Chapter 261: Chapter 261: Guess the Question

Chapter 261: Chapter 261: Guess the Question"Master, everything is packed."

Su Su, who was wearing a white layered and complicated Luo skirt and had delicate makeup, said in a delicate voice.

Li Miaozhen nodded slightly, opened the sachet tied around her waist, and a vortex-like suction force surged out, sucking more than a dozen ghosts in the general's tent into it. "What a pity, you still can't break through to the fourth level." Su Su sighed and said:

"Otherwise, with the level of the disciples of the Ren Sect, there would be no opponent for you."

"It's not so easy to cultivate the Nascent Soul." Li Miaozhen sighed helplessly.

She has been stuck in the Golden Core Realm for two whole years.

The banditry in Yunzhou has been cleared out. Li Miaozhen cooperated with the local army of Yunzhou and the two Jinluo to attack the mountains and capture the strongholds, flattening the largest strongholds, and there are dozens of small mountain strongholds.

Of course, the banditry in Yunzhou is like a maggot on the heel, multiplying and surviving on this land for hundreds of years, and it is not that it can be wiped out.

After a few years, it will revive and take root.

The current results are the limit of what the local army can do. Yunzhou will be stable for many years, and Li Miaozhen is very satisfied with this result.

Next, she will do her own thing - the battle between heaven and man!

Tianzong and Renzong have to discuss the Dao once every sixty years. Before that, the outstanding disciples of the younger generation of the two sects will collide first to warm up for the battle between heaven and man.

Li Miaozhen is one of the most outstanding figures among this generation of Tianzong disciples. The other is Li Miaozhen's senior brother, who is also a member of the Tiandihui and holds the fragment of the No. 7 Earth Book.

But that guy is in the northeast and lost contact because of whoring.

"It's a pity that the annoying stinky egg died, otherwise he could help me investigate the Su family's extermination case." Su Su suddenly said.

Li Miaozhen looked at Mei, who had grown up with her, and her heart moved. In fact, Su Su's home was not in the capital. Even if that guy wanted to investigate, he couldn't leave the capital and travel thousands of miles to investigate an old case.

Su Su herself understood this truth, but she always talked about it from time to time. It seemed that she regretted the murder of her family, but in fact, she regretted the shameless

man.

So, we should forget about love... Li Miaozhen sighed in her heart.

The death of relatives and friends made us grief-stricken. The lover changed his heart, and resentment was intertwined... The seven emotions and six desires in the world are all karmic fires, otherwise why do we say that love is short-lived.

Only ruthlessness can last forever.

After leaving the military tent with Su Su, more than 400 Feiyan soldiers gathered in the square and waited quietly.

Four hundred soldiers took off their armor together.

Li Miaozhen slowly scanned the soldiers. At this time, some of them changed into casual clothes, some wore coarse linen clothes, some dressed like rich men, and some were ragged like beggars... This was their original appearance.

The Feiyan Army is a ragtag army, with members from all corners of the country, including disciples of the Beggars' Sect; wanderers who travel the world; chivalrous thieves who rob the rich and help the poor, and so on.

They all gathered in Yunzhou and organized into an army because of one person, and that person was called the Feiyan Heroine.

Now that Li Miaozhen is leaving, the army will naturally disband.

After the bandit suppression was over, Yang Chuannan privately approached Li Miaozhen, wanting to incorporate the Feiyan Army into the regular army and train it into Yunzhou's ace army. He hoped that she could persuade the soldiers of the Feiyan Army to stay in Yunzhou.

But no one was willing to stay.

"Over the past year, we have fought side by side, eradicating hundreds of mountain strongholds of all sizes and killing thousands of bandits. Wherever we go, the people can rest and recuperate without fear of banditry. Wherever we go, merchants can trade and support their families. Wherever we go, the light of justice shines down...

"Li Miaozhen thanks all the brothers for their company, but there is no banquet that will never end. The journey to Yunzhou has come to an end. I will continue to move forward, and you should also go home to reunite with your relatives and friends.

"The road of life is long, sometimes bumpy and sometimes smooth, sometimes bitter and sometimes sad and happy. I hope everyone will remember the time in Yunzhou and never forget their original intentions."

At this point, Li Miaozhen looked at the four hundred soldiers, clasped his fists, and said in a sonorous and powerful voice: "Just do good things, don't ask about the future."

The four hundred soldiers clasped their fists, and the voice was like a raging tide:

"Just do good things, don't ask about the future."

This is the Feiyan female hero they are willing to be loyal to and follow.

......

Southern Xinjiang.

The reason why the Gu tribe is called a barbarian tribe is not that they eat raw meat and drink blood, but that they are based on Gu, and their practice system and living habits are in line

with Gu worms.

Only in this way can Gu worms be cultivated and assimilated with Gu.

To put it more appropriately, the development of the Gu tribe is "Gu-oriented", so the level

of civilization cannot be compared with the "human-oriented" Dafeng, Western Regions and Northeast countries.

The gap in civilization is reflected in all aspects, the most obvious of which is culture and architecture.

The Gu tribe still uses ancient pictographic characters. The buildings are mainly yellow mud houses and straw houses, and pottery is used instead of stone tools.

However, the clothes they wear are not much different from those of the people in Dafeng. The Gu tribe in Nanjiang is good at growing mulberry trees and raising silkworms, and the quality of the silk they collect is several times higher than that of Dafeng.

But they are not good at weaving, so they are often bought by merchants in Dafeng at low prices for high-quality silk, or bartered with ready-made cloth.

Boshan is hundreds of miles long and rich in products.

There are countless birds and beasts, herbs and wild fruits in the mountains. At the foot of the mountain is a fertile land with dense rivers, and the base camp of the Li Gu tribe is here.

The Li Gu tribe reclaimed thousands of hectares in this plain. Some tribesmen farmed, some hunted, and bartered with each other to have enough food and clothing.

Mo Sang, carrying an ox-horn bow, returned with a group of men from hunting. Some of them carried wild boars weighing hundreds of kilograms, and some carried colorful pheasants. They returned with a full load.

Mo Sang saw his sister Lina picking vegetables with the women in the fields at the foot of the

mountain.

Lina wore a simple cloth dress, revealing two slender and well-proportioned calves. The climate in southern Xinjiang is hot, and the Dafeng Luo skirt and long sleeves cannot be worn here, so the people of the Gu tribe will cut and modify the Dafeng clothing. The hem of the skirt only reaches the knee, and the sleeves are short to the elbow.

"Lina!"

Mo Sang shouted, and when his sister raised her head, he continued: "Tian Gu Granny sent Xueying to deliver a letter yesterday, asking you to meet her today, why are you still dawdling

here."

Lina was obviously stunned, and then patted her head: "Oh, I forgot, Mo Sang, why didn't you remind me earlier."

Mo Sang heard the men behind him laughing, and the women in the field also laughed.

The air was filled with joy for a while, but Mo Sang felt a little embarrassed and turned back to scold the men: "What are you laughing at?"

On the other side, Lina, wearing soft cloth boots, washed her hands by the stream and planned to go to the Tiangu tribe a hundred miles away.

Seeing this, Mo Sang hurriedly shouted: "The dam of the Tiangu tribe has lost a hole,

remember to help repair it."

"I know!" Lina responded crisply and ran away.

Compared with the Ligu tribe, the Tiangu tribe is more like a county town of the Dafeng

Dynasty. Although it is a bit simple, it has gotten rid of thatched houses and is mainly made of yellow mud houses and brick houses.

The Tiangu tribe is built at the foot of Luoxia Mountain. From the foot of the mountain to the mountainside, there are terraces lined up one after another. There is a dam on the mountain, which suddenly broke yesterday and washed away the terraces.

Lina, who often played in various tribes when she was young, climbed up Luoxia Mountain with ease. After trekking for a long time in the mountains, she saw the collapsed dam. She saw dozens of people from the Tiangu tribe standing on the edge of the reservoir, led by the white-haired Tiangu grandmother.

Lina glanced past them and looked at the reservoir. There was a monster corpse floating on

the water. The monster was more than ten feet long, covered with black scales, with a pointed

head, a slender neck, and thin claws.

Tian Gu Granny noticed Lina and waved to her.

Lina jumped lightly between the rocks and came to Tian Gu Granny, saying in a delicate voice:

"Grandma, what kind of monster is that?"

"Jiao!"

Tian Gu Granny smiled kindly: "I don't know where it came from. It destroyed the dam and

washed away the seedlings that had just been planted in the tribe."

"Oh." seaʀᴄh thё Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

It was the first time Lina saw a Jiao, but she had heard that this monster lived in the densely crisscrossed waters of southern Xinjiang and ran around along underground rivers.

It is said that one of Lina's uncles was eaten by a Jiao While playing in the water. "Please help collect some stones and block the gap as soon as possible." Tian Gu Granny said.

"Okay!"

Lina was the best at hard labor, so she ran away immediately. Less than half an hour later, everyone heard dull footsteps. Looking in the direction of the sound, they saw a "stone mountain" moving slowly.

This stone mountain was more than 20 zhang (60 to 70 meters) high, and it would cause a huge wave if thrown into the reservoir.

The stone mountain was not moved by itself, but was carried by Lina. However, compared with the 20-zhang boulder, it was as small as an ant.

Everyone in the Tian Gu tribe remained calm, as if they had long been accustomed to it.

Among the seven tribes of the Gu tribe, the Li Gu tribe was famous for its strange strength. Lina's father, Longtu, was the real mountain mover. When he fought with Dafeng, he carried a mountain and threw it at the army, killing thousands of people.

The boulder slowly moved to the vicinity of the dam, and then with a bang, Lina put it down.

Everyone stood on the dam and looked down. They saw Lina slowly lower her waist, stand

firmly, and prepare for a few breaths. Suddenly, she roared "Hey Hou" and punched the surface of the boulder.

With a click, spider-web-like cracks appeared on the surface of the boulder and spread rapidly. In an instant, it fell apart and turned into pieces of rubble.

Now, the materials for repairing the dam are available, and the people of the Tiangu tribe don't have to work hard to collect them, which greatly saves time and labor. Leaving the tribe members to repair the dam, Tiangu Granny took Lina down the mountain

and returned to her residence, a courtyard with a patio. Tiangu Granny's daughter-in-law was drying the corpses of Gu worms used as medicine in the yard, and her son was raising Gu worms in the backyard. Tiangu Granny took Lina straight into the house, took out a wooden box from the cabinet, and

opened the box with a "click". Inside lay a white jade-like insect, shaped like a scorpion, with six limbs.

The two black eyes on the top of the head looked a bit cute.

"This is the Seven Deadly Gu refined by Grandma's husband. Before he passed away, the Gu

was only half refined. Grandma spent twenty years to finally complete it." Grandma Tiangu pushed the box to Lina and said:

"Now I'm giving it to you for safekeeping."

"Is it for me?" Lina was a little surprised.

"It's not for you, it's for you to keep. You have to give it to someone with a predestined

relationship in the future."

A string of question marks flashed through Lina's mind.

She didn't understand the direction of the matter at all. Breakthrough was given the Seven Deadly Gu, and she was asked to pass it on to someone with a predestined relationship. Grandma Tiangu closed the box and said, "Do you remember the story of the two thieves that Grandma told you?"

Lina nodded vigorously: "I remember."

At the same time, she thought of No. 3. By the way, No. 3 hadn't sent a message for a long

time, and the Earth Book chat group returned to its previous calm.

"There is a legend in the Tiangu tribe that on the day when the Gu God revives, the entire southern Xinjiang and even the Nine Provinces will become a world of Gu. Although the Gu tribe survives by raising and refining Gu, Gu is just a tool, and we are still human." Tiangu Granny's eyes revealed a complex look: "This is not a legend, it is the doomsday deduced by the Tiangu tribe from generation to generation. In order to glimpse this future, many predecessors have suffered backlash from the secrets of heaven.

"In order to keep the Gu God sleeping, twenty years ago, the old man thought of a way. He

wanted to steal something and use it to suppress the Gu God, so that it would sleep for generations.

"So he left Nanjiang and there was no news from then on. Not long after, the natal Gu he left

in the tribe withered, and I knew he was dead."

"What was the stolen thing?" Lina held the wooden box, and curiosity flashed in her blue eyes

like the sea. Tiangu Granny shook her head, patted the back of Lina's hand, and said kindly: "Grandma is old and can't stand the backlash of the secrets of heaven."

Otherwise, why do you say that the secrets of heaven cannot be leaked?

"Last night, I saw the change of fate. That thing is about to be born. Lina, you are also

involved." Tian Gu Granny stared at her with burning eyes.

"Me?"

Lina blinked her blue eyes, wondering how an ordinary child like her could appear in Tian Gu

Granny's "story".

"Go to the capital. You have enough cultivation, but you lack experience. It's just the right opportunity to go to the human world." Tian Gu Granny added:

"I have discussed this with your father, and he agrees."

Go to the capital... Lina looked at the wooden box in her hand and found that she was not too

resistant to such a thing. The first thing that came to her mind was number three, number

one, and Taoist Master Jinlian.

......

At noon, the warm sunshine hung in the sky, and the Xu Mansion was filled with laughter.

Tables of banquets were set up in the courtyard. The tables on the left were for Xu clan

members, and the tables on the right were for Xu Pingzhi and Xu Qian'an's colleagues and old friends.

The county magistrate of Changle County and the quick hands of the police squad were also among them, and of course, the chief constable of the government office, Lü Qing. Unfortunately, Li Yuchun, Song Tingfeng and others were in Yunzhou and could not attend

the banquet.

Xu Pingzhi took Xu Qiyan to toast at each table. Xu Qiyan was just going through the motions,

but when he heard everyone congratulating him and calling him Viscount... he suddenly fell in love with this feeling.

When they arrived at the table of County Magistrate Zhu, the fat and big-eared county

magistrate sighed: "I have a niece, who is 28 years old and looks quite pretty. I originally wanted to marry her to Ning Yan, but now it seems that it is impossible." County Magistrate Zhu's daughter is already married, otherwise she could barely match Xu Qiyan. The niece is not good enough because of her status.

Constable Wang smiled and continued: "Ning Yan is now a Viscount. The only people who can match him are ladies from wealthy families and daughters of rich families."

Everyone laughed.

Lv Qing, who was sitting at the next table, felt very upset and melancholy when she heard this.

Originally, with her status as the chief constable of the government office, it was more than enough for her to be paired with a night watchman. Moreover, they were in the same industry,

which was a match made in heaven.

But after Xu Qi'an was conferred the title and entered the aristocratic class, he certainly could

not marry a female constable as his principal wife, which was against etiquette.

The banquet did not end until 1:30 pm (1:30 pm). Xu Qi'an and Xu Ershu were responsible for

seeing off the guests, and the aunt directed the servants to clean up the mess.

At 3:00 pm, Xu Erlang came back with the servants and maids.

The aunt was worthy of being a biological mother, and she asked the cook to heat up a table of

leftovers from lunch for Erlang.

"Erlang, take a good rest after eating, you have to get up early tomorrow to take the examination in the Imperial Academy." The aunt diligently picked up food for her son.

It was not yet time for dinner, but Xu Erlang had to get up early tomorrow, so he had to eat

and rest early. If he did not sleep well, it would affect tomorrow's examination.

Xu Qian'an was sitting on the side drinking tea, and suddenly asked: "Erlang, what are the subjects of the imperial examination?" While eating, Xu Erlang briefly introduced: "Cewen, classics, poetry." After a pause, he said: "Since the previous emperor, poetry has been removed from the

imperial examination. It was not until the eleventh year of Yuan Jing that Wang Zhenwen entered the cabinet. Under his promotion, poetry returned to the imperial examination." During the two hundred years of the dispute over Confucian orthodoxy, the poetry world weakened and had reached the point of withdrawing from the imperial examination stage. "If big brother takes the imperial examination, at least he can revive the poetry world." Xu Erlang commented objectively. He took a sip of wine, turned to look at his father, and said

faintly:

"Since the end of last year, big brother has become famous in the poetry world, and dad has gradually become famous."

Xu Lingyin was sitting on his knees. Xu Pingzhi, who was teasing his daughter, was stunned,

then showed joy and laughed:

"In fact, big brother is gifted, and his father did not cultivate him much. Such scholars just

like to make a fuss... How do they praise me?"

Xu Xinnian raised the corner of his mouth: "Praise you for not being a son."

"???"

Xu Pingzhi slammed the table in anger: "How can this be absurd? What right do they have to

say that?"

Xu Erlang glanced at his big brother and laughed: "The more poems big brother writes, the

more infamy you will have. Who knows, you may be famous in the future." That night, Xu Pingzhi was so worried that he couldn't sleep.

The aunt scolded, "He's not dead yet, and you're worrying about his reputation hundreds of

years later." "Women's views." Xu Pingzhi snorted, worried: "Erlang has the talent to be the prime minister, and Dalang will also leave a mark in history in the future. When future generations evaluate them, they will praise them. But when it comes to me, there are only four words: not a son of man." The aunt muttered, "At least he will leave a name in history... By the way, I want to tell you something. What if Erlang is sent abroad in the future? Can you find a way to keep him in the capital?" "Don't even think about it. He is a student of Yunlu Academy, and it is inevitable to be sent abroad. I hope it won't be too far away." Xu Pingzhi said helplessly. Students of Yunlu Academy basically have no chance to be the power center of the officialdom

in the capital. Most of them will be assigned to various states, and even if they stay in the

capital, they will only be minor officials.

"Why don't you go talk to Ning Yan? He's a night watchman and knows the princess. He must

have a way." Aunt sat on the bed with legs bent. In the candlelight, her eyebrows were slightly

frowned.

"This is the Ministry of Personnel's business. What does it have to do with night watchmen?"

Xu Pingzhi lowered his voice:

"Night watchmen monitor all officials and are hated by civil officials. Ning Yan's appearance

will only backfire."

Aunt lay down on the bed, hugged the pillow, and frowned.

"Dong Dong Dong..."

Xu Xinnian, who was wearing a white shirt and was about to go to sleep, heard a knock on the

door. He opened the door and saw Xu Qi'an standing outside.

"What do you want to see me for, brother?"

Xu Qi'an looked at his handsome little brother with red lips and white teeth, grinned and said,

"Come here and guess the question."
