As a eunuch, I don't want to live forever

Chapter 90 Kaili County
During the Yongle period, Chen Luo left the capital alone.

At that time.

He has entered the congenital.

In the world, the strongest person I have heard is no more than Ya Xiantian.

He still keeps a low profile.

This time, the world of cultivating immortals has gradually recovered, and there are many religions, intending to compete for the incense of the world.

Chen Luo is naturally even more difficult to act in a high-profile manner.

You must know that there is no absolute invincibility in this world, even if your talent is immortality.

But what is the definition of immortality?
It is immortality.

Or immortality and immortality?
You must know these four words, but two completely different meanings can be derived.

If it's the latter, I can make waves, but if it's the former... If I choked myself, or was choked by someone, can I still be resurrected?

this is a problem.

Chen Luo lowered his head and thought for a while.

Decided not to gamble.

Sure enough, Gou Dao is the most suitable thing for me.

Do not fight, do not grab.

Avoid arrogance, avoid dryness.

The highest goodness is like water, which is in everything in the world and in everything in the world.

This is his way!
Therefore,

Chen Luo was dressed in light clothes and an old donkey, like a wanderer in the world.

When he left Kyoto, he went to Ji Bao's grave.

The new tombs there have become old tombs.

The grass has been buried in the soil.

Although these years have been sweeping graves every year, they are also full of wind and frost.

People die and things happen.

No matter how much the Ji family misses and worships, they are just seeking psychological comfort.

perhaps……

Has he been reincarnated?

Chen Luo thought.

Turn away.

Passed a mountain.

Meet another mountain.

This mountain has water and a small pool...

Not far from this lake, there is a small hill.

If you don't look carefully, you might not be able to tell that this is an old tomb.

The weeds on the old tomb are taller than a person, and there are several pine trees growing on it.

Chen Luo remembered.

A touch of sword intent condensed in the palm of his hand.

Chen Luoxu pointed.

This sword intent seemed to have consciousness, cutting off the weeds and trees, and accompanied by a gust of wind, the entire old tomb revealed its original appearance.

A small stone tablet appeared.

There are several twisted characters engraved on it: Tomb of Zheng Sanbao.

As for the three treasures, Chen Luo never forgot.

Unlike Jibao,
Sambo is the first friend I met...

It's just that luck is a little bit worse, and his ambition has not waited for the day when it will come to fruition.

When I left Beijing last time.

Chen Luo has been to Zheng Sanbao's hometown.

He thought about whether he could find family members or relatives related to Zheng Sanbao.

Make up for them if you can.

Unfortunately, I searched for a long time and found nothing.

Just like what he said at the beginning, in this world, he has no one to worry about.

then,

Chen Luo gave up.

There is no way to repay the kindness of three or two.

It's just that after leaving this time, maybe there will be no return date, so Chen Luo also came over to take a look.

This is parting.

"Back then I didn't know that there was a theory of reincarnation in the world, but now I know, I hope that one day we can meet in this vast sea of ​​people..."

Chen Luo poured Zheng Sanbao a bowl of wine.

The wine is old Fenjiu.

good wine...

After pouring, Chen Luo remembered that Sanbao seemed to have said that he dared not drink.

pity……

This wine will never be taken back.

So I hope he won't be drunk?

Don't count these anymore.

After all, getting drunk once in a while is also a fresh experience.

not only not bad,

On the contrary, it is very beautiful.

Leaving Beijing this time, Chen Luo went north, not only wanting to see the vast and majestic Great Wall, but also wanting to visit the old capital of Zhao State.

Li Chungang once told Chen Luo that the year when the Tianwu Pagoda was built is unknown and cannot be traced back.

Perhaps it is a remnant of the last era of cultivating immortals.

Even... longer.

However, it is not in the world that Tianwu Pagoda has gatekeepers,

Zhao Gou is also one of the gatekeepers!

It's just that the old capital of Zhao State is not Tianwu Pagoda, but has another name.

On that day, Master Xuanhuai summoned the sky thunder with the technique of incense...

The sky thunder fell, splitting the Tianwu Pagoda,

The rusty iron piece came out of the Tianwu Pagoda, and finally saw the light after an unknown period of time.

Now that he has escaped into Chen Luo's body, although he is still dormant, it is impossible for Chen Luo to say that he is not curious after several years have passed.

Of course, he can wait.

In the endless years, any secret will eventually reveal the day.

But, is it ten years?century?Or thousands of years?

This is hard to say.

Of course, it is also possible that you will never see the light in this lifetime.

Chen Luo thought, maybe he can go and see.

If there is danger, he doesn't need to pursue the mystery that doesn't know the truth.

But if there is no danger.

It's not impossible to find the truth by yourself.

life is alive...

There always needs to be some purpose.

The goal is the driving force for progress.

Although this goal Chen Luo felt that he seemed dispensable.

After all, he wanted to be a salted fish more in his heart.

As for turning over?Occasionally is fine.

This will prevent it from moving for too long, causing mildew.

But in these long years, a little more fun, and occasionally a good view.

then.

Chen Luo decided to go to HD.

When Li Chungang left Kyoto, he said that he would also go to HD...

What did he go to HD for?
See Zhao Gou?
Chen Luo didn't believe it.

See Princess Zhao Chang?
Gee!

It is estimated that this is it.

Bitch is hypocritical,

At first he said he didn't want to see her.

The result is now...

Gee.

Of course, Chen Luo was a little curious about what kind of person this Princess Zhao was, why did she go blind and fell in love with such a wretched person like Li Chungang?

curious!

curious.

really curious...

So, there is another very good reason to go north to HD.

But Chen Luo was in no hurry.

stop-and-go.

stop and go.

The green hills are charming.

Baiyun is passionate.

accompanied by the breeze,

There are winds and frosts as friends.

There are also good insights.

All the way north, he did not deliberately choose some cities and villages.

Choose a direction.

Mountains are worth mentioning.

The forest is also fearless.

Enter every mountain, go straight when encountering water.

Occasionally see people.

They talked very happily, and were even pulled to become brothers of the opposite sex, which made people laugh and cry.

Also crossed the clouds.

Be regarded as a fairy by the world.

Chasing, looking for, shouting to worship the teacher, shouting to worship and salute.

of course.

I have also seen merchants and travelers outside the wilderness.

I also hid from the rain on the official road and saw scholars who rushed to the capital.

In the first year of Jianwu, Xiao Ping, in addition to continuing to implement the policy of exterminating religion pursued in the year of Yongle, also issued a new policy: the imperial examination system!

the nations of the world.

It is difficult for a poor family to produce a noble son, this is the same problem they encountered.

Cultivating martial arts depends on talent.

Reading requires wealth.

Nine out of ten knowledge of the world is in the hands of the aristocratic family.

People in the world can read, what they may read, and what books they want to read are not what you can choose, but what the aristocratic family wishes to give.

You should read whatever he is willing to read to you.

He doesn't want you to read anything, so you can't read anything.

The books Chen Luo was reading were located in the imperial palace and in the library, so there were no such troubles.

But the world is different, their fate has been in the hands of a few people from the very beginning.

Emperor Jianwu opened up the imperial examination,
And build colleges among the people.

This has a chance for the poor family to change their fate...

Therefore, the imperial examination...is chosen by poor families in the world.

As for how many problems there are behind it, it doesn't matter.

Even if you can only win 100% of 1%... This is also a breakthrough and an opportunity.

then……

There was also a scene where Chen Luo saw the scholar going south.

There is also the scene of the official rain shelter and the scholar going south for the imperial examination.

Chen Luo chatted with the scholar very happily.

He also knew the scholar's name: Ning Chen... word: Wen Yuan.

The rain stopped.

The two bid farewell.

Like other people on the road, they don't seek the cause, but only the fate...

see once

That's it.

He didn't need to think about it.

Jianwu five years...

When Chen Luo heard about it, the capital released the list.

High school students take 36.

One of them is a familiar person...

Ningchen Ningwenyuan of Nanguo County, Preface: Twenty.

Chen Luo smiled slightly when he heard it.

Everything in the world is really destined.

Jianwu six years.

Chen Luo was out in the wilderness and came across a ruined temple.

Temples are in ruins.

But there is little incense.

Of course.

This temple is weird.

What is enshrined is not a statue of a god, but a clay cat-shaped statue.

The people of Dazhou banned incense.

Therefore, some temples and Taoist temples are located deep in the mountains, and even some sandalwood can only be secretly made by the common people.

There is nothing wrong with this.

Can……

cat?
Chen Luo still didn't react.

This cat can also enjoy the incense in the world?
This is really the first time I have heard of it.

Just when I met a woodcutter, I knew the reason...

There are cats here.

Not one.

Because it is adjacent to a nearby village, there are often rats in the village. Thanks to the blessings of these wild cats, the rats have been greatly suppressed.

Therefore, the common people found a broken temple and made a clay statue.

This wild cat was enshrined.

And took a name: Cat Empress.

Of course.

The woodcutter also said,

"The imperial court forbids the worship of temples and Taoist temples, and incense is not allowed... But this is just a wild cat, so it is not a violation of the imperial court's order?"

Chen Luo was silent for a while...

Look at this clay statue.

Listening to the woodcutter's words, Chen Luo couldn't find a reason to refute for a moment.

It seems that there is so much truth?
that night.

Chen Luo spent the night in the temple.

He also saw the group of wild cats, black and white, three flowers and six colors.

They looked at Chen Luo from a distance.

dare not approach.

Chen Luo thought for a while, took out some dried fish from the storage bag, and waved her hand.

for a long time.

A white wild cat approached cautiously.

After seeing that there was no danger, the other group of cats came over, but after a while, they became a little friendly with Chen Luo.

All night long.

It's not that lonely.

The next day.

Chen Luo packed lightly and continued on the journey.

A group of wild cats stood in front of the ruined temple, eating fish, and occasionally raised their heads, but his shadow was no longer visible.

Xiaohong is gone...

At the beginning of the fifth year of Jianwu.

Snow fell.

Xiaohong is old and can no longer follow Chen Luo to the north again.

This is Chen Luo's fault.

Counting the time, the fourth generation Xiaohong is also 25 years old.

25 years old is not long.

not short,

But for a donkey, it has entered old age.

So Chen Luo entrusted an escort agency to bring her back to the capital and hand it over to Ji's family.

He gave the Ji family two swords.

It's not too much to ask Ji's family to support Xiaohong for a long time.

Afterwards, Chen Luo no longer had any plans to continue arranging the fifth generation of Xiaohong.

Deep mountains and far forests.

The ancient road is long.

It's easier to be alone.

Jianwu six years.

Chen Luo didn't know when he went north and the road deviated a little, and he came to Danzhou.

When he first entered the border of Danzhou, Chen Luo felt something in his heart.

There is an indescribable feeling.

But can't tell.

After a long time, I gave up pursuing this sudden feeling.

into the city.

Not long.

He met his old friend.

When he saw him for the first time, he was a little dazed, and then ran over from a long distance, kneeling and hugging his leg:

"Grandpa Chen? It's really you! Great, woohoo, I finally saw Grandpa Chen again!"

The streets are full of people.

Cleaned up.

In an instant, all eyes were on himself.

Chen Luo was a little embarrassed.

No?

Who is this?
so enthusiastic?

Our family is a little flattered!
"you are?"

"Gu Yuan, Grandpa Chen, I am Gu Yuan, don't you remember me? Xiao Yuanyuan!!"

People over 40 years old.

Kneeling on the ground, hugging a young man in his 20s, he kept calling Grandpa Chen.

This scene is really eye-catching.

Especially the person kneeling on the ground is not simple.

Someone recognized him.

The ancient garden of the owner of the ancient family in Danzhou City.

Here in Danzhou, it can be regarded as the master who can speak.

Now it's like this...

Everyone looked at Chen Luo with more curiosity,

I'm afraid this young man has some serious status, right?

It's the name Grandpa Chen, isn't it a little flattering?There is always the appearance of having no backbone.

"Oh, so it's you,"

Chen Luo put down her foot silently.

Just nearly kicked him out.

Gu Yuan, the adoptive son of Gu Benchun, when he rescued the disaster victims here in Danzhou, Gu Yuan served him in front of him and behind him.

only……

"Why are you so dark?"

Although he wasn't a badass back then, he wasn't what he is now...

Beard.

As black as black charcoal.

I just don't know how to describe it... Could it be that he came from a country with a black population?

Is this a big invasion?
Gu Yuan felt a little embarrassed.

The matter of Hei is really... I can't refute it.

I can only explain, saying that I have been traveling for a long time in the past few years, and it may be due to too much exposure...

Chen Luo reluctantly accepted this reason, after all, it was impossible not to accept it.

There is really no excuse.

Asked about Gu Benchun's condition.

I heard he is still alive.

That's wonderful.

He was the only friend he met during the Tianqi years.

When he saw Gu Benchun, he was holding a stick to teach a few kids a lesson. When he saw Gu Yuan bring Chen Luo in, Gu Benchun was taken aback.

At seven or eighty years old, he came over and knelt down, hugging Chen Luo's leg: "Master Chen, you... woohoo, I finally see you!"

Chen Luo: ...

Looking at the ancient garden.

Gu Yuan turned his head in embarrassment.

Chen Luo sighed.

Sure enough, they are father and son... Even if they are just adopted sons, this posture is really not bad at all.

"Daddy, what's wrong with grandpa?"

"who is he?"

"Why is grandpa crying?"

Several young boys and brats asked.

It is not easy to see their grandfather like this, and it is impossible for them not to be curious.

When listening to Gu Yuan's explanation. ,
The eyes of these children looking at Chen Luo were full of light.

They grew up listening to Chen Luo's stories.

Gu Benchun is getting old.

He had already retired from the Patriarch of the Gu Family.

Therefore, these years have entered a state of rejuvenation, and the most common thing is to talk about what happened in Kyoto back then.

Among them, Chen Luo had the most stories.

A eunuch who lives in the harem and does not fight or grab.

A genius who was originally a good-for-nothing but walked out of the martial arts path abruptly.

Now, he has become the national teacher of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

This is a legend.

Yu Gu's legend.

It is also the legend of Yu Dazhou.

Now that the legend is in front of them, the eyes of these children are naturally bright.

In their eyes, Chen Luo in front of him turned into light.

Old friends meet.

Very fortunate.

then……

Chen Luo lived in Danzhou for a month.

In the past month, Gu Ben Chun Riri took the younger generation to greet him every day, and Chen Luo also knew something.

For example: the matter of Xiao Xiangning.

After Chen Luo left that year, Xiao Xiangning also left in the second year.

I heard that he returned to the main altar of the White Lotus Sect.

And these years, the influence of the White Lotus Sect here in Danzhou has been somewhat large...

different from others.

The imperial court exterminated religions all over the world. It stands to reason that a sect like the White Lotus Sect should have been targeted by the imperial court long ago.

But no.

The White Lotus Sect did not compete for any incense.

This is one of them.

Second...

I heard that here in Yongzhou, the relationship between the White Lotus Sect and the governor is somewhat close, so the White Lotus Sect has a shelter.

Gu Benchun secretly talked to himself.

He has some gossip about the White Lotus Sect.

like……

The White Lotus teaching ambition is in the court!
In other words...the White Lotus Sect still wants to rebel.

Especially with the trump card of Xiao Xiangning... an incomparably standard Xiao family princess.

To put it bluntly, it is rebellion.

But if it sounds nicer, it's called taking back what belongs to you.

Anyway, for whatever reason.

When Chen Luo heard it, she rolled her eyes...

really.

It's a moment of rebellion and a moment of pleasure.

It's always been fun to rebel.

The White Lotus Sect has engraved the rebellion in their bones.

Well... let's hope they succeed.

Gu Benchun also told Chen Luo one thing.

The matter was related to the dilapidated village where Chen Luo rescued the refugees.

Those refugees who were rescued then settled down in that village.

Counting now, it has been 20 years.

20 years is not much, much less.

In the past 20 years, that village has undergone earth-shaking development.

Name: Qingxi Village.

Simultaneously.

There was also a remarkable person in that village.

Surname Zhan.

Name Dunren.

The word Junze.

Chen Luo was very familiar with this name.

Among the group of refugees back then, Chen Luo named many children...

The name Dunren seems to have been chosen by himself?

Of course, Chen Luo couldn't remember.

Maybe, maybe not, who knows?

This Zhan Dunren is intelligent, likes reading, and admires martial arts.

In these years, he participated in the war to exterminate the religion, served as a forward soldier and horse envoy, and retreated back to Qingxi, where he began to pick up books and read them day and night.

It's not just martial arts that has achieved success.

In the fifth year of Jianwu, he entered the imperial examination list!

Rank thirty!

On the Golden Luan Hall, Emperor Jianwu made an official...

Ask Zhan Dunren what do you want?

Zhan Dunren thought about it.

back:
"I came from Qingxi. Even though it is a small village, the soil is fertile and densely populated, and boats and boats are accessible. If you benefit from neighboring borders, you can set up a county because of the current land."

Unlike Mandian Xinshi, what he wants is only a county...

Great Zhou law.

Only above the county can a city be built.

Today the world seems to be stable, but martial arts and immortals are rampant, knights are everywhere, and there is no city, how to protect the safety of the village?

Emperor Jianwu allowed.

So... Qingxi became a county, renamed: Qingxi County.

Zhan Dunren was the first magistrate of Qingxi County...

When Chen Luo heard the news, he was inexplicably emotional...

It is not easy to be a sergeant from a poor family.

With the wealth and honor of one life, seek the safety of the future generations in the village.

This kid is... not bad.

then……

Chen Luo decided to go to Qingxi County, take a look at the barren village where he once saved the people, and take a look at the new county of Danzhou at this moment.

What Chen Luo didn't expect was that before arriving in Qingxi County, the weird feeling he felt when he first entered Danzhou reappeared.

Even more intense...

"Master Chen, what's the matter with you?"

Gu Benchun asked.

Chen Luo shook his head.

I understand in my heart.

There may be some problems in Qingxi County...
