At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Apo brought the Son of Heaven to order the princes, the throne of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty existed in name only, and the entire government and the opposition were in turmoil, so from the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Wei and Jin dynasties, there were more and more literati who returned to seclusion, and there were more and more believers, and the number of cultivators and Jurchens gradually increased.

Qing Xiu was originally a young lady from an official family, but because of the turbulent situation, the family finally ended up ruined, and the family that was originally destined to marry immediately changed his hexagram and canceled the marriage contract, and the son of this family was Gu Yan's first life, Cao Xiu.

Cao Xiu, the word Wenlie, Peiguo Qianren, Cao Cao clan. Cao Xiu went to defect when Cao Cao raised troops to defeat Dong Zhuo, and was known as the "Thousand Miles Horse". Cao Cao treated him like a son and son, and made him lead the tiger and leopard to ride the guard. During the Battle of Hanzhong, Cao Xiu saw through Zhang Fei's plan and defeated Wu Lan. After the establishment of Cao Wei, he guarded the eastern front of Cao Wei, broke the Wu army many times, and lured Wu generals to surrender. The official is the great Sima, and the marquis of Changping is sealed.

Qing Xiu's original name was Lingxiu, and after his parents passed away, he went to Qingxuguan to practice and became a female Taoist priest, named Qing Xiu, which was intended to be quiet and inactive, and to practice comfortably. Originally, her life would be like her name, a pure life, but because of the broken relationship with Cao Xiu, and Li Wenyuan's rebellion, her life did not escape the word miserable.

Qing Xiu entered the meditation at the age of fourteen, and after practicing in the Qingxu Temple for six years, due to his extremely high comprehension talent, he became the only and youngest Jurchen in the entire Qingxu Temple, although the disciples were not as good as other real people, but the number was also more than 100, and Li Wenyuan was a disciple of her at that time.

"Master, it's time to eat." Li Wenyuan was still a young man at that time, handsome and handsome, although the corners of his eyes were shrewd, but he was just a little smart, Qing Xiu didn't care too much, thinking that his material was plastic, so he stayed under the door.

"Well," Qing Xiu was dressed in plain clothes, sitting cross-legged on the stone, her eyes were clear, calm and indifferent, she nodded at Li Wenyuan, "You can put it there." ”

"Yes." Li Wenyuan obediently put down the meal, and then couldn't help but glance at his master a few more times, Qing Xiu, who was only in his early twenties, was naturally still in the most beautiful years of a woman, and Qing Xiu himself looked very good, his skin was as white as jade, his body was slender, and he had a sense of elegance more than ordinary people with perennial cultivation.

"Still watching?" Qing Xiu lowered his eyebrows and glanced in Li Wenyuan's direction, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Huh?" Li Wenyuan blushed, grabbed the corners of his clothes in a panic, and then bowed, "If the apprentice is rude, the apprentice will retire." ”

Looking at the back of Li Wenyuan leaving in a hurry, Qing Xiu couldn't help but sigh, then stood up and took the jade jue in his hand for a while, it was a piece of jade that had accompanied him for a long time, Qing Xiu often carried it when he was cultivating, and since then, this jade has also absorbed a lot of the aura of heaven and earth, and it has become more and more warm and white. It's just that the reason why Yu Jue is Jue is that there is a gap, and it is not complete, Qing Xiu doesn't know why that gap exists, in short, it is like itself after all, it means that it is not perfect, and it cannot be given away at will.

"Master, Master!" Li Wenyuan turned back in a panic.

"Why are you so flustered?" Qing Xiu frowned and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Master, someone is looking for you." Li Wenyuan replied.

"Who's looking for me?" Qing Xiu calmly withdrew the jade jue, raised his eyes and looked in the direction behind Li Wenyuan, a look of surprise flickered slightly on his peaceful face, "Why are you here?" ”

The person who came was tall and strong, with a handsome face, and if you looked closely at the calluses on your hands, you would know that he was a perennial martial arts practitioner.

"General Cao, you talk." Li Wenyuan glanced at Qing Xiu, and then left in a hurry.

Cao Xiu smiled at Qing Xiu and said, "Lingxiu, don't come to harm." ”

Qing Xiu smiled lightly and said, "General, the poor Dao Law is called Qing Xiu." ”

"Well, sorry, offended." Cao Xiu bowed.

"It's okay, I don't know what the general is here for?" Qing Xiu asked.

Cao Xiu touched his head and said, "Your cultivation, is that cultivation?" ”

"The cultivation of the Tao has not committed the name of the general." Qing Xiu said with a smile.

"It doesn't matter if you commit a crime," Cao Xiu smiled with a red face, "It's just a few years away, and I don't know how the deceased is doing." ”

"All is well."

Cao Xiu was a little stunned, he sighed a little at Qing Xiu's coldness and indifference, but he was not worried about her rejection thousands of miles away, when his parents insisted on dissolving the marriage contract and letting him marry someone else, and he and Lingxiu grew up together since childhood, how can this affection not be erased, but after all, it can't withstand the ethical shackles of the feudal family, now six years have passed in a flash, he has been fighting all the year round, intending to put away the marriage shackles placed by his family, but when she returned from the world, she had already escaped into the empty door, and everything was wrong.

Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar woman in front of him, Cao Xiu felt a little uncomfortable, and he smiled bitterly and said, "Since this is the case, it bother." ”

"The general walks slowly." When Qing Xiu lowered his head, Cao Xiu saw the sandalwood hairpin on her head, a little dazed, it was the last thing he left her when he left home.

"You ......" Cao Xiu didn't know what to say, just looked at her stunned.

Qing Xiu smiled lightly: "Since you have entered the empty door, you will become passers-by, even if you are in love, you will never return to Hongchen." ”

Cao Xiu's eyes were slightly red, and he smiled with relief: "Precious." With that, he turned and left.

The relationship between the two should have ended completely from this moment, but at this time, Li Wenyuan and Cao Cao's Mrs. Ding met, and the root cause was established.

"Master, the apprentice's brother unfortunately died on the battlefield, his parents are old, and his brother, sister-in-law and nephew have no one to take care of him. Li Wenyuan cried bitterly.

Qing Xiu glanced at him and knew that he didn't want to waste this good year in nothingness, young people always wanted to make meritorious contributions and were unwilling to be mediocre, besides, Qing Xiu knew that he was an orphan, fatherless and motherless, let alone the eldest brother, so she hesitated for a while, and finally agreed to Li Wenyuan's request.

"Thank you, Master!" Li Wenyuan was very grateful, bowed to Qingxiu, and then packed his luggage and left Qingxuguan that night.

In the next three years, Li Wenyuan was attached to Cao Cao's favorite generals, and became a nine-grade sesame petty official, Cao Xiunian was a disciple of Qing Xiu, so he did not assign him any difficult tasks, and when others saw this, they thought that this Li Wenyuan had some background, and they stammered, so that even if he was a sesame petty official, Li Wenyuan's life was still impressive.

At this time, Li Wenyuan was gradually fascinated by power, began to pursue higher official positions, and became more and more unscrupulous.

At the same time, his underground affair with Mrs. Ding also began to reach the ears of others, this person is Cao Cao's favorite Mrs. Liu.

After Mrs. Liu learned about this, she suddenly came to her senses, usually she looked at Mrs. Ding all kinds of unpleasantness, obviously she was the most favored, why was she such an unpopular woman a level higher than herself. She had been dissatisfied with this matter for a long time, and was worried about how to get Mrs. Ding out of power, when important information came.

At a family banquet, Mrs. Liu pretended to be dizzy and wanted to go back to her room to rest, so she took the opportunity to find the place where Li Wenyuan and Mrs. Ding had a tryst, and shouted that there was an assassin.

Of course, it is very risky to do this, a little careless, it will lead to the consequences of one corpse and two lives, and this abortion, not only made Mrs. Ding's foundation greatly damaged, and she can no longer give birth, but also gives Li Wenyuan a heavy blow to his spirit, he has been longing for the warmth of home since he was a child, when he felt the fetal movement in Mrs. Ding's belly, he was really moved, and since then he made a vow to protect their mother and child, but after this catastrophe, his reason was completely lost.

When Mrs. Liu saw that Li Wenyuan had slipped away from the dark passage, she ordered someone to chase her out through the back door, and hurriedly stepped forward to appease Mrs. Ding, and sent a doctor to check her pulse to see if she was frightened. When the doctor's answer was "I am sick and need to be recuperated", Mrs. Liu almost exposed her face, she didn't understand, how could this good fetus be gone.

Cao Cao glanced at Mrs. Ding, told him to "take care of it", and then turned around and left, without looking at Mrs. Liu from beginning to end. It's not that he doesn't know about Li Wenyuan and Mrs. Ding, but because of his reputation, he has to turn a blind eye, and Mrs. Liu wants to bring down Mrs. Ding regardless of his face, which makes Cao Cao very annoyed, if the matter is revealed, his reputation will not be ruined, and the most taboo in the official family is this, and Mrs. Liu happens to be this who doesn't understand the rules.

After that, Li Wenyuan began a crazy revenge, in less than a month, he stepped on the body of the magistrate, sat on the seat of the parent official, and then poisoned and killed Mrs. Liu, so that the pair of children she left had to be raised by Mrs. Ding, Mrs. Ding was pure by nature, and regarded the two children as her own and raised them carefully, but she still felt uneasy.

After Qing Xiu learned about Li Wenyuan's matter, he was angry and anxious, he shouldn't have let him go down the mountain in the first place, but now he is so presumptuous, waiting for everything to be revealed, I am afraid that the entire Qingxu Guan will also be implicated.

However, it turned out that what Qing Xiu was worried about was not wrong, and the news of Li Wenyuan's killing of Mrs. Liu reached Cao Cao's ears, and Cao Cao was furious and ordered the whole city to want Li Wenyuan, who wanted to see people alive and corpses when he died.

Li Wenyuan's first thought was, of course, to return to the Qing Dynasty to avoid the limelight, but Qing Xiu refused.

"Master, the apprentice lost his mind because of wealth and power, and now he has made a big mistake, I hope to change it from the beginning, and the master will become an apprentice!" Li Wenyuan said with a fake cry.

Qing Xiu, who has been cultivating in the Qing Void View for many years, can distinguish the truth from the fake at a glance, Li Wenyuan's anger is too heavy, and his eyes are no longer as pure and clear as before, Qing Xiu is naturally unwilling to keep him.

"Who is your master? Who is my apprentice? Qing Xiu became angry for the first time in the past twenty-four years, "You don't know how to check yourself, and now you want to cover up your mistakes in a hurry, where is there such a good thing in the world?" ”

"If you insist on refusing, you will not be ruthless." Li Wenyuan raised his head, his eyes full of greed.

"Guessing you're coming, I've already sent a letter to Cao Xiu, and in less than half an hour, you'll be arrested," Qing Xiu said coldly, "So, get out." ”

Li Wenyuan got up angrily and walked away, and in the middle of the road, he happened to be intercepted by the people brought by Cao Xiu.
