Qingling Punishing Heart

Chapter 336
In the morning light, the Yellow River is rushing eastward, and a lone boat is going upstream.

A young man in yellow shirt stood at the bow of the boat facing the wind, waving a folding fan in his hand, dressed in brocade and jade robes, and looked dignified; beside him stood a village man, dressed in coarse linen and plain, with his head bowed all the time.

Just looking at the appearance of the two, it is difficult to guess that they are cousins, because these two people seem to come from two different worlds no matter how they look.

Looking at the Kunlun Mountains in the distance, the young man in yellow shirt praised loudly: "As the saying goes, it is good to follow the heavens to carry out the Imperial Daoist system, and to lead all directions of Wanxian Town. Kunlun Mountain is worthy of being the ancestral home of teachings!"

"Yes, cousin..." The short and fat village man hid behind the young man in yellow shirt, ashamed to see others, echoed: "This mountain is so beautiful...so high...so wide...so big! "

At this time, Su Ji was sitting on the other side of the bow, looking at the cousins ​​from afar, and couldn't help but think of Yin Jiuyou and Niu Zhu in the past, they even stood in exactly the same position.Mu Lingyu was also on the boat at that time.Many years passed in a blink of an eye, and Su Ji deliberately revisited the old place by boat.

"Cousin..." The short and fat village man showed embarrassment, and said in pure native dialect: "Everyone in the village says I'm stupid and stupid, can I pass that qi... qilin... what kind of test?"

Su Ji was slightly taken aback, presumably what he was going to talk about should be Qilin Yun's trial, so now is the time for Qilin Yun's trial!
Chanjiao selects registered disciples and elders through the Qilinyun test. In the past, at such times, there are many people who want to try it even if they lose their families.

However, along the way today, apart from the two brothers on the boat, Su Ji didn't even see a single person.

The young man in yellow shirt shook his folding fan lightly and said confidently: "In the past, I can assure you that you have no chance. However, the present teaching is not as good as it used to be. Since Emperor Zhou ordered the abolition of teaching, few mortals dare to come Qiuxian asked."

When he heard the words "Abolishing Chanjiao", Su Ji twitched his eyebrows slightly, stood up slowly, walked over and asked, "Brother, just said that the emperor ordered the abolition of Chanjiao, when did this happen?" ?”

Mr. Huang Shirt sized Su Ji up and asked, "Your Excellency is also here to participate in Qilin Yun's exam, right? Why don't you even know about this?"

Su Ji smiled and said, "I would like to hear the details."

Mr. Huangshan explained: "It was three years ago that Chanjiao was abolished. The Emperor Zhou not only cut off the title of 'State Teaching' from Chanjiao, but also strictly prohibited Chanjiao's disciples from entering the territory of Haojing. If the people dare to worship Chanjiao Immortals, all will be killed! The emperor Zhou has recruited troops and horses in the past few years, summoned all kinds of strange people, and from now on in the world, there will be no interception or elucidation of teaching."

The chubby village man asked: "In this case, why did my cousin let me take part in that unicorn test?"

"As the saying goes, the death of a tiger is still alive! A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. It is said that the Twelve Golden Immortals of Chanjiao defeated the formation of ten thousand immortals, and Jiejiao was wiped out, but they still survived for more than 200 years. Now Chanjiao, no matter what, is a hundred times better than Jiejiao at that time. As the saying goes, the centipede is dead but not stiff..."

The short and fat village man was confused, and said at a loss: "Cousin, what do you want to say? I don't understand, can you just say it?"

Young Master Huangshan said: "In short, you must bear in mind that the purpose of coming this time is not to cultivate immortals, but to seek a job to make a fortune. I heard from anecdotes that due to the relationship between the emperor abolishing teachings, The registered disciples of Shanzhen Pavilion have almost left. Now there is a shortage of cooks like you who can cook on the mountain. You can definitely get oil and water by going there now! As the saying goes, don’t miss this opportunity, never miss it!”

The short and fat village man scratched his head and said, "Cousin, I'm not as eloquent as you. I'm a blunt and rude person. My mother said that I was born with a low life and I couldn't be in the elegant hall. You say this Qilin What kind of test, you need to pass the 'literary test' and 'martial test', as well as the 'bai test', but I have no gold and silver, no literary talent, and no kung fu. How can I pass?"

The young man in the yellow shirt pulled his cousin from the bow to the stern, avoiding Su Ji's eyes and ears. After looking around, he took out a pill box from his arms, stuffed it into his cousin's hand secretly, and said in a low voice:
"Don't worry, my cousin has already made arrangements. Yin Jiuyou and Mr. Yin are in charge of this year's Qilinyun examination. As long as you hand over this pill box to Mr. Yin, he will definitely let you pass the Qilinyun examination, and you will be prosperous and rich in the future." , inexhaustible and inexhaustible!"

Although the young man in yellow shirt spoke very softly, Su Ji could still hear him clearly.

The short and fat village man took the pill box, first scratched his head, then nodded, grinning and said: "Cousin, you are so kind to me."

"We brothers, you don't have to be polite. As the saying goes, brotherhood is as strong as wine, as long as a river, as high as a mountain, and as deep as an ocean!"

Hearing Mr. Huangshan's saying on the left and the saying on the right, Su Ji couldn't help but think of a saying: If you don't have anything to show courtesy, you can either rape or steal!

The fish sees the food but not the hook;

People see benefits, not harm.

There will be no good things for no reason in the world. Su Ji has deeply experienced in these years that there are usually other intentions behind being courteous for no reason.This young man in yellow shirt helped bribe Yin Jiuyou to win his cousin's favor and trust, and his motives must not be pure!

Su Ji hated pious people the most in his life, and now there is still some time before the death of his master, since he has nothing to do, he wants to see what secrets this young man in yellow has.

After the boat docked, Su Ji followed the brothers quietly all the way.

The young man in yellow shirt is familiar with the way on the mountain, so he must have often come to the mountain to donate incense.He inquired about Yin Jiuyou's whereabouts everywhere, but all the registered disciples shook their heads in response.

"Mr. Yin is missing?" Mr. Huang Shirt asked in astonishment, "When did it happen?"

A Chuanyin Pavilion disciple shook his head and replied, "I haven't seen him for several days. He left without saying goodbye, and no one knows where he went."

"How long have you been missing?"

"About... two weeks... no... less than two weeks... about eight or nine days..."

Su Ji listened from a distance, feeling something strange.

At this moment, a familiar voice came from behind:
"Benefactor? You're here!"

Su Ji looked back, only to see Yun Yi in snow-white Taoist uniform, greeted him with a smile, and walked over excitedly.

The young man in yellow shirt turned his head and saw Su Ji who was not far behind him, he couldn't help showing a look of guard, and took his cousin away.

After watching them leave, Su Ji turned to Yun Yi and responded, "Next month is the anniversary of Master's death, and I'm here to worship."

Yun Yi excitedly said: "Two days ago, Master Niu was still thinking about you, but you couldn't see each other after retreating. I didn't expect you to come today, it's like a dream!"

"Your leader, how are you doing recently?"

Yun Yi's smiling face suddenly sank, and he shook his head and sighed: "Recently, there are less and less incense, but we are getting more and more busy. Now Qi Linyun is busy selecting talents, but our leader Niu is thinking of selecting a leader. !"

"Select the leader?"

"Lord Niu has been the leader of Chan for these years, and Chai Shouzuo has always been in charge of the affairs of the church. However, Chai Shouzuo has broken through the nine realms of Xuanqing in recent years, and the period of crossing the catastrophe is approaching. The leader of Niu is worried that Chai Shouzuo will be gone in Kunlun Mountains in the future. , A person can't stand alone, so I want to choose someone to replace him and become the master of teaching!"

Yun Yi's words were full of resentment and dissatisfaction towards Niu Zhu.Now that Emperor Zhou's decree to abolish the teaching of teaching is issued, the future of teaching is getting darker and darker.This has to make people hold the leader accountable.

However, Su Ji felt that Niu Zhu should not be blamed for Chanjiao's current situation.

As the leader of Chan, he faced an embarrassing choice many years ago.Those who are not qualified to succeed the leader want to do it but can't do it; those who are qualified to inherit the leader don't want to do it and look down on it.Niu Zhu had no intention of taking over as the leader back then, he just wanted to catch the ducks on the shelves.

Su Ji pondered and said: "At this time, unless a talent turns out to help Chanjiao turn the world around, the Kunlun lineage will inevitably fail. It's a pity that such a rare talent, I'm afraid it's hard to have any appreciation for the current Chanjiao. interest."

Yun Yi looked at Su Ji, smiled and said, "Grandfather, are you interested?"
