Immortality is above

Chapter 56 56: Will you come back?

There were lights in the tent.

Under the light, Zhao Geer was wearing casual clothes, revealing her graceful figure.

She was meditating with her eyes closed, when she suddenly felt something, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Chen Liubai.

At this moment, it would be a lie to say that I was not shocked.

Chen Liubai appeared quietly and unpredictably, and the skills he displayed were enough to illustrate one fact: life and death can be taken in just a thought...

However, Zhao Geer was also very human. He quickly calmed himself down, stood up and saluted: "I have seen the young master in my house. Young Master, please sit down."

Chen Liubai did not sit down: "I came to you to find out something."

Zhao Geer was overjoyed, knowing that his chance might be coming, and said hurriedly: "Master, please tell me everything I know."

Get very low.

"First of all, it's about the situation in your Zhao family's imperial court..."

Hearing this, Zhao Geer's heart skipped a beat: These are the most secretive aspects of the imperial family, and many of them are not accessible to outsiders and are really difficult to talk about.

Fortunately, the specific questions Chen Liubai asked were not those:

"I heard something along the way. I heard that the current emperor, your father, Emperor Yankang, believed deeply in Buddhism and worshiped the imperial master. He fasted and chanted Buddha in the palace all the year round, praying for the cause and effect of the next life, and did not go to the court. At the same time, he Build a large-scale construction project, collect donations and taxes, and build a tomb palace. Is the tomb palace ready?"

This question is not a secret. Zhao Geer quickly answered: "So far, it has been built for a total of eleven years and it has not been completed yet."

In Zhao State, the tomb culture involves the ways of ghosts and gods, and the rules and etiquette are very complicated and complex, and they are very particular.

Since ancient times, when emperors were still in power, they would spend a lot of manpower and material resources to identify sites for themselves and start building imperial tombs.

This is basically a common practice. I don’t know why Chen Liubai asked about this.

However, compared to the past, Emperor Yankang's approach was too extravagant and extravagant. He imposed excessive taxes and plundered the world's rare treasures, which led to chaos and many problems.

It should be noted that Emperor Yankang's personal experience is quite legendary. He became a prince at the age of fifteen, but his father lived a long life. It took him a full forty years before he could ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor when he was nearly sixty years old.

At first, he originally believed in Taoism and longed to prolong life and refine elixirs to live forever.

Later, for some reason, my temperament changed drastically and I changed into Buddhism...

……

The conversation between Chen Liubai and Zhao Geer lasted for more than an hour, and then ended, and Chen Liubai left.

Zhao Geer took a long breath and realized that all his clothes were wet. She changed her clothes, gave orders, packed up overnight, and left Dongzhaopo, heading for the dark north.

……

The next day, Chen Weibin received the news that Zhao Geer was heading north to Beijing. He was silent for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Junior Sister is leaving, and it's time for me to leave too."

Hou Huanian looked dejected.

Chen Weibin warned: "Senior Brother Hou, when you go outside, I hope you will be careful in your words and deeds, and be careful of any trouble coming out of your mouth."

Hou Huanian couldn't help but shudder and replied depressedly: "I know."

He took the horse, but he didn't dare to ride it when he was in the village. When he got outside, he got on the horse and ran away as if running away.

This trip from Baidi City, my original intention was to travel around the world and increase my knowledge. Unexpectedly, I stumbled into a big mess in Chenjiaji. I suddenly lost my ambition to travel around the world. I just wanted to find a place to hide and relax for a while. Let’s talk about it later.

But when I got to the official road, I was at a loss and didn't know where to go for a while.

After much thought, I finally made up my mind and chose to go north to continue following Zhao Geer.

……

The warm morning sun shines through the window lattice and shines on Chen Wenqing's face.

After having a long and mysterious dream, he suddenly woke up, got up and got out of bed, went outside, and saw Chen Liubai standing in the courtyard.

So he walked over and said respectfully, "Thank you for your enlightenment."

Chen Liubai smiled and said: "I just pointed out a path for you. Whether you can walk it and how far you can go depends on you."

Compared with yesterday, Chen Wenqing's spirit has obviously undergone tremendous changes. Although he is still as skinny as a stick, his eyes have become brighter: "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. The most painful thing is not finding the way."

"You also want to study abroad?"

"No, I will stay in Chenjiaji until I can go on my own." Chen Liubai slightly nodded: "Good! In this case, I have a broken sword to give to you. Although this sword is just a common weapon, but the visual , or gain something.”

Saying that, he took out the broken sword.

Chen Wenqing stretched out his hands to take it: "Thank you very much."

"Then go home, don't worry uncle."

"Ah."

After walking a few steps and reaching the door, Chen Wenqing suddenly stopped again, turned around again, bowed his hands upright and bowed, and then left.

His character as a gentleman never changes, and when he stands up again after suffering setbacks, his character becomes even more tenacious.

This is far beyond what others can match.

In addition, Chen Liubai also implanted a special belief in his soul through "Little Marriage Dream Technique".

More than three hundred years ago, the bearded ancestor went to sea to seek immortality and left a magic sword in the clan;
  Three hundred years later, Chen Liubai took his sword and left, leaving only one person behind.

Whether it is a sword or a person, in essence, it is equivalent to an inheritance.

The fire is passed down from generation to generation, and that little bit of light, more or less, can always light the way for future generations.

that's enough.

……

Today, the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, the Chen family held a great sacrifice, and the whole family was in great joy, creating a lively and joyful atmosphere.

Chen Liubai went to the new house in the upper half of the village and saw a large house, spacious and generous. The fourth uncle introduced in a clear-eyed manner that going back several generations, this is where the ancestral home of Chen Liubai's lineage is located.

It's better to choose a day than to hit it. Recognize your ancestors, move into your house, etc., all on the same day, and the atmosphere is festive.

Like the houses in Nishou Lane, Chen Liubai also started to decorate his new residence.

When outsiders see it, they only regard it as a formality, but in the eyes of Wang Daozhang, they are amazed.

Chen Liubai said to him: "Taoist Master, the times are changing and uneasy. Why don't you move the Taoist temple into Chenjiaji?"

Taoist Wang was overjoyed when he heard this and hurriedly agreed.

As for the patriarch, Chen Jiagong, there was no objection. Having an additional Taoist Wang in the village would give him more strength, which was a good thing.

Time flies, and a few days fly by in a blink of an eye.

After the excitement, it calmed down.

The guests from all parties said their goodbyes and left; and the tribesmen who rushed back to participate in the ceremony also returned one after another.

Chen Weibin also left, saying he wanted to travel around the world.

Chenjiaji slowly returned to its original appearance.

As for Chen Liubai, it was almost time to say goodbye.

This time, Chen's father and Chen's mother were mentally prepared. To paraphrase Chen's father, "The village is too small to accommodate Chen Liubai. The vast world outside is where he should go..."

So, one morning, Chen Liubai kowtowed to his second elder and got ready to go.

Mother Chen couldn't help but ask: "San'er, will you come back?"

Chen Liubai sighed: "I don't know..."

After hearing this, the old man burst into tears.

Then Chen Liubai walked out of the house and set off towards the rising sun.

In the fields outside Zhuangzi, a farmer who had woken up earlier heard a low chant with a strange accent:

"Where to go, to find the direction in my heart. The wind seems to be sighing in a dream, the roads and people are so vast..."

　At this point, the plot of the first volume has come to an end. I don’t dare to say how well it was written, but it finally echoes the story and is relatively complete. The old author has a problem with writing books. He likes to write about people and emotional interpersonal relationships, rather than being so rough and refreshing. I feel that my writing is really poor, otherwise I would not be often criticized as "short and weak".

　　No matter what, the support of readers and book friends is the first priority. Only when everyone supports me can I continue writing.

　　To paraphrase Mother Chen’s question in this chapter that contains sadness and hope: “Will you continue to watch it?”
