Autumn is as cool as water, and the stars are shining.

Zhao Yun looked up at the night sky, deep and secluded.

"General, it's so late, where are you going?" The door of the mansion creaked open, and the housekeeper Zhu Bing was a little sleepy-eyed, "I'll arrange the horses!" ”

"Go to the Prime Minister's Mansion." Zhao Yun said a few words and stepped out of the door.

In a short time, the horse was brought in, along with two attendants.

"General, go early and come back early." Zhu Bing closed the door.

CD, a city that has been lived in for many years, is so quiet at night, and when it is approaching, Zhao Yun is on his horse and runs all the way to the Prime Minister's Mansion in the east of the city.

As soon as the autumn wind blows, the past flies -

"In the past, I went back, the willows are still around, and now I think about it, and the lewd rain is ......"

Looking at the huge Yaowang tree shattering and the wind and waves hit, even Zhao Yun, who was far away in the South China Sea, was shocked.

Pang De, General Cao, who tracked the Master of Yin and Yang all the way to the South China Sea, brought back all the Cao Cao generals who participated in the Battle of Yaowangshu, and General Wu also took a boat under the leadership of Gan Ning.

Tongque Terrace has been completely scrapped, and only a pile of broken copper and iron remains.

sank to the bottom of the sea.

"Zilong, although you came back safely, I still want to tell you something." Zhuge Liang had been waiting in Guzhou for three whole days before waiting for Zhao Yun.

"Are you trying to say that in addition to the Asura King's Truthfulness and the Truthfulness of the Asuras, there is another shadow hanging over the Medicine King Tree, right?" Zhao Yun's words made Zhuge Liang a little surprised: "You know? ”

"It's a feeling I'm familiar with." Zhao Yun looked at the shadow of the remnants of the trunk of the Chinese Medicine King Tree in the distance in the rain and mist, "On the eve of the Red Cliff War, I also met this person, and this person has a special ability to implant some information into people's last consciousness. ”

"Consciousness of the end? Is that the seventh consciousness on the sixth consciousness? ”

"Exactly, and the information he implanted is all negative, even terrifying, and can make people hallucinate terrifyingly." Zhao Yun turned his head and stared at Zhuge Liang, "This person, his name is Sima Yi, this time, he also came, but he didn't show up, he sneaked into the Medicine King Tree in the form of information, so even the Asura King didn't notice it, because the Asura King is only a divine consciousness, but the last consciousness has not yet opened." ”

"Sima Yi, is Sima Fang's son?" Zhuge Liang had heard of this person, "What is his purpose?" ”

"It's not very clear, but this person will not only become our enemy in the future, but also Cao Cao's enemy." Zhao Yun was shocked, Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan, "Okay, no matter what he does, as long as Zilong is here, hehe, we won't be afraid of him!" ”

It's time to go.

The sound of horses' hooves was particularly loud on the blue-brick paved road, and Zhao Yun slowed down so that the two attendants could follow.

In the distance is the Imperial Palace, and in the entire CD City, only here are still brightly lit.

Zhao Yun turned a corner, turned his back in the direction of the palace, turned into a small road, and increased his speed.

In front of it is the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Today's prime minister is Zhuge Liang.

After the Battle of Yaowangshu, Cao Cao killed Ma Teng, fought with Ma Chao and Han Sui, and fought several battles with Sun Quan in the east, but he didn't get any bargains, and Liu Bei took the opportunity to enter Shu and became the lord of Yizhou very smoothly.

Dong Xian, after being rescued by Zhao Yun, was called by Liu Bei and married Pang Tong, but during the conquest of Yizhou, Pang Tong unfortunately died, and Dong Xian then killed himself and left with her husband.

Liu Bei attacked Hanzhong, the battle of Dingjun Mountain, the veteran Huang Zhong beheaded Xiahou Yuan, Huang Zhong was ambushed by Xu Huang and Zhang He because of the light enemy, Zhao Yun immediately went to the rescue, and finally rescued Huang Zhong, but Xu Huang and Zhang He took advantage of the situation to kill, Zhao Yun opened the camp gate, and one person stood across the camp gate, Xu Huang and Zhang He saw that it was Zhao Yun, and they were already scared for three points.

"He's playing tricks, we have a lot of soldiers, it's better to kill him!" Zhang He really wanted to avenge Changbanpo's revenge, Xu Huang crossed the golden axe and stopped Zhang He: "No, I expect him to have an ambush, and even if he is alone, there are thousands of troops, what can he do!" ”

After speaking, Xu Huang arched his hand and smiled: "Zilong, don't come to harm, right?" ”

Zhao Yun stared at the two coldly and didn't say a word.

Xu Huang was bored, so he had to order a retreat.

Hanzhong entered the hands of Liu Bei, as if it had the atmosphere of the ancestor Liu Bang back then.

"Zilong is full of guts!"

Thinking of Liu Bei's admiration back then, it seems to be in my ears. Zhao Yun added a whip, and the horse sped up.

Guan Yu, the head of the Five Tiger Generals who guarded Jingzhou, defeated the army led by Pang De and Yu Ban, and was about to attack Cao Cao, but was attacked by Lü Meng, and finally lost not only his own life, but also Jingzhou.

Liu Bei did not listen to the persuasion of Zhao Yun and Zhuge Liang, and insisted on revenge, Zhang Fei drank and whipped the soldiers because of excessive grief, but was cut off by Fan Qiang and Zhang Da.

In the first battle of Yiling, Liu Bei was burned by Lu Xun and retreated to the White Emperor City, and died depressed.

Before Cao Cao died, Cao Pi succeeded to the throne, and after Liu Bei, Liu Chan succeeded to the throne, which was the queen master.

At this time, Zhao Yun was also dying.

I don't want to be crisscrossed for decades, and Zhao Yun has gray hair and white beard.

The Prime Minister's Mansion was still brightly lit, and when the guards at the gate saw that it was Zhao Yun, they hurriedly opened the door: "The old general came here late at night, it's really hard." ”

Zhao Yun arched his hand and said, "The prime minister hasn't rested yet, right?" ”

The guard smiled, "It's time, right?" It's still early, and it's the prime minister's halfway point of work. ”

Zhao Yun nodded, let the guards lead the horses, and ordered the entourage to wait outside, these two entourages were very familiar with the guards, and immediately took out some vegetables and vegetables, and the guards were very happy when they saw that there was something to eat. As soon as a few people closed the door, they chatted and munched.

The Prime Minister's Mansion has been here countless times, and although Zhao Yun is superb in martial arts, he still walked into Zhuge Liang's back room in accordance with the curly corridor.

Zhuge Liang was writing hard under the lamp, and when he heard someone coming in, he didn't raise his head, and said, "Zilong is here, sit." ”

Zhao Yun sat down and looked at it for a while, Zhuge Liang finally finished writing, rolled up the bamboo scroll, and rested on the top of the bamboo slip that was high on the left hand side.

Zhuge Liang took a sip of tea, and Zhao Yun saw that he was busy for a while, and said busily: "The prime minister wants to go on the Northern Expedition?" ”

Zhuge Liang glanced at Zhao Yun, leaned back comfortably, and said, "Is there this idea, but I haven't talked about it with Your Majesty yet, what does Zilong think?" ”

Zhao Yundao: "The Northern Expedition needs to be accumulated, and it is ...... at this time"

"I know your concerns." Zhuge Liang said with a smile, "But now, Ma Chao is dead, Huang Zhong is no longer there, among the five tiger generals, you are the only one, Zilong, and you and I are no longer young, so I can't wait!" ”

Zhao Yundao: "In that case, who does the prime minister plan to take with him?" ”

Zhuge Liang raised his head and thought for a while, and said, "Ma Yan, Wei Yan, Zhang Yi, Liao Hua, Ma Dai, Wang Ping, and you." ”

Zhao Yun heard Zhuge Liang put Ma Jian first, and sure enough, the news he heard was true, and he hurriedly said: "The ancestor once instructed that Ma Jian is not of great use if he exaggerates, why should the prime minister entrust him with a heavy responsibility?" ”

Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "Zilong, you only know one of them, but you don't know the other, when Meng won the southern expedition, it was Ma Jian who suggested that he should attack his heart and surrender his heart, which coincides with me." Ma Jian has served for many years and has made meritorious deeds, so there will be no problem with him. ”

Since Zhuge Liang said this, Zhao Yun couldn't say anything, he thought about it and said, "Prime Minister, I still have one more thing." ”

"Zilong, if you have something, just say it, do you still need to be so restrained?"

"I ...... After this battle, regardless of success or failure, I would like to beg for bones and no longer go to the battlefield. ”

Zhuge Liang was silent, Zhao Yun knew that this Northern Expedition was difficult to succeed, Zhuge Liang was not a person who did not know the right time, place and people, but was forced to be helpless and exhausted himself to do his best to serve Liu Bei. Hearing that Zhao Yun was going to retire, Zhuge Liang was of course heartbroken.

"I didn't expect Zilong to be war-weary."

"Zilong was war-weary when he was young, this time I don't want more people to die in vain in the war, only to increase Zilong's sin, Zilong's life, he has to kill people as a last resort, he knows that he is guilty, please be tolerant of my old age, retire and be happy." Zhao Yun really begged to retreat, he felt that his end was coming.

Zhuge Liang nodded heavily with tears in his eyes, then sighed and said: "I will apply to Your Majesty, and I hope that Zilong will fight the last battle and help me transfer grain and grass, and after holding heavy pressure, I will lead the army to crusade against Wei!" ”

Zhao Yun got up and didn't say anything anymore, but after thinking about it, he still had to say: "The prime minister should also take care, today I want to say the last sentence, which is also true: the general trend has been decided, and it is beyond the power of manpower to recover, why increase the number of dead and increase the suffering of the people!?" ”

This sentence, like a knife pierced Zhuge Liang's heart, looking at Zhao Yun's distant back, Zhuge Liang's heart was like a knife, thought for a while, the night was already halfway over, he still couldn't calm down, trembling picked up the pen, soaked in ink, spread out the bamboo slips, thought a little, and began to write: the first emperor started a business not half, and the middle way collapsed, today under three points, Yizhou is tired, this Cheng is in danger of survival, and the autumn of this Cheng is also ......

A few years later, another autumn night.

Zhao Yun was dressed in plain clothes, grabbed the wine glass with trembling hands, sprinkled it on the ground, slowly stretched out his fingers, and stroked the words on the tombstone one by one:

The Tomb of Green

His lips moved, and without saying a word, he slowly stood up.

Although he is over 70 years old, his body is still very strong and abundant, but he has been hidden in his body for many years and has never been released.

He walked through the garden to his hut, looked around, surrounded by walls, and sat down slowly, staring out the window at the bright moon.

The moon is bright and the stars are scarce, the black magpie surrounds the trees, and the sky of Shu is rarely clear.

The candlelight is flickering, the branches and leaves are swaying, and the sound of frogs gurgling outside the window is a lot.

It has been more than fifty years since I came back from the Great Qin Kingdom that year.

Under the shadow of the moon, a figure slowly appeared.

Zhao Yun stared intently, it was his mentor Tong Yuan.

Still so young, smiling, walking slowly.

"Zilong, don't come to harm, are you?"

Zhao Yun hurriedly got up, walked out of the house, and slowly bowed: "Master, Master, Master......" I couldn't say a word, and I burst into tears.

Tong Yuan slowly stroked the top of Zhao Yun's old head: "Birth, old age, sickness and death, the world is impermanent, you have a lot of achievements in your life, you have a pure heart, I said when I taught you that I will always come to see you in the future, today, I will come to pick you up." ”

Zhao Yun trembled all over, and the huge truth hidden in his body suddenly flourished.

"Your nature is not old, it will not die, you see, it is getting stronger and stronger, compared to when you were a child, it is really incomparable. Old, it's your body, would you like to change your body? Tong Yuan's voice, like an initiation, made Zhao Yun feel cool.

"Master deliberately hides from you all your life, and at this time, it's time to tell you the truth." Tong Yuan paused and said: "Your will should not be so depressed, don't be defeated by old death, self-nature is an immortal body, Zhao Yun, you listen well, let go of everything, and a longer cultivation in the future is still waiting for you, you will follow me, leave here, leave the six realms of reincarnation, and march towards the supreme Bodhi fruition." ”

Zhao Yun raised his head and stared at Tong Yuan.

"You saved this world, and next, I want you to help me save another world, a world more important than this!" Tong Yuan smiled, "Twenty-eight layers of heaven! ”

"Asura King!" Zhao Yun suddenly realized.

"Exactly, your mission is not over, but you must let go of everything in this world."

Zhao Yun closed his eyes and said with a smile: "This is easy, the disciple has been studying the Amitayus Sutra for many years, and he has long been able to let go of everything humane, so go with the master, this is also my wish for many years." ”

Tong Yuan smiled: "Very good, very good, say goodbye to your monarch father, and then we will leave immediately." ”

Zhao Yun got up and went back to the house, he felt that he was back to his youth, his whole body was full of great compassion, and he immediately wrote hard:

"The minister's life, the waves are treacherous, he travels all over the world, he makes close friends when he is young, goes to the Japanese country, cuts off the unpredictable heart of foreign races, and then goes to the Western Regions with the high monk An Shigao, reconciles yin and yang, appeases Daqin, cherishes the ambition of heroes, gives up the love of children, and often hopes for the revival of the Han dynasty. Yi said: Tianxingjian, a gentleman strives for self-improvement. However, the time is also, the situation is also, the mandate of heaven can not be violated, the ministers follow the first emperor, rush to the country, support the Han family in danger, save the people from fire and water, only hope that the world is harmonious, the people are healthy, not the only husband who wants to be in power, the first emperor and the minister are dedicated to this, and the prime minister also feels the sincerity of the first emperor and goes out of the mountain to assist.

In his life, he had countless adventures, the ancestor of the assassin Taoist Zhang Jiao, Zhanwen Chou, Changbanpo blood-stained white robe, the savior of Wu Land, although he was loved by the first emperor and was named the general of the Five Tigers, but he was often ashamed. This minister is also the personnel of the subdued demons, there is also the demon to save the world, the Emperor of the War, the king of the fire of the nectar, the search for the beast weapon, the nine beasts, the heart and mind to save the world in the apocalypse, the building will be overturned, but the ancient years, the minister is dying, the prime minister is also well-dressed, exhausted, can not repay the grace of the emperor in case, the minister often misses the childhood encounter An Shigao, the change of the time, non-human force can do, but let go of attachment, delusion and greed, eradicate the demons, will be a pool of horizontal in the heart like a mirror, no waves, with the fate and mercy of things, Fang is not in vain.

Going with the ancestor Tong Yuan and traveling the universe is the wish of Yun's early years, and the long-cherished wish of Yiyun and his sister Meiyou Pingping, the way of heaven and the path of Asura are not calm, and at the invitation of the master, he should say goodbye, and the cloud should be in the underworld, helping all beings to get rid of suffering and be happy. May Your Majesty be clear, and the Prime Minister will be clear. Yun Yi has decided, no more words, tears are falling.

Yongchang Pavilion Hou Dun's first hundred worships"

A gust of wind blew the candle and shook it, and the elderly Zhao Yun tightened his clothes, but saw a white light light outside the window, and a voice in the light said, "Are you ready?" ”

Zhao Yun helped the paper, flattened the paper with a paperweight, and finally glanced at the paperwork that had not yet dried, looked at the few pieces of furniture in the room, picked up the spear "Water Killing" leaning against the wall, and said to the light: "Let's go!" ”

The candle went out.

The night of Shu returned to its former tranquility.
