Several men from the Snow Falcon Mercenary Group rode on the horse, and except Ao Run, everyone else had some faces.
Ao Run said to his companion: This is what I call Brother Cheng!Thanks to him when I went to Guangyang this time, I was a friend of life and death with Lao Ao!
The men greeted Cheng Zongyang with their fists.Ao Run said: Everyone, let me talk to Brother Cheng!Don't worry, it won't miss the situation!
Ao Run said as he jumped off the horse, and waited for the men to leave with a smile before saying apologetically: Old Cheng, I'm really sorry!I originally said that I would have fun with you for a few days, but as soon as I came back, I took on a big business, and I haven't taken time to see you yet.
Cheng Zongyang smiled and said: I'm just asking for you, what business is so important?
Come in and say!
Ao Run stepped into the restaurant and said to Hu Ji without hesitation: Girl!Take a pot of good wine from your store!
Hu Ji smiled and agreed.Ao Run pulled Cheng Zongyang down and our Snow Falcon Group had just received a job, and this trip would probably take half a year.
Where to go?
Ao Run whispered: Jiangzhou!
What?
Ao Run smiled: Grandmaster Jia from Song State didn't know what kind of wind he was sucking, and suddenly wanted to attack Jiangzhou.There was a rumor in Jiangzhou that he was preparing to recruit a group of men who could fight. In half a year, each mercenary was given fifty gold baht, and the title of the team leader was doubled.Grandma's, this is two thousand silver coins.This number may not be earned in three years.It was our Captain Xue who was very well-behaved and received the letter early. He has been discussing these days, intending to draw out 200 brothers to make a good vote.
The news was so well-informed. As soon as Boss Meng borrowed money, the news of recruiting mercenaries had already spread in Qingzhou.Cheng Zongyang almost suspected that Boss Meng had an undercover agent of the Snow Falcon Group beside him.
Cheng Zongyang said: Where did you get the news?
You have to ask our Captain Xue to go.
Hu Ji brought the wine pot, and Ao Run slapped Hu Ji on the buttocks, which caused Hu Ji to laugh and scold him a few times.
Ao Run poured two cups and touched Cheng Zongyang, raised his glass and drank it all, and laughed: Old Cheng, your shield has made me face!You don’t know that the guys in the group saw my dragon scale shield and their eyes were purple. They cried and shouted that they had to change with me.Lao Ao said in one sentence: One thousand silver coins, one less son will not be sold!Block those poor people back!
Cheng Zongyang smiled and said: You are too cruel, so you can start price Ah.
Ao Run wiped it on his mouth: It’s not that I want to be ruthless, I want to leave more for Lao Zhang’s family.Lao Zhang's family expects him to work hard outside alone to make a living. Now Lao Zhang is gone, and there is still a family waiting to eat.I discussed with Feng Dafa that he would be able to come back alive from Jiangzhou. He would pay twenty gold coins for the money he earned, and I would pay for forty, and I would take Lao Zhang to keep it. I would find a way to get enough 100 gold coins for Lao Zhang's family to send them to Lao Zhang's house so that their family can do a small business and go on.
Cheng Zongyang said: Isn’t it just a matter of food?Let you squeeze out your life--let them come to Jiankang to find me, and if I have mine, there will be theirs.
good!Old Cheng is righteous enough, I'm not polite.
Ao Run took a sip of wine, Lao Cheng, you came to Qingzhou to chase the moon, right?
Cheng Zongyang felt nervous, what's wrong with Yue Yatou?
Didn’t she be thieves in the room?I think something is wrong with her these two days.Fortunately, your aunt came in the afternoon and moved her luggage to live with her. I was so happy that I saw her.
Ao Run seems rude, but in fact he has a detailed side.
But the dead girl moved in with Yueshuang without discussing with her. It was really a weird thing.
I hope that she suddenly realized that she was too naive.
The question is what the hell is she going to do?Although she obviously did not admit that the surname Yue was her father, she was very concerned about Yue Shuang, a cheap sister.Do you really want to kidnap her and sell her?
It’s hard to say... Cheng Zongyang’s heart was full of trouble. Such a dead girl could really do this kind of bird thing...
Ao Run pushed a glass of wine.OK, Lao Cheng, don’t hide it from me.What did you do to be sorry for others?
Cheng Zongyang thought quickly for a moment and drank slowly. Have you heard of Xingyue Lake?
As King Wu Mu, what happened before the New Year.I asked me to tell you that Master Song was a bit fucked and killed him very much.No matter what, Yue Shuai is also a hero.
Finally, Cheng Zongyang was almost a little moved when he saw someone who had no grudge against Yue Niaoren.
Ao Run said: What does this have to do with Miss Yue?
He frowned, Yue...yue...
Cheng Zongyang hurriedly said: I'm going to tell you that this matter has something to do with Jiangzhou.
Ao Run's hand holding the wine glass stopped beside her mouth. Is Zhang Shiyi's big mouth true?
Nine points are empty, one point is real.
Cheng Zongyang sighed, If you go to Jiangzhou, you may have to fight side by side with the rebellious remnants of Xingyue Lake.
Ao Run was stunned for a while and suddenly fucked the wine in the glass: Good thing!Lao Ao was just trying to see what the world's most powerful army is like!Fight side by side with them, Lao Ao couldn't ask for it!
Are you afraid?The Song army came to the Fourth Army.
It is not a false to say that, but it is worth it to be able to fight with King Wu Mu's personal guard camp and see their methods!
Cheng Zongyang smiled and said: What is fate?Maybe we will go to Jiangzhou together by then.
Are you from Xingyue Lake?
Ao Run lowered his voice and said: It's not like Ah!Look at your age, when Yue Shuai died, you were still playing with peeing mud?
Cheng Zongyang laughed and scolded: You are just playing with peeing mud.Let’s first say that your Snow Falcon Group will come to Jiangzhou and let’s do it side by side before talking about it.
Ao Run looked at him: Lao Cheng, what are you doing?Merchants are not like merchants, constables are not like constables, and aristocratic families are not like aristocratic families... Are you also a mercenary?
Cheng Zongyang clinked him a cup and said with a smile: I am just a businessman.No matter the size of the business, do it if you have the money.
It started to drizzle at night, and the streets and alleys made of bluestone were wet with rain, and a hint of chill came from the air.
This area is a gathering area for Hu merchants.
Zang Xiudao: In addition to the Persian Chamber of Commerce, there are dozens of chambers of commerce, including Daqin, Huitong, Tianzhu, and Zhenla, with tens of thousands of Hu merchants.
I accidentally saw the Persian Chamber of Commerce on the street. Thinking of the letters and rumors of treasures in my hand, Cheng Zongyang's interest aroused. After breaking up with Ao Run, he immediately brought someone to inquire.
Qin Hui changed into a coarse samurai uniform, put a pair of cowhide wrist guards wrapped in copper nails on his wrist, his cheeks were dyed yellow with coptis water, and his long beards were wiped to both sides, and he made a straight eyebrows. He immediately transformed himself into a mercenary man who could be seen everywhere in Qingzhou Port.
Walk!
Cheng Zongyang spread his hair, tied up a forehead strap, covered his right eye with an eye mask, then tightened his waist, jumped out of the carriage and walked towards the Persian Chamber of Commerce.
A Hu merchant came over and heard that they were sent by the mercenary group, so he reached out to answer.Cheng Zongyang pushed him away, took out the letter bag and lit it up, and said in a rough voice: This letter must be accepted by the main master!
Seeing the name on the letter bag, Hu Shang hesitated for a moment, please come here.
A Chinese speech was very authentic.
After entering the yard, there is a marble altar inside, and the rocks are naturally rose-colored.Two glass lamps were treed in front of the stage, and several Hu Shangs crossed their hands on their chests, kneeling in front of the altar and murmured.
There is an exquisite pavilion on the side of the courtyard.Hu Shang said a few words in front of the door, and an old man with light blonde hair opened the door and invited the two of them into the room: Are they from the mercenary group?What letter?
Cheng Zongyang took out the letter, and the old man pinched it through the letter bag and asked: Where is the person who sent the letter?
Cheng Zongyang talked about the person's appearance according to Ao Run's description. When he heard that he saw the body of the person who sent the letter, he suddenly heard a scream from the cabinet, "Bamo is dead?"
While speaking, a woman lifted the bead curtain and walked out quickly.
She was wearing a black robe and a cloth hood covered her face halfway, revealing only a bunch of golden hair on the side of her neck.
She reached out to grab the letter, and several strings of bracelets inlaid with jewelry on her snow-white jade wrist slid down, making a pleasant sound.
Cheng Zongyang's heart thumped.
I have seen this woman myself!
That time she wore a metal wrist armor on her wrist, raised her right hand high, and held the blood-dropped head of Wang Zhe's beloved disciple Han Geng, and she looked like a blood-sucking witch on the bloody battlefield of the prairie.
If she remembered correctly, Wen Ze, the military officer under Wang Zhe, once said that she was a Zoroastrian priestess.
The old man took a step back respectfully, as if he dared not offend her sacred dignity.After Bamo of Tessifon passed through Yunshui, we lost his news.Before this, he said that he was tracked and had to destroy the sheepskin and replace it with paper.
Daji Xuena glanced at Cheng Zongyang and did not recognize him.
After all, she was in a military of tens of thousands of people at that time, and she was inconspicuous. She was the one who could recognize her.
She was hit by Wang Zhe with one arrow that time but was lucky in disguise. Before Wang Zhe used the Nine Yang Divine Art to burn all the jade, he withdrew from the battlefield and was able to save his life.
It seems that the injury is not only recovered, but also improved.
Daji Xuena said: Who killed him?
Her tone of speech was slightly different from that of the people of the Six Dynasties, but it was much better than Quan Yuji, and she could hardly hear it without listening carefully.
Cheng Zongyang said: Our mercenary group is only responsible for delivering letters.As long as the letter is delivered, there is nothing we have to do with it.
Mug, give them money.
The priestess threw a word and returned to the curtain with the letter.
Yueshuang’s guess is correct, and this letter is indeed related to Zoroastrianism.
Cheng Zongyang took off his blindfold and pointed at Zang Xiudao who was staying in the car: Find two people here to stare at it, especially the priestess of the Zoroastrianism. I want to know where she has been and who she has met.
Zang Xiu's expression moved slightly, Zoroastrianism?Is the young master sure?
Cheng Zongyang looked at him a few times: I almost forgot that Zoroastrianism has a grudge against Yue Shuai, right?It seems that I heard that Yue Shuai took some of their treasures?
Zang Xiudao: The Zoroastrianism appeared in the Six Dynasties mostly for our Xingyue Lake, but it has nothing to do with the treasure, but it is just a little misunderstanding.
What a small misunderstanding?
Zang Xiudao: That happened more than ten years ago.Once when Yue Shuai went to Qingzhou, he heard that there were two holy fires in front of the Persian Chamber of Commerce. They could not be extinguished without adding oil or fuel.Curious for a moment, so...
Just snatch someone’s torch?
Zang Xiu waved his hand quickly: No!no!Shuai Yue just pulled it out and put it back for them.If the Persians really want to extinguish the holy fire, why don’t the Persians fight with us?
Cheng Zongyang patted his shoulder: Lao Zang, tell the truth!
Zang Xiu smiled bitterly, and there was a crown on the Holy Fire Altar at that time.It is said that after the death of the Persian king, he sent it to the holy fire altars in various places for sacrifice. It happened that time was in Qingzhou.Yue Shuai was fun for a while and took it away casually.Later, it was rumored that Yue Shuai seized the treasure of Zoroastrianism.
Cheng Zongyang smiled and said: Shuai Yue is really a thief.What about the crown?
The Persian Chamber of Commerce came to ask for it several times, but I heard that Yue Shuai changed it to a dog training in anger.
Cheng Zongyang was stunned for a moment. He was really creative... not good!
Cheng Zongyang suddenly remembered that when he was in the Xuanwu Lake villa, the dead girl found several dogs from where to find them. If it was really changed by the crown, no matter what secrets were hidden inside, they would be exposed.
Qin Hui explained: Don’t get too close when staring at people. The priestess didn’t make any noise before appearing, but he was afraid that his cultivation was not weak.
Zang Xiudao: I understand.
I have copied the content of the letter myself, but I can't see anything except a few Roman numerals.
If the Zoroastrian priestess' trip is really related to Xingyue Lake, Xingyue Lake will be wary of the Persians while dealing with the upcoming Battle of Jiangzhou. In addition, the Black Demon Sea is enough for Boss Meng to have a headache.
The carriage drove back to Yangliu Lane, and when he turned, he passed by Zhuliang Academy, and a sound of reading came from the wall.Cheng Zongyang felt a move in his heart and sat up: Lao Zang, is there a Hu Shang-chan academy in Qingzhou?
There are two translation academies that specialize in cultivating translation.
Tomorrow, I will help me find some translations who understand the words of Daqin.
There is actually a Latin teacher in Qingzhou, and I really came to the right place.Just break the content of the letter and find a few who understand Latin to translate it, and you can guess eight or nine points even if you don’t understand grammar.
Qin Hui listened to the sound of reciting books in the academy and said in surprise: Good words!
Cheng Zongyang listened carefully, and several women in the yard were chanting on the bridge: The fragrance of red lotus roots and leaves jade mats autumn.Removing the silk clothes lightly, and going on the orchid boat alone.Who sends a brocade letter in the clouds?When the word "天" returns, the moon fills the west building.Flowers fall and water flows.A kind of lovesickness, two idle sorrows.This feeling is helpless, and I just browed but fell into my heart...
Cheng Zongyang suddenly said: It turned out to be Li Qingzhao's poem.
oh?The young master recognizes this person?
Cheng Zong coughed, and had heard of it.
Qin Hui stroked his knees and sighed: Such wonderful sentences can be called every word, and then the woman chanted it in a lush voice, just like coughing beads and rinsing jade...
Stop being sour.
Cheng Zongyang laughed: Brother treacherous, you are not moved by the heart of spring, right?
Qin Hui laughed, "The Huns have not yet been destroyed, why do you have a family?"
Have ambition!
After returning to his residence, Zang Xiu went to arrange staff overnight.Cheng Zongyang stopped Qin Hui: Ask him, you can do something for me: buy a batch of the best fireworks in Qingzhou Port and set the highest ones.
When Qin Hui saw Cheng Zongyang put on his night clothes, he couldn't help but say: Young Master, are you going out?
Cheng Zongyang smiled and said: Go and see the scenery.Don't worry, if you want to cause trouble, you have to wait for you to come back.
The boat left the dock and sailed into the night of Qingzhou. A quarter of an hour later, the boat landed.
Cheng Zongyang walked ashore for a while and made sure that no one was following him. He changed his boat and sailed across the river with a dense river, and stopped at an inn.
Cheng Zongyang went upstairs without hesitation, found the room at the end of the corridor, and pushed it open the door.
The room was empty, and the beds were neatly folded, as if no one had lived there.
Cheng Zongyang took out a telescope from under the pillow, then picked up a corner of the window screen, placed the lens barrel on the window, and looked carefully at the woods opposite.
An hour later, Cheng Zongyang finally found his target at the moment of midnight.
A man dressed in a businessman seemed drunk, walked into the forest with a stumble, then tilted his body and started vomiting while holding a tree.
After a while, he wiped his mouth and ran around the forest as if he couldn't tell the direction. It took him a long time to walk out of the woods.
Cheng Zongyang took off his coat, revealing the black night clothes inside, then opened the window and jumped to the wall, following the man far away.
The woods were already in the suburbs of the city, but the drunk man was getting more and more deviant, and finally came to an inconspicuous old Taoist temple and flashed into it.Cheng Zongyang pressed his back against the wall and listened for a while, then crossed the courtyard wall and fell into the temple.
Although this Taoist temple is dilapidated, it is not small in scale.Cheng Zongyang saw the hall with clear lights, jumped gently, climbed the rafters under the eaves, and swam towards the lights like fish.
The drunk man in the hall had already put away his drunkenness. He opened his hand and showed a jade pendant in his hand, and said nervously: I'm afraid something happened to Lao Ma when he found this in the woods.
A big hand with black hair reached out, grabbed the jade pendant, and cursed, "Damn it!"
The man was sturdy and ferocious. He was tied with a robe with a twisted cuff, and his cuffs looked like a Taoist, but eighty-pointed like a bandit.
Cheng Zongyang thought for a while before he recognized that he was the guy who was locked by Wu Er in Zixi that day. He was named Yuan Xingjian, who was Lin Zhilan's registered outer disciple.
Yuan Xingjian lowered his voice and scolded: Didn’t I let you stare at it?I had lost my hand in the grassland last time, and now I finally found the trace of this little bitch, and something happened to Lao Ma again!How do you ask me to explain to the Taoist?
Senior brother, that girl is not easy to deal with.I think we may not be able to do it anymore, so why not let the people around Jiaoyu come.
Yuan Xingjian's face turned brighter and darker, and after a while, he said: No.If this matter cannot be done well, where can we put our brothers face?In the future, Longchi may not have our seat!
Cheng Zongyang lay under the eaves, and the conversation between the two could be heard clearly.
Last night, Taiyi Zhenzong failed in the inn and was bound to come back to find the whereabouts of his fellow disciples.
Considering that there are so many people during the day, I will probably wait at night.
Hearing this, Cheng Zongyang knew it.Both assassinations were led by Lin Zhijian, but why did Lin Zhilan and Wang Zhe have such a big difference in their attitude towards Yue Shuai's orphan?
Suddenly, a slight voice said: What are you looking at?
Cheng Zongyang turned his head and saw that there was one more person around him at some point.
The boy was young and seemed a few years younger than him. His hair was casually tied into a bun, tied with a jade hoop, and his forehead looked big and bright.
He was wearing a black Taoist robe, with elegant eyebrows and beautiful smiles on his face, looking clear and bright.
But his posture was exactly the same as himself, with his toes hooked with rafters, and he was leaning his head and looking around in the court.
The boy showed a disappointed expression, and I thought there was something good to look at.
He turned his face and said, "What do you think of these two guys?"
He slipped to him without even realizing it. If he had given him a sword with malicious intention, he would have been lying under the eaves at this moment.
Cheng Zongyang whispered: Where did you come from, brother?
The young man was stunned, don’t you know me?
Cheng Zongyang is even more strange than him. Why do I know you?
you--
Before the young man finished speaking, he shouted loudly in the hall, "Who!"
Yuan Xingjian grabbed a big knife and rushed out with his junior brother.
Cheng Zongyang grabbed the young man and stood there stupidly?Don't run quickly!
oh!
The young man hurriedly got out of the eaves with him, climbed up the corner of the eaves, turned over and jumped to the eaves, and then ran out in panic over the wall.
There was a shout from the Taoist temple, the lights kept on light, and there were shadows. I don’t know how many people were chasing them. No one dared to make a sound and ran away in panic.
Cheng Zongyang already has a lot of experience in escaping life. He can't catch up with him when he runs out.
But the boy next to him couldn't see any movement under his feet, but he was not slower than taking big steps.
His arms did not move, his body leaned forward slightly, looking as relaxed and relaxed as if he was walking in the wind.
The two of them ran for more than two miles in one breath, leaving the shouting far behind before slowing down.The boy breathed out: I was scared to death...Oh!careful!
The young man grabbed Cheng Zongyang's sleeve.Cheng Zongyang just took half a step and was pulled back by him, and his feet slipped and almost fell.
Cheng Zongyang calmed down and looked forward. Apart from a piece of grass stained with rain, he found nothing unusual. He asked in wonder: What's wrong?
The young man squatted down carefully and picked up something from the grass where he was about to settle down.
Ladybug!
The boy said with lingering fear: I almost let you step on it, it's okay!
Cheng Zongyang's nose was almost pissed, ladybug?I almost fell down, do you know?
How can you step on ladybugs?
The boy ignored his anger and pointed at the dark spots on the ladybug's back and counted them one by one. Look, one, two, two, four, five, six, and seven, is it a seven-star ladybug or a female bug!
I thought you had found a treasure!
Cheng Zongyang said: Isn’t it just a ladybug?Put it down and let me step on it to death!
no!
The boy quickly closed his hands.
Cheng Zongyang laughed in anger, "Did you raise this ladybug?"
certainly,
The boy said seriously: I released more than 60,000 seven-star ladybugs this year, and I raised all the ladybugs in this area.
Cheng Zongyang was stunned for a while and whispered: Are you sick?
No.
I have seen pigs, cattle, chickens, ducks, cranes, and gus... This is the first time I have seen ladybugs.
Cheng Zongyang looked him up and down, "Why are you raising this thing if you are not sick?"
Of course it is useful,
The young man pointed at the field in front of him, did you see it?
Nonsense, I'm not blind.
The young man was not angry at all.There are rice fields over there and fruit forest over there.Originally, three acres of rice fields can support a family of five or six people in two seasons a year. How many acres of land can be sold, and the grain produced can be used to change clothes, salt and things for home use.But when I first came, some places could not support the family for five or six acres of land.
What does this have to do with bugs?
Of course it has something to do.The yield reduction in rice fields is not because farmers don’t put in their efforts, but because there are too many pests.There are aphids in the rice fields, peach aphids in the fruit forest, and some white moths and scale insects...
Young people counted like this, because these pests lost 20% or 30% of their food every year.Sometimes, hundreds or thousands of acres of rice fields are affected by pests, and only a few dozen kilograms of grain can be harvested for each drink.Farmers do not have food to cover their stomachs, and many people come to the temple to ask for blessings from the gods, and some even sell their children if they can’t survive.
The young man said: I went to the fields to see those aphids are very small and cannot be caught. They think of many ways but they can't do it.When I was guarding the field until the third day, I suddenly saw that there were fewer aphids on a rice plant.I waited for Ah next to Ah, and finally saw this thing.
The young man raised the seven-star ladybug and said proudly: It's it!The natural enemy of aphids!I have calculated that a seven-star ladybug can eat more than 100 aphids a day.The lifespan of a seven-star ladybug is usually two and a half months and can eat tens of thousands of aphids.A seven-star female insect can lay more than 2,000 eggs and can reproduce for six or seven generations a year. Even if only one percent survives and only four generations of breeding, each time a seven-star ladybug is placed, its descendants will eat tens of millions of cheap insects to protect dozens of dared fields.Moreover, it not only eats aphids, but also eats white moths and scale insects...
The young man said in one breath: Seven-star ladybugs eat all kinds of pests, but the chicks and sparrows around him also eat ladybugs. Sometimes there is no ladybug on the ground that is almost soft.I just raise some myself and let them go every day when I walk.With these ladybugs, the surrounding fields have not been infected by pests in recent years, and they can harvest thousands of stones of extra grain!
The young man opened his palms and watched the ladybug's seven black spots separate, flying quietly into the moonlight, then turned around and said seriously: If you want to step on it to death, it means that there are tens of millions of aphids, and dozens of acres of land will be affected by pests!
Cheng Zongyang couldn't help but say: Who are you?
The young man laughed, I am the master of Hunyuan Temple, my name is Qiu Shaojun.
Cheng Zongyang was stunned for a while, and turned around and pointed to the place he had just come: Is it that Taoist temple?I'll do it!Why are you the spectator following me?
Qiu Shaojun shouted: How do I know?Didn’t you pull me away?
Cheng Zongyang calmed down, are you from Taiyi Zhenzong?What is the relationship with the coach?
Qiu Shaojun said happily: Do you actually know the commander?That's my senior brother!
Are you Wang Zhenren’s junior brother?
It's Ah, I'm the youngest, ranking seventeen.
Cheng Zongyang looked up and down at him: Why don’t you wear Jiao Yu’s clothes?
Qiu Shaojun waved his hands repeatedly: I am not a teaching emperor, it is too far away.Senior Brother Shang said that the head teacher died outside the border, and I had to wait until the new head teacher was selected and the permission of the head teacher was allowed to set up an account and teach the disciple, and then be promoted to the tutor.It will take ten years at the earliest.
Shishuai said half a year ago that you were promoted to the imperial edict.
Really?
Qiu Shaojun Bingran said: Why don’t I know?
I was next to the coach at that time.Lin Caiquan, Shang Lexuan, Su Weiyang and Zhuo Yunjun are all here!
Qiu Shaojun looked at him intently, "Are you there when your senior brother passed away?"
I happened to be on the grassland at that time and met Shishuai.Shi Shuai also left me a letter.
Cheng Zongyang spread his hands, but unfortunately he was ruined by your Senior Sister Zhuo.
Senior Sister Zhuo?I haven't seen her in a long time.
Qiu Shaojun said: What did the senior brother say in his letter?
Cheng Zongyang knocked on his forehead and recalled: Shi Shuai said that he had been fighting outside for many years and had no time to deal with academic affairs. As a result, the affairs within the church made him very dissatisfied.Nowadays, chaos arises. I hope someone can clean up the portal and maintain the reputation of Taiyi Zhenzong.
Qiu Shaojun sat cross-legged among the grass and sighed distressedly: Senior Brother Lin was very good, but for some reason, he suddenly recruited so many registered disciples in recent years. No wonder Senior Brother was unhappy.However, although those people are all in all kinds of ways, they have no bad things with the constraints of Senior Brother Lin... Did the Senior Brother say who will succeed as the head coach?
No.
Cheng Zongyang looked at him, do you want to be him?
Qiu Shaojun waved his hand and said: I am too far away, Senior Brother Lin and the others are still the same.
This kid doesn't look talented and superb at all, and his bright big forehead is quite eye-catching.
Cheng Zongyang said: Isn’t Taiyi Zhenzong quite rich?How could the Taoist temple in Qingzhou be broken like this?
We have three Taoist temples in Qingzhou. The largest one is called Shangqing Pavilion, which occupies an island in Yunmengze; the other one is located south of Qingzhou Port, and there are dozens of disciples, and the incense is very popular.
Qiu Shaojun said a little embarrassedly: Three years ago, Senior Brother Lin asked me to come to Hunyuan Temple as the master of the temple, and wanted me to prepare the Hunyuan Temple, but I only care about raising ladybugs. There are fewer and fewer people coming to the temple to worship, and there is not much money to repair it.
How come fewer and fewer people worship?
Qiu Shaojun shrugged, and the farmers around him came to worship after being affected by disaster. In recent years, there have been fewer pests and everyone has lived a better life, and fewer people have come.
ha.
This kid is really interesting. He raised tens of thousands of ladybugs and saved the insect scourge in several surrounding villages, but ended up making himself out of food.
Cheng Zongyang also sat down and smiled and said: You did things too well, no wonder your Hunyuan Temple doesn’t even come to the door!
Not no one came.
Qiu Shaojun smiled and said: Everyone around me knows that I am a fool. I have raised a bunch of ladybugs in the temple, and people come to the temple every now and then to see the strange things.
You didn't drive them out?
No.Some drunks came to the temple.
Qiu Shaojun stuck out his tongue. I was afraid that they would accidentally step on the ladybug, so I pretended to be a ghost to scare them away.
Ha ha!
Cheng Zongyang laughed twice.This kid is quite interesting.
Are there a few people in your view?What are they doing here?Raising ladybugs with you?
Senior Brother Lin asked them to practice.
Qiu Shaojun smiled and said, "There is no meat to eat in the temple, and they scolded me a lot behind their backs."Hello, aren’t you here to see me raise insects?
Cheng Zongyang hesitated whether to tell the truth, but after seeing so many fellow disciples of Wang Zhe, only this kid who raises insects is like a good person, and Wang Zhe also has high hopes for him, so it will not be far behind.
Do you know the Dark Sea?
Know.
Qiu Shaojun's expression became solemn. Three years ago, Wen Zongjun came to Qingzhou to tell me a lot.He said I was almost eighteen years old and I should know some things.
What did he say?
He said that although the Black Demon Sea was wiped out by Supervisor Yue, there are signs in recent years that the Black Demon Sea has rekindled, so I will be careful of this great enemy.
So that's it.Did he tell you about Yue Shuai?
Yue Shuai has a daughter who is in the senior brother Zuo Wujun.
Qiu Shaojun smiled and said: Wen Zongjun said that Miss Yue is as beautiful as a flower. My senior brother asked me if I wanted to marry her, and I had already refused.I heard that my senior brother was very unhappy.
Why refuse?You Taoism does not prohibit marriage, right?
Qiu Shaojun said innocently: I was seventeen at that time, she was only threeteen, and she was still a child. The two of us were not as old as thirty.I was afraid that if I married her, I would starve her to lose weight, so my senior brother would scold me.
No wonder Wang Zhe was so anxious to take care of Yueshuang, because he was afraid that he would not be able to send it out.
Hello,
Qiu Shaojun said: You have asked me so much, but you haven’t answered me yet.
Cheng Zongyang said: The daughter of Yue Shuai is named Yue Shuang, and this matter has something to do with her.At that time, people from Taiyi Zhenzong assassinated her in the grassland...
After listening to the passing quietly, Shaojun Qiu stood up and I was going to see Miss Yue.
Now?
Qiu Shaojun nodded: No time to go.If it was really instructed by Senior Brother Lin, I would go to Longchi to explain clearly in front of all the scholars and elders.
What if it was Lin Zhilan?
Qiu Shaojun said resolutely: Even if I want to clean up the portal, I will do whatever I want.
You don’t have a single disciple now, but Lin Zhilan’s disciples are at least thousands, right?Can you fight with them?
As long as there is evidence, Senior Brother Lin, Senior Brother Su, Senior Brother Shang and Senior Sister Zhuo will stand on my side.
This is possible.As far as Cheng Zongyang knows, Lin Zhilan has also created many enemies in Taiyi Zhenzong.
Qiu Shaojun took a few steps and stopped again, and said embarrassedly: Brother Cheng, if I tell Miss Yue now that I want to marry her, do you think it is appropriate?
Cheng Zongyang said sternly: Not suitable!
Mr. Qiu said in a good manner: Yes, it’s a bit like taking advantage of others’ danger now, so I’ll talk about it in a few days.
It's not suitable in a few days!
Cheng Zongyang said: You have already refused, don’t think about this.
Qiu Shaojun touched his forehead and pondered: If Miss Yue is really as beautiful as Wen Zongjun said, I am afraid I will regret it.
Cheng Zongyang patted his shoulder, It's too late to regret it, who told you not to seize the opportunity?
Qiu Shaojun sighed, let’s forget it.Brother Cheng, please.
Hello, it's okay if you don't go back?
Qiu Shaojun looked back and said, "It's okay."They can steal meat if they can't find me.
You, the sensible person, are you too stingy?Even meat is not allowed to be eaten.
It’s great to have vegetables and tofu every day, why do you still have to eat meat?Alas, be careful!
I'll do it!You are still staring at the ladybugs in the grass in the middle of the night?Don't be afraid of being exhausted!
Qiu Shaojun comforted: dozens of acres of land, dozens of acres of land...
Ao Run said to his companion: This is what I call Brother Cheng!Thanks to him when I went to Guangyang this time, I was a friend of life and death with Lao Ao!
The men greeted Cheng Zongyang with their fists.Ao Run said: Everyone, let me talk to Brother Cheng!Don't worry, it won't miss the situation!
Ao Run said as he jumped off the horse, and waited for the men to leave with a smile before saying apologetically: Old Cheng, I'm really sorry!I originally said that I would have fun with you for a few days, but as soon as I came back, I took on a big business, and I haven't taken time to see you yet.
Cheng Zongyang smiled and said: I'm just asking for you, what business is so important?
Come in and say!
Ao Run stepped into the restaurant and said to Hu Ji without hesitation: Girl!Take a pot of good wine from your store!
Hu Ji smiled and agreed.Ao Run pulled Cheng Zongyang down and our Snow Falcon Group had just received a job, and this trip would probably take half a year.
Where to go?
Ao Run whispered: Jiangzhou!
What?
Ao Run smiled: Grandmaster Jia from Song State didn't know what kind of wind he was sucking, and suddenly wanted to attack Jiangzhou.There was a rumor in Jiangzhou that he was preparing to recruit a group of men who could fight. In half a year, each mercenary was given fifty gold baht, and the title of the team leader was doubled.Grandma's, this is two thousand silver coins.This number may not be earned in three years.It was our Captain Xue who was very well-behaved and received the letter early. He has been discussing these days, intending to draw out 200 brothers to make a good vote.
The news was so well-informed. As soon as Boss Meng borrowed money, the news of recruiting mercenaries had already spread in Qingzhou.Cheng Zongyang almost suspected that Boss Meng had an undercover agent of the Snow Falcon Group beside him.
Cheng Zongyang said: Where did you get the news?
You have to ask our Captain Xue to go.
Hu Ji brought the wine pot, and Ao Run slapped Hu Ji on the buttocks, which caused Hu Ji to laugh and scold him a few times.
Ao Run poured two cups and touched Cheng Zongyang, raised his glass and drank it all, and laughed: Old Cheng, your shield has made me face!You don’t know that the guys in the group saw my dragon scale shield and their eyes were purple. They cried and shouted that they had to change with me.Lao Ao said in one sentence: One thousand silver coins, one less son will not be sold!Block those poor people back!
Cheng Zongyang smiled and said: You are too cruel, so you can start price Ah.
Ao Run wiped it on his mouth: It’s not that I want to be ruthless, I want to leave more for Lao Zhang’s family.Lao Zhang's family expects him to work hard outside alone to make a living. Now Lao Zhang is gone, and there is still a family waiting to eat.I discussed with Feng Dafa that he would be able to come back alive from Jiangzhou. He would pay twenty gold coins for the money he earned, and I would pay for forty, and I would take Lao Zhang to keep it. I would find a way to get enough 100 gold coins for Lao Zhang's family to send them to Lao Zhang's house so that their family can do a small business and go on.
Cheng Zongyang said: Isn’t it just a matter of food?Let you squeeze out your life--let them come to Jiankang to find me, and if I have mine, there will be theirs.
good!Old Cheng is righteous enough, I'm not polite.
Ao Run took a sip of wine, Lao Cheng, you came to Qingzhou to chase the moon, right?
Cheng Zongyang felt nervous, what's wrong with Yue Yatou?
Didn’t she be thieves in the room?I think something is wrong with her these two days.Fortunately, your aunt came in the afternoon and moved her luggage to live with her. I was so happy that I saw her.
Ao Run seems rude, but in fact he has a detailed side.
But the dead girl moved in with Yueshuang without discussing with her. It was really a weird thing.
I hope that she suddenly realized that she was too naive.
The question is what the hell is she going to do?Although she obviously did not admit that the surname Yue was her father, she was very concerned about Yue Shuang, a cheap sister.Do you really want to kidnap her and sell her?
It’s hard to say... Cheng Zongyang’s heart was full of trouble. Such a dead girl could really do this kind of bird thing...
Ao Run pushed a glass of wine.OK, Lao Cheng, don’t hide it from me.What did you do to be sorry for others?
Cheng Zongyang thought quickly for a moment and drank slowly. Have you heard of Xingyue Lake?
As King Wu Mu, what happened before the New Year.I asked me to tell you that Master Song was a bit fucked and killed him very much.No matter what, Yue Shuai is also a hero.
Finally, Cheng Zongyang was almost a little moved when he saw someone who had no grudge against Yue Niaoren.
Ao Run said: What does this have to do with Miss Yue?
He frowned, Yue...yue...
Cheng Zongyang hurriedly said: I'm going to tell you that this matter has something to do with Jiangzhou.
Ao Run's hand holding the wine glass stopped beside her mouth. Is Zhang Shiyi's big mouth true?
Nine points are empty, one point is real.
Cheng Zongyang sighed, If you go to Jiangzhou, you may have to fight side by side with the rebellious remnants of Xingyue Lake.
Ao Run was stunned for a while and suddenly fucked the wine in the glass: Good thing!Lao Ao was just trying to see what the world's most powerful army is like!Fight side by side with them, Lao Ao couldn't ask for it!
Are you afraid?The Song army came to the Fourth Army.
It is not a false to say that, but it is worth it to be able to fight with King Wu Mu's personal guard camp and see their methods!
Cheng Zongyang smiled and said: What is fate?Maybe we will go to Jiangzhou together by then.
Are you from Xingyue Lake?
Ao Run lowered his voice and said: It's not like Ah!Look at your age, when Yue Shuai died, you were still playing with peeing mud?
Cheng Zongyang laughed and scolded: You are just playing with peeing mud.Let’s first say that your Snow Falcon Group will come to Jiangzhou and let’s do it side by side before talking about it.
Ao Run looked at him: Lao Cheng, what are you doing?Merchants are not like merchants, constables are not like constables, and aristocratic families are not like aristocratic families... Are you also a mercenary?
Cheng Zongyang clinked him a cup and said with a smile: I am just a businessman.No matter the size of the business, do it if you have the money.
It started to drizzle at night, and the streets and alleys made of bluestone were wet with rain, and a hint of chill came from the air.
This area is a gathering area for Hu merchants.
Zang Xiudao: In addition to the Persian Chamber of Commerce, there are dozens of chambers of commerce, including Daqin, Huitong, Tianzhu, and Zhenla, with tens of thousands of Hu merchants.
I accidentally saw the Persian Chamber of Commerce on the street. Thinking of the letters and rumors of treasures in my hand, Cheng Zongyang's interest aroused. After breaking up with Ao Run, he immediately brought someone to inquire.
Qin Hui changed into a coarse samurai uniform, put a pair of cowhide wrist guards wrapped in copper nails on his wrist, his cheeks were dyed yellow with coptis water, and his long beards were wiped to both sides, and he made a straight eyebrows. He immediately transformed himself into a mercenary man who could be seen everywhere in Qingzhou Port.
Walk!
Cheng Zongyang spread his hair, tied up a forehead strap, covered his right eye with an eye mask, then tightened his waist, jumped out of the carriage and walked towards the Persian Chamber of Commerce.
A Hu merchant came over and heard that they were sent by the mercenary group, so he reached out to answer.Cheng Zongyang pushed him away, took out the letter bag and lit it up, and said in a rough voice: This letter must be accepted by the main master!
Seeing the name on the letter bag, Hu Shang hesitated for a moment, please come here.
A Chinese speech was very authentic.
After entering the yard, there is a marble altar inside, and the rocks are naturally rose-colored.Two glass lamps were treed in front of the stage, and several Hu Shangs crossed their hands on their chests, kneeling in front of the altar and murmured.
There is an exquisite pavilion on the side of the courtyard.Hu Shang said a few words in front of the door, and an old man with light blonde hair opened the door and invited the two of them into the room: Are they from the mercenary group?What letter?
Cheng Zongyang took out the letter, and the old man pinched it through the letter bag and asked: Where is the person who sent the letter?
Cheng Zongyang talked about the person's appearance according to Ao Run's description. When he heard that he saw the body of the person who sent the letter, he suddenly heard a scream from the cabinet, "Bamo is dead?"
While speaking, a woman lifted the bead curtain and walked out quickly.
She was wearing a black robe and a cloth hood covered her face halfway, revealing only a bunch of golden hair on the side of her neck.
She reached out to grab the letter, and several strings of bracelets inlaid with jewelry on her snow-white jade wrist slid down, making a pleasant sound.
Cheng Zongyang's heart thumped.
I have seen this woman myself!
That time she wore a metal wrist armor on her wrist, raised her right hand high, and held the blood-dropped head of Wang Zhe's beloved disciple Han Geng, and she looked like a blood-sucking witch on the bloody battlefield of the prairie.
If she remembered correctly, Wen Ze, the military officer under Wang Zhe, once said that she was a Zoroastrian priestess.
The old man took a step back respectfully, as if he dared not offend her sacred dignity.After Bamo of Tessifon passed through Yunshui, we lost his news.Before this, he said that he was tracked and had to destroy the sheepskin and replace it with paper.
Daji Xuena glanced at Cheng Zongyang and did not recognize him.
After all, she was in a military of tens of thousands of people at that time, and she was inconspicuous. She was the one who could recognize her.
She was hit by Wang Zhe with one arrow that time but was lucky in disguise. Before Wang Zhe used the Nine Yang Divine Art to burn all the jade, he withdrew from the battlefield and was able to save his life.
It seems that the injury is not only recovered, but also improved.
Daji Xuena said: Who killed him?
Her tone of speech was slightly different from that of the people of the Six Dynasties, but it was much better than Quan Yuji, and she could hardly hear it without listening carefully.
Cheng Zongyang said: Our mercenary group is only responsible for delivering letters.As long as the letter is delivered, there is nothing we have to do with it.
Mug, give them money.
The priestess threw a word and returned to the curtain with the letter.
Yueshuang’s guess is correct, and this letter is indeed related to Zoroastrianism.
Cheng Zongyang took off his blindfold and pointed at Zang Xiudao who was staying in the car: Find two people here to stare at it, especially the priestess of the Zoroastrianism. I want to know where she has been and who she has met.
Zang Xiu's expression moved slightly, Zoroastrianism?Is the young master sure?
Cheng Zongyang looked at him a few times: I almost forgot that Zoroastrianism has a grudge against Yue Shuai, right?It seems that I heard that Yue Shuai took some of their treasures?
Zang Xiudao: The Zoroastrianism appeared in the Six Dynasties mostly for our Xingyue Lake, but it has nothing to do with the treasure, but it is just a little misunderstanding.
What a small misunderstanding?
Zang Xiudao: That happened more than ten years ago.Once when Yue Shuai went to Qingzhou, he heard that there were two holy fires in front of the Persian Chamber of Commerce. They could not be extinguished without adding oil or fuel.Curious for a moment, so...
Just snatch someone’s torch?
Zang Xiu waved his hand quickly: No!no!Shuai Yue just pulled it out and put it back for them.If the Persians really want to extinguish the holy fire, why don’t the Persians fight with us?
Cheng Zongyang patted his shoulder: Lao Zang, tell the truth!
Zang Xiu smiled bitterly, and there was a crown on the Holy Fire Altar at that time.It is said that after the death of the Persian king, he sent it to the holy fire altars in various places for sacrifice. It happened that time was in Qingzhou.Yue Shuai was fun for a while and took it away casually.Later, it was rumored that Yue Shuai seized the treasure of Zoroastrianism.
Cheng Zongyang smiled and said: Shuai Yue is really a thief.What about the crown?
The Persian Chamber of Commerce came to ask for it several times, but I heard that Yue Shuai changed it to a dog training in anger.
Cheng Zongyang was stunned for a moment. He was really creative... not good!
Cheng Zongyang suddenly remembered that when he was in the Xuanwu Lake villa, the dead girl found several dogs from where to find them. If it was really changed by the crown, no matter what secrets were hidden inside, they would be exposed.
Qin Hui explained: Don’t get too close when staring at people. The priestess didn’t make any noise before appearing, but he was afraid that his cultivation was not weak.
Zang Xiudao: I understand.
I have copied the content of the letter myself, but I can't see anything except a few Roman numerals.
If the Zoroastrian priestess' trip is really related to Xingyue Lake, Xingyue Lake will be wary of the Persians while dealing with the upcoming Battle of Jiangzhou. In addition, the Black Demon Sea is enough for Boss Meng to have a headache.
The carriage drove back to Yangliu Lane, and when he turned, he passed by Zhuliang Academy, and a sound of reading came from the wall.Cheng Zongyang felt a move in his heart and sat up: Lao Zang, is there a Hu Shang-chan academy in Qingzhou?
There are two translation academies that specialize in cultivating translation.
Tomorrow, I will help me find some translations who understand the words of Daqin.
There is actually a Latin teacher in Qingzhou, and I really came to the right place.Just break the content of the letter and find a few who understand Latin to translate it, and you can guess eight or nine points even if you don’t understand grammar.
Qin Hui listened to the sound of reciting books in the academy and said in surprise: Good words!
Cheng Zongyang listened carefully, and several women in the yard were chanting on the bridge: The fragrance of red lotus roots and leaves jade mats autumn.Removing the silk clothes lightly, and going on the orchid boat alone.Who sends a brocade letter in the clouds?When the word "天" returns, the moon fills the west building.Flowers fall and water flows.A kind of lovesickness, two idle sorrows.This feeling is helpless, and I just browed but fell into my heart...
Cheng Zongyang suddenly said: It turned out to be Li Qingzhao's poem.
oh?The young master recognizes this person?
Cheng Zong coughed, and had heard of it.
Qin Hui stroked his knees and sighed: Such wonderful sentences can be called every word, and then the woman chanted it in a lush voice, just like coughing beads and rinsing jade...
Stop being sour.
Cheng Zongyang laughed: Brother treacherous, you are not moved by the heart of spring, right?
Qin Hui laughed, "The Huns have not yet been destroyed, why do you have a family?"
Have ambition!
After returning to his residence, Zang Xiu went to arrange staff overnight.Cheng Zongyang stopped Qin Hui: Ask him, you can do something for me: buy a batch of the best fireworks in Qingzhou Port and set the highest ones.
When Qin Hui saw Cheng Zongyang put on his night clothes, he couldn't help but say: Young Master, are you going out?
Cheng Zongyang smiled and said: Go and see the scenery.Don't worry, if you want to cause trouble, you have to wait for you to come back.
The boat left the dock and sailed into the night of Qingzhou. A quarter of an hour later, the boat landed.
Cheng Zongyang walked ashore for a while and made sure that no one was following him. He changed his boat and sailed across the river with a dense river, and stopped at an inn.
Cheng Zongyang went upstairs without hesitation, found the room at the end of the corridor, and pushed it open the door.
The room was empty, and the beds were neatly folded, as if no one had lived there.
Cheng Zongyang took out a telescope from under the pillow, then picked up a corner of the window screen, placed the lens barrel on the window, and looked carefully at the woods opposite.
An hour later, Cheng Zongyang finally found his target at the moment of midnight.
A man dressed in a businessman seemed drunk, walked into the forest with a stumble, then tilted his body and started vomiting while holding a tree.
After a while, he wiped his mouth and ran around the forest as if he couldn't tell the direction. It took him a long time to walk out of the woods.
Cheng Zongyang took off his coat, revealing the black night clothes inside, then opened the window and jumped to the wall, following the man far away.
The woods were already in the suburbs of the city, but the drunk man was getting more and more deviant, and finally came to an inconspicuous old Taoist temple and flashed into it.Cheng Zongyang pressed his back against the wall and listened for a while, then crossed the courtyard wall and fell into the temple.
Although this Taoist temple is dilapidated, it is not small in scale.Cheng Zongyang saw the hall with clear lights, jumped gently, climbed the rafters under the eaves, and swam towards the lights like fish.
The drunk man in the hall had already put away his drunkenness. He opened his hand and showed a jade pendant in his hand, and said nervously: I'm afraid something happened to Lao Ma when he found this in the woods.
A big hand with black hair reached out, grabbed the jade pendant, and cursed, "Damn it!"
The man was sturdy and ferocious. He was tied with a robe with a twisted cuff, and his cuffs looked like a Taoist, but eighty-pointed like a bandit.
Cheng Zongyang thought for a while before he recognized that he was the guy who was locked by Wu Er in Zixi that day. He was named Yuan Xingjian, who was Lin Zhilan's registered outer disciple.
Yuan Xingjian lowered his voice and scolded: Didn’t I let you stare at it?I had lost my hand in the grassland last time, and now I finally found the trace of this little bitch, and something happened to Lao Ma again!How do you ask me to explain to the Taoist?
Senior brother, that girl is not easy to deal with.I think we may not be able to do it anymore, so why not let the people around Jiaoyu come.
Yuan Xingjian's face turned brighter and darker, and after a while, he said: No.If this matter cannot be done well, where can we put our brothers face?In the future, Longchi may not have our seat!
Cheng Zongyang lay under the eaves, and the conversation between the two could be heard clearly.
Last night, Taiyi Zhenzong failed in the inn and was bound to come back to find the whereabouts of his fellow disciples.
Considering that there are so many people during the day, I will probably wait at night.
Hearing this, Cheng Zongyang knew it.Both assassinations were led by Lin Zhijian, but why did Lin Zhilan and Wang Zhe have such a big difference in their attitude towards Yue Shuai's orphan?
Suddenly, a slight voice said: What are you looking at?
Cheng Zongyang turned his head and saw that there was one more person around him at some point.
The boy was young and seemed a few years younger than him. His hair was casually tied into a bun, tied with a jade hoop, and his forehead looked big and bright.
He was wearing a black Taoist robe, with elegant eyebrows and beautiful smiles on his face, looking clear and bright.
But his posture was exactly the same as himself, with his toes hooked with rafters, and he was leaning his head and looking around in the court.
The boy showed a disappointed expression, and I thought there was something good to look at.
He turned his face and said, "What do you think of these two guys?"
He slipped to him without even realizing it. If he had given him a sword with malicious intention, he would have been lying under the eaves at this moment.
Cheng Zongyang whispered: Where did you come from, brother?
The young man was stunned, don’t you know me?
Cheng Zongyang is even more strange than him. Why do I know you?
you--
Before the young man finished speaking, he shouted loudly in the hall, "Who!"
Yuan Xingjian grabbed a big knife and rushed out with his junior brother.
Cheng Zongyang grabbed the young man and stood there stupidly?Don't run quickly!
oh!
The young man hurriedly got out of the eaves with him, climbed up the corner of the eaves, turned over and jumped to the eaves, and then ran out in panic over the wall.
There was a shout from the Taoist temple, the lights kept on light, and there were shadows. I don’t know how many people were chasing them. No one dared to make a sound and ran away in panic.
Cheng Zongyang already has a lot of experience in escaping life. He can't catch up with him when he runs out.
But the boy next to him couldn't see any movement under his feet, but he was not slower than taking big steps.
His arms did not move, his body leaned forward slightly, looking as relaxed and relaxed as if he was walking in the wind.
The two of them ran for more than two miles in one breath, leaving the shouting far behind before slowing down.The boy breathed out: I was scared to death...Oh!careful!
The young man grabbed Cheng Zongyang's sleeve.Cheng Zongyang just took half a step and was pulled back by him, and his feet slipped and almost fell.
Cheng Zongyang calmed down and looked forward. Apart from a piece of grass stained with rain, he found nothing unusual. He asked in wonder: What's wrong?
The young man squatted down carefully and picked up something from the grass where he was about to settle down.
Ladybug!
The boy said with lingering fear: I almost let you step on it, it's okay!
Cheng Zongyang's nose was almost pissed, ladybug?I almost fell down, do you know?
How can you step on ladybugs?
The boy ignored his anger and pointed at the dark spots on the ladybug's back and counted them one by one. Look, one, two, two, four, five, six, and seven, is it a seven-star ladybug or a female bug!
I thought you had found a treasure!
Cheng Zongyang said: Isn’t it just a ladybug?Put it down and let me step on it to death!
no!
The boy quickly closed his hands.
Cheng Zongyang laughed in anger, "Did you raise this ladybug?"
certainly,
The boy said seriously: I released more than 60,000 seven-star ladybugs this year, and I raised all the ladybugs in this area.
Cheng Zongyang was stunned for a while and whispered: Are you sick?
No.
I have seen pigs, cattle, chickens, ducks, cranes, and gus... This is the first time I have seen ladybugs.
Cheng Zongyang looked him up and down, "Why are you raising this thing if you are not sick?"
Of course it is useful,
The young man pointed at the field in front of him, did you see it?
Nonsense, I'm not blind.
The young man was not angry at all.There are rice fields over there and fruit forest over there.Originally, three acres of rice fields can support a family of five or six people in two seasons a year. How many acres of land can be sold, and the grain produced can be used to change clothes, salt and things for home use.But when I first came, some places could not support the family for five or six acres of land.
What does this have to do with bugs?
Of course it has something to do.The yield reduction in rice fields is not because farmers don’t put in their efforts, but because there are too many pests.There are aphids in the rice fields, peach aphids in the fruit forest, and some white moths and scale insects...
Young people counted like this, because these pests lost 20% or 30% of their food every year.Sometimes, hundreds or thousands of acres of rice fields are affected by pests, and only a few dozen kilograms of grain can be harvested for each drink.Farmers do not have food to cover their stomachs, and many people come to the temple to ask for blessings from the gods, and some even sell their children if they can’t survive.
The young man said: I went to the fields to see those aphids are very small and cannot be caught. They think of many ways but they can't do it.When I was guarding the field until the third day, I suddenly saw that there were fewer aphids on a rice plant.I waited for Ah next to Ah, and finally saw this thing.
The young man raised the seven-star ladybug and said proudly: It's it!The natural enemy of aphids!I have calculated that a seven-star ladybug can eat more than 100 aphids a day.The lifespan of a seven-star ladybug is usually two and a half months and can eat tens of thousands of aphids.A seven-star female insect can lay more than 2,000 eggs and can reproduce for six or seven generations a year. Even if only one percent survives and only four generations of breeding, each time a seven-star ladybug is placed, its descendants will eat tens of millions of cheap insects to protect dozens of dared fields.Moreover, it not only eats aphids, but also eats white moths and scale insects...
The young man said in one breath: Seven-star ladybugs eat all kinds of pests, but the chicks and sparrows around him also eat ladybugs. Sometimes there is no ladybug on the ground that is almost soft.I just raise some myself and let them go every day when I walk.With these ladybugs, the surrounding fields have not been infected by pests in recent years, and they can harvest thousands of stones of extra grain!
The young man opened his palms and watched the ladybug's seven black spots separate, flying quietly into the moonlight, then turned around and said seriously: If you want to step on it to death, it means that there are tens of millions of aphids, and dozens of acres of land will be affected by pests!
Cheng Zongyang couldn't help but say: Who are you?
The young man laughed, I am the master of Hunyuan Temple, my name is Qiu Shaojun.
Cheng Zongyang was stunned for a while, and turned around and pointed to the place he had just come: Is it that Taoist temple?I'll do it!Why are you the spectator following me?
Qiu Shaojun shouted: How do I know?Didn’t you pull me away?
Cheng Zongyang calmed down, are you from Taiyi Zhenzong?What is the relationship with the coach?
Qiu Shaojun said happily: Do you actually know the commander?That's my senior brother!
Are you Wang Zhenren’s junior brother?
It's Ah, I'm the youngest, ranking seventeen.
Cheng Zongyang looked up and down at him: Why don’t you wear Jiao Yu’s clothes?
Qiu Shaojun waved his hands repeatedly: I am not a teaching emperor, it is too far away.Senior Brother Shang said that the head teacher died outside the border, and I had to wait until the new head teacher was selected and the permission of the head teacher was allowed to set up an account and teach the disciple, and then be promoted to the tutor.It will take ten years at the earliest.
Shishuai said half a year ago that you were promoted to the imperial edict.
Really?
Qiu Shaojun Bingran said: Why don’t I know?
I was next to the coach at that time.Lin Caiquan, Shang Lexuan, Su Weiyang and Zhuo Yunjun are all here!
Qiu Shaojun looked at him intently, "Are you there when your senior brother passed away?"
I happened to be on the grassland at that time and met Shishuai.Shi Shuai also left me a letter.
Cheng Zongyang spread his hands, but unfortunately he was ruined by your Senior Sister Zhuo.
Senior Sister Zhuo?I haven't seen her in a long time.
Qiu Shaojun said: What did the senior brother say in his letter?
Cheng Zongyang knocked on his forehead and recalled: Shi Shuai said that he had been fighting outside for many years and had no time to deal with academic affairs. As a result, the affairs within the church made him very dissatisfied.Nowadays, chaos arises. I hope someone can clean up the portal and maintain the reputation of Taiyi Zhenzong.
Qiu Shaojun sat cross-legged among the grass and sighed distressedly: Senior Brother Lin was very good, but for some reason, he suddenly recruited so many registered disciples in recent years. No wonder Senior Brother was unhappy.However, although those people are all in all kinds of ways, they have no bad things with the constraints of Senior Brother Lin... Did the Senior Brother say who will succeed as the head coach?
No.
Cheng Zongyang looked at him, do you want to be him?
Qiu Shaojun waved his hand and said: I am too far away, Senior Brother Lin and the others are still the same.
This kid doesn't look talented and superb at all, and his bright big forehead is quite eye-catching.
Cheng Zongyang said: Isn’t Taiyi Zhenzong quite rich?How could the Taoist temple in Qingzhou be broken like this?
We have three Taoist temples in Qingzhou. The largest one is called Shangqing Pavilion, which occupies an island in Yunmengze; the other one is located south of Qingzhou Port, and there are dozens of disciples, and the incense is very popular.
Qiu Shaojun said a little embarrassedly: Three years ago, Senior Brother Lin asked me to come to Hunyuan Temple as the master of the temple, and wanted me to prepare the Hunyuan Temple, but I only care about raising ladybugs. There are fewer and fewer people coming to the temple to worship, and there is not much money to repair it.
How come fewer and fewer people worship?
Qiu Shaojun shrugged, and the farmers around him came to worship after being affected by disaster. In recent years, there have been fewer pests and everyone has lived a better life, and fewer people have come.
ha.
This kid is really interesting. He raised tens of thousands of ladybugs and saved the insect scourge in several surrounding villages, but ended up making himself out of food.
Cheng Zongyang also sat down and smiled and said: You did things too well, no wonder your Hunyuan Temple doesn’t even come to the door!
Not no one came.
Qiu Shaojun smiled and said: Everyone around me knows that I am a fool. I have raised a bunch of ladybugs in the temple, and people come to the temple every now and then to see the strange things.
You didn't drive them out?
No.Some drunks came to the temple.
Qiu Shaojun stuck out his tongue. I was afraid that they would accidentally step on the ladybug, so I pretended to be a ghost to scare them away.
Ha ha!
Cheng Zongyang laughed twice.This kid is quite interesting.
Are there a few people in your view?What are they doing here?Raising ladybugs with you?
Senior Brother Lin asked them to practice.
Qiu Shaojun smiled and said, "There is no meat to eat in the temple, and they scolded me a lot behind their backs."Hello, aren’t you here to see me raise insects?
Cheng Zongyang hesitated whether to tell the truth, but after seeing so many fellow disciples of Wang Zhe, only this kid who raises insects is like a good person, and Wang Zhe also has high hopes for him, so it will not be far behind.
Do you know the Dark Sea?
Know.
Qiu Shaojun's expression became solemn. Three years ago, Wen Zongjun came to Qingzhou to tell me a lot.He said I was almost eighteen years old and I should know some things.
What did he say?
He said that although the Black Demon Sea was wiped out by Supervisor Yue, there are signs in recent years that the Black Demon Sea has rekindled, so I will be careful of this great enemy.
So that's it.Did he tell you about Yue Shuai?
Yue Shuai has a daughter who is in the senior brother Zuo Wujun.
Qiu Shaojun smiled and said: Wen Zongjun said that Miss Yue is as beautiful as a flower. My senior brother asked me if I wanted to marry her, and I had already refused.I heard that my senior brother was very unhappy.
Why refuse?You Taoism does not prohibit marriage, right?
Qiu Shaojun said innocently: I was seventeen at that time, she was only threeteen, and she was still a child. The two of us were not as old as thirty.I was afraid that if I married her, I would starve her to lose weight, so my senior brother would scold me.
No wonder Wang Zhe was so anxious to take care of Yueshuang, because he was afraid that he would not be able to send it out.
Hello,
Qiu Shaojun said: You have asked me so much, but you haven’t answered me yet.
Cheng Zongyang said: The daughter of Yue Shuai is named Yue Shuang, and this matter has something to do with her.At that time, people from Taiyi Zhenzong assassinated her in the grassland...
After listening to the passing quietly, Shaojun Qiu stood up and I was going to see Miss Yue.
Now?
Qiu Shaojun nodded: No time to go.If it was really instructed by Senior Brother Lin, I would go to Longchi to explain clearly in front of all the scholars and elders.
What if it was Lin Zhilan?
Qiu Shaojun said resolutely: Even if I want to clean up the portal, I will do whatever I want.
You don’t have a single disciple now, but Lin Zhilan’s disciples are at least thousands, right?Can you fight with them?
As long as there is evidence, Senior Brother Lin, Senior Brother Su, Senior Brother Shang and Senior Sister Zhuo will stand on my side.
This is possible.As far as Cheng Zongyang knows, Lin Zhilan has also created many enemies in Taiyi Zhenzong.
Qiu Shaojun took a few steps and stopped again, and said embarrassedly: Brother Cheng, if I tell Miss Yue now that I want to marry her, do you think it is appropriate?
Cheng Zongyang said sternly: Not suitable!
Mr. Qiu said in a good manner: Yes, it’s a bit like taking advantage of others’ danger now, so I’ll talk about it in a few days.
It's not suitable in a few days!
Cheng Zongyang said: You have already refused, don’t think about this.
Qiu Shaojun touched his forehead and pondered: If Miss Yue is really as beautiful as Wen Zongjun said, I am afraid I will regret it.
Cheng Zongyang patted his shoulder, It's too late to regret it, who told you not to seize the opportunity?
Qiu Shaojun sighed, let’s forget it.Brother Cheng, please.
Hello, it's okay if you don't go back?
Qiu Shaojun looked back and said, "It's okay."They can steal meat if they can't find me.
You, the sensible person, are you too stingy?Even meat is not allowed to be eaten.
It’s great to have vegetables and tofu every day, why do you still have to eat meat?Alas, be careful!
I'll do it!You are still staring at the ladybugs in the grass in the middle of the night?Don't be afraid of being exhausted!
Qiu Shaojun comforted: dozens of acres of land, dozens of acres of land...
