ps: Ahem, everyone has been waiting for a long time. I haven’t cut it yet. I wrote a chapter and presented it with a cup!
The young soldier heard the words and looked at the Taoist in surprise. He saw that the Taoist was wearing a purple Bagua Taoist robe. He was about fifty years old, with gray hair, a slender appearance, and a strong spirit. He had a whisk on the crook of his left arm. He looked like There is something transcendental about it.
Little did he know that in order to attend his disciple's wedding, Yu Ding took off his previous Taoist robe and put on the changed Bagua Purple Ribbon Immortal Clothes in order to show respect for his disciple.
As the apprentice's only relative, Yuding's arrival was truly taken into consideration.
"My Lord Commander is very busy with military affairs. Chief Taoist, if you don't tell me what to do with Lord Commander, it would be very difficult for me to understand you." The young sergeant shook his head and said.
"Is your commander-in-chief's name Li Jing, and he's going to get married soon?" Yu Ding asked with a smile.
"No, our Chentangguan general's surname is Yin."
The soldier shook his head: "The one the Taoist priest mentioned is our deputy commander Li Jing from Chentangguan?"
"Deputy Commander-in-Chief?"
It seems that he is indeed early... Yuding raised his eyebrows: "Then where is the residence of your deputy commander-in-chief?"
He had some impressions of Dashang's military positions. The chief military officer was the highest military officer who guarded the local passes. Under the chief military officer, there were also military positions such as deputy chief soldier, staff general, and guerrilla general.
He remembered that Li Jing was already the commander-in-chief of Chentangguan when he appeared on the scene, but Nezha had been born at that time, and he was not married yet, so it was normal to act in front of the deputy commander-in-chief who had not yet become a full-time officer... what the hell!
Yuding was a little speechless. There was no problem in being the apprentice of Master Du'e according to the original process, but he taught him this time. Isn't it normal to become the commander-in-chief early?
You must know that after his senior brothers and sisters came down from the mountain, it didn't take long for them to start a battle for fame. In the end, this guy was still a deputy commander...
Hearing this, the soldier looked at the jade tripod with a strange look, then raised his finger and said: "Go down this street, turn left at the intersection, turn left again, and then... Hey, where is the person?"
After the soldier pointed the way and turned around, he was surprised to find that there was nothing in front of him. The old Taoist priest had disappeared without knowing when.
Chentangguan!
An important pass located in the northeast of Dashang, adjacent to the East China Sea. As the gateway to the northeast of Dashang, the importance of this pass is self-evident.
Therefore, there are more than 100,000 permanent troops stationed in the pass, and in addition there are millions of civilians living in Chentangguan.
Jade Ding walked in the pass, watching the people coming and going on the street, and couldn't help but nod secretly.
In today's prehistoric times, the human race has indeed flourished, and a mere pass can have such a large population.
Jade Cauldron was walking in the city. He had been visiting the fairyland all year round since he came to this world, but he rarely visited the human world.
At this time, the street was filled with people's voices, the constant shouting, the steam of various snacks floating away, and the smell of human fireworks everywhere.
Yuding couldn't help but slow down, restrained his cultivation, and walked among the crowd like an ordinary Taoist, feeling the long-lost... popularity.
Unconsciously, he arrived in front of a mansion. The words "Deputy General Military Mansion" were written on the plaque. There were also two armored soldiers guarding the door. However, the scale of this mansion was smaller than that of the General Military Mansion. Several levels.
Yuding's gaze became profound, and he turned to look inside the city, and finally withdrew his gaze and continued to look at the Deputy General's Mansion.
It seems that this apprentice is not doing very well... Yuding's eyes flashed. The mansion of the dignified deputy commander-in-chief was even worse than the mansion of the general. Isn't it bad?
It seems that Bi Fang did not have much influence on Li Jing. Otherwise, with Bi Fang's lawless and demonic temperament, he would have killed everyone long ago.
"The Taoist priest looked at my master's mansion and shook his head and sighed. I wonder what he has to say?" The soldier at the door couldn't help but asked after seeing this.
However, he also knew that his lord was from a Taoist sect and had great respect for Taoists, so his words were not too rude.
"Thank you, I will go in and tell your master that Taoist Taixu is here." The jade tripod swept the dust.
The soldier glanced at Jade Cauldron, then turned around and went in to report. Jade Cauldron nodded and looked around.
"Is the Taoist priest right outside the door?"
Not long after, I saw a middle-aged man in his thirties, with a little beard, and a tall and straight body, who came after hearing the news with an excited expression.
When he saw the jade tripod, his eyes turned red, and he quickly stepped forward in surprise, knelt down and said, "Master is here. I would like to ask my disciples to bow to you."
Master... The two soldiers at the door looked at their master and then at the Taoist priest, their eyes full of shock.
"Get up!"
The jade tripod swept away the dust, smiled, stretched out his hand, helped Li Jing up, and said with a smile: "My disciple is getting married, how can I not come as my master!"
Li Jing raised his head and smiled, then quickly welcomed the jade tripod into the house and sat down in the living room.
"Master traveled far and wide, and the disciples were afraid that Master would be too late, so they sent a letter half a year in advance and asked Fire Crow to bring it to Master."
Li Jing smiled and said: "Of course, if it's too late to find the fire crow, it doesn't matter. The disciple will always wait until the master receives the letter before taking action."
"That's not possible. It's a good time and auspicious times. How can being a teacher delay you?"
Yuding smiled and said, "There isn't much time left before the wedding, right?"
"There's still half a month left!" Li Jing couldn't hide the joy on his face.
Yuding glanced at him: "Have you lost your virginity?"
Li Jing blushed and said, "Not yet!"
Good boy... Yu Ding glanced at him and pointed out with his hand.
Li Jing looked at the pointed finger, and his expression changed. He felt the dangerous aura from above. What was even more frightening was that the small finger actually made him feel that all escape routes were blocked and he had no choice but to resist.
Immediately, he understood the meaning of his master's exam, and he did not dare to be careless. He immediately moved his heart as he pleased, and powerful Qi spread throughout his body.
With the sound of "Winter", a layer of dull golden light appeared on his body in an instant, and his whole body seemed to be made of gold and iron.
Ding!
The finger of the jade tripod landed lightly on Li Jing's chest, making a soft sound like the collision of gold and iron. However, Li Jing's face suddenly changed color, and he felt a terrifying power like a stormy wave coming from that finger.
One wave is stronger than the other!
Katcha!
Finally, the golden light on Li Jing's body could no longer hold up, and was defeated and dissipated. The chair under him shattered into pieces, and he sat on the ground, his eyes bulging and he almost couldn't breathe.
After a long time, Li Jing finally let out a breath, and then he started panting heavily. He raised his hand to cover his chest and said with a bitter smile: "Master's attack is really heavy!"
"Have you ever heard that a strict master produces a good disciple? The more you practice, the more you sweat, and the less you bleed in war."
Yuding glanced at him and smiled and said: "The attack I just made as a teacher was followed by the strength of a true immortal. If you can hold on, it shows that you have not been lazy in these years. Nowadays, the earthly immortals who are just refining qi and the martial arts heavenly realm are no longer Your opponent."
"How can I dare to be lazy!" Li Jing laughed dryly and sighed: "Unfortunately, after being imprisoned... the martial arts that I have practiced for many years will be abolished."
"Who said that?" Yuding stroked his beard and smiled proudly.
"Ah?" Li Jing was dumbfounded and said hurriedly: "The jade book clearly says that this kung fu must be practiced by a child, and it will be disabled after being born, right?"
"If you can't practice it, your body will be broken. If you can practice it...how can you do it?"
Yu Ding smiled slyly, stood up and patted Li Jing's head gently: "Idiot disciple, aren't you afraid that you will be confused by the colorful world and delay your practice? You won't hate Master for lying to you, right?"
If Li Jing had to remain virginal and unable to have a son, how would those three old bastards Manjusri and Samantabhadra Taiyi spare him?
He can ignore the opinions of Manjushri Samantabhadra, but he must give Old Lady Yi’s face!
Li Jing sat on the ground blankly, and suddenly hugged Jade Cauldron's thigh with great joy: "Thank you, Master, thank you Master! I know that Master is doing it for my own good, so how dare I feel resentful?
Hahaha, thank you Master, thank you Master! "
Li Jing's happy and hearty laughter resounded in the hall.
Old Yinbi... In Li Jing's state of mind, Bi Fang hummed: "And this kid, I told you that the old guy was lying to you. If you don't believe me, now prove that I am right, right?"
As he was speaking, his expression suddenly changed and he became nervous.
Because he seemed to feel something when he saw the jade tripod and looked towards Li Jing, his deep eyes seemed to penetrate Li Jing and see him.
"How is it? The dangerous guy sealed in your body... is he honest?" Yuding asked.
You are the only one who is in danger, your whole family is in danger... Hearing Yuding's old words mentioned again, Bi Fang twitched. If he couldn't beat him, he would have exploded on the spot.
You say I'm dangerous and I can't beat you, so who is in danger?
Li Jing raised the corner of his mouth when he heard this: "Quite honest."
The master and the apprentice reunited after a long absence and began to reminisce about the past... Listening to Li Jing's experience of chasing love over the years, Yu Ding couldn't help but slap Li Jing again and scolded: "If you have such thoughts in cultivation, With perseverance, you have become an immortal long ago.”
In response, Li Jing smiled dryly and said: "The pursuit is different! Ahem, people have different pursuits!"
When he heard Li Jing talking about the latter part, Yuding's expression changed slightly: "You said...a few years ago, you were appreciated by the third prince?"
"Yes, the Third Highness has been missing for two years. After returning, he began to actively fight for the throne..."
Li Jing was talking to himself, while next to him, Yu Ding's expression became a little subtle, and he finally sighed.
You see... everything is exactly right!
It's one thing to have an answer in mind, but it's another thing to have the answer confirmed.
Originally, he should have firmly followed the footsteps of his master, helped Zhou defeat Shang, and quickly settled the matter of becoming a god so that everyone could live in peace.
But now that the future King of Shang and King of Zhou are both his apprentices, this...isn't a big deal!
Who does this ask him to help?
Yuding suddenly said: "The general soldier of Chentangguan is wearing small shoes for you, can you swallow this?"
"Master doesn't know something. It turns out that the commander-in-chief of Chentangguan is Guang Ling's third uncle. This disciple once had some trouble with the Yin family because of Guang Ling's affairs."
Li Jing smiled bitterly and said: "In order to help me, the Second and Third Highnesses also hated the Yin family and made them turn to support His Highness. Although the King liked the Third Highness to be crown prince, the ministers were not convinced and were afraid that the King would die on the day of his death." There will be a big chaos in the hall..."
"Don't worry, there won't be any chaos in the court."
Yuding wasn't too worried, not to mention that he was a disciple taught by Guigu, and secondly, he also knew about the original apotheosis... How can this scene be performed without Di Xin?
It can be said that the ownership of the throne has long been determined, and there will be no surprises.
As he said that, Yu Ding suddenly looked up at Li Jing and said, "Then does your wife have the same heart as you?"
"That's natural! Guang Ling almost broke off contact with the Yin family because she wanted to go with me... Now she's back to Chaoge to pick up her mother and younger brother," Li Jing couldn't help but beam when talking about this.
"That's good!" Yuding nodded happily.
"Report!"
While the two were talking, suddenly a noncommissioned officer hurried in and said, "General Li, please report urgently!"
"What's the matter?" Li Jing asked in a deep voice.
He has some general demeanor... Yuding smiled softly and nodded.
The herald handed over a document and said: "Someone came to report that there are monsters outside the customs that are causing trouble and harming people. The commander-in-chief asked General Li to go and arrest them!"
After Li Jing took it and read it, his expression sank, and he waved his hand and said, "Got it!"
After the messenger left, Li Jing said: "Master, I have something to do here. How about you stay in my house for a while? I have ordered people to sweep out the east courtyard. I have been waiting for you for a long time. It will be quieter there!"
"It doesn't matter, you go and do your work first!" Yuding waved his hand.
"Disciple, please retire!" Li Jing walked out of the living room, his expression immediately darkened, and he strode forward: "Bring me my clothes!"
"It shouldn't be a big problem..." Looking at Li Jing's back, Yuding's eyes flashed and he wasn't too worried.
Then he raised his head and glanced in the direction of the General Military Mansion.
After a long time, he finally withdrew his gaze.
It is undoubtedly best to leave Li Jing's matter to Li Jing, as his apprentice is capable enough to solve it.
His move... was inappropriate!
The reason why Li Jing didn't take action was undoubtedly due to the constraints of these regulations and his personality.
If Yang Jian and Long Ji were to wear these shoes, how could they suffer this injustice?
And tens of thousands of miles away, a drizzle of light rain fell on Chaoge.
Emperor Yi of the Shang Dynasty was lying on the king's bed in the palace. His hair was gray and messy, and his energy and blood were decaying. His life was like a candle in the wind that could be extinguished at any time.
Outside the palace, a number of civil servants and generals from Dashang were kneeling.
In the palace, several ministers were kneeling. In addition, Grand Master Wen Zhong, with gray hair and beard, and three middle-aged men stood beside the bed.
"Listen..."
Di Yi stared at the three middle-aged people, and finally stretched out his hand towards Zisheng. Seeing this, Zisheng quickly reached out and grabbed it.
The expressions of the two middle-aged men next to him changed greatly when they saw this, and the elder one gritted his teeth.
Emperor Yi said angrily: "The solitary biography is located in the third prince...Zi Shou!"
As soon as he said this, the older middle-aged man swayed, closed his eyes slumped, and clenched his fists in his sleeves.
Wen Zhong stared at the dying Emperor Yi. Although he felt a little sad in his heart, his eyes still showed expectation and yearning for freedom.
move!
If you leave, my promise to your father will be completed...
Zi Shou looked at Wen Zhong and cried: "Teacher, please use the method of extending life to help your father extend his life for another year!"
Wen Zhongyi sighed in surprise and said: "The method of extending one's life goes against the will of heaven. A person can only use it once in his life..."
"Shou'er, it's okay. Don't embarrass Grand Master."
Emperor Yi smiled, waved his hand, looked at Wen Zhong and said: "Grand Master!"
Wen Zhong hurriedly bowed and said: "Old minister is here!"
"Gu still remembers that when he was a child, ahem, he often played on Taishi's back. Taishi carried Gu on his back and stood at the top of Chaoge, looking down at the world."
Emperor Yi smiled and said: "Today, the end of the lonely life has come... ahem, it has arrived, but I still want to let the grand master carry me on my back to see it again. Ahem, the scenery of the world... is it okay?"
Wen Zhong sighed, cupped his fists and said, "Old minister... follow your orders!"
Then a group of palace people helped Emperor Yi put on his clothes. Wen Zhong stepped forward and carried Emperor Yi behind him, heading out of the palace.
"Your Majesty!" All the ministers were filled with sadness when they saw this scene.
"Father..." Zi Shou looked at this scene, his expression and eyes full of sadness.
He thought of his father's secret invitation to him to enter the palace last night.
"Your eldest brother aspires to the throne, is knowledgeable and talented, but has a peaceful temperament and is difficult to deal with internally and externally. Surrounded by wolves, this is a way for me, the great businessman, to survive."
"Your second brother is incompetent in literature and martial arts, and he is embarrassed in his big job!"
"After you leave, you must treat them well and do not harm their lives unless absolutely necessary!"
"The Grand Master once gave a decree to the Great Shang, saying that the Great Shang still has more than thirty years to live. I don't want to believe in this destiny, but I am still powerless."
"Today, when the survival of the Great Shang Dynasty is in danger, I can only entrust you with the burden of thousands of miles of mountains and rivers and hundreds of millions of dollars. This road is difficult and tiring, but I believe that my son will be able to help us, the Great Shang Dynasty. Make a bloody path!"
"The Huang family is a family of seven generations of loyal people. Huang Feihu is extremely talented. Gu has arranged for him to study with you since he was a child and become your arm. You and your sister are childhood sweethearts. After Gu leaves, you can marry into the family. The Huang family will definitely become your solid support. backing!"
"As for whether we can keep the Grand Master..."
The three princes and ministers watched quietly as Wen Zhong carried Emperor Yi out of the palace.
"The Grand Master's back is still as wide and comfortable as it was when he was a child!" Di Yi said with a smile.
Wen Zhong couldn't help but sighed after hearing this.
After all, he had watched Di Yi be born, grow up, grow old, and now be about to die.
He witnessed Di Yi's life, and this is the fragility of mortals!
He knew that Di Yi was definitely not worried about his son and the country at the moment, but he had been with Dashang Jiangshan for so many years, so he couldn't stay with him for the rest of his life, right?
Wen Zhong, you can't be soft-hearted, you must be hard-hearted... Wen Zhong warned himself in his heart.
"I remember that the Grand Master was like this when he was a child. After so many years, the Grand Master is still like this."
Di Yi smiled and whispered: "How wonderful it would be if Gu was not born in this imperial family, but was an ordinary person. Then he could go see the scenery outside and do what he wanted to do, instead of being blocked all his life. Trapped to death in the cage of the palace."
Sigh... Wen Zhong's nose felt a little sore, and he said with relief: "How can things in this world be as one wishes? If you enjoy what ordinary people cannot enjoy, you will naturally lose what ordinary people will not lose. This is what you gain and lose, but if you want to be worthy of it It’s just the heart!”
"For so many years, the person I feel most guilty about is the Grand Master."
Emperor Yi sighed: "The Grand Master was originally a godly figure, free and at ease, but my father entrusted me to the Grand Master, and made the Grand Master spend so many years alone..."
As long as you don't let me waste any more... Wen Zhong said with emotion: "Whatever the king said, these are what Wen Zhong is willing to do, and they are not forced by others."
"The Grand Master once approved my destiny for me, the Great Shang, and said that I, the Great Shang, still have more than thirty years to live. I don't want to believe this destiny, and I want to change my fate as a great Shang, but Gu... failed."
Emperor Yi suddenly burst into tears and said: "Could it be that my father, the Grand Master, and the country that Gu Fengfeng has spent his whole life building... are going to be destroyed like this? Gu Zhen is really unwilling to do so, but Gu... doesn't have time."
Wen Zhong also let out a long sigh after hearing this, feeling a little sad and alert at the same time.
Is your boy going to be left alone again?
Don't leave me alone with Wen Zhongzai. Don't say this. I don't know how to refuse!
"Master, please go!" Di Yi cried.
"Huh?" Wen Zhong was stunned, as if... something was wrong!
"I don't have time anymore. My father left my kingdom to me, and I leave it to my son. He was trained by the Grand Master."
Di Yi said sadly: "Let the child carry the hard work of his father, the grand master and the orphan to the end alone!"
This... Wen Zhong thought of Zi Shou and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, don't be so pessimistic. Everything depends on man-made things. Maybe things will turn around in the future!"
"Maybe there is, maybe there isn't, but I can't see it anymore. I don't care about anything else."
Emperor Yi was furious at this time and murmured: "In the end, you are the only one that Zixian can't worry about. After all... you have been with Zixian all his life, and you have done enough for Dashang and Zixian.
If Dashang encounters danger in the future, Zixian only hopes that you can withdraw and...retreat on your own as soon as possible, old...teacher..."
After using his last strength to say the word "teacher", Di Yi's head softly pressed against Di Yi's back, and he closed his eyes forever.
Wen Zhong's footsteps suddenly stopped, and he had already stepped on the last step of the highest building in the palace.
A few steps further is the view that the person behind him is looking forward to...
But I can't see it anymore.
The life of this great businessman king who had ruled the world for more than 20 years ended on this day.
Zixian was Emperor Yi's real name, and he had never heard it since the day he ascended the throne. At the moment of his death, Emperor Yi seemed to have changed from a king to the student he was before.
Wen Zhong stood there quietly, motionless, feeling empty in his heart, even sadder than the death of his best friend Di Yi.
Suddenly he raised his hand, and a tear appeared on his fingertips.
"Zixian, Zixian..."
Wen Zhong looked up with a wry smile and murmured: "You will really give me problems, teacher!"
If Di Yi took the initiative to ask him to stay and entrust Gu Gu to him, then he would definitely not agree.
Because he has finished what he promised Di Yi's father.
But if it's like this, he'll be really in trouble.
To be honest, he doesn't know now whether the student's last words were sincerely considering him, or whether he was playing the emotional card to plot him to stay.
Or maybe both.
But he knew that he could no longer leave Dashang alone.
