The sky is gloomy, the wind is drizzling, and the willows are still clinging.

Even in winter, the climate in Shuzhong is still much warmer.

Dressed in a thin and light silk white dress, with a piece of warm jade tied with red silk around his waist, holding a paper umbrella, he walked in style.

Xuanqing strolled through the streets of Shudu and walked along the riverbank.

The continuous water vapor permeated the river, and in the mist, a light boat could be vaguely seen turning under the bridge.

In a small building near the water on the side of the arch bridge, he saw the cave that had been waiting for a long time.

"Xuanqing has seen Senior Brother!"

Putting away the umbrella and saluting with fists, Xuanqing looked at the senior brother in front of him.

His complexion was ruddy, his forehead was smooth, his heavenly court was full, his temples were bulging, he was wearing a black robe and a crown belt, and he sat on the seat, with a calm bearing.

Xuandong's eyes also lit up, and this junior disciple seemed to have some familiar qi on him.

Immediately stretched out his hand to invite him to the table:

"Senior brother has worked hard all the way, first use some meals, so as to cushion the hunger, and we will have to go out in the rain for business in a while."

In cultivation, people can't really stop drinking and eating, unless they cultivate into an immortal body, and they are no longer mortals in the flesh, and they can eat and drink dew in the true sense, so they don't eat the fireworks in the world.

Although there are also methods of clearing grains and resting grain, most of them are used to clean the stomach, eliminate toxins, and kill the three corpse insects.

Those who think that they can become immortals without drinking or eating are just lies from laymen who do not understand the principles of cultivation to deceive fools, and they are not the right path of cultivation.

Xuanqing is also not polite, he said that it was a business trip this time, and since it was a business trip, naturally all the expenses should be borne by this senior brother.

Xuanqing, who was born in a clan, has developed various etiquettes since he was a child, even when he used dim sum.

The more Xuandong looked at it, the more familiar it became, and finally he couldn't help but ask:

"Senior Brother Xuanqing, are you from the royal family? I look at the breath on your body, as if there is nothing, like dragon energy! ”

Xuanqing looked up and smiled, swallowing the food in his mouth.

Not being able to speak when he has food in his mouth is a good habit he has developed since childhood.

He took out a brocade handkerchief from a pocket in his sleeve and wiped the corners of his mouth.

The corners of Xuandong's eyes twitched unconsciously.

It's almost certain······· The master actually let a big Yan sect into the door········

Xuanqing saw Xuandong's undisguised surprise, and he knew it in his heart.

In the year since he started, he has encountered similar questions.

After all, Dayan has long been gone now, and only a nominal royal family remains.

The princes of the world rose up in all directions, annexed the states and counties, and the Hu people went south to fight the grass valley, which was even more feathers.

Who still really misses Dayan?

In this case, the clan of Dayan, even if it is a genuine prince of the county kingdom, how much qi can be left?

Originally, there was not much benefit, but there might be inexplicable involvement, and the general Dao veins were not very willing to accept such declining princes and seedlings.

Fortunately, he didn't have much temper in the past, and he was quite tactful, so he didn't make any trouble.

"Senior brother, although I am a disciple of the Great Yan Sect, I never thought of accompanying the burial with the Great Yan."

"The general trend of the world is that the fortunes of Dayan are coming to an end, and a new dynasty is about to open, and I don't have any ambition to emulate Guangwu, junior brother, I just want to be able to survive at home········ Don't worry about my junior brother, I have other thoughts. ”

Xuanqing smiled self-deprecatingly, sighed, and slowly told his story:

"In my early years, I was still a little concubine in Nan'an Palace, I remember that I was six years old, on a snowy night, and a new moon ······· in the sky."

"My father has caused trouble, and now he is angry, and he has ordered me to be taken, and everyone has been imprisoned."

"King Nan'an is just a branch of the ancestral line, passed to the father's lineage, the prince has been descended, and the next layer is the duke."

"On that day, my father entered the palace to defend himself, but he never came out again······ Afterwards, a piece of paper was issued, and he was exiled for 3,000 miles······ I was young, I fell behind, and I was lucky to be saved by a temple blessing, and since then I have been incognito, and I have lived a few years of peace. ”

"Later, the temple Zhu registered for me, recorded in his name, and was regarded as an adopted heir, he had no children in his life, so I will support him for the elderly."

"He passed on all his life's skills to me, teaching me how to recite sutras and worship confessions, how to help Luan and invite God, and how to meditate and refine qi········ Although they are all small techniques that do not enter the stream, they are more appealing to me than those subsets of scriptures and histories··········"

There was a look of nostalgia on Xuanqing's face.

"Those ten years were my most peaceful and comfortable days."

"There is no intrigue in the palace, there is no need to eat cold meals for drug prevention, there is no need to make rules every day, there is no need to copy poems and books, and there are not so many educated grandmothers who stare at every word and deed all day long········ I just need to take care of the incense in the temple every year, open the door to welcome guests, and sprinkle and sweep the dust. ”

"Later, when he died, I cried for him, recited scriptures and burned paper for him, and did a ritual, even if he still has some Taoism in front of him, he should not be sad in the underworld, and there will be no burden."

"It's muddy, just repair like that, until the army comes, and the small temple can't keep a few acres of temple property, and it has been made the private property of several military masters."

"I couldn't be angry, I killed those officers overnight, fled to Shuzhong, and met a white-eyed fairy halfway through, saying that he was going to let me get started, and he had been waiting for me here for more than half a month."

Speaking of this, Xuanqing's eyes were red, and he didn't know if he was crying because of what happened to him, or if he was moved by someone to take him in.

"Senior brother, although I have only been in the door for a year, I have already regarded the master as my home."

"In this troubled world, only a place like Shimen can be pure."

"I can see clearly, what princes, what generals, those who fight around, and those who suffer are ordinary people."

"The army passed, all the people suffered, all the rations were collected, and the soldiers and bandits were all in one family; Officials are like bandits, knocking on bones and sucking marrow, forcing people to sell their sons and daughters, all of them should be killed! ”

"Dayan is rotten, how are those rebellious soldiers running rampant everywhere different from bandits? The so-called old parents all over the place hate to scrape the ground? Is there any reason why this will not lose people's hearts? ”

"At present, it is rare to have a Shu king who has a good reputation and treats the people harshly, I can't wait to help him succeed, set the world as soon as possible, and hang the people to fight crimes!"

Xuanqing gave himself a cup of rice wine, drank it all, and laughed at himself:

"The Great Yan Dragon Court seems to recognize me as a dragon son and grandson, I don't even know that I still have such a heavy dragon qi on my body, could it be that I want to follow the example of the two Han Dynasty and have another Guangwu innovation?"

"This is a hidden dragon seed that treats me as a big swallow!"

"It's a pity to disappoint the Great Yan Dragon Vein········· I have already entered the master's sect, and this dragon qi may allow me to save decades of hard work, and there is hope for me to achieve positive results in the future. ”

"How can there be a reason to give up the immortal industry that can be obtained at your fingertips, and then step into the troubled waters of Dayan?"

"Senior brother, junior brother, I really don't have the idea of fighting for the dragon, please don't doubt me!"

After Xuandong listened to these words, which can be called heart-wrenching, his face was soothing, like clouds opening and raining, he personally poured wine for Xuanqing, raised his glass with both hands, and said:

"Senior brother also has a heart, I don't doubt you, I'm just worried that you will be picked up for the villain and have other thoughts, but will be used by others."

"The master has been assisting the King of Shu for a long time, and now it is deeply involved, and it is absolutely impossible to change his course······ You have this idea, but you understand the situation, very good, very good! ”

"The former Dynasty Chu Hou entered the Dao, and all his luck was transformed into Dao skills, but he became an earth immortal in more than a hundred years, and he flew to heaven in three hundred years, which can be called a good story."

"Senior brother is not inferior to his predecessors now, but this luck skill needs to be done as soon as possible, before the Great Yan Dragon Qi disintegrates, if this dragon qi cannot be transformed, I am afraid that it will be involved in the incident before the number of qi."

Xuanqing got up and took the wine glass, and when he heard this, his heart sank, and he nodded gratefully.

"Remember my brother's admonition."
