God and mystery

Chapter 263 This is part of the job
A light in the Bailian Headquarters gradually went out, which meant that the monks at the level of earth immortals had died.

Who dares to kill people in Yingtian Mansion?
The courage is really too big.

In the 36 guards, there is also a strange smell of incense brewing. No matter who it is, it is difficult for anyone to imagine that there are people from the White Lotus Sect among the officers and soldiers of Yingtian Mansion, and even the existence of the guards themselves is the residence of the monks of the White Lotus Sect. shelter.

Because King Lu is here, everything is possible.

The South is indeed a good place.

There is no vassal king in the south of the Yangtze River, which is an unspoken rule after Emperor Yongle, because Shuntian Mansion started, and Yingtian Mansion used to be the place where Emperor Jianwen lived, so there was no vassal king, and other vassal kings did not dare to mention this matter. It is a rule that the clans tacitly agree to and must never touch.

Don't say that you are in Yingtian, you dare to come here, and you are guilty of conspiracy.

In the 36 guards, several monks at the level of earth immortals were dispatched, but they only received orders from King Lu to observe those who had escaped the influence of wishes. The fall of monks at the level of earth immortals was not within their expectations within.

"If you are only a Jindan Earth Immortal, but have not become a Yuanshen Earth Immortal, you will not have the means to escape the Yuanshen, and you will not have the incarnation of the Yang God to escape, so your body will be destroyed, and your soul will probably be killed."

"I have reported to the prince."

The guard has become King Lu's personal armament, and the monks of the White Lotus Sect have different views on this.

This is an irreversible trend, and it is not the behavior of King Lu alone.

In this era, which of these court guards actually became servants?

There is no difference between Ding who is the court and Ding who is the prince.

"So you are Lord Shen Jing's younger brother."

When Ji Xiang asked about the family background of the middle-aged scholar, he understood where the righteousness in him came from. The law of this had already been figured out, that is, he was not an official in the court but had too much contact with the life of the people and wrote a lot of books. This kind of power will appear in the people of the drama script.

The power of Confucianism and Taoism is too idealistic, and powerful people are often alienated by righteousness, alienated by officialdom, or fail in exams repeatedly, so that these people who enjoy themselves in hardship often have the conditions for the birth of righteousness.Ji Xiang thought, isn't it true that the poor are only righteous?

Perhaps putting aside those gold, silver and jewels, and the power to determine life and death, you can see the most important self-essence of a scholar.

Mr. Shen Jing used to be the Chancellor of Guanglu Temple, but he resigned and returned home in 16 years of Wanli. Although his surname is Shen, I don’t know if he has any relationship with the current Ge Lao Shen, but these are not very important.

In fact, the reputation of this old gentleman is very famous among the people, just because his name is printed on many best-selling books.

In Ji Xiang's view, and even in the folks' view, apart from his status as a dramatist, the most important reason why he is well known to the world is because he is a "best-selling author of fan literature".

"Water Margin" is a best-selling book, and Mr. Shen wrote "The Story of the Righteous Hero", and the protagonist is Wu Song in Water Margin.

And "The Righteous Hero" was specially interpreted as an opera script.

On the streets of Yingtianfu, near those bustling markets, there have always been opera troupes performing this script, which is relatively popular and profitable. After all, who would not want to watch the plot of Wu Song's happy enmity and killing all the way?

"My brother is stealthily polishing his pen. When I went back to see him last time, he was writing "Nanjiu Palace Thirteen Tune Music Score". To be honest, I don't quite understand what you mean by righteousness."

"About seven or eight days ago, I received a transfer order from the Shuntian Mansion. A person named Liu Mengyin sent a letter to my brother. It is said that he invited my brother to go to Shuntian to meet him. To be honest, this person is a little rude. An old man who knows his destiny travels thousands of miles to meet pen pals? What's more, my brother has long since resigned from office and returned to the village."

Ji Xiang smiled: "Then your brother has gone?"

"Not yet, but my brother seems very nervous, and sighed, and I don't know why he is distressed."

"Could it be that Liu Mengyin is a senior cabinet official?"

Shen Yu shook his head, expressing his incomprehension.

"Go, if you go, there will be unexpected gains."

Ji Xiang said something casually.

Shen Yu was surprised: "Could it be that you know the inside story of this person?"

Ji Xiang: "It wasn't Liu Mengyin who asked your brother to go, it was Emperor Wanli who asked your brother to go."

Shen Xing opened his mouth wide, a little dull, even more puzzled.

"What's the use of the emperor summoning a playwright?"

Ji Xiang smiled mysteriously: "Perhaps the emperor is interested."

Shen Xing showed a sad face.

The lord of a country likes opera?

This is not a good sign.

"Then, isn't that a bit bad? I'm a low-speaker. The Xuezheng of Yingtian Guozijian is only a ninth-rank official. I'm afraid I won't be able to say anything to the emperor. I wonder if you can speak for your majesty?"

"The Empress of the Southern Tang Dynasty."

In the middle of Shen Xing's words, the meaning of sadness is already in the silence.

The small building was windy last night, so the country was unbearable looking back on the moon.

It wouldn't be a bad thing if the emperor didn't do his job properly.

Ji Xiang thought about it. In fact, Emperor Wanli doesn't have any real job now. His daily job should be to read the Korean War Report. Official vacancies are not filled. It has to be said that Wanli is naturally a bit political.

"Don't worry, this is also part of the work of Emperor Wanli now."

"Just go, if you are afraid of being detained by the emperor, if you don't mind, you can just mention my name."

"Before the emperor, I still have three points of thin face."

Although Shen Yu didn't know why listening to music and writing books became part of his job, he didn't ask directly either. Since this immortal made his brother feel at ease, he had no choice but to go.

When we arrive at Suncheon, everything should be clear.

As for face, some notices from the imperial court arrived at Yingtian along the Grand Canal, but it was earlier than Ji Xiang came here.After all, Ji Xiang wandered around in several places on the way.

The only immortal master in the imperial court, of course, has this face.

"Brother Immortal, what spell did you use just now?"

The little girl Shen Yixiu finally found a chance to speak. At this moment, the three of them were already hidden in the crowd. What surprised and weirded both Shen Xing and Shen Yixiu was that no matter how slow they walked, no matter which direction they walked, they were always in harmony with each other. Not far away, Liu Zimin can always appear.

"The little lady is talking about the flying sword, or the escape technique?"

Ji Xiang is holding gold in his hand, which he got from Lady Yin Ping, and the Ascension to Immortals Conference is a good event, there are really many rich people here, gold and silver jewelry are everywhere, and the technique of golden escape is almost impossible. It is unhindered to use, very smooth.

Unexpectedly, among the thirteen great escapes, Jin Dun, who ranks last at the bottom, can also adapt to the world and show his holiness everywhere.

Miss Shen's bones are very good, perhaps it has something to do with her uncle's righteousness, she has been nurtured since she was a child, so her roots have developed extraordinary supernatural powers.

Perhaps, it was also because of this that he was not affected by the strange wish in Yingtian Mansion.

Is it a wish arranged by the people of the White Lotus Sect to affect the people?

It doesn't look like much, and the impact of wishing doesn't seem to be deep, and the word Lu Wang has entered Ji Xiang's ears, and it's been a while since I heard about this prince. I remember the last time I knew him. When it was named, it was still at Milong Casino.

"The White Lotus Sect has something to do with this prince, but they dare to hold the Ascension Fair here, which is no different from rebellion. If you have nothing to fear, you will definitely have the support of an expert."

Ji Xiang muttered, and heard the little girl's question again, which was about escapism.

"This is a spell that can be used to run away quickly. It can run faster than a rabbit."

Ji Xiang replied solemnly, and the little girl Shen stared at her beautiful little eyes with an expression that you were prevaricating me.

So she also raised her face and asked, "Can I learn spells?"

Ji Xiang looked at Liu Zimin's panicked back, and simply responded to the little girl: "Spells are not something you can learn just by looking at them for fun."

"The people who wanted to arrest you just now are members of the White Lotus Sect. They can also use magic spells. They don't use them on the right path but on evil ones. Even though they say they want to benefit the world, most of them are just using spells. Just to make money."

"In this world, there are too many people who do not use spells to do good, but to do evil. Cultivators are not real immortals, and real immortals are not the kind of freedom you imagined, traveling the sea in the east and living in Kunlun in the west. By."

"So, to learn spells, the first thing is, don't hold the mentality of playing."

"Be in awe of the spell itself. The world fears you because of the spell, not because of how scary you are."

"The law is infinitely powerful, and it must be driven with caution."

What Ji Xiang said was earnest teaching.

After hearing this, little girl Shen suddenly said seriously, "Do you want to swear?"

Shen Xing immediately taught her a lesson, telling her not to think about these things, and swore that it was not something that could be said casually, but she did not expect that Miss Shen said that she had thought it through.

"Learning something is nothing more than three motives: love, compulsion, and hatred."

"If you love this thing, you will take the initiative to learn it."

"If you are forced to learn this thing, you won't care too much about its rules."

"Learning this thing because of hatred should be evil."

"Now I want to try it because I like it. For this reason, I am willing to swear that I will never do evil. When we go to the temple to sacrifice to the gods, the gods will definitely hear my oath. I think this is the best way to express my opinion." Good way."

Shen Yu was silent, watching Ji Xiang not speaking, but suddenly said: "My daughter, when she was four or five years old, could recite the poems of ancient poets, and she could not forget them, and understood many thoughts of the ancients from them. Someone once saw it for my daughter and said that she is very talented and born with wisdom."

"Indeed."

Ji Xiang nodded slightly, and looked at Miss Shen: "I really admire you."

So I thought in my heart that the time when the mountains and rivers of the outside and the inside will merge is coming, I don't know how many years are left, if there are some geniuses, rather than being led astray by some immortals later, it is better to take it under their command as soon as possible.

The craftsman's child from Shuntian Mansion, the little fox from Yuquan Mountain, the Daoist from the Shangqing School, and the little girl Shen in front of me, at first glance, are good seedlings of Confucian immortals. Yin tonic.

Hmm. Little fox?
From some aspects, Hu Xiaoshi has never been able to learn the Golden Light Curse, and he is also a genius in another direction.

Thinking of this, so.
"Well, what can I teach you?"

"Just the Golden Light Curse."

The fairs in Yingtianfu are decorated with lanterns and streamers, and on the painted boats on the Qinhuai River, beauties are like jade.

"However, after teaching you the Golden Light Curse, you have to do me a little favor."

"Take me somewhere."

As Ji Xiang said, Miss Shen was very polite: "That's what it should be, where is Brother Immortal going?"

"Temples, monasteries, handicraft workshops, in short, are those places where incense is flourishing and various gods are enshrined."

Ji Xiang said something meaningful, and then pointed to a market. At this time, the Shen family's father and daughter realized that it was only a few steps away, and another street was changed, and Liu Zimin's familiar figure was still not far away. place.

"I just watched the workshop."

"There are quite a few Guan Gongs up there."

The setting sun is falling, the night is full of stars, and Yingtian Mansion is still full of flowers. Compared with Shuntian Mansion in the north at the same time, it should have been plunged into darkness by now, and the Yin Division God will start to patrol the whole city.

Curfew, in the late Ming Dynasty, there were hardly many big cities in the south still observing the curfew. Only the various checkpoints and the important towns on the nine borders strictly observed the curfew.

As for Yingtian Mansion, this majestic city with neither vassal nor emperor, but the economic center of the south, has already fallen into a carnival, and even the officials of the Six Departments of Yingtian don't care about these things.

After all, being transferred from Shuntian Mansion to Yingtian Mansion is tantamount to demotion. Even if the official rank remains the same, but leaving the real political center means that he cannot show his face in front of the emperor, and his political career basically ends here. If you want to get more salary, just mix it up.

Even the officials don't care about such things. The students of the Imperial College in Yingtian Mansion naturally dare to go out and do whatever they want. In fact, although Yingtian's Imperial College is as famous as the Shuntian Imperial College in the north, everyone knows that the Imperial College in the south, Most of the deep members in it are just former residences of the imperial court or the heirs of local bureaucrats. It is false to study in the Nanguo Zijian, but it is true to be gilded.

The princes of the nobles, dressed as students, calling for friends, carrying lamps and wine, poured into the streets in great numbers, and those scholars who got together to write poems had to avoid them when they saw them, and pointed out the courage of the country when there was no daylight , is really ashamed.

However, not all the bureaucrat's children gathered together, and they dispersed when they walked a little farther, leaving small groups one by one, and three of the bureaucrat's children met two beauties.

Wearing veils, the two beauties invited them to be guests on their boat.

"Three sons, can I take a step to speak?"

"The prince has chosen you."

The three bureaucrats were in a daze, wishing to reverse their cognition, feeling very happy, and even began to discuss that their talents had reached Lu Wang's ears, and the two beauties were behind them, revealing their clothes under their clothes. Scorpion with snake's tail.

The monsters began to gather in Yingtian Mansion and turned into humans.

Near Ji Xiang, many monsters also appeared, but they did not greet Ji Xiang immediately.

Instead, looking at the soap suit, they thought of what happened in their minds two days ago.

"it's him"

"Soap coat!"

"He also brought two people selected by King Lu, Xuezheng and his daughter from the Imperial College, who were also tainted with righteousness."

In the crowd, all wrapped in robes, they looked at the tall man who was like a Jianghu hero, and gave orders to the other monsters around him.

"I don't know why, at that time, it felt like this person seemed to be our natural enemy!"

"This soap coat, it may be a kind of induction in the blood. It is telling us that we must kill him!"

On the bank of the Qinhuai River, Prince Liejie left the boat, and according to King Lu's instructions, he was going to meet Ji Xiang on the night before August [-]th.
