039, good people (II)
Lord Xiling rested in Gaocheng for three days, and then led his retinue to continue on the road. On the first night of his arrival in Gaocheng, Xin Shu went to visit the lord of Yuegeng alone, and later Yuegeng ordered a young descendant to be brought into the lord's mansion. Do the Lord Xiling, who also lives in the city, know about these things?
Even if Xiling himself couldn't detect the movement, there were three other Four Realm masters beside him, and he could know more or less what was going on, and with the cleverness of Lord Xiling, I am afraid he could guess what was going on.
But Lord Xiling didn't say anything, let alone ask, and only thought to himself in his heart after leaving Gaocheng. The lord of Yue Geng City deliberately kept the fish and swimming, as if he had other plans, should he find a suitable opportunity to relay the news to Ruoshan? It is best to choose the next time Shanshui City sends an envoy to pay tribute to the monarch, so as not to be known by outsiders.
Lord Xiling gave Yue Geng a gift in the name of Ruoshan, of course, he wanted to ease the relationship between the two, but in his heart, he was still more optimistic and valued by Ruoshan. From a personal point of view, Xiling certainly has a grudge against Yue Geng, and in the conflict between the various tribes in the wilderness, if he hadn't made the right decision by observing the situation, I am afraid that he would not have been able to return this mission.
Although Yue Geng apologized to him and apologized, Xiling did not perceive that Yue Geng was really uneasy. Yue Geng may be a little afraid, but this fear has become indifferent with the smooth return of Xiling. In the past few days in Gaocheng, Xiling has not heard that Yue Geng has any plans to give Ruoshan a gift in return.
The City Lord of Yue Geng may not be able to ignore those barbarian tribes, but since he has dealt with the other party, he should not act so lightly. It must be known that the person who really encountered the great danger was not the king's envoy Xiling, Lu Village and Huahai Village almost had the disaster of extermination, although this is not Yue Geng's fault, but it is not unrelated.
Now that the overall situation of the wilderness has been decided, Ruoshan will be named the lord of Shanshui City, although Shanshui City is located in a remote area and has not yet been built, far from being comparable to Gaocheng. To enter and exit Bahara, you must pass through Takajo, but Wakayama is also the lord of the castle after all. In any case, Yue Geng should send someone to send a heavy gift to congratulate him, and take this opportunity to apologize. Although there is no need to explain the original matter, Ruoshan can also be clear.
Xiling gave Yue Geng this opportunity, but Yue Geng didn't do that. Xiling asked about the whereabouts of Yu and You, but Yue Geng didn't tell the truth. In fact, even if he told the truth and wanted to keep Yu and You, would Xiling disagree? Xiling might only be able to call Yu and You to explain what was happening in the wilderness. And in the name of Wakayama, I can not only dissolve hatred as much as possible, but also make everyone be a good person.
Yue Geng has received the benefits of Youyu Village and all kinds of promises for the future, and of course he is emotionally inclined to Youyu Village, and now he is waiting for Ruoshan to give more benefits and promises!
Although Xiling was in Gaocheng, the lord of Yue Geng City entertained him very well, and when he said goodbye and left, the gifts that Yue Geng gave him and even his entourage were very valuable. And he accepted the gift, but he didn't feel happy, he just didn't reveal it.
The reason why Yue Geng gave a heavy gift was just that he was afraid that he would speak ill of the monarch in front of the monarch. You must know that Lu Dao Yuegeng was deceived by Youyu Village back then, and almost brought him big trouble on this mission. And the more Xiling covers up for Yue Geng, the less credit he has. Therefore, Xiling will accept it if it is polite, and it should accept Yue Geng's reparation. He will not speak ill of the king in front of the king, but he will not tell lies either.
Everyone has their own aspirations and ambitions, and Xiling's wish is to become the "Fuzheng" of the Prime Minister's Country. In turn, it can assist the monarch to calm the civil strife in Bayuan and restore the unified and stable country of Pakistan. In the country of Ba, there are soldiers, teachers, workers, cangs, sacrificial and other positions, and the sacrificial is generally concurrently held by the monarch himself, while the auxiliary is the head of the "right" and the chief of the hundred officials below the monarch.
Although Xiling has ambition and talent, he has never been able to hold the position of Zhuzheng, let alone assist him. Now there is an official position that is vacant, no one holds it and no one fights with him, but unfortunately he is not qualified to take office, that is, the person who presides over the school palace, also known as the school or deputy priest. The priesthood is usually held by the monarch himself, but it is only a symbolic performance on important festivals and other occasions, and ordinary affairs are in charge of the school.
Before the division of Pakistan, the last person to preside over the school palace was Lord Li Qingshui. Nowadays, although all the rituals and laws of the Xiangmuro country refer to the Pakistani country of the year, it has not been restored for a long time.
The Academy Palace is a place where talents are selected and cultivated in the country, and one of its most important tasks is to select young talents among the children of the major clans, and try to guide them through the initial realm to cultivate; In addition to that, they have to be taught all kinds of knowledge.
The person who presides over the Academy Palace must have passed the initial realm to cultivate, otherwise no matter how high the status or great merit is, he will not be able to sit in this position. Theoretically, the master of the palace is of course the higher the cultivation, the better, and it is best to be the person with the highest cultivation in the country, but in practice, it does not have to be so, because ordinary affairs can still be done by the deputies, and the deputy's cultivation can be higher. It's just that if Master Xuezheng himself doesn't know how to cultivate, then it can't be justified no matter what.
Xiling felt that he was still young, less than thirty years old, and there should still be hope for entering the initial realm. It's just that he came from a humble background, and he didn't have the opportunity to get guidance from masters in his early years, and later when he got older, the masters of various inheritances would not come to guide him.
This time to deal with the big fish shell, Lord Xiling stayed in the Central Valley for another three days. In fact, he didn't need to delay for so long, he spent more than two of the three days asking for advice from the mountain master - how to enter the initial realm and cultivate? The mountain master is at least a master of the five realms, it is usually difficult to meet him, and he has achieved such an achievement in the wild mountains, in Xiling's opinion, it is not easy, he must have something extraordinary, maybe he has a different experience.
The mountain master is not difficult to deal with, his attitude is very gentle and modest, he told a lot of experience to Lord Xiling, and taught him how to sit still and collect the spiritual energy, according to this method, it may be possible to break through the initial realm, but whether it can succeed depends on chance. Xiling said that if he can enter the initial realm in the future, he will definitely serve the mountain master as a teacher and treat him respectfully for life.
When Xiling said this, he was completely sincere, and there was no complicated judgment of the situation, nor did he weigh the interests of all parties. If he returns to the national capital and follows the instructions of the mountain master to "cultivate", one day he can really enter the initial realm, he will be sure to persuade the monarch to re-establish the school palace, and he himself has a good chance to become the master of the school palace, which is the first step to realize his personal wishes.
Nowadays, the five countries of Pakistan are all claimed to have inherited the orthodoxy of Pakistan, but until now, they have not officially established a school palace. There is a reason that everyone knows but does not explicitly say, and that is the existence of Chiwangqiu. Ba Yuan has been in civil strife for many years, and Chiwangqiu is growing in power, and it often recruits young talents who have entered the initial realm in various countries.
In this case, if each country establishes a school palace, the relationship with Chiwangqiu may become more awkward or delicate. In addition, it was easy to abandon the school palace back then, but it was too difficult to set it up again, which was not like building a castle, which only required manpower and material resources, and required a lot of effort from really talented people, and it was necessary to gather the best talents in the country to work together.
However, Xiling believes that if Xiangmuro wants to pacify Bayuan, he must first start by restoring the Xue Palace, although there is a long way to go. As for the establishment of the school palace, it is also necessary to try to avoid offending Chiwangqiu, and you can also appoint a master of the Chiwangqiu lineage as a doctor in the school, but you must try to maintain independence in terms of relationship, and the school palace belongs to the Xiangmuro country, not under the control of Chiwangqiu.
This is the lofty ideal in Xiling's heart, which belongs to him personally, to the Xiangmuro country, and even to the entire Bayuan. But the first step of a journey of a thousand miles is that he himself has to break through the initial realm. A small change in a wild place, almost no one knows about the vast Ba Yuan, but it secretly affects the fate of many people.
......
The tiger baby is in a deep state of ignorance and desirelessness, unable to see or hear anything, and the heavens and the earth and her body seem to not exist. In such a state, the scene inexplicably appeared in front of me, and I realized that I was still awake. He was in the middle of a high mountain, surrounded by a shallow pool of pebbles, into which a stream fed from above.
Tiger Baby didn't know why he was here, and it wasn't the result of his active thinking or fantasies. Then he felt the ground tremble slightly, and there was a thud from above, and a rampaging rhino beast rushed out—a scene he had ever experienced.
The galloping beast was so terrifying, but the tiger baby didn't move. Out of nowhere, two egg-sized stones slammed into it, and the rhinoceros fell forward in a frenzy, flipped over and fell, half of its body splashing in the pool.
In the initial experience, Huwa did not feel panicked, but he also felt danger and fear, but he kept calm and made the most reasonable and natural response. But such a scene still shocked him, so it was deeply imprinted in his mind, and now it reappeared in the fixed realm, allowing him to clearly recall and experience the impact of the shock on his mind.
After the rhino beast fell, the scene in the fixed realm inexplicably changed again. Huwa returned to Lu Village and stood on the altar in the middle of the clearing. Although his eyes were closed, he could clearly see what was happening around him. Countless strange-looking Feather people were shot down, and the warriors' spears and bows and arrows were immediately fired. The clansmen rushed out of the house with various weapons and slaughtered the Yu people who fell to the ground.
Everywhere there was a sight of flesh and blood, broken feathers, stumps, severed heads rolling around, and flaming arrows stuck in the ground. This was also the battle scene he had experienced, when the situation was urgent, and the clansmen were facing the test of life and death, he could only shoot with all his might, and he didn't have time to think too much.
But at this moment, in the fixed state, these scenes are reproduced in the most bloody way, so that the tiger baby has to review everything clearly, and those feelings that have not been experienced or unwilling to think about it are impacting the heart in the strongest way. (To be continued......)
