The national teacher does not practice

Chapter 331: Taoist Inspection Envoy: Imperial Master, wait a minute! ([-] words please subscribe)
Winter is cold, but the warm pavilion in Baoqingfang is as warm and soft as spring.

Master Baoqing sat down with his hips twisted. His silk pants were shorter than the clothes of this era. When he sat down, a section of his white ankles was naturally exposed.

Old Han Legs warned... Ji Ping'an glanced at her, acting like an immortal, perfectly playing the role at hand, ignoring the woman's charm.

He is an immortal with a life span of thousands of years. In the past, he deliberately restrained himself to make himself look like a young man. But now if he lets it go a little bit, his aura is far more powerful than moving mountains.

If this were a modern studio, Ji Ping'an's performance as an old man would be something that even a hundred movie stars would not be able to catch up with.

Others need to get into the role as much as possible, he just needs to be more restrained...

The leader of Baoqingfang is also constantly guessing about this person's origin.

Not many "black jade tokens" were given away in total, but because they were anonymous, those who held the jade tokens enjoyed the treatment.

So over the years it was either given away or inherited.

She was also unsure about the details of these three people.

The long-sleeved owner who was good at dancing smiled brightly:
"The Taoist priest is generous in not blaming him, but the little girl has to be sensible."

She held the black wood jade token in both hands, leaned forward with an exaggerated arc, and handed it back respectfully:

"May I ask why this distinguished guest is here?"

Wei Qingqing curled her lips and sighed in her heart that the world was declining and people's hearts were not as old as before.

He was clearly in Jianghu Trading Company, as if he were in a kiln.

Jiang Chunqiu was not surprised. He had been hanging around in the martial arts world for many years and knew that there was no simple role for Rouge Tiger in the green forest. The shop owner was just cautiously testing.

Ji Ping'an raised his hand to retrieve the token and said calmly:
"Pindao is here to replace some of the Nine Breaking Realm resources."

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect it to be so simple.

But Master Baoqingfang didn’t dare to look down upon him and blinked Kazilan’s big eyes:

"How much does the distinguished guest want to replace?"

Ji Ping'an was too lazy to talk nonsense and raised his hand to push out a piece of green talisman paper with silver paint on it like ghostly talismans.

Just this action caused the middle-aged man's expression to change drastically. The smiling master Baoqingfang also tightened his breath and gave him a look.

The middle-aged man held it up carefully, looked at it for a moment, and exhaled:
"Genuine goods, high-grade large basket. Rare item."

As he spoke, the treasure appraiser from Baoqingfang was also amazed.

The number of large urns that sit on the same level as a well can hardly exceed ten fingers in a year.

The master of Baoqingfang smiled sweetly, and the branches of flowers trembled:

"Your distinguished guest is really generous. I, Baoqingfang, can eat this big basket and exchange it for the resources you need."

Ji Pingan said:

"This is just one of them. I am planning to sell a few more items of the same quality."

After hearing these words, the two of them couldn't sit still!

The middle-year treasurer's eyes are burning, and he wants to sell several well-level resources?

This is undoubtedly big business among Jianghu trading firms.

Master Baoqingfang also looked excited, but Ji Pingan's next sentence of "redeem immediately" made her look embarrassed.

Although Baoqingfang could swallow it, it was just a store in Xu County, but it couldn't eat it.

Ji Ping'an seemed to have expected it, and said calmly:
"If it doesn't work out, forget it."

As he was about to get up, Master Baoqing stood up to stop him and said with a smile:

"The Taoist Master stayed behind. It is indeed difficult to eat everything in the shop, but there happened to be a gathering of many local forces on the 'second floor' today. Seeing that the time had just started, the little girl was watching from behind, so it was too late. Maybe it was because The little girl will be a middleman to help you get out."

Ji Ping'an smiled secretly.

I said in my heart that if my horoscope hadn't deduced it, there would be a gathering here today, and I wouldn't be in a hurry to come.

On the surface it is calm and calm:

"lead the way."

Master Baoqingfang said "Hey" diligently and led the three of them out with a smile on his face.

Walk through the corridor toward a building in the backyard, the so-called "second floor."

……

"Second floor" is not really a floor.

Rather, it is a slang term referring to a more secretive place.

Ji Ping'an and the others followed the owner to a pavilion. The middle-aged treasure appraiser next to them took out several masks:
“Guests can choose to cover their faces.”

Wei Qingqing raised her eyebrows.

Ji Ping'an's spiritual voice echoed in his ears:
"The so-called "gathering" is a way for Baoqingfang to invite some local sects, families, Qimen monks, etc. from Yuezhou to gather together from time to time to exchange resources with each other.

"The threshold is higher than the "market" and the number of people is smaller. The form is not as formal as an auction. Often on party days, major forces will bring a lot of resources to exchange. Some of them are well-established and can be considered regular customers, but there are also some In order to avoid trouble, Sanren will choose to hide their identities.”

You know quite a lot... Is the Imperial Master so down-to-earth... Wei Qingqing glanced at him, and the meaning was very clear:

Do you wear it or not?
Ji Ping'an waved his hand:
"No need."

Master Baoqingfang's eyes flashed, his expression became more respectful, and he led him into the room.

As the brown carved wooden door opened, a spacious room with a circle of mahogany chairs came into view.

About 20 people gathered in a large circle, with a round low table in the center. There was a maid accompanying them, and the brazier was burning with steam.

Seeing the master of Baoqingfang go and come back, three "newcomers" were brought in, which immediately appeared in the eyes of everyone who was trading with each other.

Then he frowned and felt confused.

At the same time, Ji Ping'an also glanced at the crowd, then paused for a moment, and was surprised to find that there was an acquaintance in the crowd.

It was actually the "King of Medicine" who we had met once in Qixia Town!
An old doctor wearing a gray robe, a long beard, and smelling of herbs sat in the banquet, with his silly short-haired disciple behind him.

At this time, I also looked over curiously.

Tsk... I met Master Tai first, and then Medicine King... I really have acquaintances everywhere in the world... Ji Ping'an sighed, but he didn't care.

I found an empty seat and sat down.

The owner of Baoqingfang, who was as graceful as a water snake with twisted waist, did not introduce the identity of Ji Pingan and others, but said with a smile:

"You guys continue."

Everyone averted their eyes and thought it was a newcomer who was late, which was not surprising.

As for face recognition... there are so many people in the world, no one can recognize them all.

"Go on, I still want to buy Qianshan Snow Lotus." The old doctor spoke first.

A slightly obese man next to Ji Ping'an glanced at the corner of his mouth and joked:
"King of Medicine, it's really hard for you to ask for such rare things every time. I think only gods have such things. Why don't you go over there and take 'Yang Long Pill' as reward. When the time comes, those people in Beijing will The powerful and powerful people here, including ministers, ministers, ministers, and relatives of the emperor must be crazy. After all, there are so many concubines, even a strong man can't deal with them..."

The rest of the people burst into laughter, and the slightly frozen atmosphere became warm again due to the newcomers.

The old doctor smiled, with lonely eyes. Over the years, he often went to various gatherings to buy medicinal materials, but rarely got what he wanted. He was used to it.

At this time, a warrior took out a serrated dark red dagger:
"Pull out a magic weapon, the five elements are fire, it can absorb the enemy's essence and blood..."

After a round of bidding, it was bought by an agent from a local martial arts family.

Next, some people came out with things to sell or wanted to buy, but almost all of them were limited to breaking nine or even nourishing qi level.

Wei Qingqing looked bored.

From her point of view, if she didn't have another mission, she felt it would be easiest to just take action and rob this group of people.

Ji Ping'an was always quiet.

After a few rounds, when everyone stopped making any noise, someone took out a fragment:
"The meteorite iron obtained by chance may be useful in refining elixirs and refining weapons."

Ji Ping'an was stunned for a moment. It turned out to be a star fragment.

The shadow of an astrolabe appeared in the depths of his pupils, and he tried to deduce the past of the seller. In the flash of light, a series of images flooded into his mind.

After a moment, he closed his eyes and sighed deeply in his heart.

There are no unexpected surprises, and the story is even too simple.

While walking around the world, the seller accidentally saw this fragment under the table corner of an old woman in a village, and faintly sensed abnormal fluctuations on it.

So I bought it with two copper coins, and when I asked about the history, it was that a few months ago, a group of children in the village had a fight, and one child had his head smashed and died.

The old woman's son went to clean up the body and happened to touch it.

I thought it was something valuable, but it turned out to be a broken "porcelain piece" of unknown texture.

Ji Ping'an felt sad. He didn't know who the owner of the fragment was, but he could deduce that he died shortly after the stars returned to their positions.

A strong man who must have left his name in history died silently in the hands of a mortal child in a weak body.

It didn't cause any waves, but how many others were killed by outsiders due to various accidents like this?
I sighed in my heart.

Ji Ping'an looked up and saw that a group of people had no interest in these inexplicable fragments. He finally spoke slowly:
"I want it. But Pindao wants to come up with something first."

Brush - everyone was attracted for a while.

I was slightly interested, but I didn't think there was anything good about these new faces.

Only Master Baoqingfang breathed heavily and looked expectant.

Immediately, what Ji Pingan took out first was not a big green basket, but a bunch of pure white lotus flowers that were only half the size of a palm and released cold air:
"300-year-old Sulian, a house with hundreds of children, is luxuriant in the cold winter. Well, the effect is only about ten times better than Qianshan Snow Lotus."

"Dangdang!"

The "Medicine King" sitting next to him suddenly bounced up, like an old cat taking a nap, and his fur suddenly exploded.The old doctor's face was full of astonishment, surprise, and almost lost his temper!
Ji Ping'an ignored him and continued to take out a dried black date:

"The black jujube tree has hundreds of trees. It is two feet long. It has a thin and soft core. It ripens once every hundred years."

"Snapped!"

A member of the big family holding a tea cup had sharp eyes, and the tea cup fell down in surprise.

Ji Ping'an took out another withered grass stalk:

"Yarrow. When it grows to 1000 years, it will produce three hundred stems. Because its roots are old, it knows good and bad times..."

This time, the rest of the party members also realized it and stood up awkwardly.

Even the well-informed Master Baoqingfang's expression changed again and again.

Watching Ji Ping'an take out new items.

Even though he was prepared, he was still shocked by Ji Pingan's generosity.

When he saw a group of party guests with red eyes, shortness of breath, and almost crazy looks, he smiled bitterly.

The eyes are extremely complicated, and at the same time, there is a faint sense of uneasiness:
Such a big shot with mysterious origins came to their small gathering to show off his treasures, which was seriously out of line!
She always felt that it was not so simple!
……

……

At the same time, in Xu County, there was a government station.

The county magistrate led several government servants to arrive in a hurry. As soon as he landed, he looked at the clerk guarding the door of the post house:
"How is it?"

The latter groveled:
"I've been waiting for a long time."

The magistrate of Xu County took a deep breath, feeling confused.

Just now, he was resting in the Yamen when someone suddenly reported that an "inspection envoy" from the state religion had arrived unexpectedly.

Arriving directly at the inn without disturbing anyone.

The magistrate of Xu County suddenly felt a needle pricking his butt and hurried over.

The inspector of the state religion... This is a figure at the level of a Taoist elder. If it corresponds to the official position setting in the imperial court.

That is the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the "governor" level who was inspected by the emperor in Beijing.

Although the state religion is not the imperial court, and the inspector is not an official position, and theoretically has no authority to govern him, but... theory is theory.

Reality is reality.

The magistrate of Xu County is the "county respecter" in the local area with his hands covering the sky, but how can he dare to be disrespectful to the inspection elders of the state religion?
"Deng, Deng, Deng," the county magistrate was panicked, quickly arranged his official robe, and then ran into the post house.I saw a Taoist sitting by the window of the posthouse, holding a document and reading it carefully:
"The immortal master of the state religion has arrived, and I am waiting for you from afar!"

heard.

The elder, who wore an apricot yellow robe and a jade crown, looked about 50 years old and had fine crow's feet at the corners of his eyes, did not answer and turned a deaf ear.

First, he read the document in his hand, then raised his eyes with a smile like the spring breeze:
"The county magistrate is too polite, but I took the liberty of coming here to disturb you."

"Don't dare, don't dare!"

The magistrate of Xu County laughed and was polite for a while, then couldn't help but ask:
"I wonder what happened when the envoy visited our county?"

The middle-aged inspector smiled and asked:
"I dare to ask the county magistrate, have there been any monks in the county causing trouble in recent days?"

The county magistrate shook his head:

"Envoy, please rest assured. Your Majesty has issued a decree to strictly control the monks in the Jianghu. The lower officials will work hard and work hard at night. Although there are many Jianghu people in Xu County, the public security is better than in previous years."

The middle-aged inspector said "Oh?" and asked with a smile:
"But why did I hear that a number of suspicious monks have entered this place recently?"

The county magistrate was shocked:

"Is this happening? Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."

Cold sweat fell from the temples.

The inspector named "Fan Ju" sighed with disappointment in his eyes.

As a Taoist elder stationed in Yuezhou, Fan Ju started the check-in mode after Xin Yaoguang issued the decree.

Constantly patrolling various places in Yuezhou, searching for traces of reborn people, suppressing and intimidating the activities of the Four Holy Sects, Human World and other forces.

It was tiring at first, but the results were pretty good.

It has also successfully provided some laid-off and re-employed social talents to Daomen.

But as the first wave passed and the reborn people were either hiding cautiously or hugging each other for warmth, Fan Ju began to have a headache.

Especially in the past month or so.

First, Fan Ju was shocked when he heard about the snow disaster in Yuhang. He realized that the master must take action and rushed towards the nearest Taoist temple.

But as soon as he arrived at the Taoist temple, he saw flying swords flying across the sky and falling to the south of Yuezhou.

Fan Ju realized that something was wrong, so he quickly changed direction and investigated the place where the flying sword fell. When he arrived, nothing was left.

Another trip was in vain, and then I learned that "evils were causing trouble." After several investigations, I learned that "the human world" was causing trouble.

Fan Ju was furious and prepared to severely crack down on the organization that was robbing people in Daomen's territory.

Unexpectedly, the monk suddenly disappeared without a trace in the human world (at this time he was summoned to the Goddess Peak)
Just when Fan Ju had no choice but to return to Yuezhou City, he learned that signs of Buddhist activities were found in the territory.

So the elder Fan Ju followed the traces all the way to Xu County without even breathing.

I thought that the county magistrate could provide some clues, but when I asked him, he didn't know. Fan Ju felt depressed and waved his hand:
"Go ahead. I'll stay in the county for a few days. I don't need to disturb others."

"As ordered." The county magistrate left uneasily.

After the others left, standing behind Fan Ju, a handsome little Taoist priest said angrily:
"Master, these officials in the imperial court are so fat and useless, but they are of no use at all. It's really abominable."

Fan Ju sighed and suddenly sighed:

"That's not necessarily true. After all, the imperial court is not on the same side as us."

The little Taoist priest said in surprise:

"Master, you mean...this county magistrate..."

Fan Ju waved his hand and said that there was no need to go into detail. Although Taoism was the state religion, there was no need to provoke Emperor Yuan Qing's sensitive nerves at this sensitive juncture.

At this time, suddenly another Taoist priest rushed back outside the door:

"Elder, we found out that not long ago, someone suspected to be a monk from the human world entered the city and headed for Baoqingfang!"

Fan Ju's elegant face suddenly had sharp eyes.

……

Baoqingfang, inside the "second floor".

After Ji Ping'an took out items one by one, blinded a group of local snakes who had never seen the world, and asked for exchange for resources.

As expected, a group of people started a frantic looting mode.

The owner of Baoqingfang was familiar with the business and immediately held a "secret shoot".

The so-called secret auction is that a group of people write their bids on paper without knowing each other, and then open it at the same time. The one with the highest bid wins.

The result was, unsurprisingly, draining the pockets of party members.

These people all carry a large amount of resources, and they have a lot of them stored in Baoqingfang. If there are not enough, their families are also close, and they can be mobilized within an hour.

Especially the "King of Medicine", who looks poor, but is actually a rich man, overwhelming others to swallow Su Lian.

I swallowed half of the black dates and raised the prices of the rest of the items.

Even so, the items displayed by Ji Ping'an were not sold out.

This was also intentional on his part. Since he wanted to spread his reputation, deliberately showing off his wealth was a simple and crude way.

When he felt that it was almost done, Ji Ping'an put away the ninth-level resources that were piled all over the table, and stood up with satisfaction:

"Since you can't afford the price, let's call it a day."

Everyone was reluctant for a while, but they were too short of money and did not dare to cause trouble on the Baoqingfang site. They also stood up one after another:

"I can't wait for long."

Master Baoqingfang smiled brightly and led everyone outside.

As a middleman, although Ji Ping'an's wooden cards are of a high level and cannot draw a commission, his fame will make future business much easier.

"I'll see off the Taoist priest!" she said with a smile.

However, Ji Pingan was in no hurry to leave.

There was one thing he hadn't picked up yet, and he planned to wait until everyone dispersed before talking alone.

But at this moment, Wei Qingqing, who was dressed as a "cold heroine", suddenly turned her head and looked outside the house.

Jiang Chunqiu, who was as dirty as a beggar, suddenly narrowed his eyes and moved his ears slightly.

Ji Ping'an was the first to stop and look at the closed courtyard door.

At this time, everyone had not walked out of the courtyard. The smile on the face of Master Baoqing, who was wearing green silk clothes, was still noticeable, but he also noticed something strange about several people.

The next second, she followed Ji Pingan's line of sight and saw that the courtyard door was suddenly blown open by a gust of cold wind, and there was a loud "bang"!
Then.

Fan Ju, who was wearing an apricot-yellow Taoist robe, a jade crown on his head, an elegant appearance, and carrying a wooden sword box on his back, walked in with a sharp flash of lightning, and the energy of the entire courtyard was instantly blocked!

Fan Ju smiled and looked at the "Taoist who moved mountains":
"Everyone, wait a minute!"
