Night falls slowly, and under the starry sky, windmills rotate slowly.
Yingdao and Milu walked under the summer stars.
Above the head, there are many stars, and the stars are brilliant.
The people of Chu State who followed them were all amazed.
"The starry sky and mountains here..." someone said, "are even more beautiful than those in my country of Chu!"
Yingdao and Mi Lu couldn't help but raise their heads and look at the starry sky above them.
Mi Lu remembered that when she first came here, the starry sky in Liu County was not so pure, charming and beautiful.
At that time, the stars were dim and the moon was cold.
Not like now, the stars are bright and the moon is soft.
"I heard..." Yingdao said: "In ancient times, the Holy Emperor ruled the world..."
"At that time, the heaven and earth were pure, the mountains and rivers were flowing with jade, and the water in the rivers was extremely clear!"
"At that time, ascendants were emerging one after another..."
"It's not difficult to attain the Golden Immortal Realm!"
"Many of the emperors in the heavens today achieved enlightenment at that time!"
Mi Lu also nodded: "My country of Chu also has similar records!"
After all, he is the descendant of Emperor Gaoyang after Zhuanxu.
"Even when the Human Emperor is ruling the world, the heaven, earth, mountains and rivers are still surrounded by spiritual veins..."
"The starry sky at that time was purer than now!"
"The stars in the sky spread the spiritual light of the nine heavens to the world day and night, nourishing all things!"
"Taiyin and the sun nourish all living beings with the essence of the sun and the moon all year round!"
"At that time, there were great sages and great witches in the world..."
"In the true sense!" Mi Lu emphasized.
"It was at that time that my ancestor of the Chu Kingdom condensed the true body of the Nine Phoenixes and became the true body of the great sage of the demon clan!"
The true form of Nine-Headed Phoenix Tail's ancestors and the footprints left in Jiufeng Palace are still clearly visible.
That is a powerful demon race comparable to the Golden Immortal!
Invincible magical powers and extraordinary talents!
"What happened after that?" A young man from Chen State behind them couldn't help but ask: "How did it become what it is now?"
He also looked at the stars.
The beauty of the starry sky here intoxicated him.
As a descendant of the Immortal God, he knows very well that the more beautiful the world is, the higher the spirituality of the mountains and rivers, and the purer the spiritual energy. If you practice in such a place, the chance of enlightenment will be higher!
Therefore, those who cultivate in the Paradise of Cave Heaven have made progress far beyond that of monks in the human world.
And in his hometown, the starry sky of Chen country, even when the moon is the roundest and the conditions are the best.
It is always deserted and hazy.
Most of the time, when you look up at the stars, you can only see thousands of ethereal stars hanging in the sky.
Instead of now, this Liujun starry sky.
The stars are shining, the stars are brilliant, the moon is flowing, and the moon is like water.
Above the mountains and rivers, there are faint traces of starlight, and the moonlight is faintly visible.
"Some people say..." Mi Lu replied: "It's because people's hearts are not as old as they used to be, and the world's moral standards are getting worse..."
"Only when a gentleman governs the world and the golden fairy of Qingfu regulates the mountains and rivers can we return to the purity of ancient times!"
"But the immortal descendant, Qingfu Zhengxian, has ruled the world for 360,000 years..."
"Now, we have reached the moment when all the rites and rituals have collapsed!"
Having said this, King Chu's grandson smiled brightly.
"So, seeing this, I denounced the evildoer and punished the common people!"
"I thought it was them who caused the current situation!"
"So..." Mi Lu smiled.
After King Ping moved eastward, every country in the Central Plains blamed the Yao Tribe and the Shui Tribe.
It is believed that it was these monsters that caused the fall of Haojing.
From then on, the butcher knife started to be raised.
A large number of demon tribes from the Central Plains moved southward and entered the Shiwan Mountains.
Become the capital of the rise of Chu State!
The decline of the emperor also caused the order to completely lose its upper-level deterrence.
Since then, the Hebo Mountain Gods, who were still secretly cannibalizing people, have become more and more unscrupulous.
Today, if you don't eat people, it's not "noble" enough.
Yingdao chuckled: "I've heard another theory..."
"According to the records left by our ancestors..."
"Originally, there are countless fairy mountains, blessed places, and caves in the human world..."
"In the era of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, the owners of these fairy mountains, blessed lands, and caves would regularly manifest the fairy mountains and accept those who seek the Tao to enter the mountains to practice!"
"I can also teach people the Dharma and discuss the Tao..."
"Don't be different from the immortals, don't stick to your feet..."
"However, something happened later... Something happened to the owners of these fairy mountains, blessed places, and caves..."
"From now on, the path of seeking the truth for mortals is cut off!"
"The demon tribe, the water tribe, the wizard tribe, there are no more ascendants!"
"Only those descended from immortals can practice cultivation, and only those who have become the Qingfu Zhengshen can ascend!"
Everyone swallowed when they heard Yingdao's description.
They naturally know what Yingdao is talking about.
Unfortunately, except for Yingdao, most people dare not discuss and discuss this matter.
Because this matter is taboo!
Mi Lu nodded: "So, in the past hundreds of thousands of years, all the ancestors of our Chu Kingdom who have ascended to heaven have all ascended to Tai Sutian!"
As they spoke, everyone walked to the two windmills where Mi Lv and Ying Dao lived and took care of last year.
Under the night, several teenagers and a group of children were sitting cross-legged on the grass in front of the windmill.
The sky was full of stars shining down on them.
There is also a willow leaf rotating gently above the head, and each number receives the light of the stars in the sky, falling on the children's heads, like a candle, illuminating their surroundings.
Let the starlight in front of them be extra bright.
It also made the plank they erected under a tree shine brightly.
There was another group of fireflies flying down from the trees.
These insects, shining with fluorescence, landed around the wooden board.
The faint light illuminates the writing on the wooden board.
The teenagers, holding booklets one after another, are teaching these children how to read.
Yingdao and others watched from a distance.
"Don't disturb them!" Mi Lu said to the people behind him, "Be careful when you walk!"
"Yes!" Everyone replied in a low voice.
In fact, they will do it without Mi Lu’s orders.
because……
They have been known to disturb children's studies in Liu County.
It's the same crime as stealing!
Especially disturbing the study under Mr. Liu's care...
That will be hung up!
The group of people walked slowly to the wooden house where Yingdao lived last year.
Yingdao stepped forward and knocked gently on the door.
Soon the door opened and a burly man came out.
He just ran over from the coalition forces last month and claimed to be a refugee.
But it's actually a matter of detail.
However, after coming to Liujun, he immediately threw away his mission.
I found a job watching windmills and stayed there.
While earning some food, I did some odd jobs while waiting for placement from the Liu County Committee of Living Beings.
Maybe after three to five months, he will be resettled in a newly established village.
Then he would reclaim wasteland and get the land that belonged to him.
Even if you put down roots here.
"Who are you?" The man looked at the stranger in front of him in confusion.
"Let's take a look!" Yingdao said, handing over a jade plaque representing the Committee of All Living Beings: "I've lived here for two years!"
The man took it and took a look and immediately laughed: "So you are Mr. Ying!"
This is a legendary figure.
The noble prince who came from afar did not go to the city to enjoy the blessings. Instead, he came to this wilderness to be alone, guarding the windmill and teaching the children around him.
The children in more than a dozen nearby villages were all taught by this gentleman.
Therefore, when the representatives were selected this year, this stranger was carried into the Committee of All Living Beings by the farmers in Liucheng and became a representative!
It is said that Mr. Ying is responsible for many resettlement land reclamation and registration!
"Please come in!"
"We won't go in!" Yingdao smiled: "I just want you to let them see the situation in the room!"
"Okay!" the man said boldly.
Then he opened the wooden house and let the teenagers go in and visit.
The simple wooden house still looks like its original form.
It's just not as lively and neat as when Yingdao was there.
At that time, the children around would come here to ask for advice from the "knowledgeable" gentleman.
How to write and read each character.
The teenagers went in one by one, looked around, and then came out a little dejected.
"This place is too simple..." They all said after they came out: "Even the bed is made of wooden boards!"
"And we actually have to cook our own meals..."
Yingdao and Milv listened and smiled.
Mi Lu said: "You can go back and be with Mr. Zhao Shuo..."
"Not forced!"
Yingdao also said: "It's true that I don't force it!"
"It doesn't matter even if you go back to Chu State!"
Let’s go! Let’s go, it’s best if everyone goes!
These young people fell silent all of a sudden.
Zhao Shuo... of course they have all seen it. The young master of the Zhao family now lives in a big house in Liu County, playing and singing every day, how happy he is!
The only problem is...
He is in Liujun, but he is not in Liujun either.
He is still a foreigner.
When he left the house, no one recognized him.
Moreover, Liujun's auspicious birds and auspicious beasts ran away when they saw him.
That is already a useless person.
Of course it doesn't matter to the prince of Jin.
But if the prince of Chu becomes a useless person, he will die!
As for going back...
Will die soon!
Their father would kill them himself!
Chu State does not raise waste!
There are no descendants of the weak even among the strong in Chu State!
If you are weak, die!
If you are useless, you will die!
Even if they are lucky enough to survive, the limited resources from now on will not be wasted on them.
As long as you reach adulthood, you will be kicked out of your home and left to fend for yourself!
Therefore, these pampered teenagers finally chose to lower their heads.
"Your Highness..."
"We are at your disposal!"
Mi Lu laughed: "Then you should study seriously!"
"There are some newly built windmills in Pingyuan County this year and they are in need of people to take care of them!"
"I'll talk to the committee and arrange for you to go there!"
"Three men manning a windmill!"
"Wait until the end of the year, then look at your performance and arrange for you to take the exam!"
"Those who pass the exam can go to the Tianzun Seat to listen to the lecture!"
"Examination?" The teenagers looked at each other: "You still have to take the exam...with mortals?"
"Otherwise?" Mi Lu looked at these teenagers coldly.
"Don't you think that the position in front of Tianzun's throne can be obtained casually?"
"Don't you think that your opportunity just fell from the sky?"
In order to allow these people to have the same opportunities as Liujun children.
Mi Lu invited Dou Ziyu to go to the Liujun government office and hand over a thousand catties of fragrant copper.
In addition, in order for the Committee of Living Beings to also let these stupid children take care of the windmill.
He was also given incense and copper.
These are all resources!
"I'll tell you the truth!" Mi Lu said solemnly, "If I can govern Chu in the future!"
"Follow the path of Tianzun!"
"Everyone in Chu State needs to take the exam!"
"Those who fail the exam will be dismissed!"
The young people immediately became submissive.
In the face of Mi Lu's strength, they all finally chose to surrender.
This is the way of life in Chu.
The strong man should dominate everything and decide everything.
The weak can only obey.
And Mi Lu now shows his strength!
Of course these teenagers can only obey!
Yingdao watched from the side and couldn't help but rub his hands.
…………
Returning to Liucheng, he drove all the teenagers to their rented residences.
Mi Lu and Ying Dao returned to the government office tacitly.
The two of them sat opposite each other.
"The question Tianzun asked today..." Mi Lu asked: "Has Gongsun thought about it?"
Yingdao nodded slightly.
"If Gongsun can ascend in the future..." Mi Lu asked, "Would you like to ascend?"
Yingdao smiled: "I must respect the decree of the Heavenly Lord!"
"If Heavenly Lord lets me ascend, I will ascend!"
"If Heavenly Lord asks me to stay in the human world, I will stay in the human world!"
The Ying family of Qin State is the descendant of the master's disciple.
"What about Gongsun's own thoughts?" Mi Lu asked.
"In my impression, Gongsun is not the kind of submissive person!"
"My own thoughts?" Yingdao lowered his head, his experience in Liu County in the past two years came to mind.
Since I first arrived, I have determined that I will never return to my country if I don’t succeed in my studies.
With supreme determination, we shoulder the burden of the whole country.
I slowly got used to it, got used to it, and even accepted everything in Liujun.
Nowadays, the shadow of Liu Jun on him is lingering.
See the wise and think about them together.
See what is good and learn from it.
This is human nature!
Yingdao slowly raised his head and looked at Mi Lu: "Where is Wang Sun?"
"What do Wang Sun think?"
Mi Lu gently knocked on the table.
"Although I don't know Tianzun's true intention..."
"But I also know the reason why all the ancestors of our Chu Kingdom chose to ascend to Tai Sutian!"
"So, if there is an opportunity to ascend to Taisu Heaven and serve the Saint Empress, then I, Mi Lu, will have no choice but to do so!"
"If this is the so-called upper realm..."
He smiled and said nothing.
He already knows how to sympathize with the weak, so even Wang Sun has deviated from his own ass!
not to mention……
Mi Lu knew very well that under the current situation in the human world, one bad thing about ascending to the upper world would be to become the embers of a great catastrophe and become firewood.
"Gongsun, you haven't said anything yet!"
"Me!" Yingdao stood up, a look of determination flashed on his face.
All the things that Qin had seen and all that Liujun had witnessed with his own eyes flashed in his mind.
"If you are lucky enough to receive the great love of Heavenly Lord, you can collect it within the door wall..."
"If I win rice, I will not be able to ascend or attain enlightenment!"
"The same goes for my descendants!"
"Until the world is clear and the evil spirits are gone!"
Mi Lu raised his head and looked at Qin Gongsun in front of him. After a long silence, he said: "I am not as good as Gongsun!"
Not ascending means staying on earth forever.
Even if you reach the level of immortality, you will gradually grow old and die in the world of mortals.
Failure to attain enlightenment means that you will eventually end up with a cup of loess!
