Goo-goo......

Ripples rippled on the water.

A small boat slowly rose from underwater, and the entire hull was shrouded in a golden shroud, like a dream.

There were three people sitting on the boat, and at the bow of the boat was a beautiful girl with blank eyes. In the back of the boat sat an old man

The old man didn't seem to be at the age of the sixtieth birthday, his head was gray, his spirit was vibrant, he was wearing a yellow-gray robe, and as soon as he came out, he narrowed his eyes and said, "I haven't seen the light for a long time, I'm really a little unaccustomed to it." ”

Meng Shuai secretly said in his heart: You are hypocritical, it's night.

Tian Jingying said, "Uncle Jiu, you really should come out and walk more." The humidity inside Longmu Temple is very heavy, and I'm afraid that your ancestors will not be in good health after living for a long time. ”

The old man shook his head and said, "We don't want to go out, especially the three uncles. Because the Dragon Wood View is the only hope for us old fellows. If we hadn't been too stupid back then, and listened to the old boy of the Rong family, we would still be able to walk around more and have a chance. The old liar," he said, slapping the boat hard.

Tian Jingying was taken aback, and after a while, when the old man stopped talking, he put his hand on the seal and said, "Uncle Jiu, let's go to Qiongdao, now that the banquet is over, they should all be transferred there." It is also convenient to take the waterway, but unfortunately this boat can only dive, and it is a little inconvenient to cross the lake. ”

The old man said, "Well, let's row over." But it's not you paddling, boy, you paddling. I remember there was also an oar in the cabin. ”

Meng Shuai said: "Okay, you can't let a girl from the Seventh Highness do this kind of physical work." Respect the old and have mercy on the weak, as it should be. "I rummaged through the cramped cabin, and sure enough, I found a wooden oar with a rotten handle. He grew up in a water town, and he still knew how to row the boat, and he had a lot of strength, and he could swing the oars and straighten the boat with only one oar

Meng Shuai said: "I don't know the way. You watch it for me. ”

The old man said, "All right, go east, follow the direction of my finger, do you see that light burning? ”

Meng Shuai said in his heart: You actually remember the road so clearly, it can be seen that you haven't seen the sun for a long time, it's all pretending to be forced.

The boat sailed on the water, and the evening breeze blew up the green silk, wrinkled the lake, and blew away the hustle and bustle in the red dust. The boat swayed and sailed towards the spark in the distance.

For a moment, the three of them fell silent, as if enjoying the silence of the night.

Suddenly, Tian Jingying spoke: "Uncle Jiu, the person you said deceived you is not Mr. Fu Rong."

Meng Shuai's mind suddenly cleared, and a long-lost name popped out of his mind - Rongchang.

Immediately afterwards, he remembered a series of characters such as Rong Lingqi, King Zhao, Fu Jinshui, etc., and that incident was the beginning of his involvement in the troubled world.

The old man snorted and said, "If it's not him, who else can he be?" I hate so many of us, I am afraid that we are five hundred years old, and we will be deceived by this kid. ”

Meng Shuai's heart moved, and he said: "What you are talking about is really Mr. Rongchang, I have admired Mr. Rongchang for a long time, although I have never visited him in person, but I also believe that with his old man's temperament, he will not do ghostly things."

Tian Jingying also followed: "When the little girl was sealed with Liu Zun, she was also guided by Mr. Rong, and I also think that he is not a glorious and admirable person. ”

The old man snorted and said, "You young people don't understand anything, and it is precisely because of the hypocrisy of that old thing that it has been the same for decades that it is even more powerful to deceive people." Back then, we gave the treasure at the bottom of the pressure box in Longmu Guan to the old man, just because we believed him that he could get the elixir that broke through to the innate realm...... If it weren't for the little fame he had accumulated, how could we be so trusted? ”

Tian Jingying was silent, and after a while, said: "When Liu Zun left before, he said that it was because he got the news of Mr. Rong. Maybe it's just because what Mr. Rong is looking for is very important, and it takes a little longer. Wait, wait, maybe the two old men will return together. ”

The old man said, "I'm still waiting for a fart." Because the uncle believed in him, he dragged it to the end of his life, and his life was consumed by him. Now, except for me, the other old uncles have little time, and they have to rely on the spiritual eyes in the Longmu Temple to nourish their qi, which can be maintained, and they can't come out at will. If my Tian clan's martial arts vein is broken, he will be very responsible, and you don't have to wait for Liu Gong. With that black heart surnamed Rong, your Liu Gong may have killed him earlier. ”

Meng Shuai said in his heart: I see

He remembered the inheritance he had inherited from Rong Lingqi. There were only two small boxes and four pills. After he saw clearly that it was an elixir, he was not interested in it and kept throwing it in the black soil world. Otherwise, with his sealing technique today, the sealing lock would have been opened a long time ago.

No wonder Rong Chang dared to entrust a few pills to turn things around, this must be a panacea that can help supreme martial artists break through to the innate realm. If the Tian family had three or four more innate masters at once, then it would be worth it? Even if it couldn't turn things around on the battlefield, with its deterrent power, it would be enough for those feudal towns in other places to drink a pot

It's a pity that this old man's luck is so bad, although he tried his best to get the pill, but he couldn't deliver it to the Tian family, so his thousands of efforts were in vain. Just like online shopping, no matter where you lose the package, it doesn't matter what the seller does, as long as you fail to deliver it to your door, it is a negative score and a bad review.

Although Rong Chang is a sinner to the Tian family, he is a great nobleman to Meng Shuai. Not only did he deliver such a precious treasure, but he also crippled the Tian family's martial arts hole cards by the way.

Such a treasure fell into the hands of Meng Shuai, which is really a bit tyrannical. After all, he has never taken pills, and he also has the innate self-confidence that he can break through without taking pills, and this treasure that is hard to find is only stained with some copper odor in his hands and sold for a good price. Go back to Chen Qian to see the medicinal properties, and then figure out how to get the maximum benefit.

Although he said that wealth was important, he still said a word for Rong Chang, who was wronged: "Zhou Gong is afraid of rumors, when Wang Mang Liqian is corporal, if he dies on the same day, who knows if he is a traitor behind him?"

What he said was not an allusion to this world, and the old man naturally didn't understand, so he snorted and said, "I haven't asked you about it yet." There aren't a few uncles to protect you now. ”

Meng Shuai paddled slowly and said, "Meng is not afraid of shadows, who does he need to protect him?"

The old man said, "A good body is not afraid of shadows." The old man doesn't ask about your loyalty, but only about your ability, although your sealing technique is good, but your ability is comparable to that of the Seven Girls? How can you support an entire spiritual officer system?"

Tian Jingying said: "Ninth uncle, Meng Shuai's ability is far better than mine......"

The old man shouted violently: "Seven girls, you shut up. There is also a degree to turn your elbows outward, and you haven't married him yet. Do you want your daughter's family to be reserved?"

Tian Jingying stopped suddenly, and slowly turned her back.

Meng Shuai said: "Why do you bully the Seventh Highness like this, as if she is sincere and has turned into selfishness." Let you say that, and she will only have a chill left. ”

Tian Jingying still turned her back, her shoulders twitching slightly.

The old man did not show such small details, and shouted: "If you say that she is not selfish, prove it."

Meng Shuai said: "What to prove? Prove that I can completely replace the Seventh Highness? Isn't this obvious? Impossible." ”

The old man frowned, then let go, and said, "Oh?"

Meng Shuai said: "There is no one in this world who can completely replace the Seventh Highness. In terms of talent, she is a double genius of sealing and resourcefulness, and in terms of identity, she is a disciple of Zheliutang, the princess of Daqi, which identity is brought out, she is upright and loud. In terms of background, she has the full support of Oriyutang's best friends, the Seal Master Line, and the Tian Family's Martial Arts Line. Either way, there's no substitute. ”

The old man said, "Oh, so you also think she should stay and preside over the spirit officer system?"

Meng Shuai said: "I don't care, it's just that the royal family wants a spirit official system, or a powerful sealer?"

The old man's eyes moved, and he said, "If it's you, how do you choose?"

Meng Shuai said: "Isn't this obvious? The Seventh Highness has unlimited potential, she has unlimited possibilities in Xuanji Mountain, no one knows where she will go, and if she stays in Daqi, she will become a 10,000-year pasteer, because the spiritual official system is really a bunch of rags." ”

Although Tian Jingying turned her back, she couldn't help but say fiercely at this time: "The surname is Meng, are you saying good or bad things? ”

The old man applauded and said, "Interesting, I believe that the seven girls really have a heart to choose you." Tell me, how is this sealer system a pile of rags?"

Meng Shuai said: "Obviously, this is a special product of a special era, and its foundation is the unrivaled national strength of the Great Qi Dynasty, which dominated the world at the beginning. At that time, the national strength of Daqi to raise the sealer was the icing on the cake and a showcase for the prosperous era. And the current spiritual official system will only become a bloodsucker that wastes national strength. ”

The old man said, "That's not right again. Don't we know the truth of doing what we can? The spiritual official system is just a bait, and all we want is the title of the orthodoxy of the sealer. As for the offerings, it is impossible to compare them with those years at all. ”

Meng Shuai said: "Impossible, as soon as this system is activated, the consumption will become greater and larger, until it gets out of control." Don't forget, there are too many princes in the world. ”

The old man was stunned, and Meng Shuai continued: "Now the princes are also raising sealers, but they are secretly raising. Now the imperial court wants to turn over the spirit official system and form a system, which is to raise the price for the sealer. As a sealer, of course, I'm happy to see it happen, but what will the other princes do? They will follow suit, right? There are more than ten places in the world where you can clearly raise sealers, how fierce should the competition between them be? Sealers are like strategists, they can travel the world, and good birds choose trees to perch on, so they will naturally be bustling and go for profit, and this spiritual official system is just a stepping stone. ”

The old man said: "But my Great Qi Dynasty is orthodox......

Meng Shuai said: "You mean that the sealer will be more loyal than the civil and military generals?"

The old man was speechless - now even the heart of a scholar is no longer in the imperial court, let alone a sealer?

Meng Shuai said: "Once the competition is opened, the imperial court can't compare with the bottom, just like the genuine version can't sell pirated copies." Because the operable space is too small, the stall is too big, and the treatment can only go up and not down, and if it continues to rise, the imperial court finances will be under pressure, and it can't fight those feudal towns that are not expensive, so they can only become the benchmark of big pot rice, and there will be a lot of rice worms to be sold at a price. The imperial court will either close the stall early, or be dragged down by them, and once it collapses, it will only make the overall situation worse. ”

The old man was dumbfounded, and he had nothing to say.

Tian Jingying couldn't hold back any longer, turned her head, and said, "Why didn't you tell me before?"

Meng Shuai coughed and said, "If it were you, the situation wouldn't be so bad." As I said earlier, you have the capital, and you can pull up a team of sealers on your own to stabilize the situation. Maybe we can get out of this scuffle sooner?"

The old man said, "What if it were you? What would you do? Seeing the problem, you are just a small talent, and if you can solve the problem, you are a great talent." You talk about it, don't just take advantage of your tongue, but you are a good man with low eyes. ”

Meng Shuai said: "If it were me, I would overthrow the sealing system." Instead of clinging to the shortcomings, it is better to start anew and play a little fresh. ”

The old man snorted and said, "Yes, go on." ”

Meng Shuai said: "First, the first sealer can't be raised. Raising them and eating and drinking for nothing is necessary except for money? At most, let them not add to the chaos. The sealer wouldn't have caused trouble. Let them work for me and let them support themselves. ”

The old man said "oh oh" twice and said, "Not bad." What else?"

Meng Shuai said: "Second, in terms of sealing, the core competitiveness of the imperial court is not financial resources, let alone orthodox status. It's Taizong, and the legacy left by his old man. ”

The old man said, "Taizong, his old man's inheritance?"

Meng Shuai said: "Where are the top ten spirit marquis of Taizong, thousands of spirit officials, where are the sealing artifacts made

The old man said, "Some of them are piled up in the apse of Longmuguan...... But it's not an important thing, and the weapons have long been separated. ”

Meng Shuai said: "What does the sealer want a weapon for? the most important thing is that the seal legacy left at the peak of the dynasty's sealing technique is a treasure that no one else can compare to." ”

The old man listened with a radiant face, and said, "Yes, yes, yes, and then what?"

Meng Shuai said: "It's gone." ”

The old man punched someone in the face and said, "No, are you teasing me?"

Meng Shuai said: "You're always teasing me, right? The rotten Confucianism outside can also change a black veil for a strategy, I drank the northwest wind on the boat, and talked about it for a long time, without even saliva." I've said it all back, you kicked me, you learned to do it yourself, let me play with it?"

If he had said such presumptuous words at the beginning, the old man would have been furious, and then he was stunned by him, but he was speechless.

Tian Jingying said with a smile: "Ninth uncle, learn to be literary and martial arts, and the goods are with the emperor's family." If the emperor's family doesn't know the goods, they have to sell it to the family. You'll have to be polite. ”

The old man patted his head and said, "That's it." The old man is confused. Meng Gongzi is talented, and the old man has just been clumsy. I'm going to ...... this," he patted himself, and there was nothing to take out to be polite

Tian Jingying said: "You are still blind and polite, you want to appreciate Meng Gongzi, there will be a chance in a while." I'm going to introduce my son to the imperial brother. Brother Huang, you know, he has a bit of a ...... Not high. ”

The old man said, "Yes, I hate him for that." ”

Tian Jingying said: "If he makes things difficult for Meng Gongzi at that time, who will be able to come out?

The old man said, "Yes, yes." Wrap it around me. ”

Meng Shuai raised his eyes and saw that the lights were approaching, and said, "We're almost there......" Before the words fell, he only heard a few cooing sounds, and black smoke suddenly rose from the water in front of him.

Meng Shuai was dumbfounded, thinking that the night was dark and he had seen it wrong. Unexpectedly, there was a commotion, the water surface was divided, and a black smoke rolled and fell on the boat, and a sharp voice laughed: "You are also going to the island over there? ”
