......

You can't be in a hurry to study Guozijian - although you can take the Taoist book, go all the way, and get to the capital very quickly, so as to avoid the pain of running around - but the clerk has only arrived in Jiangzhou not long ago, and you will appear outside the gate of Guozijian in only ten days, which is suspicious. As long as the "staff" of Guozijian verifies the date, they will deduce a big flaw.

Isn't that scientific?

Did you fly here?

Therefore, there are two choices in front of Chen Jianchen. The first is to play in the mountains and rivers on the road, delaying some effort; the second is to stay in the capital first, wait for almost enough, and then go to Guozijian to study and study.

After thinking about it, Chen Jianchen decided to make a compromise, first travel to the mountains and rivers for a while, and then arrive in the capital a period of time in advance, so that he could get to know each other.

From ancient times to the present, the capital is the core of the world, the hidden dragon and the crouching tiger, and the strong man is like a cloud. In a word: "It is not easy to live." In addition, one question that has to be considered is whether Ying Ning is suitable for it after entering the capital.

The capital is important, different from Jiangzhou. The army of Tunji is the best in the world in terms of quantity and quality, and the Imperial Forest Army, the Tiger Army, the Black Shirt Guard, etc., are all elites selected from a hundred, strong and vigorous, and their blood is extremely vigorous. When the number increased, countless blood qi were connected into one qi, forming a large area, overwhelming the world, and becoming a huge and incomparable formation.

The blood and qi are in a big array, and the sun is rushing into the sky!

Under such a large array, it has no impact on ordinary people, but for cultivators, especially for cultivators born from demons and monsters, the impact is very great.

Needless to say, the ghosts who are idle cannot be approached at all, and they have to flee a few miles away from the capital, and the ghosts that can change into human forms are also uncomfortable, or they can blend into the city, but they have to bear great pressure all the time, and if they are not careful, they will be shocked to the ground.

Even if a human monk lives in such an environment for a long time, it is not comfortable, as if he lives in a place with serious "pollution", he cannot meditate and cultivate at all, and it will cause a lot of harm to his physical cultivation. Templar

As a result, there were hardly any cultivators in the capital who settled. From another point of view, this is a powerful guarantee for the safety of the imperial family.

If the capital is like a "public toilet", those cultivators do whatever they want, go high and come and go, and come and go without a trace, the emperor can still sleep peacefully and keep the world?

As for the so-called "dragon spirit" in folklore, it is nothing more than a foolish public opinion deliberately created by the royal family. What is bestowed on heaven, what is the luck of the son of heaven, all are like this.

The greatest force that can really protect the imperial power is the army, the loyal army. The uncountable vigorous blood qi is much more reliable than the ethereal dragon qi.

From the small to the big, from the capital to infer the whole world, this law also applies. When the country and the people are peaceful, prosperous, and vigorous, then the people's livelihood is prosperous and the blood is prosperous; but if disasters are everywhere, the people are not able to make a living, and the people are panicked, and they cannot even eat a full meal, where will there be any flesh and blood?

Once such a situation occurs, this invisible force will weaken and weaken, and the flaws will open widely, and there will be many holes. At that time, all kinds of demons, demons, and all kinds of ghosts and ghosts will be able to emerge with swagger, do misdeeds, and act wantonly.

In this way, the whole country is almost at the end of the day.

- This is the cliché: when the country is about to die, there will be demons!

The in-depth understanding makes people ponder, at least for Chen Jianchen, it can allow him to see many things clearly. At the same time, she was worried about Ying Ning's situation, and she followed her into the capital to be a scholar, and the environment was worrying. Especially that Guozijian, that is the holy land of the people of the world, I don't know how many Confucians have been cultivated, far from being comparable to places like Minghua Academy, who knows what will exist in it?...,

In all these circumstances, it is very unfavorable for the little fox!

At that moment, Chen Jianchen expressed his worries.

Ying Ning obviously thought about this problem and said, "Childe doesn't have to worry, wait until you get to the capital and see the situation before making a conclusion." ”

Chen Jianchen nodded, seeing step by step, now it can only be like this. Templar

......

In the beginning, there was no drive to the Tao. All the way to the horse, walk and stop, very calm, if you encounter any good scenery on the way, stop and enjoy.

Read 10,000 books and walk 10,000 miles.

The so-called "walking" does not mean just burying one's head in the road, but to see more about the customs and customs of various places, which are all useful supplements to the knowledge level.

The encounter in the past few days made Chen Jianchen secretly frightened: the people's livelihood has withered, and it has obviously reached a situation of lack of success, and the implementation of the "New Tax Law" has made the harsh taxes more than cows.

In the past, Chen Jianchen, as a talent, had a lot of immunity, and he didn't feel anything, and he had close contact with the grassroots people, only to find that the situation had deteriorated to a very serious point.

Just listening to the various tax names is enough to make people feel incredible: poll tax, vehicle and vessel tax, pig and cattle tax...... And so on, after handing over one item at a time, where will the people still have a way to live?

Those officials who urge taxes are even more like wolves and tigers, doing everything they can. Chen Jianchen personally experienced it twice when he stayed overnight, and he responded to the ancient poem: "Now the scenery is so picturesque, and the county officials urge money to knock on the door at night!"

Unable to pay taxes, the people had to flee from the wilderness, and many villages were deserted and uninhabited.

After a few years, if the situation does not improve, then in order to survive, the people have to rise up and rebel.

This is an inevitable result.

Let's not talk about the future, let's just say that now, there are thieves of all sizes in many places, occupying the mountains as kings, robbing and killing passing merchants and pedestrians - their predecessors may not be simple farmers.

What I saw and encountered, I felt a lot. Two broken sentences suddenly appeared in his heart, Chen Jianchen picked up the pen, full of thick ink, and wrote on both sides of the door of an abandoned house:

"Xiangrui Yuwai, the town is set in the wilderness. ”

These eight characters replaced the original dilapidated couplet, and the couplet can still be vaguely identified as: Rich and Noble Three Spring Scenes;

It's a pity that the wealth has come to naught, and peace is not available.

The eight big black characters, full of spirit, flew on the wall, as if they were about to break through the wall.

Chen Jianchen's heart moved, and the strokes suddenly turned from thick to faint, and gradually disappeared.

Ying Ning saw it and thought thoughtfully: It seems that Gongzi's righteous cultivation has made progress again.

In the Mud Pill Palace, the "Zheng Chao Paste" hanging in the center has changed, and above the last margin, two lines of words have been added out of thin air, which are the two sentences that Chen Jianchen wrote on the wall just now:

"When the country is about to die, there will be demons; poison the world, chase only the fierce; but what can I do, I will be destroyed; what is the matter of reading the books of the sages? Righteousness is unyielding, and the evil is punished; auspicious and royal, and the town is in the wilderness!"

After reading the whole article, there are 48 words in total, which is more smooth and complete.

——The "words" that used to sit in the study and couldn't think about it were seen and heard in the wild, and then completed, and there was a new breakthrough.

As the old saying goes, "knowledge and action are one", it is really necessary to walk more in order to be inspired and have an opportunity to break through emotions.

In the evening of this day, the wind and clouds suddenly changed, and heavy rain was coming.

The weather is not right, you have to find a place to spend the night early, fortunately, you can't go far, it is a town, called "Weinan Town".

It's just a small town, with a street running straight through it, and there are some houses on both sides. Although the scale is not large, it is obviously far better than the villages you see on the road. ...,

As soon as I walked down, there was not a single inn in the town. Or there were not many business travelers here in the past, and the inn had no room to survive, so it was not allowed to open.

If there is no inn, you can only spend the night. Walk to the head of the town, see a large family, high walls and wide courtyards, not like the ordinary, the horizontal plaque reads: "Li Mansion" two light gold characters.

Chen Jianchen went up and knocked on the door.

Soon, the door opened, and an old face peeked out. The housekeeper was dressed up, and he looked a little excited, but when he saw the person coming clearly, his brows furrowed: "You are?"

Chen Jianchen bowed his hand and roughly said the origin of the request.

When the old housekeeper heard this, he looked puzzled and said, "Son, you better go to another house." It is really inconvenient for us to stay overnight. ”

His expression was very strange, not the attitude of rejection, but as if there was something unspeakable.

Chen Jianchen felt strange, but it was rare to meet a large family, so he was a little reluctant to give up. If you choose to go somewhere else, you may not be able to vacate the house.

"Old housekeeper, we're willing to pay for the room. ”

The old housekeeper showed a wry smile on his face: "How dare the villain collect the son's money, it's just that it's really inconvenient......"

As he was talking, the thunder roared, and the heavy rain hit his head and face.

The rain came violently and very quickly.

As a result, Chen Jianchen and Ying Ning couldn't go.

The old butler sighed, and suddenly said, "Son, please wait for the villain to tell the owner, and then make a decision?"

"Then the butler will be troubled. ”

The old butler went back in and went away.

Chen Jianchen and Ying Ning stood under the eaves, looking at the vast outside, and the rain was flowing down from the eaves like flowing water.

It was getting late, it was raining rain, and the muddy streets were long gone. Suddenly, a black umbrella floated out of the rain curtain and broke through the rain.

Before the people arrived, the voice came first, and a somewhat hoarse duck said: "You little guy, the chief of this road has already calculated that there will be heavy rain tonight, and it is not too late to come again tomorrow, but you are noisy, and you will definitely come tonight." Later, you will have to talk to your master, and you have to increase the price. ”

The little guy was holding an umbrella, but the person was outside the umbrella, and the umbrella helped the Taoist priest to be meticulous, and he was drenched into a soup chicken, and said with a smile: "Ling Feng Zhenren, it's not that the villain is not interested, it's really my lord who is urging him tightly, and the villain doesn't dare to slack off." ”

As they spoke, the two waded through the water, and soon arrived outside the Li Mansion, and couldn't help but be stunned when they saw Chen Jianchen and Ying Ning standing under the eaves.
