Chapter 48: Generations of Generations
"Brother Xin, these grandsons want to arrest you so much, do they have a crush on your people, or do they fall in love with your sword?"
"What do you say? Less nonsense, eat! ”
Judging from the chat between the two disciples of the Xuantian Sect, the matter of the night walk of the underworld soldiers and the transformation of Ao Tian's corpse into a demon seems to have become known to the world. But there is a suspicion here that Lu Xin can't figure out.
The underworld soldier acts at night to close the entrance to the underworld, and Ao Tian has a clue to the immortal revival grass on his body. Either way, it's a secret. For any onmyoji, there is enough weight to bury it in the depths of his heart and not reveal half a word. Moreover, there was also a trace of the divine soldier that night, and Yan Fu and Ji Yunmeng would definitely not make a big splash. The two sect leaders don't say it, who of the disciples below dares to go out and spread the news?
"Could it be Yu Chi Baolin? Probably not, the people in the court don't want the ghosts and gods to spread all over the city. If the people of the world know that there is a gate of the underworld in Lingyang Mountain, then it will be repaid? ”
While eating, Lu Xin recalled the scene of that night, and always felt that something was wrong. It wasn't until the two Yang sisters arrived that he remembered a picture that was almost ignored.
At that time, Yu Chi Baolin, the two elders of the Shangxuan Heavenly Sect, and the two masters of the Hundred Flowers Valley. The five of them broke into the Underworld Army formation at the same time, and after that, the people from Wuxiangmen came over and said that they wanted to form an alliance with Yangxiu and Yangqin. As soon as the two sisters left on their front feet, a white light like a disc appeared in the sky above the Underworld Army formation on their back feet. It was this light that blew a big hole in the wilderness. Ao Tian was blasted into the ground, and then the corpse changed!
"That light is obviously not Yan Fu's spell, nor is it like the magic power of the Hundred Flowers Valley. But Ao Tian's corpse transformation was caused by it. Could it be that at that time, Yan Fu and the others didn't see something strange? ”
"You mean, Ao Tian suddenly turned crazy, is someone doing it behind his back? Is this a conspiracy? ”
After listening to Lu Xin's speculation, Yang Xiu suddenly put down his chopsticks, and his face became very strange. Sixty years ago, there was also a night march of the underworld soldiers in Xuanzhou City. At that time, it was the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Kyushu was in turmoil, the princes were divided, and not many people noticed that there were a group of underworld soldiers walking by in the small city of Xuanzhou. But some horrific things happened back then, but not many people knew about it.
And the two Yangxiu sisters are just a few people who know the old things sixty years ago.
"Sister, listening to Lu Shaoxia say this, some things are indeed very coincidental. Daddy said that after the underworld soldiers stopped in Wenchang Town, there was also a terrifying soul bell. Shortly thereafter, a white light shaped like a moon disk was beating in the sky above the military formation. It's just that at that time, this white light did not attack Ao Tian. You say, these two lights, could it be that the same person is doing ghosts? ”
"The same person? And it's been 60 years...... If this is the case, then this person's cultivation is so unfathomable! ”
Yang Xiu's face changed completely, and she obviously preferred to believe that the appearance of the two white lights was just a coincidence. Otherwise, it's terrifying. It was a force that could break through the Five Elements Dao Technique of the Heavenly Realm master, and it appeared once every sixty years. If it weren't for the coincidence, then it's possible that all of us have fallen into an elaborate trap.
This was true 60 years ago, and it will be the same 60 years from now.
"Zhenguan for three years, go back to sixty years, I calculate...... In the first year of Chen Taijian in the Southern Dynasty and the fifth year of the Tiantong of the Northern Qi Dynasty, Yang Guang, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, was born...... Damn, it's been a rough year. ”
The scholar listened to the conversation, and he couldn't interject, he folded his fingers and counted. When it was said that Emperor Yang of Sui was born sixty years ago, the two sisters of the Yang family looked at each other in shock, then lowered their heads and never spoke again.
Lu Xin was in a coma for three days, and he couldn't eat much when he just woke up. A table of meals, also because of the heaviness of the atmosphere, did not eat much. Even the usually greedy scholar only drank a few sips of wine this time, and rarely went to pick up vegetables, let alone eat. The two disciples of the Xuantian Sect walked out of the restaurant one step ahead of the five, and they didn't know where they went. Lu Xin wanted to say goodbye to the Yang sisters, but Yang Xiu insisted on taking him to Wuzhou to detoxify.
"Ao Tian's physical body has been immortal for three thousand years, and after such a long time, the physical body does not know how much filth in heaven and earth it has to absorb. Once the corpse is transformed, it is extremely poisonous. Although Lao Langzhong's acupuncture method is clever, it can only force the poison into the meridians and not attack the heart and lungs. But once the two of you use martial arts, or use spells, you will definitely be poisoned. When the time comes, I'm afraid that only the Da Luo Immortal will be able to save you. ”
"Yes, Brother Xin, you see that I haven't won high school yet, and I haven't married a daughter-in-law, so you can't die first. What's more, the two girls invited you with a kind invitation, how big is the face of the two of you? Muzhou, Manzhou, Wuzhou...... These places are all places where Miao people have lived for generations, and the vast mountains are mysterious and unpredictable. If you refuse to go, you will be the stupidest and stupidest donkey in the world. ”
As soon as the scholar heard that he was going to Wuzhou, he couldn't wait to raise his hands and feet in approval. The moon is not dark and sees it on the side, and naturally there is another ridicule.
"Che, you want to see the girl, right? Lustful, the emperor thinks you don't want to catch up with the scientific examination. ”
"Whew! You are an unfair and motherless fox, mysterious Miao Jiang, 100,000 mountains, that is the place I have always dreamed of. Forget it, I can't talk to you shemale. Brother Xin, let's go, leave him alone. ”
"Then the two girls will be bothered."
……
Qinxi Town is located between Xuanzhou and Chizhou, and there is a river leading directly to Poyang Lake. According to the two sisters, as long as they bypass Poyang Lake, they can enter the boundary of Jiangzhou, and then go west to Yuezhou and enter Dongting Lake. Then along the branch of Dongting Lake, all the way to Wuzhou. According to Yangxiu, this is the fastest way to get to Wuzhou. But even if you take the whole journey by water, it will take ten days or even half a month.
This way of travel is obviously extremely troublesome for Lu Xin, a modern person from 2018. But in fact, the land of Kyushu, from ancient times to the end of the Qing Dynasty, the inconvenience of travel is the same. This is also why, there are so many myths and legends of "flying in the day" and "Dapeng spreading its wings for 90,000 miles".
The Yang sisters found a merchant ship that had been carrying goods for many years on the wharf in Qinxi Town, and the boatman was a young man in his early twenties, who was said to have relied on water for food for generations. Panyang Lake is located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and was the largest freshwater lake in the Tang Dynasty. Its water system has many branches, extending in all directions, and the water covers more than a dozen surrounding states and counties. Therefore, this area has been developed commercially since ancient times, and tourists are weaving.
Although the boatman is young, he has been going back and forth between Poyang Lake and many branches since he was a child, and the boat he supports is still very stable. Perhaps they have been in a state of exhaustion for the past few days, and the two sisters of the Yang family fell asleep shortly after they got on the boat. It seems that it is the first time to take a boat and play in the water outside the cabin alone. Lu Xin and the scholar couldn't sleep, so they chatted about some of their experiences.
When talking about Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty in the previous dynasty, the scholar who had always been heartless and tired was a little indignant.
When Yang Guang was crowned king of Jin, he personally led his army south and destroyed Nanchen Jiangshan. After ascending the throne, he personally conquered Tuguhun, conquered Goguryeo three times, reformed the official system, enshrined the imperial examination, and treated martial arts, how similar is it to His Majesty Taizong? Although later generations scolded him for his tyrannical expropriation, he did not care about the life and death of the people. But all the time enjoy the convenience brought by the Grand Canal of the Sui Dynasty. Today's scholars keep saying that they want to use history as a mirror, but they do not distinguish between merit and demerit, do not distinguish between right and wrong, and blindly insult the previous dynasty. ”
The scholar looked at the river outside the cabin, his eyes were like torches, and he talked. His tone was rarely serious. Even, word by word, he brought in his own views on the government. Lu Xin has known him for so long, and it is the first time to see him talking about the court and the world in a serious manner.
"The ancients said, self-cultivation, family, governance, and peace in the world. It seems that Brother Tu's heart is filled with more than just beauties and wine and meat, hahahaha......"
"Brother Xin, you can't learn from that dead fox and dog to look down on people. Since I Tu Chengli made up my mind to study Mingzhi, although the belly is filled with Jinglun pen and ink, the chest has always been the world's people. His Majesty Taizong's grace and opening this time is precisely to select people who can assist him in governing the country and leveling the world. Therefore, this time to Chang'an, I am bound to get a Zhongjinshi. Since Emperor Taizu entered Guanzhong, it has been three years since Zhenguan was established, and the Tang Dynasty has only been established for more than ten years. Looking back at the previous dynasty, it is easy to fight the country, but how difficult is it to defend the country? Yang Guang's fate is still vivid, once a surname destroys the country, it is a small matter, but the people of the world are poisoned by war. His Majesty Taizong is a king with great ambitions, if I can assist him, why worry about the Tang Dynasty for thousands of generations? ”
The more the scholar spoke, the more excited he became, got up and walked to the stern, full of spirits, pointing out the country. Looking at the scholar's back at this time, Lu Xin couldn't help but think of his cousin.
Two years ago, on the streets of Xiaoxi Town, Lu Tingfang also talked about the world like this, scolding Fang Xuan. That should be the dream that every teenager should have, even if he is not a king, he must stand above those ten thousand people.
But that's not Lu Xin's dream!
"Eternal? Brother Tu, do you really believe that there will be a dynasty in this world that can be immortal and immortal? ”
Standing at the stern of the boat and watching the waves roll all the way, Lu Xin suddenly asked. Hearing this, the book was silent for a few seconds, and then he raised his head and laughed.
"Hahahaha...... Absolutely! Counting the past and present, from Qin Shi Huang to Yang Guang, which emperor doesn't want to live forever? If we don't have this heart, how can we scholars assist Mingjun, help the world to govern the country, and calm the world? Brother Xin, in this world, only when the country is peaceful, can the people live and work in peace and contentment. The court of thousands of generations did not exist before, and even now it does not. But I believe that in 500 years, a thousand years, there will always be. ”
"A thousand years from now? Hahahaha...... I hope it can be as Brother Tu said. We had a good conversation today, and if there is wine, I should toast you! ”
Lu Xin held the mast with one hand and put the other hand on the scholar's shoulder, smiling very heartily. The people around him, although the chicken thief is a little more lustful. But he did not lose his duty as a scholar in his bones, but instead thought about governing the country with the world in his chest. Such a person is naturally worth befriending.
But just as Lu Xin was laughing, the scholar who was still in high spirits a second ago suddenly shuddered and squatted down on the spot.
"Brother Xin, let's stop blowing it yet. Look at the boat in the back, who are the people on board? ”
