Chapter 44: Ouyang Jin

Someone kindly said: "Old general, we naturally know that King Yingchuan is unwell, but His Majesty may not know, if the messenger goes back and says something, I am afraid it will cause some misunderstanding."

"Yes, the old general should enter the palace as soon as possible to explain the reason to His Majesty"

"Yes, yes, old general, my son is sick, I'll go first"

"There is still official business, and the subordinate has also resigned"

“......”

For a while, the officials of the entire compound left, and the remaining dozen or so were also submissive, no longer daring to say anything, and eating carefully.

The people on the Blood Shadow Guard's side were all there, and their faces were a little weird, Ouyang Ling said, "I'll go back and tell my father that it's it."

Yan Xintong remembered what Ouyang Ling said to him at the inn at this time, and also thought in her heart: "I didn't expect this to be the result, it seems that I found a time to talk to them, resigned from those positions, and the trouble in the province continued, and I didn't know what happened in the future when I came back."

The banquet slowly dispersed, but Yang Tian drank happily alone, as if what happened just now had not happened at all, he drank too much directly, and was carried back to the room to rest.

After that, Mu Lingxiang took Yang Yan and them to a quiet courtyard, the courtyard was very large, and in the center of the courtyard was a lotus pond, which was full of lotus flowers, and there was a pavilion on the lotus pond.

On the edge of the lotus pond is a stone paved road, and there is a stone bench and stone table on the edge of the lotus pond. There are a lot of flowers and plants planted in the small courtyard, which looks so elegant, and there are more than a dozen houses in the innermost part of the courtyard, side by side.

Mu Lingxiang pulled Yang Yan and said lovingly: "Chen'er, this is the other courtyard where you lived before, after you left, these children lived here, and you will live here in the future, so you can take care of it." In a few days, my mother will also move over and live with you."

"Aunt Xiang, this is not suitable, this is a partial room" Yan Xintong hurriedly said.

"What's not suitable, in my house, I can live wherever I want. I'll take you to see your grandfather in a few days, he's afraid he won't know you're back," Mu Lingxiang said and pulled Yang Yan to start looking at the room.

After that, Mu Ling Xiangzai carefully told Yang Yan about the rules for entering the palace, but Yang Yan didn't seem to listen to it, and didn't remember a word.

Ouyang Ling also helped Yang Yan say a few good words, and then these rules were gone, and Yang Yan and the others also settled down peacefully.

"This small courtyard is really good, it's quiet, I like it," Li Haoyang looked around and said with satisfaction.

"What's the use of what you like, it's not yours" Long Lan replied.

"You don't understand this, right?,I'll go back and build one exactly like this.,It's mine.,It's stupid"

"You...... Do you want to fight," Long Lan said angrily.

"I don't know like a girl, I want to take a look," Li Haoyang said, waved his hand and began to walk around the courtyard.

Ouyang Ling watched the two often bickering, and couldn't help but smile and asked, "Is it my stinky boy who is hated or is this kid hated?"

"Hmph, both of them are the same, both owe it to clean up" Long Lan glanced at Li Haoyang's back and said angrily.

After that, a group of people were relaxing in the small courtyard, Ouyang Ling said goodbye to them, and Long Lan, Long Yu and Huo Linglang also went back. The rest of the people found a quiet place in the small courtyard, basking in the sun, playing chess, practicing martial arts, fishing, and enjoying flowers......

Yang Yan is very uncomfortable with the enthusiasm of the Yang family, and it can also be said that he is very unfamiliar, no matter how the Yang family treats him, Yang Yan always feels that there is something in the way, and there is no feeling that blood is thicker than water.

"Is it a matter of memory?" Every time Yang Yan thought of this, he attributed this feeling to the problem of memory, and he stopped thinking about it.

On the other side, after the messenger went back, he really talked nonsense in front of the emperor, and Ouyang Jin, who was reviewing the chapter, didn't raise his head, but said leisurely: "I know, go down."

The messenger was also puzzled, and wanted to say something with more oil and vinegar, but was stopped by the eunuch on the side with his eyes, and then retreated.

"Why don't you let him continue," Ouyang Jin asked as he criticized the piece.

"Your Majesty, King Yingchuan seems to have really lost his memory, now I'm afraid he only has the thinking of a child, if he continues, the old slave is afraid that His Majesty won't be able to listen to it, and he will cure King Yingchuan's sin, which is not good for His Majesty's reputation."

"You are more thoughtful, and you can see more clearly than the messenger, that not only will I not cure his great disrespect, but I will also decree that he will be pardoned. Purpose"

The eunuch next to him hurriedly brought a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and waited carefully, Ouyang Jin said: "King Yingchuan is not feeling well, I specially sent a century-old ginseng plant, one hundred taels of gold, so that he can recuperate at home, and the king of Yingchuan can not salute in front of anyone."

"Your Majesty, this ......" When the eunuch heard this, he hesitated to write.

"Write it as it is, not a word is wrong," Ouyang Jin said without raising his head. The eunuch slowly put down the pen, and then found the messenger and sent him out.

"You go down, I want to be alone for a while," Ouyang Jin sat in his seat and stretched and said.

After the eunuchs around him were gone, Ouyang Jin went and said, "Come out, what's the matter with looking for me?"

As soon as the words fell, a dark shadow walked out from the shadow of the study, slowly thinking about Ouyang Jin coming, this person was over sixty years old, his body was rickety, his hair was like snow, and his eyes were very clear.

"Three months later, the Lenten Mountain Conference will ask you to find someone with excellent qualifications to attend," the old man said slowly.

"Is that day coming again? I didn't expect twenty years to pass, how many places are there this time?" asked Ouyang Jin.

"There is no limit to the number of people, as long as you touch this, it can make it shine, and I will assist you when the time comes" The old man said and took out a spar the size of a goose egg from his arms, which was very ordinary, but it floated on the palm of the old man's hand.

Ouyang Jin stood up and wanted to touch the spar, but the old man took it back and said, "Twenty years ago, it was still the same, don't think about trying"

Ouyang Jin frowned, and said dissatisfiedly, "I know. Wasn't there only five of them in the past?"

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, just do your own thing, this is the Shou Yuan Dan given to you above, you can increase your Shou Yuan by five years" The old man said, a delicate vial flew out of his arms, and slowly flew in front of Ouyang Jin.

Ouyang Jin took the vial and sniffed it. Then he said leisurely: "The thing you helped me last time was not completed, you better go and see for yourself"

The old man's brows furrowed, a little unhappy, Ouyang Jin continued: "I didn't expect that people like you can still make mistakes."

The old man snorted coldly, turned around and was about to leave, Ouyang Jin continued: "I will make an order, three months later, a martial arts conference will be held in Yunjing, and the world's heroes will be reopened, and you will come when the time comes."

As if he hadn't heard, the old man slowly walked into the shadows and disappeared into the study. Ouyang Jin poured out a green pill in his hand, and then took it down, and the color was much ruddy.

"Someone Coming"

The people outside heard Ouyang Jin's shout and hurriedly ran in, it was the original eunuch, who lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, what do you command?"

"Go and pass the princess to the royal garden to see me"

"Yes," the eunuch agreed, and withdrew.

Ouyang Jin went out, looked at the sky, rubbed his temples, and then walked towards the imperial garden, followed by many maids.

In the palace compound, in a quiet place, lotus flowers can be seen blooming everywhere, and Ouyang Jin is sitting alone in the pavilion feeding the small fish in the pond.

Ouyang Ling walked towards him slowly alone, her demeanor was down-to-earth, dignified and virtuous, and soon she walked to Ouyang Jin's side and stood there, watching him feed the fish there.

"Do you still hate me?" asked Ouyang Jin.

"I can't talk about it, it's all over," Ouyang Ling said without emotion.

"It's normal to hate, I sometimes be cruel to myself, but it's cold in high places, and who knows my hardships. Walk with me" Ouyang Jin said and walked outside the outer courtyard, walking along the edge of the lake, Ouyang Ling followed him all the time.

"He's back, is he okay?" Ouyang Jin asked earlier.

"I can't remember anything, it's a good thing for you."

Ouyang Jin sighed and said slowly, "I know that you have always suspected that his disappearance is related to me, and I don't blame you. How is your mother?"

"Knowing he's back, go and see him"

"If I hadn't been looking for you, I'm afraid you'd have followed. ”

Ouyang Ling was silent, and Ouyang Jin didn't mind, and then said: "I came to you to tell you a story, a story from twenty years ago."

Ouyang Ling was still silent, but Ouyang Jin didn't care, and then said: "This world is actually not what we see now, there is a higher existence, and that existence is the true face of this world."

"I still remember the day your imperial grandfather died, he called me to the bedside alone, I thought that your imperial grandfather would explain to me what important matters of governing the country, but I didn't expect that your imperial grandfather only told me a secret, a big secret."

When Ouyang Jin said this, he turned his head to look at Ouyang Ling and asked, "Do you know that there is a more powerful power than a martial artist in this world, the power above the upper position of the Heavenly Rank?"

Ouyang Ling remembered that Yizhuang met that strange old man, that power was really unprecedented, unheard of, and the entire Yizhuang could be razed to the ground with a single move. But she didn't want to tell the person in front of her about it, so she shook her head.

Ouyang Jin saw Ouyang Ling shaking his head, turned his head, and continued: "There are some special groups of people in many mysterious places in the world, they are above ordinary people, riding the clouds, flying dragons, swimming between heaven and earth, and they can have the power to destroy all things with their gestures."

"In the past, I didn't believe in the existence of such people at all, and after your imperial grandfather told me before he died, I couldn't believe it. It wasn't until that year that they found me, and I saw it with my own eyes, it turns out that your imperial grandfather has never deceived me."

When Ouyang Ling heard this, she couldn't help but ask, "What are they looking for you?"

Ouyang Jin stopped, looked at the lotus flowers in the pond, a little confused, and said slowly: "One night twenty years ago, I was still in the imperial study to review the chapters, and suddenly all the people in the imperial study fainted to the ground, only I was awake, and a figure came out of the shadows."

"I was frightened at the time, thinking it was an assassin, and kept shouting people, but no one in the entire palace responded to me, I thought I was dead, but I didn't know that the person actually didn't mean to hurt me, and looked at me in amazement."

"Later, I learned that they are the people your imperial grandfather told me, they don't participate in mortal affairs, but we, the emperors of the mortal world, want to do things for them, this is the rule set by all dynasties, even the ancestor Emperor Ou Yangming only knew after becoming emperors"

"They came to me that year for only one purpose, and that was to help them find the right person in the Cloud Country, who was qualified to join them and become one of them. And that year, there were only five places"

"I also tried, but unfortunately I couldn't meet their requirements, and then I held the first martial arts conference, summoned all the talented people in the world to come to Yunjing, and offered them a choice. It was an unprecedented, talent-filled year, and there were 10 people on their shortlist."

"And among these ten people is your mother, Luo Chen's mother, you and Luo Chen were only six years old at the time, and the two sisters gave up the right to select for you, and finally someone else made up for it."

"After that, every five years, I will hold a martial arts conference, first, to see how many talents there are in Yunguo, and secondly, to hide people's eyes and ears, and help them select qualified people to become one of them."

When Ouyang Ling heard this, she thought that the last martial arts conference was five years ago, so this time it was this year, and she couldn't help but ask, "This time they found you again?"

Ouyang Jin nodded, and then said slowly: "Actually, they only recruit people once every twenty years, and this is the second time I have recruited people." I'm coming to you today to get you to try."

"Me?"

"Well, haven't you always hated this palace compound and asked for your identity, if you pass the assessment, you can not only get out of here, get rid of your identity, and even transcend this world, and let you swim in the future."

"How many places are there this time?" Ouyang Ling already knew that those people were the same as the strange old man she had met, thinking about the rest of the Blood Shadow Guard, Ouyang Ling asked.

"No limit, this time, how many, how much" looked at Ouyang Ling, and then said: "I know that the Blood Shadow Guard are all talents, you can also let them participate, but you can't tell them the truth, otherwise I won't be able to explain to those people"

"Who the hell are they?" Ouyang Ling's mind was full of the figure of the strange old man at this time, and the words that the strange old man said when he was leaving.

"According to ordinary people, they are those mysterious immortals, calling the wind and rain to scatter beans into soldiers, flying with swords, above the nine heavens, if according to what your imperial grandfather told me before his death, they are cultivators, absorbing the aura of heaven and earth, swallowing the essence of the sun and the moon, surpassing the limits of ordinary people, and becoming immortal beings."

When she heard the end, Ouyang Ling couldn't help but ask, "Immortal?

Ouyang Jin was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "It's true that my face will stay forever, I don't know if I can rejuvenate or not, I don't know until I really set foot on that road." ”

"Okay, I'll go. Are my royal brothers going?"

"Let them all try, they can choose the best, save me a mess, I can't choose, I will ** them again." I know very well what they did, and you don't have to hide it for them, if I guessed correctly, it was the second child's power, but you didn't tell me for a long time. ”

"What can I do if I say it?"

"You still don't believe me, it's just that, you let Tianyou come back, I never blamed him, but he didn't let himself go, what a stupid child" Ouyang Jin said, leaving alone.
