Chapter 521: Hearing from the Past
The statement about whether it is an umbrella or a cloud is Chao Fengchen's own opinion, and does not represent the facts.
But since he's a wonderful man, there's something interesting about his opinion.
Chen Sheng was unwilling to accompany Chao Fengchen to fight here, so he went to look for wine alone, and soon disappeared.
The old man came here.
He was full of sword intent, and his whole person was radiant, and it seemed that he was about to break through the morning and dusk and come to the Spring and Autumn Realm.
He has been in Beihai for many years, and he never thought that he would be able to break through the morning and dusk in this life and become a swordsman in the Spring and Autumn Realm.
However, his qualifications are limited, and he is already too old, even if he can have another chance in this life, he will take another step forward from the Spring and Autumn Period, and it is already the end of his stairs, and it is impossible to become a sword immortal in the sea.
He came behind Chao Fengchen, stood quietly, and didn't say anything, over the years, he had been used to doing things instead of thinking about them.
Chao Fengchen knew that he was coming, but he didn't turn his head, he looked at what he wanted to see in the distance, and said calmly: "He's leaving." ”
When he said this, there was no reluctance in Chao Fengchen's eyes, but he was a little disappointed.
There are not many people in this world who can make Chao Fengchen care about it.
The old man faintly felt that Chao Fengchen should be talking about that person, so he asked tentatively, "Is that one?"
Chao Fengchen turned his head and said, "I originally thought that he would be the one who turned the tide, but I never thought that he would still have to come by temperament." ”
"But who can blame him? He has given so much that no one is in a position to say nothing about the choices he has made. ”
At this point, the old man could clearly know that Chao Fengchen was talking about the sword immortal.
The old man thought that two years ago in Baiyu Town, he slashed the sky with a sword towards Qingqiu, and a sword fell into Ye Sheng's demon bowl, releasing the demon earth demon, at that time, the cloud saint had nothing to do about it, how strong Chao Qingqiu's sword path was, it had been revealed a lot before, but it was really at that time, maybe it made many people have an intuitive feeling.
In the final analysis, it's just three words.
Not majeure!
The old man's face was as usual, but he asked very seriously: "The sword immortal that Mr. Chao said is leaving, is he going to open the sky with a sword and be the first person to ascend in the sky in the past six thousand years?"
This should be the normal reaction that all monks will have when they hear that Chao Qingqiu is leaving.
Since the great war 6,000 years ago, the mountains and rivers have been shattered, and in today's world, no monk has been able to ascend for 6,000 years.
In the past 6,000 years, it is not that there have been no people with the highest talents, but those who are proud of the heavens have always been some distance from the last step, and no one can match Chao Qingqiu.
This sword immortal, ascending to the sea was hundreds of years ago, in these hundreds of years, he made extremely fast progress, on the road of cultivation, more than one after another sea, and finally climbed to the peak, there was no one beside him, and several times out of the sword, all of them are invincible spirit.
If it is said that Chao Qingqiu is leaving, it is not a sword to open the sky, what can it be to become an immortal?
Chao Fengchen didn't say it directly, but said: "According to his temper, do you think what you think must be him?"
These words are intriguing, what kind of person is Chao Qingqiu, what does he think, I'm afraid only Chao Fengchen understands something, as the wisp of sword qi in the past, if Chao Fengchen doesn't know Chao Qingqiu, then no one will understand Chao Qingqiu.
If Chao Qingqiu had to leave the world, the old man would be happy to watch Chao Qingqiu's sword open the sky and leave in the envious eyes of all the monks, but he didn't think about it now, but looked at Chao Fengchen and asked worriedly, "Mr. Chao, what about you?"
The old man had always felt that he and Chao Fengchen were friends, but in fact, it was only now that he realized that he had never been his friend, but his student.
Without Chaofeng Chen, it was almost impossible for him to see the Spring and Autumn Realm.
Chao Qingqiu is leaving.
There is another question in front of him, Chao Fengchen is a wisp of sword qi in Chao Qingqiu, when Chao Qingqiu leaves, will it also be the time when he leaves?
In the final analysis, Chao Fengchen is still a wisp of sword qi, and it will be his fate to return to Chao Qingqiu?
Chao Fengchen looked into the distance, his eyes were full of vicissitudes, and he said calmly: "Speaking of fate, it's really not clear, after leaving from Sword Mountain, I thought I was going to dissipate between heaven and earth, but it didn't dissipate, so I understood, he wanted me to live, but in the end, what would he choose?"
"If he really wants to take me with him, it's very upsetting. ”
The old man said sincerely: "Is there anything that Mr. Chao can't let go?"
Chao Fengchen smiled: "He is tired of seeing the world, but I really haven't seen enough of this world." ”
The old man was slightly stunned, "Then let's go again?"
He was really a little sad, because he didn't know when he had started to treat Chao Fengchen as his division commander, and now that the division commander was likely to leave this world, he was naturally a little sad.
"Let's go, but where to go?"
Chao Fengchen's expression was flat, looking into the distance.
In the past days, the old man has walked through many places and done a lot of things with Chao Fengchen, but if you want to say that the place you want to go to the most, it is still Yongning Country, and the pastries of the Hua Concubine Niangniang back then are the places that the old man has thought about the most in recent years.
Chao Fengchen glanced at him, and knew what he was thinking, he thought about it, and then said, "Then go and see." ”
The withered old man was stunned, didn't say anything, just nodded.
The two left from here, walked down the mountain road, walked for a while, and saw Wu Shanhe wearing a moon-white sword shirt under a pavilion halfway up the mountain.
Wu Shanhe is now the head of the Sword Mountain Sect, no matter how you look at it, his status is not low.
But when the old man saw him, he didn't mean to salute at all, he just stopped and watched Chao Fengchen walk into the pavilion, and he always stood on the mountain road.
Chao Fengchen was optimistic about Li Fuyao, and the old man naturally had a good impression of that young man, so he didn't have a good sense of Wu Shanhe.
He stood on the mountain road and watched Chao Fengchen and Wu Shanhe chatted for a while, and then Chao Fengchen returned to the mountain road.
Wu Shanhe stood under the gazebo, standing silent.
Chao Fengchen returned to the mountain path and continued to walk down the mountain, and the withered old man followed behind him, saying nothing.
When he was about to reach the foot of the mountain, Chao Fengchen suddenly asked, "Do you know what he said?"
The old man shook his head, "I don't know. ”
"I don't know. ”
......
......
Yongning Kingdom is in the territory of Liangxi, and Jianshan is in the territory of Dayu, which is very far apart.
But if it's Edgeworth, a swordsman like Chao Fengchen and the Old Man of the Withered, it won't feel that it's too far.
The capital of Yongning Kingdom is called Yongning City, and the imperial palace is built next to Wanshou Temple.
A few years ago, the status of Wanshouguan was revered, but since something happened later, although Wanshouguan is still the state religion of Yongning State, its influence is much worse.
The people gradually understood that the country was still up to the emperor and the lord.
But no one thought that the emperor died last year.
The emperor died, it should be called a death.
After the emperor died, he just looked for a new emperor, it was not a difficult matter, but among the emperor's sons, the eldest was only five years old, and even if he succeeded to the throne, he could not govern himself.
Therefore, the major affairs of the country's government were in charge of the queen mother at the beginning.
At the beginning, the queen mother had to discuss with hundreds of officials, but in the past two years, I don't know why, she has become more and more violent, executing many unsatisfactory ministers one after another, and began to control the government with one hand.
For a time, above the court, everyone was in danger.
Speaking of the queen mother, in fact, she is not very old, when she was still Concubine Hua, she was not favored, and then she didn't know how to get the emperor's favor, and then she became the queen step by step, and after becoming the queen, she was in charge of the harem and kept it in order, and after His Majesty the emperor died, this gradually leaked out of her nature.
In the eyes of the ministers, the queen mother is thinking of being the empress.
If it was in the past, this kind of thing would never have happened, and Wanshouguan would definitely intervene in this kind of thing, but this time I don't know why, Wanshouguan has always ignored it, as if acquiescing.
In this way, even the officials have to endure it.
The entire city of Yongning was shrouded in a cloud of mist.
Pure Heart Temple.
This is where the Queen Mother lives now.
After the morning of this morning, the Queen Mother let a few young and beautiful men enter the Qingxin Palace, and it was not until dusk that people led the men with tired faces to leave.
In the Qingxin Palace, the Queen Mother was served and dressed, came to the window, looked through the window, and was just able to see the eaves in the distance, which was naturally not the palace she lived in back then, but when she looked at the eaves, she would always think of the man in white who always liked to stand at the door and look at the distance.
Although she knew that she would never have a story with him, she couldn't help but think about it, and even dreamed of him often.
It's ridiculous to say that he doesn't even know his name.
Thinking of the man who often looked at the distant eaves in the twilight, her eyes were foggy.
After a while, she took out a picture scroll from somewhere, and looked at it carefully, the picture scroll showed the back of a man in white, the man had a sword hanging from his waist, looking at the eaves in the distance, and with a few strokes, he had already sketched a good picture.
She looked at the picture scroll and sighed.
"What are you sighing about? Now that you are prosperous and rich, and it is said that you are still in power, what is there to sigh?"
A voice rang out behind her.
Like thunder!
She shuddered and turned around, and sure enough, it was still the same two.
One was dressed in white and hung with a sword, and the other was full of white hair.
She hurriedly knelt down and said tremblingly, "I've seen two immortal masters. ”
If it weren't for the wind and dust back then, if it weren't for this withered old man, where would she be able to change from a Chinese concubine to the current queen mother.
She was grateful to them from the bottom of her heart, but she was also afraid of them.
Because they want her to die, it's really a simple thing.
Chao Fengchen looked at the kneeling woman, thinking about what he had seen and heard in Yongning City before, and felt a little, in this world, most people will change, this sentence is not false at all.
The old man didn't think much about it, he just asked, "Do you still know how to make pastries?"
From Concubine Hua to the queen, and then from the queen to the queen mother, it can really change a lot, but the old man doesn't care at all, he just wants to know if she can make pastries.
Concubine Hua raised her head and said softly, "Yes." ”
The old man glanced at Chao Fengchen, and then said, "Let's make some." ”
Concubine Hua nodded, and soon exited the main hall, and came to the imperial dining room in the surprised eyes of the palace maids and eunuchs.
The most powerful woman in the Yongning Kingdom actually started making pastries.
This made no one expect.
Waited an hour.
When Concubine Hua returned to this palace again, she was holding a plate of pastries in her hand.
The old man picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, and unexpectedly found that it was still the taste of the year, he looked at Concubine Hua and couldn't help but praise: "Even if you have thousands of reasons to die, there is such a reason not to die." ”
Chao Fengchen stood in front of the window, looking at the eaves outside the window, but still reached out and took a piece of pastry from the plate.
I ate it like this.
Concubine Hua didn't dare to speak, and she didn't know why Chao Fengchen still came here.
The old man was more interested in those pastries than anything else.
After eating the pastry, Chao Fengchen said calmly, "Let's go." ”
The withered old man nodded, and was about to get up and leave with Chao Fengchen.
Concubine Hua suddenly asked, "Two Immortal Masters...... Don't have anything to say?"
Chao Fengchen didn't speak, if it weren't for the old man who wanted to come and eat Concubine Hua's pastries again, he would not appear here again for almost the rest of his life.
Concubine Hua looked at the two of them and didn't speak, and her heart was a little drumming.
"Two immortal masters, don't blame, what I've done over the years is indeed a bit too much. ”
Concubine Hua lowered her head, thinking about telling all the things she had done over the years, she was not thinking about being killed, but thinking about talking to Chao Fengchen more.
Even if she just said it herself, she just listened to it.
Waving his hand at Fengchen, "How you choose to live, that's your business, life is short, take it for yourself." ”
After saying this, Chao Fengchen left the palace with the withered old man.
From the time he came here, to the time he left here.
It took less than three hours.
Concubine Hua looked at the back of Chao Fengchen leaving, and suddenly shouted hoarsely: "Tell those ministers that this palace will start tomorrow, and you won't ask about the court's political affairs!"
The voice spread far away, making all the eunuchs and palace maids tremble when they heard it!
What's wrong with this queen mother, how long has she been in power, and she is about to retreat bravely?
Chao Fengchen left the palace and walked to the street, without any expression.
The old man ate the pastry and asked vaguely, "Where are we going next?"
Chao Fengchen turned his head and said, "Go see him." ”
