In October of the thirty-fifth year of Hanwu.
Yuzhou City.
The city is filled with the fragrance of osmanthus.
In a courtyard somewhere in Yuzhou City, Chen Luo was lying leisurely in the courtyard.
Occasionally eat sweet-scented osmanthus cake.
Take a sip of wine once in a while.
There is nothing better to enjoy life than this.
Especially the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in Yuzhou City, which I haven't eaten in decades. Today, when I eat it, the feeling of the past and the memories of the past come back.
The flying general turned into a normal goshawk, lying on the peach tree in the courtyard.
Yawn occasionally.
Occasionally, he looked up at Chen Luo.
The feathers on his body fluttered, making a rustling sound like metal, and there were faint sparks flickering on them.
Strange to say, the flying general was originally just an extremely ordinary goshawk.
Because of fate, he came into Chen Luo's field of vision.
By chance, he opened his spiritual wisdom and became Chen Luo's spiritual beast... and also became the experimental subject for Chen Luo's practice of beast control.
But even if his spiritual wisdom is turned on, he is just an ordinary goshawk.
Since that moment of realization in Xianyang, Chen Luo transformed into the spring breeze and traveled throughout the land of Qin and Zhou. Under the flame of that finger, the flying general underwent a brand new transformation from top to bottom.
The gray hair turned red.
In the midst of soaring, fire appeared under his feet and made a crackling sound.
Even the feathers have the presence of flaming stars.
This can no longer be called a goshawk...
But Chen Luo didn't know what it was specifically.
What was going on in that state, and how it was possible to do it, I am still at a loss.
Fortunately...
Chen Luo is heartbroken.
Don't worry about things you don't understand.
Just like the mysterious items in the body.
Three out of five.
Decades have passed...
Although he knew where Shushan Road and Wenxin Pavilion were, he had no intention of looking for them.
Not being in a hurry is one reason.
The biggest reason is that it’s really difficult to get there, whether it’s Southern Xinjiang or Northern Territory…
In addition, there are more and more legends about White Walkers and Frost Giants, and Chen Luo is really unwilling to take risks.
Immortality...
Whether it is immortality or immortality, Chen Luo has not yet had the courage to test it.
After all, I am afraid of death!
It is an embarrassment to the vast number of time-travelers...
3 months ago.
Chen Luo walked out of the Sutra Pavilion of Bodhidharma Temple. After leaving the temple, Chen Luo went down the mountain and found the flying general.
Then came all the way.
In the middle, I went to Penglai Xianfang
It's also a surprise.
Back then, I raised a lot of fish in the pond in the courtyard, originally for food. However, within a hundred years, a carp with intelligence appeared in it.
Chen Luo thought for a moment.
Give it a hint of magic.
Then I ignored it, caught some fish and left.
The meat of these fish is plump and plump, and every bite is a pleasure.
Cat Queen loves fish...
Fish, mice, books...
These are her three most important things.
There is nothing that Chen Luo can do about it. As a master, he can still satisfy her with books and fish.
So Chen Luo caught more.
A storage bag filled to the brim.
When the time comes, give it to her, and she will definitely be happy.
When you are happy, you might turn into a human form. When you turn into a human form, you might not know... Jie Jie Jie...
Chen Luo's smile gradually became abnormal,
Give yourself a slap.
He called himself a pervert.
That's just a cat!
That's your disciple!
You actually want to beat her and cry... She's not human anymore.
As for the harvest from Kue Mountain, Chen Luo thought that this was probably the biggest harvest he had ever received in these years.
Bodhidharma is said to have three hundred unique skills.
These three hundred unique skills are all hidden in the Sutra Pavilion.
In addition to these unique skills, there are also thirty thousand Buddhist scriptures...
Chen Luo likes to read.
Taoist books.
Buddhism is a book.
Miscellaneous Studies.
Confucianism.
Four Arts.
Biographies of princes.
etc……
Perhaps it was the habit he developed in the Kyoto Library that made Chen Luo love reading.
No matter how busy I am over the years, I always take time to watch it for about an hour.
Occasionally there are gains.
Occasionally not.
Chen Luo was not in a hurry. If he really read books for the sake of harvest, he would end up in a bad situation.
In two years, Chen Luo read most of the Buddhist scriptures.
A lot has been gained.
Even a lot.
Buddhism and Taoism are originally one family... just because of different concepts and different paths chosen, in the end they took two completely different paths.
But the three thousand avenues all return to the same origin.
Buddhism and Taoism naturally have something in common.
then……
In two years, Chen Luo's eight-marked golden elixir unknowingly entered the nine-marked elixir.
The foundation of nine realms is completed in an instant.
As for the three hundred unique skills, Chen Luo has learned them all.
Just the deduction took a long time...
Later, Chen Luo couldn't help but go down the mountain.
no way……
It causes visions from time to time, but it is not really his formal style.
Later, a formation was arranged, but some of it was inevitably leaked.
But the most rewarding thing is the formation in Kue Mountain...
Chen Luo spent a long time and had a vague understanding of the formation.
Too bad it's too profound.
Somewhat similar to the Buddhist saying that one grain of sand is one world.
There is a way to form a boundary with Sumeru.
It's not that simple to study...
Fortunately, I have learned a little bit, and now I am waiting for intensive research and experiments.
Maybe one day I can really learn that formation.
If you can learn it... you will have the possibility to create the world within the formation.
That... is the real immortal method.
pity……
The formation in Ku'e Mountain was not about creating the world, but about forcibly changing the environment with the help of formation and manpower.
There are so many problems in the process that it is difficult to describe them all, so I won’t go into them at all.
As for leaving without saying goodbye... the main reason was that Chen Luo didn't want to cause trouble.
Bodhidharma and himself have a causal relationship.
They gain something.
I also gained something.
When you have to leave, you will leave naturally...there is no need for any reason.
…
"But it's a peerless magic weapon. There aren't many that are missing now... There's only one left, the blood of the common people?"
Lie on the chair.
The chair rocked.
Chen Luo enjoyed it leisurely.
He muttered.
"The spirit of the four seas, the spirit of the seabed, the Five Elements Spirit Pearl, the Kunlun Black Iron... In a few decades, with the help of Jin Yiwei and Hong Xiuzhao, I have almost collected them all.
There are still two or three items missing.
The most troublesome thing among them is the blood of common people... huh? There is still one? Morning and night spiritual dew? What the hell is this thing? "
Chen Luo suddenly became confused.
He thought that there was only one Blood of Common People left, so why was there still one Soul Dew of Morning and Night?
but……
"You can tell at a glance that this blood of the common people is the hardest to find. If you look at morning and evening spirit dew, it's not that difficult... If you can't do it then, go to Shushan and ask Li Qiuliang, that guy should understand.
I seem to have heard him mention it before! "
Chen Luo thought.
Suddenly a little boy ran in with a poop.
There was also a bun in his hand.
"Grandpa Chen, Grandpa Chen..."
he shouted.
Because he ran too fast, he fell directly to the ground with a plop.
He responded quickly.
The bun was held high by him, but it didn't fall.
It doesn't hurt either.
Don't cry either.
He stood up and dusted himself off.
He wiped the runny nose with his sleeve again.
He smiled and came to Chen Luo with the bun in hand.
"Grandpa Chen, here you go, your favorite vegetable buns... I secretly hid this, and I was going to eat it myself!"
The little boy's name is Yang Xiaokai.
He is the grandson of Yang Zhiwen.
It’s just that Yang Zhiwen is gone...and died a few years ago...
However, his son Yang Bucheng inherited his mantle and became a policeman in Yuzhou City.
This Yang Xiaokai is his youngest son, six years old this year.
Chen Luo squinted at Yang Xiaokai and smiled. Instead of picking up the buns, he looked outside the door: "Come in, you guys, Grandpa Chen, is not that old. Zheng Sanniu, your legs are exposed... still Yes, Zheng Datou, your forehead is exposed."
then……
Clattering.
Seven or eight children poured in outside the door.
About the same age.
They are all five or six years old.
It's just that these children were all covered in mud, as if they had just crawled out of the mud.
"Hello, Grandpa Chen!"
"Grandpa Chen was discovered by you!"
"Grandpa Chen, my name is not Datou, my name is Dacheng!"
The children shouted in all directions.
The one called Big Head complained to his companions:
"I told you that hiding is useless. You still don't believe it. Do you believe me now?"
"Aren't you hiding too?"
"Didn't you say you wanted to hide?"
"Ha ha!"
"Brother Kai just fell like a dog eating shit. It was so funny!"
Yang Xiaokai:? ? ?
A group of people were talking, but their hands were not idle at all. Some were pulling out from the body, some from the crotch, and some from the stomach.
There are fish.
There are loaches
There are crabs.
There are even a lot of big frogs.
They were put on the ground, and when they were free again, some began to snap and flap their tails, and some started to run and swim around.
Frogs are the fastest.
Started running around in the yard,
Now they were anxious. ,
Shouting my frog, my fish, my loach, my crab...
Started to catch it in a hurry.
Chen Luo loves to be clean.
So his yard is clean…
But now in the blink of an eye, there is a mud mark here, a mark there... The frog even ran into Chen Luo's arms.
Seeing the children running around and catching frogs all over the yard, Chen Luo's forehead suddenly turned dark.
Some even climbed trees...
"Zheng Xiaoyao, stop plucking it out, you will strip off the flying general's hair!"
Chen Luo shouted.
The little girl called Zheng Xiaoyao held the flying general who was accidentally captured in her arms. There was a feather in the little girl's mouth...
Hearing Chen Luo's words, the little girl looked at the flying general, and with some regret pulled off another feather before letting the flying general go. Then she slid down the peach tree, leaving a long trail on the trunk. Mud skid marks.
Chen Luo's head got a little bigger.
"Tell me, what are you going to do?"
This group of boys are all Zheng He's grandsons...
That guy is pretty awesome.
They said they wanted to have several fat sons, but they actually gave birth to seven in the past few years...
Forget it.
And ten daughters!
In other words, the guy gave birth to seventeen children!
That rascal……
When he returned to Yuzhou City and found out about this, Chen Luo almost slapped him to death.
It’s so awesome!
And these children are his grandchildren.
As soon as they heard Chen Luo's words, a group of little kids rushed to shout.
It means that they went out to grab these things and give them to Grandpa Chen...
Then he spoke cryptically.
When they were just catching fish, they were accidentally seen by Yang Xiaokai's father, hoping that Chen Luo could save them.
Yang Xiaokai's father and grandfather will definitely come over later.
I hope Chen Luo can say something nice by then...
"Grandpa Chen, please!"
Yang Xiaokai held the buns in both hands,
The rest are either holding frogs or catching crabs...
Everyone looked at Chen Luo eagerly.
And...it's strange that he knows how to be a good person, he knows how to ask for help, and he can't be empty-handed.
"Okay, leave it to me!"
Chen Luo took the bun and started eating it.
After all, it’s about kindness.
Don't see your child being scolded.
quickly.
There were footsteps outside the yard.
It's Zheng He and Yang Bucheng.
As soon as he came in, Yang Bucheng's face darkened when he saw a group of little kids covered in mud.
"Master Chen..."
"Master Chen..."
Zheng He and Yang Bucheng saluted.
"Let's ask someone to take them back first."
Chen Luo said.
Soon, women came in and took the children away, including the daughters-in-law of the Zheng family and the Yang family.
When leaving, Yang Xiaokai and the others secretly gave Chen Luo a wink.
Chen Luo understood.
He patted his chest.
It probably means: "Grandpa Chen will protect you all."
They were immediately relieved.
This time when I go back, I won’t have to eat fried meat with bamboo shoots.
Wait until they leave the yard.
Chen Luo turned around and asked Zheng He and Yang Bucheng: "Do you have any bamboo strips at home?"
The two were slightly startled.
nodded.
"have……"
"Let's do this. I'm afraid you don't have enough at home. I'll get some for you later. They will definitely be thick and painful!"
"Then thank you, Mr. Chen."
"You're welcome, they asked for it, so remember to beat them to death!"
Two people:…
Are those bastards at home still aware of this?
That really satisfies them.
In fact, it's not that Zheng He and Yang Bucheng are making a fuss, it's just that Yuzhou City has been a little unstable recently.
A lot of things happened.
The place where Yang Xiaokai and the others went to catch fish today is called Yuqing River.
Yuqing River is a river outside Yuzhou City...
There is usually not much water flow.
The water is also extremely clear.
Children usually like to play there...
But since people drowned there, more and more people have died in the river.
In just five or six years, at least a dozen people died.
There are adults too.
There are kids too.
What's even weirder is that they all died at night...
Therefore, when they heard that their children had gone into the water, they were naturally extremely frightened.
pity……
I tried to persuade them many times, but these little bastards never took it to heart.
I always feel that this is not a big deal,
certainly.
This may be what the naughty children have in common... They still don't understand what this death means.
"Many people have died in Yuqinghe over the years? Does anyone say what's going on?"
Chen Luo asked.
Zheng He said: "There have been many deaths. I remember the first one was a woman. That woman was Luo Yuanwai's concubine in the city. When she was found dead, the whole city was frightened. The woman was tied up and her skin was soaked. Bai, his face is even more ferocious and terrifying.
The government official said that the concubine was killed by a ghost. From that moment on, many drowning cases began to appear in the Yuqing River! "
"Killed by a ghost?"
Yang Bucheng sneered: "What the hell? That was Luo Yuanwai who was killed... It's just that Luo Yuanwai was a nobleman from Yuzhou City, and his family had a great relationship with the capital. I heard that the concubine of King Liang was Luo Yuanwai. His sister, in Yuzhou City, he didn’t even dare to offend the prefect, let alone the Yamen?
Moreover, that woman is his concubine. As a concubine, the government cannot decide whether to kill or kill..."
Chen Luo nodded.
"Are there no monks to deal with it?"
"How come there isn't?"
Zheng He said: "There were several people who went before and after...but many died. When we got to the back, no one left..."
"It seems that Yu Qinghe really has something."
Chen Luo smiled.
Chatted with the two for a while.
Seeing that it was getting late, Zheng He and the others respectfully left.
Regarding Chen Luo, both the Zheng family and the Yang family respect Chen Luo very much.
Especially Zheng He
I knew that Chen Luo had to run when he came back.
A man in his eighties.
I fell down several times on the way here.
When he saw Chen Luo, he hugged Chen Luo's thigh directly... and insisted on drinking with Chen Luo.
The Zheng family is still an ordinary family now.
But there are already more than 40 people in the family...
It's not that the Zheng family has no money.
On the contrary, there is money,
But Zheng He still insisted on not revealing his wealth. He felt that it was okay to have money, but it was not good to make it public.
As a result, the Zheng family has been developing in a low-key manner over the years.
There are more and more people.
In the eyes of outsiders...the Zheng family is a well-off family.
Being rich... doesn't count.
Starve to death...no,
Just an ordinary person.
This is what Zheng He wants.
This is also what Chen Luo thinks is good.
It's good to be ordinary, and it's good to be low-key, so Chen Luo met the descendants of the Zheng family and the Yang family.
Don’t say anything else.
At least for now, Chen Luo is sure that the descendants of the Zheng family will not forget Ben within three generations.
As for three generations later, this is a hurdle.
What will happen depends on the fate of the Zheng family and their education.
As for the Yang family...it has been passed down through three generations.
They're all pretty good too.
But the Yuqing River...
Chen Luo smiled.
If I have nothing to do tomorrow, I will go fishing in the Yuqing River. I think it will be very good.
…
this night,
Zheng family.
As usual, after nightfall, everyone went to bed early to rest.
Maybe there are some differences.
That's the night tonight, much brighter.
Crunch…
In the silent night, Zheng Xiaoyao opened the door and walked out of Zheng's house.
She closed her eyes.
Nor spoke.
No shoes on either.
Just walking quietly on the street...
It's strange to say,
The soldiers guarding the city gate were still energetic for a second, but gradually they yawned, and finally fell asleep leaning against the wall. Xiao Yao was not even seen walking out of the city gate. .
She just walked like that empty,
Finally we arrived at the banks of Yuqing River.
Quietly, after staring at the river in a daze for a few seconds, he then stepped forward, stepping on the water, and walked towards the river.
It was also the moment it entered the water.
A red feather on Xiao Yao's body suddenly glowed.
That's flame!
The flames are red...
In the night light, it is extremely dazzling.
…
East of the city.
Chen Luo fell into the courtyard.
The flying general who had been sleeping in the tree suddenly woke up, let out a cry, and then his whole body burned with flames and flew towards the Yuqing River.
This night...
There was flame across the sky, cutting through the night.
