Chapter 17 Bai Lao passed away, humanity is boundless
The founder of Zhuang's Trading Company.
A loyal old servant.
Zhuang Ming's right-hand man when he was running a business, and the former Minister of Household Affairs of the Dongsheng Dynasty.
Many times when Zhuang Ming left, whether it was the business of the trading company or the major events of the Dongsheng Dynasty, most of them were on the shoulders of the old man.
This old man has no descendants, no selfish motives, and is already old. He has no weaknesses that require him to bend the law for personal gain and greed for money and food. In the first half of his life, he failed to recognize his talents. In the second half of his life, he worked hard, and all his thoughts were on the great cause.
.
For this reason, he even neglected to practice.
The last time, Zhuang Ming came back to renew his life.
This time, it was no longer possible to extend his life.
The only way is to let him refine the golden elixir of the Great Dao, or achieve the goal of refining gods and demons.
However, the old man who had neglected his practice and was preoccupied with the general trend of the court, his mind was too complicated and could no longer be immersed in the understanding of the great road. Moreover, he was old and his body was decayed. Although he had the blood of the dragon clan, it was difficult for him to experience too intense training.
So, he has reached the end of his life.
Bai Lao, who has not yet completed his spiritual practice, has extremely weak breath.
The so-called life-extending elixirs, not even the ambergris saliva of the real dragon, nor the blood essence of the dragon clan could restore his life.
Unless Zhuang Ming becomes a celestial dragon at this moment, a celestial dragon on the level of an immortal or a god, ambergris saliva can be called a holy medicine recorded in ancient legends, with the effect of reviving the dead and the flesh and bones.
But at this moment, the time has not yet come.
Only a few days left.
"The layout has been laid out so far, and it is going to be a success, but it is a pity..."
Zhuang Ming looked at the old man on the sick bed and his withered and pale face. His mood was extremely complicated and he looked depressed. He sighed: "It's only a few days."
If it were someone else, it would not be difficult to extend their life by a few days.
However, Bai Lao had a high position and the most seniority in the Dade Holy Dynasty. Under Zhuang Ming's instructions, all the methods and things that could extend his life had been used on Bai Lao.
If not for this, Mr. Bai would have passed away many years ago.
Now he has exhausted all the ways to extend his life, but even for just a few days, he can't sustain it.
"It doesn't matter."
Bai Lao was so angry that he spoke in a very low voice and his eyes were already dim, but he forced a smile and said: "I was just a poor scholar who wasted his life. He only half-footed his way into the graveyard. When he met the young master and was able to display his ambition, he has become extremely powerful."
Satisfied... Watching the business grow bigger step by step, until the young master turned into a dragon, Zhuang's business surpassed the imperial dynasty, then replaced the Dongsheng dynasty, until now the Dade Holy dynasty, the old slave's life has been extremely exciting.
"
He reluctantly raised his head, the light in his eyes seemed to be a little brighter, and he laughed in a low voice: "Life is seventy years old. Not only is this old slave over a hundred years old, but he is also two seventy years old together. He is better than all living beings in the world. I don't know.
No matter how lucky you are, it is a pity that you are not blessed enough. It is difficult to cultivate the Taoism, and it is useless to train your body. I can no longer accompany the young master on his journey."
Zhuang Ming closed his eyes slightly and said nothing for a long time.
"Young master is a real dragon. The current emperor should not be so sad."
Bai Lao said in a low voice: "However, I have one more request."
Zhuang Ming opened his eyes and said, "But it doesn't matter."
Bai Lao said aloud: "This old slave has no heirs in his life and has no worries outside. The people he cares about now are all in my Dade Holy Dynasty. Lord Long cares about his old feelings and will never treat them badly. And now the biggest
Concern is the entire Dade Holy Dynasty."
Zhuang Ming fell silent.
Bai Lao said softly: "What we are doing now is for a future... In the heart of this old slave, my great virtue, the Holy Dynasty, will definitely intimidate all the heavens and worlds, and achieve an eternal foundation. When that time comes, please Young Master
Come to Lao Nu’s grave in person and let me know.”
Zhuang Ming nodded and said: "The Holy Dynasty of Great Virtue will never be destroyed. I will work hard to rule the country and use the power of the Holy Dynasty of Great Virtue to shock the world, wipe out foreign enemies, eliminate internal troubles, and build an eternal foundation!"
Mr. Bai nodded slightly, nodded briefly... and then never raised his head again.
The last ray of life dissipated between heaven and earth.
"..."
Zhuang Ming remained silent.
He looked at the old man in front of him and did not move for a long time.
This old man poured his heart and soul into Zhuang's Trading Company and dedicated everything in the rest of his life to the Dade Holy Dynasty.
No heirs, no selfishness, only righteousness.
Until his death, he was still thinking about the future of the Great Virtue Holy Dynasty, which he had devoted countless efforts to.
The Great Virtue Holy Dynasty was headed by Zhuang Ming, but it was no longer just Zhuang Ming's Great Virtue Holy Dynasty.
The brothers who gathered in the Holy Mountain became the pillars of the Dade Holy Clan.
Wen Han, Yue Yang, Bai Qing and others became the guards of the Dade Holy Dynasty.
Liu He, Chen Feiyun and others became the eyes that monitored various ministries.
Liu Yuexuan, Lu He, Gu Shan and others sneaked into the Great Chu Dynasty, risking their lives and the high-ranking officials and salaries they had to serve the Great Virtue Holy Dynasty.
There are also people like Bai Lao, Fu Lao, Xue Qing and others who devoted countless efforts to the stability and peace of the Dade Holy Dynasty.
Lao Wulu Changshou's Tiangong Mansion, Shuang Ling's Alchemy Department, Old Man Bronze Mirror's Supervision Department, Liuhe's Inspection Department... as well as the soldiers from all sides, and even a soldier proficient in martial arts, they all support this great city.
De holy pilgrimage.
Some are pillars, some are beams, some are bricks, some are tiles, and some are even foundation stones.
That's why there was this vast spiritual dynasty.
"Farewell to Mr. Bai."
Zhuang Ming held the junior ceremony and gave a salute to the elder.
outside the door.
Bai Qing, Shuang Ling and others are already waiting.
"Longjun..."
"Bury the old man with dignity."
Zhuang Ming responded like this, breaking everyone's expectations.
Everyone looked gloomy and sighed.
Zhuang Ming took a step forward but stopped talking.
Bai Qing hesitated for a moment and asked: "He is a veteran of a trading company. Can he call on you to come back to the mountain to offer sacrifices?"
Before Zhuang Ming could respond, a voice sounded.
"No."
Tang Tianying said seriously: "The current situation is very urgent. The opportunity is fleeting. It is related to the future of the Dade Holy Dynasty, our life and death, and the hundreds of millions of living beings within the Dade Holy Dynasty... If Mr. Bai is here, each of them will
It’s okay to come back and see him for the last time, but Bai Lao has passed away, and the lamp is extinguished after his death. In order to mourn, it is really inappropriate to recall important ministers from all parties and affect the situation of all parties. Even Bai Lao himself would never want to see him."
When Bai Qing heard this, he also fell silent.
"After this, let's worship again."
Zhuang Ming said seriously: "Send Mr. Bai to Fengcheng, Huai'an, to the cemetery at the back of Qianlong Villa."
There is the burial place of Qian Yang and Yin Ming.
Many soldiers who died in Qianlong Villa are also buried there.
There is the resting place of the elders of Zhuang's Trading Company.
At night.
Royal Palace.
Zhuang Ming put his hands behind his back and looked up at the bright moon in the sky, looking in a daze.
"Sir, the elixir has been prepared. I was afraid of making mistakes, so I sent it myself." A clear girl's voice came from outside.
"You keep it for now. Early tomorrow morning, follow me back to the Jusheng Mountain sect." Zhuang Ming said aloud, "Just stay in the palace tonight."
"Yes, sir." The girl responded softly with a slightly lower voice.
"Shuang Ling." Zhuang Ming suddenly said.
"Here." The girl's voice responded quickly.
"Promise Young Master..." Zhuang Ming took a deep breath and said, "I will follow Young Master and keep going and watch the Dade Holy Dynasty reach the highest peak with my own eyes."
"..." Shuang Ling thought about the death of Bai Lao, and knew the deep meaning of the young master's words, and immediately said softly: "Shuang Ling will definitely save his life, keep this body, and watch with his own eyes my great virtue, the Holy Dynasty, dominate the heavens and the world!
"
"Um."
Zhuang Ming was silent for a moment and said, "Remember, this is your promise."
He once thought that with his own practice, he could make the Great Virtue Holy Dynasty become stronger along with him.
As the saying goes, when one person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.
He was the emperor of the Dade Holy Dynasty.
If he attains enlightenment, the Great Virtue Holy Dynasty will be an immortal dynasty, and all Dragon Guards will have the hope of becoming immortal gods and demons.
But in fact, not every old man, every elder, every confidant can accompany him to the end.
This is a long road with endless avenues. As he walks farther and farther, there will be fewer and fewer people around him.
There are only a few people who can accompany him to the end.
I'm afraid that in the end, there will only be a handful of elders who can see the Holy Dynasty of Great Virtue, unite the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and intimidate all the heavens and worlds.
Ever since he started running a trading company, many people under his command have died in the process. For example, Lu Yang, and those who died for him to transform into a dragon to resist the army, have not been able to continue to follow in his footsteps.
.
Nowadays, the Dade Holy Dynasty is so prosperous, but in the end who can watch him ascend to the top of the world?
Bai Lao, who has been following him since he founded the trading company, has stopped here.
