Chapter 2 The Dispute between the North and the South
In many ancient books, there is a description of the "spiritual famine".
In the texts of the cultivation world, the more dedicated term is "the end of the Dharma and the exhaustion".
It's just a very simple natural phenomenon between heaven and earth.
The aura, which is not felt by ordinary people at all, but is a source of power for practitioners, begins to gradually become thinner at a certain time.
Cultivators transform their true essence by absorbing aura, and the aura becomes thinner, and the realm that can be easily reached in the past will become difficult, especially for new cultivators, the more difficult it is to catch up with the previous cultivators.
Not only people, but also those heaven and earth elixirs that would naturally absorb the aura of heaven and earth and could be used to improve the cultivation of cultivators, would also become slow to grow or even die directly due to the lack of aura of heaven and earth.
"In the entire world of cultivators, there are three definite recorded spiritual famines, the shortest being more than 60 years, and the longest being nearly 200 years. Chen Baoyun's heart was not calm, but she learned this exact news very early, and she was this kind of temperament, so her face was still very flat: "According to the comparison of various signs, the most likely thing now is that this spiritual famine we happened to encounter is not short or long, and it is estimated that it will last for about a hundred years."
Lin Yi came back to his senses and smiled bitterly: "Even if it's sixty years, it's the same for us, it's enough to affect our lives, and it doesn't matter how long it is." ”
Chen Baoyun nodded.
The key lies in moving from the south to the north, and the speed of spiritual famine in the south is faster than that in the north.
There are beams in the south.
Emperor Wu of Liang ascended the throne for six years, in all fairness, he can be regarded as a good emperor who works hard, much stronger than the emperors of the previous dynasty, and the prosperous Jiankang City is the epitome of the entire Liang Dynasty.
But there is more than one beam in the world.
There is Wei in the north.
Fifteen years ago, Emperor Wei Xiaowen had already unified the north and moved the capital to Luoyang, like a tiger looking at the south, even if the Liang Dynasty is so prosperous now, it is only holding on to the north and south of Wei.
It can be said that Emperor Wu of Liang was able to successfully mutiny, in addition to the fact that the emperor of the previous dynasty was really mediocre, many reasons were also the pressure of the northern Wei Dynasty to continue to advance southward, and the officials in the court had no confidence in the rule of the emperor of the previous dynasty.
"Going to fight a big battle?" Lin Yi took a deep breath, looked at her quietly, and said.
Chen Baoyun turned his head to look into his eyes and did not speak.
Go without saying.
The north is a tiger and wolf, and in the past, the north invaded the south, but the current situation has forced the south to invade the north.
Lin Yi was stunned for a while, his parents were both in the border army, and because his previous status was too high, it was impossible to obtain an exemption, and he had not even been able to write letters for many years, if it was a big war, he might not have the opportunity to see his parents again.
"It's not just this city, it's not just the people in this city who have changed, it's the whole world that has changed. I'm not going to go to today's alumni meeting, I don't have a good relationship with other people, and it's not interesting to be false with them. Chen Baoyun spoke very directly, just like when she was studying with Lin Yi back then, she was never hypocritical, "I advise you not to go to the classmates' club, firstly, so as not to target you, and secondly, I don't think Xiao Shufei will go either." What is her current status, and what useful relationships can these old classmates bring her? What's more, she is so smart, the more she thinks of her old feelings, the less she will appear in front of you, otherwise if people think that you are half disconnected, it will bring you trouble. ”
Lin Yi smiled bitterly.
Xiao Shufei was the "she" in Chen Baoyun's mouth at the beginning, and she was one of the four people he wanted to see the most.
In the past, when he was in Qiyun Academy, he and Xiao Shufei were the most outstanding in their studies, and their family backgrounds were similar, they were recognized as golden boys and girls, and the two naturally had secret feelings, although they had not yet reached the point of talking about marriage, but if there was no change, I am afraid that both of them would have to be the masters of the family and set for life.
But now it's different, Xiao Shufei's surname is Xiao, Emperor Wu of Liang is her father's brother, her father is now not only a prince, but also the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, her status is no different from a princess.
And after he is a criminal minister, it is no wonder that Chen Baoyun speaks directly, his identity and status are too far away from Xiao Shufei.
"Idle is idle anyway, let's go and see. ”
Of course, Lin Yi understood that she had good intentions, but she still shook her head and didn't hide it, "What's more, my father used to tell me that God abandons but doesn't give up, there is still hope, if even he abandons himself, it is really like a pile of mud, and he can't support the wall." ”
Chen Baoyun was not angry, but laughed.
Lin Yi is indeed the same as before, stubborn, confident, and optimistic, and for her, Lin Yi is very sincere and real, unlike the so-called young talents she has seen, which are so fake.
"Whatever you want, I'm really coming back to see you anyway. She straightened the hair that floated to her forehead in the morning breeze, "There are a lot of preparations arranged at home, and I will leave Jiankang in the afternoon." ”
"Where do you go after you leave?"
"Maybe go to Sizhou, maybe go to Shangyong County, it's not necessarily yet. Chen Baoyun looked at Lin Yi, "Anyway, the further north the better." ”
Lin Yi pondered for a moment and said, "There is one more thing I want to ask you for." ”
Chen Baoyun was very casual, "What's the matter?"
"I want to go into the library of Qiyun Academy again, there are a lot of ancient books about the spiritual wilderness, which may be of some use, but many books from the previous dynasty are classified as banned books, and some forbidden books collected from all over the country are said to have been placed in the library, and in my capacity, I am not allowed to enter and consult them. Lin Yi is also very casual, not like asking for help, because he knows that Chen Baoyun also regards him as a real friend, and he will definitely help if he can do it.
Chen Baoyun really agreed, "It's simple, you can go directly tomorrow, I will arrange someone to wait for you, or you can go after today's classmate meeting." ”
Lin Yi said: "Then I'll go after today's classmates' meeting." ”
"Yes. Chen Baoyun raised her eyebrows slightly, "But I remind you, don't forget to go to Nantianyuan to report in three days, don't be the same as before, read books and forget the time." ”
"You weren't the same then. Lin Yi laughed.
He and Chen Baoyun were both famous bookworms in Qiyun Academy back then, and he didn't have any friendship with Chen Baoyun, but Chen Baoyun was not hypocritical, and he had to speak directly about people and things that he was not used to, and it was easy to give people a look, so Chen Baoyun had a bad reputation among those classmates in the same period, and it was difficult to get close to each other. But once the two of them were in a library to check the classics, and they forgot the time, and stayed together for two days and nights, and other classmates came to find that so much time had passed, and the two also got acquainted.
Later, the two were like-minded and became friends.
"The dynasty has changed, the heavens and the earth have changed, but fortunately you haven't changed. Chen Baoyun also laughed, she slowly turned around, and said softly to take care.
"The further north you go, although the speed at which the aura will disappear is a little slower, the closer it is to the front line, the more dangerous it is, so you have to be careful. Lin Yi knew that she was leaving, and he didn't know what to say, but he had a vague feeling that after this farewell, it would be even more difficult to see Chen Baoyun again.
"Miss, what's so special about him, it's worth asking for a letter of sponsorship and a yellow bud pill for him?" When Chen Baoyun returned to the carriage, there was already a middle-aged female coachman waiting for her, and the female coachman looked at the dilapidated courtyard with puzzled eyes, "And his identity is special, I'm afraid it will bring trouble." ”
"Special?" Chen Baoyun entered the carriage and sat down, and when the curtain fell, a fleeting sentimentality appeared on her face, "It can be said that he didn't lack what those famous children of his classmates lacked back then, and suffered such setbacks and drastic changes, over the years, he didn't need my yellow bud pill to condense into yellow buds, you say he is not special?"
The middle-aged female coachman was stunned.
She didn't say anything more, but as the carriage began to walk, she sighed quietly and said in her heart, "It's a pity." ”
