The national teacher does not practice

Chapter 228
It was the end of summer, and in the evening, the setting sun was extinguished little by little, and the sky of Yuhang City was covered with indigo veil.

Outside a clothing store in Nancheng, the number of customers dwindled. The shopkeeper stood behind the counter, held up the account book, and opened up the abacus. Just after typing out two pieces, he saw a young man stepping in leisurely.

"The customer wants to buy clothes?" The shopkeeper smiled.

Ji Pingan shook his head and smiled:
"Find someone."

Find someone?The shopkeeper was startled, and his smile disappeared:

"I'm afraid the guest has gone to the wrong place."

Ji Pingan said, "I'm looking for Nangong Wan."

Hearing this name, the shopkeeper's face changed, and he walked out of the counter with a respectful expression:

"What do you call the guest? I'll go and report."

Ji Pingan said casually:

"Just say to visit the landlord to discuss something in detail."

Seeing that he didn't want to announce his name, and the shopkeeper didn't force him, he summoned a clerk and told him in a low voice:
"Go to ask the master for instructions, someone wants to visit the landlord."

His voice was very small, but it was clearly heard by Ji Pingan. The man left in a hurry, and returned after a while and shook his head:

"The owner said there was no 'appointment' missing."

Tingxuelou's influence in Lanzhou is not small. When I entered the city today, I was noticed by some forces. It was not surprising to find out where I was staying, and naturally not everyone was interviewed.

The "owner" of that shop should only be the "middle level" in the sect.

Ji Pingan frowned slightly, and said:

"Just say that Li Anping is visiting."

The shopkeeper hesitated for a while, seeing that he had an extraordinary temperament, he ordered the staff to run again.

This time, not long after, the red-tasseled heroine with a high ponytail came out from the back door, her eyes lit up, she clasped her fists and said:
"Sir, you came so quickly, please follow me. The landlord is already waiting in the tea room."

Seeing this, the shopkeeper was stunned, looked at the young man in surprise, and tried his best to think about the name "Li Anping".

It's a pity that he is only a member of the stronghold and does not involve in intelligence collection. The reputation of Yijingzhai hexagram master is only spread in Yuhang's small circle and is not well known to the public.

But if you can only report one name, Hongying greets you respectfully, and the landlord sweeps the couch to greet you. His status is not simple.

Busily piled up a smile and apologized:
"Young master, don't blame me, the little ones don't know real people."

"It's okay." Ji Ping'an smiled warmly and didn't care about this little episode.

……

Following Hongying out of the back door, through a long and cramped corridor, the eyes suddenly opened up.

Behind this shop, there is a single-family house directly connected, with the scenery of Jiangnan gardens, rockery and pond water.

The window of a two-story building was open, and the setting sun shone with golden spots on it, and a beautiful figure could be seen making tea with her own hands.

When Ji Pingan stepped into the tea room, Nangong Wan stood up with her bent waist. The Longkou teapot held by her wrist was steaming, and there were seasonal melons and fruits on the table. The room was not stuffy, and an ice bucket was placed to cool down.

Nangong Wan never wore a veil, revealing a majestic and beautiful face.

Crescent eyebrows are like black, a pair of lips are extremely beautiful, with sharp edges and corners, and a pair of round and slender warrior legs, even through the sarong, it is still difficult to ignore.

He greeted him with a smile: "Ji Sichen is here, and the fluffy plants are shining."

Hongying consciously closed the door and went down to guard.

When only one man and one woman were left in the room, Ji Pingan smiled and said:

"The owner of Nangong doesn't blame me for taking the liberty to visit the door."

Nangong Wan was flattered: "Si Chen is too polite, just call me Wan'er."

It fully demonstrates the humility of a Jianghu sect facing the geniuses of the five major sects.

But you are several years older than me with this body... Ji Pingan felt a little funny, but it was up to her, Shi Shiran sat down, watching Nangong Wan humbly handing tea, his eyes flashed:
"They're all practitioners, so let's cut down on the mortal etiquette of exchanging greetings. Straight to the point, the host said before that the fact that your group came to Yuhang to arrest traitors is just a matter of convenience, and the real purpose is something else?"

Hearing this, Nangong Wan bit her lips and sighed softly:

"That's true. In fact, I came to Yuhang in a hurry this time because I got a piece of news about the opening of the 'Qianyuan Treasure House'."

Ji Ping'an's eyes were fixed, and by virtue of his energy-raising skills, he concealed a trace of astonishment in his heart:
"The Qianyuan treasure house of King Zhennan in the previous dynasty?"

Unexpectedly, after a short time, I heard this name again.

Nangong Wan nodded and said:
"Exactly. Ji Sichen has extensive knowledge and seems to know the legend about the 'Qianyuan Treasure House'."

Ji Pingan frowned and said:

"As far as I know, it's hard to tell whether this legend is true or false. For hundreds of years, many people have searched for it, but they haven't found it. Why is it suddenly rumored that it will be opened?"

If it wasn't for the huge time difference, he would have suspected that the news that he was going to reopen the treasure house had leaked.

Nangong Wan said:

"Actually, I don't know the specifics of the incident. The general situation is that around the time of the Wulin League, some forces in the rivers and lakes near Yuhang, coincidentally, got the news that at the end of this month, the Qianyuan Treasure House may reappear in the world .

Of course, if it was just like this, no one would believe it. Rumors are never lacking in Jianghu, but when someone investigates according to the clues in the rumors, they really notice something abnormal. "

"To put it simply, in the mountain range area south of Yuhang City, the spirit element of heaven and earth fluctuated slightly abnormally. All signs indicate that it is likely to be related to some kind of large-scale magic circle. Some strange people who are good at this kind of speculation guess that it is because of The Lingsu tide revived and washed the ground, breaking some hidden formations and exposing their positions.

According to the calculation of fluctuations, around the end of the month, the impact of the spirit element may cause the position of the magic circle to be exposed, and this coincides with the legend of the Qianyuan treasure house. "

Ji Pingan's heart moved, and he asked:

"Is it the local Jianghu forces who got the news at the same time? Where is the source?"

"I don't know." Nangong Wan frankly shook her head:

"Listening to Xuelou also tried to trace back, but to no avail. I understand Si Chen's thoughts. In fact, I also suspected that there may be tricks in this matter, but... it involves the Qianyuan treasure house, and the sects from other places are nothing more than us. In this way, if the local forces in Yuhang ignore it, once they really have a chance, they will regret it."

Yes.

She dare not ignore it!
Not to mention, the "chance" that may exist, as well as the large number of magic tools, gold and silver in the legendary "Qianyuan Treasure House", and even treasures such as "Secret Method of Dissolving Corpse".

As a big faction in the Jianghu, he would rather kill by mistake than let him go.

Even if it was purely out of vigilance, Nangong Wan must pay attention to this incident that happened on her own territory.

But in Ji Ping'an's mind, three words suddenly popped up:

The appearance of this organization is really too coincidental and abrupt!

To replay the event that the Emperor was kidnapped, we can see:

The world didn't know Fang Shijie's existence in advance, so would two ancient monks who had broken through the Ninth Realm concentrate on staring at a military squad, hiding behind and cutting off the beard?
After all, some are overqualified.

Even if you want to keep an eye on it, just sending one of them is enough, not to mention it is a substitute made of clay figurines... According to this logic, it is probably no coincidence that the human world appeared near Yuhang.

Moreover, the most important thing is:

As a force composed of ancient monks in the world, there is a complete chance of knowing the location and information of Qianyuan Treasure House.

Thinking in another way, as a new force, the biggest goal must be to restore cultivation.

Starting from this idea, it is logical to focus on the "Qianyuan Treasure House".

Whether it is the large number of magical artifacts buried with the King of Zhennan in the legend, or the elixir sealed in the tomb, or even the stronghold itself, it is full of temptation for a new organization.

Assuming that this matter is indeed related to it, and the news is also disseminated by this organization, what is its purpose?

After eyeing the treasure house, you can find a way to open it yourself, why leak the news?

This doubt only turned around in his mind, and Ji Pingan guessed the possibility:
cannon fodder!

Since it is a tomb, there are naturally many means of defense and killing in it, and they do exist.

Back then when he "robbed the tomb" with the God Emperor, he really went to a lot of trouble and almost lost half his life.

Therefore, from the perspective of the human world, it is very reasonable to muddy the water, attract a group of people from the rivers and lakes to be cannon fodder, and test the dangers of the tomb.

This can also explain why he only notified the Jianghu sects near Yuhang. After all, if a "big shark" is attracted, it would be bad to make wedding dresses for others.

From the perspective of Tingxuelou and other sects, it seems that there is a treasure house born at the door of their own house. Rao has doubts, but who is willing to give up?
Moreover, it will also tacitly keep it secret, suppress the news as much as possible, and reduce competitors.

Anyway, it was only a few days before the end of the month, even if the sects from other places knew about it, they would not be able to come here in time.

Of course, all his guesses are based on the fact that the mastermind behind the scenes is indeed human.

Still need to find a way to confirm.

If so...that would be interesting.

"If these people know that the real treasure house of Qianyuan has been emptied long ago, the most valuable things in it now, except for the magic circle itself, are only some resources that I put in back then. I don't know what expression it is..."

Ji Ping'an was in a complicated mood.

……

"Ji Sichen?"

In the tea room, Nangong Wan, who was sitting across from her with her long legs crossed, was distracted by the young man in front of her, so she called softly.

Ji Pingan withdrew his mind, looked at this Jianghu beauty, smiled, and said curiously:

"I probably understand what happened. However, what I'm more curious about is, why did you tell me about this? Are you afraid that I will enter the arena on behalf of Qin Tianjian and compete with you for the opportunity?"

Nangong Wan smiled bitterly:
"Si Chen, don't want to make fun of me. Now the world is in turmoil. Although the little girl is in charge of a sect, she seems to be beautiful, but she is actually a few catties, and she knows it in her heart. Just like the masters of Xinwu sects, they die at every turn, not to mention Our girl on the first floor. Regardless of whether the Qianyuan treasure house is true or not, I am afraid that there is a huge risk hidden. I heard that Xuelou is not arrogant enough to dare to swallow it... If this is the case, why not tell Si Chen and leave it to Qin Tianjian may even get a sip of soup."

In these words, the meaning of hugging the thigh is too obvious.

Ting Xuelou is not considered strong in the Central Plains martial arts.He was almost wiped out before, but he relied on Ji Pingan to survive.

Now after experiencing the disasters in Qixia Town and Sanhuang County, Nangong Wan has become more aware of the situation.

Realizing that the storm has come, Tingxuelou must rely on luck or find a backer if he wants to survive this round of turmoil in the cultivation world safely.

In the past, relying on the favor of "Xue Ji", the national teacher used to be a backer.

Now, after much deliberation, she decided to bet on Ji Ping'an and continue to hold on to Qin Tianjian's thigh, and sending this news is a "voting certificate".

Even facing a boy who is "younger" by several years, calling himself "Wan'er", serving tea in person, and even showing off his breasts and long legs... all are a kind of "efficiency" attitude.

Ji Pingan smiled and said meaningfully:

"The owner of Nangong is wise."

Immediately, he thought for a while and said:

"This matter is indeed not simple. Now there are only a few days left before the end of the month. According to what you said, some of the powers around Yuhang who got the news should have arrived."

Nangong Wan gave an "en" and said:
"Tomorrow night, several sects who have received the news will hold a gathering in the city to discuss the matter of the treasure house. If Si Chen is interested, Wan'er can go and investigate and report back to you."

Xu Shi put her thoughts through, Nangong Wan simply stopped pretending, this sentence seemed to be a subordinate attitude.

get together?

Ji Pingan's eyes flashed, and he said:

"It doesn't have to be so troublesome, I can go there myself."

He smiled:

"I also want to see with my own eyes who are ready to participate."

I was thinking of quietly opening the treasury to increase my own combat power, but I didn't expect that a large group of people would also focus on their "inheritance".

In addition to his complicated mentality, Ji Pingan also had the idea of ​​fishing, so there was no rush.

As for the items in the treasury, he wasn't worried at all whether they would be accessed first.

When he left behind in the past, in order to ensure that he was the only one who could get back the resources, he made some "small changes" to the formation of the Qianyuan Treasury with the strength of the "Shenzang" monk at his peak.

It can be said that as long as you step into the treasure house area, you will enter Ji Ping'an's home field.

"Heh, let my national teacher see who is so courageous to attack my treasure house." Ji Ping'an's eyes were indifferent.

"Go in person?" Nangong Wan was startled when she heard the words, and said obediently:
"Okay. Wan'er will make the arrangements. Why don't Si Chen change his face tomorrow night and go with me in the name of Ting Xue Lou Ke Qing?"

She heard that Xuelou is a school for women, but she didn't dare to let Ji Sichen dress up as a woman.

Fortunately, in Jianghu, Tingxuelou is not completely unwilling to be flexible, and the sect will invite some men to serve as "secretary of the sect".

Ji Pingan originally thought that he could take Jiang Jiang there incognito, but seeing Nangong Wan's earnest expression, he thought for a while, nodded and said:

"it is good."

The two agreed on a time again, and when night fell outside the window, Ji Pingan got up to say goodbye.

"Wan'er sends Ji Sichen off respectfully."

Nangong Wan got up to see them off, and when the backs disappeared, Hongying came out from the darkness, hugged her chest angrily and said:

"Lord, although we are far inferior to Qin Tianjian, but he is only a little Si Chen, even if he is better, but he is younger than me, why are you so obsequious."

She was a little annoyed.

Nangong Wan raised her hand and stroked her hair, looked at her confidants with a guilty look in her eyes, and said:

"Hongying, I know you are dissatisfied with this in your heart. You may even think that I, as the landlord, flatter a young man with a weak crown like this, which is a disgrace to the sect. It is even more serious, thinking that I am flattering like a brothel singer..."

Hongying's complexion changed, and she became anxious:

"That was not what I meant……"

Nangong Wan raised her finger, stopped her, and smiled:
"Of course I believe you, but there are so many sisters in the building, so there must be many people who would think so. But the situation is really different. I can foresee that we are already in a changing situation. The so-called fight between gods will bring disaster to Chiyu ...

If the major cultivation sects in Kyushu go to war, those of us small sects in the world must stand in line early if we want to survive.

Instead of surrendering to the tyrannical Beast Sect and dealing with those middle-aged deacons in a desperate situation, or taking refuge in the imperial court and submitting to those officials with big bellies and fat brains... Wouldn't Ji Sichen be ten thousand times better? "

Hongying was dumbfounded.

After watching her homeowner turn around and leave lonely, she was belatedly aware of what kind of invisible heavy mountain Nangong Wan was carrying on her thin shoulders.

……

……

That night, after Ji Ping'an returned to Laoliu Street, he didn't tell the rest of the matter, but only said that he had to make some preparations.

On the contrary, Huang He and Mu Yaoyao, together, prepared a table of delicious dishes to welcome the "God General Adou" into the group.

At the banquet, the three people headed by Yu Yu kept asking around the emperor, turning into a curious baby, inquiring about all kinds of gossip from the past.

Fang Shijie was right in the slightest, pointing Jiang Shan at the dinner table, spitting stars flying all over the place.

All kinds of secrets, past events, and historical details are confidently brought at your fingertips, satisfying the curiosity of the three of them, and completely conquering them, confirming the character of "General Adou".

Ji Pingan sat next to him and drank alone.

Seeing the four people quarreling and chatting under the moonlight, he sat on the rattan chair and looked up at the waning moon in the sky, as if he had returned to the past in a daze.

Before I knew it, I closed my eyes and fell asleep, and when I opened them again, it was dawn.

……

In the next day, I had nothing to do, but dealt with the final issue of Xia Ling's departure.

In the afternoon and evening, Ji Ping'an left quietly, and arrived at a certain street in the city according to the agreed place.

Sure enough, he saw a low-key and large carriage parked in the alley.

The red tasseled woman driving the car wore a straw hat, turned her head and looked at him with a straight face, and said with a little emotion:
"Get in the car."

"Hongying, your name is Ji Sichen." Nangong Wan's voice came from inside the carriage, followed by the raised curtain and a slender hand.

"It's okay, just be casual, and remember not to make a mistake later." Ji Pingan got into the carriage with a smile, his eyes lit up.

In the carriage, Nangong Wan changed into a long blue dress, the flying knife around her waist disappeared, her hair was coiled into a more complicated bun, the corner of the gauze covering her face was translucent, the curve of her jaw lined with her rouged lips The petals are looming.

The tall figure is a little cramped in the carriage, with the legs together and sideways, and there is still a faint fragrance in the air.

"Si Chen, put on this guest robe."

Nangong Wan held up the folded boxy coat with both hands, and handed it over.

Ji Pingan was not polite either, raised his hand to take it, did not take off his robe, but put it on outside, and found that it fit unexpectedly, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows:

"The owner of Nangong has a heart."

Nangong Wan smiled.

Immediately, Ji Ping'an wiped his face, and the human skin mask wriggled and turned into another face.

The carriage also drove out of the alley, and some of the disciples who were waiting outside were covered and guarded by Xuelou disciples, and headed towards the south of the city.

About an hour later, the surrounding crowd gradually thinned out, and the carriage stopped outside a cold theater.

……

Recently, I have been earnestly gaining muscle, and I feel that I am slowly gaining muscle.
