Astral Apostle

  A tributary of the Chunshan River flows into Ningtianfu, surrounded by jade belts, called Yulin River, which is a well-known and prosperous place in the world.

   The sky will be late, the red glow will fade, and the moon will go up to the west building.

  Jade stands on the banks of the river, with continuous painting boats, juxtapositions of Zhulou, gold-painted plaques, and colorful lanterns. Red sleeves fluttering, singing and dancing, pedestrians are like weaving, wearing jade and pearls, showing the romance.

   The courtesans and courtesans competed for beauty, and the son and grandson shook the fan.

   Heaven and Earth.

   At first glance, it looks like a peaceful and prosperous world.

  Cuiyulou is a very famous restaurant on the Yulin River. It is a luxurious place. In the past, visitors were either rich or expensive.

   At this moment, in the elegant room upstairs, the prefect of Ningtian, famous scholars in the literary world, and children of aristocratic families gathered for a banquet. They were either powerful or famous.

   When such a group of people gather in a pile, the topics of conversation are naturally not only romantic and romantic, but from time to time they deviate from national affairs and court anecdotes.

"... Not long ago, the sage reiterated the matter of moving the capital. The capital is in the north, where the Taizu ascended the throne, but the wind and sand were bitter, and he could not live for long. The sage had planned to move the capital to Ningtianfu, but every time he was persuaded by the ministers... Hmph, some self-proclaimed Qingliu officials really dare to say anything, but someone scolds the Sage for being greedy for enjoyment, can this be said?"

"The matter of moving the capital is a big deal, and even Prime Minister Qin and Prime Minister Lu do not approve of it. I think it is difficult to accomplish this. However, the sage has always liked the style of Ningtian Mansion, and every year after autumn or spring, he will come to live for two or three It's been a few months, but the spring didn't come today, and most of the saints will come back in autumn."

"The Holy Master has made great efforts in the past few years, and he will build 9981 Chongsheng Pagodas, 7749 Guantian Towers, 36 Panlong Terraces, 72 Purple Jade Palaces, and 18 Tainan Towers in the world. The imperial altar, as well as the three immortal cities, will make a great contribution to the fate of the world, and it will last forever... Now only a small part of it has been built, and I don't know when it will be completed. thing."

   Everyone, you say something to me, and chat non-stop.

   At this time, Zhao Xing'an, the prefect of Ningtian, coughed, stroked his beard and smiled: "Don't talk about saints, I won't talk about that today, but I'll talk about poetry, songs, and anecdotes."

   Then everyone stopped talking about important matters of the court, and chatted about interesting things.

   Suddenly, a son of an aristocratic family dressed as a son, chuckled and said:

"I listened to the report of the servants. Today, there is a strange news in the market of Ningtianfu. It is said that during the daytime, there was a strange person who used Xianjia's means at Ximendu to walk on the river under the watchful eyes of everyone. I don't know if it's true or not."

   When everyone heard the words, they were suddenly curious and asked why.

   The son of this noble family shook his fan and said with a smile: "I don't know the specifics. Many people swear that they saw it with their own eyes, and say that this person has already entered the city, but I have never seen it before."

   "Where is this person now, and what is his name?" Someone asked curiously.

"It is said that this person was honored by Ye Shunzhong as a guest of the Ye family and lived in the Ye family mansion. The servants of the Ye family spread the name of this person, and it seemed that he was a Taoist called Lingfengzi. He knew some supernatural powers. "

   Everyone was amazed.

Zhao Xing'an smiled casually, and said indifferently: "According to the official's opinion, most of the idiots in the market have no knowledge, and they are just spreading the truth. How can there be such a magical means in the world? grandstanding, out-of-the-ordinary, swashbuckling."

   "The prefect said yes."

   Everyone in the audience cheered and agreed, and they didn’t quite believe in this deed in their hearts.

   After all, hearing is false.

   Someone ridiculed: "That Ye Shunzhong is usually shrewd, how did he get fooled this time? I would like to see that Lingfengzi and see what means he used to make Ye Shunzhong fascinated."

Zhao Xing'an nodded and said with a smile: "It's a simple matter. The official said that he asked Ye Shunzhong to bring this Taoist to the banquet. It will be interesting to see how this Lingfengzi pretends to be. It's not good to call him, let's talk about it when you have free time."

   "Haha, that must be very interesting."

   Everyone laughed and was quite interested.

  The Ye family, as a wealthy Ningtian, is also a member of their circle. Now that they see that the "insider" has been deceived, everyone is eager to join in the fun and watch jokes.

At the same time, everyone is also quite curious, what kind of strange person is this Lingfengzi, who dares to deceive the local rich and wealthy - deceiving ordinary people, it is no big deal to be exposed, but to deceive such a powerful and giant businessman, make them humiliated Well, this won't end well.

  …

   On the other side, Ningtian Mansion is on the banks of the Yulin River. One old and one young man in Taoist robes are sitting in a street shop drinking rice soup.

  The old man has a childlike face, immortal style, and looks good. The teenager was fourteen or fifteen years old, like a follower, tied with two small tugs. The robes of the two were washed white, and patches were applied in some places.

   The two of them were very busy, and they just entered the city today.

   One old man and one young man were eating rice soup, and several guests at the next table were excitedly chatting about Zhou Jing's deeds.

  The boy pricked up his ears and listened for a while, then raised his eyes to look at Laodao, lowered his voice and asked curiously, "Master, is this Lingfengzi's supernatural ability to walk on the river real?"

   Lao Dao didn't lift his head, and said casually: "Of course it's fake. Your master and I have been practicing Dao for 60 years, and I have never seen such a technique."

   The young man was a little resentful: "No, Master, didn't you say when you taught me that our Qingling Patriarch can exorcise evil spirits, hunt ghosts, spread beans into soldiers, and call for wind and rain?"

   Laodao rolled his eyes: "I haven't seen the Patriarch yet. I don't believe it anyway, whatever is written in the book."

  The young man was speechless and said depressedly: "Master, I feel that I was fooled by you when I promised to cultivate with you."

   "Be bold and get rid of the feeling."

   Laodao didn't want to pay attention to his apprentice, so he just buried himself in the soup, and soon the bowl bottomed out.

  The boy moved his **** from side to side, held it for a while, and then couldn't take it anymore, and asked in a low voice:

   "Master, do you think it's possible that I can practice the magic of Lingfengzi after I practice the techniques of our sect?"

   "If you can practice it, then you might as well be a patriarch."

   Lao Dao pouted, then pointed to the rice soup in front of the boy and asked, "Are you still eating?"

   "Oh, Master, I still want to eat."

   "Since you don't eat it, don't waste it."

   Laodao poured half of his apprentice's rice soup into his bowl, and snorted again.

   The corners of the boy's mouth twitched, and he touched the shriveled money bag, blood dripping from his heart.

   He can only comfort himself in his heart, there are many rich people in Ningtian Prefecture, and they can always find business. His master is very good at doing white things, which can make people walk peacefully, and will never cheat.

  Old Daoist finished eating the rice soup, carefully removed the rice grains from his beard, put them into his mouth one by one, and urged by the way:

   "Hurry up. After eating, I left. I used the Qi-seeking technique all the way, only to find that the demon had come to Ningtian Mansion. We have to find his trace before the breath dissipates, lest he make a fool of himself."

   Hearing this, the teenager couldn't help but muttered:

"We've been chasing him for more than half a year. If we have time, we might as well find some business to start a business. We can spend almost the same amount of money. I heard that the wealthy businessman in the city, Ye Family Taigong, is ill, and it is estimated that he will die soon... I don't know. Wouldn't it be a bit too much for us to come to the door in advance and recommend ourselves to do things?"

   "...If you want to fight, why bother others, I will do it for you."

   Laodao had a look of disgust, but he felt that this apprentice lacked heart.

   After the two finished their meal and paid the money, they got up and left, and the old and the young joined the crowd.

  …

   Zhou Jing spent the first night in Ningtian Mansion at Ye's house.

   The steward of the Ye family arranged everything, and no one came to disturb him.

  Because of the improvement of aptitude, the bottleneck of the wizard was loosened. Zhou Jing practiced witchcraft all night and never went out.

   His own deeds took time to ferment, so he decided to wait patiently for a while and then act according to the situation.

   At noon on the second day, the Ye family steward suddenly came to the door and said that Ye Shunzhong had set up a banquet and wanted to welcome him solemnly.

   Zhou Jing had nothing to do, so Shi Shiran went to the banquet.

   Soon, Zhou Jing arrived at the main hall, where several tables had been set up, and it was a feast.

   Not only Ye Shunzhong, Ye Yingguang and other big family relatives, but other houses are also here. It can be seen that Ye Shunzhong wants to introduce the whole family to him.

   Ye Shunzhong sat at the main table, quickly got up to greet him, and said enthusiastically, "Master Lingfengzi, I have been waiting for a long time, please take your seat."

  Because the current marketing image is that of a mysterious master with high skills and a cold disposition, Zhou Jing did not treat him politely, and sat directly on the main table, acting as he should.

   He glanced at it and found that except for Ye Shunzhong and others, the expressions of other Ye family relatives present were relatively indifferent.

   There were even some young people with malicious expressions on their faces, silently exchanging glances as if they were thinking about something.

   Zhou Jing squinted his eyes, it is not surprising, these people are wealthy merchants, and they have a reputation in the local area, and ordinary people dare to stand in front of them.

   And a guy of unknown origin who is suspected of being a liar in the rivers and lakes, staying in their house, still dares to take a stance, and will not hold a banquet if he is not there, these Ye family relatives will naturally feel that why should they give face.

   Zhou Jing didn't take it seriously, this was exactly what he wanted, to make his image of "superior" deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

   If someone makes things difficult for you, it will be better. You don’t need to take the initiative, you can justifiably show your hand and increase the credibility of your own image.

  Everyone arrived, and the banquet soon began. Ye Shunzhong accompanied him and introduced the family to Zhou Jing. Zhou Jing nodded casually and listened nonchalantly. This behavior made many people in the Ye family unhappy.

Except for Ye Shunzhong and Ye Yingguang who were enthusiastic, the other members of the Ye family almost ignored Zhou Jing, and they didn't even want to talk at the dinner table, the atmosphere seemed rather subtle.

   After eating like this for a while, Ye Heng suddenly stood up with a glass of wine and said loudly:

   "Master Lingfengzi, I want to toast you with a glass of wine."

The voice of    fell, and there was silence in the field.

   The eyes of many Ye family members were immediately attracted to him, and they were amazed.

  Many children and nephews looked happy and excited, and Ye Heng finally got into trouble.

   Zhou Jing raised his brows, looked at him, recalled Ye Shunzhong's introduction just now, and asked, "Are you Ye Heng?"

   Ye Heng nodded, with a complacent smile on his face, and said loudly: "Yes, not only the children of the Ye family, but also the disciples of Wushan School... I wonder if you know about my Wushan school?"

  He is pointing out his origins, implying that he is a Jianghu person with a sect.

  General swindlers don't dare to provoke famous sects. Ye Heng believes that Zhou Jing is a liar running the rivers and lakes, and wants to scare Zhou Jing and make him retreat in spite of difficulties.

   However, Zhou Jing did not know any Wushan faction at all, and even if he did, it would be fine.

   "It turned out to be a Jianghu person." Zhou Jing nodded without changing his face. Valley milling

   Seeing that Zhou Jing didn't respond, Ye Heng snorted inwardly, but did not show it on his face, he smiled and continued:

"I heard from Xia that the Taoist master is a master of Taoism, possesses supernatural powers, and has profound techniques. He can never step on the water. After practicing martial arts for many years, I never knew there were such methods in the world. It was an eye-opener. It's all in vain, and I admire it in my heart, so I want to toast a glass of wine to the Taoist priest, don't you know if the priest is willing to show his face?"

   "It's easy to talk."

   Zhou Jing responded casually, feeling that this person was speaking with a needle in his mouth, as if the visitor was not good, and he suddenly became concerned, and simply sat and watched what the other party did.

   Hearing this, Ye Heng walked up with a smile and a wine glass.

   Zhou Jing raised his glass and touched it.

   However, at the moment of clinking the glasses, a strange force came, sticking to his glass, the strength contained but did not spit.

   Zhou Jing immediately noticed the abnormality. Looking at Ye Heng's smiling expression, he immediately knew that the other party was using his inner strength to try him out, or to make him embarrassed.

   His heart moved, and he didn't use his physical fitness to break the trick.

   On the other side, Ye Heng used his inner strength silently, but he didn't feel Zhou Jing's strength feedback.

  ‘This person is not only a liar, he doesn’t even know martial arts…’

   At this time, he didn't consider attacking, just to test whether Zhou Jing had martial arts by his side.

  If this charlatan knows martial arts, it will not be so easy to debunk other people's "magic powers". He has prepared several plans.

   But since this person is not proficient in martial arts, then there is no need to trouble, Ye Heng simply turned the temptation into making things difficult, and his luck was shocked.

Snapped!

   The wine glass in Zhou Jing's hand suddenly fell apart.

   The wine in it was poured directly towards Zhou Jing under the force of force.

   If he is covered in drenched face and embarrassed, then the person's deliberately pretending to be a "skilled man" can be regarded as a puncture.

   Ye Heng flashed his thoughts, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he was ready to watch Zhou Jing make a move.

   However, the next moment, his eyeballs almost flew out of his sockets.

  Hoo!

  I saw that Zhou Jing did not move, and a whirlwind was born out of thin air, which even rolled up the wine in front of him, circling in the air like a vortex.

   Immediately after, he opened his mouth to suck, and the drink turned into a water arrow, swooping and flying, all of which fell into his mouth.

   At this time, Zhou Jingcai wiped his mouth modestly, and his tone was meaningful:

   "Little brother, this glass of wine is quite strong."

   There was an instant silence in the field.

where am I? who I am? What am I seeing? !

   The scene just now was completely unconcealed, and the people present saw it so clearly that they almost dropped their jaws.

   Ye Heng was even more stunned on the spot, with a look of disbelief, almost doubting his life.

   He is the closest and sees the most clearly, but he can't see any doorway at all,

   A wind was created out of nowhere and swept away the drink.

   Ye Heng has been practicing martial arts for many years, and it is not that he has never seen a master in the arena. He knows that internal strength can never do such a thing.

   Could it be that it is not a juggling of the rivers and lakes, but a real supernatural power? !

   This is impossible!

   Ye Heng's throat twitched, his heart was numb for a while, he was stunned in place with a glass of wine, he didn't know how to respond, his legs were a little soft.

   At this time, Ye Shunzhong reacted and became furious. He pointed at Ye Heng and shouted:

   "Presumptuous! What are you going to do! I..."

  Zhou Jing suddenly raised his hand to stop Ye Shunzhong, deliberately stared at Ye Heng with a blank face, and saw the other party's forehead sweating, and then said lightly:

   "Little brother toasted me with a glass of wine, I'll give you a toast too."

   "What, what?"

   Ye Heng didn't react.

  Hoo!

   The next moment, his body suddenly involuntarily floated into the air, swept up by a gust of wind, and flew straight out of the main hall.

   Zhou Jing also got up and followed him out.

   The people from the Ye family were shocked and hurriedly chased after them.

   As soon as they got to the yard, everyone saw Ye Heng rolling in the air, being blown away by the gusts of wind and unable to land, kept going up and down, and being tossed back and forth.

   "Daoist Master! Daoist Master, I know I was wrong!"

  Ye Heng was so frightened that he was helpless and screamed in horror. He wanted to struggle, but he had nowhere to turn to, so he could only flutter at a loss.

   Zhou Jing pretended not to hear, but the old **** said:

   "My supernatural power can be used to control thunder and lightning, cloud soldiers and wind generals. It is mysterious and unreasonable. Since my little brother admires my supernatural powers, let's take a good look at it."

   Actually, Bill can be a lightning bolt and can only ride the wind.

   But bragging, of course, it has to be blown up, and the hype will make people uncertain about his real details.

   "The Taoist priest spared me! I obeyed, really obeyed!"

   Ye Heng didn't know that Zhou Jing was rectifying him, so he hurriedly screamed, panicking.

   Zhou Jing saw this, and then withdrew his mana.

  Ye Heng fell into the courtyard with a thud, still in shock, stroking his chest, only feeling that his heart was about to jump out of the cavity.

   Zhou Jing didn't wait for everyone to speak, he spoke first, and said lightly:

   "I don't have a bad mind when I read you, I just punished you a little bit, but I saw that you didn't welcome me very much, and the poor people were not too **** me, so I left."

After saying   , Zhou Jing walked away without hesitation.

   At this moment, the people of the Ye family who were present finally recovered from their shock. They turned pale with shock, and they stepped forward to retain them and hurriedly rounded up the situation.

   "What did the Daoist Master Lingfengzi say, the Daoist priest is willing to live in, our Ye family is full of brilliance, how can we not welcome it?!"

   "It's just some juniors messing around, the Taoist priest should not take it to heart."

   "Ye Heng! Roll over for me and kowtow to the Taoist master to admit your mistake!"

   Numerous Ye family relatives scrambled to speak, their enthusiasm could not be more enthusiastic, and it was completely different from the indifferent appearance before.

   After seeing Zhou Jing's mysterious methods with their own eyes, everyone knew that they were very wrong - Ye Shunzhong was right, this person is really a master, and he is the kind of sky-high!

How can someone like    be let go at will?

Many relatives of the Ye family regretted that they had a bad attitude and neglected the masters. At this moment, they could not care about the front and back. Retain Zhou Jing.

   People have all lived in their homes and formed a good relationship. If you get angry with such an expert, you will lose money to your grandma's house!

   Ye Shunzhong was annoyed by his family's unnecessary actions, which almost ruined his efforts, so he hurriedly followed by and persuaded:

   "Don't be angry, they don't know what they are capable of, so they have doubts. I apologize to the Taoist on their behalf, and hope that the Taoist will let me do my best for the sake of my dedication."

   Hearing the words, Zhou Jing stopped and stopped, holding on to the stance of playing hard to catch, and nodding in a pretentious manner:

   "Well, you and I are destined, and I don't care about your face."

   "The Taoist priest is high and graceful, I am ashamed!"

  Everyone was overjoyed and hurriedly sent a series of good words to welcome Zhou Jing back to the banquet and start the banquet again.

   This time, the atmosphere became extremely warm, and everyone took turns toasting Zhou Jing, in awe.

   At this time, no one felt that Zhou Jing's aloof attitude was inappropriate anymore. They only thought that an expert should have this kind of temperament. When he could say a word to Zhou Jing during a toast, he was flattered and flushed with excitement.

   Ye Heng took the wine again, trembling, and said crampedly:

   "Ling, Lingfeng, Taoist priest, I don't know the real person face to face. I have the mind to play, and I bumped into the Taoist priest.

   Zhou Jing waved his hand and said with a light smile:

   "It doesn't matter, I don't care anymore, but your inner strength is quite warm, so it's not bad."

   Hearing this, Ye Heng was shocked.

   Sure enough, how could such a high-level person not be proficient in martial arts? People have already discovered his little tricks, and it is impossible to hide it!

   Ye Heng became more and more in awe.

   Zhou Jing was dealing with the enthusiastic Ye family members, seemingly casual, but nodded secretly in his heart.

   He had already thought about it, showing off in front of the entire Ye family, calming the Ye family, and transforming this giant businessman from a doubter into a supporter.

   This way, follow-up matters will be easier to handle.

   Zhou Jing's eyes flashed.

  ‘This springboard is now being set up. ’
