Volume 2, The Journey of the Husband and the Gentleman Chapter 14, The Immortals
Second Brother Chen looked at the white-faced scholar's ugly face and raised his eyebrows, and said, "You want to kill me?" ”
His eyebrows became more and more raised, like a scythe about to fly, "For so many years, no matter how hard you try, you are still on the edge of the officialdom in Yong'an City, doing inconsequential idle things. You have always regarded yourself as a scholar and lived a semi-reclusive life, wanting your colleagues to think that you are indifferent to fame and fortune and enjoy a quiet life. But are you really like that? You are the most active one in the destruction of the Bai family, and you are the one who is the most desperate to kill Bai Xi, you are so anxious, anxious to prove yourself! I'm in a hurry to dissociate myself from the Bai family! I am anxious to make a steady stride in this Dayu officialdom! And now, all the big names in Yong'an City don't want to come forward, and you're here again. You're going to kill me? How are you going to kill me? ”
The white-faced scholar's face was extremely difficult to see.
Second Brother Chen continued: "The entire imperial court most hopes that our Chen family can die a few more people, and it is best to die all of them. But they don't want the people of the Chen family to die in Yong'an City, in this Dayu territory. This matter, many people can't compare. That's why, until now, none of the big names behind them have shown up. Because no one wants to face me, this is what the Dayu Imperial Court owes to our Chen family, but you came forward to be the first bird at this time. ”
"So, are you stupid?"
The white-faced scholar didn't speak, he naturally knew the pros and cons of this, but he still came after all, someone had to come forward in the end, and he had to come for a reason.
Because of the continuous thunder and the loud bang, many people suddenly gathered in front of the archway of Pingkangfang, and among those people were many prostitutes who spent a lot of money, as well as those fragrant Oiran doors.........
The environment gradually became noisy.
The crowd gathered more and more, and the fight had to be stopped, and the Yew soldiers dispersed the crowd, and everyone slowly left.
The white-faced scholar looked at the scattered crowd, and finally his eyes fell on Second Brother Chen, and asked, "Do you think you can return to Xifeng smoothly?" ”
Second Brother Chen said as a matter of course: "Of course, otherwise? You're going to kill and see? ”
The white-faced scholar turned to leave, and as he left, he said, "This farce is over here. ”
Second Brother Chen said at his turned back: "The decision of whether the saucer is killed or lived is in your hands, this Yong'an City has not been set foot in our Chen family for a long time, but it does not mean that we have been biased and looked down on everything, these eight words are also sent to you by me." ”
There has never been joy, and naturally it is unhappy.
Second Brother Chen didn't go to Pingkangfang in the end, after all, anyone who passes through such a long street will always be slowly exhausted. He didn't go to the so-called tea and dinner parties, because what had to be said had already been said, and any more words were enough. And he didn't want to see those people, his high-minded face was really ugly.
Returning the same way, they walked down the long street and did not say a word for a long time.
The long street all the way seems to be full of rivers and lakes, but it is actually a very funny thing.
Some people are forced to block the road, some people are because they are as heavy as a mountain, and some people are trying to kill people. The reason is also the reason why it is funny, Chen Ergongzi wants to talk about business with these big people in Yong'an City, in the largest Qinglou in Yong'an City, Xianju Building. But who wants to go to that kind of place with big heads and faces? If someone else does it, it's nonsense, but if Chen Ergongzi does it, it's deliberately slapping those people's faces.
Are the people of the Chen family easy to bully? The people of the Chen family have never been easy to bully!
Perhaps because of the previous events, Bai Jiu's face was a little gloomy and erratic.
As the younger brother who has been seen by him since he was a child, Second Brother Chen looked at Bai Jiu's face, and naturally knew what he was thinking, he hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I can't beat him, and you can't beat him." ”
Bai Jiu looked up at him.
Second Brother Chen continued: "If you want to take revenge, there is still a long way to go, so you don't have to be sad at this time, let alone be angry. Before life and death, generosity is easy, but it is difficult to be calm. ”
Bai Jiu nodded and said with a smile: "I'm fine." ”
Second Brother Chen looked at him and sighed, and shook his head with some pity.
Family feud, family hatred, the enemy is powerless in front of him, how can such emotions be offset by the word nothing.
Bai Jiu said, "Second brother, let's go to the bar." ”
Second Brother Chen smiled: "It should be like this tonight. ”
Only wine is enough to comfort the wind and dust.
…………
Leaving the Pingkangfang Building, the white-faced scholar went all the way to the west, and then walked in the direction of Beicheng.
Passing by the locust tree, he didn't stop, he didn't turn to look, he walked straight by, his face was very ugly, and his originally fair face was a little unnatural at this time.
He went to the Yew Garden and walked straight in.
For some other reason, the Yew Garden was not closed tonight, the gate of the garden was wide open, and there were many Yew soldiers standing outside the door, wearing iron armor and holding spears in their hands, and their waist knives hanging, as if they were ready to go out at any time.
The three young soldiers stood on the bluestone avenue in front of the door, there were no lights in the garden, the night was dark, and the stars were shining, shining on the faces of the three people, each with its own color.
The white-faced scholar said coldly, "I need an explanation. ”
Changkong stood to one side expressionlessly, with his hands behind his back. The remnant sword even had a ghost face attached to his face, and he couldn't see any look when he stood on the other side.
Gu Qingyang was in the middle of the two, and he was also in the middle of the bluestone avenue, he was originally looking at the crooked crescent moon in the sky, and when he heard the question of the white-faced scholar, he slowly looked over.
The person that the white-faced scholar looked at directly was Gu Qingyang.
"A few years ago, I was born with a vision, and the spiritual rain fell on the world. Lord Zhuge saw that there was a grand light that started in the South China Sea and finally fell into Nanyang County. Then the fairy sword fell from the sky, and huge waves swept across the coast, wreaking havoc on the city, and it was about to cause a catastrophe. At the critical moment, the saint made a move, and everything fell to the ground. Daomen Buddhism has a saying that the fairy sword can cut the evil demons and foreign ways, so it follows the vision of heaven and earth, and falls with the grand light. ”
"It was then that His Majesty the Emperor decided to make a move against the Nanyang Bai family. After the cool weather in autumn, the Bai family besieged and killed, and no one survived. Until this young man surnamed Bai came to Yong'an City, Xianjian rioted twice, and the Academy of Liberal Arts behaved abnormally. Under the Qingtan of the Imperial Palace, in the mirror of mountains and rivers, the two Spirit Venerables have their own movements, and the grand light that was chased by the fairy sword a few years ago is very likely to have fallen into the Bai family. The immortals who fell into the world? Maybe it's really Bai Jiu. ”
"It is rumored that the immortals, the last male of the Nanyang Bai family, are all possible."
"So you still need an explanation?"
The white-faced scholar frowned, now he didn't care if the young man named Bai Jiu was the only male of the Bai family in Nanyang County, because the current Bai Jiu was an ant that could be pinched to death by reaching out to him. What he cared about was that if it was really as Gu Qingyang said, Bai Jiu was the reincarnation of the legendary immortal who fell into the human world, then why did the two Spirit Venerables react?
The two Lingzun have survived for thousands of years, even older than the Tang Dynasty, from ancient times. And if it is really as the Taoist Buddhism said, the fairy sword can cut the evil demons and foreign ways, then why does the fairy sword follow that grand light? Why did Bai Jiu riot twice in a row after entering Yong'an City? This legendary immortal? What kind of immortal is it?
Changkong said: "Lord Wensheng may know, but Lingmen's actions have never been with the same heart as the imperial court, they always do things that we can't understand, or what they think is right. ”
From the time Bai Jiu entered Yong'an City, whether it was the Fairy Sword Riot, or the blizzard and autumn sun at night in Dongcheng, or the results of the Qianlong Test, Zhushan was all involved, but no one knew why they did it.
In the collections of Daomen and Buddhism, there will be more or less records, or in the spiritual rain a few years ago, they also saw some clues.
Otherwise, even if the treasure house of Dayu, which is known as the "half of the wall of Central Continent", is opened, it will not attract the attention of Wuwu Temple, and it is even more impossible for the Daomen Jade Road to appear in Yong'an City.
Remnant Jian said: "The Chen family's position in my Dayu Imperial Court is quite special, you only have one chance to make a move, but you didn't succeed. Since then, no matter how the second son of the Chen family behaves in Yong'an City, as long as it does not involve fundamental interests, there will be no chance to kill him. Including Bai Jiu, if he hadn't taken the initiative to beg for death, there would have been no trouble for him in Yong'an City. ”
The white-faced scholar left, and this person who had left the Dayu court since he hunted the head of the Bai family returned to his house, and he didn't know how he would feel when he looked up at the sky and remembered the fate-changing hunt more than ten years ago.
The night was deep, but the stars were getting brighter and brighter.
Gu Qingyang turned to the remnant sword and the sky and said, "The next Tang Tomb will be opened, and some of the secrets of the year will probably be solved there." I want to return to Xueyong Pass to lead the troops to prevent the Northern Yan Kingdom from moving, and the same is true for the west and Xili, the opening of the Tang Tomb here will not be as simple as it seems, and the ideas of the two dynasties are difficult to grasp. ”
Changkong raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do they still want to fight with my Dayu?" ”
Gu Qingyang said: "Senior brother, Zhongzhou is not as peaceful as it seems on the surface. ”
Remnant Jian thought for a moment and said: "A hundred years ago, the Tang Dynasty fell apart, and Xili and Beiyan had already snooped on the Central Plains for a long time, and they took advantage of the chaos to send troops. Today, north of the Snow Pass in the north and beyond the Huaiyang Pass in the west, the two countries still occupy part of our territory. The opening of the Tangling Tomb this time was proposed by the two countries, and its purpose will not be so simple. More importantly, the Empress of Xili, who is more voyeuristic to the Central Plains than the emperor of Beiyan. ”
Changkong said suspiciously: "That empress is the empress who reigned during the time of Emperor Taizu, and she is already very old. ”
Gu Qingyang said: "She has no intention of dominating the industry, so she naturally does not want to die." ”
Changkong was puzzled again: "Is there a way to become an immortal in the Tang Tomb?" Can you live forever? ”
Gu Qingyang was silent for a moment and said, "It's very likely. ”
