In Wuping County, Suzhou, Ding Qiu sat alone at the door of the broken temple, looking up and just drinking.

But the next moment, the eyelid of the man's right eye shook up and down rapidly

He stood up suddenly, without dragging the mud or water, and raised his hand to his right eye with a heavy punch.

But I still kept shaking.

The man looked up into the distance, and the long figures with a strong aura spread out the day under the night, and all went east from above the clouds.

Like a meteor passing through the sky, it is fleeting.

Ding Qiu rubbed his cheeks and said to himself, "These old guys can't be so diligent when they have nothing to do, could it be that the Dragon Martial Kingdom has broken through the northern border?"

He immediately shook his head and denied himself, "Impossible, impossible, there is that Qing Wuji in the North Formation, and when the sky falls, a fart will come out." ”

The man was a little puzzled, and kept pacing in the room, his face was very irritated.

But in an instant, he remembered something, and the broken temple shook back and forth with a punch, and scolded angrily: "Damn, won't all the "good things" be rushed together!"

He got up and woke up Jiang Huai, who was still drowsy, and picked him up directly, "Don't sleep! ”

The boy coughed twice and came back to his senses, "What's wrong?" ”

Ding Qiu didn't speak, his brows furrowed into twists, and he turned around and dragged the young man out.

The gray-clothed boy grabbed the corner of the young man's clothes, stretched out his two fingers, and twisted and pinched: "I want to be with you." ”

Jiang Huai smiled, but before he could say anything, he was directly dragged off the ground.

Ding Qiu held a young man in one hand and a gray-clothed boy in the other, turned into a long rainbow and rose from the ground, flying far away.

——————

The rickety old man who walked out of the dragon platform walked towards Juxian Academy step by step, and paused when he heard the echoing bell, neither spoke nor looked back, let alone cared about the ink-robed man who didn't know when he was standing behind him.

The old man stopped, and so did the man.

Kong Xin'an was not only impatient, but also slightly interested, and turned around and said, "Your name is Zhou Quan?"

The man in the ink robe folded his hands on his sleeves, without the slightest salute, and his expression was still very calm, "You are Kong Xin'an?"

When the old man heard the disrespectful words, he looked at the man's hippie smile and shook his head, "Do you think that this hand is very clever to enter the game alone, knowing that those rats in the shadows have the courage to put their eyes here, but they dare not eavesdrop on what you and I are talking about, so that others think that I have just left the palace with one foot, and I immediately found you, so as to cause some misunderstandings." ”

The ink-robed man named Zhou Quan didn't say a word, his face was a little proud, and he couldn't stop laughing.

Kong Xin'an flicked his sleeves, and wisps of golden torrents crawled under his feet, and then surged forward like a tide.

Zhou Quan's face was shocked, but he was like a deep swamp, unable to move until he could not retreat, and he was on top of the stone wall behind him.

The old man stood in place and waved his hand slightly, the torrent disappeared by itself, scattered between the heavens and the earth, looked at the man and smiled: "To be honest, your temperament makes me dislike it very much, it seems that you are cautious and informal, but in fact you are allergic and suspicious, more likely to be impulsive, and all the injustice and anger you have suffered all the years are suppressed in your heart." ”

Kong Xin'an shook his head and said to himself: "A pool of stagnant water has stagnated, accumulated for a long time, and there will be a day when it will burst out." “

Zhou Quan leaned against the stone wall, and frowned slightly when he heard the word "stagnant water", but he turned to look calm, spread his hands and smiled: "Sage, now is not a question of whether you choose or not, but whether you choose or not, my brother has neither ambition nor self-motivation, and his weakness is what I have seen in my life, not to mention that I can't even see a figure now, as for my half-brother, he is a drunken flower building, and he can't even practice as a waste, you say, what do they fight for!"

Zhou Quan squinted his eyes, revealing a weird smile that seemed to be a smile but not a smile, "Or do you want someone to plot "bad intentions" with "sanctimoniousness", but don't be sorry for my father who just died." ”

Kong Xin'an's face was as usual, one hand stretched forward, the ring ruler around his waist fluttered into his palm, and then he knocked it forward fiercely.

There was a crisp sound in the air, and a ruler mark stood out on the man's face, and he instantly fell to the ground and rolled around, wailing.

Zhou Quan covered his face, pointed at the old man and said angrily: "You dare to beat me!"

The old man raised his hand again, and knocked down again, and there was another ruler mark on the man's face, and suddenly the wail began again, and the eyes in the silent alley instantly disappeared, and they all stopped looking at it.

Kong Xin'an took a good time, took back the ring ruler and said loudly: "Zhou Quan, go back and tell your mother, it's right to love your son's heart, and it's not wrong to dare to fight, but what you ask for is in the end for me Kong Xin'an, I'm just a teacher, I used to be, and I am now." ”

The man in the ink robe stared at the old man, not knowing whether he was afraid of another ruler mark on his face, or pondering the words just now, but after all, he didn't say a word, turned around and ran out of the alley quickly.

When Kong Xin'an walked to the "Juxian Academy" that was as unique as he remembered, there was a person at the door who seemed to have been waiting for a long time, with a snowy hair and a tired face.

Juxian Academy's envoy - Huang Taihe, is in charge of the entrance and exit of the academy and guards the gate of the courtyard.

This position has always been filled by eunuchs, but when the old Zhou Emperor took office in the previous generation of court masters, in order to eliminate the word surveillance, he directly handed over to the court masters to appoint themselves.

And this Huang Taihe watched those teenagers grow up.

Kong Xin'an walked forward quickly, flicked his clothes, and arched his hand slightly: "Uncle Huang, I made you suffer." ”

The kind old man in a green shirt shook his hand again and again, and his waist bent lower, "I can't help it, I can't help it, you are now a saint of a country, just call Lao Nu Lao Huang." ”

Kong Xin'an helped the old man up, raised his head and took the scene in front of him into his eyes, with a sigh on his face.

It is still the same set of courtyard courtyards as before, the windows are bright and clean, and the ground is not stained with ash.

Kong Xin'an, who has never liked to reveal his heart, now wants to say it loudly, let it go, and listen to it in this small courtyard.

Huang Taihe also kept wiping his eyes, and said softly: "It's all here, it's the same as before, that is, the evergreen trees that you and Ding Qiu planted at the beginning are gone, they are too tall to hide in the yard." ”

Huang Taihe's eyes wandered, recalled something and sighed: "Don't you know that when I secretly cut down those evergreen trees, your husband was distressed, he didn't eat or teach, so he hid in the house and sulked, that didn't make it difficult for Lao Huang and me, I told him that Ding Qiu cut it to change wine and drink, so that kid ignored me for a long time." ”

The old man paused in a gentle voice, pointed to the courtyard and said with a smile: "Look, the saplings just planted a few days ago are green. ”

A Ten Realms Saint could no longer suppress the emotions in his heart, and burst into tears, "Uncle Huang, thank you." ”

The old man wanted to pat the man's shoulder as before, but looking at the white hair and the rickety waist, he was a little overwhelmed for a while, and choked up: "You baby, how can you become like this now, how can you become like this now." ”

Kong Xin'an, who hung the token on his waist, did not answer, but just took a step forward.

This small courtyard suddenly lit up with glazed golden light, and the faint sound of reading kept surrounding the ears.

The Confucian sage, who was stiff and full of white hair, his clothes shook without wind, and his sleeves were full like wisps of spring breeze.

He took another step forward.

The token on his waist trembled, the golden light of the courtyard gradually turned into substance, and the old man had white hair and black hair, and his body continued to rise up.

He didn't stop anymore, and directly stepped through the old courtyard door engraved with "Juxian Academy" in one breath.

At this time, there were no white-haired rickety old men in the courtyard, only a handsome gentleman in white with a spring breeze in his eyes and fluttering sleeves.

With tears on his face, he slowly knelt down under the evergreen trees, choked up, and said, "Sir, I'm back!"

——

A few days later, hundreds of civil and military officials stood in front of the imperial mausoleum in Tai'an City with their heads bowed.

At the front is the orthodox bloodline of the Zhou family wearing filial piety clothes.

The second prince Zhou Quan, the third prince Zhou Xun.

They were followed by Empress Shen and Concubine Su Ruolan.

The white-haired and white-faced old eunuch Zhou Sheng faced the hundred officials and said loudly: "Kneel, kowtow, rise, kowtow again, rise, kowtow three times, rise." ”

Everyone kowtowed three times, their eyebrows furrowed, and they felt sorry for Zhou Kite's death.

The eunuch Zhou Sheng took a step back and said loudly: "The Ministry of Rites is still in the book of the Xuan. ”

Immediately afterwards, a middle-aged man with snow-white temples slowly walked forward, holding a scroll of edict and said aloud: "Chongyang Kingdom 333 years, Emperor Zhou, Zhou Kite, eloquent and strategic, lenient and strict, know the suffering of the people, solve the suffering of the people, and work hard all my life to protect the peace of my Chongyang Kingdom for a hundred years, died when he was a child, at the age of 163, the overflow name "Chengtian Emperor", starting today, all officials can not be slaughtered within 100 days, and they are not allowed to marry within a month, and all temples in Chongyang Kingdom must ring the bell 30,000 times, in order to mourn, the ceremony is completed!"

Immediately after these words, a person cried: "I can't be left without an owner in Chongyang Country for a day, and I also ask Empress Shen to preside over the overall situation and calm the people's hearts." ”

The woman standing in front of her, with a pair of red phoenix eyes and willow eyebrows, leaned over softly and said: "I'm just a woman in the deep palace, how can I know what to stabilize the world, if I don't do a good job, wouldn't it chill the hearts of the ministers." ”

Immediately, another person clasped his hands into fists and said: "What the following officials see, it is better to ask the father-in-law of next Zhou first, the emperor can leave an edict." ”

The Empress Shen narrowed her eyes, "Naturally." ”

Zhou Sheng, a white-haired and white-faced eunuch, took out a roll of golden rice paper from his sleeve and said to everyone: "The first emperor was far-sighted and thoughtful about the people's hearts, so he naturally made a plan for the world. ”

Empress Shen, who had a good appearance, nodded, and said in a low voice: "Father-in-law Zhou, you are old, don't mispronounce a word, you have to focus on state affairs." ”

The second prince, Zhou Quan, clasped his hands on his chest, glanced at the old eunuch, but just snorted coldly and did not speak.

As for the third prince Zhou Xun, he squatted in front of the noble concubine Su Ruolan, hooked her arm with one hand, and clenched his fist tightly with the other hand, using too much force, so that his fingertips pierced into his palm, and a trace of blood flowed out.

Eunuch Zhou Zheng spread out the golden rice paper with both hands and said word by word: "Announce the edict!

"I inherited the unification, it is really a clever destiny, although conscientious and conscientious, it is still fruitless, more than 100 years on the throne, the people are uneasy, the family affairs are uneven, and it is difficult to be ashamed. First there are saints to help, and then there are Confucius to welcome, the heart should be good, only to respect it, specially sealed to protect the country, shoulder to gather the master of the Xian Academy, do not lead the court, the crisis, can be in charge of the hundred texts, hold the tiger talisman, can not be reversed, the prince is in the position, thinking about a thousand things, a son Zhou is good in nature, it is better than loneliness, and it is bound to be bad for governing the country. The second son, Zhou Quan, has excellent qualifications, but he can only sigh before he really remembers the world. The third son, Zhou Xun, is a man of temperament, jealous and hateful, thoughtful, erudite and talented, and will be able to overcome the unification and succeed me to the throne.

"Nonsense!"

Empress Shen took a step forward, her face full of anger, and said again: "In terms of cultivation and knowledge, my second son Zhou Quan is the first class, how can it be that kid's turn." ”

At this time, a tall man walked out in front of him, dressed in treasure armor, and his momentum was so fierce that no one dared to look at him.

The military attache of Chongyang State has not produced the real head of the three armies for more than 100 years, and now the three major generals are the leaders, General Huaiyuan has gone to Longwu Kingdom, and General Tiger Wolf is pressing Jiangzhou to deal with the "Buzhou Mountain".

Dingguo's general name is Shen, the word Jiuxiong, when the uncle of the dynasty, nine feet tall, brave and good at fighting, one hand single fist hit the dragon famous in the government and the opposition, get a nickname "Shen Yiquan", the sky is dark, tens of millions of restraints, I break it with one punch.

Legend has nine heavens once a black-scaled true dragon, no need for any immortal law, no need for any Taoism, only with the body can destroy the mountains and seas, a claw to break the mountains and rivers, the ancient powerful people do not want to do the old Wang Ba who practice qi and nourish qi, and do not want to hold the book every day to read hard, so he opened up a new way of cultivation with the dragon viewing technique, only practice the body, to fight to nourish the war, both feet on the long river, two fists to open ten thousand mountains, the body into iron bones, courage into true meaning, such people call themselves gods and demons to refine the body, one realm to practice skin, two realms to pull bones, three realms of qi and blood, four realms to open the body, five realms to open the pulse, six realms of dragon elephants, seven realms to step on the sky, eight realms of gods！

And that Dingguo general Shen Jiuxiong is not only the youngest of the three generals, but also has reached the Seven Realms of Gods and Demons at the age of less than 100 years old.

Shen Jiuxiong stared at the old eunuch directly, and said in a deep voice: "Father-in-law Zhou, how can I listen to your words and become the prince, I have known the first emperor for a long time, and I should know the handwriting, I want to take a look at the edict in person!"

"Shen Jiuxiong, you are overstepping your authority to seek government!"

Another white-haired old man stepped forward, gently picked up Zhou Xun, who was kneeling on the ground, and arched his hand and said, "Emperor Zhou, mourn." ”

The person who came was the head of the civil officials, the Taishi Zhang Zirui.

Shen Jiuxiong was not timid at all, his hands were behind his back, he was full of momentum, and sneered: "There are Longwu in the north, Xingshen, Wuyuan in the west, and Rou in the west, the war has started, you may choose someone casually, I want to see the edict!"

The old eunuch Zhou Zheng walked towards the new emperor Zhou Xun and arched his hand: "Emperor Zhou, do you agree?" ”

And Zhou Xun, who was wearing filial piety clothes and had a frightened face, choked up so much that he couldn't say a word.

He spends all day drinking, not doing his job, but in fact he is avoiding this matter, just to survive, with him a person who can't practice, he has neither military power nor connections, let alone being watched by anyone, how can he get it...

Zhou Xun shook his head, looked at his mother, and just wanted to speak.

Taishi Zhang Zirui gently hooked his two fingers, his lips opened lightly, and a thick voice immediately came from Zhou Xun Xinhu.

"Zhou Xun, you don't need to be afraid, although it is said that the consequences are borne by the old man for you, if some things are missed, it will really be gone. ”

Zhou Xun gritted his teeth, his forehead was full of beads of sweat, and he mustered all his strength and said, "Show him." ”

The old eunuch nodded, slowly walked up to the man, and handed out the edict.

Shen Jiuxiong didn't make any moves, just glanced at it casually, and as soon as his fingers moved, there was a deafening thunder sound, and a golden silk thread spread out from everyone's feet and firmly pulled his shoulder.

Zhang Zirui smiled: "Have you seen it?"

Shen Jiuxiong glared angrily, shouted angrily, and turned his head away.

Before the old eunuch returned to the hundred officials, he said loudly: "The great position has been decided, worship the new king!"
