Chapter 170: Old Friends
Late at night, in Yanjun Village, in the courtyard of the boss. It was quiet, there was not the slightest sound, and there was no light in sight, but the boss was indeed sitting in the courtyard.
The first time I walked into the courtyard, I used a spell to block prying eyes, encompassing the whole courtyard.
The boss looked at me and said, "Isn't that going to be a cover-up?"
I smiled and said, "Why don't you startle the snake! Zhang Liang has you explained everything?"
The boss nodded and said, "It's all done, but... I'm afraid that no one will make a move on him. The emperor has always paid attention to efficiency, and there is never a time for procrastination. Zhang Jiao's matter has not been decided to come down until now, and he doesn't seem to take this matter seriously. ”
"So you think the problem will still appear in the world? or even think that there is a problem with the fifth child?"
The boss looked at the row of courtyards opposite and said, "Yes, I suspect the fifth." When I asked who was going to the world, he wasn't the first to stand up, but after you opened your mouth, he took the initiative to ask for help. This is somewhat unusual. ”
I thought for a moment and asked, "What about Lao Qi? Lao Qi's cultivation is very strange. When Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, he had been to the world. From these two points, I think Lao Qi is the most suspicious. ”
"I also thought about whether it would be the seventh, but the seventh didn't make any movement this time. There are too few clues in your hands to determine which Yan Jun has changed. ”
I laughed and said, "Maybe it's just that you're thinking too much." ”
"Let's hope, we've been friends for years, and I don't want any of us to have a problem. Have you confessed to Fusu?"
I nodded and said, "It's all settled." ”
When the sun had just risen, Zhang Liang stepped on the path. Although this is not the first time I have passed here, I am still fascinated by the surrounding scenery. Being in the starry sky of the universe, God dwells in an ethereal fairy dream. Immortals should have such enjoyment, relaxed, happy, and living in an environment that mortals can't reach. It's not about being high, it's not about being different. It's just that cultivation is a bit boring, if there is no different enjoyment from the mundane, what is the meaning of immortals, I am afraid that it will become tasteless after a long time.
While enjoying the scenery and hurrying, Zhang Liang did not relax his vigilance. The boss deliberately explained some things to him, so that he had to be cautious. But this caution seemed to be a bit redundant, and he went all the way to the Lingxiao Treasure Palace, and nothing unexpected happened.
There are still many immortals lining up outside the main hall, and there are about one hundred and eighty immortals. From a distance, you can see many doppelgangers of the emperor, busy in the main hall. The emperor seems to be always busy, and there are countless affairs and countless lines in the land, all gathered in this hall, waiting for the emperor to deal with it.
Zhang Liang honestly lined up in the back, the immortals in front entered and went out, and the immortals in the back came and followed. The team has not decreased, nor has it increased, the emperor has been bowing his head in the case, and it seems that he has never seen the emperor put away his doppelganger. The last Yaochi Grand Event, there were also many clones left to work in the main hall.
It seems that few people have seen the emperor's true body, and such an idea came to Zhang Liang's mind. He didn't know when the emperor had countless clones, and he didn't know how long the emperor's state had lasted. Could it be that the emperor has been working with the doppelganger all the time, and the real body is always lazy?
My thoughts drifted for a long time, drifting far away. It wasn't until there were no immortals in front of him that he took his thoughts back and waited for the emperor's reception. The god in front put the official document in his hand in front of one of the emperor's doppelgangers, and the emperor didn't raise his head, but just put the paper in front of him, read it carefully, thought about it for a while, and stamped a big seal on it.
On the snow-white paper, the large red seal is particularly conspicuous. With Zhang Liang's eyesight, he could clearly see the large seal pattern printed on the paper, but he did not recognize the words printed on it. It was an extremely old script, the first written language ever since the birth of the land, created by the ancient gods. This kind of writing has few characters and can express a limited meaning, but it means the beginning of all civilization, representing the continuation of the power of this land.
Until now, the annual output of the paper in the underworld is still not much, and all the paper has been given priority to the supply of the boundary, and the Yan monarchs of the underworld are still using bamboo slips. Yan Jun calculated very well in this business, and it was much more profitable to sell it to the realm than to use it for himself. Although the finances of the prefecture have always been very good, being able to earn the wealth of the realm is still quite in line with the bad taste of the Yan monarchs.
Regarding the trade with the realm and the underworld, several of the current gods of wealth in the realm have some opinions. In particular, Bi Gan has the greatest opinion on this, and the weak monarch and the strong minister are the root of the disaster, which was the case between the Shang and Zhou dynasties. Although the situation between the realm and the underworld is completely different, Bigan still complains about the fact that the underworld has been earning wealth from the realm.
After Fan Li was transferred to the realm, the first thing Bi Gan did was to pull Zhao Gongming to talk to Fan Li, and they talked about the whole one, the one in the world. From the rich country to the rich people, from the world to the underworld, and then from the underworld to the boundary, there is also the strategy compiled by Fan Li. Fan Li felt depressed about this, and most of the financial system of the prefecture came from his handwriting. I have to be a very serious fairy, he didn't leave any back door for himself, and he did many links flawlessly.
Deal with yourself? Fan Li really didn't know how to explain to Bigan except for a wry smile. The reason why Bigan became the God of Wealth is because of his public heart. For finance, Bigan didn't know much, and the finance of the Shang and Zhou dynasties was very simple, nothing more than taxes and sales. It is difficult to explain those too complicated rules to him, but fortunately, Zhao Gongming is a very smart immortal, and most of Fan Li's narration can be understood.
For a while, the three immortals discussed countless methods, but they never came up with any reliable solutions. After death, the living souls of the human world will go down to the underworld, and countless living souls will bring countless skills from the human world, enriching the output of the underworld. There is no such advantage in the world, there are too few immortals who have risen up in the world, and most of them only know cultivation, and they have no involvement in those skills that have nothing to do with cultivation.
The three gods of wealth finally broke up unhappily, each in a state of discouragement. The nature of the realm and the prefecture has already determined the superiority and disadvantage of trade, and it is not that they can change it.
Seeing the immortal in front of him come out with an official document, Zhang Liang tidied up his clothes and walked slowly into the Lingxiao Palace.
One of the emperor's doppelgangers raised his head rarely, and said with a smile: "Taiqiong can't help it, so you want to come to see me?"
Zhang Liang saluted and said: "Your Majesty, the recent affairs in the underworld are quite strange, and we can't understand it, so I write to the Lingxiao Palace and ask Your Majesty to adjudicate." However, it has not been delayed for a long time that His Majesty's will has been issued, so the Great Yan Jun discussed with us and felt that it would be better for me to come and ask His Majesty to explain his doubts in person. ”
The emperor casually took out a scroll of bamboo slips on the table, which was the book of Yan Jundian. said: "I have read this book carefully, but I can't give a reply, so I can only hold it down temporarily." ”
Zhang Liang was surprised: "The emperor is in charge of this world, and there are also things that he doesn't understand?"
The emperor shook his head and said, "The things in this world are complicated and strange. Although I am in the position of the emperor, I am only in the realm of respect, and if I don't become a Dao ancestor, I will be confused after all. ”
Zhang Liang thought for a moment and asked, "Then the emperor can inquire about Dao Ancestor about this matter?"
"Naturally, I asked, but Dao Ancestor didn't answer this, just asked me to sit and talk about it. I'm so busy, how can I have time to talk to them, these three old men, I don't know what to think. ”
Three old men? Zhang Liang felt as if he had heard something extraordinary! The three Dao Ancestors were the source of all Dao Dharma in the world, and their realm was high and profound, and their status was revered. Probably only the emperor can slander the Dao Ancestor like this......
The emperor ignored Zhang Liang's frozen expression and continued: "I have some news about the disappearance of the Sixth Yan Jun, but he is not in any danger. ”
"What news does Your Majesty have? But there is a trace of the sixth child?"
"No, someone has opened up a realm with great magical powers and trapped the Six Yan Monarchs in his Zheng, but this person's realm is not as good as mine, so he can't isolate my calculations. ”
Zhang Liang asked eagerly: "Then can Your Majesty find out the current location of the sixth child and rescue him?"
The emperor shook his head and said: "That is the business of your underworld, and it should be handled by your own underworld! The realm will not interfere in the internal affairs of the underworld, and this is the only piece of news I can tell you." ”
Zhang Liang asked again: "What kind of realm should the person who can open up a realm be?"
The emperor stopped talking and continued to work with his head down. Zhang Liang waited for a long time, but still couldn't answer. He could only walk out of the main hall, and the immortals who were lining up at the door saw him coming out of the hall and hurriedly walked in.
Lao Wu set off at a later time than Zhang Liang, and when Zhang Liang was queuing up in the Lingxiao Palace, he only set off from Yanjun Village.
When he left, he took with him a jar of wine, a jar of wine made by Du Kang himself.
didn't say goodbye to us, just alone, with a jar of wine, and set foot on the road to the ghost gate. The road is not short, and he walks very slowly. The ghost gate is still very lively, the ghosts who come and go, and the endless souls. In the past few years, many places have changed a lot, but the scene of the ghost gate is always the same.
The fifth child loves to die like this, and only the ghost gate can make him feel those real pasts again. Those glorious times, those unforgettable pasts. There are not many traces that can be left to this day, he is a nostalgic person, and likes those few old traces.
Walking out of the ghost gate, I looked around at the surrounding scenery. Lao Wu's face showed a trace of sadness, a trace of sadness that did not exist in the past.
"You have followed me for so long, come out, you don't dare to do it in the underworld, don't you dare in the world?"
The sound wafted through the wilderness, swaying.
probably felt the sadness of the fifth child, but the man still didn't show up. just said in a voice that was indistinguishable from yin and yang: "Are you so sure that I will follow you, not Zhang Liang?"
Lao Wu shook his head and said: "I just think that the human world is more important than the world, if you have a plan, you will definitely follow the world." Show up and let me see who old friend you really are. ”
"I'm not going to make a move on you before we meet. ”
"Why?"
The voice paused for a moment before he said slowly, "You are a nostalgic person, and you shouldn't bear the pain after seeing me." ”
"Then why are you following me?"
"I'm just here to give you something, maybe I can do you a favor. ”
"What's that? what's busy?"
"A volume of the Fa to help you become a new immortal! The Fa is for you, and I will go back to duty. ”
A roll of sheepskin flew from afar and landed in the hands of the fifth child. Lao Wu grabbed the parchment roll with one hand, and chased it in the direction where the parchment roll flew from. chased out a few miles, but still no one was seen.
The fifth child stood in place with some disappointment, his eyes a little dazed. Will he not be able to redeem this old friend after all?
