Chapter seven hundred and fiftieth chapters are full of old friends
How a young man grows old, how a young man grows young.
The sloppy man, Yao Xianzhi. The woman with the sword, Yao Lingzhi.
When we met for the first time, one was still an energetic young man with a bright smile, and the other was still a heroic girl with a sharp edge.
Yao Xianzhi seemed a little shy, his lips moved slightly, and he couldn't say the right words. He didn't want to say polite words. He wanted to say too much in his heart, but he didn't know where to start. In the end, he was so silent.
Yao Lingzhi, the daughter of Jiuniang of Hu'er Town Inn, she is still quite forthright, it seems that even after so many years of hard work, she has not been able to polish off the edges of her character. She looked at the man openly, nodded and smiled: "Mr. Chen, it has indeed been a long time.
not see."
Chen Pingan asked: "Can you take me to see General Yao?"
Yao Xianzhi nodded.
Yao Lingzhi noticed something strange around the Yao Mansion, as if Chen Ping'an's arrival had caused a lot of commotion. It was normal. Today's Yao Mansion is no longer the Shangshu Mansion of the past. His Majesty the Emperor is no longer in the mirage.
City, someone breaks into this place without permission,
Chen Ping'an apologized: "I came here in a hurry. I guess I need your help to explain. Just say that someone is visiting the Yao Mansion so that Mirage City doesn't need to be nervous. As for who I am, there is no need to say it."
Without any hesitation, Yao Lingzhi went to handle the matter personally and asked his younger brother Yao Xianzhi to lead Chen Ping'an to visit their grandfather.
Yao Xianzhi walked with a limp and had an empty sleeve. The man tried to cover it up, but it was in vain.
Chen Pingan smiled and asked: "I seemed to be quarreling with your sister just now? What was the quarrel about?"
Yao Xianzhi said softly: "The older my sister gets, the more nagging she becomes. She always wants me to find a daughter-in-law. She works as a matchmaker all day long and talks about it. She is addicted. Let those women be embarrassed. What kind of virtue am I now? It's not like she is not good at it.
I know, even if a woman really nods her head and agrees to this marriage, I'm not stupid for what she wants. It can't be because I'm young, promising, and good-looking, right? Mr. Chen, do you think this is the truth? "
Chen Pingan nodded and said: "It's all human nature. It's normal to persuade, and it's normal to be annoyed. Unless one day you meet the girl you like and marry her. Before that, you kid, just be annoying.
Unsolvable."
Yao Xianzhi smiled and said, "Mr. Chen, I look much older than you now."
Chen Pingan lightly slapped Yao Xianzhi on the head, "In addition to looking older, he is also famous and has a bad temper. He could even fight with the Immortal Master of Bailongdong Genealogy in a busy city."
Yao Xianzhi laughed after being slapped. He could laugh without drinking, which is a very rare thing for today's "Prince Yao".
In a secluded courtyard, two painted door gods as tall as a person were posted on the door. At that moment, a golden figure appeared, guarding the door.
This is not an ordinary landscape "showing the saints". The two golden door gods in front of you are responsible for the civil and military fortunes of Daquan. They can probably be regarded as the emperor's fake public charity. However, this move is reasonable and reasonable. Because it helps the door gods "paint gold"
"The person who is the imperial eunuch of a country is holding the standard handwriting given by the emperor himself. Every stroke is within the rules. As for the person who "finishes" the two door gods, Chen Pingan knows at a glance that he is a certain academy master.
The long autograph belongs to the guidance of a Confucian sage. It is obvious that Confucians admire Daquan Yao from the Confucian Temple to Yizhou Academy with admiration.
From then on, the two door gods who manifested on the courtyard gate avenue will be involved in the national destiny of Daquan and enjoy the incense of the human world for hundreds of thousands of years. They are the most common gold-painting and gilding on the Shinto road.
Chen Ping'an had actually noticed something unusual about this place before, and could conclude that the old general Yao Zhen was training here. The reason why he did not land directly here was because he was too reckless and worried that his sword energy and boxing intention had not yet completely restrained.
If you are too "qiy", you will violate the rules of the mountains and rivers, and accidentally conflict with the old general's numerology. Furthermore, Chen Ping'an also wants to calm down his own mood with his siblings.
The two door gods looked intently at the man in green shirt, then almost simultaneously clasped their fists and saluted, with respectful expressions, and took the initiative to make way for Chen Pingan.
Yao Xianzhi was stunned for a moment. He originally thought that he would have to explain a few more words before Mr. Chen could pass the access control here.
Chen Pingan clasped his fists in return and followed Yao Xianzhi into a room. There was an Xianjia incense burner placed on the table inside, with purple air rising and a pleasant fragrance.
An old man with snow-white beard and hair was lying on the hospital bed, breathing extremely slowly.
Yao Xianzhi moved extremely gently and helped Chen Pingan move a chair beside the bed, while he himself sat far away.
Before Chen Ping'an sat down, he took out several golden talismans from his sleeves and posted them on the door and windows one by one. They were several high-grade talismans recorded in the "Authentic Alchemy Book". One of them was called "The Ferry Talisman", which could
It stabilizes the mind and soul and reduces the impact of the passage of time. However, this kind of talisman consumes a lot of talisman paper. The key to refining this talisman consumes the monk's mind and spirit. In fact, it is far more than drawing the attack talisman. In addition to the ferry talisman,
There is also a nearly lost "cow and horse resting talisman" posted on the door. It cannot stop the oxen and horses from visiting the door, but it can allow ghosts and ghosts to see the talisman from a distance and rest for a while. As a mysterious and mysterious ancient salute,
This kind of landscape rules are destined not to be recorded in the fairy books secretly hidden under the sect's prefix.
Yin and Yang have different paths, and each takes his own path. This is the same principle as that where birds have their own paths, and mice have their own paths. If a cultivator has not opened his heavenly eyes, or has never reached the upper five realms, it will not be surprising to meet the Lord of the City, the Earth God. Monk
Going down the mountain is like a god descending to the earth to inquire about the land. It is even an unwritten rule in the officialdom of the mountains and rivers. However, it is extremely difficult to meet those underworld officials who are completely different from the gods who travel day and night. It is almost as rare as encountering a ghost creature for an ordinary master.
, and once they meet by chance, Qi practitioners will not regard it as a good thing.
According to the obscure records of the summer palace, people, regardless of whether they are practicing Taoism or not, and the ghosts of Fengdu walk on both sides of a long river of time. Both sides have their own paths of heaven and earth, and the water in the well does not interfere with the river. Therefore, Chen Ping'an traveled a lot, except for
Thanks to Zhong Kui, he gained more knowledge outside the Mihe Temple. Besides, he never saw any Fengdu ghosts again. Moreover, that unruly encounter was only possible because Chen Ping'an was used to the stagnant relationship of time.
I was able to see the rare true appearance of the official in Fengdu. Otherwise, even if the two parties were close at hand, they would still pass by each other.
After years of traveling, either drawing talismans or giving them away, Chen Pingan has used up all the golden talisman papers in his collection. These rare talisman papers used to draw talismans were temporarily borrowed from Cui Dongshan on the Yunzhou ferry.
Drawing the time crossing talisman will weaken the monk's mind. Drawing the ox and horse temporary talisman will damage the moral character.
These taboos are actually clearly stated in the "Authentic Book of Alchemy". Li Xisheng also specially noted four words next to the cow and horse talisman: Use this talisman with caution.
Yao Xianzhi sat on the chair and just watched Mr. Chen put up the golden talismans one by one. Although he was full of curiosity, he did not ask.
Despite being curious, the man felt a little reassured for no reason.
It seems that Mr. Chen is finally here, so he, the king of Daquan County who has been reduced to useless, can be lazy even if he is working hard on anything, not to mention what he is doing. Anyway, Mr. Chen has to work hard for everything.
go.
In the past, the young San Yao of Daquan Border Gate was the young swordsman whom Yao Xianzhi admired the most. He actually wanted to learn martial arts from Mr. Chen, who was unparalleled in boxing. Unfortunately, he failed. At that time,
I feel that there will be many opportunities in the future, so don't be anxious for a while. Even if the years on the mountain have little to do with the cold and heat of the human world, then if you don't see each other for three to five years, you can always meet again in ten years. I never thought that two decades would pass in the blink of an eye, and today's Yao Xianzhi,
I don’t even have the slightest thought to practice boxing or martial arts.
Yao Xianzhi is not a Qi practitioner, but he can see that those golden talismans are priceless.
The immortal masters worshiped by the Daquan court, every time they served the country and used talisman paper made of this kind of material, their faces looked as if they were in pain from cutting flesh, so that the court would know how much they devoted their money.
After posting the talisman, Chen Ping'an quietly walked to the table, stretched out his palm towards the incense burner, flicked it gently, sniffed the fragrance, and nodded. It was indeed the work of an expert, and the weight was just right.
After doing this, Chen Ping'an sat on the chair near the hospital bed.
Several talismans other than the ferry talisman and the cow and horse talisman are relatively common. They are used to help General Yao gather his energy at ease and slightly slow down the process of mental fatigue and skin decay. For example, a nectar connecting talisman is made of wisps of nectar.
The luck of the land, water, and air quietly moisturizes the old man's body, and it can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. For today's old people, even if they are immortals like Cui Dongshan, any mysterious magic and magical powers are a big fight that outweighs the gain.
Yao Xianzhi left no doubts from beginning to end.
I believe it will be the same even if His Majesty the Emperor is here.
The Yao family rarely trusts an outsider so much, before and even more so now, and Chen Pingan is the only exception.
The man just looked at Mr. Chen who "came a little late" quietly.
Although no one has heard the reason why grandpa is struggling now, the younger generation San Yao, His Majesty the Emperor Yao Jinzhi, the martial arts masters Yao Lingzhi and Yao Xianzhi all know the reason.
Grandpa hoped that he could see his young benefactor again in his lifetime.
Besides, Grandpa actually has nothing difficult to let go of.
Daquan Guozuo has been preserved, and even a mirage city is intact. With heavy snowfall every winter, the capital still looks like a glazed fairyland.
A huge mountain and river, Tongye Island with fluttering catkins in the wind, such a lucky thing, Daquan is the only one who shares it.
After Chen Ping'an sat down, he gently rubbed the palms of his hands together, then stretched out his hand and gently held one of the old man's dry palms.
Rub your hands together to warm them up a bit. A martial artist can actually control the temperature of his hands with subtle movements without such unnecessary movements.
It's just that this was a subconscious action by Chen Ping'an.
After a while.
The old man moved his eyelids, but did not open them. He said hoarsely: "It's here, is it true? It's not that girl from Chikino who deliberately fooled me, right? Who are you?"
"It's me, Chen Pingan."
Chen Pingan leaned forward, grabbed Old General Yao's hand with both hands, bent down and whispered softly: "After so many years, I will still think about the time when I walked with Grandpa Yao by the Burial River, and when I occasionally did that
An old farmer who made a living by fishing corpses, the old man said that his son fished for people who shouldn't be fished, so within a few days, his son disappeared very quickly. The old man finally said, "Those who should have been stopped". I have been
I can’t figure out whether the old man feels less sad when he talks about this matter to outsiders like us because so much time has passed, or whether there are some other reasons that persuaded the old man so that he doesn’t feel so sad. Or is it because ordinary people are living their lives?
, some heartbreaking sad things fall into the potholes of the world. When people fall, they have to get up and keep moving forward. When sad things fall, they can’t get up. Even if people get through it, it is over.
Already."
According to the custom in Chen Ping'an's hometown town, there is no need to be taboo about life and death when talking to an elderly person who is healthy and healthy.
The old man murmured: "Sure enough, it's Xiao Ping'an who's here. If it wasn't you, you wouldn't be able to tell these old things. If it wasn't you, you wouldn't think about these things."
Chen Pingan said softly: "It's easy for Grandpa Yao to wait, but I can get here, and to be honest, it's not very easy. Some things come, and they won't wait for me to be ready. It seems that they won't be discussed without discussion."
The violence rushed in front of your eyes, and you could only endure it.
At the same time, there are some things that have to go, but they can't be stopped no matter how hard they are. They can only let people endure it, and they can't say anything good to them. If I don't say that I feel aggrieved, it's pretentious to talk too much, so I want to find an elder to complain.
A few words of bitterness, but I will come from Jinhuang Mansion to see Grandpa Yao. I must listen to a few more words. Back then, I was only thinking about rushing and walked in a hurry. This time, I don’t have to rush home."
The old man tried his best to open his eyes, but his vision was blurred. He could vaguely see a man who was no longer a boy. He still had the hosta on his head. After coughing a few times, the old man's face turned brighter. "Yes, the real Buddha only speaks ordinary words.
It’s still the Chen Ping’an I know, but he’s grown up a lot. When he was young, he suffered a lot. He either yelled loudly, wishing that everyone in the world could hear it, or he kept everything he liked in his stomach, always feeling that he was no longer the same person.
In a few days, or in a few years, it won’t be a big deal. In fact, where can such good things come from? Now you know that life in this world is unsatisfactory, right?”
Chen Pingan nodded.
The old man raised his hand and patted the back of the young man's hand gently, "The Yao family has some difficulties now. It's not about the quality of the world, but the truth that makes it more difficult. Mine, and those close to me, are all knots in my heart.
.It doesn’t matter whether you come or not, whether you are able to solve the problem now. For example, it is possible to change the road and make Yao Zhen, the already old and immortal guy, become even more immortal and become a landscape god or something.
, just can’t do it. Xiaopingan?”
Chen Pingan nodded and said, "I understand."
Daquan can support Zheng Su, the tiger king of Jinhuang Mansion, and Liu Yourong, the water god of Pine Needle Lake. Zheng Su's deity is second only to Daquan and the Five Mountains. Liu Yourong is also the second-class river god, and his deity is second only to the river god buried in Biyou Palace. This is
It is said that when one person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.
And this person is, of course, Yao Jinzhi, Empress Daquan.
So it would not be difficult for General Yao, whose meritorious deeds are enough to convince the public and win the hearts of the people, to become the King of the Five Mountains of the Daquan Yao family, let alone the City God of the capital.
It's just that in this vast world, there are only a handful of women who can become emperors, and their reigns often don't last long.
In troubled times, whoever sits on the dragon throne and wears dragon robes is responsible, and being able to sit firmly on the dragon throne is even more important. But when the peace and prosperity come, how can it be smooth for a woman to become emperor and ascend the throne?
Apart from the fact that the last emperor of Daquan Liu lost people's hearts, in fact, after the founding of Daquan for more than two hundred years, the other emperors were all considered wise emperors, and almost none of them were faint emperors. This means that whether in temples and mountains, or in the rivers, lakes, and among the people, the Liu family
It is still Daquan’s national surname.
Therefore, the choice of General Yao, whether to become a mountain and water god who is in charge of one side, is actually a choice in the old man's heart, whether to change the surname of Daquan from "Liu" to "Yao". Obviously, the old man hopes in his heart to return Daquan to the Liu family.
.In this matter, it is very likely that the old general Yao Zhen and his granddaughter, the current emperor Yao Jinzhi, will have some kind of disagreement. It can even be said that the old general’s thoughts will conflict with the entire Yao family, especially the youngest.
The expectations of a lifetime of children have gone against the grain.
Yao Xianzhi didn't know whether he should be happy or sad.
Grandpa was very energetic today, surprisingly good. He was energetic and energetic, and he talked a lot more than he had in the past six months combined.
Chen Pingan suddenly turned to Yao Xianzhi and said, "Go and call your sister over. Both sisters will come."
There was a bitter look on Yao Xianzhi's face, "His Majesty the Emperor is not in Mirage City now. He has gone to the old residence of the Yao family at the southern border."
Chen Pingan was stunned on the spot.
With Chen Ping'an's help, the old man slowly sat up and smiled a little, joking: "I didn't discuss it with you, right? This is life."
Just sitting up made the old general look tired. He could only move his fingers slightly, as if he was waving his hand to signal Chen Ping'an not to think too much, "The funeral has been dealt with long ago. The children of the Yao family are all used to life and death."
, no one needs to be too pretentious. There are so many people who died in battle at a young age. It makes no sense for someone who has lived to my age to leave. Instead, a big room is crowded and messy. I will cry when the time comes.
I find it too noisy, and if you don't cry, it seems unfilial, what the hell."
Chen Pingan asked: "What can I do?"
The old man smiled and said: "You don't have to do anything, just don't leave without hearing anything. Even if we are separated by a continent, we can still send messages with flying swords. Don't interfere in the affairs of the Yao family and the affairs of Daquan. Take it seriously."
Is he the son-in-law of our Yao family? What were you doing back then? If you didn't pretend to be stupid and were willing to take one or two more steps, maybe... forget it,"
Yao Xianzhi grinned secretly.
If this matter spreads, the government and the public will be eager to get to the bottom of it. Those privately-engraved books that have been banned for many times, the endless unofficial histories of officials, and the palace royal palaces will probably make even more money.
These books, which greatly damaged the foundation of the court and the reputation of the Yao family, and those frustrated scholars who lived in seclusion, contributed to the flames. Before my sister Yao Jinzhi became emperor, these books with unsightly content were already popular in the court and the public. After becoming emperor, only
It can be said that it has been slightly restrained, but it is still like a weed in the spring breeze. Every time the government bans one crop, another one pops up. Nowadays, even many feudal officials and local officials keep a few copies privately.
It's just that His Majesty the Emperor can't take care of such things for the time being. There are numerous military and national affairs that need to be reorganized. Just reforming the military system and setting up a total of eighty-six generals in a country has already caused turmoil.
There are many criticisms. As for the selection of the twenty-four "founding" meritorious service, there are even more obstacles. Civil and military officials with sufficient military merit to be elected have to compete for rankings. Those who are optional must fight for a place. Those who are not qualified will inevitably have bad intentions.
Resentful, and thinking that His Majesty the Emperor could replace the twenty-four generals with thirty-six generals, even those who were expanded to thirty-six could not be selected, the civil servants thought that the court could have a few more princes, and the military general's mind changed.
Turn to pick and choose the eighty-six garrison troops, each one wants to be a general on the border with the Northern Jin Dynasty and the Southern Qi Dynasty, to have greater military power and more troops. It is very likely that the border will be established again.
The six generals on Hu'er Road in the southern border during the war, and the five generals on Mihe Road who were destined to be in charge of both water and water transportation, were all top-notch meat and potatoes.
Moreover, His Majesty the Emperor seems to have been hesitating whether to use an iron fist to control those unruly historians, because if he is not careful, the new emperor will be notorious for being mean and creating a literary prison.
Chen Ping'an was really good at pretending to be stupid. He just said: "I have plans to open a sect in Tongye Continent, maybe a little further north, but in the future, I will definitely have frequent dealings with the Daquan Yao family in the same continent."
The old man asked doubtfully: "You have established a sect? Why not choose Aquarius Continent in your hometown? Is it because you can't get along there? No, since we are all sects, there is no reason to move to other continents to take root. Is it possible?
You have enough military exploits in the mountains, but unfortunately, you don’t have a good relationship with the Song Dynasty court in Dali?"
In the eyes of the old general, Chen Pingan, who was young, was able to create an immortal mansion with the title of Zong, which was already a shocking feat. It was not inferior to his granddaughter Jinzhi who succeeded in becoming emperor. As for the idea of lowering the sect, the old general said
I thought it was because my eyes were dim and my ears were deaf, and my hearing was misunderstood.
Chen Pingan said helplessly: "Grandpa Yao, the lower sect chose Tongyezhou as the location. The hilltop over there in my hometown will be the top of the upper sect. There is no need to move."
The old man was full of energy, his dejection was gone, and he was extremely happy in his heart. He deliberately smiled angrily and said: "You bastard, I don't want my tone to get louder as I get older. Why are you fooling me with your stupid words? Seeing that he is so close now."
Your Majesty, how can you cut off Hu? Back then, you looked down on a girl from the Yao family in Shangshu Mansion, but now you can finally look down on a female emperor? Okay, okay, this is fine, if it really is like this, it will make me worry less.
You have a high vision. You are one of the few people of your age who can catch her eye. However, things are different now. The girl who is close to you is now much more energetic than before. She has seen more strange people and land gods. I guess you want to
It's much more difficult to succeed than it was back then. Let's just talk about that young worshiper who looks like brown sugar, and you won't be able to succeed easily. Who is that person's name?"
"Shao Yuanran of Golden Summit Temple, one of the Earthly Immortals in Tongyezhou who has the greatest hope of becoming one of the upper five realms."
Yao Xianzhi smiled and replied loudly: "But in my opinion, Mr. Chen is not a strong rival."
Chen Pingan felt dizzy for a while and simply kept silent.
The old man talked a lot and had to close his eyes to rest. He was silent for a long time before he opened his eyes again and slowly said: "Our Yao family has never been good at dealing with scholars, especially those in the officialdom. We are too stubborn.
There are many, one person has clearly said both the pros and cons of a sentence, but he can still make sense of both, so it would be more difficult to get close. If it weren't for a group of warriors like Xu Qingzhou, who could go to court with a sword, plus there are
That old Lord Shen can still help me say a few words, maybe today the door god outside the Yao Mansion is no longer being worshiped and protected by the imperial court, but is under house arrest."
All the officials and scholars who lost their reputation and good reputation in that war, and then survived by chance. They successfully fled into the Gyeonggi territory to take refuge, but now they have not been able to become the center of the temple and the officialdom. These people
, naturally they will strongly oppose the Yao family's taking charge of the country. They will all want to occupy the moral righteousness and return the country's surname to the Liu family. How is it appropriate for a woman to take charge of the country?
Chen Pingan said: "Xu Qingzhou?"
Yao Xianzhi nodded and said: "I know that he has a deep grudge with Mr. Chen, but I still want to say something fair for him. This man has been quite responsible in the temple these years."
Xu Qingzhou, a veteran general who is nearly 70 years old and has a "daqiao" sword. Now he is the general with the prefix "Zheng" in Daquan, with outstanding military exploits. Xu Qingzhou led all the direct troops and rushed to the border, always advancing and retreating with the Yao family's cavalry.
, fought and retreated all the way, and finally defended Mirage City. He won a lot from gambling and became one of the pillars of the Daquan Army after General Yao.
At that time, Xu Qingzhou was just a young general who had placed all his bets on the eldest prince. Together with the academy gentleman Wang Qi, Caomu'an Xu Tong, and Shen Guogong Gao Shizhen, they all participated in the dangerous hunt that surrounded Chen Ping'an. It was just that at that time
Xu Qingzhou's choice was extremely decisive. He did not hesitate to fall out with the eldest prince Liu Cong, but he also made a decisive decision and quit the gamble. As a result, the family was put on the bench for many years.
Chen Pingan smiled and said: "The grievances are not small, but my impression of Xu Qingzhou and Shen Guogong is not bad."
At that time, Chen Ping'an had a deadly feud with the two princes of Daquan, first the third prince Liu Mao, and then the eldest prince Liu Cong. Liu Cong was the eldest son of Liu Zhen, the old emperor of the Liu family of Daquan.
points. In the end, Emperor Liu Zhen chose his legitimate son, who had a high reputation among civil servants, to succeed him. As for the third prince Liu Mao, he had already turned to Taoism to seek immortality. He did not show up in the previous war, but only appeared in a small Taoist temple.
Inside, I devoted myself to studying Qing Ci and Green Chapter.
However, the vassal king Liu Cong, who was able to temporarily supervise the country during the chaos, was ultimately unable to save the Liu family. After the battle of Tongyezhou ended, Liu Cong launched a mutiny on a rainy night in an attempt to seize the throne from Queen Yao Jin.
The national jade seal was secretly enshrined by a man nicknamed the Knife Grinder. He teamed up with a short woman who was squatting behind the pillars and eating midnight snacks to stop Liu Cong and failed.
It is said that after the disheveled vassal king was dragged out of the hall by the soldiers, he was extremely lost. He laughed and cursed a strange word in front of the rain curtain, "I should have waited until the rain stopped before taking action. I don't have a long memory, so you can just wait."
, be careful that Daquan’s surname will be Chen from now on.”
Chen Pingan has been carefully observing the flow of Qi of the old general. It is better than expected. Although it was a return to light before, there seems to be a subtle change in Daquan Guozuo. Chen Pingan roughly infers that there is either a similar lamp in the palace.
The existence of the natal lamp may be due to some secret means of secretly violating the rules of the Confucian Temple in the Qintian Prison. Someone is removing the lamp there and adding oil, and the oil added will be beyond the reach of any immortal.
Neither the teacher nor the gods of mountains and rivers can ask for it, because it is the illusory national destiny of Daquan. Could it be that Yao Jinzhi was in the old land of the Yao family at the border, and what measures were taken to continue the national destiny? For example, he successfully expanded the border for Daquan again.
, and the Northern Jin Dynasty finally reached an agreement on the ownership of Pine Needle Lake, and incorporated the entire Song Needle Lake into the Daquan Mountain River.
The woman with the sword opened the door gently.
The old man said: "I'm a little tired. I'll take a nap first, but it seems I can still wake up. It's not like before, every time I close my eyes, I don't have the confidence to open them."
Yao Lingzhi carefully supported his grandfather and let the old man lie down and rest again.
Chen Pingan did not leave the house immediately, but Yao Xianzhi took his sister and left first.
The two siblings stood in the corridor outside and whispered. Yao Lingzhi said: "Master is very strange. He asked me directly if the person who came here is named Chen. Could it be that he is an old acquaintance with Mr. Chen?"
Yao Lingzhi's martial arts master was none other than Liu Zong, the knife sharpener from Ouhua Blessed Land who was enshrined by Daquan. However, this knife sharpener did not reveal his identity and was not mentioned to his direct disciple Yao Lingzhi.
and his hometown.
Yao Xianzhi was a little absent-minded and suddenly asked a question, "His Majesty the Emperor is not a monk, so why has his appearance changed so little over the years? Mr. Chen is a swordsman, so the changes are so drastic."
Yao Lingzhi suppressed his anger and said, "Your Majesty the Emperor, Your Majesty the Emperor! Forget it elsewhere, at home, can you not be so unfamiliar? Do you know that my sister Jin, every time I see you so deliberately abide by the etiquette of a monarch and a minister, every bite
Your Majesty, how sad is she?!"
Yao Xianzhi looked indifferent, "You have become the emperor, so a little sadness is nothing."
Yao Lingzhi lowered his voice, but his face became more angry, and he said angrily: "Isn't it just that morning fight outside the palace gate? How long will you continue to blame your sister before you can let go?! You are a child of the Yao family, can you please be a little bit longer?
Are you concerned about the overall situation of some temples? Do you know how difficult it is to say that a bowl of water is even? If my sister really wants to act fairly and is impartial, in the eyes of others, she will only be partial to the Yao family.
, pull all your body, do you think the emperor is so easy to be? Do you believe it or not, if Jinzhi was just the empress, let alone you, even your robes, everyone would be extremely favored by the court, let alone Jinzhi and others
How many times have you hinted in private, asking you to wait patiently and suffer some grievances first, because many shortcomings in the present will be made up for in the long run. Think about it carefully, how many outstanding achievements have been made in order to carefully balance the officialdom in the near future.
Will the direct descendants of the Yao family and the allies of the temple fail to be selected among the twenty-four meritorious deeds? Is it possible that you, Yao Xian, will be wronged?"
Yao Xianzhi crossed his arms and said, "It's hard for an upright official to stop household chores, not to mention that we are all an emperor's family. I understand the truth. If I didn't care about the overall situation, I would have given up my life and left the capital long ago. It won't hurt anyone's eyes. Otherwise, you think I care about you."
What is the status of this county king and the official position of the governor of the capital?"
According to Daquan law, the prince of the county and the duke of the country are of the same rank.
Nowadays, in addition to the Duke of Shen who once stood out in Daquan, there are now eight more Dukes, including important civil and military ministers. General Xu Qingzhou is one of them.
Yao Xianzhi was so annoyed that he punched his younger brother on the shoulder, "You are just a fool who only cares about your own mood and is not unreasonable at all!"
Yao Xianzhi was shaken by the punch, and one of his sleeves floated slightly. Yao Lingzhi's eyes turned red when he saw it. He wanted to say a few soft words to his brother, but he was afraid of saying it again. Yao Xianzhi became more willful.
The time was full of mixed emotions. The woman who had once fought with a feudal king with swords could only turn her head away and wipe her tears.
Wearing a green shirt, he opened the door gently, closed the door gently, and came to the corridor.
Yao Lingzhi quickly collected his emotions and said to Chen Ping'an: "Mr. Chen, no one will randomly explore your identity here in the capital. You will pretend that nothing happened today. But there will be people secretly flying swords to send messages to the south.
I really can't stop this."
Chen Ping'an thanked her, and then smiled at Yao Xianzhi and said, "You should go to the border to drink from the northwest wind. You are really not suitable to be a well-rounded governor of the capital."
Yao Xianzhi's eyes lit up, "Mr. Chen, why don't you talk to grandpa? Your words are the most effective. You don't need to be a military commander in charge of an army. I really don't have that ability. I can reward a scout captain casually. From the sixth
Being a military attache is enough to send me away."
Chen Pingan smiled and said: "No problem, of course I can help, but only if you really understand what your sister just told you, then I can let you go to the border to feed the horses. Otherwise, if something happens in the capital in the future, there will be a slight disturbance.
, you are only acting on your own initiative. Do you think you are a scout captain, but in the eyes of others? I guess a few words in your ears fanned the flames, and if any of the Paoze brothers were wronged in the officialdom, you would probably dare to lead hundreds of fine cavalry all the way to the mirage.
Jingcheng, right? If I were His Majesty the Emperor, it would be easiest for you to be the Prince of Taiping behind closed doors. Regardless of whether you can continue to fight for the injustice of those Paoze brothers who retired from the battlefield, outside the palace gate
Did you have a fight in the court? How many civil servants did you kick over? Tell me. Tsk tsk, good fellow, do you think you are an invincible martial artist at the foot of Yizhou Mountain, or a Five Realm Immortal Master on the top of a mountain with extraordinary skills?"
"You are young and ignorant, impulsive, are you impulsive? Didn't I learn this from Mr. Chen? When encountering injustice, it doesn't matter whether he has it or not, punch first and then talk."
Yao Xianzhi sounded disappointed at first, but the more he heard, the happier he became. He chuckled and said, "Mr. Chen, you haven't seen that scene. That large group of powerless civil servants, if Xu Qingzhou hadn't stopped him at that time,
I can knock them all to the ground by myself. There is no such opportunity now. Let alone a minister, even a member of the household department can't scold or beat him. Gold is very valuable. If I had known, I would have taken advantage of it.
Kick a few more when it gets dark."
Yao Lingzhi felt helpless, but he breathed a sigh of relief.
At least, Mr. Chen's younger brother will no longer say those shady words, and will only make those close to him feel heartbroken.
Chen Ping'an stretched out his hand and shook the lame man's empty sleeve. Instead of comforting him, he joked: "Thankfully, Lord Fu Yin, did not travel alone in the world. Otherwise, a great master of martial arts in the Five Realms would be like this."
The nickname of One-Armed Divine Fist cannot go away. What's going on, is it for the Great Demon of the Upper Five Realms? If not, don't talk to me, there is nothing to say."
Yao Lingzhi glanced at his brother cautiously.
Unexpectedly, Yao Xianzhi not only did not feel uncomfortable, but instead said with a proud face: "On the battlefield, there are dangers and dangers. There is a demon beast in the realm of earthly immortals, a sword cultivator! Hiding in Tibet, he made a dirty move towards me, and a sword light swept across
But, boy, I didn’t even feel any fucking pain at first.”
Chen Pingan glanced at the woman with the sword.
Yao Lingzhi smiled and said: "Listen to his nonsense, in the chaos of the army, someone cut off an arm for some reason. However, there was indeed a demon swordsman near the immortal at that time. His sword was sharp and the sword light was coming and going.
A lot."
Chen Pingan nodded and said: "Then treat it as being chopped off by the Sword Immortal, otherwise there will be no bullshit on the wine table."
Yao Xianzhi looked forward to it and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Chen, in your hometown, the fighting was even more severe, and they were all beaten badly. I heard that they fought all the way from Laolongcheng to the central capital of Dali. Did you touch it on the battlefield?
A real big demon has arrived?"
Chen Ping'an thought for a while and replied with a smile: "I have met some, fought with some, and some are not close or far away. It can only be regarded as the two parties barely meeting each other."
Yao Xianzhi continued: "Mr. Chen, I'm talking about big demons, the kind that reach the fifth realm! How many are there? Do you have a few? If not, my admiration for Mr. Chen will be reduced by half."
Chen Pingan reached out and patted the man on the shoulder, smiled and said: "Don't chat with people like this again."
The bearded man laughed heartily.
Unknowingly, Yao Xianzhi began to walk lamely, without any cover, and let it go with one sleeve floating.
Yao Lingzhi started laughing. From the war to now, she hadn't seen her brother smile so brightly for many years.
In fact, Yao Xianzhi really understands some truths, but he is reluctant to understand them. He seems to be ignorant, but he can still do something. If he is sensible, he can't do anything.
Therefore, no matter what Yao Jinzhi, who was already His Majesty the Emperor, said to him, or Yao Lingzhi, who had always regarded him as his sister, said a few words to him, Yao Xianzhi would not listen, otherwise he would only feel more uncomfortable in his heart.
The three of them left the courtyard and returned to Yao Xianzhi's residence.
Yao Lingzhi hesitated for a moment and said to Chen Ping'an: "Mr. Chen, I have a master who has been a priest in our Daquan capital for many years. He is a martial arts master. He seemed to have seen your figure before, so he rushed over immediately.
When I arrived, I asked if the guest from the Yao Mansion was named Chen. I didn’t answer, but perhaps the master had noticed something, so he asked me to tell him that he knew Master Zhong, and that he had dealt with Master Zhong back then.
Yu’s surname is Jianxian.”
Chen Pingan nodded and said: "Miss Yao's master and I are indeed old acquaintances. If there are no taboos in the house, I will be more assertive and let him make one more trip to the Yao house to reminisce."
Yao Lingzhi said: "Then I will call Master over."
Chen Ping'an asked: "The buried river goddess, is she in Biyou Palace now?"
Yao Xianzhi smiled and said: "No, our Water Goddess has most of her golden body broken. She says she has no face to be the Water God. She doesn't go to Biyou Palace. She stays in the sword room of Qintian Prison every day and doesn't go anywhere.
She was eagerly waiting for a reply from the Confucian Temple, saying that she recognized Master Wen Sheng. She had even seen Zuo Dajianxian and one of Master Wen Sheng's young disciples and recognized them all. So she wanted to try sending an envelope.
She wrote to the respected, scholarly, approachable and affable Literary Saint to see if he could do her a favor and ask the gods on the mountain for a better life-saving water elixir for General Yao. Because she knew that her family was Biyou.
The pills from Gongshui Mansion are useless and cannot help His Majesty the Emperor and my grandfather."
Yao Xianzhi hurriedly said: "Those kind words about Literary Saint were not said by me. After I drank with her, the Water Goddess cracked her fingers and belched the wine. She said it with an extremely serious look. It's just that I
I don’t believe it. I guess the Water Goddess Empress has never met any of the three from the Literary Sage lineage. They are drunk and bragging with me. Although Zuo Dajianxian was indeed in Tongye Continent, how could he take the initiative to go to Bi
It doesn’t make sense to visit the palace as a guest and meet our Water Goddess.”
Chen Ping'an stood up and said to Yao Lingzhi who had not gone far: "If you can, Miss Yao, please say hello to the Water Goddess again, just say I am Chen Ping'an."
Yao Lingzhi left to help deliver the message.
Chen Pingan and Yao Xianzhi asked about some details of the Daquan War in the past.
Liu Zong came here soon, and the old man probably hadn't left Yao Mansion too far at all.
Chen Pingan stood up and clasped his fists, "Senior Liu."
Yao Xianzhi stood up, clenched his fist and tapped his heart gently, "I've met Liu Chongfeng."
The knife sharpener Liu Zong nodded towards the slovenly man, then rubbed his chin, looked at Chen Ping'an blankly, and sighed: "Master Chen has become more and more handsome and has become an immortal. It's easy for me to think about myself in the past."
Yao Xianzhi was confused. It sounds like Mr. Chen has a very good relationship with Liu Chongfeng?
The three of them sat down.
After chatting for a few words, a short woman hurriedly came in the wind and landed in the courtyard. Her eyes widened. After confirming Chen Pingan's identity, she stamped her foot, "The water flower wine and eel noodles are gone, what?"
