Text Chapter 1 Chang'an Boy
The Xia Dynasty was strong, the people were solid, and the culture was prosperous, and the surrounding countries were all proud to be their subject countries. The people of the Xia Dynasty are very self-confident and love to study, from the astronomical calendar to the geography of mountains and rivers. However, the most attractive person in the world is the imperial examination to take the scholar as an official, the so-called "spring breeze proudly horseshoe disease, one day to see all the Chang'an flowers." "In one fell swoop, he became a famous figure in the Holy Dynasty. However, there is another one, which is the most mysterious, ethereal, reverie, and longing, which is the way to cultivate immortals and live forever.
Cultivating immortals and immortals have been passed down since ancient times, and to this day, in and out of the streets, you can still hear the legend about the immortals, and it is rumored that the immortals have great mana, move mountains and towns, turn stones into gold, and be immortal in the flesh, and live with heaven and earth. It is even rumored that there are immortal classics hidden in the palace today, which undoubtedly adds a bit of mystery and longing.
At noon, Chang'an City Street.
"Hit someone, hit someone! Give up, thank you. I'm sorry,,I'm sorry," the voice was loud and naughty, not at all like he had been beaten, I saw a young man in plain clothes rushing into the crowd in a panic, he was thin, with a long shirt, he looked a little bookish, his eyebrows were flying, his demeanor was light, and his steps were like flying, but he looked a little juvenile and heroic.
There are constantly people who are hit by him, even some sturdy men are almost unstable on their feet, shouting and scolding, but they are quite jealous in their hearts, they who have been walking the rivers and lakes all year round naturally know that this young man is a practitioner!
This Jianghu guest just came back to his senses, suddenly felt a sinking shoulder, it was someone who performed light skills, stepped on his shoulder, was feeling angry, and wanted to open his mouth to scold, just raised his head, only to see a girl in red flowing water, has drifted to the distance, leaving only a burst of fragrance, his heart is slightly cold, it seems that this breath is going to be swallowed today, it must be which big man Miss Gongzi is playing around.
This young man is called Ye Shaowen, his body is excellent, and a clear-eyed person can know at a glance that he is studying under a martial arts master, but the panic and embarrassment on his face does not seem to be fake, and he thinks that he ran wildly with his body, but unexpectedly entered a dead end.
Looking back, the girl in the red dress had already caught up with her, her hands on her waist, and she was slowly approaching with a smile. Her childish eyes are decorated with long eyelashes, like two crystal grapes, very beautiful, slim figure, waist and limbs can be held, a stunning girl.
However, Ye Shaowen didn't have the heart to appreciate the beautiful scenery in front of him, he first frowned, then squeezed out a helpless smile on his face, and said to the girl in front of him flatteringly: "I said Miss Liu, you just let me go, as long as you let me go, if I have orders in the future, I will go to the soup and go to the fire." At the same time, he patted his chest, and his face was firm, as if he was really making a solemn promise.
This Miss Liu's name is Liu Qi Painting, and she is the daughter of the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War, I only heard her sigh and replied: "Brother Shaowen, Uncle Ye and my father are close friends, when Uncle Ye was implicated in prison, my father did not hesitate to anger the saint, but also to keep the only son of the Ye family, Uncle Ye entrusted you to my father in prison." My father has no children under his knees, and treats you as if you were his own, and he even invites you to be a famous martial arts scholar, a famous Confucian in Hanlin to teach you, and I... We grew up together, and you... Do you really want to leave?" said with tears in the corners of his eyes, and he looked even more pitiful.
Ye Shaowen turned his head, not daring to look directly, and after being silent for a while, he raised his head and said seriously: "Sister Qihua, Uncle Liu treats me like his own, I know it, you are good to me, I... I understand it too. My parents and relatives were implicated and sentenced back then, and you are my relatives. It's just that I'm in the age of weakness, and I have my own things to do. As he said this, he regained his firmness.
The girl stared at him with a pair of beautiful eyes, and said softly: "My father can recommend you to the court, with your ability..." The girl also frowned, and said slowly: "We grew up together since childhood, and I know your every move" After a pause, I saw that her face was slightly red, and her eyebrows were lowered. continued: "Since the Holy Lord canonized a national teacher three years ago, it is rumored that this national teacher can take people's heads in an instant with a flying sword in one thousand meters, and even the great martial arts master can't resist a little, and he is proficient in the way of alchemy, and can refine the elixir, which is deeply appreciated by the saint, and the court has treated him with courtesy. Since then, I have noticed that you are no longer as hard as before, but you often read Taoist books and walk in the mountains and forests, and my father has never asked you when he sees that you have grown up. ”
Speaking of this, she slowed down, as if she had been depressed for many years in her heart, "Brother Shaowen, do you really want to go to the Immortal Dao? This is just folklore, it can't be true, you, you better go back with me." ”
Ye Shaowen shook his head, walked out slowly, walked to her side, and said with a slight smile: "I don't want to send people under the fence for the rest of my life, you go back quickly, when I find the fairy fate, I will come back to find you and repay Uncle Lin's kindness." The words fell, and the man walked slowly forward.
The girl looked at the slightly lonely and thin back in front of her, and couldn't hold back any longer, her nose was sore, and she cried out, as if she had been infinitely wronged, and hummed: "If you can really find it, maybe you will have forgotten us laymen." He stomped his foot and ran home.
Ye Shaowen did not look back, when he was eight years old, his parents were implicated and imprisoned for no reason, and his relatives were prisoners overnight.
When the emperor was young, he was very happy, and he was clear that the world was stable and the four seas were peaceful, but he insisted on finding some reason to crusade against the Southern Barbarian States, just to add a stroke to the history books, and he was unwilling to be the king of the city.
The Southern Barbarian country was lost in indoctrination, and the people were strong, although they did not pay tribute to the imperial court, they never dared to do something provocative, and the successive emperors were lenient and generous, and they were never held accountable. The emperor of this dynasty took this as a reason, Bai Zhuang for the general of the expedition to the south for many years, 100 generals, 200,000 soldiers, as a crusade against the text, the mighty march to the south, Ye Shaowen's father Ye Wu is the general's cronies of the captain, and has made great achievements.
Although the world was stable, the people were extremely patriotic and proud. From the generals to the soldiers, all of them fought bravely to be the first, cherishing this hard-won opportunity to make meritorious contributions. This village can be regarded as familiar with military books for many years, and a generation of famous generals. When I first arrived in southern Xinjiang, I made various adjustments, quickly adapted to the local environment, conquered the battle, won the war, and swept away the southern barbarian countries in less than two months, which can be described as the majesty of the country, and the surrounding countries were more pro-obedient, the emperor was happy with the dragon's face, and the banquet was set up in Chang'an City to celebrate the achievements, and the arrogance was indispensable.
In his later years, the emperor was even more moody and suspicious, pursuing the ethereal way of immortality, and the villain took the opportunity to ascend to the throne.
Wang Sheng, the chief eunuch, once met Zhuang Liannian in the palace, Wang Sheng knew this popular general, piled up a smile on his face, and made a gesture of goodwill to Zhuang Liannian: "The general swept the Nankou, and his prestige spread far and wide, and it is really an honor for our family to see it today." Zhuang Lian Nian was exposed to the sun, and said lightly: "Oh." Then he walked away. Wang Sheng's face was blue and white, and he said in his heart: There is a group of subordinates behind him, this village has been so faceless for many years, and you are good-looking. Later, he actually held a grudge, and often blew the wind in the emperor's ear, saying bad things about Zhuang for many years. The emperor didn't care at first, but after many times, he became suspicious, and Wang Sheng continued to fan the flames, and the stupid old man finally listened to Zhuang Lian's pride in his achievements and tried to rebel with heavy troops. An edict punished the nine clans of Zhuang for consecutive years, and in order to prevent future troubles, all the generals close to him were wiped out, and Ye Shaowen's father Ye Wu was among them.
Ye Shaowen studied hard and practiced martial arts in Liufu, and he didn't know why, he didn't want to go to the court to be an official, let alone serve the faint monarch, and he couldn't bear to live up to Uncle Liu's kindness.
But since the emperor ushered in an eastbound immortal as a national teacher three years ago, the high-level officials of the court all knew about it, and Liufu was no exception, Ye Shaowen overheard his uncle Liu Xiang talk about it, and he felt that this life suddenly had meaning, maybe the matter of immortals was not a legend. Since then, he has either locked himself in his room, flipped through Taoist books, forgot to sleep and eat, or went to the mountains and forests to look for immortals, and it has been a few years since he found nothing. But he didn't give up, he didn't have any nostalgia for the world except Liufu, maybe only by looking for immortals could he feel his still alive life again.
