The national teacher does not practice

Chapter 179 My Grandfather Is a Great Master ([-] words for subscription)

As soon as Ji Ping'an got out, his eyes swept over a group of people in the hall, with a smile on his face:
"It's done."

He didn't explain too much, and no one asked questions for a while. Luan Yu blinked and wanted to speak, but only heard the old prisoner with white beard and white hair sitting beside him slowly say:

"I have a few words with my disciples alone, please wait a moment."

After finishing speaking, the old star official waved his sleeve lightly, and immediately, starlight rose from the two of them, and then disappeared without a trace.

……

When Ji Pingan opened his eyes again, he found himself in a study in Houya.

The door of the room was closed, and behind a table in front of him, Qin Tianjian stood with his hands behind his back, with a rather smug smile on his face.

It was as if, after visiting "Yijingzhai" that day and being manipulated by Ji Pingan, today he finally found an opportunity to show his strength and pomp.

On one face, the words "I'm not very powerful" are almost written on it.

Childish... Ji Pingan sighed in his heart, and began to reflect that he might not be very good at educating "disciples".

"Sit down, no one here can hear you and me talking." The supervisor walked slowly, and Shi Shiran sat down.

Ji Ping'an also sat down calmly. In front of outsiders, he would show respect to his teacher, and he would not pretend in private...Anyway, it can be explained that he is a closed disciple of the national teacher, and everyone is of the same generation.

The old prisoner didn't care, and frowned slightly:

"What happened today?"

This counts as getting to the point.

Ji Ping glanced at him: "Didn't you figure it out?"

The supervisor blows his beard and stares:
"The old man just noticed that your fate was fluctuating, so he went to the prison on a whim, and wondered why you made such a fuss not long after I left you. Could it be possible that the star officer can see everything?
Especially when it comes to generals, the part of the Great Zhou court, all officials and generals with high enough ranks in the court, enjoy the protection of the national destiny, so it is difficult to divination... What's more, it also involves people who have come back from the dead. "

This statement is not false.

As the strongest star official ever, Ji Pingan didn't know how difficult it was?
The higher the cultivation base, the divination of some low-level things is indeed handy.

But in this world, there are still too many things that are difficult to see through.

At least... the Heaven Observation Realm doesn't work.

"The matter is not complicated, we have to start from Xishan Academy..."

Ji Pingan didn't hide it. After leaving the prison, he was invited by Ye Hongling to go to Xishan to get involved in the case, and he met Qi Nian and told the story.

"No wonder," the supervisor stroked his beard and sighed:

"At that time, the old man realized that the girl was looking for you, or something was involved, but she is a warrior after all, so I really can't see clearly."

So you sold yourself as a teacher... No wonder I had an accident, you came here... What "whim" is, you have been paying attention... Ji Pingan complained in his heart.

With a calm expression on his face, he told the story of his subsequent arrest.

"At that time, when I saw those soldiers coming, I guessed that Xishan's case might be involved, so I simply left with them, trying to find the missing Xie Wensheng," Ji Pingan said:

"I didn't expect that I would be the first to be interrogated by Zhong Lang."

The supervisor said curiously:
"He used soul search on you?"

Ji Pingan gave an "en" and said:

"His cultivation level is not inferior to mine, but the star official majors in the soul, not to mention that the national teacher has set up some insurance for my soul in the past, so I simply use the plan... The soul search talisman is a two-way street. Whoever can take the initiative can plunder the memory from the other side."

The old prisoner nodded and accepted the explanation.

As the eldest disciple of the national teacher, he knows very well that with the character of the national teacher, it is a normal operation to lay down blood for his closed disciples before he dies, to protect the soul from being hurt.

"So, he wanted to search for your soul, but in the end he was searched by you instead." The supervisor said: "What did you see?"

Ji Pingan said:
"He is indeed leading a team to secretly hunt down suspected 'resurrected' people.

This order was issued by the general of the Dadong Army Mansion, and he sent several teams in total. He led the more core one, and came straight to Yuhang. Last night, he first collected the net and arrested Xie Wensheng, but no one Before it was too late to interrogate, he bumped into me. "

The supervisor nodded, his expression became serious:
"So, it is indeed the end of the court."

All the god generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty obeyed the emperor's orders, so there was a high probability that Emperor Yuanqing ordered this matter, and the major military palaces carried it out, and the Dadong God General was only one of the executors.

Strictly speaking, this incident is not surprising. Anyone who is sitting on the throne and knows that the dead have appeared will order arrests.

Even, the movement has been a little slow.

"But there are two problems. One is that it keeps a lot of secrecy. Normally speaking, even if you want to find a reborn person, it should be the most suitable government. However, both the prefect of Yuhang and Ye Hongling are kept in the dark."

Ji Pingan said:
"Secondly, in the order Sun Xianzu received, he didn't make it clear, but the meaning conveyed was that he was responsible for the arrest and interrogation, no matter whether he was dead or alive, and even when necessary, he would rather shoot the arrester to death than fall into the prison. in the hands of other forces."

The prisoner's face changed slightly: "How could this be?"

He also immediately recognized the problem:
It's normal to search for the reborn, and it's a reasonable idea to compete with other forces, but regardless of life or status, they can be killed. This attitude is worth pondering.

It would be fine if it was an enemy from the past, but what about the masters of the five sects?
What if it was a god general of the Great Zhou Dynasty?

What if... the god emperors who have died?

Ji Pingan said:
"Sun Xianzu doesn't know much about the inside story. But judging from this order, Emperor Yuanqing doesn't seem to have any plans to recruit reborn people into his command."

This sentence is already quite euphemistic.

But it is not surprising to carefully analyze the logic:

The reason why the five major sects chose to "close in", including the Four Sacred Sects and other demon sects, is also trying to find ways to recruit people into the group.

The purpose is very clear:

In the near future, there may be great changes in Kyushu.And these reborns, as peerless geniuses without any bottlenecks in practice, can greatly increase their own strength.

In short, the benefits outweigh the drawbacks in the short term.

On the other hand, the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty was the opposite. Who could Emperor Yuanqing recruit?
The teachers of the five major sects don't need to count on it. Before the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, such masters as Curse Sha Sanren would not be willing to surrender to a later dynasty...

The gods and generals of the past dynasties are more loyal to the emperors they belong to.

But if the god emperors of the past are recruited back... You must know that the practice method of the imperial court is different from that of the sect, and it depends on the "national fortune".

In other words, Emperor Yuanqing originally enjoyed the fortune of the country alone.

If a bunch of ancestors are brought back, a group of emperors will carve up the fate of the country...instead, it will lead to a decline in the imperial court's strength, and this has not yet mentioned the absolutely sensitive issue of "power".

Simply put: the disadvantages far outweigh the benefits.

Therefore, from the perspective of Emperor Yuanqing, he wished to kill all threats in the cradle, regardless of which faction's rebirth, it would be best to kill them all.

Otherwise, whether it is the return of the ancestors or the growth of the strength of the five major sects, it will be a huge threat to the imperial power.

"Our current emperor is also a cruel person." Jian Zheng sighed softly.

Ji Pingan was not surprised:
"There is no exception to the emperors of the past and present."

The supervisor shook his head, did not delve into this topic, and asked instead:
"So, you went to see that Xie Wensheng afterwards?"

Ji Pingan nodded and said:

"He claims to be a disciple of Xiaoyao Sect, but he refuses to say which generation it is."

Xiaoyaomen... The old prisoner let out a sigh, thinking of this sect known for its "excessiveness" and "rottenness", he immediately had a clear expression.

Obviously, practitioners of this line are "well-known", and their behavior style makes the supervisor shake his head and think it is worthless.

Ji Pingan said: "I told him that he can live in the Onmyoji Academy in the future."

Is this poaching people into the Qin Tianjian camp?

The prisoner glanced at him unexpectedly, thought for a while, and said:
"it is good."

Although it is a rotten product, it is a reborn person after all, so whether it is useful or not, you can grab it first.

As for the Ministry of War...with the status of supervisor, unless Emperor Yuanqing personally ordered someone to ask for someone, the Great Eastern God General would just pretend not to see it.

At the current stage, Emperor Yuanqing will not clash with Qin Tianjian for a goal whose identity is not clear in the "stealing people" link of the major forces.

Otherwise, there is no need for the imperial court to "operate in secret".

Ji Pingan thought for a while and said:
"In addition, Xie Wensheng also provided information that may involve the Four Sages, but investigation is still needed and it cannot be confirmed."

The supervisor's eyes suddenly lit up, he looked at him for a while, then smiled and said:
"Let's talk to the old man if there is a result of this matter."

Ji Pingan asked curiously:

"Aren't you going to investigate yourself?"

The supervisor laughed and said:

"This is your training task, how can the teacher do it for you?"

Although your idiom is not suitable, it is not bad... Ji Pingan thought to himself, he is not surprised by the disciple's reaction.

If anyone in this world knows Jian Zheng best, obviously he is the only one.

This is also the reason why Ji Pingan did not choose to conceal the information. On the one hand, he was assured of the character of the senior disciple.

In addition, he has realized that at the moment when the major forces are entering the game, it is indeed difficult for him to fight alone.

Ji Ping'an was thinking about how to increase the strength of Qin Tianjian as much as possible.

Outsiders are still worried, for fear that the "Great Zhou National Teacher" will be resurrected and return to Qin Tianjian, but they don't know that the real national teacher has already returned, and began to use the identity of "Ji Ping'an" to make arrangements.

……

The two immediately agreed on the details, including the way of dealing with the funeral.

Ji Pingan has no objection to losing his vest in a limited amount, but in order to avoid trouble, he still has to hide his identity.

Therefore, when the two returned to the hall, the supervisor came forward and asked everyone present today to keep Ji Ping'an a secret.

To be on the safe side, a spell was cast secretly, and once someone had the idea of ​​telling the truth, the prison officer would respond.

As for Sun Xianzu, after thinking about it, Ji Pingan didn't do anything else.

On the one hand, the other party is a high-ranking military officer after all, and Qin Tianjian is not going to tear himself apart with the court, as long as we both know this kind of thing.

Focus on a tacit understanding.

However, according to the medical officer, the already weak martial artist was devoured by the soul-searching book, and he couldn't recover in a short time.

The Pei mother and daughter realized the depth of the water, and immediately suppressed the desire to continue exploring:
This kind of secret involving several behemoths, with the strength of the Pei family, ignorance is bliss.

Seeing that there was nothing to gain, Luan Yu was very disappointed and turned to leave.

Only Akiyama held the wine jar and finally found a chance to give it to him.

"Master said, thank you sir for your help."

Ji Ping'an raised his eyebrows, and understood the true meaning of Qi Nian's words:

He has seen the note.

Then he smiled: "Thank you Mr. Qi for me."

Immediately, he handed the wine jar to Huang He, and ordered him to take the two young girls back to Laoliu Street first, to appease the people, so as not to spread rumors.

"My lord, what about you? Aren't you going back?" Huang He asked curiously.

Ji Pingan casually found an excuse:

"I have something to discuss with the supervisor, and I will come back later."

Yu Yu looked suspicious, and instinctively felt that something was wrong, but he was afraid of the old prisoner, so he hesitated and left reluctantly.

When everyone left the government office, it was already dark.

Not only that, there were more clouds piled up in the sky, and then light rain fell down.

……

……

On a summer day, the face of a child.

Jiangnan is a rainy place, and the city has been scorching hot for several days. This refreshing drizzle accompanied by a breeze, passing through the streets and alleys, the heat suddenly disappeared.

After the night covered the city, the streets also darkened.

When Ji Pingan was holding an oil-paper umbrella, he arrived at a street in the city called "Hongfu".

From a distance, only half of the shops on both sides of the street were open, but the lanterns under the eaves were lit.

The light shines on the wet bluestone floor tiles after the rain, like a mirror.

"clatter."

Ji Ping'an's cloth shoes stepped on the puddle, splashing a splash of water.

However, if you observe carefully, you will be surprised to find that the soles of his shoes and the hem of his robe are not wet at all, and are extremely dry.

"Hongfu Lane, black gold pawn shop."

Ji Pingan stood at the street corner, his clean eyes reflecting countless drops of rain.

When he raised his head, he could see endless bright silver raindrops falling vertically in the dark sky, like countless silver needles.

Xie Wensheng told him the address, which is here.

It was less than a full day before he was arrested.

Ji Pingan was not sure whether the intelligence network of the Four Sacred Sects had reached that level, but he still came here without delay.

"Hongfu Lane, I haven't been here for many years."

Thinking in his heart, Ji Pingan walked along the cold street.

It wasn't raining heavily, but this area was already remote, so few people could be seen.

The Hongfu Lane in front of me is not much different from what I remember, but the shop has changed a lot, but Ji Pingan walked from the street to the end of the street, and he didn't see the plaque of "Black Gold Pawn Shop".

"Could it be that the address is fake?" Ji Ping'an frowned.

But what is the purpose of the fake address?

ambush?Booby?

But no matter the feedback from astrology or his sense of energy, he didn't notice the danger.

"Could it be..."

Ji Ping'an's heart moved, thinking of a possibility, he raised his hand and pinched the center of his brows, mobilizing spiritual essence to flow into his pupils.

Walking down the street again, this time, when he reached the middle of the street, he stopped.

His eyes fell on a wall between the two shops.

Originally, this place was just a masonry wall, but at this moment, it twisted and squirmed, and became translucent, revealing an old shop. The door of the shop was ajar, and a lantern was hung on the top. It is the word "black gold pawn shop".

"It really is here."

The corners of Ji Pingan's mouth curled up slightly.

This kind of concealment is a simple formation, and the purpose is often not to hide oneself, but to screen the crowd.

Ordinary people can't see through it, so they can't enter the shop.

Therefore, this is a "pawn shop" specially opened for practitioners.

Ji Pingan stepped through the wall and pushed open the half-closed carved wooden door. What came into view was a shop full of various sundries. It was more like a "hardware store" than a pawn shop.

There are two rows of shelves in the store, on which are placed all kinds of strange objects, such as swords, porcelain, jade, as well as formatted bottles and jars, and even alchemy furnaces.

There are also talismans and books in boxes, the whole hodgepodge.

Ji Ping'an could vaguely sense the aura from these things, and realized that it was more or less related to practice.

Most of them are magic tools, some are medicines, materials and other items, and there are some ancient relics whose origins are unclear.

Although most of them are rubbish, for ordinary Jianghu practitioners, they are probably already enviable and crazy wealth... Ji Pingan commented in his heart.

While putting away the oiled paper umbrella, he raised his eyes to look behind the brown counter.

Behind the counter, sat a woman dressed in a "fashionable" style.

He is slender and about thirty years old, but he is not wearing the skirt skirt that women usually see, but is wearing a dark green... cheongsam.

Yes, cheongsam!
Although the style is a bit weird, it is indeed the style of a cheongsam, and even the hair is tied into a hairstyle that is different from the current era.

At the moment, he was lying lazily halfway on a rocking chair, holding a "cigarette pouch" in his hand, and smoking lightly, but what was burning at the head of the pouch was not shredded tobacco, but a half-burned golden mushroom.

If it weren't for that mushroom's painting style is really strange, Ji Pingan looked at it suddenly, thinking that he was not in the world of fairy tales, but ran into a drama of the Republic of China.

What is in front of me is not a nun who runs a pawn shop, but a rich lady.

Ji Ping'an's eyes suddenly became strange, and the image of Jiang Jiang appeared in his mind...

Whether it is a wizard uniform or a cheongsam, they are all the "legacy" he left to the world.

Well, there is no such thing as promotion.

"This fellow daoist is unfamiliar, is he a pawn, or is he buying a treasure?"

At this time, Jiang Xiaotang took a deep breath from the cigarette pouch, and then exhaled a piece of pale golden "smoke". On his round and smooth face, a pair of misty eyes looked over calmly.

Full of air.

Ji Ping quietly looked at her for a few breaths, and said:
"Are you the shopkeeper?"

"It's a baby," Jiang Xiaotang snorted softly in his nasal cavity, raised his eyelids, his aura was strong, and he looked like a gangster overlooking a rookie:
"I know my place, but I don't know my name, so I couldn't have stumbled in here by mistake."

Ji Ping'an's eyes became more and more strange, thinking how many years had it been since he was seen with such eyes?
Seeing that he didn't speak, Jiang Xiaotang smiled, reported his family name, and said:

"The monks in the rivers and lakes need to communicate with each other, so there is the meaning of my shop. If someone sells something to me, whether it is a treasure that was stolen from a murderer or where it was stolen from, I don't care about the source. The price is right.

Similarly, if someone needs something, they can also buy it from me... Of course, if anyone thinks that he has a strong cultivation base, or has a strong background, and wants to rob by hand, he can also try.But I, Jiang Xiaotang, have never lost in these years. "

The tone is full of confidence.

Ji Ping'an is no stranger to this kind of shop in the Jianghu, and even the various sects, demon slayers, etc. also know about it.

But on the one hand, the level of items involved in this kind of shop is generally not particularly high.

In addition, those who can open this shop, no matter in terms of cultivation or background, are definitely not low in the Jianghu.

So generally speaking, the rivers and lakes and temples, as well as the five major sects, are such powerful forces that they do not interfere with each other.

"Jiang... are you related to the Wulin Jiang family?"

Ji Pingan is not familiar with the name Jiang Xiaotang, but he is sensitive to the surname:

"What does Jiang Chunqiu have to do with you?"

Jiang Xiaotang narrowed his eyes and seemed a little displeased, but he still said lightly:
"That's my grandfather."

She had reason to be upset.

For a rookie in the arena to call her grandfather by his first name, this is disrespectful even in the ruthless arena.

After all, Jiang Chunqiu is the leader of a generation of masters in the martial arts world, and he is recognized as the strongest martial artist in the world after the leader of the Four Sages.

He is also a figure who has suppressed a river and lake for many years, and even had an intersection with the first generation of God Emperor.

And the current martial arts leader is also a descendant of the Jiang family.

To be more precise, it was Jiang Xiaotang's elder brother, and this was one of the reasons why she dared to open a pawn shop in Yuhang, a core city in the south of the Yangtze River.

No one in the Jianghu would be willing to provoke the sister of the leader of the martial arts for some property.

Hmm... Is Xiao Jiang's granddaughter... That reckless man can still give birth to such a good-looking offspring. It can only be said that the genetic improvement is really powerful... Ji Ping'an was surprised.

Then some nostalgia.

Unexpectedly, that little follower back then has become a big man who is respected by everyone in the world.

I don't know if he will come back after this rebirth, but forget it, he will be an annoyance if he comes back.

Shaking his head, Ji Pingan withdrew his thoughts and said:
"My name is Xie Wensheng, and I'm here to pick up something."

The letter stated that as long as Xie Wensheng came here, he could declare his family name.

"Xie Wensheng..." As an excellent businessman, Jiang Xiaotang quickly got rid of that little discomfort, recalled it, and said:

"Remember, someone did come to me a few days ago and entrusted a letter, saying that if someone named Xie Wensheng came, I would give it to him."

It's Xin again... Are you so cautious... Ji Pingan was speechless.

Realized that in order to prevent being tracked, the Four Saints really took great pains and set up layers of transfers.

However, Jiang Xiaotang's next sentence said:
"But according to the rules, if you want to get the letter, you have to pay 500 taels of gold, or something of equivalent value. Heh, I don't do charity here. Everything has a price. If the other party didn't pay the entrustment, you have to pay money."

Cash on delivery... These four words popped up in Ji Ping'an's mind, thinking that the Four Sages were too stingy.

For a moment, he even suspected that this was a trap, just to trap Xie Wensheng's things.

Or Jiang Xiaotang made an impromptu offer.

As if seeing what he was thinking, Jiang Xiaotang said lightly:

"I'm in a long-term business, so I won't waste that little money. Otherwise, you should go first and go to the rivers and lakes to find out if my price is the same. No one can deceive you."

After finishing speaking, she seemed to feel that this stunned young man couldn't afford it, or didn't bring enough money, so she turned her head away and continued to smoke her mushroom pipe.

However, in the next second, I saw the young man in front of me think for a while, then suddenly smiled brightly, pointed at the messy pile of goods on the shelf, and said:

"Then I want to buy something, can I choose?"
