The sword flashed, and a Taoist flew backwards. In mid-air, his broken arm fell down, blood spurted from his mouth, and he screamed: "This is Pei Jiu's sword technique!"
The Taoist's beard was gray and he staggered back after landing. Looking at Yang Xuan's back, there was a look of horror in his eyes, "Yang Xuan, how dare you hide Pei Jiu's son!"
"Walk!"
Another Taoist retreated sharply and said, "This matter must be reported to Chang'an!"
"Block him!"
Several Taoists joined forces and the sword light flourished.
Two horned dragon guards rushed over from the side, and the old Taoist tried his best to stop them, "Let's go! Tell the temple owner that Pei's sword skills have returned to the world!"
Boom!
He was whipped away by an iron rod. After he landed, blood continued to flow from the corners of his mouth, and his throat surged several times. That memory emerged in his mind.
Under the imperial city, Pei Jiu stepped forward with a sword.
The light of the sword flashed past, and above the palace city, the emperor and his son squatted down in panic.
Then the sword hit the city wall and exploded.
Chang Sheng was on the palace city at that time, and he was not far away.
Witnessed that knife with my own eyes.
Just before, Pei Jian killed two people with the same sword and broke off his arm.
Pei Jiu...
That is the emperor's eternal nightmare!
After the palace coup, Emperor Wu was placed under house arrest in the palace. Li Yuan and his son were busy cleaning the court, but they didn't know that Emperor Wu secretly sent a handwritten letter to Northern Xinjiang. Then Pei Jiu rushed to Chang'an with his guards, thinking that the follow-up was from Northern Xinjiang.
Li Yuan and his son from Xinjiang Army were almost scared to death.
Afterwards, someone asked his friend in confusion after drinking, "Why didn't Emperor Wu order Pei Jiu to lead the army to serve the king?"
At that time, the Northern Xinjiang army was able to overwhelm the Northern Liao Dynasty. If Pei Jiu led the army to serve the king, the people of Chang'an would be undecided and they would not be able to defend it.
No one knows what Emperor Wu was thinking at that time.
She recalled Pei Jiu, who was loyal to her, with a handwritten letter.
The monarch and his ministers raised their glasses and drank the last glass of wine.
Immediately after Emperor Wu died, Pei Jiu committed suicide in front of the imperial city.
Before his death, Emperor Wu left a message and there was no need for any inscription to highlight his achievements.
Li Yuan pretended to be filial and said: "Mom, the stone tablet is ready, just waiting for the inscription!"
Emperor Wu shook his head and looked past him to the void.
"Then let's have a wordless monument!"
Later, some people said that Emperor Wu had thoroughly seen through Li Yuan and his son, and knew that if Pei Jiu was not recalled, the first thing Li Yuan would do after he ascended the throne would be to strangle Northern Xinjiang.
At that time, the angry Pei Jiu led his army southward, and the Tang Dynasty was over.
Some people say that Emperor Wu was affectionate for the Tang Dynasty, but had no mercy for Pei Jiu.
But the emperor's friendship lies with the country and millions of people. When the interests of one person conflict with those of the people of the world, the emperor should abandon that person without hesitation.
But Pei Jiu's tragedy made people all over the world deeply moved.
His children and grandchildren were reportedly missing, and some said they were hanged by the emperor.
For this reason, Jin Yiwei also arrested several market women who complained about this matter.
But what I didn't expect was that Pei Jiu's sword skills would appear in Northern Xinjiang today, right next to Yang Xuan.
Pei Jian strangled the remaining Taoists and was about to chase them.
"No need."
Yang Xuan stopped him, walked in, and saluted the statue, "It's a sin to commit murder in this place."
Pei Jian put away his sword and said: "My lord, if the news reaches Chang'an..."
"So what?"
Yang Xuan walked into the main hall and saw the statue covered with dust, and couldn't help but shake his head.
"The false emperor will use this to attack the Duke."
The false emperor was good at attacking public opinion, which was one of the reasons why the father and son were able to gain a firm foothold after the palace coup.
Yang Xuan picked up three sticks of incense on the desk, lit them, saluted, inserted them into the incense burner, and asked, "Do you trust the gods?"
Pei Jian nodded and shook his head, "I originally believed it and was quite pious."
"What happened next?"
"Later... on the way to escape, I was still convinced. Until
()The moment I learned the news that my father had committed suicide, I was so sad that I also wanted to ask the gods...".
Pei Jian looked at the statue and said, "I want to ask the gods. My father was unparalleled in his loyalty to the Tang Dynasty, to the emperor, to his colleagues, to his subordinates, to the people, to his friends... He had a clear conscience. Why would such a person be so loyal?
Did you end up like this?"
"Have the gods ever entrusted you with dreams?" Yang Xuan asked.
"We have never!" Pei Jian said with a hint of ridicule on his face, "My father has passed away, but the villain has become an emperor and enjoys all the glory and wealth. The lower official is thinking, this is the way of heaven that the gods want to show.
Is that right? Instead of focusing on morality and justice, we judge heroes based on their success or failure. From then on, I no longer believed in any gods."
"Actually, the so-called glory and wealth are not necessarily enjoyment. For example, the false emperor seemed to enjoy it, but he never had a peaceful life. He was always suspicious, even when facing his parents, wife and children. Later, he
He even strangled his eldest son to death with his own hands. Do you think this is enjoyment?"
Pei Jian was silent.
"I think this is punishment!" Yang Xuan said: "When I reach this stage and enjoy the wealth and honor I can enjoy, I realize that all of this is just a dream and will be destroyed at the touch of a button.
So, Pei Jian, let it go!"
From the moment he came to his side, Pei Jian was taciturn. He seldom interacted with his colleagues and kept to himself.
He is a talented general. If he doesn't do it well, he will become a handsome man.
Yang Xuan doesn't want to see the talent he values become a lunatic.
"The official is deeply upset."
"It's a good thing you didn't bother me."
"I don't dare."
"Why don't you dare? For example, old thieves lie all the time."
The old thief who came with his men after hearing the sound stopped outside, looking embarrassed.
"That old man often said with a serious face that he wanted to go on inspection, but once he went, he turned to the brothel. He often took his second son with him..."
Old thief: "..."
Yang Xuan turned around and saw him, and smiled and said: "Many times, you have to look at things in this world, and blessings and misfortunes depend on each other. It looks like disasters, but there are blessings hidden in front of you. It looks like flowers in front of you, but there is crisis hidden in the secret... Then
People will pay the price."
Pei Jian's eyes turned red, "Yes!"
Loyalty!
At this time, the two Qiu Long Guards came back to apologize.
"That man actually ran away."
"Run away." Yang Xuan said calmly: "Now I have Song Zhen and Luo Cai by my side, both of whom are thorns in Chang'an's side. So what if there is one more son of Pei Jiu?"
He patted Pei Jian on the shoulder and said, "From today on, you will return to your original name!"
Pei Jian knelt down and said, "Thank you sir!"
No one wants to remain anonymous, either because they have to or are forced to.
Pei Jiu stood up, and his whole person seemed to have been completely transformed.
The old thief asked: "How do you feel?"
"It's like a whole burden has been lifted off me!"
The Taoist flew away all the way, not daring to stop even if there were no pursuers behind him.
He escaped all the way to a house outside a city in Sangzhou.
"Open the door!"
Boom boom boom!
When the door opened, the door saw that it was the Taoist who came last time, so he asked, "Is the Taoist looking for Alang?"
"Quick, help me in!"
The Taoist rested at this moment, his whole body was relaxed, and he was sweating profusely. He looked as if he was weak, his face was pale, and he looked like a ghost.
A middle-aged man came out after hearing the news. He was shocked and asked, "Who did this?"
The Taoist stood firm and looked at Menzi, who quickly left.
As soon as he left, the Taoist gasped and said, "Send a message to Chang'an that Pei Jiu's son is beside Yang Xuan."
He collapsed.
"Pei Jiu has a son named Jian, and Yang Xuan has a general named Zhou Jian beside him. Zhou Jian and Pei Jian... what a thief!" The man's expression changed drastically, "Pei Jiu?"
That name was resounding throughout the Northland back then!
Haven't heard of it for a long time.
"Go quickly!" said
The person hissed ().
"Ready your horse!"
The middle-aged man carried dry food on his back and set off with three horses.
...
After the palace coup, Li Mi paid tribute to the construction of Yun Temple and wanted to build a mountain gate for Jianyun Temple in the city. Chang Sheng declined without hesitation.
There are mountains outside Chang'an City, which stretch like dragons dancing. The most famous one is called Yanshan Mountain.
During the previous dynasty, Yanshan was a holy land for practitioners. Many people traveled thousands of miles to Yanshan to find a cave or build a hut by themselves to seek truth.
Gradually, Yanshan became famous. The emperors of the previous dynasties invited the best among them to serve as officials, making Yanshan the number one mountain in the world...
"If we talk about the famous mountains in the world, some are majestic, beautiful, and majestic...but Yanshan is mediocre." Chang Sheng said with a smile: "Some are just fame and fortune."
Beside him is his junior brother Jian Yun.
Jian Yun looked much older than Chang Sheng, with skinny cheeks. "The shortcut to Yanshan has attracted many people seeking fame and fortune. However, many people in the outside world say that when the real person chose Yanshan as the location of the new mountain gate, he was just seeking fame."
Chang Sheng stroked his beard lightly. Under the winter sun, his slender hands looked particularly white, incomparable to the jade hands of women.
"After the palace incident, Your Majesty considered me as the chief contributor in building the Cloud Temple. Your Majesty planned to free up a space in the city and build a mountain gate for me to build the Cloud Temple. But I declined without hesitation. Until now, many people in the temple have built it.
People are still unhappy about it."
"There are many dignitaries, many believers, and many people in Chang'an City." Jian Yun said, "After all, cultivation costs a lot of money!"
"Your Majesty gave you a huge amount of land in the beginning, and collected countless grains every year. This is also the basis for our rapid expansion of Jianyun Temple. Since there is no shortage of money and grain, why stay in the city? These are the icing on the cake for powerful believers. You
You must know that people are ***!"
Jian Yun was startled: "What the real person said..."
Chang Sheng said: "People have been asking for food and drink, fame and wealth, and desires since they were born... When they are thirsty, they are impatient and anxious. After they ask for it, they feel disappointed, but that's it. Therefore, the easier it is to get it,
Things are looked down upon more and more. Junior brother, do you still remember those days?"
"Of course I remember." Jian Yun exclaimed, "Back then our Jianyun Temple was unknown, and every year the monks gathered in Chang'an, the real person took us there... We went there respectfully, but we were treated coldly."
"Still not satisfied?" Chang Sheng asked.
"Yes, I still feel upset every time I think about it." Jian Yun rubbed his belly.
"I was quite depressed at first, but later I figured it out." Chang Sheng smiled and said: "When you are not strong enough, your kindness will be regarded as flattery. This is something that is easy to get."
Jian Yun was startled, "What the real person said is so enlightening!"
"Therefore, I declined Your Majesty's reward of building a mountain gate in the city, and took you and others to Yanshan. How have the believers been doing since arriving in Yanshan?"
"More and more."
"Human beings are born with great fears, fear of birth, old age, illness and death, fear of poverty, and fear of being unknown. As time goes by, we have to seek relief and sustenance, and convenience comes from luck. If Jianyun Temple was built in a busy city, not many people would care about it.
Let's take it seriously. But when we go to Yanshan, far away from Chang'an, let's take a look..."
Jianyun Temple is located at the top of Yanshan Mountain, and Chang Sheng and his two men were standing on the mountain bank outside the mountain gate.
On the mountain road, more than ten pilgrims were walking slowly.
"The most unforgettable thing is to ask for something and not get it."
"What the real person means is that people cannot be liberated easily."
"In the past, ascetics from outside the country went to the Western Regions to obtain scriptures. When they returned, the Central Plains was shaken. Many years later, people are still talking about it. Junior brother, if those scriptures were within reach, there would still be people doing it.
Are you shocked?" "I understand, coming to Yanshan is not a bad thing."
Jian Yun said with admiration: "The real person strategized and made my Jianyun Temple prosperous..."
"I have said so many things, but in fact they are not the lifeblood of my Jianyunguan."
Jian Yun was stunned.
This is the foundation of Jianyun Temple!
() "Master, now our Jianyun Temple is home to countless fertile fields and has a large population. It has many disciples and is the number one outside of Chang'an. Why is it not important?"
"Junior brother, look!"
Chang Sheng points his finger into the distance.
Standing on the top of Yanshan Mountain, when the weather is good, you can have a panoramic view of the entire Chang'an City.
The weather is good today.
The chessboard-like Chang'an City came into view. Even after seeing it countless times, Jian Yun still praised: "What a Chang'an City."
"What you see is Chang'an City, but what I see is Fengyun!"
Chang Sheng said: "With the rise of the Shegu people in the far north, coupled with the flanking attacks from Northern Xinjiang, the good days of Northern Liao are numbered. Once Northern Liao is destroyed, where will the powerful Northern Xinjiang army go? Many fools in the court are instigating Your Majesty.
Use troops against Northern Xinjiang..."
"Your Majesty shouldn't be able to do that!"
"He is getting old." Chang Sheng sneered: "You haven't noticed that in recent years, he seems to have unparalleled power, but the Tang Dynasty is still gradually losing control. Once Chang'an opens his mouth to bite Beijiang, Yang Xuan will definitely bite back.
Immediately the army will move south... Junior brother, the storm is about to change."
Jian Yun was shocked when he heard this, "Is there going to be chaos?"
"Yes, there is going to be a big chaos. Once there is a chaos, where will our Jianyunguan go?" Chang Sheng looked at Chang'an City with his hands behind his hands, "Yang Songcheng and others are secretly rivals of our Jianyunguan, so the King of Yue cannot be used by me. But I think
After a long time, the one who finally takes the throne can still only be the King of Yue. When the King of Yue takes the throne, our Jianyun Temple is at a critical moment. Therefore, we have to take action!" "What do you mean, the real person, let's fight with Yang Songcheng and the others?"
"No!" Chang Sheng said: "Do you know why I advocated moving the mountain gate to Yanshan? Not to get what you asked for, not to whet the appetite of the believers. Look at Chang'an City."
He pointed at Chang'an City and said: "Looking at the grandeur, Yang Songcheng and others have deep-rooted influence in the city. Your Majesty has the guards of Chang'an in his hands... If they choose to take action, we, Jianyunguan, will be doomed. Therefore, only by breaking the cage can we gain great power."
comfortable!"
"Master, it's impossible for them to attack my Jianyun Temple, right?"
"When the storm changes, we can't control it, nor can they control it!"
"We are just outside, just sit back and watch the world." Jian Yun said, "It has been like this for many years."
Jian Yun smiled and said, "What are you really worried about?", his smile gradually stiffened.
There seemed to be two flames burning in Chang Sheng's eyes.
He slowly reached out and grabbed it in the direction of Chang'an City. From this angle, this grasp seemed to hold the entire Chang'an City in his hands.
"How about changing this world's surname?"
