The ancient city of Qianyang is still the same, the moonlight is still bright, and there seems to be silk and bamboo mixed in the light air. Joy and enjoyment flow slowly here, making this ancient land look particularly quiet.
If you look down at Qianyang from a high place, it will look like a beautiful ink painting. Good mountains are green and green, good water meanders and flows gently, and good families are nurtured everywhere.
No wonder many people yearn for tranquility, seeing this vivid picture of life, feeling the prosperity of this world, and the paradise-like environment. This is undoubtedly the place that many people yearn for. This combination of natural beauty is intoxicating.
Although it is a thoroughfare for seven provinces, with convenient transportation and developed land and water, as an important town where barbarians lived in the past, and with the continuous integration of Han people, it has now completely surpassed the prosperity of many state capitals in the Chu region, but it still does not lose the worldly atmosphere. peaceful.
It not only preserves the original simplicity of the barbarians, but also retains the civilization and development influenced by modern Han culture. The most important thing is the perfect integration of each other.
Although there are traces of the previous Chu rulers here, the rules dominated by barbarian rule have always been preserved. No matter how they are integrated and domesticated, the primitive instinct cannot be changed immediately.
Although the barbarians are fierce and fierce, they still have a clear sense of grudges and simplicity. Their primitive survival instinct makes them more aware of survival and more prepared for the unpredictable in life. The Han people are gentle and kind, but they are also educated and friendly. The changing hearts of the people have created the complexity of the world.
The changes in society are unprovoked and are the product of changes in people's hearts.
Although wild beasts are ferocious, they only survive and protect themselves instinctively.
In the history of the Central Plains, although the Han nation has been the mainstream, the long history has proved everything!
Mutual tolerance and understanding, as well as hundreds of years of affinity, make the ancient city of Qianyang unique.
Passing around the city are the Yuanshui and Wushui merging in Qianyang, like a beautiful crescent moon, comforting and nourishing the city of Qianyang.
The water reflects Qianyang, the moon shines on Yuanshui, and the water and moon blend together, creating a unique charm.
It's late at night!
On the most prosperous street in Qianyang, there are still many people, and it is rare to see peace and prosperity here. Under the prosperity and tranquility, who knows that this world is like a calm water surface, with undercurrents surging below.
On a very high eaves roof, two people stood in the dark under the double eaves! Although the streets are brightly lit, there is moonlight on the roof, and it is difficult to be noticed when standing behind the double eaves.
Besides, the two people on the roof were not ordinary people.
Luo Luo was suddenly attacked just now and was kidnapped directly on the street. The two people on the roof watched the man's actions completely, everything was vividly remembered.
But the two people stood there without making any movement. They looked at the man's sudden action and did not stop the man's behavior. It seems that a person's attack has nothing to do with them, or they don't want to participate.
The moonlight seems to be calmer, and looking up makes people even more reverie. The two people under the moonlight are like two sculptures, which makes people moved.
Both of them were dressed like fairies, and one man and one woman were both dressed in white. Standing on the high roof, you look as calm as a Buddha!
The masked woman on the left is the ghost mother Gao Yangyi, and the one on the right nodding slightly is Xia Qinghou. They followed Liu Jixing, but they didn't go far. Even though they were some distance away, they knew Liu Jixing's whereabouts well.
With the cultivation level of the two people, not to mention the small area of Qianyang City, even if it was half as big, it would naturally be no problem. There are very few people in this world who can pose a threat to them, let alone two of them.
Liu Jixing drank and ate with the two old men, and they were in control of the small talk. As for what Liu Jixing said to others, they naturally would not interfere, but they were deep in thought about Liu Jixing's behavior.
Xia Qinghou seemed to feel the deepest feelings. From the time he was first ordered to come to protect him, even though he was with Xiao Yue, he had a spiritual attitude and did not take Liu Jixing to heart. Everything was left to Xiao Yue to handle. It was at critical moments that he would give Xiao Yue some advice.
As Liu Jixing's series of measures unfolded, from crown prince to emperor, it can be said that Xia Qinghou was greatly shocked. It's not that these methods are powerful, but Xia Qinghou cannot imagine how such a young boy can develop such a keen mind.
He handles everything with as much skill as a veteran who has been in the officialdom for decades; he arranges everything with astonishing detail. In particular, Xia Qinghou appreciated Liu Jixing's handling of the powerful officials in the palace and the traitors sent by other regimes.
Not only does he not need anyone's guidance, but he has been teaching others how to do things.
A young man who grew up in the palace established a secret party in a short period of time, which not only made Xia Qinghou feel terrified, but also extremely shocked. Although the world is divided, he is completely in control of the general trend of the world; although it seems that he has no power, in fact, his power is everywhere in the world!
Is this a young man who has not yet reached the crown?
Therefore, Xia Qinghou did not interfere at all when the master sect intervened again. He saw an impossibility and an opportunity from Liu Jixing. It can be said that this played an immeasurable role in his practice.
Liu Jixing was not only bold and careful, but also planned everything in advance. Sometimes Xia Qinghou felt that he could not even guess what Liu Jixing was thinking! So he gradually looked at Liu Jixing in a new light, from simple protection to in-depth understanding.
How can a person who can be praised by Tao Zun be a mediocre person!
Tao Zun is not only a god in the minds of his disciples, but also a height that many people in the spiritual world of this era cannot reach. As a disciple of Dao Zun, Xia Qinghou has always been a mystery in the hearts of others.
However, Xia Qinghou himself knew clearly that he was relying on the Taoist supreme mental method and relying on the martial arts passed down from his family. Entering Taoism through martial arts is not only a miracle of this era, but also destined to become a legend!
However, Xia Qinghou encountered a bottleneck. This was a very subtle thing, too wonderful to be expressed in words. Therefore, Xia Qinghou always wanted to find an opportunity from Liu Jixing. The arrival of Gao Yangyi this time undoubtedly made Xia Qinghou feel a kind of fluctuation, so he took the initiative to remind Liu Jixing to contact Gao Yangyi.
Although Liu Jixing is confident, he has never told everyone about his ideals, but just seeing the series of actions being carried out now is eye-opening enough. Of course, these people who know something are only limited to a few people around Liu Jixing, who are very close to him on a daily basis.
Others cannot contact Liu Jixing, and they have no way of knowing what kind of person Liu Jixing is.
Some people say that he kills people like crazy and inherits the cruel character of the Liu family. Some people say that he is extremely tender! The poems he wrote are the best in the world since the previous dynasty! Some people think that he is fickle, but he has everything under control! He is so amazing, a young emperor, a person who is considered crazy, but actually an extremely low-key person!
Xia Qinghou didn't know what words he should use to describe this complicated young man. I just want to let nature take its course and watch his every transformation. Is this transformation a kind of growth in the nature of all things in the world?
Gao Yangyi didn't understand Liu Jixing, but he still had a new understanding of his courage. What Gao Yangyi needs is that he can reconcile with Huanhuan's yin and yang. As for who he is or what his behavior is, Gao Yangyi doesn't care.
If he were just an ordinary person, Gao Yangyi might not hesitate to let him become Huan Huan's pet. However, he is not only a prince and emperor, but also a talent that his lifelong rivals have tried to protect.
Gao Yangyi didn't even understand Liu Jixing's governance in Lingnan and what he had done. What she was concerned about was whether Liu Jixing really had the physique she needed as Yin Lihua said.
Now it seems true. From the moment Liu Jixing was helped into the hut by Hua Rui, and the two couldn't help themselves, or Hua Rui couldn't refuse, Gao Yangyi automatically restrained the search techniques he had been targeting Liu Jixing.
Facing a master like Xia Qinghou, Gao Yangyi was quite curious, not to mention that he was only the third generation disciple of Tao Zun. For Gao Yangyi, who had always been arrogant when he was young, no matter whether he was the Supreme Elder of Hell Sect or not, he never wanted to be inferior to others just because of his name.
Although he and Dao Zun did not have any deep hatred, the duel back then still moved the world. After all these years, I have long lost the desire to be competitive, but if the good people in the world know that I will appear, they will never let go of this opportunity to talk about the best topic after dinner.
"It seems that these people are cooperating. Although their decorations are hidden, judging from their appearance and characteristics, they should be the local Yaoman clan. Although this place is supposedly the territory of the Yang family, it can't help but remind people of Fu Yantong!" Gao Yangyi's voice Only Xia Qinghou could hear it, and he only moved his lips a few times, all of which were transmitted through the secret communication.
She saw that Xia Qinghou didn't respond, but kept looking at the man and quickly entered the back door of the house. He couldn't help but added: "Fu Yantong was the only one who was able to make a name for himself under the Yang family that day and later became the king in Qiancheng! Your young emperor is now arrogant and arrogant. He must have made some moves in the Chu land, which is especially Chu land now. The West is extremely complicated, and at such a young age, I’m afraid he won’t be able to handle it!”
"Didn't this Fu Yantong later join Wang Jinkui and get the position of military governor of central Guizhou?" He was asked to pay tribute every year, but in Xuzhou and Qianzhong, he and the Peng family have become a buffer for Zhou Xingfeng, the Yang family, the Tian family, and other established barbarian forces, so he should still be a very comfortable local emperor!"
"This is strange. It is said that Fu Yantong is not very comfortable now, and there are small moves in various places in Wuxi. Something happened in Nasizhou City a few days ago. Several big families fought fiercely. I have been in Wuxi for many years. Based on his analysis, he must have added fuel to the flames!" Thinking back to the tragic situation he saw in Sizhou City, Gao Yangyi was not too shaken and felt the cruelty of reality.
"Nowadays, there are rumors everywhere in Wuxi that Guo Jing, the newly emerging king of Xiangxi, has gradually established a firm foothold in Western Chu with the help of advanced and sharp weapons. Various forces are showing favor to Guo Jing, for fear that he will support their opponents and deal with them together. So. Now Guo Jing is in the limelight, and it is said that his power has actually controlled several states in Western Chu!" Although Gao Yangyi has been practicing, he still often collects information about things around him.
Xia Qinghou naturally knew Guo Jing, and was even entrusted by Liu Jixing to teach him some basic breathing skills and some long-range fighting skills. He was a key chess piece in Liu Jixing's plan in the Chu region. I really didn't expect that in such a short period of time, he would become so powerful in the Chu region!
"This Guo Jing's plan is not small. He is located to the west and constantly shows his goodwill to the Peng family's children. In the southwest, he also supports two people. One is Wuyang Huizhou Man Yang Zhengyan, and the other is a man named Zhong Zhicun from Qiancheng. Yao people!" Gao Yangyi calmly told the secrets he knew as if he were counting treasures from his family.
Naturally, Xia Qinghou would not question Gao Yangyi's origin. It was extremely easy for masters like them to know some secrets in this world. The corners of his lips curled up slightly: "Senior, if you bring these secrets back to the Holy Sect, another group of people who were so influential in the world will emerge from the Holy Sect!"
Gao Yangyi didn't seem to pay attention to Xia Qinghou's metaphor. Looking at the rare smile on his face, his eyes lit up: "Although I don't know whether your words are true or false, the Holy Sect is just a person after all. The sects in the world, and the major events of the year, made the disciples of the Holy Sect understand a truth, either to survive or to practice, and the major events in the world are not for us people to participate in and decide!"
"It's rare to hear such candid thoughts from seniors. Seniors have practiced in Wuxi for many years and have participated in nature. He must have a good understanding of the overall situation of the Wuxi barbarians! In such a good time and moonlight, I should listen attentively!" Xia Qinghou did not mean anything, but his tone was extremely sincere in saluting Gao Yangyi.
He looked at Xia Qinghou quietly for a moment, seeming to consider the meaning of Xia Qinghou's words. Although Gao Yanghui was no longer interested in Hell Gate, he grew up in Hell Gate after all, and all he learned came from Hell Gate. . Seeing that Xia Qinghou had no other intentions, his heart gradually calmed down.
"This Yang Zhengyan is the seventh son of Feishan Taigong Yang Zaisi, and the nephew of Ma Yin, the king of Chu at that time. Just because Yang Zaisi had ten sons, Yang Zhengyan was usually not well-known. But he had seven brothers, all of whom were Chu The Xuanfu envoy or general manager near Xizhou and central Guizhou, based on my conjecture, Guo Jing may want to support him to fight against the Tian family, and dealing with Fu Yantong is just a matter of convenience!" Gao Yangyi thought thoughtfully.
Seeing that Xia Qinghou was listening intently, Gao Yangyi did not pause and continued: "As for Zhong Zhicun, although he is also a Yao, he has never been very powerful. He suddenly rose up in the countryside some time ago and was promoted by Fu Yantong to become a minor official in Qiancheng. . I didn’t expect that he would become famous in Guizhou City in less than half a year. Although he did not openly confront Fu Yantong, he still had a sense of his own way. The Yao people under him were all well-armed, and they were obviously bewitched by Guo Jing.”
"Fu Yantong plundered all the Ma family's wealth that day. Not only Wang Jinkui, but also Zhou Xingfeng and the barbarians here in Chuxi must be coveting his fat meat! If it weren't for the barbarians hiding in Chuxi I'm afraid that all the places have been eaten up long ago!" Xia Qinghou is very familiar with the past events of the Ma family's horses competing for seats, and he has always been deeply impressed by Fu Yantong, who benefited the most.
"If he hadn't obtained that wealth and purchased a large amount of weapons and equipment, Fu Yantong would not have been able to stand out in Wuxi. The people in power in Chudi changed one after another, but no one could do anything to him, and they had to appease him ! Maybe now that he is older, he sees that everyone is wary, and his heart is unbalanced!" Gao Yangyi said lightly: "This is the case for the world, not to mention that in order to show loyalty and protect himself, he sent his son-in-law Chenzhou Qin to Zaixiong and his daughter were sent to Zhou Xingfeng, which not only shocked the barbarians in Wuxi, but also expressed his feelings for Zhou Xingfeng, and he obviously did not want to give up this position."
"How can people in this world not know how easy it is!" Xia Qinghou's voice was quiet, but it was the first time he spoke. Although it was so soft that only two people could hear it, it was refreshing.
"Is it easy?" Gao Yangyi was shocked, and his eyes seemed to glow with a strange look when he looked at Xia Qinghou. It seems that the world between heaven and earth has become clearer. Although it is still the same moonlight, all things under the moonlight are suddenly more clearly visible.
All heaven and earth are unified, all thoughts are unified!
Is there such a thing as simplicity or simplicity in this world?
have!
And there are definitely a lot of them.
Does simplicity mean anything?
Relatively speaking, there are still some! The key depends on where you stand and what angle you look at the problem from.
There is simplicity and simplicity in this world, and naturally there is complexity. Don’t people live in complexity every day?
When you are born, you are innocent, and when you grow up carefree, you are simple. The process can only be simple, and simple can do nothing. As we grow up and come into contact with the world of mortals more and more, people and bodies become less simple, and life is no longer simple.
People gradually become more complicated because they have learned to live and come into contact with life.
Simplicity is the first instinct in life, and it is also the beginning of life's gradual complexity. Simplicity is a dream that humans can never go back to. Life is complicated, how to restore simplicity? Only when you learn simplicity can you restore simplicity.
Therefore, many people spend their lives pursuing simplicity! Or in pursuit of a simple life.
Why do you have to pursue simplicity? Isn’t it bad to live a life of your own accord? Isn’t it good to live a willful life in this world?
No one will interfere with how you live, and no one will interfere with how you use your life, but life has its destiny!
There are many stages in life. Complexity is not necessarily bad. Complexity, from another perspective, means colorful. Simplicity is not necessarily good, because simplicity loses a lot of excitement and variety.
No matter what kind of life you are in, whether you choose simplicity or complexity, the key is to look at the degree of simplicity and complexity.
No one can comment on other people's lives, because everyone has their own way of living. No one can blame other people's lives, because what you blame may be exactly what is missing in your life!
Of course, this is just a result that can only be achieved in the society of later generations, when human beings live in a basically equal society and have basic living security.
In this era, people still have to be divided into three levels! There are many people who have no life of their own at all, and even their life is just an attachment to others, or a family, or attached to a certain person.
In the world of imperial power and feudal society, the highest person is the emperor, and the whole world is imperial land. Under the emperor are ministers, and under the ministers are ordinary officials and people.
How can a servant understand? Don't talk about simple life, don't talk about simplicity and complexity, don't talk about fairness or unfairness, this world is so unfair! Fairness is given to a certain privileged class. Fairness is given to the people who live at the top of the spire of mankind. They may give it based on their own preferences when looking down.
Don't talk about how great you are!
Even if he is just a slave, as long as he is a person who consciously changes, his life will be different because of his own thoughts. When he was a slave, he might have sought justice for his own class! This kind of fairness is looked down upon by ordinary people.
But for the slave, it is a fatal pursuit. If he succeeds, it may change his life. It may be possible to become a freedman from slavery. This is his lifelong pursuit.
If he continues to work hard and one day reaches the top and becomes a person above others, it is a sure thing to be happy. The simplest point is that he will defend everything he owns at all costs!
Life is like this, don't say that people in the world are troubled! Because being a human being will have troubles, and being a human being will have pursuits. Who says man is a thinking animal? Because of all kinds of things, no one can escape this vicious circle.
Because of this entanglement of mentality and thinking, life is full of variables and surprises. Because of these unknown variables and surprises in life, there are so many unpredictable joys and hardships in the world. .
There are people in the world who like simplicity and like everything to be so simple. Because of this persistent love, they don't like everything to be too complicated.
But I dare to ask how many people in the world can do it?
It can be said that there is only one in ten thousand.
Some people like to be meticulous in everything. Is this a disguised form of complexity, or is it itself a kind of complexity?
Life is wonderful because of this, and there are also many troubles because of it.
One of the meanings of simplicity, or a belief, definitely contains uncomplexity and means simplicity.
Of course, in another layer of meaning, it also contains some derogatory connotations. Because there is a sense of carelessness and carelessness in the meaning of the word.
No matter what, some people just like simplicity!
Simplicity does not necessarily mean simplicity, but simplicity must not be complicated!
