"Now that we've been pushed to a dead end, there's no need to do it again. My character will just flip the table. It's hard for me and it's hard for everyone. What do you think, Taoist Priest?"
I would rather teach me to betray the world than let the world betray me!
This has always been Chen Yuan's behavior.
Walking in such a dangerous world, it is not enough to have a ruthless heart.
Master Tianxu's eyes were slightly stunned, and then he chuckled, agreed with what Chen Yuan said, nodded and said:
"Life is like chess, and chess is like life. But if you want to overturn the table, your strength alone is not enough."
Chen Yuan is just a Yuanshen warrior if he can support himself to death. If he can stand up to the sky and fight against the refining gods, what can he do to overturn the table? But once you have this spirit, it will not be difficult in the future.
"It's not enough now, but it doesn't mean it won't be enough in the future. It only took Chen two years to reach this point since he entered martial arts.
Give me another two years, Taoist priest, do you think I can stand on top of the world? "
Chen Yuan smiled faintly. He didn't have enough strength, but he had enough skills.
In front of the old Taoist Tianxu, he showed an extraordinary confidence. He regarded the heroes of the world as if they were nothing and the emperors of the world as if they were ants. His courage was extraordinary.
"I believe it for the time being."
"That's good."
"Have you ever thought about changing the world?" Master Tianxu saw that Chen Yuan did not hide his confidence and desire in front of him, and he already knew that his thoughts were known to him.
No more covering up anything.
"To change the world. It is better to say that it is to restore eternal peace to the world, to establish a heart for the world, to establish a destiny for the people, to carry forward the unique knowledge of the saints, and to serve the world.
Let’s bring peace! "
Chen Yuan's eyes were indifferent, and his strength instantly reached its peak.
At least, Taoist Tianxu, who was originally calm and composed, was now a little stunned, muttering to himself a few words said by Chen Yuan:
"Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the living and the people, carry forward the unique teachings of the past saints, and create peace for all generations!"
Four sentences, the meaning is as high as the sky.
When he looked at Chen Yuan again, he was shocked when he saw his calm and calm expression. He felt that the extremely majestic figure reminded him of the great ancestor of Chu who brought peace to the world for 800 years in the history books.
However, Taoist Tianxu is not an ordinary person after all. It is impossible for him to bow his head and surrender after Chen Yuan said a few words. He was just shocked by the few words he just said.
Perhaps Chen Yuan had already prepared the words, but the fact that he could think of these proved that he was not an ordinary person.
There was still some hesitation in the thought, but at this moment, there was suddenly a hint of determination.
"Taixu Palace has been hiding from the world for many years to eliminate disasters, but hundreds of years of seclusion have made Taixu Palace decline even more. Therefore, Pindao came to Shenjing City.
I want to really see how the Sima family controls the world.
It's a pity that Pindao is very disappointed. Even the current situation cannot be stable. The emperor has no real majestic and strategic talents. He can't stabilize the country at the top and the people at the bottom. He can only camp with some evil heretics.
When the general trend comes together, the Jin Dynasty will definitely fall apart. Now it is only barely stable. "
Chen Yuan smiled faintly. The current situation was indeed as Tianxu said, but it was not so critical. He knew some of the Sima family's secrets.
Even the immortals can only take care of themselves step by step, which shows the terror of the Sima family.
Suddenly, his brows moved. Moro didn't say anything about those things. So, would Taoist Taixu, who was extraordinary at first glance, know?
Thinking about this, Chen Yuan said softly:
"What the seniors said is not necessarily true. A behemoth like the previous Chu Dynasty can be destroyed in one fell swoop. The Sima family still has something to rely on."
Taoist Tianxu shook his head:
"No matter how strong outsiders are, they are still outsiders. An unstable foundation will always be nothing more than duckweed in the water. The Sima family does have some support behind it, but if it can really be completely relied on, where does the current situation come from?"
Chen Yuan's eyes flashed, and he had a vague guess in his heart.
"Thousands of years ago, in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, human lives were like grass, monsters ate flesh and blood, and the world was like a prison. Such a scene would make a poor man feel chills running down his spine even if he just read it from a history book.
If the Marquis is determined to conquer the world, Taixu Palace will help him when necessary. "
Taoist Tianxu said in a deep voice.
"Senior, can you represent Taixu Palace?"
Chen Yuan raised his eyebrows.
Taoist Tianxu stroked his white beard and said with a smile:
"The poor Taoist Tianxu is the current headmaster of Taixu Palace."
"How powerful is Taoist Master? Can he compete with Ye Xiangnan, the second best person in the world?"
Chen Yuan stared at him closely.
Taoist Tianxu opened his mouth and pondered for a moment:
"I have never fought before, so I should be able to block him for a while."
"Can you fight the fourth Shura Demon Lord in the world?"
"We have never fought before, so we should be able to retreat safely."
"Can you fight Dongfang Sheng, the sixth best person in the world?"
"Ahem." Taoist Tianxu coughed twice and took a deep breath:
"The bottom twenty-six on the Supreme List are all eligible to fight."
"Where are the top ten on the Supreme List?"
"We haven't fought yet, so we don't know yet."
Taoist Tianxu was calm and composed.
In fact, his strength is not considered weak. After all, the top eleven on the Supreme List are all peerless true kings. Don't expect Chen Yuan to beat Gu Tianqiong and kill the true king of the Sima family in front of him.
But that is relying on immortal methods, which is not about martial ethics.
In fact, those few are very scary.
"Senior said he would help me, but I still don't know how strong the Taixu Palace is. How many powerful True Lords are there who have been dormant for many years?"
"The Marquis has not yet gained momentum. It is too early to say this now. What Pindao said is that he may be able to help the Marquis in the future, not now."
"Senior, when do you think the time will come?"
“The situation is unpredictable and no one can predict it.”
Chen Yuan smiled, he was still drawing cakes for him.
Don't dare to gamble when it's time to help, the icing on the cake will come naturally.
"Okay, Chen, I would like to thank you, senior. It's getting late. We'll meet again someday." Chen Yuan waved his hand, showing no sincerity at all. There was actually no point in continuing the conversation.
When he becomes more powerful in the future, Taixu Palace will come to help him.
"Master Hou, wait a moment."
Seemingly sensing Chen Yuan's thoughts, Taoist Tianxu took a deep breath and felt that he still had to make a big bet, otherwise, if this person really had a chance to win the world, it would not be Taixu Palace's turn.
"Taoist Master, please speak."
Chen Yuan's transition of titles was very smooth and not abrupt.
"There are many hidden dragons in the south, which should not be underestimated. The Biyou Palace is located in Nanzhou and comes from the same source as the Taixu Palace. It teaches that the true king and the poor Taoist should never go against each other. This jade tablet is the order of the Taixu Palace. If the Marquis is here in the future, When the south is trapped, you can rely on this to seek help from Biyou Palace and will never refuse."
At some point, a jade plaque emitting white light appeared in Taoist Tianxu's hand. It was crystal clear and translucent. It was obvious at a glance that it was something extraordinary and a token that could represent him.
"Biyu Palace"
Chen Yuan took the Taixu Order and looked at it carefully.
He had naturally heard Su Ziyue talk about Biyou Palace, one of the top ten immortal sects. It lived in Nanzhou and had always been known as a teacher without distinction, and its reputation was not low.
Definitely comparable to Wudang and Shushan.
"Then thank you senior."
Chen Yuan turned around faster than flipping through a book and showed a faint smile.
Since it was a strong support, it was impossible for him to refuse.
Taixu Palace had placed a bet on him and asked for future rewards. It was not considered a favor, it was just a matter of concern.
"I hope that the Marquis will not disappoint me, remember the few words I just said, and create peace for all generations." Taoist Tianxu said solemnly.
"Sweeping across the barbarians and establishing the world, if I hold the position of Ninth Five, I will definitely build an unprecedented empire."
"good."
"Senior, are you planning to stay in the capital forever?"
"Looking at the general trend of the world, I have a dragon and a tiger in my heart. The five qi in my chest are condensed, and the three flowers are gathered on the top. I am a poor man and Tianxu, waiting for the return of the Marquis." Taoist Tianxu bowed his head.
"Senior, just wait."
Chen Yuan turned around and left, leaving behind a long and lingering voice.
After bragging for a while in Qingyun Temple, Chen Yuan was in a good mood, and he had roped in a potential ally for himself. It was a worthwhile trip, and he would be more confident and confident in acting in the south in the future.
However, the card of Biyou Palace cannot be revealed in a hurry just yet. It may be of great use in the future.
After bidding farewell to Master Tianxu and his sister-in-law Li Hongshuang, Chen Yuan only had two people in this sacred city. He could not see anyone in the palace, so he naturally came to Zhang Mansion very smoothly.
Maybe she knew he would come, but Zhang Yantong was not in the house.
After saying hello to Mr. Chen, the housekeeper of Zhang Mansion, Chen Yuan quietly appeared in the backyard of Zhang Mansion and looked forward. The always weak Second Sister Zhang was drying clothes on a bamboo building.
This is her own small courtyard. There is a small two-story bamboo building that is incompatible with this tall family, but if you look carefully, it seems to have a different flavor and is not out of place.
This is not the first time Chen Yuan has come here, so he seems to be familiar with the roads. And with his cultivation level, even if he didn't hide it deliberately, Second Sister Zhang wouldn't be able to find him.
It wasn't until Chen Yuan walked downstairs and looked up that Sister Zhang realized that Chen Yuan was standing below. A flash of joy flashed across her face. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, a small bamboo pole holding up her clothes fell straight down.
Caught by Chen Yuan, his eyes were thoughtful.
Second Sister Zhang blushed, quickly walked down from the bamboo building, glanced at Chen Yuan, and asked softly:
"How did you come?"
"Second sister, is this intentional or unintentional?"
"Of course it's unintentional, otherwise what do you think?"
"I?"
Chen Yuan's eyes flashed and he felt something was wrong.
Some time ago, when he accompanied Zhang Wanshu to Lin'an Prefecture to see the fish leaping over the Dragon Gate, he took her through the streets of Lin'an Prefecture. When she was bored, she even pestered him to tell a story.
Then Chen Yuan talked about "Shui Xu Zhuan".
Since the length of the article was not high, Chen Yuan told a story about Qinghe County. Now it seems that the second sister really learned and put a lot of thought into it.
"Are you here to say goodbye?"
Second Sister Zhang knew that Chen Yuan was about to leave until her father was about to leave. After all, his father told him about the major events in the court meeting when he came back.
Decided to give Chen Yuan a more profound memory.
"Yes, I'll be leaving tomorrow. I can't let go of my second sister. Come and have a look." Chen Yuan smiled.
To say that he has no feelings for Sister Zhang would be a lie. But to say how deep it is, that's not necessarily true. After all, they have only known each other for more than half a year.
Not deep contact.
But after just a few contacts, he had memorized Sister Zhang. Now that the worries were over, he shouldn't give an explanation.
"How about we go sit inside?"
"Do, do, this, this isn't appropriate, is it?"
Chen Yuan looked around and felt that Lao Zhang was nearby. He didn't know if it was a delusion or a real peeping from a distance.
"This is not the first time we have met. What's the matter? Come on." Seeing that Chen Yuan seemed to be a little relaxed, Sister Zhang didn't feel restrained. She pulled Chen Yuan into the bamboo house with a red face.
After pouring a cup of spiritual tea for Chen Yuan, Second Sister Zhang took him and talked about many things from the past. These were her memories, and now she wanted them to be Chen Yuan's memories as well.
"That." Second Sister Zhang pondered for a while without opening her mouth.
"Second sister, if you have anything to say, just say it, it's okay."
"real?"
"real."
"You are not allowed to say other weird things."
"OK."
"Well, um, um. When will you marry me?"
After brewing for a long time, Second Sister Zhang lowered her head and muttered.
"What?"
Seeing that Chen Yuan still wanted to pretend to be stupid, Second Sister Zhang took a deep breath, raised her head, looked solemn, and said word by word:
"You, Chen Yuan, when will you marry me?"
"This is going a little too fast."
"I've already spent the night with you." Second Sister Zhang stared at him.
"Two rooms."
Chen Yuan said seriously.
"My family doesn't know. Anyway, they know that I have gone out with you and stayed for two days. This matter has been accidentally spread.
I can’t get married anyway, so you have to take care of me! "
Second Sister Zhang blushed and looked very energetic.
After being in contact with Chen Yuan for so long, she has figured out his character. If she pretends to be stupid, she doesn't know how long it will take.
"Can you please give me a nice word?"
Seeing that Chen Yuan didn't speak, Second Sister Zhang pursed her lips and continued.
"When I come back, I will take you away."
Seeing the second sister looking like this, Chen Yuan was not teasing her and said very seriously.
"Why are you taking me away?"
"Um."
"Um???"
"Take you home."
Chen Yuan chuckled.
"how long?"
"You also heard what happened yesterday. I will take you away in one year."
"real?"
"real!"
"Don't lie to me."
"Will not."
"Okay, then I'll wait for you."
Second Sister Zhang said with a very serious expression.
"One year is a short time."
Seeing the reluctance in his eyes, Chen Yuan comforted him.
"Actually, you can take me away now."
Chen Yuan slowly shook his head and pointed in the direction of the palace:
"Taking you away now will harm uncle and brother Zhang."
He had just rejected Jingtai's marriage proposal, and then turned around and took away Zhang Yantong's daughter. What would Jingtai think? What rumors will come out?
The Zhang family cannot be put in danger for the sake of selfish interests.
Zhang Yantong paid him the favor, and they were still allies, but he didn't know if Lao Zhang would turn against him if he revealed his true thoughts.
The time has not come yet!
Zhang Wanshu was a person who understood the general situation and knew the pros and cons, so she stopped talking and started talking about other things, such as who would be her eldest brother if she followed Chen Yuan.
What are the personalities of these sisters?
Is the doctor settled?
Does she look good?
After chattering endlessly, Chen Yuan could only tell her some things about him, Mrs. Xu and Shen Yanshu.
Zhang Wanshu bit her mouth and whispered:
"If Sister Xu and Sister Shen knew that you had always been so kind to me in the capital, they wouldn't be angry, right?"
Chen Yuan: "."
"No, don't worry."
"Sister Xu is beautiful, the most beautiful woman in Shuzhou, and she also helps you take care of some things in Tangshan. It's really hard. Sister Shen went to the Goddess Palace to practice for you, just to help you. It's really hard."
Unlike me, who only knows
Second Sister Zhang, whose tea was full of tea, was quite interesting. Chen Yuan reached out and held her hand, looked at the sky outside, and said softly:
"It's getting late. Uncle Zhang will be back soon. I'm leaving first. You should rest early. You don't have to see me off tomorrow. I'll leave very quickly."
"Safe journey."
"Um."
After a while, Chen Yuan left Zhang Mansion. Zhang Wanshu held her chin, stared blankly at the teacup left by Chen Yuan, and whispered to herself:
"One year is not long."
After leaving Zhang's Mansion, Chen Yuan basically said goodbye to everyone he was supposed to say goodbye to. He glanced in the direction of the palace and walked on the streets of the capital without saying much.
This journey will take at least a year.
He only has one year at most.
The one-year appointment is here, and Jingtai's patience may be worn away. If he doesn't go back, the two parties will be completely at odds.
It may not be possible to arrest him directly, but some means will definitely be used.
Therefore, the best choice for him is to raise his strength to the top level in the world within one year, which is the strength of the true king.
At that time, there was room for maneuver whether to rebel directly or to attack the capital.
As he walked, Chen Yuan arrived at the Marquis Wu'an Mansion. The guard at the door saluted and he nodded slightly. He was now treated the same as Zhang Yantong.
Although it is not necessary to be able to mobilize the patrol guards to guard him, others have done so, and he is not out of place.
As soon as he entered the Marquis Wu'an Mansion, Chen Yuan's calm eyes suddenly moved, and his mind sensed a familiar figure appearing in his room.
He chuckled and walked in.
'Squeak'
Pushing open the door, a beautiful woman in palace attire was sitting dignifiedly, her eyes calm, and she met Chen Yuan for a moment:
"came back."
"Um."
"when are we leaving?"
"Tomorrow morning."
"Why don't you ask someone to say hello to me?"
Concubine Yang had some resentment in her eyes and gave him an angry look.
"The wind is too tight. I'm afraid Jingtai has been paying attention to my movements. Going to the palace will not be good for you or me." Chen Yuan shook his head.
"Then I'll come this time." Yang Guifei was stunned for a moment, fearing that she might cause trouble to Chen Yuan.
"It's okay in the Hou Mansion. It's impossible for Jingtai to send a true gentleman to guard me. He probably just wants to see where I am."
"oh."
"How did you come?"
"My identity is inconvenient, so I'm here to see you off. This farewell will last for at least a year. I don't know if we will see each other again in the future." She forced a smile.
Chen Yuan nodded and said nothing more, understanding what she meant. He took out two homemade cigarettes from his sleeves, lit one of them and handed it to the imperial concubine.
After a long time, Chen Yuan had finished smoking, and she was still smoking
The plot in Beijing is basically over, and a new chapter will begin tomorrow. I’ll think about it carefully.
Ten Thousands of Days Every Day, the plot is indeed a bit sketchy.
But in this recent situation, we can only exercise restraint. Please forgive me.
