Ruined houses, bumpy roads that were blasted, dead domestic animals in pens, human bones scattered everywhere, and of course some surviving refugees.
This is the capital of the Longjing Kingdom that was attacked by the two dynasties, the Zhong family of the Dalan Dynasty and the Huang family of the Dayuan Dynasty. It is said that in order to seize the dragon vein, the emperor of Longjing State joined forces with the leader of Hongxian Sect to assassinate the two princes respectively. The assassination was successful, but they had to suffer the consequences of destroying their country and their family.
The leader of the Longjing Kingdom was captured by the people of the Dalan Dynasty, and the leader of the Hongxian Sect was captured by the people of the Dayuan Dynasty. After the two were killed, they were hung in front of the city gate at the same time and exposed to the sun for ten days.
Ling Fenglan walked for a long distance and finally found a noodle stall that was still open. She asked the boss to serve a bowl of plain noodles and a bowl of tea. While eating, she looked at the questions in the notebook. She didn't write many questions. But for most of the questions, I didn’t have the answers I wanted.
A large number of troops stopped beside Ling Fenglan. One of the leading generals was a little wary when he saw Ling Fenglan's attire, so he said cautiously: "May I ask what sect the young master is from, and what are you doing here?"
Ling Fenglan put down his chopsticks, cupped his fists at the general and said, "General, don't be suspicious. I came down the mountain to sharpen my skills and happened to pass by here. I have no other intentions."
The general took a closer look at Ling Fenglan's appearance and clothing. He indeed looked like a direct disciple of the sect. He also made a fist-cup salute to Ling Fenglan: "I'm sorry to disturb the young master from eating noodles. Let's go."
The army marched away, and Ling Fenglan continued to eat noodles. In fact, this was the second group of troops that came here. This group was the army of the Huang family of the Dayuan Dynasty, and the first group was the army of the Zhong family of the Dalan Dynasty. . Ling Fenglan suddenly waved and asked the boss to cook two more bowls of noodles and handed them to the two brothers and sisters who were squatting in the corner and staring at him eating noodles.
While the boss was cooking the noodles, he said, "Sir, please give me the money first. After all, this place is just a piece of fat pork. I'm afraid that when the officers and soldiers come, you will run away without paying me."
Ling Fenglan immediately delivered ten copper coins to the boss in person, took the two bowls of noodles, and told the boss that the remaining money would be counted as bowls. The boss was naturally happy. This bowl only cost one copper, and I earned two more coppers.
Ling Fenglan added: "In that case, why don't those of you who survived finally forget to relocate elsewhere?"
The boss smiled and said: "Sir, do you think that everyone is like you people in the mountains, who can go anywhere? We ordinary people, the biggest wish is to return to our roots after fallen leaves, this is our root. And this A piece of fat pork, as long as the Dalan Dynasty and the Dayuan Dynasty are still fighting for it, we don’t know whether we will be under the control of the Dalan Dynasty or the Dayuan Dynasty. We ordinary people just want good managers to lead us to live and work in peace and contentment, and the country will be peaceful and the people will be safe. That’s all.”
The boss smiled again and said: "My guest, you are the kind of person who comes down from the mountain to hone himself and become a world leader, right? Sorry, I just took a look at the questions you wrote down in your notebook. However, your question is different from The answers are almost the same, but I have a candidate who can make you ask a different answer."
"Oh? Boss, could you please tell me where that person is?"
"Actually, that person is a stupid beggar who is half crazy and half normal. Twenty years ago, he was admitted to the top of the imperial examination in our Longjing country. He originally thought that he could finally stand out and benefit the country and the people from now on."
"Who would have thought that someone would steal his number one spot. His family came to the capital to complain, but they never thought that the person who stole the spot turned out to be the son of a second-grade official, and they even casually accused him of a crime. His parents He vomited blood and died of injustice, and he became crazy and ran to the palace every day to redress his grievances."
"Do you know who came up with the plan to steal the dragon vein? It was the son of the fake number one scholar who stole the quota, the second-grade official. It was also because after the destruction of the country, these ugly evidences of crimes were announced at the same time between the Dalan Dynasty and the Dayuan Dynasty. In the world."
"Then what happened to these people later?"
"Later? I heard that the second-grade officials and their whole family did not end up well. The men were all killed. The woman and the fake number one scholar escaped, but unfortunately they were all captured by the bandits. They became Mrs. Yazhai and the man He heard that he was found by a silly beggar. The silly beggar gave him a bowl of noodles, but he could not recognize the silly beggar. After eating the noodles, he wanted to thank the silly beggar on the spot, but he was stabbed more than ten times by the silly beggar. After being stabbed to death, it was also at that time that his state returned to half-stupid and half-crazy.”
The boss took a new bowl, filled it with a new bowl of noodles, and put several pieces of meat this time, and said calmly: "Good and evil will be rewarded in the end. It's not that they won't be rewarded, it's just that the time has not come. So all the things we have done , God sees it all. Let you bring this bowl of noodles to him, it’s free, just treat it as my invitation to him.”
Ling Fenglan picked up the bowl of noodles, blocked the silly beggar's way, and asked, "What do you think of this world?"
But the silly beggar answered the question incorrectly: "Is this bowl of noodles for me? Come on, come on, you can't treat me to noodles here. I'll take you to the place where I often eat noodles."
The silly beggar took Ling Fenglan to a dilapidated temple, but on the altar was a Rakshasa, and on the ground were two champions in civil and military affairs. Next to the civil and military champion, there were two rows of empty bowls. The silly beggar patted the empty seat next to him and motioned for Ling Fenglan to sit down.
Ling Fenglan shook his head and said: "I came here just to give you the noodles and ask you two questions. The first question: Are you satisfied with your current life? The second question, if I had to make a new choice for you , will you choose to cultivate, or continue to be a disciple of the mountain?"
The silly beggar widened his eyes, looked at Ling Fenglan as if he were a fool, and sneered: "Satisfied, of course I am satisfied. The country is ruined and the family is destroyed. Isn't that good? But it is true that I am satisfied. After all, I have taken revenge. Hahahahahaha! If I were given another choice, I would become an immortal. I would kill everyone who I think is wrong. Kill them all. Hahahaha. The guilty people deserve to die. They all deserve to die. Dad, Mom, look. Look, they are all dead, and this shameful, dark country is shattered. Hahahahaha!"
Ling Fenglan ignored this silly beggar. He had already got the answer he wanted. He took a pen and a notebook, wrote down his mood at the moment, and flew out of the city.
——
A few miles outside the capital, a young man was lying on the ground and covering his chest. Another young man was vomiting blood and pointed his sword at the young man lying on the ground, but he still couldn't bring down the sword.
Lying on the ground is Zhong Daihan, the sixth prince of the Dalan Dynasty, and Huang Minyuan, the third prince of the Dayuan Dynasty, is standing.
Zhong Daihan smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Minyuan, what's the matter? For the sake of this shabby land, I actually hurt the friendship between you and me. We have been classmates for a few years."
"If it weren't for your broken talisman that restricted my movements, I would have struck down with one sword a long time ago. Why would you have so much to say at this moment?" Huang Minyuan could have taken down Zhong Daihan with one sword just now. Take the lead in occupying this place, plus the Xu Longqi that was captured after the death of his imperial brother and the fifth prince of the Dalan Dynasty. This will be even more powerful for him to become the next Dayuan Emperor. Oh, I almost forgot, there is also the dragon aura of this classmate and friend in front of him.
Thinking about it now, the time for breaking the talisman will soon be over. Thinking of this, Huang Minyuan became even more excited.
"If it weren't for my broken talisman, I probably wouldn't be able to breathe fresh air now. Let me tell you clearly, if my broken talisman can last until our father-in-law Tan comes back, you won't be able to walk around. If Let's reconcile now. When we meet in the future, we will still be good friends, good classmates, and good brothers. You should think carefully about it, Brother Minyuan." Zhong Daihan really couldn't move at this moment.
Today, the two of them agreed to come back and take their respective royal brothers home. It was that trace of dragon energy, or it could be said to be that trace of soul. Who knew that Huang Minyuan took advantage of the absence of the two groups of troops, and the guards around him began to He attacked Eunuch Tan, and was secretly wounded by Huang Minyuan.
Eunuch Tan was entangled by his guards, and it was really difficult to save him. I don’t know if my transaction can achieve Huang Minyuan’s ambition.
"Maybe this way, I don't mind if you put a spell in my heart and I become your puppet. In the future, when you treat me as Emperor Dalan, I will listen to politics behind the curtain and become a chess piece in your hands. How about that?"
Huang Minyuan said with a smile: "Forget it, Zhong Daihan. Do you know? During the years when I was your classmate, I was not afraid of anyone but you. I couldn't see through you. In the beginning, you looked harmless. Even though you still kept your smile until the end, your eyes were like a bottomless abyss and I couldn't even see through you. Your city is so deep that it scares me."
"If you really become Emperor Dalan, I don't know if you will be my pawn at that time, or if I will become your pawn. Just in case, it is better to deal with you on the spot."
"Oh, I'm really sorry. Your broken talisman has arrived, and it's time to send you to hell." Huang Minyuan didn't waste a second, and the tip of the sword pierced Zhong Daihan's heart. There was a "bang" sound, and the sword shattered. Huang Minyuan still didn't understand. The next moment, he was hit by something and flew into the tree.
Huang Minyuan and Zhong Daihan looked in the same direction at the same time. The boy in white came slowly, first helped Zhong Daihan up, and then Huang Minyuan. Huang Minyuan thanked him, and then slapped the boy in white on the neck again. Before he could succeed, he was knocked away by the boy in white again.
The boy in white sat down between Huang Minyuan and Zhong Daihan, closed his eyes and meditated, and said lightly: "I don't know who you are, but I'm in a bad mood today. If you two want to get closer to each other, kill each other. If you kill each other, I will kill you two with my own hands." After saying that, a burst of energy burst out from him, knocking the two back several steps again.
The two of them felt that the boy in white had at least the sixth level of cultivation. Huang Minyuan took the lead and said: "Young hero, this person is extremely vicious and has done countless things that are harmful to nature. If you help me kill this person today, it is for this reason." A great merit has been accumulated in the world.”
The boy in white turned to look at Zhong Daihan. Zhong Daihan didn't say anything and waved to the boy in white with a smile.
The young man in white shook his head: "Both of you are surrounded by royal aura. It is not difficult to guess that they are princes from the Dalan Dynasty and Dayuan Dynasty respectively, but I don't know which of you is the prince of whom."
"I said, no matter who you are today, as long as you kill each other, the people here will only become more and more miserable. So instead of the two of you wanting each other to die, it is better to let you two go back alive, or in other words, you two directly If you are killed by me, I will take over this crime. When the time comes, I will leave a breath to send you a message, and you will say that you were killed."
"Cangyezhou, Xianxu Mountain, killed by Ling Fenglan, the great disciple of Qingming Peak."
Zhong Daihan sat up a little, clasped his fists towards Ling Fenglan and said, "That's wrong. If Ling Shaoxia hadn't arrived in time, I would have been drinking with the Lord of Hell. Don't worry, I won't kill brother Min Yuan. I am He came with his classmates and friends, who read books about saints and sages together. Don't worry, Shaoxia Ling, I will just wait for my adults to pick me up. After they pick me up, I can go home. I will never make it difficult for Shaoxia Ling, let alone The place becomes even more barren.”
Ling Fenglan was unmoved by Zhong Daihan's words and closed his eyes to rest. As long as they didn't mess around, he wouldn't mess around.
Just as Huang Minyuan was about to speak, another breath of air was about to burst out of Ling Fenglan's body, and Huang Minyuan immediately blocked his mouth.
After a while, Eunuch Tan and Huang Minyuan's bodyguards returned to their master at the same time. Before they could speak, Ling Fenglan spoke directly and said: "If one of you dares to take action today, I will bury all four of you here. Your master has already agreed. If you don’t believe me, just ask your master.”
The two looked at their masters at the same time, and the two masters nodded.
Zhong Daihan stood up and said with a smile: "Just because I have no murderous intention does not mean that my friend has no murderous intention. Otherwise, Ling Shaoxia will escort me for a journey. As long as I return to the border of my Dalan Dynasty, I can leave or stay as long as I want." Ling Shaoxia, I won’t force you. How about it, Ling Shaoxia?”
"You dare? Ling Fenglan! As long as you dare to do this, I will go to the land of sages to sue you, Xianxu Mountain!" Huang Minyuan said directly.
The Land of Saints is a name for the Qilin Realm, a gathering place for hundreds of schools of thought, and the only way to the fairy world and the human world. As for how to enter the Immortal Realm, it is very simple. Just be recognized by everyone in the world and be on the list of gods.
"Hey, hey, what are you talking about? Brother Min Yuan, what you said is not genuine. Ling Shaoxia came to enhance our friendship, why don't you know how to cherish it?" Zhong Daihan put his arm on Eunuch Tan's shoulders, like a They talk like street gangsters. However, being so casual made Huang Minyuan very angry and frightened, and even made Eunuch Tan next to him so angry that he did not dare to take a breath.
Ling Fenglan waved his hand and said, "That's enough. Stop talking nonsense. I can send you to the Dalan border, but you have to leave now."
"That's natural, that's natural, let's go." Zhong Daihan made a gesture of invitation and followed Ling Fenglan. Seeing this scene, Huang Minyuan gritted his teeth. Come on, let him go now, but we must strictly prevent him from becoming the Dalai Emperor in the future.
Ling Fenglan actually sent Zhong Daihan to the Dalan border. Zhong Daihan asked Eunuch Tan to give Ling Fenglan a large bag of broken silver, and said that in fact, he had already sent him back to the Dalan border. Ling Fenglan also knew what Zhong Daihan meant, so he was not polite. He took the bag of broken silver in his hand and turned to leave.
Zhong Daihan stretched and said with a smile: "Eunuch Tan, who is the general accompanying us today?"
Eunuch Tan looked confused, but he still reported truthfully: "The sixth prince is one of your favorite generals, General Zhu Weize."
"Oh, that's it." Zhong Daihan's playful smile suddenly turned serious, and he said domineeringly: "No choice, no choice. Since he has not chosen a day, I will help him choose a day. Pass on the order, tonight I want General Zhu’s head to be placed in my palace. If I hadn’t seen it, I would have needed five generals’ heads on my table to extinguish the anger in my heart.”
"I understand!" Eunuch Tan bent down very low.
In the blink of an eye, Zhong Daihan changed back to his playful smile, opened his hands, and laughed loudly: "Fifth brother, let's go home. Hahahaha!"
Ling Fenglan did not go far. He believed that Zhong Daihan noticed that he had not completely left. Ling Fenglan shook his head and silently wrote a new question in his notebook: the position of the emperor, matters in the temple, and every inch of land is worth money. Struggle makes the people suffer. Without fighting, the people will suffer. How can the people not suffer?
