Chapter 240 Where the Jingwei River is divided, people's hearts are clear

The differences between heaven and earth slowly dissipated.

The relationship between the two of them is also fading away.

"call!"

The cold wind blew by, and Fenghao, which was originally noisy, became silent for a moment, with only the sounds of chickens, dogs and beasts.

"Where's the Phoenix Bird?"

The phoenix does not fall and the fenghao disappears.

"The phoenix is ​​in the palace of classics, where are the two saints!"

"It's a near saint..."

Not only the people of Fenghao were discussing, but also the scholar-bureaucrats in the Zhou Palace were also discussing.

The emperor's face turned dark and he squeezed his palms tightly.

King Wen won Luofeng because of his good governance!

Now that Fengniao doesn't come to see him as the emperor, doesn't it mean that he doesn't recognize him?

On the side, Father Guo Shi saw the emperor's expression and listened to the comments around him. His eyes moved slightly and he said: "Good luck, emperor!"

"Fengniao is the two recent saints. Now that the two saints are in Zhou, doesn't it mean that Luofeng is in Zhou!"

"Your virtue as emperor has been recognized by the two near saints!"

When Father Guo Shi said this, the emperor's eyebrows relaxed.

But it's not enough.

The emperor snorted lightly and glanced at the scholar-bureaucrats around him.

Among them, there are many nobles from the surrounding vassal states, who have become ministers of Fenghao, or outstanding people sent by great powers to serve as officials in the court.

The emperor didn't know what everyone was thinking, but he knew very well what problems Dazhou was facing at this time and what it needed.

"I want to build something on Mount Li to attract phoenixes to live there."

Whether the phoenix bird can come to live in it is uncertain, but the emperor still has to try. Such a thing that does more harm than good makes people confused.

"Everyone, do you have anything to build?"

The scholar-bureaucrats gathered together and chatted one, two, or three times, and most of them used ancestral halls, King Wen's temples, etc. as buildings.

In this way, you will not waste money and people, but you can also have the luck of your ancestors and connect with the phoenix.

But the emperor refused to agree.

Father Guo Shi was in a trance and suddenly thought of it.

"Son of Heaven, if you build a beacon tower and the phoenix comes with fire, you should live in the fire."

"Beacon tower?" The emperor's eyes moved slightly.

Seeing the emperor's slight movement, Guo Shi's father hurriedly said:

"Son of the Emperor, the phoenixes sing in the mountains, and the beacon fire princes, if a blazing flame can be ignited on Mount Li, all the princes in the world can see it!"

"The princes responded and used the beacon fire as a signal. Phoenix saw that all the princes respected the emperor, how could they not fall because of the emperor's respect?"

What the emperor wants is for all princes to respect him, and the so-called phoenix bird is also a symbol of this.

He could also use this to test how much the princes in the world sincerely respected Zhou.

"Okay, let's build a beacon tower, wait for the divination day, and choose a day to offer sacrifices. At that time, when the princes see the beacon going up, they will all respond with heavy ceremonies at home, respect the Great Zhou Dynasty, and invite the phoenix bird to sit down."

One word makes the decision.

The surrounding princes who were not surnamed Ji all frowned. The emperor wanted to assign the blame for the phoenix bird not falling on the fenghao to the princes of the four places.

If at that time, the beacon fires go up but the phoenix bird does not fall, it means that some princes do not respect Zhou.

The emperor could use this order as a pretext to attack these princes at will.

Under such circumstances, the princes of various countries will definitely respect the emperor and will not dare to overstep his bounds.

The emperor is wise and cannot be deceived.

The scholar-bureaucrats all had this conclusion in mind.

But the general trend will not be reversed instantly because the emperor has made this decision. There will only be an undercurrent surging, competing with the loser.

Overt respect is not what the emperor wants.

But at this time, in the Great Zhou Dynasty, because the phoenix bird did not fall, the country and the people were already talking about it, but there was not much publicity.

If it weren't for Feng Yun and Lao Tzu, the path of these two near-sages was revealed. Everyone was waiting to see whether the two near-sages could break the silence of hundreds of years and achieve the holy path on their own. They were afraid that they would have died because the phoenix bird did not fall around.

Uproar.

…

As time passed, countless people came and went to see Lao Tzu and Feng Yun, but none of them opened the palace doors.

Until today.

The door of the Palace of Classics opened, and I rode out on a green bull, and left slowly. No one around could find the trace.

Look inside the Zhou Palace and see the Emperor's side hall.

The emperor was rescued by Lao Tzu before, which was to repay the debt of Yi Guan Dian Ji Gong Zhi Shu.

The emperor originally wanted me to find out the evil spirit and ask him to work hard to pass it on to the wizard Peng, but I didn't tell him.

I leave at this time, leaving only one sentence - go to the land of Dongyi to find the secrets of the mountains and seas. Fengzi can temporarily guard the history of the Palace of Classics.

"Do you understand Wu Peng?" The emperor was alone in the palace, but another voice came out.

"Your Majesty, this Wu Peng is rumored to be a great doctor during the time of the Yellow Emperor. He has the ability to administer immortal medicine and control the people's livelihood."

"Elixir?"

"Undead people?"

The emperor was confused, but he asked people to find Wu Peng's inheritance and the original secrets. He wanted to see for himself what kind of immortality medicine and immortal people needed his efforts.

But before that...

"Transmission of the order, Fengzi temporarily guards the history of the Classics Palace."

My departure was not widely publicized.

It is a well-known fact that the phoenix is ​​where Feng Yun is. As long as Feng Yun does not leave Feng Hao, the emperor's face will be preserved, and so will the face of Zhou Dynasty.

But autumn turns to winter, the New Year has passed, and Feng Yun remains as always, hiding in the palace of classics and never appearing.

This makes everyone in the world suspicious.

But in fact, there was nothing unusual about Feng Yun. Instead, he stayed in the Palace of Classics, reading the classics of the Zhou Dynasty, and compiling the "Book of Mountains and Seas" without leaving the house.

"Mr. Lao Dan said that when he was in the State of Lu, he heard that the land of Dongyi seemed to be connected with the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and seemed to be connected to the source of all things."

"Going here at this time is also to find this connection and the source of all things."

Feng Yun could not have imagined that Laozi would attach such great importance to the Classic of Mountains and Seas, but this was also Laozi's way. The way follows nature, and different paths lead to the same destination. The source of the unity is naturally driven and sought after.

However, it is not known whether there are really important things in Dongyi.

Feng Yun remembered that according to Lao Tzu's legend, after leaving Hangu Pass, he entered the Qin Dynasty and was missing and never heard from again.

Hangu Pass is located between Zongzhou and Chengzhou. At this time, it was called the Western Zhou Dynasty. However, Hangu Pass was not a pass into the west.

But it is the pass to the east.

"The years are chaotic, but the two-week change from east to west is also approaching. It is unknown when I will leave the border, but according to the importance I attach to the Classic of Mountains and Seas...perhaps, he went to the mountains and seas to find the way.

the source of.”

Everything is speculation. All Feng Yun can do at this time is to cultivate himself, integrate everything he gained earlier, return it to himself, and then look for something else.

But I heard: "Fengzi, all the officials have sent you New Year's gifts."

Manwa pulled the cart into the side hall and put down her things.

Feng Yun heard about it, looked at it and said: "It is not disrespectful to be polite if you reciprocate, but giving gifts to each other when you don't know each other is not polite, but a sign of friendship."

"No more."

"No." Manwa lowered his head, blaming himself a little.

But I thought about it again and thought: "Fengzi, do you know someone with whom you have friendship? Can you accept it?"

Feng Yun smiled.

"It is not a heavy gift, but it can be accepted. There is no fault or difficulty in ordinary interactions."

The man smiled and then collected the gifts and found a few.

"Fengzi, this is Qu Yuan of Chu State..."
