274: Return to Jia Mansion again
Xue Bao'er finally returned to Qianjing.
Qianjing seems to be more prosperous, perhaps because the population is larger.
The population of the whole of Dongzhou has decreased dramatically, but the population of some of the big cities has increased, because the people of the small towns, or the people in the towns, have moved to the vicinity of the big cities.
Even the population of Sanjiangkou is much larger, and it looks very prosperous, and on this section of the road from Sanjiangkou to Qianjing, when Xue Bao'er left the ferry, she walked on the frozen river with her two apprentices, and she couldn't help but think of her feelings when she walked on this glacier.
At that time, my grandfather died, helpless, and was instructed by Shi Wuxie of the God Catcher to find Lou Jinchen to escort.
At that time, she just wanted to be able to go to Jia's house safely, but at that time, many things that were usually simple seemed to have become difficult.
Therefore, when she was escorted by Lou Jinchen, the gratitude in her heart never faded.
Many people are grateful to Dade when they are helped by others, but after they get through the difficulties, they will slowly forget what they were helped against, and even if they don't forget, they will dilute it.
Xue Bao'er had been helped, and even at this time, she still remembered every minute and every second when she was helpless.
Her two disciples, Yi Qixia and Zhou Qingyun, both disciples are southerners, this is the first time to come to the north, and it is also the first time to see such a big snow, and they have never seen such thick ice.
Xue Bao'er came to Jiafu with two disciples, and the purpose of her coming here was just because she had concerns in her heart.
This is where her only relatives are.
Her surname is Xue, and it stands to reason that she should go to the Xue family, but the Xue family has already fallen, otherwise, her grandfather would not follow Jia's mother to do things.
And Xue Baoer's only relative now is Jia's mother.
When she returned to Jia's house again, she found that Jia's house looked brighter than when she left, the courtyard was obviously repaired, and the courtyard walls were all cleanly painted, without moss and vines.
In Xue Baoer's impression twenty or thirty years ago, the Jia family was rejuvenated.
When she stood in front of the door of Jiafu with her two disciples, there was a porter inside who saw her, but he didn't know her anymore, because she was so eye-catching.
She was dressed in a blue dress, looking dignified and magnificent, with an indescribable brightness, and a small and beautiful treasure bag tied around her waist.
The one on the right hand side is silver, elongated, and the one on the left hand side is semicircular, like a small silver embroidered lock.
On her feet she was wearing a pair of deerskin silver boots, her underwear was white, showing a circle, and her black hair was coiled, which made her whole temperament look extraordinary.
And he was surrounded by two female disciples, which showed the coldness of his body and a trace of high-cultivation nobility.
Xue Bao'er went up to report her name, she was led in, and someone ran to report to Jia's mother.
Not long after, Xue Baoer was introduced into the inner house by a woman.
Then, she saw the noble Jia Mu, and she took two disciples, but she looked thin and shabby.
Later, the news of her return spread, and people from all over the Jia Mansion came to see her, all wearing glittering jewelry.
There are those who protect themselves, those who gather energy, and those who calm the mind......
Treasure clothes, ornaments, jade pendants, tea, pastries, ornaments, all kinds of pieces, all of which are extraordinary.
It seems that Xue Baoer's master and apprentice are all cold.
Xue Bao'er sat there, calm, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, responding to the greetings of all generations in the house.
Now she is no longer a junior here, there are people she knew before and people she didn't know, and they all brought their children to meet Xue Bao'er.
"Bao'er, you've been there all these years?" Jia Mu asked.
"yes, it's just south of there, in the mountains of fish." Xue Baoer said.
"Alone, lonely, look at you, people are deserted." Jia Mu said.
Xue Bao'er smiled and said, "Grandma, it's nothing, I'm used to it alone, besides, I also accepted two disciples, and there are many neighbors in the mountain." ”
"It's okay to accept two disciples and be a companion, but without a relative by your side, it's always worrying! I won't leave when I come back this time, just stay at home! Jia Mu said.
At this time, many people in the house, all of them were richly dressed women, some she knew, some she didn't know, and everyone vied together to persuade her to stay.
In person, everyone also thought that she would stay.
Xue Bao'er smiled and didn't answer.
"I've already written to your cousin, and he would be glad to know you're back." Jia Mu said.
"Bao'er is also happy to see her cousin." Xue Bao'er said that although she was a little unhappy in Taixue many years ago, but now that she thinks about it, it was just a trivial matter, and it was nothing.
"Since you left, your cousin has also worked hard to cultivate, and finally entered the eye of the national teacher, worshiped him as a teacher, and became a true disciple in the endless mountain!" Mother Jia said with a little pride, Xue Bao'er knew very well that her cousin Jia Yu was the top of her aunt's heart, and if he could be motivated, then she must be extremely happy.
"It's really great that my cousin can enter the eye of the national teacher, but what's going on with this endless mountain?" Xue Bao'er asked.
"Yes, Yu'er has often been worried about you since you left, saying that when you left, she was angry that he was not motivated, so she wanted you to see what he looked like now, but you have been gone for so many years, but you are still angry with your cousin?" Jia Mu asked.
"Auntie, how could my granddaughter be angry with my cousin, I was also entrusted by the master of the building to send Bai Xiaozhu back to Qunyu Mountain." Xue Baoer explained that she did have a feeling of being under the fence back then, and she also felt that her cousin Jia Yu did not like her closeness to Lou Jinchen.
"Have you apprenticed to Lou Jinchen as a teacher?" Jia Mu said.
Xue Bao'er pondered for a while and said: "Although I don't have the name of master and apprentice, I have the reality of master and apprentice, and my cultivation method is all passed down by Master Lou." Xue Baoer said.
"That can also be said to be the true story." Jia Mu said.
"I just heard my aunt and grandmother say that my cousin is the true biography of the national teacher, what is the true biography?" Xue Bao'er asked, although she was a little curious, but the whole person sat there, as if sitting on the bluestone in the mountains, facing the starry sky and darkness, not timid.
Among the women sitting in the room, some people saw the unique temperament of Xue Bao'er.
It is a kind of temperament that in their eyes, they see the cold at first, but the more they come into contact, the more they feel noble.
"The national teacher opened up the endless mountain in the mountains north of the city, and established a Taoist system to collect disciples, of which the disciples are divided into the true transmission of the twelve, seventy-two inner gates, and three hundred and sixty outer gates."
"The true transmission in this is the person who has been approved by the national teacher and can really preach his Taoism." Jia Mu said with a little pride.
"That cousin is really amazing, Master Lou once said that the national teacher is an amazing person, but, where is this endless mountain? How have you never heard of it? Xue Baoer said.
Jia Mu also sighed slightly, glanced at these people sitting at home, and thought that time had passed, and there was nothing to say, so she said: "The place where this Endless Mountain is located is the place where the national teacher suppressed the high priest back then, and as for the means used by the national teacher to open up the endless mountain, no one knows. ”
"Originally, after the suppression of the high priest, there was only an illusory mountain that could be seen, but for so many years, the mountain has continued to grow, and it has become a group of mountains, which has the potential to connect with the starry sky, and it is difficult to distinguish between the virtual and the real, and the mountains grow as if endless." Jia Mu's words were full of emotion.
She is also strong in her life, rarely convincing people, she felt cold and admired for Lou Jinchen's almost unscrupulous swordsmanship, and she was even more convinced of the national teacher's ability to open up endless mountains between heaven and earth, and she even felt that no one in the world could win the national teacher.
And Wang Shang, who has not shown up all along, is not easy to guess, but her insight can no longer imagine what a person who wants to surpass the national teacher will be like.
Xue Bao'er was also shocked, opening up the real mountain range in the void, turning the void into reality, this kind of great ability is indeed something she has never seen.
Although she has also heard Lou Jinchen say that 'ten thousand laws are born from delusion', falsehood can lead to truth, and she can understand this law, but it still makes her feel incredible that someone really does it.
In my heart, I couldn't help but compare Lou Jinchen with the national teacher.
After comparison, she felt that Lou Jinchen might not be able to do it, but she would definitely be able to understand what kind of means this was, and she believed that Lou Jinchen would not be able to trap him with a sword.
This way, she has experienced many big battles from Qunyu Mountain in Jiangzhou to here, and she has also encountered a lot of opponents in the fourth realm, she was a little nervous from the beginning, and then faced the opponents in the fourth realm, full of confidence.
At first, she may still need the Ming Jade Sword and the tricky mirror sent by Lou Jinchen to defeat the enemy, but later, a sword is enough, and she feels that the swordsmanship taught by Master Lou has become more and more integrated in the process of coming to the capital.
In her heart, Lou Jinchen's swordsmanship is like a fog like a mountain, and like a star in the sky, only a little light, swaying and ethereal, but when it falls, it goes straight into her heart.
She had seen Lou Jinchen's Lingming swordsmanship practiced in the mountains, and at first glance it seemed that the sword was faster and the changes were more mellow and skillful, but each of them had a kind of magic hidden in it.
Once, she saw that Lou Jinchen's sword posture was getting easier and simpler the more she practiced, and it was extremely simple to stab and slash, so she proposed to try it with Lou Jinchen.
And the result of the competition was that her sword moved first, but she was picked off by Lou Jinchen's sword, and then when she controlled her sword, Lou Jinchen's sword had stopped at the center of her eyebrows.
This sword made her understand the role of swords when fighting with others, how to slash the weak points of mana on other people's swords, and how to use the reaction force on other people's swords to make her sword faster.
In the following years, she competed with swords again and again, so that her swordsmanship was quickly introduced, but it was only now, in the thrilling battles with others, that she really integrated swordsmanship, and it was not until now that she dared to say that she had entered the door of swordsmanship.
In the next few days, Jiafu set up several large and small banquets for her.
So Xue Baoer's name also spread out of Jiafu, and one day, Jia Yu came back and brought a fellow door back.
As the true disciple of Endless Mountain now, and the eldest grandson of the Jia family, his status is very high.
When Jia Baoer saw him, he was still dressed in cotton embroidery, but compared with back then, he was a little less frivolous, and a little more confident and calm.
"Cousin, you're back." Jia Yu has his hands behind his back, a gorgeous short sword hanging from his waist, and a yellow crown on his head, and a piece of jade inlaid in the middle of the yellow crown.
There are two jade belts on the crown, floating on the chest, and the clothes on the body are also red and white, which looks festive and has a sense of vitality.
Xue Bao'er stood up and said, "Cousin! ”
"Cousin, you went to learn swords with Lou Jinchen back then, I don't know what kind of realm he has reached now?" Jia Yu asked directly in front of everyone.
However, all the people present were from Jiafu, and they didn't feel that there was a problem with Jia Yu's questioning, even Jia's mother looked at it with a smile.
Xue Bao'er sat there silent for a moment, not answering immediately.
But the two disciples standing behind her knew that their master must be unhappy, because they all sounded a little weird.
Because they have lived on the Jiangzhou side for many years, they know very well that in the Jiangzhou area, Lou Jinchen's reputation is very great, and there are many people who have benefited from it, so few people will call him by his name, and no one will shout the words 'Lou Jinchen' to ask his realm.
There is a sense of the weight of the crown, a sense of provocation.
Of course, in this capital, Lou Jinchen's reputation has long faded with the washing of the sun and the moon, and even Jia Mu doesn't think there is anything wrong with Jia Yu calling Lou Jinchen's name.
Over the years, the mountain road is far away, the news is difficult to get through, and Lou Jinchen's reputation has long faded. In addition, Jia Yu, as the true inheritance of the Endless Mountain, has also cultivated a high level, and his heart has risen again.
After all, in the eyes of these people, names are used to call people, and it makes no sense that the name of 'Lou Jinchen' can't be called.
"What is the realm of Master Lou, my cousin doesn't know, but why does my cousin bluntly talk about the name of the elder?" She seems to be asking, but in fact she is asking.
As soon as Xue Bao'er's words came out, the room suddenly became quiet, after all, there was almost no one in the entire Jia Mansion who dared to question Jia Yu except for Jia Mu.
And Jia's mother has always loved Jia Yu, so how could she reprimand Jia Yu.
Jia Yu's face changed, and Jia's mother's original smiling face was gone.
"Lou Jinchen is not much older than us, why is he an elder?" Jia Yu said directly.
"Master Lou used to be a lecturer in Taixue, that is, you and I are the teacher, why are you not an elder?" Xue Bao'er stood there slim, but like a green pine on the edge of the cliff, standing in the wind.
"He only taught you, but not me." After Jia Yu finished speaking, he immediately smiled and said, "Okay, whatever my cousin says, I won't call him by his name anymore, how about calling him Lou to talk about it?" ”
Xue Bao'er also took a deep breath and nodded.
Jia Mu smiled and said: "It's good to call it a lecturer, Lou said that he used to be a lecturer in Taixue, and he was also a serious background in the imperial court." ”
Xue Bao'er sat down again, today's banquet was quite big, because Jia Yu came back and brought his fellow senior brother back, Jia Fu naturally needed to be entertained.
She frowned slightly, thought about it in her heart, and still said, "Grandma, the master of the building is now the commander of the Jiangzhou Prefecture." ”
"Oh, really?" Jia Mu asked with some surprise.
Xue Bao'er nodded and said: "Jiangzhou's original government order is dead, and a big change is imminent, and Jiangzhou's public cultivators support Lou Shi as the acting government order, and it has been until now." ”
Before Jia Mu could speak, Jia Yu only frowned slightly, but the monk who came with her naturally spoke: "Senior brother, do you remember that Shizun once said that if the twelve of us go out of the town and each state capital, at least it must be the order of the government. ”
Jia Yu thought about it, he didn't remember it very well, it seemed that the master had indeed mentioned such a mouth, but the specific meaning was not very clear.
"The personal disciples of the National Teacher are naturally qualified to leave the Zhenzhou Mansion." Jia Mu said with a smile.
Xue Bao'er was silent, she didn't speak, she also knew at this time that she had followed Master Lou to learn swords, and for so many years, she might have become a thorn in the Jia family.
At that time, Lou Jinchen had a great reputation in this capital, but after all, it was short-lived, like a meteor passing by, and people were always forgetful.
"Come, we have a cup today, welcome my cousin back home, from now on, the tired bird returns to the nest, everything, there is a cousin, grandma and the Jia family are in charge, and the cousin doesn't have to sleep outside the wind and dinner." Jia Yu raised his glass and said.
"Yu'er is right." Jia Mu said with a smile.
In the first month, there is a lot of wine, and I can't drink too much to drink, and I can't wake up when I'm drunk.
