19. Niu Er's persuasion

Jin Wutian, located in the center of Taixu, is the place where Xihe lives.

Under Xihe's seat, there is Chang Geng, who is close to the Jade Seal Palace, and sits in Taibai, there is Firefly, who is in charge of the affairs of Jinwutian, and sits in Tianlitian, and there is Tai Sui, who is in charge of the army of 200 million heavenly immortals, and sits in the military god Tian.

Xi He rested on the Sumeru seat in the Jade Seal Palace, quietly looking at the palace gate.

"The great god of Xuan Ming arrived, and he lost his welcome and paid off his forgiveness. ”

Xuan Ming stood at the palace gate and said coldly: "You don't need to be pretending to be there, let me ask you, where is Fusang?"

Xi He slowly flew down the Sumeru seat, came to the palace gate, and said calmly: "It's dead." ”

"What?" Xuan Ming looked up at him with resentment. "Why did you call him back, did he go against your will and take his life?"

Xihe was silent, flapped his wings and returned to the Sumeru seat, buried his head in the wings, and said dejectedly: "We just chose our own fate, and the great god, will you face your own fate?"

"Don't play dumb riddles here, why did you recall Fuso? Xuan Ming swung the snake's tail and swam to the front of the Sumeru seat and said sharply.

Xihe pulled his head out of his wings and calmly looked at Xuan Ming: "You should also be able to see that Fusang has been aging since three thousand years ago. It wasn't that I called him back, but that he took the initiative to die for me. ”

"I've said enough, you are a god who existed at the beginning of the world, and with your knowledge, it is not difficult to see the doorway. ”

"I've come to the comfort of my fate. But you, instead of recovering the power you lost in the void, but instead asking me to ask for sin, what's the point?"

Xuan Ming was dumbfounded, and after a long time, he muttered to himself: "Impossible, Shi Yuan guitar...... No wonder, Fusang would take a mortal as an apprentice, but ......"

"Xuan Ming God, has the long confinement made you lose the ability to think?" Xi He interrupted Xuan Ming's whisper sternly. "The seal is broken, and it will soon be noticed by the entire Taixu god, if you don't get your strength back as soon as possible, what do you care about Shi Yuanji?"

With that, a black sphere condensed out of thin air on Xihe's chest, and this sphere slowly floated in front of Xuan Ming, exuding an aura of annihilation.

"It's ...... My power. Xuan Ming looked at the ball obsessively and carefully swallowed it into his stomach.

"That's only part of the story. Xihe put his head into his wings again and said slowly. "I wanted to collect all the power of annihilation, but the wolf thought that I would release you sooner or later, so he fought against me, and the rest of the power was still in his hands. ”

Xuan Ming snorted coldly, and said nonchalantly: "He is just a god of light created by me, how can there be a suitable way to store the power of annihilation? ”

"It's that Shi Yuanji who makes me more and more interested. It seems that not enough has been done on him, and I have to put him to good use. ”

Xuan Ming glanced at Xihe and found that he was unmoved at all, and couldn't help but be puzzled.

"Don't you care?"

Xihe was still unmoved, and said softly: "Xuanming God, good luck to you, I'm going to rest." ”

"Then you will die, old and lazy three-legged crow!" Xuan Ming threw down a cruel word and walked out of the Jade Seal Palace.

......

In Jinwuguan's study, Shi Yuanji packed all the books and stuffed one into the seed bag.

These are the most valuable inheritances left to him by Mi Sida, and the books in the study room add up to more than 100 catties, and he is reluctant to throw them away. Fortunately, the small seed bag has enough storage space for all the books.

He looked at the place where he had grown up, inexplicably falling into memory. Mi Sida's voice and smile are like yesterday, the stern face when teaching Shi Yuanji's knowledge, Shi Yuanji's busy figure when he is sick, and the laughter and laughter of the master and apprentice during the New Year's holidays, I remember every moment clearly.

But that's all in the past. Thinking of this, Shi Yuanji put the last book in the seed bag, and planned to go to the bedroom to take all the silver and embark on the road of wandering.

Niu Er didn't know when he came to the study, his eyes were red, and there seemed to be tears in the corners of his eyes.

"Shi Dao Chief, where are you going?" asked Niu Er.

Seeing Niu Er's appearance, Shi Yuanji didn't know how to answer, and said helplessly after being silent for a while: "I don't know either, let's take a step and see a step." ”

Niu Er looked out. Carefully closed the door of the study, and whispered to Shi Yuanji: "Shi Daochang, I have a place to go, you listen to it and make a reference." ”

"Where to go?" Shi Yuanji still trusted Niu Er, and when he saw that Niu Er wanted to help him, he stopped packing up his things and listened to him.

"You'd better go to the capital, take the entrance exam for Chengyun Pavilion, and become a Tai student!" Niu Er said categorically.

When Shi Yuanji heard this, he was a little unimpressed: "Second Uncle Niu, who doesn't know the name of Chengyun Pavilion, and the enrollment conditions of Chengyun Pavilion are also well known." ”

"The students in there are either the children of nobles, or they are recommended by dignitaries from all over the world, plus a few children from poor families to add a faΓ§ade to show justice. ”

"I just offended Li Yao, and I'm a small person on the northern border. If you are not a dignitary, and you are disliked by the government, how many of them are likely to enter if you go to take the entrance exam? Don't think about it. ”

After that, Shi Yuanji checked the seed bag, liquidated the items he carried, and stopped thinking about it.

Niu Er was anxious, and hurriedly said: "Shi Daochang, it's different now, after the new emperor ascended the throne more than ten years ago, he began to recruit talents, especially people from poor families. ”

"Where did you know?" Shi Yuanji still didn't take his words seriously and continued to pack his luggage.

"The merchants from the capital in the merchant ships in the town all said so. Niu Er saw that Shi Yuanji didn't care, and was quite anxious, so he hurriedly persuaded him.

When Shi Yuanji saw this, he wondered: "Second Uncle Niu, what's wrong with you?"

Niu Ertong's red eyes left tears, and he couldn't hold back the bitterness in his heart anymore, and finally cried: "Shi Dao Chief, after Li Yao blasted us away, I knew that the land in Xiaoyu Village was going to change owners." At that time, I thought it was nothing, and I still had to live my life. ”

But who would have thought that Ding Yunzhi sent someone to inform him from door to door, saying that he would pay forty percent of the rent in the future, and if anyone didn't pay, he would be blown away. ”

"Forty percent?" Shi Yuanji was shocked, he put down the seed bag and stood up suddenly. "The government will harvest 50% every year, and he Ding Yunzhi will collect 40%, so there is only 10% left in your hands?"

"Counting the food for eating, the food for trading, and the rest for seeds, this is definitely not enough. ”

Niu Er choked up and said, "But isn't it? If you want to survive this winter, you have to borrow grain, and if you can't borrow it, I'm afraid you will have to freeze and starve to death." ”

"No, this is too unreasonable, I'll go and reason with Ding Yunzhi!" Shi Yuanji put the seed bag on his waist and walked out the door in a hurry.

Niu Er hurriedly stopped him and persuaded with a frightened face: "Shimiao Zhu, don't be impulsive." Haven't you seen it yet? That Ding Yunzhi is a hypocrite with a kind face and a black heart! At this time, he is waiting for you to come to the door. Otherwise, how can he have an excuse to move you? Don't be impulsive!"

Shi Yuanji was awakened by his words and sat at his desk decadently. He remembered that Ding Yunzhi hid behind Li Yao without saying a word, and after Li Yao drove the villagers away, he revealed his true face.

Ding Yunzhi said anything decent in front of Shi Yuanji, but it was not a clever robbery, he was really a scheming smiling tiger.

"Then what should I do? If he really collects rent like this, how many of the 46 families in Xiaoyu Village will survive this winter?

Niu Er's tears still couldn't be stopped, and he choked up and said: "Shimiao Zhu, the forty-six households in our Xiaoyu Village can all rely on you." I beg you, you must go to Chengyun Hall to enroll. ”

"If you want to take back the Golden Crow Temple, you have to have a more valuable identity than the Ding family. We ordinary people used to rely on military merits, and we could still make a name for ourselves. But now that we don't fight with the demon clans in the West, we can only rely on the name of the Tai Student. ”

"As long as you study in Chengyun Pavilion, it is very likely that you will serve in the capital, and there are many possibilities to take back the Golden Crow Temple, which is better than hitting the east and the west. ”

"The Ding family is just a wealthy merchant in Haitang Town, a little salt official, if you make a name for yourself in the capital, then you can take back the Golden Crow View safely!"

Shi Yuanji let out a long sigh and found that he really had only one choice. Just like Niu Er said, you have to have good roots to take back the Golden Crow View in a bright way. But he is a mountain and wild person, and if he wants to have a valuable identity, he can only go to Chengyun Pavilion to try his luck.

In addition, there is no good way, you can't be a mountain king and take it back by force, right?

"I see, even if it's for you, I'll go back and give it a try. Shi Yuanji calmed down and continued to pack his luggage. "But don't get your hopes up too much, it's still a question of whether you can get into school. ”

Niu Er wiped his tears with relief: "If you can think about us, I will be satisfied, Mi Shenxian has taught a good apprentice." ”

Niu Er said a few more words, and then went home, leaving Shi Yuanji's lonely figure and sighing alone.

"In a hundred years of life, everything is worried, how many families are happy and how many are worried?" Shi Yuanji muttered to himself.
