Xia Muyan took the opportunity of being in charge of Sikong Mansion, and soon gathered a group of vassals in the court, as if he had become a political faction of his own. In less than two months, someone has already forgotten the original Da Sikong, his name is Xue Zhen.

After experiencing the tragic life of his relatives who died overnight and his family fell in the middle of the road, Xue Ning did not have a depressed will. Although Xue Zhen is an honest official, after all, he has been in a high position for many years and has accumulated a lot of family assets, so it will not be difficult for the Xue Mansion to maintain. What's more, Xue Ningyin sealed the earl title and received the salary of the five-grade Chenglang.

"Master, there is a Mei Gongzi outside who asks to see him, saying that he is your classmate and friend. At two o'clock in the morning, the housekeeper of the Xue Mansion ran over and knocked on the door outside the study to report. Xue Ning was only twenty-one years old, and he was originally the "son" of the house, but at this time he had to become a "master". Since the disaster, he has been studying in the hospital on weekdays, and Shuo and Wang have been sitting in the study for four days before and after, avoiding people. is so painstaking and lonely, just to one day be able to fight for the south of the country!

"Mei Gongzi? Could it be Yuanchen? Didn't he go to Anxian?" After listening to the housekeeper's words, Xue Ning guessed that this 'Mei Gongzi' was Mei Yuanchen nine times out of ten, and it was rare to have a little joy, so he ordered: "You personally go and invite him here." Among the twenty-three classmates of Zhizhitang, Xue Ning and Mei Yuanchen are the closest. The two of them are quite similar in life and personality, and they have always talked about each other. Mei Yuanchen went to Anxian and there was no news coming, and Xue Ning was also very worried about him. He also deeply felt the pain of his family being ruined, and he really didn't want Mei Yuanchen to follow in his footsteps.

After learning that Xue Mansion had an accident, Mei Yuanchen's first thought was that Xue Ning might not be able to stand it, and he hurriedly pulled Xia Chengxuan to take care of him. It was only when Xia Chengxuan reminded him that the gangsters might also attack the Mei Mansion, so Mei Yuanchen had no choice but to give up and hurried to Anxian. Since returning to the capital, he has always wanted to come to Xue's mansion to have a look, but he came to ask the mansion to find out that Xue Ning went to the courtyard and was not in the mansion.

Finally waiting for the new day, Mei Yuanchen drove his horse towards Xue's mansion early in the morning. He knew that Xue Ning must have returned to the house the night before.

"Mei Gongzi, since you are a friend of the master's classmates, I will ask you to help persuade you for a while! The master has locked himself in the study day and night, alas, I really feel sorry for him! Don't go wrong!" The old butler limped in front of the left and begged Mei Yuanchen behind him. On the night when the killer of the Turkic Kingdom rushed into Xue's Mansion, he was the first to block in front of Xue Ning, and he was stabbed several times in his thigh and arm and passed out. It was a blessing in disguise, but he left this life. However, in his opinion, the life left behind is not his own but Xue Ning's, and all he wants for the rest of his life is to take care of the young master.

"Well, I'll try to persuade him. Mei Yuanchen replied softly.

Xue's mansion occupies a lot of land, Xue Ning's study is in the depths, and the old housekeeper is inconvenient, so it took half a cup of tea to come from the mansion. Walking into a small courtyard, I saw Xue Ning waiting there.

"Yuanchen, you're here!" Xue Ning chuckled softly. In the past two months, he has only had a little joy today.

Compared with the last time the two met in the hospital prison, Xue Ning had lost a lot of weight. Mei Yuanchen stretched out his hand to support his arm, and called heavily: "Xue Ning!" Although he only called this one, Xue Ning felt nothing when he looked at each other, but smiled slightly, and led Mei Yuanchen into the study.

The two sat opposite each other on the small tea table in the room, and Xue Ning poured Mei Yuanchen a cup of tea.

"Yuanchen, I only know that you went to Anxian, but the rest of the matter is not clear, just tell me. Xue Ning looked at him and whispered. Mei Yuanchen's talent is too outstanding, that is, he has always deliberately hidden his clumsiness, and his master and classmates have long known that he is really the most talented person in Zhizhitang. Xue Ning really wanted to know what he had done in Anxian.

Confidant friendship is important in sincerity. Mei Yuanchen also did not hide it, and told him everything that happened in An Xian. Even those merits that he has made have not shied away.

When Mei Yuanchen talked about those accidents, Xue Ning listened quietly on the side, neither asking questions, nor urging, let alone commenting. After the matter was finished, he began to mutter: "Yuanchen, if I make this military feat, I will never give it to others." "He has a deep blood feud, and there is no hope of revenge on his own. To deal with the Duanmu clan, he must be in charge of power and have a heavy army. However, how can that kind of opportunity to retreat from the enemy and make meritorious contributions be easy to obtain?

"Xue Ning, with your talents, it is not difficult to make meritorious contributions, I believe you will definitely be able to get revenge!" Mei Yuanchen comforted warmly. Xue Ning clenched his teeth and nodded slowly. He knew very well that there would be a big war between the Turkic Kingdom and Dahua, and what he had to do at this time was to accumulate talents and learn and serve the country and kill the enemy in this war. If you repay the kindness of the country, you can repay the family revenge.

Thinking of what the old housekeeper of the Xue Mansion said to him along the way, Mei Yuanchen said to him: "Today is the birthday of the Immortal Emperor, can you go to Zhenwuguan with me to worship God and pray?"

"I... I'm not going. Xue Ning's face was a little embarrassed, and he replied softly.

"Xue Ning, I won't tell you, I still have one more thing to do when I go to Zhenwuguan to worship God. I just told you: When I was in Anham, seven of my brothers and nephews died for me, and today, I went to the teacher to ask for my sin. If you don't go, then I will resign you and go to the True Martial Arts Temple. Some things were shackled before, and don't worry that you can't do it, it's been four days since I came back, and I should have gone to receive the punishment a long time ago. Now that I have seen you and everything else has been explained, I have no worries. Mei Yuanchen whispered, and at the end of his words, his throat was already a little choked. Although several senior brothers of Zhan Tong and Zhan Cheng have been relieved many times, several senior brothers and nephews really died because of him, and Mei Yuanchen has never been able to let go.

"I'll go with you. Xue Ning saw the sadness on Mei Yuanchen's face, and felt really sorry for him in his heart, and couldn't help but reply.

Is there a true God between heaven and earth? No one knows. but there are many who believe.

No one knows that the art of the Dao Gate can lead to immortality, but those who chase the Tao are like Jiang carp.

The god of the main offering of the True Martial Temple is the Emperor Zhenwu, but the second honor of the Hall of Eternal Life is dedicated to the Antarctic Immortals. At this time, the believers who worship God stretch for several miles, from the subjective to the mountain gate. Mei Yuanchen and the others got off their horses at the mountain gate, and then walked up quickly.

"Xue Ning, you go to worship God in a while, and I'll go find my master. When you're done worshipping God, go back by yourself, I... I don't think I can accompany you down the mountain. Mei Yuanchen stopped outside the Hall of Eternal Life. At this time, King Yun's sacrifice to the heavens had been completed, and the Taoists lined up to wait for the incense.

Xue Ning couldn't think of anything to comfort him, nodded his head, and said, "Well, I'll go back by myself after worshipping." Relax your mind!"

Looking at the little Taoist priests who came and went in Guanzhong, Mei Yuanchen couldn't help but think of stopping and bathing them, and the more sad he felt in his heart, he resigned Xue Ning and went to Zhanming's meditation courtyard.

"I was, the scalper next to Lao Jun, who violated the rules of heaven and degraded the mortal world..."A silver-haired Taoist in green clothes was humming a small tune, but suddenly stopped, shook his head and sighed softly: "Alas, idiot!"

The sky was getting dark, and the Taoist pilgrims in the temple had already dispersed, and Zhan Ming had finally cleared up. This busy day, Rao is deep internal strength and has some tiredness. "What? Why did you come to report at this time!" Listening to the report, the little junior brother knelt outside the careful courtyard for most of the day, and Zhan Ming couldn't help but scold.

Zhi Liu looked confused, and said busily: "There have always been guests around the master, disciples, disciples really don't dare to disturb." The disciple is willing to accept the punishment and ask the master to calm his anger. ”

Zhan Ming ignored him and walked quickly towards the Meditation Courtyard.

... ...

"The edict of the Supreme Lord, the lonely soul of Chaoyou. Ghosts and ghosts, four lives are gracious. Those with heads are super, and those without heads are promoted. Kill with a knife, dive with a rope. Death in the open and in secret, unjust death. The creditor is wronged, and he begs for his life. Kneeling in front of the stage, the gossip shines. Standing on the hurdle and coming out, he was born in another place. For men and women, they bear their own responsibility. The rich and the poor are recruited by you. Rescue and others, and rush to overlive. Rescue the others, rush to overkill..."

Mei Yuanchen didn't know how many times he had recited this "Curse of Death", but he never could understand the guilt in his heart. However, although he couldn't solve the guilt in his heart, he still couldn't stop reading it in his mouth. Because Mei Yuanchen didn't know what else he could do besides reciting the "Mantra of the Past Life" to surpass them. He was preoccupied with chanting the incantation, not noticing that a silver-haired old man sat leaning on the pavilion behind him.

"Baiyun Yellow Crane Dao people, a piano, a sword and a cup of tea, feather clothes often have a smoky color, and they do not stain the peach and plum flowers in the world. The world laughs haha, why are you traveling all over the world, you have suffered all the hardships and corrected the way, and you will not stain the peach and plum flowers in the world..."Suddenly the master's voice came, Mei Yuanchen hurriedly turned around to look, but saw a silver-haired Taoist leaning on the pavilion under the starlight, and he didn't feel a pang in his heart.

"Division... Father!" Mei Yuanchen knelt on his side and called softly. Although Qing Xuan had silver hair and white eyebrows at this time, Mei Yuanchen still recognized it at a glance. It's just that I don't know why I haven't seen it for a month and a half, and Master's beard is as white as snow, and his face can't help but be stunned.

Qing Xuan listened to Mei Yuanchen's call, floated down from the pavilion, and stopped in front of him. At this time, Mei Yuanchen could clearly see the master's description, although the color of the beard has changed, the childish face has not changed. Seeing that the corners of the disciple's lips were slightly nu and he was about to ask, Qing Xuan spoke first: "The Daomen does not talk about cause and effect. Their death has nothing to do with you, you don't have to mind so much!"

"Master, I... They really died because of me!" Mei Yuanchen said, thinking to himself: "If they hadn't gone down the mountain with themselves, they would have been happy and safe in the view, where would they be buried in a foreign land?"

"Hmph, if they are only a person who eats and drinks and waits for death, what is the point of them living?" Qing Xuan snorted coldly, obviously disagreeing with Mei Yuanchen's statement. He took two steps, and said with a straight face: "The people in the Daomen are known to be chivalrous, and their death is all righteousness in their hearts, but they are martyred. If you die for the Tao, it is really a blessing in life!"

Seeing that Mei Yuanchen still didn't seem to be clear, Qing Xuan turned to look at him and said coldly, "Do you want to ask me, why do you have to be white?"

Since seeing the master, Mei Yuanchen wanted to ask this, but when he heard Qing Xuan ask, he nodded lightly and said, "Yes, the master will not be white in two months, and the disciple is deeply worried." ”

When Qing Xuan heard this, he laughed loudly: "Hahahaha! How can I be worried! Master is just going back to the sky to cut off the immortal fate from others! The troubled times are coming, and it is the time for us to be martyred!"
