Martial Cultivator

There is a saying that makes sense: the mountain is there, whether you look at it or not, it is there.

The dean is in the academy, in the capital of the gods, on that mountain. He stands there quietly. Whether you see it or not, he is there.

When he wants to see you, no matter whether you hide or not, he can't hide.

Regardless of whether this statement makes sense or not, it is a fact.

Walking by the lake, Chen Chao felt a little heavy.

Xie Nandu saw his worry and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Chen Chao did not answer this question, but looked at the lake and asked, "I heard that the dean and the current majesty are very good friends."

Xie Nandu thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty has already known Mr. Sir when he was still the vassal king. However, Your Majesty and Sir are not best friends yet. Your Majesty's best friend should be the deceased Imperial Master."

The monk who came from Luming Temple, but got acquainted with His Majesty because of his early travels to the divine capital, is now the true friend of Emperor Daliang. At the beginning of the army, Emperor Daliang had only a few soldiers. There was a national advisor at his side who offered advice and repeatedly solved the puzzle for Emperor Liang. He was afraid that he could no longer persist. Therefore, when the throne was replaced, the first thing Emperor Dalian did was to make the monk a national advisor.

"It's just a pity that the Imperial Advisor blocked an assassination for His Majesty in the early years. He was severely injured and left with hidden wounds. He passed away a few years ago. Your Majesty authorized the Imperial Advisor to be buried in the imperial mausoleum and accompany him for generations to come."

This dynasty of the Daliang Chaotianjian only lasted for thirteen years, and not too many things happened. Every major event was recorded very clearly. The friendship between the Imperial Master and the Emperor of Daliang was even more detailed. Record.

"The Imperial Master and His Majesty have known each other since they were young. They are very good friends. They are more like gentlemen's acquaintances. Although they have a good relationship, one of them always represents the academy and the other dominates the entire Liang Dynasty. The relationship cannot be said to be far or near. , there are some things in it that are unclear.”

Chen Chao just asked about the relationship between the dean and His Majesty, and Xie Nandu said a lot of things, which surprised Chen Chao.

Xie Nandu asked, "What else do you want to know?"

Chen Chao shook his head and said, "No more."

Xie Nandu said no more, and the two of them quickly arrived at the lakeside. The small pavilion in the middle of the lake was not far away.

Scholar Wei Xu was fishing by the lake.

This is a very rare thing.

Xie Nandu meets Wei

Preface, bowed seriously, and then asked, "What are you doing, senior brother?"

Wei Xu smiled and said, "Sir, I want to eat fish tonight."

After saying this, Wei Xu turned to look at Chen Chao, smiled and said, "Sir, please come."

Chen Chao silently saluted. Although Mr. Wei didn't like him, he still had all the courtesy he should have.

After saluting, he walked towards the small pavilion in the middle of the lake without any hesitation, as if the worried young man before had thought everything through now and there was no longer any obstacle.

Wei Xu looked at Chen Chao's back and said calmly, "Junior sister, do you think he has no secrets in him?"

The Xie family didn't know what the secret was about Chen Chao, nor did the Wei family. Even the bigger figures didn't know. But as things continued to develop, many big figures had some ideas in their minds and began to keep asking. Narrow down the scope, I'm afraid it won't be long before the truth comes to light.

This is something no one can stop.

"Is it important to have a secret?" Xie Nandu looked at Wei Xu, his eyes without too much emotion.

Wei Xu smiled and said, "If they are just friends and just acquaintances between gentlemen, it makes no difference no matter what. But if junior sister wants to go further, she may have to face an extremely difficult choice."

Hearing these words, Xie Nandu shook his head and said, "Choosing this kind of thing is something only people with a weak will can do."

She didn't finish her words, but Wei Xu also understood what she meant.

Wei Xu smiled and shook his head. He did not argue. He just shook his hand and raised the green bamboo pole in his hand. He pulled up a plump carp with its tail swinging and a lot of water droplets splashing around.

Xie Nandu looked up at the young man walking towards the center of the lake.

…

…

Chen Chao walked on the road leading to the center of the lake.

The small pavilion in front of you is not far ahead.

He walked slowly, every step firm.

The dean under the pavilion has stood up and is looking at Chen Chao, the leader of scholars in the world, with a calm expression. Looking at the young man in black shirt, there is no trace of emotion.

Dew is like a towering mountain.

The dean is indeed a towering mountain.

If he wanted to embarrass Chen Chao at this moment, he had countless ways to do it, but he did nothing. He just watched the young man walking from a distance and finally came to him.

The dean stood under the pavilion and Chen Chao stood outside the pavilion.

The two of them were only a foot apart.

"Meet the dean."

Chen Chao began to salute. He needed to show his respect for the dean.

The dean looked at him and said nothing.

No words were spoken for a long time.

This time was very long, so long that Chen Chao felt it was too long.

"You are the deputy commander of Zuowei and the governor of Tianqing County earlier. But where were you earlier?"

Yes, people are not exempt from vulgarity, even a person like the dean. He was also very curious about the identity of the young man in front of him.

The dean did not use any tricks. When he asked questions, there was no mental oppression. He was like an ordinary scholar who read wonderful things while reading by the lake. He couldn't help but sigh with emotion. This book is extremely well written. What is it? How did you write it?

Faced with this problem, Chen Chao thought for a long time before slowly saying, "This junior grew up by the Wei River."

When he was at Xie's house, Chen Chao's answer to the old man's question was this. He grew up on the banks of the Weishui River, and there was nothing special about it.

This time, Chen Chao omitted the last half of the sentence and only said the first sentence.

He lowered his head so that the dean could not see his eyes, and it seemed difficult to judge whether Chen Chao was lying.

The dean didn't seem to care about this at all, but said, "Growing up by the Weishui River, you will inevitably experience that flood. It is not easy to survive that disaster."

After the storm of the eleventh year of Tianjian, many people are not willing to mention that matter at this moment.

Too tragic.

Chen Chao said, "The younger generation is lucky, so he survived with difficulty."

What he said is very interesting. It not only tells that he experienced the catastrophe, but also supports what he said before about growing up by the Weishui River.

The dean smiled and said, "From Tianjian Eleven

In the 13th year of Tianjian, you will have been the guardian of Tianqing County for more than two years, and there should be some gaps in between. "

"It's just that I can't seem to find out what happened in your Heavenly Prison eleven years ago. It's really hard not to think too much about it."

The dean spoke slowly, with a voice like the spring breeze, and said, "Actually, you don't need to answer. I also know that there is a possibility that you are from a humble enough background, and you are just an ordinary family by the Wei River, so naturally no one will care. That is The weeds by the lake are very inconspicuous. Who would go to see them? After a flood, the weeds were also submerged, and no one knew their origins because they could no longer be investigated. Maybe it was because they finally appeared in Tianqing County. It’s a small misunderstanding, so everyone thinks about you too complicatedly and thinks you have some big background. This is of course possible, but is this the truth? "

He asked seriously.

Everyone in Shendu was thinking about Chen Chao's descendants who had settled down in the former dynasty, and when they were thinking about Chen Chao's deposed emperor, the dean saw something else. He went to another extreme. .

But such speculation is also reasonable.

Chen Chao looked at him, and after thinking about it, he asked him to tell him his answer.

The dean shook his head at this time and said, "I already know it, you don't need to say it."

Chen Chao was a little confused.

The dean patted his shoulder and said seriously, "Let those people guess again."

Chen Chao smiled bitterly and said, "What do you mean by the dean's words?"

The dean smiled and said, "Scholars always like to be in the clouds. As the leader of scholars in the world, of course I am the same. Some words are the same as those that are not said. You have to think for yourself whether they are interesting or not."

Chen Chao was stunned. He had already thought that when he came to the pavilion, the dean would be in a storm. However, he never expected that although the dean still spoke, he did not seem to be as stressed as he imagined. Chang even seemed very calm and spoke very casually.

Chen Chao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This junior thought it was another intrigue."

The dean shook his head and said, "Although you have some reputation and are considered great among your peers, when it comes to the city's calculations, how do you compare to me, an old guy who has lived for so many years?"

If that works, there should be another chapter.
