with the way

to heaven.

As soon as Immortal Yuheng arrived at Nantianmen, he was escorted to the middle palace by twelve heavenly soldiers and generals.He was sent up by three urgent secret orders.Now that the world is at peace, he can't think of anything that must make him leave this little Taoist priest, so he simply ignores it.Later, he couldn't stand it anymore, the repeated calls rang in his ears again and again, just like the eunuchs in the palace, it disturbed him more than the yelling on the street.

Some of the priests around were young, they didn't recognize Yu Heng's face, and they didn't dare to offend him.After all, Yuheng didn't keep his divine power well at this time, and his dark face seemed to be looking for bad luck.Those with a little discernment know that Immortal Yuheng who lives on Yushu Mountain is the powerful arm of the master of Tiangong, and he dares not provoke him.If he lived longer, knowing that Yuheng still bears the title of God of War, he would not dare to break ground on Taisui.

The priest who led the way was respectful and trembling, and Yu Heng walked in the middle, his face darkened.

Ziweihuan.

The current master of the Heavenly Court is the third prince, Lang Ye, titled Immortal Ling Yu.All the immortal friends call him His Excellency, and they can also call him Immortal Ling Yu directly.Even though the Heavenly Tribulation has not been overcome at this time, one can only be called a king but not an emperor, but no one dares to bring up this matter.After all, the first emperor had three sons, the first prince is gone, the second prince is a pussy waste, and even though the third prince is inferior in talent and qualifications to his elder brother who is gone, he has a ruthless spirit and will deal with things again, sitting on the dragon seat Be steady.Seeing the visitor, Ling Yu was very happy, and then threw the memorial in his hand to the waiter next to him, like a spring breeze: "Yanshu, here we come."

Immortal Yuheng is still dressed in white without any decorations.Before going down to earth, her hair still looked untied, but Cheng En once felt bored, so she made a fuss on Xianjun's head, took a wooden hairpin carved with inconspicuous small flowers, and carefully tied a piece of hair for Xianjun. The bun is very elegant and very romantic.Ling Yu quickly passed the black orchid flower on the Yuheng wooden hairpin, raised his hand to signal for tea and snacks, and chatted about homework: "Second brother still often runs to your place recently?"

After being properly waited on and sat down, Yan Shu picked up the celadon teacup, raised his eyes and asked, "What's the matter?"

Lang Ye looked at Yuheng speechlessly, not very happy, "I can't find you if I have nothing to do?"

Yan Shu lowered his eyebrows: "Three times."

Lang Ye muttered, "Didn't it just make Lier call you a few times?"

Yan Shu got angry and rubbed his forehead, "It's very noisy."

Lang Ye: "I know you like to be clean, and I have newly paid tribute to a batch of treasures, high-quality weapons, will I compensate you?"

Yan Shu put down the teacup, and was about to get out of the way without taking a sip.When Lang Ye saw this, he hurriedly stayed, "Hey, wait a minute, don't rush away. It's a rare time to come, give me a face, and have a meal with me." After saying this, the maids in floral clothes brought dishes one after another. .Seeing that Yan Shu didn't insist on leaving, Lang Ye said leisurely: "I heard that you descended to earth today?"

Yan Shu picked up the cup of tea, held it in his hand and played with it, "Yeah."

Lang Ye: "Is there something to gain?" After waiting for a while, but Yan Shu couldn't reply, Lang Ye said bitterly: "You sent back the post about famous women in Yushu Mountain before, but you returned it intact. Look at Fan Is there a woman?"

For hundreds of years, it was popular in the fairy world to be a matchmaker for Immortal Yuheng, betting on who could get into the eyes of the God of War.The greeting cards were sent to Yushu Mountain in piles and piles, and then returned one by one intact.Lang Ye was also secretly happy for a while, and cut off the surging post on his own initiative, and the trend gradually subsided.With the help of the third prince, no one will mention this matter.Seeing Yan Shu wandering outside, the high-spirited third prince had nowhere to vent his anger, so he could only warn: "Mortal women have a short lifespan, Yan Shu, you should think about it."

Suddenly, Yan Shu dropped the cup in his hand.The small part of his consciousness that he put on Cheng En's body came back.

Cheng En and Peng Yue discussed major issues together in Changzhou.Unexpectedly, General Peng was far more reliable than Cheng En imagined. He not only deciphered the ghost code of the mirage, but also joined forces with kind-hearted experts from other schools to create an antidote for controlling the mind in the mirage. The medicine will take some time.Although the group of dolls that Mirage rescued were safe and sound because of Immortal Yanshu, it's still good to have the antidote in hand.

This matter can be regarded as a certainty, and the evidence is conclusive.

In the tea room facing the street, the summer breeze was warm, Cheng En said slowly: "General, there may be another leak."

Peng Yue returned to Beijing to report on his work, and brought along Daoist Cheng who wanted to watch the excitement.

Cheng En waited in Changzhou City for a few days, but before Yan Shu arrived, he rushed to Beijing with Peng Yue. The matter was over, and it was time for him to bid farewell to Immortal Yan Shu.

It didn't take long before a case of the dragon in front of the imperial court was presented in a document suing He Guogong for cannibalism, which caused a sensation in the government and the public.A few days after this, cases of missing children appeared one after another in various states across the Central Plains.When the emperor ordered a thorough investigation, more than a month later, Yu Bai, the mastermind of He Guogong, Hong, Shen, Yang, Zhang, etc., was executed.The rest of those involved in the case were put in prison together, sentenced according to the law, and executed after autumn.Because this matter also involved the Taoist school, the emperor was angry and dismissed the Taoist school.All of a sudden, there was panic.

The aloof He Guogong He Nianci fell into the clouds, and thousands of people cursed him.No matter what unlucky things happened in the family, the common people can attribute it to this bloated former Duke.Before the execution, He Guogong yelled, "Old Emperor!"Caishikou in Beijing was bloody every day for several days in a row.Naturally, rich and noble families avoid it whenever they can, taking advantage of the heat of the day, they hide in mountain resorts to stay away from right and wrong.Ordinary people happily dipped a lot of blood on steamed buns, and then went to the temple to burn high incense, praying for the evil spirits to disperse, before giving up.As a result, the temples in central and central Beijing are very popular these days, and the small wine shops in the outer suburbs are doing very well.

The Son of Heaven has a saying: General Peng cleaned up the filth of the imperial court and uprooted the He family.The leader of the emperor's mausoleum, Peng Yue, is the left-wing general of the brave army. He will go to the northwest today to put down the chaos of the barbarians.Cheng En, a Taoist priest in the countryside, helped a lot on the way and rewarded gold and white.This is it.

Cheng En and General Peng Yue were still drinking tea in a quiet teahouse in central Beijing.Cheng En said: "Does the general know the emperor's intention?"

Peng Yue still answered irrelevant questions: "Once this matter is over, He Guogong can be said to be clean, and even the imperial concubine was forced to hang herself in court."

Cheng En kept silent, listening to Peng Yue continue: "That Mr. Autumn Shan came from the same origin as Mirage. Seeing that he was good-looking, he was sent to serve He Nianci. Later, Mr. Autumn Shan took charge of the whole Mirage, and He Nianci I just became the shopkeeper. Some rumors leaked out from nowhere, Mr. Qiu Shan and a accountant surnamed Ji in the He Mansion walked away together after the year." General Peng couldn't help feeling disappointed that two big fish had been missed.

Cheng En asked, "After a year? So early?"

Peng Yue said: "That's true. Unexpectedly, the rumors have been leaked a long time ago."

Cheng En thought about it carefully, and said with a smile: "This matter should be regarded as my negligence."

He suddenly recalled the first time he met Yang Hou and Hong Wenxuan at his master's school, they said: If Su He, that is, Gu Zhengqing is not dead, the mirage needs to be moved.Presumably, the owner of Mirage had gone to Changzhou or Rong County to find out the situation, and then some news leaked out, allowing this Young Master Autumn Fan and Ji Erye to escape.

However, Mr. Autumn Fan and Ji Erye didn't report the news, otherwise they would need a big move to close the net.

Peng Yue pondered for a moment, and then said: "As for the curse of the Zhang family."

Cheng Endao: "Yang Xuan and Hong Wenxuan's faceless disease?"

Peng Yue nodded: "The first case of faceless disease was the head of the Zhang family. Later, this disease gradually spread in the Zhang family. At first, it was only a small part, and then gradually the whole face was covered with scabs. The Yang family quite Through the psychic method, a psychic mask is made to replace the face. This mask can hear, see and speak. The longer it is worn, the more suitable the mask is for the patient."

Cheng En was silent.

Peng Yue asked, "Is there a solution to this matter?"

Cheng En laughed and said: "It's really a curse when I think about it. I also pity the innocent little Taoist priests of other sects who got shot at the muzzle." After a pause, he changed the topic back, "Northwest barbarians, I am good at defending Chaosu. Take the initiative to attack this time, does the general have a good plan?"

Peng Yue said with a smile: "Peng's job, Taoist priest, don't worry about it. According to the Taoist priest, isn't Peng's help from God?" There was no one else, Taoist Cheng shook the teacup in his hand: "Cheng En doesn't know What is the predetermined fate, Cheng En only knows, General, you have a chance."

Maybe it's not him, maybe it's his son who is still crowned, or maybe it needs another few decades of planning and planning.This family must be a big trend.However, a seed needs to be planted now and wait for the opportunity.A few days later, when Peng Yue went out to fight, many people in the city came to see him off.Cheng En cupped his fists and said, "General Peng, Cheng En will leave now."

Daoist Cheng spent a few days having fun in the capital, salivating at his old face, and borrowed a few servants from Peng Yue's mansion to serve as his attendants.When he returned to the inn with a bunch of playthings, a father-in-law had already been waiting for a long time.

The father-in-law smiled and said, "Master Dao, my young master would like to have a story with Master Dao, please come with me."

Cheng En ignored the imposing black iron guards on both sides and the official who was obviously from the royal family, and closed the door in front of them.When the people outside broke down the door and went in, there was no one in the house.

That night, the moon was bright and the stars were thin, the windows of the emperor's bedroom were blown open by the wind, and the cold wind blew in. A scent of flowers wafted through, and His Majesty the Emperor woke up.The emperor wanted to call in the night watch maid, at least to scold her.The door creaked open, and a person walked in.For some reason, His Majesty the Emperor knew that the man was the Taoist priest he wanted to meet, so he waited silently for him to come forward.

Cheng En looked at the bright yellow figure on the bed and said, "I heard that His Majesty the Emperor wants to see me?"

The emperor said: "That's right. Xiao Lizi is right. You have some real skills."

Cheng En said without any scruples: "May I ask what your Majesty's urgent summons is?"

The Son of Heaven didn't take his disrespect to heart, and said with a smile: "I am here to recruit talented people, and the Taoist priest is willing to submit to me and show his ambition?"

Cheng En said straightly: "Your Majesty, there are no immortals in this world. You were just deceived by those low-level Taoist priests from the Yang family."

There was no light in the dormitory, only a little moonlight shining in from the open palace door, Cheng En couldn't see the expression of the person on the bed clearly, he only knew that when Immortal Yanshu and Immortal Yanshu went to Beijing to inspect Hong's house, he and His Majesty the Emperor There was a relationship with Yubi calligraphy and painting.The ghostly aura on His Majesty's body is as thick as it was then.

The emperor obviously didn't believe it, so he asked, "Oh, how did Taoist Cheng know?"

Cheng En laughed and said: "Your Majesty, you don't know, right? The palace in the sky was originally a book written by a down-and-out scholar who listened to bad words, and fabricated it to satisfy his own selfishness. Taoist immortals are some strange ones. Dunjia, the illusion of the five elements, is just a way to hide the eyes. People who can't bear the suffering in the world always take it for granted to seek the paradise, and those who don't know how to do it regard it as the truth and carry it forward. It comes out of thin air. The instigator, the scholar, unfortunately, is the patriarch of my sect, so I know a thing or two about Xiaodao."

Cheng En: "People in the world are stupid. They don't doubt that there is him, and they don't even think about it. Isn't the framework of the heaven drawn in the shadow of the imperial court? If there are really immortals with supernatural powers, why do they have to obey? The will of the Jade Emperor is submissive, and they have already occupied the mountains as kings, and they are happy. If I am a god, why bother to be merciful and pretend to be admired by thousands of people. It is better to clear the world as soon as possible. In the whole world, I am the only one, isn't it? better?"

The emperor choked on his words, and said angrily: "Presumptuous, the little Taoist fooled me so much, are you afraid that I will send someone to arrest you?"

Cheng En smiled naturally: "Don't dare, it's just that the patriarch has long been buried in the soil, and the descendants I sent have always kept their own place and did not cause trouble. If your majesty really wants to catch the trail and go to jail, you really need to find a good excuse. Your Majesty Don't blame Xiaodao for his reckless words, Xiaodao is just a wandering Taoist, and the mountain is a bit more barbaric. Today, I followed His Majesty's order to come to say hello, and I think His Majesty also played tricks on Qimen Dunjia, so Xiaodao brought along the ancestral Baby——"Qimen Stewed Armor and Five Flowers Opera", please accept it with your Majesty."

Before he could roar at the emperor, Cheng En disappeared on the spot with a heck of a word, and a copy of "Steamed Sixtieth Years, Pork Belly Pork Drama" was safely placed on the dragon couch.

At the first ray of light in the morning, Cheng En walked out of the solemn city gate, joined a few servants borrowed from Peng's mansion, and returned to Rong County all the way.

Rong County is now in disaster. The previous county magistrate was implicated by Mr. Shen, the state capital of Changzhou, and his family property was stolen.The new county magistrate took office and took over the mess. Countless eyes were on him, and he couldn't make mistakes or do nothing.The entire Rong County swept away the hustle and bustle of the past, and suddenly became quiet and serious.

Cheng En bought a bag of fragrant pears at the corner of the street, and still went to the inn where he lived before, the one opposite the little mirage.The proprietress of the inn gave birth to a son not long ago, who is only half a month old now.Another incident happened on the opposite side. The boss has been thinking about changing the store location quickly. Anyway, the business is getting worse and worse. The sign for lease and transfer has been hanging for a long time, but no one comes to ask.

Cheng En pushed open the door of the inn, carried the bag of pears, and said with a smile, "Is this place for sale?"

The owner of the shop was stunned for a while when he saw the visitor, and finally said: "Great Immortal?"

Cheng En exchanged pleasantries with the owner of the inn for a while, and the servants who were dispatched rushed to the inn with a group of tattered little brats.The group of children were frightened to death by the unsmiling and vicious servants of General Peng's family. They thought they had committed something and were about to be arrested and beheaded.After arriving at the inn, the dolls saw Cheng En, recognized the savior, and swelled up.Fat Run blinked and exclaimed, "Brother Cheng, that's Brother Cheng!"

The beggar's ability to see the wind and steer the rudder is very strong, all the fright and fear just now were thrown out of the sky, his waist was straight, and his tongue was chattering. "Brother Cheng, where have you been these days?", "Brother Cheng, hurry up and save Uncle Zeng, he was taken away by those officers and soldiers, and those soldiers were all necrotic!", "Yes. We were bullied miserably already."...

The Uncle Zeng they talked about, in fact, may not take his life.

Originally, Uncle Zeng had a superior family on top of him, who was in charge of the entire group of beggars.Greed is not enough to swallow like a snake, Uncle Zeng is probably dissatisfied with only this small group of beggars in his hands, so he ran away his family.He was a little clever, and he figured out that apart from the bunch of beggars managed by the Shen family, there were other things on it.Years ago, Uncle Zeng blocked the way of the bodyguards of the Hong family in the remote forests of Changzhou, and with some methods, he became the new capable officer under Master Shen.On the way, I disturbed a hunter who couldn't go down the mountain because of the heavy snow. The hunter wanted to report to the police and was killed.

Pull out the radish and bring out the mud. This is roughly what Cheng En put together.

Perhaps the beginning of everything was just an obsession of the emperor, united with a few capable Taoist priests, and gave birth to the heart of flying into Que Ting.But those Taoist priests have their eyes high above the top, and they are not willing to use the medicine introductions that are not expensive.He Guogong under his hand suddenly became lustful, and it is good to have fun, anyway, it is not in vain to catch the extra children.The desires of the superiors are the responsibility and consequences of the subordinates.People were divided into three classes, and those who were picked by the superiors were not ruthlessly discarded, so they could still use their remaining heat to make the old Shen family official a little bit of black-hearted money.I don't know what the group of beggars will be called in the end. "Begging for cleverness"?Or "Fulu"?

Over the years, Que Ting gave birth to a mirage, and after the mirage, there were more little beggars, one ring after another.When the Dongchuang incident happened, the master naturally abandoned the car to protect the handsome man.It may also be that the master feels that his subordinates are incapable, but they have not achieved any results after so long, so they borrowed the wind and gave up when they wanted to.

Cheng En took down the inn with the money given by His Majesty the Emperor, hired an old scholar with some reputation in the local area, and transformed it into a small school.

After the pile of beggars were washed and cleaned, they turned out to be like human beings, crooked and forced to read and write. They were strictly guarded by the servants of the Peng family, and any disobedient ones would beat their hands with hands, and they complained endlessly.

Cheng En watched with a smile on the group of children being taught by the master and repaired by the servants, showing no intention of helping.Brother Cheng, who was gentle and considerate from the mouth of a child, has become a wily and calculating old fox.Sophistication is a new word these dolls have learned these days, and it is the most suitable word to describe Cheng En.

Among this group of beggars, the mute is considered to be a very motivated one, and the teacher always praises him the most, so the mute can only be squeezed out of this group of jealous dolls again with great difficulty.Forced by Taoist Cheng's despotic power, they maintain their superficial love for each other.

Although the owner of the inn sold the place, he couldn't find another place to stay for a while, so he kept taking care of the three meals a day for this group of people.In his spare time, he would run errands for his wife, and when he was bored, he would drink tea with Daochang Cheng under the shade of a tree, and tease his baby who was still in swaddle.

One day, the owner of the inn suddenly asked what the name of this small school should be.The inn has no name, and the owner is a rough man. His wife was not satisfied with several names in succession, so he dragged on without hanging the plaque.Later, I felt that I worked hard to be worthy of the guests staying in the hotel. The smell of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, and it doesn't matter whether I have a name or not.So there has never been a proper name.But Cheng Daochang saw that he was an educated person, and besides, with a name, the children in the neighborhood could also come to school together.Cheng En thought for many days, and finally said: "Yan Lai, Yan Lai School."

So, in early autumn, Yanlai Academy hung a plaque and burned a section of red firecrackers.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Taoist Cheng got up to say goodbye.Entrust this group of dolls to the innkeeper and his wife, and tell the Peng family servants before leaving. If the antidote is prepared, follow the group of dolls wherever they want to go. After everything is over, it is best to go home separately.According to Cheng En's temperament, it was his choice to enjoy the scenery along the road slowly in a bullock cart, and walk back to the teacher's gate leisurely.But after being up and down in the world for a long time, Cheng En wanted to hide in his teacher's door more and more, to be alone and clean, and the sooner the better.

With such a mentality, Cheng En turned out his precious talisman seal, and just as he was about to ignite the talisman paper, the door of the room was slammed open by the mute.

Cheng En held a long yellow talisman and opened his mouth wide: "What's the matter?"

The mute was out of breath, and it took him a long time to recover, and he said hastily, "I want to learn how to be Huang Daxian from you."

The mute figured that Cheng En wanted to leave, so he was waiting outside, so he wanted to set off with him. After waiting for a long time, he hurried in without waiting.

Cheng En: "If you think about the past, what should you do?"

The mute was a little anxious: "I think I should follow you."

Cheng En thought for a while: "Then if you really think about it, go to Longhu Mountain and find me." After saying that, without saying anything else, the teleportation talisman sent him back to the teacher's gate.

……

Seven years later, the left-wing general of the brave army defeated the barbarians, moved to the commander-in-chief of the guard army, and granted the title of Marquis of Xining.In the same year, Peng Zhiwang, the eldest son of Peng Yue, won the imperial examination, and the Peng family was in the limelight for a while.Peng Zhiwang's official career was not smooth, and he was demoted and promoted. Five years later, he became the minister of Dali Temple.In another seven years, the Marquis of Xining rebelled, which was known as the Xuanwu Incident in history.
