Chapter 99: The Change Begins
History is always strikingly similar. Even if Mo Xiaolou taught Yang Guang many advanced concepts of governance in later generations in advance, he still walked towards the established track.
Three tours to Yangzhou, two tours to the north, relocation of the capital, construction of canals, and conquest of Goryeo...... Nothing less.
The only difference from history is that these events move faster.
Absorbing Mo Xiaolou's advanced concepts, the officials of the Sui court were more efficient, and the national strength declined faster.
It seems that there are countless black hands hidden behind the scenes, fueling the flames and making waves.
Boom and bust.
Troubled times have finally come.
In the seventh year of the Great Cause, Yang Guang wanted to launch the third conquest against Goryeo......
The sunset is fading, and it seems to take away all the joy and sorrow of the day.
The weather hasn't fully warmed up yet, but the cold of the wind is no longer felt.
The willow trees sprout and the poplar flowers gradually dance, and everything is recovering.
The setting sun was dyed a residual red on the corner of the distant mountains. The bells of the Great Stone Temple echo leisurely in the mountains, and the ancient cities below the mountains are already lit up with dots.
The temple looks the same as before, but it is more prosperous. It's 10 o'clock in the evening, but the pilgrims are still bustling and lively.
Presiding over the annex, one man, one woman, and one monk. The three of them talked with candles.
"When Emperor Wen was there, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and there were few pilgrims in the temple; when Yang Guang succeeded to the throne, he took wealth from the people, and there were more people who came to the temple to make incense. ”
"That's why I've never been willing to take over the position of mountain keeper. Guy Buddhism always advises people to cultivate the afterlife, which is too negative. I believe that the power of faith should be a power to help believers to achieve victory in the face of the most serious difficulties, a power that ennobles and makes people great. ”
"Amitabha. That's why I want you to inherit the Buddha Mountain Guard. ”
"I haven't seen you for many years, Master, your first sentence is to ask my husband to become a monk, so you don't think of me as a hostess, right?"
"Hehehe, the donor misunderstood. Those who guard the mountains do not have to be monks. ”
Needless to say, these three people are Mo Xiaolou, Zhenyan, and Mingyue.
"When I left, it was summer, and when I came back, it was already spring. ”
Mo Xiaolou said with some emotion. He hadn't seen him for many years, he was still in his twenties, and time seemed to leave no trace on his face.
But his appearance and temperament are completely different from before, although his appearance is still so handsome, it is almost evil. What particularly impresses you is that its skin is crystal clear and shimmers with a dazzling sheen. A thick long hair, casually tied in a bun, under the candlelight in the room, revealing a strange red.
Zhenyan poured the two of them full tea again, and sighed: "It seems that Master Mo's Dao Heart Demon Cultivation Dafa has been completed. ”
Mo Xiaolou picked up the teacup, used an ingenious technique, replaced the tea in the cup with wine, and drank it all.
"It's not a big success, in the eyes of the master, can't he have seen the way yet?"
The mantra let out a light "huh", and then he paid attention to Mo Xiaolou, and covered his whole body with a large number of people, and then he shouted out in shock: "The demon path is the same stream, and heaven and man are one! Could it be that you actually combined the Dao Heart Demon Cultivation Dafa, the God of War Catalog, and the Sword Dictionary to create a new exercise?"
Mingyue sweetly hugged Mo Xiaolou and said with a grin: "With the talent of the husband, if you want to create a technique, you will naturally be able to catch it." ”
Zhenyan sighed: "Xiao Lou's talent is really extraordinary. Amitabha, the old man really didn't see the wrong person. ”
Mo Xiaolou smiled bitterly: "It's just a last resort." These three exercises...... The Dao Heart Demon Cultivation is in the wrong order, and the God of War Catalogue itself is plausible, and the Sword Dictionary ...... It's even more practiced by women. If I don't push through the old and bring forth the new, sooner or later I will train myself to death. ”
Zhenyan said: "Having said that, only Xiaolou has the ability to really do it." The four strange books, you have fused the third, I am afraid that even the evil king did not achieve this achievement back then. ”
Hearing him mention Shi Zhixuan, Mo Xiaolou was curious: "Why haven't I heard anything from him all these years?" If I wasn't sure that he was still alive, I would be ready to set up a tomb for him." ”
The truth sighed: "If he doesn't appear, I'm afraid it's what Lord Brahma is most worried about." ”
Mingyue clapped her hands, leaned on Mo Xiaolou very unvividly, turned her head and asked:
"Speaking of which...... I'm curious, when you fought Ning Dodger, who won?"
Mo Xiaolou's eyes were also full of brilliance.
"The Buddha said, "Don't say it, don't say it." ”
Mo Xiaolou said: "If the master doesn't say it, I really don't plan to accept the position of this mountain guard." ”
The mantra tiger body shook violently, and he looked at Mo Xiaolou in disbelief,
"You...... Xiao Lou means-"
"Exactly what you mean. ”
"Hahahaha!" said the mantra looked up to the sky and smiled, and the color of surprise was overflowing:
"Good, good, good, great! Xiaolou, you have never disappointed. ”
Mingyue smiled: "Master should satisfy the curiosity of the two of us this time, right?"
"Good, good......"
......
When Mo Xiaolou and his entourage officially settled down in the mountain behind the Dashi Temple, it was already the second day of February.
Over the years, he and Mingyue have been looking for Xiao Tao's sister Shang Xiufang while traveling in the mountains and rivers, and they are like fairy couples. Perhaps it is precisely because of this leisurely mentality, which is in line with the mysterious state of intentional or unintentional cultivation that Mo Xiaolou can rely on to integrate the three great miracles.
Of course he won't admit it, it's actually a double cultivation......
Three years ago, they found Shang Xiufang in an ordinary mountain village in Lingnan. At that time, although the chaos in the world arose, Lingnan was still calm and peaceful under the intelligence of the Heavenly Sword Song Que, therefore, Mo Xiaolou, Mingyue and Shang Xiufang settled down in Lingnan, on the one hand, it was a long time to think about it, and more importantly, the reason was that Mingyue saw that Shang Xiufang was extraordinary, and it was suitable for learning her own Fang Fei Xie exercises, so she inevitably broke off the inheritance, so she had a good addiction to being a master, and trained Shang Xiufang into a new generation of talented women whose charm was not inferior to her back then.
Shang Xiufang's name was only circulating in Lingnan at this time, but Mingyue was sure that she would eventually become famous all over the world.
"Whew. ”
Facing the fresh beauty of the green trees and red makeup in the mountains, Mo Xiaolou exhaled and sighed: "Returning to Bashu, it really feels like a world away." ”
Mingyue hugged Mo Xiaolou's waist from behind and said softly: "Yes, if Zhu Yuyan hadn't invited me to perform in Chengdu at that time, I wouldn't have had a chance to meet my husband." ”
Mo Xiaolou turned his head and said softly: "It's cold outside, what are you doing here." ”
"With my current internal strength, am I still afraid of a little cold? ”
Mo Xiaolou pinched her little hand, slowly turned around and said, "You are not afraid, the little guy in the stomach will be afraid." ”
Mingyue is pregnant!
She happily stroked her lower abdomen and tapped her head.
She cherishes and cares about this little life in her body very much.
They though ...... Uh, singing every night, but Mingyue's stomach has not been angry, what can I do?
This incident has also become a huge regret in her heart.
After all, there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great.
Although Mo Xiaolou always comforted her, saying that it was his own reason and had nothing to do with Mingyue, he didn't care about any offspring or not...... But the more he said this, the more guilty Mingyue became.
However, after many unsuccessful efforts, they gave up completely.
But that's how things happen in the world. It was during this critical period that Mingyue became pregnant.
"Husband, you can go with confidence, Mingyue can take care of herself. ”
"No, Yang Guang, that kid, you can do whatever you like. ”
"After he became the emperor, he never forgot to ask you to be a concubine. Over the years, no matter where we go, we will always receive his flying pigeon biography inexplicably, this kid, full of sincerity. ”
"That kid can't die for a while. When our child is born, I'll go out again. ”
Mingyue grabbed his ear and grinned:
"If the old lady tells you to go, you will go. Mother-in-law's is not the Mo Xiaolou I know!"
Mo Xiaolou smiled helplessly, gently stroked Mingyue's hair and said, "You are always like this......"
"Don't worry, with the Master of Shingon here, who dares to come to me for trouble. You can't let the mountain keeper's position be taken in vain. ”
"Good. ”
"I heard..... Three months ago, it was still possible to ...... Hmmm......"
"So what are you waiting for......
