heaven money

"Xu Fengnian, let me make this clear first. You've spent all the money you had in the past few years. Old Meng has only one life left. If you want to take it, take it. If you frown, Old Meng will take your surname!"

Xu Fengnian looked around and saw Xiao Shanzha, the timid old Mengtou, Liu Luweiganzi who loved his wife the most, Kong Bozi, and other familiar faces. They were all still there and alive.

Xu Fengnian smiled charmingly, hugged Xiao Shanzha's small body, and said loudly:

"Old Meng, look at you, your village was taken away by others, and you still pretend to be a hero in front of me. I'll fuck you, don't pretend to be stupid in front of me. Go, find a place near the water, and I'll take you to have a good meal."

Old Meng said timidly:

"Xu Fengnian, are you a constable in the government office? Are you here to take us all down?"

Xu Fengnian glared and cursed:
"Bullshit, I came here to enjoy the scenery and see if I could run into you. Before I went up the mountain, I was wondering if you were starving to death. Now I see that you are almost there. You are the boss, I am ashamed of you!"

The group of thieves under Old Mengtou's command, Luwei Ganzi, burst into laughter, which made the boss, who had no dignity to begin with, feel very embarrassed. Old Mengtou smiled awkwardly and said:
"Hey, it's hard to be a hero in this world. You're such a bad mouth, kid. Come on, let's go."

Meng Qi in the back had a complicated look on his face and sighed softly:
"They are all poor people. This Master Xu really impressed me today!"

The Prince of Beiliang, who is of noble status, doted on by his father and commands 300,000 Beiliang cavalry, can communicate with a group of poor common people on an equal footing without any disdain. How rare is this in today's feudal society?

Meng Qi understood very well that, let alone in feudal society, even in the modern society before he traveled through time, an era that advocated equality for all, those rich young masters would stay away from migrant workers, and even some so-called celebrities and experts looked down on the working class.

However, under the influence of feudal society, Xu Fengnian did it, and he did it without any affectation. Everyone could see that Xu Fengnian was laughing and playing with the others sincerely, rather than putting on a hypocritical show to win people's hearts.

······
After chatting for a while, they soon set off towards the Qingyang Palace on Mount Qingcheng.

Xu Fengnian even brought Xiao Que'er with him to Qingyang Palace to see the gods, and helped Xiao Que'er and Lao Mengtou solve their livelihood problems here.

It is said that the Zhuhe Pavilion is where cranes live permanently, but when Xu Fengnian and his party dismounted to rest they did not see even a pheasant. Instead, there were six or seven female Taoist nuns surrounding a young man with an imposing bearing. The man was wearing a Taoist robe and holding a fragrant peach wood sword in his hand. He wore the much-criticized free and easy scarf on his head, which was decorated with a Chinese cloud pattern. In particular, there were two long sword-head ribbons attached to the back of the hat, which swayed when he moved. However, the elderly Taoist priests unanimously believed that this was not solemn enough, and not every young Taoist priest had the courage to wear it. The female Taoist nuns were beautiful and charming, and they made the young Taoist priest look even more unrestrained. This handsome Taoist priest was lying on a bench in the pavilion, and several female Taoist nuns around him were peeling green sheep chestnuts and putting them into his mouth. With such a grand style of an immortal palace, wouldn't he be like a god if they were seen by Old Meng and his gang of thieves?
The young Taoist priest from Qingyang Palace was delighted when he saw Shu Xiu, but was stunned when he saw Yu Youwei in a white cat and white skirt. Then he saw Jiang Ni jumping off the carriage, and his eyes were filled with amazement. Then he saw Fu Zhenzhen, Ruan Yushu, Jiang Zhiwei and Nangong Pushe behind them, and his eyes couldn't help but reveal a fiery look.

He gently pushed the nun away, stood up, slung the peach wood sword on his waist, and walked out of Zhuhe Pavilion first. He bowed gracefully, and was very polite. He raised his head and stood still, looking at Xu Fengnian with a smile, and said slowly:
"Qingyang Palace Taoist Wu Shizhen..."

Xu Fengnian would never give the Taoist priest a chance to brag about himself, so he let Lu Qiantang lead the way and walked straight to Zhuhe Pavilion, interrupting him rudely:
"Wu Shizhen? Who is Qingcheng King Wu Lingsu to you?"

Those female Taoists originally had a lot of good feelings towards Xu Fengnian. Judging from his appearance alone, the Crown Prince, who looked nothing like Xu Xiao but was 80% similar to the princess in appearance and spirit, was a rare man with a feminine appearance. If it weren't for the past four years of traveling and sword training, which wiped off a lot of the feminine air, he would be better able to please women, and of course more presentable than Wu Shizhen. Although Xu Fengnian is now a little stronger and not as angular and feminine as before, he has a stronger feminine aura. So far, he has been outshined by the White Fox Face. Apart from that, there is really nothing else like him.

Although the ladies of Qingyang Palace were surprised by the handsomeness of the rich and handsome man in brocade clothes, they had been with Wu Shizhen for a long time and were used to his elegant conversation. They could not stand Xu Fengnian's straightforwardness. They immediately frowned. Where did this playboy come from? How dare he call the King of Qingcheng by his name? !
Wu Shizhen glanced at Lu Qiantang and Shu Xiu who were standing in a horn-like posture. He could only see that Shu Xiu was a female fox with a soft body and a charming temperament. However, Lu Qiantang's Chixia sword seemed to be heavier than ten peach wood swords combined.

Wu Shizhen did not show any panic, and still greeted him with a smile, saying calmly: "The palace master is my father."

Xu Fengnian sneered:

"Then you do have a powerful father, the King of Qingcheng. It sounds impressive. There are only two kings of different surnames in our dynasty. You are born into a good family."

The group of nuns were all furious, whispering and cursing, obviously annoyed by Xu Fengnian's words. The main person, Wu Shizhen, was worthy of being the son of the King of Qingcheng, and just chuckled and said:
"From your accent, you are from Liangzhou?"

Shang Yi naturally understood when he saw this that this was a plan to lure him and his men into the Qingyang Palace and use the Qingyang Palace's sword formation to deal with him and his men.

Although he was not afraid, he did not want this dandy Taoist to say some dirty words and pollute his ears.

Therefore, his expression darkened and he snorted coldly:

"Hmph, Wu Shizhen, don't have any evil thoughts, otherwise your father, Qingcheng King Wu Lingsu, won't be able to protect you!"

As he was speaking, the entire Qingcheng Mountain changed suddenly and became gloomy, as if it was the wrath of heaven.

Such a change immediately startled Wu Shizhen, who had evil intentions, and he stopped making the gesture of instructing the people in Qingyang Palace to set up the sword formation.

Although Wu Shizhen was a playboy, he knew that anyone who could move the celestial phenomena with just a rage was extremely extraordinary, and even his own mother was far inferior to him.

Of course, Shang Yi also knew this. Although Qingcheng Mountain seemed to be a spike planted outside Beiliang by Emperor Li Yang who sent Wu Lingsu, in fact, Qingcheng Mountain had long been controlled by the sword servant of Beiliang Princess Wu Su. The sword formations, classics and many martial arts of the Shenxiao Sect actually came from the hands of this sword servant.

Xu Fengnian, Meng Qi and others looked at Shang Yi in confusion, not understanding why Shang Yi suddenly attacked. After all, the previous time when facing the red-armored man, it was just for Jiang Zhiwei to practice.

Shang Yi said with a bad look:

"The Wu Lingsu and his son are practicing the art of dual cultivation. Fengnian, we should deal with things here quickly and leave early!"

He didn't want to stay here. Although many of the nuns in Qingyang Palace were volunteers, Shang Yi was also very clear that there must be women captured from the mountain, otherwise the gods in Qingyang Palace would not have forced Old Mengtou and others to hand over Xiao Que'er.

With Shang Yi's intimidation, Wu Shizhen immediately put away his little thoughts and even dared not look at Ruan Yushu and others.

Not only that, Shang Yi's sudden burst of aura on Qingcheng Mountain just now attracted the attention of Wu Lingsu and Zhao Yutai in Qingyang Palace.

Behind the main hall at the front gate was only a lonely bell tower, without a drum tower to contrast with it, which seemed to violate the harmony of yin and yang in Taoism. The bell tower was tall, but no huge bell was hung on it, and only some sundries were piled up on the top. At this time, a Taoist priest, who was about 30 years old, stood at the window, wearing a purple Taoist robe, standing upright like a green pine, with a faint green air flowing on his face, and he had the air of a Taoist immortal floating out of the world, with a refreshing divine light that made people forget the mundane world.

He looked outside Qingyang Palace with a horrified expression:
"Who is this person who can stir up the heavens with just one rage?!"

Then his expression changed again, and he laughed:

"With such a great master here, it would be great if this damn Divine Heaven Sword Formation was defeated and killed, so that my Qingyang Palace can save some food. The incense is not so good, and I can still slaughter a pig and eat its meat, but these guys are just gluttons who only take in and don't give out. They rely on that woman to ride on my head and shit and piss, and they really think they are the masters!"

Snapped!
A white horsetail whisk left a red mark on his face.

A cold voice sounded in his ears:

"Wu Lingsu, don't forget who gave you this damn Qingcheng King. It wasn't the emperor who said it, but me."

The Palace Master of Qingyang Palace, Wu Lingsu? After being slapped by the whisk, the King of Qingcheng did not turn his head or change color, but sneered: "Zhao Yutai, if I had predicted that I would meet you when I was young, I would not have refined the fart pill, but learned the sword. With my talent and understanding, you are no match for me."

The voice from Wu Lingsu's side was still cold and indifferent: "You only have some skills in your mouth. Apart from this, what else can you show? You are a waste who is afraid of death and pain and can only do a little bit. Can you bear the pain of sword training? I'd rather believe that you and Concubine Zheng are having an affair than believe this."

Wu Lingsu said calmly:

"You can hit people, but you can't say anything you want."

The spiritual ponytail whisk took the opportunity to slap Wu Lingsu again. Now both cheeks were equal and no one had to laugh at anyone else.

A snow-white gyrfalcon, also from Liaodong, stabbed down and pounced on Xu Fengnian. It was not the six-year-old phoenix nicknamed Xiaobai. It was slightly less intelligent, but it was also a treasure among the blue and white phoenixes. Xu Fengnian used the scabbard as a falcon stand, and the huge gyrfalcon landed without any trembling of the precious sword. Wu Shizhen, who had never practiced sword but had seen too many sword formations in action, was stunned.

Xu Fengnian reached out and touched the gyrfalcon's head, then took off a small bamboo tube tied to its claws. It was written by the patriot Li Yishan. After reading it, Xu Fengnian looked calm, raised his scabbard, and the gyrfalcon flapped its wings and flew away. Xu Fengnian put away his precious sword, turned his horse's head, and walked slowly to the crowd and said:
"Don't worry, there is no danger on Qingcheng Mountain anymore, and the things that Mr. Shang doesn't want to see will never happen!"

Shang Yi shook his head and said:
"This is the business of the Beiliang Palace. Our business building will not get involved!"

However, because of this, they no longer had the mood to visit Qingcheng Mountain. Ruan Yushu guessed Shang Yi's thoughts and followed Shang Yi to the side, no longer going to Qingyang Palace.

Xu Fengnian did not stop them. After all, there were secrets of Beiliang in Qingcheng Mountain. If Jiang Ni and others were their own people, they would know them. Although Shang Yi and others cooperated with Beiliang, they obviously would not go too deeply. It would be difficult to kill them after knowing these secrets, so it was better not to go in.

On the second day, Xu Fengnian came down the mountain with a red lacquered sword box in his hand.

There is a Daliang dragon bird in the box.

King Wu Lingsu of Qingcheng personally saw him off to Zhuhe Pavilion, where Wu Shizhen respectfully presented the three secret manuals to him with both hands.

Inside the bell tower stood Zhao Yutai, a nun from Qingcheng.

The armored maidservant really wanted to know who would hold the Daliang Dragon Sparrow Sword and play the Beauty Drum for Xiao Fengnian, whom the young lady loved the most.

In the end, Zhao Yutai did not follow Shang Yi and others to Qingzhou. After all, the Liyang royal family was keeping a close eye on Qingcheng Mountain and Beiliang. If Zhao Yutai followed them, it would expose some of Beiliang's secrets and would also make some people doubt Xu Fengnian's purpose of traveling around the world.

Looking at the wooden box in Xu Fengnian's hand, Shang Yi nodded and said:
"I didn't expect that the Northern Liang Princess's Great Liang Dragon Bird would be here. Your idea is correct. This sword contains the princess's sword intent, which will be of great help to her return!"

Xu Fengnian's eyes flashed with surprise when he heard this. He was surprised. After he came out, he did not discuss the matters about Qingcheng Mountain, Qingyang Palace and Daliang Longque with Shang Yi. He did not expect that Shang Yi actually knew about it.

At this time, Xu Fengnian was somewhat suspicious whether Shang Yi pretended to be angry yesterday and left Qingyang Palace to avoid his headache of how to conceal Beiliang's arrangements in Qingcheng Mountain.

At noon, they had a meal of wild game at the foot of Chaoyang Peak. Shang Yi was very meticulous when grilling the meat, and even used the power of heaven and earth to nourish the ingredients. It was not only delicious, but also very useful for improving energy and physical strength, which made Ruan Yushu, a little foodie, eat with relish.

Xu Fengnian came over after smelling the scent and asked curiously:
"Master Shang, how is this barbecue made? Why is it so much more fragrant than the ones we make?"

Not only Xu Fengnian was curious, Li Chungang also frequently looked towards Shang Yi.

Shang Yi smiled slightly and said:
“Everything in the world can be included in the Dao. The Dao of Sword is the Dao of Sword, whose killing power is unstoppable. The Dao of Qin is the Dao of Qin, whose melody resonates with the heaven and earth, which can help people calm down or kill people invisibly. The Dao of Wine is the Dao of Wine, which brews wine with various magical effects like elixir. The same is true for the Dao of Cooking, which draws the power of heaven and earth into the ingredients and cooks them with exquisite methods. Not only is the food delicious, but it also has a significant benefit!”

Li Chungang nodded upon hearing this and said:
"So that's how it is. When a skill is refined to the point of entering the Dao, it is no longer an ordinary skill, but the Great Dao!"

Shang Yi smiled and said:

“Senior’s words are right!”

Xu Fengnian said thoughtfully:

"The Tao has no high or low points, and all can reach the heavens!"

Li Chungang's eyes flashed with admiration and he said:

"Interesting, you are a junior who has just started practicing martial arts, but you can actually have such an understanding. You are quite smart!"

Xu Fengnian rolled his eyes and said:
"Old man, what do you mean by cleverness? It's obviously great wisdom!"

Li Chungang cast a disdainful glance and said:

"You are so wise, huh..."

Although he didn't say it out loud, it still made Xu Fengnian's blood boil!

Suddenly, there was a burst of thunder and howling from the forest above their heads, like the dying roar of a wild beast, which made everyone's scalp numb.

Shang Yi looked up and then paid no more attention to it. He knew it was a strange beast in the mountains.

However, Shang Yi and others were not very interested in this. Shang Yi already had the precious weapon Xuanniao and looked down on this exotic beast. Meng Qi and others did not have enough resources for their own growth, so where would they get the resources to raise an exotic beast?

Xu Fengnian flew into the forest, his body as nimble as a mountain rabbit. Every time he touched the ground with his toes, he could fly several feet away without any effort. Behind him, Lu Qiantang and Yang Qingfeng looked at each other in shock. This was not a feat that an ordinary warrior could do.

Meng Qi and others followed out of curiosity to see what kind of strange beast it was.

When Shu Xiu and Daji Ning Emei saw His Royal Highness, they saw a strange scene. All the ancient trees in the forest were broken, and the ground was covered with blood. Under His Royal Highness's feet was a huge beast that he had never seen before. It was covered in sharp armor and was already dead. Its skin color turned from red to black, and its abdomen was cut open. The blood-stained His Royal Highness was looking down at the two cubs in his arms that had just opened their eyes. He held one in each hand and said with a smile:

"You can call one Vajra and the other Bodhisattva."

When Xu Fengnian rushed to the place where the adult female Kui was buried, he saw the miserable scene of the Qingcheng beast dying. It was two feet long, including its tail, and weighed at least five hundred kilograms. The body of this invincible behemoth in the forest was covered with scars, and the ground was full of broken scales. Two of its six legs were cut off by a sharp weapon, which showed how tragic the previous battle was. Xu Fengnian saw that it was seriously injured, but it did not close its eyes, and he was puzzled for a moment.

Yang Qingfeng was an expert in taming animals. He rushed forward without regard for the rules, knelt down in front of the tiger, and stroked the belly of the strange beast with both hands. Xu Fengnian then noticed that the belly of the dying tiger was throbbing. Yang Qingfeng explained with a shocked face that there was a baby animal in its belly that was about to be born. Whether it lived or died after the belly was broken open was up to fate. (End of this chapter)
