36. Leave the Valley of Eternal Life

I said hesitantly: "Emperor Yelu Hongji of the Great Liao, I know, just a king who is addicted to wine and has empty ambitions, Li Qianshun is very good if he can protect himself in Western Xia, I am not optimistic about him; I'm not familiar with Wanyan Aguda and Fang La, but I still have a certain understanding of Xiao Feng and Gongsun Yu, and they should have no intention of the world. It's that Da Song is rich and has a good foundation, but no one can compete in the world next? ”

Xiu Ling smiled slightly: "This is just a list of potentials based on the current situation, the people on the list do have many flaws, but Murong Gongzi has ever heard the saying that "the times make heroes", the king who rules the world is not necessarily a benevolent monarch, and it is not uncommon for tyrants to come to power." As for the Great Song Dynasty," Xiu Ling pondered for a while and said: "The current official Zhao Xu is quite ambitious to dominate the world, but the elders in the door have personally come to the door to see and calculate, this king's life expectancy may not live more than forty years, according to the time calculation, he will die in less than ten years, and the other princes and heirs of the Great Song Dynasty have also been observed and contacted, and the conclusion is: It is useless." ”

I was silent, the Great Song Sect of the world-rich world couldn't find a qualified inheritor, this is really a great irony. If I heard this news before, I must have been ecstatic, according to which I divided the Great Song Dynasty and planned the next step of the hegemony plan, now the situation is different, although I have given up fighting for hegemony in the world, but I still have the intention of forming my own forces and dominating the world.

Xiu Ling said a few words, but in my heart unfolded a picture of the general trend of the world, which inspired my future actions a lot, it seems that these thousand-year-old sect inheritances are really not simple, not to mention anything else, the ability to collect and analyze this news is much stronger than my own newly formed Tianxiang Pavilion, and I vaguely feel that the sphere of influence of Cihang and Changsheng Valley is far more far-reaching than I imagined, at least there is no reliable person from my Murong family above the court.

I drank the third cup of tea and said, "Murong Fu has no ambition or plan to conquer the world, we do have private operations to recruit troops, collect intelligence, and expand our forces, but most of them are out of precaution and martial arts. If there is really a crisis in the future, Murong is willing to maintain the peace of the world within the scope of his ability with a benevolent and chivalrous heart, after all, although my Murong family was born in the Xianbei clan of the Northern Wei Dynasty, he is also a member of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Xiu Ling said happily: "Just wait for your words, the Immortal Valley and the Xiaoyao Sect both belong to the Taoist lineage, and they will not force Murong Gongzi to do anything, as long as he has a charitable heart." As for the future, it depends on the situation, but I can guarantee that the news channel of the Immortal Valley will be fully opened to Murong Gongzi, and the Immortal Valley retains a lot of martial arts secrets and experiences of the past dynasties, and the prince can consult them or ask the elders of the valley for advice. Although there are not many disciples in the Immortal Valley, there are many friends in the world, and you can also help you if you need it. ”

I was slightly moved and said, "I didn't expect Xiu Ling to be so optimistic about me and spare no effort to help." Murong remembers today's promise and will live up to it. ”

I asked Xiu Ling again for some tips on the longevity formula and the innate realm, and lived in the valley for a few days, during which I had a lot of exchanges with the disciples in the valley, and I had a lot of experience in the cultivation of the third and fourth pictures in the longevity formula, and at the same time I had a certain understanding of the practice routes and formulas of the other six pictures, and my body had undergone earth-shaking changes in just a few days, and I felt that there was an invisible force between heaven and earth that was constantly pouring into the body, from the internal organs to the torso hair completely infiltrated and transformed. Xiu Ling said that this is a normal phenomenon for cultivating the longevity formula to enter the right path, but there are very few people like me whose physique strongly resonates with the longevity formula, which may have something to do with my epiphany in the cave.

In the end, I reluctantly left this earthly paradise, and there were still many things waiting for me to deal with outside. After taking the ashes of Grandma Tong and meeting with the Vulture Palace, I went to the Tianshan Mountains, and I didn't dare to tell her the news of Master Wuyazi's life until I died, after all, it was just to add to my troubles. Burying Grandma Tong in the Vulture Palace, where she has spent most of her life, is probably the best choice.

When they arrived at the foot of the Tianshan Mountain, they found that there was some tension at the scene, and the sisters of Jun Tianbu and Chitianbu looked at each other group of people with unkind faces, and there was a taste of drawing swords against each other without saying a word.

I understood what was going on after a little look, a girl in palace costume was explaining something to the people of Juntianbu surrounded by a group of martial arts masters, but it wasn't Li Qinglu, the princess of Yinchuan. The princess's slender shadow could be recognized from a distance, and her gentle and crisp voice when she approached made people's hearts ripple. It is only the princess of the party clan like Xixia who can leave the palace all the way.

But I heard Yinchuan say: "Sisters, Yinchuan has already explained, although my imperial grandmother and Grandma Tong were mortal enemies during their lifetimes, but everything is resting when people die, and the imperial grandmother has a deep relationship with your faction, and after her death, she made a will and hoped to be buried near the Tianshan Vulture Palace, which is her old man's last wish, and I believe that the head of your faction will also agree." ”

At this time, hearing the voice of me stepping forward, Yinchuan's eyes drifted over, and a trace of joy flashed in his eyes, and he immediately stepped forward to greet me and said: "Yinchuan to meet Murong Gongzi, I heard that Tong's predecessor has passed away, Gongzi please mourn." ”

I nodded and said, "Is Uncle Shi's last wish to be buried near the Tianshan Vulture Palace?" I agree to this, come up with me. Glancing at the Western Xia warrior behind her, he said, "Your maidservant can follow, and the warrior retinue must stay." But seeing the sergeants behind her take a step back, many people showed horror in their eyes, probably because of the sequelae of the Western Xia War.

Princess Yinchuan commanded a few words, so she took the ashes of the two palace maids and Li Qiushui and walked forward with me, silently along the way, and arrived at the main hall, and told the old people in the palace to find a good place, choose a good day, and do a good job, but it took seven days. The place where the two life and death enemies were buried is not far away, they are all in the valley not far from the back mountain, this place is Tibetan and good, the location is good, after consulting Yinchuan's opinion, she also agreed to bury Li Qiushui nearby, this is also fate.

After the two were buried, Princess Yinchuan did not leave immediately, but continued to live in the Vulture Palace. I didn't accompany her much, just returned to the Vulture Palace, Tianxiang Pavilion's eyeliner distributed in the world passed on the major events in the world that happened during this time, there are many things that I need to decide, such as Xiao Feng was finally wronged as the murderer of the master and adoptive parents, Shaolin Temple is about to hold a martial arts conference and invite me to participate, the imperial court has ordered me to go to Beijing as soon as possible to meet me, the Daming Zunjiao has recently been secretly in the south and seems to have action, the new beggar gang leader is an iron-headed man with strange martial arts, and the traces of the Demon Sect frequently haunt Jiangning Mansion. I thought about it for a long time, and replied one by one, asking my subordinates to continue to secretly cultivate forces, keep a low profile, pay close attention to the movements of forces in the world, and prepare to unify the martial arts. Although I don't plan to sit on the throne of the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, there is no problem in being an underground emperor, these jumping clowns are bouncing around all day long, and it is time to find a chance to clean them up.

That night, after processing the news transmitted from all over the country, I walked out of the palace, but I saw the thinly clothed Yinchuan looking at the stars in the sky in a daze, the wind on the mountain at night was cold, and the thin princess in the cold wind made people feel distressed.

I took off my coat and put it on her from behind, and said softly, "It's hard at night, and the mountain wind is very strong here at night, so please take care, princess." ”

Yinchuan muttered: "My mother died early, and although my father loves me very much, he often has no time to pay attention to me every day when dealing with state affairs. Although the imperial grandmother usually has a fierce attitude, she is very good to me, and my martial arts and Danqing are all taught by the imperial grandmother. Now that the only old man in the palace is gone, I don't know what to do in the future. ”

I was gloomy in my heart, although Li Qiushui's death was not directly related to me, but I had been hostile to her before I was alive, and I could only say softly for a while: "Life and death have their own days, and Uncle Qiushui has also spent a period of time like a fairy couple with the person he loves, and there are no regrets in this life." In the days to come, if the princess has nothing to do, she can often go out and walk around, or find her brother to drink tea and chat. ”

Yinchuan's eyes lit up slightly, and he turned to look at me and said, "Can I come to Senior Brother often?" Senior brother is a person who does big things, I'm afraid I don't have so much time to accompany Qinglu. ”

I said frankly: "Where will Senior Brother do anything big, and what is a big deal about the world?" No matter who it is, after a hundred years, it will be nothing more than a cup of loess, so in the eyes of the senior brother, everything is a trivial matter. If Yinchuan doesn't think the senior brother is boring, just come to play. However, after a while, I plan to go back to Gusu Yanziwu, and I have been out for too long, and I am a little homesick. ”

Yinchuan yearned: "I have never been to Jiangnan, but I have heard about the scenery of Jiangnan in the Han poems and the palace maids. If the senior brother doesn't mind, can he take Qinglu with him to see it? ”

I was surprised and said, "It's Murong's honor to accompany the princess to visit Jiangnan, but doesn't it matter if the palace is there?" ”

Yinchuan said proudly: "My father loves me the most, as long as I send a message to the past, he will definitely not have an opinion." ”

I couldn't help but say, "I also have an engaged cousin in my hometown, who is delicate and elegant and looks a little like you, and you should like her if you see her." ”

Yinchuan trembled slightly: "Is the senior brother already engaged?" ”

I apologized: "Well, we have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, and we have long had an agreement to marry each other, but we only officially agreed to marry a year ago." ”

Yinchuan said: "Then congratulations to Senior Brother." ”

I changed my words and said, "Speaking of which, my cousin and you not only look alike, but also have some blood relationship, and it is not an exaggeration to call you cousins." ”

Yinchuan Daqi said: "This, how is this possible, my brothers and sisters are all registered in the palace, and I have never heard of any relatives who are outcast." ”

I then told Yinchuan about the deeds of Li Qiushui and Master Wuyazi, Yinchuan listened with blazing eyes, and was quite yearning for Li Qiushui and Wuyazi's life in Wuliang Mountain, and said that he must meet the sister who has never seen before. Naturally, I have nothing to disagree, but the Shaolin martial arts conference is about to be held, and this trip to Shaolin is a must-go, so in addition to a few subordinates of the Vulture Palace, there is also a Yinchuan princess and a group of Yipintang masters on the road, and I let them change their Han costumes to avoid more trouble.
