Zhutian: My skills are not serious

"Hey, Master, look, the person in the prison car seems to be Xu Xinnian."

Just at this moment, Xu Jia Erlang was awakened by the conversation of passers-by. He turned his head and saw a woman in red clothes and carrying a gun walking with a rather sturdy monk.

Li Miaozhen? It was her. That’s right, the Flying Swallow Heroine Li Miaozhen!

He had heard from Xu Lingyue about the deeds of this woman who never went in through the front door and loved to climb over the wall. The day after Kaiguang went to Yunlu Academy to commit the crime, the two of them met once at Xu's house.

"Miss Li, save me...save me...They are going to drag me over and bury me alive. Tell them quickly, tell them what is my relationship with the Master of Opening Light?"

Li Miaozhen looked very strange: "Hey, didn't you swear in public that day that if Lingyue had an affair with him, you would not acknowledge this sister?"

"I was wrong, I was wrong, I will never dare to do it again...never dare to do it again."

The two clerks looked at the red-dressed lady and the monk, who looked like they were not easy to mess with, and then looked at the people in the prison car. After a moment of hesitation, they said, "Girl, he is really a master..."

"That's right." Li Miaozhen said, "Otherwise, why would that person hate Confucianism so much that he launched a campaign to eliminate Confucianism and killed 100,000 Confucian scholars who refused to listen and insisted on being martyred. The boy in the prison car was also one of the driving forces behind this."

The two clerks looked at each other.

"It's true..."

"You are lucky."

Li Miaozhen sighed and said to the two clerks, "Okay, leave the people to me."

The two were very unhappy because the silver they had earned was gone, but they dared not refuse to give it. After all, the idiot in the prison car had to have a good sister. Besides, if the lady in red used force, they would not be her match even if they joined together.

The clerk on the left put away his whip, quickly got out of the car, unlocked the door, and let Xu Xinnian out. Li Miaozhen wanted to go forward to talk, but just as she got closer, she smelled a strange odor. She lowered her head and found that the future prime minister who seemed to be full of lofty words and righteousness was actually frightened to death. She gave up the idea of ​​getting close to talk and retreated to the side with a look of disgust.

Monk Hengyuan was meeting Xu Xinnian for the first time, and he didn't mind his ugliness. He took out a clean long gown from the jade mirror and handed it to him: "This is my monk's gown. It may be a little big, but it's better than the scholar's gown you're wearing."

"Thank you, Master."

Xu Xinnian took it tremblingly.

Seeing that he was moving slowly, Li Miaozhen urged him, "Hurry up, Hengyuan is anxious to go back to the capital to see him."

Hengyuan said, "It won't take long."

He never imagined that the monk who caused such a stir in the capital was actually his junior fellow apprentice Henghui, whom he had been searching for for a long time. Although Taoist Jinlian and Lina were temporarily staying at Anji Hall and often went to Xu's house to meet them, he was busy making money for the children at Anji Hall and never went with them, thus missing each other.

After learning of the Buddha's death several months ago, he went to the Heavenly Realm as the sole survivor of the Qinglong Temple to participate in a Buddhist meeting hosted by Liuli Bodhisattva. He just returned recently. After arriving in Beijing, the person he was eager to meet was naturally the junior brother who had raised him since childhood.

……

At the same time, at Xu's house.

Li Ru walked out of the backyard refreshed, looking at the world with the same eyes as a young girl looking forward to a bright future. She, who never liked pets, actually touched Po's belly for the first time, causing this guy with a panda body and a loyal dog soul to begin to doubt his life.

As for the fact that she has a son who has run away from home for a long time and has not returned.

It would be enough to have a younger brother.

after?

As the saying goes, a son-in-law is half a son.

In the monk's bedroom, You Ji chased away Bai Ji, who was gossipy at a young age, and Wang Chu Pingsheng asked seriously, "You and her...did it?"

"No."

"If not, why does she look like a young girl in love?"

"I just gave her a good dream, teaching her to mistakenly believe that something happened."

"..." You Ji said: "Why bother?"

“This is doing good and accumulating virtue.”

"Do good and accumulate virtue?" You Ji couldn't understand.

"You must know that Xu Pingzhi often goes to brothels, right?"

Of course, she could not hide the fact that Xu Pingzhi rubbed grapefruit peels on his body to cover up the smell of powder. She sighed softly: "Uncle Xu Pingzhi and nephew...ah!"

Not only did she know that Xu Pingzhi loved to visit brothels, she also knew that Xu Qian'an was not much better than being an uncle. Ever since the Master of Kaiguang became the most powerful man in all of Dafeng, the two of them stood up straighter and even the Prime Minister Wang Zhenwen had to give way to them whenever they saw them.

Xu Pingzhi used to be a centurion, able to set up a small treasury to hide his private money. Now he is a captain of the Imperial Sword Guard, a person that even the royal family dare not offend. How can he be a quiet and honest man?
Of course, the two of them did not take advantage of others to bully others. At most, they had more ways to make money and went to brothels more frequently.

Chu Pingsheng said: "With what Xu Pingzhi did, he will definitely be punished someday. With Li Ru's personality, she will not let him off easily. Now she thinks she has done something out of line. Since both parties are at fault, she will choose to tolerate it."

"Is this okay?"

You Ji was defeated by his twisted logic.

"Why not? I didn't do anything to her." Chu Pingsheng thought that he had been pretty good to his father-in-law Xu Pingzhi, who was kind enough to help solve the family's hidden dangers. Look at Yuan Jing, Duan Zhengchun, and Fan Jian, so he should be content.

"Master, the Master of Consecration."

At this time, Xu Qian'an's voice was heard outside.

You Ji quickly shut up, went over to open the door, and welcomed the person into the living room.

"What do you want from me?"

Chu Pingsheng walked over and sat down opposite Xu Qian'an, waving his hand to signal You Ji to go out.

"Wang Zhenwen will be waiting for me outside the Meridian Gate after the court session ends today."

"What did you say?"

"I will carefully inquire about your attitude towards the extermination of Confucianism."

"You think I killed too many people?"

"This is not."

"It's not that he doesn't have it, it's that he doesn't dare." Chu Pingsheng said: "Do you also think this is too much?"

Xu Qian'an didn't say anything. His silence was his agreement.

"If there hadn't been the vigorous revolution in the late Qing Dynasty that pounded the heads of conservative cynics, how could there have been a new cultural movement that embraced the world's trends? The so-called reform, the first thing to change, the lives of the vested interests, is to be changed. If we don't drain the old blood that has lost its vitality, how can we talk about injecting fresh blood? What I want to do, I don't need a group of Confucian scholars who always talk about Confucius and the teachings of sages to point fingers and criticize me. Since I will be killed sooner or later, it is better to kill me early than later."

"you you……"

Late Qing Dynasty? New Culture Movement? World trend?
Xu Qian'an felt a little dizzy.

Were these words also obtained from his memory during the last dream?

"Do you think you're the only one from that world?"

Xu Qian'an was confused, his mouth opened and closed for more than ten breaths before he came to his senses and exclaimed, "You are from Earth too?"

Chu Pingsheng smiled but said nothing.

"No wonder you've been helping me."

Xu Qian'an walked up quickly, held his hand and said excitedly: "It's like fellow countrymen meeting fellow countrymen. My eyes are filled with tears. I didn't expect that I would meet my relatives in this strange world."

"Is it?"

Chu Pingsheng said: "I lied to you."

Xu Qian'an was petrified on the spot.

Chu Pingsheng added: "Reading the books of sages will not keep you warm or full. Only by transforming this world and developing so-called science and technology can the people live and work in peace and contentment. This is what you are thinking."

"..."

He did have this idea. In fact, any modern person who returns to the ancient social environment would probably have similar thoughts.

"Since you don't want to be the emperor, I will help you realize your wish." Chu Pingsheng patted his shoulder: "So I am paving the way for you to change the world. I don't care about the bad reputation, I will bear it, and you will do the reform."

Xu Qian'an was a little embarrassed: "Master, this matter is a little difficult for me."

"It's not difficult." Chu Pingsheng waved his sleeves, and a pile of books appeared on the table. Xu Qian'an looked at them carefully and his soul almost flew away.

Mathematics, Chinese, Physics, Chemistry, Natural Science...

After a while, he flipped through the contents and said with a look of resentment: "You also said that you are not from that world..."

“This is your memory.”

"I have read these books, but I returned them to the physical education teacher after graduation. I don't even remember them. How did you write them down?"

"You don't remember because your soul is not strong enough. If you advance to the first level, you will be able to remember not only the knowledge you have learned, but also the conversations you heard with your parents in the womb."

"Really?"

Xu Qian'an was confused and could hardly tell what was true and what was false.

"The Imperial College is gone. I will ask Emperor Jianyuan to build a university for you. People from the Imperial Observatory will also teach there. How about you be the first dean?"

Chu Pingsheng bewitched him, "In your words, if a man has no dreams, what is the difference between him and salted fish? Listening to music in brothels every day will be useless. Imagine that a hundred years later, when you enter a university campus, you can see your inscriptions and even sculptures and portraits. Everyone will talk about you using your precious knowledge to nourish the people and nourish the world. What a magnificent scene it will be? What Confucian saints, what Buddhas, who is as pragmatic as you?"

"..."

After a stick of incense, Xu Qian'an left with the pile of books in his arms in high spirits.

Youji walked in with Baiji.

Chu Pingsheng took a sip of tea and said, "Look, I just saved a young man who was addicted to women. Alas, I am really worried about this family."

You Ji said faintly: "You are trying to trick him into helping you with chores! Master..."

"Even though the relationship is broken, there is still room for marriage."

……

Si Tianjian.

The disappearance of the Supervisor and the death of the new Supervisor did not have much impact. This institution independent of the court remained the same as before.

For ordinary sorcerers of the Imperial Observatory, the Supervisor is a character who is only seen a few times a year. Although everyone calls him teacher, the only five people who are truly taught by the Supervisor are Sun Xuanji, Yang Qianhuan, Song Nianqing, Zhong Li, and Chu Caiwei.

However, just as a country cannot be without a ruler for a day, the position of the Director of the Imperial Observatory cannot remain vacant for long.

On this day, Sun Xuanji, Yang Qianhuan, Zhong Li, Song Nianqing and Chu Caiwei gathered together to discuss the next supervisor.

Sun Xuanji meant to ask someone to invite the monk to hear his opinion and then make a decision. Unexpectedly, he was told that this was the internal affairs of the Imperial Observatory and the five of them could just decide for themselves.

"The position of supervisor should naturally be held by Senior Brother Sun." Song Nianqing was a staunch supporter of the Second Senior Brother, because Sun Xuanji had a similar personality to him, and was the easy-going type: "In terms of cultivation, he is the highest among us."

Without waiting for Sun Xuanji to reply.

shuh...

Yang Qianhuan, who was facing away from the others, spread out his fan and said, "If you can tolerate my speaking speed, then I have no objection."

"..."

"..."

"..."

so awkward.

Speed? That's called speed? That's called stuttering.

On this point, Sun Xuanji was very self-aware: "As a supervisor, I must socialize with the outside world. I am not suitable."

"Ah..." Yang Qianhuan was very satisfied with his statement: "Senior brother is really a man of high moral character."

Just from the way he spoke, it seemed as if he had defined himself as the new supervisor, which made me angry just by looking at him.

Song Nianqing thought for a moment and said, "Senior Brother Yang, I just want to ask you, how many of the junior brothers and sisters in the Sitianjian are acquainted with you?"

"This one……"

"If you become the supervisor, won't you lose your secrecy in the future? In Xu Qian'an's words, this is called losing your dignity."

"This one……"

"So in my opinion, it would be better for Senior Sister Zhong to be the supervisor."

Sun Xuanji said: "Junior Sister Zhong... Junior Sister Zhong should be the supervisor... I... I agree."

Yang Qianhuan said, "Zhong Li is an introvert and is not suitable to be the supervisor. Junior Brother Song, you said that the junior brothers and sisters didn't recognize me, but when they saw Zhong Li, they avoided her."

"That was in the past, when Senior Sister was a fifth-rank prophet."

Chu Caiwei watched several people arguing for the position of Chief Supervisor and wondered what the point was. The position of Chief Supervisor was not a popular one, and they could not leave the capital unless absolutely necessary. They would often have to deal with the royal family and shoulder the responsibility of protecting the people. Whoever was willing to be the supervisor could do it. She would not do it even if they had to pay for it.

She took a piece of sugarcane and chewed it again and again, until her mouth was filled with sweetness.

"Don't argue. I think Caiwei is the most suitable person for the position of the director. She is familiar with all the junior brothers and sisters in the Imperial Observatory, often interacts with the royal family, socializes with officials, is cheerful and generous, and is good friends with the Grand Master of Consecration and Xu Qian'an. It would be better for her to take over the position of the director. What do you two senior brothers think?" Zhong Li said with full support and a tone that left no room for doubt.

Sun Xuanji said: "I...I...have no objection."

Song Nianqing also agreed with both hands. As long as Yang Qianhuan, the pretentious criminal, was not the warden, it would be fine.

"Uh...this..."

It was three against one, so Yang Qianhuan naturally couldn't strongly object.

Chu Caiwei didn't take their conversation seriously at all. The sugarcane residue she just swallowed almost choked her to death. After finally coughing it out, she looked up and saw four people looking at her. She embarrassedly hid the remaining half of the sugarcane behind her.

The four continued to look at her.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Song Nianqing said: "Junior sister, you will be the supervisor from now on."

"Eh?!"

……

Night watchman's office.

Li Yuchun patted his golden armor and said, "How do you like this outfit? Is it handsome?"

Xu Qian'an asked the girls in the Jiaofangsi to call him handsome guy every day. Although the three of them did not know what dialect these titles came from, it did not affect their ability to put what they learned into practice.

"Handsome, handsome."

Song Tingfeng bent his fingers and tapped the silver gong armor on Zhu Guangxiao's body: "If we wear this to the Jiaofangsi, will the girls throw themselves into our arms and offer themselves to us?"

The latter rolled his eyes at him, saying that only a fool would wear official uniform to visit a brothel.

At this time, Jiang Luzhong walked by with his men. A Yinluo was impressed and said, "It's true that when one person succeeds, the whole family will benefit."

"What? Regret it?"

"Didn't you also say that if you had known this would happen, you should have clung to Xu Qian'an so that you and I could have a share of the miraculous elixir made by Master Kaiguang?"

Jiang Luzhong turned around suddenly and glared at his two talkative subordinates.

"What is there to envy about the cultivation gained by pulling up the seedlings to help them grow?"

The two did not dare to reply, but they were both complaining in their hearts. Having said that, the level of cultivation was linked to the treatment. The difference in the amount of money received every month between the silver gong and the bronze gong, the gold gong and the silver gong was real and tangible.

In addition, who was the one who slapped his thigh after Yuan Jing died and regretted not sending warmth to Xu Qi'an when he was isolated? Wasn't it you, Jiang Jinluo?
Even if Li Yuchun, Zhu Guangxiao and Song Tingfeng did not hear clearly, they knew what the topic was about. Such remarks could be heard every day in recent days.

"Boss, ignore them and relax."

Zhu Guangxiao said later: "Jealousy can change a person beyond recognition."

"Okay, cheer up and don't embarrass me."

Of course Li Yuchun was relaxed, he was very relaxed because...

After a few breaths, he arrived at the top floor of Haoqi Tower. In front of him appeared Yang Yan, who couldn't get any water out no matter how hard he tried.

"Brother-in-law, come and help me see how to use this tea table. I remember when my adoptive father was here, it would automatically fill with water with a light press."

"It would be safer for you to ask Xu Qian'an."

Li Yuchun said this, but he still went forward as he was told. The two of them studied together and forgot about the main thing until Nangong Qianrou kicked the door open with a bang and walked in with a sullen face: "I'm waiting for you in the prison to interrogate Zhang Jinqing and Zhang Feng. Why are you studying the tea table here?"

"Well, ah, yes, let's get down to business. Business is important."

The new night watchman leader and his brother-in-law rushed out in a hurry.

Zhu Guangxiao, who witnessed this scene, poked Song Tingfeng in the back and said, "Nangong Qianrou's relationship with the master of opening the light is higher than Yang Yan's, right? Why didn't she take the top seat?"

"Hehe, who made her not sit on the master? She only needs to sit on the master, what does Yang Jinluo have to do with it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Song Tingfeng felt a murderous aura surging from behind him. He turned around and saw that it was Nangong Qianrou looking at him. He was so frightened that his body froze and he quickly grabbed his partner and ran away.

……

The West, the Heavens, Alanta.

The pillar of heaven collapsed in the battle that day, but the attributes of the Buddhist holy land remained unchanged. Although the Buddha died, his remains gave this land more vitality.

Liuli sat on an eight-level lotus platform that was spinning with brilliant light. The backrest behind her was shining with silver light, and the edge was decorated with a circle of gems. She looked dignified, compassionate and solemn.

It is really not easy to be a Bodhisattva. Just now she was in the monk's arms, doing her best to please him according to his instructions. Now she turns around and summons the great masters from the temples in various states of the Heavenly Realm to hold a Buddhist meeting and preach the Dharma.

"The Buddha of Open Heaven Light King is silver in color, with incomparable brightness. His white hair curls around the five Sumeru Mountains, and his dark eyes are as clear as the four seas. In his light there are countless millions of transformed Buddhas, and there are also countless transformed Bodhisattvas. His forty-eight vows save all living beings, and all nine grades of Buddhas are led to the other shore. Namo the Buddha of Open Heaven Light King of the Western Paradise, the great and merciful Buddha."

The monks in the hall chanted in unison: "The Buddha of Open Heaven and Light is silver in color, with incomparable brightness. His white hair curls around the five Sumeru Mountains, and his dark eyes are as clear as the four seas. In his light there are countless millions of transformed Buddhas, and there are also countless transformed Bodhisattvas. His forty-eight vows save all living beings, and all nine grades lead them to the other shore. Namo the Buddha of Open Heaven and Light, the great and merciful Buddha of the Western Paradise."

"..."

The sound of Buddhist scriptures continued, lingering in the air; the bells of the temples rang loudly, echoing throughout the mountains.

Chu Pingsheng felt that the title "Buddha of Light, the Creator of Heaven" was very appropriate. He had replaced the blood of the Heaven, so it was not an exaggeration to say that he had created the heaven. The word "King of Light" was used to describe his accomplishments in the "Light Sutra". No one would have any objection to him having the appearance of a glorious giant.

So he was very satisfied with this office romance between the secretary who had work to do and the secretary who had nothing to do.

……

Half a month later, the two princesses of Dafeng married into the celestial realm and were worshipped as Buddha mothers.

Of course, these are all honorary titles. In reality, the two of them still live in the capital, and their residence is located in Cuihu Manor, which was expanded on the basis of Linhu Cottage. Chu Pingsheng also moved out of Xu's house with Youji, Baiji, Abao and others and moved into the new home.

Another two months have passed.

In the lakeside garden, Lin'an ordered Xuanzi to invite Pingyang to visit the place, but Pingyang accompanied Princess Yu to the temple that Prince Yu used to go to for incense.

They didn't worship the consecrated Buddha statue but went to a small temple to burn incense. Lin'an was very unhappy, so he brought Gangzi to the lakeside garden to play shuttlecock. Unexpectedly, when they came out of the corridor, they saw Huaiqing sitting under the pavilion playing chess alone. He was the same as before he got married.

Lin'an was feeling depressed, so he ignored Gangzi's pulling and insisted on walking to the pavilion and sitting down.

Huaiqing glanced at her without saying anything. He continued to roll up his sleeves, press the chess pieces, and think quietly about the move.

"Hey, Huaiqing."

"Hey……"

"I'm talking to you."

Huaiqing frowned and looked over.

Lin An held his head high and puffed out his chest, pretending to be poised: "He told you, didn't he?"

"Say? What did you say?"

"Of course it's my business as the eldest wife." Lin'an became more and more arrogant, his little face raised almost to the roof.

Huaiqing smiled calmly: "I said it."

"Since that's what you said, then why don't you, a concubine, show any sign of respect when you see me, the main wife?"

The Second Princess has been suppressed by Huai Qing for so many years, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she has lived in her shadow. Now that she has got the chance, she naturally wants to show off her superior status.

"What does it mean?"

"You have to greet me, understand? It's a courtesy."

"..."

Huaiqing shook his head and didn't take her words seriously at all.

Lin An was furious and grabbed the chess pieces on the board, forcing her to look at him in the face: "In the palace, you are the elder sister, but in this house, I am the elder sister."

Huaiqing frowned, picked up the seeds and put them into the jar without adding any more. Then he stood up and left without saying a word.

Coincidentally, Chu Pingsheng accompanied the Gu tribe girl Lina and walked over from the front, blocking Huaiqing in front of the door.

"My husband, you've come just in time."

Lin'an lifted her skirt and walked quickly to him to complain: "Huaiqing doesn't know the rules, please help me teach her a lesson."

"What were you two arguing about?"

"She is a concubine, and when she saw me, the main wife, she didn't even greet me or show me respect. How rude."

Chu Pingsheng was speechless. If someone else were in Lin'an's position, he would definitely get along well with Huaiqing. After all, they were sisters from the same father and were connected by blood. He would use this to compete for favor with Youji, Yeji, Lina, Xu Lingyue, Luo Yuheng, Mu Nanzhi and others. But her status in the palace was the same as her status after she got married.

"Okay, go and have a rest, leave this to me."

Chu Pingsheng pulled Lina's hand and moved aside to allow Rong Huaiqing to pass.

Lin An was unwilling to give in and asked anxiously, "Why did you let her go?"

"Since you are the eldest wife, why not give in to her a little during special times?"

"Special occasion?"

"Huaiqing is pregnant."

"Huaiqing... is she pregnant?"

Lin'an almost bit his tongue, and Lina and Gangzi standing next to him were also confused.

"I haven't seen any movement here, why did she...get it?"

Lina admired the Second Princess very much. If it were a girl from another race like herself, she would be too embarrassed to ask questions, but she could say whatever she wanted to say with a calm face.

"Haven't you heard the saying that pregnancy makes you stupid for three years? I want to see if Huaiqing is still aloof and indifferent after having a child."

After listening to him, Lin'an's eyes suddenly brightened as bright as night stars.

"This is interesting, I want to see it too. It would be best if I could give birth to a son who would make her so angry that her mouth would be crooked and her eyes would be squinting."

Chu Pingsheng was just about to say something when he heard a slight sound in his mind.

Is the main quest of Dafeng Night Watchman World finally completed? It’s not easy!
ps: I will take a day off tomorrow. (End of this chapter)
