"For thousands of years, the immortals descended from the sky, the god was enshrined, the twelve heavenly people, to the north of the north city, the town of the demon division, and the Central Plains for thousands of years...... It is called "The Calendar of Demon Suppression"

The gentle and elegant teacher, holding the ancient scroll in his hand, is eloquent and eloquent, and so are the scholars in the audience.

Outside the private school, the boy walked out with a dirty face, very skilled, every day the teacher of the private school reads, always looks intoxicated, I don't know if it's so, but this can create an opportunity for the teenager to escape, there is a small vegetable garden in the backyard of the private school, connected to the back door of the private school, the wooden door has not been repaired for a long time, tiptoe to push, the sound is not loud, at least for the immersed Confucian, very small.

In the backyard, there are only a few vegetables that are faintly visible, and the rest are almost dead, and I don't know why, and there is not necessarily less watering and fertilization, but it will die, and naturally the private school teachers don't care about it, as if they are saying something...... "Do nothing to rule, this is even the words of the Holy Master." ”

Today is noon, the boy is jumping around, holding a wooden sword in one hand and a sugar gourd in the other, looking really like a wandering sword fairy wandering the world.

There are not many people in the town, only some people who are dying have women to take care of and children who are only ten years old, Tian Yong is close to Lin'an Prefecture, originally Lin'an was divided into three states and eighteen counties, but Gaozu enabled the new system, the world was changed to thirteen states, thirty-two counties, but the east wall was demolished to make up the west wall, the national strength was weak, and it had to be so, those young and middle-aged people were very popular in the Daning Dynasty that was only established for nearly a hundred years, there were more than 100 states and counties in the world, after all, there were groups of warlords, and the ten dynasties fought each other, and I don't know which bastard proposed a "build a wall to reject horses." Since then, the warlord dynasties of the past dynasties have imitated it, so that seven or eight out of ten men in the world are almost dead, not to mention the manpower and material resources spent by the Ning Dynasty to rule the world, the cities and thousands of resentful spirits.

There are thousands of ravines in Tianyun Mountain, this town is just a periphery of Tianyong, sometimes some hunters enter the deep mountains and old forests, hunting fierce beasts, it is very convenient to make money like this, but life and death are up to the sky, and these years are not good, no one has come back from the deep mountains, perhaps it is also the wild beasts in the deep mountains over the years, sometimes you can hear the roar of the monsters in the middle of the night, shattering the mountains and rivers.

Since the opening of the Ning Dynasty, the country was established by martial arts, martial arts are very popular, the daily demon suppression calendar, the three books and the five classics of Confucian gentleman's virtue these, the first is the demon suppression calendar, all private schools, academies, and mountain gates all see the figure of the demon suppression division.

Since the Yongning Kaiyuan, the Yongning Emperor paid attention to Confucianism, divided the Qingzi Prime Minister, the White Deer Cave Academy was established in Taining City, and the Confucian luck was handed down from the emperor.

"Master."

The clear water flows, the sunset is reflected, a canoe slowly swims in, the old man in the coat is full of interest, gently catches the carp, and gently puts it away, everything is pleasant, and the rhyme is harmonious.

"You kid, I know that you are not Ansheng's study, and the teacher of the private school has told me about this a few times."

The young man smiled, looking heartless.

"Master, this day Yongshan is really boring, the book always says that the clouds are driving cranes, and the immortals who are free all their lives, I also envy them."

The old man smiled and said, "Do you think that the statue of a teacher is not like the immortal you said?" ”

The young man laughed and said, "The master is not as good as the old Chen Tou'er." ”

The old man smiled, went ashore and stood with his hands in his hands, and said gently: "The immortals in this world are nothing good, maybe it is not as good as the old man's life in this acre and three points of land." ”

The young man frowned, his expression was obviously unbelieving: "Master deceives people, the sword world mentioned in the book, Tsing Yi and white horses, is much more interesting than reading and growing vegetables every day." ”

"Alas, cloth clothes and food, happy for a lifetime, apprentice, Tianyun Mountain, people outside want to enter but can't get in, but you are in a hurry to get out, let the world know that you can't laugh at your ignorance?"

The young man shook his head vigorously, his eyebrows full of determination, "Master, I still want to go out!" ”

Tianyun Mountain is located in a paradise near the north of Lin'an Prefecture, it is strange to say, the generation of Tiansi Yamen of the Demon Suppression Division is at the foot of Tianyong Mountain, and the descendants moved to the imperial capital, and there are some ruins at the foot of the mountain.

The old man stood with his hands in his hands, strolling in the autumn water, like light smoke on the water, seemingly faint, deliberately without its shape.

"The dignified Emperor of Confucianism, the sixth generation of Confucian saints, is hiding in a barren land, like flies and dogs, so unbearable."

There is no trace of autumn water, and the small courtyard becomes layer by layer of ripples and fragments, if you look at it from a distance, you must be surprised, that side of the world, but it is like the water and moon in the mirror, I don't know if it is a mirror or reality.

"Hey, Your Majesty is too worried, the emperor is not the emperor's master to me like a floating cloud, the ancestral religion gives me virtue, not the court fight, the Ning Dynasty has ruled the country for a hundred years, the demon domain is ready to move, this demon division is not as good as the time of the Nine Dynasties, you and I both know that the chessboard of the world's power should stop."

"If you don't change the court, why change the world, what can you do about Confucianism, didn't Mr. also enter the court to purge the court, so that the empire can Chen soldiers millions, silver and grain warehouses, why can't I, the world's supreme ministers, the supreme end, why can't I, you are the most holy bloodline, to become a Confucian saint, why can't I be the first minister in the world? Why!! ”

Autumn twilight, the town of Tianyun Mountain, is still lively, after all, it is about to enter winter, and it should be eaten at the tun, Tianyong is close to Lin'an Prefecture, Lin'an Prefecture itself was a grain state, and it is a mountain road and waterway, so there are many generations of clans in the town to go to do business, it is better to say that it is to do business than to lay the foundation for entering the imperial capital, there are a total of four major families in the town, all of them are the wealthy families that were prosperous at that time, and the prosperity is declining, and the changes in the main road are really mysterious, and the wealthy families are downcast in such a town.

Ye Qing doesn't like to live in a quiet house, but after a while, he went out to play crazy, the only thing to do in the town is to make iron, looking at it from afar, there are many blacksmith shops, full of iron-striking, I heard that there is still a military shop left by the Southern Tang Dynasty back then, and there is a large area of mines, but after the Southern Tang Dynasty was destroyed, the last battle transferred all the sinners from here, and it will be over here, Tianyong is not suitable for farming, but smelting refined iron, famous far and wide.

Ye Qing loves two things, one is the gentleman in the army, when he was young, his waist hung Qingfeng, and he always had a different feeling, and the other was the sugar gourd of the old man Chen in the east of the town, and the old man Chen also said: "My old Chen, I have never done anything else in my life, but the sugar gourd in my hand is a must, more than 20 years of hard work, do you know?" ”

Old Chen has no children and no daughters, and his only wife was abducted to be a warlord in the war.

Ye Qing is not familiar with the world, whenever he hears about Lao Chen'er, he only hears it as a sad story, and still buys sugar gourds every day.

The old man was dressed in green clothes, and crossed the threshold of the hut, and the old Chen Tou was almost old, still strong, lying on the chair, bored with a pu fan to slowly blow out some fresh breeze.

The old man escaped with three coins of silver and took down a sugar gourd, "This sugar gourd tastes different, Master Chen." ”

Old Chen ignored it, humming a little song in his mouth, looking quite moist.

"Hey, the world is restless, the layout is far-reaching, please protect my apprentice, the third volume of the Confucian Classics, I have finished writing, as long as you agree, I can give it to you now."

Old Chen got up suddenly, squinted his eyes slightly, and said, "Tut-tut, unlike you and not like you, why are you so atmospheric these days." ”

"The journey is long, the way of heaven is magnificent, I don't know if I can come back from this trip, I still have to ask that kid to take care of my house."

Old Chen Tou'er smiled and said: "That's it, your Confucian classics in three volumes Mr. Lianxi have already given it to me, I owe you a favor from Confucianism, but the world owes the old man, you are an old man who has counted three times, the future is unknown, luck is connected, countless red wires are involved, the number of lives is extremely short, and the life is ridiculous, how can the old man take risks?" ”

The old man still said flatly: "Then please ask the seniors to keep the luck of Confucianism for three years, Confucianism is no longer the Confucianism that I look forward to." ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say."

After chatting, the old man's figure faded away.

Old Chen Tou'er was not surprised at this, and said softly: "The depth of the mountain, the mountain temple." ”

The next day, Ye Qing still washed every day, practiced swords, and went out to earn some money and buy sugar gourds.

The most profitable thing in the town is the Lu family's blacksmith shop, the old man Lu is fierce and vicious, full of white hair, but he still does not see the twilight, and the weapons he builds, each piece is the price of dozens of taels of silver, and the clan is also reluctant to swallow his anger and dare not lower the price.

Ye Qing also came here to find an errand, but he didn't fall into the eyes of Old Man Lu, but Liu Jixi, who was making trouble and fighting all day long, fell into the eyes of the old man, and he had never confiscated an apprentice in his life, but he accepted Liu Jixi for the first time.

It's strange to say, although Liu Jixi's family itself is plain but peaceful, but since Liu Jixi was born, his parents have passed away one after another, and because he is close to the lock dragon well, he has been thought by the townspeople to be a deep-water evil Jiao in his previous life, and today he is reincarnated in the Heavenly Dao is incompatible, and the heavenly punishment is lowered, and even this town will suffer from this catastrophe, so as to be squeezed out by the villagers, but Ye Qing has never believed in any ghost Jiao.

Ye Qing and Liu Jixi originally did not have a deep friendship and were not neighbors, the ancestral houses on both sides were quite far away, Liu Jixi was a well-known bad boy in the town, perhaps he was angry at the people in the town who said that he personally killed his father and mother, before his grandfather Xie died, there was another elder in the family, compared to his grandfather after he died of illness, at the age of twelve or thirteen, he was a young man who was tall and strong and not inferior to a young man, and became a troublesome demon king in the neighborhood. Liu Jixi angered a group of descendants of the Li family, and the consequences were blocked in a small alley, and they were beaten severely, the other party was a young man in his prime, and he never counted the severity of his actions, Liu Jixi quickly beat him to vomit blood, and more than ten families living in the alley may be the low-level households begging for food in the small town, how dare they mix with this troubled water. After Ye Qing tried his best to block it, the two parties gave up, which is strange to say, the two of them had the right temper and formed a good friendship.

The two stole Lao Yang'er's sweet potatoes together, went to the mountains together to catch an injured tigress, and were finally let go by Ye Qing, and the two can be said to have a very good relationship.

The universe was originally silent, Ye Qing heard a sarcastic laugh against his ears, stopped, and sure enough, he saw his peers squatting on the wall, grinning, and never whitewashing his contemptuous face.

This person is Ye Qing's old neighbor, I heard that he was the illegitimate son of the master of the Li family who had been rewarded by the emperor with a handful of jade Ruyi, the Li family was not like this back then, and he was also a powerful official of the household servant, the adult was afraid of Qingliu criticism and impeachment, so he finally returned to the capital alone to report on his work, and handed over the child to a successor official who was very personal friends and friends to help guard. Now that the town is in a bad year, I am too busy to take care of myself across the river, and I can still take care of the illegitimate son of my political colleagues, and I threw away some money, so I rushed to the capital to deal with it.

People don't know; The ghost has become an abandoned neighbor boy unconsciously, but his life is still good, and he carries his extraordinary-looking folding fan all day long, and a long sword hangs from his waist, showing his grace. Wandering around the town, all year round, but it's okay, and I've never worried about silver.

The loess courtyard walls of every household in the town are very short, and the neighbors do not have to stand on tiptoe to see the love of the courtyard here

Jing, but every time I talk to him, I just like to squat on the wall.

Although Ye Qing doesn't like Ansheng to read, he is still very attentive to some big truths, sometimes he reads some good books, and he listens to the big truths, which makes his virtue a little higher, whether you are a so-called gentleman or a Confucian, you can now regard yourself as a scholar.

Ye Qing didn't pay much attention to the young man, practiced the sword by himself, and did his own thing.

The young man's name is Li Jianli, his face is beautiful, and his biggest interest on weekdays is to sit on the wall, looking down on those poor people, and his eyebrows are mostly mocking and contemptuous.
