Chapter 6 The Tao is a Mystery

A few meters away, Xu Fenyang's laughter was heard, Xu Qingzhi walked quickly, pushed the door and entered, only to see two people sitting in the living room, and the main seat was sitting on the top of the Jin King Xu Fenyang's big horse golden knife.

Sitting on the left, Dong Zhongying, the king of Lu, is saying something, Dong Zhongying was a good man when he was young, and his arms have the strength of a thousand jun. At the age of eighteen, he stepped into the refining of qi, swept 16 parts of the northern Xinjiang with the banner of the king of Lu's palace, and where he passed, the group of Yi was tied, Dong Zhongying was brutal and easy to kill, and the Yi people suffered for a long time, calling him Dong thief. At the age of thirty, he failed to attack the realm of refining gods, and his muscles and veins were damaged, and he couldn't practice martial arts since then, and then indulged in lustful dogs and horses, and didn't ask about military affairs.

Seeing Xu Qingzhi come in, a smile squeezed out of King Lu's meaty face, "Brother Qingzhi, brother, have you framed my turtle and crane longevity map?"

Xu Qingzhi bowed his hand, found a place to sit down, and called someone to serve tea, "Qingzhi was drunk last night, and when he woke up this morning, he forgot all about last night, and asked King Lu to forgive him." ”

Dong Zhongying was stunned when she heard this, and then laughed, "It's okay, it's okay for the virtuous brother to give it to my brother another day." ”

Xu Fenyang also smiled, "The dog is not strong enough to drink, so I laughed." ”

"Father, why did you hold a banquet yesterday?" Xu Qingzhi was anxious to find out what happened last night, and he didn't have the heart to entangle with King Lu.

After hearing this question, Xu Fenyang was stunned for a moment and replied, "Last night was the Double Ninth Festival ordered by His Majesty personally, so that all the kings held a thousand banquets at home, and invited the old people from all over the country to show the benevolence and filial piety of our great country. ”

"Yes, yesterday my house was busy from morning to afternoon, and people came and went, looking at this king upset. Why didn't Your Majesty take care of it in the palace himself, but let me wait to do this idle thing. King Lu's tone was quite displeased.

"Brother Dong, be cautious, be cautious. Xu Fenyang interrupted King Lu's words, "Your Majesty is also kind, my Heavenly Empire should be able to convince people with virtue, and I can't be like in the past." ”

"Isn't the Chung Yeung Festival the ninth day of the ninth month of September?" Xu Qingzhi felt that the more he listened, the more confused he became.

"There are no festivals on the ninth day of the ninth month of September, and it seems that the virtuous brother is indeed drunk and has not woken up. King Lu laughed, "With the amount of wine of the virtuous brother, he will never be so confused." ”

When Xu Qingzhi heard this, he was struck by lightning, he roughly understood what was happening, Li Daojian, who visited last night, was directly erased by a certain ability for some reason, his identity was arranged on a strange vegetable farmer, and the traces of last night's fight were also arranged as an accidental fire, and the turtle and crane longevity map he drew became made for King Lu, and what is even more terrifying is that the Chongyang Festival on the ninth day of September was postponed to winter. Everything seems to be seamless and reasonable, Xu Fenyang and King Lu in front of them, in the eyes of Xu Qingzhi at this moment, are extremely strange, as if they are two puppets controlled by invisible silk threads, and they have lost their will.

This is not a trivial matter, this is tampering with the memory of the people of the world, heaven and earth are chessboards, all things are chess pieces, what an earth-shattering power, who has such a terrible ability, and what is he doing this, what does Li Daojian and his dream reveal, just talking about it behind closed doors, has caused such consequences.

And the root of all this is that the person who visited last night, I must find him, and only by finding him can I put the memory of the people of the world right. As soon as he thought of this, Xu Qingzhi got up to say goodbye and prepared to go out to find Li Daojian.

Heavy snow for three days, the sky and the clouds and the mountains and water, up and down a white, people and birds are overwhelmed, Xu Qingzhi put on a big red feather veil and a crane in the white fox skin, put on an embroidered gold cotton robe, out of the west of the palace door, yesterday before Li Daojian separated, he clearly remembered that he said that he lived in the west of the city outside the capital next to the Xianju restaurant, Xu Qingzhi was anxious, the wind under his feet, the prosperous scene that he used to think was interesting today seems to be particularly strange, vaguely felt that everyone was looking at himself, he suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and soon came to the door of the house described by Li Daojian himself, this is a remote old house, although not far away is the lively Xianju BuildingBut as if they were two distinct worlds, few people set foot here, and only the howling cold wind wandered around the streets.

The door of the house is closed, it looks particularly desolate in the cold snow, a few bunches of corn that have long been dried up hang at the door, the whole house is filled with a dilapidated and rotten smell, the Spring Festival couplets pasted on the door have been loose, and the word Fu is also crumbling.

The uneasiness in his heart became more and more serious, Xu Qingzhi couldn't care about it, walked to the door, and patted the door extra hard, hoping that there was someone in the house, and there was a faint expectation in his heart, which might be the last clue.

"It's coming, it's coming," I didn't expect it to be a very old voice, I thought it must be Li Daojian's elder, "Who." ”

I heard a squeak, and the door opened, and in the darkness of the room, an old man's face was revealed, and there was no trace of life on the face full of old age spots, and his eyes were cloudy, like an oil lamp that would go out at any time in the wind. "Who are you looking for" The old man didn't seem to have much strength to communicate with Xu Qingzhi, leaned over, held the door frame with his hand, and coughed violently as he spoke, "Are you also here to find Dao Jian, you are the second person today." ”

There are still people looking for him today, but I don't know if this person is looking for Li Daojian in my memory, or the vegetable farmer now. Xu Qingzhi arched his hand and said, "Auntie, I am from the Jin Palace, and I came to him to ask when today's vegetables will be sent to the palace." ”

"What Jin Wangfu, my wife has never taken out food in my family, life is getting more and more difficult, I don't have enough food to eat, how can I have any surplus food to take out, cough cough, it's cold outside, come in first." The old man seemed to be unable to stand the cold and coughed uncontrollably.

It seems that Li Daojian's name has been replaced by others, and I hope to find some traces of him today.

After entering the house, Xu Qingzhi took a closer look, the room was very small, although the furnishings were extremely shabby, but they were cleaned up, and a bronze mirror that looked some years old was placed on the table placed in the center, which looked a little strange, he found a chair and sat down, and the old man trembled and poured him a bowl of hot water, "Come, it's cold, drink a bowl of hot water." ”

Xu Qingzhi took it with both hands, thanked him, and asked, "Maybe I'm mistaken, but I hope that my aunt will tell him where he went, and I can go back to my life." ”

"Dao Jian, he died three years ago. The old man limped around the house, "Be a soldier and die on the battlefield." Saying that I don't know if it evokes sadness, I wiped my tears, "This child has a hard life since he was a child, he has no father and mother, and he depends on me for his life, fortunately, others are diligent and careful, and his life is hard, but there is also some hope, how can I help that a few years ago, the war in the frontier was tight, and the ten Ding Draw was changed to five Ding Draw One, although Dao Jian was weak, but he was still taken to be a soldier. ”

Xu Qingzhi sighed, it seems that Li Daojian was directly erased, and even his name was taken up by others, in this current situation, the memories of all the people involved have been tampered with, and Li Daojian has no whereabouts, he really has no clue. Xu Qingzhi didn't have any hope at this time, but he was curious why someone other than himself would look for him here, "Who came to him before me today?"

The old man lifted the curtain and walked into the inner room, and said slowly, "That person, it's a man wearing a hat, talking about turtles and longevity charts, and what to say about moving with the prince of the Jin Palace, I have never seen such a big man as the King of Jin in my life, and I really can't understand what he is saying." ”

Hearing this, Xu Qingzhi ignited a glimmer of hope again, isn't what this person said exactly what actually happened last night, could it be Li Daojian himself?

Xu Qingzhi saw through the bronze mirror that the old man opened the curtain and walked into the inner room, the old man's words just now made him a little excited, and he was going to wait for the old man to finish asking again, and after waiting for a long time to see the old man come out, when he was about to ask, he suddenly heard a crisp banging sound, louder than the other, he was surprised, stood up and looked around and did not find the source of the sound, when he was wondering, he suddenly looked down and saw that the sound was actually from the mirror.

Xu Qingzhi was very curious, how could the mirror make a sound, reached out and picked it up to investigate, but who knew that after picking up the mirror, the sound immediately stopped, and looked carefully, this mirror is simple in shape, the pattern is complicated, the mirror is not very clear, the person who is reflected is a little distorted, and looked at himself in the mirror for a long time, quite weird, and looked at it for a long time and didn't see a reason, Xu Qingzhi simply didn't pay attention to it, and took a sip of water in the bowl to pass the time, really bored, he raised a glass to himself in the mirror, which was an unintentional move, but who knew that he in the mirror did not raise a glass, but opened his mouth as if he was saying something, This terrifying scene made Xu Qingzhi's hair stand on end, not only because he opened his mouth to speak, but also because he clearly saw himself in the mirror saying "behind" in horror.

Xu Qingzhi froze suddenly, he subconsciously turned his head, only to find that the old man was already standing behind him!
