Jiayou fun things

Chapter 21 The Three Thin Skin Coffins
Little snow, little wind, cold whizzing.

Lu Lu and Lao He changed into their casual clothes and walked slowly along Youkuangzi Street.

The Jiangtanzi Street next door is still full of people, restaurants, brothels and casinos, all kinds of pastimes, it is a lively time.

There are many workshops and residents on Youkuzi Street, some workshops also run shops, and there are still some customers coming to the door at this moment.

Some other special workshops are already half-closed, and through the open door panels, you can see that the juniors are propping up tables and chairs in the storefront, and they are having a lively dinner.

A team of street patrol Wuhou walked across the street with two fierce dogs, the pace rumbled, and the sound of weapons and armor rubbing was clearly audible.

Old He looked at the team of Marquis, smiled, and suddenly asked: "Xiao Lu, why do you want to join the palace guard? To be honest, we guard the palace guard, and we have a bad reputation. You are so young, why?"

Lu Yu put on an ordinary light blue long silk shirt, covered with a big red fox fur jacket that Old He didn't know where he got it, with his hands in his sleeves, he was looking at the street scene of Youkuangzi Street.

Listening to Lao He's question, Lu Ru couldn't help but laugh.

"Old He, do you want to listen to the truth or lie?"

Old He blinked and asked him curiously, "How do you say lies?"

Lu Hao narrowed his eyes and walked unhurriedly: "It's a lie, it's about being loyal to the emperor and serving the country, and the Shougongjian is the emperor's close minister. If you join the Shougongjian, you can better throw your head and blood for the emperor."

Lao He spat on the ground.

'Loyalty to serve the country'?
Nonsence.

Just look at the three three-tailed black scorpion brothers, they know how to be loyal to the king and serve the country.

In the palace guards, except for the little eunuchs who were brought into the palace to raise them since childhood, [-]% of the guards were desperate desperados, a group of scum and rogues who killed thousands of knives.

Count on them 'loyalty to serve the country'?
"Then, what's the truth?" Lao He asked Lu Ni with a smile, he patted his chest, and said with a low laugh: "To tell the truth, Xiao Lu, I, Lao He, also committed a crime back then and slaughtered all my enemies." He was wanted by Si Koutai to arrest documents all over the world, and he was forced to join the palace guard."

Old He heaved a sigh of relief: "When you enter the palace guard, you sign the documents of prostitution. In this life, you won't want to get out."

Lu Yan glanced at Lao He in surprise: "I can't see it, Lao He, with such thick eyebrows and big eyes, you can actually kill people? However, what happened in the past is over."

"You have to listen to the truth. The truth is that guarding the palace is the shortcut to Zhongnan!"

"You don't understand what 'Zhongnan Shortcut' means? Well, it's a good way to get promoted, get rich, and go straight to the sky."

Lu Ruan said softly, "As for me, I have no ambitions. In this life, I just want to live a better life and be better for myself."

"Man, if you want to live a better life, it's nothing more than these points."

"One, don't be bullied, you have to have some fists and some power."

"Second, to live well, you need some gold and some money."

"Three, to live long, long enough, such as a thousand years old?"

Lao He laughed 'hehehe' and shook his head constantly.

For Lu Yan's first two points, Lao He agrees that with power and money, a man can live well.

But a thousand years old?

Legend has it that when the Wu Dynasty of Dayin was founded, the ancestors of the Wuxun family could still live more than [-] years.

That's only six hundred.

Up to now, the cultivation of martial arts is not as good as that of the previous generation. The life expectancy of Peiyuan is 150, and the life span of Tuomai is [-]. After opening the scriptures and adding half a Jiazi Yangshou, that is the limit life span of [-] years.

In today's Dayin, Peiyuanjing is the backbone, Tuomaijing is a master, and Kaijingjing is the trump card for every household to support the facade.

Above the level of opening the scriptures, it is said that the old eunuch Yu Changle, who guarded the palace prison, used the sorcery of 'mining-yin-buying-yang' to bring 'eating people's hearts', which may have reached the realm above the level of opening the scriptures.

This is the legend.

Lu Yan looked at Lao He very seriously, and said solemnly, "As for me, my origin is not difficult to inquire about. My surname is Lu, but I came from an unimportant collateral line. The position left by my grandfather was held by relatives. Once you get your position, you won’t be able to get it back into your own hands in your lifetime.”

"If you want to talk about the shortcuts to becoming an official such as judging filial piety, judging Xiucai, and judging Bocai, how many young sons of the main and direct line are waiting, and there are only a few 'recommended' places in the country every year? Obviously, this is It doesn't fall on my head."

"When it comes to the imperial examinations, whether it is an examination for a scholar or an examination for a doctorate, unless you are from a cultural and educational background and have a great teacher as a teacher, otherwise, you should never dream of being able to take the exam on your own. Especially, my surname is Lu, an examiner in the cultural and educational field. Unless their brains are broken, they won't let a surnamed Lu, even a collateral clan, be admitted to fame."

"Other good ways to go are nothing more than these."

"I entered the palace after self-purification, I am afraid of pain."

"As a street patrol Marquis, you will be a street patrol Marquis all your life, and you will never be able to get ahead."

"Joining Sikoutai, let's not mention those who are sleeping in the wind. Sikoutai has long been the territory of the Tou family. Unless you are from their direct line, you will not be able to make a scene in Sikoutai."

"Only the palace guard."

Lu Yan said with emotion: "Old He, only guarding the palace, and leaving us a way of promotion. No matter your background, no matter your past, even if you don't know a word, even if you are a bastard in your bones, If you do meritorious deeds, you will be promoted!"

"In case one day, you get into the emperor's side, get the emperor's appreciation, tsk tsk, the emperor's golden mouth, give you a title, isn't this glory, wealth and wealth directly on the head?"

Lao He blinked his eyes desperately, he stared blankly at Lu Yan, and muttered: "It's really the truth, tsk, but, in the past, including the captains and generals above, they haven't explained it to us so clearly. "

"Little Lu, I can't see it. Your knowledge is incredible. Your surname is Lu, are you Jingyang Lu?"

Lu Yan smiled and didn't answer Lao He's question. He continued to say to himself: "Being promoted and making a fortune while guarding the palace is easier than other yamen, and there is still a way to get through."

"But guarding the palace is not just about promotion and making a fortune."

Old He widened his eyes and looked at Lu Rui in confusion.

Lu Lu didn't explain much. He looked up at the sky and murmured, "Originally, I planned to join the palace guard in another two years when I had more ability to save my life."

"However, the situation is pressing, forcing me, no, I came in two years earlier."

"Old He, I'm only 16 years old. At 16 years old, I followed you all over the street looking for those vicious murderers. Do you think this is a crime or not?"

Lao He laughed dryly, and he hurriedly said: "You talk first, talk first, what's the benefit of guarding the palace?"

Lu Ruan pondered for a moment and lowered his voice.

"The guardian of the palace has direct access to the imperial city. The benefits of this will be inexhaustible for a while."

"Tsk, let's just say one thing, the palace guard can constrain the 'Sibao prison'. In the Sibao prison, there are countless rare and precious treasures that the princes from all over the world have paid tribute to, and there are some 'extraordinary medicines' in it."

Lu Yan's voice became very subtle, he smiled and looked at Lao He, and said softly: "Maybe there are one or two such plants in it, which can increase the longevity after taking it, scare, the third point I said, come here if you don't. Is it? Live longer."

Lao He was stunned, and then laughed 'kakaka' in a low voice.

He pointed at Lu Yan and said with a smile: "Xiao Lu, Xiao Lu, you are really, really interesting... If there is such a rare treasure in Sibao prison, how many nobles are in the palace, where can we get it? You, you , but, maybe it's really possible. Hey, hey."

Lao He blinked his eyes and murmured: "Perhaps, it's really possible. If enough credit is made, and no one has discovered its magical effect on Qizhen... Picking up the leak, yes, yes, picking up the leak. This thing is not No!"

"It is said that 30 years ago, our current nine-star general, for his great achievements, was rewarded with a 'white jade ink pattern ginseng'. It turned out that he was seriously injured and hurt the source of blood energy. This ginseng is to fill his foundation. of."

"Who would have thought that there was actually a drop of rare and precious spirit ointment hidden in the white jade ink ginseng, and the nine-star general opened the three meridians and the six meridians overnight, and directly had a late period of cultivation, and the foundation was shattered. He played extremely powerfully, and even gained a good physique of the 'Heavenly Power'."

"Now, he is already the leader of the guards around the emperor, and there are a number of people under the supervisor."

Lu Yan smiled and nodded: "So, in my life, I want to live longer. Well, I can live as long as I can. Si Baojian is the place with the most rare treasures in the world. No matter what, I will It is to be a little closer to Si Baojian, and a little closer."

"So, you say, with my background, I want to live a better life. Besides joining the palace guard, is there any other better way?"

"no!"

"So, that's my big truth."

"The above is all true, and there is no falsehood at all!"

Lu Yan exhaled a long breath towards the sky.

This is his truth.

Originally, he joined the palace guard after preparation.

The Shougongjian, or the imperial city behind the Shougongjian, is more beneficial than a Sibaojian?

However, Bai Changkong's family was too deceiving, forcing him to make a decision two years in advance.

"I'm 16 years old. I'm not yet an adult. Does this count as child labor?" Lu Qi sighed inwardly.

The light ahead dimmed.

On both sides of the street, two red lights glowed faintly, like two ghost fires, illuminating a section of the street slightly red.

On the left side of the street, there is a coffin shop with a mottled gilt signboard with the words "Safe Journey" written on it.

On the right side of the street, there is also a coffin shop, with the same mottled and antique gilt signboard, with the words "Fuyin Descendants" written on it.

The facades of the two coffin shops are very large, with five-bay doors on the left and right.

According to the custom of Dayin, there is a red light hanging in front of the coffin shop all the year round, and a red light is hung at the entrance of the two coffin shops. tingling.

Old He shuddered.

Lu Yan calmly walked to the signboard of 'Fuyin Descendants'.

He was just right when he heard a voice from the store: "Boss, here are three of the cheapest thin-skin coffins in your store."
