Chapter 30: The Past Days

In the early morning, Suzaku Street is still full of people coming and going, very lively, Wuqing walked on the street, looking at a team of neat palace guards behind him and the two middle-aged eunuchs in front of him, and smiled at Dou Sandao, who wanted to talk and stopped talking: "I have to say that your official family is really efficient, and I will enter the palace early in the morning, Brother Dou, do you say that I am going to be auspicious or evil?"

Dou Sandao smiled bitterly: "Brother, it's really hard for me to say about this, but since the emperor summoned you, it must be that you are not really angry, you should deal with it carefully, and the sword on your back should be put away, and the face monarch must not carry sharp weapons." ”

A middle-aged eunuch in the lead looked back and smiled: "It's okay, the emperor told the disciple of Fang Cunshan to enter the palace to avoid all mundane rites, and the sword can naturally be carried." ”

"Oh?" Dou Sandao was a little surprised, "Exempt from all vulgar courtesy?" Although he is the captain of Jin Wuwei, according to the rank of the court official, he has never met the emperor in person, and this time he is only a little worried about Wuqing and accompanying him all the way.

This group of people and horses naturally attracted attention on the densely populated Suzaku Street, and the pedestrians on the side of the road gathered together to discuss, after all, the palace guards rarely go out of the palace, and there is a young man with a sword in this team who seems to be invited, which is indeed a little confusing.

The group soon came to the palace, and under the gaze of Dou Sandao, Wuqing followed the team and slowly walked into the palace gate.

............

Emperor Sima Dai was in the Qinzheng Hall at this time to review the official documents, in addition to a few little eunuchs who were waiting by his side, Chief Manager Wu also stood with his hands hanging on the side. After all, Sima Dai was over seventy years old, and his energy was not very strong, so he raised his head and rubbed the corners of his eyes a little tired after a while. The little eunuch hurriedly handed over a linen towel soaked in hot water, and Sima Dai unfolded the towel and applied it to his face, sighing comfortably. After a long time, Sima Dai took off the towel on his face, handed it back to the little eunuch, and said to Chief Manager Wu: "Wu Changban, my body is getting worse and worse, I have decided to give up this throne to Du'er at the beginning of next year, and I will also enjoy a few years of Qingfu." ”

Mr. Wu bowed down and said: "Such a big thing, the old slave does not dare to put his beak, but the emperor you are kind-hearted and decisive, these old slaves are in their hearts, today you have put forward the idea of Zen position, I think you have made up your mind, the old slave will wish you in advance to unload the burden and enjoy the old age." ”

Sima Dai laughed happily when he heard Chief Manager Wu say this, although there is no lack of precedents for the Great Jin Dynasty to give up the throne, but it seems that such a major event in the world, saying it in the mouths of these two people is as natural as the usual chat between two old peasants, which makes the little eunuchs who are waiting around him speechless and secretly sigh that his own emperor is really extraordinary.

At this moment, the small yellow gate outside entered the hall and said: "Your Majesty, the disciple of Fangcun Mountain, Wu Qingfeng, is waiting outside the hall. ”

Sima Dai let out an "oh" and said indifferently: "Let him come in." ”

The little yellow gate outside the door shouted loudly in response to the order: "The emperor has a decree, Xuanfang Cunshan Wuqing will see you!"

Not long after, Wuqing walked into the Qinzheng Hall under the leadership of two middle-aged eunuchs.

Sima Dai sat in the hall, squinted his eyes slightly, and looked at Wu Qinglai below, his face was dark, dressed plainly, and he carried a long sword wrapped in rags on his back, he was not an outstanding person in any way, but Sima Dai was by no means a person who judged people by his appearance, and took the lead in speaking: "Wuqing, he is a good Taoist, I want to respect the teacher and hope that you can stick to the heart of the Dao, not turbid or dirty, but why do you want to be rude to my granddaughter?"

Wuqing made a salute first, neither humble nor arrogant: "The master once praised me for sixteen years of practice, cultivated a pure heart, and instructed me to act according to my heart, I fell in love with the princess when I first saw it, everything I said came from the meaning of my heart, and everything I said and did was in line with the way of heaven, earth and man, how could there ever be rude?"

The eyes of Mr. Wu on the side flashed a trace of gloom, this monkey cub dared to speak out against the emperor here, he secretly used the exercises, just waiting for the emperor to speak, he wanted to let this cub who didn't know the height of the sky and the thickness of the earth suffer well.

Unexpectedly, Sima Dai didn't care about Wuqing's confrontation, stroked his gray beard with one hand, and said with a light smile: "It's a person who can speak well, that's good, I won't say anything on the side, just say that my Dajin royal family has an iron rule, and any member of the royal family, whether male or female, is not allowed to practice, you are now in a weak crown, and my precious granddaughter is also in the prime of her life, but it doesn't matter, if thirty or fifty years have passed, you, a person who cultivates immortals, are not afraid, but my granddaughter is already old and yellow, and her face is no longer good, can you still treat her with her original intention?"

Wu Qing smiled and said: "This matter Yi'er, I can ask for the elixir for her, mortals can live for hundreds of years, or I can use the concentric talisman, I will live and die with her." ”

When Mr. Wu heard this, he was also surprised in his heart, there are many cultivators in the rivers and lakes who open the furnace for alchemy, just to become immortals and preach the Tao, and there are indeed many good pills that can prolong life in the world, but it is unheard of to increase life for hundreds of years, this is probably only the legendary elixir will have such an effect. Can this not-so-striking kid in front of him ask for such an elixir? But thinking of his immortal master, it is not impossible. Thinking about the difficulty of destroying demons in Fangcun Mountain, the masters of the world have gone to watch the battle, this Chief Wu was also sent to the scene as a palm seal eunuch in the palace at that time, and the battle scene that destroyed the world is still fresh in his memory, so although he usually doesn't say it, but the Bodhi ancestor of Fang Cun Mountain in his heart is in awe from the bones.

Sima Dai didn't expect this young man to say this, and looking at Wu Changban's reaction on the side, this young man was still telling the truth. This made him a little surprised, as the king of a country, he was actually no stranger to pills, and he had to take a few pills every year to cure his illness and prolong his life. But this is an elixir that can prolong life for hundreds of years...... Sima Dai's heart was hot, but he immediately shook his head self-deprecatingly, and said: "I heard that your master is an immortal, and I think he also has such skills, I don't doubt you, but as the saying goes, 'Since ancient times, the emperor's family has been the most troubled', if you want to tie the knot with Xin'er, you will inevitably be contaminated with the mundane affairs of our imperial family, you have to think about it." ”

It turned out that her name was Xin'er! Wuqing thought of the princess's appearance, and couldn't help but laugh stupidly, and said: "If I really marry the princess forever, I will live as she wishes in the future, and we will not participate in this royal matter alone." ”

Sima Dai sighed: "Where is it so easy! Wuqing, do you know how my Great Jin Dynasty was established?"

Wuqing was stunned: "I really don't know about this, and it seems that few people mention it." ”

Sima Dai got up from the dragon chair, held the imperial book case and said: " More than 500 years ago, the Great Wei Dynasty was first established, the Great Emperor of Wei Wu reigned in the world, suppressed a lifetime, but this Emperor Wu of Wei cultivated the imperial road, although the cultivation is profound, but the temperament is fierce, do things ruthlessly, kill countless in a lifetime, that is, after the establishment of the country, the criminal law is also fierce, countless battles, the people in the world who died for this do not know how many, causing the world to complain, and so on after his death, the world will continue to revolt, and his successor has no his majestic strategy, so the Great Wei Dynasty support is not a hundred years before the collapse of the collapse; This move has been supported by many ordinary people and cultivators, and it is with their support that our Sima family established this Great Jin Dynasty, and has always abided by the oath of our ancestors and not allowed the clan to cultivate immortals. ”

Standing and saying this, Sima Dai loosened his muscles and bones, sat back on the dragon chair, and then said: "However, although my Great Jin Dynasty is now prosperous, it is also hated and coveted by many people, including the descendants of the Great Wei Dynasty. Nowadays, a new faction has emerged on the rivers and lakes, called 'Chaotian Sect', according to secret reports, its exercises are very close to the imperial road of Emperor Wu of Wei, and most of the people in its sect are strangers, and it is thought that it is the descendants of the Great Wei Dynasty who thrive in the great wilderness to create this sect; ”

After Sima Dai finished speaking, he looked at His Royal Highness Wuqing, and said with a smile: "This is just a relic of the previous dynasty, the world is big, there are countless troublesome things, and everything must be done with twelve points of care, governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, neither in a hurry, but also not slack off to deal with, and if you marry my granddaughter, then these things will become your family affairs, your own affairs, this is contrary to the quiet and inactive way of you immortal cultivators, where to go, are you willing to make a choice?"

Wuqing touched his nose and said with a wry smile: "If that's the case, this matter of Chaotian Sect is really my business." ”

Sima Daiqi said: "Why do you say this?"

Wuqing shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "Some time ago, I passed by Mangdang Mountain, and noticed that the emperor corpse of Emperor Wei Wu has been enlightened and cultivated for a long time, and for the livelihood of the world, I broke its underground palace and killed the emperor's corpse.

"Oh?" Sima Dai was very surprised when he heard this answer, "You actually broke the imperial tomb of Emperor Wei Wu? Hahaha! It seems that you have some fate with my Sima family! I think that after the founding of the country, the ancestors also sent a large army to find the tomb of Emperor Wei Wu, but they returned in vain, and I didn't expect to be broken by you today! It is also the will of heaven!"

Wuqing lowered his head and said: "The corpse of Emperor Wei Wu has been enlightened and cultivated, and I have no choice but to do it, but fortunately, there is luck in the underworld to help, and the corpse of the emperor was directly hit by the thunder caused by my palace breaking array, and he was killed without any effort." ”

Sima Dai nodded, and suddenly sighed: "Legend has it that Emperor Wei Wu had a confidant and a favorite general, named Hu Yanpo, who followed him all his life to fight in the south and the north. ”

Wu Qing suddenly said: "I said that there is still a powerful soul in the front hall of the Emperor's Mausoleum, it turns out to be him! Is this Hu Yanpo a good use of a glaive sword? I think the weapon that its spirit conjures up is that one." ”

Sima Dai nodded and sighed: "Speaking of which, Hu Yanpo and the ancestor are still ministers of the same hall, there is some friendship, after he was martyred, the ancestor still lamented that he was hung on him, and he didn't want to end up in this life in a few hundred years!"

Wuqing originally wanted to say that this spirit of Hu Yanpo had been used by himself as the main soul of the Ten Thousand Ghost Banners, but after thinking about it, he couldn't help but say nothing, but just diverted the topic and said: "Your Majesty, I ...... with the princess."

Sima Dai looked at Wuqing and said with a smile: "Although I am a monarch, I am also Xin'er's grandfather, now I have passed this level, but this matter is still up to her father to call the shots, if there is a chance, I will arrange for you to meet once, as for whether it can be done, it depends on you!"
