The strong wind stirred up the thick clouds and broke through the mountain pass unstoppably, pouring the heavy rain straight onto the grassland. Some voices fell in the wind and rain: "I'm afraid there are some obstacles elsewhere, and the rain plan is not going well..."
"It doesn't matter. Beimang is so big. If you send it to the northern boundary of the mountain range, it will be mostly effective. The smaller the damage will be within the territory, the greater the damage will be to the other side. This is a trade-off and a gain..."
After a while, it seemed like half the day had passed, and the sky and the earth were completely exhausted, and it was difficult to distinguish the sunlight in the heavy rain.
We finally arrived at Xiping Pass, which is the northern boundary of Mangkhut County. It is the most dangerous place with two peaks facing each other. Not only people and horses pass by here, but most of the warm and moist clouds coming from the south and the cold desert cold fronts coming from the north pass by here.
The rainwater generated by this hedging washed away the cliffs, leaving few trees intact.
"Sister? Can you hear me?" Henyun asked. On this important road at the entrance of the mountain, there was no reply from the Qingluo Rain Device.
After passing the corner, I heard concerned voices: "Are they really gone? I was afraid that the spiritual message would attract attention, so I blocked the rain device..."
The two of them suddenly looked up and saw the pretty beauty standing in front of them holding an umbrella. They both had incredible surprises on their faces.
Jingyu held up an umbrella to protect the two of them from the rain. Seeing their expressions, he couldn't help but pause for a moment: "You guys, this is..."
Ye Qing hugged her and Lian Henyun in his arms. He suppressed his surging heart, calmed down and asked, "Why are you still here? Didn't I ask you to go back?"
"I received the message and brought Yu Yun here, and stayed on top of the clouds in Shannan to watch." Jing Yu was a little uncomfortable in his tight embrace, and she frowned slightly and held the oil paper umbrella: "These guys know
Xingzang was leaked, so he made a demonstration... What's funny is that a Jin Yangzi also persuaded Liang Shaojun not to attack each other. It is clear that the emperor's lineage loves fighting most... and I am not an official, Liang Shaojun is also
I wonder if he is still sleeping."
This was something the sisters often joked about in private, but this time, Henyun sniffed and did not laugh. Ye Qing frowned: "Then there is no need to run down."
"I saw you guys coming too, so I couldn't help but run down here..." Jing Yu said a little aggrievedly, looking at her sister and then at Ye Qing, very puzzled.
"We're afraid that all your information will be confiscated and we won't know about the ambush on the other side." Hen Yun sniffed and said.
"Sister, it's true, I'm not stupid, and Ye Jun..." Jing Yu's pretty face turned slightly red, and she bowed her head shyly in his eyes, revealing her white and supple neck: "You are already my husband, even if you give me this advice,
If I didn’t know there was an ambush, I wouldn’t have come here.”
"You're so obedient." Henyun snorted jealously, but he had just cried and still had a nasal sound.
Jingyu heard it a little funny, but also a little warmly moved, and rubbed her hair: "Okay, it's all my sister's fault..."
He turned to look at Ye Qing again, his eyes drooping: "They didn't hurt you just now, did they?"
Ye Qing had already relaxed, let go of them, and smiled: "Catch the treacherous and the double, the thief and the dirty. Although we have crossed the mountain boundary to the south, it is just pouring rain. Do you really dare to kill?"
Jingyu nodded and said nothing, only smiled and looked at him, his eyes like water.
"What about catching an adulterer and a couple, it's so disgusting to hear." Hengyun was embarrassed and annoyed, and hit Ye Qing hard as soon as he landed on the ground: "Sister, don't listen to this scholar's nonsense, your sister was attacked by someone just now..."
"Ah, are you injured?"
Ye Qing explained what had just happened one by one: "It was the sword light of the formation master. It struck up. It seemed that the force was not too strong. It was just a warning."
"Although it was a warning, Sister Henyun was also injured. I gave him a warning and at least broke his nose bone." Ye Qing sneered at this.
Jingyu suppressed a smile at this time, and the umbrella he held became larger, blocking the three people inside, and said thoughtfully: "This situation is indeed very common."
"Although the Five Virtues emphasize rotation, they do not rotate in a regular manner. Each of the Five Emperors is their own master, so there is competition among them."
"The secular world fights from the secular world, and the spiritual level has the struggle of the spiritual level. If you send troops, they are limited to the rules of heaven and can't do anything about it. But we are the dragon girls, pouring heavy rain on the grassland, and you are here, we can fight
Yu She, fortunately you are a second-ranked Jinshi, so you still dare not kill the god."
"If we really kill each other, this matter will become a big deal."
When Ye Qing heard this, he suddenly understood what the dragon girl meant. This time he rode the dragon to pour rainwater, which was a bit too much. He hesitated for a moment, then when he realized something, he pursed his lips and said: "Two Ranking Jinshi"
"Yes, the two ranking Jinshi, Taoism and Dharma are manifested in the world, but they have to be controlled. Otherwise, the humane order will disappear, and people can fly to the sky and the earth, who will still fear the king?"
"Although Tong Jinshi has the right to practice Taoism, the gate of heaven has not been opened, but he has done twice the result with half the effort. Although he has practiced some magical powers, he is still under the control of the fate of the court. It is just icing on the cake, adding wings to a tiger, not a true dragon conquering the sea."
"Both Jinshis have opened the Heavenly Gate. They can practice Taoism with half the effort and make great progress with each passing day. They can also serve as officials according to their own wishes. This is really an extra grace given to the past dynasties. However, even so, there is still some standard." Jingyu said.
Here, the pretty face turned red and stopped talking.
Ye Qing has come to a great realization. He originally knew that the Jinshi was a golden finger, but now he became more clear-headed.
The Jinshi in the two rankings are heavenly beings. They are between Taoism and the world, but they can move with ease. Whichever side you join, it is a huge bargaining chip.
So she made her own plan, and Dragon Girl agreed, but she also hinted at the scale involved.
Ye Qing was silent for a moment, then revised his plan, and simply asked: "Sister Jingyu, then where should I be a Jinshi and practice Taoism?"
After saying that, he bowed.
Seeing Ye Qing's understanding, Jing Yu pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Fool, it depends on the Taoism you practice, but this is not absolute. Generally speaking, you can ignore it before the foundation is completed. There is still a chance to change it.
Kung Fu."
"Once the foundation of Dzogchen is completed and the foundation of Taoism is achieved, you have to meet the master according to the exercises you have practiced. Generally, you will be under the disciples of three Taoist monarchs or five emperors."
This was just as he had guessed. Ye Qing was silent for a moment and said: "Go back, come to my door and let me down."
There was a flash of white light, and a dragon flew into the sky.
The wind and rain got worse, and the slightest bit of water vapor blew against my face. Yu Fan's five boats docked at the pier, and they went back home, but they didn't get on immediately.
Yu Fan looked at the embankment. It was vast and gray, and the scenery was not very clear.
After a long time, Yu Fan said: "After several months of coming back, I finally arrived home. Today I walked by the bridge and met each other through wind and rain. It's really a great fate."
As he was talking, he saw someone bringing a raincoat, shaking it off and putting it on.
Mr. Kou smiled and said: "It's very elegant to walk in the rain on this day. Lord, let's take a walk together."
This was exactly what Yu Fan wanted. He put on his thick raincoat and felt that it was indeed protected from wind and rain. He smiled and asked: "Where is the scenery?"
Mr. Kou smiled, pointed with his hand and said: "Look, this is Yueting Bridge. Although it is inconspicuous, it was the place where Li Degong wrote his articles. Therefore, literati often came here to write articles in spring and autumn, but there were not many people here at this time.
Come, let’s sit down somewhere”
So the two of them walked along the river embankment, arrived at Pavilion Bridge, and stood by the river. They felt that the rain was mixed together. Yu Fan looked at the river and said, "Is this water very deep? I fell into the water when I was a child, and I still have lingering fears. Now seeing this
The river is like facing an abyss."
Mr. Kou knew what he meant, so he said calmly: "Lord, you see, there are bridges and boats. As long as you catch one, it doesn't matter. How can God stop someone's path?"
Yu Fan listened and was silent for a long time before smiling: "This time in Jiangjunyuan, I wasted a lot of time, but got a lot of benefits, but there were also dangers. Who would have thought that such a big monster would break out in Jiangjunyuan?"
Where’s the disaster?”
"But with the lord's management and real achievements, as long as it is done properly, it is a qualification. Although the court will not promote him immediately, it will only take one or two years, and he can be promoted to the first level."
"Even if you are promoted to one level, it is only from the eighth rank." When Yu Fan said this, he stopped talking. Knowing that he had lost his temper, he changed the subject: "What are you talking about the situation in the court? You are not an official.
More casual than me, there is no one here, feel free to talk
As he spoke, he glanced around.
"My lord has a question, and I should answer it myself. In short, I only have one sentence. Although the emperor is old, he is very ambitious." Mr. Kou answered decisively.
Seeing Yu Fan's surprise, he continued: "My lord, in the three hundred years of Da Cai, all laws have been abolished, and the greed is so fierce that it cannot be contained. The late emperor once strictly enforced the law, regardless of whether he was close or distant, whether he was high or low, he was all clear.
The canonical punishments are made known to the world, but they still have little effect."
"When the emperor ascended the throne, he first planned it slowly. In the past thirty years, he had been peeling off the cocoon, and he was already in a state of rejuvenation. According to what the world thought, the next step was to hand it over to the prince."
"But I looked at the atmosphere of the imperial capital and combined with the intelligence, I came to the conclusion that the emperor is afraid that he is too ambitious and unwilling to leave it to his descendants, and wants to refresh politics again himself."
"There is nothing wrong with this idea. If we don't take advantage of the improvement of the country's fortunes to rectify the government, we will regret it too late." Mr. Kou continued: "It's just that the first thirty years were just peeling off the cocoons, and now we have reached the stage of tackling the tough problems. I am afraid that -
Changed the law”
When he said this, Yu Fan was shocked and stopped keeping silent, saying, "Isn't that true?"
Mr. Kou said proudly: "It is a reform, but the reform is to change the foundation of the country. Even the emperor will be troubled from now on. My lord, think about it, who the reform targets is the laws and officials of this dynasty, and we have to rely on laws and regulations."
It’s no surprise that if officials continue to implement it, there won’t be many problems.”
At this point, there was a thunderous sound, and Yu Fan took a deep breath and said: "Perhaps you are right, what about Mr. Yi's idea?"
"My lord, although the emperor has great ambitions, the time has finally come... is not far away. You cannot follow his wishes, but whether the prince can succeed or not is also complicated and confusing."
"In my opinion, my lord has taken up his post in the local area and has almost appointed the county magistrate. There is no need to interfere in these matters at this time. As long as his conduct is very good and he is popular among the people, he will have the hope of success. Why bother to rush for a while?"
Mr. Kou spoke passionately, his eyebrows knitted together, and he looked at Yu Fan with bright eyes.
Yu Fan looked at the rain and mist for a long time before sighing helplessly and saying: "That's it, I know you're right, I was too impatient.
As he said that, Yu Fan looked a little tired and remained silent for a long time before waving his hand: "Go back."
