If you can't be a son-in-law, you have to be sanctified

Chapter 160 How could Gu Chenxiao apologize to others?

Following Su Houcang's voice, it spread in this illusory Yang Tribulation Sea.

The flames that were already burning hot became even more vigorous.

The fire was reflected in the eyes of Su Houcang and Lu Jing, and the figures of the two immortals began to become much clearer.

Lu Jing looked intently, on the two treasures held by the two immortals, there was a vague aura flowing out, blending with the vast world, embedded in every void.

Wherever Lu Jing looked, he could see streams of aura flowing, communicating with the world.

Su Houcang looked at Lu Jing still with probing eyes, looking at Lu Jing quietly.

And the mysterious aura on the phantoms of the two treasures that call for wind and rain is also gradually dissipating, becoming thinner and faintly visible.

"My impressions of the two treasures, Calling the Wind and Calling the Rain, stop there, but there must be many secrets hidden in these two immortal relics.

If you can get one of them, if you can comprehend the mystery of it, in a sense, you may already be close to the truth of the world. "

"For this world, it is also an excellent thing, if you can call the wind and rain without being ruled by heaven and earth, and you will not be punished by spring thunder, sky fire, Zhanshentai, or even the three stars in the sky that are always hanging above the sky!

At that time, if you had a kind heart, you could always save the displaced people in the middle of the river, let the severe drought in the middle of the river return to the past, and let them return to their hometown. "

Su Houcang has always been known for his taciturnity in the Dafu Dynasty.

But under the sky, beside Lu Jing, the Yuanshen was already connected to Dafu Dazhuguo, but he didn't hesitate to speak.

Lu Jingyuan looked at Yang Jiehai and the many visions from a distance.

This illusory scene constructed by primordial spirit and supernatural power is constantly collapsing.

The world returned to reality, he was still standing on the chariot, and Su Houcang beside him was still holding his hands behind his back, majestic and majestic.

Lu Jing lowered his head in thought, then raised his head and asked, "Dazhu Kingdom, there is something that Lu Jing doesn't understand."

Su Houcang nodded towards Lu Jing, so Lu Jing spoke.

Lu Jingdao: "This pre-temple test is unusual, the crown prince and the Seventh Prince are competing for supremacy, and they recruited heroes who were under 25 years old at the time, hoping to win the pre-temple test.

It is precisely because of these reasons that other giants and generals are not willing to compete for the victory in the palace test this time.

Now Da Zhu Kingdom came to persuade me to take part in the palace test, hoping that I would get one of the two treasures called Wind and Rain. If the Crown Prince and the Seventh Prince notice such actions, they will definitely get angry.

Why does Dazhuguo think that Lu Jing is capable of ignoring the anger of these two precious people? "

Su Houcang's expression remained unchanged when he heard Lu Jing's words, and said: "The prince and the seventh prince are immature, and they compete with each other, but I look at the characters under their command, there are people with extraordinary talents, and there are also people with extraordinary talents.

Taken out alone, they are all first-class geniuses.

But when it comes to saber and sword spirit, they are not as good as you. "

"If you use your own ability to win this victory, you only need to get an official position in front of the palace. No matter whether it is the prince's line or the seventh prince's line, they will never dare to kill you blatantly."

"And since you have the courage to drag the corpse to Dragon Dance Street, this level of protection is probably enough."

"And..." Su Houcang turned his head, with fire shining in his eyes: "If you can really comprehend the sword and sword spirit in the two treasures of calling the wind and calling the rain, let alone in this great ambush, even in this vast world, you will have a transcendent status.

As long as you uphold goodness in your heart, call the wind and call the rain, and return many barren worlds to green water and green mountains, in the hearts of countless ordinary people, you will naturally have great merit. "

"Although it is only fame, it can also resist enemies. If the Seventh Prince wants to be crowned prince, he must not lose the hearts of the people, and he never wants to be charged with killing a sage... In short, if you can win this victory in the palace test, it will be great for you It’s a good thing in itself.”

Although Su Houcang's tone was straightforward, he was very patient when he spoke, and he mentioned many benefits of winning the palace test...

It was as if he, the unrivaled figure who commanded the army, was really looking forward to Lu Jing's ability to take charge of the two immortal treasures.

Lu Jing was curious, and asked, "Da Zhuguo, you persuaded me to take part in the pre-temple test, but if I win the pre-temple test, but still can't comprehend the mysteries of those two treasures, and still can't call the wind and rain, what should I do?" ?”

Su Houcang looked down at the barren Hezhong Road. At this time, it was winter, and there had been several snowfalls in Taixuanjing, but there was still no snowfall here.

"I presented the two treasures to the court because I wanted to use the power of the court to choose two people who can control them, but I never thought that the holy king would use this sword as a reward for the test in front of the palace."

"I often come to this river road, and seeing the devastation everywhere, I am always a little angry and helpless, because even if I practice to this level, I am still irreversible.

I have killed people in the wild all my life, and the number of creatures who died under my hands is unknown. Once upon a time, I was still a Confucian scholar who sat at the desk and read all day long. I was quite yearning for this magnificent and bizarre world.

Later, I saw such a tragedy. "

Su Houcang said slowly: "People are like this, when they should kill, they kill, and when they feel pity, they always do small things to cover up their sins.

Thinking about it carefully, the sword energy in the world, the awe-inspiring energy in the chest, and the knife intent full of vitality, indeed match the immortal treasure.

I found those two treasures, and persuaded you to take part in the pre-temple test, and so on, I have done my best on this matter.

As for the final result, it is beyond the imagination of ordinary people, you... try your best. "

From the corner of Lu Jing's eyes, he caught Su Houcang's tall figure at this time.

He stood on the chariot, with his hands behind his back, and except for the fine beard, his face looked extraordinarily elegant.

But when Lu Jing saw Su Houcang's eyes, he felt that the dominance of the world was brewing in them, and an immortal murderous intent was brewing in them!
He and Lu Jing met only once, so he boarded his chariot in Lu Jing and came to this barren place to witness Tai Xuanjing's suffering.

This seems a bit hasty, a bit abrupt.

But in fact, the reason why this domineering Dazhu Kingdom acted in this way was actually for the good obsession left in his heart.

Kill when you kill, save when you save!
This is probably what Su Houcang holds in his heart.

So Lu Jing, who was standing beside Su Houcang, nodded his head.

"Lu Jing is willing to give it a try. If he can get the wind-calling and rain-calling swords and understand the heavenly rules, Lu Jing will definitely come to Hezhong Road again."

Su Houcang bowed his head to think for a while, and solemnly reminded: "The Spring Thunder Saber Intent you have brewed is already extremely extraordinary, but your Qi and blood cultivation is a little weaker, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold the Breathing Wind Saber.

If something cannot be done, there is no need to hold on, just take the Rain Calling Sword. "

Lu Jing's breath was calm, even with people like Da Zhuguo by his side, he didn't feel nervous at all, he just solemnly agreed.

Su Houcang's purpose of bringing Lu Jingqian to Hezhong Road had been achieved, so with a thought in his mind, the two BMWs riding on the stars hissed and headed towards Taixuanjing.

"If you can really make the disaster-stricken area of ​​the river return to green mountains and green waters, then I, Su Houcang, owe you a favor."

He was sitting on the chariot with a long breath.

Lu Jing didn't think much about it, but shook his head: "Dazhu Kingdom doesn't have to be like this, originally Lu Jing also wanted to go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to see the two treasures of calling the wind and calling the rain because of some things.

Since Da Zhuguo came to look for me with kind thoughts, I naturally want to repay him with kindness.

Since I wanted to go to see the grand test in front of the palace, how can I accept the favor of Dazhu Kingdom? "

"As for the disaster in the middle of the river..."

At this point in Lu Jing's words, he smiled sincerely: "The Buddha said that saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda.

The sages have a saying, sympathize with the evil of others, delight in the kindness of others, help others in need, and save others in danger;

There is also a saying: The heart of compassion is benevolence!

If ordinary beings can be saved from disasters, Lu Jing is naturally willing to give it a try, so why does he need people from Dazhu Kingdom to inform me? "

Da Zhuguo glanced at Lu Jing, and didn't say anything more, just nodded.

The two rode on the chariot like this and headed towards Taixuanjing.

"I don't trust you alone in this matter."

As Taixuanjing was approaching, Da Zhuguo suddenly said, "I once visited Nanguo's mansion and met Nan Heyu, the master of swordsmanship in Nanguo's mansion.

She bred an extremely rare feathered sword heart with an ordinary sword heart seed. Although she has deficiencies now, it is mostly due to her young age. She will definitely get the true meaning of swordsmanship after some training.

Because of this, I also mentioned this matter in front of Nan Heyu, but I never took her to the middle of the river.

She still has a weakness in her temperament, and she is still a little hesitant, so don't be surprised if you meet Nan Heyu in the test in front of the palace. "

Nanheyu?
Lu Jing didn't care about this matter: "Since the test in front of the palace uses two swords to test the wind and rain, naturally each depends on his own ability.

If Miss Nan's family can activate the Rain Calling Sword, if she can use this immortal treasure to call down heavy rain and save the world in the middle of the river, Lu Jing will naturally bow down. "

Da Zhuguo's eyes moved slightly, and he turned his head to look at Lu Jing seriously, with a rare look of interest in his eyes.

"I know that there is some quarrel between Nan Heyu and you. It is a good thing that you can treat it with such a normal heart."

Lu Jing said: "It's not really a grudge, since those things in the past have already passed, why do you need to keep them in your heart all the time?

I have nothing to do with the Nanguo government and Miss Nan's family, and I have never even seen that Miss Nan's family from the beginning to the end. She is just a rumored figure to me, so naturally I can treat her with a normal heart. "

Hearing Lu Jing's magnanimity, Da Zhuguo nodded slightly, and then said again: "I see that Nan He Yu's temperament is quite soft, and I invite her into the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and she always takes into account the dispute between the crown prince and the seventh prince. Considering that if she takes a look at the two swords that call for wind and rain, it will affect the Nanguo government, so she is always hesitating.

Whether you can meet her in the Hall of Supreme Harmony is actually still unknown, so don't worry too much about it. "

...If there were other court officials here, they would be amazed that Su Houcang, who has always been taciturn, doesn't like to communicate with others, and has been extremely domineering through previous military exploits, is so approachable to a junior like Lu Jing.

The conversation between the two was even somewhat homely.

Here and now, it's late at night.

Su Houcang's shining golden chariot flew into Taixuanjing and landed on Yanglu Street.

Lu Jing saluted Da Zhuguo, the two didn't say much more, Su Houcang just waved his hands casually, the chariot flew up again, disappeared into the void.

When Da Zhuguo left, he took a long look at the end of Yanglu Street and shook his head again.

Lu Jing seemed to be aware of it, and his eyes became deeper and deeper.

Time passed, and more than ten days had passed quietly.

For more than ten days, Taixuanjing will naturally not change much, the only difference is...

It seems that there are monsters buried in Taixuanjing, and in just ten days, more than a dozen boys and girls have disappeared inexplicably.

Moreover, these boys and girls are not the children of officials, but they are often from well-off families. Most of them have no worries about food and clothing on weekdays, and have never seen any suffering.

It is precisely because of their family background that many rumors spread in Xuandu. If those people in the east city or the north city who ran around in the streets and lanes in a hurry, relying on begging and stealing for a living disappeared, let alone rumors. No one cares at all.

Except for this matter...

Taixuan Palace issued a heavenly edict, and one month later, that is, the twentieth of the first lunar month next year, the punishment of the Seventh Prince to contemplate his mistakes behind closed doors was finally over, and the Holy Monarch personally passed down the decree, ordering the Seventh Prince to leave the palace to open the palace!
For the people of Taixuanjing, this incident is actually a happy event.

Royal affairs often affect the hearts of mortals. It is a big event even in Taixuanjing for a prince to open a mansion.

At that time, in order to show the majesty of the royal family, the residence of the seventh prince will inevitably decorate the streets, hang up lanterns, and find many singing and dancing geisha to reward the common people.

Although the common people don't know who will visit the Seventh Prince's mansion on the day of the opening of the mansion, and how luxurious it will be.

But they can see the performances on the street to reward them, they can also drink some drinks and snacks in the prince's mansion, and eat some food that they can't eat on weekdays, and they will naturally be happy in their hearts.

In the past ten days or so, Lu Jing still followed the routine. After studying and practicing every day, he went to the palace to teach the thirteen princes, and went to the library to continue his ink and ink lessons.

It's already deep winter now.

Pedestrians on the street have basically put on thick cotton-padded jackets.

On this day, Lu Jing was writing couplets in his room.

After all, the end of the year is approaching, so it is not a waste of time to buy some new year goods early and write some couplets early.

Qingyue waited beside Lu Jing, grinding ink for Lu Jing, while turning her head to watch Lu Jing write.

In addition to using cursive script for the couplets prepared for my small courtyard.

The rest of the couplets Lu Jing are written in capital letters to show solemnity.

"Master Jing, I think this couplet is very well written.

Dancing phoenix, auspicious luan, singing and singing to welcome the new year everywhere, wearing stars and wearing moon and purple bamboo, Ning climbs up every year. "

Qingyue read the words on the couplet in a low voice, her eyebrows were filled with admiration for Lu Jing as always.

Lu Jing had long been accustomed to Qingyue's eyes, so he casually handed the couplet to Qingyue and said, "You guessed it right, this couplet was written for my family.

Let's go out and paste it together. "

Qingyue was wearing a well-known thin padded jacket in Sanghuai Mansion, and took the couplet from Lu Jing's hand. Lu Jing brought the paste that had been boiled, and the two went to the door together.

Qingyue is gentle by nature, but after all she is a pure-hearted daughter who has never been in contact with many people.

This morning, the mist regenerated, and the cold air gushed out. Qingyue walked beside Lu Jing, with her red lips slightly opened, and breathed into the air, letting out streams of hot air.

The heat suddenly appeared, and she stretched out her hand again to disturb the heat, having a great time playing.

Lu Jing looked at the girl next to him, then at the couplet in her hand, and at his small courtyard which was well taken care of by Qingyue, feeling more and more in his heart...

A place like this is home.

You Qingyue takes care of this place every day, waiting here. He reads, practices, and eats in the main house every day. I was thinking about writing a few couplets and posting them at the door.

Because of many things, this small courtyard is Lu Jing's real home.

The two hurriedly applied the paste, and carefully pasted the edges of the couplet, erasing the rhythm on it.

There is such a festive couplet on the gate of the small courtyard.

"Young master, why didn't we have a horizontal comment on this couplet?"

Qingyue rolled up her sleeves, crossed her hips in satisfaction, and looked up and down for a long time before she saw some clues.

Lu Jingdao: "Let's wait until New Year's Eve to write the Hengpi. On New Year's Eve, we will have a reunion dinner and post couplets. There is also a festive atmosphere."

Qingyue turned her head and thought for a while, and felt that what Lu Jing was thinking was exactly what she wanted, with a warm smile on her face, her eyes still lingering on the couplet.

Right now.

The next door, that is, the door of Pei Yingui's courtyard opened, and Lu Jing subconsciously thought it was Miss Hancai who heard their voices and came out to take a look.

However, it was discovered that the person who opened the door was Pei Yingui, who was dressed in white gauze, tall and tall, with long hair tied behind his back.

Pei Yingui poked his head out with obvious hesitation in his eyes.

"It's Miss Pei." Qingyue looked happier when she saw Pei Yingui: "Miss Pei, wait a moment."

She hurried back to the house, but returned within a dozen breaths, with another couplet already in her hand.

"Miss Pei, my young master wrote this specially for your yard. The young master wrote it very seriously. In the morning, he said that he would send it to you when the ink was dry."

Qingyue handed the couplet to Pei Yingui.

Pei Yingui's gaze fell on the couplet, and he looked up again to see the festive color at the entrance of Lu Jing's small courtyard, and reached out to take it without hesitation.

For more than ten days, Miss Hancai and Qingyue have often chatted about flowers and plants, and occasionally went shopping together.

Just because they got on better, they even took Qingyue and Pei Yingui to have dinner together a few times.

All in all, Pei Yingui was no longer so cold and cold compared to before. When he met Lu Jing alone on weekdays, he would stop to chat with Lu Jing.

Pei Yingui spread out the couplet and looked carefully.

But I saw that the text on the couplet was written in very upright regular script.

"God's will is good in time."

"This place of peace of mind is my hometown."

Horizontal comment: "Everywhere is happy."

When Pei Yingui saw these two lines of text, his expression froze suddenly, and he looked up at Lu Jing.

Lu Jing was taking care of the bubbles on the couplets in front of the door, and explained casually: "This couplet is not flat, but I think the couplets are nothing more than expressing the vision in people's hearts, and it doesn't matter whether it is flat or not."

Pei Yingui withdrew his eyes, looked at the couplet for a few more breaths, and then saluted Lu Jing.

"Thank you, Mr. Lu Jing."

Lu Jing just turned his head and smiled at her, since he was busy again.

Pei Yingui never went back to his courtyard, but stood in front of the door, watching Lu Jing and Qingyue doing things.

After a long time, Pei Yingui spoke with these hesitations, and said: "In the hometown of Hancai and I, in addition to posting couplets at the end of the year, we also hang lanterns in front of the door.

Hancai and I have already bought some paper and bamboo materials for making lanterns, and when they are ready, we will bring them to Mr. Lu Jing and Qingyue. "

Lu Jing didn't refuse, and just like Pei Yingui, he said thank you.

Pei Yingui shook his head politely, but his steps still hesitated.

Lu Jing glanced at Pei Yingui, seeing the hesitation of this savior who usually speaks very little, he already guessed something in his heart.

It wasn't until he finally smoothed out all the paste in the couplet that he clapped his hands, dusted off his hands, and asked, "Miss Pei, what do you want to say to me?"

Pei Yingui, who was still hesitating, heard Lu Jing's question, and finally stopped hesitating. He raised his head and said, "Actually, I told Mr. Lu Jing once before that I wanted to ask Mr. Lu Jing for help."

"But it's okay to say." Lu Jing was rather free and easy: "Miss Pei once helped me, and I always wanted to repay it, but there was no suitable opportunity."

Pei Yingui's cheeks were slightly red, and she glanced sideways at Qingyue, but she didn't shy away from it, she just said in a low voice: "Hancai and I don't know many words, and when we were still in our hometown, we didn't socialize with others. It doesn't matter.

But now that we are here in Taixuanjing, it will be inconvenient if we don’t learn some characters, so..."

Pei Yingui said so.

Lu Jing was a little surprised that Pei Yingui looked like a lady from a great family, both in demeanor and words. Although his demeanor was a little colder, he treated people well, and behaved with courtesy.

He didn't expect that Pei Yingui and Hancai couldn't read.

"Naturally, it doesn't matter. I am Mr. Shulou myself, and I also teach calligraphy and ink. I will spend half an hour every day in the future, and I will soon be able to master a lot of characters."

"If that's the case, it's OK for Yingui to bother Mr. Lu Jing."

Pei Yingui saluted Lu Jing, and made an appointment with Lu Jing to enter the courtyard.

Qingyue frowned and smiled, with a bit of complacency in her eyes, as if she was saying to Lu Jing: "Look, Miss Pei can't read, but I can already write small letters with hairpin flowers..."

Lu Jing rubbed Qingyue's long hair. The two were about to enter the house when a person came slowly from the empty mountain alley.

The man was dressed quite strangely, and he even wore a black armor in Taixuanjing. Lu Jing could tell at a glance that this mysterious armor was not the standard of several military camps in Taixuanjing.

But Pei Yingui, who had just walked into the small courtyard and was sitting in the courtyard watching the white plum, suddenly changed slightly.

A cold light flashed in her eyes, and then disappeared in an instant.

And the Xuanjia man had already come to Lu Jingyuan and saluted Lu Jing.

"Ask for a painting?"

Lu Jing narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked, "I don't know why you asked for a painting?"

The Xuanjia man was very courteous and polite: "It's for my master. My master hopes that Mr. can draw a picture of... a magnificent palace for him."

Lu Jing asked, "Who is your master?"

"My master's name is Gu Chenxiao, he is the Crown Prince of Qi, and I met Mr. Wang before, Mr. Wang... Enze pen and ink.

My master was indeed rude at the time, and now he has sent me to prepare a small gift as an apology. "

The Xuanjia man looked solemn and spoke like this.

And Pei Yin in the courtyard frowned suddenly when he returned...

"apologize?"

"How could Gu Chenxiao apologize to others?"

　Transition chapter, the end of the month, don't forget to clear the monthly pass.
