Volume 10 Chapter 4 Heroes and heroes, as if
After convincing the old Yushi with irrefutable facts, Yi Yi's journey of revenge and vows has almost come to an end.
With his cultivation at the moment, Mo said that he just wanted to rectify the rule of a mere Yanling County, even if he wanted to change the dynasty of a certain country in the Kyushu border, it was not impossible to try - Xiong Hao usurped the throne at the beginning, and the strongest people who supported him were only two refining monks, one of them did not dare to come forward when he saw the seventh son of Qingyang, and the other had just stepped into the realm of refining gang, and his strength seemed to be vulnerable to Wu Xie and Yi Yi at this moment.
Therefore, when he came to the emperor of Dayue Kingdom as an immortal and explained the cause and effect of his affairs back then, the current emperor of Dayue Kingdom, Wujiang, had already been aware of the situation in Yanling County, but he never found a more appropriate next opportunity. Now with Yi Yi's testimony and push, he was naturally happy to strengthen the state's control over Yanling County in the process of rectifying the rule of officials.
However, Wu Xie once quietly passed on to him, telling him that Yanling County was located on the side of Xianmen, and the location was relatively sensitive, and suggested that he send an old Cheng steady or inactive official to manage it. Wujiang naturally did not question the admonition of the immortals, so he sent a group of people with easy-going personalities, like monks more than officials, to Yanling County
There are quite a lot of strange things in the Kyushu world, and the officials have a high status and have a lot of contact, so many people have personally come into contact with this kind of thing, and even seen immortals with their own eyes. Therefore, many officials have the heart of Taoism, do not care much about the interests of the world, and are full of thoughts about cultivating immortals, or at least laying a good foundation in this life and becoming immortals in the next life...... In this case, it is not difficult to find a group of officials who are not greedy.
Most of these officials are relatively marginalized, lack power in the officialdom, and usually hold idle positions. Some of them were overjoyed to be given a sudden assignment, but many more were just feeling trouble.
Their goal is not to govern the country, secure the people and help the common people, nor to be a good official and make history, let alone money and power, they just want to become immortals.
Therefore, after the end of the day, His Majesty Wujiang even sent a close attendant to hint that there were immortals in Yanling County, and it was most likely to get immortal fate there, so that he could persuade this group of goods who did not buy oil and salt to let them take office obediently.
But it doesn't matter what, the Great Yue Kingdom has restored control of Yanling County, and the corrupt group that has gradually become a climate has been uprooted, and it is presumable that Yanling County will have a long period of peace and prosperity in the future. Maybe until the entire Dayue Kingdom has come to an end, it will be the most pure land and refuge in the future!
After ending the most difficult concern in the first half of his life, Yi Yi seemed very relaxed, and his mood had made great progress, so he returned to Xianmen to retreat and meditate - he needed to cultivate for a period of time before he could completely transform the progress of his state of mind into progress in cultivating his mind, paving the way for him to seek his own heart and step into the realm of returning Dan in the future.
The three difficulties of cultivating immortals, what is needed to pass through the seclusion is courage and calmness, and what is needed to cross the tribulation is a strong force, and only the most ethereal is Huandan. No matter which school or faction, they all pay attention to a "true heart" and emphasize that they must grasp their original intentions in order to overcome the difficulty of returning Dan. But how can the heart be so easy to grasp! From ancient times to the present, I don't know how many immortal cultivators in the Dao have spent a lot of energy before they can barely find a little threshold...... This is "mind cultivation"
Constantly experience all kinds of life and continue to have some understanding, so that we can gradually get closer to our original heart, so that we can grasp it at the end. Through this revenge, Yi Yi has made an end to the first half of his life, and he has gained a lot, and he will definitely take a big step forward on the road of mind cultivation!
Wu Xie himself is also seeking insight, but this kind of thing can be encountered but not sought, and there is still only one thing he can do now, which is to fight disasters.
…… The great drought that has spread throughout Kyushu has gradually begun to emerge, and the south does not feel it, but there are already obvious signs of drought in the northern countries. The Western Qin, Northern Zhou, and Eastern Qi dynasties had already suffered significant droughts, and the Great Chu State was also affected.
"I'm afraid this year's autumn harvest in Dongshan County will be miserable." Wu Cheng, whose hair had already turned white and was obviously showing his old state, sighed, "Our Zhaoyang County is the best place in the sixteen counties of Great Chu, and we may need to support them with a lot of food. ”
"I have used spells to preserve Haitian's harvest in the past few years, and I must be able to help them survive this famine year. By the time of next year, they can switch to cacti and sea pastures, and it is close to the sea, and there is still some moisture, a little rain, and it shouldn't be too bad for the time being. ”
"But...... The provocations of the Eastern Qi Kingdom on the border are much more intense than in the past, and I am afraid that when the disaster becomes more serious, they will not be able to help but launch an attack on our Great Chu......" Wu Cheng sighed, "Boss Du and Shi Shuai are now leading troops to guard Dongshan County, but I am afraid that they will bear the brunt of it when the time comes!"
Shi Lei, the son of Prime Minister Shi who was martyred in the past, is now one of the marshals of the Great Chu State, and he led the Northern Army of the Great Chu State to guard Dongshan County against the invasion of the Qi State. And Wu Jie's sworn brother, Du Ruo's biological brother Du Pre, is one of Marshal Shi Lei's henchmen, and the Dongping Pass he guards is the most critical checkpoint on the second line of defense against the invasion of Eastern Qi, and if the two countries go to war in the future, it is likely to be the most fierce battlefield.
"Boss Du's lifelong ideal is to defend his family and the country across the battlefield, and this battle can end his life's wish." Wu explained, "Although I can't help Da Chu fight, I can rescue him and his two nephews when necessary, and I won't let Xiaoshuang and Xiaoqi lose their grandfather and father." ”
The two that Wu explained are the grandchildren of Du Pre, Du Pre has two sons, the eldest son currently has a daughter, who is seven years old this year; The second son has a son who is five years old, and Du Shuang and Du Qi are their names.
In fact, Wu Cheng also has grandchildren, his eldest son Wu Zhizheng is twenty-six years old, married three years ago, and last year he was happy with a noble son, the little boy who was nicknamed "Taiping" was just full moon not long ago.
His second son, Wu Shouhe, was twenty-two years old and married a few years ago, and his in-laws were the daughter of a famous scholar, and the couple were harmonious, and he was sure to have a second child soon; And his youngest daughter Wu Duanrong is nineteen this year, and she has been married for two years, just because her husband is a businessman and often goes far away.
"Ah Jie, you're not too young, are you really not thinking about starting a family?" The brothers chatted for a while, and Wu Cheng couldn't help but persuade again, "Mother was most worried about you when she died......
Wu Jie's expression suddenly darkened, and he looked back at the high tomb not far from the grass house, and sighed deeply.
"If the people in the Immortal Sect want to find a suitable Taoist partner, how can it be so easy!"
He didn't want to talk about anything more on this issue, so he turned around and talked about national affairs again.
Wu Cheng also knew the difficulties of his younger brother, so he had to sigh secretly.
The two brothers talked for a while, discussed a few important things, and Wu Jie, who was dressed in white, cast a spell and sent Wu Cheng back to the Hou Mansion.
The cemetery is nearly thirty miles away from the county seat, and his brother is almost fifty years old, so it is not appropriate for him to travel too much.
After making sure that Wu Cheng had arrived at the Hou Mansion safely, he sighed and turned around to look at the tombstone he had carved with his own hands.
The word "Xianyu" on the tombstone was very dazzling, which made his nose a little sour.
Even though he had done his filial piety, his mother still died two years ago, and before she died, she had been looking at Wu Xie with worry in her eyes.
In her eyes, she couldn't see the flying immortal Wu Zhifei, who had great magical powers, and she couldn't see the world-famous Qingyang Guan "Little Fire God", and only saw a son who had been wandering for a long time and had not yet been able to start a family in middle age.
After the death of his mother, Wu Jie's father seemed to have suddenly aged ten years, and he quickly became old. He moved out of the Hou Mansion and lived back in Wujiaji - when they supported each other and spent difficult years together, this old mansion carried too many memories, only here, he could feel the breath of his wife, as if it was still around him.
In addition to memories and nostalgia, the old man devoted the rest of his energy to compiling an unprecedented medical book, which not only collected a large number of prescriptions, but also many ordinary doctors regarded them as treasures, and the experience of practicing medicine passed down from father to son was never leaked.
As the old marquis of the Great Chu State, with two sons, the Marquis of Anfeng County and the Marquis of Jishi, he has enough resources to do this.
At present, the medical book he named "The Story of Tsing Yi" has been completed more than half of the time - Tsing Yi, which is the usual attire of doctors. The world's doctors, how much like to wear a green clothes, this book records the countless efforts of the world's doctors, naturally should be named after the doctor.
This medical book is divided into three volumes, the first volume talks about medical theory, and Wu Jie's bacteriological theory is naturally among them; The middle volume talks about the medicinal properties of various plants, animals, and ores in the world, many of which are materials found by Wu Xie from the Xianmen classics; The next volume is the experience of doctors all over the world, and Wu Jie's epidemic prevention law is also among them.
The old man's body was getting weaker and his mind was getting blurred, and he couldn't even recognize his eldest son more than once—his memories often went back decades, to the time when the family lived in a small town.
In this case, there are only two things that can make his thinking fresh, one is the medical book, and the other is Wu Jie, whose appearance has not changed much over the years.
Although Wu Xie is in his forties, his appearance looks like he is around twenty years old, and he is only slightly more mature than when he left home to seek immortals, and his basic outline has not changed.
So when he went to visit his father, the old man, who had to be helped to walk, often sighed: "Ah Xie came out of the door, and he looks much older!"
Over the years, Wu Xie has put a lot of effort into alchemy, refining a lot of drugs for his parents to prolong life and strengthen their bodies, but for the old man who is close to seventy years old, what kind of elixir is of little significance.
People in Kyushu do not live long, even if there is no disease or disaster, the average person will probably live to be around fifty years old, and fifty-five years old is considered a long life - for example, Wu Xie's uncle, Du Ruo and Du Pre's father, Du Tuanlian in the past, and later General Du died of old age at the age of fifty-seven, and the biggest regret before death was that he practiced martial arts all his life, but he did not get even a big battle, and he was fighting all his life.
Wu Xie once checked the notes of his predecessors and learned that this was not malnutrition or poor medical skills, but "Tiannian".
The people of this world are only sixty years old, and it is really not easy to live past this age!
Life is rare for seventy years, and it is a real reality in Kyushu. Therefore, Daddy Wu, who is nearly seventy years old, is already a real old birthday star, and he is about to be called Renrui.
Wu Xie has no way to extend his father's lifespan, all he can do is to make the last period of his father's life as comfortable as possible, so that he can fulfill his lifelong wish.
In order to achieve this goal, it is natural to need peace in the world - Wu Xie feels that the people of any country need peace in the world, everyone lives in peace and stability, and when they are old, they die in bed and surrounded by children and grandchildren, which is really a very happy thing.
So over the years, he has not secretly given the seeds of cacti and sea pasture to his decent colleagues, and has taught them in detail how to grow these strange plants—he feels that as long as he can make the life of the people of the world better, his efforts will not be in vain.
It's a pity that these two plants were born a little late, and even if decent immortals promote them everywhere, they haven't been able to popularize them for a while. As for how much help can be used in disaster relief, Wu Xie has no bottom in his heart.
All he can do is to store as much food as possible within the scope of his influence, hoping that when the catastrophe strikes in the future, he can alleviate the disaster a little more and save more people.
Over the years, his cultivation has gradually improved, and he has slowly understood the truth of many cyclical changes in heaven and earth.
The climate of the Kyushu realm is actually a bit similar to that of the earth, perhaps the great supernatural who opened up this small world realm at the beginning was referring to a planet like the earth to design this world realm - Jasmine said that in the era of the Supreme God Monarch, the world was divided into three parts, the Great Wilderness Realm, the Ruins Realm, and the Star Sea Realm. In the Star Sea Realm, there are not a few planets like Earth, they are the most prosperous areas for life, and they are also one of the focuses of competition among various sects.
"Back then, our approach was very simple, if we couldn't grab it, we would destroy it, and good things would only have value in our hands, otherwise we would destroy them." Jasmine recalled the past and looked quite proud, "Master, do you know the way?" There were at least tens of thousands of planets that you destroyed with your own hands!"
Wu Xie only smiled bitterly, as he got along with Jasmine for more and more time, he also learned more and more about the past of the Supreme Divine Monarch in the past, and deeply felt that that guy was really an unbelievable wonder, and he always offended people to death. But in this way, he actually lived swaggering for hundreds of millions of years, until he was killed by the Chaos World Destroying God Thunder......
I think this heavenly way is probably not fair enough!
Heaven is just and unjust, Wu Xie doesn't care very much. It is good that Heaven is fair, but it doesn't matter if Heaven is unfair...... The injustice of heaven can be remedied by the justice of humanity. And the justice of humanity is maintained by them, the immortal cultivators.
This is what the righteous immortal cultivators have been pursuing.
"The road is uneven, someone is stepping on it, and I will take care of it...... Heroes and heroes, that's probably what you're talking about......" When apprentice Qiao Feng reported to him again that he had "eliminated a gang", Wu Xie couldn't help but smile and said in a low voice.
Whether he is a hero or not, Wu Xie is not sure. But one thing he can be sure of is that his two apprentices must be the so-called "heroes and heroes" in people's hearts.
Divine Fist Qiao Feng and Quick Sword Qin Jing are now well-known figures in Fanwen. For these two apprentices, Wu Xie really put a lot of thought into it.
Qiao Feng's qualifications are good, and his teaching to him is mainly from the direction of a martial monk. Although it may be difficult to step into the Refining Gang Realm with Qiao Feng's qualifications, the Tongyou Realm can already live to be more than three hundred years old. And even if the master of Tongyou dies of old age, it will not disappear, the belief of seeking the Tao will still be engraved in their souls, and the next life can often regain the heart of the Dao, if the next life can be cultivated to the realm of returning Dan, maybe you can also find the memory of the previous life, and there is a vague feeling that the reincarnated soul of the living Buddha is immortal.
Compared with Senior Brother, Qin Jing's qualifications are too bad, and she may have to fight with Uncle Sanyunzi. Unless Wu Xie also learns from Danfeng Zhenren in the future and finds a heavenly treasure to change his qualifications for him, he will definitely not have the possibility of breaking through the realm of hundred refinements.
However, compared with Qiao Feng, who is a bit simple and admits death, Qin Jing's personality is much smoother, and she is also quite clever in her life. Many of the affairs under Wu Xie were handed over to him to deal with.
He is still an innate martial artist, and he wants to go further with martial arts, and his hope is already very small. But he never gave up, and he was still practicing hard every day - compared to his sleek personality and means of doing things, this is what Wu Xie is most satisfied with him.
Compared with the two senior brothers, Lin Xiao's qualifications are very, very good, so good that Wu Xie's friends and fellow disciples have the heart to accept apprentices. Xiao Buyi said very clearly that if he unfortunately dies on the road of seeking Taoism in the future, he hopes that Wu Xie will go to his secluded mansion and dig out the notes from the ground to record what he has learned all his life, so that Lin Xiao can help pass it on.
"The cloth cloth god has never been a true immortal who has ever ascended through the tribulation, and I probably can't either. But I think Lin Xiao can definitely do it!"
"Is this the result of your divination?"
"How can such a thing as ascension be divined! I'm just guessing by common sense. Xiao Buyi Ha Lu Ha Da smiled, "There are some things that you can see even if you don't divinate - as long as you are not blind." ”
The speed of Lin Xiao's progress is indeed surprising. It only took him less than two years to step into the innate realm, and then the hundred refining realm didn't waste much effort. After only eleven years of cultivation, he has already stepped through the level of seeing nature and being able to become a monk who can be cultivated in various immortal sects.
Of course, what he cultivated was not Wu Jie's Fire Department Rectification, but the Qingyang Guan Supreme Divine Skill Nine Turns Dan Sutra. For this reason, Wu Xie took him back to the mountain gate and asked him to be inspected by the ancestor in the ancestral hall.
Even though Wu Xie has opened up the cave and has the power to confer apprentices, the Nine Turns Dan Sutra is not more than ordinary magic methods, but the foundation of the Qingyang view, so the assessment of this teaching is extremely strict.
Wu Xie is not worried about whether Lin Xiao can pass the assessment, this young man who has been in the early years since he was a child is very satisfied with his temperament and qualifications, and he can vaguely see the demeanor of Lin Lushan at the beginning.
He was worried about another thing-Lin Lushan's body was gradually failing.
Lin Lushan is only in his early forties, but he is actually not very old. He also took the elixir brought by Wu Jie, and it is said that his body should be very healthy, but he aged very quickly because of overwork, and gradually he already felt a little exhausted.
Wu Xie had persuaded him more than once, but Lin Lushan said: "Back then, Xiao Shen told me fortunes, and said that once I changed my life against the sky and asked Wenhua, I would inevitably lose my life, and I would probably not even live to be fifty years old in the future." In fact, I think it doesn't matter whether you can live to be 50 years old or not, how can there be so many things in life that can fulfill your wishes? Everyone wants to live forever, but from ancient times to the present, how many can live forever? Even if you, third brother, dare to say that you are immortal now?"
Wu Xie naturally shook his head, the realm of refining has a lifespan of more than four hundred years, but he will still die of old age.
"So, both horizontally and vertically are dead. Then why don't you die for the country and the people?"
Lin Lushan said the same set of words as he did at the beginning, very simple and convincing, Wu Xie thought about it for more than ten years, but still couldn't think of a way to refute him.
He once said, "There is no country in the world that will not perish, so why should you force yourself so much." ”
But Lin Lushan said: "The country cannot last forever, and neither can the people." Isn't it valuable to try to make the state exist longer and make the people live a little better because people can't live forever?"
Wu Xie can use the technique of Huangliang Dream to impress the old Yushi who is full of fallacies, but he has also performed Huangliang Dream several times, but Lin Lushan in the dream has come to the end of his life with a smile every time, although he has regrets, he has no regrets.
In the face of such a person, words and spells are useless.
Whenever Wu Xie thinks of his sworn brother, he often feels that perhaps compared with himself who helps the world and the two apprentices who are happy and revengeful, Lin Lushan is more like a hero.
Lin Lushan, who completely devotes his life to kindness and justice, has no regrets until he dies, and truly does all this, is the real hero!
