Red Heart Survey

Now the candle year is in front of the emperor.

There are not many people in the world who can see the emperor at any time, and Zhu Sui is certainly one of them.

The torn fur hat and old fur coat are gone.

That was the last trace of the Martial Ancestor on his body, just like his candle year, it was also the last photo of the Martial Ancestor era.

He was neatly dressed, but still stooped.

Watching the night is hard work, and the responsibility is heavy. For a long time, he couldn't straighten his spine.

The literary and elegant doctor Qingci left, and the emperor's eyes fell quietly on the old man.

Zhu Sui, who was already rickety, became even more rickety, and his voice was low and low: "I come to ask the emperor to resign."

The voice of the Son of Heaven was gentle, as if he was afraid of frightening the tired old man: "I have known you since I was in the residence. After so many years, I have been through wind and rain. You should know that I did not let you move the meaning of."

"The old minister has watched the night for thousands of years, and he has long been used to the long night in Linzi, so why don't he want to end up here? However, I am very concerned about being appointed as a replacement. It is to guard the long night for Daqi and patrol the mountains and rivers on behalf of the emperor. Why do you deserve it?" Zhu Sui said in a slow voice: "It's not the emperor's intention, nor the veteran's heart, to ask for your resignation. It's for the Daqi community, so it must be the case."

Qi Tianzi sat cross-legged on the stone platform, and suddenly chuckled: "There are no prisoners, no abandonment to death. Newcomers leave, old ones leave. That's why they are called lonely and widowed."

The laughter was so faint, as if it had never appeared before. Floating in the empty palace, making the empty even more empty.

Zhu Sui only said: "The king is like the sun and the moon, and the separation of love depends on people and not on heaven."

Qi Tianzi's voice became loud again, like the sun and the moon moving in the clouds: "It's hard to see in the long night, so there is a lantern. It's deeper and broken, and the bang sound is endless. Who do you think will succeed?"

Zhu Sui said slowly: "The watchman has an unusual job, and it is suitable for the emperor to decide on his own."

"I just want to hear your thoughts." Qi Tianzi said: "After all, you have a clear mind and you have carried the lamp for thousands of years."

Zhu Sui thought about it seriously, and then said: "If the emperor must listen to the old minister's ideas... I think that Manager Han is competent."

Before Han Lingyu lit the candle year, he had already signaled explicitly and secretly that he should move his position, how could he not know the candle year?

But he made the recommendation anyway.

The emperor asked again: "Who will take over the post of Han Ling?"

If Han Lingruo went to be in charge of the watchman, his position as the head of the eunuchs could only be found among the eight eunuchs who held pens and eight attendants, the sixteen eunuchs.

The emperor is also quite curious, who will be more optimistic about the candle year.

But Zhu Sui only said: "In the inner palace, the old officials have never visited."

"Old man." The Son of Heaven said, "Where do you want to take care of when you resign this time?"

Zhu Sui said slowly: "I still have three bodies.

"I am willing to go to the general's tomb and guard the tomb for the heroic spirit of the Great Qi.

"I wish to have ten acres of Susukida in my life, to cultivate the countryside, and to steal leisurely at night.

"I'm still in Kurongyuan all my life. I've gotten used to it for so many years. It's hard to sleep if I don't listen to monks chanting scriptures."

"It's all as the old man wishes." Qi Tianzi thought about it for a while, and then said: "It just so happened that someone gave up the fief, so he allocated ten acres of land for you in Qingyang Town. There was also a Zhengsheng Hall built there, which is quite nourishing. It will also belong to you in the future, go and live by yourself."

The burden of the millennium will be unloaded once. From now on, it's easy!

Zhu Sui's eyes were open, but even the creases on his face seemed to have stretched a bit: "The old man should thank the emperor, or the person who left?"

"You don't need to thank anyone." Qi Tianzi came down from the stone platform, and bowed deeply to Zhu Sui: "I want to thank the old man on behalf of the people in this world!"

Candle Years accepted this ceremony dignifiedly.

Then he threw himself to the ground, bowed down and got up again.

"Since the ages, no one has been more enlightened than Martial Ancestor and you. I started from Martial Ancestor and ended up with Your Majesty. I have no regrets in this life!"

After saying this, he held his white paper lantern and turned around.

Since then, there has been a long night without candles.

But people should remember. He once lit up the night in the streets of Linzi....

...

...

"What do you mean!"

"What do you mean?"

Among the two people who spoke, one looked like an ordinary middle-aged member, and the other was an elderly monk dressed casually and sitting in a casual posture.

One is fair-skinned and slightly fat, and the other is yellow-faced and thin.

If the identities of the two are put aside, this conversation is really ordinary.

In the streets and alleys, you can bump into them several times a day.

Of course, perhaps the lot should be left out.

There is nothing unusual about this wilderness itself, and there are no valuable resources.

But to the north of it is Zhuangguo Yinge City. To the south of it is Moguo Dy City.

It is the front line between Zhuangguo and Moguo.

As we all know, Yinge City is an important military town that Mo State ceded to Zhuang State a few years ago, and now it has become the southern gateway of Zhuang State. Of course, Zhuanguo and Moguo, who once had old grievances, are no longer at the same level and cannot be regarded as rivals.

Moguo takes military strategists as the mainstream, and has always been warlike and bloodthirsty, but he will not be so stupid as to repeatedly hit the iron wall with his body.

So this old monk has nothing to do with Mo Guo.

The Mo people didn't even dare to give him a sip of water, and of course, they didn't have the courage to expel him. As for the real mood, it is not enough for outsiders to know.

At this moment, Zhuang Gaoxian, the Emperor of Zhuang Kingdom, who was dressed in casual clothes, had a very impatient look in his eyes, and suppressed his emotions and said: "You feel bitter, you can think clearly. Is Buddhism trying to be an enemy of Taoism?"

Don't be afraid of rogues, but be afraid that rogues have strength.

It's not that he wants to come here in person, but that there is no second person in Zhuangguo who can talk to this monk.

Ku Jue sat on the ground with a careless heart, and scratched his ears with a straw, and showed a shocked expression when he heard this: "I didn't do anything! I can't do it just sitting around?"

Zhuang Gaoxian said coldly: "You know exactly what you are doing."

"Yes, I know exactly what I'm doing. I was sitting in the border of Mo country basking in the sun, and I was threatened by the emperor of Zhuang country." Kujue squinted at him: "Zhuang country has such long hands? Why don't you go to Xuankong Temple to threaten me?" I'm ready!"

Zhuang Gaoxian didn't playfully smile with him: "My Dazhuang founded the country here, which represents Yujing Mountain! You insist on staying here, which has already posed a threat to the border defense of our Zhuang country. Don't force Gu to take measures. When the time comes, we will meet each other and fight against each other. Thousands of armies are marching together, don't say that you are unpredictable!"

"You little son of a bitch! The Buddha doesn't open his mouth, and he thinks I'm a mud bodhisattva?" Ku Jue threw away the straw that was used to clean his ears, rolled up his sleeves and cursed aggressively at the same time——

Lie down.

"Come on, step on here! The Buddha really won't leave today, if you have the ability, you can hack the Buddha to death! We still don't believe it, I am the official real person of Xuankong Temple, sitting on the land of Moguo to bask in the sun, Can you be chopped down by you Zhuangguo people? Xi Tianshi is not as crazy as you!"

Even though Zhuang Gaoxian has the talent for eloquence, the other party is only willing to curse.

Even though Zhuang Gaoxian has unparalleled killing power, the opponent will not return his hand.

Even though Zhuang Gaoxian was in danger, the other party blocked the door of his house. It will be discovered as soon as it goes out of the country, and no layout can be laid out.

It's really maddening!

Zhuang Gaoxian had the heart to chop the old man to death with a single palm, and he had the heart to immediately gather an army to grind and kill the old monk on the spot. But it's just a thought.

The Eastern Holy Land of Buddhism is by no means a soft persimmon that is easy to pinch.

Yu Jingshan has to be weighed, not to mention his Zhuangguo?

During the confrontation, suddenly there was the sound of clothes breaking through the wind.

Zhuang Gaoxian turned his head to look over, and Kujue also looked sideways...

See you again!

It's just that compared to the yellow-faced old monk's casual clothes, this monk's clothes are beautiful and colorful. The tin staff with nine rings in his hand is shining golden, and the jade rosary beads around his neck are of extraordinary color.

Even the face seems to be coated with a layer of gold, which is very precious.

When he saw the eyes of the two real people, he quickly stretched out his hand to stop them: "The poor monk is just passing by. You should beat what you should, scold what you should, continue...continue."

Zhuang Gaoxian looked at him quietly, waiting for him to pass by.

But he stood his ground.

The yellow-faced old monk who was lying on the ground suddenly turned over and jumped up. He patted the ashes on his body in a caring manner, and said sourly: "The water and soil of Dan Kingdom still support people, look at you with a shiny face!"

The person who came was none other than Zen Master Zhaohuai of Mount Xumi, one of the founders of the Yuanshi Danmeng on the former site of Danguo. He was the one who was the first real person to rush to Dan Country when the Human Pill incident broke out.

Participate in the tripod, eat deer and get fat.

He looked at Ku Jue with regret: "You are still so poor."

Bitter feeling suddenly itchy teeth. If it wasn't for the more hateful Zhuang Xiao'er next to him, he would have stripped off this guy's beauty, lifted his tin stick, and rectified the atmosphere of Buddhism!

What the hell! Wear the Buddha's gold on yourself!

"There are still a lot of people in this world who need help, and there are still many eminent monks and great virtues who don't have a lot of money. You are so extravagant in taking care of yourself!"

"The eminent monk you are talking about is you, isn't it?"

"Your grandma's!" Ku Jue slapped his butt and walked away.

If he let go of the scolding and opened up the fight, he bitterly felt that the Buddha would not be left behind. But if you want to keep restraint next to Zhuang Gaoxian's son, and play Pili Yangqiu's tricks, it will be very embarrassing for the old man.

After all, it is true that no one is rich, and what is even more hateful is that the seniority is not as high as others.

The Kuzi generation of Xuankong Temple corresponds to the Yongzi generation of Mount Sumeru.

Zhaohuai took advantage of getting started early. Speaking of age, he is about the same age as him, but when it comes to seniority, the current Master of Mount Sumeru has to be called Master Uncle.

"Hey! Where is the eminent monk going?" Chan Master Zhaohuai continued to ask.

Kujue didn't turn his head back: "Great monk, great virtue, I'm ashamed to be with Adu!"

But after walking a few steps, he turned around abruptly, and said to Zhuang Gao enviously: "Your surname is Zhuang, Buddha is going to sit in Chengguo territory now, do you want to take care of it?"

Before Zhuang Gaoxian could say anything, he walked away hahaha.

Very good, let's go to block the east gate of Zhuangguo.

Zhuang Gaoxian didn't see any joy or anger on his face, he just looked at Zen Master Zhaohuai and said, "Mount Sumeru wants to wade through this muddy water?"

"Ah, Emperor Zhuang misunderstood." Zen Master Zhao Huai seemed very cultivated, much more polite than Ku Jue: "The poor monk is really just passing by."

Zhuang Gaoxian said: "Then you should go."

Zen Master Zhaohuai smiled: "I'll stop and have a rest."

Zhuang Gaoxian left in a huff and returned to Xin'an.

...

...

To go west to Xingyueyuan, Xu Country is a must.

Xu Kingdom's two great gods, Mrs. Xidu, and Generalissimo Fang You and Jiang Wang are all acquainted.

Of course, we walked through the streets and alleys with Bai Yuxia today, but they didn't attract any attention and just passed by in a normal way.

Thinking of the fierce beast lair hidden outside Songtao City with Yin Guan back then, he could only eavesdrop on a few orders from Mrs. Xidu, and dared not reveal anything.

Later, in the battle of Xingyueyuan, he was able to attend the forum as a non-voting delegate.

After the Qixia War is over, every time they pass through Xu Country, they will receive positive favors.

Up to now, they have avoided seeing them with a tacit understanding.

Things in this world are changing, and they are more like floating clouds.

Jiang Wang didn't feel emotional, but just crossed the mountains and mountains.

"Xiaobai, I'll test you." Jiang Wang said, "If we want to live in Xingyueyuan for a period of time, where do you think is a better place to settle?"

At the moment they are eating roast lamb around the stove, you cut each other, and the bones are removed very cleanly.

Next to each other was a pot of wine, a sip of wine and a sip of meat, the taste was very delicious.

Bai Yuxia didn't raise her head, and said while eating, "Tianfenggu, it's not far from the biggest markets, and the government of Rongguo has also set up an official store there, selling wine, meat, spiritual vegetables, and everything."

With his personality, it was impossible not to do his homework before going to Xingyueyuan. He has preliminarily screened out thirteen footholds, of which three are on the top, five are on the top, and five are on the bottom. There were worse options he hadn't considered. And each of them can list more than a dozen advantages and disadvantages. If you want to expand it, you will not be able to finish it in a while. So he casually picked one up.

Jiang Wang took a sip of wine: "Will there be any trouble? You know, I am a quiet person, and I just want to practice with peace of mind."

Bai Yuxia said confidently: "With our strength, there is no trouble in Xingyueyuan. If we don't trouble them, they should burn incense."

"Oh, okay." Jiang Wang said: "Then you can make arrangements. Thank you for your hard work."

You are so considerate, and you still say 'hard work'!

Bai Yuxia glanced at him, but finally had nothing to say, threw the sheep bone into the firepit, cleaned her hands, and walked into the night outside the house with her sword in hand.

They were in a mutton shop on the border of Xu Country.

The storefront is very small, except for the sheep slaughtering shop built of bricks and tiles, there are only three tents outside, each surrounded by a firepit, dedicated to roasting sheep.

Those who only eat a few catties of mutton can sit in the sheep slaughter shop, and those who eat roasted sheep can come to the tent.

Jiang Wang and Bai Yuxia occupied one of them, and found a feeling similar to that of Muguo here.

The store also advertised in this way, saying that they are authentic Bei Shepherd lambs.

I don't know if it's authentic or not, but the price is quite Beimu. There is a kind of blood from the true blood family, which flowed to Jin Gui from the Eastern Region.

Bai Yuxia lifted the curtain and came out, but the wind blowing in from outside did not stop, making the bonfire fluctuate.

Time passed slowly, and Jiang Wang was not in a hurry.

He has the virtue of thrift, and slowly cut off the last piece of mutton, accompanied by the last sip of wine, took the cloth towel soaked in hot water next to him, and slowly wiped his mouth. Cai was quite satisfied and said: "The visitor is a guest, do you want to call another sheep for you?"

"No need, we've already eaten." A voice responded from outside the tent.

The person almost squeezed into the tent, as if he was in a hurry. Wearing a monkey mask and of medium stature, he declared himself as soon as he came in: "Feng Shen."

The second person came in stepping on the cold wind, or in other words, the arrival of this person made the wind even colder. He didn't wear a mask, but his face was very ordinary, unrecognizable, and his voice was cold: "Wu Si."

The third person who came into the tent was wearing a dog fur cap and a black visor. He went straight to Jiang Wang and sat down, stretching out his hands to warm himself by the fire: "Why is it so cold in autumn?"

He turned his head and looked back at Wu Si: "Can you move a little further away?"

Then he looked at Jiang Wang and introduced himself with a smile: "I'm Chu Xu."

"Chu Xu?" Jiang Wang, who had always been expressionless, seemed to have finally become interested at this time, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "I remember I killed it."

"Yes!" Chu Xu seemed very proud: "I'm new!"
