Chapter 60: Failed

Of course the scholar didn't believe it.

He knew his friend. The general was dedicated to serving the country and the people, and it was absolutely impossible for him to say this. The people in the court did not comment on his impassioned speech. They only said before leaving that there was a rebel rebellion and the general needed his help.

.Is it difficult to quell the chaos? What the court wants to see is just the attitude of the general. If the general comes to discuss with him, please give him some advice, so as to remove the suspicion of rebellion on the two of them. After the matter is completed, the court can

Guarantee him to be promoted to an official position.

The scholar rejected their conditions. He still wanted to rely on his own efforts and work hard to take the exam seriously, with no regrets. But he agreed to their request: to convince his friends. All this was just for his friends.

After that, everything happened as they hoped: the general went to war, the scholar prepared for the exam, and both of them had high hopes. When their friend came back from the war, he might be famous and could help him to go to Jiutian Kingdom to pick up his daughter.

Going home... this thought supported him until the exam day approached.

The court official came again. This time, he brought wine and food to him, chatted with him in a friendly manner, and said nothing but good things. First, he praised him, saying that he knew how to advance and retreat, understood the righteousness, and persuaded the general to serve the country.

It is a great achievement to benefit the country, the people and oneself; it is also a compliment, praising him for his poetry and writing, and his talent. This time he will be selected for the examination.

It should go well; and then he promised that when he was named on the gold medal and the general returned in triumph, the imperial court decided to hold a grand celebration banquet for them, confer him an official position, promote the general, and also allocate funds for them to send people to the Nine Heavens Kingdom to find them.

People and scholars are also very happy, and they can't help but drink for the officials and their entourage. Everyone is enjoying themselves, as if they have got what they want.

...It's just that the court's wish is not his wish after all.

The official was probably greedy for drinking, and most of the fine wine he brought went into his own stomach, making him very drunk. The scholar was sober, and he organized a few people to go back to his house. The drunken official patted him.

He was talking about the future, and from that tone, it seemed that the imperial court had already made a decision, regardless of the scholar's previous refusal, and would entrust the scholar with important tasks once he was elected. The scholar was smiling bitterly, but he was caught off guard when the official said:

"Brother, you... hiccup, listen to my advice! Don't worry about the general anymore, he won't come back! Wouldn't it be wonderful for you to enjoy the fame and wealth, haha! When the time comes, don't forget me.

The grace of support..."

In the slight coolness of the fifth watch, the scholar shivered hard.

"What do you mean by this? How can you say this if you can't come back? Could it be that he has..."

"It's nothing! Fight, die in battle, and have a good reputation!" The official waved his hand, burped with wine and laughed until he coughed repeatedly and choked with tears, "You can't come back, the rebels there are

He is easy to fight, but who knows? If he quells chaos easily, he must have colluded with the rebels long ago.

He is so angry that he wants to trick the court into letting him go to sea and bring back his private soldiers! As for you, when the time comes...you have a great reputation and a high official with a generous salary, what do you think he thinks? You are a sour scholar. You sold your old friend and got a good deal.

You have a bright future! But be careful. If you don’t guarantee it, if you get promoted and make a fortune later, there will be people who will say such mean things behind your back!"

The scholar was confused. He didn't know how he could send this group of people back to his mansion, how he could still find the way back to his home, how he could pack his bags overnight and go to a foreign land where the general was fighting. He didn't take the imperial examination. How could he?

Can these hands be stained with the blood of his friends to gain fame? He just wants to hurry up, and hurry up, to find his friends and send a warning before the dust settles.

But a city in a war-torn city could not easily let people in and out. As a scholar, he had no strength to tie a chicken, and he could not enter the battlefield alone. He wandered outside the city, and he had no intention of paying attention to the gold medal that year.

Bao had a morsel of food in his hand, but he fought with the refugees until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. He was treated as a spy several times, and was kicked, kicked and kicked until the city defenders recognized his face.

Until one day when the city gates were opened and the smoke cleared, officials boarded the city and announced loudly that the land had been recovered. A tired team walked in a hurry and happened to pass by the road where he was waiting.

There was an acquaintance in this team, not a general, but a former comrade of theirs. The man recognized him, stopped the soldiers who were driving him away with other refugees who were swarming to beg, and led him to the center of the team.

He saw a tattered, blood-stained sheet covering the lifeless body.

General, he still...

The scholar did not have the courage to ask himself any more.

After all, swordsmen have no eyesight. When fighting on the battlefield, just one careless move can cost your life. As if being struck by thunder, the scholar and others sent his friends to nearby city-states and returned to the capital. His heart was filled with despair, but

A few days later I received news from my comrades.

He said that the general was still alive that day, but his life and death were unknown, and he was afraid that the scholar's great joy and sorrow would be harmful to himself. Now, after some treatment, the general's life has been saved by a good doctor in the capital. The scholar has rekindled hope.

Although he is

It almost led to a big mistake, but he finally had a chance to make amends. He regained his strength, waited for his friends, and prepared for the trial next year. He is a man of few words now, but if he had power, he would be able to contribute more, and they would also

You won't be so manipulated by others.

He miscalculated again.

They couldn't wait - they couldn't wait. After all, the scholar didn't wait for his friends, and the general didn't wait for his chance to change.

The capital is a cannibalistic place. A person's life, not to mention death, is not in his own hands. Since he had already decided to label the general as a traitor, how could the imperial court allow him to die as a loyal man? The general was saved.

After he came back, he was imprisoned soon after. The unwarranted charges that he had prepared long ago were placed on him one by one, and each one was a noose. Finally, he was suffocated to death in the deep prison.

The general didn't even know that there was a conspiracy waiting for him. He didn't know that his friend who persuaded him to go to the battlefield was instigated by others. He didn't know how regretful his friend was. Perhaps his last thought before he died was that he would never be able to take his daughter home again.

.

The scholar also failed to do it. How could the imperial court let him go to the place where his old friend who died in the war "raised private soldiers"? He asked countless people to inquire, but in the end there was no result. He knew that there were mysterious things in the world, and he was concerned about it.

In the next life, my old friend also visited capable people and strangers for this purpose. Some people spoke vaguely and deceived the world and stole their reputations. There were also some people who had real talents and knowledge, but could not calculate the secret.

Among the people with real abilities, the one who impressed him the most was a Taoist named Dan Ning. The Taoist made a fortune for him. For the general's daughter, he made a fortune very quickly and told the scholar that the child was no longer alive;

, the Taoist calculated for a long time, and frowned at the result for a long time, then carefully considered the words and sentences, and said to the scholar:

"This man was loyal to the emperor and patriotic, brave and good at fighting, caring about the people, and did many good deeds. He did not have any children, but he raised the orphaned daughter as if he were his own. He had both family affection and kindness. In addition, his daughter was blessed with blessings, and she once saved a land.

People, this is the result of doing good deeds, and it should bless your relatives. It’s just that... he already had killing karma in his hands, and he added obsessions.

Heavy, grievances aggravate the body, and finally he will be jailed and suffer a violent death. Even until death, his obsession will not diminish. He has a blessed destiny and should not be reincarnated in another life. The obsession with killing grudges will also prevent him from reincarnating as a human being. Forgive the poor man.

I can’t figure out where he is at this time or what his appearance is, but I’m afraid this person has not been reincarnated... but has turned into something inhuman."

Scholars keep it in mind.

Maybe he finally had nothing to worry about in the world. On a certain day in July, at dawn, someone fished out his body from a river. He must have been thrown into the river late at night. The neighbors were talking about it, and it was a pity that he was so sad.

Literati, he missed the National Examination last year, but this year's National Examination is coming soon, and he has no chance to go.

In this way, the scholar came to the end of his life with deep regret, and finally came to the adult. He made his last petition. He wanted to do the impermanence of the six realms, borrow the book of life and death, and use the endless time in the future to find

My old friend.

What are you doing with him? He doesn't know, everything is irreversible. But he should at least express his sincere apology to him. He is sorry for the general. No matter whether the general is a human, a ghost, a monster or a devil, everyone should know.

. Even if the long-lost friendship will be broken due to this, resentment will be filled, and weapons will be turned against him, this is what he deserves.

The gentleman agreed on the condition that he would forget everything about the general.

Since then, there has been one less scholar in the world and one more impermanence of the Six Paths.

Xi Shu Wen Xiang·Liang Yuejun.

He traveled to many places and read many records. There may be friends of his among them, but he had no way of knowing. Lord Liangyue did not find any in the book of life and death. In order to identify the monsters in the world, he even created the Chronicle of Ten Thousand Ghosts with his own hands.

This is a strange book that records the memories of all demons and monsters belonging to dead objects. He took the Chronicle of Ten Thousand Ghosts and searched for hundreds of years.

About four to five hundred years later, one day he suddenly discovered that his Wangui Zhi was actually lost. In order to find it, Liang Yuejun also tried to find someone to help. In the end, he asked the Taoist priest who founded it

One of the descendants of the sect at that time was the current Lintian Master. Lintian Master and his friends searched in many ways, and the truth they finally found was beyond everyone's expectations.

The person who stole Wangui's will was another Six Paths Impermanence, the original Liu Hanxue, Ru Yuejun. She did this because she was entrusted by a monster.

That monster is famously known as the desolate skeleton—General Skeleton.

General Shi was his old friend, General Jun. In the last days of his life, he knew bits and pieces and pieced together the truth. He did not blame his friend, and he also knew that his friend must have made an unintentional mistake and what kind of intentions he would have.

Sorry. Later, Huang Skull also found out.

The story of Liang Yuejun is worried about his stubborn and simple old friend. The benefits contained in the ten thousand ghosts he created and the horror that can be caused by driving people to pursue profit will definitely far exceed Liang Yuejun's original intention. He wants to persuade

Let go of your friends and give up this dangerous thing.

But he was obsessed with transforming into a monster, and some of his instincts as a monster were uncontrollable. When he met his friend who was searching for him again and couldn't recognize him, he originally wanted to tell the truth and persuade him.

But he was controlled by the overwhelming resentment, and he could not restrain himself from attacking his old friend. Liang Yuejun was only a scholar during his life and death, so how could he resist. Fortunately, there was also the Six Paths Impermanence present at the time.

Kanna-kun protected Liang Yue-kun and subdued Huang Skull, but did not kill him. Liang Yue-kun had forgotten about it, but Kanna-kun himself still remembered it clearly - he was going there with the general's daughter.

The comrades of Jiutian Kingdom and the general also formed a friendship of fighting side by side.

He sighed at this situation, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Wuchang was not the only one who met the general in life. After the Desolate Skull was sealed, Ruyue-kun unlocked one layer of the seal while learning the spell that has the same origin as the seal of the Dead Man's Swamp. Her true thoughts have been

There is no way to know, evidence that can be inferred

It is said that she went there to break the seal after hearing that the Desolate Skull might uncontrollably attack people related to him during his lifetime; she had also revealed long ago that as a life of impermanence, for her,

It was really unbearably long.

No matter whether she wanted to die or not, Huang Skull did not take action against her. She had nothing to do with his death, and it did not touch his instinctive resentment. On the contrary, he was extremely sober, explained his concerns to her, and also proposed

He made a request. He hoped to take away the dangerous Wangui Zhi before his friend made a big mistake... He hoped that his friend would let go of his knot and stop pursuing the unsolvable search.

Even after hundreds of years of hard work, they could not see each other again. The story between the two old friends was like the sand in the river of time, which should have settled long ago, like settled dust.

Lord Ruyue agreed. In the Swamp of the Dead, she told this story to several humans who came here following other clues. One of those people was a disciple of Linxiaoguan, the sect established by Dan Ning back then. Wan

After all, Guizhi did not return to Liangyue-kun. Everyone who knew about it hoped that he would gradually forget about this book. This incident made hundreds of years of obsession dissipate.

Things in the world never go as one wishes.
