The current situation between Da Zhou and Da Qin is no longer a simple struggle between countries.
The people are good too.
The imperial court is also good.
It’s also good to be in the world of immortality.
has long been involved in this war.
Everyone wants to achieve unification, but who will unify is very important.
Things like this about Da Qin developing spies in Da Zhou are actually nothing to make a fuss about.
Just like Dazhou...
How many people in Xianyang are intelligence agents of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
I'm afraid even the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty may not know it clearly.
Maybe not a lot, but certainly not less...
Chen Luo doesn't care about these things.
As far as I am concerned, in fact, it is almost as good as anyone who can unify them.
In terms of personal relationships, I do have a relatively close relationship with Da Zhou...
But back then, he and Da Zhou had already cut off the cause and effect.
Although Wu Zhao and Xiao Xiangning forcefully connected the cause and effect between themselves and Da Zhou.
But that's all.
He does not have the power to change the direction of a country.
At the same time, there is no power to unify the world.
Just like the goal Chen Luo set for himself when he traveled through time.
alive...
Staying...
No fighting, no grabbing...
Immortality.
Just be a passer-by in the world of mortals.
After all, he is just a eunuch with limited abilities.
Maybe one day.
Da Zhou really reached the edge of destruction.
He might take action.
But at that time, he would not be the one to save Dazhou... He would only leave a legacy of incense for the Xiao family.
Xiao Xiangning understands this,
Wu Zhao understood.
Even the current Emperor Wu of Han understands.
And this is their only hope,
This time Li Bai brought a lot of news. As someone who went out to experience and was ready to become a guest in the world of mortals, naturally there would be a lot of gossip.
In addition to these, there is also news about Li Chungang.
I heard that he has entered the territory of Dazhou.
The Imperial Court of the Great Zhou Dynasty received the news, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty personally ordered the Jinyi Guards to be dispatched to greet him... At the same time, he ordered people from various sects in the Great Zhou Dynasty to assist Li Chungang.
We must ensure that Li Chungang returns to Kyoto safely.
"Although Li Chungang is the gatekeeper of the Tianwu Pagoda of the Great Zhou Dynasty and guarded the Kyoto during the Divine Immortal Rebellion, he doesn't think that he would be such a concern to Emperor Wu of the Great Zhou and Han Dynasties.
They even did not hesitate to dispatch everyone in Jin Yiwei to mobilize the immortal cultivators from all over the country... This level cannot be described with a big movement. "
Li Bai said.
His eyes were on Chen Luo.
Chen Luo naturally knew what he meant.
It's just that he has his own merit in this.
Chen Luo didn't refute.
Chen Luo also didn't expect that that little kid would care so much about him.
It’s not just Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
It seems that all the emperors in the past dynasties were like this.
Even today's Emperor Qin is like this,
Is this a naturally favorable physique?
Chen Luo muttered.
Some people are naturally easy to win the favor of others...do you happen to have this physique?
Now that I think about it, it's not bad.
A good person...
It's popular wherever I go.
Naturally, I don’t mind being a good old man.
Of course... the premise is not to plot against yourself. If you plot against yourself, that won't work.
But these news are not the most important,
The most important thing is the commotion about the Great Wall in the north and the boundless sea in the south...
The so-called Great Wall of the North is the wall on the northern border of the Great Zhou Dynasty, which is hundreds of miles long and shrouded in heavy snow all year round.
Because it is to the north of the Great Zhou Dynasty and is the border between the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Northern Territory, it is called the Great Wall of the North.
The Boundless Sea in the South is the southernmost point of the Qin Dynasty. It is a vast ocean with no end in sight and has been shrouded in thick fog for a long time.
This sea is called the boundless sea...
Beyond the boundless sea is the land of Southern Border!
One north and one south.
One Great Wall, one boundless sea.
This is the boundary that Da Qin and Da Zhou have been guarding over the years.
No matter how tense the war between Great Zhou and Great Qin changes, the Great Wall Guards in the North and the Sealess Guards in the South will not be dispatched even if they are not forced to do so.
For hundreds of years, the only dispatch was the 20,000 Great Wall Guards that Emperor Jianwu brought back from the Northern Great Wall.
But after they came out, they never went back, and later became the Red Flame Army,
Emperor Jianwu later raised 50,000 troops and replenished the Great Wall Guards...
For hundreds of years.
Be it the Great Wall of the North,
Or the boundless sea in the south.
It has always been relatively quiet.
Except for a period of commotion on the Great Wall in the North due to the awakening of the immortals and the arrival of the evil era decades ago, there is no more.
Even that commotion was only for a short period of time.
At this point, everything was calm again.
But now...
"Whether it's the Great Wall in the north or the boundless sea in the south, there seems to be a commotion."
Li Bai's face became a little serious: "This time, things seem to be a little serious."
Chen Luo's brows frowned.
"Tell me?"
"On the other side of the Great Wall in the north, I heard that a frost giant has appeared... and there are also strange movements in the boundless sea in the south. We are worried that it may be a white ghost!"
The corners of Chen Luo's mouth twitched.
Frost giant...
White Walkers.
This news is really exciting.
It's just that whether it's the Frost Giants or the White Walkers, they all exist in legend.
According to Li Bai, there was no news about them in ancient times...
Come to think of it, this is just a legend.
He thought it was possible that the big demons had fled into the Southern and Northern Territories, causing changes in the Southern and Northern Territories.
Therefore, this caused commotion at the border,
Chen Luo nodded.
This may be the greatest possibility...
The two chatted.
While eating roast duck.
It was as if those things just now were no longer important. Even if the sky fell, they would not be able to stop them from eating.
"Don't tell me, I haven't been back for several years, but the roast duck in Xianyang is still the same..."
Li Bai sighed.
"Is it so delicious?"
"That tastes terrible."
Chen Luo:......
Looking at the roast duck in his hand, Chen Luo suddenly felt that it no longer tasted good.
He's still quite picky.
I originally thought I could eat a little bit, but now that I heard what Li Bai said, I suddenly lost my taste.
"When I go to Yanjing one day, I'll treat you to Yanjing's roast duck. I heard that the roast duck there is good. I even wrote a poem about it. How about it? Do you have any ideas?"
"If you dare to chant, we guarantee that you will not be able to leave this yard..."
Li Bai:......
If you don’t listen, don’t listen.
This attitude is too bad.
After all, the old man was once a powerful Nascent Soul warrior in ancient times. Don’t you need to save face?
"By the way, are you familiar with him?"
Li Bai asked Chen Luo.
He was naturally pointing to the man under the willow tree on the stone bridge.
"I'm not very familiar with him. I gave him wine twice. What? Do you know him?"
How could the old man know? "
Li Bai shook his head: "If I knew, I wouldn't say he is evil, but I think people who have stories about him... No, I am a little curious."
Chen Luo nodded.
"Maybe one day he will tell his story."
"If that day comes, please tell me!"
"good!"
What Chen Luo didn't expect was that he would soon know the man's story.
Xiangwu two days later.
Xianyang City roars...
After a while, there was lightning and thunder.
Then it rained heavily.
Chen Luo stood at the door.
Looking away, beside the stone bridge, the man under the willow tree was still sitting there quietly.
Let the rain fall on him.
Get him wet.
There was a thunder and lightning explosion...
It fell on the willow tree.
Chen Luo was not worried at all.
as expected.
The man is fine, and so is the willow tree...
The falling lightning seemed to fall on the water, except for causing some ripples, it had no impact.
He is a spiritual practitioner.
Good cultivation.
The realm of foundation building.
Too……
Being able to sit there for so long without eating or drinking, how could you do it unless you entered the foundation building?
Chen Luo thought for a moment.
Holding an umbrella, I picked up the fishing basket and fishing rod.
Along with the rain curtain, he walked towards the man.
He sat next to the man.
Sit down cross-legged...
The umbrella flew into the air and was pinned to the willow tree, covering Chen Luo from the rain that fell on him, and also shielding the man from some wind and rain.
He took out a pot of wine and the green gourd on his waist.
The wine was placed in front of the man.
Open the green gourd.
Take a sip of wine.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
The fishing rod was thrown out...
[You fished in Long Lake under the rain, and you felt something different in your heart... Your state of mind was improved.
Your fishing experience improves.
Experience value +100!
PS: Fishing in the rain, without hooks and wireless, makes fishing life as comfortable as you want! 】
When Chen Luo was fishing, the man didn't care.
But he couldn't help it after all.
"How to fish without hook and wireless?"
This is the first time I heard a man speak in more than a month of living in Longhu.
The voice was a little hoarse.
Full of vicissitudes of life.
It seems like countless years have passed...
Chen Luo said calmly: "Who said you can't fish without hooks and wireless devices?"
He pointed to the lake.
In the lake.
A koi carp has jumped out of the lake...it just stayed in mid-air, as if it had bitten an invisible fishhook.
Chen Luo stretched out his hand to untie the fish and held it in his palm.
"It will take the bait if it wants to, won't it?"
The man was slightly stunned...
Then he stopped talking.
He finally understood.
This man is not fishing for fish.
Be yourself.
With just a fishing rod, I allowed myself to speak...
I am ultimately not as good as him.
He picked up the wine in front of him and drank it himself.
Chen Luo occasionally took a sip.
But everyone drinks for himself.
He catches his fish and he drinks his wine. It’s all harmonious and harmonious.
"My name is Shiqiao!"
he said suddenly.
Chen Luo said: "Chen Luo..."
"I know you."
Shiqiao said: "Some things have happened in recent times. Although I am sitting here and have not left, I know a little bit about the things in Xianyang. I have heard a little bit about the Zhou Dynasty not fighting for father-in-law!"
"It's good. It saves you some steps of self-introduction."
Chen Luo smiled.
He was quite proud of it.
Is this a name that everyone in the world knows?
That's really great.
Now when I go out, I really don’t have to worry about encountering the kind of villain who will come up to me and have to fight the plot by myself.
"Want to hear a story?"
Ishibashi said.
Chen Luo was stunned for a moment.
Then under Shiqiao's puzzled gaze, he put away his fishing rod.
A small table was taken out of the storage bag.
I took out a plate of peanuts.
A plate of melon seeds.
A plate of beef.
Wine... was placed on the table.
He even grabbed a handful of "meaning" from the air, rubbed it on the "meaning" for a while, and a small wine glass was formed.
Pour the wine into a wine glass.
When everything was ready, Chen Luo said: "Okay, you can tell your story!"
Shi Qiao looked at Chen Luo in front of him, who was cracking melon seeds, eating peanuts, and occasionally sipping a drink, and the expression on his face began to look a little unnatural.
Probably, I might have regretted my decision to tell my story.
It’s just that you can’t take back what you said.
then……
He took another sip of wine.
His eyes became a little blurred, became deep, and finally became full of tenderness.
"I'm waiting for someone..."
…
The story of Stone Bridge is actually very simple.
Not to mention sad.
It can't be said to be earth-shattering.
Not to mention something that makes people shed tears.
Ishibashi was originally a monk who cultivated in Lingquan Temple. After his spiritual energy revived, he awakened the memory of his previous life!
According to the original plan, he should practice hard, strive to enter the immortal path, and seek immortality.
However, just when he went down the mountain to practice and prepare to compete for the incense.
He met a woman.
The woman was just an ordinary girl, but she was the most beautiful and most admired woman Shiqiao had ever seen in his life.
Even if she is a fairy in the world of immortality, she is not as good as her.
Perhaps, this is love at first sight, love at first sight.
He fell in love with her.
She likes him too.
For this reason, he even gave up his lifelong Tao and lifelong practice.
Even though the two of them are from completely different worlds.
Even though Shiqiao is destined to be unable to grow old with her.
But he never regretted it.
Unfortunately, the story never ends happily.
He made an appointment with her to meet here...
he came!
But she didn't show up.
then……
He waited here and waited until now.
"How many years have you been waiting?"
"have no idea……"
Shiqiao said: "Maybe thirty years, maybe fifty years, maybe eighty years, I can't remember clearly."
Chen Luo was silent.
Xu Jiu said: "You love her very much."
"yes!"
"Have you ever thought that maybe she is no longer in this world? She is just a mortal after all..."
Shiqiao remained silent.
No words were spoken.
After a long while, he said: "I can wait...she will eventually appear."
"maybe."
After death, there is a chance of reincarnation, but the chance is too slim.
"But after three hundred years of reincarnation, you may not be able to get one."
Chen Luo's words didn't sound good.
But it's true!
He was very lucky and met Ji Bao and Zheng Sanbao.
But not everyone is himself.
How could it be so easy in the vast sea of people?
Shiqiao fell silent again.
“The abbot of Lingquan Temple came here once, and he once asked me a question.
He asked me how much I liked that woman. "
"How do you answer?"
"I would like to transform into a stone bridge and be exposed to the wind for five hundred years, the sun for five hundred years, and the rain for five hundred years. I just want her to pass by on the bridge."
This time, Chen Luo was silent.
He said no more.
He just picked up the wine and toasted him.
Shiqiao didn’t speak either…
Leaning there quietly,
His eyes were still on the stone bridge,
He is waiting,
Waiting for that woman to appear...
…
From that day on, Chen Luo never looked for Shiqiao again.
Sometimes I just look at it from a distance.
No longer close.
Li Bai was filled with emotion after hearing his story, but he didn't understand why Chen Luo never went near that place again.
Not even willing to chat,
Chen Luo told him that it was not that he was unwilling.
But feel ashamed.
Li Bai doesn't understand...
Chen Luo didn't explain either.
Perhaps, he was afraid of tarnishing his Shiqiao Zen connection!
then……
Every time he saw the stone bridge, Chen Luo couldn't help but go to Fangxuan Pavilion that day, looking for the faint solace in Miss Shixuan.
Love is too tiring.
He, Chen Luo, will never become an infatuated person after all.
Amitabha!
…
Hanwu eight years.
This day.
Chen Luo stood in the yard.
Practicing Tai Chi.
In recent days, he seems to have been vaguely exposed to the shadow of Tai Chi, so Chen Luo has been practicing Tai Chi very diligently during this period of time.
Not long after Chen Luo practiced.
A little boy came into the yard.
He gently came to Chen Luo's side,
Salute: "Sir..."
The voice is a little low.
With some restraint.
"I brought you hand cakes. Do you want to eat them now or later?"
The man is eight or nine years old.
Not too old.
He looks pretty good.
It's just that his health is a little poor and he looks a little weak.
Chen Luo met him on the street half a year ago. At that time, he was quite embarrassed.
Chen Luoben didn't pay attention to him.
But after thinking about it, I brought him back.
Treated his wounds.
So far.
He became a frequent visitor to the hospital.
Morning, noon and evening, everyone comes to say hello.
Until a few days later, a guest came to the courtyard,
Da Qin Ying Yiren.
The child knelt in front of him and called his father...
Chen Luo sighed slightly at that time.
It can be regarded as knowing the identity of the child: the second son of the Emperor of Qin: Ying Shi.
That guy who Emperor Qin said said the prince was weak and should encourage himself.
Only then did Chen Luo realize that he was being bullied because he had offended the son of a court official...
then.
Chen Luo didn't want to talk anymore.
There is actually some reason why Ying Yiren doesn't like him.
The Emperor of Qin did not discuss winning the world with Chen Luo.
I just chatted with Chen Luo about home affairs.
By the way, I told Chen Luo something: Old Master Ning of Yushan Academy died... Now the dean of the academy is Ning Shuan.
Chen Luo was very calm when he heard the news.
He had already been mentally prepared.
The time is almost up.
After all, the old guy couldn't bear the loneliness and wanted to go underground.
fine.
At least he no longer needs to be upset about the God-given Year.
Listening to Ying Shi's words, Chen Luo did not stop practicing Tai Chi.
Just asked: "Does the hand cake have sausage added?"
Yingshi said respectfully:
"I added sausage and an extra egg. I know Mr. likes spicy food, so I added more chili peppers."
"If you're interested, put it on the table and eat it after the boxing practice is over."
"good!"
Yingshi nods,
He carefully placed the cake on the table and then came to Chen Luo's side.
Stand side by side with him.
Learn from Chen Luo.
I practiced Tai Chi in a decent manner.
He didn't know what kind of boxing technique it was.
What are the benefits of practicing...
But he understands that practicing is the right thing to do.
It is always good for yourself...
Chen Luo didn't care about Ying Shi either.
He has been with her for half a year. In the past six months, rain or shine, he has learned to fish and practice boxing by himself every day.
Even when he was cleaning the yard, he also learned from it.
Chen Luo didn't stop him either.
This little guy is good at everything, but he is slow to understand and slow to learn.
Chen Luo didn't say anything, everyone has their own talents...
Besides, it’s better to go slower.
Too fast is not necessarily a good thing.
Boxing practice is over...
Chen Luo closed his fist.
Over there, Ying Shi had already brought the towel over to wash Chen Luo's face.
There was a hint of wink.
Chen Luo was somewhat satisfied.
This little guy is pretty good...
he likes.
Pick up the hand cake and eat it. This hand cake is also good...
But Chen Luo soon couldn't eat anymore.
Plop.
Yingshi knelt directly in front of Chen Luo.
He knocked his head to the ground.
"Please sir, accept me as your disciple..."
Chen Luo fell silent and slowly put the hand cake back on the table.
"How much does this hand cake cost? I'll pay it back to you..."
I'll calculate the service fees for this half-year later. We won't take advantage of you. "
What the hell.
This hand-grabbing cake makes you want to bite your teeth!
Yingshi:……
