Volume 4: The Year of the Curtain Chapter 71: The Master's Story (I)

The big ship landed in a harbor in the south of the Great River Country, and the black carriage drove onto the land, quietly and silently, at this time, it had been more than seventy days since they left the wasteland, and the Great River Country, which was located in the south, had also learned the final news of the war in the wasteland.

After the black carriage left the wasteland, the Xiling Temple coalition army suddenly launched an attack on the Tang army, but the Tang army seemed to have been prepared, and the Beidaying Iron Cavalry went east out of Helan City, catching the Temple coalition army by surprise.

The flames of war are burning on the wasteland again, but this time the war has nothing to do with the wasteland. The war lasted for dozens of days, and the Tang army, which was obviously inferior in terms of the number of soldiers, finally won a difficult victory under the personal command of the emperor, His Majesty Li Zhongyi.

Because the logistics supply line was too long, and there were still many powerful cultivators in the Xiling Temple, the Tang army calmly did not continue to advance after determining the victory, and withdrew to Helan City and Tuyang City in two ways, among which the iron cavalry of the Northeast Frontier Army should be about to reach the edge of the wasteland at this time.

What is a little puzzling is that after the Tang Emperor His Majesty Li Zhongyi led the Beidaying Iron Cavalry to withdraw to Helan City, he did not immediately return to Chang'an, and the imperial driver stayed in Helan City.

Some people speculate that there is something moving in the Golden Horde Court, which has been silent for too many years, and more people believe that Emperor Tang just wants to take the queen mother and enjoy some good time away from Chang'an City.

This war on the wasteland, although it ended with the victory of the Tang army, but with one country against the world, no matter how strong the Tang Dynasty is, no matter how strong the military is, it has also paid a lot of price, as for the Xiling Temple coalition army, it is even more deadly and wounded, and it seems that at least in a short time, it will not be able to start a war again.

The master who should have shocked the whole world fought the battle because of the harshest blockade of the Xiling Temple. In addition, everyone in the world knelt on the ground that day, not daring to look directly at the bright and prosperous sky, and did not see the real picture, so it was not widely circulated, at least outside the Tang Kingdom.

During the journey of the black carriage through the Great River Country, the master once asked Ning Que if he wanted to go to Mogan Mountain to have a look, and now Wang Shusheng took the disciples of Mochiyuan to the wasteland to fight, and he has not yet returned, so there is only Moshan Mountain on Mogan Mountain at this time. It is a great opportunity to follow the Master's advice.

Ning Que understood what the opportunity was for the master, but he didn't understand why the master was getting more and more old and disrespectful, obviously Sangsang was in the car. I also want to use these words to provoke myself, so I firmly refuse.

The black carriage drove out of the border of the Great River, headed northeast, passed through the hilly area in the southeast of the Southern Jin Dynasty, and came to a beautiful country full of greenery. It is the Xiling Divine Kingdom.

Opposite the Taoist Hall in the town, there is a stall selling roasted sweet potatoes, at this time the midsummer has not gone, even the Xiling Divine Kingdom, which is favored by Haotian, the weather is also very hot, and the business of the roasted sweet potato stall should be very bad. But for some reason, the stall was always open, and people would come to buy it every few hours.

"Eat shabu around the stove on a cold and snowy day. Eating snow food with ice in the hot summer is of course an excellent timely enjoyment, but sometimes, people should not get along with themselves, and eat hot pot in the hot summer. Sweat is like rain, and the picture is a pleasure. Chewing sweet ice in the cold winter is also a pleasure. ”

The master said: "There are many people who want to try this kind of stimulation, or they are self-abusive, so this stall has been open, and it has been open for more than a thousand years, you should try it." ”

Ning Que came back from buying three roasted sweet potatoes, pinched and tore the skin with his fingers, and said, "Is there really a roasted sweet potato stall that can be open for more than a thousand years? ”

The Master said, "More than 1,000 years ago, I used to come down from the mountains and eat roasted sweet potatoes here. ”

This town is in the depths of the Xiling Divine Kingdom, close to Taoshan, from the stone bridge outside the town, looking in the direction of the river, you can see the majestic Xiling Temple in the green mountains.

The mountain mentioned in Master's sentence is the peach mountain?

Ning Que was a little surprised, and forgot to continue tearing the sweet potato skin.

The master took the sweet potato from his hand, peeled it with a fast speed, revealing the yellow, red, soft and steaming potato flesh, handed it to Sang Sang, and said, "I have never seen Haotian before, nor have I dealt with it directly, so I can only guess, but now it seems that the speculation is getting closer and closer to the truth. That's why I feel that I am qualified to tell you the story of Haotian, and now that its story has been told, I want to tell some stories about me next, I don't know if the two of you are interested in listening to it. ”

Of course, Ning Que and Sang Sang were interested.

The world only knows that the Tang Dynasty has a academy, the academy has a master, and the master is the highest, but few people know the story of the master, Master Qishan guessed that the master had lived for nearly two hundred years, and Ning Que now knows that the master has lived for more than a thousand years, and what a wonderful story should there be in his life for more than a thousand years?

The black carriage drove out of the town, drove across the stone bridge, and continued in the direction of the river, and the peach mountain, where the Xiling Temple was located, appeared and disappeared from sight as the road curved.

After eating the roasted sweet potatoes, the master took the wet towel handed over by Sang Sang, wiped off the potato crumbs on the corners of his lips and beard, wiped his slightly sticky fingers clean, pointed to a place in the east outside the window and said: "Many years ago, in the east of the Xiling Divine Kingdom, there was a country called Lu Kingdom. ”

Ning Que said, "Why haven't I heard of it?"

The Master said, "It was a country more than a thousand years ago, and it is long gone now. ”

Ning Que said: "It seems to be a small country, and it is not very famous. ”

The master said unhappily: "That's because you don't know how to learn, and you haven't read a single historical book, you have to ask those senior brothers and sisters in the back mountain, who doesn't know the Lu country back then?"

Ning Que found that he had always been the best at whiskers and horses, and today he made two mistakes in a row.

First of all, he forgot to wipe the food crumbs on his beard for the teacher, and then he didn't understand, since the teacher mentioned Lu Guo at this time, he must have a lot to do with Lu Guo, and he said casually, like a slap in the face of the teacher. So he hastened to apologize.

The master ignored him anymore, looked at his homeland, which no longer existed, and said, "I was born in the country of Lu......

Ning Que thought to himself, sure enough, the feelings of the homeland are inviolable.

The Master said, "I am a very ordinary person......

Ning Que thought to himself, your words are equivalent to a slap in the face to everyone in the world.

The master didn't know that this student kept making up lines in his heart, and continued: "I was originally an ordinary person, so I was like an ordinary person, I studied since I was a child, understood reason, and then took exams, and worked very hard to be an official, but just after trying a case, I offended the powerful and was forced to resign. ”

Ning Que asked curiously, "What kind of case?"

The master said a few words briefly, and looking at his expression, he was obviously still indignant about what happened back then.

"Just cut off that person's head, do you have any evidence?" Ning Que asked cautiously.

The Master said, "There is no evidence, but everyone knows that he is a wicked man." ”

Ning Que said mockingly: "If you judge the case without evidence, you don't know Chapter 796 of Tang Law." (Your support on this site is my biggest motivation.) )
