A thousand years ago, Luoyang flowers bloomed and peonies were red.

In the White Horse Temple, when she was four years old that year, she was the high monk Wolong with his right hand to rub the immeasurable Bodhisattva Mahasattva, Master Wolong thanked him for his fate with my Buddha, and gave the name "teacher".

Fourteen years later, she was in her prime, standing proudly in the night in the bustling drizzle of the Northern Song Dynasty.

She held up a bamboo oil umbrella, and between the clouds, the lanterns were gently rippling in the water.

The rain is soft, ticking and falling, which can blow out the brightness in the lanterns, but it can't blow out the fire in the girl's heart.

"Brother Wolong, in the White Horse Temple that year, I said that you should wait for me, and when I grow up and marry you, you ...... Where, exactly? ”

The autumn wind swept up the maple leaves on the ground, fluttering lightly to hold up the girl's hope, and drifted into the distance with the river water in the ripples of the rain, until it floated to the feet of the majestic young man with a hat and a Tang knife on his waist.

"It turned out to be her." Li Yixuan held the maple leaf that floated out of the river with the wind in his hand, and felt that the maple leaf was like fire, which seemed to warm his heart.

This feeling is very strange and seems to be ...... Very good.

……

"Ji Lin, why do I feel that you are a little unhappy? It's me...... Did you say something wrong? Shangguan Xue's puzzled voice pulled Ji Lin back from his contemplation.

"No, I just remembered the story after this painting and calligraphy, and I was just slightly touched." Shaking his head, Ji Lin sighed.

"Judging from the picture, this should be a story of a hero saving beauty, right?"

"Well, let me tell you, this should be the girl named Master Li who was surrounded by the market and then rescued by Li Yixuan, right?"

Shangguan Xue's words made Ji Lin nod approvingly: "Although you are a little woman, you are very smart, and what you said is good." ”

"Li Yixuan was originally a master outside the world, and he once followed Song Taizu as a brother and brother, and laid down the splendid Central Plains."

"Later, Emperor Taizu took the bow and hid a cup of wine to release the military power, and Li Yixuan drank the poisonous wine and spilled it."

"The world thought that he was dead, but they did not think that he was a enlightened man, and that he did not die at all."

"For more than 100 years, Empress Li Yixuan and his descendants, Duan Wang Zhao Ji crossed the horse and the Yellow River brothers."

"King Duan was merciful and righteous, and took out the immortality token, although Li Yixuan was not ashamed of the ugliness of the Taizu back then, he also kept the promise of the year and promised the person who held the order one thing."

Listening to Ji Lin's words, Shangguan Xue was a little stupid, and it took a long time before she asked cautiously: "So, Zhao Ji let Li Yixuan be his bodyguard?" ”

"Why didn't Zhao Ji make other requests, he shouldn't have lacked guards at that time, right? Isn't that also stupid? ”

"Li Yixuan is a fierce general who followed Song Taizu to fight the world, why is he a guard?"

The legend of the Immortal has been passed down since ancient times and is still talked about today.

During the Song Dynasty, although Confucianism was prosperous and the Taoism was poor, but the continuation of the legacy of the Tang Dynasty, in the Northern Song Dynasty when the Southern Song Dynasty sage Zhu Xi had not yet been born, the Taoist immortal doctrine was still very popular.

For example, Zhao Ji of Song Huizong once wrote "Song Huizong's Interpretation of the Imperial Moral Scriptures", and proclaimed himself "Emperor of Shengwen Rende Xianxiao", which shows how much this person longs for immortals.

In this case, it is not surprising that some legends of immortals were popular in the Northern Song Dynasty, which is why Shangguan Xue did not refute Ji Lin.

It's just that even if it's a legend, it's logical, right?

If Zhao Ji really got that immortality token, why didn't Zhao Ji let Li Yixuan just be a guard?

"He's stupid? He's not stupid. Ji Lin shook his head, his gaze a little sentimental.

……

Later generations commented on Zhao Ji and said that he "can do everything, but he can't be the king's ear".

The meaning of this sentence is that Zhao Ji, a man of humanities and martial arts, is very good, but he can't play political tricks, and he is not the material for being the emperor, which eventually led to the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Zhao Ji is very smart, the dispute between the prince at that time has reached a white-hot stage, and various conspiracies Yang have emerged in endlessly, although Zhao Ji does not know how to play politics, but he is not without ambition to win the world.

At this time, Zhao Ji obtained the immortality token left by his ancestors, went to the Immortal Valley of Zhongnan Mountain alone, and finally invited Li Yixuan, a land immortal.

Li Yixuan, who was made by Ji Lin's pseudonym, is not known as the land immortal Zhao Ji.

But Zhao Ji understands that the person who can live in the ice and snow of Zhongnan Mountain must be a peerless master.

Let Ji Lin be his guard, it is Zhao Ji who expects Ji Lin to use immortal means to change his life.

Ji Lin lived up to his trust and contributed to the trouble from the secret, so that Empress Dowager Xiang felt that Zhao Ji was very filial and worthy of being a son of man.

Then Xiang Xiang pushed forward strongly against public opinion, and finally achieved Zhao Ji's imperial throne.

For the Empress Dowager Xiang, Zhao Ji was grateful.

As for Ji Lin, Zhao Ji had brotherly affection in his heart, and did not do everything he could like Song Taizu.

In fact, those cronies who followed Zhao Ji in the Duanwang era were all doing well after he became emperor, and Zhao Ji still took good care of the old people.

This is why Zhao Ji used to call Ji Lin "brother" at that time.

If it weren't for Ji Lin's insistence on refusing to enter the office, and he would return to Nanshan at the end of the three-year period, how could Zhao Ji let Ji Lin be a mere guard.

It's just these secrets, Zhao Ji is destined not to tell his personal "Tai" and "Prison" Yang Jian.

Until his death, Zhao Ji never divulged this secret to others.

……

"This Master Li, could it be that the world-famous Qinglou woman, the ancient woman Master Li?" Shangguan Xue nodded fixedly, as if she understood something.

"Yes, this woman is that Master Li, Li Yixuan was ordered by the emperor to contact Master Li."

"But I never thought that this was the beginning of a bad relationship." Ji Lin nodded, smiling a little bitterly.

Over the years, it should be a good day, and there are thousands of styles, and who to say!

Too many people and things have been wasted back then, and at that time, Ji Lin just recognized Master Li as his sister and didn't think much about it.

Unexpectedly, some things happened later, which made Ji Lin's heart slowly melt.

……

I have to say that Shangguan Xue's dishes are really delicious.

It's just simple ingredients and cooking techniques, but Ji Lin has eaten the taste of the court dishes of the Tang Dynasty.

"I studied the history of the Tang Dynasty, and my ancestor was Shangguan Wan'er, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, because of my family history, so I also have some research on the dishes of the Tang Dynasty."

When the candlelight flickered, seeing that Ji Lin looked at him with a somewhat strange gaze, Shangguan Xue's face was slightly red, and he lowered his head and said softly.

"Although the eldest husband has no wife, if anyone can marry you in the future, it will definitely be a great joy in life."

Satisfied with wiping his mouth from the napkin, Ji Lin smiled and said something that made Shangguan Xue raise his eyebrows, both excited and a little apprehensive.

This...... Does it mean anything? In Shangguan Xue's nervousness, Ji Lin suddenly stood up.
