Returning to the village at the foot of the mountain, Yang Rui was the only one in the farmyard where he stayed. Although it was freezing and snowy outside, there was still a lot of farm work, and busyness was the main theme here. Some of the unique cold-resistant crops here need to be taken care of every day. We count on them all year round, but we can't afford to be careless.
Yang Rui's body means that he doesn't need to care too much about the severe cold here. An ordinary fur jacket is enough, and he can stay outside for a long time without stuffing more clothes inside.
Yang Rui has always liked the snow scene, and even more so after arriving in the North Country.
He jumped up to the roof, stirred up the magic power, and stirred all the snow accumulated overnight to the roadside in the distance. He sat down cross-legged on the roof.
This is Yang Rui's favorite way to be quiet in this village. Feeling the sunshine during the day, surrounded by a vast expanse of white, and hearing busy voices in the distance, this quiet yet noisy atmosphere is the most suitable for him. An environment suitable for quiet meditation.
Holding the jade box taken out from the storage backpack in his hand, the "Wu Xin Shui Jade" inside is lying quietly. It shows a history that has become the past and will almost be dusted forever.
"The Qiande Dynasty could not escape the fate of collapse after more than a thousand years."
Yang Rui searched all the way in the Ice and Snow North Kingdom and read the historical records of countless ancient countries. Not only the eight countries of the Ice and Snow North Kingdom, but also the contents of many great countries that had once been glorious in the history of the human race. This one can truly last forever. None. Even the oldest countries have gone through several turmoils, either merging or falling apart. It is extremely rare to have a false name left behind.
The story of Qian De's rise to power is just one of the many stories of the decline of countries.
It's just that Yang Rui happens to have some relationship with Qiande Kingdom. After all, he comes from the royal family of Nanyuan Kingdom, which inherits half of Qiande Kingdom. He has a kind of affection and emotion towards the things of Qiande Kingdom from the bottom of his heart.
At that time, Xu Yegong, the ninth prince of Qiande Shangguo, did not choose to die with his country. Instead, he fled to the north in a hurry with his "Martial Hearts and Water Jade" and many treasures. His intention must be to restore the glory of Shangguo, or to You must keep a descendant, otherwise Wu Xin Shui Yu will not be taken away.
But God has it in store for us, and we finally found a place, but he died unexpectedly before it could be officially developed. I'm afraid Xu Yegong must have been extremely unwilling at the moment of his death, right?
But so what? If you don’t give in, you have to die. After death, everything disappears, so what’s the point of the past plans?
Even now, looking back and distinguishing carefully, Yang Rui can see some subtle but vague shadows of southerners on the faces of the villagers in Sanxing Wuliu Village.
Perhaps this village was originally developed by some guards brought by Xu Yegong to stay here, and then slowly intermarried with the surrounding locals. Now the bloodline has long been lost.
"If Xu Yegong had known his fate in advance, would he have gone to such great lengths to die in a foreign land? Or would he have chosen to die with the country along with all the royal family?"
It is inevitable that there will be some joking and some sadness in my heart.
Suddenly, Yang Rui missed the "Jingxin Pavilion" on the hillside of Duoya Mountain. The noisy waterfall there always calmed people down.
But when he thought about having to face a lot of bad things about himself after going back, Yang Rui's mood became not so good. He sighed repeatedly.
"It would be great if I could cultivate my life without worrying about worldly affairs."
Looking up at the sky, Yang Rui was half lying on the roof. Suddenly, his eyesight blurred, and a figure appeared on his head. The shadow cast a shadow on him, making him stunned for a moment. Then he quickly turned over, and then saluted and said hello to the person who was slowly falling in the air.
.
"Disciple, meet your master!"
Zhang Yan came. He even came for a while. But he saw that his apprentice seemed to be feeling something, so he didn't bother him. However, the jade box held in Yang Rui's hand made him curious, and he felt something strange in his face.
The exuberant vitality slowly spreads out.
"You run far away. Do you like to watch the snow every day? Or do you want to stay away and worry about your family coming?" Zhang Yan waved his hand and led Yang Rui to the Skylark Shuttle, then flew back into the clouds. He
I feel like this is a more suitable place to talk than the rooftop just now.
"Master Mingjian, I really don't want to run into anyone from the royal family, so I can only hide far away. However, although I have traveled a long way, my disciple has also gained a lot."
"It's good to have something to gain, but did you know that the day before yesterday, a deacon from the Nanyuan Internal Affairs Office followed Shen Wujiu to visit the mountain and mentioned your marriage to me. He wanted me to force you to go back and marry the princess of Huayue Kingdom.
Haha, don't worry. Your master, I have expressed my opinion to you a long time ago. With your cultivation talents, it is not a good thing to get married early. So I rejected the deacon of the Ministry of Internal Affairs at that time.
But I think the other party is right about one thing. You are always a member of the royal family, and your engagement is indeed bothering the royal family. You can't always avoid it, the matter needs to be solved. How long can you hide?
There’s no reason to lose your reputation over this.”
"But if I go back, I'm worried that I won't be able to be cruel. My father and concubine can always find a way to make my disciple submit." Yang Rui was also discouraged. His father stopped talking, and his mother and concubine's cries and begging alone were always enough.
It can make him soften his heart. How can he refuse it then?
"What is that thing? It is so full of vitality, it must not be a mortal thing, right?" Zhang Yan shook his head. He is not suitable to give specific advice on how to deal with the relationship with the royal family. He can only give guidance on how to deal with those things in the end.
It’s still up to Yang Rui to grasp the details.
He understood what the master said in his heart, but he was still confused. And Yang Rui knew that he could no longer hide this time. If the master came forward, he would go back to Yuanding Imperial City to settle the matter no matter what.
He frowned when he heard the Master's question, so he talked about the "Martial Heart Water Jade" that he had spent a lot of effort to find during this trip and the death of Xu Yegong, the ninth prince of the Kingdom of Qiande.
came out.
Yang Rui spoke very carefully. This was the first time he had the opportunity to share his gains with others, and it was such a big gain. He also hoped to be recognized by his master.
"This is the Wuxin Shuiyu?! Tsk, it's very similar to the one in the rumors, but it seems a little smaller. But can this thing rebuild the Wuchi?"
"It's possible, Master. It's just that it's too small, so we can only build a reduced size martial pool. But the effectiveness won't be compromised much."
"Now that you have this thing in hand, what else do you have to worry about when you return to Yuanding Imperial City? Compared to rebuilding Wuchi, what does the engagement between Princess Huayue and you mean?"
"Master, do you mean to use this thing to offset it?"
