Chapter 73 This is called love

Mirror Profound Realm.

……

"My physical strength has almost recovered, so I will go to the little monk first. I will try not to let you come along this journey of refining my heart in the world of mortals. After all, you are my biggest trump card."

After regaining his strength, Lin Chuan talked to Xiao Zuo, then left the altar, got up and walked towards Chenjiazhuang.

Although he really wanted to take away the Huben army who went to meet Qin Ziyin, General Deng and Qin Ziyin had both seen Xinghe unsheathed, so he didn't want to lose the vest he had just put on.

This trip to the world of mortals and heart training has caused so many twists and turns before reaching the frontier city, from Yuanzhen to the current five hundred tiger army, from killing one person to massacring hundreds of people...

In just a few days, Lin Chuan changed from a boy who couldn't bear to kill to a butcher who killed Yingye.

But he didn't feel uncomfortable at all, just like what the master said, there is no one who can't be killed in this world, as long as his thoughts are clear, the galaxy in his hand is not a butcher's knife.

……

"Brother!"

Xuan Jing who rushed over happened to run into Lin Chuan, seeing that he was still dressed in white and snowy, his heart that had been hanging was finally relieved.

It's just that there was a trace of worry in Xuan Jing's eyes, because although the evil spirit on the senior brother's body has decreased a lot, it has become more pure...

Lin Chuan didn't think much about it. He knew that the civilians in Chenjiazhuang had settled down since he was a little monk, so he took him to the camp of the Huben Army.

Before arriving at the camp, the pungent smell of blood came over.

The soaring blood aura dyed the setting sun red, and the resentment left by all the members cut in half made the camp as silent as a ghost.

Lin Chuan and Xuan Jing walked around the camp for a long time, but they couldn't find any civilians. In the end, the young monk had sharp eyes and found a letter left in the middle of the camp.

[Junior Sister has already sent the civilians to the border city, don't read it, Senior Brother. 】

After reading the message left by Jiang Luo, a smug smile appeared on Lin Chuan's face:
"My junior sister still understands me. What is this called? This is called love."

This means that monks are not allowed to lie, and Xuan Jing doesn't know how to express his current feelings. If Jing Xuan were here, he would have to scold him: "Ai Nima Mahua sells Biqing..."

Fortunately, Xuan Jing has gotten used to Lin Chuan's temperament, and quickly put away his helpless emotions, and said seriously:

"It's not suitable to stay here for a long time. Since Senior Sister Jiang has settled the common people, let's go to the border city first. Liu Zheng is still waiting for us there."

"Junior Sister didn't stay to see me, it must be because she was shy, hehe..."

Lin Chuan smirked twice before responding:

"Let's go, I've been out for a long time, and I haven't even arrived at the border city..."

On the way to the camp, Lin Chuan learned about Liu Zheng from Xuan Jing. Since Qingying can find Sinan for him and ask him to find himself and Xuan Jing, it means that Liu Zheng can be trusted.

Lin Chuan was just curious about how Liu Zheng persuaded Qingying. You must know that he, a cheap teacher, is not a good person to be with...

Xuan'er on Xuan's camera just came out to get some air.Hearing Lin Chuan's silly laughter, he quickly tied a knot for himself in disgust, and returned to the space of spiritual pets. Before leaving, he still didn't forget to complain:
"This is stupid..."

……

On the other side, Jiang Luo took all the civilians to the border guard city, handed them over to the city guards, and set out on the road first.

This time she didn't go with Lin Chuan, not only because Master Wang Chen looked down on Lin Chuan, but because she had a more important thing to do.

And after Lin Chuan and Xuan Jing left, Liu Zheng also followed the little monk's instructions and sent the women to the sect. After finishing these things, the setting sun was about to be submerged by the sea of ​​clouds.

After today, the Promise Sect will be closed.

So Liu Zheng went down the mountain with the three religions and the royal family.

……

It is said that they are disciples of the three religions, but in Buddhism, only those disciples who came through the gate of the void are left. None of the five Buddhist geniuses who entered the secret realm survived, and even the causal line was not left behind.

Not only that, before entering the secret realm, Kong Lu's Tao body was destroyed by Wu Tian, ​​and the Tao body that came after him was full of anger, but had nowhere to vent.

But what made Kong Lu most angry was not the death of the five Tianjiao, but that he knew that the real dragon had been born but failed to get any news.

Before the real dragon was born, the real dragon could be calculated, but after the real dragon was born, the real dragon that symbolized the luck of Kyushu was no longer counted.

In Kong Lu's line of work, it can be said that he lost his wife and lost his army.

In comparison, although Yang Qian of the Confucian School also lost a Taoist body and still has a place in the secret realm, Confucianism has no intention of fighting for the real dragon, and the four Tianjiao also retreated, and the result is much better .

After all, Confucianism emphasizes that everyone is like a dragon, even if a real dragon is born, they will not care.

It's just that this line of business made Wu Tian that old lunatic, Yang Qian was left with only this dao body, so Yang Qian was the first to lead the team down the mountain gate after Patriarch Wuji announced the closure of the sect.

But Daoist Tian, ​​who was the only one who knew the news about the real dragon, remained silent, still maintaining the attitude that it had nothing to do with him.

The old Taoist just wanted to be happy, if the Taoist master hadn't issued a Taoist order, he wouldn't even bother to go down the mountain.

The only thing that hurt the Qin royal family was that General Deng did not dare to attach spiritual consciousness to the belongings of the princes because of the royal family's face. The seventeenth princess was possessed by a succubus, which aroused the hostility of Confucianism.

So the best way right now is to leave as soon as possible, and then make long-term plans.

It's a pity that things backfired. Just as the royal family came down the mountain, Qin Chewen, an adult from a thousand households of the Huben Army, knelt down in front of Qin Wanrong, crying bitterly:

"Princess! Your Excellency, the army is not well managed. The Huben army was attacked by villains and lost [-]% of it!"

Qin Che heard the message brought back by the guards, and repeated it truthfully, but concealed the fact that the government was not strict and allowed the Huben army to sweep up the village.

Hearing this, Deng Guoan and Yonganwei behind him simultaneously had a burst of murderous intent.

This world, after all, is still the world of Great Qin. The ancestor Qin Wusheng has been in power for two thousand years. Except on the battlefield, no monk has ever dared to openly massacre an army. The majesty of the court.

"Your Highness! Your Majesty, Deng Guoan, please order me to fight! Use the head of a thief to show off the might of our Great Qin Kingdom!"

"Your Highness! Ministers, please order to fight! Use the head of a thief to show off the power of our Great Qin!"

Following Deng Guoan kneeling on one knee, all the Yong'an Guards and Huben Army knelt in front of Qin Wanrong.

"allow."

Qin Wanrong frowned, and it took a long while before she uttered the word "Zhun" from under the veil when the last gleam of twilight faded from the setting sun.

Deng Guoan took the order, and took Yonganwei straight to the Huben army camp.

Qin Chewen also sent two hundred Tigers and Ben troops to accompany him, but he left a hundred elite guards beside Qin Wanrong.

It wasn't until the troops left that Qin Chewen knelt down in front of Qin Wanrong again, and sadly talked about Xiao Shizi's evil deeds.

There must be a reason for things to happen. As a royal guard, everything should be done in accordance with the dignity of the royal family, so Qin Chewen didn't dare to report the truth even though he knew that confessing might result in a charge of lax governance.

And his only scheming was not to say it in front of Deng Guoan, so that he could fulfill his due responsibilities while preserving the royal face.

"Death is more than enough!"

Even though she knew that Qin Chewen had tried to speak as tactfully as possible, after listening to his narration, Qin Wanrong still couldn't suppress her anger and reprimanded him sharply.

Qin Ziyin stepped forward and whispered comfortingly:
"Sister, let's go to the frontier city to rest for a while. The ashes of the fourth brother and the starling are still here with the younger brother. It is not suitable to stay here for a long time..."

He knew very well that his sister was not worried because of the hundreds of dead Huben soldiers, but because of the attitude of those soldiers. Deng Guoan, the pillar of the country, had faintly surpassed the royal family in prestige in the army.

That doesn't bode well.

In addition, the Huben army was attacked, the real dragon was born, and Lin Chuan disappeared without a trace. Qin Chewen is also the eldest son of the old prince's family.

Therefore, Qin Wanrong just nodded noncommittally, and took Xiao Shiqi on the phoenix chariot.

Qin Ziyin waved at Qin Chewen who was kneeling on the ground with some disgust, and also got on the dragon chariot.

The roar of the tiger sounded, and a hundred tiger and ben troops guarded the three princes and went to the border city together.

……

Liu Zheng didn't bother to pay attention to the nasty things of the three religions. Although those people were big figures in Kyushu, they had nothing to do with him. What Liu Zheng was most proud of was that he could see himself clearly.

People, only when they see their position clearly, can they make appropriate choices under appropriate circumstances.

For Liu Zheng, it is better to follow Lin Chuan closely now. The four words of self-knowledge were engraved in his bones after he buried his father with his own hands.

So, when Lin Chuan arrived outside the border guard city.

Liu Zheng, who had already prepared the carriage and waited at the gate of the city, immediately greeted him.

"Mr. Lin, Mr. Xuan, hurry up and get in the car. I've already ordered vegetarian food with wine and meat at the Taotie Building."

Lin Chuan nodded with great interest. He remembered that Liu Zheng's moves were extremely dirty during the chaotic battle in Yuntai. In contrast, the current low-browed and pleasing appearance is even more impressive. Take it easy.

Xuan Jing has almost adapted to the status of a scholar, so he did not perform the Buddha ceremony, but just like Lin Chuan, nodded at him and got into the car.

Although the carriage looks ordinary on the outside, Liu Zheng spent a lot of thought on the inside.

As soon as Lin Chuan and Xuan Jing got into the car, they could smell the scent of Anshenxiang, and the seats in the car were also covered with soft bedding.

After the two got into the car, Liu Zheng sat in front of the car and became the driver.

"Mr. Lin, the journey from Shubian City to Pingluan Academy is more than 5300 miles. It needs to pass through Youzhou, Jizhou, and finally arrive at Xuantian City in Zhongzhou.

If you go directly by the empty beast, you need to bypass the Thousand Falcon Forest in Jizhou.

If you take the official road all the way, you only need to detour the Duantou Cliff on the border of Youzhou. Uncle Lu's post in the border city has prepared a good horse for the two young masters.

I also contacted the three caravans that will leave for Xuantian City tomorrow, and the roster of the caravan entourage is here. "

Liu Zheng talked about the situation along the way like a few treasures, and handed Lin Chuan the three prepared rosters by the way.

It has to be said that Liu Zheng did things properly, and all these trivial matters were thought of in front of Lin Chuan.

"Go to eat first, and talk while eating."

After Lin Chuan took the roster, he didn't rush to read it, but put it aside.

Liu Zheng also fell silent in a sensible manner.

All the way without talking, after entering the Taotie Tower, Lin Chuan looked at Liu Zheng with deeper eyes.

In order to conceal his identity, Liu Zheng did not book a Tianzi private room, but chose a private room on the second floor, which was just suitable for Lin Chuan and Xuan Jing's identities as scholars.

And the dishes in the private room are also the favorites of Lin Chuan and Xuan Jing.

In other words, when Liu Zheng had a conflict with them for the first time, he wrote down their favorite dishes.

After the three sat down, Lin Chuan poured Liu Zheng a glass of wine and asked with a smile:

"Which of the three caravans do you think is better?"

Liu Zheng quickly lowered his head and said respectfully:

"It's all up to the young master to decide."

"People, some being too smart is not necessarily a good thing."

Lin Chuan was too lazy to play riddles with him, so he sneered and continued:

"You know that my junior brother and I are here for the purpose of cultivating our hearts in the world of mortals, and it is impossible to go there on an empty beast. If we really want to go to Xuantian City, we can just sit on the Maibahe and go all the way north.

It’s too conspicuous to go on the official road with only the three of us, so I can only choose to go with the caravan. Since you want to follow me, then don’t spend those useless thoughts. Qingying can let you come, and I can naturally let you go back. "

After the words fell, Liu Zheng quickly stood up, bowed and said:

"My lord... I hope you can go with the Hengtong caravan, because the caravan will pass by my hometown, and I want to go to my father's grave to burn incense."

Lin Chuan pondered for two seconds, then smiled and beckoned Liu Zheng to sit down, took Xuan Jing to enjoy the food together, and did not give him any answer.

After the meal, Liu Zheng didn't dare to say much, but just took Lin Chuan and Xuan Jing to the inn next to him. He was sure that Lin Chuan would go with the caravan, but even the guest rooms had been reserved in advance.

After Lin Chuan sent Liu Zheng away, Xuan Jing, who had been silent all along, said:
"Brother, this person is too thoughtful... Do you really want to walk with him on this journey?"

But neither Liu Zheng nor Xuan Jing noticed that there were two blue-gray stars invisible to the naked eye, falling on Liu Zheng's shoulders.

Lin Chuan rubbed Xuan Jing's head, and said nonchalantly:

"The focus of the mind is not a bad thing. As long as you don't play tricks with you and me, you will have a very comfortable life on the road. The world of mortals cultivates the mind, and it doesn't mean that you have to endure hardships to be considered as a mind-cultivator. For you, seeing more people in this world Prosperity is a better choice.”

Xuan Jing nodded thoughtfully:

"So the senior brother will agree to him and go with that Hengtong caravan?"

"Why not, just take this as part of your heart-training in the world of mortals. Junior sister said that when employing people, you should observe their words and actions. What you observe is what they say behind their backs, and what you observe is their private actions."

There was an inexplicable smile on the corner of Lin Chuan's mouth, with spirit and darkness, he was not worried at all that Liu Zheng would make trouble.

No matter how you look at it, it is a good thing to have such a careful housekeeper.
