I Am Immortal In The Cultivation World
Chapter 57
The moon is in the middle of the sky.
The city gate of Shenjing was closed.
The sound of horseshoes from far to near, splashed a trail of smoke and dust, waking up the dozing soldiers.
"Who is coming? Stop! Stop... shoot the arrows!"
The city gate officer shouted a few times and ordered the archers to attack, and countless feather arrows shot at the people who came.
Swipe!
The horse instantly turned into a hedgehog, rushed forward a few feet and fell to the ground. The figure on the horse jumped and flew five or six feet into the air.
When the city gate officer saw this, his face relaxed, and the city of Shenjing was nine feet high.
Just as he was about to order to continue shooting arrows, he vaguely saw a dark shadow in the sky, and someone stepped on it to borrow strength again.
After flying more than ten feet into the air, it landed on the city wall with a bang, and the gravel splashed.
"Don't come here..."
The city gate officer turned pale with fright, and couldn't help backing away. The marrow washing masters on the famous side were not so terrifying.
The figure was Zhou Yi, who glanced at the city gate officer, and ran towards Yongchang square.
months ago.
Jin Yiwei reported a strange tomb, anyone who approached it would hit the wall, and walk away after a few turns, which was taboo by the people in the village.
By consulting the local county annals, I learned that the owner of the tomb was a Taoist priest who lived alone and lived a full hundred and forty years. Since the owner of the tomb was most likely a monk, Zhou Yi left Beijing to investigate, and spent money to hire hundreds of people to directly level the hill.
Zhou Yi watched from a distance, not daring to approach.
Until the funerary objects in the tomb were emptied, they were identified one by one with magic power, and they got a little gain.
On the way back.
The scriptures obtained through the slow study of the Book of Changes, the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River along the way is completely different from that in the northern Xinjiang.
Until three days ago, Zhou Yi listened to a few people in the rivers and lakes chatting about the famous thief saint decades ago who was dying of a serious illness, or lamented the death of the older generation, or envied the death of the thief saint.
Confirming again and again that Thief Saint is Lao Bai, Zhou Yi rushed back to Shenjing immediately.
Blessed with lightness kung fu, the speed was faster than galloping horses, until the mana was exhausted, and four or five horses ran to death, and finally returned to Shenjing after running for three thousand miles day and night.
Yongchang square.
white house.
Seeing that there was no white lantern hanging at the door and no incense ash on the ground, Zhou Yi was slightly relieved.
"Fortunately it's not too late!"
Lao Bai can be said to be the only friend. If he can't give him a ride before he dies, it will be a pity every time he thinks about it in his long life.
He plunged into the courtyard and came to Laobai's residence in the back house. It was already midnight and the lights were still on.
There were voices in the room, men and women, who seemed to be arguing about something.
Zhou Yi opened the door and went in, and saw Lao Bai's sons and daughters talking around the bed.
Someone heard the sound of the door opening and turned around to see an old man in a blue robe.
Zhou Yi glanced past several people, and looked at the old man lying on the bed: "Old Bai, are you still alive?"
Hearing the voice, Lao Bai slowly opened his cloudy eyes and twisted his neck with difficulty.
"Cough, cough, cough! If I can't wait for you, I'm willing to die."
Dying, obviously dying.
When the men and women in the room heard this, they looked at each other and stepped back. They knew that their father had traveled all over the rivers and lakes and had a good reputation, so it should be someone from the rivers and lakes who came to visit.
Zhou Yi stood in front of the bed, looking at the wrinkles on Lao Bai's face, which was no longer as handsome as before.
"Old Bai, I'm finally ahead of you. I can still go to Chunfeng Building now."
Lao Bai was not to be outdone: "We have been handsome all our lives, and you will never realize what you look like in many years,"
The two looked at each other and suddenly burst out laughing.
Laobai's qi deficiency was weak, he twitched a few times amidst the laughter, and almost couldn't breathe.
The eldest son next to him said with concern: "Father, the imperial doctor told you not to be moved by sadness or joy!"
"Go out, I'll talk to my old friend."
Lao Bai waved his son and daughter out, sighed and said: "I made you laugh, these guys are not up to date."
A few people were making noise in the house just now, they were separating the family.
In front of Lao Bai, the two sons of Princess Rongchang sneered at the other brothers and sisters, telling them to go back to the rivers and lakes and so on.
"what is this?"
Zhou Yi shrugged: "At least there was no killing. Last year, the Supreme Emperor died. It is said that Ye Yu's nine daughters died, and I didn't even bother to find a decent reason."
Lao Bai asked: "What is the exact reason?"
Emperor Jinglong, the Supreme Emperor, collapsed in Shangyang Palace at the beginning of the second year of Zhengtong, and was given the posthumous title Si.
"Unwilling to be trapped in Shangyang Palace, the Supreme Emperor somehow contacted Marquis Chen, and even poisoned the Imperial Dining Room, trying to poison the Empress Dowager and His Majesty to regain the throne."
Zhou Yi said: "It's a pity that heaven failed to fulfill people's wishes, and only poisoned a few servants who cheated. Afterwards, His Majesty entered Shangyang Palace with a sword, and the Supreme Emperor collapsed!"
Emperor Jinglong failed another palace change and died at the hands of his son. Strictly speaking, he had something to do with Zhouyi.
During the draft in the same year, Chen Qing successfully entered the palace as a concubine, and was quite favored by His Majesty. The Chen family was as beautiful as ever. However, the harem is the world of Empress Dowager Zhang, and even the orthodox emperor is not allowed to be free, let alone a mere concubine.
Chen Qing acted arrogantly and domineeringly, repeatedly violated the palace rules, and was punished by the Queen Mother many times.
Jealousy, stupidity, hatred...
Chen Qing's temperament could not be tolerated, but the orthodox emperor was incompetent, so he conspired with the Supreme Emperor of Shangyang Palace to commit adultery.
The Supreme Emperor informed Chen Hou of this matter. With such a scandal in the royal family, Chen Hou didn't even have a chance to choose, so he had to board a pirate ship. As a result, he was suspected of treason, stripped of his title, and ransacked his home into exile.
Yuan Shun took this opportunity and was promoted to the post of Tongzhi of Jinyiwei.
Relying on Yuan Shun's power, most of the chess pieces arranged by Zhou Yi in the past two years were promoted smoothly.
Chess pieces got the double help of skills and backing, Yuan Shun got a group of elite support, Zhou Yi got a lot of secrets related to immortality.
The three parties help each other, share the same interests, and the originally loose relationship becomes more and more solid!
When Lao Bai heard the truth about his father poisoning his son and his son killing his father, he said strangely, "In this way, my sons and daughters are just naughty."
With decades of experience in Jianghu, Lao Bai faintly felt that this matter was related to the Book of Changes, but friends already had secrets, so there was no need to delve too deeply into it.
Zhou Yi nodded slightly: "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, so let them go as they please. You should take good care of yourself, and maybe you can live a few more years."
"Since the three of them left one after another, I feel like I'm dead. I only hope to go to the underworld as soon as possible and continue to be a couple in the underworld with them."
Lao Bai murmured: "Old Zhou, I can persist until now, just waiting for you to come, hoping to ask for one thing!"
Zhou Yi recalled for a moment: "You and I have known each other for forty years, and it seems that this is the first time we have said this."
"If I beg you to do something and I owe you a favor, can I still be friends?"
Lao Bai rested for a while, and continued: "Now I can't live for a few more days, and the fate of friends will be cut off from then on. I beg you to be able to save face even if you do things."
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
Zhou Yi vaguely guessed that it was most likely entrusted to protect future generations. Lao Bai was not the first, nor would he be the last.
After all, if you live for a long time, you can always send one acquaintance after another to die!
"My children. The eldest seems to be honest, but in fact he is mean. He just thinks he is good at acting. The second is a domineering dude. You must look down on Lao Zhou. The third, Xiao's mother is cruel, but she doesn't know how to hide. disaster."
"Only the youngest, with a quick and changeable temper, may achieve something in the future."
"Now that the foreign relatives are in power and the country is unstable, there will be great chaos in the future."
Lao Bai begged: "My father-in-law is part of the Queen Mother's party, and now my brother-in-law is also part of it, and it may affect the Bai Mansion in the future. If something unbearable happens, Lao Zhou will help protect Yao'er's party and leave Shenjing safely."
Zhou Yi wondered: "Lao Bai is so sure that the Queen Mother will be liquidated in the future?"
Lao Bai nodded and said in affirmation.
"My relatives won't last long in power. Even if His Majesty can't resist, his son will take revenge in the future. The longer he controls the government, the deeper the resentment of the royal family will be. If it backfires, it will mean copying the family and exterminating the family!"
