old grace

Erlang personally came to deliver the food and wine, interrupting the momentary tension in the house.

Xian Huayu didn't become angry after being robbed, she turned her attention to Erlang, changed her sitting position and put down her cigarette pouch, looking at the small jar of wine that Erlang personally brought.The 30-year-old wine has almost turned into an amber wine paste. With Erlang's background, he really has never enjoyed such a superb product, and he is not good at handling it if he is clumsy.

Fu Chuan had no choice but to step forward to help, and melted the wine ointment with the new brew. When the wine ointment collided, the aroma dissipated and became intoxicating.

"Where did this wine koji come from? It's so strange. Why does it still smell like gourd?" Xian Huayu closed her eyes and smelled it for a moment, then asked.

Fu Chuan served her wine obediently, and said: "I am not as old as this jar of wine. The wine was brewed by the old shopkeeper of the chariot and horse shop in the east of the city when he was young. A total of [-] altars have been brewed. It is a new wine and will be sold immediately. When the year was bad and there was a shortage of food everywhere, the imperial court issued a decree prohibiting brewing and selling, so they had to bury the three hundred altars of wine deep in the wine cellar. During the Yongchang Rebellion, the chariot and horse shop was closed, and even a cellar of wine was sold. Disk out..."

Xian Huayu heard the words and sighed: "This dynasty has been established for nearly a hundred years, according to the historical records, it should have a prosperous age."

The Hanjiang Sword Sect still hasn't emerged from the great shadow of hundreds of years ago.

The Zhibao Cave was burned, countless classics were lost, the disciples of the outer sect died, and countless inheritances were destroyed... These pains are temporary, although the losses caused are irreparable, but after ten, fifty, or 50 years, The pain inside the door will become a thing of the past and a legend.

Only after the collapse of the prosperous age, the land of the Central Plains, which lost its barriers and order, has been unable to restore its rule in the chaos of war.For hundreds of years, the descendants of the Hanjiang Sword Sect have silently witnessed the cruel price paid by the innocent people after that tragic victory.All the disciples of the Hanjiang Sword Sect will feel guilty after learning about the past hundreds of years ago.

After the Zhao Li Dynasty was unstable, countless aristocratic families lived in the place, and the border was full of powerful people. How could such an era usher in a "prosperous atmosphere"?

Fu Chuan comforted: "It's always getting better every year. A hundred years ago, there was a tragedy of cannibalism. The people from the east to the west drove the people to be 'vegetable people'. The Yi people even wrote a cookbook, saying that the northern land Hard but sour, southern meat is rotten and soft, and the head cavity is steamed with transparent soft juice, which is fat and tender, but it is not easy to obtain, you have to "cut the big bone at the back of the neck raw, and use a small silver dagger to eat it alive"..."

Xian Huayu was in a complicated mood by what he said, she pricked her mouth and took a sip of her wine, before saying after a long while, "Are you... holding grudges?"

Since the ancestor of Qiushuichang, all the disciples of the Hanjiang Sword Sect have repeatedly reflected on the catastrophe, and they all admit that the Hanjiang Sword Sect should be responsible for the hundreds of years of human catastrophe.It's just that the times have changed, and in the era of Xie Qinghe and Fu Chuan, that tragic experience has passed for too long, and there must be a slight difference in emotion.

Xian Huayu has seen all kinds of tragic truths in it, while Fu Chuan has only seen the records from the history books, and the two people feel completely different.

Fu Chuan was taken aback by the question: "I really think that today's world is much more peaceful than it was a hundred years ago. Senior brother once told me that the worst imperial court is better than the most orderly chaotic world. In the past, I half understood. Nian gradually understood."

As he spoke, he dragged a plate of sliced ​​sauced meat: "Eat vegetables, you eat vegetables."

Xian Huayu had no interest in meat, so she held the wine cup in one hand and asked: "It seems that you and I can reach a consensus on this point. The court cannot be chaotic, and the world cannot be chaotic." She raised the wine glass.

Fu Chuan had no intention of drinking at all, and was suddenly invited by her, so he had no choice but to get Xie Qinghe's wine glass.

It seemed natural that he and Xie Qinghe shared a wine cup, he held it easily, and Xie Qinghe made it easy.He lowered the cup and touched Xian Huayu's wine cup, Xie Qinghe was sitting beside him, gently stroking his back, looking at him tenderly.

"I have never thought of disturbing the world in these years, but the imperial court is governed, and I am not alone in the Zhao royal family." Fu said.

Xian Huayu was obviously not satisfied with this answer.

Xie Qinghe asked: "Your faction wants to appoint an emperor for the common people in the world?"

Xian Huayu's eyes became extremely terrifying in an instant, fixedly staring at Xie Qinghe.

A hundred years ago, in order to end the troubled times as soon as possible, the Hanjiang Sword Sect selected the late Zhao Taizu from among the local tyrants who competed in the world.The former headmaster of the Hanjiang Sword Sect, Yun Shanhai, disguised himself and went down the mountain in disguise, and assisted the later Zhao Taizu to win the country.

This matter violated the will of the Patriarch Qiushui. No one in the Hanjiang Sword Sect dared to speak out, and they still announced the closure of the mountain to the outside world, regardless of world affairs.

However, it cannot be said externally, but it is recorded internally.Xie Qinghe has been the head of the Hanjiang Sword Sect for decades, and has read this secret for a long time. After becoming the head, the secrets of the Hanjiang Sword Sect involving the ancestors of the past dynasties are even more unreasonable to him. It's a secret.

Both Fu Chuan and Xie Qinghe are head disciples, and their identities are not quite the same.Xie Qinghe has basically been the substantive head of the sect since he took over as the head of the sect. Everything he wants to see and know is unconditionally open to him.Fu Chuan kept his duty honestly and did not dare to overstep too much.

Therefore, Fu Chuan did not know what Xie Qinghe said at this moment.He pricked up his ears and looked at Xian Huayu's expression.

Oh yo yo, Patriarch Xian's expression is going to eat people, big brother is going to zoom in?

"Senior previously reprimanded my younger brother, blaming him for not breaking up with Han Lin because of the Yanhu stone incident. Zhao Taizu killed four thousand border residents in the Qingshibao pit, and Taizong forced conscripts to build Diling Canal to bury tens of thousands of young and strong. Thirty years ago, the imperial court They also forced thousands of mining craftsmen to Nanjun... Senior Yun Shanhai never broke with the Zhao royal family when he was alive, and after Senior Yun Shanhai ascended the truth, Senior Xian never "broke" with the Zhao royal family. Do you stop talking about legal justice?" Xie Qinghe asked rhetorically.

Fu Chuan's face hurts for Xian Huayu when he heard it.

However, this wave of Xian Huayu was sent by herself.Fu Chuan only knew that the Hanjiang Sword Sect was the young emperor's backer, and that the young emperor had a way to contact the Hanjiang Sword Sect, but he didn't know that Xian Huayu was squatting in the prison to serve as the young emperor's "nanny". If you don't figure it out, you won't know about it.

She said loudly that she was protecting the young emperor in the palace, and Xie Qinghe immediately slapped her back after contacting the cause and effect.

——Young Emperor is still young, and he hasn't been able to do bad things that will harm the country and the people.But his own father and his own grandfather are not easy-going lamps.

Xie Qinghe was not such a vengeful person in the first place, as long as he can achieve his goal when talking about things, there is no need to provoke people into a rage. If both parties quarrel with anger and just want to win, it is basically impossible to reach a compromise.

Just remembering that Xian Huayu's words made the little junior brother stand up in fright, bowed his head and lowered his hands and dared not say a word, Xie Qinghe was not very happy.

That Yanhu stone was excavated and transported by Fu Chuan, killing countless people, not to mention a few words of reprimand, it deserves a broken leg.What does that have to do with Fu Chuan?Instead of going to Han Lin to settle accounts, he ran Fu Chuan.However, Xian Huayu and her master Yun Shanhai's buttocks are also not clean. You can't even do it yourself. How can you treat yourself more leniently than others?

"I don't say that to blame the two seniors of the noble sect for setting foot in the world and meddling in secular power. It's just that the seniors and I are people of practice. When the heavens and the earth have their own way, the sun and the moon have their movements, senior Yun Shanhai assisted Zhao Taizu in establishing the country and governing it. The purpose is to unify the world and bring peace to the troubled times. But Yun Shanhai can’t guarantee that Zhao Taizu will only be a sage for the rest of his life. Afterwards, the Zhao royal family’s virtues will suffer and harm the world. Should it all be blamed on Senior Yun Shanhai?” Xie Qinghe asked road.

According to the tradition of the Hanjiang Sword Sect, since it was Yun Shanhai who helped establish Zhao Taizu and established the dynasty for three generations, of course the blessings and misfortunes are all on Yun Shanhai's head.

Xian Huayu looked at Xie Qinghe suspiciously: "You think it shouldn't be counted?"

Xie Qinghe couldn't help laughing: "Senior Xian thinks, can you afford it?"

This stopped Xian Huayu from asking, and Fu Chuan also fell into deep thought.

The head teacher of the Hanjiang Sword Sect, no matter how extraordinary his cultivation is, he is not an ancient god or saint after all, so how could he possibly be able to bear the misfortune of a dynasty?Theoretically, Yun Shanhai supported Zhao Taizu, so he should be "responsible" for the rule of the later Zhao royal family. On the practical level, how to be "responsible"?Will luck roll in?Will it be a misfortune to commit suicide?

If there is no response at all in practice, the theory is hypocritical.Practitioners seek the truth from the root, and if they cannot verify it, it is falsehood.

"My generation of monks gained the Tao from the heaven and the earth, and returned the Tao to the heaven and the earth. Zhao Taizu established the country in Dancheng. He was the favorite of Ziqi and the love of the heaven and the earth. How much relationship does it have with Senior Yun Shanhai?" Xie Qinghe will Fu Chuan picked out a strand of long hair that had been rubbed into the collar, and wrapped it around his neck thinly for him, "Not to mention that Han Lin doesn't have the appearance of Ziwei, even if he wins the country and becomes emperor, he has nothing to do with my junior brother." relation."

Fu Chuan thought, in order to find a place for me, the elder brother really speaks nonsense!Seeing Xian Huayu's thoughtful expression, Fu Chuan suddenly became uncertain again.Isn't the senior brother protecting his weaknesses?Is it really what the elder brother said?

Xian Huayu was silent for a long time.

Xie Qinghe didn't bother and urged her, he sat down with Fu Chuan, and the two ate some snacks.

Fu Chuan was quite full after eating at Han Lin's house, and now he was eating boiled peas. The boiled peas were dried in the sun, and they were very chewy when biting into his mouth. While biting, he suddenly heard Xian Huayu say: "You came to this world to secretly cultivate and understand the Dharma, right? You have all the three methods of refining alchemy, and the next step is to cultivate, you know?"

This is really powerful.It was so easy to see Xie Qinghe's purpose.Fu Chuan's chewing speed slowed down.

Xie Qinghe still had a boiled pea in his chopsticks, nodded and admitted: "Yes."

"I got your advice today, if I have some enlightenment. I want to go back to the mountain to retreat and practice. However, I can't let go of the current affairs. To tell you the truth, if only you, the little junior, are in charge of the current situation, I can't believe it. It's not his character." Misbehavior, lack of talent and morality, but experience is a bit weak, sentimental, and a bit less decisive. If you are willing to suspend your practice and take charge of the overall situation, I will return to Hanshan today and don't care about world affairs." Xian Huayu said.

These words stunned Fu Chuan.In name, the Hanjiang Sword Sect says that it is closed to the mountains, but it has never been absent in secret, and has been actively standing behind the Hou Zhao royal family.If Xian Huayu hadn't supported the young emperor, Fu Chuan and Han Lin might have parted ways a year earlier.

This morning, he had a fight on the street, and Fu Chuan was still worried that Xian Huayu would come to find a place.

Who would have thought that after a few words with Grand Master Xian Huayu, Eldest Senior Brother would directly tell this Grand Master back to the mountain?

Conditions are very low.

——As long as Xie Qinghe is in charge, she will go back to the mountain directly.

She didn't care what happened to the imperial court or the royal family, and let Xie Qinghe deal with it!

Fu Chuan didn't have much humiliation.There is a kind of tacit understanding between Xian Huayu and Xie Qinghe that he can't understand at the moment. This kind of tacit understanding makes Xian Huayu trust and respect Xie Qinghe, and it is not that Xian Huayu deliberately humiliated him.

However, Xie Qinghe made it very clear that the purpose of his obsession was to practice, and he didn't want to care about such trivial matters.

Fu Chuan didn't want his own selfishness to hinder the elder brother's cultivation, so he immediately objected: "Xian..."

Xie Qinghe held his hand and motioned him not to speak for now.

The two temporarily avoided Xian Huayu, stood aside and whispered.Xie Qinghe asked softly: "Can you give up the power to me?"

Fu Chuan immediately nodded, but hesitated a bit: "I should obey the senior brother's orders. But will it delay the senior senior brother's practice? This is my little selfishness, and it is also my practice, but in the end, the senior senior brother is required to finish it... ..."

"Qi Dao practice has already taken shape, and my business is not in the way. What matters is whether your thoughts are smooth? If you are not willing, I will follow you to plan slowly, from beginning to end, without seeking results." Xie Qinghe squeezed him The nape of his neck made him relax, "Actually, leaving this matter to me may not necessarily be the perfect ending you have in mind. The world is like water, and the tide changes."

"What's the difference between me and senior brother? I don't have any obsessions. Or should I agree to her?" Fu Chuan asked.

Xie Qinghe nodded.

After the two reached a consensus, they found that Xian Huayu was also looking at them with a smile, and said: "I thought you were the elder, and he was the humble one, and you can decide everything with one word. Now it seems that you know how to be humble and friendly." , All matters must be discussed with him before decisions can be made.”

Afraid that she would change her mind again, Fu Chuan quickly said, "I always listen to senior brother's orders, and when I don't talk back, I just make a decision with one word."

Xie Qinghe couldn't help laughing.

No matter how quiet the two of their discussions were, Xian Huayu who lived in the same room could hear them clearly.

A consensus had been reached on the matter, and Xian Huayu was very straightforward, unexpectedly did not mention any conditions, such as how to treat the young emperor and the royal family well, he did not mention a single word.She drank all the remaining wine in the wine cup, stood up with the pipe, and suddenly turned around: "You said that the old shopkeeper of the chariot and horse shop in the east of the city had stockpiled three hundred jars of wine, how many jars are there now?"

"There are more than 100 altars left in the humble house. I sent someone to send you to Hanshan?" Fu Chuan respectfully paid his respects.

Xian Huayu said with a smile: "No need, it's too much trouble for you. You get the wine jar ready, I will send someone to move it."

She actually walked back again, holding the remaining half jar of wine ointment in her arms, and waved to Xie Qinghe and Fu Chuan: "I'm leaving. That's right, you once said that Ye Zu would come to worship the mountain for Christmas, I'll give it to you." Get your room ready, don't forget to come and play."

Xian Huayu swaggered up to the eaves and disappeared without a trace.

Fu Chuan stood leaning against the door for a while, still a little unrealistically in a trance, couldn't help asking: "Brother, did she leave just like that?"

Xie Qinghe wanted to hug him very much when he was in the carriage, now Xian Huayu had also left, Mrs. Chen and Erlang were not there, only two guards were standing in the distance, he approached Fu Chuan and looked at him from behind. Holding the little junior brother into his arms, many feelings and heartaches slowly came out.

No matter how old Fu Chuan grows up, in his mind, he is always an ignorant child.

Fu Chuan will never give up pity for the hardships that Fu Chuan has gone through alone.Facing the heavy pressure of the Hanjiang Sword Sect, Han Lin's sudden changes after gaining power, and the moral dilemma that a born person must face after being forced into the world... Fu Chuan is always in a dilemma.Outsiders can blame Fu Chuan for everything, how could he be harsh on his own children?Just be more compassionate.

Xie Qinghe was full of pity, but Fu Chuan was still in disbelief: "How did she become so talkative?"

Xie Qinghe, who was full of tenderness, couldn't help laughing, picked him up, and walked into the room: "Guess?"

"I think it was Eldest Brother's profound Taoism that convinced her. She said that she would go back to the mountain for retreat soon. Was she awakened by the theory of burdens that Eldest Brother said? She had never met Elder Brother In front of you, you suddenly trusted senior brother so much, I guess it must be the unique tacit understanding that only the head teacher has, senior senior brother, do you have a unique way of communicating with her..." Fu Chuan put his arms around Xie Qinghe's neck and asked .

"It can be regarded as a unique way of communication." Xie Qinghe put Fu Chuan on the couch, gently holding his waist, "She can see that your soul is a man, and naturally she can also see the appearance of my soul." A smart person like her, does she want to fight with me?"

Fu Chuan listened carefully, but the answer made him dumbfounded.

Xie Qinghe has practiced in the enchanted world for tens of thousands of years. If it is said that his spirit is thick, no one in the world can match it.

Xian Huayu sees Fu Chuan as a young man in his 20s, and sees Xie Qinghe as a towering behemoth, an old god who has lived for tens of thousands of years. With such a hard idea in front of him, as long as Xian Huayu has no problem with his brain, he will be fine. Will want to head to head with Xie Qinghe.

Now that Xie Qinghe was confirmed to be a pure and peaceful mind and a truly moral practitioner, Xian Huayu resolutely withdrew and went back to the mountain, ignoring worldly affairs.

——The main thing is to avoid fighting with Xie Qinghe.

Xie Qinghe squeezed Fu Chuan's face, and said with a smile: "So, you don't have to listen to her reasons. Why are you sentimental and sensitive, and you can't make a decision? It's just that you are a soft persimmon, and she doesn't have to hold it hard. When you meet me This iron can no longer be pinched, so we negotiate a peace and flee the mountain."

He said very seriously: "You have done well enough within your own ability. Don't listen to someone's words, feel that you are wrong here, or not doing well there, and wait for reprimand with trepidation. I knew about Shi's matter at Han Lin's house, if I think you did something wrong, I will tell you, since I didn't mention it to you, it's not your fault."

"You have to think about it yourself. Sometimes, senior brother may not always be right." Seeing Fu Chuan's serious expression, Xie Qinghe pinched his hair and scratched his face. Fu Chuan was itchy and couldn't help it Touching his face, he grabbed Xie Qinghe's hand.

"If you think senior brother is wrong, why can't you talk back?" Xie Qinghe was very dissatisfied with Fu Chuan's promise to Xian Huayu.

Fu Chuan touched Xie Qinghe with the end of his hair.

Xie Qinghe gently hugged his back, thought for a while, and added: "If you are in front of the disciples, when I am the head, don't talk back. Tell me when you get home. Do you understand?"

Fu Chuan put his arms around his neck, and finally burst out a smile that he had held back for a long time: "But I won't talk back to senior brother! Hahaha, senior brother, do you seriously think when will I be able to talk back?" laugh..."

Halfway through the smile, he was afraid that Xie Qinghe's face wouldn't hold up, so Fu Chuan quickly raised his head to cover Xie Qinghe's mouth, and kissed him deeply.

After the deep kiss, the cheeks of both of them were flushed, and their hearts were ups and downs.

Fu Chuan turned over and rode on Xie Qinghe's body, looked at his burning eyes full of longing for youth, untied his belt with one hand, leaned on his shoulder, and whispered in his ear: "Eldest brother, I will always be your junior brother!" , for the rest of my life, I will respect you, obey you, and never contradict you...you just...don't always say 'this is inconvenient', but also give me some sweets... okay?"

Xie Qinghe was so hot that his ears turned red when he whispered two words, he pressed Fu Chuan on the couch with his backhand, and tore open his clothes.

……

Ok.

this……

What are you going to do with a woman...?

Xie Qinghe had to slow down his movements, maintain a calm and serious expression, and make sure he looked confident.

In order to maintain the image of himself being omnipotent and omniscient in the mind of his younger brother, Xie Qinghe decided to do the same as last time, learn by doing and practice, and he should not leak any lies that he has never tried.

... I haven't done it, didn't my junior brother also do it?They are all beginners, easy to deceive.
