Back at the drug store, the newly appointed pavilion director Liang Laogai was standing respectfully in front of the door with his six sons. When he saw Xin Zhuo coming back, he trotted up to greet him and lowered his voice: "Uncle Xin, you have a distinguished guest at your home, Mr. Liang. Staying with you."
"Liang Yuanwai" is Ah Gou's father. The imperial court granted him a title of Sanjue and a large amount of coveted gold, silver, jade, and silk every year. Everyone felt restrained, so they simply called him Yuanwai.
As soon as he finished speaking, Daliang, who was dressed in a brocade robe and had been influenced by wealth for more than ten years, walked out, looked at Xin Zhuo, frowned slightly, walked a few steps quickly, and came to him: "Old Xin, what are you doing? What kind of monument did Widow Li set up? You are Agou... the master of Duke Xin. You must pay attention to your dignity. Look at what you are wearing? How many times have I told you?"
Xin Zhuo looked up at him, a hint of unexplainable meaning flashed in his old eyes: "Are you teaching me how to do things?"
Daliang was startled and instinctively felt scared. He quickly took a few steps back and gritted his teeth and said, "We are all decent people. We must respect each other, right?"
Xin Zhuo sat down silently and continued to sort out the herbal seeds.
Daliang swallowed, straightened the collar of his robe that cost three hundred taels of silver each, and stepped forward and said: "My brother Xin, please don't use these shabby herbs. I have an imperial doctor at home, and I don't want to treat illnesses." Money, you will have no business in the future, just follow Agou and enjoy your happiness for a few years, okay?"
He said and patted his forehead: "I almost forgot about business, come in quickly, there are distinguished guests in the room!"
"The old man in the dry mountain has no distinguished guests!"
Xin Zhuo's voice was old and he didn't even raise his head.
Daliang couldn't help but get angry and stamped his feet: "You stubborn old man!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a cough was heard, and five people walked out of the room, including Uncle Wang, Yang Rou, and Ma Quan.
The five people looked at Xin Zhuo immediately, looking him up and down, as if they wanted to see him through, completely ignoring Xin Guogong's father and the pavilion chief.
This time, they mainly came to see the mentor of Xin Guogong Xin Chengzhi. What kind of person could teach him such a person who didn't know a few Chinese characters, but was a master of military strategy, officialdom, worldly sophistication, and outstanding skills.
But at this glance, I couldn't help but be disappointed. He was just a shriveled old man with gray hair and a body full of abscesses and scars. He had no celestial spirit, no ability to turn stones into gold, and no words of wisdom.
Miss Yu'er looked at Yang Rou, the head wife of the Black Sword Sect, in surprise, who lowered her head slightly.
The young man named Zhu Liang sneered, and suddenly his shot was like lightning, and the extremely yang energy cut through the air like clouds and flowing water, and went straight to Xin Zhuo's back. The buildings and the ground in all directions shook slightly.
Daliang and the pavilion chief were horrified for a few moments.
Xiao Huang in the corner slowly raised his head, a dark whirlpool rolled up in his dog eyes, and a hint of sarcasm appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Xin Zhuo was always sorting the grass seeds without blinking an eye.
"Don't hit my daddy..."
At this moment, a crazy woman stood in front of Xin Zhuo with a strange scream, shaking her head desperately, her long messy hair was as messy as a pile of straw, and her face was covered with shocking scars.
Tweety.
Zhu Liangsheng stopped and frowned slightly.
"grandfather?"
Uncle Wang chuckled lightly, raised his hands to Xin Zhuo and said, "Xin Guogong once said that there is a mentor in my hometown, I wonder if he is your Excellency? Xin Guogong has been in the army for more than ten years, fighting in all directions, and he often does amazing things. He often says that it is all thanks to the teacher's teachings when he was young! "
"Life is impermanent, but everything is permanent. What does his actions have to do with others? A teacher teaches and solves doubts, but he cannot control his behavior! Is there no wise man in Hubao Kingdom who can be a teacher? It seems that there is a way in the world. But the horses are dung and the world is unruly. Soldiers and horses are born in the suburbs. You are puzzled. Why don't you ask your heart?"
Xin Zhuo finally raised his head and said something.
Master Uncle Wang's expression changed, and he suddenly bowed to the end: "This is junior Meng Lang. I understand, I will resign now!"
With that said, he took Yu'er, Yang Rou and others and left in a hurry.
He didn't stop until he reached the outside of the town and looked towards the town, breathing rapidly.
Miss Yu'er was puzzled and asked curiously: "What the old man said is very general. What is the uncle afraid of?"
Uncle Wang looked at a few people, his eyelids twitching: "I didn't hear what he said, I just saw the road in his eyes!"
"Road?" Zhu Liang frowned.
Uncle Wang took a deep breath and said: "Fifteen years ago, I followed your master to the Yuheng Holy Land to worship. I saw people among the Martial Immortals and noticed the look in their eyes. Your master said that it was the road to heaven in martial arts. , it is impossible for ordinary warriors to exist!"
Zhu Liang was shocked: "Is that old man just now an old monster who can rival the Holy Land?"
Yang Rou and Ma Quan's faces suddenly turned pale. They had already guessed that Doctor Xin was probably not at a low level, and this time he wanted to use the masters of the main sect to punish him in retribution for the humiliation. But they didn't expect it to be so terrible!
However, Uncle Wang shook his head and said: "I can't tell. Maybe he has a very high realm, or maybe he has no realm at all, but at least he is a wise man and a person who knows the way to heaven. This kind of person must have extremely broad knowledge and extraordinary origins. , we can’t afford to offend him, no wonder he can teach someone like Xin Chengzhi!”
This was a bit contradictory, but he really did think so in his heart. He felt a little suffocated just now.
Zhu Liang frowned and said, "Disciple, I don't understand. Does he know martial arts?"
"If you had taken action just now, we would probably all be dead today!"
Uncle Wang scolded him coldly, and then sighed: "Xin Guogong is not unjust because of his current achievements, let's go!"
A group of people disappeared in an instant.
…
With the departure of a group of misfit martial arts masters, the town returned to calm, as quiet as a bowl of water that had been left for a long time, without any ripples.
It is true that the drug store has no business anymore. The imperial doctor raised by Liang Yuanwai's family can treat diseases for free. Although Lao Xin does not need money, his medicine is too bitter.
The days pass slowly like every year.
…
In the fifth year of Kaiyuan, autumn!
On the wall of the drug store, there is an extra number 68.
This year, Dakang State and Di State went to war. Duke Xin led an army of 200,000 people and went straight to the territory of Di State. In seven months, he conquered eighteen cities.
In the final battle, the main forces of the two countries fought fiercely on Huangshipo. His wife, Princess Changping, played the drums in person. The bloody battle lasted for three days and three nights, and finally defeated the main army of the Di Kingdom.
Then the "Pingkang Army" marched straight in, occupied the important tax land of Di State and the land of plenty, requested an order to suppress the remaining territory of Di State, and expanded its troops to 600,000.
The world trembled.
…
Kaiyuan tenth year, spring.
There is an extra number 73 on the wall of the drug store.
The emperor of the Dakang Kingdom, who had been king for ten years, was critically ill in his prime. He urgently recruited Xin Chengzhi, a relative of the emperor and the governor of the Di Kingdom, to enter the imperial capital.
After some overt and covert fighting with the Prime Minister, His Majesty decreed that the 41-year-old Duke Xin be appointed as the Crown Prince, Grand Master, Zuo Prime Minister, Dazhu Kingdom, King Pingkang, and General Regent.
Thirteen-year-old Xin Wei, the emperor's nephew and the eldest son of King Pingkang, was granted the title of Marquis of Di, commanding 200,000 imperial guards to guard the imperial capital inside and outside.
From then on, Xin Chengzhi became an extremely popular minister, with one person subordinate to ten thousand people. With a stamp of his feet, the empire was shaken.
In the winter of this year, on a snowy day, eighty-one-year-old Wang Mazi died in Langxian Town.
Wang Mazi is just a small person, but he is Xin Zhuo's old friend.
That night, Wang Mazi's family cried inconsolably. Old Xin and Old Tie, who were already somewhat pedantic, drank all night.
The next day, all the chickens and ducks in the town died, and the water in the river turned black...
Half a month later, an extremely luxurious motorcade, accompanied by local officials at all levels, drove into the town with an imperial decree and took Liang Yuanwai and his wife to enjoy the blessings in the imperial capital.
The team still struggled in front of the drug store for a long time, but unfortunately the drug store never opened, so they had to leave in frustration.
…
The following year, in the eleventh year of Kaiyuan, Emperor Dakang passed away, and the nine-year-old prince ascended the throne and changed his name to Tongkang.
Xin Chengzhi was conferred the title of King of Liang, Taishi, a false axe, rude to the king, and refused to worship when entering the palace. Princess Changping was made the eldest princess of the Di Kingdom.
Xin Chengzhi's unlucky father, Lao Liang, who died of illness within three months of arriving in the imperial capital, was named Duke of the Tiger Kingdom.
…
In the fourth year of Tongkang, it was the twelfth lunar month of winter.
There is an extra number 78 on the wall of the drug store.
Suddenly, the situation in the Dakang Empire suddenly changed, and the entire empire was in turmoil.
Because……
The thirteen-year-old emperor sent a young eunuch to break through all the resistance and issued a belt edict to recruit soldiers from all over the world. He said that the Grand Master, Dazhu Kingdom, and Liang Wang Xin Chengzhi had disobedient intentions.
The governors, princes, governors and old prime ministers from all walks of life all set up troops one after another, and divided the thirteen princes to attack the king of Liang.
At that time, there were people from the martial arts family, Blackwater Sect, Beiwo Mountain, Longquan Yinmen, Bailang Cave Sky, and the old monster Jiu Niao Master, Xisha Patriarch, Wan Chao Kui Lao, Bai Ling Fairy, etc. to help Liang Wang Xin Chengzhi.
The thirteen princes invited Qingjian Sect, Fushan Sect, Kunlun Ruins Peak, Confucian Mountain, Yuheng Holy Land Sect, Fuxian Palace, etc. to help out.
The storm rises and the world changes!
However, everything outside has nothing to do with Langxian Town. The town is still peaceful and peaceful, except that many houses have collapsed. However, because it is the hometown of a big shot, the prefect of Fucheng sent craftsmen down to help repair it. .
In addition, an old man named Lao Tie has reached the end of his life.
Clay figurine shop.
Eighty-five-year-old Lao Tie, with white hair and age spots on his face, was sitting on a chair in front of the door with Xin Zhuo, who also had gray hair, a foul odor and an octogenarian appearance.
Kneeling behind him were more than a dozen of the old man’s children and grandchildren, all of whom had sad faces.
Both sides of the street were also crowded with neighbors, all of whom looked sad.
The two old people sitting cross-legged can be regarded as the two ancestors in the town. One is 85 years old and the other is 78 years old. There is no one higher than them.
"What's the name of the third girl in front of you?"
At this time, Lao Tie asked weakly, and only Xin Zhuo could answer him.
Xin Zhuo rubbed his eyebrows and said with a wry smile: "There are too many people who call you San Yatou. I'm old and can't remember. Let me think about it. Is it right to beg Huahua?"
Lao Tie smiled like a child: "Yes, yes, she didn't fight with Agou today?"
Xin Zhuo clapped his hand: "Brother, Huahua is in her forties and has been married out of town for thirty years. Why are we fighting? You are an old fool."
Lao Tie sighed dryly: "Then why does Widow Li not quarrel with others these days?"
Xin Zhuo said: "Widow Li has been dead for fifteen years!"
Lao Tie was in a daze: "I want to drink with Wang Mazi. Lao Xin, I want to change the taste. Where is Mazi?"
Xin Zhuo shook his head: "Mazi left five years ago!"
Lao Tie choked and looked at him for help: "I'm so confused, I've forgotten many things!"
Xin Zhuo smiled and said: "It's better to forget it. I remember it, but I always feel uncomfortable when I think about it."
Lao Tie was in a daze silently. After ten breaths, he suddenly became energetic. His confused appearance disappeared. He looked at Xin Zhuo and said with a look of reluctance: "Lao Xin, you are a long time old. You must change your bad temper in the future." , don’t curse people at all times. If you can’t move anymore in a few years, just call people, and my son and Mazi’s children will come over. Who in this town is not your child? Isn’t it? "
"Dad!" Lao Tie's sons hurried forward. They understood that their father had returned to his former glory.
Xin Zhuo waved to signal that there was no need to come over, and straightened Lao Tie's collar with his own hands: "Brother Lao Tie, I will take care of myself."
Lao Tie smiled sincerely and suddenly said: "I have been making clay figurines all my life and I am very skilled at it. I don't know why I can't make you? No matter how hard I make it, I can't! Why?"
Xin Zhuo sighed, not knowing how to answer. How could a mortal achieve such a state? Just about to speak,
Lao Tie couldn't wait any longer. He looked at the end of the long street in the town, closed his eyes, and dropped the bag under his eyes that he had held for a lifetime on the ground, smashing to pieces.
"father!"
"Grandpa Iron..."
There was crying all around.
Xin Zhuo looked at him silently for a while, then stood up, leaning on crutches and hunched over, and walked tremblingly towards the end of the long street.
"The death of a mortal is the end of life. When you are born, you cry and your family laughs. After death, your family cries silently. Everything is dust to dust and dust to earth. No wonder the heaven and earth are exhausted. There are no warriors left in the world. Going against nature and trying to live forever is not the right way in the world. ?
The secret scriptures of Buddhism, following the principles of heaven and earth, defying heaven and earth's martial arts, using powerful powers, and frightening ghosts and gods, are just a kind of selfishness. I finally understand that I have really wasted my forty years. "
His steps were very slow and his tone was also very slow. When he said the last word, his tone became heavy and he shouted softly: "Breaking the Realm!"
"Buzz——"
The nine-color zhenqi suddenly swept across all directions, and the crying in the town stopped instantly. Everyone and everything became still. A huge "hole" appeared in the sky, and wisps of life and death contradictoryly overlapped and fell straight down.
Weird visions, like the end of the world.
After forty years of hard training, the five gods and humans have declined, and the fifth has declined. I am not happy and I have made a breakthrough! ! !
After half a stick of incense, everything disappeared, crying started again in the town, the clouds opened and the fog dispersed, and the world became clear.
However, his aura was like the overlapping of thousands of wild beasts. With every step he took, terrifying ripples of life and death rippled around and the air tore apart.
Until, when he returned to the drug store, he looked like an ordinary old man again, even older and gloomier, and his behavior was much slower.
Xiao Huang, who was also "old", ran over and "helped" him.
A man and a dog entered the house. Xin Zhuo sat down and patted Xiao Huang's head: "In the past forty years, you have also reached perfection. I am 78 years old and you are 63 years old. How do you feel about this life? "
Xiao Huang smiled charmingly and mouthed the words: "Awesome Klass!"
The tone is weird, a bit weird, but I can still understand it.
Xin Zhuo burst out laughing: "Awesome Klass? You are imitating me and I will give you a mallet, don't you believe it?"
"Hehehe..." Xiao Huang chuckled weirdly with his tail between his legs.
Immediately, one person and one dog looked a little colder and looked towards the clear sky outside.
After a while, Xin Zhuo said: "It has been forty years, half of it has been hidden and half of it has been cultivated. I have been waiting for the game that has been laid out for thirty years. Now I am still a little bit behind. In the meantime, I will be reborn in one fell swoop and regain myself. Enter the realm of Yuanji and try the power of the saints and saints!
Back then, those old dogs barked for a long time, and they couldn't get over it, so I just got over it!
I've been holding it in for forty years, I hope those people won't provoke me! "
