Chapter 274: Working hard at night to cultivate arboriculture

Qi Jingzhi could see clearly that the aura of the red-fire fat fish in Lishan Guangye was clearly in the same vein as red clam and red stove.

Taking the bloodline of the Tongyu family as a guide and feeding on the so-called essence of the sun, heaven and earth should be the foundation of the practice of the Li family of Huntian Si Ji.

As soon as the red-fire fat fish took flight, it swam in the direction of the military stronghold. However, the route did not take the shortest straight line. Instead, it was very winding and turned back and forth several times along the way.

In the military formation below, there were already more than a thousand archers bending their bows and setting arrows. Upon seeing this, they put their arrows back into their quivers.

After a while, the red-fire fat fish finally flew over the gate of the military stronghold, and then hit some kind of invisible barrier, causing ripples in the air that looked like water waves.

Immediately afterwards, there was just a pop sound, and the red fire fat fish's body completely disappeared.

"Let's go."

Lishan Guangye, who was sitting on Liju's back, suddenly spoke, immediately shook the reins and took the lead.

With his leadership, no one in the Zuowu army was interrogated or blocked. Instead, the soldiers guarding outside the military stronghold took the initiative to give way to a road leading directly to the camp gate.

With swords on the road and soldiers guarding them, everyone walked slowly. Among them, Lishan Guangye, because he had to distract himself from two things, rode the horse as if riding a boat, and his body swayed back and forth on the back of Liju. Several times he was almost about to do it. Falling off a horse, but always turning the corner.

Qi Jingzhi and Wei Yingdian rushed forward, each protecting one side of the fat boy.

The young captain and the battalion captain under his command looked at each other and said, "Everyone I met, without exception, respectfully addressed Sizheng of Huntian Division as Duke Lu, but they never mentioned his name. I'll meet you later." It would be bad if we break any taboos. Brother Wei has been in the Ministry of Rites for a long time, so he should know about it, right?"

Wei Yingdian nodded clearly: "Gong Lu is a highly virtuous man who lives in seclusion. Very few people know his name. I just heard that he calls himself 'Yun Fu'. When communicating with official documents from the Ministry of Rites, the seals are also signed with these two characters." Therefore, when mentioned in the Ministry of Rites, most people would respectfully call him 'Yun Gong'."

"Lu Yunfu?" Qi Jingzhi said silently, but he didn't understand the meaning.

Wei Yingdian said: ""Guanzi·Eight Views" says: "Walking in the fields, looking at the cultivation, and taking care of the farming. "

"A plowman is a person who plows the ground and loosens the soil. A plowman is a person who weeds and cultivates the soil."

"Ru Si is taking the nickname 'Yun Fu', maybe it's a sign of self-effacement."

Qi Jingzhi nodded thoughtfully, but in his mind he thought of the "Gong Geng Pu" from the Demon Suppressing Academy.

Before he could think further, as Ban Nu jumped into the camp gate, the light and shadow in front of the young man's eyes changed, turning from day to night in an instant.

The sky is as blue as the sea, and the stars are falling.

A red gold chi dragon that is dozens of feet long is entrenched in the sky, its scales glowing with golden light, its body is wrapped in fire, and it is wandering around a nine-foot-high suspended altar.

The legendary crypt was not visible directly under the altar. Instead, there was a small mound rising upwards at a speed visible to the naked eye, but it was still far away from the altar and the red gold chi dragon in mid-air.

Qi Jingzhi did not look at the inconspicuous hill, nor even paid attention to the simple and lofty altar.

His eyes had long been firmly occupied by the red gold chi dragon, and a memory as vivid as fire and carved by a knife emerged in his heart.

Surrounded by countless monster armies, Marshal Donkey Head threw an eight-treasure red gold spear with all his strength.The spear suddenly turned into a horned dragon with naked golden scales. Accompanied by red flames and golden light, it swung its head and tail and pounced away...

At this moment, a fat fish with red fire fell from above everyone in the Zuowu Army and fell into the mouth of Lishan Guangye, which also completely brought the fat young man back to his senses.

He saw that there seemed to be a look of sadness on the face of the young captain, and he couldn't help but asked in wonder: "What are you thinking, brother?"

Qi Jingzhi came back to his senses, shook his head and whispered: "It's nothing. I just heard about Lu Gong's nickname. I thought I would see a simple elder who worked hard in the fields, but I didn't expect to see a flying tree." Nine layers of red gold chi dragon."

As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful voice came from the mid-air altar: "What happened to Chilong? Chilong can no longer plow the fields?"

"Since Lieutenant Qi was born in a Taoist family, wouldn't he have heard a poem from the Immortal family: Concubine Qin rolls up the curtains at the north window to see the dawn, and plants green tung trees and small phoenixes in front of the window. The prince plays the sheng and the goose piper, and calls the dragon to plow the tobacco and grow yao grass!"

Qi Jingzhi was stunned when he heard this. He immediately jumped off Bannu's back, looked up at the sky and clasped his fists in salute: "Make Lu Gong laugh!"

"The Great Sima and the younger generation's teachers really like the art of poetry and prose, but Qi Jingzhi is uneducated and has never read a few poems since he was born."

"Oh? The disciples of Xianyu Mountain don't like to recite poems? It's really rare!"

Lu Gong was surprised, but his tone was obviously more joyful: "In this case, I, an old man who only knows how to do farm work, don't have to go through all kinds of troubles to prop up my appearance in front of you and other juniors!"

"Haha, I haven't been close to young people for a long time. Come up and pay homage yourself!"

Hearing this, Qi Jingzhi opened his mouth, then turned to look at Lishan Guangye, finally knowing whose temper this guy was following.

Lishan Guangye chuckled: "Lu Gong has always been easy-going, I just want to meet him as an old man. It won't work without some real talent and learning."

Before he finished speaking, the man had already taken out a red stove that looked like a wine cup from his arms, and took off a small wine flask from his waist.

The clear and fragrant wine was poured into Chi Zao, and an extremely pure essence of the sun, heaven and earth was immediately aroused from it. Soon, these essences condensed into a golden and red streamer, heading towards the huge mouth of the red gold dragon. Fly away slowly.

Lishan Guangye threw the small wine bottle to Qi Jingzhi, and he jumped up, pedaling on the golden and red ribbon to gain strength, and in the blink of an eye he jumped up to the northern stone steps of the altar.

"Thank you!"

Qi Jingzhi looked up at Lishan Guangye, clasped his fists and said loudly.

With Fang Lingtai Lang's status, especially his close relationship with Duke Lu, there was no need to waste a precious red stove, but Lishan Guangye did so, which was clearly an example to everyone in the Zuowu Army.

At the same time, his move is also a subtle reminder that those who ascend the altar will get a lot of benefits from Lu Gong, which is at least more precious than a red stove.

So, Qi Jingzhi turned around and looked at the people behind him: "Who wants to give it a try? I will come out of Chi Zao."

Wei Yingdian immediately shook his head: "Wei has his own way, no need for Taoist brother to spend any money."

A dozen or so cavalrymen looked at me and me at you, but in the end only Tong Jiaohai gritted his teeth and stood up.

"Master Qi, my brothers have low cultivation and heavy bodies. I am afraid that they cannot jump into the air with the help of Master Lishan. I still have some confidence, but the treasure is precious..."

Before Tong Jiaohai could finish speaking, Qi Jingzhi had already thrown the small wine bottle and a red stove to him.

No longer paying attention to the surprised captain, a pair of iron wings suddenly appeared from behind the young captain, and immediately fluttered into the air, easily flying to the side of Lishan Guangye.

He turned around and looked down, only to see Wei Yingdian drawing the sword in his hand and flipping it back. Immediately, a strong wind swept up, and the frost blades emerged in the wind, like thousands of white feathers.Immediately afterwards, the captain of the Zuowu Army, wearing a white scholar's robe and green and black rhinoceros armor, jumped up, kicked his feet repeatedly, and climbed up at a rapid speed, which was similar to what Lishan Guangye had done before.

As soon as the wind and frost blade approached the red gold chilong, it immediately disintegrated the ice quickly. Fortunately, it was not far from the altar. Wei Yingdian made a final leap and stood firmly on the stone steps.

The three people stood side by side on the steps, all looking down at Tong Jiaohai.

I saw this team member showing a look of absolute disbelief. He imitated the previous appearance of Lishan Guangye and inspired the red gold ribbon. After retreating for a run-up, he jumped up high, raised his foot and kicked hard, immediately removing the ribbon. It turned into a shapeless red gold haze.

Tong Jiaohai took advantage of his strength and jumped up, but his cultivation was a bit low, and he couldn't be as light and quick as Lishan Guangye and Wei Yingdian.

Seeing that the upward trend was almost over and there was still a long way to go before reaching the stone steps, this guy actually made a bold move that was unexpected by everyone.

He spotted the chi dragon that was swallowing the red gold haze, raised his hands high, and successfully grabbed one of the front paws of the red gold chi dragon!
The red gold chi dragon had not yet reacted, but the fire wrapped around the dragon's claws had already burned towards Tong Jiaohai's palm.

It was only at this moment that everyone suddenly discovered that Tong Jiaohai's hands had been wrapped in thick strips of cloth at some point. The style was obviously torn from his own robe.

Those strips of cloth ignited flames in the blink of an eye, and Tong Jiaohai had already used the power of climbing to jump up again, and once again climbed the stone steps at the bottom of the altar with dangerous risks.

Wei Yingdian chuckled, bent down and pulled Tong Jiaohai up. At the same time, cold wind and frost blades surged out from his palms, extinguishing most of the flames on the opponent's palms.

Qi Jingzhi also smiled, nodded towards Tong Jiaohai, turned around and climbed up the stairs, and soon saw a sturdy figure with a heavy back and a heavy waist.

With his large forehead, protruding forehead, upturned nostrils, buck teeth, thick eyebrows and beard, he really looked like an ugly old man.

This ugly old man stood tall and tall, wearing ordinary linen clothes. He was holding a wooden cane in his right hand, which looked like a carrying pole.

Qi Jingzhi looked around the stage and saw that there was no one else except this ugly old man, so he clasped his fists and saluted: "Qi Jingzhi has met Lu Gong!"

Mr. Lu chuckled, looking even more ugly and with a ferocious smile: "I knew you, a junior, would have this look on your face! Let me judge. With my old man's body, wouldn't it be a waste not to farm?"

Qi Jingzhi observed the words and expressions and saw that the other party's words should come from the sincerity, and he was obviously a person of true temperament. At least based on his eyesight and spiritual awareness at this time, this was indeed the impression.

Qi Jingzhi stopped being secretive and couldn't help laughing and said: "I heard from Lishan Guangye that the Lu family of Lu Gong was after the Tongyu family of Jiang. It was named Lu because of the ancestor's sun-viewing platform. Taiwan, so this is the surname.”

Seeing Duke Lu nodded affirmatively, Qi Jingzhi continued: "Gong Lu is also the Sizheng of the Huntian Division. He must be proficient in the study of astronomy and calendars, especially my Shengjiang's "Dashan Tianqi Calendar". He should sit and lie down on weekdays. On a high platform, you can watch the sun during the day and the stars at night. How can you have the time to bend down in the fields and ponder the knowledge of farming?"

As he said that, the young man pointed at the red gold chi dragon surrounding the altar. In terms of the intensity of the essence of the sun and the earth, the red fire fat fish in the vast fields of Lishan Mountain was really nothing compared to it.

Upon hearing this, Duke Lu immediately raised his head and laughed, his laughter old but powerful: "You old man from the Xianyu Mountain Taoist tradition don't comment much, but Saint Jiang Tongyu studied astronomy and legislation, isn't it just for farming? ?”

"It is recorded in the ancient history of the Jiang clan that during the reign of the Yan Emperor Shennong, millet rained from the sky, and the Shennong plowed the fields and planted it!"

"Our holy ginger lineage starts from the roots, and which one of us is not from a farming background? As the saying goes, we work hard and work hard at night, cultivating arboriculture; our hands and feet are calloused to support our relatives!"

Lu Gong's words were so powerful that Qi Jingzhi couldn't help but be startled, and a thought came to his mind: "I didn't expect that the "Gong Geng Pu" of Da Qi Zhenmo Academy could be traced back to the Yanhuang Shennong clan!"

He immediately bowed and said: "Ignorant boy, I would like to be taught!"

Hearing this, Duke Lu laughed again: "Yes, yes, children can be taught! Today is indeed a good day..."

He paused, then suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed towards Qi Jingzhi: "The sun essence has joined the moonlight, and a bright pearl is coming up!"

Qi Jingzhi suddenly raised his head, but he didn't expect that most of his cultivation details would be revealed by the other party.

The so-called sun essence should refer to the energy of Ruomu Chilu and Qinghua Shaoyang, and maybe Xinzhu Dinghuo also counts. After all, in the legend, Zhujiuyin holds the essence of Dinghuo in his mouth to replace the sun, and Yuehua said Naturally, it is the mystical mirror of heaven and earth.

"The sun and the moon come together to create a pearl?"

Then, Duke Lu grinned and pointed to his bulging chest: "Do not let down the Three Lights and do not let down others. Do not bully the divine way and do not bully the poor. Someone asked me about my cultivation method. I only plant my heart to nourish my body!" "

He paused and then pointed to the red gold chilong outside the altar: "There is no seed in the three acres of my heart. When I plant, I need to use the red dragon to plow it!"

This is to use poetry to express ambition and explain the path. After listening to these sentences, Qi Jingzhi knew that Lu Gong's talent in poetry and poetry was really not very good.

So, he immediately showed admiration: "Gong Lu's state of mind is so wonderful and every word is so precious, it really makes the younger generation look up to him!"

Gong Lu was obviously very pleased with the young man's compliment: "Since today is a good day, and you are indeed a great talent, the old man will just say a few more words and give you guidance for Master Xuandu."

"Hehe, you look very clever, but how come your own spiritual platform has been occupied? If this spreads out, how embarrassing would it be? Isn't the Master of Xuandu Temple trying to clean up the sect?"

Qi Jingzhi grinned and felt a slight toothache.

This ugly old man's voice was too loud, and he actually told the truth. Fortunately, there were no outsiders here, otherwise it would be really embarrassing.

As for whether Master will laugh out loud or knock out Qi Jingzhi's big teeth when he finds out... Hey, it's better not to let her know.

At that moment, I saw Lu Gong waving his big hand in all directions: "Since you are a disciple of Xianyu Mountain, you should not be a layman in astronomy, sacrifice and Shinto. You might as well go around and come back and tell the old man that you have seen something." What."

Qi Jingzhi knew that the other party's request was both guidance and a test.

The Lu family named Jiang takes Tongyu's Guanri Lingtai as his surname, and there happens to be an official position of Lingtai Lang in the Huntian Division. This is definitely not a coincidence. The ugly old man in front of him definitely has profound attainments in Lingtai cultivation that are difficult for others to match!

Therefore, Qi Jingzhi immediately concentrated his attention and walked slowly along the edge of the altar, carefully observing every detail.

Apart from its simple shape, this altar called Gaozi Altar is actually empty and has no special decorations. Only the stone steps to the east are filled with bulging gold and silk.

I remember that Hei Xiaoer Pu Xi once said that when this altar came into being, it was filled with green jade, all wrapped in golden cloth, and spread all the way to the east stone steps. I think these are the things.

Qi Jingzhi walked around in a circle and walked back to Lu Gong, with a look of shame on his face: "This junior is not good at learning. Apart from an empty altar and a pile of green feathers wrapped in gold and silk, he saw nothing else." .”

Unexpectedly, Duke Lu laughed when he heard this, raised the pole-like wooden stick and dropped it heavily on the floor, making a muffled thud: "Hold on! Young man Qi's eyesight is not bad!"

"The old man will ask you again, what are those gold, silk and green jewels used for?"

Qi Jingzhi didn't know why: "Of course it is used for sacrifice..."

He was suddenly stunned, and then asked in disbelief: "What Mr. Lu means is that the monk's spiritual platform is similar to an altar, and it also needs to offer sacrifices?"
