Chapter 107: Fight for the crossing, fight for the crossing, please come in... The sugar coating is eaten, and the cannonballs are fired back. This was the teacher's teaching. Tao Tie saw it by chance and has always remembered it. Now he doesn't have the ability to fire the shells back directly, so he can only accept the sugar-coated answer helplessly. However, when Miao Zongren and the other nine geniuses looked over because of Cheng Yi's move after he expressed his thoughts, Tao Tie suddenly had an idea. So, in front of Miao Zongren and nine other people, he took out three incense sticks that were as thick as a baby's forearm and as tall as a person, chanted the incense mantra, made a blessing, and chanted the Xuanyun mantra to consecrate them. Three incense sticks ignited spontaneously without fire. "Marshal Zhao and his troops, please enjoy this." Tao Tiexin walked out of the pavilion and appeared quietly when Xinxiang took it out from the storage bag. He greeted politely the 151 soldiers and generals lined up in an orderly manner. Lord Zhao of Shenxiao bowed in return, followed the order, and led his 150 soldiers who were originally from the underworld of Dadong Mountain to enjoy the incense and cultivate themselves.
"you……" Miao Zongren watched this scene and pointed at Tao Tie. He wanted to say something, but swallowed it back, feeling quite helpless, "This..." After talking for a long time, Miao Zongren finally did not say anything unpleasant about the matter. He just looked at Tao Tie with a wry smile and shook his head, then sighed: "You, no wonder Mr. Qiu said that you appear to be cautious on the surface, but you are actually a reckless man at heart." "is it?" Tao Tie responded calmly, then changed the subject, "If Master Miao hadn't told me, I really wouldn't have known about this. But I'll just be reckless, I learned this from my teacher." This sentence kills the topic directly. Who in the three southwestern states doesn’t know that the young swordsman Tao Tie’s teacher is the swordsman Huang Junshi? What's more, Miao Zongren was still serving as the magistrate of Liuxian County at that time. It can even be said that Huang Junshi's sudden rise and Tao Tie's rapid development all happened right under Miao Zongren's nose. His understanding of Huang Junshi and Tao Tie, master and apprentice, was only slightly less than that of Mr. Qiu. So Miao Zongren knew that Tao Tie was not using his teacher as an excuse, but he sincerely believed it. Speaking of recklessness, was it reckless of Huang Junshi to kill the county magistrate of Liuxian County with one sword? Is that just the literature of Liuxian County that was killed? If this is really such a narrow understanding, where would the face of Confucianism be? Thinking of this, Miao Zongren sighed again and decided to pretend that he had not seen the incident. Quickly calming down, Miao Zongren glanced at the other nine geniuses and said solemnly: "I wish you all a safe journey to the capital, and take care of yourself." After saying this, Miao Zongren turned and walked out of the pavilion. The thought comes together and disappears in the blink of an eye.
Among the nine people, only Dong Shou vaguely understood the reasons behind some things. The others were like looking at flowers in the fog, unable to see clearly, let alone understand what Tao Tie and Miao Zongren were talking about vaguely, so they simply did not try to find out. "How about we all travel together? We can have someone to look after us along the way." Yuan Luyao, who was studying at the Cangyun Prefecture School of Literature and also had the title of Jieyuan, took out a folding fan from somewhere, without opening it, and shook it, as if making a casual suggestion. Since the three governors/prefects had previously held a farewell banquet, the geniuses who were being sent off had to give them face and set out overnight. “Cattle and sheep travel in herds, but wild beasts travel alone.” Shan Yi Shan Yunfei, a masculine warrior from Hengyun Prefecture, snorted disdainfully, picked up a Fang Tian Huaji, walked out of the pavilion, and walked into the night towards the direction of the capital. Kun Dao Xuanhua held the jade ruyi in both hands and followed silently. After walking a few steps, he caught up with Shan Yunfei with a graceful figure. Holding the jade ruyi in his left hand, Xuanhua stretched out his slender right hand, accurately grasped Shan Yunfei's ear, twisted it gently, and asked in a crisp voice: "Cattle and sheep? Wild beasts? Walking alone? Are you still okay?" Shan Yunfei leaned sideways awkwardly and begged for mercy: "No, no." "You can not?" Xuanhua dragged out the tone and twisted his ear with more force, obviously dissatisfied with Shan Yunfei's answer, "What should I do if you can't do it?" "Yes! Yes! Yes! We must do it!" There are many traditional Taoist sects, some of which prohibit marriage and some of which allow marriage. There is no doubt that Kun Dao Xuanhua joined a sect that allows marriage, and Shan Yunfei is the Taoist partner she chose. Looking at the behavior of the two people who were walking away in the night, especially the fierce and masculine warrior Shan Yunfei who was twisted his ear by Xuanhua and just begged for mercy without any intention of resisting or avoiding, it can be known that the two of them are very much in love with each other. This bite of dog food was thrown out unexpectedly. The twin sister Shen Qiong curled her lips and muttered angrily: "Showing affection, breaking up..." Shen Qiong stopped muttering halfway. Obviously he thinks cursing is not good. In order to avoid embarrassing herself, Shen Qiong changed her words and said to Yuan Luyao: "Brother Yuan, I will go with you." "it is good." Yuan Luyao nodded and looked at Liu Yuling, "Are you coming too?" "of course." Liu Yuling agreed without hesitation. Monk Yuanjue, who was left behind among the three people from Hengyun Prefecture, took a step forward, put his hands together, chanted a Buddhist name, and said sincerely: "I would like to travel with you three Taoist friends. I hope you will accept me." Lan Ling, the feminine warrior from Lianyunzhou, caught a glimpse of this scene and couldn't help grinning and laughing.
Zhu Cong, a shaman who worshipped the Great Emperor Zhenwu, asked in confusion, "Why are you laughing?" Lan Ling shook his head: "Nothing, nothing." Zhu Cong quickly made a gesture with his hands, and asked again in a friendly manner: "I ask, what are you laughing at?" Lan Ling shuddered, unable to bear Zhu Cong's sarcastic habit, and quickly replied truthfully: "I laugh at the thick skin of the monk. He is trying to get into a circle that he obviously can't fit into." After hearing this, Zhu Cong glared at Lan Ling and said, "You are sick!" He thought Lanling had really found something funny and wanted to listen to it for fun. Is this the result? "gone." Releasing the summoning finger, Zhu Cong neither looked at Yuan Luyao and the others nor at Dong Shou who had suddenly turned into a lively treasure. He said hello to Lanling and started to leave. "Why are you in such a hurry? Wait for me." Lan Ling shouted at Zhu Cong's back, then said hello to Dong Shou, "I'm leaving with Zhu Cong first, you can follow or go separately, it's all fine." After saying this, Lanling took a few big leaps and quickly caught up with Zhu Cong. He opened his right hand and grabbed Zhu Cong's shoulder, scolding him angrily: "You are such a good fellow, you didn't wait for me again." Zhu Cong lowered his shoulders and slid away from Lan Ling's embrace. He jumped away and warned seriously, "Don't have too close contact between you and me. I haven't married or had children yet, and I don't want to be misunderstood." "you……" Lanling was immediately choked by Zhu Cong's sarcastic tone. After a moment, Lanling came out of his choking mood, let out a strange cry, and ran towards Zhu Cong. Don't want to have too close contact? Don’t want to be misunderstood? I want to have close contact with you! I want to be misunderstood! In the long pavilion, Dong Shou had an auntie's smile on his face as he watched his two companions laughing and playing. No matter how talented you are, you are still a young man. It has both high spirits and a naive and childish character. "It's time for me to get on the road too. Fellow Daoist Tao, see you in the capital!" The aunt laughed for a while, Dong Shou stretched, greeted Tao Tie, and then followed him into the night, but chose a different direction. Life is like this. There are very few people who can keep going together. Reunion is just accidental, separation is the norm. Let it go early, adapt early, and cherish it all the time. Yuan Luyao and the other three who were still in the pavilion discussed it quietly, and Yuan Luyao came up with an idea and decided to go straight to the capital of Dianzhou.
Then, using the teleportation array connecting the capital of Dianzhou and the capital, he was directly teleported to the capital. After making up their minds and planning their routes, the four of them left the pavilion. During this time, he didn't even look at Tao Tie again. In fact, from beginning to end, Tao Tie did not pay any attention to the nine geniuses who set out in four groups. He was just concentrating on training his own soldiers and generals. It has to be said that those who wanted to make a fool of him were very generous. The storage bag is filled with incense and spiritual incense of extremely high quality. Lord Zhao of Shenxiao and his one hundred and fifty soldiers were very pleased. After half an hour, the three incense sticks burned out. Before leading 150 soldiers back to the outer talisman, Lord Zhao of Shenxiao bowed to Tao Tie and said bluntly, "Master, today's incense is better than before. I hope it will be like this in the future." The inner-cultivating divine general is a being with awakened spiritual intelligence. He can understand orders, execute tactics, and can speak. But God will rarely speak unless it is necessary. Essentially speaking, the spiritual wisdom of the inner-cultivating general comes from the cultivators. Looking at the empty lawn, Tao Tie pursed his lips, feeling depressed. The incense that Shenxiao Zhao Gong mentioned in the past was purchased, except before he learned the secret of making incense. After that, Tao Tie made it himself. If the incense is made by a novice, the quality will definitely be defective. But it’s not so flawed that it would be despised by the generals, right? Those incense sticks are not defective products. I can only say that this batch of icing is really sweet! call…… After letting out a long sigh, Tao Tie calmed himself down and continued on his way. Unlike the other nine people who used various means to speed up, Tao Tie still chose to walk. Anyway, as long as we arrive in the capital before the time set by the Celestial Empire, it will be fine. Why walk in such a hurry and not appreciate the beautiful scenery along the way? Tao Tiean walked as if he were riding a bicycle, moving slowly. Even in the dark, you can see different scenery. For example, after entering the territory of Dianzhou, you will see completely different topography, landforms, plants, animals, climate and physical properties. With Dadong Mountain, the three southwestern states are mainly composed of mountains, forests, basins and a few plains. Dianzhou is mainly composed of rainforests, mountains, and hills, and has a very developed water system. There are lush trees, flowers and plants, clear streams, ponds and lakes everywhere.
There are many animals that come out at night. Hissing, chirping, and croaking, each sound is pleasant to the ear. Walking from night to dawn, Tao Tie came to his first impression of Dianzhou: it is not suitable for walking at night! If this sentence is applied to the three southwestern states, no matter who it was or is now, even if it is applicable, it is because the escaped ghosts always appear at night. If you walk too much at night, you will encounter ghosts. It is placed in Dianzhou because there are too many animals that roam around at night in Dianzhou. In nature, survival of the fittest prevails and competition is extremely cruel. Tao Tie walked all the way, and in just half the night, he saw no less than five pythons swallowing prey that was much larger than itself, saw jackals tearing apart elks, saw a strange toad croaking and killing countless flying insects, and saw poisonous insects stinging elephants to death... I also saw man-eating grass, thorny trees that killed people with their bite, and beautiful flowers that bewitched the mind and made the beasts fall into depravity... In short, Dianzhou's natural environment is very unique. The people living in Dianzhou must be in a very healthy and optimistic mental state. Otherwise, it will be difficult to survive for a long time. As the sun rose, Tao Tie stopped and did a morning prayer before continuing on his journey. He followed his own heart and walked on the small roads, but he did not avoid the villages along the way. I just don't want to go to a crowded town. If anything happens on the road and the local people are unable to handle it immediately, Tao Tie will always lend a helping hand. As long as the people in trouble don't think he is meddling in their affairs. If runners, inspectors, or ghost messengers from the local government office, the Department of Immortals and Gods, or the City God-Land God underworld arrived, Tao Tie would also hand over the matter very efficiently. He will definitely cooperate where he should. In this way, within just three or five days, the news that Tao Tie, the little swordsman from the three southwestern states and the 99th on the Hidden Dragon List, had come to Dianzhou, as well as his actions in Dianzhou, was discovered by interested people and spread. After the Dengzhen List, Ruyi List, and Qianlong List were published throughout the country, many young cultivators who went to Liuxian County to challenge Tao Tie came from Dianzhou. Among the crowd that gathered behind Tao Tie and asked Tao Tie who was the number one genius at that time, there were many young cultivators from Dianzhou. In order to have some peace and quiet, Tao Tie tried to get rid of these people on the way to Dadong Mountain. The first annual Tianjiao Conference of the Three Southwestern States held at the foot of Guifeng Mountain did not have an audience seat. So, this was the "first time" these monks heard news about Tao Tie after being left behind. And since we are so close, of course we have to meet each other. If the time is right and the conditions are right, it would be wonderful to sit down, have a few drinks, chat, reminisce and discuss the past! There are many people who hold this idea. Some people have pure motives, while others have different thoughts.
Tao Tie was firm in his attitude towards the numerous invitations to dinner that came his way, and he politely declined them all. People are always different. Faced with rejection, Some people expressed their understanding and looked forward to the next opportunity to get together. Some people are thinking, you are a country guy who hasn’t even washed the mud off his legs, why are you putting on airs? In the latter's view, inviting you to dinner is a favor, so stop talking nonsense and just eat it. You are shameless even when given face. Do you think you are so capable? I'm going to kill you. Tao Tie knows this. of course I know. But in order to save himself some trouble, he changed his mind and stopped walking. He ignored the crazy words that always reached his ears and continued to do his own thing. This behavior invisibly hurt the hearts of some people, making them feel even more disrespected. So when Tao Tie was at a ferry, trying to take a boat across the river, he ran into trouble. Perhaps it was someone who greeted the boatmen whom the boatmen could not afford to offend. Seeing Tao Tie walking slowly towards them, without waiting for Tao Tie to speak, the large and small ships moored at the ferry all set sail. He acted as if he would never let Tao Tie get on board. These ships rushed to leave the ferry, and the waterway was naturally affected and became less smooth. The big ships are better and can stay stable. Problems soon arose with the wupeng boats. Several ships capsized in succession. What was even more bizarre was that the experienced boatman, like a landlubber, flapped his arms and sank into the river immediately after a few struggles. Looking at the chaos happening on the river, Tao Tie frowned slightly. There's something wrong with this. It’s not as simple as it seems. (End of this chapter)
