Ask The Dao

Chapter 16: chance encounter

   Celebrate the sixteenth year of the winter, Xiao Han.

   There was a light snow, and everything in the world seemed to be wrapped in silver.

   There is an earth temple on the side of the road. The temple has been dilapidated and there is a faint fire.

   Duan Yuhas white gas and pushes open the dilapidated door.

   There are already several waves of people entrenched in the temple, burning a pyre and roasting a few pieces of dry food.

   The windows are leaking on all sides and the roof is broken. It is indeed a dilapidated temple, but it is a bit unusually crowded.

   Duan Yu came to the statue, looked at the mottled wooden lacquer statue, and put on the incense stick.

  The gods of this world are divided into Yin and Yang, and the Yang is the court on earth. Unfortunately, since the Great Xia Dynasty, the world has been in chaos. No one has come to clarify the Yin and God events, and shrines everywhere have declined.

   "Looking up at the greatness of the world, is there anyone who can live forever?"

   Duan Yu looked at this scene and sighed inwardly.

   In the heyday of the Great Summer, not only the sun face was majestic, but also suppressed all the bulls, ghosts, snakes and monsters. The dark face also established the Dragon Court, inhabited by the great ancestors of the Great Xia family. It is said that the founding father of the country was like the emperor of heaven!

   But when the Great Xia decayed, the Dragon Court crashed, the ancestor dragon and countless yin spirits were lost at once, and the ghosts and gods cried at night, and the night was endless.

  The dragon courts are all destroyed. Naturally, the temples such as the land and mountain gods all over the continent will not survive forever. Most of them are dilapidated.

   "The flesh and blood body cannot practice the divine way, only the Yin God can... But if the Yin God divine way loses its incense offerings and there is no other source, even if there is no external force to destroy it, it will slowly die out..."

   Duan Yu sighed inwardly.

  Because of the fragility of this divine way, he didn't take it. At this time, he found a corner and began to sit cross-legged to rest, eating the dry food he carried.

   "This person is also interesting. This earth temple has been abandoned for many years. How can there be a god?"

   "Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh he shall be out of the house, don’t worry about his business, be careful that misfortune comes from his mouth!

A voice came from one place. Duan Yu looked around and saw a pair of grandsons. The grandson was sixteen or seventeen years old. He had a tiger head and a tiger brain. Although he was not childish, he was tall and burly. There was something beside him, long and covered with black cloth. , Obviously a weapon.

   The old man had a sarcoma on his forehead, his face was shrewd, and he was scolding his grandson. Seeing Duan Yuwang, he couldn't help but smile apologetically.

   "A stick of incense is nothing to me, but if this earth temple has a god, it may be its life-saving straw..." Duan Yu's eyes flashed, and his voice rose slightly.

"That's the case, but the gods are also divided into good and bad. The one who protects the other side is the righteous god, and the one who harms the other side and asks for blood eaters is an evil sacrifice! Before offering incense, it is better to distinguish clearly, otherwise the evil **** will be sacrificed. Harmful and unhelpful..."

   On the other side, a scholar-like person is holding a scroll, studying diligently without raising his head.

   In addition to him, there is a middle-aged Luo Tuo in the corner. Even if the weather is cold, he only has a ragged single coat with a disheveled hair, holding a black stick, as if sleeping.

   "Thanks for your advice!"

   Duan Yu bowed to the scholar without saying much.

The cold wind outside the house was bitter, and after a while, the sturdy young man couldn't bear it, and said in a low voice: "Master... I heard that the Zhendong Army has turned back! This time, my grandson will join the army. You will also be happy then!"

"The soldiers are fierce and dangerous, and you can't care about it! Your father is also a man of martial arts, and he has always been brave. Some people criticize martial arts and do not lose in the martial arts, and finally he died in battle?" The old man with sarcoma said this, his tone could not help but choked up: "On the battlefield, small soldiers are the easiest to die. It's a pity that you don't understand the writing and ink, otherwise, even if you sell the family, I will give you a Wu Xiu before you come out... This time you are at Lord Sun's mansion, you must not be arrogant. If you want to lower your stance and get a letter of recommendation, you don’t need to start from the big head."

  Qingguo also has literary and martial arts, which are divided into four categories: Tongsheng, Xiucai, Juren, and Jinshi. Wutongsheng does not have any privileges, but only shows that they have practiced martial arts.

   And Wu Xiucai can give three acres of land with a knife. If he joins the army, he will be as long as ten people, and he will be promoted very quickly. After a few battles, he will have official status.

  Wu Ju people gave ten acres of land with a bow. If you join the army, you must be a military officer from the 9th rank!

   Speaking of it, Duan Yu originally thought about letting Qin Feiyu take the martial arts exam, but he and this tiger-headed boy both had a big problem, that is, the liberal arts!

  Wuju is to select military officers. I don’t even know a few words, and I don’t understand the map of military books. What use is it?

   In addition to this official channel, it is very difficult to gain a firm foothold in the military. Most of them must start from small soldiers and accumulate military merits. This is the easiest time for accidents!

  Of course, besides these, there is another way, which is appreciated by the nobles!

   Qin Feiyu walked this way, with Ding Rang’s recommendation, at least he could start from the deputy team, this was the deputy of fifty people, with official status.

   Now it seems that the boy also wants to go this way.

   But the way the other party was looking for was much lower than Ding Rang. It is estimated that if you don't spend a lot of time and money, even if you get the recommendation letter, you will be a leader of the army.

  ‘He Zong really turned upside down! ’

   Duan Yu broke the steamed buns, sandwiched a piece of dried meat, and slowly roasted it on the bonfire. After a while, the meat was fragrant, but his heart was groaning.

   After all, it is a prefecture, with 10,000 troops. In addition, Yezhou was really caught off guard at this time. It was heard that two counties were trapped on that day.

   While He Zong attacked the city and plundered the land, on the one hand, he recruited the rebels and expanded the scale. The army will soon rise to tens of thousands, but the quality is really worrying.

  In terms of speaking, his true elite foundation is only five thousand soldiers at the top.

   Therefore, when Chen Ce was annihilated and the old camp was annihilated, he immediately blew away like rain and wind.

   "The grandfather and grandson are caring people, they seem to belong to the martial arts heir... But don't do my business!"

   Duan Yu was taken aback, thinking of Qin Feiyu, absent-mindedly tore off the steamed buns and ate them.

  He went out this time, naturally, because he was about to complete the foundation, and in order to prepare for the follow-up, he came to start the inheritance of the seal cutter.

   This line of inheritance is located on the edge of Yezhou, and it is obtained from the previous life when I traveled down the mountain.

   It's just that at that time, I had already entered the Taoist way by sectarian law, and there was no possibility of inheriting the core essence.

   In this life, naturally there will be no regrets.

   "The Tao of seal cutting must be truly introduced, and it is best to take it as the root when entering the Tao, and build the foundation of Tao..."

   Therefore, the inheritance must be obtained before the foundation is built, especially the treasures in it!

  Because of my own rebirth, perhaps a small change may have some impact, but it should not affect that side. Besides, if I go so much earlier than my previous life, I want to reduce all influence to a minimum!

   "Two righteous men..."

But the scholar, after hearing the low-voiced conversation of his grandson and grandson, he changed his expression, straightened his clothes, and walked forward to salute: "In the face of the plan! During the national crisis, this little brother can still think about serving the country, and he really admires him. !"

   "Haha...Where and where!"

   The old man waved his hand quickly, his eyes were a little surprised and wary.

   "Don't worry, Mr. Xia is a member of the academy..." Ji Shi said, "Is Sun want to join the army? I also want to serve in the army under Xia."

   "School?!"

  , it was Duan Yu. Hearing this name, his heart shuddered.

   Although this is less literary and important than martial arts, Confucianism also teaches shooting and imperialism! What's more, in the academy, there is the same method of nourishing qi, and the qi cultivators who come out are no less than half of the qi refining magicians.

   "The imperial court can be regarded as the heaven of the sun, and the academy is the sect that has entered the world to practice..." Duan Yu looked around and knew that this scheme should be regarded as a personal thing, but he had no memory of his previous life.

   This is also normal. Even if I remember it, the information I got was limited. If you don't involve yourself, you won't go after it completely, and there will be no memory or something.

   Step on!

   Step on!

   At this moment, the sound of horseshoes suddenly came from outside.

   The footsteps rang loudly, and the visitors had already surrounded the entire Earth Temple.

"This……"

   The old man with sarcoma was startled, he immediately touched the weapon and looked at the other people in the earth temple vigilantly.

   "This is not a military formation!"

   Ji Shi gave a start, looking at Duan Yu and the middle-aged Luo Tuo in the corner: "Two people, if you are looking for you, please don't involve us..."

   "This is natural!"

   A deep response came, and it was the middle-aged Luo Tuo who was holding the black stick!

   "Takaoka! Come out quickly and die, otherwise we will set fire to the house!"

   Outside the house, a somewhat stubborn voice sounded. UU reading www.uukahnshu.com

   "Takaoka?"

   Duan Yu was startled and had some impressions: "Panlong stick Takaoka? That rumored master warrior?"

   Obviously, this is a vendetta.

   And those people are very jealous of Takaoka, and they are not willing to enter the earth temple to allow Takaoka to obtain favorable terrain.

   This kind of martial arts master, if there is no better place, it is really killing people like cutting grass.

   "I count three times..."

   Outside the door, the shouts became louder and louder, and even faintly visible figures were heavy, holding torches.

   "Hmph, your Sanshan Association is really getting better and better..."

   Takaoka stood up, and laughed a long voice: "I am here with someone high, who would dare to kill me?"

   "Set fire!"

   There was a shout from outside the door, and dozens of torches were thrown on the earth temple. Smoke started to **** the nose and mouth.

   "This is the roadside temple. If you are in the county seat, you will not dare to set fire to them... Murder and arson? Hey, this crime of arson is more hated by the government than the crime of murder..."

   The Temple of the Earth was on fire, Duan Yu naturally could not continue to rest, so he could only sigh and slowly stand up.

"let's go!"

   The old man with sarcoma rolled his eyes and pulled the tiger-headed boy, he was about to rush out from the back door: "The hero outside the door, the old man is just staying overnight, it has nothing to do with this matter!"

   "Shoot!" Unfortunately, as soon as the temple door opened, his answer was a cold command.

   嗤嗤!

   A few arrows came like locusts, and the old man fell down with an arrow in his chest, his face covered in disbelief.

   "Grandpa!"

   The tiger head boy screamed loudly, teardrops already overflowing his eyes.

   "What a ruthless method..." Seeing this scene, Ji Shi couldn't help sighing, "I'd rather kill the wrong one instead of letting it go?"
