The Way of the National Teacher

At the end of the year, Prince Tuobahuang finally made a triumphant return.Emperor Wei was overjoyed and felt that his son was really proud.So he ordered Shi Minzhan to record in detail Prince Tuobahuang's daily life and battlefield strategies in writing, for the world to admire.

As soon as he received the imperial decree, Shi Minzhan went to the National Teacher's Mansion to ask about good and bad luck.The national teacher didn't speak, but Shi Minzhan understood - avoid answering, this is an avoid word.So not long after Shi Minzhan returned home, there was a letter next to his pillow, with only two words on it, jade and knife.

Shi Minzhan thought about it, and the next day when Emperor Wei asked him who he needed, Shi Minzhan said, "Master Cui is knowledgeable and talented, and he is also a veteran of the three dynasties. I hope that Master Cui can teach him."

"Will Cui Hao be used to write this?" Emperor Wei thought for a while, "If that's the case, then it's better for Aiqing and Cui Aiqing to compile the history of the country together."

When Chu Li heard the news from his servants, he was still on the bed with Shi Yan and did not get up.

"The last step." She said softly.

Shi Yan hugged her into his arms, "Don't think about it, you are in good spirits, you don't look tired yet."

After more than ten days, Chu Li asked Emperor Wei for leave, saying that he found a famous doctor in Shangluo County to heal his eyes.

Emperor Wei said, "It's better to invite the genius doctor, so that the Queen's illness can be cured as well."

"Going back to the emperor, it's hard to find the miraculous doctor. If I can find him, please come back to treat the empress."

Emperor Wei had no reason to refuse, so he had to let her go.But because he was worried, he specially asked someone to accompany him.It happened that King Le'an was in Beijing, so Emperor Wei handed the two of them over to King Le'an and escorted them all the way to Shangluo County in Jingzhou. In fact, they were watching them not to run away.

But it happened to be handed over to King Le'an.

King Le'an looked eager when he saw Shi Yan. Thanks to Chu Li, he couldn't see him, otherwise he would not be able to bear it.Shi Kui was also deeply surprised, and felt that King Le'an's "surveillance" was so blatant, it was too much.However, there is nothing you can do about it, after all, man is a knife and I am a fish.

Sitting in the carriage with Chu Li, she murmured, "It's time to start a war."

"It should be soon, I wonder if we can wait for us to reach the boundary of Jingzhou."

They were not in a hurry, and they walked for about three months. They had just arrived in Jingzhou, and the station hurriedly sent an order from Emperor Wei, "King Le'an quickly bring the national teacher back to Pingcheng!"

It turned out that Liu Song took the initiative to attack the sliding platform, but Prince Tuobahuang was guarding Monan to guard against Rouran.The important place in Gyeonggi naturally wanted to prevent the instability of the people, so he urgently called King Le'an back to Chang'an.

King Le'an had no choice but to follow orders.But Chu Li said, "My lord, we have just arrived at the door of our house. Are we not even allowed to enter the house? No matter how urgent you are, don't be in a hurry?"

King Le'an looked at Shi Yan, gritted his teeth, and said, "Okay, I'll take you home now." He took a deep look at Shi Yan, left a few attendants to guard Chu Li and Shi Yan, and rushed back overnight by himself.

Chu Li breathed a sigh of relief, "Without King Le'an, things will be much easier."

But Shi Yan was very suspicious of his eyes, "Why do I feel that King Le'an seems to know what we are going to do."

"If you know, can you let us go back?" Chu Li was surprised, "Senior Sister, don't think too much."

When I rushed back to Shangluo County, where they lived, this was their territory, so what's the use of those servants!

Shi Kui squeezed Chu Li's fingers, Chu Li understood, Shi Kui led them into his room, and let them stay here.She stood quietly by the side, "I'll trouble you to stay here for the whole night, and there is only one room with a bed."

There was nothing the attendant could do, he looked at me from left to right and I looked at you, cupping his fists to express his gratitude.

Chu Li carefully discerned the sound of their footsteps, and when Shi Yan jumped back lightly, Chu Li found the mechanism and pressed it hard with his hand, several attendants cried out in surprise and fell into the hole in front of the bed.

Hearing those people yelling in the burrow, Chu Li sprinkled some drug, then clapped his hands and said, "It's a pity, I've slept before."

Shi Yan scolded her, "If you like it, I'll get you another one after a while."

"Pfft—" Chu Li couldn't laugh or cry, "I don't want it!"

There are no miscellaneous people and chores, this long-lost hometown is bright and moonlit, quiet and serene.Shi Yan hugged her, "We are finally home."

"That's right," Chu Li rubbed Shi Yan's neck affectionately, "I guess the sky has turned upside down by now."

"Those have nothing to do with us." After finishing speaking, Shi Yan kissed her eyes with some sobs, "It's a pity that my Li'er didn't come back properly."

"Li'er didn't come back, but your wife is back." Chu Li kissed her lips, "My wife is back too.

Shi Yan smiled through his tears, and took Chu Li's hand, "Let's go, Sui Sui has come to pick us up."

Was it not Sui Sui who was bouncing over outside the door?

The little girl made a fuss when she saw Chu Li, "Oh, Chu Li, you are blind!"

"..." How could Chu Li hear the taste of gloating.

Shi Qi is also a black thread.

"But it doesn't matter," Sui Sui said happily, "Let me tell you, I have figured out the usefulness of the Wuming Fan now, and you know it can cure all diseases! It's just that my cultivation is not enough and I can't use it well. If Chu Li you Use it, maybe it can cure your eyes." He added, "Maybe it can also cure sister Shi's stubborn illness!"

Chu Li was overjoyed, "Really?"

"If you don't believe me, try it!" Sui Sui handed her the Wuming Fan, "Unfortunately, Princess Shanggu is no longer here."

Chu Li and Shi Qi fell silent at the same time.

Sui Sui blinked and urged them, "Hurry up, hurry up! It's getting so dark, hey, you must go at night, like thieves."

Isn't that just being a thief!

Shi Kui looked at Sui Sui's expression, "Sui Sui, do you have something to hide from us? Why are you so excited?"

"Excited? Do I have it?" Sui Sui hurriedly covered her face, "Oh, you'll know when you get there!"

After turning around several mountains and winding into Mo Zhuang, Shi Kui was stunned when he saw the people who came to meet them.

Chu Li sensed something was wrong with her, "What's wrong?"

Shi Yan held her hand tightly, and said in a hoarse voice, "Qu Di..."

Who is the girl in the wheelchair, not Qudi?

Although Chu Li couldn't see it, he was shocked when he heard what Shi Kui said.

"She is Qudi, but she can't remember the past. And she hurt her lower limbs, but it's okay, there is a wheelchair." Sui Sui laughed triumphantly, "There is nothing that can hinder our Mo Pai!" He poked Chu Li's arm, "Unexpected! This is all due to me!"

"you?"

"That's right!" Sui Sui said proudly, "I went to look for you to send Wuming fans, but I got lost as soon as I entered the Daze Grassland. I went around and didn't know where I went. Seeing her hanging on a tree branch, her lower abdomen was pierced by stones. What a tragedy! I was frightened to death. When I rescued her, she was barely able to breathe. Thanks to the Wuming fan, she was brought back to life to save her life The effect of Gu Yuan. She was still alive, so I used her to practice, who knew that I was saved! Although there is still a small problem...but at least she is alive!"

Chu Li frowned, "What small problem?"

"Hmm..." Sui Sui stammered, "I just hurt my head, and my vitality was seriously injured. I'm afraid I will be weak and sick in the future." After a pause, he forcibly added, "But at least she is alive! Although she can't go anymore, but You can have prosthetics, it's no big deal!"

Before Chu Li could speak again, he heard Qu Di's familiar voice, "Sui Sui, you're back."

"Yes, yes," Sui Sui walked over and pushed her, "Come on, let me introduce you, this is Qu Di, this is Chu Li and Shi Yan."

Shi Kui knelt down, looked at Qu Di, and smiled at her with wet eyes, "Qu Di, my name is Shi Kui."

Chu Li also became hoarse, and fumbled to hold Qu Di's hand, "Qu Di, I'm Chu Li."

Qu Di looked at them for a while, feeling a little embarrassed, "Hello, my name is Qu Di." She looked back and said, "Do they know me?"

Sui Sui blinked, "No, you don't know that Chu Li is like this when he sees a beauty!"

Chu Li: ...

Qu Di asked, "Really?" She stretched out her hand and shook it in front of Chu Li, "But she can't see it."

"Uh..." Sui Sui thought for a while, "But Sister Shi can see!" She pushed Qu Di and walked nonsense, "You don't know, they are actually freaks, one is born blind, and the other The eyes are used by two people. So when Sister Shi sees you, Chu Li also sees you."

From a distance, Chu Li and Shi Yan heard Qu Di ask, "But they don't look the same size."

"Oh, that's because Chu Li didn't grow up. In fact, Chu Li is very old."

"So..." Qu Di whispered, "Is that sister Shi also like that when she sees a beauty?"

Sui Sui was stunned for a moment, laughed loudly, nodded repeatedly, fearing that Chu Li would come after him, so he quickly pushed Qu Di and ran away.

Only Shi Kui and Chu Li were left dumbfounded.The two looked at each other, without words.They held each other's hands tightly, feeling a sense of peace in their hearts.

This year was the end of AD [-].

Later, Baili Yanrong brought some folk rumors one after another, saying that Situ Cui Hao deceived the emperor's heart, urged Wei Emperor to destroy Buddha, deceived the people with evil words, and deceived teachers and ancestors.

Therefore, in order to avenge the "Heavenly Buddha", the prince Tuobahuang set off the prison of national history, accusing Cui Hao of "telling the state affairs without preparation", and Cui Hao died this year because of this, and was punished by the nine clans.

In the following year, the prince was framed by Zhongchang Shizong'ai, Emperor Wei beheaded his henchmen, and Tuobahuang died of worry.However, there are also unofficial legends that Empress Helian blew the wind in her ears to encourage Emperor Wei, so Emperor Wei later regretted it and left Empress Helian in the cold.Empress Helian died of depression and died suddenly.

In the third year, Zongai launched a coup d'etat in March to kill Emperor Wei, and made Tuobayu, king of Nan'an, emperor.In October, Zong Ai killed Tuoba Yu again, and Shangshu Lu Li and others supported Tuoba Jun, the grandson of the former emperor, as Emperor Wencheng, and killed Zong Ai after he ascended the throne.

Immediately after the little emperor ascended the throne, he announced the lifting of the abolition of Buddhism and the restoration of Buddhism.

Also in this year, because of witchcraft, Liu Yilong wanted to abolish the prince Liu Shao. After Liu Shao found out, he broke into the palace and killed his father, proclaimed himself emperor, and changed the Yuan to "Taichu".However, this move caused him to betray his relatives, and within three months of his reign, he was defeated by Liu Jun, who led an army to rebel, and was executed after being captured.

The two dynasties each established a new king, and they still stand side by side, with constant battles.

It's just that what does the disturbance from the outside have to do with these self-reliant people who live in seclusion in deep mountains and old forests?Zhuangzi said, isn't the fight against barbarians ridiculous?In the land of snails, life is like a dust, and the hearts of the people are not enough to kill each other, which is really sad and deplorable.Not all people are greedy enough, and those who are willing to fight go to fight, and those who are willing to practice go to practice. During the Spring and Autumn Unrighteous War, there was already fighting and hiding, and the way of the world has never been one.

The green hills are still there, and the success or failure of right and wrong is turned around.It's better to have a pot of dirty wine, and let the autumn moon and spring breeze, the past and the present, be laughed at.

☆, extra

The days of seclusion are leisurely and leisurely, and I don't know the years.Chu Li's cultivation level is not shallow, and he can use the Wuming Fan with ease. Not only has his own eyes been cured, but also Shi Qi's strange disease has been cured. Even the sword spirit in her body has been tamed a lot.The two lived in seclusion, and before they knew it, it was Shi Qi's 38th birthday.

Early in the morning, Chu Li got up to make longevity noodles for her, saying that he would let her eat longevity noodles for a day, so that she could live a long and long life.

Shi Yan was lying on the bed, watching her cheerfully say silly things, he couldn't help laughing.Chu Li kissed her on the cheek, "Ma'am, I'll let you have a taste of being a husband!"

"You!" Shi Yan rubbed her cheeks, and smiled meaningfully, "I wonder if Madam slept well last night?"

Chu Li's face turned red, and he coughed softly, "It's probably better than someone, I seem to be crying."

This made Shi Yan annoyed and ashamed, "Chu Li!"

"Haha! Ma'am, don't be ashamed, that appearance last night is really pitiful!" Chu Li smirked, turned around and ran out, leaving Shi Yan blushing, embarrassed and helpless.

"Ah!" However, just as Chu Li left the room, Shi Qi suddenly felt a headache, and with a muffled groan, his world suddenly spun, and there seemed to be lightning and thunder in his ears.

She didn't even have the strength to stand up again.

Shi Kui was startled, his mind was particularly clear at this moment, and he spit out two words in disbelief, "God's punishment?!" It's a child's play to change one's life against the sky and be punished by the sky.

She was not allowed to say another word, and before she even had time to call Chu Li's name, she fell on the bed and never woke up again.

After Chu Li happily washed up, he was about to ask Shi Yan what kind of longevity noodles he wanted to eat, but as soon as he entered the door...

-

Without that person, even thousands of years would be nothing but suffering.

Chu Li lay on the bed without saying a word or moving, holding Shi Yan in his arms.Until Cheng Gongxing let out a long sigh, "Idiot!"

"Master!" Chu Li came back to his senses, grabbed Cheng Gongxing's cuff tightly, and could hardly make a sound, "Master! Save her!"

Cheng Gongxing stroked Chu Li's forehead with his palm, "Are you willing to practice?"

"Can practice save her?"

Cheng Gongxing looked pitiful but did not answer, Chu Li tightly grabbed his sleeve, "As long as I can save Senior Sister, I am willing to do anything!"

Cheng Gongxing just shook his head, "It may not be impossible to save her, but you need to submerge yourself to protect her soul."

Only then did Chu Li's dry eyes move, and Cheng Gongxing continued, "It's just that it's hard for you to have this level of cultivation. Before you came out of the mountain, your mind was like a white paper, naturally clear, and it was the best period for cultivation. But you I have always hated alchemy and meditation. Now that you have burdened your life, you have already had an obsession in your heart, how can you forget it?"

Chu Li was at a loss, "Why sit and forget?"

"Forget all the world, settle your mind, there is no self, no heaven and earth, just like chaos."

"Of course I can't forget her, and I won't forget her until I die."

Cheng Gongxing shook his head, "Forgetting one thing is not forgetting the other, but it is pleasant and unspeakable." Cheng Gongxing sighed, "Fool, I see that you are quite talented, and I have kept you by my side for 22 years. Enlightenment." He said again, "Since you and I have some predestined relationship as master and apprentice, now let me help you idiot."

After finishing speaking, he gave Chu Li a bead and left in a hurry.

Chu Li didn't know what the bead was for, but Wu Xi knew that the Mo family knew about ghosts.

"This is the spirit-gathering pearl." Wu Xi sighed with pity, "There are ghosts in the world, but it doesn't mean that a person can become a ghost after death."

Ghosts are actually a more advanced form.Human death is only the spirit, and the soul is separated.Only by gathering the soul and absorbing the aura of the weather can one become a ghost.

It is nothing more than Qi that fills the world.The qi mentioned here is not simply air.When a person is alive, he always has his own qi and quality, and all things in the world also have their own qi and quality. It is often said that the five internal organs are the qi in the viscera, so that people can be energetic.

Spirit is this kind of breath.When a person dies, the spirit does not disperse.But because the spirit loses the barrier of the body, it will be impacted and invaded by the energy of the world and everything.The longer the dead time, the weaker the spirit, that is, the weaker the qi.Ordinary people die for seven days, and the aura is washed away by the qi between the heavens and the earth and all things, and returns to all things.

It is not easy to become a ghost. First of all, the person must have a very strong mental power. The stronger the mental power, the less likely the soul will be washed away.But even so, it may not be possible to become a ghost, because the mental power will gradually weaken under the attack.Secondly, under the premise of having a strong spiritual power, one way to become a ghost is through the admiration of people.In fact, the main source of the powerful impact on spiritual power is the aura and temperament of living people. People themselves cannot detect it, but the aura and qi in the body are in harmony or conflict. In fact, there is no need to enshrine. It is not possible to attack this soul power, and it is even possible to infiltrate it.In this way, people with strong spiritual power can let their spirits be infiltrated by all things, and gradually gather their souls to become ghosts.

Another way is to go to places that are sparsely populated, preferably uninhabited, which is why practitioners always seek out wild mountains and wild mountains.What they have cultivated is powerful spiritual power, which fills the open-minded state of mind between heaven and earth. This kind of spiritual power is extremely difficult to achieve.In this way, their souls will not disperse in the end, and the impact they receive is minimal. They also know how to use the aura of all things to cultivate themselves, so they are easy to become ghosts.

In addition, there is another tricky way, relying on the blessing of spiritual things.All things are born in the world, and all things have their own spirits. If a person can hold spiritual objects, then his soul will have an extra layer of protection, and the possibility of becoming a ghost is greater.It's just that this kind of spiritual thing is extremely rare, and even if it exists, it is not easy to get.

The spirit-gathering beads contain the spiritual power of all things and can protect the spirit body.Also known as soul-inducing bead, if a person's soul is still alive, then holding this bead can attract soul back, so as to condense the soul.

It's a pity that it's been seven days since Shi Yan's soul left the body, I don't know what kind of attack the soul has received, and how much is left now.But even if they can gather their souls and become ghosts in the end, it is still a different way for humans and ghosts.

If he wanted to see her again, unless Chu Li could cultivate the spirit body and make his spiritual sense strong enough to recognize the spirit body.Moreover, I don't know the strength of Shi Qi's mental power, it is very likely that it has dissipated, so even the Ju Lingzhu can't do anything.But now that the Ju Lingzhu was used on Shi Qi on the seventh day, it may have protected her incomplete soul to some extent.

In fact, there is no such thing as reincarnation.The aura of man is scattered between the heaven and the earth, and it also comes from the heaven and the earth.During pregnancy, a woman can feel and absorb the aura of all things the most.This aura also conflicts and merges, and finally the aura gathers together to become a new spirit.These auras have returned to heaven and earth, no different from vegetation, trees, mountains and rocks.

But soul will not be absorbed, soul nourishes all things.That is to say, the soul of Shi Qi, which has been scattered in the world, may be reunited into the human body.This is what people usually call reincarnation.But in fact, these souls are not necessarily or even impossible to be Shi Yan's own aura.The spiritual energy dispersed in the world and then reunited, and those who matched were reunited, which meant that even if the person who had reunited the spiritual energy was found in the end, it would not be the original Shi Qi.This is what is meant by the saying that a dead person cannot be resurrected.Because the spirit is dispersed and gathered with its qi to form a new temperament.In this case, people's natural disposition will change.You can say that she has changed, or it can be understood that she still has her spirit.

Unless the souls are gathered together, this person can recover the original.

To put it simply, there is little hope of "saving" Shi Qi back.Probably not even a line.Because the process of reunion of this kind of spiritual power depends on chance, it may be possible to reunite after seven days, but it may also be scattered in the world and cannot be reunited for thousands of years.It is possible for Chu Li to wait, but not necessarily.After all, human life is limited.In other words, if Chu Li wanted to wait, he had to practice by himself and become a powerful spirit.And even then it may not be possible to wait.

But there is one thing, part of Shi Yu's soul is hidden in the Ju Lingzhu, which can be nourished densely. If Chu Li can find Shi Yu and give her the Ju Ling Orb, he will finally be able to gather Qi Shi Yu's soul in this life and help her become a psychic. ghost.It's just that, Chu Li can't use the power of gathering spirit beads to practice.But this will greatly increase the difficulty of Chu Li's practice.Moreover, Chu Lili has some obsessions, and obsessions are inner demons, so it may be even more difficult to reach the realm of chaos between heaven and earth.In fact, those sages in history who were able to communicate with the spirit of heaven and earth alone were all those who could break through life and death without any worries.

This creates a paradox, if Chu Li cannot let go of the obsession in his heart, it may be difficult to achieve great success in cultivation, and naturally he will not be able to save Shi Qi.But if he lets go of his attachments, then Shi Yan's life and death are not so important.

Wu Xi said, "That's all I know. It was passed down from generation to generation by the Mohist sages with powerful spiritual powers. But the world is so big and the mysteries are endless, so I don't know what kind of mysteries there will be."

Chu Li lowered his eyes and hugged Shi Yan's body tightly, "Wait for me."

A day in the mountains is a hundred years in the world.

One day, Chu Li was suddenly disturbed and extremely disturbed.

Shi Yan's frowns and smiles are all in front of her eyes, she feels something in her heart, and she senses that Shi Yan's spirit has been reunited, a joy and a sorrow, all kinds of clues make her mind confused, disturbed by her heart demon, lost her mind and passed out. past.

When he woke up, his face was not old but his hair was gray, and his mind was hurt. He didn't know his name, his age, where he was, and what he was doing. He only vaguely remembered that he was looking for someone.

When she left the top of the mountain, she felt guilty when she met a monk on the way, so she gave in deeply.When it was almost down the mountain, I asked a young monk for directions.

The monk asked her, "What is the name of the benefactor?"

She didn't care about her first and last name, but she wanted to do as the Romans did.I also heard the monks say that this mountain is Qiyun Mountain, so they called themselves surnamed Qi; seeing the Taiji diagram naturally formed under Qiyun Mountain, my heart was moved, and I felt like a wandering cloud without knowing where to go, but I was so vast and open-minded, taking the heaven and the earth as my home, Just like the Xun hexagram in the gossip, it belongs to the wind, and it comes and goes without a place to return. When it travels between heaven and earth, it is called Xun, which is Qi Xun.

The monk clasped his hands together and said, "The poor monk argues."

The author has something to say: Well, the first volume is over.Welcome everyone to press the next volume
