Chapter 20 The days are long and sometimes endless, and the Ming Emperor's hatred is endless

That night, a waning moon shimmered with light, and Ye Haotian came to Liangshan in the north of Qianxian County, Shaanxi Province.

There was no sound around her, and Lan'er was already so frightened that she hid herself, but just opened a slit in the Qiankun bag and looked out.

Ye Haotian from the first gate in the south of Liangshan, to the north step by step, seeing that both sides are full of horses, Weng Zhong, soon came to the dedication of the palace, in front of the hall are dozens of kings, or calm and relaxed, holding hands upright, or a helpless face, standing aside, or smiling, proud, or full of hideous, like a fierce god. Not far away is the world-famous Qianling wordless stele, the stele is bronze-colored, supported by a turtle, the old tortoise road looks safe, do auspicious Ruyi solution, there is a huge wordless stele on it.

Following the direction guided by the Ancestral Continent Fairy, he patrolled behind the wordless monument. Dozens of zhang away, there is indeed a nameless ancient tomb, although the tomb is not big, but it is extraordinary, and the tomb of the palace maid and eunuch who accompanied the burial is very different. He knew that this was the ancient tomb he was looking for, so he took out the sachet entrusted by the fairy from the Qiankun bag, opened it and put it in front of the ancient tomb.

After a while, there was a faint singing voice from the sachet, and it was still the song of long hatred, but only the beginning and the end, and a lot of changes were made in between. The beginning is "The Han Emperor is heavy on the country, and Yuyu has been unable to ask for it for many years." The Yang family has a girl who has just grown up, and she is raised in the deep boudoir. It is difficult to give up the natural beauty, and once chose the king's side...... The clouds and temples are swaying, and the hibiscus tent is warm in spring, and the spring is short, and the king is not early in the ......" The song is tactful, gentle and infinite, and makes people's hearts full of tenderness and sweetness.

Lan'er listened to it in the Qiankun Tips, and also felt moved in her heart, and her fear of the ancient tomb was unconsciously alleviated a little.

The song then sang: "Suddenly I heard that there was a fairy mountain on the sea, and the mountain was in the void. The pavilion is exquisite, and there are many fairies. There is a character that is too true, and the appearance of snow skin is uneven. The wind blows the fairy robe fluttering, like a neon dress and feather dance. Yurong is lonely and tears are dry, and pear blossoms bring rain in spring. Gazing at the king with affection, he said goodbye to the two dim. The Zhaoyang Palace is full of love, and the moon is long in the Penglai Palace. In heaven I wish to be a winged bird, and on earth I wish to be a branch. The days are long and sometimes endless, and this hatred lasts forever. ”

The song is entwined, the dream is haunting, full of endless tenderness and hope, which is heartwarming.

Before the singing stopped, the capstone of the ancient tomb suddenly moved to the side, and an old man floated out of the tomb in the shape of a ghost, holding the sachet in his hand, and couldn't help muttering to himself: "It's been 600 years, and I finally heard your voice again! Is this a dream? The dream is still vaguely full of tears, and it is difficult to ......trace the changes in the wind and clouds."

Ye Haotian looked fixedly, but saw that the old man was wearing a □ veil hat and a purple round-necked robe.

The old man sighed for a long time, and then he noticed a young man standing in front of him, so he said, "Young man, where did you find this bag?"

Ye Haotian bowed: "Senior Qibing, this is a fairy on the ancestral continent that I handed you over, in addition to the sachet, there is also a fairy grass." As he spoke, he handed over an undead grass.

The old man's voice trembled: "Which fairy? What does she look like? Is it her? She is still alive?"

Ye Haotian carefully described the appearance of the fairy, and then said: "She is alive and well, her skills have improved greatly, she has reached the realm of gods and men, and she is looking forward to meeting her predecessors." ”

The old man took the immortal grass and cried out with ecstasy: "So she has forgiven me! God, she has finally forgiven me!"

After a long time, he calmed down, looked at Ye Haotian and said, "This is the immortal grass of Zuzhou, I used to see it back then." With it, I will be able to recover most of my strength. As he spoke, he swallowed the undead grass. He didn't sit down cross-legged, but just stood still for a moment before opening his eyes again, and said with a smile: "Great! It won't be long before I can go to Zuzhou to see her! Little brother, I really don't know how to thank you, what do you want? Do you want the treasure of Qianling?"

Ye Haotian shook his head: "I have lost interest in gold, silver and jewelry. I only have one question, I want to ask my seniors to give me a name, and I can have a name when we meet in the future. ”

The man hesitated slightly, and said, "I am Emperor Ming Li Longji, I think you have guessed it." ”

Ye Haotian's heart was really good, so he saw it again and said, "Why are the seniors trapped in the tomb?"

Li Longji sighed: "It's a long story. Back then, I was the head of the Yellow Emperor's eight attendants, and I originally stayed well in the heavenly realm. One day, I suddenly received a decree from the Jade Emperor and asked me to come to the mortal world to take charge, saying that it was a chaotic program after the martial arts, and someone needed to revive the Tang Dynasty. So I had to come to the mortal world. In the first ten years, I really forgot to sleep and eat, and worked hard, but fortunately, my hard work was not in vain, and I opened up the prosperous era of Kaiyuan with my own hands. Until one day, I saw her ......" and fell into deep thought, with a look of joy and a smile on her face.

After a long time, he continued: "It was a bright spring day, she was playing in the garden, her shirt and long skirt were slim, and the peach blossoms in the garden could not hide her beautiful beauty, and thousands of butterflies were flying, and it was difficult for her to dance lightly. At that moment, I suddenly felt that I had lived for thousands of years in vain! If I could have her for a day, I would rather give everything! Later, I welcomed her into the palace and gave her all my affection and all my love. Those days were the best times of my life, and although my immortal heart had diminished a lot, I still didn't hesitate to do it! I just hope that the Heavenly Tribulation will come later......

"But one day, the catastrophe finally came! I was not prepared for anything, so I suffered heavy losses, and I had less than one percent of my remaining strength. At that time, the evil spirits rose together and fell into the well. And she indulges in fairy songs every day, ignoring what happened to me. I thought she had changed her mind, so sad, so helpless, seeing the soldiers mutiny, confused for a while, unable to stop, until she looked at me when she was bleeding, that look was so sad, so regretful, so sad and angry, I knew that I was wrong, I loved her a little, she loved me a little. I passed out in a heartache, and I didn't know what was going on. At this he fell silent, his face full of shame.

After waiting for a while, Ye Haotian reminded: "What happened later, why did you come to the tomb?"

Li Longji woke up from his memories: "Later, I was recruited back by the Heavenly Court to inspect my merits and redefine the immortal products. As a result, it can be imagined that not only has the Buddha's mind been reduced to an unimaginable level, but the Divine Pill is only one percent of the original, and it is no longer suitable for living in the heavenly realm, so it has been relegated to the human world. To escape the catastrophe, I locked myself in a tomb. Now that Yuhuan can forgive me, my sins have been lightened a lot. With her praying for me, my number of Buddha hearts will no longer decrease, but will gradually increase. ”

Ye Haotian seemed to understand whether he understood it, knowing that the other party had practiced for thousands of years, and his Shinto knowledge was far better than his own, so he seized the opportunity to ask: "Senior, what is the Buddha's heart, what is the Divine Pill?"

Li Longji glanced at him, as if he blamed him for not knowing this, and then looked at it, Ye Haotian was extremely young, and he clearly looked like he was studying and progressing, so he patiently explained: "The so-called Divine Pill is the crystallization formed in the Mud Pill Palace during cultivation. The Divine Pill is extremely fine and very subtle, and it contains extremely high energy, and the number of the Divine Pill is a sign of a person's skill. The so-called Buddha's heart refers to the Buddha's heart of cultivating real people, that is, the good heart. If you can save the suffering, and if you are born by the common people, you will be grateful to others, and your number of Buddha hearts will increase. ”

Ye Haotian felt very fresh and asked, "Could it be that the Divine Pill and the Buddha's heart can also be measured?"

Li Longji said in a sneering manner: "Yes! Today's court is in charge of the Jade Emperor and the Buddha. Among them, the Jade Emperor was born in Taoism and valued tangible things, especially the number of divine pills, and the Buddha was in charge of the six realms of reincarnation, and valued the level of the Buddha's heart. The Divine Pill has weight, and a penny heavy Divine Pill requires the cultivation of the Sanqing Heavenly Gods for a hundred years, the cultivation of the gods for a thousand years, and the cultivation of the immortals for five thousand years. Cultivating people from the beginning of entering the first realm, the first emperor Huang Zengtian, is counted as officially starting alchemy, and the amount of pills they cultivate for a year is equivalent to one divine pill. And the Buddha heart is measured by the amount of gratitude received from others, and if an ordinary person thanks you once from the bottom of his heart, you have a Buddha heart number. On the other hand, if you kill someone or provoke the hatred of others, your Buddhahood will go down. These are clearly stipulated in the Heavenly Rules. ”

Ye Haotian felt that his mouth suddenly opened, and he asked again: "How can I know what is the number of my Divine Pill and the number of Buddha Hearts? Where can I see the Heavenly Strip?"

Li Longji said with a smile: "After you cultivate to the god and human realm, a golden list will appear in the Mud Pill Palace, with your immortal products, divine pill numbers, and Buddha heart numbers on it. There are no people in the fairy world, because there are too many people in the fairy world, there are many heavenly tribulations, and the immortal products change extremely quickly, so the heavenly court is too lazy to announce it. The complete heavenly strip is engraved on the jade tablet in front of the Heavenly Court Hall, and only the Sanqing Heavenly God can see it with his own eyes. Mortals need the guidance of the gods when they first ascend to the immortal realm, and at that time, there will be immortals who will guide the way to recite the heavenly strips to him. At this point he finally asked, "Is there no one to guide you? Do you want me to recite the rules of heaven to you?" Then you will understand. ”

Ye Haotian bowed and said with a smile: "Here are self-cultivated immortals, and I don't understand many rules. I also invite the seniors to come together and listen to you. ”

Li Longji recited the fairy strip from the beginning, there were more than 5,000 pieces before and after, and it took an hour to memorize it, and finally said: "This is just **, in addition to some small regulations, I only know it after reading it, and I can't remember it clearly." ”

Ye Haotian heard it all over the place, his eyes were full of stars, but fortunately, he remembered it because of his excellent memory, and he finally understood the entire immortal system: "Pangu Emperor incarnated as Sanqing, Sanqing ruled by inaction and did nothing, and delegated power to the Jade Emperor and the Buddha." The Jade Emperor is in charge of all beings in heaven and earth, and the Buddha is in charge of the changes in the six realms of reincarnation. The Jade Emperor and the Buddha reached an agreement through negotiation: the level of the immortals was ultimately determined by the addition of the number of divine pills and the number of Buddha's hearts. The Divine Pill and the Buddha's heart are indispensable, and if there is a Buddha's heart but no Buddha's heart, there is no power to move mountains and reclaim the sea; if there is a Buddha's heart but no Buddha's heart, there is no escape from the punishment of the heavenly calamity. The Heavenly Tribulation is designed to increase the Buddha's heart, and the number of Heavenly Tribulations is related to the number of Buddha's hearts, and the lower the Buddha's heart, the more heavenly tribulations there are. After a catastrophe, immortality will also greatly damage your skills. ”

After thinking about it for a long time, he felt that he had gained a lot. As soon as I looked up, I suddenly saw that the east was white, and the sky was about to dawn, so I had to bow down and say goodbye: "Thank you seniors for your advice!"

Li Longji smiled slightly: "I still want to thank you!

There were still two months before the eighth day of the lunar month, Ye Haotian returned to Yandang and found that the planted immortal grass was still alive, and he couldn't help but be surprised and delighted: "If the immortal grass is multiplied in large quantities, what will Heavenly Court react when it knows about it?"

Then he went to the county several times to discuss with everyone how to make the people's lives better and what ways to make money. The crowd put forward some opinions, including salt drying, silkworm raising, quarrying, aquatic products, etc. After discussing for a long time, it was decided that the focus would be on salt drying and aquatic products.

Ye Haotian instructed Wang Ji to apply to the Wenzhou prefect for the right to dry salt and sell it, and find some experienced fish and crab masters, so that they could sum up their experience and prepare to pass it on to everyone.

A few days later, the salt and aquatic products were both eyebrows, and everyone was very happy.

When all affairs were in order, and the people's lives were steaming, suddenly someone sent a messenger to the Ministry of Officials, and when Ye Haotian came to see it, he saw that it was written: "The Ministry of Officials is examined, Li Hao of Yueqing County has a good way of governing the government, and the people love him, and he should be promoted, except for the Jiujiang Prefect of Jiangxi Province." ”

When everyone found out, they all gathered around, and Wang Ji said, "My lord, congratulations on your promotion to the prefect, but we are reluctant to let you go!"

Ye Haotian was also a little uneasy in his heart: "How can you run so far at once? I can't even go back to Yandang's home every day! But the appointment has come, and I can't help but take office." Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, and then looked at everyone and sighed: "Since the county took office, everyone has worked hard! Today, we will rest early, and the county will treat you, and all the personnel will rest when they are drunk." Someone immediately ran out to arrange it.

An hour later, more than 100 people came to the largest "Lecheng Restaurant" in the county, and they raised their glasses for him. Ye Haotian was ready to do it, and he exhorted everyone a few words, and finally said: "The Yueqing city wall is strong, the militia is well-trained, and the Japanese are not afraid. The sea pond has been completed, the land has increased, and there is food and clothing. If the salt farms are opened up more widely and aquatic products are cultivated, they should be able to get rich. ”

Everyone thanked him for the good he had done for the county, and everyone drank a few more glasses, and as a result, half of the hundred or so people were drunk.

When he came out of the restaurant, the street was full of people. Someone shouted with tears in their eyes: "Take care, your lord, all the way up!" and some people knelt directly on the ground and kowtowed. Everyone looked at him reluctantly. Ye Haotian waved goodbye to everyone, and he was also very excited in his heart, and he walked for more than half an hour in just a few hundred zhang.

Back in Yandang, Lan'er had just done the exercises, and seeing that his expression was different, she asked, "Is there anything wrong with the son?"

Ye Haotian pretended to be calm and said: "I have been promoted, promoted to the prefect of Jiujiang Mansion, and I am the fifth grade." ”

Lan'er looked sad, took his arm and said, "It's nothing to be promoted." But it's a bit reluctant to leave here. ”

Ye Haotian felt the same way: "Time flies so fast, it's been more than two years in the blink of an eye, don't say it's a fairyland on earth, even if it's a pig's kennel and a dog's kennel, it's hard to give up." But don't worry, you and I have made great progress, and a thousand-mile journey is nothing. After ten days and a half months, I will come back for two days, and there should be no problem. ”

Lan'er packed her luggage, touched and put down a lot of things, and didn't know what to bring.

Ye Haotian laughed: "Don't bring anything! This is still our home, just like today's saints, there are countless palaces when we go out, so let's use this as a palace." ”

Lan'er shook her head slightly, and muttered, "Where can I still find such an immortal residence!"

Ye Haotian comforted her and said: "The land of Shenzhou is beautiful everywhere, and there should still be a fairyland." Let's go find out. ”

The two stayed in Yanhu Lake for another two days, enjoying the autumn breeze and sunshine, the lake and the mountains, and then decided to go to Jiujiang Mansion in advance to have a look, and settle down in their new home by the way.

Jiujiang Mansion is adjacent to Poyang Lake in the east, the Yangtze River in the north, the Mufu Mountains in the west, and the Lushan Mountain in the south, and has jurisdiction over five counties: Pengze, De'an, Duchang, Wuning and Xiushui. During the Spring and Autumn Period, it belonged to the east of Wu and the west of Chu, and was known as "the head of Wu and the tail of Chu". Ye Haotian has confidence in governing such a place.

Lan Er Yungong hid the peerless elegance, followed him around Jiujiang City for a day, interviewed many literati and scholars, and only then did he know that this time he had arrived at the Feng Shui treasure land of outstanding people. Jiujiang not only produced celebrities such as Tao Yuanming and Huang Tingjian, but also attracted poetry giants such as Xie Lingyun, Li Bai, Bai Juyi, and Su Shi, and also cultivated famous monks such as Huiyuan and Lu Dongbin.

In order to find the immortal residence, the two went to Lushan, and looked at the cloud-filled Dahanyang Peak, Wulao Peak, Xianglu Peak, and then saw the Sandi Spring, Shimen Stream, Sanbaoshu, Longtan Waterfall, and felt that the scenery was indeed extremely beautiful, especially the Pokou between the Wulao Peak and the Jiuqi Peak, and you could take in the panoramic view of Poyang Lake. Unfortunately, there are too many people here, and it is not suitable for building a house and settling down. If you put down a large array to keep people out, it will inevitably be a bit shocking.

Lan'er raised her eyebrows and said, "Childe, where is your new home?"

Ye Haotian thought for a while and said, "Why don't we live in Jiujiang City?"

Lan'er pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "It's okay." ”

The two of them walked around the city, and when they walked to the south of the city, they saw a courtyard of red bricks and green tiles, hidden in the middle of the bamboo forest, with a few weeping willows planted next to the door, and a sign hanging next to the tree, which read: "The house is for sale, and the silver is 100,000 yuan, and it is cheap." "It's been two months since I saw the payment, and the price is probably too expensive, so no one cares.

Ye Haotian stepped forward to knock on the door, but when the door opened, a scribe in his thirties walked out.

Ye Haotian noticed that the person's appearance was extraordinary, but his expression was a little dark, and he immediately said: "Excuse me, sir, we want to see the house, and if we are satisfied, we will buy it." ”

The man saw that the two were well-dressed and had a calm demeanor, so he hurriedly invited the two of them in, and introduced them as they walked.

Ye Haotian and Lan'er followed him all the way, and found that the courtyard was not big or small, very elegant, and there were three houses from front to back, each with its own courtyard. The innermost courtyard of the inner house is obviously larger, with a few pear trees, a few begonias, and a flower garden in which dozens of juhua flowers are in full bloom.

Seeing this, Lan'er couldn't help but nodded.

Ye Haotian also liked it very much, and said in his mouth: "'Picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, leisurely see Nanshan. 'The grounds are nice. ”

But the man said, "'The rain hits the pear blossom and closes the door.'" When the pear blossoms bloom, the garden is snow-white, which is more emotional. Although it is an introduction to the beautiful scenery of the courtyard, the voice is very sad and sad.

Ye Haotian said: "I bought this house, but I have a few questions I want to ask." Please don't blame you, sir. ”

The man nodded silently.

Ye Haotian said: "I don't know why Mr. sold this house? It can be seen that Mr. has a lot of feelings for this house." A gentleman does not take away the love of others, and please explain a little bit from Mr. ”

The man stopped talking, and said lightly: "Things are not people, touching the scene is sad, it is useless to stay, it is better to sell it." ”

Ye Haotian asked: "Why do you ask for 100,000 pieces of silver?" Mr. has something unspeakably hidden, he is not a bandit below, but please don't worry." ”

The man's face was melancholy, he pondered for a long time, looked up and saw Ye Haotian and Lan'er's sincere and concerned eyes, so he replied: "This house was built by my father thirty years ago, and I have lived here for twenty years, getting married, studying books, playing games, and enjoying flowers. The lady is a childhood sweetheart. Ten years ago, I went to Beijing to pass the Jinshi examination, but I was taken captive on the way home to save my relatives, and I was stranded and stranded abroad, and I did not escape until three months ago. However...... However, things are not people, only a poem left by the lady: 'The warbler and tears on the branches, the old cry marks between the new cry marks; Without a word, to Fang Zun, arrange for the intestines to be broken until dusk; Speaking of this, the man's voice was intermittent, almost choked, and he paused for a moment before he said hatefully: "I have several classmates who have joined the army, and I want to use this silver to move up and down, to see if I can borrow a soldier and horse, get rid of the evil spirit, and take revenge." ”

Ye Haotian looked at him for a long time, understood that he was a scholar with many disasters, and felt sorry in his heart, and said: "One hundred thousand lines of silver is not a problem, but with all due respect, your method of revenge seems to be difficult to implement." To tell you the truth, here is the new prefect of Jiujiang, you may wish to tell me in detail about the situation, and wait for me to see what the best plan is. As he spoke, he took out the paperwork from his sleeve and handed it to the other party.

The man took the paperwork and carefully identified it, then returned it with both hands, and invited the two to sit on the stone bench in the garden, and then gathered his thoughts and said something.
