In the imperial study, a cut of candlelight illuminates the hall, but there is also darkness that cannot be illuminated.

The Son of Heaven sat in front of the desk and read the folds while talking eloquently with the mysterious outline in the darkness.

"Yu'er is quite wise today and performs very well, do you think that the strength of the mountains and rivers is because of strength, or because of skill?"

Facing the question of the Son of Heaven, the mysterious outline in the darkness replied unhurriedly: "Pulling out mountains and rivers is naturally force, and it is not swallowed by mountains and rivers, but it is a skill." ”

"Oh?" the Son of Heaven was a little curious and asked, "What's the explanation?"

The mysterious outline in the darkness replied: "The Nine Emperor Princes circled the mountains and rivers several times, knocked on the Ding but did not lift it, in fact, he used the ethereal Heavenly Dao, the peerless exercise "Asking Dao", and in a short period of time, he subdued the mountains and rivers. ”

So, when the mountains and rivers were pulled up, the mountains and rivers did not give birth to the power of counterattack because of submission, so they naturally would not be counterattacked. ”

The Son of Heaven sighed and said, "Why do you say that such a big thing as the Immortal Realm fell in love with Yu'er when he was born?"

The mysterious outline in the darkness replied: "The Nine Emperor Princes have a transcendent mind, and the Ethereal Heavenly Dao Dao Method can be used if you know it, you need a mental nature, maybe the great thing in the fairy realm is the one who has taken a fancy to the Nine Emperor Princes' mental nature." ”

This explanation is plausible and quite likely.

So the Son of Heaven thought so.

At this moment, the little eunuch on night duty in the imperial study walked in, knelt down and saluted: "Your Majesty, the crown prince and the queen mother ask to see you." ”

His voice trembled a little, and cold sweat flowed from his forehead, because the faces of the crown prince and the queen were very gloomy, and they were full of murderous intent at a glance, and he was very afraid.

Fortunately, the Son of Heaven did not ask him to refuse the guest, but nodded: "Xuan!"

Then, the little eunuch breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly got up to report.

After a while, the prince and the queen walked in together.

And a mysterious outline in the darkness has disappeared at some point.

The Son of Heaven looked at the fold intently, did not look up, and asked coldly, "What are you doing here?"

In fact, he had vaguely guessed the intention of the queen and the crown prince, so he was so cold.

The queen said: "Today's Nine Emperor Princes are majestic, and you are also angry, and you actually promised to seal the king's fiefdom when he came out, are you raising tigers for Western Chu to make trouble, or are you creating a strong rival for Shui'er?"

The Son of Heaven raised his head and looked at the queen coldly: "Why don't you talk about your damn brother, if he hadn't stirred up the situation, I would have been forced to act like this." ”

The queen was a little puzzled: "What kind of situation?"

When the Son of Heaven heard this, he sighed, she was originally an extremely smart woman, and her brain was used in the harem battle.

So, he had to explain: "Yu'er is the strongest knife I have built for Shui'er, and Shui'er will be the one who uses the knife when the time comes." ”

"But when your brother wanted to take the knife from Shui'er, you didn't question me, but questioned me. ”

The queen suddenly realized, lowered her head, revealed her little daughter's posture, and her cheeks were slightly red: "People, do you blame you? The flowers in Weiyang Palace are blooming, and they look good in the moonlight." ”

As she spoke, her eyes rolled several times.

The Son of Heaven knew what she meant, and said, "When I finish reviewing the recital, I will go to Weiyang Palace tonight to accompany you to enjoy the flowers." ”

When the queen heard this, she immediately cheered, like a little girl who had won candy.

The prince looked at his biological mother, and then looked at the Son of Heaven, and felt that the Son of Heaven's idea was good, if Ji Yu was really a good knife, he would reluctantly accept it!

Thinking about it, he happily followed the queen out of the imperial study.

The Son of Heaven looked at the queen's back, a little indifferent, even disgusted.

To be honest, he didn't like this lonely woman very much.

If it weren't for the fact that Shui'er was excellent, very similar to him when he was young, and Dugu Guanlan now has self-respect and is not easy to offend, he would have abolished this woman a long time ago and made Liu Guifei his queen.

"Dugu Guanlan. The Son of Heaven muttered the name to himself, and then began to close his eyes and recuperate.

......

......

In the courtyard of Dali Temple, the moonlight is full.

Fan Bizhi stood under the green pine with his hands in his hands, and Lu Wen stood beside him.

The wind rises, the leaves fall.

Fan Bizhi closed his eyes and said, "Ji Yu is very good, your vision is good." ”

Lu Wen sighed and said with a wry smile: "The student has tried his best to recruit before, but when I thought of this consideration, I let this son encounter such an opportunity.

"The promise of the Son of Heaven to be the king of the fiefdom, and if he wants to worship the teacher again, it seems that he has no chance. ”

Fan Bizhi smiled indifferently: "This is a bad statement, can you attract such a potential magnate for Dali Temple, isn't it?"

When Mr. Lu Wen heard this, his eyes lit up, and he sighed in his heart: It's still the teacher's long-term vision, why didn't he think of it?

Then, Fan Bizhi's voice sounded again: "Now that we have broken through the fruit, we need to work harder, and we can only enjoy the more beautiful scenery by going to a few major realms." ”

"Life, after all, is to appreciate more scenery, so as not to come to this world for a walk, don't want to go to the other side of the students you have taught in the future, but you haven't even seen the river. ”

Lu Wen was shocked when he heard this, and said respectfully: "Disciple, remember the master's teachings. ”

However, Fan Bizhi had already thrown off his sleeves and rolled up two breezes and entered the hut where only a broken candle was lit.

Lu Wen looked at the green pine that was becoming more and more tall and lonely in the moonlight, and thought thoughtfully.

......

......

Under the clouds and the moon, Princess Ziyang and Huo Qiyun rode together.

Huo Qiyun asked: "Today, the Nine Emperor Princes Ji Yu is pulling mountains and rivers and is famous in Western Chu, what do you think of the one-year appointment of the Dizi Pavilion?"

Princess Ziyang was stunned, and the divine horse under her crotch couldn't help but reduce her speed a little.

She suddenly remembered the scene when the banquet dispersed, and the scene of passing by the beautiful young man in red clothes.

When she mischievously said, "You are very good, I will call you Yu excellent in the future", the young man's stunned and overwhelmed eyes were still in front of her in a trance.

She thinks this person is cute and funny, and he is really the most beautiful person in the world.

Princess Ziyang acted recklessly, and said whatever she thought.

So she replied: "Chu has Ji Yu, no one in the world is beautiful!"

Answering the question, Huo Qiyun not only did not get angry, but laughed loudly: "You know that what I said is not this." ”

Princess Ziyang said: "A year later, there will be no more Dugujing in the Dizi Pavilion. ”

Huo Qiyun frowned slightly: "That's the nephew of Lonely Guanlan, although the Nine Emperor Princes won a big victory in this competition, there were too many restrictions in it, and the Nine Emperor Princes made perfect use of these restrictions to defeat Dugu Jing." ”

"A one-year appointment, but there are not so many restrictions, it is completely based on real strength, do you still think so?"

Princess Ziyang raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "Of course, because I call him Yu Excellent." ”

"Oh?" Huo Qiyun was slightly surprised, and then laughed loudly: "I think so too." ”

The master and apprentice gradually drifted away under the cloud and moon, and went straight to the northern frontier of Western Chu.

......

......

On the banks of the Chu River, the waves crash on the shore.

Lingyue rode a horse and sent a sword swallowing to the number of people.

The white-haired short old man with a rickety, lame body, and a shabby black robe looked back and smiled kindly: "You said that your swordsmanship comes from your son-in-law, and now I believe it." ”

Ling Yue was a little strange, she didn't know why this Xichu kendo master, who had secretly guided him carefully and wanted to accept him as a closed disciple, suddenly said this.

The Sword Swallower smiled: "You may just be grateful that your son has a secret to knock in circles, but you don't understand, do you?"

Lingyue nodded.

The sword swallower said: "When fighting Bai Yuan, I used to listen to the wind and ask the rain. ”

"When the king of war is happy, he uses a leaf falling into the water. ”

"Nowadays, the method of going around the circle and knocking on the Ding is to point the country. ”

"These techniques all come from the supreme true law in the ethereal heavenly dao, these true methods are hard to find in the mainland, and those who can obtain them are extremely rare, which can be described as one in ten thousand. ”

"And the practice of the ethereal way of heaven is different from the way of righteousness and martial arts, and the practice of the true law pays attention to the word heart. ”

"The higher the grade of the true dharma, the higher the demand for the mind. ”

Speaking of this, the sword-swallower's cloudy eyes suddenly bloomed with a cold glow.

"Do you know what grade your son-in-law's true law is?"

His voice was not loud, but it was like a sword cutting through the waves of the river, stirring in the whistling river wind, which was exceptionally clear.

Bijiangdong is gone, and the wind and waves are crashing on the reef.
