Chapter 1,193 Preface and Postscript of Senior Brothers
Chinese Confucian Temple.
On the steps, Old Master Li took a break from his busy work and smoked a dry cigarette.
The weather is a bit stuffy, and the summer sun shines on the world like warm wine.
A thin old man ran over from the corridor. When the gentlemen and sages on the road saw the old man, they all called him Literary Sage. The old man would nod vigorously every time without delaying his steps. He sat on the side of the steps and raised his eyebrows at Old Master Li.
Thumbs up and said with a smile: "Justice! Thanks."
Old Master Li waved the smoke and said, "In a Confucian temple where sages gather, what's the point of asking for a word of thanks for just saying something fair?"
The old scholar chuckled and said, "You are known to be boring and difficult to deal with. I have nothing to talk about. Why are you taking it seriously?"
Old Master Li asked doubtfully: "It's such a big good thing, why didn't you rush over to join in the fun?"
The old scholar snorted without saying any reason.
Old Master Li was silent for a moment, knocked his cigarette pole against the steps, and said, "It's summer, Mr. Wen Sheng, would you like to hear some words about winter?"
The old scholar immediately raised his hand and said, "Don't talk! Don't listen!"
Old Master Li thought to himself and said: "With no one to rely on, and empty hands, it is hard to break into a new realm. There is a world and a different world. It is not easy."
The old scholar hurriedly tried to dissuade him: "Okay, okay. I'll save the rest of what I said. On such a great day, Mr. Li, please don't say anything bad to spoil my mood. If you dare to spoil my mood, I will go."
Ruin your private stash of tobacco. When we scholars speak, every spit is like a nail!"
Old Master Li continued: "The further you go up, the more firmly you have to stand."
"Two empty fists hold the past and present, hold life and death in hand, and hold the light of the sword. Once you succeed, you must be willing to let go."
"A bamboo stick carries the wind and the moon, carries fame and wealth, and carries the current situation. It must also be able to rest its shoulders when tied to it."
So that's it. The old scholar smiled leisurely and said: "This is a good order, good. I always say that Mr. Li, you have great respect for my knowledge, but you are thin-skinned and hide it deeply. Those young people never believe it."
After all, if the order is different, it will have completely different meanings.
The old scholar slapped his knees, yes, it doesn't matter if you do something to be confident in the future, it doesn't matter because you have done something with a clear conscience.
Old Master Li said: "Whether I admire your lineage of knowledge or not, it depends on the human heart. Anyway, I know very well that several of your students value my knowledge."
The old scholar was just about to spit out the fragrance, but he heard Old Master Li say: "The title of gentleman and wise man, or being a nominal deputy head of the academy, or even being the secretary of the academy, even if the Confucian Temple wants to give it, you still have to persuade me.
Don't accept closed disciples, it's not interesting at all, it will only add a lot of burden in vain."
The old scholar said "Oh", and it was difficult to answer the call for a while. "A gentleman, a sage, a deputy commander or something like that is indeed meaningless, but the academy secretary still needs to consider it, right?"
I never thought that Old Master Li would blow out a smoke ring and hold a tobacco stick in his hand, and what he said next would make even an old scholar who has seen big storms stunned.
"Let me see, the Confucian Temple is still too petty, and the ritual saints are not right. If you really want to give him a Confucian identity, why bother? Be more generous and directly give him a deputy leader of the Confucian Temple."
The old scholar was stunned, and quickly reached out and slapped Old Master Li on the mouth, and muttered in a panic: "I don't want to talk about it, I don't want to talk about this!"
Several Confucian scholars from the Confucian Temple who wanted to consult with Old Master Li were even more shocked when they saw this scene. Even if they didn't have a good conversation, why did the Confucian Master still get involved?!
————
There are five gates with the highest standards in the capital. After passing this gate, you will reach the palace city. As a rule, only the emperor can pass through the tallest and widest central gate, but today Emperor Song He and Chen Ping'an are walking in this doorway together.
It is not easy to go through the slightly shorter gates on both sides. Either you have a good pregnancy and you will be a relative of the emperor when you are born, or your official fortune is good enough to be able to be a minister and a minister, and you can truly achieve the ultimate position.
The onlookers on both sides of the royal road in the imperial city at the back all guessed that the two groups of sword immortals went through these two gates. The court did not show any disrespect. However, the Song family of Dali made an exception again. The two groups of sword immortals did not change their route, but went straight.
Following His Majesty the Emperor and the new Imperial Advisor, we walked on this doorway.
The emperor values heroes.
After a brief silence, the entire capital instantly erupted into bursts of more enthusiastic shouts, "Da Li, Da Li!"
Inside, the light was a little dim and obviously a little cooler than outside. Guo Du turned to his Taoist companion and asked softly: "Are you okay?"
Ling Xun smiled and said: "It's the first time I see so many people. I'm really nervous. But it's okay. I just stare at your back and recite a few Taoist instructions silently in my heart."
Just because Ling Xun has a strange habit, she gets nervous when there are many people. And once it reaches a certain critical point, Ling Xun will become another person with an extreme personality. She will be extremely violent with her sword, and her killing power will also be
A lot higher, close to the fairyland.
There are also some great dynasty cities in the wild world. There are a large number of monster monks who have cultivated human form. They walk around everywhere, but Ling Xun never sets foot. I remember that when Guo Du first met Ling Xun, it was in a completely
The Immortal Dojo was reduced to ruins, a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. There were no corpses of hundreds of monks in the Immortal Mansion. All they could see was a female swordsman who looked like a murderous god, full of evil aura. Her face was filled with tears and regret, and she was posing in a horizontal posture.
The posture of killing oneself with a sword... Ling Xun, who had regained his senses, still did not forget to dissuade Guo Du to stay away from this place and not get close to her. At that time, Guo Du's idea was simple, killing anyone in the wilderness was not killing, it was a good thing.
Whether he left the wilderness and came to Haoran, entered Nanbosu Island to become a genealogical monk of the Dragon Elephant Sword Sect, or joined Luolu Mountain out of nowhere to participate in this celebration, Ling Xun was a husband and wife, and had no objections. Ling Xun had never been there.
The battlefield, like the Taoist companion Guo Du, is not well known in the wilderness. He has always used seeking secluded places to explore and set foot in the secrets of ruins as his "Daoist" pleasures besides sword refining and practice.
But for some unknown reason, Guo Du has not given Qi Tingji the map of Kantu that he spent hundreds of years carefully drawing. Guo Du didn't tell him why, and Ling Xun didn't ask.
Guo Du said from his heart: "I can't believe in Qi Tingji who does not seek fame but only values reality. So I want to enter the Longxiang Sword Sect and see Qi Tingji's conduct in life with my own eyes before I make a decision. I'm afraid that Qi Tingji will be forced by the situation.
A hero once is to become a hero who can overturn the world in the future."
In the last offensive and defensive battle of the Great Wall of Swords, only Qi Tingji, one of the three old swordsmen with outstanding military exploits, retreated, Dong Sangen died in battle, and Chen Xibing was reincarnated. In addition, Nalan Shaowei relied on a long-life lamp to continue his life, and even
Even the old deaf child has fallen into a state of decline.
Ling Xun, who was not familiar with the world, asked curiously: "Do Zhu Su and Jin Zircon have the same thoughts as your husband?"
Guo Du explained helplessly: "It's different. They sincerely surrendered to Qi Tingji. They only told the identity of the first-level Wen Sheng gate disciples and scared off Gao Shuang and Huang Ling. Who would want to get involved too deeply with the Confucian Temple? The first-level hidden
official status
, which also made Mei Kong feel wary. Coupled with the relationship between Zhu Su and Zhu An, as well as Xiao Xun's grudges with Zuo Zuo, Chen Ping'an was both a hidden official and Zuo Zuo's junior brother. Putting himself in Zhu Su's shoes, I would also have to do it.
My heart beats with drums."
In Guo Du's eyes, generally speaking, the monks in the wild world pay more attention to their sect's orthodoxy than Haoran, but they have almost no concept of family and country. Since the concept of family and country is extremely weak, how can we talk about "the world"? Haoran Tianxia
At the end of the day, it is important to say that "every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world." If the completely different posthumous names of Xun Yuan and Wanyan Laojing still lead to success and defeat, then the harsh criticism of Chen Chun'an, a mellow scholar, is well worth it.
Having fun.
As for the local sword cultivators of the Great Sword Qi Wall, their view is very simple. Anyway, neither side is a good bird, so it’s none of my business. If the barbarian army can bypass the Great Sword Qi Wall and directly invade Haoran Jiuzhou, do you think Guo Du and the others will not care about it? Xiao Xiao
Xun, Zhang Lu, the others, and the one who is said to have assassinated Xin at the top of the city.
As the swordsman of Yin Guan Chen Pingan, Guo Du does not necessarily regard them as enemies. In fact, quite a few private swordsmen were able to leave the wilderness alive or are still hiding there, all thanks to Xiao Xun
The late official did not report what she knew, and she deliberately turned a blind eye.
When Zhu Su's Taoist heart became stable, Qi Tingji smiled and asked Zhu Su in a heartfelt voice, "How is the effect?"
Zhu Su calmed down his mind and said in high spirits, "Excellent. The effect is even better than grinding out a large piece of the Dragon Slaying Platform."
It turns out that one of Zhu Su's natal flying swords is called "San Lai". The tempering of the flying sword is related to all the sounds in the world. It is attributed to Lu Chen who first proposed the three sounds of heaven, earth and man.
In order to improve the quality of this natal flying sword, Great Wall once specialized in the study of music, but the benefits were limited and could not support her to break the Nascent Soul Bottle.
neck, she turned to the battlefield again, and finally took the initiative to serve as a private sword, sneaking into the wilderness, which was regarded as a balance between public and private matters. For a Jade Pure Realm sword cultivator who travels around the world, the sounds of nature are easy to seek, and the sounds of earth are common, but only humans
Lai, it turned out to be difficult. You must know that Zhu Su once became so cruel that he decided to give up his physical body and almost turned to become a god, but was dissuaded.
Just now, the whole capital was roaring with a "roll call" like a tsunami. Gao Shuang and the others just had their own thoughts, and they all had a deeper understanding and feeling of Haoran, Dali, and Chen Ping'an. However, Zhu Su had the exclusive opportunity.
With the right time, place and people, we can actually practice swordsmanship in seclusion. The key is that the roads are smooth, droughts and floods ensure harvests, and we can enjoy the success of swordsmanship with bamboo! There are nearly a million people, almost everyone has no distracting thoughts, and at the same time they shout the true name of "Zhusu",
If this is not a piece of human nature, what is?
Moreover, under Qi Tingji's suggestion, of course he chose Chen Ping'an and Ning Yao intentionally or unintentionally, helped explain a few words, and suggested that the sword cultivators each dedicate a ray of their minds to attach their names to Zhu Su's flying sword.
This move is like writing an article on paper and inscribing it on a stele, like a monk living in a tin teaching Dharma, like a Taoist priest borrowing a temple to rest and "giving his name" to the owner. Then the bamboo with this natal flying sword is like the landscape spirit in the temple.
, enjoying the most exquisite incense alone.
Zhu Su was so excited that he couldn't contain his excitement and said with a trembling voice: "There is hope for breaking through."
The local sword cultivators of the Great Wall of Sword Qi are obsessed with the Immortal Realm beyond the imagination of the outside world.
Qi Tingji reminded: "The proposal was made by me. This 'shrine' is not a dojo but is built by Chen Ping'an. Of course, the first one to agree to this without hesitation was Mr. Xiao Mo."
If Xiao Mo, who was called at that time, remained silent and chose to turn a deaf ear, then Xie Gou would definitely follow and pretend not to hear anything. After that, the choice of Mi Yu, Jiang Shangzhen and these old people from the mountain would be obvious. Even if Qi Tingji takes the lead
Lu Zhi, who signed her name to San Lai and stood behind him, might not follow his instructions given her usual character. Even if Gao Shuang and the others were nostalgic for the past, and including Mei Dandang, they would still be greatly reduced. It is estimated that they would not be able to have the best performance so far.
When 30% of the best results are achieved, it is time to burn the bamboo with high incense.
Zhu Su nodded and said: "I know it well!"
Xie Gou admired from the bottom of his heart: "Wow, it won't take long. From now on, I can no longer call you Sister Zhu Su, but I will call you Zhu Sword Fairy."
Mi Yu smiled and said: "Good things come in pairs, and I will also take advantage of it. From now on, being called 'Mi Jianxian' will finally not sound like a curse word."
Qi Tingji smiled and said: "The golden elixir is in my hometown, the Yuanying is in the battlefield, the jade is in the wilderness, and the immortal is in Haoran?"
Zhu Su said: "I hope so."
Lu Zhi said: "Ascend to the five colors later?"
Chen Ping'an said: "Ascension to Ascension City is even more relevant and appropriate to the situation."
Ning Yao smiled and said: "Looking forward to it."
Xie Gou said: "Sure enough, Zhu Sword Fairy's resume is a legend. Sister Zhu Su, if you are interested in publishing it, I can help you write your biography."
Xiao Mo nodded, "It's indeed worth reading."
Bamboo is tangy.
Mei Gong was walking at the end with her apprentice. She hesitated for a while, but decided to explain a few words to Chen Pingan from her heart, "Yin Guan, I must admit that I am the most selfish person in the team today. No one.
Lu Zhi and the others have a very average opinion of me, and I know it, I understand, and I can’t blame them. I never utter any high-sounding beautiful words, I just promised Yin Guan that as long as they don’t damage the meandering road,
In order for him to achieve enlightenment steadily, during this period, someone must be responsible for the infamy, or the dirty work that cannot be seen in the light. Neither I nor my disciple Mei Dandang will say anything. Yin Guan only cares about private matters.
If you don't do what you're told, it's our problem; if you do well, it's our duty as masters and disciples!"
The ordinary people below the mountain each have their own ambitions to become gods, and due to chance and temperament, they often go their separate ways, and they have to be careful about the dispute between them.
Mei Gong had an intuition that if he had said it any later, it might have turned out to be bad news.
Chen Ping'an patiently listened to Mei Kong's inner words and said with a smile: "Master's love and care for his disciples. I am both a student and a master to others. Shuyi can understand and accept it. I can accept it."
Disciples like Mei Dandang are human beings, and I am afraid they should be cherished a little more. Although I am not a gentleman, I am not a villain either, so let me speak openly. In the future, the scale of our sect will become larger and larger. On the mountain
Grudges are unavoidable, and there will definitely be places where seniors and Zhenze Sword Immortal need to secretly contribute, so let's make a verbal agreement, limited to three times? I think three times is too many, so we can discuss it."
Mei Gong smiled without hesitation: "Then we agreed, we will take action three times! Yin Guan is not a sanctimonious gentleman who cherishes his feathers, nor is he a ruthless villain with no bottom line. Okay, this is the best! Then I will do it completely
I'm relieved. I was previously afraid that Master Chen Shanzhu of Luopo Mountain would be constrained by the sages and principles in everything he did. I was also afraid that the last hidden official of the Sword Qi Great Wall would hate all monsters and would rather kill a hundred by mistake.
If I misplace one of them, if I take Mei Dan up Mount Luopo, I will be trapped in a trap."
Chen Pingan nodded.
Mei Gong said cautiously: "Can Mei Dandang and Mr. Xiaomo recognize each other as a second master? If it's difficult, it's okay to be an anonymous disciple?"
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "Senior, please accept it as soon as you see fit."
Mei Gong said: "Then I will never mention this matter again, and I won't even think about it. Please rest assured, Yinguan, and promise to do what I say."
“So best.”
Chen Pingan nodded and reminded: "Luopo Mountain is not a one-worded house. I understand you, but it does not mean that you can ignore the opinions of most people. Since you have become a genealogy monk, you must know how to do as the Romans do when you are in the country. I will not let you learn one thing."
Learn from Mi Yu, but you can take a look at the old deaf boy, plus Xiao Mo and Xie Gou, I believe you can always figure out a mountaineering path that is most suitable for your master and disciple."
Mei Gong nodded and said: "That makes sense!"
Chen Pingan suddenly said: "As a master, you can have a hundred reasons to convince yourself that Mei Dandang is just a pure swordsman who loves the way of swordsmanship, and that the wild monster clan is just a natural identity. But on my side, as long as you find
For one reason, he must die."
The plum niche was horrified and speechless.
Chen Ping'an's words were addressed to Mei Chan, and he did not hide them from Mei Dandang.
Therefore, when Mei Dandang heard this, he said: "Look for an opportunity. Yin Guan has the final say on the time and place. I can spread out the inner lake of the dojo and let Yin Guan, Mr. Xiao Mo or Bai Jing, find out what's going on and make sure
Authenticity.”
Chen Pingan narrowed his eyes and said, "Are you sure?"
Mei Dandang said: "It's certain!"
Chen Ping'an smiled and said: "Xiao Mo and Xie Gou have already explored it a long time ago."
Mei Dandang was extremely nervous for a moment.
While Mei Gong was relieved, he couldn't help complaining, "Yin Guan, you just said that you are neither a gentleman nor a villain. Isn't this a hypocrite and a true villain at the same time?"
Chen Ping'an sighed and said with a smile: "I am a big-hearted person and can listen to other people's true words."
Mei Dandang couldn't help but laugh. He had imagined a hundred images of the young hidden official before, but he never thought he would be such a prominent figure.
At the same time, Chen Pingan asked Mei Dandang alone in his heart, "Have you decided when to give up the status of master and apprentice and become Xiao Mo as your master?"
Mei Dandang felt a little guilty and replied in an uncertain tone: "Let's wait until I reach the Ascension Realm."
Chen Ping'an said: "Then just hold on tight."
Mei Dandang was also generous, "I will rely on my sword practice to achieve enlightenment. It will only take the year of the monkey and the month of the horse to achieve enlightenment. I guess I still need more guidance from Mr. Xiao Mo and Senior Bai Jing."
Chen Ping'an clicked his tongue and joked, "Isn't it because of the missing sentence 'How offended' that you, Mei Jianxian, can't hold it in your face and harbor resentment from now on?"
Mei Dandang was stunned by this meaningless question. He just shook his head. After thinking about it, he still treated people with sincerity, "I am not a scholar in the world, so I don't like this."
Qi Tingji is about to go on a journey to the wild world. Perhaps that is the real way of sending someone off. How offending is that?
Xie Gou laughed from the bottom of his heart and said: "Mei Gong is also a ruthless person. What she was thinking just now, if we really confirm the identity of Mei Dandang as a dead soldier, she will kill people herself and will never do it to others.
"
Xiao Mo echoed: "I'm impressed."
Lu Zhi said: "From this point of view, he has not lost his true nature as a swordsman."
Xuanyang tentatively said: "Ning Yao, Huang Ling and I can spend our own money to rebuild the two private residences, Jingangpo and Baihao'an, on the Feisheng City side? Unfortunately, we have not preserved the construction drawings from that year.
It doesn’t matter, as long as there are no typos or typos in the three words on the plaque.”
Having said this, Xuanyang began to enjoy himself.
Huang Ling smiled and said: "As long as it is built, it doesn't matter who can live in it."
Ning Yao said: "This matter is not a problem. There is an archive over there at the Summer Palace. Chen Ping'an has long ago specially filed these documents as 'Creation' entries and they are well preserved. An agenda has been passed in the previous Ascension City meeting.
, all private swords who have died in battle and have not returned from abroad, as long as they have a righteous inheritance, can choose their own address and rebuild their private residences. In addition to hanging plaques, they can also erect monuments to commemorate the events. However, the current person in charge of the money, Marquis Gaoye of Quan Mansion,
He said that since you have defected to Old Sword Immortal Qi and been included in the Dragon Elephant Sword genealogy, you can only be regarded as half of Feisheng City. There is definitely no problem in rebuilding the mansion, but you have to pay for it yourself."
Xuanyang smiled and said: "As expected of Quanfu who settles accounts, he is very good at making calculations."
Ning Yao laughed it off.
The style of work of the Quanfu line will only be more eye-opening for you when you go there. I just say that each "accounting room" has its own name plaque, one by one, which is very easy to understand.
I heard that the young people there all regard someone as their founder.
Huang Ling asked: "Ning Yao, I heard that in order to accumulate military exploits, Yin Guan secretly left the summer palace and went out to the city to kill demons. He hid his identity and even covered his face and dressed like a woman?"
Ning Yao said angrily: "That's nonsense!"
Xuanyang wanted to be more knowledgeable, so he asked Mi Yu. As a result, Mi Dajianxian suddenly became anxious, "Do you take the nonsense I heard from you seriously? Don't listen to the rumors! Who said it? Let him come out and confront me face to face!"
Huang Ling and Xuanyang looked at each other and understood. Yes, it must be true.
Lu Zhi glanced at Mi Jianxian. Mi Yu was stunned. Why, even Lu Zhi couldn't be angry?
Gao Shuang suddenly spoke and asked: "Gaojiu Mengzi? Can you bear this without taking a few mouthfuls of horse urine?"
Huang Ling said: "It was really hard, and I couldn't help but take out the wine bottle and take a few sips."
His eyes lit up, Huang Ling secretly asked in his heart: "Chai Wu, do you want to drink?"
Chai Wu said: "I think about it, but I don't dare."
I heard that the emperor's territory had a lot of rules. Her former master and now foster father, Wei Xian, said that he used to be an official in the palace, and when the emperor was unhappy, he would drag anyone out to behead him.
Huang Ling said: "I'll drink first, you follow?"
Chai Wu thought for a while, "Forget it, there are so many people watching, and I don't want to be misunderstood as a drunkard."
When she was young, she had only a bamboo basket to accompany her at the bottom of the well. She kept looking at the mouth of the well, hoping to see her parents again, or even just a living person passing by.
But she gradually came to know that her parents would not come back, and no one in the world would know about her.
Later, she somehow learned to breathe and survived. Later, she earned some money in that white-collar shop, and then met her master who loved to drink and called himself Hailiang.
Master said that her parents are good people, but the world is too chaotic and they cannot help them do more things. Master also said that your parents are willing to leave all the food to you. Some parents are not like this.
In fact, they are very selfish and only love themselves all their lives. For example, when they escape and go to a porridge shop for disaster relief, they will not think about giving it to their children first, or they may hide it secretly and eat it secretly if they get a steamed bun.
There is only one well between heaven and earth.
The little girl's eyes were sore and she sniffed.
There is an extra hand on her head. No need to guess, it is Chief Zhou who is walking at the back of the team.
Chai Wu said softly: "I'm fine."
Jiang Shangzhen said with a smile: "If you want to drink, drink. If the mountain master pursues you, just tell me the wine I gave you."
After all, Chai Wu was still loyal. He plucked up the courage and asked timidly: "Mr. Chen, can I have a drink secretly?"
Chen Pingan turned his head, smiled warmly, and said, "Drink whatever you want. If His Majesty the Emperor is angry, I will take care of it for you."
Emperor Song He also smiled and turned around, "Chai Wu, just drink. In our territory of Dali, you don't have to spend money on drinking in the future. You can pay Song He on credit."
Chai Wu looked confused, ah? Real or fake, does this matter?
About to walk up the steps outside the main hall, Chen Pingan seemed to have slowed down intentionally or unintentionally at this moment.
Emperor Song He also took advantage of the situation and stopped, took a deep breath, turned around and clasped his fists and said: "Fellow sword immortals! May the drinkers just drink hard, and the Dali court will be honored!"
————
In the northeast corner of the palace, the residence of the Queen Mother, with a deep courtyard and lush greenery, Nanhan wanted to personally receive a distinguished guest from Xiandu Peak in Chuzhou.
Lu Shen's visit to the capital to meet the Queen Mother was notified to the Dali court. The Chief of Ceremonies, Zhang Yin, personally led Lu Shen through the many gates. He walked here and stopped outside the palace. Then a personal maid of the Queen Mother led Lu Shen through.
palace gate.
Finally meeting the founder again, Nan Hairpin felt complicated. With the bracelet, Nan Hairpin had restored the memory of his previous life, just like flipping through a book.
The most vivid image in my memory is that of an extremely tall and spacious lobby, paved with spotless and extremely hard white floor tiles. The head of the Lu family, God Lu, standing at the front as the chief priest, looks like a statue with his back to all living beings in the world.
God, at that moment, time seemed to be frozen.
Nan Hao's thoughts changed rapidly and she suddenly fell to her knees, "Lu Jiang pays homage to the Patriarch."
Nan Hao burst into tears, fell to the ground, did not dare to raise her head, and choked with sobs: "Lu Jiang has failed his trust and is a sinner of the family. I beg the ancestor to punish him."
Facing Lu Jiang's kneeling ceremony, Lu Shen accepted it calmly. After hearing her words expressing her intention, Lu Shen waited for a moment and said softly: "You can get up now."
Nan Hao hesitated for a long time, then stood up obediently and turned sideways to wipe her tears.
Lu Shen suddenly shouted, "Lu family from China, Lu Shen, have met the Queen Mother of Great Li."
Nan Hao was stunned, then relieved, and then she was extremely pleasantly surprised. Finally, she finally drew a clear line between herself and the Lu family in Middle-earth!
Lu Shen smiled and said: "I have long heard that the Queen Mother's ancestral home is Yuzhang County, Hongzhou, with beautiful bells and towering trees. I want to go and see it if I have the chance."
After hearing this, Nan Hairao seemed to have taken a huge reassurance. I believe that from now on, there will be no "Lu Jiang" on the genealogy of Lu's ancestral hall, and there will only be Nan Hairao, the Empress Dowager of Da Li!
Lu Shen, however, was very familiar with the character of Nan Hairpin and his ilk, and said with a smile: "Queen Mother, not long ago, I took the initiative to visit Luo Po Mountain, face to face with Chen Guoshi, and explained the misunderstanding clearly. Now I am at Xiandu Peak
Living in seclusion is a close neighbor to Luopo Mountain. I may not go to Yuzhang County to visit the mountains and rivers, and the Queen Mother does not have to go to Xiandu Peak to enjoy the scenery and relax, you and I can just let it happen."
The content of his words could be described as extremely polite, but Lu Shen's demeanor and eyes were unabashedly distant and indifferent.
The stone bench next to the table was covered with bright yellow cushions, and the two parties seemed to be sitting on equal footing... Hearing this, Nan Hao felt horrified, and immediately restrained her emotions, lowered her eyebrows and said, "I understand."
Lu Shen remained silent and just laughed it off. Nan Hao was on pins and needles. Until Lu Shen stood up and left, Nan Hao was still distracted and couldn't calm down for a long time.

Lin Shouyi's study room in the Imperial Prefecture is one of the six rooms in the east wing of the third courtyard. The desk is next to the window, and there is a study room. It is the celadon fired in his hometown. There are plants outside the window.
There are several poles of purple bamboo, and the wind blows the bamboo leaves,
The bamboo shadows on the table also swayed. Lin Shouyi was copying a book, and the tip of his pen rustled on the paper. Occasionally, he looked up and saw the clear blue sky under the sky. The bamboo shadows were whirling, as if he was in a cool world, rushing to take an exam.
A scholar is like a man in a blue sarong cage.
At the door of this wing, a Taoist priest with slender eyebrows appeared. He was handsome, and it was hard to tell whether he was male or female. He often wandered under the peach tree.
His name is Song Yunjian, his Taoist name is Yingning, and he claims to be the same as Lin Shouyi. They both stayed under the umbrella of this mansion.
Song Yunjian smiled and said: "Master Lin, I heard that whether you can pass the Jinshi examination mainly depends on your ability in imperial examination preparation, and also pay attention to the grading taste of the master of the imperial examination. But whether you can be ranked first or third depends on your fate.
, how much literary fortune is there, is there any protection from the ancestors?"
Lin Shou stopped writing and placed it on the Sanfeng pen holder with blue and white ganoderma branches. He turned around and said with a smile, "I don't know very well. When I was young, my husband taught me that when I was young, I just wanted to study with sincerity."
Song Yunjian suddenly said: "So it turns out that I am vulgar."
Lin Shouyi smiled and said: "If I were noble, why would I need to take the imperial examination?"
Song Yunjian asked in confusion: "Young Master Lin, forgive me for being ignorant. People who practice Taoism often have outstanding memories. If they know that the Taoism is hopeless and become interested in fame, they can just study for a few years and leave aside our Dali Dynasty.
To participate in the imperial examination of a small country and to get a title on the golden list is not an exaggeration, right? But it seems that there are still not many monks willing to participate in the imperial examination? "
Lin Shouyi explained: "In the early days of Aquarius Island, the customs were generally that the first class was to practice Taoism and seek immortality, the second class was to study in the study, the third class was to be a martial artist. The reason why our Dali Dynasty was called the barbarians of the north
, because the people are tough and uphold martial virtues. They either seek fame on horseback or practice martial arts and boxing. Therefore, the monks who pass the exams for genealogy do not have a good reputation in the mountains and can easily be regarded as self-destructive. Moreover, if they really take the exam
If you win, become an official, and get such a small official salary, is it possible that you want to enrich your eunuch's pocket? If you pass the exam, you should not do it properly. As one of the seventy-two Confucian academies, Guanhu Academy is not a decoration, it is to be held accountable.
Of. Even in a certain
If you become a high official in a small country, you will be extremely greedy, enrich your own pockets, and lose weight for the country but gain weight for yourself. You still have to pass the test of Guanhu Academy. Naturally, it is better to just become a real protector of the country and be worshiped by the royal family. It will save worry and effort.
.”
In the old days, Guanhu Academy, in Baopingzhou, where the Great Li Dynasty was still in a corner, could be said to be in charge of everything, especially gentlemen and sages, evil spirits causing chaos, immortals perverting the law, bandits committing crimes, and gangsters committing crimes.
...As long as it falls on him
In their hands, they often issued orders to immortals, emperors and kings, prohibiting prostitution, destroying mountains and cutting down temples. No wonder the monks compared the sages of the academy to the kings of small countries. A gentleman is the emperor of a powerful country. It is just one of the four evil spirits of Shushui country.
Met the sage Zhou Ju from the academy?
It's just that the constraints imposed by the academy are only "human power" after all. Like a pebble thrown into a lake, whether it is ripples or waves, the people's hearts and customs in a certain place will always calm down.
Song Yunjian nodded, deeply convinced.
Lin Shouyi asked: "Mr. Song, do you want to bring up the topic of Shujian Lake?"
Song Yunjian nodded and said: "I'm very curious about what kind of place makes it so difficult for the Imperial Master to cut."
Lin Shouyi smiled and said: "I want to continue studying."
Now that the order to expel guests was issued, Song Yunjian said goodbye and left.
After Nian Xin came here, she couldn't stay idle. She just happened to fill the vacancy of Fu Qing. This sewing worker now has similar duties to Rong Yu, patrolling the Imperial Prefect's Office and reviewing various files.
Yu Shiwu, Xiao Xing and the others were released like "caged birds" to look out for the wind, and temporarily settled in a room in the west wing of the second entrance courtyard. They were allowed to check the files of a certain department on their own, and each had their own division of labor. But Chen Ping'an
No specific requests were made.
Today, Xiao Xing was indignant at Gongsun Lingling's outing, and then she saw "Xu Jiaoqie" standing next to Nian Xin.
Xu Jiaoqie had just arrived in the capital city of Dali from Tongyezhou, and her lord asked her to work as an errand in the Criminal Department of Dali. She would have no official status for the time being, and would start from the bottom as a subordinate official in Zhuoliu.
Seeing that poor counterfeit dare to walk openly in front of him, Xiao Xing suddenly became furious and angrily shouted: "You cheap maid!"
Xu Jiaoqie was not a vegetarian. She immediately "remembered" that this Xiao Xing was the three corpses that her lord had killed with the help of her great supernatural powers, and sneered: "The dregs of the Tao."
Nian Xin was not interested in watching the two girls pulling their hair and scratching their faces. He saw Song Yunjian, whose name was derived from the great master of Lu Chen Neipian, standing under the tree, reaching out to pick a peach blossom and sandwiching it between the pages of the book.
"I believe that within the next hundred years, the Great Li Dynasty will definitely become the world's most powerful country in terms of civil, political, and martial arts."
Song Yunjian held up the book with one hand, patted the cover gently with the other, and said with a smile: "As long as the emperor dares to think, the imperial master dares to do it."
The senior brother wrote the preface, and the junior brother wrote the postscript. The paper was made of large paper and the pen name was Shi Gong.
