Chapter 38 Tricks
The night of the Siyue Imperial Capital has always been a rare beautiful scenery, with colorful lanterns all night long, and candles busy with livelihood, which add up to thousands of lights. The upper one is looking for joy and lingering in the wind and moon, and the lower one is happy and hard in the market, Siyue is the rich, and the people who are really poor and miserable only account for a very few, and the bitterness is a little hard, gritting his teeth or being able to go on, if the children of the family are in and out, then there is hope for this bitter haha life. The middle category is a well-off person who is one line higher than those who only care about food and clothing, a few acres of fertile land or a shop, Ji Lingsheng doesn't like this kind of person the most, he just gets together to talk about the east and the west when he has nothing to do, most of the rumors in the city are from it, and Ji Lingsheng, who has a handle, naturally hates it.
In fact, this is also human nature, people live for a hundred years, either busy living, or idle death.
I remember that a hundred years ago, Siyue did not have a rich scene, and the foundation left by Taizu was only an empty shelf of foreign power and middle cadres, but a hundred years ago, the six countries in the south actually set off a chaotic war for no reason, except for the westernmost Western Zhou, which was alone, and the general trend of the world that maintained a thousand years was burned clean by the war.
Siyue's rise is attributed to the chaotic war of the countries, the biggest hero is the old and strong Ji Changfeng, the old general whose reputation overshadows the emperor also knows that his merits are high, so he handed over the tiger charm to protect the beauty of the monarch and ministers, and his generals were also sent to the border territory intentionally or unintentionally, and then directly unloaded the armor and returned home to wait for the birth of his grandson, the Ji family who thought that he was relaxed was still not peaceful, Ji Lingsheng died of dystocia before he opened his eyes after he was born, and at the same time, a big girl who had served for many years also committed suicide, and there was a letter in his hand when he died, detailing when and where he poisoned the diet of the young grandmother of the Ji family and the guilt in his heart was difficult to thank himself, and the natural disaster turned into a man-made disaster for no reason, The letter did not mention anything about the mastermind behind the scenes, and Ji Changfeng only knew everything in his soul search, and Ji Jinning became Ji Lingsheng because of this.
After Ji Lingsheng was born, there were no disasters and no diseases, and it was not a big deal to put only a trace of cultivation foundation in ordinary people's homes, and it was a notoriety if it fell into the Ji family who made a career in cultivation, it can be said that the Ji family has become more and more declining over the years and Ji Lingsheng can't escape it.
At this time, the moonlight was just right, and Ji Lingsheng had no sleep, staring at the roof in a daze.
Early the next morning.
"Young master, get up!", Bai Yue came to the place where he would come first after waking up every day, and walked around the dark room, Bai Yue still didn't find his young master, so he carefully cleaned up the bed, and then put it into the sunlight to remove the turbidity and moisture in the house.
Turning Ji Mansion up and down, Bai Yue also went to Ji Changfeng to ask around, Ji Changfeng only sighed and said probably, and he couldn't tell where this little bastard had gone. Bai Yue was even more worried, went to the kitchen to prepare a meal and put it in the food box, and then Bai Yue, who was full of disappointment, came to the door of Ji's mansion with a worried face, sat on the threshold, supported her chin with both hands, and looked into the distance stupidly, "Young master, where have you been?"
On the mountainside of Siyue Peak, Ji Lingsheng wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and took a few breaths. Ji Lingsheng, who hadn't slept all night, got up from the bed at dawn, pondering to get out and breathe, and finally came here unconsciously.
There is also a strange thing at the foot of the mountain, Ji Lingsheng met a black-faced monk head-on, and he didn't know whether he was talking about such a profound Buddhism, and what opportunities there were in the bowl, but he looked at the little monk sweeping the floor in the temple in the distance with reverence in his eyes, and he must be a high-ranking monk. But the black-faced monk who had no purpose ate the leopard's gall, and came up, "Donor, the poor monk looks at your eyebrows and black gas, I'm afraid that something bad is coming", Ji Gongzi, who is usually hippie and smiling, may still smile and ask why he is here, and now he is depressed in his heart, and he doesn't give a good face at all, and he takes a detour.
Legend has it that the black-faced monk with great knowledge of Buddhism had to stand at the foot of the mountain and sigh again.
After a short rest, Ji Lingsheng walked towards the top of the mountain with lead-filled steps. The mountain is very high, and the road is also very long, but fortunately, there is a direction, which is much better than making Ji Lingsheng uncomfortable for a night and not figuring out the problem of whether to cultivate or not.
When he came to the top of the mountain, he was exhausted, Ji Lingsheng was happy in his heart, and his chest was full of courage, and he actually scolded a few words of thief God in his mouth. After scolding happily, Ji Lingsheng found a place to sit down on the cliff that looked down the straightest.
Ji Lingsheng picked up a stone casually and threw it down the cliff with all his might, and the stone floated away in the wind. Ji Lingsheng sighed, took out an object from his arms, it was a medicine bottle containing broken marrow, held the medicine bottle in his hand, and wanted to throw it out several times but took it back.
After carefully examining Shang Zhengliang's painstaking medicine bottle, he finally put it back in his arms properly, and then squinted at the foot of the mountain.
Staying at the top of the mountain until noon, Ji Lingsheng went straight to the Snow Jade Pavilion.
"Uncle!" Bao'er happily snatched the sugar gourd that Ji Lingsheng bought on the road, this girl is always a string of sugar gourds for a day's smiling face, and the rest of the time is very indifferent.
Ji Lingsheng touched the little girl's head, and instigated like a trafficker and asked, "Bao'er, where is your Aunt Xue?"
Ji Lingsheng looked up and saw that Xue Yu was looking at him with a smile.
"As long as you instigate Bao'er to call you uncle, this shout, my Snow Jade Pavilion's business has dropped by thirty percent. Xue Yu, who fell into the copper coin hole and couldn't climb out, said with a flattery between his eyebrows, Ji Lingsheng listened to Yiren's witticism, and his bones immediately lightened a few taels, and he lay comfortably on the chair, pouting and said: "That's what I was shouting about, and besides, in order to please that little girl, I spent a lot of effort, how can I not ask for some interest from you?"
Xue Yu rolled her eyes and quipped: "How can the big man who dares to contradict His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have time to come to me?", Ji Lingsheng didn't know that this had become an interesting anecdote that had gone viral in two days, and said suspiciously: "You went?", Xue Yu shook her head and said bluntly: "No, but the movement you made is not small, and those big kids downstairs admire you for following the fairy characters." ”
Ji Lingsheng stopped talking, and looked up at the roof in a daze. Xue Yu walked up to him and sat down, held his hand, and asked softly, "Why can't you even see a smiling face, my eldest son Ji." ”
Ji Lingsheng clenched a delicate handful in his hand, was silent for a while, and suddenly said, "Have you ever had the idea that you shouldn't have been born in the world?", Xue Yuxiu frowned slightly, a little stunned, and finally shook her head and said something.
"Oh?" Ji Lingsheng turned his head sideways, saw the resentment in Xue Yu's eyes, and didn't ask, just gently hugged Yiren into his arms and stroked Xue Yu's hair.
Xue Yu, who looked lost, buried her head on Ji Lingsheng's shoulder, and said softly: "My mother is a famous beauty in ten miles and eight towns, and her background is not bad, and her family has found a good home. But she was too stupid, she waited for someone for ten years, but she didn't see her until she died. ”
Ji Lingsheng was stunned when he heard this, and asked softly, "Do you hate him?"
Xue Yu raised her head, her eyes had a sad scenery after a long period of rain, and she laughed miserably: "Hate, why don't you hate? When my mother died, I knew that he was nearby, but he didn't come out until my mother closed her eyes." What I hate most is not his ruthless way of making my mother die, but since he is bent on demanding his heavenly way, then why do you want to mess with my mother?"
Ji Lingsheng was silent, only to understand that every family had a scripture that was difficult to read, and he thought that he was a poor person, but it was just hypocrisy.
Xue Yu, who quickly wiped away her sorrow, wiped away her tears from Ji Lingsheng's shoulder, and said with a tearful smile: "These are all passing clouds, it's not interesting to mention it again, but how can you have such a question?", knowing Xue Yu's disgust for the monk, Ji Lingsheng hid in his heart and hesitated to spit out, Xue Yu couldn't stand the concealment of the people around him the most, seeing that Ji Lingsheng was still silent, his heart was bitter.
Seeing the faint fire of Xue Yu revealed between his eyebrows, Ji Lingsheng pondered it and asked, "If I become a monk, what will happen to you?"
The shopkeeper of the Snow Jade Pavilion, who hated monks to the core, was stunned, and there was not much panic, and he did not answer positively, and said: "Aren't you determined to be a young man who has been free for a hundred years, how do you want to practice and become an immortal who is out of the world?"
Ji Lingsheng, who was slightly surprised when he didn't hear the sharp conflict, smiled bitterly and sighed: "Who can say this thing clearly." ”
Xue Yu nodded, restrained her demeanor, and asked seriously, "Do you really want to learn?"
"I used to think about it, especially when I was a child, I just dreamed about it at that time, but now I ······ it." , Ji Lingsheng looked hesitant, and stopped talking.
Xue Yu, who had a vague position, did not persuade her, let alone instigate it, but just squeezed the delicate body that half of the men in the entire Siyue City had thought about into Ji Lingsheng's arms, her eyes were like condensed waves, and she smiled softly: "If you really go to cultivate, I won't be annoyed with you, if you don't go back, I will wait for you for a few more years, if you become an immortal, I will become an immortal girl, and you shouldn't be able to get rid of me in this life." ”
Ji Lingsheng clasped his arms slightly, stared at the eyes of the person in his arms, and asked softly, "Don't you hate monks?"
Xue Yu changed to a more comfortable position and lay down, and said with a slight smile: "I hate that person not because I have lost a father since I was a child, but because he has lost my mother, if you feel guilty, it is just a loss to me, and my mother can't care about it if she knows it." Even if there was a day, I would admit it. ”
Ji Lingsheng smiled, aren't you cheating?
