12 The Old Eunuch (2)

The former generation of sword immortals was none other than the white-haired old man Wu Qilong.

When was this person born? There was no one but himself who could tell.

The old man just kept his mouth shut about his experience.

Since the current emperor ascended the throne, the white-haired old man Wu Qilong has been in the palace for thousands of years. Because when the first emperor was in Yan, he once had an edict telling the current emperor to support and treat the white-haired old man Wu Qilong well. Unless it is related to the national fortunes of the Han Dynasty or the national lineage of the Lantian Kingdom, there is no such danger, and this person must not be used.

Usually, the princes can practice martial arts with him. Moreover, whoever the white-haired old man Wu Qilong likes can teach this martial art. Don't force it. If the old man thinks that which one is not the material for martial arts, then this person or this prince can only practice literature and not martial arts.

The edict of the first emperor said that this person had gone through four generations of monarchs of Lantian State, and he had saved his life for the emperor who founded Lantian State. But because he had killed too much, he was guilty of great sins. Put down the butcher knife from then on. Because of the miraculous deeds of the world, the sins of the past will not be investigated. No recognition will be given for past attacks.

Fang Kunyu, the king of Lantian, just knew that the white-haired old man Wu Qilong was once a generation of sword immortals. A mouthful of immortals walked the rivers and lakes, defeated how many world's first masters, and eradicated how many disasters in the world. There's no way to know. With the late illness of the general, together with Emperor Gao, he founded the Lantian Kingdom in the Western Regions. After the founding of the Lantian Kingdom, Wu Qilong disappeared.

Until Emperor Gao Yan drove it, Wu Qilong reappeared in the rivers and lakes.

Emperor Taizong also wanted to call him uncle, because Emperor Taizong had been practicing martial arts with him since he was a child. There is not only the love of master and apprentice, but also the difference between uncle and nephew. Because Emperor Taizong was very young when he ascended the throne. Emperor Gao designated Wu Qilong as the minister of Tuogu.

Wu Qilong still relied on this Longquan sword to gradually stabilize the blue sky country where the government was still unstable. watched Emperor Taizong grow up day by day. Wu Qilong slowly retreated into the background and returned to Emperor Taizong. What was done is not recorded in the history of the Spring and Autumn Period. Doctor Chunqiu just spread the word. Some anecdotes about him have been relayed.

According to Ouyang Chuncheng, the Spring and Autumn Doctor of the current dynasty, Wu Qilong came and went to the harem more frequently in the early days of assisting Emperor Taizong. I don't know what to do with a certain concubine. received the body of the Queen Mother. Since then, he has been grounded in the harem. Let him no longer get involved in court politics.

Although he committed the capital crime of defying the condemnation of the world, he wanted to stabilize the government. The little emperor cannot be left to power alone. It was also to deter the descendants of the Gulou Lan Kingdom at that time. did not correct Wu Qilong, leaving him alive. It's because he is a generation of sword immortals. With him, the opposition forces inside and outside the court were able to secretly make a move, and did not dare to put it into action.

The profundity of Wu Qilong's martial arts is well known. It is also a well-known generation of sword immortals. But no one saw him use the Longquan Sword against the enemy. Mainly due to the fact that no enemy has ever challenged him. At the mention of his name, the enemies would have fled.

It was still during the reign of Emperor Gao, some warriors of the Han Dynasty held all kinds of strange weapons. Come to Lantian Country and challenge the sword immortal Wu Qilong. At this time, Emperor Gao would choose a pure place. Let Wu Qilong deal with those samurai alone.

No matter how many people there were, no matter what kind of weapons they used, what kind of martial arts they used, Wu Qilong always had a sword in his hand, the sword was not unsheathed, and the soldiers were not bloody, so their weapons were captured. Slowly, a large mountain of weapons was formed. And Wu Qilong will always hold the Inner Longquan Sword.

During the time of Emperor Taizong, there were no warriors from the Han Dynasty to challenge. Anyone who comes here, no matter where they come from, no matter which sect they are, as long as they hear the name of Sword Immortal Wu Qilong, all the martial arts sects will retreat. No one dares to argue with Wu Qilong anymore and challenge.

At the time of Emperor Taizong, Wu Qilong was already nearly seventy years old. The third generation of Emperor Renzong, for more than ten years, never saw Wu Qilong appear in the court again. It's as if the whole person has been silenced.

The current emperor ascended the throne, and only the edict of Emperor Renzong was left about Wu Qilong. Lantian King Fang Kunyu has been in power for more than twenty years, and the sword immortal Wu Qilong seems to have disappeared. Not only is there no trace, but even any rumors have been silenced. A generation of sword immortals. It's like it never existed in this world.

There is a white-haired old man in the Taimiao, who is responsible for cleaning every day. Watching him come out and go in, no one connected him with a generation of sword immortal Wu Qilong. I only know that this is an old eunuch sweeping the floor.

Every day, when the genius is bright, the white-haired old man holds a broom, walks on horseback, waving various postures, and flips a broom up and down. With the movement of the broom, the dust is swept away.

Clean once a day in the morning, noon and evening. The white-haired old man took on this task alone. Taimiao is always clean. No big eunuch cared about the white-haired old man. The gray-haired old man didn't cause any trouble to anyone. It's just cleaning the temple every day.

Occasionally, the old man will be naughty.

The eunuchs once saw a white-haired old man who broke off a bamboo stick from a broom. Facing the wind, he threw it out. The crows that were croaking in the sky were shot to the ground by bamboo sticks. Although the crows fell to the ground, they did not die. Flapping wings and struggling on the ground. Blood stained the ground of the temple red.

The white-haired old man looked at it and soiled the ground of the temple. All of a sudden, I was in a hurry. The broom in his hand flew up and down, and the crows that were struggling with their feet were pulled out of their hairs. And these plucked feathers, under the command of the broom, cleaned up the ground of the Taimiao. And those crows have long since disappeared.

All of this happened in an instant. White-haired old man, quick to act. It's something that no one can guess. From shooting with a toothpick, to plucking the feathers off the crow's body, to cleaning up the blood-stained ground of the Taimiao, it was done in one go.

Finally, these feathers, blown by a strong air current, are concentrated in the garbage heap. And the white-haired old man just patted it out lightly with his palm, and all this was done. There was a little eunuch who watched secretly. Thrown out by a powerful air current. He broke his hands and feet, and spat blood. If it weren't for the timely treatment of the doctor, he would have died a long time ago.

The white-haired old man is like a child. I know I'm in trouble. Be behaving when sweeping the floor. Neither did any tricks nor was he naughty. It was a period of calm and calm. But the cleaning three times a day in the morning, noon and evening, is more careful and cleaner.

This time, Fang Kunyu, the king of Lantian, personally came out to invite him out of the mountain, explaining the seriousness of this matter. To keep the little prince safe, you have to give him the work of your life. It makes the white-haired old man feel more and more wonderful.

A current emperor. An unknown old eunuch. The two of them have such a tacit understanding. It is unimaginable to all the people in the palace. No one knows the details of the old eunuch, let alone anyone knows. What did the emperor say to him?

I only know that from that day on, the white-haired old man has stopped sweeping the floor.

No one knows what the white-haired old man Wu Qilong is doing.

It's just that one day someone saw the white-haired old man in the prison. He was chatting with the little prince. This old and young are innocent and cute. We had a lot of fun.
