253. Year Ring (First Shift - Ask for a Monthly Pass)
"It's so uncomfortable, it's so uncomfortable~~ What's going on?Why do you feel this way?"
Wu Ji knelt on the black ground, her fingertips digging deep into the earth of unknown material in the underworld, but she was slightly bent by the strong hardness of the ground.
Her whole body was shaking at this time, as if she was sick.
"What exactly is this mask, why do you say there is a problem, and what should I be wary of?"
Wu Ji's breathing became rapid, "Where are you, where are you? These days there are more nightmares, it can't be a means for evil spirits to take away, right? But I'm from the Wu family, why?"
One word after another fell.
Wu Ji was half-lying on the ground, her whole body was tense, and her black boots were hooked up by the top of her feet.
Like a wounded she-animal, she continued to speak illogically.
The words are fragment after fragment, but they are incoherent.
Xia Ji silently hid behind the stone wall.
After about half a pillar of incense, Wu Ji disappeared into the underworld again, and Xia Ji returned to Mirror Lake.
...
Next.
Lu Miaomiao adjusted the rice cereal early in the morning, and was sticking the word Fu with cat's head slippers, and Bai Yu's ankles were wrapped in cotton Luo socks, constantly going in and out of the slippers, running around with the sound of "da-da-da" footsteps.
Seeing Xia Ji, she waved her hand sideways and made a cute grimace:
"Good morning, uncle~~"
After speaking, she sandwiched the "Fu word" again, held the hot rice cereal, ran over with "da-da-da", and when she arrived at another door, she began to brush the rice cereal, and then raised her hands high and began to paste the Fu word.
The manor in Jinghu is very large, and it is obviously a big project to put Fu characters and couplets on all the houses.
Xia Ji quickly finished his breakfast and went to help.
The light of the winter morning is warm and soft,
The wind was cold, but clean and fresh.
In a moment, it was almost noon.
Lu Miaomiao was angry, rubbing her little hands, her cheeks were flushed, she glanced sideways at the silver-haired man who was also busy, and shouted from afar: "Uncle, it's almost noon, I'm going to cook, what do you want to eat?"
"It's just two of us, just do something. ”
"How can that be?"
Lu Miaomiao said, "Forget it, I'll see it myself." ”
She changed into an apron and got busy in the kitchen.
At this time, the incense in the ancestral hall outside the mirror lake is flourishing, which is rendering this afternoon full of quiet Zen fun.
Many people from afar burned incense to the center of the lake, and then bowed or bowed, shouting "Happy New Year Master" and the like.
Xia Ji turned his back and suddenly understood.
The curling smoke rising from the kitchen announced that he had returned to the island.
Therefore, those who come to the Confucius Temple to make a wish are here to worship their early years.
He smiled, feeling the movement in the direction of the kitchen, and a warmth was inexplicably born in his heart.
Speaking of which, Lu Miaomiao has been with him unknowingly for eight years, except for Xiao Su, the two have been together for more time than others.
Xia Ji couldn't help but smile and shook his head.
Man, it's really self-deceptive, while talking about topics that need to be reasonable, while really feeling the warmth, but he will no longer care about reason, it's really ridiculous, but he is willing to be ridiculous.
In any case, at this moment, he was like a traveler who was chased by a tiger and jumped into a dry well, the dry well had a poisonous snake, and he grabbed the green vine that was about to break and clinged to it in the air.
On the green vine, a drop of morning nectar is condensing and dripping,
So he looked up, forgetting for a moment the tiger and the viper, and enjoying the sweetness of the drop.
This drop of dew suddenly transformed into Lu Miaomiao's appearance, she was like an elf, walking out of the mysterious fog and breaking into the same foggy world.
At the end of the day, two people don't really know each other at all.
There was also no secret exchange at all.
Even the personalities are very different.
From an intellectual point of view, this is not a matching pair at all.
But feelings have never been about reason, and at this moment, Xia Ji understood.
He was even a little afraid, so he suppressed this feeling for a short time, and sat cross-legged at the long table with Lu Miaomiao.
Outside the mirror lake, the Confucius Temple, fireworks are everywhere, and they are blown up into a garden in the sky.
Purple and red, blooming in the depths of winter,
Bright, beautiful, but ephemeral.
"Uncle, are you watching fireworks?"
"Are fireworks beautiful but short-lived?"
"I don't think so, because... Every year we can see fireworks, but beauty briefly decorates our lives, but it is not the whole of life. ”
"Oh~~ Miaomiao has become very philosophical today, so what do you think life is all about?"
"I don't know, and that's what I need to explore with my uncle. ”
Xia Ji smiled, he doesn't define life, where there is a definition, he will fall behind.
"Let's go!"
"Good~"
"Uncle, can you have a drink? I'll drink a little too. ”
"Good~"
"Uncle, shall we take a walk after dinner?"
"Good~"
"Uncle, you have to absorb the cyan fire as soon as possible, okay?"
"Good~"
"Uncle, wear a couple outfit with me, okay?"
"Good~"
No matter what Lu Miaomiao said, Xia Ji nodded gently.
"Cheers~ May Uncle break through the eleventh realm as soon as possible. Lu Miaomiao's cheeks were flushed, and a pair of eccentric eyes looked at Xia Ji gently.
Xia Ji even had an impulse at this moment, he wanted to tell the woman in front of him that he was already at the peak of the eleventh realm and already had a thousand-year lifespan, and he hoped that she could also make progress faster and break through as soon as possible.
But he couldn't say it.
How can such a thing be said.
From the very beginning, all the interactions between the two have been built on the mud of lies and fog, so how can it be possible to bloom real flowers?
"Miaomiao, you should work hard. ”
"Me~ I'm a natural hegemon, I can live forever, uncle don't worry. ”
"Born to be a hegemon?" Xia Ji fell silent, how could this kind of obviously fooling people be true, Miao Miao actually believed it?
So, he said: "Miaomiao, listen to me, no matter what, you still have to cultivate, and you have to break through to the peak of the Eleventh Realm." What if Uncle Yi breaks through, but you don't live to a hundred years?"
Lu Miaomiao pursed her lips and said, "I don't want to cultivate." ”
Xia Ji said: "I'll teach you." ”
Lu Miaomiao looked up at the man in front of her, hesitated for a long time, and then nodded reluctantly.
This New Year, Xia Ji is not lonely.
He suddenly understood that the love and affection like glue and knee may not be wonderful, two people have their own world, have their own persistence, but they can still be together, which will make people's hearts beat.
You need to understand the other person, but don't change the other person, don't force the other person to think the same way as you, this is the best relationship.
Yin and Yang are never incompatible, the boundaries are clear, and no one is anyone's vassal, but because of this, it can rotate and give birth to Taiji.
Heaven is like this, isn't it true that feelings are also like this?
...
After the year, fireworks in March.
The Great Zhou successfully completed the annexation of the Northern Shang.
Ji Xuan needs to ascend the ancient mountain Daizong, pass through the Pure Land Lotus Temple, hold a ceremony to seal Zen, worship the gods, and praise the virtues of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
After that, he had to make a nationwide tour, one to follow the tradition and consolidate his rule, and the other to worship the famous mountain Daze to express that he was commanded by heaven and was the lord of mountains and rivers.
As an emperor, Xia Ji naturally needs to be accompanied.
He never refused, and accompanied this son of destiny who was destined to not reach the peak of the eleventh realm, and walked through the years that slowly ushered in the end of his life.
Glory is added, but Shouyuan is coming to an end day by day.
Ji Xuan once looked for Xia Ji, and expressed with fear that he didn't want to die, Xia Ji smiled and told him, "I still have a five-color order, I can accept him, and then resurrect him", Ji Xuan was a little relieved, and then urged Xia Ji to accept him quickly.
As a result, in addition to Zuo Ci and Xia Qingxuan of the Jiuding Dan Palace on Abbot Island, Xia Qingxuan added a third person - the founding emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The master followed the emperor to seal the Zen Dai Sect and inspect the world.
Along the way, he took the opportunity to scatter his "Elephant Scroll" and "Ten Thousand Law Scroll Expanded Edition".
Five years later.
The task of patrolling the mountains and rivers was accomplished.
Xia Ji is forty-nine years old, and Lu Miaomiao is also twenty-nine.
The two were with each other day and night, and their relationship increased a lot, but they didn't take that step after all.
Lu Miaomiao knew that the person he loved was unwilling to delay him, so as long as he didn't break through to the peak of the eleventh realm for a day, he wouldn't marry him for a day.
And she is also under the guidance of Xia Ji, slowly making progress every day, but for some reason, the years have not left a trace of vicissitudes on her face, she is like an immortal witch, always maintaining her original appearance.
Ji Xuan returned to Juye City, and the palace had been built.
This is followed by the appointment of the queen, the princess, the draft...
And all of this is well arranged.
The five major families sent five female disciples, and the Su family directly occupied the position of queen because of the emperor, and the remaining four families were divided into four imperial concubines.
Soon, the queen became pregnant and gave birth to a boy named Ji Chang.
Since then, the Su family has split into a family,
Separation into the WTO,
Soon became the top family in the world with a thunderous momentum, which is a typical family that jumped into the sky through the queen, and there was no abruptness.
The following year, the remaining four imperial concubines gave birth to heirs one after another, and the major families also split into corresponding families, which were known as the four major families in the Great Zhou.
The four major families are each in charge of the lifeblood of the Great Zhou, the military, government, business, and even the good and evil of the rivers and lakes...
Since then, the five great families have retired and once again hidden behind the scenes.
Maybe there will be many people mentioning these five great families at this time, but as the years go by, there will be fewer and fewer people mentioning the five great families.
Coupled with the deliberate secrecy of information in the Great Zhou, it will not take many years for the five great families to become a little-known legend.
Instead, there is the first family in the world that shows the tip of the iceberg, as well as the four major families.
At this time, Ji Xuan has become a tool man, seemingly active, but in fact passively walking through the motions step by step.
The general, the head of the text, the hidden monarch, and the national teacher have naturally changed the second generation.
Finally, the Su family also sent someone to replace the emperor.
After all, Xia Ji's mission of teaching Ji Xuan has been completed, and the next thing is to teach Ji Chang, and this is naturally the new emperor.
Xia Ji completed the handover.
Before leaving, Ji Xuan announced to the world that the official canonization of Xia Ji was the "Holy Teacher of the World", and everyone should see it as a teacher.
Although the name of the master has been spread all over the world, the holy master of the world is personally proclaimed by the emperor of a generation of dynasties.
The first generation of generals, Wenshou, Yinjun, and Guoshi have all returned to the family and made breakthroughs in the small world full of aura.
And Xia Ji knew early on that he would not be able to return to the Su family.
He can't live, he can't break through the eleventh realm, this is the bottom line of the ancestors.
At this time, according to the calculations of mortals, he is fifty-four years old, and Lu Miaomiao is also thirty-four, and they have been together for nearly twenty years, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they have a heart to each other.
Xia Ji returned to Mirror Lake, took one last look at these familiar scenes, and put away the transfer station of the Tibetan sting.
Because in the future, this place will be returned to the Su family.
And he needs to travel far away.
Lu Miaomiao combed his silver hair and said softly, "I'll take you to the north, right? Even if the family gives up on us, we can't give up ourselves." North and south, you will definitely be able to break through. ”
As she spoke, Lu Miaomiao gently hugged Xia Ji from behind, her cheeks rubbing lightly on the side of his face, tears streaming down her face.
She didn't know how many tears she shed.
She couldn't understand why the family would give up such a powerful master.
I can't understand why such a powerful master can't break through the eleventh realm.
You must know that even ordinary people, after awakening the bloodline and reaching the peak in the three mystical methods of the spirit and spirit, they can step into the eleventh realm, and almost all the mystical methods that people in the world have broken through now come from the master.
But why, the master who taught the people of the world, was unable to awaken the bloodline himself?
She was numb.
Xia Ji glanced at this woman whose appearance had never changed, and wiped away her tears, he persuaded her many times over the years to let Miaomiao go back, but this girl was dead and didn't want to leave.
"Nanbei, then let's leave tomorrow morning, okay? ”
"Good~"
...
...
The war has passed, and the prosperous era is prosperous.
The door to Mirror Lake Manor is permanently closed.
A horse-drawn carriage parked by the lake set off from the south, covered tens of thousands of miles, passed through mountains and rivers, and then reached the north.
When I came, the leaves were still green, but at this time it was raining and snowing.
Today, the North is still extremely volatile.
But Da Zhou seemed to be encouraging and supporting those warriors who were willing to rob the periphery of the land.
Every warrior can get supplies on the periphery of the raid for free, and if they are strong, they can also get the support of some pills for free.
Rows of houses were erected, which were built for warriors who went to raid the land.
The houses are numbered, and the higher they are, the more luxurious and comfortable they are.
These houses even formed small cities, like garrisons on the border, surrounding the looted land from afar.
But with the expansion of the land, these cities are also destined to move out constantly.
Xia Ji and Miaomiao concealed their identities, wore a cloak to cover their faces, and after a little show of strength, they obtained a stone house at the top of the rankings.
The stone house has a separate courtyard, which can be regarded as spacious.
