Luo Weiran jumped up to Wan Xingchen and whispered a few words. Wan Xingchen nodded and walked slowly towards Xiao Yijiu. He rummaged through his arms and took out a small porcelain bottle and handed it to Xiao Yijiu: "Do you still remember this?"
Xiao Yijiu frowned slightly, reached out to take the porcelain bottle, opened it and smelled it.
"very familiar¡¡"
He shook his head: "What is this?"
"Little Golden Pill"
Wan Xingchen sighed: "I haven't refined much in the past few years. I thought I would give it to the four of you. When I gave it to you, you didn't want it. You said you would never use this thing in your life. At that time You are more conceited than Qing Zheng, but Qing Zheng took his share I have been keeping these little golden elixirs for you, and you will need them if you go west. "
"Westward?"
Xiao Yijiu asked: "Why should I go west?"
Wan Xingchen was startled. Thinking of Luo Weiran's reminder just now, he glanced at Xiao Yijiu angrily: "The brain is seriously damaged"
He sighed and said: "I know that even if I am your master, it is wrong to arrange the direction of your life. Although I can use a very just excuse to say that tens of thousands of people died because of your ambition, so I have a reason Let you go west to forgive me. But it is obviously hypocritical No one can arrange the life and death of others, but now I have to do this. When I first saw you, I changed your name. It is said that even if a person has only one point of talent but nine points of hard work, he will be perfect."
"Actually, you are the kind of person with nine points of talent Although I have noticed your paranoia a long time ago, I have never intervened because I don't want to arrange other people's lives. Everyone has their own Opinion and choice, whatever path you choose will have consequences. Today I am going to break my promise"
He took off a jade pendant from his belt, stretched out his hand and smoothed the pattern on the jade pendant. The side of the jade pendant became smooth and flat, and a layer of powder fell down along his hand. He wrote four words on the jade pendant with his fingers, and then hung the jade pendant around Xiao Yijiu's neck.
Xiao Yijiu did not resist or stop him from beginning to end, but quietly looked at the frail old man in front of him.
Wan Xingchen waved and asked Luo Weiran to get a set of clothes.
He put it on for Xiao Yijiu with his own hands: "If you forget what you are going to do, just take a look at this jade pendant. Of course, maybe you will forget even the existence of the jade pendant. Just leave it to fate If you forget everything and don't get out of Sui Dynasty. , then I¡¯ll find you again.¡±
Xiao Yijiu took out the jade pendant from his clothes, looked at it, and murmured four words: "Go west to destroy the Buddha."
He asked: "Why?"
Wan Xingchen looked at him and said: "Don't you want to be the person closest to the sky? The Buddhist sect is known as the guardian of the sky. They guard the door that connects heaven and earth, so if you want to get close to the sky, you can only Go find them."
"good"
Xiao Yijiu nodded, turned around and walked a few steps before suddenly turning back and asking: "Who are you? Why do I feel so familiar with you?"
Wan Xingchen waved his hand: "Let's go, what does it matter who I am?"
Xiao Yijiu said yes and continued to move forward. He walked out a few steps and seemed to have forgotten something, and then he felt four words hovering in his mind.
Journey to the West to Destroy the Buddha
These four words were sent into his mind by Wan Xingchen using his mind power. If it weren't for him, no one else would be able to do this. Xiao Yijiu looked down and saw the jade pendant on his chest, and then continued walking forward. After walking twenty or thirty steps, he stopped again. After a pause, he saw the jade pendant again, and then continued to move forward.
"I didn't expect that I would lie to others at such an old age, and the person I lied to was my disciple Regardless of whether Yijiu really went west and killed many people, I will have to bear the blame after all. I only hope that the old man will Just don¡¯t punish me by shortening my life span. The older you get, the more greedy you become. Besides I still have a few things to do.¡±
Wan Xingchen sighed and said.
At this moment, a general in iron armor rode up from a distance, pointed at the stars with his long spear and said: "Who are you? Why should you let the prisoner go! Your Majesty has no decree to pardon this person. You But letting him go is disrespectful!"
Wan Xingchen glanced at him indifferently and suddenly smiled: "Is it disrespectful to resist the decree? This is not the first time I have done this kind of thing."
This Forbidden Army general obviously didn't know who Wan Xingchen was, and most of the Forbidden Army generals came from noble families and were already domineering. When Wan Xingchen said such words, he immediately became furious. He turned to point his long sword at Luo Weiran and said angrily: "Luo Weiran" Commander, you people from the Imperial Guards Department??Is it so presumptuous? If you don't care, don't blame me for speaking out in front of His Majesty! "
¡°How could a Forbidden Army general dare to speak to Luo Weiran like this before his status in the Ouchi Guards Department fell?
Luo Weiran looked at him and asked word for word: "Do you think that if I kill you, Your Majesty will kill me to save your life?"
The general of the Forbidden Army was startled, and his face obviously changed: "You"
"roll"
Luo Weiran drank, then waved his hand. A bolt of sword energy shot out, slicing open the horse the general was sitting on. The horse's head fell to the ground with a plop. The general jumped up subconsciously but suddenly found that several air pockets on his body were sealed by sword energy. He screamed and fell to the ground hard.
"Luo Weiran!"
The man got up in embarrassment and tried to grab his long penis, only to find that the penis was broken.
At this moment, Su Buwei rushed over from a distance: "Your Majesty's decree, let Xiao Yijiu leave!"
¡¡
¡¡
Luo Weiran supported Wan Xingchen and walked slowly towards Dongnuan Pavilion, while Su Buwei, the eunuch of Bingbi, followed respectfully. In front of this old man, Su Buwei knew that he had nothing to be proud of.
"Wei Ran do you know why your cultivation has not improved at all over the years?"
Wan Xingchen asked softly as he walked: "Although your cultivation when you came down the mountain is not stronger than it is now, it is purer. More than ten years ago, Qing fought through that barrier and reached a place where even I had to It's amazing. More than ten years later, Yijiu also broke through that barrier. Although he became incomplete, he still took that step after all. Another dozen years later, maybe Qingniu will also reach this point. Have you ever thought about what your cultivation will be like in ten years?"
Luo Weiran was silent for a while and then replied with a somewhat sad tone: "It's not as good as now."
Wan Xingchen nodded: "You are right, you may not be as good as you are now in more than ten years."
"Do you know why?"
he asks.
Luo Weiran hesitated and glanced at Su Buwei who was following behind.
"That's why"
Wan Xingchen smiled helplessly and said: "Ever since you put on this official uniform, you have become timid and hesitant. You have too many things to consider, how can you focus on practice? The intrigues and power struggles in the court Conflict was what you hated most, but now you are deeply involved in it Qing Zheng was able to stay out of the intrigue, but you were outside of it and now you can't get out of it if you spend half of your time in the past ten years. How could he not be able to block a hundred and ninety-one blows if he didn't look down on you, you would have died before I came."
"That's what the master taught me."
Luo Weiran lowered his head.
"This is not a lesson to you."
Wan Xingchen said: "After I accepted the four of you, plus a few words of encouragement from Zhou Banchuan, I barely had four and a half apprentices for the rest of my life. Have you ever seen me reprimand and teach whom? I just opened a door In terms of cultivation, it is your own business to how far you have reached it. Qing Zheng has seen through eight points of things in this door. Even if Yijiu is crazy, he has seen through five points. But you are so talented that you have not seen one point yet. see through."
"Disciple Disciple has indeed become worried about gains and losses."
Luo Weiran sighed.
"Because you start to become obsessed with these things."
Wan Xingchen smiled and said: "Power, statusthese things bind your hands and feet and your heart."
He paused and asked: "If you understand it at any time, go to the Yanwuyuan library. It's such a big building, and there are so many books in it that I can't sort it out now. I originally fell in love with a little guy. He can be a helper, but he is destined to be in deeper trouble than you. But he is born to be this kind of person, and you are not."
When Su Buwei heard these words, his body trembled slightly, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.
"I have lived in Chang'an City for more than a hundred years."
Wan Xingchen said in a calm tone: "I have seen emperors in the past, and I have also seen too many messy people. Emperors have changed from generation to generation, and I have watched the people of the Yang family gradually make the entire Central Plains stable and peaceful. So I am very happy, since After Emperor Taizong, I stopped interfering in the affairs of the court because I know that the Yang family is capable of doing a good job. But if someone forgets that I am still alive, I don't mind going out and walking around."
In an instant, Su Buwei's clothes were soaked with sweat.
He lowered his head, not daring to look at the old man's trembling back.
He suddenly found that there was an extra knife in his heart.?But the handle of the knife is in someone else's hand.
"When Emperor Taizu met me"
Wan Xingchen said with a smile: "He kowtowed three times and wanted to ask me to be his teacher. I didn't agree because his mind was on the world and not on practice. So he kowtowed three more times and wanted to ask me to protect the descendants of the Yang family. I agreed. "I have remembered this sentence for more than a hundred years, but the Yang family wants to forget it?"
¡¡
¡¡
Dong Nuan Pavilion
The emperor respectfully handed over a cup of hot tea, then took two steps back and stood to one side, as if he were a child who had just entered school, full of fear and respect for his husband.
Wan Xingchen did not drink the cup of tea, nor did he speak.
The emperor didn¡¯t dare to speak, or even look at Wan Xingchen¡¯s face.
I don't know how long it took, but Wan Xingchen breathed a sigh of relief and said calmly: "I will die sooner or later. No one in this world can live forever. You don't have to test me with Luo Weiran. I promised too much." Emperor Zu has been doing it. If I want to influence you Yang family, there is no need to wait until now. Xiao Yijiu is my disciple. I also know why you are scared. I understand better what you are worried about and what you are afraid of. You are a person who can become an emperor through the ages, but because of your special reasons, you are becoming more and more paranoid. It is not wrong to be paranoid. It¡¯s the direction.¡±
He looked at the emperor and said: "I said, I will not arrange other people's lives. I quietly watched this empire from birth to rise, and I don't want to see it collapse before I die. You are a smart man, you should know What do I mean? You keep Xiao Yijiu from killing, and you use an eunuch to squeeze out Luo Weiran. Of course I understand what you want to do. Emperor Do you know that if there is no one you can completely trust in this life? Man, what a sad thing it is?¡±
After saying this, Wan Xingchen slowly stood up.
"I'm going back, I won't delay you in handling court affairs."
The emperor lowered his head and turned pale.
When Wan Xingchen walked to the door, he paused again. He looked back at the emperor and said sadly: "Can you do everything? Even God cannot arrange his own affairs. Even if you can, do you plan to let him do it?" Your only son has become a man who just sits on the throne and has nothing to do? An emperor who has nothing to do and just watches the sun rise and set. No matter how long or short your life is, the most successful thing is not the arrangement. Don¡¯t worry about everything, just be yourself.¡±
"It's just these four words, how difficult is it?"
