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

Naturally, Lu Jing had heard of Pingping Township. As early as the last time he was imprisoned in the Jingyin Mansion, the Toutuo in front of him had already revealed his identity.

He had also heard rumors that the abandoned disciples of the Great Leiyin Temple forcibly used Zen sticks to divide a piece of land in the original Fufeng country and build a country within a country.

And these years, Pingping Township has been moving around, and I don't know what they are planning. Many heroes in the world have entered Pingping Township, and they have become kings and generals in it since then.

When Anhuai State fell, Pingping Township also went to recruit Zhong Yubai, but at that time An Huai knew that he was ordered to kill Junfu with his father, and he was disheartened. He also knew that entering Pingping Township would inevitably lead to many disputes, so he came here Tae Hyun Kyung.

When Zhong Yubai came to Dafu, there was even the Heavenly King of Pingping Township in the cloud to see him off in person.

What Lu Jing didn't expect was that now he was not a prisoner, but a Dafu law enforcement officer. Although he had no official status, the soul in his real palace was surrounded by the thunder of law.

Needless to say, the purpose of the Toutuo from Pingping Township came to see him, probably as if he was in prison, to attract him.

Lu Jing remained calm and asked, "I don't know your name?"

That Toutuo grinned, and said: "I am a monk, and I have long given up my name. Mr. Lu Jing called me Qingshan Toutuo."

"Qingshan Toutuo?" Lu Jing nodded and asked, "Since Toutuo is a monk, it is said that monks pay attention to the emptiness of the five aggregates. This Pingping Township is not a temple, and the other is not a place for practicing Zen. Toutuo even ran around because of this. It makes Lu Jing a little strange."

Hearing Lu Jing's question, Qingshan Toutuo looked into Lu Jing's eyes and said, "Sir, monks see that the five aggregates are empty, and think that although forms, feelings, thoughts, formations, and consciousness exist, they are volatile and will eventually disappear.

However, this does not mean that monks have no desires. "

A strange look flashed in Lu Jing's eyes, and he nodded, "That's true. If you don't have desires, why bother worshiping Buddha?"

There was a smile on Qingshan Toutuo's thin face, and said: "There is a cloud in the Huayan Sutra, the Buddha said that all living beings are equal, and all living beings on the earth have the wisdom and virtue of the Tathagata, which is no different from the Buddha, but it cannot be realized because of delusions.

It's just that what Zen practitioners seek is not in the reality of this life, but in the blessings of the next life, or in the eternal bliss. "

Lu Jing listened quietly, Qingshan Toutuo continued: "In this mortal world, the high-ranking people are extravagant, hold great power, food rots in the barn, gold and silver are countless.

However, ordinary people in the world have to suffer all kinds of oppression. The world is vast, and people in the government and opposition parties of various countries can't see it, or they don't want to see the darkness under every inch of land. They don't care that there are corrupt officials oppressing the people in the world. Even with the chaos caused by demons, coupled with successive years of disasters, the people in many countries and places can no longer survive.

The reason why a monk like me wants to travel the world and be born in Pingping Township is to accumulate merit for myself and to get back what is due to the people of the world.

With this merit, we don't have to become lonely ghosts after death, but can be reborn in bliss, or become a Buddha-seat bhikkhu. "

When Qingshan Toutuo said this, he tore off another large piece of chicken, took a few bites, and said, "Mr. Lu Jing, the reason why I came to look for you is because you punished the prince of Qi, because you killed That Xu Baiyan.

Since you have a heart for the people in your heart, your ideas should be the same as mine! "

Lu Jing lowered his hands, with inquiry in his eyes: "I don't know what the idea of ​​Pingxiang is?"

Qingshan Toutuo's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "Our philosophy of equaling the village is that people have no self-interested property, have land to cultivate together, have clothes to wear together, have money to work together, and everyone in the world can practice!

Sir, this is the plan of Pingping Township established by General Butian. The people of the world have suffered for too long. Up to now, most of them can't live to be forty-five years old. The world is not fair. The two heavenly kings, the twelve generals, and the general who has the ambition to save the sky, ignited a fire of equality. "

"Fire of Equality?" Lu Jing frowned after listening to Qingshan Tutuo's words.

A group of dragons without a leader and everyone like a dragon is a sign of great auspiciousness.

But how easy is it to ignite the fire of equality in the world?

Everyone has selfish desires. If there are no selfish desires, people are not human. If there are selfish desires, how can the world be equal?

From another perspective, although it is difficult to ignite the fire of equality, it is actually possible, but how to maintain it after that?

In this process, I am afraid that it will cause people to suffer, and who will suffer then?

Lu Jing pondered in his heart. If he was just a young man, if he was a member of this era, he might not have thought too much.

But...he still has memories of the past, and there are similar eras in that memory, and many experiences lie here.

Qingshan Toutuo watched Lu Jing's expression. Seeing that Lu Jing was deep in thought, he poured another glass of wine for Lu Jing.

"I know that Mister has passion in his heart, otherwise he would not be able to comprehend Mr. Si's sword spirit in the world. Mr. Si is not used to this world. At that time, he was still holding a sword in the library. He once killed the dignitaries of the Capital Protector's Mansion. He also went to court with his sword and questioned Yu People... attracted the water from Yingwu Island, and carried the disaster in the middle of the river that should have come long ago.

But he died after all, and now Mr. Lu Jing has become the successor of Mr. Si. In fact, I, Pingxiang, really want to know how Mr. Wang views the world in his heart, and how does he see my philosophy of the Great General Butian? "

Qingshan Toutuo looked directly at Lu Jing, hoping to get an answer from Lu Jing.

Lu Jing took a sip of his wine and said, "Where can there be pure equality in this world? If you look too far ahead, you will inevitably end up on a fork in the middle of the journey.

Instead, let's set the goal closer first. "

At this point in Lu Jing's words, he lowered his head to look at the Wind Husking Knife and Rain Calling Sword on his waist.

The power of heaven and earth is hidden in the two treasures of calling the wind and calling the rain.

Today's cultivation is definitely not weak, but it is also powerless to change the world, but... Lu Jing is still young!

He always remembered in his heart the barren land that he once set foot on Su Houcang's chariot from the Great Pillar Kingdom.

He saw the bones in it, and also saw the desolation in it.

There used to be the homeland of countless people, but now it is deserted, and the disaster is still spreading.

"Let's cultivate yourself first, and if you have enough strength, you can try to calm the world. Now I am in charge of calling the wind and rain. I only need to grasp the power of heaven and earth in it, and I can really call the wind and rain. At that time, I can do something within my power."

Lu Jing thought so in his heart.

Qingshan Toutuo obviously disagreed with Lu Jing's words, and he had great trust in the tall general who seemed to have the world in his eyes.

With the general here, Pingping Township... will not go astray.

But he didn't refute Lu Jing, instead he asked with a smile: "Mr. said these words to me today, Toutuo also understands that Mr. has a goal within his heart.

But I heard that Mr. is only seventeen or eighteen years old, but he has a kind and compassionate heart. For someone who grew up in Taixuanjing, this makes me quite curious. "

Lu Jing didn't hide anything, and said frankly: "Since I have come to this world once, and I have seen some different scenes, I happen to be able to do it within my power, so it doesn't matter if I do it."

Toutuo didn't know what Lu Jing saw, but he didn't ask any more questions.

"Actually, sir and I have a certain relationship with Pingping Township. I came to see you today just to convey the idea of ​​Pingping Township to you. Mister, you might as well take a look at what is buried under the prosperity of Taixuanjing.

One day you see it through thoroughly, or one day you have enough strength to avoid countless pairs of eyes looking at you, walk out of Taixuanjing, and see the chaotic world, maybe my husband and I can become colleagues. "

There was a hint of excitement in Lu Jing's eyes. It wasn't about Pingping Township, but about getting out of Taixuanjing and watching the world.

Although Lu Jing has been in a bustling place these days, Lu Jing has also seen a hidden corner under the bustling.

——Qingyue came to Beijing because of fleeing famine, her mother was dying and had no money for medical treatment, so Qingyue entered the Lu residence.

In the past shantangs, those children, these children, at best, were selected by the Huai Gang and died since then, at worst they were poisoned and demented, and became puppet slaves without their own thoughts, and at worst they were crippled beggars , The water ghost who died for him.

Because of the two horses, Wei Jingzhe would have been killed if there was no Lu Jing.

There are also Xu Wugui's parents who died on the way to escape from famine, and the woman who died of freezing and starving behind the tree in the alley!

There are also those girls who are very likely to have died in the Hengshan Mansion.

...

This Taixuanjing itself was full of ordinary people. Lu Jing stepped on the ladder of status to become stronger, but it didn't mean that his light-supporting sword aura came from fantasy.

However, the world is vast, and Lu Jing still doesn't want to spend his whole life in Taixuanjing.

"When I break through the Realm of Illuminating Stars, I can go all the way north, to Chong'an Sanzhou, to see the mortal world all the way, to hone my mind and practice, and I can also visit Wangfei and Qixiang."

"And... there are many heroes there, it would be even better if we could meet the world's martial arts leader."

Lu Jing's heart was agitated, and he reacted immediately, and asked, "Toutuo, I don't know what is my relationship with Pingping Township?"

Qingshan Tutuo had stood up at this time, and saluted Lu Jing with clasped palms. He showed a smile on his face and did not answer Lu Jing's words. .

Mr. Lu Jing, Toutuo wants to make a fortune with you, this meal of wine and meat..."

Lu Jing froze for a moment, but Qingshan Toutuo had already walked out the door.

"The world is chaotic, and the monks are also quite strange, such as the Buddhist disciples of the Landa Temple who do not observe the precept of killing, and the Toutuo who are allowed to drink and eat meat, but are not allowed to pay for themselves."

Lu Jing didn't care about it, he just smiled at the back of that Tutuo: "Being a monk for alms, how can there be any reason to turn wine and meat?

I'll invite you for this meal of wine and meat, and I'm only counting you as a favor. "

Qingshan Toutuo was walking fast, but when he heard Lu Jing's words, he stopped on his feet. He stood there as if hesitating, and then left after a few breaths.

——

The waning moon in spring is extraordinarily bright, and the moonlight shining down fills the courtyard of the Eastern Palace.

The microwave in the pool reflects the bright moonlight.

And under the moonlight, beside the pool, there is a table case, a lamp is lit in front of the table case, and a woman is reading with her head down.

Naturally, there is no shortage of luminous pearls in the East Palace, but this woman only lit an ordinary lamp.

Under the light of the fire, her complexion was crystal clear like jade, and she had an elegant demeanor. From the looks of others, this woman was really more beautiful than the one walking down from the painting.

To put it bluntly... how can a person who is able to marry the prince and whose background is far from being considered a top-notch person be ordinary?

Reading in the face of night storms is the daily pastime of the princess.

Most of the time in Taixuan Palace is boring and boring. There are some poetry gatherings on weekdays, dancing some pen and ink, or discussing what you have gained from cultivation, and there is nothing to do.

The concubine from the Lu family in Jiuhu likes reading against the wind the most, saying that it can make her mind lighter.

And the book in her hand that night was just ordinary miscellaneous notes, not a book of profound knowledge.

But the princess was surprisingly serious, as if she had seen something from the classics.

After a long time, she closed the book in her hand and said to herself: "Lu Jing... If you can accept the idea of ​​General Butian, if you can enter our Ping Township..."

"It seems that I want to see him."

The concubine thought so in her heart, but Yu Zhuoxian walked out of the distant palace and came to her.

"The weather is still cold now, even if there is a four-season tree planted here, it will still be cold when the spring breeze passes occasionally, so don't catch the cold."

Yu Zhuoxian even brought a cloak himself and put it on for the crown princess.

The Crown Princess turned her head and smiled gently at Yuzhuoxian.

"Your Highness, the Seventh Prince will open his residence tomorrow, do you want to have a banquet?"

The aura on the prince's body has become more and more violent these days, and there seems to be thunder brewing in the opening and closing of the eyes, and the strong aura is suppressed on him, as if it will erupt at any time and turn into a killing storm.

Yu Zhuoxian said: "Since he handed over the invitation card, I will naturally go to hell, there is already a banquet in the palace on the day of the opening of the mansion.

The Seventh Emperor still invites me in the mansion, which can be called his own measure.

In fact, apart from me, the Seventh Prince has invited all the officials in the court, and he has invited all the dignitaries in the court, so it would be the best.

How can I not go? "

With a smile on his lips, Yu Zhuoxian said: "He is a tool to hone the prince's power, he competes with me, and even I was allocated a lot of cultivation resources.

He, like me, is looking for talented people everywhere. A few days ago, I found a pair of twins aged 16 or 17 on Northwest Road.

But they found that their talents were astonishing. The male was born with a round of Martial Dao Yang seeds in his body.

And the daughter was born ordinary, but inadvertently sensed the primordial spirit, and the primordial spirit turned out to be the appearance of a phoenix, even rarer than that man.

There are already strong men from Xuelong Manor escorting them into Xuandu, but they have been robbed and killed many times on the way..."

The crown princess frowned, and looked up at Yu Zhuoxian beside her.

The smile on the corner of Yu Zhuoxian's mouth grew stronger: "He killed many people under my command, but he never killed the twins."

"And as a counterattack, the Qimuchang in Tiannan has also fallen into the hands of Lord Qinglong."

Yu Zhuoxian never said much.

But the Crown Princess knew that Taixuanjing was calm and calm, and the Seventh Prince was still in the bamboo palace until tonight.

The prince practiced reading every day and was taught by others.

But under the calm, there are waves of whirlpools.

Thinking of this, the princess could not help but sigh.

"Northern Qin is pressing hard every step of the way, and there are many difficulties in the country, but I don't know why the Seventh Prince..."

When the princess said this, she felt that she had slipped her words, and quickly stopped talking.

Yu Zhuoxian took a deep look at the princess, but he didn't know whether the words of the pillow person who had been with him for a long time in front of him were really unintentional or intentional.

He also didn't explain, in fact, sometimes, even Yu Zhuoxian would have doubts in his heart.

But whenever he thinks of the figure sitting on the emperor's throne in Taixuan Palace and his past achievements, Yu Zhuoxian always feels...all these have deep meanings.

"The Seventh Emperor also invited Lu Jing, but I haven't seen Lu Jing for a long time."

Yu Zhuoxian stopped talking about the matter just now, and smiled at the princess: "Lu Jing is your younger brother, you can meet him and talk to him when you have time.

Lu Jing is quite an interesting person, and his actions and words live up to his status as a scholar, especially his three thousand words, which are widely popular in the Imperial College and several other academies.

It is quite surprising that many common people already know Lu Jing's point of view. "

Yu Zhuoxian couldn't help turning his head to look in the direction of Taixian Hall after he finished speaking.

Speaking of Lu Jing, the princess nodded slightly.

"In Jiuhu Lu's family, the only person I'm willing to talk to is Lu Jing.

He and I... are actually pretty much the same. "

Surprisingly, tenderness flashed across Yu Zhuoxian's eyes. He gently touched the princess's long hair and said, "The method of longevity has been passed down for a long time. I don't know how many people have practiced it, but only Lu Shenyuan has mastered it." up the climate.

It's just... If you want to live forever, you have to pay a price. "

"I don't know which one is stronger or weaker based on my Bodhisattva method of killing life and seeing his longevity method?"

Yu Zhuoxian said so, and then smiled freely: "I just don't know what kind of method this longevity method is?"

——

On the 20th day of the first lunar month, there was a big event in Taixuanjing. Fireworks were set off during the day, and there was also the sound of firecrackers.

The common people gathered at the end of Qingyun Street, beaming with joy.

A mansion has been built there, with a splendid style but not overstepping the rules. Many servants of the mansion have already brought out a lot of coins and a lot of food at the gate, and distributed them to the people who came to congratulate them.

Qingyun Street, which is rarely visited by ordinary people on weekdays, is actually overcrowded. If there are no officers and soldiers to clear it, accidents may happen.

The people who came early really won a lot of money.

The one who came late also took a look at the majestic official mansion on Qingyun Street.

Logically speaking, after the prince opened his teeth and built a mansion, most of them lived in clusters of houses built abroad. A vast open space at the end of Qilin Street was full of prince's mansions. These equally luxurious mansions were called Yan Yan. House.

But the Seventh Prince is different, his mansion is actually on Qingyun Street, which is enough to prove that the Seventh Prince, who has been thinking about it for nine years, is indeed favored by the Holy King.

At noon today, there is an opening banquet in Taixuan Palace, and only those who can attend the court meeting every day on weekdays are eligible to participate.

And in the evening, the Seventh Prince hosted a banquet for all the court officials.

This is not a ritual system, but because of the special season, it will not lead to the impeachment of the officials, nor will it be subject to speculation by the ministers of the DPRK and China.

Such a major event is naturally known throughout the city.

In the garden of Nanguo Gongfu.

Nan Fengmian stood in the courtyard with the Xinggu real person on his waist, while streams of fresh wind blew around him, the breeze was like a knife, and even cut off the wind itself.

Lu Jing stood not far away, with a flash of admiration in his eyes.

Nan Fengmian is worthy of being a swordsman who traveled the world but returned safely.

A saber intent diffuses, and it can easily cut off the vitality in the void.

"Your Spring Thunder Saber Intent is already extraordinary, but sometimes it is used to deal with the enemy. Once the Spring Thunder Saber Intent is released, the spring thunder qi and blood in the whole body will burst out, and it is inevitable that the qi and blood will be difficult to sustain."

Nan Fengmian stood in the midst of heavy swords, and said to Lu Jing, "I know that your primordial spirit is better, but the talent of qi and blood is also not weak. Since you can practice the primordial spirit and martial arts, you don't need to waste it.

Qi and blood together, it is quite suitable to use a knife, open and close, it is as heavy as Mount Tai, and the infusion of Qi and blood is like a river and sea, it is also suitable for you. "

Lu Jing was taught humbly, and said: "In addition to the spring thunder sword, I actually also know a sword technique for climbing Tianshan. I got it from the Xuexue knife, and I can occasionally deal with the enemy."

When Lu Jing spoke, he pulled out the black wind exhaling knife with a slender back at his waist.

He shook his long sword, and strands of energy and blood flowed out of his fragile snow mountain and sun, and fell into it.

Lu Jing slashed at random.

Just like when a general climbs Tianshan Mountain, the energy and blood in it is better than one step, and the sharpness is very sharp.

But when Nan Fengmian's saber intent blew past like a breeze, the Qi and blood for climbing Tianshan was shattered by Nan Fengmian's saber intent.

Nan Fengmian hadn't spoken yet, but Nan Xuehu couldn't help but sighed when he heard Lu Jing's words.

In his Snow Drinking Knife, there is still such a set of knife skills hidden?

I have held the drinking snow knife for several years, why haven't I discovered it?

Lu Jing was injured, and the slash just now was not full of energy and blood, but the slash he made at random was already very extraordinary in Nan Xuehu's eyes.

Nan Fengmian lowered his head and pondered for a while, then suddenly shook his head and said: "You really made this knife just now, which made me enlightened.

Now that your primordial spirit is stronger, you naturally use the Rain Calling Sword to fight against strong enemies on weekdays. If someone gets close, you will draw the sword out of its sheath to protect yourself.

That being the case, in fact, there is no need to practice any messy sword techniques. You only need to practice a sword drawing technique, coupled with the spring thunder sword intent, to cut down with all your energy and blood when someone comes close.

It would be best if he could kill someone.

If the enemy cannot be killed, it can also be forced to retreat.

As long as he recedes, Yuanshen's supernatural powers will be able to keep up. "

With Nan Fengmian's suggestion, Lu Jing couldn't help but nod.

"Speaking of sword drawing skills, I know that the leader of the sword art in the past, that domineering general had a world-class sword drawing skill, but it has long been lost."

Nan Fengmian seemed to feel that it was a pity, and shook his head: "If you want to ask about the sword-drawing technique, you can ask Mr. Jiu. Mr. Jiu's sword skills are extremely strong, and the sword is the strongest. If you can get one or two of his true , it is enough to defend against the enemy.”

The two exchanged their practice gains for a while, and then strolled in the Nanguo mansion again.

After walking for a while, Nan Fengmian probably remembered something, and rubbed Lu Jing with his shoulder: "I have a piece of good news to share with you."

"Good news?" Lu Jing asked.

Nan Fengmian said to Lu Jing mysteriously: "The news of the Seventh Prince's opening of the mansion has been very popular these days, you may not have heard of it.

It is said that in the past seven or eight days, your young and aggressive father has taken seven or eight concubines, which is really strange. "

Lu Jing's expression became a little strange: "Did Lu Shenyuan take a concubine?"

In the past few days, Ning Qiang and Lu Yi followed Lin Rendong to a mountain villa outside Taixuanjing to soak in the hot springs and enjoy the scenery of early spring. That mountain villa belonged to Lin Rendong's father, so naturally Lin Rendong was the host.

Lin Rendong originally invited Lu Jing and Qing Yue to go.

It's just that Lu Jing still has things to do with Huaishi Palace, Book Building, and Shantang, and Qingyue doesn't intend to delay Mr. Eleven's schoolwork, so they didn't go together.

"In just seven or eight days, you took seven or eight concubines?

According to Mrs. Zhong's personality, wouldn't she be so angry that she couldn't get out of bed? "

Lu Jing speculated in his heart: "However, it is said that Lu Shenyuan has not been good at women in recent years. Why did he suddenly think of taking so many concubines?"

"It's a good thing you left the Lu residence, otherwise there would be too many turmoil in the residence, I'm afraid even you would not be able to practice with peace of mind."

As Nan Fengmian said this, his tone changed immediately, and he said: "There is one more thing, you told me last time, pay attention to the Hengshan Mansion.

Just as you said, even though you were seriously injured, that evil prince was still restless, and sent people out of the mansion last night to do...sneaky things. "

Nan Fengmian's voice was cold: "The heads of those servants have already been chopped off by me.

The prince of Qi has already raised a big demon in his heart, but in fact he is no longer a human being. "

"In his eyes, people are just like two-legged sheep."

The easter egg map for temperature measurement was sent out just now, some readers should have seen it, but I deleted it in a few minutes, convinced
