Chapter Sixty-Nine: The Root of Dayan's Illness
"Is your Miss Ji gone?" asked softly the man who was walking side by side with Wei Lai in the Yu Mansion.
"Hmm. Wei Lai nodded, and did not correct Yu Tong's deliberate ridicule.
Wei Lai asked later, "Mr. Wang's side?"
"It's okay, it's just that without the best friend who has been with each other for 700 years, it's inevitable to feel a little sad. I have discussed with him that he will leave Gutong City with me in three days. Yu Tong said softly.
Wei Lai's brows furrowed slightly, and he was a little surprised: "You want to leave?"
"The Yin Dragon is gone, the waiting place is gone, and the 100,000 Yin Souls have a home, why are you staying here? Is it really a county magistrate for his Yuan family, eating and waiting for death?" Yu Tong asked rhetorically.
Wei Lai was stunned for a moment, then smiled, and it seemed that guarding a city was really not something that this former little marquis could do. He nodded, didn't dwell on the topic any longer, and asked, "Then where are you going next?"
"I've been in this ancient Tong City for twenty-eight years, and I'm tired of it, it doesn't matter where I go, I should just take a walk, I can't say where I agree, and I want to stay?" Yu Tong is still a calm and light posture that doesn't matter about everything.
Wei Lai suddenly stopped at that time, looked sideways at Yu Tong, he blinked, and asked with a strange expression, "It's that simple?"
"Otherwise?" Yu Tong asked rhetorically.
"After that Ye Shengzi woke up, he told me about where the method of refining this Yin Dragon into a divine pattern came from. Wei Lai didn't answer Yu Tong's words, but instead talked about something that seemed to have nothing to do with the previous conversation between the two. "It is said that after the Qiankun Sect accepted a new disciple, the head of the Qiankun Sect suddenly mentioned this matter, and before that, Ye Yuan had never heard the head of the Qiankun Sect mention this matter in more than ten years as the first holy son of the Qiankun Sect. “
Yu Tong turned his head to look at Wei Lai, raised his eyebrows, and asked meaningfully, "What are you talking to me about?"
"Nothing. Wei Lai shook his head: "I'm just wondering, what kind of character can live to this day seven hundred years later, that is, the longest immortal Buddha in the Holy Realm, and the longevity is only two or three hundred years." Isn't the guy who has lived for 700 years transformed by a great demon?"
"Didn't you say you wanted to walk around, then go to Guzhou and have a look, maybe there will be a place to your liking?" Wei Lai blinked again.
Yu Tong was stunned, and after a long while, he said, "I won't say thank you to you." ”
"No, I don't. Wei Lai stretched out his hand and patted the long knife on his back: "Let's pay with one hand, deliver with one hand, and clear both." ”
The two of them looked at each other at that time, and then they both laughed tacitly.
......
As the night got dark, the two walked to the ancestral temple located in the depths of Yufu.
With the repossession of Yu Houfeng, this place that once housed the three ancestors of the Yu family is now just a place where ordinary families worship their ancestors, and there is nothing unique about it. Even compared to the average large family, this ancestral temple is still a little shabby.
Squeak –
With a hoarse sound, Yu Tong pushed open the door of the ancestral temple.
This time, without the dust of the squirrel, the gloomy candlestick in the ancestral temple was also replaced with good candles, lit all night long, illuminating the small ancestral temple as if it were day, Wei Lai took a closer look and found that all parts of the ancestral temple were cleaned spotlessly, which was very different from the last time he saw that even the spirit card was covered with dust.
And there is obviously only one person who can do this, so Wei Lai couldn't help but glance at Yu Tong beside him in surprise.
Yu Tong, who felt Wei Lai's gaze, shrugged his shoulders: "These three guys chattered in my ears before they died, and they couldn't be idle every day when they died. “
"They've lived enough, and I've heard enough of them, so I thought that when they left, we'd say goodbye and we'd be done. I didn't want them to leave, so I started thinking about them. ”
"Probably people in this world are like this, sometimes they don't know how to cherish it, and they regret it when they lose it. And I, as for me, I don't seem to be exempt from vulgarity, and after all, I am not as free and easy as I imagined. ”
Yu Tong said, although the expression on his face was still as calm as ever, Wei Lai could feel that the other party's tone was not as lonely as before.
It stands to reason that Wei Lai should say something at this time to comfort the man in front of him, which is human nature. Wei Lai was indeed thinking about what to say at this time.
But those words that had been brewing for a long time, Wei Lai didn't have time to say them, so Yu Tong said again: "Don't comfort me, although this does seem to be a very tragic thing, but in fact, it is a good thing for the Yu family and for me." ”
"Huh?" Wei Lai was stunned, unable to understand Yu Tong's logic well.
"The world says that I Yu Tong is addicted to wine, ten years of cultivation has not made an inch, where do they understand, I have four realms of cultivation at the age of eighteen, if I break one or two realms in the past ten years, then today I am afraid that the crime on my Yu Tong's head is not worthy of virtue. Yu Tong smiled.
When Wei Lai heard this, he immediately reacted, and he nodded: "With Brother Yu's qualifications, Rao has not practiced for ten years, and today's achievements are enough to make it difficult for the younger generation in Ningzhou to match." Today, like a fish entering the sea, like a tiger returning to the forest, it is not difficult for him to ascend to the holy realm in the year. ”
Wei Lai's words came from the bottom of his heart, and they were by no means polite words.
In fact, it is not a strange thing for a person who has attained the cultivation of the Four Realms at the age of eighteen to achieve anywhere in the future.
But Yu Tong shook his head, and said in a hearty voice: "Everyone in the world says how is the Holy Realm? At least that guy who has lived for seven hundred years can't be solved by the Holy Realm alone. ”
Wei Lai was silent, although in the conversation with Wang Daoan and the subsequent encounter in the underground, Wei Lai was very sure that the guy from seven hundred years ago had a great chance of indeed living, but as he said before, he couldn't imagine what kind of character could survive the long years of seven hundred years to this life, at least in Wei Lai's understanding, a person who can have such skills is either a great demon who cultivates to the sky, or a yin god like Wang Daoan, but if it is a yin god, where does he have the ability to turn others into a yin god?
Then there is only one answer left - a big demon who has lived for more than seven hundred years, and this big demon has the cultivation of the Holy Realm seven hundred years ago, such an opponent is much stronger than the Wupan Dragon King that Wei Lai has to face, so it is no wonder that Yu Tong is so discouraged when he mentions this matter.
But Yu Tong is never the kind of person who needs encouragement or comfort from others, he always knows what he should do, what he can do, and how to do it.
He put his hands on the back of his head and said with a smile: "No matter how strong that guy is, all I have to do is kill him." ”
"A problem that can be solved by killing one person is not a problem. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Wei Lai with deep meaning, and suddenly asked, "What about you, go to Ning Xiao City, send that girl to him, what are you going to do next?"
"Do you also find a sect to be a backer, or take refuge in Jiang Huanshui?"
This question made Wei Lai silent for a while, and he remembered what Yu Tong had said to him before, he said that killing Wei Lai's father and mother was far from being as simple as an Wupan Dragon King.
He raised his head to look at Yu Tong and suddenly asked, "Can I ask you a question?"
Yu Tong shrugged his shoulders: "Of course." ”
"A sixteen-year-old child should have a lot of questions in his heart. ”
"And a mature, steady and talented man has a responsibility to answer the puzzles of a little kid like you. ”
Wei Lai didn't have the heart to pay attention to Yu Tong's self-selling boasting, he asked, "Who do you think can be the emperor of this Great Yan with the five princes and the crown prince?"
Yu Tong's eyebrows were raised again, and his gaze at Wei Lai was a little stranger: "Do you think the problem with today's Dayan is the old emperor?"
Now the Emperor Ning Yu of Tailin City, who ascended the throne at fifty, has been the prince for thirty years, the first emperor is a strong person, and as the prince for thirty years, Emperor Ning Yu has been conscientious and conscientious, walking on thin ice. This is also the case, which has created today's Emperor Ning Yu to be suspicious by nature, and he hardly trusts anyone except the queen mother. This led to the strict laws of Dayan, the eagle dogs led by Cang Yuwei and Black Dog Armor were rampant, and the relatives of the Jin family interfered in politics, up to the court, down to the people, everyone was in danger.
These are not things that Wei Lai imagined.
About three years ago, a scholar went to Tailin City, this scholar was quite talented, and happened to be appreciated by the above, and sat in the position of the speaker, the scholar was only in his early thirties at that time, and was born in a poor family, it was not easy to have such an opportunity. If you continue to do your duty, you can't say that you can still go to the list of the nine kings when you are old, and you can be regarded as a very good minister.
However, the scholar came to Tailin City from Guzhou thousands of miles away, obviously not to glorify his ancestors, and on the third day of becoming a councilor, he handed over a copy of the recital.
It was this note that shook Dayan at that time, and the scholars were beheaded outside the noon gate of Tailin City the next day, and then most of the people who had intersected with it, or who had been promoted and introduced, were all spared, and they were all labeled as traitors and beheaded all over the house.
More than 800 people were implicated in this case, which was even worse than the case of Chu Hou's rebellion.
And what was said in the recital handed by the scholar was what Wei Lai had in mind before, and this analysis was indeed recognized by most people, and it was considered to be a sharp point to point out the crux of Dayan's current problem. Of course, these remarks were only circulated among the people, but no one dared to say them in front of His Majesty.
Wei Lai's puzzled gaze had already answered Yu Tong's question very well.
Yu Tong was not surprised by this, he continued to ask, "Do you think your father and Lu Guanshan are stupid?"
Yu Tong's question came extremely abruptly, and Wei Lai was also stunned when he heard this, and he was puzzled: "What do you mean?"
Yu Tong opened his mouth to speak, but he suddenly thought of something, silently shut up, and swallowed the words that came to his mouth again. Then he shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Nothing. ”
"I mean. Your father and Lu Guanshan can't tell who can be the emperor who will bring prosperity to Dayan, how can I know?"
"If you really want to get involved in that battle for imperial power, then go to Ning Xiao City first to see where the root of this Great Yan is......
