Zhu Tian: A journey of spiritual practice starting from Joy of Life

Chapter 20 The Boy Who Scatters Gold Returns to Danzhou

"As expected of the biggest bandit chief in Huizhou!"

Leng Feibai looked at the twenty or so camphorwood boxes in front of him, each occupying an area of ​​one cubic meter. He couldn't help but curse and waved his hand to put the boxes away.

Not long after, after clearing out the remaining bandits in the stronghold and giving some silver to the laborers, women and others who were abducted from the stronghold, he set fire to the entire stronghold and turned around and left.

A month later, a legend emerged in Huizhou: the God of Wealth appeared and gave fifty taels of silver to every poor household in Huizhou.

At this moment, heading from Huizhou to Danzhou, Leng Feibai was silently calculating the expenses of this trip.

"Well, all the silver we took from the Green Forest Alliance this time has been spent. Only three boxes of gold and a few boxes of jade and jewelry are left!"

Leng Feibai couldn't help but feel a little pain. If there were more poor people in Huizhou, he would probably get nothing from this crackdown on the Green Forest Alliance!

"The old must go before the new can come. Qing Kingdom still needs other bandits. I'm going back to Danzhou for the New Year. The most important thing is to find Wuzhu to help me hone my Vajra Indestructible Divine Art!"

Leng Feibai finished speaking, a golden light flashing in his eyes. To improve the realm of the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art, it was not something that could be achieved simply by meditating and cultivating Qi.

Only by constantly using the Vajra Indestructible Magical Skill and accepting the beatings of external forces can one accelerate the improvement of cultivation.

Previously, in the valley outside Suzhou City, Leng Feibai used the impact of the waterfall to hone his Vajra Indestructible Magic Skill, giving it its current power.

At the same time, inside the imperial palace, Fan Jian pushed Chen Pingping to the outside of Emperor Qing's bedroom.

Fan Jian asked Chen Pingping curiously, "Hey, what's wrong with His Majesty today? Why did he ask you and me to have lunch with him for no reason?"

"Why, do you think my food is not tasty?"

Emperor Qing suddenly appeared in front of the two of them. Fan Jian was stunned and said with a smile, "That's not what I meant. But what does Your Majesty want to see me and Dean Chen about?"

"I want to have a meal with you guys, is that not possible?"

After saying that, Emperor Qing pushed Fan Jian aside and pushed Chen Pingping forward.

The three of them sat down around the table, and Emperor Qing spoke directly, "It's been a long time since the three of us have gathered together. Today, I'm pleased to have you all come to dinner with me. Let's eat."

Fan Jian and Chen Pingping looked at each other, picked up their chopsticks and started eating together.

Not long after, Emperor Qing put down his chopsticks and said, "The bandit problem in Huizhou Prefecture has been completely eliminated. You have received the news, right?"

Fan Jian nodded and said, "Didn't we say this at the court meeting this morning? Although Ye Wan and Qin Heng are young, they are also rising stars in the army. It will naturally not be difficult for them to eradicate a few bandits."

"But I have received news that the six strongholds in the northern border of Huizhou and the headquarters of the Green Forest Alliance were destroyed before the army arrived. They were burned to the ground."

"Oh"

Fan Jian immediately guessed something and pretended to be dumb, "Who has this ability? Isn't it said that the Green Forest Alliance headquarters is full of experts? How could they be wiped out?"

"I don't know either!"

Emperor Qing took a sip from his teacup and changed the subject, "Fan Jian, your adopted son Leng Feibai has done a lot of good things in Jiangnan."

After hearing this, Fan Jian said calmly, "It's just helping the government catch a flower thief. It's not a big deal!"

"Come to think of it, I held that child in my arms when he was still a cradle."

Emperor Qing recalled his time as the Crown Prince of Cheng and said, "And then that kid peed all over me."

"His Majesty!"

Chen Pingping quickly said, "I don't remember much about what happened back then. I just remember that baby. He was quite cute."

Emperor Qing ignored Chen Pingping and continued to talk to himself, "I still remember that she also liked that child very much. She also said that if she had a daughter in the future, she would want Leng Feibai's child to be her son-in-law. Unfortunately, she gave birth to a son."

Fan Jian and Chen Pingping lowered their heads and remained silent, especially Chen Pingping, who had a flash of coldness in his pupils.

"Fan Jian, that kid is already a seventh-rank cultivator at such a young age. He's obviously a talented person."

Emperor Qing looked at Fan Jian and said, "I want him to come to the capital. What do you think?"

"Return to your majesty!"

Fan Jian stood up and said, "My mother sent me a letter a while ago, saying that Feibai has no ambition and only wants to be a wandering knight. So she doesn't plan to let him go to the capital to take the imperial examinations. Moreover, my mother said that she is too old. Feibai is just the right person to fulfill his filial duty on my behalf!" After hearing this, Emperor Qing sighed, "There's nothing I can do about it. I don't want to leave my mother alone. Well, continue eating with me."

Half a month later, in Danzhou, outside the Fan Mansion, Fan Xian held his chin in his hand, waiting for something with a helpless look on his face.

Passersby looked at Fan Xian, stopped, and jokingly asked, "Master Fan Xian, are you still waiting for Master Feibai and the Red-Armored Knight?"

Fan Xian nodded. "Well, I wonder which one will come back first, Brother Feibai or the Red-Armored Knight?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Fan Xian's pupils shrank, and he saw a figure in the crowd, carrying a bag and covered in dust, walking towards him.

"Brother Feibai!"

Fan Xian happily jumped up from the stairs and threw himself into Leng Feibai's arms.

"Stinky boy!"

Leng Feibai rubbed Fan Xian's head and said, "It's been almost a year since we last met. You've grown quite a bit. How's your Cloud Stepping Steps going?"

After hearing this, Fan Xian laughed and said, "I've practiced really well, look!"

After saying this, Fan Xian used the Cloud Steps and flew back and forth twice.

"Not bad!"

Leng Feibai said with a smile, "It seems that you managed to escape this beating!"

Fan Xian was shocked when he heard this and quickly said, "Brother, you can't hit children during the New Year!"

"cut!"

After Leng Feibai finished speaking, he took Fan Xian back to the main hall.

Old Mrs. Fan was reading a book in the house at this moment. At this moment, Leng Feibai's voice came into her ears.

"grandmother!"

Old Mrs. Fan raised her head and saw Leng Feibai sliding down and kneeling in front of her.

"My grandson is unfilial and is late coming back!"

Seeing this, Old Lady Fan quickly stood up and helped Leng Feibai up, saying, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back. Feibai, tell me, where have you been all this time?"

Leng Feibai half lied and half seriously said, "I went to Jiangnan. The beautiful scenery of Jiangnan..."

Listening to Leng Feibai's words, Old Lady Fan nodded and said, "Okay, okay, Feibai, are you planning to go out again after you come back this time?"

Leng Feibai thought for a moment and said, "I will stay at home until the end of spring. During this time, I plan to have a good rest at home!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Fan sighed and said, "Where do you want to go after that?" Leng Feibai thought for a moment and said, "I'd better stay in Qing Country. After I break through to the ninth rank, I'll go to Dongyi City!"

"You are going to Dongyi City!"

Old Madam Fan's expression changed slightly, but she quickly regained her composure. "Dongyi City is full of experts, and Si Gu Jian's twelve disciples are all ninth-rank masters. If you go, remember not to cause trouble!"

"In fact, I've already provoked it!"

Leng Feibai didn't dare to say it out loud, he just nodded in agreement.

"Go take a shower first, and then we'll have a good meal in the evening!"

Listening to what Old Lady Fan said, Leng Feibai quickly said, "Then my grandson will take his leave first!"

After saying that, Leng Feibai and Fan Xian returned to the yard together.

Inside the courtyard, Leng Feibai looked at the letter on Fan Xian's desk and couldn't help but ask, "This is, Honglou, why are you writing this?"

After hearing this, Fan Xian said calmly, "Oh, it's for Ruoruo. I was afraid she'd be bored, so I sent it along with my letter to her!"
