to get a knife."
Xu Wenji fell down the teacup:
"It's better not to be good than bringing gold and silver into the underground... Every household hiding gold and silver, and it's not a good thing for the people and the country."
"Maybe."
Ji Longshan sneered, held the tea bowl and said in a deep voice:
"You guys just say something. Don't think about delaying time. He is not that stupid! I only drink three cups of tea!"
"No hurry, no hurry."
Ji Longshan's words were sonorous, but Xu Wenji was tepid and even raised his hand to pour him a second cup of tea:
"I asked you to come, but I just wanted to ask you something. In return, I can also solve your doubts."
"Um?"
Looking at the steaming tea bowl, Ji Longshan's eyes flashed, and he couldn't guess the thoughts of the old man opposite. After thinking about it, he still held back and asked in a deep voice:
"Ji really has some doubts to ask the adults, but he may not answer your doubts. Do you still want to talk about it?"
Xu Wenji nodded and made a petition.
"Although Ji was in seclusion for a long time, he could ask himself that his control over Changliu was considered effective. Where did the elder man know about Ji's traces?"
Jilongshan exhale slowly.
Not many people knew about his departure and going down the mountain.
But Xu Wenji seemed to have known where he would go, not only came to him, but also transferred Zhao Qingchuan and others.
If it weren't for his supernatural powers, he might have been blocked in Fuxing Street.
"Before I came to Qingzhou, I had studied your life. You were born in poverty, but both civil and military affairs have achieved remarkable achievements.
If you don’t mention that you can enter the top martial arts state by becoming a monk halfway through. Even if you have a poor literary journey, you don’t know how to cater to it, and it’s not that you have enough talent and knowledge.
Like a person like you, if you don’t send it, you will be shocking. If you want to send me a letter of war, then naturally, Qingzhou is the first choice.”
Xu Wenji seems to have nothing to hide:
"It is not difficult to guess the nature of human beings to revisit the old place."
"Just guess?"
Ji Longshan frowned slightly, and was very disbelief.
But seeing Xu Wenji's expression is open and a little surprised, he did not confirm again and asked instead:
"The second question, what exactly is the 'gate' the old man mentioned?"
Ji Longshan was careless about this question.
However, Qiu Zhanyu and others on the side changed their expressions and said they could stop them. Zhao Qingchuan even plucked up his strength and shouted in a low voice:
"Sir, don't be fooled!"
Being in hostility, you have to ask about the killer weapon.
Ji Longshan asked casually, and seemed sure that he would not get an answer, but he didn't expect Xu Wenji to answer very calmly:
"You said that piece of yellow paper? It came from the current Minister of Rites 'Qin Feibai'. According to his words, it was called origami into a soldier."
Qin Feibai.
Origami into a soldier?
Ji Longshan narrowed his eyes and judged the truth.
Qiu Zhanyu couldn't help it: "Sir, how can you tell him?"
"After all, it's not a big deal, what's the point?"
Xu Wenji waved his hand.
His voice was not loud. Qiu Zhanyu and others listened, but they couldn't help but feel restless and calmed down.
"Since Qin Dynasty, Taoist fruit has appeared from time to time in three thousand years, and it can be seen in the past dynasties, and perhaps it is not as good as Taoist fruits that have appeared in this dynasty..."
After taking a deep look at Jilong Mountain, Xu Wenji's face was as deep as water:
"The conflict between heaven and man may be one of the reasons for the collapse of the law..."
"The old man was exaggerating. There are millions of reasons for the collapse of the law, because Zhang Ming was incompetent, the noble families were in power, and the landlords and powerful people were bullying the people..."
Ji Longshan sneered, with disappointment and ridicule:
"I didn't expect that at this time, you were still expelling Zhang Ming and the court. Isn't it ridiculous to shirk the incompetence of the emperor, general and minister from the conflict between heaven and man?"
The conflict between heaven and man did not exist at this time. This statement can be traced back to the fall of Qin and the early Han Dynasty.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! I don’t know who proposed it, but it has been widely circulated and has been mentioned by people in later dynasties.
In their mouths, the rise and fall of a dynasty is related to the heaven and earth. Whenever a country is about to die, there will be monsters rampant, and the so-called monsters come from the Tao fruit.
In many dynasties, magical powers were deposed as magical arts, and once discovered, everyone was killed.
"How could I refuse?"
Xu Wenji smiled silently, with inexplicable meaning:
"How can you be sure that what you said is that Zhang Ming is incompetent, the masters are incompetent, and the aristocratic families are in power... There is no such thing as the existence of the 'Dao Fruit' in the many chaos?"
"Um?"
Hearing this, Ji Longshan was shocked.
"What is the conflict between heaven and man? For heaven and earth, everything is a straw dog. If the mountain is too high, it will collapse, and if the valley is too deep, it will be filled. Water flows from high places to low places, and the water level at low places will also become higher...
But humanity is not like this. There is a saying that is very good. Anything that has should be added to him, making him unnecessary; what is not, even what he has to be taken over."
Xu Wenji sighed:
"The fruit of Tao may come from heaven, but the one who holds the master is a human. If you use the human heart to control the way of heaven, you will have all kinds of discomforts, and it will be of great harm to man and heaven.
So, I said, the power of supernatural powers is insufficient. Everything will eventually come at a price."
Speaking of this, the teahouse was already silent, and everyone was quietly chewing Xu Wenji's words, either frowning, confused, or confused.
Seeing this, Xu Wenji paused and continued:
"The reason why the so-called ritual of refining Taoist fruits has all kinds of unreasonableness lies in this. This ritual may not come from heaven, but must not come from man.
If a person has everything in his body, he will lose everything and complete everything. Do you agree with this statement?”
Xu Wenji has explored the Tao fruit.
He had compiled histories in the Danei Library, and naturally saw what was suspected or clearly the owner of the Daoguo in all dynasties.
He is very sure that all the rituals of the Tao fruit are contrary to the human way and towards the heavenly way.
For the way of heaven that exists or does not exist in the dark, this may be His means to balance all kinds of things, but for humans, this is greatly harmful.
Looking around the world, inside and outside the world, there is a mountain that is higher than the people above?
"Heaven and man conflict..."
Ji Longshan's heart was shocked.
This was something he had never heard of, but it made a lot of sense.
It made him feel a little confused for a moment.
"Your way of doing things may be a war, or something else, but you ask yourself, is this so-called ritual really what you think?"
Xu Wenji's expression was slightly dim:
"You and I are human beings after all."
"... Ji can't argue with the boss, but you don't have to expect to convince me."
Ji Longshan's heart was slightly shocked, but he still calmed down, took a deep breath, and said no more. He drank the tea in his cup and asked the last question:
"Nie Wendong, where is it?"
"Nie Wendong..."
Xu Wenji was a little surprised and a little aware.
There are only two types of questions that ordinary people ask, one is straightforward. The first question is what they most urgently want to know.
On the contrary, it is the second type.
In other words, in Ji Longshan's heart, how his whereabouts were leaked, the means that he could threaten him in his hands were not as important as Nie Wendong's whereabouts...
Thinking in his mind, Xu Wenji poured the third cup of tea for him, but did not answer, but asked his own question:
"Is your purpose of going down the mountain really Qingzhou City?"
Um?!
Listen to Xu Wenji's questions.
Qiu Zhanyu, Zhao Qingchuan, Bu Lingxu and others were slightly shocked, and they came back to their senses from their previous thoughts.
I couldn't help but feel a little slandered.
Is it pointless to ask this question?
"Ji said that he may not answer any of your doubts."
Ji Longshan stood up expressionlessly, raised his teacup and drank it all. He didn't see any movement, and he had already arrived outside the teahouse.
A few flashes disappeared from everyone's sight:
"I will come again tomorrow!"
The voice echoed, and the person had gone far away. Until the last word sounded, it seemed that Qingzhou City had already left, and it was so misty that it was inaudible.
It shows his exquisite and profound light skills and internal skills.
"As sure, isn't it..."
Xu Wenji held the teacup and thoughtful.
Jilongshan had no answer.
But he even had the most concern about Nie Wendong, but he turned around and left without asking about the whereabouts of Nie Wendong. This attitude already explained everything.
Qingzhou City is not his ritual to refine Taoist fruits...
But why did he attack Qingzhou again?
"Sir! Is it worthy of your kindness to be so kind to you?"
At this time, Zhao Qingchuan could no longer hold back. He staggered forward and took a step forward, and his anger surged:
"Why, why don't you help me and kill this beast with just one arm?!"
His voice was full of resentment.
Not only him, but the other six masters of the Gate are also the same.
It would be fine if there was no such thing. It was obvious that there were methods, but they were sitting there and watching the four of them be beaten like this. How could they have no complaints?
Even Qiu Zhanyu's face was not good-looking.
With Ji Longshan’s martial arts and magical powers at this time, there was no surprise. Even if he had the means, it would be difficult to work, right?
"Are you blaming me?"
Xu Wenji blew the water vapor lightly and slowly drank tea.
"Don't dare."
Zhao Qingchuan's breathing stagnated and gritted his teeth: "I just want to ask the adults why this is!"
"Do you think I really have the means to take down Jilong Mountain?"
Xu Wenji asked a question.
"ah?"
Zhao Qingchuan and others were stunned.
"Qin Feibai is indeed able to 'shoulder become a soldier', but this person was once overthrown by me. How could the son-in-law of the chief assistant 'Wang Qinglin' ​​give me any means?"
Xu Wenji shook his head and patted the page of yellow paper on the tea table.
The yellow paper with flying swords on it collapsed inch by the speed visible to the naked eye under the gaze of several people, turning into flying smoke and disappearing.
"this……"
Looking at this scene, Zhao Qingchuan and others were stunned, shocked and scared.
Qiu Zhanyu was also shocked.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Xu, who seemed to be holding Ji Longshan, was actually coaxing him, and he really cheated him...
After a while, Yu Xuan, who was the most injured, opened his hoarse voice:
"Yes, but if not, why can you force you to retreat to Jilong Mountain..."
"This yellow paper was discovered when I was working on the books in the Danei Library. It was left by the owner of the Qixuan Sect who had made the rumored "Hundred Steps Flying Sword" four hundred years ago..."
Xu Wenji blew away the dust on the table.
Seven Mystery Gate, a hundred-step flying sword?
Yu Xuan was shocked.
He naturally knew that he had stolen the Qixuan Gate of the Dragon Abyss King's treasure armor some time ago, but he never expected that there was a hundred-step flying sword.
Moreover, a piece of yellow paper left four hundred years ago actually scared Ji Longshan away...
The leader of the Qixuan Sect does not seem to be a martial saint...
Xu Wenji didn't want to say anything more, so he waved his hand and said:
"You guys are very injured, so you should go and heal yourself."
Several people looked at each other and explained that they were frightened.
After a while, with the help of the six door captains, he stood up and left.
The teahouse became quieter for a while.
"Sir..."
Seeing Xu Wenji drinking tea slowly, one pot after another, Qiu Zhanyu couldn't help but smile bitterly:
"You have no choice. How can you resist Jilongshan come again tomorrow?"
"He's gone."
At this time, Xu Wenji breathed a sigh of relief and put down the teacup.
Qiu Zhanyu was confused and looked confused:
"Who? Who left? Jilongshan?"
"Who else can it be?"
Xu Wenji patted his butt and stood up, put down the difference in money, and his voice lowered a lot:
"Of course, it is our chief inspector of the Six Gates of Qingzhou, Fang Qidao, Lord Fang!"
"Fangshita?"
Qiu Zhanyu's breathing became rapid:
"Sir, what do you mean is Fang Qidao, who was on the side before? But why did he..."
"You want to ask him why he didn't take action and watched Zhao Qingchuan and the other four be dead, right?"
Looking at the empty street with no pedestrians, Xu Wenji's expression was complicated and even more indescribable sadness:
"He probably wanted to see if I had any means to get rid of the enemy..."
"He actually..."
Qiu Zhanyu felt cold in his heart, and he felt worried again:
"But you..."
"He can sit and watch..."
Xu Wenji calmed down and walked towards the city tower:
Chapter completed!
