13, the gods appeared

Bai Ziyun and Gongsun Chan left Huai Fang's house and got into the carriage again, and the carriage began to gallop slowly, but Gongsun Zhan's face was slightly unhealed.

Bai Ziyun glanced at him and asked, "Bogui, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Master......" Gongsun Zan hesitated for a moment and said: "Master, now that the imperial court has regarded my immortal sect as irreversible, I am afraid that there will be a battle after all in the future, this time the Red Immortal Army is attacking the desert, why do you want to let Huai Fang help the Red Immortal Army?" ”

Bai Ziyun frowned, glanced at Gongsun Zan deeply, and said slowly: "Xianbei is a foreign enemy, and the fight between my Xianmen and the imperial court is a brotherly dispute within my Han people, how can I fake my hands on others?" If it spreads, it will damage the reputation of my immortal sect. What's more, the Han court and the field are rotten, in the territory of the Han Dynasty, the barbarians are in turmoil, bandits are everywhere, the government and the opposition are turbulent, and the current situation is not chaotic, but it is just relying on the profound prestige of the Han Dynasty in the past, if the 30,000 red immortal army is defeated, the prestige of the Han Dynasty is afraid that it will come to naught. ”

Gongsun Chan pondered for a while, nodded and said, "What the master said is reasonable. Does the master think that the Red Immortal Army can win? ”

"It's hard to say, the Red Immortal Army in the desert is not the home field, the 30,000 Red Immortal Army have practiced the Dragon Elephant Prajna Gong, although the force is strong, but it has not yet reached the realm of invulnerability, the Xianbei cavalry is good at riding and shooting, as long as it is not facing the enemy head-on, it is easy to annihilate it with a strong bow around it." Bai Ziyun finally shook his head and said, "And it is impossible for Huai Fang to blatantly help each other, I think the final result of the imperial court's expedition is likely to be a big defeat." ”

Gongsun Zan was slightly stunned, he didn't expect the master to be so optimistic about the imperial army.

"The court is too dizzy. In the past, Xianbei was Koubian for many years, didn't the court ignore it? ”

"I guess I want to stand up." Bai Ziyun said with a smile.

"Hmm." Gongsun Chan nodded. Now the realm of the Han Dynasty is chaotic, and the wealthy businessmen of the family have learned a lot of martial arts. Everyone began to be restless, and the imperial court had these 30,000 troops to deter a former powerful opponent, and the immortal gate couldn't bite anymore, so they stared at Xianbei in the desert. Xianbei was very powerful in the past, but the 30,000 Red Immortal Army had all cultivated the Dragon Elephant Prajna Gong, and the imperial court thought that it could be easily handled.

"Master, this year's martial arts conference is coming soon, and this year's top ten are still mostly children of the family." Gongsun Chan changed the subject rather worriedly.

Bai Ziyun said helplessly: "This is something that can't be helped, cultivating martial arts requires a lot of grain, grass and medicine. Where do people usually consume it? ”

"But in this way, the number of disciples of the Xianmen family is increasing year by year, isn't this against the master's original intention?"

Bai Ziyun looked at Gongsun Chan and said with a smile: "Bo Gui, what do you say is the most fundamental contradiction between the powerful family and the people of Lishou?" ”

Gongsun Zan was stunned for a moment, he only knew martial arts, and he understood these political things, after thinking for a while, he didn't know, so he shook his head and said, "The disciple doesn't know? ”

Bai Ziyun was slightly disappointed and said, "You can see this question almost every day. You go to the countryside at a glance, you don't know? ”

Gongsun Zhan's face was flushed, and he said ashamedly: "Master, disciples have never thought about this question in ordinary times. Please also ask the master to instruct. ”

Bai Ziyun saw that he was embarrassed, and he was no longer embarrassed, and said: "The contradiction between the two has been just land since ancient times. ”

"Hmm. Well. Gongsun Chan nodded, but he didn't think so.

"Land annexation is getting worse now. The land in the hands of the common people was in the hands of the wealthy families, and they could only become tenant farmers. Pay rent to the landlord, fornication, rent and tax gradually increase, the slightest natural disaster will be in danger of starvation, you see our Zhuo County every year a large number of refugees flee, these refugees are so poor in disaster resistance? It's not because the land is not in his hands, he pays a lot of rent, pays heavy taxes, and has no surplus food in his hands. ”

When Bai Ziyun arrived in this world, he understood the hardships of the ancient peasants, most of the grain they had worked hard to grow for a year fell into the granaries of the landlords and the imperial court, and he could only eat half full every day, barely making ends meet. Originally, the Han Dynasty could last for so many years, and the system has always been able to maintain the peasants to live, but in recent decades, the world has changed greatly, natural disasters have been repeated, and the court has been chaotic, resulting in serious annexation of land by the powerful family, and finally it has become the current situation.

Gongsun Zhan's face showed anger and said: "The emperor is mediocre, the eunuch party is a disaster, the court is in the opposition, and now the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are all flies and dogs, and the Han Dynasty is so troublesome." The master has the ability to reorganize the dynasty and set things right, why is he confined to staying for a long time and not coming out? ”

Bai Ziyun was slightly stunned when he saw him indignant, this is the first time he has seen this apprentice reprimand him, with the continuous improvement of the power of Xianmen, he already has the ability to win the world, Bai Ziyun's disciples and subordinates have gradually become ambitious, some want to use Xianmen to improve the now erosive Han Dynasty, and some want to use Xianmen for personal gain, Bai Ziyun knows these things, but he is helpless, people have selfish desires and ideals, and they can't ask everyone to be as pure as themselves, not attached to the world, and dedicated to immortals, right?

Bai Ziyun smiled gently: "This matter you said has already been considered by the teacher, and after a while, the teacher will go to Luoyang." ”

Gongsun Zan was immediately overjoyed, and asked Bai Ziyun for guilt: "Master, the disciple lost his temper for a while just now, and I hope that the master will forgive the sin." ”

Bai Ziyun waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's just a trivial matter." ”

Gongsun Chan smiled slightly and asked, "When the master went to Luoyang, did he plan to put the imperial court in his hands?" ”

Bai Ziyun smiled leisurely: "I will go alone first to see how the imperial court is?" Is there any salvation? If it's really unbearable and terminally ill, I don't mind changing an emperor or a different dynasty. ”

He said it lightly, but Gongsun Zhan was terrified when he heard it, but he knew that his master did have the confidence to say this, and he could only pray that the emperor in Luoyang would not be so ridiculous that the master would not be able to see it.

Suddenly, the carriage stopped with a bang. Gongsun Chan poked his head out and asked, "Have you arrived?" ”

The groom frowned and said, "No, someone is blocking the way." ”

Gongsun Zhan looked over and saw a young woman kneeling in front of the carriage in the forest path. Fixedly looking at it, all around was quiet. It was a dark green, and the woman's face was delicate. He has a slim figure and a green shirt that complements the woods.

Gongsun Chan asked, "Who are you?" Why block the way? ”

When the woman saw that Gongsun Chan was handsome and chic, and her appearance was extraordinary, she simply shouted: "Your Excellency, please make the decision for the little woman!" ”

"Your Excellency?" Gongsun Chan said with a smile, "I'm not a Venerable One, my name is Gongsun Chan, little lady, but what trouble did you encounter?" Or is it a dispute between the rivers and lakes? You should go to the yamen or the six doors. Please get up. Don't bother me to wait for the carriage to go. ”

The woman was slightly stunned, but she didn't get up, and said, "General Gongsun, my family's population of 100 was killed overnight, please Xianmen to be the master of my family?" ”

Gongsun Zhan was slightly startled, and asked in a deep voice, "Is it a matter of the rivers and lakes?" ”

The woman nodded, "Yes." ”

"Then you should find six doors."

The woman bit her lip slightly, and said, "The little woman has already been there, but the steward over there told me that the six gates are only in charge of the martial arts disputes in Zhuo County, Shanggu County and Yan Kingdom." It is inconvenient to meddle in other places. ”

"What?" Gongsun Chan frowned and asked, "Where are you from?" Where did the murder take place? ”

"In the Bohai Sea of Jizhou."

Gongsun Zhan suddenly showed embarrassment, Jizhou is indeed not under the jurisdiction of the Six Gates, and at this time, Bai Ziyun's clear voice came, "Bogui." You go to the Six Gates with her, see what the situation is, how it does violate the "Law of Martial Arts" and accept it. ”

"Yes." Gongsun Chan jumped out of the carriage. He smiled at the woman, "Let's go, I'll go with you to the six gates." ”

The woman stood up suddenly. He looked extremely excited, staring at the carriage. Excitedly asked, "Gong...... General Gongsun, is it in the carriage? ”

"Yes." Gongsun Chan smiled and said, "Why was your family killed?" ”

"It's for a kind of glazed stone." The woman took out a crystal clear stone from her arms, handed it to Gongsun Zhan, looked around, and said softly: "This kind of stone is not a mortal thing, but a divine stone, which contains spiritual energy and can be absorbed by people. ”

"Reiki?" Gongsun Chan was taken aback, and hurriedly took the stone, looked at it, pinched it again, and then looked at the woman suspiciously.

The woman smiled, "You try to put the stone in the palm of your hand, and then use the palm of your hand to absorb the stone." ”

Gongsun Zhan did his luck according to his words, and sure enough, a huge cold current flowed out of the stone and into his hand, and he carefully realized that it was indeed no different from the aura, and it was very pure.

"This ...... This ......" Gongsun Chan was stunned, speechless for a while, what is this stone, it contains so much aura.

Suddenly, the stone in her hand flew up from her hand and disappeared in an instant, and the woman saw that there was a man in a white robe standing in the carriage, and the stone was in the man's hand.

Seeing that the man was elegant, his eyes were as bright as stars, as if he had a powerful magic power, the woman couldn't help blurting out: "You, are you the Lord?" ”

"Huh?" Bai Ziyun nodded, looked at the crystal clear stone, and said, "This is the spirit stone, little lady, where did you get it?" ”

"Spirit stones? It's a fitting name. Then the woman said with a sad face, "There is a tall sacred tree in the mountain behind my Yejiazhuang, two zhang thick, dozens of zhang high, usually admired and worshiped by the villagers of more than ten nearby villages, very effective, my sacred stone is given by the sacred tree." ”

"The Sacred Tree?" Bai Ziyun frowned and asked, "Does your divine tree usually show miracles?" For example, dreams and the like. ”

The woman nodded and said, "Naturally, I often dream of chatting with Grandpa Shenshu, he is a very kind deity. Just given by those robbers...... I cut it down, and Grandpa Shenshu never gave me any more dreams. As he spoke, his eyes turned red, and tears fell like pearls, which was touching.

Gongsun Zhan saw her and I saw pity, his heart softened, and comforted: "Don't worry, since your Divine Tree Grandpa is a god, he will naturally not be killed by mortals, and when you go home, you can dream of him again." ”

He was so comforted on his lips, but he didn't think so, what she said about the Divine Tree Grandpa is probably just some strange dreams, recently her family door has changed dramatically, and her mind is heavy, I'm afraid that now the dreams are all family tragedy, where is there any mind to dream of the Divine Tree, and when the six doors avenge her blood revenge, the hatred in her heart is appeased, and she will naturally dream of things that she often dreamed of before.

Gongsun Chan has been with Bai Ziyun for so long, and naturally he has also learned some knowledge such as dreams, and now he doesn't believe that the so-called human dream realm is the realm of ghosts and gods, but it is just a person's miscellaneous thoughts.

Gongsun Zhan's ideas are very scientific, but Bai Ziyun does not have such scientific ideas as him, but his mind is full of thoughts of ghosts and gods, but he believes what this woman said like the ancients, that Grandpa Shenshu is very likely to really exist, and the spirit stone in his hand is proof.

Spirit stones are very widespread in modern fantasy novels, basically saying that spirit stones are a kind of ore veins that condense spiritual energy, but in reality, this is not the case. The spirit stone is actually the product of the gods, and it is a very important thing for the gods, just like the essence and blood of human beings, the spirit produces the spirit stone body to be weakened, and this girl can get the spirit stone given by the god tree, and it seems that she is very favored by the god tree.

"Little lady, in Xia Bai Ziyun, dare to ask your surname Fang's name?" Bai Ziyun asked.

The woman wiped her tears and said slightly: "The little woman Ye Qingluo has seen the Venerable." ”

Bai Ziyun comforted softly: "Miss Liang, don't worry, although your Divine Tree grandfather has been cut down, as long as the villagers continue to worship, they can still survive, before you come to Zhuo County, do all your villagers still worship the Divine Tree?" ”

Ye Qingluo's eyes lit up, and she nodded: "It's true that they are still worshipping, so is it really okay for Grandpa Shenshu?" ”

"Yes." Bai Ziyun nodded and said, "Why do you see why we mortals worship gods? It is because the gods need the faith of mortals, and only if mortals believe in the gods, the gods can be lazy to survive. So, as long as the villagers near the Divine Tree continue to believe, then your Grandpa Divine Tree will be fine. ”

"I see." Ye Qingluo can be regarded as having a long period of knowledge, thinking of the deeds of mortal priests and gods, she felt that Bai Ziyun's words were very reasonable, so she put her heart at ease and was grateful to Bai Ziyun for being able to comfort herself so much.

Bai Ziyun looked at the sky and said: "It's late today, little lady Liang, you live in Baijiazhuang for a day first, and we will rush to your hometown tomorrow." ”

As he spoke, he handed the spirit stone in his hand to Ye Qingluo, but Ye Qingluo shook his hand and said, "This artifact will be given to the Venerable." ”

"Huh." Bai Ziyun said with a smile: "This seat doesn't need this, and this kind of spirit stone will gradually increase in the future." ”

Ye Qingluo nodded as if she didn't understand, Gongsun Zhan's heart was full of doubts, and asked, "Master, what is this spirit stone?" How can there be so much Reiki? ”

"Spirit stones are the product of the gods, and only they can produce this thing." Bai Ziyun glanced at Ye Qingluo beside him and said vaguely.

"A product of the gods?" Gongsun Zhan was taken aback and said in shock: "Is there really a god in this world?" ”

"Hmm." Bai Ziyun nodded, "If the spirit stone appears, then the gods must be there." ”

Ye Qingluo was very puzzled, weren't there many gods and spirits in heaven and earth since ancient times? But why do the two seem to say that the gods have appeared? (To be continued......)
