Chapter Seventy-Five: The Beginning of Man (Sorry for Being Late, 6,000 Words)

Zhang Wei only followed Jiang Lili and his party for about seven or eight days before parting ways, saying that he still had important things to do. Jiang Lili didn't ask Zhang Wei much about what the so-called "important matter" was, and Zhang Wei didn't ask Jiang Lili why he wanted to go to the underworld, he just told Jiang Lili that it was very dangerous to go to the underworld, especially with Cheng Ru is useless-stirring stick beside him, so he must be more careful.

Cheng Ru didn't refute Zhang Wei's words very abnormally, just squatted and counted the days he left Qionghu City, and waited until Zhang Wei drank a sip of strong wine and left in a dashing manner before raising his head, only asking where should we go now?

Jiang Lili turned his head to look at the Yin Envoy, and the Yin Envoy immediately pointed in a direction angrily.

"Really?" Jiang Lili was a little suspicious, "If you dare to lie to me, beware that I won't give you good fruit to eat!"

The Yin Envoy snorted, "Why am I lying to you? You are in a hurry to go to the underworld, and I am still in a hurry to see my city lord!"

Jiang Lili snorted coldly at this time, and instructed the Yin envoy to get into the carriage and rush to the place where he was pointing.

I went on for a month, and now it's the height of summer. The carriage had just left Korea more than a hundred miles away, stopped at a small stream with a pleasant view, sat down on the ground through the shade of the lush trees, and glanced at the dazzling sun through the gap between the leaves, and complained loudly, "When is your fucking day going to be a head!"

In the end, Cheng Ru turned his head to Jiang Lili and asked, "Where have we been, and how long will it take to reach the underworld?"

Jiang Lili was originally holding water by the stream to eat, but after hearing Cheng Ru's question, she replied with a smile: "Didn't you always want to go to the ghostly underworld?

After taking a sip of the clear stream water, Jiang Lili said again: "You're not afraid of death?"

Cheng Ru pursed his lips, "That's not what I said, I will be careful to follow you in the underworld and not end up with a tragic death, now that you look up at the high sun, I always feel that it is better to be scared to death by a ghost than to die by heat." ”

Jiang Lili laughed and scolded as timid as a mouse.

Cheng Ru let Jiang Lili scold him, lying on the ground weakly and sticking out his tongue and panting, as if he felt that he was still bored and panicked, after looking left and right to make sure that there were no others around, he took off the small felt hat on his head, and used it as a fan to fan the wind on his head, and asked lazily: "Where are we now?"

"As early as ten days ago, we left the border of South Korea, and now we are walking in the southwest direction, and we have already entered the border of Chu State. Jiang Lili sat by the stream and scrubbed the tiger knife while casually replying.

Cheng Ru suddenly remembered something, and sat up in shock, "Southwest, didn't you say that you had to go to Jiang Country to enter the underworld?" ”

After hearing Cheng Ru's words, Jiang Lili raised his eyebrows, ran to Cheng Ru is side and stared at the map, frowning slightly, "Originally, I planned to go to Jiang Country, but the Yin envoy said that we should go to the southwest on this trip." Since he came from the underworld, he should not be in the wrong direction. Yao Qinghe, who told me that he was going to Jiang Country in the underworld, was mistaken. ”

Jiang Lili didn't even believe what he said, and the two stared at each other for a long time before they turned their heads to look at the Yin envoy sitting in the back of the car.

The Yin envoy was a little absent-minded, and didn't pay much attention to the conversation between Jiang Lili and Cheng Ru, and was stunned after casually turning his head to look at the eyes of the two, "What are you looking at me?

Jiang Lili picked up the map, took out the Tiger Spirit Knife and held it in his hand, walked in front of the Yin Envoy, and threw the map in his face with hatred, "You'd better explain it to me!"

The Yin envoy didn't know why, but where did he get this kind of anger, and he immediately exploded, "What explanation, what explanation?

Jiang Lili snorted coldly, and used the tip of the tiger sword to draw his own trajectory on the map, "Why did you go to the southwest?"

"Isn't the southwest going to the underworld? isn't the southwest the direction of going to the underworld?!"

"Do you still dare to be sloppy in front of me? Do you think I don't know, but the place to go to the underworld is in Jiang Country!"

The Yin envoy was stunned, "Oh, you said Jiang Guo, that place is indeed a place to enter the underworld, it is a bottomless cliff, famous as the abyss." Roughly dozens of miles south of Jiang Guo, there is a passage under this cliff, and you can enter the underworld through this passage. However, above this abyss lies a city, with a white name, dedicated to containing the ghosts and ghosts who want to enter the underworld by following the inception of the underworld, and sending them into the underworld. However, this White Fall City is also like a guard, and no ghosts are allowed to come out of the underworld. And this city lord is a great master of such a realm, and I have smuggled out of the underworld, where do I dare to enter the underworld from that place? Maybe as soon as I entered the white city, ten miles away, I was directly ingested into the city by the power of the heavens, and then I was either scattered or hopeless to see the light of day!"

"Really?" Cheng Ru leaned over, half-convinced.

"Really, really!" the Yin envoy was slightly impatient, "What did the Yin envoy do to lie to you!"

Jiang Lili's knife tip slowly touched the ground, "In that case, where do you say there is a place to the southwest where you can enter the underworld?"

"There is a stream in the southwest, called Emerald Stream, which is hidden in the miasma jungle, and it is a dead place that is difficult for the living to enter! ”

At this time, the Yin Envoy's words were much lighter, and he seemed a little meaningful, "This place was discovered when I was a little ghost who cultivated in the third mountain, and no one has been able to find it until now! ”

Jiang Lili has never liked others to show off in front of him, so he bluntly interrupted the words of the Yin envoy, "It's done, there's nothing to say, and Lao Tzu doesn't want to hear it! If you tell the truth, that's fine, if it's a lie, don't blame me for being polite!"

Before the Yin Envoy could speak, the words were stuck in his throat, and his face was a little unhappy.

"What? Do you still dare to look at me?" Jiang Lili glanced at the Yin Envoy, and with the strength of his hand, half of the body of the Tiger Spirit Knife sank into the dirt.

The Yin envoy took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and his face changed for a while, "Cheng Cheng Cheng, Lao Tzu doesn't dare to do it!"

Cheng Ru has always been stingy

Doing such a bully thing, holding his hands on his chest, he also followed the appearance of Jiang Lili and glanced at the Yin envoy with his spare eyes, and shouted: "You ghost, why didn't you tell me about this earlier?

The Yin envoy glared at him.

Cheng Ru was frightened by the fierce light in the eyes of the Yin Envoy, and after involuntarily taking two steps back, he seemed to feel that he was a little disgraced, so he fought again, "You still dare to stare at Lao Tzu? Don't you know how powerful Lao Tzu is?"

The Yin envoy was about to show Cheng Ru some color, so he saw Jiang Lili holding a round bead in his hand and raised his eyebrows at him, and immediately swallowed this breath!

Zhang Wei left the day when the Yin Envoy thought that he could finally be freed, he was originally afraid of Zhang Wei's ascension to the Xuan Realm, and the strength of the Demon Exterminator Taoist had been tied to Jiang Lili's side in a different way. As soon as Zhang Wei left, even if he was afraid that Zhang Wei would kill a horse gun and did not dare to make a move on Jiang Lili and Cheng Ru, at least it would not be a problem to slip away. He didn't think that a martial artist of the Fourth Mountain and a monk who could only read would be able to stop his ghost cultivator in the Dragon Elephant Realm!

But who would have expected that that day, Zhang Wei beat him violently without any warning at all, and then he didn't know how to use that technique to remove a trace of innate yin qi from the foundation of the yin envoy!

Historically, if a martial artist wants to enter the Dragon Elephant Realm from the Fourth Mountain, he has to cultivate a trace of innate true qi. If a Qi Refiner wants to enter the Dragon Elephant Realm, he must cultivate a trace of innate aura. For ghost cultivators, the innate yin qi is also the key for ghost cultivators to enter the dragon elephant realm.

Now the wisps of innate yin qi here were taken out by Zhang Wei, and they were put into a bead by him, and they were handed over to Jiang Lili. This means that the fate of the Yin Envoy has been controlled by Jiang Lili.

If Jiang Lili crushed this bead and allowed this wisp of innate yin qi to dissipate, then the realm of the yin envoy would definitely fall to the fourth mountain, or even be unable to advance an inch in his life!

At that time, the Yin Envoy only felt five thunderbolts, and after looking at Jiang Lili's sinister smile, he suddenly felt that his future was dark. After getting Jiang Lili's promise that he would return this wisp of innate yin qi to him after he arrived in the underworld, his mood was much better, but he still felt a little relieved.

After all, where will you be at ease if you leave your fate in the hands of others?

It's just that the Yin Envoy has been thinking about what kind of means Zhang Wei used to take out this wisp of innate Yin Qi that he had heavily fortified from his foundation when he first entered the realm of Ascension Realm, and made him unharmed. In fact, even the Daoists of the Divine Power Realm did not dare to guarantee that they would be foolproof. And this is also an important reason why he is jealous of Zhang Wei.

As for Jiang Lili, in fact, he tends to ask Zhang Wei to knock the Yin Envoy down to the realm, and then receive it into the ghost raising bag. But Zhang Wei refused, he had already learned from Wu Zhou's mouth about the ghost mother's rebellion against Jiang Lili, for fear that this envoy was not a master who was content with the status quo, so he didn't dare to act like this. Another key is that the Yin Envoy was originally a subordinate of the Ghost King City, and if Jiang Lili was raised by the ghosts, it was difficult to guarantee that he would not be discovered by the city lord of the Ghost King City, and he was afraid that it would cause a lot of trouble at that time.

If you can be careful, why do you have to give birth to another branch?

At this time, Cheng Ru became more and more arrogant after seeing that Yin was in trouble, his hands were on his waist, and Hao Ran looked like a villain, "Nuo Nuonuo, why are you cowardly? Could it be that the ghosts in the underworld are as spineless as you?"

The Yin Envoy gritted his teeth, silently remembered Cheng Ru's face in his heart, and only waited for him to give him a good look after he recovered his innate Yin Qi in the underworld!

You see, among the waves of people who embarrass themselves, it is always easy for him to hate the weakest one, but instead he is "generous and tolerant" to the mastermind.

The envoy replied coldly, "Is there anything else?" I have told you everything, but there is no such thing as you being able to pick a bone from an egg!"

Cheng Ru pondered for a long time, and thought that he had thought of a good reason, so he shouted confidently: "Something, come, come, you come and tell me, why did we only come here after walking for a month? Could it be that you were lazy when you were driving the carriage? This is why the horses did not try their best to hurry?"

The Yin Envoy finally couldn't help it, he jumped up, pointed at his face with great grievance and shouted: "Blame me? Do you think I don't want to quickly return to the Netherworld to take back my innate Yin Qi? Do you think I don't want to hurry back to my Ghost King City to be a Yin Envoy and be willing to suffer under the hands of the two of you?! If it weren't for you, I would have returned to the Netherworld by now, how could I stay in this Yang World for so long?"

After hearing the Yin envoy's words, Cheng Ru felt that he was not a little too much, so he smiled, still holding on to his "majesty" and asked, "But if you have been driving the carriage with peace of mind, why did it take us so long to just get here?"

The Yin Envoy flicked his sleeves, snorted coldly, glanced at Jiang Lili and said, "It's not because of him? Now that the weather is hot, you two have to take a break in the cold at noon." I can also understand this, human nature, understandable. But he has to practice the sword technique all morning every day, and he only travels for a few hours throughout the day, don't you think that he will be able to leap to the underworld just by relying on this time?"

Cheng Ru smacked his lips, thinking about it, he felt that he really couldn't blame the Yin Envoy for this. He hesitated and was about to persuade Jiang Lili to say two sentences, but he saw Jiang Lili leave a back, "Where did you get so many words?

Cheng Ru glanced at the Yin envoy and shrugged, "Don't blame me anyway." ”

The waves set off among the three kingdoms of Southern Korea, Chen Guo, and Later Liang finally gradually fell silent in the mouths of talented scholars from all walks of life in the Great Sui, and finally became only a conversation after the helplessness of the drunkards and tea customers who really had no ink in their stomachs.

At this moment, the early dynasty of Cheng'an of the Great Sui Dynasty had just ended, and the military generals of Wenchen walked out of the court in twos and threes, leaving only Yao Qinghe standing beside Emperor Wen of Sui like a golden pine.

Emperor Wen of Sui breathed a sigh of relief, which also meant a sigh of relief in his heart, "Mr. is really talented, after a few dangerous moves by Mr., I Dasui is as strong and growing as ten years ago." ”

Although outsiders respectfully call Yao Qinghe a national scholar or a national teacher, in private, Emperor Wen of Sui still refers to Yao Qinghe as a gentleman.

Yao Qinghe just smiled, "Any kind of calculation is inseparable from the support of a Ming Jun, even if there is no contemptible, the Great Sui will still be thriving under the leadership of His Majesty." ”

Emperor Wen of Sui laughed, "I only want to be Mr. today, these words are sincere, and Emperor I'm told by my grandfather to think about it tomorrow!"

"That's very good. ”

The court hall has long been empty, except for Yao Qinghe and Emperor Wen of Sui, there is only one old eunuch left to serve on the side

, the laughter of the two was particularly loud in this court.

After talking about it, Emperor Wen of Sui smiled and said, "I am in a good mood today, and I will bring a pot of good wine to drink with Mr. later!" At the end, Emperor Wen of Sui squinted slightly, "Mr. should not refute my face today!"

Yao Qinghe smiled bitterly, shook his head, and then saluted respectfully to Emperor Wen of Sui, "Your Majesty has been overworked these days, so let's go back to the palace to rest first." ”

After hearing this, Emperor Wen of Sui was actually happy, turned his head to look at the old eunuch, and pointed at Yao Qinghe: "Look at him, or don't give me any steps down, this person... Hey!"

Before the old eunuch could reply, Emperor Wen of Sui slowly stood up from the dragon chair and exhaled, "That's it, let's go with you today." But I warn you that if I refuse to drink with you the next time, I will kill you!"

"Thank you Your Majesty for your understanding! Long live my emperor!"

Emperor Wen of Sui slowly walked away with the support of the old eunuch, and only after his figure disappeared around the corner did Yao Qinghe stand up straight, turn around and walk towards the Jingwei Pavilion in his courtyard.

The garden in the palace is magnificent, compared with the Jiangnan garden in Suzhou, it is less delicate and gentle, but more magnificent and majestic. Both have their own merits, and each provokes Yao Qinghe repeatedly.

After lingering in the palace for a long time, it was already noon when Yao Qinghe finally returned to Jingwei Pavilion.

The noon sun is really hot, and the palace with little green shade is like a steamer, steaming, and the greenery of the Jingwei Pavilion seems to have become a piece of paradise in the palace.

As soon as he passed through a winding corridor, Yao Qinghe heard a hearty laugh, and without thinking about it, this laughter came from the mouth of Su Yangqiu, the sixth prince of the Great Sui.

Perhaps because the weather is getting hotter and hotter, Su Yangqiu, the sixth prince, has recently been very fond of going to this Jingwei Pavilion to read and practice calligraphy.

Although this matter is a little irregular, Su Yangqiu is Emperor Wen of Sui's favorite prince. Therefore, although this matter will definitely reach the ears of Emperor Wen of Sui from the mouth of the old eunuch, Emperor Wen of Sui has not clearly expressed his position, that is, he acquiesces.

Emperor Wen of Sui should hope that Su Yangqiu can learn things by Yao Qinghe's side through this reason, if he can be lucky enough to enter Yao Qinghe's eyes and become a student of Yao Qinghe, it will be great!

Sure enough, after Yao Qinghe put aside a piece of banana leaf, he heard a greeting, "I've seen Yao Guoshi." ”

"I've seen His Royal Highness. ”

Yao Qinghe never has no rules.

After saying hello, Su Yangqiu sat down on the steps of the pavilion again, and on the stone table in the center of the pavilion, there was a girl with bright teeth.

Instin.

Su Su had an obscure ancient book in front of her, and judging from Su Su's frowning brows, she shouldn't have understood what was written in this book.

Yao Qinghe didn't ask Su Su first, but said to Su Yangqiu: "Your Highness, now is the time for dinner, if Your Highness doesn't go back, maybe you will be scolded." ”

Su Yangqiu was a little hesitant, judging from his expression, he didn't really want to leave this Jingwei Pavilion. After a while, Su Yangqiu saluted Yao Qinghe, "What the national priest said is very true, and it's time to go back." ”

After walking a few steps, Su Yangqiu suddenly turned around and asked, "That... Can Your Highness come again in the afternoon?"

Yao Qinghe just laughed, and Su Yangqiu was a little disappointed.

Only then did Yao Qinghe bend down and pull out the book in front of Su Su, "Oh?

Yao Qinghe didn't ask Su Su if he could understand it.

Su Su was startled by Yao Qinghe's sudden movements, raised her head and saw Yao Qinghe's spring-like face, and then quickly stood up and said hello, and then replied: "I don't understand." ”

Yao Qinghe was slightly surprised, "Why are you so upright now?" Originally, when I asked you if you could read it, you replied that you could understand it. ”

The original in Yao Qinghe's mouth originally referred to Zhang Jiuling before his death.

"I pretended to be, but I went back to the master to understand. ”

Yao Qinghe's face changed slightly, and he sighed without leaving a trace, "There is just a saying, 'Don't learn to run until you learn to walk'." ”

"What the Master said is to be down-to-earth, not to ascend to heaven in a day?"

"That's the truth. ”

There weren't many waves on Su Su's face, "But the road is too long, and you can't reach the sky for thousands of years with your feet on the ground." ”

"Nevertheless, it will not fall headlong from heaven. ”

Su Su didn't reply.

Yao Qinghe smiled, sat down, put the "General Interpretation of Ancient History" on the stone table, and only asked, "Have you eaten?"

Su Su sat down and shook her head.

"Then you don't have to look at it first, let's talk about it after eating. The body always comes first. Yao Qinghedao, "You don't have to read this book after eating, I'll give you a book." ”

"The Three Character Classic?" Su Su looked up.

Yao Qinghe choked for a moment, "How do you know?"

"Yesterday I saw the Master put a blue book on the table before he went to sleep, and I also saw the three words written on it, the Three Character Sutra. ”

"Can't I read the "Three Character Classic"?"

Before going to bed, the master would put the book he was reading at the head of the bed. ”

Yao Qinghe smiled, "Small but huge, you are really extremely smart." ”

Su Su replied: "But what's the use of being smart? If you can't reach the sky in one step, you can only stumble on the road after all." Looking up slightly, I saw a long and boundless road. It's like a three-year-old child who is innocent and never understands what adults eat wine for. ”

Su Su's expression became more and more depressed, and she wept slightly.

Yao Qinghe sighed and suddenly asked, "Do you know the Three Character Classic?"

I don't know why.

"What are the first two sentences?"

"At the beginning of man, nature is good. ”

"Does that make sense?"

Su Su didn't reply.

"It makes sense, and it doesn't make sense. Yao Qinghe replied: "But now what I teach you is to believe that it makes sense." At the beginning of man, he only believed that there were many good things in the world. Therefore, when he saw an adult eating wine, he thought that it was delicious, so he wanted to taste it. If an adult gives it, he teases him, and if he doesn't give it, he protects him. ”

Su Su was in a trance, she was thinking about when Zhang Jiuling would give her a taste of wine, and when she would not let her smell the wine.

"But Susu, what I want to say is that the wine of adults is bitter and spicy, how can you taste the flavors of it as a child?"
