Chapter 3: The Mystery of Life
Jiang Jue followed the Shen Bu caravan from Sanmiao through Yuancheng and Phoenix City, and then entered Qidi from Wuling, and arrived through Gucheng.
"Shen wishes Gongzi a smooth trip," Shen Bu arched his hand and said, "If you go further through Meng and Jiao, you will reach Jianling Pass, and after passing Jianling Pass, you will arrive at Song Land." ”
Shen Bu made a big detour, this is another favor. Jiang Jue returned the salute and said: "Shen Dahu, please also send my wife to Ba Guo to find a person named Wu Quji, if you can't find it, you will be temporarily placed in Bayang Lu's house." ”
Jiang Jue wants to go to Luoyi, so naturally he won't take Miao Miao with him, it is enough to have Shi Shi and Zhao Miao follow. Jiang Jue stabbed Jiang Wangshu with a sword, that sword not only hurt his people, but also hurt his heart, Jiang Jue had a guilty conscience, so he didn't dare to entrust Miao Miao to Jiang Hou.
"Husband, I'll wait for you." Miao Miao took Jiang Jue's hand and was reluctant to let go. The two never knew each other and had nothing to do with each other, but when they came together, Jiang Jue felt guilty, not only for Miao Miao, but also for Jing Qijun. Miao Sheng said that Jing Qijun and Qi Guanzhuang had gone to the mountain, and the mountain was naturally Mount Emei, so he didn't have to worry about it for the time being.
The three of them rode forward, calculating that the days were less than seven days away from the summer, and they didn't know if they could catch up.
In addition to Wucheng, he arrived at the land of Meng Jiao, Meng Jiao was really embarrassed between Song and Chu, and joined the Five Nations Alliance under the persuasion of Qin Huai to crusade against the Song State under the banner of "respecting the Son of Heaven and holding the princes", and ended up in a situation of cutting land and seeking peace, and because Gongsun Lin used the pretext of Meng's cattle border to eat the seedlings of Chu State, so he raised troops to crusade, and the two countries were erased.
Meng Lan is a native of Meng, to be precise, the declining nobles of Meng.
In addition to the land of Meng Jiao, he arrived at Jianling Pass, and Jianling Xiongguan stood majestically on the Qinling Mountains, and Jiang Jue's hometown revisited with some emotion. But now is not the time to sigh, rushing to Luoyi is the right thing.
Passing the customs can be regarded as a thrill, but fortunately, the guard general did not know Jiang Jue, although he was a little surprised by the size of the stone, but he was still allowed to go. After passing the Jianling Pass, the road was unimpeded, and he had already entered the Song Land, Luoyi, not far away.
Luoyi is the largest city in the world, there is no doubt about this, even Yingdu can't catch up. For more than 400 years, the capital of Dali was in Luoyi, and later after Dali moved the capital, Luoyi returned to Qiao, and then fell into the hands of Song Xiao.
Half of the world's talents are in Luoyi. This is not nonsense, after all, Luoyi has Luoyi Academy. Although Song Xiao regarded Luoyi as a private backyard, there were fewer saints, sages, and talents in the world, but almost half of them were still in Luoyi.
"Stone, what kind of sacrificial wine has Luoyi Academy Palace had?" Jiang Jue asked.
Shi looked at Zhao Miao with a look of help, and Zhao Miao said: "Lao Tzu, the founder of the Daojia School, was one, and since Lao Tzu, the morality of the world has been the study of Huang Lao; Later, there was Lao Tzu's second disciple Yin Yin, and the one who admired was still Huang Lao's learning; Later, Zichou went to Luoyi School Palace to discuss the Tao with Yin Yin for three days, Yin Yin resigned from the position of sacrificing wine and returned to the Taoist Mountain, and the morality of the world also changed from the learning of Huang Lao to the way of a gentleman; After Zichou was martyred, he was Zou Gu, this Zou Gu is not a gentleman, and he also vainly claimed that Zichou was able to love him and Meng Lan half each, he was dressed in the skin of a gentleman, but he had a bad heart of the Zongheng family. ”
Jiang Jue shook his head and said: "Wrong, after Zichou, before Zou Gu, the sacrificial wine of Luoyi School Palace is me, it's me, it's me." ”
"Childe is not right." Zhao Miao said slyly.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Jue asked.
"After Lao Tzu, before Yin Yin, there is another sacrificial wine," Zhao Miao said matter-of-factly, "That sacrificial wine is Lao Tzu's first apprentice, senior brother Yin Yin, and also Taifu Dali." ”
Jiang Jue's heart trembled, he knew that Xuanlang also had an identity as Dali Taifu Langxuan, but he didn't know that Xuanlang was once a sacrificial wine in Luoyi Academy.
"Why did Childe come to Luoyi?" Zhao Miao asked.
"Because Mr. Meng is coming." Jiang Jue said.
"Childe is here for Mr. Meng?" Zhao Miao said, "Shizun will also come, he is naturally here for Gongzi." ”
"Childe doesn't know Shizun's hard work, although Shizun is on the mountain, he still keeps taking care of you, and sends Senior Brother Bai to visit every year." Zhao Miao said.
"Since he can't rest assured that my mother and I can't rest assured, then why don't you take our mother and sister to Emei? He can't even do that? Jiang Jue asked.
"Shizun didn't want to involve Gongzi in this troubled world, he just wanted Gongzi to live his life in peace," Zhao Miao replied, "Besides, the old lady is stubborn, refuses to recognize Shizun, and refuses to accept Shizun's help." Shizun originally planned to take the jade cicada to Emei to practice swords, and then go down the mountain to marry you, which can protect you. ”
"And where was he when I was in trouble?" Jiang Jue asked.
"When Gongzi was in trouble, Shizun also sent Senior Brother Bai to accompany him all the way, Jianling Miao Kuang was killed by Senior Brother Bai, and Lord Zikuang insisted that Gongzi was Zichou's descendants, and Senior Brother Bai conveyed it." Zhao Miao replied.
"So I'm really not a descendant of the ugly?" Jiang Jue stared at Zhao Miao and asked.
Zhao Miao nodded and said: "Mr. Zichou has never married in his life, and he has an only son who cultivates in Zhongshan Guojue Mountain, and this matter is extremely secretive. Zixiu is the father of the son, he and the woman of the master are in love, and the two live in Jueshan. ”
Jiang Jue tried his best to keep calm, this involved his own life experience, he had already missed it once when he was in Emei, and he didn't want to miss it again. He stroked his chest, smoothed his breath, and said, "You go on." ”
"After Xiao Guo learned of the secret of Yujue, he first robbed Mr. Zichou's Yujue, and then crusaded against Zhongshan. Zhongshan was powerless in front of Xiao Guo, and in the end there was only one city left. Zixiu died in the chaos, and the old lady was already pregnant with her son. Zhao Miao said.
"Shizun was framed by Song Xiao and was robbed of Yujue, and then he returned to Emei under the pseudonym Xuanlang. Qishan Sword Pavilion is in Emei. Zhao Miao said.
"Dali has two pillars, the cultural context is the Luoyi School Palace, which is in charge of the morality of the world; Martial arts is naturally Qishan Sword Pavilion, clearing the four realms. It's just that the Qishan Sword Pavilion has been dilapidated in the hands of the master, so it has been hidden. Qishan Sword Pavilion has four veins, and the descendant of Shaoyang is Senior Brother Bai, known as Fubai of Qianlong; The three veins of Shaoyin, Lao Yang, and Lao Yin all betrayed. ”
"At the time of the fall of Zhongshan, Mr. Zichou and He Tianzi entered Qishan to invite Qishan Sword Pavilion to be born, and only three jade jue were collected at that time. However, Yu Jue was not a thing that summoned the Sword Pavilion to be born, so at that time, more than 100 people from the Qishan Sword Pavilion were born, and they destroyed the Xiao Kingdom in one year, except for Senior Brother Bai, all of whom died in battle, and only Senior Brother Bai left his name. ”
"In fact, after Senior Brother Bai killed Hussei Weiling, he was ordered to take the old lady out of Yanzhou and prepare to take refuge in Emei."
"Didn't you say that Mr. Zichou and He Tianzi went to Qishan to ask the Sword Pavilion to be born? Why do you say he's in Emei? Jiang Jue asked.
"Shizun appeared in Qishan just to show He Tianzi, after all, He Tianzi is weak, his mother Empress Dowager Kou and Song Yao, the mother of the country, are too strong, Shizun and Mr. Zichou are worried that He Tianzi will leak the news, and this is just to hide people's eyes." Zhao Miao said.
"At that time, when Senior Brother Bai escorted the old lady from Yanzhou to Emei, he encountered countless assassinations on the way, and the old lady fell from the horse, so the son was an idiot before, and he should have fallen." Zhao Miao carefully checked Jiang Jue's face.
Jiang Jue suddenly felt funny, no wonder he was an idiot, it turned out that he fell. He waved his hand and said, "You go on." ”
"At that time, when Senior Brother Bai and the old lady arrived in Tongxi, the old lady was in unbearable pain and gave birth to a son, a month earlier than the expected delivery date." Zhao Miao said.
Jiang Jue's face was expressionless, not only did he become an idiot before he was born, but he was still a premature baby.
"The old lady stayed in Tongxi and refused to leave, that is, from this time on, she began to hate Shizun." Zhao Miao said.
"Didn't you say there were a lot of chases along the way? Why was my mother able to raise me until I was ten years old? Jiang Jue asked.
"At that time, many out-of-town refugees fled to take refuge near Bayang, so no one noticed the old lady mixed in the crowd, and all the people who were chasing and killing all the way were killed by Senior Brother Bai," Zhao Miao said, "At that time, it happened to be the autumn harvest and the Hefeng Festival, and Shi and I were the chosen sacrifices." Senior Brother Bai came by treading water like an immortal, and then saved me and the stone and took him to Emei. ”
Jiang Jue pursed his lips, it must be Zhao Miao talking nonsense, how can there be people who tread water? But thinking of Junyi again, he asked: "So Fubai came to Zongxi once a year to pick up the Hefeng Festival, and then kidnapped boys and girls to raise in Emei?" ”
Zhao Miao nodded and said, "If it weren't for Senior Brother Bai's action, I'm afraid that Tongxi would have two fewer children a year." Then Senior Brother Bai fell in love with the eldest daughter of Yuniu, and there is not much to say about the details, anyway, it is a hero to save the beauty. It happened that Yuniu's young daughter Yuchan and Gongzi were born one day, so Shizun asked Senior Brother Bai to set this family matter for you. ”
Jiang Jue nodded, so what Yuniu said about Yuchan went with her uncle was true, and Fu Bai was really her uncle. It's just that Jiang Jue really wondered why the two women born to the opaque Jade Cow, who was obviously a farmer, were extraordinary, one could be favored by Fu Bai, and Zhao Miao also said that it was a hero to save the beauty, so naturally it was a person. As for Yuchan, Jiang Jue was already beautiful when she saw it in Emei, and she was not much better than Qiaoyu, who had the appearance of a sinking fish.
"So the master's hard work, the son really misunderstood." Zhao Miao said.
Jiang Jue didn't speak, although the truth was revealed, and his life experience was revealed, he really didn't have any affection for this white grandfather.
"Let's talk about that Yujue again." Jiang Jue asked.
"There are four pieces of Yujue, and the Son of Heaven and the Third Duke each hold one in their hands. The jade jue of the master fell into the hands of Song Xiao, and the jade jue of the Son of Heaven was the one in Qin Huai's hand, and later fell into the hands of Song Xiao, and now it has been stolen by Yun Liang. Zhao Miao said.
"Yun Liang? But Yun Liang who plugged the plains? Jiang Jue asked.
He remembered that there was an old herdsman named Yunliang in Saishang Mangyuan, and he had a son who could drive wolves and tigers, known as Saishang Eagle Yunge; He had a daughter who had a tooth mark on her shoulder, which is now healed. Jiang Jue shook his head, the old herdsman didn't look like a notorious thief no matter how he looked at it.
"I don't know," Zhao Miao continued, "He Tianzi's Yujue was handed over to the eldest son, Gongzi Xian, who lived in seclusion in Bashan, and Gongzi and him should have had a holiday, and then fell into Qin Huai's hands by chance. ”
Peach blossom farmer, Jiang Jue didn't just have some festivals with him, four of the six bandits in Bashan died in his hands, is this a little festival? It's just that Jiang Jue is curious why He Tianzi's eldest son also lives in seclusion in Bashan.
"Gongzi Xian was born to Mrs. Ritan, and Mrs. Ritan is the eldest daughter of Ritan Boxian. Gongzi was idle for a few days before Song Yao's son Gongzi was cold, so in order to protect the word "Childe", Mrs. Ritan entrusted He Tianzi to send Gongzi Xian out of Lidu and become an ordinary person before she died. He Tianzi wanted to give Yu Jue to Gongzixian as a token, and then designed to fake his death, so Gongzixian lived in seclusion in Bashan, and he had a good relationship with Jianghouke. Zhao Miao said.
Jiang Jue naturally knew that Jiang Wangshu's wife was Ri Qin Duruo, the youngest daughter of Ri Qin Boxian, so whether he was a peach blossom farmer or a son-in-law, he had to call Jiang Wangshu an uncle, but this did not prevent Jiang Jue from having a grudge against him.
"Lord Zikuang's jade jue was passed on to Zitang, and it is estimated that He Tianzi borrowed it and gave it to Empress Dowager Kou or Song Yao, anyway, this jade jue fell into the hands of Song Xiao again." Zhao Miao said that she was just guessing, after all, it was a new thing that happened recently, and the news was not so well-informed.
"What is the use of this jade jue? Since they didn't summon the Qishan Sword Pavilion, what did He Tianzi and Song Xiao do when they rushed around? Jiang Jue said the question in his heart.
"Because the real Jade Jue secret is only known to Lord Zikuang, Shizun, and Mr. Zichou, even He Tianzi doesn't know either," Zhao Miao said, "The real use is only known by Shizun." Because He Tianzi and Song Xiao didn't know, so with Senior Brother Bai's behavior of destroying Xiao Guo, they all thought that this Jade Jue could summon Qishan Sword Pavilion to be born, so they competed. ”
"Wait." Jiang Jue had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he couldn't catch it.
"Childe wants to ask where there are only three jade jue, and where is the fourth, that is, the jade jue of Lord Zichou?" Zhao Miao smiled slyly.
Jiang Jue nodded, he just thought of this, it seems that Mr. Zichou's jade Jue was neither handed over to Meng Lan nor Zou Gu, is it? Jiang Jue had a guess in his heart.
"Childe guessed correctly," Zhao Miao said, "Childe's name Jue is the will of heaven, and Shizun also thinks that this name is excellent." Childe is the fourth jade, isn't it? ”
Jiang Jue suddenly remembered that in the west of the house, behind the house, in the small bamboo forest, his mother buried a small dirt bag there. He suddenly remembered that his mother had made him kneel in front of the earthen bag during the New Year's holiday, and at that time he had always thought that his father was buried there.
"Childe, Luoyi has arrived," Zhao Miao said, "Childe, you can rest assured, the master is always there." ”
Jiang Jue held Zou Gu's black horse in his left hand, and Du Ruojian in his right hand, took a deep breath, and set foot in Luoyi again.
This time, he is no longer an idiot, he is no longer a chess piece, he wants to be a gamer, a game player who talks with the saints.
Jiang Jue brought one less thing, that is, a volume of "Jiahe" and the Six Arts Sutra left in Jiangfu, Yingdu, but it didn't matter, it was already in his heart.
Jiang Jue has one more thing, and that is a sword skill, a sword skill called Kenshin.
