Great Blue Night Watchman

This is probably the embarrassment of facing Zhou Tianjing. Objectively speaking, Zhou Tianjing helped him a lot, but he had no way to repay Zhou Tianjing. In modern society, bosses pay attention to employees who work more and get more, but the wages Zhou Tianjing needs are not silver coins. , but the origin of the Moon Dao, he really couldn't get it out, so facing Zhou Tianjing's overtime work day and night, he was really embarrassed that he couldn't pay his wages.

However, he and Zhou Tianjing also have an excellent management model, which is: if you don't obey, you will be beaten!

Facing Zhou Tianjing's resentment, he felt it was necessary to set things straight, so his final tone changed, calling himself Lao Tzu, which was a sign of falling out.

As soon as the word "I" came out, the deterrence was still there. Zhou Tianjing didn't dare to release the evil spirit anymore, and honestly released the small lake he had been monitoring for several days and nights. The lake didn't look particularly big. Yueying stood there By the lake, staring at the lake in the pale moonlight, above the lake, there is a vast mist. About a hundred miles away, there is a city. On the side of the city, two high mountains confront each other, one of which is shaped like an eagle's beak.

Lin Su came out of the Zen room where he had been in seclusion for three days. It was unclear when it was misty and rainy outside.

It rained, and the weather had just gotten a little warmer, but I don't know when it returned to its original state.

Jinyan Temple looks particularly quiet in the rain and fog.

In several Zen rooms next to it, there are several scholars, all of whom are candidates. If nothing else, they are also candidates for the Jinke Palace Examination. At the last moment when the Palace Examination is approaching, they study at night in this suburb of Beijing. Cramming.

Yes, the imperial examination is coming soon!

Just two months later!

During this year's palace examination, he had already embarked on a journey to heaven and could not see the situation of the palace examination.

I don’t know how Qu Zhe, Cui Yanzhou, and Sun Linbu will fare in the Jinke Imperial Examination. Qu Zhe was among the top 1,000 candidates for Jinshi three years ago. It was only because Ji Shang didn’t want to choose, so he lost his name to Sun Shan. What about this time? As long as he gets into the top 1,000 this year, Ji Guang will obviously know how to order, and he is basically stable.

Cui Yanzhou and Sun Linbu are both from Huiyuan in their respective states, so they should be able to attend, but that's only in theory...

The world is turbulent, undercurrents are surging, demons are ready to move, alien races are ready to move, and the national destiny of various countries is also changing rapidly. A large number of talented people are walking out of their studies and joining the tide of scientific examinations. Once the carp jumps over the dragon's gate, they will become a great scholar of the generation. Only by becoming a great scholar can they survive in the fierce changes. Have a place.

This was the case last time, and it is the same this time.

This is probably the projection of the poem "Duck Prophet with Warm Water in the Spring River" on the literary arts. Among the literary arts, people with profound knowledge and keen observation can best feel the harbingers of the changes of the times. Therefore, they have all reacted...

Lin Su had a long-lost breakfast in the dining hall in front and stepped onto the flower path in the back.

The drizzle fell, and was quietly isolated by his literary style. Lin Su's elegant posture in the rain attracted several scholars who were reading in the morning on the corridor.

"Is the Jinyan restricted area behind this place? What's going on with this guy?" someone said.

"Wenqi has been able to isolate himself from the disturbance of rain and fog. It is obviously a way to prepare for the exam. Didn't anyone tell him the rules of Jinyan Temple?"

Anyone who borrows books from Jinyan Temple has been warned by the monks in the temple. It is okay to study in Jinyan Temple, but there are a few rules that must be followed. Firstly, you must not disturb the monks in the temple for their meditation; secondly, you must not act in a rude manner. Thirdly, you are not allowed to enter the forbidden area of ​​​​the back garden.

The monks did not say clearly what was in the forbidden area of ​​​​the back garden, but the news in the capital was still well-informed. Many people knew that there was a Buddhist outlier in the back garden, Princess Xingyue, Princess Xingyue, His Majesty's only princess today. She Although she has entered the mortal world, the method she practices is still the Buddhist method, so she still practices at Jinyan Temple most of the time.

Among the group of students talking, one person did not speak. His eyes were wide open and he stared blankly at the back.

"Brother Yao, what's wrong?" said a student in white clothes next to him.

Brother Yao was slightly startled and looked away from Lin Su's back. He blinked slightly and returned to normal: "No, nothing..."

"Brother Yao has been quite distracted recently. Is it that the closer we get to the scientific examination, the more stressed we become? In fact, Brother Yao really doesn't have to be like this. You are the son of the Prince of Zhenbei. You are completely different from me. We can't pass the scientific examination." There is no way to go, even if Brother Yao does not pass the scientific examination, he is still a prince, and he can still have beautiful clothes, fine food, beautiful women and beautiful family members at his fingertips. There is no need to squeeze this single-plank bridge with thousands of troops and horses like us. "

Before Brother Yao could answer, a young man in purple clothes on the other side of the corridor opened his folding fan and answered with a smile: "Brother Li, it is probably not convenient for Brother Qiliang to answer. The King of Zhenbei used force to make him king. Although After all, nobility owes three points to the foundation. Therefore, everyone in the Zhenbei Palace hopes that all the princes can be named on the gold list to enhance the prestige of the palace. It is a pity that Brother Qi Liang's literary foundation is still shallow. He forced the scientific examination and accompanied him to study in vain. Apart from exposing the shortcomings of Zhenbei Prince’s literary skills, what else is there to gain?”

As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence on the corridor.

The person who came was Zhu Wu, the son of King Lieyang.

The identity is exactly the same as that of Yao Qiliang whom he targeted.

They are all princes.

Therefore, when others are polite to Yao Qiliang, he does not need to be polite.

Everyone also knew the reason for his rudeness.

The reason is to ask for marriage.

Now that His Majesty has returned to the throne, the five princes of the ancient Nanyang Kingdom have been demoted to common people, but a new prince has also been born. King Zhu Lie of Lieyang is just such a prince who came into being.

Zhu Lie was also a man who was good at speculating. Seeing that the King of Zhenbei had gained a favor and had a lot of wealth from the Lin family's products, he was moved. So he sent someone to propose marriage to the King of Zhenbei, hoping that his third son Zhu Wu would marry him. Hongye, the fourth lady of the Zhenbei Palace, is married.

Your Majesty is also happy to see this matter come to fruition, so everyone in Prince Lieyang's palace is full of confidence.

However, King Zhenbei refused!

To be precise, Hongye refused!

How could King Lieyang, a prince at the height of his power, keep this rejection on his face? The self-proclaimed literary genius of his family was even more embarrassed. It had become his habit to suppress the descendants of the Queen of Zhenbei.

Whenever he meets Yao Qiliang, he never shows mercy.

Yao Qiliang has a very kind temperament. For many years, the Zhenbei Palace has been suppressed by the former emperor Chu Shan and the five princes. He is also accustomed to being unassuming and not causing trouble, so Zhu Wu has always been very smooth in suppressing him.

Today, Yao Qiliang was really angry: "Brother Zhu, when it comes to literature, of course one has to focus on foundation, but one must also focus on virtue. Yao's foundation in literature is indeed insufficient, but he knows his shame and is brave, so why not make up for it head on? Why? As for repeated humiliation!”

Zhu Wu laughed and said, "Haha, I'm even irritated! Why don't you and I make a bet? I bet you won't even be able to touch the side of Jinshi in ten years, and I will be named on the gold list this year!"

Yao Qiliang stood up slowly: "Zhu Wu, even if you are named on this year's gold list, you are still just a villain! We, the Yao family, still disdain to be with you! Farewell!"

Zhu Wu laughed loudly from behind: "Brother Qiliang, you Zhenbei Palace used martial arts to become the king. Not to mention your mediocre literary skills. You actually lost the martial arts of your ancestors. You didn't even have the courage to gamble with me." None?"

Yao Qiliang's face was as gloomy as water, and he strode down the mountain without looking back.

Lin Su, who had arrived at the door of Princess Xingyue's meditation room, slowly turned around and stared at Yao Qiliang's retreating figure through the endless rain and fog...

Yao Qiliang?

The third prince of Zhenbei Palace?

He was actually among this group of students just now?

Lin Su knew about this third prince, but he had never met him. When the incident happened at Zhenbei Palace, he had not returned from his study trip, so he probably would not have known him.

Lin Su stretched out his hand and gently pushed open the Zen door in front of him.

Rain and fog are flying, and the mist outside the window is misty...

Princess Xingyue sat in front of the window and smiled lightly: "Are you touched?"

"What?"

Princess Xingyue said: "Yao Qiliang's humiliation today has something to do with you!"

"This matter... Where did this matter start?"

Princess Xingyue smiled faintly: "Do you know why Zhu Wu of the Lieyang Prince's family has always targeted the Zhenbei Prince's Palace? Just because of one thing, the Lieyang Prince's Palace proposed to Hong Ye, the fourth lady of the Zhenbei Prince's Palace, and Hongye refused. Why did Hongye refuse? Killed him? Because of you!"

Lin Su said in her heart, "I am C!"

He always said that when a butterfly flaps its wings, it will stir up a tornado in a distant place.

This statement is philosophical and absolutely true.

There are many things that seem unrelated, but in fact they are.

How could he not know Hongye's feelings for him, as a veteran in love who had been among thousands of flowers and never touched a leaf... oh, occasionally a little bit...?

However, the Zhenbei Palace was targeted by King Lieyang because of this refusal.

"Hey, he's so handsome. Beauty is a disaster. I can't be fooled by the ancients!" Lin Su touched his face.

Princess Xingyue was holding a teapot to pour him tea. As soon as he said these shameless words, Princess Xingyue almost crushed the teapot. She looked at him for a long time with a pair of wonderful eyes: "As the first grandmaster of Qinglian, with Are you really embarrassed to describe yourself as a beauty and a disaster?"

"I don't want to be so shameless, but I'm really handsome, and I'm also very helpless..." Lin Su sat down and picked up the tea cup: "I'm here to see you today, not just for this!"

"If it's just this, I really feel the need to ask Wei Xia to throw you out!" Princess Xingyue said: "Tell me your reason for coming."

"There is such a lake in Tanzhou!" Lin Su raised his hand, and a small lake appeared in the void: "I want to know what is so special about this lake."

Princess Xingyue raised her eyes and stared at the lake in the sky for a long time: "Hui Xian Lake! This is Hui Immortal Lake. Have you ever heard of the legend of meeting immortals when you are near the lake?"

"When you are near the lake, you will meet the immortal..." Lin Su said: "Tell me its story..."

Princess Xingyue said...

In the ancient country of Nanyang, there are many legends about Huixian, and even more about Huixian Lake. Its original name was not Huixian Lake, but Boyun Lake. It was precisely because there were so many Huixian that the world changed it. The name is Huixian Lake.

Huixian is a legend that has been circulating on Huixian Lake for many years. From thousands of years ago to the present, it can be found everywhere.

Many literati and masters of spiritual practice go boating on the lake. Sometimes they meet immortals and visit the immortal mansions. Those who obtain the treasures of the immortals have it, those who know the yin and yang of the heaven and earth have it, those who have made great progress in academics and those who have made great progress in cultivation. It abounds.

As a result, more people come to Huixian Lake. However, it all depends on chance. Some people accidentally enter the fairyland, and some people have been working hard for half their lives but got nothing.

"What? Do you want to try your luck?" Princess Xingyue said.

There was a mysterious light in Lin Su's eyes: "You said that the person who has to meet the immortal must be an expert in literature or spiritual practice?"

"Yes! How can ordinary people have a chance to be immortal?"

Lin Sudao: "It's not like these people left without returning. They still returned to the world of mortals, and they all gained a lot?"

"Yes, the vast majority of people just travel in the Immortal Mansion for a week and bring back huge harvests. If not, it would not stimulate the world's experts to gather here."

Lin Su held up the teacup and his expression changed slightly: "Can you find some information for me? I want more information about this lake!"

Princess Xingyue's heart skipped a beat, and her face slowly turned serious: "What do you mean..."

Lin Su raised her hand slightly: "Don't say anything more in front of me, I just need more information about it, from ancient times to the present!"

Princess Xingyue nodded slightly: "I will enter the palace now. There must be a lot of information in the royal secret volume. You are waiting here!"

A lotus flower on her forehead suddenly rose and turned into a lotus platform, carrying Princess Xingyue through the sky.

Lin Su gently raised the tea cup, took a sip of tea, and looked out the window. There was no one outside the window, at least, no one could be seen in his sight. However, he spoke: "Aren't you going on the road with the princess?"

No one responded.

If there is no one outside the window, then the only answer is: this person is silent!

Lin Sudao: "A person only needs to endure mental torture for the wrong things he has done, and does not need to bear punishment for things that are not his fault. If this mistake is not your fault, you have to use it to punish yourself. This is not the right path, this is bigotry!”

Still no response from the window!

Lin Su put down the tea cup gently: "You know, the last thing a person can't choose is his origin. What kind of family he comes from, and what kind of mark he carries on his body are not his choices. For him, no matter what, he can't choose. It’s not wrong!”

There was light rain outside the window, and he seemed to be talking to himself.

Lin Su sighed: "Maybe I'm wrong! Your paranoia is not because of the bloodline you couldn't choose, but because of Zen Master Shi Ku. You feel that Zen Master Shi Ku died because of you. You committed a sin, so you kept silent all your life. Use this silent accusation to repay Zen Master for helping you and saving your life."

The light rain outside the window suddenly stopped, as if it was just an illusion, and it seemed that another space had opened.

Lin Su looked out the window: "There is a misunderstanding in the world, which stems from filial piety. Many children think that filial piety to their parents is to go around the knees to perform filial piety, to serve tea and water, and to show that their parents are not far away. In fact, true filial piety is It's 'Filial piety is to do good deeds to parents'. What are good deeds? Correspond to the needs of parents. This misunderstanding seems to be not only in the secular world, but also in Buddhism outside the world of mortals! Do you think that punishing yourself is a reward for Zen Master Shiku? You have to see What does Zen Master Shiku want? He is willing to take great risks and risk the world's disapproval to rescue you in the rainy night. What kind of person do you think he hopes to save? Is he a paranoid person? Is he a person who will spend the rest of his life? Is he a person without a smile? Is he a person who is half a step away from being possessed by a demon? No! What he wants is actually the innocent person who had a great time with Princess Xingyue that day, with a smile as beautiful as a picture and a laugh as loud as a bell. Girl, what he likes is the warmth that is far away from the world of mortals, but still exudes a strong smoke. I guess when you and Princess Xingyue were chasing each other in the garden, Zen Master Shi Ku must have been smiling next to you. That kind of Smile, I believe you will remember it in your heart and never forget it."

Lin Su's voice was soft and peaceful, floating far away in the light rain.

Above the Zen room, in the light rain, Wei Xia's face slowly lifted up. In the rain and fog, her eyes finally fluctuated...

The words he said were like a wisp of wonderful wind, freezing her heart for thousands of miles, and tearing the endless night into a crack...

Through this gap, she seemed to really see Zen Master Shi Ku in the past. She seemed to have returned to ten years ago. She and Princess Xingyue were chasing and playing in the garden. The old Zen Master sat on the low wall and watched with a smile. they……

Her tears fell quietly...

Wei Xia was suddenly startled. Just before the tear fell, it suddenly disappeared, as if she had entered another space...

"Weixia, actually this name is not good. I still prefer your original name, Weiyu! The Luohua Man is independent, and Wei Yuyan flies together. If Zen Master Shiku is the 'independent person', I think he would be more willing See, in the light rain, two free swallows fly together!"

Wei Xia's heart was filled with microwaves...

Slowly raising my face in the light rain...

Her eyes have changed at this moment...

A holy light flashed in the sky, and a lotus came out of thin air. Princess Xingyue was back!

She brought a large collection of books of all kinds, and in a moment, half of her Zen room was filled...

Lin Su was stunned: "Did you move the entire royal library here?"

Princess Xingyue smiled softly: "After I arrived at the library, I suddenly realized that I was a bit stupid. Why didn't I take you directly into the library? Forget it, half of the library is empty. You can find it yourself slowly. I I am not a literary practitioner, so I must admit that I cannot see such a complicated thing..."

…

At the foot of the mountain, at Zhenbei Palace, Yao Qiliang is back.

When he came down the mountain, he was filled with anger.

However, after entering the Zhenbei Palace and seeing his wife greeting him under the eaves and his son holding her little hand, Yao Qiliang's inner anger disappeared instantly.

So what if I feel a little wronged?

Two years ago, did the Zhenbei Palace suffer too many grievances?

Didn't they come over too?

Where are the princes who have wronged them? Gone! But the Zhenbei Palace is getting stronger day by day!

Is there anything you can't let go of?

In this life, one cannot always be at the bottom, nor can he always be at the top.

Don’t be discouraged when you are at the trough, and don’t be arrogant when you are at the peak. This is the way to rise!

"Husband, you study hard day and night. Thank you for your hard work!" Madam greeted him.

"Madam, although I study hard day and night, my self-confidence has improved somewhat. However, my foundation is still lacking, and the imperial examination is imminent..."

The lady said: "Zhenbei Wangfu was granted the title of king by force. In the early stage, the Wangfu was trapped in a crisis for a long time. Everyone in the house was exhausted mentally and physically, and my husband had no intention of working hard. It only took two years from the day when the Wangfu was out of danger. In two years, even if my husband It is difficult for a man of extraordinary talent to match others' efforts of more than ten years. Even if he fails this time, it will not be a big deal. In another three years, I believe that my husband will become a great scholar!"

Yao Qiliang smiled softly: "Madam, please don't try to flatter your husband's face. My husband knows that he is not a genius, so how can he be considered a genius? The truly talented person in the house is actually the fourth sister, but unfortunately the fourth sister is the daughter. Otherwise, the first literary scholar to walk out of my Zhenbei Prince's Mansion should be her!"

The lady smiled softly: "Then why don't you, husband, go to Fourth Sister's place for a walk? I heard that Fourth Miss has been writing lyrics recently, and the lyrics are exactly what I want to learn from."

Fourth Miss Hongye is not writing lyrics at the moment, but copying them.

What she copied was "Mountains are one step away, water is one step away, walking towards the border gate, thousands of tents are lit in the dead of night; the wind is changing, the snow is changing, shattering the heart of the hometown, dreams are not fulfilled, there is no such sound in the hometown!"

In recent months, Lin Su's wonderful poems about his trip to the Northern Kingdom have passed through thousands of miles of the Northern Kingdom and thousands of miles of vastness, and entered the ancient Kingdom of Nanyang.

Fourth Miss Hongye copied it several times with her clear-edged small seal script.

Finally, the best copy was selected and merged into a collection. The name of this collection is "Autumn Leaves Collection".

Autumn leaves, autumn leaves, are red leaves!

But autumn leaves are also leaves that come with the wind. They come with a journey but no return. With this reinterpretation, her "Autumn Leaves Collection" has a certain charm.

When this poem was presented in her writing, Hongye looked at it infatuatedly...

Xing'er came behind her, but she didn't even notice it. Xing'er said softly: "Miss, the third young master is so hateful. He ran all the way to the north, why didn't he come to the south? It makes my young lady think so. What happened..."

"Ah!" Hong Ye reached back and grabbed Xing'er's arm: "You little girl, you miss him, right? You just want to be his wife..."

Xing'er shouted: "Miss, are you trying to defend yourself? Don't you clearly admit it? I am your first wife, and I am also your first wife. If you don't marry him, how can I become his first wife?"

Hongye had dug a hole for himself.

Xing'er's words are logical. She is Miss Fourth's personal maid. Whoever she gives a pass to, Fourth Miss will also give trouble to. The two are two sides of the same coin...

While the two were making a fuss, the girl outside ran over: "The third prince is here..."

"Ah? Brother Three Kings are you still interested in visiting us now?" Hong Ye quickly stood up to greet him.

Yao Qiliang came in, drank a cup of tea, and his eyes flickered: "Fourth sister, I saw a person at Jinyan Temple today. I think he is very similar to that person."

"who?"

Yao Qiliang said: "It's the projection that Fourth Sister often looks at."

ah? Hongye and Xing'er almost jumped...

That projection she always looked at? It was Lin Su's projection at the Zhenbei Palace that day. The fourth lady secretly recorded it and watched it alone. She almost got stuck in the projection and couldn't come out. Yao Qiliang also saw it by chance.

"That person has such a big deal at hand. Logically speaking, it is unlikely that he would suddenly appear in a temple in his country. But I think it is somewhat similar. I happened to have a video recording stone in my hand, so I recorded it quietly. Maybe the fourth sister can know it after seeing it with her own eyes. It’s him or not.”

As soon as the projection was played, Hongye and Xing'er were stunned...

Xing'er jumped up and said, "Oh my God, it's really him! He came to Nanyang Ancient Country, he...he heard the lady's call...I'm going to Jinyan Temple, I'm going now!"

Just as she bounced up, Hongye suddenly reached out and grabbed her. Her palms were sweating, and her voice was very urgent: "Myolie, please stop fooling around. Since he doesn't plan to show up in front of others, he must have something important to do. You can't miss his important event, sit down for me!" (End of Chapter)
