If You Can’t Be a Son-in-law, You Have To Be Sanctified

For many people in Dafu, there is one more story in Taixuanjing that is worth telling.

The young Mr. Xiaojing won the first three trials in front of the temple, and the list was posted on many streets. He was dressed in white clothes and two swords at his waist, which were bestowed by the Great Lord, and he was also praised by everyone.

When Emperor Chongtian personally issued the Heavenly Edict, giving Lu Jing the authority to enforce the law, there was a banquet after that, just like the banquet after the imperial examination, the winner could enter the Taigan Hall and have a banquet with the officials.

And the rest of the many people who participated in the palace test can also participate in the banquet in another palace.

These people were recommended by many famous people in the world, they dared to participate in the palace test, they naturally have some talents, and this banquet is also to give these people one more chance.

It's just that this time is different from the previous palace test. The vast majority of those who participated in the second test of Yuanshen and Martial Arts are young geniuses from the lineage of the crown prince and the seventh prince.

Because of this, many test takers never attended the banquet that followed.

And Lu Jing's banquet in the Taigan Palace was nothing new, it was just that many civil servants and generals came to talk to him, Emperor Chongtian didn't even stay at the banquet for a long time, only stayed for a quarter of an hour, and left with Jiang Baishi .

Emperor Chongtian left, Li Guanlong, Chu Guogong and even the ministers of the Seventh Prince's line did not stay any longer, and also turned and left.

The civil servants and generals who stayed at the banquet were quite enthusiastic about Lu Jing, because Lu Jing's talent was obvious to all, and now he also had the right to wear a sword and wear white clothes.

When many people see him, they often think of the previous Bai Yi, and feel that even if Lu Jing is not as good as him in the future, he will naturally have different achievements.

So when they talked to Lu Jing, there was often exclamation in their tone.

The banquet lasted for a full hour, Lu Jing sat and drank without being in a hurry.

The white clothes that I put on after bathing and changing were carefully sewn by Dafu Taixuan Palace Garments. In addition to being well-fitting, the front, collar, and cuffs have a special line sewn with many patterns.

On weekdays, these lines cannot be seen under normal light, but when the sun shines on Lu Jing's body, these lines will turn silver, making people feel more luxurious.

Although many people left, the banquet was equally lively and there were many familiar faces.

For example, Sheng Ruzhou, Zhong Yubai, Zhao Zimo...

Zhong Yubai was sitting next to Lu Jing. With a peaceful smile on his face, he looked at Lu Jing and asked, "Try the leader three times in front of the palace. You will have the great favor of the imperial court, and you, the sage, specially bestowed you with the best of luck." The white clothes have the grace to go up with a sword.

After tomorrow, you can still hand in the memorial, and the imperial court will solve many problems in your daily life.

Lu Jing, I didn't expect that in just a few months, you not only got out of the cage that trapped you, but even gained such authority. "

Zhong Yubai sighed in his tone, holding a glass of famous palace wine in his hand, drinking with Lu Jing.

Hearing Zhong Yubai's praise, Lu Jing just saluted Zhong Yubai: "Without Mr. Yu Bai, Lu Jing might not be able to leave Lu's residence and become Mr. Shulou."

Zhong Yubai waved his hands slightly, he looked down at Lu Jingpei's Hu Feng Huan Yu at his waist, and said, "I always feel that these two treasures Hu Feng Huan Yu obtained for Dazhu Kingdom from the Yang Jiehai have some special secrets... I don't know I don't know the way of the sword, but when the rain-calling sword flickers, the clouds and mist flow, and the mysterious atmosphere hidden in it, I can't see it clearly, but it does exist."

Zhong Yubai is also a master of swordsmanship, and his Yuanshen swordsmanship is also famous all over the world. Otherwise, when the Northern Qin Dynasty attacked Anhuai, how could Zhong Yubai, who was in the library, dare to go downstairs alone and pick up the blood-stained long sword? , Return to the motherland.

Not to mention that he didn't dare to sit alone in the capital of Anhuai country. Even after Anhuai country was destroyed and his family was destroyed, he could still survive. This in itself proved that Zhong Yubai's cultivation had reached a very high level.

Zhong Yubai had a smile on his face: "Your reputation will soon spread all over the world, and many world-renowned overhauls may come to Taixuanjing specially for you."

"If I had known before, I should have persisted. At that time, when you entered the library, Mr. Guanqi named you Mr. Shulou. I was very grateful to the library. Because you were only sixteen years old at the time, I thought Mr. Guanqi would accept you as his apprentice.

Thinking about it now, up to now, you are not someone else's disciple, you are just a Mr. Shulou, and you have never been a teacher, so you can naturally become someone else's disciple. "

Hearing what Zhong Yubai said, Lu Jing lowered his head and thought for a while, and was about to ask.

Zhong Yubai waved lightly at Lu Jing, and said with a smile: "Wait for a few months, but it can be said that times have changed.

At that time, you had just cultivated the gods, and you hadn't even had the sunshine of the primordial spirit, so I can naturally accept you as a disciple, but now... you are only one step away from the divine fire. Under the realm of transformation, perhaps there is no one in the vast world to be your opponent .

I want to accept you as an apprentice again, to be your teacher... In fact, I am not qualified anymore. "

When Zhong Yubai said this, his face was quite serious: "Lu Jing, the world is vast, but there are not many people who really look down on the world on the way of cultivation.

The Great Buddha in the World of Daleiyin Temple, the Master of Zhenwu Mountain, Baili Qingfeng of Daozong, the two Taoist priests of Dongwangguan, Emperor Banyanmi of Landa Temple, General Butian of Pingping Township, the Dragon King of the Central Dragon Palace...

In this world, these people are the real powerhouses beyond a few countries. If you can meet them in the future, you may have other extraordinary opportunities. "

When the two were drinking, Zhong Yubai also talked about many things in the world, while Lu Jing listened carefully.

After drinking for three rounds, and persuading several other adults to leave, Lu Jing and Sheng Ruzhou saluted and said goodbye, and walked out of Taixuan Palace with Zhong Yubai.

It was already night.

"Mr. Yu Bai, the new year is approaching, and you are single, why not come to Lujingyuan to have a reunion dinner together on New Year's Eve?"

Lu Jing invited Zhong Yubai, but Zhong Yubai looked at him, shook his head and said, "Tomorrow I'm leaving for the Northwest Road."

Lu Jing was a little surprised, and frowned: "Why are you in such a hurry?"

There was a smile on Zhong Yubai's face, but there was still some impatience in his eyes: "The Northwest Road is not far from Beiqin, and there are many Beiqin monks who come here in disguise, making trouble in it, and even instigating many demons.

I go to the Northwest Road, sit in the northwest with Chu Shenchou, and I can kill a few Northern Qin monks, but it is better than staying in Taixuanjing all day long, looking at the files of the Ministry of War. "

When Zhong Yubai said this, when he probed his hand, there was an extra sword in his hand.

It was the father's famous sword that King Anhuai gave to Zhong Yubai's father's sword, and Zhong Yubai always carried this sword with him.

"I used to kill Junfu with my father, but now I can use this sword to kill several Beiqin monks, and even in the future, I can use this sword to kill several Beiqin generals.

Only in this way can my heart be more relaxed. "

Lu Jing naturally knew that Zhong Yubai had killed Lord Anhuai with this Junfu sword, and Zhong Yubai had suffered a lot in his life because of this. Now that he has the opportunity to relieve the suffering in his heart, it is naturally a good thing.

So Lu Jing congratulated Zhong Yubai.

"Lu Jing, now you are in charge of the law, but... you have no official status, but when you think about it carefully, you are just alone.

The Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple will recognize your authority, but they will not help you. In many things, you must not be impulsive. Although the sword at your waist can cut injustice, you must take care of yourself after all. regardless of. "

When they arrived at the gate of Zhong Yubai's mansion, Zhong Yubai talked to Lu Jing with a sincere heart.

Lu Jing just smiled calmly and answered.

Zhong Yubai entered the mansion, Lu Jing looked up at the sky, but saw that the night at this moment was quiet and cold.

There are no stars and moons in the sky, the cold night is dark, and there is not much light.

Lu Jing turned around and looked at the darkness behind him without moving.

After a few breaths of time, a tall young man walked out of the darkness.

The young man was wearing a short jacket with a firm face, walked up to him, and saluted Lu Jing: "Jing Zhe pays homage to Mr. Lu Jing."

Lu Jing glanced at Wei Jingzhe up and down, with a little surprise in his eyes, but he didn't say much, just kept going.

Wei Jingzhe followed behind Lu Jing, and the two walked in the dark like this.

"Wei Jingzhe saw Mr. walking side by side with that adult, so he never stepped forward to disturb him."

Wei Jingzhe said: "Sir, long time no see, have you been well?"

This young man knows how to be polite, but Lu Jing glanced at him with great interest, and said with a smile, "Actually, it's not too long ago, but it's only three months, and in just three months, you have achieved I have a good spirit, my body is full of qi and blood, and even when the qi and blood are flowing, I can even feel the martial arts spirit of a dragon and snake in the first awakening, which... is very rare."

Wei Jingzhe respected Lu Jing very much, and replied earnestly: "Sir, I have quite a chance, so I stepped into the martial arts path, and now I have practiced hard for many days, and I will finally gain something."

"No matter what, I still have to thank you sir. If it wasn't for your help back then, Jing Zhe would probably be a dead bone now, so why would he talk about cultivation?"

Lu Jing and Wei Jingzhe were walking on the street, but Wei Jingzhe found that Lu Jing didn't seem to be going to Yanglu Street, but was walking towards West Street.

And he didn't ask too many questions, he just followed Lu Jing and said, "Sir, I read 3,000 words today, but there are many things I don't understand, and I hope you can clarify my doubts for me."

With a question in his words, Wei Jingzhe stood still again and saluted Lu Jing.

Lu Jing nodded slightly.

Wei Jingzhe asked: "Today, I have already read through Mr.'s article hundreds of times, but I always feel in my heart that since human beings are more valuable than demons, ghosts and gods, water and fire, and even immortals in the sky...

But in this world, the lives of mortals are as cheap as livestock. My father raised horses all his life and died under the hooves of the horses. For many adults, a servant is dead after death. The life of a servant is not as precious as a horse . "

"And I have been working as a porter at the Zhutai River Wharf for many days, and I have also seen many people from other Taoist prefectures who came to the capital to survive.

Since then, it has been known that many local people are living in dire straits, many people lost their lives because of a full meal, and even people from the border crossed all the way to Taixuanjing in order to avoid the war.

When they set off, there were even hundreds of thousands of people, but when they arrived in Taixuanjing, only a few survived. "

"People are more valuable than all things in the world... But the nobles of the prosperous Taixuanjing, why don't you want to lower your head and take a look at the ordinary people?"

Wei Jingzhe lowered his head and said softly, his tone full of doubts.

"The lives of the nobles are naturally much more important than the untouchables like me. They can sit in a prosperous place and enjoy my prosperity.

But at the same time, the reason why they are expensive is because there are countless untouchables in this world who lift them up to a high place. They step on the heads of the untouchables and climb up to the clouds step by step.

That being the case... why don't they want to look down at the world, why don't they try to do something to save the people of the world? "

Wei Jingzhe breathed a sigh of relief when he said this: "People in the world are naturally divided into high and low, and many ordinary people don't have any unreasonable desires, they just want to survive."

Hearing Wei Jingzhe's words, Lu Jing looked calm, and said, "The hardships of the Great Fu did not happen overnight.

There are many aristocratic families in Hedong and Hebei, with countless fields. I don't know how many people have become tenants. They have farmed and cultivated land for the aristocratic families from generation to generation, just for food and clothing.

In the west and north, wars continued. In the Thirteenth Dao, countless middle-aged and laborers died in the battle against the Northern Qin. It is much more contemptible than the lives of people in the prosperous land of Dafu. If it is gone, it will be gone.

Even... In the five-party Dragon Palace, there is a dragon king who cannibalizes people. Under the influence of monsters, people in remote places have to sacrifice virgins and virgins to save more lives.

After leaving Dafu, Beiqin was silent for the time being, and the whole country had already become fuel for the battle.

Even in the country of evil, the people who are really in the clouds take pleasure in beheading and skinning..."

As Lu Jing spoke eloquently, Wei Jingzhe followed behind him, lowering his head, wondering what he was thinking.

"In the world, it is difficult to achieve absolute equality. In my opinion, the idea of ​​equality township is actually not desirable.

But human life is very important after all, it cannot be treated as weeds or ants. "

"People are more valuable than all things in the world, and life is naturally equally precious, but in this world, there are still many people who don't think so."

"They only see that people are more valuable than all things, but they only see the people in the article as themselves, looking at those who are also in the clouds.

And those people struggling in the dust have been forgotten by many people.

At this point, Lu Jing turned his head to look at Wei Jingzhe, and said, "This is the helplessness in the world, and no one can easily change it.

If you want to make this world better, one article and a few people are not enough. If you feel puzzled in your heart, your power can't change anything. Even if I am in this vast torrent, It's just a small wave, you... do you understand? "

Wei Jingzhe was silent for a long time, and then replied: "The affairs of the world, of course, cannot be changed by ordinary people."

...

The two were talking in a low voice while walking down the street.

And not far from them.

Baili Qingfeng sat on the yellow-maned horse, while Yu Qixiang still led the horse forward.

The two of them are only ten feet away from Lu Jing and Wei Jingzhe.

But for some reason, even Lu Jing didn't notice their existence, Baili Qingfeng and Yu Qixiang quietly listened to the conversation between Lu Jing and Wei Jingzhe.

Yu Qixiang thought for a long time, and suddenly said: "What Mr. Lu Jing said is quite reasonable... In the eyes of people in many prosperous places in Dafu, the lives of the people in the three prefectures of Chong'an do not seem to be very important.

Chong'an Sanzhou stopped Bei Qin, and it is unknown how many people died.

But the prosperous places in the world are still prosperous, and the three prefectures of Chong'an have been dilapidated year by year, and many young and strong men have died. "

With white hair hanging down, Baili Qingfeng looked at the back of Lu Jing in front of him, squinted his eyes and said, "As he said, Dafu has been in trouble for a long time, and when Emperor Chongtian ascended the throne of God, many things have eased slightly.

For example, in this Taixuanjing, Emperor Chongtian allowed the library to educate the people without discrimination, and educate the people in the capital. The rules in Taixuanjing gradually became enlightened, and the influence of Confucianism of the aristocratic family gradually faded, and its power was gradually weakened. .

But...Under the gaze of the immortal, Dafu Chongtiandi was astonishingly imposing. He wanted to complete his work in one battle, so he made many trade-offs and sacrificed many people instead.

Jiang Baishi has an obsession in his heart, and wants to forge a chessboard, so that all the fallen immortals in the sky will fall into his chess game and turn them into nourishment for feeding the world.

General Butian of Pingping Township thought about using the Zen stick in his hand to roughly and directly carve out a piece of Pingping Tiandi.

...Under such a general trend, the power of one or two people, like a splash of water, disappears in an instant, without any waves. "

"Under such a great world, the original nobles have become more and more lofty and almost inviolable... And this is the reason why I have never come to Taixuanjing for many years."

In Baili Qingfeng's free and easy eyes, there was some disgust: "These people pay too much attention to the situation, and they always have a lot of worries in every move. Even if many powerful people make mistakes, they are punished without pain or pain.

Because of this, I only like the wine in Taixuanjing, but I don't like the people in it. "

Yu Qixiang listened quietly, and walked a long distance, finally couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart, and asked, "Sovereign, what exactly do you want me to do with Lu Jing?"

Baili Qingfeng was about to answer.

But Lu Jing and Wei Jingzhe in front finally stopped.

But their location was in front of a luxurious mansion.

This luxurious mansion looks quite thick and simple, and occupies a very large area. There are four guards at the door, wearing armor different from the Dafu style, standing with swords.

Wearing white clothes, Lu Jing looked up at the mansion with neither sadness nor joy on his handsome face.

"Hengshan Mansion?"

Wei Jingzhe was quite puzzled, it's getting late now, why did Lu Jing come here?

"I once dreamed of a very good world, and this is where the three thousand words came from."

Lu Jing seemed to have some trust in Wei Jingzhe behind him, looked at the Hengshan Mansion in front of him, and explained: "The world in my dream is much better than this dilapidated world. People can't be called rich and powerful, but after all Live with a little dignity, after all, there is no shortage of a full meal.

I am used to seeing the world in my dreams, and when I look at the monsters and ghosts in this world, I feel particularly disgusted in my heart. I always feel that since I have come to this world, I must do something within my ability.

Otherwise, people who have seen the world in their dreams will turn into ancient people with their hair tied and robes, which is a kind of regression. "

Lu Jing said so.

Wei Jingzhe seemed to understand but didn't understand. He didn't know what Lu Jing said about the people who had seen the world in his dreams, the ancients... these words really meant.

The two of them looked at Hengshan Mansion across the street.

Lu Jingdao: "Have you ever heard of the name of Prince Qi?"

Wei Jingzhe nodded: "Many people on the pier mentioned that it is said that he is a tyrannical, bloodthirsty and insane person."

Lu Jing held down the wind blowing knife on his waist with one hand, and replied: "That's true, I have read many travel records, and I have met the prince of Qi several times.

Tyrannical and bloodthirsty are not enough to describe him.

But this kind of person lives in the most central place of Dafu grandly. The most annoying thing is that he still bears the well-being of the people of Dafu and Qi. In terms of it, it must be a catastrophe.

You see, many things in the world are just such helplessness. "

Wei Jingzhe's expression also became quite indifferent, looking at the Hengshan Mansion in the distance: "The prince of Qi State is so tyrannical. It is said that in the capital of Qi State, he often beheads and skins him. Now that he is in Dafu, he should restrain himself a little."

Lu Jing smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes: "This matter is still unknown, but I...have some extra gains."

Wei Jingzhe listened carefully.

Lu Jingdao: "The Prince of Qi has two very famous monks, one is named Xiaogu, and the other is named Xiaoming.

The reason why I know their names and surnames is because a Mr. Shulou visited the Gaoxia Academy of Qi State and wrote a travelogue of Qi State after returning.

The names of these two monks are recorded in it. They raised ghost fires and used the lives of so-called slaves in Qi to raise ghost fires and turned them into their own nourishment to break through the situation. "

"It is said that the number of slaves who died under their hands may have exceeded 10,000. Leilei's bones, countless flesh and blood were devoured by will-o'-the-wisps."

"Most of these slaves came from the surrounding countries, but they were plundered by the army of Qi State, and eventually died in their hands."

"Ten thousand... ten thousand?" Wei Jingzhe opened his mouth slightly, but for a moment, he didn't know what to say.

Not far away, Baili Qingfeng and Yu Qixiang didn't understand what Lu Jing wanted to do, but they also frowned.

"Sir, the reason why you came to Hengshan Mansion is..." Wei Jingzhe was startled for a while, and asked.

Lu Jingdao: "Because I found out that among the two strong men, the seventh-level monk named Xiaogu is in the Hengshan Mansion."

Wei Jingzhe's eyes were blank, he didn't understand that even if Lu Jing found the owl bone, so what?

Xiao Gu is a subject of Qi State, and he came to Dafu with the prince of Qi State, even if killing people is useless, what does it have to do with Lu Jing?

"Could it be that sir wants to seek justice for those who died?" Wei Jingzhe asked in a low voice.

Lu Jing turned his head, took a serious look at him, shook his head and said, "In this world, most people are alone, and things like seeking justice for others will inevitably make people laugh... But, I do feel sorry for that owl. from the bone."

At this point in Lu Jing's words, the smile on his face grew stronger: "It's a coincidence that this owl...has a grudge against me.

Naturally, the lives of those Qi State slaves have nothing to do with me, a Dafu. "

"I just came here to enforce the law, and asked the prince of Qi, why did he use the technique of planting demons to harm the winner in front of the Dafu hall?"

Tomorrow, the million words will be updated. After writing the little plot of the prince, I will fill in the chapter of the bye
