Golden Age Of Phoenix: Tyrant’s First Class Virtuous Imperial Concubine

Was born here?

Zhu Feng was shocked, but his face was still very calm. He turned his head and glanced at the tombstones standing silently in the night outside the door, and asked: "Your ancestors are—"

The old man Wen Liyu gave a wry smile and said, "Yes."

"..."

"Our ancestors have already come here."

"..."

"What the Emperor saw is the ancestral graves of our ancestors for generations. Everyone has never left here. Even if some have left, they will eventually return here and die here."

"..."

"Our Wen family can only be here."

This sounded heavy, but it was a bit weird.

Ye Yu said in a puzzled manner: "Why do you stay here? Is anyone forcing you?"

Then Old Wen smiled bitterly and said, "Speaking of it, it's an ancestor's matter how many generations ago."

"Oh? You said."

"Speaking of that time, Yumen Pass didn't want to be now, and it was deserted. At that time, it was the road from the Central Plains to the Western Regions that was completely opened. Envoys and merchants were constantly coming and going. Yumen Pass was the most important pass on this westward road. "

Ye Yin glanced at Zhu Feng, and Zhu Feng raised his eyebrows slightly.

In this way, the "ancestors" mentioned by Old Wen may have been the ancestors of Emperor Wu's reign thousands of years ago.

However, they did not interrupt his words, just listened quietly.

Old Wen said: "My ancestor of the Wen family served on this pass."

"..."

"Although there is an endless stream of merchants and messengers here, the ancestors were very thoughtful, but began to practice the Taoism, seeking spiritual liberation."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Feng sighed softly in his heart.

A person who can calm down in such a prosperous place and devote himself to cultivating Taoism shows that this person has roots in the law.

Ye Xu asked immediately: "Then how well does he cultivate?"

Old Wen shook his head and said, "These are all old people who listened to my grandfather and they talked about it, but in the final analysis, it is already too long. No one knows how far he has practiced. Only one day, This Yumen Pass suddenly came to an old Taoist priest."

The cultivator met an old Taoist priest.

It sounds interesting.

Ye Xu asked immediately: "What about then?"

Old Wen said: "That Taoist... is said to be a Taoist fairy wind, he is very good at first sight, he came to Yumenguan, and made a bet with his ancestors."

"What are you betting on?"

"We don't know what to bet, but my grandfather said that it may not be a bet, but a fight between two people. No one knows the specific situation, we only know that the ancestor lost."

Ye Wei said "Uh".

He asked: "What is the result of losing?"

"result?"

These two words made Old Wen smile bitterly and said: "The result is that the Wen family has to stay at Yumen Pass for generations and cannot leave."

"...!"

Ye Yi's eyes widened suddenly.

It turns out that this is why their ancestors stayed in Yumen Pass for generations, staying in this deserted city?

He frowned and said with a faint smile, "You..., really stayed?"

Old Wen smiled bitterly: "The ancestors cultivated the Tao, naturally taut the spirit, will not go back. But soon after he was willing to bet and was ready to stay in Yumen Pass, the situation in the Central Plains changed."

"..."

"The civil war in the middle of the country affected foreign relations. Soon, the gate to the northwest was closed, and the number of merchants gradually disappeared. There was no longer a scene of busy traffic on the Silk Road. Soon after, the Central Plains court sent troops to the northwest. Ma all withdrew to the middle school."

Having said this, he sighed: "Yumen Pass, it has fallen."

When everyone heard this, they all sighed.

But Zhu Feng's expression became more solemn.

If it is someone else, he should only listen to a story, but he understands in his heart that a country needs to be strong in foreign relations and must ensure the stability of the domestic situation; if the domestic situation is unstable and civil wars continue, then only foreign policy can be done. Tighten, even show weakness.

In the early days of the Yan Kingdom’s founding, Emperor Gao completely closed off his westward journey, which was due to his personality, but was it not because of years of war and chaos that the country had no energy to develop the northwest?

This is a wise move and a helpless move.

He took a deep breath.

Then he said in a deep tone, "Yumen Pass has fallen, and your ancestors are still here?"

Mr. Wen said: "The ancestors promised a daughter."

"Could it be that the old way really kept him here for generations to come, without a time limit?"

"..."

"If so, it won't be fair to you."

Old Wen's eyes were red, and he said, "It's not that there is no time limit."

He turned his head and looked at the deep night outside the door, and in the distance, where Zhu Feng left behind, there was a faint fire. He said: "When your Majesty came here, he must have seen the words on the stone tablet. Right."

"...!"

Zhu Feng's expression was awe-inspiring.

It depends on the jade, but hidden by the smoke;

When you encounter the emperor, you will release, and when you encounter the sea, you will be prosperous.

At this moment, he read the sixteen words on the stone tablet silently again in his heart, and suddenly understood what: "It depends on the jade!"

"Yes."

Old Wen smiled bitterly and said: "This is the first sentence left by the old Dao. At that time, there were a lot of merchants in Yumen Pass, but this was not the most here. The most frequented team was the team from the middle school who went to Hetian to mine jade. ."

Zhu Feng's eyes lit up.

But he was still quiet, without saying a word, just listening in silence.

Old Wen said: "The old way and the ancestors agreed to see the jade, as long as one day we can't see the jade, we can go."

Ye Xun said immediately, "Yumen Pass has fallen, so naturally the teams that transport jade stones will no longer come."

"Yes."

"Then, can't you leave now?"

Old Wen gave a wry smile and said, "It depends on the jade."

"..."

"This lord, Yumen Pass... isn't there'Jade'?"

"...!"

Ye Xu was taken aback for a moment, and was shocked.

Indeed, even though the jade is gone, the Yumen Pass is still there.

The "Jade" at Yumen Pass is also jade.

It's just such a jade character, it won't be changed for thousands of years, it will bind them here firmly!

Ye Yu was greatly amazed, and then he thought about it, and said, "That old Taoist priest, did he plan that way from the beginning, and deliberately attack you like this?"

Old Wen smiled bitterly, unable to speak.

Ye Yin gritted his teeth and said, "Those **** noses are not good things!"

Zhu Feng glanced at him.

He didn't say anything, but said to Old Wen: "Even so, your ancestors have promised a lot of money, but there are so many people for generations, no one wants to leave?"

Old Wen said: "Yes, why not?"

"Then what's the result?"

"result--"

Having said that, there was sadness and even some fear in his eyes.

"The result is that they all rarely end well."
