Twenty-nine years of service
The first day of April.
should:
Traveling, getting married, opening a market, laying a bed, and being buried.
avoid:
Pray for blessings, break ground, break ground.
Morning light breaks.
When the first ray of light in April fell on the walls of Kyoto.
In the city.
A man and three women in Zhuque Street, with a black dog, faced the morning light and had already arrived at the city wall.
At this time, the city wall has not yet opened its doors.
The soldiers guarding the city just looked at it and then closed their eyes again.
He just said: "The gates of Kyoto can only be opened at Mao hour every day... Just wait!"
In spring, the sunshine comes out a little faster this week.
Calculating the time now, it’s really not even half an hour.
"Can't you go out yet?"
Xiaobai murmured.
He sat down on Xiao Hei's back.
It's like riding a horse.
Xiao Hei, who was having fun, almost collapsed from sitting down, and his limbs were constantly trembling.
The barking kept going on and on.
"Xiaobai~"
the cat lady shouted.
Xiaobai curled his lips and had no choice but to stand up.
He glared at Xiao Hei: "Xiao Hei, you are getting worse and worse now..."
"I'm so thin and you still can't bear it, hum ╯^╰!"
Xiaohei:......
The two of them often fight, and Chen Luo is not surprised by this.
Like siblings.
If there is no fight one day, something will really go wrong.
"Chen Luo, we don't know how long we have to wait. How about we just hiss and fly out?"
Xiaobai was a little ready to make a move.
I don’t know how long it will take to wait...
It’s convenient to fly.
"Not urgent……"
Chen Luo smiled slightly and said, "Just wait a little longer, it's almost time."
Kyoto has Kyoto rules.
In Kyoto.
Fairy or immortal.
God is good too.
Demon or demon.
No one can fly in the air here.
Once these things are done, the Jin Yiwei will arrive immediately, and then, if they resist, they will have to try the power of the Shocking God Formation.
Chen Luo is not afraid of the Shocking God Formation.
In the past, Xiao Xiangning handed over all the formations of the Shocking God Formation to herself.
If Chen Luo is willing, he can directly set up the next Shocking God Formation. Naturally, he will not be suppressed by this formation.
But even so, Chen Luo would not challenge the emperor's majesty.
This is stupid.
It's not something to be afraid of or not to be afraid of.
It's not worth ruining your character for no reason.
Xiaobai didn't understand this. She just felt that waiting seemed a bit boring, so she wanted to leave the city early.
But Chen Luo said so, so she said nothing more.
At this point, Chen Luo was still pleased.
She is a child.
But this kid listens to himself very well.
However, Mao Shi hadn't arrived yet, and at the gate of the city, the Jin Yiwei were greeted first.
Behind Jin Yiwei,
There is a sedan chair.
The sedan stopped.
Someone came out of the sedan...
The moment he walked out, all the soldiers and people around the city gate knelt down at the same time.
"See Your Majesty!"
No one understands why Emperor Xuan of Ming Dynasty appeared here at this time.
At this time, he should go to court in the morning,
But he left all the officials behind and came here.
Chen Luo was also slightly stunned.
Then he saluted Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty: "I have met your Majesty..."
"There is no need to quarrel with father-in-law and be polite. You do not need to salute to anyone in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Be it me or anyone in the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty in the future, emperor or empress. This will always be the case!"
he said.
Chen Luodao: "Our family is just a mortal after all, how can we afford such treatment?"
"You may still be a mortal, but to the Xiao family, there is some kindness that the Xiao family will never be able to repay in their lifetime."
Chen Luo:......
He thought that he probably understood what Emperor Xuan of Ming Dynasty had misunderstood.
Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty exchanged the fate between the Xiao family and himself for taking Taiping away in the past...
But Taiping's departure in the past was Ying Taiping's own choice and had nothing to do with him.
But at this time, Emperor Xuan of Ming Dynasty might have misunderstood something.
Chen Luo felt that it was necessary to explain to him...
Listening to Chen Luo's explanation, Emperor Ming Xuan smiled.
"maybe!",
He said: "But no one can erase my father-in-law's contribution."
Chen Luo said nothing more.
Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty invited Chen Luo to the city wall...
Standing on the city wall.
stand right here……
Looking out.
a plain,
Nothing can be seen, except the white clouds, except the green water,
But Emperor Xuan of Ming Dynasty had a light in his eyes that even Chen Luo couldn't describe.
Perhaps, that is the attitude of being so high-spirited that I am the only one in the world.
He saw the seventy-two states in the world!
"Great Qin has no power to resist anymore!"
Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty said: "I invite eminent Buddhist monks to watch the destiny of the world. The Qi of the Great Zhou Dynasty has been completed and will soar for nine heavens... But the destiny of the Great Qin Dynasty has been shattered from the bones... It is difficult to defeat the gods!"
he said.
I don't know when, but tears started to flow from my eyes.
"For hundreds of years, the emperors of the Zhou Dynasty spent the lives of generations of emperors...Yongle, Divine Grant, Jianwu, Hanwu... They spent their lives and paid an unprecedented price, such as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty..."
he said.
“The night before Han Wu burned himself in the ancestral temple, he and I chatted for a long time.
Chatted all over the world.
Talked about this life.
I also talked about the world of cultivating immortals, and even about my father-in-law...
He said.
The road to becoming an emperor is not easy to follow.
Especially now that immortals are coming to the world, and countless existences beyond mortals are born in the world.
They ignored the rules and transcended the emperor's control, making the emperor's power no longer as sharp as before.
I... it will be difficult!
Father, he is right,
I have been in office for thirty years and have worked diligently...I have never relaxed for a moment.
Sometimes I even think about what would have happened if I had not sat in this position in the past.
perhaps……
I will also seek the path of immortality and pursue the illusory immortality, right? "
Emperor Xuan of Ming Dynasty said.
Then he smiled helplessly: "Unfortunately, my surname is Xiao...my home field is not in the world of immortality, but among the common people.
So, I understand.
In this life, my final destination will be in this court.
My mission in this life is to make the Great Zhou Dynasty unify the seventy-two states in the world!
That's how it used to be.
That's true now.
This will be the case in the future! "
His eyes became more determined: "I...want to become the master of this world!"
Chen Luo smiled and nodded.
"Your father will be very pleased."
Make meritorious deeds...
In the past, I was a little more anxious.
now.
This time is just right.
It was also at this time
Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty suddenly turned around.
Look at Chen Luo.
His face was serious.
Also with determination and sincerity.
"Eunuch, I would like to use 20% of the country's fortune to ask my father-in-law to be our imperial advisor in the Great Zhou Dynasty. I will also use 10% of the country's destiny to establish Yushan Academy as our first academy in the Great Zhou Dynasty...I don't know, father-in-law, if you are willing?"
As his words fell to the ground.
The originally peaceful void suddenly became turbulent...
It felt like something was about to fall in the sky above Kyoto.
If someone can understand clairvoyance or the art of looking at the spirit.
Then you can see...
The white tiger's luck in the sky above Kyoto, which means the fortune of the Great Zhou Dynasty, is rolling.
This is……
The state of luck contracting.
Now as long as Chen Luo agrees.
He alone can account for 20% of the national destiny of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
And Yushan Academy will also occupy 10%,
…
"How is this going?"
"It's a nice day, why is it suddenly dark?"
"Is it going to rain?"
Xiao Bai, who was holding Xiao Hei's ears, looked up at the sky, his face full of doubts.
The weather has changed too quickly, right?
"It's not about rain, it's about luck!"
Fellow Taoist Bailong's voice came.
The cat lady asked: "What is the conclusion of luck..."
"Heaven and earth have destiny, and the country has destiny. When the country recognizes it and is willing to give its destiny to a certain person or sect, the destiny will be concluded, and this will lead to a community of destiny."
Fellow Taoist Bailong said: "Although I don't know what happened, that person obviously gave Chen Luo a great temptation!"
Xiaobai doesn't understand.
Cat Lady understood a little bit.
National destiny...
She also heard her master say it.
Now it's like what fellow Taoist Bailong said.
"If Master agrees?"
"He can enter the Nascent Soul Realm in an instant!"
The cat lady nodded.
In this case, it is indeed a great temptation...
pity……
"Master will not agree!
The Cat Lady smiled softly.
Fellow Taoist Bailong also nodded.
They understand Chen Luo, so they understand that no matter how great the temptation is for Chen Luo, it will be useless.
They were not wrong either.
Chen Luo indeed refused.
20% of the national destiny belongs to oneself alone...
In addition, Yushan Academy has a close relationship with me, so I can at least get half of the luck from Yushan Academy.
So if you do this, you can win 25% of the country's destiny by yourself.
At this moment, Great Zhou's luck is rampant... The foundation for unifying the world's luck has been laid, and today's Great Qin no longer has the strength to compete with Great Zhou.
Now Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty once again asked himself to be the Imperial Master of the Zhou Dynasty.
Just nod to yourself.
The huge fortune of this week will all become the incense of your own fortune.
Entering the Nascent Soul in the blink of an eye is absolutely the right thing to do.
No one in the entire world of cultivating immortals must be able to withstand this temptation.
Shushan is also good.
No matter Longhu Mountain.
Even Shen Qingshuang would nod, thus becoming the Great Zhou Guoshi,
Luck, incense, longevity, enlightenment, seeking immortality...
How could they refuse something that was completely beneficial and harmless?
It's not shabby to accept favors from others for the sake of fairy fruit...
pity.
Chen Luo just smiled and shook his head: "Your Majesty's kindness is appreciated by us, but the status of the country is still a bit heavy.
Our family is a common people.
If our family is asked to go fishing, bask in the sun, or go on a sightseeing tour, then our family will definitely agree without even thinking about it.
But if our family becomes a national teacher.
Then our family has no ability at all...
so.
I can only decline His Majesty's kindness. "
The temptation is great.
Unfortunately...it's not my own way.
My own way lies in practicing Qi and comprehending, and more importantly, in the endless years of traveling in the world of mortals.
Entering the Tao with incense can indeed make great progress in a short period of time.
But the way of incense is not the right way after all.
If Chen Luo doesn't want it, he naturally won't.
It's just the fate between Da Zhou and myself...
Chen Luo shook his head.
Every time, Chen Luo wanted to avoid too much contact with Da Zhou.
But every time, these fates that were meant to be broken would eventually be forcibly renewed.
Yongle is like this
God has given this
Han Wu is like this
Jianwu is like this
The same is true for today's Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty...
Chen Luo sometimes thinks about it.
I am just a eunuch, why do these emperors value me so much?
Thinking back,
Perhaps, it is because he is a eunuch...
Also because I am used to not fighting or grabbing.
So such a person is worthy of trusting, right?
It seems that I want to be a good person in this life, and become the kind of person who wouldn't even dare to say a thing even if someone slaps you or scolds you.
That's fine, that way there will be less trouble.
Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty was filled with disappointment the moment he heard Chen Luo's rejection.
He had actually been mentally prepared for it.
My father-in-law is now three hundred years old.
After several dynasties of emperors, except for Tianqi, which emperor had not extended an olive branch to him?
pity……
All failed.
The only time it was successful was during the reign of Emperor Jianwu.
But it was only a short period of three years.
Three years later, my father-in-law left without hesitation...
It's just that I originally thought that now that the Great Zhou Dynasty has the power to unify, my father-in-law is an outsider and may need this incense, so I will of course hesitate.
result……
After all, it’s better not to fight for father-in-law!
However, perhaps this is the best outcome.
If the father-in-law really agrees, then he is not the father-in-law.
Chen Luo left...
When leaving, Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty gave Chen Luo a seal.
This seal is: Great Zhou Seal
It was built by Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty...
Seeing the seal is like seeing the emperor of Zhou Dynasty.
Holding the seal can seal the ghosts and evil spirits in the Great Zhou Dynasty as the city god's Yin soldiers to patrol.
It can be worshiped by court officials.
It can be seen that the emperor is rude!
Whether in his dynasty or in the future, the emperors and seals of the Great Zhou Dynasty will enjoy various privileges,
unless……
The Great Zhou Dynasty is destroyed!
unless……
There is no longer a royal family of the Xiao family in the world.
Chen Luo did not refuse, but kept the Great Zhou Seal.
If you have some good intentions, you have to accept what you deserve.
This is the world, and this is the mortal world.
He is walking on the road of mortals, so sometimes, he has to learn the rules of mortals!
Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty also asked Chen Luo.
Now, when will you come back to Kyoto?
Chen Luo said.
Or a year and a half.
Or ten or eight years...
Or thirty or fifty years,
Hard to say.
Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty nodded,
I just want to say that if that day comes, I hope to have three hundred drinks with my father-in-law... When the time comes, I will also bring my heir to see my father-in-law.
Chen Luo smiled slightly.
"good!"
…
The journey back to Yushan Academy from Kyoto is not short.
But Chen Luo was not in a hurry,
When he left Beijing, he made a divination.
Everything is just right.
Naturally, there is no need to be too anxious.
I happened to take advantage of this opportunity to teach Xiaobai how to use formations on the way back.
The formation path is also a deceitful path.
A power derived from the power of heaven and earth, the power of nature, and even the power of one's own body.
Before ancient times, array formation was the most mysterious force in the world.
Not to mention powerful.
And extremely weird.
It is also the power that everyone wants to obtain but cannot obtain.
There are still formations in this world.
Chen Luo has seen a lot over the years, among which the 80,000-mile-long waters of Liangshan Mountain can be called the base camp of formations...
Chen Luo guessed that that place was originally an ancient place.
Perhaps a large number of sects and sects were established in that place.
Some of the Dongfu inheritances that exist today are left behind by these sects.
Otherwise, there are so many formations that the reason cannot be found.
only,
It is true that there are formations, but no one can learn them.
Except for myself.
Chen Luo doesn't know how to teach Xiaobai the way of this formation...
But he believed that what he had learned back then, this novice would definitely learn as he embarked on his own path.
Without him, Xiao Bai's formation talent was the most powerful Chen Luo had ever seen.
Tai Chi Yin and Yang...
The power of two rituals.
The beginning of gossip.
And Bagua is the introduction to the Book of Changes.
Xiaobai has never been exposed to formations, but by boxing with himself, he can realize the power of Tai Chi Liangyi. If this is not a talent, then what is a talent?
only……
Things seem to have changed.
Chen Luo originally wanted to teach her how to practice the Qi Formation.
But no matter how hard it learns, it can't learn it.
on the contrary……
If you ignore her and follow the principles of the array, occasionally it can ask you a few questions.
Later Chen Luo understood.
The way to practice Qi is to be strong, but now you are the only one in the world who can learn it.
Naturally, this novice can't take this path.
That way of incense, she can always do it, right?
So, Chen Luo taught it the formation method under the method of incense...
Although not as good as myself, it is not bad either.
finally……
One month later.
Xiaobai successfully arranged the first formation.
Although it is only the most basic, it also has the effect of a maze.
But...this formation is different.
She does have the power to arouse the power of heaven and earth and change the natural effects of heaven and earth, but it requires the help of special handprints to arrange it.
And once this hand seal ends, this formation will disintegrate...
It has no formation eye, because the one who sets up the formation is the formation eye. The most important thing is that this formation cannot exist for a long time... Unless special magic weapons are used, it will disappear in a short period of time.
"Chen Luo...is there something wrong with my formation?"
Xiaobai looked at Chen Luo timidly.
She felt that her formation was different from Chen Luo's.
There seems to be a big difference.
Looking at the formation seal in Xiaobai's hand, he also looked at the fog caused by the formation around him...
Chen Luo nodded: "The formation is correct. If you study it to the extreme, you may be able to compete with the formation, but there are indeed some problems... This formation is less mysterious... but more It’s a bit imaginary!”
Mysterious... Mysterious than a strange door, more mysterious than Dunjia.
Under Qimen Dunjia, the universe is vast and unpredictable, with the heaven and earth as its frame and the stars as its sons...
Illusion... Illusion in one's own body, illusion in the whole body.
Xiaobai's formation is different from Chen Luo's. Chen Luo controls the power of heaven and earth, while Xiaobai's only uses the power of heaven and earth.
One is the master.
One is a contractual relationship.
The difference is naturally huge, and the resulting power difference is also huge.
"what does that mean?"
Xiaobai doesn't understand.
beside.
Fellow Taoist Bailong's voice came over: "What he means is that you have successfully walked a completely different path!"
Cat Lady smiled and stroked Xiaobai's head.
"Congratulations……"
"Woof woof."
Xiao Hei also barked twice.
I am also happy for Xiaobai.
Chen Luo also smiled slightly...
Maybe not as good as formation path.
Maybe you can walk out of your own way, but this is better than anything else.
The strongest is not necessarily the best.
But the one that suits you will definitely not be the worst.
Xiaobai's way... is very good!
"Yeah?"
Xiaobai smiled.
Hold your head high.
He looked at Chen Luo with squinted crescent eyes: "Chen Luo, what would you call this better?"
Chen Luo thought for a moment.
"Just call Shenyin Dao!"
"good!"
The name is a bit ugly, but it fits the definition of this path very well...
Use seal as a formation.
Take seal as the way.
In the past, Ning Shuan realized Confucianism and Taoism.
Today, fellow Taoist Xiaobai realized the Divine Seal Tao...
good.
fine.
