The night is fading, the sky is about to be white, Yuan Liang and Gu Jin sit by the tomb, thinking about their own thoughts.

"I'm Yuan Liang of Qingshui Country. Yuan Liang's hoarse voice broke the silence. "Thank you for everything you did today. Since they want to arrest me, you must have been ambushed when you go back to collect our family's corpses again. ”

"It's okay, it's okay. The little monk shook his head a little embarrassedly, "I am the ancient and modern of Futu Temple." ”

"Ancient and modern, you should be very powerful to get rid of the siege of so many monks, you and I don't know each other, why do you want to help us?"

The little monk pointed to Yuan Shu, who was still sleeping not far away: "Master allowed me to go out this time so that I could bring her back." ”

"She is my sister, she grew up in the palace since she was a child, why did you take her away?"

The little monk scratched his head, "Master said that Uncle Yuan Shu is the reincarnation of my Futu Temple Yuanshu Bodhisattva, and I should have come to take her back when my uncle recovered the memory of my previous life, but Master sensed a variable a few days ago, so he sent me to pick up Uncle Shi home." ”

"Variable...... Go home......" Yuan Liang smiled bitterly, "She really needs to go home." Can ......"

"If you want to take her, with your ability, you can take her away when you first find me at the gate of the imperial city, why do you take me with you? Why do you have to take a huge risk to go back again to help us collect the corpses of our family?" Yuan Liang looked at the ancient and modern eyes and asked.

"Why?" Gu Jin thought hard, "there is no why, just did that." ”

"It seems that the monks on the mountain do not all regard mortals as ants and pariahs. Yuan Liang said quietly.

"It seems that only the people of Dongzhou have a smooth life. "Ancient and modern secluded roads.

The two teenagers glanced at each other, and it turned out that they were all like-minded people.

Yuan Liang looked into the distance and said hoarsely: "When I was born, the divine light room, the purple qi filled the court, and the three green divine birds circled and chirped on the mother's palace. Ying Tian Academy and Zhongnan Mountain both sent people to come, and called me the darling of the Heavenly Dao who combines the atmosphere and luck. ”

"Heavenly Dao darling?" Gu Jin said curiously, "Then you should be like a divine help on the path of cultivation, why haven't you practiced yet?"

Yuan Liang smiled bitterly: "When I was young, I was too smooth to practice, and I always thought that even if I relied on my luck alone, even if I didn't do anything, I would easily reach the top of the avenue." ”

He gently took out the dark jade bead from his arms, "Unexpectedly, when I was eight years old, I was seriously ill, lost my luck, and lay in bed for three years before I woke up, and I encountered a flood that was rare in Qingshui Country in a hundred years. ”

Gu Jin clasped his hands together and blamed himself: "If I could have arrived at the Imperial City earlier and found my uncle earlier, all this might not have happened." ”

Yuan Liang smiled, "It's useless, if you don't take this bead, my whole clan can live, but my whole country is going to die, my sister did nothing wrong, although she did not recover her memory, but the implied Buddha nature still made her make the most correct choice in the dark, I am not as good as her." ”

After that, Yuan Liang threw the Xuanyu bead in his hand to Gu Jin: "Good people do it to the end, Qingshui Country has changed to a new monarch, but the debt still has to be repaid, and the new monarch's faction may use all their money to make up for this debt, but the life of the people will be even more difficult." The grain that this jade bead can exchange for is enough for the victims to survive until the next season's rice is ripe. ”

Gu Jin's surprised hands caught the Xuanyu bead, then clenched it tightly in his hand, and nodded vigorously: "Please rest assured, these grains will definitely be distributed to the victims." ”

Yuan Liang said solemnly: "The world is unpredictable, be careful of those monks who chase and kill me, the food must reach the mouths of the victims." ”

Gu Jin raised his fist firmly: "People are in the food." ”

Yuan Liang arched his hand towards Gu Jin, and then exhaled a long breath: "In this way, I can leave with confidence." ”

"Where are you going?"

Yuan Liang pointed to the sky, "I haven't thought about where to go yet, but I want to embark on the path of cultivation as soon as possible." "Settle this uneven world as soon as possible.

Gu Jin hurriedly took out a small vermilion wooden plaque from his arms and handed it to Yuan Liang.

Yuan Liang took the wooden card, and there was only one magnificent word "repair" on the wooden card, "This is?"

Gu Jinhan said with a smile: "I heard you say that your luck disappeared suddenly, you can go to the fifth floor of the ninth floor to repair everything to ask, with this wooden card you can repair everything to try to repair your luck, Master said, the road is difficult, the more you go up, the more you have to look at your luck." ”

Looking at Yuan Liang's solemn appearance, Gu Jin immediately added: "Mainly because we want to relieve the victims, my uncle and I have to stay in Qingshui Country for a few months, and my master is far away in Dongzhou, so I want you to help me go to the ninth floor to deliver a message, this little wooden card is given to you by the way, it's worthless!"

Without waiting for Yuan Liang to hesitate, Gu Jin had already written the letterhead quickly, put it in a bamboo tube, and handed it to Yuan Liang together with two purple stone beads: "This is the purple stone bead needed to send the letterhead, it is very expensive, Brother Yuan, please send a letter for my master this time." ”

Yuan Liang had no choice but to hold the vermilion wooden plaque and the letterhead in his arms, and arched his hand: "Thank you, but where is the ninth floor?"

Gu Jin pointed to the east, "Go east, there is a green building in the capital of Tianwu Kingdom, called Fang Taoyuan, which is a stronghold on the ninth floor. ”

Yuan Liang nodded, took one last look at the sleeping Yuan Shu, got up and said, "I'll leave now, goodbye." ”

Gu Jin also got up and bowed his hand: "Goodbye!"

— — — —

The sun slowly rises from the horizon, and the crimson glow fills the sky. Yuan Liang's figure has long disappeared in the east, looking at the direction of Yuan Liang's departure, and silently praying for him.

"The wooden cards for cultivating all the wooden cards that Zhengjue gave you were so easily done by you, you are really generous. A girl in white suddenly appeared beside Gu Jin and rubbed his little bald head vigorously.

"Uncle Shi, you just ...... Have you woken up?" Gu Jin turned back in surprise, scratched his head and said with a smile: "The wooden plaque is precious, but Yuan Liang needs it." ”

The girl in white kicked Gu Jin's ass, "You, I really don't know if you're too stupid or too smart." ”

Gu Jin grimaced and ran away.

The girl stretched out, stretched out a finger, and suddenly pointed to a bush in the woods, only to see a muffled snort and a dazzling white light from the bushes, and then there was silence, only a little red blood droplets slowly slipped between the leaves.

"Huh?" the girl in white looked at the bushes with some surprise, and then drew a lazy smile, "It's kind of interesting." ”

— — — —

"Poof", a white light came with a muffled sound, and the request of Zhongnan Mountain suddenly fell on the top of the peak, and a young man in black robe who closed his eyes tightly.

On the grass where the man fell, fine pieces of blood were faintly visible.

A chubby eight or nine-year-old boy appeared next to the young man covered in blood, stuffed a pill into the young man's mouth, and patted the young man's big hole a few times.

"Master Ancestor ......" The young man woke up slowly, and laboriously got up and knelt on the ground to salute.

The little boy waved his hand and asked angrily, "What's the matter?"

The young man said bitterly: "Master, the disciple inquired about the news in Qingshui Country, it happened that the Yuan royal family of Qingshui Country was slaughtered by Qingyang Mountain, the disciple carefully investigated, and found that Yuan Liang, the former prince of Qingshui Kingdom, and Yuan Shu, the princess, were rescued by a little monk, that Yuan Liang was also a celebrity before, and the disciple quietly followed, but he knew that the little monk was a person in the Futu Temple, and Yuan Shu was the reincarnation of Yuan Shu Bodhisattva of the Futu Temple, and it was she who seriously injured the disciple with a finger. ”

"Oh, the Qingshui Kingdom Yuan Liang you are talking about, but the boy with great luck, wasn't he accepted by the Confucian hypocrites?" the little boy wondered.

"The ancestor didn't know, three years ago, Yuan Liang suddenly fainted in the academy, it is said that he lost all his luck, so he was released by Confucianism, and he slept for three years before finally waking up. ”

The little boy smashed his mouth, stretched out his chubby little hand and pinched his fingers slightly: "It's kind of interesting...... he looked at the young man and asked, "Then do you know where they are?"

"Master, then Yuan Liang should have gone to the ninth-floor stronghold of Tianwu Kingdom, and the two people in Futu Temple are said to stay in Qingshui Country to secretly relieve the victims. ”

"Hmm......" The little boy pondered for a moment, smiling and throwing a bottle of elixir towards the young man, "Shi Tong, you did a good job this time, go and recuperate." ”

After the young man named Shi Tong left the peak gratefully, the chubby little boy put away his smile and said to himself solemnly: "On one side is the ninth floor, and on the other side is the Futu Temple, there is really a bit of a cat in it, but I don't know who this secret son is?"

Suddenly, the little boy's fat face showed a hint of cunning, "Hmph, it's just that Futu Temple is sneaky in Dongzhou, and now he dares to come to Zhongzhou to meddle in his affairs. ”

The capital of Tianwu Kingdom is much more lively than that of Qingshui Kingdom, because there is a purple stone pearl vein in Tianwu Kingdom, called Jade Mountain. The Yushan vein is not very large, but it is enough to feed the upper and lower parts of the Tianwu Kingdom.

Yuan Liang went all the way, and found that most of the women and children in Tianwu were old and young, and it was rare to see a man in the prime of life.

Tianwu country is on higher ground, the summer in the capital is not hot, in the evening, many people are sitting outside the courtyard to enjoy the cool, Yuan Liang can vaguely see a few young men lying at the door to enjoy the cool, the heart has a little more comfort, but take a closer look, a few young and strong men are not constantly handbroken and footed, the heart can not help but sigh, the world is difficult to live.

Yuan Liang approached an old man selling candy on the side of the road and asked softly, "Uncle, is there a place called Fang Taoyuan in the capital?"

The old man's right leg bone should have been broken when he was young, and he was a little unsteady when he stood up, he glanced at Yuan Liang and asked rhetorically: "Little boy, seeing that you are young, do you know what kind of place it is?"

Yuan Liang hurriedly said: "Uncle misunderstood, I just went to deliver the letter, but after entering the capital, I didn't see a few young people, how can there be business when the Qinglou is opened here?"

The old man whispered: "Little boy, at first glance, you are a stranger, you are right, there are indeed few young people in the capital, but the young children of those Tianwu nobles abound, and they are very rich!"

Yuan Liang nodded thoughtfully: "The high-ranking and powerful people will always be in the fish and flesh people." ”

The old man couldn't help but nod and said, "Yes, yes, that's it!" After that, he pointed to the east, "Fang Taoyuan is over there, you send the letter and leave quickly, the people inside are not easy to mess with!"
