Ordinary glyphs can only show a bust.

More advanced talismans can not only show the whole body, but also the surrounding environment.

A top-notch talisman formed a projection, which was clearly separated by thousands of miles, but it seemed to be in the same room, but it was separated from the left and right by a light curtain.

To the right of the light curtain is an empty chair.

An old man was already sitting on the chair on the left, and there was a butler-like figure beside him.

The old man was influenced by Western studies, wearing an Oriental crane robe, but using a Western pipe, hanging an Eastern gentleman's jade pendant around his waist, wearing a Western gentleman's pocket watch on his chest, and wearing a pair of sunglasses made of fine ink crystal.

The butler was dressed in a modest manner, wearing a square hat, a Taoist robe, and just a pair of glasses.

Because the person on the other side hadn't come yet, the old man couldn't help but start reminiscing about the past while swallowing the clouds and spitting out the fog: "Many years ago, I was still very young, and I was ordered to go to Jinling Mansion and live in the largest Taoist temple in the city, next to Zhenwu Lake. But after just staying for two days, I was invited out by the Taoist temple, saying that a real person who was a counselor was coming. About in the evening, a team of spiritual officials came, inspected the interior of the Taoist temple, and then set up various formations, and finally came a flying boat, which landed in Zhenwu Lake, a huge flying boat, and only one Shenzhi Zhenren and a few of his entourage. The real person walked down the gangway of the flying boat, and everyone saluted him, which was really magnificent. At that time, I decided that my husband should be like this. ”

The butler leaned forward slightly: "Although only the Daomen have flying boats, you have an ironclad ship and countless merchant ships. ”

The old man exhaled a puff of smoke: "Back then, the four generations of the Great Palm Sect went from Yujing to the Imperial Capital, and the Daomen dispatched a fleet, four 'Ying Dragons' were responsible for the escort, and the entourage sat on three flying boats, and the Great Palm Sect himself had his own boat, which was comparable to immortals. ”

The butler said softly: "If you go to sea, we can also send a fleet at sea, even if it is not as pomp as the Great Master, it is not far off." ”

"You're lifting me up." The old man bit his pipe and smiled slightly, "What kind of characters are the Great Palm Sect, how can I compare." The only one who can compare with the Great Palm Sect is His Majesty the Emperor. ”

The butler bowed and said, "Yes." ”

The old man leaned back in his chair and held a pipe with his hand: "I remember when I first arrived in Nanyang, what ironclad ships, it was all a shadowless thing, only a few broken sampans, at that time Nanyang was even more chaotic than today, in addition to the sailors of the imperial court, the fleet of Taiping Dao, the fleet of Zhengyi, the fleet of large and small pirates, the fleet of Westerners, all kinds of krakens, thirty days a month, at least twenty-eight days are worrying, it is really unbearable to look back on the past." ”

The housekeeper said: "The heavens will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, and empty their bodies and behaviors to mess with their actions, so they are motivated to endure and gain what they cannot." That's why you're where you are today. ”

"Great cause." The old man laughed, "Is it really big?" The housekeeper said: "Today's royal family, the Qin family, was just a prince back then. ”

At this moment, a figure appeared on the other side of the light curtain, sitting directly on the empty chair.

"It's not easy to see Li Gongzi." The old man looked at the figure on the other side of the light curtain.

"There are some things that need to be dealt with temporarily, and there is no way to do it. After all, the two elders are not at home, and they went to Yujing, and I hope that Mr. Jin will forgive me. Li Gongzi's attitude was leisurely and not the slightest bit inhibited.

"Yujing is a good place, Xuansheng grew up on Penglai Island, but most of his time in the world is spent in Yujing." The old man bit his pipe into his mouth again.

Li Gongzi asked, "Mr. Jin has been to Yujing?" ”

The old man said leisurely: "Not only have I been there, when I was working in Yujing, Li Gongzi was not born yet." ”

Li Gongzi smiled: "In this way, Mr. Jin was also a member of the Daomen. ”

The old man took his pipe in his mouth and smiled: "Yes, that was many years ago, and at that time it was still the world of the five generations of masters. ”

"I take the liberty of asking, which name did Mr. Jin use when he was in Daomen?" Li Gongzi asked tentatively.

"Real name, it must be." The old man said, "But in the roster of the Daomen, it is already a dead man." ”

"Dare to ask Mr. Jin's master?" Li Gongzi asked again.

The old man did not answer positively: "A person who is unlucky is also a person who is on the wrong team, otherwise, I would not have left Yujing and gone away." ”

Li Gongzi adjusted his sitting posture slightly: "How did Mr. Jin go to Nanyang?" ”

The old man's eyelids drooped slightly: "Gongzi Li should know that the Five Generations of Great Masters once deposed the three Deputy Masters of the Great True Sect, and then supported the three new Deputy Masters of the Great Sect, that is, the three Deputy Masters of the Great Masters who are now calling for wind and rain on the stage." If the newcomer takes the position, he will inevitably enable his own people and suppress the elderly, even if the newly ascended deputy head of the Great True Sect is unwilling to do this, the Five Generations of Great Masters will force them to do so, otherwise why should the Five Generations of Great Masters change the Deputy Masters of the Great True People? The family teacher is a confidant of the deposed deputy head of the Great True Sect, so he will naturally be involved. How can I escape? ”

Speaking of this, the old man laughed at himself: "Li Gongzi is a little annoyed, right?" It's all about old sesame seeds and rotten grain, and there's really nothing to say. After all, I'm an old man, and it's hard to compare myself to you young people. ”

Li Gongzi shook his head and said, "Don't bother." ”

The old man smiled slightly: "Since Gongzi Li is not annoying, then I will say more." People's concepts are basically fixed in the year of the crown. It's hard to change unless something big happens. When I was young, I saw a lot of big people in Yujing, so I had the idea of 'a big husband should be like this', and since it couldn't be realized inside the Daomen, I had to look for it outside the Daomen. ”

Li Gongzi asked, "What did Mr. Jin do after he went to Nanyang?" ”

The old man said unhurriedly: "The South China Sea does not only refer to the South China Sea in a narrow sense, just as the West Ocean not only refers to the West Sea in a narrow sense, but also includes the entire Western Continent. In the same way, Nanyang also includes Bo Si Chau and Borneo Chau. At that time, Bosa and Borneo were in chaos, and only in troubled times could they come out, and in peaceful and prosperous times, there was no possibility of getting ahead. As for what I did, it was just a matter of crawling and dying. ”

Li Gongzi did not speak.

The old man took off his pipe and said with a smile: "Of course, you family members are exceptions, no matter whether it is troubled or prosperous, you can always come out." We are not in a position to compare with you in this regard. ”

Li Gongzi said: "Crawl and roll, nine deaths and one life." In just eight words, it is easy to say, but how difficult is it to do? ”

The old man gently rubbed his pipe: "It's not difficult to say, it's not easy to say, and it's fate." ”

Li Gongzi sat up straight: "Mr. Jin, let's talk about business." ”

The old man said: "I didn't want to come forward in person, but the Li family attaches great importance to this matter, and I don't dare to disobey the dignified national teacher." Moreover, the national teacher intends to let me get close to Li Gongzi, and there are still many opportunities to deal with each other in the future. ”

"Don't dare not pay attention to it, this critical juncture cannot be given to people." Li Gongzi sighed lightly, "In the Jiangnan case, a second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest died, and a real person who knew the knowledge was transferred, and the number of real people in one hand was held accountable and demerited, and the number of third-grade Youyi Taoist priests in both hands was demoted and transferred, and the rest were killed by their own people, and those who were executed by Beichen Hall are countless. A lesson from the past must be observed. ”

The old man said, "My channel is safe. ”

Li Gongzi's upper body leaned forward slightly: "Being safe in the past does not mean that it is safe now, and it is not necessarily related to future security." I hope that Mr. Jin can break his wrist and cut off all the clues without leaving a trace. ”

The old man said noncommittally: "It's just a Yanqing Chamber of Commerce, as for such a stirring up of the people?" ”

Li Gongzi asked rhetorically: "I wonder if Mr. Jin has heard of the name 'Zhang Yuelu'?" ”

"I've heard of it." The old man thought for a moment, "It seems to be a rising star of the Daomen." ”

Li Gongzi slightly accentuated his tone: "It was she who participated in cracking the Jiangnan case back then, and then she entered the eyes of the earth master, and she rose to the top." ”

"I remembered, it was her." The old man put his pipe aside, "Why don't you dispose of her?" Is it because she's a woman? If you want to become a big person, you can't pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, and you can't take the word 'love' first. ”

Li Gongzi said: "It has nothing to do with anything else, it's just too sensitive." The current Zhang Yuelu is even more expensive than the granddaughter of the Heavenly Master, and killing Zhang Yuelu will not help calm the situation, but will only set himself on fire. So we just need to let her go back in vain, there is no need to add to it. ”

The old man was silent for a moment, and then agreed with Li Gongzi's statement: "I will arrange someone to properly handle this matter, please rest assured that Li Gongzi." ”

Li Gongzi stood up, solemnly bowed his hand and said, "Then there is Mr. Lao Jin." ”
