Da Zhao beheaded the night envoy

The capital of Zhao.

Daomingyuan, Sutra Collection Hall.

Zhang Qian was flipping through a book of exercises.

Looking up and down, ten lines at a glance, you have reached the last page in a blink of an eye.

Put down this exercise book, pick up another exercise book and continue reading...

I have read several exercise books in just a short while and still haven't stopped.

I stayed in the Sutra Collection Hall for more than a month, reading almost all the time and forgetting food and sleep. I have already read most of the books in the collection.

The books collected here are obscure and difficult to understand, and there are many secret characters in ancient texts. Even the most knowledgeable people may not be able to understand them all.

Zhang Qian was fine.

There is an ancient tablet floating in the consciousness, with scriptures densely covered on it, overflowing with light.

As I read, the number of verses on the ancient tablet continued to increase...

Time passed while reading the book.

Unknowingly, the sky is filled with red clouds again, night falls, the stars hang high, and the long night is deep and silent.

Until the sky becomes white and the sun breaks.

The day passed.

Crack.

Zhang Qian closed the book in his hand and breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, I read all the books in the Sutra Collection Hall. I raised my hand and pinched my eyebrows, with a tired look on my face.

I lamented the rich collection of the Sutra Collection Hall of Daomingyuan, which collected countless ancient and modern techniques and secrets in Da Zhao, as well as techniques from outside Da Zhao, covering everything.

The power of a dynasty is evident.

With Zhang Qian’s cultivation level, it is also very tiring to spend so much time reading.

However, when he saw the changes in the ancient stele in his consciousness, the scriptures were as huge as mountains and as vast as stars, Zhang Qian showed a satisfied smile.

When I walked out of the Sutra Collection Hall, I suddenly felt enlightened.

Looking at the Daomingyuan disciples coming and going, I felt like I was in another world.

“I finally finished reading all the books before taking office.”

Zhang Qian raised his hand and shook his sleeves, as if to shake off all the dust on his body, and stepped away.

After a while, the winding path leads to a quiet place, and a large bamboo forest appears in front of you.

The breeze blows, and there is the sound of rustling waves. There are large rows of houses beside the bamboo forest, elegant and quiet.

As Enxue disciples left one after another during the same period, the formerly lively group of buildings now became deserted.

Zhang Qian returned to his long-lost residence and prepared to pack his things and leave Daomingyuan.

Accompanying you in your leisure time, 101????????????.??????Super considerate and perfect site

In fact, there is not much to pack in the almost bare-walled house.

"Senior Brother Zhang."

A beautiful woman stood in front of the house where Zhang Qian lived.

Wearing an apricot yellow skirt, she has a graceful figure and exquisite facial features.

Shi Yanyan was a disciple of Enxue at the same time.

Because of his outstanding appearance, good dancing skills and good cultivation, he was quite famous among his disciples at the same time.

It is completely different from Zhang Qian who devoted himself to practice after entering Daomingyuan.

The two of them are not familiar with each other. Although they have met many times, the number of times they have spoken together cannot exceed the number of hands.

Zhang Qian was puzzled when he saw Shi Yanyan standing in front of his house.

Shi Yanyan had already taken the initiative to greet him, smiling brightly: "Senior Brother Zhang, you must attend the farewell banquet tonight."

The voice was clear and crisp, like beads falling on a jade plate.

Especially the soft and soft "senior brother", I am afraid it will make many men feel melancholy.

It turns out that the disciples at the same time were about to leave Daomingyuan, and someone proposed to hold a farewell banquet, and most of them have agreed to attend.

Zhang Qian has been staying in the Sutra Collection Hall recently and never leaves the hall, so he doesn’t know about this.

Although he had practiced in Daomingyuan for many years, Zhang Qian rarely had contact with others and was notoriously withdrawn during the same period.

Given his personality, he was naturally not interested in this farewell banquet, but Shi Yanyan personally invited it with a warm attitude.

I thought that this time might be the last time I would see my disciples from the same period. After leaving the capital, they would go their separate ways. The road ahead would be bleak, and there might never be another chance to meet again.

After Zhang Qian agreed, Shi Yanyan left with satisfaction.

Zhang Qian continued to pack the items, including incense burners, statues of gods, pens and ink, inkstones, talisman papers, and a few old books with yellowed covers...

Put them into the storage bag one after another.

"Five years of teaching are over, but your practice has just begun. Opening up the aura is just the starting point. Don't be proud of it. I hope you will find opportunities outside to successfully build the foundation."

The Taoist master's words linger in your ears.

When Zhang Qian walked out of the house again, the sky was already dark. He looked at the slightly bleak open world in the distance with firm eyes.

Daomingyuan is located in Zidong Mountain in the suburbs. There are many palaces and buildings on the mountainside. Looking down, you can see the prosperity of the capital, with bright street lights and star-studded mansions.

I came to this world as a child and suffered a lot. Now I have finally mastered my skills and gained the ability to protect myself, but this alone is not enough.

Zhang Qian is an ambitious man. He can live forever between heaven and earth and become a free traveler in the world, so as not to lose this fate.

……

Hongyan Tower.

This is a famous restaurant in the capital. It is seven stories high, with carved beams and brackets. It is magnificent and has an endless stream of customers every day.

Zhang Qian stood in front of Hongyan Tower with his hands behind his hands, looking at the prosperous business scene in front of him, and stepped inside.

I have been living in seclusion in the capital for many years, focusing on my practice. I rarely leave Daomingyuan, and I have never had fun in the bustling places of the capital.

It is obviously close at hand, but it is invisible.

The servant has already come to greet you.

Although Zhang Qian is plainly dressed in gray clothes and cloth shoes, his quiet and worldly temperament makes it clear at first glance that he is not an ordinary person.

The farewell banquet was held on the seventh floor. Many of the disciples at the same time were from well-off families and came from famous families, so someone waved his hand and contracted the seventh floor of Hongyan Tower.

Before I reached the seventh floor, I heard the sound of Mi Mi.

When Zhang Qian arrived on the seventh floor, he found that most of the disciples of the same period were already there, and it was very lively.

Gorgeous costumes abound.

It is rare for someone to dress simply like Zhang Qian.

His arrival did not attract any attention, and he silently found an empty seat to sit down.

A beautiful maid in thin clothes came over and poured wine for Zhang Qian. The clear green wine overflowed with a faint mellow aroma.

This is Hongyanlou's signature wine "Xianren Red".

The maid did not leave, but stayed by Zhang Qian's side to serve him diligently, with a shy look on her face, as if she was full of affection.

All the maids present knew that the seventh floor was occupied by Daomingyuan disciples tonight. To them, Daomingyuan disciples were immortals and objects of admiration.

If you are lucky enough to be favored by an immortal, you might fly up a branch and become a phoenix.

While drinking, Zhang Qian looked at his classmates who were chatting enthusiastically and listened to their romantic affairs.

Enxue disciples are both practitioners and part-time members of the imperial court. Most of them have extraordinary backgrounds and have close connections with the imperial court.

So the communication between Enxue disciples is not like a discussion between practitioners, but more like official communication, laughing and talking.

Dark night comes, evil spirits appear frequently in various places, chaos breaks out in Da Zhao, and the people are ignorant and worship the evil gods.

In order to deal with this situation, the Zhao court established a special education policy and established Daomingyuan to support the cultivation of young people with outstanding qualifications.

It is called Enxue.

After the disciples of Enxue have achieved success in their studies, they will be appointed by the court to guard a place, eliminate evil and ensure good things.

It lasts for five years and can be ended early if you make outstanding achievements.

Although the original intention of the Enxue policy is to select and train people with outstanding qualifications among the common people, the first person responsible for the selection is the people in the officialdom. Secondly, the disciples of the big families have been pampered since childhood and have been taught by famous teachers. How can their qualifications be comparable to that of ordinary civilians.

Even Zhang Qian came from a wealthy family. Even though he was a side branch and was not favored, he was still trained by the resources of the family and was much better than ordinary people.

Two people stood out in particular.

Extraordinary appearance, lingering nobility, and praised by many stars.

There are two people, a man and a woman. The man is handsome and handsome, and the woman is beautiful.

Shen Aochen, Jiang Muxue.

Not only did they come from prominent families, they were also outstanding figures among their disciples at the same time.

The aura is perfect, just one step away from foundation building, and the future is limitless.

Of course he will be the protagonist at tonight’s farewell banquet.

Everyone is about to leave the capital. They are all young people. After drinking heavily, regardless of their usual friendship, they have become particularly familiar with each other at this moment.

Zhang Qian did not participate in it. He still sat quietly in the corner, listening to everyone talking, and learned a lot of news from it.

The influence of the night is becoming more and more severe, strange events continue, and evil spirits appear frequently. The most troublesome one is worshiping evil gods.

Some powerful evil spirits have unimaginable methods. They dare to pretend to be gods, steal incense from the world, and instigate people to build temples and offer living sacrifices.

Once the people sacrifice to the evil god, they will be affected by the evil god, their temperament will change drastically, and they will become murderous and violent.

If it is just like this, although it is harmful, it is not a big problem and the court can deal with it.

However, the evil god is extremely cunning and will give power to the sacrificer. The harm to the common people with power is far beyond that of ordinary people.

It is said that not only ordinary people, but also practitioners have begun to sacrifice to evil gods in order to gain strength, which has brought great benefits but also caused greater harm.

These people are called: evil worshipers.

The evil worshipers are very cunning and secretive, making it difficult to spot them on ordinary days.

In the daytime, he may be an inconspicuous peddler or a high-sounding court official, but at night he will reveal his true nature, stir up trouble, sneak into the mansion to kill innocent people, and sacrifice to evil gods to gain strength.

As the number of evil worshipers increases, they have become a potential hazard to the Zhao government and the public.

There have been several major cases in the capital recently, and it is said that they were committed by evil worshipers. However, not all of them have been solved yet, and Zhen Yesi has been under great pressure for this.

Compared with worshiping the evil god, everyone talked more about where they would go in the future and where they were going to take office.

If there is someone in the court, you can choose to go to a prosperous place to guard. Not only is there no danger, but you can also enjoy more resources in the name of guarding.

Therefore, many Enxue disciples began to rush around to smoothen their relationships before the appointment was issued by the court.

For someone like Zhang Qian who had no plans, the place he guarded could only be the remote areas chosen by others, and he didn't care about this.

Staying away from the hustle and bustle is not necessarily a bad thing for spiritual practice.

"Senior Brother Zhang, don't you feel lonely drinking alone here?"

Shi Yanyan walked over, her eyes as clear as autumn water.

Like a close friend, sitting peacefully next to you.

A faint dark fragrance comes.

Although not as good as Shen Aochen and Jiang Muxue, Shi Yanyan is good at dancing and has outstanding appearance, and is also a highly sought after figure at banquets.

She took the initiative to sit down next to Zhang Qian, which immediately attracted a lot of attention.

Zhang Qian seemed unaware and did not feel restrained because of this. He raised his glass to signal Shi Yanyan and took a sip.

Shi Yanyan also raised her glass in return, took a sip, and suddenly invited Zhang Qian to perform to add to the fun.

All the young monks present were arrogant. Even though they showed self-restraint, they still refused to be lonely in their hearts.

Therefore, one after another people performed Dharma at the banquet to add to the fun and show off their abilities.

"Senior Brother Zhang lives in seclusion in Daomingyuan and has been cultivating in secret. He must have advanced cultivation and superb magic skills. Why not perform magic to add to the fun?"

"Miuzan, I am dull by nature. , need to spend more time practicing, so as not to fall behind others."

Zhang Qian had no intention of performing the technique, but after Shi Yanyan's repeated invitations, he still reluctantly performed the small technique.

Take out a stack of human-shaped talisman paper from your sleeve, tap it lightly with the index and middle fingers of your left hand, and the human-shaped talisman paper will seem to come alive, jumping up one by one, and walking around the table very actively.

Cultivation, a very common spell.

Some people couldn't help but chuckle when they saw Zhang Qian casting such a low-level spell.

Shi Yanyan left, she was like a butterfly dancing at the banquet, flying freely and making witty remarks.

Make the banquet atmosphere lively and make people happy wherever you place it.

The farewell party is over.
