Chapter 126 is not so dark [Please give me your monthly vote! 】
On the unknown peak of Langyun Mountain, Liang Peng showed a satisfied smile.
The breeze in the mountains ruffled his temples and clothes, and his hair was flying. His expression was completely devoid of pride, but the corners of his eyes and brows were full of youthful pride.
"Thanks for your help." He thanked him lightly.
"I didn't help much, I just got a few pills for you." Heiying rarely heard him praise himself, and actually seemed a little embarrassed, "With your talent , if you practice my secret technique, your cultivation speed will definitely be accelerated, and it will be a thousand miles a day!”
"It's impossible for me to practice the skills you gave me, that's for sure." Liang Peng said with a gentle voice and a firm tone, "I must practice Confucian righteousness in order to be recognized by everyone. If I am stained with magic skills, I will be filthy all my life. And how can I tell if you are lying to me when practicing your skills? "
"Forget it." Heiying sighed, "You are smarter than a monkey. Slicker than a fox, how can I deceive you?"
His words were somewhat sincere.
After getting along with each other these days, every time he concealed or deceived a little, Liang Peng could accurately catch his loopholes and punish him with the dragon talisman.
To this day, he is almost tamed by this young man.
It seems that there is really no other way out except to help Liang Peng practice with peace of mind and wait for him to help him rebuild his body.
Fortunately, it looks like this guy won't keep him waiting too long.
At the beginning, he had just embarked on the path of cultivation. How long ago, he had already broken through to the third floor of the Qi Refiner.
The third level of the Qi Refiner is called "Supernatural Powers". As the name suggests, only at this level can you really use your magical powers.
From here we can also see the difference between the three types of practice.
Warriors have been able to improve their combat power since the first level, and warriors in the second level can kill hundreds of mortals effortlessly.
The first level of the Qi Refiner is not much different from that of ordinary people. In the second level, one can begin to master some simple uses of Qi. It is in the third level that one can truly step into the threshold of magical power.
Mystics are the most exaggerated. The first two realms are not much different from ordinary people. The mystery will not be revealed until the third realm. The fourth realm is a turning point. After that, every time you advance to a higher level, your combat power will increase tremendously.
The practice of the three secrets of Jing, Qi and Shen can clearly see the difference between strength in the early stage and strength in the later stage.
It is precisely because of this difference that the world speculates that among the three great divine realms, the strongest may be Beiluo Shimen, the great priest of the Yin Dynasty. Because of the late inheritance of the Mystic Master, no one can imagine how powerful the Ninth Realm can be.
However, the three major gods have never fought against each other, so the truth cannot be determined.
Liang Peng felt the growth of his cultivation for a while, clenched his fists and said: "This way I will be more confident to participate in this year's imperial examination."
"You really want to take part in this year's imperial examination Participate in the imperial examination?" Heiying asked in surprise.
I heard Liang Peng say it before, and he thought it was just a casual talk, but he didn't expect that this kid really planned to do this.
The Imperial Examinations of the Yin Dynasty were divided into two sessions. Those who got recommended quotas in the examinations in various prefectures and disciples from major high-level academies could participate in the Qiu Wei in the autumn, which was equivalent to an audition. .
Confucian scholars from all over the world gathered together, and finally selected thousands of the best, and then participated in the Spring Festival, which was the beginning of the new year, and they were selected layer by layer.
After passing the Qiuwei stage, you have only half-stepped into the officialdom. Even if these people are not on the list in the spring, they can already be honored and serve as pen clerks or even minor officials in various governments.
As for those who made the list in Chunwei, there are more than a hundred people in the top three, who are the rookies of the court every four years.
With Liang Peng's talent, if he studied at the Kendo Academy for four years and participated in the next imperial examination, it would be almost a matter of hands. This was also the consistent resume of generations of academy students.
Although there is no limit to the number of times you can take the imperial examination, you can experience it first and then try your best four years later. But depending on what Liang Peng meant, as long as he participated, it would never be a formality.
He once said he wanted to win the top prize.
Whether you have the top prize or not, once you really get on the list and enter officialdom, you can no longer practice in the academy.
Calculating it this way, he spent less than a year studying in the academy.
"If I can break through another level by then, then I will have enough confidence." Liang Peng said.
The reason why I say this is because the imperial examination of the Yin Dynasty not only looked at knowledge, but also the Confucianism and Taoism of the candidates was an important reference standard.
The number one scholar in the past dynasties was almost all Confucianism cultivators, not ordinary students, and their cultivation levels were generally not low.
"This is possible..." Heiying said: "But what are you anxious about? Wouldn't it be better to save money in the academy for four years?"
Liang Peng looked at the sky, slowly Xu said: "Life is short, seize the day."
......
Outside the Dragon and Tiger Hall.
Liang Yue inquired about the origin of this lotus incense with people passing by. It turned out that it was the incense candle in front of the Buddha that had only appeared in the ashram in the past few days and was consecrated by the master. The price is slightly more expensive than ordinary scented candles, but the effectiveness is much better.
Lighting one indoors and smelling the curls of green smoke will help believers to settle down even if they are upset. The spiritual platform is clear and bright, and they can fall asleep peacefully. They often wake up the next day, so it is also called "Asuka".
Not many people bought it on the first day, but since then they have discovered that the effect is so good, the number of believers queuing up to buy is increasing day by day.
“It sounds like it has nothing to do with Milo Xiang.” Ling Yuanbao said.
The effect of Milo Incense is just the opposite. Instead of making people feel peaceful, it makes you excited and restless until the next day.
But Liang Yue always felt that there seemed to be some connection between the two.
Just when Princess Fuyang wanted to cooperate with others to sell Miluo incense in Shendu, the lotus incense appeared in Longhu Hall. Du Yan appeared at the gathering, and Princess Fuyang died immediately...
"Let's take a few back for testing." Liang Yue decided after thinking about it.
But he asked several believers who bought lotus incense, and no one was willing to transfer the incense candles they got, even if the price was increased several times.
It is impossible to forcefully buy this kind of thing with official power. In desperation, Liang Yue can only ask the spies of Zhu Xie Division to help line up. By the time he finishes talking to Du Yan, it should be almost done.
This long queue, in addition to the popularity of lotus incense, may also have something to do with the people in front of it.
The person in charge of selling lotus incense in the front hall is Liu Deng'er, Li Longchan's third disciple.
Wearing a plain yellow slim-fitting robe with gold foil stripes, her hair was tied up in a bun, revealing the curves of her shoulders and neck as white as jade, with a sweet smile, she stood there handing incense and candles to each believer.
It is true that it is full of attraction.
I believe that even if what she sells is not this miraculous scented candle, but smelly socks with holes in them, there will still be a lot of people lining up. Among the several disciples of Longhu Hall, Liu Deng'er is indeed the most popular.
It’s not just because she is fair-skinned and beautiful, it’s mainly because the first two are both fierce and fierce men. In comparison, her gentleness and gentleness are definitely more popular.
Liang Yue told the people who were waiting in line, and then went with Ling Yuanbao to knock on the door of Longhu Hall over there.
"Zhu Xiesi is walking, Liang Yue." He showed his token, "I want to come to Zen Master Du Jian to ask about something."
After the disciple of the concierge went back to report, he was very polite when he came back. He saluted and opened the door, saying: "Please follow me."
The inner floor of Longhu Hall is a large courtyard with many small Buddhist halls. Each of the Buddhist halls has a front hall and a quiet room. Du Qian has his own Buddhist hall. The gatekeeper led the two people to the front hall and then Say goodbye and leave.
The light in this Buddhist hall is dim. Du Yan has a dark complexion, and the black monk's robe he wears is hidden in the corner, making it almost difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.
"You two, please sit down."
He suddenly spoke, startling Yuan Bao.
……
"Zen Master Du Yan." Liang Yue sat on the futon, glanced at Du Yan's arm, and said straight to the point: "You should know that we came to you for the case of Princess Fuyang."
"I know. , I have said before that this case has nothing to do with me," Du Qian replied.
“But you didn’t tell our people why you went that night, where you were, and whether you had any witnesses.” Liang Yue said.
"Why I went has nothing to do with your Zhuxie Division, and I don't want to tell them." Du Yan's answer was quite cold, "As for where I was that night... I arrived at the Princess Mansion and left quickly. "
"Why?" Liang Yue asked.
Du Yan glanced at him coldly and said, "Because of you."
"Ha..." Liang Yue chuckled.
He knew about the bet between Zhuxie Yamen and Longhutang.
At that time, Mo Qiuren played a trick. When he was sure to track Wu Mozi's whereabouts, he asked the people of Longhutang to make a bet to see who could catch Wu Mozi first.
In fact, the people at Longhutang had some small calculations when they were betting. Maybe they had some means behind them to lock Wu Mozi's location, otherwise they wouldn't have arrived so quickly during the Zhuxie Division's encirclement and suppression. timely.
But what neither of them expected was that Liang Yue chased him and killed Wu Mozi.
This also caused Longhutang to lose the bet.
They indeed kept their promise. Later, when they met with the people of Zhu Xie Division on other occasions, they always turned around and left.
It seems that the same thing happened at the princess gathering.
Fortunately, during the investigation, he didn't even say a word of retreat, and then turned around and left.
"But we asked the guards outside the princess's mansion. The time you left was most likely after the death of Princess Fuyang." Liang Yue said: "You left the hall, but did not leave the mansion immediately. Where did you go during this time? "
Du Yan frowned and said, "I had a fight with someone, but I'm not sure if this person will testify against me. If he lies, then I will be very passive."
"Who is it?" Liang Yue said: "You can rest assured, we will not let others frame you like this."
Du Jian said: "A disciple of Mianbi Temple, Zhou Xuanci."
"What happened to you two?" Liang Yue raised his eyes and saw that this incident had never appeared in the previous confessions of both parties.
It would be a good thing if the two of them could serve as witnesses for each other, as this would eliminate two options.
"That's right." Du Yan said: "When I went out, he happened to come in. We said a few words to each other and then had a Zen battle. I won."
"We will investigate this matter." Liang Yue nodded, "If the timeline matches, then your suspicion can be greatly reduced."
"Okay." Du Yan nodded. Said: "The reason why I am so cooperative is to give you face. If you are interested, you can come to Longhu Hall to chat more after the case is over."
Huh?
Liang Yue was startled.
The other party seems to be... recruiting me?
Du Yan added another sentence: "My master has a very good impression of you."
No wonder.
Liang Yue finally understood.
I think it was because of the case at the Tower of Babel that day.
Li Longchan used the pretense of building a tower to carry private goods, and built an underground formation to gather the earth's energy and attract the secret treasures underground. However, he was plotted against and almost killed the prince.
If the prince dies, he will be in big trouble.
Thanks to Liang Yue's flying kick, this kick revived the prince, and also kicked Li Longchan back to the position of national master who had almost collapsed.
The prince was fine, so the matter of building the formation privately was nothing serious. Emperor Mubei punished him afterwards, and the matter was over.
It must have been at that time that Li Longchan left a good impression on this unexpectedly emerging Imperial Guard.
It’s just that he was slow to start. That day, Liang Yue was led by Chen Su on horseback and paraded through the streets, and was bound to Zhuxie Yamen.
It is naturally impossible for Longhutang to find someone from Zhuxiesi to sell it well.
Now it may be that Liang Yue is not doing well in Zhuxiesi and is in crisis, so Longhutang has the idea of poaching again.
After walking out of the Buddhist hall, Ling Yuanbao asked: "Do you think he is telling the truth?"
"I don't know yet, but I am 90% sure that the murderer is not him." Liang Yue said with certainty.
Ling Yuanbao asked curiously: "How did you see it?"
"I saw the prisoner's palm that day. Although it was obscured by the thunder in the palm, I couldn't see the shape clearly, but... ..." Liang Yue said flatly: "It's definitely not that dark."
