Golden Greenery

Chapter 045 The Story of Everlasting Valley

The little queen Zhou Yingluo is a very contradictory woman.

From the time she left in anger until many years later, whenever she mentioned her husband Li Yu, she would gnash her teeth with hatred. But as much as she hates, so does her love. While she hates, she also reveals her deep longing for Li Yu, which makes her current man, Yang Yi, quite speechless.

One year before Yang Yi killed Zhao Kuangyin, the Song army broke through Jinling, and the Southern Tang Dynasty was destroyed in the 38th year of its founding. In fact, four years before this, Emperor Li Yu of the Southern Tang Dynasty surrendered to Zhao Kuangyin, canceled his country's title, assumed his emperor's title, and only called himself the Lord of the country. The Southern Tang Dynasty and Li Yu bowed their heads to the Song Dynasty and Zhao Kuangyin.

It stands to reason that such a well-behaved Southern Tang no longer needs any more conquests, but Zhao Kuangyin still used the excuse of "protecting the rebels" and sent 100,000 Song troops to invade the Southern Tang. The leader of the country had already shown weakness, and the Southern Tang army naturally lost their courage.

In March, the Song Dynasty raised troops, in October the most elite 150,000 navy troops in the Southern Tang Dynasty were completely wiped out, and in November Li Yu surrendered.

Li Yu and Zhou Yingluo were captured and brought to Bianliang. Li Yu was awarded the title of Marquis of Disobedience and General of the Right Qianniu Guard, and became a wealthy man in the capital of the Song Dynasty.

Zhou Yingluo, the Empress of the Xiao Zhou Dynasty, and Huarui, the concubine of the Empress of Shu Hui, were the two most famous beauties of this era.

The imperial concubine's surname is Fei, and Mrs. Huarui is her nickname. Mrs. Fei liked flowers, especially hibiscus. Emperor Meng Chang of Shu ordered people to plant hibiscus all over the capital, Chengdu, which gave Chengdu the nickname "Rongcheng".

Ten years before Yang Yi killed Zhao Kuangyin, the Song army took two years to break through Chengdu in Shu, and later Shu fell. Jianmen Pass is a majestic pass that has been extremely difficult to break through in history, and no one can even really break it. However, Jianmen Pass has never stopped the conquerors from conquering Shu.

Emperor Meng Chang of Shu and his wife Huarui were captured and brought to Bianliang, Tokyo. Meng Chang was awarded the title of Grand Master of the School and the Secretary of the Central Committee, and was granted the title of Duke of Qin. However, only seven days after arriving in Bianliang, Meng Chang died mysteriously. After that, Zhao Kuangyin often announced that Mrs. Huarui would enter the palace.

Later, Mrs. Huarui was simply kept in the palace by Zhao Kuangyin to bear the rain and dew.

There were two stunning beauties in this era, Mrs. Hua Rui, who was born as a geisha, was famous for her beauty, while Zhou Yingluo, the queen of the Zhou Dynasty, was famous for her softness. Nine years after Mrs. Huarui was favored by Zhao Kuangyin, the younger Zhou Yingluo also followed Li Yu to Bianliang.

That day, the story goes like this.

Emperor Zhao Kuangyin ordered Zhou Yingluo to enter the palace to burn incense and paint in the name of Queen Song. As for what will happen that night after entering the palace, everyone knows it well.

Zhou Yingluo did not want to be humiliated, and begged her husband Li Yu to find a way to protect her, but Li Yu was unable to do anything. He was a king who had subjugated his country, and his life was worse than that of a dog.

The couple hugged each other and cried.

Later, Li Yu actually knelt down to Zhou Yingluo and begged her to enter the palace quickly to avoid delaying the time and causing death.

Zhou Yingluo was completely desperate. She hated Li Yu's cowardice until her heart dropped. After grinding her silver teeth to pieces, Zhou Yingluo was already determined to die when she entered the palace. She hid the highly poisonous medicine Luo Yansha in her dirty clothes.

The King of Poisons, Hedinghong, is Luoyansha after being treated as colorless and odorless. Its appearance is the same as that of clear water, and it is impossible to distinguish between a silver needle and a silver pot. However, its toxicity is stronger and more mellow than Hedinghong. Just a few drops will suffice. Kill a strong man.

Zhou Yingluo wanted to die together with Zhao Kuangyin, in order to show her fidelity in refusing to be humiliated, and to accuse her husband Li Yu of being weak.

In the Funing Hall, Zhao Kuangyin, Mrs. Zhao Huarui, and Zhou Yingluo had a drink with Jin Wang Zhao Guangyi. Zhou Yingluo endured Zhao Kuangyin's frivolity and took the opportunity to pour two drops of falling goose sand into his silver pot.

She only had two drops and spilled the rest on her clothes in panic.

Two drops were not enough to kill Zhao Kuangyin, a great martial artist, and Zhou Yingluo knew this.

Zhou Yingluo couldn't help but burst into tears when she thought about how miserable she would be and how humiliated she would be after the incident. Although he has a death wish, who really wants to die? Not to mention knowing that he would suffer inhuman humiliation before dying.

The pear blossoms and the rain were touching, but Zhou Yingluo's crying aroused Zhao Kuangyin's lust, and he was about to commit adultery in Funing Hall on the spot.

Waving his sleeves to tell Zhao Guangyi to retreat, Yang Yi pushed open the palace door with his Emei ax.

Two drops of wild goose sand were not enough to kill Zhao Kuangyin, but they were enough to greatly weaken his martial arts. After the poison was applied, Yang Yi needed nineteen moves to cut off Zhao Kuangyin's head.

Then Mrs. Huarui was shot to death by Zhao Guangyi with an arrow, and Zhou Yingluo was rescued by Yang Yi, and they went to the Valley of Immortality in Dali together.

.

Yang Yi is a hero, and Zhou Yingluo loves him, but he is a hero who only knows martial arts.

Zhou Yingluo is a charming woman, but she is also one of the most talented women in the world. She is proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and her level is extremely high.

The two stayed together as husband and wife in the fairyland-like Eternal Spring Valley, singing along with the harp and harp, but their interests were completely different.

Zhou Yingluo taught Yang Yiqin chess, calligraphy and painting, and he also wanted to learn, but he was the stupidest person she had ever seen, the kind of stupid person who could make the teacher angry to death.

Sheep Yiji Zhou Yingluo practices martial arts, but although Yingluo has a strong temperament and impulsive personality, she is still a weak woman with no strength to restrain a chicken. She has to torture her muscles and bones all day long, and she can feel very inconsistent without having to imagine the scene.

As a result, the only common hobby between the two people was the music of the piano and the piano at night.

Zhou Yingluo's real husband Li Yu is the most talented emperor among ancient and modern emperors, so even if Yang Yi is a hero, how can she not miss Li Yu?

In this way, Zhou Yingluo was entangled in the Valley of Youth in extreme contradictions. During the day, she missed Li Yu painfully, and at night she was deeply in love with the sheep.

They lived a happy and lonely life, but fortunately, in the second year after arriving in the Valley of Youth, Yang Yi accepted his second apprentice, and this young man immediately became their joint apprentice.

Four hundred years ago, Yuan Tiangang accidentally discovered this fairyland valley while traveling around the world. After being full of praise, he used his sword to carve the five characters "Eternal Changchun Valley" on the cliff in the valley. At that time, there was no one in the valley.

Four hundred years later, there are many families in the valley and even a small market. It's just that the valley is very big, and people live far away from each other. In the early morning, you can hear the faint sounds of chickens and dogs.

Except for some Miao people in the mountains, most of the residents in the valley are talented strangers like Yang Yi who came here to live in seclusion. Like Yang Yi and Zhou Yingluo, they are all people with stories.

Li Xiaoyao is also a person with a story.

Twenty-year-old Li Xiaoyao was born in Yuhang. His father Li Sansi was once a well-known martial artist and swordsman in Yuhang area. The swordsmanship of both father and son comes from a fragment of the "Jiu Sword Immortal Sword Manual" written by Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty.

His father Li Sansi and his mother walked the rivers and lakes with swords and died in the war, leaving only the young Li Xiaoyao and his grandmother to make a living by running an inn in a small fishing village in Yuhang. When Li Xiaoyao was very young, he would stay in the inn during the day. Working as a waiter in a shop, practicing swordsmanship under the moonlight at night.

A few years ago, young Li Xiaoyao met Zhao Ling'er at Shuiyue Temple on Xianling Island off the coast of Yuhang. The two fell in love at first sight and became a loving couple.

However, the good times did not last long. The life experience of his wife Zhao Ling'er was very mysterious. She was involved in the ritual dispute between the White Temple and the Black Miao Temple in Miao territory. Before Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Ling'er's honeymoon ended, Zhao Ling'er was captured by the black Miao elder who suddenly appeared and was taken back to Miao territory.

In order to find his beloved wife, Li Xiaoyao followed her all the way to Miao territory with a sword, but in the end he was unable to save Zhao Ling'er in time due to his poor martial arts skills. When he reached the altar with wounds all over his body, his wife had already passed away.

Lin Yueru, his confidante who accompanied him all the way to Miao territory, also died in Miao land due to severe injuries and the poisonous miasma from Miao territory invading his body.

Li Xiaoyao, who had a broken heart, wanted to live out his remaining life by entering Buddhism in Dali. However, under the persuasion and introduction of the white Miao girl Anu, he came to the Valley of Youth. There is actually no difference between entering Buddhism and entering the Valley of Empty. Where in life is it not a practice?

Yang Yi continued to practice martial arts in the Valley of Immortals, and Li Xiaoyao was deeply impressed by his superb martial arts. The years in the valley were long, and Yang Yi, who had nothing to do, accepted Li Xiaoyao as his apprentice.

However, what made Yang Yi very speechless was that he originally thought that Wu Daniu, also known as Li Cunxiao, was already an extremely rare martial arts wizard, but he did not expect that Li Xiaoyao was even better than Wu Daniu in this aspect.

Draw inferences from one instance and draw inferences by analogy. Li Xiaoyao's martial arts was mediocre before, but he just didn't meet an expert to teach him. After only three months of being a master, Yang Yi felt that maybe in three years, he might have to turn to Li Xiaoyao as his master.

However, that's not all.

Li Xiaoyao is from Yuhang and Zhou Yingluo is from Jiangning. They are only four hundred miles apart and both belonged to the Southern Tang Dynasty a few years ago. For Zhou Yingluo, Li Xiaoyao is not only her former people, but also a long-lost local accent.

Zhou Yingluo taught Li Xiaoyao everything she could about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting that Yang Yi had never learned. Li Xiaoyao, who was talented, intelligent and had a good-natured personality, learned the true story of the couple.

Every morning, Li Xiaoyao kowtows to Master Yang Yi and practices martial arts with him in the morning. In the afternoon, I kowtowed to my master's wife more respectfully and studied piano, chess, calligraphy and painting with her.

Seven years have passed like this, and Li Xiaoyao has achieved great success in both civil and military arts.

Seven years later, Yang Yi left the Immortal Changchun Valley because he heard from the monks in Dali that there was a vast land to the west of the Far West, and Yang Yi wanted to see it.

Seven years later, Li Xiaoyao also followed his master Yangyi out of the Valley of Immortality. He wanted to go to Shushan.

Seven years later, Zhou Yingluo stayed in the Evergreen Valley. She did not age, but she died. After a Miao folk song, she committed suicide and stayed in the Valley of Immortality forever.
