Although it was early, the sky was overcast and there was a steady drizzle in the blue sky.
Lu Shangjing came to the main hall of the courtyard early in the morning and sat down to wait. Today he wore a bamboo crown to tie his hair, his eyebrows were sparse and his eyes were sparse, and he was very dignified.
After a while, Ye Qing came in: "Mr. Lu, why are you here so early? I want to come over to see you wearing an oil coat later."
At this time, Lu Shangjing stood up with a serious look and bowed deeply: "Young Master Qing, these days I have been entertained by the Young Master, entrusted to my confidants, and entrusted with important positions. I feel uneasy and have an ancient look - a blue fly can only fly a few steps away.
"Jiwei, be able to"
"Lv has something to ask of me. I would like to have my tail from now on and do the work of a dog and a horse for the young master."
Ye Qing was immediately shocked. Even though he knew about the Yuan Dynasty, he had secretly thought about this day, but it was still like a dream when the talented person who truly ranked first in Yingzhou took refuge.
After calming down, he finally realized: "It is really a great blessing for me and my country to have this gentleman come to vote for me."
After hearing this, Lu Shangjing did not hesitate and bowed down: "I pay my respects to my lord."
As soon as Ye Qing received this bow, the clouds suddenly fluctuated, and Lu Shangjing's gray air was all dispersed, white air gushed out, and deep inside, there was a little blue.
As for Ye Qing himself, he had also changed, but he couldn't see it at this time. He quickly helped Lu Shangjing up: "Sir, please get up and sit down."
After thinking for a while, he added: "If you have no property and no foundation, I will give you three hundred acres of fertile land and yard to your husband. I hope you will accept it calmly."
"Huh? This is absolutely impossible. My lord only has these three hundred acres of private land." Even a calm person like Lu Shangjing was shocked and quickly declined.
"Sir, please don't refuse. Please listen to me first."
"Sir, in my mind, not only these three hundred acres, but also more than three thousand acres. Since you worship me as your lord, why should I not accommodate you? These three hundred acres and the yard are just the right place for your family."
"This is not breaking the rules. Did you know that I came to you because I wanted to accomplish a big thing and buy 10,000 acres of mountain land?"
"Don't refuse. We are friends. We have a good relationship with each other. There are many big things to do in the future. Mr. Lu is a real man. What does a mere three hundred acres of land mean?"
These few words made Lu Shangjing's heart heat up. He thought for a long time and sighed: "Since the Lord said this, I have no reason to refuse. I feel ashamed to accept it."
After saying this, I saw traces of red air coming from the void, turning Lu Shangjing into a white and red color.
Ye Qing smiled, sat down, and stared at the rain outside. He didn't say anything for a while. In the past, Lu Shangjing could do whatever he wanted, but now he is a minister. He didn't speak, and he couldn't speak. They all listened to the rain falling outside the window.
The sound fell.
After a long time, Ye Qingcai said: "Since you and I are kings and ministers, I will not hide anything from you. These ten thousand acres of mountain land are very important to me. But there is no rush now. You go back and pay respects. I will give you the land deed right now."
Bring your family over and talk about it later.”
Lu Shangjing responded and said: "This is a reward from my lord. I will go back and make preparations. I will take my leave."
Ye Qing walked to the door of the hall, watched Lu Shangjing go away, his mind was racing, and he sighed: "What a strange man."
When I returned to the hall, I didn't call anyone. I took my pen, ink, paper and inkstone and put them on the small table. I poured a little water into the inkstone and rubbed the ink slowly and evenly.
Ye Qing's eyes were bright and quiet, and when he saw that the ink was ground, he spread out the white frost-like rice paper, pressed it down with a paperweight, held a brush, evened out the ink, and wrote with concentration.
The brushwork combines hardness and softness, the clothes are elegant, and the character is majestic. It is close to the natural, mellow and free state. After writing, I looked at it and chanted:
"The green bamboos have yellow beards and white shoots, and the Confucian crowns and Taoists walk on white lotuses.
Red flowers, white lotus roots and green lotus leaves, the three religions are all one family."
After chanting, I felt that my calligraphy had improved, and I was quite pleased. You must know that when you reach Ye Qing's level, every improvement will be difficult.
At this moment, the bamboo curtain in the hall was opened, and Jiang Zinan came in, holding a round fan as usual.
At this time, I saw Ye Qing with her hair tied in a small crown, wearing a beige robe, high-toothed wooden clogs, and big sleeves hanging down. My heart started to beat, and I thought to myself: "It has only been a year, and she is really becoming more and more attractive."
At this time, it was lightly drizzling, and the bluestone on the patio was wet. Jiang Zinan looked at the ink on the tables and said, "Young Master Qing, have you written poetry again?"
Ye Qing was startled and said: "So it's you."
Then he pointed at the case and said, "Write whatever you want."
Jiang Zinan moved over and looked at it. Although she was not good at calligraphy, she could at least analyze it. After looking at it, her eyes suddenly shone with admiration.
Ye Qing held back his laughter and said, "Zinan, what do you want to do here?"
"On the eighth day of the ninth lunar month, there is an elegant event for Jiangpan Qiuqing in the clan, and the clan would like to ask you to preside over it."
Ye Qing listened and smiled: "This is an elegant matter, but in February next year, I will have the imperial examination. I don't want to be distracted. It won't be too late to come back next year and host it again."
Jiang Zinan responded: "Yes, then I will tell the clan the news - but many people will be disappointed...including your cousin."
After saying that, she smiled brightly and left.
There was no one in the hall at this time. Although it was a rainy day, it was getting late morning. The light filtered through the window lattice and cast a few shadows in the hall. Ye Qing's face was calm and thoughtful, and his eyes looked particularly deep.
He took the roll of paper he had just written on again, stared at it for a moment, and suddenly sneered slightly.
"Red flowers, white lotus roots and green lotus leaves, the three religions come to the same family - there is no better way to deceive the world than to steal the name."
"In The Romance of the Gods, the three sect leaders are brothers from the same sect, but they show no mercy when encountering a murder. The Holy Mother of the Turtle Spirit is destroyed in both form and spirit, the Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit, Taoist Duobao, the three Yunxiao sisters, Zhao Gongming and other core disciples
Total annihilation, why don’t you call the Three Religious Elements to rule over the whole family at this time, so as to spare one life?”
"In the real history of the earth, Buddhism and Taoism are fighting each other, often with their lives. How much is a human life worth when destroying Buddha and Taoism?"
"Even in this world, the three Tao Lords are not brothers, but each has great destiny, has proved the Dao, and even established the Three Kingdoms to fight against each other. Which disciple who survives does not have thousands of blood from the other Dao Lord's disciples on his hands?
"
"It's just that the Dao Lord is smart. Seeing that the war will bring disaster to the world and endanger his own Dao roots, he negotiates for peace and rules the world together. But this is wisdom and not nature - even during the peace period, there are overt and covert fights, let alone the great catastrophe.
hour?"
"The fence-sitting faction may be able to get everything they want in peacetime, and the few who live in peace may do better than those who stand in line, but they will never be able to get into the core. When the catastrophe comes, they will be cannon fodder destined to ashes."
"I think about the great catastrophe in my previous life. Those geniuses who practiced many skills, no matter how amazing and talented they were, all fell into ashes one by one. How can I not be vigilant?"
Thinking of this, without hesitation, he sank into the sea of consciousness and looked at Chuanlin's notes.
Opening a new page, I saw faint ripples on the blank page, which was Ye Qing's image.
There was a golden aura permeating the air, and there was a line marked: "On August 27, the twelfth year of Da Cai Pingjing, Ye Qing, Pingshou County, Nancang County, ranked first in the Texas State Examination, and won the title of Juren, with a special annotation of Yuan Dynasty."
Ye Qing uncovered the portrait and flipped to the back. As soon as he took his eyes on it, he felt a "boom", the mystery was revealed, and he suddenly understood.
"The status of a person is gained, and the Taoism of the past life is recalled."
Ye Qing recalled it carefully, but was startled: "It is indeed an introduction to the true Dharma of the Three Classics and Five Classics."
The introductory skills of the three Taoist masters are very simple, they are called Shaozhen Zifu Tianchi, Shangzhen Zifu Tianchi, and Taizhen Zifu Tianchi.
The introductory skills of the five emperors are also very simple, namely the Black Emperor's Tianyi Sutra, the White Emperor's Seven Kills Sutra, the Red Emperor's Yinghuo Sutra, the Huangdi's Carrying Objects Sutra, and the Qingdi's Immortality Sutra.
These eight secret books, even if they are just words, all have a shadow of virtual flames. The five-color flames of black, white, red, yellow, and green have crystallized and formed a circle, creating and restraining each other.
But in the middle, there are three colors of purple light. One light is like a treasure banner, one light is like a big bell, and one light is like a treasure mirror. These three lights seem to be purple, and each has its own color. The brilliance is strong and the light shines into the eyes.
Looking closely, there are countless things happening, and it is clear at a glance that it has supreme authority.
In addition, there are some complexions, but they are the True Pictures of the Ancient Orchid Nine Cauldrons, the Yunxian Book, and the True Dragon Cangse Xuanjing. They all have great power, but their potential is far less than the previous eight books.
During the great catastrophe in his previous life, when Ye Qing was gray, there happened to be an order from heaven to pass down the Taoist scriptures that were originally only the direct descendants of the Tao Lord and the Five Emperors, confusing countless other scriptures. Ye Qing had the opportunity to learn it, but had no chance to practice it, so he became gray.
.
This time, he had a chance to choose. Ye Qing thought of this, took a deep breath, suppressed the urgency in his heart, calmed down, and turned to the back without making a choice.
Turning to the sixth page, I saw pale white ripples on the roll, but I saw a carp. But this carp is no longer the insignificant little carp it was. It has become a lot bigger, with golden scales and is surrounded by
Some clouds and some water.
Ye Qing's heart sank, and when he looked carefully, he saw a few more markings: "When the position reaches Jieyuan, he looks like a carp with a gold back."
"I gained the support of the talented Lu Shangjing, and formed a relationship with the emperor and his ministers, like a fish in water, with the appearance of waves in the water."
After reading it, Ye Qing gave a bitter smile, his eyes were dark, he looked into the distance and chanted
The dragon, the two-horned dragon, the thunderstorm shakes the real dragon."
After chanting, Ye Qing smiled bitterly: "It seems that I have no chance to meet the three Tao Lords."
If he didn't deserve the carp phase, Ye Qing would definitely choose one of the three Dao Lords. This would give him a little more certainty in being protected by the Dao Lord's luck during the great tribulation.
But with the carp phase, Ye Qing knew that he and the Dao Lord were not destined for each other. The reason was very simple. Once he thought about it, he understood that the three Dao Lords ruled the world together and balanced each other. No one would allow one of them to break this balance.
The way of a carp turning into a dragon greatly affects the balance. Therefore, no one is allowed to become a king under the three Tao Lords. I am already a carp. Choosing three Tao Lords is just a way of self-destruction - before I grow up to affect the balance.
At this time, not to mention other Tao Lords, even your own Tao Lord will betray you.
This is the number of days
On the contrary, true dragons can emerge from the Five Emperors' sects, because the authority and Dao roots of the Five Emperors are far less than those of the Dao Lord, and a few more true dragons will not affect the balance.
But, which one to choose?
Ye Qing swept through the five-color flames of black, white, red, yellow and green, revealing a hint of sneer.
"If I combine the three Dao Lords and cultivate them, it will be self-destruction. But the Five Emperors are only one authority, so what do I have to fear?"
"The great catastrophe is approaching. I am a time traveler in vain. Do I not even have a chance of survival?"
"No, I have my own way."
With this thought in mind, Ye Qing no longer hesitated and touched the black water. Immediately, endless mysteries flowed and fell into his heart.
In the originally clear water, the golden-backed carp was swimming, but suddenly the water rippled and turned black.
But it is exactly what the golden-backed carp looks like in black water.
