Chapter 29: The False Overlord and the True Xuande (6K7 Chapter)
In Zhuoxian, the strong wind suddenly rose, the stratus clouds overlapped, and the sunshine gradually thinned.
On the official road, Xiang Ji danced, connected the dots under his feet, walked through the mountains and forests, his eyes were slightly condensed, and he unconsciously pinched his fingers in his hand to calculate, "The sun is in the sky, and the clouds and mist are suddenly rising, covering the vitality, which is not a good sign." โ
Calculating the time, it should also be the time for the transfer of Ade loach breeding, and I don't know if it will be affected by this sudden change in the sky.
"On the day of transit, the day must not be blinded, there shall be no thunder to wake up the hidden dragon, and no evil shall be created, I have told Ade many times, I hope he can remember.
The so-called one life, two fortunes, three feng shui, four accumulations of yin virtue and five reading, if you want to strengthen your own life, it is not easy. โ
The thought turned, and as soon as he exerted force under his feet, he saw the carriage of the county government from a distance.
Looking at the direction of its travel, it also happens to be where Lousang Village is located.
"Huh? It's a coincidence, the road meets the deceased. โ
Suddenly, Wang Qian, the county lieutenant in the carriage, looked moved, and he had already seen Xiang Ji running on the road.
This sky-turning kun also went to Zhuo County before?
"The county lieutenant is also going to Lousang Village?" Xiang Ji was soon level with the carriage, and saw Wang Qian, the county lieutenant, and an old man in a Confucian robe and a high-crowned young man through the car window.
Wang Qian responded with a smile, as if facing a three-level martial artist of the same level, and said, "Brother Shanhe is exactly what he said, why don't you get on the horse and go along?" โ
With that, he leaned sideways and moved out of the way.
Witnessing this scene, the old man in the Confucian robe moved slightly, and saw that Xiang Ji's strength was not ordinary, and he could make the county lieutenants give up their seats, obviously the 'Heaven Turning Kun' who had recently become famous and killed the Sanguan martial artists.
Okay, Xiang Ji jumped in from the car window, and sat down beside Wang Qian, the big box slowly fell, covering the black wooden box on his back, he glanced at the old man and the young man in the Confucian robe sitting opposite, nodded slightly, and it was considered to have seen it.
"Those who practice martial arts are the first, and the predecessors are the one hundred and eighth in the Dragon and Tiger List? Under Liu Derang, I take the liberty to disturb and want to ask for a lesson or two! โ
Suddenly, the young man with a wide robe and big sleeves, his eyebrows were attentive, his hands arched in salute, and his expression was a hint of arrogance and fiery, and he looked straight over.
"Liu Derang? Haven't heard of it. Xiang Ji's expression was calm, his eyes were closed, he didn't care at all, he just lightly put down the next sentence and ignored it.
"Derang, don't be presumptuous, you are a fledgling, you dare to provoke the heroes of the world without any achievements, and you can't forget the truth on weekdays." Liu Yuanqi, the old man in the Confucian robe, scolded, and his face was displeased.
This is too rude, people have been taught for so long and it is really fed to the dog's stomach.
Liu Derang pouted and said, "That's why you have to challenge more, you can't meet a character like the Tiankun all the time, and you have to grasp it even more when you meet it, Dad, why don't you even understand such a truth!"
If you miss this opportunity, God knows how many years it will take to meet the dragon and tiger heroes of the same level, and I can't wait! โ
When he said this, Liu Yuanqi's voice couldn't help choking, and Wang Qian's expression was also a little strange.
There seems to be some truth to this, although not much.
Xiang Ji was amused, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly, "Then you can make a move in the carriage and point out to you." โ
Shot in the carriage?
Isn't there even a sword?
Wang Qian and Liu Yuanqi glanced at each other, understood the meaning, and felt a kind of confidence and calmness.
There is no need to see a knife.
"Good! Thank you seniors, you have understood! Liu Derang's eyes lit up when he saw this, he got up and pulled out the sword out of the sheath, and stabbed it with a bang, the cold light of the sword tip shimmered, and he couldn't help shaking under the attachment of his strength, like a swimming dragon swinging his tail, and five blows in an instant, throwing out five sword flowers of Bai Sensen.
Wang Qian's eyes narrowed, this is exactly the killing style in the dragon swordsmanship, seeing the dragon probing claws, he used all his strength when he came up, this Zhuoxian Junjie obviously didn't dare to hold it up, but...
In the face of this blow, Xiang Ji still closed his eyes, and even sat there without moving, just raising a hand casually.
Bang! There was a muffled sound in the sky, and this punch seemed to be weak, but it gave the three of them a sense of small trickling and soft water!
The spiritual power boils within a zhang, there seems to be a spring trickling, the waves are blooming, the long sword is surrounded by layers, and when the fist is approaching, it instantly turns from the small stream to the river into the majestic momentum of the hundred rivers into the sea, the fist to the halfway, has undergone two changes, and in the end, it is the surging river, endless, such as the water is indisputable and good at winning, unstoppable!
The sound of the bell, like lightning jumping, splashing water waves, just a collision, this saw that the dragon probe claws were broken head-on, five sword flowers withered, and the long sword was turned upside down and inserted back into the sheath, not a bad point, just like when it was not pulled out, only Liu Derang was left stunned in the carriage, and some could not react.
"Brother Shanhe's skills have grown again." Looking at this punch, Wang Qian couldn't help but take a deep breath, even at the level of the three levels, he could feel the charm of the stream converging into the river, and the hundred rivers competing to enter the sea first, indicating that the opponent's spiritual martial arts have been refined, resulting in a punch and a kick with a long meaning, and the power cannot be underestimated.
"Turning the sky Kun, it really lives up to its reputation, it's me Meng Lang, I apologize to my seniors." Liu Derang could afford to take it and put it down, and if he lost, he admitted it on the spot, bent down and bowed and sat up again.
It's just that his hands kept secretly gesturing, frowning and thinking hard, obviously still immersed in Fang Cai's short hand, to learn a lesson and improve his own martial arts.
"A child is a martial idiot when he is young, and it is not strange to ask the mountains and rivers to catch his head, and the little old man Yuan Qi also saw the ceremony." The old man in the Confucian robe named Liu Yuanqi shook his head and smiled bitterly when he saw this, and he also bowed his hand, and met Xiang Ji.
The young talents who are really on the list of dragons and tigers are really not comparable to the talents of a county, and the gap is obvious.
"Well, there's no need to be polite." Xiang Ji still closed his eyes, and his head was slightly bowed, so nothing happened.
Wang Qian is not surprised, although these two people have some backgrounds, they have no meaning to the 'Heaven Turning Kun', and they are not in the same rivers and lakes.
There was nothing to say all the way, the carriage traveled for half an hour, and finally came to the gate of Lousang Village, Xiang Ji left first, ready to meet Doctor Huang.
The long street and alley were full of people, but there seemed to be something wrong at the moment, and many villagers gathered in front of the courtyard, looking panicked and looking very worried.
"What's going on?"
Xiang Ji paused slightly, and suddenly found that on the path that Ade often walked, there was a dirty puddle, and an ant was struggling in it, struggling to get ashore.
The wind is blowing, the rain is falling, and it is always overturned at the moment when it has hope to land, and it will sink into it.
"Is it an omen, this ant..."
Before he could tell the fortune, the surrounding villagers gathered around him as if they had seen a savior, and talked about the major events that happened in the village.
Some people say that Ade picked up a person from outside the village again, and it turned out to be a rogue in disguise, and this rogue is the son of the former township chief who planned to harm the county order in the past.
"Yes, Ade is the time to change his life against the sky today, is this a catastrophe? But you must not create evil, otherwise your previous achievements will be wasted and others will be affected! โ
Xiang Ji's color changed suddenly, and his body turned and walked in the direction of the Wang family's compound.
At the same time, on the edge of Lousang Village, Ade Courtyard.
Two figures were standing here, and Ade was knocked to the ground, bruised on his face.
"I really want to thank you, if you hadn't picked up my subordinates and had him lead the way, I wouldn't have broken through the obstacles of the county government so smoothly and came back and took the old king away." The man in front was carrying a brass clock, his face was cold and cruel, and it was the bell that hit the mountain and the sea.
"Hehe, idiot, anyone on the road dares to save anyone, should it be the age of everyone's saints?" The betrayer who was his subordinate sneered, not guilty at all, but smug.
Yu Hai didn't talk nonsense, slapped down the courtyard wall with one palm, picked up Old Man Wang and flew up.
"No!" Ade's eyes were torn as he watched as the slamming bell collapsed the house with one palm, and the beams and pillars pressed down along with the roof, hiding his mother below.
At this moment, he no longer had any patience in his mind, and rushed forward desperately, not paying attention to the three gaps, only one thought, revenge!
Why? He has done good deeds and accumulated virtue since he was born, but he has to suffer such a tragedy?
Why, his parents and relatives live their duty, but they have to suffer from the poisonous hands of the rogue?
Why is it that there are so many wicked people in the world, but they live happily, while good people are bullied?
Why? Good people should be pointed at by swords!
"Bastard! You tell me, why! Why! Ade rushed forward like crazy, but was slapped up by Yu Hai with a sideways palm, and his body flew out three feet away like rag catkins, and fell directly to the ground, vomiting out a mouthful of blood, and his muscles and bones fell apart.
"Why? It's very simple, weakness is the original sin, the common people just have no status, what's the use of being kind, meaningless compassion, it's just harming others and yourself, you have a kind heart for a while, pick this guy back, think there will be good retribution?
Hahaha, wrong! It's all your own self-righteousness, and if you hadn't brought back the spies, how would I have come back to take revenge? This is cause and effect, the cause and effect that you provoked yourself! โ
Zhong Yuhai laughed and couldn't stop mocking, even he didn't expect everything to go so smoothly.
"Brother Shanhe is right, benevolence, righteousness and morality are not supported by strength, it is just empty talk, today's disasters are all because of me, what kind of face do you have to face the people of Lousang Village?" Ade was sad and indignant, because of his kindness, but he harmed the old man Wang and his mother, which made him feel extremely painful and self-blamed, and unconsciously had a kind of confusion.
Rende, is it really wrong?
A gentleman is benevolent and righteous, is it really impossible to live in this world?
Is it evil in order to live a stable and happy life?
Is he really, wrong?
At this moment, he desperately hoped that Brother Shanhe would be by his side and could give him an answer, but he couldn't.
At the moment, there is only himself.
"Boy, I'm interested, I want you to live like I did, bear the scolding and humiliation of the whole village, and be regarded as a scourge and a disaster, this township chief, I will accept it."
Zhong Yuhai grabbed the neck of the old man Wang, turned around and left, so that Ade could realize the pain he had back then and take back the position of the township chief.
"Don't go! Don't go! Seeing this, Ade rushed forward and pounced, trying to redeem his mistakes, but was pushed by Yu Hai and fell back, unable to struggle.
"Dogskin plaster-like thing, fuck you, pick me up, you really think you're a savior?" The rogue, who was picked up by Ade himself, kicked out and kicked Ade to the ground.
Then, he stepped forward and kicked Ade's body again and again, making him watch Yu Hai, who had captured Old Man Wang, go away, leaving only a string of laughter.
What made Ade's heart hurt even more was that the person he had rescued with his own hands was trampling on him and humiliating him.
A sense of betrayal swelled in his heart, more than the pain in his body.
In the midst of grief and indignation, a force spread in his body, causing Ade to burst violently, flipping the rogues to the ground, turning over and pressing them, and wielding his sword.
"You bastard!"
He clutched the sword in his hand, his eyes were red, and he grabbed the betrayer's collar with the blade of the sword, which was already pressed against his neck, and with a single force, it could cut through the skin and end his life and avenge his hatred.
But, killing him, is it really revenge? Yu Hai, who shot it, is still at large, and what he killed is just a substitute for the dead.
Is there any difference between bullying the weak and fearing the hard, and embarking on this road?
"Kill me? Kill me! You don't even dare to swing your sword, what kind of martial arts are you practicing! "The betrayer is laughing, unbridled sarcasm.
He is not afraid of death, he hates the way of the world, and he just wants to watch a different person, fall into the same path as them, so that there is comfort in his heart, not that they want to do so, but that the world compels him.
Faced with all this, Ade hesitated, countless voices in his head were mixed together, and his head was splitting.
A voice kept echoing in his head, kill, kill, kill! Abandon benevolence, righteousness and morality, abandon conscience, and only for evil can we live in this world.
At the same time, another voice is also fighting, on the day of the change of life, do not create evil, otherwise the previous achievements will be wasted, and even affect those close to you.
"Ah!! What the hell should I do! โ
Ade roared wildly, in pain, punch after punch smashed into the betrayer's face, tears couldn't stop pouring out, at this moment, he was really confused and powerless, and the faith in his heart was shattered.
No one can help him, and no one can enlighten him.
Under the dark clouds, lightning and thunder roared, and he was the only one who was sad.
Finally, he picked up his sword and slowly aimed it at the betrayer's throat.
Poke it down!
As long as you poke it, it's a hundred.
"Hey, hey, that's it, human nature is like this, human nature is evil at the beginning, no matter how good you do and accumulate virtue, it's useless, at such a moment, it will eventually be exposed and will be restored.
What is the difference between you and us? Hahaha! โ
Seeing that he had his wish, the betrayer voluntarily closed his eyes, laughed and waited for death to come.
He is really not wrong, human nature is inherently evil, and the so-called good people and gentlemen under the oppression of the world will be no different from him.
However.
The expected pain did not come, but a faint warm touch appeared on the face.
It's raining?
No, when he opened his eyes, he was shocked to find that it was not rain.
It's blood!
The blood that dripped from the sword belonged to Ade.
Without speaking, Ade's eyes were as dull as dead wood, and he did press down the sword with one hand, but the other hand firmly grasped the blade, and even though the cut wound continued to bleed, he never let go.
"Different."
Drops of blood flowed, and a dry and hoarse voice sounded, causing the betrayer's eyes to widen. What?! โ
"I am different from you.
If in the troubled times, benevolence, righteousness and morality turn into empty talk, and me, it is up to me to stick to this last bottom line, and I will practice it! โ
The voice was very soft, very weak, but it exploded like thunder in the long space, firm and powerful.
Ade staggered to his feet, looked at the high sky covered with dark clouds, looked at the rumbling thunder and lightning, looked at the ants struggling in the puddle, slowly raised his sword in front of his forehead, and whispered, "I practice martial arts, just to protect my family and the villagers, and I hope to establish a place where the old are safe, the young are cherished, and everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, without bowing to power and worrying about the harassment of the green forest."
If I don't kill you with my own hands, it's not for my life, but for my heart, for my bottom line, today's everything, don't fall into my heart, like a cold plum, forge ahead. โ
Youยทยท You? The betrayer's heart trembled, he had never felt so small and humble, but in front of this person, he really saw a kind of benevolence, a goodness that belonged to people.
"Just like ants and loaches, like dust and weeds, like all living beings, I, never be trapped by 'life'!" Ade's gaze was as firm and powerful as ever, and his palm pushed the tip of the sword to slash in front of his forehead inch by inch, tearing open a bloody vertical mark, gritting his teeth and shouting, "I, that's me, I'm the one who is good!" It is the benevolence of the dark world! I am... Ade! โ
With the blood splashing, the betrayer was extremely shocked, and he clearly saw that Ade's forehead seemed to open a blood-colored eye of the sky, facing the sky, this is in, change his life?
Thundered!
At this moment, the dark clouds were torn apart, the wind stopped, and a thunderclap fell, shining on the long sky and pale.
In the thunder light, there was a rich golden light and a golden dragon-like air flow, which was actually the legendary dragon qi of the Son of Heaven!
Boom!
The thunder fell, and the blood-colored vertical marks from the eyebrows and hearts of the dragon qi and light clusters were submerged into Ade's body, and they were even more cathartic, directly hitting the betrayers on the side, and burning them into a ball of charcoal on the spot.
Heavenly punishment? Before the last thought could arise, his life came to an end, and he died out completely.
Damnation will be given to those who turn their backs.
Poof! Ade, who was hit by the dragon's qi and light, fell to the sky, and directly passed out, sheltered by clumps of grass and trees.
The wind stopped, and in the puddle, the little ant finally climbed up, saw the light of day, and stood quietly in the sky and earth after the rain.
Above the sky, the dark clouds that had been stretching had dispersed, and the golden sun reappeared, shining on the earth in all directions.
In the collapsed courtyard, an old man with a medicine basket on his back walked slowly, lifted the rubble, and picked up an unconscious figure.
Everything is quiet and peaceful again.
And in the village, in the courtyard of the Wang family, Xiang Ji looked up at the sky as if he had a feeling, revealing a different color, "Clearing the clouds and fog, seeing the sun again, returning to the auspicious omen, what happened?" โ
"Who knows, but Yu Hai ran fast, but fortunately, Old Man Wang was okay and was rescued by me." Wang Qian, the county lieutenant who came in a hurry, shook his head, only feeling that this credit came inexplicably.
Walking on the road, as soon as I got off the carriage at the entrance of the village, I ran into Yu Hai, who was dragging Old Man Wang away, and there was such a coincidence?
It's really a credit for nothing, good luck.
"Lord County Governor, now that the matter of the township chief is over, let's talk about the purpose of our visit, that Ade." At this moment, the old man in the Confucian robe spoke, and he came to Lousang Village with a purpose.
Ade?
Xiang Ji was stunned when he heard this, why did he still have something to do with him?
After a few breaths, the county lieutenant bowed his head and said, "This is a good thing, I will naturally not stop my ancestors and return to my ancestors, but they are orphans and widows, there are many inconveniences, can there be arrangements in the clan?" โ
"Since there is an arrangement in the clan, I heard that the name and the word of Ade were not arranged because of the early death of his father, and the elders of the clan also set it for him, and it can be used when he is full of age and crown, which is called Xuande ascending, and it is ordered to be in place., Kong Sheng also has a cloud 'Xuan is a hidden and stealthy morality', and his name, the word should be Xuande, and if the name is taken, there are clan brothers in front of him as 'let, hide, and store', and respect it, it should be... Prepare! Liu Yuanqi, an old man in a Confucian robe, stroked his long beard lightly and said with a smile.
Such a good seedling whose good name is spread for ten miles and eight towns recognizes his ancestors and returns to his ancestors, which is also good for them, and it just so happens that there is a place to study in the Beijing Academy this year, which is just the right candidate.
"Ready, okay, Ade finally has a name, Liu Bei, Xuande, Liu Xuande, after King Jing of Zhongshan, plus the Liu clan's triennial opportunity to study in Beijing, Brother Yuan Qi funded, Xuande and De Rang also have the hope of taking off, okay, very good."
County Lieutenant Wang Qian couldn't help but nodded, this is indeed a good thing, with Liu Yuanqi's net worth and clan skills, it is not difficult to fund Liu Derang and Liu Xuande to study in Beijing together, not to mention that the great Confucian Lu Zhi is a fellow villager, and most of the people with clan identity and favor can worship and study under him.
Liu Bei?!
Liu Xuande! Xiang Ji's thoughts were confused for a while, his mouth opened slightly, and he fell into a daze. Is it Xuande?!
In 175, Xuande went from his clan to Beijing to study, is this the case? Didn't I indirectly promote the creation of a Liu Xuande with the method of changing my life? โ
Liu Xuande, who he has been looking for for so long, turned out to be Ade beside him?
And he became Liu Xuande, also because of himself?
There is no virtue in the world, and it will only appear because of fate? No, no, no, no, maybe it's also the trajectory of history? Even if it doesn't, it will be born for various reasons, and even change its name to a 'Liu Xuande'?
It's really... It's really a bit unexpected, and it can only be said that the method of raising a hidden dragon and changing your life has indeed succeeded, which is also a good thing.
The so-called life change, in fact, the principle is not so complicated, just like you are thirsty and want to drink water, but in the end the decision of whether to drink water is up to you.
Thinking about it carefully, everything seems to be connected again, Liu Derang, who fought with him, was the person who went to study with Liu Bei in history, and Liu Yuanqi, who came this time, was the uncle who funded them, and it can only be said that there is a certain number in the dark.
"Easy technique, number of lives, I really can't understand it, no wonder some people say that the more you study, the more puzzled you become."
Xiang Ji took a deep breath, his heart was full of waves, and he had a new understanding of numerology and numerology, and Yi Shu cultivated to the next level.
It's like the wind blowing the rain and smashing into a small puddle, if there is no wind, the rain can't hit it, if there is no rain, the wind blows useless, everything is actually together, many people think that how I make and how to choose, I don't know that your choice must cater to your own life; The so-called personality is to determine everything around you, just like your birth, your environment. Many, many things that seem to be bad are actually not necessarily bad for you, and things that seem to be good are actually hidden dangers and murderous opportunities everywhere. Everyone knows that wealth is beautiful, but most people turn a blind eye to the jealousy and calculation of others, and they all feel great about the dazzling light, but they don't know that in the dark corner, there are a pair of vicious eyes staring at the place where the light shines.
And all of this was witnessed by Old Doctor Huang outside the door, and it seemed that even the thunder of the explosion could not be hidden.
"It is said that you are the descendant of the overlord, so is it really true? If someone else makes you think, are you really that person?
Perhaps, from beginning to end, there are no descendants of the overlord, only an ordinary Orion family in the mountains and forests, and it just happens to be a surname.
There are many surnames, but there is only one overlord.
There are also many people with the surname Liu, and there is only one Liu Bang. โ
Old Doctor Huang smiled meaningfully, and put the woman on his back outside the Wang family's compound, it was Ade's mother, who was rescued in time and was fine.
Maybe he came in vain, but perhaps, he didn't come in vain.
A person who was pushed onto the table and disguised as a descendant of the overlord, and a person who coincidentally became the queen of King Jing of Zhongshan, there is also a meeting in the dark.
Whether it's true or not, maybe it doesn't matter.
The overlord who is not the overlord, the Xuande who is not the Xuande,
Maybe what his master said back then was not correct, everything was fate, and it was not up to anyone at all?
No, no, now, after seeing Xiang Ji and Liu Bei, Old Doctor Huang already has another answer in his heart:
Everything is the heart, and everything is made by people.
