Chapter 227: Seven Characters
Seeing off Lin Yinping and Zhang Xueyao and his party, Xiao Yu pondered silently for a while, and did not return to the East Lake Courtyard immediately, but walked slowly along the East Lake, Xie Si followed behind him, looked at his back and asked, "The girl in the carriage just now is the princess Lin who asked you to sacrifice your life for medicine." ”
Xiao Yu sighed: "Yes, it's her." But she's not the same person she used to be, and I'm not the same person I used to be. ”
The woman's thinking was like a wild imagination, and she said: "Who will not change? The dashing and famous man of the past has become the secret guard governor who will make the world's scholars fear like a tiger in the future, the four princes with great ambitions killed Zhang Jiangling, who is also a teacher and friend, and Mr. Hengqu, who regarded the temple as nothing, became Zhang Taishi, that is, my father, who has always been known for his madness, is now not also restrained in the edges and corners, and dedicates himself to planning for the family? People will always change. ”
Xiao Yu finally glanced back at her and said with a smile: "You know a lot. ”
Xie Si blushed again and stopped talking.
Xiao Yu waited quietly for her to regain her composure, and said slowly: "Are you very surprised that I have been able to get to where I am today?" If it weren't for Xiao Lie, the Xiao family could only barely be regarded as a second-rate family, and there was still a big gap between the word door valve, not to mention that compared to the several major families of the country, it was compared to you Jiangnan families, and it was also a lot worse in terms of heritage. To tell the truth, I'm also confused, it's like a dream, how can I wake up and become the king of Xiping County? A few years ago, I was a small character who yelled and broke his throat and no one paid attention to it, but now by stomping his feet, he can make the northwest land shake the mountains, and the action is bigger, and it can even make the world look sideways. One step to the sky, but that's it, isn't it a dream, what?"
Xie Si listened quietly, and showed a questioning look just right.
Xiao Yu laughed at himself: "Sometimes I also wonder, if it is really a dream, will one day when I wake up, I suddenly find that the building is about to collapse, the foundation of the northwest is like a beach fortress, and it will separate and collapse under a big wave, and I will become the penniless pawn again, struggling on the survival line, like a lost dog, panicking all day long." I don't want to fall down from this cloud, so I can only keep climbing up, learning those emperors' mental tricks, and learning those who have been in power for generations. Looking back, I have changed so much. ”
Xiao Yu beckoned, signaling to follow his Xie family step by step and walk side by side with him, "According to common sense, it is taboo to talk shallow and deep, but since you said that you have known me for a long time, then even if we are half old friends, I will also say something to you that is not easy to say on weekdays, which is worthy of Mr. Xie's hard work for you." ”
This time, Xie Sike's face was really red, from his neck to the root of his ears, bright red.
Xiao Yu smiled disapprerovingly: "How else to say that power is a good thing? If I am still Xiao Yu in the former Eastern Capital, I am afraid that you will not have the qualifications to take a look at this space." As for Mr. Xie and Du Zhenren, they are even more unattainable. ”
Xie Si shook his head and said: "My father once said that heroes are not judged by success or failure. ”
Xiao Yu laughed heartily and said: "Right and wrong, success or failure, turn your head empty, how many things in ancient and modern times are all laughing and talking." ”
This sentence originally came from Xiao Jin's mouth and said it to the little emperor Qin Xian. Somehow spread out of the palace, together with Xiao Jin's other words, together with the famous Shilin, an old master once said at a reception of celebrities and gentlemen on the rooftop that the two sons of the Xiao family, the eldest son Xiao Yu moved the world with his "martial arts" in the northwest, but the second son Xiao Jin was famous all over the world for his "literary name" that was like a fairy in the sky.
Xie Si covered his mouth and chuckled and asked, "The prince has also heard of Xiao Gongzi's Linjiang Immortal?"
Xiao Yu said casually: "Xiao Jin is known for his early wisdom, and during this period of time, he is known as a fairy in the sky, and he is born to know it, several of his articles and poems are circulated in the northwest where the folk customs are strong, if I don't know, it will be too lonely and unheard." ”
Xie Si continued to ask: "Then Lord Wang, do you know that the mysterious master of the Heavenly Machine List has just made a Junyan review recently?"
Xiao Yu shook his head and said, "I want to hear about it." ”
Xie Si said with a smile: "This Junyan review only talks about the younger generation under the age of thirty, and the biggest difference with the Tianji List is that it is not in the order of rank, but is described in one word, this time the owner of the Tianji List has listed a total of seven words: immortal, saint, god, Buddha, demon, mad, and ghost, which is said to correspond to the seven major sects in today's cultivation world. ”
Xiao Yu muttered: "The ghost is the witch sect, the demon is the demon sect, the Buddha is Buddhism, the immortal is the Taoist sect, the saint is the Confucianism, then the madness should be the Sword Sect, as for this god, is it the White Lotus Sect?"
Xie Si continued: "Today's first disciple of the Dao Sect, the second person on the second list of the Heavenly Machine, Qiu Ye Zhenren, is naturally ranked among the seven, but he failed to win the immortal character, but was rated as a holy character, and as for the immortal character, it was taken into the pocket by the immortal Xiao Jin. ”
Xiao Yu said thoughtfully: "No wonder the Dao Sect has thoughts about Xiao Jin, one is born to know, plus a fairy word comment, it is indeed enough to make the Dao Sect happy." ”
And Autumn Leaves was assessed as a holy word, Xiao Yu was not much surprised, and said slowly: "As for Autumn Leaves, although he is a Taoist person, he is doing Confucian things, and he has never escaped from the world, but has entered the world and the mundane world. What about the others?"
Xie Si stood beside Xiao Yu, peeked at the man beside him, and said with some inexplicable joy in his heart: "As for the others, although they are barely considered handsome, they are still far behind you compared to the prince, Tang Shengyue of the Tang clan in Shuzhong was rated as a god character, and a nobody who came out of nowhere, called Wei Xianji, was rated as a ghost word." ”
Xiao Yu said with a smile: "Don't dare to say nonsense, I have heard of Wei Xianji, he is a rising star in the Red Turban Army, and he is resourceful." Although Tang Shengyue, the Holy Maiden of the White Lotus Sect, is now a prisoner of the ranks, she is definitely worthy of this divine word, in our generation, there are few opponents, and it is just a fluke that I can defeat her. What about the rest of the Buddhas, madness, and demons?"
Xie Si smiled and said: "Buddha and madness, but they are two women, the world's first beauty, Murong Girl, overpowered the first disciple of Buddhism, Qiuyue Zen Master, and was rated as a Buddha character, and the Qin girl who was built later was specially pointed out by the master of the Tianji List, saying that although she is not a person from the Sword Sect, she acts quite like a great sword immortal Shangguan Xianchen, and she has a crazy word." ”
Xiao Yu sighed: "The Taoist Sect was robbed of the immortal word, but he robbed a holy word of Confucianism, and the face injury was considered a round past, but the Sword Sect failed to leave a word, and this face was beaten painfully." ”
Xie Si smiled like a flower and said, "The last magic word, naturally it is you, the prince." The owner of the Tianji List commented on the prince, saying that the rebellion of the grassland began with Xiao Yu, the rebellion in the northwest began with Xiao Yu, the rebellion of Dazheng began with Xiao Yu, and the rebellion of the world began with Xiao Yu. ”
Xiao Yu couldn't cry or laugh, half bitterly smiled and half laughed at himself: "Traitor, devil." ”
The smile on Xie Si's face faded, and he said with some trepidation: "Did I say something wrong?"
Xiao Yu shook his head and walked towards the East Lake Courtyard.
Xiao Yu's footsteps are very fast, at least not something that a young lady like Xie Si can catch up with. After a while, Xie Si was left behind.
Xie Si stopped, looked at the figure that was fading away, bit his lip, and remained silent.
Xiao Yu walked alone, until he walked to the gate of the East Lake Courtyard, looked up at the sky above him, and said to himself: "Mr. Fu, you once said that you would forge me into a peerless sword, maybe you plan to use this to stir up the general trend of the world, maybe you are like an immortal playing chess, and use me as a chess piece, but you must know that the sword has a double edge, and the one who plays with fire will eventually **." ”
