CHAPTER XLIV
Chapter X
Somewhere in Wonderland.
Su Yi is now a bit of a thief.
Before a stick of incense, he followed the guidance of "Moon Shortage" to the lake somewhere in the fairyland, stretched his neck and saw a woman in the lake vaguely at a glance.
Su Yi squinted, quickly bent down, and secretly moved forward to the back of a huge stone, and then quietly stretched out his head to look at the figure in the lake after successfully closing the distance.
Su also swore that he had never seen such a good-looking woman.
Originally, according to his own experience, Su Yi felt that his mother Xu Yan was the best-looking woman he had seen in more than ten years, but just after seeing the face of the woman in the lake, Su Yi only felt that such a good-looking woman should not exist in this world, she should live high in the sky, peerless and independent.
Su Yi just hid behind the stone and stared at a stick of incense.
"Have you seen enough?" A gentle voice came.
Su Yi was stunned, blinked his sour eyes, and found that he didn't know when the woman had put on a plain gauze dress, lazily leaned against a big tree by the lake, stretched out her feet and gently stroked the clear lake water.
Su Yi stretched out his head to look left and right, a little embarrassed, stood up slowly, and then looked up at the sky, pretending not to know anything. Even if you peek and be discovered, you can't lose your grace.
"What's your name?" The woman tied her hair and looked at the young man who was pretending to be calm not far away, with a smile on her face.
Su Yi continued to look up at the sky and hugged his fists: "In Xia Su Yi, from Chang'an." ”
"Chang'an." The woman's eyes were a little dazed, but she quickly regained her composure, looked at Su Yi, and nodded: "Nineteen years old, 'shallow realm', barely passable." ”
The young sword immortal's eyes widened: "Reluctantly? Tolerably? Sister, I'm only nineteen years old and I'm 'shallow', can you give some face, two hours ago, I slashed a Confucian academy master with a sword outside the fairy world. ”
"Isn't that Confucianism angry with you?" The woman raised the corners of her mouth: "Aren't you afraid that those Confucian saints will trouble you?" ”
Su Yi raised his head: "What is a Confucian sage, even if Confucian Zun comes in person, I dare to give him a few swords." ”
In front of a good-looking woman, the momentum cannot be lost.
But soon Su Yi saw the playful smile on the woman's face, and couldn't help but feel a little weak.
"What am I afraid of, I stabbed the sky and my father was on top of it, my father was the first sword immortal in the world, and the sword path was 'transformed into a realm'!" Su Yi quickly found a place again, anyway, he still has a father who is the best in the world.
The woman snorted and laughed: "You are young, although your swordsmanship is a lot worse, but you can compete with my brother in terms of shamelessness." ”
Su Yi blinked his eyes and said, "Then you are the legendary goddess that the Taoist priest said?" ”
"That should be me." Goddess Bai Yue nodded.
Su Yi blinked again, then pointed to the long sword on his waist, and then pointed to the goddess, not knowing what to say for a while.
"You want to ask why this 'Moon Gap' is in your hands?" The goddess seemed to have seen through Su Yi's thoughts.
Su Yi nodded: "And why is it that only me and my father will practice the 'Supreme Sword Dao'." And you seem to ...... Still alive? There is also the Protoss who ruled the world at the beginning, in addition to the God of War and you, there should be other gods, why was it so simple to be overthrown by the Terrans? ”
"You have so many questions." Bai Yue untied her tied hair again: "But I can answer you one by one." ”
Su Yifu trotted to the goddess's side, sat on the grass, and was ready to listen to the answer.
"First question, didn't your father tell you about the roots of your Su family?"
Su Yi was stunned for a moment and shook his head: "What kind of big family are we?" ”
Bai Yue nodded and said, "Speaking of seniority, I am the ancestor of your Su family, but your kid was still peeking at the ancestor taking a bath just now." ”
Su Yilao's face flushed, a little embarrassed.
"The Su family is one of my brother's descendants, as a descendant, you are naturally born to comprehend the 'Supreme Sword Dao' from memory, how can the cultivation of the gods be comparable to mortals? Moreover, the talent of the descendants of the Protoss is also unique, it is not surprising that your father can become the strongest in the world, with your talent, it is not difficult to practice for another forty or fifty years. ”
"So, I am God?" Su was also a little surprised, completely ignoring the problem of forty or fifty years.
“...... Probably not, after tens of thousands of years of intermarriage with the human race, you can be regarded as having a part of the blood of the Protoss at most. Bai Yue said unceremoniously.
“...... Then I can be regarded as having a relationship with God. Su also resisted powerlessly.
Bai Yue shrugged, and continued: "The second question, I died 10,000 years ago, what you see now is my divine soul, which is a part of the ancient secret method forcibly left by Peach Blossom, in this lake, the water you see is Peach Blossom's 10,000-year-old aura, and he forcibly used auras to nourish my divine soul, so I can sit here and talk to you." But if I leave this fairyland, I will be devastated. ”
"Isn't that the equivalent of a cage in disguise?" Su Yi muttered.
Bai Yue nodded and said, "That's true, but I'm about to be relieved." ”
"Relief?" Su also wondered.
"Nothing, move on to your third question." Bai Yue looked away: "You're right, the Protoss does not only have me and my brother, but also many gods. ”
"But I can't answer that question."
"Why?"
A trace of doubt flashed in Bai Yue's eyes: "Because I don't know either." ”
"Theoretically, the Terrans used me to threaten my brother and force him to cut himself, but the rest of the gods should not allow the Terrans to overthrow their rule."
"But it's strange that after the fall of my brother, the Terrans easily attacked the sky, and none of the gods came out to resist, and all the gods disappeared that day."
"Gone?" Su Yi was stunned: "There is no reaction to being overthrown by the species of his own creation? ”
Bai Yue shook his head: "This question has also bothered me for a long time, and the rest of the gods have not appeared in the next ten thousand years since they disappeared on that day. ”
Su was also a little confused, not knowing what to expect.
"Then they won't, and they'll fall, right?" Su also asked.
"The Terrans don't have the ability to kill the gods directly, and if it weren't for the secret methods of the gods, they wouldn't be able to kill me. As for my brother, they can only seal his head and body in the ice sea of the extreme south and the extreme north respectively, and the people of the three sects send people to guard the sealing array every hundred years to ensure that my brother will never be resurrected. Bai Yue's voice was very flat.
"Then you don't hate the Terrans?" Su also looked at Bai Yue.
The goddess held her chin in her hand and said softly: "Hate or not, tens of thousands of years have passed, and there is no longer any meaning." ”
"And with the state of me and Peach Blossom, even if I hate, I can't do anything, don't look at him controlling everything in the fairyland, in fact, for my soul for ten thousand years, I am afraid that there is not much of his aura left."
Su Yi frowned, and began to have some thoughts in his heart.
"I advise you to be honest now, the three sects are not as simple as they seem on the surface, they dared to kill gods ten thousand years ago, and it will be even more difficult to deal with now after ten thousand years."
"Although it seems that the demons rule the world, I always feel that there is something hidden behind this, and even the peach blossoms can't see through it."
"Based on what I know about those people in the Three Sects, they are not willing to be subservient. But even if there is anything, it has nothing to do with me, young man, you can only wait for yourself to slowly explore. ”
"Me?" Su Yi looked puzzled.
Bai Yue raised her eyebrows: "Otherwise, you still want to stay out of the matter?" ”
"I'll tell you a good news, Peach Blossom has calculated a hexagram for you, and if you go down the mountain this time, you will definitely change the existing pattern in the world and unlock the big secret hidden behind the three sects. As for how big the impact will be, it depends on how strong you will be in the future. ”
"Me?" Su Yi's eyes widened.
"Yes, you."
Su Yi opened his mouth, a little embarrassed: "To be honest, although I have always acted flamboyant and full of confidence, I still feel that I am quite ordinary, and this kind of thing to change the pattern of the world does not sound like something that a person like me can do......"
"Then how high do you think you can achieve in the future?"
Su Yi thought for a while and replied seriously: "I'm quite easily satisfied, just be the number one sword immortal in the world like my father." ”
"Actually, I lied to you at first." The goddess looked at the young sword immortal with a smile: "To be honest, your kendo talent is extremely high, even comparable to my brother, the god of war in the god realm, he has cultivated to the 'shallow realm' in nineteen years, and this kind of talent is the first time I have seen it in the vein of the god of war." ”
The goddess paused, put away her smile, and said, "So you will quickly reach the highest mirror of the 'Supreme Sword Dao' and become the second god of war." ”
"But the human race will not allow such a thing as a second god of war, so after you go out of the fairy realm, the three sects and the demon clan will send people to keep an eye on you, and they will try their best to kill you before you reach the 'heavenly realm'."
"The contradiction between the Protoss and the Human Race has been irreconcilable since 10,000 years ago, and it doesn't matter if you want to change the existing pattern or not."
"I'm under so much pressure?!" Su Yi was surprised.
"This is your fate as a descendant of the Protoss." Bai Yue leaned against the pink peach tree behind her, her voice a little tired.
Su Yi frowned and did not speak.
"Actually, you don't have to have too much pressure, it's man-made, arithmetic just predicts the maximum probability that something will happen, maybe things will end up being very different."
"I figured you'd come, so I had something ready for you. It's a gift for future generations. The goddess stood up, raised her chin and nodded at the ice-blue lake in front of her: "Go in." ”
"Me?" Su Yi was stunned: "Isn't this for you to repair your soul?" ”
"It's not just that."
Bai Yue raised his sleeves, and Su Yi only felt that there was a flower in front of him, and he was thrown into the lake.
"Do you know why your father can't reach the 'Heavenly Realm'?"
Su Yi shook his head.
Bai Yue stood with his hands in his hands: "Because your bloodlines are incomplete." ”
"Cultivation is a matter of going against the heavens, and what level of cultivation you can reach depends on how much pressure you can resist the Heavenly Dao." As the supreme sword dao, it is an existence that cannot be tolerated by the Heavenly Dao, and only the complete bloodline of the Protoss can withstand the pressure exerted by the Heavenly Dao and reach the 'Heavenly Realm' that surpasses the shackles of the Heavenly Dao. ”
"I will use the ancient secret technique to make up for the bloodline of the Protoss in your body."
Bai Yue stretched out her right hand, spread out her palm, and gently swiped the fingers of her left hand over the palm, and the golden blood slowly flowed from the wound into the lake.
Bai Yue's face was serious, and she looked down at Su Yi in the lake condescendingly, and her voice was cold: "Su Yi, descendant of the God of War, I want you to be the last god in the world." ”
In the wooden house in the distance, a Taoist priest in a pink robe lay on a chaise longue at the door, looked at the sky, and said softly, "It's finally almost over." ”
CHAPTER IX
"What's this called?"
The young Taoist priest was lying on a stone, with his legs crossed, a straw in his mouth, and a depressed expression. There was a monk sitting next to him with folded hands, and from time to time he secretly looked at the girl not far away.
"Monk, do you count this as robbing a brother and woman?" Duan Chuyi kicked the monk.
Xuyun looked serious: "It can't be counted, the poor monk just saved Miss Yin in a time of crisis, which can be regarded as the morality of the rivers and lakes." ”
"You are moral, how to deal with this person? Everyone is separated, and her senior brother's brain is not very good, in case she thinks that the person was abducted by the two of us, don't say a word to give us a sword, do you resist or I resist? Duan Chuyi glared.
"I still remember that some people said yesterday that Brother Zhong is really a genius in the world, Wen Taowu is strategic, and it is really the greatest honor in my life to join forces with Brother Zhong." Xuyun's face remained unchanged.
"Do you understand the scene?" Duan Chuyi turned over and climbed up: "You monk knows a fart!" Look at the way he respects and protects the calf, I don't praise him, what should he do if he makes me stumble? ”
The monk looked at the sky and said nothing.
Duan Chuyi waved his hand: "Forget it, Lao Tzu go and ask this girl what she thinks, let's throw this hot potato out first, and then go to my Su brother, I don't know if I left our Su brother to live well, whether anyone bullied him." In the end, he snorted his nose decently, with a sad face.
Yin Wanwan's mood is very delicate now, and she fainted from the roar of the dragon before, and when she woke up, she saw the Taoist priest and the monk muttering something next to the stone not far away.
Although they are both disciples of the three sects, it is not the first time they have met, but now seeing the two people dancing and chatting, especially the Taoist priest surnamed Duan has an unpredictable expression on his face, he will be happy and sad for a while, and he will be like a neurotic, Yin Wanwan is a little worried, could it be that she knows people and faces but does not know her heart?
"What, Miss Yin, do you have any plans now?" Duan Chuyi squeezed out a smile that he thought was very approachable.
"Can you help me find my senior brother first?" Yin Wanwan quietly put her hand on the long sword at her waist.
Duan Chuyi saw the girl's small movements, the corners of his eyes jumped, and he took a few steps back and said: "We don't know how big this fairyland is, the monk and I are going to find my brother Su first, Miss Yin might as well follow us first, if you meet Brother Zhong on the way, it will naturally be better, if you can't meet her, we will also send Miss Yin out of the fairyland safe and sound." ”
The ghost is willing to see your senior brother. Duan Chuyi muttered in his heart.
Yin Wanwan hesitated, bit her lip and didn't speak.
"Someone's coming." Xuyun, who had been closing his eyes and recuperating his mind, suddenly said, "Hide first." ”
Duan Chuyi was stunned for a moment, looked at the grass and stones around him that were not as tall as his calf, and asked, "Where is it hidden?" Is it okay to drill in the grass? ”
Yin Wanwan was even more sure that the Taoist priest in front of her was not quite normal.
Xuyun came to the two of them, untied the robe on their bodies, and pinched out a magic trick in his right hand, and the robe floated above the heads of the three people, emitting a golden light, enveloping the three of them in it.
"Is this going to work?" Duan Chuyi looked up at the radiant robe in the air: "It looks like we are more conspicuous, monk." ”
"This should be the Buddha's 'Brahma cloud robe', where the robe is covered, all objects can be hidden, unless it is a figure like the Buddha and my master can detect it." Yin Wanwan questioned: "Speaking of which, how did you become a Dao Ancestor junior disciple?" I haven't found your shining light so far. ”
"What does the little girl's family know? Poor Dao is intelligent and bent on seeking the Tao, but he doesn't bother to pay attention to these side doors. Duan Chuyi's face was unfathomable, his face was not red and his heart was not beating.
Yin Wanwan was speechless.
"Sun Yu of the Imperial Dao Sect." Xuyun narrowed his eyes and saw the person clearly: "The other one doesn't know who it is." ”
"Speaking of which, the Imperial Dao Sect is also my Taoist sect, with the same root and origin, and Sun Yu has to call me Uncle Shi, why don't we all be honest with each other and help each other?" Duan Chuyi stretched his neck to take a look and proposed.
Xuyun shook his head: "Your junior nephew doesn't look right, let's take a look first." Before I came, Master also reminded me to be careful of this nephew of yours. ”
"The monks are suspicious." Duan Chuyi muttered, but he still sat on the ground with a freshly pulled grass in his mouth.
Sun Yu walked near the three of them, looked left and right, and after making sure that there was no one else, he waved his hand to signal Liu Yi behind him to stay away.
Liu Yi didn't say a word, turned around and walked a mile before stopping. Still with his back to Sun Yu.
Sun Yu nodded with satisfaction, pulled out the long sword at his waist, and pinched the sword body with his left hand, and the blood suddenly spread all over the sword body, dripping down the tip of the sword to the ground.
Sun Yu inserted the long sword into the ground, pinched the trick with both hands, and said something in his mouth, the sword body emitted a white light, flickering constantly, the faster the flickering, the faster Sun Yu pinched the trick with both hands.
"Monk, what is he doing, casting spells on the air?" Duan Chuyi pushed the void cloud.
Xuyun shook his head.
"The method of summoning spirits, a forbidden technique at the cost of one's own lifespan and divine soul, he is summoning the divine soul of the ancestors." Yin Wanwan whispered.
Duan Chuyi was stunned: "Why do you know so much?" ”
Yin Wanwan was a little embarrassed and said, "Master said that my body is not suitable for cultivation, so I know more about 'art'. ”
Duan Chuyi exclaimed: "It turns out that Miss Yin eats with her brain, so it's too easy to take you." ”
Yin Wanwan didn't know how to answer this neurosis, so she simply didn't talk much.
On the other side, Sun Yu's pinching speed also slowed down, and the white light emitted by the sword body no longer flickered, but the three of them could feel some subtle changes in the aura fluctuations around them, and all the aura gathered towards the quaint long sword.
The three of them carefully controlled the slow flow of aura in their bodies, and it was not a good thing to be discovered at this time.
"It's out." Yin Wanwan whispered.
"This wine...... What is it used for? The man reached out and took the wine jug, opened the lid directly and sniffed it fiercely, and then looked incredulous: "This is ...... Soy sauce? ”
Mrs. Liu sat down and said solemnly: "Yes, this is the treasure of my restaurant." This is a method I learned in an ancient book about sake brewing that has been handed down from ancient times. This wine is extremely difficult to make, and there are very few people in the world who can drink this kind of fine wine. Want another drink? ”
The man in white hurriedly pushed the wine jug away, waved his hand again and again, and said, "It's because my fate with this wine has not arrived, and it's a waste to give me someone like me who doesn't know how to drink wine." ”
Mrs. Liu couldn't hold it back any longer, and laughed out loud regardless of her demeanor.
"Aunt Liu, if you smile too much, there will be more and more wrinkles at the corners of your eyes." The man gritted his teeth.
Mrs. Liu waved her hand and said: "I'm a half-old, what impact can there be if there are many wrinkles, I have long been a person who has entered half of the loess, how can I care about these changes in appearance." ”
The man in white pretended to be surprised and said: "Oh, Aunt Liu, don't you say it, just by looking at your appearance, it is no different from those girls in their early twenties in the city, and those who don't know think you are my sister." ”
The corners of Mrs. Liu's mouth curled, and she snorted coldly: "Oily and smooth, I'll just say that no one among these children surnamed Ji inherited his talking mouth, it turns out that they are all here." Over the years, how have you cultivated and cultivated to please girls? ”
"Aunt Liu, what are these words, my words are sincere and sincere! There is no false intent! "The man is serious, and his eyes do not squint.
Mrs. Liu pursed her lips, but she was still a little happy in her heart.
"Nianyi's girl is in trouble, you as a brother can't sit idly by." Mrs. Liu glanced at the girl who was alone at this time outside the restaurant but still pretended to be calm, and a trace of worry appeared on her face.
"When will I be my brother?" The man was stunned.
Mrs. Liu gave him a blank look, "The righteous daughter that the queen mother recognized in public above the court, and your brother who is the emperor recognized this righteous sister, how can the dignified Seventh Prince be different from them?" Want to get rid of the relationship? ”
Tianqi's seventh prince, the younger brother of the current emperor, Ji Qingyuan.
"Back then, the father and the queen mother gave birth to three sons in a row, and the queen mother was most worried that she failed to give birth to a daughter. Later, due to the physical reasons of the queen mother, even if she had the heart, she was powerless.
I thought that after so many years, the queen mother had let go of her obsession with giving birth to a daughter, but I never thought that she would come back this time, and suddenly there would be an extra sister. Ji Qingyuan sighed and said: "This girl looks like a brutal and delicate lord, not to mention that she is also at fault this time, I can't take action against those Taoist priests regardless of the reason, isn't it the same as the queen mother and the imperial brother." ”
Ji Qingyuan thought about it for a while, and used a word that he thought was appropriate: "Aiding is abuse." ”
Mrs. Liu sighed and said, "Nian Yi has been spoiled by her father and us elders all these years, but this child is actually not bad in nature.
General Chu was in charge of 500,000 border troops outside the Guanguan all year round, and he was able to return home very few times a year. And Mrs. Chu also died not long after giving birth to Nianyi.
This child has been going wild alone since he was a child, for fear that others would bully him, so he became the one who bullied others first. ”
As soon as the words fell, above the long sword, the surrounding aura condensed into the figure of a middle-aged man in a long robe, the man closed his eyes and stretched his waist.
Sun Yu stopped pinching, his face was excited, and he knelt down on his knees and said, "Sun Yu, the fifth-generation disciple of the Imperial Dao Sect, pays a visit to the patriarch. ”
The man lazily opened his eyes and looked around for a moment before turning to the junior in front of him, holding his chin and saying, "You did a good job, go and find the Peach Blossom Dao person next, only he can reborn this seat." ”
Sun Yu frowned and said, "But would the Peach Blossom Dao people be willing to use that resurrection technique for the ancestor?" ”
"Then it's up to him." The man raised the corners of his mouth: "There is a soul of that person hidden in this peach blossom fairyland, if this seat accidentally destroys something in the fairyland affects that person's soul, I don't know how this Taoist priest will react." ”
"Find the Peach Blossom Road people, don't worry about the rest. If anyone stops them, kill them. The man's voice was flat.
"Yes, Patriarch." Sun Yu bowed his head and said. But soon he remembered something and looked at the man: "But Patriarch, among the people who entered the fairy realm this time, in addition to the disciples of the Three Sects, there is also a young man surnamed Su, which is a little strange." ”
"Strange?" The man raised his eyes and said, "What's a strange method?" ”
"That young man slashed a Confucian academy master with a single sword, but according to his own words, he had only practiced for nineteen years. The disciple is stupid, he has never seen a person who cultivates so against the sky, if he is given a hundred years, wouldn't he be able to compare with the Taoist Ancestor Confucianism? ”
The man sat up straight with a serious expression: "The surname is Su?" What is it called? What are the other characteristics? ”
It was rare for Sun Yu to see the ancestor so serious, and hurriedly replied: "That young man's name is Su Yi, as for the characteristics, there is nothing special about it, I only know that he is very slow to draw a sword, but when he takes out a sword, everyone around him will be affected by him, and his actions become extremely slow." Sun Yu paused for a moment and said in a low voice: "Even when he drew his sword, the disciple didn't even have the courage to make a move. ”
The man's face was a little gloomy, as if he was thinking about something, Sun Yu knelt on the side with his head down, not daring to speak.
After a stick of incense, the man said: "In this action, try to avoid that young man and don't have a conflict with him, this seat can probably guess his identity." ”
"Yes, Patriarch."
The man waved his hand: "This seat is tired, you can step down." ”
"The disciple obeys." Sun Yu kowtowed, knelt on the ground and pinched a trick, the man's figure gradually dissipated, Sun Yu let out a sigh, pulled out the long sword on the ground, put it into the scabbard, glanced around again, and beckoned to Liu Yi in the distance.
As if he could sense it, Liu Yi turned around and walked to Sun Yu's side, staring at Sun Yu.
Sun Yu didn't like to look at Liu Yi's empty eyes, so he turned around and walked forward. Liu Yi slowly followed behind.
"Wait, Rift will soon be dead." Sun Yu said lightly: "But since the disciples of the Three Sects are also here, if something happens in this fairyland, no one should know that I did it." ”
Thinking of this, Sun Yu admired his thoughts a little, with the help of the power of the patriarch, letting the disciples of the three sects die here, it would definitely hurt the vitality of the three sects, and it would naturally be a good thing for the plan of the Imperial Dao Sect to return to the first-class sect.
Sun Yu's steps became relaxed and began to look for his prey.
"What secret do I know? Will I be silenced? Duan Chuyi pretended to be frightened.
"Don't worry." Xuyun put the robe on his body again: "Listening to his tone, I didn't want you to live in the first place, and it makes no difference whether you know it or not." ”
Duan Chuyi raised his head and said: "I'm a senior disciple of the Dao Ancestor, and the eight doors are on the camera, so he can kill him if he says to kill?" ”
"The one just now, it seems to be the ancestor of the founding sect of the Imperial Dao Sect, Daoist Lu Yu, when he was alive, he was the peak sword immortal of the Nine Sects on the photo, and it seems that his strength is far beyond the current Three Sect Venerables, if he attaches his divine soul to Sun Yu, although he can't reach the peak, he should be able to temporarily break through the Nine Gates." Yin Wanwan struck.
Duan Chuyi raised his eyebrows, and just about to refute, the monk interjected between the two: "If Miss Yin says so, then the only people who can stop Sun Yu in the fairyland now are Su Yishi and Peach Blossom Dao people." ”
Xuyun looked at Yin Wanwan and asked, "Miss Yin, why don't you go with us to find Su Yishi and Peach Blossom Dao first, otherwise even if we find your senior brother now, we will not be able to protect ourselves." ”
Yin Wanwan hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
Duan Chuyi hurriedly borrowed the slope to get off the donkey and said: "Seeing that you understand things so well, the poor road won't care about you, let's go now!" ”
Yin Wanwan rolled her eyes and said to Xuyun: "I'll lead the way, I can feel the richness of the aura, and the place where the richest place should be where the Peach Blossom Dao people are." ”
Xuyun nodded, stretched out his hand to signal Yin Wanwan to go first, and then pulled Duan Chuyi, who was looking east and west, and followed behind the girl.
Chang'an City is closest to the north of the palace, there is a three-storey restaurant, this restaurant occupies the best position in the whole Chang'an City, but the decoration is not as graceful and luxurious as other inns in the city, but only uses ordinary wood to build up, the whole restaurant is all black and gray, there is no superfluous decoration and embellishment, and even the name is just a simple "Jide" word.
This restaurant, called "Jide", is not only simple in decoration, but also does not have the rouge fandel and delicacies that the princes and ministers loved. But it is the only restaurant that can be opened on the edge of the imperial city. It is said that the identity of the owner of this restaurant is extremely not simple.
There are many speculations about the identity of the owner of the restaurant, and one of the most widely circulated is that the proprietress of this restaurant had an encounter with the emperor in the early years. But due to some unknown reasons, the woman was never allowed to enter the palace. The emperor has always been obsessed with it, so he arranged it at the foot of the imperial city and opened this restaurant for him to accompany him.
According to the old man in the city, the original name of this restaurant was "First Sight". After the death of the first emperor, it was renamed "Jide". Remembering virtue and remembering virtue, the name of the former emperor is called Jide.
Although there are rumors about the palace and the former emperor, no one has come out to clarify. It seems that in order to confirm this statement, the ministers of the palace and members of the royal family often hold some large banquets here. There were only a few jars of unknown soju and a few dishes of home-cooked side dishes, and if they wanted to have a meal, these ministers had to send someone to line up in advance to have a seat.
The daily stream of princes and ministers filled all the small restaurant seats, so although the price was very close to the people, ordinary people rarely had the opportunity to enter it, and could only wait and see. After all, there are not many opportunities to eat the same meals as these officials and gentlemen on weekdays.
However, what is different from weekdays is that today's "Jide" restaurant, the three floors inside and the three floors outside are surrounded by the people in the city, and even some of them are short and can't squeeze in, taking advantage of people's inattention to sneak up on the roof of the restaurant, stretching their necks to look at the crowd. If you stand on a high place and look down, the crowd is dense, I am afraid that more than half of the people in the whole city have come.
In the center of the crowd of onlookers, a girl wearing a long green dress held a horsewhip in her left hand and a long sword in her right hand.
It was one of the Dao aunts who confronted the girl, and the grim expression on the girl's face was different, this Dao Gu was holding her hands behind at the moment, looking at the girl with a bit of banter on her face, although there was little difference in the height of the two, but in the eyes of the people around her, this Dao Gu's expression was quite condescending.
The eldest lady of the General's Mansion provoked the Taoist priest of Longhu Mountain, and this kind of top priority was spread all over the city without a stick of incense. Which family has not been bullied by this lawless Miss Chu on weekdays? There is not even a place to seek redress in the entire city of Chang'an. Now that Miss Chu has encountered a hard stubble, she naturally wants to join in the fun. Even if it's not to anger yourself and others, just a glance from a distance will be a little comforting.
Seeing that there were more and more people watching around, the middle-aged Taoist priest standing in the back frowned, walked behind the young Taoist aunt, and said in a low voice: "Senior Sister Lin, it's almost okay to mean it, after all, this Miss Chu is still the general's daughter, the goddaughter of the Queen Mother, if you make a move on her, the Tianqi royal family is afraid that there will be a lot of opinions." ”
The young Dao Gu snorted coldly and said: "When did Senior Brother Xu start to care about the opinions of these ordinary people, and I was not aggressive, this little girl's horse almost hit me, I just asked her to bow her head and apologize, and the matter is over, and now she not only does not admit her mistake, but also points her sword at me, but I am not deliberately picking quarrels and provoking trouble." ”
The middle-aged Taoist priest was a little helpless, he knew the temper of his junior sister, although he was over half a hundred years old, he was still a girl's heart, and he couldn't stop his temperament, and even the master had nothing to do with her.
The brothers who go up and down the mountain on weekdays don't dare to offend her easily because of their status and the love of the master for her, and if they accidentally provoke her, they immediately bow their heads and admit their mistakes, so as not to be settled by her after the autumn.
Thinking of this, the middle-aged Taoist priest looked up at the girl holding a long sword on the other side, who was as cold as frost, and sighed in his heart, the two pampered eldest ladies got together, I am afraid that they will not be able to be good.
Chu Nianyi looked at the Dao Gu who was staring at him on the other side, and his heart became nameless, "In my Tianqi, no one dares to block the way of this county lord, what are you, and you deserve me to apologize to you?" ”
Dao Gu said with a slight sneer: "Why, little girl, do you think that you can be lawless in this world if you are a county lord of a mortal dynasty?" In this vast world, there are many strong people who can move mountains and reclaim the sea with a single move, what is your mortal dynasty? If you don't give your emperor some face, this monarch can take your life with a sword. ”
As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden agitation in the surrounding crowd, and everyone looked at the two opposing sides and began to communicate in a whisper.
"This Miss Chu is flying and domineering on weekdays, this time she finally ran into hard stubble, if she is forced to apologize today, it will be a great pleasure."
"I don't know if the kung fu in the hands of these Taoist priests of Longhu Mountain is as hard as their mouths, if they can make this Chu Nianyi bow his head and admit his mistakes, it's okay, I'm afraid that if she really makes a move, she is not the opponent of this girl, but it will further fuel her arrogance."
"The two of you are not good, no matter what, this Miss Chu is also my Tianqi's county lord, and letting outsiders bully her will damage the face of my dynasty after all. I still hope that Miss Chu can teach these foreign Taoist priests a lesson. ”
"I didn't expect you to have such a sense of family and country, brother......"
Listening to the discussion of the surrounding crowd, the middle-aged Taoist frowned: "Senior Sister Lin, I suggest that it is better to stop, after all, in this battle of Taoist orthodoxy, we in Longhu Mountain still have to win the people's positive comments on us." ”
The Dao aunt surnamed Lin didn't seem to hear it, and didn't say a word. Seeing this, the middle-aged Taoist shook his head and retreated to the back to stop talking.
"Childe, these Taoist priests are a little too arrogant in their words, and they don't take Tianqi in their eyes at all."
It is said that this floor is specially built to receive members of the royal family, and many people in the city have witnessed that His Majesty the Emperor has come to the third floor many times, sometimes with a few princes of the dynasty, and sometimes with a few favored concubines in the palace.
It's just that over the years, almost all the royal relatives have come once, only the queen mother who lives in the palace has visited every inch of Tianqi's land after the first emperor went to the fairy, but she has never been to this "Jide" restaurant.
On the third floor by this time, all furnishings have been removed, leaving only a table and two chairs at the railing by the window.
The one who spoke was a middle-aged man in a gray robe, with an ordinary appearance, a Chinese face with sharp edges and corners, a straight waist and a fierce momentum when he stood up, showing the man's military identity.
The man stood at the railing, looking down at the two opposing sides below, his face a little ugly.
On the other side of the table, there was a young man dressed in white, the man's face was extremely delicate, although he was just eating a plate of simple peanuts, but his gestures still had the aura of a nobleman.
"The Heavenly Master's Mansion of Longhu Mountain has always been far away from the world, and he thinks of himself as a 'god' who sits high in the clouds and overlooks all living beings. Moreover, what they cultivate is the ruthless Tao, above the avenue, and the road does not follow the heart. Thinking of coming down the mountain this time, in their eyes, it only gave the world a chance to get in touch with them at close range, rather than coming to Chang'an City as a guest. The young man picked up a peanut and said leisurely: "Besides, this matter is also the fault of this Miss Chu. ”
"The subordinates also know that the county lord has been spoiled by the general and the queen mother over the years, and she is the temperament of some eldest ladies. But this matter is still about the face of the royal family......" the middle-aged man carefully considered.
The young man lazily raised his head, glanced out the window, and finally stopped his gaze on the young Taoist priest standing on the pillar of the restaurant at the end of the group in Longhu Mountain.
The young Taoist priest never said a word, just stood silently at the end, watching coldly. Everyone didn't think about it, they just thought that he was a junior on the mountain, and he followed the master down the mountain to see the world.
The young man downstairs seemed to notice the man's gaze at him, raised his head slightly, and glanced at the man, a trace of surprise flashed in his originally calm eyes, but he quickly lowered his head and disappeared.
"I see." The man in white squinted, and the corners of his mouth curled into a good-looking arc: "Our county lord doesn't lose the battle, and he hasn't suffered a loss, not to mention that the 'shadow guard' will not sit idly by at the critical moment." ”
"But......" The middle-aged man was just about to bite the bullet and say another sentence, when he suddenly heard a soft female voice laughing and groaning: "General Li, Ji Gongzi must know the severity, you should relax and read Yiding."
The man looked back and saw a woman in a light blue dress walking towards the two of them with a jug of wine in her hand and a slight smile on her face.
Although the woman looks like a young woman, she can still see some traces of time in the corners of her eyes and sideburns.
"The last general, Li Yi, see Mrs. Liu." The man quickly took two steps back from the railing and knelt down to salute.
For the hostess of the restaurant, Li Yi still knows his true identity, and the etiquette is naturally indispensable, and he is even more respectful than the concubines in the palace.
Mrs. Liu waved her hand and put the wine jug on the table: "How can peanuts, a delicacy in the world, be accompanied by fine wine." ”
The man in white stood up, pulled out his chair, made a "please" gesture to Mrs. Liu, and then walked to Li Yi's position just now and sat down.
"But I've heard someone say that Aunt Liu, most of the wine here is mixed with water, and it tastes like a drink," the man looked at the wine jug on the table and hesitated, "It's hard to say." ”
Mrs. Liu leaned on the stool and rolled her eyes: "That kind of wine is naturally used to deceive those palace ministers who are stupid and have a lot of money, you have called me aunt, can I still fool you with fake wine?" ”
The young man was a little suspicious, and glanced back at Li Yi who was standing behind him.
Li Yi hurriedly raised his head and stared at the roof, not squinting.
"Look at what he does, this kind of good wine is not his turn to drink, His Majesty drinks this kind of wine every time he comes to dinner, and even brings a few jars back to the palace to enjoy before leaving." Seeing that the man was staring at the pot of wine and kept looking up and down, Mrs. Liu directly took the jug herself, poured a full glass and handed it to the man.
The man's nose twitched, as if there was a wonderful mellow smell in the glass of wine in front of him? Something familiar, but I can't tell what it is.
Since it's not white water to wine, there must be no problem.
Taking the wine glass from Mrs. Liu's hand, the man raised his head and drank it all.
The next moment, this delicate face was distorted violently, as if it had eaten some dead fly.
"Oh, why is your face so ugly? Could it be that this wine is not to your taste? Mrs. Liu's eyes widened and she looked surprised, but the smile in her eyes could no longer be hidden.
