"I think about playing all day long, can I think of something else besides playing? You can follow the military advisor to study tactics or something. Bai Chu said.

Xiao Qiao covered his ears and said loudly: "I don't listen, I don't listen!" As he spoke, he grimaced at Bai Chu.

"You girl, it's even more difficult than Cai Wenji." Bai Chu shook his head and looked at Xiao Qiao.

Bai Chu turned to the military advisor and said: "I came back this time to reunite the two of them, that man is called Pei Baohu, and he has known Gongsun Li for a long time, according to the current situation, he should stay in our Wu Kingdom." Be well treated. ”

The military advisor nodded and said to Bai Chu, "Okay, Your Majesty, please rest assured." ”

Bai Chu walked up to Gongsun Li and Pei Baohu and said to them, "You guys talk slowly first, I'll go back first." ”

There is a legend among scholars about Chang'an City: in the middle of the night, the unbeaten dusk drum echoes and knocks on the mysterious door, where the glow of the past is hidden.

This legend is recorded in the Book of Heaven. The Book of Heaven carries wisdom and history. Of all the accounts, the most fascinating are the twelve miracles that once existed in the world: yes, miracles. Just like the Tower of the Sun, which was destroyed at the hands of Hou Yi, and the Dongfeng Altar, a weapon of mass destruction, they are powerful enough to change the face of the entire region. Did the master know the secrets of these miracles before entrusting Master Mozi to rebuild Chang'an. It is said that this great city, which was guarded by the walls of the machine and the cannon, was built on a cornerstone that has existed since ancient times. It is the source of power that drives all the organs of Chang'an City, and it can be called the heart of Chang'an.

That "door" was placed on this cornerstone, cobwebs, dusty and inconspicuous. People come and go from the "gate" without noticing the "door", and a creature has been watching every move of Chang'an City since a long, long time ago.

It listened in silence. Someone is planting a seal of the Demon Path, someone is smuggling into dangerous institutions, and someone is planning a mysterious conspiracy...... None of it escapes its ears and eyes. It is forever cold, coldly watching the coming and going of human beings, observing the change of the lord of Chang'an City and the setting of the sun and the moon. It is not shaken by the trivialities of the human world, and does not meddle in the arguments and intrigues of mortals. It will always remember the purpose of its existence, its mission, to protect the cornerstone and the city built on it. Perhaps it is not only the first resident of Chang'an, but also the true owner of Chang'an. As long as it is within the boundaries of Chang'an, no one can resist its power. Because its strength is closely connected to the heart of Chang'an. It's there, Chang'an is there.

The only time it appears before the eyes of mankind is at midnight. Since its establishment, Chang'an has been implementing a strict curfew system. When night falls, people can only stay in the square, and Suzaku Street, which runs through Chang'an City, is empty. When the hour comes, the drum beats and the door opens. It began to patrol its city, purging it of any life it judged to be ghostly: those who tried to destroy Chang'an. Its massive body, piercing into the ancient chaos, is powerful enough to devour any rebels and throw them into eternal darkness.

That's right, this is the true face of the ghost of Chang'an. Humans who have seen it from afar have spread false rumors and regarded it as a "ghost". As everyone knows, in its eyes, the guy who tries to challenge it and challenge Chang'an City is the little ghost who jumps the beam.

Even so, there are still many people fumbling around, trying to figure out how to bring it down. They know its horror deeply, but even this fear cannot overcome the desires in human nature. What made them fascinated and crazy was the mysterious door where the manager of Chang'an was located. This "door" leads to many, too many mouth-watering mysteries: the Trap, the Demonic Path, eternal life, time, and ...... Wisdom of the roots.

How many have died in the void in search of this wisdom? It has long since ceased to count. Garbage should stay in the trash.

Everyone has something they love. Because I don't want to lose no matter what, I will suffer from both gains and losses. Whether it is an emperor or a general, or a poor orphan, they will have such an obsession. For this reason, they will turn to people who claim to be able to predict the future and diviner good fortune and evil, solve their doubts, and give them advice, just to keep their hearts.

Let's say that Emperor Taizong was a generation of Ming monarchs in the past. At the beginning of the troubled times, his famous generals once led the iron cavalry to the Western Regions and recruited the people who resisted the demon seeds according to the Great Wall, which was the predecessor of the Great Wall Guards. Later, a fortress was built in the distant King's Canyon to bring the Central Plains into peace.

Taizong has three sons-in-law, all of whom are very good and outstanding, especially the crown prince, who is a well-cultivated heir. But probably seeing his father doting on his second brother made him faintly worried in his heart. In order to maintain the position of the prince, he did not hesitate to turn to the world's scholars. The results of the master's divination were very unfavorable to Prince Qian. The crown prince couldn't accept it, and even became angry and threatened to execute him. But the entourage's knife cut down, and only one peony bloomed in place, and the master disappeared without a trace.

In the end, the unscrupulous prince's rebellion was exposed. But Taizong's love for his son was very strong, and he only exiled him. In order to save the lives of his three beloved sons, Taizong set up the generous and benevolent King of Jin, that is, the first emperor, to succeed him. Many years later, with this period of the past, in addition to the praise of the first emperor, there is also the legend of the peony monk.

Time has passed, and now it is the time when the empress is in power. She ordered the Taishi Bureau to recruit capable people to observe the stars and revise the calendar. Many people applied for the recruitment, but the most outstanding one was a monk who was good at growing peonies. His name is Ming Shiyin. People have said that this person is the disciple of the legendary peony monk. These market words even reached the ears of the empress, and she summoned Ming Shiyin out of curiosity. Ming Shiyin presented three hexagrams, each of which corresponded to the prediction of a battle for the Great Wall guards. And these predictions came true within a few days.

The empress was very surprised. She has a strong ambition and wants to make the prosperous world permanent, which is a wish she has never let go. Whether this alchemist's prediction comes from a hexagram or a strategy, it will definitely be able to help him. So he ordered Ming Shiyin to be rewarded heavily, but Ming Shiyin refused. All he wanted was a small courtyard in Chang'an City, where he could cultivate peony flowers and play chess with his disciples.

He got his wish. Soon, the name of the peony alchemist, along with the extremely accurate divination and the disciples of the genius chess player, instantly became famous in Chang'an City.

There was only one person who had many doubts about this mysterious monk. This is the empress's henchman, Chang'an Sheriff Di Renjie.
