Practitioner!
On the official road, upon hearing Yu Yu's answer, a group of Jianghu people headed by Lou Tingxue changed their colors slightly, looked at each other, and realized the seriousness of the matter.

"Could it be made by the Four Sages?" Mr. Pei pricked up his ears, and when he heard this, he suddenly spoke.

He thought of the team escorted by bodyguards secretly arranged by Pei Shi before, which was also attacked.

Yu Yu shook his head and said:

"It's too late for the Four Sacred Sects to escape at this time, and there is a high probability that they won't appear here."

She said hesitantly, because in the process of "asking the spirit", she saw the scene of the convoy being attacked, but it was still difficult to determine the identity of the attacker based on some fragmented "memories".

"The goods in the caravan were not taken away, so it means that they are not asking for money, could it be that they are seeking revenge? Someone is mixed in the caravan? Check the scene carefully." The veiled Louzhu listened to the instructions.

Following behind, the red tasseled heroine with a high ponytail rushed out excitedly, and exclaimed after a while:

"There's an iron cage here!"

Everyone surrounded the past, and they found the modified "prison car".

With a serious face, Yu Yu said:

"It seems that things are more complicated than we expected."

She turned her head and said to the heroines in Tingxuelou:
"After all, you are from the rivers and lakes, and it is not suitable to deal with the government. Let me handle this matter."

Everyone has no objection.

After all, because of the fact that Yu Yu led the Dazhou official army to rescue Sanhuang County, forces such as Tingxuelou knew that this not-so-intelligent girl had an extraordinary identity.

He was deeply involved with the Great Zhou court.

Coupled with Yu Yuzhan's Daoist methods, in fact, smart people have guessed her identity more or less.

It's just a tacit understanding that no one points out.

After the plague of Gu insects in Sanhuang County was over, Yu Yu followed Ji Ping'an's reminder, and went to the officers of the Wulin League and the military government respectively, and conveyed the request to destroy the iron corpses.

Knowing that the relationship is important, both sides agreed.

Yu Yu took Pei Qian and was about to return to Yuhang, when he heard that Xuelou and his party were also coming, so they got together along the way.

"If that's the case, I'll trouble Miss Yu," Ting Xuelou's long legs turned on the horse, cupping his fists:
"It's Yuhang City in front of me, so I'll leave here."

Pei Qian looked confused, thinking that everyone was going to the city, otherwise it was a bit early.

Immediately, he realized that he was worried that the two parties would enter the city together and fall into the wrong hands, which would inevitably cause trouble.

Jianghu forces, the Pei family, and a Daoist saint... It is easy to associate, the martial arts school has always been particularly sensitive to matters related to the court and the government, and instinctively avoids suspicion.

Yu Yu reservedly said "Grace" and said:
"No delivery."

After watching a group of people leave, she looked at the corpses on the ground again, with an eager look on her face:
"Heh, I finally got my saintly girl involved in a big case. I want that little star official to know that this saintly girl can also find important clues!"

……

……

call.

In the wind and lightning, Fang Shijie's body was entwined and bound by a green vine, and his whole body was floating in mid-air, showing a "prone" posture. Ji Pingan held his belt and ran all the way.

With Ji Ping'an's current cultivation base, there is no problem in using escapism for short distances, but if the distance is too long, it will still consume a lot of spiritual energy.

Therefore, he chose a method similar to "light kung fu" to hurry on his way.

If you look down from mid-air, the two of them are like wild geese flying up and down on the ground.

Every time the boots took a step down, the soil rose up by itself, lightly supporting the soles of the shoes, and every time Ji Pingan rose and fell, there was a distance of nearly ten feet.

"Hey, Yuhang City is ahead, are you going to take me into the city?" Fang Shijie opened his mouth against the wind and roared.

A mouth was stretched by the wind into an irregular 'O' shape, like the opening of a sack bulging in the wind.

Ji Pingan held the child in his right hand and did not answer.

Fang Shijie rolled his eyes and suddenly shouted:
"You are a star officer, right?"

Ji Ping'an finally slowed down a little, turned his head to look at him with a half-smile, and asked:
"why would you say so?"

When Fang Shijie saw the mysterious person talking to him, he couldn't help being shocked, and said hesitantly:
"The method you used to kill the two 'human world' monks before seemed to be the five elements of the Taoist sect, but this...human eyes are different, and you can see the difference between it and the earthly practice of the Taoist sect. If there is no accident, it is the method of 'roofing the earth'. The vines bound to my body are still dissipating starlight. This is the method of controlling the wood...

They are all typical star official methods.In particular, you took the initiative to repel the 'human world', but instead of arresting me, you turned back to the city. This shows that you think the city is safer, and monks in the human world dare not step in...

So what gave you confidence?After much deliberation, there is only one truth, you were born in the Qin Tianjian, so this trip, is it to take me to the Onmyoji Academy?Meet the supervisor? "

After some analysis, Fang Shijie wanted to applaud himself, applauding for his calmness and clear thinking in the face of danger.

He had already begun to imagining that the star official looked "shocked and shocked", just like when Huoju and Bingpo were identified.

However, facing his analysis, the "mysterious man" galloping in the wind only replied:
"Speak louder, I can't hear you clearly."

"..."

Fang Shijie's chest heaved, he opened his throat helplessly, and Yingfeng repeated it loudly.

Only then did Ji Pingan let out an "oh" and said:
"and then?"

Fang Shijie almost turned his back in one breath, his face was solemn, and realized that his tricks of talking had failed, he shouted:
"So and so, do you admit it? You are indeed a disciple sent by the supervisor, right? You noticed the whereabouts of the people from the military mansion, so you followed behind?"

Ji Pingan said with a deep smile, "It's up to you."

Fang Shijie exhaled silently when he heard the words, and the tension and worry lingering in his heart eased slightly.

In his opinion, the other party's identity was undoubtedly exposed, and the dead duck's mouth was strong.

And Yin Yang Academy happened to be his destination.

Although there were many twists and turns in the middle, and the expected script was ruined to pieces, the result seemed to be the same.

No... If you are a majestic emperor, if you slip past like this, how decent is it?
But identify?That's not right... Fang Shijie rolled his eyes, suddenly his face darkened, and his voice was vicissitudes and indifference:

"Do you know who I am?"

Ji Pingan asked curiously, "Who are you?"

Immediately, the corners of the mouth of the first God Emperor, who was lifted in mid-air, was short and fat, and maintained the posture of "turtle paddling water", twitched his mouth, leaking his domineering aura, and chanted:

"In the five hundred and autumn years since I attained Taoism, I have never taken a flying sword to take a human head. The emperor has not had a celestial talisman, and the goods are black and gold."

Ji Pingan turned pale with shock: "You... are you..."

Fang Shijie nodded proudly and said:
"This seat is the first national teacher of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the founder of the Star Official Path. If you can see your national teacher, why don't you let go?!"

"..." Ji Pingan fell silent immediately.

The people also stopped from running, and the two stood on a dirt slope outside Yuhang City, staring wide-eyed.

A gust of mountain wind blew by.

Ji Pingan's slightly shifted voice came from the bamboo hat:

"How... how do you prove it?"

Being carried away, Fang Shijie, who tried his best to raise his head to maintain a majestic posture, said lightly:

"You don't have to believe it, wait for my national teacher to meet my incompetent disciple, and he will know it as soon as he sees it."

After finishing speaking, he stared at the other party with some trepidation, thinking that as long as this little star official is not stupid, he should let go, respectfully, please forgive me, right?

However, Ji Pingan was silent for a while, and suddenly smiled and said:
"Don't bother the supervisor."

After finishing speaking, he stomped towards the ground abruptly, and the earth-yellow starlight rose up, engulfing the two of them.

Not long after, in an alley in Yuhang City.

Several children were excitedly pushing a wheel to play, and suddenly they were horrified to find that the moss-covered bricks and stones suddenly arched in front, as if something was about to emerge from the ground, and they were frightened and scattered.

Immediately, the bricks and stones rose like a fountain, and the two of them walked out wrapped in earthy yellow light.

Ji Pingan raised his hand to stop the wooden wheel that was rolling towards him, stepped on it, and the bricks and stones behind him returned to their original state.

He picked up the wheel with his backhand, and the dry wood was stained with greenery and sprouted. Ji Pingan casually broke the wheel into several bracelets and anklets.

With a flick of his fingers, Fang Shijie's wrist and ankle were respectively imprisoned.

A loose hand.

The little fat pier fell to the ground with an "Ouch", and looked about to fall, but his hands and feet moved on their own, and he turned somersault and stood firmly.

Ji Pingan smiled, wearing a bamboo hat, swaying forward with his hands behind his back, waving his fingers behind his back like a folk craftsman who controls a puppet show in a market.

Fang Shijie discovered to his horror that he had also become a "marionette", his limbs were being manipulated involuntarily, and he followed the "mysterious man" step by step.

He said angrily: "How dare you deceive your master and destroy your ancestors?"

My heart is beating wildly:
Could it be that I guessed wrong?The other party is not an orthodox star official at all?In other words, there is something hidden in it, which caused the identity of the Grand Master of Zhou to lose his majesty in front of the "star officials"?

National teacher, national teacher, you have made me miserable... The first god emperor sighed in his heart.

Ji Pingan didn't look back, but said lightly:
"Young Master Fang is still calm and composed when facing the Dongxuan monster, so why pretend to be angry now?"

Young Master Fang... He really knows my identity in this life... The Emperor was startled and closed his mouth wisely.

Once back and forth, it was already past noon in the city, and the streets were full of people.

Fang Shijie originally thought that the other party's attire, especially the face shrouded in black mist, would inevitably be watched by the crowd, but in fact, the people along the way seemed to have not seen the two of them.

Seeing this, Fang Shijie had no choice but to accept his fate and follow him silently.

The two turned left and right, but they were farther and farther away from the Onmyoji Academy.

Finally, after stepping over a small stone bridge, the two stopped outside the door of an old inn in a slightly remote old street.

The inn is not big, just a two-story building with mottled paint, in a style of "quiet amidst the noise".

The steps at the door were polished and shiny, and the sign above the head was blown by the wind and rain, with the four characters "Fulai Inn" written on it.

Fang Shijie froze for a moment, feeling familiar.

However, Ji Pingan had already stepped into the door, threw a piece of silver at the shopkeeper who raised his head at the counter, and said:
"Room No. [-], Jiazi, no overnight stay, only an hour's rest, you will collect the money, and an extra table of wine and food will be delivered to the room. Is this business possible?"

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, but maybe he was old and used to seeing strange customers, so he smiled and said:

"Do it, do it. Come on, lead the guests up."

Fang Shijie was stunned, only feeling familiar.

The two stepped on the wooden stairs to the second floor, and entered "Jiazi No. [-]"... The inn is not big, and there are not many rooms. .

The room is not big, and it looks cramped when two people are together.

Fortunately, besides the bed, a table was placed by the window.

Ji Pingan raised his hand and pushed it away. Outside, the trees were shaded, the river meandered, and the stone bridge loomed. It was a street-facing location.

Fang Shijie stood still in the room with a dazed look in his eyes.

Soon, a few simple dishes and wine were brought up and placed on the square table by the window. The waiter made a "please" gesture, closed the door and went downstairs with the tray.

Ji Pingan sat alone at one end, hooking his fingers, while Fang Shijie was manipulated to sit on the opposite bench.

The wine jug on the table hangs by itself, as if being held by an invisible hand, and fills two glasses respectively.

Ji Pingan picked up his own wine cup, didn't drink it, and used chopsticks to point to several dishes on the table one by one:

"Vegetables, meat, fish, eggs... all are available. Does 'National Teacher' look familiar?"

Fang Shijie was stunned for a moment, only to realize that the other party was calling him, he quickly pulled away from the strange emotions, frowned and said:

"What exactly do you want to say? Don't say it, I'm hungry after a long trip, so I came here to rest and eat."

Ji Pingan put down his chopsticks and said with a smile:

"It's been too long, you may not remember 'Master National Teacher', let me remind you, this restaurant is the property of the Yuhang Pei family, well, to be precise, it is the ancestral property."

"Ms. Pei..." Fang Shijie snorted.

Ji Pingan continued:

"It is said that the origin of the Yuhang Pei family's prosperity was a woman named 'Pei Sanniang' in the past. She originally opened a shop in a small town in Lanzhou, and then moved to Yuhang. After she came, she had no other business. He only knew how to run an inn, so he used the money he saved to open a small inn with the same name as Fulai."

The fog in Fang Shijie's mind suddenly split, and the sense of familiarity became clear. He stared at the mysterious man and said hesitantly:
"This is the place?"

"En," Ji Pingan nodded and sighed:

"After the Pei family made a fortune, they opened bigger shops in better locations, and the business increased, which is no longer the same as before. Therefore, few people still remember the small inn where Pei Sanniang started.

But the Pei family has kept it. For four or five hundred years, the wind and rain come and go. The Qiantang in the past has become Yuhang. The streets in the city have been turned over several times, and the city walls have been built several times. Few people noticed that this small inn was still open all the time. "

Fang Shijie was stunned for a moment, and his tone became complicated:
"No wonder it looks old."

"It has been refurbished countless times," Ji Pingan said:

"Otherwise, how can it survive 500 years of wind, 500 years of sun, and 500 years of rain?"

Fang Shijie suddenly said:

"Looking at the business...not very good either."

Ji Pingan nodded:
"As far as I know, it has been losing money. But it has been open. When I came to Yuhang, I was wandering around the city before I learned that this store is still there. It is said that Pei Sanniang added it to the tail of Pei's ancestral precepts before she died. One rule is to keep this ancestral property, this piece of land, this shop, no one can sell it."

Fang Shijie said:
"Based on Pei's family wealth, these hundreds of years have been the worst times, so it shouldn't be so short of such a shop."

Ji Pingan said:
"Pei Sanniang came from a difficult time, and most of them are worried about the windfall. I probably think that one day, all the family business bestowed by God will be taken back, and the descendants will still have this small inn to make a living. live to the next prosperous age."

Fang Shijie shook his head and said:

"The wealth and splendor of the Pei family was given by me... the national teacher and the emperor. Who dares to take it back?"

Ji Pingan said:
"Death is like a lamp going out. Doesn't Master National Teacher understand this truth?"

Fang Shijie was stung by these words.

As the emperor, how could he not understand?

It was precisely because he understood so well that he did not choose to disclose his identity and directly kill the route to the capital of God.

Xiao Pangdun sat on the bench, his eyes lingered over the food and drink on the table, and then fixed on the face of the mysterious star official who was masked in a bamboo hat, and he said every word:
"So, you took the trouble to bring me here just for nostalgia?"

Ji Pingan smiled and said:
"Of course not. I just want to verify the identity of the young master below."

Fang Shijie frowned: "If you have something to say, let it go."

Ji Pingan asked with a smile:

"Since you call yourself a 'National Teacher', you must know the reason why the Pei family became famous in the first place."

That's it?

Fang Shijie raised his eyebrows and said to himself:

"That's natural. In the past... when the national teacher and the emperor were not in power, they had received Pei Sanniang's kindness, and they should repay it."

He probably figured out what the star official was thinking, and wanted to confirm his identity through these allusions and old stories.

Ji Pingan shook his head and said:
"As far as I know, the truth seems to be a story about eating a king's meal and being detained."

Fang Shijie felt guilty at first, and then frowned, surprised that the star official even knew this.

Ji Pingan continued:

"Back then, the God Emperor and the Imperial Master washed the dishes in the cold winter, but they couldn't pay off the debt. Before leaving, the stubborn God Emperor insisted on writing an IOU."

The expression on Fang Shijie's face faded, and an indescribable strange feeling came to his heart. The person in front of him seemed to know too many secrets.

Ji Pingan said with emotion:

"That IOU has gone through decades of war. The debt owed for a meal at the beginning has accumulated to an astonishing figure according to the interest. Of course, you can also renege on the debt, but this is indeed the reason why Sanniang is willing to accept the imperial court. She has never been a greedy woman, if it is just giving and rewarding, she may not accept it.

In fact, when the imperial court played drums and gongs and the magistrate sent the land deed and house deed in person, he was indeed shut down.Later, the national teacher went there in person, settled the bill, and persuaded her to accept the gift and redeem the IOU at the same time. "

Fang Shijie's heartbeat was beating like a drum, and he faintly realized something. His voice was dry, he leaned forward, and said affirmatively:
"The Emperor doesn't know about this."

"That's right, at the beginning of the establishment of the dynasty, there were so many things going on every day, how could anyone pay attention to these trivial matters, just like the emperor would not know that this small inn is still there." Ji Pingan said with emotion.

Then, reaching into his bosom, he took out a yellowish-colored IOU from the kit bag, which was five hundred years old but still intact, and gently pushed it in front of the latter.

Ji Pingan sighed softly, smiled and said:
"But the God Emperor must still recognize his name."

The pupils of the first emperor shrank suddenly, as if struck by lightning, he suddenly raised his head and stared at the mysterious person opposite:

"You...how could you have..."

After speaking halfway, he suddenly got stuck.

I saw the mysterious man took off his bamboo hat, revealing a familiar yet unfamiliar face:

"Long time no see, old friend."

……

……

Pei's mansion.

In the afternoon, the late summer sun is no longer harsh, but it still has a lingering power.

When Pei Qiuwei, who was gentle and sweet-looking, was wearing a skirt, walked along the corridor in small steps, and arrived outside the incense hall of his home, he saw his mother's personal servant girl bowing and saluting, making a gesture to speak.

But Pei Qiuwei raised his hand to stop it.

The girl waved her hand and drove the servants away, then raised her lotus feet, stepped over the high threshold, and looked at the mother who was kneeling alone in front of the altar of the gods and Buddhas in the incense hall.
