Regarding whether the old pawns are going or staying, Xu Beiyou didn't point fingers too much, after all, they are not children, they naturally know how to weigh the pros and cons, after saying goodbye to Zhang San, Xu Beiyou left Jiuyuan City with Shangguan Qiushui and walked towards the hinterland of Wei State.

The two of them did not take the post road, but chose a remote place where no one was inhabited, walked for almost a hundred miles without seeing a single person, and when they paused next to a small stream, Shangguan Qiushui asked curiously: "You really only have the realm of the Nine Layers of the Earth Immortal?" In fact, you have already set foot on the twelfth floor of the Earth Immortal, right?"

Xu Beiyou was silent, she asked again: "What are you doing on Biyou Island? There has been a great true person of the Daomen there for many years, although this great real person may not be your opponent, but if you startle the snake and let the Daomen know your whereabouts, you may not be able to return to Jiangdu alive." ”

Xu Beiyou still didn't answer, and Shangguan Qiushui was not discouraged, and continued to ask: "What is there on Biyou Island? It makes you willing to take such a big risk. ”

Xu Beiyou, who has been practicing closed-mouth meditation, finally spoke: "There is nothing willing or not, just a last resort." ”

Then he added, "If you don't want to die on Biyou Island, don't ask what you shouldn't." ”

Although Shangguan Qiushui is not young, but I don't know if it is because of the early arrival of the hundred-year-old mark, or because of his own personality, there are always some young women's temperament, and they habitually pouted angrily: "If I didn't have to go to Biyou Island with you, I wouldn't have bothered to ask this." ”

Xu Beiyou said flatly: "I didn't go to Biyou Island to die. ”

Shangguan Qiushui habitually wiped the sideburns around his ears with his slender fingers, and said sarcastically: "Xiao Jin, the king of Wei, didn't send people to the Ming Tomb to die, but in the end, he didn't die cleanly, even the Qingchen Dazhen was folded there, I'm afraid you, Xu Gongzi, can't compare to the Qingchen Dazhen?"

K only 7 a "genuine R version +,Its P other n are '% is a pirated 7 version

Xu Beiyou said with a smile: "It's true that I'm not as good as Qingchen Dazhen, but Biyou Island is not a Ming Tomb, there is no Xiao Huang who has cast an immortal golden body, there is only a great real person of Daomen." ”

Shangguan Qiushui snorted heavily.

Xu Beiyou laughed it off and said no more.

Shangguan Qiushui glanced at his ancient face and gave up on continuing the temptation.

The two continued on their journey, and the two didn't say anything more along the way, until nightfall, when the two stayed for a short time again in a broken temple in the mountains, Shangguan Qiushui spoke: "The five great families of the year shared the country, among which the Ye family was the closest to Biyou Island, if we want to go to Biyou Island from the land, we must pass through the Ye family's territory. ”

Xu Beiyou asked curiously: "Who is the current head of the Ye family? Ye Daoqi? Or is it the rumored old lady of the Ye family?"

Shangguan Qiushui said: "The head of the family on the bright side is Ye Daoqi, but it is Ye Xia who really speaks, Ye Xia and Gongsun Zhongmou, Zhang Xueyao and others are the same generation, and they are also the biological sister of the Taoist sect master Qiu Ye, and at the same time he is friendly with Qiu Yue, the abbot of Buddhism. ”

Xu Beiyou sighed, and then asked, "Then what is her relationship with Murong Xuan?"

Shangguan Qiushui said with a smile: "Then you are asking the right person, Murong Xuan and Qiu Ye are Taoist couples, even if they are Ye Xia's sister-in-law, she wants to meddle in the affairs of the Ye family as the hostess of the Ye family, but she was obstructed by Ye Xia. ”

Xu Beiyou looked at the makeshift fire, thoughtful, his face looked uncertain under the light of the fire.

......

A few days ago, a distinguished guest came to the Ye family, whose identity was not simple, it was Li Qingyu, the head of the Li family in Jiangling.

This new Confucian gentleman came to visit his old man Ye Daoqi, and these days you can often see the two heads of the family walking in the house, sometimes walking with candles and nights, talking about the Tao, no matter how you look at it, it is full of celebrities and gentlemen.

It is said that this Mr. Li also went to visit the old lady who lived in a simple place on weekdays, and was left by the old lady for an hour to speak, I have to say that Mr. Li is worthy of being a real celebrity who is famous in Jiangnan Shilin, and he actually made the old lady who has always been above the top say a lot of words of praise for the first time.

In the past few days, another distinguished guest has come to the door, who is not inferior to the Confucian master Li Qingyu, who is actually the Dragon King of Buddhism who came out of the ancestral court of Buddhism, and it is said that he made a special trip to visit the old lady of the Ye family by the decree of the abbot of Buddhism.

Although the Ye family is a thousand-year-old family, and there is another Taoist master in his own family, he does not dare to slack off in the face of these two distinguished guests, after all, one is a great gentleman who is expected to become the leader of Confucianism, and the other is expected to become the next dragon king of Buddhism.

However, there are also some careful people who can detect the subtle differences, the white-clothed dragon king seems to be closer to the old lady, while the head of the Li family in a green shirt is more inclined to the head of the family, and the subtle difference makes several old people who have served the previous generation of Ye Chong secretly feel frightened.

It's not right.

......

An old man dressed as a scholar walked on the post road with a bookcase on his back, and it seemed that because of his lack of strength, he spent some loose silver, stopped a carriage, and turned to take a car and walked slowly in the direction of the "Eastern Capital".

The coachman was an old man about the same age as the old scholar, and while driving the carriage, his mouth was still idle, and he asked: "Listening to the voice of the old man, it is not like a local, is it to visit relatives or meet friends when he goes to the 'Eastern Capital'?"

The old scholar shook his head and said: "I can't afford to be a minister, but I am just a poor and sour literati." ”

The coachman smiled: "Don't be modest, although the old man is old, his body is not as good as that of young people, but he has seen many people, and he is still stronger than young people in terms of knowledge. ”

The old man smiled, "The old man is right, the old man did be an official for a few years in his early years, but the word "Xianggong" is difficult for non-princes to bear, since the old man does not ask about the official position and is called the official, then you might as well talk about it, what kind of official position did the old man do back then?"

A smile appeared on the coachman's wrinkled face, and with the cunning and wisdom of the market, he said: "I can't tell the old man, there is no first grade, but also a second grade." ”

Seeing that the old scholar was smiling and silent, the coachman thought that he had made a mistake, so he hurriedly added, "Sanpin! Sanpin can't be lowered." ”

The old scholar laughed.

The driver didn't dare to say too much and concentrated on catching the car.

The old man sitting in the carriage began to talk to himself, "Sir, back then, you said that meritorious service, virtue, and speech were immortal, and in terms of meritorious service, I was not as good as Zhang Jiangling, and on virtue, I was not as good as Fang He, and in terms of speech, I was not as good as Zhang Zai. ”

"Sir, I came to Wei this time, not for any three immortals, but some time ago I re-read those sage classics that I memorized when I was a child. ”

"So, I came to the Wei country, if I can successfully persuade the king of Wei not to afford swords, then nine deaths without regrets, after all, I can exchange a worthless old bone for a world peace, no matter how you look at it, it is a very cost-effective thing, by the way, maybe you can also fight for a reputation that will last forever, which is even more sure to make money. ”

"As for what to do if you can't persuade you? Sir, I haven't really thought much about it, but after thinking about it roughly, it's just a death. ”

As he spoke, there were more pedestrians on the post road.

The "Eastern Capital" is near.
