Dao fruit.

This sound is like the roar of a tiger and the roar of a dragon!

The swamp man spies jumped up, covered his ears, his face twisted.

However, the voice of the great national teacher was deliberately restrained. Although it was deafening, it was generally impacting in one direction. The spies' lack of cultivation and weak body would be affected.

"Huh? My black mist is extremely thin, and hardly emits too many fluctuations. I didn't expect to be discovered by this person! However, the heart demon is not suitable for volleying and exploring, but to find the gap in the heart and attach to it. "

Thinking about it, the smoke of the heart demon twisted for a while, and then the sound wave came, and after the bombardment, there was no black mist left.

"Huh?" After the smoke that shattered the inner demons, he let out a small gasp, "So easy? There's no counterattack at all?"

At this time, a deep, magnetic voice came——

"Master, what's going on?"

The one who spoke was the man with the jewel hanging on his forehead.

"Reporting to the second prince," Fan Seng turned around, "I noticed that there was an idea lingering around me. Someone was peeping from the side, but they were extremely weak."

The man known as the second prince wondered: "Oh? With the holy Buddha's relics to isolate the surroundings, there is still someone who can transmit thoughts in. It is not a simple person. Has the national teacher found any clues?"

"It's hard to tell anyone," Fan Seng said calmly, "But we can't stay here anymore, we have to move as soon as possible."

"The great master's words are very true." The swamp man in colorful clothes stood up, "There is another stronghold in the north of the city, which can be transferred there. I will arrange it first."

"Thank you." The monk nodded.

After the words fell, the marsh man and the spies left first.

When the two left, the second prince said: "National Master, Fat Xin is very ambitious, he said he would surrender, but he might rebel in the end."

"This old monk knows this well," Fan Seng's expression was as usual. "This time we unite the marsh people, we don't expect them to really surrender to Zanpu, but to take this opportunity to spread the brilliance of our Buddha, and then use it as a stepping stone to erode the Central Plains. When Darui worships Buddha, Zanpu will be able to fight without bloodshed rule the world!"

"This is true," the second prince heard, an imperceptible gleam flashed in his eyes. "However, I heard that there are people in China who went to the Buddhist land to learn Buddhist scriptures. Now that they have returned, they have opened a temple in Guanzhong to set up a Buddha."

"Huh!" Fan Seng snorted coldly, "It's just a group of speculators who haven't obtained the profound meaning of Buddhism."

"So that's how it is. With this, the king can rest assured." The second prince smiled slightly and said nothing.There are various thoughts in my heart.

Then, the two also walked away.

………………

"Fan people want to preach? This is not a trivial matter. They have been guarding the west for a long time. The military town that resists the Fan people is the Yongping Army. The Jiedu envoy of the Yongping Army seems to have contact with Pan Xiang. To borrow Jing Bing, in this way, there is a danger of being taken advantage of by Fan people."

Outside.Qiu Yan, who was hiding in one place, only felt that the situation was complicated.

"However, if I remind Pan Xiang, he will be suspicious instead. It is better to inform Wen Anguo of these things and let him make decisions and adjust the deployment."

After making up his mind, he held his breath and stayed silent for a while before Qiu Yan left. He first went back to Liu's old house, tidied it up, and then went to Zhang's mansion to get the package.

During the period, Mr. Zhang warmly entertained him and held a banquet. Many masters thanked Qiu Yan together.

After the lively stay, accompanied by Zhang Zhen, Qiu Yan took the Zhang family's sedan chair to the Liu family's old house.

The expensive sedan chair attracted the neighbors of the Liu family to come out to inquire.

When they saw Qiu Yan coming out of the sedan chair, the group suddenly realized.

"It's Qiu Sheng!"

"I heard from the merchants that this Qiu Sheng is a talented scholar in Jiannan, as famous as Fang Ziyan and Gu Yanzhi!"

"I was in a tavern the other day, and I heard a storyteller talking about him. They all said that this person's handwriting is very good! It can be called the best in Jiannan Dao!"

"More than that, didn't the Pan family bring back Liu Huai's sister and niece a while ago? I heard that they wanted to pick up old Liu, but old Liu had a stubborn temper and didn't agree."

"Even the Pan family has to show that Qiu Sheng face."

"Huh? The person by Qiu Yan's side looks familiar! I remembered! That's the eldest son of Master Zhang!"

……

Whispers and discussions erupted one after another.

Qiu Yan's name had spread around Liu's family as early as when the Taoist test was released, and since these days, the Wuxin City incident has also spread, and it was easier because it involved veteran talents like Fang Ziyan and Gu Yanzhi arouse the interest of others.

After coming and going, Qiu Yan's reputation became more and more popular, but it made the neighbors of the Liu family more and more frightened. Thinking that when the Liu family was in trouble, not only did he and others not lend a helping hand, but there were also people who ridiculed him, which almost made him worse.

Now, the Liu family is seeing the changing times, and it seems that they are going to develop, so these people are a little scared.

Those quick-minded people were thinking about whether to go over and get close to Qiu Yan, but before they could make up their minds, Qiu Yan had already bid farewell to Zhang Zhen, entered the house, and closed the courtyard door.

………………

"Huh? Qiu Yan, your sexuality seems to have improved."

Going back to the room, putting down the package, the ancient eight-character seal flowed out of it, let go of perception, enveloped Qiu Yan, and experienced a trace of unusual taste.

"The breath is mellow, as if it has purified the soul." It said with some uncertainty.

On the other side, the long sword flew up, shook it, and made a clanging sound: "Wrong! Qiu Yan, this is a progress in life cultivation, and the flesh and blood all over his body are faintly tense. It is obvious that he has practiced some kind of method to boil flesh and blood." .”

As he said that, he moved closer, and said to himself: "Yes, yes, if you continue to fight like this, you can practice kung fu into your muscles, bones, flesh, blood, and internal organs. You took shortcuts before, and your foundation was unstable, like a castle in the air. Powerful, but when you meet a real master, it will pale in comparison."

As soon as these words were said, Gu Zhuan's dissatisfaction was immediately aroused: "What do you know? The cultivation of xing is the foundation, and the cultivation of fate is only an auxiliary. Don’t be afraid of being unstable, it’s just a skin anyway.”

Soon, words and swords quarreled again.

Qiu Yan listened with great interest, took out a pen and paper from the package, ground the paper, and wrote down some of the conversation between the two.

As soon as he wrote this, energy and blood surged on the paper, and words full of muscles, bones, skin and flesh appeared, beating faintly, as if they had come to life, which attracted the attention of the ancient seal script and the long sword.

Then, the package shook again, and the baby ginseng crawled out, wriggled to the side of Qiu Yan's hand, and twitched twice, as if sniffing something, showing satisfied mood swings.

The ancient seal was turned one by one, and it also fell to Qiu Yan's hand, lingering on the penholder, and asked aloud: "Qiu Yan, where did you learn this character?" His immature voice trembled slightly.

The long sword fell straight down, emitting perceptual fluctuations, covering Qiu Yan's whole body inside, feeling the trembling flesh and blood on the opponent's body, and the sonorous and clear voice showed a little surprise: "What a set of exercises that tremble the flesh and blood! This set of exercises The method can mobilize tiny strength, penetrate the body, and stir the flesh and blood. As long as you persevere, you will soon be able to draw out the central soul and refine it! Where did you learn it?"

The two questions may seem different, but they ask the same thing.

Qiu Yan's set of brushwork was born out of the calligraphy practiced before, but it was really formed in the famous Sun Xing's house, and it was fully revealed in the main hall of Zhang's mansion.

Qiu Yan and Zhang Zhen rushed all the way, but they turned to visit Sun's family when they arrived in the city. The ancient seal and long sword were not brought by Qiu Yan, but were taken to the backyard by Zhang's servants.During the fierce battle in Zhang's house, although the two had senses, they didn't show up, so they missed the opportunity. Now they are surprised to see Qiu Yan's writing is full of energy and blood.

Regarding this, Qiu Yan did not intend to hide it, and said, "This set of brushwork was not taught by others, but I summed it up myself. Because it is not yet perfect, there is no name yet."

"You summed it up yourself? Is that self-created?" Gu Zhuan and Chang Jian were shocked when they heard this.

Then Gu Zhuan asked again: "You say this character is not yet perfect? ​​But you have an idea?"

Qiu Yan nodded and said: "The muscles, bones, skin and flesh are the surface of the characters, the shape and body of the characters, but the charm in the characters is only the expression of emotion, not the soul. Naturally, there are improvements. Even the shape of the characters is still there. There is room for improvement, there are various states in the world, and only by experiencing the changes in human nature can the words be continuously enriched, express the heart with words, and condense the soul."

After hearing this, Gu Zhuan remained silent for a long time, and finally said: "If the old man knows you, maybe he will become a confidant."

Qiu Yan seized the opportunity and asked, "I don't know who is the old man you are talking about?"

Gu Zhuan immediately said reflexively: "If you want to know, you have to pay a thousand gold! And talk to that Yuan Yuan to share a little bit of humanistic fire."

Qiu Yan shook his head, had no choice but to give up, quickly packed up his pen and ink, washed up, and went to sleep with the lamp on.

After a night, Qiu Yan went out unhurriedly in the morning of the next day. On the way, he clearly noticed that someone was carefully following him.

But this time, Qiu Yan didn't intend to get rid of them, but walked slowly, had breakfast in a tavern, walked around the market, picked up two old books, and finally arrived at the destination of the trip—— —

The Sun family's single courtyard.

It was the same Nanny Li who opened the door, but compared to before, this nanny was much more enthusiastic. She greeted Qiu Yan in, ordered some more tea, and praised Qiu Yan before leaving in a hurry. Not finished.

"Brother Qiu, wait a moment. My father is still in the magistrate's yamen, and he will not be back until a while." It was Sun Wei who entertained Qiu Yan, warm and thoughtful, with a hint of flattery.

Not long after, Sun Xingming returned to the yard, knew that Qiu Yan was coming, and immediately looked for him.

"Nephew came just in time. Just now at the prefect's yamen, all the adults mentioned you, and the chief examiner of the provincial examination, Mr. Qi, praised you even more."

After hearing this, Qiu Yan said unexpectedly: "Master Qi, the chief examiner? Could it be that expert in water control, Qi Zhengyuan?"

"It's this person," Sun Xingming restrained his smile, "It's only been a few days since I left the hometown test, and the imperial court has finally appointed the chief examiner of Jiannan Road. However, you have to be prepared. It may not be a good thing if he praises you now." . )
