Thin clouds make tricks, flying stars spread hatred, and silvery people are far away in darkness.
Once the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will defeat countless people in the world.
Tenderness is like water, good times are like dreams, and I can’t bear to look at the magpie bridge on my way back!
If the love between two people lasts for a long time, how can it last day and night?
"Miss Third, it's so abominable. We worked so hard to find him in Chang'an City, but he just came to our house -"
The moon is full in the sky, but it is July 15th. Taoism calls it the Hungry Ghost Festival, Buddhism calls it the Bon Festival, which is also commonly known as the Ghost Festival in later generations.
The master and servant wandered around Chang'an City for seven or eight days without seeing the young talented man from four years ago. However, they accidentally heard a popular poem - "Like a Dream Ling".
When they returned to Huashan, they saw the song "Magpie Bridge Immortal" in the villa of "Xueying Palace".
To be precise, the third lady "perceived" the poem first and then found it.
You must know that Li Zhi is already a man of literary, moral and spiritual skills, and his writing and writing naturally reveal a lot of awe-inspiring righteousness.
Ordinary people may not be able to perceive it, but as soon as the third lady approached Huashan, she discovered that the backyard of the "Xueying Palace" was full of cultural energy, as if the clouds were steaming and the clouds were rising.
"This... is indeed his handwriting, but how could a child have such delicate emotions? 'Golden Wind and Jade Dew', 'Morning and Evening', who are they writing about?"
Looking at the silver hook and iron painting-like strokes, the third lady couldn't help but be a little obsessed.
"Miss Third, the font is his, and we have seen his talent. The question is, is this really written by that child? How can he have the realm of literature, Taoism, and spirituality?"
It was rare for the maid Yun'er to still be sober, and she suddenly remembered that when she met the young talented man four years ago, he had an "excellent body".
How could such a person reach the realm of literature, art, and spirituality? Even if he could cultivate, the speed of cultivation would be too fast, right?
"Third Miss, I heard that they were a group of three, a man, a woman and two guards, and they all called him 'Ninth Young Master'. It seems that they are going to Luoyang, why don't we also go there and have a look?..."
Seeing that the third lady didn't speak for a long time, Yun'er gently probed from the side.
"You little girl, are you getting more and more presumptuous? Forget it, I have seen some good poetry. In my opinion, the song 'Ru Meng Ling' circulated in Chang'an City may have been written by him."
"We have been traveling for so many days. It's time to practice with peace of mind. Otherwise, we will be scolded by my second brother again before he comes back to take a Kung Fu test."
The third young lady said this, but her eyes were still staring at the wall in front of her. Suddenly her robe sleeves shook, and the screen wall was uprooted and flew towards the top of Mount Huashan.
Li Zhi naturally didn't know that his song "Magpie Bridge Immortal", which he used to pay for his shop, actually aroused a certain woman's greater interest in him.
I wrote this poem on a whim that night. Li Zhi, who had already mastered both civil and martial arts, was no longer as timid as when he first arrived in the Tang Dynasty.
Nowadays, even if it is a life and death fight, he believes that there may not be many decent opponents in the entire Tang Dynasty.
It has been several days since he left Huashan, and Li Zhi is still thinking about the interesting monk and the story.
The Taoist Priest of "Xueying Palace" is grateful for his sentimental song "Magpie Bridge Immortal", especially the awe-inspiring righteousness that permeates the words. A well-informed Taoist priest can naturally recognize that it is the realm of a great Confucian!
When I left the next day, not only did I not charge several people for their room, but I also gave them three horses and some money as gifts.
From beginning to end, Li Zhi did not speak to the monk, but his compassionate demeanor, his jade-like face, and his black gem-like eyes left a deep impression on Li Zhi.
Li Zhi felt that this person must be very human, and secretly felt that there might be more stories between them.
...
"Ninth Young Master, Luoyang City has arrived——"
Luoyang City began to be rebuilt on a large scale in the early Sui Dynasty and was called Tokyo at that time.
After Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty ascended the throne, he moved the capital from Daxing to Luoyang.
In the fifth year of Daye, Yang Guang changed its name to Dongdu.
Officially, His Highness the Prince of Jin had been following the disaster relief team sent by the emperor. Li Zhi and the other three did not dare to make any announcement when they entered the city. They quietly entered the city through the west gate and found the residence of "His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin".
The three of them left the group and went to other places. The other temporary guards of the King of Jin, as well as the serving chamberlains and palace maids, naturally followed the movement of the group.
Seeing three people riding horses in civilian clothes, the guards guarding the gate naturally did not stop them, but they were a little confused. When did His Highness Prince Jin, who had never shown his face, leave incognito?
"His Royal Highness the King of Jin, Mr. Wei has gone to Bianzhou where the disaster is most serious. Before leaving, he specifically told you to stay in Luoyang for the time being."
"Following food supplies will arrive one after another. You can just show up in Luoyang City every few days, or go to the Porridge Peng outside the city."
When setting off from Chang'an, Li Zhi and Wei Zheng already had a division of labor.
Li Zhi, the king of Jin, was a symbolic presence. He showed his face to appease the people's emotions. Wei Zheng was naturally responsible for other things.
Li Zhi waved Wei Zheng's subordinate officer down, and the three of them walked straight to the back house.
The house Wei Zheng arranged for Li Zhi was very luxurious, with a total of five people entering the yard. There was even a martial arts training ground next to it, equipped with eighteen kinds of weapons including swords, guns, swords and halberds.
"Whose mansion is this?"
After Li Zhi and the others walked through the courtyard, they asked the young eunuch serving next to him that they had also followed him from the "Lizheng Palace" in Chang'an.
Li Zhiben didn't want to accept this. It was best to keep everything simple when he was away from home, but he couldn't stand the loving motherly heart of his grandson Wugou.
"Your Highness, I asked you about it on the first day you moved in. This mansion has been vacant for many years. No one lived in it. In the early years, it was occupied by a general named Shan."
"I heard that he was some kind of consort of Wang Shichong, the king of Luoyang. After he was defeated by our Tang Dynasty, this mansion was naturally taken over."
Surname Shan?
Li Zhi's heart moved, and he turned to look at Qin Huaiyu. Seeing no reaction on his face, he guessed that his father Qin Qiong might not have mentioned the past in front of him.
"Okay, the three of us will live in the back house, and the waiters will still be those from the 'Lizheng Palace'. The rest of the people will live in other courtyards, so don't disturb others' peace and quiet."
Li Zhi and the other three had a hasty meal, and after traveling for so many days, they were finally able to sleep peacefully.
…
The moon is at its zenith, the night is as dark as water, and a cool breeze blows.
It was quiet in the back house, and occasionally I could hear regular snoring coming from the west wing, which was Qin Huaiyu's residence.
Li Zhi lived in the middle room, and the east wing next to him was the residence of the eldest grandson Pingting, and the little girl was meditating.
In fact, ever since she broke through to the innate realm, Changsun Pingting seldom slept and practiced day and night in order to break through to the realm of the gods as soon as possible and attack their master's "death barrier".
It is said that only after passing the "death barrier" can one truly embark on the path of cultivation.
After passing the "death barrier", it will be much more powerful than ordinary literary or martial arts.
Unfortunately, according to historical records in the sect, only two people have been able to successfully break through the "death barrier" in the past hundreds of years.
At this moment, Changsun Pingting saw the dawn of success. She felt that the most right thing she had done over the years was to enter the palace and meet Jin Wang Li Zhi.
This child is simply my lucky star. In less than a year, he has made far more progress than his fellow disciples who have worked hard for decades!
Li Zhi had fallen into a deep sleep, but his whole body was not idle, constantly absorbing the spiritual energy around him.
Especially when the moon shines, wisps of cool moonlight drift down one by one, always automatically entering Li Zhi's body.
Is this absorbing the power of the moon?
How could Li Zhi, who was sleeping soundly, know that something strange was happening to him? This was something that many monks could not envy.
"Who are you?--"
Suddenly, a gust of cold wind shook the willow tree in front of the window, and a human figure appeared on the wall of Li Zhi's bedroom.
"and who are you?"
Li Zhi had already woken up, and he woke up when the cold wind was shaking outside the window. He stared straight at a group of black air floating in, and finally formed on the opposite wall.
"Are you a descendant of the Li family? Li Shimin's son?"
The human figure on the wall is tall. Even if it is just a human figure, it still gives people a feeling of burliness.
"Are you the 'Red-haired Spirit Officer' Shan Xiongxin?"
One person and one person, actually chatting here calmly on this Hungry Ghost Festival night?
"Haha, you actually know me? Back then, the 'Black Evil God' saved your father. I wonder who else will come to save you tonight?"
The human figure on the wall was very arrogant, as if he didn't even take Li Zhi in front of him seriously.
"What should I call you now? Deng Jiugong? Shan Xiongxin? Or Qinglongxing? Since you have been canonized as a god, why bother causing chaos in the lower world again and again?"
"If you guessed it right, what is left here is just a trace of regret. You have been reincarnated again, and you are now Gesuwen of Goryeo, right?"
Li Zhi used the "Golden Eye of Destruction" to see that what was on the wall was just a trace of residual thoughts, and the "memory" of Shan Xiongxin's past and present life was still fresh.
When he was consecrated as a god, Deng Jiugong was named Qinglongxing. He was originally a famous general of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, but later returned to the Western Zhou Dynasty and helped Xiqi prosper the Zhou Dynasty and destroy the Shang Dynasty.
Yin Chengxiu was named the White Tiger Star, a general of King Zhou, who was guaranteed to become Tang Dynasty even if he died.
They belonged to different camps during their lifetimes, and even if they were enshrined in heaven and held the same divine status after death, the conflicts and grievances they had had could not be eliminated.
This leads to the fact that the Green Dragon Star rebelled against the Tang Dynasty in the lower world four times, and the White Tiger Star protected the Tang Dynasty three times.
In the first life, it was Shan Xiongxin versus Luo Cheng.
In the second life, it was Gaisu Wen versus Xue Rengui.
In the third life, it was Su Baotong versus Xue Dingshan.
The fourth life is An Lushan versus Guo Ziyi.
Finally, in the fourth life, Li Tang's empire was symbolically ruined, and that was the result of Li Longji's own fault.
According to legend, Li Longji once traveled to the Moon Palace and saw the beauty of Chang'e. He suddenly recited a few inappropriate and inappropriate poems, just like what happened in the palace of Nuwa during the Yin Dynasty.
This made the Jade Emperor furious, so he ordered Qinglongxing to descend to earth again to destroy Li Tang's empire.
Taibai Jinxing on the side said that Li Tang's energy was not exhausted, and the fear of destruction was contrary to the destiny, so he let the White Tiger Star come to earth and reincarnate as Guo Ziyi, so that the Tang Dynasty could continue to survive.
Li Zhi's words made the figure on the wall tremble in fright.
"You can't be Li Shimin's son. Who are you?"
"boom--"
Li Zhi's eyes suddenly shot out two golden lights, shattering the human figure on the wall, and completely disappeared without even making a cry.
…
"Your Highness, Your Highness, wake up quickly——"
"Sister Pingting, what should we do? Your Highness was fine yesterday. Why can't you wake up after sleeping all night?"
The next day, it was already three o'clock in the morning, but Li Zhi was still asleep, with no sign of waking up.
Fortunately, Changsun Pingting took his pulse and found that except for the fact that he couldn't wake up, everything else was normal, so he didn't send anyone to see the doctor.
"Huaiyu, it is strictly forbidden to spread His Highness's affairs. Let's guard His Highness here first. If His Highness still doesn't wake up in two days, we will find a way."
Two days a day, three days a day, five days passed by, and Li Zhi was still asleep.
This made Qin Huaiyu and Changsun Pingting extremely anxious. Qin Huaiyu knew that he could not delay any longer and this matter must be reported to Chang'an immediately.
Just as he prepared three fast horses and planned to rush back day and night, suddenly, the guard at the door came in to report.
"Little General Qin, an old Taoist came outside, claiming to be Sun Simiao, and asked to see His Highness the King of Jin——"
Sun Simiao? Qin Huaiyu and Changsun Pingting were both startled.
This person's reputation is really great, and the two of them have now practiced part of the "Five Animals Opera" given to King Jin, so they can be considered to have a connection.
"Sister Pingting, please look after His Highness here and let me go out to greet Master Sun."
After saying that, Qin Huaiyu left the back house and rushed to the gate.
"It's really Sun Zhenren who has arrived! Qin Huaiyu is late to welcome me, please forgive me for being the master -"
Qin Huaiyu knew Sun Simiao. He recalled that when Qin Qiong was trapped by his own internal force and almost killed him, Sun Simiao took action to save Qin Qiong.
After staying in the Qin Mansion for several days, Sun Simiao did not leave the Qin Mansion until Qin Qiong turned the corner.
At that time, Qin Huaiyu was already eight or nine years old, and Sun Simiao's appearance had not changed much in recent years, so he could easily recognize him as soon as he met him.
"You are the second son of the Qin family? How strange, how strange that you have actually broken through to the innate state, or the late innate state, it's incredible——"
Sun Simiao also recognized Qin Huaiyu. Although he had changed a lot from six years ago, his appearance became more like Qin Qiong's former self.
As he spoke, Sun Simiao's hand had already been put on Qin Huaiyu's wrist.
"Master Sun, what are you doing?..."
Someone suddenly grabbed his wrist. Out of instinct, Qin Huaiyu almost resisted, but was firmly held by Sun Simiao.
This time, Qin Huaiyu was quite surprised.
"Haha, the second son of the Qin family, it seems that you have had many adventures in the past few years. First, you refined the energy of 'Ambergris', and also practiced the experienced 'Five Animals'?"
"But what is the last one? The old Taoist feels that it is somewhat familiar, but why can't he describe it?"
After confirming that Qin Huaiyu had gone through many adventures to reach where he was now, Sun Simiao was very pleased.
Sun Simiao had always admired Qin Qiong's character and martial arts. When he saw his old friend's descendants making such progress, he was naturally happy for Qin Qiong.
In just a few words, Qin Huaiyu was shocked again. He took his pulse gently, and it was as if his experience was actually witnessed by the other person?
However, seeing that even Sun Simiao, who was as powerful as Sun Simiao, could not diagnose the herbal tea they drank, Qin Huaiyu became more interested in the old man selling herbal tea.
"Master Sun, it's so nice of you to come. Come with me quickly and see His Highness Prince Jin——"
Just as Sun Simiao let go of Qin Huaiyu's wrist, he grabbed the sleeve of his robe again and walked in without any explanation.
"You kid, why are you so careless? The old man came here just to see His Highness Prince Jin. Are you so anxious?"
Sun Simiao grabbed two sticks, but he couldn't get rid of Qin Huaiyu. He couldn't do it again, right? He just let him pull him inside.
"Sister Pingting, Master Sun is here, His Highness is saved."
After entering the inner house, Qin Huaiyu no longer worried about leaking out, and the tense nerves in the past few days also relaxed.
"Ah, this is?——"
When Changsun Pingting saw Sun Simiao, Sun Simiao naturally saw her too.
Sun Simiao rubbed his eyes, looked carefully at the teenage girl in front of him, and then glanced at Qin Huaiyu next to him.
"It's weird, it's weird, what's going on today? I met two martial arts wizards in succession! What do you call this girl? If you are not mistaken, you are already halfway to the realm of the gods?"
Even though Sun Simiao had already made up his mind, he still couldn't believe his eyes.
As far as he knew, a few years ago, there were only two half-step spiritual warriors in the entire Tang Dynasty, and there was only one martial artist, Li Jing.
It has only been a few years, but the little girl in front of me is actually half-way to becoming a god?
Looking at this posture, the second youngster of the Qin family might one day be able to achieve half-step to spiritual enlightenment, or even higher.
Is it true that the Three Realms have changed as the teacher said?
But where did this change come from?
Five years ago, when Sun Simiao was treating Li Zhi, he not only spent his last "Heart-Protective Pill", but also gave Li Zhi the secret of "Five Animals" that was not passed down by his master.
Sun Simiao did not continue to stay in Chang'an City, but returned to his division after decades of absence.
When the elder of the sect ordered him to give away the original copy of "Five Animals", it was the day when he returned to the sect.
In the past five years, Sun Simiao, who is nearly 100 years old, has stayed in the disciples and continued to practice.
After informing Master Menzhong about his whereabouts in Chang'an and describing Li Zhi's situation, Master Menzhong actually gave him an "Obstacle-Cleaning Pill".
After taking it, his white hair turned into blue hair, and the appearance and body functions of the ninety-four-year-old Sun Simiao seemed to be back to the age of 20 or 30 years old.
And the realm that had been stagnant for more than forty years has been broken through in one fell swoop. It was originally equivalent to a half-step to the realm of divine enlightenment. It has directly established the foundation successfully and entered the "Golden Elixir Stage", and it directly points to the later stage of the Golden Elixir.
The original "Water Fire Golden Needle" could only be used to save people, but now it has evolved into a set of offensive and defensive exercises.
After leaving the master again, Sun Simiao was already ninety-nine years old. Not wanting to shock the world, he changed back to his original appearance.
That's right, during this five-year retreat, in addition to practicing "Water, Fire and Golden Needles", Sun Simiao was also taught some practical spells, such as illusion, breath-holding techniques, land flying, etc.
Luoyang was Sun Simiao's first stop after coming down from the mountain. He also heard that Henan Road was hit by floods. It is naturally the duty of a doctor to save lives and heal the wounded.
As soon as I entered Luoyang, I heard rumors from the people that His Majesty the Tang Dynasty sent His Highness the Prince of Jin to come to provide relief.
The two of them could be regarded as doctors and patients, and they also had the friendship to pass on the martial arts. Sun Simiao wanted to see what had become of His Highness the King of Jin, who had a "heavenly leakage body".
That's why I came to ask for help.
Unexpectedly, before meeting Li Zhi himself, Qin Huaiyu and Changsun Pingting gave Sun Simiao two surprises.
"The waves of the sea are shining brightly, and the soul is full of green ponds. My eldest disciple, Sun Pingting, on behalf of my master, sends my regards to Master Sun——"
After long thought, Sun Pingting bowed to Sun Simiao Yingying.
