Chapter 57: King Yan summons
57 King Yan summoned
The crossbowman was sent back, because the daughter was really strong.
He did not know who had sent him back.
I only heard Brother Xiao talk about it, he was drunk into a puddle of mud last night, and after being dragged to the door of the inn by a son and a girl in a carriage, he didn't care, if they didn't come back early, otherwise he would have to wait to be taken back into the house by some kind woman.
When the crossbow man heard this, he felt a cold sweat on his back, the woman mentioned here is, of course, the female shopkeeper of Qinyuan, after all, he doesn't want to lose his innocence for no reason, and he is still a woman older than his mother.
Although this may also be a joke of a few people, but in Nanyun City, I am not familiar with life, if I am really exploited by someone, I will suffer a big loss at that time, and I wonder others, who call themselves no diamond diamonds, and have to work on porcelain.
Then again, the current situation in Nanyun City is really a mystery for the authorities and clear for the onlookers.
As the most important person in this bureau, the crossbow man didn't know the importance of his attitude, so he really didn't care much about those grandiose temptations, and regarded them as something other people wanted to satisfy their curiosity.
So who are the people who are secretly haunting, and who are the people who have stretched out their hands and feet, which are enemies and which are friends.
What their intentions are, do they need to pay attention, but they still maintain their original intentions as always.
The crossbowman can't think about it that much for the time being.
It's just that when something insists on emerging from his memory, he sees some of the experiences along the way, which can't help but make him panic to a certain extent.
It turns out that his whereabouts have long been known to others, so is it necessary for all the people around him and all the people he has met to doubt.
If so, it's chilling.
The crossbow man buried these sudden speculations in his heart deeply, and tried to think in a good direction, hoping that these were just suspicions, not facts.
…
Unconsciously, Nanyun Capital City began to fall into a turmoil.
Many people have found out something in the end, and only those who know some of the reasons in the middle can guess.
And the person who has already been in the game and thinks he is in control of the overall situation, in fact, who is not a chess piece of whom.
But now it is certain that the biggest beneficiary, except for King Yan, is difficult to have anyone else.
If it weren't for King Yan and replaced by someone else, the complexity of the situation would not be something that ordinary people could imagine, and ordinary people would not dare to imagine.
…
The shopkeeper woman was missing from the Qinyuan Inn today, and only a guy named He Sheng was dozing off at the counter.
Brother Xiao deliberately let the crossbowman stay in the inn to rest, and he took the other three with him.
To be honest, is it for the good of the crossbowman, or because the Taoist can rob him of his womanhood every time, leaving it to the other three to think.
The crossbow man felt how bored he was when he was free, so he looked at the book that the fourth senior brother had secretly given him in the room.
Although there are not many books, they are all-encompassing, and the crossbow man can't help but sigh, calm down and read the book, which is actually not bad.
As the predecessors said, there is a golden house in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book.
The crossbowman looked intently at a strange book called "The Legend of Tianyan Cultivating Immortals".
What is described in the book is some mysterious and mysterious deeds of cultivating immortals, the kind of characters who can move mountains with a wave of their hands at every turn, abounding in the book.
He suddenly thought, could it be that there is really a cultivator in the world, so whether his master is a real immortal.
Then he denied it again, to say that there must be a lot of people who cultivate immortals, but if his master is an immortal, it can really make the dumb senior brother have a good-looking smile on his face, and the sloppy senior brother can also clean up like a handsome son.
Above this space, in that ethereal world.
The broad-robed Taoist knew the thoughts of a certain calf's nose in the world, his eyes opened, he raised his hand, and left angrily.
Behind him, a mountain that was high into the sea of clouds suddenly collapsed from it.
The so-called opening of the mountain is nothing more than that.
Halfway through reading the crossbowman's children's book, I feel more and more that this book is an ethereal fantasy of those who practice.
As mentioned in the book, above this world, there is a legendary fairy world, and there are countless immortals in the fairy world, overlooking the world and observing the changes in this world.
If someone in the world can transcend the shackles of this world, he will enter the fairy world and become a member of the fairy world.
And this book is based on the miraculous experience of these detached people, who are first an ordinary person, and then under some kind of opportunity, embark on the path of cultivation, and after practicing to a certain extent, they will be instilled with some special ideas, and then embark on the road of cultivating immortals, and then after a lot of hardships and enlightenment, they will finally become detached, become immortals, and enter the immortal world.
As for how to practice, the book does not give a detailed explanation, but only says that all the laws in the world can be practiced, and once the cultivation arrives, turn to cultivating immortals.
That is to say, drinking and eating is also a kind of practice, as long as it reaches a certain level, there will be the idea of cultivating immortals.
After cultivating immortals, there is another saying that all laws are one, and the Tao ascends to immortals.
When the crossbow man saw the end, he was really more shocked than watching those strange and terrifying things.
A strange thought popped into his head:
According to the book, he is already on the path of cultivation, so to what extent do you want to reach it, and what should you do to be considered an immortal.
If you drink wine, you will drink all the wine in the world, and if you eat, you will eat as big as a mountain, and if you kill someone, you will slaughter several cities.
After thinking about it, the crossbowman began to smile bitterly, how can it be so simple, if it is really so simple, how can there be any mortals in the world who have cultivated immortals and preached the Tao.
The crossbowman closed the book, poured a cup of tea, and stopped thinking about this matter of cultivating immortals.
He put all his thoughts back into reality, thinking about what would happen to this Nanyun Capital against him next.
In the end, the royal family should be open and honest first, or should he take the initiative to make it clear.
Or when nothing happens, continue to let others guess.
I really can't do it, so I left, left Yanli, and looked at the whole world, from East Lake to Beimeng, as well as the depths of southern Xinjiang that few people have explored, life is just so chic.
If none of this can be realized, and something that threatens him happens in the middle, then he still has no clue how to break the situation.
Thinking about it this way, I didn't realize that the teapot was empty by myself.
He was ready to go out and asked the guy for another pot.
In the lobby of the inn, He Sheng at the counter had already fallen asleep.
Thinking about the warm temperature in Nagumo in winter, it is easy to make people who have nothing to do sleepy.
The crossbowman knocked on the counter, and when he saw that the guy was not awake, he shouted, "Brother He Sheng, wake up." ”
After the crossbowman finished shouting, He Sheng slowly wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, stretched his waist again, and said sleepily: "Little Zhenren, why are you still in the inn and haven't gone out with a few masters?" ”
The crossbow man put the teapot on the counter, "I drank too much last night, and I was a little overwhelmed today, so I stayed at the inn, and I finished the tea while reading a book just now, and I wanted the little brother to help change the pot." ”
He Sheng lifted the teapot and felt a lot more energetic, "Xiao Zhenren was so drunk last night, He Sheng still saw it for the first time, and he became a Taoist drunkard at a young age." ”
The crossbowman smiled awkwardly.
He Sheng quickly changed the tea leaves in the teapot and said, "There are only the two of us left in this inn now, and it is a lot deserted. ”
The crossbowman nodded and asked, "The shopkeeper is not in the inn?" ”
He Sheng began to boil water behind the counter, and replied: "Auntie, you can't see it, it's just a hands-off shopkeeper." ”
When He Sheng said this, he obviously looked out of the door.
I saw that his face suddenly showed disdain.
The crossbowman was puzzled, and then looked at the door, where there was already an old eunuch.
The old eunuch looked at the two of them with a smile, his figure was slightly rickety, he was in his arms, and he was holding a roll of silk cloth woven of gold in his hand.
He Sheng glanced at it a few times, and then busily took care of the work of boiling water in his hands.
The old eunuch walked in slowly, didn't care about He Sheng's approach at the counter, and said directly to the crossbowman: "The son of the crossbow, the crossbowman, receives the king's holy decree." ”
When the crossbowman heard the word holy decree, he was stunned, and then bowed down and said, "May I ask my lord, is this holy decree really for me?" ”
The old eunuch nodded, and asked a little impatiently, "Seeing the decree is like seeing the king, and the crossbow boy still kneels down to accept the decree." ”
The crossbow man looked at the holy decree in the old eunuch's hand again, and said indifferently: "In this world, the disciples of the Taoist sect have always only knelt down to worship the Taoist patriarch, and their own elders, biological fathers and mothers, only salute the sons of heaven in the world, and hope that the adults will understand." ”
The old eunuch's face was cloudy, he opened the holy decree, and snorted coldly: "My king's edict said, the son of the great march to protect the country, the crossbowman, has returned from his studies, and he is very relieved to be alone.
After the old eunuch finished reading the holy decree, he deflated his eyes and respectfully said to the little Taoist, "Our holy decree is placed here, whether the crossbow is long or not, whether to go or not, you can consider it yourself." ”
After the old eunuch finished speaking, he put the holy decree on the counter and walked out of the inn.
The crossbowman picked up the holy decree, put it in his hand, put it on the mat, looked at it again and again, and did not mean to open it again, and asked himself: "Isn't this thing really woven with gold wire?" ”
He Sheng accosted at the counter, "You think it's a product that can be seen all over the street." ”
The crossbowman held the holy decree in his arms, "I don't know how many official coins I can exchange?" ”
There was a laugh at the counter, "Crossbowman, the tea has been replaced, but it's a little hot, you need to cool it down to taste good." ”
The crossbow man lifted the teapot on the counter, "Thank you, Little Brother He." ”
He Sheng replied with a smile.
The crossbow man turned around and went back to the room, suddenly stopped again, turned his back to He Sheng and asked, "Little brother said that the trail is going or not." ”
There was no answer behind his back for a long time, and he didn't look back.
Inside the palace, above the main hall.
The old eunuch rushed to restore his life.
The young man in the dragon robe on the throne asked, "Chief Wang, can he receive the holy decree?" ”
The old eunuch replied: "Greet with a salute, claiming to be a Taoist." ”
The young man in the dragon robe didn't seem to want to ask any more questions, and when he got up and left the main hall, he turned his back and said: "Tomorrow morning, except for the border generals, clerks, and ministers, if there is anyone who pushes, he will be punished for national crimes." ”
The old eunuch sent off King Yan.
In fact, as early as when the son of crossbow green entered Nanyun, the news reached the ears of Yanli's major officials.
The brocade-clothed guards in the palace began to gather out of the palace at this moment, and divided into dozens of groups to go to all parts of the capital.
And on the way to Nanyun, there were countless official chariots and horses galloping.
On the Luo River, a little further back, the official boats are also moving as fast as a school of fish.
All Yanli officials, as long as they reach the level of being able to enter the capital and face the saint, except for the people on the border, no matter where they are, they will only rush to the capital.
There are even people who travel day and night, and on the way to exhaustion, the corpses of dead horses can be seen on the road.
