Ouyang Xi never dreamed that the "Heaven can shoot down the sun, and the earth can penetrate the planet", the No. 1 powerful hermit monk of the "Void Heaven Continent" in Lu Dabao's mouth, would actually have lunch and dinner with several of them. Moreover, he is still the kind of ruffian who swears with a big bowl, brags on a stool, has a loud voice, is full of confidence, and is a brother when he drinks down, and scolding his mother is a real ruffian.

Of course, I didn't expect it to be such a scene of worshipping "masters", as well as Deng Kun, Lei Tao, Chen Yong, Liu Yi, and Wang Zhen. Although the generals are proud of their boldness, it doesn't mean that the generals are bastards who can only shout five and drink six, most of them are both civil and military, and they are mainly martial arts, and they know the necessary etiquette, and they will never be like the powerful hermit and Lu Dabao in front of them, spitting stars flying all over the sky.

I don't know why, Lu Dabao was very excited when he saw this powerful hermit called "Lao Gan", when he drank tea in the morning, he actually made a drinking frame, and after drinking at noon, he was as if he had just escaped from prison, he ate whatever he wanted, drank whatever he wanted, and he hadn't seen oil for eight hundred years, and he wasn't much better than him.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, it was finally up to the afternoon, and the two brothers seemed to have fallen into evil, holding a wine jar and bragging. Especially the mighty monk, that cowhide is blown, as long as he understands what "laws in the house" and what "flower learning square lantern style", in the ordinary mortal world, he can also do iron plates flying all over the sky, ropes to convey love words, sand to show people's shadows, and men to give birth to children.

As a mentally normal person, no matter which one of them, he will only think that it is drunken nonsense, and he will never believe it, not to mention the old brothers, you help me, I drag you, and the spit stars are sprayed on each other's faces, isn't it bragging? However, the six brothers were selected by the emperor from tens of thousands of people, and received great grace to come to worship the mountain, what can they do......?

As a result, the six newly recruited military divisions and generals of the "Shu Kingdom" emperor were like fools, watching Li Liang and Lu Dabao laugh and ridicule, brag, talk nonsense, and talk nonsense, from morning to noon, from noon to afternoon, and then from afternoon to evening, watching the three rounds of scorching sun fall, the drunken old brothers still stubbornly blew wildly, which really made the six great fathers who had been with them for a long time unable to sit still.

"Your Majesty, the sun is coming to an end, it's getting late, do you think it's time to go back to the court?" Although he has some martial arts, Ouyang Xi is a literati after all, and he has been sitting for more than ten hours, which makes him feel extremely uncomfortable with backache, so after hesitating for a long time, he still gritted his teeth and said.

"Go back, go back to the nest, go back to what nest? I'm a human, not a bird, I should go home after drinking, not back to the nest! Besides, I haven't finished drinking with Lao Gan!" Lu Dabao has obviously drunk high, his eyes are red, and his originally big eyes have almost narrowed into a line, and they are piled up on the seat, oblique, twisted, and bent from head to toe, and he will shake three times when he blows.

"Your Majesty, the great cause has not been accomplished, and greed for wine hurts your body!" Ouyang Yi was angry when he heard this. You two fucking drink endlessly, but let us be stupid here, just ignore it, it's almost dark and haven't finished drinking, do you have a score or not?

"I'm still greedy for nine miles, I don't want to marry a little two, how can I be greedy for any Xiao Jiu? Don't say it, I want to continue to drink with Lao Gan!" Lu Dabao suddenly became very angry after hearing this, his squinting eyes widened, his snake-like body stiffened, and his hoarse voice became broken.

"Uh, the emperor, the emperor, the minister, the minister, the minister......" Ouyang Xi's original intention was to persuade Lu Dabao to go back, but he didn't expect the old buddy to be drunk and had a fork, not only did he not understand what he meant, but also pulled out the peachy dispute within the family, which made him stunned for a while, and he didn't know what to say at all.

"Owner, come on, let's have another drink, deep feelings, one sip!" At this time, Li Liang, who had not talked to the six benevolent brothers since Lu Dabao's official introduction, spoke.

Don't look at the wine bowl he has drunk from the morning to now, don't look at the wine bowl he made is nearly twenty times the capacity of the wine glass used by Lu Dabao, don't look at the degree of the sorghum wine is not low, hundreds of years of unremitting hard practice, coupled with the cultivation of immortal arts and reaching a certain level, has made Li Liang's sensitivity to wine reach a rather terrifying level.

Let's take an analogy. Before the crossing, buddy was affectionately called "Li Shuangshuang" by the leader in charge, which means that when others drink a sip, he has to drink two sips, and when others drink a glass, he has to drink two or two arms, which shows that his foundation is quite solid, and his stomach has a strong ability to digest wine.

After coming to this world, on the one hand, the quality of drinking wine is guaranteed and the degree is low, no matter how much you drink, you will not get on the head, and in this world, there is no smoke, no TV to watch, no shopping malls to visit, and even a park is fucking private, so my buddies put all their hobbies into winemaking, drinking, and researching wine, and the amount of alcohol has increased vigorously.

On the other hand, after cultivating the immortal arts, the aura of heaven and earth will circulate in the meridians, although it is an independent system in the body, it will always affect the original metabolism, especially blood circulation, and it flows very fast when meditating and cultivating, almost three to five times that of a normal person. Analyzing the reason, I am afraid that it is still used to maintain the cultivator's physical energy consumption beyond ordinary people, after all, every time a cultivator flies into the sky to cast a spell, it consumes not only mana and spiritual power, but also a large amount of power energy.

"Okay, good, do it, I have to do it!" Lu Dabao heard this, his angry expression was closed, and he put on a standard "chrysanthemum-style" flattering smile, and said with a beautiful glass in his hand.

"Your Majesty's ......" Ouyang Xi was really a little overwhelmed when he saw this, and hurriedly opened his mouth to say a few more words of comfort, but at this time, his gaze met Li Liang's, and he only felt that as soon as there was a flower in front of him, the heavens and the earth began to rotate.

It's really strange to say, Ouyang Xi has observed the "old cadre" monk in front of him countless times throughout the day, although they did not eat around a table, but divided into two tables, Lu Dabao and the "old cadre" monk have a table, in the pavilion in the garden, they have six virtuous ministers at a table, outside the pavilion, there is a distance of more than two zhang between the two tables, but with Ouyang Xi's good eyesight, there is no problem to see the details clearly.

But like now, just seeing the other party's eyes, he immediately felt dizzy, which still made Ouyang Xi's heart beat rapidly. It is estimated that his reckless behavior angered the great monk in front of him, and made him cast some spell on himself, and it was a spell that specifically disturbed his mind.

Thinking like this in his heart, Ouyang Xi staggered up from his seat, gently dusted off his clothes, and fell to his knees with great grandeur, kowtowing to the great monk three times with "bang" and "bang". Then, he slowly got up from the ground, bowed slightly and clasped his hands into fists and said: "The master is above, please forgive the kid for being rude......"

"This is for you, when you understand the truth, you will see me again, go back......" Li Liang didn't look at him, just threw it casually, threw a black thing to him, and said coldly.

Ouyang Xi caught the mass of things, and after carefully identifying it, he found that it was actually a rare century-old Poria cocos in the world, and he couldn't help but be stunned. "What do you mean? If you lose such a thing, let me go back, where are you going? Are you going back to the palace, or going back to your own mansion, or where did you come from? Besides, I came with a few of them, and no one else moved, but they told me to go back, what is the matter?"

"Venerable Master, ...... are you?" Ouyang Xi was stunned for a moment, and for a moment he couldn't understand what kind of strange appearance the strange monk in front of him was playing, so he opened his mouth to ask.

"Huh?" Ouyang Xi's question seemed to anger the person in front of him, only to see him turn his head slowly, staring coldly, and an invisible sense of oppression swept over. "Hmph, if the answer to all the questions can be told directly, then why do you need something on your neck? Just cut it off when the ball can be kicked, get out......"

After the monk finished saying these words, he flicked his left hand slightly, and a light breeze rolled strangely between his sleeves. At first, it was just a little fluctuation, but in an instant, it intensified rapidly, and when it reached Ouyang Xi, it became a raging wind, rolling it away along with the five great generals, and roaring into the distance.

I don't know how much time passed, Ouyang Xi slowly opened his eyes, and what came into his eyes was still neatly arranged pearls, gorgeous and dazzling flower and bird wall paintings. When I moved my body, I felt very sore, and some local parts, such as my buttocks, arms, thighs, etc., had some faint pain, thinking that I was turning in the strange wind and being injured by the rubble that rolled up together.

"Fortunately, I returned to this mansion that just belonged to me, which shows that it is not a dream to meet Lu Dabao, an emperor of Shu who recognizes and values himself, after a lot of hardships and waiting, he can finally show his ambitions from the beginning of the current university. However, what should the great monk do with the strange appearance? He doesn't seem to identify with himself very much...... "Recognizing the surrounding environment, Ouyang Xi lay on the comfortable big bed, thinking wildly, as for how to get back here, it doesn't matter anymore, the key is that he is back again."

"Hey, what is this? Hundred-year-old Poria cocos, how could it be here? By the way, he threw it to me, I remember he also said that if he wants to understand the truth, he will come to look for me, could it be that this Poria is another puzzle?"

Time flies, and ten years have passed in a blink of an eye. In the past ten years, Lu Dabao boldly delegated power, Ouyang Xi tried his best to assist, Guo Xiaotian and the "Five Tiger Generals" worked hard, and the entire "Shu Kingdom" was like a soaring heavenly horse, spreading its wings and soaring into the sky, and the country's strength was increasing day by day, and it was soon strong enough to get out of this winding "White Python Mountain" and compete with the countries outside.

At the same time, Ouyang Xi, who was absolutely appreciated and recognized by Lu Dabao, married a wife and started a family in the past ten years, took concubines and married children, gave birth to children, and passed on the lineage, although the number was not as exaggerated as those generals, reaching dozens of people, but the family system of one wife, two equal wives, and six concubines still allowed him to have five sons and three daughters.

On the night of the first few days, I heard the concubine in the fourth room whispering in her ear, and the concubine in the third room seemed to be pregnant, and she also wanted to give birth to one. For this request, of course, Ouyang Xi gladly accepted, and next, there were rounds of body movements and sonorous and delicate shouts, just as the so-called hibiscus tent warm waves sounded, and spring men and women were busy farming.

Before he met Lu Dabao, Ouyang Yi didn't dare to marry a wife, for fear that it would affect his career and future, or if the enemy family chased after him, his wife and children would become the fetters of his escape, but now, as an ace military division, he can easily mobilize the whole country's soldiers and horses, how can he be afraid of these? As long as the emperor's favor is still there, as long as his power is still there, what are you afraid of having a few children?

As for the hundred-year-old Poria cocos, Ouyang Xi thought carefully about it for a while, but he couldn't think of a reason after thinking about it, so he had no choice but to enshrine it, hoping that one day he could break through the mystery and understand the truth.

However, with the strength of the country, his work as a military division and prime minister became busier and busier, and his leisure time became less and less.

I don't know if Ouyang Xi turned his luck, or the world outside the mountain is actually not terrible, after ten years of lying on the salary and tasting courage, the "Shu State" army quickly expanded outside the mountain, occupying villages, grabbing towns, setting counties, seizing counties, attacking cities, and destroying the country. In just over 20 years, several powerful countries around the "White Python Mountain" have collapsed, and a more powerful "Shu Kingdom" has risen violently.

At this time, Ouyang Xi was nearly seventy years old, and the long years of fighting made him feel a little tired and tired, especially in the face of the corpses of those young soldiers who died tragically under the swords and spears, there would be an inexplicable bitterness in his heart, like pity, sympathy, sadness, and repentance.

And at this time, Ouyang Xi will order someone to take out the offering table that has been following him in the southern and northern wars, there is the hundred-year-old Poria cocos on the table, and when he is upset, he looks at it, hoping to understand something, but with little effect, and many times he will be bored because he sees its ugly appearance, and wants to discard it or crush it, but when he thinks that the main owner who gave this thing is a great monk with profound mana, he endured his resentment.

Carefully calculated, to the powerful "Shu Kingdom" standing in the "Scorpion Demon Continent" of the Demon Dao, Ouyang Xi has assisted Lu Dabao for more than 30 years. This peasant emperor, from me and me, has changed little by little, and now has a certain royal spirit, and his words and deeds will reveal the demeanor of a superior, and his two sons have also grown up under the teaching of Ouyang Xi and others.

However, as the war slowly stopped, the old emperor grew old day by day, and another war without gunpowder slowly kicked off, that is, the battle between the successors, who of the two sons will replace Lao Tzu to sit on the dragoon, is it the eldest or the second? Brother fights, ministers fight, military generals grab territory, scribes make up stories, outsiders seem to be peaceful and comfortable, in fact, it is not easier than in war time.

Twenty years have passed in a blink of an eye, and Ouyang Xi is more than ninety years old. He is not very stable when he walks now, and he needs someone to help him, but he is still conscious, and he is not confused about anything, but he is not like the old and immortal Lu Dabao, who obviously suffers from Alzheimer's disease, and always gets interrupted when he listens to the ministers' reports, but he still occupies the dragon chair and does not pass it on to his two sons.

Ouyang Xi officially resigned from all positions as early as a few years ago, that is, when he was 90 years old, and retired at home with peace of mind. When people are old, they have to retreat when they should retreat, so as to save those young students from saying that we are occupying the pit and not, and we will only delay our efforts.

In the evening of this day, Ouyang Xi's fifth son, who was already a minister of the "Shu Kingdom", went home from the court, and saw that the old father was in a daze about the hundred-year-old Poria enshrined on the case in the front hall, so he asked curiously: "You don't want to rest, what are you doing standing here?"

Ouyang Xi really wanted to talk to his sons, he wanted to solve the puzzle that he hadn't figured out for fifty years, but he couldn't say anything when it came to his mouth, and he didn't know if it was because of shame or some other reason, anyway, he couldn't say it, but his heart was full of unwillingness, as if he had been brilliant all his life, but because of this incident, his glorious life was overshadowed.

The sons saw that the old father had been aggrieved for a long time with his mouth open, but he did not reply, so he couldn't help but guess.

"What's the matter, old man, can't it be a stroke?"

"Is the old man reflecting the light? Why is his face gray and his mouth moving, but he doesn't make a sound?"

"Didn't the old man think of some ghost idea again? Could it be that he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of infighting in the court to let our brothers take advantage of the situation to seize power? Okay, the old man who dared to love wanted to addict the emperor before he died! If this is the case, then you have to listen carefully, if we really seize power, maybe we can also become emperors!"

……

The sons' blind guesses are all in their hearts, and they will never reveal half a word, but it is strange to say that Ouyang Xi actually heard the voices of his sons clearly, every word, every sentence, every thought, every idea, like flies flying around, kept buzzing in Ouyang Xi's ears, messy and very bold, even rebellious.

"You don't ......" Ouyang Xi was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly stared at the hundred-year-old Poria cocos that was enshrined, only to see that it was slightly flooded and flickering, and he secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good, so he turned around and shouted to his sons.

However, at this time, he was already running out of oil, although he wanted to warn his sons not to think about these unrealistic things, the Lu family has the support of masters, and you are not opponents, but you only shouted three words, and then whimpered.

Ouyang Xi left three words for his five sons, and then died, but his soul was condensed, attached to the century-old Poria cocos, quietly watching the family and state he had established continue to develop.

Through the front hall, he clearly saw the descendants running the funeral, crying and wiping away tears, Ouyang Xi knew very well in his heart that he had fallen for the spell of the great monk, and it was estimated that he would not be able to solve the mystery of the hundred-year-old Poria cocos, and he might continue to look at it like this.

The years go by, spring goes to autumn. Three years later, the five sons who returned to the "White Python Mountain" to keep filial piety returned to the national capital one after another and returned to the "Xiwang Mansion". They sat in the front hall where their father died suddenly, discussing the future development of the family and their respective plans. At this time, Ouyang Xi was quietly listening and watching his sons arguing, arguing, and scolding in an invisible form.

The five sons deliberated for a long time, and finally reached an agreement to plot the authority of the Lu family, usurp the throne, and seize the emperor. For this decision, Ouyang Xi was very reluctant to see it, but his sons had grown up, had eyes, and had more ideas, and when they saw the high emperor's throne, their greed swelled to the limit.

What's more, they haven't suffered much since they were born, and they don't know the horror of failure, although they often have their father's teachings, but the brocade clothes and jade food still make them forget their roots, and let them forget who gave them. The kindness between the older generation, the support of the high-ranking monks behind them, and the history of blood and tears of the "Shan" clan, everything that Ouyang Xi had taught them was all left behind under the attraction of the glorious dragon chair throne, and everything was for personal interests and power.

As a result, you don't have to guess to know that the "Emperor Shuwen" who had Alzheimer's disease suddenly understood, and used thunderbolt means to quell the rebellion, kill the rebels, degrade the two princes who fought for power, and support the emperor and grandson to ascend to the throne.

After the incident, everyone reacted, and it turned out that the old emperor had been pretending to be stupid. He was waiting, waiting for Ouyang Xi to die, waiting for someone to stand up and oppose him, waiting for the successor to sweep away the dirt and stubborn stains left behind. And those fools who didn't understand it recklessly participated, thinking that they would get a piece of the pie, but they ended up dying.

Unfortunately, Ouyang Xi's five sons played the role of fools, and they played very successfully, not only giving their family's lives in vain, but also bringing the descendants of the "Five Tiger Generals" with them, just so that the old emperor came to a spoonful of stew, which was miserable.

On the day of the raid on the "Yi Wangfu", the old emperor came in person. He dismissed his servants and entourage, and stood alone in the front hall, looking at the hundred-year-old Poria cocos on the offering table, and wept with old tears. Among them, most of the content is about Ouyang Xi's experience of fighting the world with him, and the less half of the content is resentful of the old brother for teaching his son badly, and occasionally a few words of emotion are memories of the friendship between the two.

It was getting late, and the old emperor, who had been talking for most of the day, finally stopped. He trembled to the desk, stretched out his yellow and emaciated hand full of old age, gently stroked the century-old poria, and said hoarsely: "Old friend, no matter who is right or wrong, we are friends in this life, and I hope we can still be friends in the next life." You're waiting for me over there, and it won't be long before I'm going to be with you......"

When Ouyang Xi heard this, his soul couldn't help but tremble slightly, the hatred and anger that had gathered because the old emperor had slaughtered his family had dissipated a lot for a while, and there was a faint feeling of being connected to the same fate.

If he, Ouyang Xi, had not died so early, but Lu Dabao had died suddenly and left before him, would he have taken the opportunity to seize power? After seizing power, would he not have driven out the Lu clan and killed them all? Would he have said the same thing in Lu Dabao's home? Perhaps, after all, without this old friend, there would not have been his glory for more than 50 years.
