Chapter 478: Growth
Ten years are like a day, Ning Wuqian and his family quietly lived in Saga City in Wusi Tibet, and ten years passed slowly.
For Ning Wuji's family, this is a quiet and peaceful decade, ordinary life, but can let the family enjoy warmth and happiness, when the power reaches a certain level, but envy the ordinary life, this is almost every living thing, the food is always the delicious in other people's bowls.
In the past ten years, the only time Ning Wujian left Sachar City was the time when he went to the Lion Camel Country to pay homage to the Golden-winged Dapeng King.
The Lion Camel Country is now second only to the Demon League in Xiniu Hezhou, especially the Golden-winged Dapeng King, who was born extraordinary, has a noble background, and has made friends with many strong people, that is, the West Heaven Buddhism, and there are also strong people who appear to pay homage to it.
The Golden-winged Dapeng King did not mention the matter of the Peacock Princess, and only regarded Ning Wuqian as an ordinary guest, as if nothing had happened, the Golden-winged Dapeng King did not make trouble, and Ning Wuqian would not be bored with himself.
A few years ago, the owner of the palace admired the prosperity of Dongsheng Shenzhou, got the guidance of the nobles, and moved away from Saga with his family, and the palace naturally did not exist, and the newly moved family was not rich, but a down-and-out family, almost rarely went out, and did not deal with neighbors, and over time, people forgot that there were still people living in the house.
In Blacksmith Li's family, the two eldest sons have already married daughters-in-law, the eldest child can even walk, and the third Li Bai is now a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, Li Blacksmith's favorite is still Li Bai, who regards him as the hope of the rise of the Li family for him to study, and now Li Bai is going to school in the official school, and further, he is a member of the official family.
Blacksmith Lee is already old. Gray-haired, he sat outside the blacksmith shop every day, basking in the sun, greeting the neighbors who came in to buy ironware, and sometimes he would come to Ning Wuqian to drink, but because of drinking all year round, his body had already been hollowed out, and Blacksmith Li was already too strong to drink, and a few glasses of wine went down. began to tell the history of the Li family.
Widow Zhang has also become a middle-aged woman, wrinkles climbed up her brows, and the years have left traces, but the cloth she weaves is becoming more and more exquisite, even the Hundred Flowers Fairy will see it, and she will also admire, saying that it can be compared to the Weaver Girl, the Peacock Fairy and Widow Zhang learn to weave, and they can be regarded as some true legends. At least, the clothing fabrics of Ning Wuji's family were all embroidered by her.
And Zhang Xuan, the son of Widow Zhang, is the same as Li Bai. is also studying in the official school, even if it is a few people left by the Wang family, the most outstanding students taught by Ning Wujian are these two people, which is enough to be proud.
Early morning. Ning Wuqian still has a fortune-telling stall outside his home, and for ten years, his fortune-telling skills are no longer the same as they were ten years ago. is only a blessing and a curse, as long as it is not a person with extreme fate, Ning Wuqian can generally speculate seven or eight.
Two seventeen or eighteen-year-old boys wearing Confucian robes returned together, today is the time for the official school holiday, Zhang Xuan and Li Bai will go home for a meal, and when they saw Ning Wujian, both of them came over and saluted respectfully.
"Teacher!"
Li Bai is quite arrogant and talented, while Zhang Xuan is more calm and a little wooden, which can be reflected in the faces, dresses, and temperament of the two.
Ning Wuqian glanced at them and bowed slightly, "Are you back?"
"Yes, Teacher!"
Li Bai smiled and walked home quickly, while Zhang Xuan looked serious and walked towards home step by step.
In the afternoon, the stall was closed, Ning Wuqian went home, the Hundred Flowers Fairy was teaching two children to read and write in the bookstore, and now Ning Feng and Ning Ying are ten years old, and they are gradually showing their extraordinary, unforgettable, naturally intelligent, and can be called a prodigy.
Seeing Ning Wuqian go home, the Hundred Flowers Fairy stopped teaching, Ning Feng and Ning Ying all cheered, dropped the pen in their hands, and ran out of the yard to play, there were some toys in the yard, and there were swings, Ning Feng was doing his own carpentry recently, and Ning Ying was climbing on the swing and letting Ning Wuji, who was going home, take her to play.
Taking advantage of this time, the Hundred Flowers Fairy went to the kitchen to cook, and soon, the sunset was about to set, and the Peacock Fairy came back from Widow Zhang's house, and the Hundred Flowers Fairy beckoned the family to eat.
After dinner, Li Bai and Zhang Xuan came from home, as their enlightenment teachers, Ning Wuqian won the respect of the two, every time he came back, he didn't understand in the official school, or heard something, or encountered something, he would come to Ning Wuqian for advice.
After cleaning up the dinner table, the Hundred Flowers Fairy and the Peacock Fairy took Ning Ying and Ning Feng to the neighborhood, Li Bai and Zhang Xuan sat down at the table and told Ning Wuqian some of the things they heard in the official school, or asked for some opinions.
Unlike Blacksmith Li and Widow Zhang, the years do not seem to have left any traces on Ning Wuji, the Hundred Flowers Fairy, and the Peacock Fairy, Ning Wuqian is still the same Ning Wuqian ten years ago, there is no change, every time they come back and see Ning Wuji's almost unchanged face, Li Bai and Zhang Xuan will be surprised.
"Recently, some Taoist people from Dongsheng Shenzhou have come to the palace, and it seems that they are preparing to build a Taoist temple in Sachar City, and after obtaining the king's recognition, the prime minister vigorously opposed. Li Bai said.
"It's normal for Cheng to be the opposite, he advocates Confucianism, and he promotes Confucianism in Saganei, and if he builds a Taoist temple and allows these Taoist priests to preach here, it will challenge Confucianism. Zhang Xuandao.
"Moreover, now that our dynasty is under the protection of the Black Wind Mountain, those Taoists are preaching the slogan of eliminating demons and defending the way and killing demons in the court, which has aroused the opposition of many courtiers. ”
Li Bai took over and continued, "They are going to bring the Dongsheng Shenzhou to Xiniu Hezhou to expand the Taoist system, and they have received the support of many courtiers, and the Black Wind Mountain has always been the power of the Demon King, because the strength of the Wusi Tibetan State is weak, and they have to be attached to the Black Wind Mountain, presumably the king is also very unwilling, right?"
"Not only that, I heard that in Wusi Tibet, many businessmen from Dongsheng Shenzhou are preaching the prosperity and wealth of Dongsheng Shenzhou, and preaching that there are no demons under the governance of Dongsheng Shenzhou, so that many people have successively invested in Taoism, Taoist temples have been built in many places, and even many Buddhist temples have been changed to Taoist temples, and many monks have also become Taoist priests. ”
Listening to the two students talking about national affairs, Ning Wuqian frowned slightly, the Buddhist Gate did not go east, but the Daomen went west first?
"Where did you hear about this?" Ning Wuqian asked.
Li Bai and Zhang Xuan saw that Ning Wuqian was also interested, and hurriedly said, "It's the teachers in the official school who talk about it in their spare time, and many officials are talking about it in private, and we also see that there are often Taoist people in and out of the palace." ”
"I heard that the queen is quite trustworthy, and it seems that she is suspected of reusing these Taoist priests, but unfortunately, she was blocked by the prime minister, and the key to this matter depends on the king!" Li Bai often participates in some poetry meetings, and knows some news about the side doors, and the city of Saga is so big, sometimes the king entered the concubine's house last night, and the next day it will become the reason for the conversation of the people in the streets and alleys.
There is no wind and no waves, Ning Wuqian smiled faintly, "What does the king think?"
"This is not very clear, the king has not yet expressed his position, but I heard that those Taoist priests boasted at a courtiers' banquet that as long as they waited a little longer, why should they be afraid of any Black Wind Mountain. Li Bai replied.
Ning Wuqian became a little interested, and said curiously, "What is the origin of those Taoist priests, and what kind of Taoist priests are they?"
"It seems that there is a Taoist priest of Xuanxin Dao, and a Taoist of Fang Immortal Dao......"
Xuanxin Dao, Fang Xiandao?
Ning Wuqian showed a smile, he is really an old enemy, could it be that the righteous path of Dongsheng Shenzhou is united, and he is ready to take advantage of the crisis of Buddhism to go west to cause some trouble to Buddhism, or is it that Daomen wants to take the demon clan to open the knife?
Li Bai and Zhang Xuan said goodbye and left, Ning Wuqian got up and walked out of the house, stood in the courtyard, looked up at the starry sky, the stars were swaying, and suddenly, the wind rose, blowing a cloud, covering the starry sky.
The Peacock Fairy and the Hundred Flowers Fairy came back with Ning Feng and Ning Ying, and when they saw Ning Wuqian standing in the courtyard, Ning Ying ran over, "Father, father, what are you looking at?"
Saying that, I also looked up, but unfortunately, the sky was covered by dark clouds, and it was pitch black, and the little girl stuck out her tongue, "It's so dark!"
"Hehe, it's a dark cloud, and after the dark cloud, there will be stars, twinkle and twinkle. Ning Wuqian smiled and touched the little girl's head, the dark clouds in the sky slowly drifted away, the wisps of starlight hung down, and the bright moonlight shone.
"Wow, it's so beautiful, can you take off that star?" the little girl looked at the starry sky, "I'm going to pick one and put it at the head of the bed, so that Yingying won't be afraid of the dark!"
"Stars can't be picked, they look small, but they are all so big and big, and there are immortals living on them!" Ning Feng also looked at the sky and taught his sister a very serious lesson, "Look at that one, it's called the Cowherd Star, and that one is the Vega Star, have you heard the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl?"
The little girl shook her head, Ning Feng pointed to the stars proudly and said, "Once upon a time, ......"
Ning Wuqian glanced at the two children together, smiled slightly, looked at the Hundred Flowers Fairy and the Peacock Fairy, and said lightly, "In a few days, we may have to leave......"
"Is it okay?" The Hundred Flowers Fairy looked at Ning Feng and Ning Ying, "They are only ten years old, they are still young, isn't it too early?"
"Mother, I'm not small, I have a lot of strength!" Ning Feng, who was telling Ning Ying the story he heard from Ning Wuji, interjected, and after speaking, he waved his fist, looking very powerful.
Ning Ying also nodded vigorously on the side, "I'm not too young, I can make egg fried rice......"
"Hehehe......"
Ning Wuji, the Hundred Flowers Fairy, and the Peacock Fairy were amused and laughed, they were still young, so they naturally didn't understand, sometimes, when they grew up, it was a kind of sorrow.
Being teased by this, the Hundred Flowers Fairy's worries dissipated a lot, and Chao Ning Wuqian bowed slightly, she knew that there must be something going on in Black Wind Mountain that would make Ning Wuqian decide in advance, and sometimes, she just needs to support it.
The wind will rise!
The dull chapters have passed, and today is one less update, and a new plot is conceived, the Journey to the West disappears, and the next is a bigger stage, surging changes! (To be continued......)
