Becoming a Saint by Leisure Reading - Chapter 451

[Chapter 445 The first time I heard about the monster clan, the routine reappeared]
the mighty Qingbo River. After traveling thousands of miles, it seemed that I had grown from a vigorous young man to a steady man. I slowly bypassed Lin’an City in Yuzhou and continued eastward. go.
The banks of the river are full of emerald green willows. In the early spring of February at this time, if it were in the northern region, the ice and snow would still be melting. But in Lin’an City, deep in the southern region, grass has already grown and warblers are flying. A gust of river wind blows, and the willows flutter, just like the waists and limbs of countless beautiful women swaying, which is too beautiful to behold. He Zhizhang, a great Confucian in the former dynasty, once saw the scene and wrote the eternal sentence “I don’t know who will cut the thin leaves, and the spring breeze in February is like scissors”.
Lin’an City was built around a lake, and it is said that it is related to the first woman of the human race, the semi-holy woman. At that time, Fuhao chased the Yaozu so far, and the Yaozu poisoned the Qingbo River, wanting to poison and kill the tribe’s army. Fu Hao moved tens of thousands of miles away to the Rootless Lake in the East China Sea, and broke through the vicious attack of the monster clan. Thousands of years have passed, Fuhao has passed away, and only a Pinghu lake remains here. Because Hanzhou had not yet been conquered at that time, Yuzhou was the extreme western territory of the human race, so it was named West Lake.
At this time, the sky was just right, and there was a lake-watching tower beside the West Lake, and the lake-watching tower was crowded with people. No matter whether it is a wealthy businessman in rich clothes, or a peddler in coarse linen, from an octogenarian with white hair, to a young boy with yellow hair, all of them listened intently to the thin old man on the stage. The thin old man looked fifty or sixty years old, his face was rosy, and his blue cloth robe had long been washed and faded. He said clearly in his mouth—
“Young people are the most heroic, and they find a new way to bloom. If it weren’t for the luck of the human race, How can Chen Luo save Wan’s family!”
The old man who spoke was full of anger, and then said: “This doggerel is about the fact that the lord of Dongcang City, Chen Wuhou, opened up the martial arts. Let’s continue the book, that Chen Wuhou left Beijing to go north. People sent each other off, and the three first-grade Confucian scholars each gave eight hundred miles of spring breeze, eight hundred miles of light, and eight hundred miles of smooth roads. Let’s not mention it for the time being. I only said that Chen Wuhou was walking on the canal at night and saw the lights of the boats swaying. I am determined to write a poem about fishing lanterns.”
“Seeing fishing lanterns in the dark of the moon, a little firefly in the solitary light. Gentle wind gathers waves, scattered into a river full of stars.”
“Nowadays, martial arts halls are all over the world, martial arts schools are fighting each other, and countless people who can’t ‘understand’ their talents have embarked on the road of martial artists. It really is full of stars.”
“Today, it is “Red Dust Record” The second volume, I will explain it to you next time.”
“A good young man shows off his power in the Northern Territory, and a handsome Marquis Dong Cang stands up!”
Saying that, the thin old man clapped Xingmu in his hand heavily, and the good show began.
“Red Dust Records”, issued by King Jing’s Mansion, is a collection of anecdotes about Wuhou Chen Luo’s life and all current works, and was commented by Wenchang Pavilion as a must-read book for martial arts practitioners.
Sitting under the stage, Chen Luo listened with relish to the old man on the stage talking about his glorious past. It was like drinking a big iced drink in summer. It was refreshing, but occasionally wrinkled Brow——
“Huh? I have done this before?”
“Huh? When was I besieged by ten barbarians?” “Huh? When did the barbarian
women fall in love with me?”
“Hmm… I know , It’s artistic processing.”
Jin Guagua sat on the table and looked at Chen Luo with contempt: How boring, he came to hear about his book.
Chen Luo beckoned, and immediately Wanghulou’s waiter came over. Chen Luo took out a bank note from his pocket and placed it lightly on the tray in the second hand: “The old man’s book is very good. Reward.”
“Thank you, sir!” Xiao Er immediately thanked, and Chen Luo added, “I will invite the old gentleman to live by the lake later.”
Xiao Er showed a embarrassed look on his face at this time: “This Young master, the old man only tells books and never sees customers, this is the rule.”
“It’s okay.” Chen Luo waved his hand, took out a greeting card from his bosom, and put it on the tray, “Old man saw this post, Naturally, you will see me.”
Xiaoer had a skeptical expression, but since the guest said so, he had no choice but to agree. Chen Luo glanced at the stage again, then got up and left.
…
Back at the lakeside residence, Chen Luo picked up the map left by the teacher and looked at it again. In the map, Bodhi Land is located in the south of Yuzhou, which is why he came all the way to Lin’an City.
At this time, Chen Luo had already parted with his big brother Lang Feixian for three days. According to Lang Feixian’s original intention, he wanted to escort Chen Luo all the way into the demon clan, and would not return to Lingzhou Bamboo Forest until he met the third senior brother, but Chen Luo made some calculations. Although the time is not effective, but the strength is not inferior to the mountain guard of the first rank, plus the mastiff Lingling whose combat power is comparable to the second rank, the three Daojun-level bean commanders who have no merit but always have hard work, and there are still three in their hands. Holding the map of the seal teacher’s all-out attack——In
the case of the elder brother, it seems that one more of him is not much, and one less of him is not much.
So he resolutely persuaded Huilang Feixian to return to the Bamboo Forest to sit in town, the main reason is to quickly restore his cultivation base, and now he is only at the second rank, so what can he do!
Didn’t you hear what the second senior sister said, the petals were all knocked off.
After persuading the elder brother to return, Chen Luo was no longer in the car. After changing his appearance a little, Mastiff Lingling took him for a long time, and finally landed in Lin’an City.
Thousands of miles south of Lin’an City is a grand pass. In the past, when Emperor Lin was in power, the human race and the monster race cooperated happily, and it was called “Friendship Pass”. Later, when Emperor Wu ascended the throne, he directly changed its name to “Zhennan Pass”.
After leaving the customs, it is regarded as the boundary of the monster race, and the human race calls it the Southern Wilderness.
The so-called do as the Romans do, if you want to join the Yaozu, you must have some understanding of the Yaozu. It’s a pity that Mastiff Lingling is an East sea demon, and Jin Guagua grew up in Fuyun Mountain, so it is necessary to find an expert who is familiar with the monster race to give advice. Originally, Chen Luo wanted to visit the Great Confucian of Ziyang Academy in Lin’an City, but when he passed by Wanghu Tower, he happened to see a storytelling sign outside the building, so he changed his mind.
It wasn’t because I saw the content of the story that I ran in to listen to the book.
While Chen Luo was thinking about it, Mastiff Lingling ran in and said, “Master, the old man is here.”
Chen Luo smiled happily, put away the map, got up and walked towards the living room.
…
Chen Luo walked into the living room. The old man who was storytelling on the stage before saw Chen Luo, he was taken aback for a moment, then he stood up and saluted with doubts on his face, “Who is your Excellency? Why is there a greeting card for my sworn brother Nanyuanxi?” ?”
Chen Luo laughed, wiped his face, removed the illusion of disguise on his face, and said with a smile: “Sang Gong, don’t come here without any harm!”
Who do you think this storyteller is? It was Mr. Sang Luosang who was as famous as Nanyuan Xi back then, but later determined to be a storyteller for the world and left the capital.
“Master Hou!” Sang Luo was taken aback, then beamed with joy, bowed quickly and bowed, “Sang Luo has seen Lord Hou!”
“Get up, get up.” Chen Luo stretched out his hand to support Sang Luo, guiding Sang Luo to sit down, Only then did he sit in the main seat, and said with a light smile, “I didn’t expect to meet again in Lin’an after parting with Zhongjing. It’s really a fate.
” Master is in some trouble, can’t he reveal his whereabouts?”
Sang Luo is an old man, seeing Chen Luo Yirong, and using Nanyuan Xi’s greeting card to find him, he naturally understood something.
“It can’t be called trouble.” Chen Luo waved his hand and said casually, “It’s just for convenience.”
Sang Luo originally asked casually, but seeing that Chen Luo didn’t want to say more, he didn’t ask anymore, and secretly swore in his heart that he wouldn’t make today Seeing the rumors about Chen Luo, he cupped his hands and said, “I don’t know where the little old man can serve Lord Hou?”
He didn’t think that Chen Luo specially invited him to express his friendship.
Chen Luo was also polite, nodded and said: “I have some things to deal with, and I need to go to the Yaozu. I heard from Nansheng that Mr. Sang traveled to the Southern Wilderness in his early years, so I want to ask some customs of the Yaozu.
” It’s better to use familiarity, the less people know about the news of his trip to the Southern Wilderness, the better. On the way to Ziyang Academy, Chen Luo saw Sang Luo’s name, and remembered what Nan Sheng said about the past, so he changed his mind and planned to visit Sang Luo first.
Again, I didn’t go in to listen to the book because I read the content of the book.
“Master Hou is serious.” Sang Luo waved his hands quickly, and said, “My teacher, Lord Lu, loves to educate the most in his life. He really went deep into the Southern Wilderness, passed on the etiquette of the human race, and enlightened the monster race. The little old man is lucky to accompany you.” The
enlightenment of the demon race is not What a strange thing, most of the supporters of the human race among the monster races are also from this group of monster races educated by the human race.
Speaking of this, there is a strange place. Human races have very low reading talent, and monster races are even lower, but no matter how low it is, there are still big monsters in the three avenues of Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism. Correspondingly, martial art is exclusive to the human race, not to mention the pure-blooded demon race, even half-demons cannot practice it.
It is precisely because of this that Chen Luo’s name is spread among the upper echelons of the monster clan, but not well-known among the monster clan as a whole.
Sang Luo considered for a moment, and then said: “Nanhuang is called the Hundred Thousand Mountains by the monster clan. Although they are collectively called the same clan, they are not of the same family. Some people in the past said that the monster clan has three thousand three with names, and mountains without names. “”
“The taboos of various ethnic groups can be talked about for three days and three nights. This Lord Hou can understand by himself. The little old man will talk about the main situation first.”
“About five thousand years ago, a demon clan was born. The stunning demon emperor returned to his ancestors and became a unicorn, unifying the demon clan. After the Qilin demon emperor established the Southern Wilderness Demon Kingdom, he disappeared out of thin air in one day. The Southern Wilderness Demon Kingdom fell apart in an instant, splitting into countless demon kingdoms, large and small. The big demon kingdom is half the size of Daxuan, while the small demon kingdom is nothing more than a government.”
“At the end of the fight, a hundred kingdoms of the demon clan were formed with the ten strongest races as the core. There was a truce among the demon clan. The Hall of Saints was established, representing the will of the entire Yaozu.”
“The Yaozu also began to learn from the human race’s system, established an administrative system, and even invited great scholars from the human race to the Southern Wilderness, and applied to send the blood of the Yaozu to study in the human race.”
“Once At the most exaggerated time, many monster clans also sent a large number of monster clan women to the human race to seek seeds, especially the fox clan. These monster clan women will be brought back as soon as they become pregnant, and if they give birth to a half-demon queen, if they awaken their talents, They focused on training, and the history of the human race was called “the rule of the half-demon”. This also laid the foundation for the human race’s great Confucianism to transform the demon race in the future.”
“However, the monster race is a multi-racial alliance. Among them, there are those who are friendly to the human race, and naturally there are those who hate or even hate the human race.
” ?”
Chen Luo hesitated for a moment, then replied: “Go south about 1,200 miles, and then go east about 300 miles. Which demon country is Mr. Sang in?”
When Sang Luo heard Chen Luo’s words, he pondered slightly, A strange look appeared on his face: “The hometown of the swan geese?”
“Mr. Sang knows?” Chen Luo was a little surprised.
Sang Luo nodded and said with a smile: “Everyone in Lin’an City who has been out of Zhennan Pass knows that the story of Princess Roufu is still widely spread.”
“But it’s not a good place.”
Chen Luo was surprised , quickly asked: “Why did you say that?”
Sang Luo coughed, and explained seriously: “This place is a lake, known as the Eight Hundred Li Jingze Lake, which has always been the territory of the Hongyan clan.
” The Peng Clan raided Jingze Lake, and there are some doubts that no one knows. For example, the Dapeng Clan’s sphere of influence is five thousand miles to the southeast of the hanging cliff, and there are seven or eight demon kingdoms in the middle. Why not make a surprise attack thousands of miles away Jingze Lake? Even the golden-winged rocs with the most noble blood in the clan were dispatched together. It is said that at that time the snake clan monster country Wansnake Valley was on full alert, thinking that they were going for them.”
Chen Luo sighed in his heart: because the rocs A family has noticed the ancient Buddha charm of Bodhi Land.
Sang Luo was just talking casually, and didn’t expect Chen Luo to know the answer, so he went on to say: “It’s just that after the Hongyan clan wiped out the clan and the Dapeng clan forcibly occupied Zehu Lake, strange things happened again.”
“What strange thing?” Chen Luo is helpless, what should I do with the storyteller I brought out, who loves to show off? Bear with it.
“All the rocs who participated in the raid, including the golden-winged roc, are all crazy!” Sang Luo sighed, “It is said that there is no distinction between the enemy and us, and we will rest until death.”
“The Dapeng clan thought it was the sorcery of other monster clans at first, until the ancestor Peng who ordered to occupy Jingze Lake went to Jingze Lake, he went crazy for no reason.”
“Since then, the Dapeng clan has given up Jingze Lake. And with the precedent of the Dapeng clan, no monster clan dares to approach, so it is almost a dead area now.”
Chen Luo’s eyes flickered, and his spirit moved, and he sent a message to the mountain guardian monk in Fangcun Mountain: “Master, have you heard it? “The
monk who guarded the mountain knew that he was going to plant a mountain soon, so he didn’t enter into meditation all the time. He sat on the mountain peak and calmly replied: “The Dapeng family tried to cultivate with the above-mentioned ancient Buddhist rhyme, and they inhaled the evil spirits of the heart, so they were naturally confused and murderous. ”
It’s not difficult for a poor monk to become a demon with one thought and invade an ordinary Pengzu.”
Chen Luo frowned slightly: “Can Fangcun Mountain handle it?” ”
A square inch has its owner, the devil is one foot tall, and the Buddha is one foot tall. This is the truth, don’t worry!”
Hearing the words of the mountain monk, Chen Luo breathed a sigh of relief. “However, Lord Hou, if you want to go to the ancestral land of the swan geese, there is still one important matter that needs to be clarified.”
Chen Luo asked: “What matter…”
“I want to know…” Sang Luo just said two words, and suddenly realized, With a sneer, “I’m used to it.”
“Now this eight-hundred-mile Zehu Lake has an owner.”
Chen Luo was stunned: “Didn’t you say that the Dapeng clan has withdrawn?”
Sang Luo nodded: “Yes Withdrew. But in the past 30 years, a new force has sprung up outside Zhennan Pass, led by three great sages, who are known as brothers. In just ten years of hard work, they have conquered large and small towns within three thousand miles outside Zhennan Pass The demon country has been wiped out, and a new demon country has been established, known as “Si Zhu”. This Jingze Lake is in Si Zhu’s country.”
“As far as the little old man knows, Si Zhu country has turned Jingze Lake into a forbidden area. Do not come near without permission. If the Marquis is just strolling around, he may be able to find a way to accommodate, but if he wants to do something there, he needs the approval of the three lords of Si Zhu Kingdom.”
Seeing Chen Luo frowned, Sang Luo quickly explained: “But Lord Hou, don’t worry too much. Judging from Si Zhuguo’s attitude, he is still friendly to the human race. The court also intends to use Si Zhuguo as a city wall of Yuzhou , as a buffer when the monster clan invaded, so they also secretly gave them a lot of support.”
“It is said that most of the people in Si Zhu’s country are half-demons who have been excluded by other clans within the monster clan. meaning.”
“It is worth mentioning that most of the half-demons in Si Zhuguo have awakened the talent of ‘through reading’, so their writing style is extremely prosperous, and they are extremely fond of splendid articles and poems, and they seem to surpass Qingqiu. To tell you the truth, Lord Hou, You are now the number one person in Si Zhu’s country.”
“With the splendid culture of Lord Hou, even if you change your name and hide your real identity, you can still be popular in Si Zhu. It will be convenient to discuss Jingze Lake at that time.” There are too many.”
Hearing this, Chen Luo seemed to smell a strong smell of routines.
“Si Zhuguo? Jingze Lake?”
“Extreme literary style?” I
always feel that it is aimed at me, but there is no evidence.
It’s the last day of 2021, I hope everyone will say goodbye to all the unhappiness.
The Monster Race chapter officially sets sail…
I wish you all a happy return in 2022.
