At dawn the next day, Huwa thought that the young minister was about to return to Batu. Unexpectedly, the Bajun held a banquet early in the morning. Drinking at dawn? This habit has never been seen in Cuba!
Wine is a sacrificial object to the gods. It is usually given by the king after the sacrifice. Nobles may also brew some wine privately, and drink it in their own homes on weekdays without anyone taking care of it. However, it is not suitable for public banquets. The king sometimes holds banquets.
When we have a drink, we always find an excuse to worship heaven and God, and then let others drink the wine.
Ba Jun held a banquet yesterday, and before bringing the wine, the ceremony officer also performed a simple ceremony to worship the heaven and the gods, thanking God and ancestors for their protection, so that they could successfully split Wuyun Mountain, and then everyone started drinking.
Bayuan has been flooded for so many years, and the people are living a very hard life. They can only make ends meet. They set an example by setting an example, often not eating meat for several months. It is the first time in my life that I drink like this.
The attendants and officials who accompanied him all knew that what the king was doing seemed wrong, but no one dared to say anything. The ceremony officer had already taken it upon himself to hold a brief ceremony to worship the heaven and the gods, and then brought the wine. Xuanyuan was not interested.
He came to drink early in the morning, and only Huwa and Panhu were with him. As for the attendants, they were sent far away out of sight.
The young master drank too much yesterday, and he was still not fully awake this early in the morning. He kept raising glasses, either to his junior brother, to his ancestors, or to the gods in the sky, with the fragrant and thinly sliced roasted meat.
He drank a lot. Huwa and Panhu also understood Shaowu's mood, so they didn't try to dissuade him. They just drank with him anyway.
While drinking, Shaowu actually cried. He grabbed Huwa's hand and started talking nonstop, even as if he was talking nonsense: "Junior brother, you watched me grow up!"
Where do you start talking about this? Shaowu is older than Huwa. When Huwa first met him on Wufu Hill, Shaowu was already in his twenties. If Huwa grew up watching Panhu,
It makes sense, but when did he watch the young minister grow up? The young minister, who was obviously drunk, still thought of himself and said
"It was you who sent me to the main peak of Wufu Qiu to worship Master Jiansha as my teacher. It was you who sent me back to Bashi Kingdom from Wufu Qiu so that I could become Ba Jun. When my father handed me the throne,
, I hope that I can imitate the achievements of my ancestor Yan Zhao, unify Ba Yuan again, and restore the former Ba country.
After several national wars, I did it. I suppressed internal and external troubles. I was very high-spirited and thought that my achievements were not inferior to those of my ancestors. But the flood came suddenly. Ba Yuan had never suffered such a disaster since ancient times, and it actually appeared in my hands! Even the city of Batu appeared in my hands.
I was also trapped by the flood, thousands of people were displaced, and the mountains and rivers were broken. Why did it happen to me?
Sleepless at night, I often ask myself, what have I failed to do in politics and morality? I am so damned by God! Is it because the brothers killed each other? Or was it an internal rebellion within the clan? Or is there something unspeakable that I am ashamed of? Thinking about it carefully, it seems that it is.
Quite a few, but in order to give all people hope, I have to cheer up. In fact, I also want to stay drunk in my heart.
Today, I am finally relieved. After the flood receded, I can already see the future of Bayuan. There will be a new life after the disaster. From the ancestors' salt sign to the present, no one has imagined such a feat. This is a legacy that will be left to future generations. Everything.
The suffering is all worth it. I have no regrets holding the national weapon so far, but I don’t know what will happen to my successors..."
No wonder the young minister wanted to drive all the attendants away, because he didn't want them to see their master lose his temper and start laughing again after wiping away his tears. Ba Jun was very drunk that day and did not deal with any affairs. He waited until the second day
That morning, when I saw the young minister again, he had already sobered up from the wine. Surrounded by his personal guards, his dignity could not be higher.
Shao Wu said goodbye to Huwa and Panhu and led the crowd back to Batu. This time they took the land route. In many places, the floods had just receded and the roads were still full of mud, making it extremely difficult for carriages and horses to walk. But Shao Wu insisted on walking back to Batu like this.
All.
Watching the men and horses go away, Panhu said to Huwa: "Senior Brother Shaowu drank too much yesterday. He has had a really hard time these years. He thinks so much even if he has nothing to do. If we say that he has lost his ethics or lost his political power,
, I really can’t find anything wrong, otherwise there would be few good people in the capital of the world!
By brothers killing each other, is he talking about the deaths of Gu Liang, Huiliang, and Zhong Lan? Those guys deserved to be killed, so they should be killed! The insurgency in Ba was indeed a disaster for the clan, but it ended with Shao
He has done a good enough job and there is no need to blame himself or even become suspicious..."
Huwa sighed: "If people want to find reasons for what they have done, they will always have various excuses, and Senior Brother Shaowu no longer needs to explain to anyone. So he does not want anyone to explain what he has done.
For the things that have been done, people are waiting for praise or praise from others. Facing years of disasters, the people of Ba Yuan are terrified. As a Ba Jun, he is both frightened and helpless. Of course, he will inevitably think too much.
When he has lived to this stage, all he wants to do is give himself an explanation. Is everything he has done in his life really blameless? Should some things have been like that at the time? It is impossible for Senior Brother Shaowu to know all his experiences.
Not from the first day, but now Ba Jun. There are some things that he really thinks too much about, but there are also some things, such as the fate of Qingyan... Forget it, let's not mention these.
Fortunately, after the flood receded today, he finally felt relieved that the wine he drank was not in vain! In fact, Senior Brother Shaowu is not young now. Ba Jun, who has made contributions to the ages, has no regrets. It only depends on what his future generations will do.
Already."
Panhu: "Senior Brother Shaowu is already over sixty, and he will be seventy in a few years. Fortunately, he has cultivated a lot, and has started to practice the Jinghua Jue, and he has not stopped taking the elixir of immortality.
Being young and strong, there is no problem in living a long life. Senior Brother Hanxiong's situation is similar, but it's a pity that I didn't see him this time. I will go to Batu to have a drink with him later."
Huwa: "In recent years, whenever the Young Master is away from Batu, Young Master Shaolin supervises the country and Hanxiong assists in government affairs, so Senior Brother Hanxiong cannot leave."
Shaolin is Hanxiong's nephew, the grandson of Mr. Changling, and the eldest son of Shaowu. His mother is Hanxiong's sister, who died of illness a few years ago. Hanxiong is now in a high position, and his official position can no longer be bigger.
Over the years, I have put all my energy into cultivating my nephew, and everyone can understand what he is thinking.
Shaowu has more than one son, and Shaolin's mother is no longer here. Without strong support from his relatives, it will be difficult for Shaolin to secure his position as Bajun in the future.
When the Shaowu went out in recent years, he simply named the young master Shaolin to supervise the country, and appointed Hanxiong to assist in the government. This sent a clear signal to Hanxiong and Shaolin, and at the same time, it also stabilized the officials and the people of the court.
If something unexpected happens to Shaowu, Shaolin can directly succeed to the throne in Batu.
From an outsider's point of view, it can be seen clearly that Shaowu is observing, training and testing the successor. If Shaolin can become a qualified Bajun, then the Zen throne will be a matter of course in the future. But if Shaolin fails,
There will be trouble in the future. If the chosen successor is not Shaolin, how will Shaowu handle the relationship between the new king and Hanxiong?
In fact, it is difficult to say whether the heir will be successful or not. The most troublesome problem or the biggest regret of Shaowu is that it is difficult to find a son who can compare with himself. At this point, his father, Hou Lin, is more gratified than him.
Much more, Shaowu could surpass his father's descendants and even his ancestor Yan Zhao, but it would be difficult for Shaowu's son to surpass him.
Back then, Hanxiong expressed his intention to let Shaolin worship Huwa as his teacher, but his intention was not to let Shaolin follow Huwa to practice, but to set this title to consolidate his status. In fact, even if he has less work, he will not be able to do it.
He will choose another successor, but if he lives a long life and does not take the initiative to take the Zen position, how many years can Shaolin wait with peace of mind?
With Shaowu's intelligence, how could he not see through this? After the overall situation of Ba Yuan's flood control was decided, and he was quite satisfied with Shaolin's performance, he would have to take the Zen throne in a few years, otherwise there would be hidden dangers in the country. However,
Being able to see clearly and actually making a decision are two different things, and this kind of thing cannot be decided by others.
Except for Dajun who died young, the five brothers who were sworn brothers at the time had different life trajectories. What they did wholeheartedly represents the highest achievement that each of them can achieve in this life.
Panhu asked again: "Senior Brother Shaowu, sometimes it is inevitable that he thinks too much. Because of what he has done in his life, it is inevitable that he will feel ashamed and uncomfortable. What about you, Senior Brother?"
Huwa closed his eyes for a long time and then replied: "I can't, because I haven't. This doesn't mean that I haven't made any mistakes... What about you, junior brother?"
So what exactly is there? Huwa didn't say it clearly, but Panhu could understand it. Panhu heard the words and said: "I have to think about it, I really haven't thought about it like him... Let's go back to Shanshui Country and think about it again.
, Senior brother, if you have anything interesting to do, don’t forget to call me.”
Panhu flew into the sky. Xuanyuan's figure appeared next to Huwa, holding his arm and saying: "I have broken through the nine realms of cultivation, and now I can travel with my husband. I also want to ask you to give me some guidance on my cultivation."
Woolen cloth."
Huwa smiled and said: "You are my practice. I haven't finished what I said the day before yesterday. Wherever I have set foot, apart from the fairy world, what place do you most want to visit?"
Xuanyuan replied: "Mountain and River Picture."
Huwa mused: "You can't go now, but I can think of a way to take you to travel one day in the future."
The portal of the Mountains and Rivers Map has been completely closed, creating a world of its own isolated from people. Now, except for Huwa, Zhenyuan, and Jiutian Xuannv, no one can enter that place anymore. Even if Huwa wants to go, he must ascend first
Boundless, mysterious and vast, you can then reach the "lower realm" to the world of mountains and rivers.
Xuanyuan: "Are you saying that after I become a true immortal, I will continue to improve my cultivation, and then I will hand over to you an artifact that bears the mark of a true immortal, and you will take it into the world of Mountains and Rivers, and then I can enter there?
?...I don’t know how many years and months I have to wait. Even if I can become a true immortal, I don’t know if I can achieve that level!"
From the current point of view, this is indeed the only way to enter the world of Shanhe Tu, but the requirements are too high. But Huwa smiled and said: "One day, you will also become a true immortal. The immortal family has no time, no need to say what year it is.
Yue. In fact, the world of Mountains and Rivers back then could be entered as long as one had the realm of transformation. Since the door can be closed, there is also a way to open it again."
Xuanyuan: "Do you have a way to open the door to the Mountains and Rivers Map?"
Huwa: "I don't have this level of cultivation now. Even if I do, it still depends on what Emperor Taihao thinks... Let alone the world of Mountains and Rivers, where do you want to go now?"
Xuanyuan: "I also want to witness Boyu's achievements in flood control. The situation in the East China Sea and Bayuan is known, so let's go to Yunmeng Juze downstream."
Huwa: "Going to Yunmeng Juze? Ba Yuan has a shortcut, and he will take you to see it too!"
Xuanyuan: "I've heard that that road is the space portal left by Emperor Taihao in the human world."
The two wanted to go to Yunmeng Juze, but instead of flying to the east, they came to the Black and White Hills not far to the north. The Black and White Hills were once surrounded by floods and became an isolated island in the East China Sea. Now the floods have receded and they stand on the shore again.
, they entered the Xianjia Cave Mansion built by the ancient Kui Long.
This place cannot be called a small world, and is only a few miles in size. The cave is divided into a front yard and a back garden. The front yard is a ruins, and the back garden is a place of death and silence, where the ancient Kui dragon met its fate.
But after Kui Long died, Emperor Taihao came again, leaving a space portal leading directly to Yunmeng Juze.
Last time Huwa passed through this portal as an incarnation of the Yang God of the Immortal Family with no cultivation, and relied on the escape talisman refined by Mr. Cangjie to protect himself. Now that he is the immortal body, he does not need to use the talisman.
Not even Xuanyuan was needed. After the two passed through the space portal, they appeared in a large cave.
This is an island in Yunmeng Juze. There is a mountain on the island. This mountain was once named Wuluo Zhongli Mountain. This cave is halfway up the mountain. You can see the vast water surface of Yunmeng Juze. I think Huwa also used to go there.
After rescuing Wu Hui here on the battlefield, Xuanyuan exclaimed with confusion: "What a brilliant method! Huwa, can you build such a space portal now?"
Huwa shook his head and said: "The magical power is still insufficient. In fact, even if the magical power is sufficient, the level of cultivation seems to be a little behind. Don't look at it like it is just a simple space portal. It consumes a lot of hard work and fairy mana.
Amazing! The same amount of effort is more than enough to carve out a road in Wuyun Mountain."
Xuanyuan: "Then why did Emperor Taihao build such a space portal? It seems to be of no use at all!"
This space portal requires a Nine Realm Immortal cultivation level in order to pass through it safely. Otherwise, it will need to be protected by the secret treasures of the Immortal Family such as the Sky Talisman. If you have a Nine Realm Immortal cultivation level, you can reach Yunmeng from Black and White Qiu.
Why should Juze bother with this? Consuming a secret treasure from the Immortal family like the Sky Talisman is simply not something that ordinary people can imagine.
In Taihao's time, this area was completely ancient wilderness. In fact, there was no need for roads at all. No one would migrate long distances through the Wuyun Mountains. By the end of the Yan Emperor Dynasty in later generations, there were people who traveled to Bayuan, namely Yan Zhaohe
Wu Fu led a tribe to Wuluo Zhongli Mountain first, perhaps because of the legends left by his ancestors.
However, they could not reach Bayuan through this space portal. Instead, they crossed the Yunmeng Juze and crossed the Wuyun Mountains. Therefore, Xuanyuan felt very puzzled. Taihao had inexplicably created such a space passage, which cost an astonishing amount of money.
What is the use of hard work and immortal mana?
Huwa put her arms around Xuanyuan's waist and looked at Yunmeng Juze outside the mountain and said: "We cannot use today's knowledge to measure what the ancients encountered. This space portal is a road opened by our ancestors. Taihao was
Maybe he doesn't know where it leads. He is the first emperor of heaven since ancient times. He is groping forward alone. Of course, he will try various means to confirm his practice.
This space portal may not be used for anything, or in Taihao's view at the time, what is useful? It is based on Taihao's attempts to explore and move forward, confirming various immortal methods, and then gaining enlightenment.
.For Taihao, this is its use, and it is also the relics of our predecessors that we can see. In the Northern Wasteland of Bayuan, Taihao also left behind relics."
Xuanyuan nodded and said: "If Emperor Shaohao hadn't left Chiwangqiu to pass on the lineage, I wouldn't have been able to practice in the first place. If it hadn't been for you later, I would still feel at a loss today." (~^~)
