Next Chapter

Jinzhou should be the most beautiful and soft place in Daxia, far away from the war, just like the waist of the little lady who can be seen everywhere by the river, and the soft can pinch out the water!

At this time, it was the time of June, the day had just entered the plum, and the continuous rainy weather locked people in their homes, and today the official road has lost the bustling scene of the past, and it has become sparsely populated.

Under the rain curtain, there is a small teahouse standing alone on the side of the road, and the sign at the door that reads "Three Days of Tea Fragrance" is listlessly pulled, indicating that the business in the store is also very poor, and there is a shopkeeper in his early teens, sleepy-eyed with his chin in his hand, wandering out of the world.

Jinzhou is located in the southern coastal land of Daxia, June is the hot time, the shopkeeper is dressed in a plain gray shirt, but under the slightly closed eyes there is a calmness that ordinary peers do not have, from time to time to glance at the direction of the inner room, see the shopkeeper's little daughter open the curtain and walk out of it, quickly come back to her senses, so as not to be reprimanded again.

For as long as he can remember, he has longed for two things in this world the most, one is the battlefield in the Western Frontier that occasionally passes by here to rest and rest the travelers talk about, and the other is the little girl who is now teaching him desertion, he is afraid of her, but also loves her.

This place is not far from Jiangling, the capital of Jinzhou, about 30 miles of road, generally travelers to Jiangling will rest here, drink tea, often there are Jiangling city in the fresh clothes of the noble son of the horse, there is talk and laughter, passing by here together, Jinzhou is the birthplace of Confucianism, so the fragrance of the book is extremely heavy, up to the famous nobles, down to the common people all abide by etiquette, meet the rude Northwest high-rollers will also secretly say in their hearts: "Northwest barbarians, do not know the general situation!"

Today may be the dragon king's anger, the rain is too big, pouring down from the sky, the prodigal son in the city has no interest in the past, otherwise with the little daughter of the shopkeeper, the young master who comes to the teahouse every day to offer hospitality is always in an endless stream, but the shopkeeper still instinctively feels that something is wrong, the air around seems to be solidified, the birdsong that should have been, the sound of insects and cicadas all disappeared, only the sound of rain ringing in his ears.

Dian Xiaoer knows that he is different from others, in addition to not forgetting, but also has a natural intuition for danger, according to the old gentleman who lives in the nearby school, he is a natural darling of the Dao, and His Royal Highness are two extremes, the Dian Xiaoer does not understand what the concept of the so-called darling of the Cultivator is, but at this moment his skin has begun to stingle slightly, looking up at the road in the distance, his pupils shrank fiercely.

A group of black dots appeared from the end, and as soon as they appeared, they disappeared directly from his field of vision, and disappeared in a flash! Then the wind blew fiercely, the rain splashed everywhere, and the small teahouse made an overwhelmed clucking sound under the impact of the wind and rain!

The shopkeeper got up and blocked the little girl, letting the wind and rain wet the clothes all over his body, he looked at the hussars in the distance, narrowed his eyes, he recognized this famous cavalry, black armor and black helmets, mount wings, back wings, tiger head and horse body beast grasp, good at resisting the wind.

One of the four armies in Great Xia, the Phantom Wing Army, the speed of the attack, no one in the world can beat it!

From the small teahouse along this official road to the east, there is an inconspicuous fork, divided into two roads, the big road leads directly to Gangneung City, cars and horses and pedestrians are continuous, and the small road is inaccessible.

At the end of the path is a school, it is class time, from the school came the sound of reading aloud, the sound is immature, all of them are small points of nearby farmers, the age is still shallow, Jiangling City is too far away, it happens that there is an old Confucian student who opened a school here, and the nearby farmers will send their little babies here, and so on when they are older, it depends on their creation, go to Jiangling City to seek some skills, or go to the army to fight with foreign races, if there is talent to be included in the Taoist Palace, or other sects, and then luck is better to enter the initial realm, lead the vitality of heaven and earth into the body, and then have a different life。

But those who are too far away from the little ones at this time, the continuous rainy weather, make their heads dizzy, the article said by the gentleman in front of the desk is like a little song sung by A-Niang before going to bed, listening to it makes people sleepy, if it weren't for a sneak glance at the burly man sitting at the door of the school, looking at his fierce face and bright bald head, I was afraid, those bold little babies probably had already dozed off.

They are not afraid of the little gentleman who teaches, even if they make mistakes, the little gentleman never scolds them, and even helps to say a few good words.

Half a day later, Mr. Xiao finished explaining this Taoism, then waved his hand to let these little people go home for lunch, and began to clean up the things on the desk, there were very few objects, a book of Taoism, a ruler, a cup of tea, but Mr. Xiao cleaned up very seriously, in the past three years, he has placed the desk neatly every time, and wiped it spotlessly.

After cleaning up, the little gentleman drank the tea in the cup and walked out of the school, the big man silently held up an umbrella and followed behind him, and the two walked up the bluestone steps, and then turned into a grass hut.

The smell of tea in the grass house is permeated, there is an old gentleman is making tea, the old gentleman's sideburns are snow-white, but his face is ruddy, he is dressed in a simple robe, and a wooden hairpin is inserted in his hair at will, and his hands for making tea are as tender as a baby.

The little gentleman bent down to the old gentleman and saluted, and then walked to the other side of the tea table, the two sat opposite each other, the little gentleman's eyes were pure, staring at the old gentleman's hands making tea, and frowned, because he felt that the master's qi and blood were too vigorous today, which was abnormal.

The old gentleman took the lead in opening his mouth: "Your Highness, when the previous dynasty was in turmoil, the foreign race invaded south, the vast land of Shenzhou fell apart, and the fourteen clans surnamed Ying conquered each other, and finally your Zhao clan relied on the mountains and seas and the four armies of Zhusun, Tianwu, Shenwei, and Youyi to establish the Great Xia Dynasty, do you know how many of the fourteen clans still exist now?"

"The fourteenth family surnamed Ying, the Qin family and the Qin family of the Tan family, the Ju family, and the Qiu family were almost killed and injured in the battle of Dingding, and there is little bloodline, the Xu family, the Zhongli family, the Jiang family, and the Hu Lian family are now divided into various states, and the rest of the clans have entered the Liang family into the Bing Sect, and the Bai Ming clan has established the Hades Sect, and the Huang family and the Xiuyu clan are nowhere to be found, and it is said that they went overseas and settled on the islands of the East China Sea, as for the Yun Xiang clan!"

Mr. Xiao paused slightly at this point, and then continued: "Fifteen years ago, the Yun Xiang clan rebelled to the Sun Empire. ”

The old gentleman nodded, poured the boiled tea into the cup, motioned for the little gentleman to drink tea, and spoke slowly, but this time his voice was a little gloomy: "Your father was also my most proud student during his lifetime, but he died in the battle of Yulong Pass when the Yunxi clan rebelled, and the world said that the former prince Zhao Jing did not cultivate the royal road and cultivated the benevolent road, but was dragged down by the people in the city, guarded the gate for three days, and died of exhaustion, if it is you, why do you think so?"

The little gentleman put down the teacup, thought for a moment, looked up at the old gentleman's deep eyes, and said, "The student didn't think about it. ”

The old gentleman laughed loudly when he heard this, and the air seemed to tremble: " I didn't think about it, the old man waited for you to tell me the answer, not long after you were born, your father came to me with you to heal, you saw Huang Ting's Xingchensha and stuffed it into your arms, I knew that you were different, I knew what you wanted to need, you were born with body muscles and veins like a sieve, you couldn't lock the vitality of heaven and earth at all, and you couldn't cultivate the Tao, but your spirit was extremely strong, and you could easily feel the avenue of heaven and earth, and this Xingchensha was the most suitable for you. ”

After hearing this, the little gentleman turned his head to look at the middle-aged man who stood next to the bald man at the door, and lowered his head for the first time, his face was slightly shy.

The old gentleman took a sip of tea and continued: "In a blink of an eye, His Royal Highness has reached the age of the crown, and he will go to Shenjing to perform the crown ceremony, the road is far away, I am afraid that it is not very peaceful, His Royal Highness should be more careful, and the old man will have a few words of nagging before leaving." ”

After hearing this, the little gentleman got up and walked to the old gentleman and bowed to the ground: "Please teach the master." ”

The old gentleman smiled and touched the little gentleman's head and said: "Your Highness, you are what I look at growing so big, I have lived for too long, and I have seen too many corpses all over the field, and the people are not happy, I really don't want the year of disaster to come again, now the vast land of Shenzhou is divided into two, the dynasty has been fighting in the west and the Sun Empire for many years, not to mention, there are ten thousand beasts and no territory in the north, and the sea clan is plundering along the coast in the east. Domineering, the emperor road is unique outside the royal road, but now, even if it is for the sake of the vast land of Shenzhou and the hundreds of millions of people in Great Xia, I implore His Highness to think twice in case of trouble, and do not raise troops lightly. ”

After speaking, the old gentleman slowly pressed his hand on the top of the little gentleman's head, as if he had touched it kindly countless times for more than ten years, and the smile on his face was kind and serene.

A milky white essence passed through the grass hut and went straight to the sky, and the downpour in the sky rolled back directly upward, and even the dark clouds were broken through a huge hole, forming a strange vacuum zone, and a ray of sunlight shone down, like a miracle, at the same time, all the Taoist theories in Jiangling City and the surrounding area for thousands of miles were automatically turned over, and the mounts, livestock, and exotic beasts all turned their heads towards the grass hut, and their front legs knelt on the ground.

On the fifth day of the sixth month of the eighty-ninth year of the Great Xia calendar, the master burned his blood and forcibly stepped into the land fairy realm, becoming the first Confucian saint since the opening of the Great Xia Dynasty. On the same day, Zhao Yu, the emperor's grandson, changed his life against the sky and entered the first realm.
