The Degree of Grace Chapter 1: The Way of the Yanmen, Youth Matters
The journey from Shuozhou to Kyoto is long.
If you use a sword, it will of course be faster.
But always holding a sword in the air, especially in this deep winter, is really not a beautiful or unrestrained thing.
Su Mu and others followed the prince in a carriage.
"The prince has informed the eldest princess about what happened on Yanshan Mountain. It will be very dangerous to follow the prince."
"The prince is the crown prince and the future of the Zhou people. I don't have to consider these things, but he grew up with me after all."
This was a brief conversation between Su Mu and Mo Qianyu one night before leaving Pinghe County.
"Okay, I'm still a little curious about what happened between you two?"
"It was a playful incident among children. I accidentally hurt his forehead while playing with a slingshot, which alarmed the entire palace."
"Because he is the prince."
"Because his mother is the queen."
"The Queen is mean?"
"The queen is gentle."
"Why is that?"
"Your Majesty loves the Queen very much."
The carriage was walking on the pipe where the snow had not completely melted away. In the bitter cold area of Shuobei, the economy was not prosperous. The official road had not been repaired for many years, and the carriage was not as comfortable as Su Mu had imagined. It was not until after entering Yanmen Road that such a bumpy situation
The situation finally improved.
He recalled what Mo Qianyu said, and it seemed that His Majesty the Emperor was not as far away from the world as he imagined.
"It seems that our senior brother is very worried now."
Tan Rusu leaned against the carriage window, with a hint of playfulness on her lips.
"indeed,"
Wen Daoyan was holding a book, which was said to be compiled by a famous scholar in the capital summarizing the imperial examinations in the past fifteen years. "As the saying goes: 'Taking people's money is like killing their parents.' We on Yanshan knew that Shuozhou officials colluded with both internal and external officials.
To deceive the saints and gain national wealth!"
"Now that we have revealed it to the court, we have cut off the money of these people. They must hate us to the core at this moment."
"Do you understand what I'm saying?" Tan Rusu gave Wen Daoyan an extremely speechless look.
"I thought that in your eyes, the world was full of awe-inspiring righteousness," Su Mu joked.
Wen Daoyan didn't pay attention to Tan Rusu's gaze and said, "Such things have been commonplace for me since I was very young."
It turned out that he was born in a declining scholarly family. By his generation, all the books in the family had been sold for money, and the family ended up living on a few acres of paddy fields.
But he still tried his best to send him to private school, hoping that Wen Daoyan could save the declining Wen family.
Unfortunately, the change happened too quickly.
His father died fighting for water, and his mother became depressed, lost weight, and eventually died of illness.
In order to divide all his family's land, his uncle from the same village gave him an unknown label.
Although the Taoist priest appeared later and took away most of his life, in fact, without that Taoist priest, Wen Daoyan doesn't know whether he would have survived in that village until now.
"Cause and effect are cyclic, and things in the world are unpredictable," Wen Daoyan simply told some stories from his childhood, and Wen Daoyan breathed a sigh of relief.
"I really didn't expect that you would be plotted by someone at your age. I thought you were the son of a wealthy family," Tan Rusu lowered her eyes, and her thoughts seemed to drift away.
See her demeanor.
Su Mu then remembered the first time he and Tan Rusu went down the mountain together. Later, in order to get away from him, the girl turned against him and refused to recognize him.
On Ruoshen Mountain, she even revealed that she wanted to find Yi Mu, the ancient wood god king.
And he happened to have heard of the ancient wood god when he was in the wood building space.
"And you?"
"I?"
Tan Rusu's thoughts were brought back by Su Mu, "I'm afraid I'll scare you if I tell my story."
"We all really want to be scared," Su Mu and Wen Daoyan said at the same time.
"Then I'll tell you,"
Tan Rusu completely suppressed the smile on his face, "I originally had thousands of brothers and sisters, but then because of a big accident, they all died, and I was the only one who survived."
"Thousands of brothers and sisters?"
Wen Daoyan seemed to believe it, "What's your rank? Where are your parents?"
"I don't know where it ranks because we all planted it on one day,"
Tan Rusu said seriously: "I have no mother, only a father."
"What?" Wen Daoyan was completely confused. Before this, there was probably no problem that had confused him to this extent.
Su Mu knew that Tan Rusu was very mysterious and could not tell whether what she said was true or false. He just asked: "Are you looking for Wang Yimu?"
"Yeah, it's a pity that this old guy is no longer on this continent,"
Tan Rusu raised his head to look at the clouds and mist floating in the sky outside the window, and murmured: "Tell me, where have those gods gone? Can you go to the place where the gods are after ascending?"
"I have information about Wang Yimu," Su Mu said calmly.
"What did you say?" Tan Rusu looked surprised.
"Last time in Kongkong Mountain, I went to a place. Someone said that place was once the place where Shennong and Wang Yimu cultivated spiritual grass."
Su Mu recalled: "The soil in that place is indeed magical. My master said that the spiritual soil there is better than the Lingzhi Peak in Shushan Mountain."
"Really? Where?" Tan Rusu's smart eyes shone brightly, like the brightest star in the night sky.
"It's on me," Su Mu said calmly.
"You're kidding me!" Tan Rusu immediately clenched his pink fists.
"I can guess that this matter should be very important to you. Why are you lying to me?"
Su Mu said seriously: "That place is within the broken branches of the building wood, and the broken branches of the building wood are on my body at the moment."
"Tiantian Divine Tree Jianmu?!" Tan Rusu looked at Su Mu in great surprise.
Similarly, Wen Daoyan was also shocked by this sentence.
As we all know, the remaining branches of building trees are the most precious treasures in Xilin.
"Don't look at me in such surprise. The remaining tree branches in my hands are no longer the same as those in Xilin."
Su Mu briefly told them what he had encountered in Kongkong Mountain. The space that everyone thought was actually Jianmu.
At that time, apart from the controller Luo Shi, only Su Mu and Mo Qianyu knew about this matter.
"No wonder the sect has sent so many strong men but they can't find any traces left by the space," Wen Daoyan finally understood.
"Why are you telling us this and not afraid that we will report it to our superiors?"
"I won't!"
As soon as Tan Rusu finished speaking, Wen Daoyan made a very firm statement, "Elder brother must have his reasons for doing this."
Su Mu left behind the piece of building wood, of course, so that he could completely piece together the Tasu Immortal Sword in the future.
"He is indeed a nerd. He believes everything without knowing anything," Tan Rusu said angrily.
"I believe in you too, I believe in Senior Sister Mo."
Wen Daoyan's body was very upright, and his words were also very upright, "I believe in my friends."
"Hey~ don't do this,"
Tan Rusu immediately turned to look at Su Mu and said, "Elder brother, I want to go in."
"Of course it's no problem, we are friends," Su Mu said with a smile.
Hearing this, Tan Rusu touched the goose bumps on his hands and said, "Why do I think you have bad intentions?"
"Okay! Don't go in," Su Mu closed his eyes and chose to meditate.
