Chapter 57: Xiangting's Monologues

I'm Xiangting.

I was born in an ordinary farming family in Wenqiao County, Chang'an Prefecture.

I have an older brother who studied hard for ten years, but he didn't even pass the exam.

And I, because I'm a woman, don't even have the opportunity to go to a private school.

When I was 17 years old, my brother borrowed a lot of money from a wealthy local family to buy an official position in a local prison department.

My brother scolded me for being stupid, saying that this is a fat difference, as long as I can have a position first, it is the beginning of a steady progress.

My brother said that there are many people who visit prisoners in the prison cells of the Criminal Department every year, and when it is convenient to get in and out, the benefits will naturally come every day.

The elder brother said that when he has saved enough benefits, he can not only pay off his debts, but also buy a bigger official.

My father and mother have not read any books, they think that it is a good thing for their brother to become an official, and they believe that their son will finally be able to become a first-class official in the imperial court as he said, and he will be a scholar in the criminal department.

And I can only help my father and mother do the complicated farm work at home.

When I was eighteen years old, I decided I wanted to change my fate.

So I went up to Qingyang Mountain, and I entered the famous Dao Immortal Pavilion, because I heard that Dao Immortal Pavilion accepts disciples without looking at the background, just be sincere, and as long as you can pass the assessment of Dao Immortal Pavilion, you can enter a country of heaven and abundance that is famous as immortals.

The immortal world is a kingdom established by the enlightened masters, where the national program is clear and effective, and the law and discipline are clear.

In the land of abundance, women can also study, as long as I want, I can read for a lifetime.

I was in the Dao Immortal Pavilion, a model disciple that I heard most often from the mouths of all the teachers, and his name was Qixiao.

They said that he was the most diligent disciple of the Dao Immortal Pavilion in the past ten thousand years, and he had copied all the nine hundred and eighteen volumes of the Tianmen Dao Method, and not only the Tianmen Dao Method, but also all the scriptures of the Xinyuan Dao Method, the Xuanming Dao Law and the Jiuyang Dao Method, he had copied them all by hand, and recited them all by heart, and he was familiar with them by heart.

Qi Xiao's perseverance amazed us, and yes, when we saw the handwritten scrolls he left behind, I can only describe them as breathtaking.

Later, I realized that it was not difficult to memorize those Dao methods, and I could memorize them all after reading them once or twice.

So every time Daoxian Pavilion held an essay exam, I was the first place.

But my name is really remembered by others, not because of the articles I wrote, but because I have been practicing on the mountain for so long, and I have never been able to learn any illusions.

The meridians in my whole body were as if they were inherently broken, and I couldn't gather any essence.

Since I was a child, my limbs have also been weak and weak, I can't do a lot of farm work, and my parents have complained many times, and even think that I am just eating idle food at home.

I used to think that I would stop at the Dao Immortal Pavilion for the rest of my life, and I would never be able to enter the immortal underworld and see the person named Qixiao for the rest of my life.

But the god of fate doesn't seem to have forgotten me, they say that the prince of the immortal world has reached the age of studying, and needs a scholar who is well-versed in the past and the present, but except for the talent of the first minister Deng Liao, who is slightly appreciated by the emperor, other people's knowledge and articles do not seem to be able to enter the eyes of the emperor.

In fact, there are many talented people in the country of immortals, perhaps this emperor of heaven attaches too much importance to the cultivation of his eldest son, so that he must choose an outstanding person.

However, there were too many things before the Deng Liao Dynasty, and it was impossible to take care of both, so the Emperor of Heaven held a special exam, and that exam could also be taken by our Dao Immortal Pavilion disciples, and the exam was not difficult for me Xiangting.

Because the content of the exam is to memorize the 83,366 scriptures in the Immortal Book Pavilion within 15 days.

I passed, and it only took me five days.

Later, because I didn't know how to illusion, the Emperor hesitated, and it wasn't until he saw the poem "Guangling Po" that I wrote presented by the pavilion master, that he changed his attention and made an exception to let me enter this country of abundance that I dreamed of as the royal heir of the royal family.

The Emperor of Heaven didn't know that I, Xiangting, had written thousands of such articles, and "Guangling Po" was just something I wrote down at random in the Daoxian Pavilion literary exam, and it was just seen by the pavilion master.

After that, I met the eldest prince Xiang Yuanfa, but unfortunately, he was not particularly serious every time he went to class;

Three hundred years later, the second prince Xiang came to Bailu Mountain, and our first meeting was very pleasant, because he was at least interested in reading, but unfortunately, I felt that he was not talented enough and lacked understanding;

Maybe it's because I'm a royal scholar of the royal family, and I have a lot of opportunities to be with the two princes, and they often take me with them when they learn illusions, although they know that I can't learn them.

So I was able to get to know many grandmasters in the Heavenly Grace Gate, they were all teachers of the princes of the dynasty, and one of them was also the military advisor of the Heavenly Court, the mentor of the god of war Qixiao, Li Deyi.

He unexpectedly asked me if I would like to practice with him, and I said that I was not able to perform illusions and might not be qualified to be his disciple.

But he smiled and said to me, you don't have to be able to practice illusions, anything can be a kind of practice.

He also told me that he already has countless illusion masters under his disciples, so I can just be Xiangting.

It was after that that that I finally met Qi Xiao and met this mighty general with a hair like winter snow.

I became his younger sister, and at that time he looked a little younger than my father, with a handsome look and long hair that dragged the floor.

Seriously, I don't have any spiritual power, and I really hope that my hair, which is also a mortal, can be as long as his, because that is a symbol of spiritual power.

I remember the first time my brother Qixiao saw me, his face was expressionless, just like he did every time he met me afterwards.

I was in front of him as if it were just an object, not a living person.

The master told me that Qixiao looked at everyone the same, and it was not aimed at me.

The master also said that Qixiao's life is different from other people, and feelings are poison to him.

Later, Qixiao was indeed as the master said, he was different from others, and there was no word "failure" in his dictionary.

He defeated countless people and stood at the highest point of his career as an immortal general, and he was the first non-immortal son whose statue was carved on the altar of the immortals.

Senior Brother Qixiao's amazing achievements again and again are the only thing that I feel gratifying in my thousands of years of tedious accompanying life.

And just 1,500 years after Qi Xiao served as the Marshal of the Heavenly Court, I Xiangting met a prince who made my blood boil, the third prince Xiangguo Liang.

Everyone said that he was named after the son of the Emperor of Heaven after the king of earth ghosts, and the meaning of the name is also very clear, hoping that he will become a pillar of the country.

Guoliang is very smart, he can teach it, and he can memorize the more than 80,000 scriptures in the library pavilion, and he said that I can memorize them, and so can he.

Although he didn't memorize it as quickly as I did, and he could still memorize it backwards, he also memorized it all within the fifteen days stipulated by the Emperor.

He said that he would never recite it, because that would be meaningless, and that it would be better to study the system of other countries when he had that time.

Guo Liang was very interested in the structure of the earth ghosts and the Eight Halls and Sixteen Formations of the Tianshan Mountains, and he said that if he was given nine hundred years, he would be able to suck up all the ink in the stomachs of all the grandmasters of the Tian'en Sect.

And then, he really did.

When he became an adult at the age of 2,000, the grandmaster in the Tian'en Sect, as well as I, Xiangting, had nothing to teach him.

I heard that his illusion is also very sophisticated, and he actually dared to give Qi Xiao a war letter in disguise, and later his competition with Qi Xiao really proved that his spiritual power is the strongest among all the princes.

So I asked Guoliang to urge Ji Lu without knowing the Heart Sutra, and he did it, and I saw with my own eyes that the walnut crystal, under the urging of his internal force, emitted bursts of dazzling light.

If there was no Heavenly Emperor's seal at that time, perhaps Guoliang would have been able to use it to control the soul.

In fact, I was in the mood to try it at the beginning, because in my opinion, the artifacts of the Tianshan Mountain, the Earth Ghost, and the Xuan Yuan do not have special spells, and they should not be immortal.

The rumors of the Heart Sutra probably spread after that.

Of course, Guoliang also has shortcomings, he is very arrogant, he looks down on his two brothers, and naturally he also looks down on the young Ziyu, he told me that if his future son is like these brothers, he would rather give the throne to people like Li Deyi and Qixiao.

He said that the immortals should be the same as the ghosts of the earth, and the successor emperor generation is stronger than the generation.

I have to say that the idea of overthrowing the family inheritance system was awakened by Guoliang.

So I Xiangting, there is no reason not to assist such a prince to become the crown prince.

And then, as I said to you, brother, everything went beyond my expectations, and everything got out of control.

Guoliang's death has dealt me a lot of blows, for a long time, I have been reading non-stop to numb myself, and I have already finished reading the books of Xianming and Dao Immortal Pavilion, so I went to turn over the folk books of Chang'an.

To be honest, later Ziyu went down to the mortal world to practice, and I also secretly followed him for a few days under the permission of the Emperor of Heaven.

I returned to my hometown of Wenqiao, and I learned the end of my brother.

He did not become a secretary of the criminal department, and while escorting a felon to the execution ground, he was stabbed to death by a hitman who tried to rescue the prisoner.

And the fat gap he vacated was quickly bought by others.

The day my brother was stabbed to death was the day after he paid off the huge interest.

Probably my brother will never know for the rest of his life that the killer did not rescue the prisoner in the end, and the killer just wanted to kill his brother alone.

The reason why he killed people was just that his brother's performance was mediocre over the years, and he was not qualified for promotion, and smart people saw that he did not have the potential to be a big official, so since he couldn't be promoted, he couldn't take on heavy responsibilities, and after paying off the interest, the position could be vacant.

Only when the position is vacant can there be the next business.

My brother probably never imagined that the killer's employer was the creditor who promised his brother that he would definitely become a Zhengyipin official in the future.

Of course, in addition to this, I have also seen many things clearly, including the things that I told you about after the fall of the Wang family, which are all filthy, slippery, treacherous, and greedy that can not be extinguished due to the distortion of the system.

I regret that I saw these things, because I know the truth, but I am powerless to change it, just like a thousand years ago, I could not have the ability to rush to Hansuo Bay to save Guoliang.

It was at that time that I felt that I was really a mortal, a mortal with very limited ability, so it was not a pity that I died today, because I had done my best to push the extraordinary person up.

I hope that you, my senior brother, will use your extraordinary ability to change this world for the better, even if it is only a little bit.

Senior brother, in fact, when you appeared in my library today, I knew that I was destined to drink all the wine in the pot alone.

I, Xiangting, are not worthy of your use of the Immortal Jade Treasure Knife, that is the highest reward that the Immortal Ming has given you for ten thousand years of cultivation, and that is the glory of your life.

There is one last thing, maybe the senior brother will also want to know, but I am not allowed to tell you about this matter.

Senior Brother must have wondered, why did I, who had been in the Egret Mountain Library Pavilion, know everything that happened on the Immortal Altar, would know the exact cause of death of millions of immortal soldiers, know that Senior Brother you did not hesitate to attack your fellow clan in order to protect yourself, and know that the Fierce Heart Sword also tried to attack Li Yuan at that time, but it was not his opponent for the blue purple sword.

Actually, I didn't know that.

Yes, I, Xiangting, have neither the power of Tianshan Moyan nor the ghost talent of the ghost master, I am just a mortal, how can I know?

It was a man who told me.

This man put a note that disappeared after reading it next to my pillow, and told me what had happened on the altar of the Immortals.

She said that she had a pair of eyes of the night, and that she could see everything that happened in the dark, and she could see it easily.
