Chapter 271: The Way of Guardianship (Three Watches)
All Wen Yun knew, but Jingzhong immediately sent someone over, so that everyone who knew about it was tight-lipped, and took away all the ancestral notes in Wang Yi's family.
Yes, all.
Not only the notebook that recorded Emperor Taizu's pit and killing of the militia, but also all the notes, including the travelogues of various places.
Naturally, it also includes the "Silkworm Travels" that solved everyone's confusion in the Xu Hao murder case before.
Before Wang Yi could print the notes into a book for the benefit of a scholar, these notes were forcibly taken away by the imperial court.
Only then did Yu Xia understand.
No wonder Wang Yi has been looking haggard recently.
The imperial court sent someone to check the ancestral notes collected from his home one by one, and all the manuscripts of "Mr. Cunzhen" Wang Jiaxian were taken away.
Wang Jiaxian lived in that era, and wrote a booklet that recorded the secrets of Emperor Taizu, and the imperial court could not allow his notes to be circulated outside.
Wang Yi has spent this kind of torment in the past month.
The ancestral notes that had been handed down for many generations by his royal family were lost in his hands.
Of course, the imperial court is not a ruthless imperial court, and it did not do anything to Wang Yi and other insiders, but just knocked them to control their mouths, if these things were spread, the first thing would be to ask them for their crimes.
This matter can actually be big or small.
To put it mildly, this matter is detrimental to the prestige of Emperor Taizu. To put it mildly, this matter has long been buried in the dust, and even the evil land that left traces at the beginning has been dissolved by the Jiuxiao Shangqing Palace and turned into a lake called "Shangqing".
The clues in the past have long since disappeared.
Even if some people still preach this, most of them do not believe.
In addition, Wen Yun and the others are also knowledgeable, and they didn't publicize these things from the beginning.
In addition, there was Daoyuantang mediating from it, and in the end, the matter was gently put down.
It is also because of this that Yu Xia was not implicated.
A hidden calamity is thus eliminated invisibly.
Several of the parties involved in it still look unaware.
If Chen Ji, who has made a lot of efforts to this matter, knows, he still doesn't know how much he will cry and laugh.
Of course, Chen Wei's efforts to intercede for them were for them, whether it was for them, or just to keep his own junior brother Baili Yexi, who also knew about it, was unknown.
"Tomorrow, I'm leaving, too."
Wang Yi said suddenly.
His expression was very pale, although his face was dark, his lips were chapped, and his complexion was withered, but when he said this, his two dark eyes suddenly lit up, and they shone with a different light.
"Where are you going?"
Yu Xia was a little curious.
"I have no parents to support, my wife in the middle has gone early, and I have no children to pull, so I have disbanded my slaves, and I am alone, and I only intend to take the last meager property of my family on the road, learn from my ancestors, and walk this vast territory."
This idea has actually been in Wang Yi's mind for a long time.
In the earliest days, he helped Yu Xia check the ancestral notes for the evil land, and learned many unknown secrets, and at that time, he felt that the travelogue was a very important thing.
Immediately afterwards, Xu Hao's murder, Daoyuantang found him again, also for his ancestor's notes.
At that time, he slowly had a clear understanding of how precious the ancestral notes that he had been summarized in the cage and did not see the light of day were.
Compared with those four books and five classics, poetry and essays, it has a more unique and far-reaching significance.
It was also at that time that he thought of printing the notes of his ancestors.
It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, and the notes that he didn't have time to read one by one were all taken away by the imperial court.
Wang Yi regretted it in his heart.
But at the same time, it was also this incident that prompted him to make this decision.
"It's better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles, and a good man has ambitions in all directions."
Wang Yi was smiling, although he was haggard, it could be seen that he was in good spirits.
"I was in a mess for more than 20 years, and I didn't achieve anything to keep my ancestral property, and I still committed such wrong things. Fortunately, I met you and let me understand my ancestors' aspirations, and I realized that I could also find something meaningful to do. ”
"Cultivating history in the prosperous era and cultivating ambition in the Ming Dynasty, but I want to care whether this world is prosperous or bright, and only record the customs and customs I have seen and the mountains and rivers I have stepped on, and leave them to future generations to see."
The scholar who has always been weak said that his tone became more and more sonorous and powerful in the end, with a heroic feeling, which couldn't help but make people's hearts break.
"Good! Mr. Wang said it so well! ”
Zhang Wan stroked her palms in admiration, and her eyes were full of appreciation.
"If I were a man, I would also like to walk in the twenty-four counties of Kyushu. Life is only so decades, if you don't look at the wind and moon in Kyushu more, wouldn't it be a trip in vain? ”
"Wen Wei really has great ambitions, which makes me feel deeply ashamed."
Wen Yun admires Wang Yi's resoluteness and freedom very much, such a decision is not something that ordinary people can do. After all, traveling all over the world is not the right way in the eyes of others, and scholars in these years still take the imperial examination as the priority.
Yu Xia also deeply admired Wang Yi's decision.
How much courage it takes for a pampered rich kid to give up a comfortable life and choose to walk in all directions.
Thinking of this, Yu Xia took out a Divine Descent Spirit Talisman and handed it to Wang Yi.
"I was only going to prepare a farewell gift for Lord Wen, but I didn't expect you to leave too, but fortunately I drew an extra one earlier. This talisman is given to you, and I wish you a safe journey. ”
Yu Xia handed over the second drawn talisman to Wang Yi, and handed over the first talisman to Wen Yun.
It's not that she favors one over the other.
She remembered that when she and Wen Yun went to the mountain to open the coffin, Wen Yun had already obtained a fifth-order divine descent talisman given by Baili Yexi.
But if she guessed correctly, Wen Yun would probably hand over the talisman to his wife Ning Xiuzhen.
The talismans she drew today are all third-order top-grade, although the second one is better, but the first one is not bad, and it is enough for Wen Yun to use.
And since Wang Yi was going to travel all over the mountains and rivers of Kyushu, Yu Xia was even a little worried that her talisman would not be enough.
The world is full of wonders.
Strange birds and beasts, mandrills and ghosts, what Wang Yi may encounter in the future is much more dangerous than what Wen Yun, who has returned to Beijing to report on.
Even she herself may not have the courage to face the strange world outside Jiangnan.
So Yu Xia admired Wang Yi's courage.
However, thinking that his ancestor Wang Jia was in front of him, although Wang Yi did not read all the notes, he also had a general understanding, so he would not crash into dangerous places like a headless fly.
What's more, everyone has their own lives, and all Yu Xia can do is do her best within her ability, so that her relatives and friends around her can avoid some dangers as much as possible, and no matter how much, she can't take care of them one by one.
For the first time, Yu Xia had a desperate desire to become stronger.
Stronger, stronger, better able to protect more people.
She cultivated, not to make herself above others, but to give herself greater ability to protect some people.
From relatives and friends around you, to the villagers of a village, and then to the people of a county.
Or maybe it could be bigger.
Protect the world.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew out of thin air in the house, whirling around Yu Xia.
Yu Xia closed his eyes, and his whole mind was drawn into the dantian, unaware of the outside world.
"What's the matter with her?"
The other people in the room looked at Yu Xia in the center of the whirlwind with a look of surprise, obviously close in front of them, but it seemed to be separated from them by a world.
