Twenty years later.

Jianye, the small courtyard where Fang Rui lives.

In the atrium, the pines and cypresses are becoming more and more verdant, and the moss climbs up the ancient wells and stone steps; The creeper planted on the south wall has overgrown a wall and has begun to spread towards the east corner.

The scenery in the small courtyard is more and more quiet, and the sun on this hot summer afternoon is difficult to penetrate the dense greenery, leaving only faint and subtle light and shadow on the pebble path.

This yard is like a pot of precipitated old tea, with traces of time.

People often say that people are outstanding and spiritual, which is good, and the stream like a mirror with a ribbon also seems to have spirituality, and it is not hurried to be injected into the water of the blue and blue pool that expands by the white jade pavilion, and you can see the big fish swimming in it.

"The deceased is like a husband, the law of time, is not like a trickle of water?"

Fang Rui sat on the edge of the pool, holding the fishing rod in both hands, looking at the slowly flowing spring water in the afternoon, contemplating the mutilated symbols on the strange objects on the panel in the sea, and the wisps of mystical aura around him fluctuated.

Swish!

He suddenly stretched out his hand.

Streaming down!

The golden sand by the stream flew up, melted in mid-air, and turned into a transparent glass jar, and strange forces surged around it, as if adding something magical to it.

"Here comes the water!"

Fang Rui spat out two words.

Whoa!

The clear pool water went upstream, came to the air, and poured into the glass tank, but the strange thing was that the small glass tank with a volume of only two or three liters was actually filled with several cubic meters of water.

This makes people wonder, how did it fit and how did it not break?

"Here come the fish!"

Fang Rui said again.

Poof!

A three-foot big red carp jumped out of the pool water, but magically passed through the mouth of a glass tank with a diameter of no more than three inches and fell into it.

After entering the glass tank, the movement of the gills of the red carp and the shaking of the tail of the fish slowed down all at once, as if it was 0.2 times the speed of slow motion.

"The sleeves are big, and the sun and the moon are long in the pot. This is the magic of the law of time and space! ”

Fang Rui held the glass jar in his right hand: "Because of the law of space, this glass jar looks small, but there are several cubes inside; Because of the law of time, the speed of time inside it is four or five times slower than that of the outside world. ”

In the past twenty years, even though he had the help of the panel to derive energy and combine the advantages of spirit masters and martial arts to create a new method, he had not made much progress, and the difficulty of this matter was beyond his original expectations.

However, in terms of comprehension of the law, it is quite gratifying, and the law of reincarnation has the deepest understanding, followed by the law of time and space.

Of course, it is still far from being completely mastered, but it is possible to use the power of time and space laws a little, and this glass tank is their practical application.

If someone who knows how to see it, it will definitely feel incredible, and be amazed by Fang Rui's comprehension of the laws of time and space.

But at this time, there were only two small audiences who witnessed this scene.

The activated puppet, compared to twenty years ago, was much more clever and wise, and at this time its little mouth opened and its eyes were round and wide.

"Hmmm?!"

Xiao Nian'er was even smarter, flying around the glass jar curiously, and a string of question marks seemed to slowly emerge on her little head.

In other words, Xin Xueer is now in her twenties and has become a female official, if it weren't for Xiu Mu, she wouldn't be here.

also because she grew up and had no time, these two little dots, who used to always frolic together, naturally followed Fang Rui.

"Lord, this is fishing?"

Li Cao came, compared with twenty years ago, his body was more and more majestic, but his attitude in front of Fang Rui was the same as before, and he was also much familiar with Fang Rui, he was not particular, he sat down next to him, and looked at the glass tank: "Didn't you put it back when you fished in the past, how did you catch it this time?" ”

"By the way, I remember, there are no such small red carp in the pool, and they are still sick."

Thanks to Xin Xueer's hard work in the past, the fish in this pool are basically fat and big, like fathead fish, and the entire waterhole has expanded and deepened twice.

"You'll know when you release it." Fang Rui said with a smile.

"Huh?!"

Li Cao took the glass jar, his hand sank, it was not the weight that it looked like on the surface, he frowned suspiciously, and poured down at the pool as he said.

Whoa!

The water poured out was much larger than the volume of the glass jar, and when the red carp flew out of the mouth of the pot, it instantly became three feet long.

And, jumping around, how can there be Alzheimer's, sluggish, and sick before?

An incredible look appeared in Li Caofeng's eyes, and it wasn't until the red carp swam around the pond that he came back to his senses: "Lord, what's going on?" ”

"The power of the law."

Fang Rui explained and asked about the matter: "Has the resolution of the Northern Expedition between the DPRK and China ever passed?" ”

"The reunification of China is the will of the people and the trend of the times, and it is naturally passed, and now the DPRK and China have begun to prepare." Li Cao affirmed.

"Alas!"

Fang Rui suddenly let out a sigh.

Twenty years have passed, and the incense god has become popular in the world, and the incense temples have substantially covered the nineteen states, and he sensed that the 'crowdfunding underworld plan' has been able to pick fruits, which also means that the great battle with the Holy Emperor is coming.

This is the upper-level factor.

On the other hand, the reform of Nanyu and the expansion of national strength, the DPRK, the central government, and the people, from top to bottom, have the interests of outward expansion; The reform of Dayu has also squeezed out some problems, which need to be vented and transferred to the outside world.

From these perspectives, the battle between Nanyu and Dayu is inevitable.

"Is the Lord worried about the results? Compared with the incomplete reform of Dayu, my Nanyu took the lead in setting off a change, although there is less than a state in Dayu, but the comprehensive national strength is still above Dayu, and under such an advantage, it will eventually achieve victory. Li Caofeng's eyes narrowed, with strong confidence.

"Are there absolutes in the things of the world? Dayu is not so easy to deal with! ”

Fang Rui shook his head.

In the past 20 years, Nanyu and Dayu have made great efforts to reform and change laws and accumulate national strength, which is like a long arms race.

He has laid out a lot of plans himself, and it is expected that the Holy Emperor will never be without action...... The battle between the two, the battle between the two countries, until the last moment, it is really hard to say whether the winner will be lost.

"I know, self-confidence is a good thing, but you can't be blind!"

Li Cao nodded slightly, and said another thing: "Xun Shoufu Zhishi, leaving Beijing today, can the Lord also go to see him?" ”

Fang Rui was silent.

In the past 20 years, he has been in-depth and simple, and all the state affairs of Dayu have been handed over to Li Cao, and it is difficult for civil and military ministers to see the true face in the past.

Xun Bai, the first assistant of the cabinet, was about to send a letter to the office a few days ago, hoping to ask to see Fang Rui, but he was refused.

"Let's go out for a walk, you go to find Yu Daoyou together."

"Lord, You ......"

Li Cao smiled and didn't continue, she knew that Fang Rui's personality seemed to be indifferent, but in fact, he was affectionate, so she decided to go.

Fang Rui went to change clothes, and she went to call Yu Yunlan.

Backyard.

The green bamboo planted in the early years is now lush and majestic.

In the bamboo shadow of the afternoon scenery, Yu Yunlan sat alone in the secluded fence, with the Xianyao qin placed in front of him, the sound of the piano was one, and it was as cold as Chang'e on the moon.

Li Cao pursed his lips secretly, remembering that time, he saw the two of them getting up and going out together.

She explained her intentions.

"Okay." Yu Yunlan agreed.

……

Jianye Center Grand Plaza.

Fang Rui, Li Cao, and Yu Yunlan came in a cover.

On the square, bicycles pass through like shuttles; There are also rickshaws that solicit customers; There are also vending machines, and many literati buy newspapers with coins......

Such a scene, the people of Nanyu twenty years ago, I am afraid they could not have imagined.

Obviously, as the capital of Nanyu, the first good place, the people of Jianye have begun to change to eat well and have spare money to spend.

People hold their heads high one by one, with the pride of a big place, the pride of the people of the capital, and only when they see people wearing official uniforms will they show envy.

Yes, there is also a chain of contempt in this.

The officials of the Nanyu Dynasty and the Central People's Republic of China, who had a system before and after their deaths, had the strongest sense of superiority in their hearts; Then, there are the indigenous people of Jianye, who have a psychological advantage over outsiders; Outsiders also have a sense of pride in Dayu.

Thanks to the newspaper publicity, now the people of Nanyu know that it has been 21 years since the gods, and Dayu still has the behavior of 'refining medicine with people', oh my God, what are the people of Dayu living in?

Such a comparison, a sense of superiority is suddenly born.

Fang Rui, Li Cao, and Yu Yunlan walked through the square.

A thief-eyed man suddenly came over, lifted his clothes and took out a pamphlet, and said mysteriously: "Childe, I see that the heavenly court is full and the face is rich, and he will definitely be able to slaughter the officials in the future...... My friend's uncle is from the DPRK...... Get the secret scroll of the scientific expedition, and give you twenty taels of silver......"

"Don't! No! ”

Fang Rui waved his hand and sent this person away, turned around and smiled at Li Cao and Yu Yunlan and said, "Do I look like a fool like this?" ”

Both girls had smiles on their faces.

Compared with twenty years ago, Yu Yunlan still seems to be cold, and everything does not linger in his heart, but in fact, he has changed a lot, at least in front of an acquaintance like Fang Rui, it is much more vivid.

At this time, she looked at Li Cao, took the initiative to start the topic, and joked: "Sister doesn't care? ”

"How? If you don't have a brain, you believe that the secret scroll is real, and you deserve to be fooled. ”

Li Cao sighed: "In the past, there were too many fools and liars were not enough, but now, few people believe it." ”

Back then, during the second scientific expedition, there were many people who bought fake secret papers and reported them to the officials afterwards.

This kind of thing, if you buy real test questions, it is a big thing for the sky to fall, and the fake secret paper is pure fun.

Jianye City God Temple, located in the center of the main square, is now surrounded by shops, has been an inch of land, non-rest days are also a flow of people.

Fang Rui and the three of them did not enter, he stood in the distance and walked through the City God Temple with a pair of eyes, and saw the incense god clone in the City God Domain, reflecting the golden light, the divine power like the sea, and the divine power like hell.

After devouring the 'Kunlun Mirror' and the 'Chaos Four Elephant Flags' on the panel, he extended and updated the "Incense Treasure Sutra" again, coupled with the rolling incense and fire luck offerings in Nanyu Kyushu, this incense god doppelganger, the first incense god in heaven and earth, has now reached the level of quasi-fourth-order.

If Fang Rui wins the battle with the Holy Emperor, this clone will even ascend to the position of the Immortal Monarch and become a terrifying existence of a half-step saint.

He didn't stay in the City God Temple for a long time, passing by the teahouse, Fang Rui suddenly glanced at it, and said 'what a coincidence' in his heart, but his footsteps did not stop, and he took Yu Yunlan and Li Cao away.

Above the teahouse.

Jiang Chen, Wang Chong, and Li Shiwen reunited again after many years.

Back then, after Jiang Chen watched politics in Beijing for a year, he was transferred to the local government, and after a long journey, he was only now promoted.

Wang Chong is in the Academy of Sciences of the Ministry of Industry, and he has been working for so many years.

Li Shiwen has not been in school for seven years, completely abandoned the idea of scientific research, and did business with peace of mind.

The three of them are in different circumstances, and they reunite after many years, just like a class reunion after graduation, when the real state of mind is extremely complicated, and they are embarrassed.

The rustiness at the beginning, between pushing the cup and changing the lamp, has also disappeared, as if returning to 20 years ago, the atmosphere is warm, talking about the family, talking about their respective development.

"Brother Jiang's return to Beijing this time and entering the center is like a fish entering the sea, a dragon soaring into the sky, and the future is immeasurable!" Li Shiwen poured wine for Jiang Chen.

"Where, it's not as good as Brother Wang in the Academy of Sciences, and he has made even achievements, and now he is higher than me!" Jiang Chen waved his hand.

"This ...... Brother Jiang, Brother Li, you don't know, I'm bitter! Housing is not easy, housing prices are high, prices are high, and the DPRK and China are not low, and if they are used for living, there will be a surplus. ”

Wang Chong said, with a bitter face: "It's just that I have three sons, and when they get married in the future, they need three houses, the first set is allocated by the imperial court, which is okay, it can be left to the eldest son in the future, but there are still two sets of gaps...... I originally thought that the housing price of Jianye would fall, and I would wait a little longer, but the more I waited, the higher the housing price would be, and the more I could not afford it. ”

"Nowadays, when I open my eyes every day, I am not so far from buying a second house...... Alas, how can it compare to Brother Li's family's wealth. ”

Because of the incense god system, Nanyu officials are extremely honest in officialdom, and all the officials are clean and self-conscious.

- You are not clean and self-conscious, and some people force you to clean yourself, but no, countless pairs of eyes are staring, just waiting for you to take the initiative to make mistakes and pull off the horse.

Therefore, it's okay to be an official with peace of mind, but if you want to get black income, it's a dream, that is, gray income, and you have to take the big risk of losing your position.

"What about all the money? I didn't know it was the material in the first seven tests, and I escaped from home to do business, because of this incident, my father didn't forgive me until he died, and I didn't have the shame to see the ancestors of the Li family after I died! ”

Li Shiwen hid his face and sighed: "When it comes to death, you are all people with a system, and after death, you are also incense gods, I will ......"

Every time he thought about this, he had mixed feelings, not knowing whether it was right or wrong to escape at the beginning, and he also thought countless times whether he would have succeeded in landing if he had persevered a little longer.

The three of them said, talking about the general trend today.

"Looking at the direction of the wind, it seems that I, Nanyu, want to use troops against Dayu. I heard that there is still a matter of 'refining medicine with people' on the side of Dayu now, which is simply absurd and ignorant, and it is intolerable to immortalize heaven. Jiang Chen filmed the case.

"I don't have a good impression of Dayu either. It's just that the war is together, if it can't be stopped, it will last for a long time, and I am afraid that the common people will be robbed! But beg for this battle, I Nanyu can win quickly! ”

Wang Chong's face was sad.

He was convinced of Nanyu's victory, but he just hoped for a quick victory.

"Brother Wang, rest assured."

Li Shiwen comforted: "Dayu reform, mostly follow my Nanyu, the comprehensive national strength is also much behind, my Nanyu is too strategic everyone, I don't think it will be delayed for too long." ”

They are confident, or rather, this is what most people in Nanyu think.

……

But I have confidence in me, I really can't lose this battle!" ’

Fang Rui sighed secretly and paused.

"Lord, what's wrong?"

"It's okay, let's go! Calculate the time, it's almost time, let's go to the West Station outside the city! ”
