Devil’s Advent

dry country,

Shangjing,

greenhouse;

Gan people like extravagance and pursuit of elegance. As an official of the Qian state, he is naturally the leader of this way. In a year, he may just make a show before spring plowing to teach the people the importance of spring plowing. The rest of the time, basically No smokey smell.

In the war of that year, the Yan people once ravaged Shangjing, but now, in Shangjing, the songs are still sung and the dances are still danced. You can say that the scars are forgotten after being a dry person, but this is actually a large population of Qianguo. embodiment.

The family is big and the business is big, and it can't be built.

In the conservatory, the official is wearing an open Taoist robe, holding a handful of dried fruits in his hand, watching the painter in front of him painting.

The scroll is very long and wide, and the pen is written by Xu Fangyan, a contemporary painter of the Qian Kingdom. On the left and right sides of him are also famous painters.

The one who grinds the seasoning next to him is also a well-known figure outside.

"Officials, wait until next spring, this "Winter Solstice Snow Walking Picture" will be completed, and this work will surely be famous forever."

It was Yao Zizhan who spoke. He was dressed in white and sat beside the official, holding a wine glass in his hand.

It can be said that in this greenhouse at this time, the real luck of calligraphy and painting has gathered, and it is not an exaggeration to say that more than half of the entire Eastern culture is here.

The official nodded, threw a fruit into his mouth, and chewed it slowly.

other graphs,

Some paint the spring, some paint the scorching summer, and some paint the fall of autumn. Only he, if he wants to paint, he can paint the weather of going to Beijing in the harsh winter.

The prosperity of Shangjing cannot be covered by the cold winter.

This is the hustle and bustle he wants, and it's the weather he wants.

Everyone's boldness is different,

Emperor Yan likes to stand on the city, waving his hands, like gold and iron horses;

He, Zhao Guan's family, likes the center of the Nuan Pavilion, and when he looks up, it is all Wenhua.

It's hard to say which one is better and which one is worse. In short, they are all self-contained.

"Master Yao."

"Officials, ministers are here."

"I like this boy Tianlang very much, but I was worried that he would be easy to break. Young man, when he gets angry, he may really ignore everything. The banquet has not yet started, if he eats cold dishes, he will be ruined." Stomach, it's not worth it."

"Officials, when I came back from Jindi last time, I had a drink with Zhong Wendao, Tianlang was also there, this kid looks young but is not reckless.

As the saying goes, if jade cannot be cut, Tianlang once said to his ministers that my army is as afraid of swallows as tigers, because since Emperor Taizong's Northern Expedition began a hundred years ago, and the Yan army went south two years ago, our army will basically collapse at the first touch in any field battle. Only dare to defend according to the city.

Armor can be repaired, cities can be built, war horses can be raised, and soldiers can be recruited, but only this bravery in the heart cannot be regained without one victory after another. "

"It sounds like it does make sense."

"The vigor of a young man is what I need now."

"Spirit, vigor." Zhao Guanjia reached out for a cup of fruit wine, took a sip, and said, "He is a general on the front line, so he wants to destroy the city and take the enemy's head. The most important thing is that he has already made a lot of fame, and the people of Yan have suffered a few times. If he fails, it will be a cold water for me to fight bravely in the frontier army.

Governing a large country is like cooking small fish. Cooking oil over a strong fire is refreshing and prosperous, but when the firewood is exhausted, the mess can be truly seen clearly.

What I really want is that the country’s destiny lasts forever, not that the country of Yan will disappear in smoke at all costs. The emperor of the country of Yan is used to gambling. If he doesn’t gamble, he will have no chance to come back. But you can ask him , if he had a choice, would he be willing to gamble?

Things in the world are worrying and worrying, and there are all kinds of strange things. In fact, it all depends on whether the person sitting under your buttocks is a wooden pier, a mahogany or... a dragon chair.

Even this dragon chair has its particularity, whether it is silver or gold, and the geometry of the oriental beads inlaid are all different. "

"Yes, the official said so."

"This is also the reason why I have vigorously promoted the generals in the past two years, but I still have to overhaul the civil affairs. In the past two years, I couldn't beat the Yan people. All the mistakes and all the crimes were piled on the civil servants. , but that would be too simple.

Like the emperor of the Yan Kingdom on the opposite side, if the family members are disobedient, they just step on the family members. It is certainly a pleasure, but the country is moving lightly, and there are many military leaders. If it is not for the support of those two princes, the Yan Kingdom will be extremely prosperous for a while. , is also destined to end up in the second generation and die.

Master Yao, my meaning is very simple, and my purpose of compiling this "Winter Solstice Snow Walking Picture" is also very clear, which is to tell you that my national policy of preferential treatment of scholar-bureaucrats will not change.

I have given you face, and they have to take a step back for me, and don't push your nose. Otherwise, I don't want to learn from the emperor at home, but it's not that I can't learn. "

"Yes, official, I understand."

"In addition, I have decided to re-appoint a trilateral admiral. Master Yao has been burdened, and he will work hard for me. Let's run around again."

"However, officials and ministers are only proficient in literature and ink, and don't even know anything about military affairs."

"Ha ha ha ha."

"Why are the officials laughing?"

"Master Yao's words before, someone once said to me, he said it in front of me, he said to me, you don't know soldiers."

"Oh, who dares to be so bold?"

"How about being so bold?" the official asked back.

"Speaking the truth so boldly."

"Ha ha ha ha."

The officials laughed, very loudly. Fortunately, those masters of Danqing who were busy with "Winter Solstice Snow Walking Picture" had already gotten used to the unrestrained behavior of their own officials, so they were not affected.

"That person, Master Yao, you should recognize him, he is from Yan."

"Zheng Fan?"

"People now have titles."

"Uncle Hirano."

"The emperor of the Yan Kingdom is still stingy. If Zheng Fan joins me, I can make him a Duke without hesitation."

"Official atmosphere."

"Because I knew he wouldn't come, so I had a good time."

"Officials..."

"Master Yao shouldn't be burdened with the matter of the three admirals. On the one hand, this move is to quell criticism from the government and the public. The policy of emphasizing culture and restraining martial arts has lasted for a hundred years. Changes cannot be achieved overnight. As I said earlier, Take your time.

Second, I know Master Yao's disposition, Master Yao can sit in the position of Admiral of the Three Sides, and discuss with Zhong Wendao more about what's going on. "

This is almost obvious, because you don't know soldiers and you also know that you don't know soldiers, so you are sent there.

"I understand, I am willing to go."

"Thank you Master Yao."

"The official is being polite. I actually feel that the poems I have written in the past half of my life are more than graceful but not sonorous. I am regretting my whole life. I am very grateful to the official for giving me this opportunity."

"Then I am looking forward to Master Yao's new work in Shangjing. It must be a vast scene like a lonely smoke and sunset."

"The minister must live up to the high expectations of the officials."

at this time,

An announcement came from outside the conservatory:

"Officials, Mr. Houhai Xundao brought the three principals of Qin Tianjian to have an audience."

Houhai is not the sea, but a mountain in the south of Shangjing. The mountain is not high, but it is like spring all the year round, full of colorful flowers. Master Tibetan came from Houhai.

After Master Tibetan Yanjing cut off the dragon's veins, only a half-opened white lotus was left and was brought back by the Baili Sword. From that day on, the person in charge of Houhai was Mr. Xun Dao, Master Tibetan's personal disciple.

The wind of a large-scale practitioner who refines Qi is prevalent, as can be seen just by looking at the official clothes at this time.

"Oh, since Mr. Xun Dao is here, something must have happened, Master Yao, come with me."

...

In the pavilion outside the greenhouse, a changed official came slowly, followed Yao Zizhan by his side.

Mr. Xun Dao seemed to be in his early thirties. It stands to reason that he could not be the first disciple of Master Zang at his age, because the second disciples of Master Zang were both over seventy this year.

But when Master Zang found this son, he thought that his luck was amazing, so he directly made an exception and accepted him as a disciple.

It's just that this exception caused a lot of criticism. Later, all the original apprentices of Master Zang voluntarily took the second place, allowing Mr. Xun Dao to jump in line and become a senior brother.

"Officials."

Mr. Xun Dao did not kneel, but saluted with handprints.

Behind him, the three chiefs of Qin Tianjian knelt down facing the official.

Before waiting for the official to ask,

Mr. Xun Dao directly said:

"A few days ago, a meteorite appeared in the southern border of Houhai Guande Kingdom, which is adjacent to the South China Sea."

"Starfall?"

The officials felt a little headache when they heard this.

They don't really believe in the theory of ghosts and gods, and the ministers don't believe it either, but this doesn't stop the ministers who don't believe in these theories from using this incident to beat him, the official, and blame themselves Go against the grain and so on.

It just so happened that I have been promoting the status of generals in the past two years, which has made the civil servants feel very uncomfortable.

Mr. Xun Dao did not have these twists and turns. He never came to the palace to flatter officials. The relationship between Houhai and the royal family of Qian Kingdom has always been an equal relationship.

Moreover, the royal family of the Qian Kingdom has always had the rule that the princes of the past generations enter the gate of Houhai, but this rule was good at the beginning, and then it gradually changed. It is basically equivalent to the Huxin Pavilion in the Kingdom of Yan. He was sent to Houhai to be a Qi refiner.

"Officials, this meteorite is not a trivial matter. According to calculations made by the cultivators of Houhai, this meteorite is not just a single one, but is connected by four elements."

"The four phenomena are connected to each other?" The official asked curiously, "That means there are three more?"

"Yes, there are stars falling on the western border of Yan, stars falling on the eastern border of Jin, and stars falling on the great lake of Chu;

Although this three-star has not been personally tested, it must be the case with the existence of the four-element qi machine. "

The official frowned slightly and asked, "What's the explanation for this phenomenon?"

Mr. Xun Dao took a deep breath,

spread your arms,

Loudly said:

"The call of the four-element starfall is a world of great contention! According to ancient books, this astrology has appeared twice, and once, it was during the Great Xia Dynasty in the past. This omen appeared. my border;

Therefore, there were the Marquis of Yan, Marquis of Jin, and Marquis of Chu, who held the Great Xia Ziling to open up the frontiers for Zhu Xia.

After the second appearance, within half a year, two generations of Daxia princes passed away as soon as they succeeded to the throne, the Daxia Palace was in chaos, the Xia Ding was lost, and Daxia was destroyed.

The three princes of Yanhou, Jinhou, and Chuhou established the country and opened the ancestral temple! "

The founding of the Qian Kingdom is the latest among the four major countries, and they do not belong to the same column.

The official said in a deep voice:

"Then according to Mr. Xundao, what does the reappearance of the four phenomena star fall this time, what does it mean? I have already known the world of great struggle that Mr. said earlier, and I want to know more specifics."

"Your Majesty, God's will is unpredictable."

"Oh? Could it be that Mr. Xun Dao came here today just to say this to me?"

Mr. Xun Dao knelt down, but instead of kneeling towards the official, he faced east:

"One is the beginning, two is life, and three is the end."

The official closed his eyes for a long time and said, "I see."

Mr. Xun Dao stood up and said, "Fukang from the official family."

After all,

Mr. Xun Dao left.

The three chiefs of Qin Tianjian who came together earlier stood by.

The official waved his hand and said, "You guys also step back."

"The minister waits to leave."

When all the people in the pavilion have left,

The official looked at Yao Zizhan with a smile on his face, and said:

"How does Master Yao feel?"

"It depends on what the officials think."

"Everyone in the world says that Master Yao is a good gentleman, and no one wants to offend him. When a merchant's son is born, he can write poems to celebrate him; if a warrior has made a breakthrough, he can compose poems to cater to him; there is no literary saint's threshold attitude, but I know , Master Yao has always been indifferent to Hou Hai."

"A clear lesson from the official family."

"I know why, and I am also the same. I like to wear Taoist robes, but I just think the Taoist robes look good and are comfortable to wear. In Master Yao's poems, he has written countless times about the love of gods and immortals, but Hou Hai is the only one that is not mentioned. Like me, do you feel that what the people of Houhai are doing is nothing more than a trick to deceive the world?"

"Chen, don't dare."

"Why don't you dare, Mr. Zang went to Yanjing and cut off the dragon's veins, what did the other emperor do, come on, quickly cut off the real dragon and let me see!

Hahaha,

Although I shouldn't laugh, I can't help laughing every time I think of this situation.

Son of Heaven, Son of Heaven, this is the name of the emperor, and the emperor is the supreme being in the world, why is it added with the name of the Son of Heaven? It is because the sky is impermanent, and because the sky does not exist, it is called the Son of Heaven.

Since God doesn't exist, it's no big deal to recognize a father, since he can't point fingers anyway.

Those qi refiners, practicing behind closed doors to prove Taoism and longevity, or refining alchemy are almost enough, but they want to act on behalf of the heavens, and they are always thinking about how the heavens will be, and they are full of thoughts about climbing on top of the emperor and domineering .

So what if Master Tibetan cut off the dragon's veins?

Didn't his Yan people's iron cavalry beat me to the capital?

Isn't the state of Jin, the land of the three Jins, all in the land of Yan now?

For these things, if you believe in them, you will succeed. If you don't believe them, that's the same thing.

As Mr. Xun Dao said earlier, in a world of great strife, do I need him to teach me?

The so-called one-two-three, hahaha, after the fight is over, isn’t it just one-two-three? It’s obviously a very simple truth, but you don’t dare to reveal the secret, and the trick of covering the ground with clouds and fog, really thinks that I am the first emperor? "

Yao Zizhan took a deep breath,

Kneeling down solemnly,

road:

"The official family has such ambition and courage, minister, congratulations to the official family, and congratulations to the great officials!"

"It's a pity, I am much younger than Master Yao, and I am better at taking care of my body than you, Master Yao. I must be behind Master Yao. If I can walk ahead of Master Yao, I can still expect Master Yao to write more good words for me. A good sentence is for flattery.

By the way, Yang Zhong's old dog is not planning to bring him back this time. First, this old dog has been operating in the three sides for a long time, and he is familiar with the situation there. With him here, he can also assist you, Master Yao. Second, , that old dog is there, and it can also be a target for those pens to scold. "

Yang Zhong was Yang Taiwei, the former governor of the three sides, and he was an eunuch.

"Don't worry, officials, I understand Taiwei Yang."

"You, you, everyone understands. It's alright, it's alright, don't let those gods and gods ruin your rare good mood today, let's go back to the Nuan Pavilion and enjoy the paintings."

...

Some people worry about the astronomical phenomenon, some people think deeply about the astronomical phenomenon, and some seem to dismiss it,

someone,

It is dissecting astronomical phenomena.

"I'm very busy." These were Liang Cheng's words.

The Lord will lead the army to Chu State after a while, and Liang Cheng has to be busy selecting the accompanying sergeants, which must be elite without affecting the training and recruitment process of the main soldiers and horses of Xueguan after the Lord leaves.

"I'm busier than you. I only have tonight. Tomorrow, I have to take someone to explore the road in Chu State. Hurry up. This is the last bit left. Try it with your nails. Be careful." Son, can you cut it open?"

"Does it need to be so troublesome?"

"Isn't there no high-precision instruments now? Your nails are definitely better than I use a file. The only thing left is the inside. Be careful, I'm afraid I will accidentally destroy some good things inside."

"You think this is gambling with stones?" Liang Cheng asked.

"Isn't it just gambling on stones? Hurry up and don't dawdle. It doesn't matter if your nails are broken. Anyway, if you don't go this time, you can raise your nails in Xuehaiguan."

Liang Cheng finally did not refuse, and stepped forward, ten nails grew slowly, and began to cut according to Xue San's command.

"Slow down, yes, slow down, cut a little more to the left, be careful, be careful."

"Yes, yes, go a little deeper."

"Slow down, slow down, okay, okay, cut more."

finally,

cut out.

A round meteorite the size of an adult man, in the end, only a palm-sized red stone was cut out.

Liang Cheng's nails were fine.

Xue San took the stone and examined it carefully. It didn't have any amber luster, and it didn't seem to be very heavy.

"Fuck, I thought I could at least get a piece of legendary mithril or something, and let me forge a weapon or something. This thing is not metal at all."

"I told you a long time ago not to have too much hope." Liang Cheng put away his hands, ready to leave, and said: "Before the blind man was thinking about whether there is ice black iron."

"Tsk tsk tsk, forget it, I'll take this to the Lord and report it to the Lord."

Xue San took this up and went into the back house.

In the back house,

Zheng Fan is playing games with Xiao Tiantian. Xiao Tiantian has always liked his godfather, even if this godfather likes to spank his ass.

Xue San just walked in with the red stone,

suddenly,

A black mist hit him directly.

"Fuck, Mo Wan, you are sick, it's me!"

Xue San was strong and agile, and escaped the surprise attack of the magic pill, but the stone he was holding in his hand fell down.

The black mist went back and forth, submerging into the red stone in an instant.

Immediately afterwards,

The color of the black mist began to change gradually. Among the red stones, the figure of the magic pill appeared, but the eye sockets of the magic pill were no longer deep black, but revealed a red luster.

The red stone kept dancing around the magic pill, and in a vague way, it revealed the luster of amber, as if there was a light source shining from it.

Xue San touched his chin subconsciously,

Said to himself:

"It's okay, it's not a loss, it's just a new nest for the magic pill."

This stone is not metal, but it seems to have a great attraction to the soul body.

at this time,

The aura on Mowan's body suddenly began to fluctuate violently.

Xue San immediately showed surprise on his face,

Is this going to be advanced?

All the devil kings have secretly conducted experiments to see if it is possible to get advanced without the master.

The breath of the magic pill fluctuates, indeed, indeed...

At this time, Zheng Fan also felt something, holding Xiao Tiantian and looking this way.

And after Mowan worked hard, suddenly, the aura on his body dissipated invisible, leaving only his original appearance, and even felt his exhaustion.

Obviously, Mowan wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to try to advance, but it still failed.

It seemed as if there was a real pair of hands in the dark, completely "strangled" the demon kings and Zheng Fan together.

Xue San also sighed, with a disappointed expression.

Zheng Fan turned his head and continued to tease Xiao Tiantian, as if he hadn't seen anything in the previous scene.

Sometimes, you can't be confused.

And Mowan, who took a rest for a while, floated over with his new stone, and continued to play the game of "I kick myself" with Xiao Tiantian.

Zheng Fan accompanied Xue San out of the house,

"Just opened this?"

"My lord, this really came out."

"Oh, I thought I could find some natural treasures, but it's okay, maybe it's some kind of material that is more suitable for the soul?"

"The lord is wise, and my subordinates speculate that it may be the magic spar that Western magicians often say."

"It doesn't look crystal clear?"

"But if the soul power enters it, it will be transparent, just like before."

"Well, if we have a chance in the future, let's go to the West to see."

Xue San hurriedly said: "Yes, my lord, after the battle is over, we can plan to go to the south of the Yangtze River or go to the West for fun."

Zheng Fan said with a smile; "There is no conflict."

"Huh?" Xue San didn't understand what he meant.

"It's the same when you're fighting and watching."
