Volume 2 Mountains and Rivers Chapter 37 Painting the Saint
In the early morning, the capital was peaceful.
Lin Changqing went to the palace early, the emperor was still unconscious, the palace was in chaos, all the palace dependents knelt together outside the Yangxin Palace, the great eunuch Li Zhongyi was so busy that he forgot what happened last night, he saw Lin Changqing from a distance, walked over, made a look, and said in a low voice: "Now like this, Lin Xiang needs to stabilize the ministers of the court, and the affairs in the palace will be handed over to our family to deal with."
When Lin Changqing heard this, he arched his hand and said: "There is Gonggong Lao."
Li Zhongyi turned around and hurried away.
Lin Changqing sighed and said in his heart: If you don't come sooner or later, at this time, the officials and generals of all parties are on annual leave, just like they are missing arms and legs, and they can't do anything.
Zhou Bomin stood outside the palace, his brows furrowed, Lin Changqing walked over slowly, and said in a low voice: "Second Highness."
Zhou Bomin squeezed out a smile and said, "Lin Xiang."
Lin Changqing whispered: "Second Highness, don't worry, with me and Gonggong Li, everything is fine."
Zhou Bomin said: "Lin Xiangguo is unparalleled, my father told me a long time ago, with you, I don't have anything to worry about", he swallowed a sentence in his stomach and never said it.
Lin Changqing nodded and said, "The minister retired first."
After Lin Changqing left, Zhou Bomin looked at the heavy snow, the middle-aged man's body, his shoulders were white, and the residual snow fell on his head, walking in the heavy snow, hurried and calm, as if he was carrying half of the world, and disappeared from vision step by step.
Li Zhongyi quietly walked out of the palace gate, bowed down beside Zhou Bomin, and said in a low voice: "His Royal Highness King Qing."
Zhou Bomin said with a little guilt: "These days, I have to worry my father-in-law to preside over the affairs of the palace."
Li Zhongyi hurriedly said: "Where is it, if Your Highness has anything on your mind, you might as well tell the old slave, even if it can't be solved, you can spit it out."
Zhou Bomin sighed and said: "The eldest brother is still thousands of miles away, and my father is now sick in the palace, I feel that the day has collapsed all of a sudden, alas, ......."
Li Zhongyi said in a low voice: "Isn't there still you."
Zhou Bomin smiled lightly when he heard this: "I?", he shook his head for a while and said: "The rule of the paper is far less than half of my father's emperor, and in terms of martial arts, I am also under the eldest brother, what is the use of me."
Li Zhongyi said to Nunu in the heavy snow: "Then-isn't there still Lin Xiang and the minions?"
Zhou Bomin was stunned for a moment, Li Zhongyi bowed his hand slightly, and left with small steps from the west side of the palace wall, and suddenly, as if he had held up the other half of the day.
Zhou Bomin's brows furrowed slightly, and suddenly he seemed to know something, and suddenly turned to look at Li Zhongyi, the big eunuch in a red robe, like a huge mouse in this palace, rampage.
Slowly raised his head, looked at the four words on the plaque above his head: purple qi came from the east, thought for a while, exhaled a breath of turbidity, and muttered: "I have a countryman, unparalleled in the world", his eyes seemed to shoot a sharp sword, piercing the goose feathers and snow in the palace wall, and saw the eldest brother in the northwest, Zhou Boli.
After the emperor was in a coma for three days, he finally died before dawn.
Zhou Bomin was dressed in white, kneeling in front of the coffin, listening to the familiar voice reading out the emperor's edict, from the time he stood outside the palace gate and saw the four words of purple qi from the east, he already knew what was written on the edict, stared at the coffin in front of him blankly, and suddenly heard the voice of Lin Xiang in his ear: "Your Majesty, take the order."
Suddenly, he shuddered, stretched out his hand to take the holy decree from the hand of the great eunuch, got up, turned around, and his eyes were already a hundred years of the Liyang Dynasty.
"The new emperor ascends the throne, and the country name is Yuanqing ......"
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live......"
The sound soared into the sky, like a thunderclap, exploding the nine realms and thirty-six counties in the world.
The Northwest has turned the sky upside down.
Zhou Boli's general expression penetrated the vast yellow sand, and when he saw Zhou Bomin's appearance at himself, the two brothers were silent for a long time, and in an instant, the world left.
"Your Highness, all the soldiers and horses have received the news, there are more than 5,000 soldiers and horses in the world, more than 200 generals, more than 1,000 strategists, everything is ready, only the east wind is owed."
Zhou Boli looked at General Shi Yuchun in front of him, then looked at the thick stack of names in his hand, and said in a low voice: "Where is this east wind?" It's like asking others, and it's like asking yourself.
Suddenly, a shout sounded in his ears: "Weichen Cao Zihao, willing to be the east wind!"
There was a vast expanse in front of him, and everywhere his eyes swept, it was all pale and yellow.
Li Jingyun opened the kettle, handed it to Zhou Chuji, and said, "Do you drink?"
Zhou Chuji said in a low voice: "I'm not thirsty."
Li Jingyun drank a few sips, but was snatched away by Zhou Chuji, and sighed slightly in his heart: Aren't you thirsty?
Zhou Chuji drank the water and got up on the road.
Li Jingyun said: "I don't know how far away it is from the place where there are people, Cao Xianshi is really right, there are no cars and horses for you and me to go on the road, and I don't know where to go at this time."
Zhou Chuji didn't say a word, just raised his head and walked.
I heard a voice in my ear again: "I knew that I would go to Nanshan Road to find a carriage first, and if I go on like this, I don't know when I will go."
Zhou Chuji was very annoyed and said, "Can you not speak."
Li Jingyun was startled and said in a low voice: "Oh."
The weather suddenly became cold, yellow smoke rolled up on the ground, and the wind rose.
Zhou Chuji looked up at the sky and said in a low voice: "It should be raining."
Li Jingyun looked left and right, but couldn't find a place to shelter from the rain.
I heard Zhou Chuji say: "We have to find a place to shelter from the rain as soon as possible."
Li Jingyun scratched his head, not knowing where to look.
"It's a pity that I didn't bring the piano with me when I came out, otherwise I could have used the Tianyin technique to check what was around me."
I couldn't hear Li Jingyun talking, so I frowned and turned around and said, "Are you talking?"
Li Jingyun was stunned for a moment and muttered, "Didn't you let me speak?"
Zhou Chuji was stunned for a moment, his teeth itched with hatred, and he reached out to twist Li Jingyun, and Li Jingyun shouted in pain: "I'll go and I'll find it."
Zhou Chuji retracted his hand and said, "Go and come back quickly."
"Then I don't know where to look."
When Zhou Chuji heard this, he stretched out his hand again, and Li Jingyun hurriedly jumped a few steps to the side to avoid her trick.
The two walked and stopped, and suddenly saw a small courtyard in front of them, rubbed their eyes, Li Jingyun was overjoyed and said: "Hey, there are people, there are people, let's go and hide, and wait for the rain to pass before leaving."
As he spoke, he immediately cheered up and walked in front of Zhou Chuji, and in a blink of an eye, the two pulled down a distance.
Suddenly, I couldn't hear the footsteps behind me, and when I looked back, Zhou Chuji was standing in place with his eyes rolled.
I had to turn around, carry Zhou Chuji on my back, and walk all the way to the distant yard.
Zhou Chuji said: "I really don't understand, what kind of woman you are talking about is in love with you."
Li Jingyun groaned and said, "Maybe she is the same as Cao Xianshi, because I am stupid."
"Be honest because you're honest".
"Oh"
After walking a little way, the house was close in front of me.
A light rain fell from the sky, hitting a spot of mud on the body. Li Jingyun spread the girl and ran into the yard, and when he arrived under the eaves, it was already raining heavily.
The courtyard wall is made of loess tamping, and a layer of firewood and grass and soil is pasted on the outside, and the same is true for the walls of the house, this form of house is not common in the Qingming Mountain generation, but it is mostly this kind of house in Lishan in the northwest, but the roof is the same as most of the houses in the south, repaired with tiles, presumably living here for a long time.
Hearing the sound, a middle-aged man came out of the house, holding a scroll in his hand, groaning, seeing the two people in front of him, he seemed to be taken aback, put down the book in his hand, and arched his hand: "The two of you are here to take shelter from the rain?"
Li Jingyun hurriedly said: "Exactly, the two of us have been walking for several days, this place is so big, no one can see it, it is raining again, I happened to see Mr.'s yard, so I wanted to take shelter from the rain."
The middle-aged man invited the two of them, served tea to the two, and looked at Zhou Chuji twice.
Li Jinyun drank some water, scratched his head and said: "Sir, may I ask if there is anything to eat, we didn't bring dry food when we came out, and today we hunt some birds every day, but we can't eat enough, and we have been hungry for a few days."
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and laughed: "Yes, yes, wait a minute."
Turn around and go out to get something.
Zhou Chuji frowned slightly and said, "Don't you think it's strange?"
When Li Jingyun heard this, he said, "Ah, what is strange?"
Zhou Chuji said: "It's desolate here, you can't even see a ghost, but there is a courtyard at this time, isn't it strange?"
As he finished speaking, the middle-aged man walked into the room with some steamed buns and said: "It happened suddenly, I didn't have time to prepare food, only some steamed buns, I hope the two of you don't dislike it."
Li Jingyun picked up one and ate it, and said: "Don't dislike it, don't dislike it, just eat it", muttered when he ate, Zhou Chuji saw this, and also reached out to pick up one, but he didn't eat much.
The middle-aged man said, "I don't know where you two came from and where are you going?"
Li Jingyun said: "We start from ......."
Zhou Chuji hurriedly said: "The two of us are from the mountains, and we want to go to the nearest county here to buy something and come back."
The middle-aged man smiled when he heard this: "You don't have to hide it from me, I am the painter Wu Daozi, I must have heard a little about it, and when I came in, I saw that there were two qi on the two of them, and I was a little curious, so I asked."
Zhou Chuji was taken aback, she hadn't heard of the painter Wu Daozi, but she had heard of the painting saint Wu Daozi.
Busy said: "It turned out to be the most holy senior, and the younger generation is polite."
Li Jingyun was stunned, and the steamed bun in his mouth had not yet been swallowed: "What kind of painter paints the saint, why don't I know."
Wu Daozi laughed and said: "It's good if you don't know, it's not good if you don't know, it's not good to talk if you know."
Li Jingyun swallowed the food in his mouth and said: "My name is Li Jingyun, a bad person in Nanshan Road, who was entrusted by Master Cao to send Miss Zhou home." After speaking, he looked at Wu Daozi and took another bite.
Zhou Chuji said: "The younger generation Zhou Chuji has seen the most holy."
Wu Daozi said with a smile: "It turned out to be the young lady of the Zhou family, no wonder there is a royal spirit on her body, but this little friend can't see what kind of anger it is, he only thinks that he has seen it", he shook his head for a while.
Li Jingyun sniffed his body and said, "I haven't taken a bath for a long time, and it does smell."
Wu Daozi said with a smile: "It's not that gas, I think Xiaoyou has the image of heaven and man, but it seems like the first opening of the avenue."
Li Jingyun shook his head and said, "Then I don't know."
Wu Daozi asked: "I don't know where Xiaoyou is taught."
Li Jingyun shook his head, swallowed the food in his mouth, and said, "My father-in-law taught me some swordsmanship, and Brother Huang taught me some swordsmanship, but other than that, there is no more."
Wu Daozi was stunned in his heart, and suddenly realized: "It turned out to be a person on the big lawn, this is not surprising, when the Tao was first revealed, the three mountains and five mountains, the four major sects, the Demon Venerable Sword Immortal, and the lower four Dao Ox Ears all have the merit of supporting the sky, and they have made a contribution in the next place, no wonder the two of you can see the courtyard in this wasteland, it turns out that there is a blessed fate."
Zhou Chuji heard it in a fog, and Li Jingyun said: "Brother Huang said that there is a chance to count a copy, and it is all written in the merit book, and if you meet it one day, it will be fate, and all the previous ones must be counted in it, I am too stupid to understand what it means."
Wu Daozi heard the words and said: "Yes, the way of heaven is vast, there is a fixed number, and it is a blessing for us to see the beginning of the avenue, but there is not a sum of money, it is all counted in the account, if you are born for a few decades in the next night, how can you see this feat of opening the heavens and creating the Dao with your own eyes."
He also said: "Since the two of you passed by me to enter the dream fast, why don't you live here for ten days and half a month, and discuss the road of the world with you?"
Li Jingyun thought for a while and said: "No, we still have a long way to go, and if we go late, I'm afraid that Cao Xianshi will blame us."
Wu Daozi said: "All opportunities are determined by heaven, since you are unwilling, you can't force it."
looked at Zhou Chuji again, suddenly frowned, pinched and calculated, and sighed softly for a moment: "Alas, what should come is always coming, I hope the world is safe......"
He said in a low voice: "In the next hundred years, the martial arts people in the world, if there is a point of heat, they will emit a point of light, one is counted as one, no one can run, and they have lived in seclusion for decades, I thought that I could avoid this cause and effect, but I didn't expect it to be able to dodge it......"
Then he looked at Zhou Chuji and said, "Miss Zhou will come with me."
