great mandate

Luo Jinyu stayed in prison for three years, not to mention the torture, after all, she suffered a lot of crimes, and the bones of her body were at the root of her disease.Now I have fainted from the cold again, and although I have taken good care of it for a few days, I am still sleepy.

He finished today's medicine, put the bowl on the small table, leaned on the soft pillow, and looked at the plum tree outside the window.

Looking out from this window, there is only that plum blossom. I don't know whether it is intentional or unintentional. In short, it has a different artistic conception.

When Shen Wuji returned to the room, he saw Luo Jinyu staring at the plum blossoms in a daze.

He had just received Xifeng's "teachings" and wanted to ease the atmosphere, so he searched for words and said, "It seems that you scholars like to watch plum blossoms."

Luo Jinyu withdrew her gaze, looked at him, and replied, "Maybe. I don't know about the others."

"Hmph, but our family likes peonies, which are rich and colorful and worthy of national beauty. Plum blossoms are too stingy." Shen Wuji snorted, "But you scholars like these stingy things, plum, orchid, and bamboo. in this way."

Luo Jinyu didn't speak.

Shen Wuji said again: "But since you like plum blossoms, you should take it as your ambition. Since ancient times, literati and scholars have all said that plum blossoms are tough. When all flowers are afraid of the cold, they are the only ones that bloom in the cold and are not afraid of wind and snow."

Luo Jinyu said: "Thank you for your guidance, sir."

"I think you don't need our family's guidance." Shen Wuji looked away, looked at the plum blossoms outside the window, and said, "Our family is just a rootless eunuch, how can it compare with you scholars? Just here, shy face to fight against the door, It’s just a joke.”

When he said this, he was more gentle and sincere than before when he compared himself to a "eunuch", and he was not still mocking Luo Jinyu.

Luo Jinyu sighed slightly: "In the past, I really misunderstood my father-in-law a lot."

Shen Wuji didn't speak, still looking at the plum blossoms, but his ears perked up.

Luo Jinyu continued: "Father, Luoyang Mountain——"

When Shen Wuji heard the name, he was taken aback, and turned to look at him: "Luoyang Mountain? Is he your father? You are talking about—"

Luo Jinyu lowered her eyes and nodded: "It is indeed the Luoyang Mountain that Eunuch thinks about."

Shen Wuji shook his head: "Luoyang Mountain was full of gangsters 19 years ago, you—"

"When my father was beheaded, I was not yet born. I was a posthumous child." Luo Jinyu said calmly, "When the house was ransacked, my mother was pregnant and was rescued by luck."

Shen Wuji was stunned for a while, and said with emotion: "No wonder..."

No wonder Luo Jinyu hated eunuchs so much.

The man from Luoyang Mountain, once famous all over the world as a Confucian, was 25 years old and won three yuans. He has been an official in the court for many years. He copied and cut all the families, implicating the nine clans.

It is rumored that on the day Luoyang Mountain beheaded, it was snowing in June.

"Cao Guozhong is the father-in-law of the father-in-law, and he loves the father-in-law very much." Luo Jinyu said lightly, "That's why I hate the father-in-law very much."

Shen Wuji looked at him in surprise for a while, and said: "It's not... isn't it because our family gave you those poems and songs?"

"That will only make me avoid my father-in-law, but will not make me hate him to the bone." Luo Jinyu said.

Shen Wuji thought for a while, and said: "But..."

"However, a year ago, it was the father-in-law who killed Cao Guozhong."

Luo Jinyu looked at him calmly, "It's known from below, and the world knows it. Father-in-law is pretending to flatter Cao thief, but in fact he understands the righteousness. He only wants to cooperate with the inside and outside, and bring down Cao thief."

Shen Wuji was silent for a while, then smiled suddenly, stood up, stood with his hands behind his back, and said disdainfully: "If you kill Cao Guozhong, you will say that our family understands righteousness, but Cao Guozhong said that our family has broken faith. How can this world be so easily determined? It’s nothing more than who gets the power, who has the final say. Now in the eyes of many people, our family is just the second Cao Guozhong.”

"A deer is a deer after all, and a horse is a horse after all. Relying on power to refer to a deer as a horse can only be concealed for a moment, but it can't be concealed from the glorious history of future generations. The world is watching." Luo Jinyu said, "Why do you say those depressing things? Word."

"You're not depressed." Shen Wuji glanced at him sideways, his eyes like flying phoenixes, "Our family thought that after three years in prison, you were willing to set foot in our house, which is enough to be depressed."

"Thank you for your father-in-law's internal and external support in the past three years. Only then can my mother be buried, so that my mother will not be killed in the wilderness, and I will be released from prison in one piece." Luo Jinyu was about to get up as she said.

Shen Wuji quickly pinned him down: "Talk as soon as you talk, and what do you do when you get up again? It's so easy, you have to die on New Year's Eve—"

Shen Wuji hurriedly swallowed back the second half of the words.

Seeing his embarrassed appearance, Luo Jinyu smiled slightly: "Elder-in-law is hard-spoken and soft-hearted, I understand."

"Who—who is hard-spoken and soft-hearted." Shen Wuji rolled his eyes at him, "Our family is afraid that you will seek bad luck during the Chinese New Year."

Luo Jinyu smiled again.

Shen Wuji couldn't help but secretly looked at him and smiled.

Luo Jinyu is very cold when he is not smiling, but when he smiles, it is like snow melting and flowers blooming.

Shen Wuji was watched by him with such a smile for a while, and couldn't help but said embarrassingly: "Our family also wanted to rescue you from prison, but Cao thief was watching closely at that time, afraid that he would miss the clue, so I can only wrong you Later, although Bandit Cao was exterminated, but...but it was complicated inside, and there were many things that I didn’t want to say to spoil your ears. In short, it’s only now that I’ve found a famous amnesty to help you get out of prison.”

"I understand." Luo Jinyu said, "I already have a lot of father-in-law."

"As long as you know."

Shen Wuji said uncomfortably, "Then you can rest here with peace of mind. After you recover, you can come and go as you please. As for your fame and your return to the imperial school, we will think about it. The new emperor can't just take care of yourself. Amnesty once..."

The new emperor is so easy to fool, so he will fool more.

Luo Jinyu smiled again: "Father-in-law thinks that the purpose of being in the residence of Eunuch Xiatou is to restore his status as an imperial student?"

Shen Wuji hurriedly said: "Our family didn't say such things, so don't talk nonsense."

"I have no other intentions, and my father-in-law don't get me wrong." Luo Jinyu said, "It's just that the imperial school hides filth and evil people, so I don't bother to go there anymore. With wolves and tigers around at court, I also don't bother to be with them. Now I'm gone I have no desire for fame and fame, but only want to repay my father-in-law's kindness, and then I will live in seclusion in the fields, and spend the rest of my life as a woodcutter and fisherman."

Shen Wuji frowned, stared at him for a long time, and said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Luo Jinyu looked at him in surprise: "I—"

"Let's say you were never depressed, but now you are depressed!" Shen Wuji became more and more angry, "It's just that you have been imprisoned for three years, not to mention that you are only nineteen, you are 29, 39, 49, so what? It’s enough to be locked up for three years, you’re still not satisfied, and you still want to pay for the next three years, 13 years, and 30 years?”

"Why did you say that, father-in-law?" Luo Jinyu asked puzzled.

"Why is our family? Our family is for you scholars who are more brittle than glazed tiles!" Shen Wuji said coldly, "The Taixue hides the filth, so you don't want to study, and if you are surrounded by wolves and tigers, you don't Go, if everyone in Qingliu like you is like this, then a hundred years later, what kind of excitement will be in the Imperial College, and there will be only so many people in the court! You are alone, who will come to help the world?"

Luo Jinyu was startled, as if seeing Shen Wuji for the first time.

"If our family is like yours, then our family should bite our tongues and commit suicide on the night of castration!" Shen Wuji continued to shout.

Luo Jinyu: "..."

After Shen Wuji finished speaking, he also realized that what he said was inappropriate, so he snorted and turned his head away.

The two were silent for a moment, Luo Jinyu said: "My father-in-law has a high opinion."

Shen Wuji didn't speak.

"My family was ruined and my mother died for me. The unfilial son never even saw her for the last time. He was really disheartened and only wanted to think about his life. If it weren't for his body, hair and skin, his mother would not dare to destroy himself. Unintentionally seeking to survive." Luo Jinyu said, "Elder-in-law is kind, I accept it with my heart, but my mind has already been made up."

Shen Wuji stared at him for a while, and finally flung his sleeves and left, cursing loudly outside the door: "Bookworm!"

Luo Jinyu looked down at her hands in the room, lost in thought for a long time.

His hands were as soft as a woman's, but it was not something to be proud of, but it was because his mother never let him do things when she was alive.It's fine if he is not allowed to help in the steamed stuffed bun shop. At home, he is not even allowed to wash the bowls and chopsticks, and he is not allowed to take the broom.

It is said that loving mothers often lose children, but mothers joke with others that there seems to be something wrong with this old saying.

But now it seems that there is nothing wrong.

His mother was so kind, she finally raised such a life-threatening ghost like him.

She had hoped that he would use these hands to write a beautiful essay and answer the top paper, but unexpectedly, he finally used these hands to write an essay scolding villains, sent himself to prison, and killed her.

Life in prison is hard, not to mention that Luo Jinyu offended the powerful and powerful to get in, even if Shen Wuji and Jun Ruoqing managed it secretly, they still couldn't protect him very well.

Luo Jinyu's hand has been tortured before, it's not a new thing, the shackle, the ten fingers are inserted into the torture device, and she pulls hard...

There are other subtle tricks.

In the end, it was difficult to hold the chopsticks and spoons firmly with these hands, let alone hold them.

At that time, it was also impulsive to mention the plaque in the mansion for Shen Wuji, but fortunately the other party didn't respond, otherwise Luo Jinyu didn't know how she would get away with it.

Luo Jinyu sat in the room for a long time, when suddenly he heard the door knock again.

He looked up, it was the clever little eunuch Xifeng.

Xifeng was young, with a pleasing and pretty appearance, and smiled at Luo Jinyu, bending his eyes: "Mr. Luo, have you finished the medicine?"

Luo Jinyu nodded.

"I'll ask someone to collect it." Xifeng called the girl to come in and collect the medicine bowl, then said to Luo Jinyu, "Mr. Luo, have you recovered in recent days?"

"It's much better, Mr. Xifeng is here." Luo Jinyu said.

"It's Xifeng's blessing to be able to serve Wenquxing." Xifeng said sweetly, and then said, "Actually, my godfather mentioned to me that Mr. Luo is filial, and I think he will go to pay homage to Mrs. Luo. It's just that it's cold, and Mr. Luo is here again." If you are sick, don't worry, wait for Tian'er to recover and your body to recover, Xifeng will accompany you."

In fact, the godfather did not take the initiative to mention this matter at all.

When Xifeng mentioned it to him, he still rolled his eyes at him, thinking that Xifeng was looking for trouble because he had nothing to do, and it was a bad luck for the New Year.

Xifeng felt that relying on his godfather, he would not have a godmother, so he had to rely on himself.

So he took the first step to block the godmother's side, lest the godmother should mention it to the godfather, but the godfather didn't know how to politely refuse.

Xifeng thought that Luo Jinyu, a well-known filial son, must be impressed by his godfather's thoughtfulness after hearing this, but unexpectedly, Luo Jinyu was silent for a while after hearing this, and said: "No need, thank you for your kindness, father-in-law."

Xifeng was startled: "Why?"

Luo Jinyu was silent for another while, when Xifeng thought he would not tell the reason, he finally spoke and said, "Face Jiaci with no face."

Xifeng sighed, showing pity.

Luo Jinyu curled up her fingers uncomfortably.He is not used to lying, a little guilty.

It wasn't all that, but there was another reason why he didn't want to go - he didn't want to see his mother's grave, if he saw it, even the last trace of self-deception would disappear.

He had to get one thing before he could go to his mother's grave.

The same thing that can attract souls, make bones grow muscles, and resurrect the dead.

This is a kind of magic, and also a kind of forbidden technique. It is said that it is hidden deep in the Fuyun Temple on Dangzi Mountain.

Floating clouds seem to be an ordinary Taoist temple, but in fact there is another mystery in the mountain gate, and there is a deep valley for cultivating immortals hidden.

It's just that the acceptance of disciples in Gu Nei is very strict, and the rules are weird. They don't look at qualifications, but only by chance.

The so-called chance depends on whether you can get the relics of those who have attained the Tao since ancient times.If you get it, it just shows that this person has a relationship with immortals and can get started.

Several years ago, Luo Jinyu read about this matter in ancient books, but didn't take it seriously at the time.He is a student of the imperial court, and according to Confucius' words, he doesn't believe in belief, let alone mysticism.

But Confucius could not bring his mother back to life, only Taoism could try.

Even if it's just for a try, he wants to try it.

And he came to Shen Wuji's mansion because he heard that Shen Wuji was favored by the late emperor and bestowed a treasure: Peng Zu's small seal.

According to legend, Peng Zu had a long life of more than [-] years, and his face was not old. It was because he had a glimpse of the secrets and secrets of the heavens that he had such good fortune. His belongings are all treasures that cultivators dream of.

Luo Jinyu wanted to get this thing, so she went to worship Floating Clouds to watch the deep valley, and waited for an opportunity to steal the forbidden technique and revive her mother.
