Thirty-seven years have passed since Kureiyuan was razed.
It seems to have been erased from people's memories, as if it never existed.
The ruins of Kurongyuan are still there. They have been deserted for thirty-seven years. They have long existed as a forbidden place in Linzi, and no one is allowed to seek secluded places. As time goes by, no one mentions them anymore.
There are almost no monks in Linzi.
However, this year there was news that the master craftsmen in the engineering institute had already started drawing and selecting materials - it was said that today the emperor intends to build a sea-viewing tower to show off Qi's martial arts in conquering the East China Sea, opposite to the existing star observation tower.
The site chosen is at the ruins of Kurei-in Temple.
Bao Weihong expressed doubts about this statement.
He did not doubt the location of "Wanghaitai", but he doubted the idea of "showing off martial arts".
As the son of Uncle Yingying Baoheng and recognized as the most talented person in Uncle Yingying's house, he has his own understanding of the current situation.
Today, in the sixty-sixth year of Emperor Yuji's reign, his martial arts and martial arts are the best in all dynasties, but there is nothing worth mentioning in terms of arrogant and luxurious enjoyment. After so many years, it is just a "lasting wealth and long life", but the Gao family has been for generations.
Those people could not see the contribution of the maritime merchants and Jinghai Gao to the Qi people's expansion of the sea.
To say that today's large-scale construction projects and the construction of sea-viewing platforms are purely for showing off and enjoyment, it is not the style of today's society no matter how you look at it.
Furthermore, how can one not be able to boast about the achievements of an emperor? How can one not enjoy the achievements of an emperor?
"Although you sing the joy of the world, it is not enough to play its merits. Even though you make the most of the treasures of the four seas, you are not enough to enjoy its inheritance!"
Like many people born in the Yuanfeng era of the Da Qi Empire, Bao Weihong has the highest worship and admiration for the Emperor - even now that he has seen the true meaning of life, this worship is only based on the belief in [death].
Down.
Only death is the highest justice, only death is the end of everything.
Only Jiang Shu is the true emperor and can be regarded as the emperor for eternity!
The location of Wanghaitai is surprising at first, and then makes people think deeply.
After Gein became a famous family, Bao Weihong knew deeply how influential Kurongyuan had been.
There is a poem to prove it - "Eight hundred temples in the East Kingdom, the Buddha illuminates the pillow and sleeps." ("Dongxiang Gubi")
Of course, poems like these have basically disappeared later. That is to say, a son of an aristocratic family like Bao Weihong can still find a few words in some essays at the time.
Many years after the destruction of Kurongyuan, the Daqi Night Wandering God and the watchman Zhu Sui often patrolled here.
Even Uncle Shuo Fang personally participated in the war against Kurongyuan, but he kept it secret for many years.
So when he became very curious about Kurei-yuan and was eager to trace its origins and clarify the history of that year, he did not even think about asking his biological uncle, but to find out the answer himself.
First, I knew that Uncle Shuo would not tell me, and second, I instinctively felt that asking Uncle Shuo about this matter was quite risky.
Of course, he couldn't go directly to the ruins of Kureiyuan to check the history, not to mention whether he could still pick up any rags after so many years.
Just for this matter that everyone avoids talking about, there must be some kind of truth that is inconvenient to discuss, and there must be some kind of force that does not want people to discuss it openly - he is not stupid, how can he ask in a big way?
Bao's carriage business has the largest market share in Qi State, and its intelligence capabilities are second to none.
Relying on Bao's connections, Bao Weihong visited many officials involved in the old affairs of Kurongyuan. Many of them have already become officials, and those who are still in office are already in high positions.
Fortunately, Mr. Bao is naturally of high rank, and he is qualified to talk to him since he was born.
In addition, he also went to [Dianyuan], which was under the jurisdiction of Zang Zhiquan, the imperial court official. He had a good friend who was working as a "Zhishu Lang" in Dianyuan and followed Zang Zhiquan to compile history. Unfortunately, the detailed records of the Kurongyuan incident that year were not found in [Dianyuan].
It is also a secret file in the hospital, and his friends have no right to read it.
However, the general outline of the Kurei-in incident was relatively publicly described in [Dian-in].
He also borrowed some miscellaneous records and finally pieced together a rough supplement in his mind.
Including [Dian Yuan], many records basically characterize the razing of Kurong Yuan as "quelling chaos". This represents the official attitude of Qi State.
Finally, he came to Yulifeng.
Yulifeng is a very interesting place.
It used to be the poorest place in Linzi and a place where refugees gathered. The old view changed because of the arrival of Desheng Trading Company.
It can be regarded as a rare display of warmth from Bowang Hou, who is actually cold-hearted.
But as a descendant of the Bao family, Bao Weihong's coming here certainly has nothing to do with the surname Chongxuan.
Yulifeng was a place where fishermen lived a long time ago, long before the Qi State was established. There was a name at that time, "Yulifang".
I don't know why the history of the Eastern Region is so complete, but this name has been lost. Bao Weihong also saw the record in a very remote classic.
Of course, the main reason why he chose to come to this place is——
Before the destruction of Kurongyuan, every family in Yulifefang worshiped Buddha. It was the most pious charity center in Kurongyuan and was even called "Yuli Zen Fang"!
When Kurongyuan was still there, there was an incense shop in every three steps of Yulifeng and a restaurant in every five steps. People could live a very good life just by doing incense and candle business, and their families were well off. There were even "offering incense on behalf of others", "
No matter how busy you are in the business of "worshiping the Buddha on behalf of the Buddha", you can still be polite in front of the Buddha as long as you use money.
This place fell into decline with the decline of Kurongyuan. "Dongxiang Gubi" wrote, "Once the incense is extinguished, every household will not be able to live."
Although he did not explicitly say that this is the Yuli Zen Fang, Bao Weihong felt that there was no more suitable place.
He even asked his father Yingbo's friend, an elder who taught at Qinku Academy, to help him find out a most important piece of history——
During the reign of Emperor Wu, the mysterious "Tianfei" who practiced in Kurongyuan was born in Yulifeng!
It is precisely because of this nobility and the connection with Buddhism, and the royal family of all generations who have taken care of this place intentionally or unintentionally, that Yuli Fang has "unceasing good faith" and can become "Yulifang Zen Fang".
Now we are all gone.
Whether it is "Tianfei" or "Yuli Zen Studio", they are like the ashes of the incense burner and have become history.
Walking in the bustling Yulifeng, a place he would never have set foot on before, feeling the flow of time and the changes in things, Bao Weihong suddenly thought -
How is Desheng Trading Company's transformation of Yulifeng similar to Wanghaitai's occupation of the ruins of Kurongyuan?
And Yulifeng has been reduced to a place of poverty and poverty, and Kurongyuan has been reduced to ruins. What is the difference?
Now it seems that it is exactly the same idea.
First, completely eliminate the influence of Kurei-in, use "time" and "abandonment", and perhaps "suppression". These three treasures will kill the Buddha. Finally, rebuild on the ruins to make everything new.
After Wanghaitai is completed, which will not take more than a few years, if you ask what Kurongyuan is, I am afraid not many people will know.
Just like Yulifeng today, the sound of Zen has long since ceased to exist.
Before the construction of Wanghaitai, who could have taken the initiative to embrace the emperor's thinking and think about what the emperor had not said?
Should it be said that he is worthy of being the Marquis of Bowang? In just a few years after taking the title, he has already established his own faction in the court, and has become a true official?
Bao Weihong suddenly lost interest in Kurongyuan at this time.
He realized what kind of person the Bao family's old rival was in the hands of now. Even if Bao Xuanjing was extremely talented, could the Bao family really compete with the Chongxuan family when Xuanjing's nephew grew up?
Today's Bao Xuanjing is nothing more than tomorrow's Zhongxuan Zun.
But didn’t Chongxuan Zun also lose the title of Bowanghou?
The feeling of exploring history in my heart was like a fire for some reason. It was extinguished at first, but the next moment it suddenly ignited and burned again.
Kurongyuan... Bao Weihong found that he still wanted to know the history of Kurongyuan, and he wanted to know it urgently. He didn't know why he was so curious, but he couldn't overcome his burning desire to explore.
So he stopped and walked forward again, even a little eagerly.
According to the information from previous investigations, there was an old woman named "Ji Nu" in Yulifeng. Thirty-seven years ago, she opened an incense shop in Yulifeng. After the destruction of Kurongyuan, she did not leave. She lived alone here with others.
It is said that there is a way to summon gods to predict misfortune and ask questions about good luck - of course it can only deceive some ignorant neighbors, but it is enough to make a living.
Yulifeng has been poor for a long time, but the poorer it is, the easier it is to place its hope in misty things because there is really no other hope.
"Ji Ni" is the only old man who can still be related to "Yuli Chan Fang". The others were either killed, fled, or changed their faces.
Of course, this also means that she must not be a key figure in Kureiyuan, otherwise the court would not allow her to be here today. The longer she exists, the more it means that she may be irrelevant.
But Bao Weihong just wanted to explore history. He only wanted people who experienced that time, and he was not looking for the inheritance of Kurongyuan.
I walked forward along the map in my memory, winding around the complex Yulifeng, and finally came to a secluded courtyard.
He walked to the crumbling courtyard door, raised his hand, and was about to knock on the door——
Squeak~ Yeah
The courtyard door opened on its own.
Standing in the room was a slender woman wearing single clothes and cloth shoes, looking at him expressionlessly.
It was a look with no emotion, but a very dangerous look.
Bao Weihong took a step back almost subconsciously!
The woman in front of me has been an unknown person for a long time.
Without a prominent family background or outstanding talent, anyone with a little bit of strength could easily crush her to death.
She is just a maid...
But she is Jiang Wang’s maid!
I have been following Jiang Wang since Qingyang Town.
When Jiang Wang was granted the title of baron, she would take charge of the fiefdom for Jiang Wang.
Jiang Wang wanted to seal Nanxia, so she went to Nanxia.
Jiang Wangli got married and even handed over the shares of Desheng Trading Company to her.
She is really an unknown person, she looks so inconspicuous, but who dares to underestimate her?
Now, she is already a disciple of Zhu Sui!
"Young Master Bao from Yong Yong's Mansion?" Seeing the visitor retreat in shock, Dugu's slender eyebrows slightly darkened.
"You know me?" Bao Weihong actually felt flattered.
Little Dugu realizes that he is mediocre and can only do everything he can and worry about things that the master is too lazy to worry about.
Not only Bao Weihong, but also all the important people in the Bao family, she knew them all well.
It’s not just Bao.
The old man once served as an official in Qi, and she remembered everything about Qi's officialdom.
But she would never tell Bao Weihong these things.
He just asked: "Did Mr. Bao also come to see Concubine Ji to ask for her signature?"
The woman in the courtyard is really thin, but because of this thinness, she shows a sharpness.
For a moment, Bao Weihong felt as if there was a crazy desire deep in his soul, as if it was about to burst out of his heart, making him eager to erase something, but he stopped suddenly.
Inexplicably, his curiosity and desire to explore Kureiyuan faded away again.
He was stunned for a moment and said: "Ah, yes, yes."
"Then I won't bother you." Duguxiao looked at him indifferently and walked past him.
Bao Weihong stood there quietly, thinking for a moment.
Why did Dugu Xiao also come to see Ji Nu?
Does she need to ask for a signature?
Or, is she also looking for old friends from back then and looking for the history of Kureiyuan?
Bao Weihong suddenly realized that the purpose of his trip had been exposed...exposed to the question just now.
Just as Dugu Xiao didn't need to ask for a signature from an old woman like Ji Nu, he, Bao Weihong, didn't need to ask for a signature at all.
So Dugu Xiao asked him if he was also here to ask for autographs, and he subconsciously told the truth with a lie!
After all, it is not a sin to explore the history of Kurei-in, so he is not afraid. He is just more and more wary of this unknown woman. At first glance, she seems to be lost in the sea of people, but upon closer inspection, she is thin and sharp... It is like seeing it with a stick.
The blood-sealed butterfly-wing knife.
It is actually a waste to follow someone like Jiang Wang who is extremely powerful and doesn't manage his power very much.
At this time, an old voice came from behind -
"Guest, are you testing good luck or bad luck?"
Bao Weihong turned around and saw an old woman with goose-skinned and white hair walking out of the door of the inner hall, looking towards this side with cloudy eyes.
Is there any saying about predicting good luck or bad luck?
He tentatively said: "Ji?"
The old woman grinned her toothless mouth and said, "Guest, whatever you ask for today will come true. You will definitely turn your bad luck into good luck!"
As he spoke, he stretched out his wrinkled hand.
Bao Weihong was stunned for a second before he realized what he was doing and put two knives on his palm.
Is this the end of asking for a signature?
Even if it's a lie... it's too perfunctory!
…
…
Dugu Xiao was once a speck of dust in the Yang Kingdom.
But today, in Qi State, which has firmly established itself as the hegemon of the Eastern Region, she is also an existence that many people cannot ignore.
Especially Bao Xuanjing!
Because he understood very well that contacting Dugu Xiao was equivalent to contacting Jiang Wang.
Just as he can lend power to Bao Weihong at any time, Jiang Wang can also perform miracles on Dugu Xiao at any time.
Jiang Wang is the god of Duguxiao!
In the eyes of Bao Xuanjing, who was once a god in the underworld, the outline of the divine seal in Dugu Xiao's body and the transmission of the power of faith were so clear.
At the same time that Bao Weihong was stunned at the door of "Ji Lao", in Shuofang Bo's house, Bao Xuanjing, who was brazenly chatting innocently with Zheng Shangming, also had a wooden sculpture carved out of clay.
Big disaster today!
In just one day, many accidents have occurred.
When I went out to do some errands, I unexpectedly met the last White Bone Saint on the White Bone Road.
He almost instinctively wants to swallow Tao Fruit to replenish himself, thinking that "God bless me" is the good luck.
However, he was inexplicably targeted by martial arts master Zhong Liyan, who humiliated and beat him violently. After he endured the humiliation until the end, he met Zheng Shangming who happened to be patrolling the other side of the street, and was repeatedly disturbed by him, so that he could not do anything.
The move on the sea was aimed at the Bafu Immortal Palace and the Osawada clan. He was focused on the spread of the Bao family's power within Qi State and wanted to complete his own cultivation path. He also sincerely hoped that his grandfather could take a further step.
.
In order to ensure that things develop as planned, he specially asked his uncle Miao Rutai to take control of the situation and secretly grant him the Seal of the Underworld... However, he met a hidden master of the Tian family who was suspected of having real power, and was destroyed with one blow. Even
Even the drop of water from the underworld that was supposed to record the news has not returned yet, and I don’t know where it is.
Now, if you check the history of Kurongyuan through Bao Weihong of Uncle Yingying’s family, you can also meet Jiang Wang’s people!
Jiang Wang is his biggest nemesis, the only flaw in his life, and his terrifying growth rate. Now he has enough strength to kill his people! If he wants to grasp Jiang Wang's situation, he can only go to the Taixu Illusion Realm.
When I heard about Tiangong, I didn't say anything about going directly to Yun Kingdom or Xingyue Yuan.
How could there be such an unexpected encounter?
For today's him and today's Jiang Wang, all unexpected encounters are dangers! They are dangers to him.
Just like Daoli 3917, his arrival in Maplewood City was also an unexpected danger for Jiang Wang.
Times are different.
If it weren't for the fact that he didn't directly control Bao Weihong, but indirectly guided him, and the guidance was very hidden. If it weren't for the purpose of Bao Weihong's trip just to explore the history of Kurongyuan, there would be no danger that it couldn't be exposed.
If he hadn't woken up in time, suppressed the [Forgetting Seal] deep in Bao Weihong's soul, and prevented Bao Weihong from losing control and taking action under the sudden dangerous feeling...
What he was facing now was Jiang Wang suddenly descending on Zicheng and beheading him with a sword.
No one can save Fang Bo from the Miao family, Bao Jia Shuo!
The name of Qi's peerless genius has no ability to protect himself in front of Jiang Wang.
If Jiang Wang kills him, he will be killed.
People in Qi will probably take the initiative to find out why Bao Xuanjing died.
Even the grandfather who has high hopes for him would probably ask "why" first!
So, why did it come to this point?
Why is it so...unsuccessful?
"Xuanjing? What's wrong with you?" The gentle and considerate Uncle Zheng began to show concern again, and even reached out his hand to test Bao Xuanjing's forehead temperature.
Seeing that there was nothing unusual, he continued to comfort: "Don't be stressed. It's not your problem that something like this happened..."
Bao Xuanjing raised his head from his seat: "Yes, I don't want to either."
At this time, Bao Xuanjing was so calm that Zheng Shangming was a little surprised.
I used to look so ashamed and angry!
Being able to recover so quickly is not in vain. I put down my official duties and patiently accompany you in this house.
It seems that my patience and warmth have given this child a lot of comfort...
Perhaps it is because I was caught in the rain when I was a child and understand the loneliness and embarrassment of childhood that I can hold an umbrella for others when I grow up!
After becoming the captain of Bei Ya, Zheng Shangming devoted himself to officialdom. Zheng Shangming had not had this kind of pure feeling for a long time. This kind of care and understanding, trust, sincerity and resonance between people made him feel moved for a long time.
He said sincerely: "When you feel better, uncle will take you to play. There is a lot of fun in Linzi. I heard that you study and practice every day, so you must not have had much exposure to-"
"Okay. Then let's go today." Bao Xuanjing said.
Zheng Shangming nodded: "How many days will it take - eh?"
He was stunned for a moment.
Taking Bao Xuanjing to play, he just said so politely, and had no intention of asking Bao Xuanjing to agree now. In his opinion, this child has a lively and cheerful appearance, but a sensitive and cautious heart, and it will take time to be influenced.
Moreover, he has a heavy workload, so if he really wants to go out for fun one day, he has to find time to rest in advance.
But since Bao Xuanjing nodded and was so impatient, if he refused, it would inevitably make the child sad.
"Okay!" Zheng Shangming responded enthusiastically: "Let's pack up and set off!"
He looked at Bao Xuanjing with some hesitation: "Is your abdominal pain... better?"
"I'm already well..." Bao Xuanjing showed a bit of shyness that he didn't want to mention, but he also looked forward to it naively: "Uncle Zheng, will you take me on a spring outing in the countryside?"
His eyes dimmed a bit: "Grandpa never allowed me to leave the city..."
"Ah? Haha, yes!" Zheng Shangming showed a 'you guessed it' expression: "I just want to take you to the countryside for a spring outing! Go change clothes, tell your mother, and we will set off right now!"
Bao Xuanjing looked at him deeply: "Okay, Uncle Zheng, wait here."
Seeing the dependent eyes of this young uncle, Zheng Shangming smiled happily.
He casually picked up his badge and said, "I have official business to leave the city. General affairs will be transferred to Deputy Qi's case."
After thinking for a while, he then ordered: "If there is any place with beautiful scenery on the outskirts of Linzi, please let me know as soon as possible. I need it for work."
Speaking of which, children's eyes are really bright.
Like a living spring.
…
…
The water of Huangquan is like a drip, and it has its own inn on Xia Island, falling all the way into the deep sea.
No matter whether it is rocks, waves, swimming fish, or anything else, nothing can stop it from passing through.
It really exists, but it has false reflections.
It shuttles between human nature and has a divine rendering.
Finally, he passed through all obstacles and reached the bottom of the bottom, the dark sky.
Tick~tick!
It fell into a living spring.
For a moment, the ripples on the water surface opened up so gently, like a water lily embracing the world.
This is a quiet spring!
Every drop of water in the spring is very clean.
What makes it muddy is the human world it has experienced.
The hazy light and shadow, and the turbid yellow color were all contaminated along the way and washed away in the water.
There are reflections on the water.
People are sitting on the shore.
In this bottomless bottom, in the dark sky, in this tiny gap between the real world and the nether world, in the endless time and space, there is actually hidden the legendary underworld.
And there is someone sitting alone here!
The person reflected in the water did not look outstanding. He was wearing linen robes and had a friendly smile.
The man sitting on the shore, with distant eyes, sat quietly by the spring, holding a fishing rod. The fishing line had no hook and did not touch the water.
The fountain, which represents death, has a sense of life. The living person sitting here seems to be dead.
The reflection in the water is his longing, and his distant eyes seem to be looking out into the world, neither in the present world, the netherworld, nor in front of him.
He saw the vast land, the Jiewukong realm.
In that empty space, there stood a silent man, looking at him with unpredictable eyes.
He is wearing a green robe and a jade crown, and is wielding a sword.
