Chapter 108: Longevity Money
The thing felt like a copper coin, and Qiao Kun didn't take it out to see what it was, so he accepted it casually.
Then Di Xin rewarded Ji Chang again, 1,000 stones of rice per month, gave a banquet in the Longde Palace, paraded the streets for three days, and after three days, he made two civil officials and two military generals to send Ji Changrong back to his hometown.
Ji Chang and Qiao Kun are thankful again.
The monarchs and ministers all drank and feasted in the Longde Palace, during which Bigan, King Wucheng, Weizi, Jizi, Weiziqi, Weiziyan, Boyi, Shuqi and others stepped forward, and Ji Chang was also familiar with the Seven Kings and had a very happy conversation.
Qiao Kun naturally knew that none of these seven had contributed except for Bigan. Although he secretly despised it, he had to get by on the scene at this time, and he still thanked several princes for their help.
During the banquet, the monarch and the ministers were naturally harmonious, the officials were harmonious, and after the banquet, Ji Chang wanted to go to the post house to rest, but Qiao Kun had to stay in the palace.
He knew that it was not Daji who left him in the palace, but Di Xin, so naturally he didn't have a fluke mentality, and he didn't say much.
Before leaving, Ji Chang didn't say anything, and he didn't have much guidance, Qiao Kun knew it in his heart, and he didn't force it much, just say goodbye.
When he returned to the palace that day, Qiao Kun secretly calculated, but noticed that there was an inexplicable increase in vitality.
He remembered what Ji Chang had left him, and took it out to check, but it was a piece of money.
This coin is larger than an ordinary copper coin, with round square holes, which look like they are made of gold, and they are sufficient, but they are very hard, and they are presumably mixed with some other metals.
There are two big characters on the top and bottom of the money side, strange and distorted, strange and complex, I think it is "Shigu Wen", which means "long life", and on the other side is some patterns, which look like mountains and rivers.
There was a faint aura of merit on it, and Qiao Kun quietly sensed it, and found that there was still a lot of merit in it, a little more than the sum of his three treasures of paper, pen and ink.
Qiao Kun said in his heart, what is this? What is Ji Chang giving it to me, is it compensation for me?
Why is there more vitality, is it the word "long life"? Or is it that wisp of merit?
He thought about it for a long time and finally didn't understand, so he put this money into the "Sleeve Talisman".
Ji Chang was ordered by the king to boast about the officials in the city for three days, and every day the city was so lively, Qiao Kun could hear the sound in the palace, but finally he couldn't take a look.
Three days later, the excitement stopped, thinking that Ji Chang had left to go back to Xiqi.
Qiao Kun was not allowed to go back with Ji Chang, and was trapped in the palace, only teaching Daji the art of the qin every day, and he practiced hard the rest of the time.
In his spare time, he took out the money that Ji Changsai gave him to play. But I don't understand what it means.
Di Xin treated him well.
But Qiao Kun knew that this was a death calamity, and he only calculated the changes in vitality and calamity every day.
The people around him have never let go of the level of surveillance on him. After that, no one from the palace entered his room, and even if he called him to teach Daji, several people came together and shouted a few words from afar.
After many more days, his cultivation progressed faster and faster. Daji has also learned a lot of tunes.
Perhaps it was because the conversation had an effect that day, and Daji did not blatantly seduce, at most her shoulders were half exposed, and even if she performed illusions, she did nothing.
This reassured Qiao Kun a little, knowing that Daji remembered her sweetheart and was not interested in Bo Yi for the time being.
It's just that the occasional shout of "help me" in the sound of Daji's piano makes him really uncomfortable, and he has the heart to help the poor soul, but he doesn't know where to start, after all, he can't protect himself now.
After a long time, Dixin summoned him again. This time, the location is not the Star Picking Tower, but the Nine Festival Hall.
Qiao Kun secretly calculated, but felt that there was a ray of vitality, so he followed the waiter.
He found that there was only Di Xin in the hall, and he stood in the main hall, dressed in royal robes, and looked very heroic.
Before Qiao Kun could meet him, Di Xin waved his hand to signal that he didn't need these false courtesies, and then he sighed, "Presumably Ji Chang has already passed the Lintong Pass at this time." ”
Qiao Kun is also counting the time, since Ji Chang left Chaoge, if he walks slowly, he should also pass the Lintong Pass, if he is fast, I am afraid that he will already be almost to the Cloud Pass.
I don't know what Di Xin brought this up for.
Di Xin looked at him and said, "This is to make you feel at ease, so I can talk to you." ”
But I don't know what Di Xin wants to talk about? Qiao Kun was puzzled in his heart, but he still replied: "Weichen is afraid, please speak, the king." ”
Di Xin asked, "Do you know how Great Xia perished?" ”
Q: What does this do? Qiao Kun replied cautiously: "Xia Jian spoils his sister and is happy, lascivious, tyrannical and unreasonable. The words felt wrong again, worried that Di Xin would think that he was insinuating him.
Di Xin's expression remained unchanged, "But it's not just like that, the rise and fall of the country is related to luck." ”
"Luck?" Of course, Qiao Kun knew that as soon as he said luck, he was now suppressed by humane luck, and his immortal cultivation could not be fully exerted.
Di Xin's words became more and more solemn, "The rise and fall of a country is all in luck, prosperity is prosperity, and luck is death." ”
In fact, Qiao Kun didn't think so, he believed that the decline of the country was caused by the misery of the people.
And the misery of the common people is actually because a small number of people have embezzled most of the wealth, either through taxes, or through land annexation, or through war, or by other means, or both.
Because it is too easy for a small number of people, and it is too difficult for the majority.
However, this is a world of immortals, and it may be different.
Seeing that he didn't seem to think so, Di Xin didn't explain and argue, but asked another question, "Do you know why there is a dragon qi in the luck of the country?" ”
Is it related to the Five Emperors Dragon Fist? Qiao Kun had to pretend to be confused, "The luck of the country has the dragon energy? Isn't it a Xuanniao? ”
Di Xin continued to explain: "Xuanniao is unique to my big business, but it is also a fact that the luck of humanity and the luck of the country have dragon energy. Since the birth of our human race, we have been entangled with the dragon race. Later, Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor even took the golden dragon to attain Taoism. ”
"Later, there was a dragon spirit in the national fortunes, but it was because Xia Wei was unwilling to weaken the country's fortunes, and acted against the sky with the nine sons of the dragon."
"They joined forces with the whole country to forge the four divine soldiers, in a vain attempt to establish the center. It's a pity that the luck is not good, and the luck is backfired, and even the Jiuding cast by King Yu can't be suppressed. The kingdom is destroyed and died. ”
"It's just that since then, there has been some dragon energy in the humanitarian national movement."
Qiao Kun listened more and more strangely, Xia Wei cooperated with the Dragon Clan, and the luck of the country should be the Xia Dynasty, what does it have to do with the Shang Dynasty?
Could it be that the Nine Sons of the Dragon and Xia Wei did it, so that all the future dynasties and national fortunes will carry dragon energy?
Is this the reason why the Son of Heaven was called the True Dragon Son of Heaven in the future?
Qiao Kun himself didn't know if his guess was reliable, if it was, it would be too ironic, it turned out that the so-called Emperor True Dragon in later generations was actually from the brutal Xia Wei.
He thought of the four divine weapons cast by Xia Wei again, and the "Baipi" that Qingfeng gave him was claimed to be only under the four artifacts, but it didn't seem to be anything special. What is the function of the Four Divine Soldiers?
Qiao Kun thought like this, and didn't reply, and Di Xin didn't care, "The Xia Dynasty fell, and even the nine sons of the dragon were greatly involved, and there was no news, and I don't know if it was extinct because of this." ”
Only then did Qiao Kun know why the Nine Sons of the Dragon had such a difficult time during this time, they were not tolerated by the world, presumably because of this luck.
experienced the catastrophe of the dragon and phoenix, and later involved the luck of destroying the country. It's no wonder that it is so weakened that even the four saints of Kowloon Island can't beat it.
Di Xin said again: "My ancestor Bingtian's order, hanging the people to fight crimes, Ming Tiao fought and destroyed Xia, and established my big business." On that day, my ancestor made the "Tang Oath", "This summer is full of sins, and the destiny of heaven will kill it." Fear God, dare not be wrong', after all, what you do is just to obey the destiny of heaven. ”
Qiao Kun didn't know that there were so many entanglements in this, and when he heard Di Xin's words, he followed him and said: "Xia Wei went against the sky, and there will be this disaster in the end. ”
Di Xin nodded when he heard this, and seemed to be very useful, but suddenly sighed, "How can the Mandate of Heaven favor one family alone?" If there is no accident in my big business, it will only be 20 years of national fortune. ”
