Chapter 70 Caring for the World

"Haha...... I'm not interested, but what can you say?" Li Zhen said indifferently.

"Okay! Young people are indifferent to fame and fortune, and it's rare!" the middle-aged man put down the tea bowl in his hand and raised his head.

"I look at Mr., Tao is well-dressed, tasting tea in the mountains and rivers, I must be indifferent to the things in the world, right?"

"I'm ashamed! I'm in the temple, but I care about the rivers and lakes, and I can't bear the pain of the case, so I can only win my heart by placing my affection on the grass and trees in the mountains!" The middle-aged man looked at the leisurely mountains in the distance, and felt a sense of happiness in his heart.

"As the saying goes, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, like you, a person with high power and a person who responds to every call for a day should also do his best for the people, and should not have the idea of cultivating immortality and germinating from birth. Li Zhen looked at the five elements of the gossip pattern on his purple robe, presumably he was also a cultivator, but the officers and soldiers of the court under him showed his officialdom status, and the two seemed to be a little incompatible in Li Zhen's eyes.

"Haha...... Unexpectedly, you Li Zhen is not only ruthless, but also a top trick!" The middle-aged Taoist priest laughed out loud after listening to Li Zhen's count.

"I just said what was wrong, and if there was anything wrong, please advise. Li Zhen felt that he was quite in love with the person in front of him, and he talked more.

"Do you know what the situation is today?" The middle-aged man seemed to be about to say something important, and his expression became much more solemn.

"Do you need to talk about the situation in the world? The imperial court is incompetent, the localities are corrupt, and the people are suffering!" Li Zhen summed it up quite succinctly.

"Haha...... You're just the opinion of ordinary people. The Wu Dynasty ruled the world for hundreds of years, and there were no chaotic ministers and thieves who shook the dynasty, and there was no dark waves that stole the sky and changed the sun, can you say that such a court is incompetent? The general troops of the Quartet guard the border passes, there is no enemy to harass the suffering of the people, and there is no humiliation of being a minister, can you say that such a place is corrupt? The people have rice to eat, clothes to wear, no bones to freeze to death in Zhumen, and no easy children to eat, can you say that such people are suffering?

"Then according to what you said, when the Waha soldiers came to Liangzhou and slaughtered the city for several days, the sons and daughters of Liangzhou wanted to be reluctant but could not, hoping that the heavenly soldiers of the imperial court would be like dry fish and looking forward to Ganlin, and when they wanted to see through it, where was the local general army? Qin Ping took the army of tigers and wolves, pointed his sword at the capital, threatened the Son of Heaven and killed Zhongliang, abandoned the will of the people and was like a mustard, and the powerful ministers covered the sky and the sun, where was the imperial court? The general army in the northeast, without the will of the imperial court, sent troops to the northwest, and stepped on the grassland of Huade with iron hooves, the upper and lower government orders were not compatible, and the yang was in violation of the yin, so how could the power of heaven exist?" Li Zhenyue said that he became more and more angry in his heart.

"What you said is not unreasonable, but everything will be seen differently from being in it and staying out of it, Li Gongzi is also a smart person, there is a mystery in it, presumably he should not be self-conscious!" The middle-aged man couldn't help but think highly of Li Zhen from his heart.

"I know that the court thinks about the court's calculations, and the people can only play the people's calculations, our business is different, and the accounts are naturally different. Li Zhen said.

"Haha...... That's fine. ”

The purple sand kettle on the tea stove is whirring and spitting white gas, the middle-aged man puts a row of tea bowls, picks up the teapot, and pours it back and forth in turn, his tea-making technique is delicate, as soon as he picks up the teapot, it is like an old monk who has settled down, no longer speaks, only after the tea is all brewed, he raised his head and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Zhen looked at his tea-making skills, and felt a little admiration in his heart, it was indeed rare for a person like him to make tea by himself.

"Do you know about Liu Ji?" Li Zhen, who was asked by the middle-aged man, was caught off guard, a very abrupt question.

"I don't know much. Li Zhen replied truthfully.

"Have you heard of Liu Ji's four seals?"

"Why is it a seal again?" Li Zhen didn't know why so many people were discussing the matter of this seal.

"I'm sure you've heard about this seal?" the middle-aged man lowered his head and took a sip of tea, closing his eyes as if thinking about something.

"I've only heard that this seal seems to be able to open Liu Ji's basement, where there are countless treasures. Li Zhen didn't believe it at first, but now that he heard many people say about it, there shouldn't be any fakes.

"The four seals together can open the basement of Liu Ji's house, yes! But there are more than just some treasures buried in the basement, when Liu Ji dug the basement, he touched the dragon vein of the Wu Dynasty, so over the years, he has soared and become powerful. ”

"He dug up the dragon vein of the Wu Dynasty? How is this possible?" Li Zhen has never believed in evil, and he doesn't believe a word about the mysterious things like the dragon vein.

"The reason why he has risen steadily over the years is precisely because he holds the dragon vein of the Wu Dynasty in his hands. Later, he was afraid of being assassinated, so he divided the key to the door of the basement into four seals and gave them to his four henchmen, if he encountered an accident in the court, his doorman would open the basement and destroy the dragon vein of the Wu Dynasty to avenge him. ”

"Then what if all his disciples are assassinated? Won't all the seals be gone? Isn't the dragon vein safe?" Li Zhen felt that the imperial court let Liu Ji grab the handle, which was really ridiculous.

"If one of the four seals is damaged, the basement door cannot be opened, and the explosives at the internal dragon vein will be detonated, and then the entire Wu Dynasty will fall into a place of no return, and the lives will be ruined, and it is not the people who will suffer?" said the middle-aged man anxiously.

"No wonder the imperial court obeyed Liu Jiyan, his disciples were all local feudal officials, so it was. Li Zhen only understood at this moment why the imperial court was exhausted all these years, and the Liu group was flying and domineering.

"The court has to maintain Liu Ji's thoughtfulness, but recently Liu Ji has disappeared for no reason, the court is shaken, there are rumors that it is Liu Ji who is moved by the court, but in fact, it is not, they have endured him for so many years, why should the court find itself unhappy?"

"But Liu Ji appeared in Lamutu for no reason, which attracted Qin Ping, and then Liu Ji disappeared again, who did this?" Li Zhen didn't expect that such a vital person would be taken captive, isn't this equivalent to playing with fire and self-immolation?

"That's why I came to you, the imperial court can't intervene in this matter, only to find you!" the middle-aged man looked expectant.

"I, I'm still confused, how can I find Liu Ji?" Li Zhen didn't expect someone to take him so seriously.

"You are destined to share the fate with the court! "Middle-aged people always leave three points of suspense when they speak.

"I don't understand what you're saying, can you be more specific?" Li Zhen said confusedly.

"Go ahead! Find out Liu Ji's whereabouts and bring him back to the capital safe and sound! If his disciples destroy a seal at will, the entire dragon vein of the Wu Dynasty will collapse, and the people will fall into fire and water, this is what you and I don't want to see, only Liu Ji can stop this from happening, your responsibility is heavy, I hope you will consider it carefully." Li Zhen was moved by the middle-aged man's serious appearance, and after hearing about this today, he actually had some sympathy for the imperial court in his heart.

"How do you know that I will promise you?" Li Zhen looked at the indifference and confidence of the middle-aged man, and felt a little unhappy.

"Didn't I just say it? You are a person who is connected to the fate of the Wu Dynasty, whether you promise me or not, you will do it. Otherwise, how could there be a sentence that the destiny of heaven cannot be violated?" The middle-aged man turned around, revealing a big yin and yang gossip behind him.

"I've been talking to you for so long, I still don't know your true identity?

"Haha...... A person who lives in the sky is a contemptible person. Ju Tian leaned over and smiled faintly.

"Jutian, why haven't I heard of you?" Li Zhen really hadn't heard of a big official in the imperial court.

"Contemptible people have lived in the inner court for many years, responsible for the emperor's daily life, and don't show up to the outside world, it's normal for you not to know me. Ju Tian's face was happy.

"Oh! No wonder, then you don't have any real power in the court?"

"Haha...... Exactly, exactly! Ju Tian smiled helplessly.

"Then there's nothing else, I'll go first?" Li Zhen felt that it was time to go back.

"Okay! Li Gongzi, I hope you will consider what I say to you, the stakes are very high, remember! Remember!" Ju Tian clasped his hands into fists and made a big salute.

"Farewell!" Li Zhen bowed and said goodbye to Jutian, and strode away from the place.

In the ruined temple outside the city, the purple smoke was boiling a hundred meals, and the curling smoke also added some fireworks to this land temple.

"Wow! Ziyan is cooking food again?" Li Zhen smiled excitedly as soon as he smelled the aroma of rice.

"Li Gongzi, are you back?" Ziyan was relieved to see that Li Zhen was safe and sound, so much of the food she cooked was not in vain, she spent the whole day anxiously waiting, and when she heard Li Zhen's familiar voice sound, she was relieved.

"Yo, you're back, how are you, who are you going to see?" Long Xiao heard Li Zhen's broken gong and hurried out.

"What are you doing, asking questions and asking questions, like a girl?" Li Zhen glanced at Li Zhen.

"Hee-hee-......" Ziyan couldn't help but laugh secretly when she saw Li Zhen and Long Xiao arguing as soon as they met, she felt that it was indeed rude for her to laugh at her master, and hurriedly returned to Zhang Luo in front of the pot.

"Hey, let's talk about it, who wants to see you?" Long Xiao saw Ziyan leaving, so he grabbed Li Zhen's arm and pulled him aside to ask him.

"I'm thirsty!"

"Who saw you?" Long Xiao didn't hear what Li Zhen said.

"I said I'm thirsty!'ve got something wrong with your ears!" Li Zhen pointed at Long Xiao's head helplessly.

"Oh! I said it earlier!" Long Xiao dragged a sack of water from his waist and handed it to Li Zhen.

"You can't hear it if you say it earlier. After Li Zhen finished speaking, he drank two large mouthfuls of water.

"The person who saw me this time is a big official of the imperial court!" Li Zhen said slowly.

"Didn't they want to put you to death, how could they let you out?"

"Hey, I said you can't talk, right? Why did you kill me? Why am I so annoying?" Li Zhen squinted at Long Xiao.

"Aren't those notices, chase and kill orders, all posted by the imperial court?" Long Xiao said.

"That's individual officials, communiqué personal vendettas, and now I'm different. Li Zhen hesitated.

"What's the difference?"

"Here!" Li Zhen pointed to his heart.
